Jerry Seinfeld
Larry David reunited the cast of "Seinfeld" for an episode of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" -- and he tells "Extra" that the show will touch on Michael Richards' comedy club blowup.
"He wanted to," David explained when asked if Richards felt comfortable addressing the drama onscreen. "He made a terrible mistake." David added that Richards deserves a second chance after being shunned in Tinseltown the past three years.
The show's star, Jerry Seinfeld, tells "Extra" that he believes that the reunion episodes will please fans. "It's a very good show. I think the audience will like it."
"Curb Your Enthusiam" premieres Sunday night on HBO.
Jerry, Elaine, Kramer and George are back -- and "Extra" has behind-the-scenes footage of the gang's reunion on "Curb Your Enthusiasm."
The gang of "Seinfeld" is reuniting for the first time since the show went off the air, and yada, yada, yada... "Extra" has some little-known tidbits about the hilarious cast and show!
The gang of "Seinfeld" is reuniting for the first time since the show went off the air, and yada, yada, yada... "Extra" has some little-known tidbits about the hilarious cast and show!
The famous foursome is returning to TV! Everyone is anxiously awaiting the "Seinfeld" reunion on "Curb Your Enthusiasm" next month. Jerry Seinfeld, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander and Michael Richards laugh it up on the cover of Entertainment Weekly with "Seinfeld" creator Larry David.
David dished to "Extra" about the big reunion, "They're not in every show. They will be in five episodes in the season." The quirky TV star adds, "I really think people are going to get a kick out of it."
Season 7 of "Curb" debuts September 20 on HBO.
"Extra" caught up with Julia Louis-Dreyfus at the WB fall lineup party, and we couldn't help but ask about the highly-anticipated "Seinfeld" reunion on "Curb Your Enthusiasm"!
Julia tells "Extra," "We've done it. We shot it. It's in the can, baby! They are editing it as we speak."
It's been over a decade since the gang worked together, so who was the biggest diva on set? Julia tells all in this clip!
"Extra's" Mario Lopez loves "The Junior Mint" episode of "Seinfeld" when Jerry and Kramer accidentally drop the candy into a patient's body during surgery. Oops!
"Extra" wants to know -- What's your favorite "Seinfeld" moment? Is it "The Soup Nazi" or the origination of "Yadda Yadda Yadda?" Leave your fave below!
After 11 years, it's about time! "Seinfeld" creator Larry David says he wrote a reunion into the upcoming season of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" for the cast of the memorable sitcom.
David told the reporters at the TCA Press Tour in Pasadena, "I called Jerry, and Jerry was game." He says he worked closely with Seinfeld on the "show-within-a-show" script and that the cast will appear in five "Curb" episodes in a storyline about the cast reuniting.
"You're not going to see the whole show but then you'll going to see the cast as themselves in a 'Curb' episode with 'Curb' stories, so it's this strange kind of blending of the two shows," David tells "Extra." He adds, "You get two for one."
Jerry Seinfeld, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander and Michael Richards haven't appeared together on screen since the "Seinfeld" series finale in 1998.
"Curb Your Enthusiasm" returns to HBO on Sept. 20.
"Extra" wants to know -- What's your favorite "Seinfeld" moment?

My choice
I met Pro Kennex racquets because some friends told me that improved the symptoms of tennis elbow after changing their rackets for model 15g kinect Pro Kennex. I decided to use the model 7g and am amazed at the results. this model complies with what I read about it: excellent control, power and improved my tennis elbow! recommend for those looking for a racket with these characteristics.
Excelent for Elbow problems
Before I started to use this racquet my elbow sore was daily, even I couldn't grasp a glass of water. Once I started using this racquet my elbow sore vanished. I play tennis 5 days/week and using this racquet and 2 equals for almost 6 yrs. The weight of the racquet it's well balanced in the midle. I strongly recommend this racquet if you have elbow problems with synthetic gut strings no more than 56 lbs.

