Travel the Word: London
Monday, April 14th, 2014Are you tired of all those 'Things to do in your twenties' articles yelling at you to travel the world? I am. While travelling the world is a really, really good idea, sometimes life throws a stones in your path which disallow you from spending your money on travels – or perhaps you're not earning enough to save up for a long round-the-world trip. It's alright – if you can't spend thousands on travelling just yet, there is still hope: books. Yep, as always, books come to the rescue. It may not be quite the same as jetting off and seeing the sights, but with a little imagination, curling up in your favourite chair and picking up a book set in the destination of your dreams can scratch the wanderlust itch… at least until you can finally gather together the money to make it a reality.
To start off this series, let's look at some brilliant books set in London. From classic to contemporary, these books offer up plenty of windows through which to gaze at the city of dreams, lights, misery and new beginnings.
1. Mrs Dalloway, Virginia Woolf (1925)
Detailing a day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway, a London socialite, the novel is one of Woolf's best-known and best-loved. Look out at the world through the character's eyes as she makes preparations for a party she is to host in the evening. The narrative travels back and forth in time, constructing a literary collage of the protagonist's life, inner life, and the post-war society in which she lives. With the bruises of the recent war still visible in its fabric, London is more than a passive setting in the novel, and often takes centre stage with the author mentioning landmarks which both ground the story in a real location, and also serve as profound symbols for the characters' lives. With themes as broad as feminism, homosexuality, existentialism and mental illness, Mrs Dalloway is often considered one of the most important fictional works of the 20th century.
Notable quote: "She had the perpetual sense, as she watched the taxi cabs, of being out, out, far out to sea and alone; she always had the feeling that it was very, very, dangerous to live even one day."
2. Neverwhere, Neil Gaiman (1996)
Neil Gaiman's first novel, Neverwhere, is one of the most popular London novels, as well as one of the best-loved urban fantasy novels. The novel introduces us to Richard Mayhew – something of an underdog, and a newcomer to the city. When he meets an injured, homeless girl (or so he thinks) and helps her, he quickly finds himself in a strange new reality incorporating the city which exists around and below the city: London Below. Now trapped in this world, and on the run from a couple of malevolent time-travellers, he must make his journey through this new vision of London. Gaiman makes wonderful use of the London Underground and its many stops, creating – for example – a real court in which an Earl resides, a sublime Angel called Islington, and the explanation behind the ubiquitous warnings to 'Mind the Gap'. Both hilarious and unsettling, the novel never takes itself too seriously, but it is clear that plenty of meticulous research has gone into creating the novel's magical London. If you have ever dreamt of visiting London, this is definitely the book for you.
Notable quote: "Metaphors failed him, then. He had gone beyond the world of metaphor and simile into the place of things that are, and it was changing him."
3. Her Fearful Symmetry, Audrey Niffenegger (2009)
Set mainly in London's beautifully haunting Highgate Cemetery, where Niffenegger acted as a tour guide while she was researching this novel, Her Fearful Symmetry tells the story of a set of identical twins who inherit a flat in London when their aunt, who they have only met once, dies. Although their aunt and their mother, who were sisters, have been estranged for years, the twins decide to move to London as they come of age. A ghost story at its core, the novel skilfully builds characters and weaves a tapestry of delicate relationships between them – and this is what is most compelling. Touching upon the themes of love, loneliness, grief, and doppelgangers, the book takes an impossible premise and makes it plausible – all set within the stoney silence of the cemetery.
Notable quote: "There are several ways to react to being lost. One is to panic: this was usually Valentina's first impulse. Another is to abandon yourself to lostness, to allow the fact that you've misplaced yourself to change the way you experience the world."
4. London Fields, Martin Amis (1989)
Readers familiar with Amis's work will know him to be a master at mixing dark humour, introspection, insight and anxiety, and this novel is solid evidence of this. An unlinear murder-mystery, London Fields is set in 1999, in a world which faces the looming threat of nuclear war, and a morally degraded London. A cast of grotesque, completely unredeemable characters assemble in a dank West London pub. The protagonist and narrator, Samson Young, has suffered from writer's block for 20 years, is slowly dying of some terminal illness, and the novel opens with him expressing gratitude at having found an already-formed story just waiting to be written.
Notable quote: "People are chaotic quiddities living in one cave each. They pass the hours in amorous grudge and playback and thought experiment. At the campfire they put the usual fraction on exhibit, and listen to their own silent gibber about how they're feeling and how they're going down. We've been there. Death helps. Death gives us something to do. Because it's a full time job looking the other way."
5. White Teeth, Zadie Smith (2000)
Whether you love it or can't wrap your head around it, White Teeth is one of those ambitious, expansive novels that captures the essence of a society in flux. Met by great critical acclaim, it is the story of two wartime friends – a Bangladeshi man and an English man – and their families, and their lives in London after the war. It is an epic spanning a broad range of themes: from immigration and identity, to race and assimilation, and paints a vivid picture of a multicultural London.
Notable quote: "Every moment happens twice: inside and outside, and they are two different histories."
6. Brick Lane, Monica Ali (2003)
In this celebrated novel, follow Nazneen – born in an idyllic village in Bangladesh in 1969 – whose life seems to have been left in the hands of the Fates. In her teens she is married off to an older man and moves to East London. Her beautiful younger sister, meanwhile, elopes with her first love, and the book explores their parallel lives in the two countries. Exploring themes of displacement, adultery, love, abuse, and survival, the book nevertheless retains its light tone and sense of humour, which keeps it from falling into the territory of melodrama and lends it a charmingly human touch.
Notable quote: "And so they entwined their lives to drink from the pools of each other's sadness. From these special watering holes, each man drew strength."
7. Tunnel Vision, Keith Lowe (2001)
Andy is a 20-something bookshop clerk who lives in London. He likes the London Underground… a lot. On the eve of his wedding to Rachel (whom he also met on the Tube), he makes a drunken bet with Rolf: he bets he can visit all of the London Underground stations in just one day. Only by completing this challenge can he get the Eurostar tickets to Paris, where his fiancee will be waiting for him.
Notable quote: "You see, the Tube isn't like other railways. It's happening, it's now. It's sexy."
8. Saturday, Ian McEwan (2005)
Set in Fitzrovia over one single day – Saturday 15 February 2003 – the novel deals with the comings and goings of neurosurgeon Henry Perowne whose day culminates in a family dinner in the evening. On that particular Saturday, the protagonist goes about his chores whilst pondering a large demonstration happening that day against the 2003 invasion of Iraq, and the events which led to it. His day, however, is disrupted when he meets a violent man. In this novel, McEwan explores terrorism and violence, and the fragility of human life as seen from a clinical, medical perspective. Other themes include happiness, purpose, political engagement, and rationalism.
Notable quote: "He never believed in fate or providence, or the future being made by someone in the sky. Instead, at every instant, a trillion trillion possible futures; the pickiness of pure chance and physical laws seemed like freedom from the scheming of a gloomy god."
9. A Severed Head, Iris Murdoch (1961)
Set in and around London, this satirical novel focuses on the lives and struggles of the middle classes. The protagonist, Martin – a 40-something wine merchant – is married and having an affair with a young academic. When his wife reveals she is leaving him for her psychoanalyst, he is shocked. Soon, he falls in love with yet another woman and uncovers a web of adultery, incest, and secrets best left alone. A study of bougeois hedonism, the novel is considered one of Murdoch's most entertaining.
Notable quote: "There is no substitute for the comfort supplied by the utterly taken-for-granted relationship…"
10. The Ministry of Fear, Graham Greene (1943)
Few writers can distil the essence of neurosis like Graham Greene. Set in London during the Blitz, this novel details the story of Arthur Rowe, who visits a forlorn fête in Bloomsbury and wins a cake. What he does not realise is that the cake was given to him by mistake, and contains something of great importance to the Germans and, upon accepting it, he has become involved in a grand conspiracy. The novel deals with mental disorder, fear, love, and the fleeting nature of memory.
Notable quote: "But it is impossible to go through life without trust; that is to be imprisoned in the worst cell of all, oneself."

