#2 — Underworld — Don DeLillo
Underworld is a book that sifts through 50 years of Cold War America and ends up proving that a Cold War-less America is a rudderless America. However, if Underworld were simply a polemic with no greater point than teaching this lesson, it would have been made obsolete by 9/11 and no one, other than professional historians, would care much about reading it.
This is not the case for many reasons, but I'd like to focus on just three.
First off, in its structure and feel, Underworld captures something essential about the world we inhabited in 1997 (when it was published) and inhabit still more today. The book consists of several disconnected, parallel narratives. Like a bunch of jumbo jet aircraft leaving parallel sets of contrails, the narratives that make up Underworld are laid out in parallel, but not explicitly made to touch. Then, like a light wind, the reader's mind begins to make the narratives expand and intermingle and connections are discovered.
This strikes me as an apt portrayal of the idea of our world, with many contemporaneous narratives that are united by an unseen web of connections, just below surface level. Thus, in the way DeLillo has structured his book, he mimics something very important about our world, and in a much more compelling way than several other postmodern writers who have attempted the same thing. Also, as the name "Underworld" implies, DeLillo explores some of these "below surface level" elements that unite our world.
Second, Underworld successfully delves into the question of what unites us as Americans. With the amounts and kinds of diversity encompassed by America, it's a far question to ask "what's American?" In mulling over the Cold War, DeLillo comes up with some answers–he establishes a national Zeitgeist that didn't die with the Cold War, but continued on past the fall of the Berlin Wall and is still present to this day.
Third and most important, Underworld is simply a pleasure to read. The book treads the fine line between being sufficiently coy to engage a reader's mind and being so coy as to be incomprehensible. It's a book that keeps a reader constantly thinking, which is another way to say it's continually entertaining. It's also a book that, at times, exhibits spectacular storytelling. The first 50 pages is worthy of a novella, and is among the best openings of the 20th century. Also, the book's final section spectacularly exhibits DeLillo's fine ear for English as it is spoken, and gives us another novella-esque narrative that is, if not quite as good as Underworld's opening, still spectacular.

By STEVEN NALLEY
firstname.lastname@example.com [2]
The Starkville Board of Aldermen voted to allow for an atypical building method for the Reed Place subdivision and for renewal of a contract with the Mississippi Department of Human Services for the Brickfire Project contingent on resolution of legal issues.
With Ward 6 Alderman Roy A. Perkins and Ward 7 Alderman Henry N. Vaughn as the only opposition, the board approved a memorandum of understanding allowing Reed Place, LP and Reed Place II, LP to complete substantial construction of houses in each phase before building the roads and other infrastructure. By the same 5-2 margin, the board approved a second MOU establishing a tri-party agreement between Regions Bank, Reed Place and the city to keep funding for the subdivision secure.
Starkville Mayor Parker Wiseman said most subdivision developers install infrastructure first and then build homes, but all of the houses in each of Reed Place's phases will be built at the same time.
"That being the case, the developer has asked the city (if it is) possible, rather than going through the traditional process of doing infrastructure build-out (and) getting infrastructure certification from the engineer and then being able to pull building permits for the houses on the lots, if he's able to build the lots and the infrastructure simultaneously," he said. "That sent our staff to the drawing board quite a bit."
City Engineer Edward Kemp explained the benefits of the program. He said Reed Place will install a stone base roadway to give construction vehicles access to the site, then install utilities, pour slabs, frame all the houses and, finally, install the road infrastructure.
"The reason why they're wanting to do this is, essentially, the finished product," Kemp said. "As we've discussed ... when you install your roadway, curb and gutter at the very beginning, that roadway, curb and gutter is going to experience a lot of heavy duty construction traffic. What this developer is offering to do is wait until all of that heavy duty construction has occurred and then come in and build the roadway infrastructure."
City Attorney Chris Latimer said city code allows for this construction method so long as the developer signs a contract with the city, shows the city its plans and demonstrates its financial ability to complete the project. For that reason, Wiseman said, the city, Regions and Reed Place will keep 150 percent of the project cost in a secure bank account.
Perkins said the city needed to adhere to ordinances as they stand instead of making exceptions for developers.
"When you go through the traditional way of doing business," Perkins said, "then it has the tendency to treat those people that are similarly situated similarly."
Earlier in the meeting, Latimer explained a series of legal issues with contract renewal for the Brickfire Project. There were actually two contracts to approve: a contract between the city and MDHS and a contract between the city and the Brickfire Project. Latimer said the issues arose in the former.
"... The threshold issue is it makes Starkville clearly liable for anything Brickfire does in error or any wrongs that might occur with the grant funding," Latimer said. "Certainly, that makes me uncomfortable to have Starkville be liable when we don't control the actions of Brickfire in administering its funds."
Second, Latimer said, MDHS put a provision in the contract to attempt to reduce liability which falls afoul of the attorney general's opinions on the issue. Third, he said, one item in the contract requires Starkville to provide proof of workers' compensation insurance.
"That troubles me in that the people for Brickfire are not employees of the city of Starkville, so to me that confuses the issue as to why the city has to provide worker's comp insurance," Latimer said. "Lastly, there's a paragraph that concerns disputes and how disputes are governed. That paragraph has typographical errors that are so extreme that you can't tell what that paragraph is saying."
Latimer said the city had two options. First, it could choose not to act on the contract; second, aldermen could approve it conditionally, allowing its passage to depend on either Latimer negotiating the contract terms with MDHS or Wiseman executing the contract with informed consent of Latimer's legal concerns.
The board chose the second option, approving both contracts unanimously. Wiseman expressed support for this option.
"I am comfortable having the ball placed in my court, giving the city attorney some additional time to see if he can negotiate with DHS on the terms of the contract," Wiseman said. "The reason I'm comfortable and I prefer that method to no action at all tonight is since this contract has to be approved by Dec. 15, it would necessitate a special called meeting."

