I'll be under my desk if you're looking for me.
They moved the stones, but left the bodies. AGAIN.
Take notes, ladies.
Yes, Christopher Walken says the words "vajiggle jaggle," in case you were wondering.
Holla at yo' boi this weekend.
Exciting news for fans on 'In Bruges' and dognapping.
He's got a gun!
About time Sam Rockwell gave back to his community.
Ray Liotta is doing his Ray Liotta thing in 'Cogan's Trade'.
Richard Jenkins, from that one movie with the girl, is joining Brad Pitt and Sam Rockwell in the mob card game movie 'Cogan's Trade.'
Andrew Dominik is reaching into his 'Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford' casting bag once again.
Sam Rockwell is in final negotiations to chase Jonah Hill all around town for his cocaine in The Sitter. David Gordon Green is directing the upcoming action-comedy about a babysitter who must evade drug dealers while taking care of three kids. It's like Adventures in Babysitting with more booger sugar and less Elisabeth Shue.
JB Smoove, better known as Leon from "Curb Your Enthusiam," is also on board to play Rockwell's drug dealing partner. The script by Brian Gatewood and Alessandro Tanaka is supposed to be hilarious, and I can't imagine teaming Smoove and Rockwell together will hurt any of the scenes. The only element that might suffer is the logistics, as Jonah Hill has to run around a town all night. (ThePlaylist)
Fox Searchlight has released the trailer for Conviction, another one of those inspirational true stories that scream "Academy Award nominations all-around!" Hilary Swank plays a "high school dropout who spent nearly two decades working as a single mother while putting herself through law school, tirelessly trying to beat the system and overturn her brother's unjust murder conviction." I assume the brother didn't do the crime, but Sam Rockwell's playing him so you never know. Maybe we'll get one of those Primal Fear endings. Swank spends years of her life striving to free her brother, then the instant Rockwell steps out of the prison gates he screams, "I stabbed that b*tch in the eyes!" and kicks Hilary in the stomach before stealing her broken down Taurus. Yeah… That would be awesome. Conviction gets tossed into theaters October 15, 2010. Check out the Oscar bait trailer after the jump…
Director: Tony GoldwynCast: Hilary Swank, Sam Rockwell, Minnie Driver, Melissa LeoSynposis : A working mother puts herself through law school in an effort to represent her brother, who has been wrongfully convicted of murder and has exhausted his chances to appeal his conviction through public defenders.Release Date: October 15, 2010
Jon Favreau tweeted this little morsel from the set of Cowboys & Aliens to get your appetite so whet your superiors are wondering why the mop handle in your grip is covered in drool. Though can we really be sure this is official just because the director of the movie released it?My overbearing paronia insists that the pic could be a clever marketing campaign by Disney for Toy Story 3. If Woody was flesh and blood THIS is how he would look, always hauling a backlight around with him so we could never be certain of his identity. Oh no, you're not pulling the wool over my eyes, Lasseter. First the subliminal Nazi propaganda shorts before the main attraction and now this? If you weren't so damn awesome at what you do I'd have a good mind to shake an angry fist at your visage. That and my angry fist is buried deep in a tub of animal crackers at the moment. I know there's an elephant in here somewhere…
Pew. Pew. Pew Pew. Pew.John Favreau has rebounded since his man-crush, Robert Downey Jr., was forced to drop out of Cowboys & Aliens. His solution, of course, was to bring in his vice man-crush. Sam Rockwell will join the already cast Daniel Craig, Olivia Wilde, and Harrison Ford as Doc, a bar owner who joins the fight against the alien threat.The role was originally tailored for a heavyset man but when Vince Vaughn became unavailable, it was rewritten for Rockwell. (THR)
Entertainment Weekly aired a featurette centering on Iron Man 2's villains Whiplash and Justin Hammer. It's nothing mind blowing, but for all those needing a fix it'll "take you there" and have you feeling the effects for about twenty minutes afterwords, not unlike the coke Mickey Rourke used to rail off hotel carpets. Also, the suit Sam Rockwell is wearing fits him really well. What, a man can't admire fine tailoring? **Rips off sleeveless polo. Gets into fighting stance** Check out the featurette below. Iron Man 2 hits theaters May 7. (/Film)
Director: Jared Hess Cast: Jemaine Clement, Sam Rockwell, Mike White, Michael Angarano Synopsis: A teenager at a fantasy writer's convention has his idea plagarized by a world-famous fantasy writer.Release Date: October 30, 2009
Happy Saturday, junkies! If you haven't already read our weekend preview, you might have missed that Comedy Central ran episodes of both "The State" and "Stella" in the wee hours of the morning. They likely didn't run this: an NSFW short written and driected by, and starring David Wain, Michael Ian Black and Michael Showalter – a.k.a. Stella. It's my favorite of the "Stella Shorts," which preceded the Comedy Central show (a show which had Star Wars-level production value by comparison). Look for Moon and Iron Man 2's Sam Rockwell as a pizza delivery guy. With music by John Cougar Mellencamp.
DIRECTOR: Duncan Jones CAST: Sam Rockwell, Kevin Spacey (voice)SYNOPSIS: Astronaut Sam Bell has a quintessentially personal encounter toward the end of his three-year stint on the Moon, where he, working alongside his computer, GERTY, sends back to Earth parcels of a resource that has helped diminish our planet's power problems.

