Pol pitches ACA changes to lobbyists
House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy huddled Wednesday with roughly 40 K Streeters to rally their support for a bill that would change Obamacare's definition of a work week.
The bill would increase the definition of a full-time week from 30 hours to 4o hours, the current bar at which employers are required to provide health coverage for their workers.
Story Continued Below
The bill is expected to hit the floor next week. It's the latest salvo in the Republican's war on Obamacare on the Hill. Like other attempts to change the health care law, this one is also unlikely to get through the Democratic-controlled Senate.

The Retail Industry Leaders Association, International Franchise Association, National Retail Federation and American Hotel and Lodging Association coalition leaders were among the downtowners present.
McCarthy implored the groups to encourage employees to share stories about the negative impacts the law is having on employment and paychecks.
"We don't want to just pass this bill. We need to send a message to the White House and Congressional Democrats that this law is hurting the middle class," McCarthy said, according to a source in the meeting.

The California Republican was joined by Republican Conference vice-chair Lynn Jenkins (Kansas), the bill's author Rep. Todd Young (Ind.) and Rep. Phil Roe (Tenn.).
Young walked the coalition members through the meeting while Jenkins raised the issue of how women and young adults are hit hardest by the employer mandate. Roe also brought up a local grocer he knows who will be forced to cut employee hours due to the mandate. House Republican Conference Chairman Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington State is asking members to collect negative stories about Obamacare.
McCarthy has taken the lead in trying to rally the rank and file around health-care related legislation But there's a larger goal: an Obamacare replacement bill. On Tuesday, McCarthy huddled with GOP lawmakers who are trying to find a replacement to the health care law. Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) has committed House Republicans to a vote, although it's completely unclear if and when that will happen. Cantor is working with committee chairmen over the next few weeks to try to get consensus around a plan.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Welcome to the Ohio Valley Conference,
Jud Dillard.
Welcome to the record books, Frank Davis.
And, welcome back to the win column, Golden Eagles.
On a night when Davis was recognized for breaking the school record for most career 3-pointers, the senior from Gainesville, Ga., led Tennessee Tech with 25 points on the way to a 94-90 victory over arch-rival Austin Peay Thursday night in the Eblen Center.
Dillard, a freshman from Riverdale, Ga., (photo at right) was 11-for-12 from the field on his way to a career-high 23 points and six rebounds to help the home cause in front of 2,591 noisy fans, Tech's largest home crowd of the year.
Tech was helped by a balanced offensive attack with five players in double figures. In addition to Davis and Dillard, Alfred Jones contributed a double-double with 12 points and 12 rebounds, Elijah Muhammad had 12 points, eight rebounds and four assists, and Kevin Murphy finished with 11. Freshman Terrell Barnes chipped in with nine points, six rebounds, three assists and two steals.
Justin Blake led Austin Peay with a career-high 20 points, one of four Govs in double digits. Anthony Campbell had 19 points and six rebounds, Wes Channels 16 points, six rebounds, five assists and three steals, and Tyrone Caldwell 16 points.
Tech improved to 9-10 overall and 3-5 in the league, winning its first conference game at home. Austin Peay's record leveled out at 10-10 overall and 4-4 in the OVC.
The win wasn't without drama as Austin Peay fought back from a 13-point deficit in the final three minutes to pull within three at 90-87 with 18 seconds remaining.
Davis canned two free throws with 15.5 seconds left to make it 92-87 and Caldwell was fouled attempting a 3-pointer with 9.8 seconds. He made one of his three free throws, slicing Tech's lead to 92-88. Muhammad made both charity tosses to get Tech's lead back to 94-88, before an APSU tip-in at the buzzer finished the scoring.
Nothing at the start of the game foreshadowed what was to come, as the Governors roared out to a commanding early lead. APSU was on top by nine, 11-2, in the first three minutes, and the lead reached double figures at 22-11 with eight minutes elapsed.
The Govs maintained a double-digit advantage for five minutes before Tech began to whittle away on back-to-back baskets by Jones. Davis scored six of Tech's final eight points in the half as the Golden Eagles clawed their way back to within 44-43 at the break.
The contest saw four ties early in the second half before Tech jumped on top to stay with a 3-pointer by Davis with 13:01 remaining to make it 56-53. Tech nursed a small lead for several minutes, eventually taking it to double digits with five minutes left. Tech's largest lead was 13, the final time at 87-74 with 2:52 remaining.
The Govs ralied with a 13-3 run, including 3-pointers by Blake and Channels, and when Blake hit a layup with 18 seconds to go it was 90-87.
Tech shot 55.6 percent from the field (35-for-63) and held as 41-34 advantage on the boards. Austin Peay countered with 53.1 percent shooting accuracy, including 44.4 percent (12-for-27) from long distance.
The Golden Eagles will face another stiff test Saturday night when Tennessee State visits for an OVC doubleheader, with the women's game starting at 5:30 p.m. and the men's to follow at 7:30 p.m.

I love, love, love scarfprint and when I saw this fabric, I had to have it. :)
I made the pattern myself so the "based upon" isn't exactly the same pattern, but it comes really close. I made the pattern myself, because I wanted it to fit perfect onto the scarfprint.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Nov. 20, 2012) – East Tennessee State University head women's basketball coach Karen Kemp announced Tuesday that Shamauria Bridges (Miramar, Fla.) has signed her national letter of intent to play with the Lady Bucs starting in 2013-14.
Bridges, a 5-foot-5 left-handed guard out from Miramar, Fla., carries a winning pedigree as she helped guide Hollywood Christian to the 2010 state championship. Overall, Bridges has helped her teams compile 76 wins over the last three seasons of high school ball.
"We are extremely excited to get a guard of Shamauria's quickness and athleticism," said Kemp. "Shamauria definitely lives up to her nickname "Jett" because of her speed, and she will be a great addition to our guard position. She's a high energy player who can knock down the three and comes from a winning program. She was exactly what we were looking for in the signing period."
As for Bridges, she said ETSU was the perfect fit for many reasons.
"I chose ETSU because the team made me feel like family on my visit and it had my major in forensic science," said Bridges. "ETSU felt like the perfect fit and hopefully I can help the Lady Bucs win championships."
While at Hollywood Christian, Bridges averaged 12.9 points, four assists, three steals, and three rebounds per game en route to being named Second Team All-Broward in 2011-12. Bridges – who was named Second Team All-State after leading the Eagles to a runner-up finish at the state championship as a junior – registered 14.0 points, eight rebounds, three assists, and three steals per game in the state tournament. Meanwhile, in 2010-11, Hollywood Christian finished fourth at the ESPN RISE National Championship and ranked 33rd in the ESPN Fab 50 rankings.
The 2012-13 Lady Bucs return to action on Friday, Nov. 30 when ETSU hosts Memphis at 7 p.m., inside the MSHA Athletic Center.

