London: Arsene Wenger singled-out two-goal Alexis Sanchez for praise after Arsenal avoided their worst-ever start to a season under their French manager with a comfortable 2-0 victory at Sunderland.
Chile international Sanchez, a £30 million ($50.4 million, 37.6 million euros) pre-season signing from Barcelona, took his tally to eight goals in 15 appearances for the Gunners.
Victory saw Arsenal secure just a second win in their last eight league games but meant they recorded back-to-back wins in the space of three days after a 2-1 Champions League success away to Anderlecht.
Failure to secure a fourth consecutive victory at the Stadium of Light would have condemned Arsenal to their lowest points tally after the opening nine games of a league campaign during Wenger`s 18-year reign.
But they were propelled towards this latest win by yet more woeful defending from a Sunderland side thrashed 8-0 by Southampton last time out, with Sanchez pouncing on errors by veteran centre-back Wes Brown and former Arsenal goalkeeper Vito Mannone.
"Alexis Sanchez took advantage of the mistakes Sunderland made," said Wenger.
"He has a super quality, he is quick on his feet. That`s why he wins so many balls that normal players don`t win," added Wenger, whose side returned from the north-east eight points behind leaders Chelsea.
"His transition from offence to defence is very quick. He wins the ball back very quickly and he can take advantage of that." Mannone`s place is under threat after he was given a stay of execution for his part in Sunderland`s record-breaking loss at Southampton.
Wenger felt for the former keeper, saying: "Vito has been educated at Arsenal so of course I have some sympathy. He is like anyone else, his confidence has dropped a little bit because of the defeat last week.
"But he has shown his qualities since he arrived here and will show that again."
Theo Walcott returned to Arsenal`s squad for the first time in nine months after suffering a serious knee injury in the FA Cup against Tottenham in January.
The England international wasn`t required, and remained on the bench ahead of a potential return to action next week at home to Burnley.
"Theo is fit," Wenger said. "Physically he lacks two things -- contact in the Premier League and competition. But fitness-wise there is no problem at all."
Meanwhile Wenger was pleased by the way Arsenal coped with a tight turnaround following their trip to Belgium.
"I`m happy, because we had a difficult game on Wednesday night and came to Sunderland who had a big defeat last week. Before the game, what we wanted was the three points and we got them.
"Maybe we missed some opportunities with the final ball, but overall we are very happy to get the three points. We won at Anderlecht and we won here, two-and-a-half days later. That`s never easy."
The hosts were left in danger of dropping into the relegation zone after a return of just one win in nine league games so far this season.
Sunderland put in a vastly-improved display compared to the one that saw them suffer such a humiliating setback at Southampton, but head coach Gus Poyet accepted they must quickly find another win to avoid coming under renewed pressure at the bottom.
"The commitment and organisation and desire compared to last week was there, but of course we made mistakes," said Poyet. "There`s a little anger in the dressing room after the game.
"We fought hard for the result and now it`s a long week before our next game, but we know that`s part of the job."
The former Chelsea and Uruguay midfielder added: "We`re paid to win games and we`ve only won one all season, so we have to go and win another quickly."

Despite a carefully conceived emergency plan, Federal Aviation Administration officials readily admit that if today's (Aug. 3) scheduled strike of air traffic controllers comes off, US air traffic will be disrupted.
But FAA officials continue to vigorously insist that the nation's airways would not be shut down entirely -- even if no air traffic controllers showed up for work. While the number of FAA management personnel qualified to sit in as controller substitutes is much smaller -- 2,500 supervisers vs. 17,000 controllers -- the federal agency has some specific interim plans for coping with a walkout.
Reached at his home in Maryland, Dennis Feldman, the FAA's deputy director of public affairs, stressed that "there will be some disruption and some inconvenience -- no question about it. "Our overriding philosophy is that we will never allow more aircraft into the system that can be safely handled."
"The price you pay for congestion is delay," Mr. Feldman says. "And if it means keeping more planes on the ground to keep the situation safe, we'll do so."
One factor expected to make it easier: Summer air traffic has been light and many planes have been operating with only about half of their seats filled.
The FAA plan, which Feldman termed a "very good" one, is tightly geared to the level of controller absentism and airport capacity to handle flights. If only a small number of employees stay out, the FAA will use the metering technique it often uses to ease the flow of traffic during bad weather conditions or times of heavy congestion. It calls for keeping planes on the ground for longer periods until the system can handle them. For passengers, this would mean delays and some mergers of flights, but few cancellations. Most of the 14,200 daily flights would still operate.
At the other extreme, if none of the 15,000 members of the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization (PATCO) show up for work, FAA supervisers and nonstriking controllers would take their places. Numerous flights would be canceled according to a priority plan that gives first preference to defense and medical flights and to flights covering more than 500 miles.
The FAA had a similar plan of action at the ready when a controllers strike was threatened for late June. At that time the majority of PATCO's members had not authorized a strike and union president Robert Poli at the last minute accepted a government offer of $40 million which kept the 40-hour workweek intact. A few days ago the union rejected that offer and negotiations began again.
Transportation Secretary Drew Lewis has said that union's latest demands, which PATCO puts at about $575 million, are "outrageous." In the talks that resumed Sunday afternoon, PATCO was expected to put its strongest emphasis on getting a shorter workweek. The government had agreed to pay tim e and half after 36 hours of work.

How does it feel to be deemed guilty before trial? To be held in a cutthroat Panamanian prison while suffering from terminal lung cancer?

