Mark Webber earned fourth place in his home Grand Prix from fifth on the grid. While qualifying was out of spec for both Red Bull drivers, Webber was able to work better with race-day pace--despite a poor start that saw him pushed back to ninth. "The car felt quite tricky on the options in the fist stint and I wondered if I had some damage from the first corner, but then when I got the primes the race came alive for me."
Fernando Alonso took the new Ferrari F2012 to fifth place, making a stellar start and moving from 12th to eighth on the opening lap. "We knew it would be a very complicated race and I am happy I managed to bring home a useful number of points," the 2006 champion said. "We still have a lot of work to do to reach those that are ahead of us--we are probably a second off pole and there are seven or eight teams who are all very close to one another."

No, no you've missed the point man. If you read the thread that's not the problem that some people here have. It's the problem of them literally hitting a woman. They don't want to be seen/portrayed as someone who is, what we in the UK would call, a 'wife/woman beater', since their character is essentially themselves.Quote:

I have no problem letting TDA fight women. It would just be the first time he wrestled them without making them assume the missionary position (JK). But I seriously have no problem with it. There's so many logical ways for Athena to get a victory over a male or for a male to score a victory over her. Sure it could bruise some egos but I think she would be an equal match for Heavyweights and Light Heavyweights. Super Heavyweights might be a little bit of a match, but I think Athena has no limits nor should anyone limit themselves in an efed. Simply put~
I don't really see how that can be a massive factor either honestly since we're not actually fighting each other. I can see what you're saying but this' EFedding. It's not real so we're not hitting any women and they're not doing the other domestic violence of beating up men.
I also don't really see any of us reading a scene were a female wrestlers beating down by people and think "OH COOL. IMMA TRY THIS IN REAL LIFE! HUEHUEHUEHUE!"
I really like the feud between Athena and Damian- mainly because my role as Damian is a gay guy- it proves for entertainment.
Beyond that, I have enjoyed the man-esque women in wrestling for the most part- namely Chyna and a some of Beth's work. It worked for them, so it should work in an e-fed for Athena.
But yeah, I feel fine using Damian against Athena, and I found it hilarious in a way that Whiz lost to her.
A Woman in a Man's World will work Glamour Girl and can be successful in the efeds.... Tyndall is here, and it has worked beautifully....

Please Explain: Spiders
Friday, August 24, 2012
This week we'll take a look at the creepy crawly world of spiders. Dr. Norm Platnick, curator emeritus in the Museum's Division of Invertebrate Zoology, and Hazel Davies, Associate Director of Living Exhibits at the American Museum of Natural History, talk about spiders, which are among the most versatile animals on the planet—they're able to inhabit every continent but Antarctica and are able to survive in environments that range from deserts to rainforests to crowded cities. There's an exhibition at the American Museum of Natural History called "Spiders Alive!" It's on view through December 2.
Guests:Hazel Davies and Dr. Norm Platnick
Comments [23]
An Irish friend once explained to me that she never killed spiders because A spiderweb woven across a cave opening had saved the baby Jesus from Herod's soldiers--an Irish Catholic tale to be sure.
Can someone explain spider beetles?
I am fascinated by webs, symmetry, design and instinct to build and how they cross vast expanse of air / space
I have heard that the hummingbirds in my yard use spider silk to make their nests. True?
I was house sitting once and was bitten all over my body every night for several weeks before I discovered and exterminated a bunch of spiders living outside the window the bed was pushed up against, at which time the biting stopped. WHY? Am I the only person ever to be actually bitten by these so-called non-aggressive creatures. The bites were painful and itchy and burned. IT WAS AWFUL!!! But I always hear this doesn't happen.
Do the pedipalps of spiders correspond to the claws of lobsters & crabs?
How many bugs can a typical household spider catch? Are they really effective as pest control?
Why don't we use spider silk? Is it not as good/strong as silkworm silk?
I've always heard that Daddy Long Leg spiders actually have venom that would harm humans, but their mouths are too small to bite human skin. Any truth to that or just an old wive's tail? Also what is the scientific name for the Daddy Long Legs?
When I woke up as a child with little bites received during the night, my mom always said they were spider bites, so even today when I wake up with little bites, I blame teeny weeny spiders that visit me during the night. Am I making unfair accusations?
I grew up in Sydney, Australia.
There are 2 scary, poisonous but tiny ones we were taught to avoid, the Funnel Web Spider, and the Red Back Spider.
They DID bite, and anti-venene was developed.
Hello I find this spider discussion fascinating. I have a fear of spiders but I am at the same time very intrigued bt them. i have heard that if a spiders web is destroyed it cannot build it again or can not do the same kind of web. Is that trur or a myth?
dan kaplan: No, they said spiders are arachnids (8 legs), not insects (6 legs).
To the guests: Aren't mites also arachnids?
Decades ago, I copied family friends, both of whom grew up on farms, and I stopped killing spiders. There is a little village of arachnids that build funnel-type webs along the hinge side of the entry gate beneath our stoop. They seem unperturbed by our comings and goings, even though their handiwork is ripped anew each time we open the gate. I'm guessing they decrease the mosquito population, for which I am grateful.
Is there a way to discourage spiders from your home and in the backyard? Every morning I have a spider that spins a web overnight blocking the staircase on my deck. Everyday we break the web and every morning it rebuilds it.
Could your guests describe the differences between female and male spiders?
I've heard that spider web is very healing on human wounds. Is that true?
I believe he said that spiders are insects. Wiki says that they're not:
do spiders eat bedbugs?
Leonard, most certainly they're listening to your show.....But don't expect a contribution during your next pledge drive
After moving to NYC from California 10 years ago, i noticed a comparative dearth of spiders in the NYC and Brooklyn apartments i lived in. however over the past 2 years it seems like their numbers are increasing, at least in my environment. is the NYC spider population on the rise?
There are many social insects. Are there any spiders with complex social behaviors?
SPIDERS! A hot topic this time of year in my household! Why does there seem to be a population explosion of spiders mid-august through septemeber? My front door looks like the entrance to a haunted house! HELP! Can I train them not to build their mansions at the entrance to my house? Is there such a thing as a spider deterrent?