The restaurant-relief ordinance, initially proposed by District 2 City Councilman Kevin Faulconer last year, underwent a one-year trial in November 2011 to gauge the success of the program for restaurant owners and the community at large, including police officers who would otherwise need to be hired for law enforcement in heavy live entertainment areas around nightclubs and late-night bars.
"After a one-year trial period, the police department and restaurant owners agreed that 'Restaurant Relief' has been successful and recommended it become permanent," said Faulconer. "This ordinance will continue to save businesses money and let the police department focus on important public safety needs. I'm very proud the City Council approved my proposal to keep City Hall out of the kitchen and let restaurants serve and entertain their customers."
Entertainment permits to allow amplified music, even as simple as the occasional acoustic guitarist, can range from $1,500 to $4,000 per year without the relief program — a burdensome cost for some local restaurateurs trying to draw customers, said Faulconer.
Supporters agreed.
"In today's slow economy, restaurateurs continuously search for ways to reduce costs," said Mike Morton, Jr., president of the San Diego Chapter of the California Restaurant Association, which took part in the task-force group behind the program. "This new policy will greatly benefit restaurants that have struggled during this economic downturn and allow them to focus on what's important — job creation and opportunities for growth."
Restaurants exempt from entertainment permits include only those that are closed between 11 p.m. and 8 a.m., that do not charge admission or which promote customer dancing and do not require a drink minimum.

The Men's Cross Country Team came ready to race at the 2004 Big West Conference Championships held Saturday at UC Riverside. While on the surface the team's place of 3rd of nine teams may not measure up to past team's success, the Gauchos were very pleased with their results.
Cal Poly, ranked 6th in the country came in as the clear favorite and ran what may have been their worst race of the season. Nevertheless, the Mustangs cruised to victory taking the team title with 37 points, with 5 athletes in the top-10.
The battle for second place and to hold on to third was what the Gauchos were focused on. Two weeks ago the Gauchos were embarrassed at the Pre-NCAA meet, finishing 28th of 35 teams, with conference rival Utah State over 350 points ahead taking 14th. This week the Gauchos were in contention with Utah State all the way to the finish. Despite putting 7 athletes in front of Utah State's fifth athlete, The Aggies produced an impressive 1-2 finish which was too for the Gauchos to overcome and the men took 3rd by just six points.
However, the Gauchos were very pleased to secure third. Internet boards and cyberchatter had suggested that UC Irvine and the Titans were going to defeat the Gauchos at the Conference Championships due to the departure of some talented runners from last year's team. But the Gauchos replaced last year's talent with new talent. The sophomore tandem of Chris Ashley and Mike Chavez, who have led the team all year, produced their best races as Gauchos. After leading the race early, Ashley was in danger of falling back at about the half-way point. But as Chavez past him, the San Jose native rallied hard to run with his teammate and the pair of 19 year olds would run tough together to claim their first All Conference awards with Chavez in sixth, and Ashley in fourth.
"Chavez ran his best race as a Gaucho," said assistant coach Eric Gans. "I think he's a big day racer, and he was ready to perform today."
The Gauchos got much better showings from their supporting cast as well. Junior Alex Cardiasmenos took 18th, sophomore Stu Harwell was 21st, and JD Krawczyk and Ben Berkowitz were 24th and 25th respectively. The Gauchos 6th and 7th man displaced every school's top 5 with the exception of Cal Poly.
The men will now prepare for the NCAA Western Regional Championships. Unfortunately due to the Gauchos' Pre-NCAA performance, the team has almost no chance of moving on to the NCAA championships. But that won't stop UCSB from hoping to be in the mix of scoring. The men have been ranked as high as sixth in the Region and with their momentum from Conference they look to regain some respect by defeating some Pac-Ten programs and perhaps earning a few individual "All Western Region" honors. The race will be held at Woodward Park in Fresno, with the men's race set to start at noon following the women's race at 11AM.

STARKVILLE -- Tyler Russell is able to watch himself on film in the final two games of the 2012 season and smile at what he's learning.
However, it took some time for the Mississippi State University fifth-year senior quarterback to get in the proper mind-set to accurately evaluate what went so wrong in losses to the University of Mississippi and Northwestern University to culminate a disappointing finish.
"I finally looked at that in the summer because it motivated me to get better and know what my weaknesses are," Russell said. "Quite frankly, my main weakness is not understanding at times that I'm not a superhero and can't force things that aren't there."
Russell, who is entering his second and final season in Starkville as the projected starting quarterback, had nine of his 10 interceptions last season in a final six game stretch that included losses to eventual national champion University of Alabama, Louisiana State University and Texas A&M University. The losses from late October to New Year's Day began to pile up and ruin the program's excitement over a 7-0 start.
"Each individual player also takes that attitude to set every school offensive record this every single year," MSU coach Dan Mullen said. "That's one of the competitive drives that guys have and that's the type of program we want to have, the competitiveness to want to be the best they can be."
Whether it was appropriate or not, Russell told the media two months ago at Southeastern Conference media days that he apologized to his teammates for his lack of preparation. In a role reversal, the MSU quarterback has taken a leadership role as a co-captain to lead the MSU offense in a much more vocal way.
"We've had team meetings where he apologized to all of us but I almost wondered why he was doing it to be honest," MSU junior center Dillon Day said. "It happens to all of us so why should he be taking all the blame? We all believe in him and everyone looks up to him."
Russell decided in the summer to lead workouts with his receivers that would start at 7 a.m., and the purpose was to get youthful receivers used to playing at a high tempo in the spread-option offense. Russell has been constantly dealing with injuries to his wide receiver teammates in fall camp. Top tight end Malcolm Johnson continues to be held out of practices but is expected to play in the season opener against No. 13 Oklahoma State University in Reliant Stadium in Houston.
"We're all on the same page right now and that's actually surprising because of how young we are on offense," Russell said. "You have to follow the older guys that are always going hard in practice."
Russell currently stands as the school's all-time leader in passing efficiency (136.38) and is only one passing touchdown away from the tying the school record for passing touchdowns (38), held by Derrick Taite from 1993-96.
"All those numbers are great but I can't make the same mistakes I made last year," Russell said. "I felt I needed to prove to my older teammates that could play in the SEC. Now I'm the older guy that has to lead."
Despite completing the most productive season by a MSU quarterback, Russell knew he'd eventually have to cue up the final two games to improve in 2013.
"One thing Tyler does is be a hard worker studying the film, always looking at things," Mullen said. "There's just so much to learn. I mean all you've got to do is call one play against a weird defense, and a receiver falls down. At that point, you realize you don't know what to do in that situation. Not until you get to about 10,000 reps you've got it."
For a player who broke 11 single-season school records including completing 231 passes for 2,897 yards and 24 touchdowns, Russell knows he's facing a national championship spotlight to start the 2013 season. It's a game against Oklahoma State where Mullen told his boss, MSU Director of Athletics Scott Stricklin, to schedule the game in Houston because of his fifth-year senior quarterback.
"So it's just about constantly working at all the stuff, but he does it all the time," Mullen said. "The nice thing is he works on everything and enjoys it. You see the things he's got but to him it's always about trying to take one or two more steps forward every single day."

