Kourtney Kardashian has announced via social media that she is pregnant with her 3rd child. It has been rumored for the past few days on numerous gossip sights but it is now official. Kourtney was actually asked the question about a month ago on her Korky Mary Facebook page about whether or not she wanted to have another baby and she quickly responded that she would love to.
She talks often on her social media pages about how she loves being a mother. She enjoys making dinners for the kids and feels like being a mother is part of who she is and loves having a big family.
This is not necessarily unexpected because she has embraced motherhood and shows it in everything she does. Congratulations to her and the family on this wonderful news.
Kourtney Kardashian is really good when it comes to keeping her fans informed about her life. She is very active on social media and shows her fans that she is approachable in many ways.
The 35 year old Kardashian will be living in Southhampton, New York with sister Khloe while filming "Kourtney & Khloe take the Hamptons". They will be opening the new Dash boutique store.

Suppose that you (and a long list of others on the CC list)
have just received a message with shocking information along with a notice that
you should forward this to all your friends immediately to amuse them, amaze them,
shock them, make them rich, or save them from some horrible fate -- heart attack,
financial ruin, computer virus, legislation proposed by evil politicians.
Before you press the forwarding button to pass this message on
to all your friends please take the time to see if the note is a
hoax, a smear, an urban legend, a Trojan horse carrying a virus, or just another
attempt to create an avalanche of worthless Email.
Let's face it, there are some bad and/or sick people out there
who stay up late nights fabricating almost-believable lies to spread on the Internet.
If it's an unlikely story, check it against the
Mining Company's
list of urban legends.
If it is a virus warning, check it against the one of the following:
the U.S. government's up-to-date list of virus warning hoaxes
Symantec's list
Kumite's list
If it doesn't seem to follow your common sense and understanding
of fair play, question its motives and consider its source. Some people
consider it amusing to create and spread false stories about a political figure
they dislike so as to make them seem foolish or evil. Do not aid and
abet the spreading of such slander by passing it on to others.
It may be harder for you to check the facts than to spread false
witness with a wink and a nod, but you will more respected by yourself and others
for doing so. Consider how you would like this to be done unto you and
check the story before passing it on.
Virus - "A virus commonly inserts itself into other program
files, in the same manner that a virus in nature takes over the apparatus of normal
cells. When the infected program runs, the virus code gets a chance to
inspect its environment and look for and infect new carriers in the form of other
program files. The CIH virus (a k a Chernobyl) is an attacker of this
kind. If a user transmits an infected file to another user, or if infected
storage media move from one machine to another, the virus may spread rapidly.
Worm - "A worm, as defined by some authorities, is a self-replicating
program that does not alter files but resides in active memory and duplicates itself
by means of computer networks. Worms use facilities of an operating system
that are meant to be automatic and invisible to the user. It is common
for worms to be noticed only when their uncontrolled replication consumes system
resources, slowing or halting other tasks.
Trojan Horse - "The most elementary form of malicious code
is the Trojan horse. This kind of program appears to do something useful,
or at least entertaining, such as putting up an attractive screen saver.
Like its legendary namesake, however, a Trojan horse program conceals a destructive
purpose: While running, such a program may destroy files or create a
'back door' entry point that enables an intruder to access your system.
A Trojan horse program does not propagate itself from one computer to another.
You most likely will never get a virus from reading your e-mail
or participating in an on-line conversation. Most dangerous viruses are
spread by infected e-mail attachments that you may accidentally download.
It's the file ATTACHED to an e-mail message that may be infected with a virus.
But it's not unleashed until you DOWNLOAD it, so set your Email system's options so
that it does NOT download attachments and does NOT unzip compressed file attachments
on download. When you are notified that a piece of Email has an attachment,
consider the source of the message and the content (since some viruses may use your
friend's Email list to send you a fake message with an attached virus) before you
decide to download and open or unzip the attachment. The exception to this
are various version of worms (i.e. Beagle, etc.) which can infect your system - if your
system meets their needs. For more information please check the various
security software sites for details.
Attached files may also contain Trojan Horse programs that may
compromise the security of your Email account, contain objectionable graphics, or
damage computer files. No matter how enticing the file or program may
appear, you put yourself and your computer at risk when you download a file from
an unknown source, even if it appears to be some sort of official communication.

I'm running OpenSUSE 12.1 and want to use Java Runtime enviroment v. 1.6. They ask for an ssh-key.
Which package should I take: the proprietary or the open source one?
How would you install it? Via the terminal or via Yast?
Which to use has been debated before - basically, it comes down to the fact that OpenJDK, though backed by Oracle, is a more heavily developed open source project while Oracle's JDK is more stable but is not open source, which prevents its inclusion in a lot of purist distributions like Debian.
To get to the OpenJDK (which actually includes its own JRE), try this:
Oracle's Java is a little harder to get to; this site documents the process fairly well. Because Oracle's Java is not in the repository, however, you don't get automatic updating.

Medication type: Prescription treatment for urinary incontinence (urine leakage).
Active ingredient: Phenylpropanolamine
Dosage form: 25mg-, 50mg-, and 75mg-chewable tablets or a 2-oz bottle of 25mg/ml oral drops.
Manufacturer: PRN Pharmacal (Proin), VPL (Cystolamine)
Major use: This medication is generally prescribed for dogs that "dribble" on their beds or other places in the house due to incontinence. It helps eliminate the frustration of dealing with this messy, annoying situation in your home.
How it works: Phenylpropanolamine increases urethral tone (tightens the bladder sphincter muscle), which controls the opening to the bladder. By increasing urethral tone, the opportunity for urine leakage is greatly reduced. This is especially helpful in female dogs.
Proin works gradually - several days of proper dosing should show a positive effect. While dosages vary, any prescribed dose must be given regularly; missed doses may cause relapses. Long-term use is generally required.
Proin should be used with caution on dogs with conditions such as cardiac disease, high blood pressure, glaucoma, or diabetes. Possible side effects include restlessness, increased heart rate, irritability, hypertension, or difficulty urinating. Consult your veterinarian for additional details on phenylpropanolamine.

