Anyways, maybe you could make a sequel/remake in the future?

When you do things right, no one will know you've done anything at all!
Hey there, I am on here looking for friends maybe more. I'm witty most of the time getting serious only when I have to. My goal is to get out more and try and be around people I enjoy being around. I don't like email or textual relationships because I'm terrible at keeping up with them but Im ok with it starting that way. I enjoy good music, always treat my friends like family and my family like friends, try to have a smile on my face at all times and not let things get the best of me, I'm intelligent, and try to understand how other people see things. My top 3 reasons why I think you'll like me is I'm funny , a good listener, and I can cook.
Coffee and conversation , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Video games
Baseball, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Inline skating, Martial arts, Other types of exercise, Skiing, Swimming, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Cats, Dogs, Exotic Pets, Fish, Horses
I don't have any. I am not opposed to it, but I am rarely home and I hope my decision has saved me many trips to the pet store returning expired animals, horses, exotic pets, and others as this question puts it.
Some other viewpoint
I think you know where my favorite HotSpot is but if you need help. In the spa, over a blanket or under covers on a cold night, near the fireplace in a log cabin when it's snowing out, or really just about any place we can make our own little fire.
Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, TX
Ordering 2 tacos and getting 3, coffeeine, Three point One Four, waking up late when you're really early, slower traffic IS on the right, getting emails instead of winks, all socks accounted for for in the laundry, and finally..gum
I like to go skiing, skydiving, rock climbing, or anything that makes me appreciate life. I also know some martial arts and play music which makes me a ninja musician so you won't hear me playing until it's too late.

John Steele Gordon: A Short History of Presidential Debates
Mr. Gordon is the author of An Empire of Wealth: The Epic History of American Economic Power (HarperCollins, 2004).
Perhaps the most remarkable thing about the history of presidential debates, given their recent importance, is how short that history is. Stephen A. Douglas and Abraham Lincoln had a famous series of debates. But that was in 1858, when both were candidates for the Senate from Illinois. They did not debate when they ran for president two years later.
In 1940, Republican Wendell Wilkie challenged Franklin Roosevelt to debate, but FDR, who had no wish to give his opponent any more exposure than necessary, declined. There were debates between Adlai Stevenson and Estes Kefauver when they were both candidates for the Democratic nomination in 1956, but Stevenson did not debate President Dwight Eisenhower in the fall.
Not until Sept. 26, 1960, did a presidential debate take place, between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon, the first of four debates that year. The audience was huge, about 70 million out of a U.S. population of 180 million. The issues discussed, including the so-called missile gap (with the Soviets) and the islands of Quemoy and Matsu (in the Strait of Taiwan), are now obscure at best. What is remembered is the personal appearance of the two candidates...

I don't know if it's the jail term he got or what but we hadn't seen FM Jr. behave like this in a long time. He's talking of God, he's talking very slowly and with extreme calmness like he's actually thinking before opening his mouth.
I'd imagine he'll ramp it up for 24/7 but THIS Floyd, I don't know....

Mayweather has no vendetta against Cotto like he had against Oscar Mosley and Hatton so this 24/7 will go smooth like the JMM one Roger will be the highlight of show with his usual sh*t talking I expect him to go in on Cotto though he don't hold his tongue for nobody

Sometimes it IS that bad.
I am sitting on my front steps with my head in my hands taking deep breaths, trying to stop shaking. My neighbor drives by and says, "Is it really that bad?" I throw up my hands, "Yes!"
I had originally planned on writing about something sweet and kind, something about my lovely children, something about the joys of motherhood. And then this L O N G Memorial Day weekend happened and I just don't have it in me.
Want to hear about it?
For this unofficial start of the summer weekend, we had a ton of fun, kid-oriented activities planned. The weather was fabulous. It should have been a picture perfect family weekend. And there were wonderful moments (that you know I captured for Facebook world) but there were also hours (and hours) of cranky, whiney, misbehaving, clingy, bored kids. I can't tell you how many times I lost it with my older son. I never knew I had it in me to yell like I did. Then, of course, the guilt overwhelms me and I hug him and apologize. Then he does something naughty again and I lose it again. This cycle played out for three very long days.read more

Secularist ideology is so entrenched in the policy-making and opinion-forming strata that it comes close to being the Established Religion of American public life. Thoughtful Christian young people who are interested in public affairs have few models of what it might mean to approach public affairs with a distinctively Christian point of view. Alan Crippen is one of those few models. He has been helping to form the minds of young Christians for years, and I celebrate the John Jay Institute."

