Xiangsheng (Comic Dialogue) is one of the most
popular and influential types of quyi.
It can be said that nobody in China does not know or like it. It is humorous and
highly satirical by nature. Though similar performances had been popular for
centuries, it was only in the reign (1851-1861) of Emperor Xianfeng of the Qing
Dynasty that xiangsheng became established as an independent art form.
The first xiangsheng artists were Zhang Sanlu and Zhu Shaowen, the latter's
stage name being Qiong Bupa.
Qiong used to perform in the entertainment quarter of Beijing
known as Tianqiao. He always began with a ragged verse that started and ended
with the same word (something like a palindrome phrase). Then he imitated the
street hawkers' peculiar cries and sang some ancient songs. As the audience
grew, he started his proper xiangsheng item. His stage name originated from a
poem inscribed on a pair of bamboo clappers (a kind of percussion instrument)
that he had used. The words on the clapper were, "Eating by begging from many
houses and sleeping in ancient temples.
Never do anything against the law, and don't be afraid of seeing the emperor."
Zhu's four apprentices all had similar-styled stage names.
Zhu and his two contemporaries, A Yantao and Shen Chunhe, formed the three
earliest big categories of xiangsheng artists who passed on their skills to
their disciples. Now, after over a century's development, xiangsheng art has
ushered in its eighth generation of artists.
Since the late Qing Dynasty and the early years of the ROC, xiangsheng art
has made great advances in content and skills, and representative artists have
emerged in different periods.
For instance, in the late Qing period a group of artists whose names all
contained the character "de" arose, including Yu Delong, Jiao Dehai, Zhou
Deshan, and so on. People called them the Eight "Des" of Xiangsheng.
There were Li Dexi with the stage name of Wan Renmi and Zhang Shouchang (and
his style of art) during the ROC period. After the founding of the PRC, talented
artists Hou
Baolin, Ma
Sanli, Ma
Ji who was Hou's student, and Ma Ji's student Jiang
Kun all displayed highly distinctive skills and have become very famous
There are three forms of xiangsheng.
The earliest form was performed by one person, and was called Dankou
xiangsheng. Its contents were mostly jokes and humorous stories.
Later, Duikou xiangsheng or "cross talk," performed by two people, appeared.
One man was called Duogen, and the other, Penggen. When A is the primary talker
while B chimes in, this is called yitouchen (heavy-at-one-end), and the subject
of argument between them is called zimugen. Recitals and narration are called
guankouhuo, and imitations of opera songs and words are called huhuo.
The third form of xiangsheng performed by three or more people is called
Qunkou xiangsheng. It calls for one artist to say funny things, while others
chime in and yet another makes them stray from the subject. Of the three forms,
cross talk is the most popular and widespread.

If you are familiar with the Infiniti FX37, or even the FX35, then you already know just about everything you need to know about the 2014 Infiniti QX70 3.7. That's because little has changed but the name.
I'm not quite sure I understand the reason for the new moniker, but the powers that be at the luxury division of theJapanese manufacturer apparently believe they will sell more vehicles if alphanumeric model designations all begin with the letter "Q."
So, we are pretty much talking about the same off-beat, sport-oriented utility vehicle that has been with us for a decade.. And, not much will change or 2015, either. The six-cylinder QX70 (the 3.7 is dropped) remains the same, with standard rear-wheel drive and optional all-wheel drive.The V-8 engine option is no longer available and there is a new optional sport package, and that's about it.
Anyway, the vehicle began life in 2003 as an FX35, became an FX37 with an upgrade of the V-6 engine in 2013 and morphed into the QX70 in 2014. For 2015, the V-8 engine option is dropped and there is a new optional sport package, and that's about it.
Infiniti identifies the 2014 six-cylinder vehicle as a performance crossover. It is built from the same platform as the former G37 sedan (replaced for 2015 by the new Q50 sedan), and has hatchback styling cues similar to a sport-utility vehicle.
I have driven several examples of the vehicle as it has cautiously evolved over the years, and each time have felt that the vehicle is definitely sporty, but not always in a good way, and less utilitarian than a true crossover should be. Still, there is no question that it is a lot more fun than some of the competition.
The cargo capacity --- 24.8 cubic feet with second-row seatback up, 62 cubic feet with it down --- is skimpier than crossovers that could be considered competition, and the back seat is tighter.
The rear-wheel drive 2014 QX70 3.7 I drove trumpets its sporty intentions with unique styling that features a long hood and short front and rear overhangs. It definitely stands out in a crowd.
The 3.7-liter V-6 engine puts out 325 horsepower and 267 pound-feet of torque. Power is routed to the rear wheels via a 7-speed automatic transmission with a manual-shift mode and rev-matching downshifts.
The 4,200-pound vehicle can race from a stop to 60 mph in a tad over 6 seconds. Top speed is rated at 142 mph, although I can't imagine why anyone would find the time, the space or the inclination to prove that statistic.
Fuel mileage is not the QX70's. long suit. The EPA estimates it at 17 mpg city/24 mpg highway and 19 mpg overall. Traveling alone in a mixture of urban and suburban driving conditions, i averaged 17 mpg of the required premium unleaded fuel.
Handling chores are performed by the independent suspension --- aluminum double wishbones with stabilizer bar in front and aluminum and steel independent multi-link setup with stabilizer bar at the rear. Steering is power-assisted rack-and-pinion.
While the QX70 is agile for a vehicle its size and runs flat through the corners, it does so with a noticeable sacrifice in ride quality. It sometimes pitches slightly from side to side when encountering road irregularities and it attacks bumps rather than swallowing them discreetly. Long trips can be tiring for driver and passengers.
Luxury lovers will find joy in the QX70's interior. Included in the vehicle's base $44,950 price are leather upholstery, high-quality cabin materials, heatable power driver's and front passenger's seats, dual-zone climate control, power rear liftgate, keyless entry and ignition, Bluetooth hands-free phone system, 11-speaker premium sound system, satellite radio capability, and more.
The $2,950 Technology Package adds adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning and prevention, brake assist with forward collision warning and rain-sensing windshield wipers. All, of this, of course, is in addition to a long list of standard safety features.
The Deluxe Touring package, $3,200, includes 20-inch aluminum alloy wheels, quilted leather and climate-controlled front seats,
Add another $4,300 for the Premium Package and you will get, among other things, an 8-inch color touch-screen display, navigation, voice recognition, traffic and weather information, an around-view monitor with moving object detection, and streaming audio via Bluetooth.
Put all that together, add the $995 delivery charge and the total comes to $56,495.
The 2014 QX70 3.7 with rear-wheel drive is not the car for everyone, particularly those who desire a comfortable cruiser with lots of cargo capacity.
But it can surely work for a person looking for something out of the ordinary, a person seeking a liberal dose of luxury and something more than the bland driving experience offered in the bulk of crossover and sport-utility vehicles.

