Cold and Lonesome Road (Weekend Reflections #71)
I took this shot because I liked the angle and curve of the road. I also like the contrast between the road and snow.
I thought the jogger was crazy to be out in the cold but then I realized that he probably thought the same thing about me. :)
If needed please click the link in the top right corner for Weekend Reflections instructions.
Now lets have some fun with Weekend Reflections!

nice one James. I like the composition, and the black and white fits nicely. Running in the cold is INSANE! I'd rather be out with the camera in the cold than run, but either way in the end I freeze :)

Interesting composition. I wonder what it would be like if you stepped to the left and had the path in the right 1/3 of the shot?

stunning photo James...I do miss living down there sometimes.

The small outline of the person against a harsh winter scene makes him look like a cold and lonesome jogger.
Very nice photo.

Great composition, James. I like it in b&w, too! Have a great weekend.

Cold and lonesome are certainly the adjectives to describe the scene.
I can almost feel the cold looking at the image.
You and the jogger were brave facing the elements.
Lovely monochrome shot!

The jogger gives the things back to their right sizes. The mood of the photo shows winter very well.I guess the only sound was the breath and steps of the running guy..

Everything is frozen over or has snow piled on it, so I had to use a photo from a couple of weeks ago. Hope you like it.
- January 28, 2011 at 8:10 PM
- Cheryl said...
Very interesting photo. It sure could have been taken around here were there is two feet of snow on the ground and gray days...but today hit the 30s so there is hope that spring will indeed arrive in a couple of months.
- January 28, 2011 at 8:15 PM
- Stickup Artist said...
The composition of your image is extremely effective and interesting with the interplay of the large interlocking dark and light areas. I like it very much and can see why you were so taken by the scene. If you hadn't presented it in black and white, I don't think that drama would have been so intense.

Your commentary made me laugh. It's all a matter of perspective, isn't it?

"What are you doing out here? Are you nuts?"
"Yep, takes one to know one."
Love your photo, James, and can't resist "Cold and Lonesome Road" as the title. Wonderful.

Me and my brother, having read up on BrikWars, both got each other lego for Manly Santa Day. He got me an awesome grab-bag of castle stuff with a larger Viking model, and I got him a couple of nasty-looking Mars Mission vehicles. We decided the two gifts would make for a good pick-up game, which works well. If I win, it's obviously because of my superior tactics, and if I lose it's because I got him a better gift.
The resulting battle has next to no Overwatch pictures, since we were too busy taking more fun pictures for that and the camera had trouble saving the aftermath shot for some reason. It's pretty small-scale, with both sides clocking in around 200 CP, so you shouldn't really miss much because of it. Hope you enjoy our first BrikWars battle.
On January 9th, 2009, a Legopian Alliance totally-not-invasion-force crossed the Legopian Miniforce's borders to throw them a surprise party. Within a few minutes, they encountered a colossal Miniforce vehicle unlike anything seen before. The totally-not-invasion was on.
Legopian Alliance:
At the vanguard is the hero Urist McDorfington and his seven Viking Warriors. To the west, a single mounted Knight. Behind the vanguard is Demonic Tinkerbell, guarded by three heavy infantry. In the rear are three ballistae and the giant Elfkicker 9000. The Elfkicker fires two flaming ballista bolts a turn, and boasts a frontal shield to protect its operators and firing mechanism.
Legopian Miniforce:
Dominating the battlefield is the Gatling Drill Walker (GDR), a giant quadruped vehicle. Aside from the laser drill in question it features a number of lighter lasers, as well as a high-yield mortar. To its east is an un-launched Alien Gunship. Later intelligence would report that both of the GDR's pilots were Heroes in skill, if not ego.
No other units were seen.
Turn 1: Legopian Miniforce
GDR opened the confrontation by firing its mortar.
The entire Viking Warrior squad, too busy whipping itself into a frenzy to think about things like dodging, was slain. Urist was a bit more clever.
The Alien Gunship took off and opened fire on Demonic Tinkerbell, missing.
No other movement was detected.
Turn 1: Legopian Alliance
Demonic Tinkerbell sprinkles some pixie dust on her Heavy Infantry escort and retreated. Urist McDorfington charges the GDR and its exposed windshield, leaping forward.
Urist smashes into the windshield like a bug, falling off.
The ballistae open fire on the Alien Gunship. While theoretically dealing damage, the bolts merely bounce off its massive hull, though the assault forced it to power down one of its many, many guns. The Knight nobly dashes towards the GDR to aid Urist. The Elfkicker also fires at the Gunship, with no effect.
The Heavy Infantry, now capable of flight, charge the Gunship.
Turn 2: Legopian Miniforce
A ninja appears from nowhere and decapitates Urist McDorfington! And he didn't even manage to do anything…
The Alien Gunship fires at the Heavy Infantry, missing. Similarly, the GDR fires its light lasers at the approaching Knight…
…With no effect.
Turn 2: Legopian Alliance
The Knight changes his target and rushes the distracted ninja (a hero, name of Neenja)! Neenja catches what would otherwise be a lethal blow in his armpit, winded, but not much else. Even the horse colliding with him accomplishes nothing. The Knight attacks Neenja again, with no effect. Somehow out of GDR's range, the Ballistae advanced.
The flying Heavy Infantry crashed headlong into the Alien Gunship's pilot, knocking it to its death.
Annoyed with the Artillery Squad's incompetence, Demonic Tinkerbell takes over the Elfkicker and fires at GDR.
The first shot misses, but the second breaks through the windshield and destroys the controls!
Due to Tink's interaction with it, the Elfkicker 9000 can now fly! Not that it matters.
Turn 3: Legopian Miniforce
The unpiloted Alien Gunship crashes to earth, producing the first proper pyrotechnics display in the battle.
The Pilot Hero climbs out of the now-burning cockpit and takes Urist's old axe.
Together, she and Neenja kill the Knight.
GDR, its gunner still inside, takes aim at the Elfkicker 9000 with its Gatling Beam Drill.
The Elfkicker 9000's shield is destroyed!
Turn 3: Legopian Alliance
The horse continues running, headlong into one of GDR's engines. It's knocked unconscious.
The Ballistae continue to advance at a snail's pace.
The Heavy Infantry head towards GDR's second cockpit, breaking off formation for a three-pronged attack.
Tink heads for the frontlines. She waves her wand, reanimating the Viking Warriors' dismembered corpses and weapons. She launches them towards the Miniforce's heroes!
Neenja survives the attack; Pilot hero is not so lucky (or ninjy).
The Elfkicker Firing Squad, having just been slapped around by an annoyed Demonic Tinkerbell, take much more care when firing. They launch off two perfectly aimed bolts at Neenja…
Who deflects them both, fire and all!
Turn 4: Legopian Miniforce
Neenja tosses a smoke bomb at his feet…
When the smoke clears, Neenja is still exactly where he was previously, doubled over in a coughing fit.
The GDR's gunner fires a Mortar shot point-blank at one of the Heavy Infantry…
It hits cleanly, vaporizing him and shattering the cockpit's windshield!
Turn 4: Legopian Alliance
The remaining two Heavy Infantry collide with the second Hero Pilot, and themselves, failing to deal much damage.
The worthless Ballistae continue to advance. A very ticked-off Tink heads over to harass them.
The Elfkicker fires off another two perfect shots at Neenja…
Neenja rolls over while coughing, deflecting both bolts in the process. He's just too fast.
Turn 5: Legopian Miniforce
Hero Pilot 2, too overwhelmed to fire, turns the Gatling Beam Drill straight down…
Neenja vanishes into the shadows. Everything else near GDR, including GDR, is incinerated by the resulting explosion.
Legopian Alliance:
Demonic Tinkerbell
Worthless Artillery Squad
Legopian Miniforce:
The Nth Legopian War:
Battle 1: Battle of the Non-Descript Plains
Battle 2: Battle of the Unnecessary Wall
Battle 3: Outbreak at Ribannald
Filler 1: Capture the Princess
Filler 2: Battle for Ascention
Filler 3: Legopia versus the Manly Santa Day Spirit
Post-Battle Notes:
-I only remembered the bailing rules after calculating the damage that incinerated my Vikings.
-In retrospect, my deployment was terrible. The Ballistae were too far out of range to do anything for the entire battle, and even the Elfkicker had to move up to get a shot off on GDR. My Vikings were crammed together like sardines when my brother's primary anti-infantry weapon was that mortar. Ah, well. Live and learn.
-The Elfkicker 9000 is garbage. It has a Size 3 launcher shooting Size 1 projectiles, so it hits on a 6 and deals 1d6 damage. Too inaccurate for anti-infantry purposes, too weak for anti-armor. It can shoot two rounds at once, but they both aim separately. Its fire might have come in handy if there were wooden targets to attack, but sadly there were none. It has since been reverse-engineered to help with my latest creation.
-Neenja's clothing was from our old Lego stash, but the head was from Mars Mission.
-Tinkerbell was recruited because, as the lines formed up, it was clear that I needed fliers. Since we only had dragon wings, though (we seem to have lost the dragon itself), she became a demon as well. This worked out for the better, since we didn't have any dresses, and the only blonde hair was Draco Malfoy's. The wings were attached with hot glue. Some tests suggest that it comes off just fine if you want to use the materials for something else, but something tells me Tink will be a recurring character in my army.
-From now on, if my brother wants multiple heroically-skilled units, he'll need to deal with the crankiness like everyone else.
-The Elfkicker just happened to start rolling 6's after Tink fired it. She didn't actually do anything to the Artillery Squad.
-Almost every attack levied against Neenja included at least one Bonus Die. He just got more bonus dice for every one.
-It just didn't feel right sprinting with artillery.

