Says a source, "Ekta naturally finds Additi beautiful but she wants her to look better. Hence, she told Additi to get her teeth straightened. Additi's teeth are uneven and crooked."
When contacted, Additi confirms that she has been given such a directive. "I was anyway planning to get this repair job done in the next few days. I am aware that a few of my teeth in the lower front are crooked. If the repair job is done, I will have a much better smile." Additi added that she would be visiting a dental surgeon for the same in the next few days.
Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil has replaced Kasautii Zindagi Kay on Star Plus from March 3. The show is set in a traditional Punjabi family. The story revolves around a promise made by two friends and how the consequences of this pact affect the lives of their children. It's certainly affected Additi, but grin and bear it, babes! It's only for the better says Balaji…

USS Enterprise, X-Wing Fighter Made Of Computer Parts
These are USS Enterprise and X-Wing fighter sculptures made out of old computer parts by by Etsy seller Shankalonian. You know, there's a term for making stuff like this out of older, more useless stuff, but I forget what it is. "It's called upcycling." It's on the tip of my tongue, I just can't think of it right now. "Upcycling, GW." It's like recycling, but different. "UPCYCLING." I guess it's just not going to come to me. "IT'S CALLED UPCYCLING YOU IDIOT MORON." Haha -- I'm making you go craaaaazzzy.
Hit the jump for another shot of the Enterprise and the X-Wing.
Thanks to Nick and scaldara, who don't make anything out of old computer parts but really crappy computers.

I have been sailing in the Caribbean full time for four years now. And scuba diving every chance I get! I have been fortunate to dive almost every island that you read about in the diving magazines. I thought I would share some of our insiders knowledge and report on our favorite spots.
If you are an avid scuba diver, I don't need to convince you the Caribbean is a great place to dive. If you have not become a certified diver, please consider giving it a try. The Caribbean is a terrific place to get your certification. Check out this great video of a beautiful Spotted Eagle Ray. You feel as if you are floating with him. And you feel the magic of the underwater world. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzlwRpV2IdU
Diving in the Caribbean is good year round. The water is almost always at least 80F, no matter how deep you go. A 3mm shorty is all that is needed for most of us. Topside, it is usually sunny and warm.
Many people want to travel during the winter to escape cold weather at home and the allure of the Caribbean is too hard to resist! However, if the Caribbean is going to get "bad" weather it is either during the winter months of December and January or, of course, during Hurricane Season.
My experience is that high winds and rough seas occur more often during December and January than any other time of year. They are called "The Christmas Winds" in the Eastern Caribbean because strong winds and whipped seas reliably show up in mid to late December. And then stay awhile. And that makes for poor visibility for diving.
Hurricane Season technically runs from June 1 to November 30. The majority of hurricanes hit in the hottest months of August, September and to a lesser extent October. Not that a hurricane can't hit at other times, it is just less common.
I find early spring, summer and into fall the best times of year to go diving in the Caribbean. The weather conditions usually match the brochure! The seas are calm and visibility is terrific.
Divers Alert Network (DAN) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the recreational divers' safety. They offer emergency medical assistance anywhere in the world and have saved many lives. Every diver should be a DAN member.
DAN also offers travel insurance, so if a hurricane decides to show up at your appointed island and time, you can get a refund or reschedule.
And since spring, summer and fall are considered either low season or shoulder season in the Caribbean, there are some terrific deals to be had out there. Unfortunately, tourism is still down in all islands. But that means you can negotiate some great deals.
Often the best deals are a package hotel and dive combination. On some islands a car is a necessity. Other islands have great public transportation and a car is an added expense you don't need.
I will be writing about some of my favorite islands for scuba diving and my top three are definitely Dominica in the Antilles Eastern Caribbean, Bonaire in the Dutch Antilles off the coast of Venezuela and our current home, Roatan, Honduras in Central America. We are going to Belize in a month or so, and might have to add that island to the favorites list!

A lot has changed in the four years since How to Train Your Dragon came out of nowhere and really gave Dreamworks their first film that could stand up to the mighty Pixar. What began is a single film has grown into a full-blown franchise with video games, toys, and an animated TV series, all of which elevated expectations for this weekend's How to Train Your Dragon 2.
Writer/director Dean DeBlois also had high expectations for the sequel, and he set out to make this second chapter of the planned trilogy larger in scope, more mature, and as exciting as the first. And that also meant progressing the friendship between Hiccup and his loyal pet dragon, Toothless, as well as Hiccup's relationship with his father, Chief Stoic. The result is a film that I think will almost certainly be amongst the best animated movies of the year.
Along with my Addicted to Film colleague Tim Gordon, I had a chance to sit down with DeBlois and talk about How to Train Your Dragon 2, the dragon design and introduction of new characters, and plans for the third movie in 2016. And yes, we did it all in viking helmets. You can watch that interview below, and check out my review of the film here.

In the Minhag Rheinus, we have piyutim which are added by ma'ariv and shacharit on yom tov, as well as on certain Shabbatot. While I am aware of the position of some of them (Yotzer, Ofan, Zulat, kerovot) I am unaware of the actual position certain of the others, namely the ones by Ma'ariv and the Ahavah (the only fromm schul in my area being a Chabad). Is there a chart anywhere which lists the positions of the remaining piyutim?

