With a title like that, this post could turn out to be quite a long winded blog entry. As it happens, I'm not going to subject you, dear reader, to such a literary onslaught but rather focus my attention on the paper by Elizabeth Hawkey & Joel Nigg [1] who undertook two meta-analyses and concluded that: "Omega-3 levels are reduced in children with ADHD [attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder]" and "Dietary supplementation appears to create modest improvements in symptoms"."Maybe the 80s wi........

Juries hear the phrase "Excuse me, objection your Honor . . . .", or some other form, often not as polite, frequently during trials. Due to TV and the movies, American jurors probably expect to hear the courtroom gladiator scream "I object . . . . !" Alternatively, some lawyers ponder the dynamic flow [...]

Alzheimer's diagnosis is important, like the famous slogan "with a stroke, time lost is brain lost," detecting alzheimer's is important in order to stave off cognitive decline. A just like a stroke time lost is brain lost. Unfortunately early diagnosis has been hard to come by, but now researchers say a simple test that combines thinking and movement can help to detect heightened risk for developing Alzheimer's disease in a person. The best part, they say this will work even before the........ Read more »

Ever wonder why, when people are too stressed, they are often grouchy, grumpy, nasty, distracted or forgetful? It may not be something you've done, in fact it turns out stress is literally tearing apart the brain. By this I mean that researchers have just highlighted a fundamental synaptic mechanism that explains the relationship between chronic stress and the loss of social skills and cognitive impairment. When triggered by stress, an enzyme attacks a synaptic regulatory molecule in the brain........ Read more »

Workplace research through the 20th Century suggested that selecting for intelligence is the best way to identify good performers. General mental ability (GMA), a popular recruitment measure that maps closely to the colloquial meaning of "intelligence", is strongly correlated with on-the job performance, well ahead of any other single measure.This consistent finding came from studies that mostly defined job performance as carrying out the duties expected in that role. Although intuitive, this ne........ Read more »

Critiques of the rather discredited "disease-model" of mental illness are commonplace, but we also need to articulate the alternative.

New research investigates which feline behaviours show that cats find food tasty.

It's no secret that when it comes to what the public thinks, atheists are usually at the bottom of the "nice" list. A survey in 2006 found that atheists were the least trusted minority group in America. Similar studies find that atheists are mistrusted and are seen as more immoral than their religious counterparts. But are these views justified? A new study by Hofmann et al.

Bose' best noise-cancelling headphones reduce noise across a wide frequency range.
QuietComfort 15 headphones feature exclusive Bose® advancements in noise-reduction technology. You hear less noise and more of your music and movies—with quality sound and a long-lasting comfortable fit. You won't find this combination of benefits in any other headphone.
Bose technology at work
Within every pair of QC®15 headphones, advanced electronics use microphones inside and outside each earcup to sense the sounds around you—and reduce the noise. Our proprietary ear cushion technology blocks some of the noise before it even reaches your ears. Together, these Bose innovations add up to a more enjoyable listening experience. See how in this video.
Relax with music—or without it
QC15 headphones also feature proprietary signal processing and our TriPort® acoustic headphone structure for more lifelike sound—including deep low notes—from small, lightweight earcups. And when you'd rather relax without music, switch on QC headphones to simply reduce the noise around you, wherever you are.
Take calls and control
QC15 headphones come with a cable customized for select Apple products. A three-button remote and microphone let you take calls on your iPhone and control music functions on other Apple devices. You can also purchase a mobile kit that lets your QC headphones work with other cell phones, too.
Welcome to a better-sounding world
When you fly with QC15 headphones, engine roar fades to a whisper. When you listen at home or at work, fewer distractions get in the way of your music. And when you want to stay connected, calls are just a button-press away. QC15 headphones continue to give you more of what you want to hear, and less of what you don't.

