real life
Karma never tasted so good. Watch as this road rage idiot crashes his car after giving woman the bird
- From: news.com.au
- March 28, 2014
FINALLY, a road rage story that ends exactly the way we wish they'd all end.
Here's how this beautiful piece of karma played out this week in Tampa, Florida.
Woman is driving along, right on the speed limit. Dude comes up behind her in big mean black ute. Dude tailgates her. Tailgates her some more. Dude then switches lanes, pulls up beside her and gives her the finger.
And then, dude crashes.
He loses control of that big oversized beast of a car, takes out some road furniture and ends up on the other side of the road. A few seconds later and he would have collided with a massive truck. But everyone in this story is unhurt.
Except for dude's dignity.
As the guy crashes, the woman laughs "That's what you get! All on video, buddy!"
You laugh with her, but you also can't help asking: Why on earth was she filming the incident? Isn't filming while driving just as dangerous as being completely irresponsible behind the wheel?
Don't film and drive. Even if you're catching the ultimate idiot in his most embarrassing moment.
By the way, the woman posted her version of the incident in the video she posted on YouTube. Here's what she said:
"This happened to me on SR 41 in Tampa on Monday March 24th. This pathetic excuse for a human being tailgated me for about three minutes. After about a minute, and me shaking my head, I pulled out my phone and started recording. I couldn't move over because there were trucks in the right lane, and I sure as heck wasn't going to speed on a rainy day with the roads being as slick as they were. I was turning left in about a half-mile when this happened.
"Now bear in mind, that this guy had already passed a truck in a left turn lane, was tailgating and driving recklessly on a wet slick road, wasn't paying attention, and all in all being an ignorant ass. In the full video which I will post later, you will be able to see that not once was I mouthing off, I never brake checked him, and in fact until I watched the video after the accident I didn't even know he shot a bird at me because I wasn't looking at him at all, I was paying attention to the road while holding the phone up with my right hand. I've recorded circumstances like this before, catching idiots doing stupid things, but never ever had this happen.
He initially fled the scene of the accident, but thanks to this video he has been caught and charged. Massive props to the Sheriffs Department and most especially the Highway Patrol who responded to the scene. This moron could have easily killed somebody with his moronic behaviour, and my laughing at the end would have been replaced with tears. Needless to say though, I've never seen Karma come back so fast."
For the record, it seems that Angry Black Ute Guy has acted this way before. Here's what a commenter on the YouTube page had to say:
"Oh my god. I know that p.o.s! He did the exact same thing to me on the Howard Franklin Bridge. I was doing the speed limit and he was tailgating me. There were cars on the other side so he couldn't get by. When he finally did get through he flipped me off. I recognise his ugly face anywhere. Truly believe in karma now. Hope that jerk get the book thrown at him for endangering people."

'Overtaking lane is for people who want to go faster than the limit'. Congratulations Tommy, you just won idiot of the thread award. The clue is in the title of the lane, overtaking. It is NOT for speeding. I'm sure you would be able to create a great version of the highway code for people to use: - The overtaking lane is for speeding. - A red light means stop, unless you're in a hurry and it would cause you an inconvenience. - To change lanes, just start moving over until they veer into a tree.

Arent we forgetting that this is in america and hence its the passenger filming? dumbass.
Daz of Perth Posted at 12:39 PM March 28, 2014
@glen and Tommy The over taking lane isnt to allow someone to go faster than the limit, its to allow people to overtake when someone in the other lane is going below the limit. If she is doing the legal limit as is the truck then there is no issue. Hell the story doesnt even tell you if the truck had started going faster than when she initially shifted into that lane. On a side note, totally agree, shes a dick for filming and driving, its just reckless and is more likely to cause an accident than tailgating like an idiot

Victor Oladipo's Google Glass view of the NBA Draft and what it all means.
"We teach, by having no cameras, that we are different," Anthony Kennedy told a House Appropriations Subcommittee in 2007, arguing against the introduction of video cameras into Supreme Court hearings.
People in powerful institutions have long indulged in the privilege of having their public selves presented in media forms that they have the most control over.
As the variety of data-capture tools continues to grow, it becomes clear that the least privileged tend to be those who have least control over the media forms in which they're captured.
When Victor Oladipo wore Google Glass to the NBA Draft last week (before being told to shut the camera off moments before the event began), he left behind a document both tedious and hypnotic. It was something that demonstrates how surveillance devices can, when pointed at privilege, become thoroughly deflating. The Orlando Magic draftee's video is the fodder of a billion boyhood dreams, my own included, of having one's physical skill become the basis for being anointed as an instant millionaire.
What makes a picture is not the specialness of its subject, but the specialness of the object framing and filtering it.
This is a fantasy that has most power when put into words, which the ardent imagination of a kid can spend years filling in with details. Turned into video, the fantasy becomes a tepid tour through the incongruities of personal joy and institutional coldness.
There is something sad about Oladipo's waking in a plain but doubtlessly expensive Manhattan hotel room, pulling up the blackout curtains, and looking down on the fuzzy gray pollution of a New York summer morning, no sun in sight. The sense of cramping is palpable when his friends gather as he gets ready, carefully moving in the small spaces between hotel bed and dresser.
The NBA Draft serves a very different functional purpose than a Supreme Court hearing, but both rest on the same pedestal of privilege and limited access. It is those two elements that become the focal point in video documentation.
In the same way that it's absurd to see a lifelong fantasy of success culminate in a stodgy conference room surrounded by a bunch of waxed-hair sycophants in suits, it's just as ridiculous to see the incontrovertible standards of law enforcement for a country of 300 million humans set by a crew of old people pursuing lines of philosophic debate that sometimes sound alarmingly Cliff Clavin-ish.
When civilians are subject to nonstop surveillance—one's chat in an online video game being logged and later used as grounds for arrest, for example—the presumption is always guilt. We fear that surveillance acts as a net, sifting for alarm triggers while discarding all of the inoffensive content we send into the world.

