The recording covers Lalgudi's live lecture demonstration in December 1997 held under the auspices of Sri Krishna Gana Sabha, Chennai. The simple yet powerful style of conveying his thoughts and beliefs on the various aspects of kalpitha and manodharma sangeetham makes very interesting listening.
Relevant comparisons
Lalgudi compares raga vinyasa to a portrait painted by an artist. The raga presentation could be elaborate or at times could be like a caricature bringing out the outline of the raga within a few minutes. Lalgudi proceeds to state that closely aligned ragas such as Arabhi and Devagandhari, Nilambari and Kedaram which sport similar swaras have to be clearly understood and presented. Arabhi is compared to the galloping of a horse and Devagandhari to the swaying walk of an elephant.
The demonstration at this stage has Lalgudi G.J.R. Krishnan playing the violin and S.P. Ramh vocalising the different facets of these melodies. Very rightly the seasoned vidwan says that all ragas have a kalapramana of their own. Some ragas simply do not offer scope for fast-paced sancharas or brighas. These realities have to be learnt through experience and by listening to the music of past masters.
Lalgudi also emphasises that while there is no external rhythm maintained during a raga alapana, the rhythm is in place like the undercurrent of a river. Tanam, the speaker says, is raga vinyasa in madhyama kala. He also informs that the veena is the best suited instrument for tanam rendition as the tala strings add to the charm.
About the pallavi, Lalgudi says that since the limited sahitya (lyric) has to be repeatedly sung, the same should convey the full meaning, and also be musical at the same time. Pallavis which are originally manodharma sangeetham later on become a part of kalpitha sangeetham when taught and practised. Many performers are known to have composed pallavis on the spot.
Being a master in the art of kalpanaswaras, Lalgudi explains the norms which are to be followed. The sahitya point taken for solfa passage rendition should be pleasing and not convey anything inauspicious. Care should also be taken to the ending swara before the sahitya is rendered during kalpanaswara singing. For example Lalgudi says, if one were to sing swaras for the pallavi for the kriti 'Janani Ninnuvina' (Ritigowla-Subbaraya Sastri), one should avoid using the swara pattern of Pa, Pa before arriving at 'Janani' as this would sound to have a different meaning which could be inferred as the mother of bad deeds. These valid points will definitely serve as an eye opener to many.
Could sanchari be a better word for niraval, wonders the maestro. On the whole, there is never a dull moment.

West Bank of Kaukauna LU winner
The Appleton Post-Crescent, January 31, 2005.
APPLETON — West Bank of Kaukauna Concealing Weapons of Mass Deductions captured its fifth consecutive Lawrence University Midwest Trivia Contest title over the weekend in the 40th edition of the annual marathon of minutia. It was The Bank's seventh team title in the past nine contests.
The Bank racked up 1,237 points out of a possible 2,040 in the 50-hour, 356-question contest that ended Sunday night at midnight.
Skull Squadron was the off-campus runner-up for the second year in a row with 1,132 points, while Iowans, Only Whack as Needed, Sir finished third with 1,062 points.
Bucky's Banastitudinal Buccaneers repeated as the on-campus team champion with 1,115 points, while Nerds with Hooterphobia was second with 1,043 and Ali Babar and The Forty Thieves placed third with 1,015.
Bucky's received a personalized letter of congratulations from deRosset for their winning effort, as well as a burned, urine-soaked junk piano.
Sixty-five off-campus teams and nine on-campus teams participated in this year's contest. No team was able to answer the contest's final "Super Garruda" question: On Dec. 11, 2004, Mushtariy Madrahimova from Uzbekistan visited the Capitol building in Madison and signed the guest book. What were her comments?
While no team knew she had written "It is the hugest building I've ever been," one team came incredibly close.
The team "Gurgle Durr" had a member from Madison who returned home before the end of the contest.
When the question was asked, they called him and he dashed to the Capitol and found an unlocked door. The alloted time to answer the question — 20 minutes — expired moments before he was able to reach the information desk with the guest book. The man was on a cell phone with the trivia masters as he was running through the rotunda.

Product description
The availability of genomic blueprints for hundreds of species has led to a transformation in biology, encouraging the proliferation of adaptive arguments for the evolution of genomic features, yet often sacrificing simpler, more compelling explanations. This textbook explains why the details matter and presents an explanatory framework for how the architectural diversity of eukarotic genomes and genes came to arise. Presented in non-technical fashion, it is compatible for use in an advanced Genetics course and as a professional reference.