A few weeks ago, my wife, son and I – food-festival groupies -- dropped in on the Jewish Food Festival at the Levin Jewish Community Center on Cornwallis Road.
North Carolinians can breathe a bit easier after the State House backed off some of the more extreme gun measures it had seemed poised to pass.
I'm one of the many people – Duke students and employees, alums like me, residents from Trinity Park and other nearby neighborhoods -- who enjoy the jogging/walking track just inside the stone wall that encircles the university's East Campus.
I sometimes tease my son, Andrew, that he chose his parents wisely.
Children don't choose their parents, of course, or the settings – socioeconomic, cultural, geographic – into which they are born and in which they grow up. Those factors can make enormous differences in the life they can expect.
Since the 2010 census, Durham has grown by more than 18,000 residents – a growth spurt of more than 8 percent, coming on the heels of 20-percent-plus growth the previous decade.
Last weekend, shopping and strolling through the Durham Farmers' Market as my family does most Saturdays, it was clear that we're heading into the bounteous season. Product and purchasers are becoming more plentiful, and I was reminded once again of how the market and its surroundings have transformed in the past decade.
Around the turn of the 20th century, Julius Rosenwald was building Sears, Robuck and Co. into the mail-order behemoth that embedded itself in American culture as that century's Amazon.com.
This past Friday marked the 40th anniversary of the fall of Saigon and the end to decades of war in Vietnam. As often happens these days, I was bemused by the realization that 50th anniversaries now mark events very much part of my memory and events 40 years ago were well into my adult, professional life.
In 1985, Joe Harvard was only a few years into what would be a distinguished three-decade tenure leading Durham's First Presbyterian Church.
The young pastor already was deeply involved in social ministry, and was part of the Durham Congregations in Action group who with others in the would join an effort spanning the globe to help people high on hope but low on assets become homeowners.
""The Habitat train is leaving the station. If you want to join us, you better get on board," Harvard said then – a remark recalled this past Tuesday when Habitat for Humanity Durham celebrated its 30th year.
It has much to celebrate.
Ten days ago, the nation celebrated the 150th anniversary of Confederate Gen. Robert E.
Lee's surrender to Union Gen. Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Courthouse in Virginia.
Grant declared "the war is over" and ever since that surrender has been seen as the
welcome conclusion to a civil war that tore about the nation less than a century after its
In declaring his presidential candidacy last month, Republican Ted Cruz took aim at the Internal Revenue Service.
"Instead of a tax code that crushes innovation, that imposes burdens on families struggling to make ends meet, imagine a simple flat tax that lets every American fill out his or her taxes on a postcard." Cruz said. "Imagine abolishing the IRS."
Driving to work last week, I was struck by a National Public Radio report from China.
Frank Langfitt, the network's China correspondent, had driven two brothers from Shanghai back to their native village, deep in the countryside. A theme of the piece was that both brothers, reared on a small farm where their parents still lived and where an outhouse was the toilet facility, had become successful lawyers in Shanghai.
Athena was the Greek goddess of war and wisdom, or, some would say, the embodiment of both evil and good.

Ryan, ever superstitious, won't go there much, so that's why you ask his old friend Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez.
"Oh, he wants it bad," Alvarez says. "Because, I would think he's gotta get tired of hearing that bulls---. I mean, he's a great coach. He goes down to the wire against Syracuse (in 2012), it goes down to the last possession, and it doesn't go his way. Now all of a sudden he's a lousy coach?"
No, Bo Ryan is a very good coach, partly because Butch taught him that -- and a few tricks, too.
Such as the time Bo's Little League coach had to work, and Butch took over. They were down 11-5 in the top of the last inning and nobody on the team seemed too worked up about it. So Butch had them pack everything up -- bats, balls, all of it. If they didn't care, he didn't care. "Everybody on the team starts yelling, crying," Bo remembers. "Not me. I knew what he was doing. ... Sure as I'm sitting here, we come back and win 12-11. So I learned early -- sometimes you send messages in different ways."
Bo's message to Wisconsin this close to paradise?
"Thank you for giving me 40 more minutes of basketball with you guys," he told his team.
And now, at 66, he waits for one more try at a ticket to a real Final Four, a Wisconsin Final Four, a Final Four that could give him the national championship he wants like he wants his next breath.
And if he loses Saturday?
"Man, I'm going to be looking for some company."
And that's when it's really going to hurt.