The Matrix is an excellent movie that combines science fiction, shoot-em-up action, and philosophical questions about the nature of Reality. If you are plugged in to a computer, and that computer presents you with a reality that is completely indistinguishable from your own, is it any less real? This movie has exceptional special effects, beautiful cinematography, an excellent soundtrack, well-crafted dialogue, and respectable acting. Keanu Reeves may be a lousy actor, but I think that the Matrix is probably his best performance to date.

HP Photosmart C215 review
Feb 17, 2004 • Review of HP Photosmart C215
I had this camera 2.5 years, then I have bought a Canon A60 (this was a redemption).
- Excellent menu, perfect for beginners
- Very compact: "just turn on and shoot"
- Acceptable camera for family memories (if you dont want to develop pictures)
- Very poor colors
- Usually poor image quality (sometimes (randomly) can create very good pictures). I think this cam makes better pictures than "noname" cameras (Trust, Aiptec etc.)
- Very slow turn-on (more than 10 s)
- Needed very good batteries and charger (I could shot about 150 pictures with 4x1800MAh batteries)
Sure thing: I will never buy any HP cameras!

Modern-Day Horse Thieves
Spammers should be treated like the "horse thieves" of the Old West. Why, just as the horse thieves deprived a person of his livelihood, so do spammers interfere with the lives and jobs of the people they accost.
I would even be more stringent with spyware that captures a location and prevents a person from obtaining his E-mail.
Let us understand that we have only two cheeks. After they have been slapped, there is only one other place to be abused.
Saul Troen
Government Action Needed
I hate to say it, but government oversight is a must. This would be both to satisfy the interstate aspects and the uniformity of punishment.
Three steps
1. Define spam. We all know what it is, to each of us. However, I would guess that a definition should be tight enough to pass the ACLU and broad enough to be effective. A minefield here in view of the fact the government daily delivers "hard" spam in the form of mailings. And then there are the Sunday supplements, Thursday supplements (in Dayton), Saturday supplements (Sidney), and daily personals/want ads.
2. Pass effective laws and establish a punishment system/schedule that addresses the real costs of dealing with spam. If we can put the Enron execs in prison, surely we can prosecute and imprison spammers based on the costs of dealing with their output. There should be laws affecting both the spammers and the ISPs that enable them. (I am slightly to the right of Attila the Hun, but public maiming may not be out of the question here.)
These laws should be enacted simply, quickly, and across the entire spectrum of marketing. Perhaps the "good" spam is that which is specifically requested, via Web site solicitation. There should also be a ban/limitation on any type of mailing list or directory harvesting. There should be instantaneous (not two days or two weeks) removal of a name when requested from a mailing list. There should be a national repository of "do-not-E-mail" addresses (similar to the [illegal?] do-not-call list); a central location where "authorized" or "legitimate" E-mail broadcasters must daily or weekly scan for names to remove from their lists.
A subset of the legislation should be:
3. Aggressively pursue spammers/ISPs that break the laws; aggressive as in proactive
Example: A few small towns in Ohio have allowed police officers to emulate 14-year-old girls in chat rooms and then invite sickos to come and meet them. Everyone from truck drivers to college professors has been caught in these stings.
The comment here is use the power of the Internet and perhaps the power of military/government computer systems to root out the sources and deal with them. Do not wait for complaints. "Profile" spammers/ISPs that issue spam and go for the jugular.
Summary: Legislate, Enact, Enforce.
I will now get off my soapbox.
Duane Mullen
Go After The Advertisers
Spammers are the problem, and anything we as an industry can do should be done in an attempt to slow them down and/or stop them. The legal efforts by Microsoft and others should be the main thrust of the attack once the spammer is identified. However, the manner in which spammers go about hiding their actual identities should tell us something. They know that what they are doing is really causing considerable consternation to everyone who has an E-mail address.
But reality is what it is. The spammer is the vehicle that uses the technology to deliver the message. In conjunction with the legal efforts to close down the spammer, have we ever considered, or better yet, should we not consider imposing fines on those organizations that use the spamming vehicle to "advertise" their products and services?
Where it is difficult to identify the spammer, it is not difficult to identify the advertiser. By imposing fines on those that use the spammer to promote what they are offering, we may be able to impact their financial gain in a negative manner. Spammers are making money somewhere along the line. More than likely the money they are making is based on the number of hits their services provide to those that use their service. If we cut off the revenue stream from those that advertise via this vehicle, I would be willing to bet that the number of spam messages will dwindle to a trickle.
Spammers are a big problem, but those that pay for their service are the root of the problem.

