February would not seem like a good time of the year here in Philadelphia for a wedding but times they are a changing. The temps were in the mid fifties with just a drizzle here and there. Even with a bit of rain it did not dampen the fun or enthusiasm of Debbie & Joe's wedding day! They were determined to get outside and enjoy the city in fact we had a few surprises for Joe along the way.
Our first surprise for Joe was the reveal, both of them were so nervous but once they saw each other the love shown through and nerves went away. The next surprise was a bit different. Debbie's father is a Philadelphia police officer and Debbie wanted so much to be photographed with a police cruiser. Little did Joe know that he was going to be arrested by his wife handcuffed and put in the cruiser! Like I said just a bit different:)
We then went to City hall to do family,bridal party and bride & groom photos. While there we were serenaded by a very talented street performer, all in all it was a great time running around the city making great photographs.
The ceremony and reception were at the Atrium at the Curtis Center. Cescaphe was the caterer and did a wonderful job as usual. For entertainment was Jelly Roll an awesome band as always, great seeing my friend Kurt Titchenell.
Debbie and Joe are a fun loving couple and are a blast to be around. Justin and I had a great time at your wedding and we wish you all the best!!

Operation Chipmunk originally began on Monday 22nd May in response to complaints from the local community.
Since then, officers have organised several days of action resulting in numerous arrests and other action, including antisocial behaviour warnings.
To date, arrests have been made in connection with offences including shoplifting, burglary and driving with no insurance. Fixed penalty notices have been handed out to those not wearing seatbelts and antisocial behaviour warnings have been handed out to a number of youths. In addition to this, Cleveland and Durham Specialist Operations Unit has seized seven vehicles for being used with no insurance or MOT.
PC Mike Pilbeam, who coordinated Monday's activity, said: "The operation was all about education and promoting road safety, with enforcement where absolutely necessary.
"Thursday's day of action was successful in tackling some of the issues that had been brought to our attention. I would like to thank those in the community who brought these issues to our attention and also our partner agencies for their invaluable assistance."

Currently, we are contracted providers for several health plans. This means that we have made special reimbursement arrangements with these health plans in order to provide fertility treatments to our patients. If you are a member of a contracted health plan, we will bill your health plan directly for your services. Each health plan requests different information from us as providers, and you as a memberof the plan. In addition, your particular group plan may define your benefits and the information needed very specifically. We must comply with all of the plan's requests in order to secure your reimbursement.
The following is a current list of the health plans that contract with RMI for IVF financing:
- BlueCross/BlueShield HMO-Illinois
- BlueCross/BlueShield PPO
- BlueCross/BlueShield Blue Advantage
- BlueCross/BlueShield Blue Choice
- Blue Cross/Blue Shield Advantage HMO
- Blue Cross/Blue Shield Precision HMO
- ElmCare

- First Health
- Harken
- Illinois Health Partners Group

- Unicare PPO
- United Health Care
Even if we are not contracted providers with your health plan, or you already know that you have limited or no health benefits, we also offer several financing options, in order to help our patients conceive without going into unmanageable debt. Working with our staff, many patients who are designated "out-of-network" or "self-pay" reach informed, satisfactory payment arrangements with our centers.
Payment for Services
Please remember that, while payment for services at our Institute is your primary responsibility, we consider this a team effort. We ask that you help us help you maximize coverage for fertility treatment by sharing information with us.
- Explore and understand your current health plan coverage for fertility treatment. Getting to know your health plan representatives and your specific member benefits lets you make informed choices about treatment and your ability to pay for services.
- Check to see whether your health plan requires a referral in order to be treated at our centers. We will be happy to contact primary care providers to assist with this process and any renewals necessary.
- Keep us informed of changes in your health plan. Whether you switch plans entirely, exhaust benefits, change primary care providers, or add additional carriers – please let us know. We can help your understand these changes and how they may affect your reimbursement.

The 2017 Stanley Cup Playoffs are underway, so you know what that means: top defensemen around the National Hockey League are getting absurd amounts of ice time each night, even in late-night overtime games.
Except for the Nashville Predators, apparently.
While players like Ottawa's Erik Karlsson (30:23 time on ice per game), St. Louis' Alex Pietrangelo (29:51 TOI/GP) and Minnesota's Ryan Suter (29:06 TOI/GP) are carrying the defensive weight for their respective teams, the Predators have been able to spread out the ice time a little bit more.
In 2017, all six of the Predators' defensemen are averaging at least 11 minutes per game, but no more than around 27 minutes per game, and that is thanks to their skilled and reliable third pairing, Matt Irwin and Yannick Weber.
While neither of them have a point in this series, their impact has been felt throughout the team's defense. With Irwin and Weber eating important minutes, the entire defense corps can stay rested and stay consistent throughout the playoffs.
"You see that a lot of the games have gone to overtime, and I think that's where it's going to pay off, where you can roll your six defensemen," Irwin said. "Obviously, there's guys that are going to get some more time on special teams and stuff like that, but if you can roll six d-men as much as possible, it's just going to benefit the group as you get into the later stages of the game or overtime."
Nashville has just two defensemen in the top 20 in the NHL in terms of TOI/GP in the playoffs. Roman Josi sits in seventh with 27:14 TOI/GP and Ryan Ellis is in 16th with 25:49 TOI/GP. In addition, you'd have to scroll all the way down to #23 in those rankings to find Predators star P.K. Subban, averaging 25:17 TOI/GP.
Compare that to the 2014-15 Stanley Cup Playoffs, when Josi led all playoff defensemen with 31:36 TOI/GP, Subban (then with the Canadiens) sat in eighth among defensemen, and the Predators featured five defensemen in the top 20 in that category. It is worth noting that then-Predators captain Shea Weber missed the last four games of that playoff run, yet he was still in the top 20 in terms of minutes.
The Predators' defense has undergone dramatic change since that 2014-15 run, one of which is the addition of a third defense pairing that can ease the burden on the top four. Weber recognizes how important that is to the team's success.
"I think you don't want to overdo it, and I think the coaching staff, they trust everybody enough to play them a certain amount of minutes," he said. "I think if you have the luxury to not overplay certain guys, I think it's good to have, because you don't want them to be tired when it comes down the stretch. I think everybody has his role on this team and I think the coaches know when to play who and I think they've been doing a good job with that."
Irwin and Weber have averaged around 11 minutes of ice time per game throughout the playoffs, easily the lowest amongst the team's defensemen. However, that doesn't mean that they don't understand how important those 11 minutes are, and what they mean for the rest of the defense corps.
"[Laviolette] gets our shifts in and if you play 10 or 15 or 20 minutes, you never feel like you don't play much," Weber said. "I think you always feel like you're in a good rhythm. We've been doing that all year, so we definitely maybe have a little bit of a smaller role beside the top four, but we definitely feel like we have a good rhythm and we feel we're part of the game."
That defensive parity will be crucial against a St. Louis Blues team in the second round that plays a tough, heavy game. Four of their players stand 6'4" tall and weigh over 22o pounds. Weber said his team is prepared to go toe-to-toe in a gritty battle.
"We know they have a really good team," he said. "They played a good series against Minnesota. We know what's coming at us, and we know what we can do. But, we know it's going to be a little bit more heavy. I know they play a little more physical game than maybe Chicago did. It doesn't matter if it's a physical game, or a speed game, I think we're comfortable with either one."
Defenseman Ryan Ellis agreed, but thought that the Blues' kind of game is not unique to St. Louis.
"Playing in the West, it's almost every game that we see a team that likes to hit and likes to play heavy," he said. "I guess you could say we're used to it."

