Woodley-Saffiedine Bout To Headline at Nashville Municipal Auditorium
NEW YORK (Dec. 20, 2010) – Four-time U.S. National Judo Champ and 2004 U.S. Judo Olympian Dr. Rhadi Ferguson will put his perfect MMA record on the line against up-and-coming undefeated light heavyweight Ion Cherdivara on the STRIKEFORCE Challengers Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fight cardpresented by Rockstar Energy Drink on Friday, Jan. 7, 2011, at Nashville Municipal Auditorium in Nashville, Tenn., live on SHOWTIME® at 11 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the West Coast).
The only athlete to compete in the Olympic Games, the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) World Championships and the Abu Dhabi Submission Wrestling World Championships, Ferguson is 2-0 with two TKOs as a light heavyweight (205) in MMA.
A BJJ silver medalist, the 35-year-old Ferguson has successfully transitioned to MMA after a brilliant career in Judo and BJJ. A member of America Top Team (ATT) in Coconut Creek, Fla., the longtime martial arts competitor is also a well-respected trainer having worked with Bobby Lashley,Thiago Alves and Brandon Vera, among others.
"I don't think MMA is ever a natural transition," Ferguson said. "I did Judo, I did BJJ, I'm astrength and conditioning coach and a judo coach for some top MMA fighters. After training these guys for a while the sport caught me a little bit. I'm 35, but I feel like I still have some stuff in the tank.
"I'm satisfied with my athletic career but I wouldn't mind putting the STRIKEFORCE Light Heavyweight title belt on my mantel."
Ferguson, who also trains at Gracie Tampa and Nashville MMA, is excited by the challenge of MMA and the task of becoming a more well-rounded fighter.
"The thing about fighting is it makes me feel free," Ferguson said. "I think what I enjoy from MMA is the newness of it – it's new to me and there's so much to learn. When you become good at a sport like Judo you have core skills that you hone in on so much. You're only focused on that.
"With MMA, there are so many things which you have to become proficient at. You don't have to be good at everything but you're proficiency has to be high to be a true mixed martial artist."
To get to 3-0, Ferguson will have to first beat a tough, and much younger, wrestler.
"It's a good matchup, it's an even matchup," Ferguson said. "I have no fear of losing, but I don't get super excited for winning. I get energized and get my thrills from training and the chance to test myself.
"My game plan is the same plan I always have – to have my hand raised at the end. I never really thought that it was the truth until it happened to me. You're game plan goes straight out the window when you get hit in the mouth. You go straight into survival mode."
The Miami, Fla., native was a three-sport star at Howard University in the mid-90s competing in football, wrestling and track & field. Ferguson then went on to compete in Olympic Judo as an alternate at the 2000 Olympics and a member of the '04 team. While training for the Olympics, he furthered his schooling and received a doctorate in education in '09 from Capella University.
His wife, Traci, is a medical doctor in Tampa, Fla., and the couple has two children – 4-year-old son Rufus and 11-month old daughter Rhadi.
A highly-regarded prospect and member of Brazilian Top Team Canada, Cherdivara (1-0, 1 KO) will make his STRIKEFORCE debut in Nashville. Already well-known in the Montreal fight scene, the powerful Moldovan-born light heavyweight is looking to become a threat in STRIKEFORCE's deep light heavyweight division.
A former member of the Moldovan national wrestling team, Cherdivara has raw power and has been sharpening his boxing and other striking skills for his multi-fight deal with STRIKEFORCE. His training routine that includes shadow boxing with a 90-pound dumbbell has become legendary in the Montreal fight scene.
"I'm only 1-0 because I've had a hard time finding fights in Montreal," Cherdivara said. "No one wants to fight me. With STRIKEFORCE, I'll finally be able to face some quality opponents who otherwise wouldn't dare fight me. I'm looking to face the best light heavyweights STRIKEFORCE has to offer."
Tickets for the STRIKEFORCE Challengers event are on sale at the Nashville Municipal Auditorium ticket office, all Ticketmaster locations (800) 745-3000 including Kroger and FYE, Ticketmaster online (www.ticketmaster.com <http://www.ticketmaster.com/> ) and STRIKEFORCE's official website (www.strikeforce.com <http://www.strikeforce.com/> ). The first non-televised, undercard fight on Jan. 7 will begin at 7:30 CT. Doors will open at 7.
Other televised fights: undefeated up-and-coming heavyweight prospect and former U.S. Olympic wrestling star Daniel Cormier (6-0) of San Jose, Calif. faces Devin Cole (18-8-1) of Medford, Ore., former University of Tennessee linebacker Ovince Saint Preux (9-4) will be opposed by fellow quickster "Abongo" Humphrey (7-2) of Atlanta, and promising Julia "The Jewel" Budd (1-0) of British Columbia, Canada, faces Amanda "Lioness Of The Ring" Nunes (5-1), of Salvador, Brazil, in a women's middleweight (145 pounds) match.
About STRIKEFORCE
STRIKEFORCE (www.STRIKEFORCE.com <http://www.strikeforce.com/> ) is a world-class mixed martial arts cage fight promotion which, on Friday, March 10, 2006, made history with its "Shamrock vs. Gracie" event, the first sanctioned mixed martial arts fight card in California state history. The star-studded extravaganza, which pitted legendary champion Frank Shamrock against Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt Cesar Gracie at San Jose's HP Pavilion, played host to a sold-out, record crowd of 18,265. Since 1995, STRIKEFORCE, sanctioned by ISKA, has been the exclusive provider of martial arts programming for ESPN and, after 12 years of success as a leading, world championship kickboxing promotion, the company unveiled its mixed martial arts (MMA) series with "Shamrock vs. Gracie." In May 2008, West Coast Productions, the parent company of STRIKEFORCE, partnered with Silicon Valley Sports & Entertainment (SVS&E), an entity created in 2000 to oversee all business operation aspects of the San Jose Sharks and HP Pavilion at San Jose. In March 2009, STRIKEFORCE signed a multi-year agreement with SHOWTIME® to stage live events on the premium cable television network. The promotion has since also produced two live, primetime events on the CBS Television Network.

