Picking which team will get left out is tough because two of the teams woudn't make it because of too many losses (Marquette and St. John's) and the third wouldn't make it because of a lack of quality wins in conference (Cincinnati).

If we consider the schedule each team has left, we'd have to leave out the Bearcats. They still have to play five road games, and all of their home games are tough (St. John's, Louisville, UConn, and Georgetown). Only two of their remaining games are against teams not in our bracket. That schedule gives Cincinnati a lot of chances to solidify their spot, but it also gives them a lot of chances to play their way out. Marquette and St. John's , although they have four more losses already, have easier schedules left.Bracketology 101https://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-53530695349357567622011-02-02T10:24:17.447-05:002011-02-02T10:24:17.447-05:00If that ACC sceanrio unfolded, all of those 10-6 t...If that ACC sceanrio unfolded, all of those 10-6 teams could make it.

Consider this code: -module(bug). -export([ test/1 ]). test(A) -> erlang:display(A), <<A/binary>>. Let's compile it and run in shell (R16B03, B02 is also affected): 1> bug:test(atom). atom ** exception error: bad argument in function bug:test/1 (src/bug.erl, line 8) So, as we can see, line 8 is pointed at "erlang:display(A)", but error was occured on line 9. It can be very confusing while debugging large modules. I think it's a bug because of it points on invalid line and with other errors there is no such behaviour.

But now on the eve of his retirement, the soldier finds the recognition for those years of bravery stolen from him.
"This was my bronze star medal for service in Iraq," Jeffrey DeRosa said.
Master Sergeant Jeffrey DeRosa received his Bronze Star for his bravery in Iraq where his job was to find roadside bombs.
"This was a lifetime achievement for my contribution to the regiment as you can see it's gone," DeRosa said.
It was gone along with his Bronze Star and his Expeditionary Medal for service in Afghanistan, and another for his tour in Bosnia.
20 years of medals and decorations were stolen from his personal belongings which the Army, through a contractor, recently shipped from Germany to his home in Long Island after he retired.
"I started opening the last boxes, which is where my awards and decorations were in, I felt, like my stomach dropped. I couldn't believe it," DeRosa said.
Jeffrey DeRosa suddenly had one last battle to wage, this one against the Army he spent two decades fighting for.
"Nobody joins the Army to get rich, and that recognition, the culmination of my 20 years, was taken from me," DeRosa said.
He has spent weeks trying to get someone in the Army to help get his medals replaced.
So far, all he's been offered is a lot of red tape and $5 to $10 dollars per medal.
"So they're telling you, just give up the fight to have them replaced?" asked Eyewitness News Investigative reporter Jim Hoffer.
"Take the five dollars a medal and go find them on the internet, you know, go replace them on the internet," DeRosa said.
Authentic Army medals are easy to find on eBay, including the Bronze Star, but there's one problem, attempting to sell or to buy real U.S. Military medals is illegal, punishable by fine, even imprisonment.
That he's been told to break the law to replace what's been stolen adds to his loss.
"I served everywhere they told me to serve for as long as they told me to serve there," DeRosa said, "Why am I now all of a sudden left to fend for myself? Take the money, go on the internet, buy your medals back."
But there's one medal that even the internet black-market can't replace for DeRosa: The Purple Heart which his grandfather received after being shot by the Nazi's in World War Two.
Like the other medals, all that's left is the empty box:
"It was very special and I was entrusted by my family to hold onto it and keep it safe which obviously I wasn't able to do that," DeRosa said.
To help DeRosa, Eyewitness News contacted Senator Kirsten Gillibrand who's on the powerful Armed Services Committee.
"When they have done these great acts of bravery that we can stand by them and get them the recognition, the due recognition that these medals convey," Senator Gillibrand said.
"And five to ten dollars compensation for these medals?" Hoffer said.
"Ridiculous. These medals are a statement of our country's gratitude. They are invaluable and we have to make sure that we get him the full medals and get them fully replaced," Senator Gillibrand said.
Eyewitness News contacted the Army several times for a response, but has yet to hear back from them.
Senator Gillibrand is waiting too for the Pentagon to respond to her request to replace all 14 of Master Sergeant DeRosa's medals.

Love and Romance in France @ RomanceClass:
A French Wedding Reception
The Toast
The Wedding Toast is a French tradition - where the Best Man stands up and says some words about his fondness for the new couple. The new couple often has a double-sized goblet, a coupe de mariage, that they drink from together, symbolizing their new life together. Often the couple will then pass this goblet along to friends and family, to invite them to share in their joy.
French is world famous for its Champagne, and there is no doubt that Champagne must be present at any French wedding! There are different types of Champagne. Brut is the driest, and the "standard". If you want to get a "great" Champagne, go for a Brut. Extra-dry is less dry than Brut. Sec is sweet, and Demi Sec is even sweeter.
Vintage bottles are, like most wines, from a single year's worth of grapes. Unlabeled or non-vintage bottles are from a blend of years.
Champagne should be served at about 45 degrees. A few hours in the fridge should bring the temperature down, but never store any wine for more than a few days in the fridge. Serve your Champange in tall, narrow-necked glasses, called flutes. Do not use wide-brimmed glasses - they cause the drink to quickly lose both bubbles and flavor.
The French Wedding Cake
The Garter and Bouquet
Pieces of a bride's outfit were considered very lucky by other unmarried women, and often the bride might have small bits of veil or dress torn off. This became the custom of throwing the bouquet and garter to reception members, a symbol of that luck.
Later in the Evening
With all of the talk of French and Sex, a wedding evening is more about friends and party than about the couple running off to be alone. The reception lasts long into the evening and even the next morning. Friends hang out with the couple until the next day. If the couple heads back home, usually the friends will follow behind, making lots of noise. The groom is supposed to welcome them in with open arms, showing that even as a couple, friends are always important.
Love and Romance French style

