Thu 2 Jul 2009
I derive unseemly amusement from the pronouncements I read that the Fourth of July, our most important national holiday and ritual, requires hearty doses of "that All-American wine, zinfandel."
Friends (and colleagues), zinfandel is about as American as figgy pudding. Or, to keep on topic, as American as cabernet sauvignon, merlot, pinot noir, syrah and, um, alicante bouschet, all grapes that came to the New World from Europe. Years of research and, more recently, cogent DNA testing revealed that zinfandel didn't, like Topsy, just magically grow in North America. It's the same grape as primitivo, which grows in Italy's Pulgia region (and where it has been revived because of the interest in zinfandel wines made in California). Zinfandel/primitivo are related to — but are not the same as — the plavac mali grape of Dalmatia and the islands of Croatia. How American is that?
It's true that the zinfandel grape reaches its apotheosis of greatness in certain parts of California, but the Golden State also provides zinfandels that plumb the depths of the grape's weaknesses and Bad Boy attributes.
Anyway, go ahead and drink zinfandel on July the Fourth if you want, I don't care, I might crack open a bottle myself if I can find an example that doesn't overpower my pizza with cloying over-ripeness and towering alcohol — July 4th coincides with Pizza and Movie Night at our house — but if you really want to drink American, go to a farm or local winery and buy some scuppernog or muscadine wine. Thomas Jefferson may have brought fine European wines to these shores, but the common folk of the new country were drinking wine made from native grapes. They may be floral, they may be musky and foxy, they may be weirdly spicy, they may taste like sweet gasoline, but they're All-American in a sense that zinfandel can never be. Nobody ever said it was easy to be American.
(O.K., just a sip. And don't spit it out, you Europe-centric merlot-lovers.)

Most US Christians define own theology
More than half say other faiths can also lead to salvation.
SOURCE: Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life/Rich Clabaugh/STAFF
American individualism has made its imprint on Christianity.
A sizable majority of the country's faithful no longer hew closely to orthodox teachings, and look more to themselves than to churches or denominations to define their religious convictions, according to two recent surveys. More than half of all Christians also believe that some non-Christians can get into heaven.
"Growing numbers of people now serve as their own theologian-in-residence," said George Barna, president of Barna Group, on releasing findings of one of the polls on Jan. 12.
In the Barna survey, 71 percent of American adults say they are more likely to develop their own set of religious beliefs than to accept a defined set of teachings from a particular church. Even among born-again Christians, 61 percent pick and choose from the beliefs of different denominations. For people under the age of 25, the number rises to 82 percent.
Many "cafeteria Christians" go beyond the teachings of Christian denominations to embrace parts of other world religions.
Half of Americans also believe that Christianity is now just one of many faith options people can choose from (44 percent disagree with that perception). Residents of the Northeast and West were more likely than those in the South and Midwest to say Christianity has lost its status as the favored American religion.
Christians expressed a variety of unorthodox beliefs in the poll. Nearly half of those interviewed do not believe in the existence of Satan, one-third believe Jesus sinned while on earth, and two-fifths say they don't have a responsibility to share their faith with others.

Williams are back. After an eight year dry spell, and off the back of a particularly frugal season last year, the British team have tasted victory once again thanks to Pastor Maldonado in Spain at the weekend. Although the subsequent fire in their garage took the shine off the celebrations, Williams chief operations engineer, Mark Gillan, couldnt be happier with Maldonados excellent performance. Gillan reviews the Barcelona race, discusses the latest on the fire and reflects on what the team need to do to claim a 115th win
Q: Mark, how much satisfaction do you derive from Pastor Maldonados victory in the Spanish Grand Prix?
MG: This is a massive result for Williams and of course it is incredibly satisfying, especially given the tribulations of the 2011 season. However, this business is all about continuous improvement and it is important that we continue to deliver.
Q: How would you describe Maldonado's personal performance in qualifying and the race?
MG: Simply stunning - a master class from start to finish. He was strong all weekend, winning the race from pole despite a strong challenge from Alonso. One can't ask any more from a driver.
Q: Going into the race weekend, were you confident that the FW34 was a race-winning package?
MG: We were confident that the FW34 was an improved package but of course you never know what upgrades other teams have made for their European upgrade packages.
Q: Maldonado did 25 laps on his final set of tyres. How critical was tyre wear during the race?
MG: Managing tyre degradation was the key to the race, so a long final stint was a calculated strategy decision, but we were reasonably confident based on our Friday data that this stint length was possible.
Q: Bruno Senna struggled for pace relative to Maldonado. Did he have any particular technical issues?
MG: No there were no technical issues with the car.
Q: After the race a fire broke out in the Williams pit. First, is everyone okay? Second, do you know what caused it? Third, what was the extent of the damage?
MG: I would like to reiterate our thanks to everyone in the paddock who helped the Williams team on Sunday to control the fire. There were a number of people who attended the circuit medical centre, mostly as the result of smoke inhalation. One team member remains in hospital having suffered burns, but he is in a stable condition and in good spirits and has returned to England today for further medical care. Investigations into the actual cause of the fire are ongoing and are being performed in collaboration with the local authorities and the FIA. The extent of the damage is still being assessed and will not become fully clear until both the cars and equipment have returned to the factory. What is clear is that our garage IT equipment and infrastructure have been badly damaged.
Q: Monaco comes next. What chance is there that Williams can score its first win in the Principality since 2003?
MG: On the back of a win we go to Monaco with high hopes but there is a prodigious amount of work to be done prior to the event to recover from the fire.

