By this time, Kat had become the most sought after actress in Bollywood and every filmmaker wanted to have a part of her in their film, even if that meant in the form of an item number. So, when Karan Johar's ambitious project 'Agneepath' was being remade, Katrina Kaif was asked to do a special number in the film. And when 'Chikni Chameli' got out, everyone went gaga over the reigning queen of Bollywood - Katrina Kaif!By Bikas Bhagat
- Spice Team
Mere Brother Ki Dulhan
With her portrayal of vivacious punk-rock girl Dimple Dixit, 'Mere Brother Ki Dulhan' despite having big actors like Imran Khan and Ali Zafar ultimately belonged to Katrina Kaif. The actress was in her element all throughout the film. 'Dhunki' song in which she featured was a massive chartbuster.- Spice Team
Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara
Another smart and sensible outing by Katrina Kaif was 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara'. Even in a small role, Kat left an impressive mark. Brilliantly directed by Zoya Akhtar, Katrina's portrayal of fun-loving diving instructor Laila, was a revelation. Romancing hot hunk Hrithik Roshan, Katrina appeared confident and looked a lot controlled in all the scenes.- Spice Team
Tees Maar Khan
Cast yet again with her favourite co-star Akshay Kumar, Katrina won rave reviews for this Farah Khan directed 'Tees Maar Khan'. The credit for the biggest highpoint in TMK went undisputedly to Katrina Kaif. 'Sheila Ki Jawani' achieved a status of an anthem in India. Her dance to the song was being replicated at all dance shows and organizers were ready to shell millions as Kat was flooded with offers to perform at live events.- Spice Team
Given her thus far wonderful track record, thinking director Prakash Jha roped Katrina to play a crucial role in his political drama based on the 'Mahabharata' called 'Raajneeti'. Essaying a totally different role from her earlier films, Kat worked hard to get in to the character etched out for her by Jha. And consequently, she lived up to the expectation of the director who was concerned if his heroine would be able to speak chaste Hindi despite her being a foreigner in real. But, much to everyone's delight and surprise, Kat pulled the role with élan.- Spice Team
Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani
The film marked her bonding with the emerging star of Bollywood, Ranbir Kapoor. Directed by master craftsman Raj Kumar Santoshi, 'Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani' was a tribute to the genre of quintessential Bollywood humour with Kat and RK in lead. A roller-coster caper, the film saw Katrina play the character of a Christian girl with brilliance.- Spice Team
New York
'New York' underlined a stark difference in the kind of roles Katrina had been doing till then. In Kabir Khan's 'New York' Kat revealed a whole new side to her with some exemplary acting and of course, that drop dead gorgeous looks proved soothing to the eyes. With this film she shut all her critics up, who claimed until then that she was merely there as an ornamental factor in films. Her acting in 'New York' was lauded and she was being considered for character driver roles in her future flicks.- Spice Team
Singh Is Kinng
Her striking beauty left the audience spell bound and in her following hit 'Singh is Kinng' Katrina Kaif made her fans go absolutely crazy with numbers 'Jee Karda' and 'Teri Ore'. The film which again saw her paired with Akshay Kumar was declared a blockbuster, making it Kaif`s sixth consecutive success at the Box Office. The movie also emerged as the third highest grossing film that year (2008).- Spice Team
Following 'Welcome' which was declared a blockbuster, Abbas Mustan approached Katrina to play a negative role in 'Race'. Again Kat lived up to the expectation with her special number 'Zara Zara Touch Me…' gaining wide scale popularity. Even as the entire nation was grooving to the beats of 'Touch Me', Katrina Kaif had had become the muse of every single bachelor in India.- Spice Team
Mad cap 'Welcome' again saw Katrina romance Akshay on-screen. The film was a mega success even though critics had slammed it. The film went on to establish Katrina Kaif in the league of top Bollywood actresses. Filmmaker started to take notice of this British born actress and offers started to pour in from renowned banners in town.- Spice Team
Namastey London
She had already mesmerized people with her beauty, but her acting came to the fore only after the release of 'Namaste London'. Some say that the successful phase in Kaif`s career started in the year 2007 with this Vipul Shah film, which went on to become a commercial and critical success. Katrina was cast opposite Akshay Kumar and their pairing was a big hit which even till date is viewed as industry's most 'killer' jodi.- Spice Team
Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya
More than the fate of the film at the Box Office, 'Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya' is remembered for the on-screen chemistry shared by Katrina Kaif and Salman Khan. The reel couple went to materialize their relationship in real and gossip magazines were replete with Salman-Kat's budding romance. Time and again Katrina has dished all rumours of her linkages with Salman, but insiders believe that she does hold a soft corner for the actor.- Spice Team
Gorgeous Katrina Kaif made her presence felt in her very first movie 'Boom'. Cast opposite Bollywood veterans like Amitabh Bachchan and Gulshan Grover, Katrina, managed to wow a considerable chunk of audience, even though she had a small role in the film. Over the years, Kat has earned millions of fans and she was recently adjudged world's sexiest woman by a reputed fashion magazine, FHM.- Spice Team