OkI always get excited about a new de-tangler. I have fine, thick, curly hair: this is the best recipe for large rat's nests that are almost impossible to comb out - sometimes I have to cut them out. Especially if I go into salt water - and I live in Miami and I love to snorkel - my hair can take hours to comb out - my arm actually hurts from all the detangling I have to do. So I do have difficult hair - it may not entirely be the product's fault. But I had high hopes and this product is just ok. It does smell good. Instead of squirting, though: where a just a little product comes out - I go ahead and bypass the pump and open the bottle and get a dollop to work with! This is probably a great product for the person who has only minor tangles!

The FIAT 500c offers rear passengers about the same space to stretch out as the Volkswagen Eos with comparable rear head- and legroom in both vehicles. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the FIAT 500c, drivers may find the Volkswagen Eos a little roomier and somewhat more comfortable.
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the FIAT 500c as you will with the Volkswagen Eos, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Based on MSRP, the FIAT 500c is clearly a better financial choice over the Volkswagen Eos. Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Destination Charge for the FIAT 500c is much higher than that for the Volkswagen Eos.
Since the FIAT 500c is much slimmer than the Volkswagen Eos, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the FIAT 500c, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Volkswagen Eos.
The FIAT 500c has much less torque than the Volkswagen Eos, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.
The FIAT 500c has a significantly smaller turning radius than the Volkswagen Eos, allowing much better maneuverability in and out of tight spots.
When it comes to horsepower, the FIAT 500c is significantly less powerful than the Volkswagen Eos. The good news is that, reportedly, cars with lower horsepower engines often have lower insurance premiums.
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the FIAT 500c and the Volkswagen Eos. With its significantly greater cargo capacity, the FIAT 500c will be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Volkswagen Eos.
You'll have greater peace of mind with the more generous basic warranty of the FIAT 500c than that of the Volkswagen Eos.
Compare the 2016 FIAT 500c and the 2015 Volkswagen Eos.

HUSL Fair Housing Clinic Announces Seminar on Preventing Foreclosures
In conjunction with its ongoing community outreach and educational activities, the Fair Housing Clinic at the Howard University School of Law will hold a seminar on preventing foreclosures on Thursday, March 22, 2007, from 6 PM till 7:30 PM at the Law School, Houston Hall room 4 (Van Ness campus). Refreshments will be served.
In this age of rising foreclosures, the Howard University School of Laws Fair Housing Clinic presents a unique and timely seminar: Foreclosure Questions. This seminar is an effort to educate the public on how to prevent foreclosures now and in the future.
Just recently, due to rising numbers of bad mortgages numerous well known mortgage companies folded because of risky, high priced loans they had sold. The number of individual foreclosures overall is increasing in the United States and these statistics are not different in the Washington, D.C. area as well.
If you are in trouble with your mortgage and you would like to keep your home, this seminar is for you. If you are thinking of purchasing a home, this seminar is for you as well as you begin the important process of securing a loan which will pay for your home.
The Fair Housing Clinic at Howard University School of Law is dedicated to advocating on behalf of the public on issues of housing and fair housing. Click here for directions. To RSVP and for more information, contact:

During our formative years, there were three kinds of salt in the house: table, kosher, and rock. And that seemed like a lot. We confess that we're still trying to figure out the whole salt pairing movement, but we think it would be fun to hold a tasting party with this Artisanal Bamboo Salt Chest ($135). Whip up some appetizers, sprinkle a few grains on top, and have guests guess which of the twenty-four salts they're trying.

