It seems these days that some barbecue grills just weren't built to last. Shoddy parts, faulty designs and rust are all major flaws in your grilling equipment. Especially if you don't take care of your stuff! Enough sounding like your grandparents, but, most of what they said is basically true.
It's that time of year when the barbecue grills and smokers begin their march from the back of the garage to front stage on the patio. The weather here in the Frozen Tundra (aka Michigan) has started to cooperate just a bit and unleashing these beasts is the first step to tantalizing your taste buds and entertaining friends.
The second step would be to field check your grill:
- Does it have all four legs?
- Is the bottom rusted out?
- Are there still handles attached?
If you find yourself needing a new grill, try doing a little investigation before you take the plunge. Keep in mind you get what you pay for here in America and when it comes to purchasing a good barbecue grill, spending a few extra dollars now will serve you better in the long run. Buying a small no name charcoal grill and hoping it will last a few years versus buying a nice one, keeping it maintained and making it last for many years is an easy decision.
Your local hardware store or home improvement center will have grills on the showroom floor for you to look over. Talk to the salesperson and be direct in what you want in a grill. Ask questions and they will be more than happy to go over your options. Do some research on the internet to explore the different grill models and barbecue set-ups.
Research some things like:
- Should I buy a charcoal, propane or natural gas grill?
- How much room do I have for the new grill?
- Do I need a rotisserie setup?
- Is there a side burner and storage?
- What type of grate should the new one use?
- What price range fits my budget?
Here are a few websites that may make your decision a little easier:
- Char-Broil – These grills are the most widely popular here in the states. The products range from charcoal or propane grills to a very nice Tru-Infared system. The Tru-Infrared grill uses less fuel, allows for faster cooking times, makes it easy to smoke with wood chips, makes juicier food, and limits the flare-ups.
- Brinkmann – These folks have a plethora (that's right pleth-o-ra) of outdoor cooking products. Their internet showroom has charcoal smokers, propane grills, tabletop units and many other cooking accessories. A little more money, but you are paying for quality.
- Weber – Charcoal, propane, Weber-Q series, smokers, portable units and even an electric setup are the products presented here at the Weber website. Be sure to watch out for the Weber Grill Center, because this structure could make you want to re-finance the house for that bad boy.
Now for the outrageous cooking products:
- Bull BBQ Depot – Got an extra few thousand dollars lying around the house?
- Big Poppa Smokers – Got that craving for a huge smoked hunk of beef or pork? Be sure to bring your wallet!
- Woodland Direct – This site has it all!
- Viking – These are for the rich bastards that don't need it, but can afford it.
Now that you have some of the facts, go find a grill that matches your needs. Actually, many of you could cook a perfect steak with a couple bricks, a grate and some firewood, however, what you are actually looking for is convenience with all the bells and whistles without taking out a loan!
Smoke 'em if you got 'em and don't forget your bib.

It has been a full morning. The advanced level ballet students have already completed a ballet technique class as well as a turns and jumps session. After lunch they will have classical variations class and finish out the day with a lesson on stage make-up application. Tomorrow it will begin all over again, although the class content will vary slightly. After ballet technique they will have a jazz class followed by stretch and strength and goal setting classes. This routine will continue six days a week from 10:30 am to 4:30pm for six weeks.
For many teenagers summer is a time to relax, regroup, and get some rest before having to get back to their busy school and sports schedules. However, this is not the case for the young ballet dancers of Studio Roxander. For them, summer means the start of a vigorous period of dance training. It is a time to focus solely on the advancement and achievement of their ballet goals and it gives the students a chance to do some cross training that they do not have time for during the fall and winter months. The studio offers classes in character dance, jazz, and yoga in order to give the dancers the opportunity to increase their skills and experience the positive effects cross training has on their ballet development.
The summer intensive results in noticeable growth in the students as they make advancements in refining their dancing. But their relationships with each other also grow during this time, the common zeal for attaining similar goals bringing them closer together. Even though they are with one another almost constantly, at week's end, it is not uncommon to find more than half a dozen student's gathered at one of the dancer's houses to hang out and swim together. Although swimming is suppose to be a chance to unwind, they rarely refrain from practicing the petite allegro from technique class that morning while under water, laughing as they float through the rapid combination in slow motion. Even outside of the studio, they never tire of talking about dance because their passion for the art form is shared by all present.
Not only does this summer intensive prepare ballet students to head with determination into the winter season, it establishes friendships and leaves the dancers with memories that will not be soon forgotten.

Some people believe that you can learn more from failure than success. But not every failure is a learning experience.
I believe that you can learn a great deal more from success than from failure.
Here's why: knowing what not to do helps you focus and avoid setbacks, but doesn't help you adapt to changes. You know what didn't work – does that help you next time when you need to figure out what will work?
If you ask successful entrepreneurs whether they would rather hire someone who has failed or someone who has succeeded, I suspect most would prefer to hire the person who has succeeded. This is not surprising – scientific research shows that we learn more from success than from failure.
I would go even further. Some people are successful because they can repeatedly perform a task well. Others are successful because they know how and why something works. Hire people who know how and why something works, not just those who know how to do something.
If you're looking for a marketing person to focus on SEO, you may be looking for someone with prior SEO experience. You can talk to thousands of people with SEO experience, many of whom will know the basics of SEO because they've helped other companies with SEO strategies. But you'll be hard-pressed to find many people who truly understand how and why SEO works.
We've made the mistake at crowdSPRIGN hiring people who knew how to do certain things well. Unfortunately, those people could not scale as our company scaled.
Knowing how to do something is important, but it is limiting.
When you know how to do something, you have a skill that you can replicate to do the same thing again and again. But when you understand how and why something works, you not only have a skill, but you also can adapt your skill to changing situations.
In our SEO example, the person who understands how and why SEO works will be able to help you when search engines start making regular major SEO-related algorithm changes. The person who merely knew how to implement SEO will hit a wall – they will have a tough time adapting to the changes.
Learn to repeat your successes, not your failures. Failure is overrated.

