Date a Girl Who (Happens to) Travel. ~ Alexandra Wolbrum
This is a response to Don't Date a Girl Who Travels.
I have damaged hair and sun-kissed wrinkles, mosquito bite scars and burns from countless waitress jobs abroad.
Yes, my pants are from Thailand, passed down from a friend. My family thinks I've joined a cult and I want a tattoo.
I know that the thousands of people I have walked past, the people who served me at the market, drove my night buses and gave me $5 massages, could never fathom buying a lonely planet guide book and picking a random destination (because it was highly acclaimed by western voters).
That choice is a birthright given to so few and I'll never under appreciate it.
Date me for all of me—all the corners of my imagination—the nooks of my cerebral membrane and every sun kissed wrinkle. For I travel and that should make you love me; it shouldn't be why you love me and it certainty should not be why you don't.
Date me, a girl who travels: I have a degree in drama and am now a yoga instructor. Instead of playing a role, I've decided to be authentically vulnerable and follow my bliss on a different kind of stage—not an "alternative" one.
Date me, a girl who travels: I've been to 11 countries since I've left home. I could tackle any night bus, gross accommodation and inedible food that comes my way. I'm cultural but also super fun, spending my New Years drinking buckets under the full moon. I'm versatile, easy going and resourceful. You can practically take me anywhere.
Date me, a girl who travels: I seek perspective not solitude. I travel to feed my eyes, not my ego.
Date me, a girl who travels: I'm outgoing and thus have friends from all over the globe. I've just saved us heaps (Australian slang for a lot) of money on accommodations in at least 30 countries!
Date me, a girl who travels: I will embrace your love with open arms. I didn't travel to find you but it undoubtedly led my path to yours.
Date me, a girl who travels: I didn't travel to fill a hole or because I was lost. I travel because I lost the ability to be myself. My judgment was clouded and my priorities weren't in order. I needed a dose of reality, not a hint of fantasy.
Date me, a girl who travels: My phone is Nokia (no model) and my iphone (4s) was stolen in Malaysia—an experience I took as a lesson and not a curse. Materialism is so yesterday.
Date me, a girl who travels: I don't care if you're an adventurous eater or want white pasta every night. My travels have taken me on cultural expeditions of the taste buds and senses. I've explored the depths of the spice trade, dabbled in the art of chili, but I will never crave exotic food experiences. Traveling has taught me to value every single meal I have and to know that a choice of what to eat is a beautiful, rare gift for the majority of the world's population.
Date me, a girl who travels: It has been internationally acclaimed that I am a great lover. Your investment has been tested, tried and proven successful in at least eight countries.
Date me, a girl who travels: Though I come from a society which has a 50 percent divorce rate, I believe in true love. I've seen it in the face of the most unimaginable adversity—love that can light up the sky and can create hope in the most hopeless of places.
Date me, a girl who travels: I'll never fight with you about taking up the whole bed. After sleeping three in a full, fighting off bed bugs and creepy crawlers, I can handle the biggest of bed hogs.
Date me, a girl who travels: I don't want a travel partner—I have more than enough friends for that. I want a life partner, someone to share all my dreams with. Someone to cultivate my life with, not someone who I only enjoy in faraway places.
Date me, a girl who travels: I will never project my unlived life on our children, because I don't have an unlived life.
Date me, a girl who travels: I need you to have boy time. I want you to go travel with your friends. My travels have proven that love has nothing planted in the physical world and my love for you will only grow with each second apart.
Date me, a girl who travels: Because I believe the adventure is in the journey not the destination.
Date me, a girl who travels: I won't try to make you a vegetarian (yes, a life choice I've made while traveling, how did you guess?) You don't have to do yoga or care about Nicholas Kristof, as long as you do care about something whether it's fantasy football, microfinance or surfing. Do it with integrity and love and I'll be turned on for a lifetime.
I don't need someone who acts like me; if I did I certainly would never have traveled. I do want someone who thinks like me; in bright colors, expansive horizons with an interesting perspective with faith and love.
Date me, a girl who travels: My exes live in other countries.
Date me, a girl who travels: Let's ride bikes. Not because I'm sustainable (which I am) but to live longer. I want to spend more time on this earth with you. I want that panoramic view that only two wheels and two feet can give.
Date me, a girl who travels: Because the sun rising everyday amazes me and the moon's power silences me. I don't need the perfect sunset to show me that, or even the clearest sky. I would never replace my sunsets abroad but I would rather have un-spectacular ones with you.
Date me, a girl who travels: I live in the present moment. I embrace the past and welcome the future.
Date me, a girl who travels: I'll be your cheerleader. I'll hold your towel at the end of a marathon and be right beside you at your favorite band's tribute concert and your annoying boss' 50th birthday party. Because getting to be a part of your happiness and unhappiness will inspire me to keep making you and others happy.
Date me, a girl who travels: I will never get mad at you for forgetting to flush the toilet. I know my toilet is my sacred privilege and it saves water anyway.
Date me because I'm a girl who travels. I've been given more than stamps on a passport and scars with stories. I've been given the art of patience and learned the importance of respect. I've had glimpses into realities unlike my own. I am like a bird, flying to distant shores, interacting with new creatures that on the outside appear strange and talk different, but in action speak exactly the same. They speak a language that for so long my soul had forgotten—the language of love, of gratitude, faith and kindness to all life's living things.
That is why I have traveled. So that one day, when I found you, I would know how to love you genuinely, with no profit or personal gain. I would love you from the deepest most vulnerable parts of my heart. Because I saw people with nothing (in a monetary sense) give love in such a magnitude that it created abundance in places that felt cold with despair, and which were warmed with effortless love.
So hurry up and date me because this world traveler doesn't stay single for long. Not because I'm running away, but because I'm willing to let someone make me stay.

Way to go, traveling girl! That's my idea of lexiring Life to the fullest and so heart fully expressed. Hope you find your true love soon!
thanks Myriam hope you are living life to the fullest!
Welcome to Australia AJ
I read this and tingled all over. I'm a 50 year young Aussie girl that has travelled extensively…and still do. I'm off to America in April to meet a 'boy' man who is as passionate about life as I. Wish me happy-go-lucky travels
I also "believe the adventure is in the journey not the destination."
And one of my favourite travel quotes: "Not all who wander are lost." – JRR Tolkien …though I do love 'getting lost' to allow synchronicity to find me.
Great read
Thank you Linylle,
I hope you find your boy in America! But I assume with your lively spirit it won't be very hard! Safe travels and thank you for your support!
Great article! Bravo! Travel really does widen one's perspective and open one's heart. It is full of surprises and increases appreciation of this so varied world.
Question: Have you been to New Zealand? It's paradise!–from the northern white or black sand beaches to the southern island where you can swim with the dolphins while still seeing snow capped mountains!
Hi Linda!
I have not been to New Zealand yet! Hopefully soon. The people that I have met from there are such beautiful people they must come from a really wonderful place! Are you from NZ? if so you must give me some recommendations!! thank you for your beautiful thoughts!
Beautiful. Brava!
thank you Dearbhla!
So beautiful!

