Rodger's Quick Take
Published 8:16 pm, Monday, September 9, 2013
Let me remind you that it was only Week 1 of the NFL season, and lots can and will change moving forward. Let's not overreact to the Giants turning the ball over six times. That won't happen again the rest of the season. Let's not overreact to solid performances from rookie quarterbacks Geno Smith and EJ Manuel I thought both those guys did a nice job for the Jets and Bills, respectively, but it's only one game. Let's see how Smith and the Jets respond Thursday night at New England. We might have a completely different take on Friday. NewsChannel 13's Rodger Wyland can be heard weekdays from 9 a.m. to noon on WOFX 980 AM.

I love wooden stamps but hate the large amount of space needed to store them. When I saw this product on a podcast I knew this was the answer to my prayers.
When they arrived, very quickly I might add, I was so excited. I went to my scrapcorner and immeditally started pulling my stamps apart~Bad Idea~one day I will learn to read directions first=) But once I got everything together and did as I was told, everything worked great.
I had a large bag and a few boxes full of wood mounted stamps so I purchased 4 sheets to get me started. 85% of my stamps have been converted and only one sheet has been used. AWESOME product.
I use StazOn black ink to stamp my image on the cling side of the foam. The sticky side is REALLY sticky so I have to clean my Xacto knife often. Sometimes I use scissor but find that they tend to cut at an angle. My stamped image does not always line up perfectly with the rubber stamp but its a good guide and allows me to quickly find exactly what Im looking for.
Now instead of storing my rubber stamps in a disorganized bag or box, they are in clear CD cases, organized and easy to get to. The best part, they take up at least 200% less space then they did before! Oh, and some of the wooden blocks have been converted to new tools, such as a ink dabber by adding a little velcro and some felt. Adding a few holes with a drill , the larger blocks are perfect paint brush holders.
IF you want to make certain that your unmounted rubber stamps stick to a surface, this is it! The only drawback is needing to clean your scissors mid-way through cutting them out. By that I mean, after cutting out 5 or so the scissors needed to be cleaned with fingernail polish remover to get the adhesive off the scissors. There is no question that the material will hold the stamps.
I purchased the 1/8 inch thick EZ mount cling foam to convert my wood mount stamps to cling mount to save space and make them easier to find. The conversion was fairly easy. I read several reviews and tips for using the EX mount foam and found that for me it works best if I remove the stamp from the wood block and foam leaving just the rubber part then trace the stamp onto the backing paper and cut before removing the backing paper. This made it less sticky on my scissors. I also found that I could easily remove the adhesive from my scissors with a baby wipe.
The adhesive on the EX mount foam is strong and holds the foam to the rubber stamp very well. The cling side is amazingly strong as well and there is not need to add anything sticky to it. I purchased 2 sheets and was able to do 10 stamp sets, so about 5 sets per sheet depending on the size and number of stamps in the set. I will need about 10 more sheets to finish my project but it is going well so far!
I have been searching and searching for a product like this. I make my own custom clear stamps and never been happy with the double sided tape to hold them to the block. This product is just the thing! Clings great and then peels off the block when done. I will continue to purchase this product and highly recommend.
Only thing that would make this product better is someone to cut my stamps and cling out for me. Works like a charm. Finally got all my loose stamps mounted and use them like I need to. Using this product allows me to add to my stamp collection so EZzzzy and affordable.

