A warning.
Unless a cereal states clearly that it is 'GLUTEN FREE" it's probably not and you should avoid it. My husband was fooled this morning by a box of Kelloggs Frosted Flakes that is inadequately labeled. It said malt flavoring in the ingredients and to a seasoned gluten-free-er like myself that was enough, but for my husband who is new to all of this, it was not. He didn't realize that malt flavoring is made from one of the oft-forgotten gluten containing grains, barley. Again, gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley and rye. It is in a lot of things that you wouldn't expect like corn flakes and cheerios which are clearly labeled as being made of oats. Gluten is usually found in even plain unprocessed oats, because of contamination in the field. It's very frustrating that we can't get decent labeling in this country!!!!
2 comments:
What is even more frustrating is finding a gluten-free product (or "regular" ones for that matter) without artificial dyes in them. Without the warm yellow colour from wheat, gluten-free products are pasty white and unattractive, so they dump a bunch of tartrazine into it to make it look healthy (or fun, depending on the product).
We're about a month in on a gluten-free diet, hoping it helps our 5 year old focus past her ADHD. Eliminating dyes (labeled commonly as "Colour", "Added Colour", or the straight out colours used such as "Red No.40") for over a year now has certainly shown improvement, but gluten seems to be taking longer.

For some, the satiric 'Colbert Report' is a trusted source of political news
Here are some key facts from about who has heard of, gets news from and trusts The Colbert Report as a source for political news.
You don't really have to know a news outlet to trust (or distrust) it
People have views about whether they trust a news organization, even if they haven't recently spent time with it.
Which news organization is the most trusted? The answer is complicated.
Using data from our latest media survey, we look at different ways to measure public trust of news organizations.
19% say they get news from a source they distrust
A significant number of web-using adults get at least some of their news about government and politics from sources that they distrust – a concept that may seem puzzling.
Q/A: How Pew Research analyzed America's polarized media consumption habits
We asked Amy Mitchell, our Director of Journalism Research, to discuss how the new report on media polarization was put together.
Where was Ferguson in my Facebook feed?
There were big differences in the content related to Ferguson on Twitter and Facebook. Was the reason what users wanted from each, or the sites' algorithms?
The EU Elections on Twitter
The conversation on Twitter leading up to the European Parliament elections suggests mixed sentiment toward the European Union (EU) and a general lack of passion about the candidates seeking the European Commission presidency.
5 key findings about digital news audiences
Web visitors who arrive at news sites by typing in a URL or clicking a bookmark behave quite differently from those who arrive via search engine or social media.
Direct Visitors More Engaged with News Websites
Visitors who go directly to news websites spend about three times as long there as those who arrive via search engine or Facebook.

Attack even 7 day-old stains with Tide Original HE Turbo Powder Laundry Detergent with Acti-Lift Crystals. One scoop of Tide powder detergent equals six scoops of detergent with Oxi. It's formulated with HE Turbo technology for 6x the cleaning power in half the time*. That's why it's the #1 recommended detergent by washing machine manufacturers*. *1 dose of Tide HE Turbo in quick cycle vs. 6 doses of the next leading liquid HE compatible detergent in normal cycle **Based on co-marketing agreements
Q: How do I know which versions of Tide detergent are for my high efficiency(HE) washer?A: We've recently changed the location of the 'HE' symbol on Tide detergent for ease of navigation. The 'HE (high efficiency)' is now communicated through a logo on the neck of the Tide bottle. In previous versions it is located near the bottom of the Tide bottle.
This area allows consumers like you to express their own opinions and comments. Tide does not represent or warrant the accuracy of any statements or product claims made here, nor endorses any opinions expressed by the reviewer.
Ever since actilift crystals were added it doesn't perform as well at removing odors.Towels are musty and socks stink.Workout gear is still ripe and shirt armpits still reek.And this is in ANY temp.
Not Recommend Product
We want to provide you with a detergent that cleans your clothes and helps remove odors, and we're sorry that you're not a fan of the Acti-Lift. Our Ultra Tide still has the same ingredients you've come to know and love, however, there are additional enzymes and ingredients to help remove dried on stains and brighten your fabrics. It may help to try our Tide Odor RESCUE In Wash Laundry Booster, which helps remove those pesky odors. So that we can help you further, please give us a call at 800-879-8433.
