As modern renaissance men go, David Lynch has been incredibly prolific, turning his hand to design, animation and writing over the years. He also formed The David Lynch Foundation for Concsiousness-Based Education and Peace and continues in his attempts to raise $7 billion with which to comprehensively fund it. He also has his own brand of coffee beans.
However, his most conspicuous works away from his legendary contribution to cinema have been his numerous forays into the world of music. Though Lynch has been working in this arena since a stab at lyric writing for Julee Cruise in the early Nineties, it's only over the last few years that he's seemed to dedicate himself more thoroughly to the medium, breaking through with his contributions to the Danger Mouse/Sparklehorse collaboration Dark Night Of The Soul in 2010, soon after issuing a couple of intriguing singles then his debut solo album proper, the bluesy avant-electro of Crazy Clown Time.
The Big Dream continues Lynch's train of thought from that album – he's collaborating with engineer/musician Dean Hurley once more, the recordings again taking place at Lynch's Asymmetrical Studios in LA, his predilections and druthers as pronounced, as typical and as all-consuming as ever.
Self-described as a 'modern blues' album, The Big Dream is as warped and wondrous a vision as Lynch has produced in recent times, teeming with his usual cast of naïve dreamers, warped killers and femme fatales. It's also home to his typically unusual conventions and regular patterns of expression – simple, heartfelt sentiments fed through a world of distortion, reversion, dissociation and dislocation to achieve that most Lynchian effect – the beautiful loss, the lusting romance.
This is a world of stars, of dreams, of wishes, playfully delivered and occasionally, suddenly drenched in pitch black threat, perversity even. Take the incongruity of 'Say It', a slanted 12-bar-blues sat right in the heart of the record that crackles "You girls are so sweet" and demands "Tell me you love me… Say it baby" as the track is minced, dented and regurgitated; primal threatening desire gone electro.
This is though, in great contrast to the warped vinyl bar-room pop of 'Last Call', an auburn glowing collage of beats and surreality with a simple heart – "One foot had a red sock, the other had blue / It's Tuesday, baby, where are you?" – run through by the former Eagle Scout's processed, often atonal, warble. Another child's eye standout is 'Are You Sure', a Stipe-like torch song that would have fitted on any of the last three REM records had they been any good – "River like a hand / Jump up and be a cloud again" he implores, starry-eyed. It has moments of real ingenuity and beauty.
Sticking with hope and possibility we have 'The Big Dream' itself, an uneasy lurch into molasses bass hum, Lynch's cracked-magic Daniel Johnston voice never truly melodic but finding enough variation to suggest melody. "We dream together" he whispers "Love is the name in the wind". Smiling sentiments carved with dark modern tools.
The true highlight here is the shimmering 'Cold Wind Blowin', in which he casts himself in the classic woman-done-wrong role to deliver a tremendously sad cabaret of perfect loss. "The game is over, you win" he drawls, Roy Orbison's 'In Dreams' as thoroughly deconstructed here by the 67-year-old as on screen all those years ago in Blue Velvet. Tragedy always manages to rise to the surface in this unreliable world.
Part Willy Wonka, part Dr. Frankenstein, Lynch throws up some genuine fun here too – the Tom Waits stomp n' skronk of 'Star Dream Girl', replete with jittering Fifties guitar and pounding drum; the wobbling industrial western of 'We Rolled Together' and the helium-lunged surf-silliness of 'Sun Can't Be Seen No More'. There are also moments so unnecessary as to render the album overlong, sometimes making it feel laboured, in need of a confident edit.
The fruitless reinterpretation of Bob Dylan's 'The Ballad Of Hollis Brown' feels half dead, pedestrian and ill-suited to Lynch's style – it's an experiment that falls flat.
'Wishin' Well', directly after it, is another wanderer, a sub-Portishead rumble that sure, is pretty, but, definitely, feels like an afterthought.
Much the same can be said for the album's extra track, 'I'm Waiting Here' featuring Lykke Li, which serves only to extend the record in this incarnation, taking away from the dramatic impact of the album's true closer, the aforementioned 'Are You Sure'.
This is a all as you would expect from Lynch – brilliant, inconsistent, pleasing, frustrating. It continues one of the most singular artistic visions of modern times and while it may not push it any further it's often so damn charming as to make you forget about all that and just drift away into Lynch's meditative world, in wrong love with the weird.

