We opened our first pizzeria in 2004 in the burgeoning Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. Months before we opened, curious onlookers poked their heads in the former auto body shop, and outlandish rumors spread quickly throughout Seattle. One person saw a team of masons reportedly flown in from Naples to build a gargantuan wood-fired oven, someone heard that the bricks also came from Naples rich with Vesuvian ash, a reporter ran a story about a taxi driver leading our owner down a dark Neapolitan street to meet a talented pizzaiolo who was then whisked to an airport….
As it turns out almost all of the tall tales are true – on opening night people began lining up for the authentic Neapolitan pizza and since then our ovens have only gotten busier. Via Tribunali has been called "more authentic than the pizzerias of Naples," and even though that is a flattering exaggeration, it is fair to say that our pizzerias have grown out of an almost unnatural passion for the food and wine of Southern Italy.
While extraordinary food is critical for all great restaurants, another aspect of success is choosing the perfect location.That's why you'll find Via Tribunali restaurants in the most charming, thriving and eclectic parts of the cities we're located in, choosing these particular spots to keep up with the demand of authentic Italian in each neighborhood. We take pride in representing these communities based on the personality of the surroundings, and enjoy meeting a diverse group of people who value fabulous Italian food.

Bush: U.S. to Send More Military Police to Baghdad
By Gerry J. Gilmore
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, July 25, 2006 - Additional U.S. military police will deploy to Baghdad to serve alongside Iraqi law enforcement officers, President Bush said here today following a White House meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
The move is part of a new strategy to stem stepped up insurgent violence plaguing the city.
"This plan will involve embedding more U.S. military police with Iraqi police units to make them more effective," Bush said in a news briefing.
The reinforcements will be sent to Baghdad in coming weeks from other parts of Iraq, Bush said.
"Our military commanders tell me that this deployment will better reflect the current conditions on the ground in Iraq," he said.
Maliki is in Washington to discuss Iraq strategy with Bush and other senior U.S. officials. He concurred that more U.S. troops are needed in Baghdad.
A second tier of the new strategy aims to provide Iraqi security forces, especially police, with better equipment and tactics.
"We have agreed that building the security and military institutions in Iraq in terms of numbers, equipment, firearms -- and as quickly as possible -- represents the fundamental base in order to stabilize the country and to have security and defeat terrorism," Maliki said.
Bush echoed Maliki's assessment. "Iraqi security forces need better tools to do their job," Bush said. "And so we'll work with them to equip them with greater mobility, fire power and protection."
The key to defeating the insurgency in Iraq is to remain on the offense, including in Baghdad, Bush said.
Although he acknowledged that current insurgent actions -- including bombings, murders and kidnappings -- are challenging coalition and Iraqi security forces in Baghdad and some other areas, Bush remained upbeat. "No question it's tough in Baghdad, and no question it's tough in other parts of Iraq," he said. "But, there are also places where progress is being made, and the prime minister and I talked about that progress."
Iraqi security forces are growing and gaining in capability, Bush said.
Maliki noted that Iraqi police recently took over security control in Muthanna province. "This is a very important step (and) will be followed by similar steps in many other governorates in Iraq," he said.
Bush and Maliki agreed to establish a joint committee to achieve Iraqi security self-reliance. The new security partnership "will seek to ensure the smoothest and most effective assumption of security responsibility by the Iraqi forces," Bush said.
Maliki said he appreciated the United States' assistance and the sacrifices made by its servicemembers.
"We are determined to defeat terrorism," Maliki said. He added that Iraq wants to join the international community.
Bush said America is firmly in Maliki's camp.
"Prime Minister Maliki was very clear this morning," the president said. "He said he does not want American troops to leave his country until his government can protect the Iraqi people.
"And, I assured him that America will not abandon the Iraqi people," Bush said.

As the cold months sets in, Ryan Hirons reveals how to make sure your motor is ready to face the elements.
Winter is well and truly here now. It's the time of year when we flock for new coats, scarves and cosy bedding, among other things, to keep ourselves warm and ready for the rougher months.
What about our cars, though? Much like ourselves, they're sensitive to changes in weather conditions, so it's only right to prepare your motor for the cold season.
Here's our guide for preparing your car for winter...
Why should I prepare my car for winter?
As temperatures drop and the weather becomes harsher, it's crucial to have your car prepared, not only to improve its longevity, but also for your own safety.
Colder conditions mean less road grip, as well as the potential for car fluids to be less effective if not correctly maintained.
Where should I start?
One of the easiest ways to prepare your car for winter is through some really simple maintenance checks.
Ensuring screen wash is topped up is one of the most basic and crucial things you can do. Insufficient levels of screen wash could leave you in poor weather conditions with no way to clean the windscreen on the go, leaving you with a windscreen that could reach dangerously low levels of visibility.
Having a fully working battery is another simple way to prepare, as it may be harder than usual to start a car in the colder months with a worn battery. Having jump leads is a pretty good fail-safe, too.
Servicing your car just before the winter months is always a good option, as fresh vital components, such as brake pads and windscreen wipers, will be much more effective over winter than worn, potentially dangerous parts.
Plus, washing your lights is a good, quick idea - ensuring maximum visibility.
Should I get anything extra for my car?
Although most cars can work just as well through the winter with out-of-the-factory parts, there are a number of things you could add to your motor to make the winter months a bit easier.
Winter tyres are a good starting point. They operate at a lower working temperature compared with all-season and summer tyres, allowing them to be more effective in colder conditions.
A homemade winter essentials kit is a great, cost-efficient idea too. Fill it with basics such as de-icer and an ice scraper for those mornings when things are particularly frosty, as well as some gear in the event of breakdowns - such as a high-visibility jacket, snow grips for shoes, a torch, plus as emergency snacks and a power bank for your mobile devices, in case you're stranded for quite some time.
Finally, take extra caution on the roads. You'll be dealing with potentially more dangerous conditions, so provide more space for other motorists and maybe even keep yourself topped up with a warm drink and a good temperature inside the car.

