Post your top 5 N-grams here!
Hello TEDsters,
the N-grams are definitely a lot of fun and I have noticed that quite a few have already been posted in the talk's own thread. In order to avoid that thread becoming too confusing and in order to give this some structure I thought I'd start a conversation for you to post the N-grams you find most informative, interesting, funny etc.
I have "limited" the ammount to 5 in order to "force" you to only post the best. :)
Looking forward to some cool N-grams and even more than this to interesting discussions about the meaning hidden behind them.

Sep 22 2011: beethoven,wagner,mozart,chopin
I find it fun to guess the graph before actually taking a look...
did you guess right? (the spike in 1746 isn't talking about our Fred, though)
Sep 22 2011: I definitely wouldn't have guessed that. :)
And I like how Bach dwarfs the others: http://ngrams.googlelabs.com/graph?content=beethoven%2Cwagner%2Cmozart%2Cchopin%2C+bach&year_start=1600&year_end=2008&corpus=0&smoothing=10
(might be related to the use of capitals and general occurrences of the surnames so I added first names here and left out Richard Wagner because I think it's a quite often used name in general: http://ngrams.googlelabs.com/graph?content=Ludwig+van+Beethoven%2CWolfgang+Amadeus+Mozart%2CFr%C3%A9d%C3%A9ric+Chopin%2CJohann+Sebastian+Bach&year_start=1600&year_end=2008&corpus=0&smoothing=10
this gives a whole different view!
Feisal KamilSep 22 2011: that last one was definitely more accurate, but Frederic typed without the accented e's yielded better results for Chopin
Sep 22 2011: this may devolve into a sort of a Celebrity Death Match :O
Elvis, Michael Jackson and Madonna.
(unfair fight, I bet Madonna had divine help - but there's no doubt who's King)
Debra Smith 200+
Sep 22 2011: Leaving out Madonna due to the divine intervention, it is fun to see how the pop-kings take over the classics-king. :)
(might the classics-king make a come-back in the coming decennia... Who knows...? What a cliffhanger! )
In the mean time I keep wondering why Aristotle was ignored in the 18th century:
And what created the common interest in Newton and Julius Ceasar in the early 19th century, and more curiously, why did the interest in Newton decline after the 1850's while Julius Ceasar in the same period actually gained in interest? http://ngrams.googlelabs.com/graph?content=Isaac+Newton%2C+Julius+Caesar&year_start=1600&year_end=2008&corpus=0&smoothing=10
(This is a lot of fun!! :) )
Sep 22 2011: Debra, it's loads of fun to do :)
so here's Lennon & McCartney - http://goo.gl/z07lj
surprisingly there's no spike around 1980 or so in Lennon's chart
Sep 22 2011: There actualy is a spike in the Lennon chart from 1980 - 1985 (or 1986), but you have set the smoothing to 10 years so you don't notice it.
smoothing set to 0
with smoothing at 2 it's even more apparent
Sep 22 2011: well, I can't explain the seemingly synergistic peak - perhaps a concerted effort at printing a whole raft of books happened in the early 1800s
but I would guess that Caesar enjoyed longevity because of the Shakespeare play (from 1599, but I bet it keeps getting reprinted, reenacted, reviewed ad infinitum) and not because of anyone's continuing interest in Roman History ;)
On the other hand, Newton probably suffered after 1916 because of Einstein's General Relativity got more print
I wish I'd paid more attention to History in school haha. Perhaps if it was as interesting as this...

The Blueboard is now back up and ready for operation. Thank you for your patience! We applied an important language patch to eliminate the strange punctuation problems we've been having with many posts - especially when cutting and pasting. Most problems occurred when pasting "smart quotes" from MS Word into a post. The quotes were converted to question marks. That will now no longer happen with *new* posts.

|Roasted Sweet Potato Salad
( see yesterday's post )
Today I have another choice for Monday's installment.
- Raw collard salad with apples, raisins and Mustard Flax Vinaigrette or
- Sauted Collards, apples and Raisins
I am using toasted sesame seeds ( buy the seeds in bulk and toast them yourself ) instead of more expensive pecans or walnuts. I like to think outside of the box a little bit when it comes to flavors, so even though these aren't totally traditional Thanksgiving notes, they will compliment the rest of a more standard holiday meal.
Roasted Sweet Potato Salad
2 large sweet potatoes, cubed
2 T olive oil
½ t Tony's Cajun Seasoning
1 c dried cranberries
1 T candied ginger, chopped
½ c toasted sesame seeds
¼ c scallions
2 T olive oil
2 T balsamic vinegar
1 c fresh parsley
Salt/pepper to taste
Pre-heat oven to 400.
Prep sweet potatoes, toss with 2 T oil and Tony's. Spread in a single layer on a sheet pan and roast for 25 - 30 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, toss with the rest of the ingredients. Taste and adjust seasoning to your liking.
1 C Nutritional Yeast
Happy Frugal Vegan Cooking!

Definition of basic oxygen process in English:
basic oxygen processLine breaks: basic oxy¦gen pro|cess
A steel-making process in which a jet of oxygen is delivered by a lance on to a molten mixture of pig iron and scrap steel in a retort lined with a basic refractory. Excess carbon is burnt away, producing enough heat to keep the iron molten, and the oxidized impurities are removed as gases or slag.
More example sentences
- Among the primary steel melting processes are the electric arc furnace and the basic oxygen process.
- The basic oxygen process is the most common process for producing steel.
- This gave way mid-century to the basic oxygen process, which used pure oxygen instead of air, cutting the process time from all day to just a few hours.

