Stewart Lee: Scrambled Egg
Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2008
In 2009, Stewart is filming his first TV series for a decade, Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle, for BBC2. Scrambled Egg attempts to hone six twenty minute routines for TV. An audience member will chose three of six numbered eggs from an egg box, and the corresponding routines will be performed. Scrambled Egg has no through-line, no beginning, no middle, no end, no meaning and no point, other than the presentation, in random order, of three of a possible six routines nightly.
Older Comments
Andy - 06/08/2008
Well the egg thing doesn't happen as he has only done 3 of the 6 segments required. In typical Stewart Lee fashion, though, he wrings a laugh from this anyway. Throughout the show he comments on how well bits are going - always in a way to get you to laugh. The three bits he had written I hadn't seen before so may or may not have been old. They rely heavily on his way on endless repeating things until they are much funnier than the first time and for most of the hour it works well. The first bit is a throwaway bit based on the chaos that is the fringe booking system but he then moves on to the first properly written bit about a comedy album he bought in the 90s. Doesn't sound like promising material but 15ish minutes of repetition, sarcasm and slowly leading the audience to share his own conclusions are classic Lee. The rest of show continues in the same vein until the conclusion which has the audiences in stitches until the punchline. At that point the self commentary returns and he is so good at it that you are never quite sure if he put a duff punchline in so that he could comment or that his adlibbing is so effortless it just seems that way. A bit of a work in progress but well worth a trip

1 Adjustable Shelf and 1 Fixed Drawer Included with Safe
Part No. 1222
Features of the Phoenix 1222
This extremely high quality fireproof safe is ideal for the corner of a closet or hidden beneath a desk. Its attractive white finish complements any home or business and disguises a spacious interior. A one-hour rating and the ability to be bolted to the floor makes these fire proof safes a highly secure, worry-free location for documents and cash. Every Phoenix Safe is manufactured to the highest quality standards and features an all-steel construction, inside and outside. Safes you find in super-stores do not even compare to the quality you find here. These are commercial-grade safes.
1 Adjustable Shelf and 1 Fixed Drawer Included with Safe
Fire Rated 350 1-Hour for paper documents and cash.
Impact Rated. The impact test includes dropping the cabinet 30 feet onto concrete rubble, then reheating in the fire. This simulates actual conditions in a fire when the floor gives out.
Fire Rated MTC Class B 30 minutes for CDs, DVDs, USB Drives, and Memory Sticks
Features commercial-grade, all-steel construction. All bolt work fastens into steel (not plastic as you will find in "super-store" safes).
Insured, warranted, and guaranteed to protect your documents from fire, water, and smoke damage.
Safes are designed to prevent water damage caused by fire hoses and sprinklers.
A dual dial combination and key lock provides a high level of security. Both the key and combination must be used to open the safe. For secure locations, you can keep the combination locked in and merely use the key.
For added security a bolt-down kit is included to bolt the safe to the floor. No additional hardware is required.
The body is constructed from galvanized steel plate with a virtually airtight recessed curvature door, which prevents fire and smoke damage to the contents.
Two dead bolts secure these safes on the hinge side. If the hinges are ever removed, the safe still cannot be opened.
Live and Dead Bolts provide a high level of security
3-Year Parts and Labor Warranty on the safe and lock. If you have a problem contact us or Phoenix directly and we will send somebody out to take care of you at no charge.
Lifetime After-a-Fire Replacement Warranty: If your fireproof safe is ever in a fire it will be replaced at no charge.

Hello all!
ONE PIECE 474 is now available to the public. This chapter has been cleaned by WhiteBeard and type set by myself.
In all honesty, this chapter would have been released last night around or around noon today, if the following didn't occur:
[a] WhiteBeard's internet connection was acting up. So he was unable to send me the reminder of the cleaned pages last night.
[b] My parent's went out and purchased a new television. Since they have no working knowledge of electronics or technology in general, I had to set everything up while they "supervised".
Anyways, enjoy.
Edit: Well no one is perfect, which that includes me somehow. I forget to give credit to those who deserved it.

New York ranks among the most expensive states for energy bills, a new report from WalletHub shows.
WalletHub—a social website launched by Evolution Finance that offers financial tools and information for consumers and small-business owners—ranked New York 38th among the 50 states and District of Columbia based on energy efficiency. The report, 2014's Most & Least Energy-Expensive States, looked at six key metrics, including electricity cost, consumption, natural gas prices and fuel prices.
New Yorkers average $365 a month in energy costs, including electricity costs of $126 and natural gas costs of $80. Drivers pay some $160 a month for gasoline, on average.
The least expensive state for energy costs is Colorado, where residents average $301 total, including $83 a month in electricity costs. The most expensive state is Hawaii at $451 a month in energy costs. Hawaiians average $209 monthly in electricity costs and $163 for gasoline.
North Dakota residents pay the least for electricity, while Hawaiians pay the most. The lowest natural gas prices are in Colorado and the lowest fuel prices can be found in South Carolina.
WalletHub notes that in the U.S. some 7.1 percent of the average consumer's total income is spent on energy costs.

