The Wrath of the Ocean
The 2004 Phuket Tsunami
Written on: March 10, 2005
It was the day after Christmas 2004 and many were enjoying the holidays in beaches and various recreational areas in and out of the country. Millions were having their breakfast one lazy Sunday morning when the sea roared and made a surprise attack on different coastlines and beaches near the Indian Ocean in Asia. Among the places affected by this so-called Indian Ocean Tsunami were Phuket in Thailand and parts of Maldives and Sri Lanka. Thousands of families were affected as the raging sea took thousands of lives and destroyed millions to billions of dollars' worth of property and livelihood. While the tragedy could be traced back to a single natural cause, the calamity had caused many effects in various aspects of people's lives be it social, political, economic, moral or spiritual. Whatever had caused the said disaster, it surely had made a great change in the world.
Through the years, the existence of fault lines and tectonic plates under the ocean has been a constant threat to the people of these areas. These caused a number of earthquakes which began a series of events leading to greater calamities and disasters such as tsunamis, tidal waves, ship wreck and others. The low elevation of coastline areas had increased the vulnerability of the regions prone to these kinds of disasters.
The primary cause of the said tsunami calamity which swept across this part of the globe could be identified as the unpredicted shaking of the ocean floor kilometers off the coast of Indonesia. This cause, however, could be further traced back to its root cause—the uneven distribution of heat and molten material in the mantle, the layer of the interior of the earth that is between the crust and the core. Uneven distribution of heat caused the movement of molten magma beneath the earth in order to balance the temperature differences according to the rules of calorimetry, the field of Physics and Chemistry that deals with the transfer of heat in materials. The movement of the molted magma led to the movement of the ocean floor.
Those with some Physics background might recall the Law of Conservation of Mechanical Energy that states that the total mechanical energy in the universe is constant. A much more related statement of the said law is that energy can be transformed from one form to another but it can neither be created nor destroyed. Applying this principle, heat energy beneath the earth's crust was transformed to kinetic energy when the crust moved. Thereafter, this movement and the momentum was transferred from the ocean floor to the ocean above it which, in turn, transferred these in all directions causing sudden dryness of seashores followed by torrents of water smashing various infrastructures along the coastlines of unfortunate low-lying areas.
One would realize that most of these are, in fact, natural and uncontrollable factors. These calamities are caused either by the wrath of Mother Nature or by the hand of the Divine fulfilling a prophecy or a prediction. In fact, many related the Indian Ocean tsunami tragedy with the verse, Luke 21:25 which stated, "There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea." In support of this, some claimed that they had seen the moon red and the sky different the night before the sea roared and destroyed the lives of many.
The big disaster caused several misfortunes and ill effects to millions of individuals, families and groups. These ill effects, however, were balanced by several good and favorable effects which were coupled by an optimistic and good perspective used by some people is viewing the disastrous event. These effects can be classified into various aspects: economic, social and political, spiritual, moral and psychological, and physical.
Many might consider the economic effects of the tragedy to be the worst outcome of this event. Nevertheless, these might be considered the least of the major effects since it did not affect much the personality, behavior and values of affected people. As the coastline sea emptied itself of its water pulled by the great ocean and later returned by the ocean in a greater volume, men had seen one of the most beautiful yet most destructive events in their lives. They saw the beauty of the strong waves roaring against the shore, but they also saw the sea raging over the dry land, swallowing with its huge mouth the properties and livelihoods of millions. Many houses, hotels and other infrastructures were destroyed. In addition to these, anglers experienced greater difficulty since fishes began to be concentrated in some areas and exhibited different behavior due to the tsunami. Furthermore, they also had the fear of going to the sea to fish.
The tsunami also had its fair share of psychological, moral and spiritual effects. The experience of tourists and natives had made some feel that there were little movements of the ground even if there was none. In addition to this, the lost of properties and the destruction of livelihood had made the people's morale decline significantly. Many had begun to question God's power, His goodness and, most of all, His existence. On the other hand, others took this tragedy as a sign or a message from God who reminded them to return to Him. Some religions even went farther to the extent that they convinced themselves that their believers were not affected because they were correct in their faith. Others were confused and could not even understand how God could have caused such a murderous event to happen or why He had not stopped it from happening. While the morale and spirituality of some declined, those of others increased. The number of volunteers who helped the victims of the calamity through financial and physical means increased. Many organizations and persons donated financial aid and spent their time in helping rebuild what had been destroyed. Values were reoriented temporarily. The issues on Bush's "War on Terrorism" were temporarily set aside as countries, rich and poor, extended financial and humanitarian aid in the name of foreign relations and politics.
Perhaps the greatest effect of this calamity was the number of lives lost. Many children lost their families. Many groups lost their members. In short, many had lost their friends and relatives. This lost had decreased the world's population, but despite the fact that the world was then alarmed with its overpopulation, the world was also alarmed with the sudden deaths of many that could have solved its problem in overpopulation. Consequently, different religions overlapped as those deceased of one religion were buried by those of another.
The Indian Ocean Tsunami had become a great tragedy forever remembered by the people of the world as one of the tricks of death which came like a thief stealing in the night. This sudden surprise had caused millions to donate and cooperate with charitable institutions. This tragedy had opened opportunities for people to help others and to discover the real essence of life. This had opened avenues for people to experience the sense of fulfillment many had found in charity and in helping others. This tragedy, disastrous as it was, would forever be remembered as one of the tragedies that reunited the dividing world. Indeed, it would be written down in history as one of the events when the ocean showed furiously its wrath and anger.

text: I am looking for an external storage solution. I want it to be fast, as I intend to work of it, but at the same time I don't want to go bankrupt over it. I am not a professional, nor do I have any inspirations to be one. I just need a fast, reliable storage solution to work of. I have decided I want to have a Thunderbolt solution, as it is more reliable than USB on the latest Macbook Pro incarnations. At least on my rMBP. I want regular harddisks, not SSD as that will get to be too expensive for some decent storage size. I want to use RAID or similar to increase speed and have some protection for hardware failures. This is not a backup solution; backup has already been taken care of. I have considered the Drobo 5D, but it is not superfast - though arguably fast enough. I know it is a propriety solution, but so is every other RAID solution. It is easy to setup and maintain. I also looked at G-Tech Thunderbolt series, but they are 2 drive only. I could buy two and dasiy chain them, but OSX does not support RAID5. Using 4 drives in RAID0 is stupid fast, which is good, but there is also a 4x the risk of a drive failure. While my backups are good and such an even should not result in dataloss, it would be annoying and time consuming. Using RAID10 is an option, but a huge waste of space and hardly economical for home use. Ditto for the Lacie 2Big Thunderbolt series. The Pegasus R4/R6 are interesting and very fast, they are also very expensive. If one could buy the enclosure without drives, it would probably be a no-brainer, but alas. Does anyone here have any opinions, or suggestions on what to get?