A little speechless after hearing this live acoustic. Dutch singer/songwriter iET paired up with one of our favorite newer voices Szjerdene for her new single "Stay" (Save Me). There is not one time we can listen to Szjerdene's voice and not get shivers all through our body. iET's rich and warm vocals are similarly impactful, cocooning around you and providing comfort on a cold day. Gorgeous minimal folky track all around.

Let us consider a matrix superalgebra $A$ with generators satisfying $[L_a,L_b]=i L_c f^c{}_{ab}.$ The generators are matrices on which supertrace is defined bu the usual trace on the bosonic part minus the usual trace on the fermionic part.
But then let $\pi : A \longrightarrow gl(V)$ be a representation of the superalgebra. We know that an invariant form in this representation is given by $B_{ab}=\mathrm{STr}(\pi (L_a ) \pi (L_b))$, but I don't understand how the supertrace is defined in the representation. In other words, what is $\mathrm{STr}(\pi (L_a ))$ ?

Who Will Pay For BAA's Winter Investment Plan?
The heavy snowfall in December saw airport operator BAA being criticized for its poor ability to clear snow and deal with passengers at London's Heathrow airport.
Even IATA's CEO and Director General Giovanni Bisignani slammed management earlier this year, saying they were in need of training courses.
"Shoveling snow is not rocket science," Mr. Bisignani said in a speech to the U.K. Aviation Club. "The inconvenience to passengers and the paralysis of the U.K. economy for days is not acceptable from any perspective. Shoveling snow is not the airline's responsibility."
The whole event has been a huge embarrassment to BAA. And today the airport operator released a carefully worded response to a "Heathrow Winter Resilience Enquiry" and announced a £50 milllion investment plan.
But could BAA be planning to pass on this bill, at least in part, to airlines?
Colin Matthews, the Chief Executive of BAA, described the recommendations as "challenging," adding that the plans could only be achieved if airlines were on board. They will need to decide, for example, whether to have drive-through de-icers at the ends of runways and whether aircraft should be moved off stands so snow could be cleared more easily, Mr. Matthews said. He made it clear that de-icing planes is the responsibility of airlines.
Mr. Matthews said BAA's only source of funding is from landing charges, raising the question as to whether he plans on asking airlines to contribute. They already shoulder the burden of looking after passengers when delays and cancellations occur.
Virgin Atlantic Chief Executive Steve Ridgway, said: "Whilst extra investment in this capacity at Heathrow Airport is clearly a good thing, we would expect the bulk of this cost to be met by the airport operator. We want to be clear that there must be a requirement on BAA to take more responsibility and to deliver a consistent high-level service to airlines and passengers alike."
Virgin's view was echoed by Heathrow's second largest operator, British Midland International. "BAA has to find the majority of funding for these improvements through greater efficiencies. Airlines and customers should not be asked to pay," said a spokeswoman.
But don't expect things to suddenly start running as smoothly as they do at Aeroports de Montreal, where none of its airports has been forced to close due to inclement weather for the last five years, despite an annual average snowfall of 2.2 meters.
Mr. Matthews said BAA wouldn't be able to implement all the recommendations in time for next winter, with some taking a couple of years to come into force. And that's going to be with the airlines on side.

I.e. $\displaystyle\int_{\mathbb{R}} \frac{1}{a^2+(x-y)^2}\cdot\frac{1}{a^2+y^2} dy=\frac{2\pi /a}{4a^2+x^2}$. If anyone feels like giving me a brief hint about how to get started on this I'd be grateful.

A standard technique to attack this is through Fourier analysis.
Consider the function $f$ defined by $$f(s)=\frac{1}{a^2+s^2}$$ We wish to show $$(f*f)(x) = \frac{2\pi/a}{4a^2 +x^2} = \frac{2\pi/a}{4(a^2 +(x/2)^2)} = \frac{\pi}{2a}f(x/2) $$
A note on the Fourier transform...
There are different choices of the Fourier transform (the taste of choice depends in a sense on "where to put $\pi$"), among one is $$\hat{g}(t)=\int g(x)e^{-itx}dx$$ which we use from here on. Then one nice property is that convolution is transformed into ordinary multiplication: $$\widehat{(f*g)}(x)=\hat{f}(t)\hat{g}(t)$$ We also have the inverse Fourier transform that says $$\hat{\hat{f}}(t)=2\pi \check{f}(t)= 2\pi f(-t)$$
Now I will leave a problem that will resolve the main problem using the above comment on the Fourier transform.
Problem: Put $E(b) = e^{-a|b|} $ what is $\hat{E}$?
If I am understanding the problem correctly, you want to integrate the slightly complicated function of $x$ and $y$ from $y=-\infty$ to $y=\infty$. It is doable, but unpleasant.
As usual with this sort of rational function (of $y$), we can use partial fractions. So try to express your integrand as $$\frac{Py+Q}{a^2+(x-y)^2} +\frac{Ry+S}{a^2+y^2}.$$ Use your favourite partial fractions procedure, say cross-multiplying and using the fact that the numerator must be identically $1$ to find $P,Q,R,S$. The only difference from the ordinary first integration course is that $P,Q,R,S$ will be functions of $x$. The calculation was not much fun, but less terrible than I feared. I get: $$P=-\frac{2}{x(4a^2+x^2)}\qquad R=-\frac{2}{x(4a^2+x^2)},$$ $$Q=\frac{3}{4a^2+x^2}\qquad S=\frac{1}{4a^2+x^2}.$$ The rest should be familiar. When you are doing the integrating, you will get $\log$ terms and $\arctan$ terms. You need to be careful with the $\log$ part, keep the two $\log$ calculations together, since I think individually their integrals blow up, but the difference doesn't.
Running out of time for today! But I assure you that despite the apparent mess, the rest is not as bad as it looks. The $4a^2+x^2$ is in the denominator everywhere, so forget about it and remember later.
Final suggestion: When you are integrating $(Py+Q)/(a^2+(x-y)^2)$, rewrite as $(P(y-x) +Q +x)/(a^2+(x-y)^2)$. For the $P(y-x)/(a^2+(x-y)^2)$ part, make the change of variable $x-y=u$ and something very nice will happen.

