Game review: Humorous cast is the real draw in 'Poker Night 2'
You've just scored a seat at the most exclusive high-stakes poker club in town, but consider yourself forewarned, the clientele can be a little strange.
Developer Telltale Games assembles an eclectic group of video game gamblers from all corners of popular culture with "Poker Night 2" ($5; Mac, PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360). As a mysterious newcomer to the club's bizarre cast, you'll stare down from across the felt table the likes of Brock Samson from TV's "The Venture Bros.," Ash from the "Evil Dead" films, Sam of "Sam & Max" fame and Claptrap from "Borderlands."
Just in case that cast list doesn't raise an eyebrow, everybody's favorite malevolent artificial intelligence, GlaDOS from "Portal," is on hand to serve as dealer and dish out copious, biting insults to all in attendance.
It's a case of fan-service done right, as the beloved characters swap stories and deliver hilarious lines of dialogue, propping up an otherwise bare-bones card game. Even longtime fans of the source material won't get a lot of mileage out of this one, but the temporary guffaws are well worth the price of admission.
The poker itself consists of Texas Hold 'em and Omaha varieties. You can play the odds and win with skill, or try to decipher your opponents' tells and strike when they have a bad hand. If you suddenly find yourself on a losing streak, try buying a round of beers to make the competition easier to read. Once they've busted out, the losers slink off to the bar in the background, where you can watch them drink their sorrows away while the game continues.
Tournaments move at a brisk pace, as opponents are inclined to go all-in at the drop of a hat and the ante rapidly rises. Winning grants you more cash, as well as bonus points that unlock new chips, cards and tables in the theme of each character's backstory. Selecting entire sets will change the appearance of the club itself and coax new dialogue from the competitors.
Along the way, players will be assigned special tasks known as bounties. Once you complete three random bounties, you'll get a chance to win a trophy from one of your opponents, which grants avatar gear, bonus items for use in other video games, and console themes.
The extra incentives are appreciated and it's fun to experiment with the club's appearance, but a lack of multiplayer severely limits the game's replay value. You'll start hearing repeated jokes and stories long before you capture all four trophies. Once you've amassed all of the treasures and heard the dialogue, there's really no reason to continue playing.
It would be easy to accuse "Poker Night 2" of using its characters' popularity to mask an underwhelming poker simulator. Much like the recent "Citadel" DLC for "Mass Effect 3," however, carefully crafted dialogue and intelligent humor give this lighthearted what-if scenario genuine appeal. All of the characters stay true to their established personas and the quirks that make them endearing.
Who wouldn't want to go head-to-head with the chatterbox Claptrap, or be privy to back-and-forth barbs between Samson and a killer robot? When you bust out of a tournament, you have the option to continue watching your opponents battle it out. I had almost as much fun observing the action as I did taking part -- a sign of both the quality of the voice acting and the limited appeal of the poker itself.
"Poker Night 2" is a safe bet for fans of the participating characters. Heck, even if you're not familiar with the cast, taking a gamble on this amusing mash-up is almost certain to pay off.
Final score: 7 out of 10

Are cars in movies these days? Yes. Are they fun to watch? Not so much. Cars and movies are roughly the same age, but they've never really gotten along. What's wrong with this (motion) picture?
It is 1991, and I am in my parents' basement, lying on the floor with a can of Dr. Pepper and a bag of Sour Patch Kids. I am ten years old, and a copy of Le Mans is in the VCR. The volume is cranked as high as it will go, but that doesn't stop me from constantly grabbing the remote and trying to crank it higher.
When the 917s slither out of Tertre Rouge and fling themselves down the Mulsanne, the gut-bending howl is loud enough to make our dog bark. And I am in love.
This was a great moment, so much so that I reenact it in my living room on a regular basis. But make no mistake: By any normal standard, Le Mans is a horrible film. It offers a paper-thin plot, wooden acting, and nonstop racing footage, most of which bores ordinary people to tears.
McQueen's passionate ode to speed is a unique movie, but this is not a unique situation. The car is an easy source of drama, and Hollywood capitalizes on that, painting the automotive world as a land of lame engine noises and random fiery rollovers. Rarely is a car movie something that appeals to normal folk, and if it does, it's filled with blatant pandering. What's the deal?
Why is it that pairing car culture and movies always results in day-glo personalities and laughable dialogue? Why are car flicks always full of idiots, unlovable goofheads, and people who don't have the sense God gave a piece of toast? Why is it that I, a red-blooded American male, can suffer through an episode of Dr. Phil without projectile vomiting but cannot watch Sylvester Stallone's Driven without wanting to pop my eyes out with a rusty spoon?
Think about it: You can list the well-rounded, accurate, and crowd-pleasing car movies on one hand, and few of them stand out as anything more than a period piece. Even the best examples are lessons in how not to make a movie. By and large, they fall into two groups — those that focus on car culture and car people, and those that use the car as a backdrop or setpiece. The former gives you space-cadet crap like The Fast and the Furious, and the latter often leaves you with little more than a great car chase and an empty feeling. Most of them are movies about Something Else, ordinary films that happen to have been made by gearheads and thus depict the car world in a sympathetic manner.
The icons are obvious, as are their flaws. Consider John Frankenheimer's Grand Prix, which is full of excellent race footage but clunky direction and indifferent acting. Bullitt is a thoroughly meh crime drama surrounding a killer chase, as are both versions of The Italian Job and Ronin.
Smokey and the Bandit is one of the few to find widespread acceptance, though that arguably had more to do with Burt Reynolds's grin and Sally Field's ass than anything else. Cannonball Run, written by Brock "The Assassin" Yates, did little but assassinate Yates's Hollywood credibility. And the rest of the "golden age" crowd — Vanishing Point, Two-Lane Blacktop, Thunder Road, The Gumball Rally, Dirty Mary/Crazy Larry, The Great Race, The Last American Hero, et al. — were busty B-fare but flat-chested at the box office. If car culture hadn't been sexy when they were produced, they probably wouldn't exist at all.
It's not like we don't want good stuff, and it's not like the money isn't there. A movie-nerd racing friend of mine goes out and buys crappy car DVDs every week in the hopes of sending a message that someone cares. Stuff like American Graffiti is proof that a movie can be for and about car people without falling on its ass as a film. (Just as The Band's The Last Waltz was the first rock film to make feature-length music work as a plot device, and a pattern for films that followed,
Graffiti was arguably the first film to deconstruct car culture without putting people to sleep.) Pixar's Cars, while not perfect, reminded us that four-wheeled life is part of our country's collective memory, and that you don't have to dumb down the fringes to have the nation get it. There's hope.
In essence, this isn't so much a rant as a desperate plea. I love the passion of a good movie, and while I almost threw my Coke at the screen during James Cameron's Avatar, I'm not some Nazi critic prick who thinks everything has to be Citizen Kane. I like candy, I like B-movies, and I like — hell, judging by the number of times I've watched Billy Madison, I want to have babies with — the art of filmed stupid. I just want my Real and People and Drama and Funny mixed with a bit of Car.
Frankly, I don't think I'm asking too much. America loves cars. America loves movies.
If Hollywood can make pre-war archaeology or shooting the shit in a record store appealing to normal folks, why not cars? Why can't our world be depicted in a way that doesn't make us seem like lobotomized adrenaline monkeys? And for that matter, where is my damn Ayrton Senna biopic already?
P.S. For the record, Hot Rod magazine has assembled what appears to be the definitive list of car movies. If it's worth a damn, it's probably on there (including the Clark Gable film To Please A Lady and the Shirley Muldowney biopic Heart Like a Wheel, both of which I assumed history had long forgotten). Warm up the Netflix account.
P.P.S. Honorable mention: The NFL Films-made Le Mans docu-drama Truth in 24, even though it paints Audi (Audi!) as the underdog. The World's Fastest Indian, even though it's not about cars. And Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, because it contains a NASCAR driver hawking tampons and the line, "I like to think of Jesus as a mischievous badger."

