5 things you need to know happening in Florida on Friday, November 16
TAMPA - Here are five things you need to know happening in Florida on Friday, November 16.
(1) Shaver twins funeral
The funeral for 3-year-old New Port Richey twins killed in a house fire on Monday will be held on Friday.
Micah and Miah Shaver died when they were trapped inside their Wabayo Street mobile home in the Moon Lake neighborhood. The twins' mother, Shannon Garza, made it out of her home, but neighbors and firefighters were unable to rescue the girl and boy.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation, but officials believe it started close to the children's bedroom.
The funeral is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. at Church of Christ at 6767 River Road in New Port Richey. It is open to the public.
A funeral assistance fund for the family is set up at Bank of America. If you wish to donate, you can do so at any Bank of America branch by mentioning the Shaver Funeral and Family Assistance Trust Fund (account #229043991449).
(2) National Adoption Day
Friday is National Adoption Day in Florida and across the country.
In Hillsborough County over 20 foster children will leave with their new forever families during the Hillsborough National Adoption Day celebration at the George E. Edgecomb Courthouse in Tampa.
The adoption finalized hearings, normally closed to the public, will be open to guests today. The emotional ceremonies begin at 9:00 a.m. and continue to 1:00 p.m.
More than 25 Pasco County children will officially be granted new parents during the county's annual National Adoption Day observance at the West Pasco Judicial Center in New Port Richey.
Adoption Day goals are to finalize adoptions from foster care, celebrate families who adopt and raise awareness and encourage others to adopt.

We often think and remember pictorially,
storing memories and emotions in our mental photofiles. For
example, we may think of environmentally sound buildings by
remembering the increasingly popular LEED checklist with scores;
the revival of coal-fired powerplants via the image of Wisconsin
Public Service Corp.s mighty Weston project; or the
passage of the $286-billion federal transportation bill, approved
after an unforgivable 22- month delay, tied by habit to the
image of the Capitol in Washington, D.C. Except for a war
that has taken too many lives and a series of natural disasters,
2005 was a relatively good year. Its last-ing picture is one
of hard work, creativity and enterprise in the industry.
On the following pages is what
we consider the construction industrys private scrapbook,
our annual The Year in Construction feature, an
amalgam of projects and people skillfully photographed and
submitted to the editors of ENR.
Instead of documenting the big
stories of the year, these images often freeze the more private
moments and the personal perspectives on construction. Some
of their subjects have a sweeping grandeur, a majesty and
subliminal power that words never can convey. There is no
surprise in this. Designing and building are everyday activities
that involve the harnessing of rivers, the imagining of inspired
public structures, the taming of gravity, sundering of stone
and the transmutation of steel. That such work could produce
powerful images on an everyday basis is easy to grasp. Whats
harder to reconcile is how the most intense periods of constructionwhen
sparks are spewing from the welders torch, or cranes
are flying a bridge section over a rivercan produce
so much beauty before whats being built is even finished.
Not everyone in the industry appreciates such beauty or cares
to put it into words, but architects, engineers and contractors
all touch the result and through it have a special relationship
to soil, water, air, machinery, electricity, concrete, steel
and other project components.
These photos put us back in touch
with the inspirational and lyrical side of building things.
A building frame, illuminated by dozens of lights, can take
on the golden cast of an angel food cake; ironworkers clasping
themselves to steel braces can seem as if they are hanging
onto rocking horses; concrete pumps, shrouded by a blue fog,
can seem like spindly Jurassic monsters feeding in the mist;
bundles of post-tensioning cables can metamorphose into a
tulip bouquet; and the lazy drape of cable sheathing can resemble
the flaccid tentacles of a sea creature.
This year, we requested photos
of people working safely, partly in response to those who
are concerned about what they think are apparent safety violations
in some ENR photos. Still, photographers continued to submit
images showing potential violations. We brought in Bob Magee,
a safety specialist with the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration, to help judge the photos. Ultimately, he helped
us make the tough decision to include a couple of images with
apparent safety violations in the final presentation, such
as the ironworker whose hardhat is turned backward.
The reason, part of which is discussed
in the story on photography and safety, is what Magee says
is the deceptive nature of some photos (see p. 26). A photograph
can show a case where a violation is apparent, but not the
full context. Magee says that even dramatic photos of ironworkers
climbing on open steel may not show citable violations without
additional information. And, there remains a proper balance
between photojournalism showing the industry as it actually
is and how safety experts would like to see it. We expect
to hear more from you about it next year.
Gives readers a glimpse of who is planning and constructing some of the largest projects throughout the U.S. Much information for pulse is derived from McGraw-Hill Construction Dodge.

Bowie's done it. Little Richard's done it. Kurt Cobain, too. Glam rock was essentially built on dudes pushing boundaries in clothing, hairstyles, and yes, even makeup more typical of the female set, and that, in turn, influenced other genres like shock rock, hair metal, new romanticism, and goth, to name a few. Gender-bending style has long been the provenance of rock and rollers, played mostly for either laughs or simply to shock the normies, but these days, you're slightly more likely to see a rapper in womenswear.
Rap, much like heavy metal, is a historically hyper-masculine genre of music, so it's refreshing to see men in the hip-hop industry wear clothing that isn't gender-specific simply because (a) they like it and (b) do you really need another reason? Let's take a look at our favorite MCs bucking conventional clothing stereotypes.
Jay-Z in New York on June 4, and the same jersey on Shopbop.
Photo: Splash News/ Shopbop
Jay Z was spotted in a Rodarte jersey in New York while hanging out with the Queen Bey herself. Fairly innocuous right? It looks just like a football jersey, but it's from a line best known for its ability to blend esoteric themes of "prettiness" with unconventional subject matters like Japanese horror movies (see: the Fall 2008 collection). As it stands, you can purchase it on Shopbop for $405. You could have worse role models than the Jigga Man.

BOOM! Historic media event.
OF CREATIVES AND OTHER UNDESIRABLES: The kind folk at United States Artists released a survey claiming 96 percent of Americans "highly value art in their lives and communities," but only 27 percent believe that "artists contribute 'a lot' to the good of society." I can believe this. I came of age in a Seattle that loved old R&B music, as long as it was performed by whites. A Seattle whose favorite cultural genre was the foreign art film, something that came in a tin can from creators safely far away. I now live in a Seattle that just built a huge trinity of art museums, which take little interest in local artists and even less interest in living local artists. It's easy for me to imagine other folk around the country taking a similar attitude of enjoying the delicious milk of culture, as long as they don't have to don't have to smell the cows who make it.