Love the history behind the picture. I love Cornwall, hoping to get there later in the year.ReplyDelete
It was my first trip to Cornwall in 14 years and I loved it. I remember seeing about the floods on the news, as they happened 2 years after we were in the area. Thank goodness no-one was killed and the only loss was one poor dog. It could have been so much worse. The grocer's shop shows the water height at it's peak and it was at ceiling level.Delete
This is just up the road from us I love to see the lobster pots alongside the HarbourReplyDelete
Where are you? I must admit I always thought you were further in to Cornwall.Delete
Love lobster - your picture is making me hungry! Love hte texture and colours on the pots.ReplyDelete
That is what caught my eye too.Delete
It's pleasing to hear that a small industry is thriving in this town; fishing ports are so interesting and fun places to take photos.ReplyDelete
My thoughts too. It was so pretty and I took loads of photos.Delete
I love the different textures and the story behind the photo.
Thank you for linking up
Thank you, Darren.Delete
Love Boscastle it's wonderful how it has worked hard and got itself back #MySundayPhotoReplyDelete
I remember the floods and it shows what a strong community can do to rebuild itself even after such a a tragedy.Delete
Fantastic photo! I do love a bit of history xReplyDelete

180: One Button, One Scotch, One Beer
Pages PREV 1 2
When I get drunk around video games we usually end up playing either Smash (Melee) or Skate. I've played those games so much I can play them... well, I can play them when I'm really drunk.
isnt it obvious that when you are drunk you cant play a videogame well???
Can't say I agree with most ppl on Guitar Hero being bad while drunk. I play that game best at 3am after having consumed a box of beer/bottle of scotch. However drinking while playing other games isn't so great because I find I zone into the game and then by the time I remember I've got a drink it's warm.
I find it hard to speak in a serious manner about alcohol.But it certainly helps.I still have the great time when i have with the company to drink wine.
I have to say that the perfect game to play drunk is Time Crisis. Just point and shoot.
Best video game ever for drinking: Warioware. You don't need an IQ to play that sober, let alone drunk.

Why does my computer freeze/crash when online?
My computer freezes when watching video online. It has been doing it for a while; however, it typically happens only when I've been online for a while and/or watching video on line (hulu ect).
The guy at the apple store said the crash codes point to the USB (i.e. logic board). I ran the diagnostics CD-Rom and it said the logic board showed no issues. Likewise, the USB ports are rarely used, particularly when it freezes.
I'm wondering if it has something to do with my video card or overheating. I notice that it gets pretty warm when online/watching video.
Is there any other troubleshooting techniques to locate the exact issue?
Is this a good question?

There is a new version of this tutorial available for Ubuntu 14.10 (Utopic Unicorn).
The Perfect Desktop - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)
This tutorial exists for these OS versions
- Ubuntu 14.10 (Utopic Unicorn)
- Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander)
- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)
- Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail)
- Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal)
- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin)
On this page
This tutorial shows how you can set up an Ubuntu 14.04LTS (Trusty Tahr) desktop that is a full-fledged replacement for a Windows desktop, i.e. that has all the software that people need to do the things they do on their Windows desktops. The advantages are clear: you get a secure system without DRM restrictions that works even on old hardware, and the best thing is: all software comes free of charge.
Ubuntu 14.04 will by default start the new Unity ver 7.2 desktop which requires that your hardware supports 3D acceleration,however you can also switch to Ubuntu 2D mode in the log on screen. If your hardware does not support 3D acceleration or you don't like Unity,you can still switch back to 2D version or download one of the countless alternatives.
I want to say first that this is not the only way of setting up such a system. There are many ways of achieving this goal but this is the way I take. I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you!
1 Preliminary Note
To fully replace a Windows desktop, I want the Ubuntu desktop to have the following software installed:
- The GIMP - free software replacement for Adobe Photoshop
- Shotwell Photo Manager - full-featured personal photo management application for the GNOME desktop
- Firefox
- Opera
- Chromium - Google's open-source browser
- Flash Player 11
- FileZilla - multithreaded FTP client
- Thunderbird - email and news client
- Evolution - combines e-mail, calendar, address book, and task list management functions
- aMule - P2P file sharing application
- Transmission BitTorrent Client - Bittorrent client
- Vuze - Java Bittorrent client
- Empathy IM Client - multi-platform instant messaging client
- Skype
- Google Earth
- Xchat IRC - IRC client
- Gwibber Social Client - open-source micro-blogging client (Twitter, Facebook, etc.)
- Pidgin IM Client - Multi-platform instant messaging client
- LibreOffice Writer - replacement for Microsoft Word
- LibreOffice Calc - replacement for Microsoft Excel
- Adobe Reader
- GnuCash - double-entry book-keeping personal finance system, similar to Quicken
- Scribus - open source desktop publishing (DTP) application
Sound & Video:
- Amarok - audio player
- Audacity - free, open source, cross platform digital audio editor
- Banshee - audio player, can encode/decode various formats and synchronize music with Apple iPods
- MPlayer - media player (video/audio), supports WMA
- Rhythmbox Music Player - audio player, similar to Apple's iTunes, with support for iPods

- Xine - media player, supports various formats; can play DVDs
- Brasero - CD/DVD burning program
- K3B - CD/DVD burning program
- Multimedia Codecs
- KompoZer - WYSIWYG HTML editor, similar to Macromedia Dreamweaver, but not as feature-rich (yet)
- Bluefish - text editor, suitable for many programming and markup languages
- Eclipse - Extensible Tool Platform and Java IDE
- VirtualBox OSE - lets you run your old Windows desktop as a virtual machine under your Linux desktop, so you don't have to entirelyabandon Windows
- TrueType fonts
- Java
- Read-/Write support for NTFS partitions
- Synaptic Package Manager
- gdebi Package Installer
Lots of our desired applications are available in the Ubunturepositories, and some of these applications have been contributed by the Ubuntu community.
As you might have noticed, a few applications are redundant, forexample there are two CD/DVD burning applications in my list (Brasero, K3B). If you know which one you like best, you obviously don't need toinstall the other applications, however if you like choice, then of course you can install both. The same goes for music players likeAmarok, Banshee, Rhythmbox, XMMS or browsers (Firefox, Opera, Chromium).
I will use the username howtoforge in this tutorial. Please replace it with your own username.
2 Installing The Base System
The installation of the base system is easy as 1-2-3 because the Ubuntu installer doesn't offer a lot of options to choose from, so you cannot go wrong.
Download the Ubuntu 14.04 desktop edition iso image from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download, burn it onto a CD, and boot your computer from it:
Select your language and click on the Install Ubuntu button to start the installation:
On the next screen you see a few requirements for the Ubuntu 14.04 installation (the system should have at least GB available drive space and should be connected to the Internet). Please check the Download updates while installing and Install this third-party software (this will install the software necessary to process Flash, MP3, and other mediafiles) checkboxes and click on Continue:
Now we come to the partitioning of our hard disk. Usually Erase disk and install Ubuntu is a good choice, unless you need custom partitions and know what you're doing. Erase disk and install Ubuntu will create one big / partition for us:
Select the hard drive that you want to use for the Ubuntu installation. Then choose your time zone:
Change the keyboard layout, if necessary:
Type in your real name, your desired username along with a password,and click on Continue:
Afterwards, Ubuntu is being installed. This can take a few minutes,so be patient:
After the installation, you will be asked to reboot the system.Click on Restart Now:
At the end of the shutdown process, you are asked to remove the Ubuntu installation CD from the CD drive. Please do this now and press ENTER.
Your new Ubuntu system starts. Log into the desktop with the username and password you provided during the installation:
This is how your new Ubuntu Unity desktop looks:
Now the base system is ready to be used.

