R's on the Road........... To Reading
Hot on the heels of Saturday's draw at Sheffield United comes another tricky away trip, this time at Reading. The Royals have hit some form recently and have won their two home games in the last week against Derby and Bristol City, so this is by no means an easy game.
Here's all you need to know before your trip to Berkshire.
The Stadium.
Current Capacity – 24,200
Reading were formed in 1871 and were nicknamed The Biscuitmen after the town's main trades Huntley and Palmers biscuits. Following the factory being shut down in the 1970's the club changed its nickname to The Royals, due to their location in the Royal County of Berkshire.
Reading started off playing at Reading Recreation Ground until 1878, before moving on to Reading Cricket Ground (1878–1882), Coley Park (1882–1889) and Caversham Cricket Ground (1889–1896).
In September 1896 the club moved to the purpose built Elm Park and were at home there for 102 years. During this time the club finally gained Football League status after being elected to join in 1920.
Reading won their first trophy in 1988 when they defeated Luton Town in the Simod Cup, also known as the Full Members Cup and the Zenith Data Systems Cup. The Cup was formed after the Heysel Stadium disaster because English clubs were banned from European Competition and gave clubs in the top two tiers of English Football another trophy to compete for, however after the formulation of the Premier League the Cup became defunct after just seven years.
The Royals moved from Elm Park to the Madejeski Stadium, named after Chairman John Madejeski. The Madejeski Stadium is on the very outskirts of the town and is right next to the M4 motorway allowing an easy get away for some of the travelling fans.
Following promotion from League One in the 2002/03 season it then took the Royals another three seasons to secure their first ever promotion to the top tier of English Football. After a successful first season the club failed to retain their status and were relegated during their second season in the Premier League.
Further plans to increase the capacity were approved during the clubs time in the Premiership. These plans included extending three sides of the stadium (North, South and East) and replacing the roof, this would take three years to complete. However due to the clubs relegation to the Championship the planned start and completion dates have yet to be confirmed and remain a mystery.
Away fans will take their place in the South Stand (Fosters Lager Stand) and an initial 2,100 ticket allocation has been given to the club. Allocations can be increased to 4,300 when it's needed or requested. The facilities inside are decent, the legroom is more than adequate and better than you would get at other grounds. Unfortunately the stadium is one of those modern bowl shaped models and the atmosphere can suffer because of this. There is no wow factor when you get to the ground and when you get to the away gates you are often greeted to security staff who are often over the top and really set the tone for your visit. I have read reviews from other fans of clubs and they have also complained about their behaviour and have also reported that some fans have been refused entry because in the security's opinion some people have been deemed 'too drunk'. It's not one of the best days/nights out to football but once you get past the front doors just enjoy yourself and make some noise!
The History between the teams.
At Reading (38)
Reading 25
Draw 7
Rangers' last victory on the road against Reading came in September 1997, it was also the last R's victory in the fixture before the 4-1 victory earlier this season, in a 2-1 victory.
Lee Hodges got the Royals off to the perfect start with a goal in the opening 10 minutes after Carl Asaba's shot had rebounded off the crossbar to give Hodges an easy chance to net his first goal in Royals colours. The 1-0 score line remained the same going into half time. With the Royals seemingly in control on 74 minutes the R's grabbed an equalizer. A cross from the right hand side found the smallest player on the pitch, John Spencer and the micro striker grabbed the leveller. Just 60 seconds later it was 2-1!! A cross from the left hand side was diverted towards goal, by Spencer again I think (correct me if I'm wrong) with the shot seemingly going wide it suddenly hits Steve Swailes and flies into the bottom corner, sending the travelling support into raptures. Right at the end Rangers' would've made it 3-1 if it wasn't for a great save by Royals 'keeper Mautone.
How to get there.
By Car:- The postcode for the Madejeski Stadium is RG2 0FL
Leave the M4 at junction 11 and follow the A33 in the direction of Reading, the ground is just a short distance from here.
As for parking it can prove pretty tricky and/or expensive. There are a few places to park down Imperial Way (just off the roundabout before the stadium) you can also try Acre Road industrial park as well, but do be careful because if you are not paying to park there you could easily find yourself parking on private property and getting back to your car with a parking ticket for your troubles.
By Train:- The stadium is nowhere near being within walking distance so the best bet is to jump on the special football bus to the ground. The bus is the number 79 and runs every 7-10 minutes, or so I'm lead to believe.
Pubs 'n' Grub.
There are no pubs near the stadium. If travelling by train I would recommend The Three Guineas pub, this is traditionally an away fans pub and is right outside the train station as you walk out of it on your right hand side, it is also outside the bus station so it's ideal. Closer to the ground is the Holiday Inn hotel just off Imperial Way and is a 10-15 minute walk from the ground.
The town centre offers the usual retail outlets for you to eat at, alternatively there is a retail park right outside the stadium with McDonalds, KFC and Pizza Hut on offer to you there.
Alcohol is on offer in the ground at £3 for a pint of Fosters or Courage Bitter.
All pies and pasties cost £2.60 and rollover hotdogs are £3 each.

