FART YOU MUHYIDDIN...Racist DPM On Earth!
Muhyiddin Yassin, Malaysian deputy chairman, has lately been playing the racist card to the hilt. In his speech at the opening of the Seri Gading Umno division meeting in early August, Muhyiddin, according to The Star (11 August 2009) made some comments about Anwar Ibrahim.
The Star reported that "Anwar's lawyer later had submitted a notice demanding Muhyiddin and Utusan Malaysia, which printed the report, to issue an apology or face a RM100mil libel suit from the former deputy prime minister."
The Star also reported on the same day that Muhyiddin had the day before warned that there are certain individuals among the Malays who would sacrifice their own race for political expediency.
The leading headline on page N8 of the English language daily was: "DPM slams Malay traitors".
The paper reported that "Muhyiddin, who is also Umno deputy president, said these people would stoop to any level in trying to achieve their political ambitions".
"He said, in the 52 years Umno had been leading the nation, the party had never forsaken the interest of the Malays but in fact had always and would continue to champion them," the report added.
"It has become my responsibility," Muhyiddin was reported to have said, "to oppose these individuals who are only after their own political interests at all costs.
"I cannot imagine how our country will be if we (Barisan Nasional and Umno) are no longer in power after the general election," he said when opening the 11th annual general meeting in Kuala Lumpur of Perdasama, an association for Malay businessmen.
The Star report continued: "Muhyiddin added that what was also more worrying now was that there are some non-Malay quarters who were openly questioning Malay rights and privileges.
"And what was even more disappointing," he said, "was that there was a small number of Malays who were acting as a thorn in the flesh".
According to The Star report, "He urged the Malays to be firmly united against these traitors as they were obstacles to the progress of the Malays."
Well, well, what is one to make of Muhyiddin's outburst against "Malay traitors"? And, equally important, why the outburst now?
Is his frankly racist outburst an indication that Umno is desperately trying to regain Malay support, whatever the means, perhaps encouraged by Umno's good result at the recent Manek Urai by-election, although it didn't win?
Or does it tell us something more about Umno in general and Muhyiddin in particular perhaps — that behind the facade of current Umno unity and purposefulness, there are undercurrents of discord fuelled by certain unhappiness and rival ambitions?
Or that perhaps Muhyiddin and his people within Umno are positioning themselves for the post-Najib era? Maybe like what Najib and his people have done successfully to curtail and shorten Abdullah Ahmad Badawi's term of power, there are already plans afoot by some people within Umno to do likewise against the Najib regime?
Perhaps all the above speculation doesn't really hold much water? But then how does one explain Muhyiddin's immature and even irresponsible racist attack?
Has he become merely Najib's hatchet man then, content to do Umno's dirty political street-fighting, some senior figure sad and tragic who reminds us of the late Ghafar Baba, who was ever ready and willing to do Dr Mahathir's bidding so long as he was fed a constant diet of political flattery?
Has Najib Razak, as prime minister, Umno president and Barisan Nasional head, approved of Muhyiddin's outburst? After all he has been rather busy of late in telling the police to go after some Opposition figures for alleged sedition.
Or is it the same old, tired, sad tale of double standards?
Talking about "Malay traitors", do shallow and narrow Umno politicians like Muhyiddin know enough of Umno history to touch on this subject? Is he that ignorant of Umno's early history not to know that the late Datuk Onn Jaafar, the founder-president of Umno, did a very far-sighted and courageous thing that at the time caused him to be branded by some in Umno as a "traitor to the Malays"?
Just about three years after the establishment of Umno in 1946, Onn and some other Umno leaders started to question the narrow Malay nationalism and racial exclusiveness of the party. Onn was desirous of a Malayan nationalism derived from the various races of the country.
He didn't stop with wanting non-Malays to become associate members of Umno. At the 12th General Assembly of Umno in Butterworth on 27 August 1949, in his presidential speech he said that the Malays must accept as nationals peoples of other races who were prepared to give their all to Malaya.
A single nationality was essential if "we are to achieve self-government and independence in Malaya", he said.
It was Onn again who worked hard and long, motivated by his deep beliefs and principles to have Umno accept the controversial citizenship recommendations of the Communities Liaison Committee. He urged that they be adopted at an emergency session of the Umno General Assembly which was held in Kuala Lumpur during the second week of June 1950. Many of the delegates were hostile to the proposals, and some even branded Onn a "traitor to the Malays and the country".
But Onn was undeterred. To force the issue, he resigned as Umno president; he also announced the resignation of the entire executive council. He was persuaded to withdraw his resignation, however.
A month later, the Umno Assembly at its annual session in Kuala Kangsar re-elected Onn as Umno president by 66 votes to 3; it also approved the citizenship proposals which it had rejected earlier.
Again this man of political courage and vision did not stop there. Driven by his deep sense of Malayan nationalism rather than narrow Malay chauvinism, Onn then advocated that Umno should open its doors to non-Malays with equal membership rights and privileges. He maintained that Umno had to be turned into a national organisation and not remain merely as an organisation of the Malays.
He reported in the then The Straits Times of 21 November 1950 as saying, "Merely opening the door to associate members is not enough. This must be a national body and non-Malay members should be offered all the rights and privileges of the organisation." Onn in fact wanted Umno to be renamed as the United Malayan National Organisation.
Alas, he was about 60 years ahead of his time. He realised that his proposals faced substantial opposition from the divisions, but he went ahead with his plans. He resigned from Umno on 1 July 1951. On 26 August, he tendered formally his resignation from Umno at the party's general assembly. And so it was that the founding father of Umno and Umno parted ways.
Compared to Umno leaders of today, Onn was a great visionary. He paid a heavy price for his political convictions and courage. As a matter of fact, he was the First Malayan, and the First Malaysian.
Fan Yew Teng takes issue with Muhyiddin's recent outburst; what a stark contrast to Umno founder Onn Jaafar, who was more inclusive and open, he observes. Indeed, Fathol Zaman Bukhari recalls with nostalgia an era when things were so different.
Petty politicians like Muhyiddin Yassin and most of today's Umno leaders are political midgets compared to the political giant that was Onn, who dared to transcend the narrow confines of racial politics to try and forge a multiracial nation.
Datuk Onn, father of Tun Hussein Onn, Malaysia's third prime minister, and grandfather of Hishamuddin Hussein, home minister and Umno vice president, far from betraying the Malays, dreamed of a just and equal society for all regardless of race, culture and religion.
Doesn't Hishamuddin agree? Or is he satisfied with a subservient and opportunistic role as mere cheerleader for the hateful and shameless garbage churned out by the likes of Muhyiddin about racial "traitors"?
Whether Najib frowns on the immature hysteria of Muhyiddin or not, he must surely realise one important thing: Muhyiddin's racist outburst is a great embarrassment for Najib's own 1 Malaysia concept. Racial baiting at its worst, Muhyiddin's over-simplified message is surely against everything that the 1 Malaysia concept is supposed to stand for.
1 Malaysia is being hyped as the promotion of national unity based on the integration of all Malaysians of different races. But how can that be achieved when some people like Muhyiddin Yassin, a deputy prime minister and deputy president of Umno no less, finds it convenient and expedient to harp, almost on a daily and relentless basis, on race, "traitors" to some race and, by extension, racial heroes?
Does Hishamuddin seriously think that his grandfather was a traitor to the Malays? If he doesn't would he have the courage and backbone to tell Muhyiddin to shut up and hang his head in shame?
And what has Najib done about the shocking political immaturity of Muhyiddin? Just playing dead to the issue? After all, what his deputy uttered so irresponsibly has betrayed the 1 Malaysia concept for what it is: A veritable facade and a farce. — Aliran