New Canaan, Conn. – The first significant first snow fall is right around the corner – where's your trusty snow shovel?
You can't forget last winter's pain inducing exercise that left you nearly crippled after clearing natures' latest deposits, can you?
Well there's one company that promises to make that task a lot easier without the use of an internal combustion engine.
Product developer Mark Noonan of Structured Solutions II has produced the SNO WOVEL, purportedly the first and only commercially produced wheeled snow shovel.
According to a press release from the company, the SNO WOVEL "revolutionizes snow removal in the most basic way: while traditional shoveling involves dead lifting of snow at the end of a long stick — exaggerating its weight with pretty much the back doing all the work, the SNO WOVEL takes an ancient principle — the LEVER — and combines it with the WHEEL to reduce the process to 1, 2, 3: scoop, lift, throw. With vastly reduced effort, "wovelers" can throw snow without twisting or lifting."
The SNO WOVEL is the brainchild of New Canaan, Conn., resident Mark Noonan, a former investment banker. Debilitating treatment for pancreatic cancer left him unable to lift even a shovelful of snow from the backyard ice rink he built for his children. He designed it to reduce physical strain and the risks of back and heart injuries associated with shoveling.
Noonan used the basic principles of the wheel and leverage to create a strange-looking shovel that utilized a bicycle wheel, electrical conduit, sheet metal and, of course, duct tape. The crude seesaw action — with Noonan at one end and a snow shovel at the other — allowed him to easily complete the snow removal job and gave him a patented new product idea. Thus the SNO WOVEL, and a new career for Noonan, was born.
In the few years it's been on the market, The SNO WOVEL has been homeowner tested, doctor approved and award-winning. An independent study performed by University of Massachusetts Biomedical Engineering Professor Bryan Buchholz, PhD stated, "The most obvious conclusion from this study is that the SNO WOVEL significantly reduces the risk of low back pain and injury. Both the results from the biomechanical model and the subjective ratings support this finding."
"The compressive forces estimated in this study for the SNO WOVEL were similar in magnitude to the compressive forces one would experience when simply walking," Buchholz said
Osteopathic physician Steven J. Weiss said, "It appears to have made shoveling much more efficient, safer, less strenuous, easier; thus reducing the risks for either musculoskeletal or heart-related injuries … I have carefully reviewed the device and films of the SNO WOVEL in operation. … Because it uses leverage and mechanical advantage it, by virtue of this increased efficiency, will decrease strain upon the heart. It makes me wish that I had had one when I lived on the north coast of Maine and shoveled large amounts of snow every winter."
Time Magazine named The SNO WOVEL one of its Best Inventions, won the Best New Product Award at the National Hardware Show, and garnered an Editor's Choice Award from Popular Mechanics. Along the way, Noonan has added a few touches, like gavel wheels, a powder blade, a chipper plate and wear strip, but the basic principles and product remain.
The SNO WOVEL offers significant advantages over shovels and blowers. It's cheaper than blowers, is silent, maintenance and pollution free. It tackles any snow bank and easily rolls over curbs. The folding frame allows owners to hang it on a garage or shed wall. It's portable.
The SNO WOVEL sells for $119.95 and is available online at www.snowovel.com, toll-free by phone at 877-598-2599, through specialty catalogs and, and at Amazon.com. Retail roll out has progressed with Sno Wovel available from numerous retailers in Canada, Alaska, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin and all over Europe.

Lopping Off Locks
Published 8:00 pm, Tuesday, April 22, 2003
KINDE - Ten-year-old Chelsea Koroleski of Kinde wasn't quite sure about the new, shorter hair cut her mom Mitzi suggested.
But once in the hands of beautician and Koroleski's aunt, Denise Grifka, a few snips and grooming became a little bit easier for Koroleski. And, her decision was benefiting someone who is suffering from long-term medical hair loss.
Chelsea said Grifka, owner of Country House of Hair located near Ubly, told her about Locks of Love. The non-profit organization provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children across the U.S. under age 18 in order to create the highest quality hair prosthetics.
Most of the children helped by Locks of Love have lost their hair due to a medical condition called alopecia areata, which has no known cause or cure. According to the organization, "the prostheses we provide help to restore their self-esteem and their confidence, enabling them to face the world and their peers."
The North Huron fifth-grader said she's excited about her hair going to Locks of Love - and she really likes her new hair cut. Koroleski's mom said she's sending the 12-inch ponytail off to Locks of Love, ASAP.

Word that Apple and Comcast are in discussions to provide streaming video pushed the Cupertino company's stock higher early Monday.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Apple and Comcast were discussing a deal that would use set-top boxes from Apple to stream video across Comcast's cable system, avoiding Internet congestion. An agreement does not appear to be imminent, with the Journal noting that "many hurdles remain."
Apple stock rose more than 3 percent in early trading Monday to top $536 per share.
While pleasing Apple investors, the idea will likely alarm net neutrality fans. Comcast struck a deal with Netflix last month to give the video service priority in its pipeline, ensuring that net congestion doesn't interfere with streaming videos or downloads. Such deals have been expected in the wake of a federal appeals court ruling in January that let network service providers prioritize the traffic flowing over their wires.

Carolyn Burg
Longtime Juneau resident and Alaska pioneer Carolyn Burg, 91, died Jan. 9, 2000, in Juneau after a short illness.
She was born Dec. 6, 1908, to Albert and Sophia Schael and grew up in New London, Wis., where she graduated from high school. She moved to Appleton, Wis., where she married Harry Warren in 1930. They had two children, Thomas and Nancy Warren.
After a divorce, in 1940 she moved to Milwaukee with her children, raising them there through high school. Wanting change and adventure, she applied for a federal job and was hired by the Veteran's Administration in Juneau. She arrived in 1952, her first trip out of the Midwest. The wilderness flavor of Alaska appealed to her pioneering spirit and she made Juneau her home.
In 1958 she married world explorer, photographer and author Amos Burg. She also worked for the federal court system, traveling through Southeast Alaska, and for the state highway department, retiring in 1967.
Along with supporting her husband's activities, she took an active part in local social and environmental projects. In 1960 Gov. Bill Egan honored Burg for spearheading a statewide litter cleanup campaign. In 1966 the Alaska Sportsman Council appointed Burg as Conservationist of the Year. She involved herself in local government, battling on an individual path to keep the state capital in Juneau, and championing other causes.
She was a member of P.E.O. Chapter D, Pioneers of Alaska, Sons of Norway, and an active member of Bethel Christian Center.
She was preceded in death by her sister Gertrude Harding in 1982, her son Thomas of cancer in 1960 and her husband Amos Burg in 1986.
She is survived by her daughter Nancy Warren Ferrell (and Ed Ferrell) of Juneau, grandchildren Patricia and William Ferrell of Seattle, Jeffrey and James Rouse of Wisconsin and great grandchildren Douglas, Cassie, Nina and Dalton Rouse of Wisconsin, and numerous friends in Juneau and the Northwest.
Memorial services will be 1:30 p.m. Friday at Bethel Assembly of God, 8001 Glacier Highway. The P.E.O. will host a reception at 3 p.m. at The Parkshore Condominiums recreation center, 800 F Street, following the memorial service.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Hospice and Home Care of Juneau, 3200 Hospital Drive, Juneau, 99801, or the American Cancer Society, 1057 Fireweed Lane, Suite 204, Anchorage, AK, 99503, in Carolyn Burg's name.

Student or Learner
Dear Teachers,
I know english and have been learning/speaking it for a long time now. But it's not my primary language and I make mistakes time to time and I'm not still fluent in it.
what should I do to be fluent and speaking it without any type of grammatical mistakes. I learn it as and when I can but some things like for example a word phrase "out of blues".... even if i learn english for a long time, i don't know such words and phrases, what should i do to know english like a native speaker.
The thing is, when I was kid and when i'm at the lower job positions, it's not an issue, but as I grow in my career, people expect me to know proper english, they expect that if i write an email, there would be no mistakes in it, although i most of the times don't make mistake, but if i'm a manager and i make a single silly mistake in grammar, that makes a wrong impression on client.
Hope i made myself clear. Help me out here.
Thank you very much.
Hope to listen as many people as possible. Thanks again.
I remember when I first learned Japanese, it was very difficult to learn even though I was living and working in the country. Fluency does not take place over night as I think you already know. The best thing to achieve fluency is to speak it and interact with a native speaker as often as possible.
With technology at our fingertips, I would suggest that you become part of an online learning community. Even better, find a friend that would be willing to speak with you through Skype or Yahoo online. Most people are anxious to help someone like you learn to speak better English.