Florida's regional fare features some of the most deliciously unique dishes in the world. Because the Sunshine State is a melting pot of various cultures and ethnic groups, an assortment of ingredients, spices, and foods are used in the preparation of Florida's cuisines.
The first inhabitants of Florida were various tribes of Native Americans who were hunters and fishermen. These indigenous people relied on Florida's wildlife as their major source of food. The Florida natives hunted bison, deer, and other animals, and foraged for wild nuts and berries. With the arrival of Ponce de Leon from Spain in 1513, the multicultural infusion of Florida's food began, signaling a drastic change in diet for Florida natives. As more European explorers came to Florida, the state's culinary styles became extremely diverse.
Not long after the Spanish began to settle in Florida, more immigrants began to arrive, including the Africans who were brought to America as slaves during the 16th century. The foods and dishes of the Native Americans, Spanish, and other Europeans were greatly influenced by the ingredients, spices, and methods of food preparation that the Africans brought from their home country.
Anglo-Americans who migrated south to settle in Florida also played a major role in flavoring the taste of Florida's regional cuisine. They found various ways to use Florida's indigenous ingredients like guavas, fresh seafood, wild ginger, and many more local foods. As time progressed, the basic Spanish and Southern cuisine of Florida blended with that of a number of other cultures.
One of those cultures that influenced Florida's culinary styles was the Minorcans. The Minorcans were a large group of Mediterranean immigrants who settled in St. Augustine in 1768. These migrants used a pepper native to Florida call the datil to flavor traditional sauces and pilaus.
Jewish communities in Florida began to grow tremendously in the early 1900's. Many Jewish restaurants opened throughout the state, adding to Florida's culinary heritage.
Later in the 20th century, Cuban refugees migrated to Florida, bringing with them their own styles of cuisine. Some Cuban dishes that have become popular include black beans, arroz con pollo, and one of the most famous Cuban dishes, the Cuban Sandwich. Extremely popular in Florida, this deli sandwich favorite is made with cold roasted pork, thinly sliced roasted serrano ham, thin swiss cheese, sweet pickle, and yellow mustard served on buttered Cuban bread, and pressed in a grill called a la piancha.
Other regions that have greatly impacted the taste of Florida's cuisine are various Caribbean islands and the Bahamas. Authentic Caribbean cuisine has combined with Florida's own native dishes to create a hybrid cuisine that has become known as "Floribbean" food. Floribbean is a lighter version of Caribbean fare, with less oils and frying used in food preparation. This infusion of Floridian and Caribbean foods produces a vivid combination of colors and tasty island spices like ginger, allspice, cumin, cilantro, cinnamon, fennel seeds, mustard, thyme, oregano, and black and red peppers.
Florida has such a diverse heritage, with inhabitants who have come from all over the world. It's no wonder that the culinary styles in the sunny panhandle state are so richly varied. Vacationers are sure to enjoy the eclectic blend of dishes that are found in Florida.

DES MOINES, Iowa — Republicans and Democrats in state capitals across the country are talking ambitiously about what they will do next year with the unchecked power they amassed in the fall elections. In more states than not, one party now has full control of government.
But you won't hear much brash talk in Des Moines. Here, party leaders are warning supporters about what they shouldn't look forward to next year and speaking mildly about compromises.
Iowa inhabits an unusual parallel universe in this politically polarized time. It is one of only three states where control of the legislature is split between the parties. Instead of laying out bold initiatives for overhauling taxes or education, Republican Gov. Terry Branstad and legislative leaders are trying to figure out a few things they can agree on so that when the session is over, they won't wind up with nothing.
"You don't always get everything you want," Mr. Branstad said, in what could serve as the legislature's rallying cry.
At a time when other states are pursuing purer — and often diametrically opposite — visions of how government should work, Iowa likely will take some from Column A and some from Column B, an approach that could later provide a hybrid counterpoint to the more ideological ventures.
At very least, Mr. Branstad said, citizens "don't get some of the excesses that you don't want."
In the fall elections, Republicans won veto-proof majorities in many of the 26 state legislatures they already controlled, which will allow them to roll over any opposition. Democrats also gained concentrated strength. Half of state legislatures now have such "supermajorities," up from 13 only four years ago.
So armed, Republican-dominated states, including Kansas and Oklahoma, will aim to cut their income taxes to prove the conservative argument that the economy will benefit even if public services suffer. Republicans in Wisconsin hope to stimulate mining with relaxed regulation. Tennessee, Texas and others will pursue a more loose-knit version of public education, replete with independently run charter schools and cash vouchers.
But Republicans in Iowa won't be going there.
The GOP kept control of the 100-member House in November, but only by four seats. Democrats held the Senate held by the narrowest of margins, 26 to 24.
"We better sit down and start talking and be more serious about accommodating each other's interests," said Sen. Mike Gronstal, the Senate's Democratic leader.
While other Republican states are in action mode, Mr. Branstad has named the head of the Democratic-leaning state teachers union to a new task force studying how to improve schools.
Mr. Gronstal said Democrats will work with Mr. Branstad on an education initiative to base teacher advancement more on merit and results. The goal is to boost performance without remaking the whole system.
He said the Senate also will give a new look at business-friendly property tax changes, which Democrats torpedoed last year.
"We all have a set of things we want to accomplish, but our shared focus is to continue getting Iowans back to work," he said.