Frankfort, KY -- More than $1,810,167 has been approved in federal and state assistance to individuals, families and businesses incurring losses in the February Kentucky storms and flooding, disaster officials reported.
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has approved 24 low-interest loans for home and personal property. The loans total $975,200. All were in Lewis County.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has awarded 196 disaster housing grants for renters and homeowners totaling $479,789, according to Federal Coordinating Officer Scott Wells of FEMA.
Sixty-nine grants have been authorized through the state-administered Individual and Family Grant Program. The grants total $355,178. These grants are awarded to eligible applicants that the SBA determines cannot afford a disaster loan. Twenty-four new flood insurance policies have been purchased through the Individual and Family Grant Program.
The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) has received 25 claims.
W.R. Padgett, director of the Kentucky Division of Emergency Management, said 449 individuals and businesses have registered for disaster assistance. "We're very pleased that local, state and federal governments, and private agencies, have coordinated closely to deliver a large amount of help in a relatively short time, but we also know it hasn't come any too soon for the victims," Padgett said.
Flood victims who haven't called to register should do so as soon as possible, Padgett said. The toll-free registration number is 1-800-462-9029 (TTY 1-800-462-7585).
Individuals with questions about disaster aid or the status of their applications should call 1-800-525-0321.
Disaster housing assistance by county includes: Boyd, 17 checks totaling $14,832; Carter, 11 checks, $40,199; Fleming, 19 checks, $44,132; Greenup, 39 checks, $53,027; Lewis, 93 checks, $291,245; Mason, three checks, $5,207; Nicholas, four checks, $4,396; Robertson, five checks, $10,812; Rowan, four checks, $14,852.
Individual and Family Grants by county include: Boyd, three checks totaling $2,102; Carter, three checks, 13,621; Fleming, six checks, $17,121; Greenup, 18 checks, $75,912; Lewis, 33 checks, $241,941; Mason, two checks, $1,067; Robertson, two checks, $2,478.

If you follow have followed the auto industry for more than 15 or 20 minutes, then you know there are awards, prizes and honors for everything from the best tire rim to the best radio reception (okay, we're kidding about the last couple, but it seems that way, doesn't it?).
Industry flinches?
Well, as they said in the late Broadway show about the Roman Empire, "Something Interesting Happened on the Way to the Forum" and the truth of the matter is that something is the real world intruding on a world the auto industry thought it owned.
Here's what happened this past year that makes us wonder whether the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and Honda and its ritzy cousin the Accord line haven't been using the auto world as their view of the real world.
(Explanatory note: The author of this story spent six years working at a Honda dealership before retiring and has cannot report on some of the problems due to various relationships he still has with Honda and some dealerships. Plus, there are certain non-disclosure clauses that were signed that are still in effect. Suffice it to say; what is being noted here is the truth.)
In the 2013 model year, the real world caught up with IIHS and Honda and you have to wonder who is doing the counting at either institution. It also makes you wonder about awards in general.
Tightening award criteria
Over the last decade or so, the IIHS has been slowly tightening the criteria it uses to judge the cars it rates. The auto insurance safety rating and public affairs group has added many real world tests to the battery it already conducts. For example, IIHS has added front quarter accidents and the damage they cause both humans and cars, as well as the rear quarter.
The group has also upped its speed a bit in reporting on the accidents it follows and the list that it covers just keeps on growing.
New award
The last couple of years saw IIHS adding new safety categories to its lineup of safety awards and 2013 saw Honda taking a bundle of awards because the captive import (imported cars that are also built here most of the time with better results than the homeland) market that they built cars for made good cars. Or were they that good?
Somewhere along the line the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NH
TSA) reported that many rather late model Honda Civics and CR-Vs (same vehicle chassis, different body) and it ordered Honda to recall about several hundred thousand Fits and the other vehicles to have the particular parts checked.
(It seems that there's a pesky relay in the automatic window circuitry that tends to overheat and the wire seems to be a little undergauge – this is our reading of the situation, you will likely find other determinations – elsewhere that tends to melt and catch fire.
Yes, the window does stop working, so you can be sure your last sight won't the interior of your Honda filling with smoke as the window drops into its well, but it is annoying having your Honda being sprayed out by your local call fire department just as you might be making "your move" on your soon-to-be-ex-girlfriend or if she's forgiving, it's not your fault and she may end up your wife.)
Reported extensively
Honda, to its credit, jumped right on this problem and said they were going to voluntarily recall the affected vehicles when the replacement kits were ready and they would handle it. It's great PR.
Indeed, that was the theme of Jim Hall, an automotive analyst for the Detroit firm 2953, a firm that follows the auto industry. Hall said it's just great public relations when an automaker can get out in front of a problem and announce they will fix it. It shows they are being consciences. That they were also fulfilling the mandates of various federal auto safety acts seems to have been lost in the shuffle.
Why let the facts get in the way of a good story, so our heroes become the automakers, while the guardians of public safety the NHTSA (htp:/www.nhtsa.gov) become the nags – like your Momma when she reminded you that dirty socks belonged in the hamper).
Still, it's not all bad because the automaker can hid behind the safety agency when it takes repeated torpedo after torpedo as Toyota has done in the last five years (about 20 million vehicles of the Toyota and Lexus lines were recalled, www.toyota.com) by NHTSA.
Even Toyota's top echelon of leaders hid behind the NHTSA shield on the various vehicles that were recalled.
New standards
And, this brings us back around again to the IIHS and Honda affair. It seems that IIHS recently named Honda its "Top-Pick" for safety in its current design.
When you look a little more deeply at the award as Forbes has done, you begin to see a pattern here that many in would like you not to see.
As the automotive world's safety standards have been ratcheted up over the last few years so that cars become safer, it requires that organizations like IIHS modify their testing procedures (Consumer Reports, too) to reflect real world issues.
That's why the 2013 "Top Picks" had 130 models singled out. However, with the 2014 tightening of the IIHS standards the number dropped like 40 tons of scrap, to 30, many of them Hondas.
Gets interesting
Here's where it gets interesting. Even as IIHS was announcing its 2014 winners a check of the Internet, using Google, revealed that more than 91,000 Honda fits were being recalled for window issues, while 748,000 Pilots and Odyssey minivans were being recalled for issues with their airbags. It seems that they don't have enough rivets to ensure they (the airbags) work correctly.
Fortunately for Honda, they had enough lead-time to get out in front of these issues so they look like the guys with the white hats.
Just a few missing
While looking like the guys with the white hats, Honda's headdress began to take on a shade of gray when it was discovered there were 3.8 million Hondas recalled on 2013 for safety and other issues and 1.7 million upscale Accords or 5.5 million.
Then, of course, there's NHTSA's order telling Honda to take back 980,000 2002 to 2005 vehicles due to the window malfunction. It looks like they forgot that one, right?
The final analysis is this: the auto industry is getting better at responding to safety-related issues, there's not doubt of it. They are also looking at the issues that sell, safety and quality and are answering any issues that have to be answered as quickly as possible.
Makes sense really
In the long run, the cars that answer the safety or quality calls are the ones that buyers perceive as having extra value and they go right to them. As Hall points out, answering the safety issues prevents future lawsuits. Hall told Popular Mechanics, in a piece on recalls says carmakers are just being extra cautious.
"…The motivation is to avoid future litigation mostly. The worst cost is if you're perceived as covering something up," Hall says. "Fixing a problem—especially if you already have a good reputation—is just perceived as doing things right."
IIHS making test more real
This also answers some critics of the IIHS who have long complained that it's testing are too mild on the car industry. Now, their testing is as tough, if not tougher, than Consumer Reports.

