A 2-year-old Campbell boy will once again be his mischievous, active self after suffering a stroke caused by an abnormal connection between arteries and veins in the brain.
Jailum McIsaac has gone from death's door to being completely cured.
"It's honestly unbelievable and he's come such a long way," his mother Monica Sidhu said. "He's such a little fighter."
Sidhu and her husband Elliott McIsaac and their two young sons moved to Campbell about six weeks before they became aware of Jailum's condition. McIsaac, who grew up in San Rafael, now works at a wearable sensor technology startup in Los Gatos. Sidhu, originally from Vancouver, Canada, had planned to frequently travel back and forth between Vancouver and Campbell.
"Then this happened," she said.
Nov. 24 was a day like any other day, Sidhu said. Jailum played soccer at the park with his dad and fell asleep in the car on the way home. McIsaac put Jailum to bed, and after letting him nap awhile, Sidhu went to check on her son. She found him relaxing in his bed, rubbing his blankie between his hands.
Not long after, Sidhu heard Jailum screaming and crying from his bedroom. Sidhu rushed to Jailum's room, expecting to find he had fallen off his bed. Instead, he was curled in a ball with his face in his pillow. She scooped him up and offered him milk, which he refused. She offered to put on his favorite movie, Cars, but he continued to cry.
"At this point, I still didn't know anything was wrong," she said. "He's 2 years old and he has a tendency to throw tantrums."
Sidhu asked him if he had an "owie" and Jailum said yes. Through his tears, he pointed to the back of his head.
McIsaac knew something was wrong when Jailum's head started lolling to one side. He called 911 while Sidhu laid him out on the floor.
"It didn't feel like he was breathing. It didn't feel like anything," she said.
Paramedics arrived, stabilized Jailum and rushed him to Santa Clara Valley Medical Center. There, a pediatric neurosurgeon did a CT scan and found that Jailum either had a tumor that was bleeding or an arteriovenous malformation. Sidhu gave the surgeon permission to drain the fluid in Jailum's head to relieve the pressure on his brain.
From there, Jailum was flown via helicopter to Lucile Packard Children's Hospital.
"That was pretty surreal," Sidhu said. "I was thinking, 'Is he going to make it to the helicopter? Is he going to make it through the ride? Every moment, was literally, 'Please make it.'"
At the children's hospital a team of 20 to 30 people led by neurosurgeon Dr. Michael Edwards worked to save Jailum. Sidhu remembers one of the team members kneeling next to her, telling her that based on the images, things weren't looking good for her son, who at that point was in an induced coma.
The malformation was located in the most critical area of the brain, Edwards said, near the cerebellum and bran stem that controls one's breathing, heart rate and neurologic functions.
But Jailum pulled through, and Sidhu believes it was the efficient and timely care that saved his life.
"We're just so blessed that we were at the right spot at the right time with the right help," she said.
That night the team was able to control the bleeding in Jailum's head. The blood clot was left in his brain for about 10 or 11 days to give it a chance to liquefy somewhat before the team was able to remove it, she said.
Jailum remained in the intensive care unit until Christmas Eve. He was then transferred to the Santa Clara rehabilitation facility, where he did pediatric rehab for about a month. At that point, Jailum's vocal cord was sluggish; he couldn't speak and had to be fed through a tube in his stomach. The first week was "awful," Sidhu said, as Jailum went through withdrawal from the medication.
But since then, his recovery has been remarkable, she said. He's able to eat food again and his vocal cord is nearly recovered. He also slowly regained the ability to move the left side of his body. He can walk short distances alone with braces on his legs or if someone is holding his hand.
Sidhu explained that the stroke occurred in Jailum's right cerebellum, which controls the left side of this body.
"I have no doubt he's going to be running again. He's just so driven," she said.
Even though Jailum made an amazing recovery in recent months, the arteriovenous malformation was still in his brain: "We were living with the worry that he could bleed at any time. That is the most stressful way to live ever," Sidhu said.
The doctors waited to remove the malformation until Jailum was strong and stable again.
While treatment other than removal might have been considered for other patients, removal was the only good option for Jailum, Edwards said.
"In this little infant, the risk of re-bleeding was pretty high," he said.
During the nine-hour surgery, Edwards and his team isolated and coagulated the critical vessels getting to the malformation.
"If we took other vessels, it could have left him with a stroke or he might not have survived the operation," Edwards said, adding that the operation was more complex because of Jailum's tiny size.
"The outcome was great," he said, explaining that the AVM was completely removed.
"It was a risky surgery, but in the end, probably saved his life," Sidhu said.
Sidhu describes Jailum as strong-willed, mischievous and "the happiest kid ever." He had always been coordinated, and his teachers at daycare and preschool would comment on how active he was.
Sidhu has multiple videos on her phone of Jailum running in the grass outside, doing somersaults, dancing and playfully tackling his older brother.
She also has videos of him struggling to lift his head during his first month of physical therapy. The video is in stark contrast with a more recent video of him riding a tricycle, which shows how well he has recovered.
"He didn't even know how to pedal before the bleed," she said.
Sidhu is thankful for Jailum's personality, which she believes is helping him to bounce back.
"He's very strong and strong-willed. I think in this situation, that's what's getting him through this."
Edwards said arteriovenous malformations aren't particularly rare. He sees about 10 cases in children per year. However, Jailum's case was unique because his hemorrhage was particularly severe, and it looks as though he will be able to make a full recovery.
"Someone with [an AVM] in the back of the brain that comes in not breathing, not moving, showing almost no signs of life and being able to recover back to normal is very unusual," Edwards said.
Forty percent of children who suffer bleeding from an arteriovenous malformation die before they make it to the hospital, he said.
Sidhu is grateful that her family didn't go on a camping trip that fateful weekend, as they had planned.
"Things just work out for a reason," she said. "You can't explain it. Everything just kind of lined up the way it was supposed to for him."
Jailum, who had the surgery to remove the malformation on April 11, could have gone home by April 17 but stayed at Lucile Packard a few extra days because of nausea. Once he was able to regain his balance and keep down his food, he returned home.
"We're so happy to be where we are," Sidhu said. "He's come a long way."