History Lessons by Bill Petro
By dcb on Dec 17, 2004
Bill Petro worked for Sun for 11 years in a senior marketing position. He is now with EMC in similar role. However, I only knew him thru a series of automated e-mail notes I get from time to time throughout the year. He has a passion for researching and writing short historical narratives on several topics. One topic that I find interesting is a series called "History of the Holidays". You can sign up so that you get these delivered to your in-box just in time for the specific holiday. Or, you can go here and simply read them on-demand: http://www.billpetro.com/HolidayHistory/
Given the currrent season, here are two examples. A possible scientific explanation for the Christian star of Bethlehem, and the event that is remembered by the Jewish during Chanukah:

I went to NAB this year in Las Vegas and attended the Media Motion Ball, it was great to talk with many people in the industry and eat a delicious meal. One of the highlights was a funny and meaningful speech by Brian Maffitt of Total Training, and it was about the issues that arise when artists starts thinking they know everything. You can imagine the issues that might come up but I won't go into the specifics of the speech because I'll probably screw it up
However, it did remind me of a interesting piece of advice I heard a few years ago…
"Don't let what you think you know, get in the way of learning things you don't."
In other words, if you start to think you know everything about one particular subject, it might be difficult to keep an open mind when it comes to learning new techniques and solutions. When I do VFX work, I always try to think about the objective as freely as possible so I don't get stuck working around a technique that causes problems in other areas of the shot. Not every comp will have the same requirements so it is important to identify all of the problems and objectives so you can design a more efficient solution.
Anyone have an experience or story that might relate?
You Have Low Income - Help. It is absolutely important to make sure the car transport company you are using is fully insured.
You are not only paying for great rates but also paying
for a policy that will help you when you make a claim.
Thank U Mr Kramer.
"It's what you learn after you know it all that counts,"
As Andrew said, every project is different and may require alternative techniques then you may be use to. Technology increases exponentially and because of this almost every project that I do will have some major element that I've never attempted before.
"Don't let your school get in the way of your education" - Mark Twain
Don't take anyones word as the be-all end-all of any subject. Just because it's shown one way by a particular instructor doesn't mean that's the only way to do it. I watch EVERYTHING out there when it comes to motion graphics and 3D tutorials. We get too many reels sent to the studio full of stuff straight from the example files folder. Try to add your touch on any tutorials you do so you can call them your own.
thank you,and wish you happy everyday
Let time win Andrew.
I'm an artist, and it took me years to be become a worker that clients/teachers could actually co-operate with completely. For a long time I truly believed that I was always right, no matter the circumstance. But after months without work, and a period of strict self-analysis, I've come to be an extremely reasonable co-operator, and for that I can now sit down next to people with little to no training (or even a lot) and keep rolling out the results. It's so true that the outcome relies strongly on the communication between client and worker. I sat down for 11 hours straight today (doing After Effects) with 3 different clients that I was trying to please simultaneously, and in all honesty, It was a lot of fun!
You can only really learn as much as you are willing to let go.
Keep the greatness coming Andrew, and the VCP crew.
I'd seriously be in the dust without you.
Knowledge is Power
Power is the sharing of Knowledge.
I am a member of the website Experts Exchange, and am one of their top ASP Classic programmers.
BUT, I have to deal with a LOT of people on that site who think that they KNOW everything, and that YOU should do what THEY tell you.
Needless to say, I DO NOT, I do what feels natural in my work, and I learn from others when I need that little bit of extra help.
About like what I do with my VFX work, If there is something that I do not know or might have forgotten, I will look up Andrew's Tutorials or others, and get back on track.
There for.

