APOPKA, FL -- The Lobster Zone crane once again has been targeted by PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which charges that the "machine turns torture and death into a game." This time, the animal rights activists called attention to a machine in Denver, CO, following a complaint from a restaurant customer. See story in Denver Post here.
According to Nick Pappas, marketing vice-president of the Lobster Zone Inc., which manufactures the crane, PETA rarely targets the company. Rather, its members sporadically alert local news media about their objections to one of their distributors' machines on location. As for patrons, he estimates fewer than two out of 8,000 who come into contact with the machine might lodge a complaint. "The numbers are very low," he told VT.
Generally, the Apopka, FL-based company does not respond to PETA protests, opting instead to allow the negative publicity to disappear quickly. In those few cases in which the company is directly attacked, it will issue a press release that dismisses "misrepresented facts" about the machines and lobsters. "We have found that more than 85% of online bloggers responding to recent stories have favored the machine and would love to play it."
The Denver Post reporter investigating the story at J.D.'s Bait Shop wrote: "...I found eight lobsters, peacefully spread out in as pristine a tank as I'd seen anywhere... If you are a lobster, this has got to be one of the safest places."
Pappas said the company is dedicated to ensuring that its vending equipment operates reliably and maintains an uncontaminated saltwater environment for its lobster booty. Claw tension is applied by air pressure, and the plastic arms wrap around a lobster's body, functioning more like a basket that can gently lift the catch. This design feature prevents the crane's claw from puncturing a lobster's body, which itself is protected by a hard shell. Designed by a marine biologist, the tank is engineered to preserve purity. That environment is controlled by a state-of-the-art chiller and filter system that Pappas said is better than most lobster pound tanks used by restaurants and seafood shops.
"Our distributors are required to go through a training program so they know how to properly maintain the machine and handle lobsters," Pappas said. "The machine is very user-friendly and we only use top-of-the-line parts, components and materials for its fabrication."
The lobster vending machine was designed in 1996 by Advanced Games & Engineering (Ft. Lauderdale, FL), which went out of business several years later. The idea behind the machine is to entice restaurant customers to pay $2 for a chance to catch their own meal -- to make the lobster dinner more sporting, so to speak.
Ernie Pappas, Nick's grandfather and a former distributor of the AGE device, took over manufacturing, sales and service for the lobster machine business in 2001. To date, Lobster Zone Inc. has deployed more than 300 of its improved models. It employs 20 people and is capable of building 30 units a month at its Florida facility. Information on the Lobster Zone crane can be had at (407) 814-8440.

Date: February 27 2013
Manly are confident Brett Stewart will play in the Sea Eagles' NRL opener against Brisbane next Friday despite a salary cap drama.
The four-year contract signed by the NSW fullback last year is still to be registered with the NRL after it was knocked back by salary cap auditor Ian Schubert.
As it stands, Stewart will be unable to run out at Suncorp Stadium, but a club official told AAP that Stewart's deal will be rubber stamped this week.
"Brett Stewart will play in round one, there's no doubt," said newly-appointed head of corporate affairs, Neil Evans.
"It's only a minor thing we are working on, and we're pretty confident it will be signed off very soon."
The club were left with a number of players off-contract after winning the 2011 grand final but key players Kieran Foran, Steve Matai, Daly Cherry-Evans and Matt Ballin all re-signed.
However, Tony Williams, Darcy Lussick, Dean Whare, Michael Oldfield and Daniel Harrison, Vic Mauro and Liam Foran were offloaded as the club battled to meet a number of back-ended contracts agreed to under former coach Des Hasler.
Tom Symonds' move to Manly from Sydney Roosters collapsed on Tuesday when the Sea Eagles were unable to re-structure Stewart's contract to Schubert's satisfaction.
And Sea Eagles chairman Scott Penn admitted it was likely more players could leave as the club tried to balance the books.
"We'll have to make some hard decisions and move on," Penn told Sportal.
"The options are narrowing and we're running out of time so it just needs to be sorted."
Former NSW prop Brent Kite is one player rumoured to be heading for the exit door.
Parramatta coach Ricky Stuart has been frantically looking around for a front-rower to bolster his inexperienced pack and Kite would appear to be a good fit.
However, manager Daryl Mather insists his client is going nowhere.
"If I was a betting man I would say Brent will stay at Manly," Mather told AAP.
"Manly haven't approached us and said they want him to go. He was probably their best forward last year.
"He's feeling very fresh and can go round for another two or three years.
"He's off-contract at the end of the year and may well have to move on to earn the revenue he's getting now at Manly.
"But for now he's staying put."

Colonel Eugene Blair Conrad
February 17, 1917 – September 6, 1992
Colonel Conrad entered the Army as a second lieutenant from North Carolina State College October 9, 1940 assigned to the 31st infantry. He was sent to Manila April 21, 1941. He always remembered the attack on Pearl Harbor and his belief that the world had changed forever. He fought in the grueling action that followed in the Philippines, wounded three times before his capture on Bataan April 11, 1942. Over 2000 died in the merciless Bataan Death March. Saying to himself "one foot in front of the other, keep walking" he maintained his will to live.
Colonel Conrad spent over three years as a prisoner of War in Japan. The end of the war found Colonel Conrad at Roko Roshi Japanese prison camp120 miles from Tokyo. There were 326 U.S. officers and 31 enlisted men in this camp.
Colonel Conrad went on to serve 32 years in the Army, spanning World War II, Korea and Vietnam, becoming a pioneer in Army aviation safety. It wasn't until May of 1961 when he graduated from flight school, starting his career as a dual-rated Army aviator. He relentlessly worked to promote aviation safety and accident prevention. He also increased the stature of Army safety, instituting safety officer career and educational programs and flight safety orientation courses in service schools. He is responsible for the consolidation of all safety responsibilities into one organization. In 1971, before his retirement in 1972, he received the James H. McClellan Aviation Safety Award as the individual making the most outstanding contribution to Army safety. On June 3, 1993 the United States Army Safety Center complex was named in his honor as the Conrad Safety Complex, located at Fort Rucker, Alabama. Colonel Conrad and his wife Wanda are buried in Arlington National Cemetery and his survived by four of his six children, many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Would You Scream if You Saw Kristen?
Pingpongtan caught Kristen on video for a nano-second leaving the New Moon set yesterday.
Also, ericavandelay has made a video of more Forks High shots -- no cast members, but still cool to see what goes on behind the scenes of movie making. (Note: Video ends around 1:00 but music keeps playing...)
9 comments:
No but I would snap a picture with my camera phone so I could later prove that I had in fact seen her.ReplyDelete
Years ago when I was living in New York I worked next to a building that often hosted movie premieres. I got very close to some famous people (like Nicole Kidman). I never screamed but I did regret not having a camera with me.
I only scream for Rob. ;)
Well, actually depends on the situation with that. I mean, if I'm at a premier where I'm NOT the only one....then yeah. But, you know if I were in a restaurant...and he was eating at a table beside me...I'd just stare at him really hard. ;)
I would not scream for any celebrity (with the exception of Rob maybe but even then I'm still pretty calm on the outside). They are just human like me. Just like Juju said, I would take a picture just to prove that I did see her in real life.ReplyDelete
ummmm maybe in that situation yes building off of everyones energy...but if i just saw her on the street prob. not hahaReplyDelete
no, I wouldn't scream if I saw her. that would be pathetic.ReplyDelete
I only scream (when appropriate, lol) at concerts. Think about it - would you want people shrieking like that at you? No. :-)ReplyDelete
She looks happy to be there :)ReplyDelete
I guess those girls didn't read the interview when Kristen said screaming girls scare her....ReplyDelete