Alys Fowler
Alys Fowler (born c.1978)[1] was a presenter for a short period on the long-running British TV programme Gardeners' World[2] and lives in Birmingham, England.[3]
Fowler was born in Silchester, and had a rural childhood. [4] Her father was a doctor, and her mother ran various cottage industry businesses – she had 200 chickens and sold their eggs, trained gun dogs, and would dog-sit for wealthy Londoners. [4] After completing her education in 2002, Alys Fowler began working as a journalist for Horticulture Week, and Landscape Review. In 2005, Fowler worked for BBC Gardeners' World and Parks as a horticultural researcher. In 2006, Fowler became Head Gardener of the BBC garden at Berryfields in Stratford-Upon-Avon, and created features at the Gardeners' World Live shows. 2007 saw the publication of Fowler's first book, The Thrifty Gardener: How to Create a Stylish Garden for Next to Nothing.[5] In 2008, after appearing occasionally in her Berryfields role, Fowler became a regular presenter on Gardeners' World, and continues to write a monthly blog on the programme's website.[6] She was dropped by the BBC for the 2011 series, at the same time that Toby Buckland's contract as main presenter was not renewed. [7]
Fowler continues to publish prolifically in newspapers and magazines, including The Guardian,[8] Gardeners' World Magazine, Gardens Illustrated, Amateur Gardening,[9] Country Living, and The Daily Mail.
Filming for Fowler's BBC series, The Edible Garden - a.k.a. A Home-Grown Life - began in mid-2009, and the series aired on BBC 2 in April 2010. In this programme, Fowler explores the possibilities and limitations of community self-sustainability in the urban environment of South Birmingham. Fowler's second book, The Edible Garden,[10] was published in March 2010 by BBC Books to accompany the TV series.
From an early age, Alys Fowler was smitten by her mother's gardening talents and the degree of self-sufficiency it afforded the family. After leaving school in 1996, Fowler studied at the Royal Horticultural Society, and the world-renowned Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew in London. Even while studying in the epicentre of the British gardening establishment, it was clear Fowler had an early interest in loosening the confines of contemporary landscape gardening to include a more organic and accessible aesthetic. Fowler's superiors were quick to recognise her talent and passion. In 1998, she was awarded a Smithsonian Scholarship to study at the New York Botanical Gardens based in the Bronx.[11]
Fowler moved to New York in 1998 to complete her apprenticeship. Driven by the ultra-urban environment, she was forced to find new ways of experiencing and creating green space. Fowler maximised her apartment's fire escape by growing plants and vegetables, and she quickly found a community making gardens in Manhattan's Lower East Side. Exposure to their collective ability to create beautiful and inviting gardens out of objects found in New York's streets and dumpsters chimed with her existing interest in accessible gardening. This became a highly influential period of her training, and spawned the idea for her first book in 2007, The Thrifty Gardener.[12]
Fowler returned to the UK in 1999. Following her interest in grass-roots environmental work, she attended the University College London to complete a Master's in Society, Science, and the Environment.[11] Continuing her passion to fuse traditional gardening with modern eco-friendly culture, Fowler focused her work at this time on the benefits that allotments bring to the environment and those who work on them. In 2013, she presented an episode of Great British Garden Revival.
Fowler lives in Birmingham with her artist husband, Holiday. [4]
Her dog's name is Isobel.

early addition to the Livery as its interior downstairs' wall (as it stood

The downstairs living room is the largest of the three suites and with
its red walls and white trim provides a perfect background to display
oriental furniture, art and souvenirs the Tudors have collected on their

