I wish I could think about how terrible our basketball team was last night, but I keep coming back to the tragic death of one of my classmates. I wouldn't say we were "friends" but I interacted with him frequently in class and I can't think of a smarter, kinder, more genuine person. Rarely can you get such a clear picture of someone's personality from such limited exposure, but this guy was truly a nice person.
Everyone copes their own way, I coped by writing a song. The pictures included are from my four years at Purdue, I'm sure you can figure out the dates by some of the games featured in the slideshow. I'm not a "musician" and I've never really shared my work before, but if anyone can gain some comfort from this video then I want them to see it.
I'd bet that many of you are in the pictures that I took during basketball and football games. There is also a very good chance that Andrew is in those same pictures, as he was a Purdue sports fan. But don't look for him, and don't look for yourself. Everyone whose heart bleeds black and gold is in every one of these pictures. We are Purdue.
I love Purdue, and I love all of you fellow Boilermakers. Ever Grateful Ever True.

Detroit Red Wings
Joe Louis Arena
Game Time 6:30 PM CDT
St. Louis, MO- Where does one even begin with this post. The recent past has awoken a nasty night mare amongst blues fans. This nightmare is filled with blown leads, poor, flat performances, and goaltending that is sub par. It harkens back to a time when the front office begged the fans to just hold on, to believe in the team. A time when John Davidson did everything in his power to promise fans the Note would turn things around, that this rebuild would be worth it in the end. Well, I am here to tell you that things are not headed in such a rosy direction. Having been the red-headed step child of the NHL for more than 40 years will jade a fan base. We are a nervous bunch, its evident in every fan board you read that the fan base is once again concerned and headed toward critical mass and in a hurry. I will refrain from yelling out " The Sky Is Falling" but I will not make excuses for this team either. The time is now for the Blues to show that the last 8 years has been worth the fans patients. Years of loosing hockey and disappointing seasons have been the calling card of every blues fan. The St. Louis Blues have the talent to be a team at the top. The problem is they are not playing like a team with any confidence or talent. Sloppy give aways, no puck support, and at times soft goaltending are unraveling this team at an alarming rate. "In Hitch I trust", but that statement can only go so far if the boys wont buy into what he is selling. The ship is taking on water and the Blues have a choice in the very very near future that they must answer. Will they get out of this funk and get back to playing that game they way they should, or will they continue to falter and crumble like a cheap date who's had to many shots of tequila? I will never jump off the ship no matter how much water it takes on. I would, however, like the team to turn this thing around and get back to riding high on the open sea again.
Tonight the Blues skate back into Detroit looking to get things back on track. The Blues will have a tough time with the Winged Wheel as the Wings have found the path back to the Detroit way of hockey. The Blues will have to bring the physical play and bring it early. The wings in the last game dominated the physical play early and turned the Blues on their heads. The Wings got the Blues skating after the puck instead of being on it and controlling the possession game. David Backes said it best in a post game interview after being beat by LA 4-1 "We can talk all we want, but proof is on the ice and making a change there," "It starts with me and it goes down the list to everyone on the team's got to be better, more accountable. … There's no more great speeches that are gonna pull us out of this. It's putting the work in and doing it on the ice." Ken Hitchcock was quoted saying "You're in the NHL. You have a privilege of playing. It's not a right. We've got to play for the guys beside us. It's not take a couple of shifts off, then I'll compete, somebody else will do the job tonight. It's got to be everybody. We don't have a team that's going to have a 50-goal scorer score a couple of goals every night.It's going to be a collective effort. If we don't have 20 guys every night and 23 guys in practice working hard, it shows up in huge holes on your team." One captain and one Jack Adams award-winning coach is telling you exactly whats wrong with the team. It is a team sport and the team will have to play as one unit tonight if they want to stroll in to one of the toughest buildings in all of hockey and expect to come away with two points.
Keys to the game for St. Louis tonight are straight forward and simple. Tonight the Blues must limit the man advantages for the Wings. Detroit will make you pay more often than not when you give them the advantage. The next key for the Blues is to keep Detroit to the outside and far far away from Brian Elliott. Elliott is a good goaltender that at the current time is playing with very little self-confidence. Keeps the pucks out and away from him and allow for good views of the shot. The Blues either need to completely block the shot tonight or get the hell out-of-the-way and let Elliott see it and make the save. Jimmy Howard will make scoring goals harder than ever tonight. Standing on his head against LA making 45+ saves Howard is quickly pulling himself back into play off shape. The Blues have to get pressure on the puck and traffic in front of Howard. It has to come fast and it has to come often. The Blues can ill afford to fall behind in tonight's contest. With the "Wing Factor" always in play you never know what kind of crazy sh.. is gonna happen.
Hopefully tonight the Blues team we came to love from last season shows up and begins a path back to the top. Only the guys on the ice and sitting on the bench can make that happen. The fans can only do so much to give their team a shove in the right direction. Dear Blues, Please get off your arses and get back to competing like champions!
Tonight's line up for Hitchcock's Blues should look like this:
Forward Lines
Defensive Pairs
In Goal
Jake Allen
(Video) In case you forgot what the wing factor was.

If the U.S. Postal Service follows through on its plan to end Saturday mail delivery, rural Americans may be among those hurt the most by the decision. The end to Saturday mail could be particularly painful for "rural customers who live far from post offices and depend on letter carriers for government checks, prescription medicines and parts for farming equipment," Ledyard King of Gannett Co.'s Washington, D.C., bureau reports. While post offices would remain open on Saturdays, for access to mailboxes, that may be "little solace to residents, especially the elderly, who live in remote areas underserved by the Internet," King writes.
"The very principle of the Postal Service is to give universal service to everybody. If they don't do it, the people will lose that benefit in the rural areas," Paul Katzer, a letter carrier from Montrose, S.D., who serves 276 customers on his 130-mile route, told King. "The New York Citys, the Chicagos, if there's a need for delivery service, there's a company that will do it in those areas, but not out here. Rural America will be hurt by this." Groups that rely heavily on six-day service, including weekly newspapers and prescription mail-order companies, are protesting the proposal, but officials say the other "alternative is a significant across-the-board increase in postal rates and that would anger other users," King writes.
"Some people haven't quite come to terms with that. Just because you go to five-day (delivery), it doesn't mean the whole world collapses for them," Samuel Pulcrano, vice president of sustainability for the Postal Service, told King. "It's simply a matter of adjusting." Chip Sawyer, program manager for the Center for Rural Studies at the University of Vermont, told King while the proposal will hurt rural communities they should focus their energy on pushing for greater electronic access, such as expansion of broadband services."It would be worse for rural areas if they were not provided with universal high-speed Internet access in the near future," he told King. "If one is to assume that rural residents are using the mail primarily for paying bills and corresponding socially, then it would seem that those who would lose out the most with the removal of Saturday delivery are those who have the hardest time connecting to and using current Internet options."