Having problems with your Olympus SP-350 Digital Camera ?
Number of pictures

Hope you're doing well, and enduring these gray days as cheerfully as possible.
I'm presenting a participatory performance piece called 'Furrow' at the Intimately Public performance festival produced by the Hillyer Art Space this coming Sunday, May 22, 3-4pm at the Spanish Steps near Dupont Circle.
I would be honored if you would participate with me! Please read on for details, and let me know if you can join me this Sunday. No performance experience necessary – this is a simple, contemplative piece, and everyone is invited to participate. (Please feel free to forward this to invitation to anyone who might be interested!)
Where: Spanish Steps (Decatur Place and 22nd St, NW)
When: Sunday, May 22, 2016
2:00pm — call
3:00-4:00pm — Furrow performance at Spanish Steps
- Nicole Salimbene "Contemplating Water"
- Ellery Bryan "/Other"
- Petra Nahja Collins "Thorny Bites"
What: 'Furrow' is a participatory performance piece comprised of three simple movement scores lasting 10 minutes each, performed in a cycle; the cycle repeats twice over the course of one hour.
Score 1: Furrow
Score 2: Follow
Participants queue at bottom of Spanish Steps. One at a time, participants walk up and down the entire staircase three times, at their own pace, following their own pathway. Participants take turns, so there is always one person moving up and down the steps, for a duration of 10 minutes. Paces can vary; waiting and watching is part of the score.
Score 3: Fallow
Participants meander freely up and down the steps at the same time for a duration of 10 minutes. Or, quiet sitting and observing can also be part of the score. Writing and photography prompts will be provided so participants can use the time to observe the environment closely and interact with it in a creative, personal way, and share their musings with others, if desired.
After two cycles (one hour), participants gather at the bottom of the Spanish Steps and proceed together to Dupont Circle, where more performances from other artists will take place!
'Furrow' is about three things. First, this piece draws attention to how each of us moves regularly through our daily pathways, commutes and routines, mostly unconscious of the details of our surroundings, sometimes even experiencing these passages as ruts. Taking time to experience a familiar space slowly, contemplatively, and with the intention of seeing beauty and detail helps awakens our senses and enliven our dulled perceptions. Second, as we move through our familiar spaces, we often seed them with memories and moods from particular times and experiences of the past, so that the spaces themselves come to hold meaning for us. We might feel these places are 'ours' even though they are public spaces, belonging to no one and everyone. 'Furrow' encourages us to embed an act of 'public intimacy' into our personal relationship with the Spanish Steps and enrich it with the experience of co-owning this special place with others. Finally, 'Furrow' is about the simple pleasure of sowing seeds of creativity and sociability, and reaping an experience of time well spent.

Mental Health and ArchitectureComments (1)
Delisted Expert Says...
Wow - a fascinating question! Architecture and interior design for mental health! As of right now, I do not know if such a field exists or if such research exists. There was a study or two about color and prison inmates (blue was found to be soothing) but I am not aware of any specific studies about architecture for anti-anxiety. There are facilities built with mental health population needs in mind - and folks who build those sorts of things may know of where to start or how to help... If you find anything that works, please let us know!
I did a quick google search:
Architects for Health, http://www.architectsforhealth.com/
Behavioral Health Design, http://www.bernarch.com/Healthcare-Psychiatric.htm
The International Academy for Design and Health, http://www.designandhealth.com/
The final answers may not be found there, but they might be a place to start. Best wishes to you in your search!

Quick Q&A
ST. THOMAS ACADEMY, Sr., TRACK
Schneeman is wrapping up his senior season as a member of the Cadets' boys' track team two months after winning the 100-yard freestyle in the Class 1A swimming and diving state meet. He was instrumental in the Cadets winning back-to-back state championships in the pool in 2012 and 2013. Here is a closer look at Schneeman:
The best movie I've seen in the past year: "The Dark Knight Rises."
Three words or phrases my friends or teammates might use to describe me? Outgoing, selfless, dedicated.
Three songs I never skip on my iPod are … "I Drive Your Truck" by Lee Brice; "Cruise Remix" by Nelly; "Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons.
What is your favorite meal prior to a meet? Jimmy John's Gargantuan sub.
At my first varsity practice, I felt … like I did not belong there, but that I had to be willing to work hard to make myself fit in.
What is your most memorable moment as a high school athlete? Bringing back the [swimming] state championship trophy my junior year.
If you could change one thing about high school sports, what would it be? That St. Thomas Academy is not allowed to get kicked out of the [Classic Suburban] conference for being too good.
How do you balance school and sports during the year? When I get home from my sports, I jump right into my homework, so that I can still get to bed at a decent time.
Do you have a secret talent — and if so, what is it? I can vibrate my eyes and hold a handstand for a long time.
In 10 years, I hope I'm … successful, secured in a nice home, and a good husband and father.

