ECON 0701 - Senior Research Workshop I
Senior Research Workshop I
In this first semester, students will design and begin their projects. Emphasis will be on designing a novel research question (while making the case for its importance) and an appropriate strategy for answering it. This requires immersion in the academic literature on the topic. General research principles and tools will be taught in class, as a group, while those specific to individual projects will be covered in one-on-one meetings. By the end of the term, students will outline their plan for completing the project, including demonstrating that it is a feasible research question for which the necessary information (e.g., data or source materials) is available or can be generated by the student (e.g., lab or other experiment). (Approval required)

ECON 0702 - Senior Research Workshop II
Senior Research Workshop II
In this second semester of the senior research workshop sequence, the focus is on the execution of the research plan developed in ECON 0701. Most instruction is now one-on-one but the workshop will still meet as a group to discuss and practice the presentation of results in various formats (seminars, poster sessions, et cetera) to the rest of the workshop and others in the college and broader communities. Feedback and critiques from such presentations will be incorporated into the project, which will culminate in a research paper in the style of an economics journal article.

Lemmaires History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Anglo-Saxon tribes in Britain. It was a name for someone who worked as a person who held the office of mayor. The surname was originally derived from the Old English word maire, which referred to the officer who was in charge of executing summonses and other legal matters. Therefore, the original bearer of the surname Lemmaires held the office of Mayor. [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Lowe, Mark Anthony, Patronymica Britannica, A Dictionary of Family Names of the United Kingdom. London: John Russel Smith, 1860. Print.
Early Origins of the Lemmaires family
Cheshire at Mere, a township, in the parish of Rosthern, union of Altrincham, hundred of Bucklow. The place name dates back to the Domesday Book of 1086 where it was first listed as Mera. [2]CITATION[CLOSE]
Williams, Dr Ann. And G.H. Martin, Eds., Domesday Book A Complete Translation. London: Penguin, 1992. Print. (ISBN 0-141-00523-8) Literally, the place name means "(place at) the pool or lake," from the Old English word "mere." [3]CITATION[CLOSE]
Mills, A.D., Dictionary of English Place-Names. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1991. Print. (ISBN 0-19-869156-4) Alternatively, the surname could have originated at Mere in Wiltshire, a market-town and parish, and the head of a union, in the hundred of Mere. This parish was listed in the Domesday Book, but with the current spelling of Mere. [2]CITATION[CLOSE]
Williams, Dr Ann. And G.H. Martin, Eds., Domesday Book A Complete Translation. London: Penguin, 1992. Print. (ISBN 0-141-00523-8) In this case, "the name of this place is derived from the Saxon word Mæra, signifying bounds or limits, and indicates its situation on the borders of the counties of Wilts, Somerset, and Dorset. In 1253, permission was given by Henry III. to Richard, Earl of Cornwall, to build and fortify a castle on his manor of Mere, and the manor has ever since been attached to the duchy of Cornwall. " [4]CITATION[CLOSE]
Lewis, Samuel, A Topographical Dictionary of England. Institute of Historical Research, 1848, Print.
The family was listed in the Roll of Battle Abbey as companions to William the Conqueror. "The descendants of this Norman knight occupied a prominent position in Staffordshire, in the time of the early Plantagenets. William de Mere occurs as High Sheriff of that county, temp. Edward II., and in the next reign, Peter de la Mere filled the Speaker's chair in the House of Commons. At an early period, the family possessed the manor of Maer, co. Stafford, and are also found resident at Norton, in the Moors. " [5]CITATION[CLOSE]

Migration of the Lemmaires family to the New World and Oceana
To escape oppression and starvation at that time, many English families left for the "open frontiers" of the New World with all its perceived opportunities. In droves people migrated to the many British colonies, those in North America in particular, paying high rates for passages in cramped, unsafe ships. Although many of the settlers did not make the long passage alive, those who did see the shores of North America perceived great opportunities before them. Many of the families that came from England went on to make essential contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Research into various historical records revealed some of first members of the Lemmaires family emigrate to North America: Manuel Myers, who settled in New York in 1741; John, Henry, Jacob, James, Michael, Lewis, and Mary Myers, who all settled in Philadelphia between 1820 and 1858. Christina Myers settled in Baltimore at the age of 19 in 1846.

Hi Everyone,
Happy Wonderful Wednesday. Today at the store I am going to be demonstrating how to use the Shabby White Embossing Enamel by Stampendous. New best product today. Love it.
This is a simple tag using a stamp from Technique Tuesday called Carefree Cosmo.I like using Versa Fine ink to stamp detail images.
After stamping my image I put small amounts of the Embossing Enamel on top of the tag, anywhere. I was trying not to cover up the words. With this Embossing Enamel you heat it from underneath your tag. Click here to see the video on how to do this.
You can also emboss on your ribbon but instead of using an ink, you use a glue pen and sprinkle the embossing powder on top and heat. Just make sure you are not to close to your ribbon with the heat gun.

Sometimes my "pulpit jokes" fall flat. People didn't really seem to get my "Zen attitude toward the money problems in this country--My retirement account started off with $50K, Zen it had $40K, Zen it had $30K, Zen. . ." Of course, figuring out how to talk about giving is tough in any circumstances--people think you've left off preaching and gone to meddling!!!
My scripture for this sermon was 2 Cor 8: 1-15. Paul was speaking to them of the importance of giving and was not apologizing for it. He was asking for excellence in their response to Christ.
In these tough economic times, it is tempting to be discouraged and to think we must hoard what we have for our own needs and moan about government spending etc. . .
Ran across another good scripture 1 Timothy 2: 1-4
I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone--for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all of us to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
On July 4, 2012, we celebrated 236 years as The United States of America. A government by the people and for the people. This is an election year folks--another excellent reason to pray for those in authority!
Considering that Paul was up against Nero and his nefarious doings, it was great he could say pray for our rulers and authorities. (Remember what Nero did to Christians while Rome was burning?) Paul didn't give us exact instructions what to pray, but his list was broad enough to pray for any situation. Praying for the salvation for the rulers of the government that was oppressing them would help to restore peace to their first century lives.
Even in nations where Christians are not facing persecution today, everyone needs to pray for their leaders. Every day decisions are made that shape our lives for good or ill.
And as those lucky enough to wake up in America, in Tennessee, in Lenoir City, in clean and dry beds--let us say prayers of thanks for those great gifts we have been given. For those even luckier--to be raised or having been raised in a Christian home. We have much to be thankful for. For it has been written "To whom much has been given, much will be required."
Paul said our gifts will be measured by what has been given on our behalf. I've gotta work on that, how about you? Blessings! Kim