Sacha Baron Cohen's Ali G is a brilliant character, particularly in the way he criticizes cultural stereotypes and subverts anyone who seems to have a superiority complex over people. The show featured real life politicians and celebrities, whereas Ali G In da house is a fictionalized story centered around Ali G and the life he most likely would be living. The film's set up (the first thirty minutes) is intriguing because it shows him as a middle class suburbanite who actually fears authority and respects his grandmother. He isn't the most intelligent person, so it's possible that his decision to dress and act as a thug reflects his inability to fit into society on "normal" terms. However, the film doesn't do much with this premise. It transcends into a series of unfunny dick and fart jokes set to a ridiculous plot that barely holds the story together....... 6.5/10 stars.5 months ago

More From Food & Wine
Recipe Time
1 Hour, 30 Minutes
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1 yellow onion, coarsely chopped
- 5 garlic cloves, smashed
- 2 large ancho chiles, seeded and torn into large pieces
- 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 can crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup 2-percent milk
- 1 dozen cherrystone clams, scrubbed
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1 celery rib, finely chopped
- 1 fennel bulb, finely chopped
- 1 package frozen corn kernels, thawed
- 1 1/2 teaspoons smoked sweet paprika
- 1 pound skinless halibut fillet, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 pound shelled and deveined medium shrimp
- Oyster crackers or crusty bread, for serving
- In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the yellow onion, garlic, ancho chiles and fennel seeds and cook over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until the onion is lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Add the wine and cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes and 4 cups of water and bring to a boil. Cook over moderate heat until the vegetables and anchos are very tender and the broth is slightly reduced, about 15 minutes. Stir in the milk.

Pour the clam cooking broth into a bowl and let the grit settle, then add the broth to the soup, stopping before you reach the grit at the bottom. Season the soup lightly with salt and pepper.
- Rinse out the pot and wipe dry. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the pot and heat until shimmering. Add the potatoes and cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned in spots, about 5 minutes. Stir in the red onion, celery, chopped fennel and corn. Add the paprika and cook over moderate heat, stirring until the celery is crisp-tender, about 7 minutes. Add the soup and bring to a boil.
- Add the halibut, shrimp and chopped clams to the soup and simmer until the halibut is white and the shrimp are pink, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the soup in shallow bowls with oyster crackers or crusty bread.

Persuader: A Reacher Novelby Lee Child
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Jack Reacher.
The ultimate loner.
An elite ex-military cop who left the service years ago, hes moved from place to place…without family…without possessions…without commitments.
And without fear. Which is good, because troublebig, violent, complicated troublefinds Reacher wherever he goes. And when trouble finds him, Reacher does not quit, not once…not ever.
But some unfinished business has now found Reacher. And Reacher is a man who hates unfinished business.
Ten years ago, a key investigation went sour and someone got away with murder. Now a chance encounter brings it all back. Now Reacher sees his one last shot. Some would call it vengeance. Some would call it redemption. Reacher would call it…justice.
From the Paperback edition.
Jack Reacher lives for the moment. Without a home. Without commitment. And with a burning desire to right wrongs—and rewrite his own agonizing past. DEA agent Susan Duffy is living for the future, knowing that she has made a terrible mistake by putting one of her own female agents into a death trap within a heavily guarded Maine mansion.
Staging a brilliant ruse, Reacher hurtles into the dark heart of a vast criminal enterprise. Trying to rescue an agent whose time is running out, Reacher enters a crime lord's waterfront fortress. There he will find a world of secrecy and violence—and confront some unfinished business from his own past.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I've found that, on 10-man Vezax, my lone kick is enough to interrupt his AoE. If you manage to kick him with at least 50% of his castbar left, your kick ~will be up again in time for his next AoE. Granted we've only downed him 4 times, but every time I have only needed someone else helping interrupt when I get ahead of myself and accidentally use my kick on his other ability (the one the tank needs to run away from).
The hardest part is during these run-away phases, as you may get a bit too far away from Vezax (he does have a large hitbox though), and in these cases I always prioritize kicking over mashing DPS buttons.

I'm working with some low power stuff too, have you ever considered using a DS3231 RTC and sleep mode on the ATMEGA? That RTC battery can last years and it can also generate a wake-up signal to the chip..If you are just using this set up to occasionally transmit data, well, you don't really need the chip awake until you are ready to, right?
We would have to do some research on the RTC to see the idle current and if it would trigger ATMEGA interrupts from a CR2032
I want to build a drift buoy to send off to see if it could make it across the pacific, using ocean currents at particular depths as a conveyor and pressure sensor to determine depth. I will have a 'report' routine where it will surface and get a GPS location, charge the batteries with a solar cell, and transmit its data points and location to me using ULF. Obviously I want the thing to be using little-no power when it isn't collecting data or transmitting...
I will probably lose 90% of these buoys- but not before hopefully getting some transmit data!