Someone once said "Hey it's no big deal, it's just a game right?". As a kid, those games of jacks or playing war were always competitive but the statement held true. At the end of the day it was just a game and you could walk away and go back to being friends with your nemesis of twenty minutes prior. The games we play evolved over time and became not only part of daily life for a lot of people, but a part of culture for us. Take a look at the Nintendo Entertainment System, even if you never owned one you know about it. Products bearing it's symbol are still present.
Fast forward to the discovery of the MMORPG. I played Ultima Online for a good long while as a teen, and then moved away for other endeavors (see trying to be a rock-star). I came back to the MMO scene with City of Heroes and of course World of Warcraft. What stands out about these games is not just the amazing content they can provide and the hours(years) of enjoyment they bring you, but you get to talk and do things with friends and other people. Working towards a common goal whether it is downing a boss or capturing the opposing factions flag still feels great at the end of the night no matter what if you can do it with your friends. It's that aspect of the game more then anything else that draws me into Warcraft.
Warcraft is a rare and unique snowflake. Not only has it set the bar unbelievably high for game content and playability,but the community that has sprung up around it has gone beyond the normal social aspects of any other MMO. There is a feeling of comradeship and competition that spans millions upon millions of people. The first time the true scope of the community hit me was when I read the story of Ezra Chatterton, otherwise known as EPhoenix. He passed away October of 2008, but before that touched so many of our hearts with his visit to Blizzard's HQ as part of a make a wish deal. Hunter season 2 crossbow? That was his idea. It was also a wonderful way for the company to give back to a kid who found true joy playing their game with his father. When his ailment was reported, the outcry and comments from thousands upon thousands of people wishing him well, making characters on his server just to say hi and see how he was doing and even digging in their own pockets to donate funds was overwhelming. It was one of the largest showings of concern and care I'd seen in a long long while. When he passed millions of players mourned together. We has lost one of us, and we grieved as one. That was just one life, one player, one character.
Think back on your own travels through WoW. Have you ever had a friend you made in game that turned out to have a large impact on your life? Did you meet your potential love in real life while running an instance? Do you find yourself making friends in game and then moving those relationships outside of the game? I'm guessing more then a few of you do. I know I do. Lets look at some of the social parts of the game.
The guild is the family unit of the game. You play together,craft together, and more often then not raid together. You share your victories and your defeats with them. You spend the majority of your time in a guild. Think about it, You spend your time with these people like a family or coworkers, and over time you develop strong bonds with some of them. Take a moment and look back on it. I'm sure you can think of a few people who you met through your guild that you considered a close friend or confidant. Like families your guild will also interact with other guilds on your server who are of a like minded direction. They tend to flock together. Top end raiding guilds all know each other, the "brass" so to speak knows each other and interact on a regular basis much like families in the same neighborhood would. I'm sure you know more then a few people from other guilds around the same tier as yours pretty well. Your guild also more then likely has some form of website or forum that lets you keep in touch, even with those who leave the game.
WoW Websites / Blogs
I'm a recent addition to this world in many ways, but it's still amazing to me the sense of community you get when you browse private blogs and websites dedicated to the game. I have met so many people through these sites, not just as a writter here at World of Matticus but through reading other's blogs, following them on twitter and even randomly finding them on facebook. Talking about the game has bled over into talking about real life. Sure there will always be exceptions but I find more often then not bloggers and people who put their WoW ways up on the Internet are a friendly bunch (in my case the term jovial has been applied). You yourself probably have had interaction with a blogger that has grown to what you would call friendship. Communities like Plusheal are great examples. So many people from all different servers sharing ideas, helping each other out with tips, strategies, loot ideas. You can even find WoW Twitters like Mine and Matt's and in fact using such a site further highlights the sense of community. These sites bring us news of events like Ezra and highlight the triumphs and hardships of our gaming community. If not for websites like Plusheal I never would have met Matt, Syd and Wyn and lets face it, those three are pretty alright =D
The Friends list
Throughout your travels you've more then likely gathered a few friends that you've tossed on your list. Occasionally those friends are Real Life friends who happen to be in another guild, or sometimes ex guildies. Sometimes the game can cause a divide in a friendship and cause people to no longer speak out of game let alone in game. I'd like to share a bit about my friends that I've acquired through the game.
One of my best friends is a raiding warlock in my guild. We met through the game and found out we lived in the same city, all of 10 minutes away from each other. He has become one of my closest companions and is like a brother to me (talking about you Tim!). But I probably wouldn't have met him if not for the game. In fact the vast majority of my guild. I talk to them outside of the game and look forward to events like Blizzcon as excuses to meet up with them have a few beers and share in a solid friendship that has be cultivated over the course of years. I miss some that have left the game to pursue other endeavors but I do try to keep in touch. And occasionally I'll get a surprise like last night where friends of old that fell off all radars years ago pop back in the game with a fresh game card and their old level 60 toons.
One of my longest in-game friends left my guild a long time ago, but I always kept in contact. We talk whenever possible and its nice to catch up. She also listens to my rants which is a bonus and she helped me understand a lot about paladin healing when I switched over to healing lead and before I stumbled upon the websites here and Plusheal for information.
I met my girlfriend through the community as well. We started talking about being healers and the game and found out we had so much more in common. I recently made a toon on her server and was invited into the guild she is part of. Within minutes I was welcomed warmly and sincerely and was made to feel a part of the guild immediately. They are a great bunch of folk, and I never would have met her or them if not for the community surrounding WoW. I'm very glad to have met them and look forward to spending more time with them.
I lost a friend because of the game too. There was a disagreement over specs and honestly rather silly things. When the dust settled whether it was pride or whatever, I lost a real life friend that I had for years prior. It hurt but it's just the nature of the game.
I'm in awe daily by the amount of people I get to talk to and interact with through twitter, this website and the game in general. That's the part that really draws me to World of Warcraft, I love interacting with people. I find it so much more gratifying then say, just stomping goombas (although mario time will always be a treasured event). I think it's safe to say that WoW has moved beyond being "just a game".
So how about you? Have any stories of friendship gained or lost to share? Do you think the social aspect of WoW is what makes it such a powerhouse?
Until Next time, Happy Healing,