The Golgi complex or Golgi apparatus is responsible for manufacturing, warehousing, and shipping certain cellular products, particularly those from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Depending on the type of cell, there can be just a few complexes or there can be hundreds. Cells that specialize in secreting various substances typically have a high number of Golgi complexes.
Golgi Complex: Distinguishing CharacteristicsA Golgi complex is composed of flat sacs known as cisternae. The sacs are stacked in a bent, semicircular shape. Each stacked grouping has a membrane that separates its insides from the cell's cytoplasm. Golgi membrane protein interactions are responsible for its unique shape. These interactions generate the force that shapes this organelle. The Golgi complex is very polar. Membranes at one end of the stack differ in both composition and in thickness from those at the other end. One end (cis face) acts as the "receiving" department while the other (trans face) acts as the "shipping" department. The cis face is closely associated with the ER.
Golgi Complex: Molecule Transport and ModificationMolecules synthesized in the ER exit via special transport vesicles which carry their contents to the Golgi complex. The vesicles fuse with Golgi cisternae releasing their contents into the internal portion of membrane. The molecules are modified as they are transported between cisternae layers. It is thought that individual sacs are not directly connected, thus the molecules move between cisternae through a sequence of budding, vesicle formation, and fusion with the next Golgi sac. Once the molecules reach the trans face of the Golgi, vesicles are formed to "ship" materials to other sites.
The Golgi complex modifies many products from the ER including proteins and phospholipids. The complex also manufactures certain biological polymers of its own. The Golgi complex contains processing enzymes which alter molecules by adding or removing carbohydrate subunits. Once modifications have been made and molecules have been sorted, they are secreted from the Golgi via transport vesicles to their intended destinations. Some of the molecules are destined for the cell membrane where they aid in membrane repair and intercellular signaling. Other molecules are secreted to areas outside of the cell. Transport vesicles carrying these molecules fuse with the cell membrane releasing the molecules to the exterior of the cell. Still other vesicles contain enzymes that digest cellular components. These vesicle form cell structures called lysosomes. Molecules dispatched from the Golgi may also be reprocessed by the Golgi.

Vonnie McGowan on the mend
April 24 is a date Vonnie McGowan looks forward to. It's her birthday and this year she turned 57.
But instead of a romantic dinner with her husband and opening gifts, she fought for her life on an operating table at Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood, Florida.
For three weeks, the music industry veteran was on life support with family and friends maintaining a prayer vigil, willing her to make it through the aneurysm and stroke that left her in a coma.
"God is good. God is real and he answered my prayers," a recovering McGowan told the Jamaica Observer last week from her Florida home.
"This whole experience has totally changed my life, it has taught me so many things."
That learning experience inspired her to start a breakfast programme at select schools in Jamaica. She said barrels containing the products are en route to Jamaica.
Also on McGowan's agenda is a gospel concert in Florida dubbed Vintage Gospel Revival.
"As soon as I am fully recovered I will be going all out to make it happen," she said.
Earmarked for the concert are Otis Wright, Barbara Jones, Norris Weir and Cindy Isaacs.
McGowan, who will undergo corrective surgery on tomorrow, worked for many years on radio in New York City and Florida, and was once publicist for lovers rock singer Sanchez.
She was also a promoter of reggae shows in New York City and South Florida, including the popular Nostalgia in Gold.

Town Square
Town Square Selective Moderating?
Original post made by delete-happy moderators? on Sep 5, 2006
Some of these posts are getting deleted that are not offensive in any which way.
For example, in the hummer thread someone replied saying it would cost just as much to fly to europe bleh bleh...that was offensive somehow.
the 'banning pit bull' thread went on and on with extremely rude and personal insults/comments yet it was only closed after 425 comments.
I guess "we are the sole judge of whether the content you post meets these Terms of Use" really means "If we don't agree with you, you get deleted"
the point of Town Square is to be a thoughtful gathering place for sharing commmunity information and opinion.
see the last word in that sentence?
it doesn't matter, it will just get deleted :)
on Sep 5, 2006 at 1:27 pm
It's not about one's opinion, it's how one expresses that opinion. Moderating is done by a human being, who is fallible. Sure, sometimes he goes overboard, and sometimes he waits to long, but overall the forums are well moderated.
Being a moderator is like being a referee in a boxing match, or a basketball game. Sometimes it's hard to make certain calls, but generally they do a good job because they're OUTSIDE the heat of the action.
Posters are usually focused only on their opinion, and thus often have a limited perspective of how their post contributes to or subtracts from the general tenor of the discussion.
Try posting what you posted before, but word it differently. :)

Sorry you object to our decision-making regarding inappropriate posts. If posters stick with posting their opinions and not characterize others, there will be no problem. There is plenty of evidence to show that we don't make deletions based on the opinion expressed...virtually every controversial topic has lots of conflicting viewpoints being expressed. This includes posts that are critical of articles in the Palo Alto Weekly.
We also will delete posts we deem to lower the quality of the discussion by trivializing the views of others or that are links to sites or images that undermine an intelligent dialogue.
The specific post you reference described Europeans as "losers." Other deleted posts on that topic included a link to a cartoon image of the world that was tasteless.
JL above is right: if we delete something you've posted, re-word the post and try it again.
Thanks for expressing your concerns about our monitoring. We're doing the best we can.
on Sep 5, 2006 at 2:20 pm
I noticed on the "Ban Diana Diamond" discussion thread that, for example, Doug Moran is allowed to post any kind of criticism he wants. However anyone post criticizing Moran is quickly removed.
Basically Bill Johnson considers anything that he does not want to hear as "lowering the quality of the discussion".
What is lowering the quality of the discussion in this city is these attempts at censoring free speech--whether it is the mayor turning over e-mails she does not like to the police or the publisher of the PA Weekly deleting posts he personally does not like.