"The Great American Cereal Book" in revi-ew
Considering a career in the alimentary-research field? Think twice, for you will spend many a greyish-green hour whomping room-temperature cream of mushroom onto sidewalks, to compare its similarity to vomit with that of tapioca; grinding off-brand cheese puffs in a pestle until you develop RSI; and horrifying first dates and prospective in-laws by comparing the top note of a lobster cracker to bacterial vaginosis.
But if you can get through a worthy tome like The Great American Cereal Book: How Breakfast Got Its Crunch by Marty Gitlin and Topher Ellis without requiring an Alka-Seltzer or a meditation break, you just might have a future in this business.
TGACB is a tirelessly researched, gorgeously illustrated, and astonishingly straight-faced encyclopedic history of the cold-cereal industry. Readers will learn that SpongeBob and Hannah Montana have their own cereals, for instance, and that General Mills VP John Holahan invented the tiny versions of marshmallows we find in breakfast cereals — known within the industry as "marbits" — by cutting up a Brach's circus peanut. (He subsequently eluded justice.) It's also an invaluable window into the metric tonnes of horseshit the naïve American consumer would put up with in decades gone by.
The B.A.R.F. has compiled a (Cheeri-)overview of the lowlights, both the cereals themselves and a few of the more egregious forgotten mascots. We highly recommend experiencing the book for yourselves, however.
Barbie Fairytopia
"Girl Cootie Crunch" didn't survive the first draft, evidently.
Crunchy Loggs
Without the equally off-putting mascot, "Bixby Beaver," Crunchy Loggs might have avoided the association with turds in the punchbowl. Alas.
Fiesta Fruity Pebbles with Confetti Sprinkles
As a result of a parental sugar-cereal embargo that continues to this day, Dr. Bunting spent most of the '80s craving the most diabetically sugar-laden breakfast foods on the market, but this would have been a Pixy Stik too far even for her.
Candy Corn and White Chocolate M&Ms
Description. Ever since that ill-advised promotion 25 years ago during which the Mars Corp. asked America to vote on which color M would replace the staid but reliable beige, the M&M has become progressively more antic in its desire to be all candies to all people. Specialty colors, pretzel fillings, uncomfortable advertising campaigns that ask us not only to anthropomorphize these tiny edibles, but also to infer that they are sexually active — there is the whiff of desperation.
The candy-corn/white-chocolate M&M pairs that whiff with a much stronger literal one, of candied orange peel rolled in Nerds. Each M is between a classic and a peanut M in size; the colors follow the stripes of a classic kernel of candy corn.
Packaging/Branding. Standard for the M&M family. Our AV technician failed to capture an in-focus shot of the package, but the front features the red M dressed in a candy-corn "costume" and looking too drunk to care what foolishness his overlords have forced him to promote this time. He may also be staggering under the weight of the 35% RDA of sat fats the single-serving package contains.
Berry Burst Ice Cream Oreos
Description. To what could the nominal burst refer? Not to genuine berry, we can confidently inform you; possibly an "into tears" was stricken from the copy by the marketing department. Or a reference to a dam of Barbie-tinted carcinogens.
Rainbow Coconut Bar
Description. Made by the Atkinson Candy Company (the Chick-O-Stick people), the RCB promises "PURE coconut for pure enjoyment!" What it delivers is rather more modest: the bar is hardly an entire rainbow, but a two-color top-of-a-tube-sock layout in glittery Strawberry Shortcake pink and off-white.
Packaging/Branding. A dissonant pairing of a gay-friendly rainbow and the sports-jersey style of font usually called something like "Gridiron" or "Rockne."
Flavor Profile. The usual disclaimers for a coco-centric snack apply, but coconut lovers will find little to appeal to them, either. The white stripe is unobjectionable, although the texture — a densely Sour-Patch-esque gel cake with a hint of crunch — doesn't match the taste profile. But the pink sections have an unpleasant pectin-y sourness; apparently, the idea is to replicate a berry of some sort. The…dingleberry, perhaps. Whatever the intent, the result is bilious and off-putting.
Habitat. Pride parades; pairs skate; tiki-themed office retreats.
Field Notes. Another effective route to a high BMI: the RCB contains 45% of the RDA of sat fats.
Revulsion Scale: 6
Butterscotch Smoothie
Description. Better known for the Mallo Cup, the Boyer Corp. didn't have a completely terrible idea with the Butterscotch Smoothie, which aims to do for the peanut-butter/scotch pairing what Reese's did for PB and chocolate.
Whether the pairing succeeds culinarily is almost beside the point, so distasteful is the visual presentation. All the butterscotch hues in the world — beige; caramel; camel — and the Boyer brain-trust selected a mid-aughts-Michael-Kors orange to coat the Smoothie. On top of that, the coating has chunks of peanut (we…hope) mixed into it. Add a crimped paper wrapper, and the whole affair looks like a vomit muffin.
Packaging/Branding. We would strongly suggest retooling the product to match up more closely with what appears on the package, as those Smoothies look reasonably attractive (not to mention, well, smooth). As it is, the label misrepresents everything about the product: the color; the texture; the proportions (and quality) of peanut butter to cup/coating.

