Review: Why Men Are the Way They Are
User Review - Christian Scampoli - GoodreadsGreat ideas; the book was definitely ahead of its time. However, at this point it's so outdated that it is hard to relate to for someone of my generation (millennial). It gives me more insight into my parents generation than my own. I wish it could be rewritten for a modern audience! Read full review
Review: Why Men Are the Way They Are
User Review - Michael Hsu - GoodreadsI grew up thinking men don't talk about emotions and other �unmanly� topics so it was a pleasant surprise that I was most intrigued by this book. This book opened my eyes about men issues I have thought about but was too afraid to talk about it. Read full review

Michael Grade and Dawn Airey shared a public stage for the first time today since their huge falling out after Airey announced she was leaving ITV for Channel Five in May last year. Onlookers would never have known that the pair had barely spoken since their falling out as all was smiles at the Institute for Economic Affairs future of broadcasting conference. However, as soon as Grade and Airey's session was complete they both scooted in opposite directions. What with "partnerships" being the TV industry buzz word de jour, it can only be a matter of time before they are pals again. Or on speaking terms, at least.

Most sports-related head injuries, such as concussions — which temporarily interfere with the way the brain works — are mild and allow for complete recovery. However, concussion in children also can pose serious health risks, ranging from temporary memory lapses to fatal brain swelling. Also, concussion in children sometimes goes unrecognized, as symptoms may not be noticed right after the injury.
Head injuries take time to heal. Your child will need time to rest until his or her symptoms are completely gone, which usually takes several days. Your child should rest from both physical and thinking (cognitive) activities, as these can worsen symptoms.
After your child's head injury, your child risks other complications if he or she returns to sports and other activities before his or her concussion has healed. Another blow to the head while the initial concussion is healing can occasionally result in fatal brain swelling — a condition known as second impact syndrome. Also, a young athlete who sustains a concussion is at risk of developing postconcussion syndrome, which is characterized by persistent concussion symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, irritability and difficulty with thinking skills, such as memory and attention. These symptoms can be particularly confusing for a child, as well as his or her family and teachers, if the child doesn't realize he or she has had a concussion. Researchers continue to study other potential long-term effects of concussions. Once a child has sustained his or her first concussion, he or she is at a higher risk of sustaining another. The effects of multiple concussions over years can be cumulative.
To protect your child from head injuries, insist on appropriate and properly fitted protective equipment — such as a helmet — during sports and other activities. However, helmets and mouth guards don't protect against all concussions. Also, make sure your child knows that even a mild bump or blow to the head can cause a concussion, and that concussions don't always involve a loss of consciousness. Signs and symptoms of a concussion may include:
If you think your child has sustained a concussion, seek medical help immediately. Your child's doctor will determine how serious the concussion is and when it's safe for your child to return to sports, school or other activities.

Querying the Medieval: Texts and the History of Practices in South Asia
Publisher: Oxford University Press | 2000-06-08 | ISBN: 0195124308 | PDF | 248 pages | 15.82 MB
Indologist Ronald Inden has in the past raised questions about the images of a traditional" or medieval" India deployed by colonial scholars and rulers--Orientalists--and has also argued that a history of early medieval India very different from both the colonial and nationalist accounts could be written. This volume is designed as an important first step towards that goal. The authors look closely at three genres of texts that have been crucial to the representations of precolonial India. All three essays challenge not only colonialist scholarship but the attempts by religious nationalists to identify Hinduism as the essence of national identity in India and Buddhism as the essence of nationality in Sri Lanka.

We have been talking a little bit about the new Nokia Lumia 920, The Droid RAZR MAXX HD and the Droid Incredible X over the last month or so. Little pieces of information have been hitting the web regarding specs, design rumors and the like and today, we got to hear that all three of those handsets could end up at the Verizon Wireless network sometime in November. The first bit of information that arrived about the RAZR MAXX HD showed the device would be ending up on the network sometime in October, but it looks like customers are going to have to wait a little bit longer since that is not the case.
The Droid Incredible X is going to be one of the devices in direct competition with the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 once that finally hits the shelves. The Incredible X comes with many phablet type features including a huge 5-inch display. Looking around the internet, you will find leaked roadmaps for Verizon that include the Windows Phone 8 powered devices, Droid RAZR HD, Incredible X, a couple entry level Android handsets and even a couple powered by BlackBerry 10.
Because the information is considered a leaked document, the names, dates, etc are not considered official announcements from Verizon Wireless at this time. The Droid RAZR MAXX HD will be ready to ship in November and that device features a 4.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a 720×1280 resolution and a pixel density of 312ppi. One unique feature of the RAZR MAXX HD is the fact it is waterproof. On the inside of the handset you will find a dual-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz, an Adreno 225 graphics processor and 1GB of RAM. The back sports an 8MP camera that we are starting to see as a common feature on handsets today.
The Nokia Lumia 920 is one handset that is powered by Windows Phone 8, weighs less than 7 ounces and comes with a 4.5-inch IPS LCD display. The display is crisp and clear with a pixel density of 332ppi. Powering the Lumia 920 is a dual-core Snapdragon S4 Plus processor clocked at 1.5GHz, an Adreno graphics processor a 1GB of RAM. The Nokia features a camera that is a little different than most with 8.7MP, dual LED flash and an F2.0 lens for nice clear images. Official announcements are yet to be released on these devices.