Black Farmers Offer Homes for Horses in Need
"Project Wanted Horse" to Dispel Slaughter Myth
The Animal Welfare Institute joined with the National Black Farmers Association (NBFA) this June to form a national partnership to help American horses in need by finding them homes on farms operated by NBFA members. "Project Wanted Horse" will ensure that horses rescued by equine protection organizations, from the slaughter pipeline, or from an abusive situation are placed on farms operated by the NBFA's 94,000 members across the country.
USDA Inspectors Raid Walking Horse Show
In early July, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) effectively shut down one of the largest walking horse shows in Kentucky. Escorted by state police, USDA inspectors arrived on the last two days of the 4-day show. About 500 horses were present, but once the USDA arrived, horses were loaded into trailers by their owners and removed from the premises to avoid possible prosecution for violating the Horse Protection Act. A mere 40 horses remained. Clearly, soring—the infliction of painful injuries on the feet of horses to exaggerate their gait—continues to be a widespread problem in the industry. Fortunately, the USDA appears to be doggedly determined to enforce the law against the practice, first passed in 1970, and is aided by new technology that allows inspectors to detect the foreign substances often used to injure the horses and thereby achieve a show-winning gait.

States must sell their exchanges
From Pandora radio to those paper coffee cup sleeves to the neighborhood laundromat, states are searching for creative ways to advertise their new health insurance exchanges to people who may not know much about how to get covered next year under the health care law — and who may not like what they've heard.
No state has yet seemed to rope in the star power that Massachusetts got when the Boston Red Sox helped pitch that state's exchange a few years ago. But California has drawn up plans to advertise at places like soccer games and community colleges. A few other states, so far mostly in the West, are using part of their federal exchange grants to hire public relations firms tasked with spreading the message to hard-to-reach groups, like non-English speakers and younger Americans who don't think they need health coverage.
Story Continued Below
The challenge, of course, is that the exchanges won't work unless people — including younger, healthier people — sign up in these new marketplaces. And people won't sign up if they don't know what an exchange is, how to find one or whether they are eligible. And after all the political fighting about Obamacare, there's a lot of confusion out there — and not a lot of time to educate the public before enrollment starts in October. Coverage starts in January 2014.
States embarking on these campaigns are running their own state-based exchanges, while the Obama administration will be doing much of the public education for the federally run exchanges.
"The uninsured population is an extremely difficult population to reach," said Michael Marchand, director of communications for the Washington State Health Benefit Exchange. "They're uninsured for a reason. How much will it actually take to get people both understanding the value [of the exchange] … as well as taking action to enroll?"
The state aims to enroll 410,000 people in its exchange in the first two years, but it has a major public relations problem standing in the way. Only 1 in 6 residents has heard of the exchange, and higher-income people are slightly more likely to know about it than those with lower incomes — even though the less affluent are the ones expected to use it the most.
Marchand said he met with state officials Tuesday to discuss marketing strategies, including ways to reach the rural, farming communities in eastern Washington, where there are more Spanish speakers.
Among the nonconventional ideas they're floating: partnering with local soccer clubs, printing ads on prescription drug bags and advertising on Pandora. But they're also planning on investing heavily in more traditional radio and television advertising, particularly for the Hispanic population.

Accounting Research BULLETINS January, 1953 No. 37 (Revised) issued by the Committee on Accounting Procedure, American Institute of Accountants, 270 Madison Avenue. New York 16, N. Y. Copyright 1953 by American Institute of Accountants Accounting for Compensation Involved in Stock Option and Stock Purchase Plans This bulletin supersedes Accounting Research Bulletin No. 37, "Accounting for Compensa-tion in the Form of Stock Options," issued in November, 1948. INTRODUCTION 1. The practice of granting to officers and other employees options to purchase or rights to subscribe for shares of a corporation's capital stock has been followed by a considerable number of corporations over a period of many years. To the extent that such options and rights involve a measurable amount of compensation, this cost of services received should be accounted for as such. The amount of compensation involved may be substantial and omission of such costs from the corporation's accounting may result in overstatement of net income to a significant degree. Accordingly, consideration is given in this bulletin to the accounting treatment of compensation represented by stock options or purchase rights granted to officers and other employees.1 2. For convenience, this bulletin will discuss primarily the prob-lems of compensation raised by stock option plans. However, the com- 1 Bulletin 37, "Accounting for Compensation in the Form of Stock Options," was issued in November, 1948. Issuance of the present bulletin and its expansion to include stock purchase plans was prompted by the very considerable increase in the use of certain types of option and purchase plans following the enactment in 1950 of Section 130A of the Internal Revenue Code. This section granted specialized tax treatment to employee stock options if certain requirements were met as to the terms of the option, as to the circumstances under which the option was granted and could be exercised and as to the holding and disposal of the stock acquired thereunder. In general, the effect of Section 130A is to eliminate or minimize the amount of income taxable to the employee as compensation and to deny to the issuing corporation any tax deduction in respect of such restricted options. In 1951, the Federal Salary Stabilization Board issued rules and regulations relating to stock options and purchase rights granted to employees whereby options generally comparable in nature to the restricted stock options specified in Section 130A might be considered for its purposes not to involve compensation, or to involve compensation only in limited amounts. 283-A

