'Zero problems' after leg surgery - Webber
- Drivers:
- Mark Webber
- Teams:
- Red Bull
Mark Webber says he felt better driving a Formula One car than he thought he would after undergoing his final leg surgery over the winter for a break dating back to 2008.
Webber suffered a serious break while taking part in his Tasmania Challenge during the close season between 2008 and 2009. He has driven each season since then regardless, but it was only this winter that he finally had a metal rod removed from his leg.
He had to take some time out of his winter training schedule after the final surgery but he said in Jerez last week that he would be in peak physical shape by the start of the season.
"[I felt] really comfortable, the leg is no problem at all," he said after his first run in the new Red Bull. "I'm probably a little bit behind on condition, but not by much. I'll be ready to go in Melbourne, I'm completely on target for that. I felt better in the car than I thought I would.
"I was in the car for a long period, about two and half hours at one point, so it was a little stiff but that's normal. It will be fine and when the adrenaline is going there will be zero problems."
He said the leg never changed his approach to racing but that it was at the back of his mind in his free time.
"It never affected me when I was racing," he added. "It affected me when I was doing other sports such as water skiing and mountain biking because I knew it was not going to be beneficial to re-brake my leg with a rod in there. Now I have it out I'm not going to be crazy but it's a little bit of peace of mind from a recreational point of view. Also the mind is a great thing because I won't forget the pain I had when I broke my leg so I'm actually getting a bit wiser as I get older, believe it or not."

She's NBC nightly news anchor Brian William's daughter
SMH!!! They are considering the black guy from Chronicle for the Human Torch..
Interesting choice, though if he did get the part, then it's unlikely Williams would be cast as his sister -- or vice-versa. But it's good that they're open to different options rather than defaulting to white.
I had to look up "SMH," but apparently means "shake my head" as if in disapproval. I don't see any reason to object to Jordan being considered. He was good in Chronicle, and he has the right kind of charisma and attitude for Johnny.
It could still work if he was her adopted brother in this new incarnation, IMO. It could even wind up making them even closer as siblings than in the previous movies if one was over-protective of the other because of the adoptive status.
Agreed. I really hope they go with him.
Yes Shaking my head lol!! Jordan was excellent in Chronicle and I don't mind some changes here or there, but the Torch is white! How about a white guy for the Black Panther lol?? I cant think of any alternate story's that featured him as a black guy as far as I remember!
Seriously? That's what this is about?! Where have you been for the past few decades? We've had Billy Dee Williams as Harvey Dent. We've had Michael Clarke Duncan as Kingpin. We've had Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury. We've had Bill Duke as Bolivar Trask. We've had Dania Ramirez as Callisto. We've had Sam J. Jones as Pete Ross (not to mention the half-Chinese Kristin Kreuk as Lana Lang). We're about to have Laurence Fishburne as Perry White. It's not the 1960s anymore, so get the hell over it.
We even had a black Alicia Masters in the last FF movies!
Actually I don't need to get "the hell over it" lol!!! Thanks for reminding me about these secondary characters that were changed for film! Sam Jackson was the model they chose for Marvels Ultimate Universe and I like his Fury! Duncan's Kingpin was awful! Maybe they actually want him for H.E.R.B.I.E. that could work..lol
I love Kerry Washington, she is hot!!!
All the comic fanboys are already whining about this news!
Whoever they pick to be Johnny, they will have a tough time doing better than Chris Evans.
Oh, good catch. Can't believe I forgot her.
And of course Black Panther is the hereditary monarch of a sub-Saharan African kingdom, so there's a specific reason for his ethnicity. There's absolutely no reason why Johnny Storm or Kingpin or any of the others have to be white. Sure, that's the way it was originally done, but then, Sue Storm was originally weak and passive and the men were condescending to her, because that's how women were seen in the '60s. Should we be slavishly faithful to that as well? The good thing about modern adaptations is that they're reinventions, so they can correct the mistakes and avoid the prejudices of the original works.
He was really the only thing I liked about the movies, with Michael Chiklis a close 2nd!!
Evans never worked for me as Johnny. He's a really good Captain America, but I didn't like him in the FF movies. I liked Chiklis, though, and I think Gruffudd could've been a very good Reed if he'd had better material.
Evans and Chiklis were my favorites.
Gruffudd was okay.
Alba and the guy that played Doom were completely miscast.
I haven't seen Chronicle so I can't comment on this guy's acting chops. In my own little narrow minded world (and as a huge FF fan) I literally want to see the characters from the comics made flesh (I wasn't sold on ANY of the casting choices of the previous FF movies. but I am all for getting the best actor for the part and if the rumblings I hear about his talent are correct, Jordon could knock this one out of the park.
No argument there whatsoever. Alba seemed to be cast based exclusively on how good she looked in her underwear (which is pretty much the extent of her qualifications as an actress). Maybe that would've been okay for Sue as she was portrayed in the early '60s, but the modern Susan Storm-Richards is just so much more than that -- a gifted superheroine, a superb mother, the heart and soul of the Fantastic Four, an intergalactic diplomat of great renown, etc.
I'd kind of like to see Fringe's Anna Torv as Sue. She has the combination of strength, intelligence, dignity, and warmth that the character needs. Let's not do another origin story with a young Reed and Sue -- let's see the team already established as the royal family of the Marvel Universe, with Reed and Sue as accomplished, globally important figures balancing their responsibilities to the world and the universe with their efforts to raise the two most gifted children on the planet.
Oooh. I like Anna Torv as Sue. Good call!
I have no problem with this if it happens, but I think the key word in the article is that they're considering Jordan for the role. I think what we can obviously take from this and the Allison Williams rumour is that they're finally holding auditions right now. This is exciting
Jessica Alba was the "It" actress at the time she was cast in "Fantastic Four" IIRC, and she wasn't horrible in the role, but I would argue that she wasn't the ideal Sue Storm either. My pick for the remake has always been Alice Eve and this is before her recent blockbusters "MIB III" and "Star Trek: Into Darkness".
I'm still waiting for the announcement that roles like the Black Panther and Luke Cage have been given to a white actor because he had superior acting ability and was better suited for the part.
^^ In the past, Asian characters like Charlie Chan were portrayed by White actors, a practice that is now considered racist-- by the same political demographic that wants historically White characters to become "Black Like Me."
I have no patience with the trend of re-casting White characters as Black or Asian or female or whatever. It's not just politically correct, it's condescending. Women and minorities are not second-class citizens. The powers that be should be adding diversity to their fictional universe, not making shallow cosmetic changes.

