Özil's perceptive and selfless passing will be hard for Republic of Ireland to contain
Arsenal midfielder stung by treatment in Spain but still remains central to Germany's campaign to win fourth World Cup

Dwarfed a little by the set-up at a Mercedes dealership in Cologne which appeared to have been inspired by New York's Guggenheim, Mesut Özil seemed reticent yesterday as the German pressed him for latest thoughts on the Republic Ireland, Real Madrid and Arsenal. He is, you got the sense, a walking example of a player who likes to do his talking on the pitch.
If he gets even half a chance to do that at the Rhein Energy Stadium tonight, though, Noel King and his players are likely to be in for quite a night of it.
The game comes just a day short of the anniversary of the thumping the Germans handed Ireland back in Dublin and even if the thought never crossed the interim manager's mind that night that he might be in charge for the return fixture, he probably recognised that stopping Özil would be key to avoiding a repeat performance.
Intervening months
Nothing that the 24-year-old – he'll turn 25 on Tuesday – has done since in the intervening months is likely to have changed his mind.
Tonight's game will be the Arsenal midfielder's 50th for his country and it comes on close to home turf, with the grandson of a Turkish immigrant having grown up in the industrial city of Gelsenkirchen, barely 60 kilometres from Cologne.
He started to make his name at hometown club Schalke 04 before spending a couple of years with Werder Bremen, a spell that ended abruptly when he stole the show in a couple of German games at the 2010 World Cup and Real Madrid decided to come calling before it was too late.
A triumph
His time in Spain was , by any standards, something of a triumph with the left-footed midfielder making an earlier-than-expected impact due to injuries to others and then shining to such an extent that he simply couldn't be dropped. Over three years he laid on more than 70 goals for team-mates, more than a third of them for Ronaldo and looked entirely central to the team's set-up until Carlo Ancelotti's arrival in the summer.
The Italian's true view on the purchase of Gareth Bale and the sale of Özil for roughly half that amount is difficult to discern as he has tended to loyally follow his employers' line down the years, occasionally defending the apparently indefensible along the way but Joachim Löw describes the decision to sanction his departure as "incomprehensible" and it is hard to believe that the newly-arrived coach would have let a player his predecessor, Jose Mourinho, described as "unique" go by choice.
Rather, club president Florentino Perez appears to have made the call to sell in order to balance the books. Even at close to €50 million, however,the deal looks a spectacularly bad bit of business, perhaps the club's worst since Claude Makelele was allowed to leave for Chelsea a decade ago.
Creative heart
Özil, as has been amply highlighted both by Arsenal's games since he arrived and several of Madrid's since he left, provides a creative heart to a team, with his perceptive and selfless passing a priceless asset when it comes to opening up teams that have come, as Ireland no doubt will tonight, hoping to defend and strike on the break.

The Unicellular Ancestry of Animal Development
Developmental Cell, Volume 7, Issue 3, 1 September 2004, Pages 313-325

SummaryThe transition to multicellularity that launched the evolution of animals from protozoa marks one of the most pivotal, and poorly understood, events in life's history. Advances in phylogenetics and comparative genomics, and particularly the study of choanoflagellates, are yielding new insights into the biology of the unicellular progenitors of animals. Signaling and adhesion gene families critical for animal development (including receptor tyrosine kinases and cadherins) evolved in protozoa before the origin of animals. Innovations in transcriptional regulation and expansions of certain gene families may have allowed the integration of cell behavior during the earliest experiments with multicellularity. The protozoan perspective on animal origins promises to provide a valuable window into the distant past and into the cellular bases of animal development.

AbstractThe emergence of multicellular organisms from single-celled ancestors – which occurred several times, independently in different branches of the eukaryotic tree – is one of the most profound evolutionary transitions in the history of life. These events not only radically changed the course of life on Earth but also created new challenges, including the need for cooperation and communication between cells, and the division of labor among different cell types. However, the genetic changes that accompanied the several origins of multicellularity remain elusive. Recently, the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) endorsed a multi-taxon genome-sequencing initiative that aims to gain insights into how multicellularity first evolved. This initiative (which we have termed UNICORN) will generate extensive genomic data from some of the closest extant unicellular relatives of both animals and fungi. Here, we introduce this initiative and the biological questions that underpin it, summarize the rationale guiding the choice of organisms and discuss the anticipated benefits to the broader scientific community.

Synthetic multicellularity
The ability to synthesize biological constructs on the scale of the organisms we observe unaided is probably one of the more outlandish, yet recurring, dreams humans have had since they began to modify genes. This review brings together recent developments in synthetic biology, cell and developmental biology, computation, and technological development to provide context and direction for the engineering of rudimentary, autonomous multicellular ensembles.

Book Description:Contemporary Indians, says G. N. Devy, seem to be afflicted by a sense of amnesia in relation to literary history . The affliction is more severe, he feels, in the sphere of literary criticism, not only because older texts are generally unavailable, but also because modern India has lost touch with both the language and the ethos of the critical texts of ancient and medieval India. Students of Indian literature need to have access to India s critical tradition. This volume takes a step towards providing it and giving teachers, students, and scholars-in-the-making easy access to some of the key concepts and ideas in the Indian tradition of literary theory. In doing so it brings together in one volume some of the most significant literary thinkers in the Indian tradition of the last two thousand years.