(Laurie Skrivan ~ Post-Dispatch)
Time has taken its toll.
At its peak, the 25-acre complex was the center of industry for the Old Lead Belt. Thousands of miners in the region worked for the St. Joseph Lead Co., which bought the mill in the 1920s. They called the company "Uncle Joe," and miners lived in nearby towns such as Leadington and Leadwood.
Lead was life.
Now, the complex is a historic site, and those who run it believe glory days of a different kind are ahead for this piece of Missouri history.
"This is my dream place," said Hebrank, 65. He and the staff want to expand the existing museum, restore more of the mining complex and display the artifacts they have but have never shown. If done correctly, the mining site that Hebrank says was once the largest of its kind in the world would become one of the best mining museums in the nation.
But with a $40 million budget to run 82 other sites and parks, the Missouri Division of State Parks has to be selective when it comes to spending.
Hebrank and others working toward the expansion just hope to see it in their lifetimes.
Hebrank has spent the last 40 years working for the state, mostly with the Department of Natural Resources' geology survey.
About 14 years ago, he became site administrator. He knows that labels on the displays shouldn't take more than 15 seconds to read. Otherwise, people lose interest, he says.
When it comes to museums, he also knows what this one could become.
When Hebrank takes a vacation he goes to other mine sites in the nation, bringing back ideas for the Park Hills museum. Name a state, and Hebrank can recite the names of the mining sites there.
The Park Hills complex was designated a historic site in 1980, about eight years after it closed. Drills, air compressors, shovels and ore cars were left behind. After the state took over, private donors and other museums began handing over collections.
What's on display at the site is only a fraction of what the museum has acquired.
The plans for the complex call for a replica of a mining company store near the entrance. Other buildings like the mill and machine shop would be restored.
Hebrank and the staff don't have an estimate for how much the project would cost. They don't have a timetable, either.
For now, they're using the funds they have to update the existing museum, which includes three galleries inside the site's 19,000-square-foot powerhouse.
Hebrank says he wouldn't put everything on display. "You have to think, 'What is the story we're going to tell?"' he said. "You can't just line it all up."
Hebrank and Delecia Huitt, of the Division of State Parks, will outline their vision in a development plan next month. These plans are written by all 83 sites and parks in the state on a rotating basis and outline goals for the next 10 years.

Indus Towers today said it will invest Rs 260 crore on setting up 1,000 new telecom towers in Punjab and Haryana in the current fiscal.
Bharti Airtel, Vodafone India and Idea Cellular who account for 85% of Indus Towers' revenue, have not set the ball rolling for expansion.
Indus Towers reinforced its go-green credo by turning 50,000 of its cell sites into outdoor sites across 15 circles switching off ACs at these locations.
Telecom tower operator Indus Towers today said it has converted 50,000 of its cell towers to outdoors eliminating the need for air-conditioners and thereby reducing energy consumption.
US PE firm Providence is looking to sell its 5% indirect holding in Indus Towers by offloading its stake in Idea Cellular, people familiar with the matter said.
Reliance Jio Infocomm today asked Delhi High Court to quash the letter of intent issued to Indus Towers by NDMC for providing free WiFi, through the 18,500 street poles in the area under the corporation's jurisdiction.
Apart from spectrum — the airwaves which carry your mobile phone calls — operators need towers to put up equipment to receive and transmit the calls.
Airtel has submitted a proposal requesting for permission to use government buildings to address issues such as frequent call drops and slower data speeds.

New online game: Dikembe Mutombo's 4½ weeks to save the world
Nov 28, 2012, 8:32 PM EDT
I don't know what I want for Christmas anymore because the people at Old Spice just gave me everything I have ever dreamed of.
Old Spice has launched a new online video game: Dikembe Mutombo's 4½ weeks to save the world.
You can find it at OldSpiceSavesTheWorld.com I will forever owe a debt of gratitude to The 700 Level for finding this, and doing the transcription of Mutombo himself describing the game.
"A kabillion some odd years ago-ish, the Mayans predicted the world will end on December 21, 2012, which is a terrible idea since we as humans have not even invented a self-combing hair yet.
"Someone had to defend our planet and prevent this from happening. And that defender had to be me: Dikembe Mutombo.
"For 4 1/2 weeks, I will courageously battle to save our world and, with your help, carve addition time into the Mayan calendar to buy us more time on the earth. That's why this game is called: "Dikembe Mutombo's 4 1/2 Weeks to Save the World."
That picture with the story — Mutombo playing the flute with a dove on his hand — is from the game. Each week a new level of the game is unlocked, this first week it is Mutombo saving us from the latest South Korean dance craze. The second week involves a random turkey and science bear tell you how to kill blurgies in a mine.
Why are you reading this — go play the game. Now.

