Breast Cancer
Heading toward greater (but not clinically definitely relevant) greater precision, there is nearly always a range of 1-3+ intensity which we may have to "average" (I have even used fractions such as 1.8+) into the various scoring models. And (1) one can grade the intensity with words (weak to moderate to strong staining of
nuclei...such as, "strong 95% positive"; 1-100 H score is "weak", 101-200 is moderate, & 201-300 is strong
) or (2) render a score that considers intensity & percentage of nuclei positive with such as a "quick score", "Q score", "H score", or an Allred score (AS), or even a more casual approach (just let your report be clear as to how you did it). For a "how to" of "eyeball", "H score", "Q score", "Quick score", "Allred score", etc. = HERE).

Lessons of the alphabet and arithmetic fell on deaf ears at Meto Primary School before the school lunch program existed. When Principal Justus Sempeta felt the students were not coming to school because of their hunger, he asked Integrity Worldwide for help. Today your donations provide school lunches three days a week.
Food prices have more than tripled, forcing families already suffering in poverty to choose which children will get to eat and which will go hungry. Many children that attend school do so hungry and their poor test scores prove it.
In 2011 Integrity Worldwide, at the request of the Meto School System started to offer free school lunches for all 700 students at Meto Primary School. For many students, it is the only meal they will receive all day. Integrity provides lunches three days each week thanks to your donations and the people of Meto, realizing the importance of school lunches, have started to contribute as well. Integrity Worldwide partners with the school and parents to feed the students.