United HospitalMinnesota Robotic Surgery Center at United HospitalRobotic surgery for gynecologic conditionsTo learn more about GYN robotic surgery at United Hospital, call the da Vinci Coordinator at Related linksMany women will experience problems affecting their uterus (womb) or other reproductive organs at some point in their lives. In fact, one in three women in the United States will have surgery to treat uterine disorders before she turns 60 — including fibroid tumors, endometriosis, prolapse and gynecologic cancer. These problems can cause chronic pain, excessive bleeding, infertility or other disabling conditions. FibroidsA uterine fibroid is a common non-cancerous tumor that develops within the uterus, the hollow, muscular organ that holds and feeds a fertilized egg. Fibroids may grow as a single tumor or in clusters. They often increase in size and frequency with age, but then shrink in size after menopause. While not all women with fibroids experience symptoms, common problems can include excessive menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain and infertility. EndometriosisEndometriosis is the noncancerous growth of the uterine lining. It occurs when the tissue that normally lines the uterus grows in other places in the pelvic cavity causing pain, irregular bleeding and infertility. Uterine prolapseUterine prolapse occurs when the muscles and connective tissues that hold pelvic organs in place become weakened. The uterus may fall or slip from its usual position into the vaginal canal, causing discomfort, pressure and pain. Gynecologic cancerGynecologic cancer can occur in the ovaries, cervix, uterus or another part of the reproductive system. The risk of getting gynecologic cancer increases as women age. With regular checkups and early detection, many gynecologic cancers can be diagnosed and treated before they become life threatening. If it is not possible to correct a gynecologic condition with medication or other methods, doctors traditionally recommend either open abdominal surgery or laparoscopic surgery. However, da Vinci® robotic surgery is fast becoming the preferred option for treating many gynecologic conditions. In some cases, for example, when a woman has dense scarring from previous operations, robotic surgery is the only alternative to open surgery. Our world-class surgeons have performed over 1,000 surgeries using the da Vinci robot. Physicians at United Hospital trained to perform robotic surgery for obstetrics and gynecologic conditionsTo learn more about GYN robotic surgery at United Hospital, call the da Vinci Coordinator at Related linksThe procedureTo learn more about GYN robotic surgery at United Hospital, call the da Vinci Coordinator at Related linksDuring robotic surgery, the surgeon sits at a console a few feet from the patient and another member of the surgical staff stands at the operating table with four, jointed robotic arms overhead. The surgeon makes several small incisions, and inserts a tiny camera and miniature surgical instruments through the openings. The camera provides a detailed view of the pelvic cavity on a color monitor, while the robotic arms work with great precision at the surgeon's command. The surgeon controls every delicate movement of the micro-instruments at all times. Using this advanced technology, surgeons can now handle a wider range of cases, and carry out even the most complex procedures with improved accuracy and very little damage to surrounding tissue. HysterectomyA hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus. U.S. doctors perform about 600,000 hysterectomies every year; at least one third of these operations are to remove fibroids. Sometimes a hysterectomy can be performed through the vagina. However, when the uterus is enlarged — for example, from fibroids or cancer — an abdominal hysterectomy is recommended. In some cases, doctors also remove the ovaries because the hormones they release may be contributing to the condition. MyomectomyA myomectomy is the surgical removal of uterine fibroids. This procedure preserves the uterus and is a common alternative to a hysterectomy for women who may want to become pregnant in the future. A traditional myomectomy is performed through a large abdominal incision. After removing each fibroid, the surgeon carefully repairs the uterus to minimize potential bleeding, infection and scarring. Proper repair of the uterus is critical to reduce the risk of uterine rupture during pregnancy. About 65,000 myomectomies are performed each year in the United States. SacrocolpopexySacrocolpopexy is a surgical procedure used to correct uterine prolapse or vaginal vault prolapse – a condition that causes these pelvic organs to fall or slip out of place. The surgeon uses a synthetic surgical mesh to hold the vagina and uterus in the correct position and provide long-term support. An estimated 200,000 sacrocolpopexies are performed in the United States each year. The vast majority take place through an open incision. Robotic surgery vs. traditional surgeryFor many years, doctors have successfully treated gynecologic conditions with surgery. Depending on the nature of the problem, a woman may need a hysterectomy, a myomectomy or sacrocolpopexy. Most of these operations are performed using open abdominal surgery, which typically requires a 6- to 12-inch incision in the abdomen to reach the uterus and surrounding area. Women who undergo traditional open surgery often experience significant pain and blood loss, and may need many weeks to recover from the procedure. You might think robotic surgery only happens in science fiction movies, but this state-of-the-art technology is no longer a thing of the future. It is quickly becoming the preferred option for treating many gynecologic conditions. The da Vinci system allows surgeons to perform minimally invasive surgery with more precision than ever before. Benefits of robotic surgeryTo learn more about GYN robotic surgery at United Hospital, call the da Vinci Coordinator at Related linksWhile no woman wants to undergo surgery, many gynecologic conditions are now treatable without a large incision. Robotic surgery offers potential benefits for both patients and their doctors. Benefits for women
Robotic surgery is especially effective for more challenging procedures like radical hysterectomy to remove cancer. Because each patient and each procedure is unique, the benefits may vary. Talk to your doctor to find out if robotic surgery is an option for you. Our patients and their storiesObstetrics/gynecology: da Vinci robotic surgery: Bobbi's storyBobbi Bade suffered from pelvic pain and could not conceive a child. Normal therapies offered little hope for Bobbi and her husband to have children. Then Bobbi met Eric English, MD, an obstetrics/gynecology surgeon at United Hospital. Dr. English offered Bobbi a chance to relieve her pain and restore her fertility using a new surgical technique with the da Vinci robot. Obstetrics/gynecology: Removal of uternine fibroidsDuring her annual physical exam, Forest Lake resident Jeannette Wittrock talked with her family physician about her heavy, long menstrual bleeding. She had uterine fibroids, noncancerous tumors of the uterus, a condition that often runs in families. |

