Today's Ask Tony and Tucker question comes from Tanya LaNice from Silver Spring, MD. Her question is about how a person develops into a right-handed or left-handed when they write or do other things. She wants to know: "In sign language, is that the case? Is there the same proclivity to use a certain hand more? If so do all signers have to use the same hand so that it does not appear backwards to the person looking?"

9Kathy Griffin Isn't Sorry for Acting Like a Ho on National Television
Wait, you missed that Kathy Griffin acted like a ho on national television? Because, oh, yeah: Kathy Griffin acted like a ho on national television. Thought you knew.
No, Kathy appeared with David Letterman last night, and when David insinuated that he wanted to discuss Kathy's blowjob simulation, she had this to say:
"If you think this is the part where I'm going to apologise for trying to go down on Anderson Cooper you are sorely mistaken. I tried, ladies and gays, I tried for you."
So, alright. Just when you thought it was safe to say that Kathy Griffin couldn't get any less classless than she already is, she goes and exhibits another level of classlessness by trying to defend her weird, live-televised behavior.
On another note, Anderson Cooper hasn't made any kind of public statements about Kathy's attempt at "trying" to give Anderson Cooper CNN-head. Go figure.

I don't really know why this is news. Being crass is part of her shtick and always has been.
Kathy Griffin is a comediene, she does crazy, funny, off color things to make us laugh. Lighten up people.
Is the "lighten up people" directed at me? Strange, given that I'm basically saying that she does sh*t like this as part of her comic routine, and therefore that it's not a big deal. If "lighten up people" is directed at someone else, however, I totally agree with you.
Plus I'm pretty sure she and Anderson Cooper are pretty good friends. I think they hang out at his house and whatnot so he knows what she's like and he knew the risks.
But obviously when you're on live tv you should act appropriately.
Vile, disgusting and filthy; glad she is so proud of herself.
Oh shut up you pompous tw[!]ts. It was funny & they made a good night better. You people need to be on a Fox News board.Lighten up!
You have a 'gossip column,' yet you are turning your nose up at Kathy Griffin's [quite hysterical] performance? Besides, as others have put it, this is quite expected from her. CNN does not hire her year after year because she plays it safe. It was funny, it was harmless, and like others here have aptly said, get over it, folks. If you did not like it, watch another network's NYE's celebrations next year. Me? I'l tune in to Anderson and Kathy for more funny antics.
I wouldn't let her blow me through a tuba. Poster child for French Pox.

Monday, the A's and Astros -- now American League West foes, by the way -- pulled off a five-player trade that figures to strengthen Oakland's lineup and Houston's farm system. Both of which needed some strengthening.
This seems to me a pretty fair deal. Which is to say it's like the great majority of deals, since the people who run baseball teams aren't generally stupid, and to the degree that you can judge a deal uneven upon its consummation, you might come to the conclusion that instead of being a 50/50 deal, it's 52/48 or 54/46; 60/40 deals -- assuming you had perfect knowledge of all the players involved, along with the organizational dynamics -- are incredibly rare, if not nonexistent.
Anyway, in Jed Lowrie and Fernando Rodriguez, the A's are getting
- an infielder who can hit some and play just about anywhere, but has a devil of a time staying healthy; and
- a 28-year-old righty reliever with good stuff and a tendency to give up walks and home runs; there's a decent chance he won't survive a whole season in the American League, but of course with relievers you never know for sure.
In Chris Carter, Brad Peacock, and Max Stassi, the Astros are getting
- half of a pretty good Designated Hitter platoon;
- a right-handed starting pitcher, just one year removed from ranking as a really hot prospect, but now coming off a season in which he posted a 6.01 ERA in the minors and couldn't crack a suspension- and injury-plagued rotation in Oakland; and
- an (almost) 22-year-old catcher who hit 15 homers in 84 Class A games last season.
Considering the easy availability of pitchers like Rodriguez, this was essentially a 3-for-1 deal. The A's have question marks all over their infield, and among the available players on the trade market, Lowrie was perhaps best equipped to answer some of those questions. Meanwhile, he certainly didn't still figure to be both healthy and affordable for the Astros when they're ready to compete -- with the A's, by the way -- for a division title or a wild card. Leaving aside how it might look to the fans, it made ultimate sense to trade Lowrie for whatever the market might bear.
And it seems to me that three moderately talented young players is probably all the market would bear. I think the only questions is whether you'd rather have three moderately talented young players for Lowrie, or one brilliantly talented young player instead. But that assumes that some club would give up a Grade A prospect for an injury-prone infielder with no real All-Star potential. And that's probably a faulty assumption.
Both clubs did about as well as they could, doing what they needed to do.

Jay Cutler, Brandon Marshall — meet your replacements.
Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels, in typically gutsy and controversial fashion, traded out of both the No. 11 slot and No. 13, stockpiling picks before trading up twice to select Georgia Tech WR Demaryius Thomas 22nd overall and Florida QB Tim Tebow at No. 25.
In little over one year on the job, McDaniels has made it perfectly clear that he's willing to sacrifice players who could help him win now because they are not his type of player. In Thomas and Tebow, he found players that are going to need time — probably a full season at least — to develop before they're ready to realize their potential.
McDaniels is willing to wait.
Tebow fell into an ideal situation. He will not be asked to be a starting quarterback for at least one year and can learn from a quality QB guru in McDaniels while Kyle Orton, and possibly Brady Quinn, take the bulk of playing time. Tebow might get on the field in certain packages — like the "Wildcat" — next season, but he's not going to be put into a situation he's not prepared to handle.
Thomas apparently reminded McDaniels of Marshall, and he'll be expected to contribute from Day One. Denver's biggest need became receiver when Marshall was dealt to Miami, but Thomas, a big, long-armed, soft-handed receiver, won't replace Marshall's production in Year One.
He dropped as far as he did because of concerns from some teams over the broken foot he suffered in February and consequently had surgery to repair.