Dikembe Mutombo can kill a man in 9 differerent languages…

When the Know-Nothings get control, it [the Declaration] will read "All men are created equal – except Negroes, foreigners and Catholics." When it comes to this, I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretense of loving liberty – to Russia , for instance – where despotism can be taken pure without the alloy of hypocrisy. ~ A.

This Is A True Statement, Unfortunately
About mid-afternoon, a terrific explosion shook downtown and rattled our building. Rattled a lot of people, too – I looked out the window to the courthouse and all these deputies came boiling out. Turned out a semi blew a tire, but the buildings on either side of the street compressed the blast waves and made it sound like a bomb. Trudy* came into my office.
She: Omygawd that scared me. Weren't you scared?
Me: I'm too dumb to be scared.

Good For What Ails You, British Edition
Beef Tea.
Ingredients.—One pound of shin of beef, one pint of water, a little salt, a few drops of lemon juice.
Method.—Take away all skin and fat from the beef, and shred it finely, putting it as you do so into a jar with the water, lemon juice, and salt; put on the lid and let it stand half an hour; stand the jar on a dripping tin with cold water, and put it in the oven for two hours. Stir up, pour off against the lid and remove any fat with kitchen paper.
Quick Beef Tea.
Ingredients.—Same as preceding.
Method.—Cut the meat up small and let it stand in the water twenty minutes; put in a saucepan and let it just heat through, pressing the pieces against the side with a wooden spoon.
Raw Beef Tea.
Ingredients.—Same as preceding.
Method.—Prepare as in the first recipe for beef tea; cover closely and let it stand for two hours; stir up and pour off. This must be made fresh often as it soon turns sour.
Strengthening Broth.
Method.—Take equal quantities of beef, mutton, and veal, and prepare in the same way as ordinary beef tea.
Mutton Broth.
Ingredients.—One pound of scrag of mutton, one pint of water, two ounces of pearl barley, salt, a blade of mace, a little chopped parsley.
Method.—Cut as much fat as possible from the meat; cut the meat up small and chop the bones; put the meat and bones in a saucepan with the water, mace, salt and barley, which should be blanched (see "Odds and Ends"). Put on the lid and simmer very gently for two hours. Stir up and pour off against the lid into a basin; stand in cold water in a larger basin for the fat to rise, skim well, re-heat and add a little chopped and blanched parsley.
Essence of Beef.
Ingredients.—One pound of shin of beef, two tablespoonfuls of water, a little salt, a few drops of lemon juice.
Method.—Scrape the meat, put it in a jar with the water, salt, and lemon juice; put on the lid and stand the jar in a saucepan of boiling water; let the water boil round it four hours. Stir up and pour off.
Raw Meat Sandwiches.
Method.—Scrape a little raw beef finely and put a little piece in the middle of some tiny squares of thin bread, cover with other squares and press the edges tightly together with a knife so that the meat may not show.
Meat Custard.
Ingredients.—One large egg, half a gill of beef tea.
Method.—Beat the egg and beef tea together and steam in a buttered teacup for twenty minutes.
A Cup of Arrowroot.
Ingredients.—Half a pint of milk, one ounce of arrowroot, one ounce of castor-sugar.
Method.—Mix the arrowroot smoothly with a little cold milk; boil the rest of the milk and stir in the arrowroot; stir and boil well, taking care it does not burn.
Cornflour Soufflée.
Ingredients.—Half a pint of milk, one egg, one ounce of cornflour, one ounce and a half of castor sugar, one bay leaf.
Method.—Mix the cornflour smoothly with a little cold milk; boil the rest with the bay leaf and sugar; stir in the cornflour and let it thicken in the milk; separate the white and yolk of the egg and beat in the yolk when the cornflour has cooled a little; beat the white very stiffly and stir it in very lightly. Pour into a buttered pie-dish, and bake in a good oven until well thrown up and a good light brown colour.
Custard Shape.
Ingredients.—Half a pint of milk, two eggs, quarter of an ounce of gelatine, two ounces of castor sugar, vanilla.
Method.—Beat up the eggs with the sugar and milk; pour into a jug, stand in a saucepan of boiling water and stir with the handle of a wooden spoon until it thickens; dissolve the gelatine in it, flavoured with vanilla, pour into a wetted mould and turn out when set.
Sponge Cake Pudding.
Ingredients.—Two stale sponge cakes, three eggs, half a pint of milk, two ounces of castor sugar, a piece of thin lemon rind.
Method.—Boil the milk with the rind and the sugar; let it cool a little and add the eggs well beaten; cut the sponge cakes in pieces and lay them in a buttered tin, pour the custard over and bake gently until set. Turn out and set cold.
Ingredients.—Two large lemons, one quart of water, a quarter of a pound of castor sugar.
Method.—Pare the lemons very thinly, so that the rind is yellow both sides, put the rind with the sugar and the lemon-juice in a jug, pour boiling water on it, and let it stand till cold, strain and use.
Barley Water.
Ingredients.—Two ounces of pearl barley, one quart of water, a small piece of lemon rind, one ounce and a half of castor sugar.
Method.—Blanch the barley; put it in a saucepan with the lemon-rind and sugar, and simmer gently one hour. Strain and use.
Toast and Water.

