The rest of the new ones released today by Targus actually just make me want to go to sleep. Advertisement The Crave is only available in navy blue, however besides the 16-inch backpack form you can get it in a 15.6-inch slipcase and a smaller netbook size. The backpack is $50 which isn't so bad considering it could double as a travel pillow.The other two lines of notebook cases seem pretty standard and by standard I mean boring. There is a typical mix of leather and canvas business looking bags. However, the Phobos netbook case which apparently is a "throw back to acid-washed jeans" seems interesting though I haven't seen a picture.

In the meantime, I'll be remembering how good those college class naps were. [Targus]

It was a foregone conclusion that Republicans and big business would fight tooth and nail against the proposed Employee Free Choice Act, the union bill that would make organizing easier, but in the end it was Democrats who killed it. The Socialist Worker, appropriately enough, has the most comprehensive take on the story to date.
Some readers might be inclined to dismiss analysis by socialist-anything, but they should put aside their suppositions and read this well-thought-out report with open minds. A key piece of legislation for working people appears to be dead, and the hand that holds the smoking gun is the same one that rests on the helm of corporate America.
Socialist Worker:
But with Senate Democrats now holding a 60-seat "filibuster proof" majority, EFCA's killers needed the collusion of "moderate" and conservative Democratic senators—including Dianne Feinstein of California and Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas, the home state of anti-union behemoth Wal-Mart. Both reneged on earlier support for EFCA.
Behind this gang was a wider group of accessories—including other congressional Democrats and the White House, which failed to muster even a modest lobbying effort for EFCA.

Dianne Feinstein is no devil—unless you're a worker. In helping to gut the proposed Employee Free Choice Act, the Democrat once again came down on the Republican side of an issue.

Aylesbury murder inquiry over fatal attack
- 1 February 2013
- From the section Beds, Herts & Bucks
Police have begun a murder inquiry after a man attacked at a property in Buckinghamshire died in hospital.
Mark Austin, 53, was seriously assaulted during an altercation at Harcourt Green in Aylesbury shortly before 01:00 GMT on Thursday.
He was taken to Stoke Mandeville Hospital, where he died on Friday.
Police said a man, 49, arrested shortly after the incident on suspicion of GBH has since been sectioned under the Mental Health Act.
Det Ch Insp Kevin Brown said, "The murder investigation is at a very early stage. However, the victim and the suspect knew each other and this was not a random attack."
Mr Austin lived at Coxhill Way, Aylesbury.

insights, perspectives and inside data from the founder of MMD
Materials used in stent construction
The materials used in coronary stents must be flexible, supportive, capable of expansion, and biocompatible. Typically, foreign materials implanted into the human body results in trauma, inflammation, immune response and eventual healing and/or scarring. Materials that are not biocompatible can induce many complications, including cytotoxic chemical buildup and chronic inflammation.
Most stents are built on a stainless steel platform, the least-expensive stent material available. Unfortunately, stainless steel is not fully compatible with the human body and implantation usually is followed closely by restenosis and thrombosis. In addition, stainless steel can pose difficulties related to some types of imaging, such as magnetic resonance. As such, researchers are working to develop alternative platform materials such as gold, titanium, cobalt-chromium alloy, tantalum alloy, nitinol and several types of polymer.
Materials that are not biocompatible can cause one of any number of complications. The ideal coronary stent surface does not cause a reaction in the human body.
For quite some time, it has been known that gold is biocompatible and usually inert, as well as highly visible. Cobalt-chromium was first developed for use in watch springs. Newer variations have proven to be effective stent materials. Tantalum is a shiny, flexible, and highly radio-opaque metal. While it is more brittle than stainless steel, tantalum has proven to be quite resistant to corrosion.
Nitinol (55% nickel and 45% titanium and named from the "Nickel Titanium Naval Ordinance Laboratory, sometimes called NiTi) is highly biocompatible, decreases the rate of corrosion, is very flexible and has excellent shape memory when heated to a certain temperature. Unfortunately, nitinol can be difficult to manufacture; as little as a 0.01% change in composition can drastically alter the temperature at which the alloy is transformed. In addition, the allow must be created in a vacuum as the titanium component is highly reactive to air-borne oxygen and nitrogen particles.
Certain polymers have found use as stent materials. Silicone (a condensation polymer) induces low rates of tissue trauma, but it also presents challenges in terms of biodurability, tensile and coil strength, and inner-to-outer diameter. Polyethylene and polyurethane have been used as stent materials, however, they have been found to induce sludge in 20%–30% of patients. These materials also encourage protein adherence and biofilm formation. While polyurethane is one of the most reactive of stent materials used, it does have good tensile and coil strength. The number and type of polymers developed for use in medical devices is expanding as different polymer types, chemistries and manufacturing processes are used to produce devices or device coatings with a wide variety of functional characteristics.
Some polymers are biodegradable, bioabsorbable, or bioerodible. Biodegradable or bioabsorbable stents contain a major component (such as an enzyme or microbe) that degrades quickly enough to make them appropriate for short-term uses. A bioerodible polymer is a water-insoluble polymer that has been converted into a water-soluble material. Biodegradable materials
can form an effective stent coating because they can be mixed with an antirestinotic drug and will degrade within a few weeks, thus releasing the drug into the surrounding tissue and reducing the risk of restenosis. Examples of biodegradable polymers are: polyesters, polyorthoesters and polyanhydrides. Collagen is also very biocompatible and reduces the rate of restenosis and thrombosis. In addition, anticoagulants and fibrinolytic agents bound to the collagen can aid in drug delivery.
However, studies have shown that the stent surface after biodegradation can be very uneven and, as such, can induce various cells to adhere to the surface. This in turn produces an increased risk of complications.
Shape-memory polymers can be used to produce a device that will transition from a temporary state to a different (permanent) state through the inducement of a stimulus of heat or cold.
See the MedMarket Diligence report #C245, "Worldwide Drug-Eluting, Bare Metal and Other Coronary Stents, 2008-2017."
There is another article regarding Stent material and biocompatability that I dont know how to post just a link to...it's 5 pages of really good info...
does anyone know where i should put it?

