The bad news is (as of right now) any hope for a 2012-2013 hockey season looks bleak.
The good news is that while we Detroiters may not be able to watch our beloved Red Wings on the ice, those fans that also happen to love the hip hop group Wu-Tang Clan can show their affinity for the two highly unrelated subjects via this: yep, a snapback hat with an incredible hybrid of each brand's respective logos emblazoned on the front.

Is there a way to change the default user display name for my WordPress install? It defaults to username in all instances, but I want it to default to first name.
I know I can change this on the user profile edit page, but I have hundreds of users that I'm adding by CSV import, so I need a way to automate it.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- All-Pro safety Eric Berry plans to report to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, giving him two weeks and one preseason game to prepare for the start of the regular season.
A person familiar with his plans told The Associated Press that Berry will join the team after its preseason game Saturday in Chicago. The person spoke on condition of anonymity Friday because he was not authorized to discuss Berry's plans publicly.
Berry was given the franchise tag early in the offseason but has not signed the deal, which means he could skip all of training camp without being fined. Once he signs the one-year contract, he will make just over $10.8 million, making him the league's highest-paid safety.
Chiefs coach Andy Reid and general manager John Dorsey have said all along they expect Berry to report ahead of the regular season, but it was never clear when that might happen.
Kansas City plays its first regular-season game Sept. 11 against San Diego.
"I think it's important to see what kind of shape he is in and then gradually bring him back into the football speed of things," Reid said Tuesday, when asked what Berry will need to do to get up to speed. "I don't think it's the end of the world if he doesn't play in the last preseason game (see full story).
Falcons: 1st-round pick Neal to have knee surgery
ATLANTA -- Atlanta Falcons rookie strong safety Keanu Neal, the team's first-round pick and a projected starter, will miss the beginning of the season with a knee injury.
Neal will have arthroscopic surgery on his right knee on Monday and is expected to miss three to four weeks, according to the Falcons. Coach Dan Quinn said he is encouraged Neal avoided a more serious injury that could have kept him out longer.
"Hopefully it's a shorter-term injury where we're looking at two and hopefully the worst would be three games," Quinn said, adding that he knows Neal will work for a quick return because "he's kind of just built that way."
Wide receiver Julio Jones is expected to be limited in practice after leaving Thursday night's game in the second quarter with an ankle injury. Quinn said he the injury is not expected to threaten Jones' status for the regular season.
Neal hurt his knee in the first quarter of the Falcons' 17-6 preseason loss to the Miami Dolphins. He had to be helped off the field but walked to the locker room without assistance (see full story).
Ravens: Former Navy star Reynolds finds NFL life 'humbling'
OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Keenan Reynolds' foray into the NFL has overwhelmingly altered his perspective of the game.
As a standout quarterback at Navy, Reynolds was revered in Annapolis. He ran for an NCAA-record 88 touchdowns, went 4-0 against Army and finished fifth in the 2015 Heisman Trophy balloting.
However, his prowess at running the triple option is of no help in his quest to make the Baltimore Ravens. Fighting for a job as a backup receiver and special teams contributor, Reynolds is just another rookie buried deep on the depth chart.
"It's very humbling," he acknowledged. "I'm just trying to make the best of it."
At Navy, Reynolds ran, handed off or threw the football. His job now is to catch it.
"I have a lot more respect for the position of wide receiver," he said, "especially after being a quarterback."
NEW YORK — Phillies players were greeted by a message from Carlos Ruiz when they entered the visiting clubhouse at Citi Field on Friday.
"I will miss all of you guys. Good luck the rest of the season. Love you all, Chooch! Gracias," (see story).
Ruiz did not actually write those words on the whiteboard by the entry to the clubhouse, but they were his. He reached out to visiting clubhouse manager Tony Carullo and asked that the message be written in just that way.
Ruiz, 37, was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday, ending an 11-season run with the Phillies that included five NL East titles, a World Series championship, an All-Star Game, a slew of clutch hits, many words of praise from the pitching staff and a million calls of Choooooch from fans in the stands (see story).
"Everybody loved Chooch for a number of reasons," manager Pete Mackanin said. "He's the kind of guy you loved seeing every day, a hard-working, humble and appealing human being.
"I'd like to think when he's done playing, the Phillies might have a place for him."
Mackanin paused and laughed.
"As long as they don't make him manager and he takes my job."
Ruiz's exit leaves Ryan Howard as the only member of the 2008 World Series championship team still with the club. Over the last few seasons, Howard has seen Jayson Werth, Shane Victorino, Jimmy Rollins, Cole Hamels and Chase Utley depart.
It's a topic that Howard seems to have grown weary of talking about.
"I've had to hear about it every year," he said. "It's again the same thing. You play with guys your entire career and now you see them in different uniforms. It's definitely going to be something to get used to but that's baseball. That's the business aspect of it. Teams make moves and that's what happens."
Like the rest of the core of that team, Howard, 36, has been available for trade the last few seasons, but there has been no real interest because of his decline in performance and huge salary.