i hate it! i dont know wat u guys see in this! maybe coz im a girl!!!!!!!
3 levels? Really? I like it, but they coulda made it go a little further
omg,this game could win the addictinggame title.i lost it but found it again.stff!


text:
i was always picked last pretty much 99.999% of the time when it came to anything athletic in high school from what i can recall
i even remember one incident where my own team member "Chester the molester" we called him...would "take a whack at Weeza"
with his hockey stick to my shin just cuz someone from the opposite team made a goal past me...and we...CHER forbid...lost the game...and the loud-mouth-pain-in-my-ass coach at catholic school none the less...encouraged it!
the reason...to this day...why i have ALWAYS loathed ANY sporting event!
and to add to the fact...a bunch of guys...wear'n tights and cups and knee pads...
grabb'n each other between the legs til they sweat so bad it starts smell'n like a chili bake-off...then afterwards ...slapp'n each other on the ass for a good game before they lather themselves up and rinse themselves off in communal showers
ummm...talk about indoctrination...seems kinda GAY to me!
DOH! (why did i ever quit?)
flashfoward to a couple of weekends ago...when my brother Andy and my nephew Sean and niece Savannah came up to visit me and take me to my very first ever GOPHER'S football game
well actually...ANY sport'n event EVER since that hockey game back in 1986
but anytime to hang with my brother and his kids...regardless of where it is...is fine with me really
so off we went...across the river and thru the traffic to the Gopher's game we go
Sean was being a bit of a whiner cuz the game had already started and we still were on the roller coaster ride of try'n to find a park'n spot...(in his defense...he IS a football addict) i would have reacted the same way if i was late to...say...a MADONNA concert...
so the antsy pants was completely understood!
but after about 4 loops...we found park'n on the street and didn't have to give into the demands to have some stoner guard'n the car for 20 bux
as we made our way thru security...my security had already been breached!
so this 20 somethin' ticket check'n bleacher bimbo...
(hey i'm not judge'n...just report'n my observations...ps...for all you non homosexuals and lipstick lezbitronic lovers...this is fer you...but just to clarify...she DID NOT look like this)
asked me and my brother to remove our hats so she could see if we apparently had any weapons of mass destruction under them...
never mind my nephews cap (apparently...they haven't invented minature WOMD fer the lil critters yet)
but we also did not get the complimentary pat down by the security guy stand'n next to her
(this ones fer the ladies and ladee alikes...grrrrrrrrrr!)
i know my rights...i'm entitled to one phone call and a strip search...and i wanted to cash in the latter!
so lemme see if i got this right...baseball caps can hide weapons...but feel'n our pockets for ANY guns...knives...grenades or AK47's wasn't an issue?
ya…i'm completely confident in this school's security system
but off we went to our seats…so lemme break it down fer you play by play…as it were
my first thought was…once inside...i remembered i left my sanity at home and fergot to bring my protective shield...
you know...just in case some boobleheaded belcher tried to high five me
then i thought...what's with the sea of blood clot and macaroni everywhere?
oh...it's their team colors...(hey...i didn't pick em...i'm just say'n)
as i looked around for anything remotely desirable (hey sicko...i'm talk'n about to eat) i noticed ONE guy sitt'n to my left that would do in a pinch
(well ya know...he may or may not have even looked X-ACTLY like this)...
but hey...i think i was lose'n ya...besides...I'M tell'n the story...and trust me...HOTDOG...i think i found me a wiener *DING*DING*DING*
now...where was i?...oh yea...
my brother returns with $40 worth of processed crap to fill our greatful guts...
WTF?…where's the hummus and pita chip's and tacky strawberry margarita's?...it's no wonder why sooo many people qualify fer handicap park'n these days
below i notice a bunch of "cheerleaders" they call em…HA!
they looked more like a bunch of hysterectomy pads with pom poms pollinate'n the crowd with their eggs like a lawn sprinkler every
time they did a high kick
(hmmm…and they say us non heterosexuals have an agenda!)
so on with the game…
fortunately…my umbrella wasn't needed cuz we were on the shaded side of the outdoor stadium…but watch'n the back and forth action on the field after the first kick off…was give'n me vertigo…(plus i can think of better back and forth action i'd rather be involved in)
ummm…i'm talk'n about swimm'n laps…perv!
next was the 15 nanoseconds of fame unsuspect'n audience participants got when the camera would show them on the DUMBO screen (wait…what was that?…oh…i've just been corrected…i mean the JUMO screen) look'n like a bunch of yard apes with turrets…and to add to the insanity…later on the stadium owners (or the sponsors runn'n the show)…would give away 2 free tickets to the best audience kiss…anywhere in the continental US…this seemed promise'n
about the first ¾ of couples…it was obvious they were either married or bone'n each other in the back seat of their SUV while the kids played soccer…but the 4th couple they showed were either brother and sister…or gay…cuz neither had a desire to embrace in a kiss…and it only got better
the next couple they showed were 2 women…
unsuspect'n homo's?…or closeted hetro's?…either case they weren't buy'n into the trivial pursuit of free airline tickets
this was thee only time i would've allowed them to put me on the DUMBO screen and forgo my usual $200 entertainment fee…in hopes to get my free tickets to the big apple to see PRISCILLA on broadway
(hey...it's perfect treatment fer the obvious pain and suffer'n i suffered)
i unfortunately did not luck out…but my brother fortunately did! (but i will still accept donations fer my "treatment" at my paypal account)
Sean and Savannah schooled me on the score board as to who was ahead
and who was bite'n the dust at the halftime point…at the time i guess…we (the Gopher's) were up 13 to 3…apparently that means the odds were in our favor…(but ain't it odd…that if yer 41 and someone else apply'n fer the same job at 21…the odds are NOT in yer favor?…just a thought)
as i gazed amongst the buttcracks and boobleheads in the stadiums…
i noticed sitt'n in front of me was this Mary Laterno look'n 50+ yr old…
salivate'n over the players in the tour book she had just purchased make'n comments like "wow...he's adorable"...or "he can run fast...but needs more meat on his bones" (actual quotes)
then this intoxicated (not to be confused with intoxicate'n) delta-delta-delta-can-ya-help me-help me-help me look'n freshman (as in her 9th year as a)
leans into my nephew and slurs "hey just so ya know...there's gonna be a lot of high 5's if we make a touch down"...puhleez!!...the only touch down this tramp has ever seen was when she unstaples her heels from the dorm ceil'n
but FINALLY…the only reason why i was cohorsed into goin…i was told that Madonna was gonna perform a few numbers during the break
mary kate...
and ashley simpson
so begins the halftime show…or as i prefer to call it...
"a train wreck in polyblends"
from "now i gotta cut loose…"
to "poor old Johnny Ray"
to "let the music play on…play on…play on"
it was the should'a…could'a…but failed attempts to further their career of 80's hits in march'n band form make'n my ears bleed
at that point…i hadda put myself in a happy place…so i clicked my heels 3 times
turns out my damn clickers were broken…so i sat and suffered…i mean…enjoyed the time with my brother and his kids…thru another hour and we departed after the 3rd inning cuz my brother didn't wanna fight the crowds leave'n…the score was 16/16…(bottom of the 8th i believe it was) who knows how many more baskets we needed to win…but i fer one will never be dooped by anyone who says Madonna is gonna be there…AGAIN!
on our way out…my brother decided to help out the chinese slave labor laws(awwww...how very thoughtful)by purchase'n a 2 cent plastic pigskin to toss around with Sean for the low low price of 12 bux…and Savannah got this beautifully linked blood clot metallic look'n necklace that i'm sure some 10 year old in china helped put together with his 6 year old sister…kids help'n kids…what more can ya ask for …huh!
in the car and off we drove…HOME SWEET HOME!
now…perhaps my first experience in the sporting arena didn't exactly make me feel like a rocket land'n on the moon…
BUT I DID IT DAMMIT! now get off my dress!
ps…and NOW that i have accomplished the unaccomplishable (for me that is)…i told my brother he now had to sit thru and entire Michael Moore movie
next time i come to visit….his response?

