Sony entertainment television's newly launched show Desh Ki Beti Nandini's mail lead Keerti Nagpure has been shown roaming around in her Scooty in the show. But it is entirely new thing for her to ride.
A birdie from the set told us that when Keerti had
got to know that she had to ride a Scooty in the serial she was very thrilled
and excited about it. Talking about her experience, she says "I have
never driven a two wheeler ever in my life so I was very much looking
forward to it. In fact my costar Rafi Malik helped me a lot by giving me some
tips on how to create the right balance. It was tough initially but once
you get the technique it is fun to drive. Now I keep riding it all over the
Well it seems our Nandini knows how to make the most of everything.

Happy Spring! Here's an update on what our GPS-tagged eagles have been up to since this winter.
Káa (3C): Káa didn't move too much this winter. Unlike previous winters, when he traveled southward toward Prince Rupert, Káa mostly stuck around the Copper River and other watersheds in the area. Recently he's spent time around Yakutat Bay, and he's currently hanging out in Juneau.
Shaatk' (4P): Just as in December, Shaatk' has stayed very close to Admiralty Island. Most recently she's been hanging out around Pybus Bay, in the southeastern corner of the island.
Shaa (2Z): Shaa seems to have his annual travel pattern down pat. He spent the winter in Prince Rupert near the landfill, then returned to his summer grounds in early spring. He's currently hanging out near Whitehorse, YT.
Xeitl (4R): We were concerned that we wouldn't hear from Xeitl again after losing contact with her transmitter this winter. She popped back up again in spring though, when her transmitter finally recharged. Although we don't know her whereabouts this winter, she's currently hanging out around Juneau. Welcome back, Xeitl!
Kút (3R): Kút is currently firmly on her nesting territory at the tip of Admiralty Island. I wonder if she hatched chicks this year?
Ixkée (2T): Ixkée visited Berners Bay this spring, likely attracted to spawning eulachon (also known as hooligan or candle fish). Recently she's been spending most of her time on the Taku River.
Tláakw (3G): Juneau is a pretty popular spot right now! Tláakw is hanging out there, too.
Keen (3Z): Keen also visited Berners Bay for hooligan, but most recently he's been hanging out across Lynn Canal from Berners, around St. James Bay.
Kínaa (4Y): We lost contact with Kínaa midsummer last year. After not having received a single location from him for more than six months, we were convinced his transmitter had completley failed. But somehow, it didn't! It managed to recharge and we're able to keep up with Kínaa again, at least for the time being. In the past few weeks, he's been spending time in Glacier Bay and around Dundas Bay, to the southwest of Glacier Bay.

Celtic on Tuesday night unveiled the only player in Scottish football to have cost a transfer fee during the most recent window when Serbian striker Stefan Scepovic appeared before the media at Parkhead.
The 24-year-old was signed for £2.2 million from Sporting Gijon late on Monday evening, but only after he had appeared to have a change of heart when La Liga club Getafe expressed an interest.
At that stage Celtic believed the deal to be dead but Spanish officials ruled that Getafe would fall foul of their domestic Financial Fair Play rules if they added Scepovic to their wage bill and that allowed the Scottish champions belatedly to land their target.
The player, however, stressed that he had never deviated from his intention to join the Hoops. "In football, you never know, there can always be some problems," he said. "But I don't want to look at the past. I just want to look at the future with Celtic, that's it. Monday was a tough day, but that's football.
"I never said I didn't want to come to Celtic. I don't know why people say things like that. When I spoke with my family and friends, I always said my choice was to come here. There were some problems but the most important thing is that I am here now.
"OK, I know some fans might be wary. But they can go on the internet will never find any quotes from me where I said I didn't want to come to Celtic. Never - because I didn't say it."
Celtic will be his 11th club in what has been a peripatetic career but Scepovic insists that he is in Glasgow for the long haul. "Why not?" he asked. "It's a big club, we always play in Europe, it's the biggest club in Scotland, so why not? For me it's an opportunity to prove myself.
"I think I moved around a lot because I left my country [to sign for Bruges] when I was so young and it was difficult. Then I went to Italy and they wanted more experience, although I learnt a lot. Then I didn't play so I asked to go to some clubs on loan because I wanted to play. I went a long way but now I am here."
Celtic missed the deadline to register striker John Guidetti on loan from Manchester City in time for him to be eligible for their Europa League ties.
With the backing of the Scottish Football Association and the Scottish Professional Football League, the club has appealed to Fifa for special dispensation to field the player in that competition but, even if their bid fails, they intend to sign the player for the remainder of this season.

The company announced it would be pulling its controversial commercial starring model Kendall Jenner following a significant amount of backlash on social media. So nothing really ever goes away on the internet.
In the ad released on Tuesday, Jenner is in a photoshoot when she notices a protest, she then tears off her wig joins in on the protest and hands an officer a Pepsi. If it was only that easy. "No matter the occasion, big or small, these are the moments that make us feel alive". However, on Wednesday Pepsi said it was removing the ad and halting any further rollout. In the announcement by Pepsi they specifically apologize to Jenner for putting her in this position.
Fans couldn't swallow the commercial showing Jenner as a model who joins a resistance protest.
Just like that, Kendall ends police brutality by grabbing a Pepsi, pushing her way through the crowd and and handing it to a thirsty cop. "She chose to be a part of that ad. Pepsi needs to apologize to the protestors", Black Lives Matter leader Deray McKesson tweeted.
Jenner's camp made no comment about the ad's swift demise.
A source familiar with Jenner's deal with Pepsi tells ET that the commercial was only slated to air overseas, not in the US, but it ended up making the rounds online, with even the 21-year-old model tweeting it out.
Bernice King, daughter of Martin Luther King, spoke out against Pepsi and wrote on Twitter: "If only Daddy would have known about the power of #Pepsi".
It was not the first time Pepsi has touched a nerve.
Sparkling water maker SodaStream (SODA) CEO condemned Pepsi on Wednesday, calling the ad the company's "second tone-deaf marketing scheme of 2017".