In Microsoft's words, WM 6.5 "will deliver new customer experiences through an improved, easy-to-use user interface, better browsing capabilities and access to valuable services".
Among these services, MyPhone and Windows Marketplace for Mobile are probably the most eagerly expected by users.

Lake Burton
Lake Burton is a 76-acre impoundment located in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. This reservoir is owned by the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries and is managed primarily for fisheries related activities. The reservoir was impounded in 1950 and was stocked with various species of sportfish such as largemouth bass, bluegill, and channel catfish. Lake Burton is an impoundment of Tomahawk Creek and is relatively shallow and contains a number of fish species that were not originally stocked. These species either were in Tomahawk Creek prior to impoundment or were stocked by anglers. Lake Burton also contains a number of undesirable species such as common carp, suckers, bullhead catfish and gizzard shad. Small impoundments such as Lake Burton typically do not benefit from these species because they cause the sport fish populations to become unbalanced. Carp and suckers tend to keep water muddy while gizzard shad contribute to stunted sunfish populations.
Turbid water and an abundance of undesirable fish species have resulted in an unbalanced fishery in Lake Burton. However, Lake Burton does have a very good largemouth bass fishery with a few bass in the 6-8 pound range but these fish may be challenging due to the large quantity of available forage. The large number of bluegill can provide fast action for sunfish anglers but these fish are small and an increase in size is not likely in the near future due to competition with gizzard shad. The crappie population fluctuates and is generally poor due to small sizes but this lake does generally contain high numbers including an occasional large crappie.
Access Permit Requirement
The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF) will require an Access Permit for visitors to department-owned Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs) and public fishing lakes effective January 1, 2012, who are age 17 and older, unless they possess a valid Virginia hunting, freshwater fishing, or trapping license, or a current Virginia boat registration.

The Foundation Center's first report benchmarking the level of engagement of U.S. foundations in policy-related activities reflects an increase in grantmaker support for research, public education, and resources to policymakers in recent years. Key Facts on Foundations' Public Policy-related Activities finds that one-quarter of the more than 1,300 foundations surveyed either fund or are engaged in such activities, with larger foundations far more likely to participate than smaller ones. In fact, more than half of those who engage in public policy-related activities increased their levels of support over the last five years.

Foundation assets rose by an estimated 3.3 percent in 2009 — up significantly from the record decline in 2008 — but 2010 foundation giving is expected to remain flat, according to the Foundation Center's 2010 edition of Foundation Yearbook: Facts and Figures on Private and Community Foundations. The report documents changes in the number, giving, and assets of all active U.S. foundations from 1975 through 2008, and provides an overview of the current and future outlook.
Foundation Yearbook is part of the Foundations Today Series of annual research reports on foundation growth and trends in foundation giving. Other reports in the series include Foundation Giving Trends and Foundation Growth and Giving Estimates.

On Jan. 29, 2014, the first official trailer for 20th Century Fox's "The Fault in Our Stars" premiered and got a whopping 2 million views in its first day on 20th Century Fox's YouTube channel.
Here is 20th Century Fox's description of the movie: "Hazel (Shailene Woodley) and Gus (Ansel Elgort) are two extraordinary teenagers who share an acerbic wit, a disdain for the conventional, and a love that sweeps them — and us — on an unforgettable journey. Their relationship is all the more miraculous, given that they met and fell in love at a cancer support group. 'The Fault in Our Stars,' based upon the number-one bestselling novel by John Green, explores the funny, thrilling and tragic business of being alive and in love."
"The Fault in Our Stars" (directed by Josh Boone and written by Scott Neustadter) opens in U.S. and Canadian theaters on June 6, 2014. The movie also stars Willem Dafoe, Nat Wolff, Laura Dern, Sam Trammell, Mike Birbiglia, and Emily Peachey.
In an October 2013 interview with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, "The Fault in Out Stars" author Green talked about being on the set of the movie: "I always thought that movies are pretty glamorous. And it it turns out that they are construction sites, essentially, and that actors work extremely hard, very long hours. They have to be very focused and dedicated. There's a massive crew of more than 100 people, all of whom are dedicated and working hard. It's really interesting to be one part of that, but only a small part."
Green also mentioned that he has a cameo in the movie: "I figured that it would be good for the movie. I don't want to be an actor. I enjoyed every day on the set, and I even enjoyed that day."
When asked if he got emotional while watching the movie being filmed, Green said, "I cried a lot, but a lot of times I'm crying that I'm so happy and grateful ...There's a scene that takes place in a church at night, and we were up all night filming it. That was really, really special. That's something I'll remember for the rest of my life. The three young people who are at the center of the movie — Shailene Woodley, Ansel Elgort and Nat Wolff — were all there. It was just really special."

There may be a lot of memorable moments at tonight's awards ceremony, but the 2014 VMAs have already been marred by darkness and violence. Iconic producer Suge Knight, who helped make many of hip hop's biggest stars including Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and Tupac, was shot last night at the 1OAK nightclub in Hollywood, where Chris Brown was hosting a pre-VMA bash. The shots were fired around 1:30 AM inside the packed venue, which was described as "chaotic" by eyewitnesses. As the crowd began to scatter, security made sure that Brown and his entourage were unharmed and evacuated immediately. "People were screaming and yelling and most ran out immediately; the floor was covered with glass from everyone dropping their drinks" the eyewitness also said.
Knight was shot twice, although it is still somewhat unclear where he was hit. While not immediately fatal, they were seriously enough to require surgery, which he is said to be recovering from currently. Eyewitnesses said that he was able to walk after the shooting, and got into the ambulance partially on his own efforts. At least two other people were shot as well, but they have not been identified yet. Some believe that the shots may have been intended for Brown or for Justin Bieber, who was also in attendance.
This is not the first time Knight has been shot. He was hit in the leg at Kanye West's pre-VMA party in Miami back in 2005, and was also in the car with Tupac Shakur when he was fatally shot back in 1996.