The Patriots may be favored to beat the Giants in the Super Bowl, but they have the most underdog stories on their team. In light of National Signing Day which took place last Wednesday, Steve Megargee of Rivals.com went back to look at how each player from the Super Bowl was rated by Rivals coming out of high school. 39 of the 106 players on the active Super Bowl rosters were pre-Rivals (Rivals began rating players in 2002). Of the 67 remaining players, 26 (39%) were rated with two stars or no stars by Rivals. So what does this tell us? Even if you were hardly considered a prospect coming out of high school, it really doesn't have an impact on your professional prospects. However, it is important to note that some of the biggest impact players in the game were four or five star players.
Let's start with the four-star guys.
Pats (6): TE Rob Gronkowski (Arizona), TE Aaron Hernandez (Florida), LB Jerod Mayo (Tennessee), RB Stevan Ridley (LSU), RB Shane Vereen (Califiornia), DB Malcolm Williams (TCU)
Giants (13): TE Jake Ballard (Ohio State), TE Travis Beckum (Wisconsin), CB Will Blackmon (Boston College), C Jim Cordle (Ohio State), WR Mario Manningham (Michigan), WR Hakeem Nicks (North Carolina), DE Jason Pierre-Paul (USF), CB Aaron Ross (Texas), RB Da'Rel Scott (Maryland), WR Devin Thomas (Michigan State), DE Justin Trattou (Florida), OT Tony Ugoh (Arkansas), LB Jacquian Williams (USF).
Giants safety Kenny Phillips, and Pats backup QB Ryan Mallett and LB Brandon Spikes were the only five-star guys.
The number of no or two-star players is astounding.

"That's how you get to know each other: in the van, hour after hour. I was kind of stuck with them as models," Ringo said Wednesday at a press conference to introduce his new limited-edition photo book, Photograph.
"If you look at photographs of the Beatles, in 90 percent of them the three things we were always carrying were cigarettes, a drink and a camera," Ringo remarked.
Speaking at the ArcLight Cinemas in Hollywood, Ringo said he began taking photographs as a teen in Liverpool.
Photograph features a wide variety of previously unseen images snapped by Ringo throughout his life, along with accompanying personal recollections from the 73-year-old rock legend.
The Hollywood Reporter says Ringo remarked that he has been asked repeatedly to write an autobiography, but has always declined because "they only want eight years" covering the Beatles "and I did have a life before that and after that." Ringo says he thought the release of a photo book "was a better way to do it."
Each copy of the publication is personally signed by Ringo, is hand-numbered and has a hand-bound leather cover. The tome is a companion to an interactive ebook that was released in June via Apple's iBookstore.
Joining Ringo at the event was Nirvana and Foo Fighters ' drummer Dave Grohl and Steve Gorman , drummer for the Black Crowes .
Grohl declared that without Ringo, "we wouldn't be here. And it's nice to be here."
Grohl revealed that Ringo's solid, minimalist drumming had a direct influence on the way he played.
"When I was in Nirvana, the last thing I wanted to do was complicate the songwriting process, because Kurt [Cobain ] was a genius. I decided what I needed to do is what Ringo did in so many songs, which was just to lay it down."
Gorman said when he began playing the drums at age 17, one of the first songs he attempted was the Beatles' "Ticket to Ride." Gorman said he still plays the tune's heavy beat "at the start of sound check every day."