Mirror Mirror
A Book of Reversible Verse
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
""Who says it's true -- down is the only view?" Who, indeed? In this clever book, each poem can be read two ways: from the top line down and from the bottom line up. The poems, inspired by familiar folk tales and fairy tales, take on different meanings when read in reverse but still make sense. Some of them give the villain's point of view in a funny way, and others (such as the Snow White-themed poem "Mirror Mirror") are more on the dark and creepy side. Word-lovers and puzzle fans will want to make up their own "reversos" after reading Mirror Mirror." Kids' Books April 2014 newsletter http://www.libraryaware.com/996/NewsletterIssues/ViewIssue/e46cb15a-8a5d-465f-8496-f1c49da127f1?postId=60b10445-518e-4eac-9e1b-fd8c286e2aca
This book is pure genius!!! It is for people who don't like poetry.
The book of "Reverso" poetry is pure genius. You read the poem, and then the poem is reversed, line by line, creating a whole new and perfect story.
This is the book for people who say they don't like poetry.
Poet Marilyn Singer has invented a form of poetry that she calls "Reverso" where she writes a poem, and then rewrites, placing the lines in reverse order, changing only the punctuation. These poems are twinned to tell two sides of the same story.
In Mirror Mirror, Singer has turned her attention to fairy tales. She tells Cinderella from the point of view of Cinderella and the stepsisters, using essentially the same words. What results is a book full of unique poems that show us both sides of the same story, beautifully illustrated by Josee Massee.
This books is a must for Junior and Intermediate teachers looking for a new way to introduce their students to poetry.
A wonderful poetic challenge for reverse wording with beautiful illustrations telling old time favourite fairy tales. Great for all ages!

Hi, all--
I'm 20 weeks pregnant with my 3rd, and am 36. I went in for my 20 week anatomy ultrasound on Thursday, and thankfully, everything looks great with the baby.
The radiologist came in and informed me that I have a 10 cm uterine fibroid that has grown 4 cm since my NT scan 9 weeks earlier. Apparently, when I went in for pelvic pain last August (to see if I had an ovarian cyst), the fibroid was 2 cm at that time. Because the fibroid was so small, the doctor didn't inform me of it because she was not concerned.
My doctor informed me that a) the size is fine, b) the growth is normal (since pregnancy hormones do make it grow) and c) because of its placement (on the left side, not near or over my cervix or placenta), the baby is not in any danger and a vaginal delivery should not be compromised. I will have to go in for additional ultrasounds to monitor its growth and position, just to make sure that it won't put me or the baby in a compromising situation.
My question to you all is this--has anyone had a uterine fibroid while pregnant? How did it affect your delivery (did you have to have a c-section, or, if you had a vaginal delivery, did you have a lot of bleeding?). My doctor told me that with a recent patient, the patient had an 8 cm fibroid with two of her pregnancies and delivered her babies just fine--but noted that "they were ready for heavy bleeding" (which did not occur either time). So, of course that statement concerns me!
Thanks all!

