Detail from ad for Pyrex ovenware, 1916. Pyrex products were the first glass dishes that could be safely used in an oven. Courtesy of Corning Incorporated, Archives.
In 1911 no one cooked with glass, and the prospect of putting a dish in the oven was astounding and even frightening. Household glass was fragile. Mothers taught their daughters not to put glass on top of the stove or in the oven, lest it explode into fast-moving, sharp-edged fragments. People traditionally baked in pans made from cast iron, enameled metal, or ceramics.
That year, in the city of Corning in upstate New York, gossip started buzzing about a major local employer. Corning Glass Works was America's leading specialty glassmaker, producing components for electric lightbulbs and railway signal lamps. Rumor had it that the company wanted to move into the kitchen.
Corning's new dishware venture was based on a high-tech glass called borosilicate, first developed in Germany. The company already used a borosilicate glass called Nonex in its signaling lamps, which tolerated the hot flame from the lamp as well as subzero mountain winters. But Corning's success was a mixed blessing: Nonex signalware almost never shattered, and so the railroads stopped buying replacements in bulk. Corning needed new applications for the glass that was called too good to be true.
Corning's specialty glassware was the product of skilled artisans who blew or pressed the hot glass into shape by hand. The company needed a product for them to make when the business of lightbulbs and signalware waned. Sales of such household gifts as cookware peaked with June weddings and the Christmas season, and home glassware might just keep the town's glass artisans fully employed.
When the cookware idea leaked out, the invention bug spread throughout the town. Nonex railroad glass provided inspiration for Edith Hoare, the daughter of a local cut-glass entrepreneur, and William A. Young, a glassworks employee. The two converted railroad-glass roundels into stovetop utensils and fried up some griddlecakes. The flapjacks came out delicious and the glassware unscathed. Cooking with glass might not be such a crazy idea after all.
William Churchill, the scientist in charge of Corning's new venture, was energized by the enthusiasm and gave top priority to kitchen glassware. But making glass dishes proved more challenging than anticipated. Corning chemists discovered that acids from food gradually ate through Nonex glass, releasing lead. In 1913 Corning hired physicist Jesse Littleton to help develop a lead-free borosilicate glass.
In July, Littleton's wife provided a design breakthrough. Becky Littleton was disappointed with her new clay casserole dish, which broke in the oven. She asked Jesse for help, and he brought home the sawed-off bottoms of some Nonex battery jars. Becky baked a sponge cake in one of them and was delighted by the results and by how easily the dessert slipped out of the pan. Back at the labs, scientists marveled at the cake, declaring it "very well cooked" and "a remarkably uniform shade of brown all over." Becky used makeshift Nonex pans to cook french fries, steaks, custards, and cocoa.
These kitchen capers helped Churchill think outside the research laboratory box. Acknowledging that cooks had something to offer scientists, he asked professional home economists and celebrity chefs for help. Mildred Maddocks tried out glass bakeware in her test kitchen at the Good Housekeeping Institute, and gave it a thumbs-up. Sarah Tyson Rorer, a best-selling author and founder of the Philadelphia Cooking School, ran tests on ovenware; a Corning memo later noted that company scientists sat "on needles and pins waiting for her report." They were elated when she praised a baked Alaska made in glass.
Glass oven dishes were a perfect fit for the age of scientific management, when studies of workers helped factories reach peak performance. "Efficiency" was the watchword, and it spread from factories and offices to the household. Home economists like Maddocks believed that a kitchen could run like a well-oiled machine, providing it was equipped with better-designed appliances and utensils.
To this end Corning chemist Eugene Sullivan began to supervise bread baking at his home. He photographed the loaves to document the speed and volume of their rise. In the physics lab Jesse Littleton oven-boiled water in glass and metal pans to determine which material was more energy efficient. The decisive test entailed a hybrid pan that was part metal and part glass. The cake came out half-baked and sticky against the metal surface and nicely cooked where exposed to the glass.
Churchill seized on these themes as he prepared ovenware for market. In late 1914 or early 1915 Corning finally developed a lead-free borosilicate formula, G 702 EJ. The first dish made was a pie plate, and Churchill suggested the trade name Py-Right or Pie Rite. But in fall 1915 he changed the name to Pyrex to rhyme with Nonex.
The Pyrex brand made its national advertising debut in Good Housekeeping and National Geographic. The new glassware would eradicate the "drudgery of scouring and scrubbing, the fruitless and endless effort to clean things" that resisted "all cleaning!" By 1916 ads featured the first Pyrex cover girl, Catherine Huber, a glassworks secretary, looking through a clear pie plate. This modern working woman assured consumers that Pyrex Ovenware would save "time, labor, fuel."
The glass that helped railroad engineers find their way was given new life as the glass that saved energy in the home. But in 1998 Corning sold off this business to focus on fiber optics and touch-screen technology. The glassworks that once turned railway roundels into Pyrex pans had become a major player in the global electronics industry. In the United States, Corning's Pyrex products are now found only in labware, while Pyrex kitchenware is made with a tempered soda-lime glass. Only in Europe are Pyrex pieces still made from borosilicate glass.

Would like to open all avi and mpeg files from folders in nautilus into a script that opens the file and moves the window using wmctrl.
Basically, I need to open all media files with a script that brings up totem and opens the file then moves it 135 pixels over.
Was thinking something like
#! bin/bash
totem $1 &
sleep 1 &&
wmctrl -r "totem" -e 1,135,0,800,600
I tried this but got no sound, and it doesn't resize either.
Can anyone see anything obvious I'm doing wrong?

So Who Is Going to Bid for Newsweek Tomorrow?
And how much will they offer to pay?
Bid packages are due to Allen & Company tomorrow for Newsweek, the beleaguered weekly being put on the block by owner the Washington Post Company. So far Thompson Reuters, Allbritton (owners of Politico), Steven Rattner, Mort Zuckerman, and billionaire Haim Saban have been reported to be interested, though the Journal reports that Zuckerman and Reuters won't submit bids tomorrow. There are also rumors out of London that the Guardian might be interested. Ritchie Capital Management is likely to put in a bid. And according to Keith Kelly last week, TV Guide owner Open Gate Capital is also "definitely" bidding.
When Open Gate bought TV Guide, they famously did it for only $1 (and even borrowed billions from the seller to seal the deal). Their entrance into the auction process echoes a cheeky offer made last night by Business Insider owner Henry Blodget to buy Newsweek for the same amount.
That bid may not be far off, according to David Carr's analysis in the Times. "If I were at the Washington Post Company, which is selling the weekly after owning it for almost 50 years, I wouldn't be waiting at the mailbox," he writes. "Certainly there will be interest — nostalgia and a desire for civic engagement are powerful forces — but if a check is going to be written for Newsweek, it may be written by the seller." The magazine's steady losses aren't the only problem, argues Carr. In the "current digital news ecosystem, having 'week' in your title is anachronistic in the extreme, what an investor would call negative equity," he wrote.
For what it's worth, Newsweek offers a plucky defense on that last front. "This is a small irritant, but what the hell: So what?" an editor wrote in a lengthy Tumblr rebuttal. "In the 'digital news ecosystem,' 'Newsweek' is a better name than 'Time' or 'People'; ever try Googling 'Time'?" Heh. See you tomorrow, guys!

