Secondly, I'm certainly not a foody but I am an Australian. Shouldn't it be Tasmanian Pepper not Tazmanian Pepper? I know that your description does match the Menu, but it doesn't sound right at all. Taswegians are very proud of their food, and I wouldn't want to make them angry.
Unless, of course, it was Pepper from the early 90s Sega Mega Drive game Taz-Mania, based on Taz the Tasmanian Devil. If that is the case, I'll happily withdraw my comment!
As far as allergies, guests are asked when reserving if there are any allergies in advance. I would presume that the chefs would make dramatic changes to the menu to adjust for allergies if known in advance (peanuts and celiac the most common these days).
When it comes to specific guest dislikes, I've never experienced a situation where I came across something I didn't think I would like. My guess is that the chef would ommit the ingredient, substitute another ingredient, or put that ingredient off to the side of the plate, but still pursuade you to try it. There's a possibility that another dish from the standard menu may get substituted if the chef is unable to perform an ingredient elimination or substitution. Most fine dining restaurants purchase ingredients daily, often with the Chef's Table Menu in mind, so it's unlikely for a kitchen to be able to stray far from what ingredients they happen to have on hand. Additionally, some chefs may be uncomfortable creating a brand new dish on the fly without testing it first, so you're likely to get a spin on a standard menu item or perhaps a dish from a recent Chef's Table menu.
Ultimately, most guests who choose to do a chef's table experience are interested in the culinary journey, and should be open to trying lots of new things.

Will Grant Robertson get the chop?
The relationship between Labour's finance spokesman David Parker and its economic development spokesman David Cunliffe is warming.
This matters because Labour leader David Shearer and Green co-leaders Russel Norman and Metiria Turei may well form a government in two years.
The rapprochement between Mr Shearer's two economic spokesmen, both former leadership contenders, is good news for him but may be bad news for his deputy, Grant Robertson.
Bad blood
The bad blood from Labour's public leadership contest in 2011 rivalled that from National's Bill English/Don Brash struggle in 2003.
Shearer loyalists even advised the new leader to try to drum the New Lynn MP out of parliament the way John Key did to Dr Brash in 2006.
Behind the scenes, Mr Cunliffe was described as arrogant, lazy and hen-pecked.
Nor was Mr Cunliffe blameless.
He never accepted his colleagues' judgment and spent most of 2012 undermining his leader, with list MP Moana Mackey trying to do his numbers.
A series of speeches, purportedly about economic policy, were obvious leadership bids. It was put about that a coup would be launched just ahead of next month's party conference, which will consider rule changes to make future Labour leaders more secure.
Sneaky Robertson
Mr Robertson sat out the 2011 leadership race, calculating it was too soon for him.
Instead, he opted to become deputy and his appointment was positioned as unifying the party's left and right.
Mr Robertson, though, has conspicuously failed to express unqualified public support for Mr Shearer. Instead, he has slotted his loyalists into all important roles through the party, including the top jobs in the leader's office.
Mr Shearer naively accepted these impositions and has tried to work constructively with Mr Robertson, accepting his advice and that of his acolytes on all matters of political strategy and day-to-day media tactics.Mr Robertson has not reciprocated, keeping an eye out for a moment to seek the leadership himself.
Through the year, it has become obvious to Mr Cunliffe that neither Ms Mackey nor anyone else can deliver him the numbers. The so-called ABC faction – Anyone But Cunliffe – remains a majority in the caucus, especially as the polls continue to move in the right direction for Mr Shearer, indicating Labour has won over 135,000 new voters since he took over.
Mr Cunliffe's realisation his leadership ambitions were going nowhere coincided with Mr Parker making a new effort to include him in policy development.
Mr Cunliffe responded positively, being enthused by Mr Parker's interest in a new economic model.
No longer sacrosanct are things like price stability and the Reserve Bank Act or the general principle that New Zealand should be an open and lightly regulated economy.
Instead, Mr Parker and Mr Cunliffe are heavily influenced by the likes of Joseph Stiglitz, the former lead author for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, who was briefly Chairman of President Clinton's Council for Economic Advisors, before being manoeuvred by his administration critics into the World Bank, from which he was fired.
Nevertheless, Mr Parker and Mr Cunliffe are taken by Professor Stiglitz's latest arguments that governments must impose greater equality to achieve a more dynamic economy. Working together has gone a long way to restore their personal relationship and Mr Shearer is prepared to forgive Mr Cunliffe's earlier disloyalty.
Video set up?
The situation is not so positive for Mr Robertson.
His advice, and that of those he has placed around Mr Shearer, is seen to have been so poor that there was speculation after the latest fiasco – Mr Shearer's false allegation about a GSCB video – that perhaps Mr Robertson had deliberately set Mr Shearer up.
The conspiracy theory is unlikely. More probable is that, in seeking too much control, Mr Robertson has bitten off more than he can chew.
Mr Shearer cannot of course fire Mr Robertson as part of his forthcoming reshuffle but the role of the deputy will surely be considered.
Were Mr Parker to replace Mr Robertson, while retaining finance, he would become for Mr Shearer what Michael Cullen was for Helen Clark and Mr English is for Mr Key – the deputy of unquestionable loyalty, whose own leadership ambitions have been extinguished by bitter experience, and trusted with a wide brief.
Mr Cunliffe would then move into number three, and play the role of Bill Birch in Jim Bolger's government, Steve Maharey in Ms Clark's and Steven Joyce in Mr Key's.
Along with Dr Norman, the three Davids – Shearer, Parker and Cunliffe – would form the big four in the new Labour/Green government, as Mr Key, Mr English, Mr Joyce and Gerry Brownlee do in the current government.
That prospect is surely more attractive for Mr Cunliffe than that of saboteur.
Such new arrangements would also free Mr Robertson to concentrate fully on his passions of tertiary education and advocating for the Wellington public service.
Don't bank on it just yet. But don't rule it out either.
Comments and questions28
When I hear the names Cunliffe or Parker, I shudder, When I hear them mentioned together, I tremble. Add in Russell Norman, and I shake uncontrollably for NZ's economic future.
One more immigrant here to Australia if that occurs
Rather than criticising the National Party in government, the Labour party would do well to undertake some self criticism.
They certainly don't present a credible government option at present, regardless of who they get into bed with; and their potential partners are horrifying.
Article means 'a week is a long time in politics'! Conjecture, assumptions and extrapolations based on a very fluid murky yet to be factoids, if they exist? What happens when the Mormon Mafia Godfather takes over? Or not?
Labour would send us back to the dark ages with these current politicians.
Ah well Mathew, at least it's clear from the above comments that you know your target audience and that your scuttlebutt will never have to suffer undue scrutiny.
Well offer some "scrutiny" then. Instead you do lefty 101 and simply play the man instead of the ball. Is it because you have no real response to what Hooten has written? What is it with you guys?
The whole thing is an opinion piece. There are no facts to dispute, that's what wrong with it. But I see it doesn't stop you from making emotional accusations - obviously you are committed yourself to a highly rational approach to things!!!
Robertson's making some careless political moves. Understandable, though; as much disharmony in his home, with his better-half complaining that he's not doing his fair share of the housework.
Labour Greens Mana co-allition? Like some kind of oozing stinking liquifaction formed from Marxism, Socialism and Apartheid. Can you any investors willing to risk their hard eaned money in such an environment?
Let's hope the voters realise that such a government will mean all our educated grandchildren will live in Australia or elsewhere, and the tipping point will have been breached in perpetuity, good bye New Zealand. Let's make sure it never happens.
Open your eyes. The grandkids are leaving in their droves now. The ones back here cant get jobs, apprenticeships and sure as hell dont want student loans round there necks with no job 2 pay it off with. Your beloved national govt to blame. More for their rich mates at the cost of our young. Shame!
Hopefully our grandchildren will at least be better educated so as to avoid using silly ideological classifications.
And by the way, as an investor, I have always got better returns with the levels of economic growth that have historically been achieved under Labour Governents - a statement of fact, not one of polltical bias.
The trouble with Labour MPs -- not one of them has ever held a decent job or been self-employed. All teachers and lecturers, social workers etc; always talking and never listening. They all have this haughty, stifling " I know what's best" instructive-type attitude.
Stick to counting your money mate. Thought obviously eludes you.
Such an easy fact to check, but of course you don't, preferring to perpetuate a falsehood that satisfies your emotions.
And while all this is happening, marching along to the sound of their very slick PR/Social Media drum are the Greens. True Labour does it its fair share of family black sheep, but I would rather them as the lead opposition party.
Here we go again - the usual 'spin-doctor' campaign try to pick and snipe and undermine Labour Party leadership?
Saw it all before with Phil Goff in 2011.
The question I want answered is:
What role did John Key play in the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act in November 1999, when he was a foreign exchange advisor to the New York Federal Reserve, and Head of Derivatives for Merrill Lynch?
Given that the effect of the repeal of the Glass Steagall Act was to leave the derivatives market unregulated?
Given that the global financial meltdown has been largely caused by the collapse of the derivatives market?
Who is going to ask THAT question?
Penny Bright
'Anti-corruption campaigner'
Seruioulsy ? Thats the question you want asked ? Do you really believe that John Key had a significnat role in the GSA ? You are looking for fire where there is no smoke ! Maybe you shoudl ask Mike Williams to go and snoff this out.....Im sure teh labour party will pick up the bill.
To think that a New Zealand merchant banker with no role in the US legislative process whatsoever had a role in repealing an act like the GSA is beyond brainless. Clearly, this is another example of the left attempting to connect a man who did well for himself in financial services with something undesirable, when the link simply does not exist. There's no evidence, and it sounds desperate - much like the Labour Party of late. Besides, this article has literally nothing to do with the GSA, please take your credential-less 'anti-corruption' campaigning to a more relevant medium.
"Will Grant Robertson get the chop?"
The question is redundant, as his partner is barren.
What incredibly bad taste. I am appalled to think that such emotional ideological thinking encourages you to make such a comment. There are plenty of personal comments here but this is undoubtedly the worst.
You shouild be ashamed of yourself.
Cunliffe has to be brought back otherwise Labour hasn't a show in hell in the next election. So what if he's clever and smartly dressed? As for Norman - ye gods where/ how did he get his doctorate and was it in soil science or what not to know what money printing leads to is unforgiveable. We have long complained that kiwis don't save enough - what happens when printing money comes in and the people in the middle are wiped out - it leads to fascism.
I don't like to say it because it seems unkind but I don't think the country is ready for a senior gay politician....