My laundry is done but my clothes smell NOTHING.. I'm gonna return it and buy an other brand because you can get your clothes as clean and smelling better for cheaper.
That's frustrating, Marine! Especially when we'd expect you to get a great clean and scent from out detergent. We'd like to learn more about what's going on so when you have some time, please give us a call at: 800-879-8433.
Poor scent with blue crystals. NOT happy and hate what you are pushing. It is not the same. I HATE THIS ONE. I bought the original and it is NOT what you say.
We're sorry you had this experience and we'd like to learn more and see how we can help. When you have a moment, please give us a call at 855-236-3353.
Tide Clean Breeze leaves clothes clean and always smelling amazing. I can't tell you how many times people have asked me what detergent I use! Please never discontinue this!

So disappointed. Used to love this, but now it's so expensive and smells strong and perfume-y like all the rest. Wish I had my money back.
Sorry to see how disappointed you were in a recent purchase of Tide. We know scent preferences can vary from one person to another which is why we offer many options. We'd love for you to try Tide again. For help, reach out to us at 1-800-879-8433. Thanks!PattieTide Team
The new original fragrance is too sweet and sickly. The old original fragrance was much more pleasant. I will probably not buy another box.
We're sorry you dislike the new Tide Original scent. We'd hope for it to still provide you with a great clean while still providing you with a fresh laundry scent. We'd like to help you find something that better fits your needs, when you have some free time please give us a call at: 1-855-236-3353.-Brittany at Tide

Kamo roast- slices of chilled roasted duck wrapped around scallion, accented with basil sauce |
Tamakoyaki - sliced egg omelette with bonito broth, wrapped around grilled eel My only complaint was that there was barely any eel in the omelette! |
Bi stick- deep fried shrimp roll with seaweed and oba leaf, served with miso sauce |
Karaage- deep fried chunks of chicken marinaded in sake and ginger infused soy sauce This was superbly juicy and delicious! No sauce required at all! |
Grilled mackerel |
Gindara yuan yaki- grilled fillets of cod fish steeped in sweet soy sauce This was pure buttery deliciousness in my mouth! The gindara was undoubtedly memorable and one of the best dish of the night. |
Onigiri- rice balls topped with spicy cod roe and salmon roe |
We were pretty full but couldn't leave without having something sweet. The first dessert we tried was the black sesame crème brûlée. This was also fantastic and not overly sweet. |

Around 350 people came to the New Parish in Oakland to see Chilean rapper Ana Tijoux perform on Wednesday along with Raw G, 2 Mex, Hordatoj, Magnolius and DJ Nima Fadavi.
Tijoux, who is petite and in the early stages of pregnancy, swayed to her drummer's military beat and spit out rhymes with self-assured, low-key confidence. Dressed in a flannel shirt and black tights, her style was more '90s b-girl than rising international hip-hop star.
When she performs, her movements are minimal. Tijoux may pump her arms forward or bounce to the beat, but her focus seems rooted on lyrical delivery. Of all the elements that make good hip-hop great–timing, meter, lyrics–Tijoux's strength is flow. Her raps are long stretches of stream of consciousness rhymes that somehow manage to express protest and nostalgia in the same breath. Tijoux told the audience that she's naturally very shy, but added that that doesn't always conflict with performing live. "I think to make music is to be in internal reflection all the time," she said. "The important thing is to have the fuerza to say something."
Tijoux, who has recently given concerts in support of undocumented immigrants in Arizona, is the daughter of Chilean exiles and grew up in France. She became well known in the US for her song "1977," which has since been featured in an episode of the HBO series Breaking Bad. Tijoux's music has also been spotlighted on National Public Radio's Alt.Latino and World Café.
"1977" is ostensibly about the year when Tijoux was born, but she uses the song as an opportunity to mark the beginning of her suffering; as the child of exiles, a Latina living in a European country, and simply as a human being plagued by doubt and uncertainty. She refers to herself as an isolated little girl, holding a teddy bear, taking in lo cotidiano, or every day life. Later she describes her adolescence as a difficult period and concludes, "My big quest wasn't about showing off, it was something necessary" (Mi busqueda no fue para mi cosa de escenario, Fue algo necesario).
