CINCINNATI -- Alex Gonzalez took advantage of his second chance to be a hero in extra innings.
A day after he failed to break an extra-inning tie, Gonzalez hit a run-scoring single in the 12th to give the Cincinnati Reds a 1-0 win over the Cleveland Indians on Sunday.
"Today I got the opportunity again and made it," Gonzalez said. "It is special."
The teams played 23 innings in fewer than 24 hours. The Indians won 8-6 in 11 innings Saturday night, and in that game, Gonzalez was robbed of his chance to break a 6-6 tie in the 10th. Indians outfielder Franklin Gutierrez crashed the right field wall to snare Gonzalez's deep fly ball that could have won the game.
On Sunday, Reds starter Aaron Harang held the Indians in check for seven innings, and the highly suspect Reds bullpen had one of its best outings as five relievers kept Cleveland scoreless the rest of the way.
Cleveland's C.C. Sabathia, bidding to become the majors' first 10-game winner, stifled the Reds through nine innings on three hits and one walk. He struck out six.
A defensive play by Josh Hamilton saved the game for the Reds. Marcus McBeth (0-1) got his first big league victory thanks to Hamilton's effort in the top of the 10th. Pinch runner Jason Michaels had gone to third on a passed ball, but Gutierrez flied to center and Hamilton threw out Michaels trying to score.
"You try to be even-keeled, but I was backing up home plate when he threw that guy out, and I was shouting and pumping my fist," McBeth said. "Right man, right spot, right time."
Cleveland manager Eric Wedge said it was a situation where Michaels had to be sent home.
"He (Gutierrez) didn't hit it well, but you hope for a bad throw," Wedge said. "When you play that long, you have to try."
Pinch hitter Chad Moeller started the 10th-inning rally with a one-out double, and Edwin Encarnacion was walked intentionally. Hamilton filed out, and Gonzalez singled up the middle, driving in Moeller.
He had just broken a 0-for-13 slump an inning earlier.
Although Gonzalez singled off Matt Miller, the run was charged to Aaron Fultz (3-1). It was his first loss since Aug. 31, at Washington, a span of 37 appearances.
"Without a doubt, it was our worst offensive performance-slash-effort of the year," Wedge said. "When you have the right approach, at least you have a chance. I didn't see that one time today.
"Our offense is better than this. You can get by with one guy not having a good approach, but not the whole team."
Sabathia, coming off his fifth career shutout, allowed just two hits -- doubles to Encarnacion and Adam Dunn -- through eight innings. Both were stranded at second.
"It was a tough loss," Sabathia said. "It's disappointing that we lost. That's more important than my own personal numbers."
The last time a game went into the 12th inning without a run was April 11, when the Detroit Tigers beat the Baltimore Orioles 4-1, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. All the runs came in the final frame.
- Indians 3B Casey Blake doubled in his first at bat, extending his career-high hitting streak to 19 games. That's Cleveland's longest streak since Marty Cordova hit in 22 straight in 2001.
- LHP Jeremy Sowers was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo the day after allowing five runs in four innings. Sowers (1-6) had a 6.93 ERA in 12 starts. The Indians recalled RHP Matt Miller.
- Ken Griffey Jr., who had homered in three consecutive games -- getting his 578th Saturday night -- did not start but pinch hit in the 11th.
- Sabathia singled twice. He leads all active AL pitchers in hits with 11.
- The Reds honored long-time broadcasters Marty Brennaman and Joe Nuxhall and the late Waite Hoyt before the game.

Penelope's Web by Susan Stanford Friedman
Book DescriptionPenelope's Web should appeal to a wide spectrum of readers interested in twentieth-century modernism, women's writing, feminist criticism, post-structuralist theory, psychoanalysis, autobiography, and women's studies. Published in 1991, it was the first book to examine fully the brilliantly innovative prose writings of H. D., the pen-name for Hilda Doolittle (1886-1961), who has been known primarily as a poet. Her prose, more personal, experimental, and postmodern than her poetry, raises central questions about the relation of women writers to language, desire and history. She suppressed in her lifetime many of these texts because of their daring exploration of her bisexuality and their radical critique of the social order. H. D.'s prose writings contribute importantly to the many histories and theories of modernism that are redrawing boundaries to include the achievement of women writers.

hey guys i have 1 bahamama moma starfish and he looks like he got nipped by one of my red emerald crabs. there is a small peice of him missing ( its about a square 1/8'' inch around) will he recover from this cause he has flattened out a bit and is not as active as he usually is?
any suggestions?
He should be ok, he's just bent outta shape right now cuz someone took a nip out of em.
are there any medicines i can get for him? should i place him in a quaratin net to protect him while he heals?
I wouldn't mess with him, they are fully capable of healing by themselves in short order. Providing he's not dinner anymore for the hermit.