After reviewing all the presentations from companies bidding to become Ocean City's next advertising agency, the resort essentially went with the status quo, although it will cost more than it ever has before.
This week's decision will mean the same agency and campaign will be used next year to market Ocean City to prospective visitors. To some, particularly the majority of the City Council, that's good news. To others, at least those in the minority on the council, it's not something to be pleased about.
Ever since the town drafted the detailed Request for Proposal for a new advertising agency, some have alleged the process was skewed and weighted toward the incumbent agency, MGH Advertising of Maryland. Little evidence, other than pure opinions, has been put forward to prove that as a reality. However, it was not a surprise that Ocean City stayed with MGH, but it's also justified and grounded in reasonable discretion as far as we can tell.
Although this was not all about price, it's important to realize MGH came in with the lowest quote of $275,496, significantly cheaper than other agencies after all things were considered. After hearing the presentations and examining the merits of each company, the town ranked the various agencies bidding for the job based on technical and creative abilities as well as price. MGH ranked at the top of both lists.
Gauging the success or failure of an advertising campaign is tricky business. Surely, all do not love MGH and the current Rodney advertising campaign, which features a lifeguard rescuing people in metropolitan areas and reminding them they deserve and need to take a vacation, among other concepts, with Ocean City as that destination.
We were not overly impressed by this latest effort nor the stick-figure campaign previously, but we do like that it was targeted at new regions and was seeking to bring new business to Ocean City. We also think it's clever to set up a lifeguard stand at busy intersections in metropolitan areas and to give away free stuff as reminders of our beach town. In contrast, some think it's more desperate than effective. It may be just that, but we see no problems with thinking a bit outside the box.
At a time when disposable income is tight for most, there's nothing wrong with resorting to whatever means necessary to keep a vacation destination in people's minds. That's the goal and creativity is needed at this time.
The fact of the matter here is all MGH won was a one-year contract to basically continue what it's been doing. What Ocean City scored was stability. Tourism folks know what they will get with MGH. They have been working with the company for years and feel comfortable with the relationship. Other advertising companies had a chance to win Ocean City over, but they were unsuccessful, and most who sat through the presentations – from elected, appointed and volunteer capacities – felt MGH was the clear winner.

Also, its not his elbow, rather his hand clenches up randomly every now and then. He was trying to shoot through it, and that may be that weird adjustment he always makes when he shoots. Many of us noticed the 'hitch' in his shot.