Songs like "Shock" protest economic inequality and ignorant political leaders. "Poison: your monologues," Tijoux raps. "Your black and white speeches, you don't see that we aren't alone, millions from pole to pole!"
In the chorus she repeats "La hora sonó" or the time has come, and it's clear that she's calling for revolt against the socio-political status quo. Her message references Chilean high school and university students' recent massive protests about education access–young people in Chile have been protesting the lack of public universities and high tuition rates for over a year now–as much as broader disillusionment with global capitalism.
For Eileen Santos, a concert-goer at the New Parish show, that tune is on repeat. "I just listen to it and get like really amped up," she said, "but not in that bad suburban white boy way."
Tijoux raps almost exclusively in Spanish, but her lyrics seem to transcend cultural boundaries. The audience at the New Parish was diverse, made up of older Latinas, white kids with dreads, queer girls and hip-hop regulars. But when Tijoux took the stage, everyone lit up, and the crowd moved in synch with her beats.
Perhaps that's because, as one fan, Mariposa Burciaga said, the rapper embodies the spirit of her genre. "She's the essence of hip-hop," Burciaga said. "I mean sure, she's speaking Spanish. She could be speaking Russian. She's speaking truths, she's speaking revolution."

M is For
M Is For...Maria Mitchell, Astronomer
Poor Maud has drifted out to sea to be eaten by sharks and I am struggling in this A to Z Challenge. Everyone is on Q and I am on M. It's like being the fat kid who's running way behind the rest of the kids on the track in gym class. Well, I do have junk in my trunk and I am not very good at running unless I am terrified.
My choice for M is Maria Mitchell, America's first female astronomer. I love star gazing and I love reading about and promoting great women. Maria fits that description to a T. Born in Nantucket, MA in 1818, she was primarily home-schooled by her father. At age 16, she became a teaching assistant and after only one year on the job, opened her own school. At 17, she opened her own freaking school. How awesome is that? She rented her own space and advertised for students. At 17, I was screwing around and complaining about my lack of a love life. And she did this in 1835. Quite a feat considering the male domination of the time.
She was so impressive that the Nantucket Atheneum Library offered her the position of librarian. This job afforded her the time to read about and study the stars. Her father had a rooftop observatory and she helped him with his star observations for the U.S. Coast Guard. On Oct. 1, 1847, she discovered a comet and in 1848 was awarded a gold medal by the King of Denmark for her discovery. It was called Miss Mitchell's Comet and its formal designation is C/1847 T1. This comet was also discovered by Father Francesco de Vico and it was he who had been awarded the king's prize first. Figures. But, in the end she got her rightful prize.
Maria became the first woman elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1848. The Association for the Advancement of Science followed suit, electing her their first female member in 1850. By this time she was attending scientific conferences and held a position with the U.S. Nautical Almanac computing the tables for the position of the planet Venus.
Her achievements kept getting greater. In 1865, she became the professor of astronomy and the director of the Vassar College Observatory. The college had the third largest telescope in America at the time. She studied Jupiter and Saturn and took photos of stars. In 1869, she scored another victory for women as the first woman admitted to the American Philosophical Society.
In 1873, my girl Maria helped found the American Association for the Advancement of Women. She served as president from 1874 to 1876. The first Women's Congress was held in 1873 and she was there alongside some of the most incredible women ever: Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucy Stone, Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell and Antoinette Brown Blackwell. In 1875 Maria led the Women's Congress.
She encouraged women and young girls to reach out and be anything they wanted to be until her death in 1889. Maria is definitely one of my heroes and she inspires me every day.
One of my favorite quotes from her:
"We especially need imagination in science.
It is not all mathematics, nor all logic, but is
somewhat beauty and poetry."

Fascinating post - I'd never heard of her before.
The fat kid in gym class. LOL. I was always the short kid nobody wanted on their netball team!
Ellie Garratt@Siv Yes! Women heroes are so very important, especially for young girls, but we adults need them too.
@Ellie I had never heard of Maria until I was doing some research for a project in college and I was blown away.
I feel for you about the netball. Being short and fat, I was not exactly top of the class. :)What a fascinating person. And she is so decorated, especially in the sciences. You are so right. It is incredible for a woman to be so accomplished during such a highly prejudicial time.
