Greg Hardmon set up his team for a local game last year.
The Blade/Andy Morrison

Buy This Image
For Greg Hardmon of Toledo, the Super Bowl is already over.
He recently won the 2008 world championship of electric football at the Miggle Toys Electric Football World Championships and Convention in Livonia, Mich.
Hardmon, a member of the 30-team Great Lakes Electric Football League, defeated Jimbo Dunagan of Chicago, who plays in the Midwest EFL, 7-0, in the title game.
This was Hardmon's first electric football convention and to qualify for the championship game he had to win his division via a round-robin format. He used miniature football figures painted with the logo and colors of the University of Michigan.
First introduced in 1947, Electric Football is widely known for the buzz sound the metal board makes when the electricity is turned on. Seen as a "football/chess-like" competition, the game is generally played by two or more "coaches," utilizing miniature player figures painted in the uniforms of college squads, current NFL franchises, and several historic pro teams no longer in existence.
The line "I sound my barbaric yawp" was penned by what poet: E.E. Cummings, Allen Ginsberg, Walt Whitman, or T.S. Eliot?
Toledoan Chad Justen wasn't sure, so he decided not to risk his winnings on ABC's Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. He bowed out on that $25,000 question and walked away with $16,000.
Justen, 33, appeared Thursday and yesterday on the game show, which airs at 12:30 p.m. weekdays on WTVG, Channel 13. He and his wife, Adrienne, 32, went to New York City in September for the taping.
Millionaire contestants face questions with escalating difficulty and value. Had Justen guessed incorrectly on the $25,000 question, he would have fallen back to $1,000 in winnings, according to a publicist.
The correct answer: Walt Whitman, from his poem "Song of Myself."
The Toledo Museum of Art has named Rod Bigelow as chief operating officer effective Monday. He succeeds Carol Bintz, who will retire after 17 years at the museum.
Bigelow will oversee finance, human resources, information technology, facilities, maintenance, and protective services. He was at the Art Institute of Seattle since June, 2005, as director of administrative and financial services, and previously worked at the Tacoma Art Museum as chief financial officer.
Bigelow has a masters of business administration degree from Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, Wash.
The free recital by violinist and conductor Dora Mullins tomorrow in the Recital Hall of the University of Toledo's Center for Performing Arts has been canceled due to illness, according to a spokesman at UT.
No new date for her performance has been determined.

Reviews for The Difference |
The Meibito chapter 5 . 6/4/2011 Holy cricket, this is adorable! xD I love your portrayal of Rachel. Never really saw her that way, but I didn't consider it OOC, because... just because. I never really paid attention to her, actually, except for that one quest where she switches bodies. She seemed a rather quietly rebellious girl to me. xD '"Have you ever considered cutting your—" Rachel shut her mouth as Escad fixed her with a withering glare, and she swore that his blonde head began shining prettier than usual for emphasis.' I. Loved. This. xD I always liked the idea of poking around with his hair. Escad is so unloved in this fandom. Frankly, he's up a bit more than Toto and Elazul in my bishonen scale. I especially loved his comedic self in the manga. 8D Anyway, sorry for rambling. I just love Escad. xD |
The Meibito chapter 1 . 6/4/2011 OMG. xD EscadxRachel. Now that's a pairing I've never seen or even thought about. 'of course we were concerned at first, until I heard that he ran around in a skirt.' Priceless. xD I might just ship these two. I'm really easily influenced. You made them sound so darned cute! 8'D |
ganetto rain chapter 1 . 10/9/2009 Escad and Rachel? I admit, that was one pairing I never really thought about (okay, frankly I'm the sort of person who goes for canon most of the time T_T) but I think you wrote them both across really well. I love how you wrote Rachel not as the repressed girl she was during the game but as a mature, quick and witty young woman; and Escad as someone who's finally learning to move on from his past. And I think this pairing really does have potential, and your fic really brings it across - two people running, in a sense, from their old selves, brought together. Nice work here! (: |
Shiznit chapter 1 . 9/22/2008 Holy SH*T! I laughed so hard that it was criminal! XD Amazing, and I don't care about the typos! You have a flair for both drama, romance, humor, and just plain silliness bound to stick with you for the rest of the day! Waffles! _ |
Tiamat42 chapter 1 . 1/19/2008 Tee hee...I did say I would like to see you do this pairing, didn't I? Well, I still do. Expand it into a real story! I can see, whatsit, potential here. Little glimpses of what might be a very complicated and intriguing relationship. Run on sentences, hyphens and all. |
Cheetah Smith chapter 1 . 1/18/2008 Took this one with a grain or two of salt, that I did. Though, I'm happy to see Escad finally get some romance of his own. Poor guy, abused and used by the fandom... This is one of the more unusual, and and actually, one of the more refreshing pairings I've seen. Not my thing, but I'm just glad it's not Jumi-related for once! Tried to take the 1 Sentence, 50 Themes challene over at Live-Journal myself with a claim on EscadxHeroine (OTP ftw... |