I work in the Infrastructure world and am about to relunctanly join the out of hours rota as we support applications worldwide and the business occasionally needs to support other countries.
1st to cover 7am-8pm on a rota (was 9-530),
2nd to formalise a new "out of hours" process that we can be called out if the 5hit hits the fan over night or weekends
The team (6) has come to agreement on a rota. Where we are less experienced is agreeing/contract changes for the OOH cover. There is a current OOH rota and only 3 people are doing it as 2 opted out. The 3 main parts of the agreement - you must "ASAP" and "be within 30mins of a internet connection/laptop". Payment at the moment is £150 per week no matter if you are called out zero or 10 times. This is the main why so many have pulled out but the business have now agreed a change to the terms and payment as clearly its not enough.
I didnt agree on the proviso it is too disruptive to my family life and you cannot really plan anything or go out.
Its likely to be 1 person will take the rota for a weekday night and then it will go to the next person, the person who does it on Friday though will cover the weekend as well and then rota will go back to weekday night and so on.
Now we have a chance to change the terms and payment schedule (eg payment per hour if called) so keen to find out what others find acceptable or is industry standard.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Wine Pairings for Desserts
Nutty Toffee-Date Cake
The cake, subtly spiced with cinnamon and ginger, gets topped with toasted nuts and a caramelly toffee sauce.
Wine Pairing: Tokaji. A Tokaji's sweetness is measured in puttonyos, the Hungarian word for a basket used in Tokaji's production; the scale runs from three to six. Tokajis go particularly well with anything caramelized, such as a tarte Tatin, or desserts with dates, nuts or figs.

Fantastic web-site. Loads of handy data here. Now i'm sending the item a number of close friends ans in addition expressing within tasty. And definitely, thank you for your effort!
Pay As You Go Phone Plans and Internet
Households keep feeling the pinch, thus being economical is the only order of the day. Most pay as you go options can save your budget and cash more carefully, including travel passes, credit cards, gyms and so on. You might have heard about pay as you go online and pay as you go phone plans and wondered how it works. The first one is a way to access the Internet without those boring things like signing a contract and paying a service fee, which is a great choice for people who don't regularly need the Internet and need to go online only for a few minutes per day. As for the second, pay as you go phone plan is a plan in which the user must purchase some amount of credit before he uses his phone.
About Pay As You Go Phone Plans and Phone Services
Pay as you go services are very helpful as well as useful when traveling abroad. You can end the service whenever you want to and you will not have monthly fees to pay, as you only pay for what you use. In order to help yourself determine if the pay as you go online and phone services are good for you, think about how many minutes or hours a month you spend talking on your phone or going online. If you think that pay as you go phone plans and online service are what you need, then it is very important to choose the best deal that suits the way you will use these services. Keep in mind that you need to top up your credit every time it runs out.
Pay As You Go Phone Plans
Pay as you go phone plans are an attractive option for those who want to cut back on expenses. They differentiate a little from standard phone plans, since there is neither a contract nor a monthly fee. All you need is a phone and a certain amount of credit that can be purchased from an ordinary electronic store or other vendors. These plans are perfect for those who use their phones occasionally and don't need the standard plan's expenses. If you don't want the idea of being tied to a carrier and signing a contract, then with the pay as you go online and phone services you can now try out various plans without paying termination fees.
Pay As You Go Online Services
Pay as you go Internet is gaining a big popularity. Once you buy the Internet minutes, you are free to use them for whatever you need. When the time runs out, you will need to purchase more if you want to continue your Internet access. The pay as you go online strategy is very similar to pay as you go phone plans, and is a great choice particularly for budget-conscious users. Pay as you go services with mobile broadband are different, since they require the purchase of a USB device so that the user can connect his computer online in order to receive a signal from a mobile broadband provider. With pay as you go, your Internet access will be stopped once the minute allowance has been reached.