Changing contract terms
Lenders who change their mortgage contract terms need to ensure the alterations are fair for consumers. Marianne Jarvis and Jasper Buxton from Moore Blatch explain
In March the Financial Services Authority exercised its jurisdiction under the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999 (the regulations) in ruling the contract terms on mortgages provided by Cheshire Mortgage Corporation in 2004 and 2006 to be unfair, and forced the provider to give clearer written terms for the reasoning behind any interest rate changes.
The FSA recently ordered the National House-Building Council to amend the terms of one of its insurance policies, which it also considered to be unfair because there was insufficient certainty as to when a claim could be made.
More recently, the FSA announced that its Retail Conduct Risk Outlook 2012 would open a thematic review into interest-only mortgage contracts that allow firms to switch consumers from an interest-only to a repayment mortgage.
It believes some 'switching terms' in standard consumer contracts could pose a risk of being considered unfair under the regulations, if the terms give the firm too much discretion to determine when the switching would apply.
The FSA warned that terms which failed to clearly set out when a lender may switch a consumer to a repayment mortgage, or failed to define key phrases in the contract that specify when this right arises, were likely to be unfair.
Consequently, many lenders are advised to review their contracts for suitability and fairness to ensure that consumers are fully protected.
Cheshire's terms
The Cheshire Mortgages case illustrates where the terms used might not be considered as unreasonable by many organisations:
Original Terms, 2004: We can vary the interest rate at any time. You will be notified of any change in accordance with the mortgage conditions. The notification will include details of the resulting increase or decrease in your monthly payments.
2006: Where the interest rate on your mortgage is variable (at any time during your loan period) we can vary the interest rate at any time. You will be notified of any change in accordance with the mortgage conditions. The notification will include details of the resulting increase or decrease in your monthly payment.
The FSA's view was that this wording, allowing the issuer to "vary the interest rate at any time" was advantageous to the issuer and gave Cheshire "unrestricted power to vary interest rates without the firm specifying valid reasons for making such variations in the contract."
Cheshire Mortgages commented that it has only varied the interest rate for the reason given in the new term (below) and it would therefore appear that there has been no actual customer detriment. Nevertheless, the FSA deemed it necessary to change the terms to prevent any consumer misunderstanding.
New Terms agreed: Where the interest rate on your mortgage is variable, we may vary the interest rate at any time. However, we will only vary the interest rate to respond proportionately to changes in our funding costs. You will be given at least 14 days' notice in writing of any change in the interest rate. The notification will include details of what the interest rate is varied to and the resulting increase or decrease in your monthly payments.
Unfair terms – what happens?
The FSA has the jurisdiction to find terms to be unfair, and can seek an undertaking to amend the term, or apply to the court for an injunction against the lender, leading to considerable costs and damage to the lender's reputation.
Even where the FSA is not involved, there are risks to lenders in their terms being found to be unfair, as it may lead to the court finding that such terms are unenforceable. This may lead to unexpected costs, such as those which a lender may have expected to pass on to the consumer under a specific term upon which they can no longer rely, and in terms of the costs of having to redraft and reissue the terms.
Unfair terms – how to avoid
An example of the FSA's approach was seen in the judgement of the House of Lords in the case Director General of Fair Trading v First National Bank Plc (2001), with Lord Bingham saying that the requirement of good faith is one of "fair and open dealings" and that openness requires terms to be expressed "fully, clearly and legibly, containing no concealed pitfalls or traps."
This judgment means that all interest rates' changes must be clearly explained with a clear set of "reasons why" laid out in the terms of all contracts.
In that case, a term which permitted the lender to charge interest before and after any judgment, until payment in full, was held to be fair. However, Evans v Cherry Tree Finance Ltd (2007) illustrates where a clause in a finance document was held to be unfair.
A provision in a mortgage for calculating a rebate on early repayment meant that the settlement date, deferred for six months, was held to breach the regulations because it led to paying a sum that was too high.
Lenders should ensure their terms are clear and easy for a consumer to understand in plain and intelligible language and avoid the use of legal jargon. Terms should not cause a significant imbalance between the parties.
Lenders should assess contracts for fairness and ensure that their contract terms comply with relevant legislation and good practice guidance, particularly in an evolving landscape, and staff should be fully trained in the practical impact of contract terms on the consumer.
Lenders will continue to see challenges to terms and conditions from consumers and they will need to review their terms carefully.