So he will play out the final six weeks of his contract and try to hook on elsewhere next season.
Howard saluted his former teammate, Ruiz.
"I'm trying to think of the right words," he said.
"The thing about Chooch — he was the quarterback in a sense. The way he handled the pitching staff, the way he prepared himself for games with the pitchers, from the defensive standpoint knowing different situations, knowing what guy you want to beat you, what guy you don't want to beat you. Just the way he played the game, he was a fireball. He was a fireball out there. I'm definitely going to miss him. I hit him up yesterday a little bit after I found out. I was happy for him and wanted to wish him the best.
"Chooch, he was always very, very positive. Always trying to help guys out, trying to pick guys up when he can and it carried over onto the field. That was his mentality."
The Phillies acquired veteran backup catcher A.J. Ellis, minor-league pitcher Tommy Bergjans and a player to be named later for Ruiz (see story). Ellis is due to join the team Saturday. In the meantime, the Phillies added prospect Jorge Alfaro from Double A (see story). He will be the backup catcher Friday night, then return to a talent-rich Reading club that has the best record in minor-league baseball and a date with the Eastern League playoffs.
Jordan Matthews is probably the only Eagles wide receiver you feel remotely good about right now.
Nelson Agholor and Josh Huff are draft picks who haven't accomplished much yet. Rueben Randle and Chris Givens are veteran offseason pickups who've shown little this preseason (see story). Dorial Green-Beckham is a former second-round pick whose first team gave up on him after just one year.
It's not a group that inspires a whole lot of confidence right now.
Potential? Sure. But opening day is 16 days away, there's only one preseason game left for the starters to play, Sam Bradford has two guys to throw to — Matthews and Zach Ertz — and potential is a scary word at this point.
Matthews isn't a superstar at this point. He's a solid pro who seems to be getting better. His 1,862 yards are 10th most in NFL history after two seasons.
But compared to the Eagles' other receivers, he's a first-ballot Hall of Famer.
He's got credibility and because of that the 24-year-old Matthews has become a spokesman for the entire group. And this past week, two games into the preseason, he found himself in the position of having to defend this entire beleaguered bunch of wide receivers the Eagles have put together.
"The funniest thing is last year [the receivers] played extremely well in the preseason, got into the season, didn't play well, and everybody's like, 'Preseason doesn't matter,'" Matthews said.
"Then the first preseason game we don't play well, everybody's like, 'The preseason matters, you guys suck!' Hold on … I thought it didn't matter. You know what I'm saying?"
What he's saying is it's too early to write this group off. Maybe Huff and Agholor and Randle and Givens — or whichever among them makes the team — will turn it on once the regular season begins.
But going into the Colts game Saturday evening at Lucas Oil Stadium, the numbers are not pretty.
Huff and Randle both have three catches for 13 yards. Agholor has two catches for 30 yards. Givens is 0 for 0.
Matthews hasn't played yet in the preseason because of a knee injury, and the next four receivers have a combined 56 receiving yards in two preseason games.
Paul Turner, an undrafted rookie, leads the group with nine catches for 78 yards.
Improvement? Matthews sees it.
"I take this approach," Matthews said this week. "Every rep counts. And so if every rep counts, what are we trying to do? We're trying to do better the next rep, and I felt like guys took steps forward for the next rep. And that's the main thing you always want to see, that improvement.
"I understand it's the NFL, I understand obviously people are going to say you get paid a lot of money to do one thing, but I'll tell you what, I know the guys in that room, they want to do well. None of those guys went into that game wanting to mess up or not put their best foot forward."
Probably no recent draft pick has infuriated Eagles fans as much as Agholor. Well, other than maybe Marcus Smith and Danny Watkins. And Lane Johnson maybe.
But it's tough for some to be patient with Agholor when Jeremy Maclin had 773 yards as a rookie, DeSean Jackson had 912 and Matthews had 872.
Heck, even Reggie Brown (571 yards) and undrafted Hank Baskett (464) were factors as rookie wideouts.
Agholor's 283 yards last season rank tied for 27th out of 32 wide receivers drafted in the first round over the past 10 years.
But he has a big-time supporter in Matthews.
"I felt like the jump he made from the first game to the second game [was significant]," Matthews said "Even the stuff you don't see. Blocking? [Darren] Sproles caught a short pass and Nelson turned his route around … he ran a great route, got open, turned around, blocked and probably sprung Sproles for another 10, 15 yards.
"He had another bubble situation where he had to block for Josh and he did. Definitely better than the first game, and that's what you want to see. That's the biggest thing. And it gets lost in the shuffle."
That Sproles play, a 21-yard gain, was called back because of a penalty on rookie guard Isaac Seumalo.
But Matthews is passionate when he talks about how Agholor's lack of production as a rookie doesn't mean anything moving forward.
"I don't know if y'all know this, but I love Jordy Nelson (Packers Pro Bowl receiver)," Matthews said. "I love him. One of my favorite receivers. Jordy Nelson didn't have 1,000 yards till Year 4.
"Let's put it in perspective. Guys get better. And I feel like that's what I want to see from my group. Are guys getting better?
"There's two things that I really look for from my group — attitude and effort. And do Nelson and Chris and Josh and those guys bring great attitude and effort?
"Yes. That's what I want to see, and I feel that's what we've shown."

