Man sentenced for role in fatalityApril 03,2013
BURLINGTON A Winooski man has been sentenced to six to 15 years in prison for his part in a fatal shooting in a South Burlington parking lot last year.
Jason Beane had pleaded guilty to assault and robbery resulting in injury earlier this year.
Prosecutors said Beane and Robert Dougherty of Winooski planned to rob Abdul Clay, an acquaintance, of crack cocaine last April.
Prosecutors said Dougherty shot Clay in the abdomen during a scuffle at a South Burlington park.
The Burlington Free Press reported that Clay died later that day at the hospital.
Beane, who admitted earlier this year to grappling with Clay as Dougherty shot him, was sentenced on Friday.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER A bill seeking to clarify who can be classified by employers as an independent...

Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly
by Anthony Bourdain
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Shocking? Kinda. Informative? Kinda. Extremely profane? Definitely.
I don't consider myself prudish, but I just felt a little bit icky after reading this book, like some of the filth and depravity had been just a little too much.
On the positive side, I generally like Bourdain's narrative voice, and he's certainly had some experiences that I could never have imagined.
I do think it's probably an extremely important read for anyone aspiring to be a chef, as Bourdain is very no-holds-barred in his description of the job and the lifestyle it seems to entail.
Also... I just have to say, kudos to his wife. She's rarely mentioned in the book, but knowing she was by his side through this entire thing is pretty amazing. That, maybe more than anything else, definitely impressed me -- although as I said, it was definitely tangential to the book's subject matter.
One chef's tale of food and the food industry. I didn't want to read the long chapters on why he got into cooking (as a rambunctious kid, he had an oyster) or why other chefs are better than him. I wish there had been more on the food and the industry; those chapters were fascinating. If this book had been less of a memoir, I'd have liked it much more. As it was, I zipped through it with pleasure.
I've never really watched this guy. I know he's on TV and that's about it. This is a behind the scenes look at what it's like to work in the restaurant field. You may never want to eat out again. He has a dry sense of humor and a no holds barred attitude. There were moments that were laugh out loud. About half way through I just wanted it to be done.
Between you and me, I was quite disappointed by "Kitchen Confidential". I had heard promising reviews about it which made "Kitchen Confidential" sound like it was in the vein of "Hollywood Babylon" and those of ilk. Instead, we got a good opening which petered out to tame stories about his assistant chef or visiting Japan and leaving local chefs shocked at his ability to use truffle oil.
Narrated by the author. Fascinating account of New York City restaurant kitchens behind the scenes. The author reads the audio version; his rogueish air makes you believe that if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen! Unveils the raw, honest, profane truth of being a chef in the restaurant business. Opens with a family summer trip to France where he first experiences different foods. Later he attends the Culinary Institute, works various jobs at different restaurants, and gets high/drunk. He provides revealing cautionary tales about eating at restaurants on the weekends (don't), culinary careers, and opening new restaurants.
This is one bitter, nasty, searing, hard-to-swallow piece of work. But if you can choke the thing down, youll (sic) probably wake up grinning in the middle of the night. Bourdain is a force of unruly nature, a lifelong misanthrope and currently the executive chef at the Brasserie Les Halles, whose clientele, now that this book is out, must be accounted among the more courageous diners in New York.

Wikipedia in English (9)
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0060899220, Paperback)Most diners believe that their sublime sliver of seared foie gras, topped with an ethereal buckwheat blini and a drizzle of piquant huckleberry sauce, was created by a culinary artist of the highest order, a sensitive, highly refined executive chef. The truth is more brutal. More likely, writes Anthony Bourdain in Kitchen Confidential, that elegant three-star concoction is the collaborative effort of a team of "wacked-out moral degenerates, dope fiends, refugees, a thuggish assortment of drunks, sneak thieves, sluts, and psychopaths," in all likelihood pierced or tattooed and incapable of uttering a sentence without an expletive or a foreign phrase. Such is the muscular view of the culinary trenches from one who's been groveling in them, with obvious sadomasochistic pleasure, for more than 20 years. CIA-trained Bourdain, currently the executive chef of the celebrated Les Halles, wrote two culinary mysteries before his first (and infamous) New Yorker essay launched this frank confessional about the lusty and larcenous real lives of cooks and restaurateurs. He is obscenely eloquent, unapologetically opinionated, and a damn fine storyteller--a Jack Kerouac of the kitchen. Those without the stomach for this kind of joyride should note his opening caveat: "There will be horror stories. Heavy drinking, drugs, screwing in the dry-goods area, unappetizing industry-wide practices. Talking about why you probably shouldn't order fish on a Monday, why those who favor well-done get the scrapings from the bottom of the barrel, and why seafood frittata is not a wise brunch selection.... But I'm simply not going to deceive anybody about the life as I've seen it." --Sumi Hahn
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 17:58:05 -0400)
New York chef and novelist Bourdain recounts his experiences in the restaurant business, and exposes abuses of power, sexual promiscuity, drug use, and other secrets of life behind kitchen doors.

2014 Baby Name Predictions: The Top 12 Trends
The baby names of 2014 will no doubt see parents reviving family names and long-dormant choices, finding inspiration in literary characters and world leaders, looking to names to make their children seem stronger or spicier.

The history of baby names is littered with former stars that burned brightly for a decade or two, only to fade from view.