If the only way you measure energy cost is by using energy bills then you don't see a lot of things. You don't see fossil fuels warming up the planet. You don't see that using more renewable energy (wind and solar) for more of our electricity will increasingly lower your bills and do less harm to our environment.
You don't see that there are other ways to get around Rochester besides driving gas guzzlers, like active transportation (walking and bicycling), or moving out of the suburbs and near places you need to go. You don't see that there are many grants around to lower your energy cost and improve energy efficiency. You don't see energy conservation as a real option.
All you see from using energy bills for your metric is that business as usual is very expensive—even if you don't care about addressing climate change.
If all you use for your use of energy is your energy bills, you will never consider alternatives to fossil fuel burning energy sources and continue railing against anything else. Only using energy bills as a measure how we use energy on this planet is going to make us unfit to live on it.

It's Karzai Day at the White House.
Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai meets with President Obama on Friday as the two leader discuss plans to withdraw U.S. troops from the Afghan war in 2014.
"The President looks forward to welcoming the Afghan delegation to Washington, and discussing our continued transition in Afghanistan, and our shared vision of an enduring partnership between the United States and Afghanistan," said the White House.
Obama, Karzai and their aides have a series of meetings in the morning, followed by lunch.
The two presidents have a joint news conference scheduled for 1:15 p.m.
One question: The U.S. presence in Afghanistan after the end of combat operations in 2014.
Some U.S. commanders have proposed keeping no more than 10,000 troops in Afghanistan after 2014, to keep battling terrorists and training Afghan forces. There are currently 66,000 troops in Afghanistan.
Some Obama aides want a faster draw down and a much smaller U.S. presence at the end -- some have even discussed a "zero option."
Karzai, who wants to keep a fairly large residual force in Afghanistan, has spent most of the week in Washington, D.C. He has met with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta.
Obama is not expected to announce any decisions Friday on troop levels.
This will be the first time the two leaders have spoken since a Sept. 21 video conference.
There have been tensions between the Obama and Karzai governments. Karzai has criticized the American military over civilian deaths in the war; Obama and aides have complained of corruption within Karzai's government.

Sodium lactate is manufactured by fermenting a sugar source, such as sugar cane, potatoes, beets, or corn starch. This produces lactic acid, which is then neutralized to create sodium lactate. Although lactic acid can be produced from dairy sources, such as cow's milk, this is rare in commercial manufacturing. In any event, sodium lactate produced from dairy sources is normally restricted to use in dairy products, such as cream cheese or ice-cream. Accordingly, commercially-produced sodium lactate is generally safe for use by individuals with a milk or dairy allergy.
Sodium lactate is prized by skin care manufacturers for its hydrating properties. Clinical studies have demonstrated that sodium lactate has the ability to increase the moisture content of the skin by up to 90%, making it one of the most powerful humectants on the market. Well-hydrated skin is flexible and pliable. This prevents sagging and stretching, which can age the skin by contributing to the formation of wrinkles.
Sodium lactate increases the moisture content of skin and hair even when it is then rinsed off. This makes sodium lactate a useful ingredient in skin washes and toners, which are designed to be used as intermediate steps in a beauty routine. Sodium lactate is also effective as a hydrating ingredient in shampoos.
When used alongside alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) in skin care products, sodium lactate increases their efficacy, providing optimal results for the consumer. AHAs are exfoliating ingredients that remove the dead cells from the surface layer of the skin (stratum corneum) and promote the generation of new cells in the lower layers of the dermis. This helps to promote a more youthful complexion.
Sodium lactate is often use by bulk manufacturers of solid soap because it helps soap to dry more quickly into bars. This means that production time is reduced, enabling the number of units manufactured to be increased. Sodium lactate also has a hydrating effect on the skin when the soap is used by the consumer.
Sodium lactate can also be used in skin care products as a buffer, which means that it helps to balance the PH of a product. This increases the efficacy and shelf-life of the product.
Sodium lactate plays an important role in the packing of meat products due to its ability to increase the moisture content of cells and its antimicrobial action. By assisting meat products to hold moisture, sodium lactate boosts their aesthetic appearance. In addition, it acts as a preservative, prolonging the shelf-life of meat products due to its ability to prevent bacteria and fungi from growing. Sodium lactate is also used as a preservative in other food products, including canned fruit, fruit jellies, soups, confectionary, ice-cream, and cheese. When used as a food additive, sodium lactate is known as E325.
Sodium lactate can be used by medical professionals to treat mild to moderate cases of acidosis in patients who are unable to eat or drink. Acidosis occurs when the acidity of the blood or body tissue is increased, usually through the loss of bicarbonate. Intravenous administration of diluted sodium lactate restores the acid balance within the blood and body. Sodium lactate can also be used in a hospital setting to treat overdoses of certain types of drugs. Sodium lactate speeds up the process by which the overdosed medication is removed from the body. Sodium lactate should not be administered to patients with liver or kidney problems because it can lead to swelling or edema caused by sodium retention.
Sodium lactate is also one of the components found in Lactated Ringer's solution, a liquid comprised of water and electrolytes that is given to patients suffering from illness or injury. This solution mimics blood plasma and helps to rehydrate patients who are struggling to eat and drink.
Because it is used as a food additive, sodium lactate has been rigorously tested to ensure that it meets the stringent standards laid down by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Sodium lactate is generally well tolerated by most individuals when consumed. When applied topically, it can cause irritation in individuals with extremely sensitive skin. Any reported side effects resulting from topical application of sodium lactate are in studies which used much higher concentrations than are found in commercially-produced skin care products.