At its heart, law enforcement agencies across the country say that the sex offender registry is a great resource when used. For example, when people are moving into a neighborhood, or perhaps if they have questions about a neighbor.
"The sex offender registry is a tool, and it's a tool for both law enforcement and the general public," said Lt. Michael Hildebrand with the Greenville County Sheriff's Office. "And just like every tool, when it is used properly, it's a good thing."
But Union County deputies said that registry was used as a tool for evil.
Jeremy and Christine Moody told authorities that they targeted Charles and Gretchen Parker, because Charles was on the sex offender registry, and they were gunning for more sex offenders on the list.
Deputies said the Moodys targeted Parker, claiming he was a "child molester", but authorities said the charge that made him a sex offender in South Carolina involved an adult. According to the sex offender registry, Parker also had another case that went back to 1991, but FOX Carolina has not been able to confirm details on that case.
"I wasn't at all surprised that it happened, unfortunately," said Brenda Jones, director of the group Reform of Sex Offender Laws.
The goal of Jones' organization is to limit public sex offender registries to law enforcement, schools, and only limit informing he public of sex offenders to a 'need to know' basis.
Jones said the murders of Charles and Gretchen Parker should serve as a wake-up call on why sex offenders need protection, and argued that if registries exist, they shouldn't show exact addresses.
"It's public shaming," she said. "People have piled so many things onto it, that the environment of sex offenders, it's like continued probation."
Law enforcement maintains that the sex offender registry is a tool that is beneficial, and is largely used for informative purposes for communities, and it will likely remain that way.
Authorities are also quick to mention that just because someone is on a sex offender registry, it doesn't mean they're a child molester or a rapist.
People can be put on the list for something as little as urinating in public, which can result in a charge of indecent exposure.
"Sometimes that offense is not easily recognizable or understandable by the general public, so when you see that charge or that offense, sometimes you can twist that to make it something that it's really not," Hildebrand said.

We use the latest fiber laser technology to engrave our tags. Many pet tag manufacturers use lower power CO2 laser engravers that do not actually engrave the metal but rather mark or laser bond on the metal. This type of laser marking does leave a clean dark mark but will eventually be illegible as the metal from the tag wears down. We at dogIDs use a high power fiber laser to engrave our tags which actually vaporizes and removes the metal so it is actually engraving instead of marking or laser bonding. This allows us to engrave deeply into the metal with pristine detail and a nice contrasting engrave color...Excellent looks with a true engrave that will NEVER wear off of your dog's tag. Engraving guaranteed for life...PERIOD!Learn more about our free engraving
At dogIDs, our mission is to support and improve the health and safety of furry friends across the world, and give them the unconditional love that they provide us on a daily basis. Each day, we focus on providing high quality, personalized dog products and helpful blog posts to help you and your pet.Learn More

CATEGORIES MoviesNo surprises here. Despite the possibility of a Martin Scorsese upset, Michel Hazanavicius ended up bringing home the Best Director trophy at the 84th annual Academy Awards on Sunday.
This was the first nomination and win for the French director, who burst onto the scene this year with the critical darling, "The Artist," a semi-silent film that captured the rise and fall of George Valentin (Jean Dujardin), a silent movie star coming to grips with the increased popularity of talkies.
"I am the happiest director in the world right now," Hazanavicius said while accepting the award.
Hazanavicius, who also won the Golden Globe for Best Screenplay and Best Director, defeated fellow nominees Scorsese ("Hugo"), Alexander Payne ("The Descendants"), Woody Allen ("Midnight in Paris") and Terrence Malick ("The Tree of Life").

À La Carte Excursions | General Information
Add To Plan
Together with our Bon Appetit Culinary Center master chef , visit the spice and fish market of Tangier, shop for a colorful ceramic tagine and explore Moroccan cuisine in a traditional restaurant near the city center. Later, return to the ship for a cooking lesson on the classic Moroccan dish, tagine.
You will gather in the Bon Appetit Culinary Center for an overview of the day's tour, luncheon menu and cooking class. Your chef will review the ingredients and spices that are used in the classic Moroccan dish, tagine, that you will make later in the day. The tagine is both the name of the savory and sweet stew-like dish of Morocco, as well as the colorful conical-shaped pot that the dish is cooked in.
With your chef, you'll meet our local guide and bus on the pier and travel to the Grand Socco, or central market. You'll pass by the famous Mendoubia Gardens near the Grand Socca square. In its day, this market, or souk as it is called, was the place for meeting, selling and buying in the middle of Tangier. Today, it is still a bustling arena of everything from fish to fresh produce to trinkets. Following a short orientation of the market, you will walk with your tour group to the Sidi Bouaabid' area of the Grand Socco, which is known for spices and ceramic tagines. Here, the chef will purchase Moroccon spices such as ras el hanout, la kama and za'atar for your afternoon class. There will be some free time allotted for shopping for spices and ceramic tagines, as well as other Moroccan specialties. In addition to shopping, you can enjoy a cup of Moroccan tea at a street side café, watching the locals 'make deals' with the vendors. Or, you can explore the colorful stalls of vegetables and spices with our chef and guide.
Continuing on, you will drive to the city center via the residential district and main avenues. There you will dine at the traditional Moroccan restaurant 'Hamadi' with your chef and guide. The menu will include signature dishes such a Harira soup, tagine, vegetable cous cous, bastila and Moroccan tea. Your chef will explain each course and help you distinguish the ingredients and cooking techniques used.
When your lunch is concluded, you'll be transported back to the pier and after a short respite re-group with your tour for a private 60-minute cooking class on Moroccan cuisine. You will master the technique of tagine and leave with a recipe handout of classic Moroccan dishes you can now try at home.
Please note: This tour includes approximately 2-hours of moderate to strenuous walking/standing that includes some uneven surfaces and steps to negotiate. The tour is not available to wheelchair guests and not considered suitable for those with mobility concerns. Weather appropriate clothing; sun cap; sunglasses; and flat, comfortable walking shoes are recommended. Professional cameras and video are not permitted on this tour. The noted tour duration is approximate and includes your classroom session aboard the ship.