Wider tire giving better traction debate!

Aug14-09, 11:19 PM
so ive joined this forum to discuss this topic. IN class ive learned that wider tires does not give better traction and it is the same traction similar to a more narrow tire. now i have friends telling me that i am wrong bringing up that F1s do not use narrow tires because of traction. if someone can please clarify this to every instance that they can. if you would an could rebutal any of this please do. and tell me if i am wrong. thank you

here is the tibit from my book.

Mark Giannini
Traction and friction are two (slightly) different concepts. Not only that but using car tires in a physics book is stupid (and something I've never actually seen before) simply because their coefficient can exceed 1, which changes everything. On top of that the standard equation does not account for deformation of the tire (which can be accounted ... Read Morefor through rolling resistance). Further more, even though the contact patch is the same regardless of tire size (generally) AT REST, the shape that it takes under dynamic load is better distributed by a slightly wider tire giving better traction. While a wider tire does gain some heat benefit from a greater surface area it's only a small part of it.
Never trust your physics book for real world situations. Life doesn't involve frictionless surfaces and weightless ropes.

Also your argument of "it's for heat distribution" is stupid. If I am able to achieve a better coefficient of traction by keeping temperatures down through using a larger tire then I've still achieved more traction by using a larger tire.

1) drag a piece of scotch tape across a table using slight pressure.

This wiki article explains tire load sensitivity:
In the case of tires, although traction increases with load, it increases less than linearly, and coefficient of friction decreases with load. A larger contact area reduces the load per unit area, resulting in more grip. There is a point of diminishing returns, such as weight and aerodynamic drag. It's also true that a larger tire dissapates heat and with a lighter load involved, it wears less. Another reason for a larger contact area is to compensate for debris or track imperfections interfering with the tire and pavement contact.
Note that load sensitivity is commonly used to adjust the understeer or oversteer of car. When a car turns, the downforce on the outside tires is increased and the downforce on the inside tires is decreased. The body of a car also rolls a bit, and the supension can be used to unequally distribute the load between the front and rear tires. If the front end is relatively stiffer, then more of the downforce is exerted on the outside front tire, and the relative grip is reduced because of tire load sensitivy. A stiffer front end causes the front end to lose some grip in turns, resulting in understeer. A relatively stiffer rear ends results in oversteer. Street cars are generally setup with understeer, while race cars are setup with a small amount of oversteer.
For a variety of reasons, such as deformations, molecular bonding type reactions as well as surface roughness, real world friction isn't the simple thing described in physics books. From the wiki article on friction:
in general the relationship between normal force and frictional force is not exactly linear (and so the frictional force is not entirely independent of the contact area of the surfaces) :

Thanks to Jeff Reid for the excellent post...I am currently in Key Laro so don't have access to my data base..but in racing ...it is all about tires..tires..TIRES. The more tire foot print you can use effectively, the faster you will go straightline...this is why drag racers drop a full second or more off their elapsed time (ET) by bolting on a set of drag slicks..ET drops because you are transmitting the same amount of " acceleration " to the pavement more effectively..its the same car, same horsepower...wider tires... The more tire contach patch you can maintain without losing grip, the better you can enter and exit the turn.
Don't get hung up on the tire footprint vs static load per wheel... its ok to calculate this when looking at SNOW...( a combat tank can traverse snow better than a GI walking with 90 pounds of combat toys..good mind drill but thats as far as it goes...

