While you might be bummed you can't make it to Venice, Telluride and TIFF, over the next four weeks, there will be plenty of movies hitting theaters that are just as buzzworthy, heading to cinemas following their splashy premieres around the world. So to help you along your way, we've picked ten films that are unspooling in the next 30 days or so that will likely to be worth your time and hard earned dollars. So with no further ado…
Synopsis: A troubled, hard-drinking former sailor (Joaquin Phoenix) falls in with a charismatic man in the process of setting up his own religion (Philip Seymour Hoffman).
Our Verdict: Undoubtedly the biggest news of the month movie-wise is the return of Paul Thomas Anderson, with his much-anticipated look at addiction, Scientology-like religions and the love between two men, reuniting with him longtime muse Hoffman, and giving him the great Phoenix and Amy Adams to play with as well. At this point in time, we've had two separate looks, and while both reviews had issues, it's clear that it'll cause more debate than anything else this month. Charlie Schmidlin, who caught a secret 70mm screening in Chicago last month, said that it's "altogether an experience at which to marvel," although he found the film a little "listless." Meanwhile, I saw the film in Venice at the weekend, and though I found it "a film to admire (enormously) rather than cherish," it's also a stunning film in many respects, from the glorious 70mm photography to top-notch performances from Phoenix, Hoffman and Adams. Other reactions have ranged from raves to disappointment, but whichever way you land on it, this is clearly the one film this month you have to see.
When? New York and LA from September 14th, expanding from September 21st.
Synopsis: In a future where time travel exists, but is outlawed, hitmen are enlisted to eliminate mob targets sent back from even further in the future, so as to leave no bodies. However, the system falls apart when Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) fails to pull the trigger on his older self (played by Bruce Willis).
What You Need to Know: Of course, "The Master" isn't the only hotly anticipated film landing this month. Writer-director Rian Johnson has already put an inspired spin on both film noir with the high school-set "Brick" and the con-man caper with "The Brothers Bloom" (disliked by some, but in this writer's opinion, it's something of an undersung gem). To see him tackle heady sci-fi action with a cast that includes "Brick" lead Gordon-Levitt (coming right off "The Dark Knight Rises"), Willis, Emily Blunt, Jeff Daniels, Piper Perabo, Paul Dano and Garret Dillahunt is an exciting prospect indeed. No official reviews have yet dropped, but as far back as the end of last year, the buzz has been very, very strong, while the trailers look great, and an opening slot at TIFF bodes well. Bruce Willis himself has called it the best thing he's ever been in, and given that he starred in "Pulp Fiction," "Die Hard" and "12 Monkeys," that's probably worth paying attention to.
When? Opens wide September 28th. Look for our review in a day or two, when it opens TIFF.
Synopsis: A documentary filmmaker (Thure Lindhart) and a literary agent (Zachary Booth) make an unexpected connection after a one-night stand.
Our Verdict: Ira Sachs' follow-up to his acclaimed "Forty Shades of Blue" sounds like a U.S.-set version of last year's acclaimed "Weekend," and if Simon Abrams was correct when he reviewed the film for us at Sundance, it's every bit as good as its predecessor. "Sachs pulls no punches" he wrote, with "every moment poignant and significant in some way." Aside from one heavy-handed scene, the film was "stunning... there's no melodrama here, just a moving and totally engrossing story of two men in love." The central performances from Zachary Booth ("Damages") and Danish actor Thure Lindhart ("Into the Wild," "Flame & Citron") seem like they could be star-makers as well. And if you weren't convinced already, the score is made up of cuts from the great Arthur Russell. Hopefully it'll manage to break out a little more than the woefully underseen "Weekend" did.
When? Opens September 7th.
4. "The Perks of Being A Wallflower"
Synopsis: A high school freshman struggles to get over the suicide of his best friend.
What You Need To Know: If you're going to make an adaptation of one of the most beloved cult novels of the last fifteen years or so, it's always going to reassure fans to know that the project has the backing of the original author. But Stephen Chblosky doesn't just approve of the adaptation of his bildungsroman "The Perks of Being A Wallflower," he's written and directed it as well, thanks to the backing of John Malkovich's Mr. Mudd company (who were also behind "Juno"). And he's managed to attract a solid cast too, with Logan Lerman taking the central role, Emma Watson looking to break out beyond Hermione as female lead Sam, and Ezra Miller, Mae Whitman, Kate Walsh, Paul Rudd, Nina Dobrev and Johnny Simmons also involved. Of course, being an author doesn't help you be a filmmaker, but Chlobsky's got some experience on screen, adapting "Rent" for Chris Columbus and creating and producing the cult post-apocalyptic TV show "Jericho." Plus the trailer was pretty promising, and we've heard some good advance buzz already (Lerman and Miller are meant to be especially good). If nothing else, the soundtrack, which features New Order, The Smiths, Sonic Youth and David Bowie, is pretty kick-ass.
When? September 21st
Synopsis: An uninspired, drifting thirtysomething goes back to his college to bid farewell to a famous professor, only to meet, and fall for, a precocious young sophomore.
What You Need To Know: As the star of hit sitcom "How I Met Your Mother," Josh Radnor was always going to have the shadow of Zach Braff and "Garden State" hanging over his directorial debut "happythankyoumoreplease." While that film had its share of issues, he's already beaten Braff by getting his second film under his belt only two years after the first. And Radnor's been smart enough to cast last year's breakout starlet Elizabeth Olsen opposite himself (well, wouldn't you?) with a cast also including "Young Adult"'s Elizabeth Reaser, sudden indie convert Zac Efron, and, as professors, Allison Janney and Richard Jenkins, two actors scientifically proven to make any film they're in 20% better. Each. And for the most part, Cory Everett liked the film when he saw it for us in Park City, calling the cast "an ensemble of terrific performers," particularly the "effortlessly endearing" Olsen. There are problems – "The music is overbearing at times and there are a few too many endings that circle back to wrap up a story thread you may have already forgotten about," according to Cory. But for the most part, it seems to be fairly slight, but firmly enjoyable little indie comedy.
When? September 14th

