Lahore: Aug 15, 2012
Serious doubts have emerged over Younis Khan's ODI career after the national selectors decided to "rest" him for the series against Australia, with apparently only the national team coach, Dav Whatmore speaking in his favour at the selection committee meeting.
"Only Whatmore spoke out on the need to have an experienced batsman like Younis in the side as he pointed out that Pakistan still needed their senior players around," a source said.
The selectors met on Monday in Lahore and decided to rest Younis and senior pacer Umar Gul from the One-day series.
Younis, who has scored 6824 runs in 245 ODIs at an average of 32.18, has struggled for form in his last 10 One-day Internationals, scoring just 97 at an average of 10.77 that included a half-century.
On Pakistan's last tour to Sri Lanka, Younis had scored just 10 runs in four matches.
The source said that when the selectors decided not to include Younis in the ODI squad, Whatmore spoke in his favour but vice-captain, Mohammad Hafeez kept quiet throughout the discussion.
"But when the selectors discussed the recent batting form of Younis in ODIs, Whatmore also went silent," the source added.
Sources claimed that Younis's One-day career might have come to an end particularly with Azhar Ali now replacing him at the number three slot in the ODI team for the series against Australia.
A well-informed source said that chief selector, Iqbal Qasim also had a discussion with Younis regarding his ODI career before taking the decision to "rest" him so that he was not caught unaware by the announcement.
Interestingly even captain Misbah-ul-Haq didn't insist on Younis's selection before leaving for Sri Lanka to play in the premier league matches.
Younis has been criticised for his slow batting in ODIs for the last few years and his last century in this form of the game also came in November 2008 against the West Indies at Abu Dhabi.
But former chief selector Mohsin Khan disagreed with the selectors decision, saying, "You need to show confidence in the senior players when they are struggling and this move might damage his confidence.
The former Test batsman, who was replaced by Whatmore as coach in March despite a successful record, said he would not have dropped Younis for the simple reason that he was a very good influence in the dressing room and a fighter to the core.
"He is a great example for the younger players and a complete team man. That is why I would have given him another chance to regain his form and confidence. We still need his experience," Mohsin said.
He also said that the current bunch of selectors should have kept in mind that Younis has a good track record against strong oppositions and was likely to bounce back to form against Australia.
"He (Younis) is a quality and fearless player of pace and that will be required against Australia."
Meanwhile, another Former Test player, Basit Ali also came out in defence of Younis, saying that the selectors' decision is a short sighted one.
"I am surprised because even the selectors know that Younis got some bad decisions recently against Sri Lanka. He is a big hearted man and this quality would be needed against Australia. But I am sure he will bounce back as he has done in the past," said Ali. (PTI)

I mustache you a question, when you drafted, were you Axfording a hard time from your closer? Then you got it. John Axford finally was removed from the closer role. Francona said, "I've seen crap before, but Assford demonstrated a whole new level of excrement." Or something to that effect. I'm not one for details. Axford was replaced by the committee of author Bryan Shaw, Nick at Nite star Cody Allen and The RZE. That's also the order I'd pick them up. There's prolly no reason to mess with The RZE, especially after he was treated like Jodie Foster in The Accused yesterday. Speaking of The RZE, Method Man and Raekwon forgot one way to torture their opponents when they talk about rusty screwdrivers and whatnot. "I'll hack your fantasy team and pick up John Axford and leave him in your active lineup and let him keep feeding you terrible stats, and feeding you, and feeding you and feeding you." Now, that's gangster. There's a good chance Axford never sees another save this year. Collective wisdom says Cody Allen will be the closer, but collective wisdom also said Obama was going to make a difference. Yesterday, the Indians set up the game so Shaw would be the closer, whereas Allen's one save came when Axford was garbage and Shaw had already been used. Anyway, here's what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:

The Buysellatops left this message on my answering machine (what, I'm old school), "The earth is fourteen degrees hotter per year than when I freely roamed the countryside. Back then there were T-Rex's and velociraptors and iguanas the size of houses that we simply called Biguanas. Now, I'm the only dinosaur left and I can get a nice tan while waiting in line for a smoothie. Global warming is awesome! And so is Anthony Rizzo." So, there you have our buy/sell-out dinosaur's take. My take is I agree. Who doesn't love a smoothie and a tan? Rizzo isn't a Ike Davis head case that gets into the passenger seat to drive. He's in no danger of falling completely off the map like he's taking orders from Queen Isabella. He's A) Getting unlucky B) Keeping his strikeouts and walks in check C) There's no C, why are you so greedy? With the gusts of wind and heat in Wrigley this summer, he could hit 10 homers in the matter of two weeks. If he hits less than 30 homers this year, I'll eat my hat (though I'm wearing a fruit basket on my head, so it's not so bad). To give you a few other names, he's already better than Pujols and A-Gon on our Player Rater, and I see no reason why that should stop. If you have a Rizzo owner who is worried, take your alligator blood and check raise to the bettor. Anyway, here's some more players to Buy or Sell this week in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Yasiel Puig was scratched yesterday with a strained shoulder, suffering the injury during batting practice. Look at him, making himself feel right at home with the Dodgers. Next thing you know, he's going to say Brandon League is their best reliever, run at 40% and leave before the eighth inning to beat the traffic. Let's recap quickly, Puig took a fastball off his nose, wiped blood from his face and took first base. Then The Cuban did an interpretative dance with Kennedy's whole team that he called "The Bay of Puig." Finally, the next day, he hurts himself in batting practice. It's like when Jean-Claude Van Damme beat the crap out of 47 bad guys, but stopped production on Timecop because the production assistant forget to bring his hair gel to set. "Van Damme be Van Damned if his hair isn't coifed." As of right now, there's no word on how long Puig will be out, but hopefully this Puiggy doesn't go wee, wee, wee all the way home. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:

Traditional Elegance
Black Green
Classic, timeless and all around perfect, this Pacific Palisades beauty is one for the books. It's backyard meets black tie and the result couldn't be prettier if it tried. Desi Baytan Photograph was on hand to make sure the day was captured in a stunning fashion, and you can see every gorgeous moment here.
From the Bride…I fell in love with Josh when I was a teenager and we were counselors at a day camp in our hometown of pacific palisades. The setting was idyllic – making lanyards with our campers, sneaking away to the woods for moments together, even his boys group awarding me babe of the week!
I knew at 17 I wanted to marry him, so after 9 years of a wonderful life together (college, law school, first jobs, first homes) when he proposed on the bluffs overlooking the ocean in our hometown I was the happiest girl alive. With my mom in the wedding industry, working with brides and planners every day, I had already dreamt up my dream wedding to a tee. But making it come to life really took a village (or a small suburb in Los Angeles :)
Josh and I knew we didn't want a hotel or country club wedding. While beautiful, it just didn't feel like us. We wanted something personal, and something in the town where our story began. It was by a stroke of fate that we ran into our family friend the day we had looked at numerous wedding venues that just didn't fit us. She graciously offered her beautiful home for our wedding and the rest was history.
Even though it was outside, I dreamt of a formal affair with men in tuxedos and women in formal gowns. I wanted to create an atmosphere of easy elegance where everyone looked beautiful, but was comfortable enough to have the best night of their summer. With a stationer mom, the save the dates and wedding invitations set the tone of classic with a kick. Our engraved invites were on gorgeous 4 ply bristol stock with hand gilded edging, but with mix and match fonts to bring the look of timeless elegance into 2013!
Josh and I are huge foodies and wine lovers, so having a formal seated dinner experience with great wine to match was paramount. We even picked the poured champagne from a bottle we tried on one of our anniversary trips. The theme and colors of the wedding also perfectly reflected us. Any friend of mine will tell you that my favorite colors are black and white, and that twinkle lights make me happy in a way that is typically reserved only for cake! With our last names being black and green – keeping the wedding colors black and white against the lush green backyard was the perfect option. The only accent we wanted was LIGHT to create a romantic, twinkling evening – so we incorporated mercury glass, candles, lanterns, and twinkle lights all throughout the space.
Once the look of the environment was set – we knew we needed to set the tone. It was important for us to have live music at our wedding, so we worked with organic string quartet to curate a list of contemporary songs to play on their strings at the cocktail hour. But what was most special is that they learned a song for me to walk down the aisle to – "I miss you" by incubus, which is a song that Josh and I used to text each other lyrics from when we were dating long distance. If the start to the ceremony wasn't personal enough, we also had our best family friend and neighbor officiate our wedding, whose personal perspective on our lives together set the stage for the evening ahead.
We also worked closely with our amazing DJ Pasha to put together playlists for dinner (everything from frank Sinatra standards to Allen stone crooning over the speakers) and songs for the BEST dance party I have ever been to. The night was perfect – elegant, but so fun that people were sweating on the dance floor. It all ended with, what else! More lights! A beautiful sparkler exit capped off the best day of our lives!

Problem: Several readers have asked recently about whether to capitalize particular words, ranging from job titles to seasons.
Lesson: Although some style guides differ, in general, few words other than proper nouns should appear in uppercase.
Do capitalize:
3 Official titles preceding a name, including executive, professional, civic, military and religious titles. Examples: Mayor Maggie Stewart and Chief Financial Officer Bert Jones.
3 Official names of divisions or departments of an organization, but not general references to those units. Examples: "General Motors' Parts Division," but "Please deliver that invoice to the accounting department."
Don't capitalize:
3 Common nouns that stand in for a proper noun. Examples: "The Widgets Co.," but "the company." Note: Some style guides call for capitalizing high-ranking titles when used alone to replace the full name, such as "the President."
3 Common job titles. Example: "She gave the package to deliveryman Chris Marlin."
3 The word "city" or "state" unless it's part of the actual name or a well-known nickname. Examples: Kansas City, the city of Pittsburgh.
3 The word "the" unless it's part of an official name. Examples: "The Washington Post," but "the Washingtonian magazine."
3 Directions (north, south, east, west) unless they are part of a proper name or a well-known region. Examples: "Go north on 16th Street," but "Most of our customers live in the South."
3 The names of seasons (spring, summer, winter, autumn) when not part of an official name..

Cold Bug 5, Bob 1
I made it out of the house on Saturday for a couple of hours. Apparently that ticked off the cold bug living in my noggin.
It took revenge on Sunday and Monday.
I do apologize for not posting but I decided breathing had a slightly higher priority over the weekend.
I'm feeling better. So on with life.
Over at WFAA, I found an article that really shows a problem with many "news stories" today.
DALLAS – While more and more city-approved food trucks pop up in Dallas and Fort Worth, a News 8 investigation found stark differences in the rules each city requires to make sure they are clean.
Let's start in Dallas, where food trucks that serve inside city limits are required to park overnight at a place called a commissary. They restock food here and a commissary employee gives each truck a hardcore scrubbing. It also helps the city keep track of them because it must remain there that night.
Oh Kwon, co-owner of the popular Dallas-based truck Ssahm Korean BBQ, said he thinks his truck wouldn't be as clean without the commissary.
Fort Worth requires its food trucks to visit a commissary each day but does not make them stay overnight. News 8 followed five food trucks after closing time and found none went to a commissary.
It is a good article; full of human interest spots and details. Of course the details are all about the governmental regulation.
What is missing is the details about how the differences are affecting the health and safety of the patrons. What is missing is any question of the nature of the regulations; are they overly strict, are they even needed? Do the regulations serve the public or the government?
Details that are really needed today but sadly lacking in too much reporting by the mainstream media.
There is a wealth of information out there that could have been included; like how many people eat at the food trucks, how many people get sick from eating at the food trucks, etc.
It really seems as if the reporter is just making a case for more governmental regulation instead of reporting on the safety of food trucks.
Used to the media was a check on the government, now it seems like they are the government's pep squad.
Please join the discussion.

Allegiant Home Care
Thank you for your interest!
We are a new company dedicated to providing excellent home health care services including nursing, companionship, and assistance with activities of daily living such a bathing, cooking, and walking. We serve a primarily elderly population, but also work with children with developmental difficulties or complex medical conditions. We are based in New York City, and our customers are urbanites. We serve a wide range of cultures, languages, and economic profiles.
We believe we provide a more professional and responsive service to our patients and their families. We'd like a logo that conveys professionalism, caring and reliability.
The target audience is generally the family members of medical patients in need of support in the home, as well the patients themselves. The patients are typically elderly, though they may be any age. The family member making the purchase decision is generally a middle-age child or, in the case of a pediatric patient, a parent.
We are trying to create an identity for the organization that is consistent with high service standards, clinical quality, and overall professionalism. We'd also like to convey the look and feel of an established company, even though we're a start-up at the moment. Our competition tends to have cluttered branding and logos with cutesy images of hearts and teddy bears, etc. We'd prefer a more clean and spare look that seems trustworthly without quite being cold and distant. Perhaps a blue palate would do this, but we're open to other good-looking colors schemes.
Also, we're starting from scratch on our identity and image, so we'd like to work toward a suite of images that can be appropriate for letterhead, a logo, website, business cards, etc. As a first-time 99Designs user, I don't know how much of this is covered by this project, but we'd like to work toward this as much as possible.
Thank you again and we look forward to your help!