Skip to comments.The Antigun Movement's Bridge Too Far
Posted on 01/23/2013 9:55:47 PM PST by Winged Hussar
Overextension is a classic way to snatch catastrophic defeat from the jaws of victory. Examples include Napoleon's invasion of Russia, Hitler's decision to start a war with Russia before he finished his war with Britain, and Operation Market Garden. The latter debacle was the origin of the phrase, "A bridge too far."
Overextension is often the result of hubris, the delusion of invincibility as exemplified by Napoleon and Hitler. The enemies of the Bill of Rights have similarly assumed they could exploit the blood of the murder victims to revive an agenda that had been put down hard in 2000, but their resulting hubris yielded at least three irrevocably self-damning statements that should turn their opportunity into a catastrophe.
This will not, however, happen by itself. If this material stays at American Thinker and on the referenced Web sites, it will do little good. We need to spread it as widely as possible via letters to the editor, personal contacts, and talk radio. We also need to use it to remind our Senators and Members of Congress that gun control is why Democrats lose elections.
(Excerpt) Read more at americanthinker.com ...
Except that the dims always ask for much more than they actually want. That is how they get what they want.
It will be interesting to watch this unfold.
Obama curiously left out any mention of gun control from his inauguration speech while doubling down on all his other pet agenda, yet Diane Finestein is set to unveil new gun control legislation in the Senate tomorrow.
Meanwhile the masses are snapping up guns and ammo at a never before seen rate.
The gun grabbers probably won't do well at the federal level, but at the state level, they will have some gains. Look at NY, they just gutted the 2a.
True enough.
One of their tactics is to take two steps past the line.
Then when the Pubbies complain the Dems say, "let us negotiate"
When all is done the Dems are still one step over the line and the Pubbies act like they stopped them in their tracks.
I think they are all in cahoots.
I keep hoping overextension will start to apply to homo "marriage," the health care omnibus, abortion laws. . .
still waiting. . .
I know, it could always be worse.
You are wise to the game.
We need to go on the offensive and push for pro-second amendment legislation (permit-free federal concealed carry, get rid of gun free zones, etc.).
It takes work, though. Write your legislators, even if they are leftists and you don't think it will do any good.
I just sent letters to my two democrat senators tonight. Don't leave me hanging.
Don't we have 34 Rep Governors at the state level?
At any rate. all politics is local.
We have 30 Republican Governors.
Some in name only.
... Australia's Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research acknowledges that the gun ban had no significant impact on the amount of gun-involved crime:
In 2006, assault rose 49.2 percent and robbery 6.2 percent.
Sexual assault — Australia's equivalent term for rape — increased 29.9 percent.
Overall, Australia's violent crime rate rose 42.2 percent.
The reference adds that an Australian woman is three times as likely as an American one to be a rape victim.
The above from the link:
They haven't lost yet.
And I don't think they will on this one.
True. And that is why we must fight vehemently in the Congress against ANY proposal or sub-part thereof.
Universal Checks is Registration, Registration is Confiscation unexecuted.
The GOPe is merely the "away jersey" of the lib-dems; flip side of the same coin.
I thought Obamacare was an "over reach" .........
Another example is Illinois, where a fed judge a couple of months back, ordered the Illinois legislature to pass some form of concealed carry law, Illinois being the only state that has none.
Instead of doing that, Illinois is now trying to pass even more restrictive laws.
The leftist elites have to know that many millions of Republican-hating average Dems own firearms and are as disagreeable to the idea of giving up their guns as the average conservative Republican. If they don't know, then they're dumber than they look.
I live in NYS - tell me about it!

text: The most convincing evidence of Nadal's greatness relative to rivals like Fed, Djoker, and others is the high esteem in which other top players hold him. Murray, Ferrer, Berdych, Tipsarevic--all consider Nadal the toughest player to beat. And Djokovic has been quoted as saying that Nadal is the greatest player of all time. Nadal will not pass Federer but he will come close. And if he ends up with 15 majors or more, he will be GOAT because of the H2H and Fed's WEAK ERA.

|Sunny but cold
Date Climbed: Mar 21, 2010
|A nice sunny day, warm and muddy low on the mountain, cold and windy on the top. Too many people for my liking but still a pleasant day with beautiful views from the top. Appropriately, had dinner at Annapurna in Boston that evening :)

|A favorite option
|Have climbed Monadnock many times, often because of poor weather up north or because its so darn easy to get to from Boston and I'm being lazy. Cascade Link/Spellman/Pumpelly was great on my last trip and probably the route I'll end up taking from now on due to the (relatively) less crowded nature of the trail and the fun scramble section on the Spellman spur.

|White Dot to Cascade Link to Spellman to Pumpelly
Date Climbed: Aug 1, 2009
|One of my favorite trail combinations to use for this peak, you begin to get some views of the surrounding hills and valleys shortly after you branch off onto the Cascade Link which follows a runoff stream the majority of the way up. Spellman is a fun scramble up to Pumpelly, and from there to the top you get periodic breaks in the trees along the ridgeline all the way to the summit.
As an alternate, this is an incredibly fun experience to do at night. Start the climb at 1-2am and you can easily make it to the top for some stargazing before the sunrise.

Date Climbed: Jun 7, 2010
|Climbed via the Parker Trail from the Monadnock State Park Headquarters. It was nice to check out such a popular mountain on a relatively quiet day. The rugged, rocky terrain near the summit is quite spectacular. Had several glimpses of the White Mountains from Monadnock's higher slopes.

Date Climbed: May 15, 2010
|Got started around 8:00 and saw a few people, mostly passing me as they went up. Climbed the White Dot and descended the White Cross. A surprising amount of scrambling for so small a mountain. Wind was ferocious on top. As I came down, it seemed like there was a parade going up. Glad I got there early.

Vizard's Dueling Academy
This is the Vizards Dueling Academy, for those of you that don't know what this is based off, it is based off of yugioh and all matches and sections will be on the gaming site known as duelingnetwork.com
This group has been created due to the fact of searching and helping create a hell of an awesome team and even help with questions about the cards, how to build an effective deck, or how to get rated points to join specific teams. Creating this I decided to rate beings and place them in specific sole groups. With their ranks I will assign some in tournaments for the team cup etc. So do your best and climb your way to the top.
I too will pick certain members to lead each specific group I lay out. The name's of these said groups will also be known as titles and or rankings.
✦ | |Omega: Omega class is for those of you who are already advanced and some how manage to beat one of my ''decks''. If you fail to do so I will have the undying will to pick which rankage you will belong to. This is only for those of Highly advanced classes that rarely lose and can bring this base form impressive results.
✦ | |Alpha: Alpha class is for those who seek and crave to duel, dismantle and destroy their opponents to get to Omega rankage. This class is semi advanced meaning thy can pack a punch but not as effective as omega, but just because they lack omega class does not mean you can't take them serious since their are two more classes below after this one.
✦ | |Gamma: Gamma classes are those that are traditional to the game and know the rules but rarely battle for rated causes, and just do it for giggles and fun, so they mostly play in unrated or traditional lobbies. They don't strive to be known, they don't care for stature or brag, they just care about the quality of the game and the attitude of the players.
✦ | |Zeta: This is the lowest class for those new to the game, experienced in creating a deck, but lacks the proper functions to run it in a effective match/tourny.
Four ranks get four Captains, just because their is a captain over a lower rank. Don't misjudge he or she is most likely better than you. They are just taking the position to fill it and have people rank up for the groups over all winning average. If the captain has a choice he or she can have a lieutenant to guide the rest when the leader of that group is not here. They get the same respect as a captain because they too yet again, are most likely better than you in this children's card game.
I too will have a co leader on the this group, now to join this club it's simple.
Tell me your user name, your interests, why did you join, fav card, best deck type, what do you want to learn, and what is it you crave in this game.
Joining reason:

So I picked up a copy of an old cookbook that I have from "Up North" (You, Minnesotans know what I'm talking about…). I started to check out the index as I have just picked up these delicious blueberries that Zoe is crazy about. I thought I would see what things I might make with them and since there were always blueberry-somethings around when I was a kid – I thought this "Up North" book would do the trick.
Ay. Ay. Ay. Seriously. AY.
I don't know if you've noticed, but it seems to me that cookbooks have certainly taken a turn for the better – as have the eating habits of most of the people I know. The cookbook I browsed has some great brunch recipes, but it is sadly lacking in any real fruit/vegetable entries. Those are mainly left to the canned, candied or pickled. The "Blueberry Salad" recipe that I spied in the index and thought "Mmmm.. that sounds good!" turned out to be a no-fruit jello + cream cheese + cool whip concoction that made me a tad…. well… ill. It rather grossed me out, to be honest. I thought at LEAST they could have thrown me a bone and whipped in some fresh blueberries in the end, right? RIGHT? Nope. None.
So, I gave up on the index. The recipe titles didn't seem to help me as much as the actual ingredients list.
I found the cookie section to be a blast from the past too. OH! The sugar! Oh, for the love of all things SUGAR! Man, happy memories!
Since we were headed to a friends' house for a BBQ and he is from the Midwest too, I thought I would make him a treat from his good old days too. So here is the "old school" recipe for this cookies. I made an updated, sugar-free, peanut-free cookie that roughly mimics these – only better – and I'll post that recipe later this week.
For now… enjoy the Old School version. Just don't tell your dentist where ya got the recipe, k? (And if I were making these all over again? I would cut the sugar back to 2/3 cup instead…. just a word of advice. LOL)
REMEMBER: To make this a gluten-free recipe, be sure to use all gluten free ingredients – including certified gluten-free oats.
This recipe is quick and easy to prepare. It took me all of 15 minutes to have the cookies on the counter cooling. Perfect for cooking with toddlers underfoot!
You can find a printable copy of this recipe here.
Gluten-Free, Old School, No Bake Nut Butter and Oat Cookies
Makes two dozen drop cookies
1 cup sugar
3 1/2 tablespoons butter
4 Tablespoons milk
1 1/2 cups gluten free rolled oats
1/3 cup nut butter (I used peanut butter in these)
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/3 cup crushed walnuts
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Put oats, nut butter, cinnamon and walnuts in a heat resistant medium bowl. Set aside.
- Put butter, milk and sugar into a small saucepan. Melt together over medium-high heat while stirring frequently to avoid burning the sugar. Once the ingredients are all melted, bring to a boil and allow to boil for one minute.
- Pour the boiling liquids over the oat mixture.
- Add the vanilla extract.
- Stir very well. Make sure all of the oats, etc have been coated evenly.
- Set aside for 5 minutes to allow to cool slightly.
- Drop by the tablespoon on to parchment paper and allow to cool completely. The cookies will dry and set within 30 minutes or so, depending on your house temperature.
- Store in an airtight container, or eat off the counter with reckless abandon for your dental health.
Happy Cookies!

The touchdown cut Texas A&M's lead to seven, so it wasn't the game-winner. That would come later. But Green said his first trip to the end zone this season was a big deal.
"It was amazing," Green said. "I wanted to cry in the end zone. I was just overwhelmed and really excited."
Green, less than six months removed from tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, made an early return during Arkansas' 42-38 win against Texas A&M. The senior wasn't simply a minor contributor in the win, either. He scored two touchdowns, including the game-winning 3-yard plunge with 1:41 remaining, and also added a game-clinching 10-yard run on 3rd-and-8 in the final minute.
It would have been unexpected production last April, when Arkansas considered Green lost for the season. But his return was certainly welcomed by teammates after the win.
"Broderick is a strong guy. He's competitive," Arkansas quarterback Tyler Wilson said. "I think his rehab process was a little faster than a lot of guys. It's unbelievable, really, when you look at the timetable.
"For him to get back and do that is incredible. I really didn't know what to expect, but I'm sure glad he's back."
Green's game, statistically, wasn't jaw-dropping. He rushed for 25 yards on 9 carries. But his work in the backfield, coupled with Dennis Johnson's best performance of the season, finally gave Arkansas' run game some teeth when it mattered.
Green and Johnson combined for 58 rushing yards in the fourth quarter to help the Razorbacks win. Both gained tough yards, too, providing a physical presence Arkansas was missing earlier this season with Green, Johnson and returning starter Knile Davis (broken ankle) all sidelined by injuries.
"It's always good to have Broderick back because he's experienced and he's a big man," Arkansas offensive coordinator Garrick McGee said. "He's 250 pounds and he's a really good athlete and he's really confident running the ball close to the goal line. When you've got a guy like that, he brings confidence to your whole team."
So how did Green do it? Arkansas trainer Matt Summers said the recovery timeline for an ACL injury can be as quick as six months and has worked with athletes who have done it.
So he never ruled out a 2011 return, presenting it as the "best-case scenario." Neither did Green, who said dealing with the first knee injury of his career (and just his second injury ever) was challenging. But Summers said Green's determination through the process made his comeback possible.
"He had zero bad days and that really took him a long way," said Summers, who also noted Green's natural strength played a factor as well. "Normally you don't get that. That's why he was so successful. He came in and worked hard every day and it was all progress. We had no regression with him at all."
Summers said Arkansas remained cautious with Green through the rehab process, though, refusing to rush him back on the field even though his daily improvement was evident.
Green said he first felt like he might make it back to the field around the time of Arkansas' season opener. He began non-contact work in practice a little later, then the workload began to include contact drills last week.
"He practiced hard. He ran hard," Summers said. "And even with guys in practice going to the ground around him, it was one of those things where he didn't blink. A lot of times you see guys you work back into practice, but they're just hesitant and he never was that way. He just kind of kept moving forward and when he kept moving forward we got into a situation where he kept coming to me and he said, 'Matt, I'm ready.' I said, 'Well, you look great. Let's think about it and kind of talk through everything.' That's what we did."
So Green then had a decision to make. He could remain patient, sit out the season and petition the NCAA for a sixth year of eligibility to play in 2012. Or he could try to play this fall even though a good portion of the season is done.
Green weighed the options with family. He had a long talk with his brother, Greg Wesley, who played in the NFL and had experience playing with injuries. Ultimately, Green said his decision to return this season proved to be an easy one.
"I felt good. I didn't have any more pain. I didn't have any more swelling," Green said. "I know we were struggling in the backfield and I felt I could help my team by coming back this year. It's my senior year. It's an important year.
"I've been playing for five years. I put in so much time and I wanted to come back and contribute."
The result Saturday was well worth the work. Green said after the game he couldn't "describe the feeling" of getting back in the huddle. Or of scoring the go-ahead touchdown.
He was still smiling about it Tuesday, when the Razorbacks began preparation for Auburn. But Green said he's not planning to rest on it. The clock now is ticking on his final season, so he plans to make the most of his remaining days.
"I'm willing to do whatever it takes," Green said of his return. "I just want to be out there and help my team."

