Reader Email – I Think It's Safe To Say This Bro Dominated Home Coming At St. Lawrence
Reader Email
Looks like some graduates can't handle coming back to St. Lawrence for Alumni weekend…apparently getting knocked out for playing grab ass wasn't enough, he had to shit himself to complete the evening
Umm bro you have shit leaking out of your asshole. Probably not the best look going. Just ass out, shit everywhere. I was actually torn on whether to post this or not. Like this is pretty fucking gross but once I saw it I felt like everybody needed to see it. Like I can't unsee this and now neither can you. I guess it's true what they say. You live be the Stool sword you die by the Stool sword.
PS – I asked Feitleberg if this was too gross to post or was NSFW and he said no.

Compact and intense, as if steam is going to shoot from his ears, Pork Chop winds his ball up in his left arm, and his stocky body snaps as he releases it. It speeds in a perfect arc from his left hand and slaps all ten pins around.
The 30-something steam engine averages 219; the pins had no chance.
Next up, it's Jazz, the pink-shirted, baseball-capped godfather of the team. His ears stick out elfishly behind his cap as he calculatedly approaches the lane.
He throws, and the ball rips down the right side. The pins on the left breathe a sigh of relief... that is, until the ball takes a swift left curve and crashes through them, one and all.
Jazz has just bowled his first strike of the tenth frame on the last night of league play for the Tuesday Manor Classic. It's fortuitous, because his team, Pork Chop's Posse -- so named for the meaty maestro -- is trying to hold on to third place. Then Jazz rolls two more strikes for a perfect tenth frame.
It's a beautiful thing to see "XXX" so close together on the scoreboard, but it's even prettier when the rest of the team -- Pork Chop, Zealy, and Dooley -- gets the exact same result.
Forty-eight-year-old Zealy is a tall, blue-eyed man with an easy disposition. He turns around with a Bud Light in his hand and says, "We got 300 in the tenth frame."
Manor Lanes, the 48-year-old bowling alley with a retro vibe in the heart of Wilton Manors, doesn't have an empty lane at 11 p.m. on a Tuesday. But the most interesting team in the house is also the most lowbrow, debauched, drunken, and pleasantly pornographic. In short, Night Court's kind of people.
Jazz brings over a round of shots of Jägermeister, the herbal liqueur that looks like tobacco spit and tastes like Dimetapp -- especially on the way up. But PCP loves it and loves lovin' it. The team shoots them, and then in the first round of the next game, they're off to...
"Every time I do a Jäger shot, I get a strike," Jazz says. "Unfortunately, I can only do three."
"The more they drink," says Iggy, the sober, handlebar-mustachioed member of the five-man team, who averages a 198, "the drunker I get."
Dan, a tall, gray-haired man from another team, comes over to their lane and says, "It's impressive for Pork Chop's Posse to continue to bowl as good as they bowl and continue to drink as much as they drink."
OK, OK. You get it: They're drinkers.
But they're not just any drinkers. They're athletes. And they're different from their competition. Looking down the lanes at Manor Classics, you see a few scattered beer bottles on the tables. Tuesday-night boys are serious about their bowling, and across the board, they average around 200 -- some of the best in the county.
But the table behind lane 12 looks like a frat party is under way. You've got a deck of Hustler cards that PCP uses to play rounds of poker between turns during this Boy's Night Out. And frankly, if you watch them, you'd conclude that the actual game at hand is the least of their concerns. But their high scores tell another story: They have among the lowest handicaps in the league -- which means they are perhaps the best out on this night.
Pork Chop and Dooley, a six-foot-three Irishman on the team, whose Jägermeister bowling moniker is "Doolmeister," grew up watching Zealy and Jazz dominate tournaments at local alleys. When the now-roughly-35-year-old juniors on Pork Chop's Posse were kids, they were taking notes... and spare change. As Zealy tells it, "When we used to bowl at other alleys like Flamingo Lanes, we'd give Dooley and Pork Chop quarters to go play video games and leave us alone. They were 9 and 10 years old. When my name was called over the loudspeaker that I'd won the pot, they'd come, and I'd give them $1."
Zealy, who Jazz says "could have been a professional bowler," tells his story thusly: "Years ago, in my late teens, I tried to go pro. The guy who owned Flamingo Lanes was going to back me. But I broke my ankle playing basketball. So I took a five-year hiatus when I was 22 or 23 and got messed up with things you shouldn't get messed up with." Rock 'n' roll? Drugs? Or something more sinister?
Anyway, now he's bowling with his former pupils, who consistently throw games in the mid-200s.
Steve, an old friend of the team's, hollers at Dooley, "You've been bowling with Zealy too long" as he goes up to bowl his first frame of the second game.
"I know," the pale, young-faced adult says. "I learned from the master."
"I taught him everything he knows," Zealy concurs. "Straight is great."

Telltale Games are true masters of the point and click adventure. Nearly single handedly, they've revitalised the genre and brought it back from the brink of extinction. Monkey Island, Wallace & Gromit, Sam & Max, Back to the Future…they're all great titles in their own right. Each providing great adventure experiences both on the PC/Mac and on the iPad. Now comes a much, much cruder affair in the form of Hector: Episode 1 – We Negotiate with Terrorists. Think of it as a true antithesis of Wallace & Gromit. It's not comfortable and sweet, but downright lewd and offensive with plenty of profanities and mature themes. It's also really quite fun for those wanting a bit more bite to their point and click adventure.
Right from the start, Detective Inspector Hector is in your face as a grumpy and unpleasant pig of a cop. And you know what? It's pretty entertaining. It makes a great change of pace from what players usually expect of point and click adventure. Fans of British cop dramas like Life on Mars or Hot Fuzz will know a lot of these themes as Hector has clearly been heavily influenced by the likes of Gene Hunt. Much of the language is very British too which might take a bit of adjustment for some. It's consistently humorous though.
There's a whole wealth of jokes covering everything from condoms, drug addicts, sex dolls, prostitutes and a heck of a lot of swearing. Pretty much the first puzzle consists of retrieving a paper clip from a vile toilet with a condom and a dismembered foot. This is the kind of experience to expect.
The puzzles are a little convoluted at times with combining items particularly important throughout. Fortunately, a fair amount of hints and tips are available, but old hands at the genre will enjoy the challenge set out here. This is the kind of adventure game that requires players to explore every single nook and cranny on the screen in order to find everything, just like in the old days. Controls aren't bad with one tap allowing players to look while two interacts with the object but it can cause a few mistakes here and there.
Ultimately though, Hector: Episode 1 – We Negotiate with Terrorists is a pretty fun experience for those after cruder humor than the norm. People of a sensitive disposition should stay clear but those looking for a game with adult jokes will greatly enjoy this. Who could resist a game that requires the player to remove all the pornography in the town so as to appease terrorists for instance? Yup, it's that twisted.

