Next up for the Week of Shapes we have our second hexagon quilt to share. This one is from Melissa Richie at We Shall Sew. It is the TNT (or Tried New Things) Quilt and features a modern rainbow of raw edge appliqued hexies arranged in a cascading asymmetrical design.
Melissa first attempted to learn to quilt back in 1997 but, it wasn't until the modern quilt movement was fully underway in 2011 that she was inspired enough to finish her first quilt. In just one short year she's designing her own quilts. Read on as she answers a few questions about her inspiration for this 50″ x 80″ quilt.
Question: What was your inspiration for this quilt?
Melissa: Well, the inspiration was actually a design on a t-shirt I saw on a guy at a cafe. The left side of the (aqua) shirt had asymmetrical red and white circles, but the right side was plain. I thought it was cool. I had to be sly and take a pretend picture of one of my girls in order to get a good picture of the shirt. 🙂 The color inspiration came from a stack of hexies I've been collecting from swaps. I have over 200 hexies, so I had plenty to choose from. And I really love seeing the color spectrum on quilts. It makes my eyes happy. And, finally, I was inspired to actually make this quilt after the tsunami and earthquakes in Japan in March 2011. There was a call to make quilts for the survivors, and I really felt this was a good, clean aesthetic that a Japanese family might appreciate and enjoy.
Question: What is your favorite part of this quilt?
Melissa: Hmm… I think it was when I realized that the vision in my head was actually coming to fruition and was going to look good in real life! It doesn't always work out that way, you know? 🙂 But I do really love how it looked in the end.
Question: What did you learn from making this quilt?
Melissa: Well, I call it the TNT quilt because I Tried New Things. So many! From all the different techniques I tried, my favorite was learning to use the long arm. Personally, I think I learned that I can take something from a vision in my head to an actual quilt in a short period of time. And like it! I need to make more quilts that I like because when I'm making something I don't really like, I'm not as motivated to finish it.
Melissa blogs at We Shall Sew and can be found on Flickr as well. She started out as a proud member of the LA Modern Quilt Guild but, after her move to the Denver area she quickly helped to found the Front Range Modern Quilt Guild. As President, she is very happy to report that they are growing every month!