The Spades
Relying on craft, not gimmick, The Spades are a high-energy band who draw musical inspiration from early rock n roll and infuse it with a vibrancy which is all their own. The trio of James McKenty (vox/guitar), Winchester Street (drums, vox), and Chachi Robichaud (bass, mandolin, vox) deliver a solid, vigorous live show which excites audiences and critics across the country. Blending infectious rhythms, vocal harmonies, and a skillful soaring guitar, The Spades create a seamless sound which belies their age.
Hailing from the artistic community of Peterborough, Ontario, the band has played hundreds of shows across Canada and shared the stage with some of Canadas leading musicians, including Sam Roberts Band, Blue Rodeo, The Trews, Pascale Picard and The Tragically Hip.
With producer Gord Sinclair (The Tragically Hip) at the helm again, The Spades released their follow up to Burning On Fumes with Let It Grow in 2007 and have supported the release with almost a hundred shows throughout Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes.
Heres what the press has said:
simply the best garage outfit in Ontario Hamilton Spectator
...The Spades are a band youll want to catch on the way up Ottawa Citizen
All lame critics puns aside, this group really does have talent in spades
The disc benefits from Sinclairs decision to record most of the tracks live off-the-floor, a move that imparts fluid energy and warmth to these well arranged songs and, in the process, showcases the bands noted live performance acumen Exclaim!
The Spades are eagerly awaiting a return back to the studio with the goal of having some new tunes ready for release in the Fall.
James McKenty, has dedicated his life to music since he was 15. Influenced by the great songwriters of rock n roll from Chuck Berry to Bob Dylan and Neil Young to Tom Petty, James is a powerhouse guitarist and a truly unique song-writer with a sound of his own. Onstage his energy and dedication to performance are unrivalled.
Winchester Street, has played and lived on both ends of our fair country, in Victoria and Halifax. On the East Coast he shared music and adventures with Spades bassist Chachi, coming back with great stories and no visible scars. As a member of The Spades from the beginning, he and guitarist James share an understanding which is immediately clear and with a quiet nature off stage, hes a contradiction on stage with his ferocious nature behind the kit.
Chachi Robichaud, is an absolute must see live, hes as engaging and expressive as one gets on stage. A true believer in live music and the need to give it all youve got! With any luck, youll be at a show to see The Chachi Song, a one of a kind performance.

Franklin in Pendleton County, West Virginia — The American South (Appalachia)
McCoy House
Union Headquarters
—1862 Valley Campaign —
After the Battle of McDowell on May 8, 1862, Confederate Gen. Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson's army pursued the retreating Federals. The Union force under Gens. Robert C. Schenck and Robert H. Milroy fled about thirty miles to Franklin. They set the woods on fire as they went to delay the Confederate pursuit. The smoke reduced visibility to two hundred yards, and burning trees fascinated the soldiers. One of Jackson's staff members wrote, "At night the light was exquisitely beautiful. These dead trees were columns of fire."
On reaching Franklin, Schenck established a defensive line on the hill west of William McCoy's house in front of you, where he had made his headquarters
"The whole [Union] army said to be twenty thousand strong were encamped two weeks in and around Franklin and having many sick and wounded nearly every in town has been converted into a hospital. ...One Lieutenant from Ohio died in our house. ... Yesterday morning the whole army of Gen. Freemont [sic] commenced a hasty retreat... leaving 125 sick and wounded." - William McCoy, May 28, 1862

Boy George has taken to Twitter to criticize Eminem for homophobic "Rap God" lyrics.
Boy George is the latest to take offence to Eminem's use of the words "fag" and "faggot" on his new single "Rap God". Although he apparently has yet to hear the record, the openly gay English singer-songwriter took to Twitter to voice his opinion.
"Fag? Is this really recovery talk or are you running your own program these days?" George tweeted at Eminem. "Really unhelpful."
During the first verse of the track, Eminem can be heard rapping "I'll still be able to break a motherfuckin' table over the back of a couple of faggots and crack it in half," followed by "you fags are all the same." Also, later in the track, he raps: "Little gay-looking boy / So gay I can barely say it with a straight face-looking boy / You witnessing massacre like you watching a church gathering taking place-looking boy / 'Oy vey, that boy's gay,' that's all they say looking-boy / You take a thumbs up, pat on the back, the way you go from your label every day-looking boy."
The singer also expressed his disappointment in the media's reception of the single.
"Isn't it sad how the media just accepts abuse of gay people? Fucked."
What do y'all think? This certainly isn't the first time Em' has come under fire for his lyrics, homophobic or otherwise.
Hilarious. I haven't heard this record? I just object to the term 'fag'. http://t.co/F0lZYkMiAp— Boy George (@BoyGeorge) October 19, 2013

Today, Sunday, was cold (for Texas). Too cold to play outside, especially if you have sick kids. Yes, Jake and I went to the RediClinic yesterday to be told he has bronchitis. Yuck. I think he was mostly fever free today. I left all the boys/men home and went to church alone. When I got home, Zachy had fever. Sigh. So it goes. Well, after naps and lunch and all the play inside...we all had cabin fever. Neil and tossed around several ideas of "getting out" but nothing seemed worth it. So about 9pm, we bundled them up, got in the car- Hershey and Bini too- and headed out to look at lights. Guess what? LOTS of people have already tuned off their lights at 9pm on a Sunday. But it was fun, anyway. And it was nice getting out.' Jake was rather excited about wearing 2 different socks. And Zachy put on his shoes all by himself. They are Jake's sandals and way too big for him, but I'm not going to tell him that. He thought he was BIG TIME.

