Beloved Chapter 21 Summary
- Okay, we learned what was on Sethe's mind.
- Now it's Denver's turn to tell the story.
- Like Sethe, the first thing Denver thinks is that Beloved is hers. That's because she swallowed Beloved's blood along with her mother's milk. (Does that seem a little bit creepy to you? It does to us, too.)
- She and Beloved have been a team ever since she was small, the both of them waiting for Halle—that is, all the way up until Paul D came and threw Beloved out.
- Why was her father so important to Denver? We find out that Denver's scared of her mother since her mother killed one of her daughters and just missed killing her brothers. (Sounds like a good enough reason to us.)
- Her brothers told her "die-witch! stories" so that she could protect herself from Sethe.
- By the way, about her brothers—they told her that they were going to join the War. Denver figures it's because they'd rather be around "killing men" than "killing women."
- Anyway, all of this is why Denver needs to own Beloved. She has to protect Beloved from Sethe in case Sethe ever thinks of killing her children again.
- Denver's worried that whatever terrible thing that made Sethe kill once doesn't come from within 124. It comes from outside—out in the world.
- That's why Sethe killed Beloved, after all. Something harmful came into their yard.
- Which is why Denver hasn't left the house for years. She has to watch over the house and yard so that her mother won't have to kill Denver, too.
- And how's this for vigilance? Denver's only gone out three times: once, by herself, to Miss Lady Jones' house and two other times with her mother (when Baby Suggs died and with Paul D to go the carnival). When she came back the second time, Beloved was there at 124.
- Clearly, Beloved was ready to be protected by someone like Denver.
- And Denver's serious about her job. She thinks again about how Sethe could harm Beloved. You see, Denver's witnessed her mother go to her dark place; she knows her mother has it in her still.
- Denver also has a memory of touching. It's not all that clear who exactly is being touched; only that Sethe is definitely a part of the touching and it's not a good kind of touching.
- Denver did try to clarify her memory by asking Nelson Lord (a friend?), but she recalls that she couldn't hear anymore what was said to her in reply. That's how she got to be so good at reading faces and minds—so that she wouldn't need to hear.
- Actually, that's also why Denver and Beloved get along so well in Denver's mind—they don't need to talk when they play together.
- At first, Denver did think that Beloved might have come back to hurt Sethe—to kill her in return—but then she realized that Beloved loves Sethe.
- And that's what has her worried. She doesn't want Beloved to love Sethe too much.
- You just can't love someone who might kill you at any moment. Logical, right?
- And just so she's clear, Denver points out that Sethe did cut Denver's head off—every night.
- Howard and Buglar told her that would happen and it did.
- For Denver, the head-cutting came from the way Sethe looked at Denver, like Denver was a stranger to be pitied.
- Then Sethe would take her head and braid her hair. Okay, we hear you—this is definitely weird because Denver's head, we're pretty sure, is still attached to her neck. But can you imagine a child's fear of having Sethe, the baby-throat-cutter, come to do her hair every night? Let's just say Sethe wouldn't be doing our hair.
- The only place Denver has ever felt safe from Sethe is in Baby Suggs's room, which is a storeroom Baby Suggs built (she was a huge renovator, too; she changed the house completely by moving the kitchen indoors). That's where she would go to escape, where she didn't care about not hearing everybody.
- In fact, not hearing things meant that she could dream about her father and wait for him to come.
- If you can't tell by now, Denver really wants her father; she's thinking he can help her watch out for Sethe (or Ma'am, as Denver calls her) and watch over the yard.
- Denver learned all about her father (who ends up being a lot like an angel—just too good for this world) from Baby Suggs. Things like: Halle could get happy over soft fried eggs; plus, he was smart since he knew basic math (he volunteered to learn from Mr. Garner) and believed education was necessary for slaves.
- Just so you know, Denver can't think of her father without thinking of her grandmother, too, which is why Denver ends up recalling not just all the good stuff Halle did, but how Baby Suggs tried her best not to make her kids go crazy. According to Baby Suggs, kids go nuts when they see their mothers get knocked down by white men.
- Since Baby Suggs never got knocked down in front of Halle, Denver believes Halle hasn't gone crazy and will show up one day, especially since Paul D was able to make it out.
- Denver's hoping that it can just be Halle, Beloved, and herself one day; Sethe can go off with Paul D, especially now that Paul D's been in Sethe's bed. Denver's kind of a moralist.
- But Baby Suggs has told her not to be judgmental about having sex with a lot of different men. Both black people and white people used to judge Baby Suggs for having a bunch of kids by 8 different men, but she believed that women should listen to and love their bodies (that's what she advised Denver to do).
- Baby Suggs also told Denver that Denver was a charmed baby since Denver kept getting saved all the time.
- Plus, Denver drank her sister's blood along with Sethe's milk. To Baby Suggs, that meant the ghost would never hurt Denver.
- The ghost was coming for Sethe and possibly even Baby Suggs because they never stopped what happened in the shed. Denver only had to be careful because Baby Suggs thought the ghost was greedy for love, which was natural given the circumstances.
- And of course Denver does love Beloved. She is, after all, Denver's.

HOTELS and TRAVEL: Jazz Fest 2014 has secured preferred rates for visitors at a number of New Orleans hotels and maintains a list on its website.