Penguins notebook: Joe Vitale, Brandon Sutter practice for Penguins
May 1, 2014 12:00 AMSomewhat surprisingly, forwards Brandon Sutter and Joe Vitale practiced with the Penguins Wednesday at Consol Energy Center, less than 48 hours after they got hurt in the clinching Game 6 win against Columbus.
Sutter was limping badly Monday night as he left the game, a 4-3 win. Vitale was slumped on the ice for a few minutes after he had a knee-on-knee collision with Blue Jackets winger Blake Comeau.
"Hopefully, seeing them on the ice is an indication that they're good" for Round 2, Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said.
Sutter left the game after a run-in with Columbus winger Nick Foligno along the boards, but he said the injury actually occurred earlier in the game.
"Not going to talk about it too much," Sutter said, alluding to the secrecy that shrouds injury details in the playoffs. "All I can say is it felt pretty good [at practice]. I'm happy with the way it's gone the past two days. Shouldn't be a problem going forward."
Sutter had a strong first-round series against Columbus, with three goals, two assists and strong defensive work. He credited his experience a year ago, his first time in the NHL playoffs.
"That first go-round with it is a different level," he said. "Last year was a fun experience. … That experience definitely helps. You get a chance to come here your second time at it, you know what to expect a bit more and are a little better prepared for it."
Vitale initially seemed to have what could be a long-term knee injury.
"The way Joe was injured and left the ice, you worried," Bylsma said.
As it turned out, the Penguins' flight home Monday night was delayed several hours, and, by the time the team boarded, Vitale was feeling better.
"It was a little bit of a scare when it happened," Vitale said. "I'm taking it one day at a time. All I can say is I woke up [Wednesday], and it felt great. It felt good enough to skate, and it felt good out there."
The only player missing from practice Wednesday was defenseman Brooks Orpik, who sat out the final two games of Round 1 because of an unspecified injury.
Fatigue factor
The Penguins didn't learn their second-round opponent until Wednesday night, but they knew that regardless of whether it was Philadelphia or the New York Rangers, they would be facing a team that could be more tired than them.
The Flyers and Rangers' Game 7 Wednesday was their second game in as many nights and their fourth in six days. The Penguins played three games in that same stretch and have been off since Monday night.
At the other end of the spectrum is Montreal, which opens its series against Boston tonight after being off the past eight days after a sweep of Tampa Bay.
"I think we're in a good situation," winger James Neal said. "We had a good day off [Tuesday] to recharge, refresh and come back for a good practice. It's good to get out there, enjoy yourself, have some good pace to practice. The guys are feeling good."
It didn't bother them that they practiced without knowing their next opponent.
"I think for us, it's more important to focus on yourself," defenseman Rob Scuderi said. "If you're taking the game to them, what they do is minimized."
Improvement pleases Bylsma
In retrospect, Bylsma said, the Penguins didn't hit their playoff stride until later in the Columbus series. He attributes that to the fact that the Penguins were fairly well locked into a division title and the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference and didn't have to scratch and claw in the stretch run for a playoff spot or positioning.
"We were in our spot, on top in the Metro Division, for a long time," Bylsma said. "I don't think we had [to push] like a Columbus team and like some other teams that were [playing] maybe 15 or 20 games of playoff [-style] hockey and driving and pushing for every point in the regular season.
"We won hockey games, but we hadn't gotten to that [desperate] type of play from our group. We heard the word, 'passion,' and I don't think there's any guy in that [locker] room that wasn't ready and willing to win a Stanley Cup right from the start of the playoffs, but how you have to play and the price you have to pay on the ice, that's another level. … I thought Game 5 and 6 were our best in that regard by all year long."

Pappus harmonic theorem[edit]
At projective harmonic conjugates you have inserted the alternative "Pappus harmonic theorem" without reference. We would welcome this contribution with reference, since it would help clarify the history of some ideas in mathematics such as inversive geometry. The Pappus chain shows there may be reason for your assertion of the Pappus harmonic theorem as that topic also relates to inversive geometry, but without a reference this assertion is just that. Please supply a reference retract the assertion.Rgdboer (talk) 20:43, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

John Kennedy Toole[edit]
Hi Dickdock. I just wanted to inquire about your recent revert of my minor edit to the John Kennedy Toole page, which was a bit puzzling. Yes, the Pulitzer is referenced later in the article. But as the primary proof (and proof in itself) of his notability, I thought it should be referenced in the first stanza. I'm surprised that you apparently disagree, and I think that precedents in other pages support my point. When I did some spot checks at [Category:Pulitzer_Prize_winners], I saw that the first three entries (all the "As" in the alphabetical list) mention the Pulitzer prize in the first or second sentence. Also, at least one of them specifically calls the subject "Pulitzer-prize winning", so I'm not sure how the construction is "Unusual". Any insight as to your thinking here? Celtechm (talk) 17:23, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
- Hi Celtechm, yes you're right, they do mostly highlight the Pulitzer early on. I put back your edit in the second phrase, cos I do like the nice clean X was a [nationality] [whatever] format. Feel free to revert me! Cheers Dickdock (talk) 17:54, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for putting that in. I like your treatment better anyway, as it relates the award to the awarded-work. Celtechm (talk) 21:16, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
- Not sure how to respond to your notes to me, so I'm responding here. If this isn't the appropriate place to do so, mea culpa. Re: Toole edits and Amis: I've read TWAC, if that matters, and can't be bothered to argue the "resemblant" issue any further. The word sticks out like a sore thumb, but you seem to have a special fondness for it, and more to the point a passion for this point of argument, so there it is, as Amis would say. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Markdery (talk • contribs) 14:56, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