THE auntie of a baby born with an extremely rare eye disorder has raised more than £700 in less than a week for charity.
Kirsty Brunksill's nephew Charlie Bell was only 14 days old when he was diagnosed with aniridia, a condition so rare that only one in 66,000 people in the world have it.
It is characterised by a complete or partial absence of the iris and means four-month-old Charlie is visually impaired and screams in pain unless in darkness.
Kirsty, 28, of Redness Close, Nelson, said: "My sister Laura says she lives like a vampire because her blinds are always closed. Charlie has to wear sunglasses and people give her funny looks when she's out as if it's some kind of fashion statement.
"He has to have eye drops throughout the day because his eyes aren't moist so it feels like there's sand in his eyes all the time. It's so painful for him and he is sensitive to all types of light."
Laura attended a conference organised by the Aniridia Network UK a few weeks ago and told Kirsty it was 'the best thing she could have done'. Kirsty said: "At first, she found it really upsetting but when she got home she was happy.
"It was brilliant for her but she told me the charity only raised £3,500 last year and needed £4,500 this year to keep going.
"I started thinking about what I could do and came up with the Great Manchester swim."
Kirsty signed up for the one- mile swim in the Manchester Ship Canal on July 19 and has been training daily, travelling to Wigan and Carnforth for open- water swimming.
She said: "It was quite daunting but after I set up my fundraising page, I saw that people had donated £500 in the first three days.
"There was no backing out then."
Kirsty's fundraising has been so successful that she is already planning further events to raise money and awareness, such as a charity night and a bag pack.

It's very costly to keep a person in jail. In Ohio alone, the bill is $36,000 a year. That homeless guy will get shelter, food AND detox in prison. The judge did him a huge favor.
It cost nothing to keep a homeless man on the street. Prison are a gigantic business. A new kind of legal slavery. So if it cost $36,000 a year, that's $750 a week, or $18.75 per hour, how many homeless get payed 18 buck an hour. Do you think when he leaves jail he going to leave with a pension and all the money he made while in jail? HELL NO! He leave with nothing, NOTHING. While some white cop get payed $60,000 per year and gets almost 60% pay on retirement. Jails are a Blight on sociality, white police arrest black men almost all the time. Its SLAVERY no matter how you wash it. pure slavery. Roy Brown was hungry, and homeless. While Madoff Sit in his 7million dollar appartment under house arrest, Where is your priority's?

(Carlisle, Pa.) – The Dickinson College football team suffered a heartbreaking loss on homecoming as Franklin & Marshall held on for 36-28 win here to claim possession of the Conestoga Wagon Trophy.
The Red Devils had a great start, scoring 14 points in the opening quarter to lead, 14-0, at the end of the first quarter. Sophomore quarterback Cole Ahnell (Rockville, Md./Walter Johnson) connected with senior Matt Wood (Baltimore, Md./Perry Hall) for three catches, covering 66 yards, including a seven yard touchdown on the Devils' second drive of the night.
Dickinson quickly doubled the score as sophomore Connor Thompson (Jenkintown, Pa./Father Judge) picked-up a fumble and scampered 14 yards into the end zone with 4:28 remaining in the opening quarter.
The Diplomats answered in the second, scoring 22 points to hold a one point advantage at halftime. F&M drove 77 yards and scored on a quarterback draw by E.J. Schneider from five yards out to put the guests on the scoreboard. The Diplomats faked the extra-point and scored on a two-point conversion to make the score, 14-8.
A mishandled punt led to another F&M score as Schneider found Jordan Zackery for a 29 yard touchdown strike to tie the game with 8:36 left in the half. The Devils blocked the extra-point, keeping things even at, 14-14.
The teams traded interceptions but the Devils got the better end of the deal as junior co-captain Michael Miller (Hainesport, N.J./Bishop Eustace) returned his pick 55 yards for a touchdown.
F&M covered 63 yards on the ensuing drive, scoring on a two yard run by Schneider to pull them within a point. The Diplomats went for a two-point conversion with Schneider finding Chris DeStefano to put F&M in front, 22-21, at the break.
The Diplomats advanced to the Dickinson nine yard line, but turned the ball over on downs. They regained possession on a point and stretched the lead to 29-21, scoring on a 10 yard pass to Tim Muller with 3:09 to play in the third quarter.
Another three-and-out put the ball back in Schneider's hands once again. He led a four-play, 58 yard drive to set up a Frank Strumolo touchdown run, extending the margin to 36-21, as the quarter came to a close.
The Devils would battle to the end, trying to overcome the 15-point deficit. Ahnell completed 6-of-8 passes, including a 34 yard connection with Wood on fourth down to keep the Devils' drive alive. He hit Wood in the end zone for a 20 yard touchdown and the Devils were back in contention.
The Devil defense held on the next drive but the Devils could only move the ball to the F&M 38 yard line before they would turn the ball over on downs. The Diplomats tried to run out the clock, but Dickinson held once more, giving the offense one more chance.
F&M hung on, however, intercepting a hail mary pass on the final play to secure the win.
Wood caught 10 passes for 190 yards on the day. That marks the fourth-highest single game total for receiving yards in program history. Ahnell completed 19-of-28 passes for 254 yards on the day. Sophomore Mathias Bedolfe (Dana Point, Calif./Dana Hills) covered 40 yards on three key catches in the second half.
Thompson led the Devil defense, adding a game-high 10 tackles to his 41 yard fumble recovery. Dickinson has returned a fumble for a touchdown in each season since 2004. Senior Michael Byrnes (Greenwich, Conn./Brunswick School) also tallied 10 stops, adding a tackle-for-loss as well.
Senior co-captain Schuyler Simpson (Potomac, Md./Bullis) recorded nine tackles while first-year Jack Margavitch (York, Pa./Dallastown) came on to tally seven stops, including 1.5 tackles for loss. Walker Moriarty (Snowmass Village, Colo./Aspen) had a sack and a tackle-for-loss to go with six stops on the day.
Sophomore Adam Kaminski (Exton, Pa./Bishop Shanahan) averaged 46.2 yards on punts with a long of 61.
Schneider finished the day completing 23-of-36 passes for 260 yards while rushing for a pair of touchdowns. Lamont Jackson was just shy of the century mark, rushing for 95 yards while Tim Muller caught seven passes for 109 yards.
The Red Devils slip to 2-3 overall and 2-2 in the Centennial Conference. They are off next week before hosting Johns Hopkins University on Oct. 13 at 1:00 pm.