My husband and I bought a puppy from a pet shop last summer. Our little Morkie is 9 months old and weighs in at 8 1/2 pounds. We are so happy with our new baby and we followed every piece of instruction given to us from the pet shop and our veterinarian. He is truly a "pampered pet."
My husband was attacked by a pit bull dog while walking our puppy. My husband did not go to the hospital, but did have a single bite and large scratch on his arm. Since it was February, he was wearing a heavy winter coat. Our only concern was to see if the offending dog had rabies vaccines and to have the dog contained.
I made several calls to find who to contact to report to and, finally, the state police referred me to the Monroe/Carbon County dog warden. A family member of mine did warn me to make sure I have my dog up to date on everything, especially the dog license. My understanding was the microchip is the license, but after a bit of research, it appeared the microchip is only part of the process. I went online and purchased a dog license prior to talking to the warden.
The incident was reported and several weeks later, I received a citation for not having a dog license on the date my husband was attacked.
I did plead not guilty, but it did not matter of my ignorance, as I was still cited for not having a current license on the date of the attack. Furthermore, the dog warden wanted to fine me the full $300 for not having the dog licensed in 2012.
The analogy used during my "court appearance" was that if you are involved in a traffic accident (no matter who is at fault), you still need to have a valid license or you can be fined.
In my opinion, if you cannot pull off a car lot without having the car totally legal, how can you leave a pet store without having the dog legal? In Pennsylvania, any dog 3 months and older needs to have a license (that is, a 12-week old puppy). I have a small fortune wrapped up in my pet, I am a law-abiding citizen and I was not trying to skirt around the $8 fee to have my dog licensed.
I went through all my paperwork on my puppy and nowhere does it tell me anything regarding dog licenses. But I can tell you that I paid $59 for a microchip.
All pet stores and/or kennels should be required to have the license before leaving the shop. With computer technology, there is no reason this cannot be done before releasing any dog.

In anticipation of another early and severe flu season, health officials are urging people to get their vaccinations soon.
Historically, flu vaccinations have been popular in October or November, said Marietta City Health Department public health nurse Jonni Tucker.
"They used to say that the immunity from the shot would only last six months so people waited until before the severe season," said Tucker.

JASMINE ROGERS The Marietta Times
Marietta resident Kristy Miller, 11, gets a round of vaccinations, including her flu shot, from public health nurse Jonni Tucker at the Marietta City Health Department during a Tuesday vaccination clinic.
However, newer studies have shown the influenza vaccinations remain effective for a year, meaning an early flu shot is preferable, she added.
"Get a shot as soon as its available so you're covered at the beginning of flu season too," advised Tucker.
Last year's flu season caught many people off guard, starting approximately four weeks earlier than normal and resulting in the most senior citizen influenza hospitalizations since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) began keeping those records during the 2005-2006 season.
Fact Box
Facts about the flu
Officials are urging individuals to get flu vaccinations soon in anticipation of another early influenza season.
Last year's flu season started approximately four weeks early and resulted in higher flu-related hospitalizations and deaths than normal.
A quadrivalent influenza vaccination, which offers protection against four strains of the flu, will be available for the first time this year.
Most of the 135 million to 139 million influenza vaccinations produced this year will be comprised of the typical three-strain protection.
The Marietta City Health Department offers vaccinations for children and adults on Mondays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and for adults on Tuesdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The Washington County Health Department offers the vaccination from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
For information contact the Marietta City Health Department at 373-0611 or the Washington County Health Department at 374-2782.

Deaths attributed to pneumonia or influenza were also atypically high last year-the highest in nearly a decade, according to the CDC.
With that in mind, some residents are seeking early protection.
"I got the flu shot in October last year," said Marietta resident Lisa Miller.
Lisa and daughter Kristy Miller, 11, were getting their shots during a vaccination clinic at the Marietta City Health Department Tuesday.
Though none of the Millers caught the flu last year, Lisa Miller said she thought it was prudent to get the vaccination a bit earlier this year.
Judy Hile, 67, of Marietta, and her sister had the same idea.
"We usually come in October or November, but we heard on the news it would be more prevalent this year. That's why we're here early," said Hile, who was one of more than 50 people to take advantage of the Tuesday clinic.
The Washington County Health Department also has several vaccination clinics coming up around the county, including their annual drive-thru vaccination clinic, said Barb Piehowicz, director of nursing for the Washington County Health Department.
"We had talked about not offering the drive-thru clinic this year, but we've had so many calls about it that we're going to have it," she said.
The clinic will be offered at the county health department, at 342 Muskingum Drive, Oct. 14 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
People ages 18 and older can drive up and receive a vaccination while they are in their car, said Piehowicz.
In a further effort to combat a severe season, manufacturers are for the first time ever offering a vaccination that protects against four strains of the flu, instead of the three-strain vaccination that has always been available, said Tucker.
The new quadrivalent vaccine will not be as widely available as the common trivalent vaccine. According to the CDC, just over 20 percent of the 135 to 139 million doses of influenza vaccine produced this year will contain protection against the fourth strain of the virus.
The Marietta City Health Department offers vaccinations for children and adults on Mondays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and for adults on Tuesdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Washington County Health Department offers the vaccination from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Hail to the European Commission President
Jose Manuel Barroso once taught at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., and the European Commission president's mastery of the American form of politics is evident. Giving his first European "State of the Union" address on Tuesday morning, he referred to the parliament as "this house", a designation common in the U.S. but rare in Europe.
The 40-minute SOTU remake at the European Parliament had some other similarities. Mr. Barroso told a personal story, that of Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, the Iranian woman sentenced to be stoned for adultery. He went for some rhetorical flourishes. "We either swim together or sink separately." "This is Europe's moment of truth." "We should be under no illusions. Our work is not finished."
As far as substance, Mr. Barroso said that Europe was recovering from the recession. Economic growth would be higher than the 1% forecast, he said. He promised that Europe would do a better job of policing stock market truants. "We will tackle credit default swaps," he said. "The days of betting on somebody else's house burning down are over."
All in all, it was a valiant effort. (Full speech here.) Unfortunately, the speech was overshadowed by an issue involving those watching it. There was so much fear that attendance would be embarrassingly low – only "a few dozen" our of 736 MEPs were expected to show up – that party leaders decided to dock MEPs playing hooky a portion of their daily €298 daily allowance.
The decision so angered MEPs that a rules committee then unanimously voted to scrap the idea. In his introduction of Mr. Barroso, Jerzy Buzek, the parliament's president, had to address the issue. "Attendance checks will not be applied," he said as if addressing schoolchildren, before highlighting the importance of the speech. "It's a step on the road to parliamentary Europe."
And the actual attendance on Tuesday morning? Real-Time Brussels guessed around 100 as the speech got underway. There were plenty of people milling around, however. At one point, says a parliament spokeswoman, there were 600 MEPs in the house.

