Gimme Ten by Norwegian trio Ungdomskulen is a collection of ten songs that are one minute long in duration. Therefore, we have a ten minute long mini LP. If Andy Warhol was correct about 15 minutes of fame, Ungdomskulen are destined to perform their album in full before filling up the final third of their allotted time explaining the point in releasing an album of ten one minute songs.
In Gimme Ten they have crafted a record for people with a near non-existent attention span. The ten tracks are immediate, catchy and energetic. With a sound best described as angular and post-punk, it is reminiscent of Foals before they went all glacial.
Like all good bands singing in their second language (ie, Kraftwerk) the lyrics routinely contain unconventional and entertaining turns of phrase that leave you scratching your head. "I do not worry because you keep the knife on my plate" is a prime example. The less perplexing, "You can take your silver spoon, and stick it to your mum", showcases their tongue in cheek humour, or a misguided application to be crowned 'Norway's Working Class Heroes 2011'. The less hyperactive 'Walking The Dog' brings to the fore some dub bass to hold the song together. While 'It's Official' somehow simultaneously pulls off being sleazy and endearing.
The annoying thing with Gimme Ten is that the songs are good. They have character, energy and wit. I really can't understand why they didn't just flesh them out. They have done conventional releases before, such as Cry Baby, that garnered credible reviews. Whatr we are left with here is essentially a collection of well polished ideas.
It's a little bit hard to get beyond the gimmick. Like the absent father who went out to get a packet of cigarettes and never came back, nothing sticks around long enough to leave a lasting impression. No matter how hard you look for a positive from the experience, ultimately you're left feeling short-changed.
Ungdomskulen have attempted something different, blurring the lines of conventional record releases, and I respect their endeavour. There is a lot of promise shown by Gimme Ten, yet call me conventional, or old fashioned, but I prefer albums to be longer than a lap dance.
Upon release, each song is to be accompanied by a video courtesy of Blank Blank, a Berlin based production company. This might enhance the listening experience. I often found longer, expansive songs easier to digest and value with accompanying footage, acting as a doorway to appreciation. Within a different format Gimme Ten might make more sense. Then again, you could always get to the end of the video and think to yourself, 'Wow, those songs were quite short. What was the point in that?'

Let's start with this: it's not fair.
Then again, fair's got nothin' to do with it.
No matter the level of genius or motivation or scrappy gritty leadership a manager demonstrates, the Pink Slip is coming for him, sooner or later.
And that time is creeping sooner for John Gibbons. Let's face it: Gibby was on borrowed time to begin with, seeing as how even his best moments we're never quite up to snuff. Now, the blade is getting closer, the walls are heating up and closing in, and the eternal pit of unemployment is gaping hungrily below him. His time's almost up.
The fact is that this team, with the way they have played since April of 2007, is a bad team. At best a middle of the pack team with an outside shot at contention, this team has played to the lowest ends of its potential. This is a team that is going to have to scrape and claw to regain its traditional slot in third place in the AL East, never mind contending for a Wild Card berth. And does the responsibility for the assembly of players on the field fall with Gibby? Not especially.
Gibby's managerial decisions have been marginally better in the later part of 2007 and early in 2008, but again, that's not going to help him make the case for continued employment with this club. It's a bottom line business, and the bottom line shows the Jays four games in the red.
We don't want to make any guesses as to the when and how it happens, nor do we want to take excessive glee in his downfall. Know this: If Gibbons gets canned, it's not likely the start of a turnaround for the 2008 Jays. It's more likely to be the start of another three-to-five year cycle of re-evaluation and rebuilding.
Gibby ain't Jimy
What we're going to hear in the days that follow Gibbons' firing are a lot of analogies to the 1989 Blue Jays, who shitcanned Jimy Williams and went on to win the division. That kettle there ain't this kettle here.
Jimy was a hard ass manager who had lost the respect of some of his players. He didn't have the people skills to manage a group of young players (a fact that would be replicated in Boston and Houston), nor could he deal with a team that was transitioning from one era to the next.
And while Cito had initial success that year, the teams that eventually won the World Series three and four years later were significantly different from the one he took over. The 1989 Jays made the best of a down year in the AL East (their 89 wins would have put them in fourth in the West that year), but they weren't a championship team that just needed Cito to unlock their potential.
The incremental changes made in each year throughout that period (including the acquisition of Mookie Wilson in 1989, the elevation of John Olerud and Pat Borders in 1990, and the acquisitions of Joe Carter, Robbie Alomar and Devon White and the emergence of Juan Guzman in 1991) made the Jays a radically different and vastly improved team by the time of their back to back championships. It wasn't Cito, it was the personnel.
If the current Jays think that they can move forward by continuing to champion mediocrity with long-term deals to players who don't even remotely belong amongst the elite at their position, than this is going to be a much longer process indeed.

Sometimes, hitting a major birthday can be a milestone, a turning point in one's life.
We've all heard of the old "life begins at 40" adage" and there are many people who dread turning 30, fearing that they are leaving their wilder days behind them and having to finally do sensible and serious things like buying homes, babies and marriage.
Scots singer Amy Macdonald, who is hitting the highways and byways of Britain for her latest tour, has just notched up that 30th milestone.
So was it a reason to celebrate or comiserate?
"Turning 30 wasn't a big deal for me at all," she said. "In fact, It sort of brought an end to my first ten years in the business very neatly.
"It is ten years since my first album and just after my birthday, I found out that my sales have reached twelve million worldwide - so my memories of turning 30 are extremely happy!"
Amy is hoping for more of that happiness when she arrives in our region on November 5. She'll be appearing at Scunthorpe's Baths Hall in support of her fourth and latest album Under Stars - a quite appropriate title seeing as outside the venue, the skies will be filled with the bright lights of Bonfire Night.
She's understandably pleased with the album which was released to great critical acclaim earlier this year.
"I'm looking forward to getting out there and playing live again," she said.
"The new tour is an acoustic tour - I've done so many shows over the years where I've done a little acoustic set and it has always gone down so well so I wanted to expand on that."
"Playing songs acoustically means interpreting and playing them in a whole different way, so the process of rehearsing and getting ready can often be a lot more complex than an ordinary tour.
"For me, acoustic shows have a magical feeling. Smaller, intimate venues and a chance to play songs that mean something to me and the people listening to them. I'm really looking forward to it."
Since first bursting onto the music scene back in 2007 with songs such as Mr Rock 'n' Roll and This Is The Life, the Bishopbriggs-born star has enjoyed worldwide success and met with the approval of critics across the globe.
She's rubbed shoulders with Ellen DeGeneres in the US, played a string of festivals, appeared on TV countless times and enjoyed number ones internationally.
And she's also worked alongside Kinks legend Ray Davies, is engaged to Scottish Premier League footballer Richard Foster and has collected a clutch of awards.
Not bad for a wee Scots lassie who heard Travis performing their song Turn at T In The Park in 2000 and decided that she'd like to play it herself and so ended up teaching herself to play her dad's guitar at the age of 12.
But the trappings of fame don't come without some drawbacks.
The fiercely proud Glasgow girl and a fan of Rangers, is no longer able to attend games at her beloved football club - especially Old Firm derbies against the club's deadly city rivals Celtic.
She said: "I tend to stay away from the Old Firm games, they tend to be a little bit crazy. It is difficult to go to places like that, because people can recognise you and it can become a bit uncomfortable."
The schedule of touring and soundchecking also means she doesn't get much beyond the venue she's playing at - which can be another frustration.
"Sometimes you are at the venue from 8am but not actually on stage until 9pm so there's a lot of waiting around. But you are needed for setting up and the soundcheck so its difficult to go anywhere. I grab a coffee and go for a quick wander around and that's about it!"
But she wouldn't have it any other way.
She's looking forward to getting out there once again and presenting her new album as well as the rich collection of guitar folk-tinged classics from her impressive back catalogue.
"People seem really excited and we're really looking forward to it.
"It should be a really great atmosphere We'll be playing some of my best-loved songs - it will be a mix of all four of my albums, so there will be something for everyone."
Of her latest album Under Stars, she said: "It's been about 2 and a half years in the making which is the longest I've ever taken with an album. At the time I wanted things to happen quicker but now that it's finished I'm glad we've taken the time; it feels like it's had the TLC that it deserves."
Amy added: "I feel so proud of the songs and am so pleased with the record. There are so many incredible moments and I really feel this record features some of my best work. I'm excited to finally share it with my fans and I believe there is so much that will also appeal to new fans."