|The Green Desert
|"When you fly over the boreal forest, it appears to be a very wet ecosystemlush and green," observes Forrest G. Hall, physicist and BOREAS project scientist at NASAs Goddard Space Flight Center. "You see so many lakes and fens, and in the spring the ground is covered by melting snow. But the atmosphere is very dry, more closely resembling that over a desert than you would expect over a wet forested region."
|The lower atmosphere is so dry, in fact, the BOREAS team nicknamed
the boreal ecosystem "the green desert." Afternoon humidity
in May is often as low as 30 percent there, whereas tropical forests
have an average afternoon humidity of 60 percent. According to Betts,
the atmospheric boundary layers that form over the boreal forest
often resemble those boundary layers that form over the southwestern
United States. They can become very deep (up to 8000 feet, or 2500
meters) and very turbulent. ["Boundary layer" refers to the
part of the atmosphere closest to Earths surface; it is typically
very turbulent as large amounts of heat, aerosol particles, and trace
gases are mixing in it and passing through it.]
"There is very little evaporation (in the boreal ecosystem) in
the spring and summer," Betts observes. "An enormous amount
of sunlight is being absorbed by the forest canopy and then emitted back
into the atmosphere as heat. Consequently, it can get very warm
thereup into the 80s Fahrenheit (30 Celsius) in early
|But, ironically, while the boreal air in springtime is hot and dry like a deserts, the ground under the coniferous forests is
still frozen, a foot or two down. So, while the forest canopy is
absorbing tremendous amounts of sunlight and storing it as heat, water cannot evaporate from the
trees as long as their roots are frozen (Betts et
al., 1999). Likewise, while the lakes in the region have all melted in
late spring, they are still very coldtoo cold to release much
Typically, evaporation, or the release of water vapor from the
surface up into the atmosphere, provides forest ecosystems with a means
of cooling off or regulating temperature. As sunlight warms the
surface, evaporation from bodies of water and from the water vapor
released by trees cools the surface. But in the boreal ecosystem, where
very little evaporation occurs in the spring, most of the suns
energy is absorbed and re-radiated back up into the lower atmosphere as
heat; hence the deep, dry and very turbulent boundary layer.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Drug information provided by: Micromedex
Ethionamide is used with other medicines to treat tuberculosis (TB). Ethionamide may also be used for other problems as determined by your doctor.
To help clear up your tuberculosis (TB) completely, you must keep taking this medicine for the full time of treatment, even if you begin to feel better. This is very important. It is also important that you do not miss any doses.
Ethionamide is available only with your doctor's prescription.
Once a medicine has been approved for marketing for a certain use, experience may show that it is also useful for other medical problems. Although these uses are not included in product labeling, ethionamide is used in certain patients with the following medical conditions:
This product is available in the following dosage forms:
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this medicine, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Although there is no specific information comparing use of ethionamide in children with use in other age groups, this medicine is not expected to cause different side effects or problems in children than it does in adults.
Many medicines have not been studied specifically in older people. Therefore, it may not be known whether they work exactly the same way they do in younger adults or if they cause different side effects or problems in older people. There is no specific information comparing use of ethionamide in the elderly with use in other age groups.
There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. When you are taking this medicine, it is especially important that your healthcare professional know if you are taking any of the medicines listed below. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.
Using this medicine with any of the following medicines is usually not recommended, but may be required in some cases. If both medicines are prescribed together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines.
Using this medicine with any of the following medicines may cause an increased risk of certain side effects, but using both drugs may be the best treatment for you. If both medicines are prescribed together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines.
Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of this medicine. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
Ethionamide may be taken with or after meals if it upsets your stomach.
To help clear up your tuberculosis (TB) completely, it is very important that you keep taking this medicine for the full time of treatment, even if you begin to feel better after a few weeks. You may have to take it every day for 1 to 2 years or more. It is important that you do not miss any doses.
Your doctor may also want you to take pyridoxine (e.g., Hexa-Betalin; vitamin B 6) every day to help prevent or lessen some of the side effects of ethionamide. If so, it is very important to take pyridoxine every day along with this medicine. Do not miss any doses.
The dose of this medicine will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of this medicine. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.
The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.
If you miss a dose of this medicine, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double doses.
Store the medicine in a closed container at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and direct light. Keep from freezing.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Do not keep outdated medicine or medicine no longer needed.
If your symptoms do not improve within 2 to 3 weeks, or if they become worse, check with your doctor.
It is very important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits. Also, check with your doctor immediately if blurred vision or any loss of vision, with or without eye pain, occurs during treatment. Your doctor may want you to have your eyes checked by an ophthalmologist (eye doctor).
Since this medicine may cause blurred vision or loss of vision, make sure you know how you react to this medicine before you drive, use machines, or do anything else that could be dangerous if you are not able to see well.
If this medicine causes clumsiness; unsteadiness; or numbness, tingling, burning, or pain in the hands and feet, check with your doctor immediately. These may be early warning symptoms of more serious nerve problems that could develop later.
Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.
Check with your doctor immediately if any of the following side effects occur:
Some side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. Also, your health care professional may be able to tell you about ways to prevent or reduce some of these side effects.