Many kids grow up dreaming of pop stardom, and in Miami it's no different. But for some, the route to the business leads them straight into our region's fertile Latin music scene, where young aspiring pop singers are groomed from childhood to become the future stars of the Spanish-speaking world.
For Coral Gables-based singer/songwriter Daniel René, this was exactly his goal from an early age. "Some people may think of my music genre as bubblegum, but Spanish pop is the best way for me to release whatever I need to say. I love the passion of the language," says René. "In Spanish there are millions of different ways to say the words I love you. And of course, Miami is the best city in the world for the Latino market."
He should know. At age 25, he is already a veteran of the ultra-competitive world of Latin pop. In 1998 he joined legendary boy band Menudo as lead singer, scoring international hits like "No Puedo Olvidarme de Ti" and "Háblame de Amor" for the teen group's MDO comeback album.
His recent duet with teen chanteuse Sherry, "El Amor," is the number one single in Guatemala. And René just released his sophomore album, Adicto, a multigenre record that finds him covering everything from high-energy pop to romantic ballads to reggaeton. Also he recently landed a coveted role as a supporting character in Telemundo's new hit soap opera Pecados Ajenos.
Even so, the road to Latin pop celebrity has not been an entirely smooth one for Réne. In an industry well known for manufacturing teen idols — where songs are commonly commissioned to professional writers — René has labored to find his own voice and identity. "I tried out the Menudo stuff and I gave it 110 percent," he says. "And although I was happy doing it at the time, I just can't imagine myself singing that type of music for the rest of my life."
It's a cool and breezy recent November night. René is spirited as he sits at the outdoor café of Books & Books in Coral Gables. Wearing a black T-shirt, blue jeans, and a black vest, René still holds on to the looks of a young idol. "Finally I'm happy with what I get to sing everyday," he says, taking a sip of red wine.
Born in Houston and raised from age one in Miami, René took his first steps in show biz as a child model, posing for Macy's, Tommy Hilfiger, and Ray Ban advertising campaigns. "Modeling was an easy way to get in front of the cameras and learn how to be comfortable meeting new people," he says. Although he was successful at it, he was fascinated by musical artists like Mexican pop star Luis Miguel. It wasn't long before the young hopeful began to take singing lessons and was accepted at Miami's celebrated New World School of the Arts.
Around that time, the perennial Latin boy band Menudo was recruiting new members for a revamped version, called MDO. So René auditioned. Impressed by his talent, the group's founder, Edgardo Diaz, offered him a position on the spot.
"Me and my family didn't know about the controversies surrounding Menudo," says René, referring to a sex scandal concerning Diaz and the arrest of two group members at Miami International Airport for marijuana possession.
What René did know was that Menudo served as the catalyst for the careers of Robby Rosa and Ricky Martin. "For me, Menudo was a stepping stone; in the end, it's an incredible opportunity for a young artist," says René. "I'll never forget my first performance with the group. It was in Lima, Peru, in a stadium in front of thousands. I couldn't see the end of the field. It was crazy."
Fuelled by the dance single "No Puedo Olvidarme de Ti," the MDO album propelled the group back to the top of the charts across Latin America. Even so, René left the band on good terms in 1999, after just one album.
But breaking into the Latin music business can be a daunting task for a solo artist. Record companies, producers, and songwriters tightly control most of the industry, which resembles the Brill Building era of music-making, with its highly calibrated star development. René had a plan, though. "When I was 11 years old, I was doing voice-overs for radio commercials, and by chance, [producer] Emilo Estefan happened to be there in the studio," he recalls. "I took the opportunity to sing for him, and he told me to call him when I was older and ready."
After more than five months of calling Estefan, René secured an audition at the producer's famed Crescent Studios. Although he was incredibly nervous, he remembers, once again he was offered a recording contract on the spot.
Joining the Emilio Estefan roster was no small feat. At the time René was signed, Estefan was in the process of recording Shakira's English-language debut, Laundry Service. And of course, Estefan's magic touch had catapulted the careers of his wife, Gloria, as well as that of Jon Secada, into the stratosphere. All was set, and arrangements for René's debut album were made. But after three years of choosing and recording songs with many of the industry's top songwriters, René had a change of heart.

NJ Jobless Rate Falls To 9.3 Percent In February
By ANGELA DELLI SANTI
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) â¿¿ New Jersey's jobless rate dropped by two-tenths to 9.3 percent in February, according to preliminary figures released Thursday.
The state Labor Department reported that employers added 12,900 workers to their payrolls for the month. Higher employment levels were recorded in both the private and public sectors.
The state unemployment rate, however, remained well above the federal rate, which fell by one-tenth to 7.7 percent in February.
Adjusted figures show New Jersey's unemployment rate has not been below 9 percent since May 2009, when Democrat Jon Corzine was governor and Republican Chris Christie was campaigning to unseat him. Charles Steindel, chief economist for now-Gov. Christie, touted the most recent report as further evidence that jobs are being created in the state. "This is another solid jobs report that continues the general, upward trend of growth and progress established under the Christie administration, bringing the number of private-sector jobs added under this administration to 120,000," Steindel said. But Sen. Barbara Buono, the Democratic gubernatorial candidate, said the report illustrates New Jersey's continuing unemployment crisis. She said the 430,000 jobless residents represent "an unacceptably high number," and blamed Christie for vetoing a bipartisan jobs-creation package. "The governor has vetoed legislation that would have created good-paying jobs across the state without offering any plan of his own," she said. One of the vetoed bills was sponsored by Buono, and would have encouraged partnerships between New Jersey-based pharmaceutical companies and other industries and colleges and universities. Job gains were posted in education and health services, information, and leisure and hospitality, among other sectors. Job losses were reported in trade, transportation and utilities, financial activities, construction and manufacturing. Public-sector employment gained 5,800 positions, with federal, state and local governments all showing gains. January's jobs numbers were revised downward to show a loss of 2,200 jobs from December to January.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Computershare's profit falls 10.4pc
PUBLISHED: 10 Aug 2011 09:41:00 | UPDATED: 11 Aug 2011 03:52:32PRINT EDITION: 10 Aug 2011
Computershare's full-year profit fell by 10.4 per cent as the share registry services provider said it was cautious because of the current market volatility.
Net profit fell to $264.09 million for the 12 months to June 30, from $294.76 million a year earlier, Melbourne-based Computershare said in a statement on Wednesday.
Revenue was flat from a year earlier at $1.604 billion.
The company declared a final dividend of 14 cents a share, 60 per cent franked, unchanged from a year earlier.
The company said it was even more cautious about guidance than usual because it was hard to know how long the current market volatility would last and what sort of an effect it would have.
"A week ago, we would have said that we do not expect management eps [earnings per share] results from Computershare's current portfolio of businesses in FY12 [financial 2012] to be significantly different from those achieved in FY11," the company said.
"That guidance would have assumed that equity, interest rate and FX [foreign exchange] market conditions remain broadly consistent with then current levels for the rest of the financial year, an assumption that is no longer valid."
Earnings per share in 2010-11 fell 10.4 per cent to 47.53 cents and management earnings per share declined 3.7 per cent to 55.67 cents.
Computershare said that in the past, high levels of volatility and uncertainty had been followed by quite strong activity levels in a range of the company's businesses, as equity raisings and chapter 11 bankruptcy administration replaced dealing, public offer and merger activity.
"Of course, it is by no means certain that will be the case this time," the company said.
Computershare would update the market on its view of the outlook at the annual general meeting in November.
Computershare chief executive Stuart Crosby said that generally subdued and market activity levels reflected a difficult environment.
"Despite these headwinds the company still managed a satisfactory result, just shy of the record earnings delivered last year," he said.
"Strong performances from businesses that are not exposed to equity market cycles, such as voucher services and the deposit protection scheme in the UK, and corporate trust in Canada – evidence our success in moving into new verticals."
Mr Crosby said takeovers by Computershare during 2010-11 returned to more typical levels. The proposed purchase of BNY Mellon's shareowner services business was the largest yet by the company.
Shares in Computershare added five cents, or 0.71 per cent, to $7.14 by 10.11am AEST, as the broader market gained 2.6 per cent.

