Martha Wainwright among new Shank Hall show announcements
Martha Wainwright, little sister to Rufus and daughter of Loudon Wainwright III and late singer-songwriter Kate McGarrigle, is among a slew of artists scheduled to perform at Shank Hall, the venue has announced. Wainwright released her third studio album last October, "Come Home to Mama;" it was recorded at Sean Lennon's home studio and the first single "Proserpina" was written by McGarrigle.
Yo La Tengo swings from calm to full-on rocking
Yo La Tengo's show at Turner Hall on Saturday showed that in music, there are different types of Zen.
The Hoboken, N.J.-based indie rock darling began a nine-song opening acoustic set with a meditative variation of "Ohm," the first track off "Fade," its lovely and relaxed 13th full-length studio album released in January. Georgia Hubley gently tapped the drums with brushes, her husband Ira Kaplan glided the song toward a subdued Middle Eastern-influenced guitar jam, and the couple along with primary bassist James McNew sang sweetly, quietly, together. »Read Full Article

Milwaukee Rep's 'Clybourne Park' an electrifying production
Because "Clybourne Park" is so good and because it explores issues that aren't going away, it's easy to agree with Mark Clements' prediction - made in his director's notes for the new Milwaukee Repertory Theater production - that Bruce Norris' play is built to last.
It's much harder to imagine watching the inevitable revival, 10 or 20 years from now, without hearkening back to the electrifying performance I saw Friday night, in which Clements' all-star cast gave "Clybourne" the treatment it deserves. »Read Full Article(1)

CHESTERFIELD, Mo. - The NHL lockout has created opportunity of a different kind: By allowing a Cy Young Award winner to tap into his hockey passion. St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Chris Carpenter was one of 12 men on the ice during a 90-minute players-led workout Tuesday at Hardee's Iceplex. Some St. Louis Blues players, in response to a lockout that is in its 52nd day, have met at the St. Louis County facility since September to keep their skills fresh. "Oh, you know what? He can play," Blues defenseman Alex Pietrangelo said of Carpenter. "We don't mind having him out there. He's such a good guy. It's fun having him out there." Carpenter has history on the ice. He was an all-state defenseman at Trinity High School in Manchester, N.H., and he received interest from the Boston Bruins and Chicago Blackhawks before choosing to pursue baseball. The three-time All-Star never left hockey behind, though. He was spotted during games at Scottrade Center last season, and he skated during a...

Many veterans of the Persian Gulf War in the early 1990s suffer from mysterious symptoms — from fatigue to joint pain to indigestion to memory problems.
Now researchers at the University of Utah are taking a look at whether mindfulness therapy can help those veterans deal with one of their insidious burdens: disturbed sleep.
By Kristen Moulton, via Anthony Hardie
Yoshio Nakamura of the Utah Center for Exploring Mind-Body Interactions and study associates David Lipschitz and Yuri Kida are looking for 72 veterans of the Persian Gulf War — Operation Desert Storm — for a short research study.
"Sleep disturbance hasn't been prominently recognized," says Nakamura. But a doctor who treats Gulf War vets in Salt Lake City suggested they take a look.
"He started to tell us, 'All my Gulf War patients, they can't sleep.'"
So Nakamura got a grant from the Department of Defense, which, like the Department of Veterans Affairs, is puzzled by the inexplicable symptoms many veterans experience if they were in the Gulf in 1990 and 1991 with coalition forces, pushing Iraqi forces out of Kuwait.
His research is to determine whether mind-body bridging can help improve the sleep of those veterans.
Medical researchers in the 1970s began looking into medical uses for eastern religion techniques such as meditation and visual imagery. The idea is that physical and mental health are affected by emotional, social, spiritual and behavioral aspects of one's life.
"It's a therapy based on learning to be more aware of what's going on in yourself," says Nakamura.
Participants will go to the Veterans Affairs George E. Wahlen Medical Center in Salt Lake City for a two-hour meeting once a week, for three consecutive weeks.

What is Belling?
Every year in September the deer community in the National Park De Hoge Veluwe is on its head. It's mating season and the deer (males) have their source flock, called belling, know that they are willing to fight for a harem. That belling is hearing the whole of September in the Park very well. A powerful sound that no other animal in the world shows. It sits somewhere between the roar of a lion and the roar of a bull.
Belling, the human has always been fascinated with numerous nature lovers and hunters who try to imitate to elicit a deer. This is not easy, but when using the right materials and finding the perfect voice, you did decide success.
Belling German eastern neighbors.
Following on from our German neighbors, where each year competitions are held in the belling, organizes the National Park De Hoge Veluwe for the first time this competition in the Netherlands. We also call upon all nature lovers and hunters to give the Dutch Championship belling. Themselves

Under the Affordable Care Act, the federal government will begin reducing the amount of Disproportionate Share Payments (DSH) in 2014. In crafting ACA, the idea was that the uncompensated care costs covered by DSH would be absorbed by the expansion of Medicaid, but that was when it was assumed all states would expand the program.
While the U.S. Supreme Court upheld most of ACA, it struck down the federal government's ability to withhold any Medicaid funds from states that did not expand the program, making it easier for states to opt out of the expansion.