Heart delivers the hits
The best way for classic rockers with no recent hits to keep their careers alive is to get a song on the "Guitar Hero" video game and play the fairs. And it seems now that just about anybody who had a taste of popularity in the '70s or '80s can sell out Pacific Amphitheatre during the Orange County Fair.
Heart, with the Bangles opening, did just that Friday night (July 27), and had the crowd on its feet for most of its show.
It's not so unusual: These days it's as if Foghat, even with its two main members having passed away, could headline a bill with, say, Thin Lizzy (whose singer, Phil Lynott, is also long dead) and fill the house. If I were a rock band manager, I'd be on the phone trying to scrape together whoever's left from Humble Pie, get them ready for the summer of 2008.
Of course, then you get into the discussion of whether you're really seeing Foghat, Thin Lizzy, Humble Pie … and was that truly Heart on stage Friday night?
One of the group's first area shows, right after its "Dreamboat Annie" debut came out in 1976, was at the O.C. Fair. But the only members in the current six-member version of the band who played at that show were sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson.
That's OK, since it's really been the Wilsons' band along, despite key contributions in the early days from long-departed guitarist Roger Fisher. Even in the '70s, only the Wilson sisters were pictured on album covers. As long as Ann and Nancy are there, that's Heart.
And it's likely that 90-plus percent of the people at Friday's Pacific show didn't know the names of the other musicians now in Heart, nor did they care. They came to party, they wanted the hits, and their party got the hits - and the party band played them well enough to make everyone happy.
They even got some other bands' hits, too - and those were the highlights of the evening.
The Wilsons have revived Led Zeppelin numbers during their encores for decades - your memory might recall "Rock and Roll" at the California Jam in '78. Friday night brought a heckuva one-two encore punch, starting with a semi-reworked "Black Dog" followed by a carbon-copy "Misty Mountain Hop." They presented hot versions of both.
But the top cover was Nancy handling the vocals and leading the way on Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' "You Wreck Me" - perhaps not one of Petty's big ones but certainly one of his better ones. Nancy and the band nailed it.
Of course, there were Heart hits, too: a galloping "Barracuda," a tough "Magic Man," a routine "Crazy on You." But, friends, let us take a moment to recall a dark time during the history of rock 'n' roll, a period when power ballads spread a scary shadow on the landscape. Heart was among those who contributed to this evil in the '80s, and Friday night the Wilsons reminded us of the horror by performing "These Dreams." Doing so had much educational value, because, as Santayana wrote, those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
Another lesson learned from attending many shows at the fair: Forget about playing any sort of ballad on the heels of rockers, no matter who you are. People dying to talk to each other but who could not do so during louder tunes exploit the opportunity provided by quieter songs and get chatty like it's their darned high school reunion. As soon as Heart started in on "Dog and Butterfly," the conversing began, nobody paid attention to the music, and Ann could have changed the words to "the penguin and the stegosaurus" and nobody would have noticed.
But back to the sunnier side, the good stuff: "Keep Your Love Alive," although not one of their radio hits, has always been one of Heart's best live songs, and the Wilsons know it, so here it was again Friday. "Bebe Le Strange" was kind of slinky, in a good way, and "Little Queen" had a funkier feel than usual.
And speaking of "Little Queen," Ann sure as heck isn't. But her voice remains strong, and nuanced when needed. That's the most important thing she brings to the table: Her chops as a rock 'n' roll singer.
And speaking of Mama Cass, the Bangles did a pretty nice job Friday night covering the Mamas & the Papas' "Go Where You Want to Go." Unfortunately, it was their one highlight.
You know, women have climbed the ladder in so many fields. Women tennis players are getting equal pay at Wimbledon. There are excellent female film directors. There are female CEOs. Heck, we might get a woman president pretty soon.
But in rock? Sure, we have Chrissie Hynde and Melissa Etheridge and X's Exene Cervenka. Janis Joplin might have been the greatest rock singer ever. But why oh why can't we get a good all-woman rockin' band? The Bangles at their best are extraordinarily ordinary.
It was a mystery why people hustled into Pacific to catch them when they could have been outside at the fair enjoying deep-fried desserts.

11 year old miniature gelding critique 6 Attachment(s) This is Comet, aka Lutes Noble Tradition. What do you guys think? His pedigree: Lutes Noble Tradition Miniature Attachment 104120 Attachment 104121 Attachment 104122 Attachment 104123 Attachment 104124 And just because we're pretty cute.. Attachment 104125 |
He's buck kneed, which is scary. He's got a giant shoulder, which isn't a good thing, and his neck ties in really low. He toes out both in the fore and the hind. He has a long coupling, which makes for a weak back. He's butt high with a bit of a steep croup, and looks camped out in the back. |
This is a horse that exhibits what you get when you selectively breed for a single trait to create a breed of animal. In this case the selection criteria was size, and the result is an animal that has some serious dysfunctions. The little guy is very pretty marked, but his head is too large for the rest of him. His neck ties in too low and there is no definition to his chest. He has a nice short back and a well rounded rump which carry into a set of hind legs that, while seemingly correct, are under stress from clubbed feet. His hocks appear to be capped, but I suspect that is the early stages of arthritis or contracted tendons behind, both common to this breed. His shoulder is ok, but not well defined due to his oversized and low tied in neck. His front legs are seriously over at the knee and his legs extend down to front feet that are, again, somewhat clubbed. The knees are over it seems in part due to contracted tendons, which contribute to the clubbed front feet. He is narrow chested and he toes out in front. All that being said, he looks to be a wonderful pet with a good disposition and he is very pretty marked. Enjoy him! |

LinkA poster for the fourth season of "Game of Thrones." (HBO)
LinkThe return of "Game of Thrones" is just weeks away, and a new trailer suggests that the infamous Red Wedding promises to have great impact on the surviving characters as Season 4 unfolds.
In the latest promotional clip for HBO's massively popular and critically acclaimed political fantasy series, based on George R.R. Martin's bestselling "A Song of Ice and Fire" book series, Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) asks her husband Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage), "Do you know what they did to my brother — and my mother? I lie awake all night thinking about how they died."
Death, of course, is all too common in the world of Westeros, but the Red Wedding, the event that helped draw Season 3 to a close with the gruesome murder of several important members of the Stark clan, unquestionably ranks as one of the series' most shocking moments.
Of course, fans familiar with Martin's saga are well aware that "All Men Must Die" — the phrase serves as the Season 4 tagline.
Premiering April 6, the upcoming season follows the events of the second half of Martin's third book in the series, "A Storm of Swords," but also introduces occurrences and characters from other novels, including the Dornish Prince Oberyn Martell (Pedro Pascal). The so-called Red Viper who comes to King's Landing seeking vengeance is seen talking with Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) in the new clip.
As for the familiar characters, Jon Snow (Kit Harington) must prepare to defend the Wall against a Wildling invasion; Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), handless and shaken, struggles to find his place in the kingdom; and cruel King Joffrey (Jack Gleeson) finally is set to wed Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer).
Meanwhile, Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) continues her conquest of Slaver's Bay after having freed the slaves of Yunkai, but as her dragons mature and grow and her empire expands, she finds herself grappling with her leadership role.
Click through the gallery above for a more detailed look at Season 4, and let us know what you think of the latest trailer in the comments.

Real Weddings Vintage Chic
Budget Beautiful Canoe Brewpub Centric Photography Hot Cocoa St. Ann's Academy Chapel
Working on an $11,000 budget (which actually ended up being $8500), the bride really had to look for creative ways to get a lot of bang for her buck…which of course, included fun DIY projects that Stephanie enlisted her friends and family to help out with . Wait until you hear about all of the little details that she crafted!
photography by Stephanie Rae Hull of Centric Photography (so fab by the way)
From Leah…
As for decor and DIY, I am so very thankful to you for many of my realisations. One of our two wedding favours was a twist on your hot cocoa DIY winner: I handmade it in my style, and filled the vintage inspired bag with cocoa and home baked (thanks mom) cookies using my grandma's famous shortbread recipe that I printed out and put inside in memory of what a wonderful lady she was!
We also had a great mixed CD made by Michael, using an awesome kit from The MOMA design store that made them look like vintage vinyl records. Our invitations were gocco printed by Lori Ming– another featured designer on your site. She was sweet enough to let me tinker a bit with her terrifically stylish design. Our save the dates set the tone with a vintage feel: we used pastel coloured library cards and holders, and typed them up on a 1936 corona.
Here are some pics of the DIY…
Even more to come!