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. (AP) — Jeremy Jones is one of the top snowboarders in the world. He's powered his career to new levels without the use of helicopters or snowmobiles in some of the gnarliest terrain on earth.
And come Jan. 16, the Truckee-based Jones might also become National Geographic's Adventurer of the Year.
For the past eight years, National Geographic has picked a cadre of adventurers to vie for the exclusive title of People's Choice Adventurer of the Year. The company selects contestants based on their achievements in exploration, conservation, humanitarianism and adventure sports.
Jones, 37, joins adventure innovators like supersonic BASE jumper Felix Baumgartner, paraplegic skier Josh Dueck and Austrian climber David Lama this year, the Tahoe Daily Tribune reported (http://bit.ly/S5R8Vd ).
"I was very honored. I grew up with the magazine, my family always had a subscription. It was really my first window into adventure," Jones said.
He recently finished work on his latest Teton Gravity Research film, "Further." Jones and his crew explored mountain ranges in Japan, Austria, Norway and Alaska on splitboards — a backcountry snowboard that splits into two ski-like parts that can be used to climb slopes with skins.
Human-powered exploration allows athletes and film crews to access ground that would be off-limits to snowmobiles, but it also means enduring pain-inducing ascents and harsh conditions in remote terrain, Markleeville-based cinematographer Chris Edmands said.
It's not easy to find a film crew that will lug pounds of equipment through the backcountry for days or weeks at a time, but Edmands and his Leeward Cinema team relished the adventure.
"It's a challenge. My whole life I've gotten bored really quickly with things I've done. Maybe they're just too easy," Edmands said. "It's fun to get scared and it's fun to push yourself."
Edmands met Jones in 2007 when the cinematographer was shooting his human-powered snowboard film, "My Own Two Feet." Edmands wanted to abandon chairlifts, helicopters and snowmobiles to make a movie that featured professional athletes beyond the confines of traditional snowboard projects.
The next year, Edmands and Jones partnered for the film, "Deeper," the first installment in the Teton Gravity Research-produced Jeremy Jones trilogy "Deeper," ''Further" and "Higher." Human-powered exploration remained the core philosophy, Edmands said.
Jones hasn't limited that philosophy to his snowboarding endeavors. He founded the environmental-protection nonprofit Protect Our Winters in 2007 because he'd witnessed firsthand the impact of climate change on mountain ranges around the world and he wanted to mobilize the winter sports community.
"I'd seen definite change in the mountains and I felt that we really needed to step up our efforts to protect them from climate change," Jones said.
Riding remote terrain without the aid of machines aligned closely with those efforts, and Jones and Edmands once again hit the slopes last winter to shoot "Further."
"I'd seen him snowboard in videos for years, but working with him, he's an incredible athlete and it's really easy to film him. There aren't many instances where you have to reshoot because he messes up," Edmands said.
Edmands said they have not started laying down definitive plans for the making of the last movie, "Higher." Jones said he'd still like to make the final film in the series, but his current plans leave him closer to home.
"My immediate goal is to get out and spend a bunch of time in the Sierra, my home," Jones said. "The Sierra continue to blow me away, and it's why I've continued to live in Truckee when I could live anywhere in the world. I didn't get my full Sierra fix last year."

Lobe-Finned Fish Supplies Surprises
by Brian Thomas, M.S. *
It was once the banner fossil behind the idea that land-walking creatures emerged from fish with overgrown fins. The lobe-finned fish was found in strata deemed 400 million years old—close to the time when land creatures supposedly evolved—making a tidy evolutionary story. But that didn't last long. Marjorie Courtenay-Latimer became famous for finding the live creature on a small fishing boat in 1938. A new survey of the critically endangered fish's genes shows that they are not finished divulging surprises.
A team led by German researchers from Ruhr-University Bochum published the first genetic population survey of these storied fishes in the journal Current Biology.1 They analyzed DNA sequences from 71 adult coelacanth fish.
The team analyzed the most variable region of the mitochondrial chromosome, the "d-loop." After 400 million years, different fish populations should show significant differences, but only 8 of 726 ceolacanth d-loop base pairs showed variation. Such a low number of differences is easily explained if coelacanth are only thousands of years old.
The study authors wrote in Current Biology, "Either the evolutionary rate in Latimeria chalumnae [coelacanth] is extremely slow or haplotypes may have diverged rather recently after the species went through a bottleneck."2 To have only produced 8 out of 726 base pairs in mitochondrial DNA's most highly variable region after 400 million supposed years would be a rate so "extremely slow" that it defies credibility.
On the other hand, recent species divergence fits the genetic data. But it also fits the creation model, wherein coelacanth fish were created only thousands of years ago. Some died and were buried in Noah's Flood to later become world famous fossils, and a few others survived through the Flood to eventually produce today's populations.
As if still-living coelacanths were not enough of a blow to evolutionary dogma, its genetics now also confirm biblical creation.