Hardy provides power, but O's fall to Twins
Right-hander Hammel sharp until seventh; early misplay costly
BALTIMORE -- If the Orioles are going to follow up on the success of 2012, they are going to have to get better starting pitching and find a way to win close games at home.
Instead, the O's -- fresh off a series win at the Rays -- dropped two of three to Minnesota, including Sunday's 4-3 defeat that puts them at 3-3 as they board a plane for a road trip to division rivals Boston and New York.
"Obviously, you want to win series, that's how you get deeper into the year with a good chance of playing in October," said starter Jason Hammel, who struggled with fastball command and had a key defense gaffe behind him in a 6 2/3-inning outing.
"Last year, we started off 3-0 and then we lost three straight to the Yankees. So it's not new territory. We're right where we need to be, playing tight ballgames, as usual. Boston's going to be ready for us when we get there. It's a series loss, but there's still plenty of baseball left."
Hammel didn't look particularly sharp on Sunday, allowing four earned runs on four hits and three walks with two hit batters in an uncharacteristically wild 88-pitch outing. But his outing, which marked the fourth time in five games the Orioles have failed to record a quality start, wasn't helped by a third-inning flub that allowed a pair of runs to score.
There were several early defensive miscues on both sides, with a crowd of 34,431 at Camden Yards enjoying a cloudless sky that made it difficult to track balls in the air. After Hammel, who cruised through two innings, allowed a pair of walks and a hit-by-pitch to load the bases with two outs, Justin Morneau hit a routine fly ball. But it dropped in between Adam Jones and Nolan Reimold, in a head-scratching play that allowed the Twins to close the O's lead to 3-2.
"It went in the sun and I missed it," Jones said of the play, in which he pointed at Reimold for assistance at the last second. "Could have got around it better. It was a mistake. Cost us a couple runs. Hammel is out there giving his heart out and a play like that you've got to make it, pretty much."
"I assumed [Jones] had it," said Reimold, who left the game in the seventh with right hamstring tightness. "By the time he said he needed help, it was a little bit too late. I tried to sprint over and get it, but it was a little bit too late."
Hammel didn't let that inning get out of hand, but the 30-year-old right-hander, who said his stuff was a little better on Sunday than his Opening Day start against the Rays, couldn't shut the door in the seventh and allowed another pair of runs. After plunking Trevor Plouffe and giving up a single, the Twins bunted the pair up a base and used a sacrifice fly and Aaron Hicks' single to take the lead.
"He gave a real good chance to win today," manager Buck Showalter said of Hammel, who had Morneau's ball charged as a two-run double. "He could have easily had six or seven shutout innings, but it didn't happen. That's part of it."
Former Twin J.J. Hardy got Baltimore on the board with a two-run homer in the second. The O's, who dropped to 0-3 in one-run games, added a third run on Nick Markakis' two-out single but couldn't deliver the knockout blow on Twins lefty Pedro Herndandez, who was making his second career start. Hernandez, starting with Cole De Vries on the disabled list, lasted five innings, as the Orioles offense -- which has carried the team in the season's first week -- was unable to break things open after the three-run third.
Hernandez exited after five innings in favor of Anthony Swarzak, who went 1 1/3 scoreless innings for the win. The Orioles got a pair of one-out hits in the seventh from Alexi Casilla and Markakis, but Manny Machado popped out and red-hot Chris Davis grounded out. Davis had his streak of five straight games with an RBI to start the season -- one short of tying a club record -- snapped after going 0-for-4.
The Orioles will now head to Boston for the Red Sox home opener.
"It's important," Jones said of picking it up in Boston. "You've seen the last couple days, you look on the scoreboard today. They had 13 runs and they put them up quick, too. I think they are swinging the bats. We've got to go out there -- we have got [Wei-Yin] Chen throwing tomorrow, I believe -- and spoil their Opening Day.
"The more people, the more you want to shut them up. That's how I look at it. I don't care, they can stand up the whole game. They do anyway. But when you can silence 40,000 people, it's pretty cool."

The Pigasus Award is the name of an annual tongue-in-cheek honor recognized by noted skeptic James Randi. The awards seek to expose parapsychological frauds that Randi has noted over the previous year. Randi usually makes his announcements of the awards from the previous year on April 1.
The awards are announced via telepathy, winners are allowed to predict their victories, and the Flying Pig trophies are sent via psychokinesis. We send; if they don't receive, that's probably due to their lack of paranormal talent.
In Flim-Flam!, Randi states:
"The trophy consists of a stainless-steel spoon bent in a pleasing curve (paranormally, of course) and supported by a base of plastic. Please note that the base is flimsy and quite transparent. I am personally responsible for the nomination of the candidates. The sealed envelopes are read by me, while blindfolded, at the official announcement ceremony on April 1. Any baseless claims are rationalized in approved parapsychological fashion, and the results will be published immediately without being checked in any way. Winners are notified telepathically and are allowed to predict their victory in advance." (Randi 1982:327-28)
The bent spoon trophy is a reference to Geller's claimed spoon-bending abilities.
The logo of a winged pig was designed for Randi's website by German artist Jutta Degener in 1996. The name "Pigasus" was chosen by Randi from suggestions e-mailed to him. The term is a portmanteau pun combining the word pig with the mythological Pegasus, a reference to the expression "when pigs fly" (see Pigasus).
Randi did not make any Uri Award for a number of years after its inception in Flim-Flam!, but in 1997 it was revived and the name was changed to "Pigasus" after the winged pig. Randi announced the recipients through his e-newsletter SWIFT! in which he said: "The awards are announced via telepathy, the winners are allowed to predict their winning, and the Flying Pig trophies are sent via psychokinesis. We send; if they don't receive, that's probably due to their lack of paranormal talent."
The Current Categories:
Category #1: To the scientist or academic who said or did the silliest thing related to the supernatural, paranormal or occult:
Dr. Colin Ross, a psychiatrist in Texas. He is a lettered man, having published many articles in peer-reviewed journals, and you might think he would be the last person to earn a Pigasus... until you look a bit deeper.
Dr. Ross claims that he can send electromagnetic beams out of his eyes.
Now, to be fair, this was long thought to be how vision worked... in the Middle Ages. However, we now understand that light emitted or reflected by external objects enters the eye, and that's how we see. But Dr. Ross claims to have reversed this process, and not only can he send EM beams from his eyes, but he has rigged up a system to detect it. He applied for our famous Million Dollar Challenge with this idea, and when we sent it to our team of experts, they objected, saying it was the movements of Dr. Ross's eyes that triggered his system.
Category #2: To the funding organization that supported the most useless study of a supernatural, paranormal or occult claim:
The Producers of "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed": Logan Craft, Walter Ruloff, and John Sullivan.
"Expelled" was a movie destined for this award. Its premise was to show that Intelligent Design -- a rebranding of young Earth creationism in an attempt to circumvent multiple court decisions not to teach religion in public schools -- is a viable alternative to evolution, and that ID is being actively censored in academia. Hosted by Ben Stein, the movie was an atrocious web of distortions, ridiculous accusations, bad logic, and out-and-out falsehoods. They interviewed several notable academicians, including Richard Dawkins, PZ Myers, and Genie Scott under false pretenses so that they could get quotations used out of context, and then spun it all into a movie so truly awful that The Onion's famed AV Club said it was "odious" and one of the worst movies of 2008. Roger Ebert penned a tour-de-force debunking of the movie for his Chicago Sun-Times column as well, a must-read evisceration that slam dunks "Expelled" into the dust bin of Hollywood.
So, to the producers of "Expelled" goes the Pigasus, and a little free advice: next time, invest in a project that has a more grounded basis in reality. Perhaps unicorns, fairies, or Atlantis.
Category #3: To the media outlet that reported as factual the most outrageous supernatural, paranormal or occult claims:
The makers of Enzyte. If you watch TV late at night, you're no stranger to woowoo infomercials, which pitch everything from psychic hotlines to pills which will increase, um, various parts of your body (also, see #5 below). This has been true for years, but recently things took an odd turn. You may be familiar with Enzyte, the "male enhancement" "supplement", shilled by Berkeley Premium Nutraceuticals, which used the irritating "Smiling Bob" commercials. In September 2008, the company's CEO and founder, Steve Warshak, and his mother, Harriet Warsjhak, were found guilty of conspiracy to commit all kinds of fraud. They were thrown in jail, had to forfeit half a billion dollars in assets, and went bankrupt.
Case closed, right? Wrong. The Smiling Bob Enzyte commercials are still running. If you watch Comedy Central, for example, they shows these ads nearly ever commercial break.
Maybe they should win an award for talking to the dead.
So, for years of promulgating pseudoscientific piffle, the Pigasus goes to the TV cable industry.
We note the Enzyte website no longer exists, and redirects to another "male enhancement" product.
Category #4: To the Performer who fooled the greatest number of people using the least talent:
Jenny McCarthy, the well-known model and actor, who in recent days is getting far more publicity for her stance that vaccines cause autism. She has a son who may be autistic, and of course we are sympathetic to her plight. But that can only go so far when Ms. McCarthy appears on endless chat shows, is interviewed in magazine articles, and even writes books encouraging people not to vaccinate their children.
Numerous, well-done studies have shown conclusively that there is no causal link between vaccines and the onset of autistic spectrum disorders - the claim that they are connected is spurious, based on anecdotes and the fact that vaccines are given to children around the same time that ASD symptoms begin to appear.
The antivaccination movement has been directly linked with outbreaks of various vaccine-preventable diseases such as measles, and there have been numerous illnesses and even deaths associated with these outbreaks. The evidence is in, and has been for quite some time: vaccines are an overwhelming modern medical success story, having eradicated such scourges as smallpox, and hugely lowering rates of other diseases such as measles, mumps, rubella, polio, Hib, and diptheria. The evidence also overwhelmingly against any link between vaccines and autism as well.
Yet all that evidence has been overturned in the public's mind with ease and alacrity by Ms. McCarthy, so she wins the Pigasus award for her contribution to the country's ill-health.
NOTE: At The Amaz!ng Meeting 7 in Las Vegas on July 9, we will be sponsoring a vaccination clinic to help the children in the area get the shots they need to stay healthy. Las Vegas has some of the lowest vaccination rates in the US, and this clinic is critically needed. To find out more, please go to our events page.
Dr. David Gorski's review of the antivax movement
Dr. Steven Novellas' antivax review
Category #5: Most persistent refusal to face reality:
Kevin Trudeau. If you watch late-night cable TV, you could hardly have missed our final Pigasus awardee. He hit the airwaves in the 1990s shilling his book "Natural Cures 'They' Don't Want You to Know About", where he claimed eating coral calcium cured cancer. Alliteration aside, in 1998 a court ordered not to make this false claim, and in 2003 the Federal Trade Commission charged that he knowingly violated the 1998 order. So he's been charged twice for lying in his ads and has had to pay hefty fees and fines due to them... which is why it's even more astonishing that in 2008 he was charged once again for false claims, this time about his book "The Weight Loss Cure 'They' Don't Want You to Know About" (not to mention the two years he spent in federal prison for credit card fraud).
In his informercials, Trudeau claims the diet in his book is easy to do, and "ultimately allows readers to eat whatever they want." It turns out this is not really quite true, and instead the book advocates severe dieting, taking non-FDA approved drugs, and maintaining the diet for life.
Because of this small breach of reality, and also his past violations, this time the FTC fined him a whopping $37 million! While we applaud the FTC and are glad of the huge sum, we don't think that will replace the lives of the people who read his book and believed the snake oil he knew he was selling. Caveat emptor always applies, certainly, but in this case that doesn't extend to out-and-out fraud.
So Kevin Trudeau is the recipient of the Pigasus for purposely and with contempt storming right through several FTC court-ordered fines and convictions. We suppose his next book will be "Felonious Actions 'I' Don't Want You to Know".