Sorry but Ubuntu is not a perfect desktop at all. Especially the 14.04 version. The number of plug-in which are enabled by default in the dash is terrifying. Ubuntu is more and more bloated and filled with craps which destroy the user experience.
My wife had always used Ubuntu. When I updated to v14.04, I had full of problems. First I removed the craps, then suddenly the theme disappears (no windows, no buttons). After a few hours, I decided it was enough and I switched to XFCE. Xububtu 14.04 for now. Strangely enough my wife likes it better. Conclusion, we are 3 with totally different skills. We had all tried Ubuntu for more than a reasonable period. And we all hate it.
Why would I want several programs that do the same thing? Thunderbird and Evolution? plz, stop with the clickbaits.
Try out which one fits best you you personally. If you have the choice of several great free programs, why not try them out to find your personal favorite.
Have you tried Sublime Text 3. Its still in beta but I find it better than Bluefish. Do let me know your views on this
Since Ubuntu 12.10 Unity 2D is no longer available. So in 14.04 you can not switch to 2D mode in the log on screen and you can't install the 2D version. References: http://www.geek.com/news/canonical-dumps-unity-2d-for-ubuntu-12-10-1510213/, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/08/unity-2d-removed-from-ubuntu-12-10.
Hi. I have Ubuntu 14.04 and it is quite ok considering that it is FREE. Sure there are many problems, for example when adding programs you must know what to do, because there are lots of different downloading places and also many different installing instructions in the iternet. Just a while ago I had to reinstall ubuntu because it complitely halted after I had installed xscreensaver with bad installing instructions as I later found out. There is no perfect operating system and never will be.
Very informative and very useful for us Ubuntu noobs. Would be wonderful to have suggestions oh how to backup/ restore our new Ubuntu system. Did I miss that?

We are checking 4 suitcases and then taking 6 backpacks! Notice the "PEOPLE" I splurged and bought myself on the floor in the pic? The Captain says "you actually think you'll have time to read that on the plane?" OF COURSE! I am confident that all the kids will be good and sit COMPLETELY STILL in their seats!
I made the 6 littles each their own "QUIET BAG." They are a surprise I will reveal ON THE AIRPLANE and not before! All things I am hoping will keep them quiet in the airplane. I put their name on the front & snacks and lots of things to do inside so they won't get bored. I found these great magnetic dolls at Dollar General for $1 with magnetized clothes and all-darling!I will be putting the 6 littles to bed in the clothes they are wearing tomorrow.

While his oldest son struggles with his shot as a Los Angeles Lakers rookie, LaVar Ball is struggling just to find a team to take his other two sons LiAngelo and LaMelo.
After pulling 19-year-old LiAngelo out of UCLA following his shoplifting arrest in China, the Ball father, through representative Harrison Gaines, is searching for a team overseas that'll take LiAngelo and 16-year-old LaMelo, who's been yanked out of high school.
One team the Balls have reached out to: BC Lietkabelis in Lithuania.
One of the overseas teams that has been approached about signing LiAngelo and LaMelo Ball is Lietkabelis of the Lithuanian Basketball League, general manager Mantas Ignatavičius confirmed via email.
— Jeff Eisenberg (@JeffEisenberg) December 5, 2017
The attempt was apparently unsuccessful.
"Yes, we have an opening at the security staff since they have an experience in this field," Lietkabelis head coach Arturs Stalbergs wrote on Twitter in response to a tweet about the Balls' interest in the club.
We are all Lietkabelis Panevezys fans from now on… Hint: Arturs Stalbergs is the coach of the team… pic.twitter.com/bVNza5Xuyh
— Yannis Psarakis (@YPsar) December 5, 2017
Lietkabelis likely won't be the last team to hard pass on either younger Ball brother.
"LiAngelo could probably play third division in Spain, France or Germany," an NBA scout told Yahoo Sports. "I doubt that's what he has in mind."
The middle Ball child wasn't even projected to start for UCLA this year.
"It's very difficult for me to see him having a longterm pathway to success where he could make more money in basketball than he could have as a UCLA graduate," said NBA draft expert Sam Vecenie.
"He was going to struggle with the explosiveness and athleticism college basketball brings compared to high school. I'm not going to say I know for a fact he couldn't defend at that level, but he has never had to do it before and his overall athletic profile doesn't bode well in the future."
By utilizing representation, LiAngelo and LaMelo have forfeited their chances to ever play college basketball.

I know they just dropped the price in half on the battery replacement. My question is... do you get the battery that is in the second generation mini meaning 18 hrs of battery life... or do you get the same that is in the first generation mini... featuring short life span and 8 hrs?

Grote Industries has introduced a new family of LED 6 in. oval and 4 in. round stop/tail/turn lamps, each equipped with an integral LED built-in back-up lamp.
"These 'two-in-one' Grote designs combine dual functions using long-life LED technology," said John Grote, global sales and marketing vice president. "Combining these new products is an obvious and extremely useful step forward. Both designs provide new mounting options and benefits to fleets, OEM designers, and inventory managers over a wide range of vehicle types. Eliminating incandescent technology and replacing it with modern LEDs results in a lamp that can last the life of the vehicle it's installed on, which can save OEMs significant costs and their customers hundreds of dollars over the time they're in service."
The lamps combine S/S/T and back-up functions to allow elimination of two holes and two lamps at the rear of straight, vocational, and specialized vehicles as well as eliminate the need for separate back-up lamps on HD power modules, the company explained. The two-lamps-in-one design also saves time and money in installation and inventory costs and eliminates potential leaks in vehicles, improves structural integrity and corrosion resistance, and leaves more room for other lamps and controls, as well as lift gates, emergency flashers, and grab rails.
Other features include:
- Grote designs fit existing 6 in. oval and 4 in. round grommets and flanges. In addition, the 6 in. oval design incorporates separate connections for each function, allowing the use of existing harness designs.
- Lamps are sealed from water and chemical ingress, severe environments, shock, and vibration.
- The 6 in. oval's symmetrical design retains FMVSS 108-compliance, regardless of mounting angle.
- Thin profile design minimizes damage from external impact – fits in shallow depth pillar locations.
- Companion S/T/T lamps without back-up function are also available.
The oval lamps will be available in the April-May timeframe. The round styles will be available in the third quarter.

Brachycephalic (also known as flat-faced dogs) dog breeds encompass several breeds that all have one major physical feature in common: they have shortened heads and more specifically they have especially shortened noses. Examples of brachycephalic breeds include the Pug, French Bulldog and Bulldog, but there are several others also. This brachycephalic conformation is well accepted to be associated with several health issues for these dogs including breathing difficulties, skin fold infections, eye disease, difficulty giving birth and spinal disease.
In recent years, the popularity of some brachycephalic breeds has risen hugely in the UK, to the point where the high demand for some brachycephalic breeds has imposed further welfare problems around poor quality breeding practices and both legal and illegal importation of puppies to supply a booming UK market for these dogs. Realisation by owners of the reality of owning one of these breeds, along with waning novelty value often means that these dogs are relinquished to rescue centres which further fuels a growing welfare concern.
This complex phenomenon involving inherent health issues of individual dogs, welfare issues around high-volume breeding and importation practices, and high levels of relinquishment have conspired to create a brachycephalic welfare issue that is now recognised as one of the most pressing welfare issues for dogs in the UK.
In response, all of the major stakeholders in dog welfare in the UK have formed a single body called the Brachycephalic Working Group (BWG) to try to improve the welfare of these dogs.
Aims of the Brachycephalic Working Group (BWG)
The BWG comprises leading UK dog welfare organisations, veterinary organisations, the Kennel Club, scientific & social researchers and relevant breed club representatives. The group aims to improve the health and welfare of brachycephalic (flat faced) dogs by working to improve the conformation-related health of individual dogs as well as also reducing the current trend towards rising demand for these dogs. These aims will be approached by developing a series of actions plans that target the brachycephalic welfare issue at several points. These actions have been defined in a detailed Framework Document.
Composition of the Brachycephalic Working Group (BWG)
The BWG includes representatives of all major stakeholders in dog welfare in the UK. These include:
- Academia – Royal Veterinary College, University of Cambridge
- Dog breed health co-ordinators – Bulldog, French Bulldog, Pug
- Veterinary profession – British Veterinary Association (BVA), British Small Animal Veterinary Association (BSAVA)
- Dog registering body – The Kennel Club
- Animal charities – Dogs Trust, PDSA, RSPCA
- Owners, Breeders, Veterinary surgeons

