Catania have confirmed the return of Takayuki Morimoto from Novara and indicated that they intend to keep hold of him this time.
The Elefanti have confirmed today two transactions in place with newly-relegated Novara, with the resolution of Japanese striker Morimoto's co-ownership seeing him return 100 per cent to Catania, whilst the Piedmont outfit take goalkeeper Tomas Kosicky from the Sicilians.
Morimoto spent last season at Novara, netting four times during a campaign that was interrupted by a recurrence of a serious knee injury.
However, despite concerns over his fitness and his struggles in his previous spell with the club to break into the first team, Catania has welcomed him back.
"We have always believed in Morimoto," President Antonino Pulvirenti told a Press conference today.
New sporting director Sergio Gasparin then spoke of other deals in development.
"We think the co-ownerships with [Davide] Lanzafame and [Mirko] Antenucci will go to the envelopes, provided that an agreement in the next few hours is not reached and as you know, some situations are often unlocked at the last minute.
"[On the contract renewal for] Pablo Barrientos? We are in a delicate position, we are working on it."
Unresolved co-ownership deals go to a silent auction process today to determine full ownership.

Historical records matching Brig. General Thomas W. Hyde (USA)
Immediate Family
About Brig. General Thomas W. Hyde (USA)
Battle of Antietam (for which he later received the Medal of Honor),
Thomas W. Hyde (1841–1899) was a Union Army general in the American Civil War, a state senator from Maine, and the founder of Bath Iron Works, one of the major shipyards in the United States.
Born in Florence, Italy, to parents who were natives of Bath, Maine, Hyde graduated from Bowdoin College in 1861 and then from Chicago University. Starting as a major of a company of the Seventh Maine Infantry, Hyde rose through the army ranks, ultimately becoming a brigadier general in 1865. Serving under General John Sedgwick, he was present at several key Civil War battles, including the Second Battle of Bull Run, the Battle of Antietam (for which he later received the Medal of Honor), and the Battle of Gettysburg. He was also present at General Robert E. Lee's 1865 surrender.
Starting in 1873, Hyde served three terms in the Maine Senate, including two as president. He became mayor of Bath in 1878.
In 1884, he founded Bath Iron Works and became general manager of it in 1888. The shipyard has executed more than 425 shipbuilding contracts, including 245 for the U.S. Navy.
Hyde died on November 15, 1899, after a short illness.

Liberty Co. tot run over by 12-year-old sister
Updated 11:26 am, Wednesday, August 28, 2013
A 4-year-old Liberty County girl has been hospitalized after her 12-year-old sister accidentally ran over her Tuesday.
The 12-year-old was driving a car on the family's property, in the 200 block of County Road 604, about seven miles southeast of Dayton, to do some work at a barn, which was a short distance away, according to a news release issued by the sheriff's office.
The 4-year-old and other children were playing around the car, the release reads.
"The 12-year-old told the younger children to get back away from the car which she thought they had done before she started driving towards the barn," according to the release.
When she stepped out of the car, the younger sister was found trapped under one of the vehicle's wheels. The girl's father drove her to the Dayton police department.
The child was flown to Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston, where she remained Wednesday morning.
No charges are expected to be filed in the case, the sheriff's office stated.

Every time that I need to go to Denver I make a point to hike the Fountain Valley Trail at Roxborough State Park, if I can. I could today and did.
I drove to Denver this morning for a class in macro photography at the flagship store of the chain where I bought my Canon EOS 50D SLR camera. While the class was too basic and general, I learned a few things.
And I moved closer to buying a Canon EF25II extension tube, which will work for both my 60mm macro lens and my regular 18-200mm zoom lens. It will increase the effective focal length of my lenses, bringing my subjects closer. Since the instructor for the macro class this morning offered us students "a special deal," I almost bought it from him. The regular price, he said, was $189, and I could have it for $164. But when I got home this evening, I checked the Amazon price — $135 with neither sales tax or shipping charges. Glad I waited.
The best thing about driving to Denver for the macro class is that it took me closer to Roxborough State Park, which is a few miles southwest of Denver. If this beautiful place were closer, I would go there all the time. But it's more than 50 miles from my apartment.
Particularly along the Fountain Valley Trail, this is an especially notable example of what geologists call the Fountain Formation. This is a reddish conglomerate sandstone that is found in various places along the east side of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountain in Colorado. Boulder has its Flatirons and its Red Rocks; Colorado Springs has the Garden of the Gods; and Denver has the Red Rocks Amphitheater and Roxborough State Park.
Here's a broad view of the valley that I walked through this afternoon on the loop trail:
Here's a rock that may have a name. I don't know. But it looks suspiciously like some sort of animal to me, so I call it "Animal Rock."
Here is a special example of a plant that I find just about everywhere in Colorado:
They lock up the gate to the park at 5, and I got out just in time. But topping off the trip just a couple of minutes before closing I saw more antlers than I had ever seen before. Seven bucks each with two big racks were grazing right beside the road. While it's not unusual to see seven or more does together, I've never seen a group of bucks before.
At Roxborough State Park the Fountain Formation rocks rival the beauty of the animals. I've seen and photographed all of the famous Fountain Formations now, except for the Garden of the Gods. That's coming.