Rx BANDITS AT THE TROUBADOUR
Those who've experienced them in person know that Seal Beach's Rx Bandits are one of the most rip-roaring, fantastically furious live bands on the planet. Chalk it up to their early days as horn-blazing ska-punk revivalists, a phase they've grown through quite gracefully. Though they were once part of the Drive-Thru Records stable, RxB always displayed an ear for the avant-garde, and time has proven them to be as prog(ressive) as the Mars Volta, though well grounded in deep dub riddims and punk-pop emotiveness (the latter needed to effectively deliver singer Matt Embree's political treatises). The band's last three albums — The Resignation (2003), And the Battle Begun (2006) and Mandala (2009) — show a veteran live act finally realizing its on-record potential, even as its membership dropped from six to a hornless four. Now, over the course of three evenings, the band completes the circle by performing each album in its entirety (on respective nights). Three-night passes sold out almost immediately — a testament to what's in store for those yet to be baptized by the Bandits. (Chris Martins)
Metallic heaven comes in many shades of hell. San Diego's veteran drone-metal artistes Earthless, whose pummeling hypnosis draws on minimalist Krautrock motorik and multimovement epicry, offer an intense visual focus in the multilimbed mayhem of human octopus drummer Mario Rubalcaba. Crom (not to be confused with the German epic metal band of the same name) offers a witty, L.A. grindcore-'n'-more mishmash of death/speed/thrash/sludge. They bring the kinda prog-oriented techie thrills, lotta breaks into double- and triple-time awesomeness and plenty cookie-monster vocals from frighteningly determined and grim hooded figures who impress as much with their ultraviolent sonic spew as with their good humor about it all. Also: Iceland's death/black/extreme punishers Bastard and the bad-trippin' boombastics of the LSDJ's. (John Payne)
Willie Nelson has been releasing records like a man half (maybe even a third!) his age lately, and virtually all of them have staked out their own little plot of distinct stylistic turf. Countryman, from 2005? Reggae. American Classic, from last year? Standards. This spring's T Bone Burnett–produced Country Music? Well, you can probably figure that one out. Even as he's demonstrated his range, though, Nelson has really only driven home the point that he sounds, above all, like Nelson; his is a voice that belongs up there (if not in power, then in familiarity) with Sinatra's and Aretha's. At the Greek he's slated to take the stage as Willie Nelson & Family, which we understand will include at least his son Lukas. There's no telling who else might show up. Ryan Bingham, a recent Academy Award winner for his and Burnett's theme from Crazy Heart, opens in support of his straight-talking new Junky Star. (Mikael Wood)
Also playing Friday: WAR at Fairplex; BOWZER'S ROCK & ROLL PARTY at the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts; RATATAT at Fox Theater Pomona; THE GHOST OF A SABER TOOTH TIGER at Hollywood Forever Cemetery; RANCID, ADOLESCENTS, THELONIOUS MONSTER at the Music Box; DIRTY PROJECTORS at the Wiltern; SPIRIT VINE at Five Stars Bar; DUNGEN at Pappy & Harriet's Palace; SUPAGROUP, ANGUS KHAN at Three Clubs; THE DAVE LIEBMAN NY QUARTET at Vitello's.
While so many festival promoters appear to obsess over offering something for everyone down to the last microgenre, the music lovers behind Waved Out go straight for the goods: psych rock, garage rock, folk rock, rock rock — the various hues of American guitar music, with a few twists within reason. Like headliner Dungen, the Swedish psychedelic giants whose latest album, Skit i Allt (that's "Fuck it all" in Sverige), is rich with Hendrixian guitar work, Pink Floyd–like spaceyness and bizarre jazz chords. But many of the bands playing the two-venue, all-day extravaganza hail from the Left Coast, from L.A. prog power trio the Entrance Band, to tropically tinged locals Lord Huron, to San Francisco malt-shop rocker Hanni El Khatib and his neighbors in the hazy, dazed Young Prisms. Brooklyn's Sharon Van Etten is sure to be a highlight as well, with her warm, often electric, Vashti Bunyan–inspired folk. Expect comedians and food trucks as well, all thanks to the locally based Aquarium Drunkard blog. (Chris Martins)
This rap-and-rock festival debuted last summer at Pomona's Fairplex; this weekend Epicenter returns in a two-day edition at Fontana's Auto Club Speedway (behold: growth in the music industry!). Eminem and Kiss share headlining duties Saturday night, and while the glam-rock gods are sure to entertain, don't be surprised if they're outdone by Detroit's finest, who's riding high on what may turn out to be the year's biggest-selling record (not to mention a series of reportedly mind-blowing stadium gigs with Jay-Z). Blink-182 and Rise Against top Sunday's somewhat lower-wattage lineup, though punk fans should arrive early for a solid undercard that includes Bad Religion and Against Me! Hip-hop heads are advised to show up Saturday for an appearance by Big Boi of OutKast; his recently released solo debut won't rack up Eminem-style sales, but it could be the year's best rap album. With Bush, Papa Roach, Suicidal Tendencies, Biffy Clyro and others. Also Sunday. (Mikael Wood)

Figure 5.
Examples of gap filing, gap calling and sequence assembly discordances detected by alignments between in silico (pseudomolecule sequence) and optical maps. Panels A-D show types of discordances revealed through alignment of optical maps with in silico restriction maps from IRGSPBuild4 and TIGRBuild4 pseudomolecules; red arrows show their basepair locations, and green bars highlight the size of reported gaps in pseudomolecules. Aligned in silico (blue) and optical maps (gold) are shown as tracks comprising individual restriction fragments drawn as numbered bars whose length scales with size (kb). Identified discordances are annotated by color-keyed bars describing restriction map features presented by optical maps, but not found within corresponding in silico restriction maps: magenta = consecutive restriction fragments; red = restriction cut site(s); turquoise = missing restriction site(s). A: The top panel (IRGSPBuild4 Ch01, 10,043,782 – 10,107,330 bp) shows an overestimated sequence gap (green bar; 50.0 kb vs. optical map = 13.10 kb + 12.22 kb); bottom panel (IRGSPBuild4 Ch10, 3,968,375 – 4,068,843 bp), an underestimated gap (green bar; 100.468 kb vs. 26 optical restriction fragments = 507.18 kb, arrow). B: Discovered gaps in pseudomolecules: IRGSPBuild4 Ch08 (3,241,575 bp; 0.41 kb + 30.07 kb) and TIGRBuild4 Ch11 (27,515,267 bp; 2.65 kb + 47.26 kb). C: Extra sequence: IRGSPBuild4 Ch10 (14,828,584 – 14,978,980 bp, 150.396 kb vs. 48.36 kb, turquoise bar); TIGRBuild4 Ch11 (19,298,056 – 19,328,366 bp, 30.310 kb vs. 11.65 kb, turquoise bar). D: Misassembly: IRGSPBuild4 Ch04 (12,428,850 – 12,585,538 bp) vs. a stretch of 11 unaligned optical restriction fragments; TIGRBuild4 Ch04 (15,179,265 – 15,246,346 bp) vs. 5 unaligned restriction fragments. Panels E and F show examples of large-scale misassembly of sequence. In silico and optical maps are horizontal tracks comprising restriction fragments demarcated by vertical lines with aligned portions color-keyed and indicated by connecting lines; unaligned restriction fragments are white. E: IRGSPBulid4 Ch11 (29,945,713 – 30,823,503 bp; 877.790 kb) shows an 89.796 kb inversion (blue) and two significant portions (18.121 kb, 202.752 kb; white) unaligned to the optical map. F: IRGSPBuild4 & TIGRBuild4 Ch11 (18,181,576 – 18,600,983 bp; 419.407 kb & 15,853,410 – 16,272,766 bp; 419.356 kb, blue lettering for TIGRBuild4) show a 39.334 kb inversion (blue), a small insertion and portion (18,356,214 – 18,365,879 bp) missing a possible repetitive region characterized by the optical map.