Astronomy captivates me, but I've never really explored its wonders. The mysticism of space still astounds me.
Great "M" spotlight.Thanks so much for teaching me about Maria Mitchell. I'd not heard of her but it's clear I -- all modern women -- owe her a lot.
I enjoy your visits to my blog so much! Thanks for leaving such wonderful comments, and forgive me for not getting over here quicker. It's been such a crazy, busy month! Have a fab email@example.com. I'm so glad you enjoyed the post. This quote hangs over my computer and inspires me.
@Matt When I first read about Maria, I could not believe I had never heard of her before. She did so much to advance the cause for women everywhere.
The stars are so magical aren't they? I could stare up at them for hours and hours.
@Nicole No worries! Maria really did pave the way for us. I'm so happy you enjoyed my post. I love coming to your blog as I always enjoy your story shorts. Glad we connected and I wish you a wonderful day as well. :)@Gail Hi! Thank you so much commenting and following. Maria certainly was a trailblazer. As for homeschooling, I never thought about it, but I do tutor my nephews and there is something to be said for more intensive studies outside of the school environment.
@Dez I could not agree more with you. Mileva's contributions were most certainly ignored as were those of countless female scientists.@M Aww.. Thanks. Your words mean a lot. Maria was definitely badass, blazing a trail for us way back then like the comet she discovered. I love how she went after everything she wanted and got it.
That quote is something else, too. I think sometimes there is a conflict between the beauty and the hard logic of science.
@damyanti Hi! It's great to meet you here in the Challenge. Thank you so much for the supportive comment an d I am so happy that you enjoyed reading about Maria.@Nicole I'm so happy you enjoyed reading about Maria. I've admired her for a long time and her accomplishments just astound me.
@Jaccstev I did not know about Hypatia! Thank you so much for bringing her to my attention. I'm definitely going to be doing some reading on her very soon. I wish there would be a biopic about Maria. I could see Catherine Zeta Jones playing her.
I love, love comments, so please leave your thoughts. I may not always be able to answer directly, but please know that what you say is very important to me.

In the 21st century…
What is making the news is now news,
You can make money just by moving money,
Politics is now about anything but politics,
You now have to be taught how to teach,
Having an education does not make you educated,
The police need policing,
Being creative requires no creativity,
Networking requires having no networks,
Diversity is not diverse any more,
Children are encouraged to grow up,
yet adults are encouraged to be more like children,
Being an expert requires no expertise,
only the expertise in how to be an exemplary expert,
Words are not enough to articulate language,
To not conform is to conform,
Individuality is no longer confined to the individual,
In trying to be helpful, you're not helping,
Our societies are not social,
Common sense is not that common,
…a paradox is no longer paradoxical.

I hate EveryOne
When you read stuff like this, it really does make you realise the folly of structuralist thinking, or more accurately, the curse of the 'ism'. I remember reading something by Marcus Doel once when the opening line was "I hate everyone" (I forget in which one of the myriad of his marvellous essays it was in and Google is no help). Of course, by that he was not expressing his hatred for the entirety of the population on Planet Earth, but rather everyone. The idea of a singular notion to describe complexity is a disturbing notion. So, when you read Mr. Cameron denouncing 'State Multiculturalism', you have to think what was going through the script writers mind. By extolling multiculturalism as a singular concept to be treated like a commodity is a forehead-slappingly simplistic rhetoric of linearity. There is much reticence in reducing multiplicities to a single form anyway, but to do with something as complex as the cultural rhizome of the UK by shoving an 'ism' on the end seems reckless. Culture is not a noun it is a verb. It is a constant juxtapositioning of ideas, things, people, beliefs, practices, communities and so on. It is performed on a daily basis by the constant to-ing and fro-ing of people's interactions with each other and their surroundings.
Using such language then is a mistake and when it becomes to inform policy it becomes dangerous. Labelling and pigeon-holing is an exercise which is often frowned upon, given that it can reduce richness and diversity to a single descriptor. So by using language which is insensitive to the nuance of UK culture risks reactions that are not helpful, in that they are reactions against an incorrect use of language more than anything else.
In attempting to attack extremism, Cameron has, by using poor language, attacked particular people. Mutliculturalism is not something to attack precisely because it is not a thing at all.