Iowa Moms
A new list of locations for mobile speeding cameras and permanently mounted traffic cameras in the Des Moines area has been released. While it is probably helpful for me to note that there is a new camera up in an area that I drive in every day, I still can't shake my (probably irrational) feeling like there is something sort of unfair about these speed traps.
I should confess that, although I've slowed down a lot since my kiddos were born, I can be a bit of a lead foot. I count on being able to go 5-7 miles over the limit on the interstate without getting a ticket and while I drive safely, it makes me a little crazy to get behind people who go below the speed limit, especially during rush hour.
So, I've had a few speeding tickets in my life, but none that have annoyed me as much as the one I got from the city of Cedar Rapids a few weeks after I drive through there for the first time.
Part of what annoyed me was the fact that I didn't really remember speeding. There were a few times where I didn't know what the speed limit was, so I stayed out of the left lane and drove with the flow of traffic. I doubt, very much, that I would have been pulled over by an officer. When I go the ticket it just felt unfair. Did everyone around me get a ticket too?
I know speeding is speeding, whether an officer catches you or not, but this feels unfair somehow.
What do you think? Have you gotten a ticket from a traffic camera? Are you opposed to them?
Most cameras (at least in Iowa) give you a 9mph leeway before ticketing you. That means that if you're caught it is because you are going at least 10mph over the posted limit. I think because of that fact alone the way they are set up is actually very "fair".
The only people I ever hear complain about the cameras are those who speed and get caught. Whether it is because they were knowingly speeding excessively or because they weren't paying attention to their surroundings and say they didn't know the speed limit doesn't really matter. As another driver on the road l find both of those ideas concerning.
I have no problem with the speeding cameras or the red-light cameras in Des Moines. Now if I see the signs for cameras in other cities then I start getting nervous because a friend told me about one in Sioux City that will send you a ticket if you turn right on red without sitting for something like 10 seconds...that is definitely not fair.
Hmm....I know in Minneapolis they had red light cameras..it was found to have "violated state law," and the tickets were refunded.
Here is a link to a statement about it.

The two embarked on their creative culinary odyssey six years ago, when Greg, a jewellery designer and Max, a trained psychologist, hit on a novel way of combining their two great loves of cooking and art.
'Our first works were commissions,' says Greg. 'We did one for Eartha Kitt with her as the Statue of Liberty and another for the Queen Mother's 90th birthday-covered in 300 sugar butterflies. It took us three hours to set up.' Such attention to detail becomes evident as you do a cakewalk around the sculptures. The graphic detail on a sugar packet made from real sugar belies the artists' lack of formal training. Their recipe for success is based on trial and error, and ingenuity.
'No one ever told us, 'You can't do that'. So we did.' Some of the pieces are now so refined that they move. One, 'Scandal', consists of a bare foot displayed on a cushion alongside a woman's head. Turn a handle and her tongue emerges to lick the naked pedal pusher. The political satire is implicit. 'This is the year of the toe as an object of desire', says Greg. 'Certainly it's satirical. Especially when we wrap a Chelsea scarf around it.'
Other pieces contain a more obviously erotic connotation, which the artists encourage: 'When was the last time you got turned on by a cake?' In one such work a naked male torso, that of Lady Chatterly's lover, is covered with tiny sugar flowers. Perhaps the most disturbing piece though is the cake on which a pig reclines in Dionysian debauchery having his tummy rubbed with suntan oil. 'He's a cartoon pig. His legs are splayed out and an automated hand comes up between them and rubs on the oil. A child would really giggle at it. But there's, well another, erotic side too. It's a reaction you don't usually get from a sponge cake.'
True. It's certainly a long way from Jane Asher. The artists resent such a comparison. 'To compare us to her is like comparing Chanel to Top Shop. These aren't novelties we're doing here. Thomas the Tank Engine doesn't feature.'
So are they serious artists? After all, didn't American Pop master Claes Oldenburg make his name with sculptures of burgers and ice-cream sodas? What's their raisin d'etre?
'We're not saying we're great artists, but a lot of our inspiration comes from Jeff Koons. We love his philosophy. And we've made a cake in homage to the French artists Pierre et Gilles. It's a kitsch wedding cake covered in cherubs and pink tulle.'
Although the artists readily admit to a camp sense of humour, are these more than mere fairy cakes? Is there a hidden agenda in the sponge? 'Everybody will get from them what they want. God forbid we get all serious, but some of the pieces aren't easy.' So far neither the Tate nor Charles Saatchi have expressed an interest, but the artists are ever hopeful. 'Well why not. The sculptures would deteriorate, but fruit cake gets better with age, doesn't it. So in 20 years they could take off the outside and just eat the cake.'
Thomas Neal's, Earlham St, London WC2, 26-30 Oct, 11am- 6pm