Population Matters is committed to being open and honest in all our dealings with our donors and members. It is important that those who give us support in any way have access to a accredited means of making a complaint and that this can be, if necessary, examined by an outside agency. In this case the investigation and resolution of complaints will be carried out by the Fundraising Standard Board (FRSB).
Definition of a complaint
The FRSB will deal with all complaints that are concerned with a breach of the Institute of Fundraising's Codes of Fundraising Practice or a breach of the Fundraising Promise provided that the complainant has first directed the complaint to the charity concerned but is not satisfied with the answer received.
Complaints made by telephone
We will gather the facts using open questions. At the end of the call we will summarise the call to confirm that we have understood the situation. If appropriate, we will then try to resolve the complaint over the phone. If you are satisfied with our action, then that is the end of the action and we will note the complaint in the report which is submitted annually to the Fundraising Standards Board. If you are not satisfied, then we will proceed as detailed in the section 6 below. In any case, we will take your contact details and acknowledge the complaint in writing within 14 days, including a summary of your telephone conversation and confirmation that the complaint will be dealt with within 30 days.
Complaints made in writing by post or email
We will acknowledge the complaint in writing within 14 days, confirming that we will seek to resolve the complaint within 30 days. At this stage, further contact with you will only be made where we have insufficient details to take the complaint forward.
Our procedures
We will establish the area of our operation the complaint involves. Having first consulted with relevant staff, we will make contact with the chair of the board or other appropriate person to inform them of the situation and gather any relevant information regarding the materials and/or circumstances of the case.
If a third party is involved, we will also speak to them to gather any information about the circumstances of the complaint. We will take care to record all the important points and file these with the case.
Having gathered all the relevant information, we will consult with the chair of the trustees (or another person appointed in the chair's absence), the staff concerned and suppliers, if they have been implicated.
The assessment should set out the nature of the complaint and determine what action needs to be taken. If the complaint is about fundraising, then we will make a note on whether it is about an alleged breach of the Institute of Fundraising's Codes of Fundraising Practice and/or the Fundraising Standards Board Fundraising Promise. The FRSB will need this information if the complaint is referred to them. The outcome of the assessment will typically produce one of two options:
1) The complaint is justified. We will then write to you to apologise and let you know that the complaint has been used to improve on our future fundraising activities and how this will be done. We will also instigate action to prevent any recurrence of the problem.
2) The complaint is not justified. We will write to you to explain that we will not be changing our fundraising practices and give clear reason(s) for our position. We will always take complaints very seriously and assure you the investigation will be as thorough as possible. Accurate records will be kept of all the investigations which have carried out.
Extension of information gathering period
In exceptional circumstances, we may need more time than 30 days to gather all the information (for example, if a key member of staff is on annual leave or sick). If this happens, we will contact you in writing with a copy to the Fundraising Standards Board outlining the situation.
In the event that the complaint is not resolved to your satisfaction
In the event that you are not happy with our response, you should contact the Fundraising Standards Board within 2 months of receiving our response. We in turn will ensure that all correspondence is on file and that this can be made available to the Fundraising Standards Board if the complaint is pursued further.
If you are still dissatisfied, you can ask the Board of Directors of the Fundraising Standards Board to look again at your complaint. Their decision will be made within 60 days and will be final. We agree to abide by decisions made by the FRSB Board.
For issues such as dishonest handling of funds; misapplication of charitable funds; actions that contravene our trust deed or charity law, and actions that threaten to bring us into disrepute, you should contact the Charity Commission.

A community college student in Ohio was banned from distributing literature that was deemed "offensive" by another student.
According to the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, Ethel Borel-Donohue passed out flyers to her paralegal classmates on the "possible risks of Breast Cancer related to brith control and abortion" during Breast Cancer Awareness month…after class.
The department chair, Judge Michael Brigner, "summoned" Borel-Donohue to his office to discuss the matter. According to her account, the judge told her a fellow student had complained and that she "had no right to hand out any materials to students in the classroom."
And this guy's a judge?

A couple of weeks ago, David Coursey announced that he was going to try using Mac OS X as his sole operating system for a month. Though many Mac users raised a howl saying that Mr. Coursey was not going to be open minded, the reality is that Mr. Coursey is having a great time with his iMac. His experiences after one week into his experiment have been published in a piece titled "Why I just love the new iMac (and why you might, too)." As you can probably tell from the title, Mr. Coursey likes his iMac, he likes OS X, and more importantly, his thoughts are likely going to help Apple sell a few boxes. From that piece:
Mac OS X also does an excellent job of driving the screen, with great graphics performance. I am not quite so wild about the characters that show up while I am typing using Word or the other Microsoft Office apps. Microsoft has yet to fully implement the features of OS X that put great-looking fonts onto the screen.
This was likely lost in the rush to get a version of OS X to market and will be resolved in a future release. The "poor" quality of the Microsoft fonts is noticeable because the rest of the computer looks so great, not because itis putting my eyes out or anything.
The transition to the Mac way of doing things has been pretty easy, once I got the hang of the docking bar that is the OS X equivalent of the Windows start menu. Now that I have all my frequently used apps in the dock, I am a pretty happy camper.
Based on my experience, I have no reservations whatsoever recommending an iMac as a familyis new or next home computer. Only really hard-core gamers would have trouble with a Mac, and those people should be looking at the new gaming consoles anyway.
The crown jewel from the piece is this gem:
IiVE HAD NO trouble exchanging files with colleagues, sending and receiving e-mail, or browsing the Web.
You can read more of Mr. Courseyis extensive comments in the full article. Itis a good read, and we recommend it. You can also read some of Rodney O. Lainis thoughts on this piece (to be published at 9:00 AM, CST), or join in the discussion in our forums.