$30 Bucks a Week was a feature on NY12's Brooklyn cable news yesterday! We were interviewed by the extremely nice Kena Vernon at our local supermarket and then took her back to our apartment to make some lentil and sweet potato soup. The segment is brief, but we were excited that our message of shopping for fresh food and staying away from prepackaged stuff came through.
For the soup, we sauteed chopped onions and sweet potatoes in olive oil and added 1 cup of homemade broth concentrate, 2 cups of water, a cup of lentils and salt, pepper and fresh thyme. We let the whole thing simmer until the lentils were cooked through and it was the perfect lunch to accompany today's rainy day.

How does this supposed program run?
How can it reverse-engineer a software program you do not have access to? No executable needed? Does it just pull data out of the ether? What you're describing doesn't make sense to me, and doesn't seem possible.
I look forward to learning more about this, Bob.
"It is easier to contend with evil at the first than at the last." - Leonardo da Vinci
Riddle me right and riddle me wrong,
Riddle me short and riddle me long,
Riddle me all and riddle me none;
Won't I look smart when riddles are gone?
When we speak in code our friends can all cry
How clever we are, how cunning and sly,
To flummox our foes with some twisting tale;
Won't I look good when I take off the veil?
Something obscure, if worded just right,
Might just pass as wit when viewed in poor light.
And my friends all around will strike up a cheer,
Won't I look droll when things become clear?
Riddle me right and riddle me wrong,
Riddle me short and riddle me long,
Riddle me all and riddle me none;
Won't I look smart when riddles are gone?

"Guardiola did a fantastic job at Barça. He is the Steve Jobs of football: experimental, brave, a lover of beauty, and innovative. He is an important reference point in the footballing world, and rightly so. Barça have turned their football into a culture."
Jorge Valdano
"Sometimes you have to hold your hands up to a special individual performance. And that was a world-class performance from a world-class player. It was the best goal I have ever seen. The best before that was Wayne Rooney's (overhead kick against Manchester City). Everyone knows how special that one was, but this one tonight, an overhead kick from 25 yards when the ball is six feet in the air... well, only certain players can do that and he is a special player. It was one of the best individual performances I have ever seen."