Coaching Breakdown
Head coach - Gary Kubiak
As an old Broncos fan, I remember watching games growing up with him standing on the sidelines with a clip board as John Elway would do some amazing thing on the field, the watching occasionally when John was hurt and seeing Gary go in and play very well, everyone in Denver during those years knew 2 things 1 Denver had a great QB in John, and 2 that Gary could have been a starter for almost any other team.
He happily stood there game after game watching every decision made by his coaches and how they effected the game, He retired after something like 10 years and 10 full games played, spent a year back at A&M as RB coach,and was almost immediately signed by the 49ers as QB coach where he coached Steve Young. Then off to Denver again with Mike Shanahan, where he was the offensive coordinator and QB coach. He has been successful at every position he has ever held. But is not one of those guys that brings overnight success, much more of a build it through time. Note the Broncos haven't made the playoffs since he left and Shanahan the older is now relaxing for a season. All this to say Gary has a Coaching resume that goes back 35 years(I consider backing up Elway coaching time) with lots of success in lots of places.
Grade B+ (would be and A but no SB's as a head coach and has taken a while to get the Texans on the right track)
Kyle Shanahan
Short history of being a constant high performer, producing the 3rd best offence in the NFL his first year calling plays, has to be considered one of the top, up and coming coaches in the NFL, with a few more years of seasoning and consistent great performance he will be a HC somewhere. That said he has to prove himself a little more, mostly because football dynasties aren't just given out, but I would take him over Wade Phillips any day!
Grade A so far but still needs a little more salt.
Alex Gibbs,
Let me just say this guy should never be a head coach, should never be an O Cord, he should never do anything but O-line. But he does that better than anyone on earth. The Denver turn out another 1000 yard rusher every year thing, was because of this guy. Not the play calling, not the talent picking, it was great front line blocking and finding backs that where 1 cut and go guys. Most of those 1000 rushers where average talent, except Clinton Portis, and Terrell Davis.
During the three years with Gibbs on staff in Atlanta, the team led the NFL in rushing with 8,157 yards. A year a go, I predicted that in 2008 we would be a top ten run offense in the league and people thought I was crazy. We will be a great running team with anyone back there with AG coaching the line. But I'm very glad it is Steve Slaton that we have.
Grade A+ for what his current Job is
Joe Marciano
I'll just say that this is a guy who knows his niche and sticks with it, probably one of the top 5 in special teams in the league.
Grade A it would be an A+ if he could get Jacoby Jones to hold onto the ball!
Frank Bush
Seems well liked and respected but I can't think of a single stand out unit he has coached. I know he was Kub's first choice for this job when he got to town but he was tied up in Arizona at the time. However I'm in the show me the money mode, and to date I haven't seen where the other D-cords that Kub's has picked turned out very well.
Grade C With plenty of room to move up if he can prove me wrong on this
Ray Rhodes
I'm not sure what to think here he has had flashes of brilliance in his carrier, but, got in over his head as a head coach. That said a general solid guy for the Job and more than capable helping to build a great defense and knows a lot about being a DB. His role with the Texans isn't super clear but a good contributor to the whole teams success.
Grade B
David Gibbs,
I was a little unsure of him at first but 2 things have kind of turned my opinion, one His DB's have been really good everywhere he has gone. Two a statement by one of our DB's during ota's about his focus on technique, and how even if your a little slower you can make up for allot with technique. I think he could have a huge impact on this set of DB's, lets hope he does a great job turning this group into one of the best in the NFL. He also seems to be like Joe Marciano, he knows his niche and sticks with it.
Conditional Grade B and praying next years grade will be and A+
Bill Kollar
I hope I'm wrong about this but I wouldn't describe any of his units as great with the exception of the Falcons in 1998 that was nothing short of amazing vs the rush. Other than that I would call them average average to slightly above average. I hope I'm wrong here but just doesn't sound like a top tier kind of guy, again show me the money.
Grade C but prove me wrong! PLEASE!!!
Ray Wright
With the Texans this year, I have notice a significant pickup in number of players mentioning the conditioning coach by name, this seems like good news from my prospective. Maybe this year the guys will be in great shape and be about to out play the other teams just based on conditioning. I can hope can't I? Anyway I like the general vibe I am getting in this area.
Grade B
So here is the overall all grade
Offense A no surprise here
Defense B- just allot of guys with middle of the road resumes I hope the out preform their history!
Other B+ some questions but some solid performance over the years
Thoughts, Comments? Grades for folks I missed?

Make it a Large… Sorry, it's Banned
The New York City Board of Health approved Mayor Bloomberg's proposal to ban soft drinks larger than 16 ounces, if all goes well, the ban would be in effect on March 12.
There have been researches on the relationship between sugary drinks and obesity, which led to the proposal and approval of the large soda ban. With obesity becoming ever so prevalent, it is important to take measures to prevent further damage.
The law would affect establishments that receive inspection grades from the health department, including movie theaters and sports stadiums. Convenience stores are exempt along with vending machines and newsstands.
The restriction does not extend to fruit juices, dairy-based drinks, alcoholic beverages, and no-calorie diet drinks.
For the complete article published on the New York Times, click here.
And check out our earlier post regarding the proposed ban.
San Francisco Banned the Bag
Starting Monday, San Francisco joins several other cities in California to ban plastic bags in retail stores, and charging 10 cents for each paper bags.
Any stores found violating this law could be fined up to $500 for each violation.
San Francisco becomes another city in California to implement the policy of banning plastic bags, which is intended to make people think about the wastefulness of single-use products, and to protect the bay from plastic wastes.
Nothing is done without meeting challenges; many plastic bag companies as well as some retail stores opposed the ban and the bag charge.
The plastic bag companies argue that plastic bags can sometimes be better than reusable bags, like handling hot food from restaurants. Reusable bags can harbor bacteria if not washed frequently. And some high end retailers argue that it is silly to ask their customers to pay 10 cents more for a bag when they've just spent thousands of dollars at their stores.
No matter what the opposition argues, the law is in effect starting October 1st, so shoppers should prepare containers to carry their groceries or make a one-time investment in some reusable bags if they don't want to pay extra for bags.
A certain degree of plastic bag banning is happening across the world, whenever it is banning the plastic bags all together or charging customers money for a bag, it is great to see governments stepping up to reduce waste and protect the planet. But whatever the law dictates, it is more important for all the people to understand the purpose of it and follow it willingly.
So where will the ban happen next? Will New York be next in line for it?
You can read more about the ban on the New York Times published on September 28, and the article on Huffington Post on September 13.
And you can help by signing one of the two petitions to ban plastic bag in New York City.