1. Rent refusing scandal.
As Donald Trump is one of the presidential candidates, Democrats are trying to find anything that could blacken his reputation. They have found one fact in his biography – in 70's, Trump was sued for refusing to rent his rental units to minorities and blacks. Even if this scandal wasn't that surprising, it's still a possibility for Democrats to overcome their opponent in Presidential run.

Dark Sun: The Tyrant of Tyr
Psionics is a part of everyday life in Tyr, as on all Athas. Most of Tyr's population possesses "wild talents," natural psionic abilities developed without formal study of psionics. Others specialize in the use of psionics, advancing their studies and gaining new, more powerful abilities as they progress. The School of Thought provides instruction in the use of psionic powers for students or PCs.
The School of Thought
The noble Chessia, herself an accomplished psionicist, maintains a psionics school where citizens may learn to use their latent psionic abilities or may follow the path of the psionicist. Fees charged for instruction are significant, and it is because of this sizeable investment that nobles and rich merchants most often are the ones to send their children and trusted employees here to develop their abilities. After all, psionics represent a valuable tool for professional or political advancement, not to mention survival. Occasionally, an impoverished student may be sponsored by the templars or another of the city's factions in return for a pledge of service later. Most students are there to awaken their wild talents and learn to use them. Some remain until perhaps the third or fourth level of achievement before leaving to make their fortunes. A very few stay on, or return for additional training later in life, to attain true mastery of the science of the mind.
Another organization of psionicists maintains a presence in Tyr, although this group's purposes and dealings are known to few outside their small circle. The group is called The Order.

Any advice on how to control this out of control and somewhat dangerous emotion
13 replies
Hello, I think anger is an emotion that every individual deals with in their lifetime. With me I try to stop and think what am I really angry about and what can I do to change it. I tried to just blame and hate diabetes itself. Although diabetes has a huge role to play in it, I was angry at myself honestly for not being the best I could be.
By no means am I saying that about you, I didnt want you to take that the wrong way. Just figure out what exactlly it is getting you so mad. If you are able and have the time, maybe take a kickboxing class or exercise. It will help to get a lot of frustration out in a positive way. Exercise is good for us all anyways. I hope this helps… good luck, being angry and staying angry takes a lot of work. Sometimes it is best to just let go.
Hi! I appreciate your honesty about your anger. We live in times when many people are frustrated and scared, and those feelings often lead to anger. And it is normal to react to a medical diagnosis, and the treatment and lifestyle challenges that go along with it, by getting angry. Again, its normal. And as you probably know, blood sugar levels can affect emotions.
I wasn't sure what you meant by 'control. It can be helpful to express your anger in a safe place, maybe by sitting down with someone who is willing and able to listen and not judge you or try to tell you what to do. Just sit down and get the anger out. When you release anger in a safe place, it goes away, so you don't have to control it and, more important, it doesn't have to control you.
Now, if your anger is affecting your life in negative ways, that is something to look at. Are you holding your anger in so tightly that you are making yourself sick? Does your anger get released at the wrong times, through blowing up at people you care about, or people at work, or people you run into on the street? Is your anger placing other people at risk physically? Are you afraid you might blow up and hurt yourself in some way? Do you get so mad that you don't take care of yourself? Have you lost jobs or friends or alienated family members?
Anger can empower us to take charge of our life and to make the world a better place, but, as I said, it can also cause distruction if it is not channeled in a positive direction.
I wouuld encourage you to reach out for help from a mental health professional if you are concerned about your anger and how it is being expressed. I am assuming from your screen name that you are in NYC. There are many, many resources here -- mental health agencies, anger management groups, support groups for diabetics, spiritual groups... do a search on anger management and your city and you will see all kinds of resources that you can tap into.
Get support. I am sure your friends on Diabetic Connect will have some experiences to share about how they have handled their anger.
Thanks for sharing about how you're feeling. That is the first step.
Don't go through this alone. Reach out! And keep us posted.
Happy day Sir,
Here is something that helped me but what works for one may not work for all Be blessed & know that you are favored in the name of Jesus.
Memorize and Meditate on God's Word
Don't give full vent to your anger.
Don't take revenge on a violator.
Don't get caught up in name-calling.
(Matt. 5:22)
Don't expect perfection from people.
Seek out the source of your anger.
Ask your wise God for His wisdom.
(James 1:5)
Be slow to speak if angry.
(James 1:19,20)
Release your right to stay angry.
(Col. 3:8)
Give your anger to God.
(1Pet. 5:7)
Pray for those who persecute you.
Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
(Col. 3:13)
Trust God to bring good from your trials.
Stay ready to forgive anyone for anything.
( Eph. 4:31,32)
ANGER is one letter away from DANGER.
Working 4 Jesus, & Loving it.
Mama Dee
I understand what you are saying. I have a violent temper. When I feel the urge to rip the roof off the planet I log into the DC family, and read posts, write to our DC family and just let the love and nurturing help.
It sounds corney but it worked for me. It doesn't work always, I just focus on not breaking another wall. Hope this helps.
Guardian stone
One thing that helps me is to walk away and talk to myself about what is really going on. A lot of times I get angry at someone or something because I am already frustrated. Once I make that connection, I realize that I don't need to take out my frustrations on someone else. It doesn't always work, mostly be cause I don't stop soon enough. But there are times when I do and I can get myself to look more calmly at the situation. I usually find out there is nothing to get angry about, just dealing with myself.
I have had to take some anger management classes. And I HAVE lost a 25 year marriage, in part because of diabetes and my craziness due to that. And I have alienated one of my 3 sons due to that.
I have found that MY best way to combat my mad and sad feelings is to dance, particularly learning a new type of dance (I'm trying to learn salsa).
Dancing is an excellent physical exercise which is fun to do. It doesn't feel like exercise. Also it is a good social experience and it also is a workout for the brain because you must remember the patterns you want to lead your partner into (if you are the male) or recognize your partner's lead.
And I have found, from my experience, you can't dance and be angry or depressed (anger turned inward).
From what you wrote in your profile I think you've found the right place.
a BIG WELCOME to DC "nuyorican"
Blessings to you and yours!
BTW: you might want to click on discussions tab at left and then enter "Sugar Blues" in the search box at the right, and read through some of the discussions which come up.
Keep on dancing.
Guardian stone
One of the best things I've found to combat those emotions is exercise. My favorite outlet is martial arts. There's no better release than to pound the bag repeatedly and break a few boards with a side kick. Breathe…Inhale, exhale, all is well with the world now. : )
Kick it Kaiyle.
Conquer the anger. Get that blackbelt.
God's love
Guardian stone
where does your anger come from? I know you have diabetes, but can you be more specific? If you don't wanna dish out your dirty laundry here in public, maybe you should seek professional help, from someone like Dr Gary on this board…I am not recommending him since I don't know him…Welcome to DC, good luck to you and hope you feel better soon..
I think we are too afraid to tell you! LOL
Diabetis really messes with your emotions. Hormones go crazy and some of us go off the wall. My family has learned to deal with it and when I realize what I'm doing I stop. It helps some if you have some kind of outlet for the anger. I go outside and scream my head off. I don't have any close neighbors!!
Good luck with this! HUGS