Jason Heyward never thought he would be waking up by 8 a.m. on a regular basis during the offseason. But at the same time, the Braves' young outfielder never anticipated experiencing the kind of season that has motivated him to work harder than he ever has in preparation for the next season.
"I've gone into every offseason with the same mindset and I've left every offseason with the same mindset -- that I did the best I could," Heyward said. "This offseason, I'm taking the approach we're going to do the best that we can. But we're going to do it the hardest we can also.
"It takes some time. But I'm glad I'm learning this stuff at 22 [years old] and not having to fight my way through the tail end."

The 1920s Mediterranean-style house that Jon Hamm shares with longtime girlfriend Jennifer Westfeldt does, in fact, sit on a hill—an honest-to-goodness, nonmetaphorical geologic elevation that looks out over the neighborhood of Los Feliz and east toward the expanses of lesser Los Angeles beyond. Still, on a sunny morning when Hamm has agreed to take me on a tour of the homes he has occupied since arriving in L.A., it's hard not to see it through a haze of myth: the end point in a story that—not unlike Mad Men, the show that's made Hamm famous—is part American Fairy Tale, part American Gothic.
So bring out the capitals: Call it the House on the Hill.
Leaning up against the front door is a cardboard FedEx box addressed to Westfeldt and containing a dress for the actress to wear, a few days later, at the Emmys, where Mad Men will win basic cable's first-ever Best Drama award. "I've been trying on dresses all week," Westfeldt apologizes, upon opening the door. Blond, slim, and flustered, she drags the box inside with one hand while holding off Cora, an energetic pit bull–shepherd mix, with the other. She cocks her head upstairs, mock-aggrieved. "Meanwhile, he just throws on a tux and looks great, you know?"
Well, actually, yes, we'd noticed. If you know one thing about Hamm, it's likely that, as Mad Men's Don Draper, he occupies a suit with the physical genius of Michael Phelps sliding into water.
Today, though, he descends the stairs wearing plaid shorts, a white linen shirt, and soccer sneakers. Hamm unsuited is kind of a frat guy, every inch the rabid sports fan and former high school football star. He says things like "Dude" and "Sweet" and "Dude, sweet!" On his head is a St. Louis Browns cap (facing frontward, thank the Lord). He looks like the kind of guy who is physically compelled to put on shorts the moment the temperature tops fifty-five degrees, a diagnosis he cheerfully confirms. Credit the totemic power of a suit, but he looks a full ten years younger than Don Draper, with about half the weight on his shoulders. How it is that the actor manages to make his '60s adman so much more than just another perfect design element on Mad Men's gorgeously curated set is not yet clear.
"This is going to be great," he says of our planned itinerary, a looping route through a city that he's embraced as perhaps only a midwesterner can. "One: You're going to get to see a shitload of L.A." He pauses, grins giddily. "Two: I have an awesome car."
The ride is a sleek, brand-new 2009 Audi S4—its exterior and interior going by the downright Draperific names Meteor Gray and Magma Red, respectively. Hamm bought the car only after getting the green light from his business manager. "He said, 'I spend my days trying to restrain guys from buying Ferraris when they score a onetime guest shot on According to Jim. I think you're going to be fine,' " Hamm says. It probably helped ease the man's mind that Hamm had also just finished shooting his part as the heavy in the Keanu Reeves eco-sci-fi blockbuster The Day the Earth Stood Still. "It's the first car I've ever had that wasn't 'responsible,' " he adds, accelerating onto the I-5. The freeway is uncharacteristically free of traffic. But then, it's been that kind of year.
Our first stop: a modest, English-cottage-style bungalow in the neighborhood known as West Los Angeles. This is where Hamm's aunt and uncle lived back in 1995, when Hamm arrived on Thanksgiving weekend. Everything he owned was in a beat-up ten-year-old Corolla. In the rearview mirror was St. Louis.
The Gateway City in the '70s and '80s was a declining urban center surrounded by white-flight suburbs. Hamm's family's fortunes seemed to mirror the place perfectly. His mother, Deborah, had moved to St. Louis from a small town in Kansas at 18 years old to find work as a secretary. She met and married an older widower who already had two daughters. Dan Hamm's family business, Daniel Hamm Drayage Co., had once provided horses to drag goods from laden barges up the banks of the Missouri River, there to be distributed all across the country. By the time Dan took over, shipping advances had long since diminished St. Louis's role as any kind of real gateway. He sold his once quintessentially American business and looked for work in the economy that replaced it: He peddled cars for a while. He dabbled in advertising.
When Hamm was 2, his parents divorced. He lived with his mother and saw his father on weekends, sometimes tagging along to joints like Al Baker's Restaurant, where Dan—nicknamed the Whale for his six-foot-three, 300-pound frame and outsize personality—would conduct business while Jon played under the piano. At home, Deborah was devoted to giving her only son a well-rounded, active education.
It was, in fact, on a trip to the St. Louis Art Museum that she disappeared into the bathroom and didn't come out for a long time. Hamm, then 10, had to ask a stranger to go in and check on his mother. Not long after, he came home from school to find his father waiting with the news that Deborah was in the hospital. Doctors had removed her cancer-stricken colon along with two feet of intestine, but it was obvious the malignancy had spread much further. "From then on, it was just pain management and deathwatch," Hamm says.
Deborah had been a devout Catholic, but for the simplest and most intuitive reasons, her death marked the end of churchgoing for her son. Nobody offered the 10-year-old therapy. ("This was the Midwest, my friend. Not New York. I think they gave me a book: How to Deal with the Death of a Parent.") He was moved into the house that Dan shared with his own mother. It was the musty, cluttered home of an old lady. His grandmother, Hamm says, in a tone that suggests understatement, "was not the nicest person."
"We were three generations living under one roof, which is difficult in the best of circumstances," he says. "She probably felt like I was this weird kid who'd come along and was taking her son's attention away in the winter of her years. The blessing was that school started at 8 a.m. and ended at 5 p.m., so I could spend a lot of time outside of the house."
I'd been struck by how often Hamm's high school came up in interviews he'd done—far more often, that is, than you would expect from a 37-year-old man hanging out with movie stars. At his house, he takes me upstairs to a small office filled with yearbooks, plaques for senior-athlete achievement, prom pictures (let's just say he cleans up a little better these days), and other adolescent ephemera. It's clear that the John Burroughs School—the kind of progressive place where one could be both a middle linebacker and the lead in Godspell without being compelled to beat oneself up—was a salvation. "It was stimulating, safe, and filled with friends," he says. Hamm became the kid who was always around other people's houses—popping up at the dinner table, crashing in the basement: "I knew where all the spare keys were kept." In particular, three of his pals' mothers took it upon themselves to look out for him. Their names, because such women should be acknowledged, are Maryanne Simmons, Susie Wilson, and Carolyn Clarke.
"We all felt a sense of responsibility to help mother him," says Simmons, whose son befriended Hamm in the seventh grade. She and the others remember Dan Hamm as supportive—a backslapping, quietly joking presence at football games and school plays—but diminished, grateful to the women Hamm calls his "three moms" but also a little sheepish about it. "You got the feeling that he had once been Dan with a capital D, but not anymore," Simmons says.
In fact, the onetime Whale was suffering from advanced diabetes, at one point losing 120 pounds in a matter of months. "He was basically dying of a hard life," Hamm says, eyes fixed on the middle distance. "He'd fallen in love with two women. The first died and left him with two daughters to raise. The second divorced him, and then she died, too, leaving him with another kid. It was a heapin' helping of tragedy for any guy."
Outwardly, Hamm appeared untouched by his own man-sized portion of sorrow. "My first impression of him was of total intimidation," says Paul Rudd, who met Hamm through a mutual acquaintance in St. Louis. "He struck me as one of those unfair guys who are good-looking, really funny, and good at everything." Rudd is one of many who say that despite decades of friendship, he's never had a conversation with his friend about his mother's death.
When high school ended, Hamm headed for the University of Texas, trading the possibility of a football career (he'd been recruited by Ivy League schools) for an academic scholarship. During his first semester, Hamm's grandmother died. During his second, his father became more ill. On New Year's Day 1991, Dan died. Hamm was 20.
"I thought, Well, that's the end of that," he says.
Hamm finished college at the University of Missouri and kicked around St. Louis a bit more, but nobody was surprised when he packed up the Corolla with every-thing he owned and headed west. And so, on a November day, Hamm pulled up to the house outside which we're now idling in the Audi. His aunt and uncle were away for Thanksgiving, so Hamm—master of the spare key—let himself in. He spent the holiday sitting on the porch, calling friends, telling them, "Dude! It's eighty degrees! On Thanksgiving!"
