Elderly woman makes new drive-through at bank's front door
Germantown - Germantown police responded to a report of a car driving through the front door at BMO Harris Bank, W156 N11150 Pilgrim Road, shortly after 10:30 a.m. Nov. 16.
According to the police log, an 81-year-old Germantown woman who was attempting to park in a parking spot in front of the bank lost control of her vehicle and drove through the front door of the business. The woman told police she thought she may have pressed the gas pedal instead of the brake.
The driver was cited for failure to have control of a vehicle. A damage estimate for the building was unavailable at the time of the report.
Black Friday shoppers trample woman at Walmart
Germantown - A 43-year-old woman called police after she was trampled by numerous customers during the Thanksgiving Day sales event at Walmart.
According to the Germantown police log:
The woman stated she was in the video gaming section of the electronics department to purchase advertised video games at Walmart, W190 N9855 Appleton Ave., shortly after 8 p.m. Thanksgiving Day. When employees started handing out the special sale-priced video games, customers behind her began to trample and push her as they tried to grab the products for themselves.
The woman sustained minor injuries to her right wrist and right ankle and declined medical treatment. She was unable to identify anyone involved in the melee and told police she would be filing an incident report with Walmart management.

Some stats for 1995 W SF (Becker-Agassi)

I'm not sure that I remember this match too well (as an Agassi fan, it's too painful to go back and watch), but I also do not remember a change in tactics by Becker...in retrospect, the famous baseline-to-baseline forehand winner really stands out as the turning point
what I do remember was that, coming in to the match, Becker had to go to 9-7 in the fifth to beat Pioline in the quarters - no shame in that, but Agassi was looking so strong that I felt Agassi would likely win in straight sets (remember, Agassi owned Becker at that point)
and it certainly looked like Agassi was on his way to an easy victory early on - as i recall, he played about as well as I ever saw him play up to 4-1 in the second set...then, Becker played a good game to break him, and Andre was never the same...his passing shots (which had been razor sharp) were sitting up for Becker to put away...by early in the third set (or maybe earlier), Agassi's eyes had that "deer in the headlights" look, while Becker was walking like he owned wimbledon
(that's how I remember it...but my bias is obviously slanted towards Agassi)
I'm definitely a Becker fan, and the whole rivalry was painful for me
Seriously, it's ironic being a Becker fan, that I didn't bother to watch this match because I expected Agassi to win; and I was not that into tennis anymore. Becker's win revived my interest for bit; and then Agassi's rivalry with Sampras got me just as interested as everyone ... until Andre went away.
But it's ironic that I saw all of Andre's victories over Boris in Slams -- including the 95 USO, which I sat down hopefully to watch -- but I have not seen the one that Becker took, until now.
It's hard to pinpoint exactly how the match got turned around. Sometimes a single moment can have great impact, and that first break seems to have been a psychological turning point; until then I think that mentally, Agassi's 8 straight victories were still on the minds of both men; after that it just became a dogfight.
Agassi was in the zone through 4-1 in the second, no question. He'd had a non-taxing QF and was having a great year. Becker was still stiff from the Pioline quarterfinal (something McEnroe noted too). I think it took him a while to get on fire; that baseline rally that got him the break point at 1-4 amazed me, the way he was moving then, with so much vigor despite getting spanked.
But I'm a fan, so that's my bias.

A new "20/20" survey finds that more than 80 percent of you are bothered by rude behavior. But what exactly does "rude" mean? The dictionary says: ill-mannered, discourteous, offensive. But what is offensive?
We think we know it when it happens to us. Celebrities will certainly tell you that aggressive paparazzi are less than polite. Elton John called a few particularly pesky photographers "rude, vile pigs."
We see plenty of rude behavior in sports from coaches like Bobby Knight. And Howard Stern has built a huge following by being rude on his radio show.
Rudeness is one of the main attractions that keeps audiences tuning in to TV's biggest talent show, "American Idol." People gasp at Simon Cowell's rude comments to the show's contestants, but we keep watching.
I've been told I'm rude because I confront people. I think I should confront people, because it helps get to the truth.
Many comedians say they're funny often because their rudeness reveals what many people are thinking. This Dennis Miller joke is a good example: "I was raised Catholic. I went to confession the other day, and I said, 'You first.'"
Miller's joke is painful -- but there's truth behind it. These days, however, many of the comedians seem to believe that they have to add X-rated language. It's routine now in comedy clubs.
People laugh, but shouldn't they be outraged by the coarse language? I went to the comedy club Stand-UpP New York and asked audience members if they were bothered by hearing the word "f--k" all the time.
They weren't.
"When you come in here you expect to hear some of that, so it's not offensive," one woman told me.
She's right. Context matters. But how would you feel if on the street a survey taker came up to you and said: A lot of people feel it was f----d up what the president did, do you feel that President Bush overstepped his boundaries?
At "20/20's" request, comedian Jim Norton took to the streets, pretending to conduct a survey on current events, like the Iraq war. He sprinkled his questions with curse words so "20/20" could gauge respondents' reactions to his foul language.
"Do you see any end in sight, or is this f--king thing gonna drag on forever," was one of the questions he asked. We were surprised that most people were not offended.
"I wasn't offended, because I actually come from a family that uses a lot of cursing," one woman said. Some even repeated his cursing in their answers.
New York City may be different, but an ABC News poll found 48 percent of Americans are bothered "a lot" by bad language.
In the comedy club, people didn't mind when the comics were cursing, but it was a different matter when their wait staff cussed. We asked a waiter to swear while serving food.
He said people were horrified at first. Later though, the customers just started laughing.
They laughed at what is illegal in some states and many cities that have public-cursing laws. The laws are probably unconstitutional and are rarely enforced. But in Michigan in 1999, Timothy Boomer was fined $75 and assigned to community service for cussing after his canoe tipped over.
"I know I'm being punished by a law that not one person in a million in America ever thought existed," Boomer said. He's got a point. Think of how some people speak at work. If they enforced these laws in offices, they'd have to lock up much of the work force.