I am older than many here and so can remember quite easily the time "before eyeshadow primers". Shadows would always crease on me, no matter the brand (with the exception of a cream shadow in a doe foot tube from Estee Lauder - I think it was called Automatic Eyeshadow - it was sort of like some of long wearing cream shadows that are available nowadays). This is going back to the 80's or 90's. Then, UDPP came into my life and the lives of many, truly revolutionizing eye makeup. I NEVER skip primer now (unless I'm using something like a Paint Pot or Colour Tattoo shadow). So, I LOVE primers and this one is no exception.
I got a good sized sample of Behind the Scenes with the Pro2 palette I recently purchased. It is excellent. Eyeshadow applies beautifully over it and it keeps my shadows fresh looking, crease-free and bright all day and into the evening. This also seems to impart a bit of brightness and "colour correction", though these aren't claims the product makes. I don't find any odd or chemical smell and find it a thoroughly pleasant product to use and one that does just what it says. I would most certainly repurchase except that Lorac is no longer available in Canada.

I am the type of girl who would much rather splurge on eye shadows rather than an eye primer so for two years I have been using my beloved ELF Eyelid Primer. I got a sample of this with my LORAC Pro Palette and LORAC Pro Palette 2. I am still not done using my first. The sample size lasts forever, but I am not fond of the smell. It smells like chemicals, that's something I never had to deal with when I was using my fragrance free ELF Eyelid Primer. It keeps the eye shadow in place for a good 7 hrs. I don't keep my makeup on longer than that. The texture is quite creamy and sticky which is a change from the usual dry primers. I do have to apply a base shadow first to make sure my other eye shadows can blend and sit well. It does cover up redness just a little bit.
Overall, it's a good primer. But I probably won't buy the full size once my sample is over, I was hoping it would make the eye shadows more vibrant but I was disappointed.

I really love this primer. I have been reaching for this primer more than the UD primer potion and my NARS smudge proof so this might be my HG e/s primer. It makes the application very smooth and makes the blending so easy. It makes my eyeshadow last all day and night it doesn't make my eyelids oily, it doesn't crease on me and really makes the color pigmentation very vibrant. Also it is not really dry like the UD, but it works perfectly on my very oily skin & lids. the application is very creamy until it dries. This is a great primer.

I had a sample of this that came with the LORAC Pro Palette and used it to completion. I wound-up getting a full size after because it was about the time my Urban Decay eye primer ran out and I was desperate for something that I knew didn't leave my eyelids a red, dry, flaking mess--and I know now I should have went to Sephora and got samples of other primers first.
The product itself is a salmon-colored liquid-gel kind of substance. It spreads fairly easily and dries quickly on the eyelids, saving you some time in the morning. I have dry eyelids and creasing is not typically an issue for me, but I wear eye primer for a few reasons: 1. to make the colors more vivid, 2. to lengthen the time of wear, and 3. to avoid creasing (which would occur in wearing some indie eyeshadows such as Shiro, Hello Waffle, and a few other brands).
It is on that note that I'll be judging LORAC as following:
1. Vivid colors: I don't feel that it actually accomplishes this. Having even a base color down makes the colors stand out more than this primer actually does. I don't think this has any effect on the actual colors and how they appear. Halfway through the day, I notice the colors actually became muddled and even if I am wearing garnet colors or anything else, they become shades of taupe. What's the point of wearing eyeshadow if the color isn't even going to be that color?
2. Lengthen time of wear: to me, this is a massive failure for the above reason. I will, however, note that nothing smudged when I wore this.
3. Avoid creasing: this is a success, though I think part of that is due to the formulas of the eyeshadows. Indies tended to crease on me, but mainstream formulas (LORAC, Laura Mercier, Urban Decay, etc.) did not when worn with this primer.
In short, I don't think I'd recommend this eye primer--especially when there are so many other options on the table.
- Mild color correcting in salmon color (if you happen to be white)
- Does not exacerbate dryness on eyelids
- Non-drying
- Spreads easily
- Did not smudge or colors did not migrate during course of day
- Muddles eyeshadow colors over day
- Does not help keep the colors long-lasting
- May crease depending on the formula

I think this is a good primer and I find it does extend the wear of my eyeshadow and prevent smudging, but not as long as the Nars one. I appreciate that it has a little colour and the consistency is nice and light. I like the squeeze tube packaging and if the Nars one was ever discontinued I'd repurchase this one.

The major reason I like this is because my eyelids aren't very oily. They can get a bit greasy sometimes and affected by humidity, but most other popular primers, such as Urban Decay or Too Faced tend to actually dry out my lids. I don't think Lorac primer makes my shadows last quite as long as the other two mentioned, but for me it's much more comfortable and less irritating while still doing the job. The formulation is quite creamy so it takes a bit longer to set. If you apply your shadows while it's still very moist and tacky they won't blend properly and will not be stable through the day, so just dab on with fingers sparingly then wait about 2 minutes for it to settle in.
This doesn't improve vibrance but you can use a cream base for that. I don't find this plays well with NYX jumbo pencil in Milk but it works great with MAC paint pots. Lorac primer will take mid-end shadows from about 6 hours without primer to 8 or 9 using this, effectively getting me through most of the day. I find it works best with Lorac shadows that tend to be richly pigmented but quite soft, but I guess that's what it was formulated for.
I love this as an undereye primer though. It really helps concealer and powder to not settle into fine lines, and noticeably improves the coverage and wear time. So if you're not digging this on your eyelids, try under eye!
Ultimately I think if you have oily eyelids or not sensitive and can handle UD Primer Potion or TF Shadow insurance, try them as they perform better with most qualities of eyeshadow and extend weartime even longer, but if not Lorac is the next best thing. It's still better than ELF, NYX and Revlon in my opinion.

