The Ravens take on the Buffalo Bills this week, a team they haven't met since the 2007 season. As such, we've never done a Bills version of Lookalikes! up until now, and their roster is just full of goofy and/or familiar looking players. Let's get down to it…
We'll start with an easy one. Although we've never done the Bills before, we HAVE done quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, back when he was with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2008. Still looking like Emile Hirsch, Mr. Harvard?
Ah, I see you are.
Moving right along then.
Here's long snapper Garrison Sanborn, who you may recognize from the hit movie, "The Hangover:"
Not so much? Alright, alright we can do better.
Second tight end Jonathan Stupar probably had some awful nicknames growing up, given that unfortunate last name. However, in recent years, he seems to have adopted the simple moniker "Mac."
Next up, we have eighth year linebacker Chris Kelsay, who is a dead ringer for heavy metal rocker Henry Rollins:
I'm not sure if Rollins ever played football, but I bet he'd make one bad ass linebacker if he did. Much better than Kelsay, anyway.
Speaking of linebackers, fourth year veteran Paul Posluszny was very highly thought of as a second round draft pick from "Linebacker U," Penn State. However, injuries have plagued him throughout his short career, as he has played in all 16 games just once.
Maybe he wouldn't get injured so damn much if he didn't spend all of his down time swinging through trees…
Alright. If you've stuck with us this far, through this admittedly (thus far) bland set of lookalikes, you're about to be rewarded.
Remember the 2003 movie "Bad Santa" starring Billy Bob Thornton? If so, you'll also no doubt remember the flick's co-star, this kid:
Well, he's all grown up now, and is an offensive lineman for the Buffalo Bills! Behold:
Aww, he's still got those cute fat little cheeks!
Hey, you know what I just noticed? Apparently Buffalo has the "All Goofy Looking White Dudes" roster. No wonder they are 0-5. Unfortunately though, as we've seen so far this season, white guys tend to give the Ravens fits (see: Danny Woodhead, Peyton Hillis). Luckily none of the above guys are running backs…
Go Ravens.

Read this great Nick Cave article from CNN.com.
Nick Cave gives Europe the 'Abattoir Blues'
LONDON, England (CNN) -- Australian doom merchant Nick Cave and his band the Bad Seeds head to Europe this week after a triumphal UK tour promoting their latest album, which is reported to be selling faster than any before it in their 20-year career.
They play a short series of gigs in major European cities to showcase "Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus," and on the basis of Friday's concert in London these dates are worth catching if you want to see a unique performer at the peak of his powers.
Blending Cave's visceral vocals, a four-voice gospel choir and the Seeds led by long-standing sidekick, guitarist Mick Harvey, the band give a spellbinding performance let down only by the disappointing acoustics of the high-ceilinged Brixton Academy.
Prowling the stage like a "demented whisky-priest," as one reviewer described him, Cave seemed out to prove that domestic tranquility in the southern English resort of Brighton had not detracted from his work.
The first half of the show, comprising material from this year's excellent double album, was warmly received with the singles "Nature Boy" and "There She Goes, My Beautiful World" set to become future Cave classics. The energy levels throughout the 2 1/4-hour concert were phenomenal: leading the band in an unlikely clapalong during "Supernaturally" while dancing in his extraordinary way, the former Birthday Party frontman puts the many forty-somethings in the audience to shame. And it's a wonder how his cigarette-hardened voice lasts the course.
After a brief interval, the band really come alive with older songs such as "Stagger Lee," "Deanna," "The Red Right Hand" and closing with "The Mercy Seat."
The latter song, from 1988's "Tender Prey" album, is greeted with rapturous applause that lies incongruously with the subject matter of murder, death row and damnation; Cave always did do downbeat ones in the most upbeat way though.
A fabulous performance then, and judging by postings following the Paris concert on Monday, one that is being repeated across the continent. If you can get hold of a ticket, don't miss out.

The 124cm Kemble Conservatoire SH model has a sensational sonority and wonderful dynamic range. Whether it is the crystal clear treble or the deep powerful bass, we invite you to enjoy the tonal superiority of the Conservatoire. The Conservatoire was awarded a much-coveted 'Diapason d'Or" by the French music magazine Diapason, which tested six pianos in its price range.
The Conservatoire.. 'is agreeable to play, has a very comfortable touch, and is the most immediately satisfying on the level of sonority. This elegant piano (very British) is described as very reassuring with a feeling of solidity that our pianists rate as very important. It has a good homogeneity …and is powerful. It has a charming and attractive sonority…" Diapason.
Kemble believe that this is visually the most exciting of their softline designs, with beautiful rounded edges and profiles. The subtle use of brass inlay further enhances the visual experience. Longer keys and precision manufactured action ensure increased sensitivity and greater responsiveness of touch. Practice pedal comes as standard, as do solid double brass castors.

Elderly Kendall man confesses to murdering longtime wife, police say
An elderly Kendall man grew enraged after his wife refused to cook him a hamburger, stabbing her to death and covering up the crime by staging a burglary to their home, police say.
Bartolo Gelsomino, 78, now faces second-degree murder charges in the death of his wife, Ana Gelsomino, 71.
Their adult daughter discovered Ana's bloodied body at the Gelsominos' Kendall home on 10700 block of Southwest 146th Court the night of Jan. 21. She was last seen that morning "in good health and uninjured," according to a search warrant served at the home.
But Miami-Dade homicide detectives grew suspicious when Gelsomino's adult son told them his father "had a history of domestic violence" toward him and his mother, the warrant said.
As police combed the house, Gelsomino — a Sicily-born retiree who speaks primarily Italian — showed up to the scene and investigators noticed "two different possible blood stains" on his shirt.
Miami-Dade detectives scrambled to find a translator, finally securing an Italian-speaking Aventura police sergeant to help. According to an arrest report, Gelsomino eventually confessed to stabbing his wife with a knife from their kitchen after the argument escalated.
Gelsomino later led detectives to a trash bin in a nearby warehouse area where he had ditched the knife and other items from the crime scene, the arrest report said.
Prosecutors will arraign Gelsomino Feb. 11 in front of Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Migna Sanchez-Llorens. He is being held at the Miami-Dade County Jail.