RE: installing rjb on windows [ reply ]
2011-11-11 10:25
Hi Pei
Thanks for your article, it's nice and good for people don't like VC (and also for me who prefers VC on Windows and dislike cygwin nor mingw).
But I have a question.
According with my jni_md.h what sits in %JAVA_HOME%\include\win32 has a line:
typedef __int64 jlong;
So it may require type __int64 for jlong type to call JNI functions at compile time, thank Sun and Oracle for forcing to use VC.
Current MingW gcc has defined __int64 as like VC ?

I suppose that you may be better to ask RubyGem team.
Because as you wrote, 'no error report" by RubyGem and RubyGem told you 'RubyGem version error'. The confliction was caused by RubyGem not Rjb.
BTW, you better to tell what is your JDK version, JAVA_HOME environmental variable, the type (version) of your rubydll (mswin32-6 or -9 or -10) .

I tried latest gem (1.7.2) and rjb-1.3.4-x86-mswin32-60, and got no error.
So It's better to 'gem update --system' I think.
BTW, in gem, Makefile is generated by ruby itself with mkmf.rb and rbconfig.rb accoding your environment. So I believe that you don't need to concern it. In my experience, I succeeded with VC++6, VC++10 and GCC 4 (on Mac OSX and Ubuntu).

Hi arton;
Me again.
As you requested, I set up another machine with Ruby 1.87. It has taken a couple of days trying to get all the gems to now match-up.
I installed the rjb-1.3.4-x86-mswin32-60 gem that you compiled for me.
I ran a test. Good news is that I no longer get the system error. But I do get a funky error in the server log:
Gem::LoadError (RubyGem version error: rjb(1.3.0 not >= 0)
In upgrading to the new gems, my gem version is now 1.6.2.
*** OK, I may have gotten that fixed -- downgraded ruby gems to 1.5.3. [**I'm leaving the above comments in this message because I don't know if it has impacted my system and causing that below.**]
Now I'm back to the same old "can't create Java VM" runtime error.
On this new machine, JAVA_HOME = c:\Java\jdk1.6.0_24
But the jvm.dll is in: C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_24\jre\bin|client.
Path includes both "C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_24\bin" and "C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_24\jre\bin".
This is still a Windows XP machine. I have not installed MinGW on it yet (since I could never get it to compile your gem on the old machine anyway).
In googling, I've have read a lot where developers have gotten your gem to run on XP and I have also read some posts saying you had to have MS VC++ 6.0 installed. Does your "make" specifically require MinGW. If I load a different C++ compiler will your "make" work with it?
Please just point me in the right direction.
thanks again

>The procedure entry point rb_str_set_len could not be located in the DLL MSVRT-ruby18.dll
Ummm, It seems Rjb is not 1.8.6 compatible, that means Rjb uses Ruby C API supported 1.8.7 or later.
> I had read in a number of areas that rjb didn't work with Java jdk1.6.0
I believe it's not true, because I (as the author of Rjb) built and run Rjb with JDK 1.6.0_24.
Then, the problems are
- Rjb requires Ruby 1.8.7 or later.
- Also RubyGem does, because 'no such file to load -- rubygems\defaults\operating_system' means RubyGem didn't find necessary library for RubyGem.
So the most preferable way is to update ruby to 1.8.7 or later, if you can.
Or if it's impossible, I'll try to find the way to run Rjb with 1.8.6 using another API or be introduced some limitaion.