Awful, awful, awful. My shadows applied patchy and when I got home less than six hours later, I noticed they had completely disappeared except for that telltale gritty crease line. Good thing I got this free with my palette, because I'd be very unhappy had I spent money on it.

This is a nice, thin, creamy, smooth eye primer, but it does not work for oily or slightly oily lids. It tends to melt my eye shadows into a mess only after a few hours. I think it would be nice if you are aware that you have normal or dryer lids, but not for anyone with any type of oil.

Respond to Review of Sabores do Sebouh
by kandimba
Review: Although non-vegetarian, this restaurant is possibly the best place to eat vegetarian food in Porto. In fact, the restaurant has become a meeting place for many vegetarians and the veg menu has been increasing by the week. The food is excellent and the prices are low. You can even eat outside. If you like hummus, fatouche, killis ichi, tabouleh, stuffed aubergine, etc., this is the place for you! Also be sure to ask for the semolina cake in the end (vegan). The owner, Simon, is constantly making up new dishes, most of them vegetarian. Ask for what's being served at the moment, not all of the food is on the menu. Some meat-eaters go there for the shawarma too, but most clients are vegetarian.

Someone just sent me an email mentioning this project:
and it looks damn good as an inspiration. I don't like the way the model object has to include Curator::Model... including is a form of inheritance, and it is certainly aware of something about the persistence framework. I want the domain model to be completely free of anything like that. a Vanilla Ruby Object.
Very interesting concept, I really like it.
In the final part you say something about enhancing the model with things like dirty options. It couldn't be done with some decorator-like object?
I'd prefer to see a version with no inheritance at all, but I haven't worked out exactly what that'd look like.
Andrewhr - Thanks for the comments. First, let me say I have done more than my fair share of metaprogramming at the moment, so I'd need to step away for a while and clear my head before I could talk rationally about a roper implementation. But my intent in talking about that is that the line in the repository:
repository_for :person
gives the repo a hook to do any metaprogramming that necessary. Whether we need that or not is debatable... but I think from the repository's point of view, it would be nice to be able to annotate the stored object so that if you called PersonStore.save(person) on an unmodified person, it essentially translated to a no-op... or if you called save on a RemotePersonStore that communicated ala ActiveResource, it could just send the fields that have been modified via the [patch] verb. For that, we'd need a way to decorate each field with a dirty flag. The repository could do that by saying something like "model_class.extend(ActiveRepository::DirtyFlags)". From the developers point of view, they are dealing with a Vanilla Ruby Object unless they poke at the deep meta-juju dragon.
steveklabnik - there is no inheritance in the domain model. Are you concerned about the inheritance in the store? In that case, the code could look like (still technically inheritance):
class PersonStore
include ActiveRepository::Base
repository_for :person
but in my notes I mention that someone could essentially degenerate to ActiveRecord by doing:
class Person
include ActiveRepository::Base
repository_for :self
that makes me feel kinda dirty, but in the end, maybe thats a feature.
Yes, in the store. That's still inheritance. I mean using delegation instead. I've found it vastly superior in almost all cases, especially testability.
steveklabnik -
One way to do that would be to make the Repositories instances with runtime configuration, like this:
person_store = ActiveRepository::Base.new {
... configuration goes here
no inheritance, but I don't think it improves the testability that much... although you could store the block as a proc and have a completely different Repository you drop in for testing:
person_store = FactoryGirl::InMemoryRepository.new &person_store_config
and now person_store works as an in-memory tester backed by factories so you can still test things like finders.
Transactions are another big part of ActiveRecord. I've always found transactions to feel forced, since they should be independent of models:
In the example below, why not Case.transaction? or any Model.transaction? they all do the same thing.
Person.transaction do
# do something with person
# do something with his case
I guess this would be better...
ActiveRepository.transaction do
# do something with person
# do something with his case
My two cents: this will be much more awesome if ActiveRecord is composed from it. Further, if there is a linear difficulty curve conceptual scaling curve for building up an AR model and then scaling it down by decoupling the repository and any business-y logic, then you've double-plus won.
One thing we have tried to do with Curator is remove the requirement for attr_accessor. A domain model with all properties exposing setters removes any notion of encapsulation. It would be awesome if this could support that as well.
I don't think exposing properties necessarily breaks encapsulation - if you could access the properties directly it would, but attr_accessor technically synthesizes methods. (Methods that can be protected by authorization code, and could even lead to some other solution for the bulk update problem whipping us up like frenzied bees lately).
As a plain Ruby object, if you don't want a setter for it, then you could just use attr_reader. For instance, its always bothered me about the acts_as_state_machine gem that the 'state' of the object can be updated directly, bypassing all of the event triggers that happens when you call the transition methods. By using attr_reader for that field, this encapsulation could be preserved. If you really have a field that is just internal to the behavior, we could certainly add something like attr_internal or attr_private.