This is a nice short hike, it would be great for beginners. Hopefully you will find a parking place on the Forest Service Road near the trailhead, if not then park at the Cove Creek Caney Bottom Trailhead and hike in the reverse order.The hike is a gradual incline out and therefore easier coming back. The hike takes about 1 hour. The Fall is a great time to hike so that you can experience the beautiful foilage.

It was the summer of 1966 and the legendary Sam Snead had come down with a case of the "yips."
Nothing in golf is more dreadful than trembling hands that cause putts to roll astray. But when Snead found a simple cure — standing astride the ball as if playing croquet — officials quickly banned the technique.
"The history of the game cries out that you play it from one side of the ball," Joseph Dey Jr., head of the U.S. Golf Assn., said at the time.
Golf is nothing if not protective of its traditions. The Snead rule is but one example of the sport's rule-makers attempting to ward off change.

Namitha did not have any big release in 2011 and her movies disappeared in the blink of an eye from theatres. This was the time when she got more time to divert her attention from films and she successfully ventured into construction field. However, during the period, the actress also gave a thought on changing her 'single' status. Now, we hear that she has found her dream boy.
If the latest rumours are anything to go by, Namitha has started liking a lawyer. It is said that he was her pillar of strength, when she jumped into the construction field. His helping attitude and business knowledge impressed the voluptuous girl. Now, her proximity and friendship with him have gone to next step, as the Billa actress is in love.
However, Namitha is yet to convey her love for the boy, who is still a mystery for her fans. It may be recalled that the actress was earlier linked up with a businessman named Bharat Kapoor.

I have a Dell Inspiron 580 windows 7 x64 I had kaspersky 2011 and bought the renewal/update of kaspersky 2013. installed kaspersky 2013 without uninstalling 2011, seemed fine, rebooted, got the blue screen of death. My computer would then only start up in safe mode (not even safe mode with networking). I did a system restore. Did the uninstall of kaspersky 2011 was prompted to reboot, blue screen of death, system restore. After the system restore I ran the report utility they said I should run and it came up with 1 file as incompatible with the software ApnToolbarInstaller.exe -the Ask toolbar. The program doesn't show under the uninstall window, it doesn't show as an addon for firefox, explorer, or chrome. BUT if I follow the location of where the utility says it is I can find the file in it's folder. However I can't uninstall it from there, can't even open in. I tried Revo uninstaller and it doesn't show up there either. I tried Microsoft Fixit. To uninstall something it doesn't seem to know is there it seems to need the product code. I don't know how to get that for the Ask toolbar. I tried it to uninstall the old Kaspersky with Fixit and had to do the same blue screen system restore dance. How do I get this thing out of my computer? How do I make Kaspersky work? please and thank you

text: Seeing the latest combiner kitbashes has inspired me to try to figure out my own. I fiddled around with my classic autobots, and I came up with this: The actual modding to make him combine would be very simple, and probably wouldn't need any add-on parts, which is very important to me. The head is just a stand-in (it's Prime's windvane gun), and I could probably make a proper transforming head out of the windvane. With a proper paintjob, I think he could be a pretty cool combiner team, even though he would be a fan character. What do you think? Is the beast arm dumb? Does it look stupid? Is it too power ranger-ish? Is this project worth continuing?

