Chris Brown due to return to court in assault case
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Chris Brown is scheduled to return to a Los Angeles courtroom for the first time in more than a year amid questions about his community service.

The R&B singer is on probation for the 2009 beating of his then-girlfriend Rihanna and had been ordered to perform six months' worth of community service, including graffiti removal, roadside cleanup and other manual labor.
Brown has completed his terms with praise from a judge, but a prosecutor raised concerns about how many hours he had completed. An audit of his community service was ordered in July.

With the holiday out of the way, Kenai Peninsula anglers should be able to look forward to a weekend fewer crowds and, hopefully, more fish.
Runs are starting to show signs of life.
While as of Tuesday only 48 kings have passed the weir on the Anchor River since counts began on May 12, in the last few days daily counts have gone from 0-3 fish to 8-10 a day.
Word on the salt is that trolling for kings has improved.
Scott Miller, of Trustworthy Hardware, said closer to Homer the fishing was picking up, but lagged as anglers moved northward.
"I heard for kings there was a pretty good bite off Bluff Point coming up toward Anchor Point," he said "Farther south they've been doing pretty good. It's been spotty in Ninilichik."
Steve McClure, of McClure's Guide Service, had a similar tale, saying the bigger kings were closer to Homer, while farther north people were getting mainly feeder kings.
McClure said he went out of Deep Creek without much luck last week.
"It's definitely been a tougher than normal year," he said.
The minus tides over the weekend probably weren't helping either.
He was optimistic about the coming week though, saying, "I did hear a shot of fish came through Monday. That's the first time I've heard of multiple boats doing pretty good."
He said the bites been strongest in 28 to 32 feet of water either first thing in the morning or two to three hours before or after the tide.
For gear he said, "It's definitely been a herring bite. There seems to be a pretty big mix between guys using lead and herring or flashers and herring. That's pretty much a standard."
Between tides, many anglers have found success chasing halibut.
Mel Erickson, of Alaskan Gamefisher, said he finally hit it big this weekend, landing his clients a 125 pounder, one in the 60-pound range and a few in the 40s.
Erickson said he thinks the bigger fish have finally arrived.
Miller agreed, saying he'd heard similar reports.
"Halibut fishing has really picked up a lot over the last few weeks and the tides are looking good at the end of the week," he said.
Reports indicate the fishing's been good close to shore too, meaning anglers don't have to run out as far.
Fishing on the Kenai has improved as well, with reports of several kings making it to the boat over the weekend.
Sonar counts, which began May 16, have shown a steady stream of 35-45 fish comning in over the past few days. As of Tuesday, 510 early run kings had been recorded by the sonar so far.

Former three division champ Joan Guzman says he is ready to move on with his career, beginning with an October 15 bout in his hometown of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic against an opponent to be named. The bout will be promoted by his own outfit JG Boxing Entertainment, which he runs alongside manager Jose Nunez, with the contracted weight at 145 pounds.
While the 35-year-old Guzman may be undefeated in the ring, his public image has taken a beating after failing to make weight in his last two bouts. After serving an eight-month suspension levied on him for testing positive for the diuretic Furosemide following a voided bout with Jason Davis in December 2010, Guzman (30-1, 19 KO) promises to get his career back on track. That begins with making weight.
"People know my problem," said Guzman, who was at the Aviator Sports Complex in Brooklyn Saturday night checking out the Havoc Boxing Promotions card. "My problem every time is making weight."
Guzman said he used diuretics in the past for their short-term weight loss effect, and not as a masking agent for banned supplements as they are often used for.
"I don't drink something to feel more strong, more fast, only for losing weight. When I went to the commissioner, he told me like that, 'You use drugs or steroids?' I don't use nothing. All the people know I'm a clean fighter, I don't need that. I only fight with my talent."
For assistance in making weight, Guzman is now working with strength and conditioning Anthony Terranova three times a week out of Terranova's gym in Ridgewood, N.Y., alongside head coach Don House, whom he trains with at Gleason's Gym in Brooklyn.
"At first he wasn't used to a lot of body movement, so I changed up his movement that he wasn't used to doing," said Terranova. "He's got a lot of tightness in his hamstring, lack of mobility in his shoulders so that's basically what we're working on."
Guzman says he is hoping to secure a fight with unified light welterweight champ Amir Khan, whom Guzman was lined up to face before his ill-fated bout with Jason Davis.
"Amir Khan is a good fighter, but he fights an amateur style. He fought Zab Judah who is good, but Zab Judah is the past. He needs to fight people like me, undefeated and people like that. Call me, this time Guzman is ready. I had 32 fights, 300 amateur fights, I'm 35 years old. I'm ready for any fighters."

Review for Secure Sanitizer by Hulibobu
Nope! ;-) Rated 1 out of 5 stars
Nope, even in the latest update (v0.3.4) the blue progress bar is still too fast to be "wiping" anything (in my FF9.0). SS's own options dialog does appear now in FF's privacy settings, but, on the other hand, it has disappeared from the "Clear History" dialog, so I can't quickly change the wiping method (which would be a useless action anyway, as there is no wiping). Again only 1 star!
Edit March 5th:
Thanks for the response, Fabio.
Am using SS on a FF Portable version (9.0) from portableapps.com, (WinXP, SP1)
Memory cache device: Max storage size 21504 KiB
Disk cache device: 1048576 KiB
Offline cache device: 512000 KiB
The cache gets emptied after every session, so hardly ever huge amount of data in cache. The disk cache is that big to allow single big files to get cached (as Mozilla only allows caching single files of 1/8 of total cache, see: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=647391). Cache directory is on a different partition than FF. As mentioned before, SS works on an old FF version (also portable).
Edit 13 March:
I can guess that problem is related to the fact that cache is on a different partition than FF. Never tested so far.
How did you change the cache location? Did you set 'browser.cache.disk.parent_directory' preference in 'about:config' ?

etour | My OHIO Portal
ATHENS, Ohio (April 2, 2007) -- An Ohio University professor's vested interest and expertise on John Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath" has led to his appearance on a nationally-televised PBS special and recognition from the National Endowment for the Arts. Robert J. DeMott will be seen on "Novel Reflections of the American Dream," a new special from the acclaimed AMERICAN MASTERS series, at 9 p.m. Wednesday, April 4, on WOUB.
"I'm delighted Steinbeck is getting national exposure and 'The Grapes of Wrath' is getting its due," DeMott said. "It is widely read and speaks a great deal to our time."
DeMott, who spoke primarily about Steinbeck, was one of a number of literary scholars, including authors Erica Jong and James Atlas, who discussed novels that had a significant impact or social commentary and challenged the American Dream.
According to the PBS Web site, the documentary uses visual recreations and the scholarly commentary to fully realize the harsh realities of American Dream. Excerpts from the novels are read by actors such as Victor Garber, Julianna Margulies and Liev Schreiber.
The AMERICA MASTERS library has been honored numerous times, winning 17 Emmys, an Oscar, seven Peabody Awards, a duPont-Columbia and two Grammys.
DeMott's Steinbeck studies have also brought acclaim from another notable arena. The National Endowment for the Arts' Big Read selected DeMott's edition of "The Grapes of Wrath" for use in the program.
"The NEA put out a fairly dire statement that serious reading was at risk in the U.S. and funded the Big Read," DeMott said. "They picked seven or eight different novels and asked different groups to apply for funding to put on an intensive reading program."
DeMott's edition, containing a detailed introduction, notes and facts, was selected over a number of other works on the same subject.
"I'm delighted my edition was chosen because it will give a fairly strong, historical, authorial context of the books itself," DeMott said.
The NEA Web site maintains that The Big Read brings together partners across the country to encourage reading for pleasure and enlightenment.
The initiative comprises innovative reading programs in selected communities; expansive outreach and publicity campaigns, including television, radio, and print publicity; compelling resources for discussing outstanding literature; and an extensive Web site offering comprehensive information on the authors and their works.

