Coroner's figures show heatwave a major disaster
Early figures indicate last week's heatwave may have been responsible for hundreds of deaths. The Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine says it recorded double the usual amount of deaths last week.
TIM PALMER: Early figures on the impact of last week's heatwave in south-eastern Australia suggest it was responsible for hundreds of deaths.
The Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine says it recorded more than 200 deaths during the heatwave, which is more than double the usual amount. It expects the final death toll will equal that of 2009's heatwave, which is thought to have killed more than 370 people in Victoria alone.
The director of the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine, Stephen Cordner, spoke to Simon Lauder.
STEPHEN CORDNER: It's very easy for the community to understand when a bus goes over a cliff with 30 or 40 occupants that there has been a major disaster. It's much harder for the community to understand the invisibility of deaths in a large number of homes over a wide area over a period of several days, and of people who are elderly, isolated and often have other illness. That's a much more diffuse and a much harder to understand the disaster.
SIMON LAUDER: So, was last week's heatwave itself a disaster?
STEPHEN CORDNER: Well, I think that's the ordinary English word for the excess deaths that happened as a result of a heatwave. And a lot of the deaths are preventable.
SIMON LAUDER: So, how many deaths were there in Victoria last week and how much over the usual amount was that?
STEPHEN CORDNER: I don't think anybody would quite know that yet. What I do know is that whereas we would normally have about 100 deaths reported to the coroner and come to the Victorian Institute of Medicine in any one week, last week we had 200. And we know that the bulk of that excess was a consequence of the heatwave.
SIMON LAUDER: So, you'd imagine that, yes, as you say, most of that would be attributable to the heat.
STEPHEN CORDNER: Not necessarily directly. Some would have been deaths from heatstroke. The largest number would be those people who are elderly, have pre-existing illness such as coronary artery disease or lung conditions, and also those with psychiatric illness, and those people who are isolated and don't have others to look out for them and help. They're the people who are vulnerable and they represent the largest number.
SIMON LAUDER: What is your best guess at how the end result of this disaster compares to the 2009 heatwave in Victoria?
STEPHEN CORDNER: Look, I think it's of the same order of magnitude. The final numbers will await the evaluation of all the deaths reported, not just those that are reported, have been reported to the coroner.
TIM PALMER: The director of the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine, professor Stephen Cordner.

Three questions with ... Philip Ciesielski, the city's assistant director of utilities
Back to normal.
That's what downtown merchants were celebrating Friday as construction crews replacing a century-old waterline wrapped up work nearly two months ahead of schedule.
"It is going to be business as usual again," said Joe Flannery, president of Weaver's Department Store, as crews were preparing to open Massachusetts Street back up to two-way traffic between Ninth and 11th streets. The barricades limiting parking to one side of the street also were removed Friday.
The street had been limited to one-way traffic and restricted parking since late May.
"This is a great gift to everybody downtown," Flannery said.
The project was supposed to last until early September. Businesses were bracing for that because it had taken multiple months the previous two summers for crews to replace waterlines in the 600 through 900 blocks of Massachusetts Street.
But those previous two summer's worth of work paid dividends this year, said Philip Ciesielski, the city's assistant director of utilities. That's because the construction crew - Nowak Construction of Goddard - had done the previous two year's worth of work.
"They had a really good idea of what to expect and what type of hurdles come up with a project like this," Ciesielski said. "They were really efficient based on their past experience."
They also weren't afraid to get wet. Kenneth Etter, the project supervisor for Nowak, said his crews routinely worked in the rain and put in long days.
"It would depend on how hot it got and how tired the guys got, but we always worked 50-plus-hour weeks," Etter said.
Nowak has more workers on the job than in past years. Dave Osborne, the city inspector on the project, said the manpower was a major factor.
"They knew what to expect from the past two years, but the big thing is that they're a hard-working crew that wouldn't slow down," Osborne said.
Downtown merchants generally agreed. Most said the crews were nice guys, but at the same time, they were glad to see them go.
"I'll definitely be happy to have the parking back," said Willie Wilkerson, manager of Jayhawk Spirit. "Everything in downtown is about parking."
Several businesses said sales did suffer during the construction, but not by as much as they had feared. Flannery said sales at Weaver's, one of the larger retailers downtown, were off by less than 10 percent.
Nowak will receive a bonus for getting the work done early. The company will receive a $1,000-per-day incentive for every working day the project is completed ahead of schedule. Ciesielski said that payment probably will end up being in the $20,000 to $30,000 range. The bonus will be calculated after all the small details on the project are completed, which is expected to be by the end of next week. The entire project - from Ninth to 11th streets - had a price tag of $1.92 million.
City Commissioner Mike Amyx, who owns a downtown barber shop, said he thought the bonus money paid to Nowak was a good investment on the city's part. He said the city would start recouping some of the money immediately through increased sales tax collections. The city's annual downtown sidewalk sale is Thursday, and this will be the first time since 2004 that it hasn't been conducted in the middle of a construction zone.
"Now there's no excuse for people not to come down to the sale," Amyx said.