British mother jailed for taking children to live under ISIS
The 34-year-old woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, wanted to live under Sharia law, Leeds Crown Court in northern England was told.
She abducted her children in October last year with the intention of going to Raqqa, where the ISIS jihadist group has set up its headquarters.
However, her husband and parents contacted the police and she was stopped in Istanbul by the Turkish authorities.
She admitted two counts of child abduction relating to her children, who were both under the age of 16.
"Raqqa is, and was in October 2015, the epicentre of a war zone. Further, it was, and presently remains, under the control of IS," said judge Rodney Jameson.
"It is beyond dispute that IS enforce their will by the use of extreme force. Such force routinely includes mutilation, rape and murder. You are an intelligent and well-educated woman; you knew this.
"The fate of your children would have been either to have subscribed, fully and actively, as we have all seen in the appalling use of a young child in an IS propaganda video in recent days, to such behaviour, or to have suffered it themselves."
The woman was born in Britain and spent her formative years in Pakistan before returning to northern England.
She became increasingly religious and gave up her job in finance in August last year, before attempting to take her children to Syria.
"This was a terrible betrayal of your responsibilities to your children," said Jameson.
The judge jailed the woman for five years and four months.

Oh, sure, it's fun for a little while. Staying up late into the wee hours. Channel surfing infomercials. Playing video games. Reading the latest bestseller.
But day after day, week after week or month after month of lackluster job opportunities, unproductive interviews and dwindling bank accounts? Not so fun.
It's time for change.
Life change.
Radical life change.
It's very likely time to go back to school.
If you're unemployed and reading this, here's a checklist to help you figure out how to find a rewarding career faster.
Heading back to school? Make sure you max out your Financial Aid with the help of this free FAFSA report.
. . . . . . . . . . .
Have you been unemployed longer than you thought you'd be or fed up with being unemployed?
Long periods of unemployment are bound to have an affect not just on finances but on your emotions. Instead of fretting about your unemployment situation, use it to spur you to action. One example is to find education and training assistance opportunities just for unemployed workers. One to try? Opportunity.gov.
Were you unhappy in your previous job?
As hard as it is to be downsized from a job, sometimes an unexpected or unwanted job change can turn into a positive. Being forced to make a change is never pleasant, but the end result most certainly can be. Figure out what made you unhappy in your old job. Was it the hours? Pay? Style of leadership? Then make a list of things you want (and deserve) in your next job. What jobs offer the things that are most important to you? Which degree program can help you get there?
Have you exhausted pretty much all your job-hunting resources?
If you've networked unsuccessfully with everyone from your hair stylist to your neighbor's best friend's brother's girlfriend's ex, it's time for a new source of job leads. When you're enrolled in a college or university, you'll automatically have access to a new and untapped career resource: alumni. Career development centers can help connect you with working graduates who are in need of talent like yours.
Are you ready for a new challenge like finishing your college degree?
If so, now's your chance. Unburdened by the demands of a daily 9-to-5, you can pour your time and energy into your college coursework. Here's how to position yourself for success.
. . . . . . . . . . .
If you answered "yes" to most of these questions, congratulations! You're on your way to taking back control of your life—and your career.

Sarajevo Olympic Hall renamed after Juan Antonio Samaranch
LAURA WALDEN / Sports Features Communications
TAMPA/SARAJEVO, June 19: The main venue for the Sarajevo's 1984 Winter Olympic Games has been renamed in memory of Juan Antonio Samaranch to commemorate his rescuing of the venue after the civil wars of the 1990s in the former Yugoslavia.
The National Olympic Committee of Bosnia-Herzegovina and ZOI'84 were behind the proposal put forward by Ahmed Karabegovic to the Sarajevo Assembly. The NOC also wants a major street named after the former IOC president who died on April 21 this year.
The arena was built for the 1984 Games which were the first under the presidency of Samaranch. The venue hosted ice hockey, speed skating and figure skating as well as the last indoor closing ceremony until the Vancouver finale.
Between 1984 and 1991 Zetra served as an ice sport venue for international speed skating events and ice hockey.
When war erupted in 1992 the building was almost destroyed by bombing and fire. The surviving areas of the facility such as the basement were used as a mortuary and to house medical supplies. Even the wooden seats were utilized for coffins.
In 1997 the NATO-led peace-keeping Stabilisation Force (SFOR) began reconstruction work and Samaranch stepped in with IOC support of US11.5m towards the work. This covered much of the estimated $20m cost zand the facility was restored in 1999 as a sports hall again.

Northcutt Steele Gallery
Ceramic Artist Benjie Heu Completes Short-Term Residency at Montana State University Billings
On October 10 and 11 the Northcutt Steele Gallery, in conjunction with MSUB Potters' Guild, and with the support of the Associated Students of MSUB, hosted a short-term artist residency for ceramic artist Benjie Heu. Heu worked in the Outer Gallery on the first floor of the Liberal Arts Building of the MSUB campus, demonstrating his process, answering questions, and discussing his influences. The event was open to the public, allowing students from a variety of majors to interact with the artist. In addition, Heu offered critiques to upper-division studio art majors, focusing on the development of form and content in their own work.
Heu is Professor of Ceramics at Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau and holds and MFA in Ceramics from Ohio University. His work explores the nature of personal identity in twenty-first century visual culture. Resembling scarred and marred toys, Heu's figures journey across a post-apocalyptic landscape seeking truth and enlightenment.
Heu's residency concluded with an artist talk given by the artist and the opening reception of his exhibit "Story Time," which is currently on display at the Northcutt Steele Gallery.
The Nothcutt Steele Gallery is located on the 1st floor of the Liberal Arts Building on the MSUB campus and is open Monday–Friday from 8am to 4pm. Benjie Heu's "Story Time" will be on display through November 8.
For more information visit: www.msubillings.edu/gallery and www.facebook.com/northcuttsteelegallery.
Heu demonstrates his wheel-throwing and hand-building process for a group of students.
Visitors enjoy Heu's installation, Little Pockets of Darkness, which includes over 100 pieces and covers an entire wall of the gallery.