Britney Spears Fell for David With Golf Game
Britney Spears fell for her new boyfriend when he taught her how to play golf.
The 'Piece of Me' hitmaker – who split from her fiancé Jason Trawick in January – is currently dating David 'Lucky' Lucado after being set up by her father Jamie Spears and the pair instantly clicked as he gave her a personal lesson in the putting sport.
David's friend Caroline Harrison told America's Star magazine: "They first met when Lucky gave her a golf lesson. They totally hit it off which I'm not surprised by, everyone loves him. He got her number and asked her on a date and the rest is history.
"He treats her like any other person and is really special. As corny as it sounds he really cares and is such a good person."
While Britney – who has sons Sean Preston, seven, and Jayden James, six, with her ex-husband Kevin Federline – is smitten with her new man, her father, who is co-conservator of her affairs, initially had him undergo a background check and sign a non-disclosure contract as a matter of precaution.
A source said recently: "Before David started spending time with Brit, he had to undergo a background check, and sign a confidentiality agreement, all arranged by Papa Spears. David had absolutely no problem with it, and completely understood why it was being done."

No red carpet event brings out more eclectic style from the stars than the MTV Movie Awards, and this year's show was no exception.

Bold colors stood out as one of the night's major trends, with some rocking it all over like Jones, and others adding just a pop of color.

Strong earthquake kills one in southern Iran |
TEHRAN – At least one person has been killed and 17 others injured in a strong earthquake that struck southern Iran on Saturday morning.
According to the Iranian Seismological Center, the quake measuring 6.2 on the Richter scale, hit Hormozgan province at 6:38 a.m. local time (0208 GMT) at a depth of 15 kilometers.
Head of Hormozgan Crisis Management Organization, Hossein Ranjbar, told the Mehr News Agency that the earthquake had damaged water and electricity networks in the area.
According to reports, a number of villages have been damaged to a large extent in the quake-stricken area.
Rescue teams have been dispatched to the affected area.
Iran is one of the most seismically active countries in the world, being crossed by several major fault lines, and is prone to earthquakes.
A 6.1 magnitude quake hit some 90 kilometers away from Iran's sole nuclear power plant, located in the southwestern port city of Bushehr, on April 9. It killed 37 people and injured 950 others but left the nuclear facility undamaged.
In one of the deadliest quakes, about 26,000 people were killed by a 6.6-magnitude earthquake that flattened the southeastern city of Bam in December 2003.

Of the seven-member cast, we only see two, and one of those very briefly. Sandra Bullock, as medical engineer Ryan Stone, controls the point of view. Stones a rookie astronaut, a physicist on a mission to repair and enhance the Hubble Space Telescope. At the opening, in a magnificent, apparently continuous 13 minute shot, shes trying to fix a non-responsive part and battling nausea. Trying to calm her down, veteran space jockey and fix-it man Lt. Matt Kowalski (George Clooney, in a rare supporting role) tries to calm her down with jokes, country music, and a generally no-sweat demeanor.
But the situation rapidly deteriorates. Houston (in the voice of Ed Harris) alerts them that a Russian satellite has broken up and the debris is headed for them. Before they can get inside the shuttle, all hell breaks loose and so do they, drifting away into space. Matts control of the jet pack and his own nerves saves Ryan for the moment, but the shuttle has been rendered useless. Their only hope is to shoot for the nearby International Space Station. (Purists may carp that these two are in different orbits, but hey, its a movie!) Still, that only gets them part of the way home, and other problems ensue.
In fact, ensuing difficulty is basically the plot of the film, Cuaron continually ratcheting up the tension. A viewer might not become completely involved or suspend disbelief: the tech wizards steal the show over and over, forcing one to ask, How did they do that?! Readers of this column yes, thats both of you! may recall that I dont have much use for 3D movies: the last one I saw was Avatar, in 2009. However, Cuaron uses the (literal) in your face technique superbly, for events large a mass of debris hurtling through space and small a single teardrop floating, reflecting the face of the person crying. If these moments detract from the suspension of disbelief, well, maybe its worth it.
The sound design is also noteworthy: Glenn and Danny Freemantles adroit mix of silence, music, and disembodied voices adds immeasurably to the visible actions effect. And what effects they are, from the opening shots of the Big Blue Marble miles below the characters to the final moments looking back up at the blue sky.
Gravity is rated Pg-13 for language, violence, and intense perilous sequences. Its one of the most creatively imagined space movies, since Stanley Kubricks 2001, some 45 years ago. Bullocks multi-layered performance glasses over some unnecessary plot points, as does Cuarons economical pacing, a rarity among big buck epics. This one has to be seen on the big screen to be appreciated: dont miss it.

Terry McGinnis. He defeated Joker by mocking him.
Design - Black Spider - not the New 52 look for sure more on the YJ appearances (those two are the only appearances I know them off)
Popularity - Batman - both are basically the poster boys for their respective publishers
Character - Static - Both very intelligent wise cracking guys what else can you say.
Black Spider in abilities, but I think Terry McGinnis is pretty close to Peter Parker's back story. Terry and Peter both blame themselves for their father figure's deaths since they weren't there to protect them from the people who killed them and they both seek to find the killer who did it.
Nightwing, Staitc Shock, Black Spider and Batman.
Popularity wise- Batman
Personality wise- Static
Also, OP, it's "Spider-Man" not "Spiderman" respect the hyphen, RESPECT IT!