Friday, February 21st, 2014- Doing the rounds all over my Facebook and Twitter feeds this last week was Ellen Page's coming out speech, which happened on Feb 14 at a Human Rights Campaign conference for LGBT youths.

40 untranslatable words we should all be using
Wednesday, February 19th, 2014I love words.
I really, really love words. Their silent power to evoke reactions – some intellectual, some emotional, some even visceral. I love words – those arbitrary combinations of sounds which are at the core of language, which are so heavy with meaning. The love of words is a truth universal to all the writers I know.
Like most Maltese people, I am lucky enough to call two languages my mother tongues. I was raised speaking both English and Maltese at home and with friends. And while English is the language I think and write in, Maltese is a beautiful, complex language which will always influence my experience of the world. Because that is what words do. I've mentioned the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis here before – briefly, it suggests that language affects the way its speakers organise the world and, if you subscribe to this school of thought, that means that the more languages you are exposed to, the more rounded your world-view. My fascination with words has led me to learn three further languages to varying degrees of proficiency, and it always interests me to learn new idioms of the language because they give away so much about the history of that language and the mindset of the people who speak it.
My favourite thing of all, however, perhaps even more than the compulsion to trace the etymology of words back to their roots, is to come across words in other languages which are virtually untranslatable into English. Yes, you can paraphrase them to roughly explain them, but these do in one word what it would otherwise take you a whole sentence to achieve.
Here is a list of my favourite untranslatable words.
1. L'esprit de l'escalier (French). Literally 'the spirit of the staircase'. This refers to the predicament of coming up with the perfect retort when the argument is over and it is too late to use it.
2. Ya'aburnee (Arabic). Literally 'you bury me'. This is one which, like most things uttered at the height of romance, is both dramatic and slightly morbid. It means that you hope to die before this person does so you may never have to suffer his or her loss.
3. Toska (Russian). Vladimir Nabokov describes this word most poignantly as: "No single word in English renders all the shades of toska. At its deepest and most painful, it is a sensation of great spiritual anguish, often without any specific cause. At less morbid levels it is a dull ache of the soul, a longing with nothing to long for, a sick pining, a vague restlessness, mental throes, yearning. In particular cases it may be the desire for somebody of something specific, nostalgia, love-sickness. At the lowest level it grades into ennui, boredom."
4. Wabi-sabi (Japanese). This lovely word refers to the act of finding beauty in life's flaws and imperfections, and accepting them as they are.
5. Torschlusspanik (German). Literally 'the panic of a gate closing'. This refers to the fear of diminishing opportunities which increases as one ages.
6. Saudade (Portuguese). Refers to the intense longing for a person or place you loved, which which or whom is now lost forever.
7. Hiraeth (Welsh). Similar to 'saudade', this word refers to homesickness tinged with grief for a place you can never return to.
8. Komoreb (Japanese). A word used to refer to the sunlight which filters through the leaves of trees.
9. Retrouvailles (French). The happiness of being reunited with a loved one whom you haven't seen for a long time.
10. Pena Ajena (Spanish). That cringeworthy shame you experience on somebody else's behalf when they are behaving in an embarrassing way.
11. Schadenfreude (German). This one is a familiar word as it has been adopted into the English vernacular. It refers, of course, to the pleasure derived from the misfortune of others.
12. L'appel du vide (French). Literally, 'the call of the void'. This refers to that impulse some of us get to jump when we are standing on a high ledge.
13. Pochemuchka (Russian). A wonderful word which refers to a person who asks far too many questions.
14. Backpfeifengesicht (German). An equally wonderful word which means, literally, a face badly in need of getting punched.
15. Beżżul (Maltese). Somebody who is cursed with unrelentless bad luck. This is similar to the Yiddish words 'Schlimazl' and 'Schlemiel'.
16. Ilunga (Tshiluba – spoken in Southwest Congo). This marvellously specific word refers to the stature of a person "who is ready to forgive any first abuse tolerate it a second time, but absolutely never forgive or tolerate any third offence".
17. Flâner (French). This is the art of leisurely and aimlessly strolling around the streets [of Paris] without any particular destination in mind, and done simply to bask in the beauty of the city.
18. Ayurnamat (Inuit). The philosophy that there is no need or reason to worry about that which you cannot change. Basically, Hakuna Matata.
19. Desvelado (Spanish). The tiredness that comes specifically from having been kept awake all night – by inconsiderate neighbours, for example.
20. Donaldkacsázás (Hungarian). Quite literally, 'Donald Ducking' – i.e. Wearing a shirt but no trousers or underpants inside your house.
21. Atolondrar (Spanish). To be so overwhelmed by something that it causes you to become scatter-brained and careless. For example, if you were multi-tasking so heavily at work that you forgot to send an important e-mail.
22. Żanżan (Maltese). To wear or use something new for the first time. Similar to the Spanish 'Estrenar'.
23. Fingerspitzengefühl (German). Literally, 'fingertips feeling'; used to refer to situational awareness, and the ability to react appropriately to a given situation.
24. Tan-te (Mandarin). A sense of uneasiness and worry – as if you were hyper-aware of your own heart beating.
25. Tocayo (Spanish). Somebody who shares your first name is your 'tocayo'.
26. Gigil (Tagalog). That near-aggressive feeling you get when faced with something excruciatingly cute. Like you want to squeeze it until it pops. Basically, "It's so fluffy I'm gonna die."
27. Duende (Spanish). Literally translates as 'goblin', but actually refers to the heightened stage of emotion and passion connected with performance, most commonly with Flamenco, but applicable to other art forms.
28. Gezellig (Dutch). This word encompasses a number of meanings which refer to something the Dutch hold close to their heart. It is used to mean a sense of cosiness, friendliness, and comfort. Like sitting in your living room with good friends, sipping tasty wine and having fun together – that's 'gezellig'.
29. Forelsket (Norwegian). The euphoria that accompanies the early stages of falling in love.
30. Iktsuarpok (Inuit). The feeling of anxious anticipation that leads you to keep looking outside to see if anyone has arrived.
31. Sobremesa (Spanish). That period of time after you've finished lunch or dinner, where you just sit and talk with the people you've just shared your meal with.
32. Dépaysement (French). The feeling of displacement that comes with not being in one's home country.
33. Cafuné (Brazilian Portuguese). The act of running ones fingers tenderly though somebody's hair.
34. Kummerspeck (German). Literally, 'sorrow/grief bacon', it refers to the weight you might gain from comfort-eating when you are feeling sad.
35. La douleur exquise (French). Literally 'the exquisite agony', this is used to refer to the pain of unrequited love.
36. Empalagarse (Spanish). Being overcome by sweetness to the point of nausea – so much that you find yourself needing to drink water or eat something salty to take away the sweetness.
37. Oodal (Tamil). That exaggerated, melodramatic anger that follows lovers' spats; sulking and throwing a strop in an attempt to get them to apologise.
38. Jayus (Indonesian). A joke so badly told and so unfunny, that you can't help but laugh at it.
39. Naz (Urdu). The pride or confidence derived from knowing that somebody holds you as the object of their affection and desire.
40. Prozvonit (Czech). The act of calling a mobile phone and only letting it ring once so the other person will call you back, thus saving you money.