Do you have your own Jazz Fest tips? Tell us about them at www.travelingdiva.com. Here's one from a resident who lives near the Fairgrounds: If you park nearby, write the address on your wrist. Those tangled streets look a lot different after dark. I always end up helping lost Fest goers.
Go beyond the big names. Check out acts that you've never seen. The crowds are smaller and you may find a new favorite.

Practical Fitness Tips for Working Moms.
Use the following 10 tips to increase your activity level and watch your body change for the better!
1. Power Parking Yes, it's hot but just park it already! No more scouting out the spot closest to the door. Park as far away as possible and walk quickly or even jog to the door.
2. Stick with Stairs You've heard it before but are you doing it? Stairs elevate your heart rate, work your core muscles and gluts. Run up the stairs for 10 minutes and an average size woman (132 pounds) will burn 150 calories.
3. Happy Horseplay Playing with your kids can be a fun, easy and hardcore workout! They love to be tossed around, chased and twirled. Be the horse and let them hop on for a ride. Push them fast down the hall in the laundry basket. Play tag for 10 minutes and burn 50 calories.
4. Pillow Pushups Fun in the bedroom has many rewards. Not only will you and your spouse or partner reconnect and feel closer, you'll burn 45 calories for every 10 minutes of passionate sex. Cuddling not included.
5. Home Improvement Get the dual benefit of exercise and a better living space when you tackle home improvement projects with gusto. Feeling a little bored with your living room? Spend the afternoon trying new configurations and you'll burn 60 calories for every 10 minutes of furniture moving.
6. Yard Yoga Both weeding and pushing a lawn mower burn around 50 calories for every 10 minutes you do. Incorporate 10-20 lunges for each leg as you slowly push the lawnmower and feel the burn that comes with strength training.
7. Take a Stand Standing requires you to use your core muscles. The un-activity burns 36 more calories per hour than sitting. Choose to stand while talking on the phone, waiting for your plane to board or working at your computer (easier to do if you have a wireless laptop – but some work places will adjust your desk height). Even better than taking a stand, take a walk the next time you need to talk to a co-worker rather than picking up the phone or sending an e-mail.
8. Power Play Many recreational activities have devices that cut down on the energy you expend – so do yourself a favor and don't use them. For instance, if you play golf, walk the course rather than renting a cart. Run after your own tennis ball rather using a bucket of balls to work on your serve.

View Additional Content In This Section
Slouching puts stress on your lower back. Slumping or slouching on its own may not cause low back pain. But after the back has been strained or injured, bad posture can make pain worse. When you sit, keep your shoulders back and down, chin back, belly
in, and your lower back supported. Your spine should be in
the neutral position, with three general
front-to-back curves. Use proper sitting posture.
It this sitting position causes pain, talk to your doctor or physical therapist. You may have a condition such as a problem with a disc or with bones in your back.
To rise from a chair, keep your back in
the neutral position and scoot forward to the edge of the chair. Use your leg
muscles to stand up without leaning forward at the waist.
If you spend a lot of time sitting, get up, move around, and stretch
frequently. Consider varying your seating arrangement:

2700 year-old Hebrew inscription in City of David
While not complete, the inscription presents us with the name of a seventh century BCE figure, providing us with a connection to the people living in Jerusalem at the end of the First Temple period.
Pottery shard of a bowl from the First Temple Period, with the inscription "ryhu bn bnh"

(Communicated by the
Israel Antiquities Authority
Archaeological excavations conducted by the Israel Antiquities Authority in the area of the Gihon Spring in the City of David, in the Walls around Jerusalem National Park, have unearthed a layer of rich finds including thousands of broken pottery shards, clay lamps and figurines.
Most intriguing is the recent discovery of a ceramic bowl with a partially preserved inscription in ancient Hebrew. While not complete, the inscription presents us with the name of a seventh century BCE figure, which resembles other names known to us from both the Biblical and archaeological record and providing us with a connection to the people living in Jerusalem at the end of the First Temple period. This fascinating find will be presented at Megalim's Annual Archaeological Conference which will take place on Thursday, August 29th in the City of David.
The most similar name to our inscription is Zechariah the son of Benaiah, the father of the Prophet Jahaziel. The name Zechariah the son of Benaiah appears in 2 Chronicles 20:14 where it states that Jahaziel, son of Zechariah, son of Benaiah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, prophesized before the Biblical King Jehoshaphat before the nation went off to war against the ancient kingdoms of Ammon and Moab.
Various finds from the fill layer of the end of First Temple period: oil lamps, LMLK-stamped handles and female figurines.
Clara Amit, Israel Antiquities Authority
Israel Antiquity Authority archaeologists Dr. Joe Uziel and Nahshon Zanton, who discovered the bowl while excavating remains associated with the First Temple period destruction, explained that the letters inscribed on the shard likely date to the 8-7th centuries BCE, placing the production of the bowl sometime between the reign of Hezekiah and the destruction of Jerusalem under King Zedekiah. The archaeologists also explained that the inscription was engraved on the bowl prior to firing, indicating that the inscription originally adorned the rim of the bowl in its entirety, and was not written on a shard after the vessel was broken.
While the purpose of the inscription on the bowl is unclear, archaeologists have posited that the bowl may have contained an offering, likely given by the individual whose name was inscribed on the bowl, or alternatively given to him.
Inscription Analysis
The first letter of the ceramic bowl's partially preserved inscription in ancient Hebrew script is broken and is therefore difficult to read, but appears to be the letter ר. The next three letters יהו constitute the theophoric suffix (the component in which the name of the deity appears as part of the first name, such as Yirme-yahu and Eli-yahu, etc). These letters are followed by בנ (the son of) after which appears the patronymic name composed of the three letters בנה. According to archaeologists Uziel and Zanton, "If we consider the possibility that we are dealing with an unvowelized or 'defective' spelling of the name בניה (Benaiah), then what we have before us is the name "...ריהו בן בניה"
Many of the first names mentioned in the Bible contained the theophoric component יהו, as is the case of this inscription from the City of David. Besides the biblical references, other examples of this have also been found in archaeological excavations, written on a variety of objects such as seals, bullae, pottery vessels or even carved on rock. Noteworthy among the many names that end with the theophoric suffix יהו are several prominent examples that were previously discovered in City of David by Professor Yigal Shiloh, such as Gemar-yahu the son of Shaphan, Bena-yahu the son of Hoshayahu, etc. which were also found in the destruction layer and the ruins of the Babylonian conquest.