Black Spider.
@clemj said:
black spider
This he pretty much was a straight up rip-off of Spider-man only thing is he's a villain. Sort of like how Marvel has Beetle as a Villain but DC has him as a Hero.
@The_Tree said:
Sales and villains wise, I'd say Batman.
Personality wise, I'd say Dick Grayson.
I don't think I could have said it better than this.
personality wise i would say dick grayson,and then static.
Ability wise-dick grayson,he moves just like him,can fight like him,has gadgets like he does,only thing is he needs more of a strength feat,maybe with a suit.
OR maybe blue beetle personality wise
those are my 3 options,dick grayson more in abilites AND personality,static in personality,and last is jaime in personality and being based off a bug.
OR black spider,agile,fights crime,uses gadgets including web based ones.
But i mean dick is the closest option,i mean,he copies his enemies,he's fun and awesome,the most athletic person on that earth and can dodge machine gun fire in his sleep AND take out the guns with a gadget,has some strength feats that are great AND can be enhanced bu his suit (new 52),so most likely him,and he jokes around and such,so richard it is,AND he takes command at times when needed,but he is a better fighter and can jump circles around anyone in dc who tries to hit him and tire them out and do flips around them,but my secondary option is static.
For endurance for dick grayson i would have to say that he is extremely acrobatic having done flips around saiko despite being weakened from falling down a multiple storied building,something that i know spiderman does.AND he does have amazing strength feats,and if his suit just increases his strength,then he will be at near spiderman levels in some superhuman aspects for a human).Well most likely it is dick,most likely.
Strength-as a regular person,he is not special and nothing to spider-man,but in the new 52,seeing as batman has his strength increased to what,25,000 pounds and above because of his suit (kinda like owlman from JL:cote,but stronger than that).WELL i think dick grayson,epecially based on some scans in the new 52 shows that his suit does increase his strength,by like what,15000 lbs at most.AND that increases his jumps and there is scans for his increased jumps and increased speed,he should be able to outrun a car and i saw scans supporting all of these.
But SECONDARY,i say static,if its not dick,then it is static shock.Mocks his enemies as well,so yeah,static.
I'd say either Kyle Rayner, Static, or Dick Grayson. Spidey's pretty unique.
Ted Kord
He was a character that really didn't get sprung to much prominence until he was "dead." However, it seemed like as soon as he was removed everybody started recognize the potential he had.
Jamie is awesome, don't get me wrong. I like the design, I like the powerset and the back story. I think Jamie Reyes is the Tech Jack/Invincible of the DCU and I dig the type of character.
However, Ted Kord is a completely different type of character and awesome in his own right. Ted is what Peter Parker would become without the super powers. I hope someday TPTB realize that and bring him back.
Firestorm. A high school student is caught in an accident involving radiation that bestows super powers upon him. He adopts a costumed identity, and finds himself in conflict with an array of colorful foes, set against the backdrop of New York City. His supporting cast is drawn both from his family life, and his school life. He has an alliterative name, as well as an adversarial rival in High School. The hero makes witty quips while in battle with his rogue's gallery. The power set may be completely different, but the majority of the core elements went into Firestorm's makeup. Firestorm's creator, Gerry Conway, spent three years writing the Amazing Spider-Man, for Marvel Comics, prior to coming back to DC. Firestorm clearly cribs a lot from Spider-Man, and, at the time, was probably the most Marvel of all of DC's characters.
If, on the other hand, you're just looking for the character who's power set and theme most mirror's Spider-Man, that would be Jonathan Law, The Tarantula. He was a 1940's mystery men who could cling to walls, and incapacitated his enemies with a web gun.
Definitely, Static or Dick Grayson in terms of personality.

The Windows Phone OS is getting some major updates. Known as "Mango" the new Windows Phone OS release will add multi-tasking, turn-by-turn navigation, Bing music identifier, SMS dictation and "more."
There will be a preview for media on May 24, when Microsoft will give a rundown of the new features. Microsoft rushed to release the Windows Phone 7 Series last year, and one of the results was a lack of compatibility with Windows Mobile applications. The phone's features were behind Apple and Google, and with "Mango" Microsoft hopes to catch up.
Some of the Mango features include Bing Audio, which allows you to search for music that you hear, and provides you with links to download it in the Windows Marketplace for Mobile. Bing Vision will have a barcode and QR code scanner that can pick up Microsoft Tags and detect CDs, DVDs, books and texts using optical character recognition. Turn-by-turn navigation with Bing maps will let you use your Windows Phone as full navigation device. Another new feature will be SMS Dictation, where your Windows Phone will read your messages to you. We'll keep you updated on the unveiling of the Mango.
Windows Mango ( aka Windows "Mangle" ?? )
Will it include:
1 ) auto-rotate of the home screen?
2 ) support for micro sd cards?
3 ) updating for Windows "myphone" website, permitting increased storage for photos?
4 ) support for integrated modem wi-fi routers ?
5 ) can Stevie B recover from his sclerotic, last-gen mentality? Time will tell, but I doubt it, as it seems Microsoft is institutionally paralyzed ……

The state Department of Transportation has extended the public comment period on plans for high-speed rail service between New York City and Upstate New York.
The comment period was originally supposed to end Monday. Officials have received about 250 comments and held six public hearings across the state that attracted more than 500 people.
Transportation Commissioner Joan McDonald says comments will be accepted through April 30.
The state's draft environmental impact statement lays out five alternatives for higher speed passenger rail service along the 463-mile Empire Corridor, from New York City to Niagara Falls.
Comments may be submitted through the DOT's website or emailed to empirecorridordot.ny.gov.