Wider tire giving better traction debate!
Mehcanisms of Tire grip.
Mechanical Keying
As they are madr from deformable rubber, tires dont exactly follow basic friction theory. So to just say that F=mu*r is strictly wrong. Although it basically does floow this during the elastic range.
Tires only give grip when they are at the correct temperature. this is the most important thing you can remember about tires .
Now on to business.
Tires are the most important part of the suspension, either they are designed to fit it, or the suspension is designed around the tire.
People who say wider tires make more grip because ;''there is more rubber on the road' are wrong. They are both wrong that it makes mroe grip and that there is more rubber on the road.
When you make a tire wider, you alter the contact patch to be wider , but it reduces in length. So depending on sidewall stiffness, a wider tire can actually give less rubber on the road.
The main reason for tires being the size they are is actually heat management. Wider, low sidewall tires will cool better than narrow tall tires. If you can;'t get a tire up to temperatie it will give no grip, if you get it too high you will cook the rubber and ruin the set of tires.
Back to contact patch, you can safely assume that contact patch stays roughly the same area with wide or narrow tires (as long as the load stsys the same). Narroe will have longer contact patches and wide tires will have shorter.
The reason why F1 tires are wide is primarily so that they dont cook (remember they arent just wide, they are fairly high sidewalled), but they ten dto have wider contact patches because they will give better grip going round corners.
A wide tire will generate more lateral force per slip angle making cornering better. F1 cars DO NOT have wide tires for linear acceleration.
Conversely (Mike im goin to have to disagree with you here) drag racers acutally use the tires not becuase of the width, but the tallness. As we know a wider contact patch gives better cornering performance, a narrow but long contact patch is what you want for linear acceleration.
so strangely, drag racers will actually be better with narrow tires. So why do they use wide tires? (remember the most important gip aspect of tires) Temperature! They want as longer contact patch as they can get, but need the width for cooling. (eith 4000+ horsepower you do kind of build temp rather well)
But if you look at the contact patch shape between say, an F1 car or drag racer. (both are considered to use wide tires). The F1 patch will be wider and shorter for good cornering, the drag patch will be longer and narrower (relatively) for good linear acceleration.
So to sum up: Wider tires are not always better. They dont always give better traction. It depends on the car, the situation, the conditions.
Eg. Rally cars use wider tires when on tarmac rallys, and use (surprisingly) very thin tires on ice rallys.
F1 cars used to use narrow tires until aero began to be used in the 60's.
Drag racers acutally want tall tires, width is there to stop the tire being destroyed.
TEMPERATURE!!!!!! rawr.
As example I can think of is formula student cars, they used to use 8inch tires but couldnt get them up to temperature. They switched to 6.5inch and got more grip because they can get them up to temp.
hoyl beep thats the longest post i've ever done. I should do a tl;dr summary.

and an excellent psot is is, Chris..
i whole heartedly agree on the drag slicks..i did not want to cloudy up thinhs and bring in deformation..anyone who has been at the Christmas Tree ( starting line) at the 1/4 mile drag strip would see the slicks " growing" as the RPMs rev. like the y get very TALL going thru the traps (end of the 1/4 mile4) .and...they are running so low a tire pressure that they have to use sheet metal screws in each wheel rim drilled into t h e tire bead to keep the slicks from spinning...but your addition into the height or addinonal " rollout" length is absolutely spot on...
shorter wider tires offer better management of scrub radius and this goes back to Center of Gravity and Roll Center location...a lot of other factors regarding suspension but you ca nread up on this in the Mechanical Engineering Forumn
also the wider shorter tire will have less moment of inertia and spin up quicker than the taller narrower tire...any time you can reeduce rotating weight by one pound, its like taking ten pounds of the car weight..as far as the car thinks when accelerating..some other points but will dig up my old links in a bit..

That is true, you can increase the width but decrease the pressure to compensate. So as long as the tires dont become too snappy, and you can keep the heat under control this would be a perfect wxample of when wider tires are good.
However if you kept increasing the width and decreasgin the pressure to compensate for the contact patch, you can shift the heat to the outside of the tire causing massive local heating and destroy the tires. Having low pressures will also majorly screw you in wet conditions. :)
It's all about balance, sometime wide tires are good others not so much. It's just a pet peeve that people think that wider always = better.

soo wat is the verdict of this? do wider tires give better traction?
Aug25-09, 02:50 PM
Sometimes but not always.
Going wider will not always give better traction.
If you want an all sweeping statemnt that is roughly true. Wider contact patch sacrifices linear traction for lateral, narrow tyres sacrifices lateral for longditudinal traction. And the most important thing about tyres is not contact patch area but that they are correct working temperature.

My friend was a the national champ in his class (bracket-racer) a couple of times. I watched him progress over the years, and by far the biggest improvement in his times came when he switched from moderate slicks to very wide slicks and started running very low tire pressures to increase the size of the contact patch. He was running perhaps 4 psi in those rear tires, and his car was putting so much power to the wheels that he had to drill the flanges of the rims and insert screws into the beads of the tires to keep from spinning the rims out of the tires.
BTW, he had to go to a really heavy-duty rear-end in order to cope with the extra strain. When he dumped the clutch, that 340 Duster would pull a 2-foot+ wheelstand on the line.
Aug25-09, 03:17 PM
Turbo that means nothing though, as when you change the width of the tyres you arent just changin gthe width. You are changing the effective rates of the wheel, etc. In effect you are making a very extensive change to the suspension (as the tyre is the most important part of it).
Someones experience of putting on wider tyres is not proof that wider tyres = better. Its also not definative that it was acutally the width that made them go better.
You will also find that as people have got into the mentality that WIDE = GOOD, tyre companies have been savvy and strted making their uber wide tyres out of a softer compound. In many cases its the compound change that does the job, not the width. The fact he's runnign at stupidly low pressures (I suspect to build heat) had got to give wear rate problems round the shoulder. And im not surprised he had to screw the tyres on to stop them collapsing at 4psi.
EDIT: Drag racing is a funny business though, beause Like I said above for linear acceleration narrower longer contact patches are acutally better. It's just practical reasons they have to be mega wide.
Aug25-09, 03:23 PM
PF Gold
Wider may not always be better in real-life situations, but the drag track is a harsh mistress, and these guys succeed or fail on hundredths of a second. There are no funny-cars or competitive dragsters running narrow tires, unless they are show-cars powered by rockets or jet engines.
Aug25-09, 03:28 PM
The point is though the mentaility that wider always = better is wrong. There is an optimum limit even on drag racers.
Tbh though drag racing has never done it for me, yes its impressive that top fuel make 4000+ HP and go a zillion miles an hour. But racing for me = open wheel or sports car.
I tried to get into touring cars but I dunno they just dont do anything for me.