LAWRENCE, Kan. – Mitch Meyer drove in a career-high three runs and Kansas State pieced together solid pitching performances as the Wildcats completed the season sweep of Kansas with a 7-3 triumph Sunday in the Dillons Sunflower Showdown at Hoglund Ballpark.
The victory improved K-State to 37-15 on the year and 14-7 in Big 12 play. The 37 overall wins are tied for the second most in school history, while the Wildcats tied the 2009 squad's school record for the most conference victories. In addition, the Wildcats have now won eight of their last nine road games and swept the Sunflower Showdown for the fourth time in the last seven years.
Kansas State also saw its lead in the Big 12 race grow to two games as West Virginia lost its rubber match against TCU to drop to 12-9, tying Oklahoma for second place.
The Jayhawks, who held a 17-3 home record entering the series, fell to 31-21 overall and finished Big 12 play at 12-12. KU concludes the regular season next weekend at Utah.
Meyer, who homered in each of the first two games against KU, hit a two-out, two-run triple in the third inning to put the Wildcats on top, 4-1. Meyer's triple was a looping line drive that fell in right field and bounced over the head of Dakota Smith. Meyer tried to circle the bases for an inside-the-park home run but was thrown out at home to end the inning.
The Stilwell, Kan., product also hit a RBI single to left field in the fifth inning, extending the K-State lead to 5-1. Ross Kivett led the Wildcats with three hits and two runs, while Austin Fisher registered a pair of hits, including a RBI single as part of a two-run ninth inning. Fisher extended his career-long hitting streak to 17 games, which is tied for the ninth-longest in school history and is the longest since Nick Martini and Adam Muenster held streaks of 26 and 25 games, respectively, in 2010.
Blake McFadden (5-2) earned the win with five solid innings, allowing only two runs despite walking three batters. The right-hander gave up a run in the first on a Jordan Dreiling double, but he forced the Jayhawks to strand two runners in scoring position. The other run McFadden surrendered came in the sixth when he allowed a leadoff single that eventually came around to score after he had already exited the game to a standing ovation by a large K-State contingent.
"We did it a different way today," head coach Brad Hill said. "Blake came back after a shaky first inning and he was really solid for us. He just gutted through it, just like our other pitchers. They gave us what they had. We had to piece together our pitchers. We didn't want to have to do that, but we did and found a way to get it done."
Kansas State was stuck at five runs and had no answer for Kansas right-hander Tanner Poppe in the sixth, seventh and eighth innings as the Wildcats were sat down in order during that time. The pitching by Poppe gave KU momentum, and the Jayhawk offense got back into the game with a pair of runs in the sixth inning.
With two one and two out in the sixth, K-State went to Gerardo Esquivel, who delivered with a strikeout of Tucker Tharp to strand two runners. Esquivel worked into the seventh inning when he faced runners at the corners with two outs, but Jake Matthys came on to induce a ground out to keep the Jayhawks on the board. Matthys went on to work a perfect eighth inning.
The Wildcats got to Poppe in the ninth inning when Kivett hit a leadoff single and was sacrificed to second base. Shane Conlon was next and drew a walk before a passed ball moved both runners into scoring position.
Battling to drive a ball into the outfield, Jared King hit the seventh pitch he saw into shallow left field for his second of two sacrifice flies as Kivett narrowly beat the throw for a much-needed insurance run. The Wildcats tacked on one more when Fisher also hit the seventh pitch of his at-bat through the left side to give the Cats a four-run lead.
"Those two runs in the ninth were huge," Hill said. "Ross had a great leadoff hit and gave us momentum. He tagged at third on a gutty play but beat the throw before Fisher finished it off with the base hit."
The add-on runs looked to be much needed when Kansas loaded the bases against Tanner Witt with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, but the right-hander forced Dreiling to fly out to complete the sweep.
Kansas starting pitcher Frank Duncan (3-5) was saddled with the loss after allowing four runs on three hits with four walks and three strikeouts in three innings. KU was led offensively by Kevin Kuntz, who went 2-for-4.
Kansas State closes out the regular season at Tointon Family Stadium next weekend with a three-game series against Oklahoma. The series opens with a pair of 6:30 p.m., contests on Friday and Saturday, while the finale is scheduled for 1 p.m., on Sunday. Friday is "Mustache Night" as the first 1,000 fans in Tointon Family Stadium will receive a free mustache. Saturday is Senior Night as K-State will recognize its four seniors, Witt, Jon Davis, Jake Doller and Joe Flattery.
General admission bench tickets are available for only $3 on both Friday and Saturday when presenting a graduation program. Sunday is a Family Day with Wildcat 4 Packs available for $30 which includes four general admission bench tickets and four concession vouchers. In addition, all kids in attendance can run the bases after the game.
Tickets are available online at www.k-statesports.com/tickets, by phone at 1-800-221-CATS or in person at the main K-State Athletics ticket office inside Bramlage Coliseum. Fans can also purchase tickets at the Tointon Family Stadium box office beginning one hour prior to first pitch each day.
Friday's game will be shown statewide on Cox Communications' Kansas 22 and in the Kansas City area on MetroSports. The final two games of the series will be broadcast nationally by K-StateHD.TV on Fox College Sports. Radio coverage from the K-State Sports Network will carry the series opener, while the final two games can be heard in the Manhattan area on SportsRadio 1350 KMAN. Live audio from all three games can be heard online for free at www.k-statesports.com and www.1350kman.com.

"And then I feel bad because where are we going to live?" she said, referring to her son and daughter.
The mother, who will be referred to as Dolores for purposes of anonymity, lives in Section 8 housing, a federal housing-assistance program that provides vouchers for low-income families, the elderly and disabled. She is one of many Santa Clara County residents who felt the blow of federal sequester cuts that slashed $21 million from the Housing Authority of the County of Santa Clara's Section 8 funding in March. The housing authority, which provides affordable housing for more than 16,500 households through the federal Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program, came up with $6 million, leaving a remaining $15 million gap to cover.
Faced with the choice of raising rents or putting up to 1,000 residents out of a home, the county agency chose the former, implementing rent hikes and other cost-saving changes to the housing program.
As of Sept. 1, Section 8 residents are required to pay 35 percent of their gross monthly income towards rent, up from an average of approximately 27 percent, according to the county housing authority. Certain allowances that had previously been taken into account when calculating a resident's rent, such as utilities and deductions for expenses like child care or health insurance, were eliminated.
The county housing authority also changed its voucher policy, adopting the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's minimum standard for how many bedrooms a Section 8 family can qualify for. Previously, a three-person family qualified for a three-bedroom unit. As of Sept. 1, the head of the household (including spouse or partner) receives one room, plus one additional room for every two people, regardless of age or gender.
Georgina Mascarenhas, director of property management for the Palo Alto Housing Authority, said she believes "the greatest impact is to residents who the housing authority has determined actually qualify for a smaller unit size."
Dolores is one of those residents. Her options were minimal: Relocate, pay the different between the two rents or transfer to a smaller unit, provided there was one available (the Palo Alto Housing Corporation has long wait lists for all unit sizes, enough applicants to fill vacancies for the next five to seven years, Mascarenhas said, and waiting lists for Section 8 sites only open every five to seven years).
Relocating is especially problematic for families with children who are in local schools, Mascarenhas said.
Both of Dolores' children attend high school in Palo Alto.
Candice Gonzalez, the Palo Alto Housing Corporation's executive director, said that residents forced to move also might try to find housing at specific low-income housing complexes, which have been funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). That option is in contrast to using a housing voucher that can be transferable from apartment to apartment.
With so-called "project-based" housing complexes, residents are only entitled to the assistance while they live at the specific property; the subsidy remains with that property and is provided to residents who live there, Mascarenhas explained. Residents using housing vouchers would have to give them up in order to live in a project-complex.
"This definitely displays the need for project-based subsidy affordable housing in Palo Alto," Gonzalez said.
Dolores and her children were lucky; a resident living in a two-bedroom unit had recently given notice to vacate, so Dolores' request to transfer to the smaller unit with cheaper rent was quickly approved.
She's now paying $134 per month and gave her son and daughter the bedrooms. She said she either sleeps on a mattress in a small living area — propped against a wall during the day — or with her daughter.
Currently unemployed due to the need to care for her daughter, who has ongoing medical problems, her only source of income is child support, so Dolores applied for financial assistance from InnVision Shelter Network, a Bay Area organization that provides housing services and support, and other organizations that offer one-time emergency assistance funds to help cover the unpaid balance from her previous unit. She met with a job coach this week with the goal of finding a job.
If the two-bedroom unit hadn't opened up, what would she have done?
"I don't want to think about it because I don't know," she said.
There are 291 residents in Palo Alto Housing Corporation units receiving Section 8 housing vouchers, 39 of which were affected by the federal sequester-induced cuts made this spring, Mascarenhas said. Rent hikes ranged from $6, the lowest, to $877.
Nancy Medina, who lives alone in a studio in the Palo Alto Housing Corporation's Tree House Apartments on West Charleston Road, is toward the lower end of that range. Her rent, which was $26 when she moved in two years ago, went up $30 on Sept. 1.
"It did go up at the time I wasn't working, so either way, it would have been a lot for me," she said. "But now I have a job at least to keep me going and help out with PG&E, rent, telephone — which is important.
"It's a blessing," she said of her Tree House studio. "It has been really a blessing for me."
Medina is able to get to her job as a caregiver in Hillsborough thanks to a Tree House Apartment program, which provides residents a free transportation pass from the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority.
"Every little bit counts," Medina said. "It really does. I'm just grateful that I'm able to go from point A to point B for work in order to continue paying for my rent or whatever that's needed in the home."
Federal budget cuts were felt county-wide, with about half (1,125 out of 2,670 units) of 30 developments owned by the county housing authority occupied by Section 8 tenants, said Alex Sanchez, the authority's executive director.
However, only 3.6 percent of county residents couldn't pay their September rent on time — 97 households out of the 2,670 total units, according to the county agency. Twelve of those notices were sent to Section 8 voucher holders, less than 1.1 percent of all properties. As of Oct. 8, six remaining Section 8 households had yet to pay rent.
Sanchez said he has been "surprised" by Congress' lack of consensus on a federal program that has had bipartisan support for years.
"It is a major shift," he said. "I think it's not necessarily going in the right direction."
In anticipation of more residents not being able to afford higher rent, the Housing Authority of the County of Santa Clara is in the process of establishing the Sequester Eviction Prevention Program, which would provide emergency financial assistance to households facing eviction as a result of the Section 8 funding cuts. The program is currently in the fundraising phase; the authority itself has contributed $500,000; the County of Santa Clara, $1 million; the City of San Jose, $250,000; and Finally Home (a pool for Sunnyvale and City of Santa Clara funds), $70,000.
Dolores and Medina repeatedly stressed their appreciation for affordable housing in costly Palo Alto. Both said they love the area: It's safe; they like their neighborhoods; there are good schools.
"I want to tell you, this program for housing, I think it's wonderful for everybody that really needs it," Dolores said. "It's helping me to help my family. I bless God for it because ... for a single mother, it's very hard to pay rent."

