Manning to be on sidelines against Chiefs, but patient about full recovery
Two weeks hanging high above the gridiron and his fellow teammates, Indianapolis Colts' quarterback Peyton Manning couldn't take it anymore. Not the fact he wasn't helping out his team from competing to a defeated 0-4 record, but as he joked, hearing all comments the armchair quarterbacks holding the microphones in front of him.
"I got a bad feeling being that close to all of you in the press box," said Manning jokingly to the media. "I could hear you second-guessing every call while you are writing your stories. So I just have to get out of here."
Manning's neck maybe hurt but his sense of humor is still intact, and Thursday afternoon he announced he's taking the next step towards a healthy recovery on the field. It maybe a little step, but Manning will be standing on the sidelines with his teammates in Sunday's contest against the Kansas City Chiefs for the first time since the Colts' 17-13 victory over the Bengals on September 1st in the final game of the preseason.
When told this would be the big news of the week, Manning just shook his head.
"It's really exciting isn't it, it is quite unbelievable."
But though positive signs are showing for number-eighteen, he will be the first to point out these are just slow steps towards a full, healthy recovery. But that isn't limiting his feelings to just how badly he wants to help the team win.
"They do an X-Ray on that fusion to sort of see how things are going," said Manning.
"So I got a good check-up on that, and I have always wanted to just get down there. I still am pretty limited on how much I can help. But my philosophy with Kerry, Curtis, or whoever is playing is that they have to come to me to call me. They have a lot of people in their ears between Coach Caldwell, Clyde, and Turner, and I think you have to understand that Ron Turner has to coach them a little differently then me. Telling me different ways to read things, and I don't want to interfere with that, so I'm going to try to be down there just as a resource to somehow get a win come Sunday."
A joyful Peyton wouldn't even scratch the barrier of the details about how his rehabilitation is coming along, rather just playing the fine line of admitting that he is doing a little bit more than he could before.
"I'm feeling good and that is a tough question to answer," said Manning with a broad smile. "But if you tell people that you are feeling good now, that means in two weeks that you should be feeling great and playing. But I have to be careful to not lead anybody on, but I'm in good spirits and have a good attitude."
Though this is one of the few times in which you will have seen Manning, or many of the Colts players at that matter, smiling about an occurrence during this home season. The Colts lost 24-17 in Tampa Bay this past Monday night, despite Manning's second back-up Curtis Painter throwing for two touchdowns and 281 yards. The losses seem to be weighing on his mind a bit, but he hopes that doesn't mean people will read that into as if he is feeling down about his recovery.
"I really get tired of people trying to read my body language and moods," said Manning. "I don't know how you can even do that. I would like to think that everybody is sort of down around here, because we are 0-4. I feel a little down about that a little bit."
A decision about his future for the remainder of the season has not been decided yet, but the four-time Most Valuable Player is still looking as if the glass if half-full rather than half-empty. Until Manning's team of doctors inform him that his 2011 season is officially over, or until he is told by Bill Polian that he will be placed on injury reserved, his ultimate goal is to be throwing passes in NFL games by the end of the year.
"You have to have hope until the doctors rule you out," said Manning. "Bill and Chris are in charge of the roster, and they are having a lot of injuries. If they come and say they have to make a move, I can not fight them on that. I will not fight them on what is best for the team. But until the doctors say differently, it is all that I know what to do."
Manning made sure to thank his fans for the multiple prayers, letters, and support that he is getting, and thought it was too early to rule the Colts out of a potential makeshift comeback to revitalize the 2011 season even without him. But that is as far he would go to making any comments about the current play on the field. Manning stated that he hates when injured players make statements about what is taking place on the field without them, and chose to detour questions about the current play of Curtis Painter.
However Manning would make the statement that the offense doesn't look much different scheme-wise from the view in the press box than what it does when he is under the helm. Though it took him a moment to say it.
"I think," said Manning with a pause to collect his thoughts. "I think it looks somewhat normal as far as the plays that we are running. I think that it will grow throughout the season as each week goes by. So like I said, we have a pretty basic football one-on-one. We have to find a way to protect the ball, we still are working on that. We are still eliminating those penalties, and still working on the same core principles that Coach Caldwell has preached that has been our core philosophies."
But Manning, who seems to be more patient about his recovery than the fans, media, and organization, knows he still has a long way to go. But until then, he plans to make the most of his situation.
"I'm trying to use that time that I have effectively to grow. Like I said, I have had a good attitude and I think it's a test. I hope I pass, and I feel like until I get back out there it is a test. But I think I am doing alright so far."Copyright © 2014, Hartford Courant

HAMILTON, MI (WHTC) - The joy of a decade ago has turned to grief for a Hamilton family.
Amy and Ben Van Houten became celebrities when she gave birth in January of 2004 to Michigan's first surviving set of sextuplets, and although their fame faded away as the children grew, they were still leaders in their community, especially at Calvary Baptist Church in Holland, where Ben Van Houten served as a deacon. On Wednesday evening, after he had set up a trampoline for the now seven youngsters in the backyard of their home, Ben Van Houten collapsed and died of an apparent heart attack at the age of 39.
Funeral arrangements through Dykstra Life Story Funeral Homes were still incomplete as this day began, although a Monday service is planned.