Move Over iPhone, the Launch of New Samsung Galaxy IV Rumored to Feature Eye Control Including 'eye pause' and 'eye scroll'
Remember when Apple and Iphones used to come out with this type of ground breaking, cutting edge technology?
The new Samsung Galaxy rumored to feature eye control functionality including 'eye pause' and 'eye scroll'. The S4 which will let users scroll around apps and websites simply by moving their eyes. NICE! Other enhancements are that it is also expected to be powered by an eight core processing chip, compared to the iPhone's two, and to have a larger screen – 5in compared to 4.8in on the S3 and a 13 megapixel camera, as opposed to the iPhone's eight. The Samsung Galaxy is about to take a huge bite out of Apple.
The iPhone is to face its biggest challenge for supremacy in the smartphone market this week with the launch of the new Samsung Galaxy.
In what has been described as the most eagerly awaiting technology release of the year, the Galaxy S4 will be unveiled in New York on Wednesday and rumors are the device will feature eye control.
The S4's predecessor, the S3, already had a feature called Smart Stay that detected if users were looking at the screen.

Hypocrisy, Look Who Has Investments in Companies like Apple, GE & IBM that Outsource Jobs Overseas … Barack Obama of Course
For all his bad mouthing, for all his condemnation of Mitt Romney, Bain Capital and the misrepresentations and lies of outsourcing of jobs overseas, guess who has investments in some of the biggest US companies that outsource jobs overseas? Why that would the the "Carnival Barker" in Chief Barack Obama of course. Obama has accused Mitt Romney of profiting from companies that shipped jobs overseas, yet our dear leader has done the exact same thing. More than 30% of his income comes from overseas.
As reported at the Washington Examiner, Barack Obama has profited greatly from companies that have shipped jobs overseas. What's your response to this Barack, cat got your tongue? There is actually nothing wrong with investing in the Vanguard 500 Index Fund that contains outsourcing companies, the problem is you do not get to be two-faced and accuse another of something that you are doing yourself.
But Obama's own portfolio shows a willingness to invest in American corporations that have shifted employment overseas.
In his most recent financial disclosure from 2011, Obama and his wife reported having between $200,000 and $450,000 in the Vanguard 500 Index Fund, which invests in the largest U.S. corporations. According to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as of Sept. 30, 2011, the fund's biggest holding was 8,272,039 shares of Apple Inc., then valued at $3.2 billion.
The mutual fund that the Obamas have invested in also held 94,582,281 million shares of General Electric, valued at $1.4 billion, as of the SEC filing. The multinational conglomorate has a long history of outsourcing – according to a new book cited by the New York Times, in 1989, "G.E. became the first U.S. company to outsource software work to India." Obama also has close ties to GE's CEO, Jeffrey Immelt, who was appointed as chairman of his outside panel of economic advisers last year.
In addition to Apple and GE, the Obamas' fund listed 10,655,961 shares of International Business Machines, valued at $1.9 billion. As the Wall Street Journal reported in 2009, "The technology giant has been steadily building its work force in India and other locations while reducing the number of workers based in the U.S. Foreign workers accounted for 71% of Big Blue's nearly 400,000 employees.

Co-Founder of Apple Steve Jobs Dead at the Age of 56
Remembering that you are going to die, is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking that you have something to lose. You are already naked, there is no reason not to follow your heart. (Steve Jobs, 2005)
Steve Jobs: 1995 – 2011 … Rest in Peace
Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple has died at the age of 56. Sadly, we knew this day was coming as Jobs battled pancreatic cancer, but we just did not want to believe it. He recently stepped down from Apple and many knew that this day was inevitable. However, what this man did and his vision he brought forth in life … will last an eternity. What an amazing affect this man, who never graduated college, had on all of us and the world. His family said in a released statement by Apple, Mr. Jobs "died peacefully today surrounded by his family."
Watch Steve Jobs inspiration speech for the 2005 Stanford Commencement Address
Steve Jobs talks about death, "if you live each die as if it was your last, someday you will most certainly be right". Jobs would ask himself every day when he looked in the mirror, if today was the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" Whenever the answer was no for too many days in a row, Jobs knew he had to change something.
From the Boston Globe:
"He taught all of us how to transform technology into magic," said John Sculley, Apple's chief executive in the mid-1980s, and the man who once had Jobs kicked out of the company he'd co-founded.
After he was ousted, Jobs endured a decade of exile. But the experience taught him lessons that would, once he returned, help him lead Apple to unimaginable heights of achievement.
I remember my first Mac, actually it was a Macintosh, as I just dated myself. Typing away and trying to finish my senior thesis for history. I look back on that experience and am in awe just how far we have come in the PC world and just how before its time that Mac really was. Oh those days of the floppy disk.
Steve Jobs, you will be missed, Rest in Peace.
UPDATE I: From Michelle Malkin comes an interesting and appropriate analysis in the face of the anti-capitalist rallies in NYC and across the US juxtaposed to the passing of Steve Jobs. What would the world be like without the vision o Steve Jobs, are we supposed to be upset that he made money fro his visions and hard work? Not in the slightest.

