Research done by the University of Cambridge and the Medical Research Council in Norfolk between 1993 and 2006 involving 20,000 people has revealed the startling information that:
Taking exercise, drinking in moderation, eating enough fruit and vegetables and not smoking can add up to 14 years to your life.
This held true regardless of how overweight, or poor people were.
To paraphrase John Cleese - Can we get them on Mastermind? Next contestant, University of Cambridge and the Medical Research Council, specialist subject: The bleedin' obvious.
How much did this study cost?
My mother was telling me exactly that in the seventies (except for the exact figure of 14 years) I very much doubt she was the only one - maybe they should have paid her and had the benefit of the information 30 years earlier?
Come to think of it, if they had asked, she would have happily advised them for free, better to have asked me - after she had told me...

I think the research community should pay squillions to be allowed to publish their nonsense, it might concentrate their minds rather more effectively.

Only if it was coming out of their own personal pockets - otherwise it would just inflate their budget and cost more in tax :-)

HB2 was known as the 'bathroom bill.' What wasn't mentioned was that it also applied to high school locker rooms, health club locker rooms, and other public locker rooms, generally assumed to be segregated according to sex. As long as HB2 was in place, your high school daughter in the high school locker room was not in danger of being walked in on by the high school football team or any member thereof. Now the Governor of North Carolina has decided that since Charlotte says it will repeal the law that made HB2 necessary (the Charlotte bathroom bill was unconstitutional according to the North Carolina Constitution), he wants the legislature to repeal HB2. Well, not so fast. Let's look at some of the events surrounding the original dust-up.
Yesterday, The Daily Haymaker posted an article about the repeal of HB2.The article reminds us:
Let's go back to the point about Charlotte's initial move being unconstitutional. Now, WHO is responsible for dealing with actions that violate the state constitution? Why, the elected attorney general. If he refuses to do his job, as he has soooooo often, the state has to shell out money to go to court itself.
So, Roy Cooper neglects one of the primary responsibilities of his job. Gets caught lobbying businesses to avoid North Carolina because of HB2. He spends nearly a whole year lying about HB2 to voters. Now, the drive by media is ready to coronate him as a HERO.
So, what happens now — after HB2 is repealed — and, say, Carrboro tries something similar? We have ANOTHER useless bastard in the attorney general's office who likely ignores it. And we're right back into it.
The idea to repeal HB2 is a trap. It is the carrot over the door to the trap that the Republicans are supposed to walk into.
I need to state here that I do not think transgender people pose a threat to anyone. The threat exists in unstable people claiming to be transgender who are no such thing. The threat exists in a dare on the part of high school boys to go into the girls' locker room. The threat exists in someone claiming to be transgender taking pictures in the dressing room at Target (that has already happened). The transgender population represents less than 1 percent of the American population. Why are endangering women and children for less than 1 percent of the population? Do you really believe that most family men want men or boys in the locker rooms used by their wives and daughters? Do you really believe that high school girls want boys walking into their locker rooms?
Leave the law in place–it represents common sense–men's bathrooms and locker rooms for men and women's bathrooms and locker rooms for women. It's really not that hard.

"Eclipsed by Shadow" by John Royce
"Eclipsed By Shadow" is actually Book One in a trilogy, titled "The Legend of the Great Horse." And holy cow, I can definitely see why this needs to be a trilogy. Quite a lot of interesting plot, way too much to be contained in one book.
Disclaimer: I received this book, and this book only, in exchange for a review. The book was posted on the Member Giveaways section, part of Librarything.com's Early Reviewers program.
Type: YA fiction, Time Travel, Fantasy/Magical
From the back of the book: " Eclipsed by Shadow is the first book of an exciting new trilogy, The Legend of the Great Horse, a journey through the ages when horses were everyday companions in work, war, sport and spectacle. The story is told through the eyes of a young woman, a horse-crazy teenager traveling through time with a knowledge of 21st Century horsemanship as her only defense. "
Well, wow, the back of the book really doesn't do this series justice. It makes the whole story sound flippant and childish, even. But really, I found this book to be far more powerful than the blurb. Yes, we do follow a young girl (she's 15 through most of the book), and yes, she does travel through time, but these aren't easy things Meagan is dealing with. And despite the young age of the main character, I'm not sure I would give this book to a fifteen year old.. unless he or she was very mature. There are definitely some harsh moments in "Eclipsed by Shadow." Not to give too much away, but death, rape, slavery, beatings, etc, are all issues Meagan has to see and live in fear of. All this lends to a very powerful and thrilling tale, definitely, but this book should definitely not be taken lightly.
As mentioned, Meagan does travel through time, in this book alone visiting several periods through History, and I'm sure even more in the sequels. As a bit of a History nerd, I was in love with the accurate details during each time period. A lot of research went into the writing of this trilogy, and I think the author should definitely be commended for it. The language was well done - Meagan didn't just understand everyone she met. In fact, her first several stops on the way, no one spoke English, and she had to find some way to get by without knowing the language. The settings seemed perfectly done, and even the people and their actions fit each time period perfectly.
You could also tell this book was written by a horse lover, knowledge of the breeds, rituals, and the connection one feels to horses is obvious throughout. I rode for several years (missing it almost every day), and I was amazed at the details that were mentioned. Even something as simple (or so most people would believe) as grooming is mentioned in perfect detail, with each type of brush, and the order. It may seem a little information-heavy, but I think it helps to show how attached and connected Meagan feels to the great beasts.
I'll be honest, when the "Legend of the Great Horse" was told to Meagan in the beginning, I thought it was a little cheesy. In fact, several of the beginning chapters weren't really all that amazing. The prose and descriptions were well done, but it wasn't horribly interesting... I actually thought I'd get aggravated with Meagan quickly. But once Meagan's real journey began, I was positively enthralled. Meagan definitely showed her true colors, her spirit and her willingness to fight for herself and those she cared about.
I'm going to give "Eclipsed By Shadow" a FIVE out of FIVE. I truly think this book deserves such a good rating - the History was accurately done, even down the smallest detail, the journey is amazing, and Meagan really rose to each occasion she was thrown into. I do hope to find the rest of this series and continue reading them, and I hope everyone checks out "Eclipsed by Shadow" by John Royce.

Happy Reading!

