Dont Touch A Lions Paw
Posted by cheatah55 on Sep. 21, 2007
Posted by cheatah55 on Sep. 21, 2007
That lion wanted a slushee, and he wanted it now
minor injuries has a different connotation in Pakistan than in America.
ISAF Lion taking out Taliban trash...
chicken tikka
As harsh as that was. All those guys tried to save that kid. they didn't just run away like some ameri... never mind, it doesnt matter would doesn't help their own kind. All those guys are brave, good job saving your friend.
Minor injuries my ass
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA simple to funny! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA pakis forgot lions are not same. as camels hahahahahahah
indian takeaway
indian takeaway
that lions like hey man u scuffed my kicks
it's a wild animal you morons!! you deserve it!
the big cat....this is not a big cat. A cat is not able to killl someone, this lion can kill all those people easy mode if he want to ! Never fuck with the lion ! Camasino Team
the idiots should have paid attention and realised that they were pissin the lion off i could tell he was pissed well before it even attacked... moral of this story dont fuck with lions for you are crunchy n taste good with ketchup XD
 This video is about 15 years old.
If you hurt a lion it hurts you back. Common sense isn't common enough.
 packie pride
 lol, dumb packies!
 every one says oh the lion went crazy but really the lion went lion
i was waiting for that arm to come clean off...COME ON
 they can have lions @ home but no guns? Stupid Islamis
 I wish i had free time to play with a lion, but I'm sane...he deserved what he got
 haha his friend bashing him in the back of the head did more damage to the lion
good kitty!!!
HAHA: at about 00:36 his mate tries to attack the lion and ends up clubing his friend xD
lmao: tug o war with a paki
that must be: the arm with which he wipes his ass. if it were his dinner eating arm he'd be screwed.
nahhhh: i would have just pulled my buddy in the opposite direction, thus increasing the chances of tearing his arm off. Fuckin dumbass Pakistanis
this isnt that bad: the lion wasn't trying to hurt the kid. He was probly just grabbing his arm with his mouth and not really biting down. If that lion was truly pissed, it would've mauled all those kids
Hi: Im sheriff john brunell
Isn't that: Sheriff John Bumhole speaking?
AWESOME!!!: We should send some lions to the Mid East so they will eat all muslims and no war required!!!!
Aww cmon: Their from pakistan! I dont know about you but i would just stand there laughing at him :s
he got: OWNED
islam is a joke religion. their god is a pedofile,,promising virgins to murders.
At least he didn't have jungle fever
i was hoping.,,
me three!
me too
WRONG! This is how the human race weeds itself out. just like Troops in IRAQ
what if: i was a gay guy. that would suck.
ahahahahahah: hilarious!!
so true: that lion could've mutilated everyone in that video
It's John Bunnell, not brunell.
I dont know why but that is fkin hilarious.
i friggin haaaaaaaaaaaaaaate: that useless moron. he ruins a good laugh like those morons that say "fake" or explain processes. aaah, i needed that, thx.

4.06/5 rDev -1%
The wife and I stumbled upon this joint while walking around Bella Vista / South Street, destination Bainbridge and Passyunk. On a beautiful winter day in mid February, we sat outside and enjoyed the crisp weather. Nice service from our waiter, who loved Bourbon County as much as I do.
12 taps and 1 cask: Duvel, BCBS, Ommegang Hop House, Stoudts 4 Play IPA, Mad Elf, Susquehanna Toboggan... pours are 8-10 oz or higher, and they of course sell growlers as well. Most around five bucks, except Goose Bourbon which ran me nine bucks.
I loved the food! My "Royale with cheese" was a double-tofu sandwich and the wife got a plate of fried mozzarella that was galaxies away from the frozen cheese sticks you typically get at a bar. This was true Philadelphia mozzarella with a great beer batter, served in a massive portion.
The three-dollar Bloody Mary's for Sunday brunch didn't hurt either. A great bar, intimate and neighborhoody like Philly herself. Ample dining area on the back. Will come back and repeat.

I had no idea what to expect when I asked for help picking paint colors for the interior of my home. Before Ms had also suggested furniture ideas and placement to give our home much warmer feel. By the time she left I was and am excited to put these ideas all together. I have recommended
like washable fabrics or cleanable surfaces. It was obvious this was necessary given the fact that my apartment is adjacent to a major active construction site and contractors were working on the day of the appointment and the dirt infiltration was obvious. The light fixtures
2nd time working with Christian. Extremely pleased with the first experience (Angie's list discount, but gave him $100 tip for above and beyond!! Recovering from surgery and he stayed late, moved furniture and hung paintings. Couldn't ask for better service!!!). Now we need help with use of space and selecting/ordering furniture. Really like Christian's ideas and we're excited to be working with him again.
now on, I will call
our taste, lifestyle, and accommodates all range of budgets. I have to admit that taking us on as clients are challenging at times because she has to accommodate not only my wants/vision but also that of my husband whose style and vision often fall in completely different directions. The fact that she is able to make both of us happy says a lot about her talent but also her excellent customer service skills (including couple counseling).
I contacted for help. She made time for me the same day and really saved me from a bad choice when she encouraged me to push back with contractor on a vent hood design that was not working. We have a beautiful kitchen island, thanks to
She is a lovely woman who offered lots of great ideas! She also shared a list of contractors she uses which can be very helpful! Anyone who uses her will like her!

