Britain's Got Talent Star Ryan O'Shaughnessy To Write A Song With Louis Tomlinson
Could Ryan O' Shaugnessy be the next songwriter to pen a track for One Direction's new album?
Speaking with the Daily Star, Ryan said:
"I've been speaking to Louis out of One Direction on Twitter and he said he'd like to write a song with me, so we will do that soon. I love getting to know somebody new and writing something from scratch."
Singer-songwriter Ryan found fame on the latest series of Britain's Got Talent. Watch the brand new official video for Ryan's new single 'No Name' below:
We think it would be cool if he wrote a song for the next 1D album, but whether that could happen we can't say for sure.
Ed Sheeran famously wrote fan favourite 'Moments' for 'Up All Night', and the ginger-haired crooner is reportedly being lined up to write another track for the boys sophomore effort.
Elsewhere, 1D were reportedly thrown out of a bunch of Las Vegas casinos for being underage.
A source told The Sun:
"The boys were hoping to go wild in Vegas by boozing and gambling into the early hours. But security at every casino in town knew who the lads were and threw them out because the legal drinking and gambling age in the US is 21."
To comfort the boys however, they were given a swanky two-floor suite at their hotel complete with its own hot-tub, pool table, and mini basketball court!

Intouchables Movie Reviews
User reviews on Intouchables
This was by far the best movie I've seen this past year. Excellent film. It's based on a true story so I don't understand the review above that didn't like it because it wasn't realistic ? Strange. This movie will make you cry and laugh and it's so good, you'll understand why it's the rage globally. This is the only movie I would give 5 stars to.
I thought this film is pretty good and if you are looking for a comedy i suggest this film. I found the film to be quite charming and touching and I had a lot of fun watching it. Yes the film is not realistic at all but it is funny and I think people will love it. I think the film was well made and executed and I thought that the acting was pretty great. I love French films and I love their humor because it is witty and smart and this film had that kind of humor. Overall, i had a lot of fun watching this film and I think it is worth seeing in the movie theater.
I heard that this film was very popular in Europe, especially France but i did not find it good and I do not recommend seeing it in the theaters. I found this film to be offensive, full of stereotypes and I really did not enjoy watching it. I also did not really found this film to be funny one bit and I wish the filmmakers did not rely so heavily on cliches that are very backwards. I did like the cast and I think that they did an excellent job with their roles. Overall, I think that this film will not please the American audience.

This is a discussion on .45 ACP COR-BON 160g DPX suffers from easy set back when chambering. within the Defensive Ammunition & Ballistics forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I bought some COR-BON 160g DPX before the ammo shortage got serious. I bought it to use in my XDs because it is supposedly optimized ...
I bought some COR-BON 160g DPX before the ammo shortage got serious. I bought it to use in my XDs because it is supposedly optimized for short barrels. My initial testing showed the ammo worked flawlessly in the pistol, was pleasant to shoot, and shot to point of aim at expected self defense distances out to 15 yards.
I rotate the ammo so the same round isn't chambered over and over, and every now and then, not on a rigid schedule, I measure the length of the ammo in the magazines to be sure it's okay. I also put a light scribe line on the bullet at the case mouth so I see it move before it moves very far (as in more than about 0.010").
The pistol was returned from SA Monday. I took it to the range yesterday. It performed flawlessly with 230g ball, 185g XTP, and 230g GD, which is what I had to shoot in it. I decided the gun is just as good now as it was when it left to be fixed, so I got out the box of COR-BON DPX to reload the magazines. This is ammo that had been in the gun last summer when I carried it. I'd removed it from the magazines and re-boxed it when I sent the pistol to SA right around September 1st (it arrived at SA on 9-3 @ 10:54 a.m. if it matters).
Out of habit I took the digital calipers to it and measured cartridge lengths from 1.237 to as short as 1.209. I put the 1.209 cartridge in a magazine, chambered it by releasing the slide, then cleared the gun and measured it again. It measured 1.201. I checked the crimp, it's 0.470" which is pretty tight. I wouldn't want it to be smaller than that. I put it in my ballistic bullet puller, gave it one whack and the bullet pulled right out. My reloads (with Speer GD or Hornady DPX and a 0.471" crimp) take 4 or 5 whacks. I decided recrimping to tighten the bullets wasn't in the cards.
I've reluctantly concluded I'll shoot what I have left of the 160g COR-BON DPX ammo and not buy more of it. The ease with which the bullets set back is, in my experience, both unusual and alarming. I have not had the same setback problem with the 9mm DPX I have in my night stand gun so I'll keep it. I don't think the problem is the bullet. I think, based on comparisons with the factory ammo from Speer and my reloads, the problem is the process at COR-BON and is related to the sizing of the brass before the bullet is seated or the design of the cartridge.
I did a quick and dirty comparison of the 230g Speer GD with the 160g DPX COR-BON in the next couple of pictures. The first picture shows a factory new 230g Speer GD cartridge with a 230g Speer GD bullet next to it.
Notice the arrow points to a crimp band around the brass that is right at where the base of the bullet is. The bare bullet is up against the caliper jaw so it effectively shows where the base of the bullet is in the brass. Over my time using the 230g Speer GD in my SIG C3 and the XDs, I've experienced no bullet set back. I still check for it, but none shows up.
The next picture shows the 160g COR-BON DPX I pulled the bullet from.
At 1.233" which is close to the longest one I have (1.237") you can see there is a noticeable gap between the base of the pulled bullet and the crimp band around the brass.
Before the crimp band can begin to stop the bullet setback it will have to slide back to approximately where it's shown in this next picture.
That's a slip of ~0.073" which will probably cause a pressure increase in the cartridge. It sets the bullet back so far there is a gap between the case mouth and the bullet ogive. It's enough that I don't like it.
I have 230g Speer GD ammo that's been in the Glock 30 for several cycles that is the same length now that it was on day one. I tried it in the XDs and the bullets didn't move when chambered. My reloads, taper crimped to 0.471", with the 230g and 185g GD don't move when chambered. I just tried the same cartridges in the XDs, C3, G30, and FNX45T and they are solid. The factory 230g GD and 185g GD are likewise solid.
I haven't tried any other factory .45ACP defensive ammo at this point, and probably won't because I have several boxes of the factory 230g GD. My XDs likes the 185g GD in my reloads so I'll probably look for some of that as ammo becomes available again. Meantime I'll load it with the 230g GD and put it in the carry safe in the closet. The practice ammo clearly isn't a problem because it gets chambered exactly once.
This is my experience with an admittedly limited sample, but it's enough for me to decide I don't want to use the 160g COR-BON DPX in my XDS. That's a shame because I think, properly assembled it might be the best ammo for the gun.
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety), by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. by H. L. Mencken