5 Tips for a Healthy Pregnancy
by Margie Kelly, Communications Manager, Healthy Child Healthy World
Do you remember the moment you first learned you were pregnant? After the shock and awe period passes, pregnancy is the perfect time to commit to eliminating toxic chemicals from your food, home, and personal care products.
Making your daily routines as healthy as possible during pregnancy will make you feel better and will go a long way toward protecting your unborn child from toxic chemicals like BPA, mercury, phthalates and more, all of which have been found in the bodies of pregnant women. Clearing out chemicals from your daily routines now is good practice for creating a healthy home environment for your newborn baby, who will be particularly vulnerable to harmful chemicals found in everyday products.
Over the years, Healthy Child has gathered some excellent pregnancy advice from our experts and friends. Consider these tips for a greener, healthier pregnancy.

First-Time Moms' Maternity Checklist
Congrats, you're pregnant! Get ready—during these next nine months, you're going to go through a lot of changes: physical, emotional, and yes, financial. But before you start shopping for cribs and strollers, you'll need to take care of your own maternity needs.
Whether you plan on buying a whole new maternity wardrobe or just borrowing from friends and family, here's the rundown on some things to keep in mind — from the must-haves, to some nice-to-haves.
Baby's First Tests and Procedures
Your newborn is just a few minutes old, yet he's already taking his first tests. But don't let performance anxiety get to you. In-hospital tests are there to help doctors assess your baby's health and to give them an earlier opportunity to discover potential (sometimes life-threatening) disorders before they adversely affect your baby's health.
Tests vary from state to state; some are required, some are offered, but all are there to help assess the well-being of your newborn and to make sure your baby is on the right track to a healthy, happy life.


text: The Continuing Crisis The Continuing Crisis By R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr. – From the January-February 2014 issue November slides into December, and throughout the land the cognoscenti are asking themselves how President Barack Obama will dispose of the nearly two-dozen books that he bought early in December for Christmas reading from the left-wing bookstore Politics and Prose. He bought, among other classics, A Constellation of Vital Phenomena,by Anthony Marra, The Lowland,by Miss Jhumpa Lahiri, and, for pure literary indulgence, Harold and the Purple Crayon,by Crockett Johnson. Surely he is not going to read beyond the first paragraphs of any of these books, any more than he read beyond the first paragraphs of the Affordable Care Act, which he hastily signed into law. This holiday season he is going to be busy watching bowl games, playing basketball, and answering the sempiternal lure of the links. Maybe he will finally get to read Dreams From My Father. By now any sentient observer knows that he did not write that elegant tome. Did he even read it? The month of November was the month in which the intelligent citizenry began to doubt Mr. Obama's veracity on a whole range of issues.Thank you for your interest in this article.

Before upgrading to Mavericks, when I would delete an email message on my iPhone I had it set to ARCHIVE the message not send it to trash. This way when I got home, I would open the Mail app on my iMac and there would be an Archive folder. Then I could look through the stuff again and then send whatever I don't want to trash.
But ever since the upgrade, it takes a while - sometimes several minutes - for the Mail App to display the Archive Folder in the side bar. This never happened before Mavericks. I was wondering if anyone else has seen this behavior and if so, how to correct it?

While the various recruiting services on the Internet continue to use star ratings in the evaluation of football players, Gophers coach Jerry Kill pays little attention to those ratings.
The Gophers haven't been able to recruit many four-star recruits in the past, but it looks like they might have some this year -- at least by how Kill and his staff rated them. He is very happy with the players who signed with his team on Wednesday.
"The bottom line is what's going to fit for us and who's going to play for us," Kill said of his theory of recruiting.
"Those [ratings] change on a daily basis. I look for what we feel like is going to be best for our program. Very similar to coach Bill Belichick and the Patriots, he takes and puts people into his system. We recruit people that we feel is best for the University of Minnesota. It may not be best for somebody else but it is for us. So we're caught up, we feel very good about our system."
Kill added: "I don't know our recruiting class was ninth or 10th in the conference when I was at Northern Illinois but Northern Illinois has had two back-to-back 11-3 seasons and gone to a bowl game. They have the best athletes in the MAC right now. I think it's what you're trying to do with what you feel is best for your program."
He said every player he thought was going to commit did just that Wednesday with the exception of Raleigh, N.C., linebacker Drew Davis, who decided to stay near home and go to North Carolina State.
Kill said there are a number of players he signed that were recruited by several BCS conference schools and have the ability to be outstanding for the Gophers.
"You take the three receivers with Isaac Fruechte, he's here at semester and I think he's very athletically gifted," Kill said. Then the [Jamel] Harbison kid and Andre McDonald. ... Harbison is probably the best skill player in North Carolina. Then with Andre, I think that everybody knows that everybody in the country recruited Andre and that was a big thing for us at receiver."
Besides Hopkins' McDonald, there were other Minnesotans who Kill mentioned as being in the blue-chip category. "[St. Thomas Academy's] Issac Hayes that Georgia Tech offered, [Blue Earth's] Jonah Pirsig was recruited by everybody in the country and he stayed at home. [Mankato West's] Philip Nelson, his dad played at the University of Wisconsin, and I know his dad kind of mandated the phone, Iowa really wanted to get into that situation and so forth, we were fortunate to get him. There's quite a few guys there that I know we had to wait [on] ... they certainly had choices."
Kill said he was proud of the fact that the Gophers were able to sign every kid in the state they recruited with the exception of Eden Prairie tackle Nick Davidson, who moved here last year and signed with Stanford.
"If we did anything really good we were able to do a good job here in our home state," Kill said. "I feel good about what we did in our home state. I think we got nine or 10 young people coming and I feel like we kept the talent here in our home state for the most part. You're never going to get them all, but I think we did a good, solid job in taking care of our home state and are off to a good start there."
We will have to wait and see how good this class is, but on paper it appears to be one of the Gophers' best in recent years.Jottings
• Twins President Dave St. Peter on why fans should get excited about single-game tickets at Target Field, which become available to the public on Feb. 25: "The interleague schedule couldn't be better with the Cubs coming in and the Phillies coming in and of course the Brewers. We're excited about that and obviously opening day April 9th against former Cardinals star Albert Pujols and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim on Opening Day."
• Twins catcher Drew Butera, who played a lot last year with Joe Mauer injured, will now have to compete for the second catcher position with Ryan Doumit, who signed by the Twins as a free agent earlier this offseason. "I'm still positive," said Butera while in town for the TwinsFest. "I'm going to go in and compete for a spot and hopefully get the job. You know competition is always good. It will bring out the best in some people."
• According to a recent issue of Forbes Magazine, the Timberwolves' Glen Taylor rates ninth among NBA team owners in wealth with $1.8 billion. Rick Adelman is the fifth-highest paid coach at $5 million, with ex-Wolves coach Flip Saunders, who was recently let go as coach of the Wizards, was sixth at $4.8 million. Checking the value of NBA franchises, the Wolves are 27th in value at $272 million while losing $6.8 million in operating income this past season. The only teams behind the Wolves are Atlanta, Memphis and Milwaukee; the Lakers are the NBA's most valuable franchise at $900 million. Forbes reported that ex-Wolves star Kevin Garnett has earned $270 million during his 16-year career, second in NBA history only to Shaquille O'Neal.
• Former Blaine High School standout Dan Johnson signed a minor-league deal with the Chicago White Sox after playing with Tampa Bay last season. He hit .273 last year at Class AAA while dealing with an injured left wrist. He also hit a dramatic home run in the ninth inning of the Rays' final game of the season to help them win the AL wild card.
• Bryce McNeal, the former Breck wide receiver who spent three seasons at Clemson, is now at Connecticut, where he will have two years of eligibility remaining.
• Drake Michaelson, the all-conference Eden Prairie linebacker, signed a letter of intent to play for FCS Wofford in South Carolina. ... Kevin Carroll, an all-state tackle at Edina and the son of former Gophers tight end Jay Carroll, signed with Northern Iowa. Jay's oldest son, Collin, just graduated from Virginia Tech where he was the long snapper for four years.
• Henk Norel, whom the Wolves selected with the 47th overall pick in the 2009 NBA draft, is playing in Spain for Joventut Badalona, where the 6-11 Dutchman is averaging 6.8 points and 4.1 rebounds in 16 minutes per game. ... Former Wolves first-round pick Ndudi Ebi is playing in Lebanon this year and is averaging 25.2 points per game.