SEATTLE -- Holiday travelers need to prepare for congested interstates and snow in the mountains.
The Washington State Department of Transportation has some predictions about when traffic will be the worst based on historical traffic data.
Along I-5, from Bellingham to the Canadian border, there will likely be increased traffic in both directions most of the day Friday and Monday.
Friday and Monday, if you are traveling anywhere between Olympia and Tacoma along I-5 from late morning until early evening, expect to see more cars than usual. Along that same route, congestion is expected during the later hours on Christmas Eve and during the early afternoon Christmas day.
On I-90 at Snoqualmie Pass, expect westbound congestion from 3-6 p.m. on Monday. When Christmas falls on a weekend, traffic historically increases by nearly 40 percent compared with a typical December weekend, according to WSDOT. Forecasts show a snowstorm will likely hit the mountain passes during this holiday travel weekend.
Construction delays should not be a problem for drivers around the holiday. Work around most road construction sites will move off the highway by noon tomorrow, according to WSDOT.
Driver Mark Bishop said he's happy to stay close to home during the holidays.
My whole family is in town. My wife's whole family is in town. Christmas Eve we go see my family, Christmas Day we go see her family, said Bishop.
City streets in Seattle could also see some traffic congestion. On Christmas Eve, the Seahawks host the 49ers at 1:15 p.m., so expect more traffic around CenturyLink Field.
Get more information on Christmas holiday travel times and road conditions on the WSDOT website.
The Seattle Trafic App gives you alerts, drive times and traffic at the passes - right at your fingertips. Download it for iPhone and Android at www.king5.com/mobile.

A surprise at park
Posted: January 09, 2014|
IN JUNE an animal mystery was finally solved, as a curious case of weight gain at a Hayle wildlife park turned out to be an exciting pregnancy.
On Tuesday, June 25, Jai-Li, a rare red panda, gave birth to twins at the town's Paradise Park.
The event came as a surprise to many, as in the months leading up to the new arrivals an ultrasound examination had proved inconclusive and nobody could pinpoint the cause of Jai-Li's weight gain.
Staff at the park had said the now two-year-old Jai-Li had not been given more food than her partner, Lang-Za, and it was a welcome discovery when the panda twins were confirmed.
The red pandas' keeper, Donna Sinclair, 27, was also expecting at the time and was on her first day of maternity leave when the new mother gave birth.
However, Donna rushed back to Paradise Park after hearing the news so she could meet the new arrivals.

KOCHI: The nature of the involvement of V.K. Krishna Menon in the freedom struggle was different as he fought the empire from inside Britain, said the former judge of the Supreme Court V.R. Krishna Iyer here on Saturday.
He was speaking at a homage meeting got up to mark Krishna Menon's 33rd death anniversary. It was organised jointly by the Krishna Menon Memorial Society and the V.K. Krishna Menon Educational Initiative at Mr. Iyer's residence.
The nation was yet to produce another person of international status to outshine the legacy left by Krishna Menon, Mr. Iyer said.
P.J. Joseph, president of Toc-H Public School; K. Aravindakshan, former Principal of Maharaja's College, and Madhu Nair, president of Rotary Club of Thripunithura, spoke.

The 28-year-old Complicated singer and 38-year-old Nickelback rocker exchanged vows Monday at Chateau La Napoule in Mandelieu, France.

The ceremony for the Canadian musicians was followed by a "wild, all-night party with drinking, dancing, incredible food and lots of laughter and tears of happiness," an insider told US Weekly.
A separate source told the magazine, "Avril and Chad had glasses of wine in their hands and were kissing as fireworks popped overhead and sparkled down.
"It was a magical moment and everyone was overwhelmed!"