On a glorious sunny day last week I sowed Cosmos, Nigella, Zinnia and Cornflowers into seed plug trays ( a bargain at Hayes , £1.99 for 5 trays of 40 plugs).
I sowed,and then I wrote labels, just like Monty, ("always make sure you label your seeds") and stuck the labels in the seed trays. I made the labels from shiny cardboad, and wrote them with a felt pen.
3 days later, I have seedlings already- fantastic! The only problem is that the labels are now damp, the ink has run, and I don't know what's what.
Basic lesson well learned- use permanent ink on plastic, not soluble ink on card. Obviously. Doh!
I think the first seedling to show are Cosmos. I grew Cosmos from seed last year, as I struggle to find the bedding plants locally and they tend to be quite expensive. They were brilliant. So easy, so impressive. If I'd known years ago how easy Cosmos was to grow from seed ............ but then every gardener always has regrets don't they?
Here a picture of Cosmos in my Lake District garden last year.
|Cosmos grown from seed, White Moss House, Grasmere 2014
If you can't get down to your garden centre you can buy seeds online from Amazon. Here's the link for UK readers
Readers in the USA and Canada can buy Cosmos seeds via this picture link.

Olivia Wilde joins Daniel Craig in Cowboys vs. Aliens
The first time I had heard of Olivia Wilde, it was for the failed biblical comedy YEAR ONE (I'm not a big TV guy otherwise I would've known she's been starring on "House" for the past four years). While about a total of 10 people saw YEAR ONE in theaters, that hasn't stopped Wilde's star from rising. She'll be seen later this year in TRON: LEGACY and she's just landed her biggest role to date.
Wilde has signed on to co-star with Daniel Craig in the upcoming sci-fi/adventure flick COWBOYS VS. ALIENS. The actress will play Ella who joins up with Craig's gunslinger to help fight off an alien attack. The behind-the-scenes credits feature a veritable who's-who of fanboy talent: Jon Favreau is directing from a script by Damon Lindelof, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci (STAR TREK) with Steven Spielberg and Ron Howard producing for DreamWorks.
If you'll remember, Robert Downey, Jr. had long been attached to star in the film but recently dropped out to focus his attention on another budding franchise and the sequel SHERLOCK HOLMES 2. For more on Ms. Wilde, you can check out her profile page at MovieHotties.com.
|Extra Tidbit:
|So in two years time, DreamWorks will have made movies titled MONSTERS VS. ALIENS and COWBOYS VS. ALIENS. What do they have against aliens??

People who treat other people as less than human must not be surprised when the bread they have cast on the waters comes floating back to them, poisoned. – James Baldwin
Who's kidding who these days about where the first world is going and perhaps the rest of the world with it. Unless Moses comes down from the mountain with Jesus by his side it looks like what's coming will change our lives and this world forever. Our leaders, top military officials and the heads of the most powerful bank, finance and industrial corporations know exactly what is going on but they don't want you to know about it. They are not stupid though they are cruel, inhumanly so.
Clearly the obvious plan of the elite classes is to insure their own survival to the best of their abilities and the rest of us who care to have a hairs chance of a life had better be doing the same with their own survival plans. First world governments have been increasingly regulating and taking control over our lives and finances and now it's done in desperation. The more one knows the more one smells the end of times, at least the good times we have known during these past few decades when debt was attractive.
The Abandonment of Truth
Paul Craig Roberts, who was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury during President Reagan's first term says, "There was a time when the pen was mightier than the sword. That was a time when people believed in truth and regarded truth as an independent power and not as an auxiliary for government, class, race, ideological, personal, or financial interest. Today Americans are ruled by propaganda. Americans have little regard for truth, little access to it, and little ability to recognize it. Truth is an unwelcome entity. It is disturbing. It is off limits. Those who speak it run the risk of being branded "anti-American," "anti-Semite" or "conspiracy theorist." Truth is an inconvenience for government and for the interest groups whose campaign contributions control government."
There is an inevitable outcome to what we have already done. Struggling against that truth has made things worse. Roberts concludes, "The liberty and prosperity of the American people have been thrown into the trash bin of history. The militarism of the U.S. and Israeli states, and Wall Street and corporate greed, will now run their course."