November 2005 marked the institution of the Signature Ticket Initiative, during which tickets to all performances for the initial run of every production are heavily subsidized to broaden the accessibility of Off-Broadway theatre. At the program's onset, tickets cost fifteen dollars, rather than the usual sixty-five. The Signature Ticket Initiative allows seventy percent of the cost of a full-priced ticket to be subsidized.
The lead sponsor on the program is Time Warner, who has made it possible to underwrite over sixty thousand patrons' tickets as of the 2007-2008 season. Other sponsors include The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Margot Adams in Memory of Mason Adams, American Express, The Carnegie Corporation of New York, The Shubert Foundation, The Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation, The Ford Foundation, The Blanche and Irving Laurie Foundation, The Lucille Lortel Foundation, The Peter Norton Family Foundation, and The Harold and Mimi Steinberg Charitable Trust. The initiative is also supported by public funds from the National Endowment for the Arts, the New York State Council on the Arts, a State Agency, and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.
In 2012 Signature opened The Pershing Square Signature Center, its new Frank Gehry-designed home on 42nd Street.[6]
The Center comprises three theatre spaces, two studios, a shared lobby with a café and bar, bookshop, and concierge desk, and administrative offices that span 70,000 contiguous square feet in MiMA, a mixed-use Related Companies development.

I just viewed this video which described USA's distorted world view when it comes to the news. It really is no surprise, yet when I saw such a graphical representation of it, it somehow made me feel perturbed.
It also brings up the question: How much relevance do we give to each country in terms of news quantity? Just because China as a billion people doesn't mean that an interesting news event in Mozambique shouldn't be published instead. How do journalists gauge which news story is relevant and which isn't?In the video we learn that the world (other than USA and Iraq) is covered literally only 1% of the time. Instead the media over there spends time covering Anna Nicole Smith's death and Britney Spears. One of the factors that I overlooked was because it was simply cheaper to do it rather than spending on foreign bureaus.
Slimy paparazzi are easier and cheaper to find than honest and courageous journalists. Sadly, this is beginning to even happen in India. I would say that 90% of the news on Indian television is basically horse shit. These news channels are even hosting stand up comedy and quiz shows. Why? Because it is much cheaper to make a guy do stand up and film him for half an hour than do some serious investigative journalism.
There was a time when reporting could bring down presidents. Now they can't even write their own stories.

A hard foul by Brooklyn Nets forward Kris Humphries on the Celtics Kevin Garnett triggered a scrap under the Boston basket late in the first half of Wednesday's matchup between the two teams in Boston. The fight resulted in ejections for Humphries and Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo, who came in to defend KG. Brooklyn's Gerald Wallace got his second technical of the night during the scrap, resulting in his ejection as well.
At this point, we get it. Ray Allen is really, really glad that he's not playing for the Celtics anymore. He may not make as much money playing for the Miami Heat as he could have if he'd stayed in Boston. But, with Miami, he doesn't have to worry about playing with Rajon Rondo for 82-plus games. And, he also won't be used as a decoy on the offensive end of the court, which is something that he wasn't real happy about last year." [Read More]
Who do you think is the best point guard in the NBA? Derrick Rose, when healthy? Russell Westbrook? Where does Rajon Rondo rank? If you ask Rondo himself, he should head and shoulders above everyone else. While speaking from the World Basketball Festival earlier this week, the Celtics guard didn't pull any punches when the topic of top points in the league came up. "As I said at any time, I've matured a lot and my game also," Rondo told Basket Session. [See & Read More]
Outside of a possible Dwight Howard-to-the-Nets deal, the other transaction that everyone is talking about right now is a possible trade between the Celtics and Hornets that would send Rajon Rondo to New Orleans in exchange for Chris Paul.
Sounds like a decent deal for both sides, right? At least when you consider that CP3 doesn't seem interested in resigning with the Hornets when his contract is up after this season. [Read More]
The night prior to his charity game at Harvard on Saturday, Rajon Rondo went out to celebrate, and his evening was nearly ruined when another club-goer threw a punch (that missed) at the Celtics' star point guard.
According to WHDH, Rajon Rondo and several other NBA players were at a nightclub called Brian's Ivy Hall in downtown Lowell Friday night when a man attacked Rondo. [Read More]
Last year at the start of August, we were treated to a brand new commercial series and internet portal by the name of The Educators, an ad campaign for Foot Locker x Nike in which a series of "teachers" bring the education while wearing several signature Nike shoes.
Featuring Amar'e Stoudemire, Rajon Rondo, Blake Griffin, Larry Fitzgerald and Anna Pierce, you're going to see glimpses of the following: Nike Zoom Hyperfuse 2011 in red/black/gold, Air Max+ 2011 in black/red, LunarGlide+ 3 in gray/white, Zoom Hyperdunk 2011 in red, and the Air Max 24/7 in gray/green. Grab em all!
Whoa! Here's a pretty impressive comparison—that becomes even more impressive when you consider the source. In between Games 2 and 3 of the Heat/Celtics series, LeBron James & Co. have apparently been spending a lot of time trying to find ways to contain Rajon Rondo moving forward. So, of course, LBJ was asked exactly what Miami was going to do to try and combat the little guy after practice yesterday. And what he said might surprise you.
"You really can't," he said. "Every time he has the ball, you always have to know that he's capable of making something happen, not only for himself, but for his teammates...He's like Barry Sanders. You wouldn't want to run up on him all crazy in the backfield back in the day, either. He'll spin you around and get a touchdown. So you gotta be smart with it." Barry Sanders?! High praise, especially coming from King James. And something tells us it's got Mike D'Antoni spinning in his (playoff) grave as we speak.

Overall, everything went very smoothly and my experience was great. I appreciated the way everyone went out of their way to accomodate me and make the procedure as painless and quick as possible."

He did an amazing job…def is skilled at what he does, knows how to accommodate the patient's concerns, and does a very good job at trying to make it as painless as possible. i was back to normal within 1 week, only took a heavy duty pain med (vicodin) the day of the procedure to be able to ease out of the sedation and numbness."
- "Outstanding oral surgeon. Dr. Dr. Patel removed all 4 of my wisdom teeth. He was very professional and the procedure was over in what seemed like no time at all and was completely painless. I would strongly recommend him to anyone needing their wisdom teeth removed or any other oral surgery procedure. My experience with Dr. Dr. Patel and his staff was excellent from start to finish."