How much are YOU willing to forgive?
Almost everyone that reads fiction has a favorite - whether it be genre, type of pairing, type of creature, etc. My point with this post is... how much are you willing to forgive an author to get what you want?
This idea came from my previous review - "Fallen" by Lauren Kate. As I'm sure you're all sick of hearing, I have so many favorites.. but Angels, fallen or otherwise, are definitely at the top of the list. I blame (read: LOVE) Thomas E. Sniegoski for this, his "The Fallen" series changed me so profoundly, not just as a reader, but as a believer, etc. After that, I searched for more books featuring angels, and was left wanting. Then suddenly.. the boom hit. Now we have "hush hush," "Fallen," "Gentlemen Prefer Succubi," "Covet," etc. I'm in heaven (Get it? Punny?)! But it's still not enough..
Finally, to my point. "Fallen," as well as a few other books, fell somewhat short of my hopes and dreams, but I was and still am so grateful that my want.. nay, my NEED is being fulfilled, that I'm willing to forgive authors almost any transgression. Like I mentioned in my "Fallen" review, I had a hard time getting past the idea that all of these immortal characters were spending their time in highschool. A very prison-like highschool for that matter. But while that bothered me, I was still so happy to get some Angellic action, that I was willing to overlook it. For the most part, anyways.
Am I alone in this? I will hazzard to guess that every reader has something they're looking for in a book they pick up, whether it be some quirk of the hero or heroine, or maybe a type of person/being you love. But what about you, dear readers? Are you willing to forgive authors things like plot holes, flat characters, weird ideas, etc, just because they write what you want/need?
Please, feel free to comment and share your thoughts! I welcome anyone and everyone else's opinion on the matter.

Review of "Fallen" by Lauren Kate.
I think it's offical. My reading slump is over! Two reviews in two days? It has to be a sign..
Disclaimer: This book is a "Library loot" - I have this checked out from my library, so neither it, nor anything else, was given to me in exchange for a review.
Type: Paranormal romance, YA Fiction, Angels/Fallen Angels
From the back of the book: " There's something achingly familiar about Daniel Grigori.
Mysterious and aloof, he captures Luce Price's attention from the moment she sees him on her first day at Sword & Cross boarding school in Savannah. He's the one bright spot in a place where cell phones are forbidden, the other students are screwups, and security cameras watch every move.
Except Daniel wants nothing to do with Luce - her goes out of his way to make that very clear. But she can't let it go. Drawn to him like a moth to a flame, Luce has to find out what Daniel is so desperate to keep secret... even if it kills her.
Dangerously exciting and darkly romantic, FALLEN is a page-turning thriller and the ultimate love story. "
I hate to say it, but with books like this, I can't help comparing them to the Twilight Saga. Which is usually a good thing for the books, since almost anything can look better when compared to Twilight. This is true in the case of "Fallen" too, I enjoyed this book far more than the Twilight series. Though there were a few similarities - the biggest one being.. why the heck were these immortal beings in high school? A school for delinquents, for that matter. Well.. maybe I shouldn't say delinquent, I'll say "Troubled students." Now, that isn't to say I didn't enjoy the setting - I thought it was an interesting place to throw these characters. But I really don't see why they would want to go through highschool. I mean, most people can't wait to get out of it, why would immortals want to go through it over and over?
So.. on to the characters. I didn't hate Luce. I thought she was interesting enough, and she had real emotions - guilt, trepidation, fear, etc. I also liked the fact that her love for Daniel wasn't just a sudden thing. There was an instant connection, of course, but there was a reason. Another issue I had with the Twilight saga - the love between Bella and Edward didn't feel.. right. It was too deep, too quick. But with Luce and Daniel, they have some other forces playing with them, and it was a good little curve thrown in there. And speaking of Daniel... any one that studies Angel legends, or has read.. any, really, books featuring angels, fallen or otherwise, had to recognize his last name - Grigori. I loved the spunk he showed in the beginning of the book, but he lost some of that spark later on. Admittedly, more and more bad things started happening, so there wasn't really a cause for spunk, but I wouldn't have liked to see more of that side of him. I mean, he had the audacity to smile at Luce, and then flip her off during their first encounter. It would have been a nice twist if he had kept that amusing side to his character, instead of delving into the "almost always serious" territory.
I love books involving angels, especially fallen ones. So because of that, of course I'm more willing to forgive this book any faults I might find. I really want there to be more fallen angel books out there - no no, I NEED there to be more. That said, I didn't feel the whole "I GOTTA HAVE THE SEQUEL NOW!" feeling I usually get - that is.. until the epilogue. A conversation between two important characters that only lasted a page, if that, was enough to make me want to keep reading. And I think that's a great tactic. It wasn't even a teaser for the sequel, just part of the book. And if you can make a person want to read more with less than a page - then you definitely deserve some kudos!
I'm going to give "Fallen" by Lauren Kate a FOUR out of FIVE. I was going to give it a three point five out of five.. but that ending redeemed it a little in my eyes. That.. and the fact I am outrageously bias to anything with angels in it.
Check out "Fallen" by Lauren Kate - and its upcoming sequel, "Torment." Happy Reading!

Review of "Shadow Bound" by Erin Kellison
I was actually sent this book months ago, but I put off the review because I knew the release date was some time away, and I wanted to wait until closer to that date. I know it just aggravates me when I see a book reviewed, I get excited about it, and OH WAIT - you can't get the book for another three months. SORRY! And other times, I forget about the book because the hype was started too early, and then filtered off. So this is me, taking a stand and not reviewing the book until now. Take that, world!
Disclaimer: I was sent this book by the publisher, Dorcester Publishing, in exchange for a review.
Type: Urban Fantasy, Paranormal, Suspense
Release date: This book hits the shelves June 29th, and it's sequel "Shadow Fall" will be released July 27th.
From the back of the book: " DEATH Some people will do anything ot avoid it. Even trade their immortal souls for endless existance. WRAITHS Secretly, inexorably, they are infiltrating our world, sucking the essence out of unsuspecting victims with their hideous parody of a kiss. SEGUE Adam Thorne founded the Segue Institute to study and destroy his monster of a brother, but the key to its success is held in the pale, slender hand of a woman on the run. There is something hauntingly different about Talia O'Brien, her unknowing sensuality, her uncanny way of slipping into shadow. TWILIGHT This is the place between life and what comes after - a dark forest of fantasy, filled with beauty, peril, mystery. And Talia is about to open the door. "
I'm a big fan of mythology. I'm nerdy enough to study it on my own, and I especially love mythology in fiction. Some great examples of this would be my love for the Dark-Hunter series by Sherrilyn Kenyon, and the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan. There are countless others, as well, and now we have "Shadow Bound" to add to the list. I believe Celtic mythology is the most prevalent in this book, though there are hints of others as well.
I thought this book was fantastic because of the creatures. There's a demon, Death, wraiths.. wonderfully created beings that just make me want more. The Wraiths in "Shadow Bound" can be likened to vampires, immortal beings with super-enhanced abilities, and the urge to feed not on blood, but on human souls. Along with wraiths, we have the demon who heads them. Death, a chained creature that plays a powerful role. All of these together form a hugely dense bit of fiction. At times, I was a little overwhelmed by how much was packed into what felt like such a short novel. "Shadow Bound" is 322 pages, but so power packed, it felt like it went by in a flash. I'm not sure how much I can express my need for the second book, so I can see what happens to these creatures. After the ending of this one, I'm not sure the second can hold a candle.. but we'll see.
As for the characters themselves, I liked them - Adam especially. But Talia just felt off to me, for some reason. I liked her well enough, but she seemed... I don't want to say flighty, but there were several occasions where she seemed resolved to something, and several pages later, she would be just as dead set on doing the very opposite. There were circumstances that made her change her mind, of course, but she had been so passionate about doing one thing, it felt a little weird for her to switch so completely, without even a moments hesitation. These moments occured earlier on in the story, and by the end, her character had redeemed itself to me. I felt better about Talia, and especially loved the choice she made in the end, which lead to the choice Death made, which I loved even more. Seriously, there's has to be something wrong with me that I often love the Death personified character in books. I loved Death in "Shadow Bound," I love Hades in the Dark-Hunter series.. and there are plenty more.
I'm going to give Shadow Bound a FOUR out of FIVE. I enjoyed the plot, the story, and the characters. I'm going to have to go out and pick up the sequel, "Shadow Fall" when it's released July 27th. And please, make sure to go get your copy of "Shadow Bound" by Erin Kellison when it is released, June 29th.
Happy Reading!