The NFL's review of the rule that bit the Detroit Lions in Thursday's 34-31 overtime loss to the Houston Texans could start as early as this week.
|Take a look at photos from the Thanksgiving Day matchup between the Texans and Lions.
According to two league sources, the NFL's competition committee is considering organizing a conference call in the coming days -- the committee is certain to discuss a change at some point; it's a matter now of when -- to amend the rule that prevents reviews when coaches throw the challenge flag after scoring plays and turnovers. One league source called a potential in-season change "possible but not necessarily likely."
There is some thought that coaches will be more judicious for the rest of the season, given the high-profile and costly nature of the incident involving Lions coach Jim Schwartz, whose challenge-flag throw negated the Lions' right to have Texans running back Justin Forsett's touchdown run reviewed during the game.
The competition committee generally is against changing rules in-season for competitive-balance reasons but reserves the right to do so in extreme cases.

Educator and civil rights activist Mary McLeod Bethune was born on July 10, 1875, in Mayesville, South Carolina. Mary was one of 16 children born to former slaves Samuel and Patsy McIntosh McLeod.
After completing her studies at the Moody Bible Institute, Bethune moved to Daytona Beach, Florida, in 1904 to start her own school. She taught reading, writing and home economics to African-American girls in a one-room schoolhouse. Bethune's modest school eventually became the Daytona Normal and Industrial School for Negro Girls.
In 1931, the institution started by Mary McLeod Bethune became Bethune-Cookman College. Learn more about the life and achievements of Mary McLeod Bethune, including the founding of Bethune-Cookman College and her impact on civil rights, on Florida Memory.
UPDATE: On Tuesday, February 28, 2012, Governor Rick Scott announced the first inductees into the Florida Civil Rights Hall of Fame: Mary McLeod Bethune, Claude Denson Pepper and Charles Kenzie Steele. Established by the Florida Legislature in 2010, the Florida Civil Rights Hall of Fame recognizes individuals who made significant contributions in furthering civil rights for all Floridians.

Rod sets up the blueprint melêé. July 9, 2010.
Initially, I had this set up as a "Random Things" blog post with a ton of videos, but since Yy's new clip dropped today, I figured I should change it up. Last summer (Holy shit! Time flies), I was asked to participate in the filming of Yy's "Who's Effin' With Me" by mcenroe himself, and I was more than happy to be involved. It's no secret that Peanuts & Corn is one of my favorite labels, and that the roster are all homies of mine. This was a lot of fun to do, and it shows in the vid. Thanks, Rod! Check it out!
Go here for the rest of the rest of the shots I took that night. Yy's Tape It Back Together is out now, and you can get it at the P & C site, or on iTunes.
Here's a crapload of other videos I hope you'll enjoy!

The Weekend Dish: 3/31/2012
It's the weekend again! This week went especially fast, with us finishing up our vacation in Florida and getting back to Pittsburgh. We left early on Wednesday morning and drove the 1,000-plus miles all in one day, getting back a little after 1am. It's a hardcore drive, for sure, but easier when it ends at 1am versus 3am (which we've done twice before). After piles of laundry, unpacking, mail sorting, picking up taxes, and all of those not-so-fun, back-from-vacation necessities, I am slowly getting caught up on everything. In other fun news, I'll be making two trips down to Consol Energy Center this weekend – last night we saw Van Halen in concert, and tomorrow I am taking my mom to the Pens/Flyers game. Here's to a great weekend for everyone!
As always, you'll find a recap of what was posted to the site this week as well as some bookmarked recipes from other blogs. Enjoy!

DUDLEY � A New York actress and stunt driver accused of fleeing a state trooper on Interstate 84 in Sturbridge was arraigned Tuesday in Dudley District Court.
Anita Storr, 63, of 232 E. 78th St., New York, N.Y., was charged with leaving the scene of a property damage accident, failing to stop for a police officer and negligent driving.
She was released on personal recognizance by Judge Timothy Bibaud, and is due back in court for a pretrial hearing April 23.
On Dec. 3, after being signaled to pull over on the highway in Sturbridge by Trooper Jason Trout � who had been told by another motorist of a dangerous driver � Ms. Storr stopped briefly but then drove away, a police report says.
The trooper followed her for about three miles using the blue lights, siren and air horn to urge her to pull over as she tried to close a broken door, he wrote.
She was driving a badly damaged Fiat and was steering the car in a "serpentine" pattern back and forth across the roadway, a police report says.
The Fiat is registered to James L. Moskovitz of Long Beach, N.Y.
The Fiat had damage from the front quarter to the rear that had caused "structural and mechanical damage" that prevented the door from closing properly, the trooper wrote. Ms. Storr allegedly said the damage was caused by someone hitting her.
The trooper followed her to a gas station, where she allegedly told him she thought he had been giving her an escort. She also allegedly told him her portrayals of police officers in her television and movie roles were better than his real-life role as a trooper.
Ms. Storr has had small parts in television shows including "Ugly Betty" and "Law & Order SVU." She also played a prisoner in the 2012 Adam Sandler film "That's My Boy," according to the Internet Movie Database.