William Erps: Consider this as reason for season
How many special interests and topics this Christmas will you see touted as worthy of our attention and deemed necessary for our focus? Cooking the perfect turkey, getting the most bang-for-your-buck in electronics, avoiding insanity at overcrowded stores, tolerating your in-laws and more will be offered up for your consideration.
When the word "Christmas" rolls off one's lips, few thoughts would rival the image of Santa, and he as the quintessential Giver of Gifts. We relish the idea of tearing through packages to the delight of discovering that new, bright, shiny something lavished on us by those who care, or from a stranger who trespassed through our chimney. Gifts, then, hold a place of tremendous significance as to the meaning of Christmas.
When we consider both giving and receiving gifts, we often do so on the ground of the worthiness of the one in view. The "Naughty or Nice" list is the criterion used by Mr. Claus to distribute his product and by parents to keep their kids in line for at least a month. Worth in the individual as the basis for gift giving, by definition, negates what is given from being a gift. If someone did something to deserve it, to earn it, it is a wage.
Few of us move very far from this concept when we consider Jesus Christ as the greatest gift given. As with our notions of being good to leverage both our parents and St. Nick to bestow on us their "gifts," we think God loves us because we are lovely. In this view, God sent his son into the world to serve as an example and teacher, helping generally good people to be better. To describe the theological current of his day, Richard Niebuhr once wrote "A God without wrath brought men without sin into a kingdom without judgment through the ministrations of a Christ without a cross." As was the current of his day, our waters are 10 feet high and rising.
Distinguished professor and author C.S. Lewis noted that men believe in democracy because they hold to the inherent goodness and wisdom of man to govern himself and others. He said he was a proponent of democracy for the opposite reason: "The danger of defending democracy on those grounds is that they're not true. ... I find that they're not true without looking further than myself. I don't deserve a share in governing a hen-roost. Much less a nation ... Mankind is so fallen that no man can be trusted with unchecked power over his fellows."
If what Lewis describes is true of us, then Jesus Christ came not for the good people but for the bad. He is the archetype of all gifts in that God gave us not something but someone, and not just to those who did not earn it but to those who contemptuously scoffed at the Giver. As the old spiritual goes, "I wonder as I wander out under the sky, how Jesus the Savior did come for to die, for poor on'ry people like you and like I; I wonder as I wander out under the sky."
What then is the reason for the season? Sin is.

Vintage: 2010
2010 saw extremely high quality viticulture in many parts of the world, with an exceptionally long and hot summer providing huge benefits for wineries across many countries, especially in the southern hemisphere. The northern hemisphere and Europe saw something of a cooler summer and flowering period, but this was by no means as disastrous as it could have been. France, especially, had a fantastic year in 2010, with the world renowned Burgundy region proclaiming that their white wines of this year are ones to look out for, and despite yields being relatively small across much of the country, the quality was exceptionally high. Spain, too, received some cooler weather, but Rioja and the rest of central Spain are hailing 2010 as a very good year indeed, again as a result of smaller, finer yields. California also received similar climatic conditions, but again, wineries are highly positive about the overall effect this had on their produce, as the slightly challenging conditions resulted in smaller yields of much elegance and distinction. 2010 was really Australia's year, and in South Australia and across the Mornington Peninsula, Chardonnay vines produced good yields with a lower sugar level than in previous years. As such, the majority of South Australian white wines from 2010 are superb, and packed full of character. Shiraz also had a great year, and most Australian wineries have been proclaiming 2010 one of the great vintages. Both the Argentinian and Chilean wine industries benefited from some ideal climatic conditions this year, and are reportedly ecstatically pleased with the fact that their 2010 wines ended up with lower alcohol levels, and were beautifully balanced wines packed full of flavor.
Region: California
Since the 18th century, California has been a hugely important and influential wine region, acting as a trailblazer for other New World wine regions and utilizing an important blend of traditional and contemporary practices, methods and techniques relating to their wine production. Split into four key areas – the North Coast, the Central Coast, the South Coast and the Central Valley – Californian wineries make the most of their ideal climate and rich variety of terrains in order to produce a fascinating range of wines made with a long list of different fine grape varietals. Today, the state has almost half a million acres under vine, and is one of the world's largest wine exporters, with Californian wines being drunk and enjoyed all across the globe.
Country: United States
Whilst there are several strains of native grape varietals in the United States, it was the introduction of the European species which prompted the country to begin producing wines on a large scale. Over the past few centuries, experimentation and cross-breeding has produced great successes in regards to the quality and suitability of the fruit grown in states such as California, Oregon, Washington and New York, and the past few decades have seen New World wines from the United States reach much higher standards. Arguably the finest United States wines have always come out of California, where the climate and terrroir is most suitable for fine wine production. The masterful blending of classic grape varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, amongst others including Syrah and Chardonnay, have had world beating results in recent years, prompting many to suggest that there has never been a better time for buying and drinking United States wines.
Appellation: Santa Barbara
The beautiful region of Santa Barbara in California is one of the United States' most important wine regions, with a history which stretches back over a hundred years, and which currently has a high reputation for excellence and wines of character and distinction. Many people claim that the county of Santa Barbara is highly similar to that of Provence in France, with its gently sloping hillsides and lush green spaces. The similarity extends to the wines which are produced there, which generally involve big, flavorful and characterful red wines made from classic grape varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon. The dozens of wineries in Santa Barbara benefit enormously from the hot sunshine and cooling Pacific winds, meaning that many different varietals can flourish there and produce a wide array of exceedingly high quality wines.