Best of the Web no. 33
From crafts beers and art, to miniature homes and life abroad as an ex-pat, this week's Best of the Web's got it all. Read on and discover this week's juicy treasure trove of internet gems!
Growler Fills
for the love of beer
"Growler Fills is Craft Beer Enthusiasm, providing craft beer News, education, discussion, events, beer runners, and more. Growler Fills seeks to make craft beer accessible by breaking down the barriers created equally by the "macro" mega corporations and beer snobs alike. Beer is social. Beer is fun. Beer is easy to explore. Treat it with respect and it will reward you many times over. "
Cottage Tails
quilting and cleaning and sheep, oh my!
"Cottage Tails blog is a daily journal of a maybe not so typical family living in New Zealand. In it, we record our family's days of living simply – on one income in a two income world, home schooling, dyslexia, dyscalculia, severe food allergies, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, menu planning, cooking, quilting, reading, raising sheep, goats & hens, organic gardening & gardening by the moon, living off the land, enjoying The Wheel of the Year, being open & aware, feeling the flow of the change in the seasons and of course cats."
Paul & Paula
hip and cool finds for kids
"Paul & Paula began in May 2010 as a place to share all hip and cool finds for kids. Updated daily with inspiring parenting-related subjects, including craft projects, favourite recipes, interesting cultural topics and other kid-friendly ideas. The coolest new products and must-have accessories!"
Later B(l)oomer
a dose of art and family history
"I began my Late B(l)oomer blog right after I retired from 30+ years of public school teaching. My first entries were simply snapshots of things I found beautiful in my life, but entries evolved to include stories and old photographs from family history research and posts about the artwork I was doing. From time to time I include a book review or a recipe, so that the blog has become a public sharing of the new directions my life is taking now that I no longer spend my days in the classroom."
Fibra Artysta
on art and connection
"One of the most exciting things about being an artist now is that internet helps to connect you with others that share your interests, your struggles, your inspiration. Fibra Artysta focuses on fiber art and surface design techniques (thermofax screen printing, fabric dyeing, soy wax batik, etc) but my main goal for the blog is to have a place where people can come and rest and just escape from daily life. Art is a refuge no matter what form it takes."
Harmony and Rosie
new horizons through crafting
"I craft every day that I possibly can and have a burning desire to learn new skills so my blog is most definitely a journal of my creativity. Blogging has inspired me to broaden my horizons and I have been teaching myself to knit, embroider, sew and these things are always posted on my blog. Because I have two young children I find my sewing dries up in the school holidays so it's then that I like to search for inspiration in other things such as truffling out vintage finds, prettying up things for my home and appreciating the countryside around me so you could say my blogging is determined by the school calendar!"
You Had Me at Bonjour
aussie adventures in southern france
"You Had Me at Bonjour is where Aussie mum Kirsty records the adventures of her family in southern France. The blog is photograph-heavy and explores all the gorgeousness her surroundings have to offer, including the food, with a little sewing and craft thrown in for good measure. If visiting Provence is on your Bucket List or you feel like whipping up a bunting trimmed lantern, this is the blog to go to. "
Tiny House Blog
tiny living and a simplified lifetstyle
"The Tiny House Blog is all about living well with less and in a smaller space. All types of construction are shown to give you examples of what you could build or have built. Stories are shared of people across the country and around the world living in tiny homes and loving it. The goal is to downsize and simplify your life and the Tiny House Blog share as many options as possible. Come and visit us today."
Is all this variety filling you with the irresistible urge to travel? Be sure to stay entertained with the family road trip box of questions.

One MMA enthusiast (Fan One) lives in Las Vegas Nevada. He wakes up early one day, logs on to his computer and buys a couple tickets to UFC XX. He receives his tickets, buys a Tapout shirt, and waits anxiously for the event.
He is a loyal MMA fan and a very big part of the success of the UFC.
Another MMA enthusiast (Fan Two) lives in Deming New Mexico. He will never make it to a UFC event unless he hits the jackpot. He still loves the sport and watches every event no matter what it takes.
He is also a loyal MMA fan and a very big part of the success of the UFC.
The day of UFC XX, Fan One and Fan Two awake. There is going to be a fight tonight.
Fan One goes to the UFC events held around town before the actual fights start. Rallies, signings, maybe even snap his pic with a fighter he follows. His day will be busy.
Fan Two logs online, does some homework on the fighters he will see, and tries to occupy his mind until the war that surely will take place. He calls his buddies, finds out if he can talk one of them into getting the fight, since Fan two has paid for the last three. Then he waits, until the PPV begins.
Fan One found some time to make it to the arena just in time to catch the first under card fight at around 5:00. Have a beer, and claim his seat for the evening. He is glued to it from the first fight to the last, 11 fights total.
Fan Two is still sitting, waiting. His event starts around 8:00 He dropped his hard earned coin to watch five maybe six fights if he is lucky. He hopes they are good fights. Two of his favorite fighters are fighting on the under card, too bad he won't get to watch.
Fan one just got done watching that fight and it was a war. Fan Two may never know. Unless its in the UFC recap the following day. Or he pays for access to the UFC vault, but wait didn't he already buy the event?
Why is it that one fan gets to watch the entire event for his money and another only gets what is aired on PPV? That is the point here.
When a fan buys a ticket to a UFC event they have full access to the entire event, and every facet of it. When a fan buys a PPV they are at the mercy of the UFC as to what they get to see within the event.
Would it not be possible to air entire cards on PPV? Or maybe as an alternative show undercard fights online with a purchase code? Or air the card in its entirety as a free replay for PPV fans, after the original showing, once they know how the evening played out.
Sure they need fights to throw in as filler when the top five fights end quickly, but in the end that just doesn't seem fair to the patrons sitting at home who paid for a UFC event.
It is not just the fans in the seats thrusting the UFC into the mainstream, it is the fans at homes that really make it happen. It would seem they deserve to see the entire card if they choose to sit down and watch it. The option should be there.
If the fan were lucky enough to live in proximity to the event and could see it live, they would have the option to see the whole card. If they don't, they get what the UFC feels is worth sharing.
It seems for the money it costs to watch a PPV card, the fan should have the choice to waste an entire evening watching the sport they have spent so much money supporting for so long.
In the end the Casual fan won't tune in until Lidell enters the cage, or GSP, who ever the attraction of the night is. The purists love those fights too but just want to see a fight period. A good fight. The names are exciting and sexy but they are still just fighters.
In essence its the fight not the man, that MMA enthusiasts enjoy. Over time the man grows on them but it was his fighting that made that so.
The UFC could change the game a bit and offer these fights to their fans. Their deepest of fans would surely appreciate it. It may add more value to the dollar amount required to purchase a PPV event as well.
Surely it is tied in to licensing and contracts between viewing providers and the UFC. That does not mean it should not be different. That does not mean the UFC should not be sharing the whole cards with the fans at home. Hopefully someday it is considered and implemented.

