How We Met…
Chantz and I met while working at the Lazy E Ranch in Guthrie, OK. He had moved down here on a whim and so it is by pure "chance" that we met at all. Since we were both stuck there over Christmas, I invited him over for our Lazy E Family Christmas. He had been working there for about five months, but this was the first time we actually had a conversation. After dinner we were all just mingling around talking with everyone and people started fading out to go home to bed for work the next morning. Except Chantz. Before we knew it, 2 AM had rolled around and we were still just sitting there chatting it up about absolutely nothing important, and it was perfect. Before he actually left (after I reaffirmed that I need to have at least three and a half hours of sleep to be functional at work) he invited me to go riding some time out at the other farm he was working at. Well, that was the end of that…I was sold.
The Proposal
Chantz has the great ability to make me laugh. He gets this from his smart alec sense of humor. This same sense of humor he had the night he proposed. He was over at my Condo after our "random" trip to the mall (wink, wink), and was acting very awkward. He sat down next to me with a very suspicious, half-cocked smile on his face. When he started to tell me how much he loved me, how happy he is, and so on and so forth, I started to get very suspicious. I wasn't sure if he was going to make a joke after or just start laughing randomly with the cheesy smile he was wearing. Then he pulled out the beautiful ring, and asked me to be with him for the rest of our lives. It wasn't exactly planned out or elaborate, but it was perfect.
I do think the best part was when he told me of his original plans. He was going to tie the ring in my horse's (Joe) mane and call for me to come look at him. Then he realized I would be so distraught about Joe that I would not notice the ring and it would probably get dropped and lost. He knows me so well.

It was fun while it lasted. We'd like to thank everyone who followed our journey through Europe. Andrée has finished a semester of class in France which means she's done her degree!
Since this is the last post and Andrée has graduated there are feelings of sadness and happiness. I feel that these 2 songs are appropriate:

Victor Martinez, 2 years, 25 mill
Brennan Boesch, ARB Elg. (1)
5 mill in cash
Joel Hanrahan, ARB Elg. (2)
Andrew Lambo, Milb
Pirates get: Martinez who would be a massive upgrade over Barajas, even denfensively. Also get Boeasch who played miserably but has hit 28 HR in the minors and did pretty well for the tigers in 2011.
Tigers get: Reliable and fairly cheap closer(5-6 mill id guess) to replace Valverde. They also get rid of Martinez's 20 mill which they could use to acquire an outfielder(Swisher?) or a DH(Ortiz??). Also Lambo could be a 4th outfielder for the Tigers in the near future.

Exercise & Fitness
Motivation Point
Exercise and Sickness
Whether to work out while unwell concerns many exercisers. Although more research is needed, the general guideline is that if you have symptoms of a common cold, with no fever and all symptoms above the neck, moderate exercise such as
should be okay. However, if your symptoms include fever, extreme tiredness,
muscle aches
or swollen lymph glands you should refrain from exercise until you get better. When you do start exercising again, progress slowly and gently. Even if you do have to take a week or two off because you're feeling under the weather, it really won't make that much difference to your overall
fitness level
if you're consistent with your program the rest of the time.
Your answer to should you go ahead and exercise -- or roll over and get some extra
? depends on the
fever test
the neck check
, says the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). The cutoff point, many doctors say, is 100.5 degrees. Listen to your
and take it easy if your body temperature is at or above that mark. The danger of working out with a fever, the ACSM says, is that you run the risk of kidney ailments, heatstroke and fluid
problems as your
temperature climbs even higher.
If your temperature is normal, but you still feel under the weather, take the "neck check" to see whether you should exercise. If your symptoms are above your
-- sneezing, stuffy nose and watery eyes -- by all means go ahead with your regular workout, the ACSM says. But if your symptoms are below the neck -- nausea,
achy muscles
and coughing, all indications of the flu -- you're better off laying low for a couple of days. Your immune system is compromised with the flu, and if you work out, you won't recover as well because a lot of the
in your body is going to exercise, not recovery.
If you get sick often, why? Is there something you can do about it?
Once you've been exposed to a virus, the likelihood of your getting sick depends on a number of factors, including advancing age, whether you smoke, high levels of
, poor
and lack of
. Exercisers frequently report that they experience less sickness than their sedentary peers. (The American council on Exercise reports that 61 percent of 700 recreational runners studied had fewer colds after they began running, while only four percent reported the frequency had increased.) During moderate exercise, various immune cells circulate through the body more quickly and are better able to kill bacteria and viruses. So every time you go for a brisk walk your immune system receives a boost that could increase your chances of fighting off respiratory infections.
Exercise won't guarantee that you won't get sick. In fact, sometimes too much exercise can put you at greater risk of developing a virus. A high percentage of marathoners and triathletes get sick immediately after a big event. The theory is that too much exercise may suppress the immune system and make you more susceptible to catching viruses.
Tips to avoid sickness
Here are some general tips to reduce your odds of getting sick.
Eat well:
The immune system depends on many
and sufficient
caloric intake
for optimal functioning. Make sure you consume plenty of
fruits, vegetables
and grain products and drink a minimum of eight glasses of
per day.
Get lots of sleep:
The American council on Exercise reports that major sleep disruption (three hours less than normal) has been linked to immune system suppression.
Include moderate levels of exercise in your weekly schedule to ensure your immune system receives a regular boost.
Avoid overtraining:
Space vigorous workouts and race events as far apart as possible. Allow for adequate recovery periods and rest days.
Just because you miss a workout or two when you're sick doesn't mean your fitness level will suffer. Once you pass the neck check and the fever test, you can be active again -- but listen to your body. Getting back to your routine will be easier than you think.

Travel reviews by Mr.C. from Gloucestershire
Maybe our last safari
On this trip, I visited Zambia between 30-May-2012 and 18-Jun-2012 and I travelled with 1 other person.
Having visited everywhere before you often wonder if things will change and not be as you remember them.
Well this did not happen and our memories once again have only been reinforced by this visit. The lure of Africa remains embedded in our blood and the sights and smells, sun rises and sunsets will never fade.This may be our last safari but you can never be certain.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Having used Expert Africa a number of times over the years we have never been able to criticize their service and thus do not have any suggestions to make.

Zambia the perfecy safari destination
On this trip, I visited Zambia between 30-May-2010 and 17-Jun-2010 and I travelled with 1 other person.
We really cannot fault any aspect of our safari.
We have been to Zambia on a number of occasions since 1998 and to say we have fallen in love with the country would be an understatement.The people the country and the wildlife have to be experienced.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:.
None. Just keep up the service which we cannot fault.