OSU-OKC Farmers Market returns better than ever
"You have to put some effort into marketing and promoting the things you grow. Then there's the business side of it — knowing how to make a profit takes a lot."
The Crows also have a variety of their produce canned and frozen available year round and at the Saturday market.
I so enjoy visiting with the growers, asking about their favorite ways to prepare and cook the foods they grow.
Lita Leatherwood sent me home with some of their fresh dug Yukon Gold potatoes and onions, reminding me how good they are sliced up and fried together.
Just ask her about to prepare some of the beautiful Asian vegetables they grow.
I couldn't wait to get home and fry up a couple of gorgeous green tomatoes they had.
Wayne Jesco, of W-Bar-M Sheep and Wool, says their farm is a whole family operation from three farms in Yukon, Mustang and the Marlow/Bray area where they grow melons.
He, his parents, brother and family bring eggs, produce and often other things like 25 flats of Stilwell strawberries he transported for the Saturday market last weekend or designer-quality wool hats created from the Oklahoma sheep thriving on their Mustang farm.
Jesco had fresh-shelled peas for the Wednesday grand opening when the fields were too wet to work.
I find there is always something new to discover at a farmers market. The Wednesday grand opening at OSU-OKC included a baby kangaroo on hand in the new petting zoo.
Cheryl Camp, the market's manager, said they have some event or activity planned for almost all the markets this summer. It's a good reason to bring along the whole family. It's so wonderful to involve the next generation.
Speaking of the next generation, J.B. Pratt does a great job of inspiring interest in creating and offering a variety of wholesome Oklahoma-grown chemical-free foods. Products from across the state populate the shelves of the Wednesday market. On Saturday the offerings expand with even more creations from heat-and-eat foods like pizza rounds made with local whole-wheat flour, breads and baked goods, salsas and sauces.
Check their website for details: www.earthelementsfarm.com.
I found organic wheat grass from a new vendor John Faulconer ready to take home and blend. Darren Holly brought some beautiful free-range eggs from his Twisted Feather Farms in Midwest City. Soon they will have produce, fruits and berries. You could put all that fresh produce in a handmade basket from Pauline Hogan Asbury, of "Habasketry" who was on hand and making baskets right there in the market. Ask her about classes.
If I said "I'm just here for the food" at the OSU-OKC Farmers Market, I would be not telling the whole truth. I love getting to know the folks who grow your food.
They begin to feel like family. As always, it feels so good to help support Oklahomans by buying locally grown produce. These days I feel as though it is all a part of what helps keep us "Oklahoma Strong." We not only survive but thrive.
I hope to see you at the market.
Getting seasonal at the farmers market
The utility poles that snapped off are repaired and the power is back on at the OSU-OKC Farmers Market. Here are just a few of my favorite seasonal, garden-fresh vegetables I found at the market.
Dippers Sugar-snap peas, (get them before they are gone), carrots, cauliflower and broccoli make great fat-free dippers. They are really nice with
hummus, salsa or your favorite ranch dressing.
Kohlrabi Never had kohlrabi? Just snip off the stems slice and saute in a wok or skillet with a little bit of oil (canola, olive, safflower or grape seed.) Don't let the oil smoke as this creates a less healthy veggie. Sliced turnips, potatoes, onions or combinations are yummy. Or simply coat with olive oil and roast on a baking sheet in 400-degree oven.
Cauliflower Try it coated with olive oil mixed with a little melted butter then powdered turmeric and a sprinkle of garlic salt makes a nice side dish for super healthy snack. Roast on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 400 degrees on middle rack for 20 to 30 minutes.
Onions So many ways, varieties and sizes. Slice large-bulbed green onions in half lengthwise and saute with tops on, snuggle them up to a pan steak, or coat with olive oil and a little kosher salt and roast alone or with other veggies. Slice them into multi-sized rings for salads and sandwiches. Compost the peelings or put them around roses to discourage aphids. (That's an old wives' tale, but it might help.) Onions just make everything else taste so good from potatoes to pot roast.
Cabbage Cabbage is a cool one so there's not a lot of time left to enjoy it. Try my quick guacamole dressing on cabbage alone or add some
Fried green tomatoes
Beets Grate them raw over a salad, peel and slice them for a saute, steam them then transfer to a plastic bag, allow them to cool then rub away the peeling keeping the bag between your hands and the beets. The tops are full of nutrients too, so slice up the stems and leaves and saute them in oil. You can always combine the sauteed tops with the cooked sliced beets for a super side dish. You will find several colorful varieties of beets at the OSU-OKC Farmers Market.
Garlic Wrap it whole in foil and roast it in a 300-degree oven and use the cloves to flavor any and everything. You can cut off the top to open the cloves, then wrap in foil keeping it upright also if you want some ready to spread on a hot crusty baguette or toast. Mince or press cloves and add to sauces and spreads. Like its onion cousin, garlic is a real flavor enhancer.

Orchard Farm, Parwich, Nr. Ashbourne, Derbyshire, DE6 1QB
We get many beautiful dogs visiting Tom's Barn with their owners: many rescue dogs, many mongrels and many very aristocratic pedigrees. We don't as far as we know have many literate ones, so were very pleased to see that Rocky, an English Springer Spaniel who stayed recently, wrote in our Tom's Barn Visitors' book last week. You hear of Guide Dogs, Deaf Dogs but Rocky may be the only Scribe Dog we will come across.
He writes: Take me home – I need a rest! I'm on the go all day. I've been to Ashbourne, Matlock and Bakewell; my favourite was the water at Carsington. But best of all was lying in front of the log fire, me and my owners all asleep. They struggle to keep up with me – they're middle-aged, not like me!! But they haven't done too badly…A pint at the local, then food at the George and the Devonshire Arms at Beeley. It sounded like they enjoyed it.
The weather has been great for us four-legged friends Thank you for my lovely weekend – I can hardy keep my eyes open!

One Response to "Inside Golf Digital – April 2011"
i would just like to say on page 6 then 'possible handicap solutions' is one of the best idea's i have seen.
After reading the article from the later pages about the problems occuring with the system this readers idea is fantastic…
i mean really.. 48 points in stableford needs to be stopped…
As a low marker (+1) this means i have to shoot 14 under par to have a chance.. i thought handicaps were there to make it even for ALL players??
His idea of
A grade using 10 best rounds of 20
B grade using 7 best rounds of 20
C grade using 4 best rounds of 20
is a great idea and something i think would be easily introduced on golflink.
Keeping in mind the USGA system we are using currently is designed for STROKE rounds not par and stableford, which makes this system in australia unfair as the higher handicappers pick up and only lose a minor point/shot for a hole that could cost 4-5-6-7 shots above what they would have scored.
An example of this was last weekend where i was fortunate enough to eagle the first hole (par 5) where as my playing partner off 22 ended the same hole with a 9. In stroke he is penalised for bad shots.. in stableford he loses 2 points.. instead of 6 shots.. work this over a round and the results are very different…
Take a good look at your club since the system change, how many events are won by lower markers (under 5 handicap) and what have the winning scores been in stableford… or to put it another way.. how would you feel shooting 8 under 64 off +1 to lose to a 22 marker playing to 12 and shooting a net 62??? do you really think thats a fair system???