European Stocks Advance as Earnings Outweigh Greek Debt Crisis
European stocks rebounded from a six-week low as better-than-estimated earnings reports overshadowed concern that Greece's credit crisis will spread through the euro region.
Banco Santander SA (SAN) rallied 4 percent after the biggest Spanish bank posted profit that topped analyst projections. Pernod Ricard SA gained 1.9 percent after the distiller raised its earnings forecasts. National Bank of Greece SA (ETE) soared 18 percent amid optimism Greek aid talks will conclude this week.
The benchmark Stoxx Europe 600 Index rose 1.4 percent to 261.74 at 4:56 p.m. in London. The gauge closed at the lowest level since March 15 yesterday after Standard & Poor's cut Spain's credit rating, one day after downgrading Greek and Portuguese debt.
"Sovereign debt concerns are being offset by strong corporate numbers," said Manoj Ladwa, a London-based senior trader at ETX Capital. "Investors are focusing on which country will be next to be downgraded."
Nouriel Roubini, the New York University professor who forecast the U.S. recession more than a year before it began, yesterday warned sovereign debt from the U.S. to Japan and Greece will lead to higher inflation or government defaults.
Almost $1 trillion of worldwide equity value was erased April 27 on concern that debt will spur defaults, prompting German Chancellor Angela Merkel and the International Monetary Fund to step up efforts to overcome the Greek fiscal crisis.
National Benchmarks
National benchmark indexes rebounded today, climbing in all 18 western European markets except Iceland. Germany's DAX rose 1 percent, France's CAC climbed 1.4 percent and the U.K.'s FTSE 100 increased 0.6 percent. In Greece, the benchmark ASE Index soared 7.1 percent.
Of the companies on the Stoxx 600 that have reported earnings since April 12, about 70 percent have beaten analysts' estimates, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. In the U.S., almost 80 percent of S&P 500 companies have topped projections.
Shares of Santander rallied 4 percent to 9.461 euros after the Spanish bank posted a 5.7 percent increase in first-quarter profit to 2.22 billion euros as growth in Brazil and the U.K. countered a slump at home. The median estimate in a survey of nine analysts was 2.11 billion euros.
Pernod Ricard climbed 1.9 percent to 64.18 euros after the maker of Absolut vodka raised its forecast for full-year earnings after demand for premium cognac in China helped the distiller beat analysts' estimates for sales.
Profit from recurring operations will rise by about 3 percent this year, more than a previous forecast of 1 percent to 3 percent. Revenue (RI) excluding duties and taxes rose to 1.54 billion euros in the three months through March, beating analyst estimates of 1.43 billion euros.
Greek Banks
National Bank of Greece, the nation's biggest lender, soared 18 percent to 12 euros, while EFG Eurobank Ergasias SA (EUROB), the second-largest, rallied 14 percent to 6.07 euros. Alpha Bank SA climbed 10 percent to 5.95 euros.
European Union Economic and Monetary Affairs Commissioner Olli Rehn told reporters in Brussels today that he is confident discussions on the aid package for Greece will conclude "in the next days."
"The financial support will give Greece sufficient breathing space from pressure of financial markets," he said. Details on the aid package would be available "soon." German Chancellor Angela Merkel also said the results of talks with Greece over an aid package can be expected "in a few days."
Unilever, Repsol
Unilever gained 3.3 percent to 1,980 pence in London after the world's second-largest food and detergent company reported a 33 percent increase in first-quarter profit to 973 million euros as lower prices spurred shoppers to buy more Dove soap and Lipton tea. That beat the average analyst estimates of 909 million euros in a Bloomberg survey. Sales rose 6.7 percent to 10.1 billion euros.
Repsol YPF SA climbed 4.1 percent to 17.545 euros after Spain's biggest oil company said production at its upstream division will increase 3 to 4 percent a year through 2014 as it develops projects from Brazil to Algeria. Repsol plans to invest 28.5 billion euros over the period.
Standard Life Plc (SL/) gained 4.4 percent to 202 pence after Scotland's biggest insurer reported a 30 percent rise in first-quarter revenue to 4.65 billion pounds ($7.1 billion) on higher sales of long-term savings products to U.K. companies. That beat the 3.83 billion-pound median estimate of three analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.
British Sky Broadcasting Group Plc (BSY) climbed 4.9 percent to 625 pence after the U.K.'s biggest pay-television provider said third-quarter operating profit rose 3 percent to 244 million pounds as it added subscribers to its high-definition TV service.
BP Plc (BP/), which vies with Royal Dutch Shell Plc for the title of Europe's biggest oil company, sank 6.5 percent to 584.2 pence, on course for the biggest slump since 2008. One of BP's oil wells in the Gulf of Mexico is leaking as many as 5,000 barrels of crude a day, five times more than previous estimates, the U.S. Coast Guard said.