News Release
Sergeant Michael B. Webb
Kentucky State Police
Public Affairs Branch
Office (502) 782-1780
Detective Dan J. Smoot
KSP Announce Trooper of the Year Award
and Other Awards & Honors
(Richmond, KY) - Kentucky State Police Commissioner Patrick N. Simpson announced the winner of the Trooper of the Year Award at a special ceremony held today at the Hyatt Regency in Lexington. He also recognized 45 other troopers, 14 private citizens and one local law enforcement officer for acts of meritorious service and achievement, valor, bravery, life-saving acts, professionalism and dedication to duty.
"These individuals have distinguished themselves by actions that significantly contributed to the success of major Kentucky State Police endeavors," said Simpson. "It´s a great pleasure to be able to honor their efforts through public recognition in this manner. On behalf of the agency, I express sincere gratitude to all for a job well done."
Simpson named Detective Dan J. Smoot from KSP Post 13 in Hazard as Trooper of the Year for 2002. A resident of Jackson, KY, Smoot is a 20-year veteran of the Kentucky State Police. He is a graduate of Beechwood High School in Fort Mitchell and has served at the KSP Hazard post since 1983.
During the first half of 2002, Smoot was assigned to the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program and averaged 87 citations per month while answering numerous complaints, investigating traffic crashes and performing a variety of other patrol duties. During the second six months of 2002, he was reassigned to drug investigations where he handled 137 criminal investigations, averaging 23 cases per month which resulted in 97 criminal arrests. His efforts have generated forfeitures of more than one million dollars through federal and state cooperative investigations.
"Detective Smoot has made a monumental impact on the drug trafficking problem in his region," Simpson said. "His dedication, knowledge and leadership in drug investigations is unsurpassed within this department. His investigations have resulted in arrests and convictions which have lead to long state and federal prison sentences for mid and high-level drug dealers."
"Combined with his active participation in school and community events in his post area, Det. Smoot, through actions and example, is a symbol of what a Kentucky State Trooper should be and displays all of the characteristics to which all Kentucky State Troopers should strive," Simpson added.
Sgt. Eric Walker and Trooper George Bell of KSP Post 1 in Mayfield received Citations for Bravery, an honor bestowed on officers of the agency who perform acts of bravery, without regard for personal risk, of clear and obvious peril and clearly above and beyond the call or risk of ordinary duty.

Fun Facts Gleaned from Agrium's Sell-Side Event
Daniel is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Despite the growing stock price, Agrium (NYSE: AGU) felt the need to take a "deep-dive" into the business on January 28, 2013.
Punchy words like "switch a roo" and "midnight comparables" seem to have found their mark on Agrium's CEO Michael M. Wilson. Roughly 10% of their presentation was spent punching-back against activist investor JANA Partners LLC.
Extensive JANA justification stole the show— but it's unclear as to whether it spread insecticide or fertilizer on the situation? Unfortunately, Teddy Atlas was not in attendance to judge the bout.
The Fun Facts:
Potential Revenue per Service Area…
*assuming $300 per acre
a) 15 Mile Radius… 450,000 Acres (80% tillable) = $108 million
b) 25 Mile Radius… 1,250,000 Acres (80% tillable) = $300 million
Farmer revenue must be reinvested into chemicals, fertilizers, and seed. As farmers grow, Agrium must grow right along with them. It's a people business— farmers place a great deal of faith and confidence in the recommendations of their local professionals.
Agrium would argue that they are an integral part of the farm's operation and their relations with farmers run deeper than you would expect from an ordinary supply house.
The Starbucks of Plant Nutrients
Re: 9 locations in Indiana within ten miles (some say that's too many).
Management compares it to Starbucks' locations in Time Square… it's not necessarily good or bad. Perhaps in some regions you will always need a lot of locations, "if you're not nearby, you don't get the business."
Agrium retail does NOT sell manure spreaders!
Tractor Supply Company is not one of Agrium's competitors; so if you didn't know now you know. Agrium addressed the slight confusion during the show… apparently one of the analysts (who remained nameless to preserve their dignity) was surprised that a member of Agrium's management team was shopping at Tractor Supply for a manure spreader.
The presenter cut through the crap by showing pictures of what actually is at Agrium's farm centers: storage areas, liquid chemicals, fertilizers, and seeds. In addition, a fleet of 2,800 applicators are utilized to transport products to where they are needed.
Therefore, if you are searching for rakes, animal feed, outdoor clothing, or manure spreaders make sure you go to Tractor Supply Company—because you won't find them at Agrium's farm centers.
Spring can come at any time; suppliers must have product in place.
Agrium's team is hopeful that spring is March 1 – May 15 this year. The retail network structure to make it happen looks like this:
(4) Formulation Plants
(18) Distribution Centers
(40) Terminals
(640) Farm Center / Branches
(216) Satellites
Fun Facts Rapid Fire:
Cooperatives still control nearly 40% of the entire market.
Agrium is the only agricultural retailer handling barge loads of ammonia.
Each of Agrium's 7 regional territories in North America average $1.29 billion in revenue.
There is a lot of money to be made by not wasting expensive nutrients. Agrium has the people and technology to advise the farmer on what seeds, chemicals, and fertilizers to use— and precisely where to use them.
Agrium has closed 20% of US farm centers and 255 worldwide over the past seven years. While this is not a fun decision, when done right, they keep a majority of the business and synergies are realized right away.
Revenue per Facility = $5.3 million (2007) versus $13.8 million (2012)
EBITDA per facility = $450,000 (2007) versus $1,277,000 (2012)
Loveland private label products have double the margins of 3rd party sales.
Dyna-Gro seed platform is one of their largest opportunities for growth, between 2006 and 2012 the CAGR was 38%, the market size is approximately $13 billion.
Bowman vs. Monsanto
The Supreme Court began hearing arguments on February 19.
410 farmers have already lost patent infringement suits brought by Monsanto Company (NYSE: MON); Vernon Hugh Bowman is expected to be number 411.
-"All through history we have always been allowed to go to an elevator and buy commodity grain and plant it," he said in an interview.
Thus far, the courts have not agreed, Monsanto has received $23.67 million in recorded judgments. In the US, it's estimated that 93% of soybeans and 86% of corn crops are grown from genetically modified seeds. Monsanto, Syngenta, and DuPont control approximately 53% of the seed industry and they won't give it up easily— not to farmers, not to Dyna-Gro, not to anyone.
A verdict in favor of the farmer, though highly unlikely, would have implications on the medical and bio fuels sector as well.
In the 52 page report: "Seed Giants vs. US Farmers"… the Center for Food Safety shares their thoughts.
The USDA expects farm-income in 2013 to be the highest in 40 years. Will farmers use proceeds to keep fighting the likes of Monsanto? Or will they give in? Further solidifying the stronghold Seed Giants have on the market.