Are you guys drooling over the selection of platforms and wedges out right now like we are? It seems like every time we browse the web or check IG, there is a pair calling our name. To be honest, when the seasons change and it is time to up your shoe game, it is often hard to splurge on trendy pieces that we just can't see ourselves wearing in everyday "mom world". What we love about wedges and platforms is that, unlike a heel, you could actually wear these out for a few errands with the kids, a lunch date with your girlfriend, or even a date night with your guy! It is a win win for us! We even love the idea of pairing the Teva platform sandal with your favorite workout leggings after the gym just to take your style up a notch.
Here are some practical AND affordable pairs that we are swooooooning over….

Some folks pointed out yesterday that Yes/No dialogs aren't terribly HIG compliant. So I tweaked the API a bit to allow the usage of verbs instead of stock Yes/No buttons if desired.
response = yes_no(title,message, "_Add Verbs","_Don't add Verbs")
if response == gtk.RESPONSE_YES:
print "they said yes"
If you choose not to use the last two arguments for the Yes/No button labels, the dialog will simply default to the Stock buttons.

Maternity photography is gaining popularity as a means for couples to record their special moments together during pregnancy. The time between getting pregnant to 26 weeks after giving birth is known as the maternity period. It is therefore one of the most important and beautiful times in womanhood.
Read More: maternity photography Dallas
The body of the pregnant woman exquisitely reshapes to fit the developing baby as the infant develops inside her. Both the mother and the family will always cherish the countless memories these wonderful transformations leave behind. Maternity photography therefore captures this special time and the multitude of feelings that the mother, her family, and everyone else share with her.
This post is for you if you're a photographer trying to capture pregnant women's memories forever. This post will explain different types of equipment, maternity poses, how to make your picture shoot easier, and some of the best ideas for a stunning maternity portfolio.
Investing in professional equipment is a fantastic idea if you want to explore maternity photography. But, you may always begin with the very minimum of gear and capture stunning pregnancy photos.
Required Equipment: Camera
There isn't a particular kind of camera used for pregnancy shots. For professional photography, a DSLR or mirrorless camera is the best option. Hence, choose these cameras and make sure they have a resolution of at least 20 megapixels if you are shooting for a customer and supplying prints. Additionally, keep a look out for the eye focusing option, which enables you to concentrate on the subject rapidly. Mirrorless cameras are most commonly equipped with this capability. Lastly, since a full-frame camera gives you greater flexibility for post-production, you may also give it some thought.
Parental Poses
Following equipment preparation, you should be aware of a few possible stances for pregnancy photos. These poses include:
upcoming mother
The most significant topic for your pregnancy photos is a soon-to-be mother. As a result, prioritize documenting the woman's physical changes while taking care of their whole family. It's also advised to take full-length pictures of them and zoom in to highlight their expanding tummy. Standard positions like as standing, sitting, and reclining can be played with and modified. Furthermore, ask them to bend whenever it suits them, and make an effort to accentuate their curves using three-quarter positions. Always make sure their arms reveal their bodies, and keep an eye out for rolls and wrinkles. However, stay away from angles like square-shoulder and straight-on photos that make your subject's tummy seem flat.
In a maternity couple's portrait, the expectant parents are captured in one frame. Therefore, it would be beneficial to portray their emotional connection. You can give them certain stances that foster closeness for this reason. You may also encourage them to stare at each other or the father to grasp or touch her tummy so you can capture a close-up or a full-length photo.

- Wikipedia, eh? Must be accurate then!
- Life doesn't happen in chapters — at least, not regular ones. Nor do movies. Homer didn't write in chapters. I can see what their purpose is in children's books ("I'll read to the end of the chapter, and then you must go to sleep") but I'm blessed if I know what function they serve in books for adults.
- On the lack of chapters in Discworld books, in an interview by Gavin J. Grant at Booksource.com (2008)
- As for The Mapp... I suspect it'll never get a US publication. It seemed to frighten US publishers. They don't seem to understand it.
That seems to point up a significant difference between Europeans and Americans:
A European says: I can't understand this, what's wrong with me? An American says: I can't understand this, what's wrong with him?
I make no suggestion that one side or the other is right, but observation over many years leads me to believe it is true.- Interview, quoted in "Words from the Master" in The Annotated Pratchett File
- The space between the young readers eyeballs and the printed page is a holy place and officialdom should trample all over it at their peril.
- Nerds are the only people who know how to operate the video recorder.
- I dare say that quite a few people have contemplated death for reasons that much later seemed to them to be quite minor. If we are to live in a world where a socially acceptable "early death" can be allowed, it must be allowed as a result of careful consideration.
Let us consider me as a test case. As I have said, I would like to die peacefully with Thomas Tallis on my iPod before the disease takes me over and I hope that will not be for quite some time to come, because if I knew that I could die at any time I wanted, then suddenly every day would be as precious as a million pounds. If I knew that I could die, I would live. My life, my death, my choice.- Final lines of his Richard Dimbleby lecture Shaking Hands With Death on euthanasia and assisted suicide, quoted in "Terry Pratchett: my case for a euthanasia tribunal" in The Guardian (2 February 2010)
[edit]- I keep vaguely wondering what Macs are like, but the ones I've seen spend too much time being friendly.
- Never trust any complicated cocktail that remains perfectly clear until the last ingredient goes in, and then immediately clouds.
- "Educational" refers to the process, not the object. Although, come to think of it, some of my teachers could easily have been replaced by a cheeseburger.
- In response to a comment that if television is educational because watching it can teach you a lot about society, then a cheeseburger is also educational, alt.fan.pratchett (15 October 1996)
- I don't like the place at all. It's all wrong. An imposition on the Landscape. I reckon that Stonehenge was build by the contemporary equivalent of Microsoft, whereas Avebury was definitely an Apple circle.
- Dickens, as you know, never got round to starting his home page.
- Over the centuries, mankind has tried many ways of combatting the forces of evil... prayer, fasting, good works and so on. Up until Doom, no one seemed to have thought about the double-barrel shotgun. Eat leaden death, demon...
- 'They can ta'k our lives but they can never ta'k our freedom!' Now there's a battle cry not designed by a clear thinker...