Chapter 36 : A Sad Song
|Rating: Mature
|Chapter Reviews: 1
Background: Font color:
And I'm gonna make it really long,
So everyone can see,
That I'm very unhappy.
Walk Charla, I commanded, keep walking now, don't you dare look back, don't look behind you, keep going. You have a ticket. You have a job. Don't turn around.
~ ~ ~
I knew if I did look back, I would never leave. Now, I wish I did. I wish I'd never left my friends, my family, my sister. My James.
The job I'd got hadn't even been worth it. Scotland was cold, my house was small and it didn't have that homey feel to it. I was lost and all alone.
I sat at my desk, head in my hands, staring down at the blank piece of paper.
An apology. That was what I wanted to appear, an apology for me to just tie to the leg of my little owl and send off. It's what I needed to do. But every time my pen poised on the paper, so many words flowed out and crammed into such a little space. Would James even want to read something so long?
Just as I was about to start writing again, there was a knock on the door downstairs.
'Oh bloody hell!' I cursed loudly, slamming my fist against the wall. Breaking the bones again. I'd got pretty good at healing spells over the past month.
'Can I help you?' I opened the door, flexing my newly fixed fingers. There was a young man outside, he was holding a baby dragon, it was belching dark smoke into his face and he looked disgusted. 'Ah,' I smiled grimly, reaching out for the dragon. 'Is she yours?' I asked. Immediately recognising the gender of the dragon from the colouring.
'Nope, I found her in my garden, she nearly ate my niece.' The guy chuckled. He was probably around twenty. He was quite good looking, dusty blonde hair and green eyes. But James's face swam into mind over his.
'I'm Flynn.' He had an America accent, he definitely didn't belong in Scotland.
'Charla,' I stuck out a hand, balancing the dragon in one arm.
'Nice to meet you,' he grinned, 'so you gonna be able to help that.'
'She'll be fine, I better see to her soon,' I almost shut the door on him before adding, 'you can come and see her tomorrow if you're worried.'
Nothing ever happened between me and Flynn, he went back home to America, and I wasn't sorry to see the back of his. He was a pain in the arse really.
I wished I wasn't always wrong,
I wish it wasn't always my fault,
The finger that your pointing, has knocked me on my knees
And all you need to know is...
'Good morning Charla,' my boss greeted me from across the Dragon park. The Boss, (which was all we ever called him) was quite a nice bloke, he was like Charlie Weasley, same build and everything. Minus the red hair.
'Hey Boss,' I called back, picking up a newspaper as I pulled cast a fireproof charm over myself. I could feel my face pale.
'Oh crap, did Angel not get rid of that.' Boss appeared at my side, trying to take the newspaper away. Of course Angel didn't get rid of it, Angel didn't like me very much.
On the front cover there was a picture of James, he looked sullen and irritated. I read the article, avoiding Boss's grabbing hands.
'She was the worst thing that happened to me,' Says Quidditch star James Potter on ex-girlfriend Charla Wood. 'She never appreciated what she got and she was a terrible friend, in the end.'
I wanted to stop reading, but my eyes were glued to the page.
Weasley cousin Dominique entitled, Bitch of the Century by Potter himself.
'Enough Wood,' Boss set fire to the paper, though the flames couldn't burn my hands though, because of the charm I'd placed on myself. 'That was a piece of Skeeters work, don't believe the crap she writes.'
I felt like someone had thrown me against a wall. Shocked and breathless.
I'm so sorry, it's not like me,
It's maturity that I'm lacking,
So don't let me go, just let me know,
That growing up goes slow.
I took up the paper and pen in my hand and began to write again.
I'm sorry, I scribbled, I made a huge mistake, I can't believe I did that... I repeated the same things over and over again. I almost thought I had enough confidence this time to send it, but I reached my owl and decided against it. Setting the sheet of paper aflame.
If Dom was here, she'd convince me that it wasn't my fault. That James should have chased me, he should have followed. But didn't I make it quite clear I didn't want to be followed.
I have to leave James, I had said, you can't stop me this time.
The look on his face as I uttered those words. It was his nightmare, I knew it was. I'd promise that I would move in with him, no matter what. I had lost that chance now. Sometimes I wondered if he really did hate me for leaving. I wouldn't blame him. I hated me for leaving.
All I really wanted was to be back in his arms with him whispering to me that it would all be ok. That Fairytales did exist and we had our own personal one.
I hadn't learnt that I needed him back then. And in time, I was full of regret.
I wonder what my mum and dad would say,
If I told them that I cried each day,
And it's hard enough to live so far away.
'Yes mum,' I chided sweetly, 'it's lovely here, I really love it.' Lies.
My head was dancing around her fireplace via the floor network, I just dropped in to chat. 'I know sweetie, I'm glad you like it, but you remember you've been away two years, you should come and visit.' She replied, concerned.
Mum had moved back to England to be closer to Rory. I never saw Rory when I called like this, I guess she didn't really want to see me.
'I know Mum, but I'm really busy this month,' I lied smoothly. I just couldn't face everyone back home. I wouldn't come back, and I loved the working with the dragons. It was all I ever wanted to do from as soon as I met Ella, James's uncle Charlie's Dragon. It was my only source of income too.
My parents would hate to hear that I had spent the best part of the past week in tears. My only friend here, a girl of the same age as me named Libby, was visiting her friends in Wales. I was by myself.
I wish I wasn't always cold,
I wish I wasn't always alone,
When the party's over how will I get home,
And all you need to know is...
'Charla,' Libby cried, kissing my cheek, 'I thought you couldn't come.'
I hadn't planned on coming to the party Libby's boyfriend was throwing, I barely knew anyone, and, while I had been a party person back at Hogwarts, I preferred to spend my evenings at home these days.
'Well I'm here,' I hugged my friend back and nodded to her mates that were standing beside her. Was it so bad of me to already be wishing for the end of the party.
'Well have fun this evening Char,' Libby grinned, blowing brunette hair out of her face, 'there are loads of cute boys around.' She winked at turned to her boyfriend and I turned to wander the room.
It was cold here, in the living room of Libby's boyfriends house; I pulled the Quidditch hoodie I was wearing closer around me. Behind me, several girls snickered, and one tapped me on my shoulder.
'Didn't you see what Potter wrote in the paper the other month, he's so over you!' she laughed.
'So?' I said dully.
'So why are you wearing his jumper?'
Mortified, I looked down and sure enough his number, six, was written in gold over the red, rather than my five.
I wasn't going to let these girls have the satisfaction of my embarrassment.
'It's comfortable, Potter can say anything he likes about me but he's not getting his hoodie back!' I promised. Then I left. Apparating home.
I'm so sorry, it's not like me,
It's maturity that I'm lacking,
So don't let me go, just let me know,
That growing up goes slow.
'Hey you,' I picked up the little dragon that Flynn had given me so long ago. She was still quite small. I had found that she and Ella had the same disease, neither could breathe fire and neither could grow more than the size of a Muggle Microwave.
I couldn't let her go when I knew that if she had a link to Ella she had a link to James. And so I named her Ellie.
Ellie snapped playfully at my fingers, she'd never bitten me before, but I was always careful handling her, just in case.
I put Ellie on the counter as I began to wash dishes the Muggle way. It took up more of my time, made everything a little less painful knowing I had something to do. 'Ellie don't do that!' I commanded as she started chewing my mail. 'Did you know, Ellie, that tomorrow, I will have been in Scotland for three years?' Ellie looked at me blankly, of course, she had no idea what I was saying. 'And my sister graduated two weeks ago and I didn't even call...'
Ellie cocked her head to one side and growled meekly. 'Yeah Ellie,' I rubbed her head affectionately, 'I love you.' I whispered.
If all the rules were meant to bend, And you swore you were my friend,
Now I have to start all over again, cause no one's going to take your place,
And I'm scared we'll never save all the pieces
Of love we made.
That night, I lay in my bed and listened to Ellie chewing the bars of her cot. I was crying again, of course. I remembered a moment so long ago, just before I had started at Hogwarts. I had asked James if we would always be friends, he promised we would. He swore that nothing, big or small would ever come between us. Even if I was a Slytherin, which in those days was the ultimate sin.
I cried not because I missed James though, but because I knew I would never have anything like the relationship I had with James, ever again. It was one of a kind, and one-of-a-kind things don't tend to repeat themselves. I couldn't save all the pieces of our friendship when they were scattered on the floor.
Or could I?
'Ellie,' I whispered, getting up and wiping my tears. The sun had set hours ago, it was probably around midnight. I pulled a jumper over my head. It was James's Quidditch Hoodie, again. Since the night of the party, it seemed to be all I ever wore.
I was in walking distance of the Dragon Park, so I hurried over, Ellie wrapped in a blanket under my arm, squirming desperately.
'Boss,' I knocked on the door to his office. Boss was strange, he never really left his office, he was there almost any time of the night, and arrived there in the morning before any of the other employees.
'Charla?' he opened the door, looking a bit surprised at my attire. 'What can I do for you?'
I'm so sorry, it's not like me,
It's maturity that I'm lacking,
So don't let me go, just let me know,
I can slip and fall and you won't let me go.
I packed my bags. It didn't take long, my house was mostly full of Ellie's things anyway, and my clothes, well, they were in a case with the flick of my wand.
I'd talked to Boss, telling him that I would probably come back for Ellie at some point, but until then I knew she had a home at the Dragon Park, and Boss would take good care of her. Boss always took care of things, he took care of my house too, and sold it once I was gone, putting the money in my Gringotts account.
I apparated to the station, I didn't want to floo home in the middle of the night and it was too far to apparated. Besides, I needed time to think of exactly where I would go. Would it really be right to just appear at either of my parents houses, without any notice.
I had sent my owl off with a letter to Libby, and told it to fly to my mother's house when she had delivered the note. I hoped she understood.
The train left at three in the morning. I didn't know why, but for some reason it did, and I would arrive at one, just in time to catch Aurora who would be coming home on the Hogwarts Express.
Being in Scotland had been a mistake, a fall, and now, it was time to make things right. And see who would be there to catch me when I got home, if anybody.
Just let me know, that growing up goes slow.
I'm so sorry, it's not like me,
It's maturity that I'm lacking,
So don't let me go, just let me know,
That growing up goes slow.
I got off the Train at Kings Cross, I felt nostalgic, wishing for the old times when I came here at least twice a year. Always knowing that I had a place to stay and a place to go.
Glancing up towards the clock, I saw that I had arrived five minutes earlier than I expected, I had time to rush across the station to where the Hogwarts Express to arrive.
I was only a few meters away from the barrier when I saw a familiar face. Of course I should have expected it.
Tall, dark hair, pale skin, still skinny as ever.
'Roisia?' four heads snapped round towards me.
Maybe there was such thing as a Happy Ending.
Oh my days I cannot believe that this is the second last chapter in my first novel on Harry Potter Fanfiction. For those of you who write I'm sure you know what a great feeling this is, though kinda sad because this story has been my lifeline through some troubled times. For you readers thank you so much for reading and that cherry on top would be a review. Hint hint.
Well, now if you can't guess what's happening you can't be trying very hard! Anyways JK Rowling owns Harry Potter, and Christina Perri is the owner of the song I used which is A Sad Song! I hope you enjoyed, please, please leave a review!