Burnett eyeing future?
From today's Chicago Sun-Times:
TORONTO — One day after beating the Cubs in Toronto, Blue Jays pitcher A.J. Burnett liked the idea of a trade to the Cubs so much he might as well have said, "Please."
"As of right now I'm a Blue Jay, and I'm going to pitch to the best of my ability as long as I'm part of this club," he said. "But if something were to happen and I'd have the opportunity to go to a place where baseball is breakfast, lunch and dinner, that would be awesome.
"Right now my focus is with this club, but if something like that were to happen, I'd accept it with open arms."
With six weeks to go before the non-waiver trading deadline, the Cubs' biggest need as they eye October is a veteran starting pitcher, preferably one capable of competing for a top-three spot in a playoff rotation.
A clear-cut frontline starter such as the Cleveland Indians' C.C. Sabathia might not even be available, much less attainable. But second-tier guys such as Burnett — who has good-enough stuff to be a lightning-in-a-bottle find if he gets on a two-to-three-month roll — are expected to be out there.
Granted, Burnett (he can opt out of his contract and become a free agent after this season) covers himself by saying his focus right now is on the Jays, but I don't know what his teammates might think about him publicly saying he wouldn't mind a trade to Chicago. Thoughts?
17 Comments
My thoughts are that the bluejays really suck! I havn't even followed this team this week because of the way they have been playing. If you look on mlb standings, it says that the jays expected wins/losses is 38-32. Just goes to show you how many games we have blown so far this season.
As for Burnett, I don't really know what we can do with this guy. I think our best bet would be to keep him. Some of you may say to trade him for a nice bat to spark this offence. But don't we have enough sparks that arn't sparking? After all we did add some guys to our mighty offence that isnt getting anything done only to not get anything done.
Trade him. He is going to opt out at the end of the year if they keep him and receive nothing in return (minus the 12mil or so we free up). Lets face it, this team isn't going anywhere this year with the way they are playing. It's just a matter of time before the Yanks are rolling and the Sox keep doing what they are doing which makes it a very daunting task for the Jays, especially when they can't hit. Trade Burnett for a young bat or in a package for a star ss, as I'm sure JP doesn't want to block out Snider's future spot in LF which besides ss is our only open position. Saying that, I wouldn't mind a guy like Dunn who could be a future DH. Holliday would be pretty good considering he is locked up for 09 10 I believe. Two years from an allstar would nice considering Snider is probably a couple years away.
Trade him to get SOMETHING in return.
I just want to know if he was asked about it or simply stated it ?
Trade him if they aren't in it by the all-star break. Otherwise keep him and try to make a run, it's the same as if he did or weren't to say that.
I would look at how much the Jays could get in return. Parrish is tearing up AAA as a starter and there might be a bat and a potential pitcher available for Burnett but I don't follow the Cubs system enough to know. It doesn't sound like Burnett is the dedicated "team" guy that's adding value in the locker room with comments like that, for sure. Bring Parrish up and roll the dice.
Trading Burnett would be giving up on this team, for this season. I would not be ready to do that just yet. We still have six more weeks to see if we are contending or pretending, and .500 baseball is just not going to cut it anymore. I'd like to see the Jays get that Notre Dame reciever in the Cubs system, Jeff Sarmadijia (sp?) maybe he could play reciever for the Argos too. They have some interesting prospects, if all we are going to do is dump Burnett?
To paraphrase from Bull Durham, Burnett has a million dollar arm, and a 5 cent head.
Nobody expects these guys to be brilliant with the media, and by all accounts he just answered the question honestly. And lets face it, the media needs some stories – it's not like the Jays have been shooting the lights out in June.
Toronto is not a baseball town, and never will be. Not as long as the Leafs straggle in with a near 8th place finish year upon year. Fans who need their ego stroked by these athletes in telling us "I love playing in Toronto, there's no place I'd rather be" are delusional. Go visit Chicago, St. Louis, etc… you'll see what "Baseball Towns" are like. I love the Jays, and am as stupidly diehard as they come. And even I want to see Burnett carry on with us. Should they trade him? If they want people to believe they care about winning – No. You don't give up talent, especially not at starting pitcher. Has anyone in the media noticed that aside from that silly fingernail incident he has managed to stay healthy?
We could dump him, get some draft picks, or some rental help with a bat – but the bottom line is this team has been treading water for too long. Either come clean and say "Skip it, we're gonna build a winner from inside" or go whole hog and take your fans for a wild ride into October (hell, I'd even take late August at this point). The Jays need to stop messing about and decide if they are contenders or not. And if we're already talking trade with a number 2/3 starter 2 weeks into June – we're not contenders.
Well said swagman. The thing about Burnett is he is healthy and yet his numbers still don't jump out as impressive. I'm a fan of the guy though, he's fun to watch when he's on but it hasn't happened often enough so far this year. Though his record should be a tad better then what it is.
By the way Jordan, seeing as how you enjoyed Iron Man (I did too) I think you should check out the Incredible Hulk of you get a chance. It's just as good as Iron Man, if not better. I never even liked the Hulk growing up but the movie was worth my time.
Dont trade AJ now! No team is going to give the Jays any real value for him in a trade during the season. May instead wait for him to opt out at the end of this season, and get 2 sandwich picks instead. And why is Lind in the minors? He should be playing LF for the Jays now. JP should let go Mench, Stewart, and Wilkerson, setting the stage for Lind in LF instead.
ENIGMA: I won't watch the Incredible Hulk until it's free on my ondemand. I can't stand the idea that Hollywood wants us to simply forget they JUST made a Hulk movie starring Eric Bana. So I'm not interested in seeing Hulk: Take 2. The Hulk himself looks a little too CGI for my taste, too. Maybe it's a decent flick, but I won't lay down my dough to see it in the theaters.
I did go see The Happening, which wasn't great, but it wasn't horrible if you go in with the mindset that M. Night tried to get an old Hitchock-type feel with a bit of over-the-top dramatic acting. The movie would've been better, in my opinion, if it was shot in black and white and billed as an old-style horror movie that doesn't mind not taking itself too seriously.
As for those bumbling Blue Jays, I personally think Burnett's comments were blown a little out of proportion, though I will say that such remarks were definitely ill-timed.
Catch you all from Milwaukee manana.
As soon as a player implies that he may want out, chances are it usually does get blown out of proportion. As long as he does what he can to help this team win now then I really don't care. Though people will talk about it here so i'll throw in my 2 cents.
As for The Hulk I actually had forgotten that they even made one not too long ago. That's how little I cared for Hulk. I read many reviews though and my girlfriend wanted to watch it, so I went and wasn't disappointed. It did have quite a bit of CGI, so considering that you're obviously not into that then I don't blame you for passing on it.
Burnett: I think he should be traded. I think even though we may not want to give up on the season its gone, also ya you could get 2 sandwich picks but I would rather get a talented SS and a decent/good prospect so it helps us now and in the future.
Trading Burnett is not giving up on this team… He is LEAVING at the end of the year plain and simple, so why not try to get a better deal than the 2 draft picks we receive for compensation???? With or without Burnett the Jays this team isn't going to the post season. Hope I'm wrong but it doesn't look good
I see your point about trading AJ to get *something* in return. I just think that doing so sends the wrong message to the Jays fans out there. But to be quite honest, most teams that are in contention are probably not desperate enough to give fair value for Burnett, and I'd rather see the Jays (if they ever plan to truly contend) do it the right way – build from inside by strong development/drafting like the way they had it back in the day. All your perennial contenders have figured it out – Boston, Oakland, Atlanta etc etc.. What's the harm in letting him show his stuff?? If he can pull off a great run in the second half, it ups his market value in his opt-out scenario, and we benefit from 16-18 starts from a man trying to set his future by outperforming his history. Who knows, if the bats turn around to what they can do it might be the missing ingredient. 1st round sandwich picks are not a bad scenario, and I think we'll see the fruits of that in the coming years from the '07 draft.
From our own history, we've not seen success from a rented player mid-term, excepting perhaps Doyle Alexander, Rickey Henderson – I just don't see 'getting anything' as a positive from this. JP pulled off a magic act once 'getting anything' with Accardo, but can lightning strike twice?
You are right 2 SANDWICH PICKS ARE GOOD…but frankly our drafting history under JP has been horrible, another thing is that who says that when we trade Burnett we can't get prospects?
I am sure we can probably deal Burnett and a strong reliever (since i think we have too many when they come back from DL) for probably a person who was drafted in the TOP 10 picks and a solid veteran.
Also its not necessary to trade Burnett but whats wrong with trying to see what others offer? If none of the offers are better than 2 Sandwich picks then leave them, if something is better then I say jump on it.
However to argue from the other side, if we trade him we would probably have to pick up some of his contract and if we keep him and the bats pick up then we are once again a solid team.
I'm not sure about having to pick up any of his contract though – by all accounts he's priced about right for his skill set (sadly enough). But you are right, IF a good deal is there – jump on it. However I wouldn't hold our collective breath. MLB teams are ruthless when they can smell blood in the water.
I agree with you about Riccardi lacking in the draft department . He has lost any credibility he may have had, with the lies he has told to ( MacDonald ,Fasano etc) and about players ( Ryan ) . He signed Thomas at an inflated price then releases him , the Jays picking up the 8 mil tab. He releases Johnson before giving him the oportunity to show he was healthy and playing as good or better than before . How can this team believe a word Riccardi says and how can they play for somebody they don't trust . This team needs a new management especially a new GM . They need to rebuild around a few core players .
As for Burnett , I believe he answered honestly . I had no problem with his answer until he said he didn't care what the fans think . He wants to be where they live and breath baseball yet he has no respect for those who do the living and breathing here , those who pay his salary, the fans. I think Burnett needs to be traded . He may put on a Jays uniform but he isn't a Jay at heart

I'm currently hosting my own website using Puppy and the Monkey webserver. If was ridiculously easy to set it up, compared with any of the other alternatives I could come up with. With Puppy, we also have dhttpd and a neet little ftp server available. I even built the site using Mozilla and Amaya. This distro rocks. The only thing I'm missing now is a mail server. I think that would be a great option, via pupget or a dotpup. I'd like to say I'll make the dotpup, but I'm not that smart yet. Soooooo......... calling on the smarter pups to implement this for me.

what's the FTP server on puppy? I don't remember seeing it in the default 1.0.3 liveCD. Is it an add-on pupget?
Does it allow puts? (uploading files?)
if samba fails for whatever reason on a particualr network, this could be usd for exchanging files with windows machines since htey can act as an ftp client.

Ok, I get the point. I should be a good citizen and give details. First to answer the ftp question, gtkftpd is available via pupget. I don't use it right now, but I'm sure someone here does if you're really curious. Now I should mention that I got Monkey working with the assistance of guest too. Right now you have two options in Puppy for serving up html. You can use nullhttpd, which is included in the distro and is there for use with quisp. this is probably the easier way. All you need to do is go to ~/ghttpd/htdocs and replace the provided index with yours and add any other pages or docs you want to serve. Then, in ~/ghttpd click on the icon for httpd and it will start the daemon. you shouldn't even need to change anything in the configuration file, it will already listen to any IP address on port 80. Personally, I wanted something a little more controllable. Monkey is available as a dotpup made by guest too. I'll post how I configured everything a little later today, as my wife is staring daggers at me for being on the computer again.