First cruise, now we're cruise 'junkies'
Sail Date: March 01, 2007
Ship: Freedom of the Seas
Cabin Type: Balcony
Traveled As: Couple
Reviewed: 8 years ago
Review SummaryThis was both mine and my girlfriend's first cruise. She uses a wheelchair, so accessibility is always an issue, but the ship was great. Wish people would use the stairs more and allow the people that need the elevators the chance to use them (we often waited several times till we got an elevator w/ enough room for a wheelchair). The stateroom was great, very accessible and spacious, and our attendant Anthony and the bartender at the pub from Trinidad (sorry I can't remember her name) were helpful, friendly, and couldn't have been nicer.
Pros: Chops Grille, our stateroom attendent
Cons: Labadee workers, Jamaican taxi drivers

A couple of months ago I demonstrated how to create an A.I that believes in magic. Let me explain how this came about.
For the past three years, I have been an Associate Creative for Being There: Humans and Robots in Public Spaces, a £2million research project funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). The research involved six different universities and included computer scientists, psychologists, robotics engineers, musicians, puppeteers, choreographers, musicians, game designers, and a magician.
We examined how to preserve privacy, how to encourage trust in human-robot communication, and the implications of using a robot to stand in for the physical presence of a human. We created methods for encouraging synchronicity between robotic movement and that of humans in public spaces and ways of measuring how people respond to robots in order to better understand the reception of robots in public spaces.
As part of the research, I spent some time with Queen Mary University looking at what the future of Fortune Telling Robots might be. There is a long and rich history of fortune-telling automata, which I'll be writing about elsewhere, but we became interested in how a robot might have its fortune told.
I began considering how an A.I. might become superstitious. How it might develop brand new superstitions and beliefs of its own.
We tend to focus on two goals when thinking about A.I.
1. How to create efficient A.I. that can do certain tasks without messing up.
2. How to make A.I. more lifelike, or more "human".
These two goals are very different. To err is human. Scriptwriters know that if you want to make a character more believable give them a flaw. Have them make a mistake. Then the audience can respond emotionally. Give them a weakness. Superman is boring without Kryptonite. This is true of both heroes and villains.
Perfection is a danger that good magicians know very well. A magician who never ever gets anything wrong first becomes boring then quickly becomes one of the worst things a performer can ever be, a smart-arse.
While I was pondering how to make a superstitious A.I. three stories hit the news. All of them about racism and A.I.
The first concerned a chatbot made by Microsoft called Tay. Tay was designed to mimic the language patterns of a 19-year-old American girl and to learn from interacting with human users of Twitter. Within a day of its release, Tay was posting racist messages in response to other Twitter users. Tay was mimicking the deliberately offensive behavior of other Twitter users, and Microsoft had not given the bot an understanding of inappropriate behavior. Tay was taken offline around 16 hours after its launch.
The second story concerned Beauty A.I., an experiment to use a range of algorithms to judge an international beauty contest. Around 6,000 people from more than 100 countries submitted photos hoping that the algorithms would determine that they most closely resembled "human beauty". Out of 44 winners, nearly all were white and the controversy sparked debates about the ways in which algorithms can perpetuate biases, yielding unintended and often offensive results.
Thirdly, a team of researchers found that widely-used language processing algorithms trained on human writing from the internet reproduce human biases along racist and sexist lines.
These are all complex cases that are difficult for those untrained in computer science to fully understand. Simplistic news stories of "racist A.I." too easily miss the importance of understanding when it is the data that is flawed and when it is the algorithm.
UPDATE: Some good coverage of this ongoing issue in The Guardian.
In order to demonstrate how easily erroneous belief can be generated I created a performance about a superstitious A.I.
Let me tell you the story of Parry.
Parry is short for Pareidolia, the condition where the mind perceives a familiar pattern of something where none actually exists, like seeing animals in the clouds, Gods in the stars, or the face of Jesus in a slice of toast. Pareidolia is one aspect of superstition.
I began with a simple idea.
– A.I. are good at finding patterns in Big Data.
– If we make an A.I. believe that certain patterns are significant then we will have given it Pareidolia.
Effective superstitions are often based on old traditions so I started with Pythagoras and his belief that your birthday reveals your personality. Mapping people's fortunes against their date of birth is a classic numerology/astrology technique.
I gave Parry lots of data from personality tests where people had also been asked for their birthday and asked the A.I. to analyze the data and to find patterns. As expected, Parry discovered that there are specific personality traits that correlate with a date of birth. I had Parry reduce these to 9 distinct personality types. This gave Parry a basic superstition that people could relate to. Fewer people now believe in the influence of gods and planets than in the time of Pythagoras but they do believe that we have distinct personality types – despite all evidence to the contrary.
I made the personality types more complex by adding in retail purchasing information. Now Parry could not only predict your personality but also tell you what brand of snacks and beer you are likely to favor.
Seeking ways to make Parry's superstition more elaborate, I wanted to use a more modern taxonomy of invisible spirits that have clear personality types, that operate in public spaces and had exerted great invisible influence over the Summer. And so I used Pokemon.
Good fortune-telling systems are often complex, esoteric, and baffling to outsiders so Pokemon was perfect.
I had Parry match the 9 personality types to text descriptions of the personalities of Pokemon. I called this combination of Big Data Personality Pareidolia and Pokemon Personality Mapping by the name Pokedolia.
Given your date of birth, Parry can tell you which Pokemon you are most like, what your personality traits are, and what your buying habits are.
During the demonstrations of Parry's Pokedolia, the whole audience will have their fortunes told. They say that the readings feel uncannily accurate and feel a great affinity with their Pokemon type. This happens despite the fact that I explain exactly how the superstition was created.
Parry's Pokedolia raises some interesting questions about what we mean when we talk about belief. We tend to reduce the concept to a binary yes/no answer. We either believe or we don't believe. But we are far more playful and flexible than that. We are able to momentarily believe in ways that are both light and profound. We can take things seriously and playfully at the same time. We can believe and doubt in the same instant. A lot of the time we prefer to have what I call a Schrödinger's belief, both believing and disbelieving until we are forced to make a choice between the two.
So what does this mean if we are ever to create A.I. that thinks like we do? Should an A.I. be able to believe and to doubt as fluidly as a human can? In what sense could Parry actually believe or disbelieve in anything?
Edit: This story about an academic paper that claims that computers can tell whether you will be a criminal based on nothing more than your facial features is another an example of the dangers of thinking that computers are immune to error.