Tottenham made it three Premier League wins in a row as they dismantled a stubborn Fulham team at Craven Cottage on Saturday afternoon to pull the north London outfit level on points with Chelsea after their loss to West Ham in the day's early kick off
Sandro and Jermain Defoe were the matchwinners for Andre Villas-Boas' side as a hopeful 35-yard strike from the midfielder found its way past Mark Schwarzer, before the 30-year-old striker tapped home Gylfi Sigurdsson's excellent assist, and raced onto Clint Dempsey's through ball to slide home his second of the game.
Perhaps the biggest talking point of a slow, cautious first period was Gareth Bale's yellow card for diving as he theatrically tumbled after dribbling past Steve Sidwell.
That aside, the away team created the first genuine chance of the game, as Dempsey – roundly booed on his return to Craven Cottage – spun his marker and sidestepped a second challenge on the edge of the box, before curling his left-foot shot just wide of Mark Schwarzer's post.
The hosts carried a threat down the right flank and Ashkan Dejagah delivered a dangerous cross that fell to Kerim Frei who should have at least tested Hugo Lloris from the edge of the box, instead firing well over.
Fulham's best opportunity fell to Mladen Petric, but Lloris reacted sharply to parry and hold onto a close-range shot, denying the Croatian his fifth goal of the season.
After Sascha Riether was replaced by Stephen Kelly courtesy of injury, Petric again found himself in ample room on the edge of the Tottenham box to fire a shot high and wide. With Bale's shooting similarly wayward at the other end, after incisive work from Aaron Lennon, it rather painted the picture of a game lacking quality.
Neither manager made a change at the break and though the home fans were briefly lifted from their seats as Dimitar Berbatov continued his one man mission to inject a touch of class to proceedings, it was Sandro who broke the deadlock on the 56th minute.
The Brazilian collected the ball near the halfway line and after assessing his options, struck a powerful, if ambitious, 35-yard drive that deceived Schwarzer, who could only parry his effort into the side-netting of his goal.
Spurs began to find their rhythm and although a Bale run and shot from the left side of the penalty box forced Schwarzer into an alert stop at his near post, the Welshman grimaced and clutched his hamstring forcing Villas-Boas into a second change as Sigurdsson entered the play. It was the third injury-induced substitution of the match.
Fulham pushed forward, but found little joy and it was the Icelandic substitute who displayed exceptional trickery on the 72nd minute to glide past Philippe Senderos in the box and square for Defoe to sweep home and double the visitors' lead.
Barely five minutes later, Defoe had his second sight of goal as Dempsey weighted a clever through ball into his path. With only Schwarzer to beat, Defoe made no mistake, guiding the ball into the bottom-right corner to seal three points for Spurs.
The Cottagers mustered a couple of half-chances but Lloris dealt ably with the threat, most notably from a low Hugo Rodallega header, as Spurs saw out the game confidently. It was their sixth consecutive Premier League win over Fulham and although it was far from a classic, Villas-Boas has Spurs moving in the right direction.

text: I am a stove junkie too, have several and depending on my day, which one I pack. My Jet Boil is HOT to cook with, meaning it burns food very quickly, even with my "scidplate defuzer" on it! Very convenient, however. My Peak1 is much more friendly, but gas is messy to deal with. I trend towards the better cooker this trip, messy gas and all "Peak1". At least it has better control over heating food items/dinner. My others are same as JB, HOT! May pack my Sterno, cheapie heat stove too. What ya'll cook with??? I eat more self meals nowadays, off one burner and find it rewarding, once mastered. ANY TIPS? Dry backpacker meals are NOT all created equal, but find the best ones and smile, quite good! Buying small quantity at grocers is not always easy, BUT butchers at the meat counter are friendly enough most often to take care of you. Chicken(cooked) is easy and makes good Ceasar Salad at camp. Gotta buy the salad in a bag, eat soon. Wrap cold items in a towel in saddlebag(insulate), lasts much longer to get to camp, stays cool. No ice cream. Costs? Not much better than restaurants but I am GSGiant, Off The beaten Path too often, need self food! Fish tooRandy

text: Message from Kerry Crabb, NSH Convention Chairman The NSH Symposium/Convention will be held as scheduled September 22 - 27 in Charlotte, NC. We acknowledge this is not the best time to be conducting a meeting. There is much sadness over what has happened in our country. Safety is on everyone's mind. Travel is a concern for all and will be difficult in the coming days and weeks as new concerns arise and safety restrictions are instituted. We have had many inquiries about the possibility of postponing or cancelling the meeting. Unfortunately, this is not an option for NSH unless the federal government requires meetings of this type be cancelled. There are many legal contract and financial obligations associated with meetings of our size. There are only a few things in contracts that allow a meeting to be cancelled without a huge financial responsibility on the cancelling party. Accepted cancellation reasons are Acts of God (weather), Fire, Domestic Violence (riots) and War. For NSH to cancel without becoming legally liable for ALL financial loss by the hotels and convention center the federal government would have to declare war and ask the public to cancel their meetings. The possibility of postponing the meeting does not work for us either. The availability of facilities (hotels and convention center) are not likely because they book meeting consecutively. NSH also has meetings scheduled through the year 2009 already. The logistics of postponing would create a nightmare for NSH. Rescheduling speakers, vendors and reregistering attendees would be so disruptive it would equate to cancelling and require starting the planning process all over again. Considering the circumstances in the United States today, we anticipate that some of those scheduled to come to the S/C will not be able to attend. There will be many though who will attend. Whether they fly, drive or take the train they plan on being there. For them, we will have the meeting as scheduled. For those who may not be able to attend or choose not to attend, we will miss you greatly and hope to see you at a future NSH S/C.