Things are getting a little wacky in the "Big Brother 15" house this week, so we've got all the information for you regarding the schedule for the next couple days, plus the Power of Veto ceremony results.
Today the houseguests were given their suitcases (for the two people on the block) and were told that someone is leaving tomorrow. The feeds will go dark sometime tomorrow so that we don't know anything ahead of Wednesday's show, but there will be an audience present for the eviction, so you can tune in here for spoilers anyway.
The eviction will be between Judd and GinaMarie, after McCrae took himself off the block. Who is going home? It's 6 to 5 and pick 'em at this point. Spencer, Andy and McCrae have been waffling for several days over which person to evict and we expect they'll continue waffling right up until it's time to vote.
The only thing we don't expect is a 1-1 tie, because Spencer adamantly does not want to have to be the tiebreaker and Andy and McCrae don't seem inclined to make him do so.
Anyway, so after someone goes home tomorrow, they will have the Final 4 Head of Household competition, nominations, a Power of Veto and the POV ceremony between tomorrow afternoon (Tuesday) and Thursday's live eviction show.
The live show will recap all that for us and then someone on the block will be evicted, leaving a Final 3 in the house. We expect the first round of the final HOH comp to start on the live show and continue into the night on the live feeds, since it is typically an endurance competition.
Even though the feeds are about to go down for a couple days, it's usually worth it to have for the final week, so sign up now if you haven't already.

Lady Gaga Does Larry King Better Than Larry King
The singer's impression of the legendary interviewer was spot-on.
-Kathryn H. Cusimano
Lady Gaga is so deliciously bizarre that it's impossible to know what she'll do next, and her highly anticipated appearance on Larry King Live did not disappoint.
Gaga appeared via satellite, dressed as Larry King himself. She slicked back her hair to mirror King's trademark hairstyle and dressed in a white oxford shirt with a tie and embellished suspenders, topped with a pair of King-style sunglasses. Even her body language seemed to reflect King's: she sat hunched forward in her chair, and often positioned her shoulders squarely in the camera's frame. As for King? He loved every minute of it.
The wild singer opened up about everything from her rumored battle with lupus (she said she's tested "borderline positive" for the disease) to why she won't wear sweatpants, even when she's alone.
"I am show business," Gaga said. "So much of what I do is hinged on show business, I believe so much in it. So many people ask me, 'What do you dress like when you're alone?'… 'Do you ever just wear sweatpants?' or whatever it is they say, and I'm thinking the concept of show business is lost."
King also prompted the death-obsessed star to discuss her views on life after death:
"I believe I'll go to heaven," Gaga said, "But I suppose I could go either way, couldn't I?"