Spoiler Alert: This blog is for people watching The Killing on BBC4 in the UK. Stop reading if you haven't seen episode 18 – and please, please don't post spoilers if you've seen future episodes Vicky Frost's episode 15 and 16 blog
RIP Jan Meyer. For all The Killing's many twists and turns, I don't think Meyer is going to somehow wake up from this. I am shellshocked. Not only because we've lost such a brilliant character, but also because of the way it played out. We were manipulated into thinking Meyer was going to die before eventually being allowed to relax – only to have the rug pulled from under our feet once more.
Brilliant television, but my nerves are rather shredded.
It seems fitting to start with Meyer and Lund first this week. There were so many brilliant touches leading up to the shooting: from the way Meyer addressed Lund "as a friend" about the state of her life and her tactile acknowledgement of his concern, to his description of her as "quite unbalanced" to his wife. The dynamic between the two women, tinged with blame, was also complex. So we had Lund's clumsy attempts to make conversation about the kids, and the doctor receiving the hug when Meyer came out of theatre, rather than the awkward, uncomfortable Lund.
In fact, despite it being Meyer on the operating table, really this story was about Lund. The desperation when she found him (had she ever called him Jan before?) and emotion in the ambulance sitting alongside her urgent need to talk to him once she knew he would pull through. And as for the moment when Brix told Lund the news … you could almost see that tough exterior cracking as she took it in. Like Pernille – again, the way the two characters relate to each other is fascinating – this was a grief, and a guilt, that swept everything else aside. A cracking performance from Sofie Gråbøl .
The storyarc Lund and Meyer's partnership has followed was satisfying throughout this series – I was really hoping that Meyer would get through to the second season. I have only one question: why did he die so suddenly, given that medical staff thought he would survive? The writers toying with us – or something more sinister?
The investigation: what do we know
• The body of Mette Hauge has been recovered wrapped in a Merkur movers sheet. She was already dead when she went in the water with multiple injuries, but dressed and neatly wrapped.
• Both Vagn Skaerbaek and Leon Frevert worked for Merkur 15 years ago – in fact Leon got his job and Birk Larsens through Vagn.
• Amir failed to pick Vagn out of a line-up. Skaerbaek says he was asleep in a chair with his uncle on Friday night. He could have slipped out: Lund wonders how he would have known where Nanna was.
• Frevert recently sold all his possessions and bought tickets to leave for Vietnam — but didn't tell his brother, who said Leon had seemed nervous and afraid recently. In his flat was a wall of press clippings about Nanna's case.
• Leon told Lund on the phone: "I didn't do it, I didn't do it. I didn't shoot anyone". She asks him why he didn't tell her he knew Nanna Birk Larsen: "You have no idea" he answers.
• Someone had got to Mette's lockup and forced the lock. That person then killed Meyer with Lund's gun to avoid capture. They wore black lace-ups, black trousers, black leather gloves – we don't even know if it's a man or a woman.
• Theis threw the police out of the Birk Larsens' new house. But in the cellar Anton found Nanna's passport – the one she needed to collect from the flat – with what looked like a large bloodstain on it.
The Family
Theis and Pernille appear to be a strong unit once more, with Theis, in particular, concerned with protecting his family above all else – hence his decision to appoint a lawyer, and his doubt over Vagn, which clearly pained him. I actually find the dynamic of Pernille/Theis/Vagn less odd than Meyer managed to make it sound in interrogation, particularly now we know about Vagn's family background and his uncle. The scene in front of the van, when Vagn handed Theis presents for the boys was particularly poignant, and beautifully acted on both sides.
The politicians
Fascinating developments this week. Much as I can barely bring myself to trust Bremer for even a second, and he still tried to smear Hartmann with the murder during the radio debate, I found his questions over the tape flat and Rie convincing, and his pay-off line to Troels – "You're no better than me. You just don't know that" – was brilliant. Particularly when echoed by Salin's: "I'm actually trying to help you."
Lots of us have had an eye on Rie from close to the beginning, and now there are rumours that she slept with Philip Dessau in return for the tip about Stokke – rumours that she denies but aren't helped by Dessau being fired and the pair of them having a massive argument in the lobby. Other pointers to odd things going on from inside Hartmann's office: possibly the surveillance tape envelope (only Rie sent post that night) and the mysterious loo cancellation on the Saturday morning. Which, while being important, is also vaguely ridiculous. I'm presuming we're getting closer to finding out who has been trying to frame Hartmann – if that is indeed what has been happening.
• What happened to Frevert? Did the other officers bring him in after Lund went with the DA's assistant?
• Why hasn't Hartmann been asking himself the questions others are now asking him?
• Why won't Lund learn about going into buildings she doesn't know, in the dark, with no backup?
• Why does Brix try and take Lund off the case at least once an episode? Something to do with the above perhaps – or for a different reason
• What do we think of Lund's theory that Mette and Nanna were still killed by the same person, despite the differences between the murders?
• Who is Salin's source? Is it Bremer who's prompting the questions? And if not, who?
• Talking about sources. Where is Rie getting all her police info from?
• The detail about Meyer's lighter diverting the bullet away from his heart was so perfect. Bittersweet, as it turned out, but brilliant
• Salin might be desperate for a story, but interviewing Troels in the loos!
• A word about Morten: I find his good cop schtick annoying at times, but I loved the way he framed Dessau's dismissal as good news.
• The scene between Lund and Merkur's daughter was well done - she can read people and communicate when she chooses.
• The great Rie/Troels thaw continues. But I'm becoming very suspicious of her motives.
• Lund's partner is dead, she's sent her boyfriend packing and not returned his call, her son has gone to stay with his father and her mother has also left the flat. She is now completely isolated.

Championship round-up
Steve McClaren endured a new low as Nottingham Forest manager as his side were thumped 5-1 at Burnley.
Last Updated: 27/09/11 10:26pm
On a night when Steve McClaren endured a new low as Nottingham Forest manager as his side were thumped 5-1 at Burnley, arch rivals Derby County moved up to second following a home draw with Barnsley.
Prior to the visit of Forest an exasperated Burnley faithful had not seen their side win at Turf Moor all season, but such a statistic was put right on Tuesday as Jay Rodriguez was twice on target in a five-star Clarets performance.
Derby could have toppled Southampton at the summit with three points over Barnsley but in the end were grateful Steve Davies' penalty secured a 1-1 draw, after they had fallen behind to Jacob Butterfield's opener for the improving Tykes.
Lee Bowyer returned to haunt former club West Ham as his goal a minute from time for Ipswich silenced the majority inside Upton Park.
Brighton looked to be heading for top spot when Craig Mackail-Smith's goal gave them the lead at home to Crystal Palace, but a late slump saw them slip to a surprise 3-1 defeat at the Amex Stadium.
Dean Saunders' second game in charge of Doncaster ended in a 1-1 stalemate with Hull City, with Simon Gillet's second half equaliser cancelling out Martyn Waghorn's effort for the Tigers.
Watford left it late at home to Millwall but stole bragging rights nonetheless, as goals from Carl Dickinson and Craig Forsyth reduced Liam Feeney's opener for the Lions to a mere consolation.
Erik Huseklepp was left with his head in his hands at Fratton Park as his last minute own goal ensured Peterborough left Portsmouth with the spoils after a topsy-turvy affair on the South Coast ended in a 3-2 victory for Darren Ferguson's side.
The same scoreline ensued at Ashton Gate as Reading won a five-goal thriller against Bristol City courtesy of another last minute effort - with substitute Mathieu Manset the hero for the Royals.
Blackpool were left to thank Gary Taylor-Fletcher's last gasp intervention as his goal earned Ian Holloway's side a 2-2 draw at Coventry City.