If you cannot speak the language, you cannot follow the conversation. Talk about adjuvants used in agriculture can be filled with unfamiliar terms like activator, non-ionic surfactant, penetrant, humectants, and buffers.
To help growers who want to follow a sales pitch or discussion on adjuvants, this article lists and describes common adjuvant categories by function.
There are two types of adjuvants: spray adjuvants and formulation adjuvants. Spray adjuvants are packaged separate from pesticides. Formulation adjuvants are mixed with the pesticide active ingredient during packaging and formulation. This article addresses spray adjuvants.
Spray adjuvants are pesticides according to California Department of Pesticide Regulation (CDPR) and must be registered. Spray adjuvants are defined by CDPR as "A product solid in a separate package and intended to be used with another pesticide to aid the application or enhance the activity of the pesticide." Growers must report spray adjuvant use in monthly pesticide use reports.
There are two general categories of spray adjuvants: activator adjuvants and utility adjuvants. Activator adjuvants directly enhance pesticide performance when the spray hits the plant target. These include wetter-spreaders, stickers, penetrants, and humectants.
Utility adjuvants help make the spray application process go better. This group includes defoamers, drift control agents, deposition aides, water conditioners, acidifiers, buffers, and colorants.
A single adjuvant product can be both an activator and a utility adjuvant. For example, a product that contains a spreader/penetrant plus a buffer/acidifier is both an activator and a utility adjuvant.
There are several categories based on product function within the general groups of activator and utility adjuvants. Many adjuvants fit into multiple categories, as a particular set of ingredients may provide spreading and penetrating properties to a single packaged product.
Wetter-spreaders: Contain surface-active ingredients - surfactants - that reduce the contact angle of the spray droplet on the target. This allows the spray solution to contact more of the target surface.
Spreading is essentially an extension of the wetting process. A spreader adjuvant allows the spray droplet to spread over a larger area of the target compared to a droplet with no spreader.
Most pesticides are mixed with water and sprayed. Wetter-spreaders behave differently in a spray tank based on their electrical charge in water. Surfactants, the active ingredients in wetter-spreader adjuvant, are further categorized as non-ionic, cationic, anionic, or amphoteric surfactants.
Why is this important to a grower?
When choosing an adjuvant to use with a water soluble ionic herbicide, you do not want an adjuvant "tying up" the pesticide and reducing pest control.
For example, when mixed in the spray tank, a cationic spreader may bind to an anionic herbicide, possibly reducing the pesticide activity. If you use an adjuvant, make sure it matches the pesticide label adjuvant recommendation.
Wetter-spreaders are surface active because they contain surfactant molecules that have a fat/wax loving (lipophilic) end and a water loving (hydrophilic) end. Common ingredients include fatty amines, glucosides, alkyphols, alkylamine ethoxylates, polyethylene oxides, and organosilicones.
Stickers: Contain non-evaporating ingredients that resist dislodging of the spray deposit from the target surface. Common sticker ingredients include synthetic latex, low volatile oils, pinene polymer, water-soluble polymers, and resins. The less water soluble the ingredients the lower the "wash off" potential of the pesticide deposit.
Humectants: Contain ingredients that help decrease spray droplet evaporation before the target is reached. Humectant materials include glycerin, various glycols, petroleum oils, vegetable oils, and urea.
Penetrators: Contain ingredients that help the chemical enter the target plant once the spray is deposited. Petroleum oils, vegetable oils, or modified vegetable oils are common penetrator ingredients.
Compatibility agents: Commonly used to keep a homogeneous solution in a spray tank that contains multiple ingredients, usually including liquid fertilizer.
Defoamers: Eliminate or suppress foam in the spray tank.
Drift control agent: Used to reduce the percentage of spray droplets below a certain diameter in an application. Small droplets are considered "driftable fines." The smaller the droplet then the further it will move with wind. Droplets with a diameter less than 150 micrometers are frequently characterized as "driftable." Drift control agents commonly include polyacrylamides and polysaccharides.
Deposition agent: Do not change spray droplet size, but improve the amount of pesticide deposited on the target - indirectly reducing drift - or improve the uniformity of spray deposits.
Water Conditioner: Eliminates or reduces the interaction of ions in the spray solution with the pesticide. For example, glyphosate efficacy can be reduced when hard water is used in the spray tank. A range of materials including chelating agents, citric acids, and fertilizer salts are used as water conditioners to improve glyphosate activity when the spray water source contains hard water.
Acidifier: Usually a dilute strong acid solution used to reduce spray water pH. An acidifier will commonly not maintain - that is, buffer - the spray solution at a certain desired pH range. The addition of an alkaline pesticide or fertilizer will increase the spray solution pH that was initially lowered by an acidifier.
Buffer: A product that will resist change in the spray solution pH. Buffers will limit the change in solution pH when an acid or base are added to the tank. A buffer/acidifier will reduce spray water pH and hold the pH in a certain range. How long the pH is held in a certain range when other pesticides or fertilizers are added differs between products. The correct rate of buffer depends on the water source and materials in the tank. Commonly used buffers are buffer/acidifiers using ingredients such as phosphates or organic acids.
Colorants: Alter the color of the spray solution so that previous spray passes are visible to the applicator.
This is the general "lineup" of adjuvant materials. Once you know the players and their roles in the spray tank, you can begin to select the right material for the job.
General adjuvant selection will be the topic of future articles.