Tony Romo thinks of Black & Gold when he sees Cardinals Red.
"It definitely has a Pittsburgh feel to it," Romo said of Arizona's pressure-heavy defense. "When I watch it, I think I'm watching the Steelers a little bit. It wreaks havoc."
Rookie and Texas-ex Sam Acho is tied with defensive end Calais Campbell for the Arizona lead in sacks with five each.
"They do a lot of different stuff," Romo said Wednesday in a conference call with reporters who cover the Cardinals. "They want to make you think something, make you think people are coming from everywhere, but they're rushing four or five. They just want to confuse people sometimes. It's a lot of zone blitz philosophy. You have to be ready for that and adjust on the fly. It's not going to go perfect. They're going to do some good things that will create some problems. We're practicing a lot of different pressures that they're going to bring this week."

It's a busy week in comics! Here's a look at this week's releases from DC, Marvel, Image, Dark Horse, Valiant, Boom!, IDW, Dynamite, and Amigo Comics.
Sinestro #1
The most feared Yellow Lantern gets his own ongoing and… well, honestly, it doesn't hold up as well compared to Cullen Bunn's other supervillain book over at the House of Ideas. Dale Eaglesham does good, if conventional, work, and Sinestro is well-characterized, but overall, it's a fairly standard launch and largely for fans of the villain.
Hulk #1
Hulk is the strongest one there is. We all know this. And Banner is one of the smartest men on the planet. But what happens when you take one of those factors out of the equation? That's the premise of Mark Waid's relaunch, and it really has to be read to be believed, especially with Mark Bagley pitching in on art. Highly recommended.
Ultimate FF #1
Honestly, this book is worth picking up for the last panel alone. Joshua Hale Fialkov picks up the Future Foundation after the Ultimate reboot, and it's fairly entertaining, with fun, solid art from Mario Guevara. If you want a different spin on Marvel, this will be a good place to start.
Star Mage #1
Pulp SF and high fantasy collide in this book from J.C. De La Torre and Ray Dillon. Truthfully, the book's a bit clunky and somewhat cliche in a few respects; De La Torre spends the last few pages dumping a lot of exposition on us. But Dillon's art, albeit casting the characters a little young, does manage to keep things moving.
Translucid #1
To be honest, it's not really clear, at first, what Chondra Echert and Claudio Sanchez are up to with their script and how the two seemingly disparate stories tie together. One suspects we'll need to get the rest of the book for it to come into focus. Still, it's well-done superhero action, and Daniel Bayliss' artwork is top-notch.
Solar: Man Of The Atom #1
Dynamite's revival of their Gold Key licenses continues! Frank Barbiere actually thinks out Solar pretty well as a character; there's a great moment early on where he defeats a bank robber in the cleverest way possible. Then, of course, it all goes to hell. Joe Bennett's art is precise and creative, perfect for the book. It's not Turok just yet, but it is worth a read.
Ghost Wolf #1
Can't get enough Conan? This book has you covered. El Torres' script and Siku's art combine to essentially make this feel like a barbarian comic from the '90s. It's a bit purple and full of itself, but it's amusing enough, and might be a good buy for barbarian fans.
The X-Files Annual 2014
Frank Spotnitz returns, with a little help, to the definitive SF series of the '90s. Honestly, the story itself is very much like an old-fashioned X-Files episode, and that's not a bad thing. That said, Stuart Sayger, while it's clear why he was chosen, shows that caricature is not his strong suit as an artist. His moody and effective style is derailed almost completely by having to cartoon real-life actors. The back-up story Nightmare, with art from Andrew Currie and script by Dave Sim, is a far stranger and dream-like story, and certainly an interesting, oddball sideline. Only fans will view this as worth the eight bucks, but it's at least a treat for those who love the series.