0. So you're a Canadian! Are you dual?
Yes! I'm, as I like to call it, Bi-Curious about my citizenship and finally coming Oooout, after all these years. I made a pilgrimmage to Ottawa (my birthplace) this year with a fellow Canuck, and saw Toronto and my Canadian cousin for the first time in my LIFE at his wedding! Even got to do a set at Yuk-Yuks. I educated, I rapped, I broke a glass. It was THE first impression to leave on Canada. Also, you guys should know that I had a suitcase all packed up and ready to move north for good, had our elections gone south. But because more Americans helped topple a regime than didn't, I can continue to stay in California and hug lots and lots of trees.
1. You did the MTV show, Nick Cannon's Wild N Out, for 4 entire seasons. How would you prepare yourself for this "improv" show?
The main things with improv are to look at what's immediately in front of you, and what is true. There is an amazing book that students of improv get when they study at Improv Olympic (LA or Chicago) called Truth in Comedy. It basically talks about the philosophy that the things that really ring true, or calling it like you see it, is what makes an audience laugh. Most of the time, this is because it's something that nobody is saying but all know to be true...sort of like taking that multi-colored elephant in the room and putting a giant spotlight on him, like on my own body hair.... Ahem. So, for example, in the case of Supermodel Eva Pigford, I had thought to myself all day backstage that, "Man, for a Black girl, she sure is missing some trunk junk." The hamster in my brain started twitching, and at just the right time during Wildstyle, after being "provoked" with a lame-ass curry joke, the right thing to say spit right out of me. (Recap: "Yes I'm Indian, it's true. But, um, are you Black? I got more ass than you!") As fellow player Katt Williams told me afterwards, the reason what I said got such an astounding response is because "It was funny, it was concise, but most of all, it was true!"
2. What is your everyday motivation?
I wake up in the morning like most people: grumpy and groggy. We have to, as human beings, create what we are going to be for the day. I usually think about what I may be challenged with later in the day, like seeing someone who intimidates me, so I'll create "Partnership" as my mantra. Or I might have an extremely packed day of auditions, errands, meetings, very necessary boyfriend time, and I'll create "Ease" for the day. When you have this ONE thing to sort of coast with you, you can remember it during every activity you are doing, to actually influence your own outcome. It ain't fate, it ain't chance, it wasn't all written out. You are doing it all and making EVERYTHING happen right now. And that's not new agey, that's just plain ol' DUH.
3. When did you first realize you could make others laugh?
Sort of going back to the improv question, it's when I was being an acute observer that I noticed this reaction of "delight" from my parents and schoolteachers. I remember being in Kindergarten, and being asked to draw our lives at home. I didn't draw your typical sun rising from behind the roof of a smoked-out chimney on top of a house with 2 windows, a door and giant sunflowers growing in the garden. I had this extremely vivid image in my head of my dad in an Oilers trucker hat, pushing a lawnmower on a Sunday afternoon, with my mom peeping out of the mini-blinds at him. That little image, the detailed way I translated it, blew everyone away. Probably because I also didn't do stick people. I hate stick people. Stick people are inaccurate, especially in Houston! Don't kids know how obese their families are? Anyway...yeah...the lawnmower.
4. Was there a conscious effort into choosing this career path? How did your parents react?
Oh yeah. Extremely conscious. It's called, "I don't believe in any of the work I'm doing at this advertising agency, writing lame copy for tacos and juice, pushing burgers and the US Army on Black kids, only to be told by a 55 year old White client, 'I don't get it,' and revising based on his comments." It made no sense. There was fantastic money in advertising, but my bullshit meter was so high when I lived in Chicago...I mean, if it smelled of hypocrisy and injustice and something I didn't believe in, I had to get out. Anything that makes me unhappy, I don't tolerate it for too long. The one good thing about the ad agency I worked at is that they were offering full tuition reimbursement to study at this little tiny place called The Second City. They saw it as mandatory to go out, get confident, learn some public speaking skills to enhance your presentations...well, I was just in awe, because that's the famous school anyone who's ever been on SNL came from! I loved it because it gave me the confidence to try stand-up, a format where there was no 55-year old client editing me. Improv was literally keeping me alive in Chicago, and I remember I had a call with my parents when I was 22 and I said, "Mummy, Papa, I have to tell you something. (shaky voice) I am just not happy." And I already knew I sounded crazy to them, talking about happiness vs. a good paying job. The way I was brought up, you aren't supposed to give a shit about "happiness." But I couldn't lie to myself any longer. And their reaction was, "Just stick it out. Write a book, you're a great writer, so do that when you come home. But you have to stay there and work and save money and be stable." On and on for the next 8 years, that was always what they would say, even after I got Wild N Out. But I can't be mad at them for not wanting to see their daughter on skid row. :)
5. So has quitting ever been an option for you?
Yeah, I usually give up every two years, and sometimes I want to quit entirely right before I'm about to go on stage. But I hear that's normal.
6. Are you still working in the advertising field? If yes, do you get to use your comic talent at the job?
When there is an opportunity to freelance, I do it, only if it doesn't stink of baloney. It's good money, which never hurts to supplement a comedian's income. Do I get to use my comic talent on the job? Only if I have to get out of coming to work. "Jamie Foxx wants me to audition for his show. See ya!"
7. What does your current answering machine recording say?
Something about how Rasika Mathur is out but you can leave a message with a very tired sounding assistant named Ravi. I don't know, that voicemail greeting has a mind of its own sometimes.
8. On the show you've done impressions of Penelope Cruz and J-Lo. What other impressions are you good at?
I have a great Ellen! And I do a Paris who's recently visited India. Those two killed at a dance competition I hosted in Atlanta, "So You Think You Can Naach?" Indian parents love the Paris thing. My Gollum's really tight. And even though I look nothing like him, it's fun to TRY and be M. Night. Recently, I've started talking like Barack Obama -- whatever I'm saying, I just enthusiastically throw in the word "education." All these characters and more can be yours, folks, for hire during any Awards Gala, Banquet, Competition or other not aforementioned Event. Hit up the email@example.com. Attn: Ravi.
9. Tell me about your favorite character?
The lovely, witty and now quite notorious Nilam Auntie. She was only born on stage the morning of a cousin's Mendhi ceremony where I was to perform. From there, her observational skills and commentary were so easy to fall into, that she just stuck. And I mean stuck. This woman straight up sued me this year, wrangled for her own web show with Desi You, AND even allowed a mockumentary to be made about her life (Nilam Auntie: An International Treasure, soon to be available on Amazon.com) You can even find her on Myspace! A handful of 60 year old men from Holland already have. She reels in a love note a week. I would be remiss if I didn't mention that Nilam Auntie too is available for hire for Anniversaries, Restaurant Openings, and private events as a Roaming Party Guest. She does Wedding Mendhi ceremony entertainment and Reception MCing. You can reach her at firstname.lastname@example.com. Attn: Nilam.