AirAsia X Rises in Malaysia Debut
AirAsia Xposted meager gains on its debut after the budget long-haul airline raised 987.5 million Malaysian ringgit ($310.5 million) from the largest initial public offering in Malaysia so far this year.
The stock opened at MYR1.26 Wednesday on Bursa Malaysia, 0.8% above its IPO price of MYR1.25. The shares were trading at MYR1.27 as of 0120 GMT, valuing the company at MYR3 billion after more than 73 million shares changed hands. The benchmark index FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI was up 0.2%.
AirAsia X's relatively successful IPO comes as at a time when several companies in the region have withdrawn deals–in June alone, four companies in Hong Kong either dropped IPO plans or cut their IPO sizes. The company priced shares of its IPO near the lower-end of the indicative price range of between MYR1.15 and MYR1.45 a share with the institutional portion of the share sale oversubscribed five times at top end of the indicative price range.
"Looks like we priced it right," Azran Osman-Rani, chief executive of AirAsia X, said at a news conference following the listing.
Demand for the IPO underscored investors' confidence in the low-cost airline founded by Malaysian airline tycoon Tony Fernandes, and its ability to weather the slowdown in the global economy. Analysts say AirAsia X's business model, with fares priced up to 50% cheaper than full-service carriers, will allow the airline to fill up its planes more easily in the current sluggish global economy.

The Fermi paradox: where are all the aliens?
In recent decades our understanding of life has advanced rapidly. Scientists now know that life can exist under a much wider range of conditions than were previously thought possible, and are discovering life in the most extreme parts of the earth: in rocks a kilometer under the ground, in the antarctic ice, in the boiling water of underwater geothermal vents, etc.
Meanwhile, astronomers have discovered many planets oribiting other stars, enough to realise that planets are commonplace in our galaxy. As the ability to detect planets outside our solar system improves, we are discovering more and more of the smaller earth-like planets.
As a result, most scientists now think that life is unlikely to be unique to planet Earth; and that the universe may be teeming with life. This raises the question: if there are so many aliens, how come we haven't seen any evidence of them? If life is widespread throughout the universe, how come those civilizations that arose before us haven't contacted us or visited us? This is known as the Fermi paradox.
The Drake equation tries to put this into numbers. It starts with the rate of star formation and assigns probabilities to:
- the likelihood of each star having planets that can support life,
- the likelihood of intelligent life developing on each of those planets, and
- the chance that those civilizations will develop a technology that allows them to become known to us
The numbers plugged into the Drake equation are necessarily speculative. Under the most pessimistic assumptions, humans may be the only intelligent life in the observable universe. Under other assumptions, the universe may support very large numbers of intelligent civilizations. So why haven't they visited us, or at least beamed us a signal? Many theories have been proposed, for example:
- Inter-stellar
travel is difficult, and may be impossible. The other civilizations may simply live too far away.
- The aliens may not have discovered radio communication.
- They may have no urge to explore.
- They may be deliberately hiding, perhaps out of fear of other civilizations.
- They may be so different from us that we don't recognize their communications (for example, if their timescales are a thousand times faster or slower than our own).
- Perhaps other forms of life have prospered without needing to evolve intelligence or develop technology.
But there's one other factor in the Drake equation: after a civilization becomes intelligent and technologically-capable, how long does it last? If the average civilization only lasts a few hundred years before it self-destructs, the chance of these other civilizations being around at the same time as us becomes vanishingly small.
It's hard to guess what the lifespan of a civilization is likely to be. Maybe all civilizations soon blow themselves up, or inflict disease upon themselves, or irrevocably damage the ecosystem of their planet.
Alternatively, the civilizations might endure, but become undetectable to us. After the aliens become technologically capable, their energy use must skyrocket. One speculation is that they then build a spherical shell around their sun to capture all of its energy. Such a shell, called a Dyson sphere, would make them extremely hard to detect.
What I think is more likely is that, soon after becoming technologically-capable, the extra-terrestrials tend to eschew the physical world for a virtual reality. Brains in jars on a shelf, perhaps, hooked up to a totally immersive, totally addictive experience that they find more satisfying than their previous life with a physical body. We seem to be seeing early signs of that already on planet earth.
One suggestion is that the aliens are out there, but they have placed us in a limited environment—a sort of wildlife refuge. Or perhaps we are in captivity, like a goldfish held in a bowl from which it has no chance of seeing any of the other goldfish in the world.
Or maybe the explanation is much simpler than that. Maybe we really are alone.