This story has a bear-y sad ending.
The black bear who was famously snapped falling out of a tree on a college campus last week has died.
The bear was caught by a student photographer at the University of Colorado in mid-fall from a tree after being tranquilized by authorities.
Officials said that they had transported the bear to a wilderness area far away from the campus where it would be safe and away from large human populations, the Daily Camera reported.
They apparently didn't bring it far enough.
The bear was hit by two cars early Thursday while walking on a highway, the newspaper reported.
"Basically we know this bear was headed back to town," Jennifer Churchill, a spokeswoman for the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Department, told the Daily News. "This happens more often than not when we relocate bears."
Officials estimated that the bear weighed between 150 and 200 pounds and was between one and three years old.
Students at CU Boulder expressed sympathy for the lost animal last month when the bear came to check out the campus.
"I think it's a shame that we can't all live peacefully with nature; I mean, we encroached on their territory," sophomore Lauren Cross told the CU Independent. "That bear had to fall a long ways from that tree."
As the bear's fame grew, thanks in large part to the quick-to-go-viral photograph, fans opened the "Falling Bear" Twitter and Facebook accounts.
"I took my last fall early this morning :-( But I'm in a better place now," the Falling Bear Boulder's Facebook page read Friday morning. "It wasn't easy being a living internet meme!"
While the bear's fame was slightly giggle-worthy, his sad demise revived officials' warnings to not feed bears and clean up trash in order to help discourage them from coming around humans.
"We have a burgeoning population here and we do not have wilderness where bears are seperated from people," Churchill said. "People kind of live everywhere throughout the state, and we know for sure we have a really healthy black bear population and they are attracted to our human food sources."

MOREHEAD, Ky. – After its deepest run into the Ohio Valley
Conference tournament since winning the championship in 2000 the
Tennessee Tech soccer team fell 4-0 in the championship game to
Murray State on Sunday.
The Golden Eagles won back-to-back double-overtime games on Thursday and Friday against Eastern Illinois and host Morehead State to advance to the championship game, but defending regular-season champion Murray State got on the board early, and would not look back.
"It wasn't the outcome we were looking for, but I couldn't be more proud of the girls," Tennessee Tech head coach Becky Fletcher said. "They fought their way into this championship. They went to double-overtime in back-to-back games and still had the legs to come out today and compete."
Rebecca Shultz put the Racers up 1-0 five minutes into the contest with a shot from inside the box off a pass from Kalli McCoy. McCoy scored Murray State's next goal nearly 10 minutes later to put MSU up 2-0. Sydney Smith would add another before halftime, and Rachel Wright would score Murray's final goal, both off assists from Danielle McMurray.
"We just could not get on the scoreboard today," Fletcher said. "Murray played an excellent game. They are a very good team, and will be a very good representation of the conference in the NCAA tournament."
Michelle Decker and Ashley Smith each had two shots on goal for the Golden Eagles, and Tech held an 8-6 advantage in that category, but could not find the back of the net. Tech also took a slim 11-10 advantage in total shots. Sophomore goalkeeper Kaitlyn Thacker finished with two saves.
Jacquie Watkins, Kris Cambron, Kerri Reid, Jennee Kimball and Andrea Meloff each finished with one shot for the Golden Eagles.
Jen Hoffman, Kris Cambron and Michelle Decker Eagles were name to the OVC all-tournament team. Hoffman recorded only the sixth hat trick in Tech history when she scored all three of Techs goals in a 3-2 win over Eastern Illinois in the first round. It was the first ever hat trick for a Golden Eagle in the OVC tournament.
"Those goals were pretty lucky to me," Hoffman said. "I know that I wouldn't have gotten those goals without my team. Not only from the other ten players on the field but from the bench. I know that a lot of players really stepped up and proved themselves this whole tournament, which is really special to our group."
Cambron had one goal and an assist in the tournament.
The Golden Eagles were playing in their second-consecutive OVC tournament under second-year coach Fletcher after missing the tournament the previous four seasons.
"We just talked about how nobody would have believed on August 4th that we would make it this far," Hoffman said. "We're looking forward to the future and we've got to springboard into next season. We have a lot of returnees, and another class coming in, so hopefully that will mean good things for the future."
Tech was picked to finish fifth in the OVC, and finished in fourth place after going 3-3-2 in league play and 5-11-3 overall. Tech finished the year with a 7-12-3 overall record. Tech's seven wins are the most by a Golden Eagle squad since 2004. Defender Brittany Rogers is the only Golden Eagle to complete her eligibility this season.
"We've got a really young team with just one senior so I'm hoping that the girls get a taste of it now and we know what their hard work can lead to," Fletcher said. "It's going to motivate them. I couldn't be more proud of my team, of the girls, they did a great job. They have bought in and this is a great bunch to work with so I'm excited to see what the future holds."

Lost In The Trees Announce North American Tour Dates
The second album by celebrated North Carolina collective Lost In The Trees will be released this March 20th via Anti-Records. In anticipation, this unique and deeply evocative ensemble has announced a series of North American live performances.
The group's new record, entitled A Church That Fits Our Needs, is a work of vaulting ambition built on loss and transformation. In the summer of 2009 writer, composer, and general architect of the group, Ari Picker, lost his mother, an artist, when she took her own life. Picker set about transforming the event into a musical tribute.
While this might sound like a somber affair, A Church That Fits Our Needs is anything but. Picker, a classically trained composer, utilizes rhythm as its own emotional language, never losing the propulsive inevitability and vitality of great rock and roll. Above all this is pop music, in the way that "A Day In the Life" or Radiohead's "No Surprises" are pop music, seeking to present complex ideas to the widest possible audience.
Lost in the Trees will kick off their touring with a special performance at the invitation of Neutral Milk Hotel's Jeff Mangum at All Tomorrow's Parties UK and then head across North America via an several performances at SXSW. The response to the group's previous record, All Alone In An Empty House, and recent live performances has been one of immense praise:
Critical Acclaim For Lost In The Trees:
"The band has a stage presence that is absolutely mesmerizing while boasting a catalog of songs that are both heart wrenching and beautiful." - Paste Magazine
"The band's rich, fully realized arrangements elevate Picker's heartfelt songwriting to memorable heights." - Washington Post
"A labor of love, for sure, and we're its beneficiaries." - NPR
"The band unplugged their instruments, hopped off the stage, and played a stirring rendition of "Time Taunts Me." From his spot in the middle of the floor, Ari lead the crowd in a beautiful sing-a-long with the ardor of a street corner evangelist desperate to save souls. I, for one, left the room a convert." - Brooklyn Vegan

