Jonas Otsuji Voted Off "Survivor: One World"
On tonight's "Survivor 24: One World" 37 year old sushi chef Jonas Otsuji
became the seventh castaway voted off the show. The episode
began with the newly merged tribe returning from tribal council and enjoying the merge feast. The next day, Tarzan approached the guys in the hopes of reforming the men's alliance, but Troyzan, Jay and Michael wanted none of it. The castaways then competed in the Reward Challenge, where they were randomly split into two teams and took part in an obstacle course. Four members of each team had to dig themselves underneath a log in the sand and then crawl under a
wooden rack. They then had to dig up a bag of puzzle pieces and race back through the obstacle course, where two other team members used those pieces to
assemble a puzzle. The teams went back and forth with the lead until the puzzle portion, when Christina and Troyzan pulled out the win for their team. The six winners were awarded pizza, beer and a secret note to be read later. After the team enjoyed their reward Alicia read the note, which revealed that there was a new immunity idol hidden on their beach. The six castaways agreed to keep the news between themselves. Back at camp, Jonas and Tarzan got into a heated argument over Tarzan approaching Michael about reforming the men's alliance. Early the next day, Troyzan went searching for the hidden immunity idol and ended up finding it in a tree. Later, the castaways competed in the first individual Immunity Challenge, which consisted of standing on a small platform while balancing three balls on a wooden disc. One by one the castaways dropped their balls until only Kat and Troyzan remained. In the end, Troyzan took the win and was awarded the immunity necklace. At camp, the post-switch Salani tribe debated whether to vote out Tarzan or Jonas. At tribal council, Jonas and Tarzan got into another spat, causing Tarzan to state that he was voting out Jonas. The former Salani members did the same thing and voted out Jonas, sending him home 10-2 and making him the first member of the jury. Now, eleven castaways remain!

Tennis Great Martina Navratilova the First Celebrity Voted Off "Dancing with the Stars 14"
On tonight's "Dancing with the Stars" results show tennis legend Martina Navratilova became the first celebrity voted off the show. Last week
the twelve new contestants danced for the first time and then returned
yesterday to perform a second routine. When the judge's scores for both
weeks were combined, opera singer Katherine Jenkins landed at the
top of the leaderboard with a 52 out of 60. Actress Melissa Gilbert and tennis player Martina Navratilova landed at the bottom with 40 and 37 points out of 60, respectively. Tonight, when the viewer votes
were added, it was Martina who garnered the least support and was
eliminated from the competition. Next week the eleven remaining stars will
have to tell a personal story through their dance and one more couple
will be sent home!

"Jersey Friends" Joey Fitness and Danny Eliminated from "The Amazing Race 20"
On tonight's "Amazing Race 20" New Jersey friends Joey "Fitness" Lasalla and Danny Horal
became the fifth team eliminated from the race. The episode began with
the seven remaining teams flying from Bavaria, Germany to Baku, Azerbaijan. When they landed, the teams were instructed to drive to the Temple Ateshgah where a Fast Forward awaited them. Rachel & Dave and Joey & Danny were the first two teams to grab a clue and they both decided to attempt the Fast Forward. That task required them to travel to a nearby market where they would have to unload 150 bales of hay and then stack them ten long, three wide and five high. The two teams were neck and neck until the very end, when Rachel & Dave took the lead and ended up winning the Fast Forward. That allowed them to skip all the other tasks & head straight to the Pit Stop. Unsurprisingly, they checked in first and were both awarded a brand new 2013 Ford Taurus SHO. The other teams faced the Roadblock, which required one team member to participate in a helicopter crash training exercise. They had to
enter a helicopter simulator that would submerge in a pool and flip over. They would then have to knock out a window and swim to a nearby lifeboat. When the task was completed, teams traveled to the Toghrul Karabakh Carpet Shop where a Detour awaited. The choice of tasks was between traveling to a fruit market and searching
through an old car filled with a ton of apples for one apple
marked with a race flag or traveling to a health spa and cleaning crude oil off of a client using a shoehorn. The oil task proved to be much easier than the apple one, as the teams who chose that task arrived at the Pit Stop first. Joey and Danny couldn't make up the time they lost attempting the Fast Forward and arrived at the Pit Stop last, eliminating them from the race. The show returns in 2 weeks with the six remaining teams continuing the race in Tanzania.
Patricia Velásquez Fired on "Celeb Apprentice"
On tonight's "Celebrity Apprentice 5" actress/model Patricia Velásquez became the
seventh star fired by Donald Trump. The episode began with the teams
learning that their new task was to create a launch party for a new flavor of Crystal Light MockTails. Clay Aiken was picked
project manager for the men, while Aubrey O'Day was chosen on the women's
team. The men chose the Peach Bellini flavor and decided on a beach theme for their party with the slogan "Life's a Peach". The women picked the Pomtini flavor and came up with a Garden of Eden theme and the slogan "Stir Your Healthy Desires". On the men's team, everyone rallied behind project manager Clay, including Penn Jillette who had butted heads with Clay on the last task. Over on the women's team, Patricia messed up the branding by not putting Crystal Light on every poster they hung on the walls. After the Crystal Light execs checked out both parties, they met up with Donald to tell him who won. In the boardroom, Trump informed the teams that the executives liked both the parties, but preferred the men's a little bit more. Aubrey was crushed by the loss and became very emotional for the rest of the boardroom. Trump felt so sorry for her, he personally donated $10,000 to her charity. Aubrey picked Dayana and Patricia as the overall weakest members of her team and pushed hard for Dayana to go home. In the end, though, Donald felt that Patricia's gaff essentially lost the task for the women and had no choice but to fire her. Next week, there are two tasks in a special 3 hour episode, during which one star walks off the show. Tune in & see!

Colton Cumbie Eliminated Due to Illness and the Tribes Merge on "Survivor 24: One World"
On tonight's "Survivor 24: One World" 21 year old college student Colton Cumbie was forced to leave the show due to medical reasons. The episode began with Alicia and Colton taunting Christina and telling her she may as well leave, since she's going to be voted out next anyway. Later, the tribes met up for the Reward challenge, which consisted of bouncing coconuts off of trampolines in order to hit five targets. Unsurprisingly, Salani won the challenge and were awarded ice cream sundaes. While the Salani tribe was enjoying their reward, Colton was starting to not feel well over on Manono. His stomach issues got worse and worse, until a medic had to be brought in to take a look at him. After some quick tests, the medic thought he might have appendicitis and decided to pull him from the game. The other Manono members said emotional goodbyes to Colton, but Alicia was upset that he didn't give her his hidden immunity idol before he left. The next day, the tribes were told there would be no Immunity challenge, but they would still go to tribal council. When the two tribes met up later that evening, Jeff informed them that no one else was going home. He also told them to drop their buffs, as the two tribes were now one. The game is now even again with six guys and six girls competing as individuals. Which alliances will survive and which ones will crumble. Tune in and see!