Reference-grade film screen brand Seymour-Screen Excellence has brought to market the CEDIA channel's first-ever tunable white bias lighting kit. The offering is unique in that it can be adjusted from 3,000K to 20,000K to achieve a true 6,500K Kelvin color temperature Properly-calibrated back-lighting (also known as hue) behind and around the film screen serves to improve contrast and reduce eye strain. This is especially useful when combining a high-brightness projector with an ambient light-rejecting (ALR) film screen in a darkened room setting.
"Lighting kits have become popular among film screen and HDTV users, however much of the ones available on the market actually contaminate the video experience because they simply project primary or secondary colors onto the wall. For video purists like us, this looks so ridiculous. We jokingly refer to them as 'dancing UFO lights,'" quips Seymour-Screen Excellence Managing Director Chris Seymour.
"Understanding that the vast majority of homeowners aren't painting their room walls a D65 color, we set out to design a solution that could compensate for their wall color and make high dynamic range (HDR) and high-brightness viewing less fatiguing. Now when the homeowner gets their projected image calibrated, their calibrator can find the bias light setting for a true 6,500K," added Seymour.
How it Works
The kit is comprised of LED light strip assembly that gets taped around the rear of the fixed-frame film screen. Via the kit's IR remote, the calibrator can bring the color temperature up or down to best suit the wall-color, using a color meter (not included) to measure the temperature. "If the walls are yellow or orange, the kit would be dialed toward a blue (or cool) tint to increase the ambient bias lighting up to 6,500K. Conversely, if the walls are on the bluish side, the kit would be dialed toward the warm-end to decrease the ambient bias lighting down to 6,500K," explained Seymour.
Ambient Light-Rejecting Film Screen Applications
Ambient light-rejecting (ALR) film screens are beneficial in rooms subject to daylight or other lighting that cannot be completely controlled – albeit a multi-purpose entertainment room or dedicated theater. Additionally, some homeowners are opting to use a high-brightness projector with an ALR screen to achieve an eye-popping large screen experience that exceeds the size of a flatscreen TV. While ALR screens have been popular over the years, they have been prone to problems that affect performance, namely issues such as color shifting, hot spotting, ringing, sparkling, etc.
The Ambient-Visionaire
In 2014, Seymour-Screen Excellence brought to market its first ALR screens. Called Ambient-Visionaire™, this proprietary ambient light filtration offers the reference-quality color uniformity that the brand is known for, yet without exhibiting any of the traditional performance issues. Its surface is comprised of billions of nano-mirrors, dithered at the desired viewing angle, and layered so that side light from any direction will be absorbed by carbon particles and the substrate. The reflective elements are less than 1/10th the smallest size visible by the human eye, therefore the screen cannot create a discrete sparkle. So small and dense, a 16K resolution pixel would have over 300 mirrors to itself; a 4K pixel nearly 5,000.
With this more efficient method of selectively reflecting the projected image versus ambient light, the Ambient-Visionaire has been heralded as best-in-class by many leading CEDIA publications as well as leading reference calibrator W. Jeff Meier's AccuCal Projection Screen Material Reports.
The Ambient-Visionaire consists of the Silver Series (2.1 and 1.3 gain) and Black Series (1.2 gain) screens. The screens are available in sizes up to 130-inches wide (141-inches diagonal) in 2.37 aspect ratio and 100-inches wide (115-inches diagonal) in 16:9 aspect ratio.
Tunable White Bias LED Lighting Kit Contents
Comprised of LED light strips, a power supply and IR remote, the tunable white bias lighting kit represents the first back-lighting solution from Seymour-Screen Excellence. The kit used in conjunction with the Seymour-Screen Excellence Ambient-Visionaire makes for an unprecedented cinematic experience. With MSRP set at $490, the light kit is shipping now.

When you're going through a divorce, it may seem as though every family member, friend and work colleague has advice for you. Much of this is financial advice. Professional financial advisors say that they spend a good deal of time convincing their clients that the information they've received from people in their social circle is inaccurate and potentially detrimental to their financial future.
One certified financial planner notes that "money is extremely emotional." That's particularly true when someone is in the midst of a divorce, and their ability to make sound decisions is compromised by the myriad feelings they're having. Another CFP says, "Try telling someone who's already mad at the world that their friends and family are not the folks to rely on in a divorce for financial advice."
When you're going through a divorce, the decisions you make can impact your financial future for many years to come. These include decisions regarding investments, retirement accounts, property division, spousal and child support and changes to estate plans.
If you have the resources, it's worthwhile seek advice from a financial planner and tax advisor in addition to your Florida family law attorney. If you and your spouse already have a financial team, it's often best to seek out new professionals who will look out after your interests alone and not have any conflict of interest.
That's just the first step. As one of the CFP notes, "When you hire someone with special expertise, you need to be ready to listen to them."
Your attorney can likely provide you with recommendations of financial and tax advisors in your area. Taking their advice over that of well-meaning friends and family will put you in the best possible financial position as you begin this new stage of your life.