Lancope will hold its 'University of NetFlow' training course in three more cities before the end of the year – Birmingham and Montgomery, Alabama, and Philadelphia. As corporate networks are continuously plagued by ever-evolving cyber threats, it is important for organizations to understand the 'who, what, when, where and how' of network compromises. Unfortunately, conventional security solutions do not provide the visibility necessary to conduct internal network surveillance and uncover these critical details.
Join Lancope and learn how to leverage NetFlow data from your existing infrastructure to obtain the network visibility and security intelligence needed to fend off advanced threats. Dates for the complimentary seminars in December are as follows:
- Dec. 2, 2013 - Birmingham, AL
- Dec. 3, 2013 - Montgomery, AL
- Dec. 6, 2013 - Philadelphia, PA
Lancope's University of NetFlow began educating users on the power of flow data over five years ago. The course is designed to share the industry knowledge and cutting-edge research derived from Lancope's security team to help organizations make the most of their NetFlow investment.

Player A wins some award. X amount of dollars for that.
Fair and square. Not this BS system that is in place today.
Some of these players pretty much saved the entire franchises. Look how Washington have benefited from Ovechkin. What Dynamo got in return? Pretty much nothing. Malkin goes and wins Hart, Art Ross, Conn Smyth. Magnitka gets nothing. And it's not like clubs can't afford to pay a few millions.
Well, but then to make it fair, the NHL clubs would have to pay millions to the local Canadian and US clubs that grew those players, as well, and that would just make it very unfeasible. The KHL, too, should by that logic pay Swedish, Finnish or any other countries' clubs that grew players that have now played a significant amount of games in Russia. I mean, I get the point of the NHL "stealing" players from across the world, but unless they're actually making players break contracts I don't see why they should be held financially responsible. It's a free world, and any player should be able to choose his own path. I'm a huge Russia supporter in all things hockey, and also hate how the KHL is viewed in North America, but even with this bias, I can't see anything wrong with NHL clubs offering contracts to players from abroad without compensation to their clubs. If the player does not have a contract, he's free to go, and if he does and he breaks it to go play in the NHL,
should be held responsible, and not the NHL club he's going to play for.

Hi all this is my first post I'm more of a lurker really! I just wanted to share something that happened to me recently...
The short version is i got mugged in Thailand whilst backpacking there. The thing that got me thinking though is even though i have no MMA training i was trying to fight intelligently something i attribute to this site and my growing love of watching MMA
It made me think which I'm all sure we have done at one point does the love of watching mma or combat sports in general help when you are in a fight? i managed a sweep and i was trying to slip off the centre line to throw my right hand both things i have never practised I've just seen them executed when watching fights(i was pissed as a nit at the time)
Just a bit of food for thought if any of you have had moments of the same (to be fair most of my fight/mugging was me on the ground covering up getting the shit kicked out of me) please share!!
Big up to Connor those fight analysis pieces really stick in my head!