In a previous post, I recommended that people who want to lose weight should eat eggs for breakfast rather than toast or cereal. Given the scare stories that were all over the media a while back, I can imagine the reaction in some reader's heads.
Aren't eggs high in cholesterol?
Won't they raise my cholesterol levels?
Won't they increase my risk of heart disease?
Well, the answers are yes, no, and no, respectively.
In 1968 the American Heart Association recommended that people with high cholesterol limit their intake of dietary cholesterol. The recommendation was later expanded to the general population. This advice seems to have been based on an unproven assumption that cholesterol in the food we eat goes straight into our blood. The best analogy I can think of is Meat is muscle tissue so it will go straight to your muscles. Eating a lot of meat will make you look like a body builder - no exercise or weight lifting necessary. Our internal food processing systems just aren't that simple.
Cholesterol gets a bad rap, but it is actually fundamental to our existence. Every cell in the human body requires cholesterol to form its protective waterproof membrane. Cholesterol is also needed for the production of vitamin D and the sex hormones oestrogen and testosterone. The brain has a higher concentration of cholesterol than any other organ. Studies have found links between low cholesterol levels and the incidence of strokes, brain haemorrhages, dementia and depression.
The vast majority of cholesterol in our bodies is manufactured internally. Cells can produce their own cholesterol or import it from the bloodstream. About 75% of cholesterol in the body is made by the liver. In normal, healthy people, the liver balances its cholesterol production. It can manufacture around 1000 mg a day. If it takes in extra cholesterol from food sources, it simply makes less.
Research into human eating habits has been unable to demonstrate a relationship between high cholesterol foods such as eggs and dairy products and a harmful increase in serum cholesterol levels. One US study examined the diets of 957 men and 1,082 women in the town of
. Their food intake over 24 hours was categorized
into a wide range of nutritional components including specific types of fats,
carbohydrates and protein as well as cholesterol. The participants were divided into three
groups according to their serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Tecumseh, Michigan
Analysis showed that the men and women with the highest serum cholesterol did not eat significantly more fat or cholesterol in their diets than the participants with the lowest serum cholesterol. In fact, the study did not reveal any dietary factors that could account for the difference.
Another study specifically set out to assess the nutritional significance of eggs in the American diet and to determine the degree of association between egg consumption and serum cholesterol. The researchers analyzed data from 27,378 participants in a national health and nutritional survey. They found that
Contrary to what might be expected, total serum cholesterol concentration was negatively related to frequency of egg consumption. Subjects who reported eating four or more eggs per week had a significantly lower mean serum cholesterol concentration than those who reported eating one or fewer eggs per week.The researchers also compared the nutritional intake of people who reported eating an egg within the last 24 hours with those who didn't. The egg eaters consumed a significantly greater level of every nutrient except fiber and vitamin B6. They conclude
Results of our study indicate that eggs make important nutritional contributions to the American diet, and frequent egg consumption does not associate adversely with serum cholesterol concentrations. Our work repudiates the hypothesis that increased egg consumption leads to increased serum cholesterol concentrations and also adds to the growing body of literature which supports the nutritional benefits of eggs.
Back in 1991, a news story was widely circulated about an 88-year-old man living in a retirement home who had consumed an average of 25 soft boiled eggs a day for over 15 years. He maintained normal levels of blood cholesterol. When asked to comment on the case, a clinical dietician said that the man's healthy cholesterol level was not surprising. "All of the studies we have done showed no effect of high egg consumption in a normal diet."
So go ahead and enjoy the nutritional benefits of an egg breakfast as often as you like. Serve omlettes, frittatas, soufflés and quiches for lunch and dinner too. Eggs really are good food cheap.

After watching episodes one and two on Sunday I took Monday off work to watch episodes three to twenty-two in one go, the pacing of this show is superb, easily one of the best I've seen in a long time. I'll be damned if Iinchou isn't the most feminine male character I've ever seen in this sort of show, I know it's not uncommon for male characters to have female voices but everything about him screams femininity, if you take a good look you'll see that he even has girl-style eyelashes.

This is so good... I watched episodes 5-10 tonight and my eyes are sore from the tears; I have not cried so much in perhaps a year. I was expecting a lot (based on the staff, and episode 1) and so far it has delivered even more. I'm just trying to pace myself so I don't forget who the characters were by the time the final episode is released
*chuu* to Naisho and ADTRW!
P.S. Also, it's interesting how Hotaru is unrecognizable as Shana or Louise. I have to keep reminding myself they're the same person...

Well I finally got around to checking out the first few episodes and I was so enchanted by them I wound up running through the entire 22 that are subbed.
Frankly I really wish the show was longer...4 more episodes just doesnt feel like enough. The cast of characters is so large, diverse, and mostly importantly interesting that I feel like they could easily squeeze out another 12 episode season at the least and it wouldnt lose any of the charm or pacing of what ive seen so far...
*goes off to hunt down the manga*

Wow, this has *actually* nearly been completely subbed. A hundred thanks to Studio ADTRW for not forgetting about it. IMO, Gakuen Alice was a real gem and one of the few anime series to make me laugh, but I would have expected it to be completely forgotten as I don't think it was popular in the first place.
I may have to start from the beginning, because I forgot what's happened.

Thank you Studio ADTRW...
Such a nice finish. Hooooottttttttaaaaaaaaaarrrrrruuuuuuuuuuuu hee hee, loved the way it finished as it started, not really a spoiler there, you'll have to guess what I mean or watch it
I remember how GA saved my life when I woke up really sick and hung over. I had dl'd 13 episodes of it the night before thinking that it is whole series and I was so gutted that it wasn't the end, but it gave me a reason to push past the hang over. What a wunniful journey it has been.
I've been hunting all over the interweb, but I can't find anywhere that lists all of Hotaru's inventions. Does anyone know of one? I am tempted to go through all the episodes and cut out all of those scenes
Hotaru is such a great character, I love the way she kicks everyone's arses in such a inexpressive way, she is just too cool.
Spoiler for for Hotaru's' thoughts in epi 26:

It was a nice ending, although some things weren't wrapped up as I would have liked to, and kinda expected considering the number of episodes left to do it in.
I might have to rewatch the show to get a better feel for the whole thing, because of the huge gaps in subbing. But it's finally done!

For something that makes a joke every five seconds this thing is surprisingly dark and gloomy. I don't understand who the audience is supposed to be - despite a "kid's show" appearance the story is really deep and dark, its definitely not for children.
Big thanks to ADTRW and Naisho for subbing it.

I started downloading this show for my little sister (who is eleven years old), but what do you know, I enjoyed it, myself!
I really can't find much to complain about it. Being a kid's show gives it a little extra leeway in terms of "suspension of disbelief", but it never took things too far.
I actually hated to see it end so early in the story! I do think that if it had kept up as it was, it would have gotten old soon after, but to manage 26 episodes without me wanting to strangle Mikan for whining means that some real talent went into this.
I love seeing that, while it's told from a child's perspective, the world they live in isn't childish (a tad whimsical, but who cares?). The story would have been believable and compelling even if it had been told from an adult's perspective.
Kudos to the production team and the subbers. I think this show is underappreciated.