B&B Automobiltechnik is a German tuner that specializes on German vehicles . So it was really surprising that for their latest program, they decided to take on a British SUV in the form of the Range Rover Evoque.
Really, if you've seen their past programs, having a British SUV on that list feels a little out of place. But to their credit, they were able to build a program that boasts of impressive improvements on the Evoque's multitude of engine options.
The base model, which carries a 2.2-liter turbo diesel ED4 or TD4 engine, B&B was able to use its Stage 1 performance kit to increase the SUV's output from the standard 148 horsepower and 280 lb/ft of torque all the way up 177 horsepower and 332 lb/ft of torque. If the Stage 1 program isn't enough for you, the German tuner also has a Stage 2 kit, which boasts output even further, hitting 197 horsepower and 350 lb/ft of torque.
From there, B&B turned its attention on the 2.2-liter SD4 diesel engine. Just like the base model, this engine trim is treated to two performance programs, Level 1 package that boasts the output from 188 horsepower all the way up to 227 horsepower and 354 lb/ft of torque while the Level 2 package hits all the right notes to 241 horsepower and 369 lb/ft of torque.
Finally, there's the top-of-the-line 2.2-liter turbocharged engine that already comes with 240 horsepower in production guise. But thanks to B&B and its Stage 1 kit, that output hits 268 horsepower while the Stage 2 kit bumps it up even further to 282 horsepower. And finally, there's also a Stage 3 kit that gives the Evoque 295 horsepower. This program, in particular, nets the SUV a new 0-62 mph time of just 6.5 seconds with a faster top speed of 143 mph.
Calling it like we see it, B&B Automobiltechnik managed to give Evoque owners not only variety, but impressive aftermarket engine improvements.

Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland review
The eleventh entry in Gust's niche alchemy franchise is also the first to be released for the PlayStation 3, utilizing 3D graphics in place of the series' traditional 2D sprites. A direct sequel was released in Japan earlier this year, but I guess the Western publisher has been too busy not dubbing cinematics to keep up. That's not to say that The Alchemist of Arland hasn't been given star... Read More