After announcing that the end was nigh for the TouchPad, and killing off the rest of its webOS hardware division last week, HP said Monday that the mobile operating system is not dead quite yet.
In an interview with AllThingsD's Ina Friend, Stephen DeWitt, the HP exec in change of webOS, said that "We will focus on the future of webOS as a software platform but we will no longer be producing webOS devices."
DeWitt continued, stressing that HP still projects "At the end of the day, webOS is going to be a popular platform on a variety of connected devices."
The webOS question will certainly be a tricky one for HP: the company could attempt to license webOS to other manufactures, hold onto the webOS/Palm division simply to collect royalties, or spin off the division altogether. Given that that the mobile market is shaping up to be a two-way battle between Android and the iPhone the first option seems unlikely.
DeWitt was hesitant to shed any light into HP's plans for webOS during his interview with AllThingsD only saying the company has had a number of discussions with market players and claiming there is "a lot of interest" in the operating system.
While DeWitt may have been dodgy with AllThingsD about HP's strategy for webOS, a comment he made to Bloomberg was telling of the company's plans for the OS: "We're going to continue to evolve it, update and support it. We stand by it."

Wednesday, 24 August 2011 09:46 AM
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A new survey from a large benefits consultant says nearly one of every 10 mid-sized or big employers expects to stop offering health coverage to workers once federal insurance exchanges start in 2014.
Towers Watson says an additional 20 percent of the companies it surveyed last month are unsure about what they will do. The remaining 71 percent expect to continue offering benefits.
Exchanges were devised under the health care overhaul and aim to provide a marketplace for people to buy insurance that can be subsidized by the government based on income levels.
Benefits experts say retailers and companies that pay low wages are most likely to drop coverage for their workers. But they also caution that companies are far from making a final decision on this.

Just when you thought it was safe to put the shovels away.
A fresh batch of snow is headed to the Big Apple, with the forecast calling for three to six inches by Saturday morning.
"The good news is it doesn't look to be as intense as the blizzard we had the day after Christmas, but it will put down locally heavy snow," AccuWeather.com meteorologist Alex Sosnowski said. "It will last about 24 hours and looks like it will start after the morning rush hour Friday," he said

Devine, Austin, and Sanders are three to watch!
The nationally televised contest between Marshall and West Virginia is just a few short hours away and we're going to hit you with the big three impact players on offense for West Virginia that you should keep an eye on.
Noel Devine, Senior, Running Back, #7
Noel Devine is easily one of the best running backs in all of college football. He's already piled up over 3,492 yards and 24 touchdowns during his prolific career in Morgantown and will look to add to that total tonight when he faces off against Marshall.
Blessed with blazing speed and uncanny acceleration, Devine is truly a threat to take the football the distance on any given moment and must be accounted for at all times.
Marshall's defensive unit will have their hands full with the talented senior and if they wish to pull off the upset, it clearly begins and ends with containing the superstar running back.
Tavon Austin, Sophomore, Running Back/Wide receiver, #1
The 5'9, 173 pound sophomore hauled in five catches for 90 yards in the Mountaineers opening win over Coastal Carolina. Austin is a running back with superb hands who will likely get the ball in a variety of ways, both as a running back and a receiver.
While he might not be as well known as Devine, Austin is every bit as explosive and will be utilized in the Mountaineers kick return game. Last season, Austin had 17 kick returns for 426 yards, an average of 25.1 yards per return.
Clearly, Austin is a home-run hitter who must be accounted for at all times. The Marshall defense must limit his big play potential if they want to slow the West Virginia offensive attack.
Jock Sanders, Senior, Wide Receiver, #9
Jock Sanders is a receiver first, running back second type of player, but his versatility is part of what makes him so difficult to defend.
Small, speedy, and shifty--West Virginia will get the ball to him in a variety of ways on offense to ensure they can get the most out of his playmaking ability.
The WVU coaching staff will get him the football in end-arounds, sweeps, and try and get him the ball in space and let him use his biggest asset--his speed.
Last week against Coastal Carolina, he hauled in 8 catches for 71 yards and 1 touchdown, while also rushing for 31 yards on one carry.
He hauled in 72 catches for 688 yards and 3 touchdowns last season for WVU and will be a man that will be closely watched by MU defensive coordinator Chris Rippon.
HerdNation will have full breakdown and analysis after the game!! Plus some quotes and interviews with players courtesy of Dick Ash.

We were so very fortunate to to receive Jillian into our care relatively healthy!!
Jillian is great at sharing! She shares her Cheri0s. She shares her Baby for kisses. And, she shares all sorts of colds, sore throats with her Mom and Dad!!
Since starting daycare over the summer, we've been taking turns passing around cold after cold, runny noses and several boxes of tissues, all courtesy of the wonderful world of daycare!!
Christmas week, Jillian passed on a nasty little bug complete with aches and pains and flu type symptoms to her Daddy. Just as John was feeling better, Jillian passed her little runny nose to me along with said aches and pains. Over the next week we were all feeling better.
As Jillian just appeared to have a runny nose with no other apparent symptoms, things came to a head over the last week and a half. She had several nights waking up crying and had some coughing. She was content to be held, however, would not go back to sleep. Quite unusual for Jillian who sleeps through the night. Now, I get a severe sore throat along with laryngitis - so the sleepless nights are not helping. Surely, if I feel as bad as I know I do, Jillian must feel just as bad - yet she bounces back to her normal self while at daycare.
We make a trip to the pediatrician on Tuesday, low and and behold, Jillian has her second known ear infection and needs antibiotics.
I say second known only because there is always a possibility of her being sicker than she appears. She never really indicates symptoms of being sick which sometimes makes me a little nervous. Her appetite doesn't really change. She doesn't pull at her ears. This time around with the ear infection, she was only waking up at night crying, and although soothed would not go back to sleep for sometimes several hours.
We have a follow up with our pediatrician in a couple of weeks, then it will be time to make another follow up with the pediatric ear nose and throat specialist.
Last time we were at the specialist, they suggested there would be a possibility of tubes. It looks like that that possibility will most likely will be a probability. We have to wait for the infection to clear up first, and take it from there.