- Referring to a statement in the movie Braveheart, at alt.fan.pratchett (11 January 1999)
- There should be a notice ahead of the movie that says 'This movie is PG. Can you read? You are a Parent. Do you understand what Guidance is? Or are you just another stupid toddler who thinks they're an adult simply because they've grown older and, unfortunately, have developed fully-functioning sexual organs? Would you like some committee somewhere to decide *everything* for you? Get a damn grip, will you? And shut the wretched kid up !'
- While a book has got to be worthwhile from the point of view of the reader it's got to be worthwhile from the point of view of the writer as well.
- It's amazing how fast gold works.
- On building the clacks, at alt.fan.pratchett (18 June 2002)
- Oh dear, I'm feeling political today. It's just that it's dawned on me that 'zero tolerance' only seems to mean putting extra police in poor, run-down areas, and not in the Stock Exchange.
- Go on, prove me wrong. Destroy the fabric of the universe. See if I care.
- I once absent-mindedly ordered Three Mile Island dressing in a restaurant and, with great presence of mind, they brought Thousand Island Dressing and a bottle of chili sauce
- Oh, come on. Revelation was a mushroom dream that belonged in the Apocrypha. The New Testament is basically about what happened when God got religion
- What your soldier wants -- really, really wants -- is no-one shooting back at him.
- You can't make people happy by law. If you said to a bunch of average people two hundred years ago "Would you be happy in a world where medical care is widely available, houses are clean, the world's music and sights and foods can be brought into your home at small cost, traveling even 100 miles is easy, childbirth is generally not fatal to mother or child, you don't have to die of dental abcesses and you don't have to do what the squire tells you" they'd think you were talking about the New Jerusalem and say 'yes'.
- A true beanie should have a propellor on the top.
- This isn't life in the fast lane, it's life in the oncoming traffic.
- I mean, I wouldn't pay more than a couple of quid to see me, and I'm me.
- I think that sick people in Ankh-Morpork generally go to a vet. It's generally a better bet. There's more pressure on a vet to get it right. People say "it was god's will" when granny dies, but they get angry when they lose a cow.
- I have to admit that I drive past Bridgwater quite regularly. And fast.
- What you have here is an example of that well known phenomenon, A Bookshop Assistant Who Knows Buggerall But Won't Admit It (probably some kind of arts graduate).
- I staggered into a Manchester bar late one night on a tour and the waitress said "You look as if you need a Screaming Orgasm". At the time this was the last thing on my mind...
- In Reading [England] there is this thing called the IDR, short for "Inner Distribution Road", which is bureaucratese for "Big thing that cost a lot of money and relieves traffic problems, provided all your traffic wants to orbit the town centre permanently". It's a 2-3 lane dual carriageway that goes round the town centre. It has lots of roundabouts, an overhead section, a couple of spare motorway-like exits (that's British motorways -- y'know, the roundabout with the main road going under it), and a thing called the Watlington Street Gyratory, where you have to get in lane for your intended destination about three years and two corners before you get there with no signposting. I used to cycle along it every day to get to school, before I fell off at 35 mph. [Kids! Don't try this at home!] I know it well. I believe it is impossible to leave Reading heading west.
- I didn't go to university. Didn't even finish A-levels. But I have sympathy for those who did.
- "Out of Print" is bookseller speak for "We can't be hedgehogged".
- I was thinking of 'duh?' in the sense of 'a sentence containing several words more than three letters long, and possibly requiring general knowledge or a sense of history that extends past last Tuesday, has been used in my presence.'
- Bognor has always meant to me the quintessential English seaside experience (before all this global warming stuff): driving in the rain to get there, walking around in the rain looking for something to do when you're there, and driving home in the rain again...
- I must confess the activities of the UK governments for the past couple of years have been watched with frank admiration and amazement by Lord Vetinari. Outright theft as a policy had never occurred to him.
- I'm referred to, I see, as 'the biggest banker in modern publishing'. Now there's a line that needed the celebrated Guardian proof-reading.
- I save about twenty drafts — that's ten meg of disc space — and the last one contains all the final alterations. Once it has been printed out and received by the publishers, there's a cry here of 'Tough shit, literary researchers of the future, try getting a proper job!' and the rest are wiped.
- I always thought Detritus would be good at: "I bet you're wondrin' how many time I fired dis crossbow--"
- Mind you, the Elizabethans had so many words for the female genitals that it is quite hard to speak a sentence of modern English without inadvertently mentioning at least three of them.
- Currently there's five machines permanently networked here. They all contain the serious core stuff. A couple of the machines are pensioned off 486s, with little other value now. Plus there's two Jaz drives in the building and the portable also carries a fair amount of stuff. Plus every Friday a man comes around and carves all the new stuff onto stone slabs and buries them in the garden... I think I'm okay.
- If I heeded all the advice I've had over the years, I'd have written 18 books about Rincewind.
- Have a bit more patience with newbies. Of course some of them act dumb -- they're often students, for heaven's sake.
- Death isn't online. If he was, there would be a sudden drop in the death rate. Although it'd be interesting to see if he'd post things like: DON'T YOU THINK I SOUND LIKE JAMES EARL JONES?
- The net software here did its meltdown trick again at the weekend (it happens about once every six months -- if only everything was as reliable as WordPerfect 4.2, which only chews up a novel about once every two or three years...)
- I'd like to stand up for the rights of people who put everything on their burger -- chutney, mustard, pickle, mustard pickle, tomato sauce... It is common knowledge in my family that I can't tell the difference between a veggie burger and a meat one, because the ratio of burger to pickles is so high. [either misquoted or mis-thought, since not to be able to tell would mean the burger:pickles ratio is so low]
- Mort isn't fashionable UK movie material -- there're no parts in it for Hugh or Emma, it's not set in Sheffield, and no one shoves drugs up their bum...
- Too many people want to have written.
- DW is based on a slew of old myths, which reach their most 'refined' form in Hindu mythology, which in turn of course derived from the original Star Trek episode 'Planet of Wobbly Rocks where the Security Guard Got Shot'.
- Eight years involved with the nuclear industry have taught me that when nothing can possibly go wrong and every avenue has been covered, then is the time to buy a house on the next continent.
- Up until now I'd always thought RSI meant 'I hate my damn job'.