From Johannesburg, lesbian footballers chosen to play, choosing to live
Editor's note
To break the FIFA lockdown on a football culture of such vitality that a World Cup can only diminish it, we offer alternative narratives compiled during a trip to South Africa in June–July 2009. This is the first installment from life in the FIFA-free zones.
Within these articles and other segments, we feature tales of football in life and language, interviews, and literary remains. We do not pretend to cover the 32 participating countries, their players or prospects. What we will not say about North Korea would add no more to what has not been said already.
By the end, we hope to leave South Africa a keepsake—the least we can do, now that $19.7 million for World Cup arts initiatives has disappeared.
The trip to South Africa was sponsored by the country's International Marketing Council.
My kind of God lives in the soccer field.
She hits the ferocious shots or sublime free kicks, performs the acrobatic save
She is the best lover anyone can ask for
My god doesn't subscribe to any political party or gender
she comes off the soccer boots of Marta
she is a pele
—Tapuwa Moore, 2010
Rustenburg, South Africa | How does one write a love letter to a football team? For a sports journalist the idea sounds improper—perhaps criminal—but it's what I wish to do for Chosen Few Lesbian Soccer Club of Johannesburg.
A year ago the team allowed me, a male interloper from an alternative hemisphere, to accompany them to a friendly match in Rustenburg, North West province, a former Boer settlement in what used to be called the Transvaal.
Chosen Few played a provincial power and lost badly, all the goals permitted in the second half after injuries and fatigue reduced them to eight field players. They lit cigarettes at the end and partook of the team's unique communion rituals. Resampled songs by Michael Jackson, who had died a few days before, pulsed from van speakers. Players passed pre-made cheese sandwiches along with cups of Like Father, Like Son red wine. One said the sweet tonic should be rebranded Like Father, Like Daughter.
The coach, Tapuwa Moore, cursed the club's fitness and lack of cohesion—a vice-captain led the side due to a demoted captain's "unruly behavior." But Moore seemed resigned to their fate.
"A 6–1 drubbing," she says calmly on the touchline shortly after an uncontested 89th-minute breakaway rips the back of the Chosen Few net. "That's nice."
But these are not the most important facts from the day. The most important thing to know about Chosen Few is that they try to live an honest life in dishonest times. They try to be straightforward about verbal and physical abuse they have suffered and about lives they live inside.
They try to live openly in a world of disguises. That's why there are few of them.
Communication is a core concept for the Forum for the Empowerment of Women, housed at Constitution Hill, the former apartheid-era women's prison in Johannesburg. From a place of confinement women learn how to become advocates for themselves and others. FEW was founded in 2002 to counter a culture of hate plaguing black lesbians and bisexual and transgender women. The football team came later as a means to attract women players who might not have chosen human-rights work as a first occupation. For serving as court monitors at hate-crimes trials and raising their own awareness of the country's anti-gay prejudice, players can enjoy football without keeping secrets. Some participated at demonstrations related to the Eudy Simelane trial in 2009 (see 30 Aug 09).

I love Thin Lizzy I was introduced to them through jailbreak and since then i just can't get enough I have Fighting Nightlife Johnny The Fox, Live and Dangerous, Bad Reputation and Shades of A Blue Orphanage, Vagabonds features Eric Bell Sole guitarist but he does this record justice plenty of great tunes Whisky in the Jar, Vagabonds, and Little Girl In Bloom (my personal Fav) The Harmonies Are Top Notch as for Phil's Ear For Melody And Lyrics that are Heartfelt but The Riffs are classic,and the songs are timeless

Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
Boasting both the definitive Jim Fitzpatrick cover and a diverse lineup of outstanding compositions, "Vagabonds" is easily one of Thin Lizzy's three finest studio albums ("Black Rose" and "Bad Reputation" fill out that triumvirate for this listener). Suffering at times from spare production values, the album still offers a testament to the band's instrumental virtuosity: under-appreciated guitarist Eric Bell is a particular standout, displaying a range running from Beck-like eruptions on "Black Boys…" and "The Rocker," to gritty, authentic blues breaks on "Slow Blues" and "Broken Dreams," to an astonishing pseudo-flamenco feature on "Randolph's Tango." He was also the only credible slide player in Lizzy's axeman pantheon, as "Mama Nature Said" illustrates. "Vagabonds" also displays, to fine advantage, Philip Lynott's uncanny way with a lyric. Lynott also came into his own as a vocalist on this album, after his occasionally dodgy performances on the band's first two platters. The title track and "Gonna Creep Up On You" beg to be covered by a contemporary act (Metallica recently released a cover of the Lizzy-fied "Whisky in the Jar"). "Vagabonds," paired with "Black Rose," offers a forthright homage to Lizzy's Irish origins. Fans of later Lizzy sometimes find the offerings of proto-Lizzy to be sketchy and diffuse. However, any fan who likes the 1981 album "Renegade" should give "Vagabonds" a listen. The earlier disc displays the same diversity of approach as the latter, and the band's musical vision is much more successful (in my opinion) on "Vagabonds."
Back in '73 I'd never heard of Thin Lizzy, but pitchers of their records were in record stores over in Europe & music rags featured ads for something called Tales of [or from] a Blue Orphanage: they were popular on the continent.
In the home where I worked, there in Germany, the 16 year old with the muscular dystrophy had me put the record on the turntable. His big head bobbed over his withered body.
Wow! Whiskey in the Jar, Little Girl in Bloom, even Hero & the Madman: why wasn't this stuff on the college radio station? When I departed for the US of A & home, the kid gave me that record.
So, 30+ years later, after I reduced the vinyl to pops, crackles, & fuzz, I bought the CD: don't where those extree songs are from, but Whiskey in the Jar(oh), My Mama Nature, Song for While I'm Away remain fiery stuff. (Whiskey in the Jar sounds like some 13th-century Meistersaenger ode & it is.) By the time T.L. was on radio, Lynott sounded like Springsteen & was a couple years from dead.
Nope, can't go wrong with Vagabonds: tura lura lura lye.
I agree with the previous reviews that there is not a bad song on this CD. I have had this CD for 7 years and the interesting thing is my personal favorites. When I purchased it, I would always listen to Mama Nature Said, The Hero and the Madman, The Rocker and Whisky in the Jar. Now when I listen to it(and I'm not listening to the entire CD) I always go to a different set of songs(Slow Blues, Black Boys on the Corner and Randolph's Tango). If you are familiar with Metallica's cover of Whisky in the Jar, you need to do yourself a favor and listen to the original.
Don't waste any time. Just buy this. You are a Thin Lizzy fan and this is why. The last LP with Eric Bell and it should be had by you. He is a master and why he left is a mystery to me. Check out the solo on "The Hero And The Madman". You'll be hooked. Phil Lynott is not only a great singer and composer but a very good bass player as well. Very evident on this. Brian Downey is always right on. They are an awesome trio to say the least. "Slow Blues" and "The Rocker" are among the best of any Thin Lizzy tracks anywhere. "Little Girl In Bloom" , "Gonna Creep Up On You", it just goes on and on. There is only one track I skip. You'll be able to tell which one. Although I love the 4th album "Night Life" I think it took awhile for the band to gain the momentum lost after this one. I don't think even "Fighting" was quite as good. It's right up there with "Jailbreak" if you ask me. Buy it.