I think that it's probably one of the best things I learnt in my career, because when you put it to practice it just "unclocks" your potential.
And what you do -sharing your chops and knowledge instead of holding on to them- is all about that.
Keep on with the good stuff
Best wishes from Argentina!
When I have free time, I like to peruse demo reels to see what other people in the field are up to, and it gives me ideas for new things to try. Usually, i end up finding a couple of things and trying them out as an "I could do that" thing. One effect I came across was a line that animated from a horizontal position to a vertical position and as it rotated up, a line drew from it's far vertex, and text animated to show its angle as it moved up. I thought "hey, dynamic text, that's sweet...I could do that"...
As I started, I quickly realized that there is no keyframing source text (duh...) so in my I know how to do this mode, I figured I'd just link the source text to the rotation value, and voila! It would work. Well, technically it did, but... it gave me the degree value out to like a hundred decimal places. Not what I was looking for. So I searched the web and googled rounding expressions and whatnot, and even asked our graphics guy at work who works with After Effects a lot (but oddly enough...I found out...NEVER uses expressions. Go figure...).
Long story short, it wasn't until I clicked on the expressions language menu button, and then looked under each category that I came across the "javascript math" heading, and found:
After a little experimenting and taking into consideration some tutorials I watched that included simplifying parameters as single variables that I came up with sticking an "x=" in front of the rotation value for the layer, and then adding another line afterwards that simply said mathRound(x);
And wouldn't you know, you picwhip your rotation value with that little number in there and your source text will round to whole number values, and calculate the angle at any given rotation value.
The answer seemed so simple at first, but after giving it a go, I not only gained the knowledge of how to do it myself, which was worth the pride of the work that went into learning it, but added respect to the compositor who made use of that effect (or a similar one) in her reel. But totally, you can't shut yourself off to the possibility that you just don't know how to do something. But equally as important is going digging/experimenting for the answer to go ahead and actually learn it!
Thought I'd share.
Keep thinking and working like you do. You're gonna be the greatest!
Go into projects with that mentality, and don't sit on your past accomplishments and be satisfied with them, think about how you can improve and become better than you already are, reach for the unreachable goal so that you constantly improve.
Personally, the day an artist is "100% satisfied" with themselves or what they've done is the day they stop improving. You should always see ways to improve everything you are doing and have done, and always become better and learn more.
By the way, you've inspired a new generation of designers.
Thanks for helping me pay my mortgage in an enjoyable manner. :)
Then of course...I eventually made the transition and realized how foolish I was for being narrow-minded. I no longer use tables for creating layouts in web design. lol
Anyone know whose quote that is?
I have seen the After effects tutorials that you have created. They are really wonderful. One of my friends told me about your work.
Of all the other tutorials I was fascinated by your Eclipse tutorial. Is it possible in AE to make the text rotate from behind the moon object and come to the foreground??? I've been trying to do this without any fruit.
Thanks again
That would've been friggin awesome, Andrew ;)
Comment on this comment, guys, to show your support! :D
C'mon Andrew, grab that cam. :)
I heard many times that adults can´t learn like children or teenagers anymore.
I don´t want to lose this possibility so I keep up with confronting myself with new stuff.
I think it works! :D
Enjoy your day!

Two more things to add.
Where I've been learning more and more with the tutorials videocopilot.net
It is very important to have people like you in this area, so of disseminating information and techniques learned. Congratulations to all my works are distinguished by virtue of what I learned today with his tutorials.
My site is still off the air due to technical problems, but will soon be normal.

"Your first solution is the wrong solution"
That is because your first solution is going to be the safe one that you are comfortable with, in turn you don't grow and become stale. In order to expand and explore new territories you need to step out of that comfort zone. So throw out your first solution and look for another.
So focused on how to fake it using After Effects & 3DS MAX, we neglected to see the ultimate solution (that we used) to simply use a blowdryer.
Your post reminded me of this and that we need to step back to the simple (like pouring water on concrete instead of trying to create a wet reflection in post ;-)
I started making movies on the Windows Movie Maker. Then, After Effects, then started to learn 3ds Max, then to Boujou, then Adobe Premiere. Day by day, I see a difference in myself.
Thanks to Video Copilot, I'm much more open-minded, and I have more choices. Thank You Video Copilot, specially Mr. Andrew Kramer. Man I feel that I know you from years from the tutorials :D
It's not the best solution to furthering my skillsets, but it's better than nothing.
And everyday I'm looking for more information about new programs plug-ins, or techniques to use known tools.
I hate custard.
Muchas gracias Andrew por todos los tutoriales y buenos consejos. Dios lo bendiga. ¡Saludes desde Honduras!(Thanks Andrew for all your tutorials and good advice. God bless. And as always, greetings from Honduras)
- paraphrased from Socrates
"Wisdom is to know thy self," your strengths and your weaknesses, your expertise and what you lack. Know-it-alls seem to be afraid to admit weakness, to admit that they do not know something (these people also tend to quote a lot of bogus statistics)(quote from Socrates). They also talk a lot. But "tis better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt," according to Abraham Lincoln and Confucius.
We cannot all be experts at everything. I do not do my own car repair nor prescribe my own medication. I have other experts to do that. Similarly, I turn to those who know more or different things that I when I do not have the answer.
Video Copilot has taught me After Effects, and I owe much of my resume to this site!! This is why I am here, to learn. I seek the wisdom of other professionals to guide me when I do not know, and I hope then to guide others with what I do.
Having messed with video editing for a number of years, after effects had always baffled me somewhat. I decided one day to sit down and really dig up some tutorial sites to help me learn this fantastic program.
It was that day video copilot entered my life, and the basic training began... After losing maybe 4-5weeks of my life watching and practising each tutorial from the first basic one through to the latest tut (You had just covered the reflections preset) I decided that it wasa time to actually make some of my own material.
I made a text reveal for my logo which involved it shattering and falling off a wall much like your latest tut and because I thought I knew EVERYTHING I kept to the methods I had been taught by yourself. Needless to say, I just couldn't figure out a decent reveal and resorted to just having text that you COULD see already, which then fell off the wall leaving it blank. (now I know that technique as well, thank you)
I wasn't happy with the result, but due to my single minded approach, and my 'knowledge' that I knew everything I convinced myself there was no other way. And now, coupled with this blog post of yours and the crumbling tut, I have vowed never to fall into this trap again. Thanks Andrew, you are an inspiration.
i'll be 50 this year and switched careers two years ago. i have an endless and near vertical learning curve. never fear change or challenge and keep videocopilot at the top of your bookmarks.
When you're designing, always design with a paper and a pen, then your design won't be swayed by your computer limits or the limits of the software you're using.
those who primarily want to find out and discover truth for themselves
and those who's motivation lies in the glee of holding that knowledge over others
Im pretty sure most people know of the latter guy...
When you are 17 you are amazed at how little your Father knows.
When you are 27 you are amazed at how much your Father has learned in the past 10 years.
So called " KNOW IT ALLS " may talk alot of trash and alot of them do it alot, but there are some who has the knowledge and confidence to back it up. So while there are people critizing them for being so confident abt wat they do know, they're studying wat they dont. i know people who are like this and yea at times i wanna kick their asses for being like that, but other times i just cant help but admire how confident some people are.
Coming from one who knows (hehe), it is a disability.
Yes I study, and have learned A LOT. I have landed a pretty sweet job in post-production because of it. But I do recognize that it is a weakness, and something I work on daily.
I am grateful for those who know a whole lot more than I do to put me in my place.