It's an exciting time in the world of console steering wheels.
Two of the most recognised manufacturers are lifting the lid on their latest offerings.
Both wheels will be officially licensed and supported on the PS4, and of course in GTSport.
And both wheels are at the top end of what is available for console racing.
For those currently using a wheel, these two wheels set the latest benchmark if you are considering upgrading your setup.
For those thinking of taking the plunge for the first time, it constitutes a serious commitment to that decision, as both of these wheels will cost more than a pretty penny.
Fanatec recently announced their first ever officially licensed PS4 wheel - the CSL Elite Racing Wheel.
The details of this wheel are now fully revealed and it is already available for purchase.
And today Thrustmaster have announced their latest high end product for the PS4 - the T-GT.
The wraps are still on regarding the details for this wheel, but with E3 just a few days away we should be hearing more very soon.
First, considering we know all the details, let's take a look at the Fanatec.
The CSL Elite Series is a relatively new product which became available in the second half of 2016.
The series is comprised of three main components - a wheel base, a steering wheel, and a set of pedals.
The original steering wheel, known as the CSL P1 was developed for the XBox and PC market.
The newer version developed for the PS4, shown below, has seen some marked improvements in many areas.
This models wheel base now boasts some of the internals of the much praised Fanatec Clubsport V2.5 wheel base used by many PC sim racers.
The servo motor, electronics and power supply come straight from the V2.5, which means the new CSL Elite wheel base should offer an excellent force feedback experience.
The steering wheel itself is of course designed specifically with the PS4 in mind, and features higher quality materials and upgraded paddle shifters compared to the CSL P1 wheel.
It also includes exchangeable button caps with popular racing function symbols so you can mix and match the buttons to suit your personal settings.
Here is Fanatec's official marketing video highlighting all the features of the new model.
Fanatec's new steering wheel is currently only available in the EU and Australian markets, where starter kit bundles (wheel base + wheel, and entry level pedals) are available for €519.95 and $799.90 respectively.
For all the nitty gritty details and many more images, check out these links for the EU Fanatec site and the Australian Fanatec site.
Now, the Thrustmaster.
The very recently named T-GT was first seen displayed at the Copperbox GTSport reveal event last year.
There has been much speculation around the internet regarding this wheel since its first appearance, but unfortunately we still have no official details.
Gran-turismo.com described the wheel as a "special eSport model featuring even more high-end specs than the T500RS", which strongly suggests this wheel will be Thrustmasters flagship product.
As the name suggests, this wheel has been designed with GTSport in mind.
It is assumed the 4 colour coded turn dials on the wheel match the on-the-fly options available in-game, (namely Brake Balance, Fuel Mapping, Traction Control, and Torque Distribution), and will allow for quick access and adjustment mid-race.
Only time will tell.
But of course the biggest speculation has been regarding the insides of that wheel base.
Could this be a direct drive wheel, or is it belt drive?
And then there's the other important questions.
When will it be released?
And how much will it cost?
Take a look at Inside Sim Racing's AussieStig's first impressions after seeing it at the Copperbox event.
Thrustmaster have announced that the wheel will be launched at E3, which is just around the corner, so hopefully some of these questions will be answered soon.
Keep an eye out here for an update post as details are revealed.
So, some food for thought.
An insight into what's on offer in the latest world of top end console steering wheels.
It's also worth considering that both of these wheels will come with available options.
Interchangeable wheel rims, pedal sets plus upgrades, and accessories such as shifters and handbrakes.
And for this sort of money it's wise to take some time, do your research, and look into all the options to find that combination you'll be happy with.
No doubt some will feel these types of products are well above any budget they would consider.
But for those looking to take their hobby to the next level, perhaps these two wheels are just what you've been waiting for.
I'm really looking forward to the derails of the T-GT. Hopefully it's a big enough advancement over the T500, for me to want it. Or I may just have to go for the CSL Elite.
I'm looking at getting a new wheel.
And at this point, for me, the Fanatec has its nose infront.
But obviously I'm waiting to see what the T-GT has to offer.
I note Thrustmaster has posted a new video on its Facebook page.
It's a bit of a "guess the anagram" game, but it can be watched in the link below.
I don't confess to know what "T-LIN" or "T-DFB" is, but "T-40VE" and "T-MCE" sound very similar to their latest PC only wheel, the appropriately named "TS-PC".
The details of this wheel can be found in this press release.
So should some/many/all of the internals from the TS-PC be what's hiding under the wheel base cover of the T-GT, then I guess it will be belt drive, and not direct drive as some have speculated.
Not that this is a bad thing.
It will still surpass TM's current best PS4 wheel, the T500RS.
The clip also shows a new set of pedals, the T3PGTs, which could be interesting.
Whether those pedals are competitive with Fanatec pedals remains to be seen.
Oh, it should also be noted that Thrustmaster have announced a new collaboration with a "world-class automotive supplier."
What this means at this stage is unknown.
Fanatech have a Porsche and BMW wheel rim available.
Thrustmaster currently have many Ferrari rims available.
So what this new collaboration could bring is exciting.
Roll on E3.
Well, the wraps are now off the T-GT.
Thrustmaster have issued a press release and opened a dedicated website for their new wheel.
And there is plenty of info. to digest.
But let's get down to the nuts and bolts.
The wheel is belt drive.
It seems to have similar internals to the TS-PC, but with some upgrades, inlcuding additional force feedback features exclusive to GTSport.
The wheel itself is heavily designed for use in GTSport.
The pedals are a new design.
And the big one ....
"The T-GT will be available for purchase to coincide with the launch of the game Gran Turismo Sport, at a suggested retail price of £699.99."
Here is a link to the press release.
And here is a link to the dedicated site where you can read about all the features of this wheel.
£700! That's quite a lot for a wheel that isn't direct-drive. I need to look into the details. It must be something special to be that price.
Yeah. You are paying for the GT Logo. LoL
As I mentioned somewhere earlier in this thread, Thrustmaster suggested they would announce a new collaboration with a "world-class automotive supplier" at E3.
As it turns out, that company is Sparco.
I heard quite recently of a Sparco gaming rig/cockpit being released.
And now it seems they also have 2 steering wheels in the pipeline.
Even though this clip below uses an Xbox wheel base, it's worth checking out as it gives a quick look at both wheels and the rig.
Well that didn't take long.
A review from a reputable YouTube "sim. racing" channel has landed.
Check out what Shaun from The Simpit* has to say about the CSL Elite for the PS4.
(*An excellent channel and well worth a look)
Oh! i hadn't heard of this channel before. it's Shaun from Inside Sim Racing. Exchanged a few messages with them in the past@Tassie_tiger
Yeh, it's a good channel.
Shaun seems to mainly show up there now, with John and Darin on Inside Sim Racing.
One of the other ones I keep an eye on is Sim Racing Paddock.
John from Inside Sim Racing has uploaded his review of the Fanatec CSL Elite wheel for PS4.
Check out his thoughts in the clip below.
I think I want the CSL Elite wheel. But until my current T500rs breaks, I will wait, and save up
We've probably seen enough, but I'll post one more review of the Fanatec CSL wheel.
I've posted reviews from 2 of my 3 favourite sim racing YouTube channels, so I may as well complete the set.
After this, the wait begins for the Thrustmaster T-GT reviews.
Anyway, checkout what William from the Sim Racing Paddock has to say about the new Fanatec PS4 wheel.
Looks a lot more expensive when you see it in Australian Dollars@Tassie_tiger
You best shop around... that is one hefty price tag at the higher end of the market place.
Swiss prices are ranging between lower end of 700 and low 900 Swiss Francs at various online retailers.
900 is par to that price you have listed.
Lets hope you have more price comparisons there.. you don't want to be paying that price.
Yeh, it's more expensive than I was picturing.
I still have my old G27, even though I now have the G29.
I had visions of me trading in both wheels at EB Games to help soften the blow.
I imagine that would make the purchase of the T-GT for me cheaper than getting the Fanatec.
But they don't seem to be advertising the T-GT, and everyone in the store looks blank when I ask the question.
So I don't know.
I think I still prefer the Fanatec, particularly for the pedal options.
But I'm keen on seeing some reviews from the reputable guys on YouTube about the Thrustmaster.
It's still a big spend if you go that route..
I'm happy with my current setup for the time being.
I originally had the G25 back in the GT5/6 days... pretty sure that the little plastic coder wheel has a small crack, which makes the wheel useless. Not compatible with the PS4.. well not at the time.. believe you can now get adapters.
Anyways, I purchased a Thrustmaster T300, which is a solid design and has a good feel to it. Using my G25 pedals as they were already setup.. just bought an adapter from the States for 20 bucks and it all works together like a dream. The spec is the same as the older wheels.. same degree of Rotation and the same degree of Pedal steps.
I may look into a more expensive wheel when this setup starts to get dated.
But, I'm more than happy with my setup.
Not so happy with the Cat sleeping on my Race Seat - leather and claws - only going to be one outcome.
No support for FANATEC CSL PS4 WHEEL as of demo release. The wheel and pedals work as far as inputs are concerned but there is ZERO FFB. On the controller input menu there are several Thrustmaster wheel setup and one Logitech G29 wheel setup. But there are NO FANATEC CSL ELITE setups.
Will this be resolved in the finished product?
Yeah that wheel should be fully compatible come release date. As the wheel is advertised as having exclusive GT Sport features.@ZenRazo
Apologies, but perhaps you read that as regarding the Thrustmaster T-GT.
As far as I know, the CLS doesn't offer anything special for GT Sport.
@ZenRazo, Fanatec recognise the lack of official support at this stage for GT Sport.
But they are working on it, assumably with SONY, so everything being equal, all should end well there.

(AP) — The 15 Marines and a Navy sailor killed in a plane crash Monday in Mississippi came from all over the country.
Six of the Marines and the sailor were from an elite Marine Raider battalion at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. Nine were based out of Stewart Air National Guard Base in Newburgh, New York, home of a Marine Aerial Refueling and Transport Squadron.
Wednesday, details began to trickle in about some of the victims. Among the first to be identified was Joseph Murray.
Investigators sift for clues in Mississippi military crash
Here's what we know so far:
Murray's family recalls him as a ukulele player, former surfer kid and deeply religious family man who excelled in the Marine Corps.
Terry Murray told reporters Wednesday the 26-year-old special operations Marine had been a surfer at Sandalwood High School in Jacksonville, Florida, who surprised his military veteran parents by joining the Marines.
The father said his son was at the center of family life and his Marine units, sharing his Christian faith by serving others and his country. Terry Murray said one Marine told him that Joseph hummed praise songs constantly on patrol.
"When Joseph stopped singing praises, they took their safeties off their weapons, because they immediately thought something was up," Terry Murray said.
Murray leaves a widow, Gayle, and four children — a five-year-old, a three-year-old, and twin one-year-olds.
"He loved to play his guitar and ukulele for us," Gayle Murray said in a statement. "What he wanted most in the world besides our happiness was to destroy evil on this earth.
Murray was stationed at Camp Lejeune.