About Me
Cooking is a pretty good analogy for photography. First get the right elements in place surrounding you, preparation is key. Then you can start to execute the details. Sometimes you have to improvise. Keep one eye on the clock. Do not be deterred if on occasion something goes up in flames. And remember that presentation counts for a lot.
I'm always looking for people of character, interesting faces and emerging talent to work with. So if you like my style then drop me a line and maybe we can put something together.

Sad to hear of the passing away of Gwilym who was a Rhewl man through and through. He was stalwart of Rhewl church and a large congregation had assembled in the Chapel for his funeral service which was conducted by Rev. Russell Owen, Telpyn Forge.
The annual Xmas evening was held at the Pavilion on Wednesday December 16th. The evening was arranged by Rhewl School, Llanynys Playing Field Committee and Côr Y Porthmyn. It was a lovely evening and a good start to our Xmas festivities.
Once again Rhewl School and Rhewl Football Club held a Senior Citizens Xmas dinner. An excellent meal was prepared by Rhewl School cooks and those who attended enjoyed a lovely evening. Thanks to Bov, once again, providing the entertainment.
Well done to Ysgol Rhewl for hosting a special event on Rhewl Playing Field on Thursday 24th September 2015, as part of Race for Life's schools programme.
Around 50 youngsters, aged from 5 to 11 years old, took part together with their parents, teachers and school governors, to raise funds for Cancer Research UK's life-saving work.
Great North Run
Congratulation to Llion Davies for completing the Great North Run in a very commendable time of 2hrs 27min 03 secs for a first timer. He was running to raise funds for that worthy cause – Cancer Research. The Porthmyn Choir donated a £100 to his cause.
Unfortunately Llion did not get to the winners rostrum on merit on this occasion but maybe next time.
Brenda Roberts – Gold Medal at World Transplant Games
Rhewl residents from the dim and distant past will be delighted with the news that Brenda Roberts has won a gold medal at the World Transplant Games in Argentina recently. Brenda qualified to take part in this 13-sports tournament by having a liver transplant in 2012 – which saved her life – and then succesfully taking part in British Transplant Games. Brenda won a Golfing Gold Medal for the best gross score by a female golfer and furthermore a bronze medal in the pairs competition.
Brenda was the daughter of Gomer and Millie Roberts of Rhoslyn, Bro Clwyd Rhewl and came from a sporting family with father Gomer, in his day, being the "Stanley Mathews" of the Summer League and grand father Bob the Grange, Uncle Owen, Cousins Mark and Kevin being very able footballers and of course Wendy who like her sister was an excellent all-round sportswoman.

Rhewl School held a festive Christmas Evening in the Pavilion on Wednesday, December 10th. It was a lovely evening beginning with headmistress Sian Hilton welcoming everyone. Entertainment was provided by pupils of the School, the Denbighshire Training Band, Denbighshire County Band and the Porthmyn Choir. Mr John Powell the charismatic leader of the two bands introduced the choirs explaining that the Training Band playing that evening drew on pupils from six local Primary Schools whilst the County Band drew members from further affield and where one of the best bands in the UK doing extremely well in Competitions all over the country. We would like to congratulate John and Heather Powell for the excellent work that the do for music in the region and of course the members of the two bands for providing such an excellent show..
The Pavilion was packed out for the evening with the school being used as an overspill for the bands – the extension to the Pavilion is badly needed for such an event.
Rebecca Cutmore's exciting Time
Last September Rebecca joined the YWAM – Next Wave to do her Discipleship Training School (DTS) She applied last minute and to her delight and surprise she got accepted. We had two weeks to prepare for her departure, which was a day before her 18th birthday! Her journey started at Birkenhead where the ship was docked and they set sail a month later. They went down to Falmouth to get four new sails then they sailed to France, Portugal, Spain, Gibraltar and then on to Malta. The journey wasn't an easy one as they faced storms and up to 4m high waves. Fortunately Rebecca discovered she wasn't sea sick and took to the sailing fairly quickly and effortlessly. Each person took their turn in helming the ship, on a 4hour watch and 12 hours off. Rebecca adapted to her new life on the sea and immediately fell in love with her floating home as she calls it. They spent Christmas in Malta where the lecture phase of the school came to an end. On boxing day they went to Greece on their outreach phase. She is at present in Malta
Here are some of the things that Rebecca did in her own words
Feeding the homeless
So I was a part of the group that went around giving food parcels to the homeless on New Year's Eve. This man who was lying in a doorway under a thin blanket was very frightened of us at first and was hiding. But when we approached him with the food he came out from under his blanket. We handed him a parcel and said Happy New Year and he very gratefully accepted. After we had. walked away, we really felt we had to go back to him, so we did and gave him 3 more! He was so appreciative and bewildered! Seeing him tearing into the parcel not able to wait for his food made myday. We had been able to bless him in a practical way. We had a short conversation with him then left. It was great to bless and love people in a practical way like this.
Sunday School
On Sunday mornings a few of us help out with Sunday school in the church we are staying with!). We go to the little room upstairs (where the boys sleep!) And play games, draw pictures and have a lot of fun! The kids are adorable, and many of us have become fast friends!
On a particular Friday in Thessaloniki we made a board with a mirror and set it up in the middle of the city square. We asked people to take a look in the mirror, and ask themselves the question 'Who are you?' When we asked people what they thought Thessaloniki needed the last week, a common answer was that Thessaloniki needs people who know who they are. We wanted to ask this question to get people thinking about their identity.
Something else exiting we are doing here is supporting a new organisation that has just started! It is called Hope Spot. They run every Saturday to provide a free fun space for youth to hang out at and play games like ping pong, uno, jungle speed, scrabble etc! A team of 5 of us go each time to help out
The Porthmyn Choir being impressed with what Rebecca has done agreed to donate a £100 towards her costs of venturing on such a adventure. More good news is that YWAM have offered her a permanent job on the ship she sailed on.