There is, in fact, one earlier house in Hamm's L.A. story, omitted from our tour because the address is lost to history. This is the apartment fondly remembered as "The Shithole," where Hamm came to visit Rudd and another roommate, Bo, while still living in St. Louis. They spent two weeks on the couch, playing Madden football, inventing baroque Nintendo golfer names (Hammer Lou, Whipticle "Whip" Fadada, Nacho Heyerdahl: "The MexiSwede"), and eating takeout chicken from El Pollo Loco. On rare trips out, they went head-to-head in arcane, dice-based drinking games. "He is seriously the most competitive person I've ever met," Rudd says. He declines to name a game or sport in which he may have ever beaten his friend, for fear of retribution.
And so begins the Struggling Actor portion of the Hamm Tour. South down Sunset we go, into Silver Lake. We stop outside the rundown four-bedroom on Maltman Street where the actor lived with a rotating cast of roommates for years. Hamm lingers here fondly. The landlady, an ex–soap star, was kind enough to let him slide on the rent, and it was close to the crosstown buses on Western Avenue, so he could get to auditions those times he had no car. (Or even when he did, as one harrowing peek into the mind of a struggling actor reveals: "I was always terrified of parking garages, because they would say $1.50 per hour and I'd only have five bucks in my pocket. What if I ran late?")
On we go. West along Santa Monica. Left, down to Wilshire. We dip into Beverly Hills. You know you're a real Angeleno, Hamm says, when you perfect a route across town.
We swing by the headquarters of the William Morris Agency—a Death Star of a building, with its black, mirrored facade and interlocking WM logo that looks more like a sinister XXXX. This is where Hamm first found representation, the entire television department crowding into one tiny office to watch him audition. "They took me on because they saw a guy who could work," Hamm says. "And then I didn't. For three years."
He means this literally. For three years, Hamm did not score a single acting job. Which is not to say that delayed success didn't have its blessings. "If I were 21 and doing this, we'd be having a very different conversation," he says. "I see actors in this town who make it big young. They don't understand the word no: 'What do you mean I can't kill this elephant, drop it on a car, set it on fire, and then snort it?' Well, you just can't." (No, I don't know what parties Jon Hamm goes to; yes, I'd like to find out.)
Still, while nobody's pretending it's coal mining, auditioning without success is a singularly shitty way to attempt to make a living. As if on cue, Hamm recognizes a bearded man exiting his car on the sidewalk, across Beverly Boulevard. It's an actor who recently shot a guest part on Mad Men. "I'll bet you anything he's on an audition," Hamm says. "See? He's juicing the meter. Listening to his lines on his iPod." I can almost see him suppress a shudder before the light turns green.
At this point, our tour begins to encompass the ten years Hamm and Westfeldt have been together, with a notable corresponding increase in real estate quality. There's the pretty West Hollywood house with the Spanish gate where Westfeldt lived when the two hooked up. There's the bungalow in Thai Town where Hamm spent one year, telling Westfeldt that he just needed to know what it was like to have his own place. ("She got it.") Then their first place together: the huge second-floor apartment in Los Feliz with its view of the Griffith Observatory. Here, Hamm says, is where he first felt like an adult.
Meanwhile, the casting ice dam was show-ing signs of cracking. He scored a -nineteen-episode gig on the TV show Providence. That led to a host of roles on more programs with interchangeable titles taken from place names and bureaucratic departments: Point Pleasant, The Division, The Unit, and so on. He landed a role in Mel Gibson's Vietnam-era ego vehicle We Were Soldiers, which consisted primarily of gazing at Gibson in rapt admiration.
By now, Hamm was a veteran. So he knew that pinning one's hope on any one role is strictly a sucker's move. The lead in Mad Men was an even longer shot than most; AMC had never produced an original scripted drama series. It wasn't likely to take a chance by handing the lead to an unknown utility man. Nevertheless, somewhere in the midst of the seven-audition process, he found himself sitting in a New York bar with a friend and saying aloud, for the first time, "I really want this part."
Luckily, there was someone on the other side wishing just as fervently. As a writer for The Sopranos, Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner knew a little bit about what the right unknown actor, like James Gandolfini, could do for a series. He was convinced that Hamm was perfect for Don Draper—the illegitimate child of Depression-era losers who, through preternatural ambition, intuition, and a freakish twist of fate, reinvents himself as a prince of Madison Avenue.
"He looked like an old-fashioned leading man, like William Holden or Gregory Peck," Weiner says. "But he wasn't just a football player in a suit. You could see that he was intelligent. He was vulnerable. He was an adult."
When Hamm left the room after his first audition, Weiner turned to his casting director and said, with absolute confidence, "That man was not raised by his parents."
Every great television series reveals its entire story in its pilot. (Remember Tony and Dr. Melfi's first session? "Lately I'm getting the feeling that I came in at the end. The best is over.") In Mad Men, there was this exchange, between Draper and Rachel Menken, a prospective client. The subject is love:
Don: The reason you haven't felt it is because it doesn't exist. What you call "love" was invented by guys like me to sell nylons. You're born alone and you die alone, and this world just drops a bunch of rules on top of you to make you forget those facts. But I never forget. I'm living like there's no tomorrow, because there isn't one.
Rachel: I don't think I realized it until this moment, but it must be hard being a man, too.
Mad Men may superficially be about the perks of alpha-maledom, but it's also about its costs—the toll of living in the state of mortal combat that is the trade-off for absolute power. And it's about a generation caught between shifting tectonic plates of history. It's no accident that in talking about his star, Weiner invokes such premodern icons as Holden and Peck. They are precisely the men who will find themselves out of work as the Elliott Goulds of the world rise to leading-man status.
"It will be interesting, if we keep going, to see how Don deals with that, where he falls in the balance of power," Hamm says. "Because if Don is one thing, it's adaptable. He knows how to read a room."
He is also, in nearly every way—politically, socially, emotionally, professionally—on the wrong side. That the show actually makes you like, even envy, him is one of its more brilliant and perturbing strokes.
"Look, if you were a white man, Manhattan in the early '60s was a sandbox. There was tons of pussy. There were great restaurants, great bars, great strip bars—all within a $5 cab ride," Hamm says. "But in the end, that stuff is all soul-crushing—the way that Girls Gone Wild is soul-crushing. It'll make you want to kill yourself."
Hamm makes no secret of where this vein of desperation comes from. On a wall outside his office, he shows me a photo of a weathered man sitting in a dark-paneled room, wearing a tweed hat. Judging by the sideburns and the green stripe on his cardigan, the photo was taken in the late '70s. He's looking at the camera with an expression both bemused and filled with deep-seated regret. In one hand, held with instantly recognizable precision, is a burning cigarette. This is Dan Hamm in his declining years, but it could easily be Don Draper in his.
"I remember the first time I was in costume: I was sitting in my dressing room, running lines in the mirror, and I thought: Oh, my God! I look just like my father," Hamm says. "He was just so fucking sad. Here's this guy that looks like he's got the whole package, but there's nothing inside but sadness."
But Dan Hamm is only one part of the story. If you're looking for someone who understands that your world can be upended at any moment, who knows—like Draper or, for that matter, Jay Gatsby—how hard and perversely won is the freedom to pursue the American dream, to light out for the coast and reinvent yourself from whole cloth, for that, you might want to look not to the father but to the son
Back at Hamm and Westfeldt's home, we sit in the sun-drenched backyard, watching hummingbirds dart in and out of the trees. Cora dozes at Hamm's feet. At first, he says, the couple's decision not to get married was a pointed one. "We thought, Marriage is for squares," he says. "Now it's more that neither of us has particularly good models of what a marriage is supposed to be. It's not something we grew up wanting." (Being among the last of their friends to remain childless does put a crimp in the couple's social life, but as Hamm points out, "If you want to have dinner after 6 p.m., there are always the gays!")
"I believe that happiness is fleeting," he says. But that's not the same thing as saying it doesn't exist. "Look, I know I hit the jackpot here. I found this role that sits well on me. I've managed to become successful without any taint of compromise. I get to share it with my girl. I get how lucky I am."
Drying on the back of a porch chair is a wet suit he recently wore while participating in the swim leg of a charity triathlon in Malibu.
"You dive in the water and you think, Shit. It's cold. It's too far. I'll never make it," he remembers. "But then you take a deep breath. You get a little groove going. You concentrate on the next buoy, then the next one, then the next one. You start to enjoy the swim. And then, all of a sudden, it's like, 'Sweet. I'm here.' "