Daphne (/ˈdæfni/; Greek: Δάφνη, meaning "laurel")[1] is a minor figure in Greek mythology known as a naiad—a type of female nymph associated with fountains, wells, springs, streams, brooks and other bodies of freshwater. There are several versions of the myth, but the general narrative is that because of her beauty, Daphne attracted the attention and ardor of the god Apollo (Phoebus). Apollo pursued her and just before being overtaken, Daphne pleaded to her father, the rivergod Ladon, and Ge (Gaia)[2] for help. So Ladon then transformed Daphne into a laurel tree. In Metamorphoses by Roman poet Ovid, she is identified as the daughter of the rivergod Pineios in Thessaly.[3]
At the Pythian Games which were held every four years in Delphi in honour of Apollo, a wreath of laurel gathered from the Vale of Tempe in Thessaly was given as a prize. According to Pausanias the reason for this was "simply and solely because the prevailing tradition has it that Apollo fell in love with the daughter of Ladon (Daphne)".[4]
In mythology[edit]
According to Greek myth, Apollo chased the nymph Daphne, daughter of the river god Peneus and the nymph Creusa in Thessaly,[5] or of the river Ladon in Arcadia.[6] The pursuit of a local nymph by an Olympian god, part of the archaic adjustment of religious cult in Greece, was given an arch anecdotal turn in Ovid's Metamorphoses,[7] where the god's infatuation was caused by an arrow from Eros, who wanted to make Apollo pay for making fun of his archery skills and to demonstrate the power of love's arrow. Ovid treats the encounter, Apollo's lapse of majesty, in the mode of elegiac lovers,[8] and expands the pursuit into a series of speeches. According to the rendering Daphne prays for help either to the river god Peneus or to Gaia, and is transformed into a laurel (Laurus nobilis): "a heavy numbness seized her limbs, thin bark closed over her breast, her hair turned into leaves, her arms into branches, her feet so swift a moment ago stuck fast in slow-growing roots, her face was lost in the canopy. Only her shining beauty was left."[9] "Why should she wish to escape? Because she is Artemis Daphnaia, the god's sister," observed the Freudian anthropologist Géza Róheim,[10] and Joseph Fontenrose concurs;[11] boldly stating such a one-to-one identity doubtless oversimplifies the picture: "the equation of Artemis and Daphne in the transformation myth itself clearly cannot work".[12] The laurel became sacred to Apollo, and crowned the victors at the Pythian Games.[13] Most artistic impressions of the myth focus on the moment of transformation.
A version of the attempt on Daphne's sworn virginity that has been less familiar since the Renaissance was narrated by the Hellenistic poet Parthenius, in his Erotica Pathemata, "The Sorrows of Love".[14] Parthenius' tale, based on the Hellenistic historian Phylarchus, was known to Pausanias, who recounted it in his Description of Greece (2nd century CE).[15] In this, which is the earliest written account, Daphne is a mortal girl fond of hunting and determined to remain a virgin; she is pursued by the boy Leucippus ("white stallion"), who disguises himself in a girl's outfit in order to join her band of huntresses. He is so successful in gaining her innocent affection, that Apollo is jealous and puts it into the girl's mind to stop to bathe in the river Ladon; there, as all strip naked, the ruse is revealed, as in the myth of Callisto, and the affronted huntresses plunge their spears into Leucippus. At this moment Apollo's attention becomes engaged, and he begins his own pursuit; Parthenius' modern editor remarks on the rather awkward transition, linking two narratives.[16]
While the story of Daphne is traditionally connected with the bay laurel (Laurus nobilis), almost 90 species of evergreen shrubs noted for their scented flowers and poisonous berries are grouped under the genus Daphne—including the garland flower (Daphne cneorum); the February Daphne or mezereon (Daphne mezereum); and spurge laurel or wood laurel (Daphne laureola). These genera are categorized in the family Thymelaeaceae and are native to Asia, Europe and North Africa
Artemis Daphnaia[edit]
Artemis Daphnaia, who had her temple among the Lacedemonians, at a place called Hypsoi[17] in antiquity, on the slopes of Mount Cnacadion near the Spartan frontier,[18] had her own sacred laurel trees.[19]
Apollo Daphnephoros, Eretria[edit]
At Eretria the identity of an excavated 7th- and 6th-century BCE temple[20] to Apollo Daphnephoros, "Apollo, laurel-bearer", or "carrying off Daphne", a "place where the citizens are to take the oath", is identified in inscriptions.[21]

CNET News Video
High-tech rifle lets shooters hit a target 1000 yards awayAustin-based TrackingPoint introduces what they're calling the world's first smart rifle. Armed with a high-tech tracking scope and a guided trigger, it allows hunters and even first shooters to hit a target 1000 yards away. CNET's Kara Tsuboi sits down...
-Let's start with just a sentence or two about what this gun is all about. What makes it different? -Also, we essentially make a smart rifle, okay? We take a normal rifle and normal ammunition and put a-- we integrate it with technology that allow someone to be able to make more accurate shots, allows them to stream video of those shots and collaborate with them and allows them to actually downloaded, share a recorded videos of them. -Tell us how that works with your gun? -So because we're able to basically-- we're able to integrate several technologies, right? One is, we have a network tracking scope that has a series of sensors in it. It has laser range finders, which gives you an exact range. It has temperature and pressure sensors. It has a inertia measurement unit in it. And what that does is it's a collection of gyroscopes, magnetometer and accelerometers that allow the scope to know its orientation is space because angular orientation is important from a ballistic perspective. And the scope actually also tracks the target. So you can place a lock on your target. It will persistently track that target as it moves. It'll give you the velocity of that target up to 10 miles an hour or allow you to make that shot on that target while it's moving. In addition to the network tracking scope, we also have the guided trigger. So the way a shooter shoot is he designates a target and then places a persistent red dot on the place where that shooter wants to shoot. If he doesn't like it, he presses his tag button again to clear and it continues to tag until he gets the dot he want. You know, and once a dot is placed, he immediately sees a blue X. That blue X represents the immediate ballistic calculation. When he wants to arm the system, he squeezes and holds the trigger. That turns the X red so the system will only fire when the red X and the red dot are perfectly aligned. So, if he ever wants to abandon the shot, he just releases the trigger and goes back to blue X red dot won't fire. -What precautions are you taking to insure that this don't get into the wrong hands especially as your community grows. -Well, have an application process for every gun and every gun goes through the federal state in local level background checks that are supposed to happen, you know, state by state, they differ. But every sales made through a federal licensed firearm dealer. In addition, we give the owner an option to passcode his scope with that allows him to do is when he storing it. He can put a passcode in just like he has on his phone that allows him to lockout the advanced functionality of that scopes or it gives in the ability to put an extra check in for, you know, in case it gets stolen or in case he feels it'd be out of his control. -I mean, is there a concern, you know, that obviously that this could get into the wrong hands, you know, and the technology being so accurate as it is that it could do some damage, more damage then perhaps it wasn't intended for obvious. -Well, it's the firearms like we are integrating our technology with the existence of [unk]. The existence of people's [unk]. It's bold action fire arm. It is no different than any of the other firearms already out there. We're just allowing that person to maximize the potential with that firearm can do. -Outside of our target audience, you know, the hunting community. What type of reception have you received? You know, for example, coming here to the bay area. -Uh-hmm. -You know, which is not probably as maybe gun-friendly as Austin, Texas. How were people receiving this type of weapon? -So we find that, people who don't like guns are not necessarily gonna like our type of gun anymore than they don't like all the other guns. So, you know, that's understandable view point. It is what it is. We find the people do like guns and have all have admitted, "Hey, that's pretty amazing technology." Some of them said, "This is not for me." Outside the shooting community from people who are not necessarily, you know, happy about guns. They have to accept the fact that this is not-- I didn't do anything different with the gun but we've done it and use technology to make that gun more effective to make the experience of those shooters who they already don't agree with a better experience. -You know, when it comes to music player, you do want things to be easy. -Uh-hmm. -Is there a danger that it might be too easy for something like a powerful weapon? -Well, it's not a danger that can be too easy for our perspective of the people with every experience. People wanted to be something that's easy and it's intuitive to them, right? So whether it's snowboarding or basketball or any outdoor experiences, everybody wants to have the information that they need at the right time to make the right decision, to be a successful with that endeavor, who were very careful to be, you know, to be sensitive to the political environment but at the same time to emphasize the technology like Consumer Electronic Show to be able to say, "Hey, look. I understand whatever your beliefs maybe and whatever your politics are with respect to firearms. We're here to showcase the technology.