No. 77 Team Fails to Qualify in Homestead
November 14, 2008
HOMESTEAD, Fla. (November 14, 2008) – Sam Hornish Jr., driver of the Penske Racing No. 77 Mobil 1 Dodge Charger, did not qualify for the Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Friday afternoon.
With the No. 77 team currently outside of the top-35 in the 2008 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series owner points standings, Hornish was required to qualify for Sunday's race on time. He posted a fast lap time of 32.072 seconds at a speed of 168.371 miles per hour, but the effort was not strong enough to secure a starting position for the Mobil 1 team.
"We were just a great deal tighter than what we were in practice," said Hornish. "As soon as I touched the throttle the car started turning up the track and ended up scuffing the wall a little bit. It's unfortunate, but the guys worked real hard on the Mobil 1 Dodge all year and put a lot of effort into it. This is not the result today that we needed, obviously."
Coverage of the Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway will air live on the ABC television network and MRN Radio on Sunday, November 16 beginning at 3 p.m. ET.
Pole: David Reutimann

Client affinity is defined between a client connection and a data source. When client affinity is defined, requests from a specified client connection are distributed to a specified data source in a data source pool.
The client affinity feature reduces the risk of propagation delay in deployments that use load balancing. Propagation delays can occur when a client makes consecutive requests that target the same entry if those requests are not treated by the same data source. For example, a client might make one request to change an entry and a second request to use the changed entry. If the second request is treated by a data source that has not been updated by the first request, an error occurs.
Client affinity can be configured in the following ways:
Enabled or disabled
Configured for all write requests after the first write request
Configured for all requests after the first write request
Configured for all requests after the first read request or write request
Configured for first read request after a write request
Configured to expire after a specified time
Client affinity takes precedence over the load balancing algorithm. Directory Proxy Server distributes a request from the specified connection to the specified data source, irrespective of the load balancing algorithm.
If client affinity is defined and enabled, the load balancing algorithm takes precedence in the following circumstances:
The request that starts client affinity has not occurred
The request that ends client affinity has occurred
The client affinity time-out has expired
The specified data source cannot be used for a request, or an error has occurred on the specified data source
A data source cannot be used for a request in the following circumstances:
It is offline.
It is not configured to perform the operation being requested. For example, a data source that is configured for read requests cannot respond to write requests.
For information about how to configure client affinity, see Configuring Client Affinity in Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.2 Administration Guide.
The client affinity feature must be used to configure Directory Proxy Server as a simple, connection based router. For information, see Configuring Directory Proxy Server as a Connection Based Router in Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.2 Administration Guide.