The Kennedy Curse Continues
Once I've taken visitors to the various Kennedy grave sites, an inevitable question arises: Where's John John buried? Why is he not with his father?
Those of you who read my discussion of President Kennedy's grave, may remember that although the site work was paid for by the Kennedy family and the 3.2 acres is dedicated to his remembrance, the plot remains the property of the U.S. Government and part of Arlington National Cemetery. As such, JFK, Jr. would have had to meet the eligibility requirements on his own to be buried with his parents, and as he was not a minor child nor a permanently dependent one, he would not have, much less his wife and her sister, who both died with him in a plane crash off Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts on July 16th, 1999. While certainly the Kennedy family could have asked for an exemption, it doesn't appear that this was ever considered.
So, now that Arlington was out, the Kennedy and Bessette families were faced with a new problem. Part of the attraction that Arlington Cemetery has for high profile burials is the idea that as it is directly controlled by the military, a sense of decorum will be preserved. As it is today. Millions of visitors have come by the Kennedy graves, thousands with me alone, and everyone from cemetery officials, security guards, tour guides, teachers, parents, and (sometimes) school kids keeps this in mind when they visit. Jackie was very wise to give her husband to the people; it relieved the family from what would have been an incredible logistical challenge: keeping her husbands grave secure and respected.
And in many ways, that's what the Kennedy family faced again. Without the U.S. Army guarding it, how would John F. Kennedy, Jr's grave remain untrammeled by thousand of well wishing but overwhelming visitors? Sometimes it's good to be the king, and if the family faced a unique problem, they were capable of unique solutions. Sen. Edward Kennedy reached out to the Defense Department and asked for a favor; a burial at sea. In of itself, unremarkable, the Navy handles thousands of these a year, the circumstances certainly were in this case. Even though JFK Jr had no military experience, a provision exists for for non-veterans who have made notable or outstanding contributions to the United States, as was ruled the case here.
And so the USS Briscoe was dispatched from Norfolk, Virginia to host members of the Kennedy and Bessette families to say good by to their loved ones. Although the Navy handled much of the details, the service was not a military one and did not include the traditional trappings such a the three round volley or the playing of taps that accompanies military and navel funerals. The family committed to the deep, to use the appropriate terminology, the remains of Kennedy and his wife and sister in law.
I myself reported aboard the good ship Briscoe a few months after the funeral, where stories abounded of the event. Someday, I might share some of them with you, but for now let me note on bit of the aftermath that followed the burial.
While, the burial was in keeping with regulations, the speed in which it was carried out bothered the families of many veterans whose remains had yet to be buried. As they had a good point, the Navy sought to clear the backlog as rapidly as possible, so we spent a good portion of 2000 bringing the ship to bare steerage way, donning our whites, and sending many old salts to the briny deep. It was a fun time to be the roommate of the burial officer, and we shared our stateroom had many new residents taking their last sea cruise until we could work through the backlog.
So, back to Arlington Cemetery, how do I answer the question? I normally hold off until walking back from the Tomb of the Unknowns along Roosevelt Drive. Just after you pass McClellan Drive on the left is the grave of Admiral Briscoe, pictured below. He is the namesake of the ship that buried John John, buried himself here at Arlington.

There's an actual birth date for what we currently call "world music" — June 29, 1987. A group of record label heads, managers and journalists met in London and decided to use this term in order to persuade record stores to devote floor space to the music they represented. World fusion used to happen organically in cities like Istanbul or along the Silk Road, but after 1987, there was a niche market created for it.
Today's world fusion successes rely on participants having lived through generations of both woeful and brilliant experimentation to produce music that no longer feels contrived. Here are three trends in world music producing wonderful new hybrids.
Dance music around the world has become more intense and percussive over time. Complex West African traditional rhythms were once smoothed out by Western fusioneers but in a post-glitch universe, more people can deal with the world's snakiest rhythms. With some music, all that's required is a little tweak to bring out what's already in the music to bring it to another level while not losing the special rhythmic or harmonic uniqueness that was always there.
Donso is a project from France that utilizes Mandé hunters' rhythms as the basis for careful and subtle electronic programming. The electroacoustic qualities of the instruments would have been very difficult to achieve years ago. This is clearly not traditional music, but you can mix it with traditional music and it works brilliantly.
One of the biggest criticisms of world fusion is that it's executed by more powerful, usually white Svengalis harvesting folkloric elements. However, there are a number of crosscultural music makers who take on those notions with fascinating results.
A Tribe Called Red is a group of Aboriginal DJs from Ottawa who are part of a worldwide movement of indigenous remixers. They incorporate everything from Brazilian music to dancehall to the weird Dutch-Latino hybrid of moombahton in their music, and pepper it with ironic or parodic uses of pop culture representations of Indians. They are part-video artists, part-recording artists and full-time party starters who always come with a heavy social subtext. They release free tracks with a creative process and raison d'etre miles away from the polished albums once expected of world music artists. They've proven there's more than one curatorial perspective to world music.
[Listen to Electric Pow Wow Drum by A Tribe Called Red.]
New Afro-Rock
Tinariwen sounds like a classic rock band; they even look like rock stars. Over the decades these Tuareg rebels have soaked up the sounds of everything from traditional song forms to the Rolling Stones, Phil Collins and Led Zeppelin. Arena-ready hooks are second nature to them, and they've got definable rock 'n' roll cool — enough to get them signed to iconoclastic label Anti-, which specializes in maverick artists regardless of genre. Tinariwen's inverse is Toubab Krewe, who bring staggering knowledge of West African rhythms to the jam band circuit from their college town base in Asheville, N.C., but are unpretentious and comfortable in their non-Africanness in a way Vampire Weekend can't pull off.
The biggest change over the past 25 years of world music has been that it's easier for artists to express nuanced ideas. They don't need a label or distribution to tailor their ideas to commercial viability. What labels exist for world music have had to sharpen their focus and allocate their resources more effectively to help their artists create music of substance. Any promise of big money in world music has evaporated — what's left is people interested in (and just as importantly experienced in) cross cultural musical experiments motivated not by a sense of exotic exploration but by hard-won knowledge about disparate forms and sounds around the world and around our own neighbourhoods.

Winter Costume by Eileen Stewart
The text describes this outfit as follows: "The woods were full of lovely stuffs for her sewing. Velvety leaves not yet dried and colored rose, gold, scarlet and russet. Soft beautiful mosses of many different kinds: furry ones, that grew close to the ground; trailing ones; upstanding feathery ones like plumes, and each moss was green and everlasting. The tiny brown cones of the larch trees made excellent buttons. The soft lining of the fern fronds made Miss Hickory's winter underwear.... she wore a dress of layer upon layer of golden beech leaves. Her coat was made of soft, low-growing moss, thick and warm, with tiny larch cones for buttons and a border of creeping pine. Her close-fitting hat was little more than a cap, but smart. It matched her coat, being made of green moss, and it had a bunch of red alder-berries and one moss plume for trimming."