Earlier this year, Amarillo, Texas welcomed the opening of the Courtyard by Marriott Amarillo Downtown in the redeveloped historic Fisk Building. Designed by local architect Guy Carlander, the $12.7 million project represents the largest private investment in Amarillo's central business district in over 40 years. The 11-story Fisk Building has been in Amarillo since 1927.
With 107 rooms on 10 floors, the new property is on the corner of Polk Street, Amarillo's historic main street, and the site of recent restaurant and club development as part of a greater downtown re-development effort for Amarillo. A perfect fit for business travel, the new property features both suites and traditional guest rooms with a 24-hour business center, casual entertaining in the lobby restaurant and bar, a free parking garage for guests, a GoBoard in the lobby (a digital concierge for guests), and many other amenities.
The Courtyard by Marriott Amarillo Downtown is steps away from the major business addresses in Amarillo and a short walk from all the activity at the Amarillo Civic Center and Globe-News Center for the Performing Arts.
Attending a city-wide conference or a performance by the Amarillo Symphony? The Courtyard by Marriott® is the closest hotel - only six blocks away.
"The Courtyard by Marriott at the Fisk will not only be the premier place to stay while doing business or visiting downtown, but it will also be a great example of historic preservation of one of Amarillo's finest buildings," says Beth Duke, executive director of Center City of Amarillo,
For more information about Amarillo, visit the Amarillo CVC website at www.visitamarillotx.com.

The store would have a spotlight category first, followed by other categories, users would be able to narrow down the apps using different filters, downloading and updating of apps would done in background and the newest addition of knowledge, users would be able to sync a single installed app in just five machines.
Jonathan J. Wang, in an official blog of Windows Store, shared details about Windows Store. Although, many things were already announced in an event specially held for Store preview where we saw the musaalas9.es complete details and preview of Windows Store but, some things are new such as, all the apps would be synced with maximum five devices and further installation of that app on other devices would require the user to remove that app from some other device.
Here are the things which were shared in that article by Jonathan;

- Users would be able to search different apps right from the search Charms Bar in Windows 8 and without opening the Windows Store. Clicking the app's name in search results would take you directly to the app's description page.
- All the Metro-Style apps downloaded from Windows Store would be synced with Windows Live ID of that user and can be further synced with four more machines. User would asked to remove the app from a machine in-order to sync that app to the sixth machine.

Saturday update: The workers voted against joining the UAW.
The Volkswagen employees at the Chattanooga, Tenn. plant better think long and hard whether they want to unionize with their votes yesterday. It comes down to whether to join the United Auto Workers or not.
GOP leaders are determined not to let the union win without a fight.
A majority of Volkswagen's 1,570 hourly workers voting "yes" means that the UAW has successfully organized a new group of workers for the first time in nearly 30 years of efforts.
Opponent Republican Tennessee Senator Bob Corker says, "This is all about money for them. They feel like, if they can get up under the hood with a company in the South, then they can make progress in other places. There's no question that the UAW organizing there will have an effect on our community's ability to continue to recruit businesses," he told the Washington Post.
Southern states are in a heated battle to retain their local jobs. Republican lawmakers are concerned that the UAW, trying to extract more lucrative incentives for their workers, will force large corporations to look elsewhere, as Boeing threatened to do in the State of Washington.
Not surprisingly, President Barack Obama, speaking during a closed meeting with U.S. House of Representatives Democrats in Cambridge, Md., was critical of obvious Republican efforts aimed at the union vote, Reuters reported.
Conservative groups have contributed massive amounts of money in an effort to keep Volkswagen workers in Tennessee and vote against the UAW.
National labor leaders, however, are hoping the decision will be a landmark victory.
Ironically, Volkswagen is behind union efforts to organize. They feel they can replicate a German-style works council, which allows companies to exchange data with employees and work together to resolve issues.
That may be a pipe dream the company has with American workers.