Lavigne got divorced from ex Deryck Whibley in October 2009 after a three-year marriage. Kroeger initiated his first marriage presenting the Sk8tr Boi songstress with a 14-carat diamond ring in his proposal to her last summer.
Congrats to the newlyweds!

Burgesstown Plantation
Burgesstown Plantation was a large cotton plantation of 8,100 acres (3,300 ha) in northern Leon County, Florida, United States established by Frederich R. Cotten between 1850 and 1855.
Plantation location[edit]
Burgesstown extended to the west as far as the Ochlockonee River, to the east it would cross what is now Meridian Road and border the southern edge of Lake Iamonia. The boundaries would continue east and include the development of Luna Pines and the northern reaches of the development of Killearn Lakes Plantation and would protrude south into the development of Golden Eagle Plantation and Golden Eagle Country Club.
The smaller southern section of the plantation bordering Lake Jackson encompasses what is now the western edge of Phipps-Overstreet Park, the western part of Miller Landing Rd. and E. Rollins Point Rd. Like many plantations at the time, manual labour was supplied by slavery.
Plantation statistics[edit]
The Leon County Florida 1860 Agricultural Census shows that Burgesstown Plantation had the following:
- Improved Land: 3,800 acres (1,500 ha)
- Unimproved Land: 4,300 acres (1,700 ha)
- Cash value of plantation: US$22,000
- Cash value of farm implements/machinery: $200
- Cash value of farm animals: $600
- Number of slaves: 274[1]
- corn: 13,000 bushels (460 m³)
- cotton: 825 bales
Frederick Cotten also had control over a farm of his deceased brother which produced 185 bales of cotton. Cotten's total real estate was valued at $100,000.
During the dry season of April and May, Cotten took advantage of his property being located on two lakes which would dry in to prairie lakes. Cotten used the now extra area to graze his $17,600 worth of livestock including over 1000 swine, 16 work oxen, 60 dairy cows, 72 mules and asses, and 15 horses.
In addition to growing cotton, in 1860 Cotten harvested:
- 4000 bushels (140 m³) of sweet potatoes
- 75 tons of hay
- 2000 bushels (70 m³) of peas and beans
- 30 bushels (10 m³) of Irish potatoes
The owner[edit]
Frederich R. Cotten who had moved with his wife Elizabeth to Leon County in 1841 from North Carolina. Frederich was the son of Spencer D. Cotten of Tarboro, North Carolina. On May 26, 1845, Cotten participated in the first state wide election for state representatives and was one of six elected from Leon County.[2]
In 1851, Cotten purchased 35 slaves Old Penny, young Penny, Wilkes, Enoch, Molly, Sarry, Sylvia, Albery, Nancy, Rosetta, Betsy, John, Franklin, Jacob Sr., Jacob Jr., Jerry, Frederick, Penelope, Lucy, Jenny, Lydia, Guni [?], Seaborn, Susan, Washington, Aga [?], George, Martha, Sarah, Louisa Winna, Mourning, Scipio, Davy, Parthana, and Margaret. Cotten's slaves were valued at $164,000.[3]
Cotten died July 7, 1878.
Ownership transfer[edit]
The plantation property was kept by the Cotten heirs, the Whiteheads, until they sold the portion which ran along the south shore of Lake Iamonia to Lloyd Griscom who named it Luna Plantation.

Northwest Folklife Festival 2015 - Memorial Day weekend. CRANKIE FEST on Saturday,
May 23rd, 2:00 to 3:00 @ Centerhouse Theatre. Performers: Charmaine Slaven, Dejah Leger, Gregory Johnson and Gaelic Crankie Show. Free - but making a donation to the festival would be wonderful. Hope you can make it!
See more of the line-up below.
The Seattle Times wrote a wonderful article about Dejah Leger's crankies. Read it here.
Dejah makes beautiful paper-cut
crankies using French Canadian songs and folklore. Louis Leger, her father-in-law made the crankie box and is the crankist! I can't wait to see what they have cooked up for the show.
The term crankie, is being used now to name this very old art form. In the mid 19th Century, they were called moving panoramas (among other
things). This scrolling, picture art form is experiencing a bit of a comeback. I am very excited to be a part of it. This website attempts to connect the old (moving panoramas of the
19th Century) with the new (crankies being made now by artists in the US and beyond).
To watch new crankies: click on the WATCH A CRANKIE page. In that section you will
find crankies made by me and many other artists from the US and Europe.
To watch moving panoramas that were made in the 19th Century, click on the "Moving Panorama" section.
There are videos of large and small panoramas that have been filmed by museums, historical societies and private collectors. Heartfelt thanks and gratitude to those individuals working to restore and preserve this forgotten
piece of our history.
I hope you enjoy looking around
this site, AND, above all, I encourage you to make a crankie. You can do it!
Sue Truman
Created Sept. 3rd, 2012