More shoppers (70%) say they are engaged by end-of-aisle signage than by merchandising displays (62%), department signage (58%), shelf strips (55%) or shelf blades (50%). According to a study by Miller Zell, in-store advertising appears to be the most effective with Millennials, women in general, and middle-income shoppers. Some 51% of unplanned purchases take place in-aisle, while one-third of unplanned purchses take place at end caps. Based on a 2009 survey, more shoppers (32%) rated in-store signage as "very effective," when compared to out-of-store advertising (27%) in raising product awareness and communicating benefits. A Miller Zell survey found that in-store advertising was most important to drug store customers (when compared with grocery and mass merchandise shoppers). Thirty-eight percent of U.S. shoppers said they have used their mobile devices to help make a final decision for an in-store purchase. Grocery shoppers were asked which of the following in-store shopping aids they found helpful: Aisle directional signage, 45%; in-store circular, 26%; message on the shelf, 17%; touch-screen device, 7%; in-store PA announcement, 3%; in-store TV, 2%. A 2011 survey by The NPD Group showed that among those shoppers who made in-store impulse purchases, the main reasons were "saw it on promotion" and "saw it in the store and remembered it was needed." According to a 2010 GfK MRI survey, 30% of respondents said they had seen a "place-based" video ad in the past 30 days. The most popular venues: Stores, 19%; shopping malls, 15%; restaurants, 11%; medical offices, 11%; bars/pubs, 9%; airports, 8%; gyms/health clubs, 7%.

Deir el-Bahari (Egypt)
The site of Deir el-Bahari is located on the west bank of the Nile at Thebes, almost opposite Karnak. A deep bay in the limestone cliffs contains two mortuary temples, the earliest of which is unique in its arrangement of raised terraces and colonnades. This temple was built for Nebhepetre Mentuhotep (2055-2004 BC), the Eleventh-Dynasty Theban king who reunited Egypt at the start of the Middle Kingdom. The king was buried at the rear of the temple, and there are also burials of female members of his family.
The mortuary temple of Nebhepetre Mentuhotep was the inspiration for the neighbouring temple of the Eighteenth-Dynasty 'king' Hatshepsut. This female king is shown as a man throughout the decoration of the temple, including episodes such as her divine birth and her expedition to the land of Punt. Within the temple complex, the shrine of the cow goddess Hathor was a focus for popular religion, where women often left offerings in the hope of conceiving a child. From the late Twenty-fifth Dynasty, priests of Montu were buried in catacombs below the floors of this chapel and that of Anubis.
A cache of royal mummies was found in the area by a local family, and cleared rapidly in 1881. This cache contained the bodies of a majority of the kings of the New Kingdom. Some are now on display in the Cairo Museum.

Antony recalls Indira Gandhi at Kochi (Sidelights)
Defence Minister A.K. Antony recalled the visit he made in 1972 with then prime minister Indira Gandhi to the Cochin shipyard where he Monday launched India's first indigenous aircraft carrier.
Indira Gandhi, he said, had laid the foundation stone of the shipyard. He said it had since attained several milestones. "It (CSL) is now the number one shipyard. I am proud of that."
Antony said that apart from building the aircraft carrier, it had played a major role in the commercial ship-building sector.
No politics please!
Antony, who addressed the media here, made it clear that he will not take any questions on politics.
He also declined to take questions related to the killing of Indian soldiers in Jammu and Kashmir in Pakistani firing. His first statement on the issue had created a major row.