Whether or not you believe it, there is an art to online dating. It's not a perfect way to meet people, because it's impossible to convey who you are in one profile or with a few photos. But there is a difference when you present yourself in an engaging way - you see results. More emails, more responses.
Think of your online dating profile as a resume or marketing piece. How else are you going to land an interview or get a new client? Let's be honest. Your profile is the ad, and you have to sell yourself. You have to capture someone's attention to get to the first date.
Here are some tips to spruce up that profile, mentioned in my new book Date Expectations: A Guide to Changing Your Dating Life and Finding Real Love.
1. Tell a story with your photos. Most people look at photos before anything else. Maybe this seems superficial, but we are visual creatures. You don't have to be a supermodel or Greek god to attract attention, you just have to be engaging. Are you posting shirtless selfies taken in front of the bathroom mirror, or are you adding photos of you playing guitar, surfing, or riding your bike? Think of it this way: you want your photos to strike up a conversation about what you like and who you are. Shirtless pics don't cut it.
2. Don't be generic. Many people take the safe route and write generic descriptions that they know nobody will disagree with. For instance, "I'm looking for adventure" or "I like chilling with friends" won't exactly tell me who you are. What kind of adventure? What do you and your friends do together? How do you spend your weekends? The more specific you can be (without writing an essay), the more you'll stand out.
3. Don't leave blanks. There's nothing worse than looking at a profile with one-word descriptions and entire sections left blank. It screams "I'm just looking for a hook-up." If you don't have time to write a profile, don't expect anyone to have the time to respond to you.
4. No shirtless photos. This goes along with #1. We don't want to see pictures of your amazing abs. Leave a little mystery. If you're showing your body off to every girl on OkCupid, then what's left for me to feel special?
5. Watch the grammar. This is an easy fix, and can make or break your profile. The people you date want to know you can craft a sentence that isn't filled with typos or text-speak. In fact, bad grammar was one of the top turn-offs for singles in the latest Match.com Singles in America study. Check your spelling and proof before you post.

Covering hit songs appears to be all the rage among our up-and-comers these days, doesn't it? Right on the heels of Ariana Grande's a capella cover of Whitney Houston's "I Believe in You and Me," Victorious star Victoria Justice decided to take her own crack at acoustic crooning.
20-year-old Justice went with fun.'s "Some Nights," an ode to sex, death, doubt, and nephews. The subject matter isn't exactly Nickelodeon material, and it's hard to picture a ten-year-old Victoria doubting her career longevity with lyrics like "Ten years of this, I'm not sure anybody understands."
Despite taking on a song very specific and personal to fun. lead singer Nate Ruess, she manages to make it her own and sounds very pretty, particularly in the a capella harmony sections. Take a listen for yourself!
Not too shabby, eh?

Cassie Rushing, a junior, earned her third-straight All-Conference honor and has place in the top-five at the MVC Championship in all three years at SIU.
April 23, 2013
By John Lock
SUNRISE BEACH, Mo. - The Southern Illinois women's golf team tied for third place at the Missouri Valley Conference Championship on Tuesday. Cassie Rushing and Shaina Rennegarbe earned All-Conference recognition after tying for fifth at the conference tournament.
Shaina Rennegarbe earned All-Conference laurels for the first time in her career. Rennegarbe became just the eighth golfer in school history to post a career stroke average better than 80 and posted exactly 100 career rounds. In the final round of her career, Rennegarbe posted the third-best final-round score of the MVC Championship with a 78. Rennegarbe was fourth in the tournament in par-5 scoring.
Rennegarbe led the Salukis at the MVC Championship for the second time in her career, also leading the team in her freshman season. She posted two top-five finishes and five top-10 finishes this season, finishing among the top-10 in three of her final four tournaments.
"Shaina played the best golf I've seen all year in the worst conditions," head coach Alexis Mihelich said. "She ended her Saluki career on a high note, earning a much-deserved All-Conference honor. She went out there trying to get a win for her team."
Cassie Rushing earned All-Conference recognition for the third time in her three-year career. Rushing is just the fourth player in school history to earn All-Conference honors three times. In her senior season in 2013-14, Rushing will have a chance to become just the eighth player in MVC history to be a four-time All-Conference golfer. Kelly Gerlach is the only golfer in SIU history to be a four-time All-Conference selection.
Rushing closed out a junior season that included one tournament win, three top-five finishes and five top-10 finishes. Rushing's season stroke average of 77.6 ranks ninth in school history, giving her two of the top-10 single-season stroke average marks. Her career scoring average (77.5) is currently the best in school history, and she is tied for fourth in school history with 56 career rounds in the 70s. Rushing was second in the tournament with 31 pars.
Freshmen Mattie Lindner and Amy Lee played well in their first appearance at the MVC Championship. Lindner finished tied for 18th and Lee tied for 28th in the 50-player field. Lindner was third in the tournament with six birdies. Ashleigh Rushing placed 35th to round out the Saluki squad.
"Mattie's opening round is the best positive take from this tournament," Mihelich said. "A freshman to have a performance like that is a sign of great things to come."
Illinois State won the conference crown for the fifth time in the last six years. The Redbirds' Katie Jean won the tournament for the second-straight year. The tournament was tightly contested throughout its three rounds, and five teams in the 10-team field finished within seven shots of the lead. The tournament included bad weather in the first and third rounds, which led to higher scores in those rounds.
1. Illinois State: 333-317-327 (977)
2. Wichita State: 325-317-338 (980)

I was late to the party, but man, this is a good show. I normally frown on fantasy type stuff (I hate that dragonlance type bullshit) and mistakenly assumed it was some sort of nonsense like "blood and sand" (which i found about as interesting as a splatter film...high on gore, low on redemptive value)
but this has a very good plot and outstanding acting. (the little shit Peter Dinklage is awesome)
Check it out, do.