The talus is a small bone of the ankle responsible for transferring weight bearing forces from the shin to the foot (figure 1). The talus is situated below the tibia and fibula (lower leg bones) and connects with these bones to form the ankle joint (figure 1). The talus bone also forms joints with several other small bones of the foot including the navicular and calcaneus (figure 2).
During weight bearing activity compressive forces are placed through the talus. When these forces are excessive, too repetitive and beyond what the bone can withstand, bony damage gradually occurs. This initially results in a bony stress reaction, however, with continued damage may progress to a talus stress fracture.
Stress fractures of the talus typically occur gradually over time with excessive weight bearing activity such as running. They usually occur following a recent increase in activity or change in training conditions. They commonly present in athletes involved in running sports such as football and athletics.
Patients with this condition typically experience a deep ankle pain that increases with weight bearing activity. In severe cases, walking may be enough to aggravate symptoms. Other symptoms may include night ache, pain during certain movements of the foot and ankle or pain on firmly touching the talus.
A thorough subjective and objective examination from a physiotherapist may be sufficient to diagnose a talus stress fracture. Investigations such as an MRI, CT scan or bone scan are usually required to confirm diagnosis.
Most patients with this condition heal well with appropriate management. Treatment typically involves an initial period of rest from weight bearing activity which usually requires the use of crutches or a protective boot. In patients with a confirmed fracture, treatment may sometimes require 6 weeks plaster cast immobilization but this will vary from case to case.
Once the patient is out of the cast (or for those patients who do not require plaster cast immobilization), a gradual increase in weight bearing activity can begin provided there is no increase in pain. This should occur over weeks to months with direction from the treating physiotherapist or specialist and will vary depending on the severity of injury. Alternative exercises placing minimal weight bearing forces through the affected bones should be performed to maintain fitness such as swimming, cycling, and water running. Exercises to maintain flexibility, strength and balance are also important to ensure the ankle is functioning correctly. The treating physiotherapist can advise which exercises are most appropriate and when they should be commenced.
There are several factors that may contribute to the development of a talus stress fracture. These should be assessed and where possible corrected with direction from the treating physiotherapist and may include:
Physiotherapy treatment is essential for all patients with this condition to hasten healing, prevent recurrence and ensure an optimal outcome. This may comprise:
Despite appropriate physiotherapy management, some patients with this condition do not improve and may require other intervention to ensure an optimal outcome. The treating physiotherapist or doctor can advise on the best course of management when this is the case. This may include further investigations such as X-rays, CT scan, MRI or bone scan, extended periods of plaster cast immoblization, review with a podiatrist for possible orthotics or referral to appropriate medical authorities who can advise on any intervention that may be appropriate to improve the talus stress fracture. Occasionally, patients with this condition may require surgery to stabilize the stress fracture and aid healing.
The following exercises are commonly prescribed to patients with a talus stress fracture. You should discuss the suitability of these exercises with your physiotherapist prior to beginning them. Generally, they should be performed 3 times daily and only provided they do not cause or increase symptoms.
Move your foot and ankle up and down as far as possible and comfortable without pain (figure 3). Repeat 10 - 20 times provided there is no increase in symptoms.
Figure 3 Foot and Ankle Up and Down (left leg)
Move your foot and ankle in and out as far as possible and comfortable without pain (figure 4). Repeat 10 - 20 times provided there is no increase in symptoms.
Figure 4 Foot and Ankle In and Out (right leg)
Move your foot and ankle in a circle as large as possible and comfortable without pain (figure 5). Repeat 10 times in each direction provided there is no increase in symptoms.

I've got a single user with an odd looking web client. Everything is stark white. She's set on the advanced view and has "lavender" picked as her theme. I've tried different themes and ever switched to standard view, but no change.
If I log into her Zimbra on a different machine, it works fine. If I log in as myself on her machine, it works fine. But her user is messed up. Any suggestions?

There's never a dull moment when Karl Lagerfeld's around. We're yet to find the subject that he doesn't have a perfectly succinct opinion on.
But in New York this week, where he was shooting model Stella Tennant for an forthcoming Chanel campaign, he didn't even have to say anything to keep us amused. Simply by donning a bottle green tweed jacket in place of his habitual black created a stir.
He once told US Harper's Bazaar about his personal 'uniform' of black, saying, '[It] is actually two looks – a special jacket with tails made by Dior, but not what you wear for weddings… Then I have another jacket I love from the new Dior men's collection.'
He also made sure to clarify, 'I bought five of [the jacket] so people think I wear the same thing every day, but in fact it's never the same thing.'
If you look a little longer at this new picture, you'll notice that the new colour is not all. Karl's tie-pin is a giant bumblebee rendered in gold. Is he trying to tell us something? Save the bees? It's not easy being green? It would certainly tie in with the eco-friendly renewable energy source showcased at his Chanel spring/summer 2013 show earlier this month, if it was.

Kim And Khloe Kardashian Bond At Mud Run
April 27, 2014 12:00 PM by Stephanie Gustafson
Facebook fans are accustomed to seeing Kim and Khloe Kardashian get down and dirty…but not with bandanas on their faces! The Keeping Up With The Kardashians stars recently participated in a mud run, marking the occasion by sharing multiple selfies on Instagram.
Kim and Khloe Kardashian are committed to achieving their fitness goals, which, for Kim, means losing all the extra baby weight and, for Khloe, obtaining a lean, muscular figure. The two typically accomplish these lofty aims by meeting with trainers at the gym, but on occasion, they like to mix it up with unusual workouts. Such was the case the other day, when Kim and Khloe participated in a mud run in California.
Although Twitter followers were not lucky enough to witness Kim and Khloe with grimey faces, they did get to see a photo of the pair sliding into a huge puddle of mud. In another snapshot, the sisters posed with a friend, their faces covered in pink bandanas. Yet another photo featured a bandana-clad Khloe pulling down the hood of her sweatshirt. The caption for this picture was particularly interesting: "Goons….I love when my captions have y'all arguing."
There's a very good chance Kim and Khloe's mud run adventures will eventually be featured on Keeping Up With The Kardashians. In the past few weeks, the sisters have been posing for the cameras while visiting charities and enjoying posh shopping trips. A mud run seems like the perfect escapade for the reality show, especially as producers attempt to take a break from Kim's wedding planning and the fallout from Khloe's destroyed marriage.
Are you looking forward to a new season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians? Sound off in the comments section below!

GOLDSBORO, N.C. (AP) -- Funeral arrangements have been announced for Wayne County Sheriff Carey A. Winders.
A visitation is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon and evening at Faith Free Will Baptist Church in Goldsboro.
Funeral services are planned for Wednesday afternoon in the Kornegay Arena at the University of Mount Olive.
Winders was taken to the hospital on Friday after suffering a heart attack at his home. He could not be revived.
When Winders was elected sheriff in 1994, he was the first Republican to hold the post in Wayne County. The 57-year-old sheriff was last elected in 2010, and the office was to be on this year's ballot.
Winders started his law enforcement career as a patrol officer with Goldsboro Police in 1984.