About Us
Dashka Roth Contemporary Jewelry & Judaica
Dashka Roth moved from southern California to
New Orleans
in 1978, and opened La Petite Jewellerie on
Toulouse Street
in the French Quarter in 1979.
Ten years later she opened Dashka Roth Contemporary Art on
Magazine Street
, and 1-1/2 years later made a move uptown to a smaller shop on
Magazine St.
where she continued as Dashka Roth Contemporary Jewelry.
In 1994 she moved to her current location on Chartres Street where, as a survivor of Hurricane Katrina she renovated the building, and began living above the gallery with her husband, in the same space that his grandparents occupied over a half-century ago. Five years later, they moved out of the Quarter into their current home just a few miles from downtown New Orleans.
Dashka's background in jewelry began when she took private lessons from Ann Garland in Cambridge,MA, then later worked for Olde Hampshire Silversmiths in Chester Square, also in Cambridge. Next, Dashka branched out on her own, bought a few hand tools and a little silver, and began making jewelry and selling it in Harvard Square, where many artists sold their wares at that time.
Being basically self-taught with the tools of books and experience, Dashka decided it was time to go back to school. So she applied to, and was accepted at Rhode Island School of Design, where she enhanced her knowledge of jewelry-making. Subsequently, she enrolled in classes at the Gemological Institute of America in Santa Monica, CA. where she studied colored stone identification, diamond grading and jewelry repair.
Dashka's gallery was nominated in 1995 and 1996, and selected in 1997 through 2005 as one of the Top 100 Retailers of American Craft by the Buyers' Market of American Craft and Niche Magazine.
Two of those years, 1999 and 2001, she was selected as one of the Top Ten Retailers of American Craft. In 2006 the "Top 100 Retailers" designation was discontinued.

Meet the Band
As Stalker, Chicago-based musician Brendan Telzrow makes a terrifying mix of molasses-thick drone and chopped 'n' screwed hip-hop so heavy it's like having a squadron of tanks ride a slow procession over your chest. Currently releasing music via witch house affiliates Tri Angle, he also has the noble distinction of being the only artist we know of that can boast remixes of both These New Puritans and Lindsay Lohan on his CV. We checked under the bed and got a quick word in with the shadowy cove, who is currently recording his debut EP for the label.
* * *
So are you from Chicago originally? Or are you just living there?
I have lived in Chicago for seven years but I'm not from here originally. But I don't have much of an opinion on the place because I spend a lot of time inside. I enjoy it.
What were the immediate influences on your deciding to make music? When did you start out?
It varies, but they're commonly related to those studying the effects and implementation of frequencies that you hear in music and daily incidental exposure. Also, the art of pop music as a consumer based product. (Sigmund Freud's nephew and public relations pioneer) Edward Bernays' Propaganda could be a framework for my interests.
I started playing several instruments when I was younger. In high school there was a recording class, with computers being somewhat exotic then there was less supervision over the rest of the equipment. If you weren't a very serious student, you would take a drum machine and go abuse the reel-to-reel machines with about five people in a small padded closet.
What's the significance of the 'III' legend which is emblazoned on your website?
For a while I was treating a lot of appropriated tracks with a general pattern. The 'III' just refers to a certain group of them, but I think I exhausted everything I can do there.
At the risk of sounding cynical, is witch house not just black metal for seen-it-all hipster kids? Is it a label you're happy to ally yourself with? How about horrorcore? Illbient?
I don't know, the genres name you. I feel a lot better not thinking about that aspect. I enjoy listening to some things slowed down, but it's not the goal for me. I'm inspired by anyone using the tools they have to manipulate sound and media to impart or evoke a thought.
On your remix of 'White Chords' you make the line "I've got white chords running through my body" seem an expression of body horror straight out of a Cronenberg movie, is that something you can sympathise with?
Maybe it could have been in SHIVERS. I think there can be parallels there, sure. I feel a restraint listening to the original 'White Chords' but there is some angst there. Likewise Cronenberg shows us similar internal battles.
What do you find scary?
I also think These New Puritans and the acts commonly associated with witch house share a certain fascination with secret histories, would you agree? What's the significance of that?
I don't think the fascination is limited to one genre or medium even. It's inherent to keep secrets, from ourselves and others. To protect something. Knowing there are limitations, we know we're also protected from something foreign inside us.
What's your favourite horror soundtrack of all time?
Rosemary's Baby.
Which hip-hop MCs would you like to work with and why?
I'd rather work with a new and unproven MC, as long as the chemistry is there, and I could have more of a developing role in defining their sound. Aside from that, if I had the chance to work with any vocalist right now I would like Ke$ha, which is maybe not a popular viewpoint, but I've come to love her voice recently.
You contributed to a Lindsey Lohan drag remix series quite recently (for Tri Angle Presents: Let Me Shine For You, downloadable here), is there anything about LiLo in particular that you think is crying out for a chopped and screwed makeover?
It was a good template to extract different feelings from her music and find some other themes. I didn't notice this until recently, but there are actually seven songwriters credited for that track ('Disconnected'). In retrospect the completely vague but calculated lyrics make perfect sense, reinforcing the underlying themes of multiple personality in her career and a lot of popular culture. As much as I think about this stuff, most of the time I'm trying to not think about anything when I make music.
Is your name derived at all from the Andrei Tarkovsky film of the same name? If so, what qualities does the film possess that you hope to bring to your music?
I did watch the film sometime before using that name, so yes. It's not fresh in my mind so I'll have to address that some other time.
What've you got going on in 2011?
I'm recording my EP now for Tri Angle, and mixing some tracks for How To Dress Well. I hope to continue making music as much as I can.