Remembering Johnny Cash 10 Years After His Death
I've heard my share of eulogies at celebrity funerals over the years, but I don't think I've ever felt a moment of heartbreak at one quite the way I did when Rosanne Cash wrapped up her tribute to her father at his funeral in Nashville 10 years ago this week. Johnny Cash "was not famous when he was teaching us to fish or to water-ski," his eldest daughter pointed out. "He was not an icon when he told us how proud he was of us. … I can live with the idea of a world without the icon Johnny Cash, because there will never be a world without him. I cannot, however, imagine a world without Daddy."
Those grief-stricken words put to shame the lesser sorrow felt by those of us who only thought of him as a father figure during his nearly 50 years in the limelight. But a decade without the public Johnny Cash has still been something to mourn in its own right. Now, as then, I think of Rosanne's words and transpose them into the old hit that Paul McCartney wrote for Peter and Gordon: "I don't care what they say/I won't stay/In a world without Cash."
PHOTOS: Dollars After Death: 12 Albums That Got Big Posthumous Sales Boosts
He died around 1 a.m. on the morning of Sept. 12, 2003. Later that same day, I got Kris Kristofferson on the phone to talk about his buddy, and he mentioned what was on everyone's mind: that it had only been three months since Cash's wife, June Carter Cash, had passed. "He was a fighter, and he had a strong spirit, but it was the hardest thing that he probably ever faced in his life," Kristofferson told me. "His kids told me that he still cried all the time at night. Which is …" Kristofferson paused. "Hell, I've never seen Johnny Cash cry, you know."
Three days later, I got to see Kristofferson softly weeping, out of the corner of my eye, as both of us stood silently over Cash's open casket at a visitation the night before the funeral. I felt it was a moment too sacred for me to share, so I made my way out of the room, but not without feeling as if I'd stood next to Jesse Jackson at a visitation for Martin Luther King Jr., or been witness to Muhammad Ali mourning Joe Louis.
(If that seems like an odd analogy, I credit Kristofferson for giving me boxers on the brain, since he'd told me a few days before that Cash had "evolved into this beloved figure, all over the world. I know -- I've been all over the world with him -- and they love him, just like they love Muhammad Ali.")
I spoke to others who knew him in the days between Cash's death and his funeral. "The last time I saw him, 10 days before he died, he looked really good to me," said Rodney Crowell, Rosanne's ex-husband. "He really was looking like he was gaining some wind and starting to perk up. But I think diabetes is always a lot more nasty disease than we think, and there was quite a bit of that diabetic stuff that was really ripping him up. If you're in your 70s and really in good health when you lose a longtime partner, you can kind of endure the grief and maybe go on and build a new life, of some sort, even if it'll never be the same. Paul McCartney has done that [after Linda], in his way. And I was kind of hoping for that for Johnny. But that was kind of selfish, and I was just thinking, 'You know what? He's gotten tired,' and I think better to cash it all in, you know? And get a break."
He might have been grave-tired, but he hadn't lost his levity. Kristofferson told me, "He kept his humor right up through the darkest stuff. When I went to see him last, when they were having a visitation at the funeral home for June, I sat down next to him there. People were coming by to shake his hand and everything. One guy came by and when he saw me there, he said, 'Oh, listen, you are a great singer! You're one of my favorite singers.' And then he moved on. And John looked down at me and said, 'Well, that's one.' "
Ironically, at the time of his death, Cash was enjoying more acclaim that he had in years … for revealing his mortality, in the video he made for his cover of Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt," which won him plaudits at both the MTV and CMA awards. Trick Pony's Ira Dean told me that in their last conversation, he'd "called him about his CMA nomination, and I said 'It's about damn time.' He started laughing. I said, 'You're selling some records, aren't you?' He said, 'Finally, again. You know, they just turned over a stone, and there I was.' "
PHOTOS: A-Listers Angle to Play Music's Biggest Icons
The day of the funeral, I drove to Cash's home on Caudill Drive in Hendersonville, Tenn., where at any given time that week a couple of dozen fans stood outside the gates, stone-faced, as if they expected Cash to emerge at any moment and drive a tractor into Old Hickory Lake. (Walk the Line was still a year away from being filmed, but the faithful hardly needed a biopic to learn the lore surrounding the homestead.)
The funeral was an amalgam of public and private. Unlike George Jones' recent sendoff, which was held at the Opry House, open to the public, and streamed and telecast live, Cash's was actually held at a church, and you won't find any clips on YouTube. (Although technically a closed affair, members of the public were not turned away.) As mourners entered, the pianist played "I Walk the Line" in the style of a chipper Southern gospel hymn. Then came probably the first and last video montage at the First Baptist Church of Hendersonville ever to include a clip of the deceased appearing on Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. The vocal hymnody was an all-star affair. Emmylou Harris and Sheryl Crow harmonized together on "The Old Wooden Cross" and Bob Dylan's "Every Grain of Sand" after Kristofferson sang his original composition "A Moment of Forever."
Kristofferson said that "John once accused me of having written 'The Pilgrim Chapter 33' about him," and although he didn't explicitly confirm or deny that the "walking contradiction/partly truth, partly fiction" song was about Cash, he did describe his loved mentor in contradictory terms as "deeply spiritual," "something of a holy terror," and "Abraham Lincoln with a wild side." (The presidential theme clearly resonated with Kristofferson as much as the boxing one, since he'd told me days earlier that touring with Cash as part of the country supergroup the Highwaymen "was like finding yourself on Mount Rushmore every night.")
Family members waxed and waned between irreverent and divine. "I'm pretty sure I represent the longest list of ex-son-in-laws ever [from] one family on this planet," joked Rodney Crowell. He recalled going down to Johnny and June's second home in Jamaica, back when he thought he was a "world-class bad boy," expecting to share a bed with then-fiancee Rosanne Cash. Although "his social politics were liberal and forgiving," Crowell quickly learned that his future father-in-law had his conservative side, as Cash reacted to the presumed sleeping arrangement by saying, "Son, I don't know you well enough to miss you if you're gone."
STORY: Johnny Cash Immortalized as U.S. Stamp
"I know he's up there with Mama," said Carlene Carter. "She's got cheesecake in one hand and a charge card in the other. And he's an Indian," she said, referring to her stepfather's lifelong fascination with Native Americans. Rosanne, who never quite took to her parents' strong Christian convictions, called her father "a Baptist with the soul of a mystic … who was more alive to the subtleties of this world and worlds beyond than anyone I've known or even heard of." Concerning the afterlife, she ended her eulogy on a hopefully agnostic note: "The best thing I can wish for him now is that all his beliefs are coming true."
It was a typical Tennessee funeral really only in one way, in that it featured a lengthy fire-and-brimstone sermon by a preacher who barely knew the late honoree. Although Al Gore and some family members had invoked Jesus Christ during the funeral, evangelist Franklin Graham really laid into the salvation theme, after a brief introduction in which he talked about being introduced to Cash as a kid by his father, Billy. Not all of the show-business types at the funeral were impressed by Graham giving such an altar call of a eulogy, but inasmuch as Cash was a traditionalist, he might have enjoyed the younger Graham carrying on that time-honored custom of boilerplate evangelism, however impersonal it felt in regard to the decedent.
Tagging along with a family friend, I joined the small procession of cars taking a few dozen people out to the Hendersonville Memory Gardens. Along the way, the road was lined with mourners who presumably had heard the funeral was closed and figured this was as close as they'd get to country music's most beloved figure. I remember in particular one young man standing by the side of the boulevard, guitar at his feet, an arrow sign pointed toward heaven raised above his head. You know what color he was wearing.
At the grave site, a nephew spoke and imagined that Johnny's first impulse upon arriving in heaven would be to run and look for his older brother Jack, who -- as anyone who saw Walk the Line knows -- died after a childhood accident involving a cotton machine. But no, the nephew corrected himself: Cash would run to meet his maker first, then his long-lost brother. The casket was lowered into the ground, topped by agapanthus, spray orchids, and -- in honor of the tragic Johnny/Jack connection -- cotton boughs. Before departing, the two or three dozen assembled sang the national anthem of country funerals: "Will the Circle Be Unbroken."
The sad answer to that hymn's rhetorical question hung in the air: On earth, not as in heaven, the circle of country greatness had been irretrievably snapped, soon to be replaced by studly young hunks who would sing songs called "Johnny Cash" without a moment's thought as to what combination of attitudes a tune with that title ought to signify. Ten years later, as the Dixie Chicks prophetically sang, "They got money, but they don't have Cash." Now, as then, we remain … hurt.
We listen to the radio to hear what's cookin'
But the music ain't got no soul
Now they sound tired but they don't sound Haggard
They got money but they don't have Cash