"Cousins" Kerri Paul and Stacy Bowers Eliminated from "The Amazing Race 20"
On tonight's "Amazing Race 20" cousins Kerri Paul and Stacy Bowers became the fourth team eliminated from the race. The episode began with
the eight remaining teams taking a train from Turin, Italy to Bavaria, Germany. When the teams arrived in Germany, they were instructed to drive to a local restaurant where a Travelocity gnome held their next clue. That clue was a Detour, where the choice of tasks was between styling a German man's beard to correctly match a provided picture or collecting pieces of gingerbread on a trail and then using those pieces to correctly assemble a gingerbread house. When Bopper and Mark got to the restaurant, they were first faced with a Speed Bump, a task only they had to complete since they came in last on the prior leg. They had to learn how to yodel a specific tune before they could attempt the Detour. When one of the Detour tasks was completed, teams were instructed to find the castle that was the inspiration for the castle in Sleeping Beauty. Many teams made the mistake of going to a different, nearby castle and had to backtrack to the correct one. When the teams reached the castle, they had to search for Ludwig the Second's bedroom to find their next clue. That clue was the Roadblock, where one team member had to use their Travelocity gnome in a game of curling. When their gnome landed on the center ring they would be given their next clue. Art and J.J. were once again the first team to reach the Pit Stop & were awarded a trip for two to Thailand. Kerri & Stacy and Jamie & Nary got stuck at the curling and ended up battling it out for last place. In the end, even though they finished the task first, Kerri & Stacy arrived at the Pit Stop last and were eliminated from the race.
Tia Carrere Fired on "Celebrity Apprentice 5"
On tonight's "Celebrity Apprentice 5" actress Tia Carrere became the sixth star fired by Donald Trump. The episode began with the teams
learning that their new task was to create a viral video promoting O-Cedar's new Pro-Mist mop. Lou Ferrigno stepped up
project manager for the men, while Tia Carrere was chosen on the women's team. The men came up with the catchphrase "I'm going to mop the floor with you" and filmed a video featuring Lou dancing with the mop. The women decided on the risque catchphrase "What's your number?" which was a double entendre meaning both the number of people you've slept with and the number of mops you've owned in your lifetime. On the men's team, Clay got fed up with Penn's condescending attitude and gave him a piece of his mind. On the women's team, the trio of Debbie, Lisa and Aubrey felt they were the only ones coming up with creative ideas and that Tia, Dayana and the others were far weaker contestants. After the O-Cedar execs watched both videos, the teams met up in the boardroom to see who had won. Trump revealed that there were pros and cons about both videos, but in the end the execs preferred the men's team more. On the women's team, Aubrey attacked PM Tia calling her weak, jealous of her and even old. In the end, Tia took sole responsibility for her team's loss and essentially asked Trump to fire her. Trump obliged and now the teams are even again, six guys versus six girls. Who will be the next to go?

Monica Culpepper Voted Off "Survivor 24"
On tonight's "Survivor 24: One World" 41 year old NFL player's wife Monica Culpepper
became the fifth castaway voted off the show. The episode
began with Jeff announcing to the castaways that it was time for a tribe swap. All the castaways randomly chose an egg from a bowl that was filled with either blue or orange paint. The new tribes ended up being Mike, Jay, Troyzan, Sabrina, Kat, Chelsea, and Kim on the
new Salani, while Tarzan, Jonas, Colton, Leif, Alicia, Christina, and
Monica made up the new Manono. The new tribes then took part in the Reward challenge, which consisted of filling a bucket that had lots of holes in it with water and transporting it to a container to raise a flag. It was a close game, but in the end Salani beat Manono and they were awarded peanut butter sandwiches, coffee and the right to stay at the old camp.The new Manono tribe had to start from scratch on a brand new beach. Over on Salani, Kim went searching from the hidden immunity idol and sure enough she found it in a tree. She decided to share the news with her closest ally, Chelsea. Over on Manono, Colton told the girls he would flip to their side and vote off the guys, even though he had no real intention of doing that. The next day, the tribes competed in the Immunity challenge, which was basically full contact basketball in the water. Salani once again defeated Manono 3-1. Back at camp, Colton convinced the guys and Alicia to vote out Monica, viewing her as the biggest threat. At tribal council, that's exactly what happened, as only Christina voted to keep Monica. Will the new Salani keep dominating the challenges? Tune in and see!

"Best Friends" Bopper and Mark Avoid Elimination on "The Amazing Race 20"
On tonight's "Amazing Race 20" best friends William "Bopper" Minton and Mark Jackson
avoided elimination despite arriving last on this leg's Pit Stop. The
episode began with the eight remaining teams flying from Asunción, Paraguay to Turin, Italy. Mark and Bopper made the mistake of going straight to the airport to get tickets instead of stopping at a travel agent first. That forced the guys to book a flight that arrived an hour and fifteen minutes later than the other seven teams. They tried to get onto the first flight when they arrived back at the airport, but the plane was full. When the teams landed, they drove to the Lingotto Fiere where a Roadblock and a Fast Forward awaited them. Art and J.J. were the first team to arrive and decided to attempt the Fast Forward, which required one of them to land a remote controlled helicopter onto a helipad on their teammate's head. The other teams faced the Roadblock, which forced one team member to rappel down the ramps of the Lingotto building and grab a clue in under two minutes. If they ran out of time,
they would have to start all over. When the task was completed, teams were instructed to drive to the Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile and search for the Tin Lizzie. Once they found the car, they were given a 2 cent Euro coin and had to figure out their next destination was the building depicted on the coin: the Mole Antonelliana. Rachel and Brendan couldn't figure out what the coin meant, resulting in one of Rachel's infamous meltdowns. Since Art and J.J. successfully completed the Fast Forward, they were able to go straight to the Pit Stop. Unsurprisingly, they checked in first and were awarded $5,000 each. When the teams reached the Mole Antonelliana, they were faced with their final challenge: the Detour. The choice of tasks was between properly cleaning a marble statue or tasting 14 different kinds of salami, traveling to a nearby piazza and then identifying all 14 kinds. Most of the teams chose the statue task, which proved to be much easier than the salami. Bopper and Mark could never overcome their one hour deficit and arrived at the Pit Stop last. To brighten their spirits, Art and J.J gave them the money they had won from coming in first. Phil then gave them even more good news by telling them that it was a non elimination leg and they were still in the race. Can the Kentucky boys make a comeback? Tune in next week to find out!
Michael Andretti and Adam Carolla Both Fired on Tonight's "Celebrity Apprentice 5"
On tonight's "Celebrity Apprentice 5" comedian Adam Carolla and IndyCar driver Michael Andretti were both fired by Donald Trump. The episode began with the teams
learning that their new task was to produce a 10-minute presentation and 10-minute Q&A session promoting the Buick Verano. Debbie Gibson was picked
project manager for the women, while the men surprisingly chose Adam Carolla as PM over racing legend Michael Andretti. The women listened to what the Buick executives said and created a presentation that was heartfelt and family friendly. The men, on the other hand, went with a more humorous presentation that featured members of the team pretending to heckle Adam. They also made sure to incorporate Michael in the presentation, even though he didn't have much stage presence. On the women's side, Aubrey screwed up the name of the car when it was her time to speak, calling it the Buick Verono. After both team's presentations, the celebs made their way to the boardroom to find out who had won. Trump revealed that the execs liked both presentations but preferred the women's more, giving them their second straight win. On the men's team, Adam refused to bring anyone back to the boardroom, which didn't sit well with Trump. He decided that everyone was up for elimination and that two people would be fired. First up, Donald fired project manager Adam for taking most of the blame for his team's loss. Next up, Trump said goodbye to Michael for not stepping up as project manager on a task that he felt was tailor-made for him. Next week, team outcasts Lou Ferrigno and Tia Carrere take the reins as project managers. Which team will emerge triumphant? Tune in & see!