Austrian cardinal plans to meet with dissident priests
Catholic World News - July 14, 2011
Vienna's Cardinal Christoph Schönborn plans to meet with a group of dissident Austrian priests in several weeks, according to a spokesman for the Vienna archdiocese. Cardinal Schönborn said that he was shocked by the open defiance of Church authority in the public statement by 300 priests who joined in a "Call to Disobedience" released in June. But his spokesman said that neither the cardinal nor any other Austrian bishop had discussed disciplinary action against the priests.
The cardinal will meet late in August, or possibly in September, with representatives of the dissident group, the spokesman said.

He's not wrong.
The Internet cried foul this past summer when Moon Bloodgood's topless scene was cut from the theatrical version of Terminator: Salvation (UK Title: Terminator: Sorry Chaps, No Titties). Now with the upcoming December 1st release of the unrated Director's Cut DVD, a clip of the scene has found it's way online. And as you can see from the video the result is underwhelming. Hard to believe that Warner's would have to cut this in order to get the PG-13 rating. I could understand if there were a lurid trampoline sequence but this is hardly anything. Then again, I'm pretty desensitized. That's right. I've heard DOZENS of stories about what boobs look like and someday I hope to see some for myself. Some day. (**single sad tear rolls down cheek**)
By Afrim, sole member of the Albanian Guard Hello, United States, for one time again. Is Afrim. Is you remember me? I tell you about movie Angels plus Demons. I back in internet café in Baltimore. I is having problems with travel visa and immigration police tell me I can no go back to Albania. Is okay, I have good bed for sleeping at house of my cousin Fatbardha. Is better than box of wood that I am sleeping in Tirana! Is kidding! I has very comfortable mule for sleeping.
The '09 summer movies have already begun to arrive, but still to come are some of the biggest, baddest, FX-iest movies around. For robot fans, you can look no further than three of the biggest releases this summer: Terminator Salvation, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and (if it sticks to the cartoon's use of robot drones to satisfy the ratings board) G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra. [No, colons are not movie code for "Robot Plot."] Robots are on the A-List now, but they didn't always have it so good. Here are five cinematic robots that just didn't work (as they were intended): T-800 from Terminator Program: Kill Sarah Connor, period.
Not since the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' "Coming Out of Their Shells" Tour has Pizza Hut delivered such a powerhouse promotional tie in. Today, on the 'Hut's website, those bros at Warners posted a new 5-minute Terminator Salvation featurette that shows you the anatomy of a scene in which Kyle Reese (Anton Yelchin) and Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington) blow the ever loving crap out of a combo 7-Eleven/Gas Station (and probably all the Terminator Salvation promotional Slurpee crazy straws within it). The best part is the interview with Special Effects Supervisor Michael Meinardus, who's supporting himself on crutches. The dude looks like he injured himself jumping off his Harley to punch a T-800 in its exo-skull. Check out the insightful and ass-kicking sequence – brought to you by Pizza Hut – after the jump.

Considering the time it came out, Diablo was the direct responsible for a lot of games that showed up to this day.
Even though technically outdated, it's superb story and music still inspires a lot of fans around the world.
Almost 15 years after, with it's overannounced third sequel as stillborn, this game has grown to be a huge cult classic.

Greatest GAME OF ALL HACK&SLASH games, AND the mother to that same genre

aaa.. fresh meat

I found some time to write, so I`ll do my review for Blizzard North`s debut game Diablo...
First of all the gameplay is good for it`s time. Diablo brought something really new to the RPG genre and that`s real-time combat in point and click style.
The game has a lot of enemies, items and sadly few quests. The thing that makes it interesting is that whole game is random and when you restart you will always come across new enemies to kill and new items to obtain.
The game has a hub system which allows player to travel back and forth between levels that are connected to one main hub, interesting is that player can open a new exit in one level to travel back into a main hub. The pain is that there can be only one gateway open and man there are just 16 levels in the whole game, that`s short.
Now about graphics. Engine allows coloring certain parts of sprites which makes several enemies able to share same sprites but to look different, and sprites themselves are well done made.
Graphics are really good, textures are well drawn, sprites well made. The game has that satanic image that Doom 2 has. Pentagrams, mutilated bodies, red light, dark ambiance, etc.
Speaking of ambiance, sound quality is pretty good. And music really brings that feel of evil lurking and waiting for you...
Diablo has CD music, which is in really good quality.
Now about Multi-player, this is the first game that came with Battle.net and plus game is outside of Blizzard Entertainment. The problem is that very few people had internet in that time.
About the replay value, now game has a lot of random stuff in it. And you have 3 different classes to choose. Each with different play-style. That adds to a replay value of the game.
Simply put, go out and buy the game... It`s old and good. You won`t regret it.

Design and Control of a Quadruped Robot Walking in Unstructured Terrain
In: IEEE, conference on Control Applications (CCA) 2004
Institute of Mechatronics University of Duisburg-Essen D-47057 Duisburg, Germany (2004)
Buchaufsatz / Kapitel / Fach: Maschinenbau
All quadrupeds have to deal with the same challenge of motion generation. Here, a general architecture of a motion generator for statically stable gaits is proposed, and, because of its modular structure, it can be easily adapted to the needs of various four legged walking machines. Encapsulated modules are arranged in a hierarchical structure, where each one carries out a certain task and communicates with the connected modules. The structure can be divided into four main parts: interface to the robot, motion generation, model-based controller and sensor data processing, which uses fuzzy inference to carry out the obstacle avoidance task.