Ssd test?
Is there a tool for testing a SSD? I was running the OS from it but I kept losing data so only use it for a secondary drive with programs on it.

Windows 7 Enterprise X64/Windows 10 Enterprise X64/Windows 10 Pro X64/Linux Mint
|My System Specs

Used Both Test Programs
I used both test programs and had the following:
AS_SSD = 190 MB/s Read w/ 161 MB/s Write Score: 153
ATTO = 211 MB/s Read w/ 169 MB/s Write
I don't know if this is good or bad but I was wondering if there was a program that would tell me if there were bad areas in the SSD drive that could be causing me to be losing data.
When I had the OS on the SSD I would eventually lose data and it would not boot up. I reinstalled the OS so many times MS had me revalidate my software. I would like to put the OS back on the SSD but am spooked by it. I don't think it's reliable.
Thanks for the information on the benchmark programs.

Your drive advertises Sequential reads of 250 and writes of 160. So, the tests show you are a little low in reads, but in the ball park. You can try a program like Crystal Disk Info that may tell you what you want to know. But, exactly what do you mean by lose data? There is no reason it should do that.
|My System Specs
|16 Jul 2012
I tried Crystal Disk Info and it did not recognize my SSD as it came up as unknown. I'm over my head on this one.
I believe my problem could be System Mechanic. It says it can defrag the SSD but I read where it's never required. System Mechanic does it automatically on reboot when it detects a problem. I think that's the beginning of my lose of data. I will contact the techs at SM and see how to turn off the testing and auto repair.
I also found a update for the firmware on the Vertex drive. It corrects DOS read problems. The BIOS also has to be changed prior to updating. I'll back it up and try it also.
Appreciate your recommendations.

North Korea is "one of the darkest places on Earth," but there are chinks in the wall that the communist dictatorship uses to keep its people isolated.
Exiles in the South are beginning to exploit them by smuggling in DVDs, flash drives and shortwave radios that are floated across the border in helium-filled balloons, members of Congress were told Tuesday.
Defectors from North Korea and human-rights experts painted a harrowing picture of life in the vast prison camps run by the regime. They told a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee that even in the hermetic, one-party state where listening to foreign broadcasts is a crime and domestic radios are locked on a single frequency, increasing numbers can access information from the outside world.
"North Korea continues to be one of the darkest places on Earth, and we have failed to address the main issue … which is human rights because we have focused instead on the nuclear issue," said Suzanne K. Scholte of the non-profit Defense Forum Foundation. "This has had tragic results."
Those results were spelled out by two former prisoners from North Korea's nightmarish Gulag system of prison labor camps.
Inmates survived on a diet of rats and insects, said dancer Kim Young-soon, who was jailed in 1970 because she knew about the relationship between a fellow dancer and Kim Jong-il, who later succeeded his father as "supreme leader" of the Korean Workers' Party and the North Korean state.
"My one wish was to eat just one bowl of white rice for one meal," said Kim Hye-sook , jailed at age 13 in 1975, because her grandfather had decades earlier fled to the South.
Both later escaped and came to South Korea, where they joined the burgeoning movement of exiles from the communist state.
Up to 200,000 people are held in North Korea's prison camps, according to the testimony of Greg Scarlatoiu, executive director of the Committee for Human Rights in North Korea. He added that satellite imagery over the past 10 years "indicates a considerable increase in the scale of the camps."
One of the "crimes" for which North Koreans can be imprisoned is for listening to or watching broadcasts of foreign radio or TV.
Nonetheless, Mr. Scarlatoiu said, surveys of those who had escaped indicated that as many as 30 percent of the population have listened to foreign radio broadcasts, including those from the U.S. funded Radio Free Asia. Among other sources, radios were smuggled in from China, he said.
As many as half a million people in the North now have cellphones, Mr. Scarlatoiu said. The phones cannot receive calls from the South, but callers there can connect to their relatives or friends in the North through Chinese brokers, he told a hearing of the subcommittee on Africa, global health and human rights.
Although internet access is restricted to foreigners and those in Mr. Kim's inner circle, about 3 percent of the population are thought to have access to personal computers, he said. They use these to watch DVDs - often pirated copies of Hollywood movies or South Korean soap operas.
A North Korean squid fisherman who fled the country said later he had been inspired to leave by watching South Korean soap opera, Mr. Scarlatoiu added,
Ms. Scholte told The Washington Times that one of the things defectors reported was that North Koreans were fascinated by the kitchen appliances portrayed in the soap operas.
"It gives them the chance to see the prosperity in which their South Korean neighbors live," she said.
Defector Kim Seong-min, founder of Free North Korea Radio, told The Times his organization was smuggling DVDs of western movies into the North with short counterpropaganda films spliced into them.
He said they had produced 4,000 DVDs of the first three Rambo movies intercut with items about North Korea, such as comparisons of its standard of living with other countries.
"We have to support the creative things the defectors themselves are doing like shortwave radio [broadcasts] and these balloon launches," said Ms. Scholte, referring to the exiles' efforts to float contraband over the border attached to helium balloons.

Pfizer's recent experience with torcetrapib, a novel medicine that raises good cholesterol, underscores the risks of drug development, says the Washington Times. The idea of elevating cholesterol -- and combining it with drugs that reduce bad cholesterol -- was based on research that it could reverse atherosclerosis, the cause of nearly 500,000 deaths a year in America.
The torcetrapid study was halted when it became clear that while the drug worked in a small percentage of patients, more people died on a combination torcetrapib and Lipitor than on Lipitor alone, even though researchers did not know which people the drug harmed.
This underscores a greater problem with overall clinical testing, says the Times:
- Most failures are a result of not identifying the small percentage of patients who are harmed more than helped by medicines early in the drug development process.
- Only 8 percent of all medicines that enter clinical testing get FDA approval, and that typically occurs nearly a billion dollars and a decade later, compounding the problem.
Hence, targeting medicines is critical to advancing drug development and public health. Drug and biotech companies -- many of whom are losing money -- are moving in this direction at an additional cost and some risk as they attack such illnesses as Alzheimer's, cancer and Parkinson's.
But that may be soon thwarted. Democrats are proposing to cut Medicare drug prices by 60 percent. The last time a Democrat (Sen. Hillary Clinton) suggested that, biotech venture capital dried up and the market value for biotech and pharma stocks dropped by half. No one can or should guarantee scientific success. But reintroducing Hillarycare as Medicare "reform" will kill the enthusiasm for failure required to sustain medical progress.