Ronaldo is a hard worker, very good, but there's nothing you can do when faced against Messi. What makes him the best is that other great players have had ups and downs, like Maradona. He wasn't half of what Leo is at Barça. Messi has had so many good years in his career that he deserves to be considered the best ever."
Gerard Pique
"That's the way it is with the English: if you score against them you're a good player, if you don't, you're not. I remember Lionel Messi before the 2009 Champions League final. Then he scored against Manchester United and suddenly he was the best player in the world. Maybe now they'll say something like that about me."
Zlatan Ibrahimovic
"The German national team has developed wonderfully. Your attacking football is fantastic. You have one of the best teams in the world. Stars? You don't have any stars! There are good players, very good players, a couple of excellent ones and exactly three stars. The only stars to me are Messi, Ronaldo and Neymar. Marco Reus is an excellent player, but not a super-super-super-star. Do the Netherlands not have any stars? That's right."
Ruud Gullit
"Obviously with him and Abramovich, [friendship] is for life. But the problem with Jose is he still doesn't understand there is a time difference and he keeps sending them when I'm asleep!"
Didier Drogba on Jose Mourinho's ill-timed messages
"I remember in 2005 I was at Homebush Bay when John Aloisi kicked us into the World Cup finals. I remember jumping up then sitting down very quickly. With my rugby league hat on I thought, 'Uh-oh, this could be bad – the sleeping giant just got a giant prod'. The giant continues to be not only awake, but on the move. The stats around participation, crowds and TV ratings are hugely impressive. If football gets its act together, which we're seeing right now, then the other codes need to be really worried about it. People love the game and the atmosphere at the grounds is unique in Australian sport. It's part of the reason that Australians want football to do well in this country because they recognise that it's the world game. No other sport can put us so clearly on the world stage like the Socceroos. Football is the biggest game on the planet and we want to be part of it as a world-class football nation."
David Gallop, the new CEO of Football Federation Australia who previously held the same role for the National Football League, which is considered the biggest rugby league championship in the world
"In other non-Zlatan related news… Mathieu Valbeuna scored a worldy against Italy in a 2-1 win for France. What a player he is."
Joey Barton tweets about his Marseille team-mate
"When I was nine I had to choose between table tennis and football because the lessons for both fell on a Saturday. Then the 2002 World Cup arrived and Ronaldo bewitched me. That's when I left table tennis for football. I'm still quite handy with a bat though."
Paul Pogba
"I never got on with Rafa Benitez. He even made me remove the photographs of my happiest moments with Jose Mourinho and Marcello Lippi from my locker."
Marco Materazzi
The Week in Quotes
"Guardiola did a fantastic job at Barça. He is the Steve Jobs of football: experimental, brave, a lover of beauty, and innovative. He is an important reference point in the footballing world, and rightly so. Barça have turned their football into a culture."

MeritBadgeDotOrg:Guide to Layout
From MeritBadgeDotOrg
|This article or section documents a MeritBadgeDotOrg guideline. It is a generally accepted standard that editors should follow, though it should be treated with common sense and the occasional exception. When editing this page, please ensure that your revision reflects consensus. When in doubt, discuss first on the talk page.
The Guide to layout is a quick explanation of some of the basics of laying out an article. For more detail about style guidelines, see the Manual of Style. For greater detail about how to use wiki markup, see How to edit a page.
This little article is a summary of what some fairly clean, simple articles look like. For more complicated articles and 'tricks', it sometimes helps to copy the markup of some article you like the looks of.
First paragraph
The subject of the article should be mentioned in bold text ('''subject''') in the first sentence, or at least the first paragraph. The name of the subject is usually the same as the page title. Avoid links in the bold title words, and avoid circular definitions. However, most words describing titles should be linked to more detail.
If the article is long enough to have several paragraphs, the first paragraph should be short and to the point, with a clear explanation of what the subject of the page is.
If more of an introduction is needed before the first header, then this can be given in extra paragraphs. It is common for introductions to articles about persons to be like summaries, mentioning the most famous things about the subject.
Introductions should come before the section headers; they should not be in an ==Introduction== section of their own. If there are at least four headers, the table of contents will automatically follow the introduction, just before the first named section.
Disambiguation templates
Disambiguation should be at the top of the article, before the first sentence. Do not make this initial link a section. In such cases, the line should be italicized and indented using templates.
Wiki links
Adding square brackets (
[[...]]) around a word or phrase is an important part of Wikifying articles. This links significant words to a corresponding article that contains information that will help the reader to understand the original article.
"Wikified" articles link important words to their own article. For example, an article might just link pancakes without having to explain what they are. Or an article about laser beams might give helpful background information by following the link from another article. Not every word should be linked, just helpful ones, which are usually nouns and names that would have articles. If there are no articles with that name, the link will show up in red, which shows that it has not been written yet and may need to be written. Long stretches without any links are not common. Useful links that are not mentioned in the article body can be added to the "see also" section near the end.
Structure of the article
Paragraphs should be kept rather short, because the eye of a reader can get tired of following solid text for too many lines. Most normal articles should be written in paragraphs, not bullet points. But lists can be used for reference.
Headers also help make an article clearer and easy to see the structure in the table of contents; see MeritBadgeDotOrg:Section.
On the other hand, try not to use too many subheaders that are not needed, because this can make the article look cluttered. Short paragraphs and single sentences usually do not need their own sub-heading, and in these cases it may be better to use bullet points or bold text instead.
Editors should use their judgement in deciding whether subtopics should have their own pages, or be kept on the main page.
If the article can be illustrated with pictures, find an appropriate place to position these images. For more information, see MeritBadgeDotOrg:Manual of Style.
Standard appendices and descriptions
Certain optional standard sections should be added at the bottom of an article. There is consensus that the plural form of the section name should be used. Changing section names breaks links (hence the utility of permalinks), so it is best not to change already-established article section names. Common sections for ranks and awards are:
==Requirement resources==
'''1a'''. ''links''

'''1b'''. ''links''

==Relate awards==
'''1a'''. ''links''

'''1b'''. ''links''