Ofcom is seeking to stop internet service providers from advertising unrealistic broadband speeds.
Currently most ISPs advertise services as 'up to' a certain speed - for instance, 20Mbps (megabits per second).
But Ofcom's latest research finds that very few consumers actually get these headline speeds.
Ofcom's latest research into broadband speeds found that just 14% of customers on 'up to' 20Mbps services received speeds of over 12Mbps, while 58% averaged speeds of 6Mbps or less.
Cable and fibre services fared better, with 92% of V***** M**** customers on an 'up to' 50Mbps service averaging 45.6Mbps.
BT's Fibre-to-the-Cabinet technology, which is currently available to 15% of UK homes, has an average of 31.8Mbps on the 40Mbps service.
BT is not impressed with Ofcom's idea.
"We have real concerns with their approach. Broadband speeds vary from line to line and so it is meaningless to use one speed for advertising. That is why we use the term 'up to'," said John Petter, managing director of BT Retail.
He said he thought such a policy "would encourage digital exclusion rather than tackle it".
"Enforcing typical speed ranges is also dangerous as it could encourage more ISPs to cherry pick customers who will increase their average, leaving customers in rural and suburban areas under-served," he said.
I think this will be a positive development. When the maximum level is fixed, the most obvious way to increase the average is to work on the handful of lowest figures. BT will have a real incentive to sort out the performance of connections giving people low speeds.
Excellent news, the sooner the better.
All the BT advertising hints at high speed internet - lots of whiz bang imagery, and promises about Infinity.
The truth is that, in London, I get 3mb max, and often much less. 3mb Max.
In a ten year old, very large modern development in Wimbledon, six miles from Whitehall.
And here, in the Capital City, there are NO plans to roll out Infinity to my area whatsoever.
It's like Ford selling cars with images of the Bugatti Veyron, while only supplying Fiesta 1.1's
Watch TV on laptops? Bunch of dreamers - no chance!
I feel 'Up to' is acceptable, 'Maximum product speed' (with the usual caveats about line length, quality, etc) would be better when advertised alongside a minimum product speed guarantee, say 2Mb/s.
Far more pernicious are 'Unlimited' claims (which Ofcom/ASA are also investigating) - any service which is advertised as 'Unlimited' and has ARTIFICIAL constraints placed upon it is not unlimited!
Blaming users for actually using the product they have purchased and restricting 'heavy' users is disingenuous! IF a package is described as unlimited then the available bandwidth should be shared equally between those users contending it rather than the more common 'you've exceeded your permitted bandwidth of this unlimited product... we're restricting you to speed X during peak times.'
Such restrictions are not for the benefit of the other customers... if memory serves, residential bandwidth is contended 50:1 (or thereabouts)... if the ISP has insufficient bandwidth to accomodate a serviceable connection to each of those users simultaneously that is the ISP's problem but which would they prefer to, potentially, lose? A few 'heavy' users or fifty customers for having the audacity to expect some minimum level of service?
Well that's a pointless idea Ofcom. Do they bother to consult with anyone before they dream up these ideas?
Yes they do. There was a national consultation with views sought from 'interested parties' and individuals alike.
Was quite widely reported including on the BBC and TheRegister and, I'm sure, other places.
so who has the fastest speed BT or VIRGIN?
I iwsh they'd ban the 'free line connection' ads unless with the caveat of 'free if you live within spitting distance of a BT pole'.
Finally Ofcom is going to step in and force ISP's to be more truthful about the speed you can actually get, and are going to ban the 'upto 20meg' adverts, and force ISPs to give an average speed that the company supplies its customers.
Its a shame this doesnt apply to 'unlimited' with a hidden FUP, like the 300gb limit bt enforce.
But... guess which company is calling it unfair... yup thats right BT... and why is that?
Because of the poor service, and low speeds it provides its customers... i