A weekly round-up of the latest DVD releases.
By Damon Smith.
New to rent on DVD/Blu-Ray.
Colombiana (Cert 15, 103 mins, Entertainment In Video, Action/Thriller/Romance, also available to buy DVD £19.99/Blu-ray £24.99).
Starring: Zoe Saldana, Michael Vartan, Jordi Molla, Lennie James, Callum Blue, Cliff Curtis, Beto Benites, Amandla Stenberg.
In 1992 Colombia, 10-year-old Cataleya (Amandla Stenberg) witnesses the deaths of her parents at the hands of druglord Don Luis (Beto Benites) and his thug henchman, Marco (Jordi Molla). The girl heads to Chicago to reunite with her gangster uncle, Emilio (Cliff Curtis), determined to avenge her parents' deaths. Fifteen years later, Cataleya (now played by Zoe Saldana) has blossomed into a sexy assassin responsible for 22 murders in four years. FBI Special Agent Ross (Lennie James) is on her trail but Cataleya will not end the killing spree until Don Luis and Marco are both six feet under. Complicating matters, the assassin is romantically involved with an artist (Michael Vartan), who wants to know more about the enigmatic woman in his life. Colombiana is a pacy revenge thriller distinguished by a far better performance from Saldana than Olivier Megaton's film deserves. The lithe actress wrings genuine tears from her tragic heroine and seems eminently capable of taking down an entire criminal underworld between applications of lip-gloss. The romance with Vartan's creative hunk is undernourished and James's crusading cop is hamstrung with some terrible dialogue but both men make the most of the scraps in the formulaic yet entertaining script. Megaton orchestrates thrilling set pieces littered with bone-crunching fistfights, explosions and daredevil acrobatics. He masterminds a bravura sequence in a police station, which sees the latex-clad avenger crawling around the building's ventilation ducts to sneak up on a criminal under armed guard. A late-night assault on a kingpin's mansion errs towards unintentional campiness thanks to a subterranean shark pool. James Bond would raise a shaken martini in approval.
Rating: *** Troll Hunter (Cert 15, 99 mins, Momentum Pictures Home Entertainment, Action/Thriller, also available to buy DVD £17.99/Blu-ray £29.99) Starring: Glenn Erland Tosterud, Tomas Alf Larsen, Johanna Morck, Otto Jespersen, Hans Morten Hansen.
In the west, trolls are cute gift shop trinkets with voluminous hair but in Scandinavia, these fantastical creatures are deeply embedded in folklore. Some are truly terrifying and director Andre Ovredal explores the mythology in this hugely entertaining and action-packed thriller about a student film crew who stumble upon a secret that involves the upper echelons of power in Norway. Thomas (Glenn Erland Tosterud), video camera man Kalle (Tomas Alf Larsen) and sound operator Johanna (Johanna Morck) are intrigued by the deaths of several bears. Local hunters point the finger of suspicion at Hans (Otto Jespersen), so the students stalk their prime suspect and discover that Hans is an employee of the government who risks his life to secretly deal with trolls. Unexpectedly, Hans allows the camera crew to follow him on his adventures and the youngsters stand slack-jawed as they glimpse the gargantuan creatures they thought only existed in fairy stories. In the process, the film-makers clash with Finn (Hans Morten Hansen), the director of the Troll Security Service, who doesn't want footage of the beasts filtering into the mainstream. Troll Hunter is a fast-paced romp stylised as 'found' documentary footage, replete with blurred camerawork as Kalle and his fellow students gallop through trees and undergrowth in the dead of night to escape a rampaging creature. Some of the digital effects lack polish but director Ovredal cleverly side-steps technological shortcomings by shooting one tense sequence in night vision. Like the petrified students, we hold our breath, praying the dark will keep them safe from harm.
Rating: *** Also released Against The Current (Cert 15, 94 mins, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, Drama/Romance, also available to buy DVD £19.99 - see below) Arrietty (Cert U, 90 mins, Studio Canal, Animation/Drama, also available to buy DVD £19.99/Blu-ray & DVD Combi-pack £24.99 - see below) The Big Picture (Cert 15, 115 mins, Artificial Eye, Drama, also available to buy DVD £15.99 - see below) Cell 211 (Cert 18, 108 mins, Studio Canal, Thriller/Drama, also available to buy DVD £15.99/Blu-ray £19.99 - see below) In A Better World (Haevnen) (Cert 15, 119 mins, Axiom Films, Drama/Romance, also available to buy DVD £15.99/Blu-ray £19.99 - see below) Melancholia (Cert 15, 135 mins, Artificial Eye, Drama, also available to buy DVD £15.99/Blu-ray £19.99 - see below) Project Nim (Cert 12, 95 mins, Icon Home Entertainment, Documentary, also available to buy DVD £15.99 - see below)

For those of you not familiar with the geopoltical underpinnings of the Ukraine/Crimea crisis, here is what the shouting is all about.
It's about borscht. Yes, the soup.
Borscht originated in eastern Europe in places like Lithuania, Poland, Russia and Ukraine. It was mostly poor people food, but culturally it is of great significance in that part of the world.
There are a lot of folks in Russia who claim that they invented borscht. But it is pretty much universally acknowledged that the Ukrainians invented it.
Now, while the Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union, Russia could artfully claim that since Ukraine was part of Russia, ipso facto, Russia invented borscht.
With the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Ukraine became a sovereign nation and re-claimed the mantle of inventor of borscht.
This just stuck in Russia's craw. Gnawing away, like a rash that wouldn't disappear.
So, the Russians finally decided to do something about it.
As we have seen, there are a lot of Russian sympathizers in Crimea and using that groundswell of support for mother Russia, Putin inserted troops into the Crimea, held a quick election and bada boom, bada bing, Russia got bigger.
But Crimea was not enough. As long as Ukraine continues to exist as a free sovereign nation, albeit with a lot of neo-nazi, right wing idiots running around, Russia could not claim the borscht invention title.
So, what was the solution? Get a mobster to pass himself off as the new prime minister of Crimea, call for inclusion into the Russian federation and bring in Russian troops.
Now it's just a matter of time before Russia makes a grab for the rest of the country. Once Ukraine is back in the fold, Russia can justifiably say, that they invented borscht.
And that's why, it's all about the borscht.
Be sure to check out the animated international political satire series World in Colour.

Last night on "Masterchef" the cooks were presented with a huge box that contained Alaskan Salmon for each of them to fillet and prepare a dish that would earn them not only the win, but also an advantage for the elimination challenge. It was mind-boggling, because chef Ramsay went ahead and fillet one right before their eyes and instead of the cooks watching him and learning, instead they chose to go ahead and do their own thing, some succeeded, others slid right by, and a few just slaughtered the $450 dollar delicacy.
The cooking ensued and upon tasting three received praise those were Christian, Courtney, and Elizabeth. But ultimately Christian got the win and with that a great advantage for the elimination challenge. First, he would not have to cook, and second he got to choose from three baskets that each one of the judges picked with ingredients they enjoy cooking with. Christian opted for Joe's basket that contained an amalgam of wine, balsamic vinegar, and other sophisticated items that he uses to prepare Italian dishes at home. The cooks would have 60 minutes to prepare their dishes, but Christian was given another advantage and that was to choose one cook who would only have 30 minutes to cook, and of course he picked Courtney whom he thought he could trip up and maybe even wind up eliminating.
Courtney stood watching the others cook for the first 30 minutes and as a side not, Elise all of a sudden went pale and the medics had to be called and she left apparently ill, however, managed to return 20 minutes later as though nothing had happened, but her cooking was suffering already so the additional 20 minutes lost did not make much difference anyway to a flawed and not very appetizing dish. Then Courtney was informed she could start cooking and she began without rushing, sure of herself and wound up turning one of the best dishes of the night; when someone is excellent at something nothing can ever trip them up, or make them lose their composure.
The bottom two dishes belonged to Cutter, again, and Elise who cried as though such could make up for a poorly cooked dish and according to judges flavorless. Cutter on the other hand continues being defiant and speaking as though he knows better than the judges, and he is just there to be picked on, but at the end he survived another night because Elise was sent home. Recaps and information on this show can be watched online at www.fox.com/masterchef/
"Masterchef" runs on Monday at 8 p.m. EDT on Fox.