==See also==
==External links==
Navigational footers should go at the very end of the article, following the last appendix section, but preceding the "categories and interwiki links".
See also
Put here, in a bulleted list, other articles in the MeritBadgeDotOrg wiki that are related to this one.
Related topics should be grouped by subject area to make them easier to find. Please also give a brief sentence to explain if it is not obvious how it is related. For example:
- Related person - did something like this in 2005.
It should be a heading of level 2 so that it appears in the table of contents. "See also" is the most appropriate place to link a Portal with {{portal}}.
Put under this header, again in a bulleted list, any books, articles, web pages and such that you used to write the article or that you wish to recommend as sources of further information to readers.
- Pooh, W. T. & Robin, C. (1926). "How to catch a heffalump" in A. A. Milne (Ed.), The Karma of Kanga, pp. 23–47. Hundred Acre Wood: Wol Press. ISBN 999999999
The most important thing is to put all of the citation information, just as you would for any other bibliography.
External links
Place here, in list form, any relevant websites that you recommend for readers of the article that have not been used as sources. Unlike wikilinks, which are often used within the article's text, external links are limited to the "External links" section. This section follows the same formatting rules as the "References" section. External links used as sources should be listed in the "References" or "Notes" section. Describe it if you can.

The Buffalo Sabres new captain had to prove his worth Saturday night in HSBC Arena. Before the opening game of the season, Stu Barnes had been appointed as the new captain of the Sabres. Unfortunately for Barnes and his teammates, Buffalo could only muster 1 goal against the Atlanta Thrashers in a 2-1 defeat. This time, Barnes was determined to prove his merit. Barnes came through, just in the nick of time as he gave the Sabres a 3-2 lead against the Ottawa Senators with only 57 seconds remaining. The lead held and the Sabres beat the Buffalo Bills in recording their first victory of the season.

text: In the early morning hours of Friday April 11, 2008 39 yr old Jorge Loaiza of Rockford, was forcibly abducted from his vehicle as he left his home in south Rockford. He was headed to work. Two vehicles, occupied by multiple suspects, boxed in his vehicle, forced him out of the car and into a van occupied by the suspects. He was tied up and taken to a home at 124 LaClede Ave, where he was held and repeatedly beaten. At least one of the suspects was armed with a handgun. The apparent motive for the kidnapping was holding Loaiza for ransom. Prior to ransom calls being made the suspects fled the residence on LaClede and with the assistance of a neighbor; Loaiza was also able to flee. Both the Winnebago County Sheriff's Department and the Rockford Police Department were contacted and a joint investigation initiated. Loaiza was transported to a hospital where he was treated and released later that day. Sheriff's detectives and Rockford Police Gang detectives conducted an intense, around the clock investigation. Suspects were identified as members of the Latin King Street gang. The investigation was coordinated with the Winnebago County State's Attorney's office, and multiple arrests have been made. The charges against the suspects are merely accusations, and not evidence of guilt. They are considered innocent unless proven guilty in court.ADDITIONAL ARRESTS ANTICIPATED/ Three weapons have been recovered.Belvidere P.D. assisted in the investigation.#1 Ernesto Antonio Martinez 19yrs old (dob 11/27/88),Rockford -Aggravated Vehicle Hijacking/with a weapon -Aggravated Kidnapping/for ransom #2 Louis Guajardo 21yrs old (dob 11/13/86),Belvidere -Aggravated Vehicle Hijacking/with a weapon -Aggravated Kidnapping/for ransom #3 Jose Feliz Serrano 17yrs old (dob 11/10/90),Rockford -Aggravated Vehicle Hijacking/with a weapon -Aggravated Kidnapping/for ransom During the course of the investigation at least two stolen vehicles were recovered and arrests made on un-related incidents.

Fly Plastic SurgeryVIEW EVENT DETAILS
'Imminent Domain' Designers Workshop Series
Workshop with designer Yeung Chin and pattern maker Michael Lee
Fashion designer Yeung Chin is determined to turn conventional thinking on what is aesthetically pleasing on its head! In this "Fly Plastic Surgery" workshop, participants will use fabrics and quilting to perform plastic surgeries on fly cushions. By manipulating shapes of the cushions, participants are encouraged to apply their new concept of beauty to objects that we may not usually consider attractive. The same philosophy can be applied to the design of clothing, accessories, furniture, and ... to participants' own future lifestyles.
Yeung Chin is best known for his creative flair in the reconfiguration of body shape through clothing design. Instead of simply mixing and matching, he creates his own aesthetic by experimenting with extreme materials, such as pairing raw wood with soft fabrics. His innovative ideas have enabled him to play a key role in designing the main sportswear line for the China team in the Olympic Games in Beijing. Yeung graduated with a MA in Fashion Design from the University of Westminster in 2009 and his work was presented at the London Cheers Exhibition in 2009.
Michael Lee has 25 years of experience in pattern making; with LiNing (2006-2012), he helped produce the China Team performance costumes from 2008-2012. He has also produced costumes for Hong Kong pop stars including Denise Ho (HO C C) and Yumiko Cheng. Yeung Chin's exhibits at Asia Society Hong Kong's Imminent Domain exhibition were also produced by Lee, who established his own leather workshop at JCCAC in 2012.