It would have been better if the physician explained in more detail about his diagnosis of my problem, which he said was arthritis in my lower back based on the MRI. I did not know whether I should see an arthritis doctor or what my options were. He seemed to be in a hurry, but would have been better if he gave more detail about my condition.
At the end of the visit I asked so what should I do? His response was inappropriate.
Will recommend all drs., PA, nurses to friends.
would and have recommend Dr. Syed and the entire office to others ! Is there any other spine center that shows as much care, concern and compassion? Not in my book !!!!!!!!

Calvin Klein had gotten itself into trouble again with its new steamy TV ads featuring Eva Mendes for its latest fragrance, Secret Obsession. The current brouhaha is that the American networks refused to accept the ads because they're too revealing in the bust area.
Personally, it was great to see Calvin pushing the envelope again because it reminded me of the good old days when a big Calvin Klein advertising controversy became page one news.
I covered the media and advertising beat for WWD in the Nineties, and hardly a season would go by where there wasn't a huge flap over Klein's latest campaign. When Klein's people would call to talk about the new ads, I knew there'd be a lot more to it than just looking at pretty pictures.
I'll never forget in 1995 when they sent over the CK Jeans ads with teenagers striking suggestive poses in a fake wood-paneled basement, and the accompanying TV commercial with an older guy asking provocative questions to these teens. The effect resembled an audition for a low-budget porn movie. Those ads caused a firestorm, and were rejected by the networks and investigated by the Justice Department on whether they could be considered child pornography. But the upshot was that it created a frenzy at retail. I recall Kal Ruttenstein, the late senior vice president, fashion direction at Bloomingdale's, telling me that after Klein pulled the ad campaign, the New York flagship sold out of 95 percent of its CK Jeans shipment.
The underwear campaigns had the same effect. What was always an eye-opening exercise was when I called ad professionals to get comments on Klein's ads -- whether they viewed them as controversial, shocking or simply a publicity stunt.
I remember Sam Shahid, who used to run Klein's in-house ad agency, commenting on some controversial underwear ads that were created after he was no longer in charge. One 1995 ad, in particular, caused a firestorm with Klein's Underwear license owner, Linda Wachner, then chairman of Warnaco. She was adamant in having the underwear ads in question pulled after they appeared, unbeknownst to her, in Playboy and Esquire. The ads showed a hunky 20-year-old Joel West sitting spread eagle in his Calvin Klein skivvies. Shahid at the time remarked, "It's sexy, it's straightforward and it's out there. Calvin will get attacked no matter what he does right now. The model has a great body and it's hot and it's about underwear. Calvin built the whole thing on this. That's why guys will wear it. They feel sexy and great. You go to the gym and every guy has it on."
Was it any wonder that Klein's jeans business and underwear business were huge successes in the Nineties? These envelope-pushing campaigns helped Klein become a household name, and sold hundreds of millions of dollars worth of merchandise. Although Klein was designing a beautiful (noncontroversial) designer collection, he became world renowned for his jeans, underwear and fragrances -- in which provocative, often incredibly sexy advertising, played a huge role.
"If I were a cynic, I'd say, 'Calvin got more than his share of publicity before, and he's attempting to get even more of his share of publicity this time,'" adman David Altschiller once told me after the shocking underwear ads appeared right after the "porn" accusations. Altschiller personally thought the underwear ads were a total turnoff, but conceded, "Being outrageous and anti-establishment makes him sexy, hip and an icon to young people. He [Calvin] says, 'I'll show blue-haired ladies what I think of this outrage.' The irony, of course, is he'll sell underwear."
And he did. Tons of it.

I'm a T1 with a Medtronic Paradigm. I use the Bolus Wizard and don't think much about how I'm taking.
Once in a while, I check my totals:
Main Menu > Utilities > Daily Totals
My lowest daily total was 40u. My highest was 85u. Monthly avg. was about 55. The numbers surprise me.
I am curious. How much do others pump?
I use between 30 and 40 units a day, depending on food and excersize. I have been d for 35 years, pumping with an Animas 2020 for the past 5 years.
I met with the Medtronic CDE about 3 months ago. She pulled my readings from the carelink USB, and made a bunch of changes to my sensitivity, carb ratio, and basal, for different hours, of the day. She seemed knowledgeable. The problem is that my BS's have been very erratic, since then. My set Basal varied from 0.8u - 3.0u. This seems problematic. I reset all of my settings, more or less averaged them out, removing time changes.
I'm half way through the 4th edition of Pumping Insulin by John Walsh. Everyone else seems to love it, but I'm finding it absolutely unreadable. It is like a combination of every pamphlet, brochure, instruction manual and algebra text book that I've seen. I discover about 1 useful paragraph per 50 pages. Is it just me?
I seem to be pretty stable, pumping 1.1u /hr.
Minimed Revel - range from 14 units (lowest on a very active day) to 30 units. Depends on level of activity and number of carbs eaten (obviously).
Mine is ranges from .6 to 1.1 over 24 hours. TTD ends up around 36 units of Novolog. I am 44 yrs old 6' and 180 lbs. In good shape. Run and cycle for exercise. Best Regards ,Mike
Thanks to everyone for sharing their stats. After some tweaking, my BGs are beginning to stabilize. Right now, I'm cutting out a lot of carbs and pumping 30 - 45u.
I average 35 to 50 units per day, depending on what I'm eating.
Recently, though, I had a cortisone shot and had to increase my basals by 50%, so I'm changing the site like every 2 days instead of 3 1/2. It's finally starting to normalize, though.
apparently 35-50 units...
i eat too many carbs though apparently >_/p>
Last week: 25 - 45u / day. Down to about 35g carb. Much tighter control.