Hater: a word that can describe a myriad of people in Generation-Y. According to Urban Dictionary, a hater is someone who cannot find happiness for another person's success. Haters are some of the most annoying people, as they always find a flaw in something positive.
It is time we realized that hatred is a weak emotion and that we shouldn't concentrate so much of our energy to hate on someone. It is truly pathetic to be considered a hater. Just because you couldn't do something that someone else successfully did, you have no right to hate on them. Just try harder next time.
There is no reason for anyone to hate, if you are insecure about yourself, then you should keep it to yourself. Just know there's a fine line between a critic and a hater. Here are the 10 signs you are a hater.
You go out of your way to dig up information on other people.
If you go out of your way to research a person's personal life aside from any social media networks, then you, my friend, are trying way too hard. You are already wasting too much energy trying to dig up dirt just to uplift your spirits. A hater likes to bask in the flaws of others just to quell his own insecurities.
You haven't had to deal with the stress that comes with being successful.
If you don't earn as much as the person you are hating on, then you just need to stop. Why are you wasting your time hating when you should be grinding? If you have time to hate, then you have time to put your God-given skills to work and earn yourself a living. It's no one else's fault but your own if you choose to devote your efforts to something that isn't productive. No one makes a living off hating.
You rarely have anything positive or constructive to say about anyone.
There is a difference between constructive criticism and hating. A hater will never give constructive criticism because it is a way of making someone else better. The only reason haters would ever point out your flaws is because they want the other person to feel doubtful about what they are doing. That is why you should never let the comments of haters get to you because all they really want to do is bring you down to their level.
You're more concerned about someone else's success than your own.
Showing more concern for another person's success than your own proves that you're a hater. There is no other way to put it. Why would you be spending so much effort worrying about what someone else is doing just because you couldn't do the same. Haters usually want to be in the position of the person they are hating on.
You don't listen to Kanye.
This is simple, if you don't like Kanye, then you're just a hater. This man is a genius and his music is here to stay. If you say that you don't enjoy Kanye's music in the club and you're one of those people who folds your arms and stands still when a Kanye song comes on, then there is no hope for you. Look yourself in the mirror and yell 'STOP HATING.'
You're not willing to adapt with the times.
'Oh yeah I like 90s music because it's way better than the garbage they play now.' If you ever uttered these words, then you just think you're too cool for everyone. You're just trying way too hard to be different. Enjoy yourself in the present, don't be one of those haters that think they know more than everyone because they think this era isn't good enough for them. There is a reason why you were born in this era, so act like it.
You intentionally look for the negative details to discredit everyone's story.
If out of a whole conversation, you pay attention to the few negative details and decide to highlight those details over the other ones, then you're a hater. There is no way you should be spending that much energy to concentrate on people's mishaps. It's not cool and you should learn to give credit where credit is due.
You immediately discredit someone's idea without really giving it a shot.
Everyone has a dream and an ideal image of success. Shooting down people's dreams is a major red flag and it shows that you are a hater. What kind of person doesn't want to see others achieve their dreams? You should probably spend less time looking at the flaws in someone else's goals and go out there and find a goal of your own to achieve.
You never find happiness in other people's success.
It is hard to be happy for someone who may have screwed you over to achieve a successful status and this is understandable. However if no one has negatively impacted your life and yet you still attempt to discredit their success, then you seriously need to stop hating. Why would you loathe someone who achieved something you couldn't. Look up to them and figure out a way to do it for yourself.
You find extreme joy in exposing other people's flaws.
These are the worst type of haters, as they are highly insecure, yet they always try to pick themselves up by putting others down. If pointing out other people's mishaps gives you pleasure, then you really need to reevaluate your life. This type of person usually is a loner and it's for a reason — no one wants to be around someone who finds revels in the trials and tribulations of others.
The moral of the story, if any of these points apply to you, take a seat and figure out a way to change the course of your life. No one wants to be known as a hater.

Christina Aguilera and Ariana Grande have been added to what is already a bumper crop of performers at Sunday's (November 24) American Music Awards at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. They join other A-Listers Rihanna, Justin Timberlake, Katy Perry, Ke$ha and Lady Gaga.
A Great Big World will join Xtina on stage to belt out their current hit single "Say Something". There's no word on Ariana's performance yet but it's highly likely she will tackle "Right There" (with or without Big Sean) or a seasonal song like "Last Christmas". Whatever she settles on, the addition of these two ladies to the bill is a wise move indeed.
Who are you most excited to see perform? Let us know in the comments below.