[[Category:Comics featuring Cueball]]
Revision as of 21:33, 7 November 2013
Title text: Actually, I think if all higher math professors had to write for the Simple English Wikipedia for a year, we'd be in much better shape academically.
Cueball seems to be in a physics facility with a particle accelerator. The Physicist asks him his thoughts about a Tertiary F.E.L guidance system for the particle accelerator. The first joke here is that particle accelerators don't use guidance systems. They randomly smash together used charged particles or contain them in beams.
As the text below the comic says, Cueball has spent the previous night reading the Simple English Wikipedia, which is a simplified version of Wikipedia, so he can't stop talking in simplified language, making him sound unintelligent. He refers to the elementary particles and the ad hoc guidance system, which is presumably broken, and says that if the wrong particles collide it would be bad and damage the machine. The joke is also a take on Wikipedia and the fact that it has two versions of the same text.
The title text applies the same principle to teaching mathematics that simple language avoids unnecessary complications as math teachers often write in unnecessarily complicated English, often discouraging math students who are then unable to comprehend the substituted English symbols.
This concept was later revisited in 1133 Up Goer Five.
- Friend: Do you have any thoughts regarding the particle accelerator's tertiary F.E.L. Guidance System?
- Cueball: We can't put the broken part in the machine. It wouldn't smash the right tiny things together. Then the machine might break.
- Cueball: That would be very bad.
- I spent all night reading simple.wikipedia.org, and now I can't stop talking like this.
add a comment! ⋅ add a topic (use sparingly)! ⋅ refresh comments!
This is possibly even another take by xkcd at conspiracy theories such as the one in http://xkcd.com/966/
- In this comic too he presents conspiracy theories against each other, the black hole with the guidance system.
The fact that the reference of something bad happening is to the Black hole theories comes from the fact that the comic was drawn the same time the theories were most predominant.
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety_of_high_energy_particle_collision_experiments#Micro_black_holes Mr Andersom (talk) 13:40, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
I don't think there's a joke here regarding "particle accelerators not having a guidance system" (paraphrasing the first paragraph of explanation, currently). Maybe there's a confusion about the phrase "the particle accelerator's tertiary F.E.L. Guidance System"? The FEL (Free Electron Laser, IIRC) itself is a tunable lasing 'cavity' for electrons that is magnetic, not optical, in nature, but (again, IIRC) is supplied with electrons at relativistic speeds by way of a particle accelerator (depending on which FEL, sometimes dedicated to the FEL and sometimes "from a main multipurpose ring", such as the LHC might be). Particle acceleration requires that the particles being accelerated be constrained within the ring (when being brung up to speed or collided within the ring's in-line experiment zones) or redirected out of the ring (or allowed to depart it, but still in a controlled manner) if being used for an out-of-ring experiment. It's true that particles being smashed are thrown together rather haphazardly (when compared, say, with collisions at the scale of vehicle crash tests), but there's actually quite a lot of sophisticated detection equipment used to work out the path of the particles so that guidance can be applied by magnetic fields (separately from the 'corner turning' ones and/or including those). I think I would consider such systems (including the ones that 'extract' particles for use in off-ring experiments) worthy of the title "guidance systems", albeit external to the particle as opposed to on-board like on a smart missile... And so if (and I haven't checked, so colour me wrong if I turn out to be so) the complex has at least three FELs attached, it's reasonable to assume that the third of these (hierarchically speaking) has, like its brethren, a particle guidance system involved at some point to ensure the electron supply is suitably contained and piped into it... Or it refers to the third of (at least three) beam-guiding systems for the lone FEL. Maybe even this means something active within the magnetic "wiggler" assembly of the FEL itself, or even (if this is what they do) on the output to the FEL leading into the LHC itself... But whichever it is, it the relevent FEL Guidance System surely exists in some form or other.
...TL;DR; - I'm pretty much sure the joke is more of an "Up-goer 5" nature... I also don't see any reference to Black Holes/conspiracy theories... It's just doing an "If this part is broken, you will not
go to space collide any particles today" thing, surely? 184.108.40.206 22:05, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry, but I have no time to read this comment. Keep short! --Dgbrt (talk) 22:18, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
- I agree with 184.108.40.206. There's nothing about conspiracy theories, even indirectly. I've removed that part. I also don't see anything criticizing Simple English Wikipedia, or two versions. To the contrary, he praises it (albeit somewhat exaggeratedly) in the title text. I left it for now, though. Mattflaschen (talk) 08:44, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
There is a community portal discussion of what to call Cueball and what to do in case with more than one Cueball. I have added this comic to the new Category:Multiple Cueballs. Since there is clearly one Cueball that is the protagonist and do most of the "talking" he should probably be listed as Cueball. Just made a note that the other guys also looks like Cueball. --Kynde (talk) 21:19, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
Maybe it would be worth adding a reference to Randall's new book "Thing Explainer", which follows the same concept.--126.96.36.199 00:12, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
- Nah, it's fine without it, since the comic doesn't directly refer to it (for obvious reasons) and because it's not based on the concept of the limited vocabulary that Thing Explainer and Up Goer Five, it's just simplistic. -Pennpenn 126.96.36.199 02:40, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