The topic of this page has a wikia of it's own: CollegeHumor Wiki.
CollegeHumor is a comedy website owned by InterActiveCorp and based in New York City. The site features daily original comedy videos and articles created by its in-house writing and production team, in addition to user-submitted videos, pictures, articles and links. In early 2009, CollegeHumor's editorial staff wrote and starred in their own TV show, The CollegeHumor Show, on MTV. CollegeHumor is operated by Connected Ventures, a New York company that also owns Defunker, BustedTees, Sports Pickle, and Vimeo (also owned by IAC).
The site was created in 1999 by Josh Abramson and Ricky Van Veen. Abramson and Van Veen were high school friends from Baltimore, Maryland. Site traffic averages over 7 million monthly unique visitors, according to Quantcast direct measurement. According to Fox News, "[We wanted to start] an advertisement-based business," Abramson said, "because at the time the advertising market was pretty hot and we'd seen other people develop Web sites that were popular making a lot of money." Their aim was to create a humor site that would appeal to the advertiser-friendly college-aged demographic. CollegeHumor, along with its parent company, Connected Ventures, was acquired by Barry Diller's InterActiveCorp in August 2006. In recent years, CollegeHumor has become known for its original comedy content. The site has been nominated for the Webby Award in the humor category, and many of their individual videos have been nominated for and/or won Webby Awards. Recent winners include "Pixar Intro Parody" for Best Animation, "Web Site Story" for Best Individual Short or Episode, and "Jake and Amir" for Best Series. Their shorts "Awkward Rap" and "Hand Vagina" were nominated for the Webby Award for Best Comedy: Individual Short or Episode in 2008 and 2009, respectively.
CollegeHumor produces original comedy videos under the CH Originals (formerly known as CHTV) banner. In addition, the site hosts a large collection of user-submitted viral videos, encompassing home movies, bizarre sports highlights, sketches, and the like.
CollegeHumor's Pictures section features user-submitted photographs. Like the site's videos, CollegeHumor's pictures are of a humorous or bizarre nature. CollegeHumor also occasionally holds photo-based contests for its users. CollegeHumor also provides a hottest/cutest college girl contest almost every day throughout the year.
CollegeHumor posts original writing from its staff and users, including humorous essays, comics, interviews and weekly columns on sports, video games, college life and dating. Contributing writers to the site have included notable comedians Christian Finnegan, David Wain, Paul Scheer and Judah Friedlander.
CH OriginalsEdit
CH Originals is CollegeHumor's original comedy video section, featuring sketches and short films written and produced by the CollegeHumor staff. The site releases over ten new videos per week. CH Originals videos include sketch comedy, film and television parodies, animation, and music videos. In addition to stand-alone viral comedy shorts or "one-offs", which are usually shot on location and feature hired actors, CH Originals also produces a number of series—notably "Hardly Working", "Jake and Amir", and "Bleep Bloop"—which are shot in the CH office and star the CH staff members themselves.[1]
CollegeHumor's original videos average 20 million views per month on the site. In addition, their videos are collected on the CollegeHumor YouTube Channel, which currently has over 1,100,000 subscribers.[2]
List of SeriesEdit
CH Sketches, Animations, and Music
- One-off comedy sketches, cartoons and music videos written and produced by the in-house staff. Dan Gurewitch and Amir Blumenfeld head the writing efforts of these sketches, which are designed to be more "viral" in nature than the site's other comedy content.

- A video-game-based talk show hosted by Jeff Rubin and Patrick Cassels, featuring various guests.
Josh's Mindhouse
- Characters and absurdist situations created by Josh Ruben, a director of many CH Originals.
- Sketches shot from the point-of-view of the main character, often voiced by Vincent Peone, CollegeHumor's cinematographer. These sketches are known for being relatable and are among CH's most popular videos.
Prank War
- A series that documents the escalating pranks that are played between CH staffers Streeter Seidell and Amir Blumenfeld. Prank War gained national notoriety after one of the two employees staged a public marriage proposal to the other's girlfriend on his behalf. The incident was known as "The Yankee Prankee" and was later featured on VH1's "40 Greatest Pranks Part 2".[3] Seidell and Blumenfeld have appeared twice on Jimmy Kimmel Live to discuss their pranks.
CH Live
- Excerpts from stand-up comedy performances from CH's monthly live show at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in New York City.
The All-Nighter
- An annual event started in 2007 in which the CH staff shoots and posts 12 videos in one night between 9 pm and 9 am. While doing so, they communicate with fans via Twitter and UStream.
Past Series
- Previously, CH Originals produced The Michael Showalter Showalter, a Charlie Rose-style comedic interview series hosted by Michael Showalter and featuring guests such as Paul Rudd, Andy Samberg, David Cross and Michael Cera. They also gained notoriety for "Street Fighter: The Later Years", which was nominated for "Best Series" by YouTube's Video Awards.[4]
The CollegeHumor ShowEdit
- Main article: The CollegeHumor Show
On December 17, 2008, CollegeHumor.com announced The CollegeHumor Show, a scripted comedy that premiered on MTV on February 8, 2009.[5] The half-hour comedy was written by and starred nine actual CollegeHumor.com editorial staff members (Ricky Van Veen, Jake Hurwitz, Amir Blumenfeld, Dan Gurewitch, Patrick Cassels, Sarah Schneider, Streeter Seidell, Sam Reich and Jeff Rubin), who played fictionalized versions of themselves.

We don't send much, but we'd like to stay in touch!
Our latest design - featuring clean lines, linen shade and body, brass details, and a walnut base. Lose yourself in the luxury of linen.
Inspired by sea kelp, we use custom cast and spun metal parts for this minimalistic fixture. Adjusting the lighting arm position creates open, dynamic angles.
Toying with conventional proportions, bold angles and lines appeal to a modernist's style. Thoughtfully placed through-joints and subtle brass inlays provide an elevated touch.
Elegance and simplicity align. Inspired by the biannual equilibrium of night and day, a dramatic balance of light and shadow.
Sweeping lines, arching curves, and subtle chamfered edges are the hallmarks of this collection. The nature-inspired designs reference forking tree branches and root systems.