I re-installed the rjb-1.3.4-x86-mswin32-60 file that you built for me.
"Gem" says it installed OK.
When I try to run a test program with it, I get the following:
Error: Ruby.exe Entry Point Not Found
"The procedure entry point rb_str_set_len could not be located in the DLL MSVRT-ruby18.dll"
That's s windows message.
In the server log I get;
Load Error (127: The specified procedure could not be found.
Your command line entries "ruby -d -rubygems -rrjb -e 'p Rjb::VERSION'
and "ruby -d -rubygems -rrjb -e 'p Rjb::load"
both return:
Exception 'Load Error' at c:\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\rubygems.rb:1113
no such file to load -- rubygems\defaults\operating_system
Exception 'LoadError' at ruby:0 - no such file to load -- rjb
I tried this with both
1) -rrjb
2) -rrjb-1.3.4-x86-mswin32-60
By the way, I had read in a number of areas that rjb didn't work with Java jdk1.6.0 even though Oracle says 1.6 is totally backwards
compatible. So I installed Java/jdk1.5.0_22.
Still didn't work.
None of the gems will work in script/console or irb when I call
Rjb::load(classpath) or Rjb::add_classpath(File.expand_path(... and then Rjb::load
(I get the can't create JVM error.)
Somehow I have this screwed up royally. But I really need your gem badly. I really appreciate your help.
thank you

Hi Michael
I'd like to know the detail of 'It did not work with Ruby 1.8.6'.
Would you please post the command line output of "ruby -d -rubygems -rrjb -e 'p Rjb::VERSION'" and "ruby -d -rubygems -rrjb -e 'p Rjb::load'" .

Hello arton;
I guess I need some more help. I did load the win32 pre-compiled gem you sent me. It did not work with Ruby 1.8.6.
I then installed an older version, and it would never run (could not create JVM). Path and JAVA_HOME are correct.
So I downloaded and installed MinGW.
Them tried gem install -r rjb. It still fails (error message was ... "long long long" too big for long. In jniwrap.h.
So I downloaded 1.3.4.zip, unzipped it, ran ruby setup.rb config (it worked). The ran ruby setup.rb setup. It failed. Again erro message was jniwrap.h:24:19: error" 'long, long, long' is too long for GCC and jniwrap.h:24:1: warning: useless type name in empty declaration.
Will you please head me in the right direction?
I don't know which button to press now.
Thanks you
Michael Kruger

Thanks for answering, and so quickly.
and, CHEERS to you.

You have some options. I believe the best way is to install mingw ruby (windows-installer), and build your own gem with mingw.
But I've built mswin32-60 gem for you.
One caveat is I have no 1.8.6, so the gem was built with 1.8.7 and I believe its binary compatiblity but not sure.

I have Win XP development machine. Ruby 1.8.6, Sun Java SE SDK installed at c:\Java\jdk1.6.0_24. JAVA_HOME is "c:\Java\jdk1.6.0_24" and path includes JAVA_HOME\bin.
gem install rjb generates an apparently common error,
ERROR:: Failed to build gem native extension.
checking for jni.h...no
*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason....
1) IS there a gem to be installed with gem
command for WINDOWS?
2) I've googled and read a lot of threads to no avail but did find something saying I had to have Visual C++ 6.0 installed in order
to compile the c headers on install. Is this so? Do the C programs need to be compiled on the machine being installed upon?
3) If so, is there any guidance on how to do this? And what are the actual requirements for the gem?

Yes. They looked cel-shaded, if I'm right. If anything, they weren't in the MLP style. Not that I don't like it, but only one style in one place seems better to me. Not complaining, through.

What is with a lot of Anti Bronies saying that Bronies have Autism as if to insinuate it as a form of mental retardation? It's not even that they're using it to cyberbully and troll others, they genuinely believe that those with such a disorder are meant to be looked down upon as a bunch of Christian Weston Chandlers.
As one with Aspergers and high functioning even with it, no amount of face palms can express how much I LOATHE this mindset and it's spreading like the plague. I really makes me want to punch somebody.
I honestly think that you've run into a particularly offensive group of trolls trying to set a new record for how many targets they can hit at once. It happens to a lot of minority groups, like people with autism, homosexuals, etc. I can't explain why they feel like being in these groups would be shameful, because it's obviously nothing to be ashamed of, but some people are just too ignorant (or pretending to be for the purposes of trolling, at least).
Hopefully, most people that run across these arguments are going to recognize that these arguments are baseless and created out of malice. The best advice is really to just ignore them, since the only way their words have any power is when they get attention.
Mod note: To keep this a friendly place for conversation I think it's best sticking to discussing the show, art, and etc. Not the "Anti Bronies" seeing as this could possibly get offensive.
The Return of Discord also means the return of John De Lancie! Liked him as William Miles (Assassin's Creed 3) and Agent DarkBootie (Invader Zim).
i'm in ure threads creating pegasai sh*tstorms.
Also, pony cons. Are people interested in these sorts of things? There's one being thrown here in the DC area in March called Cloudsdale Congress (Cloudcon for short) I'll be there if anyone wants to see me! Come check it out.
^Jeez louise, CANNOT UNSEE!
You mean they have Sh*t storms and that's fine but break out the cotton candy clouds and chocolate rain and you get turned to stone? Trollestia gonna troll.