((Under construction!))
Kei Arawa (圭 アラワ, Japanese for 'Square jewel Exposure) is a jōnin-ranked shinobi of Kirigakure and the former leader and teacher of Team Kei. She and her former students fought in the Fourth Great Shinobi World War as a close range specialist that destroyed enemy units using her skill with Wind Release and Fire Release.
Kei suffered serious injury during the war and was sent home to recuperate. The war having passed, Kei remains in Kirigakure and is now teaching a new team of genin.
Kei is a tall, strongly built woman of light complexion, standing at a five feet and eleven inches and weighing one hundred and fifty three pounds. She has a strong, athletic build, revealing physical strength. Her hair is done in a rather short style, drooping around her ears, and is black in coloration. Kei suffers from heterochromia, a condition were the eyes of the sufferer are two different colors. In Kei's case, the left eye is brown and the right is blue. There is a small scar across the bridge of her nose.
Kei wears a standard Kirigakure shinobi outfit in addition to shin guards and a pair of long pin stripped arm warmers that extend up to her shoulders. Her flak jacket has a neck guard and further elongated padding over her left shoulder. Her forehead protector, blue in color, is worn in the standard fashion.
"Kei-sensei? Let's just say she's rough around the edges. <laughs>" -Chairo Umi.
Kei has a very fiery and brash personality, coupled with quite an aggressive streak and temper. She comes across as rude, insensitive and uncaring to others, but she is quite loyal, fiercely protective and caring of her fellows - especially her students. Her training methods were often criticized as harsh or strict, but Kei rationed that pushing her students far past their limits would only benefit them in the long run.
She has a habit of being nosy and making the business of other people her own, which causes friction with others, even her own villagers. Beneath her rough exterior, she has a gentle streak and a surprising amount of wisdom. And despite her typical battle strategy and attitude of "might makes right", she has a keen intellect and is a brilliant tactician.
Kei is never one to turn down a fight and relishes combat. Fellow villagers have compared her to a "charging bull - there is no stopping her."
"Might makes right."
Taijutsu Expert: Kei is strong in the field of close quarter and unarmed combat. She is an advanced taijutsu user. She uses her larger size and strength to great effect when utilizing taijutsu skills. She has honed her fighting prowess greatly over the years, with taijutsu becoming her most preferred form of combat. While far from a master, Kei can hold her own quite against most opponents with taijutsu alone.
Tactician: Despite her attitude and harsh exterior, Kei is not an imbecile or a barbarian. She is a veteran of many missions and many battles and has the experience to speak for it. She can formulate fairly complex strategies during a battle without losing composure and can coordinate larger strategies with larger forces.
Behind the Scenes
- If according to a Naruto Databook:
- Kei's hobbies are fighting, training and cooking.
- Kei wishes to fight the Fifth Mizukage, Might Guy and Kakashi Hatake.
- Kei's favorite foods are chocolate and fried fish, of any kind. Her least favorite are plums.
- Kei has completed 788 official missions in total: 86 D-rank, 270 C-rank, 210 B-rank, 199 A-rank, 23 S-rank.
- Kei's favorite word is: "Victory." ("勝利")
Kei's themesong is: Kick Him When He's Down by The Offspring. Her battle music is: Triad by Tool.

Talking The Customer's Mobile Language
by Steve Smith on Jan 31, 3:34 PM
In a small but remarkable encounter with a brand's mobile sophistication, I got a glimpse of just how important it is for marketers to understand (no, really understand) the complex relationship we have with our phones.

Carriers Struggle With Smartphone 'Success'
by Steve Smith on Jan 24, 8:49 AM
The mobile carriers have an odd relationship to the smartphone revolution. They are funding much of the transition to a device-based digital data world, but their willingness to be media companies remains halfhearted.

You Need Your Own Fire Hose In This FOMO Era
by Steve Smith on Jan 22, 9:24 AM
Maybe 'fear of missing out' is not a trivial tic of the connected age and is more of a survival response to an age of big data that apps like BuzzFeed, ESPN's SC Feed and People's CelebWatch are best positioned to address.

Tweeting The Tube: Low-Res Joy In An HD Era
by Steve Smith on Jan 15, 9:35 AM
How curious that one of the most powerful accompaniments to our massive HD hyper-connected TVs is a clunky, truncated, text-based platform that feels like the telegraph by comparison. A lesson here about mobile's role?

by Steve Smith on Jan 3, 9:07 AM

In yet another sign that the UK housing market is on the skids, the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics) has said that the percentage of its members reporting house price falls is at its highest level since the early 1990s, when the property market was crashing.
Some 64.1 per cent more surveyors reported a fall than a rise in prices in February – up from 54.7 per cent in January. Prices are now down across the country, with the one exception of Scotland.
Just as concerning for sellers, mortgage lenders and house- builders reported that the number of new buyers enquiring about property was down again last month. Unsurprisingly, Rics members said that they had more unsold stock on their books than in the previous month.
Rics economist Ian Perry said the credit crunch and general economic uncertainty had caused the problems: "Many would-be-buyers are either struggling to raise the necessary finance or are exercising caution."
Longer term, though, he said the two recent interest rate cuts could help revive the market.
Meanwhile, Bovis, one of the UK's biggest housebuilders, said it was seeing far fewer buyers and that this could lead to future new-build projects being scrapped.