Car Leasing 301 - Calculate Car Lease Payments
Figuring Our Your Monthly Car Lease Payments
What is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for your car?
This is your vehicles sticker price, not including any additional charges as destination, delivery or any other fees or charges.
Ex. $25,000
What is your Base Cap Cost?
Your base cap cost is the negotiated lease price for the vehicle. This will be the cars price you and the dealer agreed upon, which likely already includes any negotiated discounts or reductions from the sticker price. This is known as the Base Cap Cost in a vehicle lease agreement.
Adjusted Captilalized Cost
Ex. $23,500
Are there any additional costs included in the lease agreement?
Are there other costs as bank (acquisition) fees (define:
acquisition fees
), luxury tax, insurance, extended warranty, added options, etc. included in the price of the car you're leasing or purchasing?
What Cap Cost Reductions do you have?
The cost of you lease is reduced by any payments you put down initially, such as a down payment or trade-in vehicle or credit. This may also include any rebates from the manufacturer.
Ex. Down Payment = $2,100
Calculating steps 1-4 above will give you your Adjusted (Net) Capital Cost. This is the Net Cap Cost that your lease payment is calculated.
Your Adjusted (Net) Capital Cost
adjusted capitalized cost
is calculated by your Base Cap Cost plus (+) any additional costs incurred in the lease, less (-) and reductions or Cap Cost Reductions. This is referred most often as the Cap Cost.

Why the U.S. Owns the Rise of Islamic State and the Syria Disaster

Mitt Romney is grinding his way to the Republican presidential nomination not by winning hearts but by imposing his will on a party that keeps resisting him.
AP / Charles Dharapak
On Super Tuesday, the most important matter facing the country was not who will win the Republican presidential nomination but whether Israel will drag the United States into a war with Iran.
After the jump are the primary and caucus results from Super Tuesday, with 416 delegates in 10 states at stake. Updated
Among the contests getting much more attention this Super Tuesday, Rep. Dennis Kucinich is fighting a primary battle in Ohio to stay in the House of Representatives.

What happens in Ohio politics never stays in Ohio, and there are two story lines there on the eve of Super Tuesday.
Vox Efx (CC-BY)
Now comes Super Tuesday, with 10 states in play—that really means Ohio.
Republicans haven't quite thrown away what they see as a winnable presidential election, at least not yet. But they're trying their best.

While the spotlight is starting to singe the Democrats, it's true that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have gotten heaping doses of attention compared with the supposed media darling, John McCain. Here's one indication: The covers of Time and Newsweek have featured the face of an Obama or a Clinton eight times since Super Tuesday.
Sen. Hillary Clinton is focusing on the high points of the last week—her Super Tuesday successes in weighty states like New York and California, for example—and looking to potential wins in Texas and other elections to hold her position in the race for the Democratic nomination in coming weeks.
AP photo / Orlin Wagner
If one thing is clear after last week's Super Tuesday craziness, it's that candidates who seemed to score big want to claim victory as a foregone conclusion, while others who didn't show quite as strongly—like Mike Huckabee, for example—want to challenge the finality of the results.
AP photo / Charlie Niebergall
After Super Tuesday, Democrats are worrying that a long Clinton-Obama contest might irreparably damage the party's prospects in November. But, as longtime political reporter and former Los Angeles Times City Editor Bill Boyarsky points out, the bigger threat is a McCain-Huckabee ticket.
AP photo / Rick Bowmer
Super Tuesday's aftermath is certainly providing a good crash course in American electoral politics as the results are sorted out. The latest surprising twist involves Barack Obama's camp claiming a slight lead over Hillary Clinton in the total number of delegates racked up. Officially, the final count has not been determined yet.
Perhaps because neither Obama, Clinton nor McCain won a crushing victory, the top candidates' post-Super Tuesday speeches repeated earlier themes, though with renewed focus on each other. McCain's breathy tribute to himself would be the exception.
AP photo / Chris Carlson
As the dust settles from Tuesday's "national primary," we know two things: John McCain is the Republican front-runner and the Democrats still have a race on their hands. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama swapped states all night. Obama won more states overall, but Hillary took home the big prizes of California and New York. Updated
Here are the results from the big night. The voters threw us a few surprises, but after a bumpy night, we appear to be back at square one.
Hey there, independent voters—would a (prerecorded) phone call from sultry starlet Scarlett Johansson persuade you to head to the polls on Tuesday and cast a vote for her fave candidate, Barack Obama? Johansson certainly hopes so, so don't ignore those numbers you don't recognize on your caller ID—it could be robo-ScarJo!
It's endorsement mania in these final hours before Super Tuesday, and here's Hillary Clinton taking news of Ann Coulter's offhanded endorsement in stride, shooting a quick joke back at the "Inside Edition" reporter who apparently hoped to freak her out by cornering her with his Coulter question and his cameraman's assertive use of his zoom function.
In case you haven't heard, the New York Giants whipped the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl on Sunday. It was a major upset that earned them one of those grand New York City ticker-tape parades, to take place on Tuesday. Which raises the question: How will millions of New Yorkers clogging the subways, blocking the streets and flocking to the "Canyon of Heroes" affect Tuesday's other big event, the election?
AP photo / Elise Amendola
This weekend, Sen. Barack Obama is unleashing a secret weapon in the final push to win Tuesday's California primary: Oprah Winfrey. Team Obama partly attributes his successes in Iowa and South Carolina to her influence, which he's hoping will help convince California women to choose him over Hillary Clinton.

Comments about Levy's 2.5" Mock Crocodile Padded Strap:
This is my second padded Levi strap and like the first it is very comfortable. I like the wider 3 inch strap. I installed strap locks on this strap and it was a bit tough to cut but my exacto hobby kit got the job done. It looks great on the Ibanez ArtCore AG-75.
Comments about Levy's 2.5" Mock Crocodile Padded Strap:
My wife and kids got this for my as an early fathers day gift. I got the tan strap and it is the most absolutely gorgeous guitar strap I have ever seen. The back side is garment quality leather and it has ample padding I like the suede Levy straps because they stay in place so well. I believe this strap will do very good and the only improvement that I see that could be made is suede on the inside. If you want a strap that is absolutely beautiful for that special guitar this is it. This strap is locked onto my Fender ice blue metallic Strat with a pearloid pickguard and Fender Hot Noiseless pickups. I hate to use the word ?bling? but man it looks good.