Geologists in Ohio have for the first time linked earthquakes in a geologic formation deep under the Appalachians to hydraulic fracturing, leading the state to issue new permit conditions Friday in certain areas that are among the nation's strictest.
Ohio investigation finds injection well caused quakes in Youngstown area
Gas drilling waste behind quakes
COLUMBUS, Ohio - A dozen earthquakes in northeastern Ohio were almost certainly induced by injection of gas-drilling wastewater into the earth, Ohio oil and gas regulators said Friday as they announced a series of tough new regulations for drillers.
[ WEB EXTRAS: To view a map of the state's injection wells, click here: http:// on.wews.com/ w4WoCc]
The state will impose tough new brine disposal regulations as a result .
Among the new regulations: Well operators must submit more comprehensive geological data when requesting a drill site, and the chemical makeup of all drilling wastewater must be tracked electronically.
The state Department of Natural Resources announced the tough new brine injection regulations because of the report's findings on the well in Youngstown, which it said were based on "a number of coincidental circumstances."
For one, investigators said, the well began operations just three months ahead of the first quake.
They also noted that the seismic activity was clustered around the well bore, and reported that a fault has since been identified in the Precambrian basement rock where water was being injected.
"Geologists believe it is very difficult for all conditions to be met to induce seismic events," the report states. "In fact, all the evidence indicates that properly located ... injection wells will not cause earthquakes."
Northeastern Ohio and large parts of adjacent states sit atop the Marcellus Shale geological formation, which contains vast reserves of natural gas that energy companies are rushing to drill using a process known as hydraulic fracturing.
That process involves freeing the gas by injecting water into the earth, but that water needs to be disposed of when companies are done with it. Municipal water treatment plants aren't designed to remove some of the contaminants found in the wastewater, including radioactive elements. A common practice is to re-inject it into the ground, a practice banned in some states.
The improper placement of the Youngstown well stemmed in part from inadequate geological data being available to regulators, the report states. New rules would require a complete roll of geophysical logs to be submitted to the state.
"These logs were not available to inform regulators of the possible issues in geologic formations prior to well operation," the document says.
Requiring well operators to submit more comprehensive geologic data is just one of the added regulations the department will either impose immediately or pursue through legislative or rule changes.
Among other changes:
- Future injection into Precambrian rock will be banned, and existing wells penetrating the formation will be plugged.
- State-of-the-art pressure and volume monitoring will be required, including automatic shut-off systems.
- Electronic tracking systems will be required that identify the makeup of all drilling wastewater fluids entering the state.
"Ohio has developed a new set of regulatory standards that positions the state as a national leader in safe and environmentally responsible brine disposal," Natural Resources Director James Zehringer said in a prepared statement.
"Ohioans demand smart environmental safeguards that protect our environment and promote public health. These new standards accomplish that goal," he said.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency gave Ohio regulatory authority over its deep well injection program in 1983, deeming that its state regulations met or exceeded federal standards. The new regulations would be added to those existing rules.

A dozen earthquakes shook northeast Ohio from March 2011 through New Year's Eve. The largest was magnitude 4.0.
An exclusive 5 On Your Side investigation in February found some earthquakes in Youngstown may have been prevented.
"I think more monitoring could have been done," said John Armbruster, a seismologist at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University, who has studied earthquakes for more than 40 years.
Armbruster said more thorough tracking of Ohio's seismic activity would have alerted officials that a new injection well was triggering earthquakes in the area. Earthquakes eventually subsided after high-pressure fluid injections into a well were halted, according to Armbruster.
"If more seismographs had been taken to Youngstown three months after this well started operating, we could have seen what was happening," Armbruster said. "If this well had been shut down nine months earlier, maybe the earthquakes associated with this well would be all over now."

Following the release of this investigation Friday, D & L Energy group released this statement:
"D & L Energy Group, an energy exploration and production company with headquarters in Youngstown, Ohio, makes the following observations on the Ohio Department of Natural Resources' (ODNR) latest news release outlining a preliminary report on seismic activity in Youngstown.
• ODNR makes its preliminary conclusions without conducting any testing at the Northstar No. 1 well site. The agency appears satisfied to base it conclusions on the limited scientific data available from outside sources.
• D & L prepared, drilled and is now the operating manager of the Northstar No.1 injection well in full compliance with ODNR permits and supervision. Everything done at the Northstar No. 1 well site was done with ODNR knowledge and approval. These statements apply to all other injection wells D & L either currently operates or has in development.
• While ODNR repudiates drilling into the Precambrian formation now, the agency permitted D & L to do so in the case of the Northstar No. 1 well and then used this site to collect geological information. The current preliminary report does not indicate ODNR accepts any responsibility for its decision.
• D & L has been in constant contact with ODNR regarding extensive testing the agency asked us to conduct to investigate any possible connections between seismic activity and the Northstar No. 1 well (sometimes referred to as the Ohio Works well in previous releases).
• The D & L research project will provide scientifically sound data in excess of what is available now. It is unfortunate ODNR pre-empted a thorough search for information, opting instead for a politically expedient preliminary report that sacrifices true understanding for haste.
• Given the costs of new research, which could reach as high as $1 million and will be borne by D & L and not the state nor the taxpayers, we ask why ODNR asked us to do the work if the agency had no interest in the results.
• D & L reminds ODNR and the community that the Northstar No. 1 well is currently inactive. It is not accepting water for injections. Given this idle status, there is no reason to rush and accept bad or incomplete science.
• D & L has no immediate reaction to the proposed changes in injection well regulations except to state the company has always been an environmentally responsible and legally operating energy producer that voluntarily implements industry best practices that exceed current laws and regulations.
D & L intends to continue with its study pending ODNR approval In fact, today's report comes as a surprise as D & L and ODNR has a meeting scheduled in Columbus later this month to discuss the D & L study proposal. D & L calls on ODNR to let science guide its regulatory actions and to remain open to the data they requested in the first place."
Fracking Coverage
Shell, Europe's largest oil company, will stop drilling for oil in Alaska this year as it cuts back on investments and tries to reverse a steep drop in earnings.
A list of toxic chemicals used by Ohio shale drillers must be made available locally to governments, first responders and residents under a new state directive.
Amish communities in Ohio and Pennsylvania are debating a temptation -- the large cash royalties that can come with the boom in oil and gas drilling from the technology known as fracking.
A northeast Ohio businessman and one of his employees have pleaded not guilty to charges alleging they violated the Clean Water Act by repeatedly dumping gas-drilling wastewater into a storm sewer.