Photos: Froch-Groves Heated Final Presser - Mega Gallery
LONDON, ENGLAND - Promoter Eddie Hearn was forced to stand in-between Carl Froch and George Groves as they went face to face during their final press conference to announce the upcoming rematch showdown, taking place this Saturday night before 80,000 screaming fans at Wembley Stadium in London, England. Froch stakes his IBF/WBA 'regular' super middleweight titles. They first met last November, when Froch won by way of a controversial ninth round stoppage. The IBF would later order an immediate rematch.

proxy models: subclass a model without creating a new table
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|Database layer (models, ORM)
|Triage Stage:
|Has patch:
|Needs documentation:
|Needs tests:
|Patch needs improvement:
|Easy pickings:
Following a discussion with Malcolm on django-users, I've implemented support for what's tentatively named "proxy models". These provide a way for model subclasses to modify the behaviour of a model without creating a new database table. The canonical example seems to be subclassing the User model - you might want to add additional methods/managers/etc, but you still want to pull data directly from the main users table. Under the attached patch this would look like the following:
class MyUser(User) def extra_method(self): print "I am a new method" class Meta: proxy = True
MyUser is now simply a different view onto the main User table, rather than a full-blown subclass with a separate table.
The main body of the patch is to db/models/base.py, where the meta attributes of proxy models are automatically set up. Since it's now possible for a model to be using the same (table,primary key) pair as one of its base classes, I've added a small optimisation in db/models/sql/query.py that avoids a needless join in this case. There's also some tests and a first stab at some documentation.
This patch also integrates with (but doesn't require) ticket #3163, by marking proxy models as unmanaged.
The django-users discussion leading to this patch can be found here: http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_thread/thread/fb06ff8e2a296f9c

Building bright Mediterranean flavors, one tweak at a time
On a menu full of appealing pork- and beef-centric dishes at the Rumpus Room downtown, it was the octopus salad that leaped out.
Such clean, nimble flavors - this was an irresistible dish, light and bright on the palate. True, the meat dishes have clear, big flavors, too; nothing is muddled on this menu. But that salad, with its herb and citrus note and contrasting textures, is compelling. »Read Full Article(1)

Changed Formula and Packaging
Posted by Reviewer1463803 on May 19, 2015
I've been using this lotion for the past two years and I recently ordered a new bottle. The packaging had changed, but what was most disappointing was that the formula was changed as well. This is no longer the great lotion I've been using for the past two years. It now moisturizes very poorly and has a watery consistency. The scent is very faint now as well. I will never be buying it again.

What is the difference between making a post private and password protecting it? Thanks, community.
I was wondering about this too just now... rifled through the documentation a bit and couldn't tell there either: http://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_Posts - this mentions making a post private by password protecting it, when really they're two different functions.
As near as I can tell, password protected posts will show the post title, categories, and tags... and they'll show a box asking for a password. This happens in the RSS and in the theme, at least in the theme I've got.
If a person isn't logged in with proper credentials, they won't even know a private post exists. From my testing, I can't even find a tag I've associated with my private posts, unless I'm logged in as an Editor or Administrator. Authors, Contributors, and Subscribers don't see the posts.
Can anyone confirm this?

James Herriot meets Bridget Jones in this honest, no-holds-barred account of the ups and downs of a vet's life
Misty was ecstatic to see her owner but to the nurse's surprise her owner just stood there and said, "What have you done with my dog's head?" "I'm sorry," replied the nurse, "what do you mean? She's just been in for spaying." "That isn't my dog's head. The rest of it is my dog but you've put a different head on it."
On a crisp October morning in 1996, Emma Milne started her first job as a newly qualified vet, and now she tells the full story. We discover the numerous things that can get stuck in an animal's stomach, how to stop a cow exploding, and—the biggest truth of all—that animals are easy to deal with in comparison to their owners. They say that truth is stranger than fiction, and these tales turn out to be stranger—and funnier—than you could ever have imagined.