Methods for Precluding the Existence of a Dust-Explosion Hazard
- Type: Conference Presentation
- Conference Type:
AIChE Spring Meeting and Global Congress on Process Safety
- Presentation Date:
March 14, 2011
- PDHs:
The "generic" standard for preventing fires and explosions involving combustible dusts is the National Fire Protection Association publication NFPA 654. In this document, fifteen of the requirements are prefaced with the phrase "if an explosion hazard exists", and an additional four requirements are prefaced with the phrase "if a fire hazard exists". An objective of this paper is to show how fire and explosion hazards can be avoided in many dust-handling processes, by well-designed, well-constructed, and well-maintained systems that involve reliable control of pertinent variables.
The handling of combustible dusts can be hazardous to personnel and property, if the fine-particle dust is dispersed in air, at a concentration that is above the Minimum Explosible Concentration [MEC], and if an energetic ignition source is present within the cloud. The result could be a flash-fire if the cloud is relatively unconfined, or an explosion if the cloud is confined. In the absence of a cloud or if the concentration is below the MEC or if there is no energetic ignition source, neither a flash-fire nor an explosion would occur.
Strong efforts should be made to minimize ignition sources and accumulations of dust in the workplace, to prevent primary and secondary explosions. Similarly, preventing ignition sources and explosible dust concentrations within equipment can minimize the likelihood of explosion. This paper shows how the formation of an explosible dust cloud can be precluded within equipment, primarily by controlling the accumulation of dust and by ensuring an adequate flow of air.

The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) protects active duty members of the military in civil actions, including foreclosures and collections. Section 533 of the Act applies to persons entering the military after incurring the obligation, affording a stay of proceedings and prohibiting foreclosure during service. Separately, section 521 protects service members from default judgments in their absence. Before a default can be entered, plaintiff must file an affidavit indicating whether the defendant is on active duty. If not, the case proceeds. If so, the court will appoint a guardian ad litem and may enter a stay.
On October 13, 2010, the SCRA was amended to add a private right of action for any violation. That amendment, codified at section 597a, expressly permits an action for equitable and declaratory relief, as well as recovery of monetary damages, including attorney's fees. In December 2013, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals heard Brewster v. Nationstar Mortgage, which involved an alleged section 533 violation – Nationstar attempted to collect foreclosure fees incurred in an action that had been dismissed. Following briefing on that issue, the court requested supplemental briefing on two questions: (1) whether the section 597 cause of action applied retroactively, and (2) whether punitive damages were recoverable.
Brewster relied on 597a to assert a private right of action; Nationstar asserted the amendment did not apply retroactively. While there is support for both positions, courts are reluctant to find retroactive application of a statute without express legislative intent, and California's Central District has already found the private right of action was not retroactive for purposes of section 521's affidavit requirement.
Brewster also argued that punitive damages were available for willful violations and that the term "monetary damages" used in the statute was sufficiently expansive to encompass them. Nationstar argued there was no legislative history to support recovery of punitive damages, and that such damages were not listed among categories of recoverable damages in the statute.
The Ninth Circuit declined to address retroactivity, finding Nationstar's conduct occurred after the amendment was adopted. However, the punitive damages fight is just beginning. The panel held the district court should make that determination on a more developed record. Because it remains unclear whether courts will give "monetary damages" a broad reading, the best bet is to ensure no violations occur – even technical violations of the SCRA – lest the lender, consumer creditor, servicer, or collector end up subject to punitive damages and public scrutiny for the perceived violation.

Focused on botulism
Researchers have discovered the molecular structure that allows the neurotoxin that causes botulism to enter the bloodstream.
In a study by UC Irvine associate professor of physiology and biophysics Rongsheng Jin and Andreas Rummel from the Institute for Toxicology at Hannover Medical School in Germany, scientists were able to create a digital 3D model of a complex protein compound formed by the toxin.
This complex protein structure – shaped much like a lunar landing module – is able to land and dock on carbohydrates on the small intestine's interior wall, the scientists said. This landing module provides an entry way into the blood stream, they said.
The toxin that causes botulism is produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. When it gets into the bloodstream, it can hinder nerve cells from communicating with muscles, leading to paralysis, respiratory failure or possibly death.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention considers the botulism toxin to be a bioterrorism agent along the lines of anthrax, plague, smallpox, tularemia, and viral hemorrhagic fevers.
"Currently, there is no efficient countermeasure for this toxin in case of a large outbreak of botulism," said Jin. "Our discovery provides a vital first step toward a pharmaceutical intervention at an early point that can limit the toxin's fatal attack on the human body."
The botulism neurotoxin is used in Botox, a cosmetic procedure to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
"The toxin knows how to do just one thing," said Jin. "Some people hate it and some people love it. It stops the communication between motor neurons and paralyzes. It's very simple."
About 15 percent of botulism cases are food borne, according to the CDC. Botulism has often been caused from home-canned food with a low acid content, such as asparagus, green beans, beets and corn.
Honey can also contain the bacteria that cause botulism in infants and children less than 12 months old are advised to not eat honey.
Botulism can also be caused by injecting street drugs, such as heroin, and can be found in homes on floors, carpet, and countertops.
On average, the CDC states that there are 145 cases of botulism reported in the United States every year.
Symptoms include blurred or double vision, drooping eyelids, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, dry mouth, and muscle weakness.
Botulism can also cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation and respiratory difficulties.
Jin plans to continue research on the toxin to develop preventive drugs for botulism that people could take prior to being exposed to the toxin. This could be particularly useful for soldiers in war at who are at risk of contracting the toxin, Jin said.
"This is not for a cure," said Jin. "Once someone gets symptoms of botulism, it's too late. We're hoping to prevent (botulism) in a very simplified scenario where you can just eat a pill and know you'll be protected from the toxin for a while."
"The long term goal is still to understand the molecular mechanism by which the toxin does damage including how it lands, how it penetrates, and how it finds the motor neuron to stop signals and paralyze, " said Jin. "We are very actively researching all of these things."