Links! Valentine's Day! Burlesque! Food! Tube Strike! Girls!
Friday, February 7th, 2014- Do you loathe Valentine's Day? Does the thought of marshmallows and hearts make you roll your eyes so far back into your head you can see your brain? Have a look at my post on the Bookatable blog, with the top 5 Valentine's Day excuses.
- I love this photo project: transformations of burlesque performers.
- And if you're in London, you HAVE to go catch a film at the Prince Charles Cinema. It's only the best cinema in the city.
- Time Out have an article this week on the best places in London to tuck everyone's new favourite cuisine – Korean. Nothing hits the spot quite like a dol sot bi bim bap.
- Meanwhile, London was paralysed for two days this week by a city-wide Tube strike. But do you know why it happened?
- This article is a must-read. A lot has been said about Terry Richardson's allegedly inappropriate behaviour on photoshoots. Makes me wonder why nobody has stepped in to do anything about it yet.
- These University 'spotted' pages on Facebook make it quite starkly clear that girls and women are still by and large seen as objects. Still think the world doesn't need feminism any more?
- The excellent Laurie Penny nails it once again with an article on why 'Girls' doesn't represent every woman, and why it shouldn't have to.
- Have you seen Benedict Cumberbatch on Sesame Street yet?

Links! Creativity! Fanfic! Books! Writing!
Friday, January 17th, 2014- "Don't make stuff because you want to make money — it will never make you enough money. And don't make stuff because you want to get famous — because you will never feel famous enough. Make gifts for people — and work hard on making those gifts in the hope that those people will notice and like the gifts." – Watch all of John Green's advice on writing and creating, here.
- We've just had season 3 of Sherlock; could we be getting season 4 sooner than expected?
- Speaking of Sherlock (constantly): "Fan fiction is where modern storytelling enters the realm of myth and folktale, where characters take on a life beyond the control of their authors, where they are let loose in communities with their own ideas about how to tell a story. More and more writers are coming out of those communities… publishing their own original books, sometimes to great critical acclaim."
- Have I ever mentioned how much I adore Waterstones? No? I do; they're brilliant, and this List of Buzzfeed Books You Have To Read Before You Die is exactly why.
- I love Chuck Wendig's posts on writing because he drives the point home in an entertaining, uncondescending way. These articles about writing characters and character development are a must-read for aspiring writers.
- "Words. They are tiny, precise, they are substantial. They can be written, or said, and they are to be handled with care. Their impact has no limits. They can mean a thousand little things." – What being a writer feels like.
- I love this sort of stuff: interactive map showing how words change as we travel across Europe.
- Ever wished you could work as a celebrity's PA? Here's what that's like.