Of bet and ball: Deciphering the new IPL bouncers
As crores ride on sevent edition of the Indian Premiere League, the game's lexicon has changed. Hemal Ashar hails the new game of hunters and punters and finds out what IPL now stands for
As new skeletons rattle wildly in cricket's closet, the auction for Indian Premiere league (IPL)-VII has gone off with a few ripples. If truth be told (sold) we think little will come out of the Mudgal Commission's latest report but then all these self-righteous experts claim that we must not resort to speculation.
Illustration/ Amit Bandre
Well, in that case we can just wait for that great day when names of capped and uncapped players are to be revealed. Meanwhile, we live in a world of taped conversations and tapped phone calls, underworld dons and strange collusions and we conclude that today, cricket makes strange betfellows. A whole new con game needs a new way of looking. Crores instead of scores, bet instead of bat, and sold instead of bowled. The new IPL stands for...
N Srinivasan, president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, chose to stay mum even after the finger went up against his son-in-law, Gurunath Meiyappan
I: Investigation, the word, has become simply another excuse for delaying tactics and sweeping-it-under-the-carpet sweep shots. Investigations into T20:20-murky-deals-aplenty-league, are not like a 20:20 contest which has a definite end. A bit like a Test that meanders to a dull draw. Yaani ki wait till all goes thanda, and continue the betting dhandha.
N: N Srinivasan, the big daddy of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, (BCCI) says nothing even after the finger goes up against son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan in the latest report. When the small-time punter sees bigwigs walk free in betting scandals, he thinks to himself; Srini's-son-in-law karein toh only khel aur mein karoon toh go to jail?
Of late, Dawood Ibrahim's name has also cropped up in the match-fixing scam
D: Dawood Ibrahim or Don. His name crops up in mysterious and shadowy ways all through. In a more innocent age, one knew a Don in cricket as Don Bradman, today the Don is Dawood. Telephone conversations, tapped phone lines, henchmen... do the bhaigiri, Gangnam style.
I: Intrigue it is when Mintu alias something, and Tintu alias somebody else, bookies with such names rule. And we have not even come to the honey traps whose vital statistics are not part of Wisden, the cricket followers' Bible. And trapping in cricket was about trapping the batsman (LBW). Stoooopid cupid made you fall in love with cricket.
Gurunath Meiyappan
A: An auction conducted recently commanded huge sums for IPL-VII. Crores seemed to be the score, with the 'boys', like commentators call them, being bought 'n' sold in the great cricket market. What did we say about off-the-field a(u)ction? Certainly more interesting than on-field.
N: Names are the newbuzzword here and who cares about the game. Some names or the others are always 'leaked' (hush hush) selectively and others are part of speculation. Then, some experts will say solemnly: cannot reveal names without solid evidence. Inevitably, these names will be forgotten till yet another scandal bursts upon us like a fiery bouncer.
P: Probe is what the police usually do and these seem omnipresent today. From committees, commissions, experts and journalists, everybody seems to be involved in cricket muck probing these days. And you thought only bowlers were probing line and length.
R: Rate stands for the prices at which cricketers are being bought these days. And don't fall for all those wailing about a crisis of credibility for cricket today. The only crisis some have is where to stash all the money they are making from the IPL. Page 3 is about 'muah muah' while cricket is about 'moolah moolah'.
E: Escape routes are being charted even as the bat meets the ball. When things get murky-murky and way too difficult to get shirky-shirky, escape is all one can think of from dark deeds. Players today factor in fleeing and escaping from unknown enemies and under-worldly dangers. Yeh under-world ki
baat hai.
M: Mahendra Singh Dhoni aka Mahi, the Indian captain, who earned plenty of epithets like 'Captain Cool', 'That's the way Mahi Re', is now under a cloud with some saying his name has cropped up with regards to fixing. We hear the beleaguered skipper is not saying anything now but dhama dham Mahi needs to clear the air like he clears the rope in games.
I: Information is what is being bandied about these days. Information about what the Commission has said, who leaked out what information to the bookies, what information were the judges looking for… an information mania seems to have gripped this game as cricket goes on its wicket, wicked ways.
E: Evidence, part of the sleuthing lexicon, is now more a part of cricket speak more than overthrows or cheeky singles. From bare-all starlets promising evidence of shady goings on in bedrooms and boardrooms, to arrested bookies giving some 'evidence', the proof of the cricket pudding is in the betting.
R: Radar. On the radar seems to be yet another phrase that has overtaken the 'cricket, a game of glorious uncertainties'. Somebody or the other seems to be on the radar these days. Owners, officials and umpires even, in connection with some shadowy goings on. Jhapaak, fixing, fixing fixing, gillli, gilli yaaaa…
L: Lawyers are in cricket business these days as almost everyone seems to have lawyered up. Big wig lawyers now have cricketers and team owners as clients. Sue silly, we are to think they will talk. Talk to my lawyer is all they say. Don't like what you are reading? Talk to my lawyer.
E: Envelope. We hear there is a 'sealed' envelope containing names of six players which could lead further 'revelations'. One is tempted to sing… chitthi aayi, aayi hai, aayi hai… like they did in the old Hindi movie days to the authority, which is supposed to gasp, open this envelope.
A: Ankeet Chavan and Ajit Chandila, along with maverick S Sreesanth, found themselves behind not-so-intoxicating bars the last time around in the betting scandal. First, it was stumped! Off with the bails, today, it may be off to jails.
G: Gurunath Meiyappan, BCCI honcho Srini's son-in-law, has been called owner and chief principal of Chennai Super Kings by the Mudgal Commission. These Guru's teachings are not to be followed by one 'n' all, let us safely assume. Meanwhile appan, chappan Meiyappan…today we sing.
U: Underworld is not so much a dirty word but an operative word in cricket these days. Catch dropped? Blame it on the underworld. Spectators? The underworld is in disguise sitting there. Batsman bowled? Maybe, told by the underworld. Underworld rules, bas kya?
E: Enthusiast, they said he was. Gurunath Meiyappan was earlier dubbed simply an enthusiast by Srini & Co when his name cropped up in the fixing scandal. Today, enthusiast has turned into de-facto owner. Nothing is what it seems these days. For cricket fans, the truth has gone with the Vindoo, oops wind, we mean.