Anyway thanks Andrew, every blog help me a lot ! THANKS ANDREW!!!!!!!
From Laos developing country, without any VFX or CG school .
"Never, ever, ever stop learning!"
Anyway, this is true - no one EVER knows everything. it's just how life's going...
Keeping your head down and doing the work, will take you that much farther in a job. More importantly, you have to decide who's definition of success you are living by. If you don't keep an eye on it and continually setting and redefining your goals, you may find you are living by someone else's.
Conventional wisdom says work your way up to management. Suprisingly, many people I know realized that they preferred staying where they were: learning and making creative. Management while it seems powerful is exactly the opposite creatively. But that is OK if that is what you want.
Learning is the key to everything, I myself quit my job to pursue my passion, directing. I still freelance to make ends meet, but the biggest reward is that it has left me more time to learn VFX, make short films and learn a new language. To live life.
While we definitely need to learn what buttons to push to create these things, just is important is to learn from life. Not just to look at things for reference, but to get out in the world and interact with others. Find out why they like what they like. Focus groups will never replace this real and valuable knowledge.
So, sit at your computer and make this beautiful stuff, but get out there and learn from the people you are making it for. Your work will be better for it.
See - Andrew's giving stuff away for "free," but when I go out and buy Andrew's products - and I have - I don't see it necessarily as free anymore. Not that I mind - he's earned it by doing so. He's taking a risk by doing the tutorials for free but I would think there's a decent return on investment for him.
Keep it up Andrew!
- Major FX
Last week I was shooting a documentary with a Sony EX3 and an Aja KiPro ProRes Recorder. Great pieces of gear. I used hypergammas on the camera and recorded the footage in ProRes 422HQ.
The two things I didn't know back then while I thought I did was :
1) EX3 has rolling shutter issues ! (CMOS...)
2) The camera LCD sucks.
It is basic stuff but I remember some shots outdoor where it was impossible to get the subject properly exposed and not to have a white sky. Even with the good hypergamma. The director said "ok let's do it anyway". When I watched the ProRes footage... Tadaaaaa the sky is blue I can see some clouds.
Anyway... Great post Andrew... ^^
I really know, what it means. Sometimes you need to experiment with new things - for example when you learn html and do the switch to modern xhtml/css. That was difficult for me too, but you have so much more freedom if you just get it.
Eat a burger at carls jr for me!
I was a traditional graphic designer until I stumbled across VideoCopilot. Since then, the agency I work for has expanded what we offer our clients to TV spots we produce and edit in house. This was based on the notion that I could teach myself the software and expand my graphic and technical horizon - Andrew, you gave me that confidence, the confidence to tell my employers that I think I can produce spots that both our agency and our clients will be proud of.
Thanks for what you do.
Like Daniel said, thanks for what you do Andrew (and assorted friends). We all really appreciate it and benefit from it. :D
Another service that we're now offering, because of AE and Andrew, is LED VideoReaderboard animations.
Why do I feel like my agency should be cutting a check to Andrew as I type this?
Thanks Andrew, it's great to take a step back and look at what we're doing as a whole sometimes.
Thanks for the advice!
I spoke with you right in fron of the Adobe Booth
Heyyy are you Andrew Kramer hahah
God Luck Bud, i've lerning with you since 2006
Thanks alot
Good work. I would strongly recommend humbling oneself. Be patient and determined.

Both Bieber and his friend Khalil Sharieff are seen in the photo, which was reportedly taken at a recording studio in Los Angeles.
TMZ broke the story and posted the image of the two artists both holding the woman at the same time.
Is seems like Bieber has lost all regard for his younger fans who are certainly not old enough to view these types of images.
Bieber's manager Scooter Braun, joined by Usher, recently had a talk with the singer, whom he told that he should either quit music or get his act together before it's too late.
This weekend Bieber, along with the rest of his team plans to enjoy the Super Bowl, as he was spotted at an ESPN party flipping off paparazzi as they tried to snap pictures.