Stop PoV pushing just because YOU don't like the term and find it controversial. The term British Isles is *not* used for any purpose other than GEOGRAPHICAL purposes by almost everyone in the UK and elsewhere. This rather sad and deluded agenda the Irish and their plastic paddy Irish-American cousins like to push is nothing but Anglophobia to make the Brits seem like neo-imperialists. Got news for you buddy, we owe the Irish nothing and I have no guilt. Ta.--184.108.40.206 (talk) 02:06, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
British Isles...[edit]
... is the article title, and as long as it remains so there is no good reason to circumvent it other articles. If you have a problem with the term, it is at the British Isles page that you should be trying to change it, not at the unrelated Trinity College, Dublin article. You have also broken WP:3RR. You should re-revert, or I'll request administrator intervention. Thanks. — Jon C.ॐ 08:28, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
- I'll ignore your first two statements as they appear to be things you've just made up. There are several good reasons not to use the term, the primary one being it's controversial, as mentioned on the page. It is also unnecessary, intrusive, divisive, outmoded and increasingly ambiguous. As for WP:3RR, I have no experience in edit-warring and zero expertise, but I'd guess we've both probably broken it or something similar. It was you who initiated the change on 7 March 2013. I am trying to restore the original, inserted on 17 January 2012. I'm not going to re-revert. Dickdock (talk) 10:14, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
April 2013[edit]
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Trinity College, Dublin. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please try to reach a consensus on the talk page.
If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. Michael Greiner 01:57, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
For sorting out my lefts from rights on the Ghent altarpiece. When I give people directions it drives them nuts - I'm seriously dyslexic in that regards. Also thanks for sorting out the virgins & Dorothy is in the sources so a good addition there. I think MM is considered a martyr, but still reading about that section and it can be sorted later. Truthkeeper (talk) 18:52, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks very much Truthkeeper, glad to do a minuscule bit to help your (and ceoil's) amazing work on the article, the altarpiece certainly deserves to have an FA article and given your track record it will no doubt get there. The MM bit I sourced online at [1], but your sources are a lot more authorative and comprehensive so didn't want to dilute them with too many random ones. Anyway it was mildly amusing that she ended up for a while among the virgins, as here in Ireland at least she's kind of considered the patron saint of "fallen women" (hence the infamous Magdalene Laundries), but of course things could have been very different in 15th century Flanders (or 15th century Ireland for that matter). Now how do I get out of this paragraph...should I turn left, or right, or..... Dickdock (talk) 00:00, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
- Ha, just noticed The Magdalen Reading so of course you knew all that! Dickdock (talk) 00:59, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
- I didn't know about Magdalene Laundries - that's an interesting article. Thanks for the kind words - Ceoil has done most of the work there and I think it will be a slow build. It is coming along though. Truthkeeper (talk) 12:35, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

Bowie Re Hendrix[edit]
Bowie being introduced to Hendrix (as an unknown) is "random unintegrated datum"? I don't agree, but rather than tit for tat editorial changes, I'm open to hearing your detailed views on this. Thank you Matthew.hartington (talk) 20:35, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
- I agree that Bowie meeting Hendrix in 1967 could be interesting, but as given it was just plonked down as a bare fact with a primary ref in the middle of a passage on 1967 with no relation to what was around it and no development eg. how was Bowie affected? If it can be developed and woven into the the flow (preferably with secondary refs) then I think it would be a good addition. Dickdock (talk) 21:18, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
- Actually, that's a very generous reply, and I do agree with the rather stark insertion, my one reservation at the time of addition. The source is from the current V & A exhibition, "David Bowie is", also confirmed in the recent Bowie publication "Any Day Now: The London Years". The text of the article (prior to my intrusion) flows really well - if you can develop the new fact into the existing narrative, then please do. I feel that you are living this article in much greater depth than I am at present. Thank you for your help and very kind reply. Matthew.hartington (talk) 21:43, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks very much, not sure I deserve it. It's in Cann's Any Day Now? That's interesting, I don't have that, and looking at various rave reviews of it it looks as if I should. Does it expand on the meeting at all? Anyway as soon as I get my mitts on one I'll ... ponder the situation! Cheers! Dickdock (talk) 00:00, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, it's mentioned in the book, and apparently, Bowie had a negative reaction towards Hendrix, writing a scathing review of his performance which was printed in the Record Mirror [The book contains many fly-on-the-wall day-to-day situations which can make it a ponderous (though thorough) read if you're not an obsessive Bowie fan]. There's also a report in a recent News of the World article which says that Bowie carried Hendrix's guitar into the afternoon rehearsal at the Saville Theatre(simply to gain admission). I'll see what else I can dig up on this and report back in case it can help your conclusions. Many thanks for taking this on board! Matthew.hartington (talk) 04:30, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
- I've looked further into this, and came up with a piece rather more fleshed-out. What do you think of this for inclusion? Obviously, if you can improve on it, or think of a good way to integrate it into the existing piece, I'd be most grateful:-
"On May 7 1967 at a Saville Theatre concert, Bowie was introduced to Jimi Hendrix backstage by his musician friend, Billy Ritchie. The meeting does not seem to have changed his mind about Hendrix's performance, as he then wrote a negative review, calling Hendrix "the tentacle-headed flower show from Greenwich village", describing his playing as "the emotion-filled E chord of Mr H". The piece caused a stir, and was printed in Record Mirror, complete with photograph of the then-unknown future Superstar. Even at this early stage, it seemed that Bowie had a gift for obtaining publicity". Matthew.hartington (talk) 07:32, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
- Hi, I shouldn't really comment since I haven't got Cann's book yet but I'd definitely leave out the phrase "then-unknown future Superstar", and probably some of the other detail as well. I've tried previewing a few variations but they all look out of place in context. In fact the strokes are so broad in the article and so much stuff is left out on this period of Bowie's career (and other periods) that it's really hard to see how to integrate it without beefing up the section considerably, which would be a good thing to do but would require a fair amount of work. Dickdock (talk) 13:43, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you for replying so promptly, very nice of you. Cann's take on it is pretty much covered by what I wrote here. The reason I mentioned the then-unknown part was the huge irony of the meeting, considering what lay ahead in the future, Hendrix being blissfully unaware that he was meeting a future Superstar. It does sound like you feel it's not ready for inclusion as yet, so I guess we'll both have to think further on it. If you can give me any clues as to how you see the "beefing up", I'd be grateful, though we're probably of like mind on the question of not cluttering the article with too much relative trivia.