Comment Re:But one major alternative still exists (Score 1) 65 65
Wireless charging is ineffective? Do you actually use it? I've used it for months and it charges my phone quite nicely and conveniently.
You could argue that some energy is lost to the ether, but that really doesn't affect me. Sure, It's not as fast as a quality cable charger, but it's still faster than the knock-off chargers that most people use. In any event it's fast enough to get me charged up for a while.
Plugging\unplugging cables doesn't sound like a terrible chore, but when you go wireless, you get very used to it. For example, I have wireless charging installed\hacked into my car. I get into my car and slap my phone onto my magnetic wireless charging mount (which is a Mountek magnetic mount with a Nexus Qi charger attached. The phone is Nexus 5). I don't have to adjust the mount to grab the phone (no grips, just magnets!) and I don't have to plug anything in. Within half a second, the phone is charging and mounted, and it charges at a fast enough rate that even with screen on and GPS active, the phone charge level is ticking upwards. When I leave my car, I just grab the phone. No fussing with cables or the mount. Awesome. Fast. Convenient. I'm living in the future.
I also have a Nexus Qi charger on my bedside table. With this, I never have to retrieve a cable that's fallen to the ground, and never have to drag a cable across the bed over a sleeping partner. It charges my phone all night, I wake up with a full charge, and it's easy, so I don't give a damn if some energy is lost. It's very effective for me.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Vice President Joe Biden will again take the Obama campaign to a university campus in Wisconsin.
Biden will appear at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Friday. The Obama campaign says doors at the Cartwright Center open at 11:30 a.m. The vice president's wife, Jill Biden, will introduce her husband.
Biden was last in Wisconsin on Sept. 13 when he held a rally on the UW-Eau Claire campus. Last week, President Obama campaigned at the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus, a rally which attracted about 30,000 people.

Divorcing parents who use the "insidious features" of social media as a weapon will put at risk their custody arrangements and settlements and could even face prison, legal experts warn.
In a federal court divorce case, Judge Warwick Neville has ordered that a marshal of the court investigate and monitor a father's Facebook posts for possible infringements of the Family Law Act.
The Act prohibits the publication of details of court proceedings – an offence punishable by imprisonment for up to one year.
There are almost 50,000 divorces in Australia each year and about half of them involve a custody battle for children.
Judge Neville said social media was an "unfortunate and increasing feature of modern litigation", particularly in family law.
"It is a veritable Aladdin's cave which parties (and lawyers) readily and regularly explore for (invariably incriminating) evidence to be used in litigation," he wrote. "As a weapon, it has particularly insidious features."
"They inhabit the cyber-sphere and operate as `Facebook rangers' who `hit and run' with their petty and malicious commentary, and seem to gloat (or be encouraged) by the online audience that waits to join the ghoulish, jeering crowd in the nether-world of cyber-space."
In 2011, 48.3 per cent of the 48,935 divorces granted involved a custody dispute over children.
Social media expert Dr Melissa de Zwart said people were still learning how to use Facebook carefully.
"I think we might be careful about direct posts but not other things like commenting on posts of our friends that potentially aren't as private," she said.
"I think as we read more about people doing things and getting into trouble, I think we are becoming more careful and more judicious."
Dr de Zwart said a study had found people usually thought of about six people when posting instead of all their Facebook friends.
"That's why you will disclose things and forget that you're actually friends with your ex's cousin," she said.
Judge Neville's judgment, delivered recently in the Federal Circuit Court, said that in this particular case, the father's family had posted comments that denigrated the court and the litigious process, as well as detailing and commenting critically on information regarding the proceedings.
The posts "bluntly" claimed the magistrate, the court and experts had been duped by the mother and that she regularly abused her children.
Tindall Gask Bentley partner and family-law specialist Jane Miller said social media was a common part of divorces.
"We see clients that either make poor decisions on what they publish on Facebook or those who routinely stalk their partner's Facebook page," she said.
Ms Miller said most users of the Family Court system did not appreciate the section of the Family Law Act that prohibits them from publishing details of the court proceedings.
She said the classic example of what could potentially breach the Family Law Act was people showing affidavits from the court proceedings to their friends and family.
Norman Waterhouse associate Emma Dodson said she warned clients about posting on Facebook when starting divorce proceedings.
"We had cases before we started this policy where clients have written things on their Facebook which weren't favourable to their case," she said.
Relationships Australia senior counsellor Margie von Doussa said she would advise divorcing couples to "unfriend" their former partners.
"For the short term, we need to absolutely not be connected on social media in any way," she said.
Ms von Doussa said people did not want to read about their ex's good day or the intimate details of their post-break-up life.
"People can't suddenly go from being in a relationship to being great mates," she said.