The hub of water transportation in Seattle, known as the Puget Sound, is now producing less air pollution than ever. The Seattle Times reports that five years ago, scientists discovered that approximately one-third of the air pollution around the metro area was linked to bay traffic from tugs, ferry boats, oceangoing vessels, trucks, trains and forklifts all operating out of the Puget Sound.
Now, thanks to the regulations put in place by city officials and state and federal government, air quality has improved in the greater Seattle area.
"Federal regulations have helped, but we set goals to go way beyond that and we are," Stephanie Jones Stebbins, director of seaport environmental planning at the Port of Seattle, told the news source.
Toxic exhaust levels from heavy trucks is down more than 50 percent, exhaust from trains is down 25 percent and pollution levels from oceangoing ships is down 16 percent, according to the news source.
Decreases in air pollution levels will improve the quality of life of locals. However, with the amount of traffic coming through the Puget Sound, there is no current way to completely eradicate air pollution. By purchasing a home air purifier a Seattle resident can protect himself or herself from the damaging effects of air pollution.

Want to unleash the incredible potential of your Land Rover? Then arm yourself with these off road tips and pull off the well-trodden tarmac…
In rainforests, deserts, and other places no ordinary vehicle could reach, you will find all-terrain vehicles. The moment you venture off the tarmac is the moment you realise the incredible potential of your Land Rover or Range Rover. This guide is designed to make sure you get the most out of your off-road adventures.
Knowing your vehicle inside out
- Before you venture off-road, it's worth ensuring that you have a good mental picture of the underside of your vehicle.
- Check the position of fragile parts such as the fuel tank, engine sump, differentials, and gearbox – so you're less likely to snag them on rocks, tree stumps, and other obstacles.
- Check the roof rack and consider it as you drive under low tree branches.
- Read the owner's manual and discover the purpose of all the on-board technology and features.
Expert tips for off-road driving
- As long as it is safe to do so, test the surface by walking over the ground before you drive over it.
- Before ascending a hill, ensure you know what's over the crest.
- Always walk your water obstacle wearing wellington boots and carrying a stick for checking silt and underwater hollows. Better to get your feet wet than your vehicle stuck.
- Never hook your thumbs inside the steering wheel, as any kickback from the terrain could sprain or even break them.
The Golden Rules of off-road driving
- Drive as slowly as possible and as fast as necessary.
- Know your vehicle's dimensions – height, weight, width, length, approach and departure angle, ramp angle, and ground clearance.
- Know the international hand signals for marshalling.
- Avoid gear changes while negotiating difficult terrain.
- Always read the ground as far ahead as you can. If it is safe to do so, walk the ground before you drive.
- Use great care when driving on loose or wet surfaces due to the reduced level of grip.
- Be prepared to admit defeat. Back off and try again, or try an alternative route.
- Avoid excessive wheelspin at all times but especially on soft ground where the vehicle can easily lose momentum and even cause environmental damage.
- Use a gentle right throttle foot.
- Always keep both hands on the wheel, even when reversing.
- Always tell someone where you're going, what route you plan to follow, and when you expect to return.
Essential kit for off-roading
Land Rover fleece
For any off-road adventure, it's essential that you know your vehicle inside out (see Overview) and pack the essentials in your Land Rover before heading out.
Check list:
- Tow rope
- Shovel
- 2-way radio
- Suitable, climate-appropriate clothing
- Correct footwear
- GPS navigation and maps
- Food and water
- Extra fuel
Driving technique
The basics
To drive effectively over rough terrain, a degree of smoothness is required.
Make sure the throttle is applied smoothly and released slowly. This keeps the tyres from spinning on acceleration or deceleration.
Keep steering precise and braking to a minimum.
The driver always controls the vehicle; the vehicle should never control the driver.
How to overcome obstacles
- Try walking the ground before you actually drive on it.
- Approach ridges straight on.
- Approach a log, rocky step or ditch diagonally so that three wheels always retain contact with the ground.
- Make sure tyres are fully inflated to road pressures for rocky ground.
- Straddle deep ruts with your vehicle. This will keep the vehicle level, reducing environmental impact.
How to return to the road
- Disengage diff-lock, if applied.
- Stop and check for any minor damage.
- Check for cuts in tyres including inside the walls.
- Check for body damage that will rub against tyres.
- Check for debris lodged in the underside of the vehicle and in the tyres.
- Check that lights, windows, and mirrors are clear.
- Check that number plates can still be read.
- Check that all equipment is secure.
When a deeply rutted track takes over the steering
As you drive along a deeply rutted track, take special care if the ruts are cut into slippery ground. Indeed, you may be unaware that the wheels are not pointed straight ahead until grip becomes available and the vehicle suddenly veers to one side. (Vehicles such as The Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and Discovery 4 have a wheel direction indicator to help you in situations such as this.)
Unless you are going downhill, the best way to avoid having your wheels 'locked' by a rutted track is to relax your grip on the steering wheel occasionally, while keeping a frictional grip with your palms. This will allow the wheels to regain the straight-ahead position. The tyres may not be able to grip the slippery sides of the rut and you will be unable to turn the steering wheel to the left or right.
Mud and sand
Range Rover, Discovery 4, and Range Rover Sport have a unique Terrain Response® system that can be set for different driving conditions: rock crawl, mud and ruts, sand, grass/gravel/snow or road.
Terrain Response® is a groundbreaking feature that should be used in conjunction with proactive driving techniques. Here are some additional tips for off-road driving in mud and sand.
The basics:
- Use steady momentum to carry you through deep sand or mud.
- Do not select a gear that is too low in mud because it will spin tyres more easily.
- However, in sand a low gear is usually better.
- If muddy conditions force you to drive in ruts, make sure you know where your front wheels are pointing at all times.
- Tyres can cut through mud to find traction on firmer ground below.
Sand is firmest at dawn.
- If you have to sit out a sandstorm, turn the rear of the vehicle to face the wind, and then turn the engine off.
- Follow the tyre and Land Rover's advice on tyre pressure.
- However, where the sand is soft and contains stones, a low pressure works better.
- When the wheels start to spin, ease off the throttle and allow the tyres to slow down and regain traction.
- Remember: Before setting out on your adventure, always make sure you and your passengers are wearing climate-suitable clothing.
Sand: The fine detail
- The geology of desert. Sand covers only about 20 per cent of the Earth's deserts. Most of the sand is in sand sheets and sand seas – vast regions of undulating dunes like ocean waves 'frozen' in an instant of time.
- Beaches. Usually firm enough to take a vehicle between high tide mark and four metres from the sea. Beware of incoming tide.
- Damp sand. Damp desert sand after rain can be easier to drive on. Often, flowers blooming overnight will help bind sand together.
- Firm sand. Stretches of desert where you can travel in relatively high range.
- Dry sand. A surface crust that's stronger in the cool of the morning.
- Wet sand. Keep off. It can contain areas of 'floating' sand or quicksand.
- Sand dunes. Avoid climbing over dunes, go round them.
- Land Rover tyres with snow chains
- Range Rover, Discovery 4, and Range Rover Sport have a unique Terrain Response® system that can be set for different driving conditions: rock crawl, mud and ruts, sand, grass/gravel/snow or road.
- Terrain Response® is a groundbreaking feature that should be used in conjunction with proactive driving techniques. Here are some additional tips for off-road driving in snow.
Before you drive in snow:
- Check which snow chains we recommend for your Land Rover and whether they can be safely fitted to the tyres on your vehicle.
- Inspect regularly to ensure the chains are taut.
- Practice fitting snow chains before you actually need them, preferably on a sunny day.
- Remember: Before setting out on your adventure, always make sure you and your passengers are wearing climate-suitable clothing.
- The basics for driving in snow:
- Use steady momentum to carry you through deep snow.
- Do not select a gear that is too low in snow as it will spin tyres more easily.
- Follow the tyre and vehicle manufacturer's advice on tyre pressure.
- When the wheels start to spin, ease off the throttle and allow the tyres to slow down and regain traction.
- Select the highest gear possible for the conditions.
How to climb hills
- Wherever possible, investigate the area on foot. Always know what's on the other side of the hill.
- Engage Hill Descent Control (HDC) if available.
- Ascend a hill in the highest gear in which the vehicle will 'pull' comfortably. If the gear selected is too low, the wheels will spin. If too high, you will not have enough power to climb the hill.
- Always approach the hill from a straight-ahead position, rather than diagonally, to avoid a roll-over.
- Never attempt to turn the vehicle on a steep slope.
- Be prepared for a failed climb. It happens to the best drivers. Work out an escape route and know where all the obstacles are.
How to descend hills
- Stop a vehicle length before the descent so that you have time to make any corrections.
- You can also get out of the vehicle and assess the land ahead.
- Engage HDC, if available.
- As a rule of thumb, use 1st gear low range or '1' on the automatic gearbox and use brakes sparingly.
- Follow the natural fall line; the route water would take down the slope.
- Never roll or reverse downhill with the transmission in neutral or the clutch depressed.
- Never turn the vehicle on a steep slope. This could lead to sideways sliding.
- If you do need to stop on the way down ask yourself one question: is it safe?
Crossing water
Off-road driving though water
Tips for crossing water:
- Whenever possible, cross water at a ford.
- As long as it is safe to do so, walk the stream before you try it in a vehicle. Use a stick to gauge depth and pinpoint underwater hollows.
- Do not cross deep fast-flowing streams.
- In deep waves create a small bow wave about one metre in front of the bumper.
- Do not slip the clutch as this reduces control of the vehicle.
- Ease off the accelerator as you approach the other side of the water.
- If there's a steep slope, take a look at our guide on driving up and down slopes (see Hills).
How to create the perfect bow wave
- Accelerate as you enter the water until a bow wave has formed.
- Try to keep it about one metre in front of the bumper to keep water away from the fan electronics.
- Maintain a speed that keeps the bow wave flowing in front of the bumper.
- Remember, the aim is to create a gentle wave, not a surfing wave!