College Hockey:Wisconsin Rallies Past Michigan in Camp Randall Hockey Classic
Second largest crowd in college hockey history
MADISON, Wis. — When he sits his grandkids down years from now to tell them about the Camp Randall Hockey Classic, junior Brendan Smith knows exactly what he's going to tell them.
"That we had 55,000 fans and we beat Michigan," the frostbitten defenseman said. "I think those are the first two things I'd say."
It's ironic, because the massive attendance will tell their kids about Smith's heroics and how he made the chilly temperatures bearable.
Mere minutes after Michigan took its first lead of the evening, Smith answered twice on back-to-back power plays in the waning minutes, giving Wisconsin a 3-2 victory in front of 55,031, the second highest total in collegiate hockey history.
"The biggest outdoor party-celebration-festival in Wisconsin history probably took place in Camp Randall tonight watching a hockey game," UW coach Mike Eave said. "That's pretty cool."
After the power play had short circuited Wisconsin (16-7-4) over the last three weeks (going 2-of-25 in the last three series), the Badgers spent the majority of practice Wednesday and Thursday on their special teams, or as Smith called it, 'going back to the drawing board.'
That led to an adjustment on Wisconsin's final two power plays in the third period. With the Badgers down 2-1, Wisconsin overloaded one side with Smith (six power-play goals) in the slot and senior tri-captain Blake Geoffrion (10 power-play goals), ready at the back door, forcing the weakside forward to pick a target.
Both times he picked Geoffrion and both times he picked wrong, leaving Smith unmarked and with an alley.
"If we weren't for the penalties, we'd be sitting here talking about a victory," Michigan coach Red Berenson said. "You really have to do a good job (against UW on the penalty kill) and we didn't."
Senior Michael Davies found Smith open in the slot at 14:28 and the junior beat Michigan goalie Bryan Hogan (24 saves) to tie the score at two, just 10 seconds after the power play commenced.
"The first one, I was just really lucky," Smith said. "I may have hit the guy's shoulder and it went in. The first one was more a close-your-eyes-and-shoot one."
The second power-play tally wasn't as complicated for Smith, who had a scoring lane to fire through and more time to get some power behind the shot, scoring the game winner at 18:38 in the final period. When Michigan (16-13-1) was whistled for its third penalty in the final six minutes, the Wolverines never amounted a solid opportunity to attack the Badgers.
"We made an adjustment and we executed at a critical time, which says a lot about the guys on our team," Eaves said. "You've got to find the answer to the riddle, and we stayed with it."
Much like their outdoor event at Lambeau Field four years ago (a 4-2 UW win), Wisconsin made sure the crowd had something to cheer about in the opening minutes. Freshman Craig Smith, who watched that game from the 50-yard line four years ago, made a beautiful move around Michigan defender Chad Langlais and fired from the goal line on Hogan.
The puck slipped through his pads and sat right in the crease for Jordy Murray, who banged home the loose puck at 3:04.
"It was kind of a fluky goal, but on that ice you take whatever comes," Murray said. "It's just crashing the net and it popped right to me. I was just ecstatic at that point."
Wisconsin outshot Michigan 13-6 and nearly got out of the first period unscathed when Scott Gudmandson stopped Scooter Vaughn's initial shot from point-blank range. It was a shock to him when he realized the puck had gotten loose and Vaughn knocked in his own rebound at 18:53 in the first.
"It was a good goal," Vaughn said. "The second effort was there and it was a good goal by our line."
Wisconsin missed a great chance to tie when Davies knocked one off the post on a breakaway midway through the second period, a miss that looked like it was going to prove costly when freshman Kevin Lynch scored the go-ahead goal at 11:03 in the final period, throwing a dart from well beyond the right circle that Gudmandson lost in the crowd.
"I want to have that one back, but we learned a lot about ourselves in battling back and our guys showed some resolve," said Gudmandson, who made 22 saves in winning his ninth game of the season. "It was an unbelievable experience, and the fans coming out here in the cold made it worthwhile."
Ten weeks ago, Wisconsin couldn't wait to play Michigan again. The Wolverines, a team that mirrors the Badgers in style and physicality, nipped Wisconsin, 3-2, to give the host the extra motivation to make the Camp Randall Hockey Classic a special endeavor.
"The way (that we won) made this game so special," said senior tri-captain Ben Street. "It feels so good because it wasn't easy. We had to work really hard for it. It's nice to get redemption, but no matter who it was, we wanted to win this game. It just worked out that it was Michigan."
The game didn't go off without a couple of hitches. Rink officials were forced to come out a half dozen separate times to repair the ice around Hogan's crease and the brisk wind from the north made the 19 degree temperature feel like it was well into the single digits. In the end, they were moot points.
The last time Wisconsin hosted an outdoor game, it gave the Badgers enough momentum down the stretch for the school to claim their sixth national championship, something Street knows quite well. After this event, Street's hopeful that the end results are identical.
"This is one of those games that will really help us further on in the year," he said. "It's a huge game, a huge stage. It's easy to get nervous and tense up in the end, and we didn't. We stayed persistent, and we came back and won. Winning a game like that is what it will take in the end."