text: Dolly Parton 'Shocked' By Howard Stern's Audio Clips Of Her Country music star Dolly Parton says she's shocked at the seemingly racist and sexually suggestive sound bites of her played on Howard Stern's satellite radio show, claiming to be from her audio book. "I have never been so shocked, hurt and humiliated in all my life," Parton says. "I cannot believe what Howard Stern has done to me. In a blue million years, I would never have such vulgar things come out of my mouth. They have done editing or some sort of trickery to make this horrible, horrible thing. Please accept my apology for them and certainly know I had nothing to do with this." 'The Howard Stern Show' frequently edits recordings from celebrities to make them "say" something else altogether, and has been doing so for years, for a few laughs but Parton isn't laughing and is threatening to sue Stern for the prank. "If there was ever going to be a lawsuit, it's going to be over this," says Parton. "I am completely devastated by this." We've got the audio from the segment below:

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Originally founded in New Zealand, but with its vision firmly international, SMB accounting software vendor Xero has just raised another ND180M to fuel its US expansion plans. [Disclosure - I've done a tiny amount of consulting to Xero and have worked with a number of vendors in the space - full details here]. The money is primarily from US funds, with previous investors Matrix Capital Management and Peter Thiel's Valar Ventures participating.
Xero had an interesting genesis - coming from a country with relatively sparse funding opportunities, the company publicly listed without so much as a product (but, it must be noted, with a well-stacked board of directors and a high-energy CEO). Since that time Xero has cross listed on the Australian Stock Exchange, been making comments about a listing on a US exchange and ramped up the not-insignificant number of over 200 000 paying customers.
In Australia and New Zealand Xero is a well established name and is taking the luster off its desktop software competitor MYOB but the US market is a very different beast and here it is up against a competitor, , that really can't be dismissed. Xero realizes that in order to really make inroads in the US market, there is no replacement for traditional (and often highly expensive) sales and marketing approaches. This funding looks likely to be primarily put towards this US growth. Currently there is limited adoption of cloud-based financial products in the US tailored for SMBs - the best-known competitor FreshBooks originally provided only invoicing functionality but has since moves into full accounting. freshBooks boasts far higher customer numbers but it runs a feemium model and isn't speaking publicly about how many of its millions of customers actually pay for the service.
There are a number of other solutions - Wave Accounting is an interesting company doing a free accounting solution, monetized through in-app advertizing and offers. The jury is out on whether small business owners will trust an advertizing-based product for their most precious of data however. SMB web hosting company GoDaddy also recently acquired accountign vendor Outright but again, this deal hasn't really set the world on fire.
So into this vacuum we have Xero which, despite the accent of its founders not being one normally known in tech circles has proven to be adept at leveraging social media and new ways of engaging with customers and partners to reach an impressive scale in a short space of time. It's proven in non-US markets that it understands what it needs to do to achieve scale. The question is now whether it can do similarly in the real market that matters - the US.

So Amasa went to assemble the men of Juda, but he tarried beyond the set time which the king had appointed him.
Nearly 120 years later Amasa Thompson listed his tools and their value.
This was Amasa's first commission after his being appointed general of the troops.
"He gave up his house because he couldn't keep it up," said Amasa Harbury.
Here we tarried one week, in course of which the rear camp, headed by Amasa Lyman, arrived in good condition.
Do you mean try to find out what the sum is he asked Amasa to pay him?
After the publication of this award the demand for (Amasa) Howe sewing machines was greatly increased at home and abroad.
Amasa is hoeing in the celery, which looks good, and the birds are singing and calling all about.
His father was Amasa Goodyear, a pioneer hardware manufacturer, from whom the son inherited much of his inventive ability.
"It's father's old workshop; there's nothing there," Amasa said.
burden. (1.) The son of Abigail, a sister of king David (1 Chr. 2:17; 2 Sam. 17:25). He was appointed by David to command the army in room of his cousin Joab (2 Sam. 19:13), who afterwards treacherously put him to death as a dangerous rival (2 Sam. 20:4-12). (2.) A son of Hadlai, and chief of Ephraim (2 Chr. 28:12) in the reign of Ahaz.

l85 woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
l85 woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
the L85's design was improved by HK though wasn't it
its still originally a british design though
its just been molested by krauts
it was made by a canadian but he worked for the US
If molestation always workes out as well as it did for the L85, every successful business owner was probably molested.
Molested, yes, but by Jews.
Speaking of Jews...
Because I'm such a fucking arrogant prick and my suggestions to this thread are always the best and get the most "agrees" and shit, I'm going to go ahead and ask for a Jewish gun.
IMI Hadar 7.62, the Israeli army's standard DMR for shooting Arabs until the release of the Galil Sniper:
IMI should sue Beretta or something.
JLS makes a gun REALLY similar to that
Heh, JLS.
why should they sue
i highly doubt that IMI invented that kind of stock
That just looks like a really ugly sporterized Galil. It even has the same mags as the 7.62 version of the Galil. And I'm pretty sure they used the M14 more than that or the Galil Sniper.
It's not. It had the thumbhole stock before it came to CA, lol.
m14 is america design dough
and so is xm25 as a stand alone wepaon
xm25 (ar15) or xm25 (oicw) because vague
BF3 is p wrong the marines are going to use this
No the marines already fielded it you are wrong.
field tested it
it's not like theyre gonna buy 4500 m27s or anything right
M27 is a gay nigga german gun.
fick that
isnt the M27 just a HK416?
In the same way an MG36 is a G36E.
m27 is usa american variant of hk416 but yah
Strongly reminds me of Vepr .308 Super.
It'd be cool if somebody made some old shotguns, like these
Savage/Springfield model 67
Ithaca 37
My brother bought a deactivated Savage M67, and it's cool as hell. Airsoft ones would be awesome for anyone wanting to make a nam loadout with something different.
i need to buy an ithica 37, shit's classy
There is an Ithaca 37.
It's KTW though
I want realsword or vfc to mass produce an SVU instead of some random unheard-of japanese company
and a val (because zeta labs makes shit mosins to begin with)
and a vintorez (because zeta labs makes shit mosins to begin with)
and RS should hurry up with the svd-s
Why? I wouldn't even want it as a real gun, those Fosberys were some of the worst functioning revolvers ever made
Looks cool though.
In airsoft that's pretty much all you need, considering the internal workings are the same most of the time.
Except it isn't at all like other DA revolvers. The top half of the gun recoils on the lower frame which cycles the hammer and indexes the cylinder (hence the grooves) It's a very fragile system that broke and jammed more times than it would shoot
I always loved this rifle from CS.
I like the non-sniper version. A nice Swiss soldier showed me his and even let me fingerfuck it when I went to Switzerland in second grade. I fell in love with the rifle then.
Maybe that's part of the reason i like the T91 so much...
i fucking HATED that thing
552 was the best though
css made me hate glocks 4 lyfe
How about the HK G11 I feel it's popular enough that someone should've made one by now?
Isn't the BF3 IAR the same thing but without the heatsink?
No this is the BF3 IAR.
You know, the gun they're actually going to use.
HK won the competition.
Doesn't JG make these?
JG and G&G both have a SIG550 but not in the sniper configuration.
A SIG550 with longer barrel, scope, bipod and new stock would be pretty similar though.