In the trenches on climate change, hostility among foes
Sunday, November 22, 2009
Electronic files that were stolen from a prominent climate research center and made public last week provide a rare glimpse into the behind-the-scenes battle to shape the public perception of global warming.
While few U.S. politicians bother to question whether humans are changing the world's climate -- nearly three years ago the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concluded the evidence was unequivocal -- public debate persists. And the newly disclosed private exchanges among climate scientists at Britain's Climate Research Unit of the University of East Anglia reveal an intellectual circle that appears to feel very much under attack, and eager to punish its enemies.
In one e-mail, the center's director, Phil Jones, writes Pennsylvania State University's Michael E. Mann and questions whether the work of academics that question the link between human activities and global warming deserve to make it into the prestigious IPCC report, which represents the global consensus view on climate science.
"I can't see either of these papers being in the next IPCC report," Jones writes. "Kevin and I will keep them out somehow -- even if we have to redefine what the peer-review literature is!"
In another, Jones and Mann discuss how they can pressure an academic journal not to accept the work of climate skeptics with whom they disagree. "Perhaps we should encourage our colleagues in the climate research community to no longer submit to, or cite papers in, this journal," Mann writes.
"I will be emailing the journal to tell them I'm having nothing more to do with it until they rid themselves of this troublesome editor," Jones replies.
Patrick Michaels, a senior fellow at the libertarian Cato Institute who comes under fire in the e-mails, said these same academics repeatedly criticized him for not having published more peer-reviewed papers.
"There's an egregious problem here, their intimidation of journal editors," he said. "They're saying, 'If you print anything by this group, we won't send you any papers.' "
Mann, who directs Penn State's Earth System Science Center, said the e-mails reflected the sort of "vigorous debate" researchers engage in before reaching scientific conclusions. "We shouldn't expect the sort of refined statements that scientists make when they're speaking in public," he said.
Christopher Horner, a senior fellow at the libertarian Competitive Enterprise Institute who has questioned whether climate change is human-caused, blogged that the e-mails have "the makings of a very big" scandal. "Imagine this sort of news coming in the field of AIDS research," he added.
The story of the hacking has ranked among the most popular on Web sites ranging from The Washington Post's to that of London's Daily Telegraph. And it has spurred a flood of e-mails from climate skeptics to U.S. news organizations, some likening the disclosure to the release of the Pentagon Papers during Vietnam.
Kevin Trenberth, who heads the Climate Analysis Section at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo., and wrote some of the pirated e-mails, said it is the implications rather than the content of climate research that make some people uncomfortable.
"It is incontrovertible" that the world is warming as a result of human actions, Trenberth said. "The question to me is what to do."
"It's certainly a legitimate question," he added. "Unfortunately one of the side effects of this is the messengers get attacked."
In his new book, "Science as a Contact Sport: Inside the Battle to Save the Earth's Climate," Stanford University climate scientist Stephen H. Schneider details the intense debate over warming, arguing that it has helped slow the nation's public policy response.
"I've been here on the ground, in the trenches, for my entire career," writes Schneider, who was copied on one of the controversial e-mails. "I'm still at it, and the battle, while looking more winnable these days, is still not a done deal."

Story List
A well known female pilot and navigator dissapears!
By: Syrah U.
Ohio, Age 7
What happened to pilot Amelia Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan? I'm sure that is the question everyone has been asking. Amelia and Fred had been traveling around the world. July 2, the two took off for Howland Island. Which is half a mile wide and two miles long. Twenty hours into the flight Amelia's voice was picked up on a ships radio near the island but the plane ''Electra'' never arrived. Joining a press meeting I learned that President Roosevelt authorized 9 naval ships and 66 planes which is about 4,000 men to comb the waters and islands of the South Pacific. Never found, we will always have that question ''what happen on Amelia's journey around the world''?