Thanatopsis Spirituality Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Line)
Quote #1
To him who in the love of Nature holds
Communion with her visible forms (1-2)
We think the word "communion" is really important here. When you hear that word, we bet you think of the Christian religious ceremony, right? We think Bryant does that on purpose, to get us thinking about spirituality and religion. He's taking that idea of believers coming together with God and moving it outside, into the open air. He imagines us joining together with Nature in a kind of spiritual union that could heal our pain and take away our fear of death.
Quote #2
[…] while from all around—
Earth and her waters, and the depths of air—
Comes a still voice (15-17)
We think this is a beautiful, slightly eerie moment in the poem. We love the idea of a mystical voice coming out of the water and the air. This is kind of embarrassing, but it makes us think of that scene in the Lion King where Simba sees his dad in the sky and hears his voice telling him to "Remember...remember...." Actually, this whole poem is sort of about the "circle of life," isn't it? OK, now we've boiled "Thanatopsis" down into a Disney movie, and we feel a little weird about it.
Quote #3
The innumerable caravan, which moves
To that mysterious realm (74-75)
There's a famous line in Hamlet where Hamlet refers to death as "that undiscovered country." We wouldn't be surprised if that was what Bryant was thinking about when he wrote this. Instead of telling us what happens or where we go after we die, he simply tells us that it's "mysterious." This poem has a lot to say about death, and that naturally makes us think of the possibility of an afterlife. Still, the speaker avoids making any predictions about that.

In Blood, a New China Is Born
By Harrison E. Salisbury; Harrison E. Salisbury, former editor of the Op-Ed page, is author of ''The Long March: The Untold Story.''
Published: June 6, 1989
BEIJING— Room number 735 in the old Beijing Hotel has a beautiful view up Changan (Long Peace) Boulevard, leading into Tiananmen (Gate of Heavenly Peace) Square a block or two distant. It is a front row seat from which to witness the birth of a new era in China and the death of Deng Xiaoping's dream of an era of enlightenment.
Mr. Deng's bright hopes for a new and successful Long March under the slogan of reform and an opening to the West crashed into bits in the automatic-weapons fire in Tiananmen Square.
That fire echoed down Changan Boulevard, splattering the facade of the Beijing Hotel with fragments of steel and grievously wounding or killing two Chinese on their bicycles directly below Room 735.
A new China is being born in the crashing bursts of gunfire. Just what it will be, and who will run it, are not yet clear. But its birth pangs in the gush of blood and the mechanical language of the automatic weaponry have set certain parameters.
Not many residents of Beijing believe that power will long be held by the bony grasp of the octogenarians who support Mr. Deng, the military elements commanded by Gen. Yang Shangkun and the technocrats who cling to the coattails of Prime Minister Li Peng.
So murky are details of the struggle at the top that not even the most inveterate Beijing gambler would try to pick a winner. He would probably vote for ''none of the above.''
Policy is another thing. But even here the wreckage of this self-inflicted wound is so grievous that even if the Tiananmen troika hangs on, they will, Beijing residents insist, soon hang separately.
China's revolutions in this century have been uniformly self-destructive. Dr. Sun Yat Sen's dream of a coalition and unity was blasted apart in the bloodbath of Shanghai in 1927, by which Chiang Kai-shek signaled he was dumping his Communist allies and would go it alone. That led to dictatorship, division, corruption and ultimately disaster.
Mao Zedong's bright vision of a long march into a united China and high social gains sank in the sea of blood of the Cultural Revolution which Chairman Mao himself set in motion. And now Mr. Deng's intelligent, vaulting program to lead China into a bright vale of socialist form and capitalist content has been exploded.
By what? By a stubborn old man's blind insistence on hanging on, dumping brilliant successors whom he personally had picked rather than yield an iota of personal authority (while genially insisting that he was retired and worked only two hours a day). Never, Mr. Deng said, would he repeat Mao's error and stay on until his mind was fuzzy and his body weak. But he did stay. It is not likely that Mr. Deng heard the crunch of the armored columns as they rumbled into Tiananmen Square, guns firing savage bursts on the huddled students in their rows of tents contributed by Hong Kong.
It was a far cry from the day in 1978 when exuberant Chinese students greeted him with shouts of ''Hello, Xiaoping!''
No student ever called Mao by his given name. Nor was any Chinese emperor on a first-name basis with his young people. Only Mr. Deng. The students said they felt so close to Mr. Deng and his goals that they didn't need to bother with formality.
June 4 was not the first bloody Sunday in world history. The first had, in a way, many similarities with the Chinese day. It came in the snowy St. Petersburg days of 1905 when Father Gapon led a mass of simple peasants to submit a petition to the Czar hoping that Nicholas would respond to their demands.
Instead of receiving a delegation, Nicholas ordered out the troops. They mowed down the peaceful petitioners in a mass slaughter. That Sunday, Jan. 22, 1905, became known as ''bloody Sunday.'' Nicholas became ''Bloody Nicholas.'' And 17 years later, he lost his throne, his empire and, ultimately, his life. Not a good precedent for bloody Sunday, June 4, 1989.
The shape of the future of China has been suggested to some extent in the minds of the Tiananmen troika by recent discussions. It would be unfair, I think, to suggest that the future already has a pattern.
But there are clues to be found in the random echoes of the People's Liberation Army bullets down Changan Avenue and in the twisted byways of Beijing and along the roadways that the armored divisions followed in their ravaging of the ancient capital.
Again and again, Beijing residents insist - and foreign witnesses back this up - the armored guns simply began to spit when a cluster of people was perceived from the tank turrets. And there were not a few instances, attested by at least one Japanese witness, where the columns halted, poured gasoline on the bodies, set them afire and went on their way, having destroyed any evidence that they had committed a crime.
Against these tales, which are believed whether they actually are true or not, is another legend spreading widely in China, of the 100 students who, when the tanks entered Tiananmen Square, locked arms and stood together singing the ''Internationale'' while the bullets sprayed into their bodies. And then another 100 took their place and met the same fate. It makes no difference, really, whether this happened or not. Beijing simply believes that it occurred and the legend is spreading all over the country.
What kind of a future do the geriatric elite in China foresee?