2013, 110 Minute Running Time
One Night Only! Saturday April 19th at 9:30pm. One of the undisputed Chinese masters of offbeat comedy, Stephen Chow returns with an action-packed love story about competing demon hunters vying for the same conquests. The bumbling Tang Sanzang is ambitious and eager to prove himself, and sets off into the world to encounter a vicious array of monsters in all shapes and sizes. Failing miserably at his demon-conquering quest, the unequipped Tang is continuously forced to turn to the beautiful and mysterious Miss Duan for assistance. But it becomes abundantly clear that Miss Duan has her own motivations for helping Tang.

This paper describes a pilot study conducted in a classroom environment, in a local school over a three-week period. It compared the effect of two types of educational software in mathematics with a traditional approach on the learning outcome of a group of Key Stage 2 and Year 5 children. The children were exposed to two different types of software that dealt with the same subject matter in mathematics, data handling. A pre-test/post test design was used in order to assess the learning outcome. The results of this pilot study revealed statistically no significant difference in learning across the groups. However, the study did highlight a number of methodological issues that are discussed in this paper.

FOO! Today is Bill Holman's Birthday!
Today is the birth date of the guy who represents "Arf†in all its Arfness. If there was ever an Arf poster child it is Bill Holman the creator of the ultimate in cartoon surrealism, the Smokey Stover comic strip. I was privileged to get to become friends with Bill and to interview him in the last years of his life. Bill's nephew Victor has put together a foo-tastic website devoted to all things Holman.
There was an artist and model cartoon by Bill in Modern Arf and this Spooky strip below is gonna be in Arf Museum in the "Field Trip: Cartoonists Visit the Art Museum†section which is a bunch of strips and cartoons about going to the art museum by Charles Addams, Frank King, Patrick McDonnell, Otto Soglow, Billy Debeck, Chester Gould..and Hugh Hefner (?!).
There is also a gag cartoon by Bill in the Arf Museum "Tattoons†section. There Bill is joined by Dan DeCarlo to T.S. Sullivant. More about the "Tattoons" section including some outtakes in a future Arf Lovers. Meaniewhile here's Holman's wild pussy…
One of the future Arfs will have a whole giant section on Bill "Scat†Holman filled with some of the wonderful and rare ephemera he gave me for that purpose.The photo leading off this post is one (wonderful) example. And I'll reveal the secret Bill shared with me of "Foo". "Foo" was the term Bill's term peppered into his strips that eventually became the basis for the name of the group "Foo Fighters". Speaking of our FAVORITE "Foo Fighter", Smokey Stover, below is the limited edition statue that YOE! Studio created for our friends at Dark Horse Comics.

Business heavily damaged by fire in Port Trevorton
PORT TREVORTON — A large fire heavily damaged part of the Keller's Marine business in Port Trevorton Friday morning. The three-alarm fire started around 8:30 a.m. in the roof of one building and then quickly spread.
More than 20 volunteer fire companies from three counties responded and were on the scene into the afternoon. There were no injuries reported. The business is owned by G. Michael and Michelle Keller and sells and services boats. The business has been in Port Trevorton for 55 years and there are 75 workers at the site on Main Street.
Firefighters were evacuated from the burning building for safety reasons. It took about 5 hours to extinguish the blaze and Routes 11 and 15 had to be shut down for a time to bring tanker trucks to the scene of the fire. (Ali Stevens)

France coach Philippe Saint-Andre believes there is still room for improvement following his team's 30-10 Six Nations victory over Italy on Sunday.
The hosts went into the break 9-3 up at the Stade de France after an error-strewn display from both sides, with 16 penalties conceded, yet only four were successfully converted to points.
However, a devastating nine-minute spell to start the second half saw France home and dry as No 8 Louis Picamoles, centre Wesley Fofana and winger Hugo Bonneval all crossed to give Saint-Andre's side breathing space.
Scrum-half Jean-Marc Doussain kicked three conversions to add to his three first-half penalties, while Italy could only muster a late consolation try from Tommaso Ianonne, despite dominating possession throughout the second period.
The closing stages of the match were marred by two red cards as Jaco Peyper sent off substitute props Michele Rizzo and Rabah Slimani following a scrum melee.
Victory means France equal Ireland's unbeaten start to the tournament after two rounds of action, but with a trip to Cardiff to face defending champions Wales after the week-long break, Saint-Andre acknowledged his side must sustain their quality throughout.
"We worked well for 55-60 minutes," he said. "We scored three tries, but did nothing in the final 20 minutes. There were lots of penalties for both sides and two red cards.
"It was a good 60 minutes, but very disappointing for the last 20. We didn't have any ball."
Post-match discussions are likely to centre around the South African official's decision to dismiss both Rizzo and Slimani, making them the first to see red in a Six Nations match since 2006, when Scotland lock Scott Murray was sent off in Wales.
Italy forward Rizzo started the skirmish with a head-butt, and when Slimani reacted in similar fashion Peyper brandished red cards after conferring with his assistant Craig Joubert and consulting television replays.
Asked about the sendings-off, Saint-Andre remained coy, insisting he must consult the footage before passing judgement.
It meant France were briefly reduced to 13 players following the sin-binning of lock Sebastien Vahaamahina for kicking the ball away.
"The yellow card was very harsh," Saint-Andre added. "The red cards, I think there was a scrum and something dodgy. I just prefer to see the three good tries we scored.
"Last week, the beginning of the second-half against England was terrible, so we were very focused to start well in the second-half."
Strange feeling
Defeat for Italy leaves them bringing up the rear with fellow winless side Scotland and their head coach Jacques Brunel was left feeling his side deserved more from the game.
With neither side able to assert their dominance in the first period, Italy's deficit stood at a manageable six points at the interval.
However, a number of handling errors and infringements opened the door for France, who seized their opportunities.
The majority of the second period was played out in the France half with Italy far superior on territory count, but Brunel was left lamenting a sloppy 10 minutes.
"It's a strange feeling, because for 60 or 70 minutes we were close to France's level and at times even got on top," the Italy coach said.
"But those 10 minutes or so (in the second half) totally changed the game."