therealadam - deriving ActiveRecord from composition would be cool, yes. If that would really work, and if maintainers of AR are interested, then I humbly submit all of these ideas for their vetting. consider the whole thing MIT licensed. CarlHuda probably knows the internals of AR well enough by now to make this a fun afternoon project.
OK, it's clear what this method costs - a slight boost in complexity to controllers and possibly some SERIOUSLY shady metaprogramming to make associations work.
What does that cost BUY? Is it just the minty-fresh feeling one gets from OO purity? Not trying to be a jerk, just trying to figure out what exactly this is supposed to be doing for me.
It doesn't, for example, offer the "swap out persistence layers" option that's the mainstay of "ABSTRACT ALL THE THINGS" arguments; unless you're redefining PersonStore, references to it are littered throughout the controller code.
@ashirazi - a quick note: the transaction methods are only equivalent if all your models use the same database connection. Admittedly, that's a fairly extreme corner case but it does happen...
Okay, so I promised you thoughts on this a week ago; havn't had time to write anything down.
First, I do like the fact that this pulls persistence responsibility away from the individual record and into a repository. The field mapper stuff looks alright as well.
My biggest complaint is that this is still class based. I understand why it's class based, and it's probably an easier transition away from ActiveRecord thinking. But from my perspective, it looks like it's replacing one class-based solution with another.
I'm not an expert on DDD, but from what I've been reading, one of the ideas of a repository is that it's usable as an Enumerable. Just drop in anywhere an array is expected, and off to the races. In an instance based system, and with a little care in the clients, this means you could drop any enumerable into the client code, and it would work fine. That's trivial in an instance (object) oriented implementation. It's much more annoying in a class oriented implementation. I've mentioned before that I'm trying to avoid Capitols in my code these days. One of the obvious wins is testability -- you can test the clients by feeding them arrays, rather than worrying about a persisting repository. Bypass the whole mock/stub argument altogether. The other advantage is reduced coupling. Yes, I really need to actually write a blog post about this.
My ad-hoc implementations of a repository have thus far been a repository object takes an AR scope object in it's initializer -- or an array of other data. The advantage of that is that diffferent controllers can scope things down to just the sorts of record that it's actually interested in. I havn't done much with putting things back in the repository, however. I'm working with more, smaller objects. Yes, I'm also risking object-soup, but I havn't had that bite me just yet.
@al2o3cr Both the Active Record pattern and the Repository pattern can support flexible application architecture, in which all dependencies point INWARD to the domain model, with no dependencies pointing OUT from it. The Single Responsibility Principle is fulfilled when a class has only ONE reason to change. For your domain model classes to honour this principle, they should require NO change in response to ANY change in the persistence mechanism(s). As soon as you can call Account.save on your Account business object, it's doing more than one thing (modelling the behaviour of an account, and managing account persistence).
If you buy what I've said so far, then to honour SRP with the active_record library, your domain model can't include classes that extend ActiveRecord::Base. Instead, your ActiveRecord::Base subclasses should be Data Access Object implementations, and you have to develop an adaptor strategy for composing DAOs into business objects and back. At which point, you realize that a) you're implementing the Repository pattern, and b) you're fighting the framework. For some excellent coverage of dependencies in application architecture, see: http://confreaks.net/videos/759-rubymidwest2011-keynote-architecture-the-lost-years
EDIT: I'd like to amend. Entities and Services in the data model can't extend ActiveRecord::Base; I'm not so sure about Value Objects.
There's http://engineering.nulogy.com/posts/tag/edr that describes https://github.com/nulogy/edr.
But I'm not convinced that this is anything more than a stop-gap.
Why not Data Mapper? http://martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/dataMapper.html
Hey guys,
I have started experimenting with a similar idea (with a slightly different approach) here: https://github.com/fredwu/datamappify And I'd love to get some feedback from you all! :)
Basically, we want to separate the behaviour and persistence - without losing the convenience ActiveRecord (which we heavily rely on) provides to us.
Any thoughts?
Hi guys,
I have made some more progress on Datamappify. It no longer tries to do clever things with association, and it now maps data from any ActiveRecord classes!
Any feedback is welcomed! :)
Thanks for sharing this @bokmann. I really like the design that you've sketched out.
I stumbled across this today while researching repository implementations in Ruby land. I went looking for DataMapper 2 as suggested by @elight, but I later lids covered that it's been renamed to Ruby Object Mapper or ROM https://github.com/rom-rb/rom.
I also came across a gem named active_repostory, which looks close to this design, but not quite the same.
I was hoping that I wouldn't need to build my own repository framework to address problems on my current project. The design in this gist is going to be used for inspiration.

4) Fit the round pastry sheets into 2 greased individual flan tins, without stretching the sheets.
5) Use a fork to prick the base.
6) Place a piece of crumpled kitchen foil at the center and place in the centre of a hot oven to bake for 6-8 minutes, until lightly browned and baked.
7) Plunge all but one tomato into the boiling water for a minute. Drain water, peel, deseed and chop coarsely.
8) Place the tomato flesh and grated cheese over the base of each flan.
9) In a bowl, beat in egg and milk by seasoning with salt and pepper.
10) Pour into the pie, filling each one to the brim.