Conrad Wolfram
|It has been suggested that Computer-Based Math be merged into this article. (Discuss) Proposed since September 2015.
|Conrad Wolfram
Conrad Wolfram in transmediale 10 talking about Wolfram Alpha.
|10 June 1970
|United Kingdom
|Alma mater
|Cambridge University
|Strategic and international director, Wolfram Research
Conrad Wolfram (born 10 June 1970) is a British technologist and businessman known for his work in information technology and its application.
Wolfram's father Hugo was a textile manufacturer and novelist (Into a Neutral Country) and his mother Sybil was a professor of philosophy at the University of Oxford. He is the younger brother of Stephen Wolfram.
Born in Oxford, England, in 1970, Wolfram was educated at Dragon School, Eton College and Pembroke College, Cambridge,[1] from which he holds an MA degree in Natural Sciences and Mathematics. He learned to program on a BBC Micro.[2]
Mathematics education reform[edit]
Wolfram has been a prominent proponent of 'Computer-Based Math'- a reform of mathematics education to make greater use of information technology. [3][4] and is the founder of www.computerbasedmath.org.[5][6]
The UK's Channel 4 News quotes him saying "There are a few cases where it is important to do calculations by hand, but these are small fractions of cases. The rest of the time you should assume that students should use a computer just like everyone does in the real world.".[7] In an interview with the Guardian he described the replacement of hand calculation by computer use as "democratising expertise".[8]
In 2009, he spoke about education reform at the TEDx Conference at the EU Parliament.[9][10] and again at TED Global 2010 where he argued that "Maths should be more practical and more conceptual, but less mechanical,"[11] and that "Calculating is the machinery of math – a means to an end."
He serves on the Computer science committee Advisory Board at King's College London.[12]
Conrad Wolfram is also part of Flooved advisory Board.
In 2012, The Observer placed him at number 11 in its list of Britain's 50 New Radicals.[13][14]
In August 2012, he was a member of the judging panel at the Festival of Code, the culmination of Young Rewired State 2012.[15]
Conrad Wolfram founded Wolfram Research Europe Ltd.[16] in 1991 and remains its managing director.[17] In 1996, he additionally became Strategic and International Director[18] of Wolfram Research, Inc., making him also responsible for Wolfram Research Asia Ltd, and communications such as the wolfram.com website.
Wolfram Research was founded by his brother[19] Stephen Wolfram, the maker of Mathematica software and the Wolfram Alpha knowledge engine.[20]
Conrad Wolfram has led the effort to move the use of Mathematica from pure computation system to development and deployment engine,[21][22] instigating technology such as the Mathematica Player family and web Mathematica and by pushing greater automation within the system.[23]
He has also led the focus on interactive publishing technology[24] with the stated aim of "making new applications as everyday as new documents"[25] claiming that "If a picture is worth a thousand words, an interactive document is worth a thousand pictures."[26] These technologies converged to form the Computable Document Format[27] which Wolfram says can "transfer knowledge in a much higher-bandwidth way".[28]

Nissan NV200 Wins New York Taxi Contract
The battle to become New York's official taxi cab is over, and the Nissan NV200, a small van model not currently available in the U.S., is the winner. The Nissan beat out the TransitConnect van from longtime taxi king Ford Motor Co. and a stylish model from Turkish upstart Karsan Otomotiv.
The Nissan, which is expected to be on the road here by late 2013, could be a shock to longtime taxi riders who are more accustomed to the large Crown Victoria sedans that Ford built for decades.
However the Ford is no longer in production and the New York taxi fleet has become so diverse in recent years that the new van may wind up attracting little attention. The current crop of cabs includes more than a dozen models of sedans, vans, SUVs and even small hybrids.
Under the taxi deal Nissan will supply the cabs for 10 years, but they won't take over right away because existing taxis continue to operate until they wear out.
Nissan says the NV200, which is a basic commercial van in other global markets, will be tailored for use as a taxi. It has a 2-liter four-cylinder engine and is also designed to accommodate electric power trains. It has sliding doors, room for four people and their luggage and can be fitted with features like a "low-annoyance" horn with exterior lights that indicate when the vehicle is honking, a transparent roof panel, and independently controlled rear air conditioning with a filter to improve cabin air quality. It also comes with standard driver's navigation system.
"Nissan is proud to provide the next generation of taxis for the City of New York," said Nissan Americas chairman Carlos Tavares. "The NV200 taxi will give Nissan the opportunity to showcase our dedication to vehicle quality and urban mobility to more than 600,000 passengers every day."
Nissan says it will build the NV200 taxi at its Cuernavaca, Mexico assembly plant. The manufacturer's suggested retail price will be around $29,000, Nissan says. The company says it will also provide up to six of its Leaf electric cars to taxi owners as part of a test in New York for zero-emissions taxis.

Has anyone encountered the same behavior ?
When I enter an apppointment in the Calendar of my Tungsten T5 (ex:
Lunch with Bob at 12h at Jim's restaurant) and then Hotsync with my
desk computer using Outlook 2000, the event appears in Outlook
calendar the same way as a request for meeting with the 2 head icon.
In Outlook, if I double-click on that entry, the windows that opens up
includes a line To: to be filled out (as an invitation to a meeting to
be sent to someone)
All appointments comming from the palm appears the same way. Is there
a setting somewhere (Tungsten and/or Conduit) I have missed ?
My previous Palm m505 dit not behave that way. An appointment was an
appointment in the Palm and in Outlook!