Post subject: Monkey as thin server
Here's my configuration, but first, a bit of theory. Basically, I believe that any server has the potential to be compromised, so instead of fighting it, I want to make it irrelevent. If you run Puppy live CD, it looks for pup001 at bootup. All pups probably know this. What I've done is gotten it and everything else configured, then backed up this file onto another disk. Periodically I reboot into another OS, wipe out the current pup001 file and replace it with my "clean" version. Then I reboot, and it's back to my original everything. If anyone DOES compromise my machine they are now gone. This probably isn't neccessary but I'm just paranoid.
Now monkey is a dotpup and installs just like any other dotpup. Once installed goto ~/my-roxapps and click the Icon to start it. It will then create a new directory ~/monkey,where all of the important files are kept including the main config file. Before going here I recomend you go back to my-roxapps and right click/look inside the monkey icon. Open up help and view the readme files, so you get some idea what you're doing.
Now, default is set to listen to port 51234. If you want to run Monkey on another port you have to edit the appropriate line in the config file AND you will have to initiate monkey as root. In order to do that go back to ~my roxapps right click/look inside monkey. Right click/open as text AppRun. Go down until you find a lin that says
su -c $SM nobody &
. This line tells monkey to start as user"nobody". To run it as root, chance the line to
. This will now let monkey start as root. You should also change
to open either your own IP address and port 80 or you can substitute your own domain name.
Now you have to edit a couple lines in the config file. Go to ~/monkey/conf and open the config file. Change the port to 80, change the server name to either your own IP or preferably your own domain. Place your pages in ~/monkey/public_html. Uncomment the line that says User nobody. The reason for this is that once the proccess has started, it will then switch from running as a proccess of ROOT to running as a process of nobody. This is a safer configuration and close to how Apache is usually started and run. You can now restart the daemon from the icon in my-roxapps. I dragged this icon to my desktop for convenience along with the directory containing the logs. If this sound like a lot of work, try running Apache with a Debian install.
You should now have a running server provided you've registered with and properly setup DNS. I won't go into that here, as it's not a strictly Puppy subject and you can find that info elsewhere.
I'm a photographer. To see the site I'm running with this setup go to
. Enjoy!

Thanks for the compliment. I don't know why the link doesn't work, but I guess it doesn't matter. I'm not trying to advertise here.
Still waiting on that mailserver idea.

Customer Reviews
Well I am very impressed with Molly Maid Service in Cloverdale. Your gals – who are polite & very, very hard-working – did a 'first class job'! Now my bathrooms and kitchen cupboards are sparkling.
I came home last night to a Christmas miracle! The cleaning elves (Molly Maid) left my house spic and span for Christmas! Best Christmas present ever!
I wanted to let you know that the girls did an awesome job on the house yesterday. They worked very hard.
I love my regular team, they are friendly and my house is always perfect!
I had the MOLLY MAID team in to do my basement suite and they did an incredible job. I was so happy that I have now set up monthly cleans for us in our new home.
My life is heaven now! It's a worry off my mind to know you'll be here each week and do a quality cleaning job. It allows me to work full-time and have time for my family too!
I just wanted to thank you for sending me the best Molly Maid team, Mryna and Debbie. They did a fabulous cleaning job of all the neglected areas (mirrors, etc.) and for the first time I felt I could actually walk bare foot on the floors, and they were very accommodating to a little dog and her various hang outs. I look forward to seeing them again in less than two weeks time. A very positive experience!
I was driving home from work, exhausted after a busy day when I remembered that MOLLY MAID had been in to clean the house today. I can't tell you the instant stress that is taken away knowing that I can sit back, relax, and enjoy. Thank you for the continued service.
You exceeded our expectations. Having worked 30 years in the service industry, I appreciate professional people who know their job and perform it well. The team was incredible. I wish I would have called you sooner to clean my home.
I wanted to treat myself… and what a treat it was to have MOLLY MAID in my home today. Very professional and thorough. Thank you!
The place looks terrific. I'm very impressed! Thank you!
I had two of your ladies in today for our first visit. They were very professional, polite and hard working. This is going to helps us out tremendously. I can't wait to see them back next week. Thank you!
Hi Shauna, I just returned from my vacation and was very pleased with the cleaning service you provided while I was away. Thank you.
Thank you again for such a great service. I am absolutely delighted with the results!
It was so nice coming home to a clean house! It looks great! Thanks.
Thank you for confirming my move-out clean. I am so appreciative of your service and how accommodating you have been over the years. I will be sure to recommend you! Thank you for all of your hard work.
Hi Shauna,
I just wanted to let you know what a great job Brenda and Shannon did on my home yesterday. We will definitely be using your services again in the future as we will need some cleaning done at my mother-in-laws house. Thank you for the thorough service on such short notice.
Just when I think I can't possibly get a better team, you go and surprise me! The team today was incredible! Thanks again for the excellent service!

I will definitely be using your services again in the near future and will be recommending you and your team to anyone who is looking for a cleaning service. Thanks again!
My wife and I engaged MOLLY MAID for cleaning services today. I feel compelled to communicate with you regarding their performance.

Hi Shauna
I just wanted to check in and say how happy it made me feel to come home to a clean house. Thank you and please thank the teams that clean my home.
This morning was crazy. I woke up late, ran around like a crazy person, and left for work with wet hair and my coat half on. No breakfast. When I finally came home I was instantly calm, my house looked awesome – as usual. The girls even made my bed which I had left in a mess! It actually made me cry it was so great. Thank you for going above and beyond and making the end of a frantic day peaceful.
The girls were lovely. Everything looks great! We are very pleased.
Shauna, your cleaning staff are awesome! I will be recommending them to everyone! Thank you kindly for all your help.

Please pass along our thanks to the team that was here this morning. Our Jenn Air cook top has never looked so clean and shiny. It as good as new! The cook top has been my job for the past year, and I thought I was doing a good job. I think I will need a lesson from the girls on how to clean it as good as them. Thank you!
I just loved the cleaning you did on my home! It was worth every penny! I will definitely be calling you before I move-out and perhaps before the showing. Thank you so much, you really reduced my stress levels!

Hi Shauna, I would definitely rate your service a 10/10! The team, as always, did a great job and always go the extra mile. We feel comfortable having them in our home as well. I wouldn't change a thing. Thank you so much!
MOLLY MAID is the best at what they do. The team came to my home for the final clean, prior to handing over the keys to the new owner, and did an awesome job! On a scale from 1 to 10 I would give MOLLY MAID a 15! I can't say enough to praise them. I will definitely being setting up a regular cleaning service with them at my new home. Bravo ladies!
The cleaning was awesome! The team was very friendly and polite. They left my home spotless – definitely a 10 out of 10! Thanks.
Thank you so much for the great service. We are very pleased with the team that cleaned our home. They did such a wonderful job. The team was efficient, pleasant to have in our home and did a really great job. Thank you!
Amazing service! These girls are meticulous and clean every nook and cranny. 100% professional and they're bonded and insured. The products they use are safe and regulated in Canada. Best of all, they have a name you can trust backed by a national Franchise. There are many unlicensed cleaning companies you'll find on Facebook that don't have the brand and the reputation that MOLLY MAID has. I can tell that the Franchise Owner, Shauna spends a great deal of time in selecting her team and she hires the best. These aren't your average cleaners, these girls know what they are doing and will manicure your house. I highly recommend them.
I just wanted to send a quick note thanking you as well as the AMAZING team you sent over today! Your professionalism, ability to book me in on such short notice as well as your teams amazing demeanour did not go unnoticed! I look forward to having you clean my home again in the near future. Thank you again!
Everything was fantastic from initial contact until the job was completed. I would rate you and your team 10/10 :). I will definitely be booking with you again and recommending you to anyone in need of a cleaning service. Thank you for being so kind and helpful over the phone and ensuring that your team is detail oriented with their work. The care and attention provided is beyond exceptional and really aided me and my husband during moving
Great job by your team yesterday, a 10/10! I really appreciate the great job the team did, but more so, how personable and accommodating they were. First Class! – Thanks very much.
Hi Shauna, I just wanted to let you know that the team you sent here today were fantastic! So friendly and nice, yet professional. They did such an amazing job cleaning my house! I am so thrilled with the service. Thank you so much!
Hi Shauna, Janice and I consider your service a 10! We are particularly pleased with the team assigned to us. Keep up the good work!