In response to the Supreme Court's decision in the Hobby Lobby case, Democrats in Congress put forth legislation that would require most employers to provide contraception regardless of religious objections, which Mat Staver said is the result of liberals rejecting God and having been given over to a "reprobate mind."
Claiming that liberals are throwing "an absolutely hissy conniption fit" about the Hobby Lobby ruling because they have now lost a small amount of control over Christians, Staver's ho-host Matt Barber was mystified as to why Democrats are now "trying to force others" to participate in murder by requiring business to cover certain type of contraception that some believe cause abortions.
But Staver knew exactly why this is happening, citing the Book of Romans which "talks about people who ultimately give up the idea of God as the creator and they worship the created things rather than the Creator and God gives them over to a reprobate mind."
"You can't understand a reprobate mind," Staver said, "so you can't get logic out of them ... you can't reason with them."
Eventually those who have been given over to the reprobate mind embrace, celebrate, and promote evil and "that is what we're seeing today" and Christians "can't begin to understand that logic":

Black Swan Watch: Mexico's Super Volcano Could Be the Next Market Catalyst
Duncan Parker
Mexican authorities have raised the alert level for its massive "Popo" volcano. Investors ought to pay attention.
Editor's note: The date listed for the eruption of Mount St. Helens has been corrected in this article; it occurred on May 18, 1980.
Mexico's Popocatépetl could be the unseen force capable of toppling world markets.
One of the world's largest volcanoes, reaching over three miles high at 17,887 feet, "Popo" is only overshadowed by its dormant (but not extinct) neighbor volcano Pico de Orizaba, which is the third highest peak in North America at 18,491 feet. The majesty of these two geological wonders cradle Mexico City and its neighboring boroughs, namely Puebla, a major agricultural center. A 2012 census determined that the area was home to more than 19 million people, but estimates as high as 22 million have also been cited. The official number makes this area the 10th most heavily populated region in the world; the higher estimate would qualify it as the fifth most populated region, behind Tokyo, Jakarta, Seoul, and Delhi respectively.
Earlier this week, Mexico's National Disaster Prevention Center raised the alert level for Popocatépetl to "Yellow Phase III," which is the fifth greatest of seven levels; the highest alert is, logically, "Red Phase II." Joking aside,
rising seismic activity
, plumes of smoke and steam, and the reported melting of the glacial peak due to rising ground temperatures suggest Popo is ready to go loco.
Mexican authorities are no strangers to obeying the whims of their sleeping giants even though the last major eruption occurred an estimated 1,100 years ago. E
vacuations are well rehearsed, and emergency preparation teams stand ready to assist residents away from imminent danger. Relatively little is known regarding what to expect from Popo in the event of an eruption. Those who remember
the eruption of Mount St. Hele
may also note the eerie timing of these Popo alarms: Saturday, May 18, is the 33rd anniversary of its eruption. However magnificent this event was, it stands to be a proverbial flea on an elephant's back compared to Popo's fury should its status worsen.
Of course, preventing loss of life is the first and foremost concern, but in the aftermath of such an event (which in theory could last concurrently for many years) Mexico's vitally important contribution to all of North America's commodity markets could endure serious, permanent damage. Agricultural trade between the US and Mexico constitutes over $20 billion annually, accounting for 18% of Mexico's GDP and providing employment to around 5% of the labor force. Even a minor prolonged event causing preemptive evacuations could force laborers far from fields that are now sowing. May and June are critical months for farmers in southern Mexico in terms of corn, barley, and rice, among other commodities grown in the areas adjacent to Popo, which is sometimes called Mexico's breadbasket. To its east, the world's second largest shale oil deposit was recently discovered. Meanwhile, the mountainous terrain in the area is just beginning to gain recognition as a potential literal goldmine.
What would all this mean for the
(INDEXDJX:.DJI) and
(INDEXSP:.INX)? The only certainty is a rise in the gauge known as the fear indicator, the
(INDEXCBOE:VIX). Stocks with agricultural exposure such as
(NYSE:DD), and
Dow Chemical
(NYSE:DOW) are first in line of this firefight with the entire sector (NYSEARCA:DBA) possibly honing the asterisk -- a.k.a. halts -- from selling pressure. Gold (NYSEARCA:GLD) and especially silver (NYSEARCA:SLV) are likely to see strong demand as Mexico -- along with the US Treasuries and the dollar -- is one of the world's largest producers and safe havens during stressful times. It's fairly easy to pick places to short in this doomsday scenario. Systemic risk is still undeniably an undercurrent of world markets and as the adage goes, "If you can't sell what you want, sell what you can."
Last week, I shared "Nowhere to Go But Up" with
Buzz & Banter
subscribers, noting that nature has a way of tempering our collective mania in times of irrational exuberance. There's no question that a black swan of this magnitude would be horrific. Markets have thus far ignored the significance of a giant smoking mountain shooting fire from its peak. That, my friends, is what we call a "top" -- or it is, at least, a piece of the puzzle.