Day 271
Went to the Savoy Grill for someone's birthday lunch today. The food was very good (although it did fail the Cheeseburger Test*), but the service was pretty glacialleaving at 6pm from a 1.30pm lunch booking is distinctly leisurely. However, the most memorable image of the day was the pair of fully-frocked up priests slipping out of the Savoy Grill to light up their cigarettes outside (it's nice to see men of the cloth being considerate enough not to smoke around the diners). I was very tempted to take their picture, but that would have been rude. I wonder what denomination they were.
I wasn't entirely sure of the dress code for this place, so I thought I'd play it safe and wear my Extraordinarily Expensive Suit†. During the course of the afternoon, I discovered a disturbing fact about said Extraordinarily Expensive Suit, which is that it doesn't fit me anymore.
I had actually expected this to happen at some point, so I'd carefully made sure that the trousers were a little too large to allow for the inevitability of an expanding girth over the years. However, this wasn't the problem; it turns out that even though it doesn't subjectively feel like the gym visits have had much effect, the more objective measure of my suit jacket tells a different story. I found it difficult to get my arms into the jacket, and I could tell that if I wanted to, I could split the seams just by flexing my manly shoulder muscles. Bugger.
Still, now that my Copious Free Time seems to have evaporated, I'm not really going to the gym any more and so it probably won't take long before it fits again.
* Common failing of expensive restaurants: could you happily eat a cheeseburger just after finishing dinner at said restaurant?
† I bought the suit a couple of years ago, when I decided to change jobs and needed one for interviews. I foolishly went to an expensive shop, and then found that the three suits I liked most in the place were all the same pricethe most expensive in the shop. As it turned out, I only interviewed for one job, and so I've only worn the thing a half-dozen times since I bought itso each wear has cost mumble. Still, I got the job and it was well paid, so that's alright. (Except, of course, that I hated the job).

Book of Unwritten Tales - making the potion - 07/21/13 02:17 PM
Yes, the potion keeps exploding. After trying many times, I've learn to get the hang of everything until adding the last worms before the mint. This is where you are stirring 4x one direction, then two the other, then 3x back the other way again. No matter how carefully I try to do this part, it always explodes at the third stirring. I guess it is down to seconds there or very precise stirring? I checked the WT and it offers no clue as to what the picky part is at that one sequence. I'm so close to finishing the potion! Can anyone help?

Swindon Town 1 Walsall 0
County Ground
31 January 2006 7:45pm
Attendance: 4,597
A Superb strike by striker Jamie Cureton, ensure's Swindon Town take all 3 points and more importantly move up the table to 22nd, 2 points from safety.
Swindon Town have done something they have not done this season, Win 2 successive home games at the County Ground.
As the fans froze in the stands, Walsall started the game as if they wanted it more than The Robins, by challenging Town keeper Rhys Evans several times in the opening 15 minutes of the match. Jamie Cureton missed a un-missable header but eventually made up for it with a superb 43rd minute strike from outside the area to put Town up 1-0 going into the break. Cureton's goal perhaps was sweet revenge for a obvious foul that Referee Deadman refused to give in Swindon's favour. Sean O'Hanlon became the first booking of the match before half time by getting booked in the 47th minute.
Swindon came back from the half time break lively and went straight back on the attack, however Walsall very nearly scored at the beginning of the 2nd half by Saddlers Kevin James hitting the cross bar. At the 51st minute Stefani Miglioranzi was substituted for Charlie Comyn-Platt who has had a great run as of late with the first team. On the 56th minute Jamie Cureton almost put Town 2 up, however failed to convert the chance. Walsall looking to shuffle the deck substituted Mark Wright for former Swindon target James Constable who was greeted by a corus of boo's from Swindon fans. On the 68th minute Andy Gurney was substitued for Paul Smith, a straight change for 2 similar players with similar hard tackling styles. Constable almost made Swindon's worst nightmare's come true when he shuffled past Swindon's defenders at the 70 minute mark. With Walsall Pressing, Manager Iffy Onoura decided to substitute Lee Peacock, with recent loan signing, Trevor Benjamin.
When Benjamin came on Swindon seemed to sit back and allow Walsall to attack to their heart's content. Benjamin did little to inject any life into Swindon as he chased the defenders half the time or just stood their the other.
Walsall were very unlucky not to score. For about 10 minute's Swindon played some dire hoofball much to the disgust of the County Ground faithful who began to get on the team's backs. Finally Ricky Shakes ended the rot and got town attacking again winning some superb corners, and almost scoring himself.
Things got nasty towards the end of the match as Town played the ball in the corner and Saddlers' Anthony Gerrard got booked on the 90th minute for some rough play, which appeared to boil down to his frustration at Town's time wasting.
Finally after 2 minutes of added time, Swindon Town had won their second consecutive home game.
Former Swindon Town midfielder Grant Smith started the game and barely did anything except be in the middle of the heated play towards the end. Both games Smith has played at the County Ground this season, Swindon have won. Smtih played on 11 Nov 2005 for Bristol City before being relegated to the bench and eventually shipped out on loan by the Saddlers.

I just got back from Hawaii, where I spent time with one of the stars of the film (also its associate producer), Isis Aquarian, and with other members of the legendary sex-drugs-and-rock-n-roll cult. I'll share more from my time with them, soon, but for now: I've seen the film, and it's really fantastic. You gotta see it. Mark your calendars, freaks.
The film is based on the book "The Source: The Untold Story of Father Yod, Ya Ho Wa 13, and The Source Family," the story of an intentional flower child community that became a radical experiment in '70's utopian living.
The LA premiere will be on Thursday, May 9th at the West Hollywood Standard Hotel, right across the street from the site of the original Source restaurant, the vegetarian eatery run by the cult and once frequented by celebs of the day.
"Cinespia and Cinefamily are producing the event," director Jodi Wille tells Boing Boing, "And we'll screen the film under the stars on the deck, serving original Source Family recipes with live Source Family music afterwards."
It's gonna be awesome. Below, the complete list of premiere dates in 20 cities around the US. Also, trailer's up on YouTube now, and vimeo.

text: Eighth grade students from Harnett Central Middle School participated in the first annual career fair on Thursday, October 15, 1998. The faculty at Campbell University Pharmacy School had organized an extremely informative yet fun day. Activities for the day included an opening motivational speaker, guided tours around Campbell University, demonstrations from several of the science departments at Campbell, and the exhibit hall where students got to speak with individuals from various scientific companies. Students as well as teachers felt that the day spent at Campbell will be beneficial in helping students make decisions about class selections in high school as well as career decisions for the future. This was the first that many of the eighth grade teachers had participated in a field trip. During the day and after returning to school, all 13 teachers agreed that this experience was worthwhile and are looking into other science-oriented field trips for the Spring semester.