I believe in the dark lord.
29 10 12 - 18:02
'I am a Satanist. I believe in the Dark Lord. His time is coming very soon. Christ's worshippers will be slaughtered. Babies will be sacrificed on the altars of temples to the dark prince, and fire will consume the earth.'
Apparently, this is from a Dean Koontz book/movie entitled Whispers and the actual quotation is:
I believe in the dark lord. His time is coming very soon. Christ worshipers will be slaughtered, babies will be sacrificed on the altars of churches and temples to the dark prince, and fire will consume the good and the weak...I look forward to it!
Thanks to our mentally deranged comment-writers for spotting that one.

Good old Necrophobic, they can even make a quote from a Dean Koontz movie sound pretty evil. What ever happened to Dave Parland anyway? Batman - 29-10-'12 20:41

We should not hurt Christians but instead ban their nonsense for its distraction from working class interests. More education fnunding and stronger teacher unions is the best way. Look how many people can read now compared to the horrible past. That is irrefutible proof of humanity together marching into the future against your forces of oppression, ingnorance and hatred.

President Obama looks like a lame duck on the world stage as US global leadership goes AWOL
President Bush may not have not have won the Nobel Peace Prize and was hugely unpopular at the dictator-friendly United Nations, but he was mightily feared by America's enemies. Many a tyrant shuddered after US tanks rolled into Baghdad and removed one of the most odious psychopaths on the face of the earth from power. Even the supposedly unbeatable al-Qaeda wilted in the face of the surge in Iraq, suffering huge losses and humiliation at the hands of US forces.
George W. Bush believed in American exceptionalism and wasn't afraid to show it. He also believed that human rights and the spread of liberty and freedom across the world really mattered, and would be an integral part of American foreign policy.
It is frankly hard to decipher what the current US administration believes in with regard to its foreign policy, except the language of appeasement and a belief in American decline as a global power. With the exception of Afghanistan, where the brilliant General Petraeus has recently been wiping the floor with the Taliban, the Obama administration is floundering in a sea of confusion on the world stage. And even in Afghanistan, military successes on the battlefield are being undermined by a destructive, artificial exit strategy set in path by the White House, which hands the long-term advantage to the enemy.
The latest provocation by North Korea, with artillery fired at the South and the killing of two South Korean marines, comes at a time when American leadership has gone AWOL on the world stage, and the White House looks weaker than it has been in decades. It is hardly surprising that America's enemies look increasingly bullish in the face of a president who makes Jimmy Carter look like General Patton.
And things look hardly better on the Iranian front, where the brutal and barbaric Islamist regime inches closer towards becoming a nuclear-armed state, which threatens the security of Israel and the future of the Middle East. In the meantime, the White House is expending a great deal of energy on signing a monumentally flawed new START Treaty with Moscow which actively undermines US interests, increases the strategic power of Russia, and significantly undercuts Washington's ability to deploy a global missile defence system.
In an increasingly dangerous world, Barack Obama has adopted a meek, deer in the headlights approach. While America's foes grow stronger, the United States appears weaker and more vulnerable. At the same time, US alliances with Great Britain, Israel, Japan, and Central and Eastern Europe have all taken a hit from a White House that has been more concerned with apologising to US adversaries than strengthening friendships with key allies.
Barack Obama looks increasingly like a lame duck president, not only at home but also abroad, as his administration faces an array of complex and highly threatening challenges. The United States remains the world's only superpower, but its status is being dramatically undercut by a striking lack of leadership in Washington. The Obama administration's "smart power" approach has been anything but, and the latest aggression emanating from Pyongyang is a stark reminder that America cannot afford to be letting its guard down, and needs to stand up to its enemies rather than appease them.

Potatoes are discouraged for a Diabetic. They are so good for you and I say as long as you eat it in moderation and pair it with a low GI dressing, once a month is OK.
Jami Sorrento was our June Daring Cooks hostess and she chose to challenge us to celebrate the humble spud by making a delicious and healthy potato salad. The Daring Cooks Potato Salad Challenge was sponsored by the nice people at the United States Potato Board, who awarded prizes to the top 3 most creative and healthy potato salads. A medium-size (5.3 ounce) potato has 110 calories, no fat, no cholesterol, no sodium and includes nearly half your daily value of vitamin C and has more potassium than a banana!
I decided to made a Green Goddess-style dressing using an avocado and buttermilk. I wanted to infuse as much flavor into the spuds so I made a court bouillon to steam them with.
Believe it or not but except for an occasional dollop of guacamole I have never eaten an avocado (and they are wonderful for you).
I added tomatoes and olives but you could add anything you think your family would love. Maybe some shredded carrots or hard boiled eggs?
Avocapato Salad
* 1 pound small new red potatoes, quartered
Court Bouillon:
* 1 spring sage
* 3 garlic cloves
* 1 bay leaf
* Stem of rosemary
* bunch of thyme
1. Steam for 15 minutes
2. As soon as they are done mix 1 T vinegar with 1 T dressing and cool.
* 1 small avocado
* 3 T champagne Vinegar or white wine vinegar
* 1 garlic clove + garlic from steaming water
* 1 anchovy, oil packed
* 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
* 2 tsp fresh lime juice
* 1 T agave nectar
* 1/4 cup olive oil
* 1/4 cup buttermilk
* 1 T fresh basil
* salt & pepper to taste
Place ingredients in a processor and blend.
Add chopped kalamata olives, grape tomatoes, and a minced shallot.
Some parsley for garnish.
This dressing goes as well on a lettuce salad or as a dip for crudites.