"Next to a Good Disposition"
Continued from last week ~
"I would rather have a good frying pan to live with in camp than anything else except a good disposition, a good stove, and a good water container. The iron frying pan does not burn so easily as thin steel, and food stays hot longer, for often in camp meals, one thing must wait for another to cook. Provide a tight-fitting granite cover, for a tin one will rust, and take flat covers for two stew pans. Cover carry best standing on edge in the box. Pot roasts and New England boiled dinners are just as possible as steaks, pork chops, and corn-mealed fish if you provide deep kettles with tight covers. I have made even dumplings.
Shallow light gray granite pie tins make inexpensive but satisfactory plates. Gray does not rub marks upon being packed together as white will do. Be sure, however, to get big white enamel cups without handles. They are often to be purchased among hospital supplies as well as sports supplies.
Carry knives, forks, spoons, the all-important can-opener, butcher knife, short pancake turner or spatula, and scissors in a heavy muslin or dug bag, made wide enough to lay, not shove, the articles in. The loose end is wrapped around the whole, making rattling impossible, and forming a protective pad. A bag of this kind eliminates the bugbear of camp life – hunting this or that in a 'don't-know-where-I-put-it-place.' Silver for table use does not need the care that steel does, and is more homelike. Get an aluminum salt shaker, as this does not corrode; a size to carry at least a cupful of salt is best, the same shaker being used for table and cooking. A paper circle laid inside shaker cover will prevent salt from spilling en route. For butter, get a glass jar which will hold a pound, because some small-town grocers will not divide a pound. A jar wider and shorter than a Mason jar and with as little shoulder as possible, is best. An oilcloth-lined pocket is essential for carrying a damp dishrag.
You will need to watch to find square-shaped tin containers for coffee, sugar, rice, etc. A tin cracker box makes a good-fitting bread and cake box for the average cabinet box."
If Mother figures out a way to haul along an ice-cream freezer, this 1911 recipe (from the Boston Cooking School's magazine American Cookery) would be a big hit with the whole family after a long drive on hot days. Except, perhaps, for Father, who has to turn the crank.
1 quart of rich cream
1 cup of sugar
1 pint of strawberry juice
1 ½ cups of sugar
Juice of ½ a lemon
Mix the cream and cup of sugar and turn the crank of the freezer until the mixture is partly frozen; add the fruit juice, mixed with the cup and a half of sugar, and finish freezing. Let stand an hour or two before serving, to ripen.*

Meals a la Carte
Vintage photo from Pinterest
From the Woman's Home Companion, July 1921 (available on Google Books):
Are you planning a camping trip this summer? It is well worthwhile to collect the utensils for it with care. Even to those not intending "camp en route," a thoughtfully planned camp home is a "safety first" precaution, and for those who stay at home, the following suggestions put into realization as permanent summer fixtures on the car make possible daily suppers in the park, or country trips on an hour's notice.