A Chat with Lennon Parham and Jessica St. Clair – Your New 'Best Friends Forever'!
Don't be jealous, but Lennon Parham and Jessica St. Clair are my new best friends. I mean, we totally talked on the phone for like, 45 minutes yesterday about Downton Abbey and… you know, other stuff. We definitely bonded for life and are probably going to get one of those gold heart necklaces that break down the middle, except since there's three of us, we'll have to get one that splits three ways, and those are really hard to find.
In all seriousness, you're in luck: Lennon and Jessica are ready to be best friends with the world. If you haven't watched NBC's newest comedy Best Friends Forever yet, you should probably do that now. Well, when you finish reading this, anyway. Starring the ladies as exaggerated versions of themselves, BFF sees "Jess" move back in with "Lennon" after her divorce and explores the bond between the women – with the added fun and occasional complication of Lennon's live-in boyfriend, Joe. It's funny, it's honest and most of all, it's how real best friends talk!
I caught up with Lennon and Jessica yesterday to chat about the show and was amazed to see that their on-screen friendship is totally the same in real life. They finish each other's sentences and bounce ideas off one another in a way that's fascinating to see – and totally reminded me of my own other half.
First, let's talk a little bit about your writing process for those who might not be familiar with your approach – it's pretty unique.
Lennon: "Usually we conceive a story in the room with our writers, but as far as the scenes go, we improvise the scenes in our tiny little room and record ourselves in Garage Band."
Jessica: "We play all the parts. If there are 5 people in the scene, we're schizophrenic and do all of them while we're recording ourselves."
Lennon: "Then we transcribe it. We do the scene multiple times, writing them as we improvise and picking out what works."
Jessica: "So we transcribe them, then pick a first draft from the things we like most."
Do you include a lot of ad-libbing while filming?
Lennon: "The buttons do, for the end of scenes."
Jessica: "The thing that is great about improvising the script is that by the time we film, the best bits are already in there, so we don't waste too much time trying to find the funny moments. Let's say that in the script we had a button that isn't really hitting when we're acting it out – then we can improvise to find an ending. In episode 5, we were just really tired when we were shooting so we did a long run about what it was like to be in Europe in the '90s and that ended up being our favourite part of the season."
Lennon: "It was the last thing we were shooting and we were trying to make the crew life, so it got pretty dark."
How does your improv background affect the show? Do you think that differentiates it from other comedies?
Jessica: "What we really wanted to do with BFF was to cash in on the way real girls talk to each other, not the TV way where everyone's got their s**t together, but the real way. We talk in shorthand, we reference movies, we have nicknames for people based on our shared experiences. The only way Lennon and I could tap into that was by recording how we talked to each other. We've spent about 15 hours a day around each other for the past 4 years, so we have a certain language that's unique to us, but at the same time, I think when girls watch it they think, 'That reminds me of me and my best friend'."
Lennon: "The way you overlap each other or finish each other's sentences, or how you have turns of phrases… that sort of thing was important. It wasn't just about jokes, either. And also, for the relationship between Lennon and Joe, we wanted to capture a real relationship where they love each other and love each other's weird stuff so that it's not just like a naggy wife scenario."
Jessica: "Anthony King, who used to be the artistic director at UCB, was on our writing staff, so a lot of times we had him in to play certain guy parts with us, which was fun. Lennon generally plays male parts 'cos she just really finds it easy to get into the mind of a man."
Lennon: "I don't know why I have easy access to the heart of a true gentleman, but I do!"
Jessica: "Literally, I would start blushing and she'd be like, 'Jessica, it's Lennon.' I'd be like, 'Why did a man never say this to me when I was single?' I get like a blushing school girl."
You've gotta own your inner gentleman, Lennnon.
Lennon: "I do! A little too much."
Jessica: "By the way, there's a kiss in episode 6 between Lennon and I because I need to demonstrate on her face so she can tell me what it means. And I have to say that Lennon has the softest lips I have ever felt. It's like the underside of a baby chick. Lennon had to tell me not to fall in love with her because it would be dangerous."
I hope you feel comfortable going on record with that.
Jessica: "I do! I'll say it to anyone who will listen!"
To what degree are you just playing yourselves on the show?
Lennon: "The way we handle situations is definitely us. Circumstances are not and we definitely heighten life. We heighten how bossy Jessica is or the degree to which she spirals into anxiety. For Lennon, Lennon the writer would not put up as much s**t as she puts up with. I tell you immediately when you cross the line. I'm not as conflict-avoidant as Lennon of the show. I'm playing a more caretaking role, but that's the dynamic – I'm the balance between these two polar opposites."
Clearly things have to be heightened, but what do you make of these other versions of yourself? Do you find that fun to play up, or is it kind of horrifying?
Jessica: "One of the reasons I didn't want to read reviews is because I didn't want to see anything negative about 'Jessica' because I would take it personally and feel like it was a personal attack, but it's just a character. Sometimes we have to remind ourselves that this is not who we really are."
Lennon: "And the creation of the character of Jessica is as much her as it is me. I had input on who I thought this woman was, and vice versa for the character of Lennon, as well. I think the whole show is so very clearly the stories and the situations that we wanted to tell that it's harder to draw a line between – "
Jessica: " – us and the show. In order for men or women to connect to it, we wanted it to come from a really real place. We really brought ourselves out."
Lennon: "There are moments in the show when it gets dark and tearful and we're like, 'Who the f**k wrote this? What are we doing? Comedy isn't supposed to be like this!' But I think the moments that are funny are funnier because you go to a dark place. It's like improv, they always say to ground it – what's funny is truth. As for what I've learned from the character of Lennon, I like myself. That's a terrible thing to say…"
Jessica: "That's because Lennon's an only child. I would have a very different answer."
Lennon: "I've learned in the show that it's better to be up front and and not tiptoe around. It causes all kinds of messes in your life when you're not honest and you try not to hurt people's feelings. I do that in my real life but at the end of the day, it's not good for anybody. There's also a part of Lennon that's very controlling that I very much connect to. She thinks that she knows better for other people so she tries to control it so that no one gets hurt. I do that as well in my real life, and again, not a good idea. Ends in a mess!"
Jessica: "I feel like it was almost therapeutic to write this version of Jessica, where her faults kind of led her to this – I don't know if you'd call it a midlife crisis, but a quarter to midlife crisis. All the things that Jessica has gone through, I've gone through at some point in my life, so it was easy to act. Not a divorce, but a break-up, acting poorly – these are all things I've struggled with. Luckily, I feel like there's something about getting older where you feel like, oh, I've passed that stage so it's fun to look back on and laugh at."
Let's talk about Queenetta – already a fan favourite! Where did she come from?
Lennon: "I taught high school French in the Mississippi Delta for two years and I had a student named Queenetta. She was different in that she was an older girl, but she was very talented and precocious. Also, we were thinking about Brooklyn. As you well know, people are always up in your business. Everyone from the coffee shop guy to the women doing your laundry -"
Jessica: "- weigh in on your life choices."
Lennon: "Right, and tell you what you should or shouldn't be wearing or eating or drinking or saying."
Jessica: "You'll be standing there and some little girl will be there like Queenetta, giving you a once over and you think, 'Oh, you're right, I shouldn't be wearing these pants.'"
Lennon: "There's always a kernel of truth so in that way, Brooklyn is its own character. And living there on top of each other, it's always like you're intertwined. So we wanted a representation of that."
Jessica: "And we had a hard time finding a Queenetta, a real Brooklyn girl. All the girls we saw at first came in and were so stunning and polished and Hollywood. At one point I thought we were going to have to go to New York and find someone 'cos I didn't think we could find that kind of attitude. Then we put out a public breakdown and we got Daija Owens's headshot and she had her head in pigtails and this sassy look on her face, so I knew I had to see her. She came in and pretended she was shy, which was a total lie, and then she let it rip as Queenetta and I fell off the couch and was punching the ground from laughing so hard."
Lennon: "Yes, she has perfect timing. She talks about Queenetta with elegance, like Meryl Streep. It's insane – she's in her own little world."
Jessica: "She's 8 years old. Also, all of the buttons with Queenetta, she has improvised. She knows how, which is crazy. I don't know how she does it! The other day I said, 'Daija, do you want to see the new car I got?' and she's like, 'What did you buy that with, your good looks?' She's just so funny!"
Lennon: "Already at 8, she has better timing than the rest of us and we don't know why. Also, she loves being there and she loves us, as well, so it's a real love fest whenever she's around. She eats lunch with us and is really the best."
Why did you decide to shoot in LA over New York?
Lennon: "It was a financial thing because being here to shoot indoors was cheaper. Then we shot our exteriors in New York. We were there for four days and shot all of the Brooklyn exteriors there so that it would feel real."
Jessica: "Because we had an order of six and it was mid-season, we were able to shoot like a movie. We shot everything out of order so we could do everything in one trip."
Clearly this entire show is your creation, but how much control over the production at large have you still got?
Lennon: "I would say a much greater percentage than a lot of people do. Literally, we don't get into the nitty gritty of every financial piece. We weren't combing the budget…"
Jessica: "But that's the only thing we're not looking at!"
Lennon: "We hired the people who are combing the budget. Every single person we hired, we met them and if we didn't, we sat down with the person who did hire them. We chose the wallpaper on the set…"
Jessica: "Even before we started, Lennon and I were ripping pages out of of Domino magazine and we brought them these clips saying, we want this to be our dream apartment and I think it was a bit scary for them."
Lennon: "We've hired a lot of people who are really patient and are really respectful of our vision, which is great because I think you can get your feelings stepped on when you're good at your job and then someone comes in and tries to tell you how to do it. But there was a lot of collaboration because we have a lot of specific ideas. We had in mind down to the shoe we wanted Jessica to wear in episode 6, for example. "
Is there more tension to come between Jessica and Joe?
Jessica: "Well, over the six episodes, Lennon, Jessica and Joe are going to learn to live together as a family. Joe and Jessica definitely butt heads, so Lennon finds herself in the middle of them a lot. I don't have a good sense of boundaries so in episode 4. I keep opening their bedroom door without knocking because I never had to knock before. I see them in some interesting situations. I start dating again… Jessica gets there a little too soon. I don't want to give much away but where she ends up… it's an interesting place."
Lennon: "I think Jessica thought her life was going to be one way but now she has to define who she is and what she wants. As we all know, when you've gone through a bad breakup you have to confront that it's real and you have to move forward. That's the first few episodes and she ends up getting back on the horse too quickly."
Jessica: "Joe and Lennon are a new relationship so they're going through the realization of like, 'This is the person I'm going to be with forever' and they have to have tough talks, but they get through it. And between Rav and Jessica, there's a little something there…"
Lennon: "There was an old heat that was never acted on in the past."
Jessica: "Rav never thought Jessica would be single again and they're both single now, so they get to see what their new friendship is like. We call it girl porn moments, you know like Sense & Sensibility, where it's all said in a look. We wanna drag that s**t out!"
Everyone loves unresolved sexual tension!
Jessica: "Yeah, the flash of an ankle, you know what I mean?"
Definitely. Looking forward to future episodes, are there any big guests stars you'd like to have on the show?
Jessica: "We write parts for people in our minds all the time. A lot of people from UCB we're obsessed with and we have parts for them coming up. We have a piece for Jessica's Great-Aunt Abby and were toying with Carol Burnett, or like an Elaine Stritch from 30 Rock. If Bea Arthur was still alive, we'd love her. Or Betty White – any Golden Girls, we'd take."
Lennon: "We had an idea… the butcher in episode 1 was Angelo, played by Mike Starr, who has been in a ton of gangster-type movies. We don't see him again, but we wanted Jessica and Joe to get into a serious poker game on a dirty pier somewhere and it goes wrong, and then we could cast all of those out-of-work Sopranos actors that we're obsessed with. One of those pool sharks with that long ropes of hair…"
Jessica: "We're going to expand their group of friends, hopefully. We have a part for Lindsay Sloane, who we love. Joe's parents are played by Mimi Kennedy and JK Simmons, both of whom are phenomenal actors. I'd like to see Jessica's parents."
Lennon: "We had an episode in mind where Jess's parents have gone to China at the last minute and they never told her, so she had to go home with me to my Christmas, which is a down home Alabama Christmas, singing along to all the songs we know the lyrics to and Jessica and Joe are like, 'What's happening here?'"
Jess: "'Why is everything covered in denim in here?'… I also want Lennon and Joe to get engaged at some point… something beautiful, maybe in the snow, like Downton Abbey! They stole that from my mind!"
They could down a Downton reenactment!
Jess: "That engagement was so good!"
Lennon: "I don't know, but if it's Joe and Lennon, it'll happen in some weird way."
Jess: "Like a Garth Brooks cover show, Thunder Rolls or something."
Have you not watched Downton Abbey, Lennon? Am I hearing this right?
Lennon: "No, I have, but Jess blew it for me. People were catching up with this while we were finishing writing and shooting and I was wondering, how are people watching this? She had already watched it and I mentioned that I started to watch the Christmas episode and she was like, 'The engagement, right? The proposal!'"
Oh, no!
Lennon: "I wanted it, of course I wanted it."
How much are you still performing imrpov? Do you feel like the show gives you another outlet to that?
Lennon: "When we were writing and pulling 10pm and 11pm nights on a Friday, we didn't do our show. We do the Mother show at UCB LA called The Soundtrack at 9.30pm on Friday nights."
Jessica: "It feels like going to the gym but in a good way, not one that you dread and take a nap on the mats when you go there. When you don't improvise like that, you can feel it. You're not as funny."
Lennon: "Because we improvise when we write, I felt like I had that outlet, but while we were editing, I thought, we have to go. 'Cos you feel like you're purging something with improv. Then Jessica, Jason Mantzoukas Zach Woods and I entered ourselves in Cage Match out here and we did well! We had a 12-week run or something. We were called 'Skinny Businesss Will Not Apologize'. That was super, super fun. I think we just love the theatre. I wish I was doing that New York Assscat from 2008 and I'm not doing that anymore, I live here. I do Assscat here whenever I can."
Jessica: "Yeah, we love the theatre. It's fun because the improvising we do here is for work, which great, but it's fun to get on stage and play crazy characters. I love working with Lennon in front of a crowd because it gets wild and crazy."
Lennon: "We're like two teenagers who stole a baby and named it Destiny."