I got a phone call Wednesday evening that I'm still struggling with. To say it was unexpected is the understatement of the century.
One of our foster children, that we assumed would be here very-very long term, if not forever, is now apparently going back home at the end of the school year. As in a couple of months from now.
Normally this a thing to celebrate in foster care. When the parents see their wrongs, work hard to correct them, and get their children back - that's a reason to praise God! But, this case.. it's a reason to cry out to God, "What?! What are you doing?!!"
Things can always change. They can change DAILY. But, for reasons I can't discuss, this does seem like it is going to happen.
Selfishly my heart is broken. This is my child... more mine than her "real" families if you ask me based upon actions. For her - she'll be happy to go home. No doubt. Almost all children want to go home, no matter how horrible home is. I can completely understand that. But, what she doesn't see, that I do... my heart breaks for her. I worry for her. I worry for her siblings... all I can do is pray. I have to know that God has her and this situation no matter what the end result. Even if I cannot see it right now, if she goes home, there must be a plan for her there. I just pray it's a plan that she can handle, and a plan that doesn't send her down a very wrong road in life.
This... this is why people don't do foster care. But, let me tell you. Even in THIS current state - with a huge loss apparently right around the corner - I wouldn't trade a SINGLE day of the last year+ that we've had with her. I wouldn't swap knowing her for not having this pain. I wouldn't go back to living in my hole in the ground where I refused to see what children really go through, and what they need, and how I really can help... I can if I'm willing to sacrifice EVERYTHING. I'd do it all again.. and again.. and again. Just like the pain of childbirth to have of-the-body children, the pain of loss in foster care is horrendous, but the love you have from God, and the love you give, is worth it.

Awww ...I'll be praying for you. I have this quote written in my Bible and I think of it often "sometimes it takes just as much faith to accept God's "no's" as it does His "yeses". Not sure that will help but it generally helps me :)

Wow. So heavy. I'll be praying for everyone involved to have wisdom to see what's best... and where God's going with this (at least a little.)

KARACHI: Authorities in Pakistan's largest city have launched an urgent investigation after a rare water-borne "brain-eating" amoeba killed 10 people in four months, officials said Tuesday.
The water company and health officials monitoring water in Karachi, home to 18 million people, have been ordered to trace the source of the Naegleria fowleri outbreak.
Sindh Health Minister Dr Saghir Ahmed said the drinking supply, swimming places and facilities used for ritual ablutions were all under investigation.
"There is no reason to panic and citizens should stay calm and take precautions," Ahmed said.
"It is a water-borne infection and we are thoroughly inquiring about its arrival and spread here."
Shakeel Malick, a health ministry official, said the amoeba had caused 10 deaths so far this year. He said there have been cases in the past, but so few that detailed numbers were not recorded.
The amoeba causes primary amoebic meningitis, a disease with a fatality rate of over 99 percent, said Faisal Mehmood, an expert in infectious diseases.
Naegleria fowleri is found in warm fresh water and usually infects people when contaminated water enters the body through the nose. The amoeba passes through the nasal membranes and destroys brain tissues.
The ablutions Muslims must perform before praying involve rinsing inside the nose and Ahmed said people should use boiled water for the purpose while the outbreak was going on.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) said nine cases had been confirmed and one more was suspected. It is working with Pakistani officials to investigate the cases and work out steps to prevent further infections.
"We are visiting houses of the victims and profiling their history," Musa Khan, WHO's head of disease early warning system in Pakistan, told AFP.
Misbahuddin Farid, who heads the Karachi Water and Sewerage Board, said chlorine concentration was being increased in reservoirs and supply stations as a precaution.
A health ministry statement referring to recent lab tests said 22 per cent of 913 samples drawn from water supply sources in the last three months were found to be non-chlorinated.

Big Rapids, Mich. - The Ferris State University women's basketball team hit the floor for the first time in more than two weeks and came away with a 74-62 Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) home win over visiting Findlay on Thursday (Jan. 2) night inside FSU's Jim Wink Arena.
The Bulldogs, who had not played since beating Tiffin on the road in league play on Dec. 17, fell behind 29-22 at halftime before rebounding in the second half to notch the win. The victory was the second-straight for the Bulldogs, who improved to 3-4 overall and 3-2 in the GLIAC this campaign.
Ferris State fought back from the seven-point halftime deficit quickly in the second half as FSU scored the first 15 points of the second frame to take a eight-point lead and establish control. The run was fueled by the play of sophomores Dena Droste and April Watson.
Watson opened the second half with back-to-back baskets in the post and Droste followed with three consecutive three-points before Watson closed the 15-0 run with yet another basket to give FSU a 37-29 lead less than five minutes into the second half.
From there, the Bulldogs pushed the margin to 11 points with 12 minutes to play and eventually led by as many as 14 with 4:04 remaining in earning the victory.
Droste led the Ferris State attack with a Bulldog career-high 28 points on eight-of-17 shooting. She also hit four-of-seven three's and made all eight of her free throw attempts while adding eight rebounds, two assists and two steals in the win.
Meanwhile, Watson contributed 16 points and seven rebounds to go with two assists in her best game to date as a Bulldog. She converted eight-of-nine shots from the floor.
FSU also received seven points from sophomore guard Katie Mavis in addition to five by two-time All-America guard Sarah DeShone, who had a team-high tying five assists as did junior forward Kara Hess. Sophomore center Christina Branch grabbed a game-high nine rebounds for the Bulldogs.
Ferris State hit on 47.4% of its field goal attempts and made seven-of-15 (46.7%) three's along with 13-of-16 (81.3%) free throws. They held Findlay to 32.4% shooting, which included only a nine-of-38 (23.7%) showing behind the three-point stripe in addition to a nine-of-12 (75%) effort at the line.
The Bulldogs owned a 44-33 rebounding edge for the night although Findlay came up with 13 offensive boards to 10 for FSU, which helped lead to a 9-7 advantage in second chance scoring.
The Oilers also forced 23 Bulldog turnovers to 18 of their own for a 17-16 margin in points off turnovers, but Ferris State posted an 11-7 edge in fast break production in a game that was tied only twice and had five total lead changes.
Both Lacey Kessler and Ciara Geiger had 12 points off the bench to lead the Oilers with Margaret Wuebker adding 10 points in the setback as UF fell to 5-4 overall and 2-3 in the conference standings.
The win was Ferris State's fourth in a row over the Oilers over the last three seasons and FSU improved to 11-9 all-time against Findlay with the triumph.
Ferris State will wrap up its two-game league homestand on Saturday (Jan. 4) by hosting Hillsdale inside Wink Arena. Tipoff is set for 1 p.m. (ET) and the contest will be carried live by Sunny 97.3 FM and the Bulldog Sports Network online at FerrisStateBulldogs.com.
Saturday's game will mark FSU's final home contest prior to a four-game road stretch as the Bulldogs are slated to make their two longest conference road trips of the season in back-to-back weeks.
Early Second-Half Run Lifts Bulldogs To Victory To Open The New Year