$45 but it's not really necessary to upgrade. I'd just prefer to have all my V-Bar'd helis running the same FW.
To get back on topic, I flew my SIM today (had to work) but plan to get at least the mCPx and 130X out Sat after work.
|Oct 20, 2012, 05:25 PM
Six flights this morning. One on my B450 and five on my B400. . Guess I should referee to both as being B450X as they are both FBL and simple fact is they only weight approx. 1 oz. different and that is mostly due to diffence in the motors. B450 has a somewhat beffier tail and that is about it.
|Oct 20, 2012, 05:38 PM
Flew my airwolf for a pack and flew my 450pro around. It was a little windy, but the last couple of weekends have been hell, so it was packed at the field. Still waiting for my new landing gear to show up for my 500pro.

First time yesterday I took my charger to indoor flying and charged batteries to be able to fly more. Reason: I had, practically, only nCP-X with me and 4 batteries (and one really battered mCP-X but it didn't really count). Anyway - it was really good! Plenty of good flying too see! Even my nCP-X (and my thumbs) didn't do that bad! I can now confidently flip with pirouetting to inverted and out! Nose in and tail in!
Also, something very strange happened - something I never dreamt would be possible - nCP-X is really wonderful/different helicopter:
How many times you had helicopter crashes to the ground (hall floor) and bounced off if to settle in upright position. So, all you needed to do is release throttle hold switch and fly more! It happened at least three or four time for me yesterday! And when talked to other people they said same happened to them a few times that evening!

So weather has been tough around here and I have been putting a metal roof on my house so yesterday was the first day to squeeze a pak in in the mCPx. First flight warmed up my fingers and it was like I didn't take a break. Second pak I flipped the mCPx inverted and held it for a few seconds....that went well a couple of more times and on the third I lost it and it smacked the wood pyle...from fairly high. Not sure if I got TH before impact but it sure messed up my mCPx Broke my tail fin tail rotor, landing skids destroyed with a pin stuck in the frame.....that is going to be hard to get out.
Today is a work day but I should get a pak or two
Hope everyone is getting air!
|Oct 21, 2012, 01:52 PM
Six more flights on my B400 FBL this morning and finally mustered enough courage to do my first loops with something bigger than the B 130X. Man the B400 loops so nicely tracks perfectly straight ,does 40 foot or so dia. ones and does not lose its' forward speed at all that I could tell.
|Oct 21, 2012, 02:42 PM
Went up in the back yard just to test some new products. Put the Tarot 450 thrust bearing tail on. Seems to be a improvement, but only if it is assembled right.
Out of the package it wouldn't work any better than normal without fixing the shims.
|Oct 21, 2012, 05:02 PM
Put 3 flights on my 450 FBL, 2 on my Blade cp Pro ( this thing kinda fun to fly just to cruse around in FF) and about 3 flights on my Mcpx brushless. it was a BEAUTIFUL morning One could only dream of better ones, lil chilli to start but warmed up nice blue skys and barely a breeze
Added picture my Mcpx, Cpp, 450 fbl and dads B400 Fbl in the back
|Oct 21, 2012, 05:40 PM
Here is a link with pictures from Saturday. Getting our field ready for the winter. One good pic of my 450 going inverted and some of my airwolf next to my 450.