Johannesburg - An articulated truck caught fire on the N3 north near the Marlboro offramp on Thursday morning, Johannesburg metro police said."The fire department are still on scene... I believe it is quite a large fire," Inspector Edna Mamonyane said.Traffic was heavily affected, with two lanes closed to traffic.- Are you affected or on the scene? Send us your eyewitness accounts and photos
It was crap!! Was stuck from Edenvale onramp all the way to Buccleuch
My husband left home at 6:15 and it took him one and a half hours to get to Petervale. Imagine how bad it is for those who left later!
@Marion. Ohh is that what he told at least it was not at night
@makatika - what a stupid comment you clown
Three people don't have a sense of humor
A world without humor, is a world I would not wan't to live in...
This is a clear example of the driver travelling too fast, he tried to brake, and his brakes overheated and burst into flame (quite cool actually) and then set fire to his curtain side trailers. Track his speed on the tachometer data uploads... then fine the company for F@@king up the traffic.
Traffic was terrible, I was travelling on the N3 in the opposite direction and I sat forever, stupid people slowing down to check it out.... urg!
Now I can send this article to my wife's boos and she wont get that written warning she was worried about...

Dublin Airport invites bids to build £270m runway as passenger numbers grow
The DAA expects to name the successful bidder for the core work of its €320m (£270m) Dublin Airport runway project next spring, after launching a formal tender process yesterday.
Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) has initiated the first stage of the tender process, seeking interest from companies or consortia interested in constructing the new 3.1km runway.
The DAA then expects to narrow those expressions of interest to at least four applicants that will be invited to the second stage of the tender process.
It announced earlier this year that it intended to proceed with the construction of a new runway as passenger numbers at Dublin Airport continue to soar. The airport handled 25 million passengers last year and is on track to cater for more than 27 million this year. It's one of the fastest-growing airports in Europe.
The work currently being put out to tender by the DAA includes the construction of the new runway itself, as well as associated taxiways, exits, aircraft aprons and stands, the demolition of an old, unused runway and reconstruction of the existing cross-runway.
The DAA has told prospective bidders that the old, decommissioned runway is currently being used for aircraft parking and must be demolished. But before the entire length of the new runway and some taxiways can be completed, a new alternative aircraft parking area must be constructed and commissioned, and must be ready by the first quarter of 2018.
The DAA is also about to embark on a €60m project to overlay the existing main runway at Dublin Airport. That work is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2018, and will overlap construction of the new runway for a period of between nine months and a year. The Irish Aviation Authority is also planning to build a new €50m control tower at Dublin Airport.
The DAA has to have two conditions attached to the new runway amended. One of the existing conditions is that the runway would not be operational between 11pm and 7am. That would prevent it being used for one of the busiest times of the day, as early morning flights take off for Europe, and many flights from north America begin to arrive in Dublin.
A second condition means the total number of night time flights at Dublin Airport cannot exceed 65 between 11pm and 7am once the new runway is built. But the airport already handles about 90 take-offs and landings between those hours. DAA chief executive Kevin Toland has told local community groups the airport wants to secure unconditional night time use of both runways. Local groups from surrounding areas, including the Portmarnock Community Association, have told DAA this would be unacceptable.
New EU rules that have reassessed permissible noise levels at EU airports, could mean that the contentious runway planning conditions could be lifted.
However, it seems likely at this stage that the DAA will still have to seek an amendment to the conditions from An Bord Pleanala.
Dublin Airport added two new airlines to its portfolio this year. They are Aegean Airlines, which launched a new service to Athens, and Cobalt, which flies into the Cypriot capital of Larnaca.
It will also see the return of Dutch airline KLM, which will begin a new service to Amsterdam.
It currently flies that route from Belfast City Airport.
Aer Lingus will also add two US long-haul connections to Newark and Hartford in Connecticut later this year.