Cross country club takes fourth
The Manhattan Cross Country Club placed fourth among the best teams in a seven-state region at the Nike Heartland cross country regionals for high school runners Sunday this past weekend in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
The squad was comprised of the seven runners who one week earlier won the Class 6A state championship for Manhattan High School, the first for the Indians in 29 years. At the Nike meet Sunday, Manhattan knocked off state championship teams from Nebraska, North Dakota, Wisconsin and South Dakota.
But three teams from Minnesota got the better of Manhattan at the Nike Regionals. Edina won the meet with 106 points, followed by Wayzata at 135 and Stillwater at 204. Manhattan just missed the awards stand with 205 points.
The top two teams in the region advanced to the Nike High School Nationals in Portland, Ore., on Dec. 7.
Chris Melgares was 32nd overall for Manhattan, clocking in at 16:06. He was followed by teammates Jackson Schroeder (46th, 16:15), Jack Keeley (57th, 16:20), Josue Alvarado (84th, 16:35), Michael Melgares (87th, 16:36), Isaiah Koppes (98th, 16:44) and Nick Bandy (153rd, 17:11).
Manhattan also beat the state runner-up teams from Iowa and Nebraska, as well as the state champion from Minnesota's lower division. Jackson Schroeder was the second-highest finishing freshman in the race.
In the girls' championship race, Alaina Schroeder placed 29th in a time of 18:37 for 5K, just the second time running the distance this fall. Megan Ochoa was 115th in 19:54, while Molly Bollman (21:48) and Katherine Culbertson (22:04) placed 229th and 239th, respectively.
Manhattan was not able to field a full team in the girls' championship division.
Also Sunday, the Manhattan Cross Country Club's freshman/sophomore team placed third, led by Peter Gruenbacher's fifth-place finish at 17:13. The team scored 114 points behind scores of 52 and 87 by separate teams fielded by Wayzata.
Also scoring for the frosh/soph crew were Sam Morgan (21st, 18:00), Ethan Levin (36th, 18:49), Nolan Blankenau (43rd, 19:06) and Andy Fitch (51st, 19:31).
Lane Richards was 382nd (20:55) in the boys' open race, and Amber Hayen (24:45) was 229th in the girls' open race.
In the Community Open race, 13-year-old Cooper Schroeder was 44th overall and second in his age group with a time of 20:09. Susan Melgares was the female master's champion with a time of 21:40.