Then + Now: The Cast of 'Mrs. Doubtfire'by Michelle McGahan | PopCrush
Robin Williams' sudden and tragic death has left millions reeling, mourning the loss of an immensely talented actor, comedic genius, and a man we all saw as a friend. In our remembrance of the beloved star, we are looking back at one of his most iconic roles as Mrs. Euphegenia Doubtfire, the cherished housekeeper with one seriously wicked sense of humor. The movie not only holds a special place in our hearts, but in the hearts of millions of fans, all looking to seek comfort in the Williams films they loved most.
Take a look at the cast of 'Mrs. Doubtfire' then, now, and the 20+ years in between.
Robin Williams (Daniel Hillard/Mrs. Doubtfire)
Then: By the time "Uncle Frank and Aunt Jack" transformed Robin Williams' Daniel Hilliard into the firecracker that was Mrs. Doubtfire, the actor had already established himself as bonafide talent, with scene-stealing turns in 'Mork and Mindy,' 'Dead Poets Society,' 'Hook' and 'Aladdin.' Following 'Doubtfire,' for the rest of the decade Williams continued to warm our hearts in classics like 'Jumanji,' 'The Birdcage,' 'Jack,' 'Flubber,' 'Good Will Hunting' (for which he won an Academy Award), 'Patch Adams' and 'Bicentennial Man.'
Now: In the 2000s, Williams continued to star in countless films, including 'One Hour Photo,' 'Night at the Museum,' 'Happy Feet' and many, many more, entertaining the millions and millions of fans he had amassed worldwide over the years. Shortly before his death, Williams had checked into rehab to maintain his sobriety after having struggled with alcohol and drug addition in the past. The world truly lost a legend when Williams committed suicide on Aug. 11, 2014. He is survived by his three children, all of whom have spoken out about their late father, and his third wife, Susan Schneider, who hopes that her late husband's memory lives on in his work.
Though Williams went on to play many more iconic parts after 'Doubtfire,' his adoration of the "hip old granny who can hip-hop [and] be-bop" never faded. Throughout the years, Williams continued to pay tribute to Mrs. Doubtfire, including in his role as the Genie in the third 'Aladdin' movie (in a hilarious clip that you can watch here), in a 2013 appearance on 'Letterman,' and even in reference to Kim Kardashian's floral print gown at the Met Ball.
Sally Field (Miranda Hillard)
Then: Sally Field first zoomed into our hearts as the lovable 'Flying Nun,' but quickly earned significant praise for her work in dramatic roles, including her turn as the titular character in 'Norma Rae,' for which she won her first Academy Award in 1979. In 'Doubtfire,' Field once again showed off her comedic chops ("The whole time?!") as Williams' ex-wife Miranda, who divorces her husband and then unknowingly hires him to be their kids' nanny and housekeeper.
Now: Field has gone on to receive countless accolades for her acting, including multiple Academy Awards and nominations. Since 'Doubtfire,' some of her most famous roles include starring parts in 'Forrest Gump,' 'The Amazing Spider-Man' and 'Lincoln.' And here are two fun facts: Did you know that Sally Field was the voice of Sassy in 'Homeward Bound' and also had a singing part in the third 'Little Mermaid' movie? True story.
Lisa Jakub (Lydia Hillard)
Then: Lisa Jakub played the oldest Hillard daughter, Lydia, who at first resented Mrs. Doubtfire but quickly grew to love her, especially as soon as her dad let her in on the whole secret. Post-'Doubtfire,' Jakub had another significant role in 'Independence Day' before quitting acting in 2001.
Now: Happily married since 2005, Jakub is now a writer, blogger and yoga enthusiast. Her first memoir, 'You Look Like That Girl,' is set to be published next year. And for all of you 'Doubtfire' fans, Jakub recently revealed (via a Reddit AMA) that director Chris Columbus first introduced Williams-as-Mrs.-Doubtfire as his mom — and she had no idea it was really him. After Williams' death, she also took to her blog to share one striking memory she had with the late actor.
Matthew Lawrence (Chris Hillard)
Then: Matthew was not only the middle Lawrence brother, he was also the middle child in the Hillard family, playing Williams' son Chris in the film — best known for dancing on tables to 'Jump Around' and accidentally exposing his dad's surprising secret.
Now: Lawrence went on to become a serious hottie as Shawn's half-brother Jack in the later seasons of 'Boy Meets World.' He has been acting steadily since (in films like 2004's 'The Hot Chick') and recently made several appearances on his brother Joey's ABC Family sitcom 'Melissa & Joey.'
Mara Wilson (Natalie Hillard)
Then: Mara Wilson played the role of Nattie, Williams' youngest daughter, in 'Doubtfire,' maintaining that adorable wide-eyed innocence throughout the film. Of course, Wilson soon went on to play the titular character in 'Matilda,' her most well-known role to date.
Now: Though Wilson quit film acting after 2001, she has since become a writer and has maintained a pretty thorough online presence, especially through Twitter and her blog. In 2013, she did an interview with MTV for the 20th anniversary of 'Doubtfire,' and revealed that her character would probably have grown up and gone to art school or become a veterinarian. (P.S.: She and Lisa Jakub are still close and still treat each other like big-sis/little-sis.)
Pierce Brosnan (Stu Dunmyer)
Then: Already well-known for his role as the titular character on 'Remmington Steele,' Pierce Brosnan waltzed into 'Doubtfire' as Stuart 'Stu' Dunmeyer, Miranda's old-turned-new flame and the bane of Daniel/Mrs. Doubtfire's existence. Stu may have been "more of a thick soup than a name, really," but not Brosnan, who later became synonymous with his role as James Bond in several of the franchise's films.
Now: Brosnan, Pierce Brosnan, has continued his career in the spotlight, with starring roles in films like 'Mamma Mia!,' 'The Ghost Writer,' 'Remember Me,' and dozens of others. And just in case you need some clarification that he's still unbelievably dashing, just take a look at the above picture on the right. Man is like a fine wine.
Robert Prosky (Jonathan Lundy)
Then: Prior to his role as Daniel's boss Mr. Lundy in 'Doubtfire,' Robert Prosky was a critically acclaimed stage actor, garnering over 100 credits to his name in the theater. In 1993, the same year as 'Doubtfire' was released, he scored a turn in the football classic 'Rudy.' And a year after that, he reunited with his 'Doubtfire' co-star Mara Wilson for the remake of 'Miracle on 34th Street.'
Now: Prosky continued to act up until his death, with roles in films like 'Dead Man Walking' and 'The Scarlet Letter,' as well as on television as a regular on 'Veronica's Closet.' He passed away in 2008, just several days short of his 78th birthday.
Anne Haney (Mrs. Sellner)
Then: Anne Haney played uptight social worker Mrs. Sellner in 'Doubtfire,' unimpressed with Daniel's character voices but all about Mrs. Doubtfire's nightly meringue mask. A few years later she would go on to play Jim Carrey's secretary Greta in 'Liar, Liar,' another of her most well-known roles.
Now: Though Haney had amassed dozens of credits to her name prior to and after 'Doubtfire,' her role as Mrs. Sellner remained one of her most famous and beloved. Sadly, Haney passed away in 2001 due to heart failure. She was 67.