The pilots' union at American Eagle today said it reached a tentative agreement with the regional carrier after seven days of negotiations.
The Air Line Pilots Association outlined in an online message to its members that the agreement includes no pay cuts, no changes to the company 401(k) retirement contributions and no longevity changes.
Union leaders still must send the agreement to 3,000 pilots for a vote.
Here is the full letter on Aug. 8, 2012, from ALPA to its members regarding a tentative agreement with American Eagle:
Fellow American Eagle Pilots,
It has been nearly nine months since American Airlines and American Eagle Airlines filed for bankruptcy protection. Early on, both management teams announced plans to abrogate or otherwise modify labor agreements with the various unionized labor groups. American's management began first with American's organized labor, and later, Eagle management made proposals to the Eagle labor groups.
In the first few days following the bankruptcy filing, your elected representatives crafted a mission statement and outlined a strategy for the bankruptcy process. As a unified group the MEC decided that the best course of action would be to seek a consensual agreement with management providing job security without sacrificing our quality of life.
Yesterday evening, ALPA reached a consensual agreement in principle (AIP) with management which is quite different than the 1113 bankruptcy term sheet that management would seek to impose if it obtained rejection of our current contract in an 1113 litigation. Late last night and again this morning, the MEC reviewed the AIP and ultimately authorized the Negotiating Committee to work with management on drafting full contract language for the MEC's review and approval before a pilot ratification vote could occur.
We anticipate that it will take the negotiators at least two weeks before final language is ready for the MEC's consideration. In an effort to avoid speculation as to what the AIP contains, we are working to disseminate later tonight a comparison between the AIP and management's 1113 bankruptcy terms sheet. However, we can hopefully put some of your minds at ease by sharing with you that as part of the AIP:
• We will not take cuts to our pay rates;
• We will not take longevity reductions; and
• We will not take reductions to our retirement contributions.
Understandably, there will be intense interest in the details of the AIP, and it is our goal to provide as much detail and information as possible surrounding this negotiation. Our focus is currently set on drafting final contract language based upon the agreed principles. We will make every effort to keep you updated on the progress of this task and the next steps to come, knowing that you are rightfully concerned about unnecessary delays.
As we work on contract language and explanatory materials, we will make significant efforts to educate our Pilot-2-Pilot volunteers about the AIP's specific bullet point items so that they can also help answer your questions. Now more than ever, it is imperative that every Eagle pilot have access to the facts and the truth. We caution you to avoid speculation and use your judgment when you hear from someone who claims to "know someone who knows" more details about the AIP or what transpired during the negotiation. As many of us know from experience, rarely do the "facts" in these circumstances hold up to scrutiny when compared to legitimate information.
In anticipation that the MEC may approve final language and send it to the pilot group for your vote, the SPC under the guidance of the MEC will begin scheduling domicile road show schedules, and set up a streaming video version on the ALPA.org site for those unable to attend a live show. While we prepare contract language for the MEC's review, please review the materials we distribute and continue engaging your MEC representatives.
Lastly, we want to express our sincere gratitude to our Negotiating Committee, ALPA expert advisors, attorneys, and MEC members who sacrificed countless hours away from home and their families in order to reach this agreement in principle.
Once contract language is finalized, we ask that you take sufficient time to review it in detail as it is a substantial change from our current collective bargaining agreement. We encourage you to ask questions, contact the various ALPA representatives, and sufficiently educate yourself about the AIP.
Captain Tony Gutierrez
MEC Chairman

For decades, hippies have sworn by the mind-freeing effects of the lava lamp. Well, if the lava works so hypnotically well, imagine the whole volcano! Actually, you dont have to imagine here's one we prepared earlier.
Move over Mount Etna! Stand aside Vesuvius! The Mini Volcano is set to in offices across the country. It's a fabulously frivolous USB accessory you can plug in and enjoy wherever you have a laptop or PC!
Ever heard of a micro-meditation? No? OK, well that's coz we made it up! But we truly believe it is possible - simply stare at the molten mountain to clear your mind in just minutes. Similar to watching waves breaking by the seashore, the gentle ebb and flow of the Mini Volcano will help transport you to that "happy place" whenever stress threatens to take hold.
Or you could give it as a gift to the boss' PA that way she can plug it in and use it as a signal to co-workers that eruption is imminent and they should stay clear or completely evacuate.
Assembly couldn't be simpler. Just add one part dishwashing detergent to two parts water, via the filler hole at the top. Pop on the cap and plug in to your nearest USB and voila! You've got Krakatau on your desktop only much, much smaller and not at all lethal!
And unlike the real thing the Mini Volcano has its own on/off switch so there's no need to unplug (and of course, no need to run for your life).
So why a Mini Volcano? It's as the mountain climbers and volcanologists say "because it's there". Add it to your arsenal of USB assisted entertainment today!
Prepare to be amazed by the forces of earth, fire and water create an amazing kinetic sculpture.
The Mini Volcano is powered via USB cable (included), features a power switch and is approximately 15 cm tall by 8 cm wide. It recreates an erupting volcano effect using luminous red "lava" beads in a liquid solution.
Please note: Not suitable for children under 3 years old due to small parts which may constitute a choking hazard.