Do you long to create a life you love, but groan at the presumed impossibility of building and maintaining a successful career, having a fulfilling personal life, and also having health and happiness?
Are you laughing just reading that?
Well, you wouldn't be alone. So many women find themselves in a daily struggle (or full out war) with the thought of 'having it all' – a fabulous career, a happy healthy life and perhaps even some semblance of balance thrown in for good measure.
It can make you sigh just thinking about it, or let's be honest, throw things at the wall, scream at whoever is within ear shot, and just generally pull your hair out.
But it can be done. I have made every mistake in the book: I have been a chronic workaholic, been drastically ill, and burnt out, miserable and overwhelmed. But I discovered through my research, study and through living it, that there is another way. And I know this to be true, because I have spent the best part of the last decade working out how to do it.
"Getting Real About Having It All: Be Your Best, Love Your Career and Bring Back Your Sparkle" is about helping you create the career and life you love, and live it well.
I am not here to tell you what having it all looks like – the answer is different for everyone. What I would love to do is help you discover what it means for you, and help you find some answers to the following burning questions that I have heard from thousands of women who are working to create the life they want to live:
These are some of the things I wanted when I began my journey. And they are the questions that so many women tell me they are seeking solutions for. Most of us want to feel connected, inspired, purposeful, well and thriving. And you can. It may take some work, and it will definitely take a big dose of getting real, but it is possible.
I would love you to come on this journey with me. It is a journey of fun and laughter, of delving into who you already are and what you really want. And it is a journey of creating the life you really, truly, want to live, living it well and loving it.
Are you ready?
"Megan Dalla-Camina, who manifests a positive, life-enhancing style of leadership in her own work and life, gives helpful insight into how a woman can tap her potential. Especially useful are her observations on how to make the most of the new brain science that addresses re-patterning unhelpful approaches, and her focus on 'do the right thing, not the easy thing'. A refreshing approach to the issue of leadership for women."
"Megan Dalla-Camina is that rarest of writers: she intimately understands the workings of both the human mind and the world of business and writes with passion about where those two intersect. This book is immensely readable and hugely valuable. Whether you want to understand yourself or build a meaningful career this is the book you need to read."
Terry Robson
Co-Editor WellBeing Magazine, Author, Broadcaster
"An holistic book that is uplifting and loaded with easy to follow information on how to bring out your personal best, shape your life into the one you want and build a career that is perfect for you so you never have to feel like you're working another day in your life! A thoroughly enjoyable read - I looked forward to picking it up every day. Megan has a fantastic writing style!."

This proposal aims at elucidating the epigenetic control of embryonic stem cell (ESC) commitment to the skeletal muscle lineage and further maturation into differentiated myotubes in response to the extra-cellular signal-activated p38 pathway. We will elucidate the mechanism by which the SWl/SNF chromatin remodeling component BAF60c (encoded by SMARCD3) enables MyoD to convert ESCs into the myogenic lineage and will characterize the molecular basis by which the p38 signaling coordinates gene activation and repression in ESC-derived muscle progenitors through the genome re-distribution of two distinct chromatin-modifying complexes - the SWI/SNF and the Polycomb group (PcG) complexes. We will also perform high-throughput screening (HTS) to identify compounds that sensitize ESCs to adopt the skeletal muscle lineage, via induction of endogenous BAF60c expression. The following are specific aims.
Aim 1. To elucidate the mechanism by which BAF60c enables MyoD to convert ESC into muscle progenitors (ESC BAF60c/MyoD). 1a- Perform gene expression profiling and genome-wide chromatin analysis in hESCs committed to the myogenic lineage by the ectopic expression of MyoD and BAF60c. 1b. Characterize the function of BAF60c in the myogenic commitment of hESCs.
Aim 2. To characterize the response of ESC BAF60c/MyoD to the p38 signaling. 2a- Analyze the p38-mediated recruitment of SWI/SNF complex to the chromatin of muscle differentiation genes in ESC BAF60c/MyoD. 2b Analyze the p38-dependent repression of Pax7 in ESC BAF60c/MyoD.
Aim 3. To identify compounds that implement ESC conversion to the myogenic lineage, via BAF60c induction. 3a- Analyze the epigenetic profile of the BAF60c locus and characterize the BAF60c promoter during hESC transition to muscle progenitor cells. 3b- Use BAF60c promoter-GFP reporter and high- throughput screening (HTS) to identify compounds that induce BAF60c in ESCs. We anticipate that the knowledge gained from this research will contribute to identify strategies that implement stem cell-based regeneration of diseased muscles. Overall, our proposed research will reveal targets for novel interventions directed to the interface between intracellular signaling pathways and downstream epigenetic modifications, for a pharmacological control of muscle stem cells.
This proposal aims at elucidating the epigenetic basis that control human embryonic stem cell (hESC) commitment to the skeletal myogenic lineage, their further maturation into differentiated muscles, and their response to extra-cellular signals. The ultimate goal of this proposal is to identify novel targets for strategies that manipulate stem cells to regenerate diseased muscles. We predict that the results gathered from this proposal will contribute to fill the gap between our current knowledge of stem cell biology and the mechanism by which stem cells reprogram their genome toward specific cellular lineages in response to extrinsic signals. This information is critical for the pharmacological manipulation of hESC to generate tissue progenitors and devise strategies in regenerative medicine, such as stem cell-based regeneration of diseased muscles. An additional benefit that will derive from this proposal is the potential discovery of the epigenetic basis underlying the different responsiveness to external cues in hESC-derived muscle progenitors vs adult muscle stem cells (satellite cells). This comparison will help to optimize regenerative strategies from exogenous (hESC) or endogenous (satellite cells) sources of muscle progenitors.