Please leave them alone.''Live and Let Die'' is the 8th ''Film/JamesBond'' film, starring Creator/RogerMoore in his first appearance. Bond is assigned to a case involving a drug lord that utilizes "[[HollywoodVoodoo Voodoo]]." After rescuing the drug lord's tarot fortune teller from her virginity, it becomes a plot of everybody trying to kill them.It's one of the more polarizing ''Bond'' films. Some like it for its change of pace – it's the first time Bond deals with both organized crime and the supernatural (and, it's the first film since ''Film/{{Goldfinger}}'' to not involve [=SPECTRE=]) – while others feel it was simply a {{Blaxploitation}} film with the 007 logo slapped on the front. It is noteworthy in that amongst the things it did to try and distance it from the "silliness" of the Creator/SeanConnery era, it didn't include a scene with Q (he's mentioned though). This is a bit undermined by the fact that it's still ''a film about voodoo,'' down to including what is implied to be the real Baron Samedi. Plus, the gadgets used were further over the top than seen before.The theme song by Music/PaulMcCartney and Music/{{Wings}} is widely regarded as one of the series' all-time best, and has achieved a good deal of success independent of the film, being covered by Music/GunsNRoses and still played by [=McCartney=] today in his concerts. It's so famous that many younger people don't even know that it came from a Bond film.Includes a boat chase in Louisiana, which resulted in at least a dozen speedboats being written off when they filmed it.----!!This film contains examples of:* AbsenteeActor: Q is absent from the film. Desmond Llewelyn was then appearing in the show ''Follyfoot'', but was written out of three episodes to appear in the film. The producers decided not to include the character, feeling that "too much was being made of the films' gadgets", and decided to downplay this aspect of the series, much to Llewelyn's annoyance.* {{Adorkable}}: Miss Caruso for the few minutes of screen time she has early on. With a smile like hers, how can anyone ''not'' like her? * AerosolFlamethrower: Bond improvises one to kill the snake released in his bathroom.* AgentsDating: Bond and ''Film/FoxyBrown'' {{Expy}} Rose Carver pretend to be husband and wife on vacation. [[spoiler: Turns out she's TheMole]].* AllThereInTheManual: Solitaire's real name in the book is Simone Latrelle. Her nickname comes from her apparent exclusion of men from her life.* AmusingInjuries: BigBad's death scene.* AnimalAssassin: A snake, presumably venomous, is let loose in Bond's bathroom. Then later Mr. Big and/or his employees try to feed him to a bunch of crocodiles and then a bunch of sharks.* ArtificialLimbs: Tee Hee's right arm is a prosthetic from the shoulder down; it doubles as a RedRightHand.* AscendedExtra: In Fleming's novel, Tee Hee is one of three minor thugs ordered to dispose of Bond and Leiter, while Whisper appears in one scene as the operator of Mr. Big's communications network. The film expands their roles significantly.* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: The island of San Monique, which is neither French nor Spanish, in addition using the wrong gender for the saint herself. While the saint Monica of Hippo does indeed exist, her name would be "Santa Monica" in Spanish and "Sainte-Monique" in French. "San" refers to a masculine saint in Spanish. This is intentional, as the fictional nation is inspired by Hispaniola (the island shared by Haiti and the Dominican Republic).* BadassBystander: Sheriff Pepper, actually. He nearly manages to subdue and arrest one of the major henchmen all by himself, and would have even succeeded if Bond wouldn't have, you know, nearly ''dropped a speed boat'' on him ([[ButtMonkey and let another one get neatly sandwiched in his patrol car]]).* BigApplesauce: Starts at the UN, and also goes to [[UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity Harlem]].* TheBigEasy: Bond takes Solitaire to New Orleans after their escape from San Monique, but are quickly captured by Mr. Big's men.* BlofeldPloy: Inverted. Kananga looks like he's going to test Bond's shark gun on Whisper, but he shoots the couch he's sitting on instead (then again, over the years the couch had surely served him well)* BloodlessCarnage: Kananga pops like a helium balloon, but there's no gore, since that would push the age rating up. Likewise, him dying in the shark tank was probably nixed by the studio.* BluffTheEavesdropper: As Felix Leiter and his CIA team start spying on his office in New York, Kananga puts a recording of his voice on, allowing him, Tee Hee and Solitaire to leave the building unnoticed and go to Harlem for criminal business.* BoardToDeath: The British Secret Service agent stationed in the UsefulNotes/UnitedNations building in the teaser is killed when someone unplugs his translator and replaces it with a device that sends a deadly sound to his head.* BondOneLiner** "[[spoiler:Kananga]] did have an ''inflated'' opinion of himself."** "Just being disarming." referring to Tee-Hee [[spoiler:after he's tossed out of a train and loses his prosthetic hook-arm on the way out the window]].** An unintentional one from Solitaire: "That wasn't very funny" referring again to Tee-Hee.* BondVillainStupidity:** Bond is left on a small island surrounded by crocodiles without a single guard watching to make sure he dies, after having previously escaped Kananga's traps more than once. Why they don't shoot him ''then'' feed his body to the crocs is a question you're just not supposed to ask. Of course, it's possible they did it ForTheEvulz. Being eaten ''alive'' is a pretty scary death. ** Although averted pretty early in the movie, when Mr. Big tells his men to "take this honky out and waste him!" within three seconds of meeting Bond.%%* BookSafe: A Bible.* BottomlessMagazines: Averted, Bond uses a revolver at one point and fires exactly six shots before resorting to hand-to-hand combat.* BrownNote: The movie opens with the assassination of the United Kingdom's ambassador to the United Nations, carried out through sound piped through his translation earpiece.* ChekhovsGun: The shark pellets that Bond is given.* TheChessmaster: Thanks to Solitaire's abilities, Kananga stands two steps ahead of Bond throughout much of the movie.* ClosetShuffle: Miss Caruso takes refuge in Bond's closet when M drops by unexpectedly. Moneypenny sees her, but helps her stay hidden.* ContinuityNod: Bond's reaction when the San Monique concierge tells him "Mrs. Bond" has already checked in would suggest that [[Film/OnHerMajestysSecretService certain events]] still strike a nerve.* ConvenientEscapeBoat: After escaping the alligator farm and burning down the drug lab, Bond steals a convenient escape boat to flee the bad guys. This leads to an awesome chase across the bayous as Bond is pursued by the villains and the police.* CoolBoat: The black and yellow speedboat one of Kananga's goons steals to pursue Bond. Damn shame it gets blown up. * CrazyPrepared: Kananga, whose goons are seemingly ''everywhere'' no matter where he turns. * CruelAndUnusualDeath: Kananga when he's inflated by the gas in the shark pellets. The man eventually explodes into gobbets.* CuteClumsyGirl: Rosie Carver, though this could be [[ObfuscatingStupidity at least partially an act]].* CurseCutShort: When Adam radios the other henchmen to pursue Bond, he screams, "Now ''move'', you mother--".* DeadFootLeadfoot: Whisper kills Bond's driver not long after his arrival on New York, and he has to navigate through traffic with the dead guy's foot on the gas.%%* DeathByGluttony* DeathBySex: [[spoiler: Rosie Carver, who's quickly killed by a scarecrow after Bond outs her as a spy. Averted with Solitaire, who survives the film]].* DeathOfAThousandCuts: What Bond thinks Kananga was planning to do to him in the climax, before he tried to drop him in the shark pool.* DeusExMachina: Quite unusually, Bond's magnet watch also turns out to have a serrated edge that can cut ropes when the face is spun, which comes out of nowhere in the climax.* TheDragon: Tee Hee and Baron Samedi both serve Mr. Big and Kananga.* DragonTheirFeet: Tee Hee isn't present when Bond kills Kananga and tries to kill Bond later on a train.* DragonInChief: If Samedi is the real deal, he's probably this.* ElaborateUndergroundBase: Dr. Kananga had an underground base near one of his poppy fields in San Monique for processing the poppies' morphine into heroin.* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: For Roger Moore's run. Bond's demeanour here is much less humorous, and perhaps even more hard-boiled than Sean Connery's portrayal. The supernatural elements also do not fit well with ''any'' of the other films.* EverybodyOwnsAFord: Or, in this case, Ford's rival, GM's Chevrolet Division, who sponsored the film. Rather {{egregious}}, since practically every (non-taxi or pimp) vehicle in New York seems to be a Chevy.* EveryoneHatesHades: Baron Samedi is portrayed as a Voodoo version of Satan who has numerous zombie servants. In actual Voodoo mythology, Samedi is known for making the dead rot quicker so they can't be turned into zombies and is a personally charming and friendly fellow, fond of rum and cigars.* EvilChancellor: Mister Big himself.* EvilLaugh: Baron Samedi, who has a single line, but lots of laughter (which even appears in ''[[VideoGame/GoldenEye1997 GoldenEye 007]]'').* EyeScream: Shortly before his death, Adam is blinded when Bond throws paint thinner into his face.* EverybodyDidIt: ''Every''body in Harlem is in on this conspiracy. Hop in a taxicab? Its the last mistake you'll ever make. (The driver works for Mr. Big.)* {{Fingore}}: Dr. Kananga threatens to have Tee Hee cut off Bond's finger, along with some... [[GroinAttack other]] important parts of his anatomy.* FlashedBadgeHijack: Sheriff Pepper commandeers a Louisiana State Police car after a speedboat crashes onto his.* FortuneTeller: Solitaire has the ability to see the future by reading tarot cards.* GadgetWatches: Bond's latest watch has magnetic and rotary saw capability. Also notable in that this is his first proper Q-watch in the series; previous watches were either owned by the villains (From Russia With Love), or didn't really look that much like a watch at all (Thunderball). * GainaxEnding: The final scene is [[spoiler: the voodoo priest apparently resurrecting himself for real.]]* GenreRefugee: Sheriff J.W. Pepper seems to have been imported from a Creator/BurtReynolds comedy.* GilliganCut: While waiting for Bond to return to Quarrel jr.'s boat, Leiter comments "He must have gotten tied up somewhere", followed by a cut to Bond and Solitaire tied to a death trap.* GroinAttack: Bond may or may not have kicked Tee-Hee in the nuts during their climactic fight, but judging by the way Tee-Hee squeals when Bond gets the advantage it seems a good indicator that he did.* GunsDoNotWorkThatWay: Bond takes Rose's Smith & Wesson Model 19, then claims the serial numbers were filed off, yet he glances at the right side; the serial number on S&W revolvers is always on the butt plate. Later, when she finds another Model 19 on Quarrel Jr.'s boat, Quarrel tells her the safety was on, despite revolvers generally not having safeties. Possibly qualifying as FridgeBrilliance, as a real CIA agent would have known about such basic things herself and challenged them. Bond and Quarrel were testing her.* HandCannon: Bond spends most of the film with his compact Walther PPK, but come the finale, he trades it out for a shiny .44 [[RevolversAreJustBetter revolver]] to rescue Solitaire, plus an anti-shark pistol with compressed gas bullets that make things inflate, then [[RuleOfCool explode]].* HandSignals: While Bond and Solitaire are tied to the dipping device Kananga gives a hand gesture to Whisper, commanding him to activate and move it out over the SharkPool.* HighHeelFaceTurn** Inverted when Bond sleeps with inept CIA agent Rosie Carver....then pulls a gun on her, revealing he knows she's actually TheMole for BigBad Kananga. He threatens to kill her if she doesn't spill what she knows; when she says he wouldn't do that, they've just made love, he replies:--->'''Bond''': [[JerkAss I certainly wouldn't have killed you before.]]** While Kananga's men are loyal to the death, his female FortuneTeller Solitaire is won over by Bond's charms, even going so far as to lose her virginity - and with it [[VirginPower her ability to predict the future!]] - to him.* HollywoodPoliceDrivingAcademy: Arguably turned UpToEleven as several police cars are wrecked during a ''boat'' chase.* HollywoodVoodoo: Dr. Kananga uses voodoo as means to scare the populace of San Monique to stay away from his poppy fields.* HowUnscientific** The BigBad's death scene.** Not to mention Baron Samedi surviving his "death", and appearing mysteriously laughing on the back of the train at the end of the movie, leading to a RealAfterAll implication.* TheHyena: Most of the time, Baron Samedi just laughs at things.* InflatingBodyGag: Kananga dies from getting inflated by the gas in the shark pellets.* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Miss Caruso in the post-credits opening. Solitaire herself. * InstantConvertible: Done with a bus when the police force of San Monique is chasing Bond, and he drives under a tunnel.* ItsAlwaysMardiGrasInNewOrleans: Averted, it uses [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazz_funeral jazz funerals]].* JustBetweenYouAndMe** Subverted when Mr. Big says "Take this honky out and waste him!"** Played straight when Kananga captures Bond near the end of the movie., though only in the manner Bond villains usually play this- Bond already knows what's going on, and Kanaga is just clearing up technical details (or rather, he's letting ''Bond himself'' clear up those details), like how he plans on smuggling his drugs into America in the first place. Also subverted in that Bond has already blown his poppy fields up and his plan is (temporarily) foiled already.* KickTheDog: When Kananga slaps Solitaire in the face after she sleeps with Bond and loses her psychic powers.