Links! Women! Interconnectedness! Fine dining! Beauty!
Friday, January 10th, 2014
- 2013 was a pretty eventful year for women: from Malala making a full recovery and addressing the UN, securing her as a strong role model for young women everywhere, to the No More Page 3 campaign taking off, the Everyday Sexism project going viral, and terrible people on Twitter making death threats which helped illustrate how alive sexism really is. Here are the best moments for women in 2013.
- A gorgeous short video by Joe Hanson, animating Richard Feynman's thoughts on the universe and the interconnectedness of all things. – "A poet once said, "The whole universe is in a glass of wine." We will probably never know in what sense he said that, for poets do not write to be understood. But it is true that if we look in glass of wine closely enough we see the entire universe."
- As you may or may not know, I write a foodie blog for Bookatable, and here is my latest piece on the Top 10 Fine Dining Restaurants in London. I HAVE to go try Dinner by Heston one of these days!
- Lovely, lovely post by the inimitable Chuck Wendig, on happiness.
- Has BBC's Sherlock jumped the shark with Season 3? This well-written article explains why it hasn't.
- If you're afraid of clowns, you might be interesting in learning about the history and psychology behind that fear. You may also want to scroll past the first image…
- Channel 4 doctored a whole lot of footage in order to make some people living on benefits (for valid reason) seem like a whole bunch of scroungers. Now, these people are receiving death threats; Britain has learnt nothing.
- And, on the subject of threats, if you think that rape threats (which are, unfortunately, the internet's go-to way of shutting up women who dare to have an opinion) are not a serious matter, then you are a moron.
- Onward to the final final frontier: the human brain. Let's talk about what optical illusions tell us about ourselves.
- Lizzie Velasquez, born with a rare disease which affects her appearance, and once called 'The ugliest woman in the world' by a flock of far uglier internet trolls, gave a speech about beauty and what defines us. This is an absolute must-watch.

Let's go a little bit further with our exaggerated walk. Now at this point, I've just exaggerated that first pose, which is the contact position. So I have done that at frames 1 and 13, and then I've kind of mirrored that on frame 25. So this is what we have so far. It looks good, but we can even go a lot further. Now, the next pose we're going to work with is the passing position. Again, we're going to go through this pretty much how we go through the walk, which is, we're going to block out the contact positions, then the passing positions, and then the ones in between those.
So in this case, this is a 12-frame-per-step walk, which means I'm going to go halfway through the first step to frame 7, which is 1+6, or half of 12, and we're going got take a look at this passing position. There's really no line of action to this particular pose, so let's give it some more strength. So I am going to start with the hips, which is usually where we start, and I'm going to move him up. And in this case, this walk is almost always happening ahead of the feet, so I want to move those hips ahead of the feet a little bit.
And I am pushing this up almost far enough, so where that heel lifts off the ground. So I really want to bring him up high. I want to exaggerate that passing position by popping him up, so I am also going to go ahead and rotate that heel, just so that that leg bends naturally; otherwise, it's going to kind of go backwards there. So I just want to give a little, slight forward bend to that leg. And now let's see what we've got. Yeah, he's got a nice pose. Look at that. He's got a nice strong walk. We can make that even stronger by doing something with this foot.
Again, what we want is we want nice strong line of action that's almost vertical here, and this foot is really interfering with that. So what we can do is we can take this foot and rotate it so that it's almost the same angle as that leg and then move it up right around the knee so that it's almost the same angle as that leg, which accentuates that verticalness of this walk.
So when we do that, see how it gives a much more pop. It just pops him up, and then he comes down. I am not going to worry so much about the in-betweens at this point. Let's just go ahead and mirror this on the other side. So let's go ahead and repeat the steps. And I'm not going to try and get this exact, but let's just go ahead through this, to the point where that heel lifts off the ground. Then I'm going to rotate the heel, so that the leg follows a natural bend. Again, what I am looking for here is this nice natural bend.
And then I'm going to take this foot and rotate it so that it almost matches the angle of the leg, and then position that so that that ankle is right around the same place as the knee. So once I have done that, the walk will be stronger, so let's take a look at this. Yeah, he is popping up a little bit more. So now, by adding one more strong pose, we've given the walk even a little bit more exaggeration. So let's go ahead and go through the next pose in the next lesson.

Hillary Clinton drawing heat over comment on finances(NEWSCHANNEL 3) - Hillary Clinton is taking heat for a comment she made during an interview with ABC News.Clinton complained about not having money when her family left the White House."We came out of the White House not only dead broke, but in debt. We had no money when we got there and we struggled to piece together the resources for mortgages for houses, for Chelsea's education," said Clinton. Clinton's opponents immediately jumped on the fact that Clinton said "houses" plural.America Rising the leading anti-Hillary Super Pac tweeted pictures of the Clintons two multi-million dollar homes and their Hamptons vacation rental. However, 55-percent of Americans believe Clinton understands their problems, according to a new ABC News Washington Post poll.

Duke back on track, routs TerpsTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS | January 27,2013DURHAM, N.C. Freshman Rasheed Sulaimon scored a season-high 25 points and No. 1 Duke bounced back from one of its worst losses under Mike Krzyzewski by routing Maryland 84-64 on Saturday.
Mason Plumlee added 19 points and Seth Curry had 13 for the Blue Devils (17-2, 4-2 Atlantic Coast Conference).
They had just four turnovers while shooting 52 percent against a Maryland defense that hadnt allowed any team to shoot better than 44 percent.
Plumlee finished 9 of 12 while Sulaimon was 9 of 13 with six 3-pointers twice as many as his previous high, and four in a 3-minute span of the first half.
Dez Wells and Charles Mitchell both had 13 points for the Terrapins (15-5, 3-4). They have lost four of six and were denied their first victory at Cameron Indoor Stadium since 2007 and first win over a No. 1 team since 08.
Leading scorer Alex Len, who averages 13.5 points, finished with eight points and 10 rebounds for Maryland. But aside from an early reverse dunk over Plumlee that looked effortless, he was essentially a nonfactor against a Duke front line that was without injured 6-foot-11 forward Ryan Kelly for the fourth straight game.
The tough job of replacing him fell to high-energy freshman Amile Jefferson, who responded in his second straight start with 11 points and nine rebounds while blocking four shots and affecting several others.
His layup with 9:23 left gave the Blue Devils their largest lead to that point at 66-53. That came during the late 19-8 run that put Duke in complete control.
Logan Aronhalt pulled Maryland within single digits for the final time when his 3-pointer with 13 minutes left made it 58-49. Sulaimon countered with his sixth 3 to start the run, and Quinn Cook capped it with a jumper that put the Blue Devils up 20 for the first time, 77-57 with 4:39 left.
Cook finished with 11 points for Duke, which was coming off its most lopsided regular-season loss since 1984, a 90-63 beatdown at No. 25 Miami that will assuredly send the Blue Devils tumbling from No. 1.
The only thing resembling a bright spot in that complete clunker might have been Sulaimon, who led them in scoring for the first time with 16 points while taking another step out of a midseason slump in which he was 7 of 32 during a rough four-game stretch.
The Terrapins hadnt allowed a conference opponent to shoot better than 38 percent this season. They would have kept that going had Sulaimon not turned this one into his personal shootaround.
He hit four straight 3-pointers and scored 13 points during a 15-5 run that gave Duke its first bit of breathing room. That burst included a four-point play and a deep 3 in transition that had coach Mark Turgeon calling time out to cool him off and drew Holy `Sheed chants from the Cameron Crazies.
His fifth 3 gave the Blue Devils their first double-figure lead, 32-22, with 6½ minutes before halftime.MORE IN Wire SportsCHARLOTTE, N.C. Full StoryNASHVILLE, Tenn. Full StoryPHOENIX Darrelle Revis long reigned supreme among NFL cornerbacks. Full Story -