"Just a band?" – A conversation about language
A: "The Beatles, just a band". Too true, the Beatles were 'just a band', as were Led Zepplin, the Beach Boys…."
B: "How can you say that? The Beatles defined a generation of cultural trends! They had massive influences beyond the realm of just music! They created peace movements, wrote songs that have lasted forever! They, they, well, they were simply amazing!"
A: So?
B: So!?? So!????
Yeah. So?
What do you mean 'So'?
I mean, so what? I don't disagree with you, but that doesn't mean that they are anything more than just a band. A group of 4 guys who got together and played music. They weren't even the best musicians.
It doesn't matter that they wern't good musicians, their songs were beautiful in their simplicity and they spoke to a world of music-lovers with their inspired lyrics. They caused mass-hysteria and changed the lives of millions of people around the world!
Yeah but that's the actions of others, not the Beatles themselves.
I mean, what you're describing is people's reactions to them. Not them – if you see what I mean.
No. No I do not.
What I'm trying to get at is that John, Paul, Ringo and George are the Beatles. They are a BAND. Just a band. You can preach all you want about the way in which they changed the world, but you're conflating their influence with their 'band-ness'.
Now your just being facetious.
Well maybe, but isn't that necessary?
Only for a pedantic troglodyte like you.
Why thank you – but it is. If you start drawing in the practices and performances of the Beatles into their ontology then you're creating something which is more than a band. In other words, your labeling the nodes and the networks by just the nodes.
I'm sorry, you've lost me.
What I mean is that if you want to a label to describe the way in which the Beatles influenced the world and all those millions of people, then why use a term that is linguistically designed to signify just a band? The term 'the Beatles' refers to the four members as a collective and not anything else. Think about the Beatles as a node in a network. Why would you label the entire network after one node? There is a multiplicity of actors in play which went into the 'network' of the Beatles and their global influence. What about them (and it's not just people)? What about their instruments? What about the television? Ed Sullivan?? The reason anything gains popularity of influence is through the heterogeneous power of networks which are created by people's actions and performances. Therefore, the Beatles were just a band, what they achieved is a result of action.
Ok – so it is just about semantics. Well done, you've proved a point that people have known about for ages. It's just an expression. Chill out. People understand that words used can often mean more than what is actually said.
Yes but at the expense of the performativity of the networks. What you've just said is that words mean more than what they mean? Don't you see how silly that sounds?
No. But then perhaps you should have asked: 'don't you understand the paradoxical rhetoric that you just articulated?'

Video lectures worth taking the time to watch….
Trawling the internet for videos worth watching is definitely a time-consuming exercise, yet I've found that over the course a year or so, I've manged to accumulate a host of bookmarked pages of videos that I felt I would want to watch again (for differing reasons I hasten to add). So if you have some spare time (which of course in these modern, complex and chaotic days we all have loads of), then take some of it to watch these.

What now for Actor-Network Theory with the advent of Web 2.0?
Actor-Network Theory (or simply, ANT) has been my staple diet of social theory, methodology and research direction for the last 6 years now, with my PhD thesis revolving around the tenant of ANT and Bruno Latour's writings. Adding a temporal dimension, one could say that it was in the late 90s to early 2000s that ANT had its main usage in the social science, with geographers among them; the late great Jonathan Murdoch was a major factor in this usage. The nuances of ANT, if you are not familiar, are fascinating and if you are interested, read Latour's fantastic book, Reassembling the Social, or take a tour around this excellent resource, ANTHEM.
Other authors (Michelle Callon and John Law to name but 2) have contributed, but Bruno Latour can be considered the 'godfather' of ANT and at a recent talk he gave at the LSE, he offered much of the theoretical background to ANT through the lens of the recent technological advances in computer software. Since completing my thesis, I have been content with ANT's place in my theoretical/methodological armoury, knowing it's place and it's limitations. At the time of the talk, I was interested in ANT's properties for social innovation, but now with my foray into the topologies of Web 2.0, ANT has reared it's linguistical head once more.