Johan Cruyff[edit]
The quote is about the standing of Cruyff and his foundation from a head of state. Its not about anything about Peres himself regardless of how controversial he is deemed by some. I concurred with your edit in removing him from the lede (i had done so previously) as it belongs in the outside football subsection.Carlos Rojas77 (talk) 12:54, 12 Septembet 12014 (UTC)
- The quote belongs nowhere, it's just photo op waffle. What expertise does Peres have about the standing (or anything) of Cruyff? (And the quote is by Peres so of course it drags him and his controversy into it.) Dickdock (talk) 12:47, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
- The quote is solely about Cruyff and his work outside football from a head of state. To see anything beyond that is subjective. I actually didn't put it in though I did remove it from the lede which was reinstated by another user. Comments from notable figures/leaders appear throughout Wikipedia, should they be silenced if deemed a controversial figure by some?. I'd take any issue to Arbcom.Carlos Rojas77 (talk) 17:48, 12 Septembet 12014 (UTC)

Fuel-Tank Manufacturer Clears the Haze
As one of the nation's leading manufacturers and suppliers of OEM and aftermarket diesel-fuel tanks, Cleveland Tank & Supply operates a busy shop floor to keep up with customer demands and its "immediate shipment" promise. The company occupies a 33,000-sq. ft. facility near Cleveland, OH. In any given week, its workforce of less than 50 employees produces tanks to fit various makes of vehicles, oil fields, specialty equipment and trailers, as well as tanks designed for specific custom applications.
This heavy, constant production boils down to one thing—a lot of welding. And with all of that welding comes the potential for weld fume in the various production areas.
"Everything we build gets welded," notes operations manager David Wilson. "Depending on the application and material used, we can easily weld 10 tanks per day per booth. We generate fume all day long."
Clearing the Haze
The company took a three-fold approach to reducing haze and improving overall air quality on the shop floor. First, it installed a free-standing fume-extraction system that reduces the overall concentration of welding fume on the floor. Both Wilson and Rich Ferris, the company's vice president and general manager, note that the company initially looked at fume-extraction systems that have arms extending to individual welding booths. However, they decided that the facility would be best served with a system that provided comprehensive protection for the entire shop floor. They started investigating options by talking with some 10 different vendors.
When they heard about The Circulator fume-exhaust system from Lincoln Electric, they were intrigued, Ferris says. This standalone system uses continuous filtration and airflow to extract and filter welding fume released during the most common welding and fabrication processes. It supplements natural, draft ventilation or forced ventilation through the roof and wall fans, if necessary. For Wilson and Ferris, the system made the most sense for Cleveland Tank's needs.
"There used to be a haze overhead throughout the whole facility, and to mitigate that we would have to run exhaust fans all year, even in the winter," says Wilson. "This made it pretty cold in the work areas. Now, using the Circulator, we rarely if ever need to run those fans."
Extinguishing Sparks from Plasma Cutting
Next, Wilson and Ferris focused on the firm's high-definition plasma table, which generates dust, fumes and potentially hazardous sparks. Cleveland Tank employs the table for cutting as many as 300 aluminum and stainless-steel sheets per day, ranging in size from 36 by 96 to 72 by 120 in. The downdraft table in the stainless-steel weld booth has made notable improvements to the booth's air quality, driving hexavalent chromium levels to 100 times lower than the specified limit.
The goal: Eradicate the fume and particulate matter in this work zone, in light of the high production and the materials used; and employ a fume-extraction solution that could stop sparks created during the cutting process from entering the extraction system's filter.
"We wanted to ensure that the system would suck up everything that burns on the table and pose no filter fire risk," Ferris says.
The answer? Lincoln Electric's Spark Guardian, part of its Guardian fire-safety solution for fume-control systems. This system, working in tandem with The Circulator, efficiently prevents sparks from passing through, and on to, the extraction filter's system. It also serves as an inline pre-separator that reduces dust load in the connected system.
"It has exceeded our expectations," Ferris says. "Because we can use it with our comprehensive fume-extraction system, we have been able to cut stainless steel on the table. That's something that would be unheard of if we hadn't put these fume-extraction measures into place."
Mitigating the Threat of Hexavalent Chromium
As Cleveland Tank officials were formulating their air-quality improvement measures, they also knew from the start of the process that they wanted to install extraction measures in the shop's stainless-steel welding booth. Welders in this booth fabricate as many as five stainless-steel tanks per week, as well as stainless-steel straps and brackets.
"While developing our specification plan for this particular area, we discovered that our levels of hexavalent chromium were 1.5 times over the allowed limit," Ferris says. "That discovery gave us even greater incentive to select the best available system and get it up and running quickly."
The company ultimately specified Lincoln Electric's DownFlex downdraft table, a dual-purpose workbench and extraction unit designed specifically to remove weld fume at the source—a must for the regulations governing stainless-steel welding. The addition of this unit made notable improvements to the booth's air quality.
"The air is so much cleaner in the booth," says welder Mike McAvoy. "It's definitely noticeable."Furthermore, since installing the downdraft table in the stainless-steel booth, hexavalent chromium levels have shrunk to 100 times lower than the specified limit.
"The remediation has been phenomenal," Ferris notes, adding that all three installed fume-extraction solutions have produced significant increases in air quality throughout the manufacturing facility. MF

How To Peel A Potato In 10 Seconds, And Other Life Hacks
By Anthea Quay, 10 Apr 2012
US mobile phone carrier Sprint created a quick tutorial on how to speed-peel a potato.
By boiling the potato then plunging it into ice-cold water for 5-seconds, the skin of the potato detaches from the spud—and with a quick twist, users are left with a whole potato ready for mashing or eating.
According to the 30-second video, the average person—who peels potatoes on a regular basis—spends about a month of his/her life peeling potatoes.
Sprint also released other instructional videos on how to 'save time' in your life, such as: instant shirt removal, quick-peeling an egg, quick-peeling a banana, quick-drying nail polish, speed-tying shoe laces, and (a life-endangering one) turbo-parking.