The 'Table for One' Interview: Dan Aykroyd
Dan Aykroyd takes vodka seriously.
Yes, the funnyman of "Saturday Night Live," "Blues Brothers" and "Ghostbusters" fame is known for his ability to skewer noteworthy names (remember his impersonations of Julia Child and Richard Nixon?) and for his oddball sense of physical comedy (it takes a certain type to have danced onstage with John Belushi). But these days, the 60-year-old Aykroyd is playing it straight – at least in a business sense. That is, he's gone into the liquor biz, creating and promoting his Crystal Head vodka, which comes packaged in a bottle that resembles one of those crystal skulls of mystical legend. Since its introduction in 2009, the premium brand – it sells for about $50 in its standard size — has gone from being a novelty to an established behind-the-bar presence, with more than three million bottles sold.
Not that Aykroyd has given up on acting. He had a part in this past summer's Will Ferrell political spoof, "The Campaign." He just finished shooting an HBO bio-pic about Liberace – he tackles the role of the piano legend's manager. And now that it seems his "Ghostbusters" co-star Bill Murray has agreed to be part of the long-awaited third installment of the cinematic franchise, he could be getting to work on that as well.
Speakeasy caught up with Aykroyd at Cigar Aficionado's annual Big Smoke event in New York – he was there to promote Crystal Head and smoke a few stogies — to hear his thoughts on food, drink, ghosts and more.
On why he started Crystal Head: Aykroyd's interest in the booze biz came about when he couldn't find his favorite tequila brand – Patron – in his native Canada. So he decided to import it himself – and being in the tequila business led him to being in the vodka business. He founded Crystal Head with an idea of blending his interests in spirits in every sense of the word – the alcohol one, but also the paranormal one. But he also saw the vodka brand as a solid financial venture, even if it entailed a degree of risk upfront. "I borrowed some capital from my daughters' college funds, but I've paid them back," Aykroyd says. (He has three children – yes, all girls – and his oldest graduated from Harvard earlier this year.)
On what makes his vodka so special: Given the unique design of the brand's bottle, Aykroyd says he was not going to settle for filling it with a second-rate vodka: "It's a premium luxury product. We would not put a polluted product into that bottle." But the defining difference between Crystal Head and other vodkas is more about what's not in the product, Aykroyd explains – meaning no additives that might enhance the flavor, aroma or viscosity. "Lesser vodkas smell like Chanel No. 5. I love Chanel No. 5. It's a beautiful fragrance. But not in my alcohol," says Aykroyd. Beyond that, he points to the Newfoundland water and Canadian-grown corn used in Crystal Head as being what gives the vodka a tell-tale subtle sweetness that has earned the spirit praise from critics and in competition.
On his breakfast routine: Aykroyd describes his morning meal in two ways – the kind of breakfast he has, and the kind of breakfast he'd like to have. "Let me tell you want I'm eating now: oatmeal, almond milk, raisins, walnuts and a sprinkling of cane sugar," he says. And what would he like to eat? Aykroyd launches into a list of favorites: bacon, eggs, sausage, hash browns, grits, huevos rancheros, scones, maybe a beer ("a cold Canadian Labatt 50," he specifies) or a Bloody Mary (made with Crystal Head vodka, of course). "That's the way we eat in Canada," says Aykroyd.
On his moment of Oscar semi-glory: While Aykroyd has hardly followed the path of Bill Murray in doing larger, dramatic roles, he's had his moments – most notably, his Oscar-nominated turn as a successful Southern Jewish businessman in "Driving Miss Daisy" (1989). He expresses no regrets about not winning the statue, but still finds it odd that "Driving" director Bruce Beresford didn't even earn a nomination for a film that went on to grab Best Picture honors. "What was the Academy thinking? That the picture directed itself?" Aykroyd asks.
On the weirdest thing he drinks: Vinegar. Not even cider vinegar, but plain ol' white vinegar. Aykroyd says he loves "the puckering all the way down and all the way through." Plus, "it's one of the best things for the heart and everything else."
On his involvement with the House of Blues: Aykroyd helped found the chain of clubs with such fellow blues-loving celebs as Jim Belushi and Paul Shaffer. Now, the chain is owned by music-biz giant Live Nation, but Aykroyd is still involved. It's "going through a whole revivification…it's one of the hippest brands in the (Live Nation) portfolio," says Aykroyd, adding that he plans on visiting all 13 of the chain's clubs "in a little while." (Aykroyd also does a nationally syndicated BluesMobile Radio Hour program.)
On his plan to get "Ghostbusters 3" made: The sequel has gone through different scripts, but Aykroyd likes the current one being developed by Etan Coen ("Men in Black 3"). "We have a brilliant young writer," Aykroyd says. And he argues that the picture has blockbuster potential that Sony, the studio behind it, hasn't truly begun to appreciate. "I think it would be a perennial revenue stream," Aykroyd adds. But the bottom line is that the long-awaited "Ghosbusters" still remains long-awaited. "I will work with anyone" to get it finished, Aykroyd vows.
On his favorite late-night sip: Sure, Aykroyd likes his Crystal Head. But he's also partial to Patron, the other brand in his portfolio. And late in the evening, he's especially partial to Patron XO Café, a coffee liqueur made with tequila. "I love it because you get two buzzes going. You get the tequila buzz and you get the coffee buzz," Aykroyd says. "It keeps the party going all night long."

By the pricking of our thumbs, something wicked this way comes.
Halloween approaches and there is no better way to celebrate the spookiest of all holidays than with a scary movie, the cornerstone of any ghoulishly good time.
Now, you really don't need anyone to tell you that "The Exorcist," "Psycho" and "The Shining" are classics of the horror oeuvre. Heck, you're probably the kind of fear aficionado who knows your "Pan's Labyrinth" from your "Poltergeist," your "Silence of the Lambs" from your "Suspiria." And if you're anything like us (read: die-hard gore hounds) you have already sniffed out all the new contenders, from "Insidious 2" to the "Carrie" remake.
But you might not know that "Let the Right One In," "High Tension" and "Black Christmas" are some of the most memorable movies in the horror movie genre.
That's why we've come up with this list of 13 essential if lesser-known films in the canon. These are under-the-radar gems that will give even the staunchest viewer goose bumps. Some are a little campy, others arty, but they are all unforgettable in their own gasp-inducing way. Call it a connoisseur's guide to the creeps. Here are 13 horror movies you need to know.
"Let the Right One In" (2008): Gorgeously shot and beautifully acted, this metaphysical Swedish vampire movie will have you tearing up when you're not terrified. Little Oskar (Kare Hedebrant) is so pale he's almost as white as the snow in his frigid Stockholm suburb. He's an outcast at school, bullied by the other boys, so at first his new friend. a little girl named Eli (Lina Leandersson) seems like his only salvation. But as the bodies start piling up, this witty revenge tragedy gets into ever darker territory, including a twist that it may take more than one viewing to appreciate.

The New Cult Canon presents Starship Troopers!
by Dave Jennings Monday, June 6th, 2011 4:28pm
On Wednesday, June 15th at 7:30pm, the AV Club and Music Box Theatre present Starship Troopers, the 1997 sci-fi alien war film from Paul Verhoeven, director of Total Recall and Showgirls. Nominated for both an Oscar and MTV Movie Award, the film bombed on its initial release, earning little more than half its 100 million dollar budget, but has since amassed a cult following and gained a reputation as a high octane satire on the state of modern warfare.
The cast includes future Bond Girl Denise Richards, this year's Tony Awards host Neil Patrick Harris, Jake "Son of Gary" Busey, Golden Girl Rue McClanahan, and Casper Van Dien, who would later reprise his role of Johnny Rico in Starship Troopers 3: Marauder.
A.V. Club critic Scott Tobias, author of the New Cult Canon column, will introduce the film and lead a discussion afterwards.
To purchase advance tickets, CLICK HERE
Fun Facts:
-Director Paul Verhoeven admits to never finishing the novel on which the film is based, claiming he read through the first few chapters and became both bored and depressed.
-A miniature Millenium Falcon can be seen on the backside of one of the starships' bridges.
-More ammunition was used in this film than in any previous movie.
-Nearly every military uniform has WW2 German military and SS paramilitary uniform references.

Dr. Gosnell's abortion clinic evil
May 6, 2013
You can have reasonable confidence that if you visit Philadelphia and eat at a restaurant, you won't get sick because your meal was tainted with bacteria....
sassey, The death penalty is to quick. He should be tied to an anthill!

