The more you do it, the more you learn to concentrate, as a child does, incredibly intensively and then you sort of have to relax. I remember the first film I did, the lead actor would in between scenes be reading a newspaper or sleeping and I`d think, "How can you do that?Cate Blanchett
I was working straight for nine months and I`m exhausted. I`m ready to relax for a little while and read. I don`t want to work for work sake; I have to be excited about it.Sanaa Lathan
I never relax on the year before. Every year I want to get more out of myself so I use it as a driving force, rather than a pressure thing.Frank Lampard
I learned very early that an audience would relax and look at things differently if they felt they could laugh with you from time to time. There`s an energy that comes through the release of tension that is laughter.Twyla Tharp
I tell you one of the great things about this movie is, with all that`s going on around the world right now, it`s just good to go to a movie where you don`t have to think too hard, just have a good time, and relax and be crazy.Blair Underwood

Central PC Japheth Kiplimo Rugut has told residents of Gatundu that disciplinary measures will be taken against rogue police officers accused of collaborating with criminals in the district. Speaking at Gatundu DCs office, Rugut said the measures will be instituted once investigations over the named officers conduct are complete and might include dismissal and not necessarily transfers.
The PC was responding to claims by residents that some of the officers at the Gatundu police station have overstayed and in the process become friendly with criminals. He said there people have already been arrested over the incident and investigations have been launched to ensure that others at large are arrested and arraigned in court. He assured residents that security has been beefed to ensure residents go about their day to day activities without fear. He said that the incident which affected transport between Nairobi and Thika Towns was likely to interfere with the national economy and said all will be done to ensure that criminals are not allowed to interfere with peace loving wananchi.

Master this easy method, and you are well on your way to creating quick and easy cakes. You can easily alter this German coffee cake recipe by omitting the cinnamon and/or adding raisins.

I think the resigning deadline is Saturday.
Printable View
I think the resigning deadline is Saturday.
why are my FA still on my roster?
Haven't updated yet. For the FA period you have to accept everyone in the game so I'm going through and manually editing the contracts to make your players free agents if you didn't want to retain them. I'll update sometime Sunday probably.
Send in some trades!
Has the resigning ran threw the site yet?
Not yet, just waiting for Make It Rain to do his.
Eman also but I doubt he does it.
Oops, you did. I just skipped over it. My bad.
I even sent you a pm about it lol
Index is updated.
Wait why is Olden Polynice no longer on my team? He had 1 more year left on his deal!!
He retired.
2001 170 Trail Blazers SF Johnny Newman retires
2001 170 Spurs PG John Starks retires
2001 170 Bucks C Olden Polynice retires
2001 170 Cavaliers SF Jerome Kersey retires
2001 170 Raptors PG Steve Kerr retires
2001 170 Hawks PG Avery Johnson retires

2001 170 Pacers C Patrick Ewing retires
Would there be a drawback if I released Kemp and Kukoc to free up cap space? They both have expiring contracts.
i hope the draft isnt too late on Sunday. breaking bad premiere!
Ok thanks!
This is confusing because it's not really like the NBA for a few rules. If you release someone shouldnt they go on waivers or the game doesnt have waivers?
Also a few questions abou free agency for us teams over the cap. So we have a MLE to use, but when you create all of these pages to bid on, can we ony offer that to one, or a slew of FAs and whoever :signs it first" we can decide which one we want? Will teams be able to offer more than their cap space in these threads since they're not technically signed? Get what I'm asking here because this will have a huge bearing on how fair this may or may not be?
Very good points mr. hard. I think its better that we can address this issues now when the FA crop is not that good
Need Oneal gone!
FIRE SALE: Bo Outlaw, Matt Geiger, Jerome Williams, and John Stockton all available.
Asking price: Mid-/Late 1sts - 2nd round Draft picks
I'm in cap hell and I have to get rid of some VERY productive players... Borderline contenders that need a solid starting or backup C or starting PG while your young guy develops... I got them and I got CHEAP PRICES!
Zo's great......but his contract cripples my team's options going forward, so if you've got the players for a deal.......I'm listening.