Sylvia Browne claims she is a psychic. She told Amanda Berry's mother that her daughter was dead back in 2004.
Being a psychic is a full-time job that can pay pretty well. I thought it might be helpful to tell you how Sylvia Browne makes money. Beyond lying and being a total piece of shit, she employs another technique. It's called cold reading.
Cold reading is a series of techniques used by some mentalists, psychics, fortune-tellers, mediums and illusionists to determine or express details about another person, often in order to convince them that the reader knows much more about a subject than they actually do. Without prior knowledge of a person, a practiced cold reader can still quickly obtain a great deal of information about the subject by analyzing the person's body language, age, clothing or fashion, hairstyle, gender, sexual orientation, religion, race or ethnicity, level of education, manner of speech, place of origin, etc. Cold readers commonly employ high probability guesses about the subject, quickly picking up on signals from their subjects as to whether their guesses are in the right direction or not, and then emphasizing and reinforcing any chance connections the subjects acknowledge while quickly moving on from missed guesses.
Psychics size you up. Quickly. And because the human condition isn't tremendously complex, they often get important things right. Love. Loss. Heartache. Death. Financial struggles.
Recruiters use cold reading, too. If you are lucky enough to actually pass the six-second resume test and meet with a recruiter or HR professional, many will judge you based on the same criteria listed above — even if those judgements are illegal.
I wonder why we have interviews at all. HR professionals could easily do background checks to verify data on a CV. We can do assessments to determine competencies. We can test for values and work ethics. And we could actually meet a candidate via Skype or HireVue before the first day of work.
But no. Recruiters want to see you in the flesh. They want to look you in the eye and make sure you're likable and you are a good cultural fit.
I get it . . . . but I think it's a version of cold reading. It seems unreasonable to believe that someone can meet with you for 30 minutes and judge your motivation, aptitude and ability based on a simple conversation. To me, it feels nothing more than an unsophisticated psychic trick. And I think that technology can solve for bias and discrimination in the hiring process.
But my opinion is not widely held among HR and recruiting professionals.
So what can you do to protect yourself from cold reading and have a fighting chance?
I dunno. You can follow the shitty career advice you see out there.
- Do your research on a company.
- Wear clean clothes.
- Don't smell.
- Don't be too ethnic or too religious.
- Don't be too fat, too old or too expensive to employ.
- Don't talk too much.
- Don't stutter.
- Sit up tall.
- Don't say anything negative about your previous employer.
- Be cheap.
- Be available.
- Show loyalty without being too desperate.
If you can pass the cold reading test and get a job in 2013, you let me know.

The Socialist candidate Michelle Bachelet pulled off a dramatic return to Chile's presidency in Sunday's election and quickly promised radical reform to the country's education system, higher taxes on businesses and a new constitution.
Bachelet overwhelmingly won the second round of the election, taking 62 percent of the vote to just 38 percent for Evelyn Matthei, her right-wing rival.
The two women, childhood friends who briefly lived opposite each other on the same street, emerged as the two leading candidates from the first round of voting on Nov.17.
Bachelet's victory sparked wild celebrations as thousands of supporters poured onto Santiago's main street, the Alameda, and at her party's campaign headquarters at the Hotel San Francisco in the heart of the capital.
"We need real change in Chile, not just the cosmetic changes we've seen over the past few years," said Claudia Cifuentes, one of those celebrating on the streets of the capital. "I'm optimistic. I honestly believe this will be the government that Chileans want and after years of disappointment."
Bachelet, a 62-year-old single mother, promised to rule for everyone.
"Now is the time! Now, at last, is the time," she told the crowd.
"We have the people with us, we have majorities in parliament and in the regional councils. The political, social and economic conditions are right. We have the willpower and we are united.
"Today in Chile, a clear majority of people want the changes we're proposing. It's time to get to work."
A pediatrician-turned-politician, Bachelet led this election campaign from the start and never it never looked like she would lose.
"People trust her," said Kirsten Sehnbruch, professor of public policy at the University of Chile. "This is a country in which trust is quite low on all fronts, so to have a politician at the top in whom you trust is very important indeed.
"She's very charismatic, she's someone the average Chilean can relate to, both women and men. She's become a very able politician. She's learned a lot in recent years and she did things for people in her first term that they remember and are grateful for."
The new president will take office on March 11, replacing center-right President Sebastián Piñera.
Bachelet, who ruled from 2006 to 2010, will become the first Chilean leader since 1952 to return to the job. Under the constitution, incumbent presidents are barred from seeking a second consecutive term.
Her second government is likely to be more radical than her first and will enjoy a clear majority in both houses of parliament, something she lacked for much of her first term.
Her center-left New Majority coalition will have 68 seats in the 120-seat Chamber of Deputies and 21 seats in the 38-seat Senate. She should also be able to rely on parliamentary support from a handful of left-wing independents, giving her a clear mandate to push through her ambitious reform agenda.
High on her "to do" list is reform of the education system, which relies heavily on household contributions to top up meager state funding. She wants to turn it into a fully state-funded system within the next six years. As a first step, she has promised that by the end of her four-year term, the state will be paying the tuition fees of the poorest 70 percent of Chile's higher education students.
That will require money. In total, her education reforms will need extra funding of between 1.5 and 2 percent of gross domestic product each year, according to her aides.
Most of that money will come from tax reform. Bachelet plans to raise Chile's basic corporate tax rate from 20 to 25 percent over the next four years while reducing the top rate of personal income tax from 40 to 35 percent. She also wants to abolish a mechanism that allows companies to indefinitely defer the payment of tax on their re-invested profits.
Aside from education and tax reform, the third pillar of Bachelet's campaign is constitutional change. She says Chile needs a new constitution to replace the one drawn up under General Augusto Pinochet in 1980, and a new electoral system. The current one ensures that the two big coalitions get almost all the seats in Congress, split fairly evenly between them.
One of Bachelet's challenges will be to keep her coalition in check. During her first government, she headed a four-party coalition but this time she represents seven parties. At one end of the spectrum sits the Communists while at the other sits the Christian Democrats. On ethical issues like relaxation of Chile's strict abortion laws and the legalization of gay marriage, they do not see eye-to-eye.
Another challenge will be the slowing economy, which grew by 5.6 percent in 2012 but is expected to slow to 4.2 percent this year. Earlier this month, the Central Bank said it could ease further still in 2014, warning of a potential growth rate of below 4 percent.
The bank painted a somber picture for next year, saying that prices for Chile's main export commodity — copper — would fall, and the country's trade surplus would shrink to $600 million next year from a forecast $2.5 billion in 2013.
Some business leaders have complained that Bachelet's left-wing agenda will only exacerbate this slowdown and will drive away foreign investors.
Bachelet's main foreign policy challenges will center on relations with Chile's northern neighbors, Peru and Bolivia. Both countries have taken Chile to the International Court of Justice in The Hague over border disputes. The court is due to rule on the dispute with Peru on January 27, while a verdict in the Bolivian case is not expected for some years.
From January 1, Chile will replace Guatemala on the United Nations Security Council, giving it an important vote on critical issues, including international response to the use of chemical weapons in Syria. Bachelet has said the appointment will enhance Chile's role in shaping global events.