Generally, I do not believe in the death penalty. However, if I did, this so called doctor would be first in line. Of course I don't believe in abortion at all, a life is a life at any stage, and should be allowed to exist. For those of us who believe, God gives to us blessings, and the devil takes them away when bad judgement is used. This Gosnell person is evil and seems to be the devil's right hand.

Brachytherapy has been proven as a highly effective prostate cancer treatment. This outpatient procedure, which is usually finished in about an hour, uses radiation in the form of tiny "seeds" that are carefully injected via a needle-stick into the prostate, near the tumor. There is no cutting or suturing, and patients may return to 100% physical function within 48 hours. The seeds slowly release radiation to kill the cancer cells, with minimal damage to surrounding healthy tissue. About the size of a grain of rice, the seeds emit radiation over several weeks or months, getting weaker over time. Because the seeds' radioactivity fades, patients don't need to undergo a separate procedure to remove them.
A new video details the brachytherapy experience through the patient's perspective.

Can a Real Girl Get Jennifer Aniston's Yoga Body?
Before you sign up for those spendy yoga classes or personal training sessions, look at what the famous "Friend's" at-home yoga workout did for our writer
The first thing I see is Mandy standing with the ocean behind her in a private backyard and I can't help but wonder, could it be Aniston's Malibu beach pad? Let me tell you, there are worse places to work out.
I follow Mandy's advice to begin with her express workout, which is 35 minutes long. (The cool part is I can either do it with Mandy's verbal cues or opt for music instead). She also offers a fully loaded challenge that has additional stretches and sun salutations, but I figure I should start slowly.
I'll tell ya one thing, Mandy is mellow. The way she laughs while asking me to do calf raises almost makes me forget that she's my instructor and not a friend. Wait, aren't instructors supposed to be super scary and intense? Maybe I'm just traumatized from a past experience at Bally's Total Fitness that went something like this:
Instructor: So are you ready to sign up for sessions that will change your life?
Me: Um, I think so?
Instructor: (yelling) You think so? I don't ever want to hear those words out of your mouth again! I sense your hesitation. Don't be afraid of a better body!
And yes, that story ends with me hightailing it to my car, never to return. Unlike that encounter, Mandy's demeanor has the opposite effect: I want to work out with her. But what is an actual session going to be like?
SEE NEXT PAGE: I have a great ass ...

Very inspirational! Yogalosophy is fascinating and I want to try it. I know that exercise can become addictive; I was working out every day last year. I hurt my foot and had to quit and really noticed a sense of lethargy and a "need" to move again.

Had teh kids here last night at it would appear that, despite (or maybe because of)mum staying in bed 'til lunchtime (so they had to go to breakfast and lunch on their own!!!!) they did have a lovely holiday and want to go back again next year. They each had a moan of one kind or another, all aimed at mum!!! but on the whole, yes they did have a good time
Went to club tonight in spite of my stomach playing up this afternoon. They're a great bunch I should have been doing Silverstone half on Sunday but I am going up with them anyway to man one of the baggage stores Think I will need umpteen layers of clothing lol!

I recently read a terrific feature on the .net magazine (April edition) which included 15 different sections, each explaining how to do more for less in different areas of Web Design (such as testing, seo tools, coding tools, feedback). One of the sections covered online resources for outsourcing and considering how popular this has become, I found this section particularly useful. I'll be sharing the websites mentioned – I strongly recommend you grab yourself a copy (or a monthly subscription if possible) of the .net magazine – it's a brilliant resource for any web designer.
Why outsource?
Outsourcing is not only extremely useful, but a financially viable solution for any web designer who has lots of work but too little time. The amount of talent out there is unbelievable and whatever help you need, you are almost guaranteed to find somebody who can complete your job to a satisfactory level.
Unfortunately, outsourcing can also be slightly unethical – The guys doing the work often end up earning much less than they really deserve simply because they need the money. Whether you choose to persue this option is entirely up to you – it can definitely save you a lot of time (and money) if you don't have the resources to do the work yourself.