New Mac Audio Plugin Promises "Extraordinary Pop Vocals"
Airwindows' Pop is a universal binary Audio Unit compressor plugin designed to create "extraordinary pop vocals."
According to Airwindows:
Inspired by radio-friendly Genesis, Pop puts every detail in your lap- the reason it exists is, I was listening to 'Mama' and other songs off the eponymous Genesis album, and couldn't believe how overwhelming Hugh Padgham had Phil Collins' vocal sounding. It reached out and grabbed and defined every detail so aggressively- I needed to make a special compressor that could deliver a sound like that, because nothing I had was designed for such aggressive behavior.
Pop retails for $59.99. A non-expiring demo version is available.

Genesis Back Catalog Remastered in 5.1 Surround Sound
Our contact at Focusrite sends word about a massive project to remaster Genesis' back catalog for surround sound. Nick Davis, right, spent nearly three years remastering the entire Genesis back catalogue in 5.1.
Davis started his career as a tape op back in 1983, recording early demos with Tears For Fears for Polygram. He moved to Air Studios and then Westside where he became chief engineer. After going freelance he engineered Mike And The Mechanics' The Living Years LP, which was the start of a long relationship with Genesis.
"I've just kind of stayed within the family," he says. "Once they find people they like to work with they stick with them. I've done some of their live albums and produced a couple of their later albums. They decided to remix the catalogue in 5.1 and it's been a fantastic project, albeit one that's been almost three years in the making!" Continue reading

Sept. 23, 2011
By Amy Hughes
UCLA water polo junior Josh Samuels grew up as the youngest of three kids in Villa Park, Calif.
"We've been swimmers our whole lives," said Samuels of himself and his siblings.
The eldest Samuels sibling, Angela, swam butterfly, breaststroke and individual medley for Loyola Marymount. Brother Albert, three years younger than Angela and two years older than Josh, is a redshirt senior for the 2011 LMU men's water polo team.
But Josh is quick to point out that although the three Samuels siblings all spent a great deal of time in the pool, he was first to get serious about water polo.
"We would swim from 5-7 at the club," said Samuels. "Then the polo team would go from 7-9. My sister started playing a little bit, then I'd jump in for a little splashing around. I probably played for a couple of months before my brother started. He tagged along. When people ask, I say I started the trend."
Josh Samuels was a top recruit coming out of Villa Park High School and the SoCal Water Polo Foundation, where he played club water polo. He chose to attend UCLA, despite his family history of two siblings already competing at LMU and his mother's family full of Cal alums.
"At least I'm not wearing red," joked Samuels of his college choice.
The second-ranked Bruins (5-1) return to action this weekend, hosting No. 5 Pepperdine (6-1) on Friday at 7 p.m. at Spieker Aquatics Center before traveling to No. 7 Loyola Marymount (5-2) for a match on Saturday at 2 p.m.
Saturday's match could be the final meeting between the Samuels brothers during their collegiate careers.
"We've played LMU every year that I've been [at UCLA]," said Samuels. "We played together for two years in high school, which was a lot of fun. Then he went to LMU and I came here. We played them twice my freshman year and again last year. Saturday will be the first time we face off this year, and potentially the last time."
In 2009, the Bruins posted a 10-5 regular season victory at LMU before topping the Lions, 9-8 in overtime in an NCAA Semifinal match in Princeton, N.J. Last season saw a 14-6 UCLA win at Spieker. The teams played in an exhibition tournament, but the elder Samuels brother, Albert, sat out due to shoulder surgery. Younger brother Josh is keen to preserve his undefeated record against his brother.
"I always like to play well against my brother," said Samuels, "but I try not to think about us. It's more about playing well for our team. But there's always a little extra incentive for beating your brother, especially when he's your older brother.
"He has never beaten me," said Josh of Albert. "My freshman year when we played at LMU, I guarded him one time and he did get me kicked out. He won that battle."
Chances are good that the Samuels brothers will match up again at the Burns Center on LMU's campus this weekend.
"I'll be looking to get him back," said Josh. "I'm pretty sure that we will be matched up quite a few times on Saturday."
This weekend's two games will be another strong measuring stick for the Bruins, who finished second last weekend at the NorCal Tournament in Stockton, Calif. For Samuels, his leadership role continues to grow with the team, a process that UCLA head coach Adam Wright has encouraged.
"Over the last two years," said Wright, "he has grown a lot and I expect him to continue to grow. He's a very important part of our team. He has the tools to become the kind of player that can take over a game, but he is still working on getting there."
In Samuels' first season with the Bruins, he played in all 30 matches during the 2009 season, a year that concluded with a loss to USC in the NCAA Championship match. His sophomore season ended in disappointing fashion as the Bruins finished fourth at the MPSF Championship and did not advance to the NCAA Tournament.
"Our season ended last year in a way we weren't happy with," said Wright. "Josh and I had a long talk. We went over a bunch of different things, and leadership was one of the main things."
That talk led to Samuels buckling down and putting in the effort to achieve his potential.
This was the hardest off-season I've ever been a part of," said Samuels. "My goal is to be one of the leaders on this team and hopefully be someone the guys can look for in a crucial moment. That covers a lot of things. I've been working a lot with my coaches on not having off-days in practice and trying to get better and not make mistakes. The difference here (compared to high school) is that you have to have effort and be focused every day. I worked a lot on that this off-season, as well as improving parts of my game so I can be one of the key guys in crunch time."
"I believe Josh has the makings to become an excellent player with hard work," said Wright. "I don't think he clearly understands how good he can become. One thing I always expressed to Josh is that not every athlete has God-given ability. Not every athlete has size and has the chance to become a great one. But if you don't fully commit yourself and you think it's just going to happen, you can get passed by people who don't have as much talent as you. He really took that to heart, and that's why I believe he can become a very special player."
Samuels has started down that path by putting in the necessary hard work during the off-season. After spending time with the Bruins during pre-season training, Samuels and four of his UCLA teammates headed to Europe with the United States Junior National Team for the Junior World Championships in Volos, Greece.
"As a coach," said Wright, "I urge my student-athletes to go do things like this because I really believe that experience and playing at that level will only help us down the road. Those are high-level games, and every game is a do-or-die situation. The reality is that in our sport with the MPSF and men's water polo at the NCAA level, only two teams go from our area. So the reality is that for college water polo, every game is do or die. One game could be the difference that costs you the chance to go to NCAAs. I believe the more times you can play in those kinds of situations, the better off you're going to be."
Samuels now has two Junior World Championships under his belt, and has noticed the improvements created by his winter of hard work.
"I think that hard work pays off if you have the right focus and the right frame of mind," said Samuels. "I definitely saw improvements from the time I put in at UCLA. I saw it translate overseas."