The Last Column
Photo by Joe Woolhead
Washington, DC—A memorial to the victims of the September 11 attack on the World Trade Center, the mementos of Civil War officers, and a blockhouse from an 18th-century Russian trading fort in Alaska are among the thousands of historically significant objects that will be conserved with the 2009 Save America's Treasures (SAT) grants. The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), in collaboration with the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities (PCAH), the National Park Service (NPS), the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), awarded $9.5 million in grants to 41 organizations to conserve significant cultural and historic treasures related to American history and culture.
"Save America's Treasures invests in our nation's irreplaceable legacy of buildings, documents, collections and artistic works," said First Lady Michelle Obama, Honorary Chairman of the PCAH. "These awards empower communities all over the country to rescue and restore this priceless heritage, and ensure that future generations continue to learn from the voices, ideas, events and people represented by these projects."
"The Institute of Museum and Library Services is proud to support Save America's Treasures," said IMLS Director Anne-Imelda Radice. "These awards are part of IMLS's commitment to conservation that includes ongoing grant programs and Connecting to Collections: A Call to Action, a multiyear initiative to help improve the state of our nation's collections."
IMLS began the Connecting to Collections initiative in response to A Public Trust at Risk: The Heritage Health Index Report on the State of America's Collections, a 2005 Heritage Preservation study supported by IMLS, which concluded that:
- 190 million objects need conservation treatment,
- 65 percent of collecting institutions have damaged collections due to improper storage,
- 80 percent of collecting institutions lack an emergency plan for their collections and trained staff to carry it out, and
- 40 percent of institutions have no funds allocated in their annual budget for preservation and conservation.
The evaluation and recommendation of SAT grants is carried out by an interagency group that blends cross-disciplinary expertise of the federal cultural agencies (IMLS, NEA, and NEH) and the NPS, which administers the program in collaboration with PCAH. In addition to reviewing and making recommendations on grant applications, each agency administers a number of grants. This year, IMLS will administer grants to six institutions:
1. National September 11 Memorial and Museum, New York
The Last Column, a steel column of the World Trade Center, was transformed into a living memorial to victims of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Despite its apparent solidity, exposure to harsh sunlight and fluctuating humidity has severely compromised its steel surface and its mantle of ephemera, including writings, photographs, and votive tributes that were layered onto its surfaces. This project will conserve the Last Column so that it may be placed safely on permanent exhibition.
2. Civil War Museum of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA
The personal records, possessions, and memories of the Union officers who founded this Philadelphia museum in the 19th century constitute one of the finest collections of Civil War documents and artifacts in the country. The grant funds will help to conserve and rehouse items in urgent need of treatment, including manuscripts, photographs, paintings, flags, uniforms, and weapons. ($150,000)
3. Kolmakovsky Redoubt Collection, Fairbanks
This important historic collection contains more than 5,000 artifacts, including the first building erected at the site. Kolmakovsky Redoubt was the first Russian fort in the interior of Alaska and was the major trading center on the Kuskokwim River from its establishment until the purchase of Alaska in 1867. This project will rehabilitate and preserve the blockhouse and stabilize the archaeological collections.
4. Denver Museum of Nature & Science Anthropology Collections, Denver
The museum's 56,000-piece anthropology collection encompasses a rich and diverse range of objects, photographs, documents, and materials from a portfolio of George Caitlin to the photographs of Edwin Curtis to Native American artifacts. Funds will support conservation of collections and objects in preparation for moving them into a new facility.
5. Shelburne Museum, Shelburne, VT
The Shelburne Museum, founded in 1947, holds a collection of approximately 150,000 works of folk art, fine art, and Americana from the 17th to the 20th centuries, and is Vermont's largest cultural attraction. This grant will support the design and construction of a communications system that will integrate the museum's fire, security, and environmental control systems, which is crucial for the long-term protection of its artifacts.
6. Chapel Car 5 Messenger of Peace, Snoqualmie, WA
The Chapel Car Messenger of Peace, a wooden rail car built in 1898, traveled the country for 50 years as a mobile church bringing modern evangelism to the frontier and helping to establish churches in numerous communities. With grant assistance, deteriorated structural components, windows, siding and roofing, and other features will be repaired and replaced, restoring the Chapel Car to its 1920 appearance.
Other funded SAT projects highlight this country's rich architectural legacy including two rare surviving 17th-century houses of worship and the works of leading 19th-century and 20th-century of American architects like David Burnham, Stanford White, and Frank Lloyd Wright. Rare first-hand accounts of modern dance's beginnings are told in photographs at Jacobs Pillow. The ideas and aspirations of post-war Americans are captured on tape from This I Believe radio program. And a window on a lost Native American culture is revealed in 18th-century Friendly Association Papers. These grants will ensure that the nation's cultural and historic legacy can be experienced by the next generation of artists, scholars, students, and citizens.
"Save America's Treasures represents an exceptional process that blends the best expertise of our federal cultural partners and the National Park Service to select and recommend projects of exceptional value to our nation's cultural and historic legacy," says George Stevens, Co-Chair of PCAH. "With the support of Congress and the White House, this program exemplifies what the public and private sector can accomplish together in preserving these pre-eminent symbols of our democracy and cultural values."
In its 10-year history, Save America's Treasures has made more than 500 competitive grants to address the preservation needs of the structures, places, documents, artistic works, and artifacts that are deemed most significant to the nation. To maximize private investment and support for these efforts, the program's private partner, Save America's Treasures at the National Trust for Historic Preservation, helps organizations secure the required private match, and provides assistance to SAT grantees and preservation projects all across the country. In 2009, Save America's Treasures received 402 grant applications from eligible organizations. Two panels of federal experts representing preservation and conservation disciplines reviewed the applications and made final recommendations to the Secretary of Interior.

Marshall Vian Summers claims to be receiving a new message from God. Over the past thirty years, Summers has recorded more than 800 spoken revelations while living in seclusion in the foothills of the Colorado Rockies. He claims these revelations come from God and are being given to him by angelic emissaries.
When asked about his "New Message," Summers said, "It was revealed to me by an Angel of God, a powerful, mysterious presence that filled my mind and the surrounding environment with grace."
In the beginning, Summers found believers in his wife, his son and a small group of committed students. Yet now, a growing number of people are staking their faith in Summers' claims, and most live far from Colorado.From South Korea to Uganda to Saudi Arabia, people are congregating virtually on Summers' website, and his organization regularly releases translations in seven languages.
With followers worldwide, Summers' organization has turned to live internet broadcasting to preach the word. One Sunday a month, Summers presents via webcast an "original revelation of the New Message from God" to his viewers.
And on February 6th, Summers will descend Moses-like from his proverbial mountain in the Rockies to offer his newest digital stone tablets from God. This month's release: a 47-minute revelation entitled "Deeper Recognition in Relationships."
Thoughts? Besides "He is full of crap."