Former University of Colorado fullback Lawrence Vickers is in his first season with the Dallas Cowboys and his seventh in the NFL. Dallas has become the third team in which he has played for since he entered the league in 2006; being drafted in the sixth round by the Cleveland Browns.
After five successful years in Cleveland, Vickers signed with Houston where he started every game last season at fullback in his first and only season in the city he grew up in.
Vickers has made a name for himself as being one of the toughest players in the National Football League; a hard-nosed fullback always looking for a collision with a linebacker, or any player in his way for that matter.
"Of course, I can get in front of (a defender) and just block them, but I want to dominate all the time, whoever is in front of me," Vickers said. "I want to do the dirty work, I want to do the job that most people can't do, and most people can't play the fullback position, it's hard."
No one can deny Vickers' ability to obstruct any defender on a crash course path towards the ball carrier. While in Cleveland, Vickers opened up holes for Jamal Lewis to rush for back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons. Then in Houston, he paved the way for another All-Pro running back in Arian Foster, who rushed for 1,509 yards in 2011.
Now, Vickers is not only continuing his prideful role as a fullback, but he is also making his way onto the stat line as a receiver and rusher for the Cowboys.
Last Sunday, Dallas went on the road to face Philadelphia in a divisional battle in which the Cowboys won 38-23. Typically the lead blocker in the ground game, Vickers served an even more valuable role in the contest with the Eagles as he had two receptions and two carries, accounting for 31 all-purpose yards in the victory.
"Anything they need from me," said Vickers to DallasCowboys.com earlier this season. "I'm just a whatever-you-need type of guy, a pure fullback, a versatile back, a motivator, whatever. I'm all about the team. Team is first with me."
Former Colorado head coach Gary Barnett first dubbed the position Vickers held as the 'V-back' with the 'V' referencing his immense versatility as an offensive player. Throughout his college days in Boulder, Vickers often lined up as the lone running back while also seeing several passes thrown his way, in addition to his blocking duties.
Barnett understood how much talent and athletic ability the 6-foot-2, 230-pound kid from Houston possessed. In his high school career at Forrest Brook, Vickers rushed for over 4,000 yards and 70 touchdowns, not to mention he averaged a double-double his senior year in basketball.
While Vickers is not quite putting up those numbers anymore, he has begun to see the ball in his hands more often this season. He has rushed the ball three times and has caught six passes for the Cowboys, gaining 57 total yards thus far.
It turns out that the Cowboys have been waiting for Vickers' services for a while now. Before the former Buffalo signed with Houston last season, the Cowboys made a push for him; however, the opportunity to play in his hometown where his parents still lived at the time was too tempting to pass up.
"We followed him last season and when he became available this season, we kind of made it a priority to get him," said Cowboys running backs coach Skip Peete. "He's a physical, lead blocking fullback that I think if you want to be a power running team, you need to have a guy like that."
Now that Dallas has that guy, they are hoping to keep him for a while and keep winning games.
Notable: Justin Bannan recorded two tackles and a pass deflection in Denver's 36-14 victory at Carolina on Sunday; the Broncos are now 6-3 on the season... Jalil Brown recorded a tackle on Monday Night Football, however Kansas City fell in overtime to the Pittsburgh Steelers and former teammate Toney Clemons, who is on the Steelers' practice squad... Three of the four division leaders in the AFC Conference feature former Colorado football players in Baltimore with Jimmy Smith, New England with Nate Solder, and Denver with Bannan.

Starting on April 28, Walt Disney World is making an enhancement to the MyMagic+ FastPass+ program that park fans have been clamoring for: after you use your initial three FastPasses, you'll be able to book another one at the in-park kiosks. That means you can take advantage of the shortened FastPass waits as many times as you wish (subject, of course, to availability).
Better yet, the additional FastPasses aren't limited to just one park. Many guests like park hopping throughout the day, and they can make their additional selections at any of the four parks.
The change was announced in the Disney Parks Blog, which says it will take effect on Monday. That means it will be in place for the busy summer season. In the blog, Chairman Tom Staggs said that this is just one of many MyMagic+ enhancements planned for the future. Although he didn't elaborate, he hinted that more announcements will be coming soon.

The Hershey Story makes visiting easy. An off-street free parking garage allows for easy access to the museum without worrying about meters or finding street parking. A free shuttle from the museum to Hershey's Chocolate World opens up additional fun for the family. The museum offers an AAA discount of 10% off your ticket price, which includes the museum and Chocolate Lab. There is also a discount if you purchase museum and Chocolate Lab tickets together.

Dallas, TEXAS - On a chilly and clear New Year's morning over 1,700 runners and walkers completed the second annual Commitment Day 5k in Dallas.
The Dallas run was sponsored Life Time Fitness as part of a nationwide, 35 city run/walk event attracting tens of thousands participants. According to Life Time's Chief Executive Officer, Bahram Akradi, "Commitment Day is a broad social movement uniting individuals in 5K Walk/Run events across the nation each January 1 to declare a commitment to healthy eating, exercise, family, respect and giving back."
Expert direction
The race was directed by Staci Brode and Ahmed Zaher, the co-owners of PlayTri Performance Centers, whose extensive experience in race productions made for a fun and safe event. Brode said in a press release, "The January 1 fun walk/run 5K helps people start the year on the right foot—literally. It's about taking a stand against poor health and inadequate nutrition and making a commitment to your own personal health while motivating and supporting those around you to do the same."
This year's race started and finished at Dallas' Reverchon Park. The course started eastbound on Turtle Creek Blvd. for the first mile and a quarter until runners turned right onto Lemmon Avenue where they climbed steadily uphill for a half mile to Carlisle Street. The road turned steeply downhill and turned right onto Bowen where it eventually rejoined Turtle Creek Blvd., for a flat and fast half mile back to Reverchon Park.
A tradition in the making
Many of the participants ran the event for the second year-in-a-row saying they planned on making the January 1 run an annual tradition. Meredith Wilson, 25, of Frisco, Texas, who ran the race for the second year, said, "Today was a redemption run -- I was able to stay healthy [this year], and ran the whole three miles, improving on last year's finish. Setting a personal record of 25:27 was icing on the cake. I raced under the bib number one, a true honor! And with friends alongside me, I got a good start of my commitment to face the future confidently, with hope."