Thanks to Sonya of Only 100 Words for hosting #3LineTales. Thanks to Sarah of MindLoveMisery's Menagerie for hosting Saturday Mix's double take prompt using the words presence – the state of being present/ presents – gifts and holy – with religious significance/holey – perforated, with holes/ and wholly – fully, completely.

The variegated violet sky was an odd site in winter as rain was dangerous this time of year, an ominous icey presence; Jane turned the ring her boyfriend Finn had given her as a Christmas present and her engagement ring. His holy and reverent attitude towards his Great-Grandmother's wedding ring was strange, Jane thought, as she gazed at the large gleaming diamond and the holey pinpoints around the central diamond filled with tiny white diamonds too. She turned back to the window, staring at the sky outside and recalled telling Finn that all she wanted was a small purple diamond; Jane did not desire this heavy weight of history and duty that hurt her finger; it made the love she once wholly felt for Finn feel cheap and worthless — her preferences did not matter to him, she realized they never would.

Sofiane Feghouli started his professional footballing career as a 17-year-old, when he first played for Grenoble in France's Ligue 2. Described as the next Zinedine Zidane, Feghouli helped the club gain promotion in his second season and then - although still a teenager - he became a regular. Two serious injuries held him back temporarily, but he showed enough that La Liga club Valencia were determined to sign him, and although he struggled to break into the first team after his 2010 move, he has since become a regular.
In the last two seasons, the 22-year-old has caught the eyes of many scouts around Europe, with his potential fully on display in this term's UEFA Champions League, where he played in all six group matches and scored three goals in the process. Not surprisingly, his impressive performances in Spain and Europe have drawn transfer rumours from some of the continent's biggest clubs, and he was also targeted by Algeria, who invited him to play for the Desert Foxes. Although he had already represented France at junior level, he decided to follow the call and first played for the African side in February this year in a 2-1 win against Gambia.
"I was quite tense before my first steps with the national team. Coach Vahid Halilhodzic's first speech put the pressure on me. I knew I could not disappoint. And at the moment, everything is going well. I even scored in my first game. You cannot ask for more," he admitted recently.
Feghouli says that he has been particularly impressed with the tremendous support that the Algerians enjoy whenever they play. "The atmosphere in Algeria, for those who do not know, is amazing. It's almost a World Cup final when results are there. Fans are always there to support the team. It is fantastic. The stadium is already full at noon, hours before the kick-off. Playing in front of so many people is an amazing experience, especially when you are a young player taking your first steps in the team. It is chilling. Once the referee whistles, it seems that the crowd pushes you, it gives you an incredible strength," he said.
A very tough group
Incredible strength is probably something that Feghouli and his team-mates will need if they want to escape the group stages at January's CAF Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa. Drawn into Group D, the Desert Foxes will have to overcome stiff opposition from tournament favourites Côte d'Ivoire, Togo and local rivals Tunisia. The youngster knows that the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ finalists will have their work cut out for them if they want to reach the quarter-finals. "It is a tough group with very experienced nations. We know Côte d'Ivoire very well, so no need to be told a lot about them, but we beat them a few years ago [at the 2010 AFCON]. It will be difficult but we will play our football. Tunisia, with its local players, especially those from Esperance Tunis are a benchmark on the continental level. It will be a North African derby, which is always special. And Togo has a spirit of revenge after the tragedy of Cabinda."
We must be ambitious and well prepared above all. Our goal is to make it to the last eight.
However, the player is optimistic that the Fennecs can rely on the promise of youth. "We have a young team. It will be my first AFCON, and my ambition is to go as far as possible. With such a team-spirit we showed during the qualifiers, we can do great things. We have been consistent lately. With effort, we can move mountains, but we must go step by step. Many of our players will be in their first competition for their country, so each game will bring us experience. We want the national jersey to shine during the coming tournament. We do not want to miss this great event, so we must be ambitious and well prepared above all. Our goal is to make it to the last eight."
He reveals that is his own best motivator. "I set myself very high goals. I am very ambitious. I want to succeed and for that, I work a lot. I am satisfied with my performances for now, but I still can do more." Part of this growth has been his shift to playing out wide. "At the start of my career, I was a 'supporting striker' trying to make assists. Playing on the wing has helped me improve physically. I gained in speed and power. It is very positive for my career evolution."

Antioxidants are thought to protect cells in the body from oxygen damage. This damage is thought to play an important role in health problems like heart disease or cancer. Antioxidants include vitamins and substances such as beta-carotene, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, and selenium. Antioxidants can be easily found in a variety of foods, but they are also sold as supplements and marketed for their health benefits. However, not all research has indicated that these supplements independently, or combined, have health benefits. In fact, some studies have indicated that certain antioxidant supplements may do more harm than good.
Researchers from Cochrane Database completed a review of previous trials examining the benefits of antioxidants. The review, published in Cochrane Database, found that antioxidants were not associated with health benefits and a few were associated with increased risk of dying.
About the Study
The systematic review included 78 randomized trials with 296,707 adults. The trials evaluated the impact of antioxidants on death rates in adults. The average age of the participants was 63, but they ranged from 18 years old to 103 years old. The participants were healthy in 26 trials and had a stable disease in 52 trials. The supplements were given by mouth for an average of two years. The specific antioxidants involved included beta-carotene, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, and selenium.
In an overall analysis that included trials of all qualities, antioxidant supplements were not associated with reduced risk of death.
In an analysis of the 56 trials that were considered high quality:
- Antioxidants were associated with an increased risk of dying
- Beta-carotene and vitamin E were individually associated with an increased risk of dying
How Does This Affect You?
Systematic reviews are considered reliable forms of research because they pool large volumes of information from several trials. The number of high quality trials that were used in this review makes the results more reliable. Similar results have also been found in a previous systematic review.
Despite these findings showing no benefits with antioxidants and potential harm from some, health supplements are still a big business with claims of illness prevention. You may have chosen antioxidant supplements to booster a poor diet or simply because you want to be more healthy. If you are generally healthy, antioxidant supplements may not be as helpful as claimed. You may be better off getting them through a healthy balanced diet with a variety of fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, and lean proteins. Getting your antioxidants through diet may also decrease your chance of getting more of these substances than is needed. You may also save money by simply adding a few colorful fruits and vegetables to your diet rather than buying pills. However, certain medical conditions may require the use of supplements. In these cases, follow your doctor's recommendations.