He spoke of murder like poetry,
Of hands on hearts,
Deep inside of forbidden secrets.
He whispered words like "torture",
And "eviscerate"
As if they were the sweetest things imaginable.
A thousand horrors roiling in my mind,
An insufferable urge to destroy,
To hurt
To inflict
Coupled with an incomparable joy
Found only
In one other.
His words were red and lush,
Covering things previously unknown
At once shadowed and enlightened;
Simultaneously brillant,
And terrible.
Absolutely beautiful.
He spoke of death like religion,
Like the last great adventure;
As some barely-concieved bit of brilliance.
He spoke of death as if he'd tasted it,
Somehow feeling my experiences through our bond,
Knowing more than me about things I've come so close to,
Dipped just deep enough into.
He spoke of beautiful,
Terrible things.
Of our mutual desires,
Shared nightmares
And combined promises.

ROGER A. WOOLSEY, Greeneville, for Appellee. Judge: McMurray First Paragraph: This is a divorce action. The defendant (wife) asserts on this appeal, among other things, that the trial court abused its discretion in denying a continuance of the trial. The record reflects that there was a great deal of confusion as to the way and manner the case was set for trial because of the resignation of the former Circuit Judge. The wife's counsel claims to have had no notice of the trial date until the day the case was set for trial. On that date, he applied to the court for a continuance. The court continued the case until the following morning at 7:00 a.m. Prior to the trial, the court allowed the wife's attorney to make a motion for a continuance on the record, with a written motion, to be filed as exhibit No. 1. Counsel's affidavit supporting the motion for a continuance was allowed to be filed as exhibit 2. REVERSED AND REMANDED.

Knoxville, TN 37902 Judge: PEAY First Paragraph: The defendant was indicted by presentment in May of 1991 on numerous charges related to a spree of robberies and other crimes. After a day of trial, the defendant decided to enter a plea of guilty. He was convicted of nine counts of aggravated robbery, two counts of attempted aggravated robbery, and three counts of aggravated kidnapping. Following a hearing, the defendant was sentenced. On appeal, the defendant questioned the appropriateness of his sentence and sought to raise a certified question. This Court and ultimately the Tennessee Supreme Court determined that the trial court improperly sentenced the defendant and remanded the case for re-sentencing. This Court also determined that while the defendant did not properly certify his question on appeal, he could attempt to do so upon completion of the re-sentencing. AFFIRMED.

HMRCS ORANGEVILLE originaly HMS HEDINGHAM CASTLE
The Humble Corvette: Canada's Navy

Few warships epitomize the Atlantic war more than the lowly Flower-class corvette. An auxiliary vessel hastily built to mercantile standards and pushed into service by the score, with poor equipment and green crews, the corvette was hardly a match for Germany's U-boat fleet. Nor did it inspire the imagination—except perhaps in perverse ways—of those who served in them.
But the humble corvette made Allied victory in the Atlantic possible: they allowed the convoy system to be extended throughout the North Atlantic, and they provided the 'forces of position' which freed better equipped anti-submarine vessels to do their job. Perhaps most important of all, the unpretentious corvette—especially the first 64 of the 1939-40 building program that carried Canada's war at sea until 1943—defined the formative experience of the Canadian navy and shaped its role for the next 50 years.
The ship that launched the Royal Canadian Navy onto the world stage was designed by Smith's Dock Co. Ltd., of the UK in 1939, and it was based on the company's recent whale-catcher, Southern Pride. A few modifications were made to the hull, superstructure, internal layout, communications equipment and accommodation to produce what was termed an auxiliary "patrol vessel." Winston Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty when World War II broke out, wanted to give the little ships names rather than numbers, and thought it would be good public relations to report that one of Hitler's sea wolves (U-boats) had been destroyed by a vessel named for a flower, like His Majesty's Ship Buttercup. So the Royal Navy dubbed the new ships "Flower-class corvettes" and gave them all names like Hibiscus and Poppy. The first British corvettes were ordered in July 1939, the same month that plans for the vessels arrived in Canada.

Initially the RCN had no use for corvettes. The ships were built to commercial standards, with limited internal watertight subdivision, no duplication of crucial systems, and antiquated steam reciprocating engines. In September 1939, the RCN planned to build Halcyon-class minesweepers as its primary small warship. These 815- to 875-ton sloops were a twin-screw naval design, the latest variant driven by geared turbine engines to a maximum speed of 17 knots and carried a crew of 80. However, Canadian shipyards could not work to naval standards and the turbine engines were too complex to be built easily in Canada, so the RCN settled for the corvette. It was a fair compromise in terms of cost and performance. Corvettes were roughly 100 tons larger than the Halcyons, their single screw drove the ship nearly as fast (approximately 16 knots), and they required only half the crewmen. More importantly, perhaps, corvettes were cheap, could be built by any firm capable of driving rivets, and their propulsion plant could be manufactured in Canada.
In the fall of 1939, the RCN needed about 25 corvettes to supplement or replace the civilian vessels brought into service when war was declared. These Canadian "patrol vessels" were to be assigned to the key defended ports along Canada's coastline and were intended to be jacks of all trades: patrolling, minesweeping, rescue work, examination service, anti-submarine warfare sweeps, and whatever else was required. When the navy hatched a scheme to barter Canadian-built corvettes for British destroyers, the government placed orders for a total of 64 corvettes in Canadian yards in early 1940. When the barter scheme collapsed, 10 of the contracts were transferred to the British. These 10 ships were built in Canadian yards, but to British account, and produced a distinctive subclass of the 1939-40 building program.