Two months ago and in a similar situation, the Washington Capitals might have lost Friday night's game. Down 1-0 headed into the third period against the Carolina Hurricanes, the slim lead may have been an insurmountable one against Cam Ward and the Carolina defense.
But this Caps team is a much different team than it was two months ago.
Friday night, they battled back behind goals by Alex Ovechkin and Matt Hendricks to beat the Hurricanes 2-1, extending their current winning streak to seven, the longest of the season.
The win wasn't pretty – Washington was out-shot 41 to 26 – but another superb effort from rookie goalie Braden Holtby and some great penalty killing put the Caps in a position to take two points from the Hurricanes. While it was another stressful one-goal game, head coach Bruce Boudreau has confidence in his team's ability to battle back, even when they've struggled this year.
"I've always been confident in one-goal games, I've always thought we were going to catch up, I always thought we were going to keep the lead," Boudreau said. "I've never once in four years thought, 'Uh oh, there's no way we can keep this lead.'"
The biggest reason they were even in a position to take – and keep – the lead was because of Holtby's play. The rookie goaltender had 40 saves and made several big saves on the penalty kill, which shut out Carolina power play.
"He's [Braden Holtby] making it tough," Boudreau said. "Three really good goalies and he obviously doesn't want to leave the net. He's obviously doing a good job."
His only blemish came with 35 seconds left in the 2nd period, when Hurricanes forward Tuomo Ruutu fired a shot past a screened Holtby while on an odd-man break. With the momentum clearly in Carolina's favor, the Caps headed to the locker room down a goal.
But 47 seconds into the third period, the ice began to tilt Washington's way. Alex Ovechkin took a drop pass from Marcus Johansson at the top of the circles and fired a rocket past Ward to tie the game at one as Verizon Center erupted.
"It was an important goal for us," Ovechkin said. "It was kind of a good shot and it was the end of the shift and I just try to shoot the puck and go change."
With momentum now in Washington's favor, the two teams traded chances until Jason Arnott broke free on Ward seven minutes later. Ward made a great save on Arnott but Hendricks, trailing the play, swooped in and knocked in the rebound past Ward.
"If there was going to be a rebound, I wanted to be the one to get it," Hendricks said. "I just wanted to try to get it over his pad."
Added Boudreau: "That's what he [Matt Hendricks] does. He is going to get those dirty goals, in the crease. He's not going to get those end-to-end goals. I think it was his first one in 16 games or something, so [I'm] happy for him because he works really hard all the time and he deserves some success offensively."
Hendricks' goal gave the Caps a lead and Holtby continued to his stellar play of the last week, making his case to be the team's go-to goaltender going forward into the postseason.
"You always want to be the guy that plays in the playoffs" Holtby said. "I want to play every game like I'm going to be sent down [to Hershey] the next day."
While Holtby and the Caps' defense – which Boudreau thinks doesn't get enough credit – kept the Hurricnes out of the goal the rest of the game, the coach wasn't entirely happy with his team's play and thought they were a little bit lucky.
"I didn't think we were very sharp," he said. "They had 40 shots on goal. I think they were carrying the play [and] they were beating us to the puck. We made the plays in the third period that we needed to win, and that was it."
Lucky or not, the Capitals emerged from the game with two points in a hard-fought, physical game that required everyone on the team to give a full effort. Its games like these that the team can use to learn from when it comes playoff time – something that has been lacking the last few seasons.
"It's kind of become a little bit of a character builder for us this year," Hendricks said. "Looking back over the past few years, [in] Washington there hasn't been a whole lot of adversity and guys are really coming out and playing and fighting to the end of the game and pulling out those one-goal games. It's a lot like playoff hockey right now."

Children 'tech-savvy' by age nine
On average, children are given permission to make mobile phone calls aged eight years and five months old, a poll found
Britain's youngsters are being given permission to surf the internet unsupervised and make mobile phone calls before they are allowed to travel to school alone, a survey suggests.
The poll reveals that today's children are technologically savvy by the time they are nine years old.
On average, youngsters are allowed to make mobile phone calls at eight years and five months old, according to the June poll of 1,005 parents of children aged under 16.
They use the internet without adult supervision when they are nine years and one month old, sending their first email at the same age.
A month later is when children send their first text message, while the average age when they first had their own email address was nine years and seven months.
This is the same as the average age when children are allowed to travel to school on their own, according to the poll by the ESET UK security firm. It also reveals that children are nine years and eight months old when they first own a mobile phone, and open a social network account at 10 years and eight months.
And youngsters are likely to have a TV in their room when they are six years and eight months old - two months before they learn to do joined-up handwriting.
At the same time, two thirds (68%) of the parents questioned said that children today are exposed to technology too early, and three in four said that they worry that their children are at risk when they are online.
ESET UK security expert Quinton Watts said parents need to make online safety a top priority. "Many parents think their child is safe if they are in the family home, but if they're online - especially if they're unsupervised or on a computer in their bedroom - then they are exposed to threats just as severe and real as those in the real world," he said.
"Our research shows just how fast children are growing up in our technology-saturated world. They are now used to having access to everything at the click of a button, even at a very young age, before they've gone through some of the rites of passage moments we remember from our own childhood."

There's nothing quite like a verb! Verbs represent action and movement; they are about doing. Even more important, they allow you to see yourself doing.
We've talked extensively about how you must connect your customers to an emotional reality in which they can see themselves enjoying the benefits of what you have to offer, and in which they can see themselves taking the action you want them to take.
None of us takes action until we can grab on to a mental image of the consequences of taking that action. The fastest verbal way to tap into the emotional, imaginative abilities of our right brains is through verbs. No doubt about it ... verbs can be your most powerful persuasive allies.
The author Joseph E. Wright writes,
Verbs are great words. They enable us to describe actions or states of being or feelings we'd be hard pressed to convey without them. ... Still, if verbs are indispensable in our speech and in our writing, why do we neglect them so? ... You can blame it on the nouns and adjectives. ... Adjectives we can sometimes live without, but for the most part we have been brainwashed ... to use adjectives. As writers, we use them extensively, carefully choosing, then eliminating, then choosing again, until we feel we have the perfect adjectives to describe our protagonist, our settings, our emotions. I suspect much of your time as a writer is devoted to being so very particular in the adjectives you use.
Adjectives don't really help us create compelling, persuasive mental images. They can suggest a state of being, but their function ultimately 'tells' us more than it 'shows' us. You can tell me about a mango: it is luscious and delicious and juicy. Or you can show me a mango: the juice escapes and drizzles down your chin; your tongue explores the complex taste; the flesh caresses your mouth.
My buddy Anthony Garcia describes the difference between adjectives and verbs as "the difference between a paint roller and an artist's brush - adjectives good for painting the walls, good for background, but verbs solidify an image in a person's minds."
Verbs do more that injection action and presence into your writing. They can also define the quality of that action.
He looked at the woman.
His eyes pierced the woman.
His eyes undressed the woman.
His eyes contemplated the woman.
See how different a look can be? See how a verb can communicate more than a common action?
Why use 'walk' when I might amble, trudge, toddle, pace, stroll or mince? I could "walk with difficulty." But that communicates less information than if I said I "staggered" or "hobbled" or "limped." These words draw you not only into the circumstance, but also the emotional dimension of my walk.
Why use 'make' when, depending on the situation, I could fashion, craft, beget, construct, create, knock out, whip up, forge or arrange?
One of the most important uses for verbs in online writing is in hyperlinks. Verbs are the essence of your calls to action (as opposed to your points of resolution).
When you pair an imperative verb with a meaningful implied benefit, you help maintain persuasive momentum. NEVER (yep, that's a shout) settle for the useless and hackneyed "Click Here" when you could offer encouragement like "Read the whole article" or "See our diamond settings" or "Locate the store nearest you."
Don't just hope folks will click. Use your verbs and give them a reason to click!