Document Number: 5533Final Report and Findings of the Safe School Initiative: Implications for The Prevention of School Attacks in the United States - A study, which was conducted by the U.S. Secret Service in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Education, analyzed data from 37 incidents of targeted school shootings and school attacks from 1974 through June 2000. The report identified bullying as a common feature in the lives of the perpetrators. Particular attention was given to pre-attack behaviors that could be identified and used to predict and prevent future attacks. In 81% of the attacks, at least one person had information that the attacker was thinking about or planning the attack, and in 59% of the attacks, more than one person had similar information. In 83% of the cases an adult had concerns over the attacker�s behavior prior to the attack. (U.S. Secret Service and Department of Education, 2002) ...

(Anti) Social-Lists 12/7/08
This week we have sources for free images, grief counseling for bloggers, living car-free in LA, a new WordPress plugin and the types of people to unfollow on Twitter. Enjoy!
- Enhance your blog posts with free high quality images – A guide to the best free high quality stock images.
- Grief Counseling for Bloggers – David Bradley wrote this article when I was complaining about losing my page rank. It's a humorous look at how bloggers react when events, such as lost passwords, dropped page ranks, and a decrease in RSS subscriptions, occur.
- Car Free Mondays: A Series Featuring Car Free Women in LA – Siel, at Green LA Girl, has been writing a series about women who live in LA and don't own cars. I don't own a car, but I live in a big city with good public transportation, and it's fascinating for me to read how women are living car-free in a city where supposedly everyone drives.
- Top Ten List of People to Unfollow on Twitter – Many lists of top 10 users on Twitter have been written – 10 Ten in Social Media, Top Ten Environmentalists, etc. In this article, Shannon Whitley lists the top ten types of people to unfollow on Twitter. It's funny and true.
- Contact Commenters WordPress Plugin – Our friend Ajith has released a new plugin called Contact Commenters. This plugin provides an easy way to email your commenters based on a variety of different criteria such as All Commentors on a Particular Post, All Commentors in last X number of days, etc. I helped Ajith test the plugin and it works great!

Good links! Thanks.
Jim´s last blog post – memed and an award
Checked out the 4th link. I fit in many of those categories. :(
Wesley´s last blog post – My hiatus is going to be longer than expected.
Thanks, Kim. Awesome list as usual. I like the free HQ image links. :-)
Jim´s last blog post – The Most Important Moment in Television History
Great links. A nice bit of humor to start my day. (@Twitter pruning and misplaced grief)
Shirley´s last blog post – 36 Ways To Cure Writer's Block
Thanks for the mention Kim :) So far, I got some good response from 20+ people out of the 40 or 50 downloads…
Hope the plugin will be of use for a lot more…
And thanks for the other links as well…
Ajith Edassery´s last blog post – Contact Commenters WordPress Plugin Released!
You always have the best links — And I'm not just saying that b/c you linked to me :P
Siel´s last blog post – Clicklist: Things that don't suck
Thanks again, Kim, for another great list! How do you find time to do anything else?
I had used some of the services on the free images URL, but some were new to me. The Twitter unfollow URL was all too true, and funny as well.
I've downloaded the Contact Commenters plugin and will give it a try. How many plugins have you been instrumental in producing now?
Mike Nichols´s last blog post – Phobia Names: Why Can't We Just Agree?
Hi Kim, Great advice as usual! This one had so many things that caught my eye. I read the unfollow advice and thought about how I pick people to follow on Twitter. I look for conversation and real people reactions. I do feel that the blog posting can be overdone but I would never have found some of my favorite blogs if someone hadn't promoted them.
I'm still checking out the links. I had read Chris Brogan's post before. His blog like yours is delivered to my e-mail.
Julie Walraven´s last blog post – Postcards from the road
Good stuff Kim! I've checked out a couple, and will be back to check out more. As I get more into this, I love soaking up as much information as I can on all things blogging-related and to an extent, web-related. Thanks!
Lance´s last blog post – Sunday Thought For The Day
I can soooo relate to Browne Molyneux on "Car Free Mondays". She brought up issues I never heard anyone dare mention before.
Thanks for posting this!
Carla´s last blog post – Emperor "Clean Coal" has no clothes
Grief counseling for bloggers. That is kind of necessary, because when I have a breakdown about a loss of subscribers, non-bloggers really just don't have the kind of sympathy that I would hope for in their reactions. :)
~ Kristi
Kikolani | Poetry, Photography, Blogging Tips´s last blog post – Photos Taken with my LG CU920
Well, thanks for linking. I had need to re-read my own counsel this week after Google switched my feeds over to their system from Feedburner and I lost 1000 subscribers on Sciencebase.com earlier this week, thankfully they seem to have come back home. Phew. No more tears.