Inconsistency begets insanity. If every developer follows the agreed coding conventions, life feels more wonderful. When a string literal can be enclosed in single or double quotes (ECMAScript 5 specification section 7.8.4), often it helps to stick with one type of quotes. For example, jQuery code style mandates the use of double-quotes. Personally I prefer… Read more »

Rexx: one-based indexing and built-in tracing
A software engineer's life is not complete without implementing a programming language. While I did create a lightweight BASIC interpreter targeting embedded systems eighteen years ago, I'm still longing to design and work on my own style of programming language. Looking around various languages which have the goals of being powerful and yet easy to… Read more »
Up close and personal
Work-life balance always fascinates me. After all, we all have personal and work email addresses for a good reason. Sometimes it helps to avoid conflicts of interests, often it is useful to draw the demarcation line between the career and personal life.

JavaScript branching and code shuffling
Modern CPU is equipped with a branch predictor to help with optimizing program execution. For example, a loop typically exits only once and the flow is kept inside the loop for a while (it's called a loop for a reason).

The Houston Dynamo traveled to Arizona this past week for some preseason exhibition games against the Portland Timbers and the San Jose Earthquakes.
Houston opened with a loss on Wednesday afternoon dropping a 2-0 decision to Portland. Two late goals thwarted an otherwise sound outing by the men in orange.
On Saturday, the team rebounded for a 3-1 win over the Earthquakes. After surrendering an early goal to former Dynamo forward Chris Wondolowski in the 21st minute of play, the team settled down holding San Jose scoreless the rest of the way.
Meanwhile some big names were coming through in the most opportune moments. Omar Cummings scored his second goal of the preseasonin the 66th minute after Servando Carrasco, a midfielder from whom the Dynamo are expecting big things made a dramatic slide tackle to take away a ball deep inside the Dynamo end. The play began a series which led to team captain Brad Davis in his first action of the preseason threading a pass to Cummings who move left anf then ripped a shot that deflected of a San Jose defender and inside the near post.
Ten minutes later, the team scored again. The goal courtesy of trialist Sito Seane came on a nifty one touch pass from MLS SuperDraft pick Mark Sherrod. The 74th minute goal was Seane's second of the preseason.
Midfielder Tony Cascio scored his second goal of the preseason in the 84th minute following a long over the top pass from Euan Holden.
The three goal second half outburst is what head coach Dominic Kinnear is expecting from his team this season when he spoke about adding on goals and having a killer instinct at the opening of preseason.
""We didn't have too many runaway wins last year," Kinnear said at the season's opening press conference. "Those are fun, for obvious reasons you like those. It builds confidence and shows you're scoring goals in different areas of the game."
Much as the Dynamo did on Saturday, he wants to see his team put the opposition away when given the chance.
Houston returns home Monday following a closed scrimmage on Sunday in Tucson. The team has a scrimmage scheduled for 7:00p.m. Wednesday February 12, 2014, against Houston Baptist University at Sorrels Field followed by a 1:00p.m. match against Southern Methodist University on Saturday February 15th at Houston Sports Park.

A 75-year-old man by the name of Ron Sveden was brought into the ER one day after an episode of coughing and fatigue. Sveden had been experiencing symptoms of emphysema over the past few months and when he began coughing more than usual his wife called 911 to have him brought to the hospital. X-rays were taken and doctors discovered a collapsed lung with an odd, unidentifiable spot on the x-ray.
Doctors performed numerous other tests to try and determine the odd area on the x-ray. Several weeks went by when finally doctors found that a pea plant had been growing inside the patient's left lung. Doctors stated that the pea had traveled down "the wrong way" and he lung's moisture and warmth allowed for it to sprout and grow.
The patient had the pea removed and is now at home recovering nicely. Sveden's wife stated: "God has such a sense of humor. It could have been just nothing, but it had to be a pea, and it had to be sprouting."

Friends seek help through gofundme.com for Sequim artist battling colon cancer

Lindsay Treiber Furber, Grace McHugh and Erin Huff have been working to raise enough money to smooth the life of their friend, Mary Beth Beuke, as she battles colon cancer.
In late March, doctors found two cancer tumors in Beuke's colon; one is at stage 3, and the other is an inoperable stage 4, Huff said.
The cancer is aggressive and involves other key organs, including her bladder, pelvis and other body parts.
During treatment, Beuke has not been able to work, and bills are mounting.
Fundraising website
Huff, Furber and McHugh have set up a www.gofundme.com Web page at www.tinyurl.com/PDN-Beuke to raise the $12,000 Beuke needs for day-to-day expenses.
Beuke is being treated at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance during the week, returning to her Sequim home on the weekends.
Treatment includes six to eight weeks of daily radiation and chemotherapy to shrink the tumors, perhaps followed by surgery and an eight-week recovery period.
"We want to make it as easy as possible on her," Huff said.
Beuke founded West Coast Sea Glass in 1998.
She is president of the North American Sea Glass Association, an internationally noted sea glass artist and author of The Ultimate Guide to Sea Glass.
She is a retired youth minister, currently volunteers as the lead of women's ministries at Sequim Community Church and is active in her children's activities.
Bueke has three children, two whom are 12 years old and one 16.
Beuke said she has been stunned by the outpouring of support she has received from her friends during her illness.
"I have a pretty good army of supporters," she said.
Coming from near, far
Friends have traveled from as far as Marysville to shuttle her from the hospital, shopping and to home, she said.
During her illness, Beuke has had to drop out of her usual activities.
She had to cancel a book-signing trip to Pennsylvania and hasn't been able to get to her silver studio to create her glass jewelry.
"It's been kind of a drag, not being able to do what I want," Beuke said.
Beuke cannot work, and there are still bills to be paid — rent, utilities, and car payments, Huff said.
"We want her to be blessed with the friendship and generosity of the people who love her," she said.
As of 5 p.m. Wednesday, the fundraiser website had raised $8,715 to help Beuke with her bills.
For those who don't have access to the Internet or who prefer to donate without the website's 5 percent cut from the donation, checks can be sent to Huff at 446 Livengood Lane, Sequim, WA 98382.