Which of these product descriptions has you imagining the experience of a joystick in your hands?
More than any other online copy, product descriptions suffer from an over-reliance on adjectives. Too much telling about the product rather than showing how it can be used. At the moment your customer has navigated your system and found a product, you need to set the hook and start reeling with your verbs.
Instead of droning that your backpack is lightweight, you could instead convey the same fact and put the customer in the picture by writing, "Fling it onto your back. You'll barely notice it's there! And your shoulders will thank you."
Instead of saying your Indispensable Little Black Dress is wrinkle-free, fuss-free and takes up no space whatsoever, say, "Crumple it in a ball and stuff it in a corner of your suitcase. Slip it on at a moment's notice to amble through the market or promenade at the opera."
Fear not the noble, mighty verb. Start making it the focus of your copy, bask in its utter glory!
And while you are thinking about re-verbilizing your copy, think about joining us at our next Persuasive Online Copywriting Workshop, July 10-11, 2006, for our unique perspective on writing that truly earns its keep!

A&A doi http://dx.doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/200912983
The Planck mission was conceived in 1992, in the wake of the release of the results from the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) satellite (Boggess et al. 1992), notably the measurement by the FIRAS instrument of the shape of the spectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), and the detection by the DMR instrument of the spatial anisotropies of the temperature of the CMB. The latter result in particular led to an explosion in the number of ground-based and suborbital experiments dedicated to mapping of the anisotropies, and to proposals for space experiments both in Europe and the USA.

The #2 Alabama Crimson Tide opened up their title defense as they annihilated the #8 Michigan Wolverines in a season-opening 41-14 victory Saturday night. The crowd of 90,413 was the largest ever for a college game at Cowboys Stadium. The Tide rushed for 231 yards, including 111 yards on 11 carries by freshman back T.J. Yeldon. Tide junior QB A.J. McCarron tossed in 200 yards and a pair of touchdowns as the Tide jumped out to a 31-0 lead and never looked back.
Buccaneers RB LeGarrette Blount could be on the trading block. They signed former Giants RB D.J. Ware Saturday, making Blount expendable with rookie RB Doug Martin set to receive the majority of carries already.
Jags RB Maurice Jones-Drew will be ending his holdout and report to the team today and will likely be ready to play in the teams' week 1 opener.
Seahawks TE Anthony McCoy's improvement contributed to Kellen Winslow's release, along with the team signing TE Evan Moore, formerly of the Browns.
As Browns RB Trent Richardson recovers from his knee scope, he is likely to be used in a limited capacity and get very few carries in Week 1 against the Eagles if he is able to practice this week and take the field for opening day.
The Chargers offensive line continues to be injury-plagued, and undrafted rookie Mike Harris will start at left tackle for the team early in the season. They've already ruled out LT Jared Gaither for Week 1 against the Raiders with a lower back injury.

They may have eloped in Mexico and had a lavish Hollywood ceremony in front of "The Hills" cameras, but Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt have finally said "I do" for their first "real" wedding, and ETonline Senior Editor Nicole Dabeau was exclusively there for their romantic nuptials.
Reality TV's most polarizing couple renewed their vows just before sunset late Sunday afternoon at a beachfront house in Carpinteria, Calif.
"[This time] it's just me and my bride on a little secret beach with nobody else, and it's just about her," Spencer says. "Versus last time, it was about everything else: It was about drama; it was about ratings."
Heidi adds, "It was about everyone but us, so this is really our first wedding about Spencer and I and our love. Now I feel like I can finally just be Heidi and just be in a marriage and just be a person. I'm just really enjoying every day."
The couple, who have gone public about being broke, had their dream wedding donated to them. Everything from Heidi's Jenny Yoo gown, which she picked out with the help of wedding stylist Anya Sarre, to Spencer's Rik Ducar tuxedo, to their four-tier, multiflavored cake decorated with white chocolate seashells from Hansen's Cakes, and rings from Alan Friedman. They received a 50 percent discount on their flowers from Sky Flowers.
For more on Heidi and Spencer's nuptials, keep checking back to ETonline as we roll out more wedding videos throughout the week.