Dwight certainly finds himself in greener pastures. Heavily courted to play alongside emerging superstar James Harden, potential one-year wonder Chandler Parsons, the league's best backup center in Omer Asik, and not be forgotten, the recently resigned Francisco Garcia, with Dwight now on board, the Rockets roster is mostly set. By the way, never forget about Cisco Garcia. In fact, keep that head on a swivel when he's near — Cisco's one of the few players in the league who appears poised to kill a man at a moment's notice. If there was an award to commemorate such players – perhaps a "Crazy-Eyes Killa" award, watch the whole clip, but the eyes are 58 sec. in – Garcia would have one by now. He'd have more than one, but Stephen Jackson did to that hypothetical award what Michael Jordan did to the MVP. Remind me, I'll have to make a longer list of these guys at some point. Pure head cases like Metta don't count, nor do posers like Ibaka ("somebody hold me back!") or plain and simple tough guys like Zack Randolph, whose former teammate Ruben Patterson was crazy enough to send Zbo into hiding. But I digress.
At this moment, all that matters to Rockets fans is that they got their guy. Nothing like this has ever happened in Houston. Sure, they landed Clyde the Glide in his latter years to run with Hakeem. And Rockets fans must've been elated to see McGrady join Ming as Orlando took the perpetually malcontent Stevie Franchise off their hands. (If he's your franchise, your franchise just might be Long John Silver's.) I don't want to crash the party by pointing out what remain some considerable holes in the Rockets' roster (okay, so I sort of do want to do that). They unquestionably have two Top 15 players in their prime (even if one is just entering his as the other is creeping towards its final stages), and might just have two Top 7 players donning Rocket red next year. This doesn't happen often for any franchise. Enjoy.
It's nonetheless true that Houston's roster lacks quality depth beyond Howard, Harden and Parsons. A no brainer it might've been, but clearing cap space by losing guys like Thomas Robinson and Carlos Delfino killed Houston's depth. Headlined by H&H, that doesn't matter as much. Still, I don't like Lin as anything more than a 20 min. combo guard off the bench, and the power forward slot remains murky. But if Beverly continues to develop, and if the Garcia/Casspi combination gives them something, there's enough there for a really good team. I don't believe that it vaults them above the likes of Miami and OKC, but Houston should be more or less as competitive as San Antonio, Golden State, Indiana, Chicago, the Clips, and dare I say, the Nets? If only Houston had one more asset…
How is Omer Asik different from 2008-2009 Marcin Gortat? Few stark contrasts in their games are readily identifiable. Gortat was a little better offensively, and is a little taller than Asik, but never really materialized as the rim protector and elite rebounder that Asik has become. If Dwight couldn't play well with Gortat, and struggled to form a formidable front court with the much more skilled Gasol, it's hard to see any scenario in which Dwight and Asik succeed on the court together. Faced with a similar predicament (two of its top four players couldn't play together) in 2010, Orlando said goodbye to Gortat as it sent him packing to Phoenix in return for Hedo Turgoglu, Jason Richardson, and Earl Clark.
So when Morey claims that Houston has no intentions of moving Asik, exercise a healthy degree of skepticism. Asik is a Top 5 defensive center, and one of the game's best rebounders. As such, he's a lucrative asset. If you play him 15 minutes per night behind Howard, you might as well hire Mike D'Antoni to coach the team. (I'm guessing D'Antoni would keep Asik tethered to the bench so that he could start Garcia at power forward.) For Rockets fans, it's fortunate that Morey isn't half the fool that is Mitch Kupchak. Morey will trade what is sure to be an underutilized asset, but will do so on his terms. I suspect that once word emerged that Asik was none too thrilled about Howard coming aboard, Morey received offers roughly commensurate to the package Orland received for Gortat, which, while unquestionably a poor value at the time, looks like a mere pittance with the benefit of hindsight. Morey won't take that. He's hell bent on building a championship roster, and after years of waiting and allaying the concerns of his doubters, it's his time to say "I told you so."
Here's why that won't be so simple: Houston signed Asik to a "poison pill" offer sheet last summer. In common parlance, Houston filled Asik's contract with unpalatable provisions. Most notably, in 2014-2015, Asik will be owed $15 million. He's great at $8 million, but $15 will make teams think two or three times about acquiring him in any deal. It was enough to scare off the cap conscience Bulls, and the poison will be even more potent this time around. Consider that Houston paid Asik just over $5 million last year. A bargain, no doubt. It owes him the same this year. Hence, any team that acquires Asik will acquire only the poison — Houston will have already consumed the good attributes of the pill. With that in mind, Asik's trade value is likely not what it seems to most Rocket's fans. No, that doesn't mean that they'll have to trade him for Luke Walton. Just don't expect teams to be falling all over themselves to offer blue and red chip prospects or all star caliber pieces for the right to pay Asik $15 million.
Given Morey's clear motive to sell on Asik, the poison third year of Asik's contract, and the the limited number of teams one could expect to be in the market for his services (more than 20 teams will not go after Asik because of at least one of the following reasons: they already have a good center, they directly compete w/Houston, they want to tank for a good pick in a strong draft, they prefer to save their cap space for the summer of 2014) a fair return more nearly resembles a package like these:
- B to C+ level youngster who fits Morey's vision for the roster and/or a non-lottery draft pick
- An aging semi-star or excellent role player who fills a need for Houston (e.g., power forward, point guard, solid bench contributors), again with draft considerations possible depending on the quality of the acquired player.
Under those criteria, I've identified three possible destinations for Asik, in descending order of desirability for the Rockets:
1. Sacramento. More than anything, Sacto needs stability. Stability requires the non-existence of a surplus of fools. Since Sacramento has just such a surplus, its roster is prime for the picking. Asik would be a great fit there, marking the first step towards playing defense and playing hard. He'd give Cousins room to roam about on offense, as he's want to do. So who does Sacramento give up? My guess? Houston can pick either Jason Thompson or Patrick Patterson, each of who would fit nicely next to Dwight. Alternatively, even post Tyreke trade, which sent the underrated Greivus Vasquez to the Kings, Sacto still has a glut in the backcourt and needs to clear the deck for Ben McLemore. I'm guessing that makes Marcus Thornton, Jimmer Fredette, and possibly even Isaiah Thomas available for the right price. There's more than enough here for Houston to strike a deal that shores up its roster.
Best Deal for Houston: Jason Thompson (who can play a little 5), and Thornton.
More Likely: Thompson and Fredette.
2. Washington. This almost makes too much sense. Given the Wiz' pattern of perplexing decisions then, it probably won't happen. But Asik is exactly what this young roster needs. The Wiz feature three redish-blue chippers at the 1-3 spots, but lack the interior presence that would allow them to thrive on the break. DC's somewhat hamstrung in deals like this by it past bad acquisitions, which include Nene and Emeka Okafor. Each would otherwise make a nice backup for Dwight, but I have trouble envisioning Morey being interested in either given their exorbitant salaries. Would a draft pick from the Wiz get it done? If not, Ariza would compliment Houston's core guys well. He's won a championship, can be hellish on defense, and can shoot it well when you're not relying on him to do so every night, as the Rockets learned not so long ago.
Best Deal for Houston: Ariza and a 1st rounder
Might take it: Okafor and a 1st rounder
3. Miami. Asik would complete the puzzle in Miami, and leave the rest of the league with little hope beyond Wade's imminently combustable knee and Lebron's intermittent bizarre games/halves/quarters where it appears as though he's changed bodies with a six year old who's not certain that he can shoot from anywhere beyond four feet, even in Lebron's body. In all seriousness, Asik would kill it in Miami. When Bosh pulls in three rebounds, Asik would hustle to collect 18. He'd also allow Lebron to focus on shutting down the perimeter, instead of doubling as the team's best shot blocker. The question is, what would it cost Miami? If it's Bosh, the deal is sealed for Houston. (I can't stand Chris Bosh, but Howard would cover up all of his deficiencies and I'd expect him to thrive in Houston). And I think Miami should pull the trigger on that, perhaps seeking another asset or two to compensate for the perceived talent delta. Forced to forecast, however, I don't think Miami does that deal. So would Houston accept the title-winning, battle tested, floor spacing, type of role player all 'chip teams need to win big? Shane Battier played in Houston…Still, that's not enough. What if Miami threw in Norris Cole or Mario Chalmers? Getting closer. Throw Miami's 1st rounder in, and we just might have a deal.
Best Deal for Houston: Chris Bosh (remember, I'm guessing it would take more than Asik to get it done)
Might Take It: Battier, Chalmers, and 1st Rounder
Other Teams With Interest:
Charlotte (unless a pick is included, can't see Rockets jumping at a Biyombo/Sessions package)
Philadelphia (Asik would serve well as Philly's rim protector until Noel is ready to assume that job. I'd bet that the Rockets would be interested in Thaddeus Young, who would provide an athletic/versatile dimension up front and seemingly no longer fits into Philly's youth movement. Would that be enough? If so, I'd encourage Philly to jump on it.)
Atlanta (needs a new big after losing J. Smoove and Zaza last week. Nice fit for Asik, but I don't see the pieces. Deshawn Stevenson anyone? If Teague is willing to talk sign n' trade to Houston, that'd be a coup for the Rockets. But it would also leave Atlanta with one middling rookie point guard, and that's it. I don't see it.)
Cleveland (pursuit of Bynum suggests won't be complacent at the 5. Trouble is, I don't think any of the young nucleus, save Zeller, would be available in such a deal. Would the always injured Anderson Varajeo get it done? Think not.)
Chicago (The missed him, but if they weren't willing to pay for the pill last year, would they really swallow the poison this year? Besides, Deng's to valuable to move in a deal like this.)
(Update) Dallas (By popular demand – i.e. I forgot about them – the Mavs join the list of flawed suitors. And Dallas would love to have Asik, who'd fit like a glove next to Dirk. The question becomes, who does Dallas have that Houston wants? Most likely, nobody. Shane Larkin might interest them, and perhaps with Jae Crowder that becomes a viable package should trading Asik prove more difficult than imagined.)