Scouting Report: Trey Michalczewski
Player's Name: Trey Michalczewski
Position: 3B/INF
Senior at Jenk HS in Jenks OK
WT: 195lbs
Bats/ Throws: S /R
Body: Michalczewski has a solid athletic frame. Physically he doesn't have much more growing or filling out to do but he is a very physically strong player. He shows great agility and quickness. He has a strong lower half and rounded shoulders.
Swing: Michalczewski has a slightly open stance with most of his weight on his bent back leg. He has his hands about shoulder high with loose grip and a slight bat wiggle. His load is a slight draw back of the hands and a slight weight shift to the back leg. When he strides, it is more towards the plate then the pitcher keeping his front side closed. His swing from the right side is a little longer but it is very fluid and shows quick hands. His swing from the left side shows great bat speed and is very direct to the ball. He shows the ability to hit for a good average and power from both sides of the plate. He shows a very good feel for hitting.
Base running: Michalczewski has plus to above average speed with a 6.7 in the 60. He also shows very good base running skills. He has the ability to be a moderate base stealing threat.
Defense: Michalczewski played all over the infield this season. It is my belief that he will end up settling in at 3B. He has good hands and good reactions to handle 3B. He shows a good strong arm but his footwork needs improvement for him keep under control.
Summary: Trey Michalczewski is one of the must under the radar High School players. He has shown power and the ability to hit for average. He has the ability to have 4 to 5 above average tools. . For me, he is a sleeper on a national level, but the people in Oklahoma already know he can flat out play.

Tristan Murail:
"Territoires de L'oubli" 1977
Performed by Dominique My
Available on this c.d. published by Accord
Morton Feldman:
"Palais de Mari" 1987
Performed by Marianne Schroeder
Another performance by Ronnie Lynn Patterson is available on this c.d.
Also, another performance by Markus Hinterhauser is available on this c.d.
I love piano. To display this, I've decided to create another post dedicated to the "magical resonance of the piano." Last time, I chose 'minimalist' works that exaggerate and highlight the phenomenological brilliance of piano resonance. This time, I've chosen two works that are sculpted from the piano's resonance and decay rather than the more conventional series of attack points.
"Territoires de L'oubli" is the grand pillar in Tristan Murail's oeuvres for solo piano. Roughly translated as "Territories of the Lost," the work uses a constantly depressed sustain pedal to show the various stages of a submerging minor ninth between B4 and C6. To emphasize this fluid motion, Murails models his seamlessly endless variety of materials on the periodic rise and fall of a sinuous wave.
"Palais de Mari" is one of the last works in Morton Feldman's remarkable oeuvre. I am hesitant to write a lot about Morton Feldman's music and aesthetic since so much has been written about him since the 80th anniversary of his birth. (For the curious, I would simply recommend the above link highlighting his name.) "Palais de Mari" holds a special place for me since it was the first Morton Feldman work I heard, the only one I knew for four years, and is often what I play before I go to sleep. Supposedly Bunita Marcus commissioned the work with the stipulation that Morton Feldman should try and compress everything that he was writing in his later style into a 'short' work. No matter how many times I have played and listened to this work, I still find new ways in which sumptuously fleeting internal links seem to decay and resonate from the page.

Sarah Kaufman Ready To 'Slide That Red Carpet' Out From Ronda Rousey On Aug. 18
Days before from challenging Ronda Rousey for the Strikeforce woman's bantamweight championship, Sarah Kaufman is preparing to step out from the shadows of her opponent and into the spotlight.
Kaufman, 26, is being written off by fans, media, and oddsmakers as having no chance of dethroning Rousey in the main event of Strikeforce: Rousey vs. Kaufman on Aug. 18 in San Diego. The challenger, who held the belt for eight months in 2010, feels she is being significantly under looked prior to Saturday's fight, but it is a role that isn't necessarily bothersome. Rousey is undefeated and the current golden girl of female MMA. While that is fine and dandy for now, Kaufman is ready to win back the belt that previously belonged to her once the cage door closes at the Valley View Casino Center.
"I'm coming into the fight as a five to one underdog, which is crazy. I'm the former champion, how can you say that when Ronda's literally had one fight in my division?" Kaufman told Fight Cove (www.fightcove.com). "Ronda is the new champ, she's the phenomenon that came on the scene and took over woman in the sport and I'm kind of that person who is the quieter one who has been the champion and been stepped over."
Rousey has become a big name in MMA overnight. Just five fights into her career, the 2008 Olympic Bronze medalist holds the most prestigious belt in female fighting. Due to her good looks, outlandish personality and talent inside the cage, Rousey has been pushed hard into the public eye. In recent months, Rousey has appeared on popular television programs such as TMZ and Conan, but most notably was featured on the cover of last month's edition of ESPN The Magazine: Body Issue.
While Kaufman feels Rousey's fame is positive in the sense that it has brought attention to female MMA, she wants some of that spotlight for herself and plans on taking it all away from the current champion in one fell swoop come Aug. 18.
"I'm ready to come in and slide that red carpet out from under Ronda's feet."
As far as how Kaufman stacks up against Rousey skill-for-skill, the Victoria, British Columbia native is aware of the threat the Judo specialist presents on the ground, but it not focusing entirely on that aspect of the fight. Kaufman is in the opinion Rousey has a predictable offensive attack, which can be both a positive and a negative in terms of her preparation.
"Every fight she has had she's kind of fought the same style and it's smart because that's what she's good at, but it's also a little bit predictable." Kaufman explained. "I've basically just taken my camp…and really just come up with a good game plan that is suited to me and not worry so much about what Ronda's going to do because you have to fight your fight."
Rousey is undefeated in MMA competition, winning all five of her bouts by first-round submission. On the flip side, Kaufman holds a professional record of 15-1 with her lone loss coming to Marloes Coenen by armbar submission, a move that Rousey has won all her fights with.
Kaufman is the far more experienced MMA fighter of the two, with more than three times as many fights as Rousey. With a total career fight time of 405-seconds, there are a lot of unknowns about where the champion's skills are in positions other than the ground. Kaufman has been training at diligently ZUMA in Victoria and Greg Jackson's in Albuquerque to exploit potential weaknesses in Rousey's game, particularly in the striking department where, on paper, she holds a significant advantage.
"It's definitely not a surprise that I'm going to want to keep it standing and she's going to want to take it to the ground." Kaufman said. "Just based on I have a lot of knockouts and she clearly has a lot of armbars and that's both our comfort zones."
There is no telling how a fight will play out until the cage door closes, but when Kaufman enters the cage opposite Rousey in the main event Aug. 18 on Showtime her plan is simple: fight to her strengths better than her opponent.
"It's just going to be who can do that better and I'm really sure that I'm going to do what I want better."

Chinese Export Porcelain from the Liebman Collection
Catherine Coleman Brawer
In the first half of the 20th century Milwaukee collector Ethel Liebman acquired hundreds of exquisite Chinese export porcelains, which were presented to the Elvehjem in the 1970s. Over a hundred of these wares are described and documented, including armorial and pseudo-armorial pieces, some porcelains decorated with indigenous Eastern designs, and others with Western motifs.