Wheaton College Sues over HHS Mandate
Leading Evangelical InstitutionJoins The Catholic University of America to Preserve Religious Freedom
WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Wheaton College (Ill.), a leading evangelical liberal arts institution, filed a lawsuit alongside The Catholic University of America in the D.C. District Court opposing the Health and Human Services "Preventative Services" mandate, which forces both institutions to violate their deeply held religious beliefs or pay severe fines.
This alliance marks the first-ever partnership between Catholic and evangelical institutions to oppose the same regulation in the same court.
"This mandate is not just a Catholic issue—it threatens people of all faiths," says Kyle Duncan, General Counsel, The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty. "Wheaton's historic decision to join the fight alongside a Catholic institution shows the broad consensus that the mandate endangers everyone's religious liberty."
Wheaton's religious convictions prevent it from providing its employees with access to abortion-causing drugs. The college's lawsuit acts to preserve its religious liberty and the right to carry out its mission free from government coercion.
"Wheaton College and other distinctively Christian institutions are faced with a clear and present threat to our religious liberty," says Wheaton College President Dr. Philip Ryken. "Our first president, the abolitionist Jonathan Blanchard, believed it was imperative to act in defense of freedom. In bringing this suit, we act in defense of freedom again."
"As the president of the national university of the Catholic Church, I am happy to express solidarity with our evangelical brothers and sisters from Wheaton College as they challenge the HHS mandate. Wheaton's lawsuit is another sign of how troubling many people of faith find the government's efforts to chip away at our first freedom," added Catholic University President John Garvey.
There are now 24 separate lawsuits challenging the HHS mandate, which is a regulation under the Affordable Care Act (aka "Obamacare"). Catholic University filed suit on May 21, 2012. These HHS challenges were not affected by the Supreme Court's June 28th ruling on the constitutionality of the "individual mandate."
The Becket Fund led the charge against the unconstitutional HHS mandate, and along with Wheaton represents: Belmont Abbey College, Colorado Christian University, the Eternal Word Television Network, and Ave Maria University.
The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty is a non-profit, public-interest law firm dedicated to protecting the free expression of all religious traditions—from Anglicans to Zoroastrians. For 18 years its attorneys are recognized as experts in the field of church-state law, and they recently won a 9-0 victory in Hosanna-Tabor v. EEOC, which The Wall Street Journal called one of "the most important religious liberty cases in a half century."
For more information, or to arrange an interview with one of the attorneys, please contact Emily Hardman, Communications Director, at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 202.349.7224.

Welcome to the Website for St. Peters Methodist Church.
As you will see, we are a lively and welcoming Christian community right in the heart of the City of Canterbury. Although Canterbury is mainly known for its Cathedral, Methodism has also played an important part in the City since the 18th Century. Although we are a Church that very much looks to present and the future, we are also proud of our Methodist heritage.
We believe our mission is to share the good news of Jesus Christ though word and deed. Our church fellowship is made up of many different age groups and backgrounds that reflect the community we serve. We have a wide range of fellowship and study groups, and the church buildings are also used for many community activities.
With three universities in the city along with other colleges of further education, Canterbury is home to a large student population in term time.
St. Peters has links with the Universities through their Chaplaincy Teams and our full time Student Chaplain. Find out more about our student group on
Being a city-centre church, St. Peters is the largest church in the Canterbury and East Kent Methodist Circuit. We also have two Methodist Primary Schools in our Circuit together with strong links with Kent College, the Methodist Independent Boarding School on the outskirts of Canterbury.
When you are in Canterbury please come and join in our Sunday worship and experience for yourself the warmth of our welcome. For more information about our activities, please do not hesitate to contact me. There is also a map showing where St. Peter's is located in Canterbury.
Revd Geoff Boxer
St. Peter's Methodist Church, Canterbury