Bassicly Alone is a one of-a-kind one man show! --Dave Richards Showcase Magazine, Erie Times. "An original who's in a musical category all by himself.

Music in motion........ Motorized helmets sporting various spinning or moving objects remotely controlled by an easy access on off switch adorned the cranium of a determined bassist. Imagination fused with real time expression while flying fingers explored the full range of a 1978 fender precission bass. The room resonated a positive tone as cheers and laughter glittered through the air at various punch lines or the final thump of a tune. This entertainer was the servant of the audience and if he was deemed to be worthy would be lifted to unforeseen heights. I have seen the unforeseen and it was good! Thank you my dear patrons! The songs featured on this album were recorded from 1992 till 1994 except Noah's Sky recorded in 1998. Louis Nicolia of the Erie Philharmonic graces Brother Vincent with violin on South Pier Soliloquy and Noah's Sky. Thank you Louis for displaying your talent on this collection of music!

Pros: a thoughtful look at the lives of the people who make our clothes
Cons: doesn't discuss where the missing "savings" have gone
Review by okiedoke
February, 07 2013
Pros: Very personal and touching look at the lives of some across the world.
Cons: Not a very factual book, so stay away if you are looking for that.
Review by moneysaver3
November, 14 2008
Pros: An excellent read that prompts indepth questions and spurs the reader to action.
Cons: The reader may consider it to be very heavy at times.
From the Preface: I was made in America. My 'Jingle These' Christmas boxers were MADE IN BANGLADESH. I had an all-American childhood in rural Ohio. My all-American blue jeans were MADE IN CAMBODIA. I wore flip-flops every day for a year when I worked as a SCUBA diving instructor in Key West. They were MADE IN CHINA. One day while staring at a pile of clothes on the floor, I noticed the tag of my favorite T-shirt: MADE IN HONDURAS. I read the tag. My mind wandered. A quest was born. 'Timmerman is a fun tour guide, rather than a stern moralizer. His quest to find community around the world is an inspiration to anyone beginning to ask what's been lost in the new global economy.' —John Bowe, author of Nobodies: Modern American Slave Labor and the Dark Side of the New Global Economy 'It's one thing to talk about our disastrous trade policy.It's quite another to live with the consequences.

Double win for Tottenham's Bale at English awardsBy ROB HARRIS , Associated Press
Apr. 28, 2013 6:55 PM ET
LONDON (AP) — Still to win any trophies with Tottenham, Gareth Bale collected the top two awards in English football on Sunday to cement his status as one of the sport's most talented players.

The Wales forward was voted player of the year and the young player of the year by his fellow professionals in English football.
"It's a massive honor," said Bale, who was also voted player of the year in 2011. "To be voted by your peers is one of the biggest things in the game. It's great to win it and I am delighted."
The 23-year-old Bale beat off competition from Luis Suarez, Robin van Persie, Juan Mata, Eden Hazard and Michael Carrick to win the main Professional Footballers' Association award.
Only two other players have done the PFA double: former Aston Villa striker Andy Gray in 1977 and Cristiano Ronaldo in 2007 when he was with Manchester United.
Bale's ability to bamboozle defenses and score from set-pieces has led to inevitable comparisons with Ronaldo, who is now starring for Real Madrid.
"Both are extremely technical, powerful and pacey," Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas said. "They grew up as strikers but became wingers. Gareth is now playing a more advanced role. Ronaldo is also able to play that role up front."
Bale's scintillating displays have produced 24 goals and been crucial to Tottenham sitting fifth in the Premier League to remain in the hunt for the four Champions League places in the closing weeks of the season.
Bale's career has witnessed a remarkable turnaround since he joined Tottenham at 17 in 2007 for 5 million pounds (then $8 million) and endured a frustrating start.
A series of injuries stymied his progress and he played 24 league games across two years before finally featuring on a winning side.
Harry Redknapp, who was then in charge of Tottenham, pushed Bale forward onto the left wing, allowing him to attack without having to think so much about the defensive aspect of his game.
Bale has kept his searing pace despite developing a more robust physique that allows him to shrug off opponents, while often now playing in a more central attacking position.
"I have been shooting a lot more and I have been coming inside a lot more, too," he said at the awards' ceremony in London. "I have a few less assists this year, but I am in more scoring positions these days and that has obviously helped my scoring tally."
Bale was also selected in the Premier League team of the year along with Liverpool striker Luis Suarez, who is currently serving a 10-game ban for biting an opponent. The voting took place before Suarez sank his teeth into Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic last Sunday, and his name was booed when it was read out at the ceremony.
In the team of the year, Manchester United's David De Gea was picked as goalkeeper, while the defenders are Pablo Zabaleta (Manchester City), Jan Vertonghen (Tottenham), Rio Ferdinand (Manchester United) and Leighton Baines (Everton).
Chelsea duo Juan Mata and Eden Hazard, Manchester United's Michael Carrick are in midfield, while Manchester United striker Robin van Persie also features with Bale and Suarez.
PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor wishes Suarez followed the lead of Bale and Van Persie in setting a better example to youngsters.
"Everyone knows Suarez is a great footballer. I just wish at times he could fall into line because footballers are role models and Gareth and Robin van Persie are really good examples for the younger generation," Taylor said.