Gisele likes Brady's scarred nose
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP)
Tom Brady feels fine about his scarred nose as long as his supermodel wife does.
SUPPORTING TEAMTake a look at all the hottest NFL wives and girlfriends.
There was a faint red mark - but no bandage- near the bridge of his nose as he stood at a podium for his weekly news conference on Wednesday. His nose also was uncovered Monday night during a charity bowling event he attended with New England Patriots teammates and Gisele Bundchen.
''Yeah, it's OK,'' Brady said of his nose during the 12-minute media session. ''My wife likes it, so I'm good.''
There has been no definitive word from Brady or the Patriots on whether his nose was broken when he was sacked by Kamerion Wimbley in the second quarter of their 34-13 win at Tennessee last Sunday.
Brady played the rest of the game with the bridge of his nose bandaged then wore a bigger bandage after the game. He completed 23 of 31 passes for 236 yards and two touchdowns.

Smith Business Close-Up
College Park, Md. – October 15, 2010 – The University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business today named Mark Holifield – senior vice president of global supply chain for the Home Depot – as the 2010 "Person of the Year."
With constant change, economic challenges and the havoc that events such as Gulf oil spills, natural disasters and terrorist threats can create, old models of balancing supply and demand are no longer effective.
In this edition of Smith Business Close-Up with the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business, Sandor Boyson, research professor and co-director of the Supply Chain Management Center, discusses the new risks for today's supply chains and how organization can deal with volatility.
Curt Grimm, Dean's Professor of Supply Chain and Strategy, described coaching his young son's softball team to a rapt audience in Frank Auditorium. Grimm knew that only two of the children could reliably catch the ball. So he put those boys at first and second base, and then instructed their teammates to only throw the ball to first and second. It proved to be a winning strategy, because his son's team took the championship that year. Grimm asked his audience to assess his competitive strategy: was it good, bad or ugly?

Love, Snedeker lead Franklin Templeton Shootout
Updated: December 7, 2012, 5:45 PM ETAssociated Press
NAPLES, Fla. -- U.S. Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III and Brandt Snedeker shot a 10-under 62 on Friday in modified alternate-shot play to take the first-round lead in the Franklin Templeton Shootout.
Love said everyone on the U.S. team wanted to play with Snedeker, a captain's pick, so he took that advice this week.
"That's why I was so excited to play with him, because I knew it would be fun and comfortable," Love said.
Love and Snedeker made 10 birdies for the lowest score ...

i am working on a project. i have completed everything checked out preview and stuff but when i am rendering it it is having some glitch in the output video. the project is working fine in preview. those glitches are also visible when you have the preview while rendering but not anywhere before rendering. the glitch is sort of loss of images, colors and some more details. can somebody help?
Can you upload a preview on YouTube? May be helpful
CS5 .5 i am uploading the preview video. and i am using the default settings for higher quality which is AVI format.
You say there are no glitches when rendering preview, did you also try full resolution preview? For example half or third resolution preview may look fine, but full resolution preview reveals everything including glitches.
so here is the thing. i just had a preview in full resolution and i could see the same problem there too. now i went to the independent comps which had these glitches and had a preview but no problem but in the main comp where all the scenes are combined, i can see it. there is no layer above individual scenes like adjustment and solids. so what now?
bilalmarri said
Where's the glitch? It's a pretty flickery, glitchy file, so it's hard to know what's intentional.
Tried soloing layers? Tried ditching the cache?
the point at which the images are being lost. flicks in fact, instead of glitch. those are unintentional still checking whats wrong there..
Man, that's odd.. Is anything weirdly plugged into any audio-reactive stuff? Looks like it could be a bug in AE. Have you tried rendering in a different version of AE (if you have it)

BP E&P extends Subsea 7 contract in GoM
Subsea 7 S.A. has announced the award of a three-year $160 million contract extension by BP Exploration & Production Inc. for light subsea construction, inspection, repair and maintenance services in the US Gulf of Mexico.
The contract will run from the second quarter 2014 to the third quarter 2017. The scope covers the provision of two vessels, including a dedicated vessel on a full-time basis, associated project management and engineering support, ROV-based inspection and intervention, and light construction work.
One of the vessels to be utilized in the contract is a new-build offshore subsea construction vessel while the other is a light construction vessel. Both vessels will be chartered on a long- term basis.
John Evans, Subsea 7′s Chief Operating Officer, said: "We are very pleased to have been awarded this important contract extension and to be able to continue growing our valued relationship with BP. This award highlights our proven track record for safely delivering successful Life-of-Field operations."

Maersk Bags Gulf of Mexico Contract for Its Under-Construction Drillship
More than one year prior to delivery Denmark's Maersk Drilling has signed a contract with a major oil company for the first in a series of four identical ultra deepwater drillships currently under construction.
The contract duration is three years and commencement is expected by end 2013 upon delivery from Samsung Heavy Industries in South Korea and mobilization to the US Gulf of Mexico. The estimated contract value is USD 610 million including mobilization, but excluding cost escalation and performance bonus.
"With the signing of this contract for the first of our four ultra deepwater newbuild drillship we are able to add another USD 610 million to our contract backlog providing a solid basis for our further growth," says Claus V. Hemmingsen, CEO of Maersk Drilling and member of the Executive Board of the A.P. Moller – Maersk Group. "The US Gulf of Mexico remains a focus area of Maersk Drilling, and we are pleased to enhance our presence in this attractive market. With permitting activity normalizing after the Macondo incident in 2010 and the lease sales in the region, we believe the fundamental demand for our services in this region is in place".
Maersk Drilling has performed deepwater operations in the US Gulf of Mexico since 2009 with the ultra deepwater semi-submersible MÆRSK DEVELOPER.
Facts about the four newbuild ultra deepwater drillships
In 2011 Maersk Drilling ordered four ultra deepwater drillships at Samsung Heavy Industries in South Korea. The rigs will be delivered in 2013 and 2014. The total investment was USD 2.6 billion.
The design and capacities of the new drillships include features for high efficiency operation. Featuring dual derrick and large subsea work and storage areas, the design allows for efficient well construction and field development activities through offline activities.
With their advanced positioning control system, the ships automatically maintain a fixed position in severe weather conditions with waves of up to 11 metres and wind speeds of up to 26 metres per second.
Special attention has been given to safety onboard the drillships. Equipped with Multi Machine Control (MMC) on the drill floor, the high degree of automation ensures safe operation and consistent performance. Higher transit speeds and increased capacity will reduce the overall logistics costs for oil companies.