Gov. McAuliffe vetoes six bills that undermine public education
Thursday, March 23, 2017
Governor Terry McAuliffe today vetoed six pieces of legislation that would undermine support for Virginia's public education system.House Bill 1400
Governor Terry McAuliffe vetoed House Bill 1400, which would create a new executive branch agency known as the Virginia Virtual School. This entity, governed by an independent policy board, would facilitate the provision of full-time, online education programs for students throughout Virginia.
This bill is virtually identical to HB 8 (2016). The Office of the Attorney General advised that HB 8 was unconstitutional; consequently, I vetoed it.

To fund exploration for the next three to four months, Galahad Metals Inc. (TSX-V:GAX) is seeking a $450,000 private placement through issuing three million non-brokered units.
(Stock image)
The Ottawa junior mining firm, which raised hundreds of thousands of dollars in 2010, noted shareholder interest in the matter "is already significant" and the placement, at 15 cents a unit, is expected to close quickly.
"This funding should carry Galahad through the next three to four months, including the next diamond drill programme at Regcourt, which we hope will start before the end of Q1, if not sooner," stated chief executive Robin Dow.
Galahad raised $669,000 through flow-through and non flow-through units in a September private placement – above expectations – as well as $200,000 in April.
In November, Galahad announced a $200,000 private placement that it raised in two installments to $430,000.
Galahad hasn't announced yet whether it met the target.

Grizzlies match largest comeback, top Mavs 90-84
- Article by: CLAY BAILEY
- Associated Press
- February 27, 2013 - 10:09 PM
MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Zach Randolph scored 22 points and Marc Gasol added 21 as the Memphis Grizzlies matched their largest comeback in franchise history, rallying to beat the Dallas Mavericks 90-84 on Wednesday night.
Quincy Pondexter finished with 12 and Austin Daye added 10, all in the first half, for Memphis, which trailed by 25 points in the second quarter but stormed back to win its eighth straight. Gasol had 12 rebounds and Randolph 10 as Memphis outrebounded Dallas 46-34.
The comeback matched a 25-point winning rally at Portland on March 25, 2002.
Shawn Marion led the Mavericks with 16 points, Elton Brand finished with 12 off the bench, and O.J. Mayo added 11, despite going 5 of 13 from the field. Dirk Nowitzki had 10 for Dallas, which dropped its third straight.
Memphis trailed 51-26 with 5:25 to go before halftime, but overtook the Mavericks in the third quarter after scoring the first 20 points of the second half.
With Memphis trailing by 25 in the second quarter, the Grizzlies went on a 36-4 run spanning the half, including the 20-0 rally to open the third quarter.
The Mavericks went more than 8 minutes to start the second half before Mayo split a pair of free throws for Dallas' first point in the quarter.
Memphis would outscore Dallas 24-5 in the third as the Mavericks hit only two shots. The five points were a franchise low for a Memphis opponent in a quarter. The third quarter tally meant Memphis had crafted a 40-9 run since trailing by 51-26 in the second quarter.
Memphis would stretch the advantage to nine near the 8-minute mark of the fourth. Dallas pushed back, and when Brand hit a 10-footer with 2:50 left, the Mavericks were within two at 80-78.
But Brand was called for a foul on Gasol, then a technical. Memphis hit all three of the ensuing free throws, and Dallas got no closer than five points the rest of the way.
The Mavericks, who defeated Memphis 104-83 in Dallas on Jan. 12, sprinted to an early lead on accurate shooting. Dallas connected on nine of its first 11 shots, while Memphis missed its first eight and managed to connect on only three of its first 14.
A lot of the Grizzlies' misses came from an early aggressive defense from the Mavericks.
The Mavericks hardly looked as though they were the ones playing the second night of a back-to-back. They had much more energy, and Memphis' lack of defense allowed the Mavericks to have open shots. That meant Dallas still shooting 65 percent near the midway point of the second quarter.
Dallas continued to extend the advantage until Memphis started its comeback and trailed 55-42 at the break. Nowitzki led the Mavericks with 14 points. Gasol led Memphis with 13, while Daye came off the bench with 10.
NOTES: The Mavericks' 38 first-quarter points matched the most allowed by Memphis in a quarter this season. .Nowitzki passed Larry Bird in the first quarter on the career list for made field goals. Nowitzki is now in 21st place. . Marion grabbed an offensive rebound in the third quarter, giving him 2,500 in his career. . It was the largest Grizzlies comeback at home in franchise history. The previous record was a 23-point comeback on Jan. 29, 2000, against New Jersey when the Grizzlies were in Vancouver.