Other side effects not listed may also occur in some patients. If you notice any other effects, check with your healthcare professional.

The journey continues through the streets of Paris, along the Thames River and into the sky over Ireland for a view unlike any other.

View the Access Guide
We are committed to providing a safe and enjoyable environment to all our guests. We have two programs at Busch Gardens which are in place to assist guests with disabilities. Our Ride Accessibility Program matches the individual abilities of our guests to the requirements of each ride. We also have our Special Access Policy which will assist guests in enjoying attractions throughout the park as some of our queue lines are not accessible to mobility-impaired guests or those who are not able to wait in line. Both are described below.
Ride Accessibility Program (RAP): Is designed to allow guests to participate in the enjoyment of our parks as much as possible. The program was developed based on the requirements of the manufacturer and by analyzing the physical and mental attributes required to safely ride each ride. Each attraction was evaluated for the criteria necessary for an individual to ride safely. It is our policy to allow anyone to ride who meets all these requirements and is not a hazard to himself or others.
Special Access: Is designed to allow our guests to enjoy our attractions without waiting in queue lines due to certain disabilities. Guests will be placed in a Virtual Queue which equals the estimated wait time at that respective location. Guests have the ability to enjoy other attractions throughout the park during this time.

|In response to Re: Problem with Kohler Welworth Lite Toilet Flappers
Lavelle Korky makes flappers for Kohler toilets. They make two grades black and red. Their best one is a red color.
: I'm having problems with the Kohler Welworth Lite Toilet Flappers. I have installed many of these toilets in my apartment buildings and have had problems with many of the flappers. The rubber sealet is made from a compound that is not suited for this application. After a month or so the rubber tends to stick to the plastic below and in some cases breaks apart, also, occationaly sticks so hard to the bottom ring that tenents break the flush handle because the rubber does not release. The rubber can also warp so much that in many occations I'm getting major leaks underneath the seal. I used to have a lot of respect for Kohler products but after using these toilets and incountering all these problems, I'm beggining to change my mind. I wonder if the engineer who designed this rubber seal- did any long term testing for the intended use of the rubber. A simple change from this rubber to silicon would save a lot of the customers hours of headache.