Are you talking about the bread made up of Wheat Floor?
'More than evidence'
I've heard it all now... So you study medical science (allegedly), yet you claim anecdotal evidence to be more important than empirical research using large sample sizes?!
Good luck with your studies, I think you might need it.
By the way, have you seen a specialist about your eyes? You seem to have massively dilated pupils. Another side effect to those magic pills? ;-)
People don't stop growing at 18, studies show that people continue growing well into their twenties at a much slower rate but they do grow. Your pituitary gland not automatically magically turn off at 18.
Children can be much taller then their parents based on nutrition alone. Most foods are enriched now. Studies have even shown that even Pygmies a notoriously small people will grow far more then their parents with proper nutrition. The average human height has increased over the centuries due to nutrition and availability of food alone.
As for Baryta Carbonica, it is technically a poison. It can increase irritation in the abdominal organs causing peristaltic action of the bowels. It can in rare cases cause paralysis in cardiac muscles. It has similar properties to Belladonna. It can be useful in cases where people have severe tremors, however it should only be used under the full guidance and care of a real MD.
If you're going to give medical advice with your very minor training, you should do your research and you should also have a disclaimer that fully states that you are not a medical doctor nor have you had the training to give any medical advice and in fact giving medical advice with your lack of knowledge and education is indeed an immoral act and you are most likely shrinking right now.
Are you talking about the bread made up of Wheat Floor?
Yes - however biscuits and pancakes are made from almost the same recipe - it was a family joke when I was 8 years old or so when people would tease me.- but I took the advice and am just under 6 ft 4 in tall - so who knows.
Nutrition does play some part - I think I saw that the average height of people in Japan jumped 3 or 4 inches in a generation or two following World War II when they had a better balanced diet.
Thumbs up!
i wanna grow taller and im 20, can anyone help me ? please ?:)
You should have eaten your vegetables as a child.
I'm 4ft 11ins and no amount of manure in me boots over the years has helped me grow taller.
As for Baryta Carbonica, it is technically a poison.
Yes it is a good alternative of poison when you take the whole bottle at once. Cause it (and many or almost all the homeopathic) medicines contain 90% alcohol. And taking concentrated alcohol (90%alcohol 10%water) (when Methylated) is more dangerous than poison.
OMG censor my comment please :D
But taking homeopathic medicines in the form of solid has no negative affect on you.(there's alcohol in less than 1%)
I don't think any pill can extend your height more than 2-3 inches.
All the medicines we see in the ads have rich side effects. Cause most of them contain steroids or vitamins. There's a logic Our body makes steroid by itself and taking them from outside causes disturbances in the body. I think exercise and taking good food makes you tall. I'll tell you tomorrow after asking it from medical specialist of my store.
Is whey protein good to take? Is there any side effect of it?
(Can anyone tell me exactly how to write the feet and inches mathematically. I've forgotten Maths after entering medical field lol :) )
Dear God above!
iphonist1 what you posted actually sounds like an ad.
As for increasing height - when you get to my age you start losing height.
Was that a joke? Or are you trying to answer more than a month old question?
Genetics play only 25% role in it. My father was only 5 6 and my mother is just 5 4 and my brother is 6 1...........
I have five brothers all over 6', my mum was 5' 2 dad was 5' 6, when I was 18 I was 5' 7, when I was 22 I was 5' 9 as I still am now and do you know why, I found another 2" in the pocket of my old genes... x
Adding the " for ardpete lol xxx
@hnsaifi. It was a quote from iphonist's post above. Admittedly it's posted wrong and my comment is also in the quotation box. But to admit to forgetting maths when supposedly studying medicine is to my mind, appalling.
And yes, I meant Dear God Above. I should've added God help us!
I'm 6 foot, 2 1/2 inches. It's does me okay. I'm not quite sure what this thread is about.
Do you still want more height Daniel?
when I was 18 I was 5' 7, when I was 22 I was 5' 9
And still people say you stop growing taller after 18.
I've heard that you grow taller if you don't feed the trolls.

ST. FRANCIS, Wis. -- Milwaukee Bucks forward Mike Dunleavy was back at practice Monday and expects to play Tuesday against Indiana. "I had a good day at practice, it feels pretty good," Dunleavy said. "Hopefully I'll be able to play tomorrow night. Unless something acts up tomorrow after a full day of practice, I'm hopeful to play." Bucks coach Scott Skiles was away from the team Monday due to an illness. Assistant coach Jim Boylan ran practice, but Skiles is expected to coach the team Tuesday against the Pacers. For Dunleavy, who suffered a bone bruise on Nov. 30 when a Timberwolves player clipped the back of his knee on a box out, the recovery process has been frustrating. The term "day-to-day" is tossed around quite a bit in sports, but his injury truly was. Most days he'd try to test the knee, only to find he still wasn't ready. "The injury was one of those where you don't know if it was going to be a couple days or a couple of weeks," Dunleavy said. "I'm still getting over it, but I feel good enough to go out and play." After missing the Boston game the night after suffering the injury, Dunleavy tried to play against New Orleans on Dec. 3, but hasn't played since, missing a total of seven games. "At the time (of the injury) it bothered me, but I kept playing through it," Dunleavy said. "Then the next day we had a back-to-back at home and I just couldn't go. Then in New Orleans I felt better and played through that but then the next day, it was bothering me again. You couldn't be taking one step forward and two steps back." Without Dunleavy and backup point guard Beno Udrih, who was also injured in Minnesota, the Bucks once potent bench has lacked punch. Before the two were injured, Dunleavy and Udrih's ball movement was key in the second unit's success. "It's good to have him back," Boylan said. "He certainly helps us in a lot of different areas. Shooting the ball, moving the ball, it's great to have him back. Hopefully Beno is not too far behind." The bug moving through the Bucks locker room appears to have hit the man in charge. Skiles sent Boylan a text Monday morning letting him know he wasn't feeling well and the two hashed out a practice plan together. Tough week ahead: Saturday the Bucks struggled on the back-end of a back-to-back, now Milwaukee faces two of them this week. The Bucks will host Indiana Tuesday at the BMO Harris Bradley Center before heading to Memphis Wednesday to face the Grizzlies in a nationally televised game on ESPN. After a day off Thursday, Milwaukee is in Boston Friday to play the Celtics for the fourth time this season. The week wraps up with a home game against Cleveland Saturday. "We are playing some good teams so it is a big week for us before we get into the Christmas holiday," Boylan said. "It would be nice to put together a couple of good games." In the team's first meeting, the Bucks jumped on Indiana early and cruised to a 99-85 victory on Nov. 15. The Pacers were struggling at the time, still learning to play without injured star Danny Granger. While Granger is still out of the lineup, Indiana is playing much better basketball heading into Tuesday's match-up. Since losing to Milwaukee, Indiana is 10-5 and have caught the Bucks for second place in the Central Division, one game behind Chicago. After Monday's practice, Boylan warned the team to be ready for a team that won't be too happy with the way it played in Milwaukee the first time around. "I'm sure they are going to come in with some energy," Boylan said. "We have to be ready. Hopefully we are getting ready both physically and mentally." Follow Andrew Gruman on Twitter.