By Rabbi Michael Strassfeld
Mai Hanukkah?-- "What is Hanukkah?"--asks the Talmud.
Upon reflection, this is a strange question for the rabbis of the Talmud to be asking.
All of us are aware to some degree of the story of Hanukkah, of the victory of the brave Maccabees against the Greeks and of the miracle of the cruse of oil that burned for eight days instead of one. Yet upon closer examination, the early history of the holiday of Hanukkah is not clear, and the story is not so simple.
The common version is worth a brief review before we examine its sources in detail.
In the fourth century B.C., Alexander the Great with his Greek armies conquered the Near East including Israel. After his death, his empire split apart. The land of Israel, after a period of struggle, came under the control of the Seleucid dynasty, which ruled the region of Syria. In the year 167 B.C., the king Antiochus Epiphanes decided to force all the peoples under his rule to hellenize. The practice of Jewish rituals such as the Sabbath and circumcision was outlawed. The worship of Greek gods and the sacrifice of pigs replaced the traditional worship in the temple. Some Jews eagerly flocked to the gymnasium, symbol of the Greek emphasis on the beauty and strength of the body. Others resisted Hellenism and died as martyrs.Hanukkah is the most historically documented of the Jewish holidays. We have early sources for the story in the First and Second Books of the Maccabees and in the works of Josephus. We have somewhat later accounts in the Talmud and other rabbinic literature. There is even a medieval work called Megillat Antiochus--The Scroll of Antiochus--which is modeled after the biblical Book of Esther. The problem we face is that in none of these accounts do we find the story as outlined above and as it is popularly known. Let us examine each of these accounts and speculate on why this is true.One day the Greeks came to the village of Modi'in and set up an altar. They commanded the Jews to bring a pig as a sacrifice to show obedience to Antiochus's decree. Mattathias, an old priest, was so enraged when he saw a Jew about to do so that he killed him. He and his five sons then fought the Greek detachment, retreated to the mountains, and began a guerrilla war against the Greeks and their Jewish allies. Before he died of old age, Mattathias passed on the leadership to his son Judah the Maccabee. Judah led his forces against a series of armies sent by Antiochus, and through superior strategy and bravery he defeated them all. Finally, he and his followers liberated Jerusalem and reclaimed the temple from its defilement by the Greeks. They could find only one small cruse of oil, enough to last one day, but when they lit the temple menorah with it, a miracle occurred and the menorah burned for eight days. Since then we celebrate Hanukkah to remember the Maccabees and their successful fight for independence against the Greeks, and most of all the miracle of the oil.
The earliest versions are found in the First Book of Maccabees and the Second Book of Maccabees. While these books tell the history of the Maccabees, they did not become part of the Hebrew Bible. They were preserved by the church and can be found in collections of Apocrypha literature. Thus Hanukkah is the only major holiday that has no basis in the Bible.
The story found in the First and Second Books of the Maccabees (with some variations between the two books) is fairly similar to the traditional story outlined above except for one major exception--there is no mention of the cruse of oil nor of the miracle. While both books mention the cleansing and rededicating of the temple and even briefly mention the relighting of the lamps in the temple, nothing is said of the miracle. Hanukkah is instituted specifically for eight days not because of the miracle of the menorah but because it is modeled after the holiday of Sukkot, which the Maccabees could not observe while they were still fugitives in the mountains of Judea.
In the next account we have, that of Josephus, the Jewish historian of the first century of the Christian Era, there is again no mention of the miracle, but he does call the holiday "Lights."
As for rabbinic sources, we would expect to find the laws for the candlelighting in the Mishnah (the early collection of rabbinic material). in fact, we might expect a whole tractate devoted to Hanukkah as there is to Purim (the tractate Megillah ). Instead we find virtual silence in the Mishnah about Hanukkah.
Only in the Gemara (the later rabbinic material that together with the Mishnah makes up the Talmud) do we find our long-lost miracle of Hanukkah. In the tractate Shabbat 21b, the Gemara asks, "What is Hanukkah?" and answers by saying that the Greeks defiled the temple, and when the Hasmonaeans (another name for the Maccabees and their descendants) defeated them, they found only one cruse of oil with its seal unbroken. It contained enough oil for only one day, but a miracle happened and the menorah burned for eight days.
It should be pointed out that the Talmud's account pays scant attention to the military victory of the Maccabees and focuses instead on the miracle of the oil.
Scholars speculate that the differences in these texts reflect the history of the festival.
At first Hanukkah was celebrated as a reminder of the victory of the Maccabees. It also marked the rededication (Hanukkah means dedication) of the temple. Only later did the miracle of the oil come to dominate the military victory. This shift in focus can perhaps be attributed to the subsequent history of the Hasmonaeans. The Hasmonaean dynasty, with the passage of time, became hellenized and, more important, some of them opposed and even persecuted the rabbis. This dark later history superseded the brief bright period of their beginning. This may explain the Mishnah's silence about Hanukkah.
Others speculate that in Mishnaic times, the rabbis, living under Roman rule, may have felt obliged to censor a story of a successful revolt by a small number of Jews against a powerful enemy. The Mishnah was composed after the disastrous revolts of A.D. 70 (when the second temple was destroyed) and of A.D. 135 (the Bar Kochba rebellion). Both to appease the Romans and to discourage Jews from being inspired by the Maccabees, the Mishnah may have minimized the military significance of Hanukkah.
Finally, one can speculate that because the independence of the Hasmonaean state lasted less than a hundred years, the importance of the Maccabees' victory diminished as time went on, until it seemed like a relatively brief moment in the history of Israel. Other dates in the Jewish calendar from that period also subsequently passed into obscurity--for example, the day of Judah's victory over the general Nicanor was celebrated on Adar I3 (which later became the Fast of Esther). To ensure Hanukkah's lasting importance, then, the tradition decided to emphasize its spiritual meaning and its symbol --the menorah.
In spite of this ambiguous history, Hanukkah remained popular and the rabbis established rules for the lighting of the candles. While these commemorated the miracle of the oil, the tale of the Maccabees never completely disappeared from Hanukkah. Thus we also recite the al ha-nissim prayer in the amidah and the Grace after Meals-birkat ha-mazon--which stresses the military victory and only mentions lighting the temple menorah in passing, without any reference to the miracle.
Hanukkah as a holiday continued to change and develop.
During the Middle Ages, the focus of Hanukkah remained on the miracle of the oil, though stories of the bravery of the Maccabees were well known. While First and Second Maccabees, as well as Josephus, were unknown to most Jews, these stories were recorded in various midrashim or collections of folk tales or in Megillat Antiochus. Some communities read The Scroll of Antiochus during Hanukkah.
Strangely, this scroll, which does speak both of the miracle and of the victory, downplays Judah's role and instead makes his brother Jonathan the chief hero. Megillat Antiochus can be found in some prayer books-- for example, Ha-Siddur ha-Shalem (Daily Prayer Book) by Philip Birnbaum (New York: Hebrew Publishing Co., 1949), which has an English translation.
Another important focus during the Middle Ages was the religious martyrdom of the story. All the accounts speak of Jews who preferred to die rather than submit to Antiochus's decree. The Second Book of Maccabees in particular has many such accounts. One tells of Eleazar, a scribe in his nineties, who refused to eat pork and died by torture.
The most famous is that of Hannah and her seven sons. Each son is asked by the king to eat pork (or in some versions to bow to an idol), and each refuses. After proclaiming his faith in God, each is horribly put to death. Even the seventh and youngest refuses and both he and Hannah die. This story (and that of Eleazar) with some variations also appears in rabbinic literature (Gittin 57b, Lamentations Rabbah 1:16:50). These martyrs have served as models to Jews under persecution throughout the ages, but particularly to the Jews of the Middle Ages.
In America, Hanukkah has been influenced by the celebration of Christmas. While a tradition of giving Hanukkah gelt--money--is an old one, the proximity to Christmas has made gift giving an intrinsic part of the holiday. In general, the attempt to create a Jewish equivalent to Christmas has given Hanukkah more significance in the festival cycle than it has had in the past. Indeed, in most American Jewish families, Hanukkah is much more important than the biblical holidays of Sukkot and Shavuot.
In the state of Israel, the nationalist and military aspects of the festival have once again come to play a central role. The heroic struggle of the Maccabees against a larger foe is, of course, much in keeping with Israel's self-image. Celebrations are held in Modi'in, the hometown of the Maccabees, and torches of freedom are carried by runners from there to all parts of Israel and even by plane to other countries
And so the answer to the simple question Mai Hanukkah?--What is Hanukkah?--has continued to be like the flickering flame of the menorah. The flame never looks the same from one instant to the next, but at its core it remains unchanged.