Options 101. What are Options. An option is a contract sold by one individual (option writer) and bought by another individual (option holder).
Download Policy: Content on the Website is provided to you AS IS for your information and personal use and may not be sold / licensed / shared on other websites without getting consent from its author.While downloading, if for some reason you are not able to download a presentation, the publisher may have deleted the file from their server.
The expiration date is the date the contract expires.
As you see from that slide AAPL has many various expiration days listed.
AAPL has weekly options as well as monthly options. (In TDA the weekly options are represented in red). Not all securities have weekly options.
All options expire on Saturday. But since the markets are not open trading ends on Friday at 4:30P.M.
Weekly options expire each Saturday on the week they are listed for. Where as monthly options expire the 3rd Saturday of each month.
In this example AAPL has a $2.50 difference between strike prices. (i.e. – 515 / 517.50 / 520 / 522.50 / 525)
If you a buying call options you are bullish on the underlying security and want the underlying to increase in price.
In the example:
The 550 strike call entities are willing to buy that contract for $1.62 and entities are will to sell it for $1.63
The 550 strike put entities are willing to buy that contract for $18.20 and entities are will to sell it for $18.90
In our example:
The 550 calls had 10900 contracts traded and had an open interest of 45289
The 500 puts had 2360 contracts traded and had an open interest of 20933
In our example AAPL at the time was trading at 532.94 which mean the strike price of 532.50 are ATM (At the Money).
For the calls any strike price above 532.50 (535 – 550) are considered OTM where as the strike price below 532.50 (515 – 532) are considered ITM
For the puts any strike price above 532.50 (535 – 550) are considered ITM where as the strike price below 532.50 (515 – 532) are considered OTM
This is where it does confuse some people but hopefully in the end it will make more sense when I show examples.
In our example:
The 550 calls have a delta of .18 this means for every point the underlying rises or lowers the option value will increase or decrease .18
The 550 puts have a delta of .83 this means for every point the underlying rises or lowers the option value will increase of decrease .83
In our example:
The 550 calls value will drop .36 every day the contract is open
The 550 puts value will drop .31 everyday the contract is open
Example of exercising calls.
Say I bought one AAPL 520 call and paid $15.30/share (premium for the contract $1530 cash outlay) and come Jan 18 when the option expires AAPL is trading @ 545 and I want to own APPL. I would exercise the option buying 100 shares of AAPL from the option writer @ 520/share ($52,000). Keep in mind I paid the premium ($1530) to buy those shares @ 520 even with AAPL trading @ 545 on the close of Jan 18th. So my total cost per share for AAPL would be $535.30
Example of exercising puts:
I bought 1 AAPL 535put @ $8.90 (cash outlay $890). I think AAPL is going to keep dropping till expiration, and I currently do not own AAPL. So come Jan 18th when it times for the option to expire AAPL dropped and now trading @ 510.
So you want to exercise that option. Here is where some brokers very. Keep in mind a put means you are "putting" it to the option writer, which means you are selling it to him. And remember I did not own AAPL so what am I selling to him? Some brokers will go out on the open market and buy the shares floating you the amount of the cost ($51,000 – 100X 510) and then sell them to the option writer for ($53,500 -100X535). Some brokers will require you to have the $51K in your account even if you are just using it for a few seconds.
Most entities who buy option are using them as a "stop loss hedge" to a long position they are holding.
Example of buying call options: (what I do)
On Friday I bought (BTO)10 AAPL 520calls @ 15.30. My cash outlay for that trade is $15,300. (10 contracts = 1000 shares underlying @ 15.30 (premium per share)) and the underlying price of AAPL is @ 532.50
Come Monday AAPL gaps up to 536.60 (4 point move). If you look at the delta those 520calls had a delta .76. So that means in minimum those option would now be worth $3.04. Granted they would be higher due to the fact they went even deeper ITM, but you can use the delta as a reference number.
So I place an order to sell (STC) 10 AAPL 520calls for $18.34
So profit on that trade is $3,040

If you make a charge on your credit card and there is a problem with the transaction you can file a dispute with the credit card company. You have 60 days from the posting date to file this dispute. There are several reasons under which you can file a credit card dispute. The most common ones are as follows:
- Services not rendered.
- Item not received.
- Service canceled.
- Item returned.
- Duplicate charge.
- Partial dispute. – you don't have to dispute the whole charge if you had a problem with only part of your order.
- Call the merchant
This is the first step in disputing a charge on your credit card. It's the fastest and easiest way to handle a dispute. It is entirely possible that if you contact the merchant and explain the situation they will remove the charge. Besides, the credit card company won't go to bat for you unless you have spoken to the merchant first.
- Contact the credit card company.
Let them know you want to dispute the charge. They will probably ask you some very basic questions and send you a form to fill out.
- Fill out the form and mail it back.
The form will ask the details of the charge. They will want to know when you spoke to the merchant and the results of the conversation. If you have a cancellation number from the merchant you will need to provide it on this form.
- Wait.
It can take 30 days for a resolution to the dispute. If you see a credit on your account before the 30-day mark do not assume everything is finished. Most likely, it is a temporary credit issued while the company investigates the charge. If the credit card company find in your favor the credit is yours to keep, if not the charge will reappear on your account. So leave room for it in your available credit. (You shouldn't be charging right up to your limit anyways.) If you don't receive a temporary credit, don't worry. The charge will not accrue interest or be included in your minimum payment calculation while it is in dispute.