Expecting employers to pay even a nickel more than they absolutely have to is a pipe dream and they will find any excuse not to, including gender. If employers gave a rat's ass about taking care of the people whose labor provides them a living, we wouldn't need unions and labor regulations (fuck you, Paul Ryan) and equal pay legislation, but they don't and we do. Keep the pressure on the fuckers until there is justice.

Tom Douglas Announces He'll Eliminate Tipping and Raise Wages to $15 an Hour on February 1
I happily tip 20% because I know it's hard work and involves being nice to lots of shitty people with outsized senses of entitlement, just like any other public service job that deals with drunks and the socially impaired. But the sooner the restaurant industry climbs out of the sordid demi-monde described by the Bourdains and Dublenicas, the sooner we can get a handle on the true market value of food and drink and the hard-working folk who make and serve it. Right now, it's a capitalist America writ small wherein a few ambitious cut-throats get rich while almost everyone else struggles to get within viewing distance of a living wage. If workers can't predict their next paycheck, it's pretty fucking hard to plan ahead.

Spielberg makes kids movies. With the possible exception of Schindler, every movie he's ever made is crafted for an audience of eight-year-olds. Every plot "twist" is telegraphed like a Jimmy Snuka leap from the turnbuckle and the dialogue would hardly be out of place if you changed all the characters' names to Dick, Jane, Puff, and Spot. He's neither artist nor genius, but there's no question he can really squeeze the nickels out of the incurious masses. Ugh.

Guimaraes as Capital of Culture, Plzen's Urban Development, and Photos from Tijuana
Presentations For 2012, the historical city of Guimaraes (Portugal) has become the European Capital of Culture. During this time, the city is full of hope, energy, creativity, and it is also full of brand new 6'40'' narratives to share. Active since October 2011, the PechaKucha Night Guimares experience has had so many stories, and in this presentation (from PKN Tokyo Vol. 94), the city's organizers, José Martins and João Rosmaninho, will introduce and chat about the Country, the City, and its PechaKucha Night. Bohdan Bláhovec's presentation (in Czech, from PKN Plzen Vol. 1) is titled "The Vision of Developers and City Municipality," and as a representative of an unnamed developer, he covers the vision of future development in Plzen. In just 6 minutes and 666667 hundreds of seconds he undresses the city and thus exposes its pure beauty. Posters We have two new flyers to share today on the Tumblr blog: PKN Hanoi Vol. 5 (pictured above), happening this Thursday, and PKN Williamsburg Vol. 3, set for November. Photos Tijuana held its very first PKN back in July, and here's a small photo gallery [Flickr] to give you an idea of what that event looked like. No word yet on when Vol. 2 will take place, but it shouldn't be too long before an announcement is made. Calendar There are no events happening tonight, but here's what's in store for tomorrow (September 25): PKN Bowling Green Vol. 1, PKN Birmingham Vol. 6, PKN Huddersfield Vol. 6, PKN Lyon Vol. 4, and PKN Nantes Vol. 4.
Presentations João Nunes is an architect, and in this presentation (in Italian, from PKN Catania Vol. 10) he talks about the challenges involved in working with landscapes. This usually means having to balance elements such as time, conditions, and the type of terrain, along with very different materials. In "A Rough Guide to Wakefield Kirkgate" (from PKN Barnsley Vol. 4), Sharon Shepherds shares a few ideas on what could be done to make the historic Wakefield Kirkgate station look better. Posters We've got two new additions to our Tumblr blog, including the poster for PKN Manizales Vol. 3 you see pictured above, as well as the two sides of the PKN San Antonio Vol. 6 flyer. Photos We have quite a few photo galleries to share with you today, some from PKNs that happened a while ago (so not necessary from a city's latest volume). Pictured above, PKN Hanoi Vol. 1.
- PKN Manizales Vol. 2 [Flickr]
- PKN Sao Paulo Vol. 9 [Flickr]
- PKN Marseille Vol. 17 [Facebook]
- PKN Catania Vol. 6 [Flickr]
- PKN Albury-Wodonga Vol. 1 [Flickr]
- PKN Hanoi Vol. 1 [Flickr]
We shared a report by PKN Gothenburg organizer Jesper Larsson recently (about the city's recent Vol. 31), and here's a follow-up on the topic of instant inspiration:
Sometimes inspiration travels fast. The day after PKN Gothenburg Vol. 31, presenter and sushi chef José Seruda went out in the city to find edible ingredients inspired by Klara Hansson who presented about "The edible city" the same night, and during the beer break served up a 'Kokoro salad' based on wild city plants. José's own hunt resulted in a brand new starter dish using Daisy, Garlic-mustard flower and Dandelion Leaf served as part of the omakase offering the same night at his restaurant Hoze. I'm guessing it's this kind of passion for experimentation with ingredients and flavors that might be the reason many consider Hoze one of Sweden's best sushi restaurants. Below is a video of Klara going hunting for wild plants in Gothenburg city on a previous occasion and within 30 minutes serving up a fresh mushroom salad. How has a PechaKucha presentation inspired you?
Calendar As we covered yesterday, tonight's (Wednesday, May 23) calendar includes PKN Prague Vol. 29, PKN Ekaterinburg Vol. 3, PKN Leksand Vol. 4, and PKN Copenhagen Vol. 20. Tomorrow is a big Thursday (May 24), with the following events on tap: PKN Istanbul Vol. 14, PKN Seattle Vol. 35, PKN Helsinki Vol. 21, PKN London Vol. 6, PKN Kosice Vol. 18, and PKN Yerevan Vol. 16.
PKN Hanoi Vol. 3
To conclude today's Hanoi coverage, we share with you a few photos from the city's PechaKucha Night Vol. 3 (as well as a couple of photos from its Vol. 1), and have a report to share from organizer Colin Campbell.
Our hope for PechaKucha Hanoi was that with an open approach and the inherent flexibility of the 20 slides x 20 seconds format we would be able to tempt some of the creativity lurking shyly in the corners of our city out into the open -- and so it has proved. Over the three events there have been almost as many styles and subjects as presentations. We have seen several Hanoi photostories, the outing of secret passions and several personal accounts of how and why people create their art, music, films and enterprises.
We have also, pleasingly, seen our presenters push the format in different directions -- we have had images with sign language, a single visual concept repeated, a bilingual pictorial poem and some musical experimentation. We welcome these innovations and look forward to seeing how our next set of speakers will engage with our growing audience (more than 250 at the last event) at our next event in May. We do feel we can do better in reaching out to different sections of the local community though. Our most important goal for PechaKucha Hanoi is for it to be a community event for Hanoians of any background or culture to share ideas and this is a work in progress. We saw in the last event two bilingual presentations and we hope for more of that from both native and non-native Vietnamese speakers. We owe a huge debt to our hosts at the Hanoi Cinematheque for helping us create a warm and homely atmosphere for the three nights we have run. By helping us to set up two screens, we have been able to offer different ways to experience the event. In the main room with the presenters or, in the courtyard closer to the bar. We will work on ensuring we have a plentiful supply of cold beer especially as we head into the summer for PechaKucha Hanoi #4 on May 17th and we hope to see another full house for what is already shaping up to be another eclectic and entertaining evening in the Vietnam Capital.
Below, presenter Cate Gunn at PechaKucha Night in Hanoi Vol. 1. Also from PKN Hanoi Vol. 1:

Description:This is a hard and aggressive electronic track with high octane overdrive guitars, growling and acid synths. Raw and rough attitude describes the music. It feels a kind of urgency and rush. Imagine a scene of a mad race, or some criminal chase on a street, where a police officer is shooting at a suspect at some critical point.
This music is great for visuals where energy and power is involved. It could be for a TV spot, action movie, YouTube video about your new bike / car, or even some hi-tech projects.
Extras:Included the main version + 30 seconds cut
00:00 – 02:16 – Main Mix

You may have noticed that there is a Jubilee going on. No? Well there is, and as both Emma Thompson (in Sky Arts' Walking The Dogs) and Emelia Fox, Samantha Bond, Susan Jameson, Barbara Flynn and Diana Quick (in Channel 4's The Queen) will all be playing her maj in coming weeks, we thought that now was an ideal time to take a look back at some of the actresses (and actors) who have played QE2 on TV over the years.
Prunella Scales took the role in Alan Bennett's 'A Question of Attribution' in 1991.
Impressionist Jan Ravens used to regularly voice the Queen for Spitting Image.
Scottish comic Stanley Baxter caused a bit of an uproar when he impersonated the Queen for one of his TV specials in the70's.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqQm2o0mUyI And perhaps the best known impersonator is Jeanette Charles, who was constantly on our screens in the 70's and 80's. Here she is with Sooty and Sweep.

Definition of short-arm in English:
Denoting a blow or throw executed with the arm not fully extended or with motion from the elbow only: with a short-arm swing and a snap of the wrist, he shattered the sentry's skull
More example sentences
- His cuts and pulls - Jayasuriya's most fearsome strokes - are no more than short-arm jabs, with his powerful forearms and wrists coming into play.
- This explains why he is so strong on the cut and the pull; like Jayasuriya he can use the short-arm method, cashing in on the slightest errors in either width or length.
- He also has a deceptive, short-arm delivery that is hard to pick up.

Delish!! I am fast becoming a beet fan. I also had to use the bottled horseradish, as that is what was in the house tho I am sure it is much better with the fresh. I used a large Granny Smith apple. Next time I may try adding some chopped red onion. Thanks for posting French Tart. Made for ZWT 6.
We all enjoyed this dish, especially Our family members born in Russia. Because of its delightful color, I served this as a side dish on Christmas Day. However, I added more apples, beets and pickles because I found the sour cream to be overwhelming. Next time I think I will add a little onion and some pecans.
You never know who the star of the show is going to be, but thos little salad was hands down the favourite of 5 I made for a BBQ last night. I set up all the food on a serving table, but someone got up and brought this salad to the table beside them and would hardley share with the rest. All the ladies present asked for the recipe and all the men ooohed and ahhed over it too. I used 3 teaspoons of a bought horseradish (but it contained 99% horseradish) otherwise made the recipe as stated. I think this will get made at every BBQ we have for a while to come!