DOVER — They don't see eye to eye on every issue, but former Republican Gov. Stephen Merrill and former high court Judge Joseph P. Nadeau have found common cause on one question facing New Hampshire voters.
Merrill and Nadeau, who served on the New Hampshire Supreme Court, are urging voters to reject ballot Question 2, a constitutional amendment dealing with administration of state courts.
The pair say the amendment hasn't garnered a lot of attention, but it threatens to tip the balance of power between the Legislature and the judiciary in New Hampshire.
The so-called "state court amendment" was sponsored by nine Republicans lawmakers, including Grafton County Rep. Paul Mirski and Kingston Rep. Kenneth Wyler.
Proponents of Question 2 say it will restore legislative oversight of the courts, a role reduced by another constitutional amendment in 1978.
As a result, the New Hampshire constitution currently gives the chief justice of the Supreme Court the power to make rules governing the administration of all courts in the state.
Question 2 would amend the state's constitution to give the Legislature the same power. And, in the event of a conflict, the Legislature would trump the courts.
At least two-thirds of New Hampshire voters must approve the amendment for it to pass in the Nov. 6 election.
Nadeau and Merrill contend the amendment is not only unnecessary, but also contrary to the basic principle of separation of powers.
If Question 2 passes, Nadeau said he believes the Legislature will replace the state's existing judicial conduct committee with an oversight committee comprised of lawmakers.
Such a group could conceivably call judges before the Legislature to make them account for their rulings, he said.
Some lawmakers backing Question 2 have been vocal critics of the state's family court judges, and Merrill said he fears judges will face new political pressures if the bill passes.
New Hampshire would also become the only state in the country in which the Legislature would have ultimate authority over court administration, Nadeau said.
He called Question 2 a "major unprecedented intrusion" into the administration of the judiciary.
"This is not Democrat or Republican," he said. "It's not liberal or conservative. It's a protection of the integrity of the system for the people."
Nadeau served 37 years in the judiciary, with stints serving as a judge in the Durham District Court and in superior court. Gov. Jeanne Shaheen nominated Nadeau to be the 100th justice of the New Hampshire Supreme Court in 2000.
Merrill, a practicing attorney, served two terms as the state's governor, from 1993 to 1997. He was born and raised in Hampton, and received his law degree from Georgetown University Law Center.
He served in the U.S. Air Force as a lawyer, and as legal counsel to the Secretary of the Air Force. He was also a special assistant to the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force. He was legal counsel and chief of staff for Gov. John Sununu before being elected to office.
As Nadeau and Merrill spread the word about their opposition to Question 2, Mirski, a sponsor of the bill, has responded to some of their arguments in the press. Mirski points out that CACR26, the constitutional amendment driving Question 2, has already received the blessing of the Supreme Court.
"It is a simple and undeniable fact that a 'free government' cannot exist without constant and effective public oversight and control of all branches of government -- including the judiciary," Mirski wrote recently. "It is public oversight that court sycophants wish to stifle and it is public oversight of court rule making that must be restored."
Nadeau said he can't assess the Supreme Court's motivation for accepting CACR26, but he believes justices have a desire not to strain relations with the Legislature.
"They have budget issues to think about," he said. "They have relationships with legislative leaders to think about, but in my judgment, they made a mistake, and I haven't talked with a single judge who thinks they didn't make a mistake."
Nadeau also pointed out that the judiciary is already subject to an appeals process, and the Supreme Court has shown no hesitation taking up appeals. The Legislature also has the power to impeach judges for misconduct, he said.
In an election year with a slate of hotly contested races, Nadeau said he worries voters might not have sufficient information about Question 2 to make the best decision on Nov. 6.
"I think it's an easy issue to misunderstand, and people have a lot to pay attention to with this election, including their own lives," he said.
Merrill added that courts should not be immune from criticism, but voters should weigh their options carefully before changing the state constitution.
"New Hampshire citizens, we believe, are going to say, 'We're going to change 200 years of the New Hampshire constitution over this? I don't think so,'" Merrill said.

Trade Agreements and Tariffs Under the Microscope
- The Obama Administration plans to give Congress reason to approve Trade Promotion Authority by negotiating a Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement they can't pass up.
According to U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman, the votes are there as long as the administration brings back a good agreement. He says the focus is to do just that including for agriculture.
Froman reports spending time on Capitol Hill with both parties to lay the foundation for broad bipartisan support of TPA legislation. He says Congress has recognized the infeasibility of designating more than 500 people, their full membership, as trade negotiators.
- The European Union (EU) has publicly announced its unwillingness to eliminate tariffs on beef, poultry and pork when exchanging tariff offers with the U.S. in the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership talks.
The EU Trade Minister also stated the EU will not change its legislation regarding beef hormones and the feed additive ractopamine.
According to the National Pork Producers Council the EU is the second largest market in the world for pork consumption and represents a tremendous market opportunity for U.S. pork exports.