Crisis sometimes tosses up a leader.
Like when Islamist rebels kidnapped hundreds of Nigerian schoolgirls in May, spreading furor quickly around the globe. And neighboring countries fretted that violence from the perpetrators, Nigeria's Boko Haram Islamist group, would cross borders.
Into the void stepped Ghana's President John Dramani Mahama, who took the initiative to convene an emergency meeting of regional security officials in May to better coordinate the response. Stepping up's starting to look like a pattern.
Until a few years ago Mahama was a just a young politician from the country's sparsely populated north and little known outside of Ghanaian political circles. But in 2014, people far beyond this West Africa nation of 25 million are starting to learn his name as he takes on more and more leadership responsibility in the region. Come August, the 55-year-old leader will be one of the stars at President Barack Obama's U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit, given Ghana's leading role in every major American development program at work in Africa.
It's not just the Boko Haram crisis. Mahama's government just hosted health ministers from 11 African countries to try address the region's spreading Ebola outbreak. And Mahama recently took over as head of the Economic Community of West African States, a body pushing regional integration, and of the African Union's trade committee, raising both his profile and that of Ghana. Ghana is one of the few African countries that counts as a stable democracy, boosting Mahama's legitimacy and authority.
"Convening power is really important. If you can invite people and they come, they can always discover some possible solution going forward," says Ambassador Mary Carlin Yates, the United States' top diplomat in Accra from 2002 to 2005. "I think that's what Ghana has as a nation," Yates says, given its twenty-year record of democratic governance and peaceful transfers of power — a rare feat in Africa.
International fame aside, Mahama faces a much more complicated and difficult challenge to achieve his domestic goal of middle-class prosperity for Ghanaians, and staying in office long enough to see it through.
He started off as an accidental president, ascending from the vice presidency when his predecessor, John Atta Mills, died in 2012. He then won his own election in December of that year in a tightly contested race.
Mahama was born in 1958, just a year after Ghana's founding as the first black African country to gain independence from colonial rule. He gained fame, Obama-like, as an accomplished writer, communicator and diplomat, before he won election in 1996 to his father's former seat in parliament. It takes but a few minutes listening to his sonorous voice reading his celebrated 2012 memoir to appreciate his flair for words.
"For many individuals there is a moment that stands out pivotal to the awakening of their consciousness," Mahama writes. "Ghana's descent into 'the lost decades' began with such a moment, with the coup d'état that unseated our first president, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah … it's clear to me that this moment marked the awakening of my consciousness."
Little in his background suggests he's the one to spur Ghana's private-sector economic development, although he did work on Ghana's domestic economy in parliament in the 1990s.
His 2014 state of the nation speech in February spoke of Ghana's prospects, especially those provided by an offshore oil boom.
"These new opportunities will enable us to transform ourselves from a lower middle-income, import-dependent, developing country to a proud and robust, self-sufficient middle-income nation," he said.
It's a reasonable dream, given Ghana's resources, and yet soaring expectations for the country's oil windfall and a less-than-stellar economy have left the Ghanaian public feeling sour. A new protest movement — #occupyFlagstaffHouse (a reference to Ghana's equivalent of the White House) — has rallied disgruntled Ghanaians who are unhappy about rising costs and inflation. Soaring public debt and drops in commodity prices like gold and cocoa have slowed growth. Not exactly what people expected when the Jubilee oil field off Ghana's Atlantic coast was discovered in 2007, bursting with more than 1.5 billion barrels worth of oil reserves.
The slowdown, however, should be temporary, as oil production starts to reach capacity in the second half of the decade. Mahama is no doubt hoping that happens by 2016, when he's up for what looks like a close re-election contest.
Even if oil revenues increase, he'll face continuing questions about where the money goes and why it's not trickling down faster.
"Ghana has not been particularly successful in accounting for public revenues" from its growing oil production, writes Albert Kan-Dapaah, the co-founder of the Accra think tank Fiscal Transparency and Accountability Africa, in an email. This despite the passage of the Petroleum Revenue Management Act in 2011 that requires a full accounting.
Still, if domestic political or economic concerns are weighing Mahama down, he's not showing it. With regional heavyweight Nigeria more or less MIA these days — distracted by its own internal challenges — Mahama seems happy to assume the role of go-to West African leader. Further afield, the president, who studied in Moscow during the Soviet days and has also spent time in Japan, is openly embracing China, the East and developing world investors, in addition to the West.
His international stature doesn't appear so far to have helped him much politically at home, but he's got a few years to turn that around.

23-year-old Windsor man killed in Friday morning rollover crash
July 14, 2014
A 23-year-old Windsor man died early Friday morning in a single-vehicle rollover crash.
Aaron Gould was driving a pickup south on Colo. 257 about 3 a.m. Friday morning, according to a news release from the Weld County Coroner.
Gould lost control of the pickup near the intersection of Weld County Road 72, according to the release.
Gould was not wearing a seatbelt and was ejected from the vehicle when it rolled, according to the release. He was pronounced dead at the scene about 3:15 a.m.
Lt. Rick Klimek of the Windsor Police Department said an official cause of the crash has not yet been determined, but he said neither alcohol nor distracted driving are suspected.
Weld County Coroner Mark Ward indicated via email that a toxicology screening could take weeks to complete, and Klimek said investigators are doing a mechanical inspection of the pickup to determine if the vehicle itself may have caused the crash.
However, Klimek said investigators do not believe the crash is suspicious. Instead, he said, it's believed Gould was tired and over-corrected. He also said investigators believe the pickup landed on Gould after he was ejected from the vehicle.
Gould graduated from the University of Northern Colorado in May with a degree in sports and exercise science. He was a 2008 graduate of Windsor High School.
Gould is the 20th person to die on Weld County roads this year. Through July 11 of last year, 15 people had died.