Swan in Littlehampton park put down after attack by dog
The owner of a dog is being sought after it fatally injured a swan during an attack at a park in West Sussex.
The dog, described as a Staffordshire bull terrier, barked at swans in Brookfield Park, Littlehampton, before leaping over a fence and attacking one.
The cob swan suffered serious injuries to its face and had to be put down.
A £500 reward for information which leads to a conviction has been offered by the Worthing and District Animal Rescue Service.
Sussex Police said swans had inhabited the pond for about 10 years and had recently hatched six cygnets.
'No control'
Police community support officer Andy Orpin said the attack, which happened at about 08:00 BST on Saturday, had upset a lot of people in the community and left a family of swans without the protection of its cob.
"This really highlights the consequences of dog owners not maintaining control of their pets when using the park.
"If the people involved in this incident are located, we will consider prosecution," he said.
The owner of the dog was described as a white female, in her early 30s, of medium build, and with long blonde hair.
She was wearing a pink T-shirt and blue jeans.
Police said she had tried to get the dog to come out of the fenced area to prevent the attack but was unable to do so.

He was halfway there before someone told him what the Celts were like — and he fled back to Rome in terror.
Urged by the Pope to continue, it was tough going until he had the breakthrough of converting King ETHELBERT-OF-KENT. That added ten thousand souls to the Church at a stroke.
He has a Holy Well at Cerne Abbas in Dorset (the same locality as the famously rude hillside giant). Naturally it came into being when he struck the ground with his staff.
For reasons that escape us, his Feast Day is somewhat variable. Some say it's May 27th, others May 28th. But in England and Wales it's the 26th.

Another person has come forward saying he was fondled by Daniel McCormack, the former Roman Catholic priest who was convicted of sexually abusing boys at his West Side parish.
In a lawsuit filed Wednesday in Cook County Circuit Court, an unidentified 21-year-old man alleges that, as a child, he was fondled twice by McCormack, who was the pastor at St. Agatha Catholic Church. The man was a student around 2003 and '04 at St. Agatha, the lawsuit says. The plaintiff repressed memories of the abuse until this summer, according to the suit.
McCormack was considered a rising star in the Archdiocese of Chicago before boys from his parish came forward with abuse allegations. He was removed from the priesthood and sentenced to five years in prison in 2007. The archdiocese has since agreed to pay out millions to settle civil claims regarding the former priest.
McCormack, 44, is now in the custody of the Illinois Department of Human Services, according to the sex offender registry.
When McCormack came up for parole in 2010 after serving 2½ years of his sentence, the Cook County state's attorney and the Illinois attorney general petitioned to have him committed under the Sexually Violent Persons Commitment Act, arguing that he remains a threat.
The new lawsuit asks for more than $50,000 in damages from Cardinal Francis George.
On its website Thursday, the Archdiocese said the lawsuit is being investigated and will be pursued legally.

5 Things You Must Never Do To Your Child as a Parent!!!
1. Never play with your child's breast or penis: Some mothers do this as a means of teasing their children. Some even allow others to do it to their children and when the child frowns at it, they are like "can't someone even play with you again?" Seriously, it's a really bad thing, no matter how young the child is, as long as he is not a toddler, the genitals should never be toyed with.
2. Never body shame your child: As a mother, you are supposed to make your children proud of themselves not make them have low self-esteem. A mother who uses her child's features to insult him or her will end up loosing a part of the child which she can never get back.
3. Never curse your child: Children hurt when their parents curse them, which in turn, makes them develop the habit of cursing other people. They often turn out to be the names their parents call them, hence, they become nuisance to the society.
4: Never discipline your child unnecessarily: When a parent disciplines a child unnecessarily, the child gets used to discipline and even he/she won't know what is wrong or right anymore. This kind of child ends up doing whatever he/she pleases with the thought that (no matter what he/she does, its never right in the sight of the parent).
5: Never compare your children or insult one for another especially if they are teenagers or adults: This act can make the inferior child do things that are unspeakable in order to prove himself/herself right. Worse, the child accepts the fact that he is less worthy and lacks focus and ambition. If a parent must compare two children, it should be in a cool manner, during advice, when they are away from they other child. This will make the inferior child see why he/she should do or be better.

Medisolv's collaboration will provide Vizient members with advanced software tools to easily comply with the mandates of quality reporting programs, including eCQMs for hospitals and ambulatory practices. Preparing for the ever-changing demands of a value-based world is challenging. With Medisolv's suite of comprehensive quality solutions, health systems will be able to achieve superior levels of performance critical to both payments and public reporting.
The agreement includes Medisolv's ENCOR for Electronic Measures module (2015 ONC Certified) for hospitals and the Eligible Clinicians module (MIPS) for providers.
Additionally, Vizient members are assigned a dedicated Medisolv clinical consultant to provide product training, support, data validation assistance and guidance on regulatory compliance issues.
Medisolv is a MEDITECH Collaborative Solutions Provider. Medisolv solutions are integrated into the MEDITECH Data Repository, offering users instant access to real-time data. There are no need for file uploads to update quality reports or financial data, or SQL queries to run reports or submit quality reporting. All Medisolv products integrate with the MEDITECH EHR. Medisolv supports the MEDITECH user community through participation and presentations at the annual MUSE conferences and the MEDITECH CIO and Physician's Forum, and through individual relationships with hundreds of MEDITECH member hospitals.
Medisolv is a Microsoft Certified Partner. Our solutions are built for use with SQL Server software. Together, we are able to offer the power of Medisolv technology on the platform of the world's largest database provider. Medisolv supports Microsoft clients through co-operative educational webinars and customer outreach.

Medisolv is a proud member of the National Quality Forum.
For a facility our size, the burden of gathering all this data was overwhelming. Now, we have quick access to obtain the data for each of our providers, and management… and that is quality performance improvement. With Medisolv, we can quickly align quality measures for Meaningful Use, Patient Centered Medical Home and PQRS.
We are better able to manage our quality measures and reporting processes, and better utilize our data.
It's a pretty tall order to have excellent quality and exceptional patient experience at a low cost, and it's getting harder and harder to do that. We're fortunate to have Medisolv, which provides a single platform within our health system focused on pay-for-performance measures, with data for us to look at that's refreshed every day.
We used Medisolv's ENCOR quality reporting solution to successfully report core measures electronically without any abstraction ... Our substantial investments in an EHR and clinical workflow optimization were crucial in the production of high quality data that made submission possible.
"This process did not start just this year for us. We have worked with Medisolv for over four years to ensure that our electronic quality measures were an accurate reflection of the quality of care in our hospital. The ease with which this submission transpired speaks to the years of mutual dedication to improving quality at Rockdale Medical Center."
ENCOR gives us great visibility into measure performance and decreases the time we spend entering data. We have more time to be out educating our staff and making sure the patients are getting what they need. By decreasing our abstraction time, it has allowed us more time to be proactive in helping to make the measures successful.
We submitted our first eCQMs accurately, three months early, and under budget … It gives me comfort that as we move forward and the landscape changes, Medisolv will be right there with us.

Pacers President Donnie Walsh doesn't think his team has to make too many adjustments to be able to contend for an NBA title.
Since coach Frank Vogel took over the team midway through the 2010-11 season, the Pacers have done nothing but take steps forward. They went to the playoffs for the first time in four years when Vogel took over and then lost to the eventual champion Miami Heat in the second round of the playoffs last season.
There are new faces: Walsh is replacing Larry Bird. Tyler Hansbrough's younger brother, Ben, signed with the team last month. Point guard Darren Collison is gone, replaced by D.J. Augustin, and Ian Mahinmi is backing up center Roy Hibbert, who signed a new contract in the offseason.