Pulled Chicken Sandwiches with Homemade BBQ Sauce
We love pulled pork sandwiches in our house, but I don't always love working with pork. I do admit to loving the taste and making a huge 5 pound pork butt is easier than any week night meal. And I know that pork is the "other" white meat, but I just don't like eating it that often.
I do make a really good pulled turkey recipe that I discovered over ten years ago in Sara Foster's The Foster's Market Cookbook, but like the pork, it takes hours to cook. This recipe is great fall dish when the weather is cooler and turning the oven on for 3 to 4 hours is no big deal. I have been searching for a pulled chicken recipe and alas, I finally found one over at The Comfort of Cooking. Georgia uses a dry rub to marinate her chicken and I think it is the rub that gives the chicken it's tenderness.
I use organic, grass fed chicken from Whole Foods. For this dish, I don't purchase the boneless, chicken breasts. Instead, I get the chicken breasts with the ribs attached. I then ask the butcher to remove the ribs. The breasts without bones tend to dry out on the grill. The taste, using the chicken in this way, is significantly different. If you don't use your butcher at your local supermarket, you are missing out! They are always so accommodating, friendly, and they love their meats and poultry.
I have altered the rub just a bit and use my own homemade barbecue sauce to coat the chicken after it is grilled. Last week, I even made my own buns using Carrie's hamburger bun recipe and they were delicious. I am going make a huge batch of these and freeze them for future grilling! I like to serve these sandwiches with an Asian cole slaw or a broccoli slaw. We use left over chicken and make BBQ chicken pizza the next day! At your next barbeque, make these instead of your traditional burger. Your guests will give praise to the cook!
Pulled BBQ Chicken Sandwiches
Yield: 6-8 sandwiches
3 tablespoons coconut oil
2 tablespoons sucanat or dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon paprika
1 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon Celtic sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 1/2 cups of BBQ sauce
2 pound chicken breast with skin + ribs attached (ask the butcher to remove the ribs)
Instructions: Combine the oil and spices for the marinade. Place chicken in a shallow, glass baking dish (I use a Pyrex). Rub the marinade on both sides of the chicken. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Preheat your grill. Grill chicken on indirect heat, about 20-30 minutes. We check the chicken by cutting through the center and tasting. When no longer pink, it's ready.
Remove skin from chicken. Place breasts on a cutting board and shred using two forks. Place shredded chicken in a large bowl. Wet chicken with BBQ sauce of your choice. Serve a little sauce on the side.

Put 2 cups of the corn and the milk into a blender or food processor, until smooth. Set aside.
Heat the oil in a large soup pot over a medium-high heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and zucchini and cook, stirring until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining 2 cups of corn and the broth and bring to a boil. Add the pureed corn and tomatoes and cook until warmed through, but not boiling. Add the salt and season with pepper. Serve garnished with the basil ribbons.