Kanye West and Alicia Keys lent their voices to "12.12.12: The Concert for Sandy Relief" at Madison Square Garden in New York on Wednesday. Sporting a Pyrex hoodie and leather kilt, Yeezy performed over 10 songs including "Mercy," "Clique," "Power," "Jesus Walks," "All of the Lights," "Diamonds," "Gold Digger," and "Runaway," closing with "Stronger."
"I got friends that was displaced 'cause of Hurricane Sandy that I let stay in my place so this is an emotional evening for us," he said after "Touch the Sky."
Looking radiant in red, Alicia Keys closed out the evening with two songs. "I'm so honored to be here with you tonight. This is for our brothers and sisters. We can become brand new," said the New York songstress as she performed her new single "Brand New Me," taking a moment to reflect on her city.
She continued with "No One," encouraging everyone to put their lighters in the sky. "My city, New York City, is the most incredible city, the most resilient city," said Alicia before taking a bow.

This is my first time posting on the teen blog, and as a way of letting you know what I'm about, I'm going to write about something that I'm really interested in.
I've been helping out with all ages music shows in Calgary for a while now, and thought that I would share some of my favorite local-under-18 bands. This is a only a small selection of teen bands who play in Calgary and if I don't mention your favorite, or a band you play in, then message me with the myspace link and let me know what I'm missing out on.
For those of you who already go to all-ages shows, I'm really looking forward to hearing who your favorite under -18 bands are.
And for those of you who have never been to an all ages show, then holy smokes, welcome to your cheat-sheet of rad, all-ages live music in Calgary.
Most of these guys (and gal) play shows pretty regularly and probably have something coming up in the near future, check the myspace links for tracks, updates and show postings.
Disclaimer: This list is in no particular order.
Faux Fur
Jean Sebastien (brains behind Faux Fur / Priests and countless other projects that he is probably cooking up somewhere) is totally hustling right now. He plays a ton of shows, releases a ton of material and even has his own label called Yew Nork records .
Kumon Plaza
Whoa dance party! Dylan makes electronic music that gets people clapping, dancing and remembering how much they loved that old Legend of Zelda soundtrack. He is from Edmonton, but plays in Calgary a lot and is building a big group of fans down here.
Julianna Hindemith
Juliana makes super nice acoustic songs and has a great stage presence, complete with her epic rock-chick-hair-flips. If you're into folksy acoustic vibes, she is one to check out for sure.
Cartoon Violence
A favorite young Calgary band, these guys are really fun live and are super messy and loud. It looks like their myspace hasn't been touched in a while, but if you see their name on a poster just go to the show!
Here on the Sun
OK I'll admit it. I love the Harmonica. Plus, any band who's name makes HOTS as an acronym, has got something figured out. They're playing a show on the 8th of October that should be awesome.
Sometimes, the Library doesn't have the book, CD, or DVD that you really want. What do you do?
Tell us! Your opinion counts, and we often end up buying the stuff you want!
AND if we buy the item you ask for, we'll automatically put it on hold for you when we get it. Aren't we nice?

How do you get your music? I like to use the library's huge CD collection, but I also listen to streaming music online. Here are some great sites:
It's easy - type in an artist, and finetune will create a playlist of streaming radio for you. The site has something called a Recommendation Engine, and its job is to give you more music you like, based on you already love. When your playlist is done, finetune gives you a string of code that you can post in your blog or MySpace. Then your friends can hear it, too!
Last.fm is a social networking site that lets you create playlists and connect with your friends. It will also connect to iTunes and other music players to automatically create top 10 lists of your favourite songs for you to share.This site will also recommend new artists and has streaming video.
Maestro.fm is another social music site, which enables you to access the music on your computer through a web browser, from anywhere in the world. You can also listen to your friends' playlists, and get music news, photos, and lyrics.
imeem is also a social site. This one allows you to tag, comment, and rate your and your friends' content. Like Facebook, you can join groups for your favourite bands or events. This site also supports photos, video, and blogs.
...And don't forget to check out the library's site! Have a look at our newest CDs, and if there's something you want that we don't have, let us know!