Kerala, known as "God's own country", is the epicenter of the growing Ayurvedic tourism industry in India. Ayurveda as a system of health and wellness has been around for hundreds - some say thousands - of years. Resorts catering to tourists who wish to experience Ayurveda, however, are a bit newer than that.
One such resort, Nikki's Nest (named after the founders' daughter), offers courses of treatment that range from 10 to 28 days in length, depending on the health issues one wishes to address. The most typical courses last 14 days, which fits neatly into the holiday schedule of the many Europeans who return, year after year, for cleansing, rejuvenation, and sunshine by the seaside.
Treatment courses include consultations with Ayurvedic physicians, herbal medications, therapeutic massage, and - very important - diet. Family members who are not undergoing treatment are invited to accompany those who are, and avail of the lovely beach location, tours, poolside lounging, and delicious food.
On the first day, clients attend an individual session with staff doctors to determine their dosha - "mind-body constitution" or "mind-body personality" - as well as discuss the issues to be addressed. All aspects of treatment strive to bring one back into balance. Once a person's dosha is known, medications, food, even the type of herbal tea offered at every meal, are determined.
The weather of Kerala is hot and humid for much of the year. Traditionally, Ayurveda was performed during the two monsoon seasons of the region. This was the time when the fields were not being tended, and the workers could afford to pamper themselves. It is also the cooler time of the year, though that is a relative term. Many Europeans still find it warmer than home climates.
A typical day at a resort starts with breakfast, followed by yoga (if desired) or other physical activity, a therapeutic massage with appropriate herbs and oils, lunch, rest, and dinner. Sunbathing at the beach or by the pool is interspersed regularly with these activities, at the visitor's discretion. Treatment times may vary depending on preference or local tour plans, so lunch sometimes precedes the daily massage. Although tours and shopping excursions can be arranged by the resort, they are not heavily promoted since rest is an important aspect of any detoxing regimen. Activity levels can plummet due to the change in temperature and the effects of the treatments.
The idea of receiving a daily massage may at first sound quite indulgent, but they are an important part of the overall treatment plan. While aspects are certainly designed to help one relax, massages are most definitely curative in character, rather than leisurely. Clients may be anointed with oil, scrubbed with herbal powder, or even rubbed with bags of rice pudding. The therapists work solo or in tandem with an assistant depending on the type of massage. Men always work on men, and women work on women.
Types of massage and medication may change as the program progresses. A client wishing to lose weight, for example, may receive both general and powder massages for the first week, with a day of purgation - light fasting with herbal supplements to cleanse the bowels - followed by different types of oil massages the next week. Mood and energy fluctuate as unwanted substances leave the body.
One of the most amazing and best aspects of the treatment is the food. Despite being locked into a diet plan by one's dosha, typical Kerala dishes provide an endless variety of delicious, local fruits and vegetables, frequently served in fantastic curries. Nearly all Ayurvedic courses prescribe a vegetarian menu, but with the incredible flavors available, most carnivores will not miss meat in the slightest. Nor do those on weight loss regimens suffer, as three full meals per day - when the food is correct for one's body type - still result in shedding of unwanted pounds. Eating for body type and avoiding processed foods have wonderful effects on the body, even without the herbs and massages.
If you want to include Ayurveda in your travels to India, it is recommended that you schedule it for the last portion of your trip. Venture forth to see the Taj Mahal, Hampi, wildlife, and culture at the outset. Save Ayurveda for the end in order to give your full attention to relaxation. Enjoy the wonderful weather, the salt air, and care you give yourself. Your body - and perhaps your soul - will thank you for it.
Disclosure: author had accommodations, meals, and a full course of Ayurvedic treatment provided by Nikki's Nest. Opinions, however, are her own.

Your dream starts here! Hundreds of destinations and thousands of holidays to choose from. All our holidays are provided by lowcostholidays.com
If you've got a passion for raisins then the family resort of Denia in the north of the Costa Blanca region is the place for you. It was once the centre of the region's raisin industry and it remains justifiably proud of its raisin production. It is fitting that such a healthy snack is the local delicacy - the area around this quiet little town was voted the third healthiest place to live by the World Health Organisation. It is served by Alicante airport, which is only around a two and a half hour flight from the UK. Holidays to Denia are perfect for families and tourists of all ages who want a taste of Spanish history (as well as a few raisins) and offer culture, relaxation, activity and entertainment.
The ancient town of Denia houses an eleventh century castle, where you can learn about the history of the area. The breath-taking views of the sea, the city and the countryside alone are more than enough motivation for booking a holiday to Denia.
For most visitors, a Denia holiday revolves around the beach. The beaches are separated by a harbour - the north side beaches are considered to be livelier than the quiet beaches on the south side. To work out which you prefer, take the time to visit the expansive, sandy Les Marines on the north side, and then check out the turquoise waters and small coves of Les Rotes beach on the south side. Of course, there's no rule to say you can't love both!
Raisins alone won't give you the strength for sightseeing and exploring during your holiday in Denia, head to the quirky little restaurants one street back from the seafront to sample some rather more filling local delicacies. A holiday in Denia isn't complete without at least one helping of paella, made with locally caught seafood. A glass or two of chilled cava is perfect to wash it down. If you are looking for some lively typically British style partying the Costa Blanca town of Benidorm is only 50km away.
The marina in Denia has recently undergone an impressive facelift and has a choice of bars, cafes and restaurants offering culinary treats from across the world as well as plenty of authentic Spanish cuisine. If you fancy an action-packed holiday there are fishing trips, pleasure rides and windsurfing lessons which can be booked from the marina.
If you fancy venturing a little further afield during your holiday in Denia you can take a boat trip to the nearby Balearic Islands Ibiza and Majorca. Click here for further information on of things to do on holiday in Ibiza and a holiday in PalmasThere are many other exciting destinations in close reach of Denia, and if you have the time during your holiday you should definitely explore further afield. Alicante is only 90km away. Valencia at 105km is slight further afield but is a must see – it has been voted by the Lonely Planet Guide 2011 as one of the top ten cities to visit.
With a warm, temperate climate, an average annual temperature of around 20C and over 300 days of sunshine each year, a holiday in Denia will definitely put a smile on your face. Choose from a range of Denia holidays with lastminute.com and look forward to fun holiday in Spain.

Philly Fair Trade Roasters specializes in small-batch organic 100% Arabica coffee, hand-roasted on a daily basis for maximum freshness. Our artisanal coffee can be found at select Philadelphia area cafes, premier restaurants, and farmers markets.
Our roastmaster, Joe Cesa, has been micro-roasting coffee in Philadelphia since 2002, previously as the proprietor of the first fair trade café in the city, Joe Coffee, at 11th and Walnut streets. We're now roasting in the Feltonville section of North Philly, original home of Philly's Goldenberg Peanut Chews.
bird-friendly, shade-grown, sustainable business practices live here!
Our coffee is sourced from fairtrade certifiedTM cooperatives in Honduras, Mexico, Ethiopia, Peru, Colombia, and elsewhere. We are committed to sustainable business practices: We produce less than 20 pounds a month in rubbish--recycling/composting/repurposing as much as possible! Even our packaging is in recyclable/compostable bags made with vegetable-based cello and recycled kraft paper--perfect for a fresh product to be consumed in a few weeks--not stored for months. We deliver to our wholesale accounts using plastic reusable tubs, reducing their trash as well.
We support our producers' organic and bird-friendly practices, ensuring that farmers work in environmentally-healthy communities and paid more for their crop than they would receive from normal trade channels. The few selections we buy via direct trade are from totally transparent sources, assuring us the extra premiums paid are going directly to the producers--in their pockets, invested in their areas' infrastructure, and washing stations for coffee production. We're making a difference--with your patronage--one cup at a time.