Electrolux Complaint - Electrolux is electroJUNK
Review by
Comments (7)
We purchased an Electrolux french door refrigerator and a built in dishwasher in July 2010. The dishwasher and the refrigerator both have broken down and flooded our kitchen--the dishwasher twice--once before it was repaired and once after it was repaired.
The refrigerator door doesn't close properly--they say it's a design flaw and the ice-maker chooses when it wants to make ice which is sometimes never. When it does make ice, it's soft and very ugly---another design flaw they say.
The first dishwasher was rusted out so they replaced it. The second dishwasher has broken down 5 times and with all the repairs, continues to break down and not clean the dishes or pots and pans.
Electrolux says we have to work thru Spencers Appliance in Scottsdale and that we have no recourse to them. Spencers isn't happy because they only sold the appliances, and to quote them "we didn't make them".
No end in sight to our appliance problems except perhaps selling for JUNK>

How utterly pitiful is this story? They aren't even 6 months old. Very helpful complaint and I'm sorry for your loss (of your $).
Posted by Venice09 on 2011-01-06:
I agree, this is a disgrace. I'll say it again. Electrolux should have stuck with vacuum cleaners just as Maytag should have stuck with washing machines. Branching out seems to have been the kiss of death for both companies.
Posted by Anonymous on 2011-01-06:
My mother has an Electrolux fridge, double oven, and vacuum. The fridge doors will not close right (after less than a year old), the oven has had to be replaced twice due to electrical issues (and the third one has the same problem!!!), and the vacuum has fallen apart in less than 6 months, and she uses the thing maybe once a week at most. Electrolux seems to have a good customer service department, but I can not believe how many flaws are in their products! Incredible.
Posted by Venice09 on 2011-01-07:
Nicole, I'm disappointed to hear that Electrolux can't even make a good quality vacuum cleaner anymore. I remember a time when Electrolux was THE vacuum cleaner, just as Maytag was THE washing machine. Times sure have changed.
Posted by Anonymous on 2011-01-07:
I know Venice, it's a darn shame. I hate to say it but it seems that a lot of products have gone down hill. Not sure if you have kids, but look at children's toys for example - most seem to be so cheaply made. One of the repairmen that came out to fix my mom's appliances told her that appliances are built to last around 3 years...I don't know if there is any truth to that, but with a lot of things it seems to be!
Posted by Venice09 on 2011-01-07:
My kids are grown so I haven't bought toys in a long time, but I can only imagine how the quality has declined. I have toys and games here that have been around for 20+ years and are still in good shape (waiting for grandchildren).
Judging by the complaints here alone, three years is probably accurate. Worse than all the wasted money is wondering where all these broken appliances end up. For a country that is so concerned with recycling, no one seems to care how much stuff is thrown away prematurely.

Skier Mikaela Shiffrin was born on March 13, 1995, in Vail, Colorado. Following a training schedule that placed a heavy emphasis on drills, she won a prestigious junior event in 2010 and the first of consecutive U.S. slalom titles in 2011. In 2013, Shiffrin won the slalom gold medal at the World Championships and became the youngest woman in 39 years to claim the season title in the discipline. She also won a gold medal at the 2014 Winter Olympics in slalom,
"When I ski, it's like a song. I can hear the rhythm in my head, and when I start to ski that rhythm and I start to really link my turns together, all of a sudden there's so much flow and power that I just can't help but feel amazing."
the youngest person in history to accomplish the goal.
Mikaela Shiffrin was born on March 13, 1995, in Vail, Colorado. Parents Jeff and Eileen were both competitive skiers before turning to their medical careers, and Shiffrin learned the sport on a pair of plastic skis in her driveway at age 2.
After the family moved to New Hampshire in 2003, Shiffrin honed her skills through sessions with coach Rick Colt at Storrs Hill Ski Area, and with coach Kirk Dwyer at Burke Mountain Academy in Vermont. Unlike her peers, who competed in races whenever possible, Shiffrin spent much of her time perfecting her techniques through hours of repetitive drills.
Early Success
Shiffrin captured the attention of the international ski community with her slalom victory at Trofeo Topolino in 2010, making her the first American girl to win at Italy's prestigious junior event since Lindsey Vonn in 1999.
Shiffrin notched her first NorAm victory in a combined event in December 2010, and fought off illness to snag a bronze medal at the Junior World Championships a few weeks later. Shortly after making her World Cup debut in March, she won the slalom event at the U.S. National Championships.
International Acclaim
Shiffrin joined the World Cup competition full time for the 2011-12 season, touring Europe with her mom in tow to cook and help with her studies. The arrangement proved a success, as she earned her first World Cup medal with a slalom bronze in December 2011 and was named the circuit's rookie of the year. Shiffrin also successfully defended her slalom title at the 2012 U.S. Championships.
Any notion of Shiffrin needing time to catch up to the competition was shattered by her first World Cup slalom victory in December 2012. She won three more World Cup slalom events that season, as well as the gold medal at the 2013 World Championships. At the conclusion of the season, she became the youngest woman in 39 years to claim the overall slalom title.
Shiffrin's graduation from Burke Mountain Academy in June 2013 served as a reminder that her career was still in its early stages. However, with her victory at the World Cup slalom opener in November 2013, she was also seen as a strong contender for a medal in the 2014 Sochi Olympics.
2014 Sochi Winter Olympics
At age 18, Shiffrin competed in the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. Having already won the title of slalom world champion—the youngest in history—the year prior, all eyes were on the young competitor. Shiffrin dominated her first run, and while she nearly crashed during her second run, she recovered in time to complete the course. With a time of 1 minute and 44.54 seconds, Shiffrin took home the gold medal in women's slalom, the youngest winner in Olympic history for that category. She was also the first American to win the event in 42 years.