Mark Bittman's Recipe Charts: What Do You Think?
Bittman actually refers to this as "matrix" cooking, referring to a four-square grid with one basic recipe, two variations, and pictures to illustrate. The idea is that you can get a hankering a certain kind of soup - say a creamy one or a very hearty one - and then simply refer to the chart to make it. You don't need a specific recipe, you just need the basic technique.
In a recent interview on Good Food, Bittman explained that he'd been trying to make this concept work for his Minimalist column, but just couldn't find a way to do it. With the move to The New York Times Magazine with his recipe columns, he was able to work with the design team to develop the visual matrix model.
Personally, we really like this method of recipe writing. It's flexible and easy to use, and it feels like a natural evolution of his recipe style in How to Cook Everything. Evan Kleiman of Good Food also points out during her interview with Bittman that this is the way that professional chefs think about cooking.
So far Bittman has done two of these types of columns, one on soups and one on white fish. Take a look!
• EAT: Creamy, Brothy, Earthy, Hearty by Mark Bittman
• EAT: Broiled, Sautéed, Roasted, Poached by Mark Bittman
Also, listen to the full interview with Mark Bittman on Good Food:
• Mark Bittman on Good Food
Do you like this recipe format? Have you tried cooking from either of these matrix charts?

Our stay with Renata was most excellent. The apartment is indeed close to the centre. Everything you could need was provided and in working order. Our only compliant would be that the walls were rather damp and crumbing away in places with mouldy patches. Everything else was just fine.
Renata is simply the best! she waited for me on the door and she explained me all facilities of the flat which is a mono local with everything you need for living. she also gave me a map and advised me about the city and transport. there is a beautiful terrace (6th floor) and kitchen with some staff for breakfast....there also are dishwasher and laundry in the bathroom!!!! the flat is 2 bus stop (nr 22) from Namista Maru which is on the green metro line, a couple of stops from Venceslao square. in the flat there also wifi.
We were on Kozacka Orange 4 days. Very convenient location, 2 minutes to the tram stop, near shops and small cafes, delicious and inexpensive.
The apartment is large, clean, comfortable, very good equipment
very nice and friendly host.
I can recoment this to everybody that goes to prague
very nice appartment, great host, she will tell you wich trams to take, where to eat etc etc. the balkony is a big plus aswell. the tram that goes to all the places that are worth it is just 1 minute by foot. i can recoment this to everybody that goes to prague
Loved staying here, the location was brilliant - metro and tram stops within walking distance. Apartment was really nice too.
Clean, well-equipped apartment located one minute from tram line 22, which runs straight into the city center.
We stayed in this apartment for one weekend and we absolutely enjoyed it! Great value for money. The apartment is 'simple' in a good way and very comfortable, clean and well situated (check out café Slagr around the corner in Francouzka!). Renata is very friendly and helpful, but respects your privacy as well so you can just make the apartment yours for as long as you stay. I truely recommend this place.
Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit der Unterkunft. Renata hat uns sehr freundlich empfangen, alles erklärt, was es zu wissen notwendig war. Die Wohnung war geräumig, es war alles da, was wir brauchten, auch den Balkon konnten wir nutzen. Wir werden sie gerne weiterempfehlen.
Appartement propre, spacieux et tranquille , bien situé ; hôte Renzta très sympathique et serviable. Suis venu pour un congrès , avec voiture de location que j'ai pu parquer sans frais dans le quartier. Wifi avec bon débit sans panne. Retournerai volontiers ici lors d'un prochain séjour dans cette très belle ville.

I happen to have quite a crush on Zeba, and I know a lot of people do too. So while we see her taking off her lingerie we also meet her naughty side, the one that is introduced to some vegetables.. yes the look on her face is pretty funny until she gets into it ;)

Juan Pablo was not chosen by Desiree Hartsock when she was the bachelorette. He was, however, a fan favorite and many thought that Desiree made a bad decision by not selecting Juan Pablo. Of course, if he wasn't number one in her heart, how could she select him? Plus, it probably worked out better for Juan Pablo this way as he is our next bachelor. The series gets going tomorrow night, but before it does, ABC is giving us an inside scoop on who this man is, what he stands for, and just what sort of woman might win his heart.

Michael Farenas Gets High Praise From Marvin Somodio
By Ronnie Nathanielsz
Freddie Roach's talented little Filipino assistant Marvin Somodio who continues to work with some of the biggest names in the business such as Miguel Cotto and Ruslan Provodnikov has praised featherweight Michael "Hammer Fist" Farenas for his attitude in training.
Somodio who handled the training of the hard-hitting southpaw who blasted previously undefeated American prospect Mark Davis in an IBF title eliminator winning by an 8th round TKO last Wednesday on ESPN's Friday Night Fights paid tribute to former two division world champion Gerery Penalosa and elder brother Carl Penalosa for Farenas' "great training in Manila" prior to his departure for the Wild Card Gym.
Viva Sports covered the training of Farenas for its top rated boxing show The Main Event and was impressed with his furious sparring session with promising young Al Rivera and had predicted that Farenas would have too much power and experience for Davis who while undefeated had only 5 knockouts in 18 wins.
Somodio told BoxingScene.com/Manila Standard that Farenas was "in great shape after hard training in the Philippines" and all they had to do was to refine the fight plan for the showdown with the favored Davis and teach Farenas "how to throw his power punches and apply the right tactics."
The trainer said they were "all very happy when they saw Farenas respond to their instructions during the fight."
He said Farenas who is a soft-spoken but devastating southpaw puncher had some great sparring at the Wild Card Gym especially against former world lightweight title challenger Dennis Shafikov of Russia who has a record of 33-1-1 with 18 knockouts.
Gerry Penalosa told us that Farenas who had sacrificed while in training by being away from his family for two months is visiting them in Los Angeles and will return to Manila on July 12.
Penalosa had earlier said Farenas was hungry for a win and a chance to fight for a world title and his smashing win over the highly touted Davis put him in line for a crack at the winner of the July 10 title rematch between Argenis Mendez and Rances Barthalemy.
Davis was never a big threat and Farenas did as expected. Good job, but now what? Davis and his 5 KOs are a far cry from Mikey, Rances or Juanma. Ronnie ignores the down side in his build up. Farenas…Comment by hectari on 07-08-2014