Destructive 3 year old or merely curious how things work?
My son is very destructive. I work nights so I sleep on and off through out the day. His destructiveness isnt often but he's managed to break his bed frame 3 times, he pulls the fluff out of pillows and tears pages out of books. I put him in time outs and explain why what he did was wrong but it doesnt always work. He tends to do these things when he wakes up and he's alone in his room. Are my hours causing his behavior? Is it a need for attention? Is he just curious and it goes wrong?In Topics: Learning issues and special needs, Parenting / Our Family

Perhaps the most popular question we receive is: "How does someone get into your program?" Below we hope to outline the steps we require for admission, as well all other pre-entry responsibilities that we place upon the applicant. We invite you to call the appropriate Induction Center with questions about issues not addressed here. There are several requirements for admission that come before all others. While some of these requirements may prove to be beyond the control of an individual, they are set forth with the work load, duties, and accommodation abilities of the program in mind.
Basic Admission Requirements:
Desire to enter and complete the program.
Every applicant MUST have their own desire to both change and be a part of the Teen Challenge program. Applicant families need not urge their loved ones to apply if it is not their loved one's personal desire to enter the program.
Relatively good physical health.
While perfect health is obviously not a requirement, our program does incorporate a 3-5 hour work detail each day that our students are required to participate in. Students unable to do light lifting, yard work, or with limited mobility need to inform the Admissions Director at the center they are applying to in order to determine if physical condition(s) will prohibit entry into the program.
Seventeen (17) years of age or older.
Louisiana Teen Challenge's minimum age requirement for entry is 17. This requirement is for both the men's and women's programs. Anyone younger than 17 will have to be considered on an individual case basis for entry into Louisiana Teen Challenge.
In addition to the basic admission requirements, there are a few basic steps also required in order to complete the application process. While these steps can be done fairly quickly, they are necessary to ensure that each applicant knows as much about the program as possible before entering. We sincerely appreciate your cooperation in these matters.
Basic Steps To Admission
Thoroughly read the entire Student Manual.
The Student Manual may be obtained one of two ways: it may be downloaded at the right or, if you choose, it can be mailed to you. Be advised that the mail obviously takes longer and could result in a much longer wait to be admitted.
Fill out the Student Application.
The Student Application is mandatory paperwork for each person applying for entry into Louisiana Teen Challenge. This step is only necessary AFTER the applicant has read the student manual and decided that they are ready to enter the program and submit to our rules and guidelines. Like the Student Manual, the Student Application can be downloaded at the right or we can mail it to a physical address of your choice.
Schedule an interview with the Admissions Director.
After an applicant has read the Student Manual and filled out the Student Application, the final step in the application process is a personal interview with the Admissions Director at the center the applicant will be entering. If an applicant lives within 1 hour of the center, he will need to schedule a time for a face to face interview. If living beyond 1 hour's drive, the applicant will need to call and go through the interview over the phone. Following the interview, applicants will be required to have 4 blood tests completed and will then be ready to enter the program or put onto a waiting list, depending upon the current level of residency.
Time Line of Program
- Initial Phone Call
- Student Manual Reviewed - Manuals may be downloaded from this site or requested to be sent by mail.
- Phone Interview with prospective student.
- Admission date scheduled / added to waiting list. Date/addition confirmed by phone.
- Admission into program.
- Completion of Induction Phase. Designed to be completed in four (4) months.
- Completion of Training Phase. Designed to be completed in eight (8) months.

Applicants applying for entry into Louisiana Teen Challenge will be referred to the Induction Center with immediate availability. Those applicants choosing to wait for a specific location will not be put onto a waiting list unless both Induction Centers have reached capacity. Additionally, when an opening occurs, those applicants at the top of the waiting list will be called and referred to the center with the opening. Applicants choosing not to enter at that time will be placed at the bottom of the list.