A Pure Surf Experience – PurelineSurf Coaching Part 1
When you think of learning how to surf, you think of a surf school. After your learn the basics and are in the line up by yourself at your home break you still have a lot to learn. Take it from me.
I was introduced to Alex from Pureline Surf Coaching. I had never heard of surf coach. I knew about tennis/golf coaches and personal trainers, but not a surf coach. Now I'm intrigued. The progression program that Alex has developed is for the intermediate and advanced surfer that is beyond the group surf school experience. Your surfing will be taken to the next level with his one on one coaching; perform customized drills, video analysis and surf theory. Alex, originally from the UK, has 11 years experience as a surf coach, is a lifeguard, BSA and ASI certified and surfed and taught all over the world in spots like Morocco, Nicaragua, Hawaii, The States and Europe.
Pureline Surf Coaching is based in Nosara, Costa Rica. Located in the Guanacaste Peninsula on the Pacific Coast. The program he offers IS very customizable. You can book one 2 hour session, full day or sign up for the 5, 7 or 14 day intensive surf courses. You will be picked up by Alex at your hotel and head down to the best break for you that day depending on the swell and your ability. You can use your own board or Alex will set you up one of his boards anywhere from a 6'0 fish to a 9'2 longboard.
Leave the rest up to your coach. He will work on perfecting you bottom turns, cutback or help you get barreled.
He also can be your surf guide to take you to the many different beach breaks and reef breaks Nosara and Costa Rica have of offer.
I'm heading down to Nosara this winter and will be spending some time in the water with Alex and get some intense surf coaching sessions in.
Look for my Part 2 of this article to hear from me on my true surf coaching experience with Alex and Pureline Surf.
In the meantime check him out at:

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists the club will defend and support Aron Gunnarsson following allegations he leaked details of the Cardiff City starting XI to Crystal Palace ahead of their home match earlier this month.
The Bluebirds, who lost 3-0, have already complained to the Premier League about the matter and are hoping the match can be replayed.
However, the Cardiff boss has jumped to the Icelandic midfielder's defence, with Gunnarsson himself denying being the source of the leak.
Solskjaer said: "We will defend his name and reputation to the edge of the cliff, definitely.
"He will be involved in the squad on Saturday. He is there training. He will be involved unless he gets an injury."
As for the incident, Solskjaer said: "We have had issues internally. We've dealt with it and sent a report to the Premier League, and that is the end of the matter for us.
"We trust the Premier League to deal with whatever is required. The players have dealt with it fantastically. We've had a couple of chats and that is the end of the matter.
"You want to become a club that just talks about the football. I did have a good guess-estimate of Palace's team. That's just football, you do your ground work, you have got your scouts, you analyse them but we do it the right way."
And Cardiff keeper David Marshall also backed his under-fire team-mate, saying: "The one thing I will say is that Aron would never give somebody, or the opposition manager or anybody, our team line-up.
"He is one of the hardest-working and most honest people I have come across in the game. I don't know how it has come across that Aron's given it but I would put my life on it that Aron has not been involved.
"In terms of the leak, I think if people are doing that, nine out of 11 you could probably guess every Saturday who is going to be starting the game.
"With Aron's situation the last couple of days has probably brought the team closer."

As wildfires rage across Texas, feds take control and scuttle volunteer firefighters
Posted By admin On September 7, 2011 @ 3:57 am In Featured Stories,Prison Planet,Tile | Comments Disabled
Mike Adams
Natural News [1]
Sept 7, 2011
As fires raged across central Texas for the past three days, local citizens sprang into action to protect their lives and property. Local churches opened their doors and began hosting refugees left homeless by the fires which have now destroyed more than 1,000 homes and 100,000 acres across the state in just the past week. Several branches of the YMCA also began hosting families with children, and a public school in Bastrop County opened its doors to serve as an emergency relief center.
See a YouTube video of a citizen's narrow escape around Highway 21 near Bastrop, Texas:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYkc… [2]
Hundreds of firefighters from all the surrounding counties worked two days and nights in a heroic effort to contain the fires, but high winds Sunday night and all day Monday thwarted their efforts. So the call went out for more volunteer firefighters to join the effort from across the state.
Before they arrived, however, the federal government showed up and claimed it was in charge of the situation. "Agents with the federal National Interagency Fire Center, a coalition of federal agencies including the U.S. Forest Service, assumed command of firefighting efforts Tuesday afternoon," reports The Gonzales Cannon (http://www.gonzalescannon.com/node/6411 [3]).
RealNewsReporter.com is now reporting that volunteer firefighters who had in some cases driven all night to reach Bastrop county were turned away by the feds, who claimed that since local officials never made a "formal request" for volunteers, the volunteers could not be "activated."
So while Bastrop County burns from 40+ fires that are still raging, the federal government is actually telling volunteer firefighters to go home.
"We were at the station getting set up into strike teams, and this guy came up and said that the U.S. Forest Service had 'assumed control of the situation, and that If you don't have a vehicle that squirts water, go home,' said Gordon Greer of Kirbyville, in a RealNewsReporter article (http://www.realnewsreporter.com/?p=7889 [4]). Gordon reportedly drove all night Monday to arrive in Bastrop and take part in the firefighting effort. "You've got guys who had driven all night long from Corpus Christi and Brownsville on their own dime, and they turned them away," he said.
That same story reports that Jennifer Jones of theU.S. National Interagency Incident Centerconfirmed multiple federal agencies would be taking over the scene. Tuesday afternoon, the Bastrop County Office of Emergency Management stated on its Facebook page that volunteer firefighters would have to be "activated by the National Forestry Service first."
In other words, if you're a local Texan and you want to help other Texans save their ranches, or their homes, or their businesses, you need permission from the federal bureaucracy first!
But some Texans aren't allowing their efforts to be thwarted. As Real News Reporter says in its story, a group of Texas Nationalist Movement members who are also certified firefighters are in the Bastrop area and aiding civilian relief efforts, with or without permission from Washington D.C.
FEMA is approving grant money to help pay for some firefighting efforts
On the good news side, FEMA has reportedly approved several government grants to pay for firefighting efforts, although it should be mentioned that if the federal government wasn't taking so much of everybody's money to begin with, local groups of people could more easily afford to pay for their own firefighting defense and wouldn't need grants to cover the costs in the first place.