The outlandish purchase of billions of rounds of ammunition by the federal government has created a serious shortage in the United States. In response, according to a Russian website (Lenta.ru), suppliers in the United States are turning to Russia to fill the gap.
From Lenta.ru (translated by Google) on Friday:
U.S. private companies purchased from Russian producers 900 million rounds of ammunition for rifles and pistols. This is with reference to sources in the military-industrial circles reported April 26 the newspaper "Izvestia".
The subject of the contract with the Russian factories, steel machine-gun cartridges of 7.62 x 39 millimeters and a pistol – caliber 9×19 mm. It is reported that customers were five U.S. companies, including Intrac Arms International LLC and Wolf Perfomance Ammunition.
Negotiations on the supply began in 2011 with the participation of "Rosoboronexport". The first batch of cartridges were sent to American buyers in early 2013. Amount of the contract is not a source told the publication.
For information about the availability of the agreement "News" confirmed at the Ulyanovsk cartridge plant. Representative of the plant said that the U.S. has guaranteed the U.S. Defense Department, according to which the cartridges are intended only for private buyers, but not for the army units, or exports.
In an interview with the editor of Maxim world.guns.ru Popenker reported that demand for ammunition in the United States by a massive government contracts to the needs of the army and security forces. "Therefore, there is a shortage of cartridges that private companies-sellers compensated for by imports" – added Popenker. Ammunition, according to the expert, U.S. citizens can also buy for the future, fear of restrictions on weapons by the government.
7.62 millimeters is most prevalent with the advent of the Kalashnikov AK-47 and its variants, which are popular among the American population. The U.S. also has a large demand for self-loading carbine Simonov (SKS), which uses the same ammunition. Sales rifle as a weapon, produced more than half a century ago, in the U.S., there are restrictions on additional equipment.
Nine-millimeter cartridges (Para) for guns gained popularity in the United States in the early 1990s. Then the police and army units began to use weapons of mass production, "Smith & Wesson" and "Beretta", which applies this caliber ammunition.

Swordtails are well known for being aggressive and may bully guppies. The same thing can be said with Xiphophorus variatus as they inherit the swordtail's genes. Endler's Livebearers will easily crossbreed with guppies. |
wow that is quite a list! thanks so much!! :) |
The only fish I can think to add are cory species. They do display some schooling behavior and depending on what species, can be very attractively patterned and easy to breed. I think that the danios and livebearers are probably the easiest to breed out of Lupins suggestions, all of which are great suggestions. |
Go with Cories. Get about a half dozen. I don't do anything exotic (beyond feeding them frozen food a couple of times a week) and I've had my sterbas breed once and my albino bronzes breed 3 times. |
Cory cats would be one that would be likely to breed in the environment you describe. As for other small fish, the list that Lupin so generously provided contained a number of species I would never suggest mixing with guppies, and because they are egg laying and/or egg scattering fishes, are unlikely to spawn successfully in a community tank. I can think of 1 specific fish that would meet all of your requirements... coral platy. These are a dwarf species of livebearing platy, and the ratio for them is the same as the guppys (at least 2 females to each male). Coral platys tend to be a very deep and vivid red/orange in color, and are peaceful with the same breeding habits as the guppys. There is quite a long list of compatible fish for what you wish to create, but as I said, the likliehood for most of them to breed is just not there. If content with not having babies from every type of fish in the tank, some quick ideas for you to consider that are peaceful enough to put with guppys, and quite common on the market, bright in color, schooling, and somewhat "easy" to keep... Neon tetras (I would suggest neon instead of cardinals, they tend to be sturdier and the pH requirements differ with the cardinals and guppys) silver tetras choprae danios glo lite tetras lampeye rasbora (these are pretty in a school with their blue eyes glowing in the reflection of the lights and stay fairly small like the rest) green fire tetra (the green is almost irridescent, the red/orange is vivid once they're settled in and mature, and the white is so bright it just sets this fish on fire! These are one of my favorites of the smaller tetras, and they're peaceful) pygmy cory catfish instead of any of the standard cory catfish or panda corys (the pandas stay smaller than most of the others and the pygmys stay very small) the list goes on, but these are the ones off the top of my head that I would suggest you google, take a look at what they all are before making your choices. Even in a 90 or 110 gallon tank, a few spawns from guppys and/or other groups of fish in the tank will send the population soaring quickly. Be prepared to not see many fry survive, even in a heavily planted tank, if there are a large number of other fish in there. The other fish will eat the fry if they find them or can catch them, and some fish know to hang out in the right places around a female giving birth in a community tank. If you have questions about any of the fish on any of our lists here, let us know, we're happy to help.. and be prepared to take pics, I want to see this tank when it's finished, it sounds beautifully planned. :-) |

Red Spots in Kidney02/03/2009 |
I have had severe left kidney pain with blood in urine for 4 months. They finally went in to look at the inside of my kidney and found over 20 red spots of varying size that look almost like burns or hives but they are dark red. My urologist has never seen this before so it has me quite nervous. I was curious if this has been seen before, and if it has, what it could be? Thank you in advance for any information.
Thank you for visiting NetWellness. It is difficult to speculate what the red spots represent. Without actually seeing them or having a biopsy report. Sorry I can not comment further.

Red Chard with Olives and Lemon
Author Notes: My weekly CSA box seems to have chard or kale every week at this time of year, and my Meyer lemon tree is loaded with fruit. Meanwhile, more and more people have food issues, as expressed perfectly by Roz Chast's brilliant Thanksgiving week cartoon which featured a table-full of people, each with a designation (vegan, on a cleanse, macrobiotic, kosher, picky gourmet, allergic to wheat, etc.) While not totally local (the olives and the shallots come from out of town) this recipe seems to be acceptable, even to my friend who cannot eat anything "from the nightshade family." It makes a good side dish with a roast, or a wheat-free vegan option when served over polenta. —abbyarnold
Serves 6
- 2 bunches of red chard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 shallots, chopped fine
- 1 Meyer lemon, zested and juiced
- 20 kalamata olives, pitted and roughly chopped
- salt and pepper
- Cut the leaves off the stems all the way up the "spine" of each chard leaf; you'll have two long leaves and one very long stem from each piece of chard. Chop the stems into ½ inch chunks and sauté them in the olive oil in a dutch oven, deepish sauté pan, or wok.
- After about 10 minutes, when they are getting soft, stir in the chopped shallots. Slice the chard leaves across in one-inch strips, and add them to the sauté. Sprinkle a tiny bit of salt along with pepper, and add ¼ cup of lemon juice. Stir the whole thing. Turn down the heat to lowish, cover, and cook for about 15 more minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure it is all getting cooked thoroughly.
- When the chard is no longer tough, and more in the realm of melty, stir in the olives and the lemon zest, and remove from the heat. Serve ASAP!