Q: What is Collagen and Elastin?
A: Collagen and Elastin are the two main components of our skin. Collagen is the primary component of our body's connective tissue. It consists of 80% of the dermis, which is the second layer of our skin. It is also the skins most prominent moisturizing element. As we age though, our skin loses its vitality and the collagen fibers become thin and slowly dry out. This process can begin as early as when we are in our mid to late twenties. Elastin enables our skin to stretch and bounce back. It is a natural component to collagen.
Q: What are the benefits of adding Collagen and Elastin to my skincare routine?
A: The benefits of elastin include- Enhancing moisture and elasticity in your skin. Improving skin tone, firmness and tightness. Combined with collagen, it fortifies the skin, and it is excellent for calming and reducing redness. The benefits of collagen include- Delaying formation of wrinkles. Promotes skin vibrancy and clarity. Increases skins ability to retain moisture. Collagen can hold up to 8X its weight in water. Smoothes fine lines and wrinkles. Tightens the pores.
Q: There are many different types of Collagen on the market, why Clayton Shagal Collagen?
A: Purest form of collagen ever extracted, that is medical grade and 99% pure. -18 years of scientific research before getting put on the market. -Molecule is live and the perfect size, shape and weight to penetrate as deep as an injection without the injection
Q: How do I use the Collagen and Elastin products?
A: It all depends on whether you cleanse your skin once or twice per day. Once a day Instructions (Alternating Collagen & Elastin product): Cleanse your skin thoroughly (with a cleanser) and let dry. Washing your face with water, bar soap, or with a damp facecloth does not count as cleansing; you need to use a cleanser. Next, make sure your skin is completely dry before applying; otherwise the product will not penetrate as deep as an injection. Apply a pea-sized amount to your fingertips and dot across your entire face from your forehead down to your neck including inside your eye contour. Then, any excess can be massaged gently followed by a pinching motion across face for deeper penetration. It should take less than 30 seconds for the product to penetrate into your skin, otherwise you have used too much.
Twice a day Instructions (Elastin in the morning, Collagen at night) Cleanse your skin thoroughly (with a cleanser) and let dry. Next, make sure your skin is completely dry before applying product. Apply a pea-sized amount to your fingertips and dot across your entire face from your forehead down to your neck including inside your eye contour. Any excess can be massaged gently, followed by a pinching motion for deeper penetration. Remember, Elastin in the morning and Collagen at night. Collagen must be used at night due to the molecule being more complex than the elastin, and the boost of moisture works better when your skin is regenerating while you are asleep.
Q: Why does the skin have to be completely dry?
A: Water molecules are much larger than collagen and elastin molecules. -Will block the product from penetrating as deep as an injection.
Q: When can I apply my moisturizer and other facial products I own?
A: After cleansing, and applying collagen or elastin gels and serums. -Any product under the gels or serums will prevent it from penetrating properly.
Q: Can I apply a toner after using the collagen and elastin products?
A: No, this will wipe away the product. -Alternative solution is to purchase a cleanser with a toner in it. -Toner is important because it balances the PH of your skin. -Clayton Shagal Gel lotion cleanser is a 3 in 1 makeup remover, cleanser and toner. -It is for all skin types, and especially great for people with oily skin.
Q: Will my skin develop any reactions from using the collagen and elastin?
A: There is no way you can have an allergic reaction, however, if your skin is weak, and cannot handle the positive changes that the products are trying to achieve, your skin may respond too quickly and symptoms may occur. -Elastin side effects include dryness, redness and flakiness -Collagen side effects include breakouts due to toxins purging from the skin -If any of these side effects occur while using either Collagen or Elastin: Discontinue use for a few days, and then only use once per week, for a few weeks, then twice per week for the next few weeks, to allow your skin to strengthen more slowly.
NOTE: It is very uncommon for any sort of adverse response to occur. The ingredients in these products are so active, that sometimes the positive changes can be postponed, as the skin cannot transform at the rate the products are stimulating it.

My demonstration on using the Novation Launchpad and Drum Racks in Ableton that I did for Novation has been viewed over 25,000 times 🙂
Novation Launchpad – User Mode 1 (Drum Rack)
In this video we take a look at User Mode 1 on the Novation Launchpad, which is tailored for triggering Drum Racks in Ableton Live.
By default the Pad LEDs don't respond when pressed in User Mode 1 or when notes are being played by Ableton so I'll show you some MIDI routing that will allow you to get a visual feedback.
Using the Drum Racks in User Mode 1 it's quite easy to build up a drum loop using Overdub in a MIDI clip.
In this video I'll demonstrate an interesting feature of Ableton: MIDI Remote Scripting. This allows you to use any MIDI controller, in our case the Novation Nocturn, to access the first 8 Controls of a focused Device in Ableton. This is a similar feature to the Track Control section on the Akai APC40.
You can read more about it here & here.
I've uploaded the edited script and Automap Settings here:
As I mention in the video, being able to instantly access Device Controls is fantastic when working in the studio, however I prefer hard mapped controls when performing so I know what's what.
Launchpad & Nocturn – Instant Track Control Using MIDI Remote Scripts
This month we celebrate the 1st Birthday of Digital Republic and to mark the occasion I've recorded a special studio set of unreleased material all performed live in Ableton Live.

Staying Active as You Age
4 Tips for Staying Active as You Age
As you are getting older, you might not feel like being as active as you once were. However, you should understand the importance of staying active and how it can affect your heart health and overall health. Staying fit and active as you age might not seem easy, but following these tips can help you stay healthy and happy in the years to come.
1. Start Small
If you haven't worked out in a long time, it will probably be hard on you to try to tackle a major workout like you might have done in the past. Instead, consider starting slowly so that you won't put so much stress on your body. Doing things like parking farther away when you go to store, going for short walks around your neighborhood or even just walking around your yard can help you get started. Then, you can work your way up to longer and more strenuous workouts.
2. Get in the Water
One thing that you might be worried about when it comes to exercise is putting excess pressure on your joints. Luckily, there is a great solution. Swimming is gentle on your joints, can provide you with a great cardiovascular workout and can be a lot of fun. Consider joining a community pool so that you can get in the water and get active. Along with swimming laps or just splashing around in the pool, you can even sign up for a water aerobics class to get an even better workout. Plus, this is a great way to make friends with others who love taking a dip just as much as you do.
3. Take a Class
Don't assume that gyms are only for young health nuts and exercise buffs. Many gyms offer classes that are designed just for senior citizens. There are also beginner's classes of many different types, including yoga and aerobics. These classes can help you break a sweat with the help of a professional, and you won't have to feel pressured if you take classes that correlate with your age and skill level.
4. Talk to Your Doctor
It's always a good idea to talk to your physician about your potential workout regimen, especially if you have health issues. Luckily, your doctor can talk to you about your options and can even give you solid ideas for getting and staying active.
Staying active as you get older can be tough, especially if you have health issues. Luckily, these four tips can help.

Basketball coaches teach, train and direct players before, during and after
games. They work with all ages and at all levels of play -- from youth leagues
to the professional leagues.
Being a good coach means knowing the game and how to pass on that knowledge.
The most successful coaches have a strong philosophy about basketball that
shapes their coaching style -- some believe in defense, outside shooting or
scoring from under the basket. Coaches enjoy many rewards throughout the whole
process of getting to a winning level.
Ross Tomlinson, who used to coach university men's basketball, says that
the brief moment when his team wins a game does not compare to the high he
gets from hours and hours of practice.
"You tend to remember things along the way and through the course of the
season...and the people that you interact with more than a single event,"
says Tomlinson. "I find single events to be fairly non-defining."
Coaches spend much of their time preparing players. They run practices,
invent and teach plays, scout opponents, and at some levels, even scout for
future players of their own. They meet with other coaches, work with players
on the courts and perform administrative tasks in an office.
Basketball is big business. It can bring a lot of money and attention to
certain colleges and individuals. This means that coaches will often be asked
to visit high schools across the continent to spot the brightest young stars
and promote their schools.
Help players perform at their peak