Nicholas Carr opens his new book with an example of high technology, circa 1850: the great water wheel built to power Henry Burden's ironworks in upstate New York. Just a few decades after it started turning, though, the giant wheel stood abandoned in favor of cheaper, easier-to-use energy from the new electric utilities.
In The Big Switch: Rewiring the World, from Edison to Google (W. W. Norton, 2008) Carr equates the mass electrification of the industrial world to what he sees as the coming age of the computing cloud, in which gigantic data centers and robust Internet connectivity will doom to obsolescence today's corporate information technology infrastructure. "In the end, the savings offered by utilities become too compelling to resist, even for the largest enterprises," he writes. "The grid wins."
In his previous book, Does IT Matter? Information Technology and the Corrosion of Competitive Advantage, Carr argued that corporate IT is increasingly becoming a commodity. Well written and researched, The Big Switch (go.cioinsight.com/BigSwitch) is not any more encouraging than its predecessor for CIOs who want to preserve the status quo. Soon enough, says Carr, a former executive editor at the Harvard Business Review and author of the punchy Rough Type blog, the job of managing even commodified IT will disappear.
He writes in the book, "In the long run, the IT department is unlikely to survive, at least in its familiar form. It will have little left to do once the bulk of business computing shifts out of private data centers and into 'the cloud.' Business units and even individual employees will be able to control the processing of information directly, without the need for legions of technical specialists." Meanwhile, the impact of this new information grid on business and society at large will be tremendous.
Carr discussed the subject with senior writer Edward Cone. An edited version of their conversation follows.
CIO Insight: For a guy who likes to deflate technohype, you make some pretty big claims in this book. Why do you think the changes afoot will be so massive?
Carr: I'm more confident today than when I started the book a couple of years ago. It comes down to economics. If you can get the information processing you need in a more economical way, then companies will naturally move in that direction, and that's what utility computing is starting to offer.
Ultimately, corporate decisions are economic decisionsand the advantages of utility computing are going to push companies in that direction.
The shift seems to be proceeding quickly. Companies are more open to using software-as-a-service offerings and other Web-based computing services than they were a year ago.
Smaller and midsize companies are leading the way. These organizations have the most to gain immediately from moving to the utility model because in many cases they just don't have the capital to build out IT infrastructures the way large companies do. It allows them to level the playing field without having to invest a lot of capital.
Over the last year or two, on the buyer side and the supplier side, we're seeing a fairly rapid evolution upmarket toward larger companies buying into the concept. You can see it in the shift in Salesforce.com's clientele, which started very much in the midsize company market and is moving up consistently to large companies, in some cases very large companies.
The biggest hurdle, particularly with large companies, is convincing them that they don't have to run everything themselves. That kind of shift in thinking can take many years, particularly given the fact that it's been their assumption for 40 or 50 years that they have to do all their own computing.
Page 2: The Hybrid Model
The Hybrid Model
How long will this transition to the utility model take?
Carr: For large companies, it's going to last for five or 10 years at least. A large companya GE, for examplehas a huge amount of computing scale in supplying its own business. We'll see large companies use the technologies of utility supplyvirtualization, multi-tenant systems and so forthto build in essence in-house utilities that will serve their own business units. We're seeing that happen with the consolidation wave in data centers and servers. Then they'll pull in utility services from the grid to complement what they're doing internally. That hybrid model is going to last for large companies quite a long time. What is the impact of this shift on the software business? Carr: The big suppliers are in a tricky position. All of them are preparing for a future in which more of what they used to sell as packaged components is sold as services over the Internet. They're all investing in that supply model, but what isn't clear to them yet is whether they can replicate the enormous profits they have received selling software when they begin to sell it as a service. All of them are hedging their bets, they're building out the infrastructure and the code they need to supply products as services, but they are wary of pushing their buyers, particularly their large buyers, to this new model quickly, since the economics of it have yet to be clarified. In the medium term, you'll see a lot of these companies building out their own data center networks. Over time, as a few, very large companies build out their grids, it will make more sense for software suppliers to get out of the hardware business, to get out of the infrastructure business and supply their services to third-party data center networks. But it remains to be seen how much consolidation there will be in this business. Inevitably, the IBMs and HPs are going to play a big role here. As of yet, they are taking a fairly low profile in positioning themselves as leaders in the trend. IBM is kind of a stealth company when it comes to utility computing. IBM runs these huge data centers for hosting, managed services and grid computing. The company is definitely building up its capabilities, and with its Blue Cloud initiative IBM is looking to become in essence a supplier of components and expertise to other companies that are building out these kinds of grids. Page 3: Potential Barriers
Potential Barriers
What kind of constraints do you see on this movement? What needs to happen and what could keep it from happening? Carr: There are a number of potential barriers. One is the capacity of the Internet. So far that hasn't been a problemand it may be a while before it becomes a problembut eventually you have to believe, particularly with the shift to video and multimedia, that current capacity will tap out. But I don't see the technology as being the big constraint. The technological advancesin the fiber optic network, virtualization, grid computing and parallel processingare pushing this transition to the utility model. The bigger constraints are probably related to data security, including regulatory constraints on what companies can do with their data. That is a very real issue for a lot of companies. It will ultimately resolve itself. In many cases, it takes a while for governments and their regulatory frameworks to catch up with new technological capabilities. We're probably in one of those situations today. Ultimately the utility model will provide greater data security than we have in today's fragmented model. But companies are often nervous, and for good reason, about where their data is stored. The issues about security are in one sense a little bit overblown. Companies get used to allowing third-party suppliers access to sensitive information all the time. CRM is one of the leading software-as-a-service offerings. That means putting very sensitive account information into somebody else's database. Companies have been doing that with payroll for many years. Recently a bank CIO mentioned that his company and a lot of others use outside suppliers to print up their statements. They supply all the information of accounts to these third parties. We'll see technological solutions, whether encryption or other focused advances, that will alleviate these concerns. As big companies like Google, Salesforce.com and SAP move into this arena, they will invest a lot of time, money and technological expertise to make sure companies can be confident that data will be safe and secure and isn't going to leak through to other companies' hands. It's going to take time. It comes down to a matter of building trust between supplier and buyer. What about user and customer experience? Carr: Moving to a Web model will have benefits for companies beyond cost. IT has been organized as an isolated asset. Every company builds its own systems [and its own] networks, even if it uses the same components as its competitors. It's based on an assumption of isolation of systems and isolation of data. As we move to a Web model, we move to a model based on communal assets and easily sharable data. With the isolated model, sharing information, whether between business units or between partners, can be a big hassle. Sharing information becomes much easier as we move toward more multi-tenant systems or shared systems. Ultimately, corporate systems will look more like the Web 2.0 systems people use at home or in their dorm rooms, built with the ability to customize the way an application works so it fits your particular needs, to share information with people and organizations you choose to share it with. It's a much more flexible, much more personalized, much easier-to-use model. Page 4: Not All-or-Nothing
Not All
What happens to proprietary systems that provide competitive advantage? Carr: There's nothing in the utility model that says all software has to go to the shared utility model. We can see in the early stage with something like Amazon Web services the ability to write your own code but use utility suppliers to run it and to store it. Companies will continue to have the ability to write proprietary code and to run it as a service to get the efficiencies and the flexibility it provides. One of the great advantages of IT is its modularity. Companies should not think of this as some all-or-nothing choice. You can tailor your systems and your use of utility suppliers to do anything you need to do with IT. You shouldn't think your choices are going to be constrained through this transformation; it's going to give companies more choices in the end. What becomes of the corporate IT function in the age of the grid? Carr: The corporate IT department has had a dual nature until now. One really important function has been the kind of technical expertise that keeps the computing machines running.
Over the next five or 10 years, the technical aspect of the IT department will become less important. It will slowly evaporate as more of those experts go outside onto the grid. But the information management and information strategy elements will become, if anything, more important. The ways companies take advantage of digitized information will become more important, not less. The big question in the long run is, do those types of skillsinformation management and thinkingremain in a separate IT department or do they naturally flow into business units and other traditional parts of the business? My guess is that over time, they'll begin to flow into the business itself and that will be accelerated as individual workers and business units get more control over the way they are able to organize and manipulate their own information. I would be surprised if maybe 20 years from now there are still IT departments in corporations. That doesn't mean that the skills in those departments are going away. The more technical skills will probably move out into the supplier community and the strategic thinking, or tactical thinking about information, will flow out into the business itself. When I wrote Does IT Matter?, I focused on the noun in "information technology." But information has always been a critical strategic element of business and probably will be even more so tomorrow. It's important to underline that the ability to think strategically, to think in business terms about informationwhether it's information about your business or the transformation of your products into pure informationthose skills will be critically important to companies, probably increasingly important, in the years ahead. Page 5:
Seismic Shifts
In The Big Switch you write about the wall socket as a clear demarcation point between the utility and the user, noting that such a point is lacking in the computing world. What's the relevance of that socket to IT management?
Carr: An important question is, how do CIOs and IT people help their companies make a successful transition from the world of the private computing operation to the utility age?
Think about the electrical socket. We always knew precisely where it would go: between the generating capacities of the utilities and the application of the current. The application of the current always had to occur locally; it wouldn't do you any good to run a vacuum cleaner in your electric utility.
With IT, it's a very different matter; even the applications can be served up as the utility service. That tells us that companies can put the equivalent of the electrical socket, the data socket, anywhere they want. They can begin to get certain elements of their IT requirementswhether it's raw computing power, data storage or various applicationsover the network as utility services. But they also can supply any or all of those things locally from their own data centers.
One of the big challenges for IT departments is to figure out which elements they want to supply locally, which they want to get from the grid and how that mix will change over time as the utility offerings mature, proliferate and become cheaper. Determining where you put the data socket, and where you move it over time, is going to have a big affect on how efficiently and effectively companies are going to use IT into the future.
Do you foresee changes in society of the magnitude caused by the electric grid?
Carr: Whenever you change the supply model for a resource, a product or a service that is crucial to society, you change a lot of the trade-offs that determine how people work, live and entertain themselves and shop and connect with other people.
We're going to see that, just as the electric grid dramatically expanded the availability and reduced the cost of mechanical power, and that led to all sorts of knock-on effects: the way society is organized, the way we think about education, the way we think about consumerism. We'll see similar effects as we're all essentially hooked up to this one huge worldwide computer, this Internet-based supercomputer that all of us share.
We're seeing the early signs of the changes when you look at the disruptions in the media business. It makes sense that would be an early indicator of the seismic shifts going on, since the products are pure information.
Whether you look at record companies, or newspapers, or increasingly at movie studios and television studios, you see what happens when all of this stuff gets very, very cheap. They're compet ing against free products, sometimes, often products produced by amateurs or volunteers.
Employment will be affected as computer automation expands into new areas. One reason we've seen an increasing concentration of wealth over the past 20 years is because of computer automation, and that trend will only accelerate.
An area I don't think peopleespecially politicianshave particularly thought through is what happens when a lot of the data and equipment crucial to your economy can be suddenly moved anywhere in the world. In my book I refer to the possibility of Cold War 2.0, as countries struggle with the political and national security implications of this vast computing grid.We're a long way from knowing how the economic and political consequences of this new machinery will play out.