News Release
Police investigate first traffic fatality of 2007
In the first traffic fatality of the year in Bellevue, a 24-year-old Bellevue man died late Monday night after his car spun out of control and hit a tree in the Lakemont neighborhood and flipped over. The cause of the accident was under investigation. The victim's identity was not released pending notification of next of kin.
A neighbor reported the accident after hearing the impact shortly after midnight. Bellevue Police and Fire units responded. Rescue units extracted the driver from the car and tried to revive him. Police closed Village Park Drive from west of Southeast 55th Street to Southeast 66th Street to investigate.
The initial investigation revealed the man's sports car was eastbound on Village Park Drive on the south side of the street. The vehicle crossed over the center line near Lakemont Park, left the road and started to spin left, perpendicular to the roadway. The car hit a tree and rolled onto its right side.

QR codes are becoming increasingly popular as more and more people are buying and using smartphones. If you don't already know, QR codes are barcodes which can be scanned using an app on your smartphone such as Tapreader for iOS. When scanned, your phone will load a webpage which the creator has selected.
If you would like to create a QR code to use on a flyer or other piece of media, you're in the right place! In this tutorial, we will be showing you how to use the Mac app QREncoder to create quick and easy QR codes which can be used with virtually any QR reader. Before we start, make sure you download QREncoder from the Mac App Store.
After you've downloaded QREncoder, launch it on your Mac. You will now be brought to a screen where you can create and customize your own QR code. Below, we will go through how to use all the built-in features in QREncoder.
Giving Your QR Code a Function
Look towards the top of the application, where you will see a drop down menu labeled Content. Once you've maximized this menu, you will notice a plethora of options to choose from. Not only can you make your QR code head to a specific URL, you can make it send an SMS to a certain number, launch a YouTube video, or perform a variety of other functions.
Once you've chosen your function, look towards the text box which is located directly under the function drop down menu. In this box you can input the URL or text to be carried out by the function.
Customizing Your QR Code
Look towards the bottom half of QREncoder, where you will see Background and Barcode. Click on these options to change the background color of your QR code as well as the QR code itself.
Tweaking Other Miscellaneous Settings
The Printing Scale option allows you to customize the print scale of your QR code. This setting should only be changed by advanced users with specialized printers.
The Error Correction Level option lets you choose how much error correction to give your QR code. The higher you set this level, the lesser chance you have of a misread QR code. Unfortunately, your QR code will also get larger as you increase your Error Correction Level.
If you look towards the bottom of the application, you will see an option labeled Micro QR. This option will allow you to make extremely small QR codes which are ideal for uses such as identification and membership cards.