No I am not in charge but, you are one of these young upstarts like Jolly Roger as well. Not quite as bad but working on it.
It's Dunn and Bradstreet by the way, a listing of credit worthiness to 4.5 million. Or Dun and Bradstreet.
I will be checking your future posts for any spelling or grammatical errors, thanks for keeping up.
Yes, I lost more than many get the chance to achieve. This is how perhaps you learn things the hardway. I have offered all kinds of personal information and experiences over the years on this board. I even use my full name. How about everyone else do that too, not just be little cyber dorks posting Hey here's a link to horror dork.com what do you guys thing of that?
Maybe it's my own lack of imagination but "Jim Warfield" was the best that I could come up with...wait, from now on call me "The King Of Siam!"
Or maybe "The bloody King of Siam"? Or maybe the Twin Kings of Siam?"
Or maybe " The Claw Marks on Your Sister's Bedroom Window?"
Sure. That's it. After a few months people will forget who I really am and I can say anything to anybody and they won't know, except your Sister, she will never forget!
It may also be relative to wether you are into having massive credit listings, like owning your own corporation. Not every one is or wants to be. I certainly am not any more but it shows a level of experience good or bad perhaps I learned it as all bad and there are better things in life to try to maintain.
Like now I'm running charity haunts that barely pay the labor to set up and tear down let alone storage and such. Because the charity gets 80%. Again personal information. Go ahead and pull up all of my prior posts and you will see me trying to communicate these things and thinking out loud a bit trying to figure things out. But, I'm not incharge here. And this board is not being used like it was, a nice community of people trying to relate one anothers experiences to see if any ideas fly from that.
In fact because of the latest stream of cyber punks, old timers and the really knowlegeable do not post here any more. So perhaps even more losses is your loss too. I don't believe I have ever tried to say I am somebody and you are not unless I was joking but, frankly I don't know you, you have not provided much real personal information and I don't know you.
Ooops that's Jim telling me to shut up now. I have learned you too much.
And if you are into checking things out from history, there is this series of books in the public Library call the Thomas Register. Of course to check such things you have to back away from the computer and leave the house. You can check someone's house hold income for any region for decades in the past to verify things. I'm like such a name dropper. Oh aren't I the smart one. No butt wipe that isn't how to take such information.
And maybe if I wasn't so disturbed about what this forum has become, I could spell better, there would still be marks on my computer keys to know what the letters are supposed to be.
I have watched when I first came on years and years ago, serious name calling, to a bunch of juggalos teaching us how to swear by misspelling the words so the thing doesn't get it, to MR DB Dorey now Jolly roger and his WTF what would you have do with me. I no speak english so good what you guys on HW think.
I'm really not someone to mess with. I have nothing to live for and I will use your lungs as party balloons. ( Just kidding, J/K :lol: or what ever gets through these days or maybe I'm totally serious )
Oh, screw it.
Who ya argueing with now you old brain fart?
You're argueing with yourself arn't you?
No I'm not screw you anyhow!
This is my arguement but out fool.
Who you callin fool fool
Why ain't there no spell checker on this thing
Don't change the subject dork.
Oh, yeah, okay.....Some small percentage of vendors suck.
Thankyou for your time, you may resume your normal life.
There you go with more diatribe you a$$hole who do you think you are, you must really think you are somebody.
Go ahead say one more thing and I'm throwing this freakin dial up peice of crap out on the highway!
I'll be back to check for spelling errors.
Well, your just some kinda nut case aren't ya.
Screw you if they can post meaningless crap so can I.
But, dear these are just young people looking for attention. They just want to feel wanted, what were you like when you were young? Who gives a crap! I certainly wasn't able to infect the whole planet because there weren't computers! You could only stab so many with a #2 pencil before you went down. Now what do you think is going to be achieved with this line of thinking? Who cares!
Now you know that isn't right, I'm not sure I can be around someone like you.
Don't let the door hit you in the butt.

Hilary Swank surely dazzled everyone at the Toronto International Airport alone with that smile of hers! The Academy Award-winning actress was beaming as she arrived at the airport. Maybe Hilary had a bumpy flight and was happy to be on terra firma again. I've had that experience a few times- LOL.
Last night Hilary attended the Inspiration Gala in Toronto. It was a benefit for amfAR: The Foundation for AIDS Research. She looked FAB in her dress. Love that lace overlay! You can see bigger pictures in the gallery.

What You Think You See is Not What You See

Those textbook diagrams showing the supposed evolution of vision reveal a real blind spot, for there are big problems with this evolutionary narrative. For instance, the biochemistry, even in primitive eyes is numbingly complex. The notion that it evolved is nowhere motivated by the scientific evidence. Read more

A day for disabled horse riders
SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO - For those diagnosed with chronic physical or developmental conditions, the therapy they need to survive can be as dreadful as the symptoms themselves.
Many will spend several hours a week in a windowless medical office, repeating rote exercises for the long-term improvement of muscle tone and fine motor skills. While effective, the struggle can be rife with frustration, anger and, at times, hopelessness.
But patients at the Shea Center for Therapeutic Riding don't practice flash cards or balance on a Swiss ball. Instead, they spend their therapy outdoors, taking horseback rides that experts say help improve strength, balance and emotional well-being.
The center opened its door today for 85 such riders and other residents during its Drive to Ride horse show, where patients competed for honors in horsemanship, obstacle-course navigation and more.
Although ribbons were awarded to the winners, it was the experience and the mutual support, not competition, that excited participants.
"It's helped me with my balance and coordination," said Darin Salazar, 9, adding he felt "stronger." Diagnosed with Prader-Willis syndrome as a toddler, he's combated his inhibited coordination and muscle strength through weekly visits to the ranch.
It doesn't hurt that the University Park Elementary School student loves animals - "especially horses."
"It's the highlight of his week," said his mother, Lisa. "He really enjoys it."
Darin Salazar took two ribbons at the day's event.
Therapeutic riding provides a number of unique physical benefits, attributable to the horses' unique walk.
"The horse is the only thing in the world that mimics the movement of our three-dimensional pelvis," Janelle Robinson, a physical therapist at the center, said. "When you ride, your balance, stomach muscles, your back muscles, your inner ear - they all have to react."
Through the development of these basic skills, Robinson said, even finer motor skills - including speech - have been known to improve. Patients with conditions as varied as cerebral palsy and post-stroke trauma have seen marked improvements with the treatment.
The experience is certainly a big emotional draw for patients, too.
"You have to remember that a lot of these kids may not have a little league, or an AYSO," said Cynthia Bobruk, the center's director of development. "That's what this is to a lot of these kids."

This is not confirmed yet. This article is going off some uk retailer listings, which are placeholder price tags often. I dont see any game developer selling their standard game for 80 usd.

Well if they are raising the price that much then there will NOT be an EA game in my collection.... But there are enough stupid people out there that the few that don't buy will not affect them to much.

I still find it laughable that people are so bent out of shape about this. They have no problem spending $500+ for the console, but when it actually comes to the software for the console, they want to be cheapskates. $20 extra, that's the last $#@!ing straw!
07-14-2013 #56
We should lock this thread until we get official confirmation from EA on this matter, when I contacted them through Twitter they said the prices are the same. If this turns out to be true it will probably be only the UK, sorry for them, but let's not have people thinking this is actually true.

The only ea game I buy on release day is NHL. Ill suck it up
07-14-2013 #59
Did you hear what you wrote? 20$ is a brand new budget game... I'm sorry but if I'm buying 5-8 games a month like I do now that's 100-160 bucks extra a month. An additional 2-8 games a month... You might not care, but I'd rather spend my money on more games... Not less.