* LargeHam** Dr. Kananga, particularly while showing Bond around his underground lair.** Sheriff J.W. Pepper too, even more when he [[Film/TheManWithTheGoldenGun returns in the next film]].** Baron Samedi and Tee Hee are both larger than life.* LatexPerfection: [[spoiler:Dr. Kananga as Mr. Big]]. A subversion; the LatexPerfection trope involves two separate actors, one playing a character, and another playing a character that first character is imitating with a face mask. ''Live and Let Die'' is one of the few films to use the same actor for both the character and the character he's imitating, via Yaphet Kotto and a pretty convincing prosthetic and wig.* MacheteMayhem: As he is rescuing Solitaire, Bond shoots a guy who is about hit him with a machete, and later uses it against Baron Samedi in a very brief SwordFight.* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane** Baron Samedi and his apparent resurrection powers. He may in fact be '''the''' Baron Samedi.** Solitaire's tarot FortuneTeller powers.* MeaningfulName: Baron Samedi, since he might be the real deal.* TheMole: [[spoiler: Rosie Carver.]]* {{Mondegreen}}: The theme song includes a line about "this ever changing world in which we're living," which has often been misheard and mocked as the [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment redundant]] "in which we live in."* MouthingTheProfanity: When Bond's boat jumps over him, Sheriff J.W. Pepper says "What the" and mouths the word "fuck".* MutilationInterrogation: Tee Hee and Bond.* NakedPeopleAreFunny: An almost completely naked Miss Caruso (Bond's one night stand) gets caught by Miss Moneypenny while making a dash for the closet in the hopes of not being caught with her pants down.* NecessaryWeasel: Yaphet Kotto's "Mr. Big" is Blofeld in all but name, something the actor is clearly enjoying. There's no real reason for Mr. Big to have a top-secret underground cave-system headquarters, but most Bond villains do, so why not? There's no obligation for him to keep a shark tank in his headquarters, either. In fact, it was this movie which inspired the "Unnecessarily Slow Dipping Mechanism™!" from the first ''Film/AustinPowers'' movie.* NeverSmileAtACrocodile: At one point during the film, Bond is trapped on a small island in the middle of a pond at a crocodile farm. [[spoiler: He manages to escape by jumping on the backs of the reptiles.]] Tee Hee points out one in particular that tore off his arm before the events of the movie.* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: There was absolutely no mention of Bond's magnet watch having a buzzsaw function until the moment he turned it on to cut the ropes he was bound with.* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Kananga is at least partially based on Dr. Francois "Papa Doc" Duvalier, dictator of Haiti, who used Voodoo as the basis of his personality cult and even claimed that he was Baron Samedi. Inverted with the character's name; Kananga was the RealLife owner of the crocodile farm and the producers decided to use his name for the movie, so the real Kananga became a minor celebrity as a result of this film.* NoMrBondIExpectYouToDine: Kananga, after he captures Bond in his underground lair.* NotMyDriver: Happens to Bond and Solitaire when they get a cab in New Orleans. The driver turns out to be the same guy who drove Bond back in Harlem, who then proceeds to trap them in his car.* NotWithTheSafetyOnYouWont: Rose Carver holds Bond and Quarrel Jr. at gun point, only for Bond to point out that Quarrel Jr. is a friend and Quarrel to point out she has the safety on... [[GunsDoNotWorkThatWay despite the revolver not having a safety.]]* TheNudifier: Bond uses his magnetic watch to strip down his one night stand, the beautiful Italian agent known only as Miss Caruso (billed as "Beautiful Girl" in the end credits). * OhCrap** Tee Hee, when Bond [[spoiler: cuts the cables to his prosthetic arm, locking him in place on a window handle.]] ** Miss Caruso when Ms. Moneypenny catches her emerging from Bond's bedroom wearing nothing but her frilly blue panties and covering her topless self with his robe. Fortunately for her Ms. Moneypenny is just nice enough to stay quiet while she retrieves her clothes and hides in the closet and is then nice enough to keep M from discovering the poor Italian agent.** Rosie Carter gets one when she sees the ScaryScarecrows for the first time. * OutsideContextProblem: Sheriff J.W. Pepper is a typical Southern lawman who suddenly finds himself caught up in the wake of Bond.* OutsideGenreFoe: Up to this point, Bond himself has normally gone up against European and/or Asian villains, who tend to be after [[TakeOverTheWorld world domination]] with science on their side- here, he's up against a American-based drug ring led by a Caribbean dictator who has voodoo on his side.* OlderThanTheyLook: Would you have guessed that Creator/RogerMoore was ''45'' (and three years ''older'' than Creator/SeanConnery) when he first played Bond here?* ParanormalEpisode: Even Bond had a run of this here, where he faces off with a henchmen claimed to be Baron Samedi. He's seemingly killed, but shown alive at the end of the film, hinting he [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane may have been]] the genuine article.* PistolWhipping: Adam, one of Mr. Big's thugs, knocks out Sheriff Pepper's brother-in-law Billy Bob when he steals his boat.* PopGoesTheHuman: Bond force feeds Dr. Kananga an oxygen bullet, which causes to inflate like a balloon. He rises up like a helium balloon and pops, with nothing but clothing shreds left.* PowerPerversionPotential: Proven when Bond uses his magnetic watch to ''unzip'' a woman's dress.* PrecisionFStrike: The first of ([[Film/AViewToAKill currently]], [[Film/LicenceToKill as]] [[Film/QuantumOfSolace of]] [[Film/{{Skyfall}} 2012]]) five Bond films to use strong profanity. [[SoundEffectBleep However, only one of them gets through.]]* ProphecyTwist: Solitaire tries to invoke this to explain how [[spoiler:Rosie Carver]] died but Bond didn't.* RealityIsUnrealistic: One of the most unbelievable and cartoonish stunts, [[spoiler: Bond jumping on some crocodiles to safety after being left to die on a small island]] was actually an authentic feat by the owner of the crocodile ranch. [[spoiler: Yes, those were real crocodiles (though their feet were tied down).]]* RedRightHand: Tee Hee's [[ArtificialLimbs right arm]].* ReligionIsMagic: Baron Samedi and voodoo.* SameLanguageDub: Regular Bond voice artist Nikki Van der Zyl dubbed much of Jane Seymour's dialogue.* ScaryBlackMan: Tee Hee (the dude with the claw), Baron Samedi, Mr. Big and Dr. Kananga, and Adam, one of their henchmen.* ScaryScarecrows: San Monique is littered with scarecrows that have cameras and in one case, a dart gun, hidden in them. * SceneryGorn: The back alley in Harlem where Mr. Big's goons take Bond out to shoot him is probably the most miserable alley in fictional history.* TheSeventies: More blatant here than in the others from this decade. Dig those '70s fashions!* SexFaceTurn: Solitaire may have actually been attracted to him before it happened. (She may have [[MysteriousBacker secretly sent him a warning]] that the first girl worked for Mr. Big) and truly switched sides after he seduced her. (He tricked her - possibly. He later told her that the deck of tarot cards he used was rigged, but she was neither upset nor surprised; it was clear she held at least some grudge against Mr. Big already.) * SharkPool: Twice, once with alligators and once with sharks.* ShoeShineMister: While Bond is trailing Kananga's car in Harlem, he's spotted by a black shoeshine man, who calls Mr. Big on a radio inside his shoeshine kit.%%* SoundEffectBleep* ShoutOut: Bond's all-black turtleneck ensemble towards the end is in homage to ''Film/{{Bullitt}}''. It comes full circle in ''Film/{{Spectre}}'' as the blond Creator/DanielCraig is dressed similarly.* ShownTheirWork: A minor example, but a lot of the things Tee-Hee says regarding crocodilians are accurate, such as their long lifespans, their slow appetites and the methods of telling crocodiles and alligators apart.* SicEm: The DiabolicalMastermind Kananga does it twice with his minions.-->'''Kananga (calm)''': If he finds it, kill him.-->'''Kananga (concerned)''': At any cost - ''any'' - Bond must die.* StandardHollywoodStrafingProcedure: By a helicopter while Bond is hiding under the poppy field net.* StayingAlive: Baron Samedi. He was apparently killed by venomous snakebites, then re-appeared at the end of the movie sitting on the front of a moving train (to be fair, [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane he was very likely]] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baron_Samedi a god]].)* StormingTheCastle: A two-man version. Near the end of the film while Quarrel Jr. infiltrates Kananga's poppy fields and blows them up with incendiary bombs, Bond attacks the voodoo village to save Solitaire, then sneaks into Kananga's underground base below the village.* SureLetsGoWithThat: Bond's original escape from the crocodiles involved both the boat and the watch. However, after Kananga (the owner of the ranch, not the movie's villain) showed the filming crew that he could run over the the crocs, they decided to go with that one instead and just added a rope to the boat.* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Quarrel Jr., to his father. Which they did to work around the fact that Quarrel first appeared in the book ''Literature/LiveAndLetDie'', but they filmed ''Literature/DrNo'', in which Quarrel dies, first.* TapOnTheHead: Tee Hee to Bond, and Bond to a number of {{mooks}}.* TarotMotifs: A new deck was designed for the movie.* ThemeTuneCameo: A lounge singer gives the title song a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UVTsiNbICQ Motown-style reprise]], and she mocks Bond from the stage as he's captured by the bad guys.* TownWithADarkSecret: Many Louisiana's citizens are part of Kananga's racket. He apparently has enough people to stage a jazz funeral in order to [[spoiler:dispose of a target's body]].* TraintopBattle: Though it never actually gets on ''top'' of the train.* {{Tuckerization}}: Dr. Kananga was named after the guy who owned the crocodile farm seen in the film. [[spoiler: The feet you see running on top of the crocodiles when Bond escapes said farm? Those were Kananga's, and those were real crocodiles.]]* TuxedoAndMartini: As a conscious effort of distinguishing himself from Creator/SeanConnery's Bond, Creator/RogerMoore's Bond isn't seen wearing a tuxedo. This was the second and only other film besides ''Film/YouOnlyLiveTwice'' in which Bond doesn't wear one.* UnconventionalVehicleChase: While on the island of San Monique, Bond and Solitaire escape in a double-decker bus while the San Monique police pursue on motorcycles and in squad cars.* UnfortunateNames: It works in a FluffyTheTerrible sort of way, but still... ''Tee-Hee?''* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Hamilton and Strutter both being collected by the funeral parade after they are killed, all done in plain view of the entire city of New Orleans. One can only assume the onlookers to any of Kananga's many traps are also working for him. * VillainWithGoodPublicity: It would seem that every black person in UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity, [[TheBigEasy New Orleans]], and the fictional San Monique works for the BigBad, or knows him enough not to be surprised when Bond's table at a restaurant is suddenly lowered into the villain's lair as the singer taunts him. * VirginPower: Solitaire's tarot reading ability depends on her virginity.* WhatMeasureIsAMook: Bond is surprisingly thoughtful in this movie, never killing anyone outside of self-defense. Even when blowing up the heroin lab, Bond gives the workers in there a chance to escape by luring an alligator in the building before he sets it on fire. * WhenTheClockStrikesTwelve: The incendiary bombs that Bond uses to burn Kananga's poppy fields are set to go off at midnight.* WhereDaWhiteWomenAt: The black villain Kananga is enraged that Bond has seduced his Caucasian mistress Solitaire, outright stating that ''he'' was to be the one to take her virginity. The racial difference adds some serious unfortunate implications to the typical "Bond rescues the DamselInDistress" situation.* WhyDontYaJustShootHim** The "Unnecessarily Slow Moving Dipping Mechanism" parodied in the first ''Film/AustinPowers'' film was more than likely inspired by the machine that Kananga uses in his attempt to dispose of Bond and Solitaire near the end of this film. Kananga wanted to give the shark a chance to get the scent of blood; ironically, Whisper ''was'' going to put Bond in fast - Kananga told him to ''slow down'' to, as he put it, "let our diners assemble".** Likewise the "put him in an easily-escapable deathtrap and then just walk away and assume it worked" meme is exemplified when Bond is marooned on a rock in a lake full of hungry crocodiles without even a single {{mook}} left behind to watch him, though to be fair, nobody could have predicted him running across their backs to shore.** Mr. Big completely averts this on his first meeting with Bond -- but it's still the first act, so Bond kung-fus his way out of it.** [[http://theincrediblesuit.blogspot.com/2011/08/blogalongabond-live-and-let-die.html This article]] goes into further detail, counting a whopping 10 moments, including the two earlier mentioned attempts.* YouHaveFailedMe: Rosie Carver fails to lure Bond to his death after he realizes that she's a double agent. Kananga's henchmen have her killed before Bond can force her into telling him what she wants to know.* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Shockingly, Bond implies this about Solitaire at one point. Although he says it to Quarrel Jr., not her.* ZipMeUp: Inverted when Bond uses a magnetic watch to ''unzip'' a woman's dress. Now ''that's'' what we call PowerPerversionPotential.----