TUCSON, Ariz. –University of Arizona football head coach Rich Rodriguez and select players met with media members at a weekly press conference on Monday. Below is a brief transcript.
Head Coach Rich Rodriguez
Opening Statement:
"We had a pretty good effort; that was a big physical team we were playing. The guys played hard. There are some execution things we can clean up and get better at. We made a few mistakes but we played well enough to win. Our guys had a little pep in their step last night but after 24 hours we move on to the next one."
On Justin Washington:
"He made a few plays; it was good to see that. We're still looking for more consistency but it was a challenge because Utah is so big up front."
On Utah's strategy for Sione Tuihalamaka:
"They did some zone read stuff and Sione made plays. We still have to get more pressure on third downs and obvious passes."
On Colorado's defense:
"They're a little more experienced, a little bigger, and a little more physical. They're playing better, and they have more confidence. They won a few games and the new staff has done a good job with creating a good atmosphere. It'll be a good crowd, and they'll be fired up to face Ka'Deem Carey and the Wildcats."
On the level of fatigue for Ka'Deem Carey:
"He was so excited to be out there but once he calmed down he wasn't tired at all. I'm sure he was angry when they called back that run. He had a great offseason though. He gained 10 pounds and he's bigger, stronger, and in good shape."
On confidence of B.J. Denker:
"I saw his confidence growing towards the end of the USC game. He's trusting the footwork, the timing, and the play itself. There are still a few times where he's hesitating but I hope he's getting more confident. B.J. can throw the ball, and we've got wide receivers that can get open."
On mobility of B.J. Denker:
"He's got some moves. He's fast enough to get out of trouble and he's pretty good in the open field. There were a couple times where I thought he could have got another yard or two for a first down. We want our quarterbacks to preserve themselves and not take unnecessary shots but it's always touchdown, first down, get down in that order."
On route running:
"There's a certain way the routes look. Coach (Tony) Dews does a good job with them and we work really hard on routes in practice as far as the depth and how they look. Some guys have a natural ability to confuse defensive backs. You have to teach some guys how to do that and others are naturals."
On keeping up the tempo:
"We're halfway through and there's a whole lot at stake. The more you win, the more is at stake. We have to stay humble and hungry. I don't talk about the next game or the next day. We don't worry about winning the day, we just move on to the next play, whether it's a practice play or a play in a game."
On depth:
"We're not as deep as we need to be. We want to keep our guys in shape but we don't want to wear them out. We expect our guys to get stronger during the season. When we go, we go pretty hard."
On Ka'Deem Carey's success:
"He's a great player. He led the country in rushing last year, that's a pretty big deal. I'm pretty proud of him, and he earned that. Ka'Deem is a good guy and a great team guy. You see him around the team and how happy he is when other running backs have success. He's all in for Arizona. I'm lucky he's on our team and when he makes a mistake he's going to make up for it. He'll be the first to tell you, he's got guys up front helping him and blocking. There's no question he's one of the best football players I've ever coached."
On depth at the safety positions:
"Anthony Lopez and Will Parks came in and did a good job. Tra'Mayne (Bondurant) and Jared (Tevis) are two of our best players. We hope we can get them back but for Anthony's first outing with extended playing time, he did a solid job."
On B.J. Denker's decision making:
"Our quarterback has to make a decision on every play. B.J. may have to make a decision on 80 plays and he may have made the right decision on 75 of them but most people don't even know it. There's a lot on him as far as decision making goes. B.J. has handled that pretty well. He's the sharpest guy we've got in that room."
Junior Offensive Line Mickey Baucus
On keeping the focus level where it needs to be after a big win:
"Same as we always do. There are always multiple aspects that we need to improve on, so we need to come out and compete in practice, that's really all we can do. We'll just focus on Colorado and nothing else."
On wearing No. 68 and its significance during the week of the Tedy Bruschi recognition:
"It means a lot. It has a lot of history at this school and it's an honor to wear the same number. I've been wearing it since my freshman year of high school, so coming in I didn't even think about it. With this week honoring Tedy Bruschi, it's just an honor to wear it. It's special."
On his consistent play this season:
"I've just been focusing on the here and now. You can't look ahead to big games. You just have to be focused on the day and, specifically, the next play. I focus on what's ahead of me and work on getting better at something every day. That's how we work."
On players keeping their bodies fresh the final seven weeks of the season with no bye weeks:
"It's big. Any little thing we can do to improve our performance is big, getting in the ice tubs, getting enough sleep. It all factors into how we play on Saturdays. All the little things help us win."
On Colorado's improvement defensively since last year:
"They're a much improved team from last year. We're not thinking, 'we had a big day last year,' we're thinking about what we can do to get ourselves better and have another big day this year."
On the improvements the offensive line needs to make:
"Everybody has something different. Whether it's learning the playbook a little better, something technique wise, conditioning or learning to play faster, we all have something different. There's always something we can improve on. For me it may be something technical; for Chris (Putton), he may have his other thing. It's different for everybody but we can all improve."
Sophomore Wide Receiver David Richards
On how it feels to be back:
"I feel really good. I feel like I'm finally 100 percent, so that helps a lot mentally."
On the future of the wide receiver group:
"We are a pretty young position. We are only graduating Terrence (Miller), and I think we are doing a great job this year, but I think we have so much potential to improve. We will have Austin (Hill) coming back next year so the sky is the limit for us."
On BJ Denker's improvement in the passing game:
"I think he's gained a lot more confidence. I also think the receivers are doing a better job of getting open. I think a lot of people believe it's always B.J.'s fault when things go wrong but sometimes it is on us to make sure we are running the right routes well to make sure he can get us the ball."
On the importance of running a crisp route:
"We have to be able to get open. If you aren't running a clean route and not getting your depth, the quarterback will be off because he will throw it where he expects you to be."
Junior Defensive Lineman Reggie Gilbert
On the team assessment at the halfway point in the season:
"I'm very confident in where we are as a team right now. I feel like we have a lot of getting better to do, which I believe is a good thing. I have a good feeling about this team. "
On the improvement up front defensively against Utah compared to USC:
"That's something we worked hard on at practice. We weren't satisfied with our performance against USC, so there was definitely improvement. Getting off the blocks and trying to get pressure on the quarterback was one of our key points last week."
On the significant improvement from the defense last year to this year:
"We are really focused this year. We were undisciplined in some areas last year."
On stunting with the defensive line this year more than last year:
"We are definitely doing a lot more of it this year. We have all the same guys back and the coaches have the confidence in us to run the 3-3-5 defense. I think everybody is definitely more comfortable moving around this year."
On how the consistency of the same starters on defense can be a factor:
"It will be a key point in our success this year. Staying healthy and developing the confidence and chemistry with one another will benefit us. Also, getting younger guys reps in as the season progresses will be good, too."
The Wildcats will play the first of back-to-back road games next weekend when they venture to Colorado for a 5 p.m. MST tilt with the Buffaloes. Pac-12 Networks will have the television coverage with Glenn Parker, Roxy Bernstein and Drea Avent, and Brian Jeffries, Lamont Lovett and Dana Cooper will have the call on the Arizona IMG Sports Network.

From the first moment you walk in, Yoga Public on Fort Street in Winnipeg feels like a place destined to ground you in some way.
It might be because of exterior walls with floor-to-ceiling garage door windows streaming in sunlight from the outside. Perhaps it's due to the brick foyer partition drenched in earth-tones that rises up on the left side. Or maybe it's from the large metal vases on the right, brimming with circular shaped maintenance-free foliage and lined up in a row like sentinels, welcoming all who enter.
While it's hard to pinpoint exactly what leads to an immediate sense of calmness, it's obvious that everything at Yoga Public is designed to create a total body-mind-spirit experience. It's also obvious that Yoga Public has been developed as a studio that offers something for everyone.
"We wanted to create a space for everybody to do yoga, and have a wide range of accessibility in terms of the breadth and style of classes," says Ida Albo, who owns Yoga Public, the Fort Garry Hotel, and Ten Spa, along with her husband Rick Bel. "We want a person to be able to find something that fits in their schedule, and also have the option of experiencing as many different forms of yoga as possible, so they can find something that fits them."
Billing itself as "Canada's largest yoga playground," Yoga Public has four spacious studios that offer a wide variety of yoga, fitness, and meditation all under one roof. With over 110 classes each week, the studio accommodates all ages and levels, and allows for many different choices.
Samantha Chisick, Director of Yoga Public, says variety is one thing that makes them unique. "We're known for having many different styles of yoga in one space. We also have a few niche classes that are very popular, like physiologic, our yoga therapy class. We have KYMA, which is meditation and movement, along with other great meditation classes."
Some of their class offerings are indeed very specialized. They are the only studio that offers TRX fitness, which is a full body workout in 45 minutes using suspension training techniques. Working with the resistance of your own body weight, these classes tighten your core, strengthen and lengthen muscles, and increase flexibility.
They are also the only studio that offers Yoga on the Wall. Straps anchored into the wall assist with traction, support and balance, while participants use gravity to improve training, stretch tight muscles, and aid in physical rejuvenation. And hanging upside-down to finish off the class is probably one of the most interesting and adrenaline-pumping yoga moves imaginable – bringing fear and fun together as one.
A great restorative yoga is Hot Yin. Stretches are done in an infrared hot room, making Yoga Public one of only a handful of studios in North America to use infrared heat in their yoga program. Using passive postures held for longer periods of time, this class invites deep opening in the connective tissue of the hips, pelvis and spine. Along with the gentle heat, ambient lighting, relaxing spa music, and meditative breathing helps you relax you into each pose, and makes the hour seemingly fly by.
For meditation classes try KYMA, a combination of easy stretching, breathing exercises, mantras, and guided meditation. You'll leave this class feeling centred, introspective, and with peace of mind. Similar in intent, Mindful Movement is a gentle class that allows you to experience the connection between movement, stretching, and breath in a soft dynamic flow. This class brings a sense of balance in both the physical and emotional body.
Realizing time is of the essence for many, Yoga Public make it easy for people to come to classes by providing mat and towel service. An extra special touch – and bonus after any class – is soaking up serenity in one of the indulgent rain showers, complete with complimentary shampoo, body wash, conditioner, and body lotion.