text: W E L C O M E Kick Butt BBQ has gone cyber, and created a website to keep folks informed of what is happening, manage the demand for sauce and meat orders, and post pictures. ORIGIN OF 'Kick Butt BBQ' I get asked all the time 'how did you come up with the name - Kick Butt BBQ'. Well, here is the story... My friend Terry Paxton & I had the grand idea of competing in the American Royal, and conned one of my previous employers into sponsoring the event. So, the corporate types came up with a name reflective of the company - 'BBQ Solutions' (they were a Microsoft consulting practice). Anyway, after competing under that name for a couple years, I parted ways (not by choice) with the company and did not really want to carry on such a lame team name. So, we were tossing around ideas for names (many of which were not acceptable to our spouses). My daughter, Emma (then 5), said - 'Dad, your BBQ kicks butt!'. And that my friends is how we got our name - from a sweet innocent 5 year old girl. |

Look, I myself have instances of fumblefingers, and I make typos from time to time. I'm no stickler for Oxford English and I pepper my writing with colloquialisms. I use "ain't" and "gonna" and "hopefully" (which technically should be "one hopes"). Occasionally, I'll even say "anxious" when I should say "eager" (to be anxious is to be suffering from anxiety, not full of anticipation).
However, there seem to be two categories of people who don't know how to spell, to puncuate, or form actual sentences. 1) Hillbillies playing a banjo out on some Appalachian porch or 2) people under the age of 30.
Did the schools stop teaching English? Did it become an optional course in high school? Were the kids skipping class in favor of smoking dope? Is it too much texting? What's going on here?
By cracky (LOL), back in my day we graduated students prepared for college. Today many good institutions of higher education spend the first year bringing the students up to speed on skills they should have learned in high school.
The list omits "rite" and "right"; I am seeing "right of passage" (for "rite of passage") or "last rights" a lot lately, for some reason.
That first one cracked me up!
I have rarely run into an instance where keeping a comma between the last two items creates misunderstanding rather than preventing it.
I agree! I just didn't know until now that it's related to Oxford.
But I disagree with the standard placement of a period within parentheses (unlike in here), e.g. near the end of a sentence (like in here.)
(Am I wrong? I don't remember exactly where I've seen its less logical placement (or its illogical, displacement?).)
( Meanwhile, yes, I am aware that sometimes I use too many of these ( ). )
[And please, take this sentence/paragraph out of context.]
The rule I learned was dependent upon whether the parens contained an entire sentence or was at the end of a larger sentence. I'm not sure I expressed that well. A couple examples might be better. These are two correct placements of periods in regard to parens.
(However, I think Kate Middleton is far more beautiful than her sister Pippa.)
Of course, I think Kate Middleton is prettier than her sister Pippa (but what do I know?).
As I understand it, you're your examples are correct. :)
Quotes go by totally different rules that quite frankly, make no damn sense to me, but I recognize they are rules and I usually try to follow them unless I think that doing so will positively mislead readers.
A lot of the rules of language come down to "just because" and aren't supported by a body of logical syllogisms. Spelling used to be haphazard, but it became obvious that the lack of standards led to ambiguities, and so we got dictionaries. In common discourse, iusually matters little, but in the world of business, in academia, in law, and in science, being clear and precise is very very important, a concept that is lost on a lot of people who are unprepared to enter a world where a linguistic mistake can have consequences in terms of a lost sale, a bungled order, wasted money, or a lawsuit, which is not to mention being fired or having one's career laying in ruins.
I sold a house once, nine years ago. The appraisal came in low and my realtor decided to challenge it by writing a letter explaining all the things about the house that made it attractive. The problem was, he was one of those clowns who uses quotes to denote emphasis. So my house had an allegedly new roof, alleged central air conditioning, alleged new paint on the exterior, was allegedly clean, etc. etc. to any literate person who read his letter.
I was furious until I figured out what he was doing. I only hope the purchaser figured out what he meant. He was the first person I ever saw use quotes for emphasis. Now I notice it everywhere.
Use quotes for quoting. Or at the very least, in a sarcastic sense, when you are saying "someone else might say this but I wouldn't." Like referring to creationist "logic."
Someone was sleeping or texting through English class, if not skipping it.
I'll be checking my writings now to see if I am one of these "clowns". (Please don't tell me. I like to discover surprises on my own.)
That makes sense. Not sure where I saw the illogical placement then, unless I was thinking of quotes (as SteveInCO mentions).

RockShow Threesome: The Best Way To Deal With "Found Money"
Have you ever fantasized about finding a bunch of cash? Are you one of those people who would return it, return it and hope for a reward or keep it? Well if you return it, the reason you probably returned it is you didn't want to screw someone else out of that money. For that reason, you need to take the money to the cops. More after the break.

Sunbathing only a few metres away from the buzz of the city is a privilege provided by the two kilometres of urban beaches in the city of A Coruña, also ideal for those who enjoy water sports.
Located near the Atlantic Ocean, A Coruña is a good destination for those who enjoy going to the beach without leaving the city. Despite not having warm water, like in other parts of Spain, and the wind can blow quite often, these are pleasant locations and easily accessibly by foot, public transports or driving. In the urban perimetre, there are over two kilometres of beaches, which are good for swimming and sunbathing, but also for water sports like surf, sailing, windsurfing, rowing and canoeing. The most famous beach is Riazor, close to the stadium of Deportivo. Quite busy during the summer months, it is approximately 600 metres wide and it is easily accessible by public transports and car, with a car park close by. It also benefits from several support and surveillance services. Among the largest and most popular in the area is the Orzán beach, framed by the buildings located near the Promenade. Matadero is another safe and surveilled beach, extremely well-located and with support services which guarantee comfort and security. Calmer and closer to the tower of Hercules is the Las Lapas beach. Going along the Promenade, you will reach the Adormideras area, where the San Amaro beach is located, with fine sand and protected from the wind and sun by rocks covered by plants. Out of town, we find the Los Castros and the Oza beach, well-suited for windy days. Bastiagueiro, Alba, the naturist beach of Combouzas and Barrañán, are only a few kilometres out of the city and allow a pleasant walk in the colder months or sunny days, during the summer.