In this section you'll learn the conventions used for writing sounds beyond the basic 46. Add to that a couple spelling rules and you'll be able to read and write any Japanese word in Hiragana. You'll find a complete chart including everything on this page under the Hiragana and Katakana resources.
From there we'll talk about romanization schemes, including the popular Hepburn romanization system. The Beginning Lessons include both Hiragana and Romaji, so you'll be able to get started on grammar and such while you're still mastering Hiragana. In this case, you might want to read A Guide to Japanese Pronuncation first.
Recommended background:
Hiragana and the Japanese Sound System, Part 1
Voiced Sounds (Daku-on)
Daku-on ("muddy sounds"), are the voiced equivalents of Kana starting with a voiceless consonant.
If you aren't familiar with the concept of voiced and voiceless consonants, put your fingers over your vocal cords and make a 'k', 's', or 't' sound. Now do the same for 'g', 'z', or 'd'. The sounds in the second set are the voiced equivalents of those in the first. This gives us the 'ga', 'za', and 'da' gyou. Many other consonants exist only in voiced or unvoiced form, but not both.
Japanese also has one set of handaku-on ("half-muddy sounds"), the 'pa' gyou. Although phonetically 'b' is the voiced equivalent of 'p', for historical reasons both are related to 'h' (which doesn't really have a voiced equivalent), so 'p' becomes "half-voiced" with 'b' being voiced. Voiced sounds are marked with the dakuten ( ゛), also known informally as tenten. Half-voiced sounds are marked with the handakuten ( ゜), also called maru (circle).
We now have five new columns:
|ぱ pa
|ば ba
|だ da
|ざ za
|が ga
|ぴ pi
|び bi
|(ぢ *ji)
|じ *ji
|ぎ gi
|ぷ pu
|ぶ bu
|(づ *zu)
|ず zu
|ぐ gu
|ぺ pe
|べ be
|で de
|ぜ ze
|げ ge
|ぽ po
|ぼ bo
|ど do
|ぞ zo
|ご go
Here too, there are several inconsistencies. Phonetically, 'ji' should be the voiced version of 'chi', but in fact じ in the 'za' gyou has this pronunciation as well. (Not many languages have the real voiced version of 'sh', but English and French do – it's the 'z' in "azure".) In the middle of words the pronunciation of the 'j' sound can become closer to 'z' in some dialects.
ぢ and づ in the 'da' gyou are pronounced identically to their neighbors じ and ず in modern standard Japanese, and are now seldom used, having been replaced by their 'za' gyou counterparts in most words. Where づ is used, its pronunciation is sometimes closer to 'dzu', which makes sense since it's technically the voiced version of 'tsu'.
For all practical purposes, there is one place where you are likely to see ぢ and づ: the start of the seond part of a compound word.
ex. はな (hana) "nose" + ち (chi) "blood" -> はなぢ (hanaji) "nosebleed"
This phenonemon where the first consonant of a compound word becomes voiced is called randaku, and in the case of 'chi' -> 'ji' and 'tsu' -> 'du', the same base kana is kept.
Combination Syllables (You-on)
As you learned in Part 1, the combination [consonant + 'y' + vowel] also makes a valid mora in Japanese. To write these in Hiragana, take any character from the 'i' dan (including the daku-on and handaku-on) and add a small 'ya', 'yu', or 'yo' to make one of the you-on ("contracted sounds").
|りゃ rya
|みゃ mya
|ぴゃ pya
|びゃ bya
|ひゃ hya
|にゃ nya
|(ぢゃ *ja)
|ちゃ *cha
|じゃ *ja
|しゃ *sha
|ぎゃ gya
|きゃ kya
|りゅ ryu
|みゅ myu
|ぴゅ pyu
|びゅ byu
|ひゅ hyu
|にゅ nyu
|(ぢゅ *ju)
|ちゅ *chu
|じゅ *ju
|しゅ *shu
|ぎゅ gyu
|きゅ kyu
|りょ ryo
|みょ myo
|ぴょ pyo
|びょ byo
|ひょ hyo
|にょ nyo
|(ぢょ *jo)
|ちょ *cho
|じょ *jo
|しょ *sho
|ぎょ gyo
|きょ kyo
The semi-vowel 'y' is very close to the vowel 'i', so it seems reasonable that one should be deleted.
As you might expect by this point, し, じ, ち, and ぢ yield slightly different results. This makes sense when you consider that the semi-vowel 'y' we're adding is a palatal glide, but these four Kana are already palatalized, so the 'y' is basically redundant. In other words, whenever you want to say "shya", you drop the 'y'.
ぢゃ, ぢゅ, and ぢょ are not used in modern Japanese, since their pronunciation would be identical to じゃ, じゅ, and じょ, but I've included them for completeness.
Doubled Vowels (Chou-on)
Chou-on, literally "long sounds", are made by adding a second vowel to the Kana to be doubled. This is the first place you'll need to remember a couple of true inconsistencies of spelling.
|[あ dan] + あ
|[い dan] + い
|[う dan ] + う
|[え dan] + い / え
|nei, nee
|[お dan] + う / お
|ou, oo
The only words using the spelling "ee" and "oo" you'll encounter any time soon are "oneesan" (older sister) and "ookii" (big). Otherwise the long 'e' and long 'o' will be spelled as 'ei' and 'ou' respectively.
However, not every sequence of '[C]ei' and '[C]ou' you'll encounter is actually a you-on. Whenever a compound word is made with one component ending in an 'e' dan Kana is directly followed by an 'i', the two vowels are pronounced distinctly. The same rule applies for 'o' and 'u'. Fortunately, in practice these two possibilities turn out to be easy to distinguish, for reasons that you'll understand as you start to learn Kanji.
Anyway, the same rules apply for the you-on.
|[い dan] + ゃ + あ
|[い dan] + ゅ + う
|[い dan] + ょ + う
Curiously, while just about any combination "[C]you" is used in an actual word, I can't think of any words with the spelling "[C]yoo".
Doubled Consonants (Soku-On)
Finally, we have the soku-on ("assimilated sounds"), which is marked by a small 'tsu', っ, and represents what is often called a "doubled consonant", though this is not quite accurate. In the case of a stop consonant (k, t, ch, ts, p), the mouth takes the shape of the following consonant, but waits for one mora before pronouncing it. For other consonants (s, sh), the consonant sound is extended into the added mora.
|っぱ ppa
|った tta
|っさ ssa
|っか kka
|っぴ ppi
|*っち tchi
|っし sshi
|っき kki
|っぷ ppu
|っつ ttsu
|っす ssu
|っく kku
|っぺ ppe
|って tte
|っせ sse
|っけ kke
|っぽ ppo
|っと tto
|っそ sso
|っこ kko
*In the case of the doubled 'chi', 'tchi' is used in the Hepburn romanization system as discussed below, while 'cchi' or 'tti' (but annoyingly, not 'tchi') are used for computer input, which will be discussed in another article.
Voiced sounds are never preceded by a soku-on in native Japanese words, but the consonants of unvoiced combination syllables can be (ex. kasshu "singer").
It's also not unusual to find both soku-on and long vowels in the same word, for example gakkou "school, pronounced ga-k-ko-o. An extended 'n' sound is written with the moraic nasal (ん) rather than a soku-on (っ).
Spelling Rules
So far we've come across a few places where the high level pattern breaks down, but few real spelling inconsistencies (i.e., し is always 'shi', not 'si', こう is always 'koo', not 'kou'). In the case of the two possible spelling for 'ji' (じ・ぢ) and 'zu' (ず・づ), I'll always alert you to when the less common spelling is used, and as you'll see, even this is predictable.
The only other notable spelling rules for Hiragana are each for a single particle, or grammar word. Here they are:
|は (ha)
|marks the topic of a sentence
|へ (he)
|marks the direction of movement
|を (wo)
|marks the object of a verb
These spellings are a remnant of classical Japanese that was retained despite the post-war spelling reform. The use of the Hiragana 'wo', though, is useful because it distinguishes the particle 'o' (を) from the polite prefix 'o' (お). There are several dozen particles in Japanese, and you'll start learning the most important ones soon enough.
Languages that don't use the Latin alphabet often have multiple romanization schemes, each of which will have various advantages and disadvantages. The most common Japanese romanization system in the English speaking world is the modified Hepburn romanization system, which allows English speakers to pronounce most words more accurately than with the Kunrei-shiki system, which more closely approximates Kana and is used more often by Japanese people in Japan.
The consonant spellings I've used here basically agree with most variants of the Hepburn system. The main difference is that while the Hepburn system uses macrons (lines) over long vowels other than 'ii' and 'ei', I have no way to produce these, so instead I've been spelling all long vowels as written in Hiragana, a style known as wapuro romaji (wapuro meaning "word processor").
Remember how I've been writing "gyou" instead of "gyoo"? Some books always use 'ee' and 'oo' for long 'e' and 'o', but this makes it impossible to know what the Hiragana spelling is. With words like Tokyo (とうきょう / Toukyou) that have been assimilated into English, the long vowels may be dropped altogether in non-language-learning contexts.
One place where romanization can be ambiguous is with the moraic 'n' (which in modified Hepburn is never written as 'm'). To understand this, consider the sequence "kinen". The first 'n' might go with the following 'e', giving きねん (ki-ne-n) "commemoration", or it might be the moraic nasal, giving きんえん (ki-n-e-n) "no smoking".
To differentiate the two, when the moraic nasal is followed by a vowel or a 'y', we write an apostrophe in between. So, きねん is "kinen" and きんえん is "kin'en". This also allows us to differentiate chou-on like にゃ (nya) from sequences like んや (n'ya).
What Next?
By learning Hiragana you've completed you first major step towards speaking and writing Japanese. A few remaining issues in pronunciation will be covered in the next lesson:

Dangerous Goods
Dangerous goods are articles or substances which are capable of posing a risk to health, safety, property or the environment.
The Operations and Airworthiness Section is responsible for the approval and ongoing surveillance of compliance by airlines and organisations involved in the carriage of dangerous goods by air.
The transport of dangerous goods by air is regulated according the Regulation No. 6/2011 on Transportation on Dangerous Goods by Air, ICAO Annex 18 as well as the ICAO Doc. 9284 - Technical Instruction for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air.
The successful implementation of regulations concerning safe transport of dangerous goods by air and their objectives are greatly dependent on the appreciation by all individuals concerned of the risks involved and on a detailed understanding of the Regulations. This can only be achieved by properly planned and maintained initial and recurrent training programs for all persons concerned in the transport of dangerous goods.
It is the responsibility of operators for ensuring that the initial and recurrent training programmes are established, maintained and approved by CAA meeting the minimum training requirements of the Technical Publication (TP-17) on Approval of Dangerous Goods Training Programmes.
Initial and recurrent training programmes must be established and maintained by or on behalf of:
• shippers of dangerous goods, including packers and persons or organisations undertaking the responsibilities of the shipper;operators;
• ground handling agencies which perform, on behalf of the operator, the act of accepting, handling, loading, unloading, transferring or other processing of cargo;
• ground handling agencies located at an airport which perform, on behalf of the operator, the act of processing passengers;
• agencies, not located at an airport, which perform, on behalf of the operator, the act of checking in passengers;
• freight forwarders; and
• agencies engaged in the security screening of passengers and their baggage,
covering the dangerous goods element of their responsibilities to ensure they can meet the requirements of Regulation No. 6/2011 on Transportation of Dangerous Goods by Air.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Oil giant BP has agreed to pay $13 million to settle charges of failing to fix safety violations at its Texas City oil refinery after a 2005 explosion killed 15 workers.
The payment is the latest move toward resolving hundreds of violations at the plant alleged by the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
BP paid $50 million in 2010 to settle some of the OSHA violations. The government had been seeking a total of $80 million in penalties, the largest fine in its history.
Resolving the fines could help BP in its effort to sell the Texas City refinery, which the nation's sixth largest.
Overall, the company has paid more than $2 billion to settle lawsuits and fines stemming from the 2005 explosion.