Looking to treat your sweetheart to a nice dinner out, but don't want to break the bank doing it or even worse, come off looking cheap? Like so many of us out there, finding a balance between upscale and bargain is a tough line to follow. Some of the most happening Los Angeles' eateries are either the most expensive or are down right hole-in-the-walls. Many chain restaurants offer that middle of the road pricing but lets face it, you live in L.A where chains are few and far between and creative culinary delights can be found on every corner, so why waste your dining experience on a place you can find all across the country?
This weekend I stumbled into the Barefoot Bar & Grill located at 8732 W. 3rd Street where I was pleasantly surprised by the decor, the service and of course, the food. Barefoot Bar & Grill has been open since 1993 and prides itself on being everything that is "So-Cal." It's modern decor works hand-in-hand with some of the more cozy attributes it offers like the wood burning fire place, small living-room style sitting area, as well as the red curtained window dressings around the indoor dining area. Like every So-Cal restaurant should, Barefoot Bar & Grill offers both indoor seating as well as a patio and the color choices are light and breezy, giving it that beachy So-Cal vibe.
We sat outside seeing as Saturday was a beautiful day to enjoy the breeze in our hair. Our waitress was charming and knew the menu well. She recommended some of her favorite selections and I took her advice and ordered the grilled artichoke as a starter and the crab quesadilla as my entrée. She knew what she was talking about as the quesadilla was unbelievable! If you like seafood, you'll love this meal! There is more than just seafood gracing the menu, so all of you non-fish-fans need not worry about finding something to enjoy on Barefoot Bar & Grill's menu. Burgers, salads, ribs, steaks and vegetarian options all have there place on the menu.
So lets talk pricing. Depending on what you select from this broad menu, entrées range anywhere from $9.95 to $23.95 per person, making Barefoot Bar & Grill a perfect place to have a date on a budget. My meal was priced at $9.95 and was tasty and filling, leaving my stomach content as well as my bank account. I didn't spend a fortune and yet I received the atmosphere and service of an upscale restaurant at the inexpensive price to fit my budget conscious wallet.
Barefoot Bar & Grill is open seven days a week, however their hours of operation vary. They are not open for breakfast, however they do offer both a Saturday & Sunday brunch starting at 10:00 AM until 3:00 PM. Every other day of the week, Barefoot Bar & Grill opens at 11:30 AM, ready to serve up the lunch menu. They are closed both Sunday & Monday evenings.

Deck inspections can be fairly simple, especially for decks that are brand new or recently refurbished.
But even a new deck should be checked at the beginning of the season to make sure that it's save to use.
Here's a few things to watch out for:
Check the wood. Split or decaying wood (it may feel spongy or break off without splintering; these are signs of rot) is a definite trouble spot.
Another trouble spot is if the wood has any holes (this could be a symptom of insect infestation).
Are the railings loose? Grab and shake them to make sure they're solidly in place, providing ample support (balusters are the short pillars or columns that run perpendicular to the railings and the deck's walking surface; these should also be checked).
Check the ledger board (the weight-bearing board that connects the deck to the house). As you're checking this, examine the flashing that surrounds it (flashing prevents the moisture buildup that causes rot). The main issue with the flashing is that mud and debris can become stuck between the flashing and the exterior wall of the home. Clear away any such debris; then seal the overlapping areas with caulk.
Over time, the gap between the ledger board and the house may widen; if this is the case, simply tighten the bolts.
Check the surface to make sure there's no mildew buildup (the elements can be rough on a deck); power-wash any areas where the mildew has started to accumulate. Once the deck has been power-washed, allow it to dry before applying any additional layers of finish.
Bear in mind that different deck materials may require certain types of cleaners (consult with the company who built your deck or a local home improvement specialist).
Inspect the support posts; they should be firmly connected to the beams below the deck floor.
Any loose connections between the support posts and the beams should be tightened.
Replace any bolts that need replacing.
Garage/Workshop DIY Safety
As more homeowners perform their own renovations and other home improvement projects, many are installing state-of-the-art workshops and transforming garages into DIY havens.
Here's a few safety tips when working in these areas:
Before working with any power tools, DIY "newbies" should read the owners' manuals and operating instructions thoroughly.
Some home improvement retailers may offer classes in tool usage and in various home improvement projects.
And also consult with home improvement professionals regarding proper tool usage (for example, do not use tools for purposes other that what the tool was intended to do).
Watch out for children and pets; make sure they're not in the workshop or garage unattended (keep items out of reach or locked up).
Be careful when wearing loose clothing (you can still be comfortable, but dress appropriately).
Wear safety gear for the eyes, ears and breathing; consider goggles, earphones and dust masks when working.
Feeling sick or fatigued? Taking medication? Never work with machinery; just one moment's distraction can cause an injury.
Never surprise anyone who's working with power tools and keep any unnecessary people out of the workshop or garage.
Don't have too many power cords laying around; if they're pulled, sharp or heavy objects can be dragged off of tables and workbenches. And they're easy to trip over!
Try to make the workshop/garage as comfortable as possible (preventing muscle strains or repetition injuries). Is the work table at the right height? Is a stool or chair available for sitting breaks? Are there rubber mats on the floor to reduce standing fatigue?

Nail art blogs like Miss Ladyfinger, Chalkboard Nails, and Polish Art Addiction are great time sinks. Unfortunately, they also make us feel like total eejits for barely even being able to do solid color paint jobs on our own digits without making a huge mess. We're thinking maybe we could manage this Ciaté Very Colourfoil Manicure ($19), though, since it's not supposed to look perfect. The kit includes nail color, foil glue, and thirty mirror foil sheets in a variety of colors, plus easy-to-follow instructions. Take THAT, super-coordinated nail artistes!