Other Inquiries800.445.1900
Recovery. It is such a fascinating word. It is a word so clearly defined yet recovery is not a defined experience. What does this word really mean? How does it play out in life? How does it play out in and through a situation that so desperately is in need of recovery? Recovery is, as I like to call it a journey, different for all who embark upon it. Recovery enables you to gain confidence as you grow out of a life threatening disease and addiction. Recovery is not about an individual's status. It is a journey of the heart fighting against lies that want nothing more than to destroy the very reason any person exists. Recovery is a choice. Though it is not easy, for those like myself who want nothing more than to say: "I am living recovered" it is a choice that must be made.
Recovery requires Humility. For me, it was a chance to regain my ability to love and to be loved. It required (and does require) a level of toughness for it is a journey of survival. The addiction is misleading by instilling fear into the person. The key is speaking truth to what lies are being pressed upon you. It would be wonderful to say that recovery just comes with time and then be able to give an amount of time but I am unable to do so. There is no time frame due to the truth that recovery is not the same for any one person. In recovery you must reject all power that the addiction has on you and shift focus. Recovery is realizing that you cannot and never will be perfect. There will be moments. I have found it essential to choose to embrace challenge and battle the lies with truth. Moments lessen but they will always appear. It is a choice to not allow the thoughts, feelings, or situations own you. There are times when it seems impossible to fight the moments it is here at these places I have needed to have humility.
There is an assumption that when one is walking in recovery that you must be ok. There is this battle that goes on in the mind that you must make everyone around you happy that you are doing so well. This is the very moment where the addiction rears its ugly head yet again. I found that it was allowing myself to need assistance. Having been through rehab, I knew what it was like to have people around me to care, love, and push me towards health, healing, and wholeness. Transparency is a necessity. I knew it was key to recovery to surround myself with those whom want nothing more than to create a safe haven for me. It was and is my level of transparency that allows me to accept who I am and who I have been made to be. Transparency is the opposite of isolation. Transparency with the appropriate people destroyed my ability to isolate. The destruction of isolation is essential to recovery because secrecy along with isolation results in destruction.
Recovery takes action. Instead of being a slave to the demands and expectations you believe others have or others do have, you actively choose to focus on truth. The beauty of this: You are worth more than what you feel or have ever thought. Self-worth is not based on what other individuals say or feel about us. Recovery is challenging, painful, and demanding. However, the peace of God is constantly flowing over me like a waterfall over the rocks. God is so faithful; He is the God of the Present and the Future. It is because of His grace that I have not and will never be held to past failures but given freedom. Thinking about the past years reveals to me the beauty of God's hand in my life particularly. I am no longer under the tight hold that of the Eating disorder. This does not mean my life is perfect but I am free and living life the way the Lord made me to live it, in Him.
I am honored to be able to help people struggling with Eating Disorders today. It blesses me to help others take back their life. Being a recovery consultant soon to be therapist, I have learned and enjoyed helping those struggling with ED in a more professional manner. I am privileged to walk along side others as they reclaim their life and restore their relationships. I get to encourage others to love and to be loved. I get to welcome others into this freedom I have been living and that is the greatest gift of all.

They seem like great models. I think its really frustrating for chandler developers that the main tinderbox goes orange/red if something is changed in internal/wx that hasn't been rolled out to the trunk. That doesn't happen with PyICU/PyLucene. I think as long as: 1) unit + functional tests on wx changes are run just before rolling a tarball and 2) tarballs are only rolled when the tree is already green ...then a bad wx landing shouldn't happen. I'm sure everyone can agree with that. I think its up to wx people (i.e. robin, david, reid, john, etc) to decide what kind of process works best for them in between tarballs - incremental updates, multiple branches, or what. If they're happy breaking their own tree for a day or so while they iron out platform differences, that's fine. Andi does a fine job of maintaining PyICU/PyLucene and for all I know he might do the same thing. Since he only rolls tarballs when things are working for chandler, it doesn't really matter what he does, and that system seems to work very well. I don't know if we'll ever know for sure, but my impression is that the whole 36/39 debacle came about because wx got rolled while the functional tests were either broken or barely hobbling along, so we didn't realize wx caused more breakage until a lot of time had past. Thanks to Dan we have an ever-increasing number of tests, and thanks to Bear we have much better tinderbox stability, so hopefully going forward we'll only further reduce chances of us getting into that situation again.

Eating & Drinking Guide is a food lover's bible for everything local, with 80+ pages of restaurant, wine, food shop, and kitchen store recommendations. Look for it on newsstands or order it here.
Anne DesBrisay lists her picks for the city's best places to eat vegan and raw food — kitchens that think beyond the interminable salad bar.
Café My House
The menu at this adorable South Ottawa café is predominantly vegan, Pan-Asian in focus, and best known for its brunches. Try the ample vegan bibimbap, the polenta-crusted tempeh, or the gnocchi fashioned with squash and sage. Café My House, 1729 Bank St., 613-733-0707.
Try exceptional international vegan cuisine at Zen, where you'll find dishes that are adventurous and playful and attract both meat lovers (on a break) and meat shunners (who have found a high-end restaurant to call home). 634 Somerset St. W., 613-233-6404.
La Belle Verte
Cheery green and proudly bohemian, La Belle Verte's soundtrack to lunch is the high-speed blender whirring and grinding the day's menu. What isn't raw is mostly vegan. Desserts are shockingly good. 166, rue Eddy, Gatineau, 819-778-6363.
The Table
The daily buffet at this Wellington West institution casts its vegetarian net widely for inspiration. Dishes are fully indexed and coded, with all ingredients clearly spelled out. The Table, 1230 Wellington St. W., 613-729-5973.
The Green Door
The first and the longest-running, the Green Door daily buffet caters to vegans, vegetarians, dairy-free, nut-free, wheat-free, gluten-free, and parliamentarians weary of rubber chicken. The food is fresh, well made, clearly labelled, and awfully wholesome. Communal seating. 198 Main St., 613-234-9597.

EXCLUSIVE: George Takei Warps to 'Big Bang Theory'
But this season, only one of that quartet will share a scene with 'Star Trek's' Sulu, George Takei, who'll play himself on the CBS comedy in an episode tentatively scheduled for Thu., Oct. 14.
Take a moment to absorb this phaser blast: In that episode, Takei will appear alongside fellow geek icon Katee Sackhoff ('Battlestar Galactica'), who, as I reported last week, is returning to 'Big Bang Theory' to play Wolowitz's conscience.
In an interview, Prady explained that Wolowitz is thinking about getting back together with his ex-girlfriend Bernadette (Melissa Rauch), and it sounds as though Sackhoff and Takei will represent opposing points of view.
"George Takei plays himself, and he's the other person guiding Wolowitz in his thoughts as he tries to figure out what to do about Bernadette," Prady said.
Prady won't disclose the venue for this conversation, but he ruled out a return to Wolowitz's bathtub, where Sackhoff famously appeared last season. But Sackhoff and Takei do share some dialogue, Prady noted.
"I think they do discuss being typecast in science-fiction shows," Prady said.
Though the CBS comedy is opening up a new comedy block for CBS on Thursdays this fall, Prady said that the show doesn't have any plans to alter its basic DNA or engage in crazy stuntcasting.
He noted that he's not a fan of guest stars that "take you out of the world" that the characters normally live in, hence the show's plans to continue casting people and actors that "mean something to these guys."
Stuntcasting means that "you're not watching the show -- you're watching Madonna or Britney Spears. You're watching something that's meta. What we often do is have people from the sci-fi or technology world, often playing themselves," Prady said.
Along those lines, computer pioneer Steve Wozniak will appear in the second episode of the season, and Prady and co-creator Chuck Lorre hope to engineer a return visit for Wil Wheaton, a 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' veteran who has guested on the show a few times as Sheldon's nemesis.
Speaking of guest stars, Mayim Bialik, who plays Sheldon's new friend Amy Farrah Fowler, will recur this fall, and Laurie Metcalf will return in episode 3 as Sheldon's mom.
Wait, I have a feeling I've forgotten something. Oh yeah! Jim Parsons won a Best Comedy Actor this week. Thoughts, Mr. Prady?
"We couldn't be prouder of him," Prady said. "He obviously brings an astonishing performance."
But Prady went out of his way to praise the entire cast, which includes Kaley Cuoco as Penny.
"Usually when you do this [job], when you sit in the writers' room, there's a cast member you're writing away from. You're sitting in the room going, 'Well, he can't deliver a line like that' and 'She'll never give you this moment that you're envisioning, so let's just write away from it,'" Prady said. On 'Big Bang,' "we sit in a room and never once, not for a moment, do we talk about any of these actors not being able to do anything we can think of. It's so wonderful to have Jim's performance acknowledged by the Academy, but it's one of five incredible performances that we experience."
I'll have more from Prady closer to 'The Big Bang Theory's' Sept. 23 season premiere.