1. It's a Techno-Science World
Despite excellent computer programming, the most sophisticated computer models and extensive knowledge of earthquake activity, six teams of scientists could not predict when and where an earthquake was most likely to occur in a five-year study. The study took into account past seismic history, activity on fault lines and other data. The information was fed into a computer model, the scientists made their best guesses and waited to see what happened. The results were mixed, despite all the training and experience the scientists had. Find a newspaper article that discusses how scientists use technology to find answers to scientific questions. Discuss the article as a class. Then make predictions on how technology will change scientific research in the future.
Core/National Standard: Understanding how technology is essential to science by providing instruments and techniques to make observations.
2. TV and Presidents
On October 5, 1947, President Harry S. Truman gave the first televised presidential address from the White House in Washington, D.C. Today, of course, we're used to seeing presidents make news on TV. We also learn a lot about what the president does from the newspaper. In teams, search today's newspaper to find out what President Obama was doing yesterday and what he's planning to do today. Or look up his schedule at www.whitehouse.gov. Write a paragraph summarizing what you think is the most important thing he will do today.
Core/National Standard: Using reading for multiple purposes, such as gathering information, enjoyment or learning new procedures.
3. Choose Your Words Carefully
Cheat, deceiver, deluder, equivocator, fabricator, falsifier, fibber, maligner, misleader. These are all words Herman Cain, a Republican candidate for president, could have used when talking about President Obama, but instead he chose to call the president a liar. Cain said Obama's efforts to raise taxes on the wealthy while saying it's about "math" and not "class warfare" is "a lie." "Well, if you're not supposed to call the president a liar, he shouldn't tell a lie," Cain said in a Yahoo! News article. How you phrase things in your speech and writing can make the all the difference in the message you intend to deliver. For example, the word "assertive" is more easily accepted than "aggressive," even though it literally means "aggressive." Search the newspaper for articles or opinion pieces that contain inflammatory speech. Cut or print out the articles and highlight the words. Using a thesaurus, find alternative words the speaker or writer might have used that would have changed the tone of the article or opinion piece.
Core/National Standard: Distinguishing among the connotations of words with similar denotations.
4. Spreading Hate in Cyber-Space
Many kids find themselves on the receiving end of a bully's harassment. Usually these encounters happen on the playground or in the hallways between classes. But more and more, bullies are taking to cyber-space to taunt and humiliate other people. According to a Reuters news article, New York State Senator Jeffrey Klein wants cyber-bullying to end now. He introduced a bill in the state's senate that would make cyber-bullying a form of stalking - a felony crime. In addition, if the cyber-bullying led a child to commit suicide, the bully could be charged with second-degree manslaughter. A study recently showed that cyber-bullying can be harder on a victim than a physical beating. In the newspaper or online, find an article about bullying that involves the Internet. Using that article, write a strong argument for or against passing laws to deal with cyber-bullying. Support your claims with clear reasons and relevant evidence.
Core/National Standards: Writing arguments to support claims with logical reasoning and relevant evidence.
5. Out of This World
"Close Encounters of the Third Kind" showed aliens on the silver screen. Roswell, New Mexico, claims to have had them visit. And now, a film documentary from Mexico asserts that the Mayan people there had direct contact with them. Everyone loves a good alien story, but the makers of the film "Revelations of the Mayans 2012 and Beyond" insist they will provide evidence that extraterrestrial contact was made with the ancient culture, according to a Reuters article. Mexico is releasing evidence that will be corroborated by archaeologists, the filmmakers say. Find a newspaper article about a controversial topic. Create a multi-media project supporting or disproving key points in the story.
Core/National Standard: Including multi-media components and visual displays in presentations to clarify claims and findings and emphasize salient points.

This is just a reminder to keep tabs on what Congress is up to. Here are some bills that have been introduced to 111st Congress.

Payroll company ADP and Moody's Analytics released their monthly employment report today, which announced that the country's nonfarm private sector added just 130,000 jobs in October—a possible early indication of the economic fallout from the 16-day federal government shutdown in the earlier part of the month.
"The government shutdown and debt limit brinksmanship hurt the already softening job market in October," said Moody's Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi, in a press release. "Average monthly growth has fallen below 150,000. Any further weakening would signal rising unemployment. The weaker job growth is evident across most industries and company sizes."
These gains are lower than ADP's September jobs number, which was originally reported at 166,000 and revised down to 145,000.
By industry, construction added 14,000 jobs (a 0.23 percent change from September) and manufacturing added 5,000 (a 0.04 percent change). The professional and business services industry added 20,000. The other major October jobs report, by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, is scheduled to be released on Nov. 8, and will include more detailed employment updates, such as construction type and jobs for the architecture and engineering industry.