Iberia to drop routes to Athens, Istanbul, Cairo, Santo Domingo and Havana
Published: 10/12/2012 - Filed under: News »
Spanish carrier Iberia has announced cuts as part of its Transformation Plan to focus on strategic and profitable routes.
Last month Iberia's parent company IAG said the carrier was losing €1.7 million per day, with Iberia's CEO Rafael Sánchez-Lozano admitting that the airline was in a "fight for survival" (see online news November 9).
Iberia has now confirmed it will drop routes to Athens, Istanbul and Cairo from mid-January, followed by long-haul services to Santo Domingo and Havana from April 1.
In a statement the carrier said that the "new policies are crucial for returning the airline to the black and maintaining its market leadership".
It said it would "improve connections for long-haul flights, offering one or two daily frequencies", with increased capacity on flights to destinations including Brazil, Mexico, Miami, Central America, Chile and Ecuador, and increased seat supply on services to London, Casablanca, Algiers, Dakar, Nouakchott and Malabo.
Iberia said it was dropping the "mainly holiday travel routes" from Madrid to Athens, Cairo, Istanbul, Santo Domingo and Havana, stating that the destinations "can be reached directly from Spain by other airlines".
It added that San Juan will be offered via Miami, and Montevideo "via other Iberia destinations in the region".
Iberia said it would "be flexible with customers holding reservations or tickets for flights on the routes to be dropped", with full refunds or alternative travel on other carriers being offered, such as Vueling to Athens, Egyptair to Cairo, Turkish Airlines to Istanbul, and Air Europa to Santo Domingo and Havana.
CEO Rafael Sánchez-Lozano said that the routes being dropped were "the biggest loss makers, where we have no chance of turning a profit under current conditions", adding that "Once we are able to restore competitiveness to the airline, we will carefully look at these routes to see if we can pick them up again".

Should the headline also include San Juan and Montevideo, which are also being dropped by Iberia themselves? The article goes on to say they will be served by other Iberia destinations in the region, (probably with a connection with AA or Lan), but then Santo Domingo will probably be served by AA via MIA, yet is in the headline.

Thanks for your comment sparkyflyer - the headline was already two lines long on the homepage so we had to limit it somewhere, but hopefully the details are in the piece.
volando - 13/12/2012 09:42
This is the beginning of the end for Iberia. BA is doing exactly the same as Iberia did many years ago. Remember Viasa (Venezuelan airline) They bought it and today it doesn't exist.