11 Weirdest Super Bowl XLIX Prop Bets (All of Which I Actually Made)
written by Sam Greenspan
Even though I'm not doing lists exclusively on this site anymore, the list format had to make its triumphant return for
For the seventh year in a row, I'm diving into Super Bowl prop bets -- and for the sixth year in a row, I'm putting real money on them. If you're not familiar, sports books offer crazy bets for the Super Bowl, usually with terrible odds and sketchy rules. But I make them anyway. Let's go to the tape...
I didn't actually make the bets but picked pretty well... in
I went 4-7 on bets but my wins were big, so I only lost $14.41... in
I slightly improved to 4-6-1 and lost slightly less at $13.58... in
I finally came out in the black, going 5-4-2 for a total of +$4.77... in
I had my biggest year yet, going 6-5 to win $19.56... and
last year
I regressed to 4-7 to lose $30.80, my worst showing ever.
Once again, I bet $11 on 11 different bets this year, for a total of $121 in horrible prop bets. Here are the 11 weirdest bets I made for the 2015 Super Bowl and my rationale behind each...
How long will Idina Menzel take to complete the National Anthem?
Over 122.5 seconds even (1/1)
Under 122.5 seconds -140 (5/7)
My default has almost always been the over, with sexy results. (Except last year, when that opera singer lady rushed the entire thing.) I feel like Idina Menzel will be so excited to perform a song other than
Let It Go
for the first time in 14 months that she's going to milk this thing until they have to drag her off the stage with a comically oversized hook.
I bet $11 dollars on over two minutes, 2.5 seconds with a potential win of $11.
What will the top temperature be in Phoenix for the entire day?
Under 66.2 F +450 (9/2)
66.2 to 69.8 +230 (23/10)
69.8 to 73.4 +200 (2/1)
73.4 to 77 +333 (10/3)
Over 77 +500 (5/1)
The temperatures are a little weird because this bet is from the British site Paddy Power, so I had to convert everything from Celsius into God's Preferred Temperature Scale.
The weather forecast right now calls for a high of 70 degrees in Phoenix on Sunday. But meteorology is meteorology and data is data -- so I'm not just going to rely on that. The all-time high for Phoenix on February 1st is 83 degrees in 2003... the average high is 69 degrees... and the highs in the "climate change" era of the past decade have been 66, 73, 75, 64, 67, 73, 62, 61, 71 and 66.
That makes it a real battle between that 66.2-69.8 option and the 69.8-73.4 option. The weather forecast says 70, but the data is leading me strongly toward 66.2 to 69.8; there have only been four times in the past 10 years where the temperature has been higher than that range, the average is within that range and I feel more confident going a little colder than a little warmer.
I bet $11 dollars on 66.2 to 69.8 degrees with a potential win of $25.30.
Belichick in 70-degree weather.
Will Bill Belichick wear a hoodie with sleeves or cut/no sleeves?
Sleeves +170 (17/10)
Cut/no sleeves -235 (20/47)
Well this turned out to be more of a labor than I planned. Cross-referencing old NFL schedules, old temperature data and old photos gets a little cumbersome.
My strategy was to look back through New England's schedule, find a game where the temperature was around 68-71 degrees (like I'm predicting for Sunday), Google Image search Belichick from that game and see if he was wearing sleeves. Well... I couldn't find a game with those conditions until I went back to September 16th, 2012, when the Patriots lost to the Arizona Cardinals (semi-coincidentally) in Boston. The high that day was 71.
Belichick was NOT wearing long sleeves that day. The pick is in.
I bet $11 dollars on cut/no sleeves with a potential win of $4.68.
What song will Katy Perry sing first at halftime?
Roar -120 (5/6)
This Is How We Do +1200 (12/1)
Part of Me +2500 (25/1)
Firework +200 (2/1)
The One That Got Away +2500 (25/1)
Dark Horse +550 (11/2)
Hot n Cold +2000 (20/1)
Last Friday Night +2500 (25/1)
Teenage Dream +1000 (10/1)
I Kissed a Girl +2500 (25/1)
California Gurls +2500 (25/1)
Unconditionally +1000 (10/1)
I'm guessing
is the runaway favorite for two reasons. (1) It's thematically perfect for the Super Bowl halftime show and (2) on her most recent tour, she opened up pretty much every single show with it according to
It's a safe pick, but I am not going to make it. I think she'll save
for later in the set; usually Super Bowl halftime show set lists are unique. I figure she's going to want to build, start with perhaps just a vocal on a dark stage with a spotlight and then explode into something bigger. No individual song does that better than
-- plus when the song explodes, they can literally explode some fireworks. The NFL loves fireworks. I'm very happy with this pick. (Although sad that I'm not going with the dark horse of
Dark Horse
which could've brought Juicy J to the Super Bowl. I love Juicy J.)
I bet $11 dollars on
with a potential win of $22.
Will Katy Perry show cleavage during the halftime show?
Yes -800 (1/8)
No +450 (9/2)
Katy Perry got in trouble for showing too much cleavage on
Sesame Street
. And yes, I know the NFL fancies itself a more Puritanical environment than