Subsea Trenching Beast – A Look At The Helix T1200
By John Konrad On April 5, 2012
Need to cut a 30 foot deep trench in the bottom of the ocean floor to run flowlines out to a new production rig?
No problem. Helix Energy Solutions' new T1200 subsea trenching behemoth is just what you're looking for.
Looking like a mix between a space ship and an Abrams battle tank, the T1200 is a massive piece of equipment weighing in at over 33 tons (30,000kg) and towering to a height of 12.6ft (3.8m).
While not yet in service, construction of the T1200 trenching and burial unit is one step closer to entering service following testing and installation of its two enormous caterpillar tracks.
The vehicle also got wet for the first time in the manufacturer's test tank in central England. Still undergoing final fitting, the T1200 is expected to be delivered to Helix ESG this summer and will begin work on board another new asset to Helix ESG's ROV Support Vessel fleet, the Grand Canyon.
The 1,125hp ROV will use high-powered water jets to cut up to 30 feet into the seafloor and lay power cables, or other tubular products like oil and gas pipelines.
The Grand Canyon is a new build offshore construction vessel that will host a new T1200 jet trencher, two 200HP XLX ROV systems onboard along with two more ROV systems. The Grand Canyon is 125m x 25m and has a 250t crane, monopool, dynamic positioning systems and helideck. Accommodations are for up to 108 personnel and will be deployed for work in Europe's growing offshore wind farm projects where her ROVs will conduct power cable trenching and burial operations.

Accommodation is very limited in Santa Maria and António kindly offered he could help me with finding a place to stay. He asked in several hotels and pensions but most of them were quite pricey, especially a single room. Then he somehow came across the telephone number of senhora Valentina from Vila do Porto. She said there was no problem staying with her, she would be waiting for me at the appointed time. And she did not want to charge for the room. I brought her a nice souvenir from Slovenia in gratitude to her immense kindness. Later she told me that her husband died only half a year ago so she was glad to have company.
On my arrival to Santa Maria I called Luis, the guy who lived in Valentina's house. He came to pick me up at the airport and brought to the house. It was quite a big and nice house on two floors. Downstairs there was a Restaurante café 'O Jorge', owned by Valentina's brother. I've got a room with a double bed. She put a big bottle of water (with a glass) for me on beside table. I could use a whole apartment, including a huge bathroom, kitchen, living room and terrace. Valentina kindly offered me fruits and soup and she always welcomed me with a friendly smile and a big hug. She was such a sweet lady!

Hotel 5: Too Stark for this Lovely Island
The staff was very friendly and professional. Dinner in the dining room was mediocre, with a standard continental breakfast. Many choices .
This hotel does have a pool, but at least 1/2 of the hotel is still under construction. In fact, I thought it was a factory when we were driving towards the building.
The 4 star Hotel 5 opened in 2004, and features an outdoor swimming pool, with a gymnasium and hairdresser available in 2005.
The hotel has100 rooms and 5 suites.
Satellite TV

[caption id="attachment_99399" align="alignleft" width="300"] Paul Weller at John Varvatos' 10 Years in West Hollywood Celebration, two nights before he played the Greek. Photo: Jason Merritt, Getty Images[/caption]
Paul Weller's Greek Theatre show had only been underway a short time when he arrived at the snappy, new retro-leaning ditty "That Dangerous Age." The lyrical protagonist goes through a midlife crisis, but this legendary rocker sure didn't sing it from recent personal experience.
Back home in England, Weller is nearly as popular now at 54 as he was fronting the trailblazing punk/R&B trio the Jam at 24. Headlining large venues and festivals is still the norm there, and all his solo albums have gone Top 10. The strong current one, Sonik Kicks, came out last spring and entered the U.K. charts at No. 1. Noel Gallagher, Blur's Graham Coxon, the High Llamas' Sean O'Hagan are among those who assisted in the studio.
Unquestionably, the past few years have seen the Modfather (as Weller is affectionately known) craft some of the most adventurous and compelling music of his lengthy career. Here in America, the singer/guitarist remains a revered cult figure among a brilliant talent roster at North Carolina-based independent label Yep Roc Records.
Initial dates supporting Sonik Kicks included an entire run through the new collection. Nowadays Weller leans toward doing quick concert blitzes through select North American cities, and Los Angeles was the only proper West Coast stop in 2012. The Greek didn't come close to being sold out Friday night, yet it was still his biggest Southern California appearance in 20 years, when he last headlined at the Griffith Park venue.
Clad in a black blazer, T-shirt and gray pants, Weller and his five-piece band kicked off the 1 hour, 45-minute set with a surprise: "My Ever Changing Moods." The smooth 1984 song, recorded with the Style Council, is his best-known career hit stateside, reaching No. 29 on Billboard's Hot 100. That immediately got the crowd excited; a fierce take on the Jam's "Running on the Spot" did even more so.
"When Your Garden's Overgrown," one of six tracks served up from Sonik Kicks, surmises what Syd Barrett might have done had he never joined Pink Floyd. Longtime guitarist Steve Craddock (also of English group Ocean Colour Scene) supplied squelching effects amid some rattling percussion.
"This is from way back in the last century," Weller said before dusting off "Just Who Is the 5 O'Clock Hero?," another choice nugget from 1982's The Gift, source of a signature Jam song not played this night ("Town Called Malice") and recently the subject of a deluxe 30th anniversary reissue in the U.K. Andy Crofts' organ solos brought that piece to a new level, and it was followed by the mellow soul vibe of the Style Council's "The Cost of Loving" and another Gift gem, a spiky rendition of "Carnation."
One of the evening's many standouts came via the epic, trippy rock of a revamped "Foot of the Mountain," where amazing wah-wah fretwork from Craddock (which Weller later joined) resulted in a plenty of loud cheers.
Weller handled keys on the Style Council's watery chill-out ballad "Long Hot Summer" and the psychedelic new "Dragonfly," with lyrics by his young daughter Jessie. His passionate vocal on the ballad "You Do Something to Me" was gorgeous as ever, and the same held true for "Moon on Your Pyjamas" (a languid slow-burner about one of his sons, from 1993's Wild Wood) and the sleek "Above the Clouds" (from his 1992 solo debut)
The "Taxman"-esque groove of the Jam's "Start!" was lean and mean – a real crowd-pleaser. The frenetic "Kling I Klang," inspired by Krautrock act Neu!, and the Style Council's vibrant "Shout to the Top!" (here with an Aztec Camera-style acoustic guitar shuffle from Craddock, plus reverb-laden vocals from the star) elevated the intensity level several notches.
Entering the home stretch, Weller suddenly seemed agitated by the Greek's 10:30 p.m curfew. A high-energy "Strange Town" sounded sharp, the audience clapping along amid dual guitar runs from Craddock and his boss. The dark, almost gothic "Around the Lake" featured spooky vocal effects and an intense guitar workout to finish the main set. Finally, the tender "Broken Stones," with Weller back on keyboards, and the wicked late-'60s psychedelic undertones of "The Changingman" ended the night on a high note.
Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings formed a decade ago in Brooklyn, helped popularize a classic R&B revival in the 2000s and soon became in-demand studio/live players for the likes of Amy Winehouse, Mark Ronson, Al Green, Rufus Wainwright and others. Two of their albums have sold more than 100,000 copies each.
The tight 10-piece group, complete with horn section and two backing vocalists, performed a 45-minute warm-up set in L.A. that was a revelation for newcomers. Jones totally commanded the stage and reveled in the music, dancing up a storm, kicking her legs into the air and letting loose soulful wails like Tina Turner, although at times she could be subtle, recalling Irma Thomas.
Among the sizzling highlights were a pair of tunes from 2010's I Learned the Hard Way: "Without a Heart," for which Jones invited a portly older male fan onstage to humorously gyrate alongside her, and the conga-driven "She Ain't a Child No More." Also sharp: the feisty "New Shoes" (allowing her to "walk right out that door") and a slinky cover of the early Gladys Knight tune "Giving Up."