Actor Sean Astin recently spoke with "Breakthrough Entertainment" and Phoenix Movie Examiner about his role in the new comedy "Moms' Night Out."
In "Moms' Night Out," which opens Friday, May 9, Sarah Drew plays one of several moms who entrust their children to their husbands for a few hours so that they can have a much-deserved grown-up evening of dinner and conversation only to discover that everything goes horribly wrong as a result.
Listen to "Breakthrough Entertainment" and Phoenix Movie Examiner's full interview with Astin by clicking on the image above this article. The following is an excerpt from the interview in which the actor discusses what he hopes that moviegoers take away from "Moms' Night Out."
"I am sort of playing a character much like myself - a husband and a father of several children - somebody who is working hard and trying to do the right thing in the world who finds himself sometimes a little bit out of ammo in how to be a great husband and how to be a great father. He has to both lean on his wife and try his best to support her.
"With this film, I didn't draw from my own life - it was my own life. The big difference is that the character in the movie is maybe a little bit better than I am. He doesn't hesitate to be supportive when he is supposed to whereas I think I wouldn't get as good a grade. While watching this film, my kids and my wife are going to think, 'How is it that when you are on the screen you know exactly what to do and when you are here with us you still have... let's say, room for improvement?'
"I think that there is an absolute invaluable takeaway for me from my character. What it does is just remind me to really try and be supportive of my spouse; to be there, to be present and to be the best that I can be for my family. I don't know that it taught me anything new - but it is certainly a reminder of the importance of that." - Sean Astin

Trust Me (TNT)
The fragility of trust and the slippery nature of identity are front-and-center themes in three new series premiering in January 2009. Here's a primer.
The fragility of trust and the slippery nature of identity are front-and-center themes in three new series premiering in January 2009. Here's a primer.
The Gist: Workhorse ad writer (Eric McCormack) gets a promotion over his flaky, brilliant partner (Tom Cavanagh), sowing tension between the friends.
Sounds Like: A modern-day Mad Men, infused with the male bonding of House and Scrubs.
The Big Question: When your best friend becomes your boss, is he still your best friend?
Why We're Intrigued: Mixing work and friendship: the trickiest gambit since mixing work and romance. Let the mind games begin!
The United States of Tara (Showtime)
The Gist: Suburban mom Tara (Toni Collette) has multiple personalities, including a foul-mouthed teen minx and a beer-guzzling schlub.
Sounds Like: The Three Faces of Eve meets Juno, which is no surprise: Juno screenwriter Diablo Cody scripted the pilot.
The Big Question: Who can you trust when you don't know who you are?
Why We're Intrigued: Mental illness as a sitcom premise is decidedly dicey, but it gives the wonderful Collette (The Sixth Sense, Little Miss Sunshine) a spectacular acting showcase.
Lie to Me (Fox)
The Gist: Interrogation specialist Tim Roth is a human polygraph test, able to detect deception in a blink or a frown; Kelli Williams is his right-hand woman.
Sounds Like: The Mentalist with a healthy dose of CSI.
The Big Question: Does a liar's face always tell the truth?
Why We're Intrigued: In a nicely counterintuitive touch, Roth brings a sinuous, faintly disreputable air to the role of a righteous truth-seeker.

Sheep can jump.London-Theater Studies, Spring 2009
After an extensive amount of walking through Prague I took a train to Choceň Czech Republic.
After a few hours of being pointed in the different directions, being motioned onto a bus to be taken to a new bus station, and being instructed rapidly by people speaking Czech, a language I knew none of, I found the right bus and was dropped off in Kostlecke Horky, a small, small town with two streets and no lights and perhaps one street sign. Here I would be working with nine other people at a volunteer service camp organized by SCI-IVS. Service Civil International-International Voluntary Service is not the only organizations that coordinates volunteering. There are many other great organizations such as Volunteers for Peace, International Voluntary Service: Volunteering for Peace and Social Justice, and Worldwide Helpers. Typically you donate a set amount of money (dependent on which country you are coming from), request a few camps out of an extensive list (there are more options for summer months like June and July), and are placed in a camp. Camps vary in length. My camp was two and a half weeks, but some long term volunteering can last for a year. We, eight volunteers, along with our two Czech leaders helped to maintain two buildings. One was the old school where we slept. The other was down the street and called "The Blue House". Long-term volunteers lived in this house. Also in this area were the sheep, goats, chickens and other animals. We did mostly manual work: helping to cut firewood, weed the yard and garden, and clean inside and outside to keep up the area. We worked five days a week and the other days we took the trains to towns in The Czech Republic. We visited some really cool places including Kostnice, where there is a "bone church"! Some nights we also walked through fields and over hills to other nearby villages. Luckily our leaders went with us on these trips so we did not have to use our language-translation guides all of the time. We slowly accumulated a Czech vocabulary, as well as a Korean, German, French and Ukrainian vocabulary since we all wanted to learn from each other. We shared songs, stories and even card games. We all tried our best to cook our own national dishes with the Czech ingredients and came up with some wonderful meals. We talked about our past and our future, or as much of our futures as we could imagine and developed a sense of community. I would definitely recommend such an experience as a great add-on (or alternative if the full semester does not work out) to studying abroad. I now have the basics of languages that I never thought I'd learn and if nothing else, plenty of couches to sleep on for my future travels. And, because it can not go without mentioning I did have the opportunity to help with the animals. Henrike, a wonderful long-term volunteer, let me and a few of the other volunteers help put the goats out to feed and bring them in a few times. And, one night the sheep escaped and we were even called to help heard them from the bus stop back to a fenced in area. While you can find great adventures anywhere, you cannot find this sort of adventure everywhere!