Another great Safari
On this trip, I visited Zambia between 20-Aug-2008 and 6-Sep-2008 and I travelled with 1 other person.
We have been fortunate that we have been on Safari on a number of occasions and have a great love of Africa. We have always had a great experience and a fair few adrenalin rushes when out in the Bush.
From the start of itinery planning with Expert Africa until the time we reluctantly have to come home we have always received friendly firstclass care and treatment.
Suggestions for improvement:
I cannot think of any improvements as I have always had firstclass treatment.

text: I'm not really into the whole "black metal" scene and from what I heard I think MOST of it is just too silly. However I read an on-line article regarding Wolves in The Throne Room which intrigued me. I went to iTunes downloaded what I could (which was Cleansing from Two Hunters) and I immediately fell in love with them. I proceeded to purchase the rest of the album as well as Diadem of 12 Stars. On both albums I was not disappointed at all, although I would say Two Hunters seems to be more well crafted. I constantly play them when I can because I can't seem to get them out of my head. So for those who aren't into "black metal" but are looking for something heavy I'd say gives these guys a chance you won't regret it. For those who are die-hard "black metal" fans, get it you won't be disappointed. Best tracks? If I had to pick… anything on Two Hunters (there are only 4 tracks so there isn't much room for picking and choosing but you really can't go wrong with any of them). Be prepared though tracks can last anywhere from 6 to 20 minutes so an album with only 4 songs can actually equal out to a 12 track LP. This is some of the best new music out there that I've heard in at least 3-4 yrs.

Weekly Lottery telephone calls
From 4 July 2014, we're calling people who have previously had contact with Breast Cancer Care at some time in the past to tell them about the Weekly Lottery. So that you can tell whether a call is genuine:
- the call will come from 020 3167 1136 and this number will be visible on phones that have caller display
- the person will say they're calling from Katann on behalf of Breast Cancer Care
- they'll know your Breast Cancer Care number, as well as your name and address.
The only information available to the calling team is contact information, so they need to ask for payment over the phone if you're happy to subscribe to the Weekly Lottery. If you do so with a debit or credit card, your payment will be securely processed while you are on the phone. This will be followed up with a letter in the post in the next fortnight.
If you're ever worried that a Weekly Lottery call may not be genuine, you can call 01234 715 708 to check. Our Operations Manager, Jade Smith, will investigate immediately. Our callers are very aware that what we're asking won't suit everyone, that any support is given on a voluntary basis and, above all, how much we greatly appreciate kind support of Breast Cancer Care's work. Only 1% of our funding is from government, so the Weekly Lottery is vital for raising money for our work. We're deeply grateful to each person who subscribes.
The Breast Cancer Care Lottery helpline is 0345 092 0838.

CATEGORIES Movies, Sundance Film FestivalAs the Sundance Film Festival winds down, with the last few scattered outbreaks of deal-making taking place before tomorrow night's awards ceremony, a lot of festival-goers are asking: What does it all mean? How successful was Sundance this year in trying to turn away from Hollywood glitz and embrace its independent roots? How indie is a festival that gives an award to a Funny Or Die short starring Will Ferrell? And can there ever be such thing as too much Kristen Stewart? Read on for efforts to answer these questions, plus buzz, star sightings, news, interviews, reviews and more from day eight of Sundance. As the Sundance Film Festival winds down, with the last few scattered outbreaks of deal-making taking place before tomorrow night's awards ceremony, a lot of festival-goers are asking: What does it all mean? How successful was Sundance this year in trying to turn away from Hollywood glitz and embrace its independent roots? How indie is a festival that gives an award to a Funny Or Die short starring Will Ferrell? And can there ever be such thing as too much Kristen Stewart? Read on for efforts to answer these questions, plus buzz, star sightings, news, interviews, reviews and more from day eight of Sundance.
Daily Buzz: Attempts to summarize the character of this year's festival come from NY Times critic Manohla Dargis, who abandons the task to focus on the films she liked, and from Todd McCarthy, the critic from Variety (subscription required), who finds the festival a lot less rebellious than it's billing suggested. Perhaps the best summary comes from critic Marshall Fine at Hollywood and Fine, who grasps the paradox of a festival that wants to promote challenging art as well as provide a commercial marketplace. It's pretty much impossible to do both at the same time, Fine observes, since it's usually the least challenging films that prove the most commercial. Still, it seems everyone continues to come to Park City every year in the hope of discovering a film that both takes artistic risks and attracts large audiences, because every once in a while, such films do show up at Sundance.
To sum up the fest, IndieWIRE takes a number-crunching approach, polling many critics and bloggers to determine the best and worst films of the festival. Surprisingly, the little-buzzed-about documentary 'GasLand' topped the list of films in competition; among films out of competition, the highest-rated was graffiti artist Banksy's 'Exit Through the Gift Shop.' Topping the worst list was spoiled-teen drama 'Twelve' (no surprise, given how badly the screening went). Read the full list here.
Meanwhile, celebrity winter fashion patrol continues; today, instead of hats, it's scarves, in this one-page gallery of Sundance star sightings at the Chicago Sun-Times. These and more celeb spottings -- here's Elton John, displaying his own winter neckwear, as he attends the premiere of 'Nowhere Boy,' the biopic of his old pal John Lennon -- come courtesy of Cinematical's daily digest, "Sundance in 60 Seconds."
News: In what may be the last of the big deals at this year's Sundance, Variety (subscription required) reports that the Weinstein Company has paid $1 million for the Ryan Gosling-Michelle Williams marital drama 'Blue Valentine' and is close to a deal for Afghan War documentary 'The Tillman Story.' Screen Daily says a deal is near for controversial noir 'The Killer Inside Me.' And indieWIRE gives details on this year's biggest deal, the $5 million sale of family dramedy 'The Kids Are All Right' to Focus.
The big awards ceremony isn't until Saturday night (it'll stream live at 8PM MST on the Sundance website), but indieWIRE has the lowdown on some early awards. Leading the pack of Short Film prizewinners is 'Drunk History: Lincoln and Douglass,' starring Will Ferrell and Don Cheadle. It's the latest in a series of 'Drunk History' shorts directed by Jeremy Konner and posted at Ferrell's Funny or Die. IndieWIRE also notes the winners of the Sundance/NHK International Filmmakers Awards.
While it happened outside Park City, Disney's shuttering of Miramax Thursday has to be hitting Sundance festival-goers hard. Sundance and Miramax put each other on the map in 1989 when Miramax's Harvey and Bob Weinstein purchased Sundance entry 'sex, lies, and videotape' and marketed it into a box-office hit. After that, Sundance suddenly became the place to go to find talented, original, yet commercial filmmakers, and Miramax became the distributor that could find an audience for any indie film, no matter how offbeat.
The next 20 years for the Weinstein brothers were the stuff of classic Hollywood rise-and-fall stories, with the familiar glories ('Pulp Fiction,' 'The English Patient'), excesses, awards (the 'Shakespeare in Love' upset victory at the 1999 Oscars), failures, controversies and disappointments. In 2004, Disney wrested the company away from the Weinsteins, and while Miramax continued to have some successes ('No Country for Old Men,' 'There Will Be Blood'), those successes were often shared with other distribution partners. Little money was coming in, and it seemed clear the company's days were numbered.
Meanwhile, the brothers' Weinstein Company is still a player at Sundance (with the 'Blue Valentine' purchase) and within the indie world, though they don't have the deep pockets they used to have. Maybe they'll buy the Miramax name back from Disney, and maybe the half-dozen unreleased Miramax films will eventually see the light of a projector. Still, for the Weinsteins and everyone else at Sundance, this has to seem like the end of an era. A good obituary for Miramax is at The Hot Blog.
Interviews: IndieWIRE's Anne Thompson has a lengthy video Q&A with 'The Kids Are All Right' writer/director Lisa Cholodenko. IndieWIRE also has a profile of 'Lovers of Hate' writer/director Bryan Poyser. Cinematical talks to Mark and Jay Duplass, the makers of the John. C. Reilly-Marisa Tomei-Jonah Hill romantic comedy 'Cyrus.'
Reviews: IndieWIRE likes 'The Kids Are All Right,' despite its conventional suburban melodrama. IndieWIRE also has a roundup of critics' responses to backwoods drama 'Winter's Bone,' 'Blue Valentine,' and road comedy 'Douchebag.' Cinematical has high praise for 'Blue Valentine,' especially Gosling's and Williams' performances. Cinematical also reviews Manhattan real-estate comedy 'Please Give' ("a movie you'll like but probably not love"), Kristen Stewart's stripper drama 'Welcome to the Rileys' (James Gandolfini and Melissa Leo are great but Stewart resorts to her usual tics), and 'Exit Through the Gift Shop' (the site's favorite documentary at Sundance).
The terrorist comedy 'Four Lions' has earned lavish praise so far; it gets a more measured, in-depth response from the Guardian. The article also contains a two-minute video excerpt, which is very funny.
Video: Why has 'GasLand,' Josh Fox's documentary about the environmental effects of natural gas drilling, topped indieWIRE's poll as the best film in this year's competition? Maybe it's the humor and horror of scenes like this one, in the film's teaser trailer.