5 Thoughts - Rose Bowl
Illinois 17
2008 CFN Rose Bowl Preview
2008 Rose Bowl History, Each Team's Best Bowl Moments, &
1. USC might
have won in a blowout, but this just isn't the USC that was
everyone's preseason No. 1. The defense is certainly special, and
winning the Rose Bowl is always great no matter what else happened
during the year, but this isn't a typical USC offense despite all
the points put up in the debacle. To be USC, there has to be
more big play ability from the receiving corps, and there needs to
be more from the quarterback. John David Booty was fine with a nice
stretch over the second half of the year, but he got 15 days to
throw, like he did last year against Michigan, had his choice of
open targets to hit time and again on short to midrange throws, and
more often than not, Fred David and Joe McKnight did the rest.
There's no question this is one of the best teams in America, but
don't just assume this is the same national championship caliber
Trojan team of past seasons. Illinois just isn't that great.
2. Get the Joe McKnight hype machine rolling. While not Reggie Bush,
he's just as fluid, almost as quick, and as exciting as anyone in
college football. Now the goal will be to figure out how to use him.
He's not going to be a 30-carry-per-game back who'll be a tough
workhorse, but he has to have the ball in his hands at least 15
times and he has to get the ball in space as much as humanly
possible. He's great at creating his own holes and has the talent to
make anyone miss one on one, but when he has the ball on the move,
forget about it.
3. Why did Illinois insist on staying with Juice Williams for so
long? The offense needed more of a downfield passing threat as the
game went on, and while Williams had his moments and came up with a
few good strikes to move the offense, Eddie McGee should've at least
got a series or two just to see if he could add a little more of a
spark early on. The passing game has to be more than just a few
little screen passes. It's possible head coach Ron Zook is sending a
message for 2008 and beyond; this is Juice's team. By leaving in his
starter, Zook is saying he'll sink or swim with one of the key
players who got the Illini to Pasadena, and can get them back with a
little bit of tweaking. Illinois beat Ohio State by getting big
plays early from the passing game. There's a ceiling on what
Illinois can do if Williams doesn't improve.
4. Let this be a lesson to the Rose Bowl, the BCS, and everyone who
tries to force tradition over great matchups. The Big Ten – Pac 10
thing in the Rose Bowl only matters if you have the two champions.
If it was Georgia vs. USC, there would've been more of a buzz, it
would've been a far better game and would've held far more
significance. Do we really know anything more about USC? Beating
Georgia would've settled a lot more debates and would've cleared up
the season a lot better. Illinois was a deer caught in the
headlights from the start. All week long this didn't seem like a
team ready for primetime with a happy-to-be-here attitude (no matter
what was said in interviews) compared to the
been-there-done-everything Trojans. Sometimes teams have to take
their lumps before they can get to the next level, but do they have
to come in the Rose Bowl? Illinois didn't belong in the BCS, and it
5. Illinois head man Ron Zook won national coach of the year honors,
but is he really more than a top-notch recruiter? The jury is still
out on that one. He wasn't great in bowl games at Florida, his
Illini team wasn't even remotely close to being competitive for most
of this game, and there weren't many adjustments that worked to slow
down the Trojans on either side of the ball.
Worst Rose Bowl ever? The Miami blasting of Nebraska for the 2001
national title wasn't pretty, but Rashard Mendenhall and Arrelious
Benn home runs aside, this was the ugliest Rose Bowl since the last
time Illinois came to Pasadena and soiled itself in a 45-9 loss to
UCLA in 1984. So what went so wrong? Is Illinois really this bad? Of
course not. It needed to get more from both lines never took
advantage of the early momentum swings. It's not like the Illini
didn't show fight and it's not like it quit, but it seemed like it
knew it was over early, found a little bit of a spark with a few big
plays, and then went right back to getting its doors blown off. Now
it'll be interesting to see how Zook and his team handle this and
build off it. Still incredibly young, this could be the ultimate
motivational tool going into next year.