Is that a Nativity set or a cake? Rome exhibits unique Nativity scenes
The star that guided the three Wisemen has already arrived to Rome. It actually stopped at Piazza del Popolo, where an exhibition houses more than 150 Nativity scenes.
Director "100 Presepiâ?
"The idea came up in the 70's, when the tradition of setting up Nativity scene was being wiped out by that of the Christmas tree. My father, the journalist Mario Menaglia, was quite concerned, because it was an Italian tradition and also because he was very religious. So with 10 artist friends he started to organize the exhibition in the parking lot of Villa Borghese in Rome.â?
There are Nativity scenes from 31 different countries and 11 Italian regions. Peruvians celebrate the birth of God with songs, whereas in Croatia a shepherd announces that the Messiah has finally come to world.
Meanwhile, Our Lady covers the Baby Jesus with a blanket and in Slovenia everyone follows the scene. The three Wisemen arrive from Belgium this time with their gifts for the Baby. And very thoughtfully a donkey from Panama warms the little one. From all over the world, people come to worship the Son of God.
Director "100 Presepiâ?
"We received 450 petitions to participate, so the selection was really difficult. In the end, the works exhibited share a great quality, and that is what I like, the fact that it has become a wonderful display of handcraft. The theme is always the Nativity, but they are so very well done that they really are works of art.â?
The Italian displays have all different sizes, shapes, and materials. Even though this one may seem small, it also celebrates Christmas. And while we can't recognize anything except an old set of keys in this other one, all the personages are present. Here, the Nativity set is built with forks, spoons and knifes. And this other one from Sicily, uses beach-stones.
Going north, the news go unnoticed in Rome. But, in the middle of the daily rush, Christmas' main characters show their faces. The celebrations are one of sweetest moments of the year, as this Nativity scenes made of candy and biscuits show. In the exhibition there's a Nativity set for all tastes-this year it will impossible not to find the way to Bethlehem.

I sat at the kitchen table and sliced my fork through the leftover half of the double layer cake. Funfetti, mmm. A party in my mouth. To my right, a cup of frozen yogurt; to my left, a box of gourmet cupcakes.
As I raised the fork to my mouth, I frowned and pondered aloud, "I just don't get it. I usually eat so healthy." I stuffed the cake in my mouth. Oh yes, a party, indeed. "Why can't I lose any weight?"
My friend snorted and we dissolved into a fit of laughter. I'd come over to drown my sorrows in sugar and help eat up her birthday leftovers while procrastinating on the real work I should be doing. We found ourselves giggling hysterically over nonsense and immersed in a conversation that started with comparing relationships to cupcakes but somehow meandered its way down the path toward contemplating the meaning of life.
"If I died tomorrow, I'd be pretty pissed off that this is all my life amounted to," I commented soberly, looking down at the frosting encased crumb trail in front of me. We laughed it off, and talked about the things we would change if we could wake up tomorrow with slightly different lives (like smaller tummies, handsome, rich, country-singing husbands, private jets, a frozen yogurt machine with 50 available flavors, and other such things that
mature, ambitious, well-adjusted women our age wish for).
In retrospect, though, I've wondered if that comment were really true. Sure, I'd be disappointed for all the things I didn't get to do, but am I truly dissatisfied with what I've done with my life so far? I spent a good amount of time mulling it over and letting morbid thoughts cross my mind like what they'd say at my funeral (don't act like I'm some freak, you know you've done it, too). I've since decided that I don't really feel that way about my life, but that the comment was only a dark reflection of the phase I was going through, recently.
You see, September was a rough month for me. August a little bit, too. It's why I've hardly written on this blog lately; I felt uninspired. Recurring health issues left me virtually incapacitated for weeks at a time; I forced myself to power through most of it, but was left physically and emotionally drained. I spent a week traveling for work (brief synopsis: Memphis is not my favorite city, and if you go there you may find yourself driving 45 minutes across the city just to find a Whole Foods because you are so sick of fried food and just want some goddamn spinach!) but I'll tell you more about that another day.
I had an incredibly important application due and an aerial performance for which I was ill-prepared. I couldn't sleep at night due to the stress. And in the thick of it all, I tried to rekindle my dating life; I met a guy, we hit it off instantly, I thought it was all peachy and then the world was like, "HA! Just kidding, you don't have a dating life". I mean, really, what fun would it be for the rest of the world if Kaleena actually settled down and started a normal dating pattern? I think it would let a lot of people down. So, for now, the latest will go down on the list as the Mac'n'Cheese Man of September 2012. But I digress…
I had a lot going and I was becoming depressed. Nothing seemed to be going right, I had too much on my plate, and I felt like a failure from every angle.
Have you ever walked past a rose bush and noticed that it's not until a moment after passing it that you smell the sweet scent of its petals? I realized that yesterday, as I walked past the blooming white rose bush outside my office. And in that moment it occurred to me that sometimes life is like that: we pass by things so quickly that we don't stop to appreciate them when they're right in front of us. Every day I walk past that rose bush but I am so preoccupied with the phone call I need to make, the conversation I just had, the mounting to-do list, that I sometimes notice its fragrance only as a passing afterthought.
Although life recently has had its challenges, not every waking moment has actually been misery. I spent time at the beach, shared some great laughs with friends, and went on a few adventures. I became so bogged down by the stress of everything else, though, that I didn't stop to truly appreciate those sweet moments. I've realized that sometimes I'm too hard on myself and I occasionally have a tendency to squander the present in concern for the future. While it's okay to work hard toward a goal and fret a bit over how to make it all happen, there is no sense in wasting what we have right now in the present. Because, really, isn't the present all we're guaranteed?
So tomorrow, when I walk past that bush, I am going to be one cliché mother f***er, and stop and smell the roses. From now on, I will focus on living in the moment and being happy and proud of each step along the way. Because if I die tomorrow, I don't want to be some pissed off ghost eating cake and regretting my life (okay, so I probably wouldn't mind the cake part).