Tamesis Author Guidelines
This guide aims to help you to prepare your text for the press and to describe the various stages in the publication process. (download PDF document 167 KB)
Tamesis House Style Notes
In producing our authors' books we aim to publish text that is well written according to generally accepted rules of English grammar, and well presented according to generally accepted typographical practice. These alphabetically ordered notes provide a collection of conventions which we prefer to follow. (download PDF document 238 KB)
The information on this style sheet is of course not always applicable to manuscripts submitted in Spanish or containing quotations in Spanish. On these occasions, normal Spanish conventions should apply, for example in the capitalisation of book titles.
Tamesis Indexing Guidelines
This guide is intended primarily for authors who, for the first time, need to index their own work; it also includes information on how indexes should be formatted and submitted to Tamesis Books. It is not intended to be exhaustive. If you want to know more about indexing see the Further Reading section at the end of the guide. (download PDF document 117 KB)
Although you will be very familiar with the material, you should bear in mind that the index needs to be easily usable by readers coming to your work for the first time; their terminology or conceptual grasp of the subject may be different from your own. This is particularly true if you are writing a book for a general readership rather than for the academic community.
If possible, arrange with a colleague or friend to (a) review the index at an early stage to see if you're going in the right direction and (b) try using the completed index to look up a few topics.
The amount of time required to produce a good index should not be underestimated. Indexing is a creative task in its own right and a good index will make a good book immeasurably better.
The indexing process breaks down into stages.
You will receive a separate set of page-proofs for the purpose of indexing. You will normally be given three weeks from page-proof stage to compile the index.

AC/DC, Highway to Hell
Release: August 3, 1979Where I was listening: Everywhere.When: As much as possible over the last two days.Glad I heard it?: Fuck yes.Recommended for: Fans of the blues who want to rock a bit harder and anyone wondering what REAL rock and roll sounds like.Sample: "Highway to Hell," Night Prowler"
Critic's Notes: This record first came out three months before I was born, but I didn't hear it until the early '90s. And life has never been the same.
So why have I been spinning this disc in my portable CD player for two days? The easy answer is that my laptop, with much of my music on it, died, and I needed music.I got lucky and found cheap, used copies of Highway to Hell and Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. Yes, the rock gods smiled on me for once. I've been alternating between the two, but Highway has played more. It was Bon Scott's last album with the band before his "death by misadventure."
The best tracks always remind me that AC/DC is not a heavy metal band. They are a blues band that plays a lot faster and louder. "Get It Hot" and "Love Hungry Man" rock, but it's the blue progressions from Angus and Malcolm Young that drive the songs home.
As for the title track, well, find me a better pure rock song (one not recorded by either AC/DC, Chuck Berry, or Jerry Lee Lewis), and I will by you a beer. The song is instantly identifiable from the first note and maintains its energy for the entire (much too short) length.
For Those About to Rock: AC/DC is the greatest band of all time. And, in fitting Bon Scott tradition, I'll fight anyone who disagrees. Recent rumors of a new album nearing completion and a world-dominating tour next year will once again prove it.