This corvette was built in the Leith Shipyards of Henry Robb as Ship No 344
In basic design, Canadian-built corvettes were identical to their British counterparts. The 205-foot hull was divided into three basic parts. The forward third was accommodation with messdecks for seamen and stokers, a wardroom and officers quarters. The entire midships section—about half the full length of the hull—was taken up by machinery: two fire-tube boilers in separate boiler rooms in the middle of the ship, astern of which lay the engine room. The boiler rooms were shielded by fuel storage tanks on either side, but the engine room was separated from the sea only by the thin steel plates of the outer hull. Aft of the engine room was another small messdeck, the tiller flats and storage.
The machinery of these early corvettes was of an old, simple and familiar type; cheap, easy to build, operate and maintain. The two Scotch marine boilers were basically large round drums filled with water, with three combustion chambers built into the base. Heat from these oil-fired chambers snaked through the water in a series of pipes until it was vented out the funnel. The steam was drawn off the top of the boiler through high-pressure pipes to the engine. Apart from the ease of construction and operation, the advantage of fire-tube boilers was that they held a large reserve of steam which was useful when a 'sprint' was needed to catch a whale—or a submarine. But the large Scotch boilers also limited the size of the fuel storage tanks on either side of the early corvettes and kept their range to approximately 3,500 miles at 12 knots, or 2,500 at their maximum speed of 16 knots.
The corvette's four-cylinder, double-acting vertical triple-expansion engines were old technology, too, perfected in the 1880s. Their great merits were ruggedness and simplicity, and the fact that they were so ubiquitous that finding engineers to run them was not a problem. The engines drew steam from the boilers at up to 200-pounds-per-square-inch pressure and used it to drive the high-pressure cylinder. The steam was then bled off to the intermediate-pressure cylinder before being sent to two large low-pressure cylinders at either end of the engine (hence 'triple' expansion with four cylinders). The exhaust steam was routed back into the boilers via a condenser. These engines generated 2,750 horsepower, and were remarkably durable. HMCS Sackville's power plant operated for 40 years. That ship, which is now the National Naval Memorial, is moored at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic on the Halifax waterfront, and tours of her are open to the public.

The only important difference in the hull between Canadian corvettes and their British cousins was the shape of the stern. The RCN completed its first 54 corvettes as auxiliary minesweepers and therefore needed wider quarterdecks to handle the equipment. Instead of the duck-tail shaped stern of British corvettes, including those first 10 built in Canada for the Royal Navy, Canadian corvettes had a broad, somewhat square stern. This allowed fairleads for minesweeping wire at the stern, while also leaving space for depth-charge rails and chutes. To make room for the large minesweeping winch, the Canadians repositioned the galley. In British corvettes the galley was aft of the engine room casing. This made for a long and treacherous walk along an open deck with food to the forward messdecks. The Canadians moved the galley forward, jamming it in just above number one boiler room. This also brought the galley much closer to the crew spaces.
The only other outward difference between Canadian and British corvettes was in the placement of the after gun position. The British placed the aft gun tub between the funnel and the engine room skylight. The early plans also called for mounting the mainmast on the after end of the engine room casing in order to provide a proper spread for the aerials. In British corvettes this meant that the after gun was seriously constrained in its arcs of fire, lest it shoot off the mast! The RCN moved the after gun position to the after end of the engine room casing, a move facilitated by the abandonment of the mainmast by 1940. The location of the after gun position remains the simplest recognition feature of corvettes built for the RCN.
Like their British counterparts, early Canadian corvettes mounted a four-inch Mk. IX breech-loading gun of WW I vintage on the forecastle or fo'c'sle. Designed as part of the anti-torpedo boat armament of British battleships, the gun fired a 31-pound shell a maximum of 12,000 yards. Its accuracy from a small, bobbing vessel was poor, except at point-blank range. The greatest value of the four-inch gun lay in forcing the submarine down so it could be pounded by depth charges, which composed a corvette's principal armament. Corvettes were originally fitted with two Mk. II depth-charge throwers (basically mortars), one on either side on the engine room casing, two rails at the stern and a couple of dozen charges. Wartime experience soon led to the addition of another thrower per side and an armament of 100 depth charges each filled with 300 pounds of explosives. Initially the material was TNT, but by mid-war much more powerful Torpex or Minol was used. One thrower on each side and one of the rails aft handled specially weighted 'heavy' charges that were designed to sink faster. By mixing the weight of the charges and the order of their firing, an attacking ship could create a three-dimensional explosion around the submarine and hope to crush its hull with the shock wave.