A new discovery has taken the bite out of spiders' status as meat-eaters.
A tropical jumping spider that eats mostly plant buds has been identified, a new study says—making it the only known vegetarian out of some 40,000 spider species.
In the late 1800s, naturalists named the spider Bagheera kiplingi after a panther in British author Rudyard Kipling's 1894 children's book The Jungle Book.
"At that time in history, all the [naturalists] had was a tattered dead specimen," said study leader Christopher Meehan, a biologist at the University of Arizona in Tucson.
"They had no idea what it ate. But perhaps they knew that jumping spiders were cat-like in their movements, and [they] decided to name the spider after the agile panther Bagheera in Kipling's book."
"Utterly Surreal" Spider
Between 2001 and 2008, Meehan and colleagues studied the spider in its tropical habitat in southeastern Mexico and northwestern Costa Rica. (Get spider facts.)
They observed that the spiders ate nutrient-rich buds that grow on acacia plants.
The acacias are also home to a species of ant that live in the plants' hollow thorns. In a classic example of mutualism, the ants protect the plant in return for shelter and food, said Meehan, who conducted the research while at Villanova University in Villanova, Pennsylvania.
Yet the fast, stealthy Bagheera has figured out how to leap from thorn to thorn to collect its meal—while avoiding the highly aggressive ants.
Though the spider does occasionally snack on ant larvae, the bulk of its diet is plants, Meehan said.
"It is utterly surreal," he said, "to see a spider use such effective hunting strategies to hunt a plant."
Study published October 12 in the journal Current Biology.

Timothy Spall is the son of a postal worker and a hairdresser. Raised in London, he auditioned and earned a spot with the National Youth Theatre and later showed great promise at RADA where he portrayed the title roles in "Macbeth" and "Othello." In 1979 he joined the Royal Shakespeare Company and stayed for approximately two years performing in "The Merry Wives of Windsor," "Cymbeline," "The Three Sisters" and "Nicholas Nickleby." In the early 80s he moved into TV roles with Leigh's "Home Sweet Home" and later had his own drama series "Frank Stubbs Promotes" in 1993. With Leigh, Timothy's appeared in a number of award-winning features, particularly Life Is Sweet (1990) and Secrets & Lies (1996), for which he earned a BAFTA Award nomination, and the Gilbert & Sullivan biopic Topsy-Turvy (1999). He also worked for noted directors Ken Russell in Gothic (1986), Clint Eastwood in White Hunter Black Heart (1990), Bernardo Bertolucci in The Sheltering Sky (1990), and Kenneth Branagh in Hamlet (1996) as Rosenkrantz. A chronic illness curtailed his momentum in the mid-90s, coming back resourcefully on stage and TV. On a roll recently with more of his odd characterizations he lent his voice to the popular animated feature Chicken Run (2000) and appeared in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) as Peter Pettigrew, and Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004) as Mr. Poe.

Online Video Booms as Advertisers Follow their Audience
Slowly but surely, online video is becoming a popular media among top advertisers to reach their desired clients and audiences. According to eMarketer, $68.50 billion is expected to go to TV in terms of advertising budget this year, with only a $5.80 billion budget going to online video. But the video advertisement industry is growing fast, faster than anyone imagined it would do. And it has been accepted well by publishers too. You can see publishers like CNN and BBC putting high importance on their video contents, featuring top videos right on the homepage. Video is now proven to monetize efficiently, and often attract premium ad rates when compared to other online advertising channels. A site like Wall Street Journal Online features their top videos in one of the central spots on the homepage and streams live analysis twice a day. Video is certainly growing in popularity, and importance.
Some attribute the rapid growth in the online video industry to smartphones and tablets. Indeed, handheld devices have changed the way people interact online. In its recent report, "5 online video advertising insights for 2014″, Kitara Media identifies mobile engagement as one of the key drivers of video success. Consumers are engaging on multiple devices and screens, and video seamlessly fits all devices and platforms. It is thriving as a medium, and advertisers are successfully using video to promote tailored, branded content towards their audiences. Marketers have embraced the idea, and are enjoying the scalability and flexibility offered by online media platforms.
Although most of the major video ad platforms were only accessible to large corporations because of the restriction on minimum budget requirements, things are changing rapidly, with companies like Virool.com introducing self-serve platforms. Nowadays, you don't really need a five figure purse to get a campaign started. And you can always count on your video to become viral, provided your video contains all the right elements and surprise. The simplicity, and the ability to reach out to small-budget customers is what makes a video ad platform like Virool one of the fastest growing startups in Silicon Valley. Just last year, this Y Combinator startup raised $6.82 million in seed funding. By now, they have a client base of around 50,000 customers, many of whom are ordinary people like me and you.
Tech Research firm Gartner predicts the overall mobile advertising industry to grow to $42 billion by 2017, with video showing the highest growth. Use of both smartphone and tablet keeps on growing, and video works particularly well on these two. Online video has for long been an untapped market, but top marketers report that they are already loving the experience. They say online video offers unique targeting, scaling and reporting opportunities. And you don't have to take their words for it, stay-at-home mom promoting "How to make Christmas cookies" will give you a similar feedback too.

In a small art gallery in Chelsea, a controversy has erupted surrounding a photography project featuring children that has been labelled 'pornographic'.
Passers by The Little Black Gallery in the affluent party of London have taken offence at The Birthday Party, a series of snaps taken by Vee Speers that features her daughter and some of her friends topless.
A resident called Ann Nathan told the Evening Standard: "The exhibition is distasteful, considering there are two schools and a church on the street. I don't look up at the window when I walk past any more."
An unidentified neighbour also told the paper: "The stuff they call art is semi-pornographic."
Speers issued a swift rebuttal: "For the past 5 years my series The Birthday Party, a playful and sensitive celebration of childhood, has been exhibited and published successfully around the world, from Europe, Russia, Scandinavia, China and South East Asia, to the United States and South America.