Illustrated by Susan L. Roth
Cut paper
("Cut paper?" you ask. "Is that really the best description you can give for the interior artwork? You can't even tell us what kind of paper?" Okay fine. According to the book: The illustrations are rendered in collage using paper collected from all over the world: red umbrella paper from Thailand, a cranberry colored envelope from Tibet, a blue from Japan, a dark green from Italy, and many other places. Several kinds of paper were handmade, including the mottled white of the rabbit, made by Sheila Swan Laufer, and the gray of the squirrel, marbled by the artist. So there.)
Dial Books
This is a fun book which, for me, went in a surprising direction. What would you have supposed the story to be about, judging from the title and from the cover? A great ball game? Indeed, but that's only the backdrop to the more pertinent tale of how it is that bats are considered mammals and not birds.
This story has apparently been told in Native American tribes all over, but Bruchac writes in the introduction that this particular version is based on a story told to him by an Oklahoma Muskogee elder, Louis Littlecoon Oliver, who died a few years before this book was published. Here is the argument which is central, which type of animal is better? Those with teeth or those with wings? The argument rises in intensity throughout the animal kingdom, until finally Bear and Crane decide to settle things through a friendly little bout of lacrosse.
Anyway, the lines are drawn and the game is about to commence, when suddenly Bat swoops down, trying to determine which side he belongs on, for he has both teeth and wings. Grudgingly, the toothy-animals accept him on their team.
The game then commences, and takes place over the course of a full day. I really like the way Susan Roth is able to imitate darkness settling in using only her cut paper collages. And lest you think that there is some larger moral emergent, as the animals realize that both teeth and wings are equally important, not so. The story ends with clear winners and clear losers, and the repercussions help to explain some puzzling present-day animal behavior.

The American woman who was fatally stabbed in an attack in London Wednesday was the wife of a Florida State University professor, school officials and Florida's governor confirmed Thursday.
Darlene Horton, 64, wife of FSU psychology professor Richard Wagner was killed when a Somali-Norwegian teen went on a knife rampage through Russell Square. Five others were injured, including an American, Metropolitan Police said Thursday.
Wagner and his wife were in London while he taught in the summer session at FSU's London Study Program. The school said classes had ended and students enrolled in the program had left for the summer. The couple planned to return to Tallahassee on Thursday, university officials said.
"There are no words to express our heartache over this terrible tragedy," FSU President John Thrasher said in a statement. "We are shocked that such senseless violence has touched our own FSU family, and we will do all we can to assist Professor Wagner and his loved ones, as well as his friends and colleagues in the Psychology department, as they mourn."
Florida Gov. Rick Scott also confirmed Horton's death Thursday, tweeting condolences to her family and loved ones.
The 19-year-old suspect, whose name has not been released, was subdued by police and arrested at the scene of the stabbings late Wednesday. He remains in custody, Metropolitan Police said.

No difference in meaning. Just alternative spellings.
Student or Learner
Hi, what is the diference between authoriZed and authoriSed ?
No difference in meaning. Just alternative spellings.
No difference at all ... only that americans spell it different cos they feel the need to be different .
The correct spelling is with an -s-
authorise , exteriorise , summarise ...
color and not colour ... etc ... you actually pronounce them the same but spell them different if you are twisted.
Thanks everybody... it's answerd.
-ise and ize
The first group consists of words which are always spelled with -ise in all varieties of English. The most frequent verbs in this group are advertise, advise, apprise, chastise, circumcise, comprise, compromise, despise, devise, disguise, excise, exercise, improvise, supervise, surmise, surprise and televise, to which we may add the nouns demise, enterprise, franchise and merchandise, some of which are occasionally used as verbs. These words do not contain the Greek suffix -ize and may never be spelled with -ize. British writers attempting to use American spelling sometimes slip up here and write, for example, *advertize, which is never acceptable. Read more here: 'ise' vs 'ize'The Endings -ise and ize
The broad rule is that the -ize forms are standard in the US, but that -ise ones are now usual in Britain and the Commonwealth in all but formal writing. For example, all British newspapers use the -ise forms; so do most magazines and most non-academic books published in the UK. However, some British publishers insist on the -ize forms (Oxford University Press especially), as do many academic journals and a few other publications (the SF magazine Interzone comes to mind). Most British dictionaries quote both forms, but — despite common usage — put the -ize form first.
The original form, taken from Greek via Latin, is -ize. That's the justification for continuing to spell words that way (it helps that we say the ending with a z sound). American English standardised on the -ize ending when it was universal. However, French verbs from the same Latin and Greek sources all settled on the s form and this has been a powerful influence on British English. The change by publishers in the UK has happened comparatively recently, only beginning about a century ago (much too recently to influence American spelling), though you can find occasional examples of the -ise form in texts going back to the seventeenth century. Read more here: World Wide Words: The endings '-ise' and '-ize'All the best.
PS - just seen your post Casi. That link is mistaken when it says: 'For example, all British newspapers use the -ise forms'. Check this link: Search Timesonline
Last edited by BobK; 15-Mar-2007 at 11:29. Reason: Added PS
There seems to be some confusion at the Times: there are 585 hits for "authorise", against 34 for "authorize". Their style guide seems to recommend "-ise", except (with no explanation) in some cases such as "synthesizer".
I've noticed a certain amount of inconsistency, recently, in newspapers and magazines: the occasional "-ize" slips through, in an otherwise "-ise" publication, presumably because that's the usage of a particular journalist, and no one has properly proofed the final text.
My own historical impression, for what it's worth, is that "-ise" endings may be found in original texts from Chaucer onwards, especially where the word comes into English from the French; "-ize" predominates, in BrE, by the 19th century; but at the end of the 19th century, there seems to be a movement towards the "-ise" ending, where such was the earliest usage (e.g. "realise"). But "-ise" doesn't predominate in BrE newspapers, etc. until long after the Second World War; and as Bob says, some publishers (Oxford, Cambridge, Penguin) still retain "-ize", with a few exceptions (e.g. advertise, improvise).
Michael Quinion, the author of World Wide Words, would welcome your findings. You should let him know.