Saunders: Ipswich 40-yarder was amazing but I preferred tap-ins!
When Villa supporters recall the goals of Dean Saunders, a spectacular 40-yard dipping volley against this weekend's opponents Ipswich Town in February 1993 immediately springs to mind.
Indeed, it was voted No. 2 in the DVD of Villa's 100 Greatest Premier League goals, beaten only by Dalian Atkinson's incredible solo effort against Wimbledon earlier that season.
But Deano begs to differ. He much prefers the dozens of tap-ins he scored during a career which spanned nine British clubs plus Galatasaray of Istanbul.
"Villa fans remember the one against Ipswich more than any other goal," he says.
"But for me, while those goals look great on television and feel great, sometimes the ball can go over the bar or 20 yards wide.
"Most of my bread and butter goals were inside the six-yard box. I enjoyed out-thinking people and getting across defenders. I loved anticipating things and having the technique to put the chances away."
Deano never had much trouble in that respect, establishing himself as a prolific marksman wherever he played.
His haul for Villa was 49 over the course of three campaigns in which he was involved in a championship bid, a cup triumph and a relegation battle.
The figure would have been a nice round half century, but an overhead kick against Sheffield United during his first season at Villa Park was later awarded by the Dubious Goals Panel as a Chris Kamara own goal.
But if he enjoyed all of his goals, from whatever range, which one did he enjoy most for Villa?
"The goal that no-one probably remembers but is my favourite, was at Sheffield Wednesday," he says.
"Ian Taylor was a great midfielder and in training we used to take the mickey out of him because whenever he got in good positions he used to scuff the ball across the goal.
"He got into a great position at Hillsborough and I anticipated what he was going to do - I ran to the far post and, sure enough, the ball came to me and I tapped it in.
"I got more pleasure from that than striking shots into the top corner, because anticipation is 90 per cent of a striker's job. The special goals happen once in a blue moon.
"I really enjoyed my time at Villa and there was always something happening. I was there for three seasons but I felt I crammed about 10 years in!
"It's a great club and I always love going back there."
Without doubt, the biggest influence on Saunders' time with Villa was the man who signed him - even if Ron Atkinson thought he could do a better job than the man who had cost a couple of million!
"It was brilliant to play for Ron," says Deano. "He was so funny and so sharp - and he always had the last word.
"He also thought he was the best player at the club, which was hilarious.
"Once, I was having treatment because I'd cut my head and Ron came into the treatment room before going out training, a sausage sandwich in one hand and a cup of tea in the other.
"He never spoke to injured players because he said they were no use to the club, so when I joked about him wasting his time going outside, he ignored me and spoke to me through our physio, Jim Walker.
"I told Jim to tell him I'd got injured putting my head in to score in the six-yard box.
"Ron then said to Jim: 'I can't remember him putting his head in.'
"I responded: 'If that's how he feels, he should sell me.'
"Ron said to Jim: 'He's been for sale for 12 months and there are no takers!'
"He still wouldn't talk to me but he went out on to the pitch, played on the right wing, and was brilliant!
"In the dressing room before a game, he always talked about all-out attack, that's all he thought about - how well we could play and how many we could score. He was a pleasure to play for, a great manager."
Villa head into the League Cup semi against Bradford City next week with hopes of a Wembley final in their minds.
Saunders admits the highlight of his time in claret and blue was the 1994 showpiece, when Villa beat Manchester United 3-1 and he scored twice.
It was a result which ultimately prevented United from a treble triumph, because they went on to become Premier League champions and FA Cup-winners, although Deano admits there were a few doubters in the camp when Atkinson announced the Wembley line-up.
"We were struggling a bit in the league at the time," he says. "When Ron told us who was playing, we thought: 'What kind of team is that?' Graham Fenton, who had hardly played all season, was given the job of man-marking Paul Ince, while I was up front on my own with Dalian Atkinson on the right and Tony Daley on the left.
"But it worked. I got two of our goals - and I reckon I only touched the ball twice!
"After the match, we did a lap of honour with the cup and there was a big divot in the pitch. I picked up a big lump of turf and threw it over the fence towards our supporters. I later had a letter from a fan who had put it in his garden!
"He puts fertiliser on it and cuts it - it's a little strip of Wembley in his garden."

text: Ulster face Saracens in quarter-final 20 Jan 2013 Ulster will be up against their former coach Mark McCall when they travel to Vicarage Road to play Saracens in the quarter-finals of the Heineken Cup in April. Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast Ulster's hopes of a home quarter-final were dashed on Sunday when Saracens claimed a bonus point win over Edinburgh at Vicarage Road.The English Premiership side, coached by Ulster 1999 European Cup winner McCall, ran in five tries, four of them in the second half, in beating the Scots 40-7. It looked like a home quarter-final could have been on the cards after Ulster recorded their first win in France at Stade Pierre-Antoine on Saturday.They defeated Castres 9-8 in the scrappy Heineken Cup clash.The Ulstermen came from behind to win, courtesy of three Ruan Pienaar penalties.Castres had led early on thanks to a well-worked try from Piula Faasalele but it was Mark Anscombe's side who took home the points."We were very flat in the first half, we kept giving the ball away and couldn't get our lineout going," Anscombe said."We couldn't come here and expect to score four tries, but there were opportunities and holes in Castres. We just needed to take a bit more care with the ball.""The character has been the hallmark of the side for the entire season so far, and we showed the strength of our character in the second half today," Anscombe added."It was good to tick that box and get that first win in France in the Heineken Cup."If Ulster beat Saracens they will play either Toulon or Leicester at home in the semi-final.— Ulster Rugby (@UlsterRugby) January 20, 2013Quarter final ties (5-7 April 2013):Harlequins v Munster, Clermont Auvergne v Montpellier, Toulon v Leicester, Saracens v Ulster © UTV Share Share Share

Linden Labs – best known for creating the sandbox virtual playground Second Life, has purchased digital distribution platform Desura for an undisclosed amount of money. Linden Labs did not say exactly why they purchased the platform, but one would guess that it was an easy way for the company to get into the business of digitally distributing games.
"Desura's talented team, thriving business, and impressive technology are a great fit for Linden Lab," said Linden Lab CEO Rod Humble. "This acquisition gives us a global platform for serving creative developers of all kinds, and we're looking forward to growing both Desura's global community of gamers and its fantastic portfolio of thousands of games, mods, and other content. Our aim is to invest and support the Desura team in making it the most open and developer-friendly platform in the world."
Linden Labs promises that Desura users will see no interruption in the service as a result of the acquisition. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

With a TV series, toys, comics and video games already developed out of media mogul Ted Turner's brainchild, Captain Planet, the do-gooder environmentalist superhero is finally getting the big screen treatment. So for the millions who have been waiting in agony for a Captain Planet movie, today is your eco-friendly Christmas.
"Transformers: Dark of the Moon" and "Real Steel" producers Don Murphy and Susan Montford have inked a contract with Cartoon Network to develop a live action movie that will spawn a franchise of films. And that's about the extent of the news for now. Given their CVs thus far, we don't suppose there will be anything subtle about the forthcoming vehicle, but then again with a name like Captain Planet, we don't suppose the political bent is much of a secret. For those of you too young to remember (or if you're like us and you just never bothered), the mythology is pretty much a direct ripoff of "Green Lantern" which involves the Earth spirit Gaia sending five rings around the world that give their bearers extraordinary powers over the Earth's four elements and a fifth one, uh, Heart, and when combined, summons our hero Captain Planet. He's kind of like Superman in strength, seemingly invulnerable, though pollution weakens him which means that if you're a bad guy, all you need to do is set up shop near a factory or in downtown Los Angeles, and you should be fine.
Honestly, this hero was kind of a super dork to begin with and it will need one helluva adaptation not to make this feel strident, ridiculous or both. All the enviro-speak of "Avatar" was eye-rolling enough, we can't imagine what that would be like when it's the driving force of the protagonist of a super hero movie. Nothing against the environment or green living, but a superhero franchise based around that? No thanks, we'll pass. No directors, writers or actors mentioned yet but the producers might want to check PETA's list of veggie friendly celebs. [Deadline]

Or, put another way, is anybody using the COM interface to ADO in C++?
I need to connect to MSSQL server with some degree of compiler-neutrality, so I've started implementing some stuff using Microsoft's ADO library ... but there are only 17 ADO C++ questions on StackOverflow, which leads me to believe that nobody is doing it this way.
Is StackOverflow correct? Is there something better than ADO for connecting to MSSQL server? Or is the msdn documentation just so awesome that nobody needs to ask any questions?