Bridal luncheon invitations are used to invite bridesmaids to a lunch or tea party hosted by the bride in honor of the bridesmaids. Often referred to as a bridesmaid luncheon or bridal tea, this party is thrown to honor the bridesmaids and thank them for being a part of the wedding party. The bridal luncheon usually consists of cake, coffee or tea, or a meal for the bridesmaids before the wedding day.
For wording visit: Bridal Shower Invitation Wording Ideas
Who should be invited to the bridal shower? - That depends on how many bridal showers are being thrown. In the old days, women would have a single shower and all of her female relatives, female in-laws, and female friends would be invited. Today, she might have multiple showers thrown by different people, such as her co-workers or family members on the groom's side. In those cases, the guest lists should be restricted so the same people aren't invited to more than one bridal shower. You can also choose to have a more inclusive bridal shower and invite the groom, as well as male relatives and friends. Remember that the bride, and possibly the groom, should approve the final guest list to make sure no one important is excluded and no one unwanted is included.
When should the bridal shower be held? - Bridal showers should be held at least a month before the wedding. You can have the shower at a closer date but only if you want to include family and friends who are traveling a great distance to attend the wedding. You want to make sure the shower doesn't conflict with the bachelorette party and that the bride has time to send out thank you cards for the shower before getting started on the ones for her wedding. Plus, scheduling will be increasingly difficult as the wedding date approaches.
Where should the bridal shower be held? - Bridal showers can be held almost anywhere. Private homes are often the best choice because they are free and readily available. However, restaurants, party rooms, clubs, and other common event locations are all great choices. You should first decide how many will be invited and how much you can spend on the shower before you select a location.
What should we do at the bridal shower? - The easy answer is have a good time. Most bridal showers include some type of refreshments: cake, mints, sandwich trays, catered meals, etc. You basically pick a menu that fits your theme and your budget. You'll also need entertainment, usually games that test your guests' knowledge about the bride-to-be. You can also throw in other types of games and activities as well depending on the location and theme of your event.

Blazars are a special kind of black hole - the kind with jets that are pointing right towards us! They're white hot and heading our way, but the only way we can spot them is with cool infrared telescopes. Take a look at the black holes that blaze.
The Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE, was not designed to look for hot things. Infrared is even cooler than visible light, and just above radio in the elecromagnetic spectrum. And yet it picked up strange infrared signatures in its survey of the sky.
Scientists analyzed these signatures and found that they may be the hallmarks of some of the hottest things out there - blazars. Supermassive black holes are generally at the center of galaxies. They gobble down matter around them and shoot out jets of energy from their centers. These jets travel at almost the speed of light. And sometimes, just sometimes, these jets are pointing right at Earth. These holes, oriented with their jets streaming towards Earth, are called Blazars. And while they're tough to spot with telescopes that would actually take in their heat energy, they might stick out like giant jets of sore thumbs on infrared. The WISE mission has found 200 of them, and may find thousands more.
Why look for them at all? Well, it seems that there are these mysterious sections of the skies that seem to be burning up with gamma rays. Scientists, understandably concerned about why certain parts of the sky are suddenly annihilatingly hot, believe that these may be blazars. Even if blazars have nothing to do with the gamma ray rich sections of the sky, taking a look at black holes from 'head on' may help scientists understand why black holes shoot out jets of energy at all. For the rest of us, it might be nice just to know that somewhere out there, about 200 black holes are shining on us like spotlights.

In 2002 one of the most influential collaborative relationships was born between renowned Japanese fashion designer, Yohji Yamamoto and authentic sportswear brand, adidas. Y-3 fuses luxury sportswear with luxe detailing and simplified design. The 'Y' stands for Yohji Yamamoto, the '3' represents adidas' three signature stripes and 'the' signifies the bond between the two. The brand experiments with advanced fabrics and explores structure and silhouettes with the active individual in mind. Y-3 sneakers are constructed from rich, soft leathers, feature innovative soles and flashes of bold and contemporary prints. The unique partnership has resulted in a line that pushes modern design whilst maintaining the essence of classic sportswear.
Inspired by the Royal Air Force, the Y-3 AW15 collection featured recognisable silhouettes that ignited aviation and strong military themes. Flight suits, soviet officer jackets and greatcoats were brought together by the Y-3 three stripes that adorned leggings, pants and casual wear. Jackets were decorated with straps and buckles whilst combat trousers featured oversized pockets and abstract camo prints. Colour palettes remained traditional in navy, black and blue with accents of white, grey and green – which are a strong contrast to the past two season's florescent hues. Layering, dropped crotch and sporty pieces offer a contemporary approach to sportswear that the label champions, whilst cocooning silhouettes and contrasting materials allow for a new direction. The collection also featured an impressive new range of sneakers, featuring recognisable Boost, Qasa High and Kohna silhouettes, reimagined in the season's aesthetic in canvas, neoprene and leather.

April is a quiet time for inn keepers in Southern Vermont. The ski slopes closed, and mud season/stick season has not yet given way to spring greenery. Yoshio and I took advantage of this lull, and went to San Francisco for our first bonding visit with Owen, our grandson.
It was heartbreaking to leave Owen, Lisa, and Jesse, but our return to Ormsby Hill couldn't have been better. Green grass, clear blue skies, and temperatures in the seventies lifted our spirits. The forecast still calls for night temperatures in the thirties, but screens are in place, plants are popping up, and our patio is open for mountain viewing. Hope you'll join us in our celebration of the season.

Neer Dosa
Neer Dosa - Neer meaning water in kannada, this dosa gets its name, since the batter prepared for this dosa is very watery. Dosa prepared is thin and light. This is a popular daskina kannada dish. I liked the combination of neer dosa with coconut chutney for breakfast.
2 cups - Raw rice , soaked overnight
1/2 cup - Freshly grated coconut
3 cups - Water
Salt to taste
1 ) Soak raw rice overnight in enough water. Drain out the water. Grind rice with coconut to a smooth paste with water in small batches, using up 3 cups of water. Batter should be very thin and watery. Add salt to taste.
2 ) Heat a non- stick flat griddle or tawa on a moderate heat. Wipe clean the inside of the pan with cloth dipped in oil. When the Tawa is hot, pour batter and spread around the tawa to make a thin dosa. Since the batter is watery,you will not be able to spread batter like you can with regular dosa batter.
3 ) Lower the heat, cover with a lid and cook till the dosa is cooked. Then fold the dosa in half and again half. Take off the stove and transfer to a serving plate.Use rest of the batter to make neer dosa in similar way.
Serve for breakfast with chutney or have for dinner with any non- vegetarian curry.