>> Sheshan National Holiday Resort
Sheshan National Holiday Resort
Located in southwest Shanghai---Songjiang, which is the birthplace of the city's history and culture, Sheshan National Holiday Resort has unique natural views and cultural interest.
Sheshan National Forest Park
Sheshan National Forest Park is rated as one of the first AAAA tourism sites by the National Tourism Administration. It has four tourism sites: East Sheshan Park, West Sheshan Park, Tianmashan (Heaven Horse Mountain) Park, and Xiaokunshan Park.
East Sheshan Park
Animals and plants abound on the East Sheshan Mountain. There are wild sika deer, pangolin scales and about 100 kinds of birds. Besides, there are about 2,000 types of plants such as cinnamomum camphoras and moso bamboos.
The main attractions in East Sheshan are the Bird Center, the Butterfly Garden, the Plant Fossil Forest and the Wonder Stone Cave. There is also a funicular for entertainment, which is called 'Sledge on Mock Skiing Land'. There is also a 22.4-meter-high (about 73 feet) tower on the south peak which is a wonderful place for tea drinking and sightseeing.
West Sheshan Park
There are also many attractions on the West Sheshan Mountain. The Church of Our Lady of Sheshan is the biggest church in Southeast Asia as well as the landmark architecture of Sheshan Mountain. The Sheshan Observatory is one of the earliest and largest observatories in China. The Astronomy Museum is a National Science Education Base. The Seismographic Station is one of the earliest institutes for earthquake research. The tower on the hillside is also one of the famous historic monuments of Sheshan Mountain. The newly built Bamboo Park is a place for entertainment, extreme sports and body building.
Tianmashan (Heaven Horse Mountain) Park
Tianmashan (Heaven Horse Mountain) is in the southeast section of Sheshan Mountain and is the largest and highest peak of Sheshan. As a whole, it looks like a heavenly horse about to fly, so it is called Tianma Shan (Heaven Horse Mountain). It is said that Ganjiang (a skilful sword maker in the Spring and Autumn Period) once made swords here, so it is also called 'Ganshan Mountain'. In ancient times, Tianma Shan was a Buddhist resort and worshippers came to offer incense to Buddha, so it is also named 'Shaoxiang (burning incense) Mountain'.
Huzhu Pagoda on Tianmashan has a history of more than 900 years and is tilted at an angle of 6°51′52″, which surpasses the Leaning Tower of Pisa and makes it a wonderful site in Shanghai.
Xiaokunshan Park
Xiaokunshan Park is constructed on Xiaokunshan Mountain. First called 'Kunshan Mountain'; 'xiao (small)' was added by later generations to differentiate it from other Kunshan Mountains. Because it looks like the head of a crouched ox from a distance, Xiaokunshan Mountain is also called 'Niutou' (head of an ox) Mountain'.
This is the hometown of the famous writers Lu Ji and Lu Yun from the Western Jin Dynasty (265 – 316). The park displays their reading station and thatched cottage.
Yuehu Sculpture Garden
Yuehu Sculpture Garden is another tourism site of Sheshan National Holiday Resort. It is an arts garden with modern sculptures and architectures, natural mountain scenery, and high-quality entertainment facilities. Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter -- four coastal costal areas -- are built around Yuehu Lake. The garden is a harmonious picture of human art and natural scenery existing together.
Entertainment Places
The Shanghai Qingqing Tourism World is an ecological garden for sightseeing, holidays, conferences, quartering, eating and entertainment. It has the Bridge to Grandma's Home, Sunshine Beaches, Fishing Pool and many other attractions. It also offers facilities such as cars, boats, tennis, and basketballs. Additionally, it hosts entertainment activities such as lawn weddings and barbecue parties. There is also a 4-star hotel in this garden.
In Sheshan National Holiday Resort are some high-standard entertainment places. Shanghai Sheshan International Golf Club has international golf courses, eastern and western restaurants, a coffee house, a VIP dressing room, etc. The HSBC Golf Championship was held here in 2005.
Another golf club is the Shanghai Tianma Golf Country Club located in the central area of the Sheshan National Holiday Resort. The Shanghai Tianma Car-world is another place for entertainment. It has gradually developed into an Eden for car lovers.
Specialties and Activities
Sheshan is also famous for its bamboo shoots, honey peaches and Lan Tea. The Sheshan bamboo shoot was named 'Lan Sun (Orchid Shoot)' by Kang Xi (an emperor in the Qing Dynasty, because it smells like an orchid. Lan Tea is known as 'Shanghai Longjing Tea.'
Some activities are also held on Sheshan Mountain every year for visitors to participate in, such as the International Sand Sculpture Festival, Mountain Climbing on New Year's Day, Double Ninth Festival and Lan Sun Culture Festival. Sand Sculpture Festival is held every September to November. Visitors may appreciate classic sand works during this time.

These campaigns and images are representative of a shift in the fashion world to represent more diverse models and the efforts are coming from some major players in the industry.
Some of the most notable efforts this year include Barneys New York's Spring 2014 campaign, which features dozens of transgender models and Debenhams' 'High Summer Lookbook,' with a mix of models who are amputees, Paralympians, elderly and plus-sized women. These campaigns are truly refreshing in that they are from major retailers that are choosing to realistically represent a broader spectrum of people in the world in advertisements.
New York Fashion Week this year also saw some unconventional models on the runway, including Lindsey Vonn who walked the Heart Truth Red Dress 2014 show on crutches and Danielle Sheypuk who stunned at the Carrie Hammer fashion show in her wheelchair, proving that people with disabilities are consumers of fashion too.

In his short but prolific video-directing career, Tom Scharpling has yet to make a bad video. His latest burst of inspiration comes in the form of a video for Death Cab For Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard's soft-rocking solo single "Teardrop Windows." In the video, Gibbard, on the advice from a record-label weasel, attempts to reinvent himself as a "bad boy," and that description alone should really be all the motivation you need to click play. Watch the video below.
Gibbard's solo album Former Lives is out now on Barsuk.