Tube and you can follow me on Twitter at SueTruman1
Make a Crankie! This section is for those of you setting out to make your first crankie. It's a compilation of pictures
and tips from various artists. It's still a work in progress but there is a lot of information there to get you started!
Anna and Elizabeth are on tour! They are touring throughout the US, Canada and Europe, spreading magic along the way. Check
out their schedule here !
Watch their crankies here.
They are amoung the very best. Move mountains if you have to, but go see them!
The Painters' Panorama: Narrative, Art and Fairth in the Moving Panorama of Pilgrim's Progress. The book by Jessia Skwire Routhier, Kevin Avery
and Thomas Hardiman Jr. is scheduled to be released in May 2015. I'm excited! This is a great story of a 19th century moving panorama, thought to be lost. Rediscovered and restored. Read more about the panorama here at The Crankie Factory's "Pilgrim's Progress" page or click on the link above to visit the Saco Museum's website.
Soundweaving: Artist Converts Folk Embroidery Patterns Into Paper Scores for Music Boxes. Hungarian design student Zsanett Szirmay had transformed embroidery stitches into music. Wow!
Carmontelle's Landscape Transparencies - Louis de Carmontelle was an eighteenth-century French
painter and garden designer. He painted a series of panoramas on translucent paper that became a popular source of entertainment at royal court gatherings. These rolled-up transparencies (rouleaux transparents) were cranked through a backlit viewing
box, and were accompanied by storytelling. Some of the scrolls have survived and are housed at The J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles. Watch a video of one of the "roll transparencies" filmed by The Getty Museum. To learn more, check out the book Carmontelle's Landscape Transparencies by Laurence Chatel de Brancion.
The Trans-Siberian Express at the Paris Universal Exposition of 1900 - A fabulous article written by Arjan den Boer,
published Nov. 2014, retours.eu. In 1900, at the Paris Universal Exposition, there were not one, but two moving panoramas of the Trans-Siberian Express. One of the moving panoramas painted by Pavel Piasetsky survives to this day and is housed at the Hermitage
Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. The picture is Pavel Piasetsky with his moving panorama. This is the most panoramic box ever!
Panorama of the Monumental Grandeur of the Mississippi Valley - Separate panels of this 1850s moving panorama are on display at the St. Louis
Museum of Art as part of the Navigating the West: George Caleb Bingham and the West exhibit Feb. 22 - May 17th, 2015. The first link above is a time lapse video of a crew setting up
one scene of the moving panorama. It makes me wonder how the 19th century moving panorama showmen managed to transport these huge scrolls and set them up without the help of today's technology?
Henry Box Brown (1816-c.1889) was a Virginia slave who escaped to freedom by arranging to have himself shipped to Philadelphia abolitionists in a wooden box. He then went on to become a successful moving panorama showman in the US and then in England.
Read about this truly remarkable story. Find out more

Event looks at black-white gap.
With the 50th anniversary this month of the landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling declaring segregation inherently unequal, there's been abundant reflection on how far the nation has come in the quest for equality in public education.
On Saturday, a conference at Sheldon High School will focus on an issue that underscores the continuing struggle to fulfill the promise of Brown vs. Board of Education: the achievement gap between black and white students.
"Our concern is, are our kids making it in the classroom?" said organizer Bahati Ansari, safe and drug-free schools coordinator at Jefferson Middle School and adviser to the black student union at Sheldon. "This conference will bring a lot of information to the table."
The conference's goals, she said, are to increase the level of parent involvement, boost awareness about the pitfalls facing black students and collaborate on new strategies involving schools, businesses and community.
With few exceptions, local statistics mirror national trends in academic achievement, even though the Eugene area has a comparatively small percentage of minorities. Blacks, Latinos and American Indians consistently post lower test scores and higher dropout rates than their white and Asian counterparts, and they are overrepresented in special education. A similar gap exists between low-income students and the general population.
In the Eugene district, for example, 62 percent of blacks met benchmarks on state reading tests averaged over 2002 and 2003, compared with 75 percent of whites. Blacks make up just 3 percent of the district's enrollment of 18,700.
The graduation rate in 2002 was only slightly lower for blacks than whites in Eugene schools, but in Springfield, it was 61 percent compared with 80 percent.
Narrowing the achievement gap is a goal of the Eugene, Springfield and Bethel school districts, all of which are co-sponsoring Saturday's conference.
In Eugene, the district has earmarked extra dollars for schools with large numbers of poor and minority students, and later this year will tackle a set of recommendations aimed at lessening socioeconomic disparities among schools.
Sheldon Principal Bob Bolden said the district is increasingly providing targeted programs and extra assistance where they're needed.
His school, for example, offers a black literature class and brings in community mentors. A Black Student Union, new this year, meets regularly.
"We still have a lot of our students who feel that this is a place that needs a lot of improvement, so we have a lot of dialogue going on," said Bolden, who attended virtually all-black schools growing up in Los Angeles.
Seli Thomas, Sheldon's Black Student Union president, plans to attend Saturday's conference, and hopes some good comes out of it.
Thomas believes that cultural stereotyping and ignorance exacerbate the achievement gap between whites and blacks, but said its roots may lie in a societal structure that favors whites.
"Life is like a race, and all the minorities are on the farthest back starting line with, like, five or six hurdles to jump over before they even get there," said Thomas, a junior who spent much of her childhood in Philadelphia.
Churchill freshman Faith Morris, who moved here from South Carolina in fifth grade, said she's learned little in school about black heroes or history.
More of that would help student achievement, she believes, as would the presence of more minority staff.
Saturday's keynote speaker will be attorney Marilyn Hutton, the National Education Association's point person on equal educational opportunities and affirmative action.
Hutton has been leading NEA activities recognizing the 50th anniversary of the Brown vs. Board of Education decision.
Other speakers and panelists include Robin Morris Collin, a professor at Willamette University College of Law; Kevin Fuller, who launched a "Rites of Passage" program for black youth in the Portland schools; and Johnny Lake, a diversity and leadership expert who was the community coordinator in the Salem-Keizer School District.
While the focus will be the black-white student achievement gap, Ansari said the conference topics will resonate with all minority groups.
When: 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday
Where: Auditorium, Sheldon High School, 2455 Willakenzie Road
What: A free conference for parents, students, educators and community members. Free child care for children 5 or older.
Schedule: Continental breakfast 8 a.m. to 8:45 a.m.; registration 9 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.; keynote speaker and panel discussion 9:30 a.m. to 11:50 a.m.; lunch noon to 12:30 p.m.; youth, parent and educator workshops 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.; wrap-up 2:30 to 3:30 p.m.