The Carpet People (1971; 1992)
[edit]- This book had two authors, and they were both the same person.
- Author's note, revised edition (1992).
- They called themselves the Munrungs. It meant The People, or The True Human Beings.
It's what most people call themselves, to begin with. And then one day the tribe meets some other People or, if it's not been a good day, The Enemy. If only they'd think up a name like Some More True Human Beings, it'd save a lot of trouble later on.
- On the fifth day the Governor of the town called all the tribal chieftains to an audience in the market square, to hear their grievances. He didn't always do anything about them, but at least they got heard, and he nodded a lot, and everyone felt better about it at least until they got home. This is politics.
- Keep 'em busy. That was one of the three rules of being chief that old Grimm had passed on to him. Act confidently, never say 'I don't know,' and when all else fails, keep 'em busy.
- I wish that the people who sing about the deeds of heroes would think about the people who have to clear up after them.
- Anyway, just because you're sworn enemies doesn't mean you can't be friends, does it?
- When they're standing right in front of you, kings are a kind of speech impediment.
- 'I can't have your subjects throwing my family over the balcony, that would never do.'
'Good,' said Snibril.
'I'll do it myself.'
- 'Whose side are they on?' said Brocando.
'Sides? Their own, I suppose, just like everyone else.'
- 'Stop that!' he shouted. 'You're soldiers! You're not supposed to fight!'
- Most armies are in fact run by their sergeants — the officers are there just to give things a bit of tone and prevent warfare from becoming a mere lower-class brawl.
- The Deftmenes are mad and the Dumii are sane, thought Snibril, and that's just the same as being mad except that it's quieter. If only you could mix them together, you'd end up with normal people.
- Normally its narrow streets were crowded with stalls, and people from all over the Carpet. They'd all be trying to cheat one another in that open-and-above-board way known as 'doing business'.
- The sign outside the shop said Apothecary, which meant that the shop was owned by a sort of early chemist, who would give you herbs and things until you got better or at least stopped getting any worse.
- 'Well ... welcome. My house is your house', his brow suddenly furrowed and he looked worried, 'although only in a metaphorical sense, you understand, because I would not, much as I always admired your straightforward approach, and indeed your forthright stance, actually give you my house, it being the only house I have, and therefore the term is being extended in an, as it were, gratuitous fashion —'
- 'What would Deftmenes be if we went around obeying orders all the time?'
'They might be ruling the Carpet,' said Pismire.
'Ha!' said Brocando, 'but the trouble about obeying orders is, it becomes a habit. And then everything depends on who's giving the orders.'
- 'Waiting is the worst part,' said Pismire.
'No it isn't,' said Owlglass, who wasn't even being trusted to hold a sword. 'I expect that having long sharp swords stuck in you is the worst part.'
- 'But we should kill him!'
'No. You've been listen to Brocando too often,' said Bane.
Brocando bristled. 'You know what he is! Why not kill--' he began, but he was interrupted.
'Because it doesn't matter what he is. It matters what we are.'
Equal Rites (1987)
[edit]- It is well known that a vital ingredient of success is not knowing that what you're attempting can't be done.
The Unadulterated Cat (1989)
[edit]- Our garden was debated territory between five local cats, and we'd heard that the best way to keep other cats out of the garden was to have one yourself. A moment's rational thought here will spot the slight flaw in this reasoning.
- Boot-faced cats aren't born but made, often because they've tried to outstare or occasionally rape a speeding car and have been repaired by a vet who just pulled all the bits together and stuck the stitches in where there was room.
- Cats don't hunt seals. They would if they knew what they were and where to find them. But they don't, so that's all right.
- It's an interesting fact that fewer than 17 % of Real cats end their lives with the same name they started with. Much family effort goes into selecting one at the start ("She looks like a Winnifred to me"), and the as the years roll by it suddenly finds itself being called Meepo or Ratbag.
- Next comes the realist phase ("After all, from a purely geometrical point of view a cat is only a tube with a door at the top.").
- About giving a cat a pill
- Everyone's heard of Erwin Schrodinger's famous thought experiment. You put a cat in a box with a bottle of poison, which many people would suggest is about as far as you need to go.
- Consider the situation. There you are, forehead like a set of balconies, worrying about the long-term effects of all this new 'fire' stuff on the environment, you're being chased and eaten by most of the planet's large animals, and suddenly tiny versions of one of the worst of them wanders into the cave and starts to purr.
The Nome Trilogy (1989 - 1990)
[edit]- The Nome Trilogy, also known as The Bromeliad Trilogy is a trilogy of children's books: Truckers (1989), Diggers (1990) and Wings (1990).
- Perhaps, if you knew you were going to die, your senses crammed in as much detail as they could while they still had the chance...
- Truckers, Ch. 1
- 'You're not going to die, are you sir?' he said.
'Of course I am. Everyone is. That's what being alive is all about.'- Truckers, Ch. 7
- The way to deal with an impossible task was to chop it down into a number of merely very difficult tasks, and break each one of them into a group of horribly hard tasks, and each of them into tricky jobs, and each of them...
- Truckers, Ch. 7
- The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.
- Diggers (1990)
Reaper Man (1991)
[edit]- Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it. (p.230, in the edition published in 1991 by Victor Gollancz, ISBN 0-575-04979-0)
Witches Abroad (1991)
[edit]- You can't go around building a better world for people. Only people can build a better world for people. Otherwise it's just a cage. Besides you don't build a better world by choppin' heads off and giving decent girls away to frogs.
Only You Can Save Mankind (1992)
[edit]- Everything makes sense a bit at a time. But when you try to think of it all at once, it comes out wrong.
Johnny and the Dead (1993)
[edit]- Suicide was against the law. Johnny had wondered why. It meant that if you missed, or the gas ran out, or the rope broke, you could get locked up in prison to show you that life was really very jolly and thoroughly worth living.
"I create gods all the time - now I think one might exist" (2008)
[edit]- There is a rumour going around that I have found God. I think this is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.
But it is true that in an interview I gave recently I did describe a sudden, distinct feeling I had one hectic day that everything I was doing was right and things were happening as they should.