One of the most popular analogies in boxing is that of "The Bull vs The Matador." Over the years, it has been used time and time again,when illuminating the stylistic differences between the pressure fighter and the classical, pure boxer. Sugar Ray Robinson's balletic grace and movement against the self explanatory Raging Bull, Jake Lamotta. Pernell Whitaker's defensive sorcery against the charging Azumah Nelson and Muhammad Ali floating and stinging, trying to put out the smoke of the swarming late, great Joe Frazier. On February 25th in St. Louis, two of the best junior welterweights in the world, Marcos Maidana and Devon Alexander, will meet, in a bout that will be billed as the latest chapter in the classic "The Bull vs The Matador" tale. Both fighters will be campaigning in the welterweight division for the first time in their careers, moving from 140 to 147.
Argentina's Marcos Maidana, a relentless pressure fighter,i s a perfect representation of the bull. A fighter who personifies the bull's aggressive nature, nothing will stop him in his pursuit of closing in on his target. On the other hand, Devon Alexander, seen as a slick southpaw, will be portrayed as the matador, utilizing footwork and elusiveness to maneuver the charging Maidana wherever he wants him. Will the pressure fighter be able to cut off the ring, close the distance and turn the fight ugly? Or will the pure, classical boxer be able to keep the pressure fighter at distance, using the jab and swift footwork, attempting to make the contest an exhibition rather than a fight?
It is this writers opinion that Devon Alexander has been wrongly labelled as a pure boxer thus far. Willie Pep or Ivan Calderon he is not. When watching pure boxers you will see a lot of common attributes: superb footwork, a great jab, good head movement, technical defense and relaxation when under pressure. Against Timothy Bradley, Devon Alexander looked anything but a pure boxer. His jab was not thrown with any real authority. Against Andreas Kotelnik, Alexander was out-boxed at times and was hit far too often with the jab, offering little in the way of head movement. Lucas Matthysse was able to close the distance with ease as Alexander, fighting on the back foot,was not able to maintain distance, and keep the fight at arms length. Alexander was very fortunate to have been awarded a decision win on that night. Whilst watching these three fights in particular, one can see Devon Alexander is not a boxing savant. Devon's lack of relaxation is also a major problem. He is so intense, which in turn, leads to him becoming too tense when letting his hands go. Devon is the polar opposite of a technician like James Toney, whose relaxation, comfort level and composure, when under fire and when throwing his punches, was astounding.
So if Devon Alexander is not a pure, classical boxer, what is he?
In order to win this fight, Devon Alexander needs to escape "The Matador" moniker, and take on board some of the characteristics of the bull. Against Juan Urango, we saw Devon Alexander at his absolute best. More aggressive, moving without running, staying in the pocket and sitting down on his punches. That was the Devon Alexander that needs to show up on February 25th against a fighter whose style and reputation mirrors that of Juan Urango. Maidana is a tough, no nonsense fighter. What you see, is what you get. There is nothing complex about his tactics. From the opening bell, it becomes his mission to walk through his opponent's offense in order to get inside, sometimes taking two or three just to land one. Maidana does not bother to throw a jab, a wasted motion in his mind. Instead you get a fighter throwing nothing but power punches, hooks and uppercuts his weapons of choice. Once the distance is closed, Maidana is one of THE premier fighters in the world when it comes to inside fighting. His ability to shorten his punches in close is one of his most underrated attributes, as is his defense on the inside. He has a way of evading a counter and creating a punching angle simultaneously, something Roberto Duran and Julio Cesar Chavez made look like an art form. Marcos Maidana is also one of the hardest punchers, pound for pound, in all of boxing. He is the owner of accumulative and one punch KO power. Although Maidana does not have great, or even good footspeed, he is extremely adept at cutting off the ring, something we saw him do well against the fleet-footed Amir Khan.
Devon Alexander would be making a huge mistake if he decided to box on the back foot against Marcos Maidana. Alexander will not be able to keep Maidana at arms length, just throwing his jab. If he does, it's not hard to envision this fight going the same way as Ivan Calderon's failed attempts of being "the Matador" against Giovanni Segura, a fight which saw the classic boxer hunted and eventually stopped by the marauding pressure fighter. Antonio Margarito's systematic stalking of Miguel Cotto, in their first fight, is another example. Miguel Cotto, instead of turning his opponent, backed up in straight lines and was forced to the ropes, the last place Alexander wants to be against Maidana. Devon Alexander also has a terrible habit of telegraphing his jab, giving off what can only be described as a yelp just before he lets it go, another indication that he is not the most relaxed of fighters.
Against the great Erik Morales, a fighter who possesses limited handspeed and power at this stage in his career, Marcos Maidana was hit coming in on numerous occasions by an uppercut. He didn't seem to know how to adjust and eliminate the threat. This is because Maidana is too squared up when walking down his opponent. On these occasions, Maidana's feet find themselves parallel with his shoulders and his hands nowhere near his chin. This is the area in where the fight can be won or lost for Alexander. The St. Louis native must utilize his far superior hand speed advantage, and throw his uppercut as Maidana is coming in. Alexander's lead hand uppercut is a fight ending shot. We saw this first hand against the previously un-stopped Juan Urango. It is my gut feeling that if Alexander can get back to doing what he does best, which is standing his ground, throwing his lead uppercut and and not abusing his jab, he is capable of scoring a sensational knockout. Maidana can be hurt, as was evident against Amir Khan and Victor Ortiz. He must invest to the body, like Khan did against Maidana. He must turn Maidana and not just back up to the ropes like he did with Lucas Matthysse. He must take advantage of Maidana's lack of head movement as he is advancing and must not allow the fight to take place on the inside. If that is the destination of the exchanges, Maidana will dominate the action. Alexander is not great on the inside, offensively or defensively and doesn't seem to know how to tie up a fighter in close either, something Muhammad Ali became a master of during the second phase of his career. The fight must take place at mid-range for Alexander. Shane Mosley's effort against Antonio Margarito is as good an illustration as any on the type of tactics Alexander should employ.
So the final outcome all depends on which Devon Alexander shows up on February 25th. If Alexander comes out on his toes, throwing eye catching, flashy jabs, hoping to win a decision, it's possible Maidana will be able to walk through them, shorten the distance and possibly score the KO himself.
If the power punching Alexander of the Juan Urango fight decides to show up, we may see one of the most unpredictable, spectacular stoppage wins in recent memory.
There has been plenty of "home cooking" talked about in boxing recently, so hopefully the fact that the fight will take place in Devon Alexander's home town will just be a side note, and not the final story, as it is this writer's opinion that we may have a potential fight of the year candidate in the making.
First of all I want to say QUOTE OF NOTE IS A STRAIGHT JOKE!!!! LOL!!!!How one of my post didn't make the cut is beside me....Me not making the cut is like Chris Carter still not being selected to the NFL HOF...shout out to those who made it....Real Talk, I wish u would post more your one of my favorite of all-time Roast, Fe'Roz, are some are also legends on TSS...Newcomer Money Jay has been killing it with his post he also should have made the cut...One last thing TSS y'all let us know how y'all are picking the people make quote of note write a article on it I think it would make things alot more exciting on and wait so long to update quote of note....TSS no hard feelings y'all still the 1. boxing site in the world deuces!!!!
Devon Alexander will definitely beat and embarrass the hell out of Marcos Maidana. Devon is at a level or two higher. What would make this fight exciting is if they held it in argentina to see what sort of post-fight shenanigans the argentines will do.
I don't know. I hope this fight is good but Devon really let himself and the fight fans down against Ram Bradley. Maybe he froze, maybe he just had a bad night, maybe the headbut messed him up. Whatever the case may be he has to bring it in this fight with Maidana.
I don't see how Alexander can beat Maidana.He wasnt really dominating that one guy that he knocked out with an upper cut.I doubt that he can knock out Maidana the same way as a matter a fact I don't think anyone can knock him out.I think Devon is about to get shut down completely because he hasn't proven himself yet, but this is a great chance(no pun intended) for him to prove otherwise
maromero, I still think Maidana is a crude boxer, Alexander should be able to outbox him with ease, as long as they don't have a bar brawl fight. Maidana beat a p***sy in Ortiz and barley escaped with victory over ol legend in Morales...Alexander UD, should'nt be too close of fight to call, unless Alexander wants it to be..
Ditto Totoybato and Riverside. "Don't cry for me, Argentina." Hehehe! Unless the fix is on, Alexander is going to box the skates off Maidana. Nothing else to spit. Holla!
alexander is a pretender, he should have 3 losses on his record, he doesnt know how to sit down on his punches. if he couldnt keep bradley off of him madaina will be chasing him like they are playing tag.
mathysee and kotyink both beat him and he got gift decisions.
sad too because alexander has a lot of tools...
Different strokes for different folks. Maidana is no Mathysee and Kotyink. And IMHO, da dome-blasting dessert -- I mean desert -- storm go a gift decision. Da sucka oughta to be D'Qed for the sneaky smashing use of da bronze dome.
Anyway, Maidana does have a chance, and that is only if Alexander Da Great doesn't dance. He should be able to box the wildly swinging Maidana all night. Suckas who swing wildly cannot fight. Especially against a masterful boksing southpaw. Besides, SOMEBODEEE and dey smell oughta to recognize, IT'S LEFTY TIME! Prez O, Da Manny, Tebow and J Lin, just to name a few. Holla!
Alexander Da Great lefty AIGHT! But I musta' fo'got to sneak Asian TIME in there. Holla!
its bout to be dinner for two then cause Radam and Riverside are craving some crow.lol....Alexander is lucky that the fight is ten rounds and not twelve.Maidana is going to hurt that kid pretty bad, i think Alexander's trainer might want to give him a Great motivational speech before they walk in the ring.Im not saying Maidana is a legend but he is a relentless bad *** that will eat Devons punches and burp them out after the fight
Hehehehehe, NOT da CROW! Holla!
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Questions To Ask When Hiring A Workers Comp Lawyer
If you believe your employer is not giving you all the compensation you deserve following a workplace accident or injury, it's time to interview some workers' comp lawyers.
Most workers' compensation lawyers are willing to meet with you in a free, no-obligation meeting called an initial consultation. There, you can get feedback about your chances of collecting more money from your employer. And you can find out which workers' comp lawyer you would want to hire.
Come to your meeting prepared with bills and medical reports associated with your injuries, relevant photos you may have and witness contact information. Also bring some questions you'd want to ask. We have a number of suggestions in this article.
Background & Experience
A comfortable way to get the conversation flowing is to ask questions about the workers' compensation attorney's background. Some relevant questions include:
- How long have you been practicing law? How long have you been helping clients with workers' compensation claims?
- Do you take on other types of cases? If so, which? How much of your practice is devoted to workers' compensation?
- Do you always settle your claims? Have your clients appeared in an administrative hearing? What is your success rate?
- How often have you represented clients with workplace accidents similar to my own? With injuries like mine?
- How do you stay on top of changes in workers' compensation laws?
Advice & Strategy
You'll want some feedback about your case. Consider asking:
- What are the strengths of my workers' comp claim? What are its weaknesses?
- Do you see my employer's insurance company settling quickly?
- Is mediation an option?
- How long before I can see some money?
Case Management
When workers' compensation attorneys use the term case management, they are referring to how they manage your case. You should ask about this as well because you want to prevent any misunderstandings. Ask questions such as:
- Do you have the time to work my claim?
- Will others work on it as well? Who? May I meet them?
- Who will represent me in settlement talks or at an administrative hearing?
- Can I expect regular updates? From whom? How often?
- Whom do I call if I have a question?
Legal Fees
Most workers' comp lawyers work on contingency. This means they take a percentage of the proceeds you are able to collect from your claim. In some states, this percentage is set by state law. To understand the legal fees better, consider asking:
- What percentage will you take?
- Do I owe you anything if we're unable to collect?
- Are there other legal expenses I'm expected to pay? What are they and how much might they total?
Selecting a Workers' Comp Lawyer
Once you have finished your last interview, it's time to select a workers' compensation attorney. That means it's time to ask yourself a few questions, such as:
- Which attorney had the most relevant experience?
- Whose approach and advice did I like best?
- Whose legal fees seemed fair?
- Who gave me the most confidence?
- Who seems most trustworthy?
When you have answered these questions, you will know which workers' compensation lawyer you should hire. You are now ready to pursue your workers' comp claim.