Monthly Archives: December 2012
Christmas 2012
I've been meaning to post this for the last several days, but kept forgetting. In any case, better late than never. Here's my Christmas picture and letter for 2012.
Christmas 2012
Dear Family and Friends,
I know after last year you all have been counting the days until you received my next Christmas newsletter, and I completely understand why, so let's go ahead and get the "elephant" in the room out of the way. I ended my last letter reminding you all to tune in on January 9th to see Alabama play for its 14th football National Championship. Little did I know we'd need to stay glued to our televisions into June. Following the 21-0 win over LSU in the BCS National Championship game in New Orleans, LA, the Alabama women's gymnastics team brought home a national championship in April from Duluth, GA winning back to back championships in the sport for the first time in school history. Not to be outdone, the women's golf team brought home their first national championship in May from Franklin, TN. And finally, the softball team that had been knock, knock, knocking on the door of the Women's College World Series championship for years won their first national championship in June on a rain-soaked diamond in Oklahoma City, OK. Quite a way for our women's teams to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Title IX. We very nearly had a fifth team championship to report, but the men's golf team came in second to Texas in the national championship literally by one stroke on the 18th hole. So, by the time summer rolled around, my beloved Crimson Tide had experienced one of the most successful years in college sports history, and I couldn't have been prouder of how each of them represented our school. It was practically surreal and still is even now as the football team is preparing to take on the Irish of Notre Dame in the BCS national championship game on January 7th in Miami, FL. I know at some point this ridiculous ride will come to an end, so I'm savoring every ounce of it while it's spinning.
Now, let's see what else happened this year. In March, the South Florida women's basketball team was invited to play in the WNIT. They played a game against James Madison University here in Virginia, so I drove out to see them. Despite losing the game, the girls fought hard, and it was great to get to see my brother. In April, I traveled to Atlanta, GA to visit my college roommate, Stefanie and her family. It was a nice vacation, but not nearly long enough. We ate and shopped and watched movies and got tattoos. Yes, you read that right. We both wanted new tattoos, so we decided to go to the shop (Inksomnia in Alpharetta, GA. Ask for Jeff.) together during my visit. I had promised myself I'd get an Alabama tattoo if we won our 13th national championship in 2009. I was definitely overdue on keeping my promise, but nevertheless, I kept it. Interestingly enough, we got our tattoos on April 13th…4/13…FOR #13. That was completely unplanned, but in hindsight it seems like it was meant to be. Stefanie got an equally appropriate tattoo for her that read "Flawed but Fabulous." In October, Stefanie and her family came up to visit her husband's family for an all too short weekend, but we got to spend an afternoon together window shopping at the mall and talking each other's ears off.
In July, mom and dad came for a visit over the week of July 4th, so I took some time off from work to spend with them. I even took them to their first Washington Nationals baseball game while they were here. In late July, my annual conference for work took me to Nashville, TN. I had been there before, but only briefly, so this was my first time to really see the sights of Nashville like the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Ryman Auditorium, and the Grand Ole Opry. The Ryman even had this eeriness to it like you could feel the ghosts of past performers in the building; however, the eeriest part of any tour I took was the line that was nailed to the wall in the backstage lounge of the Opry showing where the flood waters had reached in May 2010. The building is on a hill, and that line was easily up to my waist.
In August, the NFL, as it is wont to do, began a new season, but this time, my precious Peyton Manning no longer had a horseshoe on his helmet, but rather a horse's head. The Colts released him in March and a week later John Elway signed him as a Denver Bronco. It has been a relief seeing him play in a way that suggests he hasn't lost a step during his time off recovering from four neck surgeries. As hard as it has been to embrace the color orange, I have enjoyed becoming a Bronco fan this season and hopefully for many seasons to come. Also in August, at a Bucs preseason game, mom, dad, and Andy were randomly invited at the concession stand by the Bucs Executive VP Bryan Glazer to sit in the owner's box for the game. They were treated like royalty with great seats, food, and gifts. It may very well have been one of the greatest days of my father's life. The smile on his face in the pictures is priceless. It was an incredible honor for him considering the loyalty and dedication he has given that organization. He can still count on one hand how many home games (all preseason) he has missed in 37 seasons. Over Thanksgiving, I got to attend the Bucs/Falcons game with them, but even though I kept my eyes peeled for Bryan Glazer to walk by, we, unfortunately, had to sit in the regular seats. However, I did get to see former Colt Dallas Clark and former Alabama greats Julio Jones and Mark Barron play.
In September, we celebrated Lincoln's 5th birthday, and quite slyly, mom pulled off a surprise 70th birthday celebration for dad complete with my Uncle John and Aunt Gussie, friends, Rotarians, and former colleagues attending. It was a joy to see so many people who love my father wanting to celebrate his life so far. He is well loved, deservedly so. While I was home, I attended his weekly Rotary meeting with him at which he presented Andy and me with Paul Harris Fellows (named for the founder of Rotary International) to honor us for all the work we've done with him over the years to help the Rotarians in their community service. It was a truly unexpected honor to receive it from my father who taught me the importance of giving back.
Other happenings this year included Andy resigning from the South Florida women's basketball team to return to the classroom full time at Benito Middle School teaching reading. Janet received the Teacher Incentive Fund Award in recognition of the improvement her students have made because of her teaching. Lincoln, having missed the birthdate cut off for kindergarten by five days and his preschool having to close its doors due to funding, started the Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten program at Family of Christ Christian School. He is smart as a whip, knows his alphabet and his numbers (much to the pride of his accountant Aunt), is easy to smile and laugh, and will talk your ear off about dinosaurs (complete with scientific names and facts). I'm not ashamed to admit the kid's probably smarter than most of us. Mimi and Pa continue to be very good at retirement and at being two of the best grandparents a kid could have, in my humble opinion.
I hope all of you have enjoyed 2012 in countless ways, and are looking forward to a prosperous 2013.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,Leann

Here's Johnny
Dear Johnny,
Can we call you Johnny? You're the most important person in college football now, so we weren't sure if we were still on a first name basis with one of the starting quarterbacks of this year's Cotton Bowl or if we needed to show reverence by calling you Mr. Manziel. Anyway, we just wanted to congratulate you on winning the 2012 Heisman Trophy. It's always a remarkable achievement, but for you to win it as a redshirt freshman is even more impressive.
It was a pleasure playing against you this season, and we hope you found us to be welcoming and accommodating during your visit to our house. Now, we don't want to dampen your glory by bringing up paperwork, but we are looking forward to receiving your "thank you" note to add to our collection. No rush, really. We're still waiting for one from Cam Newton, after all. We hear he's too busy counting his money from the bag man to pick up a pen. We're not even sure he can count that high, so it could be a while. And you know, we even thought we might get one from Peyton Manning. Had the frame all ready for it, but that Charles Woodson had to horn in and ruin everything. We're still a little bitter about that one, but we digress.
We look forward to hearing from you, and congratulations, again.
The Alabama Defense
P.S. We hope you will remember our hospitality when we come visit you next year in College Station. We know Coach Saban will. Roll Tide!