If the family you babysit for has a pool, your first thought is probably about all the good times you'll have splashing around with the kids. But pools — whether they're toddler-size inflatables or big in-ground affairs — can be just as big on danger as they are on fun.
Here are some tips for babysitting kids poolside.
It's up to parents to teach their kids proper pool behavior and keep pools on their property safe. But we all know that kids forget things when they're caught up in the joy of play. So you'll need to stay in control to prevent emergencies.
Rule #1 for pool safety: Never leave kids alone around the pool. Even kids who are good swimmers can drown. Don't let yourself get distracted either. Taking your eyes off young children at the pool, even for seconds, is enough time for a drowning emergency.
Don't let kids' friends or other children swim in the pool unless you have checked with their parents first. Think about getting help if you're worried about managing more children on your own.
Indoor pools are even more risky because they can be easier to get to. Always know where kids are and check doors leading to pools to be sure they are locked.
Take your cell or a cordless phone poolside. A quick-dial feature keyed to 911 or your local emergency center will save additional seconds. But don't use your phone for other calls or to text or send pictures while you're watching kids at the pool.
When a family has a pool, "supervise" means watching kids indoors too. It's a tragic fact of life that curious toddlers can wander out of the house and get into a pool or hot tub very quickly.
For the safety of your charges (and your own peace of mind), make pool rules and be sure kids stick to them. Even if the parents are pretty relaxed about pool safety, tell kids that it's "new rules" when you are in charge.
These rules apply to both backyard and community pools:
With younger kids, it's enough to set rules and enforce them every time the kid forgets. With school-age kids, explain why the rules are in place. For example: "We don't run around pools because it's easy to trip, hit your head, and fall into the pool."
Play pools can be as much of a risk as full-size ones: Kids can drown in as little as an inch or two of water, so supervision is just as important. Clear kiddie pools of toys when you're finished using them so little kids aren't attracted to the pool. When you finish using a small wading pool, dump out all water and turn the pool over so it can't fill with rainwater. For larger-size play pools, ask the parents what they do to keep the pool safe.
Backyard pools remain a hazard even after the swim season has passed. For example, many kids attempt to walk on top of pool covers and may get trapped underneath. Knowing the risks can help you keep pools safe year round.
Babysitting kids around pools is a big responsibility. If you don't feel comfortable supervising kids in a pool, tell the parents. They'll understand.
With the right level of supervision and caution, pools offer a chance for kids to play outside and get some exercise. The downside is, the more fun the kids have, the more alert and watchful you'll need to be. It's a lot of work, but you may be rewarded with some tired, happy kids!

Research interests
A large part of the robotics community develops specialized tools to solve specific problems. If we want to compose these tools into a larger system that behaves puroposefully, then we need to understand how these methods can interact with each other. I want to find out how we can organize such processes that generate behavior.
The domain in which I examine this is robotic manipulation. Right now, I am interested in the relation between motion planning and motion control. These are problems and methods on different scales of time and space, yet time and space are continuous, so a hard cut between such methods may be deficient.
I believe that a system which generates behavior should reflect the discreteness and continuousness of its problem setting. The analysis and decomposition of problem structure can naturally lead to a suitable decomposition of a system that acts to solve such a problem. I try to understand how such decomposition can be done automatically.
A first step towards this was my master's thesis where I worked with MMC, a kind of neural network that decomposes the computation of robot kinematics into the simultaneous solution of multiple smaller problems.
I am also interested in pattern formation, procedural geometry, drawing and painting.