I feel the BBC is biased. Certain DJ's keep spouting on as if FM wont be about for long. Me thinks it (the BBC) are trying to put it peoples minds that FM is old and defunct. The truth is that it is still of a higher quality than DAB. I have several FM tuners which out perform DAB in the sound quality stakes. There is another issue which the public should know and that is that DAB circuitry is not very service friendly. I'm speaking from experience as I service TV's and Hi-Fi. The cost of repair is prohibative and my customers end up having to buy a new unit. Not from me I hasten to add as i don't retail. One more thing to think about is who stands to gain from all the broadcast licenses that can be sold on a multiplex broadcast system. Multiplex broadcast is a way of transmitting more stations down a frequency with a narrow bandwidth a.k.a. digital sky broadcast and freeview. Ever noticed the poor quality of some of those broadcasts? That's down to sending as many stations as they can get away with down one frequncy (with low bit rates) on which of course they have an advertising platform. Rant over. All I'll say is that I have no problem with people making money but sound quality should not suffer for it. Cheers.

Northampton Town: 'We will not be bullied or threatened'
A statement has been released by Northampton Town Football Club after it emerged that the Ricoh Arena are to sue the club for effectively 'stealing' its customer.
– Northampton Town Football Club statement
Northampton Town Football Club confirms that Arena Coventry Limited (ACL) has threatened the club with legal action in respect of Coventry City FC playing at Sixfields Stadium. The club was approached by Coventry City to play at Sixfields, so that Coventry City could fulfil its fixtures. The Football League has endorsed this arrangement.
The threatened action by ACL is without any legal merit and is not conducive to the greater good of the game. Northampton Town Football Club will not be bullied or threatened.
It follows Coventry City agreeing a deal to play at Northampton's Sixfields Stadium for at least the next three years.

a beautiful clean amber pour with 2 fingers of sticky off white head which caused great lacing. smells of pine, soap, caramel, grapefruit, peaches. a bitter piney hop flavor up front, changing into a floral hoppy taste, more piney bitterness follows and a sweet malty flavor/bitterness lingers in the back. medium body, creamy mouthfeel, nicely carbonated.
a very nice wet hopped ale. very piny, and bitter yet sweet and tasty! not bad by any means!

Central Waters is using fresh hops from Wsiconsin and the Midwest Hops and Barley Co-op. Glad to see that.
The pour is light amber to golden. Thick head has staying power. Provided some nice lace.
Nose is bit understated for style - grassy, a bit of carmel malt.
Entry is fairly full and builds out nicely. Flavor of carmel malts, floral, perfumey hops, grass. Snappy bitterness, but balanced beer. Biscuit flavor midmouth. I like the flavor profile of the hops. It is not a northwest "C" hop blast, but a unique Wisconsin indiginous flavor. Spicy and floral.
We need more of this type of beer! It is local and fresh. It brings local flavor to the market, delivered well. Nice effort.

Poured from 22oz bottle into CBS snifter. Served chilled...
A) A deeper amber with a little haze. This had 2 fingers of foam, which settled quickly to a thin dusting. Good amount of lacing.
S) Mild aroma of grass, light flower petal, orange peel shavings. Faint sweetness in the background.
T) A very grassy flavor, earthy hops, lots of citrus bite, light malt sweetness attempts to balance this one out.
M) A lighter medium body, with moderate carbonation. The citrus zest lingers on the palate. It's a crisp brew with a slightly dry finish.
O) I was looking forward to trying this one out, and while it wasn't a total disappointment, it was not up to snuff in comparison to several other wet hop brews I've had the pleasure of drinking recently. On the plus side, there's nothing offensive about this beer, and it is pretty easy drinking. It was worth a try...

A: light copper color. Ever so slight haze. Forms a moderate bright white head. Very light lacing.
S: light, but bright. Light aroma of caramel malts, followed by bright citrus aroma. Grapefruit, with a little touch of lemon.
T: light toasty malts. Citrus hops,mostly grapefruit. A pleasant flavor, but very light.
M: on the lighter side of medium. Good, sparkly carbonation. Mild, but persistent bitterness comes across stronger than it is on the light body.
O: a nice beer. Very drinkable.

22 oz. bottle shared by nuplastikk. Thanks Greg!
The beer is mostly clear, with only a slight haziness, appearing orange to maber hued with a small white head. The aroma offers some tangy citrus, namely grapefruit amd orange. Lightly floral with an odd bitterness in the finish. Flavors don't work in tandem with one another. Light to medium in body. Overal, this was just eh...not a repeat for me.