By: Emily ScrewsUA Media Relations
Brandon Hollinger is off to an impressive start to what all Tide fans know will be an exciting career at the University of Alabama. This freshman standout from then nationally ranked LeFlore High School in Mobile has proven he has what it takes to help the Crimson Tide team succeed. In just his first year, Hollinger has earned a starting spot through his hard work and dedication. After departures and injuries, Hollinger has stepped up and proven to be an asset for the Tide.
Do you still talk to your high school teammates? (Five of his senior year teammates signed college scholarships)."Oh yeah I still talk to all of them, especially after every game they call me. I talk to them everyday. We talk about each other. How we've played in the games. It's not a competitive thing; we are just helping each other out. Some of my old teammates will tell me things I need to do to help my team."
Why did you choose the University of Alabama?"It's close to home for me. It's a good program, I knew I could come here and help the team. Those were my big reasons."
How does it feel to be starting as a freshman?"I never thought if would happen because I've got Ron Steele playing in front of me, which is an All-SEC point guard. I thought I was just going to come and help him out at the point guard position. To be starting is really big for me; it's just a present from God I guess."
What's your favorite memory so far from your freshman season?"The thing I'll remember in the future is when we won the game against Vanderbilt. We were practicing that play in practice (launching a long cross court "bomb"), and the coaches don't know, but the players were thinking ??That's not going to ever happen, its never going to work'. The next day at the game, the same situation we did at practice was the same situation we were in during the game. And it worked. It's what helped us win."
If you were the coach of your own college team and could pick any player in the country, who would your starting five be?"Rudy Gay, JJ Redick, Adam Morrison, Ronald Steele as my point guard, and Marco Killingsworth"
How do you get focused for your games?"I just think about the game. I watch game film the night before of games we already have played, so I won't make the same mistake that I made the last game. I just watch game film and then when I come to the gym we have music playing in the locker room. The only thing we do is listen to music and focus on what we need to do."

Bryn Card earned his first win of the year in game two.
Feb. 27, 2010
HUNTSVILLE, Texas - The Utah baseball team swept a doubleheader against Sam Houston State on Saturday, winning game one 10-6 before taking a 3-2 win in game two.
A five-run ninth inning broke a 5-5 tie and lifted the Utes to the 10-6 victory in game one. Michael Beltran walked to lead off the inning and Gavin Green reached on an error. A failed pickoff attempt allowed Beltran to score the go-ahead run and sent Green to third. Nick Kuroczko kept the inning going with an RBI single, scoring Green, while C.J. Cron earned a single after Kuroczko was hit by the ball while running the bases. Rick Cornu singled to put two on base, setting up Mark-Jan Moorman's three-run home run.
Reliever Stephen Streich, who earned his first win of the year, gave up two singles to start off the bottom of the ninth before forcing a double play to get out of the jam.
Utah took a 1-0 lead in the first inning after leading off the game with three-straight singles, allowing Beltran to score. Sam Houston State got on the board in the bottom of the second with Michael Heard scoring on an error to tie game at 1-1.
The Utes scored three runs in the sixth inning, with Cron, Devin Walker and Josh Reed each with RBI hits to give Utah a 4-1 lead. The Bearkats came back in the bottom of the inning with four runs behind a three-run homer by Doug Oney, taking a 5-4 lead.
Utah tied the game in the eighth at 5-5 with Moorman hitting a two-out RBI double to send Cron, who singled to reach base, across the plate.
In game two, each team scored a run in the first inning. Utah got on the board with Green scoring on Cron's sacrifice fly while the Bearkats scored an unearned run on Mark Hudson's RBI single.
Utah broke the tie in the third inning, taking the lead as Kuroczko hit a solo home run to right field. Cron kept the two-out rally going with a single while Walker reached base when he was hit by a pitch, setting up an RBI single by Austin Shackelford.
Sam Houston State cut into the lead in the seventh inning with Oney scoring on a passed ball before relief pitcher Zach Adams ended the inning with a strikeout. The Bearkats also made a run in the bottom of the ninth inning but left three batters stranded as Adams struck out the game's final batter to get out of the jam.
Ute starter Bryn Card went 6.1 innings, allowing two runs (one earned) on seven hits, striking out four. Adams had four strikeouts and got his first career save.
Green and Cron each had two hits in game two.
"We found a way to win today," head coach Bill Kinneberg said. "We did a great job hanging in there in game one and came from behind. In the second game we held on in the ninth inning. Over the last three games we have gotten out of jams by either making good pitches or good defensive plays when it counts. That is a real positive for us at this point.
"Our pitching was really good today. Bryn and Andrew both pitched very well to start and Streich and Adams were outstanding. Our six guys that have pitched this weekend have all been really good."
The Utes will go for the series sweep on Sunday. Rick Anton gets the start on the mound for Utah.

Former Chief Deputy County Attorney Kirsten Pabst announced plans to enter an upcoming election for Missoula County Attorney.
Pabst, considered by some to be the heir-apparent to the county attorney's seat, confirmed Tuesday evening that she will run for the office.
Current Missoula County Attorney Fred Van Valkenburg made headlines for refusing to participate with a U.S. Department of Justice investigation into sexual assault cases and has announced he plans to retire next year.
Pabst served as a deputy prosecutor in the Missoula County Attorney's Office for 15 years. She's currently a private defense attorney.
She told NBC Montana she wants to "realign the office with community values of cooperation, open conversation and compassion."
"We need more cooperation and less fighting, we need more conversation and transparency and less secrecy," Pabst said during an interview Wednesday. "I think most importantly we need more compassion. Compassion for victims, compassion for defendants, everybody involved in the process should be treated like they are members of our own family."
Jason Marks, a current deputy county attorney, has announced he will run for the spot as well. Both Marks and Pabst are running as Democrats, no Republicans have filed for the 2014 election yet.

Metal Lathers and Reinforcing Iron Workers Local 46 has endorsed Democrat James Kemmerer in the race for the State Senate seat in the 22nd District, where a large portion of the local's membership lives.
In a statement urging his members to vote for Kemmerer, Local 46 president John Skinner said the union only supports candidates who will fight for working class families in Albany on issues like education, income inequality, jobs, wages and workers' rights, on which he knows Kemmerer will be "right there with us."
Skinner characterized the Republican-Conservative incumbent Marty Golden, who crossed a union picket line in his own district a few years ago, as out of touch with the membership of Local 46. He is glad, he said, to have a candidate like Kemmerer, who understands what working families are going through -- and can be trusted never to cross a picket line.
In accepting the endorsement, Kemmerer said he knows how hard the members of Local 46 work and understands the financial toll of raising a family in Brooklyn, promising to be an ally of working people.
Kemmerer, a small business owner for over 14 years, lives in Bay Ridge with his wife Elisha and their two-year- old son, Jerome. You can learn more about his campaign at jameskemmerer.com.