Tsk, Tsk, Stud, there you go, getting angry again :D
Tell me how you jump from talking angels inside marshall's head to aliens turning into body snatchers?
Interestingly, she refers to the Earthly religious system as a "sick, sadistic fairy tale," yet she refers to the space entities as, "Elohim," the Hebrew word, from the Old Testament meaning, "the gods." Why would the space entities need to borrow their name from a sick, sadistic fairy tale?
Also, before producing a video for publication, it would behoove the creator of it to ascertain that all of the words are spelled correctly (several were not), as misspelled words detract from the credibility of the message.
Using phrases from known Sci-Fi works, such as Star Trek's, "where no one has gone before," and Douglas Adams' "life, the universe and everything," again detracts (IMO) from the creator's credibility.
Sorry to be so critical of the video, but though the editing was well done, the written message could use some improvement.
Elohim does not mean "gods" but "star people". It is an old way to say star people or extraterrestrial people. Well I do have issues with spelling when I process things in a haste...when using anxeity as a driving mechanism and i tend to spaz out with not being a "spelling nazi" an amusing term, and i see them only after I uploaded the video while taking a drink and watching over... but its readable. Well I dont make money in giving information or providing information. Well those are common phrases people on this planet understand, and adds in humor and light hardheartedness I suppose, or not ?
"There once was a man with a tongue of wood,
Who essayed to sing,
And in truth, it was lamentable,
But there was one
Who understood what the man
WISHED to sing,
And with that, the singer was content."
I quite understood, despite the few words that were mispelled, what you were saying - I'm certainly not a spelling Nazi, I couldn't survive without my spelling dictionary - my only concern was that you might be taken less seriously.
Was that YOUR video? Your production? If so, as I stated earlier, the editing was impressive, as well as the scene selections - overall, an good job!
Yes , Thanks :-)
Awesome dissolves, seamless sound and visual editing, a very professional production! You do good work.
Hello, I have been following this one for quite some time, for almost over a year now. I have a personal opinion and conspiracy theory about this chap and group, religion whatever you call it. In my Google search for evidence to prove the conspiracy about them. First I would state the conspiracy theory about them, and then share what I have found and experienced with my interaction with them. Thats how i found this website and this discussion.
The conspiracy theory is that they have been implemented to as a propaganda mouth piece for implementing, the plans the religio-political elite to create a war that would end all wars as well to fulfill "biblical prophesy" , the last card agenda Carol Rosin talks of, which the war first starts off as a fake alien invasion of bio-genetically engineered beings from genuine extraterrestrial genetic material from genuine crashed ufos, and reverse engineered UFO technology, where this technology should be used to benefit humanity and general science and not be kept hidden or secret. So i am going around looking for evidence to proove or disproove the conspiracy theory, to find the ultimate truth.
I have personally confronted them with this conspiracy theory and have some evidence to support it, but still looking for more evidence to proove it. In their text they demonize extraterrestrials in a fascist manner that all of them that do visit this planet are a threat to humanity, that they would produce the ultimate hollywood alien invasion scenario. Yes extraterrestrials have visited this planet, but there has been no invasion, from what is observed is that the violence is the shoe on the other foot, that visiting craft coming here on pure science expeditions were in fact indeed shot down from the sky using a weapon created from onf of Tesla's confiscated patents, claimed by JP Morgan (one of the religio-political elite).
This group has been targeting and attacking people who have their own spiritual beliefs about things eg; starseed communities who are not part of any organized religion, as they focus their beliefs on themselves other than throwing it on other people. "You can worship a rock for all I care… just don't throw it at me". Since they believe that starseeds/starseed community is a threat and get lies from extraterrestrials rather than seeing that some of them believe things , and get things wrong when using mysticism and understanding that is the truth to the errors of starseeds/channelers etc, and realizing that they are human and everyone makes mistakes, and everyone is on their own path of consciousness evolution in discovering the life, the universe and everything in their own way.
I have found them to act like Islamic extremists, where they tell you one thing, but in fact do the opposite to push their religious belief. It has very similar to the religious groups that had started off in the middle eastern countries which were part of the CIA to generate a or start a war so that that they would claim natural resources.
So what I have personally encountered from them ? Threats and more threats , cyber-bullying, and even they believe it or not contacted G4S security to pop in for a visit to my home flat when their parrot quoting techniques form their so called books Allies Of Humanity and New Message from God just did not work with me.
Yes they are fraud and yes they have made money from their ordeal...
I had done a blog about them in more detail...
or this video...
Interesting, especially the last video.
Thank you
Sorry to be so critical earlier, Danielle, I just believe that if a work of art - and a written piece or a video certainly qualifies for that definition - is going to be presented to the public as a finished work and is expected to be taken seriously, it should have been as finely tuned as possible. On my own website, I have been known to go back into a post, just to add or delete a comma. I'm my own worst critic, but when I DO present a work, I can know that it will be judged on its content, rather than on it's errors - friendly, not critical, advice.
No problem, I tend to be messy when I have to repeat myself over and over again :p It gets tedious when a video has been processed or rendered, its text has an error.... and also to note when I have seen my little errors of text and spelling, I have deleted the project file... oops.. I would think you have done the same thing too before. But when doing a quick video to prove a point and in the height of anxiety at midnight , errors do become common, issue, I have taken your critic analysis of it as something to note in the future :-)

Ampakines are a new class of modified benzamide compounds known to enhance attention span and alertness. Their action is theorized to be due to facilitation of transmission at cortical synapses that use glutamate as neurotransmitter. This in turn may promote plasticity at the synapse, which could translate into better cognitive performance. The ampakines take their name from the glutamatergic AMPA receptor, which they strongly interact with.
Unlike earlier stimulants (e.g. caffeine, methylphenidate (Ritalin®), the amphetamines) they do not seem to have unpleasant, long-lasting side effects such as sleeplessness. They are currently (2005) investigated as potential treatment for a range of conditions involving mental disability such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia or neurological disorders as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), among others. In a 2006 study they were shown to have an effect after they had left the body, continuing to enhance learning and memory.
Some examples include: CX-516 (Ampalex), CX546, CX614 and CX717.
Ampakines work by allosterically binding to particular receptors in the brain, called AMPA-type glutamate receptors. This boosts the activity of glutamate, a neurotransmitter, and makes it easier to encode memory and to learn. In addition, some members of the Ampakine family of drugs may also increase levels of trophic factors such as Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF). Modafinil (brand name Provigil) exhibits an affinity for the dopamine reuptake pump as well, blocking excess dopamine from being removed by the brain. How this effects the drug is not known, however this may be responsible for the weakly reinforcing and euphoric properties of modafinil in particular. Other such drugs which are known to prevent the reuptake of dopamine into post-synaptic neurons are methylphenidate, cocaine and bupropion.
Side effectsEdit
Few side effects have been determined, but an ampakine called farampator has side effects including headache, somnolence, nausea, and impaired episodic memory. [1]

Crossing Broad brings us this tale of how Roy Halladay gives a menacing, literate answer to a reporter's silly softball:
Q: Can you talk about the balance of being in touch with what the other team's capable of, having the proper respect, but at the end of all that, thinking about what do I know I can do and what our team is capable of, so you don't give too much respect or too little? That balance there.
Halladay: I heard a quote a long time ago, I came here to bury Caesar, not praise him.
Unfortunately, the rest of it is boring and fluffy. Go back to the Folger Library, Doc, and study up! [Crossing Broad]