Tavani Adds Parker to Coaching Staff
March 5, 2014
EASTON, Pa. - McNeil Parker, who has spent the past four seasons with the Northwestern University football program, has joined the Lafayette coaching staff as a defensive assistant.
"McNeil's background as a student-athlete at Kenyon and then as a coach at Northwestern makes him a valued addition to our program," Tavani said. "He came highly recommended by Bob Heffner (the superbacks coach at Northwestern and former Lafayette defensive coordinator) and Pat Fitzgerald (Northwestern head coach). We know that he shares our championship vision and understands what it takes to be a successful student-athlete at institutions that place a priority on academics."
Parker, who replaces Tim Nish, will coach the Leopard cornerbacks in 2014 under the tutelage of defensive backs coach Doug McFadden and first-year defensive coordinator Art Link.
Parker joined the Northwestern staff in the summer of 2010, and was named the Defensive Quality Control coach in February 2012. Parker spent the first two seasons with Northwestern as a recruiting assistant before being elevated to the graduate assistant position. As a recruiting assistant, Parker designed and maintained the football team's social media sites, managed the recruiting database and helped organize recruiting trips and visits.
A native of Lake Bluff Ill., Parker attended Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio. During his time at Kenyon he was a four-year letterwinner in football and tennis, playing quarterback, wide receiver and defensive back for the Lords.
Parker earned his bachelor's degree from Kenyon in 2010, completed his master's degree in Sports Administration at Northwestern in 2012 and is working toward a second master's degree in liberal studies at the Big 10 school in Evanston, Ill.
Lafayette Athletics, as a partner in the mission of the College, provides an incredibly effective learning experience for student-athletes through competitive NCAA Division I athletics. Lafayette sponsors 23 varsity sports with more than 600 student-athletes.Mission Statement | Leopard Tradition | Staff Directory | Feedback

Guntersville, Ala. – No matter how many commits Auburn has already landed in the 2015 recruiting cycle, our news partners at al.com say Gus Malzahn doesn't expect the pace to slow any time soon.
Normally, the end of May is when the Tigers' momentum is just getting started.
Now, with 13 commits already in the fold and the nation's No. 3 recruiting class according to the 247Sports Composite rankings, Auburn's coaching staff is getting ready for an annual summer push that has a little bit more backing than normal.
"Things are going extremely well," Malzahn said. "We've got a lot of momentum, coming off the season we had, and then you couple that with the staff we have, and you couple that with Auburn, the future's very bright, and I think players can see that. We've got a big summer ahead."