Cool Stuff: Fan Posters For Christopher Nolan's 'Interstellar'
Posted on Wednesday, September 17th, 2014 by Germain Lussier
The Interstellar rumblings have began. Star John Lithgow saw the movie this weekend in New York and said the following about it: "Mind blown at 8AM, secret IMAX screening of #Interstellar in NY. So proud to be in it." I've heard rumors of tears upon tears at other early screenings too. Basically, November 7 can't get here fast enough to show us Christopher Nolan's take on space travel starring Matthew McConaughey, Jessica Chastain, Anne Hathaway, Casey Affleck, John Lithgow, Wes Bentley and more.
As we get ready for the film, the Poster Posse has begun to pay tribute. Multiple artists have made fan posters for the highly anticipated sci-fi epic. Check out the Poster Posse Interstellar posters below. Read More »

Very impressed with Valenti Audi. I purchased a CPO 2010 A4 in January 2012 and worked with John Croci in sales. John presented several options in my price range and we were able to find the perfect match right on the lot. I can be very picky and the inventory at Valenti was great. I needed a manual and there were three to choose from. Most of the time I spend weeks looking for a manual in my price/mileage range and that wasn't the case with Valenti. It took less than a week from the time I spotted the car online until I was driving off the lot back home. My experience with finance was also great. No last minute tricks in the finance department. Overall, John Croci and the whole Valenti team were great to work with. No b/s from these guys...A+ -Mike T

Brock Lesnar winning Royal Rumble
While talking about sports betting on his personal blog, Jim Ross mentioned that the top two favorites to win the Royal Rumble are the first and last entrants. The legendary WWE commentator also stated that he would put his money on Brock Lesnar to win the event this year so that the former UFC Heavyweight Champion can go headline Wrestlemania at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas.

Jim Ross denies TNA rumors
Rumors about Jim Ross signing with TNA have been floating around since the legendary commentator was released by WWE. For whatever reasons, they heated up again this week. Ross felt compelled to address the issue via social media. He stated that the rumors were not true. Ross also added that Impact Wrestling already has a great announcing team so he is really not needed.
December 2, 2015
Undertaker not a draw
Through FOX Sports, Jim Ross revealed a rather interesting story about Ole Anderson. Back when Undertaker was wrestling in WCW, his contract was coming to an end. Ross felt that the deal should have been renewed and tried to convince Anderson to make it happen. However, Anderson told Ross that he felt that Undertaker would never be a draw and doubted his future in the business.
November 20, 2015
Ross on Roode
For astute fans of professional wrestling, Bobby Roode has been one of unsung heroes of the industry over the past decade. He is the complete package as a performer. Jim Ross recently chimed in and stated that he hopes that WWE will be wise enough to scoop up the former world heavyweight champion. The legendary commentator compared Roode to a modern day version of Arn Anderson.
October 11, 2015
Drinking with Ric Flair
During a podcast interview with Jim Ross, Tony Schiavone revealed that the reason why he quit drinking and partying with Ric Flair is because Flair eventually shows his genitals at some point in the night. Schiavone also noted that Flair would be sneaky at times and throw away his drink while no one was looking. That enabled Flair to have a reputation as a party animal without being completely drunk.
August 28, 2015
Gail Kim addresses Vince McMahon
Earlier in the week, Jim Ross revealed that he had to do quite a bit of convincing in order to get Vince McMahon to sign Gail Kim to a contract. Her ethnicity was a big issue for the CEO. When asked about the comments, Gail revealed that she was not surprised by it whatsoever because that was just how McMahon is as a person backstage.
July 9, 2015
Tammy Sytch fooled by fan
A rather interesting discussion took place between Tammy Sytch and a person that she thought was Jim Ross on social media yesterday. The two of them discussed the rumors about Sytch doing porn. Some of the comments made towards her were rather raunchy, including a sexually suggestive idea that involves barbecue sauce. The real Ross took to his blog earlier today to inform fans that it was a fake account and not words coming from him.
May 25, 2015
Sonnen meeting Jarrett
By now, most of you know that Chael Sonnen is going to be working with GFW when they start taping for television. The UFC star recently revealed how their business relationship came to be. He stated that Jim Ross was the person that put the two of them in contact with one another. Ross knew Sonnen was passionate about wrestling and very serious about joining the industry. Ross is also want to see Jarrett doing well with Global Force Wrestling.
May 22, 2015
Melina and Batista
Some rumors will never die, it seems. As the latest guest of Jim Ross on his podcast show, Melina was asked to address the issue once again. She stated that she was in a relationship with John Morrison for approximately eleven years. It was revealed that the two of them broke up because of rumors that she had cheated on Morrison with Batista, whom she stated was merely a friend backstage who stood up for her when others ridiculed her.
March 13, 2015
Jim Ross on Bill DeMott
During a radio interview with At The Fights, Jim Ross shared his feelings towards Bill DeMott. The former stated that the latter was a fair man and a tough guy. However, Ross also stated that DeMott might not have been the right person for the job. WWE needed someone who could see the bigger picture better than DeMott, whom Ross stated would have been great as an assistant trainer. Ross also noted that DeMott was politically incorrect.