Virginia by William Esmont
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
This is a short read.
I have to apologise for my review as I hardly ever have to give 2 stars. I know how authors feel about this, but, I need to be honest.
The book is well written. It has a good premise to it as a theme.
It's advertised as Thriller, mystery, general.
It's definitely not your usual thriller.
No mystery to it.
More a science fantasy kind of read as it's like a sci Fi short drama.
Not very believable.
I'm so sorry.
Others may love it though.
Thank you to Devious Productions via Net Galley for my copy.

Juventus made their first move to sign Martin Caceres back in October, agent Beppe Bozzo has revealed.
The Uruguayan returned to Turin for his second stint at the club in January, but only after months of negotiations.
"The Caceres operation started in October," Bozzo told Tuttosport. "It was a difficult deal to do. The two clubs were maintaining their positions.
"However, the issue was resolved on December 23 after I had a lunch with the Sevilla club President.
"The boy never gave up, he strongly wanted Juventus – even if Paris Saint-Germain tried to enter the situation."
Bozzo also represents David Pizarro, the Chilean who left Roma for Manchester City last month after initial links with La Signora.
"Juventus boss Antonio Conte was looking for a different type of midfielder," the agent continued.
"Then false rumours about Pizarro's physical condition started to circulate, but everything was fine in the end as he went to City."