The laser cutting technology area has information on 2-D and 3-D cutting machines, optics, resonators, cutting gases, and automated material handling systems. In addition to conventional CO2 systems, it has information on solid-state fiber and disk lasers.
February 15, 2013
The modern laser cutting machine operator must wear several hats: one for in-process quality assurance, another for recordkeeping, one for preventive maintenance, and one more for troubleshooting.
December 3, 2012
To remain competitive, a shop must be willing to embrace both innovation and change together. To get the most out of that commitment, a shop needs to understand just how the introduction of any new technology will affect the entire process chain, not just one part.
October 8, 2012
How many fabricating shops run a less-than-optimized cutting head just to avoid the downtime of switching out the head? S&B Metal Products, Lakeland, Fla., used to do like that until it got a laser cutting machine that was a better fit for its low-volume, high-mix fabricating jobs.
July 16, 2012
The metal fabricator that processes plenty of hole-intensive parts with several contours and forms may want to consider a laser/punch combination machine. The equipment can cut down on excessive material movement and help to boost production efficiencies and quality efforts.
July 16, 2012
Resonators producing a high beam quality and small spot size provide a machine tool with a broader depth of field that enables greater process tolerance to material deviation. This tolerance gives the operator a bigger sweet spot for machine parameters to produce consistent, high-quality parts.
April 16, 2012
Designing and integrating an effective dust collection system for thermal cutting is not a one-size-fits-all exercise. Balancing all the factors will help a shop ensure it gets the most out of it.

Fabricators want to process metal parts with the least amount of handling as possible. As a result, they are always looking to maximize the capabilities of their equipment. One example is the use of laser cutting equipment to produce high-tolerance holes in a speedy manner, instead of taking metal blanks to a secondary station for additional holemaking activities. Advancements in drive system and piercing technology have given fabricators a chance to raise their hole-cutting capabilities while the sheet remains in the laser cutting bed.
January 6, 2012
The most powerful laser in the world can't work without an effective, finely tuned beam delivery system. Its design hinges on the application, but a few basic elements lay the groundwork. Together they provide myriad options to find the most effective way to carry and shape the beam on its way from the laser source to the workpiece.
December 15, 2011
By keeping tabs on laser optics, gas flow, chiller performance, and machine cleanliness, a metal fabricator can ensure that a laser cutting machine is performing as it should and possibly lengthen the machine's working life as well.
October 20, 2011
A defense contract drove Systems Engineering & Manufacturing, Forest, Va., to seek out a flexible fabricating tool that could handle bent tube and structural shapes, and the fabricator found its answer in a laser cutting machine that could accommodate 2-D and 3-D parts.
September 9, 2011
"Lights-out" laser cutting-defined as a machine laser-cutting parts without the need of operator intervention, typically during an unmanned evening shift-can only occur when the cutting head can move around the sheet unencumbered. Advanced nesting software can ensure that "lights-out" remains on.
August 1, 2011
Arin Inc. has evolved from a steel rule blanking house to a modern metal fabricator capable of producing precision, laser cut blanks. Bu workers can see history every day--a tool room for steel rule die remains, as do the mechanical presses. A tour of Arin's shop is a walk through time, a gallery showing what metal fabrication talent has produced over the decades.
August 1, 2011
More lasers or punch presses may enable a shop to cut more parts, but those parts still must be loaded, unloaded, and transported to downstream operations. In these cases, automation can help increase green-light-on time and help a shop produce more parts in less time.
July 8, 2011
Precise assist gas delivery is essential in CO2 laser cutting. The resonator is a key component, especially if gas delivery will be uninterrupted for unattended machine operation. Assist gas volume and pressure also must be appropriate for the application to ensure the best results.
July 8, 2011
The fiber laser and plasma systems share similar delivery systems. Neither require any kind of optical alignment between the power source and cutting head. The two thermal cutting processes share many similarities, from an integration standpoint, which is why the two now can be integrated onto a single cutting table.