Keeping Your Health Insurance
By Jacques Chambers
(click here to download pdf)
Once diagnosed with HCV, it is virtually impossible to purchase individual health insurance since carriers typically review the applicant's current health and medical history. HVC almost always will trigger a refusal to offer insurance. For that reason, it becomes especially important for people with HCV to hold on to the coverage they have and not lose it.
For a person with individual coverage, the answer seems simple, just keep paying the premiums. That's not always easy given the rate with which health insurance premiums are rising. If rates to your individual policy should be rising to the level that you can no longer afford, consider the following options:
Most people, however, obtain their health insurance through their employer so their health insurance is dependent upon their continued employment, or it used to be. Thanks to a couple of federal laws, people who lose their health insurance through their employer will almost always have some rights to continue coverage in one form or another as long as they make the necessary premium payments and move promptly.
First, there is COBRA, a federal law that allows people to stay on the employer's plan after they terminate employment or have a reduction in hours that causes them to lose eligibility for health insurance.
COBRA covers employees of almost all employers who provide health insurance to their employees except:
NOTE: Several states have passed laws that provide COBRA-like continuation coverage to employer groups of less than 20 employees. They include: Arkansas, California Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. However, they don't all match the federal law completely, so check your own state's law if you work for a small employer.
COBRA allows the employee and/or the dependents to remain on the employer's plan provided they pay the entire cost of the insurance plus a 2% administrative fee.
The length of time you can stay on COBRA coverage varies:
Those are the maximum lengths that you can stay on COBRA, not counting any state laws which might extend that. Some events, however, will cause you to lose COBRA coverage before that maximum time is reached:
COBRA is a federal law and it has very specific requirements about how employers administer the plan from how to tell employees about the options and how to accept the premiums. However, because many employers, especially smaller ones do not always understand the requirements, there are some things you should watch for if your employer based-coverage is coming to an end and COBRA is available:
In 1996, another federal law was passed that created more opportunities to stay insured, The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, usually called HIPAA.
HIPAA covers a multitude of health insurance issues, from confidentiality of medical records to guaranteeing continuity of coverage when changing jobs or leaving an employer.
HIPAA also provides access to health insurance when COBRA expires or when group coverage is lost, if not eligible for COBRA. HIPAA provides guaranteed access to an individual health insurance policy with relatively broad benefits to persons who:
The federal law allows each state to determine how they will offer these "HIPAA Plans." Some states use existing, or have created special high risk health plans that people qualifying for HIPAA coverage may join. Other states require all insurers offering individual health insurance coverage in that state to offer two plans to anyone during the 63 day eligibility period. Your state department of insurance can tell you how it operates in your state.
The law specifies that the plan match the carriers' most popular plans based on premium volume, so the coverage you are eligible to purchase is fairly broad. While the law does not put a cap on rates, the rates charged by the carriers and high risk plans tend to be higher than you would pay if you were in good health, but they are not the extreme levels that some of the old health conversion plans charged.
Once your group coverage ends whether it is the end of COBRA or coverage simply ending without eligibility for COBRA, the insurance company or administrator is required to send you what is called a "Certificate of Creditable Coverage" which is usually simply a letter. This letter will confirm the starting and stopping dates of your coverage with them. Note that if you were with that carrier for less than 18 months, you may need to get a similar letter from the carrier that covered you prior.
Upon presenting that letter to the HIPAA plan or carrier, the plan is required to let you purchase the coverage as long as it is done within 63 days of your coverage ending.
Thanks to COBRA and HIPAA, now, if you ever become insured under an employer health plan, you will be permitted to maintain health insurance indefinitely, even after your employment terminates. So whether your coverage comes from an individual policy or through an employer, once you are insured, you have a right to keep that coverage until other coverage, such as Medicare comes along.

Lets get things perfectly clear right off the bat...I like sitting around watching television. I know that this is not the most popular approach to living nowadays. Today, its getting out and living life not laying around watching someone else do it. Exercise and healthy eating is starting to infringe upon my lifestyle of buttered popcorn, Goobers, and spend the majority of my waking hours as a Couch Potato. But, its a way to go.
I am not old, per say, but I am getting older. At 39, I remember standing in line to see Star Wars or Coma, hitting the Drive-in for Smokey and the Bandit or Porky's, and then heading home for an episode of Happy Days or the Brady Bunch. I remember Bruce Banner when he was Eddie's father, a skinny Dan Akroyd, and Saturday nights watching Hawaii 5-0 and eating TV dinners.
Ok, if that makes me old then so be it. And as an old person I am now entitled to my opinion regardless of how pointless and irrelavent it may seem. So be prepared for my reviews, comments, and shallow thinking as we journey forth into the past.
Hockey!! Hockey!! Okay, so I love hockey, and therefore, hockey movies.
Miracle - I caught this in February, but just rented it on DVD this week so I could enjoy Kurt Russell's accent some more :)
The Strong: Kurt Russell's Pants! One thing that stood out for me in this film was the wonderful editing during the final game. It's difficult during true life sports movies to keep up the tension during an event that people already know the outcome of. I also feel that they really captured the look and feel of the time period in which it occurred. And HOCKEY :D
The Weak: It was the usual 'feel-good movie' formula. Now I loves me a 'feel-good movie' every now and then, but enjoy it more when it's disguised - when I don't find out it is 'feel good' until the end.
Mystery, Alaska happens to be on my Top Ten list. I love it. I love the cast, the pacing, the plot, the humor- wonderful.
Slapshot - if you haven't seen it, you must. Hilarious!
Having a hockey movie take place in a small town and then focus on its locals instead of on the game sounded like a nice idea.
Too bad it doesn't work here.
Every subplot is overly melodramatic and nothing gets a satisfying resolution. Seriously, at times it's like watching Gone with the Wind on Ice.
Jay Roach's hockey dramedy is well-made, well-acted, and most importantly, hilarious.
Mystery, Alaska is an uplifting small town hockey film written by David E. Kelley with good performaces (Russell Crowe, Colm Meaney). A little hokey at times but what else would you expect from David E. Kelley?
So today I watched Mystery, Alaska. This was the last of my rentals and the one I was looking forward to most. The critics were pretty much split on this movie, but I love sports films. Rudy is in the top ten, and Friday Night Lights was one of my favorite movies of 2004. So obviously I was really interested in this.
While this film had so many flaws, I really really enjoyed it. Mystery Alaska, a fictional town in the extremely cold northwest, breaths hockey. The townspeople all come together saturday night to watch the local hockey team square off on the pond. But when Sports Illustrated does a small article about them, the NHL believes it would be good publicity to invite the New York Rangers up and have an exhibition game. For such a small town, this sparks lots of attention but the team of just 11 players practice like it's the stanley cup.
Alaska stars Russell Crowe as the teams captain, and Burt Reynolds as the teams coach, and as the towns Judge. Reynolds actually pulls off a great performance as a stubborn father, hard-ass Judge, and ultimately the teams coach who makes the team run dog sleds and skate for hours. I also think the other players did a tremendous job with what they were given. However, this film was far from perfect. There were some odd sub plots that had me cringing (the premature ejaculating high school kid, need I say more?). Along with that, the idea that they can score two goals against a professional team before they can even score one is hard to really believe.
Nonetheless, I really admired this film for all the heart it had. It may not have been a masterpiece like Rudy, but a good film that deserves a watch.
Mystery, Alaska is the best hockey movie that I have ever seen. I really really really enjoyed Slap Shot and Miracle, and they were both great movies, but Mystery has something that the other movies did not. I don't know exactally what it is, but it is just something. Some magical aura around it that makes it stand out compared to other hockey movies that I have seen. I think one of the main clinchers for me is the fact that they lose the game. Most movies are all happy happy, the good guy wins movies, but oh no, you don't see this one coming. I think that is what makes it a great movie (minus the slow clapping at the end, shame on you Burt Reynolds).
"Mystery is made up of quirky characters, charming storylines and an often funny and affecting script, all brought to life by excellent actors."
-- Sandra Ramani, CITYSEARCH