Players From The Past: Lew Burdette
Selva Lewis "Lew" Burdette
Born: November 22, 1926 in Nitro, West Virginia
Died: February 6, 2007 in Winter Garden, Florida
Major League Debut: September 26, 1950
Final Game: July 16, 1967
Lew Burdette was signed by the New York Yankees in 1947 but pitched only one inning for them. It was ironic that Burdette would beat the Yankees three times in the 1957 World Series while winning the MVP award.
He was traded to the Boston Braves along with $50,000 cash while the Yankees acquired Johnny Sain in the trade on August 29, 1951.
Posted 15-5 Record In First Milwaukee Season
He compiled a 6-11 record in the last two years the Braves were in Boston and then posted a 15-5 record in his first year as a Milwaukee Brave.
In 1959 he led the NL in wins with a 21-15 record. That same year he defeated Harvey Haddix of the Pirates in the famous 12 inning perfect game on May 26 of that year.
While Haddix was pitching perfect baseball Burdette was giving up 12 hits in 13 innings but didn't walk a batter while striking out only two batters.
Pitch Counts No Concern In Game
The Braves would win the game 1-0 leaving Haddix the losing pitcher of what may be the greatest baseball game during a regular season. There is no record of how many pitches he threw in that game at baseball-reference.com but it is safe to say he far exceeded the pitch count limit used by any manager today.
Burdette said after the game:
"I'm the greatest pitcher that ever lived. The greatest game that was ever pitched in baseball wasn't good enough to beat me, so I've got to be the greatest!"
Burdette gave up a lot of hits and led the NL in hits in the 1959, 1960 and 1961 seasons allowing 312, 277 and 295 hits. However he walked only 38, 35 and 33 batters in those seasons.
Very Few Strikeouts
He wasn't a strikeout pitcher and he struck out only 113 batters in his highest strikeout season of 1958. He struck out only 1004 batters in his 18 year career which didn't help his Hall of Fame chances.
His 203-144 lifetime record gave him a +59 wins over losses. He won the 1956 NL earned run crown with a 2.70 mark.
He is third on the all time least walks per nine innings list with 1.84 walks per nine innings. He is behind Robin Roberts with a 1.73 mark and Carl Hubbell and Juan Marichal with identical 1.82 marks.
Burdette hit 12 home runs and drove in 75 runs as a batter.
1957 World Series
Burdette has the second best ERA of any of the 13 three game winners in the World Series as the Braves defeated the Yankees that year. Only Christy Matthewson with a 0.00 ERA was better than Burdette and Stan Coveleski who both compiled ERA's of 0.67.
He only allowed two earned runs in 27 innings in the 1957 World Series. Only Bob Gibson in 1967, Mickey Lolich in 1968 and Randy Johnson in 2001 have won three games in a World Series in the last 52 years after Burdette accomplished the feat.
He pitched three complete games and two shutouts which probably will never be accomplished again in this pitch count era.
1958 World Series
Burdette did not fare nearly as well in the 1958 World Series. He posted a 1-2 record with a 5.64 ERA as the Yankees came back from a three games to one deficit to win the World Series.
Traded To The Cardinals
The Braves traded Burdette on June 15, 1963 to the St. Louis Cardinals for Gene Oliver and Bob Sadowski ending 13 years with the Braves and prohibiting him from playing for the Braves in three different cities since they would move to Atlanta a couple of years later.
He was traded again on June 2, 1964 to the Chicago Cubs in exchange for Glen Hobbie. Burdette pitched his last three major league seasons for the Chicago Cubs, Philadelphia Phillies and the California Angels.
Burdette may not have been elected to the Hall of Fame but he pitched better than some pitchers in the Hall of Fame. Bringing a World Series championship to Milwaukee was the greatest achievement of his career.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – Imagine finding a picture on the Internet, using it on your website and finding out what you did may be illegal. It is happening right now in Indiana.
A retired local attorney says hundreds of people have illegally used a photograph he took. Now, he's seeking thousands of dollars in damages. This case can serve as a big warning when it comes to using the Internet and social media.
Rich Bell says he took a skyline photo in 2000. Since then he says it's been used more than 300 times by everyone from realtors to media outlets. It's a basic skyline photograph, almost as if it's a stock photo. But, he wants everyone who used it without his permission to pay.
In early March of 2000, Rich Bell knew he'd captured a great shot.
"Actually it was my wife that discovered it. She came home one day and she says, 'you know this organization is using your photograph.' And I said, 'no!'" said Bell.
He says it's flat out stealing.
"It's just like downloading music illegally," said Bell.
Bell settled out of court with nearly everyone. But, a handful of people are standing their ground.
"I literally downloaded the image, checked it for copyright, checked it for meta data, checked it for exit data and it was clear," said Jessica Wilch.
Jessica Wilch designed a website for a Century 21 realtor. In 2011, that realtor got a call. Bell was suing the realtor for copyright infringement.
"Well, first of all, it is my property and I don't appreciate people stealing my property," said Bell.
Wilch says this opens a can of worms she isn't sure the courts are ready to deal with.
"If a photograph is taken and it goes across Facebook or it goes across Snap Chat and you use it or you pass it along and the original owner contests it, where's the litigation start and where does it stop?" asks Wilch.
In a world of online 'live, work and play' it's likely you have posted or used someone else's property illegally and not even known it. Copyright attorneys say as soon as a work of art is created, as the shutter on the camera clicks, a copyright exists. If you didn't take the picture, haven't bought the rights or received permission from the photographer to use the photo, don't use it. Wilch has learned the hard way, it's better to be safe than sorry.
"Um, unfortunately it is," said Wilch.
Defendants believe that Bell uses the way copyright laws are written along with his extensive knowledge of the law to take advantage of innocent people.
Bell and the defendants are headed to federal court September 29. Bell is seeking thousands in damages, photo value and attorney's fees.
Wilch hopes the case is dismissed.

Either multiboxed then merged all accounts or bought the other accounts.. no other way really
What the fuck.
Multi-box and merge, hence why there is no Monk.
One cannot simply quit wow his way into Mordor.
multiboxing is my guess, but jesus christ.
He only got Quintessential Quintet 5 days ago, the realm firsts are from 9/25. In russia, anything is possible.
Multiple accounts on the same Battle.net account probably being played by different people at the same time.
I believe there was a glitch in the system right after MoP's launch and after people hit 90 where you could transfer characters from other peoples accounts and keep their pets and achievements. It has been fixed now but it could have been the cause.
You would expect all of the characters to be in the same guild then, which they aren't.
Besides that, Gold Challenge mode in greens, gj.
Something definitely feels wrong with his feats of strength.. I mean, he has _everything_.