Roger Federer booked his place at next month's season-ending ATP Tour Finals in London with a straight-sets victory over South African Kevin Anderson in the Paris Masters.
Federer came through 6-4, 6-4 to set up a third round meeting with Germany's Philipp Kohlschreiber, who had earlier beaten 11th seed Tommy Haas to progress. With his qualification for the eight-man tournament at London's O2 Arena assured, the Swiss will now try to win the event for a record seventh time.
Earlier, compatriot Stanislas Wawrinka kept his hopes of qualifying for the first time, after a battling 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 victory over Spain's Feliciano Lopez. Wawrinka served 19 aces and prevailed in under two hours at Bercy, but had to make a quick recovery after a losing the second set.
Wawrinka started the week eighth in the ATP Race to London, with his victory meaning the Spaniard Nicolas Almagro misses out. Two places are still available, with Nadal, Novak Djokovic, David Ferrer, Juan Martin del Potro, Federer and Tomas Berdych having already qualified.Reuse content

Painful bladder syndrome/interstitial cystitis (PBS/IC) is a disease with unknown etiology, which presents clinically as urinary urgency, frequency, and bladder associated pain. PBS/IC has a devastating psychological and social impact on quality of life, and currently has no effective treatment. The clinical challenge for diagnosis and treatment of PBS/IC is certainly a reflection of the lack of basic scientific knowledge about bladder nociception, i.e., its peripheral origination, transmission, and central nervous system mechanisms. Although basic scientific studies have revealed the important role of the parasympathetic (pelvic nerve) C-fiber afferent pathway in bladder nociception, little is known about the role of the sympathetic (hypogastric nerve) afferent pathway that also innervates the bladder and generates afferent firing during bladder distension/irritation. However, clinical reports showed that blockade of the sympathetic afferent pathway could significantly relieve visceral pelvic pain including PBS/IC symptoms. Furthermore, bladder sensation/pain could still be elicited in human subjects with destroyed sacral spinal cord or transected sacral spinal roots, indicating an important role of sympathetic afferent pathways. In this grant application we will focus our studies on the sympathetic afferent pathway to close the gap between clinical evidence and basic scientific knowledge about bladder nociception. Our studies will determine the function of the sympathetic afferent pathway in bladder control and nociception, determine the properties of chemo-sensitive sympathetic nociceptive bladder afferent fibers, and define the brain projections of these afferents. A new nociceptive bladder reflex from hypogastric afferent nerves to pelvic efferent nerves will be analyzed for the first time. These studies will open a new field of research and dramatically change our current understanding of bladder overactivity, frequency, urgency, incontinence, and more importantly bladder nociception. Determining the role of the sympathetic afferent pathway in bladder nociception will promote the development of new diagnostic methods and effective treatments targeting the neurotransmitters/receptors in this pathway. The success of our proposed studies will significantly benefit millions of Americans suffering from PBS/IC.
Painful bladder syndrome/interstitial cystitis (PBS/IC), which has a devastating psychological and social impact on quality of life, has an unknown etiology and ineffective treatments. Our project which will reveal the neurophysiological mechanisms and neuroanatomy underlying bladder nociception could promote the development of new diagnosis methods and effective treatments and significantly benefit millions of Americans suffering from PBS/IC.

- //Marilyn Manson
Marilyn Manson has referred to his band's latest release as their version of the White Album. At 19 tracks and nearly 70 minutes, Holy Wood may rival The Beatles' most intriguing record in sheer bulk, but it's hardly comparable in composition. The Beatles' classic is sprawling, schizophrenic, rarely coherent, and reveals its creators' disillusionment with the '60s and each other through its artistic disarray; Manson's latest, on the other hand, is a very calculated concept album intended as a statement on violence in modern society and the role that the media and Manson himself have played in it.
Rather than implicate himself as the protagonist in the Holy Wood story, Manson has created a character called Adam Kadmon. According to Manson, the album is one of three works (the others are an upcoming novel and film) that tell the story of Kadmon, an outsider who finds acceptance in the mythical Holy Wood, only to be engulfed by violence and consumed by his own fame. It's difficult to assess the narrative's effectiveness without the book and the film, but the album doesn't tell much of a story, instead presenting variations on the same themes: God, isolation, guns, and death.

Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death)

US: 14 Nov 2000
UK: 13 Nov 2000
Still, it's interesting to hear Manson's commentaries, because they seem to address accusations, raised in the wake of the Columbine massacre, that his music may be responsible for violence. Manson points the accusing finger right back at society, citing society's hunger for violence and the media's eagerness to dish it out. Using the example of John F. Kennedy's assassination, Manson sneers on "Lamb of God": "If you die when there's no one watching / Then your ratings drop and you're forgotten / But if they kill you on their TV / You're a martyr and a lamb of God".
Musically, Manson's band is tighter than ever and seems to have found a balance between the abrasive sound of Antichrist Superstar and the glam-rock tendencies of Mechanical Animals. While not terribly original (Ministry and Nine Inch Nails did similar but better work years ago), the music is often effective, as on the searing "The Fight Song" and "Disposable Teens", which, along with "The Nobodies" comes closest to addressing Columbine head-on in lines like: "We are the nobodies / We wanna be somebodies / When we're dead / They'll know just who we are".
The central flaw of Holy Wood is that the power of its message, an important and provocative one, is watered down by its artistic pretensions. While Holy Wood is often affecting, it would be a better album if it was shorter and dealt with its subject matter directly, instead of through the veil of the "concept album".