Lawyer Pay
These BigLaw firms had the highest spreads in partner compensation
Posted Jun 19, 2013 7:10 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
For the first time this year, the American Lawyer has asked the nation's 200 largest law firms to supply figures on the spread in compensation between their top-paid and lowest-paid partners.
The publication received responses from 111 law firms, the American Lawyer reports. For law firms in the top 100, the average spread for partner compensation was 10.5, meaning top-paid partners in this group received an average 10.5 times the compensation of the lowest-paid partner. The median was 9.3.
For law firms in the second-hundred tier, the average spread was 10.3 and the median was 10.1.
The American Lawyer reveals the firms with the highest compensation spreads in a separate chart. These firms had the highest spreads:
1) Lowenstein Sandler, and Vedder Price (a tie), with a compensation spread of 24
2) Fish & Richardson, with a spread of 23.79
3) Perkins Coie, with a spread of 23
4) Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy, with a spread of 20.13
5) Chapman and Cutler, and Moore & Van Allen (a tie), with a spread of 20
6) Loeb & Loeb, with a spread of 19.83
7) Stevens & Lee, with a spread of 19.40
8) SNR Denton, with a spread of 19
9) Barnes & Thornburg, and Patton Boggs (a tie), with a spread of 18
10) Shutts & Bowen, with a spread of 17.70
The five firms with the lowest spreads are Dinsmore (2.20); Fitzpatrick, Cella, Harper & Scinto (3.23); Jenner & Block (3.60); Baker Donelson (3.75), and Kenyon & Kenyon (4.23).