A Burnsville woman has been charged with multiple counts of manslaughter in connection to the death of her 4-year-old son last June.
According to the Dakota County Attorney's Office, the charges against 24-year-old Sha'reese Monique Miller are directly related to the indictment of 26-year-old William Alphonso Warr for the child's murder on Jan. 17.
According to the Hennepin County Medical Examiner, Key'ontay Miller Peterson's death was ruled as a homicide, resulting from complications caused by blunt force injuries to his abdomen and chest.
The Medical Examiner also says the victim had multiple bruises on his head, face, arms, chest and back and also had eight broken ribs, breaks which occurred on at least two different occasions.
Authorities say Warr had an ongoing relationship with Miller, despite an order for protection prohibiting Warr from having contact with her, the victim and his 2-year-old brother. The two have a daughter together, according to the criminal complaint.
Miller made her first court appearance Monday. Bail was set in the amount of $100,000 with no conditions or $50,000 with conditions. Miller's next court appearance in connection with these charges will be on Feb. 24 at 1:30 p.m. in Hastings.

Retro Game of the Week: Final Fantasy VII
In the 90′s and early 2000′s, Squaresoft, now known as Square Enix, was undoubtedly the king of RPGs (Role Playing Games for my non-nerds). Squaresoft consistently released classics such as Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy III, and Secret of Mana. When gaming consoles evolved from the 16-bit era to the 32-bit age, game developers had a variety of new tools at their disposal to create a more immersive gaming experience. Squaresoft utilized these tools and created one of the greatest games ever made and this week's Retro Game Of The Week: Final Fantasy VII.
Final Fantasy VII was a giant leap forward for the Final Fantasy series and the RPG genre as a whole. It featured cutting edge graphics at the time, and its pre-rendered cutscenes set a new standard for the way video games told their story to the player. You didn't just play Final Fantasy VII, you experienced it. I cannot think of another game that had a more impressive level of character development. From the mysterious protagonist Cloud to the incredibly awesome villain Sephiroth, every character in Final Fantasy VII had profound depth.
The story, graphics, soundtrack, and gameplay in Final Fantasy VII were all top notch. FFVII's only weakness is the fact that it set the bar so high that future incarnations of the Final Fantasy series have been unable to surpass it so far.
Last Word: If you've never played Final Fantasy VII, you're missing out on one of the greatest video game experiences of all time.
Retro Game of the Week: Sonic The Hedgehog 2
Usually the original is the best and most innovative in a particular series of games, but the first sequel in Sega's acclaimed Sonic The Hedgehog series was an exception to this rule.
Sonic 2 made some great improvements over the first Sonic The Hedgehog. First was the addition of Sonic's sidekick "Tails". Although Tails really didn't do much, it was cool knowing Sonic wasn't alone in his quest to stop Dr. Robotnik's madness. Perhaps the best new feature in Sonic 2′s gameplay was the ability to transform into "Super Sonic". Once Sonic collected all 7 chaos emeralds, he transformed into an invincible gold-tinted flying killing machine.
Along with the mentioned gameplay enhancements, sonic 2 had fantastic level design and an equally great soundtrack. From Emerald Hill Zone all the way to Death Egg Zone, Sonic 2 delivered an exciting set of levels for Sonic to romp through.
Ahh, the memories… I remember crying the first tears of joy in my life after beating Wing Fortress Zone. At that moment I had thought I finally beat my first video game, only to find out I had to face off with Robotnik one more time in the Death Egg…

one thing about the closet/you don't have to hurry/it will be bad tomorrow/so brother, don't you worry
I think my moustache does....
They do, but it depends. Younger dudes with stupid mustaches are weird.
After reading this the responses in this thread, I think I'll grow back my mustache to keep out the riff-raff.
You know you need to stop......As much as you talk about wanting a Man and searching High & Low for a Man... As tired as you seem to be refereeing most of your Friends and their relationships..Are you saying if an attractive Man came into your life his Mustache would be a deal-breaker?...Fat chance of that...
Keep in mind now you're the one that said it's RARE to see a Man under the age of 50 with a stache. It's also rare for a Man under the age of 50 to be single but you are...
You've got 2 options before you reach 50....Think about Growing some Facial hair to change your look or give Men with stache's a 2nd glance....
I don't think I've ever seen a young man sporting a mustache (w/o a beard) in real life so I get where Beachguyj is coming from.
Anyway, facial hair helps baby-faced guys look more mature, and it balances out the prettiness of pretty boys if they want to look more rugged. But obviously not all guys can grow great facial hair so, in that case, it's better to avoid it and go with the clean-shaven look. Beats having an unattractive, thin or patchy beard, imo.
I hate going on the prowl without a minimum of stubble above my lip. Think I am way hotter with it. Also, I've gotta thing for men with stubble, beards and mustaches. It feels great everywhere and anywhere
I haven't found a picture of him without the soul patch or any other facial hair but I assure you he looks equally hot
By the way after this thread I've decided to give mustache a try
Last edited by geloge; December 5th, 2012 at 06:12 PM.
^Another kicking English grammar post
I did have a mustache until recently. I think that I looked very good with the mustache in the 1970's and 1980's. Recently I saw someome comment on this site about a man with a mustache looking so '70's and I looked at mine and decided they were right plus it is grey now instead of dark, so I shaved it off. It depends on the man and on the mustache. And no, I would never get a mustache inplant.
Sometimes, but it depends on the guy....
Facial and body hair are a real turn off for me. I prefer the younger and clearner look.