It seemed like the memory of a voice and it came wrapped in its own brief little bubble of tranquillity. I'm not used to this.
As a fantasy writer I create fresh gods and philosophies almost with every new book ... But since contracting Alzheimer's disease I have spent my long winter walks trying to work out what it is that I really, if anything, believe.
- Evolution was far more thrilling to me than the biblical account. Who would not rather be a rising ape than a falling angel? To my juvenile eyes Darwin was proved true every day. It doesn't take much to make us flip back into monkeys again.
- A similar remark was reportedly made by Pratchett in The Herald (4 October 2004): I'd rather be a climbing ape than a falling angel.
- I asked a teacher what the opposite of a miracle was and she, without thinking, I assume, said it was an act of God.
You shouldn't say something like that to the kind of kid who will grow up to be a writer; we have long memories.
- As a boy I had a clear image of the Almighty: He had a tail coat and pinstriped trousers, black, slicked-down hair and an aquiline nose.
On the whole, I was probably a rather strange child, and I wonder what my life might have been like if I'd met a decent theologian when I was nine.
- I don't believe. I never have, not in big beards in the sky.
- Belief was never mentioned at home, but right actions were taught by daily example.
Possibly because of this, I have never disliked religion. I think it has some purpose in our evolution.
I don't have much truck with the "religion is the cause of most of our wars" school of thought because that is manifestly done by mad, manipulative and power-hungry men who cloak their ambition in God.
I number believers of all sorts among my friends. Some of them are praying for me. I'm happy they wish to do this, I really am, but I think science may be a better bet.
- So what shall I make of the voice that spoke to me recently as I was scuttling around getting ready for yet another spell on a chat-show sofa?
More accurately, it was a memory of a voice in my head, and it told me that everything was OK and things were happening as they should. For a moment, the world had felt at peace. Where did it come from?
Me, actually — the part of all of us that, in my case, caused me to stand in awe the first time I heard Thomas Tallis's Spem in alium, and the elation I felt on a walk one day last February, when the light of the setting sun turned a ploughed field into shocking pink; I believe it's what Abraham felt on the mountain and Einstein did when it turned out that E=mc2.
It's that moment, that brief epiphany when the universe opens up and shows us something, and in that instant we get just a sense of an order greater than Heaven and, as yet at least, beyond the grasp of Stephen Hawking. It doesn't require worship, but, I think, rewards intelligence, observation and enquiring minds.
I don't think I've found God, but I may have seen where gods come from.
[edit]- "I don't mind authority, but not authoritarian authority. After all, the bus driver is allowed to be the boss of the bus. But if he's bad at driving, he's not going to be a bus driver anymore." Interview with Cory Doctorow
- "I know it's a very human thing to say 'Is there anything I can do', but in this case I would only entertain offers from very high-end experts in brain chemistry." - after announcing his Alzheimer's diagnosis. [1]
- "I would just like to draw attention to everyone reading the above that this should be interpreted as 'I am not dead'. I will, of course, be dead at some future point, as will everybody else."[2]
- "It is often said that before you die your life passes before your eyes. This is in fact true. It's called living."
- This popular quote seems to be a paraphrase of an exchange in The Last Continent:
'Is it true that your life passes before your eyes before you die?'
'Ghastly thought, really.' Rincewind shuddered. 'Oh, gods, I've just had another one. Suppose I am just about to die and this is my whole life passing in front of my eyes?'
- This popular quote seems to be a paraphrase of an exchange in The Last Continent:
- Tolkien's dead. J. K. Rowling said no. Philip Pullman couldn't make it. Hi, I'm Terry Pratchett.
- "I will not feel sorry for myself for contracting Alzheimer's, I will make Alzheimer's sorry for catching me!" Interview with BBC Radio 5 Live regarding Terry's Alzheimer's diagnosis
[edit]- AT LAST, SIR TERRY, WE MUST WALK TOGETHER.
- Terry took Death's arm and followed him through the doors and on to the black desert under the endless night.
- The End.

Why Invest in Gold & Precious Metals?
Navigating most high-asset financial markets can be an anxiety-inducing journey. But precious metals like gold, silver, platinum, and palladium offer stability in an uncertain economic world.
During periods of rising inflation and economic turbulence, these metals, with gold as the crowd favorite, have a strong track record of holding their value.
Diversification is essential for financial security, and precious metals can play a vital role in achieving a well-balanced portfolio. They operate independently from the ups and downs of stocks and bonds, potentially boosting returns and maintaining stability even when other markets are turbulent.
Moreover, unlike digital assets, precious metals are tangible and resilient. They aren't susceptible to internet disruptions, power outages, or economic crises. They also aren't tied to the fortunes of specific companies or industries, making them a reliable foundation in financial worlds filled with so much risk.
What is a Gold IRA?
A Gold IRA, or Gold Individual Retirement Account, is a specialized retirement account that allows individuals to hold physical gold and other precious metals as assets within their retirement portfolio. Unlike traditional IRAs, which typically include paper assets like stocks and bonds, a Gold IRA enables investors to have tangible assets such as gold bars, coins, and sometimes other precious metals like silver, platinum, and palladium.
Setting up a Gold IRA involves working with a specialized custodian or trustee who can facilitate purchasing, storing, and managing the precious metals within the IRA account. There are specific IRS-approved rules and regulations that govern the types of precious metals that can be held in a Gold IRA and how they should be stored and managed to maintain their tax-advantaged status.
Freedom Gold USA simplifies this process, providing expert guidance to establish your gold-backed financial stability by aiding you throughout the WAUCHULA gold buying & selling process.
Choose Freedom Gold USA to get access to the best opportunities regarding gold buying & selling, and you won't regret your investment!
Benefits of Diving Into the Gold Buying & Selling Market
The primary purpose of a Gold IRA is to provide investors with a way to diversify their retirement holdings beyond traditional financial assets.
Diversification, essential for financial security, can act as a hedge against economic uncertainties, inflation, and market volatility. It also gives individuals more control over their retirement savings by directly owning physical assets.
Gold's historical ability to preserve value makes it a reliable hedge against inflation. Allocating part of your retirement funds to a Gold IRA safeguards your purchasing power in the face of gradual erosion caused by inflation.