The American Dialect Society has voted "occupy" as the Word of the Year for 2011, which is the year you're still writing on your checks.
The word refers to the national Occupy Wall Street protest movement, and not the five nasty feral cats living under your porch, which is a shame, because we know that nasty feral cats are a nasty problem that afflicts everyone, as proved by the massive research conducted by this space, which consisted of looking out the window of a Life Editor's home.
Anyway, the society -- which humblebragged about its "record attendance" vote -- also picked "humblebrag," described as an "expression of false humility," as another contender for the honor, which is a most-prestigious press release.
It's a great honor, because the society is comprised of linguists, lemmings, lexicographers, feral cats, etymologists, elephants, grammarians, ghosts, historians, researchers, little ponies, writers, authors, gnomes, editors, vampires, professors, university students, Jedis and independent scholars, although we just made some of those up.
As if there was such a thing as "editors."
Another finalist in the Word of the Year list included "FOMO," which stands for "Fear of Missing Out" or "anxiety over being inundated by information on social media" or "almost insulting acronym."
Another finalist was "99%" to describe those who don't know what "FOMO" means and those at a "financial or political disadvantage" to the other most innumerable, unknown percentage of people at the top (we're not good at fuzzy math).
Also picked was "job creator," something that happened a long, long time ago.
Theses dudes and Mellencamps also ranked words in the Most Creative category, which included "Mellencamp" -- "a woman who has aged out of being a 'cougar' (after John Cougar Mellencamp)"; "kardash," to describe a "unit of measurement consisting of 72 days, after the short-lived marriage" of some famous person named Kim who is not the ruler of North Korea; and "put a bird on it," which is "to add artistic flair to something," usually ironically.
Put a bird on it, hipsters.
The winner in the Most-Unnecessary category was "bi-winning," which bi-won by two kardashians and 12 votes.
The Most Outrageous category winner is actually most outrageous and cannot be published here. Bunch of #$$%&^#*$.
Least Likely to Succeed was "brony" -- a word that� describes an adult male fan of the "My Little Pony" cartoon. The category describes their chances in life.
We would like to continue this enlightening discussion, but "My Little Pony" will start in two kardashians, and we have a FOMO.

I have recently upgraded to version 120_104 from 110_780 in my Windows XP.
Every time I close down my computer I get a message about VSMON:
The Instruction @ 0x761a575 referenced memory @ 0x04bbecd8 the memory location could not be read.
I have run memory tests that show no troubles.
I uninstalled V12... and went back to V11..780 and I do not get this problem.
I am been having other problem with my computer but I would like to know if anyone has encountered such a problem or if anything is known about it.