Thursday November 20, 2003
Mayor Jerry Abramson announced today that Dr. Bill Foster, Director of the Louisville Zoo, will retire from Louisville Metro Government at the end of the year. Foster will move to Birmingham, Alabama, where he has accepted a job as Chief Executive Officer of the Birmingham Zoo.
"I love Louisville and the Zoo," Foster said. "I've spent 27 incredibly rewarding years here. The job in Birmingham offers exciting new opportunities for growth, and at this stage in my career I'm invigorated by the idea of new challenges."
He went on to say, "The Louisville Zoo has tremendous community support, a committed board and an incredibly talented staff. I know that the people I've worked with will not miss a beat in taking the Louisville Zoo to the next step."
Abramson named John Walczak, the Zoo's Assistant Director, as Interim Director effective
Jan. 1, 2004. He will assume responsibility for zoo operations during the search for a new director. Walczak arrived in Louisville in 1985 having been hired as the curator of ectotherms and project manager for the design and construction of the HerpAquarium Exhibit. In 1990 he took over as the Zoo's general curator, managing construction projects and providing oversight for the animal collection. He was appointed Assistant Director in 1992 and has served in that role up until this time. "Dr. Foster is a hard act to follow," Walczak said. "But there are some exciting projects and challenges coming up at the Zoo and I'm looking forward to them and to helping ensure the Zoo's continued growth and popularity."
Abramson, who appointed Foster as Acting Director of the Louisville Zoo in 1988 and as Executive Director in 1989, praised Foster's leadership in transforming the zoo. "Under Bill's direction, the Louisville Zoo has become one of the most outstanding zoos in America," Abramson said. "Birmingham is fortunate to get a leader of his caliber."
As Zoo Director, Foster has been responsible for the implementation of the Zoo's Master Plan, which includes the creation of major exhibits like the HerpAquarium (1989), The Islands Exhibit (1996-97) and the recently opened $15 million Gorilla Forest. The gorilla exhibit won the national AZA Top Exhibit Award for 2003.
During his tenure the Zoo's self-generated revenue has risen from $600,000 to $10.2 million and annual attendance has exceeded 800,000. Foster began his professional veterinary career at the Louisville Zoo 27 years ago. At the time, very few zoos employed full-time veterinarians. During his years as zoo veterinarian, he was responsible for pioneering work in equine reproductive techniques. He successfully transferred the embryo of a Grant's zebra into a quarter horse mare that carried the foal full term.

An immune inspired Network Intrusion Detection System utilising correlation
Tedesco, Gianni and Aickelin, Uwe (2006) An immune inspired Network Intrusion Detection System utilising correlation. In: AISB '06: adaptation in artificial and biological systems. Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and the Simulation of Behaviour, Bristol, pp. 16-17. ISBN 1902956975
Official URL: http://www.aisb.org.uk/publications/proceedings/aisb06/AISB06_vol1.pdf
Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) are computer systems which monitor a network with the aim of discerning malicious from benign activity on that network. While a wide range of approaches have met varying levels of success, most IDSs rely on having access to a database of known attack signatures which are written by security experts. Nowadays, in order to solve problems with false positive alerts, correlation algorithms are used to add additional structure to sequences of IDS alerts. However, such techniques are of no help in discovering novel attacks or variations of known attacks, something the human immune system (HIS) is capable of doing in its own specialised domain. This paper presents a novel immune algorithm for application to the IDS problem. The goal is to discover packets containing novel variations of attacks covered by an existing signature base.

Hung 11: Just the Tip
Duration :
Summary: (Season Two premiere) Ray's new co-partnership with Tanya and Lenore starts inauspiciously when he holds back during a tryst with a pregnant client named Claire, so he turns to Tanya for some advice. Later, Ray and other teachers picket the school in anticipation of summer layoffs. Jessica, already filled with doubts about her marriage to Ronnie and refusing to take calls from Lenore after her experience with the no-show gigolo (Ray), is stung by criticism from Darby and Damon. Looking to get an edge on Lenore and win back Ray's trust, Tanya ventures into a tough neighborhood for some liberating pimping advice from a real pro. (TVMA) (AC,AL,N)

Do you provide care to your loved one with Parkinson's?
Do you find it hard to get away, run errands or meet up with friends?
Are you worried when you have to leave your loved one for even 10 to 15 minutes?
If you answered yes to the above questions, our In-Home Respite Program might be right for you.
How does the program work?
Through this program, your family may be eligible to receive up to six hours of subsidized respite care per week. By subsidized, we mean that The Parkinson's Association will pay for a portion of that care. Non-medical respite care can cost up to $25 an hour. Once you are enrolled in the program, respite care will cost you $6 – $13 per hour depending on your level of income; The Parkinson's Association will pay the balance.
How do I know if I'm eligible?
To be eligible, you must have access to less than $62,900 per year as an individual or $71,900 per year as a family. (This is 120% of the HUD moderate income level.) Income verification will be requested to determine eligibility and your share of cost ($6 – $13 per hour).
If you have questions about this program or eligibility, please contact Elizabeth Bhuta at 858-273-6763 or by email firstname.lastname@example.com