It's spring break, or summer vacation, and the grandkids are visiting. Or you're looking for a DVD for a birthday present. You want three things: a) something worthwhile (not junk); b) something they'll enjoy (not just high-minded or educational fare); and, crucially, c) something they haven't already seen to death.
The staples of contemporary family entertainment are ubiquitous and familiar. There's lots of animation, above all Pixar, Disney and DreamWorks animation, and assorted other stuff (Ice Age, Despicable Me).
Then there's live-action fantasy: Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Narnia, and of course Harry Potter and the current trend (of which I'm generally not a fan) of dark, revisionistic fairy tales (from Alice in Wonderland to the recent Oz the Great and Powerful).
Kids today are lucky if they know the likes of The Wizard of Oz, The Song of Bernadette, Singin' in the Rain, The Sound of Music, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Babe and The Iron Giant.
Lots of good stuff there (though older movies may require adult mediation to help kids adjust to the slower rhythms of the Golden Age). But what's really off the beaten path for kids today? What have most kids not only not seen, but not even heard of?
Of the 10 films highlighted below (with other recommendations thrown in), I can almost promise that at least nine will be brand-new to all but the most film-savvy or fortunate kids — and all are worthwhile for grown-ups, too. (For more on all these films, see the full reviews.)

Great mattress
Got this for my RV, great mattress just like like sleeping on my high end memory foam mattress at home. Get it, you won't be disappointed.Read More
Great product.
arrived in 2 days. I left it out without using it for 72 hours. There was no bad smell. Very comfortable. I would recommend it. The only issue is that it was not 8 inches. It was almost 7.5 inches thick instead of 8. Great product for the price.Read More
The best value and quality we could hope for.
Do not be put off bu the rolled up packaging in which the mattress arrives. Let it air out and your will be thrilled with the value and quality.Read More
Comfy Twin
This is a really comfortable bed. I bought it for my 6 year old daughter. I ended up taking naps on it too. When you lay down, it makes you never want to get up. That may be a good thing or a bad thing depending on the time of the day:)Read More
Wonderfully Comfortable Mattresses
I bought two of these mattresses, one for my day bed and one for the trundle bed underneath that pops up. They are both incredibly comfortable and though some reviews indicated a difference when two were ordered, these are the same.Read More
As good as I hoped... but can vary
I ordered 2 of these mattresses at the same time for my teenage daughters. I was concerned about the disclaimer regarding the smell and the mattresses needing to air out. However, this was not a problem at all. Reading other reviews, there seems to be great variation in how comfortable people found these to be. One of the mattresses is plush. When you lay on it, you sink just a bit. Just enough to feel like the mattress is hugging you in the right spots. It's not bouncy - just plush. My other mattress turned out out to be EXTREMELY firm. I say it's like sleeping on a soft brick. It has almost no give when you lay on it. To me, it's not uncomfortable - the daughter whose bed this ended up on doesn't love it. Point is, these apparently have a wide range of firmness between just right and too firm. I don't know if that's consistent among foam mattresses in general. Both of my mattresses obviously have a great quality foam. If you want a good but inexpensive memory foam mattress, I can only say that this one has worked out quite well for me.Read More

I never wanna leave my daybed now
People warned me not to get a comfortable mattress for my daybed because guests won't want to leave, but I spend my first few hours of each morning working from my laptop on my sofa, which I'd replaced with a daybed, so a comfortable mattress was a must for me. I got one of these for the actual daybed and another for a trundle. My morning laptop work is now sheer pleasure for my lower back.Read More
Just as I expected
I am getting as second bed as my daughters are saying this is very comfortableRead More
Questions & Answers
It can be packed in the RV, but it is meant to remain on the RV''s bed.
What is the difference between on RV Mattress and a regular one?
A recreational vehicle mattress is typically lighter than a regular mattress.
I am thinking to purchase this memory form mattress for my 3 years old daughter. Does this 8 inch mattress need a spring box?
No but you will have to have enough slats on your bed to support the mattress. A piece of plywood good also accomplish this.