Both men spoke this morning at Logistics Health in La Crosse. Thompson, running for U-S Senate, was president of L-H-I for a few years...and former House speaker Gingrich visits La Crosse often because his wife Calista is from the area. Thompson hopes Wisconsin voters are paying attention to the Senate primary, because he thinks many people got tired of politics after the Walker recall race in June. And Gingrich is 'very comfortable' in feeling that voters will want to remove President Obama from office this fall.

Bloch-Jones to Compete at the NCAA Indoor Championships
March 6, 2014
Declaration List | Schedule of Events | Championships Central
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Illinois women's track and field high jumper Kandie Bloch-Jones has qualified to compete at the 2014 NCAA Indoor Championships on March 14-15 in Albuquerque, N.M. The freshman is the first Illini to qualify for nationals in the event since the 2007 season.
"Our staff is very proud of Kandie," said head coach Ron Garner. "It's a big deal for a freshman to qualify for the NCAA Championships. Especially since she is from Illinois. We hope Kandie's success will encourage other top Illinois recruits to stay at home. She has worked hard this season and has performed very well in every competition. Kandie was excited to be a Fighting Illini even before she arrived on campus this past August and that's what we see each day at practice. She has been incredibly coachable and her consistency has paid off. We look forward to watching her develop during her college career."
Less than a week ago, Bloch-Jones captured the Big Ten title in the high jump after clearing a height of 1.80m, which is just under her personal-best. The freshman has held the top mark in the conference since Feb. 14 when she jumped 1.82m at the Tyson Invitational, which is also the fourth-best mark in school history. Bloch-Jones has finished in the top-three in every meet she's competed in this season, and placed either first or second in all but one meet.
The high jump trials and finals are scheduled for 4:30 p.m. CT on Saturday. ESPN3 will stream the meet live on Friday, March 14 starting at 6:55 p.m. CT and on Saturday, March 15 beginning at 6:50 p.m. CT. A tape delay of the championships will air Saturday, March 22 at 5:30 p.m. CT on ESPNU.