The associative ontology offered by ANT is one which speaks to the networked nature of Web 2.0 connectivity, for a number of different reasons. But primarily, ANT's focus on practice and action as the formulating power of the network aligns with the performative aspects of Web 2.o. If we take the example of Twitter, the networks formed by people following each other only surface when those people actually contribute, i.e. write something! There are lots spam followers and people who set up an account just to see what it's all about, but then soon lose interest and stop contributing. These 'dead links' create a 'hinternet' of defunct (or dormant) connections which are not acted upon and hence cannot be considered part of the networks (from a performativity point of view). This can be applied to a whole host of digital graveyards – webpages not updated since 2002, blogs going untouched, Facebook groups which are now defunct – they all exist (in terms of wasted memory on some dusty server somewhere) but are not doing anything, and therefore do not 'effect' the constitution of the network.
Also, ANT talks of translation, which is the power of actors to influence the network connectivity properties. This is particularly noticeable with web 2.0 with the ease at which people can get across their point of view. My previous blog entry focused on how information is readily available and how this has the possibility to shape public opinion, and it is this 'power' which is effected through the generation of heterogeneous (or Web 2.0) connections.
The advent of Web 2.0 and the advancements in the semantic web mean that we will be become increasingly connected. While this is a cliché, its truth holds precisely because of the fact that this technology is allowing for more communication and therefore action to these connections. Whereas a link between you and me can be said to exist, unless that connection is acted upon (by talking to each other – which Web 2.0 facilitates) then it remains simply a metaphysical link without any real tangible meaning. Technological change and the link with ANT is now the subject of a specialized journal, and so it is not just me and my ramblings which puport to the fact that ANT has a place in the increasingly connected virtual world.
As I constantly remind people (and myself), ANT works best as a language for describing the world in which we live (well, also as a methodological tool – but that is for the social scientists out there) and it seems tailor-made for Web 2.0. Latour gives frequent talks around the world and if anybody can make it to them, I strongly recommend them, as he gives a very compelling (and always witty) account of technology which is infused with his ANT-inspired lexicon. Web 2.0, more accurately, the multiplicity of apps that seem to be related to it, increase our embroilment with each other, and therefore, as our actor-networks increase, we would do well to increase our understanding of how to best describe and articulate it – and we have a ready made blueprint with ANT.
Interlude 1: The futility of words
Words are peculiar things. They are the building blocks of verbal language, yet are woefully inadequate at their role of communicating what we are thinking. The classic book by Albert Mehrabian in 1971, 'Silent Messages' says that only 7-10 percent of our communication is through verbal language so the spoken word is evidently a distinct minority when it comes to communication techniques. Trying to effectively construct a sentence based on thought patterns, that are created through multiple firing of cranial synapses, could be a little bit like trying to herd cats – the multiplicities of our thought patterns do not transpose easily to the uni-directional nature of verbal language. Once a sentence is started, unless it is finished concisely and coherently, then we appear muddled and confused, and can be often derided for being so. The 'structure' of language therefore can be constrictive to what we are really thinking/feeling/trying to communicate.
A recent book by Steven Pinker, 'The Language Instinct' gives us a fascinating insight into the way in which language is used to denote the complexities of social interactions and meanings, and a recent talk he gave at the RSA is worth watching, if only for the fantastic narrative on swearing and the meanings therein. Evolution has apparently 'hard-wired' our brains to language, as Pinker argues, yet on a more superficial level, do we not see that words (rather than language) are changing all the time? Too quick to be associated with evolution, we see how 'to Google' has become part of the modern lexicon, while words like 'chav' have entered UK language recently, yet has become a very loaded term with some even suggesting it has become offensive and should be banned (or restricted like many other 4-letter words in the English language). Words, therefore, in themselves can appear, disappear or even change over short time periods. This is related to our cultural makeup and different people will use words differently depending on their cultural construction, but in terms of the words in themselves, they are just as susceptible to change as we are.
Words therefore can be seen as crystallised forms of lucid thoughts, a collection of a different combination of 26 letters (in English anyway) that have meaning beyond their initial glance. If you'll allow me to philosophise about these things, words are like what Alian Badiou notes as the 'multiple of multiples', in that they are a rich tapestry of different meanings, cultures and even people that are subjectified by their users in multiple ways. Like numbers, words are a 'snapshot' on a continuum of matter, a peak in the 'plasma of thought' that our brains latch onto. Words, like numbers can be broken down, examined for meaning and truths (positive and negative) and often, under close scrutiny, collapse and require more words and further explanation to build up the concept again.