10. What is the best compliment you have received?
There's too many good ones...I've gotten at least three from troops and officers in the Army, Navy and the Marines. These guys will say things like "It gets lonely out here. Because I see you on the MTV show, you make me feel a little closer to home." Can you believe that?? There was also a young lady who saw me speak at Boston's NET-IP conference this past summer, and she wrote me an amazing note about how it changed her. She said she realized how it'd been detrimental for her to discourage her younger sister to pursue her dream of becoming an actress. She called her when she got home and said, "Don't listen to a word I've said. Rasika Mathur is out there doing it, so I know you can too!" I got so high off of that! To light the path for someone? Change their behavior? Change their dynamic in their family so that their relationship is heightened?? Are you kidding me? That's the stuff of stuff! I remember telling those wide-eared professionals who were so hungry to hear that they will be okay and they must go on getting their voices heard-I told them, "Know who your heroes are. I try to remember mine everyday. Gandhi, John Lennon, Jay Adams. People who did things that were not popular at the time." About 30 of them came up after and said, "Thank you for that!" See, you don't have to do or like what I'm doing, but if you can get anything out of the fact that I struggled, but am still picking myself up to make you laugh because that's what I know I'm supposed to be doing, then MORE POWER TO YOU! :)
11. You mentioned Jay Adams. Not a former US President right?'
No! That would be a cross between John Adams and James Madison. Or some powdered whig dude. No, I mean skateboard legend Jay Adams. I watched a few Dogtown/Z-boys documentaries, and he totally changed the direction of my year. This guy was so against anything corporate and commercial, that even when he knew that was the road to getting himself paid and off the streets, he chose to continue as a lifer-skate punk-innovator. As someone who has learned to take risks, I find that inspiring. Right at around that time, I'd also seen Into the Wild, which illustrates the journey of Christopher McCandless aka Alexander Supertramp. Man, I started raging against anything and everything that had to do with the economy, commercialism, the Industry, society, politics, EVERYTHING. I took all this disillusionment, went on a career cleansing, and not in so many words, told some of the dinosaurs in my career and my life to F off, because you know what? I'd had it with being the little cowering pussy mouse waiting for crumbs. Obey. Obey. Obey. Fuck that. And I know I could have been more tactful, but I needed to do that for myself. To be a total punk to people, and know that I'd still land on my own two feet the next day, without consequence. The Hollywood sign did not fall on my head, you know? Nothing but freedom and bold direction followed. And of course, I ride too. This year I bought a midsized carver from Sector Nine, and the only reason I got it is because it has this beautiful rendering of Ganesh on it. Ganesh rides with me, everywhere I go, removing obstacles.
11. Who's your favourite comedic superstar? Who are some of your other influences?
Robin Williams all the way. He is spontaneous combustion. I even got to meet him and riff with him at the San Francisco Sketch Festival this past year! Holy Idol. Take the silliness of the 1992-93 season of SNL, mix it with the wit of Monty Python, and you've got the style of my comedy troupe, Siblings of Doctors.
12. You've got a unique brand of comedy with a global appeal. What's been one of the highlights of your career?
Teaching all races of people about the sari and how to tie one with my Sari (W)rap video. Being jaded sort of forces you to take action on your own, and this little self-produced gem is something I'm so proud of. It's been seen in film festivals across the world! In London, Mexico, Canada, and the US in LA, NYC and Seattle. And it's a nod from the universe to keep doing what I'm doing, and proceed with speed with my "edutainment" sense of humor.
13. What do you want people to remember you for?
For being a geek turned dreamcatcher. Making people laugh, but packing in some words that also made them want to call their mothers and tell them they love them. And for this ass.
14. What pieces of advice do you give someone who wants to become a comedian?
Write down everything. Every thought you have, every thing you say that made someone laugh. And figure out WHY it worked. Know WHY you're funny. Embrace why you're funny. Give it away to people, on stage, as often as you can. I've done too much starting and stopping, and it becomes more paralyzing each time to get up. Just get the momentum of an open mic a week. My friend Ranjit keeps a blog, read how he's committing to doing it once a week and writing about it. www.siblingsofdoctors.com/ranjitblog. Find inspiration before you write or perform. It puts you in the right frame of mind to deliver.
15. What are your own favorite lines?
Everytime a clock reads 9:11, a terrorist gets his wings. If you're tired, either nap, crap or take a lap. And I didn't write it, but it bears repeating: No fatties.
16. You just wrapped on the film adaptation of Michael Muhammed Knight's The Taqwacores. What was it like being a Hindu actress cast in a film about the Muslim Punk scene?
Scary at first. I've grown up with some very old world views about Hindus-Muslims, you know? Not allowed to associate with them, etc. Fortunately for myself, I made up my own mind about who I liked to hang out with. But it seemed like a big enough deal to not tell my parents about. Also because there's a fair amount of raunch in the script, my character included! I play Fatima, and she is so representative of those really good girls who have very innocent encounters with boys…that end up schooling them a little. I know there are a million girls out there who can relate to that. Then there was the punk rock element. I knew very little about punk, so friends turned me on to the Sex Pistols, Sham 69, Minor Threat, etc. And then there's the Muslim-Punk scene. I went to mosques in LA, read Quran on my iPhone, and then I had to sort of disregard it because we're talking about kids who interpet their own faith, you know? So all these elements are what made me say, "This is scary. But important to show and be a part of. All the reasons not to do it … are the reasons to do it." I had SUCH amazing experiences on that set. All in the form of learning. I just saw myself as a student of independent f-you films. And I loved it. And boy did I have great company. Also there is a real life Taqwacore band documentary coming out in Canada first, I hear. So you guys should be all over that. Oh, and I did tell my parents. They're thrilled!
17 The Vagina Monologues now has a South Asian adaptation called "Yoni Ki Baat." This year, the San Francisco event asked you to be the Special Guest Performer. How was that?
Shocking in a good way, madcap fun for me to go all out with my Kama Sutra bit. Sisterhood. Kinship. Empowering for the LGBT community of San Francisco and being there in inspired laughter with them. The voices were so polished. And it was such an easy and open forum to say anything we wanted. It was just received with open arms. And open yonis.
18. What are your current projects and how can people see you perform?
My 3-man sketch comedy troupe Siblings of Doctors (myself, Chicago writer Ranjit Souri and LA actor Danny Pudi) is available to do college shows and professional conventions, be it doctor, lawyer, engineer or investor (www.siblingsofdoctors.com). I am currently producing my very first Musical Comedy Album, which will be available on the Rukus Avenue label and on iTunes next year. And on www.rasikamathur.com, you can check out upcoming shows, appearances and videos.