Pours out a hazy golden-amber color with two fingers of soapy head on top with remarkable stability for about three minutes and some very pretty patterns of lace left behind on the inside of the glass. Lighter body and crisp, sharp carbonation, perhaps a tad spritzy.
Smells and tastes of fresh, green, leafy hops with mostly herbal and grassy qualities, but not very much in terms of resinous or citric hopping, which makes the spectrum feel slightly unfinished overall. The malt backbone is a pretty standard pale / cracker combo. I would have preferred somewhat more complexity than this. It's a really good looker in the glass, though!

Poured from bomber into Duvel tulip. Two separate pours, one out of fridge and one after sitting out for about a half hour. No real difference between the two in my eyes and palette.
A: Dark orange with a small white halo of head. Decent amount of particles in the pour. Not offputting, but nothing extraordinary here either.
S: For a wet hop, where are the hops? Trying really hard to find it, but I'm smelling a lot of earth and malt. No citrus, no pine. Disappointing based on expectations.
T: Same as smell. This may be a solid pale ale, but I'm picking up really nothing from the hops. I really had hoped for more, but it's certainly not a bad beer by any means.
M: May be the most solid part of the beer. Very easy drinking and palatable. If this wasn't in bomber form, I could see putting a number of these back without thinking twice about it.
O: I need to stop going into new beers with high expectations. No other way of putting it...I'm let down with this one.

22 oz bottle poured into a Sam Adams pint glass
A - pale amber, half inch of white head dissipates quickly, leaves some decent lacing
S - citrus and mango are predominant, a slight whiff of caramel and spearmint
T - clean, very clean, lemon zest along with more tropical flavors (mangoish), a bit of toasty malt, green apple and piney bitterness on the back end, caramel is more intense as it warms and apricot shows up too, really fun to keep sipping at
M - moderate carbonation, fairly light bodied, a little bit resinous in the finish
O - I like it, very drinkable and well balanced but I get the impression that CW is just trying to show off how restrained it can be using wet hops. I really wasn't expecting the subtlety of the flavors here, it takes a lot of mulling over. I'm sure it will leave a lot of hopheads disappointed and the nose was too subdued for me but still a great beer.

22 oz bottle poured into a Central Waters tulip.
No date or info.
A - Hazed through and through, light trickles into the beer shining it's deep golden orange color. A modest ivory head caps the beer briefly before retiring to a sudsy ring of foam with tiny fingers of lace creeping up the glass.
S - Central Waters' Hop Harvest has a juicy hop nose with ripe mango and pineapple, light notes of green apple, and a smooth trace of lemon citrus on the back end. Stiff caramel malt and grainy pale base build a sturdy foundation for the hoppy aroma.
T - The ripe mango and pineapple exotic fruitiness follows through to the flavor with a touch of resin and woodsy pine appearing along the finish. The beer's great balance can be attributed to the underlying sweet malty caramel and grainy pale flavors.
M - This Wisconsin wet-hop brew is quite smooth and medium-light bodied, evenly distributing balance with moderate bitterness and crisp carbonation finish for a complete wet-hop experience without additions of "green" impurities.
O - It's always exciting when Wisconsin brewers release beers brewed with Wisconsin ingredients. It gives me a sense of pride to drink such wonderful brews, and Central Waters' Hop Harvest is no different. This hop-forward-yet-balanced pale ale showcases some of the west-coast style hop characteristics while maintaining a beer that can be easily drank all the way through.

amber liquid quickly overcame the glass and made a huge head of white foam that quickly came down the sides of the glass. rich lacing covering everything in sight without an issue,
the aroma was classic nw pale with a deep resin filled hop profile that filled the air. deep piney hops and hints of biscuit filled malts are all over the place here, really just leaving a tremdously big profile in its wake. incredible feel as it was nearly full bodied but with huge carbonation. nice bite of hops up front melts into a smooth and even malt profile and a sublimly dry finish

Rebecca - Even on the road we make it our priority.
Mark - Talk about the song "I Need You To Love Me."

Living in Papua New Guinea, no iPhone app available here. But I did find a workable solution. First, when the match is ready to start, I sign in to FIFA.com and follow the play-by-play and fan chats there. Second, I tune into streaming audio (free) at ABC.net.au. Finally, I open the windows (depending on timing) and listen to the crowd at the bar across the street. It's not exactly like being there, but it is definitely an immersive experience.July 5, 2010 at 3:58 a.m.
unmoored - Glad to help! Hope you are still able to watch the games, big one coming up tomorrow, US vs. Ghana.June 25, 2010 at 8:39 a.m.
Thanks for the soccer-saving tips. In our tiny town Time-Warner Cable dropped ESPN and ESPN2 channels sometime between Tuesday's morning & afternoon games, the day before the U.S. was to play. I can't get this cable yanked out soon enough.June 25, 2010 at 7:44 a.m.
USA and England go through to the next round! USA top of the group! Fantastic games!June 23, 2010 at 10:57 a.m.
Kyle - thanks for the explanation!June 22, 2010 at 9:40 a.m.
holein1 and KyleC...I'm guessing the game was shortened by whomever was telecasting it, ESPN?, because it got out of hand in the second half. I was at the gym for only a little over 45 minutes and the half started shortly after I arrived and ended well before I left. I don't know how someone could go about cutting the boring parts of a soccer game, though. Most of the time, you'd end up with only the commercials.June 22, 2010 at 8:07 a.m.
No "we feel sorry for you rule" unless you bribe the officials. 90 mins is length of the game broken into two halves. Soccer games can sometimes flow well or stagnate like a muddy pool of water and sometimes the half time break can break the stagnation or change the flow dramatically. Truth is that North Korea did not have the stamina to play the long game and looked tired after the first 45min. That and the fact they are not a very skilled team.
I do, however, fear for their safety when they return home to their Dear Leader!June 21, 2010 at 10:42 p.m.
wind- i'm not a soccer whiz, but i've heard that the referee is the only person who knows the actual time. the time you see is a guess. the ref may choose to stop time or not, during penalties etc.
correct me if i'm wrong, please. i don't know for sure.June 21, 2010 at 8:25 p.m.
KyleC...This is off topic, but you seem to be the one to ask. I know nothing about soccer, but I was sort of a captive audience at the gym a little while ago and Portugal and N.Korea were on the TV screen without sound. When I started the bike, it was half-time and Portugal was ahead one-zip. The second half and by the time I hit five miles, it was SEVEN-NOTHIN' and the game was over. There was no way they played a 45 minute half. Does soccer have a "we feel sorry for you" rule wherein they stop the game when it is out of hand? Thanks for any information you have.June 21, 2010 at 8:13 p.m.
Kyle - Will check out the Mobi.tv app. Hear you on the Twitter failing, seems to go down right before each game. When it's online though, I really enjoy following all the tweets related to the World Cup.
scout - Yes! I'm a fan. I've always watched the games on Univision, and most of the time those were live. I know many watch on ESPN, but the announcers on Univision are hilarious. All coverage is in Spanish though, but some things you can understand no matter what the language. You saw Elvis? Was he a big guy? I think I saw him too in the stands.June 21, 2010 at 5:34 p.m.
cj u a soccer fan!! i put the "horn" app on my iphone. Now i hear bee sounds just like the real thing and it drives me nNuUtsS...
but all these stations/sites need to say live if live...i watched one game till I saw the score on the my ph and was empowered to check score before any game now. I know the time zone issue but "live" is "live" or for the unlucky ones seems live.
I have seen elvis in the stands. he is alive.June 21, 2010 at 4:16 p.m.
Great article CJ! I have the ESPN iphone app with the live streaming commentary and stats. Works great for me. In addition I hear that the recent Twitter "Fail Whale" extraganza has been due to the immense support of the World Cup - i certainly get a lot of my soccer fix from social networking sites.
I also have the Mobi.tv iphone app which (for a fee) allows you to stream live video from ESPN and ABC of the soccer games but it only really works on WiFi and 3GJune 21, 2010 at 4:07 p.m.