The 30 Greatest Dubstep Songs of All Time
Given dubstep's lumbering cadences, it's only appropriate that the genre has left a ginormous footprint in every corner of the pop landscape — from the brain-battering swagger of the new Korn album to the crackling midnight symphonies of recent Radiohead to Waka Flocka Flame's club-destroying fist pumps, to the noir croon of James Blake to the Solo-cup-raising breakdowns of Britney Spears.
The sullen spawn of U.K. garage and British sound-system culture, dubstep first took root a decade ago in London club nights like FWD (and a couple years later, DMZ), where chest-hollowing bass lines met Spartan breakbeats under the invocation: "Meditate on bass weight." Maybe it was all that low-end pressure that made it explode so quickly: By the late 2000s, dubstep had splintered into numerous factions, from brostep to wonky to the evocative "purple," even rumbling stadium audiences with earthquake drops. Today, pinpointing a single locus of dubstep would be like trying to nail down "indie rock" to a single guitar chord. But here's our attempt to identify the 30 greatest examples of the genre, after we finally emerged from a cloudy aquarium of subterranean wooze and woofer-warping boom.
30. Jay-Z and Kanye West - "Niggas in Paris" (2011)
Created by Hit-Boy, the best beat on the lush Watch the Throne wasn't necessarily dubstep — just incomprehensible without it. "Niggas in Paris" is a syncopated take on John Carpenter's Halloween score that bobs and weaves with volcanic echoes, the THX theme, and sounds from a great party, putting a fun-house mirror to dubstep's defining rhythmic move (half-time meets two-time). For American hip-hop and R&B tracks, it became an instantly classic escape route — which, by some means, is what the song's about too. PIOTR ORLOV
29. Rusko - "Cockney Thug" (2009)
British destructivist Rusko is one of the earliest artists cited as making dubstep synonymous with the chest-massaging "wobble." He helped write the script for arena-dubstep (ahem, "brostep") with heavy, grating bass that walks the line between head-bobbing hypnosis and headache-inducing hysteria. This track from his pre-Mad Decent days is definitive, complete with an extra jaunty set of horns and the snide Cockney accent of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels actor Alan Ford to complete the track's abrasive sneer. PUJA PATEL
28. Excision & Downlink - "Existence VIP" (2011)
Separately, these two leading lugs of Canadian dubstep peddle the aggro-chug of nü-metal, the blood-on-the-dance-floor abandon of Fatboy Slim, and the gentle grace of an oil-spattered Decepticon orgy. Together, they power up the bass cannon for the wubstep version of "For Those About to Rock," a robo-Neanderthal war anthem complete with alien monologues and a harrowing accelerando. CHRISTOPHER R. WEINGARTEN
27. Musical Mob - "Pulse X" (2002)
The Youngstar-produced "Pulse X" actually predates dubstep itself — technically, the 2002 track qualifies as 8-bar garage (or, as London's FACT magazine called it, part of "grime's year zero"). But it would be hard to imagine contemporary dubstep without the wilting bass tones at its center. "Pulse X" is so fundamental for bass music that it's become practically a folk standard: In 2010, Austin bassmaster Dubbel Dutch flipped it into a tribal guarachero tune called "Pulso." PHILIP SHERBURNE
26. Flying Lotus - "Glendale Galleria" (2009)
A track that finally saw the official light of day in 2009 as part of the Tectonic Plates ten-inch series, "Glendale Galleria" features a beat and Silent Hill 4 sample that had been floating through Steven Ellison's sonic world for a few years (check his remix of Kanye's "Love Lockdown"). These micro moments encapsulate how the California genre-masher has been informing dubstep for the past five years, eschewing anything resembling one grand statement for a series of finely tuned, constantly evolving rhythm'n'texture interactions. P.O.

LymanHigh student fatally shot during home invasion -- OrlandoSentinel.comSHE got it right...what is wrong with juveniles these days?
Lyman High student fatally shot during home invasion
Authorities say Ryan Realford was killed trying to break into a house and escape a deputy sheriff. (SEMINOLE COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE)
Gabrielle Finley | Sentinel Staff Writer
February 24, 2008
ALTAMONTE SPRINGS - As a corrections officer, Debra Hutcherson deals with criminals every day, but she never thought she would have to come face to face with one in the middle of the night.
But shortly after midnight Saturday, a young man who a deputy says was trying to escape capture tried to break into the house where Hutcherson, her husband, Floyd, and three small grandchildren were sleeping.
Floyd Hutcherson fired his gun.
The result: The intruder, 17-year-old Ryan Realford, is dead.
Floyd Hutcherson later would not talk about the incident.
"When I found out the guy who died was 17 . . . my condolences go out to the family because that was someone's child," Debra Hutcherson said Saturday.
"But what was he supposed to do?"
One of Realford's friends, Victoria Felder, lives just a few houses from where he was shot.
Felder said she knew Realford, a Lyman High School student, had trouble with the law before, but never thought it would cause his death.
"When I found out . . . I still don't believe it," Felder said.
"I don't know what's going on with our juveniles," Hutcherson said.
Realford was arrested in January 2007 on battery charges at Lyman High, records show.
Here's how Hutcherson and the Seminole County Sheriff's Office described what happened early Saturday:
A uniformed deputy was driving an unmarked Sheriff's Office patrol car when he was approached by a young man who appeared to be selling drugs.
The man, later identified as Realford, came closer to the patrol car with an "unidentified substance" in his hand and started talking, but soon ran away after he realized he was talking to a deputy.
The deputy radioed for backup as he watched the man jump a nearby fence and run near some houses.
Moments after the 12:30 a.m. incident began, Hutcherson said, one of her grandchildren was screaming that someone was trying to get into their house.
"They were screaming 'He's out there on the patio!' " Hutcherson said.
Floyd Hutcherson left the bedroom and started looking around for the man, while his wife looked for the two guns they had by their bedside.
Debra Hutcherson said she handed her husband a .357-caliber handgun.
"Floyd told him to get off the patio, but he wouldn't," Hutcherson said.
Floyd Hutcherson was standing in front of Realford with the gun, and Debra Hutcherson stood in the background armed with a .38-caliber gun.
"I was just screaming for him to get out of here," Hutcherson said.
"Then Floyd fired a shot to scare him," Hutcherson said.
"But the shot actually hit him."
Realford ran away from the screened patio, but didn't get far.
Deputies found him conscious and lying on the ground at the side of the house.
Paramedics took the teen to Orlando Regional Medical Center, where he later died.
Deputies were investigating the shooting later Saturday.
They said it was unlikely Floyd Hutcherson will face charges because of the state's Castle Doctrine Law, which allows a person to use deadly force against an intruder.
Just a month ago, Debra Hutcherson said, someone tried to break into the home through the front door.
"I went out and got an alarm system thinking I was doing things to keep us safe," Hutcherson said.
Now, even more trouble could be brought to the home that's not even theirs.
The home belongs to her relatives, and the couple were staying there until renovations to their home are completed.
But with six months until the house is ready, Hutcherson is looking to live elsewhere, in fear of retaliation against the family.
Until then, a deputy will be parked outside the home to deter any more violence, Hutcherson said.
I feel for them having to deal with the emotional aftermath, and feeling the need to move (they are probably right).