Hugo Rodallega fired Fulham to their first win in eight matches as the Colombian ended his goal drought to seal a 2-1 victory over Newcastle United at Craven Cottage on Monday.
Rodallega had failed to hit the back of the net since September, but the striker finally notched only his second goal since his pre-season move from Wigan with a second-half header to kill off the Magpies.
It was sweet relief for both Rodallega and Fulham boss Martin Jol, whose struggling side had blown the first-half lead given to them by Steve Sidwell.
Although Hatem Ben Arfa equalized for Newcastle early in the second half, Alan Pardew's team were unable to avoid a fifth defeat in their last six Premier League matches.
They remain only four points above the relegation zone after a 14th successive away match without a win.
For Pardew, celebrating two years in charge of Newcastle, it was a miserable anniversary as Fulham took control on a freezing night on the banks of the River Thames.
Rodallega had the first sight of goal for the Cottagers with a bicycle kick, although his acrobatic effort failed to test Newcastle goalkeeper Tim Krul.
Newcastle's defense was far too open and the hosts were able to exploit those gaps to take the lead and end a five-hour goal drought in the 19th minute.
Damien Duff was the provider as he released Sidwell into the penalty area and the former Chelsea midfielder's strike looped past Krul via a deflection off Mike Williamson.
Dimitar Berbatov should have doubled Fulham's advantage moments later when he surged through on goal, but with just Krul to beat, the former Manchester United forward shot too close to the Newcastle goalkeeper.
Berbatov threatened again after Krul could only palm Sascha Riether's cross to the Bulgarian, but once more he was unable to convert the chance as the Newcastle 'keeper recovered to save.
Pardew's team had more menace about them in the second half and French forward Ben Arfa, back from four matches out with injury, produced a moment of inspiration to equalize in the 54th minute.
Fulham goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer must have felt relatively comfortable when Ben Arfa took possession just outside the right edge of the penalty area.
However, the Australian was left flat-footed as Ben Arfa rifled a fine strike into the roof of the net via a deflection off John Arne Riise.
Krul was quickly off his line to block when Sidwell went charging through soon after, yet Fulham did not have to wait long to take the lead.
In the 63rd minute, Duff whipped a teasing cross into the box, where Rodallega got in front of Fabricio Coloccini to head powerfully past Krul.
Desperate to make amends for that mistake, Coloccini went forward and smashed a shot against the bar from the edge of the area, but that was as close as the visitors came to an equalizer.

The Olympics are the Super Bowl of global sporting events, if their mutual fondness for Roman numerals is anything to go by.
Soccer's quadrennial World Cup comes pretty close, but it's hard to beat the international spectacle of flag-waving parades bookending your party.
And the last few cooler versions provided a bounty of opportunities for Canadians to at least lease the podium, if not own in outright, with medal success in several events almost a sure thing. Maybe not as guaranteed as Olympic Athletes from Russia having to sit by themselves in the lunchroom this year, but still.
But what's going to happen in 2018? The Games starting Friday in South Korea could provide some drama.
Questions to be answered include:
(a) Can you get up early enough for the opening ceremony?
(b) Can you stay up late enough to watch that biathlon relay that means so much to you? There's going to be plenty of time to get sick of hearing that Korea is 13 hours ahead, so pace yourself as if you were in the cross-country 50k classic.
Some prognostications seem like safe bets. For instance, I'll defer to the experts who are confident that Canucks will prevail in curling, or, as I call it, crokinole on ice.
Women's hockey in Pyeongchang should shake down to the all-too-predictable final of Canada versus the United States, since they appear to be the only competitive teams in the world, but it's the men's tournament that looks both fraught with unpredictability and the potential for casting new heroes.
National Hockey League brass opted not to shut down operations for two weeks, so Sidney Crosby won't be on the cover of Sports Illustrated like he was in 2010 when destiny allowed him to beat the Americans on home ice. But a golden goal in overtime won't necessarily come from some Bad News Bears outlier on skates: Canada's squad has a collective 5,544 games of NHL experience.
Whoever lights up your Wi-Fi-connected goal-light beer glass, they're going to be Sasquatch-sized folk heroes if Canada does well.
Here's one solid sure thing: it's never bad to predict that something unpredictable is going to happen during the Olympics. Who could have foreseen the encapsulation of elation when skeleton dude Jon Montgomery chugged that pitcher of beer in Whistler, B.C., after his win in 2010? And who knows what country Vladimir Putin's forces will invade this year while the world is distracted? (If you hear that Olympic timekeeper Omega is sponsoring the Doomsday Clock, hide.)
So, for the XXIII time in winter, let the Games begin.
About me:
A short stint in skating lessons in elementary school marked the beginning and end of my formal participation in winter sports, but the neighbourhood where I grew up in Amherst had plenty of kids who went on to lengthy careers in pond hockey and ball hockey. ("Car!")
The notion that you can sometimes get paid for watching TV wouldn't be formed for awhile, but it might have been planted in 1970, watching with Dad when Bobby Orr scored his Stanley Cup-winning goal, and encouraged in 1972, having been sent home early from school to see Team Canada beat the Russians. ("Henderson has scored for Canada!")
Tim Arsenault's favourite Winter Olympics events are heavily influenced by the X Games, so anything that combines speed with amplitude. And don't forget hockey. Follow him on Twitter, @nowthatstyping.