I get that they feel racials are a beginning of expansion type thing to address, but we did provide feedback that the Troll racial was OP during MoP beta, and for the most part Blizzard has remained mum on the matter. They must be making too much money from faction changes for us to have any shot at convincing them to remove racials, an antiquated feature of WoW.
Edit: Well anyway this thread motivated me to fire off a last-minute GC tweet. Not expecting anything to come of it though.

Welcome Spring With Tattle Tail From Crash's Landing

We've had lots of recalled products lately from meat, to dog food, to medicine, even toys, cars.....the list is seemingly endless.
But, now it's Cat Food! And, Michigan Veterinarians are urging people to stop using and return or discard certain bags of cat food manufactured by Diamond Pet Foods after the company issued a voluntary recall affecting 25 states on Sunday.
As we lose an hour of sleep this month, why not gain something else?
Adopt Frank from Crash's Landing and gain a loving companion!
If you're in the Radio or TV business, and on-the-air, you've been here. Something funny gets you and you can't stop laughing, no matter how hard you try. It's horrible for you, but very funny for the viewer.
March has arrived.
Forget "in like a lion, out like a lamb".
Bring March in with a CAT, from Crash's Landing!
Dreams of warmer temperatures are entering the minds of many across West Michigan. But winter's not done yet.
Waiting for spring is tough.
It would be a lot more fun with a new friend from Crash's Landing.
Al Jowlson needs a home. Can you help?
We have no idea why, but animals are like, super talented when it comes to photography. Remember how they're master photobombers? That's just the beginning. Even though their talent is slightly greater than that of us humans, there are zero complaints on our end, because the result is always entertaining, adorable, strangely hilarious or all of the above.
I'm so sorry that we couldn't have a pet visit today on "Andy in the Morning." But, because of the weather yesterday and today, it just wasn't possible for the Humane Society to feel safe about bringing one of their cute furry critters into the studio this morning.
It won't be long before the Valentine's Day candy is gone, but some sweet things endure. Crash's Landing's Inga is one of those sweet things.
Inga needs a family to love her.
My wife and I were watching one of our favorite TV shows, "Sunday Morning" on CBS, Sunday morning, no less, when we noticed out cat was watching, too.

Obtaining Successful CCD
Light Curves of Faint Cataclysmic Variables
Paula Szkody
Department of Astronomy,
University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195
Presented at the 3rd
AAVSO CCD Workshop, June 6, 1993
There are advantages and
disadvantages to using CCDs for producing light curves of variables that were
previously too faint to observe with photometers. With the availability of more
data on fainter sources comes increased effort in data handling and reduction.
Examples of light curves of 16th-20th magnitude cataclysmic variables obtained
with a 36-inch telescope are shown. Some techniques that have proven helpful
for maximizing the results on the short time scale variability of cataclysmic
variables are discussed.

Land use study aims to inventory state's assets
By Kevin Lavery, WKAR News
East Lansing, MI – Land use experts are inviting the public to learn how they can identify Michigan's best physical and natural resources to make the state a more prosperous place to live.
Michigan State University is leading a research project that will ask people all over the state to think about what makes a vibrant community. Starting Monday, organizers are offering 100 free training programs to help people identify strategies to position their regions for state and federal funding.
Soji Adelaja directs MSU's Land Policy Institute.
"It's necessary to get back to the drawing board and say, what do we have, what can we be good at, and what do we have the resources to be able to be first at?" says Adelaja.
The first training session in mid-Michigan takes place Tuesday night in East Lansing. The sessions will run through mid-June.

White Collar Promo: "Vested Interest"Matt Richenthal at . Comments
Suspect the twist is that Sam is Neal's father as suggested by many others. I say that based on the tone in Neal's voice when he asks "Why didn't you tell me?" If it were another kind of deception, the tone would be different. Don't know what I am going to do until WC comes back - watch reruns, I guess, but I will definitely miss the guys.

Nicki Minaj Cries Metallic Tears in 'Pills N Potions' Video [NSFW]
Nicki Minaj continues to embrace her "back to basics" aesthetic in her new 'Pills N Potions' video.
Nicki Minaj continues to embrace her "back to basics" aesthetic in her new 'Pills N Potions' video.
Here is a heartwarming story to brighten up your Monday: Over the weekend, Nicki Minaj granted the wish of a young fan who is suffering from cancer, bringing her a bright pink wig to wear.
Nicki Minaj is known for her array of wigs. She even has wig stylists. She rocks a different length, texture and 'do every time we see her. The Queen of the Barbz posted a few photos to her Instagram showing off her real hair. We know you wanna see Nicki au naturel.
Beyonce may be the Queen Bey, but Nicki Minaj is also all about embracing your inner royalty. The 'Freedom' MC and onetime 'American Idol' judge channels the regale of Bey and the fairy tale dreams of Taylor Swift in her latest fragrance commercial for Minajesty.
Nicki Minaj is no shrinking violet. The singer posted a new batch of topless photos on Instagram, showing off her big and bodacious twins. She kept things PG -- sort of -- thanks to the leopard-print, star-shaped pasties she affixed to her nipples.
Considering Twitter is the easiest medium for which celebs to communicate with fans, the press and one another, it's no surprise that a lot of famous folk are sort of addicted to it. So much so that when they leave, they come right back.
About to hit the wall and need a late week pick-me-up? Well, we have something to wake you up, courtesy of her Minajesty -- Nicki Minaj. The well-endowed, voluptuous vixen shared a topless photo on Instagram, with a curtain of long black hair being all that covers her nips.
Nicki Minaj covers the August 2013 issue of Marie Claire, the first female rapper to do so.
"It's Barbie, b----!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Just when you didn't think Carly Rae Jepsen could get any cuter or girlier, she collaborates with the queen of pink herself, Nicki Minaj. And the collabo is said to be amazing -- not that you'd expect anything less from these ladies.
Love her or hate her, Nicki Minaj is regarded as arguably the best judge on 'American Idol' for season 12, giving insight beyond that of legendary multi-octave diva Mariah Carey.
But that doesn't mean Minaj necessarily wants to do this ever again.
What happens when Justin Bieber's backup dancer's flight gets cancelled? Of course they have to dance.