Continuing my coverage of the Data Center Conference 2009, we had a keynote session on Wednesday, Dec 2 (Day 3) that focused on the key technologies to watch for the data center.
- Cloud Computing
It seems like every session this week mentioned Cloud Computing. It is service- based, scalable and elastic both upwards and downwards, uses shared resources and internet standards, and can be metered by use. There are three focal points related to Cloud Computing:
- Consuming Cloud Services offered by other providers
- Developing cloud-enabled applications and solutions
- Implementing an internal "Prviate Cloud"
Approach Analogy Data Center Traditional Acquisition You buy a car to get around town. You need to have a drivers license, carry liability insurance, and have a place to park your vehicle. You get to pick the make, model and color. You need to come up with thousands of dollars up front, or arrange some form of financing for monthly payments. It could take days or weeks to purchase, as you test drive different ones, research online, and check out feature comparisons between car dealers. You can drive wherever you want, whenever you want. The same is done in the data center, you buy servers, storage and network gear, build a data center floor to hold it all, and hire server, storage and network administrators to manage it. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) You rent a car from a local Car Rental Agency. You still need a drivers license and carry liability insurance, but often you can get the insurance for the days or weeks that you are renting the car. You have limited choices of make, model and color. You don't need thousands of dollars, just enough to cover the daily or weekly rate. The rental process can be done in minutes. IaaS providers have their own data centers, so you don't need your own. They can rent you floorspace and equipment on a monthly basis. Your server, storage and network administrators manage these remotely. Your OS choices are limited to the types of hardware available, typically x86 servers, SAN and NAS storage. Platform as a Service (PaaS) You take a taxi. Since you are not driving, you do not need a drivers license nor need liability insurance. The vehicle is typically a yellow four-door sedan. You don't need thousands of dollars, just enough to cover the ride, often metered by the distance traveled. Getting a taxi takes minutes, just a matter of calling the cab company, or hailing one streetside. Depending on the cab company, you can tell the taxi driver where to go, how to get there, and that you are in a hurry. PaaS providers have data centers with servers, storage and networking gear. Your options are often Linux or Windows with some middleware web serving and database already running. You may still need some of your own server, storage and network admins to manage things remotely. Usage is metered, you pay for bandwidth, CPU and storage used. Typical rates for Cloud Storage, for example, is 25 cents per GB per month. Software as a Service (SaaS) You take public transportation, like the subway. You are not driving, so no need for license or insurance. The vehicle holds hundreds of passengers, and you have no options on the make, model or color. You only need enough to cover the cost of the ticket, which is often based on the distance traveled. You have to get to the subway station nearest you, and it takes you to the subway station nearest your eventual destination, so other forms of transportation may be required if this does not completely meet your requirements. SaaS providers offer you the application already running in their data center on their servers. You are charged per employee per month that uses this application. You won't need server, storage or network administrators, but you might need your own software developers to customize the application, or compensate for its lack of functionality with surrounding applications if it does not exactly meet your needs. Google Gmail and IBM LotusLive are two examples of this.
- Virtualization for Availability and Business Continuity
No surprise here, virtualization has proven quite useful to improve both high availability and continuous operations within the data center, as well as multiple site configurations for disaster recovery and business continuity. P-to-V is used to refer to the concept of running applications on physical servers at the primary location, but have these as virtual servers under VMware or Hyper-V at the disaster site secondary location to minimize the cost of standby equipment.
- Reshaping the Data Center
Data Center facilities design is going modular, with design for server/storage/network "pod" and contained "power zones".
- IT for Green
This is not making the IT department itself more environment-friendly, but using IT to make the entire company more environment-friendly, including using sensors to monitor input and output, reduce carbon footprint and monitor energy consumption per employee.
- Client Computing
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is changing the way employees use IT services. Rather than having to maintain a full OS and application stack on each employees PC, using VDI and browser-based applications can help centralize and take back control, minimizing help desk costs.
- Operational Analysis
Business Intelligence and Operational Analytics is taking off. In the past, decision support systems were limited to just the highest levels of executives and analysts that work for them, but now the technology is reaching a broader portion of the company, allowing knowledge workers to have more information to make better business decisions. We have seen this transition from employees working off fixed rules of thumb that apply to all situations, to decisions supported by market data, to now a more predictive analysis.
- FLASH memory (Solid State Drives, SSD)
Solid State Drives and advances in memory will impact the storage world in the data center, much as it has in consumer electronics.
- Reshaping the Server
This last prediction seemed far-fetched. The analyst felt that we will begin to see server components to be separated between CPU, memory and I/O support, so that you can seemlessly add or remote each from running servers. Some of this has happened with blade servers, with some components shraed by multiple servers that are hot-swappable.

Shahrukh Khan Approaches Zee For A Show; Follows Salman's Strategy!
Shahrukh Khan, who is known as the King of Bollywood, is all set for his comeback on TV. He had recently approached the Zee Family to look out for some show for him as he thinks that people today know the stars more through the television medium and how big the TV show they are associated with. Like his rival Salman Khan now even SRK wants to come on television as it made Sallu Bhai much more famous than him.
Shahrukh is not new to the TV industry and knows the norms and values of it very well. He, in fact, had started his career from television itself and had started gaining more of popularity from it.
His first ever debut was Fauji which was a TV show. He then was seen hosting popular shoes like Kaun Banega Crorepati, Wipe Out and Pannchvi Pass Se Tej.
In a recent conference, Shahrukh said, "Today stardom is not about awards and Box office, but about who has a bigger TV show. So I am trying to do something. I have told Punit and the Zee family to look out for something for me."
Punit Goenka, who is the MD and CEO of Zee Entertainment, confirmed the news that they are planning to bring Shahrukh back on TV and it will be done very soon.
"The TV audience is very big and I also started with TV and I respect the medium a lot. Television is a great platform for every actor and actress. I would love to participate in it whenever given a chance," Shahrukh added.
It would be amazing to see Shahrukh back on TV as it would add more spice to the television world with Salman Khan already being in it.

The company told me it had been sent out 3 days later on 5-23-12, I explained that it was never received. She then stated to me she could supply me with an online copy. I then explained that i do not always have access to a computer and would like the book as i ordered.
Needless to say, they never sent the hard copy and never sent an online copy either. So i just wasted 48.00. Since then I have tried to contact them to get the hard copy and they have ignored all my e-mails and phone calls. How can i get what I paid for? My test is in November 2012. This is ridiculous !! I guess the better business bureau will be my next step.