Clearly good nutrition is essential for the healthy development of kids. In fact a kids brain is growing so quickly it needs extra nutrition during childhood. Northwestern University reported on Aug. 25, 2014 that a long childhood feeds the hungry human brain.
Northwestern University anthropologists have found a five year old uses twice as much glucose, which is the energy that fuels the brain, as that of a full-grown adult. In fact a five year old's brain has been called an energy monster. A study of this fact has helped to solve the mystery of why human kids grow so slowly in comparison with our closest animal relatives.
It is likely that humans grow at a pace which is more typical of a reptile than a mammal during childhood because energy which is directed to the brain dominates the human body's metabolism early in life. Christopher Kuzawa, first author of the study, says the findings of this research have suggested that our bodies can't afford to grow faster during the toddler and childhood years due to the large quantity of resources required to fuel the developing human brain.
Kuzawa points out that as humans we have so much to learn, and that learning needs a very complex brain which is hungry
for energy. The findings of this study support the hypothesis in anthropology that kids grow so slowly, and are dependent for such a long time, because the human body needs to divert a significant fraction of its resources to the brain during childhood, therefore leaving little to be used for body growth.
It has been reported by PNAS that the metabolic costs of human brain development are thought to explain the evolution of humans' unusually slow and protracted growth during childhood. The researchers have concluded that the unusually high costs of development of the human brain require a compensatory slowing of body growth during childhood. Therefore, it is clearly vitally important to make certain kids eat well.

|A closed geodesic can be regarded as a critical point of the energy functional with positive energy. The closed geodesic problem is a traditional and important topic in dynamical systems and differential geometry. There is a longstanding conjecture that there exist infinitely many distinct closed geodesics on every compact Riemannian manifold. The current interest on this problem is on compact simply connected manifolds, specially spheres. In this talk, I shall give a survey on the study of this problem and explain how the Morse indices are applied to study the stability and multiplicity of closed geodesics on compact simply connected Riemannian (, or Finsler) manifolds.

Bruce Jenner and the Kardashians are through -- at least on television. On Feb. 13, the New York Daily News reported that Bruce Jenner will no longer be on "Keeping Up with the Kardashians." Apparently he's ready to leave all the fame behind -- he wants to just live in his Malibu house and stay out of the public eye... and really, can you blame the guy?
Sure there are rumors surrounding Bruce's well-being -- TMZ reported that Bruce has an "obsession" with plastic surgery and that he wants to be young forever hence his body changes. But since he and Kris Jenner decided to live separate lives, some think that Bruce has really gone off the deep end.
Bruce Jenner and the Kardashians have been very close and that's probably not going to change. Bruce has been like a father to Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, and Rob and his role in their lives will stay the same. He might not see them as much as he once did, but Bruce isn't going to just go into a hole and never come out. It sounds like he just wants a break from the media attention.
According to the report, Bruce really wants to focus on his relationships with his kids, especially his boys, Brandon, Brody, and Burt. Most people would agree that this is a good idea and that Bruce is choosing to do the right thing.
Bruce Jenner leaving the Kardashians' show isn't surprising at all, is it? Since the show is primarily about the women now (Rob, Lamar, Kanye, and Bruce rarely get air time), this seems like a natural progression. Will you miss Bruce on the show?
Update (via Us Weekly): Kris Jenner has denied these rumors... but she also denied that she and Bruce were separating so...

Prof Glendinning joined the School in 1998 and is a member of the Geotechnical Engineering and Structures Group
Prof Glendinning has an excellent track record in environmental geotechnics which is founded on a long history of engagement with industry and academic work in this field. She recognized that a step-change in understanding climate change impacts on transport infrastructure could be made only once controlled experimentation could be undertaken, proving cause and effect and providing long-term datasets. She led the EPSRC BIONICS project, which provided a unique embankment facility, and is helping to advance scientific understanding to enable more reliable prediction of future performance and targeted resource allocation.
Prof Glendinning has helped advance the science of electrokinetic geosynthetics (EKG), and in the development of commercial innovations for large volume waste reduction, soft soil consolidation and slope stabilisation. She is research Director of Electrokinetics Ltd.
Dr Glendinning is now pioneering the concept of the Living Laboratory, an initiative aimed at both creating local impacts from world-leading research and developing new first-class research through tackling local problems at life-scale. Its working philosophy is essentially to treat the city-region as a full-scale laboratory in which to develop and demonstrate research and its impact.

Tonight's episode of "Cake Boss" was titled "Biceps and Birthdays." As the episode begins, a family of arm wrestling champions visit the bakery and get to prove their prowess among the bakers. They need a cake for a special tournament. So Buddy decides he wants to have the two arms locked together that rise as the tournament goes on.
Mauro is at the bakery with his three kids; Mary, Buddy and Dominique. Madeline's birthday is coming this week, and he will make a cake, but he wants the three kids to make dinner. Madeline works five days a week in the bakery and takes care of the four of them and the house. So she truly deserves a great birthday. They decide to have the party at the bakery, because it means so much to her. So Mauro gets to work creating a special cake just for her.
The cake for Madeline's birthday was black and white; her favorite colors and Mauro made it to look like a gift box with a piece of jewelry inside. The kids were busy making the special dinner, now they just had to bring it from Lackawanna to the bakery in Hoboken. They pulled off the surprise like pros. Madeline was thrilled, and the kids were dressed in black as the servers. Mauro even made a trail of rose petals from the bakery to the room where they had their meal.
While the design team is creating the arm-wrestling cake, things are not going as planned. The turntable was not the proper size for the hole and tweaking was needed. Finally, the cake is completed, but questions arise. As the arm-wrestling cake was about to be delivered, Mauro asked Mauricio a question; was the lift screwed to the bottom board? When he answered in the negative, Mauro said that if anything went wrong; he wanted nothing to do with it.
As the arm-wrestling championship was going on, the delivery truck arrived. The cake was askew and Buddy had to think quickly to remedy the situation. Luckily, they could repair it so nobody knew. When they presented the cake and the arms lifted up, with lights and smoke, it was an awesome spectacle on this episode of "Cake Boss."