Having played a few games, I have to say it's pretty cool. My one recommendation would be to split Elixer into two separate spells: one to sacrifice anything BUT a pawn (for MP), and another to simply sacrifice pawns (0 MP). As it is, this all-purpose spell is so powerful that not selecting it can be considered a newbie trap.

The weather was perfect at Mt Rainier on Sunday, but the crowds made it difficult to enjoy Nature's bounty. Parking lots along the road were full all the way up to Paradise. The Sunrise Visitor Center was also so full they had to close the access road for a period of time. But the good news is that the snow has finally melted enough that you can walk the trails and the wildflowers are spectacular!

By Colin Serling, Business Analyst on the RM Sales team. Help cover buy side, sell side, retail, and electronic marking making/prop accounts.
A recent webinar hosted at the New York Stock Exchange by Joe Mecane, Executive Vice President and Co-Head of the U.S. Listing and Cash Execution businesses at NYSE Euronext, focused on upcoming regulatory issues related to market structure. Here is a brief review of topics covered:
Limit Up/Limit Down
Mecane highlighted two main changes coming in February. One of these is a limit up/limit down market wide policy that evolves single stock circuit breakers. He said limit up/limit down is a way of handling circuit breakers on a market wide basis—essentially preventing trades from happening more than 5-10% away from where they are trading. The benefits of limit up/limit down as opposed to circuit breakers are that trading continues within a band that eliminates excessive volatility but allows the market to continue operating/trading.
The second policy change coming early next year is market wide circuit breakers. These are similar to circuit breakers published quarterly in newspapers (the 10-20-30% circuit breakers came out of the 1987 crash). The forthcoming changes make tweaks to how levels are calculated and more importantly will automate the circuit breakers.
"Right now the circuit breakers we have in place are a manual process so I think it will be positive to have an automated response," Mecane said. Both policies have been created to help prevent a market wide crash created from a technical glitch, as experienced in the May 6th 2010 Flash Crash.
The Consolidated Audit Trail
Mecane also touched on the Consolidated Audit Trail. He said that as part of the multi-year initiative, one proposal would provide aggregated trading info across all venues. This would create a database that tags every execution from the final print down to the individual investor. In addition the general view is a Consolidated Audit Trail would help with surveillance on manipulative activity, enforcement on mistakes, and insider trading.
Kill Switch idea
Lastly, Mecane discussed the idea of a "kill switch." He said NYSE Euronext took the lead coming out of the Knight Capital event this summer and coming into a roundtable that the SEC held about system controls. One key question raised and discussed at the roundtable: should there be a larger backstop to prevent significant unintended market activity that could arise from technology issues? That question and the group's recommendations are explored in greater details here.
Overall Market Structure
The talk amongst many exchanges and market participants continues to be the issue of off exchange trading. Trading on dark exchanges has created an ever increasing fragmented market, which has further deceased market transparency and price discovery. Some policies implemented in the past few years such as Reg NMS, may need to be readdressed as the market has evolved in ways not anticipated when it was put in place. It is time for a holistic review and consideration of change to the current structure of the equity market.

Bright Dining Room
Seahorses from a garden antiques store are the wow factor in the dining room of a Hamptons cottage decorated by Leslie Klotz. The vision for the cottage was "to make it feel like a bright beachy cottage in summer, and warm and comfortable in winter," Klotz says. Louis XVI-style dining chairs are covered in a jaunty shade of chartreuse leather, and backed in coral and white print. The table is from Liza Sherman Antiques.