AMERICUS - Sometimes it just isn't your day.
Friday was not a favorable day for the Georgia Soutwestern men's soccer team as the goals came early and often for UNC Pembroke in the Braves' 6-0 victory at Hurricane Field.
GSW falls to 0-2-1 overall. UNCP remains perfect this season at 4-0. It was the first Peach Belt Conference match of the season for both schools.
James Casserly and Sam Miles alternated scores with two apiece in the opening 20 minutes to put UNCP up 4-0.
Brett Luccia converted a penalty kick at the 36:43 mark to give the Braves a 5-0 lead heading into the halftime break.
Martin Tomter finished the scoring early in the second half when his header off a rebound found the back of the net in the 52nd minute.
UNCP finished with a 12-1 advantage in shots on goal. The Braves also held a 9-1 edge in corner kicks.
Michael Corrigan and Alex Babiolakis paced the Hurricanes with two shots apiece.
GSW goalkeepers Garrett Blamire and Ryan Tucker saw time between the pipes in relief of starter Cade Jones. Blamire saved three. Tucker stopped two. Ryan Hanson stopped one for UNCP.
Southwestern returns to the pitch on Sunday for a 4 p.m. match against West Alabama at Hurricane Field.

Today I am featuring the Neighborhoods set of stamps from my Stamp Box. This set has four distinct skylines and three fun sentiments to add to your projects. Take a look at two!
I had such a good time coloring and blending with Gamsol for this farm scene. I also used some rustic papers from Daisy D's French Market collection and some jute for texture. I can almost smell the fresh air and homemade pie!
And now for something totally opposite, here's a cityscape complete with grunge and sparkle. I used the skyscraper city stamp and grunged it up with Prismacolor pencils once again. (Can you tell that it's my new favorite thing? Thanks, Jen!) Even through all the grunge, the big city never fails to delight with all its sparkle and glitter. I added silver gel pen to some of the buildings and even some Stickles in the sky. Even the background paper and ribbon are sparkly silver.
I hope you give this stamp set a try. It's one of my favorites!
Don't forget! You must go back to the my Stamp BOX blog when you are finished and leave a comment with your first name, last initial and your location in a comment and tell us what your favourite project of the evening was!
Now check out what Lara has in store for you in our blog hop. Enjoy all the creativity!

Official Bio
Official website | Instagram | Facebook | Twitter
Sheryl Underwood, a savvy businesswoman and multi-faceted, multi-media entrepreneur, skillfully balances the roles of in-demand Entertainer, Owner and Chief Executive Officer of Pack Rat Productions, movie and television actress, radio personality and philanthropist. She is 23rd International President of her beloved Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. and has the distinction of being the only full-time entertainer to ever hold the organization's highest post. Sheryl Underwood is one of the most articulate, well-informed women of our time and is a much sought after entertainer who has been described as one of the world's brightest contemporary humorists.
Underwood joined the television show The Talk on CBS for the start of season two. She sits alongside hosts Julie Chen, Sara Gilbert, Sharon Osbourne and Aisha Tyler. The Talk, which averages 2.21 million viewers per day, has a strong profile in the daytime viewing line-up on CBS and, with Underwood at the table, The Talk received its first Daytime Emmy nomination.
Named one of today's hardest working comediennes, Underwood has starred in such films as Bullworth, I Got the Hook Up, and Beauty Shop (starring Queen Latifah). In addition, Underwood was the host of Black Entertainment Television's (BET's) Comic View and Holla, a talk show she created and produced which was loosely based on Bill Maher's Politically Incorrect. She is a weekly contributor on the Steve Harvey Morning Show, also serving as "guest host," and appears on The Steve Harvey Project, the television version of the show airing on BET Centric. Underwood also hosts The Sheryl Underwood Show on Jamie Foxx's The Foxxhole, airing on Sirius 106/XM 149, where she provides a mix of political satire, comedy and music.
Underwood is host of the fifth season of Martin Lawrence Presents 1st Amendment Stand-Up and is a former contributor to the Tom Joyner Morning Show. Underwood has appeared on the Dr. Phil Show, FOX television network morning show Fox and Friends, the Joy Behar Show, WPIX in New York City and The View, created by ABC News Correspondent Barbara Walters.
A dynamic business-woman, striving not only to change the world through her sorority, Underwood takes her role as Owner and CEO of Pack Rat Productions, Inc. seriously and is committed to sharing the wisdom and insight she has gathered as the Chief Executive of her entertainment company with generations to come and other woman business owners.
In 2009 Underwood, who holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Liberal Arts from the University of Illinois at Chicago and Masters Degrees in Media Management and Mass Communication from Governor State University, was included in the 100 Most Influential Organization Leaders published in the June issue of Ebony magazine.
In 2008 Underwood was elected 23rd International President of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. As International President of the Sorority, Underwood represented thousands of women who comprise the scholarly institution committed to "finer womanhood." In her rise to the post of International President, Underwood assumed several other respected and influential roles within the Sorority including Chair of the National Executive Board, Graduate Member-At-Large, Co-Chair of the Capital Campaign Committee, Director of Honorary Membership, Pacific Regional Secretary and Southern California Corresponding Secretary. Underwood was made a Zeta in the Great Lakes Region – Zeta Tau Zeta Chapter, Chicago, IL. Her commitment to advancing her sorority led her into several leadership positions on the local level in Southern California including serving as President, First Vice-President, Executive Board Chair, Historian, Graduate Advisor and Charter Member of Omicron Rho Zeta. She exercised this commitment to Zeta while simultaneously managing her expanding entertainment career. She is currently a Golden Life Member of the sorority and a member of Alpha Psi Zeta Chapter in Los Angeles, CA.
By daring not only to think outside the box, but to completely break the mold, Sheryl P. Underwood has become a source of inspiration for women, across the country and the world, who juggle the many facets of their lives. She is a supreme model of what it takes to lead in business, lead an international organization and lead in life.