Though it's the birthplace of Alfred Hitchcock and David Lean, and boasts masters such as Mike Leigh and Ken Loach still working at the top of their game, there's also a rich tradition in British cinema of what one could politely call the "sex comedy". It began with the light smattering of smut provided by the "Confessions..." series of the 1970s and evolved into the slap-and-tickle blarney of the "Carry On…" movies. In the 2000s, we thought it'd reached the summit of what the fetid sub-genre could achieve with the risible "Sex Lives of the Potato Men," "Lesbian Vampire Killers, " and "Three And Out". But now we have Jonathan Newman's "Swinging With the Finkels," the trailer for which promises the less-than-edifying spectacle of Jerry Stiller getting hit in the crotch with a vibrator.
For those interested, the film is about a frustrated middle-class couple who hilariously decide to go "swinging" with another couple to spice up their love life – a conceit that would have seemed dated in 1969, let alone 2011.
Lead Martin Freeman, a talented actor and a decent chap in his own right, has taken some of these paycheck gigs before in the fallow years between his breakthrough in the original version of "The Office" and his recent success in BBC's "Sherlock" -- take for example his turn in "The All Together" alongside the hysterically untalented "tough man" Danny Dyer – but we thought he might have progressed beyond this pap. Presumably it's Freeman's increased visibility in recent months that has led to this being released Stateside at all, as well as the incongruous presence of Mandy Moore and Melissa George, presumably there to "internationalize" the film in the way Carmen Electra was supposed to for shocking Britcom "I Want Candy," or Harry Dean Stanton for supposed chucklefest "Alien Autopsy." Whatever the case, it's an embarrassment for all concerned, and something that should give pause to anyone who liberally chucks around phrases like "The British are coming."
You might think that people in charge of financing these films would realise that U.K. and international audiences have had their fill of this sort of thing but, alas, the next British sex comedies to rear their ugly heads are "The Inbetweeners" and – even more bizzarely – "Run For Your Wife," a sex farce featuring – who else? – Danny Dyer as a taxi-driving bigamist who enlists the help of Sir Cliff Richard, walking self-parody and British pantomime "star" Christopher Biggins and Australian wobble board player Rolf Harris to ameliorate his marital woes. The horror.
"Swinging with the Finkels," which was ignored by audiences and summarily eviscerated by critics in its native U.K. is for whatever reason released in the U.S. on August 26th.

Maybe he just did a role because he wanted to. Also, his longtime partner, Amanda Abbington , is in this movie. Maybe they just wanted to act together again. There could be many different reasons why he accepted a less than stellar role. I am sure he doesn't need to worry so much about a paycheck since he is staring in both The Hobbit films.
StephenM | August 9, 2011 6:15 AM
Wow does this look bad. Remember when Mandy Moore used to be the good girl?
Lynne | August 9, 2011 3:41 AM
Cut him some slack. Most Brit actors do the work for the sake of working; the industry is much smaller (ie pay is much lesser) but competition is fierce. Plus a bunch of them still persist with theater, including Martin Freeman, which pays like nothing per week.
Colin Firth did a whole bunch of crappy films like Main Street and St Trinian's before A Single Man. It's not like they are selling their image/celebrity with endorsements and reality shows.

ST. JOHNSBURY, Vt. (AP) - A change of plea hearing is scheduled for a Vermont man charged with stabbing his wife to death in the parking lot of a St. Johnsbury mall.
Benjamin Berwick, 51, of Lyndon, had been scheduled to go on trial July 9.
Berwick has been charged with second-degree murder in the stabbing death of his 45-year-old estranged wife Anna Berwick in the parking lot of the Green Mountain Mall on Dec. 28, 2009.
Deputy State's Attorney Kirk Williams tells the Caledonian Record the details of the agreement "have not been reduced to writing."
After his estranged wife was killed, Benjamin Berwick was found nearby suffering from an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound.
He's being held at the Newport prison.

For lots of people, falling asleep on Sunday night is harder than other nights of the week because they're coming off the weekend and starting to think about the dreaded workweek. Sound familiar? It actually is a condition called Sunday Night Insomnia.
"Sunday night, I can't wind down to go to sleep. I'm up, I'm watching TV, I'm reading the papers," says Doris Milligan, a Sunday Night Insomniac.
"For some people, they don't want to let go of the weekend and staying awake is a way to remain in that time, in that space and prevent the work week from starting," explains Dr. Gary Zammit, Sleep Researcher.
He says people with Sunday Night Insomnia often make it worse by going out late Friday and Saturday because that shifts their sleep schedule and internal clock. And since sleep deprivation can affect your concentration, attention and mood the next day. Sunday Night Insomnia only adds to the Monday morning blues.
Some advice from on preventing Sunday Night Insomnia:

About the Authormarco marella
marcomarella venice, italy
I was born in Venice, Italy, where I still live and work, on dec.28th, 1962. Although I briefly studied painting and etching at the venetian 'Accademia di Belle Arti', and I attended an illustration course at the 'Chelsea School of Art' in London, UK, I think those moments are only parts of that wider experience of the world influencing my works, and I consider myself a self taught artist. After various working experiences, ranging from ship-boy on a cargo to army officer, in 1988 I started my career as an illustrator and since then I have been involved in any kind of illustration work, in Italy and abroad. my works have been awarded by the italian and british associations of illustrators, and have been published on 'american illustration' 27 and 28, luerzer's archive '200best illustrators worlwide' 2008 and 2009, 'illusive' contemporary illustration 3, 2009.