Assuming that you're gripping the firearm with two hands, you have a simple choice; either cock the hammer with the thumb of your dominant hand or your support hand. And whilst we're mainly talking about single action revolvers here, this could also apply to shooting a double action revolver in single action mode.
Firstly, as long as you're adhering to the basic safety rules (particularly point the firearm in the safest available direction and keep the trigger and trigger guard clear), either method is safe.
I would, however, mostly recommend that people use their support hand thumb to cock the hammer; this ensures that the dominant hand can maintain a solid grip throughout the process. With that said, everyone's body mechanics and physical capabilities are different so, as with most recreational pleasure shooting, I usually encourage people to use whichever method is most comfortable and efficient for them.
Of course, if you're shooting one handed then it's perfectly acceptable to cock the hammer with whichever hand is gripping the firearm.
Cowboy action shooters using SA revolvers will often point-shoot from the hip, and in doing this will sometimes hold the trigger down and snap the hammer back with their support hand à la Clint Eastwood. Whilst this can be an unpleasant experience unless you're very skilled or using low powered cartridges, I see no problem with it as long as your firearm is pointed at a safe, legitimate target.
What is the safest way to de-cock a hammer?
Unless your firearm has a built in de-cocker (like many double action semi-automatic handguns), when you want to de-cock the hammer you must first pull it rearward to take pressure off the sear, then press the trigger and slowly lower the hammer in a controlled manner.
This is a potentially dangerous process; if your thumb slips whilst pulling the hammer back and you release it unintentionally, the firearm will likely discharge.
So, to make sure an ND doesn't happen, it is always good practice to ensure that you cover the firing pin (or firing pin channel) to protect it from the hammer in case it falls uncontrolled.
To do this, most people can place their support hand thumb in the gap between the hammer and the frame – this is often known as "the two thumb de-cocking method". But if you have meaty hands (or a small firearm) and your thumb won't fit in the gap, then you can try your pinky instead. If that won't fit, then find something that does (e.g. pen cap etc.) – as long as it's strong enough to prevent a ND in the event the hammer falls, it should work.
Of course, when lowering the hammer, as soon as it touches your support hand thumb (or pinky) you will need to move it out of the way to allow the hammer to move into the fully de-cocked position.
And yes, if the hammer slips and strikes your thumb it can hurt a little bit, but that's better than an ND.
Some revolvers have safety mechanisms which will not allow it to fire unless the trigger is completely depressed throughout the firing process. The most common of these are the hammer block (aka firing pin block) and the half-cock position safeties. Another, more modern revolver safety is the transfer bar which, although it works in a different way, still requires the trigger to be fully depressed for the gun to fire.
In either case, if your firearm has one of these types of safeties, you should still follow the above procedure but as soon as you begin lowering the hammer, release the trigger. At that stage the safety mechanism can engage and it should be safe to remove your second thumb – but I suggest you keep it there anyway as this will create a consistent safe practice regardless of which type of firearm you're using.
I recommend that this method be used when de-cocking any type of firearm with an exposed hammer (unless using a built in de-cocker). It doesn't matter what type of firearm it is – revolver, lever action rifle, coach gun etc. – and it doesn't matter whether or not it's loaded (remember: treat all firearms as loaded).

One of the chief complaints about AMOLED and OLED display technologies is that they do not perform as well under direct sunlight as their LCD counterpart, with the former two having washed out, unreadable screens. We have witnessed that to a certain degree with the GSM Omnia II when the Samsung device initially launched. However, it seems that this may not be case anymore as the Omnia II is pitted against the LCD of the Nokia N900 and the AMOLED display performs quite well, besting the N900 under the bright sun. I had found both to be quite usable under examination under the cloudy skies of the San Francisco Bay Area–we haven't had much sun here recently–and the viewing angle that was shot may be a bit deceptive.

Drawing Fractal Trees - Part 2
We've established that drawing the tree will use the concept of self-similarity. To put this in action, we're going to use what's called an L-System. Here's a crash-course...
Firstly, we establish that we have a "pen" that at any given time has a current position and a current heading/angle. It's always touching the paper, so when it moves forward, you get a line drawn. If you ever learned LOGO in school, this will be familiar.
Let's define a very simple set of operations.
|Move forward by a fixed amount.
|Turn a little to one side.
|Turn a little to the other side.
|Remember your current position and heading, and store in a stack for later retrieval.
|Retrieve the previous position/heading from the stack.
So if we feed something like "F+F+F+F" to our pen, we'll get a square, provided the angle that "+" uses is 90 degrees.
Take something a little more complex, such as "F[-F][+F]". This will draw a Y shape; walk it through on paper and see. The key thing to connect at this point is that the "[" and "]" characters are perfectly represented by a recursive call to the same function that's doing the drawing. Save that for later.
So we have our set of operators, we need one more thing: A way to generate an interesting string of operations that will draw the tree. The way we do that is by defining two things:
- A starting point; an "axiom".
- A rule (or set of rules) that transform a given set of operations into a new set of operations.
We then keep applying these rules to the resultant set of operations (starting with the axiom) as many times as we want. For example:
- Axiom: F
- Rule: F => +FF (this reads as: "Every time you see an 'F', replace it with '+FF'")
Execution example:
|Iteration #
|Current Set of Operations
Feed the final string above into our "pen", and it will draw stuff. Not a tree though; not with that rule. If you want a tree, go with a rule like this:
Wait, what?! Doesn't look anything like a tree, does it? But it turns out that when you apply that rule a few times to the axiom "F", it generates a set of operations that draws something very similar to a tree (depending on what angle you rotate with each +/-).
Check it out:
There is no randomness in this image; it's a direct drawing of the above rule (with 3-4 iterations of the rule), using a fixed distance for F and a fixed angle for +/-. Altering the distance that the pen moves with each F will make a larger/smaller tree; altering the angle can make a profound difference to the shape.
There are different rules that will produce different looking plants. For more examples, see this page.
To me, this is mind-blowing. That such a simple system with such basic rules and operations can generate something that looks so eerily "natural" is a little spooky. And reminds me that I had the same effect with the physics tutorial: Simple rules can make complex behaviour. I think there's some deep philosophical insight buried there.
What's left to do now is take this knowledge and apply it to a Silverlight program that can allow the user to alter the parameters in real-time, introduce some randomness, and maybe a little more life to the image.
Stay tuned...