Difference between revisions of "Chiang Dao"
Revision as of 06:32, 14 November 2012
Chiang Dao (เชียงดาว) is a town in Chiang Mai Province, Northern Thailand.
Chiang Dao lies above the Menam Ping gorge on the green slopes of Doi Chiang Dao mountain. The name means "City of Stars", and derives from its earlier name Piang Dao, or "(at the) level of the stars". True to the name, limestone peaks reaching a height of 2186 m (7174 ft) make Chiang Dao an impressive area. The village is a quiet little picturesque area, with a quaint Northern Thailand feel.
Get in
Chiang Dao is 72 km north of Chiang Mai on Highway 107 to Fang and Tha Ton.
By plane
The nearest major airport is in Chiang Mai. A metered, air conditioned taxi will cost about 1000 - 1200 Baht one-way (~$35US).
By bus
The easiest and cheapest way to get in and out of Chiang Dao, is to stay next to, or near Highway 107. Anywhere along side the highway, one can wave down a bus or Songtheaw to either go towards Chiang Mai (40 Baht), or Fang (40 Baht). Buses run quite often (between 6am - 6pm every half hour)
There are buses six times daily from Chiang Mai to Tha Ton, which stop at Chiang Dao along the way. 90 minutes, 40 baht.
You can ask the driver to stop anywhere along the side of the road, which is ofter better than getting off at the Chiang Dao bus stop, where Sontheaw drivers charge 100 Baht or more to take you one-way to a resort.
Get around
Most guesthouses can arrange motorcycles for rent for around 200-300 baht/day. This is is one of the cheapest options as there are very few taxis in the town and they employ a price fixing strategy, be prepared to pay 150 baht per ride from one of these regardless of how much you barter.
Taxis usually stay in town close to the 7-11, better to negotiate with taxi drivers directly, instead of asking the guest houses as they mark their prices sometime quite dramatically.
Places, such as Mon and Kurt's Restaurant and Guesthouse, also rent reliable Bicycles and Mountain Bikes(100 Baht per day/24 hours).
TIP: If you are just traveling on the main Highway 107, the Songtheaws that just travel on the main highway, are only 10 Baht within the Chiang Dao Area and all the way to the MuangNgai turnoff, North of town.
The town of Chiang Dao is adjacent to Chiang Dao National Park [3], which covers over 1000 sq.km. of the stunning craggy mountains in the area. Being fairly high up, it's noticeably cooler and drier than on the plains and can get downright cold in the winter. The local flora are semitropical, with extensive bamboo forests and a number of mountain streams and waterfalls. The area is popular for trekking, as in addition to the mountain views there are many Lisu and Karen hill tribe villages scattered in the park.
Trekking operators
Doi Luang Chiang Dao () is a limestone mountain in the Chiang Dao Wildlife Reserve area, Amphoe Chiang Dao. This cone-shaped mountain is 2,195 metres from sea level, which makes it the third highest mountain in Thailand after Doi Inthanon and Doi Pha Hom Pok. Narrow plains on top of the mountain overlook spectacular views that include a sea of fog on the Amphoe Chiang Dao side, Doi Sam Phi Nong, the Chiang Dao mountain range, and the far end of Doi Inthanon. The peak is cool and windy. It is full of rare highland flowers, birds, and butterflies. Visiting Doi Chiang Dao needs an approval letter from the Director of Wildlife Reserve Division, Royal Forest Department. It must arranged at least 2 weeks before travelling. Call 0 2561 2947 for more information.
Getting there: The peak is accessible on foot. At Chiang Dao cave, guides, porters, and chartered transfers to the starting point of the trail are available. Rented local truck costs around 900 baht and, a porter is 300 baht per person. There are no tourist facilities on Chiang Dao Mountain. Visitors must bring their own sleeping bags, food, and water. If you are a very fit trekker you might be able to climb up and down in one day if you start very early and the locals confirm that. There is a small village with the lodging near the start of the northern trail, easily accessible on the motorbike via paved road.
Descending the mountain is possible on the trail near Ban Tham, which is located near Chiang Dao cave. The trail is rather steep; nevertheless, it could shorten the walking distance upon descending. It is quite difficult to climb up.
Every Tuesday morning the town has a big market with many hilltribe people coming down to trade.
Mon and Kurt's offers a good selection of wine and imported beers, along with "Shooters" and "Highballs". They use quality alcohol. (Jose Quervo Especial Tequila, Jack Daniel's, Jaegermeister, Russian Vodka, etc.) They are conveniently located downtown, have a Happy Hour, between Noon-2pm and 5-7pm (Big bottles of Beer Chang, Chang Export and Leo for only 50 Baht) and serve alcohol until 9:30pm (close at 10pm). Chiang Dao Nest also has a great selection of Spirits and a nice quiet atmosphere, but there are also a few Thai Karaoke Bars in and around Chiang Dao, for those who are a little more adventerous.
Chiang Dao now offers quite a few guesthouses and resorts, some located right near the Chiang Dao - Fang Highway, others near the bypass or near the cave and mountain temple. There's no luxury accommodation though, since the Baan Krating resort closed in 2007.
Get out
orange Buses (every hour, 40 Baht)and orange Songtheaws (every 30 minutes, 40 Baht),pass through Chiang Dao, on Highway 107. You can wave them down anywhere and they will stop for you, if not full already.
Regular 52 Seat Sleeper bus leaves as follows, in Front of Mon and Kurt's Restaurant (Reserve tickets across the street, at local mini-mart):

Challah Covers
There are numerous Judaica items that can be given as gifts. Some of the most popular gifts for milestones such as Bar Mitzvahs as Jewish Weddings are Kiddush Cups and Candlesticks amongst many others. One other gift that is an essential for the Jewish home is the Challah Cover.
Looking for a gift for a newly married couple or a practical gift idea for a housewarming? Consider a Challah cover, one of the most noticeable Judaica items used on Shabbat and Holidays. Challah covers are used on Shabbat and Jewish Holidays such as Rosh Hashanah and Sukkot to cover the Challah bread during Kiddush and until it is cut after washing hands.
If you would like a gift for a newly engaged couple, consider one of Yair Emanuel's find silk Challah covers that feature images of pomegranates, Jerusalem and Shabbat items. Or pick a luxurious black velvet Challah Cover that is embroidered with silver thread and features floral patterns together images of Jerusalem and Hebrew text. You can even choose to have silver plates embroidered into the cover's design.
Challah Covers are traditional Judaica items that are frequently given as gifts on all special occasions and holidays. They are especially appreciated by those who are Judaica collectors, especially when made in Israel and feature traditional Judaica motifs and designs. Browse our massive collection of Challah Covers made in Israel by famous artists such as Yair Emanuel. Challah Covers are also excellent gifts for those who have just established their own home, which is a notable milestone in Judaism.
We at World of Judaica invite you to peruse our gallery of high quality Challah Covers that are made from Velvet, Silk and Lace and feature both modern and traditional designs. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact customer service and we will be happy to address your concerns.
Challah Covers Guide
Challah covers are an ancient tradition both in Judaism and Judaica art. Originating from religious tradition in Talmudic times, challah covers serve two purposes. One is the obvious role of covering the challah on your Shabbat dinner table. As a piece of Judaica art, its second job is to decorate your dinner table adding a greater meaning and aesthetic pleasure to your weekend.
What are Challah Covers?
As described above, challah covers are pieces of cloth often elaborately decorated to cover the challah on Shabbat. There are several reasons for covering the challah and they all date back to Jewish cultural traditions of the ancient times.
One symbol resembled by the challah cover is the gift of manna given to the Jews during the Exodus from Egypt to Israel. On Shabbat, the braided bread challah is placed on the table on top of a cutting board and underneath a challah cover to simulate the two layers of dew that would fall both above and beneath the Jew's manna keeping it fresh.
Another reason for the covering of challah is the other Jewish tradition of Kiddush. According to the religious practices of the sages, the meal's bread needs to be blessed before everything else. However, Kiddush, or the blessing of the wine, must be performed to sanctify Shabbat making this of high priority. The solution has been to cover the challah and perform Kiddush while the challah remains out of sight. Only after the Kiddush is the challah uncovered and blessed.
Challah covers come in a wide variety of forms and materials to help Judaica customers find the piece that they most want to have on their Shabbat dinner table. Different Judaica artists also create challah covers with separate materials and often create lines or collections of challah covers of a certain material. This arrayed mixture of material includes fine silk, embroidery, cotton, and just about every kind of cloth imaginable. When lacking a proper challah cover, almost anything can be used in its place including paper.
As an item that comes from and derives all inspiration from ancient Jewish culture, the designs typically used on a challah cover are generally of the same theme though many artists are specially recognized for modernizing their pieces.
Traditional designs for challah covers include almost every symbol of Jewish significance. Pomegranates, Stars of David, and views of abstractly colored Jerusalem are among the most popular images and symbols used. Each artist and creator may have a different style and set of taste when it comes to challah covers, but they are all sure to get the job done, and with such an amazing selection available, you are certain to find the piece that's just right for you.