I did fly yesterday. I took both my stretched Protos and non stretched to compare them. Did fly stretched first and... loved it! Now I am sure that I haven't set other one the same way (similar way) and definitively like stretched (as they currently are) over ordinary one. I wanted to get used to flying Protos again - specially after last week when I felt uncomfortable with it (425m one).
Yesterday I really enjoy flying the bigger one and even asked someone to take a video of my flying. I won't post it on youtube as it was the worst flight I had that day (even though with the best, 55C battery).
Aside of it I flew my HK250GT and got problem with whipping tail so I need to sort it out. Nevertheless managed some nice piro flips (nice in comparison to ones I had before). It is certainly helicopter I'm going to keep for (relatively) still days.
And had a few batteries through my nCP-X. Here's the video for all those who like games where objective is to try to spot small helicopter with yellow canopy over green background!
|Oct 22, 2012, 01:15 PM
Took my AS3X converted Sbach out on my lunch break. Was flying great. 20 mph winds, was surfing the sky
Landed and swapped packs nd went up again. This time I noticed that the roll rate was really slow. Usually it rolls like a drill bit! I landed uneventfully, and then I saw that one of the aileron servos was dead. But the good thing is it was stuck in the neutral position so It was still controllable just a bit sluggish on the rolling. Hopefully a good cleaning will get it back in action!!
|Oct 22, 2012, 02:41 PM
No flying today or for the past couple of weeks, wont be flying for quite some time as i'm busy doing this still. I've already gone past the flying itch so all's good.
|Oct 22, 2012, 06:50 PM
Mini Helis Discussion Did you fly today?
Yes I did ,another six flights on my Blade 400 this morning for a total of 48 since converting to FBL.
Installed a set of Align 3G mains on it this afternoon to replace the Thunder Power CFs. The TP fly fine but they are mostly black with a bit of white on the tips. Been flying 3Gs on my B450 and they show up better so there you go.

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Announces Investigation Regarding The Acquisition Of Charming Shoppes Inc.
Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities firm headquartered in New York City, is investigating the Board of Directors of Charming Shoppes Inc. ("Charming Shoppes" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: CHRS) for potential breaches of fiduciary duties in connection with their duty to disclose material information in the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement Schedule 14D-9 (the "Recommendation Statement") filed with the S.E.C. on May 15, 2012, which may impair shareholders' ability to adequately value stock price in relation to the sale of the Company to Ascena Retail Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASNA) in an all-cash deal valued at about $890 million. The price per share offered to Charming Shoppes shareholders is also under investigation, as under the terms of the proposed transaction, Charming Shoppes' stockholders will receive only $7.35 in cash per each share of Charming Shoppes they own, while according to Yahoo! Finance, at least one financial analyst has set a price target of $8.00 for Charming Shoppes. The proposed transaction is structured as a tender offer and may be effectuated without a shareholder vote. The closing of the tender offer is expected to occur on June 12, 2012. Time is of the essence.
Request more information now by clicking here: www.faruqilaw.com/CHRS. There is no cost or obligation to you.
Whether Charming Shoppes' Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties to Charmin Shoppes' stockholders by failing to disclose all material information in the Recommendation Statement, whether they failed to maximize shareholder value and if so, by how much the sale undervalues the Company to the detriment of Charming Shoppes' shareholders - are the key focus of this investigation.
Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP is a national law firm which represents investors and individuals in class action litigation. The firm is focused on providing exemplary legal services in complex litigation in the areas of securities, shareholder, antitrust and consumer litigation, throughout all phases of litigation.

User review spotlight: Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar (DOS)
Main Menu
(Intro shot) Someone seems to messing up with the channels... and there are rather a lot of them. Was that a cable or sat!? ;))
(Intro shot) UN building seems to be a spot for Nod terrorist actions.
Choosing side. It can be Global Defense Initiative (the good guys) or Brotherhood of NOD (bad guys).
Playing for GDI, your supreme commander will be General Sheppard.
As for the Nod side, the Kane will be your leader and mind behind all the wicked secret operations.
As GDI commander, you'll be fighting on European grounds.
As Nod fanatic, you'll wreck havoc on African grounds.
It all started by a small invasion on the northern Europe.
Some missions are to quick infiltrate the enemy base and steal tech stuff, but it's not just easy trying to find a weak spot to enter the Nod base.
Tiberium fields are known to be toxic for your troops, so best idea is to put them in your APC for passing through.
Sometimes it's better to engineer enemy building then to level it, as it can give you a key to enemy weapon arsenal production.
Destroying church is far from humanitarian, but it can be rather rewarding somethimes, money-wise.
Nod truck and the rest of the base in flames shows there will be no prisoners.
Last point of battle is always enlarged and you can choose from which side will you lead an attack.
Nod wouldn't be terroristic organization if they wouldn't have some really terrorizing units.
Three GDI Hum-Vees approaching on the Nod Obelisk.
In-game option menu.
Ready to takeover the GDI base with an engineer.
Attack on the enemy tiberium refinery and silo.
All you need for successful attack and defense, the rest is up to units and strategy.
Well protected Nod base... except from that rocky mountains side.
Building an Obelisk Guard Tower, the most powerful defense installation in the game.
Some enemies to kill
Enemy base, time to capture the builds
Enemy has a anti-air, grenadiers must destroy it.
source of Tiberium
Africa - missions of NOD
Nod destroy small village in africa
NOD begins mission, base is building.