Canadian wireless and radio equipment, and refrigeration were superior to British equipment, but British corvettes were invariably better equipped for fighting. The British mounted a two-pounder gun in the aft position and fitted .50-calibre twin machine-guns (soon upgraded to 20-mm) on the bridge wings as secondary armament. Canada lacked the guns and in the early years had to settle for a mix of .50-calibre machine-guns and Lewis .303 guns in secondary positions. The twin .50 guns were of some value against aircraft and submarines on the surface, but the Lewis guns represented little threat to the enemy. Early Canadian corvettes also typically lacked good visual signalling equipment. Large signal projectors—searchlights fitted with controllable shutters—were initially unavailable and many of the early corvettes went to sea with a single hand-held Aldis lamp, a smaller, very short-ranged signal projector.
When HMCS Sackville was commissioned at the end of 1941, large signal projectors were still in short supply and she was limited to one through much of her early wartime career.
To be continued.

Britax Canada: New Frontier XT Combination Harness-2-Booster
Canadians rejoice! Britax has introduced The FrontierTM XT Combination Harness-2-BoosterTM, a new combination booster seat that offers the maximum harnessed weight and height capacity in the industry.
Along with it's True Side Impact Protection, this booster is designed to keep children in a five-point harness as long as possible. It helps to safely graduate children who are a minimum of 2 years old (and a weight of 25 pounds) up to 29.5 kilograms (65 pounds) with a seated shoulder height of up to 50.8 centimeters (20 inches). As a belt-positioning booster, the seat can accommodate children up to 54.5 kilograms (120 pounds) and 165 centimeters (65 inches) tall. That irritating twisting and sliding which is so common with car seats is preventable thanks to the cobble weave design with sewn buckle stops. It also offers a total of 10 harness positions and three buckle strap positions in order to accommodate the higher height limit and provide a secure fit.
"The True Side Impact Protection technology on the Frontier XT includes deeper side walls, and works to distribute crash forces, shield from vehicle intrusion, contain the head and body, and keep the head, neck and spine aligned. This is important because one in four of all motor vehicle crashes that involve children occur from the side, and these crashes result in a significantly higher injury rate than front or rear crashes."
The Frontier XT includes a number of parent-favorite features. These include: a quick-adjust head restraint, no-rethread harness, color-coded vehicle belt guides, Versa Tether®, Harness Ultra Guard System (HUGS™) and premium push-button lower connectors. The seat also offers big, comfortable armrests, dual cup holders, and a durable, washable cover.
Pictured in Canyon, this seat comes in three additional colors, Pink Sky, Rushmore and Red Rock and will be available at independent and mass retailers in March 2010.
Price: $299.99 CAD

Karnataka crisis deepens, 9 BSY loyalists quit
Upping the ante to oust CM DV Sadananda, nine ministers loyal to former Karnataka chief minister BS Yeddyurappa reportedly resigned on Friday.
Zeenews Bureau
Bangalore: Upping the ante to oust Chief Minister DV Sadananda, nine ministers loyal to former Karnataka chief minister BS Yeddyurappa reportedly resigned on Friday, festering a fresh round of crisis for the BJP government in the state.
The ministers who resigned from Gowda's cabinet include Jagadish Shettar, CM Udasi, V Sommanna, Basavaraj Bommai, Murugesh Nirani, Revu Naik Belamagi, M P Renukacharya and Umesh Katti. Another Minister Raju Gowda would quit soon, reports say.
Emerging from Gowda`s official residence, PWD Minister C M Udasi said, "There was a trust deficit between the Ministers and the Chief Minister in the last 3-4 months. We had been pressuring the Chief Minister to convene the BJP legislature party meeting. That also did not happen," he said.
He said many issues raised by the MLAs were not addressed by the Chief Minister."So we have decided to resign. We also brought the issues to the notice of central leadership."
Earlier in the day, the ministers met at the residence of Rural Development Minister Jagadish Shettar, whom Yeddyurappa has been propping up as successor to his loyalist-turned foe DV Sadananda Gowda, and held parleys for an hour, party sources said.
They later met Yeddyurappa, who has been sulking after being forced to quit last year in the wake of Lokayukta report on illegal mining indicting him and asked by the party to come clean in the corruption cases for his reinstatement.
The rebels` move came a day after the BJP leadership sought to buy more time to resolve the Karnataka crisis and asked Gowda to cancel his proposed visit to Delhi. Gowda had planned to meet the top leaders amid persisting speculation over change of leadership.
Sources said the dissidents were in no mood to accept the high command decision of "wait for some more time".
The central leadership whose efforts to put the house in order have been a failure let it be known that there is no question of change of leadership at least till the Presidential elections are over by the middle of next month.
Meanwhile, BJP general secretary and party in-charge in Karnataka tried to play down the issue saying the crisis would be resolved through talks.
"We are aware of the situation in Karnataka. We are talking to all the important leaders of the sate. We are hopeful of finding a solution to the problems," Pradhan told reporters in New Delhi.
BJP state unit chief K S Eshwarappa admitted that while one group of MLAs has been demanding Gowda`s replacement, the other is against such a move.
A section of the BJP MLAs is strongly backing Gowda and has reportedly warned that replacing him would lead to their resignation, which would inturn bring down the Government.
The present strength of the Gowda ministry is 23, including the eight whose resignations are yet to be accepted, with 11 vacancies against the statutory limit of 34.
Gowda, handpicked by Yeddyurappa himself, faced trouble after the state party strongman went all out to regain the chief ministership only to be told by the party central leadership to come clean in the spate of corruption cases he is facing.
Having lost hopes, Yeddyurappa has been promoting Shettar, also from the majority Lingayat community to which he belongs, as their camp`s chief ministerial choice.