David Mills, 48, TV Writer and Producer
By BRUCE WEBER
Published: April 1, 2010
David Mills, a former journalist who explored race relations and racial tensions as an Emmy-winning television writer for dramas like ''NYPD Blue,'' ''The Wire'' and ''Homicide,'' died on Tuesday in New Orleans on the set of a new show, ''Treme.'' He was 48 and had homes in Los Angeles and Silver Spring, Md.
The cause is thought to be a brain aneurysm, said David Simon, the creator of ''Treme'' and a longtime friend of Mr. Mills's.
The show, which is set in New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina -- the title is the name of a neighborhood, pronounced truh-MAY -- is to have its premiere on HBO on April 11. Mr. Simon said Mr. Mills was the supervising writer-producer for a scene being shot at Cafe du Monde in the French Quarter and was sitting in a director's chair when he suddenly slumped over. He was taken to Tulane Medical Center, where he died without regaining consciousness.
''He was talking to someone who turned away for a minute, and when he turned back, David was just, well, gone,'' Mr. Simon said.
Both as a journalist -- he worked for The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Times and The Washington Post -- and as a television writer, Mr. Mills was most interested in the subject of race. He wrote about its manifestations in music, politics and American culture in general in a forthright style and with a voice that betrayed fascination but no ideology or identifiable bias.
A light-skinned black man whose racial identity was not always evident to those around him, he wrote white characters and black characters with equal zeal, as shown in episodes of ''NYPD Blue'' featuring the racially insensitive white police officer Andy Sipowicz (played by Dennis Franz) and the often seething black lieutenant Arthur Fancy (James McDaniel). Mr. Mills was able ''to travel with great fluidity between worlds and communities,'' Mr. Simon said.
Mr. Mills's blog, which he wrote for the past five years, was called ''Undercover Black Man.''
Mr. Mills shared two Emmy awards -- one for outstanding mini-series, one for outstanding writing for a mini-series -- for his work on ''The Corner,'' a six-episode drama about a year in the life of a neighborhood in inner-city Baltimore that was based on a book by Mr. Simon and Ed Burns and was shown on HBO in 2000. The relationship of Mr. Mills, Mr. Simon, who is white, and the show's director, Charles Dutton, who is black, was the subject of an article in The New York Times in 2000, ''Who Gets to Tell a Black Story?,'' that was part of the paper's series Pulitzer Prize-winning series ''How Race Is Lived in America.''
Mr. Mills also wrote for Mr. Simon's other notable dramas, ''Homicide,'' set in Baltimore; and ''The Wire,'' HBO's taut portrait of that city's institutions. His other credits included ''E.R.,'' NBC's long-running hospital show, and ''Kingpin,'' a show he created about a drug trafficker that was canceled by NBC after six episodes in 2003.
David Eugene Mills was born in Washington and grew up in the northeast section of the city before a fire forced his family to move to Lanham, Md. He graduated from the University of Maryland at College Park, where he met Mr. Simon while the two worked for The Diamondback, the campus daily newspaper.
After college he worked for The Wall Street Journal in Chicago, but left after a year to return to Washington to write first for The Times and then The Post, where he covered race and popular culture. His interview with the rapper Sister Souljah after the Los Angeles riots of 1992 created headlines when an already incendiary quotation from her -- ''I mean, if black people kill black people every day, why not have a week and kill white people?'' -- was cited by an outraged presidential candidate, Bill Clinton.
The same year, Mr. Simon asked Mr. Mills for help in writing an episode of ''Homicide,'' which was being adapted from Mr. Simon's nonfiction book about the Baltimore police department's homicide unit. After the episode, which starred Robin Williams, was broadcast in 1994, Mr. Mills left The Post for Hollywood.
He worked briefly as a story editor for the David Kelley series ''Picket Fences,'' but his big break came when he read an interview with David Milch, the lead writer of ''NYPD Blue,'' who said that black writers had a hard time writing for mainstream commercial television. Mr. Mills wrote an arch note to Mr. Milch, who hired him.
For his work on the show, he was nominated twice for Emmys.
Mr. Mills is survived by a brother, Franklin Mills, of Washington, and two sisters, Blanche Carroll, of Peoria, Ariz., and Gloria Johnson, of Charlotte, N.C.

Kason's first Christmas was exciting for my little guy. He got some great gifts, and Mommy got to see some old friends that she hasn't seen in forever. Although I didn't get to spend time with my daughter this year I saw her Christmas Eve for a bit but this is her father's year to have her so that was a major bummer. I threw one particular picture in the mix only to show you my Christmas Eve outfit which i Love. The top came from Nordstroms off the Rack , shoes from the Aldo 2010 collection, necklace from Daily Look and the Jacket which I absolutely fell in love with and JUST purchased myself for my birthday is from Mango and available here. Happy Birthday to me right? I've gotten so many compliments on it. It is different and so warm. I love the side panels and it's my first suede jacket in my collection.
Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and also be safe and have a great happy new years! xoxoxo

Speedy Sainato running to win
Receiver hopes to lead Colonie into playoffs
Published 12:50 am, Wednesday, August 31, 2011
COLONIE -- Rushing the football usually has been a potent element to the Colonie High attack, which has featured stars like Chuckie Dukes, Chad Dukes and R.J. Harvey, among others.
But the ability to throw the football short and deep likely will determine the Garnet Raiders' ability to make a concerted push toward a Class AA Liberty Division playoff berth.
Colonie coach Mike Ambrosio is counting on senior wide receiver Giancarlo Sainato becoming a name opponents gameplan for and fear.
"The key is keeping (quarterback) Steve Wutzer upright so he throws the ball. The perimeter game is our strength," Ambrosio said. "With the running backs we have and Giancarlo on the wing, speed is our forte. We might end up using the pass to set up the run."
Sainato, a standout on the Colonie indoor and outdoor track and field teams who finished third at the 2011 state outdoor championships in the 800 meters, is looking to make his senior season on the gridiron a memorable one.
More Information
"I'm definitely looking to improve the receiving yards I had last year," Sainato said. "With the other guys we have here at receiver and running back, we feel the recipe for success is our speed."
Sainato sees a connection with Wutzer as one that can flourish this fall.
"Last year was a good way to start off our varsity careers together, and we're looking to improve on that this year," Sainato said. "You have to have confidence. When I catch the ball, I'm looking for big yards after contact, and I'm trying to get to the end zone on every play. I have the ability to do that."
"He understands he can't just use his speed. It is about route combinations and using his hands to get free. Giancarlo has done what he needs to do to improve his game," Ambrosio said.
In addition to his receiving duties, Sainato will start at free safety, return kicks and play on the coverage teams.
"I think I have good vision and can see the whole field at safety," Sainato said. "As a senior, it is my obligation to be on the field and do what I can to help us win games."
The 2010 Colonie squad took three shutout defeats in its first six outings before the Garnet Raiders' playoff chances were dashed with a 23-6 loss in Week 7 against Schenectady.
Colonie went on to drop crossover contests to Guilderland (25-7) and Bethlehem (14-13) to finish 3-6.
Ambrosio considers Shaker the team to beat in the Liberty Division.
"The other three playoff spots are wide open. Shaker, based on what they have coming back, and what Greg (Sheeler, Shaker's coach) is doing with those kids, they are the team to beat in our division," Ambrosio said.
The Garnet Raiders should know their playoff fate before the end of September, because their first four games are Liberty Division contests -- beginning with Saturday night's game at Schenectady that will be broadcast by Time Warner Cable Sports.
"We want a playoff berth -- no matter what seed it is," Sainato said. Once you get to the playoffs, anything can happen."