Women's Volleyball
Sept. 27, 2012
LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Four different Toreros recorded double-digit kills to help lead the 16th-ranked University of San Diego women's volleyball team to a 3-1 West Coast Conference win over Loyola Marymount University Thursday evening at the Gersten Pavilion.
With the 22-25, 27-25, 28-26, 25-21 win, the Toreros improve to 11-2 overall, remain perfect in WCC pay at 3-0 and they run their winning streak to seven. With the loss, the Lions fall to 9-6 overall and 1-2 in the WCC.
Carrie Baird and Katie Hoekman led the Toreros offensive attack with 12 kills apiece, while Hoekman hit for a .450 clip and Baird recorded a double-double with 12 digs. Alaysia Brown record 11 kills, and led the team with three blocks, meanwhile, Chloe Ferrari recorded 10 kills. Rachel Alvey recoded a double-double with 52 assists and 13 digs, while Kandiss Anderson led the defense with 15 digs. As a team, USD hit .193 for the match.
In the first set, LMU managed to grab the early momentum, as they raced out to a 7-4 lead, and then they managed to open up a five-point lead at 12-7, which forced the Toreros into a timeout. Out of the break, a Baird kill ignited a 4-0 Torero run that was book ended on a LMU attack error to pull San Diego to within one at 12-11. The Lions then managed to stay in font of the Toreros over the next few volleys, before taking a five-point lead for a second time at 21-16, which again forced USD into a timeout. San Diego then regrouped and grabbed the next three points, to force LMU into a timeout. USD would not be able to pull any closer, as the Lions would eventually hold on and claim a 25-22 win.
In the second set, LMU continued off the momentum they had in the set to grab an early 9-5. A Ferrari kill then jump started a 6-1 San Diego run to pull the two teams even at 10-all. LMU would then respond with a 5-1 run, to force the Toreros into a timeout. Out of the stop in action, a Hoekman kill sparked an 8-4 USD run, which knotted the score at 19-all. The two teams then began to trade point-for-point with USD not able to gain the lead. Then the Lions held set-point at 24-23, but back-to-back USD kills by Hoekman and Brown suddenly gave the Toreros set-point at 25-24. The Lions then managed to even the score up, but San Diego grabbed the next two points to take the set and even the match at 1-1.
In the third set, it was a close nit battle all throughout, with both teams taking their turn with the lead and neither team having a lead bigger than four. Then late in the frame, USD managed to get to set-point at 25-24. The Lions then grabbed the next two points to grab set-point themselves at 26-25. But a Brown kill followed by a Ferrari kill and a LMU attack error, would allow USD to claim the set, 28-26.
In the fourth and final set, it was close in the early going, but with the score knotted at 5-all, a LMU attack error then sparked a 6-2 Torero run, which forced Loyola Marymount into a timeout. The Toreros then managed to maintain control of the momentum and went on to build up a lead as big as seven at 16-9. The Lions just could not recover from this deficit, as USD went on to win the match with a 25-21 victory.
San Diego will return to action on Saturday as they take on the University of Portland inside the friendly confines of the Jenny Craig Pavilion at 1 p.m.

McCain's approval ratings fall to new low in Arizona
PHOENIX — A new poll revealed that support for Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in Arizona has dropped to its lowest numbers in 21 years, while Gov. Jan Brewer's approval rose among registered Republicans, but fell overall.
The Rocky Mountain poll of 700 people statewide surveyed April 3-16 found
even before his recent support of tougher background checks for gun buyers, McCain's job approval rating in Arizona was 26 percent.
Only 21 percent believe that McCain deserves another six-year term. In 2010, his job approval rating was 40
The drop in public support for McCain has been ongoing since 2006, when he had
a 63 percent favorable rating, said Earl de Berge, polling director for the
Phoenix-based Behavioral Research Institute. The new poll shows just 26 percent
of respondents gave McCain an excellent or good job rating, while 36 percent
said he was doing a poor or very poor job.
"I think that one of the patterns that we've seen is that slowly but surely
his popularity with Democrats has waned, and then with independents, and now it
has waned with Republicans," de Berge said. "When you get that dynamic in all
three of the major parties, that begins to have an effect that's kind of hard to
"Senator McCain doesn't pay much attention to polls — whether they're up or
down," McCain spokesman Brian Rogers said in an email.
There are several reasons McCain's standing may be slipping in his home state,
de Berge said. One is his focus on national and international issues instead of
Arizona-specific issues. Another is his changed views on overhauling the
nation's immigration laws, which moved from supporting the overhaul, to
opposition during his 2010 re-election campaign, to being a member of the Gang
of Eight negotiating a new immigration overhaul this year.
He's also likely been hurt by his professed pleasure at being a maverick
willing to buck his party.
"I think the one thing that's pretty clear is when you position yourself as
maverick on issues, you may also pay the price for that over time," de Berge
said. "Each little constituency has a particular issue that's its concerned
with, and he's been proud of his record of taking on the party on some issues,
and over time, little by little, that whittles down that base of loyalty."
However, for those politicians pondering a challenge to McCain when's he up for
re-election in 2016, de Berge urged caution.
"He is one tough campaigner," he said. "He's shown a lot of people that he
can come back from significant difficulties."
A lot depends on whether McCain gets a significant opponent during his
re-election effort.
"But right now it's clear that he's not in the best odor with voters that I'm
certain he hopes for. And if he's going to make another run for it, he's going
to have to probably pay more attention to what's going on in Arizona than what's
going on in D.C.," de Berge said.
Brewer, meanwhile, dropped from 37 percent between January 2012 and April 2013, but her April-to-April ratings increased among registered Republicans, from 53 percent to 55 percent.