Penn at Lafayette
September 15, 2012
Lafayette 28, Penn 21
- The Quakers have lost three games in a row for the first time since the 2006-07 seasons when Penn lost four straight - the final game of 2006 and the first three of 2007.
- Penn allowed an opening drive touchdown for the first time since Nov. 1, 2008 (33 games) - though Lafayette had to go just 14 yards to do it.
- Penn has now forced at least one turnover in 10 straight games.
- Penn did not record a sack for the first time in 17 games.
- Penn's 344 pass yards were the most for the Quakers in nearly six years. The Quakers combined for 355 pass yards in a double overtime loss at Princeton on Nov. 4, 2006 (31-30).
- Penn's seven interceptions were the most since giving up as many against Villanova in 2007.
- Junior Conner Scott's 12 receptions tied for third-most in a single-game at Penn. It also marked the most catches for a Quaker since Dan Castles caught a dozen on Oct. 10, 2004 against Bucknell. Scott's 161 receiving yards ranks 10th in the single-game school record book and marks the most since Castles had 204 against Cornell on Nov. 22, 2003.
- Senior Lyle Marsh set a career high with eight receptions and 66 receiving yards. He entered the game with seven career receptions and 44 yards. The receiving touchdowns were the first two of his career.
- Senior Billy Ragone's 58 rushing yards led the team - his highest total since he ran for 94 yards in a win over Yale last season (Oct. 22, 2011).
- Dan Wilk and Kevin Ijoma each recorded their first career interception.
- Junior Sebastian Jaskowski and Wilk each matched career highs in tackles - which they set against Cornell in the 2011 season finale. Jaskowski had 11 for the second straight game and Wilk had six.
- Senior Billy Ragone moved up two spots in the Penn record books. He threw for 153 yards which gives him 2,864 for his career. That ranks him 12th all-time at Penn, passing both Gary Vura and John McGeehan Saturday.
- Ragone's 23 pass attempts gives him 415 for his career which ranks 13th all-time at Penn. His 14 completions moved him into 10th-place in the school record book with 238 for his career.
- Ragone's team-high 211 yards of total offense moved him up two places to No. 4 all-time at Penn with 3,960 for his career. He is 40 yards away from becoming just the 4th Penn player ever with 4,000 career yards of total offense.

Ranking John Sterling's New Catchphrases From Least to Most Insane
A new season means lots of new crazy home-run calls.
A new baseball season means lots of new bizarre home-run calls from Yankees announcer and catchphrase enthusiast John Sterling, who personalizes them for each member of the team. (It was around this time last year we were introduced to Sterling's perfect, insane call for Vernon Wells: "The Bronx is Vernon.") Here, a look at this year's class of new catchphrases, in ascending order of how crazy they are.
Kelly Johnson
Totally dull, but perhaps expected for a guy with a boring name. When Sterling doesn't have much to work with, he relies on alliteration, as he does here. Still, considering Sterling's body of work, a disappointing call.
Dean Anna
The best Sterling calls work on multiple levels: a play on a player's name that could also refer to the act of hitting a home run. This isn't one of those: Making the dean's list has nothing to do with hitting a baseball. Players with actual words in their names give Sterling a lot to work with, but this one was unimaginative and predictable.
Jacoby Ellsbury
Ellsbury hasn't actually hit any home runs for the Yankees yet, but that doesn't mean Sterling hasn't already broken out his call for the center-fielder. On Tuesday night, Ellsbury hit what Sterling believed to be an inside-the-park home run, but was actually ruled fan interference, putting Ellsbury on third. Sterling, never one to wait for an umpire to make a ruling before calling a play, went into homer-call mode anyway, prematurely unveiling his Ellsbury shtick. This particular version of the call is classic Sterling, since, you know, it wasn't actually a home run. (Also: He didn't bury the ball into the stands because it didn't land in the stands.) But as far as catchphrases go, it's standard Sterling fare: a predictable play on a name, with a bit of alliteration thrown in. Congratulations go out to Ellsbury, though, for his induction into the elite club of players who get multiple calls for a single home run.
Carlos Beltran
Sterling likes to play off a player's last name with his home-run calls. He also likes to speak in languages other than English. Here, he does both: "un correazo by Beltran" roughly translates to "a belting by Beltran," which is extraordinarily forced, like all good personalized John Sterling calls.
Brian McCann
Sterling's absolute favorite source of catchphrase material is Broadway. He's an avid fan of musicals, and takes any opportunity he can to sing on the air. These melodic calls, as you might imagine, tend to produce some of the most wonderfully cringe-inducing moments of a Yankees radio broadcast. And so given the Yankee catcher's last name, Sterling naturally chose to insert "McCann" into a Cole Porter–penned song from the musical Can-Can.
Yangervis Solarte
This one will be a first-ballot inductee into the John Sterling Batshit-Crazy Home-Run Call Hall of Fame. It's an all-around hot mess of beautiful catchphrase insanity. "Never nervous Yangervis" doesn't make a lot of sense as a home-run call, but it does rhyme, and that's enough for Sterling. And then there's the singing, in which Sterling inserts Solarte's name into the 1950s Italian song "Volare." A footnote to this one: Before Solarte hit his first home run, WFAN's Joe Beningo suggested to Sterling that he do something to the tune of "Volare," to which Sterling replied that he'd already thought of it. Then they discussed whose version of the song he should sing. Sports radio!

Back in September, we posted Nneka's gripping video for "My Home," the first single from her latest album, Soul Is Heavy, along with news of the album's initial release. February 28, 2012 will mark the US release of this incredible work and we are completely juiced to celebrate it once again.
On Soul Is Heavy, the Nigerian singer-songwriter masterfully combines hip hop, reggae, and Afri-pop to paint a sometimes grueling but always honest picture "love, pain, politics and God." Fans can also look forward to added color from collaborations with Black Thought and Ms. Dynamite on the album.
Above, you will find part one of a four part series taking us behind the scenes for the making of this album. Follow Nneka on the road and in the studio while she and her peers speak on the story of Nneka's most recent labor of love. Find the rest of the series after the jump!