Some Scots, it is said, have a simple default position in terms of football support during major tournaments. They naturally back their national team, but in the unlikely event that Scotland fail to qualify or take an early bath, their support devolves to "whoever's playing England" – in the case of tonight's match at Rustenburg in South Africa, the US.
Travel companies in Scotland, Wales, Ireland and, indeed, England take this position one stage further: they are never happier than when all the home nations fail to make the finals. In the event that one or more team scrape through, they pray for an early exit from the competition.
While the hearts of some holiday-firm bosses may urge Fabio Capello's team towards glory, their heads (and their finance directors) long for ignominious defeat at the hands of an unfancied opposition in the group stage. So America, Algeria and Slovenia will be earning some unexpected moral – or amoral – support from the UK travel industry.
The problem is: our profound human desire to explore the planet, unlock its wonders and meet fascinating strangers is supplanted during big sporting events by a more tribal need to sit in a pub, drink strong lager (such as Tennent's, known to Scottish fans as "Vitamin T") and collectively watch match after match played out on a big screen, baying or bragging appropriately.
Nowhere on the planet – except perhaps plucky North Korea – will be free of the wall-to-wall coverage of the world's biggest sporting event over the next four weeks. If you happen to be a fan, what could be more pleasurable than watching England's match against Algeria in the Algarve or the Slovenian game in Patrick's Irish pub in Ljubljana (address: Precna ulica 6, pint of Strongbow: €4)?
Plenty, according to the travel trade. "A major sporting event, just as the industry is getting back on its feet, is about the last thing anybody in the business wants," a very senior figure in the UK travel industry tells me.
"We want to get holidaymakers away as soon as possible, but people won't book until England get knocked out." Or, dare I suggest it, repeat the nation's triumph in our World Cup of Holiday Destinations.
My source has one World Cup wish: "We'd like our guys to be home before the postcards."
You may despise football, but for the next month you can profit from the "beautiful game". For departures between now and mid-July, prices are amazingly low. The timing of the World Cup could hardly be worse for travel firms – by the time the competition finishes, four weeks tomorrow, schools will start to break up and holiday companies will have no difficulty filling aircraft seats or hotel beds. But right now it's tough for the tour operators, and great for the holidaymakers.
Yesterday, as the tournament began, an Airbus full of Thomas Cook passengers from Birmingham flew off to enjoy a week's holiday in Marmaris, Turkey, for £169 – including flights, transfers and a three-star hotel with breakfast. If you have no plans for this coming Monday, Thomson will take you from Gatwick to Corfu, with a week's self-catering accommodation, for £153 per person (based on two sharing). Many more deals will be up for grabs in the weeks ahead.
*** If you yearn to be in South Africa, plenty of flights and hotels are unsold – as well as tickets for many matches on the official Fifa website. Tickets for the final on 11 July in Johannesburg are "currently not available"– which is not the same thing as "sold out".
BA and SAA have seats from Heathrow before the big match, returning five days after, for only £725 return. And Johannesburg's Backpackers Ritz has doubles for £110, including breakfast – and a sense of history in the making.
The way we played in the summer of 66
As is traditional at such times, let us look back to 1966 – not to argue about the "Russian" linesman (actually the official was from Azerbaijan), who allowed a controversial third goal for England, but to consider how and where we travelled. Britannia Airways (now Thomson Airways) would take you on a slow, uncomfortable plane from Luton or Gatwick to a scattering of Mediterranean sunspots, sometimes as part of a package sold by one of the leading inclusive holiday brands of the time, Gaytours.
Transatlantic travel was barely a prospect for most people; for someone earning the average wage, it took about 10 weeks to save enough for a London-New York return flight (the current time required at the national minimum wage is about a week).
The vast majority of Brits stayed at home, watching the football in black-and-white. But at least no one had coined that awful term "staycation".

Stephen F.wrote a review of Patagonia Adze Softshell Jacket - Men's on October 25, 2012
Couldn't be more in love
Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This jacket is thin, and thus lightweight; however, rest assured, I have never been as warm in a jacket of this thickness! It is made of a fantastic material. I took it through the rain last night, didn't get wet - you can shake the water droplets right off once you take it off. I bike to my classes in the mornings in Colorado, and it keeps me perfectly warm as I bike in mid 30s to low 40s kinda weather. I am an average sized male (5'11", 145lbs, average slimness) and this jacket in a medium fits ideally.