Bill Posley Voted Off "Survivor 24: One World"
On tonight's "Survivor 24: One World" 28 year old stand-up comedian Bill Posley
became the fourth castaway voted off the show. The episode
began with the men asking to borrow the women's fishing net and in return they would give them half of everything they caught. The women decided not to take the men up on their offer, thinking they had enough food as it is. Later, the castaways competed in the Reward challenge, which consisted of knocking out five tiles in a row on a large board using a slingshot and coconuts. The women won the challenge and chose a tarp as their reward. Back at camp, Leif mistakenly told Bill that he was on the chopping block last week and when word got back to Colton about what Leif did, he wasn't happy. Colton confronted Leif about his actions and Leif admitted he made a mistake. The rest of the misfit alliance also viewed Leif's blunder as a betrayal and outright told him he would be the next to go. The next day, the tribes competed in the Immunity challenge, which was three different puzzles that had to be solved by three different pairs of castaways tied together. The men crushed the women, thanks in part to Alicia to Chelsea taking forever to get past the first puzzle. Back at camp, Bill tried to make amends with Colton, but Colton was having none of it. He was so upset with Bill that he even brought up the idea of giving the women their immunity and going to tribal council that night just to get rid of Bill. At first, the other guys dismissed the idea, but Colton kept pushing for it and eventually they all agreed. Tarzan, however, wanted to vote out Leif instead of Bill because he felt they could no longer trust him. At tribal council, a shocked Jeff couldn't believe that the men had given up their immunity and said this could end up being the stupidest move in Survivor history. In the end, Colton got his way and Bill was unanimously voted out. Next week, a tribal shake-up could alter the game yet again.

"Twin Brothers" Elliot and Andrew Weber Eliminated from "The Amazing Race 20"
On tonight's "Amazing Race 20" twin brothers Elliot and Andrew Weber
became the third team eliminated from the race. The episode began with
the nine remaining teams flying from Buenos Aires, Argentina to Asunción, Paraguay. The first four teams booked a flight that departed at 8:45am, while the other five teams had to take a later flight that left at 10:40am. When the teams landed, they made their way to the Metalúrgica Punta de Rieles, where they had to search amongst the metal equipment for a clue. Once they found one, they were faced with a Detour. The choice of tasks was between traveling to a nearby fruit market and building a 10 by 10 pyramid of watermelons or going to a local university and correctly stringing a harp. Many of the teams had trouble with the watermelon task and switched to the harp one. Rachel and Dave got nervous that the teams from the second flight were catching up, so they used their Express Pass. That allowed them to skip the Detour and move on to the next task. That task was the Roadblock, where one team member had to perform a choreographed routine while balancing an empty bottle on their heads. If they broke all of their provided bottles they would be given a 2-hour penalty. Art and J.J. smoked all the other teams and arrived at the Pit Stop first, earning them a trip for two to the Bahamas. On the other hand, Dave dropped all his bottles during the Roadblock and he and Rachel incurred the 2 hour penalty. In the end, that dropped them from second to sixth place. Vanessa and Ralph struggled with the watermelon task, while Elliot and Andrew had trouble with the harp task. The two teams happened to meet up at the Roadblock, where Ralph edged past Andrew, giving him and Vanessa a glimmer of hope. The brothers ended up arriving at the Pit Stop last and were eliminated from the race. Now only eight teams remain!
George Takei Fired on "Celebrity Apprentice 5"
On tonight's "Celebrity Apprentice 5" actor George Takei became the third star fired by Donald Trump. The episode began with the teams
learning that their new task was to create two themed living window displays for Ivanka Trump's clothing collection. George Takei was picked as
project manager for the men, while the women chose Dayana Mendoza. The men decided to hire three sets of twin models who would showcase Ivanka's clothes in two ways: at the office during the day and at a red carpet event at night. The women came up with a convoluted idea about "timeless" fashion that featured a clock and sketches & photos of Ivanka's clothes. Right away, Dee Snider had to leave his team and see a doctor about his broken finger. He ended up needing immediate surgery, which prevented him from participating in the task. When it came time to build the set for their displays, Adam Carolla took the reins on the men's team since he had a carpentry background. Although the men worked well together, they weren't sure George was up to par when it came to making decisions. On the women's team, a curveball was thrown when the photos they had ordered for their display didn't arrive. Thinking on the spot, Aubrey came up with a new theme for the windows: a fashion designer's clothes going from sketches to the runway. After the teams presented their windows to Ivanka and the CEO of Lord & Taylor, they traveled to the boardroom to find out who had won. Trump revealed that Ivanka much preferred the women's display to the men's, giving the women their very first win. On the men's team, project manager George decided to bring Arsenio & Lou with him to the final boardroom. In the end, Trump fired George because he took most of the blame for their loss. Next week, two stars are sent packing!