Hawaii State Civil Defense is asking residents whose property, home, or business was damaged by the severe weather that took place between March 3 and 11, 2012, to report damage to the state.
You are asked to call the state's toll free number: 855-211-7456, extension 654.
The state wants residents to call even if you've already made a damage report to your county or a non-governmental organization.
Organizations have different disaster damage criteria, according to the state. State Civil Defense needs an accurate account of disaster damage to determine whether or not the state meets the criteria for supplemental federal disaster assistance.
As a reminder, reporting damage does not guarantee financial aid for repairs. Photo documentation of damages is recommended.
Telephone calls to the toll free number will be monitored by State Civil Defense staff. If the line is busy or is not picked up, please leave a message including your name, phone number and island so damage assessors can return your call.

PicoZ SkyBot Attack: Flying Robots With Laser Tag That Can Blast Each Other Out Of The Sky
2 Comments to PicoZ SkyBot Attack: Flying Robots With Laser Tag That Can Blast Each Other Out Of The Sky
Check it out at SKYBOT.COM.AU
This holiday season there will no doubt be an endless barrage of flying toys for your young tyke to take part in. The PicoZ SkyBot Attack, though, looks to be the stuff kids dream of…sort of.
For about $80 US you get a set of flying bots that each sport an on board gunnery system better known as infrared. Fire on your opponent and assuming you make a direct hit, their engines will disengage causing their bot to fall out of the sky.
Each bot comes with its very own 2 channel remote, which also doubles as a recharging base and explains the 5 minute flying time.
Grew up back East, got sick of the cold and headed West. Since I was small I have been pushing buttons - both electronic and human. With an insatiable need for tech I thought "why not start a blog focusing on technology, and use my dislikes and likes to post on gadgets."

Joe Genuardi
When I perform, and I am taking on a song that has a lot of range in it, I get this amazing feeling when I am truly connected and in my mix with balance. My voice has this little part of sound that is consistent through my whole range when connecting happens correctly. I compare the mixed feeling of singing, to a circus tightrope walker. It's like balancing on a rope and walking, and when it's right, you just balance through the range of the music you are singing.
This balanced feeling in my voice, is so easy and full sounding, and it's such a contrast from my singing many years ago, before connecting my voice. Before learning how to connect, I tried to muscle my way through different ranges. That little bit of weight that carries through my sound now, in my mix, from my chest to my head voice, is so magical. It is all a feel, not a listening thing. The little bit of weight connects the bridges, and I feel it inside my body, and then the notes resonant in my head and chest. When the balance is right, I can hold a note or sing a line forever, air is plentiful. This feeling of balance, is in the contrast also of when I was trying to muscle my way through my voice many years ago. I never had enough air.
When you first experience this balance feeling while singing, and that little bit of weight connecting, the balance might go away, and then you might find it again later, but like a tightrope walker, the more you find it and balance correctly, the better you get at it. I think it is very important to say, no one sings everything perfect. The more we train, the better our ability becomes and the more consistent our singing will become.
Joe Genuardi is a vocal instructor in Central Florida and performs voice lessons in and around Central Florida, Orlando, and the Tampa Bay area.

As of Monday, April 21, 2014
© Copyright 2015 Newton Citizen
NASHVILLE, Tennessee - Kevin Sharp, who survived cancer as a teenager and went on to become a successful country music singer in the 1990s, died late Saturday, according to his website. He was 43.
"Kevin died due to ongoing complications from past stomach surgeries and digestive issues," said a statement posted Sunday on kevinsharp.com.
Sharp, a California native, recorded several hit singles in mid-1990s, including his version of the song "Nobody Knows," which held the top spot on Billboard's Hot Country Single & Track for four weeks.
His debut solo album, "Measure of a Man," was released in November 1996 and hit the top-20 country charts, according to AllMusic.com. A second album, "Love Is," followed in 1998.
Sharp was diagnosed in high school with a rare form of bone cancer that had spread to his lungs, according to his website, and he became involved in the Make-A-Wish Foundation, a non-profit that seeks to provide wish-fulfillment experiences to children with life-threatening illnesses.
Sharp's cancer went into remission in 1991, and he launched his musical career while staying active in Make-A-Wish, becoming a national spokesman for the organization, according to his website. He also became a motivational speaker.
A memorial service for Sharp was being planned in Nashville, the website statement said.