Moving on through literatureJuly 10, 2009
Five years. Just saying that aloud seems crazy to me; five years seems like a lifetime, especially when I haven't lived that many years to begin with. In retrospect, however, those five years have flown by in a blur.
This will be my last article as a staff member of the Hastings Public Library. Typing those words fills me with a sense of sadness as I think back over my time working here, and all the wonderful memories and people I am sure never to forget. But as it does, life keeps moving forward, and my time remaining in Hastings is slowly drawing to a close. In August I will move on, on to a new and different experience.
In honor of this transition, and to honor transitions you may be facing as well, I decided to dedicate this last article to books that have inspired me, in hopes that these authors' words of wisdom will guide me and you along our way.
A book I relied heavily on this past year tries to answer the question most college graduates avoid like the plague "What Should I Do with My Life?" The author, Po Bronson was himself struggling with this question when he had the inspiration for this book, which chronicles the lives of fifty-five individuals who struggled with their own choices of destiny, vocation, and calling.
Along with this book is Cheryl Richardson's "Take Time for Your Life". Richardson uses a 7 step program to enable us to create, and live, the life we want. Her steps include reflecting on what drains us, what nurtures us, and the importance of building a strong community that sustains and supports.
As well as finding out what to do with your life, which paths to take, I have also found gems of wisdom in discerning just what, exactly, should be deemed important in this lifetime. These words of wisdom come from some familiar faces and characters, such as "The World According to Mister Rogers: Important Things to Remember", by the loved children's television host, and "The Velveteen Principles: Hidden Wisdom from a Children's Classic", by Toni Raiten-D'Antonio, based on the well-known children's story of the Velveteen Rabbit.
Three small but powerful books illustrate for the reader how to live more deeply, more fully, in this world. "Letter to a Great Grandson: A Message of Love, Advice, and Hopes for the Future", by Hugh Downs, is a letter Downs penned to his brand-new grandson, to be read at the different stages of his grandson's life. Maria Shriver's "Just who Will You Be?" advises the reader that its not what you do in this life that matters, but who you are, and that it is never too late to actualize this within yourself. And, though only 50 pages long, Anna Quindlen's "A Short Guide to a Happy Life", contains brilliantly worded messages to the reader for how to live in this world, instead of just existing in it.
One of my favorite books, perfect for any major change or transition, and one I have read a thousand times over is, of course, "Oh, the Places You'll Go", by Dr. Seuss. Dr. Seuss chronicles a life full of both ups and downs, adventures and thrills, in the standard rhyme pattern he became famous for. "Oh, the Places You'll Go" has always provided me with a sense of joy and hope. I leave you with my favorite lines: "So… be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray or Mordecai Ali Van Allen O'Shea, you're off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So… get on your way!"

9 to 5 Just Got a Whole Lot Cooler: Seattle Unveils the World's Greenest Office Building
I'm always skeptical when I hear the phrase "in the world" attached to any description. But it really is unmistakably accurate to say that the Bullitt Center, opening this month in Seattle, will be the greenest office building in the world.
The 50,000-square-foot building will generate all of its energy using solar panels, and all of its water will be provided by harvested rainwater. There will be indoor composting toilets, a system of geothermal wells for heating, and the building's wood-framed structure is made out of Forest Stewardship Council certified wood.
"Now that fossil fuels face serious constraints, it makes sense to turn back to ecology for lessons on how to best organize our cities and industries," Bullitt Foundation President Denis Hayes told TakePart. "We started asking what a building might look like if we viewed it as an organism with a brain, a nervous system, a respiratory system, a digestive system, etc., and that provided for its own needs without harming its neighbors."
Hayes, who was the National Coordinator of the first Earth Day when he was only 25 years old, added that, "Thinking that such a building would be well-adapted to the world of the future, we looked through the copious materials available of green design but couldn't find a single truly sustainable building of urban commercial scale. Some were great on energy, others on water, others on toxics or wood. But none tried to do it all."
What Hayes and his team did find, however, was the Living Building Challenge (developed by a grantee of the Bullitt Foundation) that Hayes said had a set of design criteria that sought the same goals as he did. "So we decided to design and build the first Living Building at scale—50,000 square feet. It turns out that 95 percent of office buildings, and more than half of office square footage, in the U.S. is in buildings that size or smaller."
Which is not to say the architects didn't face any challenges.
A lot of what they wanted to do was illegal at the time, but the forward-thinking City of Seattle created a Living Building Pilot Program that Hayes said freed them from prescriptive codes as long as they could demonstrate that their building would perform better than a building "built to code."
Hayes noted another hurdle explaining that, "The only way to harvest large amounts of energy onsite inside a city is with solar photovoltaics. Seattle is probably the worst city in America for PV because we have little sun and conventional electricity is very cheap. So we designed a solar canopy that extends out beyond the walls of the building like a mortar board and paid a premium for our power."
"Comparatively easy, but difficult in real terms, was finding enough Forest Stewardship Council certified wood of the correct species to meet 100 percent of our wood needs," said Hayes. "For the largest beams, we needed to use FSC certified glulams [a type of glued laminated timber] made with non-toxic glues."
"These things, and others, were difficult for the first building. But we are making all our research available for free to anyone interested, and the legal precedents have now been set, so future buildings will be much easier—and we hope this approach to buildings will soon become commonplace."
He added that, "We intentionally set a very high bar—a building that integrated every sustainable feature we could think of. We realize that not every developer is going to immediately start building only 'living buildings.' But many will start incorporating lots of our features—especially those that provide tangible benefits to clients."
In the long run, Hayes has said that one of his objectives was to herald the beginning of a return to regionally appropriate architecture. He expanded on this saying that, "If I showed you photographs of office buildings in Phoenix, Minneapolis, and Atlanta from a hundred years ago, you would immediately know where the buildings were located. Today, they all look alike. One of them uses energy for cooling, another for heating, and the third for dehumidifying."
"As we move toward sustainable design, some of that old regional wisdom will resurface to increase comfort and saved energy. I would expect to see a new regional vernacular arise, offering great opportunities for architects to produce more interesting, diverse designs, informed by thermodynamics and constructed of innovative modern materials."
Do you think the Bullitt Center has earned its moniker as the greenest office building in the world? Tell us in the COMMENTS below.