The company, whose main businesses are making tanks, Rolls-Royce cars and Cosworth engines, is hoping to announce the sale of the division, which analysts have criticised for not delivering satisfactory growth or profits, when it publishes its half-year results in September.
In June it confirmed negotiations for the disposal of its Swedish medical subsidiary, S&W Medico Teknik, to Artema Medical. Since then observers have been expecting the sale of the remaining businesses, which make incubators and electronic monitoring equipment. The division is valued at pounds 85m-pounds 90m.
No deal has been concluded yet, but it is understood that one of the leading contenders for the division is Smiths Industries, which has extensive healthcare technology interests. A management buyout has also been considered. "The market is expecting to see a disposal of the medical business soon," said Daniel Bevan, engineering analyst at Credit Lyonnais Laing. "At the moment it looks like a division without a strategy." Vickers declined to comment.
Meanwhile, BAe is understood to have dusted off plans to make a takeover bid for Vickers, with a view to getting its hands on the armoured car and tank business to augment its "one-stop shop" strategy for arms export sales. It is understood to have instructed bankers Kleinwort Benson to put together proposals for a share-and-cash offer of about 240p a share, valuing the company at pounds 800m. On Friday, Vickers shares closed 3p lower at 199p, down from 300p last October, on continuing fears over its exposure to sterling; BAe was up 45p at 1486p.
BAe already has an agreement with Vickers to market the latter's Challenger tanks in the Middle East, where Qatar is planning a pounds 500m defence order for British equipment and BAe's close relationship with Saudi Arabia resulting from the Al Yamamah contracts could prove useful.
The companies are also collaborating with Lockheed Martin and General Dynamics of the US on a bid for the next generation of armoured reconnaissance vehicle, known as the Tracer or "battlefield taxi".
If BAe's approach leads to a full bid, the defence company would be unlikely to retain the Rolls-Royce car and Cosworth motor-racing engine businesses. The former might be sold to BMW, which has long expressed an interest in owning the prestige British marque and already supplies engines to Rolls-Royce.
Cosworth, which is expanding into engine manufacture for mainstream car makers, could be the subject of a management buyout.
BAe has also retained political lobbyists to liaise with the Government on the political implications of a merger. If BAe and Vickers were to combine operations, there would inevitably be rationalisations and job cuts. Vickers's two Challenger tank factories, one in Leeds and the other on Tyneside, are seen as particularly vulnerable. Even if the company is not taken over, one of the factories may have to close for lack of export orders for the Challenger after its MoD order is completed in 2001.
The timing for BAe is better than for Vickers. The latter's share price has been in the doldrums for nine months, driven lower by worries over its exposure to sterling and the profitability of Rolls-Royce, whose sales increased in the first half of the year but which is investing heavily in a new model, the first all-new Rolls in 15 years. Vickers warned in April that its half-year profits would not top last year's pounds 31.8m.
Sources within Vickers confirmed that it was seeking a long-term partner for its armoured vehicles division. Analysts believe it is keen to resist any takeover approaches until it can deal from a position of strength. It is still awaiting final testing approval on its Challenger 2 from the MoD, and every delay adds to the financial strain as it builds up stocks of the tank.

We will be giving several of these albums as gifts this year since almost everyone knows about Susan's story and has heard her fantastic voice.

The General Services Administration's top-to-bottom review found major inconsistencies in how it gives bonuses to Senior Executive Service members.
And in the aftermath of the Western Regions Conference scandal, which showed the agency paid thousands of dollars in bonuses to employees under investigation, acting Administrator Dan Tangherlini took a major step to reign in the agency's performance award structure.
Tangherlini announced Tuesday he is cutting the number of SES performance awards by 85 percent in fiscal 2012 and 2013, and suspending all performance awards given out in the administrator's office for the rest of 2012. He also has instituted a temporary hiring freeze until the organizational review is completed this fall.

"This review has uncovered clear deficiencies in the area of performance awards," he wrote in a blog post. "By our count, we currently have more than 15 different bonus structures; there are questions about the agency's high award rate, and questions about whether performance goals are set at a high enough level throughout the agency. I believe performance awards should be issued for exemplary service that goes above and beyond the basic, expected level of performance."
Tangherlini said GSA also will "eliminate the Awards Stores program, where employees had access to prizes like iPods and digital cameras. We have a responsibility to be good stewards of taxpayer dollars. We are also going to undertake a comprehensive review of all our performance management and awards system, including individual and organizational performance awards. And we will work closely with the unions to fulfill our obligations."
Bonus freeze not new
All these were issues that came up in the aftermath of the conference scandal that became public in April, which caused the downfall of at least four senior officials, including then-Administrator Martha Johnson.
GSA's inspector general found the employees under investigation received more than $1 million in bonuses. In all, 84 employees received an average of about $13,000.
Sources say the freezing of bonuses actually started last year under Johnson for both SES and non-SES managers.
As a part of the agencywide review, Tangherlini is rethinking how the organization is structured. Therefore, until the review is completed, he said a temporary hiring freeze is necessary.
Tangherlini said Tuesday during an event sponsored by ACT-IAC and TechAmerica in McLean, Va., that he is considering all options in changing the way the agency is organized, including consolidating the chief information officer's offices for headquarters, the Public Building Service and the Federal Acquisition Service.
"The fact is we already have a common single organization that is supposed to deliver solutions to federal agencies, the problem is that over time we have created these redundant silos within the organization," he said. "I'm not saying that I have figured out yet, with the team, Congress, the White House, the industry, what that right structure is. These things are squarely on the table. We want to talk about it. If there are rumors about consolidating these within the organization, that means we are doing something right because are having the dialogue."
Tangherlini said it's his job to push the agency the hardest and think bigger for ways to deliver on its mission more effectively and efficiently.
"I'm challenging folks across the organization to find ways that we can look at how we set ourselves up in the most efficient way possible," he said. "I'll not put an end to the rumor, but I will not answer it definitively. I think we need to have these conversations and they will continue throughout the summer. I've promised the people I work for we will have some at least notional idea of where we are going this fall."
He added he hopes that this top-to-bottom review is the first of many that GSA continually goes through to improve on the way it meets its mission.
More GSA reform hearings on tap
Rep. John Mica (R-Fla.), who has probed the agency's questionable spending, called the latest effort "only one small step to reform an agency that has spun out of control."
"It's common sense that GSA executives responsible for blowing hundreds of millions of the taxpayers' dollars on lavish conferences, trips to exotic locations and poorly monitored employee gift programs should not be rewarded with bonuses," Mica said in a statement. "The committee will conduct additional hearings on GSA, to review the agency's measures to clean up its act and to consider additional reforms."
Tangherlini told GSA employees of the hiring and bonus freezes early Monday evening.
Sources say the reaction among GSA employees was minimal. One source, who requested anonymity because they didn't receive approval to speak to the media, said employees almost expected these actions because of the conference scandal.
And it makes sense given the budget situation that performance awards would be severely limited and a hiring freeze would take effect. GSA already has offered two rounds of buyouts or early retirements, and a third round is very possible.
Tangherlini said before the announcement of the hiring and award freezes that the morale of GSA employees has taken a hit. But employees also see the aftermath of the scandal as an opportunity to improve.
"The 500 ideas and thousands of comments I got from folks is not from a group who is sitting and crying themselves to sleep at night. These are folks who are engaged, who are committed, who are interested, who are motivated and frankly excited," he said. "I think you would have to be an organization filled with something other than humans to not go through what we went through in the last couple of months and not feel bad about it. But I have to say I really admire the skill and quality of the GSA employees who are saying this is a huge opportunity for us to reprove our value, to show what we can do and to really change the way we really do our work."