Arkansas Tech University has announced it will conduct four summer football camps on the Tech campus, according to head football coach and Athletic Director Steve Mullins.
Tech's first camp will be a Team 7-on-7 Camp from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, June 1. The cost is $200 per team. Teams that attend the camp will practice against other area teams in pass-skeleton drills, with the emphasis being on live pass repetitions and teaching, not competition. In addition, the teams will play games on Tech's Buerkle Field and the school's practice fields and will be officiated by Tech's football staff.
The second camp will be a one-day High School Team Camp, which will be held from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, June 2. The cost is $40 per athlete. The team camp will allow each team to receive valuable live repetitions against other schools and systems. The teams will practice in all phases of practicing including: inside drill, 1-on-1's, skeleton and scrimmages.
Tech's third camp is a Skills Camp and Combine, which will be held June 23 and will feature two sessions. The first session, which will run from 9 a.m. to noon, is for offensive skills players (quarterbacks, running backs, tight ends, fullbacks and wide receivers). The second session, which will run from 1:30 - 4:30 p.m., is for defensive skill players (inside linebackers, outside linebackers, cornerbacks and safeties). Cost is $50 per session, or $75 for both sessions. The Skills Camp and Combine will feature small group instruction from Tech's offensive and defensive position coaches, as well as, select local area high school coaches. Emphasis at the camp will be on individual technique. The camp is limited to the first 15 campers at each position.
The final camp of the summer is the 10th annual Lineman Camp, which includes offensive and defensive linemen, in addition to linebackers and tight ends. The Linemen Camp will be held June 24-27. Registration begins at 11 a.m. June 24 at the Hull Building on the Tech campus. The cost is $225 for overnight campers and $175 for commuters. The overnight campers will be provided breakfast, lunch and dinner on campus.
For more information on any of these four football camps, call the Tech Football Office at 968-0245 or contact Tech assistant coach and offensive coordinator Scott Preston at 968-0351, or check out the Tech athletics Web site at http://athletics.atu.edu for additional information.

I wish I could be there. The Humanist Film Festival is happening on 26-28 October, and they're looking for submissions. If you've got anything that fits their categories, send them in soon. They're looking for films that speak to humanist themes, including:
Reason, Critical Thinking and Skepticism (such as claims of the paranormal, critical thinking education, rational living, etc.)
Ethics and Human Wellbeing (including human rights, women's rights, gay rights, rational ethics, challenging scriptural ethics, sex education and attitudes about sex, etc.)
Science and the Natural World (e.g. science appreciation, science education, evolution, global warming, pseudo-science and pseudo-medicine etc.)
Freedom of Thought, Speech and Critical Inquiry
Challenging the Claims and Value of Religion (e.g. anti-apologetics, education about atheism and atheists, uncovering problems with religion, etc.)
Separation of Church and State
Joie de vivre and human thriving (art and aesthetics, living the good life, human progress etc.)
And here's their mission:
The Portland Humanist Film Festival is an outreach event designed to broaden the understanding and acceptance of a secular, humanist world view. It specifically addresses audiences who are friendly to our views but who are not necessarily familiar with atheism or humanistic ethics, or why we value reason and scientific thinking. The Film Festival presents these themes through an accessible, entertaining medium.
Got any suggestions? If you're a godless filmmaker, think about sending them something!

Katherine Heigl purchased this lavish colonial style home in 2007 and has now decided to sell the 3,690-square foot home for $2.6 million. Perhaps her decision comes as she's decided to spend more time with her country crooner husband Josh Kelley and their two kids at their home in Utah. So, does this mean Heigl is finally saying goodbye to Hollywood, or at least a residence there?
Check out the pictures, courtesy of Zillow, of the inside of Heigl's Los Feliz home.