The Daily Telegraph reports
Robyn Davidson's 3200-kilometre foot journey across Australia accompanied by four camels and a black dog has never really ended.
Her 1977 trek catapulted Davidson into an unexpected media storm, from which came a book deal a few years later and a career as a writer and traveler. More than 30 years on, her book recounting the journey, Tracks, has been turned into a film starring Australian actor Mia Wasikowska and directed by John Curran.
"I think even writing the book all those years ago changed the journey," Davidson, now 62, said in an interview before the world premiere of the Tracks in competition at the Venice Film Festival. While writing it in "this horrible, pokey flat in London" two years after the fact, Davidson said she experienced an incredible feat of memory.
"I swear I remembered every single campsite over a period of nine months. As soon as the book was finished, it was gone. It was as if the book ate the memory," she said. "I wonder now if the film is going to copy the book in some sort of way, so people, and even I, remember it in some weird confused way."
The book, which was translated in to 18 languages and has been part of the Australian school curriculum, had been optioned many times for films that were never made.
Davidson said she is "delighted" other filmmakers didn't get to make their versions of the film and that it went to Curran, an American who has lived in Australia, saying his film "is the good one." Her only condition was that she wanted Wasikowska, a fellow Aussie, to play her.
The two women met on a trip to the desert so Davidson could show the young actress a few things about camels.
"I thought, 'Oh, she is she is so tiny and frail. How is she going to muster the sort of earthiness?'" Davidson recalled.
"The next time I saw her was at a shoot at Ayers Rock, and she was transformed. She was wearing my clothes, she had hairy legs. She was a little toughie. It was amazing."
Tiny and frail is exactly how many viewed Davidson when she showed up in Alice Springs in 1975 to prepare for the trek eastward to the Indian Ocean. She spent more some two years scraping together money and learning to train the camels that would accompany her. Eventually she sought sponsorship from National Geographic, which set a condition that a photographer would capture images at intervals.
Along the way, Davidson had to face down charging feral camel bulls, track down her own camels when they went missing, suffered the loss of her faithful dog, and eventually faced a growing media circus as word of her feat spread.
She also was befriended by Aborigines, including one elder, Mr. Eddy, who accompanied her through sacred lands, and was taken in for brief respites by the few white settlers living in the outback.
Davidson also developed an enduring friendship with National Geographic photographer Rick Smolan, played in the film by Adam Driver, despite her initial resentment at his periodic intrusions.
She still is at a loss to explain why she undertook the journey.
"I suppose the most I can say is I had a kind of instinctive understanding I needed to do something very demanding of my life in order to make an individual of myself, in order to pull all these rather unprepossessing bits together, and forge a person."
Davidson went on to become a prolific writer and lived two years with nomads in India, which she said, was "the most extreme and difficult" thing she has ever done. "That made this look like a cakewalk," she said.
The bonds she forged with those she met on her on her trans-Australian journey, including the camels, remained strong. Mr Eddy, she said, made her an honorary wife.
And the camels retained their loyalty years after. She visited them once in western Australia. After playing and cuddling them for an hour, she turned to walk back 16 kilometres to the homestead.
"They fell in line behind me, following me all the way," she said.

Google Maps Is Back On The iPhone: Native iOS App Released
Google has released its long-awaited map app for the iPhone. And it delivers all the expected features: voice-guided turn-by-turn navigation, traffic, public transit, Street View and so on.
It's better than Google Maps for Android because it has been built or rebuilt "from the ground up" and didn't grow by accretion. The bottom line: it delivers. Yet it's also not 100 percent satisfying (at least in my initial test). I'm not sure what I was expecting.
It's not integrated with Siri. You can't say "I need directions to San Francisco" and be taken to Google Maps, as you once could. Instead you'll go to Apple Maps. You can however use Siri to launch Google Maps ("Open Google Maps") and then conduct your local search or directions lookup.
It's also not integrated with Google's iOS search app or Google search results on the mobile web. When you click a map image in either case you're taken to the mobile-browser version of Google Maps.
Here are some quick screenshots from the new app I took this evening:
Google has also released an SDK for developers so that they can once again use Google's Maps and data on the iPhone instead of Apple Maps.
While Google Maps and navigation were never perfect (despite the gauzy, romantic reflections of some tech bloggers), the new app will give many people a kind of renewed confidence they were lacking with Apple's mapping product. (The pressure is now truly on Apple to "uplevel" its maps.)
Comparing Apple Maps and Google Maps side by side I have to say I prefer the Apple Maps UI. It's more polished and aesthetically refined. Most people probably won't care about that. They just want to get from A to B with confidence.
Tonight's release is available in roughly 40 countries and 29 languages. It's a big, global launch and should see massive downloads from iPhone owners all over the world. There's currently no iPad version though the new Google Maps app will obviously also work on the iPad.
Postscript: Here's the thing most people aren't talking about or don't realize: if Apple hadn't done what it did and removed Google from the iPhone's maps app we wouldn't be talking about this much improved Google Maps experience for iOS.
The old "Google Maps" on the iPhone was a very weak version of its Android cousin. Google either wasn't improving the app or Apple wasn't allowing Google to do what it wanted. However if it wasn't for Apple extricating Google from default mapping status Google wouldn't have developed this impressive new app.
Accordingly, in retrospect, this drama was all necessary to get to where we are today — a place where iPhone users have much more choice and higher quality map experiences than they did a year ago.
We're listening.

The trades are buzzing that Sir Ben Kingsley has been cast as the big bad in Iron Man 3. He's not playing the Mandarin, but we're pretty excited, as this recent casting news solidifies rumors that Iron Man 3 will be based around Warren Ellis' Extremis run.
According to Variety:
Ben Kingsley is in final talks to play the villain in IRON MAN 3, but fans of the comicbook character will be disappointed to learn he won't take on original Tony Stark archenemy the Mandarin... Instead, Kingsley's character is involved in the spread of a virus through nanobots, given that IRON MAN 3 is loosely based on Warren Ellis' six-issue "Extremis" comicbook series first published in 2005. That arc - which also heavily influenced the first Iron Man pic - introduced a new origin story and focused heavily on nanotechnology. -
Nanotech! The Extremis line has a lot of potential, even if the Mandarin did have some exceedingly chic accessories. Iron Man 3 is scheduled to open in theaters on May 3, 2013.