The United States Bureau of Land Management (BLM) proposed oil and gas leasing in the Northeast National Petroleum Reserve - Alaska (NPR-A), and completed an environmental impact statement (EIS) to evaluate this proposal. The North Slope Borough, the regional government, has generally supported oil and gas development in the region; however, the borough expressed strong concerns about this proposal because of the Northeast NPR-A region's importance to the traditions and food supply of neighboring Alaska Native communities. The community had contemplated litigation to stop BLM's leasing plan, but ultimately the borough became a cooperating agency to represent the interests of local residents and contributed to an in-depth HIA to inform the BLM's decision-making process. The HIA highlighted a number of potential health risks and benefits of the proposed leasing, including: 1) impacts on the local diet (heavily dependent on locally-harvested wild fish and game) and rates of obesity and diabetes; 2) exposure to pollution from any major emissions sources nearby or through ingestion of contaminated fish and game if pollution were to enter the food chain; 3) social problems, such as illicit drug and alcohol importation by non-resident workers coming to the region; and 4) the use of oil and gas revenues to support local services important to health, such as public safety, fire and medical emergency response.
The HIA made a number of recommendations, and BLM considered these as potential mitigation measures. Ultimately, the BLM adopted some additional protections for key hunting and fishing areas; measures to minimize disruption of local game, such as elevating the height of new pipelines to allow free caribou migration; cultural orientation for workers; and a requirement for a more in-depth and site-specific consideration of health impacts for any major oil development on leased lands in the future. Ultimately, there was no litigation on this EIS.

MEDINA — Jerry Springer, longtime TV talk-show host and one time Cincinnati mayor, told Medina County Democrats on Saturday that he still hasn't decided whether to run for governor in 2018.
However, he said, if he were elected governor, he would create a statewide health care system featuring small neighborhood clinics funded largely by corporate donations.
Also on Saturday, Springer dipped his toe into the national political discussion, criticizing President Donald Trump and Republicans who support him.
"America is under attack," said Springer, 73. "And it's not just by terrorists, and it's not just by the Russians, and it's not just cyberattacks.
"But for the first time in my lifetime, and for the first time in at least
150 years, we're under attack by our own government, by our own White House," Springer said. "And that may be the most sinister attack of all."
Springer spoke at the Medina County Democratic Party's annual Jefferson-Jackson Dinner and Silent Auction fundraiser at Williams on the Lake on Lafayette Road. About 70 people attended.
State of indecision
In a news conference immediately before his talk, Springer told reporters he's not sure when he will make up his mind about a gubernatorial run. He has considered it for months.
"I'm not trying to be cute," Springer said. "I'm really trying to decide. There's pressure for me to do it."
That pressure is coming from Ohio Democrats who aren't entirely confident in those who already have announced their candidacies. Those candidates include former U.S. Rep. Betty Sutton, former state Rep. Connie Pillich, former state Senate Minority Leader Joe Schiavoni and Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley.
"You have very qualified candidates. Any one of them I can easily support," Springer said. "The question is, 'Does anyone have a real chance?' We just don't know that."
On Oct. 23, Republican gubernatorial candidate Mike DeWine was in Medina, speaking to about 50 supporters at Amuse Euro Bistro on Public Square. Other GOP candidates seeking to succeed term-limited Republican Gov. John Kasich include Secretary of State Jon Husted, Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor and U.S. Rep. Jim Renacci from Wadsworth.
Springer acknowledged that Democrats asked him to run for governor largely because he — like Trump was before he sought the presidency — is a celebrity, and would bring name-recognition to the ballot.
However, Springer said that he, unlike Trump, has political experience. In addition to his time as Cincinnati mayor in the late 1970s, Springer has campaigned and raised money for Democratic candidates over the years.
Springer, dubbed the "king of trash TV" for his talk show, which routinely involves brawls among guests, said he must consider his talk-show employees, who would lose their jobs if he runs for governor. Also, Springer said he must determine if he wants to spend the last chapter of his life running for and possibly serving as governor, and whether he can assemble an effective campaign team and administration.
"It's a big job," Springer told reporters. "It's a grown-up job."
Springer said that due to his age, he would serve only one term, so he would have no hidden agenda or aspirations to seek higher office.
"I can't possibly have a political future beyond this," Springer said.
Health care foundation
Asked about health care by The Gazette, Springer told reporters, and later the audience, that nothing is more important than the health of one's family. He said the No. 1 priority of any government is to ensure that everyone has access to health care.
Springer said he would push for a statewide system of small neighborhood health clinics, staffed by
primary-care doctors and nurses, within 10 to 15 minutes of everyone's home. All Ohio residents would receive a health care card and would pay medical bills on a sliding scale based on their incomes. The poor would pay nothing.
Springer said the system would receive some money from the federal and state governments. However, most of the funds would come from corporations and the private sector through a foundation he would create.
The foundation and government appropriations, in addition to covering the cost of the clinics, would pay for the medical education of doctors and nurses who agree to work at the clinics for at least three years.
Springer said the idea came to him after watching everyone, including average citizens, come together to help hurricane victims in Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico. He said he would raise millions of dollars for the foundation, even if he had to organize a telethon every year.
"I'm being flippant, but we know how to do this," Springer told the audience Saturday. "We have to think outside the box."
Springer said he believes Republicans, if they continue to dominate the federal and state governments, would support a plan that used limited taxpayer dollars.
Unsettling times
Springer said the United States has experienced tougher times — including World War II, the Korean and Vietnam wars and the 1960s civil rights movement — but he called today "the most unsettling of times." He noted that millions of Americans protested Trump's inauguration, even before he took any action.
"It's the first time in my lifetime that we really as a nation seem confused about who we are, what we are," Springer said.
He said the United States is the only nation in history built upon an idea, as opposed to a tribe or race. The idea is that regardless of their backgrounds, citizens can strive to be who they want to be.
"Now we have a president or government that seriously wants to attack that idea, that we are no longer a multicultural society, that it's OK to deport Mexicans, ban Muslims, disenfranchise African-Americans and attack women," Springer said.
He said it's wrong to spout patriotism, then support policies that hurt minorities. He said it's also wrong that congressional Republicans ignore Trump's indiscretions just because he supports their legislative agenda.
"Our sons and daughters didn't fight and die for a bill, or a particular piece of legislation," Springer said. "It's the idea of America."