September 27, 2010. At the end of this week in Kansas City, is the 31st annual American Royal Barbecue Event, among the largest gathering of BBQ enthusiasts and serious BBQ competition cooks in the world. Sporting both an Open Competition, that draws barbecue teams from across the country, some even from other countries, and an Invitational Event where only the top teams are invited to participate, it's as much about winning bragging rights as it is about the prize winnings that total in the tens of thousands of dollars.
This is a story of a seasoned BBQ champion, Larry Mayes, and his quest to win at the American Royal that I produced specifically for CUpS in 2006. For those who may want more, here's additional information about the feature length DVD, Inside The World of Championship Barbecue that this shorter story is based upon.
It's a long road, and it's not easy, a personal look at a barbecue world champion:
Larry isn't competing nearly as much as he had been when I first met him. He is now owner of a BBQ restaurant in Memphis, Fat Larrys BBQ. Anyone that runs a restaurant knows it takes up a good part of your life. But I do believe that the personal characteristics that have made him a champion on the competition circuit, aside from his great cooking skills, can only help to give him a competitive edge in the restaurant business.
Recipes from the show: 2 Fat Larrys Rib Rub; Barbecue Beans; Wonder Peach Cobbler; Larry's Slaw; and Grilled Catfish.
Go behind the scenes to learn just what it takes to become a champion BBQ cook.

Go to Current site: pnc-mla.cloverpad.org
The Technology Committee was charged to increase the use of electronic document delivery (EDD) within the region. Respondents to our survey last fall (in which a Web form was used to learn about how current EDD users receive and deliver copies, what the positive and negative aspects of their experiences with EDD have been, how patrons have reacted to EDD, and what issues stand in the way of libraries' using EDD) cited "Not sure how to begin" most frequently as a barrier to use of EDD. 31 people cited this reason. To provide a low-stress starting point for EDD use, the committee announced the availability in January '03 of the opportunity for libraries to test their capabilities to read TIFF files. The TIFF format was chosen because Ariel documents are commonly transmitted in this format, and also because we assumed that most libraries have acquired the capability and skill to read PDF files via their everyday use of the Web.
For this test of ability to read TIFF files, we invited libraries to send an email to the Intercollegiate College of Nursing's Anderson Library requesting a test file. This test TIFF file was then emailed to participating libraries so they could verify that it could be opened. Libraries were then invited to update their DOCUSER records to indicate their willingness to accept email delivery via TIFF. We publicized this test via HLIB-NW and used the new Technology Committee section of the PNC/MLA Web site (http://depts.washington.edu/pncmla/techcom/) to provide information about what software is needed for reading TIFFs (including the fact that almost all users of Windows computers already have the software on their machines, as do many Macintosh users). Twenty-six libraries had requested test files by February 6, 2003 with three more requests trickling in by the end of March '03 (this included two out-of-region libraries: WYUUWY from Laramie, Wyoming and NDULEX from Bismarck, North Dakota). Four of these libraries were not DOCLINE libraries; four more had already indicated in their DOCUSER records-before the test was announced, as shown by the date last updated of the relevant DOCUSER screen-that they were able to receive TIFF documents. Of the remaining 21 libraries, eight updated their DOCUSER records in late January, indicating their willingness and ability to receive TIFF documents. A Northwest Notes article is in progress that will describe this test, let libraries know that it is still available, and remind participants about updating their DOCUSER records.
Respondents to our survey last fall also cited "Cannot afford scanner" and "Cannot afford software" as barriers to EDD use. In fact, these two combined comprised a greater number than "Not sure how to begin." The NN/LM Pacific Northwest Region plans to offer funding late this coming summer that will provide support for acquiring equipment and software for EDD.

|Adeshola Enitan Okesanya
That's why I believe that they are looking for me," she told our correspondent last night as both scanned through her bawdy pictures.
To break into the world's third biggest movie industry, Enitan said, she will go as far as her strength will carry her.
"As long as my strength can carry me. Since it's about passion, I don't think I can get tired. I will not stop until I am done, not even when I am tired.
I love acting. I love fame. I hate poverty and I want to be rich.
Ever since I was a child I always wanted to be in the big screen. I think the time has come for me to show the world what I've got inside me," she said.
She said taking controversial pictures make her controversial and appealing.
"I think because I am personally cr*zy. I love creativity. I love doing things that are so unusual. I don't want to be doing everyday things. When I take a picture and people keep wondering, who's that girlOT POST