A finding that one riding in an automobile was a passenger of the driver for hire and not a mere guest was warranted by evidence that during the journey he paid the driver twenty-five cents in accordance with an arrangement made between them on previous occasions that when such journeys were made he would pay the driver amounts which varied with the distance travelled.
An answer made by a witness without his attention being directed to an inconsistency with his previous testimony could not be said to be a rejection of the previous testimony; the truth of the matter was for the jury.
Evidence that an automobile driver at night, with the road covered with snow and poor visibility ahead because of sleet on his windshield, disregarding a suggestion by a passenger that he stop and clear the windshield, drove off the road and parallel to it along a row of trees for seventy-five feet, when he struck a pole, warranted a finding of his negligence and did not require a finding that the passenger was guilty of contributory negligence.
THREE ACTIONS OF TORT. Writs in the Superior Court dated April 11, 1934.
At the trial before Leary, J., there were verdicts for the plaintiffs in the sums, respectively, of $3,000, $250, and $1,250. The defendant alleged exceptions.
The cases were submitted on briefs.
E. L. Shaw, D. D. O'Brien, & W. E. Dwyer, for the defendant.
R. T. Doyle, for the plaintiffs.
DONAHUE, J. The plaintiffs in the first and third cases seek to recover damages for injuries received while riding in an automobile owned and operated by the defendant.
Page 113
They will hereinafter be referred to as the plaintiffs, although the father of one of them seeks in the second action to recover for loss of services and medical expenses resulting from his son's injury.
The cases were tried together before a jury in the Superior Court. In each case there was a verdict for the plaintiff on a count alleging negligence, and a verdict for the defendant on a count alleging gross negligence and reckless operation of the automobile.
The plaintiffs and the defendant lived in Northampton. On a stormy winter evening they left that city in the defendant's automobile, which was operated by him, and attended a dance in Chicopee, sixteen miles away. They started home after midnight, and on the way back to Northampton the automobile driven by the defendant left the travelled part of the highway and collided with a telegraph pole, and both plaintiffs were injured.
One question raised by the defendant's exceptions is as to the duty, in the matter of using care, which the defendant owed to the plaintiffs. That depends upon the relationship existing between the defendant and the plaintiffs at the time of the accident. If, as the defendant contends, he was transporting the plaintiffs gratuitously, his obligation was to refrain from gross negligence and recklessness in the operation of the automobile and he would not be liable for the consequences of the mere failure by him to use ordinary care.
The evidence viewed in its aspects most favorable to the plaintiffs warranted the finding that the defendant's undertaking was not gratuitous. Each of the plaintiffs on the night in question, after the defendant had purchased gasoline at a station in Northampton, gave the defendant twenty-five cents. Nothing was then said by any one as to the purpose of the payments. There was, however, evidence that, for several months preceding the time of the accident, the plaintiffs frequently rode with the defendant in his automobile to places outside Northampton. When this practice began an agreement was made by the parties to the effect that when such trips were taken the
Page 114
plaintiffs would pay the defendant therefor an amount which varied with the distance travelled. Thereafter the plaintiffs paid the defendant every time such journeys were made.
The jury were warranted in finding that the payments of money by the plaintiffs to the defendant on the night of the accident, although nothing was then said about it, were made and received under the terms of their earlier agreement, that is, as payments specifically for the transportation of the plaintiffs to Chicopee and back to Northampton. On such a finding the plaintiffs at the time of the accident were being transported by the defendant, not gratuitously, but for a definite pecuniary consideration satisfactory to the defendant. Under that relationship the plaintiffs, if not contributorily negligent, were entitled to recover damages for injuries caused by the failure of the defendant to use ordinary care. Chooljian v. Nahigian, 273 Mass. 396, 398. Foley v. McDonald, 283 Mass. 96, 98. Compare Sleeper v. Massachusetts Bonding & Ins. Co. 283 Mass. 511, 515; Woods v. Woods, 295 Mass. 238; Askowith v. Massell, 260 Mass. 202. The defendant's requests for the rulings that there was no contract between the plaintiffs and the defendant, that the plaintiffs were not passengers for hire and that there was no legal benefit conferred on the defendant were rightly denied.
On the evidence, the jury were not obliged to find, as the defendant contends, that if any contract of hire existed it terminated upon arrival at the dance hall in Chicopee. The inference was warranted that the payments to the defendant were for the round trip. See Weida v. MacDougall, 300 Mass. 521.
After one of the plaintiffs had testified that nothing was said when he paid money to the defendant on the night of the accident and that he paid it for a ride to the dance, he gave an affirmative answer to the question whether he was "helping to pay for the gasoline." It cannot be said that his answer must have been taken by the jury to be a rejection by him of his earlier testimony. His attention was not directed to any alleged inconsistency between the answer
Page 115
and what he had earlier testified. If there was a conflict in statements of the witness, it was for the jury to determine which statement should be accepted. Thibeault v. Poole, 283 Mass. 480, 482. Coyle v. Worcester Consolidated Street Railway, 273 Mass. 475, 476.
There was evidence warranting a finding that the injuries of the plaintiffs were caused by the failure of the defendant to use ordinary care in the operation of the automobile. It was a stormy night, and sleet accumulated on the windshield soon after the parties started on their homeward journey. The defendant was operating the automobile and the two plaintiffs were with him on the front seat. The side curtains were drawn and no view could be had to the right or to the left. Because of the sleet on the windshield there was no view of the road ahead except through a small portion of the windshield which the defendant cleared by reaching outside the automobile. After they had proceeded about a mile one of the plaintiffs told the defendant to stop and clear the windshield, to which the defendant made no response. Very soon afterwards they met an automobile going in the opposite direction. The automobile of the defendant was then on the right side of the portion of the highway paved for vehicular traffic, which was covered with packed snow and ice. So far as appears, the passing automobile was on its right side of the highway. The defendant nevertheless drove his automobile, which was travelling at the rate of speed of thirty to thirty-five miles an hour, off the paved portion of the way and off a three-foot graveled shoulder on which there was soft snow with a coating of crust, and then proceeded parallel with the road along a tree belt, covered with snow, between the gravel shoulder and the sidewalk, for the distance of seventy-five feet, where his automobile collided with a telegraph pole located six feet from the outer edge of the gravel shoulder. The defendant testified that he knew he was off the road to some extent but did not "feel there was any danger of hitting any trees or poles," so he was watching the other automobile. He gave as his reason for not seeing the telegraph pole before colliding with it that there
Page 116
were "curtains on the car and the biggest part of the windshield was coated with ice." In view of the poor visibility and the conditions of road and weather the jury were warranted in finding the defendant negligent in operating his automobile in the manner and at the speed shown by the record. Clark v. C. E. Fay Co. 281 Mass. 240, 243. Durling v. Lamontain, 277 Mass. 517. Arnold v. Colbert, 273 Mass. 161. Commonwealth v. Arone, 265 Mass. 128.
In the position in which the plaintiffs were, there was little that either could do for his own safety. Bullard v. Boston Elevated Railway, 226 Mass. 262, 264. Ouillette v. Sheerin, 297 Mass. 536, 540. A suggestion by one of them that the windshield be cleared of sleet was ignored by the defendant. The interval of time between the making of that suggestion and the driving of the automobile off the road was short. It could not have been ruled as matter of law that the defendant had sustained the burden of proving that negligence of the plaintiffs contributed to cause their injuries.
In each case the defendant's motion for a directed verdict was properly denied.
Exceptions overruled.