Sesame Street
, but still. Come on.
I bet $11 dollars on cleavage with a whopping potential win of $1.38.
How many times will Gisele Bundchen be shown on TV?
Over 1.5 even (1/1)
Under 1.5 -140 (5/7)
This is a standard bet offered for any Super Bowl where a player has a celebrity girlfriend/wife, but Gisele is no standard celebrity WAG. She's the celebrity WAG who angrily and publicly went after Brady's receivers after the Patriots lost the Super Bowl in 2012. Still,
on-camera appearances during the game seems a little excessive. After all, I'm sure NBC needs to save some celebrity camera time to promote some new show on their
Who Gives a Rat's Ass Thursday
I bet $11 dollars on the under with a potential win of $7.86.
How many times will "deflated" or "deflate" be said during the game?
Over 3 -140 (5/7)
Under 3 even (1/1)
Ooh that "3" is a devious over/under spot. My initial instinct is the over -- after all, the media has said the word "deflate" 46.7 million times in the past two weeks, so if the broadcast hits just an imperceptible fraction of that, we're in the money. And I think the bookmakers had that same instinct, since over is the favorite.
But the more I thought about it -- four mentions is a LOT. I figure we'll get straightforward mention of the scandal plus two unfunny Cris Collinsworth jokes. (AKA all Cris Collinsworth jokes.) But a fourth mention beyond that? There's only so much you can beat the dead horse. I really think it will be a push but in lieu of that, I'll go under.
I bet $11 dollars on the under with a potential win of $11.
Will Marshawn Lynch celebrate a touchdown by grabbing his crotch?
Yes +350 (7/2)
No -600 (1/6)
I have loved all the Marshawn Lynch stuff this week -- especially sports reporters upset that he's exposing the worthlessness of their generic questions by becoming an exponentially bigger story through saying nothing at all. I also love the "Hold mah dick" touchdown celebration -- even if it flies in the face of his whole excuse for shirking interviews because he doesn't want the spotlight. Marshawn Lynch is a complex lunatic. I do expect him to score a TD in the Super Bowl and I will be extremely disappointed if doesn't grab his crotch out of fear of getting fined. Although since he's just there so he doesn't get fined, you never know...
I bet $11 dollars on yes with a potential win of $38.50.
Will Bill Belichick smile on camera during the game?
Yes +140 (7/5)
No -180 (5/9)
I might've been willing to bet the "no" on "Will Bill Belichick ever smile again in his life?" Easiest bet on the board.
I bet $11 dollars on no with a potential win of $6.11.
What will be higher: Russell Wilson's passing yards (-17.5) or the U.S. national average gas price (in pennies) on Monday, February 2nd?
Wilson -17.5 -125 (4/5)
Gas prices +17.5 -105 (20/21)
So this is a little convoluted. Russell Wilson's yardage -- plus 17.5 added on -- has to be higher than the national average gas price. Let's break it down...
This year Wilson averaged 217.2 yards per game. He's averaging 238.5 per game in the playoffs. Last year, in the Super Bowl, he threw for 206 (and last week, he threw for 209).
The current national average gas price is $2.038. It's trending down, but not rapidly, so we're almost certainly looking at something in the $2.01 - $2.05 range, most likely right around $2.038.
That means Russell Wilson needs to throw for more than 221.3 yards to cover this spread (or, on the highest end of my predictions, 223 yards). He's only done that two times in his playoff career, his season average is below that and his "big game" small sample size average is below that.
I took the points (gas points? can I get coffee mugs with them?) and bet $11 dollars on gas prices with a potential win of $10.48.
Groundhog Day parlay!
Punxsutawney Phil sees shadow, Pats win +220 (11/5)
Punxsutawney Phil doesn't see shadow, Pats win +275 (11/4)
Punxsutawney Phil sees shadow, Hawks win +225 (9/4)
Punxsutawney Phil doesn't see shadow, Hawks win +275 (11/4)
And finally, I love this one. After all, you may always toast to world peace, but I toast to the groundhog.
First off, I am picking Seattle to win. I have two friends in L.A. whose favorite teams are the Lions and Seahawks respectively. I'm a Browns fan. The three of us have always cheered for each other's crappy teams -- and now, one of our teams accidentally turned out to be good. Last year we were vociferous about the Seahawks and we'll run that back. Plus, since my five-year streak of coming in last in fantasy football leagues has proven, I fail when I try to predict anything related to football, so I might as well just pick the team I like better.
And now onto the groundhog. Punxsutawney Phil has made 118 predictions on record -- and has seen his shadow 85.6 percent of the time. There's very little incentive in the betting lines for me to go against the grain.
I bet $11 dollars on Phil seeing his shadow parlayed with a Seahawks victory, with a potential win of $24.75.
I'll have the results up on Tuesday or Wednesday, depending on when the official word on the Groundhog Day parlay and the gas price come in.