High finance bookies betting both sides of municipal bonds
Now those who crucified taxpayers on a housing cross are casting lots upon the vesture of states' self-inflicted wounds.
Yes, beleaguered taxpayers, the financial gambling that enriched a few by possibly causing - certainly amplifying - world economic collapse is growing like cancer in public debt markets.
Investors are trading derivatives that bet states, municipalities and public authorities will default on bond issues, historically the closest to sure things on which to wager. Sure, the returns are low, but risk is zero because bondholders ultimately have power through government to imprison citizens who refuse to pay. Not even banks get to do that.
But is the risk zero?
Odds for these side bets on bond bets are getting worse as investors wake up to the hard fact that governments are in deep trouble, have been cloaking it for a decade and bondholders are in line behind pension funds and who knows what else for money squeezed out of taxpayers.
And there is growing dim remembrance that technically taxpayers have power to change the game and say no.
Of course those booking the bond bets and the side bets against the bonds created yet another casino for bets derived from those, like the collateralized debt swaps that turned a limited subprime home mortgage problem measured in billions of dollars into a worldwide catastrophe measured in trillions.
At least one state treasurer is miffed about it. California's Bill Lockyer recently asked investment banks making hundreds of millions selling state bonds why at the same time they touted $27.5 billion in bets those bonds would default.
According to a press release, Lockyer "voiced concern about banks selling the State's bonds on one hand, and on the other hand betting against, or facilitating bets against, those bonds." Good question.
Another is what impact that has on borrowing costs eventually picked up, as are all, by taxpayers. Yet another is the big question: What if, as in housing, the unthinkable happens and bookies can't cover side bets?
The odds, while long, are getting worse. According to Markit Financial Information Services, as quoted in the Wall Street Journal, high finance bookies are giving 54 to 1 that California won't pay off on the very bond issue bets the bookies are pushing. Average odds are 77 to 1.
That means it costs state taxpayers 1.85 percent more to borrow money, or $18,500 a year for every $1 million in bonds on top of whatever interest they have to pay to attract increasingly skittish investors.
And that doesn't even include the ultimate potential risk and cost of unregulated trading in the derivatives based on the side bets.
It sure can add up. As we learned the hard way with mortgages, it can compound.
The bookies make money on both sides of the bets, make more trading the bets, and then can just walk away from the table when the game caves in, leaving guess who to eat the losses? Taxpayers.
What financiers really are betting on is the tattered garment of visible debt state and local governments increasingly must use to cover the horrible hidden wounds that leave them on the edge of bankruptcy despite taking $25 billion more from citizens in 2009 than in 2006.
On top of visible debt, states and municipalities owe trillions in false retirement promises, deferred capital projects, unfunded program commitments, unpaid "self-insurance" premiums, Medicaid obligations, IOUs and a myriad accounting tricks used to hide true deficits.
Now the day of reckoning is here, and nobody knows exactly where bondholders stand.
Financial Times reports discussion of default -- as in Harrisburg, Pa., and Detroit -- could disrupt the $2.8 trillion municipal bond market.
According to Income Securities Investor, more than 200 municipal, corporate and international bond issues totaling $20 to $50 billion default in a "typical" year. "In addition, there are 300-400 defaults and bankruptcies still unsettled."
What happens if we have a few years that are not typical? Just crucify taxpayers again.

Stronger than the grade usually used for vehicle components and lighter than aluminum, these two new types of stainless steels produce more energy-efficient work trucks.
Crompion International, a specialty stainless solutions provider for the sweeper industry, has unveiled next generation, low-cost materials well-suited to stand up to challenging corrosive and abrasive environments - Cromgard C12 and Cromgard C20-1.
Proving superior performance for street and truck-mounted vacuum sweepers, Cromgard C12 and Cromgard C20-1 provide corrosion and abrasion resistance, strength, durability and low maintenance, as well as good weldability and formability, making them capable of fabrication by conventional techniques.
Both materials have been used successfully by established sweeper companies and the variance of applications in cab and subassembly construction, hoppers and fenders highlight the durability of the material when installed.
Due to their increased strength over conventional materials, Cromgard C12 and Cromgard C20-1 allow for specification of a thinner gauge, creating lighter vehicles and lower fuel costs.
As cost-stable stainless steels, they are not subject to erratic price fluctuations and are considered a public works budget saver.

Kevin McCrary, 64, was featured on the show "Hoarders." Asked if he thinks the title is deserved, he told CBS 2′s Mark Morgan "I consider myself a collector/hoarder."
A Manhattan apartment can be cramped, even when it's empty, so it's no surprise McCrary's East 64th Street digs, where he's live for 20 years, ran out of room.
1010 WINS' Juliet Papa reports
McCrary said for at least a decade, he has been collecting items, then moving them from his 4th floor apartment to a van parked on East 65th Street. He then donated or sold some belongings to others, or put them in storage elsewhere.
The van, however, has become a bit of an attraction.
"I feel like every night or every day I walk my dog the garbage gets bigger and bigger on the truck," one neighbor said.
"It's an insult to the people who live in the neighborhood to act in a thoughtless manner like that," said neighbor Linda Pedro.
The van is piled with suitcases, a shopping cart, chair, and lamp "