BRADENTON -- A Montreal real estate investment firm has jumped into a strip-center market that's heating up. The center is at the edge of Lakewood Ranch, purchasing Ranch Lake Plaza for $11.6 million.
Operating through a Tampa-based subsidiary, Colterra Capital bought the 10.6-acre center, 8712 State Road 70, on Oct. 24, just four months after the nearby River Club Plaza sold to an Orlando buyer for $7.35 million.
The center, which will soon be home to a Goodwill retail location, is anchored by a former Sweetbay grocery store. In all, Colterra acquires more than 85,000 square feet of retail space. A staff member with the management company that will operate the center for Colterra, RPM Realty Management of Tampa, said the center has a low number of vacancies, with four of the 18 retail slots empty.
Land records show that the center has more than 160,000 square feet of parking.

Goodwill Manasota is renovating the former Sweetbay. The nonprofit expects to open the approximately 40,000-square-foot store in a few months.
The seller in the transaction was Gemini Real Estate Ranch Lake LLC, a subsidiary of New York-based Gemini Real Estate Advisors. Manatee County records show the company purchased the strip center in 2004 for $15.5 million, two years after the first retail components of the
property were built.
Ranch Lake Plaza is Gemini's only real estate holding in Bradenton. Across Florida, the company owns four properties that are sites of LA Fitness clubs, according to its website. Colterra owns two other properties in Florida, according to its website. In 2013, it purchased the Terrace Oaks Plaza in Tampa for $5.4 million. It has also owned Tampa multifamily complex Swan Lake since 2011.

Appreciating Engineering Technology in the Office
Career Path : Engineering Technology
Nearly everything in a modern office can be traced back to engineering technology. From the fixtures to the management methods, to the networks and software programs, an engineer was involved.
Physical Objects
You probably donât think of engineers when you pick up the stapler or settle into your office chair at your desk, but the design role of the engineer is on display in pretty much every physical object. For example, the comfortable padding and adjustable seat height were all designed by one or several engineers working as a team. Plastic and metal objects owe their origins to engineering blueprints, and more elaborate objects were birthed in advanced visualization software called Computer Aided Design (CAD) programs. Everything, from pens to the receiver on your phone, was previously modeled by the designer in 3D, tested and assembled with engineering methods that made the best of materials.
The Air You Breathe
Okay, engineers donât make the oxygen, but if youâve ever experienced a stuffy or too cold office you know firsthand why heating, ventilation and air conditioning matter. Engineering technology protects employees from serious problems like sick building syndrome. As the name suggests, itâs more than proper maintenance on heating and cooling devices, but part of the holistic design of the entire structure.
A modern business would be lost without programs for word-processing, spreadsheets, email, bookkeeping and all the other normal functions of an office. You probably learned how to use them in your accounting and marketing courses, but did you know that many of the standard business utilities owe their existence to computer engineers? Â The fusion of electrical engineering and computer science, the engineerâs hands have been as busy writing code as designing the computers that run the programs.
Office Procedures
Believe it or not, many modern management practices owe their origin to the field of scientific management. Two centuries ago, as engineers looked to refine industrial processes for more efficiency, one engineer, by the name of Taylor, looked for the best practices in labour as well as the machines that are the normal focus of engineering. Not only did he examine the best range of motion to complete tasks quickly and with few mistakes, but he also looked into ways to hire the best worker for the job and to reduce worker fatigue. He argued for compensation that linked performance to pay, and advocated regular breaks. According to Taylor, these ideas were even applicably to administrators as well as to the factory line. His ideas worked and took the field of management by storm, so these days theyâre a regular part of the curriculum at a school of business. You can thank the engineer, Taylor, at your coffee break and your performance bonus.

Here at nerdbastards we love everything in nerd pop culture (obviously). So it makes sense that when someone mashes together two separate pop culture things to make something funny or in some cases better we go nuts over it. When we got wind of Worth 1000s Mate a Movie contest our brains exploded. Ok, ok I know the obvious joke here is "your brain can't explode if you don't have a brain". Hahaha, now that we got that joke out of the way can we move on? Alright then. So Worth 1000 is known for its photoshop contests.

With a beautiful doodle on Romanian homepage Google marked birthday of Emil Racoviță. Racoviță was a explorer and biologist from Romania. It's Racoviță's 145th birthday celebrated by this doodle.
Racoviță is mentioned to be the first ever biologist in the world exploring arctic life. Racoviță spend one full year in Antarctica for researches. In the Google Doodle for this biologist, scientist, scholar and a speleologist you can see his image inside letter O in the Google logo. In background of the logo a deep blue ocean is pictured with sharks and ice bergs floating around.
Born on 15 November 1868, Racoviță after education became a professor. In 1896 he got his PhD. Racoviță was an enthusiastic young scientist and interested in exploring new things. This made Racoviță become member of research team for Antarctic Exploration. This journey of one year is the most notable in life of Emil Racoviță.
In ship Belgica, leading by Adrien de Gerlache, a Belgian officer , Antartic expedition started on 1896. Team for expedition was international team. Emil Racoviță and other crew members faced lot of challenges in their journey.
Undergoing through worst atmospheric condition team succeeded in collecting data on ocean current, terrestrial magnetism and also done meteorological recordings for Antartica every day for a year in the interval of one hour.
Among the hardship faced by team, most serious one occurred in 1898 March 10. Belgica ship was caught between icebergs making the forward journey impossible. Crew carved 75 meter long canal through meter thick ice layers and continued journey. Emil Racoviță , after completing expedition successfully returned in 1899.
Emil Racoviță is regarded to be the first person to collect zoological and botanical samples other than Antarctic circle. His research diary and research result published in 1899 and 1900 respectively. Diary of Emil Racoviță included about the details of journey and challenges they faced.
Racoviță continued his research after this for many years. He explored more than 1400 caves and collected information. Racoviță was honored with many awards and honors during his life time and also posthumously. Romanian first Antarctic Expedition station in named to Law-Racoviță in his honor.
Racoviță died on 1947 November 17.