Occupy my ass, protesters.
Being on a college campus has never made me want to hit a stranger in the face more. Venice beach would be a close second. I'm so sick of stoners asking me to sign their legalize pot petition. And i think it's great that you want to get rid of water bottles on campus but I just want to crawl back into my bed as soon as possible with some hot cocoa and Arrested Development on Netflix. Just a couple of days ago, as I was on my way to BUSINESS 101, occupiers were trying to lure me to their table to talk about god knows what I can really only assume it would be our feelings or how fun it is never taking showers and just being all around disgusting hippies. Do they not understand that I am not on their side? I'M GOING TO BUSINESS 101 TO BECOME A PART OF THE 1% YOU IDIOT. It's a good thing those people have Burning Man or else I'm positive they would never get laid. I mean if you can't get some at the LSD middle of the desert naked party, let's be honest you're the definition of forever alone. Anyways, this was my hippies-annoy-me-because-they're-dirty-and-try-to-make-me-feel-like-a-monster-for-not-caring-about-their-precious-environment rant. Sorry I'm not sorry.
Noted. Shout out to all occupiers - please disengage. Repeat, do not engage this individual. Thank you.

The Hi-Tech One Button Barista:
KRUPS Espresseria Espresso Machine
Daily Tech Find
• $799.99
If you're a coffee drinker who appreciates the convenience and quickness of a pod-based system (like the Lattissima Plus Nespresso), but hope to step up in flavor with your own choice in beans, this hi-tech LCD screen equipped, fully automatic espresso machine might be your next level-up. Lets start off with an integrated conical burr grinder and hopper, which means those pricey whole beans you purchased won't get tainted by heat. Next, the whole system is controlled by LCD screen via easy to navigate twist-and-push knob, with instant notifications when you need to refill or clean the system...
The Espresseria is the easiest non-pod espresso machine I've used. After each brewing, the excess water produced with a serving discharges automatically to a drip tray; when it's full, the display informs to empty it out (alongside the used grounds container). Automatic rinsing, cleaning, and descaling programs all keep the system in tip-top between use, and so far, the only maintenance required is rinsing out the trays occasionally. It's a countertop computer of coffee brewing goodness.
Taste wise the Espresseria is still a few notches below my trusted Aeropress and the Espro Press, but is capable of producing a pleasantly satisfying espresso or long coffee when matched with appropriate beans (avoid oily beans). The automatic grind to brew to pour process retains/unveils many of the subtler nuances of fruitier roasts, while somewhat dampening down the darker, robust flavors without completely neutering it (I just dial the grinder setting to the highest for fuller flavor, and much prefer it now than the out-of-box middle setting). Those who like a little milky froth will like the frothing nozzle, which also operates as a hot water dispenser for tea preparation in our household.
Because of the combination of speed, convenience and overall taste, the one-button operation has made the Espresseria the work week rule while those manual methods are relegated as the lazy weekend exceptions when all I want a cup to sip upon throughout the day. Sure beats waiting in line at the local coffee bar!

not to pass judgement on this machine, but to give you another alternative to making your own espresso, i would recommend the Breville Double Boiler. I'd also wait for william sonoma to have a discount which would bring the price down enough to make it competitive to this machine's price.
i started off with the keurig...super easy and simple. never thought i would ever want an espresso machine. but as i got more into coffee, the more interested i got into the entire process of it. and if you're at that point, i think the breville is a better option. plus you feel more like a barista too (using the portafilter and steaming milk). :P
just my humble opinion. :)

After high school, Gilliard says, he went to Juilliard to continue his study of classical clarinet, expecting a career as a concert musician.
"The plan was to go Juilliard, graduate and then go across the street and play in the New York Philharmonic — that was the plan, anyway."
But he says that started to change when he "woke up one day" and felt like "he didn't want to practice" any more.
"And that's when you start to worry," he says. "Why did I not feel like practicing today? So I started wondering what was going on. And, basically, you feel like you're going insane. You're in one of the greatest arts schools in the world, and you're not wanting to participate. So I really started looking around."
Gilliard says he saw a pattern to his young life. While at the BSA, he went to all the plays that his classmates staged. And now he was doing the same at Juilliard.
"And I thought, 'Hmmmm, maybe there's something there that I need look into. And I went and took an acting class outside of Juilliard and found I had a passion. Yeah, and so I just jumped on that train — followed that path."
Gilliard has appeared in more than 30 feature films and made-for-TV movies, included John Waters' "Cecil B. Demented" and "Gangs of New York," since he started professionally in 1991. He's also appeared in such TV series as "Homicide: Life on the Street,' "Friday Night Lights" and "Army Wives."
But it is his work as D'Angelo in "The Wire" for which he is most widely known. His superb performance in Season 1 played a significant role in helping establish the series critically.
He cherishes the memories of being part of an outstanding ensemble that included Idris Elba, Dominic West, Wendell Pierce and so many other fine actors — even as he laughs about living at the home of his mother, Edith Gilliard Canty, while filming.
"I actually did, because she wouldn't have it any other way," he says. "You know, if I'm in Baltimore, I've got to be at home — in my old room."
He says it was "weird" that first season, because growing up, he had lived in "West Baltimore in the Franklin Square area very close to the Lexington Terrace projects where the Barksdales were operating" in "The Wire."
"I actually played football for the Lexington Terrace projects," Gilliard says. "It's really crazy that I came back and did that particular show."
At middle age, Gilliard seems very clear about the mentors and moments of passage in his life.
"The Baltimore School for the Arts changed my life, it really did," he says. "But before the School for the Arts, I was still living in West Baltimore and could have gone in another direction."
Along with his mother, he says, there were four strong male figures who helped guide him to the right path: his stepfather, Curtis Canty; a Franklin Square Boys Club director named Lonnie Fisher; and neighbors James Reeves and Frank Wheeler.
"What the School for the Arts taught me was a great work ethic," Gilliard says. "They showed me — not just taught me — that if you work hard, you can see the effects. They gave me that lesson, and I have used it at every stage of my life. And I am still using it now in my new role on 'The Walking Dead.' "
Watch it
Season 4 of "The Walking Dead" begins at 9 tonight on AMC