Hello once again, fantasy football fans!
It's been tough going over at Fort Victoria SC, with a dismal second week leaving me wanting for solid performers. Still, as the old saying goes, "March showers bring April showers, May showers, and June showers because this is the west coast." I'm not exactly sure how that saying is supposed to positive – in fact, I'm starting to suspect I may have been lied to – but we'll roll with it as we roll into your Fantasy Forecast for Week 3 of MLS Fantasy Manager.
See-CL You Later
While LA Galaxy, Sporting KC and San Jose Earthquakes were all knocked out of CONCACAF Champions League, that's good news for Fantasy Managers who own players from those teams. How is that good news? Simple – the league's loss in bragging rights is our gain in player availability. Starting next week, you can expect the likes of Robbie Keane ($10.8m), Graham Zusi ($11.0m) and Chris Wondolowski ($9.5m) to be starting far more regularly and producing better results than they have been to start the MLS season. Keane in particular is an interesting case, as his value has dipped $0.2m from opening day. If you're in the market for a high-priced forward, Keane might not be a bad pickup once LA swings back into form. Be wary, though; LA has a bye in both Round 4 and Round 8. You may want to wait until past that point to grab any LA player north of $8.0m, let alone a wallet-buster like Keane.
Red Tide Rising
On the other hand, one high-priced forward you can consider grabbing right away is Toronto FC's Jermain Defoe ($10.6m). The Englishman's price is already climbing following his debut brace away against Seattle and, if DC United's defensive woes continue this weekend – and we can probably expect that they will – Defoe could be poised to add to his goal tally and your fantasy points total. For the more cash-strapped fantasy owner, TFC's Jonathon Osorio ($7.0m) could prove to be a serviceable depth midfielder if his team's fortunes continue to be positive.
Goat Stampede
In my fantasy roundup over at Eighty Six Forever, I sung the praises of Chivas USA's Mauro Rosales ($7.8m). I see no reason not to continue that here, so here we go: Mauro Rosales, Mauro Rosales, Mauro Rosales. Mauro Rosales. During the time between my roundup going live on Tuesday and the writing of this article, the former Seattle playmaker's value has already gone up $0.1m and, should he perform against FC Dallas like he did against the 'Caps, will probably go up again. If you still have a free transfer left this round, grab Rosales. Even if you're averse to grabbing Chivas players – an understandable position considering the team's record the last few seasons – Rosales is a good buy purely for cap reasons. Let his value tick up and then sell him as soon as Chivas' results start to turn. Your bank account will thank you.
Crisis Management
Speaking of selling, I spent both of my free transfers this week divesting myself of DC United and I strongly advise you do the same. DC and Montreal are not teams I would be placing any of my precious fantasy money into for the foreseeable future. Form dictates everything in fantasy and the form of both Eastern Conference teams has not been good. Also on the sell-because-of-form docket: Portland's Maximiliano Urruti ($6.8m). As fast as his stock is falling, teammate Gaston Fernandez ($8.1m) is rising.
Looking Into the Crystal Ball
On the schedule front, I'm not predicting too many clean sheets this weekend. Real Salt Lake's defence was uninspiring in a 3-3 draw last week and, while Los Angeles may be tired from Champions League duty, it would be foolish to count them out of scoring at least a goal. Over in Columbus, defender Michael Parkhurst ($7.6m) may not be ready for the tilt against Philadelphia, which opens the door for the likes of Jack McInerney ($8.5m), Sebastien Le Toux ($8.5m) and Cristian Maidana ($7.5m) to knock in a few goals. On the other side of the pitch, Federico Higuain ($10.5m) is the closest thing to a sure bet in fantasy these days that isn't wearing an orange jersey. In fact, I'm making the rare decision to give the captaincy this week to Higuain, despite my noted reservations about putting the "C" on a forward. Here's the Week 3 version of Fort Victoria SC:
Good luck!

Your Happy Pet: Feeding table scraps to pets OK if limited
Original Publication Date: May 19, 2014
By C. Sue Furman, Ph.D.
Your veterinarian has no doubt told you not to feed table scraps or people food to your pet. A high quality pet food should provide a balanced diet that meets his nutritional needs.
However, it is difficult to look into the sweet eyes of your pet and resist the temptation to share. A treat is probably acceptable if your pet has no health problems and you choose the food wisely.
Some foods including onions, garlic, chocolate, macadamia nuts, grapes, raisins and xylitol (artificial sweetener) are toxic to pets and should never be given. Remember the onions and garlic you use for flavor can still be toxic for your pet even after they are cooked.
There are treats that are not toxic but can cause a variety of health problems. Fatty or greasy foods can contribute to pancreatitis so should be avoided. Small bones can create a choking hazard or cause damage to your pet's digestive tract so should never be offered.
There are good treats that your pets can have including fruits, vegetables, grains, meats, and dairy. My dogs love peeled apples, berries and melons. Watermelon is a particular favorite.
My crew also likes a variety of veggies that are good for them including carrots, broccoli, cooked squash, zucchini and potatoes. Granted, Irish Wolfhounds are not particularly finicky eaters, but I have furry friends of other breeds who also like their fruits and veggies.
Rice and pasta from the grain family also make healthy pet treats.
My guys even like quinoa, which is high in protein.
The inner carnivore in most pets will surely show its face if you offer a piece of your steak, chicken, turkey, or hamburger. Just be sure to remove the fat from the steak and the skin from the poultry. Small amounts of lean meat are fine. You may want to reserve these tidbits as treats when training your pet to perform a new trick.
Finally, an occasional taste of vanilla ice cream or plain yogurt can be fantastic for a special occasion like a birthday.
Even healthy people food treats should be given in moderation. Treats add up to extra calories which can quickly add up to extra pounds on your pet. As a rule of thumb, healthy table scraps should make up less than 10 percent of your pet's diet. Do the math and be realistic about how much food constitutes 10 percent of your pet's diet. For example, half a cup of food is a little less than 10 percent of the daily diet for a 175 pound Irish Wolfhound. In contrast, a half a cup of kibble is the entire daily diet for a 5 pound Chihuahua or other toy breed. Their treats should be limited to a few small bites.
Your pet deserves a treat now and then, and a few bites of healthy foods can enhance his regular balanced diet, keep him happy and healthy, and make you a hero in his eyes.

The launch of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus should have taken
place earlier this week, but due to unforeseen circumstances it didn't, but it
will now take place next Wednesday, 19 October.
As well as being the launch of the latest Nexus model, the
event will see the launch of the latest version of Android, the unifying Ice
Cream Sandwich, which has been designed to work with smartphones and tablets.
Initially due to launch in San Diego last Tuesday (11 October), the
event was delayed due to the untimely death of Apple founder Steve Jobs. The
event has now been rearranged for October 19 in Hong Kong
according to press invites sent out yesterday.
We already have a pretty good idea of the specs of this new
flagship Android device thanks to a number of leaks, and teaser videos from
Samsung itself.
The Galaxy Nexus (codenamed the Nexus Prime) will have a
4.65in Super AMOLED HD screen which like the Nexus S will be curved for more
comfort. It is rumoured to have a screen resolution of 1280
x 720 pixels – but we're yet to be convinced that this is the case.
It will be just 9mm thin and feature a dual-core Texas
Instruments OMAP 4460 Cortex A9 processor, clocked at 1.2GHz. It will have 1GB
of RAM and 32GB of built-in storage, which will be a first for an Android
It will have a 5 megapixel camera on the rear, capable of
1080p HD video capture, and a 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera. It will have
LTE/HSPA support depending on carrier (and of course whether you live in a
country with a working 4G network), Wi-Fi a/b/g/n, NFC and a 1750mAh battery.
The launch of Ice Cream Sandwich will be just as interesting,
with Google's attempt to bring its fragmented OS back together, something many
users will be looking forward to.
The launch is taking place at 10am local time which is 3am
UK time, but fear not loyal listener, we will be covering the event live and
bringing you all the details as they are announced.
Looking forward to the launch? Let us know in the comments.

When you had that photo of an Esprit on your bedroom's wall in the '80s and closed your eyes, this is probably how you imagined life with a mid-engined Lotus: a never-ending winding road in never-ending sunset. Back then, there was no Evora an Esprit could transform into, but Richard Morris's latest video solves even that pesky problem. Morris, whose photography and videos we've featured here before, shot this clip for UK-based Lotus specialist Scott Walkers.