Press without a reporter? CrazyPublished 7:32am Friday, November 5, 2010
Whew! I'm glad Randy Moss was cut and went off to Tennessee.
After hearing his last-ever press conference Sunday I was scared that he was going to change the newspaper business in Minnesota forever.
That's because Moss said he would only do interviews. But there was a catch.
He would ask the questions and then provide the answers to his own questions.
Holy crap. Now I realize that it was Randy Moss speaking and that most of what Randy Moss speaks is pure rubbish.
But what if what he was saying was true?
From time to time, it's good to have a conversation with yourself — but not an interview.
What if other people across the state picked up on that wild and crazy trend?
Even here in Fergus Falls.
There is no doubt that Fergus Falls would become a community where everything is coming up roses.
All the cups would be half full and not half empty. There would be a pot at the end of every rainbow.
That is, unless city council candidate Jamie Cooper were interviewing himself.
I think he'd probably tell us that the world known as Fergus Falls is coming to an end and he can lead us through the gates of the city to a much better place.
This interviewing yourself and answering your own question thing could be a real problem.
So what if Randy Moss, or your city council member, county board member, or school board member held their own press conferences, provided all the questions as well as the answers and ingeniously removed reporters from the traditional Q and A, making them the subject of both the Q and the A?
When you interview yourself, you can customize the interview however you see fit.
That's a problem.
Is it another blow to journalism, or another evolution?
As service industries eliminate actual service — first we pumped our own gas, then we bused our own tables, now we scan and bag our own groceries. Is it that far fetched to image people interviewing themselves?
I've enjoyed my 20 years in the newspaper business. It has been a privilege to interview the people I've encountered in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa.
But that's because I interviewed them and they then provided me the material that makes some stories easy to write, and some just a little bit harder.
A lot of people said the return of Randy Moss to unite him with Brett Favre was the perfect marriage, that they'd get the Vikings back in the playoff hunt for better or worse.
After hearing Moss' plan for interviewing himself, I think the deal was for the worse.
Thank goodness for Brad Childress. Randy Moss and his "ingenious" plans have hit the road.

3-alarm fire destroys home in NewfaneSeptember 25,2013
By Christian Avard
Staff Report
NEWFANE - A three-alarm fire destroyed a home at 174 Newfane Hill Road in Newfane on Wednesday, according to Southwest New Hampshire Fire Mutual Aid.
Newbrook Fire Chief Todd Lawley said the fire was called in just before 1 p.m. and was fully involved by the time firefighters arrived at the scene. The home owners, Sandra and Reginald Sorrell and their daughter were home at the time of the fire and were not injured, Lawley said.
"(Reginald Sorrell) was doing some shingle work on the side of their house when his daughter yelled to him there was a fire. It started on the second floor in the kitchen, engulfed the second floor and then the roof," Lawley said.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation. The home was already declared a total loss before the fire was under control by late afternoon.
The fire went from two-alarm to three-alarm status because tankers were needed to access a local water source. Rescue Inc. and the Newbrook, South Newfane, West Dummerston, Putney, Winhall, Guilford, Wardsboro, East Dover and Townshend Fire Departments responded to the fire.