The running-board kitchen is an untold convenience. By curving the front end slightly the box can extend some distance upon the front fender and give added length. Five-eight-inch lumber is the proper material for it, solidly joined at the corners, as the continuous jar of travel tests weak places. Iron right angles, screwed inside as joints, should reinforce the corners. Two strips of thin iron across the bottom (inside), extending up and screwed to the front and back sides will keep the box from spreading. These iron pieces are very important, as through the holes in their centers the box is fastened onto the running board. The bottom of the box should be made of galvanized tin nailed closely from underneath to the under rim. The advantage of this is that, as it is thin, it gives greater depth than wood and also makes a smooth, sanitary surface to keep clean.
Paint inside of box and underside of cover light gray. Place this box on right or parking side of the car. Paint outside of box and cover the same color as your car.
Next week -- some information on equipment, but in the meantime, here is Bettina's idea of a cool-weather motor picnic, from A Thousand Ways To Please A Husband.

Warm Veal Loaf Cold Potato Salad
Fresh Brown Bread Butter
Spanish Buns Bananas
Hot Coffee
Veal Loaf
2 lbs lean veal
1/2 lb salt pork
6 large crackers
2 T lemon juice
4 t onion salt
1 T salt
1/2 t pepper
4 T cream
Put two crackers in the meat grinder, add bits of meat and pork and the rest of the crackers. The crackers first and last prevent the pork and meat from sticking to the grinder. Add other ingredients in order named. Pack in a well-buttered bread-pan. Smooth evenly on top, brush with white of an egg, and bake one hour in a moderate oven. Baste frequently. The meat may be cooked in a fireless cooker between two stones. It is perfectly satisfactory cooked this way, and requires no basting.
Boston Brown Bread
1 c rye or graham flour
1 c cornmeal
1 c white flour
1 t salt
1 1/2 t soda
3/4 c molasses
1/4 c sugar
1 1/2 c sour milk or 1 1/4 c sweet milk or water
2/3 c raisins
Mix and sift dry ingredients, add molasses and liquid. Fill well-buttered moulds two-thirds full, butter the top of mould, and steam three and one-half hours. Remove from moulds and place in an oven to dry ten minutes before serving. If sweet milk is used, 1 T vinegar to the 1 1/4 c will sour the milk.
Baking powder cans, melon moulds, lard pails or any attractively shaped tin cans may be used as a mould.

Often some of the funniest, most interesting and quirky moments at sports events go almost unnoticed, rarely featured in reports or blog posts.
So here are five ridiculous things you may not have already seen or heard about from the last few days in the sporting world.
Did you see anything particularly noteworthy that passed off without mention? Feel free to bring it to our attention in the comments section below...
1) YES, IT'S MY WIFE'S PASSPORT! - Savage almost misses World Cup flight after passport cock-up
Robbie Savage (Twitter)
Yes, it's really true: BBC pundit Robbie Savage nearly missed his flight to Brazil for the World Cup after trying to use his wife's passport.
The Welshman initially thought the lady at the check-in desk was just starstruck, but it was actually because he had accidentally brought his wife Sarah Savage's passport instead of his own.
The pair have been married since 2002 and Sarah has long blonde hair like her husband. He tweeted after the debacle: "I'm going to have to tell my wife to get her haircut!" What a mess - the situation, we mean.
2nd time it's happened I'm going to have to tell my wife to get her haircut

Wow thank you @britishairways great staff for rushing me through as I turned up with my wife's passport just got mine in nick of time — Robbie Savage (@RobbieSavage8) June 10, 2014

2) WOW, OKAY, THIS COULD BE AWKWARD - Italy stars struck by the intimacy of the toilet situation in Brazil
Peculiar toilet set-ups are clearly de rigueur at major international sporting events in 2014.
Italy's Andrea Ranocchia obviously wasn't following the major stories at Sochi particularly closely.
[A loo with a view? New toilet gaffe in Sochi]
He's puzzled by the twin toilets he's encountered in Italy's training ground.
Ma perché??? Per non sentirsi mai soli?