When interest calls for a new campus organization, student organizers must meet with the Director of Student Development to discuss the goals and objectives of the new group. Student leaders who are members of more than one campus organization may not hold more than one executive board position. This applies to organizations that are in formation, as well as those that have been approved. 2. Obtain the signatures of at least 15 full-time students who are in good academic and disciplinary standing. All students must have a 2.0 cumulative grade point average, but no student may be on academic and/or disciplinary probation or suspension, regardless of the cumulative grade point average. These students must be willing to join the proposed organization if it is approved. 3. Follow the policy for the selection of a member of the full-time faculty, staff or administration who would be willing to serve as moderator, and submit his/her name to the Director of Student Development for appointment. 4. Submit a copy of the proposed constitution to the SGA Constitutional Committee who will work in conjunction with the organizers to form a final edition of the proposed constitution. For Greek Organizations, the proposed Constitution must first be submitted to the Greek Council for approval prior to being submitted to the SGA. 5. Submit a copy of the final constitution to the Vice Provost for Student Life. If the Vice Provost fails to approve the application, an appeal may be forwarded to the President of the College for a final resolution. Student leaders will retain the right to inform the Committee on Student Life of the Board of Trustees through the student representative to that committee if they feel the Board should hear any issues. 6. Submit a copy of the final edition of the proposed constitution to the chairperson of the SGA Constitutional Committee. The chairperson will suggest approval of the new constitution to the SGA, and if it is approved, the organization will serve a probationary period of six academic months to determine if the organization is fulfilling its objectives. 7. After final approval by the SGA, four copies of the organization's constitution and club roster must be made. One of each will remain on file with the SGA, with the president of the new campus organization, with the moderator, and with the Office of Student Development. 8. After an organization is approved, all members must remain in good academic and disciplinary standing in order to maintain active status. A student who has been placed on academic and/or disciplinary probation or suspension, regardless of the grade point average, may not participate in any activities or hold office. Inactive members or people who are not enrolled as students, may not participate in activities unless they are open to the public. 9. All students and student groups must obtain the approval of the Director of Student Development in writing to conduct any fund raising projects. If the project has a publicity component, all of the particulars must comply with the publicity procedures outlined in this handbook. No fund raising project may involve the possession, sale, or distribution of alcoholic beverages. 10. Organizations must complete the following requirements/duties to remain in good standing: Annually update the roster and leadership card. Attend the Fall and Spring Leadership workshops. Send a representative to the general membership meetings of the SGA. Complete one community service project per semester. Sponsor one campus event per semester. In addition, All Greek/Social Fellowship organizations must: Send a representative to the general membership meetings of the Greek Council. Follow the Pledging Policy as outlined in this Handbook. Send the president of the organization and the coordinator of pledging (membership) to a pledging workshop each semester. Campus Organization Moderator: The Director of Student Development appoints a moderator for each campus organization at the request of the student members. The moderator is an integral part of every campus organization and volunteers to work with student groups because he/she wants to make a unique contribution in addition to regular professional duties. The moderator should be a full-time member of the faculty, administration, or staff. An organization should approach a member of the staff who is duly qualified and ask him/her to be its moderator. After a member of the faculty, administration or staff has accepted, a written request should be submitted to the Director of Student Development asking him/her to appoint said individual as moderator of the campus organization. If a new or existing cocurricular organization needs a moderator, it is strongly recommended that the members of the group consider a full-time faculty member and meet beforehand with the appropriate academic chairperson. This will create an opportunity to discuss the qualifications of the prospective moderator. However, the final choice for the nomination shall rest with the membership of the campus organization. Organizations are required to arrange that their moderator be present whenever the organization conducts an election of officers or has a function where alcoholic beverages are served. A member of the Student Development staff may substitute for the moderator at the request of the student organization. Failure to do so could result in disciplinary action against the organization and/or individuals that are members of it. The moderator's primary responsibility is to advise and to serve as a resource person. By suggestions, comments, and constructive proposals, he/she can assist the organization in achieving its objectives. Specifically, the moderator's responsibilities to the organization are: to be familiar with the policies of the College and the SGA and with the constitutions of the SGA and the moderator's organization; to assist the officers and members in becoming acquainted with these policies; to encourage and assist the organization as it plans an active program of activities; to be available to sign checks, administrative forms, and space reservation forms; and to assist with the creation of an annual budget. If a student organization is guilty of violating the College Code of Conduct, the pledging policies of the Greek Council if applicable, or any other College policies, it is the responsibility of the moderator to inform the Director of Student Development or the Vice Provost for Student Life. The responsibilities of the campus organization to its moderator are that the moderator should be recognized as an integral part of the group and officers must keep him/her fully informed of the programming activities. This includes: supplying monthly reviews of the organization's treasury and/or checking accounts; notifying the moderator of the place and time of each meeting and all other activities and events; asking the moderator for his/her advice when concerns arise in the organization; and scheduling monthly conferences with the moderator to discuss the affairs of the organization.

The Canterbury Tales: General Prologue & Frame Story
by Geoffrey Chaucer
The Canterbury Tales: General Prologue & Frame Story Society and Class Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Line). We used the line numbering found on Librarius's online edition.
Quote #13
[The Miller] swoor, "By armes, and by blood and bones,
I kan a noble tale for the nones,
With which I wol now quite the Knyghtes tale."
(Miller's Prologue 17 – 19)
By demanding that he be the one to tell the next tale, the Miller not only upsets the proper social order the Host has indicated he plans to follow, he also sets himself up in direct competition with the Knight. It would have probably seemed a little ludicrous to a medieval person that a Miller would think he could compete with a knight, even if only in tale-telling, but that's all part of the fun.
Quote #14
The Millere is a cherl; ye knowe wel this.
So was the Reve eek and othere mo,
And harlotrie they tolden bothe two.
(Miller's Prologue 74 – 76)
It's in keeping with the "all brawn and no brains" stereotype of lower-class people ("cherles") that Chaucer suggests that the Miller and the Reeve would be incapable of telling a classy tale. Instead, they rely upon "harlotrie" – more low-brow humor – to enter the competition.

Rich, buttery fruit, subtle spice and judicious oak tones form the olfactory attack of the barrel-fermented 1998 Murphy-Goode Chardonnay. The cooler than normal, shy-bearing 1998 harvest produced wines of fine, fruit intensity; and certainly this Murphy-Goode is no exception to the rule. Tropical fruit and a melange of long citrus flavors fill the mouth. Heightened by barrel fermentation and a five month stay in oak barrels, the Murphy-Goode Chardonnay is about as close to textbook California Chardonnay as one can get. Serve chilled and enjoy it over the next year.
Scallops, shrimp and fresh pasta in an artfully crafted cream sauce provide a memorable meal to the extroverted 1998 Murphy-Goode Chardonnay. Grilled chicken breasts marinated in olive oil, garlic and Provencal herbs makes another fine impression. Be assured that you can serve this lovely Chardonnay with any light to medium flavored dish and enjoy it, so as you like it.
Undoubtedly, Murphy-Goode's assembly of partners, family members and winemaking acumen, headed by the very talented Christian Benz, magnificently figure in this winery's success. Whether it be the incomparable quality of this estate's grapes or the intelligent, minimal interventionalist philosophy of Tim Murphy and Dale Goode, this wonderful Sonoma County Estate seems to have the Midas touch. The brain child of two old-time Sonoma County grape growers and friends, Dale Goode and Tim Murphy, Murphy-Goode winery turns out a wide variety of rich, flavorful wines that are marketed by the highly talented Dave Ready and his winery associates. Murphy-Goode draws grapes from three estate owned vineyards in Alexander Valley, as well as select, neighboring sites that are closely monitored by Tim Murphy. Presently, the winery produces a host of award-winning wines: Chardonnay, Fume Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Blanc, Gewurztraminer, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Zinfandel. To its credit, and to the benefit of consumers and the environment, Murphy-Goode practices environmentally sound farming techniques, which account for much of the up front, natural appeal of its wines.