Are you a procrastinator? Do you often put things off until tomorrow?
I think we all are at times guilty, but there are some areas more than others.. some things that should not be put off. Especially in the area of Religion. Are you putting off a decision that you should be making today?
David Asscherick in this excerpt of a presentation entitles "why not tomorrow?" will convince you to do today what you might not be able to do tomorrow. That the decision you didn't make today might no longer be an option tomorrow. A must see for everybody. Especially those with a tendency to procrastinate.

As one researches the past, the subject of recipes and cooking always arises, no matter what the era. This examiner seems to often have a recipe cross her desk when looking at a particular time period. It's almost as if someone, somewhere, wants to provide a snippet of a moment in time. Today's recipe is from a chef that lived in the late 1800's: Thomas Allinson.
Dr. Allinson was a British physician and dietetic reformer in the 1880's. His theory of Hygienic Medicine involved the promotion of health through diet, exercise, fresh air, and bathing. A vegetarian diet, and the avoidance of alcohol, tobacco, coffee, and tea were primary components of the theory. He also believed in eating "whole grains", and that smoking caused cancer, which were very radical ideas for his time period.
This recipe is an excerpt from the cookbook The Allinson Vegetarian Cookery Book, by Thomas Allinson., written in 1915. It can be reviewed at Project Gutenburg.
Almond Rice
"1/2 lb. of rice, 2-1/2 pints of milk, 1 oz. of butter, 6 oz. of ground sweet almonds, sugar to taste, 1 teaspoonful of cinnamon, some raspberry jam. Cook the rice, butter, milk, sugar, and almonds until the rice is quite tender, which will take from 40 to 50 minutes; butter a mould, sift the cinnamon over it evenly, pour in the rice, let it get cold, turn out and serve with sauce made of raspberry jam and water. Dip the mould into hot water for 1/2 a minute, if the rice will not turn out easily."
"Sweet" almonds are also known as regular almonds, the type that can be purchased in the store. Just as a side note, almonds are considered a symbol of promise. In China, the almond is a symbol of both sorrow and beauty. Indian cultures believe that consuming a handful of almonds is good for the brain. Many physicians promote almonds as a nutritious snack. Almonds are rich in vitamin E, calcium, magnesium and potassium.

>Brookings Oregon News, Sports, & Weather | The Curry Coastal Pilot
More than 50 vendors, visitors and customers of the Saturday Farmers and Artisans Market at the Port of Brookings Harbor have signed a petition in support of keeping the event just the way it is.
The petition was drawn up by Mike Edwards, who heard that entertainment promoter Bruce Ellis wanted to start a new farmers market, calling the existing one dull and tired. Ellis, the producer of the Pirates of the Pacific Festival, submitted an application to the port last month requesting to form a farmers market of his own.
The issue will be discussed at the port's regular meeting in January, when all annual contracts are negotiated.
Vi and Len Burton, the managers of the popular event on the boardwalk, recently announced they were stepping down and handing the operations over to Tina and Dale Kirkpatrick of Brookings.
"People are a little concerned about the changes he might make," said Robin Clyde of Harbor, a vendor who makes centerpieces from driftwood. "I enjoy the pirate festival, but it's a whole different atmosphere.
"Personally, I'd rather have a quieter, friendlier event rather than entertainment. Entertainment is great for what it is, but it's not what the market is all about."
All vendors contacted said they were pleased the Kirkpatricks will be taking over the market.
"The vendors there highly respect Vi and Len's choice (of the Kirkpatricks)," said Judy Bowker, a Harbor photographer who sells her work at the market. "I'm grateful a vendor stepped forward to take over. I think they're very capable people."
She acknowledged that management changes can result in other changes, but she only sees such change as beneficial to the market under the Kirkpatricks' lead.
"I'm looking forward to next year," Bowker said. "It's been a very successful market."
John Marshall, a musician with Spectrum Sounds, said he signed the petition because he was concerned about the potential closing of both the farmers market and the Second Saturday Art Walk, which also is being rejuvenated with new leadership.
"I was a little perturbed by his (Ellis') attitude of knocking the existing farmers market, the music, things sounding dull, he could do a better job," he said. "I know the work that goes into it (the market). His comments upset me. … Come in and do a better job. … I don't know if you can or can't. I do know people in the farmers market deserve to continue."
Ellis said part of the reason he is pursuing the market idea – either taking it over or creating a new, separate one, he doesn't know – is because the market and festivals often conflict on busy weekends.
"If they listen to what I say, everyone will be in favor, everyone will be happy," he said. "I don't know what's going to happen."
"Bruce is a real go-getter," said Jane Turner, who ,with her husband, Ernie, make custom wood signs and fudge. "I don't want to say he wouldn't do a good job, but if the port took it over, they could raise the price and kind of blow us away."
She likes that the farmers market is low-key, clean, well-presented and of high quality.
"People love to come here," Turner said. "It's not a flea market. It's a good community thing. I think it has blessed the port."

It's time to take it up a notch. Until this point, the Torah has given us instructions on how to build a Temple. Now, we move to the next level. How do we elevate man inside the Temple? More important, how do we refine him when he leaves the Temple?
When G-d created the universe, he formed the planets above, the dust below, and everything in between. It was all absolutely perfect,. Then G-d threw a curve ball; wild, unpredictable, capable-of-anything-homo-sapiens. Even the angels did not think it was a good idea. Were they so wrong?
Can you imagine what our world would look like if man had not been given a speaking part? It would be exactly like it was on week one; picturesque, harmonious, a perfectly balanced Eco-system. Man is the X-factor, he changes everything.
One day he builds cities, the next day he destroys them. He is part angel and part beast. Why did G-d produce this paradox? Was He playing a game? 'Risk'? Maybe the 'human factor' is G-d's personal TV show?
Babies are adorable (most of the time), but they are unable to think about other people's needs and feelings. An infant who has every whim fulfilled is a spiritual zero
Our job, as adults, is to teach our young to work hard, be a mensch, be honest with themselves and others, self-reliant, when faced with tough choices do the right thing, and know that all their talents are a gift from G-d to be used wisely and in His service.
For 20-25 years or so, we do our best. But we know that for the first quarter-of-a-century of their young lives, it's all practice, a dry run if you will. All our lessons and theory are finally put to to the test when they get married. That is why this week's Biblical reading which deals with the holiness or the fall of man starts off with the idea of marriage and having children.
We all have various animal instincts and natures; selfishness, anger, procrastination, jealousy, etc. We must drag these habits to the altar and slaughter them. But how? Get married. Forget about building a castle and becoming it's king; create a living Temple and become its priest.
Paying dues at a synagogue is easy. Making your life a prayer, your home a spiritual haven, your Shabbat table filled with guests an altar...is the reason why the angels were wrong. True, the world would look perfect, but it would not achieve anything. We are G-d's biggest risk, His greatest worry, His most profound joy.