in : Problems: Lawns
Spreading perennial plant that produces mats of foliage. Easily recognised by pretty, small, white-petalled flowers with a round yellow centre.
The common or lawn daisy is able to grow in a wide range of soils, even in compacted soil that's inhospitable to other plants. Daisies may also out-compete cultivated plants and cause them to die. It can spread by forming mats of foliage, and is able to colonise new areas by producing seed.
Dig or grub out daisies from lawns using an old kitchen knife or a spike-like daisy grubber. Alternatively, slash though the mats of foliage with a knife at weekly intervals to weaken and loosen the plants. Collect mowings from the lawn, as this can help spread daisies. Pull or dig out daisies in borders by hand.
Apply a systemic weedkiller to the foliage of daisies in paving or flowerbeds. On lawns, use a selective lawn weedkiller or a lawn feed and weed product.
24/11/2011 at 15:27
I never consider daisies to be a problem. In fact I love the fact that they are wild and have a meadow-like quality. And I have fond childhood memories of making daisy chains with my gran.
24/11/2011 at 15:28
Glad someone else likes daisies. I like to see them in a lawn, oh that we could keep them, and kill dandelions!
24/11/2011 at 15:28
I found this site because I wonder if one can have a daisy lawn without grass. Infrequent cuting, great wildlife and beautiful. Where's the catch?If one doesn't treat grass as precious, what's the problem with daisies (and dandelions)? I think I'm missing something. Am I?
24/11/2011 at 15:29
Daisies (Bellis perennis) are fantastic wild plants. They are also called Woundwort or Bruisewort. Daisies have long been used in domestic herbal medicine including, unsurprisingly, as a cure for fresh wounds and bruises. They are also edible. Use the buds, white petals and lemony flavoured leaves in salads. Beautiful.Please don't encourage people to put weedkiller all over these useful plants! A lawn consisting of useful plants is stronger and healthier. Better for us and the planet!
24/11/2011 at 15:29
I agree with Amanda, our wild plants are beautiful we should cherish them. This year the dandelions made as lovely a show as daffodils along the fringes of the motor ways, yet we despise them as weeds. Who was it said a weed is a plant in the wrong place!

An acrlyic gouche painting for my animation painting class. I've been without free time for personal art...So I just wanted to post something I liked from school. This is a big step for me traditional wise...My contrast has improved but I still need to push it further. :3
gouache is fuuuun, thats underpainting and then going over with pastels right? and this picture is lurverly =]
Ty~! Actually it's just simply many layers of gouche on watercolour cold press paper. I've used pastels before with my gouche so that must explain the look XD.
Oh okay thats what we did in an art course i did, was use pastels, it was fun and slightly challenging for my OCDness to NOT shade perfectly witht he watercolours. i was twitching, no joke
Lol~! I never had the paitence to really render anything up until a year and a half ago. I was so obsessed with inking and tones....Now I'm so pumped to try all sorts of colour. :>

LaFeve Automotive was fine. My complaint is that I reserved the equipment at UHaul Ft. Drum for pickup. I was not notified that the location was changed. The representative said there was a note on the reservation that someone tried calling me but there was no answer and could not leave a message. Also they said an email was sent as well. I DID NOT have a missed call and my voicemail is working fine. Also I DID NOT receive an email notification. I was very upset. LaFeve was 30 minutes away and the winter road conditions were terrible.

Among friends, competitive eater Suzanne "Suzilla" French is known for extreme behavior. Whatever she does, she does big, be it eating or drinking, showing her love for country or pro-football.
She's the fourth-ranked competitive eater in the world - the kind of person who parties hard on Flag Day and decks her Facebook profile picture with the New Orleans Saints' logo. The last time I saw her, before she left Atlanta for her hometown of Houston, was in the back of a stretch limo that she'd rented for a mutual friend's birthday. I joined them after they'd spent the day at Medieval Times - a gorge-fest in its own right. Bottles of booze spilled forth as the car flew around town, making stops at bars where French knew everyone. I can't remember how it ended.
For its new extreme eating special, Discovery's Planet Green channel capitalized on her "girl-next-door consumes gargantuan portions of food" shtick. "Suzilla: The Mouth That Roars" follows the 28-year-old as she takes on men at least twice her size in eating competitions in some of the country's greasiest spoons and short-order eateries.
She took a few minutes out of her day job as a contract lawyer for an oilfield services company to talk about how she manages to not look like a competitive eater and the two kinds of food she refuses to eat.
Suzilla: The competition part - because it's me versus another guy, and I'm a girl that can eat a lot.
EG: How did you get the nickname Suzilla?
Suzilla: An old friend used to call me Su-nami because I was always such a whirlwind. So when I started eating, my brother thought it would be neat if I was like Shaq and had a bunch of nicknames. So he came up with Suzilla and a variety of others. Suzilla stuck because it's the most intimidating.
EG: How did you get started in competitive eating?
Suzilla: My car broke down when I was working as a tax attorney in Atlanta [in 2009]. It broke down around the time my student loan came up, so I had to pay $800 for the car. Corndogorama and was being held so I thought okay, that's where I'll get the money. It worked.
EG: What's the biggest misconception about competitive eating?
Suzilla: That the bigger you are, the more you can eat when really it's people that are super skinny that can eat a lot because their stomachs expand.
EG: What's the most difficult food to eat?
Suzilla: The hardest thing to eat is anything covered in sugar because it gives you the worst hangover. It dehydrates and takes all the moisture out of your body.
EG: What's the most you've eaten in one sitting?
Suzilla: In one sitting I actually ate the pie in the sky in Alpharetta, Georgia with a buddy. I ate the majority of it, about 8 to 12 slices. It had pepperoni, sausage, ham, hamburger, it was just completely filled with meat and cheese.
EG: What's your favorite food?
Suzilla: I love McDonald's, I love a double cheeseburger, and Olive Garden because they have the never ending pasta bowl. And it's super healthy.
EG: How do you maintain your "compact frame," to quote the New York Times?
Suzilla: I run, run, run, run, run. I probably work out an hour in the morning and then an hour to two hours a night so I run seven to 14 miles a day, plus sit-ups and push-ups. I don't really like weights.
EG: What's the biggest challenge you've ever faced in the competitive eating realm?
Suzilla: The Big Fat Fatty was the only one I couldn't finish. I went out to L.A. by the UCLA campus, there's a sandwich shop there run by three guys, they have this one massive sandwich that they came up with at the end of a cleanse, it's like their wet dream of a sandwich. It has everything.
They say it can feed ten people and if you finish it they'll name a sandwich after you, but you have to do it in 40 minutes, and all I could think was, there's no way I could chew this much in 40 minutes.
EG: What's a regular day's worth of meals for you?
Suzilla: In real life, pretty normal. I had granola for breakfast, green chili and corn bisque soup and chicken salad wrap for lunch, and for dinner I'll probably have pasta because I'm lazy.
EG: What advice would you give to an aspiring competitive eater?
Suzilla: Make sure you have a good workout plan in place because when you eat eight pounds of food you tend to gain eight pounds.
EG: How do people generally react to you as a female at eating competitions?
Suzilla: They don't know what to expect, which is really good for the competition because no one pays attention to the girl. So I just get to win the money. But it's always a look of doubt.
EG: Does a huge appetite run in the family?
Suzilla: I think it might because my dad took used to take my brother and me to a place where they had a fried chicken buffet called Hartz's and my mom would never go because she thought it was disgusting.
EG: What does your family make of all this?
Suzilla: My brother is so proud [laughs]. I feel I've like done really great things in life, I ran a marathon, went to law school, the London School of Economics, and this is the thing that he's most proud of. And then my mom and dad are just like, don't quit your day job.
EG: Among people who know you, is this kind of outsized eating out of character for you?
Suzilla: No, they expect me to do absolutely ridiculous things. It's just my personality, I always like do thing out of the box and toe the line.
EG: What are your hopes for the show?
Suzilla: It was super-fun to do. It could continue but I don't know how likely it is. I have no expectations, it was just fun to do. It's every little's girl dream, to eat for money.
EG: Is there anything you won't eat?
Suzilla: Watermelon Jolly Ranchers and grapefruits. I got grapefruit juice in my eye when I was nine. I've never fully recovered. Watermelon Jolly Ranchers are the worst and smell awful.