hello gang, i just registered today, and i'm quite interested in the topic. i rather new to the topic and i possess no degree sound recording , so if i sound a little "blonde", do forgive. i've read a few articles about infrasound and i's become a big fascination of mine... that, and ghosts
here'z tha catch:
i'm a musician, and i want to record various infrasounds and put them in my music. i want to amplify the infrasound so you can hear it, but i also want the unhearable version so it could be played from a special set of speakers that can emit its frequency.
soooooo my question is: where can i get a quality mic and speaker that can capture and produce these sounds? um, same goes with computer software... can MIDI pick up on the unlistenable infrasounds? can recording on a vinyl record capture these sounds? if not what can?
You are not going to be able to do this in a conventional manner. Audio amplifiers, even high end amps genrally don't reproduce below 20 Hz. This is the low end of hearing. There are special DC amplifiers which will process these frequencies, but almost no one who would be listening to your music would have equipment capable of reproducing them.
But assuming you want to do this, a condenser mic should be able to capture these low frequencies. (Not the little electret mics you find in consumer equipment, I am refering to professional grade ribbon mics. ) Next you will need a DC operational amplifier to boost the levels. Standard amplifiers like you find in audio gear generally use coupling capacitors which will block extremely low frequencies. Direct coupled amps will pass them. Recording can be done using digital since analog tape also suffers from rolloff at sub audio frequencies. Digital has the advantage of being able to record down to DC levels (Vinyl can capture these low frequencies, but no pickup cartridge has sufficient low end response to capture them from the record. Plus there are tone arm damping factors which would prevent this from being practical.) Speakers are not a real problem as long as you are using a direct coupled amplifier in playback as well to drive them.. Any large loudspeaker will reproduce infrasound, but the larger the speaker cone the better. It should also be mounted in an airtight enclosure for best results.
Now, may I ask, why do you want to do this?
Sounds to me like an experiment in psychoacoustics....create a paranormal feeling. Its been done....but no standard consumer gear will reproduce it. In my professinal work I use good pro gear, all Harmon Family stuff, JBL, AKG, Crown....Crown Class D amps, DC.....they won't pass below about 15 HZ. Why? Filtraction to prevent low frequency oscilations that destroy speakers. interestingly, you can put a 60Hz signal into a Crown CTs 3000 and run your electric drill through the outputs. You can also take welding rods and attach to each output via wire and draw large sparks. The amps survive this abuse just fine. In fact, this is done to demonstrate the protection circuitry in the amps. But they will not amplify infrasound. Most infrasonic measurements are made with either a measurement mic or a geophone, run through a special preamplifier, then displayed on software. No matter what one does to it, it will not be heard, thouch it may be "felt".

Story by the Associated Press; curated by Dave Urbanski
ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkey's government on Saturday accused Twitter of engaging in "systematic character assassinations" a day after social media users easily evaded a government attempt to block access to the network.
Protesters hold placards reading 'do not touch my twitter ' and 'communication right is a basic human right' during a demonstration against the ban on Twitter during a demonstration against Turkish government in Ankara on March 22, 2014. (Image soruce: Getty/AFP/Adem Altan)
The attempted crackdown came after links to wiretapped recordings suggesting corruption were posted on Twitter, causing Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's government major embarrassment before local elections on March 30.
The government's effort to shut down the service backfired on Friday, with many finding ways to continue to tweet and mock the government for what they said was a futile attempt at censorship. Even President Abdullah Gul worked around the ban, tweeting that shutting down social media networks cannot "be approved." Turkey's move to block Twitter sparked a wave of international criticism.
Turkey's state-run news agency, Anadolu, said Twitter had begun on Saturday to close down accounts which the Turkish government has been complaining about, but the report couldn't immediately be verified.
Government officials said Friday they were engaged in talks with Twitter and would restore access as soon as an agreement with the company is reached. Twitter said it hoped the crisis would be resolved soon. The government accuses Twitter of refusing to remove offensive content despite Turkish court orders.

On Saturday, Hurriyet newspaper and Twitter users said the clampdown was expanded to Google's Domain Name System, which had provided many of Twitter's Turkish users an alternative means of gaining entry. The communications minister, Lutfi Elvan, would not confirm, saying he had not been informed about such a move. The Google system was accessible again Saturday afternoon.
Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt used Twitter on Saturday to tell Turkey its efforts to block access to the social media network were "stupid." He said the blockade "isn't working and also backfiring heavily."
A statement from the Turkish government's Public Diplomacy office said the network was engaged in "systematic character assassinations" for hosting accounts where the leaked the wiretapped recordings have been posted. It said the audio tapes were "illegally acquired" or "fake and fabricated."
Elvan, the communications minister, said: "Whether it's Twitter, Yahoo or Google, all social media companies have to obey the laws of the Turkish Republic and they will."
Turkey had made 643 content removal requests to Twitter since Jan. 1, he said without elaborating.
The government blocked access to Twitter after Erdogan threatened to "rip out the roots" of the website over the links to recordings that appear to incriminate him and other top officials in corruption. In one recording a man believed to be Erdogan is heard instructing his son to get rid of vast amounts of cash from a home amid a police graft probe.
Erdogan says that recording is fabricated and insists he is a victim of a plot orchestrated by followers of a U.S.-based Muslim cleric who want to discredit the government before the elections.