Anthony Mackie has joined Topher Grace, Chris Evans, Michelle Monaghan, Aubrey Plaza, and Giovanni Ribisi in the romantic dramedy, A Many Splintered Thing, to be directed by Justin Reardon, for McG's Wonderland Sound & Vision and Voltage Pictures.
Description of the project courtesy of Deadline:
In the vein of Amelie and (500) Days Of Summer, the film tells the story of a young man disillusioned by love who meets a breathtaking young woman at a charity dinner by pretending to be a philanthropist. Turns out that she's engaged to a guy who doesn't like her going on dates. Challenged by the chase, and egged on by his eclectic friends, he feigns a platonic relationship in order to keep seeing her as he tries to conquer her heart.
So who's playing what character in this?
It's not all entirely clear, but it looks like Evans will play the male lead, and Michelle Monaghan, the female lead.
Grace will play Evans' best friend.
As for Mackie, Plaza and Ribisi, your guess is as good as mine.
The film's script is a Black List screenplay penned by Chris Shafer & Paul Vicknair last year, as well as a 2011 Nicholl Fellowship Finalist.
So it must be good right?
Mackie, whi we last saw in this summer's Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, is a busy actor, with as many as 5 guaranteed projects scheduled for release in the next 12 to 24 months. One of those projects will see him paired with Evans again – Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

Mushroom and Cheese Tamales
Slideshow: Satisfying Vegetarian Recipes
- Servings: Makes about 14 tamales
- 2 large ears of corn, husks carefully removed and kept whole, silk discarded
- 2 cups (about 11 ounces) precooked cornmeal (See Note)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 pound fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
- Fourteen 1/2-inch cubes Monterey Jack cheese
- Tomatillo Sauce and Fresh Tomato Sauce, for serving
How to make this recipe
Cut the corn kernels from the cobs; you should have about 1 cup. Cook the kernels in 4 cups of boiling salted water until tender, about 4 minutes. Drain in a colander over a bowl and let the corn and liquid cool completely.
In a large skillet, toast the cornmeal over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.
Sauté the shiitake mushrooms in 1 tablespoon olive oil until tender.
In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal with the salt. Blend in the butter with your hands. Stir in the corn kernels, mushrooms and hot sauce. Using a wooden spoon, beat in about 2 cups of the reserved corn liquid, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well to incorporate as much air as possible; the dough should be very moist and light.
Separate the corn husks. Overlap 2 to 3 of the husks to make a 6-inch-wide wrapper for each tamale. mound 1/3 cup of the dough in the center of the husks and pat down slightly, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border all around. Push one cube of Monterey Jack cheese into each tamale. Wrap the husks around the filling to completely enclose it; allow room for the tamale dough to expand during cooking. Pinch the ends and tie tightly with string, leaving 1 inch of husk sticking out at each end.
Light a grill or preheat the oven to 500°. Grill the tamales over moderate heat, turning often, for about 8 minutes, or until browned and crisp outside and heated through. Alternatively, roast them in the oven for about 10 minutes. In either case the cooked tamales should feel firm and the husks should puff. Serve at once with the Tomatillo Sauce and Fresh Tomato Sauce.
Precooked cornmeal, ground from cooked corn kernels, is the key to quick tamales. Don't confuse this with standard cornmeal, which is made from dried uncooked corn kernels. Goya's precooked cornmeal, also called masarepa, is the most widely available. P.A.N., from Venezuela, is another good brand. For information on stores near you, call 800-275-4692.

Human settlement of the New World occurred in three separate stages and involved a 20,000-year layover on the land bridge that once connected Asia to the Americas, scientists say.
The trip was also a much larger affair than previously thought, involving about 4,500 individuals instead of the hundred or fewer previously estimated to have made the journey.
"Our model makes for a more interesting, complex scenario than the idea that humans diverged from Asians and expanded into the New World in a single event," said study co-author Connie Mulligan.
(Related news: "Did First Americans Arrive By Land and Sea?" [November 6, 2003].)
The study, conducted by researchers at the University of Florida, appeared in a recent edition of the journal PLoS ONE.
Beringia Land Bridge
The researchers compared differences in the DNA sequences of modern Native American and Asian populations.
"By looking at the kinds and frequencies of these mutations in modern populations, we can get an idea of when the mutations arose and how many people were around to carry them," said study co-author Michael Miyamoto.
According to the new theory, humans heading east after leaving Asia about 40,000 years ago were blocked by two huge glaciers that met at present-day Alaska.
With no way forward, the humans settled on the land bridge, called Beringia, that connected Asia and North America.
There they remained for 20,000 years. Beringia was cold and harsh, comparable to winters in modern-day Siberia. Small populations of mammoth, bison, caribou, and other animals provided sustenance for the migrants.
Over time descendants developed a unique culture—one that was different from the original migrants' way of life in Asia but which contained seeds of the new cultures that would eventually appear throughout the Americas.
Then about 15,000 years ago the world warmed and a path through the glaciers opened up. After generations of perhaps imagining what lands might lie beyond the impassable walls of ice, the people living in Beringia moved east into North America.
(See a map of human migration routes about 15,000 years ago.)
Testable Theory
One of the virtues of the new theory is that it is testable, said David Meltzer, an archaeologist at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, who was not involved with the research.
Rising seas submerged much of Beringia about 10,000 years ago.
But if humans once lived in the region, archaeological evidence should exist, Meltzer said.
"The [new study's] model implies a long term and significant archaeological presence that, to date, has yet to be found," he said.
"[But] that does not mean it won't be."