I do not care if I offend anyone. But even if Jesus and his disciples come in here on Saturday, we are going to fuck them up and get them the fuck out of here." [...] There is [sic] also many violations in practice hours per day. We have been presented with practice logs that coach Ambrose submits weekly which we have found to be completely inaccurate. Ambrose holds punishment runs almost daily throughout the week at 6 a.m. but does not post them on any of his practice logs.He also logs inaccurate time lengths of our practices and meetings. This is an issue we have already presented to the compliance office.Although only Walker's name is on the column, he claims that "many players have talked about quitting even in the midst of winning games" due to Ambrose's poor management and offensive statements. Walker is a senior this season, and listed in the 2012 media guide as a linebacker, but on the website, his name is no longer on the roster. A Google search can find his bio, but his name's been removed.AdvertisementIf you're from Towson (as a player or student) and know anything else about Walker, Ambrose or the program, let us know.Football coaches cross lines, mistreat players [The Towerlight]Reply13 repliesLeave a reply

Chapman, whose dad used to have a mustache, says some older men really appreciate the calendar — though Phipps admitted that his mom "refuses to take me seriously with a mustache."
But the girls on campus, they love it. Phipps overheard an exchange the other day, two friends saying they wanted to buy a calendar, and their male (un-mustached) friend dismissing it as silly. Chapman doesn't bother with the naysayers.
"There are some people who don't get it," he says. "I feel bad for them."

In this thread we detail a bit about the what, where, and how to attend a Reds game - Hotels, activities, where to eat, etc.
If you are visiting this site and are a fan located in/around another MLB city, please feel free to read over the write-up for your city and put your $.02 in!
I was wondering if we couldn't do the same for the rest of the parks in the league. Have 4-5 people adopt a park, find out what they can and put it together.
Game Parking:
Tickets/Seats: How to acquire, what to get.
What to see/do/eat at the ballpark.
What to see/do/eat in the city.
Once we have one done we could then post it on another Team's message board and get confirmation.

Governor Cuomo Announces Tickets Now on Sale for Taste NY Harvest Fest at the State Fairgrounds
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced that tickets are now on sale for the Taste NY Harvest Fest at the New York State Fairgrounds in Syracuse, which will provide visitors with an opportunity to sample and purchase some of the best foods and beverages in the entire state. The event takes place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, November 2 and from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, November 3 in the Horticulture Building.
Since it began earlier this year, Taste NY has been a catalyst to help us spread the word that products grown and made in New York are among the best in the world, Governor Cuomo said. Events like the Taste NY Harvest Fest not only create fans for homegrown food and beverages, but boost our economy by supporting our farmers, brewers, and manufacturers. I encourage New Yorkers to come to the Fairgrounds on November 2 and 3 and taste the best that the Empire State has to offer.
The event gives people an opportunity to meet with vendors and sample their products, gather information, and purchase their favorite items. Dozens of companies from around the state will be on hand, from well-known brands such as Syracuses Dinosaur Bar-B-Que and Gianelli Sausage, McCadam Cheese of Chateaugay, and Uticas F. X. Matt Brewing Company, to companies aiming to gain better household recognition, such as Rome Grown Garlic of Rome, Ma Pooles Chutney of Skaneateles, Rogers Rustic Rubs & Sauces of Hudson Falls, and Hungry Bear Farms of Middlesex.
Many makers of wine, beer, and spirits will also be on hand. Among the companies confirmed so far, besides F. X. Matt, are Merritt Estate Winery of Forestville, Casa Larga Vineyards of Fairport, Adirondack Distilling Company of Utica, Americana Vineyards and Winery of Interlaken, Three Brothers Winery of Geneva, and Thousand Islands Winery of Alexandria Bay.
Ticket sales for the event begin Friday, October 18. Prices are $15 for tickets purchased in advance or $20 at the door. Advance sale tickets can be purchased in person, over the phone, or by fax. To purchase in person or by phone, visit or call the State Fair administration building during business hours on weekdays, where the receptionist will complete the purchase. The receptionist can be reached at (315) 487-7711, extension 1001. Tickets purchased over the phone or by fax can be picked up at the reception desk during business hours, or can be picked up at the event, at the Will Call window. The form to fax is available on the New York State Fair website, www.nysfair.org. All admissions include a free Taste NY beer or wine glass with which to drink samples.
Karen Willand, outside sales manager for Casa Larga Vineyards of Fairport, said, This festival will be a great time to celebrate the new harvest season, to sample New York foods and beverages, and to be introduced to products theyve never seen or heard of before.
Its important to support New York food producers and companies, said Jean Lewis, owner of Mean Dawgs Mustard of Leonardsville, Madison County. People who come to Harvest Fest will see and taste high quality products, including our mustard. Well show you that our mustard isnt just for pretzels and sandwiches, and I know that people will get new ideas at our booth and at many others.
There are so many good things about products made in New York, said Judy Provo, owner of Pas Pistols Sweet Hickory Sauce of South Glens Falls. The Taste NY Harvest Fest will open everyones eyes to the great things made in New York and the benefits of buying locally. This will show people that theres more to New York than they see.
Taste NY was launched by Governor Cuomo to highlight New York's food and beverage industry, ultimately making the States wide variety of products readily available and recognizable to New York residents, tourists, and the world.
Taste NY is also a major component of the Governors $60 million tourism campaign the largest such campaign in decades. The program publicizes New York-made food and beverage products via promotions such as Taste NY tents and pavilions at food and wine events and Taste NY stores and kiosks located at Thruway rest stops and soon at airports and other transportation hubs such as Grand Central Station. In 2013, Taste NY has already had a large presence at the PGA Tournament in Rochester and the Great New York State Fair in Syracuse.
The home of the Great New York State Fair is a 375-acre exhibit and entertainment complex that operates all year. A year-round schedule of events is available on the Fairs website. Find The Great New York State Fair on Facebook, follow @NYSFair on Twitter, and enjoy photos from the Fair at Flickr.com/GreatNYSFair. Also, New Yorkers are invited to send their ideas for the Great New York State Fair at email@example.com.