Knoxville for President!
If you haven't seen Jackass Number Two, yet, because you think it's too stupid, or you're too sophisticated for such low-brow trailer-trash humor, you're missing out on something great. Oh it's exactly what you think it is, and less — there's no argument here for artistry or any other socially redeeming quality — far from it. Seeing Steve O take a beer enema and Bam Margera plunge it out of his butt with a plumber's helper is not going to make you a better person. No sir. But it will make you laugh your ass off.
A surprising number of mainstream film reviewers have given the Jackass crew kudos for their latest collection of stunts — the guy in the New York Times went so far as to invoke an esthetic parallel to Dadaism in the absurd performances the boys engage in. Yeh well, we're very impressed with your education New York Times Guy, but this ain't Dada. If anything it's vaudeville, with a good old fashioned dose of travelling carnival side show — and that's what makes it so easy to enjoy. You can turn your head off as soon as the opening credits roll and just sit back and marvel at the insane set pieces rolling out, one after another.
It's a little like being back on your grammar school playground watching guys engaging in competitive gross outs — there's an endearing quality to the simple kid-like way they present their stunts: they usually start them by introducing themselves and then giving the title of the stunt, "I'm Steve O and this is the Fart Mask". Like kids, they want to impress you with what they are willing to do, but they also want to impress each other with how far they can push their limits. And the stunts themselves go beyond what any kid could imagine. I'm not even going to talk about "How to Milk a Horse."
I'm amazed by the level of commitment these guys bring to their work. They're entertainers in the truest sense of the word because all that matters is the integrity of the bit. Their honor comes in doing it right: there's one stunt early in the movie where they've rigged one of those carnival gizmos that you hit with a hammer to make a weight fly up and ring a bell — except Bam Margera is supposed to hang his bare ass over the top and get hit in the balls by the weight. Margera protests that it should really be a big golden dildo that flies up into his anus. So they do that and it's hilarious. I was listening to see how many guys in the audience were laughing at the sight (not too many). Like I said, commitment to the bit.
Some reviews have referred to the Jackass crew as "Merry Pranksters", alluding to Ken Kesey and his crowd of self-involved counter culty acid freaks from the 60's. Nothing could be farther from the mark. These guys aren't "counter culture", they're not protesting anything. They're entertainers and their work is completely self-contained. We know nothing about them before or after the stunt. All I know about Johnny Knoxville is that he likes to get drunk and have people kick him in the nuts. What else do I need to know?

The Harry Potter and "Lego House" music video star is featured on the song "Lightning." The track is off the soundtrack for the British animated film, Postman Pat: The Movie (he voices the Josh, the main character's rival, in the film).
We're joking, but not really. One song does not make an artist, but we have to admit we're quite impressed with Rupert's voice. It's actually quite good, and he sounds like a shoe-in for any boy band. "Lightning" itself is a catchy pop tune and sounds a bit like an Ed Sheeran song.
We think this is the perfect opportunity for Rupert and Ed to make a sequel to Ed's "Lego House" music video. Maybe they can do a duet? Someone say yes. Please say yes.

Joey and Chandler would be DELIGHTED with this news!
It's called The B-Movie because the producers couldn't get the rights to the name Baywatch, but nevermind. The film is going to show former Baywatch actors play exaggerated versions of themselves where they are undercover CIA agents using the film as a cover.
Yes, you read that right. CIA agents in the form of Pamela Anderson and David Hasselhof – it's genius.
In order to cover up its Baywatch origins, director Chris Cotton says there'll be explosions any time someone mentions Baywatch on-screen to cover it up.
We can't wait!