The Husker baseball team overcame a 10-0 deficit yesterday to rally for an 11-10 win over North Dakota, a team that came into Lincoln with a 1-12 record. The Huskers hit four home runs in the game.
Adam Bailey who homered earlier in the game doubled in the tying run in the bottom of the ninth, scoring Khiry Cooper and then, Tyler Farst who left five runners stranded earlier in the game, singled in the game winner for NU's biggest comeback in the last 10 seasons.
Reliever Chase Adams was the winner as he went 5.2 innings holding North Dakota off the board after they jumped to their 10 run lead in the first three innings. Adams struck out four and didn't allow a runner to reach scoring position over the final four innings.
The Huskers used the long balll to get back into the game. In addition to Bailey's ninth homer of the season, NU got a two-run shot by pinch hitter Cade Thompson and an eighth-inning grand slam from Cody Asche to pull the Huskers within 10-9. Chad Christensen also homered and drove in two runs, as NU totaled 13 hits on the night.
Game two of the series is this afternoon.

Why oh why would the Premier League's second-longest serving manager give up his job in charge of the Geordie nation's beloved club – complete with its 52,000-capacity sell-outs in its sparkling citadel perched proudly above the city – for a much smaller, unfashionable outfit on the fringes of south London?
Put like that, why indeed? But there was much more behind Pardew's eventual defection than comparing stadia size and season ticket sales. As soon as Warnock was sacked after Palace's defeat against Southampton on Boxing Day, the game was up. Chairman Steve Parish wanted Pardew and Pardew wanted out.
But why? Well, dear reader, I can enlighten you. Rewind to early October and I was having a spot of lunch in Soho with a good friend and mutual pal of Pardew when the smooth grey fox walked in and joined us. He looked remarkably chipper for a bloke at the centre of a campaign by his own fans to have him fired. Some Toon fans even set up a website – Sackpardew.com – but he had just had a break.
His team had snatched an unlikely 2-2 draw at Swansea from the jaws of defeat, having trailed 2-0.
I congratulated him on the point and also for the finishing of striker Papiss Cisse who had claimed both Newcastle goals. That got Pardew talking about his lot on Tyneside.
Yes, one goal in particular was well taken, but Pardew had reservations. He had wanted to sign French striker Bafetimbi Gomis in the summer but had missed out to Swansea who bagged him on a free transfer. When Pardew led his team into the Liberty Stadium for that game, Gomis was there to remind him, taking his place on the Swans bench.
"How can it be that Swansea, with crowds of 26,000, can outbid us on Gomis's terms?" he queried, "I can't get my head around that."
There was more. Pardew wanted to sign the big Belgian defender Toby Alderweireld from Spanish champions Atletico Madrid. Lightning struck twice as the summer window closed with Alderweireld choosing to join Southampton on loan ahead of Newcastle.
Personal terms again were the crucial factor, not a fee. The player visited both Tyneside and the south coast and Pardew was snubbed again.
Big club Newcastle? Pardew could only wonder. As the Toon Army held up their "Sack Pardew" placards through the bleak autumn, the seeds were sown for his split from Mike Ashley's cost-conscious regime.
When Parish made his move to buy out Pardew's Newcastle contract in the dying days of 2014, Pardew could see something much bigger than a 52,000 St James' Park sell-out.
He could see the club where he enjoyed himself as a player; as a celebrated cup finalist. And he could see the chance of a little bit of warmth from fans and employers who wanted to share his vision and football beliefs.
Biggest, clearly, is not always best.

Here we are in a time when a new century holds all that gets to be named "current"! I remember being in elementary school and them telling us that there would be flying cars and all kinds of futuristic stuff by the time the new millennium rolled around. Flying cars mostly. Well, we do have loads of futuristic stuff that we couldn't really conceive of as children, but it's not quite what they told us it would be.
That said, I spent most of today editing digital images. Yes, digital. Bear in mind that I started in photography wwwaaayyy back in the day. No really, way back when FILM was what you shot with and didn't know what you had until you got your roll(s) developed and had prints and negatives to look at. My instructors then told us that if you had two good images from a roll of 36 exposures, you were doing well. TWO???!!! That could get seriously expensive! Not to mention the many clothes I ruined in the darkroom from renegade splashes of developer, fixer, whatever. AND my (then) wedding ring. No...we didn't wear aprons or gloves for protection. Now we know better of course. Mostly.
So, back to digital images... I've been submitting my photography here and there and with the help of a Creative Consultant and a Design Consultant, have managed to get representation from a gallery in NEW YORK! In the CHELSEA DISTRICT! Can you say EXCITED!!! Sorry for all the caps and exclamation marks. I couldn't help it. So, I submitted 16 digital images to the gallery via the internet and now I'm freaking out a little. Well, more than a little. Ok, A LOT! I even had to do a new headshot. No easy feat since I abhor having my picture taken, but I have a great friend (thanks Monica!) who did a phenomenal job. Ironic, right?
I'm getting to show my "real" work in New York to people who might judge my work, judge me, and tell me I'm a fraud. How have I turned into a neurotic artist?
I shoot lots of things - wildlife in particular, comes to mind - but my love and passion is abstract botanicals. Yep - I said it. Abstract. Botanicals. What the hell does THAT mean you might ask. Or not. But either way, I'm totally taken in by light, shadow, lines, texture and soft or vibrant colors. Especially in flowers and plants. I love my macro lens and my 300mm telephoto. If I didn't have to work, I'd be off somewhere different on the planet every day. My boys think I'm crazy, but I think I've earned it. I raised my family first and pursued my passion later. I have these grey hairs for a reason and (mostly) wear them proudly!
So I'm going to show you some of the submitted images, but you are not allowed to judge. My Mom used to say, "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." You wouldn't want to bruise my fragile psyche, would you?
Until next time...

Getting Started Guide: Estimating Variables
The support function Estimate allows the user to guess a value required to initially solve a closed loop steam system, and have it automatically replaced later on when a calculated result becomes available. A common example is the inlet mass flow to the deaerator from the bottom steam header (see the Tutorial step here). This is required in order to solve the mass balance across the bottom header, in order to solve up the sheet. Once the deaerator has been solved (by completing the boiler loop), this value can then be replaced by the calculated result.
A secondary feature of the Estimate function is the ability to automatically catch errors propagating through the sheet by using the estimated value if the actual value contains an error. This includes all default Excel errors such as #VALUE!, #NUM!, #NAME!, #N/A, etc.