Accompanists Lorrie Heagy and J. Allan MacKinnon accompany the Juneau Lyric Opera's community chorus in a recent rehearsal for the "Holiday Pops" concert Dec. 12-14.
Accompanists Lorrie Heagy and J. Allan MacKinnon accompany the Juneau Lyric Opera's community chorus in a recent rehearsal for the "Holiday Pops" concert Dec. 12-14.
Story last updated at 12/11/2008 - 5:02 pm
JUNEAU - Holidays music piped into retail stores might start to wear on holiday shoppers' nerves, but nothing will restore spirits like a chorus performing classic songs of the season.
The Juneau Lyric Opera's community chorus will present a Holiday Pops concert Dec. 12-14.
Chorus Director Sally Smith first organized a Christmas choral concert in 1971.
"There's so much (musical) literature that people don't do that much anymore," she said. "We hear it on the radio as "Jingle Bells" kinds of things, but not real choral arrangements of the music as we used to do it."
A total of 49 singers from the community will participate in the concert. Some are familiar voices from the Juneau music scene, but there will be new voices joining in chorus as well.
"The nice thing about choruses is that they are usually open to the community," said chorus member and JLO Director Frances Field. "You get a great group of people who have never sung together as a group before and you make this (beautiful) sound. It's pretty amazing what can happen."
The first half of the concert will include secular songs such as "White Christmas" and "It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas," but in choral settings unlike what is usually heard on the radio, Smith said.
Guitarist Dan Hopson will accompany and also perform solo pieces, such as "Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire."
In the second half of the program, the chorus will move on to sacred pieces such as "O Holy Night," "Adestes Fidelis" and "Silent Night." Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" will by accompanied by guitar and Juneau Brass will join the chorus on "Joy to the World." Lorrie Heagy and J. Allan MacKinnon will bring their talents to the piano accompaniment.
The chorus has been able to avoid buying expensive scores for the copyrighted music by borrowing music from a host of different organizations in town, including the high school, Northern Light United Church and the Juneau Oratorio Choir.
"We couldn't do it without the support of these places," Smith said.
The concert is family-friendly and discounted family tickets are available.
"This is a great concert to bring families to," Field said. "If people have been having trouble getting into the holiday spirit this is going to (cheer) them right up. It just warms the heart to hear."
The Juneau Lyric Opera's community chorus will perform their Holiday Pops concert Dec. 12 and 13 at 7:30 p.m. at Chapel by the Lake and Dec. 14 at 3 p.m. at the Juneau Arts and Culture Center. Admission is $12 for adults, $8 for students and seniors and $30 for a family. Tickets are available at Hearthside Books.

The family of a Groves man is working with Groves police to find a man missing since last week.
Deena Stanley said her boyfriend, 45-year-old John Sikes, was last seen Friday afternoon in Beaumont.
"Devastating, I don't know where he's at I don't know if he's alive," Stanley said. "I don't know if he's ok. I just want him to come home."
She said he was last seen wearing a green neon shirt, blue jean shorts, orange tennis shoes and a pink backpack.
Stanley said Sikes was riding a blue bicycle from Groves to Kountze when he disappeared.
A family friend said it is uncharacteristic of the father of three to disappear this long without contacting someone.
Stanley said he is diagnosed with several medical conditions but did not take his medications with him when he left their apartment on Friday.
"If there's anyone out there whose seen anything or knows anything, even if he doesn't want to be here, just let me know he's ok," Stanley said.
Police said they don't have enough information to determine if his disappearance is criminal or something else.
Sikes is listed at 6'1, 220 lbs. He has brown hair and eyes.

Now... worst case, if those two have bad years next year, well, at least we have another option with Cook and Wash. Best case... wow. If the running game returns to a strength, and Britt recovers well, this offense could be among the league's best. A lot of that, of course, depends on Locker. But we've now given him every opportunity to succeed. Wright, in particular, is a perfect compliment to what we have. Now I generally prefer a big receiver, but we have that in Britt. Now, we have a true deep threat. This kid will be a lethal slot guy, as his change of direction is amazing. He has good concentration and catches the ball well. A four man pattern of Wash, Wright, Cook, Britt with CJ coming out of the backfield is gonna be pretty sick. When I watch Wright, I see Steve Smith. Very similar games IMHO. Zach Brown- This guy is raw, true enough. But he has elite talent. He apparently has had bad coaching at UNC, as both he and Coples have poor fundamentals. However, the kid, from what I read, has expressed a desire to improve, and is a jaw dropping athlete. I figure worst case, he is a great special teamer, and a third down blitzer/cover guy. Best case scenario, this guy is a linebacker the likes of which we've never had. The guy runs a 4.4! Good luck turning the corner on that! And with the Grahams, Gronks, Davis, and Hernandez of the world, you need a linebacker that can cover well. AS a plus, it appears the Colts are attempting to build a TE centered offense, so he should help there. The guy carries risk, but the upside is HUGE. Can't fault the FO taking a swing on that. Mike Martin- I love this guy. Big, strong, mean, what's not to like? Will be a great run stopper, and from what I saw, is a better pass rusher than the experts say. He and Casey, with Klug coming in to rush from time to time, should be very good. Bye Bye Question Marks. __________ So all in all, I'm happy. Our team is better tonight than it was 36 hours ago. Now we need a center, and anything else is gravy.