- - Platy fry with fin tail rot and filter problems
Platy fry with fin tail rot and filter problems Yesterday, I notice one of the 1 month old platy fry had fin rot in its tail. Now he/she is the only one with fin rot so far and it died this morning. What should I do now?? :( Another problem I have is that lately, my aqueon power filter has not been pumping out as much water in the aquarium. I rinse the catridge last week and I haven't change it since January. So should I look inside of it to make sure nothing is plugged up? Thanks. |
fin rot is normally a water quality issue or it can happen if there is overfeeding going on. i would test the water for ammonia and nitrites and then do a large water change. as for your filter, if you can pop the intake off and clean out the impeller, it may help. you say that you rinsed out your cartridge last week....did you rinse it out thoroughly? that could have washed away your beneficial bacteria and started an ammonia spike which could lead to fin rot. i would definitely test the water and do a water change |
It's pretty normal for filter flow to slow down a bit after it gets some material trapped in it. If the flow is still decent there's nothing to worry about but if it's seriously clogged up you can give it a gentle rinse in old tank water. |
Here are my levels if you need them. Also, some of the 4 day old fry have some nipped fins on them, but the other 1 month olds do not. They were probably nipped or had fin rot because of there mother constantly chasing them. Ammonia: 0.25 Nitrite: 0.25 Nitrates: 5.0 I did around 20-25% water change yesterday. My mom says that I'm always cleaning the tank( I do like 2-3 times a week with small 20% water changes. |
hmmm, by those numbers it looks like your tank is not yet fully cycled. it will not be cycled until you are showing zero's for both ammonia and nitrites. i would keep a very close eye on those ammonia and nitrites until it is finished cycling. you may need to continue those daily water changes for a while. however, i would avoid cleaning the filter or doing very many gravel vacs. i would not touch that filter at all for a while...let it get dirty. a clean filter is bad these water parameter readings, did you take them before or after a water change? .25 is a low reading, but when it gets any higher than that you really ought to do a water change to get it lowered. i doubt you are very far off. how long has the tank been running? |
My tank has been runnig since August. The ammonia and nitrite were 0 and Nitrates were 5 for a long time at one point and went back to 0.25 of ammonia and Nitrites. Nitrate has been stable for a long timeand never went up or down. Everytime I do water changes, the readings always at 0.25.. I want them to stay down at all times....So should I keep doing water changes or wait for the filter to catch up? |
keep doing water changes when it gets over .25 your filter will eventually catch up |

The Healing Continues: What do I do now after drug rehab?
Having gone through alcohol or drug rehabilitation is a major undertaking. Congratulations. Now you might be wondering several things. Where do I go from here? What do I do with my new life? What are the best strategies for staying clean and sober? The information in this article answers all of these important questions. It comes mostly from the experts: people, like you, who were once in a treatment center and have been in recovery for many years. Additional information has also been contributed from professionals that have helped recovering alcoholics/addicts after the alcohol or drug rehabilitation process.
Taking Action—The Process
* Create a plan for after you leave. Work with your therapist, counselor or the treatment center you attended to assist you in developing an after care treatment plan. These are designed to give you a strategy for staying clean. It's a plan that will keep you on track in the recovery process. Lay person and professional experts in recovery know that an outlined plan detailing the things you can do to stay sober is valuable. Here are some of the most common, and maybe not so common, steps/actions/objectives that can be part of your plan towards a goal of staying healthy, sober and free from addiction.
* Continue with therapy. Follow up sessions with a trusted counselor or professional helps to address those issues or problems that are new for you. Life after addiction comes with new or confusing situations you will be faced with. For example, there was a man that after having been in a drug induced state for years did not know how to order his eggs at a restaurant. He would say, "I just let them throw the eggs on the plate, anything to get some food in my belly. I never paid attention to or cared how they were cooked". When you are confronted with something you don't know how to handle, frustration and desire to turn to what you know best (getting high) may become overwhelming. There is no problem too small or large that a trained professional can't help you with. It's better to seek their advice and look for solutions than to return to abusing drugs or alcohol.
* Keep your body healthy. This part of the after care plan should involve listing ways you can keep your body functioning at optimum levels. Some steps may include:
* Nutrition and eating right are essential. There have been studies recently showing that the right intake of calories, vitamins and nutrients, staves off the craving for drugs and alcohol. When your body feels good, the chances are you can better fight the cravings for addictive substances.
* Drink lots of water. Water hydrates the body and maintains your body temperature. Proper hydration allows for smoother waste elimination, and keeps the body emotionally balanced. Experts that work in the crisis industry (rape crisis centers, nurses in emergency or triage, etc.) have long known the power of water in regulating a person's mood. It has a calming effect. An added bonus among many, water keeps your skin from drying out too.
* Exercise. Find an exercise routine and stick with it. If you like the gym or workout centers get a membership Take evening walks in your neighborhood after dinner. Use stairs wherever you go instead of elevators. Remember to find exercises that will bring your heart rate up (aerobic) and those that include warm-up, stretching and free-weights.
* Keep your teeth clean. One of the first things to not only put on your plan but to arrange is a dental exam. Drug use and alcohol abuse damage teeth and gums severely over time. Studies have shown that excessive plaque and tartar on the teeth carries through to our blood stream and creates a plaque build up in the arteries. This means potential heart problems and cardiovascular disease. Also, clean teeth means you will smile more and that alone will better your social life.
* Make social activities part of your plan. When you're developing your after care plan, be sure to include activities that make you happy. Socializing will decrease depression and keep you from feeling isolated. On this note, make sure to not include former drinkers or drug using "buddies". Chances are very high that if you begin associating with your former partying partners (that are still using) you will quickly begin abusing the substance again. Find people that have been in recovery for a long time or others that have never had a substance abuse problem. Seek new friends, return to favorite hobbies, whatever it takes to get you out and busy.
* Find your spiritual path. Whatever spirituality means to you, discover or re-discover what it is that gives you strength through the hard times. Returning to a spiritual place that made you feel connected, worthy or special will help.
* Find the creativity within. Do you draw, paint, dance or read? Bring the creative you back to life. Creativity gives a sense of self-worth and accomplishment. This is important for anyone recovering from an addiction. By the way, start your creative processes with your treatment plan. Give thought to the social activities you like. Outline some ideas to eat foods that will not only nourish you but make you feel good, alive and energetic. There are many healthy foods that can give this feeling. Bring your creativity to your plan and make it uniquely yours.
When preparing your after care plan, make sure it's what you want. There is nothing worse than having a plan that fits someone else's needs or expectations. Often in alcohol or drug treatment and detox centers we hear quite a bit about what we should do. Our days are planned with activities, counseling, meal times and social events. We become accustomed to what others think we should do to remain sober. Family and friends offer advice, your counselor or therapist may suggest items for your plan but in the end, the treatment plan belongs to you. It needs to be tailored with the purpose of achieving your goal. Your goal is to remain sober and clean. If the plan is one you want and can live with, the chances are you will respect it, follow through with the steps/objectives and stay sober for many years to come.