Jennifer Lopez is set to "Dance Again" on the American Idol stage! The Boricua pop star and former judge will return for a finale performance next month, an exclusive source told E! News. While we would love for J.Lo to shake her famous curvas on the show, her camp has not confirmed reports as of yet.
Rumors about Lopez's live performance comes just a week after reports claimed that the diva was asked to replace Mariah Carey or Nick Minaj as a judge. A Fox spokeswoman denied the claims and said to Hollywood Reporter, "This is just another ridiculous Idol judge rumor, likely started by talks of Jennifer performing on the finale."
J.Lo was also recently asked on the red carpet whether or not she would return to Idol. She told Extra, "I don't have much to say about that right now…I think it's too far off to say right now."
Sounds like there's a possibility! Would you love to see J.Lo back on Idol?

Quite interesting, indeed. But I see two problems with your proposition : The first one may seem a detail, but has not yet been settled once for all : RDF does not allow anonymous nodes. (so called anonymous resources are a syntactical artifact, but have no correspondance in the model). We have to decide once for all whether such nodes exist in the RDF model, and if so, what they mean. (Your proposition is an interesting first step in that way). The second problem I see is the following: [*] ^ | (type) | [John]--(drinks)-->[ ]--(type)-->[Beverage] Would the graph above mean : "John drinks every beverage" forall x, (drink John x) => (beverage x) "John drinks only beverages" forall x, (drink John x) <= (beverage x) "John drinks everything, and everything is a beverage" forall x, (drink John x) ^ (beverage x) RDF was initially proposed to express simple facts. Rules look as "meta-facts" to me, so we need a meta- language to express rules about RDF facts. The good thing with RDF is that it can always(?) be used as a meta-language, including for itself (see RDFSchema). So I would rather express that "John drinks any beverage" using "two-level" RDF : [Graph1]--(implies)-->[Graph2] Graph1: [var:1]--(type)-->Beverage Graph2: [John]--(drinks)-->[var:1] Might look cumbersome, but look sound to me. Have a look at Graham Klyne's paper about Contexts in RDF, it might help in getting convinced :) http://public.research.mimesweeper.com/RDF/RDFContexts.html Pierre-Antoine PS: wouldn't that thread be more appropriate on www-rdf- logic ?? ______________________________________________________ Boîte aux lettres - Caramail - http://www.caramail.comReceived on Wednesday, 18 October 2000 10:22:00 UTC

Zimbabwe: increased vulnerability of the poorest calls for immediate action
09-06-2009 Interview
The ICRC has been working in Zimbabwe for almost 30 years, but since the beginning of 2009 there has been a clear shift towards emergency operations. Thomas Merkelbach is the head of the ICRC regional delegation in Harare. He explains the organization's priorities.
Years of economic hardship have affected many Zimbabweans' access to health care, food and water. Recent months have seen a certain increase in regional and international support, but long-term investment will be needed to rebuild the country's public services. The needs are huge, many people live in great poverty, and food production is unlikely to rise in the near future.
At the end of 2008, the ICRC and its partners in the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement started to help the authorities deal with the cholera outbreak in the country, the worst epidemic to hit the country in 14 years.
The ICRC has been supporting eight clinics in Harare's densely populated suburbs since mid-2008 and 13 other health facilities in rural areas for number of years.
Since April 2009, the ICRC has also been providing food for 6,300 detainees. Working with the prison authorities, the ICRC has set up therapeutic feeding programmes and has begun improving cooking facilities and water systems in prisons. Once the food situation has stabilized, the ICRC will continue to assess conditions of detention, refurbish kitchen and sanitation facilities and upgrade water supply systems. In addition, we will work to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases and will ensure that detainees receive the treatment they require in the event of any outbreak of disease such as cholera. The ICRC has given blankets and soap to 5,000 detainees and will continue to distribute these items, along with clothing and cooking utensils. We will work with the authorities to ensure that improvements achieved in the prison food situation are maintained.
What are ICRC prison visits?
All over the world, the ICRC visits people deprived of their freedom to assess whether they are being treated according to the international standards of hu manitarian law and human rights law. Regular visits by its delegates enable the ICRC to track prisoners'whereabouts and make recommendations to the authorities about any improvements to conditions that may be necessary.
In Zimbabwe, the ICRC is helping the authorities to meet the basic needs of the detainees by providing additional food and by improving the water supply and health services.
What else are you doing in the countries you cover?
The ICRC is supporting other vulnerable communities in Zimbabwe, including those affected by violence in 2008. In the provinces of Mashonaland Central and Mashonaland East, 63,500 people living in extreme poverty, including those returning home, will receive agricultural items and training to help them rebuild their livelihoods.
More resources are needed for health facilities, in particular to provide transport allowances for medical staff and to begin supporting four additional polyclinics in Harare. The ICRC is improving access to water and sanitation for rural communities and is exploring the possibility of helping the Harare water board renovate Morton Jaffray Water Treatment Plant. Our support would consist of providing technical expertise and donating equipment to improve the quality and quantity of the water the plant supplies to Harare and its outskirts, in coordination with other humanitarian organizations.
The regional delegation in Harare also oversees the ICRC's activities in Botswana, Namibia, Malawi and Zambia. In each of those countries, and in Zimbabwe, the ICRC is supporting the national Red Cross Societies and promoting international humanitarian law and human rights law among government authorities, the armed forces (especially the growing regional peacekeeping brigade of the Southern African Development Community), police, universities, civ il society, young people and children.
All our activities are coordinated with partners within the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and other humanitarian organizations.

Bretaña-1WD Recovers Oil in Transition Zone, Increases Recoverable Oil Potential
CALGARY, June 2, 2014 /CNW/ - Gran Tierra Energy Inc. ("Gran Tierra Energy") (NYSE MKT: GTE, TSX: GTE), a company focused on oil exploration and production in South America, today provided an operations update for its 2014 work program.
"Gran Tierra Energy's 2014 drilling campaign is well under way, and initial well test results are providing valuable insights for the Bretaña and Moqueta oil fields in Peru and Colombia," said Dana Coffield, President and Chief Executive Officer of Gran Tierra Energy. "Testing of the newly-drilled Bretaña water disposal well indicates moveable oil saturation in the transition zone where no reserves had been assigned previously, with potential for adding substantial additional recoverable resources in the field. Completion of the well also keeps us on track to initiate the Long Term Test in the fourth quarter of this year. The Zapotero-1 well was drilled approximately 2,000 feet lower than the lowest known oil on the Moqueta structure. The Zapotero-1 well tested three zones that resulted in produced water. We are currently investigating if the Zapotero-1 well can be converted to a water injection well to maintain reservoir pressure at the Moqueta field to enhance production in the field. This well result also assists in planning the target depth for the Corunta exploration well that will be drilled on the opposite flank of Moqueta later this year. The well will target an intermediate depth, below the lowest known oil in the Moqueta field and shallower than the reservoirs in Zapotero-1, to further define the oil-water contact location and ultimate size of the Moqueta oil accumulation," concluded Coffield.
Block 95, Bretaña Field (Gran Tierra Energy 100% Working Interest ("WI") and Operator)
The Bretaña-1WD water disposal well was spud on April 10, 2014, and reached a total true vertical depth of 10,038 feet on May 17, 2014. Modular Dynamics Testing was conducted to investigate a thick oil-water transition zone where reserves have not previously been assigned. Oil was recovered from the transition zone with preliminary analysis suggesting approximately two meters of additional pay for the field, which should have a positive impact on recoverable oil resource in the Bretaña field due to the large aerial extent of the reservoir in the structure at that depth.
Chaza Block, Putumayo Basin (100% WI and Operator)
The Zapotero-1 exploration well reached a total true vertical depth of 7,549 feet. Production testing of the well indicates the presence of water in the Villeta T and U Sandstones, and in the Caballos formation. Gran Tierra Energy is now investigating a possible pressure communication between Zapotero-1 and Moqueta-3, and the potential to convert Zapotero-1 into a water injector to enhance production from the Moqueta field.
Moqueta-13 development well was spud on May 25, 2014 and is drilling in a southeast direction from the Moqueta-1 well pad. Moqueta-13 is intended to add to the production of the Moqueta field.