Jobs. Jobs. Jobs. That's the hot topic of discussion. Over the past 10 years, we have lost close to 10,000 jobs with the closing of Springs Industries. This has caused great hardship on the local citizens as they scramble to find a replacement for their lost income.
The Lancaster County Economic Development Corp., Lancaster County Council, the city of Lancaster and all of the employment agencies have been working overtime to attract new industries to our county. This is not an easy task, but we continue to go after all those that show an interest in moving here.
A recent front page article said teachers are going to have take one day off with no pay. It is wrong to furlough school teachers for even one day. School teachers have committed their working careers to teaching in public schools. Many of them could have gone into better-paying jobs, but they have chosen to teach the young people in our schools.
The Carolina Thread Trail is in its visionary stage now. How it will develop – even if it will develop – isn't entirely clear now.
But the vision calls for a trail that connects locations in 15 counties in both Carolinas that are popular with tourists, hikers and nature lovers.
Andrew Jackson State Park and Forty Acre Rock preserve, both in Lancaster County, and Landsford Canal State Park, which is situated in both Chester and Lancaster counties, could be destinations included in the Thread Trail.
I have had the pleasure of getting to know Rob McCoy over the last few months. I could tell from the moment I met him that he was an honest, good-hearted person. Rob is also the type of person to stand up for what he believes in and voice his concerns. When he announced that he would be running for the South Carolina House in District 44, I knew that he was the right man for the job. Rob is a proven leader and true conservative. He served for six years in the National Guard and has been an active participant in the TEA Party movement in Lancaster County.
On Feb. 23, Lancaster City Council discussed the annexation of properties on Charles Avenue in Arrowood Estates. City Council wanted to get these properties annexed into the city to start a domino effect that would eventually encompass the entire estate. The vote ended the right way, with a no vote taking the majority. But the way these meetings went were far from comforting.
The Senate has been in session now for about five weeks, or roughly 15 legislative days. In that time, a lot has happened – at least for the Senate.
First off, things move much more slowly in the Senate than the House. Some say this is because the Senate is a more "deliberative body." That may be. More likely, though, the difference is due to the filibuster, which permits a single senator to bring a particular bill to a halt.
I am writing in response to Lynne Carrroll's sarcastic and misleading letter, "Spratt should focus on jobs for constituents," in the Feb. 12 edition of The Lancaster News. The author said she was absolutely infuriated because Congressman Spratt and a delegation of members of the House Budget Committee had traveled to Afghanistan.
This time next year when the 2011 Lancaster County high school spring sports season rolls around, facilities at county schools will be improved. The upgrades can't come quick enough.
Much-needed restroom facilities are scheduled upgrades for softball and baseball fields at the county schools.
Those improvements can only make attending games at those designated sites that much better.

I implement notifications in my IOS app, and I use customized sounds. Everything works fine.
But I'm not sure that this application will validate by apple if I use sounds with a voice that speaks.
For example, in one on my push notification, the sound is a voice that says: "Presence detected"
Someone has already published an application with "voice notification" and not "bipbip" or basic sounds?
Thank you in advance.