How to make Salted Honey Caramel
Yield: Depending on size, about two dozen squares
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook: 20 minutes
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon local honey
4 tablespoons salted butter butter
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon fleur de sel, small coarse pieces
- Trace around an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper, leaving about an inch on all sides. Generously butter the parchment paper and place it as securely as possible inside the pan.
- In a small saucepan, heat the condensed milk, butter, honey and cinnamon. Keep an eye on this mixture: once the butter has melted, turn off the heat. At the same time, insert your kitchen thermometer (optional) into a medium saucepan, combine sugar with 2 1/2 tablespoons of water. Place over medium-high heat and let the sugar dissolve. Stir gently to be sure that the sugar melts smoothly. From this point on, stir only as necessary. Cook until the sugar reaches 300 degrees, or for 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and add the cinnamony milk and butter to the sugar mixture. Cook the caramel over medium heat until it reaches 245 degrees, or for 3-5 minutes.
- Remove the medium saucepan from the heat. Add vanilla extract.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan, carefully as to not scrape the hard bits on the bottom and sides. While letting the caramel cool for up to 15 minutes, melt chocolate chips over low heat. Spread the chocolate over cooled caramel. Sprinkle fleur de sel as a garnish.
- Once completely cool, lift out of the pan and onto a countertop. Slice the bar of caramel with a long, sharp knife.
How to make Mini Caramel Chocolate Apples
Yield: about 40
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook: 40 minutes
The yield will greatly depend on the size of your apples and the size of your melon baller.
4 tablespoons (2 ounces) unsalted butter
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (optional)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 medium organic Granny Smith apples
12 ounces good quality semisweet chocolate, chopped
Toppings as desired (nuts, candy, sprinkles)
In a small heavy saucepan set over medium heat melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt and bring to a boil. Add in the cream and spices if using and cook until a candy thermometer or instant read thermometer registers 250°F. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Place the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each burst, until melted and smooth.
Using a melon baller, scoop out balls from each apple. Place a candy stick into the center of each ball. Dip into the chocolate, coating evenly. Let the excess drip before placing on a parchment or silicone mat lined baking sheet. Refrigerate until the chocolate is set.
Dip the apples into the warm caramel, letting the excess drip before rolling in any desired toppings and placing back on the lined baking sheet. Let cool and set completely before serving. Apples that are completely coated can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 day before serving, though they are best served sooner rather than later.
How to make Chocolate Covered Cheesecake Bites
Yield: 36 bites
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook: 4 hours 10 minutes
The key to beautiful, easy-to-dip bites is to make sure they're as cold as possible. If they warm up too much pop them back in the freezer until they're firm and frozen again.
For the crust:
9 whole graham crackers
1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter, melted
For the filling:
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup sour cream
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
For the chocolate coating:
16 ounces semisweet chocolate
4 tablespoons coconut oil
To make crust:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8 by 8-inch square baking dish with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
In a small bowl combine graham cracker crumbs and butter. Press mixture evenly into prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes, or until light golden and fragrant. Reduce heat to 325°F.
To make filling:
Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 3 minutes. On low speed, add in the sour cream, eggs, vanilla, flour, and salt and beat until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Pour the batter over the crust and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until cheesecake is slightly puffed and center is set. If the center is slightly jiggly, that's fine.
Let cool completely on a wire rack. Freeze for 3 hours, or until very cold and firm, or overnight.
To coat in chocolate:
Once frozen, lift cheesecake out of pan and gently peel away foil. Using a sharp knife, cut cheesecake into 36 bite-size squares. If squares become too soft, freeze until chilled again.
Place the chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted and smooth. Place parchment paper or a silicone baking mat on a baking sheet. Dip cheesecake squares, one at a time, in the melted chocolate. Let the excess drip off and place on prepared sheet. Repeat for all the squares then refrigerate until the chocolate is set. Serve or store the squares in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.