Rahm doesn't think about Democratic turnout. His reputation for "winning a Democratic majority" rests on his ability as a self-promoter to take credit for victories that happened in spite of him. The truth is that his "act more like Republicans" strategy just hasn't worked out, and we're getting whiffs of the disaster it spells for Democrats who follow it.

Above shows (almost all) my supplies. My quilt top, my backing fabric, and then purchased yesterday from Amitie: Four perle 8 threads to match the gradient of colours, appropriate needles, a new thimble, a marking pencil, more basting pins and some batting (not pictured).
I decided to go with the 100% wool batting that they have, so hopefully the finished quilt will be nice and warm. Also, the batting is nice and fluffy which should hide the lumpiness of some of the seam allowances.
Now, once I've taken photos, to baste... my knees, back and fingers aren't looking forward to it!

Locke's drunken 3-way reminded me of a funny story from my grad-school days (in the early 2000s). Let's just say this was back in my "much less Christian" days.
I shared an apartment in downtown Louisville with 2 other guys and let me tell you this place was a pantie-dropper. There were very few apartments at that time in the main downtown business district. Our apartment had awesome views of the downtown buildings with around 1800 square feet. Let's just say the views got me my wife...
One of my roommates was one of those spikey-haired buff kinda guys. All he had to do was glance at a female and she'd practically climb into his bed. I was both sickening and amazing at the same time. His problem was that he didn't always pick the most "sane" women to use his mutant power on. One time he started dating this stripper. She was ok looking, nothing really outstanding but he always wanted to date one. One Saturday night we're all partying, and I've had enough so I go to bed. The next morning I wake up and go into the living room where a couple of our buddies who had crashed on our couches and my other roommate were watching TV. I sit down with them and eat breakfast. The tell me that Nathan and his stripper girlfriend had one of her friends show up last night and then the 3 of them disappeared into Nathan's room.
All of a sudden here comes Nathan walking out into the livingroom in a daze with nothing but his gym shorts on. Dude looked like he was in shock. We asked him what was wrong. He said "just go crack the door to my bedroom and look in". We did.
There were 2 buck naked chicks passed out on the bed and a couple of used condoms on the floor. A half dozen beer bottles littered the room. Seriously it looked like a rock star's hotel room or something.
We came back in and asked him how it was. He of course gave us details (yes he had fun). But then just said "That's my first 3 way. I don't know what to do with myself now. Do I eat breakfast or stare off into space? I honestly don't know what to do with myself." (I'm paraphrasing of course)
It was like he was wondering around the tornado devastated home of his sex life, unsure what to do at that moment or where to go. Funny stuff.
It was funny until a month later when that crazy stripper chick got drunk one night and craved "HELLO" in the hood of his car for no apparent reason. Also wasn't funny when a few months after that Nathan used his mutant power on a not so cute girl in town from Ohio for the Kentucky Derby and he got her pregnant on a supposed to be one-night-stand.
With great power comes great responsibility I suppose.