Vedic and Brahmanic rites
Vedic religion is primarily a liturgy differentiated in various types of ritual, which are described in the sacred texts in great detail and are designed for almost any purpose. In these rites, theoretically, no operation, no gesture, no formula is meaningless or left to an officiant's discretion. The often complicated ritual technique, based on an equally complicated speculative system of thought, was devised mainly to safeguard human life and survival, to enable people to face the many risks and dangers of existence, to thwart the designs of human and superhuman enemies that cannot be counteracted by ordinary means, to control the unseen powers, and to establish and maintain beneficial relations with the supramundane sacred order. Belief in the efficacy of the rites is the natural consequence of the belief that all things and events are connected with or participate in one another.
Another characteristic of Vedic religion is the belief that there is a close correspondence between sacred places—such as the sacrificial place of many Vedic rites, a place of pilgrimage, or a consecrated area—and provinces of the universe or even the universe itself. In such places, direct communication with other cosmic regions (heaven or underworld) is possible, because they are said to be at the point of contact between this world and the "pillar of the universe"—the "navel of the earth." The sacred place is understood as identical to the universe in its various states of emanation from, reabsorption into, integration with, and disintegration from the sacred. This idea has as its corollary the possibility of ritually enacting the cosmic drama and, thus, of influencing those events in the cosmos that continuously affect human weal and woe.
The Vedic ritual system is organized into three main forms. The simplest, and hierarchically inferior, type of Vedic ritualism is the grihya, or domestic ritual, in which the householder offers modest oblations into the sacred household fire. The more ambitious, wealthy, and powerful married householder sets three or five fires and, with the help of professional officiants, engages in the more complex shrauta sacrifices. These require oblations of vegetable substances and, in some instances, of parts of ritually killed animals. At the highest level of Vedic ritualism are the soma sacrifices, which can continue for days or even years and whose intricacies and complexities are truly stunning.
In the major shrauta rites, requiring three fires and 16 priests or more, "the man who knows"—the person with insight into the correspondences (bandhu) between the mundane and cosmic phenomena and the eternal transcendent reality beyond them and who knows the meaning of the ritual words and acts—may, it is believed, set great cosmic processes in motion for the benefit of humanity. In these rites, Brahman officiants repeat the mythic drama for the benefit of their patron, the "sacrificer," who temporarily becomes its centre and realizes through ritual symbolism his identity with the universe. Such officiants are convinced of the efficacy of their rites: "the sun would not rise, were he [the officiant] not to make that offering; this is why he performs it" (Shatapatha Brahmana). The oblations should not be used to propitiate the gods or to thank them for favours bestowed, since the efficacy of the rites, some of which are still occasionally performed, does not depend on the will of the gods.

So at first I was impressed with this unit. Easy install and set up. I have it in a 2008 PT Cruiser with front components, rear 3 ways and a 12" Crunch DVC sub in a ported box. These are running off of 2 MB Quart amps.
Now after having this unit installed for a few months and having enjoyed it, here is where the problems start.
1. If I run the unit for any period of about 20 minutes plus, it will start to turn off and then back on by itself. I can not find a logical reason for this to happen. The back-light will stay on, but the text disappears and it goes back to the Welcome screen as if it just turned on. Sometime if I give a little bump with the heal of my hand, it will work for a while before doing it again.
2. The fuse has blown twice now. Easy enough to replace, but why should I have to? Plus 1AMP fuse?? Geez these are hard to find.
3. Some of the MP3s from my SD Card do not play correctly. Sometimes I will skip forward to the song of the next album and it will play about 3 seconds of it, the skip back to the song it was just playing. Skip ahead again and the text number changes, but after a few seconds it will revert back to the previous track, but the display does not. Pretty weird.
4. The bluetooth is shoddy. It connects nicely and plays for a while, but sometimes the music from my phone will just pause and will not connect to the head unit until I restart the phone. Maybe it is an issue with the phone, but judging by the other issues I have with this unit, I assume the phone is fine.
I bought this unit because none of the major brands use an SD slot... Which I can not understand. Who wants a USB drive sticking out of their head unit???

'68 M34 Water Tank Fill Hose Question
Here's the short-version question: does anyone know how the "two hose" water fill actually connects to the fresh water tank on a '68 M34?
Here's the longer version:
I'm replacing the fresh water deck to tank fill hose. The original was in place and--frankly--disgusting. I've never used the tank. Upon removing the outer hose at the deck fill, I found a smaller hose running inside. The two were attached by a s.s. screw running through both hoses just under the deck plate. I opened the deck fill plate (for the first time). The inner hose just floats free at the fill plate. I.e. when filling the tank, I assume water could easily end up going down the inner or outer hose. Now, my problem is removing the hoses from the tank fitting. The outer hose is attached to a grey pvc elbow fitting that runs thru the chain locker bulkhead to the tank--which means I can't see the actual attachment at the tank. I have no idea what the inner hose is attached to, if anything. The pvc fitting appears ready to [twist/unscrew?] clockwise, but the inner hose appears to be preventing it.
Here's what would make sense to me: the inner hose just acts as a vent when filling the tank. it just floats inside the outer hose, with no fitting at the tank. The grey elbow has a screw fitting attachment to the tank.
Any ideas out there?