No more costly and bureaucratic stamps for public documents – European Commission acts to slash red tape in all Member States
Today the European Commission is proposing to slash red tape for citizens and businesses by doing away with bureaucratic rubber-stamping exercises currently required to get public documents like your birth certificate recognised as authentic in another EU Member State. Currently, citizens who move to another Member State have to spend a lot of time and money in order to demonstrate that their public documents (such as birth or marriage certificates) issued by their Member State of origin are authentic. This involves the so-called 'Apostille' certificate which is used by public authorities in other states as proof that public documents, or the signatures of national officials on documents, are genuine. Businesses operating across EU borders in the EU's Single Market are also affected. For instance, they will often be required to produce a number of certified public documents in order to prove their legal status when operating cross-border. These requirements date from an era when countries would only trust a public document if it came from the foreign office of another country. However, just as we trust in each other's court judgements, we should be able to trust a Member State's Registry Office issuing birth certificates, without needing their foreign office, justice ministry, or other authorities to vouch for them. Today, the European Commission is therefore proposing to scrap the 'Apostille' stamp and a further series of arcane administrative requirements for certifying public documents for people living and working in other Member States.
"Every time you cross a border, you don't have to get your foreign office to confirm that your passport really is a passport – why should you have to do so for a birth certificate?" said Vice-President Viviane Reding, the EU's Justice Commissioner. "When you move abroad, having to go through these costly formalities in order to establish that your birth certificate is indeed a birth certificate or simply to make use of a company certificate creates a bureaucratic headache. I have heard countless stories about the hassle involved in satisfying these incomprehensible requirements. Today, the Commission is acting to simplify people's and companies' lives when they exercise their free movement rights in the EU."
Under the Commission's proposals, adopted today, citizens and businesses would no longer have to provide costly 'legalised' versions or 'certified' translations of official documents when, for example, registering a house or company, getting married, or requesting a residence card. Twelve categories of public documents1 would automatically be exempted from formalities such as 'Apostille' and 'legalisation' – which are currently required for around 1.4 million documents within the EU each year. Abolishing these requirements will save citizens and businesses in the EU up to 330 million euro, not counting the saved time and inconvenience that is avoided.
The new rules will not, however, have any impact on the recognition of the content or the effects of the documents concerned. The new rules will only help prove the authenticity of the public document, for example whether a signature is authentic and the capacity in which the public office holder is signing. This will have to be mutually accepted between Member States without any additional certification requirements.
The Commission is also proposing a further simplification tool: optional multilingual standardised forms in all EU official languages that citizens and businesses could request instead of and under the same conditions as national public documents concerning birth, death, marriage, registered partnership and legal status and representation of a company or other undertaking (see Annex for examples). This would particularly help to save on translation costs, since the attraction of such an option is that it frees citizens and businesses from having to worry about translations. The design of these forms has taken inspiration from specific international conventions2.
The proposal also provides for safeguards against fraud. If a national authority has reasonable doubt about a particular document, Member States will be able to check its authenticity with the issuing authorities through the existing Internal Market Information System (IMI).
According to a Eurobarometer survey in October 2010, 73% of Europeans believe that measures should be taken to improve the circulation of public documents between EU countries.
In response, in 2010, the European Commission published a Green Paper on promoting the free movement of public documents, and held a public consultation on the possible means to facilitate the use and acceptance of public documents.
The European Commission is working hard to remove all obstacles frustrating citizens. The EU Citizenship Report 2010 (see IP/10/1390 and MEMO/10/525) outlined 25 concrete actions to tear down remaining barriers EU citizens face when exercising their right to free movement in the EU. With today's proposal the Commission is delivering on its commitment.
In 2012, the Commission held a broad public consultation asking citizens what problems they have encountered in exercising their rights as EU citizens (see IP/12/461). The process of having a document accepted as authentic in another Member States was one of the issues brought up by citizens.
Real life example of problems faced by EU citizens
"I recently got married in Luxembourg but the procedure for the recognition of my birth certificate was very long and expensive. It is based on an expensive 'apostille' system. The system might be useful at world level, but in the EU it is a painful way of proving the lack of cooperation and trust between administrations."
- a Romanian citizen, responding to the 2012 public consultation on EU citizens' rights.

Building a raised garden bed
Source: Dr. Chris Starbuck, associate professor, University of Missouri Department of Horticulture
Living with hard, sterile ground that won't even grow weeds is not an excuse to avoid gardening. Instead of digging in the ground, rise above it with a garden bed.
Raised beds are an attractive and practical solution for any size yard. They're neat compartments that tame rampant plants and solve bad soil problems. I like them because you don't have to jar your teeth loose with a garden tiller every year. It's also easier than trucking in topsoil and installing a drainage system.
Dr. Chris Starbuck with the University of Missouri says raised beds solve two big issues for gardeners -- water and soil compaction.
"You'll have a situation where water will move through quickly and has some place to go when it gets to the bottom of the bed. It drains off so your plants are sitting in saturated soil," Starbuck says. "That's a huge benefit and then associated with that of course is they have more pore space that contains oxygen so the roots can breathe."
A bed that's 8 or 10 inches deep is enough to get some of those benefits. If you're growing big carrots or an intensive garden, the sidewalls should be a couple inches higher. For those who can't bend over, raised beds are a good idea because you can make the sidewalls as high as necessary. Build benches on the sides for even more convenience. My achy back is feeling better just thinking about it.
The most popular material for building the frame is wood, but if it's not treated wood, it'll rot pretty quickly.
Some people are concerned about the chemicals used to treat wood getting into the soil. "A lot of people will line their wooden sidewalls with plastic so that whatever's used to treat the wood won't leach into the growing medium inside the bed," Starbuck says.
Lumber is readily available in four-foot lengths, minimizing the amount of sawing necessary. But wood is just one option for raised beds. Be creative and use whatever border material you have laying around. Then fill it with commercial topsoil and compost.
Raised beds are designed for walking around, not in. Make them no wider than four feet. It's easier to tend the garden from both sides. They can be as long as you want, limited only by your needs.
Lay down mulch or straw on pathways between beds. You'll control weeds and not have to squeeze a lawn mower through.