Nature Is Speaking – Kevin Spacey is The Rainforest | Conservation International (CI)
23 March 2015
A big part of humanity separate themselves from nature. We live in an ego constructed environment; a destructive environment. Every thing we have, everything we are is because of nature. The rain forest plays a big, and equal, part as to the thriving existence of the western world. Yet we pillage it because we've turned the gift of living into a war for survival. To keep living on the scale of the grand ego we blithely destroy the very thing that is responsible for our oxygen, our medicine, our food, our lives; the rainforest.
We have come and we will eventually go. Nature does not need us. Nature will not miss us. Nature is speaking and we are not listening. Only it our final moments on earth we will see just how imperative it is for us to listen.
Take best way to take care of ourselves is to take care of nature.

All our food starts out as flowers. Our lives depend on flowers. Don't take flowers for granted. Nature doesn't need humans.
23 February 2015
Most of our lives are imbued with a frenetic energy. Our lives have become a to-do list but the one thing that's not on the to-do list is living your life. We over dramatise our existence and we have a general penchant for self-inflicted suffering.
Nature sees our individualism as a species insignificant. Realising we are a part of nature connects us with what is important, it is also what will ease our constant state of mental and physical suffering.

Old/New – Narrated by Patton Oswalt
18 February 2015
We are all Drew McHugh because we always need something new. What would your life be like if you didn't have to have the latest new? Yet we're living in a strange time when everything old is the best new thing to have. Maybe we should consider that any material thing could never measure human value.
What matters the most are the connections we form with people, not with things.
Nature Is Speaking – Harrison Ford is The Ocean | Conservation International (CI)
9 February 2015
"I give. They take. But I can always take back."
The planet does not belong to humans. We have done nothing to deserve it, yet our tragic sense of entitlement places us above nature; as if nature owes us something for being human. If we could just step out of our minds and into our bodies we will understand we are as much a part of nature as we are nature itself.
"They poison me and then they expect me to feed them."
Why are we so ignorant and insensitive towards nature? Daily we destroy nature. Our morning routine destroys nature. Being alive as a modern human is destroying nature. If nature were a person and it's highest priority is self preservation then it would get rid of human beings. Simple as that.
A Toy Love Story That Will Make You Cry
26 January 2015
In the age of information and constant communication we do not own our own attention. Headlines, feeds and notifications become the stories we read and inevitably they become the stories we tell.
A Toy Love Story That Will Make You Cry is an emotional reminder of the beauty and simplicity of a good story.
Its simplicity magnifies its meaning. Beautiful.

Alain Ducasse's restaurant at the Plaza Athénée has just re-opened. The Chef tells a more personal and radical story, following a path he initiated twenty-five years ago. He introduces a cuisine of naturality, that revolves around three key elements: fish, vegetables and cereals. A healthier, more sustainable and environmentally-conscious approach.
Nature Is Speaking – Penélope Cruz is Water | Conservation International (CI)
20 October 2014
Water is literally the lifeblood of this planet. It has been used and recycled for hundreds of millions, if not billions years. It is sacred. There are some humans that take it for granted.
Do you buy bottled water at ten thousand times the cost? What will your life be like when we wage wars over water? What, or whom, will you give up for water?
Nature is speaking, and we can hear her loud and clear. But we do not listen.

Without The Amazon The World Will Not Breathe
8 October 2014
Oil drilling in the Amazon rainforest may be spun as a story of building wealth for the Ecuadorian people; lifting them out of poverty into the western comforts that oil money can buy the Ecuadorian government.
Human Rights vs Economy
The reality is that the oil companies are incredibly skilled at convincing the profit hungry (and the blithely ignorant) to support their claim. Oil drilling in the Amazon will affect the livelihood of the Ecuadorian people, and eventually the whole world. As the Ecuadorian people say, "You cannot justify human rights abuses with economical arguments."
Trading Our Breath for a Profit
The Amazon rainforest is a sensitive ecosystem that supports the Ecuadorian people, because they have been taking care and respecting it for centuries.
Those of us not living in Ecuador think we remain affected. Many of us don't think of it at all. But we are blithely wrapped in our own crippling oil comforts until the lungs of the earth are no longer. We're trading our every breath for a profit we won't even see.
It's Not Too Late to Do Something
Citizens from all over the world can help. Go to AmazonWatch.org to learn how you can help protect the Amazon rainforest.

Apple's Spaceship Could Be The Greenest Building on the Planet
23 September 2014
News of the spaceship-like Apple headquarters is nothing new. The building was designed by Norman Foster and will reportedly cost $5 billion.
The Campus 2 (official name) will boast many earth friendly specs like being fully powered by renewable sources. The company's approach to the environment is laid out here.
Full article from The Verge: Apple CEO Tim Cook says new spaceship campus will be 'greenest building on the planet'
One particular feature the company mentions is natural ventilation and reminds us of termite ventilation, something the Swedes have been incorporating for decades.
We Are Dead Stars
12 September 2014
What Are We? Who Am I? Why Am I Here?
These existential questions in relation to our humanity has been around, in some form or another, since human intelligence developed. Philosophers, scientists and theologists alike have pondered and answered these questions many a time before, and they're often depicted at looking up at a starry night sky for answers.
We Are Dead Stars
NASA astronomer Dr. Michelle Thalle grants an interesting explanation as to where she thinks we come from (we all have different beliefs so her answer isn't the only answer). What stands out so powerfully is the notion we are all connected to everything. Our life energy is shared by every living thing on this planet.
Quite thought provoking.