Here's one of our customers' reviews:
"We decided to use Units Online as they came highly recommend. We bought a house and decided to knock the kitchen and dining room into one. We made the initial enquiry and were very pleased by the knowledge and professionalism of the staff. We had a rough idea of the sort of thing we were looking for so we visited the showroom. We sat with Tony who showed us a very wide range of kitchen units and work tops. Tony planned out our entire kitchen for us. This process took around 3 hours and every detail was taken care of. There were so many things we hadn't even considered that Tony suggested. We were very pleased with the speed of delivery and the exceptional quality of the kitchen units. We decided to have granite work tops, we also used Mayflower stone for this who were also exceptional. We can't recommend Units Online enough. We love the new space and spend so much time relaxing, eating and socialising in our new kitchen." Mandy Clements from Taunton - July 2018

WASHINGTON – Ruslan Fedotenko scored twice and Ryan Callahan had three assists as the New York Rangers set a season high for goals in a 6-3 win over the erratic Washington Capitals on Friday.
After a scoreless first period, the Rangers scored three times in a 4:18 span in the second.
Artem Anisimov and Brad Richards had a goal and an assist each and Dan Girardi had two assists for New York, which had lost two straight after a seven-game winning streak.
Alex Ovechkin broke a six-game streak without a goal with his eighth of the season—his first at home. It came in the third period, with the Capitals trailing 5-2.
Marian Gaborik scored his 10th goal of the season at 3:37 to give New York a 1-0 lead. He took a cross-ice pass from Derek Stepan and cleanly beat goaltender Michal Neuvirth with a slap shot from the right wing.
With Washington's Cody Eakin off the ice for a holding penalty, the Rangers controlled the faceoff, and eight seconds later, Anisimov, who assisted on Gaborik's goal, shot past a confused Neuvirth at 6:52 for a 2-0 lead. It was Anisimov's second goal of the season.
It was New York's first power-play goal after failing on 14 straight attempts.
A little more than a minute later, the Rangers' Ryan Callahan stole the puck from Marcus Johansson in front of the Capitals' net and dished it to Ruslan Fedotenko, who easily made it 3-0 at 7:55 with his second goal this season.
Washington, which won its first seven games this season, but has gone 5-8-1 since, quickly narrowed New York's lead to 3-2.
Less than a minute after Fedotenko's first goal, Troy Brouwer was in front of the Rangers' goal and tapped his fourth goal of the season past Henrik Lundqvist at 8:53.
Washington's John Carlson made it 3-2 on a power-play goal at 12:52. From about 30 feet, he shot over Lundqvist's left pad. It was his fourth goal of the season.
New York took a 4-2 lead at 16:45 on Brian Boyle's goal—his second of the season.
Richards' seventh goal of the season gave New York a 5-2 lead at 4:14 of the third.
Fedotenko scored his second goal—New York's sixth at 11:40.
Ovechkin's goal came at 5:57 of the third.
NOTES: New York F Andre Deveaux served the first of a three-game suspension for an illegal check to the head of Florida Panthers forward Tomas Fleischmann on Wednesday. … The Rangers recalled F Carl Hagelin and C John Mitchell from Connecticut of the AHL, and both assisted on Boyle's goal. It was Hagelin's NHL debut. … Carlson's goal was the Capitals' first on a 5-on-4 power play in 31 attempts. They scored on a 5-on-3 power play in Monday's win over Phoenix. … Carlson and Brouwer each had a goal and assist for Washington. Nicklas Backstrom had two assists. … Capitals D Mike Green (groin) and D John Erskine (shoulder) were scratched. … The Capitals play at Buffalo on Saturday. … The Rangers host Philadelphia on Saturday.