Platform-as-a-Service player Engine Yard has announced the general availability of the Node.js framework for building highly scalable real-time web applications on Engine Yard Cloud.
"Node.js is a popular programming framework that is increasingly used by developers to create cloud-native applications," said Yefim Natis, vice president and distinguished analyst at Gartner. Natis argues that by using a PaaS in this instance, development teams can focus on building high-performance mobile and web business apps, instead of managing the underlying cloud infrastructure.
NOTE: Node.js is an open source, event-driven application development framework built with a single unifying concurrency model that simplifies the development of distributed real-time applications. It has a growing, active, and passionate community that boasts the second most watched repository on Github.
Engine Yard explains that typical use cases for Node.js include real-time applications that require constant feedback and input. Also web applications that are concurrent and have long running requests or responses, such as networked multiplayer games, interactive tools, and websites and web analytics.
"Engine Yard has always been a strong advocate of open source technology. In parallel with the company's continued investment in the Ruby on Rails and PHP communities, Engine Yard is committed to supporting Node.js and its growing adoption," said Bill Platt, VP, operations at Engine Yard.

DOD to Preserve Historic Images
By Claudette Roulo
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17, 2014 - The Defense Imagery Management Operations Center recently signed a $5 million agreement to digitize, store and provide access to hundreds of thousands of historical images.
DIMOC is the Defense Department's central repository for visual imagery. It exists to preserve visual records first for the DOD, and then for other agencies and members of the public, said Mike Edrington, DIMOC director. Those images are then made available via defenseimagery.mil.
But, in addition to its digital archive, the agency has a massive backlog of images on physical, analog media that ranges from photographic negatives and slides to films and VHS tapes.
"That material is deteriorating faster than we can offer it to the National Archives and we need to get it into a digital form" Edrington said. In addition, DIMOC's climate-controlled automated storage facility at March Air Base in Riverside, Calif., is running out of space, he said.
The Riverside facility is where analog visual imagery assets are shipped and processed. Those assets weren't always being stored in ideal conditions before they were sent to DIMOC, Edrington said.
The images are often found in obscure places on bases as they close down or as offices move, he said. "They've found it in corners of warehouses, and sometimes we don't know exactly where the stuff's found, but it comes delivered to us, it shows up on a pallet ... and sometimes the stuff says 'box of stuff.'"
Regardless of condition, images sent to Riverside are never simply destroyed, Edrington noted, "because they're federal records." Everything is assessed, barcoded and stored for later digitization.
The images in DIMOC's digital holdings are also shared with the National Archives, he said.
"There's a lot of history," Edrington said. "It's not just celebrities such as Elvis Presley ... we've got that kind of stuff, but more importantly, we've got soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines doing what they do."
A digitization and storage study conducted in 2010 by the Defense Media Activity, DIMOC's parent organization, found it would take up to 50 years and at least $25 million to digitize the current analog holdings with available government resources, Edrington said.
By taking a different approach, the new contract will shorten that period to five years at a fraction of the cost.
The contract is the first of its kind in the Defense Department, Edrington said. In exchange for digitizing the images, the contractor, T3Media, will be granted a limited period of exclusivity during which they will be able to charge non-DOD users a fair-market fee to use the images.
All DOD personnel will be able to access and download the images for free by accessing a secure website, Edrington said.
In this constrained budget environment, the department can no longer afford to subsidize the access of commercial media and non-government entities to DOD imagery. Changing to a fee-based system will offset the cost of digitizing, storing and providing public access to the imagery.
"This is a true partnership," Edrington said. "It's really in our interest that T3 succeeds."
The fees are essentially a convenience fee for making accessibility to the images a matter of simply going online and searching by keywords, rather than waiting 30-60 days for a response to a Freedom of Information Act Request for images that may or may not exist, Edrington said.
The arrangement is similar to the one made by the National Archives with Ancestry.com, he said, which is permitted to charge a fee for access to certain federal records in exchange for digitizing, categorizing and storing those records.

Storm Brings "Thunder-sleet" to the Ozarks
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) -- You may have heard of the phenomenon known as "thundersnow."
But have you ever heard of "thundersleet?"
Springfield radio station KTTS reports that's a problem now in southwest Missouri, where the winter storm that's dumping huge amounts of snow in the north is bringing sleet and ice to the south.
In "thundersnow" events, thunderstorms form higher in the atmosphere where temperatures are warmer. That rain turns to snow before reaching the ground, with the above thunderstorm pushing the precipitation down with extra intensity.
Today, that precipitation is becoming sleet across portions of southwest Missouri, and it's causing concerns about collecting on power lines.
So far, only a handful of power outages have been reported.

A man who groped two young women's butts in a Harlem subway station wound up getting shot in the lower back when an off-duty police officer tried to arrest him. Officer Jason Butler got involved when a woman started calling for police because her 13-year-old daughter had been groped. Then an 18-year-old said she'd been touched too and pointed to 22-year-old Jacob Sanford, who was sitting on a bench. Butler showed his badge and tried to arrest Sanford, but they got into a fight and Sanford managed to lift Butler off the platform. Butler fired one shot because he was afraid that Sanford was about to throw him into the path of an oncoming train. Sanford was taken to a hospital and is in stable condition. He has 19 arrests, including two charges of assaulting police officers, and has admitted to the two gropings.

Grow Station is rated out of 5 by 6.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Emma from Perfect size for my deck This is my fourth growing season using this little greenhouse and I love it! I start my seeds indoors and then use this to harden them before planting. Yes, it took time to put it together, but it is very sturdy. And yes, since it is lightweight, it must be anchored to withstand the wind. I use bungee straps and secure them to my deck railing. So, after almost 4 years of hot southern summers, it has held up very well. The poly doors and top are still clear. The only thing that has worn out are the wing nuts on the sides of the top lid. After the season is over, I clean it and store it in our shed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by dinosaurrex from Great overall Ok, so yes it is difficult to assemble, I will agree with that aspect on most reviews, but this thing, once assembled is nice (took me about 3 hours to put together). I use it during the warm days with the doors and top off (completely) to keep the little plants nicely organized. For the price you cannot beat it. I would highly recommend anchoring it as since it has low mass (which is a plus) and could blow away, or, do as I do and always keep something in it, dirt or flats of flowers etc, when it is not a greenhouse. I do wish the bottom was a shelf and not open.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Crowhaven from Save Your Time and Money My experience was the same as desertjeep in Reno. I wish I had that helpful info before all the time and money was lost in routine winds. If you can shelter and secure this at all times, maybe it will make sense but the tin materials snap off easily and have no weight of their own. This can't be used in an open garden. I made a big mistake.