Lauryl Canyon
Pornstar Profile, Date added: 21 Jun 2002
Lauryl Canyon is a pornstar who was born in the Pomona, California area. She is a Leo according to the zodiac charts and has blonde hair and blue eyes. She stands 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighs about 120 pounds. Her body measurements are 34C-22-34 and she did get breast augmentation surgery to help achieve those numbers. She has no body piercings or tattoos but does have several alias names. She's been credited by the names Devon Delight, Judy Shine, Judy Taylor, Julie Shine, Lauren Canyon, Laurel Canyon, Lourel Canyon, Mandii and Suzi Q during her career. This Caucasian American girl is believed to have taken her stage name from the place in her home state of similar name.
She began working in adult movies in the year 1987 when she was in her early twenties. As she tells it, she got into the adult entertainment field by responding to a newspaper ad from World Modeling. The advertisement mentioned nude modeling and the possibility of earning up to a thousand dollars per day and she thought that sounded too good to pass up. She had been working for a title company so she waited until she had some time and went down to meet with Jim South. Her intention was to only work part time as a nude model but she ended up loving it so much that she went full time pretty quickly. Her initial thought was that it would be nude pictures but he talked her into doing a video instead and she was happy to try it.
The first film that she worked in was called "Misadventures of the Bang Gang" which was produced by Arrow Productions. Miss Canyon performs in three scenes in this film and they're all threesomes too. First she and newbie pornstar Fallon take on Dan T. Man. Next she is in an all-girl threesome with Fallon and Tiffany Storm. Finally at the end of the film she has an interracial threesome scene with Fallon and Ray Victory. She recalls that the movie was all filmed in Arizona state and that she had a really good time. Fallon was known for her pussy squirting and the movie box cover hints that something special happens when she cums. This film gave Lauryl a lot of very early exposure to the porn viewing public as well as to industry studios who took a quick interest in her.
Lauryl gave an interview during her career and spoke about her entry into the business and some more details about her personal and professional life. After she had begun performing naked in porn movies, she says that she never felt the need to inform her family. She is reported to have said that she loves her family dearly, but doesn't have a habit of asking them if she can do something and they don't ask her. After her very first sex scene she was absolutely certain that this is what she wanted to be doing with her life. The girls were so much fun to play with and the guys were great too. In addition to that, she recalls that the film set was totally professional with nobody acting like a pervert; it was just people doing their jobs. Her first film had an interracial scene and she says it was the first time she ever fucked a black man and loved it. She did many more interracial scenes during her career as well as many more lesbian and group sex scenes.
When it comes to her favorite sex partners to perform with, Ms. Canyon loves to fuck guys like Peter North and Tom Byron. Her short list of favorite female pornstars to fuck is Nina Hartley, and Alicia Monet. She always watches her own sex scenes once they are completed, explaining that she wants to see areas that she can improve on. A lot of her movies were features that contained some dialogue, even if it was not a great script. Of course she also wants to make sure that she looks good getting fucked. She notes that naturally it is a big sexual thrill for her to watch herself taking a big cock or getting her pussy licked by a woman. As for scenes that she won't do, there are really very few. She has done anal sex scenes although it's not her favorite thing all of the time. According to her, she has to be in the right mood to do it, but she does love getting a facial cumshot at the end of a scene. About that she says, "Bring it on."
Lauryl appeared early in her career in the film called "Loose Ends 4: The Ultimate Tail" which was produced by 4-Play Video. The film, which was directed by Bruce Seven, is a hardcore romp with many of the days biggest stars. She appears in two of the scenes with the first being a lesbian orgy with costars Bionca, Erica Boyer, Fallon and Viper. The girls are all together in a room dancing around and they're naked as the scene opens. Right away they get down to pussy licking, tit sucking, fingering and giving each other rim jobs too. They play with a dildo and some anal beads during the scene as well. The final scene in the movie is a big orgy with the entire cast of seven women and seven men. At one point in the hardcore group sex action, Lauryl is double penetrated and fucked in the ass. It was one of her most hardcore scenes during her early career and it's the only scene in her filmography that shows that she was double penetrated.
One of the reasons that Miss Canyon has said that she loves working in porn movies is because she knows her partners are safe to have sex with. It's much safer than having one night stands, she explains, because everyone in the industry is tested for STD's regularly. She is also able to fulfill more of her sexual fantasies. She retired from making porn movies in the year 2004 after satisfying most of those sexual fantasies. She had appeared in more than 163 titles.