What is Matrixing? Matrixing is the ability of the brain to create a familiar image or sound from a picture or audio that would otherwise be unrecognizable. Look into the sky at the passing clouds and allow yourself to imagine the billowing masses transformed into a castle, a knight riding in a joust, or just a cuddly little stuffed bear. When your mind is in this state of imagination, seeing something familiar even though it doesn't exist is an example of matrixing. Matrixing can occur in many instances. For example, when NASA's Viking 1 Orbiter captured its first photographs of Mars on July 25, 1976, many who observed these photos were convinced that these images contained a large human-type face carved into a mountain on Mars. Many speculated this was evidence of extraterrestrial existence. NASA scientists, in an investigation of the face that appears in the images, confirmed the face was nothing more than complex shapes formed through the photo processing, and is an example of matrixing by some who observed these pictures with foreknowledge that a face was present.
When looking at a photograph with many complex shapes and colors, it's easy for the mind to think its seeing something that isn't really there. The mind is taking shapes and forms and turning them patterns (The most common pattern the brain attempts to find is faces). The picture below is one example of the brain trying to interpret and make sense of what it is seeing. The picture is not actually moving and is just a picture using patterns and colors that make it appear to be moving. This is an example of Matrixing.
In the field of paranormal investigation, investigators must be mindful of instances of matrixing while reviewing hundreds of photos and listening to hours of audio. Photographic evidence acquired during investigations may contain complex images with many objects that clutter the picture. For example, a photo taken of a window that also has curtains with a intricate pattern may lead an investigator's mind to project the false assumption that a entity exists within the picture because it appears to contain a face while in fact, it is the shape and shadows of the curtain. To guard against such matrixing, the investigator must be certain that the suspected entity is in fact separate from the surrounding clutter within the photograph. By having others inspecting the photo and using contrast and color adjustments, we can view the photo from different aspects and points of view before drawing a conclusion.
Investigators much also consider the possibility of matrixing while reviewing audio. While the investigator is listening to EVP audio, it is not uncommon for the mind to believe it hears a voice after a long period of listening to static or it could be a misinterpretation of a chair squeaking. Just as matrixing occurs visually, the mind cannot comprehend the static or other common sounds and will begin to perceive the sound as a familiar, returning a result as false evidence of paranormal activity. This is why it is important to have other members listen to the track without placing preconceived notions in their head by explaining what you think is being heard. This allows an objective set of ears to hear the clip before coming to a conclusion.
Matrixing is the brain trying to recognize a pattern in something that doesn't have one. So, be mindful of what you present as evidence and always continue research to educate yourself. Knowledge is a great asset and with it, you are able to distinguish was is paranormal and what isn't.

myAgro is a start-up nonprofit in West Africa that works with a network of local vendors to help small-scale farmers save up for fertilizer, seed and training packages using a mobile technology platform. Farmers pay for their agricultural investments on layaway and we provide technical training and market access to increase harvests and farmer income. In our pilot last year, farmers increased their cereals harvest by over 80% and we secured a 10% premium on market prices for their harvests. Our plan is to grow to serve over 75,000 farmers in Mali and Senegal in the next 5 years. We believe the key to ending rural poverty is helping small-scale farmers move beyond subsistence farming to grow for national and regional markets. myAgro has received multiple awards in recognition of our innovative mobile savings model including competitive social entrepreneurship awards from Rainer Arnhold, Echoing Green and Draper Richards Kaplan Foundation.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Love this invitation. I was able to have it say just what I wanted. We got the shimmer paper which is so pretty. The pink matches great with our pink and grey wedding colors. Everyone loves them. Thank you WPD!"
"After it took me two months to finally choose the right invitation, I was absolutely delighted that these were even better than I anticipated. Since I ordered them through Wedding Paper Divas, I was a little concerned there was going to be a WPD logo on the back, but these are simply perfect! No one will ever know I ordered them online. ;)"
"This invitation, even though very simple speaks volumes for elegance, the thickness of the paper. The letters are raised and you can feel them as you move your hands across the invitation. Simply put timeless."
"This design is rustic, yet very elegant. We received our invitations in such a short amount of time regardless that we ordered with standard shipping. They turned out beautiful! The design is perfect for our barn wedding. We can't wait to hear our family's reaction!"
"I am so in love with this invitation! What you get for the price is the best I could find online, and believe me, I looked! I love how you can print on the front and the back, that means less inserts! That alone saves money and any bride could appreciate that! I had a couple questions and design changes I wanted done and the customer service was quick and efficient. The samples shipped to me very quickly to! Over all I think this invitation and wedding paper divas as a whole is fantastic! I will def continue to use them for all my paper needs."