Small forward was the thin spot in the Celtics' armor from the moment final cuts were made. When you need four centers to have a hope of two playable, something has to give elsewhere. At every other position the Green had at least four players that could reasonably play, but behind Pierce and Daniels there were only options that were a stretch. Ray Allen is probably most capable but you both weaken shooting guard and spend the energy of your best shooter fighting taller, heavier, and stronger not-really-all-that-small forwards. Von Wafer is giving up even more height and weight; Delonte more yet; and Bradley is undersized even at the two. Going the other direction Harangody has appropriate height but is slow afoot, short a-jump, and lacks both agility and the experience to help make up for his other drawbacks as a three. Big Baby is the right height but moving him down to small forward turns his advantages into liabilities. In his prime Garnett might have given you some minutes as a terrifying nightmare for three's but those days were before his arrival in Boston. Besides you weaken PF, lengthen rather than shorten minutes, and big men have become an endangered species with the plethora of injuries.
Nope, there is no really good answer on the current roster. Wafer is the cleanest dirty shirt and, quite honestly, has done a credible job; somewhat to my surprise. So much so that he has altered my perception of the difficulty facing the C's in light of Marquis' frightening injury and uncertain future. Von is an inch shorter than Marquis and neither comes close to being brawny; but defense is a startlingly new concept for Wafer and he lacks the wile with which the crafty Daniels augments his borderline (at least at the three) physical assets. It's not ideal but the Celtics' defensive scheme supplements whomever has to check the murderer's row that is the NBA's most powerful skill position. Seldom does a single player shut down LeBron, Gay, Granger, Melo, Jackson, Deng, Odem, Smith, …--in fact there aren't many, if any, "nights off" since this is usually the opposition's most prolific scorer. Von won't either, but then no likely replacement will.
Still, it's a need and Wafer's efforts may have dropped it from critical to pressing, or maybe significant; and exasperating the situation is the strong desire to limit our aging All-Star wingmen's minutes to the low thirties rather than pushing forty. Compounding the problem, and the difficulty of finding any reasonable solution, are a number of factors—some known, some murky, and some in which the uncertainty is a problem in and of itself.
First, foremost, and perhaps most critical and uncertain is whether Marquis Daniels can/should/will return, will he want to, and when might this occur. Even if/when he could physically return, will there still be a crippling mental aftereffect. This is not the kind of injury which X-rays or an MRI will indicate healing bone or muscle repaired. In fact he may be symptom free within days, almost certainly within a couple of weeks, but that doesn't mean he is "ready," nor is there an exact timetable (or even an inexact one) of how long is long enough. Paralysis ranks rather highly on the list of undesirable outcomes of sports participation. Resuming his basketball career presents a real, even if not calculable, possibility of reoccurrence, and this time the loss of movement could be permanent. Lying there on that floor unable to move his arms and legs, Marquis would not be human if he did not contemplate that this was not the way he wanted to spend the rest of his life. This year and last Daniels felled himself by sweeping his head into/across the torso of an opponent. This wasn't being pole-axed by a Dwight Howard elbow or Andrew Bynum coming down on him or even crashing to the floor after being undercut. When he bodies up LeBron or Nowitzki, reaches in to swipe the ball from Melo or Odem, or cuts off the path of Jackson or Deng (and these are all common examples of Marquis' pesky defense), will he draw back realizing he is risking life and limb(s)?
For my Celtics I hope he does return. I have been thrilled with the job he has done this season. His game is as full of substance as it is devoid of flash. His play is the most likely to go unnoticed, least likely to make ESPN, and frequently the key to "holding the fort" while the starters rest. He almost never looks great but almost always is effective. He is the most flexible player on the team and has played every position but center. He seldom scores a lot but contributes in myriad little ways often lost on the casual observer. On the other hand, on a personal level I kind of hope he hangs up his cleats . . . umm, sneakers. Paralysis is as serious as death, maybe more so. And yet even as I say that, I realize that although I walk with a limp and am in pain most days, the thirty-five years rumbling up and down the hardwood (cement, grass, mud, or bricks in the Mexican zocolo) were the best years of my life. When I struggle to straighten up or get up from or down into a chair, I may wish the pain in my hip would go away but I never wish I had quit playing sooner. Maybe I just think basketball and quality of life were inseparable.
The really nasty thing for Ainge is that it is unlikely that he will know the answer to the return/no-return question before the trading deadline. The roster is full. If Daniels can/will not return then Danny can use his expiring contract to try to find a more-than-vet-min player. Ainge may not know the "return" answer until well after the deadline and that delays even a buy-out that would free up a roster slot.
So what does the decision tree look like?
Case 1: Marquis will be back by the end of March
Do nothing, tread water with Wafer at three, Delonte and Nate at backup guards. Two weeks in April to work Marquis back into rotation.
Case 1b: Marquis will be back by the end of March or will probably be back
Try to trade Nate for Corey Brewer. Brewer brings defense to the three. While Celtics would not likely make $5M+ qualifying offer (as Minny is almost certain not to do), if the fit is good he may be resigned for something less. If Brewer works out, Marquis' flexibility strengthens the 1, 2, and 3.
Case 2: Marquis will not be back
While there are possible trades for Daniels contract (Butler, Moon, Anthony), none excite me and all would require some sweetener—rentals for which I am loath to give up any assets. I would still prefer to trade Nate for Brewer which would not eliminate 2b. Moving Daniels and Nate for Battier works salary-wise but it is hard to see Houston's motivation for doing this—maybe if they are determined to move Brooks and see Nate as his replacement.
Case 2b: Marquis will not be back
Rather than trade Daniels' contract for some meh stopgap, buyout his contract and add NBDL or FA with promise. Rodney Carney would have been a possibility but recently joined Memphis on a 10-day contract. Joe Alexander has something of a revival of his moribund career but seems to be playing the four. Works in NBDL but he might be more useful against the power three's and Wafer could defend more finesse types. Patrick Ewing Jr. and Deshawn Sims might be worth a look. But my personal favorite is Tony Gaffney who would already be familiar with the basic Celtics' schemes and has the height, energy, and length to annoy high-scoring wingmen.
You might notice that none of my approaches involve Bradley or Erden. Obviously I would love to move Nate for something more worthwhile. While the value of Nate vary widely, it only takes one GM that wants to move his frustration for something else (better) or at least a chance for something different. Before the season I rather thought that Wafer would become the expendable one, his defensive efforts and unexpected diversity have changed my mind.
5 Responses so far.
I remember a guy named Stephen Lasme that I really liked once upon a time. He was pretty athletic and big. If he made the same kind of progress defensively from now to the post season that Wafer has from the start of the season till now, I think he would be a fine option for 10 minutes at the 3.
Otherwise, if the Melo deal with the Knicks falls through and he goes to New Jersey this could happen:
Minnesota gives up the protected first rounder they were willing to do in the short-lived deal with the Knicks and Nuggets where they gave up Brewer and a 1st for Randolph. That pick goes to Houston. They do this to free up playing time for their other young wing players and roll the dice on a high potential guy to see how he coexists with Love.
The Knicks give up Randolph for a backup point guard they don't have to pay next year. They were asking about Aaron Brooks last week but Houston wasn't interested at the time. This would give them (Knicks) another 3pt shooter at the PG slot to try and steal an upset in the 1st round of the playoffs.
Boston gives up a 2nd round to Houston as well as Robinson who's deal isn't expiring but is a digestible 4.5 million next year. 3 million cash and Daniels goes to Minnesota as an expiring contract.
Houston gets a less capable but similar style (undersized scorer) back up point guard in Nate Robinson who is on the books next year for 4.5mil but is cheaper than Aaron Brooks would be if they resigned him in the off season. They get yet another young wing. Brewer is a bad shooter, good defender and great stealer. He is a trade asset to them and probably not part of their future. -
Sorry, and Battier comes to Boston.
Houston is giving up Aaron Brooks and Shane Battier, two guys almost definitely not part of their future after this non-playoff-run year, and get a serviceable and reasonably priced back up PG in Nate, a protected first rounder from Minn, a second rounder from us, and a draft day trade asset in Brewer. -
Why would Houston ever do this? Don't they love Battier?
They would for the following reasons:
1. They are not making the playoffs.
2. 13 of their 15 roster slots are young swing men who should have time to play in games.
3. Battier's contract is done at the end of the season and because of reason 2 they will not resign him.
4. They are not making the playoffs.