These days, those folks can hang with him at a house in Beverly Hillsone with its own putting green and a big empty room that, until his and Durham's new baby arrives in six weeks and it becomes the nursery, serves as a soccer field for Ella, Michael, and him. There's a house out back that he built for his mom, which she lived in for a year before deciding to move back to Boston. Not that he blames her. He doesn't picture his family in Beverly Hills forever; more to the point, "Rhea gives this about five more years."
How he went from juvenile offender to Oscar-nominated actor, he explains like this: "I kind of slipped through the back door." That would be a reference to his music phase, and if, in the past, being reminded of Marky Mark rankled him, he's come to terms with his old persona, though "for a while I really tried to distance myself, because I was trying to change the perception of me and do the next to impossible, which is to become a serious actor."
More than a decade after surprising essentially everyone with his tender, heartbreaking portrayal of Dirk Diggler in Boogie Nights, he says, "I don't have the pedigree that a lot of people have. I can't afford to just show up." Even when he was working on The Departed, directed by Martin Scorsese, in a role seemingly custom-made for himbased in Boston, tapping an accent that he had worked mightily to get rid of years agoand for which he would get his Oscar nod, he couldn't fully appreciate how far he'd come. "Having my trailer on Dorchester Avenue, right by the corner that I used to hang out onthat was pretty surreal," is as much as he will allow. "But other than that, I just had my game face on. It's not that I'm stressed out [on set]. But I am engaged."
"His vigilance up to his last shot on a movie is fantastic," e-mails David O. Russell, Wahlberg's director on 1999's Three Kings and again on 2004's I Heart Huckabees. "He's not jaded or self-conscious or hung upthis is very fortunate for directors. He takes it upon himself to research everything he can about a character he's playing, and on his own will go to the place that character is from (Detroit in Three Kings, strip-mall Jersey in Huckabees) to pick up whatever he can. I don't think he will ever stop this vigilance, because it is how he approaches whatever he does, whether it's golf or his family or acting. He takes full responsibility."
For the past two years, he has been boxing in preparation for The Fighter, in which he will play "Irish" Mickey Ward, a fighter from Lowell, Massachusetts. This is the third time he has trained to play a boxer, and the first two movies fell through, so he talks about it with a wary optimism. Even so, he wakes up at five most mornings to eat breakfast and then go work out in the home gym with his friend Brian. (His arms are covered with scrapes from the Velcro on Brian's gloves.) "By eight-thirty, I come back up and I'm eating chicken, and my kids look at me like I'm crazy, like, why am I eating lunch when they're eating breakfast?"

Pie with Fresh Mint and Feta Cheese
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time:30 minutes
Serves: 4
- 100 grams of feta cheese
- 6 sheets of phylo dough
- 2 eggs
- 100 ml sparkling water
- 50 ml olive oil
- A large bunch of fresh mint
Chop the washed and wiped mint. Crumble the cheese and beat the eggs.
Coat the bottom of a baking pan with some olive oil. Take one sheet and place it over the pan bottom. If it is wider, gently wrinkle it with hands in order to fit the pan. In the same way, one by one, lay down two other sheets.
Evenly, sprinkle the crumbled cheese and chopped mint. Put a new layer of 3 sheets on top. It is important to be placed one by one, in order to preserve the air between them.
With a sharp knife, carefully cut the pie into 6 rectangular pieces.
Evenly, pour the olive oil over the pastry. Wait a minute or two to absorb.
Meanwhile, mix the eggs with the sparkling water. Spread mixture evenly over the pie. Allow to absorb completely.
Bake for about 30 minutes until browned.
If you use a metal pan, it is good to pre-heat the oven to 200 degrees C. Once you put the pie in the oven reduce the heat to 180 degrees C.
I used a ceramic dish, and was afraid that it could crack from the heat. Because of this I did not preheat the oven in advance.
Serve warm or cold.
The idea to use fresh mint is taken from http://www.turkishcookbook.com/ .