The home portion of the regular-season schedule came to a disappointing end for the North Central College football team on Saturday, as the Cardinals suffered a 35-21 loss to College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW) rival Wheaton College on Senior Day at Benedetti-Werhli Stadium.
The loss was the first in conference play for the seventh-ranked Cardinals (7-2, 5-1 CCIW) since a 28-22 overtime setback at Illinois Wesleyan University on Oct. 31, 2009, snapping a 21-game winning streak in CCIW play. The 24th-ranked Thunder posted their first win over North Central since 2007 and regained possession of the Little Brass Bell, the traveling trophy between the two teams, after four straight defeats.
"Wheaton played great football," said North Central head coach John Thorne. "They deserved to win. They ran faster, they hit harder, and they executed better. Their coaches did a great job getting them ready and their players really played a great game."
North Central and Wheaton are now both part of a three-way tie for first place in the CCIW standings with Elmhurst College. The Cardinals can receive the CCIW's automatic bid to the NCAA Division III Football Championship with a win next Saturday at Augustana College and a win by Elmhurst over Illinois Wesleyan.
"We've got to put some stuff back together and see if we're good enough to beat Augustana now," Thorne said. "These seniors have been a great group to have here, and they have been working very hard to win this championship. We cannot let all that hard work go to waste."
Wheaton (7-2, 5-1) opened the scoring with one of several extended offensive drives in the first period, driving 87 yards in 17 plays and eating up more than eight minutes of game clock before quarterback Jordan Roberts rolled to his right and found fullback Stephen Seitz for a two-yard touchdown pass with 4:10 on the clock. The Thunder were in position to score again before Cardinal linebacker Joey Michals intercepted a pass deep in North Central territory and returned it 60 yards to the Wheaton 38-yard line.
North Central signal-caller Spencer Stanek called his own number on a 33-yard option run to set the Cardinals up at the Wheaton three-yard line, and Nick Kukuctook an option pitch from Jordan Tassio from a yard out on third down to tie the score at 7-7 with 11:25 left in the second quarter.
Wheaton pulled ahead once again midway through the second period on a one-play drive. After taking possession on his own 39 following a Cardinal punt, Roberts connected with wideout Morgan Cook for a 61-yard TD pass which wound up sending the Thunder into halftime with a 14-7 advantage.
The visitors took control of the game in the third period with a pair of lengthy scoring drives. The Thunder took the first possession of the second half 70 yards in 10 plays and scored on Roberts' six-yard run. A North Central fumble, one of four lost Cardinal fumbles during the afternoon, was recovered by Wheaton's Brett Anderson and Thunder's two-yard line. Wheaton then embarked on a 17-play, 98-yard trek which ended in Roberts running in for another score, this time from five yards out.
North Central threatened to return to contention early in the fourth quarter, as Stanek completed a 47-yard TD pass to Halaiano Fuentes and the Cardinals took over following a missed Wheaton field goal on the ensuing drive. The hosts drove into Wheaton territory once again, but Stanek was sacked and fumbled at the Thunder 28. Wheaton linebacker Pat Dansdill scooped up the ball and rambled 72 yards for a score to boost the guests' lead to 35-14 with 4:55 to play.
The Cardinals' final drive of the day began on their own two-yard line, but Stanek was able to bring the North Central offense down the field for one final score, completing five of seven passes for 62 yards and finding Jeff Stolzenburg for a 10-yard TD pass with 2:05 left.
Stanek finished the day 24 of 37 passing for 334 yards and also rushed for 48 yards on 10 carries. Nick Kukuc posted a team-high 49 rushing yards on nine attempts while Ryne Rezac grabbed a career-high seven passes for 71 yards andChad O'Kane caught six passes for 80 yards. Michals tallied a season-high 14 tackles for the Cardinals' defense, while Shane Dierking made 11 stops andQuinn Haas tallied eight tackles and an interception.
Wheaton outgained the Cardinals, 480-442, posting the highest yardage total by a North Central opponent this season. Roberts completed 32 of 46 passes for 380 yards and ran for 46 yards on 13 carries. Mark Hiben caught a game-high 12 passes for 127 yards and Cook hauled in 11 passes for 181 yards. Dansdill made 14 tackles for the Thunder.
The Cardinals close the regular season at Augustana on Saturday. Kickoff at Ericson Field is scheduled for 1 p.m.

Security Researcher Shows That -- Despite Carrier IQ's Claims To The Contrary -- CarrierIQ Records Keystrokes
from the now-that's-kind-of-scary dept
Yeah. So. Don't piss off a security researcher. Eckhart is back with a video showing how CarrierIQ's software does track keystrokes and sends them to a central server. He demonstrates it recording and sending data, even though Eckhart is logging into something using HTTPS. Of course, when the software is local and tracking keystrokes, HTTPS is meaningless.
By the way, it cannot be turned off without rooting the phone and replacing the operating system. And even if you stop paying for wireless service from your carrier and decide to just use Wi-Fi, your device still reports to Carrier IQ.I would imagine that lawyers are furiously drawing up a pretty massive class action lawsuit as we speak (if it hasn't already been filed).
It's not even clear what privacy policy covers this. Is it Carrier IQ's, your carrier's or your phone manufacturer's? And, perhaps, most important, is sending your communications to Carrier IQ a violation of the federal government's ban on wiretapping?
And even more obvious, Eckhart wonders why aren't mobile-phone customers informed of this rootkit and given a way to opt out?