I don't know if it's because of the unusually long and cold winter we had, or if it was because I couldn't sing or dance this spring so gardening was my major creative outlet, but I have been enjoying the gardens more than usual this year.  Here are a few things that have been blooming lately:

Hibiscus and phlox - Except for Osmocote, I don't usually use anything artificial on the gardens.  However, small caterpillars and beetles have been decimating the hibiscus leaves so I finally bought and used Neem last week.

For now, this bridge is the end of the walk.  There's another boardwalk that will connect it with the trail at Gold Park, but that's not finished yet.  Eventually, the Riverwalk Trail will go to Occoneechee* Mountain to the west and to Ayr Mount and the Occoneechee Speedway to the east.

I haven't posted here in so long.  It's been a busy, eventful spring year.  Here's a brief rundown:

Les Misérables was one of the best experiences of my life!   It was such a wonderful challenge, and the cast & crew were great!  I was going to blog more about it during it, but I was too busy.

I injured my knee the evening before opening night.  Since then, it's been up and down.  Some days, it would feel fine, and, other times, it would be really stiff.  I started doing Zumba again regularly, recently, and I've also been doing my physical therapy again.  This week, my knee seems pretty much back to normal - I'm even samba-ing again!

After four years of very hard work and intense involvement, daughter graduated from UNC-Asheville.  I'm so extremely proud of her, but I'll miss going to see her so close by.

(... so many Kleenexes...)

I had reflux for the first time ever in March & April.  It seemed to come & go mostly based on stress.  It was so bad that I was losing my voice.  I was eating meals half as large as usual to try to get it to go away.  I wasn't trying to lose weight, and when people complimented me I was polite.  However, I'd rather STAY THE SAME WEIGHT AND HAVE MY VOICE BACK!!!!!!!!!   I got my wish. For the most part, the reflux has gone away, and I'm back to about 3/4 of what I usually eat.  I'm close to where I started, weight-wise, which, I suppose, should upset me, but I don't care because - a few days before Seussical auditions, my voice was back to normal!!!!

I sang "All That Jazz" for the Seussical auditions.   I was trying not to dance it too.  However, after all the times I've danced it in two different Broadway dance classes (and performed it with one), I had to stay so tense to not dance that I danced the second half of the audition (I asked ahead if that would be okay) so that the singing would be easier!

I'm a bird girl in Seussical!  We've started rehearsals, and it will be fun!

Seussical is being done by the community theater group I've been in during the summers.  I don't put the name in personal posts so my blog posts don't come up when people do a search for the group.

My first musical with this group was five summers ago.  Younger son (15 yo) mentioned that I've been doing this for 1/3 of his life.  He's going to help me paint sets this summer.

Older son is doing some of the set design!

I did a mindfulness-based stress reduction class through UNC-Chapel Hill in March and April.  It's helped to lower my blood pressure and my stress, and I've really liked the changes I've made as a result of the class.   I've been trying to take an MBSR class for the last two years, but the program at the other university medical center in the area (which my doctor recommended) never worked schedule-wise (either vacations, my performances, or daughter's performances were on the same days).  UNC-CH's classes are more flexible - you can make up a session with the same session in another group, which worked out very well.

Usually, I have seasonal depression in the darkest parts of the winter.  Being in  Les Misérables pretty much kept that at bay this year.