Featured Letter: Time for community to support BIHS
To the Editor:
The Block Island Health Services Board of Directors is about to begin its 2013 Membership Campaign. We have just completed an election for new directors, and we have selected an almost entirely new slate of officers. Pete Tweedy and Cindy Baute were reelected, and Dr. Al Casazza was elected as a new director. Thanks to everyone who participated, and to all the candidates who ran.
The new officers elected at the annual meeting are:
President Bob Fallon
Vice President Cindy Baute
Treasurer Pete Tweedy
Secretary Sue Hagedorn
Thanks to outgoing President Pam Hinthorn, Secretary Kay Lewis and Director Judith Cyronak for their great work and commitment to BIHS. Pam and Kay will stay involved as directors and Judith as a committee member. Congratulations to Mary Donnelly on her retirement! The Board counts on her continued participation and guidance.
Executive Director Barbara Baldwin, Dr. Jan Miller, Liz Dyer, Linda Closter and Patty Murphy deserve our thanks for the great job they have done. They have always performed their services in the most professional manner.
Now, it's time for our community to come together and support the duly elected board and officers of the BIHS. Your support is needed through your membership, donations and willingness to serve on our committees and participate in special fundraising events.
BIHS provides health care and counseling to all who need it, whether they are from the island or not. Many have insurance to cover their care, but many do not. As our busy summer continues, our excellent providers maintain and improve services to island residents and visitors. Your support of BIHS, along with the community aid provided by the town, is vital. Without it, our medical staff could not provide the support our community needs.
We hope to replicate the wellness program that was started by Dr. Casazza at the Block Island Power Company. This year we will reach out to Block Island businesses for their support and participation in programs available for their staff. Island businesses have always supported our fundraising events. We thank them and hope they will continue and to be sponsors of BIHS.
In response to many requests, we are revising our membership forms. This will now allow members to indicate whether or not they want their names to be available to the Directors, other members and those running for a vacancy on the board. No contact information will be released and the list will not be available for any kind of solicitation. Naturally, donation information will be confidential. A check box on your form should be completed to insure your choice is included on our rolls. If the box is checked we will not disclose your name. If the box is not checked, we may disclose your name to those listed above.
Membership forms are available at the Block Island Medical Center if you don't have one, or you can call Barbara Baldwin (401) 466-2125 to have one sent. Please renew or establish your membership in Block Island Health Services by sending in the membership form with your contribution. Your continuing support is vital and greatly appreciated.
Don't forget to join us for this year's Fun Run on Sunday, Aug. 4!
Bob Fallon, President

Walkin' in a winter wonderland
posted February 2, 2011 11:42 AM by Mirna Turcios
I commute to school and work on the T and/or the bus. This means some walking and standing around waiting for a bus or T in the elements, while carrying around my daily essentials: coffee, water, food, reading materials for school and for fun, and sometimes my gym clothes. And as my fellow bloggers have all mentioned, we've been getting crazy amounts of snow lately. If you plan on commuting too, you might want to think about investing in a few things to get you through the snowy, slushy wonderland.
1) You're gonna need a good, waterproof backpack. Not a shoulder bag. Shoulder bags are fine when the weather's warmer or when there isn't any slush, snow, or ice on the ground, but on a snowy day it just becomes something else that might throw you off balance. A good backpack with lots of compartments, including those side mesh pockets for easy access to your water bottle or coffee mug, has worked really well for me.
2) Good waterproof boots with textured soles. Uggs are super warm, but a bit slippery because they don't really have any traction. I usually wear my LL Bean duck boots with warm socks during my commute and change into my work shoes once I get to the office. (This is another reason why a backpack works better than a shoulder bag.) They've also come in handy for those extra slushy days when the sidewalk is full of patches of what I call "liquid concrete." Basically, that perfect mix of slush and water in night lighting that looks like the rest of the sidewalk 'til you step in it and realize it's an ankle deep puddle. Wet feet--yuck! This is also why I like to tuck my pants into my boots as opposed to simply just rolling them up.
3) Waterproof gloves. Even if you aren't a gloves-scarf-and-hat person (which you might also want to reconsider and just get yourself one of each), you'll end up wanting at lease a pair of gloves. You might want to sip on a hot caffeinated beverage or catch up on your reading while you're waiting for the T or the bus. And then when it gets there, you'll have to get your Charlie card out to pay your fare. These have also come in handy when I need to climb over a snow bank.
4) A waterproof coat with a hood. Preferably something with room for layering and about mid-thigh in length. Having a hood comes in handy just in case you do get caught in the middle of a blizzard or wintry mix or just regular old rain storm.
And just in case you haven't picked up on the trend yet, make sure whatever you go with is waterproof. The snow and cold really aren't that bad as long as you're prepared for it and you do your best to stay dry.