Love the mustache/goatee combo. So sexy. I have the nicely trimmed "Johnny Depp" look myself.
David Axelrod had his mustache shaved off live on Todat show
Yes, I enjoy the look and feel of facial hair immensely. A mustache alone is cool, so is a goatee, so is a beard. The goatee is very sexual to me, like I imagine it rubbing against my shaved asshole as the guy eats me out, then me kissing and licking it as he is deep inside me, or me him. A mustache or beard does not quite have that association.
When I cuddle with my guy I like to rub and play with his goatee and lambchops (he does not grow a full beard much). Really necessary for me. Other times I will be walking past him in the apartment and need to take a sec to rub my fingers along the hair from his jaw to his mouth or chin and tell him how goddamn sexy he is.
It is also nice to have the facial hair rubbed against my ear or neck as he is kissing me from behind. And to touch it while I am kissing him from the front, too.

Republic Airways Holdings will begin meeting prospective buyers of its low-cost subsidiary Frontier Airlines this month, and aims to decide on a sale in early 2013.
Republic's chief executive Bryan Bedford says in an earnings call today that the company has made "significant progress" in its effort to spin off Frontier, and is "cautiously optimistic" that it will resolve the Frontier sale early next year.
In the scenario of an industry event that could affect the sale, Republic will embark on an initial public offering (IPO) for Frontier, an option that it previously said it was considering, says Bedford.
Frontier is in the process of becoming an ultra low-cost carrier, like Allegiant Air and Spirit Airlines.
Bedford says the carrier's results in the third quarter show that it is turning in the right direction. Frontier posted pre-tax income of $29.8 million in the third quarter, turning from a pre-tax loss of $1.5 million in the corresponding quarter a year ago. Its operating unit cost excluding fuel fell 3.1% in the quarter to 6.86 cents.
Frontier's ancillary revenue grew 20% year-on-year in the third quarter, a result which Frontier's vice president of network and revenue Greg Aretakis says the airline is pleased with. In June, Frontier completed a project to add six seats to each of its Airbus A320s, taking the total number of seats on board to 168.

A Chicago judge has ruled that a father can take his 3-year-old daughter to church despite his estranged-wife's objections.
Joseph Reyes is Catholic and his wife, Rebecca, is Jewish. The two are seeking a divorce.
The mother sued for an injunction after Reyes sent pictures of his daughter's baptism at a local Catholic church.
In February, a family court ruled that Reyes couldn't expose his daughter to any faith apart from Judaism. But this week, a judge said exposure to church is not harmful and the father can take her if he chooses.
Reyes could still face trial for allegedly defying the original injunction.

My tour today is to an area called La Restinga which is a National Park.
115,000 acres of natural canals with a canopy of mangroves trees. A forest on water that is a haven for pelicans, white herons, cormorants, hawks and white Ibis.

The former Planned Parenthood director who quit after seeing an abortion procedure can continue to speak out about why she left the group, a Texas judge ruled.
Planned Parenthood officials accused Abby Johnson of copying documents before she resigned as head of their Bryan/College Station clinic and wanted an injunction to prevent her from sharing what they called confidential information about the business and their patients.
Johnson held that the allegations against her were false, and that she left Planned Parenthood "on good terms."
"Planned Parenthood even called me and offered me my job back with more money, but this was not about money or me being angry, it was about my change of heart on abortion," she said.
District Judge J.D. Langley made his decision after nearly two hours of testimony, saying Planned Parenthood lawyers did not offer convincing reasons "to warrant the extreme remedy of injunctive relief."
Pro-life groups are relieved by the ruling, which also lifted concerns about free speech.
"I am gratified that Planned Parenthood has failed in its misguided effort to silence its former clinic director... who experienced a spiritual conversion after witnessing an abortion and is now pro-life," David Bereit of 40 Days for Life said in a statement.
Johnson quit her job and joined the pro-life movement Oct. 6.

A$AP Ferg Enlists Shabba Ranks, Busta Rhymes and Migos for 'Shabba' Remix
A$AP Ferg's dancehall-meets-trap music banger 'Shabba' became a head-nodding street anthem over the summer. Now the Harlem rhymer brings the remix for the infectious track featuring the dancehall legend himself, Shabba Ranks. Plus, rappers Busta Rhymes and Migos join in to make the cipher complete.

(Asked on "Perennials" forum, but this should be a good question for regional forum also)
I am looking for recommendations on mildew (and other disease) resistant monarda cultivars. I grew three varieties starting last summer: "Mahagony", "Bluestocking", and the species M. fistulosa. Mahagony succumbed to root rot or some related blight. Bluestocking came up but is heavily mildewed and the flowers don't look too attractive (because of poor plant health). M. fistulosa (species) did the best, and flowered heavily, but has required extensive staking because of the tendency of the tall, thin stems to flop over. I think my soil is average, medium to moist silt loam, and the location gets partial sun (maybe 4 hours per day). |

Try moving it to a sunnier area. Monarda wants as much sun as possible and this might strengthen the stems. Larry |
"Try moving it to a sunnier area" - hmmph, give me more land, or move the neighbor's townhouse further away! Maybe I should plant the white-flowered Monarda clinopodia, which I believe is the only Monarda species whose natural habitat is "open woodland" / light shade. If I try another cultivar, I will make sure that it is described as maximum height 3 feet or under, as well as mildew-resistant. Actually, I found that some normally tall perennials "flop" so badly in shady areas that the stems just trail along the ground. I have removed some plants for this reason. My garden has gotten noticeably shadier in the last four years as the trees have grown (almost completely surrounded by townhouses + trees). |
Pour the water from rinsing milk cartons/jugs over the mildewy plants. Next year start sooner. It really will help! Or mix 1/2 cup any milk product per gallon of water and spray. |
"Pour the water from rinsing milk cartons/jugs over the mildewy plants." But won't that attract cats to the garden? (Just kidding) |
'Jacob Cline' is a known mildew resistant cultivar, and I had excellent results with it a few years ago. (I eventually removed it to make room for other plants.) |
Thanks for your suggestions. I plan to keep the M. fistulosa, remove the Bluestocking, and plant a red, hopefully mildew resistant variety such as Jacob Kline, Gardenview Scarlet, or Raspberry Wine. I would like to attract hummingbirds, which I know are in the area but don't see often, and red Monardas are supposed to be among the best hummingbird flowers. I will also prune them to maintain at a shorter and steadier height. |
I have Bluestocking, and it doesn't powdery-mildew until September. And everything else powdery-mildews in September anyway in my garden. It's growing in full sun, though. |