Bumi Plc, the London-listed Indonesian coal mining group riven by a shareholder dispute urged investors on Tuesday to reject British financier Nat Rothschild's proposal to replace the board and back its own plan for peace instead.
Rothschild is locked in a bitter corporate governance battle with Bumi Plc's co-founders, Indonesia's influential Bakrie family, wants to remove at least 12 of the 14 current directors and bring in a new board including himself.
Shareholders are due to vote on Rothschild's proposals at a special meeting in London on February 21.
Underlining its opposition to the proposals, the board also announced on Tuesday the appointment of Eko Budianto to head Bumi Plc's 85 percent-owned business Berau Coal Energy, an appointment opposed by Rothschild.
Chief Executive Nick von Schirnding said the Bumi Plc board was unanimous in its view that Rothschild's plan would lead to a stalemate, continued shareholder disputes and further value destruction.
Instead the board wants to pursue a recovery plan starting with a divorce from the Bakrie Group under a "separation proposal" which would see Bakrie selling its direct 23.8 per cent stake in Bumi Plc in return for $278m in cash and Bumi Plc's 29 per cent stake in PT Bumi Resources.

Ace Attorney: A video game where you play as the defense attorney, Phoenix Wright, to a number of amusing characters, face off against legendary and prideful German prosecutors, cross-examine testimonies, and present evidence to point out contradictions as you try to get your client off the hook and point the judge's gavel to the real suspect.
Ace Attorney: A series where the player gets to act as detective to a number of elaborate murder mysteries- investigating crime scenes, examining evidence, trying to get information out of the colorful and generally unhelpful witnesses, and having comical conversations with your unique sidekicks (Maya and Pearl) to lighten the mood.
Ace Attorney: A confusing yet epic story about Phoenix's life when he finds himself connected to a family of spirit mediums called the Feys. Among them are Phoenix's mentor, Mia Fey, and his assistants, Maya and Pearl Fey, as well as many other Feys introduced later into the franchise.
Ahh, no, I've got it this time.
Ace Attorney is a game of logic and investigation. As Phoenix Wright, DA, you travel around to a number of different places where you "borrow" evidence from crime scenes and badger witnesses to get some solid information on the prosecution's case. Finally, when the time for the trial comes (although sometimes the trial spans over multiple days with investigation periods in between), you must use all the evidence you've gathered to make a case for your client and to make clear the contradictions between the evidence and the witnesses' testimony. But even that is not enough in the world of Phoenix Wright! Even after clearing your client of suspicion, the player is made responsible for finding the real killer and proving his/her guilt in court. Only a certain number of screw-ups will be tolerated, though, because the Judge can give you penalties. You receive them for unnecessary badgering or presenting the wrong evidence. The Judge penalizes you by giving a blow to what looks like a health bar (it's a row of exclamation points in the first game). Running out of "health" makes you lose the case and start over from the latest save.
Just a few of your many "unique" defendants.
The odds seem to be entirely against you. This is put best by your Prosecutor "friend," Miles Edgeworth, who suspects there is a "Kick Me" sign on the defense stand. The Judge is rather naive, and is usually willing to accept anything the prosecution says. The Judge sometimes decides on a Guilty Verdict before the trial starts, although giving a quick, "Hold it!" gives you a chance to present your argument. Your Honor is also rather partial to cute females like April May and Dahlia Hawthorne. It's up to you to set this wishy-washy deliverer of Justice on the right path to justice and truth!
Playable Defense Attorneys, Phoenix, Mia (for 2 flashback cases), and ???
Sound corny enough? In some instances, you do have to cringe at the cheesiness (I mean, come on. You slam your desk, point your finger, and shout, "Objection!" to every contradiction), but for the most part, you're too busy enjoying yourself. And while your main method of deduction appears to be mass bluffing, you always finds the truth in the end with facts and evidence to back it up.
There is way more to the game than just looking for evidence, talking to witnesses, cross-examinations, and presenting evidence. In court, you also get to pinpoint the significance in photos and show locations of the victim and murderer on handy diagrams of the crime scene. Case 1-5 introduces another out-of-court element, although this feature disappears until Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney brings it back. A young scientist named Ema Skye employs your help, and with her funky gadgets, you get to check for fingerprints and match them with the right person. There is also luminol testing (finding out where there's blood), scientifically!
But by far the coolest (although sometimes annoying) investigative feature is Psyche-Locks. "Psycho-locks," as called by Mr. Edgeworth, are big red locks. Well, they aren't real, but with Maya's Magatama, you can see red locks and chains over anyone who's hiding the truth. You can end up seeing Psyche-Locks on witnesses, police detectives, or even your own client. Either way, this secret won't unlock itself. By using the Magatama, you can utilize the evidence in new ways to find out what the character is hiding. Once you've guessed their secret, the Psyche-Locks will break and the person will confess everything. A person can have anywhere from 1 to 5 Psyche Locks, and the more there are, the more it takes to unlock. Some Psyche-Locks are annoying or self-explanatory, but a lot of the time, you'll be happy to see the Magatama react and to see those red locks come in place. You'll be even more satisfied to see your "health bar" replenish (from any hits it may have taken) when you uncover the truth.
The characters are many and varied. There are haughty prosecutors (Edgeworth, Franziska von Karma, Godot), goofy spirit mediums (Maya and Pearl Fey), incompetent police (Detective Dick Gumshoe and poor Mike Meekins), and two-faced men and women who will leave you shocked with sudden changes in personality. I won't name names there, because the fun comes in the surprise. You get swept up by the intricate story lines (involving loan sharks, clowns, thieves, college sweethearts, and waitresses, but I won't say too much here). The sprites are detailed and have many funny animations to express any emotion on the entire spectrum.
This game is chock full of music. I have to say, while some of the tunes are excellent, a lot come off as just plain okay. I love that there is a theme for every single character that plays as you talk to them. I adore how the music changes from slow and calming to fast and suspenseful. For instance, the music in court may stop when you present the right evidence, and fast-paced music plays when the witness (or you) gets cornered, or when a case-breaking fact comes to light. There were some songs that I was madly in love with! But aside from character entrances and court music, the music is mostly in the background and easily ignored.
One of the most awesome tunes in the entire game
The controls are very simple. I have to admit, Phoenix Wright is what made me accept the DS. Before Ace Attorney, I refused to play with that tiny-screened console. Yet Phoenix Wright well uses the double screen and maintains awesome graphics in the small space. You even get to use the mic to shout, "Objection!" along with Phoenix when you find contradictions.
The theme of the game, despite being about murders, is overall very light, with slapstick humor and Phoenix's sarcastic wit. However, the drama kicks in when it needs to, and when it does, keep tissues nearby. Be prepared to feel like you've been slapped across the face, then feel like it's Christmas morning in a span of a few minutes. I can hardly complain about this wonderful game. My expectations were totally exceeded. The game is a good length and is chock full of content. The game actually requires thinking and the player is responsible for large leaps in logic.
No, you didn't... and we'll prove it!!
This review is for "the Phoenix arc" in the game. There are three different arcs. Phoenix's era, Apollo Justice's era seven years later, and the spin-off Miles Edgeworth: Ace Attorney Investigations, where you act as a sort of Prosecutor/Detective back in the time of the Phoenix arc.
The game, Ace Attorney, is incredibly fun. It's my favorite game, hands down, and that's a pretty amazing feat considering it had to beat out Super Smash Brothers Brawl. I recommend it to absolutely anyone. Though the premise sounds boring, you will not be bored for a second with this positively amazing game.
(And for all the Suzumiya Haruhi fans, here is a parody the animators did of Phoenix Wright. Warning: Spoilers for the Island episodes!)