So, Guy Haley, Deathray-humble-editor-
Actually, the principle of absolute honesty and full disclosure compels me to confess an untruthfulness. I don't, actually, like to refer to this magazine as 'The Thray'. It's actually quite hard to get your tongue around that. Like a vocal equivalent of Spock's hand gesture. And talking of Spock's hand gesture: has it occurred to nobody else, on the kimosabe-actually-means-horse's-arse principle, that Spock might have been giving the world a Vulcan swivel-finger? What I mean is: it's occurred to me. Am I alone?
I digress.
So what do we have? There are the Potteroids, up there, on the front cover; Harry smouldering, and Dumbledore (by accident or 'Thray-ish design) reaching with a wizardly right hand for Hermione's left boobie.
I wouldn't have thought that was his thing at all. Inside there's another smouldering pose, with Torchwood-Gwen looking poutingly at the camera, and Editor Haley standing directly below imitating both pose and expression as if eager to ape the Welsh beauty. Does Guy's pout have the same effect as Gwen's? See for yourself:
The 'Children of Earth' Torchwood is one of the 'Deathray 5': 'the month's most intriguing and/or important stuff.' Also '5'd' this month is The Half-Blood Prince, Duncan Jones's above-average Moon movie, Dynamite Entertainment's new 'Buck Rogers' comic and the so-so vampire novel The Strain by Chuck Hogan and Guillermo del Toro.
What else? There's the required spread of news and views; articles on up-and-coming stars of stage and screen called 'The New Gods': Anton Yelchin, Rachel Luttrell, Justin Long and, er, Dan Ackroyd and Andy Serkis, both of whom have surely upped and come long ago. If that image isn't too disgusting. There's an excellent article on French artist Moebius, my single favourite SF imagist—lots of splendid reproductions, including the black and white image that immediately precedes the image at the top of this page. There's a 1984 retrospective; a piece on how professionals apply zombie and devil make-up for the big screen; a 10-page Pottersplurge, 9 pages on Moon's special effects; lots on DC comics and the Art of Mike Perkins; and a great number of images of zombies amongst which is one, though I'm not sure which one, of an unmadeup Danny Dyer. All good.
But it's the book-stuff I'm most interested in, and that happens to be doubleplus good. Partly this is because the book reviews are of a uniformly high standard (though their 2/5 judgment on The Forest of Hands and Teeth is wrongheaded, getting all picky over worldbuilding snags and scythe-pedantry whilst missing the emotional heft: Carrie Ryan's novel is a character and mood piece, not a fitting-all-the-meccano-pieces-together construction exercise). And partly it's because of a handy in-depth interview with Stephen Baxter—very good this, although the interviewer (Haley again) gets a little under-collar-heated at Steve's voice: 'his accent is soft Liverpool, quiet and clever in that John Lennon mould ... the most relaxing Sf author to listen to ... voice like a bath of sexy honey ...' Well, maybe not that last one.
The pièce de résistance, though, is the inclusion of two superior pieces of original fiction—something SFX (for instance) doesn't give its readers. There's 'Bengal Blues' by the criminally good and criminally underrated Eric Brown; a neat little space-age murder mystery; telepathic noir. But good though Brown's story is, the real standout is Al Reynold's 'Monkey Suit'. This Revelation-Space-universe story is almost worth the price of admission by itself.
Reynolds made his reputation as a short-story writer, of course, and although he's all about the Big Novels now 'Monkey Suit' reminds us what made him so notable a Space Operator in the first place. This is how it starts.
A lighthugger is a four-kilometre spike of armour and ablative ice. That's a lot of surface area to search for a lost crewman. Especially when the hull is a craggy, knotted labyrinth of jagged ornamentation and half-abandoned machinery, a place you could lose an army in, let alone a single hull-monkey.The story is a simple but effortlessly paced and readable thing: the narrator takes on a dead man's spacesuit and goes out onto the hull of the 1g accelerating, near-c hurtling lighthugger to undertake repairs, where strange things happen.
The thing that struck me reading this is that, in reviewing Reynolds' work previously, and concentrating my praise on his considerable talents as an entertainer and ideas-merchant, I've rather underplayed how cleverly allusive a writer he is. There are two things about this story that lift it above the ordinary. One is the way the spaceship is troped as a Gothic cathedral—though in a way wholly consonant with physics and engineering: a vast, crenulated, vertical spire upon which the narrator scrambles and clambers. The gargoyle-like captain (an Ultra), death-by-impaling, plague (silver, rather than red, death) and the toying with the notion that Raoul's suit is haunted by its dead former owner: these deliberately Gothic touches neatly primp the creepiness of tone and atmosphere of the whole. Reynolds knows what he is doing. But an even nicer touch, I thought, was the way the suit itself is styled after the Shield of Achilles:
Every significant incident had been recorded in a tiny cameo, painted onto the metal carapace in laborious, loving detail … here a battle scene, bulbous-suited figures on the surface of an asteroid fighting other bulbous-suited figures against a sky of bright vermillion. Here was a ship burning from the inside, against a star-wisped clutch of blue supergiants. Here was a picture of two fearsome cyborgs …Superb. The technical term for this is ekphrasis, and when done well (like the glimpses of deep past underlying The Lord of the Rings, or the attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion that exist in the two hour film only for the three seconds it takes Hauer to speak this line and yet which stick more potently in the mind than any of it) it generates enormous vividness and affect.
On the other hand, I don't know from where 'HE TOLD ME TO DO IT' is quoted. So, alas, my review ends in fail.

Bradon Marshall turned in a decent fantasy football effort on Sunday vs. the Redskins. The Dolphins wide receiver caught seven passes for 98 yards but did not score a touchdown. Reggie Bush was busy hogging all Miami's fantasy football stats with both of the Dolphins touchdowns.
The yards were there for Marshall but the lack of a score gave him no more than an average output.
Marshall had 644 receiving yards on the season with 2 receiving touchdowns entering Week 10. Marshall was averaging 81 yards receiving per game. Marshall's receiving yards per game was up nearly 10 yards per game from last season.
Marshall was ranked as the 12th ranked wide receiver according to Yahoo! heading into his match up with the Cleveland Browns who ranked 11th against the pass, giving up 219 passing yards per game.

Moscoso optioned, Young to bereavement list
Pitcher Ottavino, utility man Pacheco recalled
The Rockies optioned right-hander Guillermo Moscoso to Triple-A Colorado Springs and placed outfielder Eric Young Jr. on the bereavement list, while recalling right-hander Adam Ottavino and infielder/catcher Jordan Pacheco from Triple-A on Saturday.
Moscoso, who competed in Spring Training for a rotation spot, was brought up on April 28 to take the roster spot of Jeremy Guthrie, who is on the 15-day disabled list with a right shoulder sprain. Moscoso made two starts, and went 0-1 while allowing 12 earned runs in 9 1/3 innings (11.57 ERA).
Pachecho, who was with the club on Opening Day before being optioned to Triple-A on April 15, went 2-for-10 in five games with a triple and a run scored in the big leagues. He's hit .433 with four doubles, three homers and 10 RBIs in 17 games for Colorado Springs this season. Pacheco appeared in one game at first base, three games at third base and one as a pinch-hitter with the Rockies.
Ottavino, 26, was claimed by the Rockies off of waivers from the Cardinals on April 3 and was immediately optioned to Colorado Springs. He has appeared in 10 games, all in relief, and owns a 3.60 ERA (six earned runs in 15 innings) for the Sky Sox. He made his Major League debut with St. Louis last year, when he went 0-2 with a 8.46 ERA in five games (three starts).
Young, who made his first Opening Day roster this year and has hit .286 with two RBIs and nine runs in 21 games, will not be eligible to come off the bereavement list until Tuesday. He can not miss more than seven games.
The Rockies are in action Saturday night against the Braves at 6:10 p.m. MDT at Coors Field. Both Pacheco and Ottavino will be in uniform and available for the game.