WALTHAM, Mass.- On Senior Day, Brandeis University softball's lone senior Casey Ducinski (Duxbury, Mass./ Duxbury) earned a win in the second game of their double-header against Bowdoin College. The Judges split with the Polar Bears who are ranked seventh in the New England region as Brandeis moves to 22-14 on the year while Bowdoin goes to 28-12.
In the first contest, the story of the game was the Polar Bears' junior starter Melissa DellaTorre (Scarborough, Maine/ Scarborough). DellaTorre was dominant in her one-hit shutout while walking one and striking-out six. She had a perfect game through 3 1/3 innings before walking Ducinski and a no-hitter through 4 1/3 before allowing a single to sophomore shortstop Anya Kamber (Sammamish, Wash./ Skyline High School). The Judges were not able to advance a runner past first base.
Brandeis' junior starter Melissa Nolan (Windsor, Conn./ Loomis Chaffee) also pitched a strong seven innings allowing three runs on six hits with three walks and seven strikeouts but took the loss to fall 9-4 on the season. The big blow by Bowdoin came in the fifth when senior center fielder Gen Barlow (Norwich, Conn./ Norwich Free Academy) launched a long two-run homer over the left field wall as the Polar Bears went on to win 3-0.
The Polar Bears were led offensively by Barlow who finished the contest 3-for-4 with her two-run shot, two runs scored, and two RBI.
In the nightcap, Ducinski was the star of the show as she pitched seven excellent innings, allowing two runs (one earned) with no walks and five strikeouts to improve to 8-6 on the year. The Judges backed up their senior in the third inning when they got to Bowdoin's rookie starter Julia Geaumont (Saco, Maine/ Thornton Academy). Sophomore center fielder Amanda Genovese (North Haven, Conn./ North Haven) began the rally by drawing a one-out walk and stealing second. Ducinski followed with an RBI single to tie the game at 1-1. Rookie right fielder Danielle Novotny (Milford, N.J./ Delaware Valley) was next with a single of her own before Nolan delivered a third consecutive single that brought Ducinski home for the 2-1 lead. Then, with runners on first and third, the deciding moment of the game came on a squeeze play by Kamber. Kamber executed her bunt perfectly as Novotny scored but everything went wrong for Bowdoin when their catcher, attempting to throw Nolan out at third, launched the ball to the wall in left field. Both Nolan and Kamber came around to score as the Judges took a 5-1 lead and went on to claim the victory 5-2.
The first four batters in Brandeis' lineup each racked up a hit and a run while Nolan, Ducinski, and Kamber delivered the RBI. Genovese added to two steals to reach 48 on the season and come within two steals of tying the career record at Brandeis.
The Polar Bears' were led offensively by their junior catcher Casey Correa (Stamford, Conn./ King Low Heywood Thomas) who went 2-for-3 with two doubles and an RBI. Geaumont took the loss to go to 10-3 on the season after six innings of work, allowing five runs (four earned) on four hits with one walk and two strikeouts.
The Judges continue their season on Sunday April 28th with a double-header at home against Eastern Connecticut State with first pitch scheduled for 12:00 p.m.

Creating Renewable Cellulosic Ethanol Biofuel
May 19, 2011
As we deplete fossil fuels, it's not possible to regenerate them, or recapture the harmful emissions they release. Tennessee farmer Brad Black discusses how his 190-year-old family farm will become part of a sustainable renewable energy pipeline that produces cellulosic ethanol from plant sugars, which will be used to help fuel automobiles.
DuPont, in partnership with Genera Energy and the University of Tennessee, is working with local farmers to produce cellulosic ethanol from switchgrass and other plants to ease dependence upon the non-renewable resource of fossil fuels.
These collaborators are working to produce a sustainable fuel for local consumers, and demonstrating a model that can be scaled for use around the world. As the technology evolves, different crops — suitable for different regions — could be used to create renewable biofuels.