Holzgerlingen, Germany, March 22, 2012 -- Curetis AG, an innovative molecular diagnostics company focusing on the development and commercialization of in-vitro diagnostic products for infectious diseases, today announced the presentation of its Unyvero System and the Unyvero P50 Pneumonia Cartridge during the European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ECCMID) in London.
The showcasing will be accompanied by the Curetis-sponsored Integrated Symposium Bacterial Pneumonia and Emerging Antibiotic Resistance, which will focus on pneumonia-causing pathogens, their respective antibiotic resistances, and the relevance of multiplexed molecular diagnostic testing. The event will be chaired by clinical microbiologist and molecular diagnostics specialist Prof. Christine Ginocchio (North Shore-LIJ Health System School of Medicine, New York), and Prof. Keith Klugman (Emory University, Atlanta), the worlds premier expert on antibiotic resistance among pneumococcal bacteria.
The Unyvero System is a versatile hardware platform for the detection of a broad panel of bacteria and antibiotic resistances from a single sample in one run. It processes a disposable cartridge providing the necessary reagents to complete the analysis from sample to report. The Unyvero P50 Cartridge is the first cartridge developed by Curetis AG and focuses on pathogen as well as antibiotic resistance testing for pneumonia. Each cartridge handles one patient sample and simultaneously analyzes 39 DNA targets. Results are available within less than 4 hours.
We are very happy to introduce our product during the ECCMID conference in the presence of eminent specialists in pneumonia infections, antibiotic resistance and molecular diagnostics, said Oliver Schacht, CEO of Curetis. Severe acute infections and growing antibiotic resistances are a major burden for today`s health care systems and treatment is often impaired by insufficient, slow diagnostics. By providing a novel technology for the fast, precise and automated diagnosis of infectious disease agents and their antibiotic resistances, we hope to contribute to improved clinical outcomes and to limit the risk of even further increasing antibiotic resistances in the population.
The symposium will take place on April 1, 2012, from 4pm to 6pm in Capital Suite H (level 3) at the international exhibition and convention centre ExCeL, London. Symposium speakers include Prof. Jean-Louis Vincent (Erasmus University, Brussels), Prof. David Livermore (University of East Anglia), and Prof. Ingo Autenrieth (University of Tuebingen). Talks will be followed by a panel discussion on the clinical relevance of faster molecular testing with contributions by Prof. Christine Ginocchio and Antonio Torres (University Clinic, Barcelona). Following the event, Curetis will host a presentation of the Unyvero System, including an address by Prof. Carl Erik Nord, Karolinska University Hospital and a reception (6pm, meeting rooms 24/25). Further information about the symposium and the speakers are available at http://registration.akm.ch/einsicht.php?XNMASKEN_ID=300&XNKONGRESS_ID=161&XNSPRACHE_ID=2&XNSESSION_ID=12286.
Curetis AG will exhibit its products and technology from March 31 to April 3, 2012, during the ECCMID conference (hall S10 Exhibition, level 1, booth 213). The event will take place at ExCeL London. Curetis AG is proud to be Silver Medal Sponsor of the 2012 ECCMID.
About the Unyvero System
The Unyvero System is a versatile hardware platform for the detection of a broad panel of bacteria and antibiotic resistances from a single sample in one run. It processes a disposable cartridge providing the necessary reagents to complete the analysis from sample to result.
The platform enables the DNA-based testing of all clinically relevant samples in a fully automated, unsupervised analysis process requiring only few, quick manual preparation steps. The analysis thus can be performed with minimal operator time and without the need of skilled staff or special infrastructure.
Thereby, clinically relevant information is available within less than four hours to support an informed therapy decision as early as possible.
The first Unyvero Cartridge, Unyvero P50, focuses on pneumonia testing and simultaneously analyses 39 DNA targets. Cartridges for further applications, e.g. for surgical site infections, blood stream infections and tuberculosis, are in preparation.
About Curetis (Germany)
Founded in 2007, Curetis AG is a molecular diagnostics company which focuses on the development and commercialization of reliable, fast and cost-effective products for diagnosing severe infectious diseases. The diagnostic solutions of Curetis AG will enable rapid multiparameter pathogen and antibiotic resistance detection in only a few hours, a process that today can take up to days or even weeks with other techniques.
To date, Curetis has raised total funds of over 36.6 million (~ USD 50 million). The company is based in Holzgerlingen near Stuttgart, Germany. In 2011, Curetis signed a collaboration agreement with Sanofi Pasteur for the potential use of the Unyvero platform in a future global clinical trial.

1995 Lexus ES300 Q&A
1995 Lexus ES300 Question: Overheating diagnosis needed
The temp gauge went up to the top two days ago. I let it sit and tried again. After a few minutes of driving, the temp gauge started to climb. I turned the heater to max, but it is not blowing very hot. I turned around to go home, and then the gauge went back down and the heat kicked in briefly. However, after 30 seconds or so, the gauge started climbing again and the air from the heater was not hot. Is this a thermostat issue? - Lancer
2 Answers
Answer 1
Here is a Diagnostic Check Sheet on the Diagnosis of an overheating engine that we at RepairPal put together to help people solve this issue ( or your shop ) http://repairpal.com/engine-overheating-diagnosis just follow the steps as well as you can, or have your shop do it. Look at item #4 i.e. coolant level, coolant leaks, do the cooling fans come on etc. It sounds like you are low on coolant for some reason, that may be why you aren't getting any heat, you need a full cooling system to transfer the heat into the the passenger compartment. - dandd
Answer 2
If you remove the radiator cap what do you smell. If you smell exhaust gases then you may have blown head gaskets. The compressed gases have been forced into the cooling jackets and displaced the coolant. What does the expanision tank look like? The thermostat is under the alternator not a joy to get at but doable if you take your time. If you need some more help just call. Happy Holidays. - Hal...