Who should be given a client's medical information, and under what circumstances?
1 Answer | Add Yours
In general, very few people have a right to see a patient's medical history or files. The doctor-patient privilege is a sacred one, but also with some teeth behind it. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) has a privacy clause which requires that companies or organizations with medical histories take reasonable steps to ensure that data is kept private and secure. It also requires that permission must be obtained to release records to third parties.
This would include insurance companies, and often patients must sign permission forms for release of records before insurance companies will pay on claims activity.
In addition, medical information could be released to relatives either with a patient's consent, or if they have power of attorney or guardianship of the patient which empowers them to make medical decisions for them. This would of course include minors in the care of an adult, or the elderly who have given legal control of their decisions over to a relative. In rare cases, a court order or subpoena might require medical records to be released.

(Olive Branch, MS) An Olive Branch man is faced with the heartbreaking decision of getting rid of two cats because he is over the legal limit as allowed by the city.
The man says he wants to be left alone because his eight cats are like his children, but someone complained to police.
Police say they found the man and his cats in an unsanitary environment for people and inhumane environment for the cats.
"That`s like having to give away one of your kids to me. Cause I never was married, and I never had any kids," said Jimmy Akins.
Akins says he started taking in cats when his father died of Leukemia many years ago, "My kids, that`s what they are to me. I feed them can food in the morning and at night and I cook them boiled chicken breast for lunch."
He has eight cats after putting two down Monday.
Next week, a judge will decide if Akins needs to get rid of two more cats to comply with city rules.
According to the city ordinance Olive Branch will let you have six cats and four dogs inside your house.
That's a lot more flexible than neighboring Southaven, where you can only have five adult animals.
In Horn Lake you can only have four animals inside your house.
Akins says he can't pick which two cats should go, "Well, I would rather them euthanize me than have to watch that, because I`m all they`ve ever known, and I don't think they`ll be able to adjust."
Police say someone complained about the cats so they went to check it out.
That's when they found Akins and his mother breaking the law.
They also found a cat with severe sores on its head.
"We`re not the cat police going around knocking on doors asking how many animals you have, but that is a city ordinance, and it was made for the reason of health and things being sanitary," Said Major Tim Presley with the Olive Branch Police Department.
Akins says he's ripped up carpet and cleaned to comply with the rules.
He will go before a judge Tuesday who will decide the fate of the cats, buts he says he is ready to fight for them.

Three-quarters of the state's schools received a grade of C or lower under a new ranking system unveiled by the Maine Department of Education on Wednesday.
Only 10 high schools, most of them in southern Maine, received an A grade.
While there has been widespread resistance to the idea, which some have called a punitive oversimplification of a school's quality, the LePage administration has billed the grades as a simple and accessible way to reward high-performing schools and help educators and communities rally around the rest. Maine is the 14th state in the nation, along with New York City, to implement a school grading system.
Superintendents across the state blasted the grading system as overly simplistic, "myopic and senseless."

that glow when you turn them around.
The only thing you need is some simple electronics!
For this project i used a paper template of a diamond,
you can find them here: http://www.minieco.co.uk/paper-gems-new-templates/
Of course you can also create your own paper model.
The project will cost you about $5,
and won't take more than an hour.
Step 1: All you need
These are the things you need:
- paper model
download a template here: http://www.minieco.co.uk/paper-gems-new-templates/
or create one yourself
- tilt switch
preferably one without mercury
- LED light
choose a color of your liking, make sure it works with 3V
- battery CR2032 3V
- battery holder for CR2032
- circuit board (custom or diy)
I fabricated a custom circuit board, send me a message if you want one too!
- scissors
and possibly a sharp knife to cut out small details
- soldering iron
- solder
- glue
any kind that works well with the paper you are using
- pliers
to trim excess material off your finished circuit
- glue gun (optional)
to mount the circuit inside the model
Step 2: Soldering the circuit
plug in your soldering iron and let it heat up while you sort out the parts.
Solder the battery holder, tilt switch and LED in series,
the tilt switch will just break or close the circuit.
Most important is to make sure the poles of the battery and LED are connected right.
(usually an LED has one longer leg, this needs to be connected to the + pole of the battery)
Be carefull with the soldering fumes...
When you are done soldering, test the circuit by mounting the battery.
The LED should turn off when you hold the circuit upside down.
Nice joob!!!
Hi, all pictures are real. Keep in mind that it has to be a little bit dark to see it glow that bright.
Thanks Satrek! Nice idea, i'm thinking about using an RGB LED for the next one.
Cool idea. Really simple, and loads of potential... Thanks for sharing!
You might even extend this by using, say, three different color LEDs with three different tilt switches and make a model that chances color depending on orientation.