Glasgow Warriors v Ospreys - RaboDirect PRO12 match preview
Last Updated: 19/04/13 6:54pm
Third-placed Glasgow Warriors host fourth-placed Ospreys at Scotstoun Stadium on Friday as the race for the RaboDirect PRO12 play-offs hots up.
The game is sure to prove emotional for John Barclay, who will make his 150th appearance for the hosts.
The Scotland international, who has been with the club for nine years, will be leaving at the end of the season and could be playing in his final home game.
The Warriors back three is made up of Stuart Hogg at full-back, Sean Maitland on the right wing and Sean Lamont, who replaces DTH van der Merwe on the left.
Alex Dunbar comes in for Mark Bennett at outside centre and Graeme Morrison starts at inside centre.
Duncan Weir replaces Ruaridh Jackson at fly-half and Niko Matawalu comes in for Henry Pyrgos at scrum half.
In the forwards Ryan Grant starts at loose head in place of Gordon Reid, Pat MacArthur continues at hooker and Moray Low once again starts at tight head.
Captain Al Kellock combines with Tim Swinson in the second row and in the back row Rob Harley starts the game at blind-side, with Ryan Wilson dropping to the bench. Josh Strauss moves from blind-side to number eight, with Barclay once again starting at open-side.
The Warriors have Dougie Hall, Ofa Fainga'anuku, Ed Kalman, Tom Ryder, Ryan Wilson, Henry Pyrgos, Peter Horne and Van der Merwe in reserve.
For the Ospreys, there are two changes to the side which beat Treviso 28-3 last time to climb back into the play-off places.
Tom Isaacs starts in the centres ahead of Ashley Beck with Jonathan Spratt swapping to the No 12 jersey, while Duncan Jones is in for Ryan Bevington at prop.
Marc Thomas, Sam Lewis, Ross Jones come in on the bench.
Glasgow Warriors: 15 Stuart Hogg, 14 Sean Maitland, 13 Alex Dunbar, 12 Graeme Morrison, 11 Sean Lamont, 10 Duncan Weir, 9 Niko Matawalu, 8 Josh Strauss, 7 John Barclay, 6 Rob Harley, 5 Al Kellock (c), 4 Tim Swinson, 3 Moray Low, 2 Pat MacArthur, 1 Ryan Grant.
Replacements: 16 Dougie Hall, 17 Ofa Fainga'anuku, 18 Ed Kalman, 19 Tom Ryder, 20 Ryan Wilson, 21 Henry Pyrgos, 22 Peter Horne, 23 DTH van der Merwe.
Ospreys: 15 Richard Fussell, 14 Tom Habberfield, 13 Tom Isaacs, 12 Jonathan Spratt, 11 Ben John, 10 Dan Biggar, 9 Kahn Fotuali'i, 8 Joe Bearman, 7 Justin Tipuric, 6 James King, 5 Ian Evans, 4 Alun Wyn Jones (c), 3 Adam Jones, 2 Richard Hibbard, 1 Duncan Jones.
Replacements: 16 Scott Baldwin, 17 Marc Thomas, 18 Cai Griffiths, 19 Jonathan Thomas, 20 Sam Lewis, 21 Rhys Webb, 22 Matthew Morgan, 23 Ross Jones.
What they said...
Glasgow Warriors coach Gregor Townsend
"It's a huge game for the club, even more so after our defeat to the Scarlets last week. We expect a reaction from our players tomorrow night. There have been a lot of memorable moments at Scotstoun this season and this has the potential to be another great game. We're really respectful of our opponents, they take a combative approach to every game, they challenge at the breakdown, have an excellent set piece and are ranked as the best defensive team in the competition."
Ospreys coach Steve Tandy
"There are two tough games left, away to Glasgow and Leinster, and yes that's a tough run-in, but that's what we're about as Ospreys. If we are going to successfully defend our title then we've got to front up like proper champions, starting this Friday night in Scotland. We don't want to stumble over the line relying on others to slip up, if we are going into the play-offs we want to do it on merit while building some real momentum for the knock-out games."

Write to fight hunger
By Julie McNaughton on June 9, 2009
© Leader-Telegram
In sub-Saharan Africa, where food prices have doubled since 2006, the world's poorest people are barely surviving on famine foods: roots, grass and mud cakes. The global food crisis has increased the number of hungry people in the world from one in seven to one in six.
The ONE Campaign and Bread of the World's 2009 Offering of Letters aims to improve United States foreign aid. Each year, Bread for the World plans a nationwide Offering of Letters to improve government policy for the benefit of hungry people.
Only one-half of 1 percent of our federal budget goes for the development aid portion of foreign aid. Bread for the World aims to increase our development aid to 1 percent. This increase in development aid will help overcome the global food crisis and give more long-lasting aid to hungry people in poor countries.
Until the global food crisis hit two years ago, development aid was reducing the number of hungry people. Even now, with development aid in Africa and other places, children are going to school, new wells are irrigating farmland and health clinics are distributing life-saving medicines.
We must increase this effective development aid. An estimated 600 people in this area have written letters for the 2009 Offering for Letters. Please join us by writing to our members of Congress on behalf of hungry people.

Originally written on Red's Army | Last updated 2/5/13
Jason Terry hasn't been shy about mentioning how much he loves the new spread offense the Celtics are running. You can say that's a shot at Rondo for how he had been playing or at Doc for the offense he'd installed… but the fact remains, Terry is thriving. And in this wild week of "We're better off without Rondo" vs. "We're not better off without him," Terry has been one of the poster boys for the anti-Rondo argument. But why is Jason Terry on fire lately? Why is he shooting 14 of 22, including 5-11 from 3, over the past 3 games? The theory is he's getting better touches in better spots. So let's take a look at every one of those 22 shots and see. (Note: I'm not counting the Miami game as they had prepared for the game with Rondo, and got late word they'd be without him. Besides, Terry shot 4-12 in that game including 1-7 from 3. This is an analysis of the "new" offense, and Terry's 3 game burst.) Game 1: January 30. Celtics 99 – Kings 81. Terry's line:

Bara Brith
|All purpose flour
|4 Cup (64 tbs)
|Granulated sugar
|1 Teaspoon
|Cake compressed yeast
|1 1⁄2 Tablespoon (1 1/2 Teaspoons Active Dry Yeast)
|Warm water
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|1 Teaspoon
|1 Teaspoon
|6 Tablespoon
|Brown sugar
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
|Mixed raisins
|2 2⁄3 Cup (42.67 tbs)
Prepare the yeast batter: mix 1 cup flour, the granulated sugar, compressed or dry yeast and warm water together in a large bowl.
Cover and set aside until frothy, about 20 minutes in a warm place, longer in a cool one.
Mix the remaining flour with the salt and allspice, and then rub in the fat until the mixtureresembles breadcrumbs.
Stir in the brown sugar and dried fruits.
Add the flour mixture and egg to the yeast batter and mix well to form a soft dough, adding extra flour if the dough is too sticky to handle or more water if too dry.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes by hand or 2-3 minutes using a food mixer and dough hook.
Shape the dough into a ball and place in an oiled plastic bag.
Leave to rise until doubled in size, about 2 hours at room temperature and less in a warm place.
Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, punch down and knead for 2 minutes.
Divide into 2 pieces and shape to fit two well greased small 4 1/2 x 2 1/2 x 4 inch loaf pans.
Cover and let rise until the dough stands 1 inch above the top of the pans.
Bake in the center of a moderate oven (350°F) for about 50 minutes.
Remove from the pans and place on a cake rack.
Brush the tops of the hot loaves with a wet brush dipped in honey or with a sugar glaze.