How to make Peppermint Oreo Truffles
Yield: about 36 truffles
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook: 1 hour 25 minutes
While I prefer a smoother texture, you can add some crushed candy canes into the cookie mixture for more peppermint taste and crunch.
39 regular Oreo cookies
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
16 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable oil
2 regular-size candy canes, finely crushed
Place the Oreo cookies in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Add the cream cheese and peppermint extract and pulse until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop the mixture into balls about 1-inch in diameter. I like to use this cookie scoop.
Place the cookie balls in the freezer until well chilled, at least 1 hour or up to 1 day.
When cookie balls are chilled, combine the chopped chocolate and oil in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring between bursts, until just melted and smooth. Do not overheat.
Drop each cookie ball into melted chocolate, coating evenly. Remove with a fork, gently tapping off excess chocolate. Place back on cookie sheet and immediately sprinkle with the crushed candy canes. Repeat with the remaining cookie balls.
Refrigerate until set before serving. Store the truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
How to make Loaded Cookie Bars
Yield: 24 bars
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook: 1 hour
1 1/2 cups (6.6 ounces) all-purpose flour
1 cup (4.5 ounces) bread flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 sticks (8 ounces) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups packed dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 large eggs plus 1 egg yolk, at room temperature
20 Oreo cookies, coarsely chopped
1 cup M&M's, or other candy
1 cup chopped Reese's or other candy
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9 by 13-inch pan with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl combine the all-purpose flour, bread flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, vigorously stir the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until very well combined. Add in the vanilla, eggs, and egg yolk and stir until well combined. Gradually add in the flour and stir until just combined. Fold in the Oreos, M&M's, and Reese's, reserving some to sprinkle on top.
Remove the dough to the prepared pan, pressing evenly. Sprinkle with the reserved candy, pressing down lightly with a spatula. Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown but not overcooked. Cool completely before cutting into squares and serving. Bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
How to make Homemade Peanut Butter Cups
Yield: 24-36 peanut butter cups
1 cup peanut butter
4 tablespoons butter
Pinch salt
1 cup powdered sugar (more or less depending on preference)
1 pound tempered semisweet chocolate
In a small saucepan heat the peanut butter and butter until melted, being careful not to scorch. Remove from heat and add in the salt and sugar, mixing until smooth. Let cool then refrigerate until ready to use (can be made and refrigerated up to 3 days ahead of time).
If using miniature paper cupcake liners, use a pastry brush to brush the bottom and up the sides of the liners with the tempered chocolate to create a chocolate shell cup. Let sit at room temperature until shiny and hardened. Fill each cup with about a teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture. Pour tempered chocolate over the peanut butter mixture to seal the cup, using a spatula to spread into an even layer. Let the peanut butter cups sit until shiny hardened. Place in the refrigerator to speed up this process.
If using a chocolate mold instead, generously pour tempered chocolate into the holes of a candy mold to fill each hole completely. Flip the mold upside-down and let the excess chocolate drip back into the bowl with the remaining tempered chocolate so that each mold is thinly coated in chocolate. Flip right-side up and let sit until the chocolate is hardened.
Scoop a teaspoon of filling (more or less depending on your mold) into each mold. Be absolutely certain that there is no filling sticking up above the surface of the mold. It should be a little less than flush with the mold. Place in the refrigerator so the filling can firm slightly.
With a spatula, smooth the tempered chocolate over the filled molds, being careful not to disturb the filling. Tilt the mold to allow the excess chocolate to drip off. Let the chocolates sit until hardened before popping out of the molds to serve.
How to make Chocolate Brigadeiros
Yield: About 45 balls
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook: 4 hours 20 minutes
Brazilian fudge balls
2 (14-ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 teaspoons light corn syrup
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate
2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
5 ounces good-quality chocolate sprinkles
In a medium saucepan, combine the condensed milk, butter, cream, and corn syrup. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
Once the mixture starts to bubble, add the chocolate and cocoa powder, whisking to combine. Reduce the heat to low and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture is dense and fudgy, about 8 to 10 minutes. The mixture is done when you swirl the pan and the mixture slides as one soft piece, leaving a thick residue on the bottom of the pan.
Slide the mixture to a medium bowl (without scraping the bottom) and cool to room temperature. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Place the sprinkles in a shallow dish. Roll the mixture into teaspoon-sized balls then roll in the sprinkles. Store the brigadeiros in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature or up to 1 month in the refrigerator. Serve at room temperature.

How to make Homemade Ferrero Rocher Truffles
Yield: About 100 truffles (can be easily halved)
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook: 1 hour
For the filling:
3 cups crushed hazelnut wafer cookies (I used Pepperidge Farm's Pirouettes)
3 cups finely chopped toasted hazelnuts
1 1/4 cups (10 ounces) Nutella
For the chocolate coating:
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon coconut oil (or vegetable oil)
1 1/2 cups finely chopped toasted hazelnuts
For the filling:
Line a baking sheet with a nonstick baking mat or parchment paper. In a large bowl combine the crushed hazelnut wafer cookies, hazelnuts, and Nutella until well combined. Mixture will be sticky. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator until firm enough to shape, about 30 minutes. Shape into 1/2-ounce balls about the size of a teaspoon. Place balls on prepared baking sheet then chill in the freezer until they are hardened, about 15 minutes.
For the chocolate coating:
Meanwhile, combine the chocolate and oil in a medium microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring between each burst, until the mixture is melted and smooth. Stir in the chopped hazelnuts. Let the mixture cool slightly.
To assemble:
Using a toothpick, dip each chilled truffle into chocolate, coat completely, then place back on the baking sheet. Once all the truffles are dipped, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator until the chocolate coating has hardened, about 15 minutes. Place truffles in mini cupcake liners or wrap in foil to serve. Truffles can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

VERY unprofessional & impersonal and in a hurry to rush you out of the office
I think Dr. Bakenhaster is an excellent Dr. I never feel that she is rushing with me. She listens to what I say. She is very friendly.
I would definitely recommend Dr. Bakenhaster to all of my family and friends. She is HONEST and cares very much for her patients. I love that her office has Saturday hours for sick patients!
We have had her care through many crisis, especially with our children. She has been on top of the problems we had, has always responded by personal calls to our calls even when she was not on duty. The most compassionate caring and skilled family physician I have ever known. Mansfield is lucky to have her.
She is caring and compassionate. I went to a lot of other doctors and she is the only one who has helped me.
The nurses and office staff are very pleasant both on the phone and in person.Dr Bakenhaster is very thorough in determining treatment through results of testing and questions. Although it is a busy office, I did not feel like just a number.

Definición de Soviet Union en inglés:
Soviet Union
Created from the Russian empire in the aftermath of the 1917 Russian Revolution, the Soviet Union was the largest country in the world. It comprised fifteen republics: Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia, Moldova, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and the three Baltic states Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania (annexed in 1940). After the Second World War, the Soviet Union emerged as a superpower in rivalry with the US, leading to the Cold War. Decades of repression and economic failure eventually led to attempts at liberalization and economic reform under President Mikhail Gorbachev during the 1980s. The Soviet Union was formally dissolved in 1991, some of its constituents joining a looser confederation, the Commonwealth of Independent States