Reduction in length of hospital stay is a veritable target in reducing the overall costs of health care. However, many existing approaches are flawed because the assumptions of what cause excessive length of stay are incorrect; we methodically identified the right targets in this study.
To identify the causes of excessively prolonged hospitalization (ExProH) in trauma patients.
The trauma registry, billing databases, and medical records of trauma admissions were reviewed. Excessively prolonged hospitalization was defined by the standard method used by insurers, which is a hospital stay that exceeds the Diagnosis Related Group–based trim point. The causes of ExProH were explored in a unique potentially avoidable days database, used by our hospital's case managers to track discharge delays.
Level I academic trauma center.
Adult trauma patients admitted between January 1, 2006, and December 31, 2010.
Main Outcomes and Measures
Excessively prolonged hospitalization and hospital cost.
Of 3237 patients, 155 (5%) had ExProH. The patients with ExProH compared with non-ExProH patients were older (mean [SD] age, 53 [21] vs 47 [22] years, respectively; P = .001), were more likely to have blunt trauma (92% vs 84%, respectively; P = .03), were more likely to be self-payers (16% vs 11%, respectively; P = .02) or covered by Medicare/Medicaid (41% vs 30%, respectively; P = .002), were more likely to be discharged to post–acute care facilities than home (65% vs 35%, respectively; P < .001), and had higher hospitalization cost (mean, $54 646 vs $18 444, respectively; P < .001). Both groups had similar Injury Severity Scores, Revised Trauma Scores, baseline comorbidities, and in-hospital complication rates. Independent predictors of mortality were discharge to a rehabilitation facility (odds ratio = 4.66; 95% CI, 2.71-8.00; P < .001) or other post–acute care facility (odds ratio = 5.04; 95% CI, 2.52-10.05; P < .001) as well as insurance type that was Medicare/Medicaid (odds ratio = 1.70; 95% CI, 1.06-2.72; P = .03) or self-pay (odds ratio = 2.43; 95% CI, 1.35-4.37; P = .003). The reasons for discharge delays were clinical in only 20% of the cases. The remaining discharges were excessively delayed because of difficulties in rehabilitation facility placement (47%), in-hospital operational delays (26%), or payer-related issues (7%).
Conclusions and Relevance
System-related issues, not severity of illness, prolong hospital stay excessively. Cost-reduction efforts should target operational bottlenecks between acute and postacute care.

Check out www.GameMob.com for the official post and add us on Fun Run at GameMob1.
Fun Run is an online multiplayer race to the finish line. The cute aspects of the game wears off when you collect perks to attack your opponents, protect yourselves from opponent's attacks, or set traps. There is likely blood involved.
Although it seems like a simple concept, there are different strategies that work for other people.
Why would you want to be the best? Well, if you're competitive in nature, your record depends on it. Also, your rank at the end of the game determines the number of coins you will collect.
1.Start off Strong!
Getting the lead early on is very important.
Trailing behind will give you more obstacles to overcome as opponents will leave behind traps and toss spinning saws to slow you down. At the start of the race, you are equipped with a perk. I normally use it right away, especially if I am equipped with a shield.
2. Timing is Everything
Timing of your jumps, your use of weapons, and your shield is crucial to success. Do not fall in love with using as many perks as possible because it can backfire. Some perks are worth holding on to until the right moment.
For example, you may have a lightning strike but your opponents might have shields on. Wait for the shield to wear off and then strike!
3. Learn the Maps
There are a total of 12 maps and although their icon image does not provide much information, you can become familiar with the environments through experience.
There are two distinct environments, which I call 'nature' and 'candyland'. Nature environments tends to have massive rocks, tall walls to climb, and hills. Candyland consists of different types of grounds which I will explain in the next point and high clouds.
4. Know The Different Types of Grounds (In Candyland Maps)
There are three types of colored grounds which either propel you forward, bounce you in the air, or slow you down. It is important to know the effect of the medium.
Red – Just like a trampoline, this will propel you in the air if you jump on it. You do not have much control in this case but the higher you jump onto the red floor, you can make up a lot of ground.
White - This is a speed booster and will propel you forward. A good trick is to set traps at the end of this if you are in the lead.
Orange – Avoid running on this medium as it will slow you down greatly. To get through it, constantly jump to come across it.
5. Beware of the Oncoming Saw
What I felt that hurt me the most early on was the saw. If you throw a saw to your opponents, there is a good chance of it coming back at you. You will need quick reflexes to predict it coming back towards you or you are history.
6. Practice Makes Perfect
I had to throw this one in there, as it is true with anything that you do. This game allows you to practice against the computer and gives you an opportunity to learn from the pooints I mentioned above. So yes, practice does makes perfect.
So get a head start or improve your winning percentage with these tips in Fun Run.

Buffalo Bills rookie wide receiver Marquise Goodwin showcased his electrifying speed during the preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts with two impressive returns, including a 107-yard touchdown. Goodwin was a track star in college with the Texas Longhorns and didn't have too much college production, but he has so much speed and upside. The Bills have to be impressed with what Goodwin has done in August, as he's had a strong camp and had those aforementioned returns against the Colts.
Offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett praised Goodwin not too long ago, and now WGR 550 Buffalo's Joe Buscaglia writes that Goodwin had another long reception at practice today. Buscaglia states that Marquise Goodwin has consistently gotten open deep downfield, and the speedster was able to make the haul against coverage from Credzon Butler and converted safety Aaron Williams. Goodwin is taking advantage of injuries to Stevie Johnson and T.J. Graham (both threw passes to each other during practice), and Buscaglia writes that he has been "flourishing", which is certainly high praise.
Goodwin is going to make an immediate impact to the Buffalo Bills as a returner, and that impact and big-play ability on special teams cannot be understated. The fact that he also looks ready to be an impact deep threat in certain situations is also promising, and it looks like he is out performing expectations early on. It will be interesting to see if he or Da'Rick Rogers receives more snaps, but don't expect too much playing time at receiver from Goodwin as a rookie. He could get more time if he continues to "flourish", but the Bills will feel his impact when he's on the field (I would consider him a quality No. 5 receiver for now, but he could be more).