From a gardener who's grown it, 'I adore it': My rubrum planted in late spring 2003 blossomed in September. In 2004, the 2nd year, it surprised me by sending up a second stalk and producing another set of beautiful blossoms, blooming in September again. I can't wait to see what 2005 has in store for me. This is the last lilium to blossom in my gardens. I adore the small, recurved, pink, white and red down-facing, fragrant blossoms.' ......a subscriber at DavesGarden.com, gardening in Springfield, MA
How the Rose Red Lily was sent out to the world. During the 1940's, this wild lily was quite common around the land of a Japanese farmer named Hirotaka Uchida. He noticed that most of the flowers were pinkish or white, like the botanical drawing shown here, with deep red spots and center banding on the tepals (petals). But he also noticed that some were almost pure red, revealing what he recognized as a valuable rare form. Before and during the dark days of World War II, Mr. Uchida collected the reddest ones and continued his work for several years. At the end of the war, the Uchida family was able to export 60 bulbs of the pure red variety which they called 'Lilium speciosum Uchida'. Meanwhile, botanists classified the red form 'Lilium speciosum var rubrum', and the famous 'Rubrum Lily' was born. (The abbreviation, var simply means 'variety' in botanical nomenclature, and 'rubrum' means red.)
So when you see 'Rubrum Lilies' in a florist shop, or 'Uchida Lilies' in a garden center, or 'Lilium speciosum' being sold in a catalog, it's going to be a beauty, but like so many plants today, the naming is regularly confused.
Our bulbs are Lilium speciosum var rubrum, the red version of the wild species, grown and carefully labeled for us in Holland. They're as easy to grow as a Star Gazer, and when they bloom for you, you'll know you have the real thing.

given the nature of lilies hoping it does better next year because of the late planting this year...
Comments about American Meadows Wild Rose Red Lily of Japan Bulbs:
I put these lilies in with my tiger lilies not knowing what to expect. The great thing about them is that they bloomed after the tiger lilies were finished.
There were only a couple of blooms on each plant. I have transplanted them in a different location for next year and hope there will be more blooms

Five music-lovers from the world of art and design share the album artwork that has stuck with them since they first laid eyes on it, and the effect the music itself had on their life and work.Last in the series, Shaz Madani.
Shaz Madani spends her days designing spectacular, pick-up-able printed matter from her London studio. As well as being the brains behind each issue of smart women's magazine Riposte, she has also worked on projects for Elephant Magazine, the V&A, LCC and the Wellcome Trust. Clients flock to her for the elegant, innovative but curiously modern touch she seems to have with print design.
Here she is on her love for the Blue Note jazz style, in particular Jazz Messengers at the Café Bohemia, and the influence it has had on her work:
"I'd like to say before I get into the music that my typographic fetish may have swayed my choice a little. The Blue Note style jumped out to me before I knew a thing about jazz. Its expressive, irreverent use of space and bold huge type just screams out to be played.
But it wasn't until I started properly listening to jazz that I realised how much this design relates to the music. It's almost a literal depiction of the freeform, fun and madness in the record. A visual protest to traditional graphic design as the music was a protest to predictable bebop of the '40s.
The funny thing is this cover, and the many others designed by Reid Miles, just work so well as a 12″ sleeve but almost disappear as a 150px square on iTunes. I'd like to think this isn't just about the romance of vinyl but about the actual size that Ried wanted his text, as big and bold a visual slap as it is a sonic one. Although Miles has stated he didn't even like jazz, let alone design his sleeves to sound like the music, I feel like the attitude of this generation sank into the music and art that defined the times.
When I think about this cover and it's music I can't help of think of the whole Blue Note style. Whether it was about cropping tightly into photographs, breaking down the words, using repetition and strips of monotone colour — the arrangement of type and photos where always handled with such finesse and balance that you feel if a single element was removed the whole thing would collapse.
(Note: The cover to The Jazz Messengers at the Café Bohemia is technically credited to John Hermansader, the company's then art director. But it was designed while Miles had just stared working there and he almost certainly had a significant contribution.) makes it the perfect fit.

Thu, Aug 22 2013: WAR FROM A HARLOTS MOUTH
Latest release: "Voyeur"
Release date: Fri, Oct 19 2012, US Tue, Nov 06 2012
Post-hardcore metal vanguards WAR FROM A HARLOTS MOUTH have announced that they will go on an "indefinite hiatus". After eight years, four critically-acclaimed full length albums, and several well-received splits and EPs in between, the band have announced a departure date at the end of December.
The band issued the following statement: "Today we are writing to all of you with some bad news. You might have heard the rumors or read some press releases and they are right, but only to an extent: WFAHM is going into an indefinite hiatus at the end of the year.
"There are a lot of reasons for us to make that move and believe me when I say that it's not an easy decision. But it feels like it's something we just have to do at this point. The last 7,5 years have been awesome for the most part and we're grateful for all the experiences and new friends we have made while traveling the world to show people what we're all about. We have toured places we never thought we'd get to see, such as Australia, Russia, almost the entire USA and all across Europe of course. We have made friends for life on the road. We have grown immensely as musicians and turned this band into something we are very proud of.
"Being in this band has been a great experience for each and everyone of us and it took us to places and opened up doors we couldn't even dream of. Being that the band started as a side project, we always stuck to the original spirit of making music that was outside of the box and therefor survived much longer than a lot of bands who were trying to be a part of certain hypes. We never cared for that, we just wanted to do our own thing and feel like we have achieved that. We want to thank everyone who's involvement made it possible for us to do what we do... you most definitely know who you are.
"The scene we're a part of used to be an inspiring subculture but has turned into an abortion of mainstream accessibility, with choreographed stage moves and cute little matching outfits. It's frustrating to witness and really makes it less fun to go out and play with new bands sometimes. However, this is not a breakup, it's a hiatus. Sooner or later we might find the urge to come back and slay!"
The band has scheduled a final string of live dates, including some festival appearances. A full list of the band's final confirmed tour dates can be found below.
WAR FROM A HARLOTS MOUTH released their latest record, 'Voyeur' in November. The music video for the track "Vertigo" is available on Season of Mist's YouTube channel. The band is streaming 'Voyeur' in its entirety at the official WAR FROM A HARLOTS MOUTH Bandcamp page.