Governor Pat Quinn is taking a challenge that'll force him to live on the minimum wage for a while. He made the pledge yesterday after being called out by Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky. She just wrapped up a week of living on just eleven-bucks a day. It's part of a movement designed to get more people out to the polls this fall where they can weigh in on whether the state's minimum wage should be raised to ten-bucks-an-hour. Lawmakers won't be required to change the wage no matter what voters decide.

Oakland, CA (Sports Network) - Yoenis Cespedes went 3-for-5 with four RBI as the Oakland Athletics took a 10-6 win over the LA Angels of Anaheim to wrap up a four-game set.
Brandon Moss drove in two runs while Eric Sogard had three hits, two runs scored and two RBI for the Athletics, who took the final three games of this set after dropping the opener.
Jarrod Parker lasted just five-plus innings in the start as he was roughed up for six runs on five hits and seven walks. Jesse Chavez (2-2) pitched two innings of scoreless action to get the win.
Alberto Callaspo and Howie Kendrick each drove in two runs for the Angels, who have lost six of their last eight games.
Tommy Hanson was charged with five runs on four hits and five walks in 4 2/3 innings. J.C. Gutierrez (0-2) was saddled with the loss as he gave up four runs while recording just two outs.
Before the game, the Angels placed slugger Albert Pujols on the 15-day disabled list with a partial tear of the plantar fascia in his left foot.

Happy 70th Birthday Jiffy Steamer! Jiffy� Steamer traces its roots back to 1940. Gone with the Wind was the movie and Frank Sinatra, the Voice. Franklin Delano Roosevelt was preparing to run for a third term. Most everyone of that era wore a hat. Stretching, shaping and blocking your fedora over a steaming kettle was common. This is where the idea was born - a better way to steam hats "back into shape in a jiffy." The company was organized and the Jiffy� Steamer Model J-1 was patented. John Bailey Simrell, founder of Jiffy Steamer Company, was a pioneer in the steaming industry. Those with Jiffy� Steamer knew the invention was good for more than steaming hats, so a hose attachment and steam head were added. The new Jiffy� Steamer offered a revolutionary solution to an age-old problem of the clothing industry...removing wrinkles efficiently. Our company suffered a great loss when �Mr. John� left us almost two years ago, but the family tradition carries on. Today, three generations are involved in this closely-held company. Jiffy� Steamer Company, LLC is known around the globe (over 45 foreign markets) and is backed by over 1,000 dealers in the United States alone. The dozens of Jiffy� Steamer models can be found almost everywhere-from the commercial garment trade, to residential markets, in the pages of high-end mail order catalogs, in businesses that cater to the travel industry as well as in other specialty markets. The history of the Jiffy� Steamer is filled with the promise and desire to harness the power and magic of steam. Help us celebrate our 70th year of tradition, quality and service.

Crossfall Checker v8i
Found under the Analysis menu, the Crossfall Checker offers graphical and tabular analysis of cross slopes. This Wizard is intended for proposed designs, however existing detail can be evaluated with the proper set up.
The Model and Alignment Data Panel
The Model and Alignment Data panel is used to specify the Model Name and Reference String Name along which the cross slope analysis is to be carried out. The bottom of this panel offers two methods of analysis:
Use Simple Sections
This method creates cross sections from the reference string to the closest features (left and right) of the reference string. The analysis is preformed from the reference string to these strings. Values of Width, Drop/Rise, and Cross Slope% are shown on the Superelevation Analysis panel.
Select String Names
This method requires the specification of one, two, or four strings to be used for analysis. As with the Use Simple Sections method, cross section are created and analyzed. Values of Width, Drop/Rise, and Cross Slope% are shown on the Superelevation Analysis panel.
- If one string is selected, then values are calculated from the reference string to it.
- If two strings are selected, then values are calculated between them.
- Three strings are not accepted
- If four strings are selected, then values are calculated between the first and second strings, and between the third and forth strings. These values will be displayed on the Superelevation Analysis panel, the first and second on the left side, the third and forth strings on the right.
The Preferences Panel
Accessed from the Model and Alignment Data panel, this panel provides control of:
- The creation of a superelevation report. (recommended)
- Saving of the temporary section model and the 3D to master string.
- 3D to Master String Conversion.
- Cross Section Extraction Limits.
Make adjustments to the Preferences as desired. Click Apply to return to the Model and Alignment Data panel.
The Superelevation Analysis Panel
From the Model and Alignment Data panel, select Next to advance to the Superelevation Analysis panel. This panel graphically displays the Superelevation Analysis as either a Drop/Rise or a Percentage diagram, together with the current cross section, and a plan schematic showing it's location on the reference string.
The location of the cursor on the analysis diagram influences the current station and controls the information displayed elsewhere on the panel. The station of the reference string is displayed in the center of the Cross Section display window. The MX Display simultaneously displays the location of the current station with a green cross and circle symbol.