THERE'S A SAYING in the design world that every wall is a blank canvas. But if your walls have been looking just a little too, well, blank lately, take heart, because design showrooms are newly awash in rich colors, unexpected textures, and bold patterns that the average homeowner can appropriate. "I think people are trying to be a little more creative with their space and have a little more fun with it," says Erin Davis, showroom manager at EcoModern Design in the Boston Design Center. "Playing with the wall surface creates a more dynamic space." When there's something unexpected on the walls or even — the latest vogue — on the ceiling, Davis adds, the room achieves a more layered look that draws the eye around.
Here, a few of the freshest ideas.

To me it seems like what has been the most trouble has been the o line. Besides Albert it seems like this o line has struggled (i know fisher is a rookie and understand he is going to struggle at a new position) the guards and center have no excuses they all have experience some more than others. I do hope for their sake and this offences sake they get better i believe in our coaches but idk if i believe in the guys playing on the interior of the o line. That being said they should get better as the coaches work with them to correct their mistakes and weaknesses. If they can improve and give Alex time to look for a open receiver he should begin to develop a trust in the receivers and the offense should begin to get better.
If the interior o line and fisher continue to struggle then Dorsey might have to replace at least the interior guys and we will struggle latter on this season. I do believe fisher will get better and I do think that Albert will be back I don't think they would shift fisher back to the left and undo all the things he has and will learn this year. we will see with time if the o line gets better or not til then this is all speculation. I just hope they happen to get better so they can focus on other needs in the draft. we do need another WR who we would draft would depend on where we end up picking at there is quite a few good wrs this year and hopefully one will fall to us in the draft should Dorsey decide to draft one.

Witham looking to reignite their play-off push
7:56am Tuesday 19th February 2013 in Sport By Simon Spurgeon
Witham Town will be looking to bounce back from their Ryman League division one north defeat at Aveley as they begin a run of three home games on the trot tonight.
Waltham Abbey are the visitors to Spa Road tonight in the league (kick-off 7.45pm), followed by Saturday's home game against AFC Sudbury and then the visit of Wroxham on February 26.
Manager Garry Kimble admits the defeat by Aveley knocked his team's chances of finishing in the play-off places at the end of the season, but feels good results in the next few outings could put them back in the frame.
However, they will have to do it in the first two without central defender Tom Devaux and forward Rob Whitnell, as they are set to miss the first two games of the three-match home run through personal commitments.
Keeper Danny Sambridge is also out, but is on the comeback trail after a knee injury and is likely to feature for the reserves on Saturday before coming back into contention for a spot in the first team.

I broke out the suitcases this morning and started to pack. I'd hoped that Hubby would pack his own, but alas, that is not to be. I managed to get my suitcase pretty much packed, and tomorrow I will have to sit him down and figure out what he is taking.
We drove to Rite Aid Pharmacy today because I needed to get those little plastic bottles for shampoo, conditioner and sunscreen that will go through Security. I also needed to buy panty hose. Now I almost never wear them, but with two formal nights, I need to have them with me.
I was checking out when the sales clerk asked me how I said my name. I told her and she said that she was related to my cousin Janet's husband Dave! Thus, it is a small world and strangely, she and I are related in a weird way.
The funny thing is that I have known her for a while, and always liked her. So today I got a new friend/relative.
We arrived at home and I started thinking about what 3 ounces liquid containers I needed in my back pack, and I asked myself if I had flip flop sandals. I could have sworn I did. I looked and looked and about the time I was giving up, I found them. They needed some cleaning, but I have them to wear when I am either at the beach, or at the pool.
So everything is coming together. Just keep your fingers crossed that we can make all out flights on Wednesday morning.