Domina Prestige Emilio CruiseNile Cruises 5 star
Traveller reviews
"We traveled on The Emilio in February 2015 and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. The cabin was clean, spacious and cleaned and tidied every day. All the staff were helpful, cheerful and attentive. I would recommend this boat to anyone. We went fully inclusive and that made things very simple. Every one you meet in Egypt will try to part you from your money and as long as you accept that if they don't get your money they don't eat then it's much easier to cope with what's seen as harassment and rip-off."

"We have just come back from a week cruise on MS Emilio. We have had a great time. The boat is kept spotlessly clean our cabin was cleaned twice a day with two different towel sculptures every day! All of the staff are polite,friendly, helpful and smartly turned out at all times. Our tour guide,Ahmed, was so passionate and informative about all things Egyptian - we now know the difference between a lotus bud and a lotus flower on a column,we know our Osiris from our Horus,can start to understand hieroglyphs etc etc! The food is good and plentiful - one of our table mates was a vegan the chef prepared some individual dishes for her. The guy who ran the shop got me some items which he didn't keep in stock at a good price.
The Nile scenery was magical,leaning against the rails watching the ever changing scenery pass us by was so relaxing. The temples were awesome and really made you think about times long ago. The Egyptian night on board was great fun with lots so people dressing in Egyptian dress to add to the fun.I cannot fault our Nile adventure - thank you."

"3 star at best.
We have just returned from a 7 nights cruise on MS Emilio and a 4 night stay in the Old Palace Resort in Hurghada which was booked through Travel Interaction the agents in Egypt was You Travel which came under the umbrella of Meeting Point. We started our holiday with a 3 night stay at the Old Palace. The hotel was lovely a truly 5 star Hotel.
We got picked up by Meeting Point for the Journey to Luxor to the boat at 1 pm we had been told that it was a 3-4 hour journey. We in fact arrived at the boat at 7.30 pm as we had spent 2 hours travelling around Hurghada picking up which was absolutely ridiculous.
The booking it at reception was fast and we was allocated our room 329. As soon as we walked down the corridor there was strong smell of diesel as we walked towards the rear of the boat and we was the next to last cabin above the engine room. The room was dreary and was in need of redecorating and upgrading. We set sail that evening and the following morning we moored in Komombo.
Day 1
We had our welcome meeting that morning we were told by the guide that the tips of £27 per person was compulsory. We found later in the week that some people had not paid this but had elected to tip individually. We booked the trips package ( which we thought some was included free with the cruise) which was the visits to Valley of the kings, Karnak, Edfu, Aswan, Komombo temple. This cost £140 per person and we also booked Abu Simbel £80 and a trip to the Nubian Village £24. We met some people who had actually booked all these trips in resorts and got them 25% cheaper.
The first trip to Komombo temple was lovely but it was just a short walk off the boat so could have been done individually at a cost of 30LE ( £3).
Day 2
Aswan… 7 am start and we did the High Dam and Temple trip. Some people just caught a taxi there. The guide Ahmed was really informative but on our way back to the boat we was taken to a perfume shop where we had to endure 2 hours of sales pitch the buy perfumes and essential oils.
In afternoon we went on a motor boat to the Nubian village which was lovely and well worth the money of £24 pp.
Day 3
Aswan…. A 2.45 am early morning call to go the Abu Simbel. The journey was about 3 ½ hours but the cost of £80 was well worth it. If you do this trip make sure you take a pillow with you.
Day 4
Edfu… Visit to Edfu temple and then sail straight back to Luxor. Again this trip can be done individually as it is walking distance to the boat cost 30 LE (£2)
Day 5/6/7
Luxor…. We were moored against a disused boat so our view from the balcony window was crates of empty coca cola bottles Which was going to be the view for the last 3-days of the cruise. The first night in Luxor I complained about a smell in the room of diesel and we had an engineer in the cabin at Midnight to investigate. The following morning we was moved to the opposite side of the boat up one floor and this room had a lovely view of the Nile. We felt a bit cheated as this was a Nile Cruise but spent 3 days moored up in Luxor. The trips to Karnak Temple and Valley of the Kings was excellent be aware that you have to go through the Papyrus shops for 1 hour after the visits.
The boat MS Emilio.
Food was repetitive and tasteless with little choice. If you didn't get in the queue early most of the food had gone and it wasn't replenished. There was not enough cutlery in the dining room and on more than one occasion I had to stir my coffee with a fork because there was no tea spoons.. None of the chefs were wearing gloves and no tongs for handing dry food like bread. In all the hygiene was poor.
There was little regard to safety we saw fire doors propped open with fire extinguishers. The was no notice of assembly points in case of emergency and we were never told were the life jackets were stored although we found them in the wardrobe. One day we were sailing with the main doors unlocked with just a table in front. Someone complained but they dismissed it saying it would be fine.
You also got an option to upgrade all inclusive for £20 per person per day. We didn't do this but be aware that some people we spoke to found that they were slow getting served and also you can only get served wine in the restaurant but not the bar although if you weren't all inclusive you could buy wine in all the bars. If you wer all inclusive you could only get drinks between 11 am -11 pm and not even tea or coffee outside of these times. The drinks were expensive e.g. 42 LE (£4.20) for a 500 ml bottle of lager.
We paid at the start of the cruise £54 in tips so if everyone on the boat paid these that would be over £3500 in tips. There was 60 staff on the boat and we was told that the waiters and bar staff only see £5 of this so what happens to the other £3k.
We did have an enjoyable week sightseeing and would recommend it for this alone but the boat was in need of an upgrade it claims to be 5 star but I would rate it 3 star at best."

"My wife and I sailed on the Ms Domina Prestige during February 2014 against the advice of friends who traveled on this boat in the early part of 2013 before the Foreign office restrictions. I really should have known better than disregard our friends advice, all the problems and issues that he identified where still present on board.
The sun beds and gym equipment (I use this term loosely) were poor to be kind and shameful to be honest. The covers on the bed looked like they were purchased from the cheapest market stall and never washed or cleaned. The Gym equipment had exposed wires and only worked intermittently
Our cabin, was small but we expected that given the size of the boat, but we did expect it to be clean, we did expect the bathroom to be free of cracked tiles and mold on the joints. The towels and bed linen had seen much better days (probably a very long time ago) and were now grey in color rather than white. I was amazed, given that Egyptian cotton is considered to be the best in the world yet was so poor on board.
Buffet food was passable, edible but not great, mostly just about warm, and very bland everything seemed to be the same color and texture, a bit like your worst Indian meal. The staff, chef's and everybody on board were very good, trying to cover the problems on board. But there was only so much they could do.
The sites, amazing, the country and its people fabulous the Domina Prestige not worth the money and certainly not something I could possibly recommend, please take my friends advice and give this boat a wide berth."