What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal tunnel syndrome is the compression of the median nerve, the nerve that passes through your wrist. The median nerve is located on the palm side of your hand (also called the carpal tunnel). It serves your thumb and first three fingers. Carpal tunnel syndrome can occur in one or both of your hands.
The compression in carpal tunnel syndrome results from swelling inside your wrist. It can cause numbness and tingling to the side of your hand near the thumb. Carpal tunnel syndrome is quite common, existing in up to 10 percent of the U.S. population.
What Causes Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
The pain in the carpal tunnel is caused by excess pressure in your wrist, which leads to inflammation. The most common cause of this inflammation is often an underlying medical condition that causes swelling in the wrist or obstructed blood flow. Some of the most frequent conditions linked with carpal tunnel syndrome are:
- diabetes
- thyroid dysfunction
- fluid retention from pregnancy or menopause
- high blood pressure
- autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis
Carpal tunnel syndrome can be made worse if the wrist is over-extended repeatedly. Repeated motions of your wrist contribute to swelling and compression of the medial nerve. Problems include:
- poor positioning of your wrists while using your keyboard or mouse
- prolonged exposure to vibrations from using hand tools or power tools
- any repeated movement that over-extends your wrist like playing the piano or typing
What are the Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Because carpal tunnel syndrome is a result of your medial nerve being compressed, the symptoms are usually found along the nerve path. Your hand may "fall asleep" frequently and drop objects. Other symptoms:
- numbness, tingling, and pain in your thumb and first three fingers of your hand
- pain and burning that travels up your arm
- wrist pain at night that interferes with sleep
How Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Diagnosed?
The diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome is made through a combination of your history, a physical examination and tests called nerve conduction studies.
Physical examination: includes a detailed evaluation of your hand, wrist, shoulder, and neck to check for any other causes of nerve pressure. Your wrists are examined for tenderness, swelling, and any deformities.
Nerve conduction studies: diagnostic tests that can measure the conduction speed of your nerve impulses. If the nerve impulse is slower than normal, you may have carpal tunnel syndrome.
How Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treated?
Treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome depends on how severe your pain and symptoms are. In 2008, the Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons released guidelines for the effective treatment of carpal tunnel. The recommendation was to try and manage carpal tunnel pain without surgery, if possible.
Non-surgical options include:
- avoiding positions that over-extend your wrist
- wrist splints that hold your hand in a neutral position, especially at night
- mild pain medication and medications to reduce inflammation
- treatment of any underlying conditions you may have such as diabetes or arthritis
- steroid injections into your carpal tunnel area to reduce inflammation
Surgery may be necessary if there is severe damage to your median nerve. Surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome involves cutting away bands of tissue in the wrist that place pressure on your nerve. Although this surgical option is considered a last resort, the outcome is often very good.
Who Is at Risk for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
- Gender: Women are three times more likely to be diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome than men.
- Age: Carpal tunnel syndrome is most frequently diagnosed between the ages of 30 and 60.
- Disease: Certain conditions increase your risk for developing carpal tunnel including diabetes, high blood pressure, and arthritis.
- Lifestyle factors: Lifestyle factors that may increase the risk for carpal tunnel syndrome include smoking, high salt intake, sedentary lifestyle, and a high body mass index (BMI).
- Hands-on occupations: Jobs that involve repetitive wrist movement include manufacturing, assembly line work, keyboarding occupations, and construction work. People who are employed in these occupations may be at higher risk of developing carpal tunnel syndrome
How Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Prevented?
You can prevent carpal tunnel syndrome by making lifestyle changes that reduce your risk factors for developing it.
Treating conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and arthritis reduces your risk for developing carpal tunnel syndrome.
Paying careful attention to hand posture and avoiding activities that over-extend your wrist are also important strategies to reduce symptoms. Exercises done in physical therapy may also be recommended.
What Is the Prognosis for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Treating your carpal tunnel early with physical therapy and lifestyle changes can lead to significant long-term improvement and eliminate symptoms.
If left untreated, however, carpal tunnel can lead to permanent nerve damage, disability, and loss of hand function.

From the moment we contacted Sebastian about our decision to start the home buying process, he was incredibly responsive and fast acting. As first time home buyers (with a baby) he went over the whole process and was very flexible and understanding. Within 2 weeks we found a home and Sebastian created an offer for us that was well within our budget but also was strong enough that it was accepted without any further negotiation. His knowledge and expertise as well as his contacts helped to make it a virtually painless process. We know we will use him again and refer him to anyone we know looking to buy or sell in the DC area. We have found both our permanent realtor as well as a good friend in Sebastian. More Less

Sebastian made our purchase come true. When the property we were interested in, came to market, we were the first to know.
He really helped us win the bid against 4 other potential buyers.
He arranged the paperwork and he handled our requests very patiently and accurately.
After the purchase, he is now helping to find a tenant.
Before we purchased this property he showed numerous properties to myself and on separate time to my husband.
We are very impressed how patient ,knowledgeable, trustworthy,reliable and nice he is.
We are planning to buy a commercial property and will definitely call him for help since he knows the area very well. After all, this place is where he grew up.