A deadly wreck that rocked the small town of St. Francisville once again has people talking. The driver of that vehicle is facing his 2nd offense DWI, but he may only be charged with his first offense.
"Very traumatic. It's still talked about even 9-10 years later," said West Feliciana Parish Sheriff Austin Daniels.
August 4, 2004: it's a day still fresh on the minds of many in St. Francisville. Three teenagers were killed after a deadly crash on Highway 61. All were passengers in a car Justin Ellis, then 17, was driving. One of the victims was his own sister. Two of the three families chose not to press charges so prosecutor Sam D'Aquilla proceeded with trying to charge him with one count.
"He didn't have any alcohol or drugs in his system so he was not charged with vehicular homicide," said D'Aquilla.
The DA then pursued a negligent homicide charge. That too did not hold up because Ellis confessed to falling asleep behind the wheel and hitting a guardrail.
"You have to prove that he acted below the reasonable standard of care of a prudent person, and the courts of appeal have said falling asleep at the wheel is not below the standard of care for a prudent person," said D'Aquilla.
Ultimately, Ellis was charged with one count of reckless driving. His 90-day jail sentence was suspended and Ellis had to serve out a two-year probation with the terms being not driving anywhere but to and from work or for an emergency.
"However his probation was revoked at a later date," said D'Aquilla.
It revoked when he was found driving around the Mall of Louisiana. Then in May of 2006, West Feliciana deputies pulled over Ellis for swerving through lanes and also charged him with his first offense DWI. But D'Aquilla said Ellis' blood-alcohol level was below the legal limit which reduced the charge.
"His blood-alcohol level was .008, which is well below the .02 standard so it was amended to reckless operation, and he pled guilty to that," said D'Aquilla.
Then on January 4th, deputies pulled over Ellis again charging him with a number of charges including his 2nd offense DWI. But because his first DWI did not hold up in 2006, D'Aquilla said this will now be his first.
"We're going to treat him as severe as we can. DWI's are a growing concern for our office especially in light of what happened in East Feliciana Parish last summer," said D'Aquilla.
The DA tells 9News because Ellis was not convicted of a DWI back in 2006, this will now be his 1st offense.
Ellis is out of jail on a $40,250 bond. His arraignment is set for February 21st.

Two arrested after Luton shooting
Two men have been arrested in connection with the murder of Luton man, Paul Foster. The first man, aged 21 and from Luton, was arrested on suspicion of murder yesterday at an address in the town.
The second man, aged 24 and also from Luton, handed himself in to Luton Police Station yesterday afternoon. Both were questioned by detectives from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit and released on police bail pending further investigation.
Paul Foster, 46 years, was shot and killed in Luton on Tuesday night (April 9) after an incident outside a house in Brunel Road just before midnight.
Detective Supt Jeff Hill, Head of the Major Crime Unit, said: "I would remind members of the public that although two men have been arrested in connection with this investigation there have been no charges at this time.
"This is still an ongoing investigation and I would make a strong appeal to anyone who has information relating to this inquiry to come forward and speak with detectives.

Playing in a marching band calls for a special breed of brass instrument. Not only does this brass need to deliver excellent sound, it also needs to project far enough to reach the highest stands of a stadium. Moreover, it's essential that marching band brass be durable enough to take frequent handling and the demands of road trips in stride, all while being easy to carry for long marches. Although the criteria that they have to live up to are steep, you'll find that marching band instruments from some of the most renowned names in brass are more than up to the challenge. That includes makers like Yamaha, King, Jupiter and Kanstul, all of whom have ample design expertise and long-term experience with brass instruments. Any horn from these master builders is one that you can be proud to put on your shoulder.
Shape is a key element for brass instruments, and there are several of note in this selection. For example, French horn players will appreciate a mellophone or band-style French horn, which use flugelhorn-like shapes with forward-facing bells. This not only creates a congruent look throughout the band, it also has the important function of directing the sound forward of the player, so your parts can be heard alongside the similarly-facing trumpets and baritones.
Other instruments are likewise adapted for band, such as the marching trombone, or "flugelbone," which uses trumpet-like fingerings but the tube lengths and mouthpiece of a trombone to better fit within tight ranks. Even the classic tuba is available in convertible models that switch from front action for concerts to top action for marching. As well, if you play the sousaphone, you can choose between all-brass, fiberglass or hybrid construction in order to make the weight of the band's largest instrument a bit more manageable.
No matter which instrument you play, being part of a marching band means that there's no substitute for brass built especially for that purpose. When you need something that can meet the tough demands of band use, any choice you make from this catalog of marching brass instruments is sure to be ideal.

GREENDALE, IN (FOX 19) - A soldier from Lawrenceburg, Ind. has been seriously injured in Afghanistan.
Family members of Pfc. Brett Bondurant say he was hurt Wednesday morning Afghan time in an explosion of an improvised explosive device (IED) in Mushan, just east of Kandar.
Bondurant will be transferred to a hospital in Germany for treatment. His family says he is in critical but stable condition. The Army tells the family they expect him to arrive back in the United States sometime next week. He will receive treatment at Bethesda Naval Hospital in Bethesda, Maryland.
Bondurant is a 2009 graduate of Lawrenceburg High School and is engaged to be married in January. The family tells us those plans are on hold pending the outcome of his recovery, but the couple still intends to wed despite the latest developments.
"That phone call. It was devastating. There's not even words to describe it. I was numb, completely numb," said his mother, Janelle. "I'm proud of him. We're all proud of him and we just want to get him home so we can be by his bedside."
Three others were injured in the explosion, and another person was killed.
A Facebook page has been set up in support of Bondurant: https://www.facebook.com/groups/brettbondurant

The Grammy Award winner has sold 80 million records. He's also got a passion for musical theatre; he wrote the scores for the musicals Harmony and Copacabana.
At the age of seven, Brooklyn native Manilow was taking accordion lessons and playing on a neighbor's piano. He attended New York College of Music and the Juilliard School of Music while working in the mailroom at CBS. He subsequently became musical director for a CBS show named "Callback," a predecessor to "American Idol," which led to working in the world of advertising jingles.
Manilow has had 25 consecutive Top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 between 1975 and 1983. The list includes songs that Manilow still sings today: "Mandy," "It's a Miracle," "Could It Be Magic," "I Write the Songs," "Tryin' To Get the Feeling Again," "This One's For You," "Weekend in New England," "Looks Like We Made It," "Can't Smile Without You," "Even Now," and the Grammy Award-winning "Copacabana (At the Copa)."
"Growing up in New York, Broadway has always held a special place in my heart and I am honored to have the opportunity to make the St. James Theatre my home in the New Year," stated Manilow. Manilow on Broadway is presented by Jujamcyn Theaters and STILETTO Entertainment.
Tickets range in price from $50 to $350. For tickets, visit ManilowOnBroadway.com or call (212) 239-6200 or (800) 432-7250.