Preheat oven to 375. Take parchment paper and fold in half like a book. Draw a large half heart on the paper, with fold of the paper being the center of the heart. Cut out heart and open. Lay fennel, leeks, carrots and snow peas on parchment in center to one side of the fold.
Mix together salt, pepper and ground coriander. Sprinkle vegetables with half of seasonings. Lay bluefish on top of vegetables and season with remaining seasonings. Top with the orange supremes and sprinkle with vermouth.
Fold other side of heart over fish and starting at top, fold up both edges of parchment, overlapping folds as you move along. Once you reach the end, twist tip several times to secure. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 10 to 15 minutes. The fish will be done when the parchment starts to turn golden brown. Remove from oven and transfer to a plate. Carefully cut the parchment open, the steam will be extremely hot.Serves 1Note: This technique will work well with most fish and is an excellent way to cook for one.

1. Re: applying cpu with a physical standby in place - 11gSrini Chavali-Oracle Apr 6, 2010 5:06 PM (in response to stellr)Pl see if MOS Doc 813445.1 (Applying CPU Patches With Standby Database In Place) can help. It is generic enough to apply to 11g. Opening an SR may also help.
2. Re: applying cpu with a physical standby in place - 11gstellr Apr 6, 2010 5:31 PM (in response to Srini Chavali-Oracle)813445.1 - Applies to: Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition - Version: 10.2.0.4
3. Re: applying cpu with a physical standby in place - 11gStan - Herrman Apr 28, 2010 3:49 PM (in response to stellr)The "readme" for Patch 9369783 (which covers the AprilCPU for our 22.214.171.124 HPUX-IA64 environment) includes this short reference to DataGuard:
If you are using a Data Guard Physical Standby database, you must first install this patch on the primary database before installing the patch on the physical standby database. It is not supported to install this patch on the physical standby database before installing the patch on the primary database. For more information, see My Oracle Support Note 278641.1.
When checking that note 278641.1 we see that it also appears to only cover 10.2. Although this note has more detail, it is clearly the same procedure as discussed in 813445.1. Therefore, the conclusion that I make is: OPatch works exactly the same with DataGuard in 11g as it did in 10g.
We will be upgrading our DataGuard enviornment to 11g in one-month. At this point, I am completely expecting our OPatch procedures to remain unchanged from what we have done for years with 9i and 10g. I would also note that the upgrade procedures we have tested (involving DG from 10.2.0.4 to 184.108.40.206) are nearly identical to the above mentioned support notes.
Hope that helps,

Law Students, Looking for a Niche? It's Fun to Work on the FCPA
The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act is huge right now. In a recent report, the tireless D&O Diary author Kevin LaCroix writes that the 30-year-old law is "going through a 21st Century revival." And on Monday, Gibson Dunn put out the "2008 Mid-Year FCPA Update," which begins: "The frenetic pace of [FCPA] enforcement set in 2007 has carried through the first half of 2008. Mid-year prosecutions are up — substantially so — from last year's record-setting totals."
What accounts for this latest legal rage? According to LaCroix (pictured), Sarbox's requirement that senior execs scrutinize corporate controls is leading to an up-tick in self-reporting of FCPA violations. Also, the DOJ and SEC are beginning to target specific industries — namely, the medical device industry in Europe, companies participating in the U.N. Iraq Oil for Food Program and technology companies. The authorities, according to LaCroix, are also targeting companies "doing business in countries where bribery is believed to be part of the local business culture." Businesses doing work in Nigeria and China have drawn scrutiny.
But the most novel development in FCPA action doesn't directly involve the FCPA. For shareholders of companies that get stung in these investigations, there's no private right of action under the this act. Instead, shareholders are bringing securities class-actions and derivative suits against directors and officers of the offending companies.
The Gibson Dunn memo calls activity in this class of FCPA follow-on litigation an "outburst," adding that "our recurring advice to clients and friends has been to expect and prepare for tag-along civil litigation when a new governmental FCPA investigation becomes public." (For more FCPA news, check out Richard Cassin's FCPA blog.)
As examples in this follow-on litigation, LaCroix cites Willbros' $10.5 million settlement of a class action suit after the company, which is an independent contractor for the oil and gas industry, restated results and upped its reserve to cover potential FCPA-related penalties. As for shareholder derivative suits based on allegations of overseas public bribery, he cites Alcoa, which currently faces allegations — made by the government of Bahrain — that for years it overcharged a government-owned aluminum company there by paying off a government official. Calls to Willbros and Alcoa were not immediately returned.
These kinds of cases, says LaCroix, illustrate how leading plaintiffs' securities lawyers are leaping in, signaling that more such suits are on the way.

St. Joseph Regional Medical Center is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment from Seimers. The camera provides fast imaging time with high quality resolution.
Nuclear medicine involves using small amounts of radioactive materials called tracers to help diagnose and treat a variety of diseases. Nuclear medicine determines the cause of the problem based on the function of the organ, tissue or bone. During an exam, the amount of tracer is carefully selected to provide the least amount of radiation exposure to the patient while providing the most accurate exam. A special camera, called the E-cam gamma camera, is used to detect the tracer in the organ, bone, or tissue. It records that information on a computer screen or on film.
Nuclear medicine procedures are among the safest. A patient receives the smallest amount of radioactive material possible. The amount of radiation from a nuclear study procedure is comparable to, or often less than, a diagnostic x-ray. The nuclear medicine technologist can assist you with any questions you may have regarding safety.