Tuesday, October 1, 2013 More items for Health & Safety More items from EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa)
The director of a large Russian shipyard is getting axed after a nuclear submarine caught fire during maintenance operations, injuring 15 people.
The fire was the second in less than two years aboard a Russian sub undergoing maintenance.
On Sept. 16, welders ignited old paint and rubber insulation inside the main ballast tanks of Pacific Fleet K-150 submarine Tomsk, filling the inside compartments with smoke, according to United Shipbuilding Corporation, the owner of the Zvezda shipyard.
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said he "gave instructions" that "must be fulfilled on Monday [Sept. 30]" to relieve the director of the shipyard, Vladimir Averin, of his duties, Ria Novosti reported.
According to preliminary reports, "the fire occurred as a result of violations of safety during hot work," USC said.
The director of Russian shipyard Zvezda will be relieved of his duties after a nuclear submarine caught fire, injuring 15 people. Preliminary reports indicate that "the fire occurred as a result of violations of safety during hot work."
Zvezda shipyard is a large shipbuilding and engineering complex in the Russian Far East town of Bolshoi Kamen, located about 15 miles across a bay from Vladivostok on the Sea of Japan.
The submarine is powered by two nuclear reactors, and both reactors for the main propulsion system were in safe condition, according to USC.
Criminal Investigation Launched
The military investigations department of Russia's Investigative Committee has opened a criminal case against officials of the Tomsk on suspicion of "exceeding official powers," the committee announced on Sept. 17.
Although initial reports stated that no one was injured in the fire, 15 military men were hospitalized, the Investigative Committee said.
An investigation into the fire has been launched to determine the "nature of violations" and the "degree of guilt."
Forensic, fire and medical experts are conducting an investigation to determine the circumstances of the incident, as well as identify "the nature of violations and the degree of guilt of both military officials of the Tomsk nuclear submarine and the specialists of OAO Far Eastern works Zvezda (OJSC), whose actions caused the fire and let it spread," the committee stated.
Putin Wants Answers
Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu to prepare a report on how to avoid similar incidents, saying this is not the first time such incidents have happened in Russia, according to transcripts from Putin's office.
In 2011, a submarine in dry dock at the Roslyakovo shipyard was rendered unusable after wooden scaffolding next to it caught fire, spreading to the ship. Seven members of that crew were hospitalized for carbon monoxide inhalation.
Shoigu said that Tomsk was docked at the shipyard for repairs in 2009, and all of its weapons were removed at the same time.
Tomsk was docked for repairs in 2009, which should have been completed by 2011. At the time of the fire, only 80 percent of the work was complete.
According to Shoigu, it took just under nine hours for 13 firefighting teams from the Pacific Fleet and the Emergency Situations Ministry to battle the fire, which started at 4:30 a.m. Moscow time and was extinguished at 1:15 p.m.
According to The Moscow Times, Major General Anatoly Gulyayev told Shoigu that work on the submarine should have been completed in 2011 and only 80 percent of the repairs had been carried out.

Casually, I said to Rebecca, now 7, "Most people are good, I think." . She answered with a knowing smile, "Yes, Grandma, except for the rain forest stuff." Well, okay...
Coming home from school on Monday, she was really excited. She went on a field trip with her first grade class to see, "Chimp," she was in a good mood, but also had learned some hard facts in her class and from the film. She started quizzing me. I didn't know any of the answers. She was appalled. I told her most adults don't know this stuff. I told her I'd pass it on in my blog. So here goes. I hope you know the answers better than I.did.Pass it on!

I would love to see much more plastic recycling opportunities...with street bins, at shopping centers and at arenas..It would also be great to see less plastic packaging! My God, I use cake lids as my dishpan and still hate to throw them out.
R and cheers!
Longer than it takes to clean the cup that some people use to get water out of the tap.

Longer than it takes for the dog crap that some people pick up to turn into fertilizer if it already in the bushes anyway.
I'm just not very good at these pop quizzes.
Sorry, but that is the best I can come up with.