The United States military has been stuck in quagmires before, but this one is of its own making: These days it canât seem to pull itself out of the mess surrounding sexual assault.
Why should San Bernardino County worry? Well, we do have several active military bases and a higher-than-average percentage of veterans. According to the 2010 census, 6 percent of the countyâs population is military veterans, compared to a statewide average of 5.4 percent.
Those numbers of veterans include a growing number of women. And, based on the numbers, we can expect a growing number of them to be sexual assault victims.
In the past two weeks, the head of the Air Forceâs Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program and a Fort Hood Army sergeant, who was supposed to be working with recovering sexual assault victims, were arrested on sexual assault charges.
Congressional leaders are calling for an overhaul of the way the military trains its personnel on sexual assault issues and in the way sexual assault cases are handled.
But not to worry.
The military has things well in hand. In fact, last week, Army Maj. Gen. Gary S. Patton, a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, spoke out on a new Department of Defense strategy dealing with the problem.
In a release from the DOD, Patton was quoted as saying that the new strategy âoperationalizes those tasks and defines our priorities and actions and really provides authoritative guidance to all DOD agencies and components on sexual assault prevention and response program.â
Those words must be comforting to the 27,000 military women that EMILYâs List â" a womenâs advocacy group â" estimates were sexually assaulted last year. Just 3,000 cases were reported. But that was a 35 percent increase over 2010.
That seems like a pretty substantial jump in two years.
But you can expect it to drop soon because, according to the DOD release, the new strategy âaligns all programs in the department with the five lines of effort from the Joint Chiefs: prevention, investigation, accountability, advocacy and assessment.â
That may include beefing up already robust education programs.
In a report last Wednesday, May 15, National Public Radio played a snippet of a video that is part of sexual assault training for military personnel. On the video two soldiers in a bar are heard discussing the problematic behavior of one of their brothers in arms who is hassling a woman.
âThat girlâs trying to leave and he keeps grabbing her,â one soldier says.
The other soldier replies â¦

How do filmmakers create slow-motion and time-lapse videos? Students combine a camera's frame rate, a video player's frame rate, and proportional reasoning to explore movie magic.
What's a healthy weight? Students evaluate the Body Mass Index (BMI) formula for several celebrities, and discuss whether BMI is always a good measure of health.
What size ice cubes should you put in your drink? Students use surface area, volume, and rates to explore the relationship between the size of ice cubes and how good they are at doing their job: chilling.
How long does it take to burn off food from McDonald's? Students use unit rates and proportional reasoning to determine how long they'd have to exercise to burn off different McDonald's menu items.
How much should people pay for cable? Students interpret scatterplots and calculate the costs and revenues for consumers and providers under both the bundled and à la carte pricing schemes to determine which would be better for U.S. companies and customers.
Mathalicious lessons provide teachers with an opportunity to teach standards-based math through real-world topics that students care about.
How have video game console speeds changed over time? Students write an exponential function based on the Atari 2600 and Moore's Law, and see whether the model was correct for subsequent video game consoles.
Do social networks like Facebook make us more connected? Students create a quadratic function to model the number of possible connections as a network grows, and consider the consequences of relying on Facebook for news and information.

One day many years ago, the Rev. Wade Schemmel said there were two things he'd never do: serve as a UCC Conference minister and run for public office.Written by Daniel Hazard
Schemmel - now in his 11th year as Conference minister of the UCC's Northern Plains Conference - is off and running for North Dakota state representative in District 32. He'll be on the ballot for the Nov. 6 election.
"We're trying to see if a guy with a ponytail can win an elected office," quipped Schemmel.
But seriously...he said he firmly believes it's a call.
"And if God calls, God empowers," said Schemmel. "I do believe in God's empowering presence. Everything I've done in ministry the past 40 years has prepared me for this."
Schemmel is running as part of a "team" with two fellow Democrats on a "Justice for All" theme. Joining him on the ballot are former U.S. Congress member Wanda Rose, running for state senate; and Jim Unkenholz, who is pursuing a congressional seat.
"The district has voted solidly Republican the last 12 years, but there are more Democrats than Republicans in the district," said Schemmel. "Our chances of winning are getting better. Initially, they were between zero and none."
Encouraged by friends and colleagues to run, Schemmel is motivated by the many voices in his district that, he says, have not been heard.
"We're talking about reaching out to the margins," he said. "We're talking about care for those who aren't cared for, about maintenance of parks, about property taxes that don't kill the poor people and empower the rich ones, which is what we have right now."
"Those issues are very near and dear to my heart," said Schemmel. "In some cases, it's personal. It's about people I knew and cared for."
Going to bat for teachers is also high on Schemmel's list, he said. "We have an almost $2 million surplus in this state; let's use it. We're also talking about the impact of oil and coal and the well-being of the state, particularly for future generations."
As for door-to-door campaigning, Schemmel sets the bar low. In addition to serving out his term as Conference minister (it concludes at the end of the year), Schemmel said he has physical limitations.
"I told them I don't have a lot of time to run," he said. "I can't go door to door. I don't walk that well. I'm going on 67. I'll have to rent a golf cart to go door to door."
If Schemmel wins in November, his retirement from Conference ministry will be well-timed.
"If we don't win, we'll have fun losing," he said. "We're hoping people join us on this adventure."

I have a serious hankering. I need some BBQ for dinner tonight. I live on the Westside but I don't mind driving to something that's worth it. I was thinking about trying Baby Blues on Lincoln in Venice. Good idea? Any other recs?
Bludso's couldn't be harder to get to from Santa Monica. I don't ever see myself driving down there for the BBQ, to be honest. How can I track down Bigmista?
Drove to Bludso's from Venice last weekend. WELL WORTH THE DRIVE. It is amazing. And Compton is a trip, too. Make sure you order the mac n cheese as it is unlike any other I've ever had.