"Never has anyone suggested my images inappropriate or pornographic nor have I received any negative press."
Ghislain Pascal, co-owner of The Little Black Gallery, also denied the claim, saying "These photographs are beautiful images celebrating the innocence of children. There is nothing remotely pornographic about them."
It's not the first time residents of one of London's wealthier areas have taken exception to artwork appearing on their streets. In April the Scream gallery in Mayfair was told by police to remove an image of a woman having sex with a swan.

Though this novel opens just after his pathetic, drunken death, the eponymous Billy is the center of McDermott's tale of love and redemption among a complex group of Irish American Catholics in modern New York. Billy Lynch, a likable and popular romantic doomed by alcohol and a hopeless grand passion, is mourned intensely by no fewer than 47 close friends and relatives who gather together after his funeral. Their bittersweet recollections and revelations about him and his long-gone "Irish girl" are rendered in a series of vividly drawn episodes, as seen through the clear eyes and unsentimental imagination of one of the younger relations, herself deeply affected by the vicissitudes of Billy's life. McDermott (At Weddings and Wakes, LJ 4/1/92) has created here an accessible narrative distinguished by strong characterizations and a marked sense of place; the book should appeal to a variety of readers.

The death of charming Billy Lynch from alcoholism is the starting point from which McDermott (At Weddings and Wakes) meticulously develops this poignant and ironic story of a blighted life set in the Irish-American communities of Queens, the Bronx and the Hamptons. With dialogue so precise that a word or two conjures a complex relationship, she examines the curse of alcoholism and the cost it takes on family and friends. Did Billy drink because of a broken heart caused by the death of Eva, the young woman he ardently loved who had gone back to Ireland after their brief summer together? If so, his cousin Dennis has much on his conscience, since he knew that Eva used the money Billy sent her for return passage to put a down payment on a gas station for the man she decided to marry. Dennis spared Billy the humiliation of public jilting by inventing the story of Eva's demise. Or is alcoholism "the genetic disease of the Irish," a refuge for souls who can sustain their religious faith in an afterlife only if earthly existence is pursued through a bleary haze? Was plain, courageous Maeve, the woman Billy eventually married, devastated by his drinking, or was her uncomplaining devotion yet another aspect of an ancient pattern in Irish families? McDermott sensitively probes the ties of a people bound by blood, long acquaintance, shared memories, the church and the tolerance of liquor in its men. If Billy drank to sustain his belief in heaven, to find redemption for his unfulfilled life on earth, is the church's teaching about death "a well intentioned deception"? McDermott's compassionate candor about the demands of faith and the realities of living brings an emotional resonance to her seamlessly told, exquisitely nuanced tale. (Jan.)

When Billy, the glue of a tight Irish community in New York, dies as a result of lifelong alcohol abuse, mourners gather around roast beef and green bean amandine to tell tales and ruminate on his struggle for happiness after he lost his first love, Eva. With carefully drawn character studies and gentle probing, McDermott, who won the National Book Award for this work, masterfully weaves a subtle but tenacious web of relationships to explore the devastation of alcoholism, the loss of innocence, the daily practice of love, and the redeeming unity of family and friendship.

If you have never looked at TED.com, consider this blog a totally biased, you gotta go to the site, endorsement of an idea about ideas.
TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) started as a symposium to bring together thinkers from those three fields. The thinking led to a conference, which led to a website and more conferences and, now, a very comprehensive website of smart, engaged people presenting often surprising points of view and information in passionate and, sometimes, beautiful ways.
In some ways, an early TED presenter (March 2006), Hans Rosling, pulled me into this world of 18 minute nuggets of intellectual gold (Rosling has presented a number of times, but this 2006 lecture still amazes me http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/92).
In the midst of climate change and civil wars and cultural wars and oil wars, we feel and think that we are at the edge of a precipice. Its not new. We have always been at the edge of a precipice. Its just always changing its character, height and threat.
TED reminds me of intellectual perspective. Of drama, of art, of culture. It reminds me of the power of storytelling.
As one TED presenter, Isabelle Allende, beautifully said, Question: what is truer than truth? Answer: the story.

US chip manufacturer Cypress has said that it will continue to invest in a 200-mm fab in Minnesota while "exploring options" for an older 150-mm fab in Texas. The Electronic Times claimed that Cypress was considering selling all its US Fabs and outsourcing its advanced SRAM chip production to United Microelectronics of Taiwan.
However Cypress has issued a clarification saying that it had no plans to sell its Minnesota fab which it says was state of the art. However it was reviewing its use of the Texas plant.
A spokesman said that the Minnesota fab was an important strategic asset and a large part of our future." We have no plans to sell it." You can read more here.

|[en] Writing in the Key of Life is the first critical collection devoted to the British-Caribbean author Caryl Phillips, a major voice in contemporary anglophone literatures. Phillips's impressive body of fiction, drama, and non-fiction has garnered wide praise for its formal inventiveness and its incisive social criticism as well as its unusually sensitive understanding of the human condition.
The twenty-six contributions offered here, including two by Phillips himself, address the fundamental issues that have preoccupied the writer in his now three-decades-long career – the enduring legacy of history, the intricate workings of identity, and the pervasive role of race, class, and gender in societies worldwide.
Most of Phillips's writing is covered here, in essays that approach it from various thematic and interpretative angles. These include the interplay of fact and fiction, Phillips's sometimes ambiguous literary affiliations, his long-standing interest in the black and Jewish diasporas, his exploration of Britain and its 'Others', and his recurrent use of motifs such as masking and concealment.
Writing in the Key of Life testifies to the vitality of Phillipsian scholarship and confirms the significance of an artist whose concerns, at once universal and topical, find particular resonance with the state of the world at the beginning of the twenty-first century.

Welcome to the first installment of my Blog.
My goal in writing this Blog is to share with you some of my experiences as both a fellow traveler on a spiritual journey, and as a therapist helping others to expand their consciousness and further their personal evolution. Sometimes I will be sharing stories about my own journey and sometimes I will be sharing "stories from the couch". It may come to you in the form of poetry or prose, it may be my writing or it may be borrowed from others.