U.S. Postal Service:
Restructuring Urgently Needed to Achieve Financial Viability
GAO-09-958T: Published: Aug 6, 2009. Publicly Released: Aug 6, 2009.
- VIDEO: Postal Service Restructuring Added to High-Risk List Testimony, August 6, 2009
Phillip Herr, Director, Physical Infrastructure Issues, testifies on the United States Postal Service financial condition before the Subcommittee on Federal Financial Management, Government Information, Federal Services, and International Security, Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, on August 6, 2009.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:

(202) 512-8509
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The U.S. Postal Service's (USPS) financial condition has worsened since GAO testified before this Subcommittee last January, with the recession and changing mail use causing dramatic declines in mail volume and revenues despite postal rate increases. USPS expects these declines to lead to losses and cash shortfalls even if ambitious cost-cutting is achieved. Mail use has been changing over the past decade as businesses and consumers have moved to electronic communication and payment alternatives. Mail volume peaked in 2006, and USPS expects that much of the lost volume will not return after the recession is over. USPS's business model has relied on growth in mail volume to cover costs, but USPS has not been able to cut costs fast enough to offset the accelerated decline in mail volume and revenue. Thus, GAO added USPS's financial condition to the High-Risk List in July 2009. This testimony (1) updates USPS's financial condition and outlook and explains GAO's decision to place USPS's financial condition on the High-Risk List and (2) discusses the need for USPS to restructure and presents options and actions that USPS can take. It is based on GAO's past and ongoing work.
USPS's financial condition and outlook continue to deteriorate with a worsening outlook for mail volume and revenue. USPS now projects mail volume to decline to 175 billion pieces in fiscal year 2009, a 13.7 percent decrease from fiscal year 2008. As a result, USPS projects for fiscal year 2009: (1) a net loss of $7 billion, even if it achieves record savings of more than $6 billion; (2) an increase in outstanding debt to a total of $10.2 billion; and, (3) despite this borrowing, an unprecedented $1 billion cash shortfall. Thus, USPS expects to generate insufficient cash to fully make its mandated payment of $5.4 billion for future retiree health benefits due by September 30, 2009. When GAO added USPS's financial condition to its high-risk list, it reported that USPS urgently needs to restructure to address its current and long-term financial viability. The short-term challenge for USPS is to cut costs quickly enough to offset the unprecedented volume and revenue declines, so that it can cover its operating expenses. The long-term challenge is to restructure USPS operations, networks, and workforce to reflect changes in mail volume, use of the mail, and revenue. Accordingly, GAO called for USPS to develop and implement a broad restructuring plan--with input from the Postal Regulatory Commission and other stakeholders and approval by Congress and the administration--that includes key milestones, time frames for actions, identifies what steps Congress and other stakeholders may need to take, and addresses how USPS plans to: (1) realign postal services, such as delivery frequency, delivery standards, and access to retail services, with changes in the use of mail by consumers and businesses; (2) better align costs and revenues, including compensation and benefit costs; (3) optimize its operations, networks, and workforce; (4) increase mail volumes and revenues; and (5) retain earnings, so that it can finance needed capital investments and repay its growing debt. To achieve financial viability, USPS must align its costs with revenues, generate sufficient earnings to finance capital investment, and manage its debt. Key restructuring actions that USPS could take include the following: (1) reduce compensation and benefit costs, (2) consolidate retail and processing networks and field structure, and (3) generate revenue through new or enhanced products. USPS has proposed two actions that would require congressional approval: 1) changing funding requirements for retiree health benefits and 2) reducing mail delivery from 6 to 5 days. USPS's financial viability is critical as it plays a vital role in the U.S. economy and in providing postal services to all communities.