Strange dream with you in it last night. I was meeting you and two of your friends somewhere, can't recall the setting. Anyway, I saw a group of three people and as I approached I realized I didn't have my glasses on so you guys were all blurry. I got closer and was able to rule one of the three out as not being you. He was tall, had grey hair and a white sweater and a big Hollywood scarf on. He kind of resembled George Plimpton. The other two people had long straight hair, dishwater blonde hair and big glasses on.
One of them was going to be you.
The one on the right seemed to be the more slender and feminine, so as I got closer in my mind I thought it was you, but my vision was still blurry. My plan was to give you a hello hug.
But when I got to within hugging distance from you, I realized the person I was about to hug was not you, but a very effeminate male. The "real" you was standing next to him, and you were holding a leash with Duff attached. But it was too late! I had already committed to hugging this man and hug him I did.
And this is where the dream got…dreamlike. The man I hugged was rather put out by it and wouldn't tell me his name. Actually, he was VERY put out by it and nearly fell down putting distance between he and I.
The other man in the white sweater thought it was funny as hell and laughed and laughed and laughed; his name, he said, was "Mr. Wood" and I couldn't help feeling that there was something sexual about the name for the sake of the dream.
And you, well, you acted like you didn't know who I was and my repeated attempts to tell you I was "Bulletholes" were unsuccessful.
But Duff, well, he was all over me , licking my face and jumping and being a big ol friendly dog.
I liked 'ol Duff the best!
That is from an Email back in January of 2009. Someday maybe I will clean it up and make it a better story, but for now i'd just like to mark time. You can follow this link to a post from August of 2008. I just have received word that Duff, my friend Kissygirls doggie, finally passed on to the Rainbow Bridge, and waits there with tail wagging for my friend.
I love so much my friends from this blog.

Mine died this week while driving screws on a deck job. I am going to get it repaired as it is still covered. What I am wondering is this a common thing with the driver or did I get a rare lemon.
No announcement yet.
18v ridgid impact driver
i have the 14.4 ridgid impact and loved it it is an amazing tool i liked it so much that i bought a 18 volt lith ion maktia impact driver as well(longer run time and new toy hehe)but i must admit that the ridgid at times felt odd when it really is being worked hard though it has not broke so i have to say at this ponit you must have gotten a lemon get it fixed and keep going with it9/11/01, never forget.
Hot Impact Driver
I have a 14.4 Ridgid impact driver and have had no problems. It does get hot if you constantly are driving large screws. I was using it on a deck a couple weeks ago, driving 3 inch #8's into pressure treated, and I had to give it a "rest". The outside temperature was 30 Celsius (I think that's about 85 F), so I thought nothing about it. I certainly was hot, so why shouldn't the tool be as well?
Odd that yours should overheat driving smaller screws, though.
I just did a neighbours 36 X 14 deck, she got rather hot driving the 1/2 X 6 lags into the anchors for the ledger board but i also let them sit and hammer for a while, even then we needed a breaker bar to finish snugging up the lags. I know, wrong hardware but I had to work with what he bought. I sank 2.5" deck screw for 2 batteries and it didn't get any warmer than when it was sitting in the 86° direct sun. Unless you are driving large lags or setting nuts on carriage bolts and tightening to 100 FT LB or more I would say your driver is a bit buggered. Driving #8 2.5 and #10 3.5 into PT did not cause excessive heating of the hammer mechanism.
Re: 18v ridgid impact driver
I've had the 14v ridgid impact for over a year now and and can't say enough good things about it, compact and very powerful. The supplied battery was a little small for driving a bunch of 6" lag bolts but using an additional battery and swaping them out I've driven 1/2"x 5" hex bolts into lock nuts all day. Other wood workers who have borrowed it for a few minutes love it too. Yes it does heat up but with the lifetime warrenty I keep pushing it and it works great. I love this impact and with 6 impacts and cordless screwdrivers I've learned what works and what doesn't. In my oinion while Ridgid doesn't make the sexiest tools in town I've never had a problem unlike the Dewalt tools I've had.
Re: 18v ridgid impact driver
I've got 2 of the Ridgid 14v impact drivers (generally 1 to drive screws and 1 to drive large bolts, my work requires both) and these are strong units. I am a professional woodworker so I've tried different units over the years and these are the best I've found. Yes I get them hot (you can smell the smoke) and I keep on pushing them (lifetime warrenty). The batteries are getting old (after 2 1/2 years) and they aren't very pretty anymore but while they are a little on the heavy side I wouldn't trade them period.... Better than Dewalt by far and with more power than Makita not to mention the lower price Ridgid is my choice. I only wish Ridgid offered an even more powerful impact driver so I wouldn't feel guilty when I'm driving 1/2"x6" lag bolts.
Other woodworkers who have borrowed were impressed and bought them.
Final thought... While I wish Ridged offered Lithium Ion batteries I've had so many problems with Dewalt tools over the years that I'd take a slightly heavier Ridgid impact over ANY Dewalt tool.