The Canterbury Tales
Physical Description
white beard
red face (representative of his cheerful temperament)
heavy in weight (as a result of overindulgence)
short dagger and silk pouch hanging from belt
The Franklin is described to be guilty of gluttony, one of the seven deadly sins. He is excessively greedy when it comes to eating and drinking. It is noted in the prologue that
"his house was never without baked fish and meat in such a quantity that it snowed food and drink, the choicest that you could imagine"
(7). The Franklin leads a luxurious life filled with fine meals available to him at every hour of the day. Although he fails to realize it, it is evident that he is exceeding the necessary quantity of food. As an affluent man, he faces no shortage of food; however, by overindulging in food and drink, he can be accused of withholding food from the needy.
The Franklin is described to be a friendly man who welcomes all guests to his home with open arms. He is considered to be
"a substantial landowner, St. Julian in his part of the country"
(7). The prologue alludes to St. Julian, the patron saint of hospitality, to show that the Franklin's well-respected position in society requires him to similarly provide generous hospitality to the members of his community. As a result of this responsibility, the Franklin's table remains laid with the finest delicacies and his pantry remains stocked with an assortment of wines at all times.
"Woe to his cook unless the sauce were pungent and sharp and all the equipment in order"
if a guest were to arrive at moment's notice
Physical Description
waxy yellow hair
smooth face
carries religious relics and pieces
glaring eyes
small, goatlike voice
possibly a eunuch
questionable sexuality
The Tale:
After a sermon preaching against drinking, gluttony, gambling, and swearing, the Pardoner tells of three riotous, young men who go seeking to kill a thief called Death. Upon learning from an old man where he is, they meet Death in the form of eight bushels of gold coins. After plotting to kill one another for financial gain, each man ends up dead due to murder to poison. The Pardoner then uses this tale to warn of greed and to sell fake pardons to his listeners, including the Host.
The Pardoner tells this tale to trick his company into buying his pardons, forcing them to see their own greed and sinful ways. However, it also shows his own hypocrisy, as he is the most greedy of them all and is at fault for everything he preached against.
The Symbol
The deck of cards represents the Pardoner's trickery and deceit. Cards are often used by magicians for magic tricks, fooling their audience to believe the hoax. This is accurate for the Pardoner, because he claims to rid people of their sins while only stealing their money.
The Tale
The Symbol
The sponge represents the Franklin's gluttony. Sponges are conventionally viewed as household items that are capable of soaking up large amounts of liquid relative to their small size. They are symbolic of the Franklin because he similarly tends to take in more than his fair share of food, drink, and wealth.
Present Day Pilgrim
Today, the Pardoner would be forced to be a street performer in a low social class. A street performer must be good with dealing with groups of people and performing in front of them, which the Pardoner does when telling his sermons. Also, he does not make much money and is not very high in social status, both applying to Chaucer's pardoner pilgrim.
Present Day Pilgrim
Soon after his marriage to Dorigen, Averagus, a courageous knight, leaves for England. During her husband's absence, Dorigen is approached by Aurelius, who has secretly loved her for years. She jokingly agrees to be with him if he can remove all the rocks from the coast of Brittany. Realizing that the task is impossible, Aurelius hires a magician to create the illusion that all the rocks have disappeared. Upon returning home, Averagus tells his wife she must honor the promise she has made. Aurelius learns of his noble deed and releases Dorigen from her promise. Impressed by Aurelius' honorable act, the magician then consequently also clears him of his debt.
The tale that the Franklin tells reveals the importance of keeping one's word. It conveys the message that all promises, even those made in jest, must be fulfilled. The tale also reveals the Franklin's sense of optimism. The reader expects some type of betrayal to take place, and the happy ending seems slightly unexpected.
If this pilgrimage were taken today, the Franklin would be represented by an individual who symbolizes new money such as Mark Zuckerberg. The Franklin, though not of noble birth, managed to become a wealthy landowner ranked just below the gentry in social order over time. Zuckerberg, a self-made billionaire, similarly was not born into old money and acquired his wealth through his own efforts.
The Pardoner's only purpose is to make money. He swindles and sweet talks with fake relics and false pardons in order to receive real money. He even hypocritically preaches against greed, when he is only trying to coax money out of those around him. Though it is out of avarice, the Pardoner makes a great deal of money working this job; the Host says,
"And with these same relics, when he found a poor parson living out in the country, he made more money in one day than the parson made in two months"
. Ultimately, this selfish man takes advantage of people's religious demands for his own greedy gain.
Talking sweetly is part of the Pardoner's ruse. He sings merrily and loud, drawing attention and appearing to be a cheery fellow who people can trust. Truly, his only goal is to make money, but this lyrical quality is helpful in achieving this goal. It assists him, because
"he could read a lesson or a parable very effectively, but best of all he could sing the offertory; for he knew very well that, when that service was over, he must sweeten his tongue and preach to make money" (14)
. The Pardoner effectively talks his listeners into buying his fake religious items.
The Pardoner is fraudulent and underhanded, deceiving people into buying fake pardons which they believe will save them of their sins. In his quest for money and riches, this swindler becomes a dishonorable worker, basing his job on tricks and hidden secrets, hiding the fact that he is not truly a holy pardon-seller. Instead,
"with feigned flattery and tricks, he made monkeys of the parson and the people"
to satisfy his thirst for fortunes
. The Pardoner's deceitful nature builds the narrator's contempt for the pilgrim, suggesting that Chaucer was not fond of him either. The narrator clearly believes him to be a lying, deceiving con man by the way he sarcastically calls him a
"noble ecclesiastic" (14)
The Franklin is deemed to be a well-respected figure in society. As a freeman, he is no longer bound to the nobility by the feudal system. Considered a man of substance, he is ranked just below the gentry but above the vassals in social order. Because
"he was lord and sire of the sessions and had frequently served as member of parliament from his shire,"
the Franklin is admired by the people of his community and is regarded to be an honorable man (7). His identity as a wealthy landowner guarantees him a well-respected position in society.