Trump Talk is Cheap; Let's See the Actions
Steve Deace said something on his show Friday night that all Americans–especially those who call themselves Christians–need to hear and take deeply to heart. So I've transcribed what he said here, from the podcast, about 14 minutes in:
Trump, today, chose to have himself, one of the two Bibles he chose to have himself sworn in on was Abraham Lincoln's inaugural Bible. One of Lincoln's most oft-quotes phrases during the Civil War was I am not saying God is on our side, I am saying that we're trying to get on his.
I'm happy to see there were prayers in the name of Jesus today. There were things that have been missing in our nation's capital, and I am going to take them at face value that they were done in earnest. And even if they are, that is utterly meaningless if they are not followed by action.
Why do you call me "Lord," Jesus says, if you do not do what I say? It is not about what you say, it is about what you do. A tree can call itself whatever it wants. But you know how we know what kind of tree it is? By the kind of fruit it bears. It can scream and yell and cry and it can Tweet all it wants "I am an apple tree," but come harvest time, when oranges are sitting there budding on the leaves, it's not an apple tree, it's an orange tree, no matter what it identifies as or claims to be.
So it's not about the fact that we heard prayers today. In fact, I would urge you to follow Trump's own advice. Trump himself said today the time for talk is over. The time for action is here. Well, I believe James would agree: faith without works is dead. Enough with prayers. That's great, but if they're not going to be followed by action, they're irrelevant. They will fall on deaf ears. I am sure plenty of unrepentant people prayed when they saw the floods coming, but the floods still came.
There was a threat of rain today. Franklin Graham said that rain is a blessing in the Bible…unless you are one of Noah's contemporaries. We have to be very careful with this, guys. We are playing a very dangerous game here, invoking God's word and then not following through with it. As Saint Peter says, it is better to have never known God's law and his word, than to know it and not obey it.
I cannot believe how many of you Tweeted me today or sent me notes today: "It's good to hear these words again." No, it's not about words. Jesus said people come to me and they will say we did this in your name, we said this in your name, we, we, we–"I don't know who you are." Where's the obedience?
Trump said today that our nation will be protected by God. Pretty presumptuous to speak for God. You know, there's no nation that God loved more than his own, Israel. And he punished them with captivity for their disobedience. Would we presume–we have been a very blessed and favored nation–would we presume to be more loved by God than his own? That's quite a presumption unto itself as well. So if he was willing to take his belt off and spank them, if he was willing to look at them and say, "I just want you to know before Nebuchadnezzar shows up, this is going to hurt me more than it's gonna hurt you, for the next 70 years, if he was willing to do that with his own people, you don't think he'd be willing to do that with us?
So the question isn't that we will be protected by God. The petition is, may we be protected by God. And if you follow God's word and if you follow the way he interacts with his people, and all of his creation throughout history, there seems to be at least some reliance on our obedience in order to obtain his protection in the end. It doesn't happen in a vacuum.
The president of the United States cannot just simply decree that we will be protected by God. Whether his name is Barack Obama or Donald Trump or Pope Whatever; can't simply decree that. Don't fall for empty rhetoric, don't fall for empty sentiments. And that worries me when I see that. And when you demand that God will protect us, and you have a known heretic like Paula White up there doing the praying, that might not be the best way to try and curry God's favor.
Now I'm going to take it at face value, because there were also some people doing some praying up there that I respect immensely. So I'm going to take at face value that Trump, spiritually, is a neophyte, he's really just new at a lot of this. And he's got a menagerie of beliefs and perspectives surrounding him, and he's earnestly seeking the right way to do things. And we're all clumsy when we fumble through the darkness. I get that. That's why we search for the light. I get that. I did the same. I'm going to take at face value that's true.
But it doesn't work the way it was presented today. It doesn't work that way. And those aren't my words, those are his. Read them yourself. We have to be very careful in the way invoke God into our public and civic affairs. Because we don't dictate terms to him, gentlemen, he dictates terms to us. So it's not about, are we praying to him. It's about what are the motivations behind those prayers. Because if the motivation is there behind those prayers, obedience will follow.
Just some things I pointed out a few thousand times during the election last year in countless conversations with many people who have in the past championed conservative and Christian principles (and which fell almost entirely on deaf ears this past year).
And in case you don't know or have forgotten why I (and others, like Deace) am so skeptical that we will see any real conservatism or righteousness from the Trump Administration, here is a brief summary of why (and more here, in case that still leaves you wondering).
I am not nearly as optimistic as Deace seems to be that Trump is really trying to do the right thing, but he's just a "neophyte" whose trying to sort through a lot of conflicting advice. You just don't get to be 70 years old and be that kind of neophyte if you've been paying attention to anything of significant importance for the past 70 years. And someone who's trying doesn't act the way Donald Trump has acted in the past year (not even getting into the past 70 years), and continues to behave, if you've truly repented of your reprobate ways and genuinely want to do better. Maybe it's all my years in law enforcement, my years in the collections industry, and my years being active in politics (all of these, rubbing elbows with human nature brazenly on display), but color me skeptical.
Yet I have no choice but to give him a chance–to prove me right, or prove me along. I'm along for the ride. Unlike the Leftists who promised to leave America if Trump got elected (then mostly disappointed us by sticking around), I'm not leaving this country I love. I hope that despite all the voluminous evidence that Trump has supplied which indicates he's nothing but a reprobate liberal whose number one priority is boosting himself, he proves me wrong and he will actually press for policies which return this nation to its heritage of righteousness and liberty.
For once in my life, I really want to be wrong. Because if I'm wrong about the kind of man Donald Trump is and the kind of agenda he will pursue (in other words, if he behaves completely different from the way he has behaved for the past several decades), then America will prosper and become healthy again. Because if I'm right about Donald Trump, and he behaves the way he has for the past several decades (and if so-called "conservatives" and "Christians" continue to behave the way they did during the past year), then America is going to continue sliding down into the pit of sewage and destruction, with virtually no one to put on any kind of brakes.
I hope against hope, but experience has taught me not to hold my breath when we have the kind of fruit on the tree that we have to behold. If I have to be a kind of "Jeremiah" for our times (though incredibly lame in comparison), so be it. I continue to hope America will turn back to its Creator…even as I fear it may be too late.

Till Luck Do Us Part 2 Trailer (2013)
After all the trouble in the first film, Tino and Jane have more fun adventures. Still tasting bitter failure, they see a light at the end of the tunnel with uncle Olavinho's unexpected inheritance.

Edmonton's economy, although quite diverse, has been negatively affected by the drop in oil prices, which translated into a decline in an array of sectors for the city in 2015. The economy is expected to struggle through 2016 because investments in most other sectors have followed the same downward trajectory as oil and gas investment.
According to Conference Board of Canada, the city's GDP declined by 1.5% in 2015, and it is projected to contract another 0.6% in 2016 as oil prices remain weak. With the expectation that oil prices will start to climb, Edmonton is projected to see a resumption of growth in 2017, when the GDP is projected to increase by 1.8%.
In 2015, the RevPAR for Edmonton fell sharply by 10.9% to $83.22, down from $93.39 in the previous year. A slight decrease in ADR, a sharp drop in demand, and new supply entering the market resulted in this loss in RevPAR. The same pattern is projected to recur in 2016 with a 15.6% decline in RevPAR, which at $70.22 would be the lowest since 2006.
Consequently, the per-room value for the Edmonton market likewise fell in 2015, by 13.8%. This was greater than the 10.2% drop that we projected in the 2015 HVI because the final year-end performance of the market was softer than anticipated.
For 2016, the per-key value is projected to fall another 18.6% to $109,160, the lowest annual value that we have seen in this market.
Growth in the per-room value is projected to resume in 2018, but the pace of growth is expected to be slow with a large amount of new supply still entering the market—the room supply is expected to increase 10.9% between 2016 and 2019. The new rooms will make it difficult for this market to realize the same performance levels as it had before the downturn in the oil and gas industry. With this loss in value, the Edmonton market is projected to drop from sixth position in 2015 to the rank of sixteenth in 2019 with a per-room value of $115,530.