text: GamesBeat PopCap shows off new Peggle 2 characters, art style, and animations (video) Above: The character Master Luna from Peggle 2 has capabilities that enable her to ghost through the less-important blue pegs.Image Credit: PopCap October 9, 2013 4:00 PM Jeff Grubb 0 Developer PopCap is gearing up to release Peggle 2, it's physics-based puzzler, exclusively first for Xbox One. While the game is bringing back the peg-destroying ball-shooting gameplay that studio introduced in the original, it is changing up a few things with new characters, art, and animation. To show off some of the changes, PopCap released a trio of new gameplay videos today that focus on three different Peggle Masters: the returning Master Bjorn and rookies Master Luna and Master Berg. Master Luna Luna is a dead girl who can make her Peggle ball fly through blue begs and destroy them. This enables players to aim for the important orange pegs. Master Berg Berg, a pantsless yeti, can freeze the stage, causing the pegs to move when the ball hits them. This might help keep the ball in play longer and to hit more surrounding pegs. Master Bjorn Bjorn, like in Peggle, can show the player how the ball will bounce. This time the predictive power can see the next three bounces the ball will take. In addition to the new characters and powers, Peggle 2 has a slight cartoon-flair to its characters that wasn't present in the previous games. The characters also stand to the side of the gameplay and react to the action with contextually aware animations. It adds a lot to the style of Peggle 2. While the game is due out exclusively for Xbox One at first, PopCap does plan to eventually release it on other platforms.

Join Alan Zlotorzynski (The diehard Ravens fan) from The Birds of Baltimore and Steve Shoup (The diehard Skins fan) of Fanspeak.com for the Thursday Night NFL Show, presented by Fanspeak.
While it may not be Ravens-Steelers or Cowboys-Redskins, it is rivalry week around the Baltimore/Washington Beltway. The 9-3 Baltimore Ravens and the 6-5 Washington Redskins get set to do battle for the fifth time in series history on Sunday at Fed Ex Field.
Why wait for the battle on the field, listen to Alan and Steve tell you why their team will beat the other on Sunday. The guys will break it all down. Alan will provide the Ravens perspective and Steve will tell us all about how RG3 and the Alfred Morris plan to attack.
The guys will look back at how both teams performed during Week 13, and tell you what you can expect in Sunday's game. Baltimore leads the overall series with three victories in four meetings but the Skins have won three in a row, including a big win this past Monday at home vs. the New York Giants.
Can the Ravens banged up defense stop RG3 and can the Skins banged up defense force the Ravens and QB Joe Flacco into a typical Ravens road game performance?
Alan and Steve will have the answers. Alan has all of the audio clips and stats that matter as Steve provides the insight.
The guys then look back at the action that mattered in Week 13 and get you set for an exciting Week 14 by getting you ready for your Fantasy Football playoffs with the Fanspeak Start Em, or Sit Em segment. The guys then begin their weekly breakdown of Sunday's big NFL games by telling you who will win every contest.
Tonight, you will hear from an array of players including many from the Ravens and Redskins. You will also hear from QB's Matt Ryan and Aaron Rodgers, as well as MVP candidate, Texans DE, JJ Watt.
Showtime is 8:30 and will run for two hours.
The real question is can the Ravens coaching staff reconize the weakness and play to that? #27 touched the ball 12 times in the whole game was the perfect formula for a loss to the Steelers, And this is the trend for the last three seasons of playing the game like your play calling sheet came fresh from the pony league, Who's concerned about the Redskins? I'm concerned about this coaching staff!

CPSC honors Consumers Union and others for safety
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced that Chairman Inez Tenenbaum has awarded the first Chairman's Circle of Commendation Awards to five individuals and groups for their exceptional contributions to consumer product safety.
The new program was established to identify and honor people and organizations who have contributed in an important way to the benefit of consumers by directly and significantly reducing deaths, preventing injuries, and improving product safety.
"Consumers are safer today because of the work of these five individuals and groups," said Chairman Inez Tenenbaum. "Each has, in their own way, pushed the envelope with safety innovations, advocacy, or product testing. Their contributions to product safety are invaluable."
The five winners of this year's Chairman's Circle of Commendation Awards are:
ASTM subcommittee F15.18 on cribs, toddler beds, play yards, cradles and changing tables. This ASTM subcommittee has been instrumental in adopting tough new voluntary safety standards for children's nursery products, especially cribs. These standards have saved countless numbers of children's lives and prevented serious injuries. The subcommittee's work was crucial to the development of CPSC's new mandatory crib standards—the strongest in the world.
Nancy Cowles, executive director, Kids in Danger. Nancy Cowles is a nationally recognized leader in children's product safety. She has been executive sirector of the Chicago-based Kids in Danger since 2001 and has worked tirelessly on behalf of children's safety issues. Nancy is a leading voice on many voluntary standards committees working to improve the safety of children's products and she has been quoted in media across the country on children's safety issues.
Consumers Union. The expansive work of Consumers Union and Consumer Reports to test and research the safety of products has contributed to numerous recalls, helped consumers be better informed, and supported CPSC in preventing deaths and injuries. Celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, Consumer Reports has provided insightful educational materials dedicated to consumer safety, including its magazines, blogs, and videos. The group advocates on behalf of consumers before CPSC and Congress and is deeply involved in the voluntary standards setting process for consumer products.
Dr. Gary Smith, director, Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Children's Hospital, Columbus, OH. Dr. Gary Smith is a nationally recognized pediatrician and professor of pediatrics, epidemiology, and emergency medicine at Ohio State University, who has dedicated his life to injury prevention. He has long advocated preventing injuries through design changes, educating consumers, and eliminating product hazards. Dr. Smith has appeared on numerous nationally-broadcast television shows and has been quoted in newspapers around the world.
Gene Rider, Intertek Inc. Gene Rider is president of Intertek Consumer Goods, North America. He has worked for more than two decades to identify risks and improve the safety of consumer products for children. Notably, Gene has focused on preventing childhood injuries and deaths due to choking, strangulation, and aspiration hazards.
This new award program recognizes contributions to consumer product safety made by individuals, organizations, businesses, state and local governments and other groups. All nominees were reviewed by an internal CPSC staff panel that made recommendations to Chairman Tenenbaum. The final decision on the award recipients was made by the Chairman.
For the latest information on all recalls, go to Recalls.gov. There you'll find recalls from the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the Food and Drug Administration, and The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, among others.