29 Steps, 1078 Hours
We're big fans of making the dissertation into a series of small, concrete steps. That way, the dissertation seems doable, and you always know exactly what you have to do on it. One good place to do this is in conceptualizing the basic processes of the dissertation. There are 29 of them. Already, the dissertation seems more manageable, doesn't it?
Many people believe that the 29 steps required to complete a dissertation have to take a long time. Typical estimates range from one to five years following your exams, with two to three years the most common. We strongly disagree. We believe most students can complete dissertations within nine months or less, even while they are working in half-time positions. Yes, you heard correctly. Nine months from start to finish, including everything, starting with figuring out your topic all the way through defending.
We don't pretend that everyone can complete a dissertation in nine months. Your particular project may require that you take more time to do some of the 29 steps. But remember: You get to make choices about the kind of project you do for your dissertation. If you make choices that add steps or that add to the length of any of these steps, you are extending the time it takes to cover the route.
Obviously, to complete your dissertation in nine months, you have to spend the hours doing the actual work of the dissertation--you have to spend time sitting down and writing. You can't be doing work that doesn't contribute to the dissertation like cleaning the house or reading e-mail. Our timetable will work only if you are making good use of the hours you put in.
So here's our suggested timetable for the dissertation journey: We've put it in hours because that makes the processes ones you can do when you have even an hour here and there. Put in the hours, and you'll get a dissertation.
- Step 1. Engaging in a conceptual conversation: This is a conversation where you (and, ideally, your advisor) map out the pre-proposal for your dissertation in an extended conversation. Time: 10 hours
- Step 2. Creating the dissertation pre-proposal: In this step, you make the key decisions about your dissertation: Research question, categories of your literature review, data, methods of collecting and analyzing your data, significance, and the chapters of your dissertation. Time: 5 hours
- Step 3: Approval of the pre-proposal by your advisor: Here's where you talk through your pre-proposal with your advisor, modifying it as necessary. This conversation should end with agreement between you and your advisor on the elements of your pre-proposal. Time: 2 hours
- Step 4. Collecting the literature: You collect the literature relevant to your project. Time: 40 hours
- Step 5. Coding the literature: Review and code your literature. Time: 60 hour
- Step 6. Writing the literature review: Create a conceptual or organizational schema for the literature review and write the review. Time: 40 hours
- Step 7. Writing the proposal: Write the proposal using as a guide your pre-proposal. Time: 30 hours
- Step 8. Review of the proposal by your advisor: Your advisor reads and suggests revisions to your proposal. Time: 40 hours (of course, you will be doing other work to move your dissertation forward during this time)
- Step 9. Revising the proposal: Revise your proposal in line with your advisor's suggestions. The revisions should not be major because the proposal follows the pre-proposal approved by your advisor earlier. Time: 10 hours
- Step 10. Defending the proposal: If your department requires a defense of your proposal, defend it before your advisor and the other members of your committee. Time: 120 hours or 3 weeks (this isn't all time on task but allows time for committee members to read the proposal)
- Step 11. Obtaining human subjects approval: Obtaining the approval to collect your data from your university's human subjects review committee. Time: Add hours if this step is required for your study
- Step 12. Collecting the data: Collect your data. Time: 150 hours
- Step 13. Transforming the data to codable form: Transcribe your interviews, run your statistics, or do whatever is required to get your data in a form you can analyze. Time: Add between 40 and 120 hours if this step is required for your study
- Step 14. Coding the data: Code your data based on your research question. Time: 40 hours
- Step 15. Developing a schema to explain the data: Develop an explanatory schema that explains in an insightful and coherent way your data. Time: 10 hours
- Step 16. Writing a sample analysis: Write a sample section of your analysis--perhaps five pages--so that your advisor can look at it and tell you if there are any problems with your approach. You want to know before you've written up a whole chapter or chapters in that same way. Time: 5 hours
- Step 17. Review by your advisor of the sample analysis: Your advisor reviews and provides feedback on your sample analysis. Time: 2 hours
- Step 18. Writing the findings chapter or chapters: Write your findings or analysis chapter(s) featuring your explanatory schema. Time: 40 hours per chapter (if three chapters, for example, 120 hours)
- Step 19. Writing the final chapter: Write the conclusion chapter of your dissertation. Time: 20 hours
- Step 20. Transforming the proposal into a chapter or chapters and preparing the front matter: Revise your proposal to turn it into your first chapter or your first three chapters, depending on the format you are using for your dissertation. Also prepare your abstract, table of contents, acknowledgments, and lists of figures and tables. Time: 5 hours
- Step 21. Editing the chapters: Edit all of your chapters for substance and form. Time: 80 hours
- Step 22. Review of the dissertation by your advisor: Your advisor reads the dissertation and makes suggestions for revision. Time: 80 hours (of course, you are doing other work during this time, such as formatting the manuscript)
- Step 23. Revising the dissertation: Following your advisor's suggestions, revise the dissertation. Time: 40 hours
- Step 24. Approval of the dissertation by the graduate school: At many universities, the format of your final draft is reviewed by someone in the graduate school. Time: 40 hours (this process varies greatly from university to university, so check what is involved at yours--you may not need this much time)
- Step 25. Making final formatting revisions: Make any formatting changes required by the graduate school. Time: 5 hours
- Step 26. Review of the dissertation by your committee members: After your advisor has approved your dissertation, distribute the dissertation to the other members of your committee and give them two weeks to read it. Time: 80 hours
- Step 27. Defending the dissertation: If an oral defense is required at your university, defend the dissertation. Time: 2 hours
- Step 28. Revising the dissertation: Complete any revisions your committee members want you to make. Time: 40 hours
- Step 29. Submitting the dissertation: Submit the dissertation either electronically or in hard copy, whichever is required by your graduate school. Time: 2 hours
Total hours required is 1078. If you are working 40 hours a week on your dissertation, that translates into 27 weeks or 6 1/2 months. Let's frame this another way: The average person watches about 20 hours of television a week. At a minimum, you could finish your dissertation in one year if you write when everyone else you know is watching TV.
Our timetable doesn't include the time for human subjects approval or putting your data into codable form, so add time if you'll need to do either of those. These are the cases when your dissertation is likely to take closer to nine rather than six months. Yes, despite what we said at the beginning of this chapter, we actually think most people can finish in a little over six months, but we thought telling you that earlier might have been hard for you to believe. But now we're ready to acknowledge what we really think: A high-quality dissertation can be done in six to seven months. In fact, we know it can because we've seen many students do exactly that.
After reviewing the 29 steps, you might be thinking to yourself that the dissertation process we've outlined is too simple and that we have trivialized what should be a complex, sophisticated intellectual endeavor. But we've seen the steps succeed time and again precisely because they aren't complex. We encourage you to save your complex thinking for your data analysis and to give the steps a try.
You also might be thinking that if we only knew the unique circumstances that you are experiencing, we'd have to adjust our timeframe of 1078 hours. That might be, but we doubt it. We're asking you to suspend your assumptions about your unique difficulties temporarily. We're pretty confident about how well the steps work, but you won't have the opportunity to experience success with them if you don't give them a try.

While walking up your first path on the right, you are heading to the west side of Castlewood Canyon. Close to the crags, you will see two boulders on you left sitcking straight up side by side. Walk through these two boulders heading south. As soon as you come to the end of the boulders, turn to your left, hop down off the rock about 3 feet turn left once more and here you are.
There is a boulder directly beneath and behind you, so you will want a pad. Also, plan on getting a few scraped knees and elbows.

Our Science – McMahon Website
James B. McMahon, Ph.D.
The development and validation of cell-based assays for the discovery of potent reagents which selectively target cancer cells have been long-term goals of our Program. Since the early 1980's, continuing advances in cell culture techniques have allowed for remarkable breakthroughs in cancer cell biology. Early in vitro studies involving neoplastic transformation of rodent cells have provided valuable insights into the carcinogenic process. The ability to propagate both normal and malignant cells from a variety of experimental animal species set the stage for the necessary refinements of technologies to allow for the maintenance of human cells and tissues in vitro. Our laboratory has been at the forefront of the establishment and characterization of human tumor cell lines and their normal cell counterparts for use in bioassays. With the establishment of the NCI 60-cell panel and the creation of the Compare analysis program, many new classes of anticancer compounds were discovered. As was the case with many of the early cell-based screens, designed to screen for cytotoxic agents, most of the compounds were of limited clinical potential. The new era of genomics and proteomics along with advances in automation technologies are now providing insights into the molecular pathogenesis of cancer. These technologies will provide unprecedented opportunities for discovery and development of novel, molecularly-targeted agents for cancer.
Our primary goal is to use this ever-increasing knowledge base to develop and characterize novel cell bioassays which will target specific molecular targets and/or pathways. New in vitro assay formats and endpoints will be utilized to serve as platforms for examining the effects of test compounds on cells engineered with reporters linked to specific molecular targets. It is hoped that establishment of cellular assays based on this approach will quickly lead to the discovery of new, effective anticancer compounds with unique mechanism of action.
Though the main emphasis of research in the MTDP is aimed toward reducing the human cost of cancer, the program proactively interacts with collaborators to address other health-related concerns of high priority to the DHHS. One example of this type of interaction is the current collaboration between the MTDP and USAMRIID to test antiviral compounds, previously discovered in the MTDP, against a variety of emerging threats including the ebola virus and the virus responsible for sudden acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). In addition, MTDP's previous discoveries of potent anti-viral natural product peptides has resulted in the establishment of a worldwide network of collaborators who are employing the peptides for the microbiocidal protection from HIV. Through the responsible development of such collaborations, the MTDP extends the products of its screening and isolation efforts into areas of significant national and international need.