Dead white men have made way for women at Oxford: photographs of eminent women now hang in the hall of Hertford College and one of them is of Julia Briggs, the first female fellow at Hertford, in 1978, who was a great friend to Persephone Books (she lived round the corner in the Brunswick Centre) and is hugely missed.
She died in 2007 and alas hers is the only archive photograph, all the rest are new portraits. Photographs of other influential women, this time women over 55, are exhibited at Somerset House from October 2-26. Nancy Honey took the photographs. Hattie Garlick wrote the piece about the exhibition. .
The cushion, which is often on display in the shop window, is on the right: it was made from the strip of fabric left from Diana's curtains which we turned into a sausage-shaped cushion after it was photographed for the endpapers. Diana Athill is an inspiration to all of us about how to live one's life should we get to be in our Nineties, following the precepts of Jane Harrison in her excellent 1925 Hogarth Press volume Reminiscences of a Student's Life:
At Charleston it was fun and thrilling to meet both Tessa Hadley and Louisa Young; we had read and loved both their recent novels although alas this was quite hard to articulate over quiche and salad. Also, we had read both their books electronically; and are formulating a theory that one doesn't remember a book if read in this format (there will be a piece in the forthcoming Biannually on this subject). Fascinatingly, all five of the writers shortlisted for the BBC National Short Story Award are women (listen to the five shortlisted stories here ); the winner will be announced on Tuesday September 30th.
So it's been a busy fortnight interviewing potential interns and choosing five to come to us for periods ranging from a month to a week: everyone is so well-qualified and so charming that it is of course incredibly hard to choose, cf. Lucy Kellaway's piece about 'why graduate trainees are often the biggest brains'. Meanwhile the new Biannually and Catalogue are nearly ready to go to Lavenham Press, the printer we have used for fifteen years. After that we shall take a deep breath and mentally gear up for the busiest time of year in a bookshop.
We have been reading the new volume of David Kynaston's Modernity Britain 1959-62 . It is particularly good on planning issues, the beginning of the appalling destruction of homes and communities which was such a feature of the 1960s; the description is heartrending and germane, of course, to The Sack of Bath; the Duchess of Devonshire has died and although we deplore the Mitfords in general, The Pursuit of Love remains one of the best books ever and is always in 'fifty books we wish we had published' in the shop. Hadley Freeman wrote about the appeal of the Mitfords : it's a good piece even though we disagree with nearly everything she says; Annabel Munn who makes our beautiful mugs (a new delivery is just in) asked to be directed to a piece that Ned Beauman wrote about the First World War for a BBC World Service item called I Don't Remember the War. Here is the link to him reading it (scroll through to fifty minutes as his item is last – well, the other writers are good too, so maybe don't scroll through); talking of Germany, which we weren't exactly but (unfortunately) the war makes one think of it, there is an new exhibition about to open at the British Museum called Germany: Memories of a Nation and an accompanying radio series, and Simon Schama interviewed Neil MacGregor in the Financial Times Magazine; Kathy Lette said here that if she were queen for a day she would 'make vertiginous high-heeled shoes a fashion faux pas and flats totally desirable'. Quite. She would also make it law that men do half the housework. Quite again. And Catherine Bennett was funny about the pointlessness of updating smart phones when no one bothers to ensure domestic machines can be easily updated. The same argument applies to pregnancy sickness: if men were sick 'they' would be working on a palliative more coherent than dry biscuits and ginger (those of us who endured the same misery send many sympathetic thoughts to the Duchess of Cambridge).
Finally, the Standard said Holborn was the new Hoxton, which is quite hard to believe but would be nice for Lamb's Conduit Street.

Welcome to the Biggest Loser Blog for the 2011 competition! I am Sheena Elzie and I'm excited for the opportunity to share some insight on what goes on in the competition behind the scenes. This year's Biggest Loser competition will be a little different than before: I will be training with the contestants! I want to hear from you about your own personal journey! Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
This blog will also feature stories from contestants, recipes, and tips to help you at home as you journey along with our 30 Central Illinois Biggest Loser contestants. So add this to your favorites and follow along on Twitter (@CILBiggestLoser) and Facebook. The first weigh-in is coming up and I am very excited to meet this year's contestants!
It's hard to believe I'm already seeing a difference after two weeks in the gym! I've been getting alot of support, but everyone keeps asking me how I'm doing it. There's really no secret. I actually started dieting before the competition, and by the time Central Illinois Biggest Loser started I was already on my journey to losing 40lbs. Not there yet, but during the contest, we workout twice a week with the team, and I've been going to aerobics classes outside of that, so you end up working out about 5 days a week, but that's not the hard part.
There's dieting, my toughest challenge. Our trainers/nutritionists want us to keep a food log and basically write down everything you eat. The idea is by writing it all down you're more conscious of what you eat, and how much you eat. It's almost like keeping a budget. You can only eat so many calories based on you height, age, weight, or body mass index. I'm not a fan of counting calories, and am not always sure if I'm eating enough so here's a website that you can put on your phone that might help and do it for you, it's what our nutritionist recommends www.myfitnesspal.com
See you at the next work out!
We're 3 weeks in, and I'm starting to lose more inches. But not only am I working out at the gym in Decatur, I've been working with the contestants in Springfield, and Champaign. Each trainer has their own way of working out, but one thing I noticed that they all recommend is interval training. It's where you do short bursts of hardcore cardio, then weights or something low impact, and then keep switching it up. It's helped me to make the most of my workouts, and trainers say it keeps your metabolism going and heart rate up. A friend recently shared this with me and I thought it might help you too. The "100 workout" pictured is something you can try at home that's similar to the interval training we do at the gym.
Happy workout!
Can't believe we're already half way through the competition! Congrats to all the contestants still left for making it this far. And a BIG congrats to the Decatur Team for taking the team lead, and to Dave Kozlowicz of the Springfield team for losing the most individually so far! Nice work everyone! But we still have 7 more weeks to go, so now all we have to do is keep it off! Which seems to get tougher and tougher.
Personally, I'm keeping the weight off but not losing any more. It seems alot of the other contestants have also "hit a wall" too when it comes to weight loss. So here's what my trainer suggested, increase your cardio. After your group workouts stay longer on the treadmill, or work out twice a day to give your metabolism another kick start, and keep watching your calories. The food log on myfitnesspal.com has really helped me to keep track of everything I'm eating. Hopefully that helps and hopefully it works, because it's taking alot of hard work!

Thanks for the phone conversation today, I was pleasantly surprised that a Mayor Candidate would call a small business like mine. Look forward to hearing more about your vision and direction you think Fishers needs to take to enhance the economics of the entire community, not just the chosen few. I was glad to hear that you are in favor of supporting the schools and local businesses and when it comes to spending tax payer dollars it should be done