Today's weather forecast: Dreamy
It's a women-only spa in Koreatown. You strip down naked and sit in different pools that are hot, hotter, and hottest, and you can get your skin scrubbed by a spa esthetician until your skin is baby soft. What I love about it is, it's a room filled with naked women who have different body types, and they are completely comfortable. It's the opposite of what everyone thinks when they think of Los Angeles. Go with a friend and sit for hours—it's an oasis, a vacation in the middle of the city.

I love Shareen Vintage--it's a girl's playland. It's a huge open space, and you can go through racks of these beautifully preserved vintage clothes. You can try on as many as you want, and they're inexpensive so you don't feel like you're emptying out your bank account. It's just pure fun; it takes you back to being a little girl playing dress up in your mother's closet.
Alias sells used books, and [the store] is beautifully curated. It's relatively small, but everything on the shelves is well chosen; it's not like everyone dumped their garage full of old books there. The collection is really excellent and unusual. Recently, I got a book of short stories from Bulgaria. I saw it and I thought, I've never read any short stories from Bulgaria. I bought it, and they were great.
My children are grown, but I have friends who have very small children, and one of the things we like to do together is go to the children's room at the LACMA. They have these long, gorgeous tables, and they set out paints and paper and brushes, and you can paint for hours. It's a lovely, light-filled, Zen area of the museum. It's so relaxing, and just a beautiful way to spend time with children on a Saturday or Sunday morning.
I'm a real fan of going to a bookstore where the person who buys the books has already done half the work for you. This place has a really small, well-edited collection, so it's a great place to go when you don't know what you're looking for but want a good book.
I tend to like more out-of-the-way, ethnic dining. It's a fun way to eat. And the soup is so delicious, I dream about it.
There's something about this room [at the Los Angeles Public Library] that just makes you want to read. Maybe it's the smell of the books or the fact that when you take your children there, they want to read. It's just an incredible room.
This place is a loft complex and twice a year they host an artwalk and it's such a huge complex that it's like a box of chocolates. Every room is a separate art. You go to one room and it's Japanese-inspired screens. You go to the next and it's big abstract expressionist stuff. Some of it's great and some of it's horrible but it really reminds you of how much variety there is in human artistic expression. It inspires me as a writer.

I love it here because my kids love it here. They particularly love the conveyer belt with sushi that comes around.
I don't practice a religion but if I did, I would do it here. It's this glass chapel and you look through the glass and all you see is greenery. It's tiny, beautiful and just such a sacred place.
It's so easy in L.A. to feel like you're not part of the big community. But at this farmers' market, I feel like I am. You see the street life that you don't always get to see in L.A. and that feels good. The big, vast city of L.A. is made a little bit smaller.
I've been coming here for so many years that I feel intimate with the musicians; I know what they wear, I know when one's pregnant. I feel like I know so much about them.

I hike this trail once a week and going over the same turf week after week, year after year, I see incredible changes in the smallest way in the geography of Los Angeles. I even saw a fire once.

Patagonian Expedition Race: a wilderness adventure in the Southern HemisphereWed, 19/02/2014 - 18:42 — Petzl
There are hard races, there are wild races, and then there are hard wild races. The Patagonia Expedition Race falls most definitely into the latter category. The ultimate adventure, this race takes teams of four through the pristine wilderness of Southern Patagonia. The 11th edition started on February 12, 2013, just outside Torres del Paine National Park. As with all adventure races, the course included sections of hiking, mountain biking, and sea kayaking. Unlike other adventure races, competitors often traveled hundreds of kilometers without seeing another human being or any sign of civilization. In 2013 the winning team covered the 700 km course in eight and half days, and only three out of the eleven registered teams finished. Not just along for the ride, photographer Alexandre Buisse imbedded himself with the teams along several sections of the race in order capture the heart of the action.

Philippe Batoux in Yosemite: Plan BThu, 21/11/2013 - 10:31 — Petzl
Geneva International Airport, October 2013. Philippe Batoux, along with a few members of the FFME national mountaineering team (France), takes off for Yosemite. The goal of their trip is to perfect technique for placing nuts and cams, as well as to gain aid-climbing experience. This will prepare them for a future expedition up a highly technical route on a 6000m high peak in either China or Alaska in 2015. The very full schedule in California includes trying to free a route on the legendary El Capitan, to climb an aid route, and to link the Regular Northwest Face of Half Dome and the Nose in a day. Unfortunately their original plan is derailed by the closing of all national parks due to the government shutdown. Philippe Batoux talks about the ascents from their plan b.

Just did all of the lubrication as stated in the owners manual and have a couple questions. As an FYI, this is the first I've done a complete lube as specified in the manual since I bought it last year. NOw I want to move on to the 'maintenance' section step by step. When I bought it, I only did the main maintenance items and a few fixes to get it running- which it does well but with a little extra smoke for flavor.
Rear axle housing oil pan- it is leaking, and has been, around one of the pans. Wanted to take it off (both) to completly drain/refill but wanted to make sure there is not a gasket there since, if there is, I don't have one to replace with. I tightened up the bolts on the leaking pan which helped although they were pretty tight.
Front wheel bearings- wanted to make sure the only things to pack grease on were the two sets of bearings and not fill the hub cap thing. Reason for asking is both were totally full of grease when I took them off.
Comment/question- drained the trans. fluid. While I was waiting, forever, for it to drain I decided to stick my finger down the fill hole. If there is about 1" +/- of grease goo stuck to the top of the gear housing each way I turned my finger, it is probably not a good thing?
Did the first mow of the season yesterday and it did well. However, it certianly likes to plow snow more than running the Woods 59 deck.
Thanks, Andy