Yemeni leader says al Qaida fighters there include Brazilians, Europeans
The Yemeni government launched an ambitious ground offensive Tuesday targeting strongholds of al Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula militants in the southern provinces of Abyan and Shabwa as President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi sought to draw public attention to the rising number of foreign fighters who've traveled to Yemen to fight for the group.
At least 18 Yemeni soldiers and 12 militants were killed in the first day of fighting in what's likely the Yemeni army's most significant action since spring 2012, when troops backed by local tribal fighters forced AQAP-affiliated militants to abandon their strongholds in the west of Abyan province, where they'd set up a state within a state.
Speaking at a graduation ceremony at Sanaa's Police Academy, Hadi defended the offensive Tuesday, alleging that the bulk of AQAP's fighters were foreigners.
"Whoever is doubtful of that among our brothers should go to the morgues and see the corpses of people whose countries have refused to accept them," he said. "They're from Brazil, the Netherlands, Australia, France and other foreign countries."
Hadi's statement was a salvo in the government's propaganda war against the militant group, which has been able to use Yemenis' grievances against their government to rally support. By highlighting the presence of so many foreigners, he hopes to show that al Qaida's agenda is not a Yemeni one.
But the remarks also reflected what many security officials have said is an alarming rise in foreign fighters joining AQAP, many of whom have been fighting in Syria previously.
AQAP has long had a significant contingent of non-Yemenis, given that it was formed by a merger in 2009 of al Qaida's Yemeni and Saudi branches. But according to Yemeni officials, the past three months have seen a noticeable increase in the numbers of Saudi extremists heading to the country to join AQAP, the result of continuing fighting between extremist groups in Syria and an effort by other Arab countries, particularly Saudi Arabia, to decrease the flow of foreign fighters to Syria.
The battle between two jihadi groups, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria and the Nusra Front, for control of northern and eastern Syria has drawn some of the most extreme fighters to Yemen, the officials say. That's because key groups in Yemen have voiced their support for ISIS, though AQAP has officially struck a neutral tone.
"Yemen is a logical place for ISIS sympathizers to head," said a Yemeni official briefed on security matters, speaking only on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the topic.
The presence of the jihadis will complicate the government's offensive.
"What Hadi said is not new to us. Not only are many members of AQAP foreigners, but many Yemenis within the group were raised abroad," said Abdulghani al Iryani, a Sanaa-based political analyst. "It's going to be a tough battle."

Behold, young Padawans, as Angry Birds Star Wars II is now live on the Store for Windows Phone 8 users—and it's even a day early from the official September 19 launch date (beating out iOS and Android). What is even more fantastic? Those with a Lumia 520 or other 512 MB devices can get in on the action too.
The game weighs in at 32 MB and will cost you 99 cents (with a free trial). The epic saga continues in the follow up to the original Angry Birds Star Wars game, and we have to admit, it's looking very fresh.
Featuring excellent HD graphics optimized for Windows Phone 8 and even optional in-app purchases (yes, they're not going away), Angry Birds Star Wars II should keep many of you busy while in class, at work or avoiding your significant other (hey, we all do it).
So what's new in version II? This edition of the game is focused on the god-awful prequel movies, but hey, that doesn't mean it can't be a fun game! It features the Pork Federation and you can even "Join the Pork Side" to play as "the fearsome Darth Maul, Emperor Palpatine" and more. And yes, Darth Maul has his patented double-lightsaber, which should be a blast to use in this game.
That's actually hella cool.
You also get
- 30+ PLAYABLE CHARACTERS! Our biggest line-up ever of playable characters – Yoda, pod-racing Anakin, Mace Windu, Jango Fett and many more!
- BECOME A JEDI OR SITH MASTER! So many Bird and Pork Side levels to master, plus a bonus reward chapter and a ton of achievements to unlock!
Even though the Angry Birds thing is getting a bit old, we're suckers for Star Wars tie ins, which is probably what Rovio is expecting. So yeah, instant purchase for us.
For you, you can check out the trailer above to get an idea of the game or just head here to the Store to grab a free trial.
Angry Birds Star Wars II – 32 MB – Windows Phone 8 (+ 512 MB) – $0.99 – Store Link

CALGARY HEALTH TRUST | 1 in 8 babies born will need the care of the NICU. Help us give every infant a fighting chance to live the best life possible. Your support of the Sport Chek Mother's Day Run, Walk and Ride helps to provide the equipment and resources to give them just that.
Some babies come into the world as early as 23 weeks and weigh as little as 500 grams. How can we help them live the healthiest lives possible? The care these babies receive in the first minutes, hours, days and sometimes even months in the NICU can mean life or death and have lifelong impact on their development and future health.
Proceeds from the 2018 Sport Chek Mother's Day Run, Walk & Ride will go towards the redevelopment of the Foothills Hospital NICU. This new space will put leading-edge research into action, combine the very best in people, space and technology and ensure that every newborn has access to the specialized care and attention only world-class NICU's can provide.
Thank you for your participation in the 42nd annual Sport Chek Mother's Day Run, Walk & Ride and Calgary Health Trust. Together, we are transforming health care for our community today and well into the future. For more information, visit www.calgaryhealthtrust.ca.