(a2) if the verifying indicates incorrect latching, then repeating steps (a) and (a1) until data bits have been verified as correctly latched.
The present invention relates to data program column latch architectures for non-volatile floating-gate type memories, and also relates to verifying the writing of data from the column latches into floating-gate memory cells of such memories.
Memory storage capacities of embedded EEPROM memories used in smart card applications are being made ever larger to meet increasing memory requirements. One issue that arises with large memories is the ability to control the programming quality of the memories' bit cells, typically of the floating-gate type in EEPROMs. In existing systems, programming of an EEPROM has two phases. In a first 'load' phase, the data to be programmed are loaded from a RAM memory through a data input bus into column latch circuits of the EEPROM. Typically, the minimum data size that can be loaded is one byte and the maximum is a row or page of 64 or 128 bytes. In a second 'write' phase, the data stored in the column latches are transferred into addressed bit cells in the EEPROM memory array. The column latch circuits only serve to store the data while the programming of the bit cells is taking place. In order to verify the programming quality, the data is then read from the EEPROM's programmed bit cells and compared with the original data already stored in the RAM. If the data read out from the cells differs from the original data, programming of erroneous bytes is repeated until the correct data are verified.
A typical existing program column latch circuit has a low voltage portion and a high voltage portion. The low voltage portion is a simple latch (cross-coupled inverters) to which input data are written through a first transmission gate during the load phase of the programming operation. The high voltage portion is a level shifter supplied with the high voltage needed for programming. During the write phase of the programming operation, data stored in the low voltage latch are transferred into the high voltage portion through a second transmission gate that separates the low and high voltage portions. The level shifter pulls a '1' data value up to the programming voltage, while a '0' data value remains at 0V. The resulting voltage level in the level shifter controls a third transmission gate that drives one column of the memory cell array via a bit line. The voltage at the terminal opposite from the bit line is at the programming voltage for writing and at 0V for erasing. For verifying, the memory cells are read out through their normal read paths via sense amplifiers attached to the bit lines at the end opposite from the program column latches.
The present invention provides a column latch circuit for non-volatile memories that allows verification of the correct loading of the data to be programmed, without requiring any extra RAM memory. In particular, the new column latch now has a capability, not only to be accessed in a load mode to store data, but also to be accessed in a read-back mode to serve as a readable memory location for a verify comparisons.
In order to provide this read accessibility to the program column latches, the low voltage portion of the latch circuit is modified to allow bidirectional data flow into and out of the latch circuit. In particular, the first transmission gate on the former load path is now replaced with a pair of tri-state buffers that are controlled by respective load and read signals. The resulting circuit has both a load mode in which data is transferred into the latch through the load buffer, and a read-back mode in which latched data is read out through the read buffer.
The high voltage portion of the program column latch circuit is unchanged. Programming may be implemented in several phases: an initial load phase, a first (optional) read-back phase to verify proper latching of the data, a write phase in which the latched data are transferred via the high voltage portion of the column latch circuitry to the addressed bit cells of the memory array, and another read-back phase accompanies by a reading from the memory cells of the newly programmed data to verify proper programming of the data.
With reference to
The low voltage portion 13 comprises a latch 17 (cross-coupled inverters 18 and 19) that is accessed through a pair of opposite-facing tri-state buffers 21 and 23 that are controlled by respective load and read signals. Input data are written to the latch 17 through the load buffer 21 during a load phase. The stored contents of the latch 17 may be read out through the read buffer 23 during a read-back phase. In order to save area, there is only one input/output bus line 25 for both loading and reading the column latch. To avoid conflict, the load and read-back control signals may not both be high at the same time.
Additionally, outside the program column latch circuit 11, the non-volatile memory may include column latch control circuitry that, as one of its functions, selects a mode of all of the program column latches 11 in the memory, via an extra bit labeled readram. For example, when readram is low the load mode is selected, but when readram is high the read-back mode is selected; Pairs of opposite-facing tri-state buffers 31 and 33 on each of the data paths leading to external data pins of the memory may receive normal and inverted versions of readram. By "opposite-facing" we mean that the data flow through the tri-state buffers (input to output) are in opposite directions. That is, buffer 31 has its output leading into the column latch 11, while buffer 33 has its output coupled to the ramout terminal.
The high voltage portion 15 comprises a level shifter 37 that is supplied with the high voltage Vm needed for programming. Any of the level shifting circuits used for program column latches may be used here for level shifter 37. For example, the level shifter 37 may comprise an inverter of p-channel and n-channel transistors 41 and 42, whose common gate inputs are coupled to the line 39 and whose common drain outputs drive a p-channel pull-up transistor 43 whose source is coupled to the program voltage Vm and whose drain is also tied to the line 39. During a write phase, data stored in the low voltage latch 17 are transferred through a transmission gate 45 that separates the low and high voltage portions 13 and 15 onto a line 39 in the high voltage portion 15. The level shifter 37 pulls a '1' data value received onto line 39 up to the programming voltage Vm, while a received '0' data value remains at 0V. The resulting voltage level on the line 39 controls a second transmission gate 47 that drives one column of the memory cell array via a bit line 49. The voltage supply terminal 50 opposite from the bit line is at the programming voltage Vm for writing and at 0V for erasing.
With reference to
Reading of the bit cells of the array 63 is implemented in a read mode (read control signal rdn=high) by sense amplifier array 69 in association with read control circuitry 70 and the read Y decoder 66. A byte of data is output from associated data terminals (Dout<15> to Dout<0>) of the memory 61.
Programming of the bit cells of the array 63 involves a combination of a load mode (load control signal ldn=high), followed by a latch verify or read-back mode (control signal readram=high) that is a characteristic feature of the present invention, and finally a write mode (write control signal wtn=high). This series of programming steps is implemented by a program column latch array 73 made up of a plurality of column latches like that seen in
The memory 61, shown in
If the read back indicates that one or more data bits were incorrectly latched, the load phase will be repeated and followed by another read back for load verification, until the correct data are latched or an error flag is generated by the system (e.g., in the case of damaged circuitry indicated by several unsuccessful attempts). If the read back verifies that the loaded data bits are correct, the program operation proceeds to the write phase, which may be identical to the prior art. Data are transferred from the low voltage portion into the high voltage portion as discussed above with reference to
With reference to
Because the load phase was verified prior to writing, this read verify step will encounter fewer write errors. Because the column latch circuits contain the data to be compared with the memory cell read-out for write verification, a separate RAM for this purpose is not required.