Sorry, no definitions found. Check out and contribute to the discussion of this word!
Sorry, no etymologies found.
Because of course, the fulfillment of stamping out widgets on the assembly line is so great it has inspired homeric epics.
I´ve been reading Derek Alcott, a Carribean poet, who´s writing in the homeric-style (I´ll insert an example later).
From his earliest manhood he had followed the drum, first under the veteran Dutch commanders in their long war against Catholic Spain and then under the greatest captain of the age, the veritable 'Lion of the North', King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden, in his homeric struggle against the Imperial tyranny of the Holy Roman Empire on behalf of German Protestantism. ''
Or was it the scene of some homeric combat _seul à seul_?
The body of native criticism remains as I have described it; an endless piling up of platitudes, an homeric mass of false assumptions and jejune conclusions, an insane madness to reduce beauty to terms of a petty and pornographic morality.
The poet was hymning the homeric struggle of the great goddesses, whose lances had clashed together since the beginning of the ages: the eternal Iliad which is to that of Troy what the Alps are to the little hills of Greece.
It was a veritable barbecue, a crude and primitive feasting, barbaric, homeric.
When was the heroic policeman sung in homeric verse before?
He stripped to the waist, and each man presented a rounded development of muscular power, which would have done credit to any of the homeric heroes; but there was a look of grand intelligence and refinement in
Since its birth, the history of the Le Mans 24 Hours has been marked by homeric duels between the major manufacturers.

Which is why the current paypal system works better. I dont have to buy a Security certificate for my web store. you order your crap and buy it on my non-secure site, and when it needs to be secure, it drops you to paypal where you verify the amount and click on "yes, send the money"
I have ZERO interest in using their new system if it will cost me more money by having to buy a cert I really do not need.
Exactly my thoughts when I heard this. I once implemented half a dozen pretty different payment APIs into a web page.
There are only two ways to make this secure:
1. Direct the user to PayPal, and then let PayPal direct him back, sending a special encrypted session id and/or data forth and back.
I prefer the first variant though, because
1. It does not require and plug-ins, and even runs in Lynx.
2. With payment providers offering to brand their payment page in the originating site's style (while still making clear that this is the payment provider's page), there is no point in embedding it in the own page anyway.
Mind you that I implemented both solutions back in 2003/4. So this is very old news, except apparently for PayPal, who seem to have a NIH syndrome.
There are literally billions of dollars waiting to be spent in increments as low as fractions of a cent at a time, and yet the infrastructure and fee systems are keeping that commerce from taking place.
Infrastructure costs money. Today you can go anywhere - to a store or on the internet - and purchase something with a credit card and the tranaction will be approved in a matter of seconds. It took many years and LOTS of money to create that infrastructure.
And that's the problem with transactions involving a payment of only a few cents (or fraction of cents). The fee you have to charge in order to pay for all that infrastructure is considerably more than the cost of the transaction itself. The "price floor" is not imaginary or arbitrary, it is real and it is dictated by the cost of the infrastructure needed to handle transactions.
"Paypal has never been anything but a processing center. "
Actually it's a bank located in Luxembourg since a couple of years.