Vino Nobile di Montepulciano has a rich history; some have found indications that the Etruscans drank wine in the region as early as 789 A.D. The first official documentation for Vino Nobile di Montepulciano dates back to 1,350! This wine gained its name from the noblemen and poets who lovingly drank it.
The Vino Nobile di Montepulciano wines and the town of Montepulciano are not to be confused with Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, which is grown in Abruzzi near the Adriatic Sea.
If you plan to visit here are some useful tips:
Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Wines
Vino Nobile is a Sangiovese-based blend, made primarily from a clone of prugnolo (which means little prune). Vino Nobile di Montepulciano was given DOCG status in 1980. The wines vary from thin and tart to spicy and bold. Maroon in color, a well-made Vino Nobile is chock full of dark cherry, ripe, rich plum flavors with great tannins and acidity. While the wines are always aged in oak, winemakers use large neutral barrels for maturation, carefully avoiding over-oaked flavors. When done well, these wines are meant to be laid down/cellared for several years. Our tasting panel tasted several dozen wines, but became especially fond of 2007 Vino Nobiles.
• Rosso di Montepulciano is produced from grapes grown in young vineyards. It is a modern, fresh and easy-to-drink wine. Drink also by the glass.
Vino Nobile is made from older vineyards
-Types available: Regular or vintage
"Selection" some producers produce additional Vino Nobile from a single vineyard or only with a selection of the best grapes or simply a different style (label) from their regular wine. These wines must be aged for a minimum of two years, one year in oak barrels.
"Riserva" wines are more concentrated with more body. Riservas are aged for a minimum of three years before released with a minimum of twelve months in oak barrels. This results in a higher bottle price. Locals enjoy these wines for special occasions.
Top Vino Nobile Wines By VinoTasting Panel:
Salcheto Vino Nobile di Montepulciano "Salco" 2006, (4.5 out of 5 stars!) $80
Best Wine!
Dark Ruby to a moderate rim. Aged for 24 months in oak. Medium plus intensity on the nose; this shows the earthy, vinous side of Sangiovese, with tobacco leaf,rhubarb, and tart, dried red fruit.
A distinct sweet note on the finish gives it balance and added richness. Drinking very well right now. Sophisticated…and lively!
Montemercurio Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2007 D.O.C.G. Damo, (4.5 out of 5 stars!) $26, Best Buy!
Medium ruby, consistent to a moderate water band. Made from grapes that are sourced from a 50-year-old vineyard (one of region's oldest). Roasted cherry, hint of volatility on the nose, certainly an earthy style of wine in all respects. Dried cranberry, spice, and rosemary on the palate. Medium to full bodied, medium plus finish.
Dinning in Montepulciano
Montepulciano chefs serve up some amazing Tuscan cuisine. Customers can't seem to have enough of the local pici (thick, hand-rolled pasta traditionally made only with flour and water), topped with ragu. But there are lots of other options including meats, poultry and fish. One thing is for sure – you will find plenty of local wines to pair with your meal!
Where to Eat:
Le Logge del Vignola Restaurant ****1/2
A wonderful, friendly, wine-centric restaurant with a selection of more than 500 wines! The chef focuses on using as many local ingredients as available. Try their
3-course tasting menu (€49). Wine pairings are available at extra cost. It includes
a chicken liver appetizer and Tuscan "Carnaroli Risotto" with Provola cheese and beetroot. The local Loin of Lamb with a crust of mint and agave syrup on a bed of grilled zucchini was delightful! The à la carte menu has meat and seafood items.
But in Montepulciano you should not skip a chance to enjoy traditional pici, handmade with duck (Nana) ragout and Pecorino sheep cheese Gran Riserva
(€ 9,50). Pair that with one of their Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riservas. Yum!

Enoteca – a Locanda di San Francesco ***
This Wine Bar and Bistro is the place for those looking to expand their knowledge of local wines as well as fine wines from all over Italy and France. The location is one of the best in Montepulciano, overlooking Piazza San Francesco through two magnificent wooden doors and a large roof terrace, which allows you to enjoy sunny Tuscan mornings and unforgettable sunsets over the Val d'Orcia.
You can enjoy your vino with local cheese, salumi and simple menu items. This place is much more about the wine and the view than the food.
Piazza San Francesco, 5, 53045 Montepulciano
Tel. 39 0578 758725
Ristorante La Corte Medicea ****
Located in an old barn, this winery, gift shop and restaurant is a wine lover's dream come true. The Ercolani family has been making their wine since 1988, and runs the business with a passion reflected in their food and wines.
If the weather cooperates, dine on the patio and take in the view! The indoor restaurant overlooks the active wine cellars and massive oak barrels filled with
Vino Nobile wines.
The menu is old-world Tuscan, with meats, pecorino, pastas, venison, polenta, truffles and Florentine steak as front-runners. We tried the homemade pici with choice of ragu (Pork, Beef, Rabbit, Venison and Wild Boar). We thought the options were ingenious! I fell for the Wild Boar – Pici o Pinci al Ragu di Maiale.
Molto delizioso!
Make sure to visit the wine shop after you finish your meal!

Montepulciano's Museo Civico ***** A must stop!
Located in the center of town on Via Ricci since the 1950s, this museum should not be judged by its entrance. It is a series of adjoined buildings made into one multi-level, modern building. The exhibits include a wonderful collection of Etruscan items, religious works and terra cotta. The most intriguing item on display is a verified true Caravaggio painting titled "A portrait of a gentlemen" that is displayed on the 4th floor. This painting was part of a priest's collection and thought to be a portrait of Pope Borghese.

Montepulciano's American Culinary Partnership
Montepulciano's Antica Fortezza plays an ever more central role in initiatives and interests connected to the world of the Vino Nobile. The historic fortress overlooks the city from where you can admire the views of the Valdichiana and the Val d'Orcia, and up to Lake Trasimeno. It was vital in helping protect the city centuries ago.
A unique partnership has been formed with Kennesaw State University, located in Kennesaw, GA, where they have agreed to invest in the restoration of the Fortezza and create a new kitchen-classroom where students may study both Vino Nobile and Montepulciano cuisine. When completed the building will also be the new headquarters for the Consorzio del Vino Nobile.