Suffusion XXII – The Making Of The Print
June 15, 2012 | Leave a Comment |
I'm having a great time printing this series of images!
At first glance, they look like classic black and white images. In reality, they're full color captures of a near neutral subject, processed and printed as color images. The trace amounts of color from the original subject make a very subtle but meaningful addition to the final image and print.
The trace amounts of color in the image are so subtle, I wasn't sure which color management options would yield the best printed results; shadow detail, gradation, neutrality and graybalance all play major roles.
To get the final prints today, I tested multiple printer color management routes (Photoshop, Printer, Printer Adv B&W)(my ImagePrint tests are pending). Using Printer color management for color offered the results I was looking for – not Photoshop, which clipped deep shadow detail and not Printer Adv B&W which rendered warm grays by default and cool toning solutions added more cool toning to the highlights than the shadows making the prints look like they carried a faint color cross).
They're really touchy images. I found out how touchy when I went from 4×6 proofs to 11×14 prints, which when enlarged looked slightly lighter and lower contrast. A contrast curve for enlargement solved this.
At larger scale the noise became an issue, which I'm sleeping on. On the one hand, the subject is made of particles of water, which you can see when you are there. On the other hand it looks distracting to people who don't know this. Water blurs with motion but the motion is frozen in these very fast exposures. I polled other people around me (including my father). Then I settled on an unexpected solution. I let some of the noise come through only in the areas of greatest focus, drawing slightly more attention to them. (Some noise can makes images appear sharper.)
There was a another surprise. I tested the images on glossy paper (Epson Exhibition Fine Art Paper). The extra depth in the blacks made another improvement in the image, so much so that it was worth the trade off for the soft surface of the matte paper. I made a similar test with a related series, Fumo, and didn't make this choice. But here it was clear. This is the first time I've made my final prints on glossy paper.
I made these images while scouting my 2011 Focus On Nature workshop with Ragnar Th Sigurdsson and Arthur Meyerson. Arthur and I, two colorists who love the colors black gray and white and talk about them as colors.
I'm looking forward to returning to Iceland (and this waterfall) this August to lead a workshops again for Focus On Nature with +Einar Erlendsson , +Ragnar Th. Sigurdsson and +seth resnick . +Arthur Meyerson Arthur Meyerson will join us at the end of our Iceland workshop for our Arctic Voyage workshop/cruise from Longyearben to Greenland and finally back to Iceland.

Evaluate Proofs Under Glass
February 11, 2010 | Leave a Comment |
It's an excellent idea to evaluate final proofs under glass (or plexiglass). This is particularly true if you're using very thick or low grade glass. Often, when see under glass the print appears ever so slightly darker, lower contrast, and sometimes greener. There's no ideal glass or plexiglass to evaluate proofs with. Use whatever the print will be viewed under. What you want to be able to do is adjust subsequent proofs so they look ideal in the final viewing state of the print, which is rarely bare.

Ink Drips or Smears
January 25, 2010 | Leave a Comment |
My Fine Art Digital Printing DVD offers many simple solutions to common problems. Here's one …
I'm getting spots or streaks of ink on my print(s).
Clean the print heads, the rollers, and the inside of the printer.
Sometimes excess ink accumulates from previous printing sessions and gets smeared on the next print. This usually only happens when previous print errors have printed off the paper causing problems for the next print, even if it's printed correctly.

Signing Prints
December 11, 2009 | Leave a Comment |
What do you sign prints with?
I recommend …
Pencil for matte surfaces.
Pigmented in for glossy surfaces.
A word of caution, "permanent" simply means waterfast, not light fast.
Sharpee pens fade.
Try Pigma pens instead.
Make sure your signature lasts as long as your prints.

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- When a mother of three crossed paths with an accused drug dealer on the run, the result was deadly. Now the victim's loved ones say the suspect is not the only one to blame.
At 39th and Kentucky around 1:30 Tuesday afternoon, police say 64-year old Joseph Johnson's truck blindsided Stephanie Melson's car, killing the 31-year-old mother.
Kerry King, her children's father, says, "I'm holding up, just crying from time to time and missing her so much." On the steps of Stephanie Melson's home on Wednesday, King held on to family pictures of their eight, 11, and 13-year-old children in the sudden shock of life as a single father. "I just don't have no closure, no understanding," he said.
Nina Gardner, who witnessed the crash, said Wednesday, "We looked at her and she looked at us, and it's like she looked at the truck coming forward. And it was like, that was it."
Johnson's now charged with murder, trafficking a controlled substance, fleeing and evading, and failing to stop at a stop sign.
Investigators say he was speeding away from a drug bust at 40th and Broadway. They later found suspected cocaine in his truck. Police say the chase ran less than a mile.
King says, "It's not just about Mr. Johnson. It's Louisville Police Department as well, 'cause I don't think they should be pursuing people that hard....There are many cases of this and it's always they blame it on the person they're chasing. No, it's not all their fault. You're the reason they're flying up through the streets like that."
Police have launched a public integrity investigation. No officers have been placed on leave thus far.
All that remains at the scene is a memorial to Melson and the spray paint left behind by investigators.
Melson was heading to Trinity House Daycare. She had just stepped out for a lunch break when the crash happened. A day after she died, the sign on the door says the business is temporarily closed.
King calls it a senseless loss, one he's still trying to explain. Of their children, he says, "Every little thing reminds them of their mother."
Johnson pleaded not guilty in court Wednesday morning to the murder and other charges, but now he faces more. Late Wednesday, WDRB News learned officers found more drugs and illegal guns at his house after the crash.
Bond was set at $500,000.

Restrepo (2010)
The focus is on an outpost on a former enemy hilltop position in the Korengal valley, which they named Restrepo in honor of their fallen comrade, medic Juan S. Restrepo. What you see is 90 minutes of about every possible emotion you might encounter in such a situation, switching between "on the ground" footage and sit-down interviews.
The fear, grief, anger, and the usual horsing around…. its all laid bare. That's really what you should take away from this, not the firefights, not the political garbage or the policeman duties, but the emotions. From the grief the men display after they lose another man during a mission, to the anger once the dust settles, the relief when they learn they're going home….. and of course the confusion and fear during some of the firefights. This is as real as it gets.
It is a bit slow at times, but then again it is a documentary. I guess its unavoidable. You'll also (if you're like me) come away with a feeling of anger and despair after watching them deal with the local elders, and that feeling that we should have learned this lesson already….
I'm not sure what else to say. It's somewhat difficult to write a review on something like this. There aren't any actors, story, special effects, or script. About the only thing I can say is that Hetherington and Junger have managed to capture the reality of life on the "front lines" (if you can even call it that) in such a way that when its over, you really appreciate what they're going through, because in a way, you've lived just a little bit of it with them.
Here's the official site: http://restrepothemovie.com/
and a couple of videos to chew on until you're able to see the real McCoy. I can't recommend it enough.

5 Responses to Restrepo (2010)
I am interested in watching this although I am not all too keen on documentaries normally but the way you describe it, it seems special. If they manage to get the conflicting emotions of the soldiers then I believe it is a valuable contribution.
Totally agree. Just reviewed it myself. Everyone should watch this movie if they want to know what American boys are going through in Vietnam. Policy makers should be required to watch it. BTW it can be seen instantly on Net Flix.