- Introduction
- Fundamental questions
- Democratic institutions
- The theory of democracy
- Problems and challenges
Classical Greece
During the Classical period (corresponding roughly to the 5th and 4th centuries bc), Greece was of course not a country in the modern sense but a collection of several hundred independent city-states, each with its surrounding countryside. In 507 bc, under the leadership of Cleisthenes, the citizens of Athens began to develop a system of popular rule that would last nearly two centuries. To question (1), then, the Greeks responded clearly: The political association most appropriate to democratic government is the polis, or city-state.
Athenian democracy foreshadowed some later democratic practices, even among peoples who knew little or nothing of the Athenian system. Thus the Athenian answer to question (2)—Who should constitute the dēmos?—was similar to the answer developed in many newly democratic countries in the 19th and 20th centuries. Although citizenship in Athens was hereditary, extending to anyone who was born to parents who were themselves Athenian citizens, membership in the dēmos was limited to male citizens 18 years of age or older (until 403, when the minimum age was raised to 20).
Because data is scanty, estimates of the size of the Athenian dēmos must be treated with caution. One scholar has suggested that in the mid-4th century there may have been about 100,000 citizens, 10,000 resident foreigners, or metics, and as many as 150,000 slaves. Among citizens, about 30,000 were males over 18. If these numbers are roughly correct, then the dēmos comprised 10 to 15 percent of the total population.
Regarding question (3)—What political institutions are necessary for governing?—the Athenians adopted an answer that would appear independently elsewhere. The heart and centre of their government was the Assembly (Ecclesia), which met almost weekly—40 times a year—on the Pnyx, a hill west of the Acropolis. Decisions were taken by vote, and, as in many later assemblies, voting was by a show of hands. As would also be true in many later democratic systems, the votes of a majority of those present and voting prevailed. Although we have no way of knowing how closely the majority in the Assembly represented the much larger number of eligible citizens who did not attend, given the frequency of meetings and the accessibility of the meeting place, it is unlikely that the Assembly could have long persisted in making markedly unpopular decisions.
The powers of the Assembly were broad, but they were by no means unlimited. The agenda of the Assembly was set by the Council of Five Hundred, which, unlike the Assembly, was composed of representatives chosen by lot from each of 139 small territorial entities, known as demes, created by Cleisthenes in 507. The number of representatives from each deme was roughly proportional to its population. The Council's use of representatives (though chosen by lot rather than by election) foreshadowed the election of representatives in later democratic systems.
Another important political institution in Athens was the popular courts (dikasteria; see dicastery), described by one scholar as "the most important organ of state, alongside the Assembly," with "unlimited power to control the Assembly, the Council, the magistrates, and political leaders." The popular courts were composed of jurors chosen by lot from a pool of citizens over 30 years of age; the pool itself was chosen annually and also by lot. The institution is a further illustration of the extent to which the ordinary citizens of Athens were expected to participate in the political life of the city.
In 411 bc, exploiting the unrest created by Athens's disastrous and seemingly endless war with Sparta (see Peloponnesian War), a group known as the Four Hundred seized control of Athens and established an oligarchy. Less than a year later, the Four Hundred were overthrown and democracy was fully restored. Nine decades later, in 321, Athens was subjugated by its more powerful neighbour to the north, Macedonia, which introduced property qualifications that effectively excluded many ordinary Athenians from the dēmos. In 146 bc what remained of Athenian democracy was extinguished by the conquering Romans.