Jai Gurudev! Thank you for this once in a lifetime opportunity.
Please tell me, how do I know if I am on the correct path in life and that I am fulfilling my purpose here?
There is something called Gut Feeling. Something deep inside you tells you, 'This is right', and when you choose it, you really feel good about it.
I tell you, doubts usually come to you when you choose the right thing.
Doubt is always about something positive. Have you noticed this? We always doubt the honesty of a person; we never doubt the dishonesty of a person.
We ask our dear one, 'Do you really love me?'
If someone tells you, 'I love you', you say, 'Really?'
But if someone says, 'I am angry at you', you never say, 'Really?'
Similarly, we always doubt our capabilities but we never doubt our incapability.
When someone asks you if you are happy, you say, 'Well, I am not sure.' But you have never said the same when you are depressed. You are so sure of your depression.
You are so sure of negativeness, but you always question the positive things in life.
So doubt also indicates that there must be something good.

We all knew. We all speculated. We all assumed. Do we care? Maybe you don't. But, new American Idol judge can't really deny the fact that her behind has been medically enhanced.

So you can see. No denying something was done right? Wow!
Don't you agree? Kim Kardashian's butt looks very similar. Maybe they went to the same Doctor. HA!

Kawit (formerly Cavite El Viejo) is a first class urban municipality in the province of Cavite, Philippines. According to the 2010 census, it has a population of 78,209 people[3] in a land area of 22.86 square kilometers.
Kawit is the birthplace of Emilio Aguinaldo, the first president of the Republic of the Philippines. It is also the location of his home, the Aguinaldo Shrine, where independence from Spain was declared on June 12, 1898.
The name Kawit is derived from the Tagalog word kawit (hook) which is suggestive of its location at the base of a hookshaped shoreline along Manila Bay extending to the tip of Cavite City.
Legend, however, gives another version on how the town got its name. One day a Spanish visitor asked a native blacksmith about the name of the village. The latter was busy at the time pounding on the anvil a piece of hot metal that looked like a hook. He hesitated to speak, not understanding what the stranger was asking, but when pressed for an answer, and thinking that he wanted to know what he was doing, he merely said kawit (hook). The Spaniards left muttering the word kawit. In the course of the time the word kawit evolved into "cauite," and finally "cavite".
Kawit was the most thriving settlement prior to the coming of the Spaniards. In fact, the town provided the first anchorage of the Spaniards in the province, whence colonization and proselytization of the Christian religion began, spreading to all corners of the province.
For a long time, the place was called by the Spaniards "Cavite el Viejo" or Old Cavite to distinguish it from "Cavite la Punta" or "Cavite el Puerto," the commercial port and naval base (now Cavite City) whence came many Spanish marines on shore leave who made frequent visits to Cavite el Viejo, eventually turning it into a red light district. The bad reputation of the place, however, was completely wiped out when it was placed under the spiritual supervision of the Jesuits during the administration of Manila Archbishop Miguel Garcia Serrano (1618–1629) by placing St. Mary Magdalene as Patron saint of the town.
In the barrio of Binakayan, where the Aglipayan Church is located since 1902, in honor of Saint Michael, the Archangel.
Cavite el Viejo was then a big town, comprising the municipality of Kawit today, Cavite la Punta (now Cavite City), Noveleta (called Tierra Alta by the Spaniards), and Imus. Eventually, these three barrios seceded as their population grew and became independent municipalities.
Kawit is politically subdivided into 23 barangays.[2]
- Batong Dalig
- Balsahan-Bisita
- Binakayan-Aplaya
- Binakayan-Kanluran

Maytinis Festival[edit]
An original Kawit tradition that takes place every Christmas Eve, a dramatic retelling of the Virgin Mary and Joseph's search in bethlehem for a place to stay called "Panunuluyan". This reenactment happens on the streets of Kawit with different floats depicting different biblical scenes from Adam and Eve up to Mary and Joseph. The "Panunuluyan" takes place in several houses and is done in singing until it reaches the 300 year old St. Mary Magdalene Church of Kawit where the Virgin Mary and Joseph are welcomed by angels in a giant "belen" (Nativity Scene) which covers the whole Retablo or Altar of the church. The songs performed by the angels acted by little girls are mostly in Spanish and Tagalog.
Like any other Philippine municipality, Kawit is headed by a municipal mayor, vice mayor, and ten councilors, eight of them elected at large by the voting populace and two of them being sectoral representatives (one for the barangays and one for the youth, elected respectively through their federations).
The current mayor of the historical town is Reynaldo "Tik" Aguinaldo, who was elevated to the mayorship after three terms as vice mayor. The scion of the first Philippine president has twice (2007 and 2010) beaten Federico "Hit" Poblete, another descendant of Emilio Aguinaldo (youngest son of Maria Aguinaldo y Poblete: one of General Emilio Aguinaldo's daughters), Poblete served a total of five terms as its chief executive. [Poblete used to be an undersecretary for the Department of Agrarian Reform under the Estrada administration after his first three terms as mayor (1988–1998).]