Backing up, I began sewing when I was 6, and quilting at the age of 8 all thanks to my mom who was and is still a quilter. She let me take weekly summer camps at a sewing machine dealer. I started out making clothes, bags and pillows. I was then allowed to start the quilting camp early, and soon cut with a rotary cutter. Quickly, I cut a whole double size bed quilt, and pieced it at age 9. The summers after I kept sewing and quilting.
I used the Handi Quilter Sixteen as a rental program at a local quilt shop. The reason I wanted to take the rental classes and learn the longarm is so that I could quilt my quilts other than tying and stitching in the ditch. I completed five quilts from renting at that shop. Four of the quilts were first place winners in the Children's Department at the Delaware State Fair. The fifth quilt was my own quilt design which I also wrote up into a quilt pattern and sold.
From age 16 to 17, I developed and ran a rental program at a quilt shop (A Handi Quilter Dealer) where I worked. I taught the rental classes as well as helping the customers quilt their own quilts. It was a wonderful rewarding experience since I got to learn the machine in and out firsthand, and it had me wondering "WHEN I AM I GOING TO HAVE MY OWN?".
Then, in December of 2009, my parents gave me a graduation gift to go to the Machine Quilting Expo in Providence, Rhode Island. I was stunned! I booked my classes New Year day, and in April of 2010 I attended the Machine Quilting Expo in Providence, Rhode Island. Got an excused absence from school since it was my senior year in high school, and headed up to the show with another local longarmer. I didn't think twice about which brand of a longarm to buy. I already knew how well the machine performed, but it was just biting the bullet. I debated, debated, debated some more and drove my parents as well as the lady I traveled with crazy. Finally, at the last minute of the Machine Quilting Expo, literally 5 p.m. on Saturday when the show closed, I signed the contract. When I called my parents back to say I bought it, they said "I hope it fits". Haha because before I had left for Rhode Island we were supposed to measure the room, as you can tell we didn't.
When it was time to put up the machine, my parents helped put it up in our basement. WOW! I had been around the machine and the studio frame for over 2 years at this point, but putting it in the basement seems like the machine had grown. We added more lights in the ceiling, ordered thread and I didn't get to work on the machine for few weeks because number one it wasn't complete built yet, and number two I had to graduate high school.
Since graduation, the machine has been running nonstop, because I started my very own longarm quilting business called Midnight Quilter. Appropriately named because I am starting college in the Fall and time is limited, so can you guess when I quilt?
I love my HQ Pro-Stitcher because the results are wonderful, and all the designs for the machine I can download from the internet are fabulous. In addition, it allows me to personalize my quilts as well as my customer's quilts. With the features on the HQ Pro-Stitcher and the ease of usage, custom quilting is much more enjoyable. I do a little bit of everything with my Handi Quilter: free motion, computerized edge to edge and computerized custom. The format from switching from free motion to the computerized couldn't be any easier with the Handi Quilter. I am just so thankful that such a sturdy, reliable machine with the computer system was in my price range. I know I can support my hobby of quilting and paying for college all at the same time. Thanks, Handi Quilter!!!
I own the following HQ machines:

We're very excited to bring you this Hunk du Jour Interview. Be sure to read our past interviews, and if you've got an inside line on a noteworthy guy we should talk to, please let us know!
Chris M, Hunk du Jour: We're here with Michael DiMartino, from YouTube, who you've probably seen in that awesome Womanizer fan video where he signs the entire song... welcome, Michael!
Michael DiMartino: Thanks Chris!
UPDATED Video Address
Chris M, Hunk du Jour: You released another video last week too, correct?
Michael DiMartino: Yes, thats right. If You Seek Amy, by Britney Spears
Chris M, Hunk du Jour: Ahh, yes! So that's an interesting song in that if you hear someone SAYING "If You Seek Amy" it's quite a different effect than if you're just reading it on a page (or seeing it signed, I imagine.)
Michael DiMartino: Right. There is definitely the acronym for an obsenity that everyone has become aware of. When I first thought about doing the song I struggled with that.
As an interpreter I had to figure out how to put the MEANING of the song (the obscenity, the sexual undertone) without losing the gimmick of the song's phrase "If you Seek Amy." I decided to play with the idea of a girl named amy leaving me a note in bed, and chasing her throughout the video. And using a split screen to sign the two phrases "If You Seek Amy" and "F U * K Me"
Chris M, Hunk du Jour: You work as an interpreter too, is that right?
Michael DiMartino: Yeah. It is my current career.
Chris M, Hunk du Jour: Is that common in interpreting -- having to try to figure out how to interpret not only the literal language, but something like a pun... the other clues about humor?
Michael DiMartino: Yes! Have you ever stopped and took a second to look at the english language? it is full of back to back idioms! For example, in my previous sentence I said "Take a second and look at the english language." Are you actually LOOKING at a language? Of course not, but we understanding the meaning. That's an interpreter's job.
Chris M, Hunk du Jour: To a complete newbie, we might assume that you're just doing a literal translation of each word... when really you're doing more reconstruction of entire ideas in sign language.
Michael DiMartino: Right. Even the word womanizer. Throughout the song I never actually say "womanizer" -- there is no sign in existence for a womanizer. I had to break it down "Your plan is to meet many women and take advantage of them. How? by sleeping with them, and leaving them." Luckily, it made for a cool dance. (smiles)
Chris M, Hunk du Jour: Very cool, indeed! What was the first ASL-interpretation of a music video you did?
Michael DiMartino:The first music video i did was Gold Digger by Kanye West. However, YouTube took it down. Then I did Rihanna's Dont Stop The Music (which was my favorite) but it got taken down too. With Golddigger i was just standing there, though. I wouldn't call it a music video. I hadn't learned how to edit yet. With Rihanna's, that was the first real music video.
Chris M, Hunk du Jour: Are those the only two videos you've had to take down, or is there a library of videos that can no longer see the light of day?
Michael DiMartino: Those are the only two.
Chris M, Hunk du Jour: Maybe you should post them with only a few seconds of audio so folks can synchronize their iPods!
Michael DiMartino: Lol, good idea.
Chris M, Hunk du Jour: Or even post them without audio -- I think that'd be a pretty good statement in itself!
Michael DiMartino: I've thought about it. It's sad to me (the entire thing,) but that's a good point -- it would be a statement. If you would still watch, maybe Ill do it. (smiles)
Chris M, Hunk du Jour: I guarantee you there have been folks watching your videos on MUTE to see how it might be.
Michael DiMartino: Hopefully they still like it, get a fresh perspective on music without sound (is that a contradiction?!)
Chris M, Hunk du Jour: How has the rise in interest for your videos felt over the past few weeks?
Michael DiMartino: Hmm. It feels pretty good. Also a little overwhelming and can sometimes be alarming. Overwhelming, when I get woken up 43 times from my phone vibrating that I have a new comment or message. Alarming, when I go out to drink and I get stares and people are whispering "that's the womanizer guy..."
Chris M, Hunk du Jour: So you're getting noticed out in public now, too!
Michael DiMartino: Oh yeah, it happens.
Chris M, Hunk du Jour: What do you do when you get the stares? Smile and wave, or pretend to disappear?
Michael DiMartino: I shrink and shrivel. (smiles) I'm never sure what to do exactly. I never want to come across cocky. I prefer to pretend I didn't notice. (smiles)
Chris M, Hunk du Jour: Haha - I'd probably do the same. It's nice to be kind of a "behind the scenes" force at HDJ.
Chris M, Hunk du Jour: Your video appeared on Britney's official site, have you been contacted by her camp?
Michael DiMartino: Just by a few of her bloggers really. I would love to be contacted and told "We are gonna do a concert with you for the deaf" but nothing yet.
Chris M, Hunk du Jour: At the very least I think a couple VIP tickets and a photo op are in order! (Just putting that out into the internet world...)
Michael DiMartino: (laughing) I agree!!!
Chris M, Hunk du Jour: Is there such at thing a "performance ASL interpretation"?? I mean, watching your videos -- it's almost more dance than interpretation... It seems like there might be a performance genre here!
Michael DiMartino: There is such a thing. Nobody has really perfected it yet. I havent actually seen anything that incorporates dance and sign language together, unless its contemporary. I'm trying to bring it mainstream.
It is VERY difficult to come up with choreopgrahy that still shows the hands. It is even hard to make your body do one thing, while making your hands do something else. It's like rubbing your stomach and patting your head. Sometimes I have to do several takes because I end up on the floor tangled in a knot... and not even in a good way!
Chris M, Hunk du Jour: (laughing) What kind of response have you gotten from viewers? How does it differ from deaf/hearing or fellow interpreters/casual viewers?
Michael DiMartino: The response has been the same across the board. There is alot of excitement about the newness, and effectiveness of the videos. It's interesting to me that even the hearing world has taken notice and enjoys them as well. I think that says something about the future and sign language being incorporated. Because why not? If it is done right, everyone can enjoy it. I get contacted frequently by people in France, Barcelona, Canada, etc. And I LOVE that other countries view it as well.
Chris M, Hunk du Jour: You were also in a play that sounded very interesting to me... can you talk a bit about it? As I understood, there were two casts performing side by side... one speaking, and one signing?
Michael DiMartino: Yes. it was called Kosher Harry. The play itself was VERY odd, nobody (including the actors) understood it. On one side of the stage, were 4 actors, talking. On the other side, were 4 actors who signed (one or two were deaf).
I was actually cast as a different role. But another actor had to back out of the play and I was asked to replace him (because I'm an interpreter). The opening night was the first time I ever even heard the new role's lines, and the guy [I was interpreting] had a very thick Brazilian accent. I was soaked by the end of it.
The New York Times happened to be there, and they called me 'the most magnetic actor on stage," which was hot. It couldve gone horribly wrong.
Chris M, Hunk du Jour: So what does the future hold for Michael? Where would you like to be seen next?
Michael DiMartino: What most people don't know is that I've been acting since birth. I was baby jesus when i was 11 months. (laughing) So, I would like to translate this into a career. I am actually meeting with a manager next week to discuss the future. I can't think of anything else I would rather be doing than entertaining people, performing. And I truly believe I am meant for it. in m stomach I get a vortex of butterflies everytime I think about it. And I'm ecstatic that people are taking notice.
Chris M, Hunk du Jour: Well, I truly hope this is your big break! In the short, term -- is there another video in the works?
Michael DiMartino: I haven't begun yet becaus I am going on a vacation for 2 weeks, but I've been stirring some ideas around. Something more dramatic, something dark, rockish maybe.
Chris M, Hunk du Jour: Well to catch Micheal's next videos, you definitely need to subscribe to his YouTube channel. Anywhere else folks can keep in touch with you?
Michael DiMartino: Facebook they can find me under Michael DiMartino.
Chris M, Hunk du Jour: Fantastic! Thanks so much for talking with us!