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. (WFLA) — An officer in Miami-Dade County was off-duty Tuesday when she ran into a Catholic school principal taking a chainsaw to trees knocked down by Hurricane Irma.
According to the police department, Sister Margaret Ann was cutting the trees to clear neighborhood roadways following Hurricane Irma.
Sister Margaret Ann is the principal of Archbishop Coleman F. Carroll High School, a private Roman Catholic high school in Miami-Dade County.
The police department posted a video and photos to Facebook with the message, "As we recover from #HurricaneIrma, these acts of kindness remind us all that we are #OneCommunity in #MiamiDadeCounty! Thank you Sister and all of our neighbors that are working together to get through this! #MiamiDadeStrong"

How does one fill a sphere with smaller spheres of various sizes so that every possible void is filled? There are only five known configurations, all obtained by a sphere inversion transformation, the 3D equivalent of a circle inversion. Initial spheres are positioned at the vertices of a platonic solid. The sphere containing and touching all these spheres is part of the constellation also, but is obviously never drawn in the images. Inversion spheres are placed so that they are orthogonal to the spheres at the faces of the platonic solid. One inversion sphere is at the center, orthogonal to all initial spheres. For the case of the tetrahedron, cube and dodecahedron, there is only one possible configuration, consisting of touching initial spheres. In the case of the octahedron, there is a constellation with touching spheres, and one other with non-touching spheres. No packing can be obtained starting from the icosahedron. The colors of the individual spheres in the images correspond to the iteration count.

I noticed that my WP blog was sharing my videos to my FB page "willy nilly". It was uploading vids over and over when I was not initiating it. This, in turn, was feeding to my twitter. So I suppose everyone thought I was spamming, and I was doing nothing.
I turned it off completely.
Can anyone share with me what may have happened so that when I setup my shares again it doesn't happen.
Do you think I was hacked?
The blog I need help with is foxysilvergal.com.

A$AP Rocky continues to kill it with his style day in, day out. That's nothing new. So when the rapper popped up in an Instagram from his manager, Chace Infinite, wearing an A Bathing Ape hoodie full-zipe Shark hoodie, it was a dope, but nothing mind-blowing.
However, Rocky was standing next to one of the upcoming stylish rappers in the game, Macklemore. Who was wearing a very low-key leather jacket, several chains, and a backwards strapback hat. Looking very dapper himself.
It just had us thinking, whose style killed it more: Rocky or Macklemore's? What do you think?

FREDONIA, Wis. — By the calendar, spring was mere days away.
But the March evening dished up a decidedly wintry mix of snowflakes and temperatures in the teens. It's the type of preseason training conditions that can be especially challenging for spring sports in the Midwest.
It was not enough to deter the members of the Ozaukee Youth Trap League, however. The parking lot at the Ozaukee Fish & Game Association was near capacity at 6:30 p.m. as students, coaches and parents met for practice.
"Love the enthusiasm and the dedication," said head coach Scott Yanke.
Yanke dished out instructions for the 80 middle and high school students who make up the 2013 team.
The students were separated into groups based on trap shooting experience. Everyone would shoot at least one round of trap outdoors.
And some also would shoot a round on an innovative indoor simulator called "DryFire." The Ozaukee Youth Trap League purchased the system this winter and it is the first club to own the system in the state, according to Yanke.
The room buzzed with excitement as the students and coaches headed off in squads for the evening's practice.
"We focus so much on getting things ready, it's rewarding to see the turnout," said Carrie Scheel, president of the youth club.
The club is composed of students from middle and high schools around Ozaukee County.
Scheel founded the club five years ago. Her son, Kenton, had suffered a back injury and was advised not to participate in contact sports.
So Scheel, a professor of occupational therapy, investigated other options. She learned several high schools in southeastern Wisconsin were participating in the Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP).
Though she wasn't a shooter, Scheel said she was aware of the discipline, responsibility and self-confidence that can be acquired through the shooting sports.
So she helped gather a group of coaches and gained permission from Ozaukee Fish & Game Association to its trap fields.
The first year the Ozaukee youth club had five shooters, including Kenton.
This year they had to cap participation at 80.
"The Kewaskum coach told us to get ready to grow," Scheel said. "Boy, was he right."
Like several dozen other Wisconsin teams, the Ozaukee club was preparing for the 2013 Scholastic Clay Target Program trap shooting season. And if everything goes well, it might also send some students to the SCTP national championship in Sparta, Ill.
Every four years, Americans get reminded that trap shooting is an Olympic sport. In 2012, U.S. Olympians Kim Rhode and Vincent Hancock won gold medals in the London Games.
But most aren't aware of the growth of the sport at the youth level.
The Kettle Moraine conference has grown from five teams to 15 this year. Nearby, the Southeastern Wisconsin conference includes 13 trap shooting teams from Milwaukee, Jefferson, Kenosha, Racine, Walworth and Waukesha counties.
The SCTP was started in 2000 by the National Shooting Sports Foundation and is now governed by the nonprofit Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation, Inc.
According to its mission statement, the SCTP "is a youth development program that teaches the safe handling of firearms while at the same time developing positive life skills through the shotgun clay target sports."
Increasing interest
Over the last decade, the program has spread from a handful of states to 44. The Midwest region comprises 60 percent of national SCTP participation.
Wondrash said the program goals are to increase participation nationwide to more than 10,000 this year and to 20,000 "in just the next couple years."
The Ozaukee club is a case study for the popularity of the program.
The club strives to "allow youth shooters to safely and responsibly participate in shooting sports."
Scheel said trap shooting helps the students develop to their potential both within and outside of the shooting sports.
"And what's more, we know that trap shooting can be shared with family and friends for a lifetime," Scheel said.
Scheel's son Kenton is now 17 and a high school senior. He developed his proficiency over the last four years and was "top gun" of the club last year.
This year, he's opted to be an assistant coach on the team.
"One of the biggest things I've learned is I really like helping others learn," Kenton said. "So this season that's where I'm putting my focus."
The club has 14 coaches in all. At the recent practice, most coaches worked with squads nonstop for two hours as snow swirled over the five outdoor trap fields.
Kenton wore the bright vest of a range safety officer as he made sure the shooters exercised proper firearm safety principles.
Inside help
What made the practice especially unique was the setting of one of the firing lines: inside the clubhouse.
Five youth shooters faced a projector screen on a wall. One by one, they called "pull" and a red disc of light moved across the simulated trap field.
The shooter raised his or her shotgun, pulled the trigger and . . .
"No recoil," said high school shooter Wade Dishaw. "I flinched on the first one."
The DryFire system uses infrared light and a computer algorithm to simulate trap shooting.
Not only does it allow practice indoors year-round and without the expense of shells, but it utilizes the shooter's firearm.
A light-emitting piece is placed in the muzzle of the shotgun and a small button is added to the trigger.
The rest is handled by the computer. After a round, the DryFire system prints out a report showing the results of each shot, including the location of the center of the shot cone relative to the target.
"We are only scratching the surface of what it can do," said assistant coach Rick Leach.
For advanced shooters, the system can be programmed to throw targets faster or require near direct hits.
So far, the system has been especially beneficial to beginning shooters, Scheel said.
"It helps build muscle memory and teach fundamentals like swinging through the target," Scheel said. "It's been a hit."
Judging from its growth over the last five years, so too has the youth trap shooting team she helped form.