In early comments on this board Rob is stated to like the party scene and Kristen is more low keyed. With Kristen (IMO) she was able to balance him out; he could have fun but not to go out of control on it. With Katy she loves the party scene so if Rob and Katy love it so much I hope his minders ensure that he does not fall into the trap that has destroyed others in the industry. Not sure if Rob will be another Leo D, or Vince Vaughn in regards to the party scene. Hopefully he can find someone that can balance him out. I guess we just have to wait and see.

I allways thought before, they are perfect for each other. Both imperfect on their own ways, but just perfect for each other. But no more. No more.
From last summer I watched what is going on, and I wondering and wondering more and more…
Good for Kristen she moved on. That is good for her development on many levels.
She was trapped in one bad relationship, from which he has not got what she needed.
Now she woke up and moved on. For her future I have not fear. She will grow up every day on each way. She has strong and great personality.
For Rob, I am not sure what future brings to him. After all it seems so that he is not so nice guy as everybody thought. Little bit I feel sorry for Rob.

HWL isn't the picture you have posted Kristen with the fan old. Don't you have any new pictures to post. She might look happy on the outside but it's what she is feeling inside that matters. I read and article on Beauty what ever and it was talking about Rob's DIOR ads and it also said that ROB miserable and depressed since his split from Kristen. If he is feeling like this why in the hell doesn't he talk to her. He is now saying that he has no friends in LA because the friends he did have are all Kristen's friends and his friends are in England. I just wish the pair of them would just sit down and communicate with each other. This is the only way they are going to resolve their problems before they go in different directions to film. Also saw on ROBSTEN Dreams that JJ Soria has been signed to star in Camp X-Ray with Kristen and he said he can't wait and that it was cool to be in Camp X-ray with Kristen. Saw a photo of him as well and he has a great body. Not sure if he looks Latino or Hispanic but who cares he looks great. He is apparently playing a character named RICO in Camp X-Ray. These pair really need to get their act together before it's to late for either of them. Sit and talk guys. Communication in a relationship is very important without it you have nothing. Communication is vital in any place whether it be home, work, Filming, school, sports, hospitals, doctors, no matter what without communication everyone would be at a loss. So learn to communicate.

Rob knows a lot of people in LA especially in the party circles because he goes out more than Kristen. He always has invitations to lots of events and house parties, and goes to clubs and bars. Kristen is more low key. It has only been for the past year or so that Kristen has been spending more time with her friends since she was so involved with Twilight and dedicated to Rob. It seems that Kristen's friends are not in show biz. I think Rob prefers A listers. Funny because haters used to make fun of Kristen by saying that she did not have any friends of her own because it was always Rob's friends who were around.
Posted at 4:36 AM on June 13, 2013
i think that you are wrong, pattinson has many friends in LA, they are at the clubs\bars and some resturants or somewhere..and i have to reminde you ,don't forget kATY PERRY,she is the best friend of pattinson for many years.so that means MR pattinson lie to media ,he is playing victim again as last July.
@os…………you are 1000% correct Pattinson is TRYING the victim game again but you can fool the public and the Fanbase only so many times, what he is trying now is to get sympathy from the Fanbase to sell Dior Men's Fragrance, but I am afraid he is going down this time with Dior in tow, because I have already since the announcement got rid of my Dior Make-up = Base plus eye shadows and Miss Dior Parfume already bought Channel again as long as he is Face of Dior I will not support Dior in any way because of that creep that is Pattinson

Kristen is such a "natural" in a land of phonies. Rob, your own insecurities are keeping you from a young woman who truly loves you. Yes, she made a terrible mistake and has paid such a terrible price. She's had people from all over the world down on her. Many, many people have done much worse yet look at the names she's been called. Look how brave she's been throughout all of this. How can you even think that she would know how to deal with a sleaze bag like Sanders? I just wish you two would get some professional help to work on your problems. I just can't see either of you with anybody else; not the same kind of love you two have.
Posted at 11:34 PM on June 12, 2013
She is a real person and very human like the rest of us. She does not project that hollywood fake image or persona. She is who she is and that is what I really like her. I admired how she bravely faced the bullying from haters and media which includes you Hollywood Lies last year. I am twice her age, I do not know if I could do that! More power Kristen! Move on upward and forward. Many people still love and support you!

The Medical Laboratory Technician program prepares students for employment as an MLT working in a clinical medical laboratory. Medical laboratory technicians (MLTs) perform a wide variety of routine laboratory procedures and work in both public and private laboratories serving the health care sector.
The MLT program is a two-year curriculum leading to the Associates in Science degree in Medical Laboratory Technician. Completion of pre-requisite courses will be required prior to entering the program. The program course of study is a combination of instruction in principles of laboratory theory and techniques as well as clinical experience at affiliated medical laboratories. Students learn to perform routine laboratory procedures in phlebotomy, microbiology, clinical chemistry, hematology, coagulation, immunology, and urinalysis. They also will learn to operate and maintain clinical laboratory equipment.
Graduates of the program qualify for national certification examinations sponsored by the American Society of Clinical Pathologists (ASCP) Board of Registry or by the American Association of Bioanalysts (ABB) Board of Registry to become state licensed medical laboratory technicians.
To apply, fill out the application below and include your prequisites and attach your "unofficial" transcripts. Your official transcripts need to be turned in to Admissions and Records before or at the time you apply.
You do not need a background check, physical, or insurance to apply.