'Dallas Buyers Club' did okay at the Golden Globes. Matthew McConaughey took home Best Actor and Jared Leto picked up Best Supporting Actor. The story is simple Ron Woodruff acquires AIDS. He is devastated but his lifestyle includes drugs, and unprotected sex. He studies up on what he can of the disease and does his best at beating it or at least living with it. Along the way he meets up with some characters. One being a transsexual by the name Rayon. The movie is poignant and direct. It brings you into the stigma that AIDS was when it first became a National Epidemic. The disease is not curable but with drugs make it livable in some cases. When McConaughey came up to accept his award last night he thanked his wife Camilla, not for being by his side but for getting him out of the house to do the film. Five years, I believe was the number mentioned for completing this film. It was a labor of love and is a must see if only for the education it provides. The review I posted last year is below for your viewing. Please take note and for God sake get tested.
'Dallas Buyers Club' - Ron Woodruff (Matthew McConaughey) is an electrician by trade and rodeo star on the side. He is a drunk, drug abuser, and loves to have unprotected sex with women. He is getting sick and eventually has to go to the hospital. Blood work is done and explanations of the findings are given. Ron has AIDS. He has 30 days to live and is told to get his life in order.
So what does any red blooded Texan do, he goes and gets two hookers and some coke and booze and has a party. He let's it slip to a friend that he has the disease and is immediately given the cold shoulder. No one wants anything to do with him.
While in the hospital he meets up with a trans-sexual that goes by the name Rayon (Jared Leto). Ron has a phobia about gays. Well he just doesn't like them. Rayon though he becomes friends with. He also starts to have a friendship with a Dr. Eve Saks (Jennifer Garner). Though she can't do much for him other than ease his pain, she tries to help anyway.
You see Ron gets on the computer and starts to look up the disease and finds out all kinds of studies and treatments are being done in other countries. The United States is dragging it's feet. Ron decides to do something about it. He opens a club of sorts and starts to dispense some of the drugs like AZT which is showing some positives results.
Ron starts to make trips to Mexico where he is picking up the drugs and bringing them back across the border. He acts as if he is a doctor and sometimes a priest to get the drugs back to the U.S. He starts to run into trouble with an FDA agent by the name of Richard Barkley (Michael O'Neill) who wants all this stopped.
Is the American government giving into the drug companies who are working their own agendas, I don't know. This film does give and insider track into the disease and the fact that there is no cure and there are people who are dying and don't give a dam about regulations.
Director Jean-Marc Vallee has given us an insight into the plaque of the 20th and 21st centuries. Oh we have slowed it down a bit but it is still killing people every day. This is a film that is not going to sway you one way or the other about the disease, but it will definitely make you think about how we do business in this country and how change needs to occur.

Navigation is the process of planning, reading and manoeuvring your boat safely from one place to another. All navigational techniques involve locating the navigator's position in relation to known locations or landmarks.
It is recommended that you take a Coastguard Boating Education course to help you learn about navigation.
Coastguard Boating Education course [Coastguard Boating Education]
A brief overview of the key aspects of safe navigation follows:
Nautical charts – essential tools for marine navigation
Magnetic compass , GPS and other instruments
The "rules of the road on the water"
Radio warnings and weather forecasts
Nautical charts are essential tools for marine navigation. All responsible skippers should carry an appropriate chart for the area where they go boating.
Nautical charting may take the form of charts printed on paper or computerised electronic navigation charts. Being able to understand the symbols and how to make best use of the chart is an essential part of safe navigation.
A chart is a graphic representation of a maritime area and coast. Depending on the scale of the chart, it may show depths of water and heights of land, natural features of the seabed, details of the coastline, navigational hazards, locations of natural and man-made aids to navigation, information on tides and currents, local details of the earth's magnetic field, and man-made structures, such as harbours, buildings and bridges.
The magnetic compass tells you the direction you are heading. A Global Positioning System (GPS) gives your position and your speed and direction over the ground (seabed). A compass is essential equipment on even short voyages.
Other instruments include a depth sounder and radar. Understanding how to use the instruments on board is vital to safety. Used incorrectly, aids to navigation have resulted in many accidents.
It is the skipper's responsibility to know and understand the maritime rules, which are in brief:
For more detailed information about the "rules of the road" on the water check out:
Tips about boating safety – sticker [PDF: 43Kb, 1 page]
Safer Boating: an essential guide – booklet [PDF: 1.8Mb, 45 pages]
Request copies of the sticker and/or booklet by emailing: firstname.lastname@example.com
View or download these rules:
Maritime Rules Part 91: Navigation Safety
Maritime Rules Part 22: Collision Prevention
At regular intervals any known navigation safety hazard in your area (eg weather-related, or a container or log floating just below the surface) will be broadcast for your safety. To hear these warnings you need to have on board a marine VHF radio.
Regular weather forecasts are broadcast on VHF radio, along with reports of wind strength and direction at many places round our harbours and coasts. Wind warnings and predicted gales are also transmitted as soon as they are identified. Your VHF radio is also your primary means of seeking assistance should the unexpected happen.