England in the great wave of migration following the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Spelham family lived in Norfolk.
Spelham Early Origins

Spelham Spelling Variations
Spelham Spelling Variations
Endless spelling variations are a prevailing characteristic of Norman surnames. Old and Middle English lacked any definite spelling rules, and the introduction of Norman French added an unfamiliar ingredient to the English linguistic stew. French and Latin, the languages of the court, also influenced spellings. Finally, Medieval scribes generally spelled words according to how they sounded, so one person was often referred to by different spellings in different documents. The name has been spelled Speelman, Spellman, Spelman, Spilman, Spillman, Spillane, O'Spillane, Spilane, Spallon and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
To escape the political and religious persecution within England at the time, many English families left for the various British colonies abroad. The voyage was extremely difficult, though, and the cramped, dank ships caused many to arrive in the New World diseased and starving. But for those who made it, the trip was most often worth it. Many of the families who arrived went on to make valuable contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families reveals a number of immigrants bearing the name Spelham or a variant listed above: James, John, Michael, Robert, Spellman who all settled in Philadelphia between 1844 to 1851; Elizabeth Spillane settled in Pennsylvania in 1773; Ellen and Joan Spillane settled in Boston Massachusetts in 1847 and 1849 respectively.

Discussion in 'Doctor Who' started by Allyn Gibson, Apr 19, 2011.
May she rest in peace.
As if we needed any proof of how much she was loved, both "Elisabeth Sladen" and "Sarah Jane Smith" have been trending on twitter for some time.
Woke up to the news over here. Utterly shocked and saddened by this terrible news. Can't believe it. She was a wonderful lady, too young to go now. I don't think I am overstating it when I say she was one of Science Fiction's greatest characters.
i would think, if anything the S4 and 5 episode will be shown and that's your lot. i doubt the BBC would be so crass as to try casting a new actress as SJS or try replacing her with another ex companion.
I saw this on Twitter earlier today. I saw her name and all I could think was "I hope there is more than one Elisabeth Sladen" I clicked on her name thinking the worst but hoping the best. Unfortunately my worst fears were confirmed. It was an utter shock because none of us knew about her illness. Her life and her work will always be remembered.
I saw the news in the paper on the train this morning and got really choked up, very sad for her family.
TBH, Clyde could carry the show easily - they should carry on in some form, but not replace her. A bit like how Taggart continued with the sidekicks taking centre stage after Mark McManus died.
If it was up to me, I'd show the three completed stories and have novelisations of the other three - with scripts appended as PDFs on the DVD release.
I can't believe this.
I'm genuinely shocked and upset. Sarah Jane was always my favourite companion, and Elisabeth Sladen's wonderful portrayal was a huge part of the character's appeal.
What dreadful news. RIP.
I'm not one to be obsessed with celebrity culture so I was surprised how upset I was when I heard the news. I don't often cry during news bulletins! Sarah Jane was a great character, voted most favourite assistant consistently for decades (she's always been my number one) and I was so pleased that somebody had the common sense to bring her character back. My thoughts go out to her friends and family.
I think everybody knows she was my favourite. And it's more of a shock than Nick Courtney because he was a lot older and had a few near misses over the last couple of years...
My wife grew up wanting to *be* SJS - she's a role-model, you see, and we just cremated her dad last week, so it's even worse for her...
Oh geez. That stupid little GIF made me cry and I hadn't all day.
Talk about a double whammy
I agree by the way that Clyde and Rani could carry the show, if the BBC wanted to go that route. I'm torn--on the one hand it'll seem so odd without her, but it'd be a shame if along with losing Sarah Jane we never saw Clyde, Rani or Luke again.
Anyone have a link to the BBC report featuring the comments by RTD?
I'm trying to find out more about what is actually being said by people who knew her not commentaries by people writing about her death.
Edit: Found one already (less than a minute after I posted this) but I think there's another one people are referring too.
Here's a nice gallery of pictures, many I haven't seen before, from throughout her Who career.
Finally found the full telephone interview w/ RTD.
Maybe Luke, Clyde, and Rani could turn up on Doctor Who sometime. As good as they are, I'm not sure they could carry the show by themselves. I really hope they don't try and continue the show with Jo Grant; it's not that I don't like the character, but it just wouldn't be the same.
Yeah I wouldn't want Jo back if I'm honest. I actually don't think you'd need to introduce anyone new, heck have Rani's dad become aware of the alien threat malarky and become the adult member of the team, that would introduce an interesting new dynamic between him and Clyde and I'm sure the idea of a kid bossing the headmaster around would please much of the show's viewership.
This is all academic though, what'll be will be, I think at the moment we should just be mourning Lis.
I think that they should just let it end. No other ex-companions turning up, no sidekicks taking centre stage. Lis is gone, and she was the show.
Separate names with a comma.

September 2010 –IUCN´s Spanish National Committee, with the collaboration of Fundación Biodiversidad and Obra Social Caja Madrid, have launched the project "International Year of Biological Diversity", an initiative within the framework of the United Nations International Year of Biodiversity (IYB). The project aims to raise awareness of biological diversity, and its loss, through environmental education. Volunteers will be asked to get involved in the fight against biodiversity loss.
The Spanish National Committee will coordinate the actions of its members including:
• the Spanish society of plant biology and conservation, whose director is chair of the Spanish Commission of Plants (SSC) in Valencia,
• Aula del Mar in Málaga,
• The CRAM Foundation in Barcelona, and
• Mediterrania-CIE in Tarragona.
Each Member collaborating in this initiative will organize a closing ceremony for the IYB in December, at which they will explain the results of their different projects.
The Spanish society of plant biology and conservation with the help of the Spanish Commission of Plants will train 175 people in the detection of protected plant populations and will organize several censuses of endangered species nationwide. Besides the sampling of these species, more information can be found on their web site www.conservacionvegetal.org, so everyone can share their experiences and therefore contribute to the conservation and better knowledge of plants.
The Spanish NGO Aula del Mar, will carry out a volunteering program to help clean the south-western coast of Spain of a number of invasive species plant species. Some 300 volunteers will collaborate and also help with the reforestation of native coastal plants.
Meanwhile the CRAM Foundation and their 255 volunteers will dive to work for a cleaner sea floor in Catalonia. Lost fish lines, rubbish and other garbage will then be displayed in a "swimming pool of waste". Non-divers and disadvantaged groups will also be able to collaborate by helping to clean the shorelines and participating in educational activities.
Amphibians are in serious trouble, massive extinction is occurring worldwide, and they are the most threatened group of species. Nearly a third of all amphibians are in danger of extinction. Mediterrania-CIE will work with a small but selected group of volunteers (24) to restore some of the breeding habitats for these animals in Tarragona.
Obra Social Caja Madrid will contribute to the conservation of Gypaetus barbatus, the bearded vulture, in the Pyrenees and Picos de Europa. The Foundation for the Conservation of Bearded Vultures, based in Aragón (north of Spain) has organized 2 work camps with 12 people each (under and post-graduates) that will work on preparations for the reintroduction of this emblematic species in Picos de Europa. Besides this, they will continue with the supplementary feeding programme in the Pyrenees which started last year in the frame of the Spanish Countdown 2010 initiative.

(17 quotes found)
"Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
"We should not fret for what is past, nor should we be anxious about the future; men of discernment deal only with the present moment."
"Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more."
"Nothing so fretful, so despicable as a Scribbler, see what I am, and what a parcel of Scoundrels I have brought about my ears, and what language I have been obliged to treat them with to deal with them in their own way; / all this comes of Authorship."
""The Lesson":
Yes, my fretting,
Frowning child,
I could cross
The room to you
More easily.
But I've already
Learned to walk,
So I make you
Come to me.
Let go now—
You see?
Oh, remember
This simple lesson,
And when
In later years
You cry out
With tight fists
And tears—
"Oh, help me,
Just listen
And you'll hear
A silent voice:
I would, child,
I would.
But it's you,
Not I,