Shallotte's roadside is a nightmare, even on Halloween, specifically when you try to get to Home Depot, Belk and BB&T in Shallotte. The only way in is one entrance off N.C. 130. I was turning off N.C. 130 trying to go to work at the garden section of Home Depot awhile ago and nearly got run over. The truck behind me almost ran me over when I had to slow down while approaching the entrance. The entrance has terrible ruts and holes in it. You are taking your life into your own hands going through it.
Regarding Debora Mawji's letter in the Oct. 2 edition, it seems the writer needs to take time to educate herself. U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan can't walk the walk or talk the talk.
To the editor:
I recently purchased flooring from AAA Flooring on U.S. 17 in Calabash. When it was installed, it wasn't the same as the sample the company had displayed at the store. A representative from the company came to my home and assured me it would be replaced at no charge; however, the company later said it would only replace the flooring, but I would have to pay to have the other removed and the new installation.
To the editor:
Regarding Debora Mawji's letter in last week's edition, the writer forgot to check U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan's voting record. It is great that Hagan was able to help her husband.
To the editor:
As oceanfront property owners since 1997, my husband and I are concerned about the possibility of oceanfront swimming pools being permitted on our beloved island. Not only would the addition of pools adversely impact the environment, but also their presence would be devastating to the aesthetics of Sunset Beach. Privacy and overall atmosphere of Sunset Beach would forever be altered — for the worse.
To the editor:
In the Bible, it reads: "…to give praise to whom praise is due." In January, I was given six months to live. Lower Cape Fear Hospice came in and began to take care of me. They started to give me medications to make me more comfortable, but instead of getting worse, I began to get better. There is no group of people that I have ever encountered who are more dedicated, professional and compassionate than these.
Being of German decent and born into a German-American family, I was indeed amazed at the European atmosphere at the Calabash Lions' Oktoberfest last week. The Harbour Towne Fest Band put on a real Bavarian show. I enjoyed the sing-a-longs of German songs, dancing the polka and other fun entertainment. The tasty German-style food topped it off!

My Membox Jackpot Box came on last week! Yay! If you recall the Jackpot Box was $32 and was filled with a surprise selection of Korean skincare, makeup, and beauty.
Each random box shipped would include either a huge selection or a smaller selection this is why they called it a Jackpot box as you might just "win" something massive or you'd come away with a very nice but not as large selection of goodies.
I got mine a few days ago! Here's what was inside!

Guy Bobs For Lemons While His Neighbors Get It On
"The key is to corner them, but this is a circle." So goes this "Lemon Party" edition of Ryan's "Thin Wall Challenge," in which he must bob for 10 lemons before his neighbors finish doin' the nasty, or else force-feed himself a spoonful of wasabi as punishment. I'm not sure why this is so fascinating, but I do know that THE LEMON WATER DID NOTHING!

He warned us of the road to Highway 1, full of big rocks due to rains this summer. he said it takes him one hour to go where it used to take him 40 minutes.
New paved road will bypass Coco's whenever it is completed. Going to hard on his business, kind of like when the interstates bypassed all the small towns here.
Not sure why he had the glove on. Don't think he is a Michael Jackson fan???

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 2/5/13
David Wright is the Mets top fantasy target this spring, but will Ike Davis close the gap between the two? It's that time of year again. Football is over and every Major League team is loading their trucks and heading to Arizona or Florida for Spring Training, which means it's time to start preparing for fantasy baseball! Whether you will be taking part in a standard league, auction league, dynasty league, or even one of our own MMO Fantasy Baseball leagues, it is vital to have as much information you can on every player, from the perennial All-Stars to the up and coming prospects. Though it is not advised to draft with your heart in fantasy sports, I think we can all agree it's extra satisfying when we have a player or two from our favorite team that makes a big impact on our fantasy team. With that in mind, I thought I'd take a look at the Mets and some of their own players who may have an impact on the 2013 fantasy season. Here are my top five rankings: 1. David Wright, 3B – No s...