"We are, in essence, temporarily converting mice from warm-blooded to cold-blooded creatures, which is exactly the same thing that happens naturally when mammals hibernate," said lead investigator Mark Roth, Ph.D., whose findings will be published in the April 22 issue of Science.
"We think this may be a latent ability that all mammals have -- potentially even humans -- and we're just harnessing it and turning it on and off, inducing a state of hibernation on demand," said Roth, a member of Fred Hutchinson's Basic Sciences Division.
During a hibernation-like state, cellular activity slows to a near standstill, which reduces dramatically an organism's need for oxygen. If such temporary metabolic inactivity ?and subsequent freedom from oxygen dependence ?could be replicated in humans, it could help buy time for critically ill patients on organ-transplant lists and in operating rooms, ERs and battlefields, Roth said.
"Manipulating this metabolic mechanism for clinical benefit potentially could revolutionize treatment for a host of human ills related to ischemia, or damage to living tissue from lack of oxygen," said Roth, also an affiliate professor of biochemistry at the University of Washington School of Medicine.
Collaborators on the research included first author Eric Blackstone, a graduate research assistant in Roth's laboratory and a member of the joint Fred Hutchinson/University of Washington Molecular and Cellular Biology Program; and co-author Mike Morrison, Ph.D., a staff scientist in Roth's lab.
Clinical applications of induced metabolic hibernation could include t

Know and Love
When a loved one constantly disappoints you time and time again: a friend, parent, sibling, spouse; someone you have in your life that you can't exactly ditch, a profound fact about this relationship is that it can be cured. Not in the way we think it should be, but in a new way that allows us to protect ourselves, stay happy, loving, supportive and still keep them in our lives in a way that rewards us. It's one of the toughest things to do but it's also hugely rewarding: to accept people as they are, on their own terms, and let go of our expectations.
One thing I realized about myself late in life was that I constantly set myself up to be disappointed by loved ones, not because my expectations were necessarily unrealistic or outlandish, but because I always had distinct ideas of what I thought they should do to be loving. Whatever we want people to want has very little to do with what they want in reality. Most have no idea what is going on another person's head, so how could we blame another for our disappointment and perceived lack of care or love or whatever else we might feel motivates their actions? I remind myself of this every day because I catch myself setting up expectations around what I think others will do. For example, if a person doesn't call you back in a timely manner your perception might be that they don't care about you or respect you. Their perception might be: I should probably do laundry soon, I'm out of underwear. Meaning, the least likely scenario is that they don't love or respect you, the most likely is that they are clueless to this social expectation or they don't perceive it to be meaningful in the way that you do. *An exception to this example would be that they really do wish to hurt you by not calling, in which case that would be manipulative and you should not keep them as a friend. You'll know soon enough because they usually manipulate in other ways, as well.
Even those who have a brilliant insight into humanity, who are sensitive and adept at understanding how others feel or think, should not fall into this trap. Your expectations and wants still have nothing to do with how another person sees the world, and as soon as you try to make them see it your way, you won't be accepting them as they are. You'll be attempting to change them. What happens over time if people are boxed into behaving as something they are not is that they grow resentful and unhappy – something that you would never wish for anyone you cared about. Unmet needs in any relationship only create a void, causing people to blame one another for their discontent.
A common conflict in a friendship is when one person is upset and saying, "They should have done this." At the same time, the other person is also upset and saying, "They should have done that." Both have totally valid feelings based on their own terms, but both leave out the part where everyone has their own values. Simple communication will solve a problem like this, but when it comes to the bigger, deeper needs, it can take years to truly accept and understand someone despite the way you wish they were.
One example is a loved one that is incapable of changing something that is extremely hurtful to you, whether they're abusive or ill or just completely insensitive. Maybe this person has done something completely unforgivable by all measures. Even then there is a way to accept them as they are so that you can have a relationship with them. It will not be the relationship you thought you wanted, it will be a new one that incorporates into it who they really are. It will almost be like you're getting to know them for the first time: them minus you. Despite the sadness of having to let go of what you wished they would be or could be, what you will get back in return is having that person in your life in a way that will reward you. You will grow to know that they care about you in their own way, and you won't be hurt or disappointed by them anymore. This is the ideal – much harder to achieve when you're still in a painful place.
When you stop to separate yourself and your expectations from another person and their actions, you feel a great amount of relief at the very least. It also can allow you to see if this person and who they are is not someone you want in your life. The best scenario is that your acceptance of them and their differences allows you to know them and love them still, in a way that allows both of you to stay true to yourselves.
I hope you all have a warm and dry Sunday with a delicious breakfast! xox Sarah

Birth Abroad
The U.S. Embassy in Djibouti strongly encourages all U.S. citizens who have children born in its consular district to report the birth as soon as possible. Children born abroad to U.S. citizen parents may have a claim to U.S. citizenship.
To document your child, you must file an application for a Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA). This will serve as an official record confirming that the child acquired U.S. citizenship at birth. Your child must appear in person. It is not possible to obtain a CRBA for a child over the age of 18. It is not necessary for the U.S. citizen parent to appear at the embassy, however if the parent does not appear, all application documents must be notarized by a U.S. notary.
- Payment for CRBA processing must be made in cash. Both U.S. Dollars and Djiboutian Francs are accepted.
- We do not have mail-in/mail-out services. All applicants must apply in person for CRBAs.
Process to obtain a CRBA for your child
1. Before contacting the Consular Section, please review the Bureau of Consular Affairs' Department of State guidance.
2. Review the Djiboutian Consular section check list.
3. Schedule an appointment by sending an email to email@example.com.
Note – Due to the prevalence of fraudulent documents, the Consular Officer may suggest, in addition to documents submitted, a DNA test between the child and the U.S. citizen parent(s).
Warning: We do not accept privately conducted DNA tests. All tests must be completed with written guidance from U.S. Embassy Djibouti Consular Section.