Making the Beracha
From Halachipedia
- One should sit while reciting Birkat HaMazon. Some say one should also sit for Al HaMichya. It's preferable to sit for Boreh Nefashot, but in cases of need one may say it standing. [1]
Clean hands
- One shouldn't make a Bracha while one's hands are dirty rather one should wipe one hands. [2]
If one Mistakenly ate Without a Beracha
- If one already swallowed his food but plans to continue eating, he should recite a bracha before doing so.[3] He should not recite a beracha if he doesn't plan to continue eating. [4] In such a situation, if possible, one should say a bracha and eat a little more. [5]
- If someone ate food without reciting the bracha beforehand, but realized before swallowing, the proper procedure will depend on which type of food he put in his mouth. If it is a food that will become disgusting if spit out, he should put it to the side of his mouth and recite a bracha. If it will not be disgusting to spit it out, he should spit it out and recite a bracha before putting it back into his mouth. [6]
- If one drank a liquid but forgot to make a beracha before it, and remembered before swallowing it, he should swallow the liquid and not say a beracha rishona on what he already drank. [7] One can, however, think the beracha in his mind while the liquid is still in his mouth. [8] Others advise spitting it out as long as it is not a pressing situation. [9]
- Even if one omitted the bracha rishona, he should still recite a bracha achrona if he ate or drank a sufficient amount.[10]
Preparing the food
- The food must be in front of the one making the Bracha, otherwise, the Bracha doesn't have what to be effective upon and one would need to be a new Bracha. [11] If the food that's brought afterwards is of the same kind as the one that the bracha was made upon or it has the same Bracha as the food that we made a Bracha on originally. [12]
Text of the bracha
Shem Umalchut
- For every Bracha it's very important to say the words as they were established by the men of the Great Assembly. Words that are crucial to the Bracha and if one misses one of them, the Bracha doesn't count: Baruch, either Hashem or Elokenu, Melech, and HaOlam. [13] If the Bracha has a conclusion of Baruch Atta Hashem… then the name of Hashem is also crucial. [14]
- ↑ S"A 183:10 writes that one must sit while saying Birkat HaMazon and some say one should it while saying Al HaMichya. So agree the achronim including Yalkut Yosef 183:7. See Mishna Brurah 183:35 who writes that this is according to all opinions. Kaf HaChaim 183:51 and Ben Ish Chai Chukat 4 write that it's proper to say Boreh Nefashot seated. VeZot HaBracha (pg 8) writes that if there's a need one may be lenient and say it standing.
- ↑ Kaf Hachaim 158:53 Shaar haTzion 181:32, VeZot HaBracha (pg 8)
- ↑ Berachot 51a compares one who eats without a bracha to one who ate garlic, causing him to give off an offensive odor. Should he eat more garlic and increase the odor? One who transgressed by eating without a bracha certainly should not transgress more! This is brought down as the halacha in Rambam 4:2, Tur S"A. 167:8 and Vezot Habracha pg. 88.
- ↑ Berachot 51a quotes the opinion of Ravina that even if you are finished eating you can recite a bracha. He brings a proof from the fact that a convert or baal keri (machloket Rashi and Tosfot there) can say a bracha on his tevila in the mikveh after the tevila. The gemara rejects his opinion and distinguishes between the two because the convert or baal keri could not have said the bracha before but the person who took a drink could have. Rashba Berachot 50b s.v. "vihatanya" quotes the Raavad who paskins like Ravina that even if one finished eating he may recite a bracha (see Maamar Mordechai 172:2 who writes that the Rashba's version of the Raavad contradicts the Raavad's own note on Rambam Berachot 8:12). However, Shaar Hatziyun 172:5 writes that this opinion of the Raavad is a daat yachid which we do not accept. Therefore, S"A. 167:8 rules that if he is not going to continue eating he should not recite a bracha. Yalkut Yosef Berachot pg. 118 and Aruch Hashulchan 167:18 agree.
- ↑ Magen Avraham 167:21 writes that, if possible, one should say a bracha and eat a little more in order to satisfy the opinion of the Raavad quoted in the Rashba. M.B 167:49, Aruch Hashulchan 167:18, and Yalkut Yosef Berachot pg. 118 agree. Rabbi Meir Mazuz (Ish Matzliach 167: footnote 7) says based on the Beit Yosef that this is not necessary. Shaar Hatziyun 167:45 and Shaare Tesvhua 206:2 add that if done immediately this could help retroactively to correct having eaten without a bracha. Therefore, Or Litzion 2:46:12 and Vezot Habracha pg. 88 say that in a situation where you are saying a bracha on what you are going to eat, you should have in mind to cover what you ate already.
- ↑ Chazon Ovadia Berachot page 68. Berachot 50b quotes three beraitot regarding what do in a situation when one ate before reciting a bracha. These beraitot appear to contradict each other. One says to swallow, one says to spit out, and the third says to put the food to the side of one's mouth. The gemara explains that one should swallow if it is a drink, you should spit the food out if it won't be disgusting to eat it after that, and you should put it to the side if it will be disgusting to spit out. This is quoted as halacha in Rambam Berachot 8:12 and S"A. 172:1-2. Vezot Habracha pg. 88, Chazon Ovadia pg. 68. M"B 172:7 explains that the reason that one must spit out foods that will not be disgusting is because the gemara teaches based on a pasuk in Tehillim that when reciting a bracha one's mouth must be void of any object or food, so that it is "filled" only with God's praise.
- ↑ Chazon Ovadia Berachot page 68, Shulchan Aruch 172:1. The Rosh (Brachot 7:33) quotes the Raavad who explains that when the gemara says one should "swallow the water," it means that he should swallow the water and then say a bracha rishona. He explains that since he remembered before he swallowed, he can swallow and then say a bracha. This situation is different than remembering that one did not say a bracha until after he has completely finished eating because in this case he remembered while the water was still in his mouth. He notes, however, that if one has more water, he should spit out the water, say a bracha, and drink the water that he has. According to some, this is the opinion of the Rambam in Berachot 8:12 as well. However, see Chazon Ovadia Berachot pg. 69 who proves otherwise. Biur Halacha 172:1 s.v. "Viayno" writes that ideally one should be strict for the Raavad to spit out the water if he has more. Vezot Habracha pg. 88 agrees. Although Rama 172:1 follows the Rosh, the S"A 172:1, M"B 172:5, and Eliya Rabba 172:1 say one should not recite a bracha rishona if he is not going to drink more (see a list of other poskim who hold this way in the Shaar Hatziyun 672:5).
- ↑ Chazon Ovadia Berachot page 70-71, Ben Ish Chai Matot 14, Kaf Hachayim 172:1, Pri Megadim M.Z. 172:2 and A.A. 172:1, Ketzot Hashulchan 55:9.

How Did The English Experience At Colonization In Ireland Affect English Colonization In America
In what ways might the English colonial experience in Ireland have shaped their expectations about the colonial experience in America?
- print Print
- list Cite
The English colonial experience in Ireland, which began around 1162, intensified under Henry VIII, from the House of Tudor, in the 1500s. In 1542, he created the title King of Ireland, and under the Tudors, English law was imposed in Ireland. In the 1600s, wars to intensify English control of Ireland caused death and destruction, leading to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Irish people. Henry VIII had become Protestant in 1533 after separating himself from the Roman Catholic church, and the religious divide between England and Ireland intensified their conflict (particularly after the Test Act of 1762 barred Catholics from holding public office). Over time, English law denied Catholics rights and land ownership.
This type of colonial administration shaped the expectations of the English towards their settlement in America. It made English settlers regard the Native Americans as inferior heathens, much as the English regarded the Irish as heathen. In addition, the English were accustomed to using mass slaughter as a method to enforce their political and legal authority, and English settlers in America turned to the same techniques in their treatment of Native Americans. Just as the English insisted on Protestantism in Ireland and were unwilling to accept any form of syncretism (or blending of Irish and English religions and traditions), so did English settlers in the New World also try to enforce their religion and culture on Native Americans without regard to existing Native American traditions. English settlers tried to enslave Native Americans, but when they found that Native Americans died in captivity or resisted captivity, the English in the Americans turned to enslaving Africans. Their experience in Ireland taught the English to enforce their sense of superiority on other peoples, using force to subjugate others.
English colonization of Ireland, which stretched as far back as 1100, intensified many of their beliefs about themselves and about "the other." In particular, Ireland provided them with a model for expropriating land, and a justification for doing so. The English argued that the Irish did not improve their land through the type of cultivation that was becoming dominant in England, so they claimed that they were justified in taking it.
Over time, Anglo-Norman Irish political leaders grew restless, and the series of wars, beginning in the sixteenth century, demonstrated to the English that they could subdue a hostile people, and discipline them as a labor force, if they were willing to use enough force. Cromwell's actions against Ireland demonstrate the lengths to which the English were willing to go.
As thousands of English settlers streamed into Ireland, the English developed a model of exploitation that would be transported to its colonies in America. Colonies could serve as both markets for English goods and suppliers of raw materials. Native cultures could be destroyed or subjugated, and colonies could be profitable.
The Irish experience also convinced Englishmen of their own superiority over people that did not live as they did. Many of the tropes used to describe "savages" in the New World had been used for years to describe the Irish.

Emraan Hashmi to do a documentary on cancer
Emraan Hashmi will soon begin work on a documentary that he hopes will help parents of cancer-stricken children
A week ago, Emraan Hashmi released his book, 'The Kiss of Life — How a Superhero and My Son Defeated Cancer', which chronicles the actor's struggle with his son's (Ayaan) cancer and why it's important to keep hope and not let the disease get the better of you. Now, Emraan is planning a full-fledged documentary on cancer.