COMMENT & ANALYSIS; Politics, Comment and Analysis, Edited by Steffan Rhys
There are only two subjects in the news this week... no not Katherine Jenkins or Gavin Henson... it's the weather and the royal baby.
How very British is it hearing people crying out for a break - even rain - in this oh so un-British heatwave and little wonder the sales of outdoor furniture and barbecues has gone through the roof. Give it another week, and they'll be safely wedged in the back of the shed for another year!
As for that baby, this must by the royal tease of the year, all of the family OUR VIEW knowing the due date but successfully keeping mum barring some devilish hints from the Queen and Camilla.
Royal babies always give the nation a collective fillip - and this one has increased significance given that it will be third in line to the throne whether it is a boy or a girl.
Worldwide the interest in Kate and William's offspring has been immense and there is something rather twee and traditional in the fact that the announcement of the birth will be made first on a notice board on the Palace gates - before bouncing across the world on twitter!
As Kate rests her hot swollen ankles this weekend, we wish her and William a safe and private birth before the world's attention explodes around them.
MUCH has been written about the fact that a significant proportion of the population cannot afford rental housing.
However, state intervention in the form of rent controls will only exacerbate the housing market.
In economics, supply and demand analysis demonstrates that if rents are lowered below the market rate, property owners have less incentive to maintain their properties and may remove them from the rental market altogether. YOUR VIEW As a result, houses may stand idle, be sold to owner-occupiers or be converted into business units. …

Article: Knowledge of and attitudes expressed toward epilepsy by carers of people with epilepsy: A UK perspective[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to investigate the knowledge and attitudes possessed by carers of people with epilepsy. A postal survey of 2000 carers recruited from the membership list of a UK epilepsy charity was conducted using a standard set of questions. The questions covered their knowledge of epilepsy (e.g., estimating prevalence and identifying causes of epilepsy) and their attitudes (e.g., about the characteristics of people with epilepsy). Overall, 651 carers responded. Only 29% of carers were male, with the majority between 40 and 60 years of age. The majority of respondents (76%) overestimated the prevalence of epilepsy. Twenty-five percent believed that epilepsy was caused by stress. The majority of respondents believed that people with epilepsy were treated differently by others. Only a small percentage believed that people with epilepsy should be barred from such professions as teaching and nursing. Carers of people with epilepsy generally possessed high levels of knowledge about most aspects of epilepsy, and their attitudes toward those with epilepsy were benign. There were, however, particular groups who were more likely to hold more positive attitudes, and these included younger and better-educated individuals. Limitations of this study include that the sample was self-selected and that only a third of the people to whom the questionnaire was mailed responded.

EMD Millipore's discovery and development solutions business is now offering genomic biomarker services. Company officials say the purpose is to aid drug companies in targeting patient sub-groups for improved clinical outcomes, understanding drug safety and efficacy, and characterizing tumors. The new qPCR and pyrosequencing-based services add to the company's existing protein- and cell-based solutions, which include ELISA, multiplex, and flow cytometry platforms, as well as its extensive experience in assay development, validation, and sample testings, according to Christina Shasserre, vp of discovery and development.
Researchers at EMD Millipore recently profiled transcription in gefitinib-treated non-small cell lung cancer cells by qRT-PCR. The genotypic and mRNA expression data were then cross-validated with protein expression using flow cytometry and multiplex assays, solidifying the connection between the genotype and phenotype of interest. These types of connections provide confidence to preclinical and clinical decision-makers regarding drug safety and efficacy, continued Shasserre.
"The drug development process is undergoing a paradigm shift from a 'one size fits all' model to 'Precision Medicine,'" says Shasserre. "Genomic information remains a critical part of this transformation. At EMD Millipore, we have the platforms, the scientific expertise and the experience running assays to help our customers develop their genomic biomarkers and enable them to successfully deliver on this new paradigm."
PricewaterhouseCoopers, which estimated the U.S. market for personalized medicine at $232 billion three years ago, projects that this number will grow to as much as $452 billion by 2015.
One theory for explaining "success," put forward by Amy Chua Jed Rubenfeld, posits cultural traits such as a superiority complex, personal insecurity and impulse control. Union College professors Joshua Hart and Christopher Chabris counter that intelligence, conscientiousness, and economic advantage are the most likely elements of success, regardless of ethnicity. Do you think that Hart-Chabris make a better argument for achieving success than the Chua-Rubenfeld theory?

We have talked quite a bit lately about Nathan Myhrvold, Chris Young and their massive, 2400-page "cookbook," Modernist Cuisine (which, I guess, probably isn't the most expensive cookbook ever, but is really up there, with a cover price of $625). The Seattle Food Geek got to take a rare tour of the mad scientist laboratory-slash-kitchen where all the methodology in the book was researched and produced. I found an hour-long lecture given by Myhrvold and Young that roamed wildly, covering everything from dinosaurs and eating dead whales to liquid nitrogen, barbecue and time travel, but covered many of the subjects to be discussed in Modernist Cuisine.
Modernist Cuisine author Nathan Myhrvold making sweet love to a robot
But now, I have some bad news for those of you who've been looking forward to dropping some serious coin on the book the minute it comes out. Or actually, Nathan Myhrvold has some bad news for you. I'll let him deliver it.This was posted yesterday on the Modernist Cuisine website:
"We've been working diligently to get our book done in time to make the 2010 Holiday season, but we have been overtaken by events. Proofreading and correcting 2,400 pages is, as you can imagine, a very big job, and it has been taking longer than we expected to complete that work. Although we are optimistic that we will be able to turn around the remaining galley proofs in less time than the first few volumes required, realistically we are still looking at a few weeks of work ahead of us.
Another source of delay arose when the external packaging for the book--the shipping box and the shock-absorbing pieces inside it that protect the heavy volumes and their slipcase during transit--failed a rigorous series of drop tests. The book is sold as a box set, and we have designed a very impressive slipcase for the books that we haven't discussed in public yet because we need to be certain we can get it to customers in mint condition...At more than 40 pounds (18 kilograms), our six-volume set is well beyond the usual experience of printers, so we had them create a custom-designed box-within-a-box arrangement to serve as the shipping container. Amazon.com offered to put this package, with mock-ups of our volumes inside, through a series of torture tests at their lab. It was a good thing we did this because the prototype failed! Two new packaging options are now being built; they were supposed to arrive some time ago, but these too are taking longer than expected."
Gotcha. Proofreading delays, some kind of mysterious box-construction delay. No problem, Nathan, but what does this all mean?
"All of this is preamble to announcing that we at last have an official publishing date: March 14, 2010. That is more precise, but obviously a bit later, than the December 2010 target we had posted," the release continued. "The biggest concern with the delay is that we will miss the 2010 holiday season, which is a traditional time to give gifts. Of course, the rejoinder is that the holidays come every year, so rather than being just in time for 2010, we will be quite early for 2011. Nevertheless, I personally apologize to everybody who had their heart set on giving the gift of Modernist Cuisine this holiday season."
So, March 14 it is, folks. It gives you a little bit more time to scrape up the pesos and, conveniently, falls just a couple days before St. Patrick's Day, allowing those of us of a particular mindset just enough time to invent various drinking games revolving around the book.
I'm thinking something along the lines of, do a shot every time Myhrvold and Young use the phrase "parametric formulas for fluid gels." Weird thing is, I'll probably be completely hammered before I even get through the first volume.