"Ni el oro ni la plata"
"La noche flamenca" (DVD)
Biography, discography,
Real Audio and readers' comments
A festival with flavor
Carlos Sánchez. Los Palacios (Seville),
18th to 23rd October 2004
Photos: Ayuntamiento de Los Palacios
The gamble taken by Festival de la Mistela four years
ago is paying off. With its new format of six consecutive
days, the event held in the town of Los Palacios y Villafranca
is looking to establish itself as one of the dates on everybody's
flamenco calendar. Over this period, this corner of Seville
province played host to artists of the caliber of Miguel
Poveda, Israel Galván, Lole Montoya, Calixto Sánchez,
Mayte Martín and Daniel Méndez, among others.
A wide-ranging bill, with a good balance between youngsters
and veterans, between vocalists, dancers and guitarists.
The frenetic activity of these six days of Festival de la
Mistela 2004 began in the classrooms. The opening bell was
rung on Monday 18th October with the start of the flamenco
dance course run by Israel Galván. The following day
saw the inauguration of a photographic exhibition by Colita
and Julio Ubiña, a study of the one and only Carmen
Amaya. The pictures take a journey through the bailaora's
career, including photos from the set of the movie 'Los
Tarantos'. In the words of the photographer herself:
"This exhibition bears witness to what a magnificent
person she is." Then in the evening, the first day's
performances saw two local artists take the stage. The Teatro
Municipal opened its doors to young bailaor Amador Rojas,
showing the festival's determination to strengthen and promote
local talent. Rojas was no disappointment, offering a highly
interesting performance. At midnight, a smaller club - 'Tertulia
Flamenca El Pozo de las Penas' - was the venue for cantaor
José Sánchez Triguero, Itoly. A grieving voice,
full of character, in touch with the roots of flamenco; a
voice that's won him many a coveted award. The small venue
feels like the perfect place for the artist to fulfill his
true potential.
Galván's dance was the curtain-raiser at the theater
on Wednesday. The bailaora from Seville opened with tarantos.
A traditional flamenco framework, but with a cutting-edge
approach. A clear reminder of the talent that runs in her
family. Evidently she's influenced by her brother Israel Galván's
dance: energy, intensity and flamenco. She rounded off 'por
tangos'. José Anillo relieved the bailaora, with a
malagueña borrowed from Enrique
el Mellizo. In the dreadful lighting - that persisted
throughout the festival - elegance was personified in the
figure of the 'Sevillana' in her orange bata de cola flamenco
dress. 'Por alegrías' now. She glides across the stage
with confidence and agility. With verve, with naturalness.
This is truly someone to watch.
The second part was Miguel Poveda's, a cantaor whose clarity,
wide-ranging talents and polished performances are enviable.
The vocalist from Badalona gave the finest recital of the
festival. A granaína blends into a milonga... and one
of the principal cantaores of the moment was in full swing.
He draws out and tightens up the lines of his malagueña,
with musicality, dominating the approach he represents. He
completed his performance with cantiñas, tonás
and bulerías.
The main course came on Thursday with the show 'Arena'
by Israel
Galván. An innovative, daring offering, with which
the bailaor from Seville scored a triumph just days earlier
at the Festival Bienal de Sevilla. Arena consists of six choreographed
pieces revolving around the bullfight, featuring special guest
artists such as Enrique Morente, Miguel Poveda, Diego Carrasco
and Diego Amador. An excellent show overflowing with symbolism,
in which the bailaor himself takes on the role of bull and
bullfighter alternately, bringing his fresh approach to a
tried and tested theme. Unfortunately there were problems
showing the video introductions to each of the pieces. But
nothing could eclipse the moments of magic, of reflection,
of acting and, above all, of baile.
Sold out
Montoya and Calixto
Sánchez were the only artists to sell out their
show. As the weekend arrived, the audiences packed out the
theater. The sweet, honeyed, silky voice of the cantaora began
the evening's proceedings. 'Todo es de color'
was the opening number of this flamenco romantic. Melodies
bathed in Arabian perfumes. The cantaora from Seville is still
in the limelight after more than thirty years of activity.
Solo now, though. "No somos distintos, somos semejantes"
(We aren't different, we're alike), say the new lyrics she
intersperses with other older lines. An arabesque feeling,
blending with flamenco. Bulerías 'del pajarillo' -
a tune that takes you back to a bygone era.
It falls to Calixto Sánchez to round off the night's
proceedings. A cantaor from the Mairena school, Boasting a
superb technique. The artist from Los Alcores performs each
of the cantes with split-second timing. Measured to the millimeter.
Whether or not you like his voice, his ability as a performer
is beyond question. Maybe you dismiss his work, but he has
the qualities of a fully-rounded cantaor. He doesn't flinch
at any style: tonás, malagueña... and he recites
a poem by Machado to the tune of a milonga. "Ya me arrancaste
señor lo que más quería" (lord
you took away from me what I loved most). He speaks of the
poet's sadness at the loss of his wife. He encroaches on the

Day of the ducks in Fall City
Hundreds of ducks poured from the crest of the Snoqualmie River bridge in Fall City on Saturday, Aug. 30, in the long-awaited 2008 Ducky Derby.
Originally postponed from its normal setting of Fall City Days in June due to high water, the Labor Day Weekend event drew a crowd along with the legion of bobbing rubber ducks.
The race takes about 10 minutes from start to finish, with the little rubber duckies powered by wind, current and the occasional leaf-blower.
Colin Fleisch, 8, and Jake Showers, 9, both of Fall City, each entered a duck. The secret to winning is luck, according to Jake, and possibly blowing on your duck, Colin said.

PULASKI, Va. (AP) -- Pulaski police say the body of an infant found in the Draper area has been identified as that of a missing 5-month-old boy.
Police told media outlets on Monday that the body is that of Cory Samuel Cole.
The infant had been missing for a week before searchers found his body Thursday night.
Police arrested the infant's father, 31-year-old Howard Samuel Cole of Pulaski, on a child-abuse charge Thursday morning.
Pulaski Police Chief Gary Roche tells The Roanoke Times that the investigation began when relatives came to the police station Tuesday afternoon. Relatives told police Cole and his son were missing and that the alleged abuse occurred Jan. 26.
He says police have not yet been told the cause of death.
Pulaski, Va. (WVVA) -- Results from the medical examiner's office will determine if the father of a missing five-month-old will be facing more charges.
Howard Cole of Pulaski was arrested Thursday morning on child abuse charges amidst a missing person investigation.
Pulaski, Va. (WVVA) Pulaski Police Chief Gary Roche says the body of an infant was found in Draper, Virginia near Interstate 81 matching the description of the five-month-old infant authorities had been searching for. Roche said he could not confirm the body was that of Cory Samuel Cole but that the age and size of the infant was consistent with their description.
The body was found during the investigation into Howard Samuel Cole, Cory Cole's father, who had allegedly abused his son on Sunday. An arrest warrant for Howard Cole was issued on Wednesday. He was arrested Thursday morning around 10:30 AM near the Walmart in Fairlawn.
Cory Cole was not with Howard at the time of the arrest. Police say Cory was last seen with his father Monday night.
Late Thursday night, police found an infant's body in a wooded area in Draper off Old Route 100. The body was taken to the medical examiner for identification.

"I coach kids ages 3-5. This year was basketball with toddlers so I got them shirt for there participation and hard work. Also the kids help design the shirt, and picked the colors."
"I run a youth wrestling and a youth field hockey program through our school and have ordered shirts for my teams the past three years. This was our first year running the field hockey program, and just like my wrestlers, the girls were SO excited to receive their shirts! The pink and purple was a big hit and I've seen them wear the shirts throughout the summer. They even got comments like "cool shirt" during camps and you can just see the pride in their faces. Thank you, Custom Ink, for being such a big part of our programs! They not only help us recruit others into our athletic programs, they help instill a sense of pride and accomplishment in our youth athletes when they're recognized!"
"We are coaching a youth sports development academy and the jerseys are being worn by the student athletes to preach unity and teamwork. We really love the look and the youngsters were very excited to wear their jerseys. Thanks CustomInk!"
"We have just reopened The Rink Inline Hockey Center and are so proud of our Novice Youth Program. We have a small staff and are very busy , but with Custom Ink's very fast, friendly and very helpful customer service dept. I am always able to pull off giving the kids a "reward" for their hard efforts! We always have kids coming in from other teams or new customers that have seen the kids from our program wearing their shirts proudly at school, etc. and want to buy one, but have to politely reply --- Sorry, cant buy it - ya gotta earn it, lol!!