1) Why are you buying 5-8 games a month!? Can you even get through that amount of games per month?
2) I hope they are not new releases. God I hope you're talking about Steam games.
3) I think people are forgetting most games decrease in price after a few months. (Not specific to you)To call people stupid and get all mad over the price of a game just makes you look childish.
And no, paying $80 for a certain game that I know will get a ridiculous amount of play time through the course of a year doesn't bother me. As I stated, I'm paying over $500 just on the hardware alone. I'm not going to cry because I have to pay another $80 for a quality game with a ton of replay value.
Believe me, I can sympathize with people on this, but I think people are just blowing this out of proportion. EA rarely makes new franchises so for the most part you know what you're getting with them. Its all about how much value you put on a game.
07-14-2013 #61
paying more for a game doesn't necessarily mean more replay value or time. it is more likely to mean better lip sync (mo cap), actors, $#@! that takes a lot of money but provides little value at times...e.g. engine, graphics, sound etc.
there are games on the PS2 that gave you more bang for the buck than on the PS3. I can go back to the SNES days and talk about games that gave you more replay value than most anything nowadays.
don't confuse more money with necessarily bigger longer games.

EA Raises Prices Of Next-Gen Games To £54.99/$80
Yeah I have time to play...and yeah new releases, PS3 and 360 games (I hate pc gaming lol)
It's kinda my job reviewing...(I don't really work because of an accident I was in, plus the wife makes enough that I can just draw and game all day lol)
I could understand if you're paying for a nice long game... But we're talking ea, they shouldn't even be charging 60$ for most of their games (I think any of their sport titles shouldn't be more than 15$ even...) Only a completely insane person would think paying 80$ for a madden game is a good value.
I'm interested to know... What EA game would you have been happy to pay 80$ for current gen?
Out of the 5 EA titles I have paid for (ie not ps+) I think mirrors edge is the only game worth the 60$ (the other 4 being, dragon age 2, saboteur, dead space 1, and Dante's inferno... All bought for 20$ or less)Last edited by SomaXD; 07-14-2013 at 03:24.

Never once did I say it meant a longer game. I'm coming at it from this stand point. People who buy BF, they play that $#@! until the breaks come off. Now while not being a BF fan, I am an NBA fan. I can see myself sticking well over 200 hours into NBA Live with the franchise mode and online match making. People who buy BF stick days and days into the online portion of the game. You tell them that they are stupid for paying $80 for a game which they will spend that much time playing. It's illogical, which is why I stated that it depends on how much you value the franchise you're buying. With Dead Space, I only play the campaign. There is no way in hell I'm paying $80 for that game as after 8-15 hours its over and will never be touched again.
NBA Live and BF4 if I can get a party to play with. From a single player aspect, to you Madden may not be worth it, but to someone who play sports games and shooters, its totally worth it. Its all about how much time that you are going to spend with the game that determines its value and that's what people are not getting.
Unlike you, I dont review games. Thus I'm perfectly fine paying $80 for a couple of multiplayer games that interest me until the heavily single player focused games, like Bioshock and the Last of Us, drop to $20-$30. That is how I buy my game. Well that and the Steam sales.
07-14-2013 #64
i think the problem is semantics here. really you should be saying that "if" the game has the immense value that justifies the $80 tag.
Having an $80 tag doesn't necessarily mean that though. I got from your post that $80 is nothing when you know it will give you more replay value.
07-14-2013 #65
with madden youd pay 80$ for a game thats fundamentally the same each year with minor changes? why not demand a core 15$ game that gets yearly updated rosters and features via paid updates? they already announced that they are going to be using 2 engines... so now you wont even be paying for an updated game graphically, all youll be paying for is roster changes and little stuff that doesnt even amount to 80$ worth of features... this legitimately makes my brain hurt as to why anyone would spend money for sports games. Id seriously rather pay for the core game and then 5-10$ for the yearly roster change... i really dont see an 80$ value a year in sports games (to be fair... i HATE sports lol)
and i deleted BF3 after the first day (not even worth the free PS+ download) if i pay 80$ for BF4 i better get free server hosting (none of this bull$#@! 3 month rentals) and free premium service, and whatever other DLC they decide to cut from the main game so they can charge instead.Vanik Tetsu'ya

I pay it because I can. Sure its not worth $80 because of what they pack into it, but its worth $80 to me because of the time I spend on it and the experience I get from playing with other people online.
I can ask the same question about any single player game. Why do people pay $60 for The Last of Us? Its a single player game with multiplayer that I'd never touch. People do it though. My brain hurts as to why anyone would buy that game day one or get excited by a MGS game. Just take your PS3 controller to a theatre instead of buying a MGS game
See how utterly stupid that sounded. Its different strokes for different folks. People who play EA games play them religiously and get their value out of what they pay. EA knows this, EA will get away with charging more, and most customers probably wont feel like they got ripped off.
I wont feel bad when I pay $80 and spend the majority of the PS4 gaming drought playing a EA sports game while others are only complaining that Sony has no games.Last edited by DuhWhitePanda; 07-14-2013 at 15:08.

How can ea raise prices for next gen games when i imagine games will be less difficult to program for given the more pc innards in ps4/360? If it is true, i just won't buy their games. Period..again, if it is true..then $#@! you ea.

yea EA's gonna have to make their own console and sell games at whatever price they want. See who picks up the tab then.
It seems as if every other Spartan in the Halo universe is cooler and more interesting than Master Chief, yet they all died at the beginning of Halo 1.

07-14-2013 #74
So that one guy of EA Support who answered your question has no info. ...but that does not mean there are no infos about the price yet at all! I clear denial sounds different from that statement.
Anyway, we'll see....
we as customers have much power, as we just saw by MS do their 180. We could give EA our answer, too, if they really will make prices like rumored here.

text: Debian Updates There are various methods to installing new programs on a Debian system. I like to classify them according to your connection type. Code: dpkg This is the "classic" way of updating a Debian system. Typically, you could go to Debian's website or any one of its mirrors and download a package. Code: dpkg -i package.deb to install it. The main drawback to this is that you may find a package that you like but it may have dependencies (ie. other programs that it needs to make it run) and if you don't have those packages, then the install will fail. This is what the Debian people themselves have to say about this method: Many people find this approach much too time-consuming, since Debian evolves so quickly -- typically, a dozen or more new packages are uploaded every week. This number is larger just before a new major release. To deal with this avalanche, many people prefer to use automated programs. Despite what they say, the main advantage of dpkg, it seems to me, is that it is easy for people who have dial-up connections. This is because the alternative, automated programs they're talking about, which are dselect and apt-get are better for permanent connections (cable, xDSL, T1, T3). Let's talk about this method of installing new programs with Debian. Code: dselect When you use dselect you get a graphic user interface of sorts (not under X window, though) to guide you through the install of new programs. First you'll get asked for your preferred access method. That means, how you're going to get and install them. For example, if I were doing an install of Debian with CDs, then I would choose CD-ROM. But if I were updating, I would choose FTP Then you would choose the packages you want with a + sign. You can even put updates on hold (indicate that you want to update, but not actually do it) with a = sign. There may even be conflicts or dependency problems and 'dselect' will warn you about those. Then you start the process by choosing the install option. Debian will then configure the installed packages. Then you're on your way. As I said before, the main advantage to this is that any conflicts or dependency problems will be resolved right here. The Debian people point out that this is ideal for installs or large-scale upgrades. If that's the case, it seems that a slow and sometimes expensive dial-up connection would be less than ideal for this.