Adrian Peterson / RB / Minnesota Vikings
Peterson, the league leader in rushing yards, continued his stunning comeback from a severe knee injury and came close to topping his output (182 yards rushing) vs. the Seahawks a week earlier. He had 27 carries for 171 yards (6.3 average) in the Vikings' 34-24 win over the division-rival Lions and rushed 61 yards for the game-sealing touchdown midway through the fourth quarter. Peterson also ran in a two-point conversion to give Minnesota a 14-point lead earlier in the quarter. His parting words as the Vikings head into a Week 11 bye had to come as some not so welcome food for thought as far as opposing defenses are concerned. "I still can get stronger," Peterson told reporters. "I'm still not there, man. I'm pressing to get there. I'm going to come back stronger and better after the bye."
Danieal Manning / FS / Houston Texans
Manning found himself in some very familiar surroundings when he arrived at Soldier Field for the Texans' Sunday-night tilt against the league's only other 7-1 team. That was his home stadium for the first five seasons of his career before he didn't get the contract offer he was looking for from the Bears and made the move to Houston in free agency before the 2011 season. "Just pulling into the stadium I saw where we used to park," Manning said. "I'm seeing the guys pulling in, I was like this is crazy. I'm on the other end." He did not disappoint in his first game back in Chicago, forcing a fumble that the Texans recovered on the Bears' first play of the game. Manning also intercepted Jay Cutler late in the first quarter, and the Bears' offense, which later lost Cutler to a concussion, never was able to get on track.
Jacoby Jones / WR / Baltimore Ravens
The Ravens already had the game in hand when Jones set up to return a kickoff with 12:47 remaining in the Ravens' blowout win over the Raiders. It didn't make his 105-yard return for a touchdown any less impressive, though. Everything went right for Baltimore on Sunday — they actually scored on eight of their first 10 possessions and successfully converted a fake field goal for a TD in the third quarter, but Jones' return was the cherry on top. His score helped the team set a franchise record for points in a 55-20 win. Jones is making exhilarating returns a habit in his first season with the Ravens — he tied an NFL record with a 108-yard kickoff return for a TD against the Cowboys in Week Six and is the first player in league history with two career kickoff-return TDs of 105 yards or more.

The Festival of Seven Herbs or Nanakusa no sekku (Japanese: 七草の節句) is the long-standing Japanese custom of eating seven-herb rice porridge (nanakusa-gayu) on January 7 (Jinjitsu).
Seven Spring flowers[edit]
The nanakusa are seven edible wild herbs of spring. Traditionally, they are:
|Traditional name
|Modern name
|芹 : せり seri
|Water dropwort
|薺 : なずな nazuna
|Nazuna or Penpengusa (ぺんぺん草)
|Shepherd's Purse
|御形 : ごぎょう gogyō
|Hahakogusa (母子草)
|繁縷 : はこべら hakobera
|Hakobe (蘩蔞)
|仏の座 : ほとけのざ hotokenoza
|Koonitabirako (小鬼田平子)
|菘 : すずな suzuna
|Kabu (蕪)
|蘿蔔 : すずしろ suzushiro
|Daikon (大根)
There is considerable variation in the precise ingredients, with common local herbs often being substituted.
On the morning of January 7, or the night before, people place the nanakusa, rice scoop, and/or wooden pestle on the cutting board and, facing the good-luck direction, chant "Before the birds of the continent (China) fly to Japan, let's get nanakusa" while cutting the herbs into pieces. The chant may vary.
The seventh of the first month has been an important Japanese festival since ancient times. The custom of eating nanakusa-gayu on this day, to bring longevity and health, developed in Japan from a similar ancient Chinese custom, intended to ward off evil. Since there is little green at that time of the year, the young green herbs bring color to the table and eating them suits the spirit of the New Year.
Seven Autumn flowers[edit]
The spring-time nanakusa are mirrored by the Nanahana no sekku (七花の節句), the "seven flowers of autumn" or "festival of seven flowers"), which are bush clover (hagi), miscanthus (obana, Miscanthus sinensis), kudzu, large pink (nadeshiko, Dianthus superbus), yellow flowered valerian (ominaeshi, Patrinia scabiosaefolia), boneset (fujibakama, Eupatorium fortunei), and Chinese bellflower (kikyō). These seven autumn flowers provide visual enjoyment. Their simplicity was very much admired: they are small and dainty yet beautifully colored. They are named as typical autumn flowers in a verse from the Man'yōshū anthology.
Cautionary note[edit]
The Japanese parsley (Oenanthe javanica) is one of the few non-toxic species of the Oenanthe (water dropworts) genus, which are otherwise extremely toxic. As this species is not found outside of Asia unless specifically cultivated, one should always consider wild-growing varieties of water dropworts to be lethal, even in small amounts.[citation needed]

Slingco will exhibit at LDI 2007 in Orlando, showcasing their Cablenet system. This is the first time Slingco will exhibit at LDI. Known throughout Europe, Slingco opened its first US office in Atlanta in July 2006.
Cablenet is a completely custom tensioned wire grid system, designed and engineered to fit the exact space and specifications required by the venue, making it unique to the US market. Slingco highlights the flexibility and scope offered by a completely tailor-made solution, which include a complete design and installation package.
The Cablenet system is created by weaving and tensioning high tensile steel cable within a frame, which is then hoisted to the required level in a theatre or concert hall and fixed to the building. This creates a safe "virtual floor" on which lighting, audio, and AV technicians and riggers can work in complete confidence.
Almost invisible from ground level, the grid also has the key benefit of creating no shadows when lighting fixtures positioned above it are shone through to the stage, studio, or auditorium below.
Cablenet is also incredibly flexible. Slingco will be highlighting its "custom-woven on site" version at LDI 2007, which can accommodate any layout or room shape. (The system is also available in modular formats).