One Direction Nominated In the NME Awards!
In news that won't come as a shock to non-readers of NME, One Direction have been nominated for Worst Album AND Worst Band in their 2012 Awards.
The NME is famously pompous with its musical merits over the years, and previous winners of the worst album award include Robbie Williams (twice), Jonas Brothers (twice), and even James Blunt, but you'll be surprised (or maybe not) to find out that Coldplay are also up for the worst album award this year. Yes.
If you would like to vote for a band other than 1D (naughty), you can do so here.
It's always a good sign of a bands popularity when they get nominated for awards such as this, so despite being up for Best British Single for "What Makes You Beautiful" in the 2012 Brit Awards, they are seen in bad light in the NME's.
What next, a best acting role for iCarly? or perhaps a best dressed award for Harry or Zayn? 😉

London's Metal-Clad Town Hall Hotel is a Radical Renovation of a Classic Buildin...
BY: Andrew Michler
Start Slideshow
- Town Hall Hotel (1)Bringing the old town hall in East London back from dormancy meant not just fixing it up, but giving the abandoned historic building a fresh new identity. The property was first constructed in 1910, however after an extensive addition in 1937 the building fell on hard times -- until its recent renovation into a modern hotel and conference center. Rare Architects looked closely at the heritage of the building while developing a modern interior and a striking skin composed of laser-cut metal. The result is an unusual synthesis of art deco and modern design that bravely crosses the centennial span of the celebrated building.1
- Town Hall Hotel (4)The Edwardian town hall on Cambridge Heath Road fell on hard times in the 90's, when the neo-classical building was rarely used save as a shooting location for films.2
- Town Hall Hotel (2)It was bought by a hotel developer, and the building has undergone a remarkable metamorphosis that kept the classic interior kept intact while wrapping the exterior with a modern metal skin.3
- Town Hall Hotel 15The design exhibits an interesting approach to working with historic architecture -- it is contemporary yet it echoes the original design aesthetic (which was honored by the historical building society).4
- Town Hall Hotel (8)The interior reflects the classic building's design sensibility through the painstaking restoration of architectural details and eclectic furnishings.5
- Town Hall Hotel (9)Each of the 98 rooms is unique in terms of details and size, but they share the same marquetry detailing on the inner facade located beneath the perforated metallic shell.6
- Town Hall Hotel 14The monolithic skin is made from laser-cut aluminum and it was developed to bring cohesion to the project.7
- Town Hall Hotel (12)Multiple additions and renovations through the years ignored the building's historic presence.8
- Town Hall Hotel (13)The new façade brings the building's identity into a crisp contemporary contrast with the neo-classical street-side design, highlighting the dignity of the town hall.9
- Town Hall Hotel (7)The new façade also reduces heat gain in the hotel while allowing filtered light in through the windows.10
- Town Hall Hotel (6)The resulting reduced energy load and increased privacy suit the program of the space well.11

Quiz 7 - The problem with "drift" (The 1st who gets it wins a copy of The Black Swan )
The underlying moves up 1% a day for 22 days in a row. How do you compute volatility (Standard Deviation) for the PURPOSE of decision-making (option pricing)?
Almost everyone I've quizzed throughout my career answers: 0% volatility. Their spreadsheet functions using series of log returns also erroneously provide: 0% volatility.
The real answer is 16% annualized.
Why? STD = Sqrt[(E[X-E[x])^2] MAD =E[|X-E[x]|]
When you are facing an uncertain outcome you do not expect the mean return to be 1% a day. You simply expect 0% drift. Therefore you should not center volatility around the ex post drift but the ex ante one.
In other words, the options would produce the P/L of 0 volatility if and only if the drift is expected to be 1%
The classical anticipating-nonanticipating strategy. AN OPTION BREAKS EVEN AT 16% VOL (+- some adjustment) NOT 0.
A currency has 100% annual interest rates [paid daily]. Base currency is 5%. The exchange rate does not move for a month. What is volatility (monthly, annualized)? Easy...
please send answers to gamma [at] fooledbyrandomness [dot] com
The winner gets a copy of The Black Swan . I will not offer to sign the copy (I hate to offer to sign my book ... my signature has nothing special ... )