Working with Sebastian was an absolute pleasure. We couldn't have done it without him! We're in the military so we've bought and sold many homes ourselves over the years. My mother is a realtor as well -- we know this process inside out. But the difference in value he brought to the table was marked. We couldn't have closed the deal without him in a hundred pivotal ways. More Less

FDNY teams with Marines to stage mock suicide bomb, poison gas attacks
Posted By admin On April 23, 2010 @ 6:46 am In Old Infowars Posts Style,Police State | Comments Disabled
Barry Paddock
New York Daily News
April 23, 2010
They staged the unthinkable.
The city's fire department teamed up with Marines Thursday morning to respond to simultaneous mock suicide bomber and poison gas attacks.
An FDNY team raced around the mangled shell of an MTA bus, herding wounded "victims" to a triage area as real fire burned in the street.
Other rescue workers raced to pull victims from crushed cars turned on their sides or upside down. About 100 firefighters joined 100 marines in the chillingly realistic exercise at the FDNY Fire Academy on Randall's Island.
In a replica of a city subway platform filled with haze, dozens of faux victims screamed for help as they lay among mangled dummies representing the dead.

Read: Carl Hagelin Gives An Honest Assesment Of His Start
John Tortorella spent part of the Rangers brief training camp talking about how he wanted to see Carl Hagelin take on an expanded role with the Rangers, both as a scorer and a penalty killer.
Hagelin agreed that he wanted to take that next step in his development during the season.
Through five games, Hagelin has zero points, 12 shots, eight hits and averaging 16:33 per game.
Hagelin is also averaging 1:28 per game on the PK.
In the NY Post, Hagelin talked with Brett Cyrgalis about his start to the season where he admits he needs to play better,"I maybe played well two out of five games, which isn't good enough. Hopefully that last game was a step in the right direction. I know I have a lot in me, I just felt good last game and hopefully I can draw from that."
He added, "I'm ready to play and ignite some lines."

Unemployment decline widespread in 1999
February 28, 2000
Annual average unemployment rates decreased in 35 States and the District of Columbia from 1998 to 1999. All four regions and eight of the nine geographic divisions also had rate declines.
[Chart data—TXT]
Among the States, Maryland and Oklahoma posted the largest rate declines in 1999 (-1.1 points each), followed by Arkansas (-1.0 point). Four other States recorded decreases of more than three-quarters of a percentage point. (The District of Columbia's rate dropped by 2.5 percentage points.)
Among the Nation's nine geographic divisions, the Pacific division, along with the West South Central division, recorded the largest rate decrease from 1998 (-0.5 percentage point each). The drop in the Pacific division's rate was largely due to improvements in the California labor market.
These data are a product of the Local Area Unemployment Statistics program. To learn more, see State and Regional Unemployment, 1999 Annual Averages (USDL 00-56)

CHICAGO (CBS) - Witnesses say two men in a car opened fire on a crowded Chicago park last night; 13 people were hit. It's the latest in a wave of violence that has seen more than 1600 shooting incidents this year.
Three victims are in critical condition including 3-year-old Deonta' Howard who was shot in the head. Howard's aunt Kailynn Jordan says, "My uncle on my daddy's side made me go in the house but I saw my sister running away so I went with her and we found out it was my nephew."
Deonta's grandmother Tracy Gautreaux says, "I'm just asking that everybody pray and that this violence just stop. There's too many kids getting hurt out here."
The city of Chicago has been stepping up its police presence to respond to a rash of shootings. They have increased patrols in many neighborhoods including the "Back of the Yards" neighborhood where last night's shooting took place. One person in the neighborhood said, "Police were over here real quick, they got here real fast."
Police believe last night's shooting is gang related.
Labor day weekend was particularly deadly in Chicago. Eight people were killed that weekend including Deonta' Howard's uncle.