I was fortunate to be able to attend both NGS and Jamboree this year. (I'm going to miss FGS.) Anyway, I learned a lot but I really need to process what was presented, organize my CDs and syllabus material, etc.
So, I'm working on going through my family files on the software programs and making sure that I have good sources for each fact. Since some of these were started before I became as aware of the importance of sources, I have lots of catching up to do.
Tina Lyons http://genwishlist.blogspot.com/ worked through her files by surname. I haven't quite figured out what to do later, but for now I'm going through my master location list and making sure that I have the correct counties for each town. It's a start. Of course I have 10 or 11 different family files so it's taking me quite awhile. And I have more than one software program so I have to work a little differently for each one.
I have google or yahoo open and put in a town and state and find out a county. Then I look in the Map Guide to the U.S. Federal Censuses, 1790-1920, and make sure that the county was there at the time period I'm working with. I have found that many times I can quickly make an adjustment to numerous files at once.
So, I hope you don't need to do this, but if you do need to make changes to locations, check out your software program and see how to make changes that will apply to each mention for that location. Good luck.

What happens when you approach the five gigabyte limit on Apple's new iCloud service?
Reportedly automatic backup will pause until you either delete content or purchase more space on the mostly free service.
The problem is how much more space will cost on Apple's cloud has not been released yet. Once users fill their cloud, they will be directed to the iCloud settings and told to purchase more storage.

text: Simulation lab creates innovative, collaborative learning experience for health professions students Carrie Hobbs was clearly confused – too confused to understand she was in the hospital and experiencing a serious health condition: heart failure. "We need to get your breathing under control. We're going to help you with that," Carrie's nurse told her while readjusting her blankets and waiting calmly as a pharmacist calculated an adjustment to Carrie's diuretic medicine. But Carrie's life wasn't really at risk. After all, this was just an exercise. And Carrie was a patient simulator. But that didn't lessen the importance of the students' work. This is the Rueckert-Hartman College for Health Professions' Simulated Health Center – a 12-room facility that replicates real-world scenarios in a hospital, clinic or at home. The facility, recently renovated and tripled in size, enables instructors and students outside the room to observe during the exercise. The scenario also can be recorded for later review. "It's a good way to practice in a safe environment without having real consequences," said Annie Howard, a student in the accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing program. The simulation lab also illustrates the college's growing emphasis on interprofessional education. Work is underway to identify and create more learning opportunities that bring together students from across the college's different disciplines. Ultimately, the shift is about continuing to position students to move patient care forward, said Sue Scherer, associate dean and chairwoman of the college's interprofessional education committee. "Improving patient care today and in the future will require different health professions to work together," she said. "Having these collaborative experiences as students is critical if they are to function as effective teams in clinical practice." Learn how Regis University can position you to help move health care forward.

The price of oil is down slightly in Veterans Day trading as amid uncertainty over a looming package of tax hikes and spending cuts that could hurt U.S. economic growth.
Benchmark oil fell 16 cents Monday to $85.91 per barrel in New York.
The combination of tax increases and cuts in government spending will take effect Jan. 1 unless President Barack Obama and Congress can reach a compromise to avert it.
Meanwhile, China's export growth accelerated in October, which is another sign of improvement in the world's second-largest economy. That could help support demand for oil and other commodities.
At the pump, the national average price for gasoline fell less than a penny overnight to $3.437 per gallon. That's nearly 37 cents less than a month ago.

Miami Heat
Miami Heat's LeBron James likely to wear facemask while nursing broken nose
LeBron James likely will wear a protective facemask during games for at least a few weeks after breaking his nose on Thursday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
James was fitted for a mask on Saturday after the Heat's practice and might sit out Sunday's game against the Bulls to allow his nose to heal and the swelling to subside. He broke his nose driving to the basket against Thunder forward Serge Ibaka, and a doctor reset the fracture on Friday, according to the team.
James attended practice on Saturday but did not participate. He practiced shooting afterward with a large bandage across the bridge of his nose, which provided some stability to the injury. In addition to having trouble breathing through his nose, James said he was experiencing a little bit of everything.
"Pain, headaches, whatever," James said. "I can get past it and hopefully get better the next couple days … but if not, we're not going to rush it. I'm not going to rush it."
Regarding Sunday's game, James called himself "a game-time decision — more probable than anything, but we'll see what happens."
James has worn a protective mask before. Early in his career, James fractured a cheekbone after being elbowed by Dikembe Mutumbo. He wore the mask for a few weeks, but it affected his game.
"It's nothing that you want to make long term," James said. "I'm still in awe of what [Richard] Hamilton was able to do for so long wearing it. It's very uncomfortable."
If James doesn't wear a mask, he would at least be forced to "go with this Humpty Dumpty thing I got on my face right now, and do my dance after I make a shot." James only wears the bandage during practice. He attended a movie Friday with his children without the band-aid.
James didn't miss any games after his facial injury with the Cavaliers, but "I was a 19-year-old recovering compared to a 29-year-old recovering, so it takes a little bit longer time." If James misses Sunday's game against Chicago, then he would have several more days to rest. The Heat doesn't play again until Thursday.
James left Thursday's game with about five minutes to play. He led all scorers with 33 points despite not finishing the game. James has averaged 37 points over his past four games, and the Heat is 7-1 in February. James said he thought Ibaka's shot to his nose "was accidental," but acknowledged the obvious.
"I thought it was a foul," James said. "I'll tell you that.
"He got me twice, but I was happy that our training staff was able to stop the bleeding once I got into the locker room, and the fact that I was on the road for so long and it happened on the last day before I came home was the worst thing about the shot."
The injury comes with the Heat playing arguably its best basketball of the season, but Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh said Saturday that the team would be able to adjust if James needed time to rest. Both Wade and Bosh scored 24 points against Oklahoma City.
"We just got to come in with a gameplan and try to go out there," Wade said. "On both ends of the floor, you can't make up for LeBron James. Someone will have to step up in a different form in a different way. Things will be done a little different but also a little similar."
Said Bosh: "He's Iron Man, but sometimes when you have a broke nose, you have to rest a little bit. So, he's just got to go rub some dirt on it or do whatever he does to get healthy."
Deadline.com reported Friday that James is pegged to star in Space Jam 2, but James apparently hasn't been approached about the idea. It's unclear if a script has even been developed for a potential sequel.
"That's news to me," James said. "I haven't heard anything about it. I've always loved Space Jam. It was one of my favorite movies growing up, and if I have the opportunity, then that would be great, but that's news to me."
A Marvel cartoon featuring voiceover work by Bosh is set to air on Disney XD from 8 to 8:30 p.m. on Sunday. The cartoon is called Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H., and the episode will feature Hulk and friends taking on Thor. Bosh will play the part of Asgardian Heimdall, who is the all-seeing guardian of the Bifrost.
Bosh said he was in studio for "about three hours" last summer and did plenty of research on his character.
"I had auditioned for a couple different studios, and I got some calls back," Bosh said. "I guess they thought I could do a pretty good job, and we'll see [Sunday]."