Doctors at the James Street Family Practice in Louth have gone into partnership with the Tasburgh Lodge Surgery in Woodhall Spa for patient care.
The Tasburgh Lodge Surgery, founded by the Armour family before the start of the NHS, has been run for the past 26 years by Dr Keith Butter, who is now retiring.
Some years ago, he approached the James Street Practice to take over the running of the surgery, because of his 'confidence and trust' in the doctors there.
From this month xperienced doctors from James Street will go to Woodhall Spa to work on a rotational basis.
As a result, the practice will be taking on a new partner in the form of Dr Anna Henderson, an experienced doctor from a teaching practice in Nottingham.
Both say they will practices will benefit from the merger: "Woodhall Spa will gain from modernisation, collaboration and innovation and James Street Doctors will benefit from consolidation, integration and diversification."
Dr Butter will continue to work in the Woodhall Spa Practice for some time into his retirement, but the James Street Doctors will gradually take the load from him over time.

Litigation Release No. 20709 / September 9, 2008
SEC v. Michael E. Kelly, et al., Case No. 1:07-CV-4979 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois
Court Permanently Enjoins Weatherford, Texas Resident Carl Lee and His Company Carl Lee and Associates, Inc. from Violating Certain Antifraud and Registration Provisions
The Securities and Exchange Commission announced that on September 5, 2008, Judge Elaine Bucklo of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois entered an order permanently enjoining Carl Q. Lee (Lee) of Weatherford, Texas and Carl Lee and Associates, Inc. (Lee Associates), Lee's business, from violating certain of the antifraud and registration provisions of the federal securities laws. The order, entered with Lee and Lee Associates' consent, permanently enjoins them from violating Sections 5(a), 5(c) and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, Sections 10(b) and 15(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rules 10b-5 and 10b-10 promulgated thereunder, and enjoins Lee from aiding and abetting violations of Rule 10b-10 of the Exchange Act.
The SEC's complaint in this matter charges that Michael E. Kelly and 25 other defendants, including Lee and Lee Associates, participated in a massive fraud on U.S. investors that involved the offer and sale of securities in the form of Universal Lease investments. Universal Leases were structured as timeshares in several hotels in Cancun, Mexico, coupled with a pre-arranged rental agreement that promised investors a high, fixed rate of return. The SEC's complaint alleges that from 1999 until 2005, Kelly and others, including Lee and Lee Associates, raised at least $428 million through the Universal Lease scheme from investors throughout the United States, with more than $136 million of the funds invested coming from IRA accounts. The SEC further alleges that a nationwide network of unregistered salespeople who sold the Universal Leases, including Lee and Lee Associates, collected undisclosed commissions totaling more than $72 million. The SEC also alleges that Kelly and others ran the scheme from Cancun, Mexico, through a number of foreign entities in Mexico and Panama. According to the SEC's complaint, Kelly and others told investors that Universal Leases would generate guaranteed income through the leasing of investor timeshares by a large, independent leasing agent. In fact, the complaint alleges the leasing agent was a small Panamanian travel agency controlled by Kelly and for most of the scheme its payments to investors came from accounts funded by money raised from new investors. Further, the complaint alleges that Kelly and others, including Lee and Lee Associates, failed to disclose key facts about the Universal Lease investments, including the risks of the investments and that more than $72 million in investor funds were used to pay commissions as high as 27% to the selling brokers. The SEC continues to pursue its claims against Lee and Lee Associates for disgorgement and civil penalties. The SEC's action against the remaining defendants is also pending.
For additional information, see Litigation Release Nos. 20267 (Sept. 5, 2007), 20573 (May 14, 2008), 20578 (May 15, 2008), 20579 (May 15, 2008), 20664 (July 31, 2008) and 20679 (August 12, 2008) [SEC v. Michael E. Kelly, et al., Civil Action No. 07-CV-4979 (N.D. Ill.)]