As the final returns for the 2011 signing day are coming in, I can't help but think of the lost opportunity in the football program. Statistically, this is the worst recruiting class (per Rivals.com) in the last 10 years, since the data they have only goes back to 2002. Our current national ranking is #48 and #6 in the new Pac-12. We've landed a mere three 4-star players, the least since 2005. And this is occurring despite the ongoing USC probation and massive downgrade at the head-coaching position over there.
My view on the CRN hiring was that it was a poor gamble given his previous track record, but that at least he would improve the recruiting so that a better talent pool would be in place for an eventual successor. Nothing in the first three years of his tenure suggests to me that he is a quality head coach, but his first two recruiting classes were ranked very highly (I credit 2008 to KD, but CRN and DW did hold the class together).
The way the coordinator replacements were handled only reinforces my view that was previously based upon the on-the-field performance of the team. I know there have been numerous posts about the lack of committment from the administrations, lack of funds, etc., but in spite of that the recruiting efforts over the past six years should have yielded FAR better results. Explanations are numerous, but the bottom line is that good coaches win quickly and with less talent. You see it throughout sports in general and in college football in particular.
For all the complaints about the lack of depth in the program, consider the following table:
Nat Pac-10/12 4-Star
Year Rank Rank Recruits
2011 48 6 3
2010 8 2 12
2009 14 2 11
2008 13 2 12
2007 40 6 6
2006 17 2 7
Every program has it's share of busts and injuries, but there is no credible explanation for our lack of on-field results with this recruiting history that doesn't start with sub-par coaching. CRN can roll out the myriad cliches about working hard, better results, etc., but words don't score touchdowns.
I'm not concerned the Seto is ex-SC like others (or Chow for that matter), in fact I think hiring coaches from successful programs is generally wise. I am concerned about the nature of the dismissals of both coordinators and the hiring process, however, and again that speaks to the quality of the head coach.
Now, maybe 2011 is the year when the team comes together, when youth matures, a QB emerges from the rubble and the defense flies to the ball. Maybe the foundation is in place and we are on the road to prominence. Given the past three years, though, I wouldn't bet on it, and fear that the coordinator turmoil and the decline of the recruiting pool this year is a precursor to a regime change.

After Sony let W magazine give us the first fantastic look at Rooney Mara as Lisbeth Salander in "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," they've gone ahead and dropped the first look at Andrew Garfield in "Spider-Man" themselves, and well, the studio is still batting 100%. We really dig the new look of the Spidey suit, and Garfield's young scarred visage with the backpack slung over a shoulder indicates the picture is headed in the right direction.
Of course, Andrew Garfield is Peter Parker with Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, Rhys Ifans and Irrfan Khan as the villains, and Martin Sheen, Sally Field, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Julianne Nicholson, Annie Parisse, Chris Zylka and C. Thomas Howell also among the cast. Marc Webb's put together quite the ensemble, and this is one superhero reboot that we're feeling optimistic about.
"Spider-Man" hits theaters on July 3, 2012 in glorious 3D.

Modern bridal shower outfit
Tomorrow I head to the Middle East for the wedding of a very dear friend of mine, but first I thought I'd share a fun outfit I got to wear for her garden party bridal shower a few weeks ago. All the guests were asked to wear hats, but I thought I'd do one better and find a fabulous fascinator to wear a la the Brits. Of course my first thought was Jennifer Behr, and she did not disappoint! They sent over the most beautiful black floral fascinator….a perfect complement to my black and white polka dot dress! Thanks Catanna & Jennifer!

Man gets 3 months for scamming golf organizers
A man who scammed golf-tournament organizers by selling hole-in-one insurance and then failing to pay out was sentenced to three months in jail.
Seattle Times staff reporter
A man who scammed golf-tournament organizers by selling hole-in-one insurance and then failing to make good on prizes was sentenced Friday in King County Superior Court to three months in jail.
Kevin Kolenda, 56, pleaded guilty in October to two counts of selling insurance without a license and one count of first-degree theft.
He was given credit for time already served in jail and was not taken back into custody on Friday. He also made the final payment on $15,000 restitution.
Kolenda was originally charged with five felony counts of selling insurance without a Washington license in 2012. After he failed to show up for a court hearing that year, a bench warrant was issued for his arrest and he was taken into custody in December in his hometown of Norwalk, Conn.
He was extradited to Washington in 2013.
"It's rare that we have to go to these extremes to rein in a scammer," Washington State Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler said in a statement released when Kolenda was extradited. "But Mr. Kolenda's been thumbing his nose at regulators for years. Arresting him seems to be the only way to get his attention."
According to court documents, Kolenda started a company called Golf Marketing in 1995 that he ran out of the Norwalk home he shares with his parents. The business, which changed names several times throughout the years, sold insurance to golf organizations that offered prizes at tournaments, according to insurance-commissioner investigators.
Investigators said tournaments would typically pick a certain specific hole on the course and offer a prize if someone got a hole-in-one there.
Kolenda's company offered insurance on the prize, charging a premium that ranged from between several hundred dollars to more than a $1,000, depending on the amount of the prize, according to charging documents.
The prizes were seldom won, according to the Insurance Commissioner's Office, but when they were, Kolenda wouldn't pay.
In some cases, the charities or organizations that hosted the tournaments had to come up with the prize money. In others, the prizewinners agreed to forgo a prize.
Kolenda first came to the attention of the Insurance Commissioner's Office in 2003 when he was illegally sold prize-money insurance for a tournament at Gold Mountain Golf Club in Bremerton. A golfer made a hole-in-one at that tournament, but Kolenda refused to make good on the $10,000 prize, charging documents say.
In 2004, he refused to make good on a $50,000 prize won during a tournament at the Royal Oaks Country Club in Vancouver, Wash., court documents said.
That same year, the Insurance Commissioner's Office issued Kolenda a cease-and-desist order and fined him $125,000, court documents say.
Yet Kolenda continued to run his business, according to court documents.
In 2010, he sold coverage for a $25,000 hole-in-one prize at a golf tournament in Snohomish and, once again, declined to pay despite numerous notarized forms attesting to a hole-in-one, according to the documents.
Jeff Cornish of the Grass Roots Golf Foundation, which raises money to teach golf to underprivileged children and which sponsored the Snohomish tournament, said during Friday's sentencing hearing that Kolenda's action hurt his charity's reputation and, by extension, the children who benefit from the work it does.
Kolenda has also been accused of running his scam in numerous other states.
He still has a website that explains his entrepreneurial style, defends his business practices and features a biographical section called "The man, the myth and the legend."
Nevertheless, Mark Couey, the director of the Insurance Commissioner's Special Investigations Unit, said he thinks Kolenda will not be plying his trade again in Washington.
"I think he got the message," said Couey after the hearing. "I don't think he liked being in jail."