A new business, the same old problems for a State Street property.
The citys Planning Board recommended on Tuesday granting a special-use permit to an operator of a car detailing business, but only if he repairs a fence, paves the parking lot and improves the landscaping on the property at 804 State St.
The Watertown City Council has the final say about whether the special-use permit is ultimately approved.
Stanley Layo opened S&J Auto Detailing a few months ago at the site without realizing he was required to get a special-use permit, said Kenneth A. Mix, the citys planning and community renewal coordinator.
The building most recently housed another car detailer, an auto repair shop and used car lot.
Last September, the Planning Board and council members extended the special-use permit, requiring the three businesses owners to complete the three conditions. That was never done.
City Planning Board members wanted to make sure the same situation will not happen again.
If youre going to operate, you have to do the conditions. If not, you dont operate, Mr. Mix warned the owner of the new car detailing business.
City planners blamed the problem on property owner Mark Bonner, who has refused to do the work that has been required for the property. That means the tenants have to do the work, they said. Mr. Bonner could not be reached to comment Tuesday.
Mr. Layo, who did not attend the meeting, said he has already started the work on the fence and plans to complete the landscaping, but the parking lot is something Mark Bonner is going to have to do.
In other business, the board:
n Agreed to change the zoning from Residence B to Light Industrial for a portion of the property at 473 Eastern Boulevard. Stebbins Engineering and Manufacturing Co. recently purchased the former Watertown Health & Racquet Club, 431 Eastern Blvd., and plans to convert it to a storage building for construction equipment.
n Tabled a proposal to construct a 6,000-square-foot expansion at North Country Neurology, 1340 Washington St. Dr. Abdul Latif plans to bring in two more doctors to the practice and add a sleep laboratory.

Evaluation System
Evaluation System is under constant review by the Faculty. Any of the
rules and regulations published here or in previous calendars must not
be considered inviolate; the Faculty reserves the right to change any of
these rules and regulations at any time, although in general such
changes will not come into effect in the middle of an academic year.
Faculty policy is formalized in the following .pdf document entitled "Evaluation
and Promotion in Postgraduate Training Programs".
The 2014 guidelines expire on June 30, 2015.
Faculty reserves the right to require the withdrawal at any time of any
trainee who is considered incompetent and/or unsuitable for medical
practice by the Faculty Postgraduate Promotions Committee. Progression
in a program to the next academic level, including funding, occurs if
all rotation periods during the year have been completed with
Satisfactory or higher global evaluations.
In-Training Evaluation
in-training evaluation system used in McGill postgraduate training
programs is similar to that used in the other Quebec and Canadian
medical faculties. We have moved to specialty specific forms, and are
moving towards rotation specific forms. All evaluations are completed
via the McGill Rotation Evaluation System (MRES/one45). Your Program
Director will apprise you of your program's objectives and evaluation
In-training Evaluation Reports (FITER'S) are of major importance for
both licensing and certification in a specialty or in Family Medicine.
In most provinces, a license for the practice of medicine will only be
issued after the certification of the satisfactory completion of a
residency based on in-training evaluation reports and the successful
completion of the certification examinations. The Collège des médecins
du Québec, the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and
the College of Family Physicians of Canada require satisfactory
in-training evaluations before a trainee is admitted to the
certification examinations.
In the
McGill postgraduate training programs, attending staff physicians and
surgeons or service chiefs complete a confidential Rotation In-Training
Assessment report (ITER) for each trainee at the end of each rotation.
The supervisor should discuss with the trainee his or her performance on
that particular rotation. The McGill evaluation ratings are as
"Reasonable expectations" should be appropriate to the level of training
of the candidate.
Twice a
year, the Program Director and/or the Residency Program Committee meets
with each trainee and goes over their performance in that timeframe. At
the end of the period of training, a final evaluation, which is a
summary of all in-training evaluations is sent to the Royal College or
other specialty certifying boards as requested by the trainee. The
McGill Final In-Training evaluation report is completed at the end of
training/residency via the MRES/one5 system, and will be used for
credentialing and verification purposes.
Postgrad Promotions Committee
Faculty Postgraduate Promotions Committee is a standing committee which
reports to the Associate Dean for Postgraduate Education. A primary role
of this Committee is to monitor the evaluation and promotion process,
and to ensure that residents and fellows are treated in a just and fair
manner. The Committee can review the entire record of any trainee who is
in academic difficulty. All promotion and probation decisions must be
approved by the Faculty Postgraduate Promotions Committee.
Committee will review the entire record of any trainee who has been
engaged in unprofessional, unethical, inappropriate or criminal
behaviour. It can require the withdrawal of a trainee from a training
program for academic or non-academic reasons.
Associate Dean can make and approve promotion and probation decisions as
well as suspend trainees, pending ratification by the Faculty
Postgraduate Promotions Committee. The Committee must review and approve
any decision taken by a Program Promotions Committee or by the Associate
Dean which requires the withdrawal of a trainee from a training program,
for academic or non-academic reasons.
Evaluation of the Faculty and Rotation
The evaluation of the teaching faculty and rotations by trainees is
mandatory. In order for a resident to obtain a rotation evaluation from
MRES/one45, the trainee must submit an evaluation of the supervisor(s)
and of the rotation. This information is confidential and anonymous.
It can never be accessed by supervisors, and is only made available to
the Program Director on an annual basis as an aggregate report of all
evaluations made by residents. This type of feedback is most important
in helping to continue to improve the format and quality of the
Every six
years, the McGill postgraduate medical residency programs are reviewed
and evaluated by joint committees of the Collège des médecins du Québec,
the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and the College
of Family Physicians of Canada. Such an on-site survey took place at
McGill in April 2006. It is the responsibility of the Faculty
Postgraduate Medical Education Committee and the Program Directors to
ensure that changes recommended by these joint committees are made. The
next visit is scheduled for April 2018.
Internal reviews of programs are conducted by members of the Faculty of
Medicine on an ongoing basis.