I've always imagined having an punk flyer museum online with thousands of different flyers. Tumblr seemed like an easier way to do this. I was going to post them on my main blog, but I realized they needed their own space, so here we are. I don't claim to own all these, but I do my best to blog only new pics. I'm not the type who needs credit, so if you see a flyer that's already posted, please contact me and I'll reblog the original. Also, if anyone has any original flyers you'd like to share or sell, please submit it here!

As we approach the third anniversary of Haiti's tragic earthquake this upcoming January, the Caribbean nation still faces much adversity on its path to recovery. To some it seems like a distant memory, while others commendably are dedicating themselves to keeping its needs on the national radar. One of those advocates is actress Olivia Wilde, teaming up with Alternative Apparel (an eco-friendly favorite) on a limited edition bag aptly titled the Message Bag.
While we typically see Olivia all gussied up on the red carpet, it is refreshing to see the leading lady in some rugged-chic gear for a good cause. As a loyal fan of the Atlanta-based brand and already having co-founded Campaign Happiness, she identified the opportunity to merge conscious commerce with her love for fashion with this convertible messenger-meets-rucksack in rich olive canvas and perfectly pebbled leather. Proceeds from your purchase go toward the construction of the Academy for Peace and Justice in Port-au-Prince, a school funded by Oscar-winning filmmaker Paul Haggis's charity, Artists for Peace and Justice. In the words of our go-to basics brand: This is not just a bag, it's an opportunity for an education.

could be..
however when he went off track in the last race the commentators did not mention how quickly he was closing on the riders in front he was flying, so I am not so sure.
I think their bike set up is eratic, like you say Brookes is raw, so Kiyo will not have a lot of help with settings from Brookes who was on the tracks last year, due to everything that went on last year, catching up, bad press, missed races etc, not the best rider for Kiyo to get help from, plus I cant imagine Brookes working well with other riders anyhow. He wont even admit when a championship winning rider is good!! Still like him as a rider though.
Kiyo will be on top form next season, but I agree it is a big ask this year to catch up all of these points and put in a challenge straight away.
Kagayama if this injury isnt too bad, he isnt on duty already because of it, will be quick enough if he stays next season, you can see he still has the speed, I dont think these incidents are an indication of his ability, but lets see how long his chances last even with his podiums at top level if this continues. For most riders they dont get many chances and success is soon forgot.

More thoughts
Regarding HM Plant Honda - I think Kiyo's head is down. He is a rider who has had his chance and the only place he is going after the UK national series is back home. He knows that and it shows in his riding.
Josh Brookes is still learning the bike. Thruxton is fast, but not as technical as some venues so he won there on talent and bravery. It can take an injury strewn several years to master a superbike - look at Easton as a good example of this.
We must also bear in mind that Tommy Hill's lead is only about 8 points on the new podium bonus scoring scheme. It seems a pity for him that the advantage he has built up will count for relatively little when the top six are chosen in August or whenever it is.
06 May 2010 12:21
Re Jason
Fair comment, you may be right. Guintoli isnt flying in WSBK either at the moment, but it may be settling in which is the issue. I think it is almost impossible, Spies maybe the exception, to switch series and be good first three tracks, Kagayama will struggle to adjust, what has happened so far doesnt help as it reduces track time.
I get the feeling Reynolds and Valentine know this is their best chance for years and are on the riders case, keeping him work minded too, they both look very serious at the moment, it has had a good effect on Hill that is for sure. He is impressive especially at Oulton. I think Valentine knows at anytime HM Plant could get it together and give them a tough time, both riders but especially Kiyo look very good, the set up hasnt looked good as they said. I cant see a challenge from anywhere else, good as Easton is he surely can only take the ocassional win.
The lead I think is bigger than camier's last year, it was about 78 points clear after the sixth track. Cant remember the third track difference.
Whats your thoughts on HM plant this year? Whats going on? Rea's bike is performing well enough, the Suzuki has the edge but the WSBK Honda is good enough to challenge.
All of the bike testing boys have been made fools of, raving about the Aprilia when the Suzuki and, BMW is starting to look, the class of the field, they never spoke about that happening.