Yields: 4 servings (serving size: 1 crème brûlée)
Oven Temp: 300
U.S. | Metric | Conversion chart |
- 2 cup(s) (2-percent) reduced-fat milk
- 3/4 cup(s) nonfat dry milk
- 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
- 1/2 cup(s) sugar, divided
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1 dash(es) salt
- Combine the first 3 ingredients in a medium saucepan. Heat mixture over medium heat to 180 degrees F or until tiny bubbles form around edge (do not boil), stirring occasionally. Remove milk mixture from heat. Cover and steep 30 minutes. Scrape seeds from vanilla bean into milk mixture; reserve bean for another use.
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
- Combine 1/4 cup sugar, egg yolks, and salt in a medium bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Gradually add milk mixture to egg yolk mixture, stirring constantly with a whisk. Strain mixture through a sieve into a bowl; discard solids.
- Divide the mixture evenly among 4 (4-ounce) ramekins, custard cups, or shallow baking dishes. Place ramekins in a 13- by 9-inch baking pan; add hot water to pan to a depth of 1 inch.
- Bake at 300 degrees F for 25 minutes or until center barely moves when ramekin is touched. Remove ramekins from the pan; cool completely on a wire rack. Cover and chill at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Sift 1 tablespoon sugar evenly over each custard. Holding a kitchen blow torch about 2 inches from the top of each custard, heat the sugar, moving the torch back and forth, until sugar is completely melted and caramelized (about 1 minute). Serve crème brûlée immediately or within 1 hour.
Tips & Techniques
Note: If you don't have a kitchen blow torch, you can make the sugar topping on the stovetop. Place 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon water in a small, heavy saucepan. Cook over medium heat 5 to 8 minutes or until golden. (Resist the urge to stir, since doing so may cause the sugar to crystallize.) Immediately pour the sugar mixture evenly over cold custards, spreading to form a thin layer.
Note: To prevent skins from forming while the custards cool, gently press plastic wrap to the top of each.

Option to Disband Ranked Games? (In-Depth)
I know this has been discussed a few times in some other threads already, but most of them are simply threads which state this needs to be done.
Unlike these previous threads, I intend to go into some depth as to how I think a system like this could be implemented while also keeping an eye out for possible toxic uses. Basically the thought goes that you start up a ranked game, and you get an AFK'er, troll, or whatever else in champion select. Your options are now 1) to play out the game and probably lose ELO, then further hope the Tribunal pays them back later, or 2) dodge and wait out a 30+ minute penalty. The goal, then, is to add an option 3) which allows the game to be disbanded in one way or another from within champion select. There are a few ways this could be done, but I'm just going to offer what I see as the best solution. Some Groundwork: A bit of thought is required as to what the ramifications of such a system are just as a general whole: Pros:
So clearly some thought needs to be done here, because the mere use of the system will inherently cause issues. My Solution: This solution isn't the basic one people have suggested before. A surrender-style dialog is subject to all of the pros and cons listed before, and vote-to-kick is worse. Before getting into this, please note that all numbers are just hypothetical, and a real system would need a lot of adjustments from this rough idea. That said, my idea is to instead use the reporting feature as a measure by which you can punish players for toxic behavior. A more immediate version than the Tribunal, and one which legitimately makes reporting feel like it has power, not only to those who report, but also to those who get reported. Basically, at the end of a match, a tally would be kept of the total reports and honors against all players. 1 report, you get a warning (or for repeated single reports, maybe 15 minutes). 2 reports, 30 minutes (standard ranked queue dodge penalty). ...and so on up to 9 reports, where you could get, say, a 24-hr. ban. However, any honors given would counteract reports on a 1:1 ratio, so if most of your team likes you, you don't have to worry about being reported. Secondly, if you lose the game, the ELO loss penalty for you and your team could be reduced. This would occur based on the number of reports the enemy team members make of any single (or possibly multiple) people on your team. (Only enemy reports! We don't want allied scapegoats saving ELO for their hateful 4-man pre-mades.) For example, if one person on your team receives 3 reports from your enemies, the ELO loss for you would be reduced 60% (20% per report against a single person). This might also help mitigate that idea of "ELO hell." Furthermore, games in which this reduction occurs will not influence the matchmaker's confidence in your ELO rating. Meanwhile, any reported players still take the full ELO penalty and sink lower into the depths. However, if you win the game after all, the opposite could be true. For each report an ally makes of another victorious ally, their ELO gain can be reduced by 25%. Again, this penalty would be directly countered by honors received. (Note here that in the case of victory, only allied reports count toward the penalty. Don't want any butthurt pre-mades denying ELO to deserving victors.) Thirdly, because this is making use of the Tribunal and the reporting system, the Tribunal will need to be granted a method by which it can penalize false reports (and due to inconvenience to legitimate players who are reported, the penalties should be harsher than those administered in error). So, let's talk some pros and cons of this: Pros:
Constructive and thoughtful criticism is very welcome. |
This system allow you to flag troll/leaver/feeder/etc but I don't understand how it actually give you the option to disband a team during champion selection. I belive Riot must already use a similiar system for recidivist and give them bigger penalties.
I don't think your idea will work because 1) duo queue can abuse it I hate this system to be honnest, so many things are not implemented in this game because we fear they might be abuse (vote-to-kick would be one) and I belive duo queue make most of those abuse possible. Sometime you don't even know that 2 players are a duo and they can do some serious trolling. 2) Honor and report shouldn't cancel each other on a 1:1 ratio You can be nice to your team and a ****** to the other team and get honor and reports. Or be 6-1 when the final score is 8-30, decide to go afk because you can't carry since most your turret are gone and get repot by your team and hornor by the other. I wouldnt consider Honor and Report to be strickly opposites. Report > Honor in most cases. 3) The blame game If you allow the ennemy team to determine who's responsable for your lost you might be able to adjust the ELO gain/lost more properly but be certain that you're to turn the all-chat into a monstrosity and will be accountable for the end of the world this december. I wouldn't go near the ELO problem if i where you. This system was design for chess which is a single player game and to adjust it for game like LOL is a nightmare since it create "stats *****s" and exploits. We've all seen people give up when there was still hope to turn a game around and i don't want to give them reasons to start cutting their loss mid game. 4) You can't react instantly to a report What if I jungle and the bot lane report me because I didn't gank. Top was doing horrible and i've judged that Bot could manage on its own and end up only ganking top and mid. Bot hate my face, Top lane think my ganks are trash, they report me for negative attitude and I can't play for 30 min ? What ? The number of reports should'nt be a factor to consider in most cases. Sometime it take only 1 or 2 player to turn yout tean against you than you team start turning the other team against you. 7 reports have a nice day, you're done playing today. So many exceptions, so many way to abuse, you can't judge someone so fast. I could right a whole book about why you can't judge someone like that. That being said My solution : As much as I want to pull the trolls out of the queue pool I don't think it's something that should be done like that. There is always a small amout of trolling in champ select, sometime people try to make others dodge so they won't have to wait. I want a dodge button. When i dodge it should allow me to report a player as a troll/intentional feeder and send a request to the others players so they can either support my report, ignore it or report me for misusing the system. Those report should be revied in the Tribunal with the chat log, same as usual. I really don't mind waiting 30 min to play. What i can't stand is having to play with some those troll to be able to report them. I'll rahter report him right away and use that time for something i will enjoy doing. |
This makes me think...
What if people with the honorable ribbons had their own queue that prioritized other honorable opponents? What if there is a queue that puts frequently reported players with other frequently reported players? |