Apurva Agnihotri is playing a reality show producer in "Aasman Se Aage" and says such shows thrive on emotions as hardships of contestants find a connect with the audiences.
"Reality shows strive on emotions. People like to watch how a person works for 18 hours to earn 1,000 bucks a day or hardships faced by an autorickshaw driver. This is because they relate to the hardships," Apurva told IANS on phone from Mumbai.
"No one would really like to listen to the stories of a multi-millionaire. 'Aasma Se Aagey' delves into the world of reality shows. I wouldn't say it is 100 percent based on reality shows - 70 percent is about the reality shows, 30 percent is fiction," he added.
The actor has himself participated in the reality shows like "Nach Baliye" and "Pati Patni Aur Woh".
By agreeing to work in 'Aasma Se Aagey', Apurva says, he has taken a risk. The show comes on Life OK.
"I have taken a risk, but I like it. It is a path-breaking show, something, which has not been on television before. The show has opened up well, considering there was hardly any publicity. Moreover, it clashes with 'Bade Acche Laggte Hai' (on Sony) on same time slot," he said.
Apurva is one actor who made a trasition from big to small screen. After working in movies like "Pardes" and "Pyaar Koi Khel Nahin", he moved to small screen.
The 39-year-old rose to fame on TV as Armaan Suri in popular show "Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin". Later he featured in "Kaajjal", "Radhaa Ki Betiyaan Kuch Kar Dikhayengi" and in 'Bidaaii Sapna Babul Ka' as Anmol Rajvansh.
The actor feels television is yet to evolve.
"I don't think television has evolved as yet, we are still trying to. The saas-bahu serials still rule the roost. People still like to watch such shows and are hesitant to accept new concepts," he said.
Lot of shows start off with new concepts, but end up showing saas-bahu politics. This, as Apurv says, is done to make profit and added: "For the benefit of the show, they include major twist and turns."
"I think we should start having various seasons of the shows, just like American drama 'Desperate Housewives', where the curiosity remains among the audience," he added.
What about going back to movies?
"I have no idea when would I be back on big screen. I always opt for something that excites me. I would love to direct," he said.