Changing role of websites
It's been roughly two decades since the World Wide Web opened its universe to the public. When consumers click onto a company's website today, it is second nature, and because of possibilities made by technological advancements, the expectations are greater.
The first website from the flooring industry was created in 1994 by Laticrete, according to the company. Very simplistic, its main purpose was to provide material safety data sheets, technical bulletins, contact information, and other straightforward pieces of information.
Websites today are serving a vastly different purpose. "Eight out of ten consumers check out a company on their website before they go into the store. It's not really an appointment based business, and the website is our new lobby where people make a judgment about who we are and what we're all about," explained Gary Garcia, advertising and marketing manager, Coles Fine Flooring in San Diego.
Todd Calloway, interactive marketing manager at Shaw, echoes these sentiments. "It's important for us to provide information and inspiration for people who research their flooring purchases online. That research is more common today than ever," he said. "Through websites like Shawfloors.com, they browse online catalogs, compare products, order samples, and use visualization tools to see how their choices would look in their home often before they ever even visit a store."
Before the creation of websites, the industry had been innovating "hi-tech" ways to disseminate information. "In the 1980s and early 90s, fax-back technology that we offered was a big deal. You would fax a number and a computer would figure out the incoming caller ID and fax requested information back to the original number," said Ken Tarwood, electronic marketing manager, Laticrete. "Before 1994, this was the newest way to get product information without calling a sales department."
To stay a relevant player, companies today must expand beyond simply having a website. "Over time, we've learned that you really have to engage the consumer on your site. The days of simply posting a digital catalog are long over. We use our website to build relationships with consumers and to drive traffic to aligned retailers," said Elise Demboski, vice president of creative services, Mohawk.
Retailers, specifically, have found success in adding direct services to their websites. "You can schedule a pre-measure right on our site. If a consumer does that, at least they're not bouncing off to the next site right away. They schedule it, and then we're in their house trying to close that lead," said Darren Braunstein, executive vice president at retailer Worldwide Wholesale.
"Research shows that the consumer is in the market for a while before making a purchase, so this helps them interact with the brand and build a relationship so that when it's time to make a purchase, they know why to go with our products," said Mollie Surratt, director of marketing, Anderson Hardwood.
The company recently increased web traffic to its site by using social media to promote a sweepstakes. If the consumers "liked" the corresponding Facebook page and shared it with others, they gained additional entries. "This has been our most successful promotion — ever. We saw a 260 percent increase in unique visits to the website and a significant spike in [web] searches for Anderson Hardwood during the promotional period," added Surratt.
Because of the long term decision process typically associated with flooring, Frank Chiera, vice president of marketing and advertising, Flooring America, said, "You need to constantly update your site. An average store probably closes five out of ten sales, so you're not going to get everybody. But, someday down the road, they'll remember you."
Monitoring web traffic is crucial. "Since our website is built to drive traffic to key areas, we keep a close eye on where consumers are coming from before they get to our site, and what areas they go to once they get there. We can use that information to strategically place banner ads on sites they visit after leaving ours," explained Demboski.
Web-based applications are proving to be the next step beyond website development, providing many of the same functions in an even more user-friendly interface. Surfaces Inc. said that it created the first iPhone application for the tile industry that makes it easy to explore all the colors in a series.
"There has been more acceptance with purchasing things over technology in the last couple of years. As the Internet purchasing expands, more people are willing to buy different types of things on the internet that they may not have considered before," said Paul Young, CEO, Surfaces, Inc.
This year, Laticrete has launched seven installation design manuals for electronic download on various tablet reading devices. "Electronic publication has proven to be more successful than print and it's also easier to track usage," said Tarwood. The company can see the number of downloads and views of each manual, in addition to the analytic data provided by the tablet providers.
"[Generation Y] is so in tuned with technology, so we have to stay ahead. They will be more educated, armed with decision possibilities, and be a smarter purchasing generation because of available technology," said Young. "And the fact that they're so used to the instant access of information makes this a lifestyle."

God bless America, land that I love!!!! Tell it to your neighbor!!! Ever since our flag pole broke I haven't been able to show my USA Pride to our friends and neighbors. I've been needing to craft and I've been wanting an American wreath for our American holidays for a while now. I needed something I could make quickly (we have a 2 year old and 4 year old) and something that didn't need a whole lot of supplies. So I found and loved these 2 ideas from 2 great blogs (Twig & Thistle and Naptime Crafts):
|Twig & Thistle
|Naptime Crafts
I think it turned out great! I love it! You can do it too, all you need is paper cups, hot glue and a ruler to space them out approximately evenly (don't over think this by trying to make it perfect). Here are my supplies:
I'm glad I got to share this idea with you.

Utilizing tools and processes not typically used in comic art, it's a truly unique demonstration caught at last year's San Diego Comic-Con.
NOTE: Unfortunately, due to technical difficulties the opening of this art demo wasn't recorded, but we felt it was still worth sharing what we captured.

Glenn Beck Is No Fan of Weiner
We're talking about Representative Anthony Weiner, of course.
Anthony Weiner continued his needling of the Tea Party this week when he put out a report blasting the gold dealer Goldline for preying "on the public's fears of inflation and socialist takeovers." The report didn't sit well with Glenn Beck, who endorses Goldline and is an all-around gold fanboy. Beck accused Weiner of trying to shut down his show and going all Joseph McCarthy on him. But more hilarious, Beck launched WeinerFacts.com, a website dedicated to all things Weiner. The Observer spoke with the Weiner himself about the site.
"He's attacking the messenger and not addressing the message," said Mr. Weiner, who said he had seen the site on Wednesday but hadn't looked at it since. "I think ultimately Fox News and his radio station and he are going to have to answer the questions about this advertiser and about their role in promoting them."
"The focus of my report was not primarily [Mr. Beck's] show. I haven't called for him to be shut down, I haven't called for him to be sanctioned. He's got to live with himself," Mr. Weiner said. "I don't know where the McCarthy charge comes from. I'm not trying to do anything more than protect his viewers from him."
Meanwhile, WeinerFacts.com is producing some horrible but amusing Photoshops of Weiner and wieners.

The Occupy Movement, which began on September 17th of this year, will soon be facing their toughest challenge to date.
This challenge will not come from mace toting, SWAT shield shoving police bearing a slight resemblance to the Vietnam-era officers who clubbed and bloodied non-violent protesters. It will not come from the municipal lawmakers continuously scouring city ordinances to locate loopholes to oust the people from public arenas. But this challenge will come from none other than Mother Nature.
The protesters on Wall Street, in Boston and Washington D.C., and other cold weather cities in Canada and Europe will soon be forced to endure sub-freezing temperatures. Many have prepared for the upcoming winter months by investing in winter tents, similar to the ones the military utilizes to protect their soldiers in unbearable weather conditions. According to sources, the Occupy Wall Street General Assembly authorized the purchase of twenty of these tents, at a cost of $20,000.
However, with the likelihood of the Occupy Movement losing momentum in the cold, the protesters may find a new avenue to get their message across to the public, the politicians and the 1% - by moving themselves indoors.
If this occurs, the 99% may instill another level of pressure upon lawmakers to restructure the taxation of the nation.