IPT News
March 12, 2014
Eight national Muslim organizations, many with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and with records of support for Hamas, have formed a "national council" that seeks to further entrench an Islamist monopoly on Muslim political debate.
The U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations (USCMO) went public with a news conference in Washington today. Organizers would not allow a representative from the Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT) to attend.
The coalition claims "broad inclusion," yet its member organizations all start with similar viewpoints. But it doesn't appear to have invited Muslim groups with a different view of the role religion should play in society. Instead, it is a union of like-minded, inherently political organizations, many with checkered records.
That becomes relevant as the USCMO claims to seek a "unity of purpose not opinion … to act together on knowledge for the good of all people, not in the interest of a party or group." It will decide for "our whole community … all that is good, champion what is right and stand against what is wrong."
One Muslim with a different view is Zuhdi Jasser, president of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy (AIFD). Rather than following the USCMO's pledge of inclusion, Jasser routinely is attacked for wanting to keep religion a personal matter, not a political one.
The USCMO "should be looked at as a circling of the wagons of the inner core of American Islamist organizations," Jasser said Wednesday in an email to the IPT. "If they were going to start an American Islamist political party those would be the founders. Instead they deceive Americans as an innocent 'Muslim coalition.'"
Its president is Oussama Jammal, once the president of the Mosque Foundation outside Chicago. A 2004 Chicago Tribune story described fundraising at the mosque for Palestinian Islamic Jihad board member Sami Al-Arian's defense fund. In 1998, Jammal blasted a federal investigation which led to the freezing of a mosque member's assets for supporting Hamas.
"Politically motivated attacks on our community are an unfortunate reality that must not be accepted," Jammal said. "The stereotyping of Muslims and Arabs as being terrorists is wrong and it must stop." In 2001, after the identities of the hijackers had been released, he expressed doubts al-Qaida was responsible for the 9/11 attacks.
"How certain are we that it was Arabs who were behind it?" he asked.
The coalition Jammal leads includes:
· The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) – formed in 1993 as an outgrowth of the Muslim Brotherhood's "Palestine Committee." That group, like the USCMO, was an umbrella organization for Islamist groups in America. The Brotherhood charged the Palestine Committee with supporting Hamas politically and financially in the United States. CAIR co-founder Nihad Awad, a Palestine Committee member, remains CAIR's executive director.
· American Muslims for Palestine – a group which actively tries to delegitimize Israel and has defended Hamas and people convicted of providing material support to terrorists.
· The Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) – Created to serve South Asian Muslims in America, ICNA's curriculum emphasizes Islamist authors like Sayyid Abu 'Ala Maududi. Its charter calls for the "establishment of the Islamic system of life" in the world, "whether it pertains to beliefs, rituals and morals or to economic, social or political spheres." That is not limited to individuals, ICNA's hand book says, but strives "striving to make this Deen [religion] a way of life for all."
· The Muslim American Society (MAS) – Created by Muslim Brotherhood members in America. Its annual conferences with ICNA have included radical Islamist speakers, including a 2012 invitation to Sheikh Ayed al-Qarni, who has advocated jihad and is considered influential among al-Qaida followers, and Ragheb Elsergany, whom MAS and ICNA invited back after promising not to due to his extreme rhetoric. That includes a 2009 conference speech in which Elsergany called jihad one of the greatest acts to please Allah, "and one of the greatest of them is supporting the fighters, and the mujahideen [Islamic warriors] and the besieged, and those in need there in Palestine."
Interestingly, two high-profile Islamist groups – the Islamic Society of North America and the Muslim Public Affairs Council – are not yet a part of the USCMO.
The group plans to conduct a census that "will allow the larger Muslim community to better participate in our nation's political process." Several USCMO members have grossly exaggerated the American-Muslim population previously, however, with CAIR claiming more than 6 million Muslim Americans in 2001. The Pew Center for Research put that figure at about one-third of CAIR's estimate in 2007.
In 2011, the number was estimated to be 2.6 million people.
The USCMO also says it has identified 30 "internal challenges to our community" that it plans to address. Two of the three examples listed involve a stronger voice for women and young people. Combating radicalism within the Muslim community is not mentioned on the site.