I know I said I'd write the news again and I know I super didn't write the news yesterday but just to be clear I did write it Sunday night and then accidentally hit the back button before saving my post. So technically I did write it, just no one saw it. It was my funniest ever. A lot funnier than today's. Sorry folks.
For those of you who don't subscribe to Showtime or don't know how to illegally download TV shows off the internet like most of America you'll be excited to know that "Dexter" is finally coming to Netflix streaming on October 31st. Well to be more accurate seasons 1 through 5 will be coming to Netflix on the 31st and the rest of the seasons will hit on January 1st. So come January 2nd there will be a whole new crop of people complaining about how the show ended. Happy holidays.
I never remember what movies Neill Blomkamp has made but I do remember always thinking his name sounds like one of those insane sexual acts that no one ever really does but people seem to all know about. What a dirty dirty man. And apparently Sigourney Weaver is a dirty girl because she's signed on to his next film titled "Chappie". No word on what role she'll play but the film is about a robot with mad crazy artificial intelligence skills who gets kidnapped by a couple of gangsters. Kind of like "Short Circuit" but without all of the comedy and an Italian guy doing a terrible Indian accent.
Last week I broke the exclusive news that Clive Barker would be personally writing the script for the upcoming "Hellraiser" remake. I know, I was kind of shocked when he chose me to be the one person he told. Of course he also asked me not to tell anyone else and now we're fighting but it was kind of worth it ya know? Plus, that guy loves an Edible Arrangement so I'm pretty sure I can make it up to him pretty easily. The point I'm getting to here is that he told some other people that the film will in fact be rated R. So now I'm telling you.
Kevin Tancharoen has apparently been onboard to direct the "Mortal Kombat" reboot for about 3 years now. He's decided to leave the project though. Cause ya, it's been 3 years or something. I don't know, I lost interest in stuff after about a week. Case in point the frequency of these news posts. Just saying.
Here's a guy in Texas who was hit by two bolts of lightning during the same storm. God hates him.
Here's a heartwarming story about a woman in China who met a sweet man online and eventually liked him so much that she arranged a sexy meet up with him, to have sexy sex that is. Only a couple of problems here though. First, she was married and second she had actually arranged to have sex with her father in law by mistake. What's worse is her husband found the emails she was sending and turned up at the hotel to break up the meeting. Oh I bet they all had a good laugh over that mix up.
As a huge "Alien" and "Aliens" fan, I get drawn towards a lot of art projects inspired by the franchise, but seldom do I find something that creeps me out more than the actual movie! Enter Portrait Sculptor and Prop Builder Sculptor Steve! Originally found on Buzzfeed, this meticulous silicone sculpt of Sigourney Weaver was created using photos from 1986's "Aliens"!
Unlike many sci-fi or horror films that require huge leaps of faith or suspensions of disbelief, perhaps the only thing that "Red Lights," the new film from Rodrigo Cortes ("Buried"), asks of the audience is that they presuppose "The X-Files" never existed. Mulder and Scully famously made skepticism cool as they toured around the world investigating paranormal events.
If you know one thing about me it's that I am a giant Greek mythology buff. Yes I know I've never mentioned it but I'm pretty sure you can tell just by looking into my eyes. They're so blue and dreamy. So the news that a film titled "Theseus" is in the works and will follow the zany antics of the warriors who battled and defeated (spoiler alert) the legendary minotaur has got me all in a tizzy. No real details are being released yet but Javor Gardev has already signed on to direct. Seriously check out my eyes sometime. You'll get lost in them.
I feel like I've written more about "The Exorcist" in the past month than I have my entire existence as a internet sensation. Granted I've only been the leader in internet content for about 2 years and during that time not much has happened so it kind of makes sense. So just to catch you up about a month ago a rumor was out that there was a tv show based on the film in the works. Then it came out that the show was BS but William Friedkin, who owns the rights to the story, was working on his own show. Now today he says that's actually crap too and the idea of a series based on an exorcism is awful. So now we're done with this. Until next week.
21 year old Matt Shively is the first name to be attached to "Paranormal Activity 4" which hits theaters on October 19th. He's reportedly playing the role of 'Alex' who I do not remember from any of the other films but honestly if I was forced at gun point to name anything other than "spooky ghost you can't see" I'd be dead right now.
Sigourney Weaver says James Cameron is going to shoot "Avatar 2" right along with 3 and 4 at the same time. In honor of this I will see those movies at the same time also. I'll set up 4 giant TV's, I'll toss in the original for good measure, and let the visuals blow my mind. I kid of course. I'm never going to watch those.
Here's a story, with video, of a guy dressed as Elmo running around the central park zoo screaming antisemitic nonsense. Ya know, for the kids.
What the hell is K-2? I need someone to explain this to me because a guy in Texas was high on it when he attacked his neighbors and then killed and ate his dog. I wonder if you could take that before going on one of those Fear Factor shows. If you'd eat a entire dog I'm sure you'd down half a cow's brain and jump through fire.
Universal Pictures "The Thing" prequel has gained some muscle as Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje signs on to the cast. You may know Mr. Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Mr. Eko from ABC's "Lost" or as Simon Abedisi in HBO's "Oz".
"Buried" director Rodrigo Cortes is starting to turn Hollywood heads despite the fact that his first film hasn't even been released yet. Signing on for his next project, the director will be tackling "Red Lights", a paranormal thriller involving the human brain. He continues to draw the star power as well with Sigourney Weaver signed on to star.
Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg, the film makers responsible for the likes of "Date Movie" and "Epic Movie" are aiming their sights on "Twilight" for their next sendup. Could this be the first of their movies that people actually flock to see?
In case you were one of the three people looking forward to CBS Film's "Beastly" this July, I have bad news for you; the darker rendition of "Beauty and the Beast" has been bumped from its July 30th release date.
An Italian teacher decided he had had enough of students wearing their low slung jeans to school so he took it upon himself to show them how ridiculous it looked. For some reason, he decided thatdropping his pants in front of his class would be the best way to do it.
Those crazy teens are at it again as they've invented a new way to get trashed. Called 'eyeballing', the kids have taken to speeding up their intoxication by pouring vodka into their eyes and letting the alcohol be absorbed.
1897 - The first copies of the classic vampire novel Dracula, by Irish writer Bram Stoker, appear in London bookshops on this day in 1897.
The "After Dark" Film festival extends their indie horror reach as they create After Dark Originals, their own film film production arm. Continuing to showcase new talent, the new venture allows them to produce their own movies with new directing and producing talent.
Prepare yourself; Sigourney Weaver is going to bite you. The veteran actress has signed on to play a Queen Vampire in Amy Heckerling's horror comedy, "Vamps"! Weaver will be starring alongside Alicia Silverstone and Kristen Ritter.
Craig Gillespie, director of "Lars and the Real Girl", has been tapped to direct the upcoming "Fright Night" remake proving that there actually is one person out there that still cares about this project!
Liv Ullman will be in "The Ghost Brothers of Darkland County", a musical collaboration between John Mellencamp and Stephen King. Read that again; 'a musical collaboration between John Mellencamp and Stephen King'!
Most men have at least thought about using their junk as a weapon at one point in their lives, but not that many can say they've attacked a female police officer with their testicles. Lithuanian "Cops" must be the greatest show ever.
Are you dying to get your hands on a piece of pop culture history? Prepare yourself, because the syringe that delivered the fatal dose to Michael Jackson is about to go up for auction! The bidding is expected to start at $5 Million dollars, plus 1 soul.
965 - Pope Leo VIII dies of a stroke during sexual intercourse. Perhaps the best way for a man to die, but not a very appropriate choice for the Bishop of Rome.
Remember that rumor earlier this week about Bill Murray playing a ghost in "Ghostbusters 3"? Turns out Sigourney Weaver was just having a little fun at your expense. Oh, Sigourney!
Writer/director Victor Salva really hopes that "Jeeper Creepers 3" will have a proper theatrical release. MGM, meanwhile, isn't so sure.
Although it isn't technically a horror film, it's worth noting that the new trailer for Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland" has appeared online. Honestly, I'm pretty excited about this one.
Additionally, the latest trailer for the high-concept remake of "Clash of the Titans" features a tasty little glimpse of the updated Medusa and the Kraken. My skepticism is quickly waning.
If you think you can rip off the library, think again. An Iowa woman was jailed for not returning the 53 movies she'd borrowed from her local branch.
After flashing her breasts at on-coming traffic, a New Zealand teen is struck by a distracted driver. I don't think they cover this sort of thing in Driver's Ed.
Impaling yourself on a wooden fence is bad enough. Having to wait over 45 minutes for help to arrive is something else entirely. Ouch.
1969 - Project Blue Book, the branch of the military that investigated UFO sightings, is reportedly terminated.
MTV announces plans and casting info for their upcoming "Teen Wolf" TV series adaptation. Yes, you read that right.
Out promoting her upcoming movie "Avatar" that you may have heard of, Sigourney Weaver drops some possible plot bombs pertaining to "Ghostbusters 3". These are pretty juicy details, so I will leave them out of this post. If you're intrigued as to the future of Peter Venkman and Oscar the baby? Be sure to click through.
A 23 year old man dies during an arrest and search by local police. It turns out, his the huge bag of weed that he tried to swallow didn't go down as easily as he thought it would.
A drunken Chinese boy mystifies doctors as he magically changes the channel on the television every time he rolls over. Further testing proved that the magic came from the remote control lodged in his anus.
Ben Ferrett, a 27 year old South Carolina man, has been awarded compensation in court. He's being compensated for passing out at a party while his so called friend poured super glue into his ear and butt crack.
1503: Nostradamus is born.
This week we discuss alchemy, camera technology, a first time guest host joins the show, and we review "As Above, So Below".