Great documentary in a long american tradition of portraying war from a personal perspective. May not suit all conservative war movie buffs but still represents »embedded journalism« as it was meant to be. Excellent!

Tough times for ailing Saints MLB Vilma
A nagging left knee injury will keep MLB Jonathan Vilma out for a second straight game in Week 10.
The First Fifteen: Week 10
We take an early look at a huge AFC North tussle, another big one in the NFC South and all the rest of the best action in Week 10.
Maintaining balance the challenge for Saints' offense
it didn't take 300-plus passing yards from QB Drew Brees for the Saints to hold a comfortable lead for much of the game in their win over the Buccaneers.
Brees gets Saints back to their winning ways
Drew Brees passed for 258 yards and two touchdowns, and New Orleans running backs combined for 195 yards rushing in a 27-16 victory over the Buccaneers.
Saints FS Jenkins ready, willing to lead
Saints FS Malcolm Jenkins is getting more comfortable speaking up and taking on a leadership role as he enters the second half of his third season.
Saints place OT Brown on injured reserve
The Saints have placed OT Charles Brown on injured reserve and signed OT Ray Willis to replace Brown on the active roster.
Sloppy Saints moving backward
The Saints, who dropped 62 points on the Colts one week earlier, couldn't overcome poor field position and frequent 3rd-and-long situations against the Rams.
Rams stun Saints for first win
Steven Jackson scored two touchdowns and had his first 100-yard rushing game in three seasons as the Rams upset the Saints 31-21 for their first win on Sunday.
Saints activate RB Ivory
The Saints activated second-year RB Chris Ivory from the physically-unable-to-perform list and waived TE Tory Humphrey.
Saints DE Smith says scheme limiting sack production
Saints DE Will Smith told PFW he thinks his sack production is significantly affected by New Orleans' defensive system.

Saints set points record in 62-7 romp
Drew Brees completed 31 of 35 passes for 325 yards and five touchdowns, and the Saints set a franchise record for points and victory margin in a 62-7 demolition of the hapless Colts on Sunday night.
Saints officially part ways with Kreutz
A day after he announced he was leaving the team because he no longer had a passion for football, C Olin Kreutz has been released by the Saints.
Report: Saints C Kreutz leaves team
PFW Saints correspondent Mike Triplett of the New Orleans Times-Picayune is reporting that Saints C Olin Kreutz has left the team.
Saints general manager Mickey Loomis says New Orleans and unrestricted free agents, defensive end Kenyon Coleman and McCown, have agreed to terms on one-year contracts.||||||| McCown, 6-4, 217-pounds, is a former fourth-round selection of the Cleveland Browns who went to training camp with the Saints last season. McCown, a former Louisiana Tech standout, has played in 22 NFL games with nine starts in stints with Cleveland, Tampa Bay, Jacksonville and Atlanta. He has completed 184 of 316 passes for 2,035 yards with nine touchdowns and 14 interceptions.
The Atlanta Falcons have released backup quarterback Chris Redman and signed McCown.||||||| McCown spent the past three seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars, making two starts among his eight appearances. He worked with Dirk Koetter, who is now the Falcons' offensive coordinator, which undoubtedly contributed to the decision to bring in a new No. 2 behind starter Matt Ryan on Tuesday.
Jags coach Jack Del Rio will turn the starting job over to Luke McCown, who outplayed David Garrard and rookie Blaine Gabbert in the preseason.||||||| McCown completed 12 of 18 passes for 133 yards, with two touchdowns, no interceptions and no sacks.

McCown replaced benched starter David Garrard in the fourth quarter and injured his knee on a 4-yard scramble with less than a minute remaining. Garrard came back in and threw a touchdown pass to Mike Sims-Walker that made it 38-13.
McCown has passed his physical with the Jacksonville Jaguars, prompting the team to cut veteran backup Todd Bouman. The moved was announced on Sunday.||||||| Jacksonville traded an undisclosed draft pick in 2010 to Tampa Bay on Saturday night in exchange for McCown. He is 1-6 as a starter, has completed 59.7 percent of his passes, and has nine touchdown passes and 10 interceptions.

News Feature | February 25, 2014
Roche Announces Licensing Agreement With Sysmex Inostics GmbH
Basel-based pharma firm Roche announced it has entered into a licensing agreement with Sysmex Inostics GmbH for its emulsion PCR (emPCR) portfolio of patents. The agreement grants Sysmex Inostics GmbH global, non-exclusive, royalty-bearing license to use Roche's emPCR technology.
Roche Sequencing Unit Head Dan Zabrowski said, "Roche has an active out-licensing program for its emPCR-based intellectual property portfolio. By continuing to out-license this technology, we contribute to the development of well-validated techniques within the molecular diagnostics field."
Emulsion PCR facilitates the individual isolation of each DNA molecule within its own bubble in a water or oil emulsion. The technology includes a capture bead and PCR amplification reagents. Through emPCR, each molecule is individually amplified to a single bead even as millions of molecules are simultaneously prepared. The ensuing process enables an equivalent of millions of separate PCR reactions. Roche's technology allows for massive parallelization (high thoroughput) resulting in substantial cost advantages over rival technology Sanger sequencing.
Sysmex Inostics GmbH is a molecular diagnostics company which provides testing for highly sensitive mutation testing from plasma and serum samples. Sysmex Inostics' clinical services lab offers analysis of free circulating tumor-DNA in plasma to predict drug response and monitor cancer through quantification of the amount of tumor DNA. This allows for detection of relapse and resistance mutations using emPCR technology. Sysmex Inostics' customers are comprised of pharma companies and academic as well as medical centers who use the lab's services in clinical trials with tissue collection challenges. The company currently uses BEAMing Digital PCR and Plasma- Sequencing (Plasma-Seq) in mutation discovery and detection. With the addition of Roche's emPCR technology, the company expands its core competencies in molecular diagnostics.
The world's largest biotech company, Roche operates in various fields including oncology, infectious diseases, neuroscience, inflammation, and metabolism. The company also leads research in in vitro diagnostics and tissue-based cancer diagnostics with technologies such as emPCR.