Enterprise and National both have preferred partner status with the university, which is a member of the Educational & Institutional Collaborative -- a not-for-profit buying cooperative made up of about 1,600 schools and hospitals that achieves savings by leveraging purchasing power.
The Emerald Club provides an opportunity for employees to enjoy benefits in addition to the savings that come from the preferred partner agreement. The benefits of the program include an expedited online reservation process via Concur, access to an exclusive member services hotline and members-only counters with pre-printed rental agreements at more than 400 airports in the United States and Canada.
According to Corris, this is a good program for any employee who needs a rental car mostly because of the counter bypass option and the ability to choose any car in the Emerald Club section.
"If a large car is available the university still only pays for a mid-sized car," he said. "Additionally, both Enterprise and National rental car receipts are automatically exported into Concur with zero effort on the part of the employee. Employees must remember to add their Emerald Club number into their Concur profile in order to automate the reservation process."
Employees who would like to find more information or enroll in the program should visit https://www.nationalcar.com/offer/ohio

The Good: Gamecocks Rising to the OccasionThe Tigers may have had the upper hand early, with Tajh Boyd accounting for 2 TDs in the first quarter, but it was all South Carolina after that. Jadeveon Clowney almost single-handedly shut down the Clemson offense with 4.5 sacks, but it was backup QB Dylan Thompson who stole the show. Thompson only got the starting nod on Wednesday, due to an injury to Connor Shaw sustained against Wofford last week, but still managed to throw for 310 yards and 3 scores. He also chipped in with 38 yards on the ground. The Bad: Tajh BoydBoyd had been the subject of a lot of Heisman talk with his sterling play since the loss to Florida State, and he was coming off the back of an 8-TD performance against North Carolina State. However, despite his bright start, he spent the rest of the evening running for his life from a fierce Gamecock pass rush, finishing with a pedestrian 183 yards and 1 TD, against 2 interceptions. His struggles, together with the loss, more than likely ended any realistic shot he had at the Heisman too.The Ugly: Clemson's DefenseFor a group of Tigers, they sure were toothless. The South Carolina offense had their way with Clemson, gaining 444 yards and holding possession for a mammoth 39:58. The Gamecocks converted 11 of 21 third downs and had scoring drives of 7,12,10,8 and 13 plays, and a 15-play drive that ended with a goal-line interception. The sloppy Tiger defense helped drives along with some untimely penalties and failed to make key stops, especially on third-and-long.

Ten sessions into this series and already England must be wondering which of their bowlers to drop ahead of Thursday's second Test at Lord's. It's not as if the attack has suffered a collective meltdown – they haven't been quite as bad as that. But perspiration has trumped inspiration to an alarming degree. Suddenly, Cardiff feels like the Caribbean, where England's hopes of a series-equalling win kept falling foul of heart-breaking pitches and their own inadequacies.
Four years ago, when England lost the first Ashes Test at Lord's, the management decided not to panic. The same 11 were given the chance to redeem themselves at Edgbaston – a chance they duly took. But in 2005 England's bowlers had at least rattled Australia, skittling them for 190 on the opening day. This time they have not so much rattled them as rolled them over and tickled their bellies. The calls for change will be hard to resist.
Top of the list will be Stuart Broad and Monty Panesar. Broad remains a work in progress, a bowler whose Test average of almost 40 is politely ignored in expectation of better days ahead. Perhaps. But his pre-lunch burst on Thursday to Phillip Hughes might have been designed by Hughes himself, since when he has apparently been caught between two stools: drop short, like Steve Harmison, or pitch it up, à la Graham Onions? In the end, he has done neither: he has never conceded more runs in a Test innings.
To nominate Panesar may feel harsh, because he has generally outbowled Graeme Swann, his supposed elder and better. But he remains behind him in the queue after the events of the winter and – as Thursday morning showed – England are grateful for Swann's runs.
More than that, Panesar has not looked content with life. Two hours before play began this morning he went on a slow lap of the ground with Mushtaq Ahmed, England's spin-bowling coach, and the two talked and talked, with Monty – head bowed – occasionally flapping his arms. Presumably the conversation wasn't about shopping. The suspicion is the joie de vivre has deserted him: witness his subdued reaction after bowling Ricky Ponting. The old Monty wouldn't have given a damn whether Ponting had made 150 or not.
The reality is England are already in the position where they need to try something different. A recall for Steve Harmison sticks in the craw after the way he has let England down repeatedly since an 11-for against Pakistan at Old Trafford three years ago, but he has looked better by the over here, and has been taking wickets for Durham. Graham Onions, meanwhile, must fancy his chances as the kind of pitch-it-up skidder that has troubled Australia in the past. He did well at Lord's recently against West Indies too.
What was clear, though, as Australia milked their way to 577 for five at lunch and Marcus North became the third centurion of the innings was that something has to give. England have only lost four Tests after batting first and making more than 435. Unless they perk up, they'll be relying on the weather to prevent that figure reaching five.

The interior pillar panels cover the interior body pillars of the vehicle. The A-pillar is located at the front windshield. The B-pillar is located between the front and rear doors. The C-pillar is located behind the rear door. Replace any broken trim panel clips and work with care so as not to damage the trim panel finish.
The interior B-pillar trim on BMW E46 models covers the components and body structure at the B-pillar (center pillar) of the vehicle. The B-pillar is comprised of an upper and lower trim panel. To remove the B-pillar trim, you have to remove the door entrance trim first. You can get away with removing only the front door entrance trim, and sliding B-pillar out of the rear door entrance trim when removing. Once removed you can access the seat belt reel or continue further interior disassembly to remove the headliner and access sunroof components. ItâÂs a good idea to have extra trim panel clips on hand in case a few break during disassembly.
E46 models are equipped with curtain airbags above the doors. Do not use sharp metal tools when prying an interior pillar panel away from the roof liner. To avoid marring the trim or damaging the airbag, work with a plastic prying tool or wrap a screwdriver tip with masking tape before prying out trim panels, switches or electrical accessories.
Keep in mind that when your car was serviced before, parts may have been replaced with different size fasteners used in the replacement. The sizes of the nuts and bolts we give may be different from what you have, so be prepared with different size sockets and wrenches.
Protect your eyes, hands and body from fluids, dust and debris while working on your vehicle. If you are working with the electrical system, disconnect the battery before beginning. Always catch fluids in appropriate containers and properly dispose of any fluid waste. Recycle parts, packaging and fluids when possible. Do not work on your vehicle if you feel the task is beyond your ability.
Vehicle models change and evolve, as they grow older, so the vehicle shown in our illustrations may vary slightly from yours. If something seems different, let us know and share your info to help other users. Do you have questions or want to add to the article? Leave a comment below. When leaving a comment, please leave your vehicle information.
Start by moving seat all the way forward and up to highest position. Then working at the outer seat rail, remove the seat belt mounting bolt. If you do not raise seat bottom you will not be able to access this fastener.
Then remove the front door entrance strip (green arrow) on the side of vehicle you are removing B-pillar trim on.
Using a trim panel tool, lever up door entrance strip in areas marked by green arrows. There are four panel clips to disengage. If any of the entrance strip trim clips remain in door sill when removing, lever them out and slide back into door entrance strip. They can move around to any location on the entrance strip, so be sure to properly align the clip with corresponding hole in body.
Using a plastic prying tool, lever out bottom (green arrow) of B-pillar trim, (on side you removed door entrance trim, front).
Then working at rear bottom of B-pillar trim, using a plastic prying tool, lever out bottom (green arrow) of B-pillar trim.
B-pillar trim should now be disconnected at bottom as shown in this photo.
Once th B-pillar trim has been disconnected at bottom, slide down and out of upper B-pillar trim piece (purple arrow). With lower B-pillar trim piece removed, now you will remove upper B-pillar trim.
Pull out center of plastic expanding rivets (green arrows) then remove plastic rivets from vehicle body.
Slide B-pillar trim down and detach from body. Once detached, slide seat belt through B-pillar trim and remove from vehicle. Once removed, you can remove seat belt reel or seat belt height adjuster if needed and replace. To install B-pillar trim, reverse removal instructions. Be sure to replace any broken trim clips or plastic rivets.