Let the bragging begin.
After three months of high-quality basketball action featuring the best Filipino players in Saudi Arabia the TFC Kingdom Cup 2012 ended, and the Jeddah FBA Vipers towered above everyone else to become the champion in the event bankrolled by the ABS-CBN Middle East regional office.
The Vipers hammered out a 102-95 victory last Friday against Riyadh FAPS Stars in the rubber match of the best-of-three championship series at the packed Dawa court in the Second Industrial City outside of Riyadh.
The win followed the Vipers' emphatic 97-87 Game 2 victory at their home court in Jeddah, climaxed the championship run by a gritty Jeddah team and vindicated its veteran coach Boy "4GS" Corsega who had been pilloried by his detractors after his side fell 0-3 against the Stars in this tournament.
The Vipers closed out the series 2-1 to settle the issue on who was the better team in the national finals in the competition that began with regional eliminations in the Eastern Province, central region and western region.
The determined Vipers rose to the challenge in the no-tomorrow match before a hostile crowd, coming back from eight points down going into the fourth quarter to beat the hosts for the second straight time.
Joseph Ubalde, a lanky 6-foot-4 center with the wingspan of an albatross, enjoyed another double-double of 28 points and 14 rebounds with 7 assists and 5 steals for the Vipers who also drew big games from the trio of Ron Magat, Morsy Akad and Robby David.
Magat had a surprising display and finished with 27 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals, and his defense on point guard Jose Cortez disrupted the Stars' offensive rhythmn. John Rebulado's defense was likewise effective on old customer and Riyadh All-Star James Smith, limiting him to well below his average at 13 points.
The high-jumping Akad scored 24 points with 6 boards and 3 assists before fouling out with still three minutes to play, while David, ever the efficient court general that he is, added 12 points, 12 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals.
The Vipers had been under the gun for most of the contest and took the lead only at the 1-minute mark of payoff period when Mark Aguam hit a layup to redeem himself from an earlier mistake, 88-87, after the Stars brought an eight-point lead, 78-70, into the fourth quarter.
The visitors never surrendered their advantage after that. They were up by three, 90-87, on free throws by Ubalde and Magat. Vipers manager Francis Magat then played a little bit of mind games when he unfurled a banner proclaiming his team champions during the last 34 seconds and Jeddah leading by 5 points.
Vipers, who jumped out to a 9-0 start before the game became back-and-forth with the second half ending at 51-all, protected their lead in the stretch with a 100 per cent conversion from the free-throw line.
The crowd switched sides and chanted "Jed-dah, Jed-dah" toward the end of the exciting match. Also, not a few from both teams became emotional and cried unabashedly as balloons and confetti rained down the court.
Roel Asay was again the main man of the Stars with 26 points and 6 rebounds, while Sherwin Garcia and Raymond Alcasabas each had 15.
The awards ceremony took place after the game. Point guard David was named the tournament Most Valuable Player and was in the mythical five selection along with Best Guard Ron Magat, Best Forwards Sherwin Garcia and Smith, who also won the Most Defensive Player award, and Best Center Ubalde. Corsega added the Best Coach award from this tournament to his collection.
Jeddah delegation head Edgar Mendoza was ecstatic after the match.
"Championship was really a heart-stopping game and we did not stop to meet our aim to win till the last minute of the game. After all the trials and challenges in our team, we did not give up to motivate and inspire our team to win and it was really overwhelming that finally our Jeddah FBA Vipers won this most celebrated TFC Kingdom Cup. I would like to thank TFC and all of our fans and supporters for their trust and confidence in us," said Mendoza.
Let the bragging begin.

Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Oracle 10
In addition to Pete's comments about ISV support - which I would expect to be a major issue for many shops right at the moment - I'd add concern about Oracle support. What I mean there is how many of the problems that you see or encounter on 10g will they have seen previously (I see a comment about RAC has been made along these lines) - this emphatically isn't a criticism of support, just a suggestion that being one of the first to discover new issues can make resolution of those issues slower.
I also like to wait for patchsets and not take .0 releases I have
demos of 'features' that result in loss of service in 8170,9010 and

Did you know that a 1-second delay in page load time can cause a 7% decrease in the conversion rate of your e-commerce website? Or that 40% of the visitors to your website will abandon your website after 3 seconds?
One of the key components that contribute to a slow application/website is latency. Latency is the time taken by a server to receive and process a request from a client. By hosting your VPS on BigRock's India servers, you will significantly reduce the effect of latency on the speed of your application/website. Just take a look at the screenshots below:
Connecting to a Hosting Server in the US
Connecting to a Hosting Server in the India
As you can see, the latency of a server hosted in India is more than 8X lower. This is because you are connecting to the server from India, and the distance that your request has to travel is significantly less than what it has to travel to make a request to our US-hosted servers. This means your application/website loads faster, your customers don't leave your website, and your revenue increases.

Using a technology called Virtualization, isolated virtual machines are created. These come with dedicated resources and full root access which gives you all the features and functions of a dedicated server at no additional cost. This is termed as Virtual Private Server (VPS) Hosting.
The three main advantages that come with VPS Hosting are:
We use Parallels Virtuozzo Containers (PVC).
Since you have full root access, you can install any software that is compatible on your VPS package. However, any software that violates our Acceptable Usage Policy will not be allowed.
Yes. The control panel we offer is cPanel for which you will be billed separately from your VPS package. We have an automated installation process configured to help make your control panel setup easy.
Yes. Our VPS plans are very scalable. This means you can upgrade or downgrade your existing plan at any time and instantaneously.
No, we do not offer a money back guarantee on VPS Hosting. If, however, you are dissatisfied with our Product or Service, we will evaluate your request and give you a refund if applicable. Ref: https://support.bigrock.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/1209/0/what-is-your-money-back-policy For VPS and Dedicated hosting orders, you need to create a ticket after deleting the order within 30 days of purchase and provide us the reason for deletion. We would process the refund manually post checks for abusive/malicious activities on the server.
VPS Hosting comes with Fully Managed Support. You can check out the entire list of items that we support [here].
Our VPS comes equipped with NetApp FAS3240 Enterprise Level Shared Storage which gives us the ability to provide a storage uptime of 99.999%.
Our VPS hosting uses state-of-the-art infrastructure to ensure the best performance possible.
You can get in touch with our fully qualified technical support via Live Chat, Phone, or Email around the clock 24x7x365. In addition to 24x7 monitoring, we also provide fully managed VPS Support. Take a look at the table below to find out what we mean by this.

Hello. I have been following your blog for a couple of years now. My daughter and I love your art. I was wondering if I might ask you some questions. What is a good printer for fine art prints? What software do you like to use for digital drawing? Thank you.

Hi Julia, thanks for the kind words. :-)
As far as printers, I don't have a lot of experience with different brands, so wouldn't feel comfortable giving a recommendation. I've used an HP one a couple years ago that I liked, but there's so many new ones on the market that your best bet would be to check out Consumer Reports and reviews on Amazon, Staples, etc.
With the illustrations, I'm drawing everything with traditional media (pencil, pen and watercolor), then bringing it into Adobe Photoshop.

In 2009 Andrey Yakunin struck a landmark deal with Rezidor, a company listed on the Stockholm stock exchange that has long experience operating hotels. Andrey's company Regional Hotel Chain (RHC) would acquire and develop the sites and Rezidor would manage the hotels. Together they set about planning 20 hotels with, as Andrey said in an email to Reuters, a "fast and massive nationwide roll-out" in mind.
Andrey said the first three hotels in operation - in the provincial cities of Kazan, Astrakhan and Izhevsk - have nothing to do with RZhD. But plans for at least five other sites are next to or very near key rail stations, according to Rezidor.