Well, our time with the Wisteria Lane ladies has come to an end. Did you catch the final two-hour episode?
(Spoiler alert! Don't read unless you've already watched. Or, well, plan to.)
In true Desperate Houswives fashion, the show ended with pivotal life moments: a death, a wedding and a birth. Karen confesses to killing Ramon, and then, because she's dying of cancer, she gets let off. Bree gets to breathe a sigh of relief and goes on to be with her lawyer-turned-love Tripp.
Tom and Lynette finally decide to get back together, and everything was right with the world, until Lynette gets a job offer in New York. Uh oh?
Renee gets married, Karen passes away, and Julie's baby is born. (Cue "Circle of Life.")
The final voiceover by Mary Alice gave us the closing we needed: Tom and Lynette moved to New York and raised six grandchildren; Bree married Tripp, moved to Kentucky and was elected to the state legislature; Carlos helped Gaby create a shopping website which leads to a move to California and a HSN show; and Susan ends up handing over her keys to a new resident who has some secrets of her own. Carlos Solis, in a nod to the very first episodes of the show, hires a female gardener (Hah!).
What did you think of the finale? Are you satisfied with the ending of the show?

It is not clear if Redmond has asked Vestberg, who as CEO of the Swedish firm runs one of the world's largest telecommunications equipment makers. Wall Street was a little surprised that his name came up at all. Potential candidates ranging from company insiders Satya Nadella and Tony Bates to several outsiders. Most of them expected Ford Motor CEO Alan Mulally to take the top job but he took himself off the list recently.
Sources familiar with the company claim that with Mulally out of the running, the list of candidates able to run a globe-spanning software corporation struggling to expand into the mobile software and devices markets was thin. In a blog post on the company's website in December, Microsoft's lead independent director John Thompson, who is spearheading the search, emphasized the need for a CEO with good tech credentials and "an ability to lead a highly technical organization and work with top technical talent."
Microsoft is expected to come up with an announcement on a new CEO by February at the latest.

Maybe volume managers have improved since I last used them in anger, but my only concern with that approach is the ongoing growth. That is, you've got (say) 100 disks over which your volumes are all striped, but then management says "you can have 4 new disks each week/month/year" for growth. Such a finanically-imposed policy, resulted in a nice humming batch of 100-disk-stripe volumes on day 1, plus an ever increasing number of cruddy 4-disk-stripe volumes, which you had to fill before management would cough up some dosh for another 4.
Do vol mgr's nowadays have the ability to "rebalance" the volumes ala ASM to avoid this? And if so, presumably you're still up for a nasty IO spike whilst it occurs ?

Hey, Mike Brown: Free J.J. Hickson!May 4, 2010
Monday night was the first time many NBA fans have seen the usually mild-mannered Mike Brown come out agitated and frustrated, so much so that he raised his voice while talking to reporters and, yes, was even bleeped out during his postgame press conference.
He had every reason to be. At this time a year ago, his Cleveland Cavaliers were well on their way to a ruthless, merciless four-game sweep of the overmatched Atlanta Hawks in this very round of the playoffs.
It may have been experiences like that very series that now have Brown's Cavs feeling a little bit of a sense of entitlement after coming out with two lackluster performances to open their second-round bout against the Boston Celtics. And instead of being in firm control of the series, the Cavaliers—picked by many to capture their first-ever NBA title this spring—now head to Boston for game three tied at 1-1 in this best-of-seven.
Questioning his team's energy and focus is fine, but if Brown wants to dig a little bit deeper to find answers as to why his team has struggled so much so far in these first two games against Boston, then he needs to take a look in the mirror.
In particular, Brown needs to ask himself why he is not finding more minutes for sophomore big man J.J. Hickson, who has been a heck of a spark for the Cavaliers this season whenever they have been matched up with Boston. In game one of this series, Hickson only played 12 minutes, but he scored 11 points on 5-of-7 shooting while the Cavs were plus-five with him on the court.
In game two, Hickson played 19 minutes, but he still left an imprint on the game by attacking the rim hard and getting to the rack whenever he had the chance. He finished with 13 points on 4-of-6 shooting while going 5-of-7 from the charity stripe. The Cavaliers, who were drubbed by 18, were only minus-seven as a unit when Hickson was on the floor.
Brown, however, has chosen to go more with Shaquille O'Neal over Hickson. Sure, if this was either a legends contest or a Shaq from 10 years ago, this would never be an argument. But Shaq is 38, the oldest player in the league, and simply has not meshed well with the Cavs in matchups with the Celtics this year.
In game one, Brown played O'Neal for 20 minutes, and although he didn't put up gaudy numbers, Shaq did end up getting some key plays down the stretch to help the Cavs take the 101-93 victory. However, in game two, O'Neal played the same number of minutes as Hickson, but only put up nine points on 4-of-10 shooting. Cleveland was minus-18 with him on the floor.
What seems like simple logic would seem even simpler when you see that this is not some sort of breaking news for the Cavs. In a regular season game earlier this year in Boston, the Cavs struggled to a slow start against the Celtics in falling to a double-digit deficit. Then Celtics forward Glen Davis inadvertently hit Shaq's right hand, leading to a sprained right thumb for the Cavs center.
In came Hickson following the injury, and the Cavaliers, who were trailing by double figures at the time of O'Neal's injury, roared back to administer a back-alley whipping on the C's, 108-88. The Cavs were minus-10 with Shaq on the floor but wound up plus-27 with the 6'9", 242-pound Hickson.
Shaq's size may come in handy later on in these playoffs against Orlando and the Los Angeles, but the Cavs have to dump the Celtics first to get that far. And O'Neal is every bit as detrimental against Boston as he would be advantageous against the Magic or Lakers.
Brown may or may not get a more focused and motivated team in game three. He does not control that as much as he would like. But one thing is for sure: he would definitely have a better team if he played the 21-year-old Hickson far, far, more than the 38-year-old O'Neal.
And that much he does control.

|Panoramas of the World
The reason why the Colosseum is called Amphitheatrum Flavium is because it was built by the kings of the Flavish dynasty. It was opened in the year 80 AD.
The capacity is being estimated at approximately 50,000 to 90,000 people. The different social classes were seated separately from each other. In the Colosseum, gladiators fought against each other or against wild animals to amuse the people. Usually it ended with their death. The last gladiator fights were conducted at the beginning of the 5th century, the last animal fights about 100 years later.
In 1349, the southern front collapsed due to an earthquake. Over several centuries, the Romans used the Colosseum as a quarry. That ended however, when Pope Benedikt XIV called the Colosseum a holy place in the memory of the Christian martyrs who had lost their blood here.