Hey all, let's help Ben Stiller and Sean Penn raise money to help rebuild schools in Haiti. There's still so much work to do.
Starting February 7th, the person who joins Ben Stiller's team and raises the most money by February 9th at 11:59pm eastern will win 2 Free Tickets to the Help Haiti Event in NYC on Friday, February 11th. (who wants to come with me???) Ben Stiller is hosting the event which will honor Sean Penn's relentless efforts to help Haiti. It will also raise money for their foundation and what we are doing in Haiti.
This was all inspired by Ben Stiller's first visit to Haiti in 2009, he started a unique fundraising campaign called Stillerstrong. Basically, the idea was to rip off Lance Armstrong's wristband campaign for Livestrong, only do it with headbands. His first campaign resulted in more than $300,000 raised to support the Save the Children School in Cévérine, Haiti. When the January 2010 earthquake hit, they expanded their commitment to Haiti with a broader effort to rebuild schools for children affected by the catastrophe. They launched the "Haitian School Initiative" in partnership with Architecture for Humanity – a non-profit organization that brings design, construction and development services to communities in need.
The Stiller Foundation and Architecture for Humanity are currently rebuilding four badly damaged schools in the Port-Au-Prince area, which will allow hundreds or even thousands of kids to get back in school as quickly as possible. Schools are an important safe haven for kids in times of crisis and are instrumental in delivering not only education but they're also essential for delivering healthcare, nutrition and other critical services.
The more money we raise the more schools we can build. I'm hoping anyone who is looking for a way to help Haiti emerge from this crisis will join us in this effort.
Please click the Donate button to help support. Donate $10, $25 or $100...any amount will help make a real impact for these kids.

Facebook just got into local search. Ba-boom.
Later today the company will update the Nearby feature in its iPhone and Android apps to enable users to find nearby local businesses by name or by category. Results will be ranked by ratings, recommendations, check-ins and Likes.
Below is the "just the facts" version of the story. My slightly more embellished version of the announcement is at Search Engine Land.
Only those businesses (large or small) that have a Facebook Page will be listed. Accordingly you can imagine this represents a powerful new incentive to create a Facebook Page. It also means that the data source will be businesses themselves rather than third party data vendors.
It's only mobile (for now). And there are no ads planned for the immediate future, but you can imagine that will change in all probability over time.
We will soon speak of local Facebook ranking factors. And here's what Facebook recommends on that front:
- Update your Page to include all of your basic information, including your address, store hours, phone number, and details about your business in the About section
- Update your category to make sure you appear when people are looking for your specific type of business
- Encourage your consumers to like, check into, rate, and recommend your place
Only people who've checked-in to a business can rate it, which makes review fraud or other attempts to manipulate reviews harder. Foursquare is doing something similar, focusing on behavior rather than opinion.
The central notion and differentiator vs other local search providers is that your network will be the filter and you'll see places rated and Liked by your friends before the anonymous Facebook community. Yelp, Foursquare and Google do offer versions of this today.
Before today Nearby showed you who among your network had checked-in to local places. It will still show that activity but now also allow you to browse or conduct local searches to find restaurants, cafes, hotels and so on.
Nearby is currently a hard-to-find feature under the left-hand apps menu. I suspect that the Check-in tab in Facebook's mobile apps will also become a doorway into local search pretty quickly as well.
Facebook has been repeatedly criticized for not being "utilitarian." This new functionality is in fact highly utilitarian. However, I haven't yet used the app so I don't know how effective it is.
Facebook has always been a sleeping giant in local and it took a big first step with this new functionality in realizing some of that potential. This is just the beginning says Facebook. Indeed.
I'm curious about your thoughts and reactions to this . . . Will it have a major impact or will it be one of those splashy announcements that doesn't really affect the competitive balance in the marketplace?

The team talks about some recent developments in exoplanets science and the future of planet hunting. Some planets about M-dwarf stars may in fact be habitable. Would creatures evolving on the dark side of a habitable M-dwarf planet be able to develop technology? How long will itbe until we replace the artist's concepts with actual images of Earth-like exoworlds? Will telescopes on the lunar farside help?
In this episode we are trying a new protocol to keep from talking over each other. This led to one awkward pause at 37 minutes, but I think it was worth it. We'll keep refining this.

STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Sweden's Supreme Court said on Monday it rejected an appeal by WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to revoke a detention order over allegations of sexual assault.
The 43-year-old Australian has been stuck inside Ecuador's London embassy since June 2012 to avoid a British extradition to Sweden, which wants to question him on allegations of sexual assault, which he denies.
The court said in a statement that the prosecutors' decision to question Assange in London supported the decision to uphold the detention order.

It was the legal process that allowed William Hulbert to bring club owners together in a New York City hotel room in 1876 to form the National League, and ninety years later, it allowed Marvin Miller to change a management-funded fraternity of ballplayers into the strongest trade union in America.But how does collective bargaining and labor arbitration work in the major leagues? Why is baseball exempt from the antitrust laws? In Legal Bases, Roger Abrams has assembled an all-star baseball law team whose stories illuminate the sometimes uproarious, sometimes ignominious relationship between law and baseball that has made the business of baseball a truly American institution.

Photo by Michelle Bodamer
[Editor's note] I'm digging up (pardon the awful pun) our Garden Variety series which has been on the back-burner since late April of this year and starting anew, kicking things off again with photographer and marketing professional Michelle Bodamer's beautiful garden. You can also catch Michelle's writings over on the art + community blog Handmade in PA.
Read on as Michelle shares photos and the story about how her garden came to be.
I've always marveled at gardeners and often wished I could become one myself. Every spring I would think about learning how to start a garden but I never made the time.
When my grandmother passed away this past January I decided it was time to change my perspective and finally learn about growing flowers and vegetables. I discovered that it finally seemed possible and was more attainable than I originally thought! As someone who loves the outdoors I felt that taking the time to connect with nature through gardening would help me with the loss of my grandmother. The garden is brand new and it is our first year attempting to grow our own vegetables. My husband and I came up with a plan for the raised beds and I remember laughing as we rushed to finish them one early spring Saturday afternoon before a thunderstorm.
I'm excited to share that so far this summer the garden has been amazing. My favorite time of the day is either first thing in the morning or right at sunset when the plants are bathed in breathtaking golden sunlight. We planned the garden for a small piece of land to the side of our home. This small space is a quiet spot between our property and our neighbors. As a photographer, I felt it was ideal for the eastern morning sunlight it would receive and the small glimpse of sunset from the west at the end of the day which makes the garden a fun subject for photographs. I can even enjoy the beauty of the garden from my kitchen window.
Additionally, there are rewards I never could have expected from starting this project. Fragrant cut roses, flowers, and fresh picked vegetables feel like such an indulgence. Neighbors have come over with their children to check on the progress of our plants which has been a great conversation starter. We've enjoyed adding the vegetables to our meals and we feel that the garden is a bit of a secret place tucked away that we can enjoy at any time. We find happiness in tending to the plants and have learned so much in just a few short months. Our garden is currently growing cucumbers, tomatoes, flowers, watermelon, and hopefully pumpkins for autumn. The inspiration and happiness the garden has brought to my family has been immeasurable.
A big thanks to Michelle for sharing her garden with us. Be sure to visit Michelle's blog where she's been chronicling the growth of her garden.