But you already knew that. But the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration called the data "one small part" of the wider probe into runaway Toyotas. They also gave an exact breakdown of what they found in the 58 electronic data recorders, or EDRs: Advertisement Advertisement Of the 58 cases studied, thirty-five recorders showed that no brake was applied. Fourteen cases involved partial braking: nine cases where brakes were applied late in the crash sequence; three involving early braking; and two involving mid-event braking. One incident involved a case of pedal entrapment. Another showed that both the brake and the gas pedal were depressed. In one case the recorder only contained information related to a separate incident and in another, NHTSA is still working to resolve inconclusive data from an EDR. In five cases, the EDR was not triggered at all.This briefing to Congress also included a detailed discussion of how NHTSA has enlisted NASA engineers to tear apart Toyota's electronics, including work at Chrysler's headquarters in Auburn Hills and at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland.What NHTSA didn't spell out was any deadline for final answers: Sponsored At this early point in its investigation, NHTSA officials have drawn no conclusions about additional causes of unintended acceleration in Toyotas beyond the two defects already known – pedal entrapment and sticking gas pedals.For now, dealers will just have to keep their hacksaws at the ready.

VIDEO: The Big Draw at the Copper Door
Aimee Murillo |
Deep inside the cavernous Copper Door, visitors gather together on 30 feet of communal drawing space to drink, draw to music by local DJs in a monthly event called The Big Draw. The Copper Door features entertainment nightly, but nothing so interactive and engaging as this, which has been happening for a couple of years. I explored this event in order to figure out what's the draw is for The Big Draw- what inspires these adults on a weeknight to push oil crayons around a giant piece of paper like a bunch of three-year-olds (spoiler alert: alcohol is involved). Enjoy!

The news that Miranda Kerr will no longer be a Victoria's Secret Angel struck yesterday and stirred plenty of intense reactions from fans. There were numerous allegations concerning the supermodel's "difficult reputation" and concerning the fact that she doesn't produce as much sales revenue as Candice Swanepoel, Alessandra Ambrosio and Adriana Lima. The same sources claimed that while she will still be present for this year's Victoria's Secret show, her $1 million contract will not be renewed. Fortunately for fans of the Aussie model, these...

And did I mention that I am a new aunty to a gorgeous baby girl?
Quote from: Autumn Rose on June 20, 2012, 08:43:04 PMAnd did I mention that I am a new aunty to a gorgeous baby girl? a baby girl that will hopefully feel very close to her cousin one day when it turns out that they share part of their name.Think of it this way: If your child had been born first, and then someone in the family took your child's first name to be their kid's middle name, might you not think that was sort of an homage to your kid? a link between them?It's just chronologically happening in a funny order, because you're a little bit later than expected.In a way, it's not horrible at all!

The Globe and Mail (October 13, 2009): Digital Technology Eyed in Fight Against Alzheimer's
Researchers in several countries are beginning to explore new uses for digital technology in treating Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia and the University of Toronto is playing an important part.
Devices resulting from this line of inquiry are sometimes known as "cognitive prosthetics", a name intended to communicate their true ability: Not rehabilitation, merely assistance. Dementias, including Alzheimer's, remain incurable.
Eight years ago, Dr. Ronald Baecker initiated cognitive prosthetics research at the University of Toronto's Knowledge Media Design Institute (KMDI), of which he is the founder and currently, the interim director.
At KMDI's offices on St. George Street, Masashi Crete-Nishihata, a research assistant, shows off a cognitie prosthetic. It's a palm-sized, square, black object with an optical lens on the front. Next to the lens, there was a grey, bulbous protrusion, the size of half a grape. A loop of string had been attached to the top of the object's plastic casing.

Canadian AP journalist wounded, German photographer killed in Afghanistan
Friday, Apr 04, 2014 04:00 pm
A Canadian journalist was wounded and a German photographer killed Friday when an Afghan policeman shouting "God is Great!" opened fire on them with an AK-47 as they sat in a car in eastern Afghanistan.
Kathy Gannon, 60, who was born in Timmins, Ont., and her colleague Anja Niedringhaus, 48, were on assignment for the Associated Press news agency when the incident occurred on the outskirts of Khost.
Gannon, shot three times in the attack, underwent surgery and was reported in stable condition, according to the news agency.
Niedringhaus, an internationally acclaimed photographer, was killed instantly.
Gannon, who joined AP in the mid-1980s, has reported on Afghanistan for nearly three decades.
Considered the dean of foreign reporters in the war-wracked country, Gannon is known for her encyclopedic knowledge of the region and fearless pursuit of stories.
"Kathy Gannon's writing on Afghanistan helped shape my mental map of the country, and Anja Niedringhaus' pictures helped illustrate it," said Stephanie Levitz, a journalist with The Canadian Press who has reported from Afghanistan.
Gannon and Niedringhaus were in a convoy of election workers delivering ballots under the protection of the Afghan National Army and Afghan police when attacked.
Witnesses said they were in their own car with a freelancer and a driver waiting for the convoy to move when the unit commander walked up and opened fire on them.
The commander, called Naqibullah, surrendered and was arrested.
According to the provincial chief of police, Naqibullah, 25, told authorities his impromptu attack was to avenge the deaths of family members in a NATO bombing.
John Daniszewski, AP's vice-president and senior managing editor for international news, said Gannon and Niedringhaus often worked together as a team.
"Kathy Gannon is a brave and passionate journalist whose expertise and deep knowledge and experience of both Afghanistan and Pakistan have made her an indispensable authority on the region," Daniszewski said.
Murray Brewster, another Canadian Press reporter who has covered Afghanistan extensively, described her as "a colleague who was always so generous with her time and wisdom."
Globe and Mail reporter Les Perreaux called Gannon "one of those legendary reporters who never fails to be a generous mentor."
Gannon arrived in the Pakistani city of Peshawar in 1986.
Shortly after the 2001 U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan, the Taliban allowed her and a colleague into the country � the only journalists let in.
They covered the bombing campaign from Kabul by candlelight, with Gannon at one point thrown across the room as a bomb landed near the AP bureau.
Gannon, who went to high school in Timmins before studying at Cambrian College in Sudbury, Ont., has said she knew early in her career that she wanted to travel abroad but realized her options were limited with the Canadian media.
"I sold everything I owned, which wasn't much, and set out to become the foreign correspondent I'd always wanted to be," she wrote in her 2006 book, "I is for Infidel, From Holy War to Holy Terror: 18 Years Inside Afghanistan."
Afghanistan's violence has touched Canadian journalists on several occasions.
Calgary Herald reporter Michelle Lang was killed when the troop carrier she was in rolled over a roadside bomb in December 2009. Before that, Toronto Star reporter Kathleen Kenna was badly hurt in a grenade attack in 2002, while Radio Canada reporters, Patrice Roy and Charles Dubois, were seriously wounded by an improvised explosive device in 2007.
Gannon has been repeatedly recognized for her work. She won the International Women's Media Foundation Courage in Journalism award in 2002 and received the Edward R. Murrow fellowship from the Council on Foreign Relations during 2003-2004.