I'm having a clear out, to try to raise some funds to pay off some credit cards
I'm currenlty selling a PC on eBay, and have been contact by a few buys from Africa (Zambia if it makes any difference)
They seem incredibly keen to purchase my items, and are willing to pay whatever postage costs.
Being a bit of a sceptic wherever money is concerned, I'm wondering if this could be a potential hazard? Couple of things spring to mind
- They just wont pay and I will have to re-sell
- They will cough up, but import taxes/postage will cause me problems
- Potential market for used PCs, retrieving data from disks for identity/financial fraud
Can anyone comment on this?

Technology lets me down
By christophersaul on Oct 31, 2006
Technology's let me down twice today.
First off the Jeep's battery was completely dead this morning, so I had to get a taxi to work. Car batteries here seem to last for about a year and a half and then die without any warning. Not Jeep's fault though.
Secondly, the joystick on my borrowed K750i has suddenly stopped working. Frequent blog readers of mine are entertained, I know, by my regular postings on the twin themes of electrical plugs and on Sony's shortcomings. This may be the last straw for Sony as far as I'm concerned. Time to return to the Nokia fold, or buy a Motorola to demonstrate my role as a standard bearer for standard cabling across multiple vendors.
I've never really liked Motorola phones - I don't like clamshells and their normal phones come across as a bit girly. A Nokia it will have to be, unless a Sony exec wants to give me a new joystick free phone to placate me. One that uses the same data cables I already have. And will use the Memory Stick Pro cards I already have. And the earphones I already have. And the chargers too.
Looks like I'll be getting a Nokia.

ATLANTA, GA (May 21, 2014) – Enduring Hearts, a nonprofit organization that awards operating grants to established members of academic staff at universities, transplant centers, and research institutes for research projects in organ transplantation, announced today the approval of their first research grant of approximately $25,000 to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and Emory University. The research will focus on Chimerism of Cardiac Myocytes in a transplanted heart.
"Through Enduring Heart's research grant, we hope to gain a better understanding of the transplant recipient's contribution to a transplanted heart, which will help us identify new targets for therapies that would prolong the life and quality of these transplanted organs and the patients themselves," said Shriprasad Deshpande, M.D., M.S., Pediatric Cardiologist and Associate Director of Mechanical Circulatory System Program at Children's Sibley Heart Center and Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Emory University.
Enduring Hearts seeks to enhance lives by funding research to increase the longevity of organ transplants. The results of the funded research projects will contribute to the knowledge about many aspects of the clinical and scientific transplantation, including the mechanisms of long-term organ deterioration, the consequence of tissue injury and the opportunities to intervene in these processes.
"Thanks to the support of everyone who believes in our cause, we are pleased to announce that Enduring Hearts is funding its first research effort to improve the long-term outcomes of pediatric transplant recipients like our daughter Mya," said Patrick Gahan, Treasurer of Enduring Hearts.
A transplanted heart is very unique in how it 'adopts' to a new body; quite unlike any other transplanted organ. The new host contributes very little to ongoing upkeep and repair of a transplanted heart. This limits to a large degree how long the transplanted organ is able to survive. The host, however, does play major role in rejecting the organ via immunologic mechanisms as well as the aging process via development of coronary blood vessel disease.
"Our understanding of the host contribution to the transplanted heart is very limited and derived from some very basic studies," said Deshpande. "Here, we are attempting to answer these questions using state of art research tools."

This little incident was brought to my attention today by someone from my comments section.
First the Video:
Now in order for me to tell you this story the proper way, I will have to link to a homosexual advocacy blog. Now keep in mind, this site has images on it, mostly in the sidebars that some, if not all, Christians will find to be extremely offensive; so consider this your official content warning. Having said all that, here is the story via Towleroad:
A student at Union-Scioto High School in Chillicothe, Ohio was brutally beaten this week by another student for being gay. Class members watched as the bully waited for the student to arrive in the classroom, grabbed him, pushed him to the ground and punched him in the face several times.
Another student recorded the assault on his cell phone. The video was posted to Facebook.
The bully had harassed the gay student (who has not been identified) on Facebook a few days earlier, writing, as the comment on a photo of him: "You fag. Check out the definition of a fag."
According to an email received by Towleroad from Equality Ohio, "The victim has suffered a possible concussion and dental damage. The attacker was suspended from school for just three days. "
Sorry, but that is unacceptable; three days for what this student did to another student for being gay? I am sorry, but as much as I find homosexuality to be a repulsive lifestyle; I find this punishment to be overly lenient. Even if the kid was taunting the other kids or teasing them because of their homophobia — three days for that sort of a beating is a bit light. Furthermore, I believe the student should have assault charges filed against him.
Now, let me be clear, I do not believe that there should even be hate crime laws on the books. As I am someone who does not believe in any sort of entitlement for any special group, race, religion or creed — and yes, even sex or sexual preference. I am libertarian-minded Conservative. A libertarian-minded conservative who happens to believe in the right of the individual to be what he or she wants to be without fear of oppression of any sort by anyone else. Because of this, I believe that this young man who inflected this sort of physical pain on this young man — regardless of his sexual orientation — should prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Again, to be clear, as a Born-Again Christian — I do not support homosexuality, as my Bible condemns it in the Old Testament and in the New Testament as well. However, in a Free Republic such as ours, the individual right of a human being is something that should not be violated. When this young man inflicted physical pain on this young man, he violated that principle; for this, he should be punished.
Furthermore, I find it quite offensive that it is being insinuated in various quarters that Christians, like myself; would advocate the sort of horrific violence against someone who partakes in this sort of sexual lifestyle. I want to be the first, if not the only, Christian and Conservative that says that no one, who partakes in this sort of violent behavior, is a Christian. Christians believe in praying for those who are gay, not beating them up. Anyone who says or believes otherwise are mistaken or a complete buffoon. Biblical rhetoric is one thing, actual physical abuse is another, and anyone who crosses that line, should be put in jail for a very long time.