At times, words can speak louder than actions. And what you say to a company that owns you can get you in trouble. As shown with fourzerotwo's somewhat unprofessional behavior in a recent blog of his:
Can you guys please stop interviewing this guy, talk to someone who actually works on the Dev Team at Treyarch and knows what the fuck they're talking about. Not Senior Super Douche Noah Heller from Activision - who apparently has never played the game and doesn't even work at the developer.
I understand that you don't like the guy. That's fine. I didn't like it when Heller decided to slam Ubisoft and Gearbox's Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway earlier this year say it was "inferior" to World at War. But dude, he works for the company that owns YOUR company, and saying stuff like that could get you FIRED. Or get you into the "public apology" mode to save your ass. This is like saying how fat and ugly your boss is while in the break room and he just waltzes in. Do you expect him to be chortling with you? No, usually they fire people that do that.
See, there's nothing wrong with saying this to a friend or something, but for a public blog? Not really the smartest of moves.
I hope you got that apology post prepared, or expect to get noticed on Kotaku as "former Infinity Ward community manager fired by Activision for remarks against employee" and looking for another CM job. Which there's probably not that many.

I told you all about my process of coming out. I believe you shouldn't depend on the gender of a person before you decide if you want to be with them. And if you love someone, you should love their mind, not their body. I mean, beauty lasts only for so long anyway. If you walk around with the attitude that you're only attracted to a specific type of body and won't be with anyone that doesn't fit these requirements, you're definitely going to die alone if you get old enough and your mate's body changes.
Wow, that was a bit harsh, but yeah. That's my take on it. It's a sexist view, especially since it's only a year. Come on, he can't go a year? And, of course, you know that not all men have a penis and not all women have a vagina. There's very little that separates the two genders because we're all individuals. And anyone who says you can't change the role you were born into needs to just stop it! Seriously.
Sonic# wrote:And there's also issues of attraction to bodies which can be tied to or independent of treating people differently based on gender. (There's an episode of Star Trek where the gender of someone's body changes halfway through the episode, and Dr. Crusher can no longer love him/her.)

Storage and Disposal wrote:The straightest of straight men do suffer from penisphobia, but come on. Deal with it for a year if it'll mean you get to spend the rest of your life with the person you love.
LunchBox wrote:
His reasoning other than I'd have a penis so he wouldn't want me like that came down to the fact that he'd have to interact with me differently. This is because like in where I replied to Monk and Zibber, he believes people can' t help acting different as each gender. Although there are certain traits unique to each gender; I disagree with him, but that's a whole nother can of worms. I tried to challenge him by asking hypothetically if I grew a penis but was still dressing the same and acting the exact same (supposedly like a female, like me) and not being an obvious male could he be with me the same way as now. He said yeah but that's blurring the lines. It's a start.

8 Foods that Pack on Muscle

Olive Oil: Liquid Energy
How it builds muscle: Sure, you could oil up your chest and arms and strike a pose, but it works better if you eat the stuff. "The monounsaturated fat in olive oil appears to act as an anticatabolicnutrient," says Kalman. In other words, it prevents muscle breakdown by lowering levels of a sinister cellular protein called tumor necrosis factor-a, which is linked with muscle wasting and weakness (kind of like watching The View).
And while all olive oil is high in monos, try to use the extra-virgin variety whenever possible; it has a higher level of free-radical-fighting vitamin E than the less chaste stuff.
How it keeps you healthy: How doesn't it? Olive oil and monounsaturated fats have been associated with everything from lower rates of heart disease and colon cancer to a reduced risk of diabetes and osteoporosis.

In the Andrew Hudgins poem "In the Well," a boy suspended by a rope is lowered into a well by his father: "I could taste/my fear./It tasted first of dark, then earth, then rot...I gagged, and pressed/my neighbor's missing dog/against me. I held its death/and rose up to my father./Then light. Then hands. Then breath." Hudgins, an English professor at Ohio State University, is a powerful poet who ushers in a new season of readings as part of the River Styx at Duff's Series, tonight at 7:30 p.m. (Duff's, 329 North Euclid Avenue, 314-533-4541, $4-$5). River Styx litmag welcomes Hudgins, a poet who does not cloud the page with confusing language. Another poem, 1992's "Praying Drunk," is about exactly what you think it is. Also reading is essayist Robert Stewart.

Come join the tribe. You don't need Polynesian tattoos or lip plates to blend in at Tribal Dance & Art, the latest attraction at Don Ericson's Art Coop. Each Tuesday starting tonight (5 p.m.-1 a.m., $5), an ambitious lineup of activities may include: teach-ins, workshops, artists, DJs, bands, poets, dancers, body-painting, yoga, drum circles, singing bowls and nude-figure drawing. That's all well and good, but we're waiting for other primitive fun, like pulling out guests' teeth with only a string and a slamming door, or a contest to see who's got the hairiest back. Head to 1620 Delmar Boulevard (enter from rear, on Lucas Avenue, 314-428-3747, [email protected]).