YUKON — Members of the class of 2014 at Southwest Covenant Schools have embarked on their senior year, seeking academic honors and college scholarships. Their immediate predecessors left them a high standard to meet.
Private Yukon school produces five National Merit Scholars
Five members of the most recent graduating class from the private, Christian-based school are launching their college careers with one of the most coveted prizes in academia: a National Merit Scholarship.
The five scholarship awards might be considered even more amazing in light of the total number of May graduates at the school: 21.
Southwest Covenant has had an impressive academic history with some of the highest average ACT scores in Oklahoma, said headmaster Steve Lessman, whose son was one of the National Merit Scholarship winners.
"It was quite a shock last fall when these five young men were named National Merit semifinalists," he said.
To have all five move on to become finalists, then National Merit Scholarship winners was even more exciting.
Seth Brown, James Burton, Trevor Carmack, Christian Hagan and Garrett Lessman were named finalists in January. In June, they were announced as National Merit Scholars, the top prize of the competition.
"It's a big deal," said Susie Nix, academic services coordinator at the school for the past 13 years and a close follower of the winners' academic careers.
According to its website, the National Merit Scholarship Program is a privately funded academic competition that annually awards scholarships to less than 1 percent of the more than 1.5 million students who enter the competition.
Outstanding class
All members of the class performed well throughout their careers at Southwest Covenant, Nix said. "They are just a good academic bunch."
Nix said two additional class members also were National Merit semifinalists and have gone on to college with high honors. The 21-member class made an average score of 28.3 on the ACT, Nix said.
Steve Lessman said the 2013 senior class as a whole received more than $1 million in scholarship aid.
"They've had good teaching and a rigorous curriculum," Nix said, "but they have challenged each other. They motivate one another. I can't say I was surprised. It will be interesting to see what God does with these young men."

INSTANT POEM for A YELLOW MELLOW TOMORROW
to be shared quite urgently
by azly rahman
I told you already
of the fate of this country
that has moved so fast
and now we have another BERSIH rally
yellow mellow what will it be like tomorrow?
we all won't know until we wear yellow
I have advised the country already
to go to the national square and treat it like a samba party
why aggravate the authorities when they too wish to join in the party?
they are all lonely and want to be clean and happy
in their hearts they powers that be want to be corrupt-free
what then must we do
for a yellow mellow hot potato tomorrow?
i am into cultural parties and and sports events aplenty
so-- BERSIH people let us do things differently
wake up very early
brush your teeth and eat capati and mutton curry
get your yellow mellow -shirt and hide it in your bag together with your Rolling Stones CD
out of the house you shall march and march and march quietly
march and march on your own quietly to the station LRT
don't let anybody see your yellow tee and your lunch pack of mutton curry
the authorities will want some of it but don't give your capati to anybody
ride the LRT quietly
when folks ask you where you're going
tell them you're visiting a sick auntie
a white clean lie goes well with the spirit of a BERSIH rally
when you reach your destiny .. opps .. destination i mean seriously
wait till you see people suspiciously carrying a backpack of capati and mutton curry
these are your brothers and sisters in arms and legs and limbs aplenty
when all eyes locked in unspoken camaraderie
jump up and down and sing hip hip hooray and do a bit of funky chicken
dance to release some BERSIH energy or the Africans call it honoring the
"good chi"
mind you folks the authorities don't want you to march or rally
especially if you stiill have that capati and a plastic bag of mutton curry
but here is what the organizers can do to make it a smooth sailing sit-in party ...
Now take your yellow mellow hot potato tee
wear it with pride and unquestionable dignity
it might smell a bit of capati and mutton curry -- but what me worry?
get in groups of twenty
we will have a three hour sports and cultural party
do the samba
dance the rhumba
sing "honga honga"
do the tai chi
put away the capati
do the yoga
wear a yellow toga
perform the malay silat
be careful of the flying lalats
do the breakdance
make sure those over sixty just sit and watch quietly if they can
sing the acapella
singing praises of the global listing of FELDA
dance the zapin
remember it doesn't go with the songs of led zeppelin
ahhaa .. don't forget the dance poco-poco
banned in perlis and 13 states more to go ...
this is the time in this yellow mellow sports and cultural sit-in rodeo
for those poor perlis folks to overdose on the poco-poco
those with a guitar or a sitar or an avatar of the sitar and sitar
sing the blues and the jazz tunes praising the beauty of perak's left and right bota
johoreans can sing the ghazal
accompanied by PERKASA performers from silat pulut sambal
pahang folks can do the joget pahang
dancers imported from telok bahang
i'd like to join the indian classical dancers
the bharat nadyam i think is a cool dance that provides life's difficult answers
ahhha ... we must not forget the shaolin dance
inspired by ancient chinese buddhist monks always in trance
yellow mellow kung fu hot potatoes
-- not that's a shaolin training laced with "Ohm-mi-to-fu" as verses fit for budding Shaolin heroes
i can go on and on and on and on
suggesting how a yellow mellow clean rally can be Malaysis'a open big samba party
so big that both the proper and improper authorities can see the beauty and possibilities of a peaceful rally
even the world's royalty can join in the yellow party
since they all wear yellow outfit daily
they will save on BERSIH yellow tee ...
Malaysians I honor and respect thee
Rallies need not be ugly
Sit-ins need not be a time to get angry
A regime change is a possibility in any democracy
A gentlemanly and lady-like act to relinquish power held for centuries
Deep in the heart of any regime
is the cry to repent from all its sins
and to take a break from doing the work of devils an djinns
Yellow mellow hot potatoes
Yellow mellow sweet potatoes
We shall all see a better tomorrow
Adios amigoes ...

Marinated Sirloin of Beef on Rocket with Chargrilled Lemon and Shaved Parmesan
Steak lovers get ready to fall in love again.
- sirloin of beef
- mild mustard
- rocket
- lemon
- parmesan
- extra virgin olive oil
- We use only dry aged sirloin of beef. Trim all of the fat and sinew from the meat, the marinade is a secret but use any kind of mild mustard to coat the meat.
- Whatever marinade you use try to leave it for as long as you can (2 days).
- Slice and serve on crisp rocket with chargrilled lemon.
- Top with shaved parmesan (use a vegetable peeler to do this) and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.

Add Date: May 1
Artist: The Maccabees
Album: Given to the Wild
Label: Polydor
Genre: Rock, alternative
Comments: Perhaps unfairly pigeonholed as a standard-issue Brit rock band in the past, The Maccabees are sure to catch the ear of audiophiles with their new LP, Given to the Wild. Claiming influences that include The Stone Roses--very noticeable--David Bowie and Kate Bush, the band enlisted the help of Tim Goldsworthy (co-owner of DFA Records) and Bruno Ellingham (LCD Soundsystem), and the rich production values flesh out these gorgeous alt-pop compositions.
And yet fans of mainstream British alternative shouldn't be turned off, either--even while experimenting with new sounds, The Maccabees retain the pop sensibilities that have drawn them comparisons to the likes of Coldplay and Doves. The entire album is worth a listen, but in particular give tracks 3, 8, 2 and 4 a spin.