How can you ensure you breathe forest-like fresh air every day? By having the air in your home, business or school filtered by plants.
How we have come to rely on artificial means to clean our air is dumbfounding. The answer doesn't matter. What matters is that we get into the habit of looking to nature for solutions.

Nobody questions any of those choices, but not wearing a helmet, or defending the "choice" not to wear one?
Maybe on the couch forums, the McDonalds forums, the drinking forums, etc.- they 're all saying "What IS it with these motorcyclist types driving our insurance rates & medical costs up?!?!"
Be The Change You Want To See In The World
Just recall, a recent campaign to educate school children on healthier food choices was considered to be a form of class warfare. The same goes for smokers............that's almost a political issue in many parts. If some one cries wolf and enough of his neighbors are too intimidated to just say "shut-up, you're being stupid", some politician will appear to defend the "constitutional" right to stupidity.
Sadly, some folks have no clue how stupid they are when they're claiming the constitutional right to stupidity......

Just trying to make the point that we cry foul over helmetless motorcyclists, yet think nothing of people making an entire lifestyle out of generally unhealthy habits.
If it were up to me, we'd each pay health insurance costs relative to our OWN lifestyle, our bloodwork results, our doctor bills/hospital receipts.
Unhealthy? Eat bad food? Don't exercise? Smoke cigarettes? Sick a lot? Pay out the nose.
Healthy? Work out often? Eat well? Walk a lot? Rarely get sick? Costs go down accordingly.

'You can say what you want about the South, but I almost never hear of anyone wanting to retire to the North.
Well you were the one talking about poor people, so I guess it was my perception that you were projecting your own views. But you were REALLY talking about the media reports on poor folks' bad health? Must a missed all that news somehow, myself. Guess you got that one up on me. Must be your access to that "elite" media reporting you seem so eager to share with us. I would never have realized that Marion, VA is so advanced as to even HAVE "elite" media- we just have plain old newspapers, and radio and TV stations. And again, I don't know Marion. Maybe every single citizen there is the absolute picture of health. But up here in good ol Pennsyltuckey, you don't need a radio, TV or newspaper to tell you that most of your neighbors are unhealthy. Nor do you need them to tell you it's pretty much universal, and not specific to any one "class" of people.
Be The Change You Want To See In The World
An interesting conversation, not sure how much it has to do with "riding"? However, I think you have missed the elephant in the room. I suggest that you give some serious thought to the fact that the "industrial food producers" are the main customers of the "chemical industry", as the chemical industry has found ways for the food industry to use chemical byproducts that would normally be costly to dispose of. These chemicals, and now add to that the GMOs, have been finding their way into our food supply for years now. Now add to the fact that our health care (or lack there of) industry has developed to be a profit focused industry that only makes it's money by treating sickness and doing "procedures" rather than working to keep people healthy. We as a country have been asleep at the switch while the huge corporate giants have been developing, with the help of our own governments, these industries that are making the upper 1% wealthy, while making the rest of us sick. What a great environment for the insurance companies to operate in. Now only the wealthy can afford insurance to be able to get the procedures and treatments to help them live a bit longer, while the poor, and increasingly the middle class, get sicker and die earlier. IMO, we need to support local organic agriculture, get our government to change over to single payer health care (like all other industrial nations) and hold the large farming industries and chemical companies accountable for the damage they are doing in the name of profit. Don't get me wrong, I'm all in favor of profit, but only when it provides an honest good or service!

Title: Dark Change
Word length: 353
Warnings: dark, I've been in a dark mood
Dealing with change was never something that Ron Weasley had been good at. Really, if you thought about it, people who felt that they had something to prove were never good at dealing with change, and Ron had always felt he had something to prove. He was the youngest of six brothers, with really no distinguishing characteristic to speak of. Bill was the cool one, Charlie was athletic, Percy was brainy, and the twins were brilliant jokesters. Even after Ron had gone to Hogwarts he was often in his best friend Harry Potters shadow. He knew that Harry was important and he didnt mind often being in his shadow, but every once in a while it grated on his nerves.
After the war was over, Ron felt he had even more to prove. He had Hermione by his side and every day he felt that he had to prove to her that he was good enough for her. Shed told him many times that he shouldnt think that way, but Ron couldnt help that. Every day he would try to do the same things that he had done all of his life. Things that he couldnt do for so long because of the wounds he had suffered during the last battle. Things that he still couldnt do because he no longer had the strength to do them. Try as he might, even something as simple as standing to take a shower were impossible, all because he had no legs left to stand on.
How many times had Hermione had to come to his rescue because he had tried to do something himself? How long was it going to be before he let go of the stubbornness and asked for help? How many more times would Ron have to try to prove to himself that he was still a man and fail miserably? How many times would Hermione tell him that he was still all the man she would ever need?
Ron Weasley had never been good about dealing with change, and he was sure that this particular change would end up killing him.