If you are a man and if you chose to buy propecia from an online pharmacy then it is definitely a wise decision. Buyers of this drug online would be poured with many benefits. The competition among the mail order pharmacies are very much high so they handle best practices to stay in the market.
So, what would they do to stay in the business? They would do all positive factors that a customer likes and make them to ultimately choose their site. When you feel that you are valued then it is obvious that you would buy the Propecia medication online. Suppose a mail order pharmacy does not make you feel special then you would go to the next site. An online pharmacy does not want this to happen hence they would provide you with special programs to get Propecia.
- They would offer you with free shipping charge if you are a first customer or if you have ordered Propecia with a certain amount. In this way, they can get a new customer as well as sustain their old customers. The advantage totally lies in you. If the shipment charge is added especially if you have placed an order in an online pharmacy that is located far away from your home then it is sure that you would be paying extra money which makes Propecia to be very expensive. But, now you pay only for the medication.
- Discount programs are one such that is followed by many online pharmacies. Already the price of Propecia would be very low but when you get discounts, you can't even imagine how many dollars that you would be saving. In this case, even if the shipment charge is high, it would tally with Propecia cost enabling you to spend less.
- Rewards programs would also be the best option. There are many legitimate online pharmacies that remain unnoticed. So, if you suggest the site to another man, when you buy your Propeciapills online you would get rewards. When you collect more reward points, you can save a lot of money.
- When ordering Propecia medication in bulk, there are chances that you would be given with extra pills. In some cases, they would give the whole package of Propecia for free and this is only when you are regular customer of the site and have crossed certain order limit.
If you are not aware on what special programs that you are eligible to utilize,you can call to the customer care and ask them order read this article https://canadianpharmacyonline.org/picking-legitimate-online-pharmacy-buy-propecia/. If you are the first time user of particular mail order pharmacy then ask them on how you can be benefitted. A customer care team that belongs to the legitimate online pharmacy would be happy to tell you and sometimes they might send you a mail about it in detail.
There are many such special programs for Propecia that is offered by a reputable mail order pharmacy. It is very near to you and it can be reached very easily. It is you who have to decide whether to get benefited from it or waste this opportunity.

No. 3-seeded Texas sweeps No. 14 seed Florida in regional semifinal
AUSTIN, Texas -- Junior outside hitter Bailey Webster led No. 3-seeded Texas with 15 kills in its 3-0 sweep of No. 14-seed Florida (25-22, 26-24, 25-17) on Friday in a Round 3 matchup. With this win in front of 3,839 fans at Gregory Gym, the Longhorns (26-4) log their seventh-consecutive regional semifinal victory and advance to a quarterfinal match against USC.
Webster connected on 15 of 29 swings with three errors for a .414 clip in this match. She also added three digs and two blocks. In three postseason matches, Webster leads the Longhorns with 47 total kills.
Sophomore outside hitter Haley Eckerman earned nine kills, five digs and three blocks, while senior utility Sha'Dare McNeal had eight kills on 15 attempts with no errors for a .533 hitting percentage. McNeal also posted two assists, seven digs and four blocks. Junior setter Hannah Allison added three kills, 32 assists, two service aces and eight digs.
Florida (27-5) was led by Chloe Mann with 14 kills on 22 attempts with three errors for a .500 clip. Mann also registered two digs and three blocks.
Down 13-10 in the first set, Texas launched a 7-1 run that was highlighted by two service aces from freshman libero Kat Brooks. The Gators kept it close, but UT secured the set with two consecutive kills from Webster, who posted five kills in the set. Sophomore middle blocker/outside hitter Khat Bell, who earned three kills and one service ace in the set, registered four of Texas' first seven points in set one.
The second set began with three consecutive points for the Gators, but proved to be close throughout with 15 tied scores and five lead changes. A late 4-0 run gave the Gators a 20-17 lead, but the Horns responded with 5-2 run of their own, which featured three kills from Webster, to tie the set at 22. Texas put the set away with four unanswered points, including a kill from Eckerman at set point.
Leading 7-6 in the third, momentum swung in Texas' favor as it launched a 9-2 run that was punctuated by four kills from Webster. A stretch of five unanswered points put UT up 22-11 and gave the Horns their largest margin of the match at 11. Despite a late 5-1 run from the Gators, Texas closed the match with kills from Eckerman and Webster. The Horns earned a .400 team hitting percentage in the third.