William Kelso of the Jamestown Rediscovery Project Discusses New Finds at the James Fort Excavation Site
October 12, 2011
WILLIAMSBURG, Va. � In the final presentation of the 2011 Jamestown Lecture Series, Dr. William Kelso, director of the Jamestown Rediscovery® Project at Historic Jamestowne, discusses the archaeological finds from the most recent field season. The one-hour lecture will be held on Tuesday, October 25, at 5:30 p.m. at the DeWitt Wallace Decorative Arts Museum.
Director of Research and Interpretation William Kelso excavates a rapier hilt found in May.Kelso will highlight the season's discoveries including the complete "footprint" of the first Protestant church built in America (1608), clear evidence of how James Fort transformed into Jamestown, and the "anatomy" of a Civil War bomb shelter. He will also provide in-depth illustrated discussions of these new discoveries as well as a summary of how James Fort was initially revealed and how and what selected artifacts and eco-facts tell about both Virginia Company officials and daily life at early Jamestown.
In the fort, historic tradesmen will demonstrate their crafts, and visitors can learn about the amazing artifacts found at the fort that were used by the coopers. Children can join in the fun around the island with an archaeological dig box activity, crafts, period games and toy shallop (sailboat) races.
Tickets are $12 each and can be purchased by calling 1-800-HISTORY or at the museum store on the day of the lecture.
The lecture series is sponsored in part by The Edward Maria Wingfield Endowment Fund, established by The Wingfield Family Society to honor Wingfield as soldier, investor, and Jamestown's first president.
Historic Jamestowne is jointly administered by the National Park Service and The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation (on behalf of Preservation Virginia) and preserves the original site of the first permanent English settlement in the New World.


text: Pat LaFontaine was one of my all-time favorite hockey players. My interactions with him were few but I always was impressed with him -- be it in an interview about hockey, his charity work or even a personal discussion about memorabilia. As many others have said, LaFontaine left you thinking he really cared about you. Needless to say to any fan born before 1985, LaFontaine was a superb hockey player. He was the rare player to combine an edgy style with outrageous talent; normally hockey players come with one or the other. The result: a well-earned place in the Hockey Hall of Fame. I loved the idea of his joining Sabres management. His reputation with people -- to the best of my knowledge anyway -- was outstanding. Heck, I'd get to talk to him! Saturday he mysteriously left the team, and at this time reports are conflicting about why and how it happened. When I heard, I was sad. Last night I remembered, however, a sports fan's truism that no matter what happens to the people that comprise a team, it's the team we love the most. LaFontaine leaves and who knows how or even if he'll be replaced. I know that while some ideas will seem better than others, ultimately whatever happens is something I will defend. Because it's the team I like the most. As a player LaFontaine left the Sabres and played for the New York Rangers. I never cared about him as a Ranger. My favorite Sabre ever is Daniel Briere. I never rooted for him in Philadelphia. Doc Gooden and Darryl Strawberry will always be in my heart as great Mets; as Yankees they were stick figures in pinstripes. It's about the team. Perhaps LaFontaine's departure stemmed at least in part from general manager Tim Murray's wish to trade Ryan Miller, or just the follow through. In my opinion trading Miller was a definite right move. So many times in the last decade I've wanted the Sabres to be real about their overall quality and make cold, unsentimental moves to improve. Often those moves came far too late, or never at all. Darcy Regier was the face of all that, and now he's gone and many fans -- most -- are excited for a more aggressive attitude from the team about roster change. If LaFontaine left over Miller then in what to me is a very important area he really was no different than Regier. It may have been more of a general dissatisfaction over not getting to make final hockey decisions, as has been reported, and this casts a wider net than simply making it about Miller. That idea is confounding. How did LaFontaine not know clearly what the chain of command would be? How did he come upon Murray, who struck me and many others as a calculated, wheeler-dealer type on the very first day in the job? How many questions should LaFontaine have asked of candidates for the GM job before getting to this one: What do you think we should do with Ryan Miller? For me that answer is a small number. All of this speaks to LaFontaine being delusional, naive or some other thing. I'm not happy LaFontaine left, unless his judgment combined with his high stature unnecessarily complicated or even constricted important decision-making. He'll go "play" for another "team" now, and just like when he did that as a hockey player, I won't care that much. It's about the team. That's who we're born with. I hope Murray gets his space. He plays for my team now.

In February 1945, American Marines plunged into the surf at Iwo Jima through a hail of machine-gun and mortar fire that left the beaches strewn with comrades. They battled to the island's highest peak. Flags of Our Fathers tells the true story of six very different young men who were captured in the immortal photograph as they rose the flag atop Iwo Jima.
My father helped raise the flag on Iwo Jima.
He never talked about it.
My career as an author began with the search for my father's silent past.
Here's the plaque to my Dad atop Mt. Suribachi. It is in the "mitten shape" of the state of Wisconsin. The Bradleys are Cheeseheads.
The plaque marks the spot where the flag was raised. It overlooks the famed "Sands of Iwo Jima."