In the volatile world of investments, gold often serves as a haven, maintaining or increasing value during economic downturns. Investors frequently turn to gold when stock markets decline, increasing prices. Gold IRA investing goes beyond mere ownership of precious metals; it's a proven strategy for portfolio diversification, safeguarding against inflation, and shielding retirement savings from economic uncertainty.
Choosing The Best Gold IRA Company
Ready to embark on your gold IRA journey? Start by partnering with a reputable gold IRA company. But proceed with caution. Freedom Gold USA shines as a trusted player in the field, while not every company would render you the same excellence in service and trust.
We are known for our expertise in ensuring financial security. Our transparent processes, competitive fees, and exceptional customer service set us apart, and our client reviews can show you what we mean.
With over three decades of experience, we remain unwavering in our dedication to safeguarding our clients' hard-earned retirement savings. We take immense pride in delivering top-notch customer services in precious metals investments. As a family-owned business, we aim to be your dependable partner as you refine your asset portfolio to its fullest potential.
Your Golden Opportunity Awaits
As you embark on your gold IRA journey, remember that while gold offers many benefits, it's not without its unique considerations. Conduct thorough research, understand market dynamics, and get the best WAUCHULA gold buying & selling experts to help you. Go to Freedom Gold USA today.
If you are interested in working with us, all you need to do is give us a call. Our team will be right there with you.

Publication Type: Abstract Only Publication Acceptance Date: 7/15/2012 Publication Date: 9/25/2012 Citation: Kapczynski, D.R., Zsak, A., Ewald, S., Suarez, D.L. 2012. Use of interferon treatment to protect chickens against highly pathogenic avian influenza [abstract]. International Symposium on Alternatives to Antibiotics in Animal Production Meeting. CDROM. Interpretive Summary: Technical Abstract: Avian influenza (AI) is a significant public health concern and serious economic threat to the commercial poultry industry worldwide. While properly matched vaccines can be effective at limiting morbidity and mortality, the use of therapeutics in veterinary animals to combat this disease are relatively non-existent. Interferons (IFNs) are a group of polypeptides that are secreted from most all eukaryotic cells in response to external signals. They are classified into three groups, designated type I, type II and type III. Type I IFN (alpha and beta), are expressed rapidly after viral infection, and represent a first line of defense initiated by the innate immune response. Induction of IFN-alpha results in an antiviral state which can decrease morbidity and mortality following viral infection. Immediately following infection with AI, host cells begin to express proinflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-1beta and IL-6, and Type I IFN genes, which results in a general antiviral response through the activation of a broad range of effector molecules, including Myxovirus (Mx) resistance gene 1, RNA-activated protein kinase and 2',5'-oligoadenylate synthetases. Unlike mammals, chickens have a single Mx gene with multiple alleles. The original evaluation of chicken Mx indicated the encoded protein lacked antiviral activity; however, more recent reports have determined that the chicken Mx1 gene is highly polymorphic, and cDNAs of some but not all Mx1 alleles transfected into mouse 3T3 cells conferred protection against highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in vitro. According to that report, chicken Mx1 variants encoding Asn at position 631 have antiviral activity, whereas variants with Ser at 631 lack activity. We have previously demonstrated the protective potential of IFN-alpha applied to poultry against low pathogenic avian influenza viruses. In those studies, intranasal application of IFN-alpha during infection reduced clinical signs of disease and the incidence of viral shedding. In the present studies, we evaluated protection of chickens against HPAI in birds with different Mx during IFN-alpha application. We observed >90 percent protection from mortality that was dependent on Mx-631 allele. Birds with the Mx-Asn631 (White Leghorn) were resistant to disease whereas Mx-Ser631 birds (White Rock) were susceptible to HPAIV. Taken together, these studies show that IFN-alpha can protect chickens from disease associated with HPAIV and that the Mx-631 allele may contribute to that protection. |

Lawrence Taylor just pled guilty to two misdemeanor charges as part of one helluva plea deal in his statutory rape case -- and will get off with no jail time but will have to register as a sex offender.
The NFL Hall of Famer was in court in Rockland County, NY ... and pled guilty to one count of patronizing a prostitute and one count of sexual misconduct -- all stemming from his arrest last May for having sex with a 16-year-old girl.
Taylor was originally charged with a felony ... and could have gotten 4 years in prison. Instead he'll get probation -- but as part of the plea deal he has to register as a sex offender.
Taylor has homes in Florida and New Jersey.

Chenhao Tan of Cornell University and his colleagues have completed an extensive study of what types of wording tend to generate the most retweets. There's not one cookie-cutter template that works in all situations, because, unsurprisingly, you need to adapt your vocabulary and language to the particular community or audience you're addressing. Nevertheless, the study suggests a few generally successful practices:
- being specific and including some specific information
- picking up on topics tweeted before
- using news headline style copy (hey, I wrote a tutorial about how to draw clicks by mimicking news headlines a few years ago— ahead of the curve!)
- asking followers to retweet
Best of all, for the moment, Mr. Tan's website has a free tool letting you compose and compare Tweets using the intelligent algorithm he devised, based on this study of what wordings are most effective.
Translation: free Tweet optimization tool, at least until everyone discovers it and he has to shut it down due to traffic overload (just a hunch)! Probably worth using for article headlines as well.

Layla Flaherty had the perfect life, or close to it. Until a stranger gunned her parents down right in front of her, leaving her with seizure inducing PTSD. After years of trying to pass as normal and failing miserably, she resigns herself to being invisible. But new to town Landen O'Brien sees her, and he likes what he sees. Much to Layla's surprise, he doesn't freak out when she has a seizure in front of him. He does the exact opposite, calming her until the tremors subside. But Landen has secrets of his own. Secrets that both bind them together and tear them apart.
Scarred by loss, Layla leaves her hometown of Hope Springs, Georgia, hoping to put her painful past behind her and start over in college in California. When she runs into Landen at freshmen orientation, she has a choice to make. Reinforce those steel walls she's built up around herself or give the only boy who can keep her still a second chance.
Landen's more than ready to tear down those walls but this time when they come crashing down, they might bury her.