"There is nothing dirty or unethical about enjoying the sight of a beautiful woman."
To get it out of the way early on, the term "Dirty Old Man" is age-independent. Personally, I have been a DOM since I was knee-high to a duck. The only requirement is that one of a DOM's greater pleasures in life is admiring beautiful girls. (Perhaps it would be more politically correct to term them Women; but then again, it would probably be futile to worry about political correctness in a club called Dirty Old Men's Association International.) Dirty Old Men have been hounded through the ages by lesser minds and beings. Our thoughts and intentions have been misunderstood and misrepresented; our honor has been soiled by those who did not find in themselves any clean and constructive intentions, and so could not see them in others.
A true DOM knows that the enjoyment of beauty is a thing onto itself, and does not necessarily have to be followed or supported by any other action. He is made happy by the world, he knows that he really owns it without having to prove it, and he is not ashamed by his happiness and enjoyment.
DOMAI is all about the beauty of pretty girls. For aesthetics is the most important thing there is; that is our philosophy. DOMAI is not really about women, but about the beauty of women. "Pretty Young Girls" are of any age, not just young girls. These certainly have a special aesthetic, but even an 80-year-old can be a PYG if she has class.
The purpose of Dirty Old Men's Association International is to spread moral support and shared enjoyment amongst like-minded men, and to let you know that you are not alone. Millions of closet DOMs over the world have rising pulses when springtime comes around, with the skirts again rising towards the sky; join us in the movement to make this an accepted natural practice. The blood runs vigorously in our veins at the sight of the sun shining through a white blouse; let us elevate DOMs to the point where they may show their natural appreciation. Our eyes follow lovingly the springy curves of young calves; while our ears are listening, our eyes are taking in the beauty of the amazingly mutable shapes of healthy red lips smiling and talking. We know what we see and what we like, and we know it is all a part of life and God's gift to us all.
We live in a world where base instincts rule the day, war and fighting are the normal behavior of Homo Sapiens. In a world like this the free spirit has a hard time; its motives are always questioned and suspected; his and her behavior is sought to be controlled and modified; it is held down, excluded and fought. Meat creatures cannot believe in higher motivations than food and reproduction.
Well, the fact of the matter is that the design of the human female form, apart from everything else, is one of our greatest works of art.
The Dirty Old Men's Association International was founded as a protest against the short-sightedness of attackers of those who admire beauty, and as a club supporting the admirers. Joining it is a statement that you love looking at pretty girls, and that you are not ashamed of it.
While we are not against sex, that is not what we are promoting. What we promote is beauty, and those who love it.
A few people have had a bad emotional reaction to the term "dirty old man", as regards this club. Well, that is why I spell it Dirty Old Man.
Let's take a look at the term "dirty old man": So, in the middle of the street, you look with obvious pleasure at some Pretty Young Girl. Someone immediately calls you a "dirty old man". Why?
Regarding "man": Actually, some of the people I know who get the greatest pleasure out of looking a beautiful women are girls themselves. And not lesbians either. They simply and honestly enjoy the aesthetics.
Regarding "dirty": Supposing it is not always just aesthetics. Suppose sometimes you are actually thinking "boy, I'd like to get with her". Let me ask: what is "dirty" about that? If that instinct were to disappear, what do you think would happen to the human race within a generation or two? Gone as the Dodo, is what.
Regarding "old": what is that all about? Do you lose your rights to think and to look as you grow older? Or what? Seriously, I don't get it.
So let us get rid of that idea. You have the right to think and to look at whatever you want, and others do also.
Which is why I with malicious pleasure term myself Dirty Old Man, because I don't care about all that nonsense.
There is no such thing as a "dirty old man". It is simply a derogatory term used by people to make others feel bad about looking and thinking, and so make them withdraw. Don't withdraw. It is simply not possible to be unethical in your thinking and your looking. It is only possible to be unethical in doing.
It is permitted to look at anything and anybody in a public place. If freedom of expression is a basic right, how much more so the right to think and to look?
It is quite possible that a too great fixation on one thing is a bad thing for you. (Notice that admiring female beauty does not even have to be a sexual thing. For many it is primarily an aesthetic proposition.) But that is your personal problem to adjudicate. Nobody else's business.
There is nothing dirty or unethical about enjoying the sight of a beautiful woman. Personally I find it either unperceptive or dishonest not to do so. It is even unfair. Most beautiful women use a lot of time and energy to appear their best, and it seems rather illogical to suggest that they do all this work so nobody shall look. It seems to me that to ignore it or to pretend one does not notice, is simply mean or silly.

Smithfield has partnered with other grocery retailers across the country and have, over the past two years, donated to Feeding America food banks and other non-profits more than 13 million servings of much-needed protein.
Paula Deen has been the spokesperson for the Smithfield, Va.-based packer since 2006. All winners will be randomly selected on or about December 15, 2011.

So Laurie, Sarah and Diane finally motivated me to make something myself instead of asking Chris Zimmer or Lawson Kline to make it for me.But I'm not an exceptionally patient guy, so I wanted to try making almond milk the quick way. It worked wonderfully.What's the quick way? Using Bob's Red Mill almond flour (which is just blanched, ground almonds) instead of whole almonds. I'm drinking some hot chocolate made with my homemade almond milk as I type this.What I like about this is that I know exactly what's in my milk: almonds, water, organic vanilla extract, organic agave syrup (and for the chocolate milk, raw organic cacao nibs). Nothing else. Kinda cool. And quite delish.I looked at a few recipes on line, and took what I liked from a couple of them to make my milk. Mine's very thick and rich, you could easily make it thinner by adjusting the ration of almond flour to water. My recipe:1 to 1 1/4 cups Bob's Red Mill almond flour2 cups water1 teaspoon organic vanilla extract1/8 cup organic agave syrupand for the chocolate version: 2 TBS organic cacao nibsPut everything in a blender. Blend. A lot. I blended mine for 60 sec at the highest speed my blender would blend.Pour mixture into a mesh nut milk bag (wonderful device!) secured around the top of a container.Allow to drain for a bit.Get impatient and start squeezing the rest of the milk out of the bag into the container (but be careful, squeeze too hard and you can rupture the bag!)Set bag aside.Drink. Or chill first. Then drink.Use the leftover 'paste' as a really nice dessert with a bit of honey drizzled over it. Yum!Some pics:.The ingredients. That's all there is to it (plus water, of course)..Draining in the mesh nut milk bag. I made a mess the first time. Found a better container for the second round with the chocolate version..The leftover paste. Really tasty as a dessert with honey, especially the chocolate version!.A nice glass of homemade almond milk! I've got some Bob's hazelnut flour to try next! Might even try it with coconut flour! Anyone know if that might work?Prost!(Producer's note: No cuben was harmed in the making of this almond milk......)
Edited by idester on 06/06/2011 20:57:34 MDT.
You have milk as an ingredient in your recipe. I think you mean water...right?
"You have milk as an ingredient in your recipe. I think you mean water...right?"Ummmmmmmm, yeah. ;-) Thanks.
I love those cacao nibs.....btw, you gotta try the raw agave syrup! It is freaky good (which I might add Trader Joe's sells the name brand branded under their name).
the hazelnut milk has me intrigued - let us know how it works out