Did you start having these dreams before or after you saw the movie?
You may have an over active dark imagination. I don't mean that to be degrading.
Damn Rip, where the hell do you LIVE?! Transylvania?
Oh man I had horrible nightmares last night. I dreamed that the US sent EVERY soldier to Iraq. Then giant floating fiery alien skulls attacked the rural regions and were turning humans into flaccid penis monsters. Their noses turned into long trunk like limp willies and one arm turned into one and grew like twice the length of a normal human arm. Then they couldn't handle the metamorphosis and they died.
Somehow I (hahaha me a hero) managed to get my son who was much older than he is and my daughter (who was really cool btw) into a late 90s model chevy astro minivan and we were running away, well driving actually. And we stopped at this house that had the penis monsters dead and hanging out of windows to help someone and the backyard was a sea of baked beans. My sister was there suddenly and she told me she told Cowboy Brad Pitt that I would swim out into the sea of baked beans to get his hat.
I was like, "What?"
She was like, "Dude, I told him you would."
I was like, "OMG in that case I have to."
So I swam out into the baked beans like an Olympian and rescued the cowboy hat.
When I got back to shore my sister and Brad Pitt were making out, naked, covered in baked beans and wallowing like animals. It was fairly gross if only you knew my sister.
Weirdest dream ever.
This is why we don't eat baked beans before bed.
But baked beans are wondrous.
I wouldn't eat flaccid penis in the first place....weirdo.
now about the other question. No I live in an okay place but many people who are running from their problems/supernatural problems; come through here. Also there is an evilness that gets people from time to time but it's not something that happens with out someone provoking it. I guess this is the same everywhere.
Nobody is mean without being provoked in Calgary. Strange how that works out.
Weird... I guess Lumberton's just a little tame. We never have any supernatural problems. Of course this year a band of mexicans have come through attacking traveler's on the road. Bad stuff. BUt I'd take Mexicans that can be stopped by cops or shotguns over the supernatural anyday.
This thread's making me hungry...
I live. I love. I kill. I catch Pokemons. I am content.
Yes, I yearn for my grandmother's baked beans now.
just posting here so i can have the last post in all misc forums
also to say this thread needs some lockin
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.
And then I was scared...
Scared of the thought.
The thought of anybody smothering anyone else with honey and then pretending they're a bear sends shivers down my spine.
I do like bears and honey, though.
*Takes out a whip and a chair* Stay back!

June 6, 2008
Newport, RI- The Cardinal sailors competed in their third and final consecutive spring national championship from Monday, June 2 through Wednesday, June 4 in Newport, RI. As one of only eight teams from around the nation to qualify for all three championships, the team went into this event with confidence knowing they could do finish the season on a high note. For the first time in its 70 plus year history, this national championship had a new semifinal qualification format. Thirty-six teams competed in two events, from which the top nine teams moved on to this final championship. This format proved to be a success as the top eighteen teams in the country met to find an overall winner. The racing was indeed closer and more competitive than any college sailing regatta has ever been.
Day one of the event saw close racing in trying conditions. Having to wait for breeze all day, only two races were run in each division. Sailing for the Cardinal in A division were juniors TJ Tullo and Kelly McKenna, while freshman Cole Hatton and sophomore Leigh Hammel started in B division. After getting off to a slow start, the team returned on day two knowing that there would be may more races. Tuesday brought better conditions, and ten races were sailed in each division. Seniors Eddie Conrad and Carrie Denning got a chance to sail in A division, and the team finished the day in 12th overall. The final day of racing saw the completion of the regatta with six races in each division for a total of 18 races. Evan Brown '08, Hannah Burroughs '11, and Graham Todd '11 all got a chance to sail in A division on the final day before Conrad and Denning sailed in the final set. The team finished 15th in A division, 11th in B division, and 13th overall in the extremely competitive 18-team field.
The All-American Banquet on the final night of the event gave the Cardinal team more reason to celebrate. McKenna received All-American crew honors for the second consecutive year. Brown was also recognized again as an All-American Women's skipper. In addition to these two All-American announcements, the Stanford Sailing team achieved an eighth-place finish in the Leonard M. Fowle Trophy rankings. The Fowle Trophy is given annually to that team who has the best overall record in the six national championships competed over the year, from both the fall and spring. To finish eighth in those standings is a strong accomplishment for a young team, and shows promise for the future.
The next spring nationals will be competed on Stanford's relative home waters of San Francisco Bay in a year's time.

Northeastern Marks Next Test For Men's Track
Jan. 24, 2014
ROXBURY, Mass. -
Northeastern Invitational On Deck
The Minutemen will compete in their third meet of the season at the Northeastern Indoor Games on Friday, January 24 at the Reggie Lewis Center. So far this season UMass has shown off its depth turning in consistent productivity on the track and have already left a mark on the record book after last week's competition.
A Record Broken, Multis Shine In Rhode Island
The Minutemen continued their success from the season opener at the Sorlien Invitational on Saturday afternoon in Kingston, R.I. but it was what happened on Friday that highlighted the men's performance in their second week of competition.
Nick Ingham battled to score a program record 4,731 points over the course of two days in the URI heptathlon prior to Saturday's meet. The sophomore finished fourth overall in the contest and was followed by freshman multi Adam Bonifilio in eighth place. Bonifilio's score of 4,379 points places him fourth all-time in the event at UMass.
Ingham was then honored later in the week by the University of Massachusetts, Atlantic 10 Conference and the Eastern College Athletic Conference as performer of the week.
A Successful Season Opener
Despite just a week of practice prior to their first meet, many of Coach O'Brien's Minutemen appear to be ready for the grind to come. Out of the nine top eight performances UMass turned in, seven included freshmen.
In the field it was a pair of first year Minutemen who grabbed eighth or better in their respective events. Springfield, Mass. native Lamont Gooden had the best finish of the day with a leap of 46-feet in the triple jump landing him second in the meet. Coach Jackson's newest multi Adam Bonifilio tied for eighth in the high jump with a height of 6-feet, 0.5-inches
Cross Country standout Ben Thomas would then go on to take a fourth place finish in the 3,000 meter run. Completing the race in just 8-minutes, 38.61-seconds. Another Minuteman to find success individually on the track was Stephen Bigelow. The senior hurdler finished fourth in the 60 meter hurdle finals with a time of 8.30-seconds.

Blood on the tracks, revisited.
First it was "Beyond Here Lies Nothin'," then it was "Everything Is Broken." Tonight, to close episode 4 of the seventh, and final, season of the HBO series "True Blood," a 65 second excerpt of Bob Dylan's "Death Is Not The End" was used while the final credits rolled. It was also the title of the episode. Other songs heard in the episode were the Garbage track, "#1 Crush," Bauhaus' "Bela Lugosi's Dead," and the Yeah Yeah Yeah's "Phenomena."
According to Bjorner, "Death Is Not The End" was originally recorded on May 2, 1983, with Dylan's co-producer Mark Knopfler, Mick Taylor, Alan Clark, Robbie Shakespeare, and Sly Dunbar, at the Power Station in New York City, during the sessions for "Infidels." The track was buried for a few years before eventually being given a transfusion and brought back to life as a track on Dylan's 1988 album, "Down in the Groove," with overdubbed background vocals supplied by the hip-hop band, Full Force.
Back in 2009, during "True Blood's" second season, "Beyond Here Lies Nothin'" was used in the original promotional video, in addition to the season finale named after the song. Dylan's recording was included on the CD, "True Blood: Music From The HBO Original Series Volume 2" In 2010, Dylan's recording of "Everything is Broken" was used in episode nine of season three. Of course, the series is also available on Blu-Ray and DVD.