Mandarin: Language Exchange Community Language> Mandarin
MandarinIn Chinese linguistics, Mandarin (simplified: 官话; traditional: 官話) is a group of related varieties or dialects spoken across most of northern and southwestern China. Because most Mandarin dialects are found in the north, the group is also referred to, particularly among Chinese speakers, as the "northern dialects". A northeastern-dialect speaker and a southwestern-dialect speaker can hardly communicate except through the standard language, mainly because of the differences in tone. Nonetheless, the variation within Mandarin is less significant than the much greater variation found within several other varieties of Chinese, and this is thought to be due to a relatively recent spread of Mandarin across China, combined with a greater ease of travel and communication compared to the more mountainous south of China.
Mandarin dialects, particularly the Beijing dialect, form the basis of Standard Chinese, which is also referred to "Mandarin" (literally "common speech") or Guoyu (literally "national language")). Standard Chinese or Standard Mandarin is the official language of the People's Republic of China and the Republic of China and one of the four official languages of Singapore. When the Mandarin group is taken as one language, as is often done in academic literature, it has more native speakers (nearly a billion) than any other language. For most of Chinese history, the capital has been within the Mandarin area, making these dialects very influential. Since the early 20th century, a form of standardized Mandarin has been the official and de facto national standard language in China and it is today one of the most frequently used varieties of Chinese among Chinese diaspora communities internationally.
In everyday English, "Mandarin" refers to Standard Chinese, which is often called simply "Chinese". Standard Chinese is based on the particular Mandarin dialect spoken in Beijing, with some lexical and syntactic influence from other Mandarin dialects.
It is one of the six official languages of the United Nations, under the name "Chinese".

This month I thought I would mix it up by doing an interview a drinks writer/author rather than a bartender so here we go with the great Dave Broom...
1. What is the first alcoholic drink you remember tasting?
Crabbies Green Ginger at my Uncle Tom and Auntie Ei's house in Perth at Christmas time. I'd have been about 10. All other drinks were off limits, but in Scotland green ginger wine was somehow an exception to the rule.. like a vegetarian not classing bacon as meat I suppose. It was a long and slippery slope from there.
2. What are your 3 favourite drinks, cocktails or spirits? recipes if you have them?
Only three?! Mixed drinks I go classic: Negroni (made with Carpano Antica Formula and Beefeater), Manhattan (sweet, ideally with rye, if not Wild Turkey 101).
As far as spirit goes, it's a close call between aged rum and single malt Scotch, but not every expression of both!
3. Tell us about a new flavour you have discovered recently?
It's not a flavour it's an aroma and you showed it to me. It's called helional and is the smell of sunshine. Am searching for the equivalent turbo boost of life and brightness in alcoholic drinks. Am still deeply intrigued by the exoticism of Japanese whisky and some of the new gins [Jensen, Krahn, 209 in particular] oh.. and Japanese rum from Okinawa and Kagoshima. It's an exciting time at the moment.
4. If you could pass just one thing, on to a bartender what would it be?
Always ask why .. oh and don't believe the hype.
5. What does the future hold for yourself and what do you see happening in the future in the industry?
I never plan. I used to make plans, but they never quite worked out the way I believed they would. I'd love to get a new edition of the rum book out there and a whisky book as well, which looks at the subject from a slightly different angle. There will be more teaching and more talking and more travel. As for the industry .. predictions are dangerous things, especially given a volatile economic climate. The big firms will get bigger (either in size or in market share, or both) but there will be opportunities for the smarter smaller firm, but they'll have to be really smart. Everyone will be dazzled by the sheer scale of China and forget about the real long-term gains which can be made in America and Europe. Rum will continue to grow globally, but in different ways in each market. I hope that the bar scene will now spread beyond its strongholds and out into the world and that quality and flavour will be the key messages. I'd hope that people will finally see through the Emperor's new clothes with which vodka has attired itself.
6. What has been your biggest satisfaction from working behind in the spirits industry?
Free booze? Seeing the growth of the bar scene and a realisation on the part of the guys working there -- and some of the more enlightened companies (or some parts of some of the more enlightened companies!) that it's flavour which is the key. If that's your starting point and your obsession then a world of possibilities opens up for you. When I started (20 years ago this year!) you'd have to seek out shady bars in Soho to get a decent drink.. it was like finding a speakeasy, you went on recommendations and whispered conversations. Now every pub is making mojitos. OK, they're often crap [where the Mojito Hit Squad?] but that's still a huge shift in mindset in a pretty short time. I worry about the eiltism which has crept in .. people believing their own hype.. and regret the lack of work that's been done in getting the mass-market excited about quality drinks. That said, I'm genuinely enthused when I go to shows or do teaching gigs that there's a new generation of bartenders who really want to learn.
7. If you were to have a conversation with a cocktail/spirit, (and presuming it could talk back to you and tell you its past). Which cocktail/spirit would it be and why?
I've often had late night conversations with a spirit. It's told me marvellous things, has revealed the secrets of life and ways of solving the world's problems. Oft has been the time where these messages down only to find the trickster god of drink has scrambled the writing (and the brain) while I sleep, rendering the page unintelligible when I awake. I'd ask a Manhattan where it came from, I'd ask Chartreuse about its past, I'd ask the rocks of Scotland why they called forth barley and then whisky, I'd ask a Jamaican rum "why??!! thank you, thank you for existing.. but.. what madness created you?"
8. What influences your drinks from outside the industry (i.e. art, fashion)?
Music. Anything from (he scans around) Congotronics to Leonard Cohen, folk to Japanese psychedelia. Nick Cave. Dub. No U2 though, or Queen. Or the fucking Verve. In fact no-one who plays in a stadium (bar the Stones) and has flags waved at then. It gets me through the day, it's a soundtrack to writing and sets mood and helps with the thinking. As I write this it's Harry Smith's 'Anthology of American Folk Music' Books as well. Lots of poetry, nature writing,techy things on perfume. Walking influences me.. getting out there and smelling the world. People give me a wide berth sometimes. Actually, always.
9. If you where to break a writers/journalist golden rule what would it be?
Rules like deadlines are made to be broken. How can you be creative if you're constrained by rules and regulations?
10. Outside of flavour and the craft of the cocktail what in your opinion affects the appreciation of a drinks the most? Occasion. That's how drinks are brought into being. Get the occasion right and the drink will be perfect.
11. If you where to champion a drink, cocktail or spirit which would it be? At the moment, rum, but then there's sake... actually there's gin! Jeez.. I'll keep on talking about them all.