Press Release: Bully Pulpit Games Announces Night Witches
Bully Pulpit Games Takes To The Air With "Night Witches"
New Tabletop RPG Shines Spotlight On Little-Known WW2 Story
Chapel Hill: Bully Pulpit Games is proud to announce their latest roleplaying game, Night Witches. The game focuses on female bomber pilots who flew for the Soviet Union during World War Two — the 588th Night Bomber Regiment, known to the Germans they harassed as "Night Witches". They flew primitive biplanes under cover of darkness in atrocious conditions. And for the 588th, it was a two-front war against Fascism and sexism; the Red Army had no interest in all-female units and wanted them to fail.
"I started working on Night Witches in 2007," said game designer Jason Morningstar, "But didn't really have the tools back then to do justice to these women's stories. When Vincent Baker's excellent Apocalypse World came out, I immediately saw a framework for Night Witches that put fiction first and allowed for the right mix of realism, action and pathos." With Baker's permission, the core of the game is "Powered by the Apocalypse" but extensively modified to reflect the setting.
Like his previous game set during World War Two, the Diana Jones Award winning Grey Ranks, Morningstar chose to illuminate an almost-forgotten corner of the conflict. Extensive research, including access to the first-person accounts of former Night Witches, brings an air of authenticity to the project. The simple and elegant mechanics are easy and approachable, and the sheer scope of heroism and audacity that surrounds the Night Witches promises many hours of exciting play.

They're probably going to lose against Memphis, but Cleveland at home should be a win. Dallas and Golden State are toss-ups right now, but they should at least be up to 7-13 by the end of game 20.
Good idea for a poll. Bad choice not making votes public. We need to have the ability to humiliate people when they make stupid predictions.
I picked whatever you did (was it 5-15?) so unless you're a self-flogger I should be OK. Is it possible to change the default settings for the poll stuff to public? Unless maybe we're voting someone off the forum what reason is there to have a non-public one? It's an internet forum.
This is good. He is no Jack London, but still: During the 2003 Iraq War, he started touring with the United Service Organizations to entertain troops overseas while remaining against the war, leading him to once cause a stir at a base in Kyrgyzstan when he told the crowd: "Your commander would never lie to you. That's the vice president's job."[59 Henry Rollins - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The irony is that this is a bimodal distribution. If you combine the collective intelligence of both of the optimists and pessimists (and even if you remove the silly outliers), then you have a fully functioning prediction machine - the average was 6.25 wins, which was a great guess.
Well, the Pistons ended up 6-14. Since it wasn't a public poll, I am going to claim congratulations to myself for correctly predicting 6-14.
Actually, I subscribed and took screenshots every time I got a notification. You picked 11 wins. I stored all of that information on backup tapes, but I don't keep tapes anymore since I converted to digital. You'll have to trust me on that.
You took your kid to a Sesame Street show while on ice? That sounds like a bad influence on a kid, not to mention dangerous.
Oh no no no, CJ. It was an ice skating show featuring Sesame Street characters. ...And my daughter (4 yrs old at the time) and I took a whole bunch of mushrooms which made the show freaking amazing! Watching Cookie Monster's face melt with my daughter was a bonding experience that both of us will never forget.

Trials and Errors: Why Science Is Failing Us
- |
- 3:24 pm |
- Permalink
The problem with this assumption, however, is that causes are a strange kind of knowledge. This was first pointed out by David Hume, the 18th-century Scottish philosopher. Hume realized that, although people talk about causes as if they are real facts—tangible things that can be discovered—they're actually not at all factual. Instead, Hume said, every cause is just a slippery story, a catchy conjecture, a "lively conception produced by habit." When an apple falls from a tree, the cause is obvious: gravity. Hume's skeptical insight was that we don't see gravity—we see only an object tugged toward the earth. We look at X and then at Y, and invent a story about what happened in between. We can measure facts, but a cause is not a fact—it's a fiction that helps us make sense of facts.
The truth is, our stories about causation are shadowed by all sorts of mental shortcuts. Most of the time, these shortcuts work well enough. They allow us to hit fastballs, discover the law of gravity, and design wondrous technologies. However, when it comes to reasoning about complex systems—say, the human body—these shortcuts go from being slickly efficient to outright misleading.
Consider a set of classic experiments designed by Belgian psychologist Albert Michotte, first conducted in the 1940s. The research featured a series of short films about a blue ball and a red ball. In the first film, the red ball races across the screen, touches the blue ball, and then stops. The blue ball, meanwhile, begins moving in the same basic direction as the red ball. When Michotte asked people to describe the film, they automatically lapsed into the language of causation. The red ball hit the blue ball, which caused it to move.
This is known as the launching effect, and it's a universal property of visual perception. Although there was nothing about causation in the two-second film—it was just a montage of animated images—people couldn't help but tell a story about what had happened. They translated their perceptions into causal beliefs.
Michotte then began subtly manipulating the films, asking the subjects how the new footage changed their description of events. For instance, when he introduced a one-second pause between the movement of the balls, the impression of causality disappeared. The red ball no longer appeared to trigger the movement of the blue ball. Rather, the two balls were moving for inexplicable reasons.
Michotte would go on to conduct more than 100 of these studies. Sometimes he would have a small blue ball move in front of a big red ball. When he asked subjects what was going on, they insisted that the red ball was "chasing" the blue ball. However, if a big red ball was moving in front of a little blue ball, the opposite occurred: The blue ball was "following" the red ball.
There are two lessons to be learned from these experiments. The first is that our theories about a particular cause and effect are inherently perceptual, infected by all the sensory cheats of vision. (Michotte compared causal beliefs to color perception: We apprehend what we perceive as a cause as automatically as we identify that a ball is red.) While Hume was right that causes are never seen, only inferred, the blunt truth is that we can't tell the difference. And so we look at moving balls and automatically see causes, a melodrama of taps and collisions, chasing and fleeing.
The second lesson is that causal explanations are oversimplifications. This is what makes them useful—they help us grasp the world at a glance. For instance, after watching the short films, people immediately settled on the most straightforward explanation for the ricocheting objects. Although this account felt true, the brain wasn't seeking the literal truth—it just wanted a plausible story that didn't contradict observation.
This mental approach to causality is often effective, which is why it's so deeply embedded in the brain. However, those same shortcuts get us into serious trouble in the modern world when we use our perceptual habits to explain events that we can't perceive or easily understand. Rather than accept the complexity of a situation—say, that snarl of causal interactions in the cholesterol pathway—we persist in pretending that we're staring at a blue ball and a red ball bouncing off each other. There's a fundamental mismatch between how the world works and how we think about the world.
The good news is that, in the centuries since Hume, scientists have mostly managed to work around this mismatch as they've continued to discover new cause-and-effect relationships at a blistering pace. This success is largely a tribute to the power of statistical correlation, which has allowed researchers to pirouette around the problem of causation. Though scientists constantly remind themselves that mere correlation is not causation, if a correlation is clear and consistent, then they typically assume a cause has been found—that there really is some invisible association between the measurements.
Researchers have developed an impressive system for testing these correlations. For the most part, they rely on an abstract measure known as statistical significance, invented by English mathematician Ronald Fisher in the 1920s. This test defines a "significant" result as any data point that would be produced by chance less than 5 percent of the time. While a significant result is no guarantee of truth, it's widely seen as an important indicator of good data, a clue that the correlation is not a coincidence.