Lord Jonathan Sacks on Conversation as a Kind of Prayer
On October 15-17, the Center of Theological Inquiry in Princeton, New Jersey held an international symposium to foster interdisciplinary dialogue on spiritual progress. The forum was an invitation-only event that brought the insights of major thinkers, which included Lord Jonathan Sacks, Marilynne Robinson, and Robert Bellah. The forum was chaired by Will Storrar and attended by our very own, Krista Tippett, at Benjamin Franklin Hall of the American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia.
In presenting his work on The Great Partnership, the Chief Rabbi (who was featured in our show "The Dignity of Difference") spoke about the evolving role of neuroscience in our understanding of ritual. He says that science can tell us that the plasticity of our brains should lead us into a whole new study about "deep practice" and developing attributes such as gratitude:
The complete audio of this symposium will appear on the Center of Theological Inquiry's website later this year.

He wants to run it all himself
Prime Minister Stephen Harper flatly refused to meet with the provincial premiers in Halifax last week.
They tried repeatedly without success to get him to meet them.
They wanted to talk to him about the state of the global economy and its effects on Canadians, but Harper was not interested.
He goes to Europe to talk world economics, but provincial premiers? Forget about it!
Harper was willing to meet provincial premiers one at a time, as he did Jean Charest last month.
But meet all of them together at one time, at a federal-provincial conference as they wanted? No way!
It's been three years in a row that he has snubbed them, refusing to attend federal-provincial conferences.
He figures he's the boss and doesn't need any advice from provincial premiers.
And there's no way he wants to hear them whine at his government for more money. Last month he cut $36 billion from federal health payments to provinces, something they would be bound to complain about.
He remembers the good old days of federal-provincial conferences when provincial premiers ganged up against the federal government, and he doesn't want that happening to him.
It doesn't matter how many times they tell him that Canada is a federation and the federal government should accept the help of the premiers in the development of national policies.
It was not interesting either for Trudeau, Mulroney, Chretien to suffer slings and arrows at provincial conferences but they accepted it as their duty as prime minister in a country that calls itself a federation.
Harper prefers to govern in a unilateral manner, as if he were alone.
So the premiers asked him if he wouldn't meet them this past month, might he meet them in November.
Harper simply sent a messenger who told them "no" without any explanation.

So what is the deal with D.Gray man? Why do the Anime stops at 103 while the manga seems to keep on going. And where is it that the manga starts again after the anime stopped?
Just watched the anime and thought that was it, but it seems like the manga is still going, so would be nice with some info.

DEFINITION: Time savings for redeployment applies only to the MORE Grant program. The COPS MORE Program goal is to reduce the amount of paperwork and administrative tasks performed by veteran sworn trained officers so that they can spend more time on the street and in America's neighborhoods. Grants awarded under MORE are restricted to the purchase of technology, equipment, overtime for officers (MORE '95 only), and the hiring of civilian support resources that will redeploy officers, or full-time equivalents (FTEs), and enhance community policing activities within the agency's jurisdiction.
COMPLIANCE: Once a MORE grant is fully operational, grantees must demonstrate, through a tracking plan, that the time savings achieved through grant funding has allowed them to deploy officers into community policing activities. The level of time savings achieved, and resulting deployment of officers into community policing activities, should be at a level consistent with the required level of full-time equivalents reflected in the grant award.