Usually I only post the models I make on here if they are Newgrounds related, but I just really haven't had the desire to make anymore. (Heck I still have some made a year ago that I didn't post here yet.) However, I want to show you just a quick sample of something that I AM working on at the moment.
They are both 2 1/2 inches tall and made with Model Magic, probably the worst possible thing you can ever use as professional modeling clay, but I have a bunch of the crap so I have to use it all up somehow. I plan on doing the rest of the Street Fighter II characters in this style, including the bosses and Akuma. I do not plan to upload them on Newgrounds, this is just a preview of the first two characters
(Although I might upload them as a group shot if enough people asks me to.) If like like it, fav it on devianART.
http://pika-robo.devianta rt.com/art/Chibi-Ryu-and-
You can also find the TF2 characters in the style as well.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
I love this, just like your other models. And for more Newgrounds-related characters to do if you want, I'd really love to see Dudley from Toons These Days and Vile from the Reincarnation games clay-ified. Maybe even Abobo for the lulz?
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Dude, that is super-Awesome, I liked Ryu but you also made a Ken Masters one! That is very awesome! Great work!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Oh my gosh! These little guys are too cute! ^-^ I wish I could hug them
I think you are very talented with this because they look fantastic :3 You should make lots and lots more of them, too
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Oh man they're even more adorable after the remodel! So who's up next? Assuming your gonna start from the cast of World Warriors. I think Chun-li considering she's one of the top posterpeople for Street Fighter Can't wait for more!
Chun-Li might be next. But i plan on posting them in pairs. So maybe with Guile?


text: OK, For The Last Time: Plaxico Burress Was Not Wearing Sweatpants The Night He Shot HimselfTommy Craggs6/07/11 2:15pmFiled to: MythsPlaxico BurressNflWhimsysweatpantsFashionNew York GiantsPlaxico burress sweatpants35EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink The night he busted a cap in his thigh, Plaxico Burress was wearing jeans. This is a fact confirmed both by the New York County District Attorney's Office and Burress himself. He was not wearing sweatpants. There is as much proof that he wore sweatpants that night as there is that he wore a crinoline hoopskirt. You are perpetuating a myth, people. Let's go through this again: On Dec. 1, 2008, a New York Post story, authored by Murray Weiss, Larry Celona and Eric Lenkowitz, noted the following: Advertisement Advertisement The players had arrived at the Latin Quarter at around midnight Saturday, and all walked through metal detectors — at which point, Burress informed security he had a gun.He was then pulled aside and frisked, revealing a handgun tucked in the waistband of his sweatpants, sources said.That's how it started. (Celona would later tell us that the sweatpants detail had come from a detective.) Lots of people had a laugh over the sweatpants. Plaxico Burress didn't just shoot himself, according to the popular imagination. He shot himself while wearing relaxed cottonwear. The incongruities were irresistibly funny: on the one hand, the nightclub and the Glock; on the other, the sweatpants. A wealthy man went to a fancy Manhattan nightclub and busted a cap in his thigh while dressed like someone named Tootie. But was it true? In August 2009, in an interview with the furrows in Jeremy Schaap's brow, Burress said he was in fact wearing jeans. The district attorney agreed: Sponsored BURRESS was carrying the pistol in the waistband of his jeans, with bullets in the magazine, a round in the chamber and no holster.So there it is, straight from the prosecutor: jeans. Cleared on all charges of being gauche in the first degree. Sartorially innocent. Stop the sweatpants libel, America.