Mercury, the planet of communication, transportation, manual dexterity, stops motion and begins its travel backward in the sky ("goes retrograde") beginning Wednesday June 26, 2013. This time, the retrograde motion happens in the nurturing, sensitive, water sign of Cancer; however, regardless of the sun sign, my cautions are always the same. With the sluggishness of retrograde, energy may be blunted and snafus can occur. Project initiation/creation would be best delayed if possible –- if not, be meticulous; be careful.

On Wednesday, March 20, 2013 the Sun moves into the dynamic first sign of the Tropical Zodiac – fiery Aries. The Sun has transited all 12 Astrology signs and the cycle starts anew.

Another "first" for 2013 – the first Mercury Retrograde period officially began on Saturday February 23 and continues until March 17, 2013. It occurs 3 times annually and this time, our Communication planet goes backward in the sensitive, imaginative, impressionable Water sign of Pisces. Mercury is not just associated with reading and writing, but is also connected to travel and transportation, education, manual dexterity, small electrical gadgets, etc. We just need to pay extra attention to the details to get thru without too many mishaps.

Yesterday, Monday February 18th, the sun moved into compassionate, dreamy, Pisces, the 12th and final sign of the Zodiac. Its a Water sign ruled by imaginative, mystical Neptune, therefore, remember to pay attention to your dreams (jot them down). The subconscious is a treasure trove of ideas. However, if too much "feeling" leaves you unsettled and fuzzy thinking, focus to stay grounded and connected to reality. Over sensitivity to adverse energy or vibrations is no excuse to drift or evade life. Be steady, be productive, be creative – which can be great for anyone associated with the arts. Innovations regarding music, dance, theater will probably bubble to the surface faster than usual. Read more >
Valentine's Day, Thursday February 14th, isn't just about the flowers and candy. It can also be about acknowledging delightful partnerships. A special someone? Remember that party mixer question from the 70's – "Hey, what's your sign?" That pick up line changed eventually, but it's a valid question if looking for good company.

A dramatic, fun, open and generous Leo Moon sets the tone for any weekend festivities, whether they be planned or unplanned. Exciting "look at me" melodrama is always possible with the fiery 5th sign of the Zodiac and since the Lunar orb is also in its "Full" phase, lit by its opposite Sun in Aquarius, fireworks are possible. Strive for calm. Turn down that theatrical flame a little, try to sparkle in moderation on Saturday and Sunday, if that's even possible. Read more >
It's a Taurus Moon beginning Friday evening January 18, 2013. Feeling beautiful, stubborn and material? It might be the vibrations of this fixed, finance focused Earth sign guided by the elegant, luxury loving planet Venus. There may be choices to be made about weekend plans. Either tackle those finances (taxes anyone?) or indulge yourself (along with a significant other?) with one of those decadent little chocolate cakes with the red raspberry filling! Money vs Romance – remember, not all things are either/or. "AND" can often work very well too. Read more >

Brad Paisley and wife, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, may be taking their wait for overdue baby No. 2 in stride, but there's one Paisley whose patience is wearing thin.
"I think maybe Huck's not buying it anymore," Paisley jokes of the couple's 2-year-old son. "We keep saying, 'You're going to be a big brother,' and I sense he's like, 'Yeah, right! They're full of crap!' "
The newest Paisley was due April 5 - the night of the Academy of Country Music Awards, when Paisley won the top male vocalist honor for the third time. But the delay "is not a big deal," says the Waitin' on a Woman singer. "There's nothing we can do about it. Well, there is, but we're not doing that. We're actually probably going to miss these times when things are simple. I mean you can't put them back!"
Baby watch prevented Paisley, 36, from attending last week's ACM show in Las Vegas, but he managed to bring the party to his home in Franklin, Tenn.
"We ended up having the best time," he says. "Everybody was in town because we expected to have a baby already, so we took a satellite truck out to our farmhouse and had a party. We had about 35 people there. My band was there and my whole family and all the in-laws."

Raise farm-fresh eggs—and herbs and vegetables to enjoy with them – in this space-efficient coop-run-and-planter combination. It's hand built in Washington state from solid western red cedar custom milled by a local, family-run saw mill. A galvanized metal roof keeps the spacious interior dry, while a mesh floor allows manure to fall through, virtually eliminating the need to clean inside the coop. The two nesting boxes are accessible through a drop-down back door at waist height, for easy egg collection. Beneath the coop, a mesh-enclosed run gives hens 25 square feet of space to forage and exercise. The planter box arrives ready to fill with soil and plants and is equipped with a drainage system that keeps water from falling into the run below.