On the other hand, I was depressed in the later part of the spring.  That's almost never happened before.  Spring is usually my most energetic time of the year.  After reading a lot of different books in the first part of the year, I read very little in the late spring.  I got way behind on the photo blogs, and I've hardly posted here at all.  I took photos for May's Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day, but never even bothered to post them. I also watched more TV* than I've watched in decades.

Gardening did keep me going.  I think I did more gardening this spring than in many past springs.

My mood totally improved when we started Seussical.  All of a sudden, I had energy again.

I think I might be show-dependent!

Here are some more of the photos I took in mid-May for Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day:

This rose bush is doing unusually well this year.

I could see these pansies from the window next to the computer.

I often eat breakfast while sitting on the front porch steps.  This was the view.  The daisies in the background escaped from the bed behind them years ago as did the purple mazus in the grass on the right.

A close-up of the daisies and the mazus

The mountain laurel is one of my favorite bushes.

I took a number of photos of the columbines.  This is the only one that came out well.  They're hard to photograph.

Mountain bluet

Yellow flag iris

These daisies have escaped from the bed into the drainage ditch between our house and the neighbors'.

This columbine photo turned out well.

 I'm so happy to see the fairy wand (Chamaelirium luteum) blooming!  I've always loved seeing it in the Mountain Habitat Garden at the NC Botanical Garden in Chapel Hill, and I was able to buy it there two years ago.

 Coreopsis "Jethro Tull" - a perfect plant for me since I play the flute!  The only large pop/rock concert I ever went to was a Jethro Tull concert in Boston in 1980.

* The Blacklist, Agents of Shield, and Boston Legal - all three are good, but, usually, I can't even keep up with one show, much less watch two current ones and one older one.

A few weeks before Lent started, I read a comment on a religious discussion board that said that people with allergies and asthma should just endure their reactions to incense (no matter how severe) in order to fulfill their religious duties.  Basically, incense was too important to change its use for a bunch of whiners.*

Since I have asthma (back under control now, but it was really bad in November & December) and it was the height of seasonal depression, my first reaction was that maybe God just doesn't like asthmatics (& other people who have reactions to incense).

My second reaction was that I needed to stop reading things that made me feel like I couldn't be a Christian.  That's what I should give up for Lent!

I've never seen the point of New Year's Resolutions - if you want to make a change, make it!  Why wait until New Year's?!  The same with this.  A few weeks before Lent, I gave up reading things that looked like they would make me feel like I couldn't be a Christian.  Basically, this means that before I start reading articles or discussion boards, I pause and really think about the possible results of reading them.

This was so useful that I'm also doing the same thing with articles & boards that have nothing to do with religion.  Is this article really going to give me any useful new information or is it just rehashing the same arguments?  Does it give a new perspective?  I read far fewer articles now.

The wonderful thing is that I'm reading more books.

I also decided to try reading more things that actually encourage my faith!  While this seems like a fairly obvious thing to do, I've spent lots of time reading things that other people recommend because they encourage their faith.  I've never tried to focus on thing that will help my faith because that seems like cherry-picking - maybe I'll only focus on the easy stuff.  However, with my bout of not-being-sure-of-what-I-believed a few years ago,** I decided that it would be good to nurture my faith for a while.  I've been listening to Father Phillip's homilies online, and I've been reading Inspiration from Pope Francis.

The thing is, unlike the usual Lenten changes, I don't see a reason to change back when Lent is over.

*  I tried to go back and find the link, but my internet history doesn't go back that far.

** During the Nicene Creed, I would mentally add "I would like to believe" at the beginning of every section.

[[Performer~P79410~Pedro Almodóvar~pedroalmodóvar]] directed this story of a woman and her circle of friends who find themselves suffering a variety of emotional crises. Manuela ([[Performer~P61744~Cecilia Roth~ceciliaroth]]) is a single mother who has raised her son, Esteban ([[Performer~P232126~Eloy Azorín~eloyazorín]]), to adulthood on her own and has come to emotionally depend on him. One night, Manuela and Esteban take in a production of A Streetcar Named Desire; after the show, Esteban is struck and killed by a passing motorist as he dashes into the street to get an autograph from Huma Rojo ([[Performer~P54999~Marisa Paredes~marisaparedes]]), who played Blanche. Emotionally devastated, Manuela relocates to Barcelona in hopes of finding her ex-husband (and Esteban's father), who is now working as a female impersonator. Manuela becomes reacquainted with old friend La Agrado ([[Performer~P240829~Antonia San Juan~antoniasanjuan]]), a transsexual, and is introduced to Sister Rosa ([[Performer~P186999~Penélope Cruz~penélopecruz]]), a good-hearted nun who has to contend with her considerably more cynical mother ([[Performer~P151836~Rosa María Sardà~rosamaríasardà]]). While looking for work, Manuela becomes acquainted with Huma Rojo. Huma, on the other hand, has troubles of her own, most involving her drug-addicted significant other, Nina ([[Performer~P197398~Candela Peña~candelapeña]]).