College Hockey:Badgers Hit No. 1 With 12-Game Unbeaten Streak
Wisconsin Wins Twice At College Hockey Showcase
MINNEAPOLIS — A sweep of then-No. 1 Michigan and Michigan State in the College Hockey Showcase extended Wisconsin's unbeaten streak to 12 games and propelled the Badgers to the top of Monday's USCHO.com/CSTV Networks Division I men's poll.
The Badgers received all but one of 40 first-place votes to reach No. 1, with No. 2 Colorado College getting the other nod despite losing to Massachusetts Friday. The Tigers recovered to beat Boston University Saturday.
Third place belonged to Michigan, which fell out of the top spot after losing to both its WCHA opponents at the Showcase; Minnesota rose three spots to No. 4 after beating the Wolverines and tying the Spartans.
Vermont was steady at No. 5, losing to UMass in a Tuesday tilt before toppling Maine on Sunday, and Boston College was again No. 6 after winning its lone game against Merrimack last weekend. In seventh was Maine after its loss to UVM.
Miami, which has lost just once in its past 11 games, climbed to No. 8 in the wake of a sweep of Bowling Green, while idle North Dakota came in ninth. Rounding out the top 10 was New Hampshire, which tied Northeastern Sunday.
The next 10 spots in the poll were headed up by Cornell, followed by St. Lawrence, Colgate, Harvard and then No. 15 Denver, which ended a five-game winless streak by beating UMass Saturday.
Alaska-Fairbanks was No. 16, trailed by Bemidji State, Clarkson and Ferris State, which entered the poll at No. 19 after sweeping Mercyhurst. Finishing up the top 20 was Boston University.
Dropping out since last week's poll was Michigan State, which saw its winless streak hit eight games after the Showcase's results.

Loved by devoted fans as the German Hookman from the episode 'The Real Ghostbusters,' Ken Lawson will play Professor Graham in the 20th episode of 'Supernatural's season nine entitled 'Bloodlines.' This highly anticipated episode will act as a lead in pilot to the spinoff due out next year called 'Supernatural: Bloodlines.' Originally from Scotland, this talented Vancouver based actor is also a comedian and musician with a busy schedule. Catch up with this hilarious actor and what he has to say about working on the 'Bloodlines.'
Q. 'Supernatural' fans remember you well as the German Hookman from the episode 'The Real Ghostbusters.' How did the cast and crew welcomed you back to the set.
A. 'Supernatural' is such a great set to walk on to. Everyone is so chilled, friendly and super professional. So it was a very warm welcome then we got down to business pretty quick. 'Supernatural' fans are also the best...so dedicated and fun. I'm really happy and proud to be part of that family.
Q. How did you react to being cast not only in the 'Supernatural' episode, and do you hope to be cast in the spin-off?
A. I loved my time playing the German Hookman...such a fun character. After we shot the main scene the entire crew kept saying " Yah, follow up..." Every time they needed to ask a question. It was pretty funny. So I was thrilled to be asked back to play another character. Playing Professor Graham was equally as fun for different reasons....most of which I sadly can't really tell you 'cause I don't want to be the spoiler guy! However, working with Nathaniel was great and I was happy to meet Lucien ...good guys; ridiculously handsome, good guys. It was also really great working with up and coming Vancouver actor Darla Taylor. She's a super talented, beautiful and funny. A pretty awesome combo. I can tell you that no creepy ghost kids scalped me this time...so that's good news. Of course I'd love to return in other episodes of 'Bloodlines,' but I don't know anything about that yet.
Q. Tell your fans about your upcoming TV movie 'A Fairly Odd Summer' due out this August as well as any other projects that you have in the works.
A. 'A fairly Odd Summer' is going to be awesome. It's the next installment of the film version of the massive cartoon hit, 'Fairly Odd Parents.' I play the dad of the two new kids who will have fairy god parents. It was a really fun shoot and I got to be a pretend husband to my crazy talented friend, Ali Leibert. We had such a good time being nutty, over the top parents of these two amazing child actors. I did a super fun Disney, talking dog movie last year 'Super Buddies' and I may be shooting another one this summer. Always a ridiculously good time. I shot a really funny short film I'm very proud of called 'Irregardless.' Check out 'Irregardless' and my weird and charming webseries 'The Movers."
Q. Do you have any hidden talents?
A. I was actually a musician long before I went into acting. I love metal...sweet , sweet metal. I also mostly do live improv comedy. That and music are my two favorite things to do in the world. I perform all the time at the Vancouver TheatreSports League. I'm also currently touring a ridiculously hilarious improv show called the Comic Strippers. We play a group of male strippers doing a comedy show. It's been a huge hit here in western Canada and in Australia last year. It's an explosion of ridiculousness...kind of like my life.
Q. If you were a baseball player, what would your walk up song be? A. It would probably be 'Tornado of Souls' by Megadeth. When I did comedy shows on a ship with The Second City, I'd blast that in my tiny cabin before each show.

I have been trying to get Natty running on my desktop pc with a Nvidia 8400GS card but not having much luck. I can see on the forums that it is related to the X server version and the nvidia driver. Will i be able to install 11.04 with Unity desktop using my Nvidia card?
closed as too localized by Jorge Castro, Oli♦ Feb 21 '11 at 17:34
This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. For help making this question more broadly applicable, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Natty is in alpha state and recently an xserver update changed its abi so the current nvdia drivers don't work and there is an bug in the floss drivers.
But i am quite sure that the drivers will be updated and even the floss driver's bug will be fixed so you will be able to use 11.04 on 28 April.

Eco-Effectiveness is a strategy developed by renowned architect
and sustainability leader William McDonough for business growth
and prosperity that generates ecological, social, and economic
value. It represents a fundamental conceptual shift away from
the flawed system design of the Industrial Revolution, not just
a damage management strategy.
Eco-effectiveness seeks to design industrial systems that emulate
the healthy abundance of nature. The central design principle
of eco-effectiveness is waste equals food.
When waste equals food, the "be less bad" imperatives
of efficiency fade. When a product returns to industry at the
end of its useful life and its materials are used to make equally
valuable new products, the minerals or plastics of which it
is made do not need to be minimized-because they will not become
waste in a landfill. Industry saves billions of dollars annually
by recovering valuable materials from used products. Similarly,
products designed to be made of natural, safely biodegradable
materials can be returned to the soil to feed ecosystems instead
of depleting them.

The first two phases of the Jamarat Bridge project in Mina have been completed and will be handed over to the Minister of Municipal and Rural Affairs tomorrow according to informed sources, the Arab News reported today.
The handover comes two weeks before the Hajj, which is expected to begin December 29. Hundreds of thousands of pilgrims from around the world have already arrived in Makkah for the annual pilgrimage.
The Kingdom undertook the $1.12 billion project as part of its efforts to avoid stampedes and crowding in the Jamarat area.
When it is fully complete, the new four-level bridge will accommodate more than three million pilgrims at a time. It will have 10 entrances and 12 exits distributed over the four levels plus the ground floor, which will be used by pilgrims coming from the east, who account for the majority of the crowd. The new bridge will also include two helipads for speedy evacuation in the event of an accident.