Scott Horton (via hilzoy):
Senate Republicans are now privately threatening to derail the confirmation of key Obama administration nominees for top legal positions by linking the votes to suppressing critical torture memos from the Bush era. A reliable Justice Department source advises me that Senate Republicans are planning to "go nuclear" over the nominations of Dawn Johnsen as chief of the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) in the Department of Justice and Yale Law School Dean Harold Koh as State Department legal counsel if the torture documents are made public. The source says these threats are the principal reason for the Obama administration's abrupt pull back last week from a commitment to release some of the documents. A Republican Senate source confirms the strategy. It now appears that Republicans are seeking an Obama commitment to safeguard the Bush administration's darkest secrets in exchange for letting these nominations go forward. [...]
The Justice Department source confirms to me that Brennan has consistently opposed making public the torture memos—and any other details about the operations of the extraordinary renditions program— but this source suggests that concern about the G.O.P.'s roadblock in the confirmation process is the principle reason that the memos were not released. Republican senators have expressed strong reservations about their promised exposure, expressing alarm that a critique of the memos by Justice's ethics office (Office of Professional Responsibility) will also be released. "There was no 'direct' threat," said the source, "but the message was communicated clearly—if the OLC and OPR memoranda are released to the public, there will be war." This is understood as a threat to filibuster the nominations of Johnsen and Koh. Not only are they among the most prominent academic critics of the torture memoranda, but are also viewed as the strongest advocates for release of the torture memos on Obama's legal policy team.
You want a war? FIne. We'll give you war. If those memos aren't released, and/or Dawn Johnsen is not confirmed as head of the OLC, JTB will "go nuclear." I say this a lot, but I really mean it this time: I will not rest if this stands. This is a landmark issue for me, and I will scream from the rooftops if I have to.
And damn it, I shouldn't have to do this. The Senate Democrats need to grow a pair and stand up to this garbage. The GOP lost in 2008. They lost real bad. They shouldn't have unilateral authority to blackmail the President into not doing something within his prerogative as Chief Executive. The want to filibuster? FIne. Let's have a damn filibuster. I want to see 24/7 debate on the Senae floor, cots and all. I want CNN to constantly broadcast for hours on end that the Republican Party supports secret legal opinions, and furthermore, is willing to hold up the entire schedule of the Senate to preserve said memos. You can even squeeze that on a bumper sticker:
GOP ♥ Secret Legal Opinions
GOP ♥ Torture
If the GOP wants war, we'll give it to them.Read More

Wireless sensor network (WSN) is characterized by dense node deployment, unreliable sensor, frequent topology change, and severe power, computation, and memory constraints. These unique characteristics pose considerable challenges on the design of large-scale WSN. The problems in different scenarios require different analytical models as well as algorithms to achieve optimal performance. This special issue provides some researches to resolve the issues in sensor networks such as traditional wireless sensor network, delay tolerant mobile sensor network, and vehicular sensor network.
The paper "A cluster-based consensus algorithm in a wireless sensor network" proposes an average connectivity degree cluster (ACDC) scheme gossip algorithm to improve the convergence speed and the accuracy of the consensus. A utility function is developed based on two parameters, iteration and relative error, to help the network designers make an optimal decision based on their requirements. An irregular sensor model which is based on the degree of irregular (DOI) radius is also introduced to evaluate the robustness of the algorithm.
The paper "nonparametric bootstrap-based multihop localization algorithm for large-scale wireless sensor networks in complex environments" presents a nonparametric bootstrap multihop localization algorithm for large-scale wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in complex environments. Authors integrate the interval analysis method with bootstrap approach for ordinary nodes localization. To reduce the computational complexity, boxes approach is utilized to approximate the irregular intersections.
The paper "An energy distribution and optimization algorithm in wireless sensor networks for maritime search and rescue" proposes a new method of maritime search and rescue based on wireless sensor networks. An energy dynamic distribution and optimization (EDDO) algorithm is presented to solve the problems of dynamic adaptability and life cycle limitation at sea.
The paper "A hybrid energy- and time-driven cluster head rotation strategy for distributed wireless sensor networks" proposes a hybrid cluster head rotation strategy which combines the advantages of both energy-driven and time-driven cluster head rotation strategies. In the hybrid rotation strategy, the time-driven strategy or energy-driven strategy will be selected according to the residual energy.
The paper "An efficient data evacuation strategy for sensor networks in postdisaster applications" introduces data evacuation (DE), an original idea that takes advantage of the survival time of the WSN, that is, the gap from the time when the disaster hits and the time when the WSN is paralyzed, to transmit critical data to sensor nodes in the safe zone in order to preserve "the last snapshot" of the whole network.
The paper "Study on routing protocols for delay tolerant mobile networks" gives a tutorial to routing protocols for delay tolerant mobile networks and investigates the state-of-the-art routing protocols for DTMNs. Some research issues are also discussed.
The paper "Power control in distributed wireless sensor networks based on noncooperative game theory" presents a game theoretic method to adaptively maintain the energy efficiency in distributed wireless sensor networks. The utility function was formulated under a proposed noncooperative framework, and then the existence of Nash Equilibrium (NE) has been proved to guarantee system stability. To pursue NE, an NPC algorithm was proposed to regulate heterogeneous nodes with various communication demands given the definition of urgency level.
The paper "IPARK: location-aware-based intelligent parking guidance over infrastructureless VANETs" taps into the unused resources offered by parked vehicles to perform parking guidance. In IPARK, the cluster formed by parked vehicles generates the parking lot map automatically, monitors the occupancy status of each parking space in real time, and provides assistance for vehicles searching for parking spaces.
The paper "You take care of the drive, i take care of the rule: a traffic-rule awareness system using vehicular sensors and mobile phones" proposes a novel traffic-rule awareness system using vehicular sensors and mobile phones. It translates traffic rules into combinations of vehicular sensors, GPS device, and Geography Information System (GIS); the system can tell whether a driver violates the traffic rules and can help him to amend his driving behavior immediately.
The paper "Do not stuck at corners: a data delivery algorithm at corners in vehicular sensor networks" proposes a data delivery algorithm called distribution-based data delivery to handle the corner problem with the help of some vehicular sensors like accelerometer, in which the big amounts of data are stuck at corners or crossroads and are transmitted back and forth with very few data packets being delivered.
The paper "Distributed intrusion detection of byzantine attacks in wireless networks with random linear network coding" develops a distributed algorithm to effectively detect, locate, and isolate the Byzantine attackers in a wireless ad hoc network with random linear network coding (RLNC).
The paper "Public-transportation-assisted data delivery scheme in vehicular delay tolerant networks" presents a destination-gathering-based driving path prediction method for taxis, which can make taxis' driving paths prescient in the initial stage of carrying passengers every time. Then a novel public-transportation-assisted data delivery (PTDD) scheme is proposed to improve the performance of data delivery of Vehicular Delay Tolerant Networks (VDTNs).
The paper "Ant-based transmission range assignment scheme for energy hole problem in wireless sensor networks" investigates the problem of uneven energy consumption in large-scale many-to-one sensor networks (modeled as concentric coronas) with constant data reporting. In view of the effectiveness of ant colony algorithms in solving combinatorial optimization problems, an ant-based heuristic algorithm (ASTRL) is proposed to address the optimal transmission range assignment for the goal of achieving life maximization of sensor networks.
The paper "Application-oriented fault detection and recovery algorithm for wireless sensor and actor networks" proposes an application-oriented fault detection and recovery (AFDR) algorithm, a novel distributed algorithm to reestablish connectivity. AFDR algorithm identifies critical actors and designates backups for them. A backup actor detects the critical node failure and initiates a recovery process via moving to the optimal position.