Suzuki's on track advantage.
Tommy Hill was always mixing it with GSE last year when he got to ride either the Suzuki or the Hydrex Honda. If you took Hil out of the equation, the way that Kagayama is framing you would say that WORX Suzuki had lost their way.
I believe that I did predict Kagayama as being an expensive waste of time this year and he is doing nothing to prove me wrong. Granted last weeks off may not have been his fault (I was there and saw it in real time) but I'm sure he would have managed to crash on his own at Oulton in any case.
It's high time he called it a day whilst he can still walk.
Meanwhile Tommy Hill continues to better the times from last year.
I will admit that am surprised at just how well he is going this year - but the advantage you speak of is down to him as much as the bike.

Its all very well coming out if ifs and buts the reality is that Hills been the most consistently fastest/ finisher and I know that bugs you big time...especially as you was always on your soapbox last year saying he didn't deserve this ride and that and how he was`nt capable of finishing in the top 5...! and before we have another one of your sermons..NO,I`m not related to HIll..I just think any rider that lines up on a BSB grid is awesome...

Cannatella, who is most well known for starring in The Real World: Las Vegas, made the final table of the €500 Ladies Event.
The Louisiana-native entered the final table as one of the chip leaders but ended up finishing in fifth place for a relatively modest €2,991 score.
Russia's Irina Batorevich outlasted all 84 entrants to win the tournament for €12,902.
It was the second official final table appearance for Cannatella, who finished third in the 2010 WPT Celebrity Invitational for $20,000. She now has just over $30,000 in lifetime tournament earnings.
Interestingly Cannatella is currently in the process of filming a reality show called Living the Life with Survivor alumni Amanda Kimmel.
The series reportedly follows Kimmel and Cannatella as they compete at poker tournaments around the world. Both took part in the recent PokerStars European Poker Tour event in Barcelona.
According to Cannatella her next stop on the poker circuit will be the ladies event at EPT San Remo.
Here are the complete final table payouts for the €500 Ladies Event final table:
- 1. Irina Batorevich – €12,902
- 2. Aurelie Quelain – €7,974
- 3. Nathalie Perignon – €5,582

So you have been using jQuery and jQuery UI but you have a few custom JavaScript controls that don't work in the same way. The solution is to create a jQuery UI custom control so that you can use everything in a uniform way. The only problem is that you have to use the mysterious Widget Factory, which makes it seem more difficult than adding to basic jQuery.

The AutoGuide News Blog is your source for breaking stories from the auto industry. Delivering news immediately, the AutoGuide Blog is constantly updated with the latest information, photos and video from manufacturers, auto shows, the aftermarket and professional racing.
There are custom cars… and then there are custom classic cars. This 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air is by far one of the nicest resto-projects we've ever set our eyes on, blending classic Chevy styling with modern Chevy power. With an LS6 small-block Chevy engine under the hood that's been stroked to 383-ci, this '55 Bel Air packs 520-hp and 531 lb-ft of torque.
The vehicle's original body has been restored using a two-tone GM paint scheme with Arctic White and Light Tarnished Silver chosen to show off the classic's straight lines and tight panel gaps. The powerplant underneath the hood was built by Superior Automotive Engineering with an extremely high 11.54:1 compression ratio. Bolt-ons include Dominator Street Rods dual snorkel intake pipes, Ron Davis aluminum radiator, and a Street and Performance air filter. Inside the engine, Comp Cams' Extreme RPM High Lift camshaft provides plenty of extra horsepower while the Eagle forged steel crank turns Eagle connecting rods and push forged JE pistons. The port and polished heads have been completely rebuilt with Serdi valves, Comp Cams roller rockers, Comp Cams beehive springs and Comp Cams titanium retainers.
For chassis and suspension modifications, this Bel Air sports a Classic Performance Products front suspension which includes custom reinforced control arms, two-inch drop spindles, one-inch sway bar, Bilstein gas-charged shocks and a custom reinforced Borgeson 605 steering box. Classic Performance Products also supplied the four-wheel disc brakes that sit behind Schott's two-piece forged billet Velocity wheels wrapped with Nitto rubber.
Lastly, Elegance Interiors reupholstered four Lexus seats with high quality, two-tone leather. Asking price? $109,900 – not too shabby considering it only has 3,523-miles on the odometer.