Clean Car Standards - Pavley, Assembly Bill 1493

On September 24, 2009, the ARB adopted amendments to the "Pavley" regulations that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in new passenger vehicles from 2009 through 2016. These amendments are part of California's commitment toward a nation-wide program to reduce new passenger vehicle GHGs from 2012 through 2016. ARB's September amendments will cement California's enforcement of the Pavley rule starting in 2009 while providing vehicle manufacturers with new compliance flexibility. The amendments will also prepare California to harmonize its rules with the federal rules for passenger vehicles.
The U.S. EPA granted California the authority to implement GHG emission reduction standards for new passenger cars, pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles On June 30, 2009.
The first California request to implement GHG standards for passenger vehicles, known as a waiver request, was made in December 2005 and was denied by the U.S. EPA in March 2008. That decision was based on a finding that California's request to reduce GHG emissions from passenger vehicles did not meet the Clean Air Act requirement of showing that the waiver was needed to meet "compelling and extraordinary conditions."
The ARB's Board originally approved regulations to reduce GHGs from passenger vehicles in September 2004, with the regulations to take effect in 2009. These regulations were authorized by the 2002 legislation Assembly Bill 1493 (Pavley).
The regulations had been threatened by automaker lawsuits and were stalled by the U.S. EPA's delay in reviewing and then initially denying California's waiver request. The parties involved entered a May 19, 2009 agreement to resolve these issues. With the granting of the waiver on June 30, 2009, it is expected that the Pavley regulations will reduce GHG emissions from California passenger vehicles by about 22 percent in 2012 and about 30 percent in 2016, all while improving fuel efficiency and reducing motorists' costs.
ARB has adopted a new approach to passenger vehicles – cars and light trucks – by combining the control of smog-causing pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions into a single coordinated package of standards. The new approach also includes efforts to support and accelerate the numbers of plug-in hybrids and zero-emission vehicles in California. Find out more on the Advanced Clean Cars web portal.

Watch Channing Tatum + Jonah Hill Discuss Their Infamous 'Penis-Kissing' Bet [VIDEO]by Michelle McGahan | PopCrush
Remember that time Channing Tatum revealed that he and his '22 Jump Street' co-star Jonah Hill once made a bet that involved the 'Wolf of Wall Street' star getting a little too up close and personal with Tatum? Well, here's a refresher.
The hilarious co-stars stopped by 'Conan' last night, and the redheaded host couldn't resist asking about that infamous bet — which all started back in 2012, over '21 Jump Street's' opening weekend box office numbers.
As Tatum tells it:
"If your movie breaks 30 million, you've had a very, very good weekend. Jonah thought that [21 Jump Street] was just going to break 30, and I thought that it was going to break 35. And Jonah said, 'If it breaks 35, I will kiss the tip of your dick,'" he explained.
"Over the boxers," Hill clarified. "I said, 'Over the boxers.' I think that's a key piece of fabric for the story," he said, laughing.
"Actually, the real key is that I won that bet," Tatum countered.
So, have the stars followed through with their X-rated bet? Watch the video above to find out!

By Arthur B. Foye ^^^^ Managing Partner, 1946-1956 The world of industry and finance allots marks to a man for enterprise, for activity and energy, for administrative skill, for the power of oral and written expression, and for professional merits. This is especially true when the time is propitious and the opportunity open, and the man has the right background of education. As to the latter, Nicholas Murray Butler, the former president of Columbia University, once said: "These are the five characteristics I offer as evidence of an education: correctness and precision in the use of the mother tongue, refined and gentle manners which are the expression of fixed habits of thought and action, the power and habit of reflection, the power of growth and efficiency of the power to do." Similarly Bandolph Bourne, the social critic, said: "Interest and skill in one's work, an acquaintance with the contemporary world, an alert intelligence which is always seeking to diminish the area of things human that are alien to one—a man with this would be truly educated." John W. Queenan would have high marks from the economic and professional worlds, and he has in very great measure the characteristics described by Nicholas Murray Butler and Randolph Bourne. The times were propitious. During his formative years until his coming to Haskins & Sells in 1927, the United States had changed from a debtor to a creditor nation, and had emerged as a great world power deeply involved in world affairs—military, economic, social and political. The gross national product in 1927 was beginning to grow rapidly as were the great corporate entities. The profession of accountancy was ready for expansion of activities and growth in numbers. It was still divided between the American Society of Certified Public Accountants and the American Institute of Accountants. The total number of certified public accountants in 1927 was less than 10,000 (compared with more than 100,000 today). The Firm itself was thirty years old with a record of high professional and ethical standards and a reputation for fine work and service to clients. In it new technical procedures were being established under the direction of John R. Wildman, who brought John Queenan into the organization and who helped guide and develop the aspiring young accountant. The Firm had 29 partners and 37 offices with a gross of only one fifteenth of that of 1969-1970. Mr. Queenan came into this picture with an excellent academic background. Born January 11, 1906 in Aurora, Illinois, he earned his degree in accountancy at the University of Illinois. When he sat for the CPA examination in Illinois in 1931, he received the Gold Medal Award of the Illinois Society of Certified Public Accountants for achieving the highest grades. Recently it was announced that he will be given the Illini Achievement Award at the commencement exercises at Urbana in June 1970. He spent fifteen months in the Technical Procedures Department of the Executive Office assisting Mr. Wildman, who, recognizing John Queenan's potentialities, felt that he should have some practice office experience and asked him to go to the Newark Office in October 1928. In 1930, because of the serious illness of his widowed