COD( polycystic ovarian disease) is one of the commonest causes of infertility. Patients have multiple small cysts in their ovaries that occur when the regular changes of a normal menstrual cycle are disrupted. The ovary is enlarged and it produces excessive amounts of androgen and estrogenic hormones.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), also called hyperandrogenic anovulation (HA),or Stein–Leventhal syndrome,is a set of symptoms due to a hormone imbalance in women.Signs and symptoms of PCOS include irregular or no menstrual periods, heavy periods, excess body and facial hair, acne, pelvic pain, trouble getting pregnant, and patches of thick, darker, velvety skin.Associated conditions include type 2 diabetes, obesity, obstructive sleep apnea, heart disease, mood disorders, and endometrial cancer.PCOS is due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors.Risk factors include obesity, not enough physical exercise, and a family history of someone with the condition. Diagnosis is based on two of the following three findings: no ovulation, high androgen levels, and ovarian cysts. Cysts may be detectable by ultrasound. Other conditions that produce similar symptoms include adrenal hyperplasia, hypothyroidism, and hyperprolactinemia.PCOS has no cure.Treatment may involve lifestyle changes such as weight loss and exercise. Birth control pills may help with improving the regularity of periods, excess hair, and acne. Metformin and anti-androgens may also help. Other typical acne treatments and hair removal techniques may be used.Efforts to improve fertility include weight loss, clomiphene, or metformin. In vitro fertilization is used by some in whom other measures are not effective.PCOS is the most common endocrine disorder among women between the ages of 18 and 44.It affects approximately 5% to 10% of this age group.It is one of the leading causes of poor fertility.
Not everyone with PCOS has polycystic ovaries (PCO), nor does everyone with ovarian cysts have PCOS although a pelvic ultrasound is a major diagnostic tool, it is not the only one.The diagnosis is straightforward using the Rotterdam criteria, even when the syndrome is associated with a wide range of symptoms.
The primary treatments for PCOS include: lifestyle changes, medications and surgery.
Where PCOS is associated with overweight or obesity, successful weight loss is the most effective method of restoring normal ovulation/menstruation, but many women find it very difficult to achieve and sustain significant weight loss.
Medications for PCOS include oral contraceptives and metformin. The oral contraceptives increase sex hormone binding globulin production, which increases binding of free testosterone. This reduces the symptoms of hirsutism caused by high testosterone and regulates return to normal menstrual periods. Metformin is a drug commonly used in type 2 diabetes to reduce insulin resistance, and is used to treat insulin resistance seen in PCOS. In many cases, metformin also supports ovarian function and return to normal ovulation.
Not all women with PCOS have difficulty becoming pregnant. For those that do, anovulation or infrequent ovulation is a common cause. Other factors include changed levels of gonadotropins, hyperandrogenemia and hyperinsulinemia Like women without PCOS, women with PCOS that are ovulating may be infertile due to other causes, such as tubal blockages due to a history of sexually transmitted diseases.
For women not responsive to clomiphene and diet and lifestyle modification, there are options available including assisted reproductive technology procedures such as controlled ovarian hyperstimulation with follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) injections followed by in vitro fertilisation (IVF).
Though surgery is not commonly performed, the polycystic ovaries can be treated with a laparoscopic procedure called "ovarian drilling" (puncture of 4–10 small follicles with electrocautery, laser, or biopsy needles), which often results in either resumption of spontaneous ovulations[65] or ovulations after adjuvant treatment with clomiphene or FSH.

Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwariya Rai in the opulent Bollywood tearjerker Devdas, Wednesday night at Cinémathèque Québécoise
Devdas (2002) was the first mainstream Indian film to be invited to the Cannes Film Festival. Though it is based on a novel written in 1917, the film is set in Calcutta in the 1930s. (And the novel was really a retelling of the story of Krishna, Radha, and Meera, from Hindu mythology.)
Shah Rukh Khan plays Devdas Mukherjee, the spoiled son of a very rich family, and Aishwariya Rai plays his neighbour Parvati, Paro for short. She has been his best friend since they were children. One day, they realize that they are in love. But life is not a fairy tale and so we must have some. obstacles…these are mostly time, distance and mom and dad. Guess which ones are the worst?
First, Devdas is sent far away to Oxford, to become a proper gentleman.
Paro vows to wait. Finally, after 10 years (did he get a Ph.D?) he comes home, wearing fancy Western duds, no less. Devdas and Paro want to marry, but his family does not approve.
Which allows us to meet some more characters, Jackie Shroff, who plays Chunnilal, a drinking buddy and friend of Devdas, and Madhuri Dixit, who plays the "courtesan" Chandramukhi, who does her best to make Devdas feel better. But maybe he would rather drink and be miserable?
Dancing is not just for the ladies. Shah Rukh Khan and Jackie Shroff dance while pretending to be drunk. Hey, if Jackie Chan can do it. . .
Madhuri Dixit, left, and Aishwariya Rai.
Besides the tragic love story, the famous actors, and the expected songs and dances, Devdas offers unbelievably sumptuous sets and beautiful, ornate clothes. When I see some of the shoes that actresses wear on red-carpets, I'm amazed that they can smile. Well, in Devdas, Madhuri Dixit smiles and dances (!) in costumes that weighed up to 60 kg. She probably needed some physiotherapy after that.
Madhuri Dixit dances in Devdas. I believe that she's wearing the famous 30 kg dress in this photo.
I watched several videos to get illustrations for this post and I was blown away by the opulence of it all. And while I know that actors are paid to smile like they mean it, everyone seems to be enjoying the dance sequences a LOT.
Just one of many sumptuous interiors in Devdas.
I saw Devdas many years ago, but I don't remember enough details about the plot to describe it without quoting other reviewers. I DO seem to recall this: Devdas did more than his share of mean and cruel things. He wasn't Mr. Nice Guy to begin with, being so rich and spoiled and all, but bitterness and the demon drink made him much worse.
Richard Corliss of Time Magazine wrote this from the 2002 Cannes Film Festival, where Devdas had its world premiere: "Devdas, Saratchandra Chattopadhyay's 1917 novel, has been filmed at least three times before, but surely never with such opulence as director Sanjay Leela Bhansali has lavished on the new version. Reportedly the most expensive production in Indian history, it could well be the most visually ravishing movie ever. Its gorgeous, gargantuan sets inebriate the eye, even as the plot (boy loves girl, boy loses girl, boy dies) seems drunk on luscious masochism. Khan, a total, tragic charmer in the title role, is bookended by two beauties (Madhuri Dixit and former Miss World Aishwarya Rai) with a sad wisdom to match their screen charisma. The dialogue is ripe enough to provide song cues for nine fabulous dance numbers. But the fervid emotion and visual chic are what make the thing sing. In just his third feature, Bhansali seems a young master of the medium."
(At the beginning of the article, Corliss calls Shah Rukh Khan an "Indian mega-muffin.")
Bruce Kirkland at Jam! Movies writes: "Devdas is played out as a surreal dreamscape where people live in shimmering glass palaces and even the courtesan's brothel is a fantastic place of vaulted ceilings, sparkling lights and billowing curtains. Opulence rules. So does emotion. Pack a lunch and have an experience because Bollywood beckons."
(Take Kirkland's "pack a lunch advice metaphorically – the Cinémathèque does not allow eating and drinking during its presentations.)
In a 2002 interview with The Times of India, director Sanjay Leela Bhansali, commented on Devdas being invited to Cannes: "It's not about universal sentiments designed to cut across the world. My film's sentiments and emotions are very peculiar and specific to a certain part of our culture and period in history. The songs, dances, costumes, performances and sets all reveal a culture that existed 100 years ago. And if we were proud of what we were, we would have continued to exist in that atmosphere of aggravated lyricism."
". . . I think our cinema is being appreciated for its melodramatic warmth. Even in the West, people are now eager to express themselves more openly. They aren't abashed by open expressions of emotions. Indian films exude a lot of warmth. At a time when the world is clogged with bitterness it's reassuring to experience a cinema where the smallest of emotions matter."
"Also, Indian cinema is celebratory in mood. There's a song for every occasion. That's again a novel experience for western viewers."
Devdas, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Madhuri Dixit, Aishwarya Rai, Jackie Shroff, 35 mm, 183 minutes long, in Hindi and Urdu with English subtitles, Wednesday, Jan. 23, 2012, at 8:30, Cinémathèque Québécoise, 335 de Maisonneuve Blvd. E. (metro Berri-UQAM)
(All photos taken from videos posted to YouTube by erosentertainment.com
I think it's better to watch videos from the film rather than the "official trailer," because Shah Rukh Khan seems kind of whiny in the trailer.)