The present study examines whether physical activity level (hours per week) among children with and without asthma are associated with the prevalence of reported wheezing and whistling in the chest in the last 12 months. The data are based on a survey of school children, aged 7–16 years (n = 2188), in Oslo in 1994 that employed the ISAAC questionnaire. In children reporting asthma, wheezing and whistling in the chest in the last 12 months was less prevalent among inactive children (66.7%) compared to those who exercised (89.4%) (p = 0.05). The prevalence of wheeze also differed among inactive (4.4%) and active (8.8%) children not reporting asthma (p = 0.02). Positive associations between physical activity and wheezing and whistling in the chest remained present using multiple logistic regression analysis adjusting for sex, age and atopy. Children who are engaged in sports or exercise seem to report asthma symptoms differently than inactive children. These findings raise the question whether level of physical activity could affect some of the variability in reported asthma symptoms when such morbidity is measured as 'wheeze in last 12 months'.

The Redcoats opened their season with a big win against longtime foe RHAM, 60-15, Dec. 17.
The Redcoats won six matches outright and another five by forfeit due to RHAM's lack of depth.
Of the six decisive victories, four came by way of pins from Nick Arborio (107 pounds), Jake Harris (120), Riley Greider (126) and Devon Reilly (182).
"Greider wrestled very well," BHS coach Jim Day said. "He had outstanding technique during his match."
Berlin's other two decisive bouts were won by Vin Biscoglio (220, 2-1) and Ryan Ogden (145, 10-4).
Berlin's next dual meet is scheduled for Jan. 2, when the Redcoats will look to exact revenge against a Middletown team that just edged them 34-31 last season. In the meantime, the Redcoats will host the C.J. McCormack Memorial Tournament and travel to the Glastonbury Duals.
Boys basketball
The Berlin boys lost their first game of the season to Glastonbury (1-0) by a final count of 55-44 Dec. 18.
Although the game was tightly contested at the half, with Berlin down just one (31-30), Glastonbury was able to extend the lead throughout the third quarter before pulling away with a 15-7 decisive stretch.
The Redcoats were led by junior Brendon Vessichio and sophomore Dominick Nuzzo, who netted 14 and 16 points, respectively. Nuzzo also recorded 10 rebounds to complete the double-double effort.
The difference in the game was at the charity stripe, where the Redcoats were outscored 24-5 from the free-throw line.
The boys will look to rebound on the road. They don't have another home game until Jan. 9, when Platt comes to town.
Co-op hockey
The Newington/Berlin/Manchester squad got a taste of what life in Division II will be like, and it left the Indians skating away with a bad flavor in their mouths.
Facing North Branford in the team's season opener, the Indians lost 3-1 against a squad that made it to the semifinals in the 2013 D-II state tournament.
North Branford's attack was consistent as the Thunderbirds scored every period.
N/B/M's lone goal came in the third period.
Although the Indians lost, it wasn't without effort or without great goal-tending for the Thunderbirds.
North Branford goalie Will McEwen saved 26 shots on the night.
Dan Roberts provided the only goal for the Indians, while Berlin's own Cam Criniti made seven saves.
NOTE: Neither the boys swimming and diving team nor the indoor track teams began season play before deadline. The girls basketball team's Dec. 17 matchup against Glastonbury was postponed.

The Devonshire Fell Hotel
4 | AA Assessed Small Hotel | Ratings explained |
The hotel was renamed The Devonshire Fell Hotel & Bistro when it was bought by the Trustees of the Chatsworth Estate on behalf of the family of The Duke and Duchess of Devonshire in December 1998, as a sister hotel to The Devonshire Arms Country House Hotel in Bolton Abbey.
Having completely refurbished the property, which re-opened in July 1999, The Devonshire Fell is startlingly different from the original Fell Hotel, as indeed it is from anywhere else in the Yorkshire Dales.
The Duchess of Devonshire has chosen bright contemporary colours for the interiors - her imagination running amok and creating an exciting boutique hotel in the Yorkshire Dales. Guests enjoy The Devonshire Fell's trademark - spectacular views of the Yorkshire countryside.

The best way to start a night is tasting the local specialties, which has fish as the main ingredient, then passing through bars with live music or Irish beer and you may end only in the morning in a party by the pool.
To start the evening a good idea is trying the bouillabaisse, a typical dish of the city, prepared with fish, garlic, croutons and saffron. This specialty can be found in restaurants of the port area, which also offer a wide variety of fish and shellfish. Chez Michel and Les Mets de Provence Chez Maurice Brun are among the most recommended for those who wish to try the local cuisine, but there are many restaurants with flavors from around the world scattered throughout the city. Whoever enjoys some music after dinner may go to Café Julien (www.espace-julien.com) or L'Affranchi (www.l-affranchi.com), which also offers theatrical performances in some days of the week. The Irish bars also have a strong presence in the city's nightlife. The good beer and typical atmosphere of a pub can be found in O'Brady's (www.obradys.com) or The Black Unicorn (www.blackunicorn.fr). Regarding nightclubs the variety is greater since there are over 20 spots where you can dance until dawn. La Maronaise is attended by the famous, Le Trolleybus (www.letrolley.com) is already a classic of the city's night and Sport's Beach Café (www.sportsbeachcafe.fr) offers the best parties by the pool.

Plank is meant to be the simplest dock on the planet. The goal is to provide just what a dock needs and absolutely nothing more. It is, however, a library which can be extended to create other dock programs with more advanced features. Thus, Plank is the underlying technology for Docky (starting in version 3.0.0) and aims to provide all the core features while Docky extends it to add fancier things like Docklets, painters, settings dialogs, etc.