As we continue our exploration of the changes in the food industry this week, I am grateful for the comment of one woman, Stephanie, who remarked on the last post that there are many hard-working, good-hearted people working in this field to provide feasible solutions for the many challenges of agriculture and food production. It reminded me of the perspective that the producers of another food documentary, "King Corn," introduced toward the end of their film: that many of these changes that we may regret now were introduced with the good intentions of feeding more at a lower cost. Thus, on this topic, we need to follow the Scriptural injunctions to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry (James 1:19), because the one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him (Proverbs 18:17).
"King Corn" is about how corn has become the staple of our diet, because its by-products are in nearly everything we eat. It is an important subject to understand because it may be a key factor in some of the dominant public health issues of recent decades. The filmmakers obviously have a concern about this widespread mutation in our food consumption, but they do include a poignant scene at the end of the film with former Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz, who was obviously proud of what he had introduced in the early '70s. In an editorial last year, the filmmakers write about this scene and the juxtaposition of perspectives:
Dr. Butz recounted the birth of the modern food system with pride. Cheap food, fueled by federal production incentives for corn and soy, had quieted protests over expensive meat and eased worries about hunger. It had untied the hands of entrepreneurial farmers who wanted to experiment with economies of scale. And, in a point Dr. Butz returned to several times, it had left Americans with so much disposable income that even kids my age could afford cars. At his alma mater, Purdue University, there was a parking shortage.
For the better part of an hour, Ian and I tried to muster up the courage to challenge a system that spent, from 1995 to 2005 alone, $51 billion subsidizing cheap corn. Why flood the nation with processed commodities that become fast food? Why drive family farms out of business for the sake of grain companies? Why not subsidize fruits and vegetables in place of corn syrup?
But as our meeting went on, I realized that Dr. Butz's policies of abundance were somehow understandable. When Earl Butz finished college in 1933, it was the middle of the Great Depression; when Ian and I graduated, it was the obesity epidemic. I had never known scarcity, and had little respect for its power.
That's well-stated and it's just one of the many viewpoint conflicts that surround the issue of food. Therefore, I am recommending that you join me as I continue to educate myself on this subject and watch "King Corn." It is available on DVD, from iTunes, and is streaming for free from Netflix. Below is low-quality version of the trailer. If you want a better quality version, click here.

* Prices may differ from that shown
I bought this controller last year as I wanted to start PC gaming. I had always been a console gamer so could not get used to the keyboard and mouse setup and needed a gamepad. As I am not a hardcore gamer I went for a cheap USB option as I did not want to break the bank to play online then discover I still preferred console gaming.
As soon as I received the gamepad, i plugged it into my PC hoping to play a game of Team Fortress 2. However, it turned out that the gamepad was not compatible for the game by default and I had to try and map keys onto each of the buttons using third party software. This was frustrating and time consuming and I eventually gave up after some of the buttons were not recognised and neither of the analogue stick seemed to do a thing at all.
After giving up on PC gaming because of the pad, I turned to using it as a secondary controller for the PS3. This came with a host of problems too. The cable was far too short and I had to sit directly next to the TV and PS3 to play a gae, obscuring other people's views at times. The responsiveness of the keys wasn't great which led me to losing many kills in Call of Duty against my friends who were using official SIXAXIS controllers (I am nice, I gave them the better controllers). The worst part by far was that the analogue sticks would stick in position, they would not spring back, this meant that I would literally have to pull the stick to the centre to stop- moving/aiming. This made it impossible to play.
Firstly, if you are used to Playstations - then don't expect anything different with this. It is essentially modelled on the same Playstation platform, and there are no surprises about how it works.
The buttons which were previously designated shapes are now numbers, and they actually have a very solid feel despite the price. The D-Pad is a little clumsy, but the two analogue sticks work as you would expect and have never let me down.
I was a little dissapointed by the lack of triggers at the back of the controller, and a stronger force feedback option would have been nice but you would have expected to pay a lot more for that. The vibration is responsive but relatively weak.
To summarise, I would say that the strength of this controller lies in its ease of use and price. It is very easy to use and install, and reliability is fantastic. Also, somewhat to my surprise, it is fairly sturdy. I would definately recommend it for a budget buy!