"We had the most perfect holiday on this boat. We booked through Co-operative Travel/Classic Tours and the company on the boat were Orbital Travel. Given the political situation we had been concerned about safety, but from the moment of meeting the Orbital Guides we felt absolutely safe. The guides were helpful, informative and very knowledgeable about Egyptian architecture and history. We added all the options and so saw a lot. The bird watching option was an unexpected delight. The boat and staff were also brilliant - nothing seemed too much trouble. Everything was very clean. The food was varied, substantial and tasty - of a broadly European cuisine, with Egyptian touches. We were all-inclusive which meant not only wine/beer with meals but free bottled mineral water. Doing all the trips did mean getting less sleep, but that was well worth it."

"We went in a group on 19th November. The boat was excellent, very clean. The service was excellent. We reached very late because of the flight dleay. They left sandwiches, fruits and water in our cabin. Five of us were vegetarian and the chef prepared veg. dish for us everyday which was really good - 8/10. The room was good - they always do different designs of flowers or birds etc on the bed. We heard some negative reviews but good job we didn't take seriously. The bar service was good, we use to get as much water as we want. Our tour guide was George who was very good at explaining. The transport was fully a/c and was good.

"Fantastic first time in Egypt excellent holiday.Nile Cruise Oct 2012
Domina Prestige Emilio Nile Cruise boat is beautiful with high standard of cleanliness. Lovely air conditioned clean cabin. Looked forward daily to receiving origami using towels in our cabin. Fantastic views from top deck while relaxing on comfortable padded loungers and chairs in sunbathing and shaded areas. Sunrises and sunsets are spectacular. Nice pool for cooling down and towels provided. Enjoyed the massages, pedicures, manicures and reflexology available at small cost.
All inclusive was very good. We are fussy eaters and were very happy with the choices and quality of food provided. Antibacterial hand gel provided at entrance to restaurant. All inclusive drinks available from 11.30 till 23.30. Bottled water available from bar staff for taking on next day for early morning trips.
Recommend you do as many trips as possible as Egypt is rich with history and culture and friendly egyptians. We went on all of the inclusive and optional trips, our personnel favourites were the sunrise balloon ride, Karnack Temple daytime and Karnack Temple night light show but we enjoyed all of our trips. Our tour guide accompanied us on every trip and was very knowledgeable and informative. I recommend a hat, comfortable walking shoes, long shorts or cargo pants and loose cotton tops for trips to keep cool and avoid sunburn. Onboard cruise tourists wore varied clothing.
From collection at Luxor airport until we returned to UK all organised transportation in Egypt was efficiently on time and all vehicles were air conditioned we were extremely impressed. Coaches have toilet facilities.
We had a fantastic time with the British group of people on our trips, meal times and evenings together and enjoyed the friendliness of other nationalities.
Excellent team effort from the staff to ensure your holiday is an enjoyable experience. All of the staff were efficient, polite, friendly, helpful, attentive and always smiling. They made us feel very special. To name a few, Abdul the restaurant waiter provided excellent friendly customer service and table entertainment, Seyam the branch managers organisational and customer service skills are second to none. Antoine the general manager ensures that he and all his staff provide an excellent friendly customer service and nothing is too much trouble.
We constantly heard we are happy when you are happy.
ATM not available on board, this was not an issue as upon request our tour guide took us to ATMs after trips onshore. Found difficulty getting low denomination Egyptian pounds for tipping and purchasing. Suggest you order from your bank before travelling.
We experienced no issues with regard to personnel safety onboard cruise or trips.
We highly recommend this Emilio Nile Cruise to everyone and look forward to being on the same cruise next year for another excellent holiday.
Thank you very much. Kim and Willie"

"This is the 2nd Nile Cruise for us as there is so much to see. The boat is well equiped with beautiful cabins, very clean with patio doors. no english TV but did not miss this. On the sun deck there is a fab pool, very shallow area to allow you to lay in the water to cool down and a deeper part to swim, not Olympic size but what do you expect on a Nile Cruise! Crew on the boat are very polite and please to see the British Tourists as they get involved in all the activities. You will need good walking shoes, hats and dont worry about long trousers for dinner the Germans wear shorts. Only downsside was the fully inclusive option, it is a must to have as you will drinks lots to keep cool, but the bars do not open until 11:30am so if you are back from a tour early you can either pay for a drink or wait. Get bottles of water before you go to bed at night and keep in your mini bar.
All in all this is an excellent choice of boat with a great crew and a professional tour guide. Ours was Sam who really brings the Egyption history alive."

"My husband & I were on the Emilio in June 2012 and had a wonderful time. The staff of the ship were phenomenal and they truly "made" the trip. Anything that the ship may have lacked in 5 star amenities was easily overlooked as the staff was exceptionally gracious. The spa and gym were not well equipped, but this was not a big disappointment for us as we just skipped massages and working out for the week. The cabins were clean and the beds comfortable and linens fresh. Our tour guide, Ehab, thru Flash Tours was superb. By the end of the week we felt as if Ehab and the staff on the ship were like family. One thing we found disappointing was the smoking in common areas etc. We aren't used to smoking in public spaces."

"Domina Prestige ms Emilio
18/06/2012 to 25/06/2012
Just returned from a Nile cruise on MS Domina with Orbital travel this is a fantastic ship very clean and
A wonderful staff, our waiter Abdul kept us stocked with plenty of wine at lunch
And dinner. Food was good and hot. Our cabin cleaner left a different design with our
Towels each night. Our guide for the week was Mina a very very good guide kept us
Fully informed and knows his Egyptian History he certainly made every trip enjoyable.
MS Domina is a 5 * ship. Only complaint and that is smoking is allowed although only on
One side of the lounge. They did try to ban it altogether apart from the sun deck but
Booking went down.
there is no troubles in this part of Egypt everyone we came across very friendly all problems
are in Cairo, but with the election now over things may calm down. Cabins are cleaned twice a day.
clean towels every day.
Not sure if Bradbrad(report further down) was on same boat because her comments are completely wrong.
Issac the orbital Rep met us at the airport and issued us our visa he then ushered us through security and to our coach Once on the boat we were introduced to Mina our guide for the week who gave us an insight into what Was to come.
Also Bradbrad could never have been on a ship before as dark wood is used a lot in cabins as for toilet facilities quite a few middle east countries do not allow paper to be flushed away.
All in all a very enjoyable week."

"I had a great time on the Domina Prestige Emilio Cruise! I took a week Cruise down the Nile in June! The rooms were cleaned twice a day and were very well kept. The staff were all professional, super friendly and went above and beyond their duty. They were willing and ready to serve with a smile to accommodate any need we would have. I had a great time in the pool and I liked that it had a section to wade and just sit in the water. It could have been a bit bigger for my liking but it was still great and sufficient to cool off. The food was fresh, hot and very tasty. I thought they could have changed up the food a bit more and more variety but they did a really good job. The front desk staff were great and very helpful with the Internet and using the computers. That was much appreciated to have quick access to email people back home and stay connected and they were very committed to serve us. I would highly recommend this boat, the staff and the food! Also I really felt the staff cared for our safety and well being and being responsible that we were safe, and that was really nice as well. Thank you again!"