Emraan Hashmi with son Ayaan
Talking about his plans, the actor says, "I am extending the book into a documentary. I think there is no full-fledged documentary that looks at both sides of cancer. It will not just be about the medical aspect but also the various treatments available and how we can change the lifestyle."
Also read: Emraan Hashmi's son turns 'Iron Man'
The actor also reveals that he is turning a producer. "I have written a book. It was a new experience for me. Now, I would love to get into production. After 'Azhar', I will turn producer. It is very essential to have your say in the process of making a film. Although, I have worked with great producers and have been part of creative aspects, it is always good to have a say on every aspect of movie production."

Curious to see what would happen, on their birthday their father loaded the pessimist's room with every game and toy imaginable. The optimist's room he loaded with horse manure.
That evening the father passed by his pessimist son's room and found him surrounded by his new gifts, crying bitterly.
"Why are you crying?" asked the father.
"Because my friends are going to be jealous, I'm going to have to read all these instructions before I can do anything with all this stuff, I'm going to constantly need batteries and eventually, all my toys will get broken," moaned the pessimist twin.
As the father passed his optimist son's room, he found him dancing for joy in the manure pile.
"What are you so happy about?" asked the father.
"I just know there has to be a pony in here somewhere!" answered the optimist twin.

Win People to Your Way of Thinking
By action | August 21, 2008
Have you ever thought to yourself, "I can't believe that person just said that." or, "I wonder if that person knows how terrible that sounded."
The book "How to Win Friends & Influence People" is my 3rd favorite book of all time.
The Carnegie Institute reports that even if your chosen profession is as technical as engineering, only 15% of your financial success is due to ones technical knowledge, and the other 85% is due to skill in human nature – to personality and the ability to lead people.
It's really a book about being the best person you can be so that people will feel comfortable in your presence. In a nutshell, it's what to say to people in any situation and what to avoid saying to make the most out of life. Carnegie uses hundreds of real life examples and stories that are fun to read. He takes you back to actual events and news stories from the 1920's all the way up till modern day that draw the reader in and offer insightful nuggets of advice.
Here is 12 ways to win people to your way of thinking:
- The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it.
- Show respect for the other person's opinion. Never say, "You're wrong."
- If you are wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically.
- Begin in a friendly way.
- Get the other person saying "yes, yes" immediately.
- Let the other person do a great deal of the talking.
- Let the other person feel that the idea is his or hers.
- Try honestly to see things from the other person's point of view.
- Be sympathetic with the other person's ideas and desires.
- Appeal to the nobler motives.
- Dramatize your ideas.
- Throw down a challenge.
I hope you find this information valuable. If you have not already read the book "How to Win Friends & Influence People" run out RIGHT NOW and buy it. It will not only change you but it will change your entire team forever.
Successfully yours,
J.R. Jackson

A Brief History
We big banged in 1977 as a tiny sub shop selling 5 different subs, homemade fries and fountain pop. Our name was Starship Subs It was cold out and the country was in a recession so we started making soup and became Starship Restaurant. Our menu now boasted 11 cold subs, beef, sausage, chicken and over 120 homemade types of soup
In 1985 with the Bears Super Bowl season we realized the potential in catering and became Starship Restaurant & Catering. We adopted the slogan, "We Deliver, Anytime, Anywhere" because now we were able to service ALL of Chicagoland.
In 2015 we added BYOB for our restaurant diners. Also adding a an alcohol beverage service to our catering and are now Starship Restaurant Catering & Events! Looking forward to serving you sometime somewhere in this universe. Live Long & Prosper!
Our motto was then and is now- "keep the customers interest as our best interest"
and of course "serve only what we like to eat"
and of course "serve only what we like to eat"
We got sued by Paramount a while back. It was the most fun lawsuit we've ever been involved in. In the Tribune, on the radio, in Cranes and reported for fun throughout the country-Read the full story here.

I am not realize someone who pays for convenience. I prefer the old style of MMOs with challenge which is hard to find nowadays. However, I see no reason why we can't pay for INconveniences in the store....
These are some things I would love to see in LOTRO, and would pay for in the store:
1. UI Option to remove visual display of numeric mob levels... I'd rather go by the text color alone
2. UI Option to remove radar entirely... currently I have it hidden behind an opaque chat window
3. Non-aggro breaks immersion. A character option for "no diminishing aggro radius" for mobs would be great! I know aggro is determined by the server, so it will need to be some sort of buff on the character. Perhaps a store item that places the buff on the character until removed by some complementary item?
4. Similar to #3, a character option for no experience gained when killing mobs or completing quests below player level. Different from the tortoise stone in that it doesn't require a slot and is a permanent buff (debuff?) to the character until undone with another item.
5. Option to scale down player damage to lower level mobs in proportion to player level vs. mob level. Also, scale up damage from lower-level mobs.
6. Ability to level up multiple professions simultaneously. Whichever ones we want. Seriously, I would pay BIG for this option as I am sure many other players as well. I could see paying $100 for this account-wide.
EDIT: 7. UI Option to turn down the game's lighting when in the night cycle. It's way too bright at night, a problem with most MMOs.
Those are some thoughts, anyway.