This Korean hack-'n'-slasher has eschewed the typical high-fantasy soundtrack for one that's part piano sonatas and part pedal-to-the-metal rock. It completely kicks major tushie, in case I mince words from here on out. You're going to hear these tracks and have a hard time meshing it in your head with "MMO" -- that is, unless you've played Rusty Hearts itself.
It took some digging to figure out who did this soundtrack. All I could find was this web page, which has defeated my rusty (har) grasp of Korean. It does look like the studio's handled several regional titles, and if its work on Rusty Hearts is any representation, then I probably need to check out the rest of its library.
Let's crank up the volume to 11, folks, and jam to some righteous melodies!
1. Alonewolf
In case you thought I was being facetious with the whole "Rusty Hearts is different MMO music," I'm giving you Alonewolf right off the back. From the first strains of the guitar to the point where the song kicks in at 0:13, it's a high-octane ride to the finish. Would this be right at home in a racing game? Sure. What about a fighter title? Definitely. But when an MMO has a track like this, I absolutely need to know why the game wants to jack up my adrenaline this hard.
I don't care what game you're playing; Alonewolf should be the de facto standard music for any boss fight.
2. Gate of Chaos
Pulling back on the throttle a bit, we come to Gate of Chaos. It's what I would call a "prowling" song -- a track that mixes atmosphere and a rhythmic beat to give you the feeling of going forward, forward, ever forward. It helps that it's pretty darn catchy, too.
(Another great "prowling" video game track is Halo 2's Peril, to give you an example with which to compare this one.)
3. Memento Caligini
We're back in hardcore territory with Memento Caligini, a song with a wicked fast beat. If Guitar Hero was still a thing that we all cared about, this would definitely be one of the more difficult tracks.
It's a song that would be right at home in some of the great platformers or shmups of yesteryear. While toe tapping and all that, it's not something I could listen to for extended periods of time or if my character was doing something mundane, like cleaning out his ear. It's a song that has a time and a place for it to be effective.
I got a laugh from one astonished YouTube commenter, who wrote, "Not joking -- why have I been playing this game on mute this whole time?"
4. Restaurant
I think we've arrived at my favorite song of the bunch. It's not as single-minded as Memento Caligini, but shifts between a few different motifs as it builds to a breathless finish. I like just about everything in this track, from the groovy beginning to how it starts adding layer upon layer over time.
There's a section around 0:40 when it definitely has that Eastern anime sound. I almost expected a female J-Pop (K-Pop?) singer to start crooning, but fortunately the song shifted out of that mode as quickly as it entered it.
Bravo, Rusty Hearts. Bravo.
5. The Chasing in the Darkness
Right from the get-go we have something that's been largely absent in the OST up to this point: choral chants. It's not overdone, fortunately, but is present to punctuate the guitar riffs.
Apart from the unfortunate song name, it's a decent, if not spectacular, romp through a wanna-be thrash metal guitarist's audition tape.
6. Wings
I trust you've seen and heard Lindsey Stirling's infectious hip hop violin work by now. If not, this and this will get you started on the path to illumination. From the first time I saw one of her performances, I was hooked due to her geeky energy and the use of the violin to play something other than Fiddler on the Roof funeral dirges.
It's this kind of peppy violin music that runs straight through the heart of Wings. If your head isn't bopping even a little bit during this track, then we've found a perfect way to identify the android invaders that live among us.
I hope this gives you a good taste of Rusty Hearts' spectacular OST, and trust me when I say that it's just the beginning of a great musical journey. What are your favorite songs?
MMOs aren't just about looks; they also have great soundtracks that often go unnoticed. Heroes don't stand for that! Every Tuesday, Jukebox Heroes will check out a game's soundtrack and feature the best tunes to share and discuss. Your DJ for the hour is Justin Olivetti, and the request line is open!

Totally agree. This thread is disturbing, I'm seriously shocked at some of the attitudes people in here have. Having a mother isn't the be all and end all, lots of children have mothers and they have actually made their lives worse and are rubbish parents. Being a good parent and bringing up a child to be loved and well looked after has nothing to do with bring male or female, you get bad parents of both genders.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Republic of Argentina squared off with a group of U.S. hedge funds Wednesday in a court case that has the potential to unravel deals the South American country made to get out from under a $100 billion pile of bad national debt.
The high-stakes legal fight, which revolves around Argentina's refusal to pay anything to a small group of holdout creditors owed about $1.3 billion, appeared to be reaching a brink Wednesday, as lawyers representing banks, bondholders, and the republic stood before the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
The intractable nature of the dispute was made clear from the start, when Argentina's American lawyer, Jonathan Blackman, sheepishly issued what amounted to a challenge to the court's authority: He said that if the judges issued a ruling that didn't go Argentina's way, the country would simply refuse to obey.
"We are representing a government, and governments will not be told to do things that fundamentally violate their principles," Blackman said. He said that in this case, Argentina was no more likely to comply with an order from a U.S. court than the U.S. was likely to abide by an order issued by a court in Iran.
The pronouncement visibly irritated one of the judges on the panel, Reena Raggi, who questioned the lawyer sharply about why the court should excuse the country from a debt it is legally obligated to pay.
The dispute stems from Argentina's record $100 billion default on its national debt in 2001. Most of the country's creditors ultimately agreed to new bonds paying far less than what they were originally owed. A few holdouts resisted, including companies controlled by New York billionaire hedge fund investor Paul Singer.
Those holdouts have won a $1.3 billion court judgment against Argentina in New York, but they have been labeled "vultures" by Argentina's president, Cristina Fernandez, who has vowed to pay them nothing unless they accept the same deal as the other bondholders.
Singer's hedge funds, meanwhile, have gone after Argentina's assets around the globe, even temporarily persuading the nation of Ghana to seize a ship in the Argentinian navy.
The two sides have been in court over the issue since 2004, but on Wednesday their argument before the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals was being watched closely by bankers because of its potential impact on unrelated debt disputes.
In a creative effort to force Argentina to pay up, a federal judge last year ordered the U.S. bank processing the country's debt payments to begin diverting a portion of that money away from the bondholders who previously settled and into the hands of Singer and the other holdouts.