A tribute to C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters
My Dear Tyrann,
First and foremost, I must commend you as a great falling star among young tempters. You have proven to be quite adept at establishing a nearly unsustainable benchmark of expectations for your first assignment. This new couple, during their courtship, has come to expect a great deal from one another and you have met all of your initial goals with apparent ease. They have offered each other nothing other than the very best and seldom have allowed any of their shortcomings to be realized.
Our forefathers have already convinced mankind that sexual relations should be explored prior to marriage under the pretext that they may not be skilled enough to satisfy and quench each other's lustful physical needs. An increasing number of them now believe that it would be foolish to marry someone without having, shall I say, tested the waters. So with that said, their courtship has been primed with great expectations of things to come.
Our research department will concur that very little will frustrate a man as significantly as something he has come to expect and being deprived from such expectation or desired end. The seeds of these false expectations have been planted during their courtship and will grow into one of our greatest weapons against them: discontent.
She will certainly notice the more and more infrequent gifts and flowers or that he no longer helps her with her gardening, which he often found to be time consuming and unrewarding except for the fact that it pleased her greatly. She begins to sense that her relationship is slightly less than the perfection she had imagined.
He may have missed some of the subtler signs from her but he can't help but notice that she has become less eager to be physically intimate, consequently resulting in his feeling as though he has been deprived of or possibly even deceived about some of the unspoken promise from their courtship.
With regard to this couple's courtship, I commend you, young Tyrann. The couple expects selflessness from one another and they expect this to be the case more often than not. They are completely unprepared for anything other than perfection. The resulting expectations you have manifested in your couple has established a perfect environment for discontent. They have come to expect that all of their needs will be met by someone other than themselves, namely their spouse.
The expectation and transference of this responsibility would otherwise be absurd had it not been masterfully crafted for centuries. Where else on earth can one rightfully justify or expect someone else to be responsible and accountable for his own personal happiness? With one caveat and that exception may be found in politics and we know how shallow, empty and short lived those promises are.
In addition to the obvious (the slow and persistent unraveling of their expectations which is accomplished through both partners) you must keep them from participating in some critical activities. At all costs, keep them from gathering together in any meaningful manner to share and communicate with the enemy. If and most certainly when they do, draw their attention towards the differences in their beliefs and don't allow them to dwell on common ground. They will certainly devour each other and possibly even momentarily despise each other, thus casting aside anything positive from their attempts at communing with the enemy.
If you have done your work correctly, and after a number of failed attempts to commune together with the enemy, your couple will naturally want to avoid this type of conflict and thus any joint attempts at open dialogue concerning religion. Your couple will naturally develop a distaste for this and any future attempts at communion with their creator. If you can continue to lead them towards a painful outcome, you may succeed in your goal. As you are well aware, anything that causes division or even the realization of moderate differences between the couple can evolve into far more powerful tools for the benefit of our cause.
Please send me an update with regards to the expectations from their unmarried friends.
In sincere indifference

Leading the pack
Cargill leads the packaged deicing industry in melting ingredient transparency
January 2011 – Cargill is leading the packaged deicing industry to a higher standard of transparency with improvements in disclosure regarding its melting ingredients.
Ice melters – when applied to sidewalks, driveways and parking lots – increase safety by reducing the chance of slipping and falling. We believe that buyers can make better buying decisions when it comes to ice melters if they have information on minimum ice melt temperatures, melting ingredients and their capabilities.
Transparency in ice melter ingredients
The packaged deicing industry does not require ingredient listings. At Cargill, we opted to disclose the name and percentage inclusion of each melting ingredient on our deicer packaging.
Bob O'Connell, assistant marketing manager for Cargill's salt business, notes, "Without disclosure, performance claims can't easily be evaluated and verified. This may leave buyers making purchase decisions based on variations of ingredient percentages, which may not yield the expected results."
The new packaging became available in 2010 and will continue to be introduced in 2011.
Ice melt at work
Ice melters work by lowering water's freezing point. The faster and colder ice dissolves, the better the ice melter. If the freezing point is below the outside temperature, ice melts. Our goal is to provide melting temperature information so buyers can better understand the outcome of the ice melt they use.
Ice melter information on packaging, and online
Cargill is providing ice melter information as part of an initiative to help promote safety, best practices, and improved experiences in the use of packaged ice melters. "We hope this raises the bar in the industry and encourages other manufacturers to disclose what's in their ice melter packages," O'Connell said. We've also invited other ice melter competitors to participate in similar disclosure, and to suggest ways to verify content ingredients and percentages for the good of the customers, users and our industry.
Learn more about health and safety risks, storage and handling of ice melter products, and even stain ratings and best practices for protecting pets when using ice melt online, at our diamondcrystalsalt.com website.

I am looking for a decent linux server dedicated with 8GB+ RAM and comparable CPU Spec. There are too many webhosts out there, any recommendation on a cheap but decent host? turnkey seems cheap, but is it good?
closed as not constructive by Chris S Sep 19 '12 at 13:12
As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Once you're over a gig or two in RAM, it's probably more cost-effective to buy a cheap server and colocate it. Slicehost, for example, is a great host that I highly recommend, but their 8GB servers cost $450/month - and that's pretty inline with what I've seen elsewhere.
Considering reputable companies in my city let you colocate a 1U server in a good datacenter for ~100/month, you'd pay for your server very quickly with the monthly savings.

Honey Boo Boo Makes Late Night Debut on Jimmy Kimmel, Endorses Obama (VIDEO)
Honey Boo Boo made her late night TV debut on Monday's "Jimmy Kimmel Live," where the excitable 7-year-old and her mother "Mama" June Shannon talked fame, fortune, nicknames, Halloween and more.
The pint-sized star also unwittingly made an obscene gesture, endorsed President Obama's re-election, and couldn't help but be distracted by pretty much everything on set — including her own image on the show's monitors.
All in all, it was Honey Boo Boo at her Honey Boo Boo-iest.