Love the story, love the clothes (well, some of us), but who among us would really want to relive the unpleasant side of the socioeconomic scale of \"Downton Abbey,\" right?
Former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers marked President\'s Day with a warning that the U.S. is headed exactly toward those \"good\" old days. He invoked Presidents Obama and Roosevelt, while seeming to tap right into Pope Francis\'s thoughts on the big problems with wealth inequality, in an editorial that published Monday in the Washington Post. Summers also wrote a similar article for the Financial Times.
\"There are valid causes for concern about inequality: sharp increases in the share of income going to the top 1% of earnings, a rising share of income going to profits, stagnant real wages and a rising gap between productivity growth and growth in median-family incomes. A generation ago, it could have been asserted that the economy\'s overall growth rate was the dominant determinant of growth in middle-class incomes and progress in reducing poverty. This is no longer a plausible claim.\"
For anyone who\'s been sleeping under a rock, \"Downton Abbey\" is a highly acclaimed British period drama that depicts the lives of an aristocratic family and their servants. From the sinking of the Titanic in the first season, to the outbreak of the First World War and on through the interwar period and Teapot Dome scandal in the fourth season, the rich/poor gap in this drama is about as broad and painful as it can get.
\"Those who condemn President Obama\'s concern about inequality as \'tearing down the wealthy,\' and un-American populism have, to put it politely, limited historical perspective,\" said Summers, who drew on examples from other past and popular presidents such as Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman and John F. Kennedy who also threw a few barbs at gaping wealthy/poor and rich company/poor worker syndromes.
Summers says the solution must involve raising incomes of the middle class and the poor, reforming tax codes that let a bigger share of the income of the wealthy escape taxation. He sprinkles in factoids, such as last year\'s stock market growth that represented a rise in wealth of around $6 trillion, with the bulk of that going to the wealthy. The ratio of corporate tax collections to the market value of U.S. corporations is also at a record low, and closing those up would allow targeted tax measures like the earned-income tax credit to lift incomes for the poor and middle class.
Perhaps Summers is addressing some of the uber-wealthy who have been busy sticking glazed-calf Louis Vuitton\'s in their mouths recently.
Last week, venture capitalist Tom Perkins opened wide for a second time with a comment that the wealthier should have more voting rights than the poor. Last month he did a #sorrynotsorry for drawing a comparison between what the 1% face now and what the Jews endured during the Holocaust.
Also recently, Nicole Miller\'s CEO Bud Konheim suggested the American poor really are a bunch of whiners. Last month, Shark Tank millionaire Kevin O\'Leary suggested global inequality inspires the poor to \"to look up to the 1% and say, \'I want to become one of these people.\' \" It was his response to the Oxfam study that revealed the wealth of 85 of the world\'s richest people around the globe is equal to assets held by half the world\'s population.

(Editor\'s note: A prior version of this blog post incorrectly stated a factoid on the Oxfam study. It\'s 85 of the world\'s richest people)

"Sheriff's Week," proclaimed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, is being celebrated this week in Niagara County.
"The office of sheriff is the only law enforcement chief executive officer elected by the people. As such, there is a unique bond between the people and the sheriff," said Sheriff James Voutour.
Niagara County and the Niagara County Office of the Sheriff both came into existence on March 11, 1808.
"The Niagara County Office of the Sheriff has maintained its traditional commitment to excellence, but we are fully aware today's society places new and greater demands on law enforcement. That is why we have evolved into modern, full-service law enforcement agency made up of professionally trained men and women who use state-of-the-art technology and the latest, most advanced practices in the criminal justice field," Voutour said.
Tenth District Niagara County Legislator David E. Godfrey presented the proclamation honoring the sheriff's office to Voutour at Tuesday's legislative meeting. From left are Godfrey, Voutour, Undersheriff Michael J. Filicetti, Chief Deputy Thomas C. Beatty, Chief Deputy Steven C. Preisch and Chief Jail Administrator Kevin M. Payne.

I know this isn't a typical ESPN or Yahoo fantasy board, but I haven't seen a rule about not asking for help with team/player opinions, so why not?
In my primary league, for small-scale $, I have been talking with another manager about a trade in which I would get Tony Romo, and I would give him Freeman and Jordy Nelson.
He is willing to do this, but I am hesitant. I like Romo quite a bit, but I like Freeman a lot too. Freeman's #'s last year were awesome for a first-full-year starter: 25 TDs, 6 INTs, second only to Vick in QB rushing. But, I also know Romo could be somewhat close to the elite group if he stays healthy.
The other question is Jordy Nelson's potential this season. Sure looked like Rodgers liked him at the end of last season and in Thurs. night's game.
This has been wracking my thoughts since the weekend. I keep going back and forth. So, I'm reaching out to you guys.
Is my love for Freeman exagerrated just because he's on my team? Jordy Nelson? Will Romo be much better, if any, than Freeman this year? Should I do it??
I need help...

November 3, 2006
The National Association of Wabash Men inducted 10 new members into the Wabash Athletics Hall of Fame. The ceremony was held on the eve of the 113th Monon Bell Classic, Friday, November 10.
This year's inductees spanned five decades of excellence in athletics and support of the Wabash athletics program. In addition to the athletes, the NAWM Board of Directors enshrined long-time boosters Fran Hollett H'85 and Ginny Hays H'97, and posthumously inducted the late Bill Hays '37.
"The Hollett and Hays families exemplify what it means to be a fan of Little Giant athletics," said Jay Fisher, president of the National Association of Wabash Men. "We're very excited to be inducting Fran, Bill, and Ginny into the Athletics Hall of Fame.
Other inductees included:
The late Ben Fellerhoff '58, a two-time Most Valuable Player for the Wabash basketball team, who scored 1,123 career points and was the team's leading rebounder. Mr. Fellerhoff was represented at the Hall of Fame by his sister.
George Brattain '63, who walked on to Coach J. Owen Huntsman's track and cross country teams after serving as a manager in high school. Brattain would go on to become an All-American in track, and has spent the last 40 years as an official with governing bodies of the sports of track and cross country.
Terry Smith '68 was ineligible to play as a freshman, but wasted little time lighting up the nets as a star shooting guard for the Little Giant basketball team. Named Most Valuable Player three straight years, Smith scored 1,057 points in just 56 career games.
John Panozzo '89, now a doctor in Denver, had what many Wabash fans believe to be the finest single baseball season in school history. Not only was he a two-time MVP, four-year letterman, and captain, he set the school record by hitting .471 in his junior season.
Bill Kepler '93 proved that student-athletes at Wabash can excel in three sports. Kepler earned a total of 10 letters in football, wrestling, and golf, and was named All-Conference in wrestling and golf. He set the freshman record for most wins in a wrestling season, and was a national player of the week in football.
Chris Ings '96 shattered every passing and total offense record as a four-year starting quarterback for the Little Giant football team. He made the All-Conference team four years running and chalked up 7,637 passing yards and 1,971 rushing yards in his career.
Dan Emerson '98 is the only athlete in Wabash College history to serve as captain and earn MVP in four straight varsity seasons. An All-American wrestler, Emerson was an All-Academic Team member and graduated Phi Beta Kappa with a 3.95 grade point average.