Cate Blanchett Gossip
Cate Blanchett gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Cate Blanchett & Solange
Not shocking at all – they loved Todd Haynes's Carol in Cannes. Cate Blanchett? Marvelous, as usual. And Rooney Mara's performance is being called the best of her career too. They're saying they could both be nominated for Oscars. Cate's becoming like Meryl now. Whatever she does will earn her a nomination. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
As Sarah wrote the other day, one of most highly anticipated films premiering in Cannes is Todd Haynes's Carol starring Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara. Read Full Intro
Loving Cinderella
Splash News, Don Arnold/ Getty Images
Since I've been reviewing movies on LaineyGossip, I don't think you guys have seen me enthusiastically like a movie, so for the first time, here is me enthusiastically liking a movie, no complaints. Cinderella is adorable, a genuinely enjoyable and entertaining family film. The only negative thing I have to say about it is that it isn't as empowering as the Drew Barrymore classic, Ever After. Full Story
Cate Blanchett: Black Velvet at the Oscars
Steve Granitz/ Lester Cohen/ Jason Merritt/ Jeff Vespa/ Kevork Djansezian/ Kevin Winter/ Getty Images
I come down on the side of those who could have done without the necklace, because she doesn't need it, but man, she doesn't need much. We need her desperately, is the thing, to serve up equal amounts of cool chill, a sort of yes-glamour-but-let's-not-get-too-excited-about-it, and a sort of benevolent warmth that we're sure as hell not getting from Reese Witherspoon or Jennifer Aniston. Full Story
Cate Blanchett Spirit Awards 2015
Jason Merritt/ Steve Granitz/ Jeff Vespa/ Getty Images
Being an Oscar winner means you get to go on a one-year victory tour at various ceremonies, with none of the awards season pressure and all of the schmoozing fun. Can you imagine that joy? This is Cate Blanchett. This time, she's back at the Independent Spirit Awards as a returning champion. Full Story
Cinderella steeze
Cinderella is screening at the Berlinale, and the cast appeared at a photocall and press conference today in Berlin to begin promoting the movie. (There's also a new trailer featuring some serious horse porn, if you like big Baroque horses, like me. Full Story
Saving Cate for the Oscars
Mark Metcalfe/ Don Arnold/ Getty Images
Cate Blanchett stepped out in pink silk last night with black sleeves and hem at the AACTA Awards in Sydney. On anyone else… this would be a mess. Easily. Like on someone with sh-tty posture? And a lot less poise? It's not my favourite Cate fashion moment. But I can appreciate that she can elevate a piece that on anyone else would look suuuuuuper cheap. Full Story
Cinderella has a Robb Stark problem
The first trailer for Kenneth Branagh's live-action Cinderella halfway sold me on the project. It doesn't look terrible, and some of the fantasy elements look cool, even if I will always and forever think that Cinderella's should-be iconic ball gown is a mall prom dress nightmare (sorry, Lainey, the shoes don't look much better). Full Story
Christian Bale looks hot for Malick
A trailer for Terrence Malick's Knight Of Cups was released yesterday. It's expected to be screened in competition at the Berlin Film Festival in February. Knight Of Cups was filmed concurrently with another Malick project – the one with Ryan Gosling, Michael Fassbender, and Rooney Mara about love and the Austin music scene. Full Story
Cinderella doesn't look terrible
The fairytale trend in movies has been more miss than hit, by a pretty wide margin. Maleficent was okay, but if it weren't for Dame Angelina, it would not have been even half so tolerable, but there hasn't been a really great—or even just whole-heartedly good—fairytale movie yet. Full Story
How To Train Your Dragon Love Actually

Cate Blanchett in Givenchy. And only Cate Blanchett can manage to not look stupid standing next to a plastic dragon on the carpet in Cannes tonight. You know who else caught my eye though? Mia from Love Actually, Heike Makatsch. Seriously, I was juuuuust looking at photos of her in the agency database when Dylan messaged me from Cannes. Full Story

*Your pronation type is determined by the natural motion your feet apply throughout your running gait. When you pronate your foot rolls from either the outer edge, inner edge or not at all. If your foot rolls to the outer edge when you run, you are an underpronator, if it rolls to the inner edge you are a overpronator and if your foot doesn't roll at all you are a neutral or stable runner.

Love my sneakers!
"I love these sneakers! The colors are bright on a nice base of gray so they won't look dirty fast. The sneakers feel so light on, yet I think they will provide good cushioning and support for running. I have always worn NB since I have narrow feet and they have never disappointed me with quality. Good job NB providing a shoe that helps my ever aging self at least look hip in the sneaker department :)"

"The shoe's sole has grippy rubber with crazy shapes that hold onto anything six ways to Sunday. It's a little small as a 8.5 felt snug on me when I usually wear 8.5/9. Still, I've never had an issue with a New Balance shoe, so you may want to size up."

Very Happy
"I have been a New Balance girl for quite a while and never had a pair that I didn't like. I wear these shoes everyday to work and I run little. They are very light, comfy and breathable. I get lots of compliments on the colors too. I usually get a 9 1/2, but that wasn't an option so I went with the 10. I'm glad I did. I would recommend these shoes for anybody with relatively wide feet."