As one of Lord Sugar's most trusted confidantes, Claudine Collins was the obvious choice to act as a judge in The Apprentice.
Miss Collins, the managing director of advertising agency MediaCom, appeared in the semi-final of the BBC reality show this week to quiz the remaining five candidates hoping to make it through to the last round.
Lord Sugar is not planning to walk away from The Apprentice after nearly 10 years as boardroom boss of the hit BBC reality show.
The peer said: "As long as the BBC wants to screen The Apprentice, I will do it for them".
He was responding to a Radio Times interview with Nick Hewer, his right-hand man on the show, who speculated that Lord Sugar might be thinking of calling it quits.
Training schemes and internships could be better co-ordinated to benefit both businesses and potential employees, Lord Sugar has told Jewish students.
He said interns were a distraction for workers and that independent training programmes funded by the government should be scrapped in favour of directly paying companies to train apprentices.
Lord Sugar admitted that there have been "occasions where I got it wrong" in the Apprentice boardroom, as he launched the ninth series of the BBC reality show this week.
It is turning out to be an unhappy year for Roman Abramovich. His football club, Chelsea, have failed to win the Premier League, his yacht is no longer the world's biggest, and now he is not even the UK's richest Jew from the former Soviet Union.
Lord Sugar has won an employment tribunal case brought against him by Apprentice winner Stella English.
Mrs English, who secured a job with Lord Sugar after competing in the popular BBC programme in 2010, brought a case of constructive dismissal earlier this year.
Tributes have been pouring in from Anglo-Jewry in memory of the late British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher.
Baroness Thatcher, who died on Monday at the age of 87, was described as "a giant who had a transformative impact on Britain" by chief rabbi Lord Sacks.
US billionaire Donald Trump has bitterly attacked Lord Sugar as "never successful" enough.
Mr Trump fronts the American version of the tv show The Apprentice.
In a Twitter attack on the BBC star, Mr Trump told the self-made Londoner: "Unlike you, I own The Apprentice. You were never successful enough."
Lord Sugar, 65, will receive a T3 "Outstanding Contribution Award" for his extensive involvement in the technology industry.
The T3 awards ceremony, known as the Oscars of the gadget world, will take place at the Old Billingsgate in London next Monday.

The ongoing debate over our Second Amendment has continued to rage on from the days of Woodrow Wilson until now. The goal of the political left has been to effect a complete repeal of that Amendment, regardless of their claims that, "nobody wants to take your guns away." Dismissive attitudes being substituted for substantive debate not withstanding, there are some supremely dangerous concepts being included in this national dialogue emanating from our esteemed opponents who reside on the left side of the aisle.
One of the recurring themes I've heard over and over again, is that we do not need more than x number of bullets in an magazine. We do not need certain weapons to kill a dear. We do not need more than a handgun for instance to protect our homes. My objection is to the word, "need." Make no mistake about it, this concept of what we need being determined for us, while it may sound reasonable to some, and even articulated professionally, is perhaps the single most evil argument that has been proffered, and this is true whether the person offering this point realizes the evil being committed or not.
One of the founding principles of our nation was this. Our rights, while recognized by the Constitution, are given to us as a matter of being born human. They are not granted to us by a benevolent government, but by our creator. Those governments that do not recognize these rights are acting in bad faith against their fellow man, and are usurpers of the natural rights all men, who are born with the inalienable right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. They are certainly not based on what a third party has deemed us to need.
There are several dangers associated with the concept of a central government determining what our needs are, and then taking it upon themselves to tell us what those needs are and limiting us to that. I strongly suggest that who ever reads this essay go ahead and click the link. What my friend Buzzsawmonkey so articulately describes is that once our sovereignty is traded for the bag full of goodies that our ruling elites have so benevolently promised to provide us as our needs, all pretense will be dropped, and we will have neither our sovereignty nor that which was promised. Our cost will be our freedom, and any ability to do anything about it.
Another danger is that the debate has subtly changed, and the premise that anyone has the authority to describe our lives in terms of what they tell us our needs are has become accepted by far too many Americans. Individual property rights, as defined in our founding document, are the rights of all Americans to keep what ever they create, irrespective of what they need. We, simply because we want to, get to keep what we carve our for ourselves. I can not identify a single passage in the U.S. Constitution that says where a central planner can determine that our property rights end where that central planner believes we have accumulated sufficiently to satisfy our needs. In terms of the Second Amendment debate, our right to bear arms certainly was not based on what any future government would determine what our needs were, in fact the opposite is true. Our Second Amendment is based on what any government who was in charge would hopefully fear us having.
The following is a debate between piers Morgan, and the only one arguing our position that actually managed to articulately state all of the points that should have been made. Fitting that once again, it happened to be Newt Gingrich who gets it right. I have seen about a half dozen of these debates featuring Morgan, and a half dozen others, and no one hits the exact heart of the matter, except for Speaker Gingrich. Our right to bear arms was not based on hunting, target shooting, skeet shooting, our ability to shoot home intruders, or to even see us better able to protect ourselves. The entire purpose for the Second Amendment was so that those who were in charge of our government would be afraid of the citizens that they governed.
I do not wish to label all people who want a gun free America as evil. I have no doubt that there are many who wish the Second Amendment did not exist are truly genuine with the concern that they feel. Sincerity is not the issue. What is the issue here is the dishonesty with which the debate is being held. Piecemeal abridgments of our Constitutional Rights are wrong, no matter how much the offending party believes that their concern for our well being supersedes our own right to choose for ourselves.
There are ways however that our Constitution can be changed honestly. Our Constitution has within its text, two separate methods by which it can be changed. As evidence of this being possible to accomplish, both methods have been used to combine for a total to date of 17 such changes since the document became our supreme law. That translates to one change in our Constitution for every 13.5 years that we have been a nation. For those who wish to repeal the Second Amendment, all you need do is convince roughly three quarters of all Americans that they should follow along, and the right to bear arms will be a thing of the past. Just remember when you do it, should you be successful, Barack Obama will not be President forever. Your trust placed in the government may not be quite so deserved by the government that is in power in say a decade, two decades, a century, or even four years from now. I can remember hearing a lot of hand wringing about how evil and stupid George W. Bush was only a short time ago. The same imperial powers granted to the current group would transfer automatically to the next group, whether you like them or not.