Background on the Gospel Reading
On the first Sunday of Lent, the Gospel reading in each Lectionary cycle is about Jesus' temptation in the desert. This event in the life of Jesus is reported in each of the Synoptic Gospels—Matthew, Mark, and Luke—but it is not found in John's Gospel. This year we read Mark's account of this event.
Compared to the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, the details throughout Mark's narrative are sparse. This is evident in Mark's account of Jesus' temptation in the desert. Mark tells us only that Jesus was led into the desert by the Spirit and that for 40 days he was tempted by Satan. The Gospels of Matthew and Luke explain that Jesus fasted while in the desert, that Satan presented him with three temptations, and that Jesus refused each one, quoting Scripture. Only the Gospels of Matthew and Mark report that angels ministered to Jesus at the end of his time in the desert.
In each of the Synoptic Gospels, the temptation of Jesus follows his baptism by John the Baptist. In Mark's Gospel, we are told that Jesus went into the desert immediately after his baptism, led by the Spirit. Jesus' public ministry in Galilee begins after his temptation in the desert. Mark's Gospel makes a connection between the arrest of John the Baptist and the beginning of Jesus' ministry. Jesus' preaching about the Kingdom of God is in continuity with the preaching of John the Baptist, but it is also something new. As Jesus announces it, the Kingdom of God is beginning; the time of the fulfillment of God's promises is here.
The fact that Jesus spent 40 days in the desert is significant. This recalls the 40 years that the Israelites wandered in the desert after being led from slavery in Egypt. The prophet Elijah also journeyed in the desert for 40days and nights, making his way to Horeb, the mountain of God, where he was also attended to by an angel of the Lord. Remembering the significance of these events, we also set aside 40 days for the season of Lent.
In Mark's Gospel, the desert marks beginning of Jesus' battle with Satan; the ultimate test will be in Jesus' final hours on the cross. In a similar way, our Lenten observances are only a beginning, a preparation for and a reinforcement of our ongoing struggle to resist the temptations we face in our lives. During Lent, we are led by the Holy Spirit to remember the vows of Baptism in which we promised to reject sin and to follow Jesus. Just as Jesus was ministered to by the angels, God also supports us in our struggle against sin and temptation. We succeed because Jesus conquered sin once and for all in his saving death on the cross.

A Yacolt man on trial for attempted murder said Wednesday he hatched a plan last year to kill himself in the presence of his ex-girlfriend — but it went awry.
As Jessica Fix slept, Michael T. Boswell said he lay down on an L-shaped couch near her and placed a revolver to his head. Fresh from a breakup with her, Boswell said he wanted to watch her as he died.
"I just wanted the last thing before my lights went out to be her," Boswell testified to a Clark County jury.
Instead, when he pulled the trigger, he said his shoulder popped out of the socket and the gun moved forward, discharging a bullet at Fix instead.
The 30-year-old man took the stand Wednesday afternoon as the defense's only witness in the trial before Clark County Superior Court Judge Dan Stahnke. The prosecution had two rebuttal witnesses; closing arguments are expected this morning.
Boswell, calm and matter-of-fact, was on the stand for about two hours. He first described how he was suicidal when Fix broke up with him. He said he started thinking up ways to kill himself just before the shooting on Nov. 14, 2011.
The day leading up to the event, he said, he tried poisoning himself by mixing high levels of Tylenol PM and muscle relaxers into his tea. He used two mixing cups and said the drugs inexplicably slipped into a glass of peppermint tea intended for Fix. She had the tea when she arrived home from work early on Nov. 14.
Later, after she became violently ill, she fell asleep on the couch.
Boswell said he decided to fetch a decorative .22-caliber revolver on the wall at the house. "I couldn't think of anything else that would work," he said. "I didn't want to make a mistake."
He said that's when he lay down, opposite Fix on the L-shaped couch. "I was just looking at her," he said.
But when he pulled the trigger, the bullet discharged across the room.
"When I collapsed, my hand fell forward," he said.
Fix woke up and asked Boswell what happened. He told her he was trying to kill himself and shot her.
"In my mind, it was a complete and total accident. She knew it was an accident," he said. "In my mind, I hadn't committed a crime."
Boswell said Fix was upset he had tried to commit suicide in her parents' house, where they lived. He said she told him that, if he really wanted to kill himself, she'd take him to the woods later and he could do it there.
After cleaning herself up, Fix, who had sustained a skull fracture, drove herself from the Yacolt house to the Battle Ground Fred Meyer store. From there, her friends drove her to the hospital.
During cross-examination, Deputy Prosecutor Jeannie Bryant attempted to discredit Boswell's account. For instance, Boswell is right-handed, but said he fired the gun with his left hand. He also said he wasn't immediately sure he shot her.
"So your testimony is that you sat there for five to 10 minutes before you realized you shot her in the head?," Bryant asked. Boswell said yes.
Bryant also pointed out that Boswell never attempted to call 911 or call Fix's parents.
The deputy prosecutor portrayed Boswell as heartbroken over the breakup.
"Do you consider her your soulmate?," she asked.
"Honestly, yes I do," he responded.