Glad to have Shah Rukh Khan in Chennai Express: Deepika Padukone
Deepika Padukone is happy to team up with Shah Rukh Khan in Chennai Expressbollywood Updated: May 28, 2013 15:26 IST
Deepika Padukone is happy to team up with Shah Rukh Khan in Chennai Express after 2007 release Om Shanti Om and says now she interacts with him "more freely" and they share a "friendly equation".
The actress debuted with Om Shanti Om, which had SRK in the male lead, and being a newcomer she tended to be "nervous and awkward" on the sets of Farah Khan directorial venture.
Deepika says now she interacts with SRK "more freely" and they share a "friendly equation".
You are again working with Shah Rukh in Chennai Express? What's it like the second time?
You know, when we did Om Shanti Om, I was a newcomer, nervous and awkward. Today, I can speak to him much more freely. Today, we share a friendly equation. Shah Rukh is a sport. Unfortunately, a lot of people don't get his sense of humour. Shooting with him is a breeze. He lightens the atmosphere and makes everything so easy.
Are you able to face him more confidently this time?
You know, unlike our other film together where there was a large cast, in Chennai Express there is an added pressure because it's a romantic comedy where the focus throughout is on Shah Rukh and me. For two actors to carry off a comedy on their shoulders is not easy. I am glad I've Shah Rukh in Chennai Express to make sure I don't flounder.
Would Chennai Express tap the comic side of you?
Yes! If on one hand (filmmaker) Sanjay Leela Bhansali is pushing the boundaries of my abilities as a dramatic actress (in Ram Leela), on the other hand (director) Rohit Shetty too is tapping a side of me that's never been tapped before. I now realize comedy is the most difficult genre of acting and the most difficult kind of cinema to make.

According to early EST morning wire service reports, it appears as though Pope Benedict XVI is planning to resign, making him the first pope in modern history to make such a move. Reuters reports:
ROME, Feb 11 (Reuters) – Pope Benedict said on Monday he will resign on Feb 28 because he no longer has the strength to fulfil the duties of his office, becoming the first pontiff since the Middle Ages to take such a step.
The 85-year-old pope said he had noticed that his strength had deteriorated over recent months "to the extent that I have had to recognize my incapacity to adequately fulfil the ministry entrusted to me".
"For this reason, and well aware of the seriousness of this act, with full freedom I declare that I renounce the ministry of Bishop of Rome, Successor of Saint Peter," he said according to a statement from the Vatican.
A Vatican spokesman said the pontiff would step down from 1900 GMT on Feb. 28, leaving the office vacant until a successor is chosen.
According to Vatican Radio's website, here is the full text of the Pope's address.
Dear Brothers,
I have convoked you to this Consistory, not only for the three canonizations, but also to communicate to you a decision of great importance for the life of the Church. After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry. I am well aware that this ministry, due to its essential spiritual nature, must be carried out not only with words and deeds, but no less with prayer and suffering. However, in today's world, subject to so many rapid changes and shaken by questions of deep relevance for the life of faith, in order to govern the bark of Saint Peter and proclaim the Gospel, both strength of mind and body are necessary, strength which in the last few months, has deteriorated in me to the extent that I have had to recognize my incapacity to adequately fulfill the ministry entrusted to me. For this reason, and well aware of the seriousness of this act, with full freedom I declare that I renounce the ministry of Bishop of Rome, Successor of Saint Peter, entrusted to me by the Cardinals on 19 April 2005, in such a way, that as from 28 February 2013, at 20:00 hours, the See of Rome, the See of Saint Peter, will be vacant and a Conclave to elect the new Supreme Pontiff will have to be convoked by those whose competence it is.
Dear Brothers, I thank you most sincerely for all the love and work with which you have supported me in my ministry and I ask pardon for all my defects. And now, let us entrust the Holy Church to the care of Our Supreme Pastor, Our Lord Jesus Christ, and implore his holy Mother Mary, so that she may assist the Cardinal Fathers with her maternal solicitude, in electing a new Supreme Pontiff. With regard to myself, I wish to also devotedly serve the Holy Church of God in the future through a life dedicated to prayer.
From the Vatican, 10 February 2013
Obviously, more to come on this topic…