Negotiating our way through this complex and messy world requires us to socialise, communicate and exchange information at an alarmingly increasing rate – a rate with which words struggle to keep up. Putting those words in a coherent and constructed stratum (such as sentences or language) negates the possibilities that underlie the initial construction. How often do we find ourselves half way through a sentence and soon realising that what we are saying is not what we meant in the first instance? Life is multifarious so why shouldn't language be? Words, as we have seen, can be manipulated, and are inherently malleable. The plasticity of our vocabulary is perhaps the best weapon we have to negotiate our complex 21st century planet, and so experimentation and wordplay can open up avenues of rhetoric that would otherwise travel along a well trodden path, and therefore force the listener (or indeed, reader) to double-take; force them to think about what is being said. As I said, words are peculiar things, but peculiar in a good way…

'Nude Nuns with Big Guns' doesn't need much of an endorsement other than what its title suggests -- sexy servants of God wielding wicked guns. Joseph Guzman's latest about a vengeful nun on a rampage looks like part nunsploitation, part mexploitation and all entertaining. If you still have exploitation fever after Rodriguez's 'Machete' then this one should cure what ails you.
Asun Ortega stars as Sister Sarah, who is abused, brainwashed and drugged by the corrupt clergy of her church. While that might sound like a good time to some of you, Sister Sarah makes it her mission to track down those who wronged her -- after God told her to, of course. She quickly develops a bad habit for big guns and hunts her tormentors like prey in the ultimate battle between good versus evil. The church has other plans, however, and hires a badass motorcycle gang (known as Los Muertos) to kill her once and for all. They quickly realize that Sister is one bad mother!
Guzman's Freak Show Entertainment is no stranger to the exploitation throwback. His 2009 effort 'Run! Bitch Run!' pitted Catholic schoolgirls against killer pimps. Alas, 'Nude Nuns' probably won't be as sleazy as its title suggests -- I think Joe D'Amato's nun flicks have that part covered -- but there's nothing more amusing than a blood-thirsty, gun-toting nun. Blasphemous indeed.
Check out the trailer after the jump.

There's unlucky, and then there's Mike Knuble.
Mike Knuble, who's scored at least 20 goals in both his previous seasons with the Capitals, and in every year since the lockout, has been facing down a pretty tough season. He's scored only four goals, and perhaps more shockingly, played only 61 games, benched by two different coaches for long stretches.
Before Tuesday night's game against the Islanders, Knuble was on a 32-game scoreless drought, before finally scoring in exactly the fashion that Caps fans have come to expect — working hard, standing in the paint. In the second period, Knuble deflected a puck behind Islanders goalie Evgeni Nabokov while screening him to score the Caps' first goal of the night, which eventually ended as a 5-4 shootout victory.
"You go to the net, and things happen," Knuble told WaPo's Tarik El-Bashir. They certainly did tonight! Last season after having one goal in the first 11 games of the season, Knuble once joked on DC101's Elliot in the Morning he was going to have to sacrifice a goat to get his luck to turn around. Fortunately, he didn't have to do that this time… as far as we know.
To celebrate Knuble's long and painful journey to goal #4, our buddy Max Duchaine has created a video to the tune of Tchaikovsky's "1812 Overture". Enjoy.
Very Happy to see Knuble back on the ice for the past couple of games.
Mike Knuble was experiencing a "drought." Once he broke it, one hopes he went out and enjoyed a nice "draught" beer.
Would have been nice if the pings had sounded like the puck hitting the post. LOL!
I actually used a sample called "hockey_puck_crossbar_ping.wav" but no, you're right 😀
It sounded more like someone beating a steel pole. LOL! Oh well. It was the thought that counted.
I thought the fact that the sound was not exactly what you would expect it to be made it ten times more funny. I was cracking up when I first watched it this morning!
Hope our favorite Latvian Canadian American has better luck in getting goals for the rest of this season (and the playoffs)!
Like hitting a steel pole with a rubber mallet…
Considering what he did this morning to Ovi, I think Knoobs better served as a scratch guy. Wrong sacrifices MK. I hope it is nothing serious with Ovi and only for today, otherwise it could be a disaster before lethal road trip. Adding news about Kuznetsov and we have extremely bad day today.