Posts tagged: mistake
In journalism school, you learn quickly how dangerous it is to say someone is the "first" person to do anything.
The moment you think about putting something like that in print, those who have gone before emerge quickly. That's why I was skeptical that Adam Hegsted was going to be the first chef from this area to cook at the James Beard House in New York City. And despite being told that a couple of times during my reporting for the story in today's Food section, I was hesitant to write it.
I also didn't want to overlook an important detail.
So, I sent an email to the James Beard Foundation inqiring. The response:
"Thank you for checking in. I have checked our records, and chef Adam is indeed the first chef from the Spokane/Coeur d'Alene area to cook at the Beard House. He will also be the first chef from the state of Idaho to be featured here."
Turns out, that's not true at all.
At least two other area chefs have been honored by the James Beard House.
Executive chef Rod Jessick, of the Coeur d'Alene Resort, cooked there in 1999 and received another invitation in 2003 or 2004.
Also, chef Brian Hutchins, who works at Stix in Spokane, cooked at the James Beard House in 2003.
Several other Idaho chefs were part of the events. Here's a partial list of those chefs. I'm still trying to track down the information: Keith Otter, Ketchum, Idaho; Scott Wamsley, Sun Valley Lodge; Barbara Barry, Ketchum, Idaho; Joyce Doughty and Kenny Rudolph, Ketchum, Idaho.
Today, when I forwarded messages from both Rod Jessick and Brian Hutchins to the James Beard Foundation, they wrote back: "Our apologies for the misinformation here. Our in-house archives are unfortunately not as accurate as they should be, and we are in the process of addressing this issue. Chef Jessick was indeed correct about the Idaho-based chefs he mentioned who have cooked at the Beard House. We were able to track down the event links to provide you with more information…"
"In addition to these events, we also hosted a "Taste of Idaho" dinner on 2/3/1998 with chefs Barbara Barry, Joyce Doughty, Keith Otter, and Scott Wamsley, however, this predates our electronic archives."
The chefs who called and wrote were incredibly gracious about the mistake, but I still feel terrible for making it. I would hate for the oversight to minimize the work that it takes to get to the James Beard House.
Rod Jessick said in a email message: "It is a great honor to participate and a lot of work… I look back fondly on the memories of the event I participated in," he said. "I intend to email Adam and wish him 'Good Cooking' at his event. Again, he is a very talented chef and will represent both the Coeur d'Alene Casino and the State of Idaho well."

Ten DonsTalk0
this wiki
The Ten Dons (十老頭, Jūrōtō), also called the Ten Mafia Dons, is the nickname for the group of the 10 Mafia leaders of the 10 territories into which the six continents of the Hunter × Hunter world are divided.[1] In reality they don't act by themselves but use their special bodyguards, the Shadow Beasts, a group of the best 10 fighters within the Mafia.[2]
Yorknew City arc
After a large number of Mafia members and auction clients in Yorknew City are massacred by the Phantom Troupe,[3] the Ten Dons send the Shadow Beasts to deal with them, not knowing who they are.[4] After the Shadow Beasts are killed subsequently, they put large bounties on the Troupe's heads and hire professional assassins,[5] including Zeno and Silva, to eliminate the Troupe's members.[6] The plan failed because the Troupe's leader Chrollo Lucilfer hired other members of the Zoldyck Family Maha, Illumi and Kalluto to assassinate the Ten Dons, a mission that is accomplished before Zeno and Silva were able to assassinate Lucilfer. Because of their deaths, Zeno and Silva no longer consider Lucilfer to be a target and leave Yorknew City.[7]