Re: 18v ridgid impact driver
I have the 18 v lithium Ion driver. used it for a 6 hour day the first time out. kinda slow, but worked. 2 months later pulled it out to help a friend with a deck. Wouldn't even drive the 3" screws into 3/8ths decking. No torque to speak of. Changed settings, but when the head of the screw hit the top of the decking, it wimped out! Any suggestions? Speed is good on 2 setting, but bogs down. Can't handle a simple screw for approx. $200 driver? Buddy had a dewalt he has built a small cabin, covered bridge and about 90 feet of decking on a pier with without a hitch!
Re: 18v ridgid impact driver
You should have started a new thread, this one is ancient.
You don't mention what type of batteries you have.
Did you charge the batteries before you started using them on the deck? If they are nicads and have been sitting unused for two months, they would have lost most of their power. You will need to discharge and charge a few times.
There are other things about batteries, particularly nicads that are important. Never run them until they are totally dead. As soon as you start to lose power throw them on the charger. Running them until they are drained will kill them prematurely.
If nothing else, you can take comfort in knowing that your Ridgid batteries are part of the Lifetime Service Agreement.
You did register for it, didn't you?
Re: 18v ridgid impact driver
My son in law has His own remodeling/construction bus. after talking to him about a cordless drill gun I bought the Ridgid 18 volt and it works great he has a Dewalt set of battery tools for sale and claims the Ridgid runs cicles around them, while my brother in law swears by Dewalt but He did install the alarm system in local dewalt service center which gives Him great service so Dat's my 2 cents for what it is worth

Minnesota is about as far away from the ocean as it is possible to be in the United States, but it has a shoreline on Lake Superior and a major port at Duluth. Most of the ship traffic carries iron ore from the Mesabi Range north of Duluth. The state has 7 active lighthouses and one ruined lighthouse tower. There is no state lighthouse preservation society, but there are well-organized preservation efforts at several of the sites. Aids to navigation in Minnesota are maintained by the U.S. Coast Guard Aids to Navigation Team Duluth, but ownership (and sometimes operation) of historic lighthouses has been transferred to local authorities and preservation organizations in many cases. ARLHS numbers are from the ARLHS World List of Lights. USCG numbers are from volume 7 of the U.S. Coast Guard List of Lights.

While the following wine didn't make the final list, it is a delicious and great value I thought deserved praise.
2009 Bodegas Volver 'Tarima Hill' Monastrell, Alicante, Spain
One of Spain's most exciting wine regions is Alicante located in the southeastern part of the country. More often than not the red wines from Alicante are great values – made primarily, if not
This week's example was awarded 92 points(!) by Robert Parker. How they make wine from hand harvested organic grapes, from low-yielding vines - wines that are aged for 20 months in 100% French oak - for only ten bucks? - is astounding. Bodegas Volver has done it with their 2009 Tarima Hill Monastrell, which displays big, luscious, ripe dark fruits with a dusty earthiness and smoke, soft tannins with hints of sweet oak on the finish. This is a crowd pleaser and a great example of what Monastrell can brings to the table.

Ever since Iron Man hit theaters back in 2008, Marvel Studios has been planting the seeds for an eventual Avengers movie. Now after four long years of build-up, The Avengers is finally primed to hit screens in a mere two-and-a-half months. And to get fans even more amped about this superhero team-up, Marvel has launched a brand-new trailer for the movie that shows us exactly what we have been waiting for since 2008.
Instead of releasing a trailer that focuses on the movie's plot or characters, this new footage ratchets the action up to 10 and unleashes a flurry of explosions and eye-candy to set the mood for what is to come. This film won't be a character piece like The Amazing Spider-Man or a sprawling epic like The Dark Knight Rises; instead, expect The Avengers to be a tight two-hours of mayhem and CGI battle scenes when it debuts in May.
Here we see a full-scale war in the streets as Earth's Mightiest Heroes take on Loki and his mysterious alien army. For anyone that has picked up a comic or watched these heroes on television when they were kids, these action sequences should make you feel right at home. If there is one thing that director Joss Whedon understands, it's sci-fi/fantasy set pieces, and this movie looks to bring those to life in a way that is rarely ever seen.
It would have been nice for the trailer to give us a hint as to what is actually going on in the movie, or even let us see more of Captain America acting like the team's leader, but what we are shown here is good enough. This movie won't test your intelligence or give you a new outlook on life, but it should prove to be a solid summer blockbuster.
We'll see if The Avengers can rival The Dark Knight Rises for superhero superiority when it is released on May 4.

Video: Peace process is a work in progress, says North's First Minister Peter Robinson
RENEWED violence on Northern Ireland's streets shows the peace process is a work in progress, Peter Robinson insisted today.
Speaking at a Brussels conference showcasing the province as an example of how divided communities can be reunited, the North's First Minister said. "Recent events have shown that reconciliation and peace are very much still work in progress. But the lesson today is the same as it has always been - violence obtains nothing except harm to the perpetrators and the communities they claim to represent.
"Active politics and rational dialogue offer the only way forward. This is the view shared by all of the political parties in the Northern Ireland Assembly. It is only through dialogue in the absence of violence that situations can be worked out. "
He went on: "The difficulties of recent weeks must not be allowed to take the shine from the success of the tens of thousands of projects which have brought communities together in Northern Ireland in a spirit of reconciliation, hope and confidence in our future."
Many of those projects have been funded partly by EU "PEACE" programmes launched in 1995 after pressure from MEPs at the time John Hume, Jim Nicholson and former First Minister Ian Paisley.
Mr Robinson, addressing an audience including delegates from other trouble spots looking for answers, including the Balkans, Libya, the Basque region and Cyprus, praised the EU's commitment to Northern Ireland over 18 years.
Pointing out that the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to the EU last year in recognition of six decades of efforts towards peace, reconciliation and democracy in Europe, Mr Robinson added: "The PEACE programmes are a tangible example of this contribution, with almost two billion euro being committed through three successive programmes from 1995 to the end of 2013."
Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness told the conference that the PEACE programmes had played a substantial part in what had been achieved in Northern Ireland, and recent efforts to destabilise the peace process would not work because the vast majority of people wanted peace to succeed.;
"Recent events at home signal there is still work to be done. We have come too far to lose momentum and the progress that we have made. We are committed to the rule of law and the primacy of the political process. We deplore violence on our streets and are determined that communication and reconciliation are central to our shared future."
The conference was shown three examples of schemes designed to bring communities together, including the "Theatre of Witness project which was shown to EU Regional Development Commissioner Johannes Hahn when he was in Derry in June 2011 for the opening of the EU-funded Peace Bridge. The theatre stages the true-life stories of those caught up in the conflict, As victims or activists - performances of suffering and redemption often acted out by the people themselves.
Mr Hahn told today's conference: "I was overwhelmed by the people I met on that trip, people from both communities who bear the physical scars of the troubles. People who a few years back wished each other only harm are now working hand in hand to build a new shared future. Their passionate commitment and sheer determination are truly laudable.
"This is why I wanted to bring their experience to Brussels. I want the widest possible audience for their achievements because I believe other parts of the world may be able to learn from their work".