Sequels are nothing new in Hollywood, but this release weekend has produced a larger than usual number of them over the years with three celebrating milestones. Here's a look back:
1 Year Ago
G.I. Joe: Retaliation
Original Release Date: March 29, 2013
The Line (in millions) – Budget: $140, Opening: $40.5, Total: $122, Worldwide: $371.9
Flashback: Turns out international audiences love The Rock about as much as they love 3D. The combination wiped out the sour taste of the original in some ways, but the franchise still has a little ways to go in the plot department.
10 Years Ago
Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed
Original Release Date: March 26, 2004
The Line (in millions) – Budget: $25, Opening: $29.4, Total: $84.1, Worldwide: $181.1
Flashback: Like G.I. Joe's sequel, this one had a lot of creative issues to work through, but it did perform well and on a shoestring budget.
20 Years Ago
D2: The Mighty Ducks
Original Release Date: March 25, 1994
The Line (in millions) – Budget: NA, Opening: $10.3, Total: $45.6, Worldwide: NA
Flashback: While not as successful as the original creatively and financially it certainly served its purpose.
Other Notable Milestones
5 Years Ago
Monsters vs. Aliens
Original Release Date: March 27, 2013
The Line (in millions) – Budget: $175, Opening: $40.5, Total: $59.3, Worldwide: $381.6
Flashback: You'd think a $175 million production budget would be ridiculous for a studio to greenlight just to launch a franchise and yet clearly it worked!
15 Years Ago
Ed TV
Original Release Date: March 26, 2013
The Line (in millions) – Budget: $60, Opening: $8.3 Total: $22.5, Worldwide: $35.3

Next week: Bullet time turns 15!

The etymology is easy to surmise, and yet it seems so placid.
"Fan" is short for fanatic, describing the engine that drives big-time sports. If it weren't for fans willing to spend time and money supporting their favorite teams, major sports would more resemble the sandlots of our youth. There would be no 70,000-seat stadiums. No $3.8 million spots for Super Bowl ads. No cultural touchstones that become the water cooler discussions of the following morning.
But fans there are, and fans there will be, as devotion to a particular team becomes a sort of self-identity.
That is one thing that makes the Super Bowl different. It draws in people who aren't football fans, who aren't sports fans, who aren't fans of either team yet simply want to take part in the experience.
But the rest of the year? Well, that's where the NFL has a budding problem.
You see, NFL fandom on any given Sunday has become a tribal ritual. Go to a game at any stadium in the league and you can witness a Lord of the Flies mentality.
At least, that's what Vancouver's Sarah Brown and her family saw in December while attending the Seahawks-49ers game in Seattle. Brown wrote to The Columbian describing her experience.
"Both my 14-year-old son and his friend were verbally assaulted by Seahawk fans because they were wearing 49er items," Brown wrote. "All throughout the day, before and during the game, every Niner fan in our group was screamed at, cussed at, even pushed and threatened.
"We were not able to enjoy the game because our primary concern became our safety, not being able to cheer on our team."
Brown also shared her complaints with Seahawks officials, and the team responded by seeking specifics of the incidents in order to improve security in those areas.
Seahawks fans are notoriously fanatic. The franchise makes a show out of raising the 12th Man flag right before kickoff, in honor of the fans. And the stadium operations team puts statistics on the video board trumpeting how often opponents are drawn into false-start penalties at CenturyLink Field, presumably because of the noise made by the home crowd.
The fact that a couple drunken yahoos can't control themselves shouldn't be seen as an indictment on the 67,000 other people in attendance. But the NFL has a problem, and it is growing.
In 2011, according to ESPN, more than 7,000 fans were ejected from NFL games. Considering that there are 256 regular-season contests, that's an average of more than 25 fans per game. That led the league to institute a policy this season dictating that ejected fans must take a four-hour course on proper fan behavior before returning to the stadium.
That seems to be a decent effort to address the problem, yet getting at the root will require a little more digging.
Fans in all sports these days are more prone to embracing the "fanatic" part of their mission than they used to be. Fandom has become a righteous self-justification, a mentality of, "If you aren't with us, then you're against us."
Add in the inherent violence of football, the once-a-week schedule that lends importance to each particular game, and the tradition of getting well-oiled in the hours before the game, and the sport is a cauldron for stirring up the worst among the trouble-makers in the crowd.
Baseball had a similar problem with obnoxious, drunken fans in the 1980s. The sport dealt with it by increasing security, closing beer sales after the seventh inning, and dealing swiftly with out-of-control fans. Along the way it managed to rebrand itself as a family-friendly activity.
The NFL is a different animal. The cost of a game makes attendance unattainable for most families, and as the 800-pound gorilla of American sports, the league has no real reason to alter its culture.
But something else that Brown wrote in her e-mail suggests that the atmosphere of the stadiums is, in some small way, damaging to the league:
"This was my son's first professional game, and it will probably be his last. He has told me that he never wants to go to another pro football game again. This whole experience has turned mine and my family's love of professional football to hate."
And that makes for a few less fanatics for the NFL.