Pictures of Maddox And Pax Jolie-Pitt Driving a Water Taxi in Venice
Maddox Tries His Hand at Being a Water Taxi Driver With Pax!

Maddox Jolie-Pitt stepped up to the wheel this afternoon to steer a water taxi in Venice. He's about a decade shy of getting a driver's license, but that didn't seem to bother his brother Pax, and they made their way down one of the city's canals. The oldest of the Jolie-Pitt boys were out enjoying a day with their uncle Doug, who's in town for a visit after his and Brad's parents stayed for a bit as well. Maddox and Pax were well supervised by their bodyguards while on the boat, as they enjoyed their latest Italian adventure.

I take it some of you never go visit your siblings without your entire family along. And obviously Maddox didn't take this boat out for a joyride, you can see there's someone right next to him helping. He's probably just driving for a few minutes out in open space with no other boats around, that's something pretty normal. He's having a great time, I wish I could be there right now.

In Everything Is Illuminated (2002), a character named Jonathan Safran Foer flabbergasts his Ukrainian guide, Alex Perchov. "I'm a vegetarian," the visiting American declares. "I do not understand," Alex replies. A dialogue of mutual incomprehension ensues: "'I don't eat meat.' 'Why not?' 'I just don't.' 'How can you not eat meat?' . . . 'I just don't. No meat.' 'Pork?' 'No.' 'Meat?' 'No meat.' 'Steak?' 'Nope.' 'Chickens?' 'No.' 'Do you eat veal?' 'Oh, God. Absolutely no veal.' 'What about sausage?' 'No sausage either.'" The starving traveler is forced to feast on two potatoes.
Eating Animals, Foer's first book of nonfiction, answers Perchov's "Why not?" with a more cogent explanation. An apologia pro diaeta sua, it begins in fond remembrance of his grandmother's chicken and carrots. Foer passed through vegetarian

Any and every Mississippi State baseball fan was probably watching a television mid-afternoon Monday as the Bulldogs resumed their game against host Virginia leading the three-game series 1-0 and game two 5-3. I was glued to the television myself Sunday night, but forecasted rain made the avid Diamond Dawg fan have to wait a little longer for Omaha.
The Mississippi State Bulldogs left little doubt they are one of the best teams in the country this year, as they swept the #6 national seed University of Virginia Cavaliers 2 games to none on their own home turf in Charlottesville to advance to the 2013 College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska, next weekend. The trip to Omaha will be the ninth for the Bulldogs in school history, the first since 2007, and the first in the five year regime with Coach John Cohen at the helm.
Justin Estes learned how to play the piano in a day.
He was 13 at the time, and he had never touched the instrument in any serious way before.
"I had a wild hair that I wanted to play the piano," Estes said from his office at West Point City Hall on Monday. "I got a keyboard for Christmas that year, and I began reading the music books."
A federal jury trial on an alleged drug offender from West Point was originally scheduled to begin Monday, but a federal judge ordered that the trial be pushed to mid-August.
On Sunday, June 9, 2013, around 03:27 a.m., Columbus police officers were dispatched to the 1600 block of Highway 45 North in reference to a vehicle accident.
When officers arrived on scene, they noticed an unknown black male in the passenger's side of a 2004 maroon Chevrolet Malibu with what appeared to be a gunshot wound in the chest area.

Bruins trade for Joe Corvo to replace Tomas Kaberle
|07.05.11 at 4:53 pm ET
Minutes after losing defenseman Tomas Kaberle to the Hurricanes, the Bruins acquired his replacement in Hurricanes puck-mover Joe Corvo. The B's sent their fourth-round pick in the 2012 draft to Carolina in exchange for the 34-year-old.
Corvo is coming off a career year, as he played in all 82 games for the first time and scored 11 goals and had 29 assists for a career-high 40 points. He has one year remaining on his contract and will command a $2.25 million cap hit, which is $2 million less than what Kaberle will make in each of the next three years.
In adding the Illinois native, the B's also have add another right shot to their blueline, and assuming he replaces Kaberle in the lineup, the B's blueline will now feature three left-handed shots (Zdeno Chara, Dennis Seidenberg and Andrew Ference) and three righties (Corvo, Adam McQuaid and Johnny Boychuk).
In his career, Corvo has played for the Kings, Senators, Hurricanes and Capitals. He is coming off his second stint with Carolina, as he returned to the Hurricanes in 2010 after previously being traded to Washington.