I have a Philips home theater system since ages . The wires supplied with the system weren't enough so I had to spend some money to extend them . Also , the weird function that the system doesn't work without the remote has made my system redundant as I have misplaced my remote and have given up trying to get the replacement from the dealers suggested by the call centers . A great product nonetheless but going to waste as Philips is unable to supply the remote ; anyone from Philips listening ? If yes then get back to me at 01883285141; only if you want to supply me the remote !Read less Read more
Philips was perhaps down on the list after sony samsumg LG when it comes to home theatre systems. But it is definatley worth the price. It is cheaper, ffers comparale sound quality if not great. The best part is the size which is efficient and not too big. Sadly philps is leaving this market!
it is a very good home theater system which produces nice and crisp sound. the sound qaulity is just amazing and it is very easy to setup. it is a very affordable home theater system and is very easy to setup. it gives good surround sound and theater experience

Inspired by the Padlette and the HelloStrap, I wanted to make my own handle for a good grip on my tablet.
This one is intended to be cheap, really easy to make and adjustable to any device.
What you'll need:
- A 30cm (12inches) long piece of nylon strap ; maybe more for biggest tablets, mine is 9,4"
- 2 strap buckles
- 2 rubber toric joints diameter 4cm (1.6 inches) (the use of flat joints might be a better choice though)
That's all folks!
ps: Sorry for bad spelling/grammar/vocabulary but english's not my mothertongue. I could add steps and instructions to make it but I thought the photos were self explanatory.
Tell me what you think in the comments.


text: 000 FXUS63 KFGF 222153 AFDFGF Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Grand Forks ND 353 PM CST Wed Feb 22 2017 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday) Issued at 345 PM CST Wed Feb 22 2017 Water vapor loop indicated a short wave over southeast ND with a jet on the south side or over SD. Visible satellite loop indicated clearing over north central ND. So expect some clearing overnight mainly northern valley. Radar indicated rain and snow over the southern zones mainly south of a line from Kelliher MN to Valley City ND. Precip was moving to the east southeast at 15 to 20 knots. Precip should move out of the area this evening. Precipitable water decreases overnight. Little change to temps for tonight and Thu. .LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Wednesday) Issued at 345 PM CST Wed Feb 22 2017 On Thursday night through Friday, a strong Colorado Low brings heavy snow across the Central Plains. Fortunately, a majority of the operational models agree that this system will bring less than an inch of snow, if any, across the far southern Red River Valley and adjacent portions of west central Minnesota. If any snow showers do develop, gusty north winds will likely reduce visibility in these areas. Additionally, with temperatures falling through Saturday, gusty north winds will bring wind chills as low as the single digits below zero on both Friday and Saturday mornings. Temperatures will bottom out Saturday morning with lows in the single digits to middle teens. Over the weekend, temperatures will be near normal values for February with highs in the 20s to lower 30s. With a few shortwave disturbances passing through aloft, could see some light snow showers or flurries throughout the weekend, but little impact is expected. Looking into the middle of next week, several models indicate strong Colorado Low moving through the Plains. While confidence is low in this system`s track at this time, blended model guidance does indicate better chances of measurable precipitation over the forecast area so will stick with this for now. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday afternoon) Issued at 108 PM CST Wed Feb 22 2017 IFR conditions were mainly over the southern Red River Valley. Much of the rest of the Red River Valley was MVFR. Some VFR conditions were moving into the far northern valley. Expect MVFR to IFR conditions over the southern and western Red River Valley for this afternoon through Thu. && .FGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... ND...None.