Fiona Fine enjoys her success as an outrageous couture designer for the biggest names, the premier events of Bigtime, New York a city populated by a collection of superheros and ubervillains. Few people are aware of Fiona's alter ego Fiera, capable of manipulating fire with a thought and one of the Fearless Five, a group of superheroes pledged to protect Bigtime. Yet for all her strength and success, Fiona still nurses a broken heart over the loss of Travis and no small amount of resentment toward Karma Girl, aka Carmen whose actions were directly responsible for his death. The last thing Fiona expected to find at Carmen's wedding reception was a red-hot hunk of lovin in the form of Johnny Bulluci. He's the only man she's so much as looked at in a year and might just be able to help her get over Travis but can he get past Fiona's secret identity as she battles a couple of nasty vixens. Of course, Johnny has his fair share of secrets complicating the picture as things heat up in this rapid paced paranormal romp.
Estep dispenses with the archtypical darkly brooding creature of paranormal romance in favor of smart, sassy, larger then life superheroes riddled with many of the same cares and shortcomings that afflict the average joe. The ubervillains are supremely techno-savvy and nasty enough to satisfy the most bloodthirsty reader. Laced with humor, Estep has come up with a winning combination that will certainly attract a loyal following.

CE009 - Math Error Traps for Robust Operation
by Microchip Technology
The attached code example is valid for dsPIC30F devices in the GP, Sensor and Motor-Control families.
About this Code Example
Microchip's 16-bit dsPIC® Digital Signal Controllers feature an on-chip mechanism to detect software errors and take corrective action. Specifically, the ability to detect arithmetic (math) errors is provided by means of automatic Math Error Trap detection. Math errors may be caused by one of the following:
a. Divide by Zero
b. Accumulator A overflow (bit 31 destroyed)
c. Accumulator B Overflow (bit 31 destroyed)
d. Catastrophic overflow of Accumulator A (bit 39 destroyed)
e. Catastrophic overflow of Accumulator B (bit 39 destroyed)
Accumulator Error traps need to be enabled in software by the user, while divide by zero errors are automatically enabled in hardware.
If the application defines an Math Error Trap service routine (trap handler), the processor will vector to the trap handler when it detects a math error.
The attached code example is valid for dsPIC30F devices in the GP, Sensor and Motor-Control families.
The attached code example contains one C file and one Assembler file - "main.c" and "math_error_trap_30F_GP_MC_Sensor.s" .
- The code example in the "math_error_trap_30F_GP_MC_Sensor.s" file demonstrates a simple means by which the user may detect what kind of math error was caused -whether "Divide-by-Zero" or an "Accumulator Overflow" trap. You may add this file to your project to ease debugging during development of your application.
NOTE: This routine also estimates the instruction that caused the math error trap to occur by examining the PC value that is stored in the stack prior to entering the Math Error Trap. Since the instruction that causes divide by zero error to occur is not executed, the stacked PC points to the offending instruction. However, the instructions that cause accumulator overflows to occur will be executed prior to the trap being caused. So the stacked PC will point to the instruction after the offending instruction. Thus, the estimation routines differ slightly for the Divide by Zero error and the Accumulator Overflow errors. It should also be noted that since this trap routine is written in C the estimation of the stacked PC will depend on the compiler optimization level set up for this file. In the trap routine presented here, a comiler optimization level of 0 is assumed for this file.
- The code in the "main.c" file simply performs an illegal math operations so as to cause a Math Error Trap. If the symbol DIVIDEBYZERO is not defined, the code in the main.c file will cuse an Accumulator A overflow error trap to occur. To remove the DIVIDEBYZERO symbol simply comment out the line of code as follows:
//#define DIVIDEBYZERO

Online Safety Tips for the Holidays
Just as you're seeking the best online deals during the holidays, others may be taking advantage of your giving spirit in the latest phishing scams.
"Criminals know we are all out to make our budgets stretch as far as possible, and get the best deals on holiday goods," said Laura Heilman, security awareness training and education manager with Enterprise Information Technology Services (EITS) in the Office of Information Security at the University of Georgia. "Phishing and other online scams are prevalent during the holidays."
And as someone who trains and educates folks on cyber security issues, she offers a few tips for avoiding phishing and online scams. Much of her holiday-themed advice comes from the anti-phishing firm Wombat Security Technologies.
To avoid phishing and other online scams, Heilman offers the following advice:
- Avoid opening coupon attachments. Most companies will post coupons on their website — that's where you should go to get your coupons. Always avoid opening email attachments and do not download anything from a source you do not recognize.
- Avoid clicking that link. The holiday season is the most popular time of year to send and receive electronic greetings cards (e-cards). Many scammers use e-cards as a way to trick email recipients into downloading malicious software, or providing personal information in order to retrieve the card. Be especially cautious of any e-card that comes with an attachment. Think it through and look for the signs of a fake e-card:
- misspellings
- errors in the message that tells you how to pick up your cards
- you do not know the sender
- the sender is anonymous or has a fake-sounding name
- the URL you have to go to in order to retrieve the card looks off or odd (examples: hal1mark.com instead of hallmark.com or arnericangreetings.net instead of americangreetings.com)
If the card is supposedly from someone you know, you can contact that person to make sure it actually came from them before you decide to retrieve the card. If they did not send it, simply delete it. It is better to do that than run the risk of infecting your machine with software that might spy on you, steal your account login information, or tamper with your data.
- Be cautious. When someone reaches out to you on social networking sites like Facebook or LinkedIn, do not approve the connection if you are unsure if you know the individual. Be especially wary if you have not met the person face-to-face or if the connection request seems out-of-the-blue.
- Ensure you have a secure internet connection for online shopping. Never shop, check email, or visit banking or credit card sites while using public Wi-Fi. Make online purchases only from trusted merchants and be sure your transaction is protected by encryption.
How? Look for the "https:" in the shopping site's URL or a lock symbol, either to the left of URL in the address bar, or near the bottom of your browser window. Also, avoid using your debit card when shopping online. It is directly connected to your bank account and may not carry the same level of consumer protection as your credit card.
- Trust your instincts. If an online deal seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Take a few moments to investigate the website that offers the deal — does it give contact information that lists a physical address? Does the website have a privacy policy that specifies how they will use your personal information, how you will be billed, and by whom? Check the Better Business Bureau and run a search for consumer reviews of the website.
These few preventative steps can help protect you during the holiday season.