In another thread 2 people, with very valid opinions, either verbally trashed the Magic Kingdom or gave it not so rave reviews... I'm so so done with the idea of comparing MK to Disneyland with statements announcing to the world "Disneyland is always better"- Hey we all get that, DL was the first, the best and will always be Disneyland. Nothing can touch it. WE ALL GET IT.
But the issue on hand is people's dislike and very open distaste for the Magic Kingdom.
If you are going to verbally tear down the Magic Kingdom I'd LOVE to see people do it without comparing it to Disneyland. Of course if you really feel the need to compare DL to MK then by all means compare away but wouldn't it be a great challenge to not compare the 2? Wait I just failed this challenge of mine because I compare the parks as both enjoyable experiences. Moving on.
Again I ask.. WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE MAGIC KINGDOM?
Please. Tell me.
What am I NOT seeing that others are because I have no issues with MK personally. I've been to Disneyland myself during the 50th Celebration but only after attending the Magic Kingdom first. Before getting to California I thought Disneyland would be a step down from the MK but I was shocked to discover Disneyland was a whole new experience yet it doesn't led me to no longer enjoy the Magic Kingdom or think ill will of it. I still travel to WDW far more times than the Disneyland Resort and the Magic Kingdom is near the top of my list as the reason(s) why I return to the WDW Resort.
With that said.. I ask again. What is wrong with the Magic Kingdom?

While fans marvel at the LA Galaxy star's football skills and love the former Spice Girl's fashion sense, they run for cover when the pair open their mouths.
The poll found telly host Alan Carr, 36, as the only man with a more irritating drawl than the 37-year-old footie star, the Daily Star reported.
'X Factor' hopeful Rylan Clark, 24, was voted third and ranting Russell Brand, 37, fourth.
Victoria, 38, has the third most hated speech of celeb women, behind glamour girl Katie Price and pop star Cheryl Cole.
The views were revealed after phone firm Gigaset did a study to find out the public's favourite way of speaking.
Bond legend Sean Connery was voted the sexiest male voice, while saucy chef Nigella Lawson was most popular with men.
"David and Victoria Beckham look fantastic but their voices are a turn-off for people," Gigaset's Amy Ward said.
"Many feel David lets himself down when he talks, while Victoria doesn't say a lot but when she does it can sound dull," she said.
The survey found talking posh is a turn-on, with blokes loving how Duchess Kate and Joanna Lumley chat.
Scottish and Geordie lilts are the second and third most popular.
The survey found Stephen Fry, as the man most people would like to have a conversation with, beating Sir Michael Parkinson.
Brummie was the least favourite regional twang, followed by Scouse and Essex.

The NHL awards the Art Ross Trophy annually "to the player who leads the League in scoring points at the end of the regular season." During a 21-year stretch from 1981-2001, the award was dominated by Wayne Gretzky (10-time winner), Mario Lemieux (6) and Jaromir Jagr (5), one of whom captured it each season. No player has won the Art Ross more than once since, but Evgeni Malkin of the Penguins, who claimed it in 2009, has the opportunity to change that -- he's locked in a three-way battle with Claude Giroux of the Philadelphia Flyers and Steven Stamkos of the Tampa Bay Lightning heading down the stretch.
Here's an up-to-date look at the race:
Evgeni Malkin (95 points) -- The Penguins improved to 13-0-1 in their last 14 games by demolishing Nashville 5-1 at the Consol Energy Center on Thursday night, and again it was Malkin who led the way. The Russian superstar had a pair of goals to build his lead in the scoring race to 10 points. He has seven goals in his last five games. The Penguins are off Friday before weekend games at Ottawa on Saturday and home against New Jersey on Sunday.
Claude Giroux (85 points) -- Giroux scored Philadelphia's lone goal in regulation as the Flyers topped Washington 2-1 in a shootout at the Wells Fargo Center on Thursday night. Now 10 points behind Malkin, Giroux and the Flyers face the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night.
Steven Stamkos (84 points) -- Stamkos was held without a point in Thursday night's 3-2 shootout win against the Edmonton Oilers at the Tampa Bay Times Forum -- he did score in the tiebreaker, though that doesn't count in his season totals. The Lightning are back in action Saturday night against the New York Islanders. --- NHL.com

WvW is a good place to learn how to run away from large mobs. Or at least, to learn which areas of the mob is dangerous, and which areas is safer to attack from.
If you want to live, then as melee your job is to separate foes from the herd and take them out. You can generate enough threat and confusion that they run in the wrong direction, then your pack can make an easy kill of it. Or you can stick to ranged to pick them off from a safer distance.
If you decide to play frontline, then keep a close eye on your health. If you decide to AoE in the middle of a mob, then good luck.