IN THE EAST TEXAS TOWN OF KILGORE, KATIE'S WAS JUST ANOTHER beer joint perched next to Texas Highway 135. Inside, there were a few tables the size of hubcaps, a small pool table, a jukebox, and some Dallas Cowboys posters tacked to the plywood walls. The customers were white working-class people. Most of the men who stopped in for the $1 bottled beer were oil-field workers still trying to make a living from the dregs of what was once the largest oil field in the world. They arrived in unwashed pickup trucks. They wore shirts that had their first names sewn above their pockets. Their wives or girlfriends often came along, sitting at separate tables, smoking cigarettes and calling each other "honey." The owner, a rusty-voiced woman named Katie Moore who had been operating East Texas honky-tonks for more than thirty years, liked to call Katie's a "quiet little family place." But on the night of July 21, 1994, Sandra Cash, the 32-year-old barmaid who was paid $30 a night to serve the beer, crawled to the phone and made a 911 call. "Please help me," she rasped. "I am choking."
A young Kilgore police officer, one of the first to arrive at Katie's, was so horrified by what he saw that for months afterward he needed counseling. Behind the bar, Cash was barely alive, her spinal cord severed by as many as six shots that had been fired into her. The four customers who had been at Katie's that night were crumpled on the floor, each one shot in the head. Patricia Colter, a 54-year-old Wal-Mart employee, and her 44-year-old husband, Duane, who worked at a Kilgore company that built ceramic toilet fixtures, were closest to the front door, face down, blood from their heads seeping into the carpet. Alvin "Buddy" Waller, a 54-year-old oil-well worker, was lying a few feet away with a pool cue in his hand. He had been shot once in the leg, once in the back of the head, and once through the left eye. Because of the gunpowder on his face, investigators knew that the killer had stuck the gun right up to Waller's eye and pulled the trigger. Luva Congleton, a 68-year-old retiree, had crawled under the pool table to hide. The killer had walked to the pool table, leaned down, and shot her. The only item missing from Katie's was a gray fishing tackle box that Cash used to keep the bar receipts. It held $308.
Throughout the night and into the next morning, officers and agents arrived from the Federal Bureau of Investigation; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms ( ATF); the Texas Rangers; the Department of Public Safety's mobile crime laboratory; two sheriff's departments; and the Kilgore Police Department. The mayor came. The local press showed up too. Describing Patricia Colter in her younger years, a reporter for the Kilgore News Herald wrote, "[She] looked like she could have gone to Hollywood and become a movie star." Katie's regulars stood behind the yellow police tape and told anyone who would listen that the killer or killers had to have come from Goat Hill, a poor black neighborhood just down the highway. "Crack city," one called it. "Nigger heaven," said another.
Two days later, the police announced they had found the killer: nineteen-year-old Goat Hill resident DaRoyce Mosley, a former honors student at Kilgore High School, member of the student council, and starter on the basketball team who had gone on to Kilgore College. Tall and smooth-skinned, with a dazzling, broad smile, DaRoyce was one of the few black teenagers whom any Kilgore resident knew by name. "He was just about the first kid to cross the racial lines in Kilgore, which is saying a lot for a town that's still got some Old South in it," said his friend William Linn, a former high school classmate who is white. "I mean, it's no secret that whites and blacks here keep their distance from one another. But DaRoyce made a point of making white friends. He kept saying that he wanted to be successful and that he didn't want to be stuck in his part of town."
DaRoyce's arrest—and the district attorney's decision to seek the death penalty—was unfathomable to many Kilgore residents. This was a kid, people said over and over, who talked about becoming a doctor or a lawyer. "I'd have called him studious," said former Kilgore mayor Bob Barbee. " 'Respectful' is the word I would always use to describe him," added Kathy McMillan, a schoolteacher whose son was one of DaRoyce's closest friends. "He'd come over to spend the night here, and he'd always carry on an intelligent conversation with us in this very gentle voice."
But after an all-night interrogation, DaRoyce had signed a confession in which he admitted that he had agreed to accompany his 31-year-old uncle, Ray Don Mosley, on a robbery along with Marcus Smith, a 16-year-old Goat Hill teenager with a juvenile record. DaRoyce said that although he had tried several times that night to back out of the robbery, his uncle Ray Don, one of the most feared criminals in the Goat Hill neighborhood, persuaded him to come inside the bar. "I had never done anything bad before, and I felt like doing something bad," DaRoyce said in the confession. After they walked in, he said, Ray Don shot Sandra Cash. "The people looked at me and it scared me and I shot a lady at a table," DaRoyce said. He then said Ray Don pointed a gun at him and ordered him to kill everyone else or be shot himself.
For the police, the case was open and shut. But plenty of Kilgore's citizens were convinced that the confession was not the truth. DaRoyce's friends insisted that he hated guns: When he had gone along with them on camping trips, he wouldn't hold a gun, let alone shoot one. A psychiatrist and a psychologist who arrived sep-arately to interview Da-Royce said that

Hospital districts in North County turf war
The statement drew a snicker from Anderson. "If they're doing something according to the law, that's amazing," he said.
Krider retorted that Anderson was misinformed and misguided. "Unfortunately, he doesn't know what he's talking about," Krider said.
Krider said the clinics, staffed by nurse practitioners, provide much-needed affordable health care and alleviate overcrowding in emergency rooms.
They are not profitable, Krider said. Existing clinics made 40 referrals a month to Palomar Pomerado physicians. Assuming they were all admitted to the hospital, the district made $300 per patient, Krider said.
Palomar Pomerado spokesman Andy Hoang added that more than 20 percent of the patients at existing Palomar Pomerado clinics come from Oceanside, Carlsbad and Vista, within Tri-City territory.
"The clinics meet a need. We're interested in expanding accessibility (to health care)," Krider said.