Momofuku SeioboMore Restaurant Reviews
Photography by Rohan Kelly
David Chang's local incarnation of a New York icon is good, but falls short of heavenly. Simon Thomsen reports.
Urban legend goes that 90 years ago, the Grecian-style, 2000-seat Star amphitheatre was built in Balmoral to await Christ's second coming through Sydney Heads. Close, but no Rapture.
A mystical offshoot of the Theosophical Society was responsible, but alas, their Indian-born messiah rejected his anointment and followers. Eventually, Sydney's one true religion, real estate, converted the site into a block of flats.
This parable comes to mind at Momofuku Seiobo because ever since The Star announced a Sydney branch of David Chang's cult New York restaurants, culinary trainspotters have shouted "hallelujah" with incontinent excitement.
But he's not the messiah, nor is he the naughty boy so often portrayed publicly. David is a thoughtful, clever chef who's melded his Korean-American heritage with Australian produce and Japanese panache to great success. Now the initial hoopla has died down and he's returned to New York, there's a strong team in place to fulfil his vision.
But there are shortcomings, from the infernal online booking system, to the dark, ascetic room. I could be in a shopping centre, except for a poster of AC/DC's Angus Young and having to pass the kitchen hand and dirty dishes to reach a single unisex loo.
The music is Baby Boomer-hip – Velvet Underground and Joy Division – and loud enough to curtail conversation, although Kenny Rogers' The Gambler is a nicely wry touch.
Most diners score stools at the kitchen counter to watch the action. The few tables are mostly for groups of four and there's a small bar space by the front door. Following the style popularised by L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon (who nicked the idea from the Japanese), chefs present and explain the dishes. It's a restaurant that asserts its primacy over diners, suiting those who want to be absorbed in the meal.
Fifteen courses begin with F1 acceleration. First up, four curious snacks: smoked potato, mochi (Japanese glutinous rice balls), shiitake chips and nori. Texture triumphs over flavour. Next is Chang's show tune: steamed bun with pork belly, cucumber and hoisin. Yes, it's worth the veneration.
The service, as expected, is young and funky. They swoop, set and sort with precision. Matching wines are $95. It's approximately 5.5 standard drinks, we're told, a nice way to sum it up, ranging from sake to old and new world wines.
The parade rolls on: raw sea mullet with nectarine and Sichuan pepper. It's bold to serve a fish many consider bait and be reminded of how bloody good it really is. From 11 initial savoury courses, five are seafood. There's a strong Japanese influence and Chang's fascination with fermented foods makes cameos too.
An egg custard mimics tofu with toasted rice and brown butter; pea agnolotti with parmesan and ham is an unexpectedly Italian moment.
After two desserts, the petit four is a shared plate of sweet and lovely, caramelised pork shoulder to pick at, but aside from its shock value, what's the point? Leaving with meat stuck in your teeth?
More than $500 later, you realise this is serious dining territory. There's a very simple measure of a restaurant's success: would you go back again? Maybe, but if I don't, it won't be the end of the world.

Known for their affordable prices and varied range, Snuggle Beds have a mattress for every preference and budget. If you want to buy a mattress but aren't sure what you're looking for, or want to browse a range of types, then here is a good place to start.
With a popular range of economy mattresses, buying a mattress doesn't have to be expensive or difficult. Ideal for kids' beds and guest rooms, these mattresses provide adequate support, comfort, and quality, at a price that makes for a stress-free buy. Of course, Snuggle also have a place in the higher end of the market, with a selection of luxury memory foam, firm, and orthopaedic mattresses.
For those who find memory foam too hot, Snuggle have developed CharCOOL technology, using bamboo charcoal to give a cooler and more sound night's sleep. With memory foam mattresses in both budget and luxury varieties, Snuggle make use of materials such as reflex foam, for providing structural support for the body, and pocket springs, for promoting good sleeping posture and pressure relief underneath the pressure moulding material.
With a range of tensions, from medium soft to extra firm, the correct tension can be chosen for your weight — for those of a larger build, a firmer mattress can provide better support.