Study indicates Milwaukee could lead in engaging young Jewish families
September 25th, 2008
Mark Rosen, Pd.D.
Social scientist Mark Rosen, Ph.D., has high hopes that Milwaukee's Jewish community may be the first in the country to implement his vision of an effort to inspire many more young Jewish families to engage with their faith and community and raise their children as involved Jews.
Working out of the Brandeis University Cohen Center for Modern Jewish Studies, Rosen completed, in August 2006, a one-year national research study funded by the Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation and Milwaukee's Helen Bader Foundation.
Then he used those results to analyze and prepare a report for the Bader Foundation on the Milwaukee area's programs, people and trends that influence young Jewish parents.
Rosen gave an overview of that report to Milwaukee Jewish community leaders at a luncheon meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 23, at the Bader Foundation.
"This group [of young parents] is largely neglected in Jewish life," Rosen told The Chronicle in a telephone interview last week. And that is a mistake, because the result has a far-reaching negative effect on the numbers of Jews who stay connected to Judaism and the Jewish community.
"When people first become parents, they're looking for friendship, they're looking for guidance, they're looking for connections and where they make those early connections can really determine the course of a number of years," Rosen said.
"If they make early Jewish connections, they'll make Jewish choices and if they don't ... they'll make non-Jewish choices and so the idea is to find ways to help them connect Jewishly at that critical early window, which is really the first two years [of their first child's life.]"
During this time, when the lives of new parents have changed completely and they are exploring options, making new friends and thinking about how they want to raise their children, there are no institutions in most Jewish communities for them to turn to, Rosen noted.
"It's before preschool; synagogues are not really kid friendly — if you go to Friday nights services, you can't have your toddler crawling around — and so there's really no comfortable place to go that's Jewish."
Rosen, who is currently a visiting scholar in the Eliot Pearson Department of Child Development at Tufts University, reported that Milwaukee has unique strengths in this area. He specifically pointed
• A strong set of parenting programs at the Harry & Rose Samson Family Jewish Community Center, which Rosen described as one of "relatively few JCCs around the country where families with young children have such a prominent strategic role in the business plan.
• "A prominent, visible and influential" Chabad Lubavitch organization with a respected preschool, Jewish Beginnings Lubavitch Preschool, that "attracts a number of families who might not otherwise become involved with a Jewish institution."
• The Helen Bader Foundation, which "plays a major role in fostering new and creative programming." He noted that "unlike most other federation-driven communities, where change can be slow because of federation committee structures, [this foundation] permits innovation in Milwaukee to occur relatively quickly.
• "Many secular institutions that offer sophisticated services and programs to parents, providing expertise that the Jewish community can draw upon."
The most significant weakness that Rosen found in Milwaukee, and in every community he examined, is that no matter how good the programs of local institutions and organizations are, none of them can offer all of the answers and there are many barriers to collaboration.
For example, he said, Jewish community centers are probably the best places overall to have programs for young families, because they have preschools and the right kind of facilities and orientation; but they don't generally offer religious content.
In addition, JCCs and institutions like them necessarily aim to build their own membership, rather than work together to offer the broadest array of choices to parents, he said.
Rosen advocates a model where one organization or individual acts as a central clearinghouse for all the programs in a community "because it ultimately will bring the most parents in connection with Jewish life," he said.
What is most needed is "a community-wide approach where all the names of [all] the parents are pulled into a central list and then all of the options are advertised to that list and the parents get to choose what makes them most comfortable," Rosen said.
Such a neutral, disinterested entity doesn't exist, though Rosen knows of one community that is considering creating one. "Maybe that's an option for Milwaukee.... It's up to Milwaukee to decide that."
Tobey Libber, program officer in charge of Bader's Jewish Life and Learning area, has been supportive of Rosen's work since they met while Rosen was doing research on the Milwaukee community for his initial national study, which was only partially funded at the time.
The Bader Foundation decided to fund these studies, because it "sees services to young families and college students as particularly important to future involvement in the Jewish community," Libber said in a telephone interview.
"This particular report was of significance to us because it reached an age group where families are making critical choices about the futures of their Jewish lives. It's so very important that there be opportunities for them to connect Jewishly with our community," Libber said.
As forthe establishment of a central community coordinator, or clearinghouse, Libber said, "we actually tried to get that going but we didn't have much success."
Rabbi Shari Shamah, the Ethical Start coordinator at the JCC, whose position is funded by the Bader Foundation, is functioning in this role to some extent, Libber said. She is doing a lot of work with this particular age group.
Libber said he feels Rosen's recommendations "are solid and rational as a result of the research that was done." He added, "I'm hopeful that the community will move in the direction of working together to reach out to families, rather than working independently."

Actor and Director
Nelson Ackerman Eddy was an American singer and actor who appeared in 19 musical films during the 1930s and 1940s, as well as in opera and on the concert stage, radio, television, and in nightclubs. A classically trained baritone, he is best remembered for the eight films in which he costarred with soprano Jeanette MacDonald. He was one of the first "crossover" stars, a superstar appealing both to shrieking bobby-soxers as well as opera purists, and in his heyday was the highest paid singer in the world. During his 40-year career, he earned three stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, left his footprints in the wet cement at Grauman's Chinese Theater, earned three Gold records, and was invited to sing at the third inauguration of U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1941. He also introduced millions of young Americans to classical music and inspired many of them to pursue a musical career.

Retired DCSO K-9 dies, was recognized on 'America's Most Wanted'
Published: Wednesday, October 3, 2012 at 4:06 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, October 3, 2012 at 4:06 p.m.
A retired K-9 who was recognized on "America's Most Wanted" has died, according to a news release from the Davidson County Sheriff's Office.
Sheriff David Grice said retired K-9 Xena died Wednesday. She retired in March 2011 and was sold to her handler/partner, Sgt. Jerry Soles. Xena began service in 2003 and was extremely successful at detecting drugs, the news release stated.
Xena was recognized on "America's Most Wanted" and was dubbed the "$4 million dog" by Living Magazine. Xena won second place in the nation in the K-9 Allstars Award. Her law enforcement career statistics included cash seizures of $4,187,570, helping locate 934.5 pounds of marijuana and 300 pounds of cocaine and numerous pill and weapons seizures.
"Xena is a perfect example of the value of K-9 partners for officers involved in drug enforcement," Grice said.
Xena's retirement duties included guardian of Soles' family and playmate for his children.