Top 9 of 2009: Remembering Dance, Theater...and Kanye
Tuesday, December 29, 2009
It's that time of year again: my top nine of 2009, in honor of the last of the single digit years that many of us will ever see. The good, the bad, the inane.
1. Most Asinine Essay: Many candidates here. I probably contributed several myself. But the winner goes to Michael Kaiser's misguided, out-of-touch Huff Post lament, Why I Worry About Modern Dance.
2. Best Theatrical Experience: Target Margin Theater's production of Gertrude Stein's A Family of Perhaps Three. It also prompted one of my favorite P. Club comments. Thanks, Chance: "I am always loving Gertie Stein yes always and further loving the word the word is spoken and I think Stein was doing it and speaking of the now yes always now now. I am always loving Gertie Stein yes always and further loving the word the word is spoken and I think Stein was doing it and speaking of the now yes always now now."
3. Worst Loss: Merce Cunningham
4. Best Exit Strategy: Merce is dead; long live his dances.
5. Best Impersonation of a Soap Opera by a Real Opera: Or should it read best impersonation of a real opera by a soap opera? In any case, as if there were any doubt: New York City Opera!
6. Most Desperately I Have Ever Wanted Off a Bus: The Foundry Theater's "Provenance of Beauty."
7. Most Ecstatically High-Level Season: Carla Peterson's Dance Theater Workshop lineup has been revelatory. And it's only half finished.
8. Most amusing performance artist-celebrity confrontation: Getting into P.S. 122 to see "Why Won't You Let Me Be Great!!!." Watching Kanye West's face while he watched Ann Liv Young smear raw pork on her nether regions (after insulting his album) because that's what Love Lockdown made her feel like? Priceless. (Perhaps I'm biased here, as Ms. Young later in the show's run stuffed a makeup bottle up those same regions as, er, a tribute to my critical faculties. But still.)
9. Best Anniversary: Ours! The P. Club is now officially one year old. Who woulda thunk?

And thanks for your list, too, Evan. I'm honored by the mention!:
I'm also excited for American Realness - what a great lineup:
Thanks for sharing, Claudia. I love reading the various "top performances of '09 " lists that are all over the arts blogosphere. Glad that I got to witness "Why Won't You Let Me Be Great!!!", even though Kanye wasn't there the night I attended.
Also, the press release for the upcoming American Realness festival quotes Kaiser's article that you mention and seems to be a direct response to his concerns about a lack of a next generation of modern dance. Looking forward to seeing some of those performances.

The SRI index series has evolved considerably since it was launched in May 2004. The advent of sustainability initiatives internationally and the King code locally, also saw the index created to foster good corporate citizenship and promote sustainable development.
Listed companies in the FTSE/JSE All Share index are reviewed annually. The measurement is conducted against a holistic set of Environmental, social and governance (ESG) and related sustainability concerns and a fourth area of climate change.
Inclusion in the Index is determined through an aggregation methodology in relation to the indicators based on analysis of the public information companies produce.
The index constituency is reviewed against the criteria on an annual basis
The review process has traditionally commenced in May, with data collection and engagement completed by September. The JSE and EIRIS perform final quality checks and engagements during October. The Advisory Committee meets in mid-November to approve the process, and the results are usually announced by the end of November.
The data collection process currently follows a two phased approach. Firstly, EIRIS conducts an initial review of all publicly available information e.g. company websites, annual reports etc. From this a company-specific profile is compiled, assessing the company against the Criteria using public information.
The second phase provides the company an opportunity to review the profile and comment to submit additional public information which may not yet be published.

• Ground Rules

text: I don't like the more modern-looking wig and she looks too heavily made-up, in my opinion; I thought the princesses were more "natural" beauties. The sleeves are wrong but I don't think the old ones reflected the movie. The new bodice appears to be more flattering and the skirts are fine. If they kept the old wig/makeup I'd consider it an improvement, but now I'm just not sure.

Shen Wei, a force behind the Beijing Olympics' pageantry, unveils a new work
To take a brief break from his work as a choreographer, Shen Wei—winner of a MacArthur "genius" grant, and the lead creative consultant for the opening ceremonies at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing—headed to Tibet. Born in China, he had long been familiar with the region's steppes, Buddhist temples and mountainous landscape, but what he found there during his trip in 2005 took his breath away—literally.
Lincoln Center Arts Festival, New York City,
July 9-11.
Shen Wei and artist Cai Guo-Qiang in a live conversation with Wall Street Journal correspondent Geoffrey Fowler about leaving China, making it in New York and returning to Beijing to help stage the 2008 Olympics Opening Ceremonies
July 1, Lincoln Center
Summer Scoops Live with The Wall Street Journal.
Information at WSJ.com/Live or 212-721-6500
"Some places are 4,000 meters above sea level. It's so high that you need oxygen," says Mr. Shen. "Your body was so calm and yet your brain worked so fast."
His trip to Tibet contributed to one section of a three-part performance Mr. Shen will present at Lincoln Center starting July 9. Each section of the show will encompass a different portion of Mr. Shen's travels. The other two sections were inspired by the Angkor Wat temple complex in Cambodia, and China's Silk Road. Mr. Shen entitled the triptych "Re-" to suggest rebirth or renewal.
Born in a rural village in Hunan, China, the 41-year-old choreographer left home at the age of nine to begin to study dance. By the age of 30, he had shown his work at the American Dance Festival. Last year, he and his company were commissioned to create pieces for the opening ceremony of the Olympics in Beijing.
Mr. Shen's work draws on modern dance and his Chinese roots. The movements of his dancers sometimes suggests the stylized steps of performers in Chinese operas, or the flowing strokes of a calligraphy brush.
To translate his Tibetan journey into his choreography, he showed the dancers in his troupe thousands of pictures and videos from his travels. "How you can transform that information to your body language? The transition isn't easy," says Mr. Shen.