I move the pillow and look at him, overheating instantly at the sight of his mouth and the memory of what he just did with it. I can't help but wonder how people do these intimate things to each other and then go on with life business as usual. Pass the salt and all that.
"You are the most dangerous kind of beautiful," he says, brushing my messy hair away from my face.
I can only imagine what a wreck I look like after that, but with the way he smiles at me, he must actually think I am beautiful right now. I lean in and kiss his mouth. I can taste myself on his lips. It's kind of strange and kind of a turn on. I pull at his lower lip with my teeth and he groans.
His voice is raspy against my mouth. "You even taste like peaches, sweet like I knew you would be."
"What do you taste like, Landen?" I ask, as my sex voice woman comes back to me. "And more importantly, what's with all the clothes?"

Kacang Pool / Malaysian Foul Medammas
I was introduced to kacang pool only very recently, near the end of our stay in Kuching. My friends, who grew up in West Malaysia, and who knew this dish well, wanted to introduce this dish to us. My friend JY told us that kacang pool (as it is called in Malaysia) was derived from the Middle Eastern dish known as foul medammas, which was made from fava beans.
It was served with a sunny side egg and a side of buttered toast. All of that was great to sop up the runny egg and sauce of this dish. That day, as I was eating it, I thought it reminded me very much of American chilli but with some slightly different spices perhaps.

Tracy Edwards won international fame in 1989 as the skipper of the first all female crew to sail around the world in the Whitbread Round the World Yacht Race. The boat won two legs and came second overall in her class. The best result for a British boat since 1977.
That `boat` or yacht - Maiden - is now literally the figurehead of her new Charity.
Tracy has original books published in print and more recently updated as eBooks which are available via Amazon.
Notwithstanding her commitments with The Maiden Factor, she is hoping to publish her new book `Maiden Rises`.
Tracy founded The Maiden Factor in the process of rescuing her beloved yacht Maiden.
In 2016 she decided she wanted to do more than just restore Maiden, she also wanted to make sure she was used for something special.
Tracy took part in her first Whitbread Round the World Race as cook aboard 'Atlantic Privateer' in 1985/86 becoming the first woman to race around the world on a Maxi. In 1990 Tracy was awarded the MBE and became the first woman in its 34 year history to be awarded the Yachtsman of the Year Trophy.
Tracy's originally published books are now available as modern and updated eBooks via Amazon. As well as being true to their engaged `written at the time` prosaic style, they have been updated with new material.
Her triptych will be complete with `Maiden Rises` - coming soon.

Princess Elizabeth, as she was at the time, married dashing naval officer Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten at London's Westminster Abbey on Nov. 20, 1947, just two years after the end of World War Two, in a lavish ceremony attended by statesmen and royalty from around the world.
Seventy years on, Elizabeth, 91, and her 96-year-old husband will mark their platinum anniversary with a small family party at Windsor Castle, the monarch's home to the west of London.
A spokesman for Buckingham Palace said there would be no public event to mark the occasion.
Greek-born Philip, a descendant of Elizabeth's great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria in his own right, has been at his wife's side throughout her 65-year reign, the longest in British history. He was the person who broke the news to her in 1952 that her father, George VI, had died and that she was now queen.
"One of the secrets of this very, very long marriage, and it's an incredibly impressive anniversary, is the fact Prince Philip has always seen it as his main duty to support the queen, to help her in whatever way he can," royal historian Hugo Vickers told Reuters.
"He is the only person who can actually tell the queen absolutely straight what he thinks, and if he thinks some idea is ridiculous he will say so in whatever language he chooses to use."
The couple first met when they attended the wedding of Prince Philip's cousin, Princess Marina of Greece, to Elizabeth's uncle, the Duke of Kent, in 1934.
Philip then gained the attention of his future wife when the then-13-year-old princess made a visit with her parents to Britain's Royal Naval College at Dartmouth in southern England where he was a cadet.
"Truly in love"
"She was truly in love from the very beginning," the queen's cousin Margaret Rhodes, a life-long friend and one of her bridesmaids who died last year, wrote in her memoir.
Their engagement was announced in July 1947 and they married four months later. With Britain still recovering from the war, the wedding offered a rare burst of color and pageantry against an austere background of rationing and shortages.
The 21-year-old princess, who wore an ivory silk Norman Hartnell gown decorated with 10,000 seed pearls, had to collect coupons for her dress like other post-war brides and the couple spent their honeymoon in southern England and Scotland.
While some two billion people were estimated to have watched the couple's grandson Prince William marry his wife Kate in 2011, their own wedding was only broadcast live to some 200 million radio listeners, although highlights of the day were captured on grainy black and white film footage.
"I can see that you are sublimely happy with Philip which is right, but don't forget us is the wish of your ever loving & devoted Papa," King George wrote to his daughter after the wedding.
While royal watchers say Elizabeth and Philip have had their ups and downs like any married couple, they have avoided the travails of three of their four children whose marriages have ended in divorce, most notably heir Prince Charles's ill-fated union with his late first wife Princess Diana.
It was at the couple's 50th wedding anniversary in 1997 that the queen paid a rare personal tribute to her husband.
"He has, quite simply, been my strength and stay all these years," Elizabeth said.
No other British monarch has celebrated such a landmark, and indeed Elizabeth was the first to mark a diamond wedding anniversary in 2007.
Philip, who has suffered health issues in recent years and was hospitalized in June, retired from active public life in August. They both attended a memorial service on Remembrance Sunday on Nov. 12, although a royal source said the monarch had decided not to lay a wreath so she could watch from a nearby balcony alongside her husband.
"Without Prince Philip the queen would have had a very tough and lonely life. He's been a complete support to her, a rock to her, from the moment she was on the throne," royal biographer Claudia Joseph told Reuters.

To start I don't think this is a repeat of other questions on unit testing. What I'm looking for help with is articulating its value to a team of programmers, analysts, managers and testers. By automated tests, I don't think I need to make a distinction between unit tests (e.g. JUnit), BDD (e.g. JBehave, Fitness) and UI (Selenium , Watir) because I think they all provide similar value (but feel free to write an answer that disagrees :))
The following is a list I've identified, I'm looking for answers that help expand or refine:
- Time/Cost Savings: writing automated tests can take more time than written test cases. However, considering tests are run multiple times, the marginal work (i.e. cost/time) to execute automated tests is several orders of magnitude less. That the automated tests are cheap to run facilitates changing the system over time.