David R. Barrera, Petitioner and Appellant
State of North Dakota, Respondent and Appellee
No. 20000195
Appeal from the District Court of Burleigh County, South Central Judicial District, the Honorable Gail H. Hagerty, Judge.
Opinion of the Court by Maring, Justice.
Steven Balaban, 418 E. Rosser Avenue, Suite 102, Bismarck, N.D. 58501-4046, for petitioner and appellant.
Cynthia Mae Feland, Assistant State's Attorney, Burleigh County Courthouse, 514 E. Thayer, Bismarck, N.D. 58501-4413, for respondent and appellee.
Barrera v. State
Maring, Justice.
[¶1] David Barrera appeals from a trial court's orders, denying his application for post-conviction relief and denying his motion for reconsideration. Under N.D.R.Crim.P. 32(c)(4)(B), Barrera argues he was denied the opportunity to adequately review his presentence investigation report prior to his sentencing.(1) Barrera failed to raise this issue in his previous application for post-conviction relief. We have previously concluded "it is a misuse of process to raise issues on subsequent post-conviction applications that could have been raised in the initial application." Clark v. State, 1999 ND 78, ¶ 19, 593 N.W.2d 329. See also Silvesan v. State, 1999 ND 62, ¶ 9, 591 N.W.2d 131; State v. Johnson, 1997 ND 235, ¶ 12, 571 N.W.2d 372; McMorrow v. State, 537 N.W.2d 365 (N.D. 1995). We affirm the trial court's orders.

Carol Ronning Kapsner
John C. McClintock, Jr., D.J.
Gerald W. VandeWalle, C.J.
[¶3] The Honorable John C. McClintock, Jr., D.J., sitting in place of Sandstrom, J., disqualified.
1. "Any disclosure to the defendant of the presentence investigation report . . . must occur at least 10 days before sentence is imposed unless this minimum period is waived by the defendant." N.D.R.Crim.P. 32(c)(4)(B). Under this rule, it is clearly the better practice for the trial court to expressly ask the defendant personally to waive the minimum ten-day period in open court, if a defendant has not received his presentence investigation report at least ten days prior to sentencing.

Discussion in 'New Talent & Track Reviews' started by rysk, Jul 10, 2013.
still very much WIP, so the mix is a little off.
easy man.
not heard any of yr tunes for a while ( i been away from pc at nights)
impressed m8. really like this so far. drums are good n heavy - like the atmos pads in the back and the 2 basses work
big ups
Every thing is fairly nice. Why don't you try and work on structure. That is were I believe you need to improve the most at this point.
how do you mean? like, more variation in the space of 8 bars? some kind of fill?
- - - Updated - - -
also, might change the drums, not liking my chopped up amen all that much....too noisy.
I enjoyed the drums. I almost feel like there should be a higher-register lead over it or something. I listened to after the drop a few times; I really like the heavy bass you end up with; I do feel the part of the bass you kept over from the first part could have been a bit different, as now it plays part in call-and-response, and is not just the only bass. I am not sure what IV4 meant by structure, but I would agree that the hardest work ahead of you is turning those great ideas in the WIP into a full song with coherent parts...
Separate names with a comma.

Toeing the Boundary Between Complicity and Incrementalism
by annie
(this is an opinion piece, and does not represent the sentiments of the Student Senate)
Oberlin is "progressive", or at least we like to commodify ourselves that way. - first to admit women and people of color. "We are oberlin. fearless." says the motto that we spent millions of dollars in commercial investment developing.
why am i here? how progressive can oberlin get within the brainpower economy, and the neo-liberal arms-race for cultural capital*? And doesn't the act of participating in private liberal arts education make me complicit with the regime of social stratification--> a part of the structures i aim to subvert?
but regardless
i guess whether or not we consent to the the capitalist framework, we are inundated with it and its resources. and oberlin has a lot of salient resources- legitimately excellent professors, online databases... a network of peers
so once we have come to terms with the fact that we are navigating as consumers, we can realize the saliency of incrementalism,,, and of coming together with other consumers to clarify our wants.
According to the poll board from the transparency project display in mudd, Oberlin students collectively value responsible investment, financial aid, environmental initiatives, and paying lower paid staff more equitably.We do not want the administrators to be paid more, and fewer people value better dorms or higher quality food. Just collecting a consensus like that is a good start.
In the spectrum of prestigious colleges, Oberlin does not do poorly in these regards. Krislov does not make nearly as much as the President of harvard, and in fact, nobody in the administration makes over 250,000 a year. We give numerous environmental or solidarity grants, are fairly receptive to environmentalist initiatives like the bottled water restrictions, and we spend much less on manicuring the campus than many other colleges. And we don't provide a business major. none of our iniquities are outside the ordinary.
true- if change takes place here, it's going to have to take place everywhere because oberlin is still operating within the same framework as everyone else- competing for the tuition savings funds of prospective students, and trying to balance their budget at the same moment. but there is a lot to be said for organizing locally and engaging with your own community. so do it. be a smart consumer and band with the other consumers, and decide intelligently and intentionally what product you want the manufacturers to produce. And while you are doing that, you can still work towards catalyzing the larger revolution.
Here are a few things you can do towards shifting the priorities of the college:
-directly tell the trustees, and The President your problem
(ie: the school has a current portfilio at only about 15% from renewable sources at this time. (from the Why is the College Still on Coal Energy?)
-write a petition and collect signatures (see: Write a Petition)
-Talk to a Student Senator, or go to the Senate Plenary at 7:00pm every sunday in wilder 115. They can write a resolution- which is a formalized document that makes student opinions official and historical.
*CULTURAL CAPITAL- knowledge as commodity, a self marketing tool.
what are we doing here?