TV picks: Weekend, March 16-18
"Frozen Planet"
MINISERIES. This extraordinary miniseries from the people behind "Planet Earth" captures never-before-seen footage of life at the polar regions — like video of the underwater brinicle, known as the 'icy finger of death,' which kills everything it touches — as well as breathtaking landscapes that may not be seen much longer if climate change has its way. Alec Baldwin narrates.
Series premiere, Sunday, 8 p.m., Discovery Channel
"The Walking Dead"
DRAMA. One shocking death last week led to an even more disturbing discovery about zombies which leads to tonight's WTF season finale.
Season finale, Sunday, 9 p.m., AMC
"Fairly Legal"
DRAMA. Sarah Shahi is back as spunky legal mediator Kate, who is still fighting with the stepmom who took over her dad's law firm and just can't get over her ADA ex-husband (played by Michael Trucco — can you blame her?). Maybe she'll have better luck in both her professional and private lives when she goes toe-toe with a trial lawyer (new series regular Ryan Johnson).
Season premiere, Friday, 9 p.m., USA
"Leprechaun's Revenge"
MOVIE. Syfy is at its B-movie best with this campy tale of a murderous leprechaun who is exacting revenge after — you guessed it — his pot of gold is stolen.
Saturday, 9 p.m., Syfy