Book synopsis
AIDS, Sexuality, and the Black Church: Making the Wounded Whole is a revealing account of AIDS activism within Black churches in New York City. AIDS has taken a devastating toll on the Black community. Blacks make up approximately 13% of the total United States population, but almost half of all those infected with HIV in the U.S. are Black. Previous research has claimed that these high rates are due, in large part, to the lack of an immediate response by Black Church leaders and officials when AIDS first began to strike Blacks in the early 1980s. The Black Church can play a major role in providing AIDS education to its parishioners and community. However, feeling uncomfortable with addressing sexuality and homosexuality, many Black churches have simply avoided addressing AIDS believing that such conversations were inappropriate for church. As a result, The Balm in Gilead was formed in 1992 to encourage AIDS awareness among Black religious institutions. The Balm in Gilead is now the largest organization to work exclusively with the Black Church to promote AIDS education and awareness.
In AIDS, Sexuality, and the Black Church, Angelique Harris examines the formation of the Black Church AIDS movement and the organizational development of The Balm in Gilead. This research begins from the perspective that the Black Church is working to address AIDS, and details how this work is being done. Harris couches her findings within social movement theory, the sociology of health and illness, social marketing, and the social construction of knowledge. This text provides a unique lens through which to examine AIDS discourse within the Black community. AIDS, Sexuality, and the Black Church is essential reading for AIDS scholars, researchers, and community activists alike.
About the author(s)/editor(s)
The Author: Angelique Harris is Assistant Professor of Sociology at California State University, Fullerton.
«This fine book, a thoughtful study of the response of the Black Church to the AIDS epidemic, is of value for students of the sociology of religion, of race, and of health. But perhaps it is most valuable as an exploration in the construction of a social problem, and as an offer of hope for the enlightened, caring development of solutions.» (Barbara Katz Rothman, Professor of Sociology, City University of New York, Past President, Society for the Study of Social Problems)
«This is an important book about AIDS in Black communities that details the significant role that Black churches and community-based organizations have played in responding to this crisis, especially in Black communities. Harris's discussion of The Balm in Gilead is especially instructive for all those interested in how one community-based organization helped to gener-ate a movement in response to HIV and AIDS in Black communities. In the pages of this text we learn how some members of 'the Black Church' were mobilized to use their power to confront the epidemic of HIV and AIDS. This book is a necessary and important read for all those concerned with the fight against AIDS, especially as it continues to take hold in Black communities.» (Cathy J. Cohen, David and Mary Winton Green Professor of Political Science, University of Chicago; Author of 'Boundaries of Blackness: AIDS and the Breakdown of Black Politics')

Sidney Bechet: Perdido Street Blues
Perdido Street Blues
Sidney Bechet (clarinet, soprano sax)
Really The Blues (Living Era)
Sidney Bechet (clarinet, soprano sax), Louis Armstrong (trumpet),
Claude Jones (trombone), Luis Russell (piano), Bernard Addison (guitar), Wellman Braud (bass), Zutty Singleton (drums).
Composed by Lil Hardin & Louis Armstrong.
Recorded: New York, May 27, 1940
Rating: 95/100 (learn more)
This track is from the notable 1940 recording reunion of Louis Armstrong and Sidney Bechet. Some critics called the results "disappointing," but to my ears this track, at least, is terrific.
Bechet opens with a brilliant riff on clarinet, soaring at the start and adding a superbly crafted line, only to step downward with bluesy, slurred and bent notes to rich, low-register tones. Armstrong follows with equal brilliance, flowing through inventive lead lines with that inimitable trumpet tone and blues feel, punching out well-placed accents, and creating a beautifully structured solo. After adding subtle counterpoint behind Satch for a couple of bars, Sidney jumps in wailing with a further sparkling lead line on soprano sax. These two masters are already spurring each other to musical heights.
The fine pianist Luis Russell's mellow interlude follows, guitarist Bernard Addison adds atmosphere, and trombonist Claude Jones restates the theme before the storm. To set the final scene, Armstrong gives us three majestically punched-out climbing notes, then a smooth thematic variation at medium volume, as the band backs him with a rumbling, rolling repeated figure carried on from their earlier work. Satchmo cuts loose with a beaut of a line, building intensity, climbing to a series of high notes with blues slurs for a penultimate climax. He ends on a mid-range note, from which Sidney takes off for one last rollicking, soaring phrase to end it in compelling fashion.
This is "disappointing"?! Some critics needed their hearing aids checked.