Our designer was inspired by geometry and Russian constructivism when she created this minimalist satchel. It comes with two different strap options, so you can carry it as a satchel or wear it as a crossbody.
Size & Fit Details
Teddie satchel
Rated 4.6 out of 5 by 9 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by grapefruitmoon Fantastic Bag Overall I've been searching for a new bag and this one is ALMOST perfect. It's such a cute bag and the perfect size for me. It's large enough to hold a brush, book, and a (big) sunglasses case in addition to basics (wallet, phone, keys, etc) but not large enough to hold every emergency kit. It has a lovely shape and lots of pockets. The pocket situation is a bit unique - the side panels are pockets with a zipper on top. The central pocket is closed with a magnetic clasp across the center. The center portion does not close all the way, so it's pretty convenient for things you want easy access to. Here are areas it could be improved: Shoulder strap is a bit thin. A thicker strap would make for more comfortable wearing. Structure - the leather is soft (generally a good thing) but the tradeoff is that the bag's shape is more malleable than I would like it to be. I like my bags to have a big more angle and structure. May 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sukiecee Everyday bag with class and well made I wanted a classic bag that I could use everyday, not too big but definitely not too small. I am 5' 4" so I didn't want it to overwhelm my frame and wrist. It is perfect. The leather is great quality. Pebbled yet soft. Yet it keeps its shape and structure. Love the dual pockets. I keep my wallet in one. The middle fits my ipad and some books.The handles are well made, and the adjustable strap can be made small enough that it can hange nicely (but not too long) while I carry it on my wrist, arm crook, or down by my side. I also love the hardware and the way the strap attaches to the side loops, very nicely done. If you are on the fence, let me help you jump to the other side. This bag is a beauty. May 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Orangedog Quality Purchase This satchel is very appropriate for travel or if you are someone who needs to take a lot to work. It elegantly carries my scarf, papers, magazines, essentials and securely holds my wallet etc in the zippered sections. I like that you can tuck a clutch bag in for luncheons or a dinner appt/date and still have plenty of room for other things. May 5, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by VanCityGirl Classic, Chic & Versatile I have been looking for a long time to find a classic work appropriate handbag and this one is it! I am very impressed with the quality of the materials, the well thought design of the functionality (multiple pockets, feet on the bottom, quality zippers and handles/straps) and enough details to keep the bag classic yet current. The only minor flaw, as one other reviewer mentioned, is that I had expected the base of the handbag to have more structure to hold its shape; however it only sags slightly if you are not over packing. Overall, it is a lovely handbag that will carry well throughout all seasons and transition from work to casual outfits. June 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by mountaineer just right looking for a bag that was good looking but didn't overwhelm me... understated color and I loved the fact that I could carry it on my shoulder if I loosened the handles! Sometimes my hands are full and that was a nice surprise. Pretty hardware and a quality item! Also, the bottom has protection...all good! August 14, 2014

Prescott Challenges Khan: Let's Do Winner Takes All!
By David "Los Gatos" Rosenberg
During the last few days on BoxingScene.com, junior welterweight rivals Amir Khan (26-1, 18KOs) and Breidis Prescott (24-2, 19KOs) have been trading heated words. This coming Saturday at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast, Prescott faces another former Khan opponent, Paul McCloskey (22-1, 12KOs), in a WBA eliminator.
Prescott is still the only boxer to defeat Khan, knocking him out in 54-seconds in 2008. On December 10th, Khan is scheduled to defend his WBA/IBF titles. No opponent has been set. If Prescott defeats McCloskey on Saturday, he wants to fight Khan in December.
The Colombian boxer is so confident of beating Khan for a second time, he's willing to sign a contract where the winner gets all of the money. Khan believes McCloskey will defeat Prescott, but he's open to staging a rematch "sooner than later" if the Colombian puncher wins.
"Sooner than later? Now I will laugh because you don't even believe your own words. Payday? How about this, I will put up my purse - winner takes all. I guarantee you don't make it out of the first round," Prescott said.
"Not Freddie] Roach, not [Alex] Ariza, and not even your father can grant you the chin you need to withstand stand my power. You are a punk and a fraud. The reason I'm calling you out is because you have the belts and I'mn fighting a WBA eliminator to get to the world title."
"If you punk out again, no problem, then I will fight [Marcos] Maidiana. I knocked you out. Don't forget that you need me more than I need you. You go around talking about Floyd Mayweather. Who are you to fight the best pound for pound fighter in the world? I think its best you run to 147-pounds and avoid another disaster. I bet that happens sooner than later."
I think Khan has progressed and come on a lot since prescott!!!! Prescott needs to chill a lil,He'll get a shot at khan if he wins!Comment by Reef08 on 09-08-2011
Prescott should avenge his losses, not his wins lol.Comment by Boxingtech718v2 on 09-08-2011
If Prescott is really putting his money where his mouth is and making it winner take all then wow. That ends all that talk of begging for a payday! I think Khan did the wrong thing in responding because now…Comment by amonb on 09-08-2011