In a small, cluttered garage in Los Angeles, Aubrey Plaza, who plays the dour April Ludgate on NBC's Parks and Recreation, is telling a story about the most harrowing experience of her life. When she was 20 years old, Plaza suffered a stroke. She was talking with her friends in Queens when she suddenly realized she couldn't feel her right arm. Then the whole right side of her body went numb. She tried to say something, but all that came out was a strangled moan. She spent a few terrifying days in a hospital bed before regaining her ability to speak. In the years since her stroke, Plaza, who's now 27, has told almost no one this story outside of her family and closest friends. But here she is, in a stuffy garage crowded with books and old photos and guitars and recording equipment, telling it to a man she has met only once, briefly a 47-year-old stand-up comedian named Marc Maron.
Unless you're a comedian or a fairly serious comedy nerd, there's a decent chance you've never heard of Maron. Though revered among his peers for his raw and unflinchingly honest stand-up work, Maron has never been a household name. Despite 25 years in the business and more than 40 appearances on Late Night With Conan O'Brien, he says, ''I've always been sort of a marginal character.'' But for almost two years now, people across the comedy world from major figures like Ben Stiller, Garry Shandling, and Amy Poehler down to unknown young comics have been making a pilgrimage to the garage outside his modest two-bedroom house to spend an hour being interviewed by him for his twice-weekly podcast, WTF. They talk about the ups and downs of their careers, failed relationships, substance-abuse issues, neuroses and fears, creative struggles, financial difficulties, the joys and indignities of life on the road, and all the many ways their parents screwed them up. At least one guest (Louis C.K.) has cried during a taping, and another (Gallagher) stormed out in anger. There are also a lot of laughs. ''After I did the podcast, people said to me, 'Wow, that was great it felt like you guys were really just talking,''' says O'Brien, whose episode aired in April. ''I think Marc's secret is that garage. It's hot in there, and there's probably cans of paint thinner and a lot of asbestos. The fumes get into your cortex, and suddenly you're saying all this stuff you wouldn't normally say.''
Since Maron started the show in September 2009, WTF has become one of the top-ranked comedy podcasts on iTunes and essential listening within the comedy community. Averaging well over 400,000 downloads a week, the show has attracted an army of loyal fans, who send Maron gifts (mainly baked goods, WTF-inspired art, and cat toys for the felines he lives with at what he calls ''The Cat Ranch'') and deeply personal emails about their own problems. And the podcast is poised to get even bigger. This summer, public-radio stations in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Austin as well as other cities will air a selection of the best episodes, and Maron recently made a deal to develop a television show based on his life. It's all hard for Maron, a chronic malcontent who has harbored profound disappointment in the past over his career trajectory, to wrap his head around: ''I'm just a guy talking in his garage.''

I totally love Captured by Porches vibe. They are laid back and as you can see from our photos below its like sitting on your own porch drinking and ice-cold brew! If you don't know the story behind CBP you need to go read it right now CLICK HERE to visit their site. This couple is passionate about their brew. This is definitely reflected in the flavor and high quality in every glass. CBP has several locations around the Portland area check their website to see if they're in your neighborhood. You can also rent their beer bus located at North Lombard for your special occasions.
I tried their IPA which was delicious and totally thirst quenching on a hot summer day! I cannot wait to go back and sit in one of these fancy yellow lawn chairs and drink my CBP brew and eat a delicious cheese plate from The Cheese Plate PDX.
I gave Captured by Porches four forks because their brew was delicious! The perfect end to our food cart crawl and totally quenched my thirst!

The PS4 has been praised by a number of developers and publishers for the past couple of months now, but it seems that one game designer isn't all that impressed with Sony's new system. American McGee, most notable for his work among American McGee's Alice, has recently stated that he isn't as excited the PS4 as everyone else is. During an interview with Forbes, McGee discussed the lack of innovation, and that next gen will struggle because of the growing popularity with mobile gaming.
"I was hoping for innovation in control input. Didn't see anything meaningful, so "meh." It's nice that they're moving towards what looks like more developer-friendly hardware and indie friendly distribution. Remains to be seen if the appearance matches reality," McGee stated. "Overall, I think this generation of consoles will struggle painfully against the momentum of mobile/online games we're seeing globally."
He isn't the first designer who thinks that mobile and casual games will be the future of video games, a statement that I can't disagree more with, but you can't argue with their reasoning. Mobile gaming has become really popular over the past few years, with a lot of big time developers switching over to mobile development, a trend seem to be forming.

Having a child gave my life purpose. I have a richer, more fulfilling, more reflective life now. I appreciate and savor moments in each day. When my brother died, I thought I had reevaluated the meaning of my life, but having a child has taken my awareness to a deeper level.