The action moves along quickly, jumping over holes in the script, in this made-for-television drama about Eve (Carmen Duncan), an ex-terrorist from Germany who is forced to escape to Australia with her teenage daughter Chrissie (Annie Jones) when she is sought by Riley (Michael Aitkens), a lover from 17 years in the past. In turn, the IRA has sent two members after Riley because he shot an IRA soldier and must pay the consequences. The two IRA operatives looking for Riley come across a really nasty biker who wants vengeance on Eve for setting his car on fire -- and the three men finally track her and Chrissie to the wine-growing country of Barossa Valley. The final denouement is about to explode, as Riley also arrives on the scene. With under-par acting and a patchy plot, this film was never released theatrically.

Enteprise Storage Forum posed an interesting question for those on the hunt for full data center automation this week.
With server automation delivering all manner of benefits to those who can afford it -- everything from daily management, provisioning, patching and reconfiguration -- why is interest in storage automation so lackluster?
Although storage automation is still relatively new, firms like Onaro, Opsware and EMC have developed systems that greatly simplify provisioning and other management tasks.
One problem is that most enterprises are a patchwork of heterogeneous storage environments, each with their own management stacks and interconnections to suit their own (the vendor's) purposes. Without a set of standardized interfaces, it's virtually impossible for a single automation regime to emerge.
And that's a shame because one of the biggest drains on data center efficiency is the legions of control systems and techies needed to run them. A single, overarching management system directing servers, storage and networking sure would be a nice turn of events.

I dont understand him HELP!!!Visitor's Question from a 16-20 year old Female
I have known this guy for 3 years and when we first met we got on really well, but it was a party and i got very drunk and got with his mate, at the time though we were just friends and he hadn't told me he liked me. Anyway we about an hour away so never see each other apart from when we're at the same campsite on holiday. WE text each other all the time and at xmas we had an arguement and he said he didnt want to talk to me anymore, so i left it. Next time we spoke was about 2 months later he said sorry for being harsh. THe next time i was at the campsite i saw him with his girlfriend so i didnt bother to speak to him or text. THen last week i text him asking how he was and since then we've been texting loads, hes no longer with his girlfriend he cheated on her!!! but anyway i've told him i really like him and i asked him if there would ever be a me and him and he said you dont know what the future holds??!! but since then he's been texting me dirty and i was very drunk so stupid me replied to them in the same context. THe next night he said how about a round two, so to wind him up i started then stopped, then last night i said i didnt do that sorta thing because he asked again. When i said no he said thats fine. He does ask me questions and seems interested, but im worried that i seem a tart after the other night and that he was just after some fun, i really want a relationship not a bit of text fun, is he worth it and i worry he cheat on me because he did on his ex girlfriend??? help me xxx ps im 17 and hes 19
RomanceClass.com Advice
He shouldn't think you are a tart because you didn't participate in the conversations very long and then said you aren't into that.
On the other hand, you should be worried about him. He cheated on his girlfriend and might do the same to you.
Plus you don't see him often and where is that going to lead? Probably nowhere.
My advice to you is to look nearer home for a boyfriend and let this one slide.
Good luck! George

I'm a veteran backpacker who has not yet been in a hammock, but I like everything I've been reading about hanging. I sleep almost exclusively on my back but switch to my side when my lower back stiffens up, as it inevitabley does when sleeping on the ground. I'm seriously considering investing in a WBBB with underquilt, but first want to test whether I can sleep comfortably in a hammock without making a major investment. I have quality gear for tent camping, including an Exped 9 Downmat sleeping pad (not the wide deluxe model).
REI has a good return policy and sells Hennessy hammocks, so that would be the most practical choice for my initial test. I'm considering two hammocks: the Expedition Asym Classic (bottom entry) and the Expedition Asym Zip (side entry). I'll be camping in cool temps (maybe down to 30) and don't have an underquilt, so I'm wondering whether my Exped Downmat 9 would provide enough under-insulation inside the hammock, and which of the two Hennessy's mentioned above would work better with it or if an Exped 9 is doable in a hammock at all (I usually don't inflate it all the way). I would think the side entry would be better for getting on top of a thick inflatable in a hammock, but I have no experience with this. Top insulation would be my opened-up Western Mountaineering Ultralight 20* bag.
I'm heading to the mountains of North Carolina in a week with a buddy, and he'll carry a lightweight 2-man tent (Lunar Duo) that we can share if the hammock & pad combo don't work.
Any advice?