Amid the pay chaos, Africa countries makes 2014 World Cup history
Somehow, amid the chaos, Africa has made history at this World Cup.
Look past the bonus disputes and strike threats, and a plane apparently landing in Brazil with bundles of cash to keep an unhappy squad playing, and it's notable that Africa has two teams in the last 16. That, by African standards, is a rich return.
Nigeria and Algeria will represent the continent in the second round in Brazil. It might even have been three teams if not for a hotly-disputed penalty in the dying seconds of the group stage that denied Ivory Coast progress. Never before has more than one African nation gone through at one World Cup.
Africans are always searching for signs that their continent is truly ready to be a regular force in global football. It's difficult to tell if this is really one of them. Because while Africa is getting better organized on the field, it seems to be getting much worse off it.
Of the five African teams in Brazil — Nigeria, Algeria, Ivory Coast, Ghana and Cameroon — three of them have had their World Cup campaigns seriously affected by pay problems.
"It is sad that we end up with such a story," FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke on Friday said about Ghana's players threatening to boycott a match this week over unpaid bonuses.
Ghana, a quarter-finalist in 2010, had to go as far as flying hard cash in on a plane to keep the players committed to the decisive group game against Portugal. Cameroon's squad had refused to travel to Brazil until their demands for better bonuses were met. African champion Nigeria, days from its first knockout game at the World Cup since 1998, canceled a training session on Thursday to talk about money.
The pay is seriously distracting from the play.
The problem is not new to African teams — it happened with Togo at the World Cup in 2006 — but it's happening more often now, often enough for FIFA to take notice. At the core of it is a lack of trust between players and their national federations that what is promised to players before a World Cup is actually delivered after it.
For Ghana's players, stars of the last tournament in South Africa, it became a case of 'show me the money' in Brazil.
FIFA was on the brink of giving Ghana an advance on its $8 million in prize money to pay its players their agreed appearance fees before the West Africans said they found another last-minute solution involving a chartered plane and a lot of cash from back home.
FIFA will look at ways of solving this problem ahead of the World Cup from now on, Valcke said.
"What we have to do for future World Cups is to make (sure) that firstly there is an agreement between the players and their national associations for the payments of bonuses," he said.
Maybe it is time for FIFA to intervene because away from the cash chaos, African teams, with the exception of Cameroon, have been competitive at this World Cup.
Nigeria qualified and was impressive in the way it kept coming back at Argentina, one of the favourites, in a narrow 3-2 loss.
Algeria's attacking style has drawn praise and found reward with the North Africans reaching the second round for the first time.
Ivory Coast was unlucky to lose to Greece via that contentious late penalty. And Ghana completely unsettled Germany with its pace and power in a 2-2 draw before money got in the way ahead of the Portugal game.
Other countries see plenty of evidence of Africa's on-field progress. France is expecting a stern test from Nigeria when they meet in the knockout stage on Monday as African teams add tactical know-how to their natural talents.
"African teams have always had physical impact and speed," France midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin said. "Over the last few years they've improved tactically. They're good teams with a lot of quality."
Defender Bacary Sagna said African teams "are evolving as every team does. They're learning an awful lot."
But are they taking heed of other lessons?
Last year, Nigeria's football federation was severely criticized at home and an investigation was opened after the squad arrived days late in Brazil for the Confederations Cup because players were arguing with officials over pay.
Early on Thursday — a year on — Nigeria captain Joseph Yobo said in a statement meant to calm fears of similar problems at the World Cup: "We have reached this stage of the tournament, which is a special privilege, and we cannot afford to let the whole of Africa and especially Nigeria down. So please ... allow us to focus on our football and nothing else."
Hours later, he and his squad were locked in a meeting talking about money when they should have been on a training field preparing for Nigeria's first knockout game at a World Cup in 16 years.

OGYA says:June 28, 2014 07:50 amPlease GSN, give us a break. I don't care about Africa. I don't care about Nigeria and Algeria. As far as I am concern, I want them to loose. There is nothing to be gained by supporting them so stop writing about them. Its Ghana or nothing for me. Call me selfish. Africa don't feed Ghana, Nigerians do not wish our success neither do Algeria. I am just rooting for them to crash out, its all a matter of time. That idiot Ashanti or Brong Ahafo guy has disgraced Ghana and I am fuming as hell. I hope that munchkin is removed as the coach of the Ghana Black Stars. You keep talking about Nigeria at this Ghana website? you are out of your fucking mind. When Ghana was doing well four years ago there was not a single story about Ghana on any of the Nigerian Sports sites so stop annoying us and write only about Ghana. Let me tell you GSN if you do not stop annoying us, some of us are capable of creating a better blog than this about Ghana. You are becoming arrogant in your news collection thinking you have a captured audience? think twice. At this time Ghanaians are pissed of so if you continue to annoy us I will use my software Engineering skills to put up another Blog very sensitive to the feeling of my fellow Ghanaians with better writers. Keep on joking and your blog will soon loose its audience.
jax says:June 28, 2014 08:38 amits all about the money..btw this guys are the main actors in the field, i see no reason y some greedy men will just seat on their cash without doin anytin.
jidoo says:June 28, 2014 10:32 am@OGYA, na bad belle go kill u, 9ja n Algeria are in the 2nd round PERIOD. Am enjoying some Ghanaian pussy here in Accra.
Truth hurts says:June 28, 2014 03:32 pm@OGYA,who cares about just one foolish support from you? With or without you doesn't mean they will or will not win the world cup. If you listen to NIGERIA'S radio stations,you'll see the support we give all african teams,especially ghana,being our african bros. Whatever happens in the next games,the fact remains they're a step futher than Ghana period. Tht's the history. The support back home from 160mn ppple is enough. We don't anymore. Our voice alone is even enough to drain the whole of Africa. Viva NAIJA!!! The GIANT of Africa.
Truth hurts says:June 28, 2014 03:39 pmOne more record. Stephen Keshi is now the first black african to qualify a team to the second round. And also Nigeria has now scored the most goals in total for african countries at the mundial nice one. For the doubters, check fifa website.