His constant walking isn't by choice. William Senne's driver's license was suspended in 2011, when he was indicted on a charge of motor vehicle homicide in the death of a state trooper whose car he slammed into eight years earlier while driving drunk.
Trooper Ellen Engelhardt suffered severe brain damage in 2003 after Senne, then 18, hit her parked cruiser in the breakdown lane of Route 25 in Wareham. At 50, Engelhardt was left in a permanent vegetative state, unable to walk or talk. She died in 2011.
In 2005, six years before Englehardt's death, Senne pleaded guilty to causing bodily injury while driving drunk and to reckless endangerment. He served 2½ years at the Plymouth County House of Correction....
But now, Senne faces a vehicular homicide charge stemming from Englehardt's June 1, 2011, death. Prosecutors took the unusual step of seeking the vehicular homicide indictment even though he had pleaded guilty to a lesser charge before Englehardt died....
The threat of a 15-year sentence for vehicular homicide terrifies Senne, who, if he weren't at his desk wearing a crisp, white shirt and red striped tie, could still pass as a teenager. After years of silence about the accident, Senne agreed to talk to the Globe about that night, his life in the years after, and his decision in 2005 to plead guilty, a choice that could play a central role in his upcoming trial.
A night 10 years ago
Ellen Engelhardt was one of the first women to serve on the State Police force, and she was the first female trooper to lose her life in the line of duty. A fit woman with a constant smile, she joined the force in 1981, when male cadets at the State Police Academy outnumbered females 15 to 1, and she quickly became a leader.
At her funeral at St. Christine's Catholic Church in Marshfield, colleagues spoke of her love for her job and the force.
She and her longtime boyfriend, fellow trooper and State Police Lieutenant Richard Teves, had lived together for several years at the time of the crash.
At 6 a.m. on Saturday, July 26, 2003, Engelhardt had pulled off Route 25 in Wareham to examine a guardrail as part of an investigation into an earlier accident.
She had only been back to work for two months, after spending seven months recovering from serious injuries when her cruiser was struck by a drunk driver in South Yarmouth the previous October.
Senne, known as Billy to family and friends, was driving back to his job teaching sailing lessons on Cape Cod when his car smashed into Engelhardt's at nearly 100 miles per hour.
In a recent interview, Senne spoke of that night and the "really bad decisions" he made that would alter the lives of all involved.
That summer, after graduating high school and looking forward to attending Roger Williams University in the fall, Senne taught sailing lessons while living at his family's vacation home on Cape Cod. It was a Friday night, and he'd had a few beers with friends at the house.
At about 9 p.m., a girl from high school called Senne, a girl on whom he'd had "a big-time crush." She asked him to come to Wayland. He got in the car, a decision he says he will always regret.
"I'd been working all day out in the hot sun," he recalls. "I was tired when I got in the car."
Senne spent several hours at the Wayland party, and at about 4 a.m. he got in the car and started back to the Cape.
"I didn't have a drop to drink at the Wayland party," he maintains. "Nothing."
Nevertheless, prosecutors said that four hours after the crash, Senne had a .05 percent blood-alcohol level. Under Massachusetts law, the limit for those under 21 is less than .02 percent.
Senne says he has no recollection of the crash. He said he'd been awake nearly 24 hours before falling asleep at the wheel of his father's Volvo. He got a cut lip and fractured cheekbone in the crash.
Someone helped him out of the car.
"I remember going to the guardrail and thinking, 'Oh, my God, what happened here?' Then I got to the hospital and started overhearing things," Senne says. "I started to put it together and realized, 'Oh, my God, I hurt somebody.' "
Engelhardt, in a coma, was initially treated at Boston Medical Center, then sent to the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, known for treating people with severe brain injuries. She never improved. She was transferred to a skilled nursing facility in Middleborough in 2004, where she died seven years later.
At the time of the crash, Senne had three speeding citations on his record, and in 2003, before the crash, he was arrested by Wayland police for having an unopened 30-pack of beer in his car.
He was 19 when he was sent to Plymouth, a maximum security facility, for the Engelhardt crash.
Released from jail in 2007, Senne, then 22, was put on five years probation and required to perform 500 hours of community service. He chose Accelerated Cure Project, a Waltham nonprofit searching for a cure for multiple sclerosis.
Haunted by a guilty plea
Senne pleaded guilty in 2005 to causing bodily injury while driving drunk, he says, because he felt it was "the right thing" to do. "The point was never to fight this," he said. "I did something really wrong, and I needed to do something about it."
In court that day, he apologized to Engelhardt's loved ones. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry," Senne said in a halting voice. "I spend so much time thinking that there is nothing in this world I'd rather do than go back in time and fix it."
Senne's lawyer for that plea, Paul V. Kelly, told reporters at the time that the teenager wanted to allow "the healing process" to begin for both families.
Kelly maintained that Senne was not drunk at the time of the crash, but had fallen asleep at the wheel.
And yet, speaking recently in his small Cambridge office, Senne said he didn't realize there were circumstances under which he could be prosecuted again years later for the accident.
"If I had known I was going to be reprosecuted, I never would have pleaded guilty," Senne says. "Who in their right mind would plead guilty knowing it would be used against them later?"
Senne's parents divorced when he was in high school. In November 2004, his father had a brain aneurysm and was hospitalized during his son's legal woes.
Peter Senne recalls that his son's plea "was a done deal" by the time he recovered.
"Certainly this decision was not necessarily the best one," he says, "not with what they're adding."
Legal experts say Senne's situation is a rare one.
David Rossman, who teaches criminal procedure and directs the criminal law clinic at the Boston University School of Law, says such cases are most likely to occur in an assault, where the victim lingers before dying.
Nevertheless, Rossman says, double jeopardy doesn't come into play in the Senne case because there are two different crimes alleged.
"The facts necessary to convict him of manslaughter didn't exist at the time of the previous crime," said Rossman.
Senne's earlier plea, Rossman said, can be admitted into evidence at the upcoming trial. "The prosecution can let the jury know that the defendant was convicted of, or pleaded guilty to, the earlier charge, that he did something that could have caused the death later on."
But Rossman said the prosecution could choose not to introduce the prior plea.
"They might not want the jury to know because the jury could figure he's already served 2½ years, and there's the tough question of whether he caused the death," he said. "So they might ask, why should he be punished again?"
Stephen Weymouth, a lawyer in private practice in Boston, said he has never heard of a similar case involving a car crash.
"What the government is going to have to show, even through the passage of eight years, is that the death was directly caused by the actions of the defendant in 2003," Weymouth said. "Whether or not a jury would buy that is a totally different question."
Plymouth District Attorney Timothy Cruz will not comment on pending cases. Cruz was the district attorney in 2005, and he sought 8 to 10 years for Senne on the earlier charge. When the teenager was sentenced to 2½ years in prison, Cruz voiced his disappointment.
"There are no winners," the DA said at the time. "Everybody loses in this instance."
Bridget Norton Middleton, Cruz's spokeswoman, agrees that delayed prosecutions are rare, but said Cruz has prosecuted one other, which involved an assault.
"There was a significant amount of time between the event and the death of the victim" in the assault case, Middleton said. "And the defendant was convicted of an assault crime and then, once the victim died, was ultimately charged with manslaughter and was convicted."
Senne's lawyer on the latest charge, Daniel O'Malley of Quincy, declined to comment.
After release, a new start
After he was released from Plymouth in 2007, Senne enrolled in night classes at Boston College. The oldest of four children, he says his parents sacrificed financially to cover his legal fees, and so he sought a way to help pay his college costs.
While Senne was at BC, he earned a real estate license and started working part time at Century 21, first in residential rentals, then residential sales.
In spring of 2009, his junior year, he opened his own agency, Point Plus Realty, and was able to cover his last 2½ years of tuition, rent, and food.
The business has thrived. Senne is proud of his 20 full-time employees and feels responsible for them. "This is a career place," he said. "People here are ambitious and they have bills to pay."
With the business growing, he has been looking for more office space. Since the indictment, he can no longer get a bank loan.
"He has a great business plan for the future, but because of the charge against him, we're stuck," says sales associate Jane Follansbee. "There's only so much you can plan for. I know he feels personally bad about it, but it's not his fault that we can't get a loan, and we're rallying behind him."
But Senne knows that not everyone feels that way.
After Engelhardt died in 2011, the online commenters were brutal.
"I think people should harass Senne every time they see him," one person wrote in response to a Globe story about Engelhardt's death. Other sentiments were unprintable. One day, a man called Senne's office and asked an agent: "How does it feel to be working for a murderer?"
"There's no sympathy for someone who did what I did, and I don't have sympathy for myself," Senne said. "I destroyed her life, and those around her. I'm no less sorry than the day I did it, but at some point, there has to be an end to it."
Senne feels he has taken responsibility for his actions and, in the years since, has tried to be a productive citizen. He doesn't shy away from telling prospective employees and clients about his past, when he feels it's necessary.
"It's part of who I am," he said.
Insurance companies for Senne and for his father, whose car Senne was driving, settled a multimillion dollar lawsuit with Engelhardt's family.
Engelhardt's only child, Lora Tedeman, had sued for $6.2 million to help with her mother's care.
Senne's father, now retired, founded and advised various start-ups, and later was an executive in the healthcare industry. The family still owns the house on Bassetts Island off Bourne, which has only five other homes.
Peter Senne questions why Cruz, the Plymouth district attorney, brought the vehicular homicide charge.
Marian McGovern, superintendent of the State Police until her retirement in July, was a cadet with Engelhardt, and the two were close friends. When Engelhardt died, McGovern told the Globe that her staff would confer with the district attorney's office about possibly filing new charges.
McGovern could not be reached for comment, but State Police spokesman David Procopio said the force supports the indictment.
"There is not a day that, in some way, large or small, someone on this job does not remember Trooper Engelhardt, how she lived, and how she died," he said. "The taking of another life is the most severe crime, and a person whose choices and actions bring that about should be held accountable to a level commensurate with the circumstances and magnitude of that loss."
When do the war crimes trials for Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Clinton, Obama, et al, begin?
Teves, Engelhardt's longtime boyfriend who also served as her family's spokesman, said neither he nor Tedeman of Plymouth pushed for the indictment.
"As far as we were concerned, we weren't going to get anymore than what had already been adjudicated by the court," says Teves, who married in 2007 and stays in touch with Tedeman. "He pleaded guilty, it saved us from a trial, and Ellen's gone. What more can we hope for from any further punishment? We don't see the need to live in the past."
Tedeman did not return repeated calls from the Globe on the matter.
Senne knows how serious the new charge is. "I'm terrified," he says. "This has the potential to destroy what I look at as years of trying to live a good life out of respect for the pain I've caused.
"I could have very easily given up, picked up bad habits, and moved out of state. I was on the low road and I tried to figure out what the high road was. I work hard, I don't drink or do drugs, I stay out of trouble, I'm a good guy, and now it's all put in jeopardy by this charge."