Back down amongst it, with the light fading, we went in search of the ideal creek bed on which to build our barbecue. Neil was an exacting leader. Many a dry creek that would have done the rest of us nicely Neil rejected on the grounds - if I heard what he shouted through the open window of his Toyota correctly - of unevenness, over-accessibility (ie low inconvenience rating) or poor acoustics. We ploughed through the roughest terrain and then ploughed back out again, until even the Pajero began to work up a sweat. The later it got, the more surprised the wild horses and donkeys were to see us still looking. They raised their heads from feeding in alarm. Some, thinking we must be dangerous, decided it was best to flee. God knows how much smaller life we sent scuttling for safety through the undergrowth. In the end it was the lateness of the hour that settled it. We found a spot that looked suspiciously like the first one we'd turned down and set to work building a fire. This consisted of collecting three leaves and two twigs and tossing on a match. The match was supererogatory. On such tinder a warm breath would have done as well.
It was a wonderful night. Not quiet - the bush out here was never quiet - but utterly still. The heavens almost as vaulted as they'd been over Cook, the stars so distinct that you could calculate the millennia that separated them. Cities spare you the horror of the stars by blurring them; the melancholy of country people must be a consequence of how much time they see whenever they raise their eyes. Tonight everything was a hard silhouette of itself - the trees, the parked vehicles, us, all so sharply defined that we seemed things of outline only, without other substance.
And, if that was how I looked, it was also how I felt. It was as close as I'd so far got, on this journey, to spirituality. I imagined perpetuity for myself as being like this: my profile, a line circumscribing nothing, spinning eternally through space. Not a torment - not at all Dantesque infernal - but a supreme lightness; a sort of distillation, only of spirit into body instead of the other way around. Which might mean that it was physical I was feeling, not spiritual at all. Either way I enjoyed it, sitting swooning by the fire, oblivious to such purely temporal threats as snakes and scorpions.
Literally Lost 59: The book was 'Behind the Wall' by Colin Thubron. The action took place in China. The winner is Florian Barker of Coventry.

Pin It
I've mentioned this already, but I recently decided to change up my Pinterest boards. I had one main board I was pinning all of the fantastic food posts I had seen. I decided to break the boards out into smaller, more specific boards, because when I actually did want to find something I had pinned, I couldn't find it. This is because I have a little pinning addiction, and had almost 3000 food pins. (Yikes!!)
And having some OCD tendencies like I do, I can't just leave a board – full of pins – just sitting there. So I have been going through, little by little, and editing each of those pins into the right boards. It's been slow going, but I've actually been having fun with it, because I'm discovering things that I pinned months ago that I had forgotten about.
So needless to say, I've been cooking up a storm lately. And I've been super inspired by everything I see out there. Seriously – there are some uber creative bloggers out there.
Many of the recipes that I've been re-seeing have stuck in my head. I saw a Moroccan tagine recipe on Vintage Mixer that I had pinned, and after seeing it again this second time, I just couldn't stop thinking about it. So when I ran across a recipe with similar flavors in an old Cooking Light issue, I knew that it was fate and that I had to make it.
This isn't a typical meal that I would choose, but I'm glad that I stepped a little bit out of my comfort zone to try this. I loved the savory and sweet combination, and I'm always a sucker for chicken thighs. This is totally something that I'd make and eat again – in fact, I'd probably look forward to it. And the fact that it's pretty healthy is a bonus, as well!
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 cups thinly sliced yellow onions
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground coriander
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1½ cups less-sodium chicken broth
- 1 (15½ ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1 (7-ounce) package dried apricots, halved
- Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add half of the chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove and repeat with the remaining chicken.
- Add the onion to the pan and cook until tender. Add the ginger, cumin, salt, coriander, cinnamon, pepper and garlic. Saute for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Stir in the broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to release the browned bits. Return the chicken to the pan and bring to a simmer. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour, or until chicken is tender.
- Remove the chicken from the pan with a slotted spoon and allow to cool slightly. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Add the chicken, chickpeas and apricots to the Dutch oven. Cover and simmer another 10 minutes to heat through.

An isentropic flow algorithm with body fitted meshesTools Glaister, P. (1991) An isentropic flow algorithm with body fitted meshes. Computers & Mathematics with Applications, 22 (12). pp. 47-53. ISSN 0898-1221 Full text not archived in this repository. To link to this item DOI: 10.1016/0898-1221(91)90146-U Abstract/SummaryAn efficient algorithm based on flux difference splitting is presented for the solution of the three-dimensional equations of isentropic flow in a generalised coordinate system, and with a general convex gas law. The scheme is based on solving linearised Riemann problems approximately and in more than one dimension incorporates operator splitting. The algorithm requires only one function evaluation of the gas law in each computational cell. The scheme has good shock capturing properties and the advantage of using body-fitted meshes. Numerical results are shown for Mach 3 flow of air past a circular cylinder. Furthermore, the algorithm also applies to shallow water flows by employing the familiar gas dynamics analogy.

The fanboys and entertainment blogs have been going back and forth on this picture that has been circulating the Internet Tuesday (Jan. 18) of the cast of "X-Men: First Class," which hits theaters on June 3.
While several sites have been asked to take down the picture by Twentieth Century Fox, apparently THR is sticking to its story and they haven't pulled it. But, to be clear, we are reporting this is NOT the official photo (until it is).
Based on the Marvel comic book series of the same name, this installment will be the fifth in the "X-Men" film series and a prequel.
Here's the official summary:
Before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Before they were archenemies, they were closest of friends, working together, with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known. In the process, a rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto's Brotherhood and Professor X's X-MEN.
Pictured in the unofficial photo, from left, are Michael Fassbender ("Inglourious bastards) as Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto, Rose Byrne ("Damages") as Dr. Moira MacTaggert, January Jones ("Mad Men") as Emma Frost, Jason Flemyng ("Clash of the Titans") as Azazel, Nicholas Hoult ("Skins") as Hank McCoy/Beast, Lucas Till ("Hannah Montana: The Movie") as Alex Summers/Havok, Zo� Kravitz ("Twelve") as Angel Salvadore, Jennifer Lawrence ("Winter's Bone") as Raven Darkholme/Mystique, and James McAvoy ("Atonement") as Professor Charles Xavier.
Okay, don't think about it until we're told it's okay to, then sound off below!

On September 21 & 22, 2013 Agnihotra practitioners from around the globe participated in a network of Agnihotra being performed on the September Equinox. The aim was to create a grid of Sacred Fires or 'firing the grid' and to ideally have two waves of Agnihotra fires moving around the planet (one for sunrise, one for sunset).
We received many responses from people all over the world informing their coordinates. We were amazed to find every continent represented, and people from Alaska to Africa, from Europe to U.S.A., Australia to Russia, Japan to Hawaii. There were more than 450 Meridiens of Longitude represented with Agnihotra Fires in more than 50 countries. There may have been more that we were unaware of.