Rated 1 out of 5 by desertjeep from not worth the money or time I'm not one to write reviews, whether I love something or not. However, I must say, I am very disappointed with this greenhouse. It took several hours to assemble, and the end product was very flimsy. I live in northern nevada and even having this in a protected area, it didn't last a wind gust. after 2 weeks, it has come apart, even with a base of cinder blocks. i like the idea of this, i wish it was built of sturdier materials. i feel like it was a waste of money and of an afternoon of assembly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JudyW from On the spot We had some pots lying around our balcony , never got around to it. I saw this unit which looked just the right size plus I needed something to protect from cold weather/wind. I also thought it's important to have comfortable access while planting which this unit dose perfectly! The assembly took 3 hours , the unit fits perfectly on our balcony. The panels are nice and clear and provide a total greenhouse effect. All together nice and practical unit, we are happy with it ! Hope this helps, Judy.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo is proud of the 2013-14 state spending plan. As state lawmakers worked their way through budget bills, the governor dismissed criticism heard from both sides of the political spectrum about the agreement, preferring to highlight the fact that New York's third straight on-time budget was on its way.
After years of dysfunction in Albany, repeated on-time budget passage is laudable. But it's not everything, and truth be told, there's good reason to be disappointed in the new spending plan.
The governor maintains that New York no longer is a place where high spending and taxes prompt many people and businesses to move elsewhere. Many people who own and run those businesses don't share that view, however, and the new budget is likely to fuel that sentiment.
The budget includes an increase in the $7.25-an-hour minimum wage to $9 over three years. This will benefit a number of New Yorkers, but not as many as some people believe. (As argued here before, the Earned Income Tax Credit-which is available to all personal income tax filers-is a more effective tool for helping lower-income households.) It also will drive up costs for many businesses, some of which face out-of-state competitors with lower labor costs (a drawback that a federal minimum wage hike would avoid).
In addition, as Unshackle Upstate executive director Brian Sampson discusses in this week's Q4, the extension of the Temporary State Assessment Surcharge-the so-called 18a energy tax-amounts to a tax hike. The increase enacted in 2009 would have expired next year but now will be extended for several more years.
Separately, the budget once again does nothing to make the distribution of funds through Aid and Incentives to Municipalities more equitable. A recent report from state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli underlined something Rochester officials know all too well: The city's share of AIM funding is disproportionately low. Give Rochester aid equal to the upstate average, and it would receive $31 million more annually.
Yes, the budget does contain some tax breaks for small businesses and middle-class residents. It also keeps the increase in state spending to less than 2 percent.
But in too many ways, the budget deal backs misguided priorities and sends the message that New York will continue to be a challenging place to grow a company.

A tribute to the original. Funny at times but falls flat big time. Anything about Ghostbusters and it takes us back in time. The Ivan Reitman project was hands down colossal. You watch it even in this era and it still manages to leave its impression on you. Paul Feig's Ghostbusters comes nowhere close to bringing that old anxious charm of the original. It is funny alright, but there is nothing that could bring it close let alone surpass the levels of Reitman's work.
Ghostbusters skims on the surface of the original, so there is nothing extraordinary that the movie has to offer, except for glimpses, characters and ghosts from the past that fill you up with nostalgia. There are plenty of elements from the 1984 gang strewn all across the movie. You might go, "Ah! There he is!" or "Oooh! Oooh! That's from the old one!"
Clinging to the original fun theme of the movie, that neither goes too dark or stays too aloof from it, Ghostbusters manages to walk well on what it was proposed to canter on. However, there isn't an element of surprise lurking anywhere here. The world Paul Feig creates is unaffected by ghosts, the multitude of dumbness, who stay unfazed by the lives of any ghostbuster, unaware of what's going on. They seem to come in as they please, react when it seems fit to them.
Feig's direction goes to awkward enclaves when he constantly keeps chopping off frames quickly moving on from one scene to another without caring enough for the audience to take it in. You can witness the shoddy editing go strangely awry at so many points that it creates a portal of disconnect.
Chris Hemsworth as Kevin is probably the funniest thing in Ghostbusters. The only notable and memorable element that you might want to talk about in the long run, owing to the levels of dumbness he is shown scaling. Kristen Wiig's Erin Gilbert has an instant apparent crush on him and she aces it with her superb comic timing.
Kate McKinnon builds up a strange character Jillian Holtzmann which is oddly satisfying. She does most of the work for the team. She has this eccentric cool style that will make you love her instantly.
There are plenty of cameos to watch out for. First of all, all those major characters from the 1984 movie pop up every now and then at odd hours namely: Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson. Not to forget Annie Potts who reprises her role as the desk receptionist here as well. Ozzy Osbourne shows up at one point too which was a pleasant surprise. Slimer the green ghost gets to drive the Ecto 1. It was good to see him revived after so long.
The ugly part of it all was that their inclusion seemed oddly forced. There was no subtlety to it. No jokes flew when they were there and that makes it look utterly fabricated. Camera zooms in at a lot of places to deliberately show a past reference. Easter Eggs are like lying in front of the camera for 2 minutes for you to notice.
If you divide the movie in subsections, you will realize that the movie does fairly well in the first half. In the later half Ghostbusters' humour simply drops dead. If you focus on how it manages to bring back every character from the past, you will have nothing less than goosebumps on your body. Humour comes naturally with the inclusion of Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig. But if you look at it as a complete movie, sadly it fails to dilate your eyes.

At the time, I had just purchased my first camcorder and iMac (1999), and this being the first video I ever edited using iMovie. Figures it was something bike related.
I got a kick out of seeing it again, so thought I'd post it.....
It's amazing how easy it's become to shoot and edit movies, record music, self publish - and other ways to express yourself - all due to technology. We take all this for granted nowadays, but in '99 I was thrilled how easily you could do this stuff at home.
Who knows what the future will bring.

Welcome once again to another random topic of monthly chat. Feel free to discuss anything or everything, including what your playing/listening to/watching/reading at the moment, how school/university/work/randomness is going, all that sort of thing.
for me (and continuing a little from last month's topic), things have been fun.
Over the last week I first sang in a 700 person choir doing Carl Orf's Oh Fortuna from Camina Borana (you'd know it if your you heard it), and also Verdi's Gloria from Ieda.
Both were fun. I'm not a choir person normally but I don't mind doing it if I get to bang out Orf rather loudly. We also had my dad's 70th birthday on a boat which was awesome, and Mrs. Dark and I did some singing for it, although not testing equipment before hand was a mine miner issue.
Gaming wise Alter events in june were fun. I like the fact that even though I'm now a level 28 druid I still have lots of quests on Arcase to do, though of course I have a few things to try for the db and some entries to do for games like black box.
I've also been going through some Doctor who audios.
the lives of Captain jack was really awesome, indeed I'm enjoying the torchwood ones at the moment, though one irony with the doctor who monthly series is they're doing double stories, and for the last two releases I've found I've enjoyed one of the stories much more than the other. For example this months, shadow planet and world apart, world apart was a great story about Ace and Hex trapped on an alien planet having to survive and Ace possibly going insane, while Shadow planet was supposed to be based on Jungian psychology but just ended up reading as yet another hoky "look the characters' dark side is really a psycho" plot which wasn't so good.
I'm also enjoying the fourth doctor adventures, indeed I don't know why but there have been some great Sontaran stories recently, probably because the tv sries treats the Sontaran's so much as a joke it's nice to see them used seriously, and after all there is far more potential in a race of military obsessed, overly strong clones with an insane liking for war than as just a comic sterriotype look at the alien aliens, though I will admit I do find strax in the new series occasionally amusing, I just wish all the other Sontaran's weren't the same.
Getting off doctor who, my wife and I also just finished reading Touch and go by Lisa Gardener together. Probably the first suspense novel I've read in a long while, but since the principle reason I stopped reading thrillers and suspense fiction was lack of alien quality and ordinary people in weird situations, a story about a family being kidnapped and taken to an abandoned prison didn't really have that problem.
I particularly liked how the kidnappers had very much their own personalities, a couple of them even weren't that bad (as compared to the scummy rich guy cheating on his wife husband who I disliked from the start).
We're heading back up north to my flat on Monday, where not only will I get back to my desktop and working on the site, but also we've got a great meal booked for our first wedding anniversary, which should be nice.
How's everyone else doing?
Our souls with high music ringing; O men! It must ever be
That we dwell in our dreaming and singing, A little apart from ye. (Arthur O'Shaughnessy 1873.)