Frankfurt Airport in numbers
By • Published 14th September 2012
Serving Germany's financial capital, Frankfurt Airport is one of the world's busiest international gateways.
With 56 million passengers passing through last year, it's the third busiest airport in Europe and claims to serve more international destinations than any other airport in the world. But rather than just catering to holiday makers, Frankfurt is a major logistical hub.
Most of its passengers are business travelers and more than half of all passengers are there to transfer between flights. It handles more than 2 million tons of cargo each year, as well as 100 million animals. And more than 18,000 items of baggage travel along its 73 kilometers of conveyor belts every hour.
See also: Record-breaking airports
"What is unique about Frankfurt is the amount of traffic," Klaus Wehle, supervisor at Frankfurt control tower, told CNN's Becky Anderson.
The chefs at Frankfurt Airport prepare around 100.000 meals per day, enough to feed a small city.
He added: "We have four runways, we have two terminals, divided in different parts, so we have a lot of taxiing aircraft, which is very complex.
"Frankfurt is a transfer hub so we have several peak hours a day -- inbound peaks, outbound peaks -- so punctuality is a big issue here."
Frankfurt is Germany's financial capital and has one of the world's busiest airports. CNN's Becky Anderson reports.
The airport was also considered the first to have infrastructure compatible with the colossal Airbus A380 -- the biggest passenger aircraft flying today.
It can take up to 50 people to handle the
turnaround of an A380
and the double-deck plane presents considerable challenges for the airport's staff. It takes about an hour to refuel an A380, which can guzzle up to about 320,000 liters of fuel -- enough to fill the tanks of some 6,000 cars.
And a single A380 can require up to 1,200 in-flight meals -- prepped and cooked by the airport's chefs.
Feeding Frankfurt Airport
and its airlines is no small task. International chefs work around the clock to dish out an average of 100,000 meals a day -- enough to feed the population of a small city.
While most meals for economy class are deep frozen, for business and first-class passengers food is freshly prepared on the day. But preparing food for consumption in the air presents unique problems -- not least that passengers' taste buds don't function as well at altitude.
Maik Herodek, section manager of LSG Skychefs, a catering company at Frankfurt Airport, says its hard to create plane food that isn't plain. "The challenge is to make good food ... because if you fly the air is dry, and you can't taste the salt," he said. "So you have to work with more herbs or other spices."
And his secret to pleasing fussy airline passengers? "All the ingredients are very fresh," he said.
"We check the temperature, we check the freshness, we check everything because it must be the freshest you get, because on the airplane, you can't say 'oh sorry, tell the chef I want another one.' There's just one chance to deliver good food on a plane."

Exclusive! 6 questions with Angelina Jolie
07.15.2010 | By Karen Posada | No Comments">No Comments
ShowBizCafe.com obtained a very exclusive interview with the multiple award winner and humanitarian actress, Angelina Jolie about her upcoming action film Salt opening July 23rd nationwide. She cleared up some rumors and spoke of her motivation as well as her ideas of new projects.
ShowBizCafe: At this point in your career what validates your work? Is it what critics say? Or?…
Angelina Jolie: I never read what critics say, I think it's healthy. (laughs) I like the process of making a film, when we've worked really hard in making a good film I feel satisfied. I like the team of other actors, and the crew, the director; I just love the family and if we feel we've done our best I feel happy. The best obviously is when an audience responds and enjoys the film and people tell you they've had a good time, or they've learned something, it's the greatest.
SBC: Do you think the length of 90 minutes works and helps this film?
AJ: I don't have the longest attention span, so I think it depends on the film. This one is kind of relentless from start to finish, that's what we tried to do. I don't think you can handle that for too long.
SBC: Since you did your own stunts, what were your days like? Were you exhausted?
AJ: It seems like so much but it was spread out and I was exhausted. But the kids would come and we would have lunch and I was home by the time the sun went down. There are much harder jobs (laughs).
SBC: Vanity Fair reported you saying that you'd give up acting at some point, is that true?
AJ: Not that I'd give up acting, I think I would just do less at some point. I have a few more stories that I'd like to tell but I can imagine that I'll just do less and less as my kids grow up. I'd like to do other things before my life is over.
SBC: Cinematically what things do you feel you haven't done?
AJ: Well there's been talk about Cleopatra, I haven't done a historical epic of that nature and she's always been fascinating to me. I feel that as much as her story [has been done so many times] it's never been done accurately. Not that any movie can get history perfectly right. There's no universal truth to history in film but you can get closer and I feel that there's a lot that hasn't been explored about her. Theres a lot that would have to come together for that to work.
SBC: Finally, what was your reaction when you first heard about the alleged Russian spies that were recently arrested?
AJ: It was the day before we started press so at first I didn't believe it. It was bizarre. It was two-fold. The part of me that's interested in politics felt ' I hope this doesn't affect our relationship with Russia and our relationship with moving forward and [with] Afghanistan and Iran. And all these things and I don't know what this means.' The other part of me, that does films thought ' what extraordinary timing' and this is because all through the making of this film we would question: Is this possible? are we bringing back Cold-War propaganda that's unnecessary? and [is this]something we should leave alone? With no intention on doing anything like that. It just felt true to the story and when I [Evelyn Salt] would have been young that would have been the war so it would make sense to do that sleeper. It was just bizarre when we read it and we have been following it, it's extraordinary how it's unfolding

Sunday's 65th Annual Primetime Emmys brought some unexpected wins (Jeff Daniels) and losses (Bryan Cranston), but to some people, the biggest snub of all wasn't even an award — it was the In Memoriam segment. Unlike past Emmys broadcasts, which have traditionally featured one long In Memoriam photo reel honoring everyone who passed away in the year leading up to the show, the 2013 Emmys singled out five stars to be memorialized by close friends or colleagues. Host Neil Patrick Harris said the idea was to keep the segment from becoming a "competition" for applause, but that idea seems to have backfired.
Preston Hagman — whose dad, Dallas star Larry Hagman, died from complications of cancer at age 81 in November — spoke to Entertainment Tonight about the controversial tributes. Larry Hagman was not selected to receive an individual eulogy; he and other beloved stars including Annette Funicello, Roger Ebert, Dennis Farina, Jeanne Cooper, and Bonnie Franklin were grouped together in a traditional photo montage.
"I think three seconds was short," the younger Hagman said, referring to the amount of time his father's picture was shown onscreen. "I think all of them were short. If you are going to honor [the In Memoriam recipients], honor them with the respect and dignity that they portrayed. Do it for everyone."
He continued: "These are very talented people. The actors that they're honoring have done so much for the industry…If you're going to respect and recognize them, then do it correctly."
Hagman clarified that he wasn't mad about the tributes — just disappointed in them. "How I felt last night watching [the Emmys] was not anger, it was disappointment. Again, I think my dad was a trailblazer in the industry to set the stage for other actors," he explained. "So it's not anger, it's definitely disappointment for what he contributed to the profession."
Incidentally, Hagman wasn't the only mourning family member who had a problem with the way the In Memoriam tributes were handled. Adam Klugman, the son of The Odd Couple star Jack Klugman, also voiced his displeasure with the show, telling the Associated Press that he thought it was "criminal" that his father was relegated to the generic In Memoriam reel — especially considering the amount of time Glee's Cory Monteith was given.
"It's an insult, and it really seems typical of this youth-centric culture that has an extremely short attention span and panders to only a very narrow demographic," he complained. "What about the people who should be introduced to somebody like my father? I don't mean to say anything disparaging about Cory, but he was a kid who had won no Emmys, and it was a self-induced tragedy."