- Documentation: there is no truer way to know how a system works than its tests. Any other documentation is usually out of date the moment its written, but tests (at least those that pass) reveal how things actually work. This is true for both end-user AND API documentation.
- Code Quality: test writing forces you to:
- consider clients because tests are a client
- breaks dependencies where making code testable often means figuring out how to make that code not require some other large system be available

New Releases
Robert Nighthawk Prowling With The Nighthawk DOCD-32-20-6 Robert Nighthawk was one of the blues premier slide guitarists playing with a subtle elegance and a fluid, crystal clear style that was instantly recognizable.
Nighthawk influenced a generation of artists including Muddy Waters, B.B. King, Earl Hooker and Elmore James. Nighthawk was born Robert Lee McCollum in Helena, Arkansas on November 30th, 1909 and raised in a farming community. Nighthawk came from a musical family as he relates in a 1964 interview: "Well all my people played music. Mother and Dad and sister and brother and all. My brother played guitar. My brother helped me in all kinds of ways. (My family)...mostly played dances, parties, picnics and all that."
In many ways Nighthawk went onto become the archetype of the classic bluesman, spending his entire adult life rambling all over the South with frequent trips to the North playing a never ending string of one-nighters punctuated by sporadic recording dates. Nighthawks recording dates brought him only limited success but he remained popular in the South his entire life. It seems that every blues musician of consequence who emerged from the Delta from the 30`s through to the 60`s recalls running across Nighthawk.
For all his visibility Nighthawk remains a shadowy figure; for one he never stayed in Chicago long enough to establish himself, he was interviewed only briefly and unlike many artists didn`t appreciably benefit from the blues boom of the 1960`s.
Above all it was his ceaseless wandering that likely stopped him from achieving greater fame: "Well, that`s about all I been doin` all my life. I was down in Florida about 3 years and back up in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, Georgia, Texas, Arkansas, Kentucky, Indiana, Missouri and Iowa, New York and some other places."
As well as playing guitar (taught by Houston Stackhouse in 1931), he played in the orchestra of the Dan Hildrege Show, ran with singer Laura Dukes and even fronted a jug band in Memphis. He also met and played with musicians such as Sleepy John Estes, Yank Rachell, Sonny Boy Williamson, Big Joe Williams, Hammie Nixon, Big Bill Broonzy, Memphis Slim and John Lee Hooker. Nighthawk continued to play and record into the 1960`s.
His final recording session was fittingly with Stackhouse, performing the songs of Tommy Johnson one final time. Nighthawk died less than 2 months after these recordings on Nov. 5th, 1967. The tracks on this Document cd range from 1937 to 1952 and Nighthawk is accompanied by such blues luminaries as Sonny Boy Williamson, Joe Williams and Roosevelt Sykes.
This complilation of recordings by Robert Nighthawk is not available anywhere else and shows us that he was one of the premier blues slide guitarists. This release comes with informative booklet notes written by Jeff Harris and full discographical details. Click here for further information
Johnny Shines Live in Europe 1975
The snow is falling, the temperature is only just above zero, and a native of the American Deep South is a long, long way from home. Johnny Shines was, in the 1970`s, resident in Holt, Alabama, not far from the city of Tuscaloosa, but often away on tour in the United States and overseas. He was now experiencing the "fairyland" of an Austrian Winter (February 1975), the farthest point east of a European tour, with a series of great performances at the `Jazzland` club in Vienna.
The recordings on this Document CD are from 3 nights that Johnny played at Jazzland. The songs exemplify Johnny`s vocal range and lyric invention as he touches on the sad themes of loneliness, illness, aging and mortality. Like Big Boy Crudup, in standard tuning Johnny was a functional guitarist good but not flashy, but when using a slide he overwhelmed the listener with his playing.
Bob Groom in the cd sleeve notes says of Johnny: "The sheer power, dynamic range and emotional intensity of Johnny`s music must put him in the top rank of blues vocalists. I once dubbed him the male equivalent of Memphis Minnie and he was flattered, certainly not offended, by the comparison." In addition to performances of some of Johnny Shine`s classic commercial recordings and covers of well known Robert Johnson recordings this album boasts hitherto unrecorded numbers by Shines himself.
This recording extends our appreciation of his talents as a performer and recording artist, putting him amongst the very greatest blues artists of all time.
This is the first time that these recordings have been released and come with extensive booklet notes written by Bob Groom and full discographical details. Click here for further information
Also available on the Document back catalogue is the CD Chicago Blues 1939-1951, which also features Johnny Shines. Click here for further information
Could this really be Document?
Following hot on the heels of the great success of Shortcuts Volume 1, Document are proud to present the double whammy release of Shortcuts Volume 2 and Shortcuts Volume 3.
These CD`s represent some of the very best in American Roots music and together they provide one of the finest show case samplers available on the market.
There is so much good music in the Document Catalogue and these samplers are an excellent way of taking a shortcut into the biggest catalogue of vintage blues, jazz, gospel, boogie-woogie and country music in the world.
Maybe you already know something about Document, maybe (to use a musicbiz term) you are just "scratching the surface". Either way, here is a clip, a snippet, an appetizer made up from great tracks found within the catalogue. The songs and music will bring you the full spectrum of human emotion; from humour, often with tongue firmly placed in cheek, to sadness, sometimes reaching a spiritual, emotional level.
The music found on Document is about so many different things; things that we will recognise, regardless of our nationality, religion, colour, politics, education, class or wealth and that is because it is unashamedly about real life as you and I have known it, either for a moment or a lifetime. "You can hear a certain type of record playin'. You can be feelin' very normal, nothin' on your mind, period. But it's somethin' on that record hits you. It's somethin' that you have happened in your life…" John Lee Hooker.
Shortcuts volume 2 "If You Take Me Back" DOSCD-9002 Features artists such as the bluesmen Muddy Waters, Bukka White, Skip James; to the old time countrystars Frank Hutchison and Fiddlin` John Carson amongst others.