Drama series lead acting races: By the numbers
Before this year, the six women competing for lead actress in a drama series at the Emmy Awards had tallied up an impressive 26 nominations among them, with five wins. Returning nominees Glenn Close ("Damages") and Mariska Hargitay ("Law & Order: SVU") are two of the three most recent winners in this category; the other, Sally Field ("Brothers & Sisters"), was dropped from the race after three bids.
Reigning champ Close won this award for each of the first two seasons of the FX legal drama. She took home her first Emmy Award (out of eight performance nods) for headlining the 1995 telefilm "Serving in Silence." This year marks Hargitay's seventh consecutive nomination for "Law & Order: SVU," with her win coming in 2006.
Julianna Margulies -- who contends for the freshman hit "The Good Wife" -- was nominated for all six of the seasons she was on "ER." She won the supporting award for the first year of that ratings smash in 1994, then contended again in that category the following year before moving up, albeit unsuccessfully, to the lead race for four years.
All three of these women have won Golden Globes for their Emmy-nominated roles -- Hargitay and Close on the first of their two nods in 2004 and 2007, respectively, and Margulies at the most recent ceremony.
Although Kyra Sedgwick has yet to prevail at the Emmys despite four previous nominations for "The Closer," she did win on the second of her five consecutive Golden Globe nods in 2006. While this is the first Emmy recognition for January Jones ("Mad Men"), she did contend in the lead race at the last two Golden Globes. This is the first Emmy nomination for Connie Britton ("Friday Night Lights").
The men in the lead actor drama series race have 17 previous performance nominations but only two wins. Both of those were for reigning champ Bryan Cranston for the first two seasons of "Breaking Bad." Before these victories, Cranston was a three-time also ran in the supporting actor comedy series race for "Malcolm in the Middle" (2002, 2003, 2006).
This year, Hugh Laurie earned his fourth consecutive and fifth overall bid for "House." He remains winless have losing to Cranston twice and James Spader ("Boston Legal") in 2005 and 2007. "Dexter" star Michael C. Hall lost those two recent races to Cranston and was bested in his 2002 lead actor bid for "Six Feet Under" by Michael Chiklis ("The Shield"). And Jon Hamm ("Mad Men") was also an also-ran to Cranston both years. Hamm is a double nominee again this year, contending for the second time in the guest comedy actor race for a recurring role on "30 Rock." Though all three are Emmy runner-ups, they each won with the Golden Globes -- Laurie (2005, 2006), Hamm (2007) and Hall (2009).
TV vets Kyle Chandler ("Friday Night Lights") and Matthew Fox ("Lost") are first-time contenders in this category. Chandler was a 2006 guest drama actor nominee for "Grey's Anatomy"; he lost to Christian Clemenson ("Boston Legal").

The stock-market softness that began last week accelerated Monday as investors finally got a chance to react to Friday's disappointing employment report.
As of 9:20 a.m. Pacific, the Dow Jones industrial average was off 128.62 points, or 1%, to 12,931.68 – dropping the blue-chip index back below 13,000. The selling put the Dow on track for its second triple-digit loss in the last three trading days and only its third such decline this year.
Other market barometers are also down. The Standard & Poor's 500 is off 16.26 points, or 1.2%, to 1,381.82. The Nasdaq composite index is down 33.17 points, or 1.1%, to 3,047.33.
The selling came in response to Friday's report that the U.S. added 120,000 net new jobs in March, about half the rate of job growth of each of the preceding three months. The report raised concerns that economic growth may slow later this year. The stock market was closed Friday in observance of Good Friday.

Torah scroll returned to Herefordshire Jewish community
A Torah scroll previously kept at a museum has been returned to members of the Jewish community in Herefordshire.
Members of the community have raised more than £500 to conserve the Sefer Torah scroll, which was gifted to the county's museum in 1933.
Mark Walton, chair of the Jewish group, said the scroll - a handwritten copy of the holiest book within Judaism - was "hugely significant".
Museum staff said it felt right to return the scroll to the community.
The group has funded the repair of the stitching of the scroll, which has been repaired by Herefordshire Archives.
'Continuity of tradition'
Mr Walton said: "The Torah scroll contains the first five books of Moses, from which we read a section every week in synagogue.
"This is the high point of our services. We use it as the basis for teaching and learning.
"It also has a hugely significant importance as a symbol of our continuity of tradition."
A spokesperson from the museum said staff knew very little about the origins of the scroll except that it had been stored for 80 years, including 10 years in a purpose-built climate-controlled environment.
It was donated to the museum by Colonel Tudor Fitzjohn, described by staff as "a distinguished military man" of the 4th battalion Worcestershire regiment.
The scroll was recently put on display before the Herefordshire Jewish community contacted the museum to ask about using it.
A replica version has been used for Jewish services until now, the group said.
A ceremony to mark the return of the scroll to the community was held at 11:00 BST.