Most rural households in the developing world rely on subsistence farming for food security but, increasingly, agriculture is also the main income source for these vulnerable groups. Inclusive agribusiness seeks to benefit these low income farmers by engaging them in an agribusiness or an agribusiness ecosystem - improving their productivity and helping them to reach profitable and secure markets.
However, these farmers may lack the skills or resources to really benefit from this…Continue

Thank you Georgie. I will get something to you on VSLA and developing agricultural skills - also interesting is the difference between northern and southern regions of Malawi - much more wealth up here it seems.
Thanks, Georgina. I will try to put some info on WALA agribusiness in the coming weeks. The platform has quite a bit of interesting info which I think will benefit our work and we also look forward to sharing our lessons.
I would love to join the agriculture network. what should I do
thanks Georgina - enjoy the output of the practitioner hub - keen to find a route to get involved and to find some synergies for initiatives here in SA
Hi Georgie,
I just read the article and its very intresting. This is something that we want to do as we scale up our outgrower progammes on Cassava and Potato. Using moblie technology for technical backstopping to alert farmers on spray schedules, pest and diseases etc is already in place in parts of India and we want to bring this into our areas of operations in the near future. There is also the question of how to charge mobile phones in rural areas ? Solar powered phone charges ? I am sure someone has thought of this too
Cheers and talk to you soon

The Christmas Pageant
Friday, December 14, 2012
My husband and I had been happily married (most of the time) for five years but hadn't been blessed with a baby.
I decided to do some serious praying and promised God that if he would give us a child,
I would be a perfect mother, love it with all my heart and raise it with His word as my guide.
God answered my prayers and blessed us with a son.
The next year God blessed us with another son.
The following year, He blessed us with yet another son.
The year after that we were blessed with a daughter.
My husband thought we'd been blessed right into poverty.
We now had four children, and the oldest was only four years old.
I learned never to ask God for anything unless I meant it.
As a minister once told me, "If you pray for rain, make sure you carry an umbrella."
I began reading a few verses of the Bible to the children each day as they lay in their cribs..
I was off to a good start. God had entrusted me with four children and I didn't want to disappoint Him.
I tried to be patient the day the children smashed two dozen eggs on the kitchen floor searching for baby chicks.
I tried to be understanding... when they started a hotel for homeless frogs in the spare bedroom, although it took me nearly two hours to catch all twenty-three frogs.
When my daughter poured ketchup all over herself and rolled up in a blanket to see
how it felt to be a hot dog, I tried to see the humor rather than the mess..
In spite of changing over twenty-five thousand diapers, never eating a hot meal
and never sleeping for more than thirty minutes at a time, I still thank God daily for my children.
While I couldn't keep my promise to be a perfect mother- I didn't even come close...
I did keep my promise to raise them in the Word of God.
I knew I was missing the mark just a little when I told my daughter we were going
to church to worship God, and she wanted to bring a bar of soap along to "wash up" Jesus, too.
Something was lost in the translation when I explained that God gave us everlasting life,
and my son thought it was generous of God to give us his "last wife."
My proudest moment came during the children's Christmas pageant.
My daughter was playing Mary, two of my sons were shepherds
and my youngest son was a wise man. This was their moment to shine.
My five-year-old shepherd had practiced his line, "We found the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes."
But he was nervous and said, "The baby was wrapped in wrinkled clothes."
My four-year-old "Mary" said,
"That's not 'wrinkled clothes,' silly. That's dirty, rotten clothes."
A wrestling match broke out between Mary and the shepherd and was stopped by an angel,
who bent her halo and lost her left wing.
I slouched a little lower in my seat when Mary dropped the doll representing Baby Jesus, and it bounced down the aisle crying, "Mama-mama."
Mary grabbed the doll, wrapped it back up and held it tightly as the wise men arrived.
My other son stepped forward wearing a bathrobe and a paper crown, knelt at the manger and announced,
"We are the three wise men, and we are bringing gifts of gold, common sense and fur."
The congregation dissolved into laughter, and the pageantgot a standing ovation.
"I've never enjoyed a Christmas program as much as this one," laughed the pastor, wiping tears from his eyes
"For the rest of my life, I'll never hear the Christmas story without thinking of gold, common sense and fur."
"My children are my pride and my joy and my greatest blessing," I said as I dug through my purse for an aspirin.
Jesus had no servants, yet they called Him Master.
Had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher .
Had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer.
Had no army, yet kings feared Him.
He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world.
He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him.
He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today.
Feel honored to serve such a Leader who loves us.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, and GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

The research laboratory of Resham Bhattacharya, Ph.D., is interested in studying the chromatin-modifying epigenetic repressors, called polycomb genes, in signaling in ovarian cancer.
Isolated ovarian cancer stem cells exhibit much higher Bmi-1 levels compared with the differentiated or parental bulk tumor cells, and they have increased resistance to cisplatin and paclitaxel when compared with the tumor cells.
Dr. Bhattacharya and her team are investigating the role of Bmi-1 in promoting ovarian cancer stemness, metastasis, chemotherapy resistance and angiogenesis, all of which present a significant barrier to effective therapy.
Dr. Bhattacharya's overall goal is to develop new therapeutic strategies to effectively treat ovarian cancer, thereby making a difference in the lives of women affected by this disease.

Many reasons why he won't show up anytime soon:
First, we don't even really know the severity of the injury. No, I'm not trying to make the comparision between the last injury and this one, but afterall, he did limp off the court. I never really bought how icing was going to cure the last injury (even though that's what Ainge said) when he went down in Utah because when I saw the injury with my eyes wide open, I just knew it was much more than that. Same with this one, I'm not panicin but facing the ice cold fact.
If he were to show up and the fans see that he's still limping, grimacing, not walking right, they sure are going to question Ainge's 2 week timeframe. KG won't show up until he can at least stand still and walk without limping like he did in the Chicago & Magic series.
The Celtics organization is much more secretive with KGs injury compared to any other player just because they understand the importance of this guy's health and how much his health means to the franchise chasing #18.
For all we know from Ainge, he's out for 2 weeks and that's Ainge being on the conservative side. Why haven't we heard anything from any other player/coach/Ed since the MRI? That we don't know and we won't know because they won't say anything other than "hopefully he comes back fully healthy very soon." No information on the progress, no nothing.
For me, I will not be surprised at all if he doesn't come back even after the all-star break. They sure ain't going to force him to play knowing what happened last time they did that.
I hope I'm wrong. Truly.
In the meantime, I hope Rondo and Delonte come back sooner than expected, esp. Delonte. I understand Rondo is going to have to deal with his hammy and now ankle throughout the season, but boy this team should be in a much better survivor mode if we just had delonte.