The study, which involved more than 18,000 women age 65 and older who had breast cancer, found that those who started radiation treatment more than six weeks after breast-conserving surgery were more likely to have a local recurrence than those whose radiation treatment started within six weeks of surgery. The findings are being published online by the British Medical Journal.
Rinaa Punglia, MD, MPH, a radiation oncologist at Dana-Farber and Brigham and Women's Hospital and the study's lead author, said she and her colleagues conducted the research to address scientifically the debate about the "appropriate interval between surgery and radiation treatment, or radiotherapy, and its impact on treatment outcomes."
Post-surgical radiotherapy is designed to destroy remaining cancer cells following the removal of a localized breast tumor.
Punglia said four to six weeks after surgery is widely viewed as a safe interval for beginning radiotherapy, which typically is administered five days a week for six weeks.
The researchers reviewed Medicare database records of 18,050 women with early stage breast cancer to assess whether the timing of when radiotherapy started following surgery affected outcomes.
These women were treated between 1991 and 2002 with lumpectomy and radiation, but not chemotherapy. Thirty percent of women began radiotherapy six or more weeks after surgery.
For the overall group, slightly more than 4 percent of the women experienced a local recurrence. The risk increased to about 5 percent, approximately a 19 percent jump, when the surgery-radiotherapy interval was longer than six weeks.
The researchers found that there was no "threshold" at which the risk suddenly rose — it increased incrementally day by day. "There isn't a large difference between 43 days instead of 41," commented Punglia. "The day-to-day risk increase is very small."
The rise in breast-conserving surgery in the past two decades has fueled greater demand for radiotherapy, and might be one cause of longer waiting times.
The study revealed more delays in areas such as the Northeast, where the procedure is more common, and fewer delays in the southern states, where breast-conserving surgery is less common.
Waiting times were also longer in cases involving African-American and low-income women, but the study did not pinpoint the exact source of the delay.
"It could be factors such as access to care, the patients' ability to navigate the healthcare system, or physician referrals," said Punglia.
Although the study focused on older women, the findings have implications for younger women.
"It's possible that the increased risk we identified in older women could be magnified in younger women, whose tumors are biologically different and tend to be more aggressive," said Punglia, who is also an assistant professor of radiation oncology at Harvard Medical School.
The study's other authors are Bridget Neville, MPH, and Jane Weeks, MD, MSc, of Dana-Farber; Craig Earle, MD, formerly of Dana-Farber and now of the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research, Toronto; and Akiko Saito, MD, PhD, formerly of Dana-Farber and now of Nagoya Medical Center, Japan.
The research was supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health and the American Society of Clinical Oncology.

Head of Mali terror group quits al Qaeda
BAMAKO, Mali An Algerian-born jihadist who heads one of the most powerful and feared cells of al Qaeda's North African branch has decided to leave the al Qaeda franchise in order to create a movement spanning the entire Sahara desert, said one of his close associates and a local official who had been briefed on the matter on Monday.
Moktar Belmoktar, formerly the head of a cell of al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, is one of the most prolific kidnappers operating in Mali's lawless north. He is linked to the abduction of a group of tourists in 2003 in southern Algeria, as well as the top United Nations diplomat in Niger, Robert Fowler, who was grabbed on the side of a road in 2008.
The deputy mayor of a town in the Timbuktu region of northern Mali, who spoke on condition of anonymity out of fear for his safety, confirmed that AQIM "katiba," or cell, leader Belmoktar had left the al Qaeda franchise. The information was confirmed by Oumar Ould Hamaha, an associate of Belmoktar's, who was reached by telephone at an undisclosed location in northern Mali.
"It's true," said Hamaha. "It's so that we can better operate in the field that we have left this group which is tied to the 'Maghreb' appellation. We want to enlarge our zone of operation throughout the entire Sahara, going from Niger through to Chad and Burkina Faso."
Hamaha said, however, that while he and Belmoktar have left the North African branch, they remain under the orders of al Qaeda central.
AQIM evolved from an Algerian jihadist group, which was pushed by security forces south across the border into Mali in 2003. The group appeared to be floundering, losing members and on the run, until it sealed a deal with al Qaeda's central command, becoming the terror franchise's branch in the Maghreb region of Africa, a term that refers to North African countries including Algeria.
- AFRICOM chief: Some of Benghazi attackers had al Qaeda "linkages"
- African Union seeks U.N. approval for military action to route al Qaeda-linked militants from Mali
- Northern Mali Islamists in peace talks
- Islamists in Mali recruit, pay for child soldiers
For most of its existence though, AQIM's main base of operation has been inside Mali, which is not a Maghrebian country. Until this spring, the cells operated in the country's deserts, in dense forests and in a system of subterranean caves that recall the terrain of Afghanistan. Then in April, following a coup in Mali's capital, a mixture of rebel groups including AQIM seized Mali's northern half, giving them de facto control over the cities and allowing them to operate openly.
The announcement indicates that al Qaeda is setting its sights on a larger zone of operation. So far AQIM has conducted raids into Mauritania and Niger, but has not been able to establish long-term bases there. And the terror franchise has never operated in Chad, according to security experts.
In New York this month, diplomats are meeting to discuss plans for a military intervention in order to take back northern Mali. United States Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has described the presence of these terror groups in northern Mali as a "powder keg."

Lohan sues in NYC over 'Grand Theft Auto V' game
Actress Lindsay Lohan filed a lawsuit in New York against the creator and publisher of hit video game Grand Theft Auto V, claiming they used her likeness without permission.
The Associated Press reports Lohan alleges the video game, developed by Rockstar Games and published by Take-Two Interactive, uses her image, voice and styles from her clothing line.
Take-Two could not be reached for immediate comment.
The character in question is Lacey Jonas, a celebrity players assist during a mission in Grand Theft Auto V. In the game, players pick her up and help her dodge chasing paparazzi. Lohan claims the character is an "unequivocal" reference to her, reports AP.
The Grand Theft Auto franchise has been know for its biting satire, poking fun at everything from celebrities to video games and social networks. For example, a Facebook clone in the game is called LifeInvader.
The series has also proven very lucrative for Take-Two and Rockstar. Grand Theft Auto V, which launched last September, generated $800 million revenue on its first day. To date, the game has shipped more than 33 million copies.
A version of the game will launch this fall for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