From the Editor: Corporate Unsustainability
Corporate Unsustainability
To many people outside the business world, sustainability is just corporate-speak for environmental concerns. Inside, its meaning keeps expanding to encompass every point at which an organization interacts with the rest of the world—supply chains, product life cycles, risk. Indeed, for many companies, after years of work reducing emissions and waste, it's easy being green—it's everything else that's a problem.
My Q&A this issue with "corporate idealist" Christine Bader describes the scope of work that committed people take on to make their employers do good while doing well. It's a lot more than reducing electricity bills and paper waste.
But it's nowhere near enough.
The flip side of multinational corporations taking an ever-larger share of societal power and authority from government is increased expectations and responsibility for keeping the world running smoothly. That means more than not leaking thousands of gallons of chemical waste into a town's water supply or not helping lay waste to acres of forest in producing palm oil. It means—it should mean—working toward keeping society as a whole healthy and stable. CEOs and boards need to think beyond the borders of their companies to what they can do to strengthen the entire environment in which they do business.
The issue of economic inequality, for instance, gets plenty of attention—but not as something relevant to corporate sustainability. And it should be on everyone's radar screen.
There's a general consensus that rising inequality poses a very real threat not only to societal stability but to economic growth, that a weak middle class is, to put it bluntly, bad for business. But business's role in creating that inequality—shifting money from workers to executives—is often overlooked.
In his new bestseller Capital in the Twenty-First Century, French economist Thomas Piketty looks closely at how, in the last half-century, the richest one-thousandth of American households have more than doubled their share of the country's wealth, from around 10 percent to more than a fifth. And who are the people at the top of the pyramid? Piketty estimates that 60 to 70 percent of the top 0.1 percent of earners are "supermanagers"—"that is, top executives of large firms who have managed to obtain extremely high, historically unprecedented compensation packages for their labor." As The New Yorker's John Cassidy summarizes, the main driver of income inequality "is that major companies are giving their top executives outlandish pay packages . . . Rising income inequality is largely a corporate phenomenon."
And it's more than just annual bonus checks: Slate's Jordan Weissmann points out that "an exceptionally tiny circle of Americans is not only commanding a greater and greater share of pay, but . . . they are successfully consolidating their fortunes far faster than 99.9 percent of the country. At the risk of sounding a little melodramatic, this is how an aristocracy gets built."
Aristocracies don't make for healthy markets for anything except luxury goods and cheap basic services, with not much in the middle—where most companies are.

text: The 1985 tax levy for Villa Park will be about $3.4 million, at least $100,000 less than this year`s levy, Village Manager Kevin O`Donnell said Tuesday. The levy rate will drop despite an increase of 3 cents per $100 assessed valuation for the library. The levy produces funds that are used with grants, fees and other revenue to fund village operations. Several village board members have said the levy should be reduced further, but others have warned that Villa Park is to undertake massive tree planting and street repair programs in the next two years and should not cut too deeply.