Nov. 15, 2008
WILLIAMSTOWN, MA-The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's men's cross country team finished 16th of 47 teams, while the women were 28th of 50 teams at the NCAA Division III Regional Championships, hosted by Williams at Mount Greylock High School Saturday.
The men scored 446 points, 299 points better than their score a year ago, 66 points behind 15th place Wesleyan and 46 points ahead of 17th place WPI. Williams was first with 36 points. The women scored 809 points, 16 points behind the University of New England and 20 points ahead of Mount Holyoke. Middlebury won the women's race with 57 points.
For the men, senior Eric Holmes (Abington, MA/Abington HS) led the way in the 8k race, finishing 66th in 27:44. Freshman Kevin Gilmore (Hanson, MA/Whitman-Hanson HS) was 81st in 28:01, junior Derek Stevens (Swampscott, MA/Swampscott HS) was 95th in 28:21, freshman Travis Wright (Hanson, MA/Whitman-Hanson HS) was 100th in 28:24, freshman Jared Correia (New Bedford, MA/New Bedford HS) was 104th in 28:35, and sophomore Eric Nygaard (Medway, MA/Medway HS) was 186th in 30:30.
Freshman Courtney Testa (Hopkinton, MA/Hopkinton HS) led the women in the 6k race, finishing 80th in 24:59. Freshman Stacey Dybel (Littleton, MA/Notre Dame HS) was 148th in 26:34, freshman Emily Migre (Whitman, MA/Whitman-Hanson HS) was 187th in 27:37, sophomore Deirdre Ginley (Taunton, MA/Taunton HS) was 189th in 27:27, sophomore Jess Carpenter (Rutland, MA/Wachusett Regional HS) was 205th in 27:51, and freshman Megan Oliveira (Somerset, MA/Somerset HS) was 247th in 29:21.
"Our men were significantly improved," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Jon Hird. "Our men ran a very steady race, just about the way they ran the last three or four meets. There was only about a 40 second gap between our first runner and our fifth runner, Jared Correia, who ran a tremendous race. This was the last race for Eric Holmes, who did a great job this year as a senior and has been steady for all four of his years here. He ran a very good race to end his career."
"For the women, it was only the second meet of the season where we have had everybody healthy," said Hird. "It wasn't a great day to run, because it was muddy and the course was slippery in spots, and the course was jammed, and our women haven't had a lot of experience with that kind of a race. I thought we ran well, our top three finishers were freshmen, which bodes well for the future."
The action was the final competition of the season for UMass Dartmouth.

Equipment consists of a jersey (each with a unique number at least six inches high), shorts, shin guards, stockings, and shoes. Shin guards must be worn (properly covered with stockings) when a player is on the playing field. In a case where the visiting team and the home team have similar colored jerseys, the home team must change to a markedly different jersey color. Pinnies worn over a numbered uniform shirt are acceptable; otherwise, substitute uniform shirts must conform to requirements for numbering.
Goalkeepers must wear colors which distinguish them from other players, from each other, and from the referee. Articles that may constitute a danger to the wearer or any other player must be removed, i.e. jewelry, earrings, watches, barrettes, chains, belts, head coverings with any visor or protrusions, etc.
A goalkeeper may wear a soft billed cap or soft headgear with the approval of the referee.
Players will have shirts tucked in. Players who enter the field but fail to have proper equipment or who have duplicate jersey numbers will be sent to the touchline until the next stoppage in play (while their team plays short-handed) and may rejoin their team after being inspected by the referee.
Players with plaster casts or hard splints, even if padded, cannot play -- even with the permission of a parent, or medical approval. Players with orthopedic braces that have exposed or uncapped metal parts are also not allowed to play.

This midsized early flowering variety is perfectly suited for wedding work and arranging. Flowers are the softest peachy-blush color and are always greedily snapped up by designers for event work. Every cutting garden deserves a row of fragrant, nostalgic sweet peas. A fistful of these demure little blooms are how Floret was born and they continue to spellbind us each season.
*Unlike garden peas, sweet pea seeds are poisonous if ingested. Use caution around children and pets.*
Plant type: annual
Height: 6-8 feet
Site: full sun
Days to maturity: 75-90 days
Plant spacing: 6-8"
Pinch: when 6" tall
Approx seeds per packet: 10
How to Grow:

Bravo! Fantastic as always.
By coincidence, just a couple of weeks ago -- after scanning and retouching some old comics pages for a project -- I told someone you can always spot the difference between vintage comic books published before the mid-Eighties and later reprints of same, because the real thing always have this faint image from the other side. Now here it is for everyone to appreciate!

No, sorry. I'm doing "Super Antics" just for fun. When I find the time, however, I plan to sell prints of other images I've created. :)

So far, the first and only humor comic on this blog which has disappointed me.
Superman and Batman wear shorts over tights, just like many professional athletes and Olympic contenders do.
The idiotic confusion between shorts and underwear was started by people who hate superheroes and wanted to mock them by implying exhibitionism or sexual perversion as a way to vilify the idea anyone with a healthy psyche would read them.
Why did you have to get that offensive cliche' one more venue? Yes, you make fun of the skoffers, but you still imply that Supes is wearing his underwear on the outside of his pants like a pervy threat to our children instead of the truth that he is wearing shorts over tights the way most respectable athletes and Olympic hopefuls have for decades now.
Fortunately, this is the only one of your humor pieces which isn't brilliant.

Ha ha. This is the only one where I took someone else's suggestion for one of these. I was in the mood to draw, so I ran with it. But, I didn't see it as a pervy threat, or I wouldn't have done it.

Awesomeness, Kerry! Hilarious comic, and incredible artwork. I'm really enjoying your comics, and this one is no exception! And...it's not a "pervy threat."