[Image above] Prototype of Solar Roadways' solar panel road pavers. Credit: Scott Brusaw; YouTube
Looks like the "road to cleaner energy solutions" could be paved with solar panels.
Scott Brusaw, an electrical engineer from Idaho, has believed this for a long time. Brusaw's company, Solar Roadways, has been on a mission since 2014 to replace U.S. roads with solar panels and create a power grid on what is currently nothing but miles and miles of static pavement.
And in June 2014, Solar Roadways' crowdfunding campaign to bring this nationwide drivable power grid raised $2.2 million in just two months—twice as much as Brusaw expected when he launched his dream into collective eco-consciousness. At the time, Forbes reported that Brusaw's was the most popular campaign ever on crowdfunding site Indiegogo, with 48,000 backers from all 50 U.S. states and 165 countries across the globe.
"It's been humbling," Brusaw told Yahoo News in June 2014. "Really, really humbling."
The solar roadway concept clearly struck a nerve with like-minded folks who are on board with clean-energy solutions. Brusaw's fun, seven-minute video produced to drum up interest for the 2014 crowdfunding campaign—aptly titled "Solar FREAKIN' Roadways!"—has been viewed nearly 22 million times to date.
"At the end of this year, we'll have a finished product," Brusaw told Yahoo News in June 2014. "It's not going to happen overnight—there's a learning curve here. Once we're convinced the final product works in a parking lot, we'll try residential roads. Then, eventually, the fast lane of a highway."
And that finished product, according to Brusaw, includes solar panels encased in double-layered, bomb-resistant, bulletproof glass capable of withstanding 250,000 pounds and that would be able to generate three times the electricity currently used in the United States. Plus, it can prevent accidents by melting snow and ice, serve as a receptacle to collect excess storm water, and slash emissions up to 75%.
Two years later, Brusaw's making good on his promises.
Missouri's Department of Transportation plans to install a test version of Solar Roadways' solar road tiles in a sidewalk at the Historic Route 66 welcome center in Conway, Mo., to see if the technology is fit for use on regular streets, according to a recent article in the News Tribune (Jefferson City, Mo.). Local pedestrians can expect to see the solar road tiles put to the test by the end of this year.
The hope is that the solar pavers will power many of the welcome center's electricity needs in the short term—but also lead to new sources of revenue long term.
"Solar roadways can hopefully create new revenue streams," Tom Blair, assistant district engineer in MoDOT's St. Louis area district, tells the News Tribune.
Blair also heads up MoDOT's Road to Tomorrow, an initiative that aims to rebuild U.S. highways in green, sustainable ways.
And solar isn't the only option when it comes to smarter, more sustainable roadways.
Integrated Roadways (Kansas City, Mo.) is pioneering its own "smart concrete" to help build smarter, safer, and connected roads.
What do you think about the future of U.S. roadways and the next-generation clean power grid? Contribute to the discussion in the comments!

'I would like to lead by example with trust and integrity'
After enjoying several years of continued growth, Penn State Hershey is facing challenges it hasn't seen before. Health care reform is changing the industry at a remarkable pace, upending the business model that has helped fund the College of Medicine since its beginning.
A tight funding environment requires its researchers to find new resources to complete cutting-edge basic and health science. In addition to evolving educational models and technology, new curriculum must be developed and implemented to train the next generation of health care providers for a rapidly changing industry.
Leading the campus during a unique time of transition is Dr. A. Craig Hillemeier, named the seventh dean of Penn State College of Medicine, as well as Medical Center and Health System chief executive officer, and senior vice president for health affairs in July. He replaces Dr. Harold Paz, who had led Penn State Hershey since 2006.
Hillemeier is no stranger to the organization. He arrived in October of 2001 to serve as chair of pediatrics and medical director for the Children's Hospital, became vice dean for clinical affairs in 2006 and chief operating officer of the Medical Group at its inception in 2008. Hillemeier also served as interim executive director and chief operating officer of the Medical Center in 2006.
"I really have a good feeling about the role that this organization can play in providing care to central Pennsylvania, educating health care providers, doing good research and providing service to the community," Hillemeier said. "Having been here for 13 years, I'm very passionate about helping this institution succeed in its missions. The opportunity to lead this organization during a time when there are so many challenges in the health care environment is exciting."
A critical priority for Hillemeier is helping the clinical enterprise thrive so that the College of Medicine can continue its important missions.
"The success of our clinical enterprise is essential to supporting our College of Medicine," Hillemeier said. "However, the business model that has been the foundation of so much of our success is threatened with the growing consolidation that is occurring in the market, as well as the changing payment models like population health. Our longtime strategy of caring for small numbers of high-risk patients from across central Pennsylvania is threatened by the creation of health care systems that will inevitably try to manage the care of those patients within their own health systems. So the patients who come to us for care will likely diminish in the absence of any other strategy."
Penn State Hershey is currently proceeding with plans to acquire Reading-based St. Joseph's Regional Health Network and is continuing talks with Harrisburg's PinnacleHealth regarding a new, combined health enterprise. These are just two of the most obvious ways Penn State Hershey is expanding its reach across a broader geography and population base.
Changes in payment models through health care reform make the increase in patient scale imperative. Instead of reimbursement on each measure of care provided, payments will soon be made by how well providers can manage the health of specific populations of patients. It's a dramatic shift in the way providers think about and deliver patient care, with a stronger focus on prevention and team-based care management.
Through the success of the clinical enterprise, the education and research missions will be better supported. Those areas, Hillemeier said, have tremendous opportunity.
"In terms of education, we have the opportunity to continue to evolve our curriculum so that our students become more focused on patient-centered care, safety and quality, and that they learn even more about how to function as a member of the health care team at which the patient is the center.
"I also continue to be extremely impressed by the dedication that our graduate students show towards discovery," he said. "I recently had an opportunity to talk to them at their graduate oath ceremony, which introduces newly-admitted students to the institution. I was very impressed by their commitment to make the world a better place."
In research, the development of the Cancer Institute and the Institute for Personalized Medicine are just two examples of how the mission is advancing in ways never thought possible a decade ago.
These are all opportunities and challenges that Hillemeier believes the staff and faculty are ready to tackle.
"We are really good here at collaborative work," he said. "The campus is really good at figuring out how to use the resources of lots of different people to make projects work whether they are clinical, educational or research projects. That's a real value."
In addition, he believes in the character of the Penn State Hershey workforce.
"I think the people of central Pennsylvania are good-natured people," he said, "They have integrity, respect, honesty and they are people their colleagues can trust."
Change can be stressful, but Hillemeier hopes staff will understand why it's necessary.
"I think it's important that people understand why the change is necessary and that while change can be somewhat anxiety provoking, the absence of change is likely to lead to our inability to continue to be successful in our missions," he said. "So we should be focusing on how best to allow the workforce, the faculty and the staff here, to best adjust to accommodate that change and to make that change as successful as possible."
In leading the organization through this dynamic period, Hillemeier would like to be known as a dean who is a straight-talker and encourages a culture of mutual respect.
"I would like to be known as a person who led by example and inspired people to realize the greatest potential out of the resources they have," he said. "I would like to lead by example with trust and integrity. I want people to know that I'm being transparent and very straight forward in what I think is the right agenda for this institution during this time of challenge. I want people to feel they can believe what I say and that their opinions will be treated respectfully."
"I think it is very important to have a strong sense of values to make decisions," he continued. "These values, such as truth, honesty, integrity and trust, are the guideposts by which you make any decision. If you make a decision that is consistent with these values, then you will not have a reason to regret it."
Since entering the role, Hillemeier has been updating employees through campus-wide emails and a number of town hall meetings.
"Communication to an organization this large is not easy and the guideline I go by is that you can never communicate too much," he said. "Since everyone gets their information in different sources it requires a real effort to make sure we keep all members of the organization up to date. "
Hillemeier graduated from Loyola University Medical School, where he also completed his residency in pediatrics. He completed his fellowship in pediatric gastroenterology at Yale New Haven Medical Center and was a member of the faculty at Brown University between 1982 and 1988. Hillemeier served as division chief of pediatric gastroenterology at University of Michigan Health System and later as associate chair in pediatrics from 1988 to 2001. He is also immediate past chair of the board of directors for the American Board of Pediatrics.
His wife, Marianne, is head of the Department of Health Policy and Administration (HPA) at Penn State. His son, Tom, is a chemical engineer for Mondelez and his daughter, Mary, works for a community-supported agriculture business.