Shower tile panel kit offers a quick and easy alternative to traditional tiling
"Our existing shower cubicle was tiled with three walls. The tiles had become grotty. I left the tiles in place and attached the panels over the top. I used two tubes of the Wickes recommended glue on each panel. I did not spread the glue, I made lines six inches apart from top to bottom on the old tiles. I put the corner pieces each end of the back panel and the side panels slotted in easily. Very satisfied with the finished result looks like a new shower and would thoroughly recommend. Very easy to wipe clean after showering."
"Product works well within the confines of a square shower, ours was larger than average and would have liked a joining strip so I could have 2 panels side by side. easy to fit and looks good now its in."

Here's the last of the four new Adventure Time art prints from Mighty Fine. This one's designed by Spencer Pearson and would look particularly good on your closet door or in your hallway by the thermostat. It's also available in T-shirt form for guys and dolls. Thanks, Spencer.

The Battle for Blount County. This is arguably one of the biggest high school football games in the state. It's played between Alcoa and Maryville. Both teams are nationally ranked and they have stadiums similar to what you'd see in FCS. Maryville won the game. It was cool to experience the atmosphere.

CVT Awarded European Union Grant for Work in Central and Eastern Africa
Minneapolis, MN—The Center for Victims of Torture (CVT) has been awarded a grant from the European Union (EU) to expand its treatment work in Central and Eastern Africa. This funding will increase mental health services to clients suffering from the effects of torture and war trauma as well as develop local capacity to sustain such healing treatment for the long run. CVT's work represents the organization's belief that healing the effects of torture is integral to the process of rebuilding a post-conflict society.
The European Union's European Instrument for democracy and Human Rights (EIDHR) awarded a grant of 1,499,466 euros ($1,988,000) to CVT to hire and train national psychosocial counselors (PSCs) to provide mental health services to clients in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and provide mental health services to clients suffering from experiences of torture or war trauma in the DRC This grant will also enhance the clinical capacity of local torture rehabilitation centers in Central and Eastern Africa, including Uganda, Kenya and Rwanda. The psychosocial counselors hired by CVT go through an intensive training program to become highly capable and skilled healers. The talents of the PSCs provide a lasting and able local resource. CVT also strives to bring attention to the prevalence and effects of torture in the community. The goal of community sensitization is to teach local leaders what they can do to help and to recognize cases were someone is suffering the effects of torture or war trauma.
The project is planned to run for three years and with initial progress being seen in PSCs being trained in Moba, DR Congo and the first cycle of clients are being treated, with additional PSCs to be hired in Pweto and Katanga, DRC to provide direct mental health services. Another aspect of the project is to enhance the clinical psychology program at the University of Lubumbashi, DRC. The project will make certain that clinical psychology students will be better prepared to serve torture survivors and that University faculty will be more effective teachers of clinical psychology in terms of torture rehabilitation. CVT is also working with local partner torture rehabilitation centers in Central and Eastern Africa to augment their clinical capacity.

O.J. Simpson has written a new book, "If I Did It," detailing how he, "hypothetically," would have murdered his wife and her lover. Simpson insists this is "pure fiction," and that he is still hunting down the "real killer." I was lucky enough to find some excerpts from the book and I've decided to let the world get its first taste.
"If I had actually done it I would have brought my good gloves that day. I would have thought it was shame they shrunk when I left them out on the patio, but I would have brought them just the same. They were my lucky gloves, and I would have needed them" cause I was going to stab my slut of a wife hypothetically."
"If I was there, I would tell you that the knife scratched my finger, "'Nobody spills the Juice!' I would have yelled. Then I stabbed them some more I mean I would have."
"I wasn't sure if they were bleeding or just pretending they were so I stabbed them a couple more times is what I would have done were I a murderer."
"I would have said, "Shit, now I got to go and get my car a carwash! Getting blood all over my door handle!" Then I would have gone back and stabbed them a few more times for making a mess. I'm pretty sure they would have learned their lesson, lol."
"It would be just my luck, if I went through all the trouble of bringing my cashmere gloves and lost them! That would have made me think of how forgetful I was, so then I would have gone back and stabbed them, just to make sure they was dead."
"And then I lay down, threw my bloodstained socks at the foot of my bed, and slept as cozy as a baby that had just stabbed two people to death if I had done it."
"Oh yeah, I did it. Can't do shit about it now. Suck it victim's families! God bless America!"

Being the ninja he is, Romeo knew the day would come.
The toddler's brilliantly choreographed battle has gone viral since father and filmmaker Patrick Boivin posted the video to YouTube on Friday, Nov. 2. As of Monday, it had exceeded 4 million views.
Drawing comparisons to Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris, baby Romeo knows there is only one way to properly slay a dragon.

As the April 3 NHL trade deadline approaches, speculation continues to swirl around Calgary Flames captain Jarome Iginla.
Sources have told TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger that Iginla submitted a list of four teams he would approve a trade to: the Pittsburgh Penguins, Boston Bruins, Chicago Blackhawks and Los Angeles Kings.
The Flames have taken the position of not commenting on the speculation.
The 35-year-old Iginla is in the final year of a three-year, $21 million deal and will be an unrestricted free agent following the season.
Through 29 games this season, he has eight goals and 13 assists for 21 points.
Drafted by the Dallas Stars in the first round (11th overall) in 1995, Iginla was traded to the Flames on Dec. 19, 1995, in exchange for Joe Nieuwendyk. He has played 1,217 regular season games for the Flames dating back to the 1996-97 season.
Martin St. Louis is a Ranger, Matt Moulson is a member of the Minnesota Wild and the Montreal Canadiens have Thomas Vanek. Look back at all the big name deals that went down.

I am thankful for an unlimited amount of blessings, but most grateful for the three people in the photo shown below! My son, husband and daughter are the light of my life and I am thankful to have a loving and supportive family! Lots of love and light to my Mother, Father, Brother, Sisters, Family and Friends!! <3
For the blessings I have received this year, I am grateful. Interestingly enough, I am most thankful for learning that when you begin to move within the purpose of your life, the universe conspires to meet your needs; what God has for you is yours. God will place you in the right place, at the right time, with the right people for your destiny to be achieved. I believe this with everything I am because I am living it right now; a walking, breathing, testifying witness to His grace.
I am also very grateful for all that has been removed from my life. As I reflect on my blessings today, I am humbled when I consider in hindsight all that He has saved me from… True story.
Today, join me in taking a moment to consider all that you have and be thankful for what you don't. May this Thanksgiving find you in fellowship with family, friends and in fond remembrance of those that watch us from the arms of God.
Happy Thanksgiving!!