GROSSE POINTE WOODS (CBS Detroit) – A puppy named Hunter, who was adopted from the Michigan Humane Society at Petco in Sterling Heights, is credited with saving the lives of his new family members.
How did he do it? The 3-month-old Husky mix alerted them to a gas leak in the middle of the night, hours after a burner was inadvertently left on. It was turned on enough "to emit gas, but not enough to light it," MHS said in a press release.
Hunter, who was adopted just two weeks earlier, woke his adoptive mom, Jill McLarty, around midnight on Wednesday, March 5, by whining nonstop, MHS staffers said.
"Thinking that Hunter needed to go outside, Jill let him out," MHS said in a press release, adding, "She was surprised that Hunter simply sat outside and continued to whine."
McLarty let him back in and brought the pup back into the bedroom, where she and her husband were sleeping. Hunter wouldn't stop whining and eventually began running in circles in the hallway before leading his "mom" into the kitchen.
"When she turned the light on, she saw Hunter sitting next to the stove, and noticed that one of the gas stove burners was on low, without a flame, causing gas to leak into the house," MHS staffers said in the release.
The McLartys estimate that the gas had been on since they had cooked dinner, nearly six hours before Hunter woke them up.
See Hunter's adoption story below.
"He is the first dog we ever adopted (from MHS) and I would recommend it to anybody," said Tim McLarty, Jill's husband. "And as cliché as it sounds, the life you save may save yours."

Clinical Significance
FSH and LH are secreted by the anterior pituitary in response to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GNRH) secreted by the hypothalamus. In both males and females, FSH and LH secretion is regulated by a balance of positive and negative feedback mechanisms involving the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, the reproductive organs, and the pituitary and sex steroid hormones. FSH and LH play a critical role in maintaining the normal function of the male and female reproductive systems. Abnormal FSH levels with corresponding increased or decreased levels of LH, estrogens, progesterone, and testosterone are associated with a number of pathological conditions. Increased FSH levels are associated with menopause and primary ovarian hypofunction in females and primary hypogonadism in males. Decreased levels of FSH are associated with primary ovarian hyper-function in females and primary hypergonadism in males. Normal or decreased levels of FSH are associated with polycystic ovary disease in females. In males, LH is also called interstitial cell-stimulating hormone (ICSH). Abnormal LH levels with corresponding increased or decreased levels of FSH, estrogens, progesterone, and testosterone are associated with a number of pathological conditions. Increased LH levels are associated with menopause, primary ovarian hypofunction, and polycystic ovary disease in females and primary hypo-gonadism in males. Decreased LH levels are associated with primary ovarian hyperfunction in females and primary hyper-gonadism in males.

Hello lovelies!
I went a bit crazy with this mani! I got a package from Llarowe and another from Rainbow Honey and I couldn't decide what polish to wear so ... I wore all of them :) Hooray!
I used Jade Holographic Nail Polish - Mystic Gold on my thumb, first finger and little finger and then did two layers of Rainbow Honey - A Little Kindness from their equestria collection. I LOVE this combo. A lot. Mystic gold is a beautiful gold holo with a lot of green going on in there and it suits the pink and gold tones of ALK really nicely. I love the way the holo shows through the glitter. On the other fingers I used Enchanted Polish - Magic Mirror which is a beautiful lavender holo with little silver shards in. I couldn't get the shards to show up in the polish though. Next time I wear it I'll give the bottle a really good shake to see if I can get those shy little shards to show up. I stamped with Barry M Gold Foil and did some dots with Orly - Purple Pleather. You can see the gorgeous scattered holo in both of these polishes in the last two pictures. Nom.
Mughhrrrr I love holos. I wish the sun would come out again so I can utilise my holo collection to its fullest extent. Come on sun!
I hope you're having a lovely day!

Wheat Kings Take Game Three
3 comments:
- Jeff said...
Hey Jon,
The Broncos played well to times however Brandon's best players have outplayed SC's best players. If the Broncos want to win tonight they can not have defensive zone breakdowns when Brandon's best players are on the ice. Each time it was in the net.
The game really started to turn in the Bronco's favour when they started to take the body and finish their checks. I was impressed with their push back.
As they say the 4th win is the hardest to get.
Jeff - 8:23 AM
- Anonymous said...
There was nothing wrong with that hit, just a clean hard check. He didn't see it coming at the blueline, he didn't look to be hurt. Sure he laid on the ice for a bit but got off on his own power. The 5 was a litttle but a suspention would be over the top.
- Grant said...
Hale sits tonight, and is waiting to see how long his suspension will be.

Story highlights
- Marc Marquez claims hat-trick of wins at start of MotoGP season
- Marquez wins Argentina round from pole
- Honda teammate Dani Pedrosa in second place
- Valentino Rossi in fourth and third in standings
World champion Marc Marquez continued his impeccable start to the 2014 season with his third win in three races with victory in the Argentina MotoGP Sunday.
The Honda rider also became the first rider since the great Italian star Giacomo Agostini in 1971 to win the first three from pole position.
The 21-year-old Spaniard's teammate Dani Pedrosa finished second ahead of the Yamaha duo of Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi in third and fourth respectively.
Marquez, so dominant in Doha and Texas, did not have things all his own way after opting for a hard front tire choice and following a sluggish start was as low as seventh on the second lap.
But as his tires bedded in on the Autodromo Termas de Rio Hondo, a circuit being used for the first time for a MotoGP, he powered through the field.
He was in second place by lap four and then overtook the Yamaha of former champion Jorge Lorenzo after tracking him for a dozen laps.
Marquez soon pulled well clear and Pedrosa also overhauled Lorenzo with a lap to go of the 25, to complete a one-two for the Repsol Honda line-up.
Marquez has a perfect 75 points after three rounds, with Pedrosa on 56 and Rossi in third on 41 points.
"The beginning was difficult. My tires were not good and I span as I was on the dirty side of the track," admitted the world champion.
"But it was fun. Jorge opened the gap and I just kept pushing to catch him at the end."
Stefan Bradl and Andrea Iannone finished fifth and sixth, with promising young Briton Bradley Smith in seventh in his debut season at the highest level.
In the Moto2 competition, championship leader Esteve Rabat of Spain scored his second win of the season while Italy's Romano Fenati won the Moto3 race to deny Australian Jack Miller his hat-trick of wins in that class.
MotoGP was returning to Argentina for the first time since 1999 as the third of 18 rounds this season.