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ill. - Senior Anne Marie May finished her UCSB swimming career by finishing 37th in the nation in the 100 freestyle with a time of 49.71 at the NCAA Division I Women's Swimming and Diving Championships at Purdue's Boilermaker Aquatic Center.
May was seeded 26th overall in the event with her season-best time of 49.21 seconds, but touched a little slower on Saturday, the third and final day of competition.
During her illustrious collegiate career, May earned All-American honors in 2008 and 2009 and also competed nationally at the 2008 Olympic Trials.
May was named Big West Freshman of the Year in 2007 and Big West Female Swimmer of the Year in 2008 and 2010.
She currently holds the Big West Conference record in the 200 and 400 medley relays. She also holds Big West and UCSB individual records in the 50 and 100 freestyle.
The Carmel, Calif. native was the Big West Champion in the 50 free four consecutive seasons and was a three-time conference champion in the 100 free, but was unable to compete in the event at this year's championships due to an injury.
May also competed in the 50 free at the NCAA Championships. She took 20th on Thursday with a time of 22.52.

Todd was a hero even more so than those among us who used his name for personal gain. There is good and evil and he stood with our good angels. There is not much difference from the evil actions of those who declared war on our way of life and individuals in our country again, that took advantage of this tragedy for personal gain.
He will be a hero for all time.

Maybe I'm reading too much into this (or perhaps just don't understand it), but does this look like a passive aggressive snipe at another Sim beneficiary? Maybe evidence of infighting between payoff recipients.

The UMBC men's soccer team continues its three-game homestand on Saturday, Sept. 28 when they host George Washington at Retriever Soccer Park. At 8-0-0, the 11th-ranked Retrievers own the best record in the nation and will try to match the program's longest winning streak to start a season when they take on the Colonials. UMBC is coming off its first shutout victory of 2013, a 1-0 triumph over George Mason on Wednesday, while the Colonials (3-4-0) have not competed since a 3-0 setback at Navy last Saturday. Kick-off time is set for 7:00 p.m. Live stats and free live video (www.umbcretrievers.tv) are available for the contest and all UMBC home soccer matches in 2013.
Dating back to 2012, UMBC is now unbeaten in its last 17 contests (14-0-3) and has outscored their opponents, 42-11, in that span. It is the longest unbeaten streak since 1999, when that championship squad went 19-0-2 in the regular season.
The Retrievers have captured the America East title and advanced to the second round in the NCAA Championships twice in three seasons. The 2012 season marked UMBC's third NCAA College Cup appearance overall, having earned a bid in 1999.
Entering play this weekend UMBC and Delaware share the national lead in goals scored with 23 each.
SR Pete Caringi III is second nationally in points per game (2.50) and third in goals per game (1.13), while JR M Geaton Caltabiano is second in assists (7) and third in assists per game (0.88).
The Retrievers moved up nine slots to 8th in the Top Drawer Soccer poll and remained at 21st in College Soccer News' poll. UMBC made its debut in the Soccer America poll at No. 25 (tied) and is No. 11 in the Continental Tire/NSCAA Coaches' poll for games ending Sept. 22, 2013.
For the first time in school history, UMBC was ranked No. 1 in its (Northeast) region (NSCAA).
In games through Sept. 23, UMBC was also ranked No. 1 in the nation for NCAA Division I college soccer programs in the Massey Ratings. The Massey Ratings utilize actual game scores and margins in a diminishing returns fashion.
The current eight-game winning streak ties the third-longest in school history. The 1991 Retrievers also won eight straight contests. There have been two greater streaks- nine in a row in 2009 and 13 consecutive in 1999.
UMBC is 33-4-13 (.790) in August/September home games since the 2003 season.
After opening the season with a 2-1 mark, George Washington has dropped three of its last four contests. The Colonials have not played since a 3-0 setback at Navy on Sept. 21.
SR F Tyler Ranalli has excelled to date, leading the Colonial offense with five goals and three assists. Ranalli posted a hat trick and added an assist in GW's 4-0 victory over VMI on Sept. 14.
GW has three shutouts on the season and SO GK Jean-Pierre van der Merwe has been in the nets for all 630 minutes of action. He has a 1.29 goals against average and has recorded 23 saves.
UMBC and George Washington have not met in Baltimore since the 2004 season when the Retrievers posted a 3-0 victory. The two sides renewed the series last season and the Retrievers rallied for a 2-1 victory. UMBC erased an early 1-0 deficit, scored twice in a five-minute span, and finished strong to defeat host George Washington, 2-1, at GW Soccer Field on Sept. 22. JR B Jordan Becker was credited with the game-winning goal.
UMBC leads the overall record at 7-4-3 and they have been victorious in the last four meetings.
UMBC concludes the homestand on Tuesday, Oct. 1 in what could be an offensive shootout at Retriever Soccer Park. Delaware visits UMBC at 7:00 p.m. in a match-up of two of the nation's top offenses and two of the top scorers in the nation in the Retrievers' Pete Caringi III and the Blue Hen's Guillermo Delgado.

Naomi Watts has opened up about the years of rejection she faced before achieving success in Hollywood.
Before her breakthrough role in 2001's Mulholland Drive, Watts toiled for a decade as a barely employed actress.
The English-born, Australian-raised actress recognises that the critically acclaimed movie directed by David Lynch was the turning point of her career even though she had been going "at it" for 10 years.
She says after making the decision to pack up her life in Australia to pursue her acting career in the US, Watts was faced with the reality that success in Hollywood wouldn't come easy.
"As all Australians do, when you get enough money in the bank, you go on the road and America was the first stop and I had some contacts and I called and met up with those people and they were all overwhelmingly positive, little did I know it was smoke and mirrors," Watts told The Hollywood Reporter.
Watts was one of seven thespians who were part of The Hollywood Reporter's Actress Roundtable.
Others taking part in the discussion - which touched on subjects such as their biggest fears and their worst auditions - were Helen Hunt, Anne Hathaway, Amy Adams, Rachel Weisz, Marion Cotillard and Sally Field.
"I had little things along the way that kind of kept hooking me in, each time that I thought this is too much, I can't take it, I'm going to quit, I would get some opportunity and you know it seemed like it came with promise but didn't work out," Watts said.
For Watts the experience shattered her childhood dreams of life as an actress.
"I didn't know that acting was a job or anything I just knew (as a child) that is was fun to play pretend. I remember being in school plays and feeling that but it took me a while to figure out it was a paying job."
The 44-year-old is being tipped as a possible awards contender for her role in The Impossible.
The harrowing film is based on the true story of one British family's trip to a beach resort in Thailand, where they were torn apart when a massive tsunami engulfed the nation's coastline in 2004.
Watts plays mother Maria Belon and has confessed making the film was "one of the most physically demanding things" she's ever done as much of film takes place in water.
The Impossible premiered in London on Monday. It is scheduled for release in Australia on January 24.