I've just finished listening to "The Strain: The First Book of the Strain Trilogy" by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan, read by Ron Perlman (of Hellboy fame). In the video above, Del Toro talks about his book and how, unlike the sexy vampires that dominate pop culture (a la Twilight, True Blood and the new CW show Vampire Chronicles), his vampires are more akin to rats — always hungry creatures who exist mostly underground and are for the most part powerless against their desire for blood, which in turn creates more creatures just like them.
Part CSI procedural, part horror show, the strength of the novel are its meticulous minute-by-minute plotting and the development of book's main characters: Eph Goodweather, the head of a CDC rapid-response team in New York City, and Abraham Setrakian, a Holocaust survivor who has dedicated his life to ridding the world of vampires.
At times the pace of the book seems slow, especially in the painstaking details of an investigation into an airplane that safely landed at JFK but then came to a dead stop in the middle of the runway. Sometimes it seems as if there are too many scenes of people in bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchens who are linked to the flight and are visited by the horrors of vampires.
The overall effect of these scenes, however, is to enhance a sense of realism in what is essentially another vampire tale. That realism propels the novel into something refreshing considering so many of today's vampires are sexy and cool because of their immortality (or outcast status): A true horror show of good vs. evil, of life vs. death.
The thing about "The Strain's" vampires is that they are so mindless. They don't seduce their victims. They just attack them. They don't even seem to have any awareness of their immortality. They are but drones, the dead come back to life to feed off the life of the living. In particular, the people infected by a vampire usually return to their homes to infect their loved ones.
It made me think that vampires are a metaphor for the human discomfort with the topic of death. Some people say they never want to die, but a vampire shows the cost of immortality. In some ways, a vampire is like the memory of a loved one who has died that comes with a wounding grief that can never be healed. The dead, though, gone can take away from our lives if we let them.
In a pure coincidence, at the same time I was listening to "The Strain" (usually in the car), I was also reading Tracy Kidder's new non-fiction book "Strength in What Remains." His incredible book is the true story of a young medical student — named Deogratias — from Burundi who flees the ethnic killings during Burundi's civil war in 1994 for the neighboring country of Rwanda, in which the Hutu and Tutsi killings continued. Eventually, he flees and lands in New York. And even though he doesn't speak English, within a year he's enrolled at Columbia.
The book opens though with Deogratias with Kidder returning to Burundi in 2006 and saying that they don't talk about the dead because it is rude to bring up painful things. There is even a term for it, "gusimbura." And Deogratias says it is a bad thing to "gusimbura" someone.
It is an interesting idea, to not bring up painful things, especially since American culture emphasizes confronting feelings and trying to find closure. But maybe the Burundians have something there, a kind of distancing respect that would also keep away vampires.
For now, I'm waiting for the second installment of the "The Strain," and wonder if it is an antidote to today's pop-culture vampires.
Vampires everywhere
One Response
I'm a great fan of Guillermo Del Toro and really intrigued by "The Strain." I would, however, suggest that rather than call it "an antidote to today's pop-culture vampires," that we look at these different approaches to the genre as alternatives.
The issues Del Toro and Hogan grapple with, quite eloquently discussed here, are not the same issues that, for example, teens deal with when thinking about "Twilight." The archetype of "vampire" is broad enough to encompass these and many other themes, depending upon how the storyteller defines his/her undead characters.
There's room in the world for all kinds of vampires, and to each his own. The important thing about the archetype is how it functions so well to help us come to terms with issues we can't always talk about by the light of day.
–Diana Laurence, author of "How to Catch and Keep a Vampire" (www.howtocatchandkeepavampire.com)

I thought about a wordless post, and a sonnet. And a crossword.
But here's my contribution - and a competition. Yes, it's a wordsearch.
A number of fibres/materials commonly used for knitting (more than 10, fewer than 20) are concealed in this grid. All are included in Ravelry's yarn list. The fibre starting with Q which is very difficult to spell isn't here.
Tell me how many you've found in the comments, and let me know where to find you (Ravelry name, blog, whatever... )
If I have any entries at all, I'll close entries at midnight BST between 1st and 2nd May. In the unlikely event of two people finding the same number, I'll need a list...
The winner will receive a skein of good-quality sock yarn in a mutually happy colour and my enduring thanks....
I'll post the results when the winners are announced...