CAIRO (AP) — The Egyptian military called Wednesday for an end to more than a week of demonstrations demanding President Hosni Mubarak step down immediately after nearly 30 years in power.
Mubarak's embattled regime and the powerful military appeared to be making a unified push to end a street movement to drive out the 82-year-old leader.
The declaration was a clear shift in the stand of the army, which gave a tacit endorsement to the movement on Monday by saying it would not use force against protesters, and that they had legitimate demands.
The emboldened protesters brought more than 250,000 people into Cairo's main square Tuesday to demand Mubarak leave within days. The president responded with a defiant statement pledging to finish out his term and serve seven more months in office.
The army's message to the demonstrators Wednesday had a conciliatory tone, appealing to young protesters to stand down "out of love for Egypt."
"You have started coming out to express your demands and you are the ones capable of returning normal life to Egypt," military spokesman Ismail Etman said in an address on state television. "Your message has arrived, your demands have become known."
Immediately after his statement, state television ran a scrolling message reading: "The armed forces call on the protesters to go home for the sake of bringing back stability."
Internet service also began returning to Egypt after days of an unprecedented cutoff by the government, and state TV said authorities were easing a nighttime curfew, which now runs from 5 p.m. to 7 a.m. instead of 3 p.m. to 8 a.m.
Several thousand pro-Mubarak demonstrators were rallying in support of him in Cairo.
The movement against Mubarak is fueled by deep frustration with an autocratic regime blamed for ignoring the needs of the poor and allowing corruption and official abuse to run rampant.
After years of tight state control, protesters emboldened by unrest in Tunisia took to the streets on Jan. 25 and mounted a once-unimaginable series of protests across this nation of 80 million.
Mubarak address to the nation around 11 p.m. Tuesday said he would serve out the last months of his term and "die on Egyptian soil." He promised not to seek re-election, but that did not calm public fury as clashes erupted in at least one city between his opponents and supporters.
Michael Weissenstein and Diaa Hadid contributed to this report.

... in a long time. Anyways, I really like how it came out, which is a first in terms of my C4D work. All images are either mine or created from scratch in Cinema 4D. What do you guys think? Change colours, transparencies, reflectiveness...etc. Pretty much everything can be changed! I love C4D! ~<3
idk... Its awesome... Don't know what to say... On right side, the gloss on the border looks f'ed up...
I know what you mean with the gloss. I tried to make it look like the screen and the frame are not on the same level. Thank you Btw this is just a frame from a 90 frame animation that i am currently rendering. Total render time with an 8 core processor at 1920x1080 resolution and prioriity set to highest: 10 hours
Oh yeah, this rocks 8) The "popout" effect of the frame doesn' t really work though. Also I' d like to see the text with a higher saturation, maybe the c4d itself too..idk. And I think the DESIGN text should have the same kind of...bulge... as the the BUBBLEZ. Hard to explain but I mean that the DESIGN looks like it' s tilted to the left a little bit whereas the BUBBLEZ is just bulging out towards the viewer. Hope that' s somewhat understandable
yeah give me, say $25k and I'll make one for myself. but as you cans ee, even they have render times no less than 6 minutes per frame, and in my animation I the MAx render time per frame was 8:21 and min 3:02 minutes respectively! very interesting video though
I have attached for you the original software used in that render farm. If you have two computers (say a desktop and a laptop) then you have a render farm. Any type of computer can be a farm node. You can go around your house and turn every computer into a node. I myself have 2 desktops and 2 laptops which can be used as render farm nodes. Pretty cool business. Since they're simple scripts they can be modified to run with any cli rendering tools for any software. I bought the Sintel DVD and it had the render farm on one of the DVDs. I also pre-ordered their most recent movie Mango which I expect to have equally cool goodies on it. The power of a render farm comes into play when you divide and conquer. Let's say you have a 20 frame animation and you have a render farm of 4 computers clustered together. Each computer can take 1 frame to render simultaneously. So while the average rate of rendering a frame is 6 minutes like you say then a render farm of 4 nodes can render 4 frames at the same time. So a 20 frame job which would take 120 minutes on a single computer would take only 30 minutes on a 4 node cluster. That's why it's so useful. 20 frames * 6 min/frame = 120 minutes rendering. 20 frames / 4 nodes * 6 min/frame = 30 minutes rendering. This means if you rendered 20 frames with a 20 node cluster the whole render would only take 6 minutes as a best case scenario. For those who don't know, a node and a computer are interchangeable terms. A cluster is 2 or more nodes which work together to accomplish a common task.
no offense man it's simple math and i get why they are useful. But PCs dont just fall out of the sky, you need to buy them and right now i can think of better investments than a couple PCs. Plus, I am only doing the animations to apply for a college with. Once I am accepted I can use their render farms while I work there. If I don't get in, I'll have to look into a different job and understand that this may not be my thing after all. They accept 15 stduents/semester so wish me luck ;D
Good luck, I didn't take offense. For some people it's better to break it down into steps if they're new to such concepts. I took the approach that you knew nothing about the subject at all which is why it was so verbose. I usually make that assumption unless I know the person well.