Fletcher Allen, a Vermont university hospital and medical center, serves all of
Vermont and the northern New York region. Located in Burlington, Fletcher Allen is a regional, academic healthcare center and teaching hospital in alliance with the University of Vermont.
UVM Medical Group Selects Research, Education Grant Award Winners
February 27, 2014
Michael Carrese (802) 847-2886
Jennifer Nachbur (802) 656-7875
BURLINGTON, VT – The UVM Medical Group (UVMMG) at Fletcher Allen recently recognized the work of eleven faculty members to honor their exceptional teaching and research efforts.
"These awards seek to recognize and encourage the critically important work our members do beyond providing excellent patient care," said David Adams, M.D., associate dean for graduate medical education and interim chair of Anesthesiology. "The value of having an academic medical center is rooted in the expertise our physicians develop through research and scholarly activities. This expertise provides direct benefits to our patients and impacts the education of medical students, residents, fellows and other physician colleagues."
Investigator-Initiated Awards
These two awards each come with a $50,000 grant funded by Fletcher Allen for two years of medical research, in order to align with the academic missions of Fletcher Allen and the UVM College of Medicine, and to enhance multidisciplinary and multi-departmental projects.
- Associate professor of Pathology Mark Fung, M.D., and associate professor of anesthesiology William Paganelli, M.D. will serve as co-principle investigators researching intraoperative blood use. The goal of their study is to provide data to guide the planning of blood transfusions during operations.
- Assistant professor of Pathology Jill Warrington, M.D., and assistant professor of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences Elise Everett, M.D., will lead a project which aims to reduce unnecessary cervical cancer screening by improving adherence to current guidelines, and identifying the most effective ways of promoting adherence to new screening guidelines.
Research and Education Recognition Awards
Recipients of these awards receive a $1,500 prize and a block grant related to the award's focus.
- Assistant professor of Medicine and Pathology Neil Zakai, M.D., was named the 2013 Junior Researcher of the Year, for exemplary performance representing the UVMMG in the advancement of medical research. Zakai's accomplishments include the creation and validation of a risk-assessment model for blood clots in veins.
- Professor of Medicine and director of the Vermont Center for Immunology and Infectious Diseases, Ralph Budd, M.D., received the Senior Researcher of the Year award. Budd is an accomplished author of over 80 publications, has received grants totaling over $50 million, and researched many groundbreaking discoveries, including the identification of "memory" T cells in the immune system.
- Professor of Neurological Sciences and Pathology, William Pendlebury, M.D., was recognized as the Continuing Medical Education (CME) Educator of the Year for his ongoing commitment to provide meaningful learning opportunities for local and regional providers. Pendlebury has been the course director for five gerontology symposia and the annual Geriatrics Conference since 2011, and a faculty member since 1984. His research focuses on basic and clinical aspects of Alzheimer's disease.
- Associate professor of Surgery and division chief of Urology, Mark Plante, M.D., was honored with the Graduate Medical Education (GME) Educator of the Year award for demonstrated excellence in teaching and mentoring teaching residents and/or fellows, and serving as a source of inspiration. Plante recently resurrected the urology residency program after a 15+ year hiatus.
Also presented were two $25,000 UHC Trust Teaching & Education Grants to support faculty-initiated research in the development of effective teaching tools, modules, curriculum or workshops. The first was presented to Ted James, M.D., associate professor of Surgery and director of the Clinical Simulation Laboratory, and Elise Everett, M.D., for their project, "An Institutional, Interdisciplinary, Post-Graduate Hand-Off Communications Curriculum Using Simulation." The second was presented to professors of Medicine Mark Levine, M.D., and Virginia Hood, M.D., for their project "Development of a High-Value Cost-Conscious Care Experience for Residents and Fellows."

Net Neutrality clarification
Hi. First time posting and I admit, I haven't been keeping up with the new net neutrality laws with the FCC. And as a college student who's always online, I feel like I haven't been doing my part. I'm just now starting to look into the new proposed policies and I need some clarification. These are all the facts I think I know, so please correct me on any if I'm wrong. 1. ISPs want to make it so that big companies that use a lot of bandwidth on their servers (Netflix, Facebook, etc) pay for a "fast lane" 2. Most consumers want to make it so that no one pays for a "fast" or "slow" lane. But if this happens, then what will ISPs do with services that are using too much of their bandwidth (like Netflix)? 3. If they don't pay for a "fast lane", then they'll be deliberately put onto a "slow lane" with all the other companies who don't pay.If no one pays for the "fast lane", then everyone will be put on the "slow lane"...therefore everyone would be equal? Please correct me if I'm wrong on any of these. Thanks in advance! (and sorry if this post looks weird. Formatting is a little strange on Internet Explorer)

Day 20: Make Your Cooking Cure a Cooking Habit
The Cooking Cure Spring 2014
Day 20: Friday, March 28
Today's Assignment: Plan next week's meals, and then keep it going!
The Cooking Cure: See all assignments so far here
Grab the confetti and start the parade — Congratulations! You've made it through 4 weeks, 20 meal-"curing" assignments, and all the way to the finish line of our first-ever Cooking Cure. It feels pretty good, doesn't it?!
We've talked a lot these last few weeks about setting goals, kicking old habits and finding new ones, and ways to get ourselves out of cooking ruts. The challenge going forward is making sure these new habits really stick.
Cure My Cooking Problem! Help Me Pack a More Exciting Bento Box.
The Cooking Cure Spring 2014
As the Cooking Cure draws to a close, let's talk lunch one more time. As we go forth, lunch boxes in hand, sometimes the barrier to packing a lunch is just the boredom of routine. Reader craftybeaver is dealing with this by learning how to do lunch bento-style — can you help?
Leftovers & a Throw-It-All-Together Salad

Day 19: Make a plan for your leftovers.
This morning I had a moment of confusion when, despite having just unloaded the dishwasher, I saw that my storage container drawer remained all but empty. Then I remembered the dozen or so containers of leftovers in the fridge. Ah.
Our Readers Take The Cooking Cure: Here's How Day 18 Went for Them
The Cooking Cure Spring 2014
Yesterday for The Cooking Cure we asked our readers to make a list of "stuff I like to eat" so that when all else fails, you have this list to back you up for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Stock your fridge with a few of your favorites so you always have a little something to eat when your cooking motivation is low.