text: Let me start off by saying that I do not own a single hammock as of yet. I am just looking into this as an option as far as something to spend my free time enjoying (I'm normally very busy). I have a metal stand from an old hammock to hook it to to enjoy in the back yard, and I am wanting to try building my own. The only problem is that I do not know how to sew, I was thinking I might con a family member into sewing the hammock for me and then maybe the tarp when Its time for me to build one (going to start with a cheap standard blue tarp from Harbor Freight for now. I already know what kind of suspension I want to use for hanging my hammock when I get around to hanging in the trees. So, my question is how hard is that hammock going to be to make? I like the 2 layers design, and I want to add the Bug Net at a later date. If I take a short lesson on sewing from the aforementioned family member, would this be something I could take on easily without fear of ruining material, etc. Also Im thinking 1.9 Ripstop Nylon for the hammock. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Also, if it matters, My budget is TIGHT to say the least, any input on cheaper fabric that could be just as strong would be appreciated.


text: Ok, the wife and I were watching the movie, Guess Who last night and got into a little debate. I said something along the lines of "I know it's just a movie but c'mon, they can't seriously expect me to buy into a black man (Bernie Mac's character) that is a NASCAR fan". She said that was just a stereotype. Yes, I agree that it is a sterotype. But some sterotypes aren't necessarily that far off base (yes, I know that there are always exceptions to the rules). Do black folks give a rat's ass about NASCAR? I always viewed it as a sport......and I use that term loosely.....that mainly rednecks enjoy. What do you think?

While some of red wine's health benefits may still be under investigation, new research points to a compound in red wine that might help fight the battle of the bulge. According to a recent Purdue University study, the compound seems to be able to block cellular processes that allow fat cells to develop, opening a door to a potential method to control obesity.
It may sound too good to be true (drinking wine to lose weight?), but Kee-Hong Kim, assistant professor in the Department of Food Science at Purdue University, says the study holds promise. The compound, piceatannol, has a similar chemical structure to resveratrol, which has been linked to many of the health benefits of moderate red wine consumption.
"Recent studies suggested that piceatannol has strong anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer, in certain cancer types, activities," Kim says. "Our study was the first to show a potential beneficial effect of piceatannol in controlling body fat cell development."
Piceatannol isn't just found in red wine either. The compound is present in grapes, grape juice, berries, peanuts, and passion fruit. However, no one source particularly has a lot of piceatannol in it, Kim says.
"While both piceatannol and resveratrol are suggested to be beneficial to health, they exist in low quantities in the fruits mentioned above," he says. "Thus, long-term consumption of these foods or consumption of piceatannol-enriched dietary supplement could help to maintain healthy body weight."
At this stage of the research, the idea of piceatannol resulting in weight-loss is just a hypothesis. Kim is quick to mention that his research was done mainly from a cultured cell study. His next step will be to test piceatannol in animals and humans.
"We are currently working on testing the effect of piceatannol on the mouse model of obesity," Kim says. "We are just about to learn the health benefit of piceatannol, which means more studies in animals and humans are needed to clearly understand the function of piceatannol in obesity and obesity-related health complications, such as type 2 diabetes and heart diseases."
In the meantime, should you start trading in your beer for red wine? As always, moderation is the name of the game. Kim himself has about two to four drinks a week. Current health recommendations for alcohol consumption are one or fewer drinks for women a day and two for men.
"According to The Mayo Clinic, wine, particularly red wine, in moderation, has long been thought to promote health," he says. "This is apparently due to the fact that red wine has greater amount of antioxidants and other bioactive compounds such as resveratrol and now piceatannol. However, the detrimental role of alcohol in health, when consumed in a large amount, should be warned."
Do you drink red wine? Will you trade your usual drink in for red wine, hoping to reap some of piceatannol's suspected health benefits? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

Committee to discuss bus privatisation proposal
22/01/2014 - 07:50:15Back to Ireland Home
A proposal to privatise 10% of the country's public bus system will come under scrutiny today at the Oireachtas Transport Committee.
The National Transport Authority has put forward a plan that would allow private operators to compete for routes currently operated by Bus Eireann and Dublin Bus.
Unions are opposed to the idea - saying it will impact on their members pay and job security - and as well as the quality and reliability of the bus network.
Chairman of the Transport Committee, Fine Gael's John O'Mahoney, says the focus must be on providing the best possible bus service.
"The bottom line here is that the consumers need good and efficient bus services," Deputy O'Mahony said.
"And there's a suggestion here of seeing how that can be delivered (utilising) if you like, competitive tendering between public and private (operators)."

Joseph M. Smith Community Health Center plans new facility on state property in Brighton
The Joseph M. Smith Community Health Center hopes to construct a new, $19.4-million medical building on state-owned property in Brighton where a State Police barracks and salt and sand maintenance facility currently operate, officials said.
State officials said the barracks and the salt and sand facility will move to other yet-to-be determined sites.
The new medical facility would allow the health center to consolidate two of the five medical sites it currently operates in Allston, Brighton, and Waltham.
Plans call for a 45,000 square-foot community medical center and parking space that would be completed by spring 2015, according to the proposal the health organization has outlined in a letter.
To help kick-start funding for the new center, the organization has received a $5 million federal grant authorized through the federal health care law. The grant, announced earlier this spring, requires that the new facility is certified for occupancy by April 30, 2015.
The proposal calls for a center that would be between two and three stories tall and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certifiable.
The building's entrance would face Western Avenue, according to the proposal. A portion of the property will be reserved so the state can build a new, 12,000 square-foot building. Construction would require environmental remediation and plans for the new new medical building would likely require further public approval.
The 2.2-acre site is bordered by Soldiers Field Road to the north and Western Ave to the south. The abutting property to the west houses the historic Charles River Speedway headquarters building, which the state is in the process of exploring ways to preserve and reuse.
Through legislation approved two years ago, the state has agreed to lease the property to the nonprofit health organization for a to-be-determined fair market rate for 50 years, with two 10-year lease extension options. The property is worth about $3.5 million, according to the city.
The organization's existing medical locations in Allston – its main site at 287 Western Ave. and vision center at 300 Western Ave. – would consolidate into the new building, along with its administrative offices at 1380 Soldier's Field Road, officials said.
The new facility would allow the health organization to serve an additional 5,500 patients, nearly doubling the roughly 6,000 patients served currently at the two Western Avenue locations, the proposal said.
The health organization is working to secure another $15 million though financing and fundraising over the next three years to defray the costs of the entire project, officials said.
The organization also plans to sell a half-acre of property it owns in Allston and use the sale's proceeds toward the new facility's cost, according to Paola Ferrer, the organization's development director.
"While we purchased the Cambridge Street lot many years ago at market rate with the intent to expand there, it is now too small to meet our growth and expansion needs," Ferrer wrote in an online forum for neighborhood residents.
The property comprises a small area of green space and a parking lot along Cambridge Street near where the roadway meets with Harvard Avenue. That site used to house the Washington Allston School, which opened in 1879 burned down in 1977. The city assesses the property's worth at nearly $470,000.
Under the leadership of Allston resident Joseph M. Smith, the community health center was established in 1974 at the Charlesview Apartments complex. The organization said it now serves a total of nearly 12,000 patients annually across its five locations.
"The demand for services at our health center has been growing exponentially," Ferrer wrote. The organization has "more patients seeking care than we have the space to serve at this time."
In early May, the organization announced it was one of 11 Massachusetts community health centers selected to share in Affordable Care Act grants totaling nearly $34 million – money that federal officials estimate will help the centers provide care to roughly 42,500 new patients.