Nation Radio - February 18, 2012
February 19 2012 01:34PM
Playoffs are a distant hope for the third straight season in Edmonton this year. The focus now shifts to the pending trade deadline, the kids and, eventually, the draft. This week Allan visits with California hockey fan and writer Earl Sleek, welcomes various voices familiar with both pro and amateur Edmonton prospects and shares some reader/listener thoughts on the rapidly approaching deadline.
This is Nation Radio.
The first segment features the Battle of Cali's Earl Sleek. Earl and Allan talk all things Ducks and Kings.
Lisa McRitchie writes for Kukla's Korner and the Copper & Blue, tracking the oil youngsters. She discusses Griffin Renhart, Matt Dumba, Tyler Pitlick and the adjustment the necessary adjustment to pro hockey life prospects must go through.
Oil Kings commenator Kent Simpson joins Allan in segment three. They talk the Oil Kings (naturally) and Tom Renney
Oklahoma Barons play-by-play man Jim Byers shares some thoughts on the loss of Ryan O'Marra and Gilbert Brule, as well as the return of Linus Omark.
The fifth segment features Krueger's post game comments.
Finally, Allan shares and discusses some trade deadline emails.
The whole enchilada.
February 19 2012, 02:01PM
Damn you Terry Jones....
This guy is no longer reliable.
Terry Jones actually pm'd me, we had a mixup but he was available. He'll be on next week.
Damn. Not much this week for those of us in Calgary, which is odd since it's been a rather interesting week!
Nation Radio is speechless on the Flames.
: )
If the Oilers are not in the bubble club for the playoffs next year, they might be hitting the panic button. Rebuilds have a timeline. If they miss next year that is 7 years, year after is 8 years.
Could be a failed rebuild, even with RNH and Hall...
My goal for this week is to have 2 guests from EDM, and then 1 from CAL, VAN, TOR and WPG. So lots for everyone.
Eberle and Hall are RFA's after next season, and RNH the season after. All three are great players who are going to command big pay raises when that happens. They're not making peanuts now, but they're all going to be $$$$$ after.
What this means is that Edmonton needs to do well next season. That's the last season they're going to have all these guys for cheap and have cap space to spend on secondary players. If they can't make a good run next year, Hall and Eberle are unlikely to sign at a home-town discount. Why would they? While it is going to get harder to field a good team behind those guys, they're also going to get better as they mature, but still, can one line carry a team? (See Calgary right now for what that looks like, and imagine anyone less than a red-hot Kipper in net!)
Exactly Bel
The Oilers have to make significant trades by the deadline or the off-season at the latest because the clock is ticking.
This off-season to me is the first ice patch, as they drive along in their rebuild. A failure to improve in performance next season is a sign they may be headed right for the ditch and flipping the car to join the Thrashers / Islanders.
Oiler fans are in this wonderful dreamy little bubble of cheap RFA contracts, tons of prospects and shopping through the top of the draft list. They have not even begun to consider the challenges of long term Cap management, tough trades, going for UFAs and getting committed player leadership.
Just making the playoffs is extremely tough, never mind holding a elite top team together. They got their top player in RNH but so did the Jackets with Nash, look where they are today. Is that the Oilers 10 years out?
One playoff appearance in 12 years for Columbus and they have had 9 top ten draft picks, well it will be ten if you include this year.
Rebuilds from scratch are high risk.

There are a couple of big items on my blog to-do list. One of them is to write an essay about how hard it is to write software. Another to-do item is to write a review of Scott Rosenberg's remarkable 2008 book Dreaming In Code.
Until I get around to these two tasks, you will find Kyle Wilson's 2007 essay "Software Is Hard" to be a good start on both topics. Wilson is a software engineer in the game industry; and there is no harder toil than programming in the game business.
The blogosphere is dominated by the opinions of software developers who build browser-based software. Certainly this is important and valuable software, but it remains just one of the many variants. Wilson and Rosenberg examine the creation of game engine and email server software, respectively. Both of these categories of software are qualitatively, quantitatively, and morally different from iPhone apps or e-commerce.
The recent successes of agile methods have led many to see them as a universal panacea. Because a new social networking website application can be built very fast using Scrum and TDD, many developers believe that all software can be built just as fast with these agile methods. But the demands of military or medical or game software are very different from those of tweeting or shopping.
There is no doubt that agile development is a significant step forward in creating software. It is certain that agile thinking will eventually permeate every aspect of software development. But it would be a mistake to think that every variety of software construction will be affected equally or that there will be any semblance of uniformity of agile practice across the full range of programming. It's easy to extrapolate universal truths about software development by examining your own software development work experience, but this is a sinister trap. The world of software development is far broader than most people realize.
Even though Fred Brooks' famous aphorism that there is "no silver bullet" in software is quoted frequently by agilists, they use it only as a weapon against diehard supporters of obsolete waterfall development methods. They often don't see that it applies to agile methods just as profoundly.