It used to be more difficult to telecommute and to find all the needed resources to work from home. As telecommuting has become more common, the barriers to the telecommuting lifestyle have diminished. There are more and more services that have become telecommuter-friendly. There are more and more options that have opened up for telecommuters. Due to the available resources and options, the situations can accommodate more complex solutions utilizing telecommuters and telecommuter-friendly companies.
The idea of telecommuting is not a new one and it is not going away any time soon. This past January, Forbes predicted that "Telecommuting Is The Future of Work." In March, the New York Times confirmed that telecommuting is on the rise.
Some of the benefits are obvious, like working in one's pajamas or comfortable jogging outfit. Other benefits include flexible hours and transportation cost savings (for the telecommuter and the company hiring them). There are also other benefits that are increasing as this practice becomes more and more popular with the companies who are implementing this strategy.
The employees, considered full-time employees, have the same benefits as non-telecommuters, but the companies benefit by saving on transportation cost and other costs associated with in-house employees. Schedules benefit, as meetings are no longer dependent on the timing of transportation (especially if it involves the Los Angeles 405 freeway!).
Where to Live Becomes an Open-Ended Option
No longer does one have to telecommute from only one location. With affordable luxury accommodations available in major metropolitan locations, there are hybrid options for the telecommuting. Whether it is luxury apartments in Los Angeles or luxury apartments in New York or anywhere in between, a telecommuter can be in the vicinity of one office on one coast and telecommute to the other coast. This option opens up the concept of having an office on each coast and even providing a luxury apartment option for executives and clients while still connecting to the other offices. This new concept of "global" mixes the old world brick-and-mortar with the new world of virtual connection, allowing the company to provide what the client (or executive) is looking for, no matter what their tastes.
For the telecommuter who only dreamed of having two homes, the reality can be made true, allowing them to have the lifestyle of their dreams and still earn a full-time income.
No longer is telecommuting just for the data entry type jobs. The top level executives are doing more and more telecommuting. With the use of shared office space and virtual offices, this becomes a great way to make a dream into a reality in a start-up venture capital endeavor.
Available Resources and Services
One of the resources that is needed, no matter what region, is internet access. According to Huffington Post, there are some free or inexpensive internet services available for the home. Another option that is becoming quite popular is to work from a coffee shop. With Google Wi-Fi coming in last year in select Starbucks locations, the quality of sound has increased, allowing impromptu Skype conversations while enjoying the favorite cup of java.
For those who are so busy working that they do not have time to shop, there is an option, for a select few, to get their office supplies delivered, same day, from Amazon. According to this Re/code article, there is some hint that groceries may be next, with the Amazon warehouses in New Jersey. Even if same day is not available, office supplies can often be delivered within the week, without ever having to leave the home office.
Telecommuting Can Be For Anyone
This telecommuting trend is clearly picking up speed for the telecommuter and the companies. Just this past month, US News ran an article for the companies, on how to hire really good telecommuters.
As this trend continues, more and more companies, like those mentioned in this article, are becoming telecommuter-aware and offering services, locations, and accommodations that help to benefit the telecommuter. So, whether these companies are providing a way to get online and converse, or a way to kick back and be comfortable while you work, the trend is here, and its here to stay… and grow.

It will be fall of 2014 before we actually get to the premiere of season 7 of "Sons of Anarchy. That hasn't stopped the spoiler rumors from flying. On Jan. 20, The Epoch Times posted a roundup of those spoilers so read on at your own risk.
Kurt Sutter, the show's creator said he knew from early on that Tara would die before the series came to its conclusion. At one point, he considered it in season 2. He went to say that the combined loss of Tara and Opie is going to have a serious impact on Jax.
"I knew, ultimately, where I wanted to take Jax in [the] final season… I wanted to remove his 'True North,' because I feel like there needs to be this major psychic and emotional shift that has to happen," Sutter said. "What direction it will push him in we will see next season. But what happens to a guy like that now that he's lost both of the people he loves the most, who were able to be his moral compass, with Opie and now Tara. It really is Jax completely untethered and on his own in the final season."
Using Twitter, Sutter also explained that Unser has no idea what happened and won't be able to clue Jax in. He also shared that Peter Fonda will be returning for season 7.
With regard to the dynamic between Juice and Gemma in the wake of Tara's death and Juice's actions, Sutter said:
"Knowing that he's betrayed Jax is not necessarily a place that you want to be in in the outlaw community… I don't think it was a calculated move on Juice's part [to save Gemma]; in the moment he did what was expected of him," Sutter said. But now the great thing is that we get this rich dynamic between the two of them. They were tied with the whole Clay of it all and now they're deeply tied with this secret… Now we have really something fun to play with."
When the new season begins, it will pick up where it left off. Sutter wants to use the severity of what happened to drive the show forward. If any time has lapsed at all, it will only be a few weeks.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Wendy Case (Drea de Matteo) will be a lot more active on screen. De Matteo has been made a series regular.

Siddharth Basrur is a very talented vocalist, but a careless and mean driver, as proved by his new music video.
Siddharth Basrur's solo album Chasing Rain, due for release this February, now has a video up to accompany one of the tracks. 'Stay' is a romantic ballad, very much in the vein of the rest of the songs from Chasing Rain. Basrur is a vocalist of prodigious talent, having fronted three different bands with very different sounds – Bones For Bertie, Kinky Ski Munky, and Goddess Gagged. Watch him talk about his solo project to NH7, here, and read a review of his first outing here.
The video for 'Stay' features a girl who is supremely disinterested in her surroundings. While other people may object to strange men air-drumming on their pot while they brush, this video's protagonist is just too punk to care. She goes about her day looking thoroughly sullen.
Eventually she steps into her car, driven by Basrur himself (the Stan Lee of music videos). During her ride, Basrur almost runs over a man, but Punk Girl doesn't react because she is distracted by her inner turmoil/has no concept of the value of human life. Ayan De comes begging to her window, but Basrur shoves him away rudely, which might have been the last literal and metaphorical push that finally sent him over the edge and caused him to turn into The Saddest Boy.
Punk Girl arrives at a gathering of friends, but none of them are hipster enough for her so she sits and sulks. A few boys try to hit on her, but she walks away in a manner that some might say is mysterious, but what others might dub 'snotty'.
Suddenly, she sees something from the balcony that makes her face light up. Considering her terrible behaviour throughout the video, one assumes its a pile-up or a mugging that has finally elicited all this emotion from her, but turns out, its only Arman Menzies, Goddess Gagged's guitarist. She smiles and sits on a swing with him, and the video ends with the implication that he is the only person who makes her happy, because, dreads.
We spoke to Siddharth Basrur who explained the video and its concept to us
With this video we just experimented with what we could do. We had no budget, literally zero money. A friend of mine, Ashlesha, and I were talking about what we could do and we just came up with this. In the video, the guy is asking her to stay, and throughout the song she's basically thinking about it all day. So that's what the video is. I don't know how many people got it. Even before the video, people wouldn't get what the song was about. But as long as the song made people smile and gave them some entertainment, all's good.
Watch the video for 'Stay' below, and stream more of his solo material from his Soundcloud.