Bukharah is the right Spice to win top award
June 17, 2010 by localnews · Leave a Comment
The spice of Glasgow's curry houses took to the red carpet on Tuesday 15 June for the Scottish Curry Awards at the Thistle Hotel, and a new kid on the block stole the show.
The newly opened Bukharah restaurant, part of the refurbished Lorne Hotel, was the star, bagging both the Restaurant and Chef of the Year Awards. For Archie Sharif, owner of the new Lorne Hotel, this recognition is sweet justification for the changes he made to Glasgow's famous hotel, which reopened only in 2009.
After the awards, Archie beamed:'This is a fantastic achievement for the Bukharah, to win both awards, I am absolutely delighted and want to thank all our customers for voting for us. The Bukharah offers something different to the curry connoisseur, it's healthy Indian cuisine, exactly what it says on the door, home cooking at it's best.'
While the Bukharah is a new player on Glasgow's vibrant curry scene, experienced hands are involved in cooking the curry. Head Chef Mahrukh Butt, originally from Pakistan, came from the 5 star Dubai Sheraton to be head chef at the Bukharah. In collecting the Chef of the Year award Mahruk continues a remarkable personal journey. In leading Bukharah's kitchen she became Scotland's first Asian female head-chef. Mahruk lavished praise on the Lorne hotel after receiving her award. She said:'I am delighted to have been awarded Chef of the Year. Working at the Bukharah has allowed me to be creative in my cooking, I enjoy being able to come up with new healthy food dishes using fresh Scottish produce. The restaurant is part of a boutique hotel and not a global chain, it's unique and to me that's something special.' Congratulations to Bukharah and all the other flavours of the night!

Disney Infinity
Toy Story in Space Play Set
By Jorge Figueiredo - October 30th, 2013
Disney Infinity has not lost any momentum since their recent release. Last week, they released their sixth Play Set: Toy Story in Space. Disney was nice enough to send us the Play Set to try out. The Play Set includes the actual statue for the Toy Story world along with Jessie Pride and Buzz Lightyear. Not wanting to split up the Toy Story clan, they also sent us Sheriff Woody Pride to tag along! Smallest Thumb and I sat down and played this and want to report that this Play Set really does take you to infinity and beyond!
Each of the Play Sets for Disney Infinity include at least 3 to 4 hours of mission-based game-play, side quests, and some open-world adventuring – all wrapped in the guise of an overall plot. For instance, the Incredibles Play Set focuses on foiling Syndrome's plot to take over Metroville – missions are usually about fighting his efforts, catching bad guys and helping people in the city. The Monsters University Play Set is all about helping Mike, Sully and Randy beat the pants off rival University Fear Tech by performing a series of pranks and competing in various events. The idea behind the Toy Story in Space Play Set is to defend a new colony of those cute aliens from Pizza Planet and help them build a small outpost.
Nothing like backup from a Space Ranger!
You begin your adventure on the surface of some unknown alien world. The aliens are running about, panicking because their planet is being bombarded. There is no messing around here – you need to do something fast! Luckily, the a few members of the (well-voiced) Toy Story cast will help you out. You will be spending a lot of time doing missions assigned by Hamm (the pig), Rex (the Dinosaur) and a number of the little green creatures. Even Slinky appears a bit later on to also give you some quests. The Toy Story in Space Play Set has a number of areas and is pretty huge, so it will take some time to explore it all. There are also a fair number of hidden areas, as well as places that are inaccessible until you unlock some items later on in the campaign.
As with the other Play Sets, the Toy Story in Space Play Set contains items that can be used in Toy Box mode. There are a few cool weapons (like the Space Ranger gun, and some other pistols that fire goo – one that increases the size of your target, while the other does the opposite) and some new textures. However, my favourite two items are both jet packs: one that propels you horizontally (that has wings to steer), and one that functions as a jump jet (with limited thrust, resulting in very large jumps). With some careful timing, these items can be used together for some pretty spectacular moves!
Guess who else is in this Play Set?
I have to admit that most of the quests are fairly easy to accomplish. Smallest Thumb and I were completing missions left, right and centre without too much difficulty (which is good for kids). There were a few missions that required some planning and quick-thinking – but nothing that we couldn't handle. Some of the challenges, though, were just that: challenging. You'd think that having a jet pack to collect items would make the task easier – until you realize that the developers must have been feeling mischievous during the planning phase. There are a few neat challenges that, once complete, will earn you some sparks to help you raise your character's level.
So is it worth the buy? I would say so! The Play Set sells for around $35, and Woody is available for an additional $13. The adventures are fun for kids of all ages (Smallest Thumb is 6), and really, they live on past the main game campaign thanks to Toy Box mode. If you are a fan of Toy Story, this is a no-brainer – especially if you only have the starter Play Set. Don't forget, you need a Disney Infinity base to play this game.