HIV positive youth encounter profound and varied challenges. We say we want to help, yet we continually let them down when we don't provide the services they need. It's a growing problem without a single solution. NUMAT is one of many organizations that is serving the underserved through a layered approach that supports, nurtures and strengthens the youth whose lives have been redefined by HIV.
Ten years ago, I took an HIV test. I was motivated to take the test because I lost my closest relative to HIV. Knowing my own HIV status has empowered me to make informed decisions about my life and to reach out to my family and peers to encourage them to get tested early too. While at school, some of my peers were HIV positive and faced a number of challenges, including stigma and discrimination, and many didn't know how to find youth-friendly HIV services. All of the above inspired me to join an organization that aims to fulfill the needs of HIV positive youth.
Serving the underserved
HIV positive youth are an important, but often underserved population. Approximately 5.4 million young people aged 15 to 24 are living with HIV worldwide, and that number is growing at an alarming rate (UNAIDS). The availability of antiretroviral therapy and improved care and treatment has enabled many to live into their teenage years and beyond. Yet, quite often, programs that directly address the needs of HIV-infected youth are neglected in favor of approaches that focus on younger children or adults. As the number of HIV-infected youth increases, more programs are needed to provide targeted HIV services.
For many youth, reducing their sexual risk and disclosing their status—especially to their peers and teachers, if they are still in school—are daunting challenges. Stigma remains a critical challenge at the family level, in the health facilities and in schools; "felt" stigma (stigma that an individual feels toward himself or herself) is also a major issue.
In my community, youth are still unable to access youth-friendly HIV services. I believe communities like mine can empower HIV-positive youth who choose to be open about their HIV status by providing self-esteem training; supporting them to establish youth-centered positive prevention clubs; educating them on condom use, then making protection supplies available; and finally by linking them to existing youth centers and youth organizations to access reproductive health and HIV services.
NUMAT's multifaceted approach
The Northern Uganda Malaria AIDS and Tuberculosis Program (NUMAT), a JSI Research & Training Institute, Inc. implemented project, is committed to increasing access to and utilization of HIV services for young people living with HIV. They support targeted and appropriate prevention activities, and they reach out to young people living with HIV to reduce their vulnerability to HIV re-infection and other infectious diseases.
NUMAT is reducing stigma and discrimination among young people by training teachers to encourage supportive environments for HIV-positive students. Teachers are sensitized to the needs and rights of their students living with HIV. They are then supported to create a conducive learning environment; to encourage school enrollment and retention of positive youth; to provide better school-based services, like psychosocial support, counseling and nutrition; and to help give positive youth more confidence, while mentoring them to pursue their life and career goals.
A conversation for a better solution
In anticipation of the upcoming World Youth Conference in Mexico, where this topic will be discussed, I invite you to respond to the following questions.
Let your opinions known by posting your comments onto this blog.
I think here in Africa,we need more education on what HIV really is,I also think the stigma that comes with it is alarming,there are so many other diseases that kills faster than HIV but there is no stigma attached. People should be made to realize that they nid to know there HIV status irrespective of how healthy they think they are.
- Diana, this is a careful and well written piece. I like the depth and energy you show for your work.
- To reach HIV positive youth in challenging circumstances, we have to engage civic society i.e Clubs, Student Associations, School Boards, NGO's and the national governments. This needs an all out assault that is coordinated in such a way that it eliminates or reduces waste and redundancy but maximizes efficacy. Not that, accoding to the UN, Africa has the youngest population of people under 30. It is also hardest hit by thge AIDS epidemic therefore governments and civic organizations need to work together in order to reduce transmission, provide treatment and further strengthen the public healthand economic infrastructure of the communities where the youth live.
- To attract the youth, I think we need to engage them with culturally relevant material. For example,sports, music, video,social networking sites like twitter and facebook, peer to peer discussions and debates in schools and community halls will draw the youth in.
- Communities can work to together by sharing best practices on reduction of HIV transmission. They can combine medical resources so that most patients get comprehensive care, no matter where they are. In addition, communities should set up an administrative infrastructure to address problems
Young positives is indeed a special group with special needs. It is very important that when we design projects to meet their needs we involve them from the inception to implementation. Why are our young people unable to access youth friendly services? We should remember that young positives are unique in the sense that their future is threatened by HIV and appears bleak. Many of them have also been born with the virus. Programmes to address social issues concerning young positives need to be encompassed in the project design.
You are doing a great work my friend. And it is very important for youth in countries such as mine to copy some ideas and techniques to be able to find sustainable solutions to our own health problems. I appreciate your work and hope your results of achievement grows higher....
Young people living with HIV are a very specific group while addressing youth SRHR issues. However among this target group, there is a need to think about the non educated young because most of the program designed are made for young people educated. What's about that under served population. I think we should also emphasis on mobile strategies, we need to go to them with a strong and culturally acceptable program components, involve as much as possible community so that the stigma can be reduced. Services need to be friendly, young people need model, not critics.
Diana is the Monitoring and Evaluation Manager for the Northern Uganda Malaria AIDS & Tuberculosis Program (NUMAT), an HIV prevention, care and treatment program based in Northern Uganda. Passionate about youth HIV issues, Diana's vision is to educate as many people as possible about the needs of young people living with HIV. She gives motivational talks and career guidance advice to young HIV-positive youth, while advocating for condom use and presence of youth-friendly centers in her community to access reproductive health and HIV services.