It's time to celebrate Eli Manning
Manning's coolness in the clutch led the Giants to another Super Bowl win
INDIANAPOLIS -- By 1:34 a.m., Eli Manning had left the Giants' postgame party. He was still at the Marriott in downtown Indianapolis, but he was hosting his own bash in a separate room, just like he did the first time he won a Super Bowl and MVP trophy by leading his team to the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds against the Patriots. His was a more Manning-centric party, with different music, different food and different wristbands required for entry than the blue ones his teammates wore, which were labeled "Giants Postgame Party, Super Bowl XLVI, February 5, 2012."
But make no mistake: Manning was still very much present. In a second-floor ballroom titled "Seven," past a black-carpeted entryway with signs that read "After Hours Lounge," the Giants -- alongside a few hundred family and friends and fans, the vast majority wearing Eli's No. 10 jersey -- danced and toasted and posed for pictures holding their index fingers in the air. A band played under bright lights, and when the drummer introduced the beat to "Livin' On a Prayer" -- by the way, Gov. Chris Christie was right: The New York Giants are so Jersey -- twin screens replaying the Giants' 21-17 win over the Patriots showed what Manning called a "huge" play: when he dropped back and lofted a deep pass down the left sideline for Mario Manningham, who tap-danced to touch both feet down.
The ballroom blew up in cheers because everyone knew how the drive would end. A few hours earlier, Manning had lived the spoils of that moment. He exited Lucas Oil Field, picking confetti from his hair, flanked by security guards, pumping his fists in the air as fans chanted "Hall of Fa-mer!" in the same rhythm they once yelled, "O-ver-ra-ted!" He weaved his way through the tunnel, past his family, standing in the bowels of the stadium waiting for him. Dad Archie held one of his many grandchildren, 10-month-old Ava, the first child of Eli and wife Abby.
Abby nodded at her daughter after Eli passed and said, "Dada."
Dada was all anyone could talk about. Archie laughed as he told a story from earlier this week about when Eli bought steaks at St. Elmo's for 25 teammates -- on the same night Tom Brady dined there; Eli's just constantly in Tom Terrific's face, isn't he? -- and some of the guys gagged over the renowned spicy shrimp cocktail. A few feet away, older brother Cooper, clutching the game ball Eli tossed to him -- "Only catch I've had in 20 years," he joked -- was asked for his funniest Eli memory of this past week and was both proud and surprised that there was only one. "On Monday, I said, 'I'm not going to call you this week,'" Cooper said. "And Eli said, 'All right, good.'"
Classic Eli: Blunt, quick, leaving you to wonder whether he's joking. In the fourth quarter, offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride was discussing plays with Manning on the sideline when the quarterback blurted, "We can't run those plays. We don't have any more tight ends." He didn't smile or roll his eyes. He was nonchalantly matter-of-fact, as always, and Gilbride silently nodded, scanning the rest of his play card.
Unlike four years ago, when the upstart Giants ended the Patriots' perfect season, nobody was surprised that Eli -- and the Giants -- won. Sunday's game was mostly up in the air, but nobody ever considered that Manning was in over his head. He owns the Pats, and he owns Super Bowls, and the Mannings are used to January success. America's most dominant sports family has had a starting quarterback in four of the past six Super Bowls, with three rings and three MVPs.
Before Peyton Manning's first Super Bowl, Peyton called Brady for advice. Brady told him to rent a private room, win or lose, for family and friends to convene away from the masses. Peyton did it after he beat the Bears, and Eli did it after he beat the Pats in 2008 -- the win that justified the price the Giants paid for him -- singing "New York, New York" on a karaoke machine, putting an extra oomph on the line, "If I can make it there, I can make it anywhere!" Eli did the same this year. His party was on the first floor, blocked off by black curtains. Upstairs, where his teammates partied, where there were cookies frosted with the Giants logo and where Katy Perry strolled around, the boom from a Bon Jovi cover shook the floor. The frontwoman held the mike to the air and let the crowd howl:
You gotta hold on/Ready or not/You live for the fight when that's all that you've got
On the twin screens behind them, Manning was about to hand off to Ahmad Bradshaw for the winning touchdown. The ballroom was a mess of music and merriment, celebrating Eli as he celebrated his own way.

COMSTOCK PARK (WKZO) -- A taco made with a shell of bacon awaits baseball fans at West Michigan Whitecaps fans this year.
The Single-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers had their fans choose from a list of the top ten new food items through an online vote, with what's called the "Baco" getting 30-percent of the vote. Second place went to what they called "The Bad Joke," which is a corn dog covered in cheese, flanked with two strips of duck bacon and placed inside a bun.
The club will still serve it's now internationally-famous, five-thousand calorie Fifth-Third Burger, which was featured on Travel Channel's "Man v. Food" and weighs four pounds with five third-pound burger patties.

Parachute in Fly Magazine
It was mid December 2008, school was out and the five Virginia boys in Parachute were trying to think of a good way to ring in the New Year. Kegger? Pizza party? Rock show at the local bar?
Then the band's record label called up with what sounded like a winning idea. Two weeks later, the boys found themselves rolling into New York's Times Square to usher in 2009 along with ABC and a million of their newest friends.

myotis, say researchers.
The deadly infection known as white-nose syndrome, which affects
hibernating bats, was first discovered near Albany, N.Y. in 2006. A
fungus implicated in white-nose syndrome grows on the nose, ears
and forearms of hibernating bats and disrupts their hibernation,
causing them to awake early, behave strangely and lose vital fat
reserves, leading to death, according to a study from the
University of California at Santa Cruz (UCSC).
Lead author Winifred F. Frick of UCSC and her colleagues
analyzed bat population data gathered over the past 30 years from
22 caves and other hibernating sites in five northeastern states.
Compared with population counts before 2006, the decreases in the
number of bats counted at the sites since then range from 30
percent to 99 percent.
White-nose syndrome affects seven bat species but poses the
greatest threat to the little brown myotis, previously one of the
most common bat species in North America. If the current trend
continues, there's "a 99 percent chance of regional extinction of
little brown myotis within the next 16 years," the researchers
The study findings are published in the Aug. 6 issue of the
Researchers and conservation experts are working hard to find a
solution to this serious problem, said Frick in a UCSC news
release. "Bats perform valuable ecosystem services that matter for
both the environments they live in and have tangible benefits to
humans as well. Bats affected by this disease are all insect-eating
species, and an individual bat can consume their body weight in
insects every night, including some consumption of pest insects,"
she explained.
"The loss of so many bats is basically a terrible experiment in how much these animals matter for insect control," she added.