So we are suppose to be in NY right now visiting family, but my husband fell down the stairs while we were leaving and severely sprained his ankle! So he is hanging out in bed with his leg up and I'm trying food out on him. Part of him being hurt means I make all his favorite foods. Last night was a filet mignon with sauteed mushrooms and grilled asparagus. Tonight it means pizza! Pizza is also one of my favorite foods! Check this Brazzers style sausage pizza. For other tasty things go to Mofos.
My family has been making homemade pizza for generations. I caught this pizza making bug early on and have been trying to perfect my pie for years. This is the recipe for the one I'm stuck on right now. I'm really liking it! So go ahead and give it a try!
Dissolve one packet of yeast with a tall glass of hot tap water in a large bowl. Whisk with a fork. When the yeast has fully dissolved, add about a Tbsp. of olive oil and about a Tbsp. of REAL maple syrup. (the real part is important! no aunt jemima!) Add about a tsp. salt. Keep stirring! Gradually add All Purpose Flour until a nice ball of dough is formed. You can do this two ways. A: You can put all the liquid in a Kitchen Aid and add the flour until a ball forms (saves you a lot of time and sweat!) Or B: You can simply turn the dough out on a floured cutting board or counter top and knead until a pliable ball forms (plus is your arms will get a workout so you can skip the gym today!) Either way, you then place your ball of dough in a large floured bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rest for about 45 minutes.
During that 45 minutes we'll make the tomato sauce. Now this is my "semi homemade" version using a can of san marzano tomatoes instead of real tomatoes. (let me know if you'd like that recipe and I can pass it along) Many girls from Czech Republic and other countries making it the same way. This fake model agent doesn't care about food at all.
Preheat your oven to 500 degrees or as hot as it will go. Make sure if you are using a pizza stone, it's in the oven at this point : )
Dice half a large yellow onion and saute it in some olive oil with salt. Don't stir them too much, just let them do their thing. Then add the can of whole San Marzano tomatoes, juice and all. (San Marzano tomatoes just seem to have a fresher more tomato taste than your regular bland Del Monte or Hunts) (you can find them at whole foods, albertsons, bristol farms or pavilions) Let them stew, covered on a low temperature about 15 minutes. You should be able to break the tomatoes up a little. Add a can of tomato paste : ) loads of garlic, more than a pinch of sugar and oregano. Now if you like your pizza sauce chunky, you are done. If you like a thinner, smoother sauce (which is what I recommend) give it a hit with an immersion blender or a blender stick.
Ok, assembly. I use a pizza stone so I'm going to assemble my pizza right on a pizza peal. You can also make a deep dish or Sicilian style by using a cookie sheet, just grease it well with some olive oil. So, back to the assembly: Take your dough out of the bowl and knead it just for a couple seconds, just to make sure it's not too wet. (if it is, add a little more flour) You then want to form your dough into a round flat pizza shape. Sure, you can toss it in the air like you've seen so many professionals, but unless you are, a professional that is, I recommend you just kinda pull and press the edges until your shape is formed. (If you are going Sicilian style, just press the dough into the pan) Flour your pizza peal and lay your dough on it. Give it a little shimmy to make sure it is loose and you'll be able to slide it off. First apply your tomato sauce. Apply according to how saucy you like your pizza. Ok, so time to build! Be an artist! Be creative! You can put just about anything on a pizza! Tonight I'm making two kinds: Pepperoni for Sim and Mushroom and Onion with fresh ricotta for me. The first topping and the last topping are the most important! First topping should be the fresh basil. Then pile on your meats, veggies etc. Sprinkle on your cheese. It can be shredded mozzarella, or fresh mozzarella. Tonight I'm going with fresh. Also add on some shredded parmesan or romano. The last ingredient goes on right at the end. Shake some dried oregano on top. (It gives awesome depth and flavor!)
Ok, finally done! Stick it in the oven for about 10 minutes. Watch it closely, every oven cooks differently. Basically, you are waiting for the cheese to melt and the crust to be golden.
I hope you enjoy this pizza as much as Sim and I do. Let me know what you think!

Someone get this kid some pancakes or he will punch again!
Three-year-old Connor punched his brother Aiden because of breakfast-related injustice. Connor may be young, but he understands that Might Is Right. Sure, it's slightly unclear exactly how punching his brother will result in getting pancakes, but it got Dad's attention, didn't it?
Dad's knee-jerk reaction is to spit out the old adage "You can't punch people because you want pancakes." But that is simply a pithy statement with no truth behind it. You can punch people because you want pancakes. You just still might not get any pancakes.

Advice for Highway Engineers and Designers
Places and infrastructure – why our streets and public spaces matter
Everyone looks at the ground! The historic environment is not all buildings and monuments; the spaces in between have a visual impact.
Highways and footpaths are often older than surrounding buildings; their line, construction materials and furniture can all be important.
They contribute to our appreciation and enjoyment of a place. Good quality and appropriate design will have a lasting, positive impact on the local area and the people who use it daily.
- Street surfacing is an integral part of the appearance of an area and the way in which it is used. It is important to reinstate groundworks sympathetically.
- Signs and barriers are sometimes required for safety. But they can be kept to a minimum and positioned thoughtfully to avoid clutter and obstruction. Studies have shown that many items of street furniture are unnecessary.
- Bollards and bus shelters, even drains and paving may be of historic significance. Further information on rarity and importance may be required before removing or altering features and structures.
- Digging trenches may remove or expose buried archaeology. Where possible, find out what you might encounter before works start.
Measures such as changing road layouts, traffic calming, pedestrianisation, access and mobility in relation to public realm can all have an impact on the surrounding historic environment.
Simple design principles such as reducing clutter, co-ordinating street furniture where appropriate and reinforcing local character will help to make sure that the street scape complements rather than detracts from the surrounding buildings.
Good design will also ensure that the street is accessible to all while maintaining local character.
Streets for All
Historic England has Streets for All streetscape manuals for each English region. Produced in conjunction with the Department for Transport, these give practical advice on the design, management and conservation of streets, particularly in historic areas. We are currently revising these documents and new versions should be online by January 2018.
Drafts of the consultation documents are available on our closed consultations webpage.
Other guidance and advice
The Department for Transport and Department of Communities and Local Government have produced guidance for those involved in the design, planning and approval of new streets and modification of existing ones. See Manual for Streets.
This manual came out after we issued the Streets for All Manuals, and endorses many of the ideas we put forward.
This was followed by Manual for Streets 2 which gives further advice and case studies on how the philosophies in Manual for Streets can be used beyond new residential streets to encompass both urban and rural situations.
Department for Transport Traffic Advisory Leaflets (TAL) also cover issues relating to the historic environment such as Historic Core Zones, which allow you to reduce signage and street lines within the zones.
See the following four case studies on Historic Core Zones:
- TAL 10/97 Halifax Historic Core Zone
- TAL 2/98 Lincoln Historic Core Zone
- TAL 8/98 The High Street Route Shrewsbury and
- TAL 13/99 Bury St Edmunds Historic Core Zone
PRIAN (Public Realm Information and Advice Network) is an independent body that has useful advice on street design.
Next steps
We provide training for councillors and officers in local authorities and government agencies through our HELM training programme.