hi folks,
to handle the mirc/rush conversation properly a new dll would be nice.
and a callback from rush to mirc.
i would love to get detailed information from rush which tab/id is opened and closed, to handle the transfertabs.
the problem now is, rush hang sometimes. if u send too "many" transfers to rush (i guess thats why), it can happen an error occours (eg max logins reached, ssl error, network subsystem error.. etc..) so the dir or file which had to be transfered is still in the active transfertab but nothing happens. a 50x script and close all script doesnt work here.
if we would knew the right id for the tabs, it would be much easyer to run rush smooth withouth killing it to get the tabs clear ! dont put this in the wrong place, i knew to open tab1, tab2 etc.. but i dont want to work with fix already opened tabs/ids. this should be generated by rush and submitted to work further with it.
named short:
- tab-id callback from rush (to rushmirc.dll)
- function to close tab by unique id (from callback)
- new rushmirc.dll with those command features
- settable tablifetime in rush (lifetime<=0time -> close tab, no matter if active OR not) // this would do the job for nonscripters
- settable tablifetime in rush (lifetime<=0transfered queue -> close tab, no matter if active OR not) // eg. transfer 50x then close tab.
it is essential that the tab is closed by rush no matter if a transfer is still active or something is in the queue.
right now: its not possible to close tabs while the tab is still active (with error stat look above)
i suppose a x64/multi core support would be nice either.
- 4 cores+
- 4gb ram+
i hope u guys implement this.
to gettin happy xD

This Thanksgiving, we're thankful for Daniela Cicarelli. If you think this 32-year-old MTV Brazil host and model is out of your league, think again. She married soccer legend Ronaldo back in 2005. Granted, she later divorced his fat ass 86 days into the marriage but you get the point. The dude is not a looker and he was able to bag this hottie.

Phytomedicines (medicines derived from plants) for sickle cell disease
Review question
We reviewed the evidence about the effect and safety of phytomedicines in people with sickle cell disease of all types, of any age, in any setting.
Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood condition caused by defects in the production of haemoglobin. Haemoglobin is the part of the red blood cell that carries oxygen across the body. Sickle cell disease occurs when people inherit faulty genes responsible for producing haemoglobin from both parents. A variety of complications and a reduced life expectancy are linked with sickle cell disease. Phytomedicines are medicines derived from plants in their original state. People with sickle cell disease may come across them in terms of plant-remedies from traditional healers. Their benefits have not been evaluated systematically. Laboratory work has long suggested that these medicines may help to ease the symptoms of sickle cell disease.
Search date
The evidence is current to: 24 August 2017.
Study characteristics
Two trials (182 participants) and two phytomedicines Niprisan® (also known as Nicosan®) and Ciklavit® were included.
Key results
This review found that Niprisan® may help to reduce episodes of sickle cell disease crises associated with severe pain. Ciklavit®, which has been reported to reduce painful crises in people with sickle cell disease, deserves further study before recommendations can be made regarding its use. The trial of Ciklavit® also reported a possible adverse effect on the level of anaemia. Both formulations reported no serious adverse symptoms or derangement of liver or kidney function in the participants. More detailed and larger trials of these medicines will need to be carried out before we can make any recommendations about their use. Further research should also assess long-term outcome measures.
Quality of the evidence
We judged the quality of the evidence from this review to be of low to very low quality, depending on the outcome measured.

The show: "Owners" at Yale Repertory Theatre in New Haven
What makes it special?: Early full length play by British playwright Caryl Churchill
First impressions: The political, social and gender-charged themes and daring imagination that make Churchill one of the leading theater writers are in evidence in this 1972 work. But the playwright hadn't quite mastered the economy of writing in this unfocused but still engaging effort that receives a satisfactory production at the Rep. But at nearly two-and-a-half hours running time, the eccentric and symbolic characters wear out their welcome by intermission.
What's it about? If Ayn Rand decided to become a realtor she'd be Marion (Brenda Meaney). Forceful, single-and-self-minded, insatiable and indifferent to others, she's the type of dynamo that Margaret Thatcher would love, especially when she says things like: "We men of destiny get what we're after even if we're destroyed by it."
"We men?": Savvy gender point here. Possession is historically a male right, and playfully put on its head here.
Sounds like a great character: She is but rather a one-note one.
And the plot?: The real estate market in London is hot, hot, hot and Marion is making a killing. Meanwhile, her neglected husband Clegg (Anthony Cochrane), a butcher who longs for the day when the man of the house was master of his mate, spends much of his day fantasizing about her demise. That's something Marion's protégé Worsely (Joby Earle) understands, having failed at suicide on multiple occasions — a running gag that has the character increasingly diminished.
When Marion is blocked by her efforts to purchase a coveted property owned by Lisa (Sarah Manton) and Alec (Tommy Schrider), Marion's former lover who has found bliss in his zen-like life of dispossession, the realtor uses extreme measures, taking over the couple's baby to get what she wants.
Sounds disturbing: That's the right word given Churchill's sharp-eyed take on theater of the absurd. But the playwright hadn't quite found her own voice or mastered her craft that she would later demonstrate in works like "Mad Forest," "Serious Money," "A Number," "Cloud Nine" and "Top Girls''.
Though her bold fearlessness is clearly in evidence here, other writers come to mind as well: the spirit of anarchy of Joe Orton, the shock effects of Edward Bond and the capitalism-is-evil theme of Bertolt Brecht.
And the production?: Under Evan Yionoulis' direction, the cast performs well, especially Meany's mad Marion and Earle as her quirky associate. Joel Abbott's sound design and Seth Bodie's costumes nicely evoke the era, too.
Who will like it?: Churchill fans eager to see how the writer first explored her art and craft. Century 21 agents. Donald Trump.
Who won't?: Those fans who admire the economy of her more accomplished works.
For the kids?: The anti-materialism theme may attract some teen rebels.
Twitter review in 140 characters or less?: Possession is power in interesting-but-entangled early work by a future great playwright.
Thoughts on leaving the parking lot?: Presenting early and imperfect work of great playwrights is always a noble pursuit — and what better venue than a university theater to do that? But it often takes an inspired director and cast to transcend the material's shortcomings.
The basics: Continues at the 1120 Chapel St. theater through Nov. 16. Running time is 2 hours and 25 minutes, including one intermission, Performances are Tuesdays to Fridays at 8 p.m.; Saturdays at 2 and 8 p.m. and an additional matinee on Wednesday, Nov. 6 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 to $98.

Thanksgiving on Breezy Point: Terri Dodge and her fiancee Steve Peterson drove from Portland, Maine to Breezy Point, NY on Wednesday to cook Thanksgiving dinner for up to 30 people.
In the weeks since Superstorm Sandy sent a wall of water through Breezy Point and more than 100 homes burned to the ground, the battered neighborhood in Queens, N.Y., has seen a flurry of activity with relief workers, volunteers and utility crews creating traffic jams on the one road into town.
Thanksgiving Day in Breezy Point started with a few residents still cleaning up and dozens of crews working on the natural gas lines, but little else happening -- except over by the Point Breeze Volunteer Fire Department where Terri Dodge and her fiancee Steve Peterson were in high gear cooking dinner in the parking lot.