Muscle Milk, Corvette top testing at Road Atlanta; Nissan DeltaWing crashesBy Staff CHESTNUT MOUNTAIN - Muscle Milk Pickett Racing was on the offensive at Road Atlanta on Wednesday as it set the fastest time in testing ahead of the 15th Annual Petit Le Mans powered by Mazda.
Saturday's 1,000-mile/10-hour race will decide the American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patrón's P1 championship between Muscle Milk and Dyson Racing. In GT, though Corvette Racing has already clinched the driver, team and manufacturer championships, but it showed no signs of laying low after it posted the quickest GT time in testing. Muscle Milk's No. 6 HPD ARX-03a with drivers Lucas Luhr, Klaus Graf and Romain Dumas behind the wheel topped the test session chart with a lap of 1:10.680 (129.372 mph), 0.296 seconds ahead of Rebellion Racing's No. 12 Lola B12/60-Toyota. Rebellion and its drivers, Andrea Belicchi, Neel Jani and Nicolas Prost are competing with a contingent of European Le Mans Series teams entered in the race. Dyson Racing was third quickest of the P1 entries. Chris Dyson, Guy Smith and Steven Kane entered a 1:11.851 (127.263 mph) in the No. 16 Mazda-powered Lola B12/60. Corvette Racing showed it's out to win Petit Le Mans, even after clinching the GT titles at VIRginia International Raceway in September. The team's No. 4 Corvette C6 ZR1 driven by Oliver Gavin, Tommy Milner and Richard Westbrook laid down the fastest GT lap of the day, a 1:19.991 (114.313 mph). ELMS visitor Oak Racing was tops in P2. Clocking a 1:13.270 (124.799 mph), the No. 35 Morgan-Nissan driven by Jacques Nicolet, Bertrand Baguette and Olivier Pla barely edged Level 5 Motorsports' No. 055 HPD ARX-03b by 0.14 seconds. Level 5 is in a head-to-head battle with Conquest Endurance for the ALMS' P2 championship. Driver/owner Scott Tucker has pulled out all the stops to ensure victory, bringing in four-time IndyCar champion Dario Franchitti plus his younger brother, sports car hot shoe Marino, to co-drive. The 1:13.414 (124.554 mph) put in by Level 5 was 0.740 seconds quicker than Conquest Endurance's No. 37 Morgan-Nissan with drivers David Heinemeier-Hansson and Martin Plowman. Though running unclassified, the Nissan DeltaWing's quickest lap of 1:13.686 (124.094 mph) placed it between the top two P2 times. The team experienced shades of the 24 Hours of Le Mans shortly before the close of the combined test session when the experimental car made contact with Green Hornet Racing's No. 34 GTC Porsche. The contact sent the No. 0 DeltaWing off track and on its side with Gunnar Jeannette behind the wheel. The damage appeared significant, but the team expects to have the car back on track Thursday. "Not the best of practice sessions, unfortunately," Jeannette said. "Everything was going well. (Co-driver) Lucas (Ordoñez) had a good run. All of the changes we have been making have been positive. I followed a GTC car through [turns] 10a and 10b, and in following the car I fully expected that he saw me. I had a run on him exiting 10b before the bridge and pulled almost completely past. He cut over to take the apex and made heavy contact with the left-rear of our car that sent me for a bit of a ride. Luckily, the guys built a very strong car. While the damage looks to be bad in photographs, the car took the impact quite well. We have all the spare parts to fix it and we have an excellent crew that are already going to work and almost have all the damaged parts off it already."

I like to tweet a lot about stuff, so follow me on Twitter if you can put up with my ramblings.
To cut a long story short, I began taking adult oil painting classes when I was 6 years old. I have been an artist my whole life. While in high school I would paint original abstract works and sell my paintings as Christmas gifts. Also in high school I worked as a Mechanical Drafter for 3 years.
My father used to do freelance photography work when I was a child. He often took me with him on his shoots and spent a lot of time with him in the darkroom (back in the film days) where I developed my love for photography. I have worked professionally for several local musicians and artists taking shots for their portfolio and publicity.
I began designing websites in 2006, which allows me to merge my love for design, art and photography all in one place.
I hope you enjoy my portfolio of work and send me a message if you like what you see.

Crap. Lefty Lucie the Topspin Queen.
She got waxed by Keys in Brisbane, yes, but she's currently at her career high ranking, so let's not kid ourselves.
Miki's wonky backhand will have to be perfect and so will her timing, 'cuz the only way she can even make an impression on Safarova is by taking everything early/on-the-rise. Their Charleston encounter was a disaster.
Shit. Well, anything can happen in tennis. Safarova has proved to be vulnerable to hard, flat hitters in the past, and she can go on error-sprees herself.
Mirjana has nothing to lose, but it would be nice if she could put together some vintage shotmaking.
She'll need it. Along with a lefty practice-partner the next few days.
GL, no matter what.

Importance of Sunspot Study
Name: Adonis Status: other Grade: other Location: NV Country: N/A Date: N/A
Why is so important to review the sunspots? What happens if two of these spots come together?
Dear Adonis,
A very good question. We study the sunspots because they are a very good indicator of how active the Sun is. A large group of sunspot means that there may be other things and events going on as well, like flares and prominences. If two spots come together (it happened today! 17.December.2009) then they simply make one bigger spot.
All the best
David H. Levy
The main reason for observing sunspot activity, nowadays, is that it can interfere with power grids and sensitive equipment on board satellites. Previously, it was the fact that we did not know much about the Sun that we studied it. A hundred years ago, we did not even know that the Sun was nuclear-powered.
Sunspots appear in regions, and they can merge quite easily WITHIN their respective regions. However, there are only a few cases of regions merging. In most cases (>95%), regions do avoid each other. This is because they are magnetic. If two regions are north and south of each other, and in the same hemisphere, then there would be a rather distinct clear area between them. It is only when regions are end-on when the trailing spots of one can 'intermingle' with the leading spots of the other region, but this rarely happens. I can only think of two cases in the last 30 years.
Howard Barnes,
Solar astronomer.
Here is an on-line article that will tell you pretty much all you need to know about sun spots. You can also pursue the subject deeper using your search engines on the Happy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunspot#Physics
Sunspots are electromagnetic (EM) storms on the surface of the sun that spew large amounts of highly energetic sub-atomic particles into space. We need to monitor sunspots because sunspots effect all things electric and our world is becoming more and more dependent on electrical systems to run our daily lives and run critical systems that we depend on. We have experienced sunspot events that break our communications links by frying satellites, communications switching nodes, and disrupting the ionosphere (which we use to propagate radio signals in the High Frequency (HF) radio spectrum of 3 MHz - 30 MHz) and by causing power surges on electrical power lines that trip circuit breakers. They also pose a danger to astronauts in space.
So we need to learn more about sunspots, perhaps how to predict them, learn more about what they are, and how to build our systems so they are protected against the EM effects of sunspots. Maybe one day in the future, you will be able to figure out a way to exploit the energy transmitted to us by sunspots.
Sincere regards,
Mike Stewart