According to reports, Ovechkin went to the wrong side of the drill and caught Knuble by surprise. Hope neither are hurt though.
If you are having an awful 24 hours, here is a gif of Princess Leia handing Luke a beer. http://i.imgur.com/rLsNe.gif
One slight problem with that suggestion: if Ovi can't play tomorrow and Knuble is scratched, who gets to play. We'd only have 11 forwards able to play. Would Hunter go with 7 defensemen and f*** up the lines? I sincerely doubt they'd want to use up a non-emergency callup to bring anyone up from Hershey.
Great to see Knubs score hope that's the goal to get the monkey off his back and finish the season strong. GO CAPS

Q: Why are most hurricanes named after women?
A: Because when they come they are wet and wild and when they leave they take your house and your car.
Wife: "Our new neighbor always kisses his wife when he leaves for work. Why don't you do that?"
Husband: "How can I? I don't even know her."
A man goes to see a wizard and says, "Can you lift a curse that a priest put on me years ago?" "Maybe," says the wizard, "Can remember the exact words of the curse?" The man replies, "I pronounce you man and wife."
You know you're getting old when your wife says, "Honey, lets run upstairs and make love," and you answer, "I can't do both."
A man comes home, finds his wife in bed with another man, and asks, "What is this?!?" The wife turns to her lover and says, "See, I told you he was stupid!"
A young couple is on their honeymoon. The husband is sitting in the bathroom on the edge of the bathtub saying to himself, "Now how can I tell my wife that I've got really smelly feet and that my socks absolutely stink? I've managed to keep it from her while we were dating, but she's bound to find out sooner or later that my feet stink. Now how do I tell her?" Meanwhile, the wife is sitting in the bed saying to herself, "Now how do I tell my husband that I've got really bad breath? I've been very lucky to keep it from him while we were courting, but as soon as he's lived with me for a week, he's bound to find out. Now how do I tell him gently?" The husband finally plucks up enough courage to tell his wife and walks into the bedroom. He walks over to the bed, climbs over to his wife, puts his arm around her neck, moves his face very close to hers and says, "Darling, I've got a confession to make." She says, "So have I, love." To which he replies, "Don't tell me, you've eaten my socks."
My friend asked me, "Why are you getting a divorce?" I responded, "My wife wasn't home the entire night and in the morning she said she spent the night at her sister's house." He said, "So?" And I responded, "She's lying. I spent the night at her sister's house!"
A young man and woman got married. At the time of their marriage, the husband noticed his wife carried a decently sized metal box and shoved it up at the top of their closet. Curious as he was, the wife told him to never to look in it no matter what the circumstances. Over the years, he saw that metal box in the closet, but never peered into it for the sake of his wife. One day, though, the wife had a stroke and was rushed to the hospital. As the husband sat grieving at home, he thought of the box, snatched it up, and sped to the hospital where his wife remained with her death coming soon. The husband bolted to her hospital room and pleaded and begged her to allow him to open the box by her side. "Well" she said, "I suppose now would be the right time." The husband unlatched the hook and peered inside. On one side sat two crocheted dolls, and on the other, to his surprise, sat one million dollars! "Honey, before we got married, my mother gave me this box and told me that whenever I got mad at you, I should go to the bedroom and crotchet a doll," said the wife. The husband was thrilled and thankful. He absolutely couldn't believe his wife had only been mad at him two times! "That is amazing!" said the husband to his wife. "Honey, I'm grateful beyond belief you've only been mad at me twice, but how on this earth did you manage to get one million dollars?" "Oh, honey" said the wife, "That's the money I got from selling the dolls."
A man placed some flowers on the grave of his dearly departed mother and started back toward his car when his attention was diverted to another man kneeling at a grave. The man seemed to be praying with profound intensity and kept repeating, "Why did you have to die? Why did you have to die?" The first man approached him and said, "Sir, I don't wish to interfere with your private grief, but this demonstration of pain is more than I've ever seen before. For whom do you mourn so deeply? A child? A parent?" The mourner took a moment to collect himself and replied, "My wife's first husband."
In the first year of marriage, the man speaks and the woman listens. In the second year, the woman speaks and the man listens. In the third year, they both speak and the neighbors listen.