Is there a vikas vote? Healthier babies make not a whimper on campaign pitch
are squabbling over credit for a shiny four-lane highway that has reduced the 95 km between Ranchi and Hazaribagh town to 90 minutes. But both ignore the health revolution in this constituency — despite the one desperate to showcase its grandiose national schemes and the other looking for some visible success to pin on its local MP.
Voters too appear ignorant. Jayant Sinha's wife Punita, who is reaching out to women voters, says: "Women I speak to are worried about contaminated water. But health is not something they are talking about." Geeta Biswas, a JMM zilla parishad head in Hazaribagh, is asked about changes in healthcare. Yes, she replies, Vitamin A tablets are easily available. The nurse shows up more often, and she is now on mobile phone in case of an emergency. Why aren't candidates talking about this? "This is not political talk, it's personal".
At a campaign stop, Jayant Sinha approaches a family and sits on its low-string cot, nestling a baby on either thigh. Both children are stunted, visibly malnourished. "What are your problems?" he asks the father. "Give those children good education, the rest will follow," comes the answer. The health of his children is not something their father thinks is of concern to his candidate.
"This is because no parent blames the government for health, while they always think that education is a state responsibility," guesses chief secretary Sharma, when told of this incident. UNICEF's Zachariah argues that "roads and schools are visible, so people notice. But if your child is dying slowly from malnutrition, you only blame yourself". Dr Hedayetullah adds: "Public has low expectations of government health. What little change is there, public is happy".
Hazaribagh's battle against infant mortality is a distant echo in the bustle of electoral politics. Voters don't ask, politicians don't tell. The Indian Express asked Dr Hedayetullah when was the last time a politician visited his spruced up health centre. He said he'd prefer not to answer that question.

THE man behind a campaign to give a street its historic name back has welcomed councillors starting the consultation needed for the change.
Councillors on Blackburn with Darwen borough planning and highways committee agreed to start the process of changing the signs on 'Eugene Van As Drive' back to 'Star Drive'.
They rubber stamped a recommendation by officers in reponse to a 72 signature petition gathered by Stephen Smith of nearby Moorland Avenue.
He said local people were baffled by the change to 'Eugene Van As Drive' in 2003 replacing the original name honouring one of the town's most famous paper mills.
The private road stretches down to the site of the former Star Paper Mill in Feniscowles, which was taken over by South African firm Sappi Fine Papers in 1990.
In 2003, the firm renamed the road after its chief executive, who headed the firm for 12 years until 2003 and whose wife Gillian was brought up in Blackburn.
Sappi closed the site in 2008.
Mr Smith said: "I am delighted. Hopefully when the consultation backs the change we will get 'Star Drive' back."

Plan to change Blackburn road name a step closer
No offense to Mr As or anything but he only presided over the company closure, whereas Kymmene Aktibolag ran the thing at a profit. That doesn't mean we should ignore the fact Star Paper had been on that site a lot longer, since 1875, so there is a good precedent for naming the road after the mill.
To be honest, am surprised that this was even allowed to happen in the first place, right at a time when a lot of Blackburn's landmark mills were being demolished.