Anna Pops' adorable lookbook initially captured my attention through the power of Instagram. Immediately I was taken in by their stunning use of colours that highlights the detailing in their shoes beautifully.I got in touch with Anna Pops' founder Tina to learn more….
Tell us how Anna Pops was born?
The concept is born from the desire to let our daughters (Fauve and Lois) shine and the Mom's fascination for original shoes. our target is to present a collection of colourful, original and qualitative shoes. Environmental friendliness of the material and the craft manufacturing guarantee quality footwear. All our kids shoes are made in little factories in Italy, France, Spain and Portugal.
The colorways you use are stunning, these Gallucci boots are my firm favourite, would it be fair to say many of your styles are quite androgynous?, is this a conscious decision to make your shoes more gender neutral?
We were a little bit bored that boys only get brown, blue and green…why not choose a boys style with some charisma. Charisma you can find in the leather, the models and of course the colours. We search for pure and honest style. it's true that we sell alot of our models to both boys and girls.
You share an insight into the Studio's of Anna Pops through your website, it's fascinating to see the journey your shoes make, how do you decide how to customise a style to reach the end product? Where do you find your inspiration?
Each collection is the result of an intensive search for specific colours and materials. We focus on this unique vision with designers and artisans in Belgium and abraod. We like Belgian kids brands like Morley, Simple Kids and American Outfitters,…and International brands such as Mini Rodini, Bonnet a Pompon and Bobo Choses.We are on the road a lot attending international fairs like Playtime in Paris to feel the materials and meet designers and producers. Where we met the owner of the brand English Biography. For the first time we have a shoe uniquely created for us.
That's what make us proud.Cities like Paris or London but also Ghent and Antwerp are a source of inspiration… not only the fashion but also the use of colours in buildings, the way of presenting food at a bistro, or old books on a market triggers our mind.At home we let the world come to us with Pinterest and Instagram.Each season of a shoes collection is an intensive journey, with long nights and a lot of coffee…. but at the end we are proud when we see happy kids with our refined shoes.
What's next for Anna Pops?
Making less compromises! Go for what we feel……and even more personalizing our shoes. Going for the Pops touch!

Nadya Suleman–the world famous Angelina-looking octomom who popped out eight implanted embryos, making a lifetime total of 14–now finds herself pregnant with possibility. She just got offered "a deal of up to one million dollars plus a year of health insurance for her family" by Vivid Entertainment if she'll simply do a porn flick with them. There's just one problem–the woman doesn't have sex! The release, after the jump.
LOS ANGELES ˆ (February 25, 2009) – Nadya Suleman, the controversial mom who made history after giving birth to octuplets, is being offered a deal of up to $1 million plus a year of health insurance for her family to make a movie with Vivid Entertainment
"Nadya obviously needs income to assure that her children are secure so we are offering her up to $1 million to act in one movie," said Steven Hirsch co-chairman of Vivid. "We've had many single mothers work with us over the years and their income from Vivid has been very important to them. We would schedule production so that the movie could be shot in less than one week."
According to recent reports Nadya's PR agency has stopped representing her, a book agent decided not to handle her story and she's being derided by ordinary citizens who say that taxpayers will wind up paying her hospital tab and future expenses.
"There is a tremendous amount of interest in Nadya and we can help her capitalize on that interest and put some real cash in her bank account," said Mr. Hirsch. As with our Vivid Girls, she would have her choice of partners, including 'Octodad.'"
Mr. Hirsch said a movie staring Nadya would be distributed under the Vivid-Celeb imprint. Vivid-Celeb has released titles starring Pamela Anderson, Kim Kardashian and most recently, former Miss USA Kelli McCarty, who chose the studio to make her transition from NBC daytime star to hardcore porn star with "Faithless," which has become a top seller since its debut on February 4th.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of returning to Tianjin to attend a wedding.
The wedding was great, and included everything you wouldn't expect, from a caravan of red cars to the Imperial March.
Red is a lucky color in China, so it was definitely a "red letter day." The families had contracted with a service to drive us from Beijing to Tianjin (about a 90 minute jaunt) in a line of red cars.
The drivers were a ton of fun — to kill time they cooperated to repeatedly cut-off a car which had cut us off
And using the CB radios to communicate in…. unorthodox ways
The ceremony itself was quite nice, and one of the fellow guests mentioned that Chinese weddings are increasingly emphasized by their western counterpart. The exclusive use of American music (with Celine Dion at a particularly important part) was notable, though I've never heard the Star Wars Imperial March used as a wedding march before.
The wedding reception was held in the same building as the couple's new apartment, which they proudly showed off. This was the highlight of the day: their freakin' sweet HDTV.
A great day! We were driven back to Xizhimen on a chartered bus
And then took a taxi back. The weather was beautiful, and the sky was clear.
Thanks for the wonderful day!