The University of Bonn was founded almost 200 years ago and is considered to be one of Germany's and indeed Europe's most important institutes of higher education. As home of learning to over 27,000 students, we enjoy an outstanding reputation both at home and abroad.
The mission of the networks is to promote chain and network research and to become an internationally acknowledged center of excellence, by establishing a world-wideinfrastructure for exchanging, developing and disseminating knowledge and by supporting public private project development in the field of food chains and networks.
The University of Bonn is one of the world's leading research based Universities and therefore it is no surprise that we operate on an international level. We particularly specialize in the fields of research and teaching and this has led to our evolving into the position of a truly prominent international institution.
Depending on your residence permit, foreign students are allowed to work. The general permission to work should already be noted in your passport. Nevertheless, there are some regulations in order to carry out a job without the permission of the 'Bundesagentur für Arbeit'.
The university of Bonn offers a varied program to make your start in Bonn easier and to help you to get in touch with German students. They want to give you the opportunity to improve your language skills and have contact with different cultures right from the beginning.
Finding a payable room is one challenge for new students in Bonn, especially for international students without German language skills. The Studierendenwerk Bonn - an independent public institution - offers rooms in student's residences. Due to an increasing number of students the rooms are fully booked quite quickly! In Bonn we have sometimes a housing shortage for cheap accommodations (e.g. at start of the winter semester), therefore it is important to search as soon as possible an accommodation.
Bonn University Library � comprised of the Main Library (Hauptbibliothek) and the Branch Library for Medicine, Science and Agriculture (Abteilungsbibliothek Medizin, Naturwissenschaft und Landbauwissenschaften) - serves as the university�s central lending library.
The city of Bonn offers a database with doctors in Bonn listed on their web pages. Here you can search for a doctor in your neighborhood (choose your neigborhood under "Lage"), as well as for specialists or doctors who speak foreign languages.
Unquestionably, Bonn tends to leave a considerable impression on most people who visit our city. This line of thought is evidenced not least in the number of students and academics - from both Germany and abroad - who learn, teach or research here. Those who visit Bonn are seduced by the charm, elegance and sophistication of the city. And with a population of very welcoming, open minded and kind spirited people, it makes a great impression on the visitor.

It's a very exciting time for fans of America's V8 beast. The problem Chevy faces is the stereotypes of current Corvette owners. It's commonly seen as an old man's toy, something that is driven by the "successful plumber." Chevy desperately needs to change that with the next generation car. How can they do it? Advertisement Advertisement I'd start with the interior.When I'm spending $60,000+ on a sports car, I expect to be wowed while I'm sitting in the car. The C6 Corvette looks great from the outside, but the interior is such a let down. I've driven a C6 and a C6 Grand Sport, and found that the seats are lackluster, instruments look cheap, and materials aren't up to snuff for a car in that price range.If the teaser videos are to be believed, the interior is one area that Chevy has placed an emphasis on improving into a carbon fiber sex dungeon. I think that's a good start. What do you think Chevy can do to make the C7 appeal to younger folks?Reply214 repliesLeave a reply

Merv: History, Science and Learning
Merv, was a major oasis-city in Central Asia, on the historical Silk Road, located near today's Mary in Turkmenistan. Several cities have existed on this strategic site, which was significant for the interchange of trade, culture and politics. In the early Islamic period, Merv was the capital of the province of Khorasan, and in the 12th century it was the largest city in the world. The following article surveys some aspects of learning, science and history of Merv as an Islamic city between the 10th and the 13th century. A special focus is laid on the scholars and scientists of Merv, the greatest of whom was Abd Al-Rahman Al-Khazini. Besides being a gifted astronomer, he is the author of Kitab mizan al-hikma, an encyclopedia of mechanics structured about the theory and the practice of various kinds of balances, especially the universal balance, an extremely precise scientific instrument for measuring the weights of bodies and their specific gravities.

Exterior design.
An impeccable sense of style: the BMW 5 Series Touring, with its dynamic proportions and modern shape, is impressive at first glance. This look is consistently implemented from the front, over the striking silhouette, to the rear.
The new optional LED headlights lend a determined look of dynamics to the front, stand out in its charismatic face and make a powerful statement. A bold double kidney grille slants forward slightly, indicating the power that lies dormant behind it, and allows the BMW 5 Series Touring to take centre stage.
In addition to the classic forms of a BMW Touring with lengthened bonnet, short overhangs and a broad wheel base, the vehicle's silhouette also hints at the amount of flexible room available inside. The BMW 5 Series Touring confidently presents its new rear lights. With their optical depth and L-shaped design, they integrate perfectly into the rear end with its newly-designed bumpers and round off the entire look in an aesthetically pleasurable way.

In it, but not of it. TPM DC
Dem Talking Points Whack GOP For Health Care Obstruction
o Yesterday, Former President Clinton penned a letter supporting passage of health reform legislation.o Also yesterday, respected advocacy groups like US PIRG and Families USA endorsed our bill.
o Earlier this week, AARP expressed support for passage of our bill.
· Like Senate Democrats, these outside voices understand what's at stake and they know the cost of inaction is too great for America's families and businesses.
o Those with insurance see premiums eat up a larger slice of their paychecks, leaving them with less money to take home to their families.
o Those without insurance experience the pain of skipping medicine, treatments and doctor's visits because it simply costs too much to go to the doctor.
o American families pay a "hidden tax" of $1,100 on their health insurance premiums because of the unpaid costs of care for the uninsured.
· The American people have waited too long for affordable accessible health care and Democrats are not going to let them down.
Senate Republicans Threatened to Deny Our Troops Important Funding to Stall Health Reform
· Senate Republicans have made the calculation that it's acceptable to deny our troops critical funding so they can continue their crusade against health reform.
o Republicans are so intent on thwarting even a debate on health reform that they would put essential funding for our troops on the line.
· At a time of war, it's inconceivable that Senate Republicans would stoop to this level.
o Regardless of their position on health reform, their actions to block the DoD bill have been inappropriate and irresponsible.
· Despite Republicans' political maneuvering, Senate Democrats remain undeterred and we will not allow important Senate business to be derailed.
· This legislation:
o Funds more than $100 billion for operations, maintenance and personnel for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and more than $23 billion for their equipment
o Provides more than $150 billion to train our troops and prepare them for battle
o Funds almost $30 billion for the health care of our service members and their families
o Gives our troops a well-deserved pay raise

Ruwasi fancied for Tate at Wolverhampton
JAMES TATE does very well with the runners he sends from Newmarket to Wolverhampton, and Ruwasi has been backed to continue that trend this afternoon.
For 2013 Tate is operating at a 31 per cent strike-rate with runners at the track (18 from 59), and Ruwasi is now a strong favourite for the 4.25.
A general 15-8 earlier in the day, the juvenile colt is now around 11-10, and evens with some firms.
At Plumpton, there has been a run of support for Landenstown Star in the 4.05. The 4-1 for Mark Gillard's runner is long gone, with the eight-year-old now market leader at 5-2.