Nirupama Vaidyanathan doesn't possess the most spectacular of Australian Open records.
In four appearances, there were three losses in the final round of qualifying (one of them, most heartbreakingly, when she had to retire after fracturing her ankle) and one main draw victory in 1998.
And yet when Niru, as she likes to be called, looks back on her tennis career, the Australian Open is not only her favourite event, but also profoundly significant. That victory over world No.92 Gloria Pizzichini marked her first such win at such a high level – and was the first time that any Indian woman had claimed a main draw victory in a Grand Slam tournament.
"I had very good memories of the Australian Open," she relates of the milestone, which attracted much media interest in her homeland.
It says much about the odds that she'd overcome that the achievement was one of the few that caught the attention of her country's national tennis federation, Vaidyanathan receiving her first-ever cheque from them – she recalls it was around $2000 – as a reward for the breakthrough.
But then, with no history of Indian women forging professional careers in the game, it took some hard work for the young Niru to convince her family to allow her to play tennis at all. At first, the focus was on her brother Ganesh, with Niru consigned to picking up balls during practice sessions with their father in Coimbatore, in southern India.
"My dad had no real aspirations for me, because I was a girl," explains the warm and candid Vaidyanathan. "Eventually I got very interested in it and he said 'okay, you can also play' … I wanted to get my Dad's attention all the time, because he was giving more attention to my brother, so I had to do my best to somehow make it count."
Vaidyanathan recalls that she was "not that young as the kids these days" but aged around eight or nine when she started playing tennis seriously. Her father, who'd played state level cricket in India, became her biggest supporter and at age 37, Niru still fondly considers him the most important influence on her career.
In many ways he had to be. While the young Vaidyanathan soon became the most prominent female junior in India, there was no development pathway at all for her to follow. She was a national women's champion at age 14 but the family's only insight into professional tennis was through rulebooks and procedures manuals obtained from the ITF.
Financial limitations meant the only junior events contested were Wimbledon and the French Open. "It was kind of hard because everything was on us," she says. "Everything."
Still, Vaidyanathan is far from bitter or focused on the what-might-have-beens in her playing days, in which she rose to a career high No.123, noting only that had she received the same support of some of her colleagues in the women's game, she "might have" achieved a top 50 ranking.
In one instant she explains that the lack of official support meant virtually every tennis opportunity was of her own creation but in the next, she'll gratefully add that her ambitions were never deliberately thwarted either. "Nobody had ever seen a female tennis player from India so until then, nobody had thought about that process," she reasons.
That focus on the positives makes for some quality reading in Vaidyanathan's recently-released autobiography The Moonballer, which is now available through Amazon Kindle as an e-book or through Angus & Robertson in Australia. Even the title symbolises Niru's "can do" approach in overcoming seemingly impossible odds to achieve her tennis dreams.
"I started tennis moonballing – hitting it nice and high, you know, breaking down an opponent that they get so mad at you that they just give up the match. So many times it happened," she relates with a laugh.
"I wanted to tell people that even if you can start with really modest beginnings you can really get somewhere."
And while her tennis records are unlikely to stand out in the long term, Vaidyanathan will always be the first Indian woman to succeed in the professional game. While reluctant to take any credit for the success of Sania Mirza, who achieved a top 30 ranking in singles and was No.7 in her still-active doubles career, she'll at least concede that she might have made her countrywoman's progress somewhat smoother.
"I would hope so," Vaidyanathan agrees. "I think I kind of cleared a little bit of a path for Sania but she actually is the one who popularised the sport for women in India. While I might have just started the process she did a really good job of it by reaching top 30 in the world."
Vaidyanathan, now married to Sanjeev Balakrishnan and a mother to a daughter, Sahana, has unsurprisingly achieved success in her post-playing days as both a commentator and founder of Niru's Tennis Academy in San Jose, California.
Who knows who she'll inspire next? While she doesn't specifically target girls in her coaching roles, Vaidyanathan admits that "she gets a little bit excited" when she sees one with both the talent and desire to achieve at a higher-level.
Such players would be wise to stick with the former professional as their mentor. As role models go, there are few who have worked so hard for their credentials as Niru.