I feel like I am beginning to repeat myself a little, because each ad campaign I have done this year feels like one of those dream jobs. This one for Washington Healthplanfinder was no exception. With Obamacare rolling out I got to work with the folks at GMMB on this hilarious ad campaign. If these images don't convince you to get yourself some health insurance, I don't know what will.
The first shoot (the seagull attack) took place on our own private ferry at 4:30am on a beautiful Sunday. It was maybe one of the coolest things I have done on a shoot. Drifting around in the Puget Sound at sunrise. Beautiful!
The next shoot was a 4:00am call time, which feels so early to me! Not a morning person, but the show must go on. The skateboard crash was the hardest and most technical of all the shots. Although my assistants might disagree since I have no idea how they managed a 12×12 and two 7 ft. softboxes on a windy ferry.
The roofing accident shot was at the end of a very long 12 hour day, but it was so fun. The talent with the nail gun, Gabriel, had us all dying with his dialog. I like to give people scenarios to work with when shooting this type of work. I find it helps me work through the situation, and also helps the talent get into character and make the image more believable. There are a lot of little details to think about on a shot like the roofing accident. What are these guys doing? What is happening on and off camera that I want the viewer to think about? Are the interactions of the two guys on the roof believable? And so on.
So for this shot, I explained to Gabriel:
You are putting a new roof on your home before the winter hits, and your good friend is helping you because he owes you a big favor (You traded him Russell Wilson for Trent Richardson in your fantasy football league.). You are almost done with one side of the roof, when your neighbor walks by and see's you up there. He gives you a puzzled look because he knows you are not the handiest guy on the block. Hey, what the heck are you doing up there!? he yells. Gabriel looks back at his neighbor with a big smile, and says… And this is where Gabriel took over with his improv. "Oh, we roofin' man! Yeah, we roofin'!" "What's it look like we doin' up her man, we roofin'!" You might think over an hour of this might get old, but somehow it didn't. We just laughed, took pictures and, yeah, we roofin'.
Here are some of my favorite behind the scenes images from this shoot. Big thanks to my new rep Redeye, Kontent Partners (who are super amazing people, and amazing at what they do), GMMB, Gigantic Squid, Cara Aeschliman, Gregg White, and so many more. I am blessed to work with such fun people.