Posted on 11/11/2013 7:13:40 PM PST by TexGrill
SINGAPORE: Pharmaceutical giants have invested S$2.4 billion in Singapore, setting up eight biologics manufacturing plants within the last five years.
The biologics sector now employs 1,700 people.
EDB estimates that new jobs in the sector will increase by 60 per cent, or 1,000 jobs, over the next three to four years.
A biological product differs from traditional pharmaceutical drugs which are chemical based.
For example, ovary cells that are cultivated from Chinese hamsters produce antibodies that can be used to treat breast cancer.
Lam Kong-Peng, executive director of A*STARs Bioprocessing Technology Institute, said: "Biologics most closely resemble our own bodies' molecules. So in a way, they have less side effects, they can be tolerated better by our bodies, our own systems. They are synthesised in living cells, as opposed to a chemical process. They are much more complex and frequently, they are targeted towards (combating) certain diseases."
A*STAR's Bioprocessing Technology Institute (BTI) is the key institute in Singapore training researchers in the biologics field.
Over the past seven years, BTI has trained some 180 science and engineering graduates and helped placed them in firms such as pharmaceuticals firms Roche, GSK and Novartis.

The Ides of March
As punishment for disobeying his superiors and bringing a Serbian killer to justice, McCord, an experienced intelligence officer with the NSA, is sent to investigate a mysterious disturbance on the Ugandan border. What he discovers is a camp manned by Russian scientists who once worked for Bio-preparat, the top secret Soviet bio-weapons facility. Using the cover of the civil war, the scientists have been monitoring the experimental use of a strange new weapon being used to destroy the native population. But before McCord can get there, the camp is attacked by terrorists who manage to hijack the weapon. A sole terrorists survives the attack, which reveals the weapon's devastating effect for which there is no known cure. Ironically, it is the surviving terrorist who carries the genetic code for a possible treatment. A man McCord must find before he accomplishes the horror of his deadly mission. In a race against time, McCord is aided by Dr. Kate Atwood, a researcher at the Army's top secret bio-weapon facility at Fort Detrick. McCord and Kate are propelled on an intensive journey that takes them from Africa to Moscow, South America, London, Washington and finally, New York, where they discover the true nature of the weapon itself and the ultimate aim of the terrorist's mission. A holocaust that will destroy millions.

Here's a thought provocative enough to get me to post on a Sunday. RevPAR and occupancy are down so much at hotels that at least one industry mogul says this isn't cyclical:
What the U.S. hotel industry is experiencing today isn't simply the downside of a highly cyclical business, emphasizes Thomas Magnuson, but rather a massive fundamental shift. "It's a reset," declares the CEO and principal of Magnuson Hotels, ranked by Inc. Magazine as the world's largest independent hotel group.So combine occupancy drops with supply increases and you have a whole new paradigm. Now for consumers that may be a good thing, even for the long term from a pricing perspective. You also have the possibility of some shutdowns, a ton of foreclosures and an even larger expansion on mom and pop owners buying properties on the cheap and managing them close to the bone to eke out a profit.
But let's look at this from a more macro perspective: could this thesis be expanded to the sector as a whole? We did not think office buildings were generally overbuilt. But with a jobless recovery it could be a while before demand picks up, and you may indeed see a trend toward minimizing office expenses. Ditto the retail sector. Without jobs, people reduce shopping. And if I am any example, people are buying more and more online. I would argue the industrial sector is less of a potential reset candidate because of fundamentals and different expectations, the numbers of vacant buildings I see notwithstanding.
I'm not prepared to say that the entire real estate market is in a reset mode. I still think we are at the bottom of a cycle, But the hotel theory extrapolated to the entire market is, in my humble opinion, an interesting thought, especially as we see the market look for and hit bottom. Perhaps then we'll know -- with 20/20 hindsight -- whether it was.

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — A judge has sentenced a man to 10 years in prison and five years of supervised release for conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine.
According to officials, the Carroll County Drug Task Force tracked 34-year-old Jorden Barraco's vehicle as he traveled from a motel in Timonium to Wilmington, Del., to get the narcotics.

I'm surprised this isn't frontpage material...
Voices are alright, and idea is flawless. Get it? Flawless?
Art is a above average, but some effects would really set the moment... since it's almost seem like their inside a cave or a dark eerie place of some sort. But that's just me. Unless, you're going for the awesome-ish look from Egoraptor.
Anyways, this could have been on the frontpage, if it wasn't for the votes and less views. :/
Flaw..Fl...Flawless...? Oh hahaha I get it...
The art was ment to be crappy because at the time I was making this for a friend and I didnt want to take 5 months to do it kind of thing. I appreciate that, I dont think its that good but thank you very much for the reviews and comments on my art, it is really appreciated and Im not kidding
very good
great animation voice acting ok cant wait to see what you do in the future
Thanks, yeah everyone thinks the voices could be better and I agree 100%. Thanks, and thanks for the review!
Nice job
The artwork and animation is great, your skills are definately improving. Voices could have been better but practise makes perfect so I hear. Keep up the good work - I look forward to seeing your next submission.
Thank you, yes I agree the voices need to be better, but thank you for the review I appreciate it!
Not good but not bad
Didn't quite get any joke here, but the animation and art was good. Also, voices kinda sucked.
Yeah it was a difficult scene to try and make really funny. I was trying to joke about the flipping thing that scorpion does to sub-zero, the line scorp says in the movie " SUCKERS! " just little things like that. But thanks for the review