Rian David Lindell (born January 20, 1977) is a former American football placekicker. He was signed by the Dallas Cowboys as an undrafted free agent in 2000. He played college football at Washington State where he was a part of Alpha Kappa Lambda fraternity.
Early years[edit]
Lindell attended Pacific Junior High School (now Pacific Middle School) in Vancouver, Washington, Mountain View High School in Vancouver.
College career[edit]
At Washington State University, Lindell played as placekicker for the Cougars football team from 1996 to 1999. During his freshman and sophomore years, Lindell was on the same team with quarterback Ryan Leaf. Lindell played in the 1998 Rose Bowl at the end of his sophomore 1997 season. In the Rose Bowl, Washington State lost to a Michigan team that included future NFL players Brian Griese, Tom Brady (who was Griese's backup for the game) and Charles Woodson.
Professional career[edit]
Lindell was with the Seattle Seahawks for three seasons before joining the Buffalo Bills in 2003; Lindell replaced Mike Hollis, who was allowed to leave as a free agent. He was generally regarded as having a stronger but slightly less accurate leg than Hollis.
In the 2006 season, Lindell converted 23 out of 25 field goal attempts, at 92%, tied for the league. On November 26, 2006, Lindell kicked the game winning field goal against the Jacksonville Jaguars to complete Buffalo's upset over Jacksonville.
On November 11, 2007, Lindell kicked a game winning field goal to allow Buffalo to win 13-10 over the Miami Dolphins. On Sunday, December 2, 2007, Lindell kicked a game winning field goal against the Washington Redskins. Lindell was 5/5 in field goal attempts on that day. When kicking the game winning field goal, Lindell was "iced" twice by Washington head coach Joe Gibbs, which drew an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty against Washington, making the field goal 15 yards shorter.
In week 3 of the 2008 season, Lindell had a game winning field goal on the final play of the game vs. the Oakland Raiders, which allowed Buffalo to move to 3-0. Later, in week 11 of the season, Lindell missed a 47-yard field goal with 38 seconds left. As a result, the Cleveland Browns ran the clock out to secure a 29-27 victory.
On December 9, 2007, Rian Lindell set the record for the most consecutive field goals made in Buffalo Bills history. He had played in all 64 games for the Bills since 2003(until the middle of the 2011 season)and holds a Bills record with 83.04 field goal percentage.
On November 29, 2009, Lindell successfully made a 56-yard field goal against rivals Miami Dolphins. This was not only Lindell's longest field goal of his career but also tied Houston Texans' kicker Kris Brown for longest successful field goal in the league for the 2009 season, until Sebastian Janikowski made a 61-yarder in week 17.
On November 7, 2010 Lindell had an extra point blocked against the Chicago Bears, ending his streak at 321 successful extra points, an NFL record for most consecutive extra points to start a career.[1]
On September 25, 2011 Lindell booted two field goals against the Patriots, including a 28 yard game winner to give the Bills their first win in 15 games vs. the Patriots.
On November 6, 2011 Lindell injured his shoulder while trying to trip up New York Jets running back Joe McKnight. He missed the remainder of the season.[2] On February 7, 2012, the Bills announced that Lindell had agreed to a four-year contract for $10 million.[3]
On August 19, 2013, Lindell was released by the Buffalo Bills.[4]
On August 21, 2013, Lindell signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.[5]
Personal life[edit]
Lindell is married to his wife Johna. He is an avid fan of baseball's St. Louis Cardinals.[6]

I have a GE side by side model TFS28PBDA BS , serial number SZ202273 fridge.
I noticed a few days ago that the DE diagnostic light was flashing. Today, the whole fridge compartment (right side) warmed up. The freezer side is fine. I pulled the fridge away from the wall and vacuumed up. There is a fan near the bottom blowing out warm air. The freezer side makes the same noise as it always has. I hear a fan running. There is a slight fuzzy ice buid up along the back side of the freezer. I don't know how to check the freezer coii or where it is for that matter.
Thanks for reading,

Star News
Tortola resident robbed, shot in Clarendon
Andre' Williams, STAR Writer
A Tortola resident who came to Jamaica recently to wed remains in hospital after he was robbed, then chased and shot while at a house in the Old Pasley area of Palmers Cross, Clarendon, THE STAR understands.
Information reaching our news desk is that the injured man has been undergoing treatment at a hospital in the parish.
THE STAR gathered that he had been living in the British Virgin Islands for several years although he is originally from St Vincent and the Grenadines.
According to www.bvinews.com, at the time he came to Jamaica, he was employed to a supermarket.
The website also confirmed that he was in Jamaica to get married and that the incident unfolded about 8 p.m. on Tuesday, April 8.
When THE STAR contacted the Area Three police, which encompasses the parishes of St Elizabeth, Manchester and Clarendon, the incident was confirmed.
According to police reports, the man and other persons were at a house in the Old Pasley area of Palmers Cross, Clarendon, when gunmen entered and robbed him of cash and other valuables.
He allegedly attempted to escape and was shot.
He was taken to the hospital where he was admitted and is being treated.
Since the incident, several calls have been channelled to our newsroom, from seemingly concerned British Virgin Islands residents with knowledge of the incident.
The Clarendon police investigations are ongoing.

Lamborghini Gallardo
The Lamborghini Gallardo. It almost speaks for itself -- stunning, outrageously exotic looks. Overwhelming performance. And people don't just stare -- they gawk. This is the only Lamborghini available for rental in the New York area, and it's a winner in every way.
Designed to compete with the legendary Ferrari 360 Modena, Lamborghini's newest offering is a 500hp monster. The silky-smooth e.gear transmission - a 6-speed semi-automatic race-inspired gearbox -- is a dramatic improvement over its predecessors. Top speed is a blistering 202mph.
And our warning still applies: This car makes everything else on the road look boring, and its exotic look doesn't only turn heads -- it stops traffic (so be careful!)
This vehicle, like the rest of our West Coast fleet, is available for pick-up at our Los Angeles office (just off the 405) or, if you prefer, can be delivered to you at your home, office, airport, hotel, or just about anywhere you need it. We cover the entire LA metro area - including Beverly Hills, Hollywood, Santa Monica, Malibu, Orange County, and beyond. Just say the word and we'll be there with your dream car.

Security research and Europe's societal challenges: what do citizens expect? Published on: 30/03/2011, Last update: 11/10/2011
|Event date:
|Add to your calendar
EU and national officials to review with stakeholders the societal dimension to Europe's current and future security research goals.
The Security Research programme of DG Enterprise and Industry is now preparing for its next workshop – "Security research and Europe's societal challenges: what do citizens want?" – to review the ethical and social aspects of civil security research. This one-day event will take place on 8 June in Oslo in collaboration with the Research Council of Norway. A dinner will be preceding the event on the evening of 7 June.
The workshop will bring together a wide range of security research stakeholders from civil society, academia, industry and public authorities and other sectors to analyse how to best integrate the societal aspects of security research across Europe, both nationally and at EU level. It follows a first workshop on the subject hosted by DG Enterprise and Industry in June 2010.
Debate in Oslo will be split into three topics:
- Europe's achievements in societal security research
- citizen expectations and how European Security Research should meet them
- integrating societal aspects into EU security research in practical terms
Tangible results from the discussion will be used to help prepare the final annual work programme of the Security Research theme within the EU's wider 2007-2013 FP7 research budget – and to shape the Security Research theme of FP8.
Please find below further background material concerning this event, including the draft programme. More documentation will soon be available.
Participation to the workshop is free, but registration is needed. The registration is open until 3 June 2011 and can be done at the following link .