Rowan Classes it up by Getting Dressed!
Well, shit, I got no idea. Last night Alan Picus ambushed the locker room with his camera and honed in Anthony and myself. And we're like, should we take our shirts off for these? We've never taken pictures clothed!
See I don't do much with clothing to start with. My roommate and I try to leave the a/c off as much as possible so at home I just wear underwear (otherwise, I have a really cute pair of Andrew Christian booty shorts to horrify my neighbors.) Out, I wear shorts and a wife beater (I hate to sweat, so the less, the better!) and on a good day when I want to go out clubbing or hit up a party, well, snoop dogg would be proud. I always wear sneakers color coordinated to my belt buckle or T shirt with a nice pair of jeans and matching jewelry. I'm not kidding. I'll match it down my tongue ring- and of course my outfits are usually one to two colors and a metallic. It's really, truly, appallingly trashy. Right now, I'm wearing denim shorts, Steve Madden houndstooth high tops, and a black wife beater.
But today, it was hot as hell. I was tired, and running out of clean clothes. To catch the bus I settled on a green t shirt and some basketball shorts, ended up shirtless with my shorts rolled up stuck in the sun waiting for the bus to come (it was a fantastic 45 minutes late, which is a lot bigger of a deal when you're stuck in the heat!)
Tonight is the Seth Gold underwear party at Town, with Elite underwear. I have a tiny pair of briefs, and a cute baby blue boxer brief with silver stars on it- I may wear one of those, or see if they have a new pair to match my purple dancing shoes. But a picture says a thousand words. I went through all my photos taken recently, and, out of 120938409234 that I've found tagged or in my photobooth, I've discovered 4 where I'm actually so dressed that I have on a shirt.
This one was taken last christmas season, right after I got my ears pierced (strangely enough, they're my most recent piercing, I had the tongue and dermals first!)
This one I took just before my friend's 19th, towards the end of spring semester. I'd just started gogo dancing and so I guess that's why I have, like, a t-shirt on. 'Cause after all, who does that any more?
3 comments:
woah...45 minutes late!?!ReplyDelete
if u live in Philly, Where do u stay between dancing @ Splash & catching the bus to D.C. ?
It amuses me that the answer to my question was that you pretty much don't wear clothes.ReplyDelete
Also, truly appreciate the matching belt and shoes. Bravo.
Andy- I typically stay the previous plus-one, Dylan. He's such a sweetie and has been only too kind to offer me his couch every damn thursday.ReplyDelete
Lukas- maybe in the winter I'll start wearing those freaky things like pants. and shirts. Until then, underdressed I go! (and thank you, glad someone digs my wannabe rapper style)

Climate change talks in Durban, South Africa have ended with an agreement to develop a "roadmap" towards striking a legally-binding deal for countries to cut carbon dioxide emissions from 2020, but no specific aviation-related targets were drawn up.
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change's (UNFCCC) 17th conference of parties (COP17) went into extra time and resulted in all countries agreeing on a roadmap aimed at developing a legally-binding replacement for the Kyoto Protocol, to come into effect after 2020.
Negotiations on this roadmap are to be concluded by 2015.
A Green Climate Fund (GCF) has been set up to help developing countries adapt to the effects of climate change, and this fund may be partly funded by the aviation industry. However, no definitive agreement on sources of financing for the fund was reached.
"Aviation and shipping have been cited as potential sources for this fund in the sidelines of the negotiations," said Air Transport Action Group executive director Paul Steele.
"Aviation is willing to explore such approaches as part of a global approach to address aviation emissions developed through ICAO. However, any sectoral contributions into the GCF must be fair and proportionate. No sector should be singled out and no sector should be asked to shoulder a disproportionate share of the overall requirements."
Steele added that any revenues raised from aviation "should primarily be used to finance mitigation and adaptation measures throughout the aviation sector, particularly to develop sustainable aviation biofuels, including in developing countries".

NEW PALESTINE — Yorktown spent Saturday mostly dominating the Hoosier Heritage Conference Meet, winning eight of 12 events and was seemingly destined for its third straight conference crown.
But, the Tigers made a mistake that wound up costing them their three-peat chances — and Pendleton Heights was there to take advantage.
The Arabians won Saturday's HHC girls competition at New Palestine, tallying 381.5 points, 23.5 points more than runner-up Yorktown.
Mt. Vernon was third with 291 points, with Delta (250), New Castle (249), Greenfield-Central (243.5), New Palestine (217) and Shelbyville (85) taking fourth through eighth.