A good portion of my self-identity is tied up in the fact that I play games, particularly games on personal computers, which I recognize is somewhat strange but I'm hoping that this is the sort of audience which will readily accept such declarations. I can usually survive a family gathering outside of the healing radius projected by my machine (designation "Featureless"), but seated where I am now, hands directly on it, the bonuses to INT and CON are incalculable.
I could go on like this for a very long time but the truth is that something happened to my machine and the experience has been utterly paralytic. At random intervals - in any piece of software, at the desktop, wherever - blasts of sharp static fire from the headphones into my mind. This hellborne sound has a number of odd characteristics, the most noteworthy being that it is literally nauseating to hear it. I believe that there are police crowd control devices which produce a similar effect, though I would imagine that they are usually not worn directly on the head.
I can imagine an experiment by which one would break a person of their lifelong affection for computers, and it would be exactly like this in every way. I've been up most of the night trying to square this thing away, because we're talking about Domination, Freedom Force, and Republic Commando all basically this week. If you've got any ideas, and I hope that you do, please drop me a line at this dummy gmail account. My DxDiag dump is right here, if you're curious. I feel like the static is a physical thing by this point, an organism, waiting and then leaping.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The attorney for Michael Dunn, the man accused in the shooting death of 17-year-old Jordan Davis, isn't sure he'll have enough time to prepare his defense before a Sept. 23 trial date.
Lawyer Cory Strolla has made it clear the defense will claim Dunn fired into an SUV of teenagers in self-defense, and he feels the hours of video showing Dunn's initial questioning by detectives will support that claim.
Judge Suzanne Bass scheduled the trial during a hearing Tuesday morning. Dunn was not in court. Strolla filed two motions -- one claiming prosecutors are not cooperating in providing police and civilian witnesses for defense depositions, and the other asking for the release of five hours of surveillance video and audio from inside the Gate convenience store on the night of the shooting.
"We are asking for that video because we found out just yesterday there's actually audio on those cameras that recorded the shooting," Strolla said. "It also recorded people talking. The state only has about 15 minutes of the video. Meanwhile, police were on scene for more than an hour. So I want that video."
Video of Dunn's interrogation released Monday shows him giving his side of the story in the shooting death of Davis at a gas station that started in a dispute over loud music.19678036
Some of the things that stood out in Dunn's interrogation video were all the things he did after the shooting besides calling police. He ordered a pizza and spent the night in a Jacksonville hotel before driving back home to Brevard County. Investigators questioned him on those decisions.
"The problem, I can tell you where we start to kind of get a little wondering," police said to Dunn. "By the time you say you get to your hotel room, you call and order pizza. Why aren't you calling us?"
Dunn responded by saying, "I wanted to come back to my hometown to do that, and our dog and everybody were where they needed to be. I didn't want to bring a (expletive) storm down on them in Jacksonville."
Strolla said Dunn, in the interrogation video, comes across as honest and sincere.
"We'll be able to prove with expert testimony that there were no signs of deception on that video," he said. "I don't think the state can find a witness that can argue that he was not credible on that video."
As to what started the whole confrontation, Dunn said he nicely asked the SUV full of teens to turn the music down.
"Got out, she's in the store, and there's like an SUV next to us," Dunn told investigators. "And the music starts, and I roll down my window, and I thought I was polite. I asked them nicely. I asked, 'Would you mind turning that down?' They started. I was like, 'Thank you.' Cordial, everything's cordial. I put my window back up. I'm doing my stuff. I don't know how many kids are in that."
But Dunn said it didn't remain cordial. He said the music went back up, and then one of the teens started yelling, "Kill him." Dunn said he didn't know if they were singing to music or talking about him.
Defense lawyers for the teens say they were unarmed, but Dunn said he didn't know that.
"The fact that police say they didn't find a weapon, that's what they say, did the state do a thorough investigation, that's going to be decided at trial," Strolla said.
Dunn told investigators he was unsure if what he saw in the SUV was a shotgun barrel or a stick pointed at him.
"If you look at why he said it was a stick, it's because the officers kept saying, could have it been something else? We didn't find a weapon," Strolla said. "So Mr. Dunn said, 'It could have been, but I know what I saw.'"
Dunn said he reached for his gun and started shooting because he thought the teen was going to get out of the SUV. Dunn fired again as the SUV sped off through the parking lot.
"Quicker than a flash, I had a round chambered in it and I shot," Dunn said.
"Do you remember how many times you shot?" a detective asked.
"I shot four times and pull out, and in my mind they got a gun," Dunn said. "And so not training, I was still scared. And so I shot four more times."
"When you were fleeing?" the detective asked.
"Yeah, when their heads were down to not catch any return fire," Dunn said.
After the interview, detectives at the Brevard County Sheriff's Office told Dunn that he was going to be arrested and charged with murder and attempted murder.
Videos and audios of several witness interviews were also released.
The fiancee of a man who was using the restroom at the Gate gas station told detectives she heard gunfire and looked to see a middle-aged white man leaning out of a car with a silver handgun.
"I heard two loud bangs real quick, and then the car was speeding off," she said in a sworn statement to detectives. "And then there were another four or five after that, and he had the gun in his hand."
Witness statements from those who were in the SUV in which Davis was killed and from Dunn's girlfriend, who was in the store and spoke with Dunn as they were driving off, are included in the nearly 150 pages of documents that were released last week.
Strolla told the judge he needs six months to prepare for the murder trial that's supposed to last about a week. But the judge put the trial on the books for late September, a day Davis' family is looking forward to.
"The sooner the better," said John Phillips, the Davis family's attorney. "There are a lot of witnesses and there's a lot to do to prepare for a one-week trial."
Phillips said that in the civil case against Dunn, he'll file a claim of defamation on behalf of Davis' family because of Dunn's claim he saw a shotgun that was never found.
Dunn, 46, was denied bond and will remain in jail until his trial.
In court Tuesday, Dunn's attorney asked the state to pay for his legal fees because Dunn's only asset is a car that the state already seized.