The highest level of competition for basketball is played in the National Basketball Association. The NBA traces its origins back to 1949 when teams came together from two predecessor leagues – National Basketball League (NBL) and the Basketball Association of America (BAA) – to form a single professional league. 17 teams were members of the NBA during its debut season in 1949. Some teams merged with others and a few others folded over the next several seasons. The league quickly stabilized and grew in popularity as top collegiate and professional players signed contracts with various NBA teams. The league expanded to include other franchises in subsequent decades.
Currently 30 teams belong to the NBA which are divided into the Eastern Conference and Western Conference. Each conference is comprised of 15 teams. Teams are typically comprised of pro players drafted from U.S. colleges and international teams. The NBAhas many superstars but Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain are two legendary players. Chamberlain set many scoring and rebounding records that still stand in the NBA. Russell played a huge role in helping the Boston Celtics become the league's most dominant team in that era when he led the Celtics to nine NBA titles in a 10 season span from 1958-59 to 1968-69.
Magic Johnson and Larry Bird helped the league gain increased popularity in the 1980s as their teams – the Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers – routinely met in the NBA finals to decide the league champion. Michael Jordan emerged as the NBA's greatest player in the 1990s when he led the Chicago Bulls to six NBA titles in the decade and dominated with scoring and playmaking abilities. Many great NBA players are enshrined in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame located in Springfield, Massachusetts. The Basketball hall of fame honors players, coaches, teams and contributors at all levels of the game of basketball and is named for the inventor of basketball, James Naismith. Currently, 305 individuals and eight teams are enshrined as members of the basketball hall of fame.
Fans can purchase NBA game tickets by going to official team websites or online ticket sellers. Prices vary by team and venue. Tickets prices increase based on seating proximity to the court. Tickets for playoff games are also typically higher priced than for regular season games.

Photos by Steven Meisel
From self-promoted sexy phenomenon of the web to new icon of the masters of the lens. Supermodel Kate Upton is getting ready for a turning point. Dreaming about James Bond.
Something is happening in the life of Kate Upton. The supermodel who became famous for a video on YouTube, is only twenty years old. Yet, already nominated Body of the Year 2012 and crowned by The New York Times as the "best Internet phenomenon" that was self-promoted, she seems to have reached a turning point in her career of calendar-type pin-up.
The webcam deactivated – after also a video by Terry Richardson, iconoclast of fashion photography, with a weakness for bad girls like Kate Moss or Lindsay Lohan, Kate is aiming at entering the objective of masters of the click who are certainly more refined.
Each one of which is giving a different iconic approach. Steven Meisel wanted her for the fashion story in this issue as a sophisticated mistress squeezed into latex: a tribute to the highly erotic urban style of Helmut Newton from the Eighties.
(Lucia Corna, Vogue Italia, November 2012, n. 747, p.184)
Body talks. Sensuality is not only a question of silhouette: it is written in one's way of being, the way one move, the way one expresses oneself. And Kate Upton, with her strong and explosive femininity, Helmut Newton-style, is for sure an emblem of it. Fundamental for this look is the make-up: that perfects the complexion with Phyto-Teint Éclat, soft beige, brightening foundation cream, and that highlights the lips with Phyto-Lip Gloss, rouge, a formula rich in pigments that plumps up the lips.
On the eyes chiaro-scuro effect created by Phyto-Ombre Éclat, burgundy and ebony, and the intensity of Phyto-Mascara Ultra-Stretch, deep black. All by Sisley.

I hope it's not cheesy. Hollywood needs to learn that video games need to be treated with the same respect that is accorded to any other source material that inspires a movie.

CAW Signals It Could Reach Deal with Chrysler Today
By Caroline Van Hasselt
The Canadian Auto Workers union hopes to announce later Wednesday a labor contract with Chrysler Group LLC, a senior CAW negotiator said–a deal that would conclude negotiations with the Detroit Three auto makers and secure labor peace for another four years.
"There are still concerns that we're dealing with," said Peter Kennedy, a senior CAW negotiator. "We're cautiously optimistic by the end of the day today we'll have something. But it is fragile at the moment."
CAW committees are reviewing Chrysler's offer, which was presented during the "wee hours" Wednesday morning, Mr. Kennedy said.
The union's top brass will monitor developments while attending ratification meetings at General Motors Co.'s plant in Oshawa, Ontario, where GM workers are voting on their new contract. The afternoon meeting starts at 3:30 p.m. ET after which the top CAW negotiators will return to the downtown Toronto hotel where they've been holed up in almost round-the-clock talks with the auto makers for the more than a week. GM ratification meetings will continue at its other two plants on Thursday.
"The local committees are signing things off," Mr. Kennedy said. "Hopefully by the time we get back to the hotel from the Oshawa ratification meetings, we're in a position to just clean up the last couple of items and get this thing done."
A Chrysler spokeswoman said the two sides "are making good progress."

Shane Donaca: An amazing gift
Providing a family with a safe, secure future is the greatest present a friend can give
Shane Donaca's motto was "go hard or go home." And he brought that passion and intensity to every aspect of his life, from racing motorcycles, to building a large commercial construction business in the Portland Ore area, to spending time with his wife, Kim, and their three children.
Because so many people depended on Shane, New York Life agent Kris Preble wanted to ensure his client had adequate life insurance coverage. They sat down to construct a plan that included a combination of term life insurance, to cover immediate needs, and whole life insurance, to help Shane accumulate cash-value over the long term and gain lifelong coverage. As Shane's life moved at the speed of light, however, it was difficult to finalize the plan. Finally Kris, who had become a family friend, accompanied Shane to a dirt bike show in Washington, providing the perfect opportunity to put the final touches on his plan, including getting Shane to sign the policies
A motorcycle enthusiast himself, Kris had joined New York Life in 2011 because, "the idea of being able to help people fit well with my life's values," he says. As for Shane, he was more than a client for Kris who describes him a as "a mentor, team member and father figure". A friendship blossomed over their shared love of motorcycles. "When I became a financial advisor, I made a point of sitting down with Shane to ensure he had enough life insurance in place to cover his wife, three children and his business."
While at the show, tragedy struck. Taking a bike on a test run, Shane hit an embankment and suffered fatal injuries. He was only 44. "I couldn't believe he was gone," says Kris, "And I knew I must be the one to tell his wife and family who were at home."Heartbroken, Shane's family began to pick up the pieces of their life. And though Shane had signed his life insurance contract just 12 hours before his death, his family received the full death benefit. With evident pride, Kris recalls, "I delivered the claim check to his wife and because of this check, I was able to take care of his family and preserve his business."
Shane's widow, Kim, was able to pay off all the company's debts and still has the money the family needs to continue their lifestyle. "Life insurance is an amazing gift," says Kim. "I don't have to lie awake at night worrying about money or about getting another job so I can put my children through school."