Hi. I've figured out how display mutiple values from one custom field name, however I don't have a clue how I could write them.
I want to create a custom post metabox that has (for example) three text boxes each for the one custom field name 'sliderimg'. When the user updates or publishes the post, I want those three text box values to be added to the field 'sliderimg'. These three images can be echo'd onto that theme page using PHP foreach..
How can I achieve this?

I had already purchased the front and rear mats and was unable to find a trunk mat for my 2001 century so I decided to try the universal fit mat. It is a universal fit mat so it is not a laser cut fit but it is of great quality and appearance. The fit was not perfect but remember it is in the trunk and it is for protection. I am happy I ordered it and would recommend mats to others.
Install Time: Instant
The fit was very good. Looking forward to being able to load groceries and our baseball chairs and coolers without worrying about damaging the carpet and will be easier to clean.
Install Time: Instant
Love the fit and the protection we get from the new mats. We have never used this product before and we are very pleased with the results. Look forward to having these in our vehicle for a long time.
Install Time: Under 30 minutes
I love it! It is very sturdy and does the job it is meant to do. I trimmed it to fit my Honda Insight and the gray color is a nice match to my auto's interior. The trimming took me a while because I was using scissors until I found my box cutter then the job went much quicker. A good purchase.
Install Time: 30-60 minutes
Can't say enough about how well this suits my needs as I haul a lot of different cargo in the back of my Explorer and nothing moves. Stays right where I put. EXCELLENT PRODUCT!!!!!!
Install Time: Instant
Would have given a higher rating but there wasn't a "Custom" mat available for my Hyundai Hybrid.
Install Time: Under 30 minutes
Easily trimmed to fit.
Install Time: Under 30 minutes
Great product and perfect fitment
Install Time: Instant
Very good quality, and very easy to trim to the cargo floor size.
Install Time: Instant
This mat was the ideal product for our new Honda CR-V. It was easy to cut for perfect fit. I feel it will help keep the back of our SUV clean and dry.
Install Time: Under 30 minutes
We like the product, but were surprised that it was a 'do it yourself' item. We thought that we were ordering a custom cargo mat for our SAAB, rather than a generic model. Shortly after spending - how much was it? - we found a nearly identical item in a discount store for $18.00. UGH
Install Time: Under 30 minutes
Perfect for our needs, does not slide around. Provides traction for the dogs and protects the carpet. Easy to fit.
Install Time: Under 30 minutes
Good quality, could use both side.
Install Time: Instant
Very good, rapid order process.
Install Time: Under 30 minutes
The mat I wanted wasn't available for my vehicle so I got this one. Mat appears to be well made and easily cut to fit.
Install Time: Under 30 minutes
Great mat material, however it does not totally fit the length of Subaru outback about two inches from the back seat. Got it for my three dogs. Does the job for a great price.

Hi there one and all.. I thought I better register and what not if only to appease another member on here. He forced me under threat of evil and horrendous acts of yuckieness. Yes Mr P.Tyrant, that's you I'm referring to of course.
I have to confess to not being a massive LotR fan, I know, I know I should be stoned and burned and stoned again for uttering such a thing, but I do enjoy reading his works, as much as I have anyway. The films I have to say while entertaining didn't really hit the spot. The future films.. well I'm hopeful but also quite pessimistic.

Teaching The Vietnam War
Shmoop will make you a better lover…of history.
Your students are no strangers to controversial wars, but they might need to brush up on their Vietnam War history. While you're not in danger of sending a nation to war (we hope), we'll make sure you don't make any other unnecessary mistakes.
In this guide you will find
- lessons that analyze quotes, videos, and documents from the time period.
- an activity showing students that Jane Fonda is more than just the babe from the work-out tapes.
- discussion questions to put history into context.
And much more.
What's Inside Shmoop's History Teaching Guides
Shmoop is a labor of love from folks who love to teach. Our teaching guides will help you supplement in-classroom learning with fun, engaging, and relatable learning materials that bring history to life.
Inside each guide you'll find quizzes, activity ideas, discussion questions, and more—all written by experts and designed to save you time. Here are the deets on what you get with your teaching guide:
- 3-5 Common Core-aligned activities (including quotation, image, and document analysis) to complete in class with your students, with detailed instructions for you and your students.
- Discussion and essay questions for all levels of students.
- Reading quizzes to be sure students are looking at the material through various lenses.
- Resources to help make the topic feel more relevant to your 21st-century students.
- A note from Shmoop's teachers to you, telling you what to expect from teaching the topic and how you can overcome the hurdles.
Instructions for You
The American press chronicled the Vietnam more thoroughly than previous wars. Taped footage from the front aired nightly on the news, and American newspaper and magazine provided graphic images of the character and the costs of the war in Vietnam.
Ask your students to examine each of these images and write a sentence or two on a how it might have affected public perceptions of the war.