Lewis Holtby is convinced new boss Felix Magath will keep Fulham in the Premier League this season.
The 60-year-old was brought in last Friday after Rene Meulensteen's time in charge was brought to an abrupt end.
Alan Curbishley and Ray Wilkins were also sacked earlier this week as the situation at Craven Cottage becomes increasingly unpredictable.
Magath's appointment has been criticised in some quarters, with Bayern Munich chief Uli Hoeness referring to him as a "control freak" , who will push his players to a ridiculous stage.
But Holtby - who worked with the new boss at Schalke - claims he has given the players the boost they needed and backed him to stave off relegation.
The on-loan midfielder told the Cottagers' official website: "I know him well. He's won titles in Germany and done some great stuff in the Bundesliga.
"He's a very hard-working guy who wants 100 per cent from his sides.
"We're going to get the full German experience from him and I definitely think he'll help us achieve our goal of staying up in the Barclays Premier League."
Next up for Fulham is a trip to fellow strugglers West Brom on Saturday. And with the Cottagers' four points from safety, Holtby is refusing to play down the significance of the encounter.
The 23-year-old added: "It's a massive game.
"In Germany we call it a six-point game and I think you have a similar saying over here. We need to win this fixture."

School Council
School council usually meet every half term to discuss issues which interest the whole school community.
Every year each class appoint a representative to the school council.
Representatives are supported to give their opinion on matters such as School Aims, School rules, development of certain areas of the school, celebrations, etc. They are then supported to pass the information to the rest of their class and gather thoughts and opinions to bring to future meetings.

Adoption and orphan care and foster care are not a covert means of evangelism any more than Christians having babies is a form of reproductive evangelism. It's simply Christians love children, and part of what it means to love children is to share the gospel.
Russell Moore, dean of the School of Theology at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, recently talked with Religion News Service about why adoption has become his personal cause and why more evangelicals should be joining him. On the eve of the 40th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion, Moore said adoption fits evangelicals' anti-abortion values, even as he maintains adoption isn't right for every family.
The interview has been edited for length and clarity.
Q: You have written on a range of pop culture, political and social issues, so why have you made adoption — and specifically Christian adoption — your big cause?
A: My wife and I went through several years of infertility and miscarriages and found ourselves going through the process of adoption and we felt very much alone. So I started to write about the issue of adoption really to address people who are in the same situation that we were, which is not understanding and seeing the meaning of that rich metaphor of adoption in Scripture, not understanding how adoption makes a real family.
Q: What do you see as the biblical metaphor of adoption?
A: Scripture says that Christians have been adopted into the family of God, and so regardless of background, regardless of past, everyone who is in Christ is part of the family.
Q: With gay marriage legislation moving ahead and not as many victories as they would like on abortion, is this a cause where evangelicals could see more success?
A: I don't really see success in terms of legislative or cultural victory. I see it more in calling evangelical Christians back to a commitment that we've always had to shelter the vulnerable.
Q: Are you suggesting that evangelical churches specifically or churches in general be more involved?
A: At the level of the common good, this is something that all people should be concerned about. But it's consistent for evangelical Christians to be pro-orphan.
Q: Adoption has been a growing issue for evangelical churches in the last decade. How are they doing, and how much further do they have to go to meet your goals?