Dr. Seuss has been a favorite story teller for many years. His characters are whimsical and strange, while still imparting thoughtful messages. A Dr. Seuss nursery will be silly and fun for both you and baby. Whether you recreate an entire book cover on one of the walls, or introduce the characters in accessories and framed book covers, your nursery will definitely be a fun place to be.
No Dr. Seuss nursery would be complete without a representation of some of the author's most well-known and insightful quotations. Get stencils and paint the quotes right on the wall, or print them out on colorful paper and frame them for the wall. Choose one quote to feature over the crib or on a prominent wall, and then make the other quotes smaller. Since the writing in Dr. Seuss is often shown on the page in whimsical form, you don't need to worry about writing the letters in a straight line. In fact, it's actually more in keeping with the theme to display the quotes in curvy lines, or however they are actually written in the book.
Choose Characters
Dr. Seuss has many characters, so you won't be able to present them all in the room. Stick a few instead. It not only makes it easier to find decorations, but it makes it easier to get a uniform color story in the nursery. If you have twins, Thing One and Thing Two from "The Cat in a Hat" are an appropriate choice. Other characters that make a good inspriation include Horton the elephant from "Horton Hears a Who!" for either a girl or boy, Cindy Lou Who from "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" for a little girl, and Sam from "Green Eggs and Ham" for a boy. You can also use just the characters from a single story. Paint the character on the walls, or, if you are not good with hand painting, get a blown up image of the characters and stick them on the wall with tape or poster putty.
Premade Dr. Seuss bedding is available, so and obviously a good choice for your nursery, even if it introduces a new character. If you can't get this bedding, use a color that complements your characters. For example, if you use Cindy Lou Who as your inspiration, get pink bedding that matches her dress and tie red bows on the crib that match her hair bows.
The nature of Dr. Seuss stories is whimsy, weirdness, and fun, so goofy furniture is in order in this theme. Get a white dresser and paint it a vivid color, like yellow or red. Paint Dr. Seuss sayings or characters on each drawer. For instance, if you have four drawers, paint "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish" on the dresser, with one line on each drawer. Take a pattern from Dr. Seuss, like the red and white stripes from Sam's hat, and paint it along the side of your changing table or a side table.

Prince William Reveals He Wants Two Children With Kate
It's no secret that Prince William and Kate Middleton are keen to have a family, and today the future King has revealed that he wants to have not one but two children with his wife.
Whilst on a Jubilee tour of Singapore, a young boy asked the Prince how many children he would like, to which Wills replied 'two' without hesitation.
The Royal couple were also quizzed on other topics, such as what powers they would have if they were superheroes to which the Duke replied 'invisibility'. When teenager Jaz Heber Percy, 13, asked the same question to Kate moments later she said: "Kate said she had to be invisible if Prince William was, otherwise he would be able to sneak up on her."
Now we're used to hearing about the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's baby plans from so-called 'close friends' and sources every other week – but this time it's from the Prince's mouth!
As there's been so many reports that Kate is pregnant or will be by the end of the year – are you rooting for the Royals to have a baby sooner rather than later? Or do you think they should enjoy being a married couple for a little while longer?

Intent of your drill team blog?
By rosie in Where do blogs go?
So seriously what was your primary goal when you started your blog about the drill team? Was it to just to bring up old trash talk about the director or to justify your actions? You could have stepped down or ...

Ok, so once again. Where do the blogs go? Does the advocate just take one and all its comments off when they feel the right to? This morning several blogs on the drill team, opinions, facts, whatevers and now all ...

The new exhibition at the Design Museum is dedicated to 'exploring the meaning of memory in the digital age, with the demise of the analogue era our relationship and connection with personal memory, photographs, diaries, letters, time and ephemera is changing.' Bad English and press release jibber-jabber aside, the exhibition lives up to the Design Museum name and brand, in that it is well-researched, -historicised and -interpreted for both general and specialised audiences, while remaining beautiful to look at.
Did we mention that the exhibition is about Swarowski?
What the above description is trying to suggest is that the show itself attempts a return to harnessing the tangible, the real - and, by extension, the desirable. Swarovski have a rich history of presenting a platform for experimental commissions in art, design and architecture. The brand is one of the leading commercial fashion organisations to fully embrace new ways of conceptualisation, development and dissemination with a range of partner artists.
In addition to opening up the Swarovski archives, fifteen commissions have been made. The commissioned artists are: Random International, Fredrikson Stallard, Anton Alvarez, Paul Cocksedge, Arik Levy, Philippe Malouin, Ron Arad, Hye-Yeon Park, Hilda Hellström, Marcus Tremonto, Yves Béhar, Maarten Baas, Beta Tank and Because favourites Semiconductor and Troika.
Digital Crystal: Swarovski at the Design Museum is on until 13 January 2013.

Honking a wanger over the fence is cool. Honking one off an aircraft carrier? Infinitely cooler.
A buddy of mine sent along this link of interest. The South Atlantic League held the opening rounds of its Home Run Derby on the deck of the USS Yorktown. Apparently the wind was carrying everything out to sea, so there were a lot of 400+ foot bombs.

His bond continues to be set at $500,000.

Today's Link: Gettin' Wet with Sara B. and Margaret Cho

Yep, that'll happen.
This was a very nice idea, but I think it would have been even better if it had ended at the ellipsis.
Though I suppose that sort of subtlety perhaps wouldn't fit with the Medium Large tone. That's not a value judgment; a strip that regularly ends with bold lines such as "It's like someone mixed Christmas with an orgasm!" is not shooting for the subtle and would be less good if it were.
As punishment, the cupcake was chained to a rock, where its filling would be eaten by young Emily every day for the rest of eternity.
Just plain awesome. Would like to see the carnage that remained after the epic battle.
How quickly the forces of history conspire to render us irrelevant.
Um, adorable. Also, good choice in little girl names!
happy birthday emily!
one of my favorite strips