Title : Biological Effects in Rodents Exposed to Pulsed Electromagnetic Radiation.
Descriptive Note : Scientific rept.,
Corporate Author : ARMED FORCES RADIOBIOLOGY RESEARCH INST BETHESDA MD
Personal Author(s) : Skidmore,W. D. ; Baum,S. J.
Report Date : JUN 1973
Pagination or Media Count : 23
Abstract : Rodents were exposed to electromagnetic pulse (EMP) radiation to test the hypothesis that rapid changes in electric and magnetic fields would induce injuries in biological systems with high cell turnover rates. It was observed that the reticulocyte count in exposed rats was nearly always greater than in approximately 1 hour daily for biological sampling and animal care during 20 weeks. Biological assays were periodically conducted in exposed and nonexposed animals at appropriate intervals. It was observed that the reticulocyte count in exposed rats was nearly always greater than in nonexposed. However, there were no concomitant differences in peripheral erythrocyte counts between the two groups, nor did radioactive iron incorporation indicate increased cellular production in the irradiated group. Levels or relative counts of circulating leukocytes did not differ between the two groups. Platelet counts in exposed rats occasionally were decreased below those in the nonexposed. Bone marrow cellularity was not different between the two groups. Preliminary analysis of chromosomes showed no detectable increases of defects. Routine chemical analysis of blood demonstrated similar values in the two groups. Observations of fetuses from pregnant rats showed no abnormalities. The present experiment utilizing the above-described physical parameters represented a condition exceeding by several orders of magnitude that normally encountered by humans who operate EMP facilities. Exposures of rodents under these conditions indicated no apparent acute injuries. A tentative prediction can be made that humans exposed to EMP in industrial situations would show no acute biological injuries. (Modified author abstract)

OKOLONA – It wasn't the best game of the season for the Bullitt Central Cougars but it did give them an opportunity to do something for the first time in over a decade – advance to the regional baseball tournament.
OKOLONA – In his last outing against the Southern Trojans, sophomore Jacob Kelly threw a no-hitter in five innings.
OKOLONA – The Bullitt Central Lady Cougars didn't let any over confidence mire the start of the post-season as the maroon and gray opened the 23rd District Softball Tournament on Monday with a 7-0 victory over Moore.
MOUNT WASHINGTON – What could have been one of those 'trap' games that all coaches fear, turned out to be nothing of the sort on Monday as the Bullitt East Chargers opened play in the 24th District Baseball Tournament with a 9-0 win over Whitefield Academy.
OKOLONA – North Bullitt's season of re-emergence came to an end on Monday as the Lady Eagles dropped a frustrating 2-1 decision to Southern in the semi-finals of the 23rd District Softball Tournament on the Lady Trojans' home field.
MOUNT WASHINGTON -- The Bullitt East lady Chargers capped the most successful regular season in the program's history last week with two more wins.
SHEPHERDSVILLE – With track and tennis finished for the season, focus this week will switch to the diamonds as both baseball and softball open post-season play with district action starting on Monday.
In fact, five of the six Bullitt County squads playing this week will be in action on Monday. The lone holdout is the Bullitt East softball squad as they will not play until Tuesday.
LEXINGTON – Playing in the Kentucky State Tennis Championships for the second straight year, the Bullitt East doubles team of senior Reese Milburn and junior Hunter Norris won a match before falling to the fourth-seeded team in the event.
The first round win was the first victory for a Bullitt County boys' entry in the state finals since 1998.
LOUISVILLE – For the first time since 2005, Bullitt Central's track program scored points in the state championship meet on Saturday when sophomore Kasey Renfrow medaled in both the 300-meter hurdles and the triple jump.
Renfrow reached the Class AAA State Championships last season in the long jump and that experience paid off on Saturday with two smooth performances that showed no signs of nerves.
LOUISVILLE – It was a good day, but not the great day that Bullitt East and North Bullitt were hoping for on Friday in the Class AA Kentucky State Track and Field Championships at the University of Louisville.

The ousted dictator began the session in much the same way as his previous appearances, shouting his support for Iraqi insurgents and insulting the chief judge.
His half-brother and co-defendant, Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikriti, wore long underwear for the second consecutive day to demonstrate his rejection of the court and said he was on a hunger strike too.
Two other defendants also told the court they were refusing food to protest against the tough stances of the chief judge, Raouf Abdel-Rahman, who took over the court last month and has worked to impose order.
The claims could not be independently verified. One Iraqi judge who had previously been on the five-judge panel hearing the case said he believed the defendants were just showboating. "This is not true, Saddam and other defendants are trying to use politics again to complicate and derail the trial," Saeed al-Hamashi told the Associated Press.
After a short period of shouting with the defendants Judge Abdel-Rahman quickly began hearing prosecution witnesses, starting with a former intelligence official who spoke from behind a screen to hide his identity.
Barzan, Saddam's former intelligence chief, then addressed the court to deny any role in the killing of the nearly 150 men and boys from Dujail, the scene of a botched assassination attempt on Saddam by the Shia Muslim Dawa party.
It was the first testimony of any length from the eight defendants since the trial began. If convicted, they could face the death penalty by hanging.
He spoke - largely uninterrupted - for nearly half an hour, telling the court he went to Dujail on both the day that gunmen opened fire on Saddam's motorcade and the day after.
Barzan claimed he ordered the release of 80 detainees held at the ruling Ba'ath party's headquarters in the town. "I released everyone. By God, 80 people. I said goodbye to them myself, one by one."
He told the court he had no further dealings with Dujail after he ordered the claimed prisoner release. "I never heard of Dujail ever again. I never got a report on it. It was all handed over to the general prosecutor. Why do these witnesses complain against me and accuse me?" he asked the judge.
In previous sessions, some prosecution witnesses - Dujail residents arrested by the Ba'athist regime's security apparatus - have testified that Barzan was personally involved in torturing them after they were taken from Dujail to the Baghdad headquarters of feared intelligence agency he ran.
One witness testified last month that her interrogators stripped her naked, hung her by her arms and gave her electric shocks. Barzan entered the room, ordered her to be hung by her feet then kicked her three times in the chest, she said.
The defendants refused to attend sessions last month after their legal team walked out of court. The defence lawyers have refused to participate in the trial until Judge Abdel-Rahman is removed, accusing him of bias against Saddam.
The chief judge appointed new defence lawyers, but Saddam and the other defendants refused to accept them.
He yesterday ordered the defendants to attend the session. Saddam entered on his own, but Barzan had to be dragged into the court - shouting and struggling and wearing only his long underwear.
The trial was adjourned until February 28.