I'm participating in 20-something Bloggers' Blog Swap. My swap partners are Cate and Maureen from What We Covet. Please read my guest post on So You Think You Can Dance over there! Here are Cate and Maureen's thoughts on summer reading.
As our summer vacations come to an end, we begin to realize what we're about to lose for the next nine or ten months: warm breezes, Sno Cones, trips to the beach, and free time. Mostly free time, because when you live in North Carolina, those other three things actually come around with some frequency. However, with the loss of our free time, we find ourselves unable to enjoy them.
Above all these, we mourn the departure of our pleasure reading. Below we share our picks for summer reading while we all have just a little more time to indulge our literary fancies.
Summer is the time for to tackle books that are just too big to fit in between Very Literary Literature, Volume I and Very Literary Literature, Volume II. Right now I've been working through George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series, a sprawling epic that contains more characters I want to strangle than characters I do not. I have to read as much of it as possible at once because of the innumerable characters and complicated everythings.
I am also a fan of some forms of literature that many people disapprove of–like comics! A season where no elite scholarly types look down their noses at me is the best season, and one in which I may finally catch up on, say, Fullmetal Alchemist. However, it is important to remember to read only one type of comic at a time, because accidentally reading Gunnerkrigg Court from right to left will make it too much trouble for a lazy summer day.
My first preference is for something that I wouldn't be forced to read during the school year or that I wouldn't read in public (I'm looking in your direction, Sweet Valley High). Beyond that, I have only one requirement: that the subject is so engrossing I can't put the book down. For some people, that's Dan Brown's latest code-cracking, scandal-mongering page turner. For me, it's often one of the seven volumes of the Harry Potter series or a biography by Lady Antonia Fraser. Not only did she pen the lovely Marie Antoinette: The Journey (upon which Sofia Coppola's 2006 Marie Antoinette was based), but she has also covered the lives of Mary, Queen of Scots; all six of Henry VIII's wives; Oliver Cromwell; and others. If you care anything about compelling, well-researched biographies, she's your girl. When I'm feeling less historically inclined but still want to read non-fiction, I turn to memoirs of current pop-culture fixtures, such as my imaginary husband Scott Weiland's Not Dead and Not for Sale: The Earthling Papers: A Memoir or James Lipton's memoir-slash-Hollywood guide book Inside Inside. And on the rare occasions when those books won't keep me occupied? I always fall back on my trusty trashy romance novels–particularly the ones written by Sabrina Jeffries, of course!
Maureen and Cate each hold a BFA in Creative Writing from an institution that shall remain nameless in order to protect the innocent who tried to teach them. Their aversion to actual work knows very few bounds, as evidenced by their joint blogging project, What We Covet.

The chief executive of South Africa's embattled national airline has quit, a week after the chairperson and seven board members walked out, a government official said on Monday.
"We have seen a letter of resignation by Siza Mzimela," said Mayihlome Tshwete, the spokesman for the Department of Public Enterprises, which controls the airline.
Tshwete gave no reason for Mzimela's departure, adding that her resignation has not been officially received.
Mzimela joined South African Airways in 2010, after the removal of former chief Khaya Ngqula, who was investigated for financial mismanagement.
In a letter to her staff, seen by local radio station 702, Mzimenla said her resignation was not "a random move".
She said: "I have given this decision careful thought and feel that now is the best time to relinquish my position as your CEO and allow somebody else to pilot the company into future."
The ailing airline, which was last week granted a $600 million cash backstop by the government to keep it afloat, was expected to post a $149 million loss, according to the Business Day daily.
The release of the airline's financial results had been delayed.
Former chairwoman, Cheryl Carolus attributed her resignation to a breakdown in the relationship with the government, the airline's main shareholder.
The government announced her replacement and that of the board members on the same day after her resignation.

to many pubs getting neglected that take money too, when poor earners are getting a fortune spent on them,then they still dont pick up trade
Unfortunetly whizz most MEN like soccer that,s why sam,s are usually empty when a match is on as for the natural look of pub,s most of Sam,s fall well short of a decent place to take a wife or girlfriend.My local Sam,s is well run by a great couple of manager,s but even they can,t keep the place from thread bare carpet,s and peeling wallpaper.
years ago when humphs was nearly of sound mind, he made a decision that he would not put his beer up as long as the wholesale cost of ingriedients didnt alter.At the time he was ridiculed by other brewery directors in the press, and they said he was a fool and would bankrupt sam smiths.So this course of action (keeping the beer prices low) has nothing to do with humphs concern for his customers, its about showing these people who dared to call him, that he can do it. (even when the wholesale prices did rise he was determined to be right)It is the managers that suffer, through staff hour reductions, and having to work stupid hours, yes the beer is cheap and thats great, but next time you go into your local Sams for a cheap pint look at the surroundings and see how shoddy they are, another casulty of keeping the beer prices low, thats whats behind the ban on music TV and sky.Believe me Humph dosent have a concience or a kind thought but he definitly gets my vote for the biggest christian hypocrite in the world.
The JD Wetherspoon concept pub is based on the "Moon Under Water" essay and quite a few of their pubs carry the name, notably the one in Wigan. I've yet to go in one that come even close to fulfilling even half of the ten points in the essay.Oh well.DB.
please come on how many men would sit around a plasma watching men run uphills and back again

Ansible - run time docker configuration
One of the things I was contemplating is run time configuration of the docker images... When doing large scale server management Ansible has been the goto tool... it can be easily used to manage docker containers as well...
By not using entrypoint or run in the dockerfile but rather installing ansible and an ansible playbook specifically intended to setup the service at run time. You can then call the ansible playbook which will setup the services configuration file using an ansible template.. adding things to the configuration file like IP address, port and other environment variables.
Then when starting the container environment variables can be passed in which ansible will then parse into the services configuration file and then instruct systemd to start the service.
This is extremely useful in situations where you would want to deploy clusters of services like elasticsearch, influxdb, foundationdb, consul or etcd
for instance with influxdb, a single docker image can be used and maintained with the base configuration, environment variables are not natively supported by influxdb but the configuration needs to be changed to match the current IP of the docker container and the IPs of the other influxdb servers so it can join the cluster.
containers can fail and other nodes can take their place regardless of how the configuration needs to be changed because ansible handles this on the fly at startup time of the container.
Is there any reason you think this is not the ideal approach with Atomic and geard? If not can you give an example of performing a influxdb deployment of a 5 container setup on 5 hosts and configuring them to all cluster together over the link setup by geard IP tables
I think this will best help me wrap my head around proper use of geard for autoscaling and configuration of containers.

"We Remember Dennis" is a celebration of the life and music of Dennis Brown, proclaimed one of the top 50 voices of the 20th Century! He is also one of the most influential vocalists among reggae musicians and was noted to be Bob Marley's favorite singer. His iconic status and pivotal place in the history of reggae music is highlighted by the range of contemporary artists and power in the musical selections on the album. The two-disc longplayer blends romantic love songs and ballads with roots and revolutionary songs made famous and (mostly) written by Brown, with all tracks recorded with producer legend Clive Hunt. Dennis Emmanuel Brown was a spokesman for the people of Jamaica and the diaspora and his message is a vital today as when these songs were first recorded. His voice and his music are with us and we remember Dennis Brown (born 1st February 1957 – r.i.p 1st July 1999) – his music will will forever!