Sixth Annual Vans Downtown Showdown In The Books!
Posted 10/03/2010 10:17:09 by
Ladies and Gentlemen, your two time top am winner Nick Merlino. Following, please find some epic photos by Ray Zimmerman and some not so epic photos and babbling by George Crosland
Congratulations to Vans for throwing another banging event, the Downtown Showdown version 6.0. Vans proved, once again, that they can throw the best events, guess they know what they are doing since they've been in the game since 1966.
Zero Bloodbath runner up Guillaume Mocqui boosts while overall winner Vincent Alvarez sets up
Vans brought together the greatest pros and the greatest teams, built four great obstacles and basically threw a party. It was all smiles at the event today, everybody had a great time. Well, there may have been 10 grumpy people there but they are probably jerks any way, the other 99.9% of the people had a raging time. The action was impressive as was the free food and drinks for everyone, including In and Out burgers! Four obstacles, four 30 minute jams is more or less how the winners were decided. Being a team event, there had to be 2 members of each team per obstacle. Substitutions were allowed, for example, Chris Cole filled in when Jamie Tancowny got hurt on the F'd Up Stair Set
Pretzel Grip Times Trail Classic winner Omar Hassan
Epic shot of obstacle winner Chris Cole warming up with a backside flip on Black Label's Off The Wagon
In all the good times Nick Merlino walked alway with top am honors, again and Vincent Alvarez was the top pro. There where whispers that Chris Cole could have won and while Chris Cole did crush 2 events where as Vincent skated well in three (or was it four?). Team Pretzel Grip won it for best team. Wait, team Pretzel Grip, what's that? It's basically the guys that went on the Beauty and The Beast tour but we got Tony Trujillo to elaborate on the 2010 Vans Downtown Showdown team champs.
Vans: What is Pretzel Grip?
TNT: Pretzel Grip is a way of life and an exciting experience for anyone that has experienced Pretzel Grip. That's the Philosophy.
Vans: Who makes up the team?
TNT: Oh, well, pretty much all of the Girl and the Anti Hero teams
Vans: How did you feel about the Showdown?
TNT: I actually had a good time. If we get to design something next time, that'd be great but if not, you know, we'll come back and have a good time.
Vans: Your backside air on the Bloodbath was insane
TNT: Yea, I had to wait for the right one
Vans: You stoked you made the trip down here?
TNT: Yea, I had a good time, and now we are going down to San Diego to skate pools
You don't get more legendary than Tony Alva and Steve Van Doren
Frank Gerwer, Billy Marks and Ronnie Creager
The Pretzel Grip Time Trial Classic kicked off things in the extraordinary mini bowl/race track. Skaters dropped, did 4 laps (8 walls) and did a trick over the bumps while crossing the finish line, motocross style. Basically, it was a timed event, fastest man won. A few extra hundo's were thrown out to Steve Reeves for being clocked at 24 mph as well as Tony Trujillo and Elijah Berle for best tricks. Not the most serious of events but skateboarding's about fun right, not all cover shots and 16 stairs?
Steve Reeves was clocked at 24 mph in the Times Trial Classic, a new world record for time in the Pretzel Grip time trials!
Omar Hassan - full speed attack
Steve Reeves with the number of the beast on his back which must have been a heavy burden while 3rd place finisher Nolan Monroe shows no fear and stands right next to the one cursed with carrying the number of the beast
always a nice guy - Chris Cole
It took a high level of skill to get a solid two trick combo on the Black Label Off The Wagon. Chris Cole skated and seeing as he is the Skater of the Year and won about every contest out there, it's no surprise that he won this section. What did Chris do to win? Hmm, how much time do you have; kickflip over gap to back lip, switch flip to switch 5-0, ollie over gap to 180 switch feeble...you get the idea. Chris Pfanner crushed it into 2nd and Nick Merlino looked really solid too; a switch switch flip over the gap to switch front board is one of several combo that Nick pulled off.
Chris troy crooks over the Gap of the Black Label Off The Wagon.
Chris Cole, what can you say? One of the best skaters ever? Will he get another SOTY from Thrasher?
Off The Wagon runner up - Chris Pfanner
Nick Merlino
Chris Cole killing!
Jamie Tancowny - tail slide in practice
Tony Trujillo - back 180 over the finish line in the Times Trial Classic after some fast laps. Where's motocross champ Ryan Dungey?
Billy Marks busts out a kickflip to Roast Beef grab and combines modern skating with some 80's radness
Solid, solid, solid - Nick Merlino
Jordan Hoffart - kickflip boardslide
The Zero Bloodbath had a bit of a crash up derby factor since skaters could come at it from all angles. Other than the really rough terrain to get to the obstacle, it was really fun looking. VIncent Alvarez won it and he tells about his tricks in an interview below. Guillaume Mocqui had some very tech tricks to get second and Tony Trujillo skated the piss out of the thing, with maximum style, to get 3rd. It needs to be mentioned that Tommy Sandoval did the gnarliest front 1 all the way to flat.
Guilaume Mocqui teeters on the edge of insanity, doing a crazy ass, tweaked indy foot block to fakie thing on the Zero Bloodbath
Tony Trujillo - front side blunt
According overall DTSD pro winner Vincent Alvarez, this huge method air by TNT was the best trick of the night
Doubles and yes, they both landed it, the crowd erupted. Get it, the thing looks like a Volcano...eruption. Guaranteed that after some late night revelry following the event plus some consuming of Pinks hot dogs or Roscoes chicken and waffles, there were likely other types of eruptions in the am hours of Sunday morning
These excellent photographs should help you understand the Zero Bloodbath obstacle; a volcano with a bank to bank gap. The fact that Nick Merlino is in the photo is a bonus
Tommy Sandoval - front flip
Daniel Lutheran lip slides around the whole thing, a trick that defied logic and bent minds
Vincent Alvarez back lips and what the hell is Steve Reeves doing, a frontside pivot on that gnarly curved rail?
Omar Hassan shows why he has been in the skate business for 20 whatever years - Madonna in a crazy spot
The Foundation F'd Up Stair Set was won by Nick Merlino with some tailslide variations and other tricks. Nick was one of the few to skate all four obstacles and, even though Nick won best am, had he been pro, he would have been a contender for top pro. This obstacle was basically a series of hubbas and ledges down, what would be a massive stairs set. Save the craziest obstacle for last, a finale, if you will. The skaters could go huge and clear the whole kit or approach slowly and work some tech wizardry; the options were endless. Hats off to Nick to skating all night and getting some well deserved prize money. Great to see Garrett Hill on the podium in second place. Chris Cole came in for an injured Jamie Tancowny, who went down on an ollie all the way to flat on the side of ramp. Chris rounded out the podium.
Vincent Big Spins the Foundation F'd up Stair Set
Jake Duncombe - gap to blunt
There's Nick Merlino again and no we don't have crush on him, he just skated so well he's popping up in all the photos
Pretzel Grip Times Trial Classic winners, Nolan Monroe, Steve Reeves and Omar Hassan flanked by announcers Jeff Pang and Vern Laird
Nick Merlino, Chris Cole and Chris Pfanner took Black Labels Off The Wagon
Tony Trujillo and Vincent Alvarez of Zero Bloodbath fame, sorry that Guillaume Mocqui is missing from the photo, the podium scene was chaotic
Nick Merlino, Chris Cole and Garrett Hill of the Foundation F'd Up Stair Set. Also in the photo is Brian Schaffer, of Skatepark of Tampa, who pretty much ran and mc'd the event
Top am Nick Merlino and top pro Vincent Alvarez
Team Pretzel Grip representatives Chris Pfanner and Tony Trujillo
Why not send it off with a photo and mini interview of event winner Vincent Alvarez? Is Vincent the only winner? Pretty much anyone who showed up was a winner and everybody in the world is a winner in their own own way, hug the person to your left and check back next year. As usual, The Vans Downtown Showdown was one of the best events all year
Vincent Alvarez
Vans: So did you come to Paramount today expecting to win?
Alvarez: No, not at all, I just was super hyped just to skate in this
Vans: How does it feel, you're up there with a pretty heavy field
Alvarez: Yea, I'm pretty psyched
Vans: Can you name 5 tricks that you put down to help put you on top?
Alvarez: Over the Zero Bloodbath gap - the backside 180, the switch ollie, the half cab to back 5-0 on the Foundation F'd Up Stair Set, on the Black Label Off the Wagon I did the crook to fakie and the switch 180 to backside 5-0 on the rail, The nollie half cab to the F circle to switch roll down
Vans: What are you going to do with all the new found wealth?
Alvarez: I don't know, save it, help out some family, it's sick though
Vans: Who else was throwing it down?
Alvarez: Tony Trujillo, Jake Duncombe...everybody