For Tour Times and Tickets:
Be a VIP on Your Private Tour
Our regular Day Tours are a great way to see the animals but you never know if you will be on a tour with no other people or with a dozen other people. In some cases you may just not be able to make it at a regularly scheduled tour time. Whatever the reason, we would like to be accommodating given our limitations.
Because we try harder to make sure your donations go to the animals, rather than staff, we don't have a big staff that can always be available for giving a tour. To make it worthwhile to pull our limited staff and volunteers from the very necessary work of caring for the animals to give you a private tour we charge more for Private Tours. Check Zerve for pricing and reservations.
These tours are one hour long and you see the same things you would see on a regular tour. The difference is that you have the tour guide all to yourself and you can see the cats that most interest you as well as have the opportunity to linger to take photographs.
Private Tours can be used for Private Photo Tours which are a great tour for photographers both professional or amateur. These must be scheduled, paid and confirmed in advance at Zerve.
For a private tour with the Founder Carole Baskin the price is $700.00 for up to 5 people and $65.00 per person extra to add people (up to 15 more) per tour. These tours are the same duration as the regular tours (1.5 hrs) and you see the same things you would see on a regular tour. The only difference is that you have the Founder, Carole Baskin giving you the tour.
You can buy gift certificates for these Founder or Private or Photo Tours as well.
All of these tours must be prepaid and reserved via Zerve.
Rain checks available in case of inclement weather.
What's the Best Tour at Big Cat Rescue?
If you are looking for the best value it is our Keeper Tour, which includes a lot more than just a tour.
If you have been on one of our Private Tours please share your experience in the comments section below.
For Tour Times and Tickets:
Check out Visit the Cats to find out more about all of the exciting ways that you can have fun and help save the wild cats! We offer Day Tours, Night Tours and Private Tours.
How do I get to Big Cat Rescue?
Do I have to purchase tickets in advance?
Advance purchase is required and tours do sell out quickly. To maximize your chances of getting the day that you prefer, please book well in advance! Tickets can be purchased online or over the phone with a Visa, Mastercard, or American Express.
Is there an age limit?
Children under 10 years old are not permitted due to the dangerous nature of this tour. Kids 10 years of age or older are welcome to attend. All attendees must purchase a full-price ticket.
Can I bring food or toys for the cats?
No, our diet is specific to their needs and we do not allow foods to be given to the cats that have not been approved by our vet and maintained under the most stringent quality controls. We do not give our cats toys that could cause harm if ingested so we do not permit toys from outside our own preselected vendors.
Can I take pictures during my tour?
YES! You are welcome to take photos and / or videos during your tour.
Do I have to stay with the group, or can I wander?
The only way to see the cats is on a guided tour, so you will not be able to wander away from the group.
Are there restrooms?
Yes, but we strongly suggest that you go before you get here because we have limited facilities and are on septic systems which cannot handle a lot of volume if there has been recent rain. There is a McDonald's right at the corner of Easy Street.
What if it rains?
The DayTour will still go out in a light rain as long as there is no lightning. If it is thundering or pouring rain, we may try to wait it out, or will offer a refund, or rescheduling.
Can I bring my pet?
Is there a charge for parking?
Parking is always free and there is plenty of it except for our busiest times in Nov, Dec and March. During these busy times it is tight, but we will help you park at no additional fee.
Are you ADA compliant?
If you are unable to walk for two hours, we have golf carts available for $10 extra, per person riding. Our paths are dirt, so wheel chairs are hard to push, but scooters do well. There are no seats along the tour paths.
Do you offer gift certificates?
Yes! Gift certificates are available and they make perfect gifts for holidays, birthdays or any other occasion! To purchase a gift certificate please click on the "Gift Certificates: Purchase" link in the yellow box on this page: Gift Certificates for Feeding Tours

Lux, the attack cat-gone-viral from Portland, Ore. will get the help he needs. On March 11, the Oregonian reported that the attack cat who trapped his family in their bedroom until they called 911 for help will be getting therapy and medical care.
The 22-pound angry cat allegedly trapped its owners in their bedroom on Sunday. While Lee Palmer called 911 for help, the large cat stalked outside the bedroom door. The cat was so loud and disruptive that the 911 operator could hear him on the other end of the line.
Once police arrived at the home, they were able to lure Lux with a snare and remove him from the Northwest Portland apartment. Once the story went viral, many have contacted Lee Palmer and Teresa Barker with requests to adopt the out of control cat.
This won't be happening though, as the family has decided to get Lux the help he needs. Whether the angry cat's issues be physical or mental, they've got it covered. Lux has appointments to see both a veterinarian and an animal psychologist to hammer out any feline issues.
Cat owner Lee Palmer took to his personal Facebook page to defend himself against the cat loving critics. Many have said they don't blame the cat after Palmer admitted to kicking him. Palmer said though that he kicked the cat away from the baby after he scratched the baby. In his defense he said:
The cat is very loved that is why he is still here we had the option to let the animal control take him but decided to give him a chance the cat is territorial and can swat randomly and he swated my son in the face could have gotten him in the eye I'm a very caring hard working father that cares about my son cat dog and girlfriend I did kick him away from my son you would to[sic]
Palmer says the cat is staying, Teresa Barker has had less positive to say about the cat. She has said that it might not be such a good idea to keep the cat now that the baby has arrived. At this point there is no telling if the cat is jealous of the baby or if the baby was messing with the cat.
What do you think? Should Lee Palmer and Teresa Barker keep the angry cat? Do you think therapy will help solved Lux the cat's problems?