Every week -- often with your help -- FOOD52's Senior Editor Kristen Miglore is unearthing recipes that are nothing short of genius.
If you're shelling fava beans for more than just yourself -- cracking open each chubby pod, peeling away every bean's little green wetsuit, and leaving a massive pile of detritus in your wake -- you either love that person with unshakeable devotion, or you are a restaurant prep cook. As we know, the most infamous lover of favas preferred to dine alone.
Of course, you can get resourceful, and double-peel just enough to scatter through a pasta course or top a crostini, and you'll appreciate each tender, denuded bean all the more.
But still -- if this is what you think you're committing to every time you buy a pound of favas, aren't you that much more likely to let the season pass by?
Well, stop right there. Fava beans don't deserve their high-maintenance reputation. They're much more relaxed than we give them credit for. The fact is: they were born edible, from pod to peel to bean -- we're the ones pigeon-holing them as spring's biggest divas.
Chefs like Judy Rodgers and Peter Hoffman -- both pros at making the best of what nature provides -- have come to realize that there's no reason to disregard these less desirable bits. As with liver or kale stems or unripe peaches, you just have to put more thought into making them delicious. And Ignacio Mattos, former chef of Il Buco and Isa, may have come up with the most thoughtful, delicious way of all.
Here are his secrets for taming them:
1. Grilling. Smoke and char do wonderful things to fava's thick-walled pods and skins. Whatever resistance is left melts away as they steam back in the bowl. (No grill in sight? A smoking cast iron skillet works too.)
2. Seeking out tender young things. Look for the smallest, cutest favas you can find. But even if you're stuck with the big, gnarly ones, you can eat the pods you want, and just pop out the inner beans for the ones you don't -- they'll still slide out more easily after they've been cooked.
3. Using all the best flavors at once: olive oil, salt, chile, garlic, and rosemary to start; plus lemon and anchovy to finish. Like a rough and tumble Caesar.
4. Returning the cooked pods to the same bowl. After they're tossed in the marinade the first time, a bit fuses in as they sear on the grill. But then they're put right back in the pool of marinade to latch on to the flavors anew.
5. Did I say anchovy? I meant a crazy amount of anchovy. So much that I was a little scared. But trust me: I tasted one pod before adding any anchovy and was ready to cast them aside as flat, soulless, un-genius. Then I stirred in the whole chopped up tin's worth, along with plenty of lemon, and polished off the rest of the bowl without sitting down.
So, in this way, Mattos' fava beans were still favas for one. But now, at least they're scalable.

"The Town" finds Doug MacRay (Ben Affleck) leading of one of Boston's more successful and audacious gangs, a trade he learned from his old man. Despite having been raised In the streets of Charlestown, where robbing banks is a way of life, Doug begins to contemplate making some changes.
It's not really spoiling much to tell you that during the course of "the Town" MacRay decides that it's time to walk away, to make a fresh start of things. It's a familiar conceit, the "last job" film -- a time-honored sub-genre -- in which the stakes are raised by the finality of the proceedings. And "The Town" has all the trappings of a proper "last job" film: the best friend from childhood, the trigger-happy hothead, the old girlfriend from the 'hood, the new girlfriend, the hyper-vigilant cop who starts to show a personal interest, the crime boss who won't let go so easily...
In addition to starring, Affleck also directed and co-wrote the film. He performs all three jobs ably, but doesn't really shine in any of them. The film has difficulty finding the tone that it wants, vacillating from gritty crime caper to spiritual journey, without convincingly intertwining the two. At the center of this problem is Affleck's Doug MacRay, about whom we know quite a bit, but somehow not enough. It's clear that Doug isn't like the other kids, but what it is that sets him apart is unclear-- absent parents and substance abuse are hardly unique in the world he's from.
Though Affleck has trouble pinning down the feel of his film and his heists don't exactly crackle, his direction shows a strong sense of humor and wit throughout, his attention to detail about life in Boston is impeccable and he does a nice job choreographing his car chases (about that car chase, as fun as it is to watch, only a total moron would plan to rob a bank in Boston's noptoriously unnavigable North End and try to escape by car. Honestly, it's beyond stupid).
Jeremy Renner and Blake Lively both give standout performances as Jem, the best friend from childhood and trigger-happy hothead, and Krista, the ex girlfriend who won't let go. Renner again shows the intensity that made him so good in "The Hurt Locker," while adding a touch of irrational rage and great comic timing. Lively's part is largely a stock character, the white-trash junkie ex, but she plays it convincingly. And both deal with the Boston accent without embarrassing themselves.
Rebecca Hall is her usual excellent self, as are Chris Cooper and Pete Postlethwaite. Jon Hamm as a tough-talking federal cop just doesn't quite work, whether it's the shadow of Don Draper or the man's innate being, is uncertain, but there it is.
Ultimately, "The Town" is the grit of "Heat" combined with the schmaltz/heart of "The Shawshank Redemption," without quite reaching the heights of either. It's an enjoyable genre film, but not much more than that.
"The Town" opens nationally Sept. 17 and is rated R

Our location is convenient for Wembley Stadium, Wembley Arena and Wembley Conference Centre as we are just 15 mins away on the adjacent Ruislip underground and 20 mins by car.
Click on the photo for a virtual tour of the hotel
The Barn has a total of 73 bedrooms including many deluxe rooms and suites. All rooms are decorated in fine fabrics and furnishings in total harmony with the hotel's "old world" charm, yet offer all the modern facilities the most discerning guest would appreciate.
What our customers say...
All the staff were so helpful and professional we really cannot fault a single part of the day. I will be recommending the Barn hotel to everyone I know.
The Barn Hotel did an excellent job with the James Bond Themed Party and I was delighted with the service and the small touches that made the event very special.
From Review Sites
The friendly and attentive staff could not have done any more to make my stay enjoyable. The food was also first class and the restaurant and bar setting cosy. I'ts proximity to the local tube station make it an ideal hotel for Lovely hotel, steeped in history. Our room was a mix of old and modern, quiet, comfortable, warm and enjoyed our stay.
Second stay at the Barn Hotel and just as good as earlier this year. Delightful, clean and spacious bedroom. Breakfast was good with plenty of choice at the buffet. Bar lounge menu extensive and Fish & Chips beautifully presented in a wire basket with "newspaper" probably best ever eaten!