collecting colours over a cup of coffee...
If you are a lover of printed words, you would know how much of your time is taken by books alone. Then one day, sooner or later, you discover a huge vacuum within that you know next to nothing about other art forms. This blog is an attempt to fulfil one such lacunae in the art of painting. We intend to look up a random painting and upload it with a link here every day whilst having our daily cuppa coffee. In this way at least we hope to be better acquainted with colours, colourers and the schools than what we are now.If you wish to be a part, you know where to shout.

The title of this post is a shout out to my friend who hooked me up with my new bike last month. Ever since I met him I would tease him about how every time I ran into him he was talking to someone about bikes. All of his conversations led to bikes. All of his FB posts were bike videos or something about his bike. One time, I think to be funny he just put "Bikes!" as his FB post. I rolled my eyes and moved on to other news and updates.
Anyway, the good news is, he now works at a bike shop in Kaysville and when I told him I wanted a bike he found one he thought I'd like and I do. It's great. I live further away from work than I used to so it's too far to walk (a little less than 5 miles). But not too far to ride!
One of my coworkers lives nearish to me so we met up this morning to ride to work together. When we got to work we saw that Jim rode his bike too (Jim also doesn't live far from me). Coincidentally it was Mayor Becker's "Bike to Work Day". So I was an unwitting joiner. It was a lovely ride down. Can't wait to ride again. Not tomorrow though I need my car.

commandlinefu.com is the place to record those command-line gems that you return to again and again.
Delete that bloated snippets file you've been using and share your personal repository with the world. That way others can gain from your CLI wisdom and you from theirs too. All commands can be commented on, discussed and voted up or down.
You can sign-in using OpenID credentials, or register a traditional username and password.
First-time OpenID users will be automatically assigned a username which can be changed after signing in.
Every new command is wrapped in a tweet and posted to Twitter. Following the stream is a great way of staying abreast of the latest commands. For the more discerning, there are Twitter accounts for commands that get a minimum of 3 and 10 votes - that way only the great commands get tweeted.

Wow, didn't really expect you to read this far down. The latest iteration of the site is in open beta. It's a gentle open beta-- not in prime-time just yet. It's being hosted over at UpGuard (link) and you are more than welcome to give it a shot. Couple things:
The large context number (-C 1000) is a bit of a hack, but in most of my use cases, it makes sure I'll see the whole log output.
Scans the file once to build a list of line numbers that contain non-printable characters
Scans the file again, passing those line numbers to sed as two commands to print the line number and the line itself. Also passes the output through a tr to replace the characters with a ?
-P displays a progress meter
-z tells rsync to use compression
My variant on this common function. Some highlights:
Allows you to override the default ps args of "aux"
Uses bracket trick to omit the grep process itself without having to use a second grep
Always prints the correct header row of ps output
Limitations: Ugly ps error output if you forget to quote your multi word grep argument
trap is the bash builtin that allows you to execute commands when the current script receives a particular signal.
Uses $0 for the script name, $$ for the script PID, tee to output to STDOUT as well as a log file and ps to log other running processes.
unsets variables used by the one-liner
sets up the IFS bash variable to not be affected by whitespace and disables extra glob expansion
uses read to slurp the results of the find command into an array
selects an element of the array at random to be passed as an argument to mplayer
If you use Mac OS X or some other *nix variant that doesn't come with ssh-copy-id, this one-liner will allow you to add your public key to a remote machine so you can subsequently ssh to that machine without a password.

Scribner's Sons ; Maxwell Macmillan Canada ; Maxwell Macmillan International PP New York; Toronto; New York YR 1992 SN 0684193272 9780684193274 AB One of the most gifted popular composers of our time, Marvin Hamlisch's book is funny, witty, brutally frank, and moving. He writes about the career that brought him three Academy Awards, a Pulitzer Prize, and international fame by the age of thirty-one. It also left him alone, with nowhere to go but down. The son of Viennese immigrants, he was sent to New York City's Juilliard School of Music when he was only six, but the place made him a nervous wreck, and he unfailingly threw up before every final exam. He helped a young Liza Minnelli make her first record as a Christmas present for her mother, Judy Garland. He next went to Broadway where he was a rehearsal pianist for Barbra Streisand in Funny Girl. Moving to Hollywood, he composed the score and title song for The Way We Were, adapted the music for The Sting, and accepted three Oscars in one evening. He came back east after that to work with Michael Bennett on A Chorus Line. He also had failures such as Jean and Smile. Tough years followed with no writing offers of much consequence. Being idle and alone was agony. Hamlisch started experiencing excruciating headaches and developed depression. He realized that his life " ... would have to stop being about showing them. It would have to start to be about showing me."

Nothing says Thanksgiving like a vat of hot, boiling oil. Fried Turkey!!
Having grown up in the South, where everything is fried, fried turkey is nothing new to me. But, I have met a lot of people who have never heard of it or tried it. Of course, usually the first reaction you get is, "OMG, it will be so greasy" but it is far from greasy. Justin Wilson, Cajun Chef, said of fried turkey, " Frying whole turkeys is sort of the Southern version of making fondue. You have a lot of your friends over, you poke around in a pot of hot oil with some sticks, and then you pull out your dinner." That sounds about right to me. Frying a turkey is a very social activity, people want to gather around, see it, and smell it being cooked.
When my husband moved from the north, that was one thing that he couldn't wait to try. So our first Thanksgiving together, he and my dad stood huddled over a hot pot of boiling oil frying turkeys. That was 6 years ago, ever since then he fries one every year.
You start out with a thawed turkey, then you inject it with delicious marinades, either store bought or homemade. Then rub the skin with a combination of cayenne pepper, white pepper, paprika, and other seasonings. This adds the flavorfulness. Marinade overnight, or at least 2 hours before frying.