Here is a quote from Charles Van Doren at his 40th college class reunion: "I remind you that according to Aristotle, happiness is not a feeling or sensation but instead is the quality of a whole life. The emphasis is on 'whole,' a life from beginning to end. Especially the end. The last part, the part you're now approaching, was for Aristotle the most important for happiness. It makes sense, doesn't it?"

being parent for one year baby is very hard. It was already one year I did not have full sleep at night. must work harder to cover all expenses. But I fill happy when I see my daughter, there will always a smile in my face when I meet her after work, if you call this happy, than I am.
 Sometime I just feel tired. sleep only 5 hours a day, and must take care my daughter after work. But I think as a parent, I am to busy to tired or even thinking am I happy having my daughter?

This summer I read "Stumbling On Happiness" by Daniel Gilbert. It's a fine book that offers a researched opinion on the process of happiness. It's not self-help and doesn't have any prescription for happiness. It just makes you understand how happiness can be derailed.

In the book he makes the argument that people with children aren't happier than those without. Often they have more responsibility and less money than they would if they remained childless. As someone who spent over a decade as a childless adult, I can see the truth in his evaluation. We didn't even own houseplants so we could travel spontaneously and at length. We bought whatever we wanted and still had money in the bank. It was great.

However, either Malcolm Gladwell or the Freakonomics guys wrote about the Pepsi challenge. Pepsi won the short term taste test, but Coke still led the market in sales. Why? Because the sweetness of Pepsi appeals in a single, quickly consumed serving, but overwhelms a lot of consumers in a real life pattern of consumption.

I think parental happiness is much like that. It is riddled with barf on the carpet, fiscal concerns, and responsibility. It makes me think of a long mountain hike on a hot, hot day. I'm tired and breathing thinner air than I'm used to. In some ways, I definitely prefer a tiny stroll from my car to an ice cream shop counter to order a scoop of Pistachio. It would be easier, mostly climate controlled, and completely comfortable. But curiousity and cumulative accomplishment are not being factored into this assessment.

I want to see the view from the peak. I want to know that I could indeed complete the journey. The journey is beautiful too though at times uncomfortable and even troubling.

Cumulatively, I think parenting provides a lot of happiness, but like Impressionism, sometimes it takes a little distance and contemplation to really understand what you're looking at.

At least this is what I keep telling myself.

The Dalai Lama makes a distinction between "pleasure" (what you call "happiness") and "happiness" (what you call "joy"). Pleasure is more immediate, and happiness is deeper and longer lasting. I definitely agree that parenting is hard and maybe not the "WHEEEE!" kind of fun, but certainly fulfilling and deeply satisfying. Of course, my daughter's only seven weeks old, so my experience is sort of limited. But that's been the case so far anyway.

Boston, MA--The consequence of maternal exposure to a variety of potentially toxic agents during pregnancy remains the prime focus of concern in scientific endeavors and in society at large. However, there is now mounting evidence that paternal exposure can also adversely affect fetal and postnatal development of offspring and that this imprint can be expressed in subsequent generations. A multidisciplinary symposium, sponsored by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, entitled The Father and Fetus Revisited will address the evidence for male-mediated influences on reproductive success and postnatal development and its implications.
"This symposium will present evidence from both animal and epidemiological studies which demonstrates that paternal exposure to a variety of potential toxins can adversely impact fetal development, produce a wide spectrum of deficits in offspring and be expressed in subsequent generations," said Gladys Friedler, PhD, an emerita associate professor of psychiatry at Boston University School of Medicine and organizer of the session.
"The goal of this symposium is to heighten awareness of the significant effect of the male parent in reproductive success and postnatal development as well as to stimulate research on male-mediated effects," added Friedler.
Friedler, who is considered a pioneer in the field, will introduce the symposium with a review of studies which indicate that male exposure to a variety of potential toxins including both recreational and therapeutic drugs, as well as workplace and other exposures can adversely alter reproductive outcome. The reported impact on offspring outcome includes low birth weight; increase in childhood cancers; developmental, behavioral, endocrine abnormalities and cross-generational effects.
Also participating in this symposium are Matthew D. Anway from the University of Idaho, Moscow, who will present his studies: "Epigenetic Transgenerational Reproductive Disease." Political scientist Cynthia R. Daniels, from Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey, will discuss "Cultural Politics and the Father-Fetal Connection."