Consultation (Texas)
The Consultation served as the provisional government of Mexican Texas from November 1835 through March 1836 during the Texas Revolution. Tensions rose in Texas during early 1835 as throughout Mexico federalists began to oppose the increasingly centralist policies of the government. In the summer, Texans elected delegates to a political convention to be held in Gonzales in mid-October. Weeks before the convention began, settlers took up arms against Mexican soldiers at the Battle of Gonzales. The convention was postponed until November 1 after many of the delegates joined the newly organized volunteer Texan Army to initiate a siege of the Mexican garrison at San Antonio de Bexar. On November 3, a quorum was reached in San Felipe de Austin.
Within days, the delegates passed a resolution to define why Texans were fighting. They expressed allegiance to the deposed Constitution of 1824 and maintained their right to form an independent government while this document was not in effect. Henry Smith was elected governor of the new provisional government and the remaining delegates formed a General Council. In the next weeks, the council authorized the creation of a new regular army to be commanded by Sam Houston. As Houston worked to establish an army independent from the existing volunteer army, the council repeatedly interfered in military matters.
After authorizing an expedition to take Matamoros, Mexico, the council named several men, simultaneously, to organize and lead the assault. Angry at the effect the expedition was having on existing Texian garrisons, Smith dissolved the council. Alleging that Smith did not have the authority to disband them, council members impeached him and lieutenant governor James W. Robinson was named acting governor.
In the summer of 1835, Texas settlers had elected delegates to a political convention, which they called the Consultation. This convention would decide what steps the area should take in response to the unrest and the civil war being fought between federalists and centralists. The delegates would convene in Gonzales in mid-October.[1] Each municipality in Texas would have three delegates to the convention.[2]
In the interim, hostilities between Mexican soldiers and Texas colonists increased, and in early October a group of Texans attacked a Mexican army contingent which had been sent to retrieve a cannon that had previously been loaned to Gonzales. This Battle of Gonzales marked the official start of the Texas Revolution. Gonzales became a rallying point for Texas settlers who opposed the centralist policies, and men flocked to the town.[3] On October 11, the men formed themselves into a volunteer Texan Army and elected Stephen F. Austin as their commander.[4] Many of the Consultation delegates had also gathered in Gonzales, and rather than wait for the session to begin, they joined the army on a march against the Mexican garrison at San Antonio de Bexar (modern-day San Antonio, Texas).[5]
In response to the low turnout, the Consultation was rescheduled for November 1, and would be held instead at San Felipe de Austin.[5] The siege of Bexar began in late October. Newly arrived immigrant Sam Houston traveled to San Antonio to exhort the delegates to leave the siege and come to the consultation. In a compromise, the officers voted to allow delegates who were members of the rank-and-file or were line officers to leave the siege, while those who were staff officers would remain to oversee military operations.[6] William B. Travis, William Wharton, and Stephen F. Austin remained behind, while James Bowie accompanied Houston to San Felipe.[2]
A quorum finally formed on November 3.[5] Branch Tanner Archer of Brazoria was elected to preside over the gathering.
Formation of government[edit]
The Consultation's main purpose was to decide the overall goals of the revolution. Members of the War Party advocated for complete independence from Mexico, while Peace Party representatives wished for Texas to remain part of Mexico, but under the 1824 Constitution of Mexico. Although Austin was unable to attend, he did send a letter to the consultation, asking them to follow the Constitution of 1824 and to make it clear to Mexico that the hostilities were not an attempt for independence but instead a determination to fight for their rights as Mexican citizens. The turning point of the discussion came when Houston, who many believed to be a staunch member of the War Party, asked the fellow delegates to refrain from declaring independence. Such a declaration would likely cause many of the people who supported the Constitution of 1824 in other parts of Mexico to refrain from supporting the Texans.[2] Because Austin and many of his Peace Party supporters were still with the army at Bexar, they were unable to provide as much influence to the gathering as expected.[5]
The Consultation compromised. On November 7, they released a resolution declaring that "The people of Texas, availing themselves of their natural rights, solemnly declare that they have taken up arms in defense of their rights and liberties which were threatened by the encroachments of military despots and in defense of the Republican principles of the federal constitution of Mexico of 1824."[2] The resolution further specified that Texas reserved the right to create an independent government as long as Mexico was not governed by that document. The members hoped that this wording would allow them to gain support from both federalists within Mexico and from the United States. The resolution passed 33–14.[5]
The delegates then created the post of governor. Although Austin was nominated, he lost to Henry Smith 31–22.[7] James Robinson was elected lieutenant governor. The remaining delegates formed the General Council.
The soldiers currently fighting near Bexar were volunteers, who joined the army to accomplish a specific task and staunchly maintained their right to elect their own leaders. On November 13, the council officially established a regular army. Houston was appointed to command this new Provisional Army of Texas, subject to the orders of the governor. Houston was instructed to raise an army from scratch; because the volunteers had organized before the Consultation convened, they could not be forced to accept Houston as their commander.[8] The new army should consist of 2,500 men, who would enlist for 2-year terms in exchange for land grants.[2]
After consulting with some of the officers currently at the siege of Bexar, notably James W. Fannin and William B. Travis, the council chose to expand the army. On December 5 they created a Corps of Permanent Volunteers, which would have a shorter enlistment period and more autonomy.[9] This move hindered Houston's efforts to fill his regular army; most citizens preferred to join the Permanent Volunteers.[10]
Houston was also appointed to the Select Committee on Indian Affairs, as he had spent much of his career dealing with Indian nations. The Texans needed the support of the Indians (or at least their neutrality) to win their fight against Mexico.[2]
In December, the council recommended the Matamoros Expedition, in which Texian soldiers would attack Matamoros, Mexico. The planned expedition was expected to draw support from federalists within other Mexican states, perhaps inspiring armed uprisings throughout Mexico. The governor initially supported the plan, and asked Houston to organize the expedition; Houston appointed James Bowie to lead the expedition, but Bowie did not receive his orders for several weeks.[11] The council asked Edward Burleson, the commander of the volunteers at Bexar, to lead the expedition. Burleson had already resigned, and his elected replacement, Frank W. Johnson, instead received the message. On December 30, Johnson and 200 men left Bexar to travel to Presidio La Bahia in Goliad to prepare for the expedition.[12] When the council received Johnson's note detailing his plans, they authorized him to lead the expedition. Johnson initially declined the commission, but changed his mind the following day. Without revoking Johnson's commission, the council elected Fannin to lead the mission instead.[12]
Political confusion[edit]
Only 100 Texians remained at the Alamo Mission in Bexar, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel James C. Neill.[12] Neill was disgusted that Johnson had stripped the Alamo of almost all provisions and the majority of the men and sent a strong message to Houston asking for reinforcements and more supplies. Houston forwarded the letter to Smith, with an added note that he believed the Johnson mission was illegal, as the council had not had a quorum when it was authorized.[13] In response, Smith denounced the expedition as idiocy and labelled its supporters either fools or traitors.[14] He then disbanded the council until March 1 unless they agreed to renounce the Matamoros Expedition. The council determined that Smith had no authority to dismiss them.[13] They soon impeached Smith and named the lieutenant governor, Robinson, as the new governor. The documents forming the provisional government, however, did not grant the council the authority to impeach the governor.[14]
On January 12, Smith wrote a conciliatory letter to the council: "I admit that I [used] language beyond the rules of decorum", and declared that if the council would admit that their actions regarding the Matamoros Expedition were wrong he would reinstate them so that "the two branches [would] again harmonize to the promotion of the true interests of the country".[15]
For the next two months, few in Texas were sure who was in charge, and little was accomplished. On March 1, the Convention of 1836 opened with new delegates. This convention quickly issued a declaration of independence and formed the Republic of Texas.