Why Read This ReportThe rise of mobile devices and broadband Internet access at home are driving new behaviors by information workers. Our surveys of almost 10,000 global information workers and 2,300 IT hardware decision-makers enable us to quantify how info workers are using many devices for work purposes and blending work and personal use across their full set of devices. We quantify the portion of workers who report spending personal funds for specific device types and the amount of spending they control. This report suggests how technology markets will evolve as a result, and it gives examples of how vendor strategists can plan for and take advantage of the new market conditions.

This new #OutofOffice monthly series will highlight many of our
Our series celebrating the 'out of office' skills and talents of our Europe Group colleagues continues today as we talk to Job Eijlders from Brussels. Away from his desk, Job has a most spectacular skill – as a fire-breather.
When he's not working for our Research & Development team as Stability Manager, Job can be found playing with fire, literally.
We caught up with him to learn more about the tricks of the trade.
Fire is a fascinating element that captures the curiosity of many people with its combination of beauty,mystery and danger. It all started when I decided to wear a dragon costume to a fancy dress party. Any respectable dragon must be able to breathe fire, so I decided it would be very cool if I could learn this skill.
This was back in 2009 and it is still just as exciting and fun as the first time I tried it. I currently practice my hobby about once or twice a week, occasionally giving fire-breathing performances with my partner Yoke. Luckily our neighbours and cats are used to it!
It's actually quite simple: you hold a flammable liquid in your mouth and then you "spray" it into a flame, which ignites the liquid and creates a stunning ball of fire.
My personal safety and the safety of spectators is always top priority. The choice of liquid is very important − alcohol and petrol are completely off limits. Alcohol's combustion point is too low, which can result in the flame backfiring into your mouth. And petrol contains lots of chemicals that are very bad for your health. I only use special oil mixtures that are specifically made for fire-breathing.
The biggest danger is actually that the liquid could enter your lungs. This can cause chemical pneumonia, so never make a fire-breather laugh when he is working!
Despite the risks, in the five years that I've been fire-breathing I've only had one little incident where I lost a few eyebrow hairs, so it's safer than you might expect.
Watch Job perform with the Namur fire-artists 'Les Orryflammes':
The size of the flames, which varies between two and four metres, is dependent on how long you breathe the oil into the flame and the amount of liquid you use.
It is always funny when giving courses to see smaller women blowing much bigger flames then big macho men. It has more to do with lung capacity and breathing technique than sheer physical power. Manipulating the length of your breath and movements is hard work and requires a lot of practice.
I always advise people who want to try this hobby to learn from someone who has experience and to take it slow, as accidents often happen when people are too confident too quickly. Don't try this at home!
What do you love most about this hobby?
It's the passion of the fire and being able to have a bit of control over the flame which I love the most. To see it developing in front of you, even if it is only for a fraction of a second, to hear the roar of the flame when it is unleashed − it's just pure magic.
When you work with fire you have to be very focused and this concentration really helps me unwind after a day at the office.
There are so many. One of the best things is sharing my passion with friends and people who are interested in learning how to do it. It is very rewarding teaching people how to breathe fire and to see them breathing their first flame.
The reaction from the audience is always very rewarding, whether it's the cheer of a big crowd or the amazement of one single child. I think the most memorable moments come from working hard on a technique and finally mastering it.
Whether I'm breathing fire or working on a project in the office, there is a chance I will get 'burned' if I don't execute a task properly, or take the right safety precautions!
I think that fire-breathing has helped me learn how to focus in the midst of lots of noise. This is a handy skill to have as when you breathe fire it comes down to just "you and the flame", which demands a lot of concentration.
Do you have a story to tell when you get off work? We've started a campaign to share everyone's happy hobbies when they're #outofoffice. We'd love to hear yours: Share your story here.