She is CNN's biggest gun, its very public weapon, sent to cover the biggest and most dangerous stories. And because the station is broadcast to 184 million households in 210 countries and territories, Amanpour, half-English, half-Iranian, born in Britain, is the most recognised reporter on the planet, and its highest-paid.
There are no statistics about how many watch CNN, though "international news", a concept of minimal interest to Americans and not hugely popular with Brits, goes down a lot better with foreigners, especially those living under repressive or censorious regimes. But it is a fair bet that many millions will catch their first glimpse of a victorious - or suicidal - Mr Blair on CNN. And we can expect the White House to learn the result from CNN, for the audience includes a disproportionate share of movers and shakers. The station operates as official wallpaper in Washington and numerous other capitals, making Amanpour well-known to the world's leaders. (This can be irritating for her colleagues: I have been in press packs where the visiting dignitary ignores everyone else and homes in on Amanpour, to a soundtrack of mass tooth-grinding.) In 1994, Alain Juppe, then the French foreign minister, recognised Amanpour at a press conference and came over to shake her hand; she has also dined at the White House, despite (or perhaps because of) a live television spat with Bill Clinton, whom she accused of "flip-flopping" over Bosnia.
CNN blows the Amanpour trumpet with a vengeance. "I wanted to make a statement about how seriously we take the story, and I can't see a better way of making a serious statement than playing your aces high," says Chris Cramer, the former BBC news supremo who runs CNN International, the channel broadcast outside the United States. "This story is important not just for our UK audience, and not just for our European audience but our international audience, and important means Christiane."
When I told her this over dinner, she practically choked on her watercress salad. She emphasises and re-emphasises the fact that CNN has a huge team working the election, and pointing out that Richard Blystone, the senior correspondent in the UK, will be anchoring the election special. She suggests that I interview him about CNN's coverage. But in the end, she accepts Cramer's point: that although she is best-known as a war reporter, for Bosnia, the Gulf, Somalia and Rwanda, as the station's chief international correspondent, she does indeed cover the big stories, those with "the possibility of changing the political atmosphere". These include the most recent elections in Russia, Israel and Bosnia, for example.
She has also been drafted in for her unquestioned ability to speak coherently into the void - or, as it is formally known, to file a live report. Some critics complain of garbled syntax, but at least Amanour never leaves a vacuum, and normally sounds intelligent and coherent.
Her assignment in the UK is to follow the Labour party on election night and the comings and goings at Number 10 the next day. This assumes that Labour will grant Amanpour a decent spot on the night - the party refuses to say anything about the Leader's movements or about access to him, but is keen to portray its "openness" to foreign media.
CNN's only global rival, BBC World, the televisual arm of the World Service, will run its own election special, anchored by Tim Sebastian and tailored for an international audience. CNN's domestic channel will provide the bulk of British election coverage available in the United States. The other US networks have a half-hour show a night, CNN has 24 hours.
In contrast to the hordes of British crews flown to the US for a presidential election, ABC, NBC and CBS are making do with reports from their London bureaux. American viewers are likely to see perhaps three or four pieces in total - one or two during the campaign, and one or two around election night. But the country's print media has taken an unusual interest in the vote. Maureen Dowd, a commentator with the New York Times, has for the first time chosen to write on a British election, to observe "the man would be Prime Minister pulling off an unusual trick, cloning himself from a clone ... At least we Americans have the original opportunist".
Amanpour, who is entitled to vote but is not registered - she has lived abroad for many years, but is considering a permanent move to London - declines to give an opinion on the candidates. She is not a specialist on the British political scene (despite being described by The Mirror as "an Essex girl" because her school, New Hall, is in the county), but she feels confident of her ability to pick up the ball on election night. The vote "is really important, it has great implications, it's really interesting, it can be dramatic but it's a story, and any reporter knows how to cover a story", she says. "It's not brain surgery."
Dowd emphasises Amanpour's credentials as a commentator of the American political scene rather than an expert surveyor of the British version. "Americans are particularly interested because there have been so many comparisons of Tony Blair to Clinton, and because so many of his staff worked on the Clinton campaign," she explains.
There is a similar tale in France, which is running an election of its own. The French and German press have covered the campaign extensively, probing the extent of Britain's "economic miracle" and its general hipness. But again, the story is not as popular with broadcasters, although France Deux, the higher-brow French station, is planning a 20-minute election special just after the polls close. Officials in Bonn, however, are likely to have at least one eye on CNN during the election.
So far this year, Amanpour has worked in Israel, Bulgaria, South Africa, Sierra Leone, Zaire and Bosnia. Her next assignment, which will take her back to her other roots, is to cover the Iranian presidential election, in May. In reporting on the campaign, she may actually have the chance to do what she is best at: going out and asking the punters what they think and feel.
What she would really like to do in the UK is interview the wives: it would be fascinating to know what Norma and Cherie are thinking. But her main concern, scarred and enlightened as she is by her experience of the war in Bosnia, is how the election result will affect foreign policy in the post-cold war world, how it will address the "small but potentially devastating fires" breaking out. "In a way, our world was a much safer place during the past 50 years, because people knew who was who. Now there are no parameters ... well, very few." She fears that the West has not learnt its lesson in Bosnia: "The danger is that others will be tempted to change borders by aggression, and to commit genocide with impunity."
Amanpour conveyed the pity and the evil of such a war, and was one of those reporters - dismissed as the "do-something brigade" - who made the British position of neutrality in the conflict seem wrong, if not wicked.
It is claimed, in one press profile, that correspondents are given to chanting: "Where there's war, there's Amanpour". But that is clearly wrong. If it were true, she'd be covering the Conservative Partyn