Difficult days ahead with increased load from agriculture sector; fall in inflows into dams
Highest ever demand of 201.35 million units of power on Wednesday
Previous highest supply for a single day was 199 mu during March last
HYDERABAD: The APTransco set a record on Wednesday by supplying 201.35 million units (mu) of power to consumers, the highest demand it has ever met.
The previous highest supply for a single day was 199 mu during March last. The demand in the State, in fact, touched 215 million units on Wednesday following increased load from agriculture sector with the onset of the rabi season and the Transco supplied 201.35 mu against this, by continuing the cut in rural areas to the extent of 13.65 mu.
Restrictions imposed
The demand is likely to go up further due to a general rise in power consumption by 14 per cent, increase in cropped area under rabi, and the possible dry spell. The Irrigation Department has imposed restrictions on APTransco on using water for power generation from Srisailam and Nagarjunasagar.
This restriction, coupled with the sudden fall in inflows into these dams, has brought down the daily hydel generation to 50 mu from 70 mu.
As summer-like situation is unfolding slowly in the State, the APTransco is bracing itself to meet the challenge again.
As part of an action plan, the utility has begun to use naphtha as fuel to operate all "combined cycle" power plants, especially Lanco at Kondapalli and is presently purchasing 4.5 mu daily from Power Exchange, which was set up at national level recently, after enrolling itself as a member, said K. Vijayanand, joint MD, APTransco.
Purchase of power
Besides, the APTransco is calling tenders almost twice a month to purchase additional power from private traders but the "response has been lukewarm" as there is tremendous pressure on them from other States too.
He said a huge sum of Rs 3,000 crore had been set aside for purchase of power from external sources during this year.
"We are passing through a difficult period but we hope we will be able to meet the demand".

In the running: Gravity director Alfonso Cuaron and star Sandra Bullock are both nominated for Baftas, as is the movie itself. - EPA
SPACE drama Gravity received 11 Bafta nominations on Wednesday, one more than the Oscar-tipped 12 Years A Slave.
Gravity star Sandra Bullock was nominated for best actress, while Alfonso Cuaron is in the running for best director in Britain's equivalent of the Oscars.
British filmmaker Steve McQueen was nominated for best director for his brutal slavery epic 12 Years A Slave, while its star Chiwetel Ejiofor is nominated for the lead actor gong.
Michael Fassbender and rising Kenyan actress Lupita Nyong'o received supporting nominations for their role in the film, which is hotly tipped for Oscar glory.
Ejiofor, who was raised in London, said: "I continue to be immensely proud of the recognition this film is getting around the world. There is, of course, something particularly special about receiving a Bafta nomination from home."
American Hustle, the drama about two con artists embroiled with the FBI in the 1970s, equalled the 10 Bafta nominations for 12 Years A Slave.
Its star Christian Bale will go up against Ejiofor, Tom Hanks for Captain Phillips, Bruce Dern for Nebraska and Leonardo DiCaprio for The Wolf Of Wall Street for the best leading man award.
Bookmakers immediately made Ejiofor favourite to win his category with odds of 1-4, while 12 Years A Slave is their favourite for best film.
In the best actress category, Bullock will challenge American Hustle star Amy Adams, Cate Blanchett for Blue Jasmine, Emma Thompson for Saving Mr Banks and Judi Dench for Philomena.
Captain Phillips and Philomena – based on a true story about the Catholic Church in Ireland selling babies to wealthy Americans in the 1950s – complete the five-strong list of contenders for best film.
The awards ceremony takes place at the Royal Opera House in London on Feb 16. – AFP Relaxnews

Nasreddine (edition 2013)
by Odile Weulersse, Rbecca Dautremer (Illustrator)
Work details
Nasreddine by Odile Weulersse
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This book was about a little boy that wanted to please everyone in the village. After trying so hard to please everyone and hush their comments, Nasreddine's father teaches him that people always find a way to criticize you but you just have to ignore it. This book was set in the Middle East, so it shows Turkish culture throughout the book.
Nesreddine has a traditional literature feel and carries the message to be unique and to avoid the desire to change themselves to please others. The book features a boy and his father. Their relationship is quite caring and supportive while delivering the main message, "You can't be afraid that other people will judge you or make fun of you."
Personal Reaction:
I enjoyed the story and the illustrations. The fact that the book is set in the Middle East makes it an especially exciting addition to my library as I procure international and multicultural literature.
Classroom Activities:
1. In the classroom, we can discuss unique talents and gifts of the children, emphasizing that we need those diverse talents to make our classroom better.
2. We can locate the Middle East on a map and discuss the setting of the story.
Nasreddine is an excellent book with an insightful meaning. It describes the life of Nasreddine, a little boy from the Middle East, who is very worried about what people think of him. I really enjoyed the book because I felt like I was reading a parable. This is because the story has a very simple, yet powerful meaning just like the stories Jesus tells in the bible. All throughout the story Nasreddine is trying to appease the opinions of his peers by adjusting his behavior to fit their standards. Nasreddine's father allows him to do this throughout the majority of the book. Nasreddine's father is a very wise man who eventually enlightens his son on the dangers of listening to others instead of trusting yourself. Nasreddine's father tells his son that people will always find a way to criticize him but that it is up to him to decide whether their criticism is wise or not. The story ends by Nasreddine saying "You can't be afraid that other people will judge you or make fun of you." These wise words are the "big idea" of the story. They tell children to not be afraid to be themselves and to ignore people who citizen them out of foolishness.
This version was well-done but not as humorous. It was still quite good though. I particularly liked the illustrations with their soft earth tones and Middle Eastern flavor. The lesson learned about not listening to the criticisms of everyone is a good one. "You can't be afraid that other people will judge you or make fun of you."
Young children will easily be able to associate with the concepts shared within these pages. Who among us has not spent time wishing that they hadn't overheard what someone had said about them? How many times to we fuss about our appearance because we want to be accepted? The modern phrasing of words "hurting our ears" blends perfectly with a story of more historical value and becomes something that children will ask you to read to them again and again.
Note: Though this book was a free gift from the author, the content of my review was in no way influenced by the gifting. The book speaks for itself and my review would have been worded just this way even if I'd gone out and bought it.

No descriptions found.
As Nasreddine and his father take dates, wool, chickens, or watermelon to market, people tease them no matter who is riding their donkey, and this causes Nasreddine embarrassment until his father helps him to understand.