As a novelist, Jane Austen dealt in the little things that loom momentous in the everyday routines of an ordinary life: preparations for an outing, the choice of partners at a dance, the chance for intrigue in a game of cards. What we know of her life is drawn to the same miniature scale: small facts and slender insights hoarded, vetted, and handed down by a protective family who memorialized and effaced their famous aunt in equal measure. We have the six novels, all published in an intense seven-year period; some 160 letters, survivors from a much larger correspondence; and a little more than 1,100 pages of manuscript writings — apprentice pieces, experiments, and unfinished works — stretching over thirty years. Austen died aged 41 at the height of her powers.
There's much more that we would wish to know, and it's not impossible that new evidence might emerge to challenge our assumptions. But with the exception of Jan Fergus's important study, Jane Austen: A Literary Life (1991), biographers, instructed by the Austen family's example, have paid more attention to the personal than the professional context when it comes to drawing a life. There are good reasons for this: if Austen is glimpsed within family accounts only in the most confined of settings, she vanishes almost completely under a more public scrutiny. Henry Austen's story of his sister's refusal to meet Madame de Staël is, in its sheer perverse negativity, a quintessential Austenian biographical detail. Might we, with the help of a non-family archive, turn it around? Might a context in book production rather than the cult of domestic personality yield, for this detail and for others, something more to the purpose in tracing the life of a writer?
Fergus examined publishing house records (Longmans, Hookham and Carpenter, and John Murray) to begin to address Austen's options as a professional woman writer. The archives of the Murray publishing dynasty, now housed in the National Library of Scotland, are among the most extensive in the British book trade. John Murray II was Austen's second publisher, bringing out Emma, a second edition of Mansfield Park, and the posthumous Northanger Abbey and Persuasion. Murray II's Sales Subscription Books, Commission Ledgers, and Copies Ledgers offer evidence, now widely disseminated thanks to Fergus and to David Gilson's Bibliography of Jane Austen (1982; corrected edition, 1997), for production costs, sales, and profits of those novels Austen published with him. The John Murray Archive also contains well-known items of more personal note: a few letters from Austen to Murray, two more letters, less well-known, sent after Austen's death, by her sister Cassandra, the copy of a cheque made out to Miss Jane Austin (sic). What if the Archive holds more?
Since working on the differences between the first- and second-edition printings of Mansfield Park, I've had a hunch that William Gifford, editor of Murray's Quarterly Review and his regular advisor, might be more significant than we've realized in Austen's career as published novelist. Austen acknowledged him in the dubious context of her burlesque 'Plan of a Novel' and critics have regularly quoted Gifford's few Austen-related snippets abridged in Samuel Smiles's Victorian biography of John Murray II (A Publisher and His Friends, 2nd edition, 1891). But Gifford's wider correspondence with Murray has remained largely ignored. His papers have scarcely been touched.
Gifford's crabbed handwriting, the classification-defying range of the topics covered in each letter, the sheer size of the Archive, are all sufficient deterrents.
But this too might be turned to some purpose: a means to situate (as opposed to isolate) Austen, by requiring us to see things from Gifford's perspective rather than from that of family record or of the great writer she would later be recognized as being. Gifford was a key figure in Murray's modern publishing enterprise: a professional reader for the press, a man with a finger on the literary pulse of his time – a judge of good writing and of what would sell (not always the same thing).
What do we learn about Austen from Gifford's correspondence with Murray? Thanks to Gifford, we can make a case for 1814 as her annus mirabilis, as the year when she is poised to switch from Egerton to Murray. We hear her being assessed in the context of other, better- and lesser-known writers: Gifford's acerbic verdict on Helen Maria Williams as a stylist, his analysis of an unknown female writer of pulp fiction, his admiration of Mme d'Arblay (Frances Burney), the literary star of the day, and his curt rejection of Frankenstein. We learn that Murray, unsurprisingly, wanted to get his hands on Pride and Prejudice, and that Gifford suggested he pay less for the manuscript of Emma than he originally planned. We find, in fuller form than Smiles gives it, Gifford's critique of Austen's writing and his financial estimate of its worth; the beginnings of the bargaining around production costs that end in the more widely referenced accounts from the Murray Ledgers.
With such details, we add a few more to those little things that constitute our knowledge of Jane Austen. And, in shifting perspective, we locate her more securely in a contemporary professional context.

7 Things You Should Know about the Raw Food Diet
I had a lot of misconceptions about what a raw food diet should look like. I thought it had to be done at its most extreme to get the results I wanted. It took me a while, but I learned a few things that make eating raw in the real world a lot easier. r

Is Anti-Virus Dead?security
This is an interesting topic to discuss. There's still a lot of companies that enforce anti-virus procedures (and after working help desk I can see why). However, is there an actually real need for it? I proclaim not really.
Anti-virus software in itself is a scare, in that they provide "facts" (some true some fabricated) about infections and that you should install the software to stay safe. Some also bundle other features too like a firewall.
Just know what and where you browse online. If you're looking for images of kitties, and you come across a "super_adorable_kitty_sipping_milk.exe" you should know its fake. This is also where knowing how to use your operating system comes in handy. Disable the "hide extensions on files" feature if it exists.
Tor Browser Insecure?security
Not much of a shock, but there's been some news lately about how Tor Browser is not exactly that secure (http://threatpost.com/tor-browser-hardening-features-under-scrutiny/107839). Well, forks tend to deviate from the original system, which can be good or bad. Do I think this is something to be overly concerned with? Nope, not at all. How many of us use Tor Browser to deliever leaked wires or anything of that nature, after all?
Netflix Open Sources Toolssecurity
Netflix has opensourced some of their network monitoring tools (http://techblog.netflix.com/2014/08/announcing-scumblr-and-sketchy-search.html). While htere's a plethora of them available its nice to see how Netflix handles security issues themselves. The fact they built in-house tools just goes to show that there's no tool for everyone.
Key Pinning in Firefoxsecurity
Slashdot has posted an article about how Firefox, in version 32, is going to support key pinning. This essentially is public key authentication for websites. Firefox will ship with a list of known websites and their key signature/public key. This is to help reduce the risk of man in the middle and fraudulent certificates. Though, its not going to support every website and I'd be interested to see how far key pinning actually is taken.
5 Languages for the Next Yearssecurity
As someone who is looking to start really breaking into the software engineering/programming field, this is a must read article. Which, most don't surprise me (web 2.0 movement and everything around me needing PHP).
Python Better than Java?security
While its more objectionable than anything, the statistics still prove that Python is getting more love than Java now. Which makes sense. I wouldn't have been surprised if it would Ruby, but Python has more English-based syntax, which makes it easier for beginner programmers to work with.
PHP with formal specsecurity
This will make projects that branch off of PHP still maintain compatibility (as much as possible) with one of the most well-known server scripting languages out there, PHP.
User-mode kernel code??security
Its finally possible! At least in Python.
KPlugs (http://www.kplugs.org/) is a Python module that allows people to access data inside of the kernel itself, usually unheard of unless you write a crafted module or other driver.
The security aspects of this is interesting, and I haven't really looked at it enough to tell if its actually safe to use in practical purposes, but its still an interesting tool to use. Especially with the rise of scripting languages and yet not being able to run them beyond user level, this could potentially lead to a better advantage in making that happen.
Encrypted Persistencesecurity
This isn't old technology, in that persistence has been around for a good few years, but now Kali Linux is offering it in encrypted form.
Persistence in this from is basically a way for live USB-ran distros to keep data that was created/modified while running from the USB. While I never use this feature, it is nice to have if you're an on-the-go kind of person. The added feature of encryption has been long over due and one of the reasons I have never used persistence to begin with.
XSS Gamesecurity
Google has released an XSS game to showcase what and how XSS (cross site scripting) works. You can view it here: https://xss-game.appspot.com/ and its pretty fun, actually. Reminds me a lot of WebGoat but a lot less intense.

Before applying any dressing, you should wash and dry your hands, and wear disposable surgical gloves if you have them.
Wash and dry your hands before applying any dressing, and wear disposable surgical gloves if you have them.
Sterile (hygienic) dressing pads come in a protective wrapping. Once out of the wrapping, they're no longer sterile.
When applying one:
If the wound is severe, you may need to go to a minor injuries unit after applying the dressing.
If you can't stop the bleeding, go to your nearest accident and emergency (A&E) department as soon as possible.
Plasters are made from a piece of gauze and have a sticky (adhesive) backing. They're usually wrapped in single sterile packs.
They sometimes come in different shapes and sizes, or you can cut them to size. Some plasters are waterproof.
Plasters should be replaced every time they get dirty or wet, or if the blood soaks through.
A small number of people are allergic to the adhesive strips – ask them if this is the case before applying a plaster.