Disconnect (Divided Worlds Trilogy #1) by Imran Siddiq
"In space, love has boundaries." Dirtying fingernails in sewers is fast approaching worthlessness for Zachary, a 16-year old Underworld scavenger. When footage of an Overworld girl, Rosa, is discovered, his intrigue heightens at why she expresses sadness with a lavish lifestyle. In meeting Rosa, Zachary is scorned by her opinion of the deprived. She pities him and provides a means for them to communicate. With time, friendship and something he's never felt grows; love for another human. Knowing Rosa calls him when it suits her isn't enough; he wants to meet her, but how? Relationships in Underworld are few, let alone the impossibility with those above the ceiling. Underworld will suffer when plans to conquer Jupiter's moon, Europa move ahead. Worse is Rosa's father, a disgraced Overworld ambassador, approving the plan. Zachary must defeat the prejudice of the worlds, sneak within opposing forces, lose friends and challenge Rosa's sadness. In doing so, a twisted secret is uncovered that may devour the reason he lives; Rosa.
"Even in space, Love has boundaries" I actually like the tagline on the cover and i think the cover in it's grey-blue tones is perfect for the sci-fi novel =D The cover art is really great & I like that it goes from dark gray @ the bottom to lighter shades of gray towards the top ^_^ The Story behind the cover sounds pretty dang AWESOME! And it makes me want to know MORE! Also you HAVE TO CHECK out this great Teaser Trailer for Disconnect:
My thought's and TEASER TRAILER:
About the author:
Imran Siddiq may have tried to leave Leicester a few times, but its become his place to wake up to two cats, freeze when the heating's off and most of all, get down to writing. At a young age, his primary school teacher commented on his creativity and ability to tell stories. At the age of 29, during a night in the jungle, the bug inside awakened, and for the last 5 years he's been sacrificing every second that he can to write. A veteran of writing festivals, a presence on Twitter and gobbling up all forms of Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, he hopes he can bring a smile to others in the same way that he had, aged 5, reading with a torch under his duvet. Imran's preferred genre is YA Sci Fi, and he has a tendency to throw a droid in every novel.

Watch this amazing feat of Jonathan Tuhu as he obliterated his very much taller opponent in a fight that seemed to be one-sided in the eyes of the many.
[contentblock id=1 img=adsense.png]
Everything about this knockout is perfect…a much shorter fighter knocking out his "giant" opponent, it's the kick itself and the way the knocked out fighter went down to the floor.
We don't know the name of the second fighter at the moment but what we do know is that Jonathan Tuhu landed a stunning kick in that fight that took place in Newcastle, Australia earlier this year.[contentblock id=5 img=adsense.png]
The video starts with both fighters throwing low kicks. Jonathan Tuhu is stalking his much taller opponent, the tall man gets off the ropes with a flying knee attempt, that doesn't fully connect. He moves away and Jonathan Tuhu follows him. Tuhu throws a left kick that misses BUT he spins and lands an amazing tornado kick, catching his opponent clean on the top of the head. Tuhu is the first to go to the floor from his own kick but he's up to his feet before his opponent goes down. The tall man is out cold but the ropes keep him up for around 2-3 seconds before he falls down face first.

Are mathematicians deliberately obscure? Or is it really so hard for them to write prose?
Check out this description of σ-algebras from Wik***dia.
In mathematics, a σ-algebra (also sigma-algebra, σ-field, sigma-field) is a technical concept for a collection of sets satisfying certain properties.[1] The main use of σ-algebras is in the definition of measures; specifically, a σ-algebra is the collection of sets over which a measure is defined.
No sh_t? It's technical? And it satisfies properties. You don't say.
The kernel of that paragraph is just one sentence.
In mathematics, a σ-algebra is a measurable collection of sets.
I changed the W*****dia page at 8:40pm on 3 Mar '11. Let's see if I get in trouble. (I bet if I do it will be for "not being rigorous" or "original research".)
Yes this is a specialist topic, but that doesn't require gobbledegook. A σ-algebra is measurable like ℝ, but is not ℝ. Why can't we just use normal words?
UPDATE: It hurts to be this right. My changes were reverted about an hour after I put them up. Am I wrong here?
I'm reminded of a story Doug Hofstadter told us about a friend of his who submitted an article in clear, everyday language to an academic journal. According to DH, the journal's editors rejected the piece, saying it was too unprofessional. They confused jargon with sophistication, bombast with wisdom.
I don't know the friend's name or the journal's name, and I half-wonder if I am just being a pr$ck about this Wikipedia article. But no, think about how people react to the word "maths". This has got to be the reason—this and boring maths classes. Mathematicians literally refuse to write simply.
UPDATE 2: Another offender is the article on compact topological spaces. I'm actually removing some text from the garbled lede when I say:
In mathematics, specifically general topology, a compact topology is a topological space whose topology has the compactness property.
I think I've found a new candidate for worst sentences in the English language. Does anyone have George Orwell's e-mail address?