Not sure if anyone can help, but I have my laptop running through my Roksan K2 amplifier. I have it connected via the headphone out on the laptop into 2 rca into my amplifier. When the laptop is plugged into the mains, I can hear a hum/buzz coming through the speakers, however, it doesn't do this when the laptop is running off the battery.
Just to make sure it wasn't the amplifier I connected the laptop into the inputs on my dvd recorder and could hear the buzz through the television where it was playing through the dvd recorder. The strange thing is that I tried it on my old Nad c340 amplifier in another room and it didn't seem to do it.
Can anyone help me with this problem? From what I can make out it must be the laptop.
Any help would be great.

The goals of our infant program are to foster the development of trust and to assist in the natural development of the young child's personality. We know that trust develops in an environment where people respond attentively to the infant's needs to be loved and accepted. In addition to needing love and nurturing, infants also thrive in an environment that promotes their strong, natural need and desire to learn.
How exactly do infants learn? Infants learn by touching and responding to gentle touch, and by moving freely as they interact with their surroundings. The freedom to move and explore is essential to any infant's development. Whether they are enthusiastically manipulating an interesting toy, quietly exploring the secrets of a mirror, scurrying about, or calmly enjoying a song, infants grow and learn emotional and intellectual independence through movement.
At Twin Parks Montessori Schools, we provide individualized learning activities that are appropriate for even the earliest stages of a child's development. Our materials are provocative yet simple, and each is carefully designed to appeal to children at a given level of early development. Our children flourish in carefully prepared, familiar environments that respect, support, and respond to their basic needs for independence, exploration, and movement. Materials are displayed on low, open shelves and on floor mats, all within easy reach of even the youngest child. A predictable sequence of activities and routines helps the infant feel very much at home.
During these first formative years, we never lose sight of the infant's need for individual care and attention. We know that through the quality of holding, feeding, and communicating, children acquire a strong and positive sense of self. While children are encouraged to be active, inquisitive learners, sensitive adults are always near to direct their exploration, to assist, or to gently comfort.
Communications, both verbal and non-verbal, are also a vital part of the infant program. So our infant class is a rich environment for developing language. The vocabulary of objects, activity, and feelings pervades every aspect of our program. Due to the fact that parents are the ones who best know their child's routine, personality, and unique comfort level, we strive to maintain a constant dialogue and close relationship with a child's family. In fact, our goal is to partner with families in shepherding the infant's total development.
Infants bring special joy and need special care as they go about their very important and unique work of physical, emotional, and cognitive development. Our job is to provide an atmosphere that communicates unconditional love and acceptance; in turn, our quality care permits you to feel secure as you attend to your own daily activities.