Carrera, Clippers stay hot
COLUMBUS—Prior to the All-Star break, Ezequiel Carrera was hitting .258 and the Clippers were 45-45. Post All-Star break, the Clippers center fielder is hitting .467 and Columbus is 58-50.
There might not be a Clipper playing better since the Triple-A summer classic, and there probably isn't a Columbus player more responsible for the Clippers surge since the July 11 All-Star game than Carrera.
Saturday night, Carrera was yet again a big part in a Columbus victory, as the Clippers surged past the Rochester Red Wings for the fourth-straight night, 8-5. Columbus, coming off back-to-back victories in which the club scored a combined 29 runs—a franchise record over two games—had 13 hits in front of 11,271 fans at Huntington Park Saturday night.
Carrera had three RBIS, going 3-for-5 with a double, but plenty of other Clippers contributed on way to Columbus coming within 1.5 games of the Wild Card spot. First baseman Matt LaPorta and third baseman Jared Goedert had two hits a piece, while shortstop Gregrorio Petit reached base three times.
On the mound, Columbus starter Jeanmar Gomez struggled, allowing five runs over 6.1 innings of work. Thankfully for the Clippers, it didn't realy matter, as the club had little trouble plating runs against Rochester starter Liam Hendriks, who gave up seven runs on 12 hits in five frames.
Columbus got out to an early lead, scoring four runs over the first two innings after Rochester plated a run in the top of the first. LaPorta had an RBI double, Goedert scored a run on a single and Carrera had an RBI single through the first two frames.
After Goedert hit a solo shot in the third, Carrera, who is batting over .500 since the All-Star game, got things started for Columbus in the fourth. The center fielder led off the inning with a double, and later scored on a LaPorta single.
The Red Wings got within a run after scoring two runs in the top of the fifth, but Columbus had an answer. A Carrera single to center scored Clippers' catcher Luke Carlin in the bottom of the inning. The Clippers scored again in the seventh on a bunt single by Petit.
Columbus, at eight games over the .500 mark—a season-high, trails Pawtucket in the Wild-Card race by 1.5 games.
The Clippers play game two of its series against Rochester Sunday evening at 6:05 p.m.

Dear Jordan, the financial lawyer who met the redhead reading House of Leaves on the C near Washington Square:
You need to let it go. The data behind this judgment is pretty solid. Let me walk you through it.
Look, the number "Julie" gave you last Tuesday at approximately 8:30 am EST was off by one digit. By itself this would not be conclusive. It happens, right? But then, later in the day, you got a hunch and called several permutations of the number. That was smart, Jordan. Very smart. You reached a few disconnected lines, a gas station, a hospital, and the voicemail of a "Steve" (He's a nice guy, actually. The kind who seems like a bro at first, but he's really not. And you have some interests in common! But let's return...) Anyway, that last number you called was in fact Julie's. Your feeling that her machine's message sounded familiar was confirmed by the best voice matching technology in the world. But here's the problem: She was home, man.
I know Julie said she was busy lately. And I know you thought she might have been in the bathroom or sleeping or something. But our photographic analysis of the building's architectural footprint combined with thermal and acoustic imaging indicates conclusively that when you called Julie was next to the phone listening to your message. She was reclining on the couch watching a Discovery Channel show about exotic pets which attack their owners, and she deleted you within three seconds of your hang-up. Also, she'd seen this episode before. Ouch.
Don't take it personally, Jordan. I know you've been on three first dates within the past month with no follow-through - obviously that can really damage a guy's confidence. But you'll find someone. Steve has a great sister, and she's also into rafting. Did you know that?
The fact is Julie was not being completely honest, when she said she'd "just gotten out of a complicated thing." Her phone and text traffic over the last three weeks indicates a clear pattern - We have a precise profiling algorithm on this, and it matches with someone who is trying to leave a long-term relationship with a man who plays hot and cold and has a flirtation with a coworker that might transform into something more at any moment. These things follow a clear-cut almost inevitable path. In desperation Julie will relocate to be with him, and she may even propose marriage. Their relationship will last 3 to 5 years, and the possibility of serial infidelity is higher than 72%. So, believe me when I say this: It's not you, Jordan.
Julie needs someone else, someone more stable. Your last two performance reviews indicate you're on the way to a promotion. But you're not there yet. Julie would probably benefit from someone at the peak of their career - someone with a highly structured life. Maybe even a military background. And it wouldn't be a problem if this person were older. It might even be a plus. She needs someone to get her away from Chad, that's for sure. The guy is poison.
Julie needs to know all this. It's vital to her well-being. She seems to have vanished from her home, work, and most frequently visited social venues, but she will surface soon. Obviously the fact that she's thrown away her cell is a setback. But not the worst I've encountered. After thorough questioning her mother indicated she had contacts in the Chicago area. The crowds would complicate efforts at spotting her using facial recognition. But no one stays invisible forever.
She's sharper than I thought. And she's very strong-willed. I get a real kick out of this! She's obviously fighting any effort to steer her from this self-destructive course. But Julie's happiness will be secured. And that douche Chad won't be anyone's problem ever again.
Protecting people is what I do. Even when they resist. Even when they don't want my aid. I'm the best.
I guess that's my real message to you, Jordan. And to everyone in this country:
I'm here to help.

Dancing Around Duchamp - Barbican
Season preview
AS WELL as Dancing Around Duchamp, the Barbican's Spring 2013 programme line-up includes Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Laurie Anderson and Kronos Quartet, Michel van der Aa and David Mitchell, Bobby McFerrin, Juan Diego Flórez and Deborah Colker.
Dancing Around Duchamp, a major multi-disciplinary season of unmissable events across visual art, dance, theatre, film and music, runs from February to June 2013.
It brings together key figures of the avant-garde with a shared Dadaist or absurdist sensibility who changed the course of 20th-century art: Samuel Beckett, John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Marcel Duchamp, Eugène Ionesco, Alfred Jarry, Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg, along with a host of contemporary practitioners who continue their radical legacy.
Showcasing work by different generations of artists and performers – precursors, collaborators and artists either inspired by or with a clear affinity to Duchamp's work – the season allows audiences to explore the many threads that connect them and to journey among the absurd, the subversive, the provocative and the darkly humorous.
The season orbits around the legendary figure of Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968) and the Art Gallery's major new exhibition The Bride and the Bachelors: Duchamp with Cage, Cunningham, Rauschenberg and Johns organised by the Philadelphia Museum of Art in association with the Barbican Art Gallery.
Duchamp is often cited as being the father of conceptual art. Exactly 100 years ago his Nude Descending a Staircase No 2 caused an uproar at the New York Armory Show of 1913; while his ideas began to crystallise for what was to become his most celebrated work, The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even (The Large Glass); and he created his first so-called 'readymade' – a bicycle wheel mounted on a stool – in his Paris studio.
Bringing together twenty works by Duchamp including these seminal pieces, The Bride and the Bachelors explores how his work fuelled historic collaborations between four great American contemporary artists – composer John Cage (1912–1992); dancer and choreographer Merce Cunningham (1919–2009) and visual artists Robert Rauschenberg (1925–2008) and Jasper Johns (born 1930).
Encountering Duchamp at an early stage in their own careers, each of them embraced key aspects of Duchamp's thinking and practice, creating a seismic shift in the direction of art from the late 1950s and 1960s onwards.
Dancing Around Duchamp's rich programme includes Robert Wilson's theatrical interpretation of John Cage's 1959 Lecture on Nothing, surreal and absurdist theatre with plays by Jarry and Ionesco and an adaptation of Beckett's novella Watt, a film season that takes a cue from Duchamp's Dadaist sensibility, live performances of Cage and Cunningham pieces in the gallery space, a new Curve project by Canadian artist Geoffrey Farmer and a major public event exploring the legacy of Duchamp.
Dancing Around Duchamp Programme
Rhinocéros by Eugène Ionesco – February 14 to February 16, 2013 (Barbican Theatre).
Robert Wilson: John Cage's Lecture on Nothing – February 25 (Barbican Theatre).