Steve Peterson adjusts the heat under a deep fryer as a large turkey cooks.
Dodge and Peterson, who were recently engaged, drove from Portland, Maine, to Breezy Point on Wednesday and slept in their rented van next to the canned vegetables and coolers in the fire department's parking lot.
Thursday morning they started cooking for a guest list that kept getting longer. "First it was seven people, then we added 17 and now we're up over 30," Terri said as she carved one of eight turkeys.

A deep-fried turkey is placed in a cooler to keep it warm until dinner is served.

Terri Dodge served up Turkey, mashed potatoes, green beens, yams, stuffing, gravy and a canned pork item grilled with maple syrup dubbed "Hurricane Ham"
Improvisation and outdoor cooking is not new for Terri and Steve. The couple run "A Lobster Affair" catering company in Portland, but cooking next to a flooded car in the middle of a town recently devastated by Sandy has offered some challenges. "We had to use bottle water to cook the potatoes - that was fun." The biggest challenge? "We need more side dishes, " she said as she mashed a pot full of steaming potatoes.

About 60 volunteers, police and firefighters enjoy a Thanksgiving meal prepared by Teri Dodge and her fiancé Steve Peterson at the Point Breeze Fire Department in Breezy Point, New York, Nov. 22.

Ryan Pascuzzi, left, a cadet with the New Rochelle Fire Department, hands out turkey sandwiches to Finbar Devine, center, Tim O'Malley and Tom Ball on 216th Street in Breezy Point.
"You've got to do your part" Pascuzzi said. "We're going to be devoting our lives to helping other people, we might as well start with a tragedy down here."
"This is my community," Bruno added. "I've been down here every weekend doing what I can, pumping out people's basements. It makes your day when someone gives you a hotdog, a hamburger or a sandwich while you're working trying to do your part. I've been on that side of working and doing the construction and now it's time for me to come down here and do what I can."
John Makely / NBC News
John Dalton, left, and his nephew Al Dalton salvage items from a neighbor's house before the home is razed. The second floor furniture was moved to Dalton's house at the owner's request.
Elsewhere in Breezy Point, John Dalton was salvaging bedroom furniture for a neighbor whose house will be razed. "I'm thankful that no one got killed in this area," Dalton said.
In a neighborhood hard-hit by Sandy, even people who are storm victims themselves find ways to bring Thanksgiving to others. NBC's Kate Snow reports.

Arabs bulldozing stampede corpses; fakePosted: September 28, 2015 Filed under: World News | Tags: 24 September stampede, Arabs bulldozing, Arabs bulldozing corpse fake, Stampede fake image, stampede fake photos Leave a comment
On 24 September 2015 Saudi Arabia has witnessed the worst Stampede during Hajj after 1990 stampede. This deadliest incident took lives of as many as 1000 pilgrims and injuring a thousand more.
Reaction to this incident was not welcoming especially countries like Iran whose leader Khamenei asked Saudis for apology on mishandling the pilgrims.
On the other hand social media had shown outrage to criticise the incident by every means. Amidst this criticism a controversial image of stampede has gone viral which shows Saudis bulldozing the corpses of stampede victims. The image was shared and reshared many times on Facebook and Twitter even by some well known celebrities and public figures.
The bulldozing picture has been a source of strong case in favor of critics but to spoil the taste, the picture was fake.
This is the image which has gone viral doesn't even belong to the stampede incident.
Firstly it has a water-mark which refers to the website which doesn't even exist. The site has been renewed on 28 September after many months.
Secondly and most importantly the image was up there on internet even before 24 September the day stampede happened.
Lahj news which is an Arabic news Media had published this picture on 12 September following the crawler crane falling incident on 11 September.
The picture is up on social media even earlier than 12 September anyways which shows it doesn't belong to 24 September stampede incident. On having a closer look at the image it shows the crane is not carrying the bodies but the raw construction material material.
The other image showing people piled off by one side doesn't prove that they were piled using a bulldozer. Besides the video (mobile made video leaked by a pilgrim) shows when pilgrims rushed, the fell on one another and piled after suffocated to death.
Though this incident was a failure of management authorities and mishandling of Hajj duty personnels, the images shared are fake. No authentic source has confirmed the usage of bulldozer to lift the dead bodies.
Fifty years of war, a dire catastrophe worths not to celebratePosted: September 6, 2015 Filed under: Kashmir, Pakistan | Tags: 1965 war, India, India and Pakistan, Kashmir, pakistan Leave a comment
Seventy years are about to pass and we are in grave need of revising our history. Glorifying wars without being accustomed to their horrific consequences is a prevalent norm among our societies.
Now two nations India and Pakistan the all time rivals are to celebrate fifty years of a catastrophic battle which lasted for several days resulting mass casualties on both sides. To imagine how horrendous that war was it is enough to state that it was the second largest tank war after the World War Two.
There is a more resounding reason to not to celebrate this war, which is the immigration of 40,000 Kashmiris from Indian held Kashmir to Pakistan held Kashmir and other regions of Pakistan. They fled the war hit zone, mostly LOC and its surroundings to seek refuge in a peaceful place.
My father was one of those refugees who migrated to Azad Kashmir along with his Family. My grandfather who was known as Qazi, a word for respected members of village there was living a happy and prosperous life before war hit there. Leaving all the luxuries of home, their properties, their cattle and all belongings behind when they reached Pakistan held Kashmir, they had not even water to drink. They used to drink water from polluted Mangla Dam reservoir. The hope they came with was the betterment which they never witnessed and till today, after the passage of five decades those immigrants have not seen their hopes come true. From grandfathers to sons and grandsons and now great grandson are yet to get what their ancestors dreamt for.
We lost our first generation, ruined the second and now third generation is still facing the consequences of the war-forced migration. Those 40,000 immigrants are about 1 million now after 5 decades and hope what we and our ancestors have faced should never be witnessed by anyone else in the world.
This is what wars do to the humanity and we find no reasons to celebrate a war whose consequences are faced by our generations.
We expect India and Pakistan start another war. A war against poverty, a war against injustice and a war of peace.

Australia won the WorldCup 2015 and has become the only team to win this title 5 times.
WorldCup Final
WorldCup final was between The host teams Australia and New Zealand which reached WorldCup Final for the first time.
Australian Controversial pic viral on social media
Though Australia have won the WorldCup but it left some controversies over host team. As Australian players are well known for their sledging in the game.
The pic which went viral on social media depicts how Australian players making fun of a Kiwi's batsmen and compared with the attitude and good manners of Kiwis player.
Here is another thing worth quoting that Earlier in the Quarter final an Australian player S. Watson was charged 15% match fee for the violation of code.
Anyways! Congratulations to Australian team for winning the mega event.