Jason Nammour, 26, stood patiently in line Thursday morning hoping to fill several red five-gallon containers with gas before the pumps shut down at a Gulf station at the corner of Route 46 and 7th Street in Clifton, N.J.
Continue Reading Below
Nammour, a UPS driver from Patterson, was quickly running out of time as the Gulf station was quickly running out of gas.
Sam Sadek, the station's dealer, said just before lunchtime that he probably had enough gas to last another two hours. After that...
Stretching before and behind Nammour were hundreds of others just like him: New Jersey residents stricken by Hurricane Sandy, their homes left powerless for days now, cars running out of gas and desperate for fuel to get to work – fuel to power the generators that are providing a skeletal existence as the region recovers from one of the worst storms in history.
A.J. Fusco, 22, a pizza delivery man from West Orange, had been waiting in line in his car for nearly an hour. He said his boss told him to wait "as long as it takes."
Fusco was one of scores of anxious drivers slowing inching forward toward Sadek's pumps in their cars, minivans, SUVs, work vans and pickup trucks. The line extended at least half a mile along the eastbound lanes of busy Route 46. Everybody – those on foot like Nammour and those in their cars like Fusco – had the same concern: that the pumps would run out before they reached them.
The scene in Clifton was playing out at gas stations across New Jersey where the devastating superstorm has caused fuel shortages prompting scenes reminiscent of the 1970s, when a Mideast fuel embargo also led to long lines and short tempers. There were reports of violence at gas stations Wednesday night as drivers flocked to the pumps as word spread around the region that gas was running low.
On Thursday morning at the Brookdale service stations on both sides of the Garden State Parkway in Bloomfield, the lines for gas stretched for at least a mile in both directions -- north and south -- leading up to the pumps.
The scene in Clifton was mostly peaceful, although a fight had apparently broken out earlier in the morning when a BMW tried to cut the line, according to witnesses who watched the fracas. Most of those waiting seemed resigned to the inconveniences wrought by a storm that has knocked out power for millions and destroyed whose sections of the coastline from Cape May to Connecticut.
It was Nammour's second tour at the station Thursday morning. He'd waited for two hours at daybreak to fill his car. Now he was back on foot, shuffling slowly forward with his containers to keep his neighbor's generator powered. He said he'd been standing in line for about 45 minutes, and from the looks of it he had at least another hour to go.
At this station and others like it across New Jersey, there were two lines: one for cars and another for those on foot. "They wouldn't let me fill my containers when I filled up my car," Nammour explained.
Fusco said he'd been out driving around Northern New Jersey since 7:30 a.m. looking for a station that was still pumping gas. Out of power since Monday, he said he needed the gas for his job and to keep the hot water flowing in his West Orange home.
The Gulf station on Route 46 about 10 miles due west of New York City appeared to be one of the few stations still pumping gas in Northern New Jersey.
Sadek said his pumps were shut down for two days after the hurricane knocked out power in much of Clifton on Tuesday. But he was able to start pumping again Wednesday night when his power returned about 7:30 p.m., just as nearly every other station in the region was running out. What's more, a Gulf fuel truck came by the station Wednesday night and was able to replenish some of his supply, he said.
Shortages as a gas terminal in Linden which supplies many of the gas stations in Northern New Jersey led to the shortages, Sadek explained. That, and the fact that many gas stations couldn't pump because they had lost their power.
Around midmorning on Thursday Sadek looked at the long lines of people on foot and the even longer lines waiting in cars and said the gas would probably hold out for another couple of hours. Then he'd be dry.
Asked what he was going to do when the gas ran out, Sadek shrugged his shoulders. Just then a Clifton police officer arrived to ask Sadek the same question. How was the crowd behaving so far, the officer was asked. "No bloodshed yet, so that's good," he deadpanned.
But the pumps were still flowing then.

SLAM! Wrestling's Blaine van der Griend goes through The Undertaker's undefeated streak at WrestleMania, one match at a time.
Match #8
The event: WrestleMania 15
Where: The First Union Center, Philadelphia
The result: Win over Big Bossman; WrestleMania record, 8-0
A more evil side of The Undertaker was exposed in 1999, so it's quite appropriate that his WrestleMania 15 match with The Big Bossman took place in Hell in a Cell.
"The Undertaker's a leader in the locker room," said former WWE Champion Edge. "Our first interaction was probably something to do with the Ministry. But I remember Christian and I wrestling Taker and Rock for the tag titles. That was the first time I realized that, 'Hey, I'm in the ring with The Undertaker.' He had such big fists. I was amazed at how quickly he could move. Every time he gets knocked down, he would pop right up again. Eventually, he was willing to let me be one of the leaders and sort of spread the responsibility."
Being a former prison guard, it must have been unfamiliar for Bossman to be on the inside of a cell. Regardless, when he got in the ring, he was all business.
Ray Traylor spent his early years in the business as Jim Cornette's bodyguard in the NWA. He was then known as Big Bubba Rogers. When he entered the WWE in the late '80s, he was almost instantly placed in a tag team with Akeem (formerly the One Man Gang) and the duo known as The Twin Towers, was managed by "The Doctor of Style" Slick.
Bossman was the standout of the team, and began feuding with the WWE's top star Hulk Hogan. After turning down a large sum of money, offered by Ted "The Million Dollar Man" DiBiase, Bossman turned babyface and defeated his former tag team partner Akeem at WrestleMania 6 in less than two minutes, before branching out into a short-lived feud with DiBiase.
He then started feuding with members of the Heenan family, after months of insults by Bobby Heenan, directed at the Bossman's mother.
It wasn't long after this before Bossman returned to WCW, struggling with several gimmicks, before finally ending up with his original Big Bubba character. He was a member of the New World Order at one point, but in his last few months with the company, he decided to compete under his shoot name, Ray Traylor.
Traylor eventually returned to the WWE as part of Mr. McMahon's Corporation. In fact, he was McMahon's head of security. And the feud between the Corporation and the Ministry was reaching its boiling point, so Mr. McMahon attempted to end it all by matching Bossman up against The Undertaker.
It wasn't the most memorable Hell in a Cell match, but it had people talking one way or another. It was actually the first Hell in a Cell match at WrestleMania, and until recently, the only one.
"It was weird," Edge said. "We came down from the ceiling and it felt very surreal."
The Brood then lowered a noose from the top of the structure, which Taker then used to hang Bossman from the cell, which was an incredible sight.
"I remember being thankful that we were involved in it, because we weren't in a match," Edge said. "They trusted us enough to be involved. He (Undertaker) was very supportive in that respect. He'll let you know if you're doing something wrong and he'll let you know if you're doing something right. For me, that was when I thought to myself, 'Okay, we must be doing something right here,'"
Though the Bossman has passed away, his memories will live on. And perhaps one of the biggest memories is being in a WrestleMania match with The Undertaker.

Get in[edit]
Borås have no own airport, nearest international airport is in Gothenburg about 60 km away which has daily flight from most european air hubs.
Commuter trains from Gothenburg runs about once every hour, however due to old tracks they are slower then the bus. The Kust-till-Kust (Coast-to-Coast) trains between Gothenburg and Kalmar also makes a stop-over there. Then there are regional trains from Varberg and from Uddevalla via Herrljunga. From time to time there have been direct X2000 fast trains from Stockholm, but as of now a change of trains in Herrljunga is required.
Bus #100 connects is an express highway bus from Gothenburg with departures every half hour. Several long-distance buses also makes stop-overs here.

text: John Foster Dulles (1888-1959) was a powerful U.S. secretary of state under President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Born into a family of statesmen, Dulles became an international lawyer for a Wall Street firm and attended the Paris Peace Conference of 1919 as part of the Reparations Commission and Economic Council. He negotiated the Japanese peace treaty in the early 1950s as a consultant to President Harry S. Truman, but later became a vocal critic of the administration's foreign policy. Named secretary of state in 1953, Dulles was known for a strong stance against communism and his management of the crises of Suez, Indochina and Lebanon.

UPDATE: The Release Candidate 1 was launched last friday. Here's my reaction after I installed it to both my desktop and laptop computers.
According to this post, OpenMandriva Lx will be seeing the light of day pretty soon: on November 22!
The final product will be preceded by two release candidates:
- Friday 8 November: Release Candidate 1
- Friday 15 November: Release Candidate 2
I wonder, what launcher finally won the OpenMandriva Lx launcher battle royal? Funny but, although I first detested it, I now wish that SimpleWelcome made it...