Chantelle Houghton has reportedly walked out on Alex Reid just weeks before their baby is due.
The reality TV star - who is eight months pregnant - is said to have told friends ''enough is enough'' and quit the couple's £600,000 house to live in her two-bedroom flat, where she has been sleeping on the floor for the past four nights because there is no bed.
One of Chantelle's friends said: ''She is absolutely devastated. She is in a complete state. She has moved back into her flat where she feels safe. She won't tell any of us what Alex has done.
''There are some very worried people. She's eight months pregnant and is holed up in a flat on her own without even a bed to sleep on.''
Chantelle - who confirmed earlier this month that her wedding to the cage fighter ''won't be happening'' this year, next year or in 2013 - moved into her and Alex's four-bedroom house in Brentwood, Essex, just one month ago, and he friends believe something ''catastrophic'' must have happened for her to leave so quickly.
Another pal told The People: ''Whatever happened must be catastrophic because she'd never have fled her home for no good reason.
''Her close friends are deeply concerned but she's so upset she can't bear to tell anyone why she's been forced into this situation.''
The blonde beauty is thought to have moved out of the couple's house on Wednesday (16.05.12), the same day she wrote a cryptic message on twitter.
She wrote: ''Karma is a bitch and I'm so glad it is cos people only find out how much of a bitch it is when its too late and they've hurt u (sic)''
A source added: ''Her primary concern is her baby. So close to the birth Chantelle is doing everything she can to make sure her unborn daughter is OK.
''She felt getting away from Alex after his recent behaviour was the best way to make sure of this.
''Chantelle feels safe at the flat. She's lived there happily for years and enjoys being there, even though it is unfurnished. There have been some problems in their relationship recently and now she has realised that enough's enough.
''Her friends think there is no way back this time. Nobody thinks she will take him back now.''