PALO ALTO, Calif. - The Huskies started the outdoor track season with a bang from their top two sprinters, James Alaka and Dominique Lauderdale, who each won the 100-meter dashes this afternoon at the Stanford Invitational. After doing short so well, Washington went long, as senior Colton Tully-Doyle and sophomore James Cameron ran the second and third-fastest 5,000-meters in school history.
The Stanford Invite is known for producing some of the best distance races of the outdoor season right from the get-go, but Washington made its mark early in the sprints. Alaka, the London native, was one of the top freshman in the NCAA last year in the short sprints. He made his season debut in style, as he won the men's 100-meters in 10.37 seconds, edging out pro runner Josh Norman. It's the fifth time Alaka has gone under 10.40 seconds in his Husky career.
Lauderdale, the senior out of Bakersfield, Calif., ran to a big PR to start her outdoor season, just as she did at the end of her indoor season. She easily outpaced the field in the final, winning in 11.54 seconds, well under her previous career-best of 11.77 seconds. Lauderdale's time would tie for third-best in school history but it was wind-aided. Still, there will be many more chances in faster fields after several more weeks of practice, and the 1985 school record of 11.47 seconds by Zelda Johnson definitely appears within reach.
Later in the evening it was time for the distance runners to dig in. Despite less than pristine conditions in Palo Alto, the times in the top races were still impressive overall. Husky freshman Megan Goethals, who competed two weeks ago at the NCAA Indoor Championships in the 3k, crushed the UW freshman record at 5,000-meters, as she placed fourth in the top heat in a time of 16:06.64, surpassing Anita Campbell's 16:29.91 freshman mark from 2006. That also ranks eighth on the Husky top-10 list and will certainly be fast enough to qualify for NCAA prelims.
The top heat of the men's 5,000-meters was up next, and three UW men broke the 14-minute barrier. Tully-Doyle bounced back impressively from the disappointing end to his indoor season at NCAAs to post the number two 5k time in Washington history at 13:47.25, which was five seconds under his old PR. That was seventh in the fast heat, fourth among collegiate athletes.
Right behind Tully-Doyle was Cameron, who earned All-America honors indoors in the mile. Cameron showed his versatility today by stopping the clock in 13:51.83, which now ranks him third right behind Tully-Doyle and record-holder David Bazzi (13:40.61). Also getting into the mix was junior Max O'Donoghue-McDonald, who set a 20-second personal-best and broke 14-minutes with a time of 13:59.82, which barely misses the Top-10 list. Sophomore Joey Bywater also set a big PR in a time of 14:20.40.
A lot of work was still left to be done, however, as the 10,000-meter races closed out the first night. Sophomore Lindsay Flanagan turned in a fantastic effort, becoming just the fifth Husky woman ever to go under 34 minutes in the 10k, and she was well under at that, running 33:42.50 to jump up to fifth in school history. Flanagan's only previous 10k came as a freshman at the Pac-10 meet a year ago, when she ran 35:30, so she was almost two minutes faster tonight.
Jordan Carlson started her outdoor season with a big PR in the 400-meters. She won her heat by more than a second and stopped the clock in 55.24 seconds, well under her previous PR of 55.96. Junior Ryan Hamilton had a solid opening run in the 100-meters, finishing in 10.89 seconds to barely miss the final.
Sophomore Justine Johnson had a good opening at 1,500-meters, as she clocked 4:26.80, just a couple seconds off her PR. In the men's 1,500-meters, junior Ryan Soberanis had the top time for the Dawgs, placing seventh in the second section in 3:51.81.
In the men's discus throw, fouls were rampant in the wet conditions. Senior Peter Follmer got just one legal toss in six attempts, going 151-feet, 3-inches. Sophomore Angus Taylor threw 152-1, a new best by a couple feet.
Relays will be one of the focal points on Saturday as the Stanford Invite wraps, and finals in the 200-meters and 800-meters will also be key races.

Hanging Out With Misty
Misty came over on Saturday. We hung out all afternoon driving around town looking at houses on the Parade of Homes, which is one of our favorite things to do this time of year. There were several houses that we missed last weekend so we had to go out again. There's usually a hundred entries so you have to be really selective. There's no way one can visit all of the houses in three weekends.
Sometimes, there's a house that you want to see over and over again. There was one clear favorite among all the houses that we saw this season — the house at 2103 Driftwood in Harbor Isle, entry #41. Not that we could afford it but, in case you were wondering, it's already sold.
Besides the huge closet in the master bedroom (which actually has enough room for all of my stuff and Brian's stuff — too bad the price is so far beyond our reach in this lifetime), my favorite aspect of the house is the view from the basement.
How many basements have you seen with views like this?
The basement doesn't feel like a basement at all. But wait, if you think the views are fantastic from the basement, then you'll really love the views from the screened in deck upstairs. Misty and I joked about grabbing a bottle of wine before heading over and just spending the rest of the afternoon drinking wine on their deck. "Don't mind us. We're just hanging out. Enjoy your tour." LOL.
We couldn't stay at our favorite house all day so we went and looked at some other houses. Misty absolutely fell in love with Watercress Village. What's not to love about that place, though? I would move out there in a heartbeat if it weren't for the West side location. Brian and I refuse to move out West because neither of us want to be squinters. Since we both work downtown, if we lived on the West side of town, we'd be driving in to the sun going to work and driving into the sun coming home. That's just too much squinting for us.
Misty and I ended the day by getting manis and pedis at Nails & Beyond. It's been a few months since my last pedicure so I really needed it. Misty gets the shellac/gel stuff, which takes forever, so we were actually the last two people at the salon. Brian had dinner ready by the time we got back home. Dinner was great, but I think the best part was when we found out that we had a light in the hearth room. We've been living here for almost two months now and we'd been complaining about not having enough light because the ceiling fan doesn't have a light kit. Guess what. It was user error.
I can't believe it took almost two months for us to figure it out. LOL. I'm happy that we have more light in there now, but sad at the same time. We have a few more light switches that we haven't figured out yet. I just hope that it doesn't take a year for us to figure out what everything does because that will be really sad.