This is the castle in Loveland, Ohio that's about an hour and a half away from Cincinnati, 45 minutes from where I live. I've been there several times, and it really is quite cool, but not exactly realistic. It was made by one man who hauled all the rocks (with the exception of when boy scouts came, whoever lost a game (took apart a puzzle and couldn't put it back together, etc.), they had to haul a bucket from the Little Miami River). Several parts weren't "accurate" such as the doorways not having a center stone on the arch, and the ramparts being unstable to the point of visitors not being allowed to walk on them. It really is a great example of how medieval life of nobles worked. We came on a hot day, around 90* Fahrenheit, and it was easily 65* in the castle dungeon, the rest being around 70*. I recommend it to anyone in the Ohio area. Here's a link to the castle website: http://www.lovelandcastle.com/
There is also a quite nice selection of medieval weaponry; for instance, a dirk for, what, $20? Liam knows, I think. Liam, if you read this, tell me how much it costs for one of them. Plenty of swords, too, which we had a look at. Don't know the price, but I think one of them was $80. Definitely a good time. And a cool story that the smelly Scotsman will tell you while giving you the grand tour.
Oh, forgot to mention, there's something really cool.... In Cincinnati, the city was tearing down an old Cathedral, while one of the Knights of the Golden Trail was driving by, and, as luck would have it, he stopped by to check what was going on, and found an old Archbishop's seat about to be trashed. He took it, and brought it back to the castle. It is said to be more valuable than the entire castle.

Amur diesel submarines (photo : Rubin)
Russia began to Vietnam to offer an upgraded version of the Kilo class submarines - Amur, this submarine is well suited for patrolling and fighting in the East Vietnam Sea.
According to analysts, if Vietnam could buy a fleet of Amur submarines, submarine forces of Vietnam will truly become a powerful force in the region.
Amur class submarines can also be equipped with missiles launched from submarines to attack ground targets, so it can fully protect all targets on the coast and the islands of the East Vietnam Sea South. Vietnam Navy can be a powerful force in the water in the South China Sea.
According to the Shanghai newspaper said Deputy Director of Military Technology Cooperation Russian design bureau that Ruby started looking for the export market for Amur diesel-electric submarines of the Russian. Being version submarine's inland with a number of submarines Lada in Russian Navy, the formation of the a force new combat underwater.
Deputy director of defense export company Rosoboronexport said Victor Komar said that Russia is committed to strengthening military cooperation and technology with countries in the Asia-Pacific region, especially in some Southeast Asian countries, Russia is considered the greatest potential for arms export market.
With Amur - 1650 Vietnam will help protect the most perfect national sovereignty of islands.
Victor Komar said that the 'partner in Southeast Asia, most importantly, Vietnam, Russia Vietnam is considered one of the most important consumers of defense. Vietnam has ordered six submarines from Russia's Design Bureau 'Ruby' development, submarine factory is located in St Petersburg, is expected to begin transfer operations in 2014.
There Amur submarines, Vietnam will be deployed in the South China Sea, a very intimidating force under water.
However, Vietnam can not simply take six Kilo class submarines. Mr. Komar said: 'Vietnam Navy they needed a fighting strength of higher than submarine Kilo urgent and must be set up in six or seven years, they can not just rely on the Kilo submarines. According to analysts, if Vietnam could buy a fleet of Amur submarines, submarine forces of Vietnam will truly become a powerful force in the region '.
The Russian defense export company is actively working contacts with Vietnam. To end this agreement, the company said that Russia will play the Amur submarines, while Vietnam's shipbuilding enterprises involved in the project can produce submarines.
Russia not only design but also give joint cooperation in the production process and provide training for Vietnam and some submarine building technology advanced.

Sochi Olympics' biggest winners not found on medal stand
SOCHI– The biggest winners of the 2014 Winter Olympics weren't just found on the medal stand. Whether they were tweeting about wolf hoaxes, #sochiproblems and bacon gold medals or just posting selfies on Instagram from all over the Olympic venues, a bunch of athletes became even bigger stars on social media.
"I knew when I posted that photo I'd probably get a couple of retweets, a couple of funny comments," U.S. bobsledder Johnny Quinn said. "But nothing to the extent of what has happened."
One day after the opening ceremony, Quinn tweeted out a photo of his broken hotel bathroom door, which he had to smash a hole in after he became locked inside. The tweet ended up receiving over 29,000 retweets. It also got him his own invitation to join a police SWAT team in Denton, Texas as well as an Internet meme where people tweeted photos of themselves breaking through various objects.
OLYMPICS:Ceremony director makes fun of malfunction
MORE:Freeskiing gets easy intro in Sochi
While Quinn was trying to extricate himself, Sage Kotsenburg was winning the gold medal in snowboarding slopestyle. That performance was certainly impressive, but his Twitter feed the two weeks afterward might have been even more stellar.
In addition to introducing the word "spoice" into the public realm, Kotsenburg tweeted out his desire to get a medal made out of bacon (and then the photo of the result he was delivered during his appearance on Conan), retweets of congratulations from Kobe Bryant, Metallica and visits to The Tonight Show and "Andy Coops" on CNN. If Fast Times at Ridgemont High's Jeff Spicoli had been a snowboarder instead of a surfer, this Twitter feed would've been his ultimate dream sequence.
Kotsenberg wasn't the only snowboarder stealing hearts on social media. Russian snowboarder Alexey Sobolev received more than 2,000 texts after putting his phone number on the back of his helmet during a qualifying rounds. Some of which included attachments of some rather racy photos.
"It's really boring in the Olympic Village, you know?" Sobolev said at the time.
PHOTOS: Faces of American victory in Sochi
But the athlete who really made followers swoon was ski slopestyle silver medalist Gus Kenworthy, who posted a photo taken of himself sleeping with both his medal and one of the Sochi stray puppies he's adopting draped on his chest. After tweeting with Miley Cyrus days earlier, of course.
Kenworthy's dogs weren't the only canines causing a ruckus on Twitter. American luger Kate Hansen caused a stir when she tweeted out a video of a "wolf in my hall" last week. After the clip went viral, Hansen admitted that it was part of a prank she pulled with late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel. U.S. Luge officials were not as amused.
"There was a little more backlash than I thought there would be," Hansen told Kimmel on the show via Skype. "But it was all worth it in the end."
Even pro athletes who had a strong preexisting social media presence saw their performance at the games improve their Klout scores significantly. St. Louis Blues center T.J. Oshie received 130,000 new followers in the hour after his four-goal shootout performance lifted the U.S. men's hockey team to a win over Russia.
And if their stellar reviews as ice skating commentators didn't get NBC execs thinking about hiring Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir to host their own daytime talk show, perhaps the duo's outstanding Instagram feed might. The account, @taraandjohnny, featured regular videos and photos of the former Olympians announcing their outfits, spooning in their hotel room and even engaging in a passionate duet of Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart."
By the end of the Olympics, they'd picked up over 16,000 followers in just over three weeks.