Put my first batch in the carboy yesterday for fermenting. True Brew branded Nut Brown Ale. Checked on it after about 10 hours and it was bubbling away nicely but this morning it seems to have slowed. There is still bubbling in the airlock but not as much as last night. I assume thats probably normal but would like your oppinion? Btw, if i read the hydrometer correctly OG was 1.034 and has an potential ABV of 5.5%.. Does this sound about right for that brew? I know ideal temp for fermenting is 70, but would say 66-67 cause an issue? I have the carboy back in a spare bedroom, I keep the house at 69 in the winter but that room always feels slightly colder.
I've never seen that kit before, so I don't know if that OG is common or not. What do the instructions say it should be? As far as bubbling/not bubbling, that's really not a reliable indication of how the fermentation is going. If it started yesterday, it might ferment out in 24 hours, or it might take a week. Either way, it's fine so don't worry! As far as temperatures, when the yeast manufacturer suggests a fermentation temperature range, they are talking about the actual temperature of the fermenting beer, not room temperature. I like those "stick on" thermometers that go on the outside of the fermenter, and tell you the temperature of the liquid. Most yeast strains will say something like "optimal range 62-70 degrees". I almost always ferment my ales at about 62 degrees. A room temperature of 70 degrees is a bit high, since fermentation produces heat and it could be 8-10 degrees higher inside the fermenter, especially when fermentation is very vigorous. I'd recommend keeping it cooler if at all possible.
+1 on everything YooperBrew said. If you can get that ferment temp down a bit (since the actual beer is probably around 4 degrees more than the ambient temp) that will give you better beer in the end. Don't pay to much attention to the Potential ABV scale on your Hydrometer, that's assuming that your yeast will ferment out to 1.000, look at the instructions that came with your kit to get what the OG and FG should be. And I'd give your beer at least 3 weeks in the fermenter before checking your gravity, it gives the yeast time to clean up after themselves.
Thanks for the quick response. I can definitely get it a little cooler in that room by closing off the heat vent. That room is always the coolest in the house anyhow. I'll head out to walmart in a few and get an aquarium stick on thermometer, should be the same as the ones you get from brewshops right?
oops the instructions say OG should be 1.049-1.051.. I am pretty sure I read the hydrometer right at 1.034.. did I mess up? One thing we did differently is this kit called for boiling 1.5-2 gallons of wort, but I had heard that if you have the ability to boil more it's better. So we actually made 3.5 gallons of wort (wound up about 3 gallons after all the boiling). Sorry for the noob questions.
Sounds good, thanks! We did add the wort tot he 2 gallons of top off water and mix as best i could, and then poured from the carboy back into my test tube for the hydrometer reading. I stirred with a sanitized long handle spoon and shook the carboy but there is a very very good chance I didnt have it mixed well so that makes a lot of sense. Thanks
It'll mix as it ferments, no worries. Relax and let those yeast make beer! ;0)
One more question, Wyzazz you said 3 weeks in the fermenter. The instructions in the kit said to bottle after a week. We had planned on bottling after 2 weeks. Is there any advantage/disadvantage for bottling sooner or letting it sit. Might be nice to bottle this weekend so I can get the next batch started (1 week in the fermenter), but I don't mind waiting 2 or 3 weeks. Thanks!

He already can sue for fraud in the current system, if he's so motivated, and recover losses.
For that matter, fraud itself is a crime. Whether or not the federal/state authorities pursue fraud cases energetically enough is a legit beef, but a government issue not a market one. There are well-crafted, legally tested statutes defining commercial fraud and markets have been subject to them for decades, centuries in certain cases.
So what type of market provides novel, effective remedies beyond the above that you'd recommend as a replacement?

Re:Or maybe the young folks just hate meetings? (453 comments)
Pretty sure most of us geezers figured out the "life-draining waste of time" nature of most meetings long ago. Primary difference between the kiddies and us is that the young'uns aren't experienced enough yet to: a) be able to partition the useful ones from the non-useful at first glance, and b) learned the million creative ways of escaping the latter. And if they keep up with this taking the calls, texting and playing Candy Crush business, they ain't gonna last long enough to learn 'em in any moderately structured place of employment.
Back in the day, you had to actually be....thoughtful....to get out of a productivity-trap meeting. Nowadays, it's just easier to pull out the little hand-held whatever and mentally escape. Even if you're being immediately tagged as "lightweight", "rude", "arrogant", etc., by the annoying-but-still-in-charge-for-the-moment management.
Re:Missing Step 2 (201 comments)
You're absolutely right....except you're assuming there is an actual finding/admission of guilt.
The article speaks of a "settlement" being announced. To my eyes, the probability of that settlement including an admission of culpability approaches zero.
Infosys will not be blacklisted, they'll mind their manners and volume for a bit, then quietly pick up where they left off on the contract pile.
And....allowing for that tiny percentage sliver, what if they do admit guilt and are barred from government contracting for whatever period? They just slide the excess capacity over to the contractual pile of Walmart, Sears, etc.
As others have mentioned, $35MM, while not a drop in the bucket, is small enough to be absorbed as a carrying cost of doing business, given the revenue stream.
I hate the whole sordid "enterprise staffing" model that spawns this garbage and hope fervently never to work with it again.

One of the strengths of the 21st century reboot has been the consistently good fit of actors to the role. If the franchise did decide it was time for the Doctor to be performed by an actress...who would be the best candidates for the part?

Exactly. Y'all come back to me when you're programming a cell phone switch and then you can talk about low latency...
"If all historians save one say that the sky was green in 1888, our policies require that we write 'Most historians write that the sky was green, but one says the sky was blue.'
...the fact that no data could be recovered after the problem erupted at the beginning of October suggests that the outage and the inability to recover any backups were the result of intentional sabotage by a disgruntled employee. In any other circumstance, Microsoft or T-Mobile would likely have come forward with an explanation of the mitigating circumstances, blaming bad hardware, a power failure, or some freak accident. An act of sabotage "would explain why neither party is releasing any more details: for legal reasons dealing with the ongoing investigation to find the culprit(s)," one of the sources said. Due to the way Sidekick clients interact with the service, any normal failure should have resulted in only a brief outage until a replacement server could be brought up.
Lots of other interesting tidbits in the roundup as well, especially regarding the "dogfooding" ethos apparently prevalent at Microsoft."

Details: Madewell blouse and necklace; Zara jeans; J. Crew heels; Tarte LipSurgence in Flush.
Outfit Notes: I'm feeling really good about my outfit today. I decided to button this blouse all the way to the top and wear my necklace under the collar -- it's kind of conservative but punky at the same time? Also, we got a bunch of these new Tarte lip pencils in -- I LOVE the color I have on.