Andhra Pradesh
Earth : Asia : South Asia : India : Southern India : Andhra Pradesh
Andhra Pradesh is a state in Southern India. Andhra Pradesh lies in the south eastern region of India, with Bay of Bengal on the east and shares boundaries with Orissa on the north, Tamilnadu on the south and Karnataka on the west.
Other destinations
Weather is extremely hot for the most part of the year with high humidity along the coast and relatively dry in the interior areas. The monsoons in June and the return monsoons in October provide adequate rain fall for the rain dependent agriculture in the state. The best time to visit is November till February when it's relatively cooler. The hottest months are April, May and June.
Telugu is the official language and is spoken by the majority of the populace. However, most educated people will also be able to speak Hindi and English.
Like most South Indians, Telugu people are very protective of their language and culture, and will respond more readily to English than to Hindi. The exception is Hyderabad, where Hindi and Deccani Urdu are more commonly spoken.
English is widely spoken in Hyderabad and other major cities. Apart from Telugu, the major languages spoken in Hyderabad are Hindi and Urdu, Tamil in the south and Kannada in the west. Minimum knowledge of Telugu will be extremely useful (but not essential).
Get in
By plane
The main and only international airport in Andhra Pradesh is Hyderabad. Direct international connectivity to Hyderabad is available from many countries. International carriers operating from Hyderabad are Air India, Emirates, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Kuwait Airways, Lufthansa, Malaysia Airlines, Oman Air, Qatar Airways, Saudi Arabian Airlines, Singapore Airlines, Srilankan Airlines and Thai Airways. Domestic connectivity is excellent with Air India (and their subsidiary Indian Airline), Deccan, GoAir, IndiGo, Jet Airways, JetLite, Kingfisher, Paramount and SpiceJet operating from here.
Visakhapatnam,Vijayawada and Tirupati also has moderately busy airports.
Get around

Please conserve water and try to cut down use of plastics. In extreme summers avoid travelling in afternoons. Always carry mobile phone and always keep emergency numbers like 100 for police, 108 for fire and ambulance and 104 for health emergency with you.
Like almost every other state in India, Andhra pradesh has a rich variety of cuisines and change widely from region to region. The Guntur/Vijayawada region is known for extremely spicy dishes. Rice is the staple food and is eaten pretty much with every meal along with a variety of vegetable and meat curries. The capital city, Hyderabad is known for its world famous hyderabadhi biryani (spiced rice) and one would do very well to savor it.

GRASP (object-oriented design)

General Responsibility Assignment Software Patterns (or Principles), abbreviated GRASP, consist of guidelines for assigning responsibility to classes and objects in object-oriented design.[1] It is not related to the SOLID design principle.
The different patterns and principles used in GRASP are controller, creator, indirection, information expert, high cohesion, low coupling, polymorphism, protected variations, and pure fabrication. All these patterns answer some software problems, and these problems are common to almost every software development project. These techniques have not been invented to create new ways of working, but to better document and standardize old, tried-and-tested programming principles in object-oriented design.
Computer scientist Craig Larman states that "the critical design tool for software development is a mind well educated in design principles. It is not UML or any other technology."[2] Thus, GRASP are really a mental toolset, a learning aid to help in the design of object-oriented software.
In OO design, a pattern is a named description of a problem and solution that can be applied to new contexts; ideally, a pattern advises us on how to apply its solution in varying circumstances and considers the forces and trade-offs. Many patterns, given a specific category of problem, guide the assignment of responsibilities to objects.
The controller pattern assigns the responsibility of dealing with system events to a non-UI class that represents the overall system or a use case scenario. A controller object is a non-user interface object responsible for receiving or handling a system event.
A use case controller should be used to deal with all system events of a use case, and may be used for more than one use case. For instance, for the use cases Create User and Delete User, one can have a single class called UserController, instead of two separate use case controllers.
The controller is defined as the first object beyond the UI layer that receives and coordinates ("controls") a system operation. The controller should delegate the work that needs to be done to other objects; it coordinates or controls the activity. It should not do much work itself. The GRASP Controller can be thought of as being a part of the application/service layer[3] (assuming that the application has made an explicit distinction between the application/service layer and the domain layer) in an object-oriented system with common layers in an information system logical architecture.
Creation of objects is one of the most common activities in an object-oriented system. Which class is responsible for creating objects is a fundamental property of the relationship between objects of particular classes.
In general, a class
B should be responsible for creating instances of class
A if one, or preferably more, of the following apply:
- Instances of
Bcontain or compositely aggregate instances of
- Instances of
Brecord instances of
- Instances of
Bclosely use instances of
- Instances of
Bhave the initializing information for instances of
Aand pass it on creation.
The indirection pattern supports low coupling and reuse potential between two elements by assigning the responsibility of mediation between them to an intermediate object. An example of this is the introduction of a controller component for mediation between data (model) and its representation (view) in the model-view control pattern. This ensures that coupling between them remains low.
Information expert[edit]
Information expert (also expert or the expert principle) is a principle used to determine where to delegate responsibilities such as methods, computed fields, and so on.
Using the principle of information expert, a general approach to assigning responsibilities is to look at a given responsibility, determine the information needed to fulfill it, and then determine where that information is stored.
This will lead to placing the responsibility on the class with the most information required to fulfill it.[4]
High cohesion[edit]
High cohesion is an evaluative pattern that attempts to keep objects appropriately focused, manageable and understandable. High cohesion is generally used in support of low coupling. High cohesion means that the responsibilities of a given element are strongly related and highly focused. Breaking programs into classes and subsystems is an example of activities that increase the cohesive properties of a system. Alternatively, low cohesion is a situation in which a given element has too many unrelated responsibilities. Elements with low cohesion often suffer from being hard to comprehend, reuse, maintain and change.[5]
Low coupling[edit]
Coupling is a measure of how strongly one element is connected to, has knowledge of, or relies on other elements. Low coupling is an evaluative pattern that dictates how to assign responsibilities to support
- lower dependency between the classes,
- change in one class having lower impact on other classes,
- higher reuse potential.
According to the polymorphism principle, responsibility for defining the variation of behaviors based on type is assigned to the type for which this variation happens. This is achieved using polymorphic operations. The user of the type should use polymorphic operations instead of explicit branching based on type.
Protected variations[edit]
The protected variations pattern protects elements from the variations on other elements (objects, systems, subsystems) by wrapping the focus of instability with an interface and using polymorphism to create various implementations of this interface.
Pure fabrication[edit]
A pure fabrication is a class that does not represent a concept in the problem domain, specially made up to achieve low coupling, high cohesion, and the reuse potential thereof derived (when a solution presented by the information expert pattern does not). This kind of class is called a "service" in domain-driven design.