The Stanley Cup finals are old hat for the Los Angeles Kings by now. However, the 2014 Stanley Cup finals carry different expectation for the Kings than two years ago. While Los Angeles was a slight underdog to the New Jersey Devils back then and had to start on the road, now it faces the New York Rangers for a home Game 1 on June 4 and is a heavy favorite -- which may benefit New York more than anyone.
The Rangers could have faced the Kings in the 2012 finals, yet the Devils upset them for the Eastern Conference crown. Until now, that was their best shot at a Stanley Cup since their legendary 1994 title run. But on the 20'th anniversary of that curse destroying postseason, the Rangers have finally returned to the Stanley Cup finals.
Despite having played 20 games and two Game 7's to get here, New York still hasn't had the grueling postseason Los Angeles had. The Kings survived a 3-0 deficit to the San Jose Sharks, a 3-2 deficit to the Anaheim Ducks, nearly blowing a 3-1 lead over the Chicago Blackhawks and three road Game 7's -- the last one being in overtime at Chicago -- to get here.
The end result still has the Kings back in the finals, against another opponent from the New York area. Instead of combating an aging Martin Brodeur on his last Stanley Cup run, Los Angeles has to face the red hot Henrik Lundqvist in net. Given the struggles of 2012 Conn Smythe winner Jonathan Quick, the Kings may have to rely on hot scorers like Anze Kopitar, Marian Gaborik, Jeff Carter and Justin Williams to take this Cup.
Since home ice in the Stanley Cup finals is at Los Angeles, and since the Kings are the favorites for once, this is technically uncharted territory for the Western champions. Los Angeles jumped ahead in 2012 with two road overtime wins at New Jersey, while this year's New York team has won two straight road Game 1's in this postseason. By that pattern, the Kings may be lucky to get to Madison Square Garden -- and back to the road ice advantage they've always loved -- with a split in L.A.
The Kings and Rangers kick off the Cup finals at 8 p.m. est on NBC.

Duke Ellington: Flamingo
Duke Ellington
Ebony Rhapsody: The Great Ellington Vocalists (RCA 63863)
Herb Jeffries (vocals), Rex Stewart (cornet), Wallace Jones (cornet), Ray Nance (cornet), Joe "Tricky Sam" Nanton (trombone), Lawrence Brown (trombone), Juan Tizol (trombone), Otto Hardwick (clarinet, alto sax), Johnny Hodges (alto sax), Barney Bigard (clarinet), Ben Webster (tenor sax), Harry Carney (baritone sax), Billy Strayhorn (piano), Jimmy Blanton (bass), Sonny Greer (drums).
Arranged by Billy Strayhorn. Composed by Edmund Anderson & Ted Grouya.
Recorded: December 28, 1940
Rating: 94/100 (learn more)
In 1940, the star of such Westerns with a black hero as Bronze Buckaroo (1938) and Harlem Rides the Range (1939) became the hippest singing cowboy ever by joining Duke Ellington and charting with "Flamingo." Herb Jeffries was a far yodel from Gene Autry. For rounding up lonesome dogies, Autry's hayseed tenor was fine. But Herb's manly baritone rounded up more doggone ladies than would fit in the O.K. Corral. (Not that ladies should be kept in a corral, mind you. It's just a figure of speech.) Apart from short solos by trombonist Brown and altoist Hodges, this track belongs to Jeffries—and to Billy Strayhorn, whose vibrant orchestration befits one of the world's most colorful birds.

PANAMA CITY, Fla. — Al Adcock has been named vice president of sales and marketing for industrial laundry equipment manufacturer B&C Technologies, the company reports, succeeding Bill Rhymer, who is retiring after eight years with B&C.
Rhymer has 48 years of experience in the laundry industry, having worked for several different manufacturers, the company reports.
"We are very thankful for Bill's contributions to B&C and hope he enjoys his retirement," says Bengt Bruce, president of B&C Technologies.
"I am leaving B&C with mixed emotions," says Rhymer. "They have excellent products and services, and I will sorely miss the camaraderie of my fellow employees. On the other hand, I relish the opportunity to be free of the daily grind and be able to get out on the road again to visit my friends and family."
Rhymer thanked the Bruce and Cowen families for their support.
Adcock has been with the company since B&C Technologies began, starting as an engineer before becoming technical manager. His background in the laundry industry began in 1992, and he has been "instrumental in the design of several machines on the market."
"Having someone who completely understands the mechanics of the equipment on our sales team is a huge asset," says Bruce. "Al has been a vital part of B&C, and we are excited to have him in this position."
"I'm looking forward to the challenge and continuing the success of B&C Technologies," says Adcock.