We're nearing the end of the week — and the end of our 21 meal Cooking Cure challenge! — and that probably means that the leftovers have started piling up in your fridge. Today, we'll take stock of that fridge situation and work on developing one more good meal-planning habit: dealing with the leftovers.
Cure My Cooking Problem! What Should I Eat for Breakfast Before I Work Out?

The Unusual Way I Make Tortillas (And Why Weeknight Tacos Always Win)
Liveblogging The Cooking Cure Spring 2014
Day 18: Make a "stuff I like to eat" list.
My family moved to Europe when I was just six weeks old and we lived there, mostly in Vienna, Austria, until I was 14. My husband likes to joke that my bread obsession comes from growing up in a city where no weekend morning was complete without riding the city bus to pick up fresh-baked Semmeln and Schwarzbrot from the bakery down the street!
The bread was out of this world, true, but there were some cravings that couldn't be satisfied by Viennese grocery stores in the 1980s, like Mexican food. The details are hazy, but my mom tells me that at some point someone in their group of American expat friends came up with a recipe for homemade corn tortillas (which were really more like corn crêpes) and passed it along to my mom, who passed it to me when I went to college. To this day it remains the staple of my go-to weeknight meal, and my very favorite tortilla-ish recipe:

Cure My Cooking Problem! Help Me Eat More Fruits & Vegetables with Breakfast
The Cooking Cure Spring 2014
The goal of the Cooking Cure is to help you find the resources you need to make the meals you want to eat. So in these last few days of the Cure, I'm going to bring up some reader cooking challenges from the first few days to keep the energy flowing to your breakfast and lunch endeavors.
Here's a great one from Ketherian, who wants to eat more fruits and vegetables with breakfast. Can you help?

Between now and 2025, 60% of the world's GDP growth will happen in 600 cities, according to a report from McKinsey & Company.
Companies looking for growth markets will face real challenges positioning themselves to take advantage of the new growth markets. McKinsey reports that almost 40% of the growth will take place in 400 mid-sized urban areas in emerging markets, but many Western companies have never even heard of these cities.
"That's more growth than the combined total of all developed economies plus the emerging markets' megacities (those with populations of more than ten million, such as Mumbai, São Paulo, and Shanghai), which together have been the historic focus of most multinationals," wrote Richard Dobbs, Jaana Remes, and Sven Smit in their McKinsey Global Institute report.

text: Blue Ridge Reef & Pet 102 WNC Shopping Ctr Dr. Black Mountain, NC 28711 (828) 669 – 0032 www.blueridgereef.com Dog Food Facts Commercial Dog Foods There are a myriad of dog foods on the market, and each claims to be nutritious and complete. However, most commercial foods are sorely lacking in many ways. To be blunt, most commercial dog food is garbage! By that I mean Iams, Eukanuba, Science Diet, Purina, Pro Plan, and many other brands are bad for dogs. You don't have to become a nutritionist to learn to tell the quality of a food. Below are some tips to reading ingredient lists that will help you pick the right food for your dog and your budget. First things first Dog foods ingredients are listed in order of weight. At least the first two ingredients should be a named meat. If listed as meal, such as "chicken meal" this simply means that the water has been removed before processing, and there is more of that meat by weight. Dogs are carnivores, and meat is key to maintaining their health. By-Products, by no means By-products basically should read as "garbage in this food." Poultry by-products can be 100% chicken feet by weight. While this isn't harmful to a healthy dog, it is largely indigestible, yet counts on the nutrition chart. It is impossible to ascertain the quality of by-products, but it is safe to assume that they are of so little value that they can't be used elsewhere in the human or pet food industries. Hay is for horses Many commercial dog foods are mostly made up of grain. This is primarily filler and has little nutritional value. It does nothing to promote good health and just winds up in your dog having bigger stools. Corn and wheat are two of the leading causes of food allergy problems, and even brands such as Science Diet, Eukanuba, and Iams are loaded with them. Brewers rice is also a low quality grain and is essentially a filler. Corn gluten meal and corn bran are the remains of corn after the nutritious parts have been removed. Avoid foods containing large amounts of grains. If they appear at all, they should be well down the list of ingredients. Large breed/Small breed/Puppy/Senior/etc. Ideal dog foods are good for all life stages and most all dogs. Some giant breeds may need less protein, but as a general rule, your dog will thrive on a quality grain-free food. Manufacturers split up the foods into categories more for marketing reasons than age/breed specific nutrition. An Online Source www.dogfoodanalysis.com takes no money from any dog food companies, and offers free analysis of most every food on the market. These foods are given a star rating from one to five stars. They created a 6th star after some high end grain-free foods came on the market a couple of years ago. While this site may not be the only resource you might need, they are a great starting point in determining the quality of foods you are considering. - Chip Bridges