As of 2015, GreenDot no longer uses the MoneyPak system for adding funds to its prepaid cards. The company sells prepaid debit cards in participating retail stores for $4.95 or less, according to Green Dot. Free cards are also available by request at the Green Dot website.Continue Reading
Green Dot prepaid debit cards are valid for ATM withdrawals, and online retailers accept them for everyday purchases, according to the company website. In addition, ATM transactions are free at any MoneyPass machines. Since the company doesnメt charge overdraft fees or require credit approval, its prepaid cards are useful for people who value the convenience of electronic payment methods but need an alternative to bank-issued debit cards and credit cards. Registering for an account also gives cardholders the flexibility of using online bill-payment services.
Cardholders can set up direct deposit for a fast, recurrent funding method or ask cashiers to reload the cards at participating stores, as Green Dot explains. Paychecks, Social Security and veteransメ benefits are valid sources for direct deposit funding. The service also allows ACH transfers from bank accounts and transfers between cardholder accounts. Generally, account balances are capped at $2,500, but the company may approve larger balances for customers with direct deposit. When reloading cards in stores, customers can only add up to $500 at once.Learn more about Credit & Lending

A few months ago, Vice Chancellor J. Travis Laster issued an interesting decision involving director inspection rights and the attorney-client privilege. Kalisman v. Friedman, 2013 Del. Ch. LEXIS 100 (April 17, 2013). Previously, I had posted on two California cases dealing with this issue. See When is a Director's Inspection Right Not Absolute? and Defining The Metes And Bounds Of A Director's Absolute Right To Inspect.
Kalisman involved the efforts of a corporation to deny one of its directors access to information based on an assertion of the attorney-client privilege. In analyzing this claim, Vice Chancellor Laster described the director as a "joint client of the subpoenaed law firms". According to the decision, joint clients under Delaware law may not assert the privilege against one another. If California law were applied, I'm not certain that the same analysis would apply.
Under California law, a corporation is a person. Cal. Evid. Code § 175. A corporation's confidential communications with its attorney are protected by the attorney-client privilege. D.I. Chadbourne, Inc. v. Superior Court 60 Cal.2d 723, 732 (1964). Moreover, the attorney's duty of loyalty is to the corporate entity: "In representing an organization, a member shall conform his or her representation to the concept that the client is the organization itself, acting through its highest authorized officer, employee, body, or constituent overseeing the particular engagement." Cal. Rules Prof. Conduct, Rule 3-600(A). Thus, it seems to me that if California law were applied, the decision to assert the privilege would rest with a majority of the board or committee overseeing the engagement.
The fact that a majority of a board or a committee has the power to assert or waive the privilege does not answer the question of whether the assertion of the privilege defeats a director's "absolute" right of inspection under Corporations Code Section 1602. In Wolf v. CDS Devco, 185 Cal.App.4th 903 (2010), the Fourth District Court of Appeal observed that a director could be denied the right to inspect corporate documents based on the director's "potential adversary status to [the corporation]," as illustrated by the inspection request. See also Tritek Telecom, Inc. v. Superior Court, 169 Cal. App. 4th 1385 (2009) (Director who makes inspection demand after filing a shareholder suit against the corporation has no right of inspection of attorney-client privileged documents generated in defense of the shareholder lawsuit.) In an unpublished opinion, the First District Court of Appeal rejected this limitation as "erroneous dicta" because "the [Wolf] court was discussing a former director's lack of standing to inspect corporate documents, which made the director's potentially adversarial posture irrelevant." Quinn v. Aechelon Technology, 2011 Cal. App. Unpub. LEXIS 3024 (April 25, 2011).
If you are representing a Delaware corporation or director of a Delaware corporation, should you be concerned about California law? The answer is yes if the corporation either has its principal exectuive office in California or customarily holds meetings of its board in California. Cal. Corp. Code § 1602. See Havlicek v. Coast-to-Coast Analytic Servs., Inc., 39 Cal. App. 4th 1844 (1995) and my article, Court of Appeal Applies California Inspection Rights to Delaware Corporation, 17 CEB Cal. Bus. L. Rep. 168 (1996).
Another interesting question is what attorney-client privilege are we talking about in these cases? States define and apply the attorney-client privilege differently. If a director of a Delaware corporation asserts her right to inspect under California Corporations Code Section 1602 and the corporation asserts the privilege, is it the privilege as defined by California or Delaware?

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Feb. 5, 2014) - Throughout the winter, and particularly after a storm, it's important to check natural gas meters, pressure regulators and appliance exhaust vents to ensure they are clear of snow and ice. Doing so also makes the meter accessible for safety reasons.
"Snow or ice buildup could damage a natural gas meter or regulator, interrupt natural gas service or cause an appliance to malfunction," says John Oakley, Vice President, Enbridge Gas Distribution. "This can create a serious safety hazard."
If a meter, regulator or external vents are covered with snow or ice, carefully remove the snow with either a car brush or broom. Do not use sharp objects or force, such as kicking or hitting, to remove the snow or ice as this can cause damage.
Enbridge Gas Distribution encourages customers to take these additional safety precautions:
If you have a seasonal property, or are away on vacation, make sure that someone is checking in on your property.
Call Enbridge Gas Distribution for assistance at 1-877-ENBRIDGE (362-7434) if snow or ice buildup on natural gas meters or regulators cannot be gently removed with a broom or car brush.
If you need assistance to clear a blocked appliance vent, you should contact a licensed contractor. If you do not have one, please visit EnbridgeGas.com/FindContractor.
For more information on snow and ice safety please visit EnbridgeGas.com/safetytips or to watch quick safety videos visit SixSecondSafety.com