It is painfully apparent now that the PS4 is simply not ready for launch; the logical step for most buyers is to wait until early next year when the first major patches arrive. With the severe lack of major titles at launch, early adopters were touting its media features as a means to pass the time until the games starting dropping in early 2014. Sadly, these features have been delayed/cancelled or are behind a paywall (eg. Music/Video Unlimited). Early adopters shouldn't be treated like this, vote with your wallet, don't buy a PS4 (yet).
C|net PlayStation 4 review: The next generation is here. Now wait.
For those that are still on the fence over which console to get:
No music supported (MP3 or CDs) – Most likely due to Sony's paid music service which is supported (even whilst playing games).
No DLNA support, so no videos or music streamed from your PC etc. – You will however be able to rent movies from Sony's Video Unlimited or use one of the paid services like Netflix or Hulu.
Remote play will not function over 3G; strongly recommended to be on same LAN segment. Also not supported by all games.
The friend assist function isn't available at launch (one of the cool features PS4 will have over the Xbox, kind of the remote desktop of gaming).
The suspend/resume game function won't be available at launch.
Sharing recorded videos – No voice-over commentary and no YouTube upload!? (voice-over must be done real time)
PSN users will not be able to change their User IDs. I find this amazing; could it be a push to use real names and Facebook link?
No external HDD support to expand storage - PS4 owners can however, replace the existing HDD at their own expense (1TB $120 from Newegg).
There appears to be framerate issues with PS4 games running at 1080P (COD: Ghost) - Most likely launch issues but if this is an important title for you then here is more info
No 3D Blu-ray (movie playback) support.
PS4 appears to be unbalanced/unstable – maybe they will include stick-on rubber feet with the console.
Lack of games - only two major titles available on launch day (Polygon: Knack 6/10 - KZ4 5/10)
And at last but certainly not least:
A rather insidious addition to the PS: Sony filed a patent last year to insert advert breaks during game play. The idea is to pause your game, play an ad and then resume your game. A possible revenue for F2P games?

Well I went by a new lumber place and they had a beautiful chunk of east indian rosewood. I couldn't help myself. So I snagged it up and took it to the shop. Since lately I've been addicted to hand planes what better way to use such a nice chunk of wood. So here it is. It's about 8" long, the bed is set at 45 degrees, and the pin is made from birdseye maple. Unfortunately I couldn't afford a really nice iron but this one seems to do the trick pretty well. It's a buck brothers 1 5/8" iron it's about an 1/8" thick. Maybe I can splurge next time and get a nice iron but for now this one will do.

Nice job on this plane. Don't be too hard on Buck Bro's, I've had pretty good success with my block plane and jack plane from them. Granted, both required a fair amount of tuning first, but they've served me well. But anyways, a beautiful plane, no matter what iron is in it. :-)

After a few steps, Boomer starts to run, and then there's a blipverty montage of Helo and goodbyes and rainy hugs and day-for-night sex and robots and beatings. It's like a Burt Bacharach song. Boomer runs and runs, and finally calls for Helo as she gets back to their makeshift camp. Helo has awakened, and asks what's going on. Boomer gasps that she saw Cylons headed this way: "We gotta travel fast, even faster than before." Helo grabs her arms and asks what's changed. Boomer says, "Everything. Just trust me." Helo nods and says that he does, and off they go.
In the box, Leoben doesn't seem to having a good time. His lips are bloody and there are few wounds on his face. Starbuck tells him that if he were human, he'd probably start offering false information about now, just to get a break for a few minutes. Leoben stares up at her and gasps, "I am more than you could ever imagine. I am God." Starbuck forces out some giggles and pretends to be impressed, saying that they'll give him a few minutes off for being so entertaining. Leoben explains that everyone is God: "I see the love that binds all living things together." Starbuck gets all, "Love? You don't know the meaning of the word!" which is one of my favorite soap-opera lines, along with "Carlton, you insufferable bastard!" Leoben says that mankind repaid God's love "with sin, with hate, corruption, evil." Well, yeah, but we're good at that. We gave God our best stuff! That's respectful! Leoben concludes, "So then he decided to create the Cylons." Starbuck angrily says, "We created you. Us. It was a stupid, fracked-up decision, and we have paid for it!" She argues that slaughtering her people was a sin, and evil, and that Leoben's evil, too. Nyah. Leoben wipes some blood off his jaw and smears it on the table as he asks, "Am I?" He says, "I see the truths that float past you in the stream." This guy's probably a big Norman Maclean fan, with all the religion and fishing stuff. Starbuck says that she can indulge Leoben's obsession with bodies of water, and does another one of her enigmatic nods. The soldier in charge of beatings leaves, along with the guard standing inside the door. Starbuck sits down at the table and stares at Leoben. Leoben says that he could kill her right now. "I could get to my feet, rip your skull from your spinal column, crash through that door, [and] kill the guard in less time than it's taking me to describe it to you." Starbuck asks why he doesn't, then. Leoben leans back and says it's not time yet. Starbuck smirks skeptically. Leoben suddenly yanks his hands apart, snapping the cuffs chains easily. He tosses the metal table out of the way and, before Starbuck can react, he grabs her by the neck and shoves her up against the doorframe. Neat! He holds Starbuck pinned there with one hand, and holds the door shut with the other as the guards try to get back inside. Leoben stares at a choking Starbuck and calmly says, "I have a surprise for you." Behind him, the soldiers race in from the door at the other end of the room. Leoben doesn't resist as the soldiers pull him away. Starbuck collects herself and tells Leoben, "Now the gloves come off."
