Roger defeated after fight
05.11.2013 | Tennis, Starseite 1
After a tough battle at the ATP World Tour Finals today, Roger was defeated 4-6, 7-6(2), 2-6 by Novak Djokovic in his first match in Group B.
Roger was not able to convert two break points towards the end of the first set and later dropped his serve as Djokovic grew in confidence. The second set was a true battle, Roger came from 40-0 down to break his opponent and gain a 3-2 lead. But with three more breaks in the following games the players eventually fought their way into a tie-breaker - which Roger clearly won. The decider was then in the hands of Djokovic who wrapped up the match after 2 hours 22 minutes.
And first set is in the bag!
Break and break back. Good return game, Rog!
Wonder what's going wrong with his serve, though...

Roger and Gasquet's backhands more or less matchup, although Gasquet has more of "thump" to it, and top spin, but Roger's forehand is way way superior.
Go Rog! Get a double break!

Yeah!! I went away for a few seconds and Roger breaks
Do remember everyone Roger has a cold so maybe not at his best.

Interest in the correspondence of visceral form, position and tonus to bodily habitus as observed in gastro-intestinal roentgen-ray studies suggested the analysis of some available data as to the relation of blood pressure to bodily habitus.
The conceptions of bodily habitus as followed in this analysis are those formulated by Mills;1 and they are used in the classification of the subjects of this study. The sthenic type (Fig. 1) is of strong skeletal build, short and deep thorax, relatively broad shoulders, a costal angle of 90 degrees or more, and has a narrow pelvis as between the anterior superior spines of the ilia. The hypersthenic type (Fig. 2) is an accentuation of all the sthenic characteristics, giving a massive build, with short, deep and broad thorax, an obtuse costal angle and narrow pelvis. The torso is massive above. The asthenic type (Fig. 3) is of delicate skeletal build, with long

April 8, 1998
Release # 98-090
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Gerry Baby Products of Denver, Colo., recalled about 86,000 rechargeable baby monitors sold under the Clear Choice brand name. When an electrical short occurs, the rechargeable battery can cause the monitor's "parent" unit to smoke and flame.Gerry has received one report of flames and four reports of smoke coming from the monitor's parent unit. No injuries or property damage have been reported.The Gerry Clear Choice rechargeable baby monitor being recalled is Model 618. The model number is found on a silver plate on the front of the monitor's AC adapter. The monitor consists of a "baby" unit, a parent unit, a recharging base for the parent unit and AC adapters. All of the units are white with a light blue accent color. Because it houses the battery, only the parent unit presents the hazard.Mass merchandise and baby stores throughout the United States sold the baby monitors from April 1996 to March 1998 for about $40.Consumers should disconnect and throw away the blue battery pack from the parent unit immediately. Consumers should contact Evenflo's Parent Link Consumer Resource Center at (800) 233-5921 for assistance (Gerry Baby Products is out of business, but the Evenflo Company has now taken over in responding to this recall).This recall is not related to the October 1996 recall of 990,000 Gerry model 602 baby monitors. Consumers with questions about the model 602 monitor can call Evenflo's Parent Link Consumer Resource Center at (800) 233-5921.

Yale in London
"Yale in London was the best way to spend my summer because it allowed me to pursue a new academic field, gave me some of the best friends, and was filled with adventures not just around London but the entire UK!"
—Dinee Dorame, ES '15
Yale in London offers Yale undergraduates the opportunity to take spring or summer courses in London at the
Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art.
The Paul Mellon Centre has its own library, classrooms, and students' common room. Classes are scheduled Monday through Thursday, generally in the mornings, so that students can explore London or surrounding areas in the afternoons and on weekends. Students are free to visit other parts of Britain or Europe during long weekends or spring midterm break.
Yale in London courses are offered in both spring and summer, carry full academic credit, and are taught by the Yale faculty based at the Paul Mellon Centre, by professors visiting from Yale and by leading British academics. All classes are small and held in a seminar environment at the Paul Mellon Centre, located in the heart of London. Student accommodations are provided at convenient, nearby locations. Field trips to museums and historic houses in London and other English cities are an integral part of the program. Drama courses make full use of London's theater scene, with visits to everything from top West End plays to small fringe productions, as well as talks by playwrights, directors, and actors.
Visit Yale in London on Facebook and follow us on Twitter (@YaleinLondon) and Instagram (YaleinLondon).
The program is only open to Yale undergraduates. All Yale undergraduates are eligible to apply to the program regardless of their declared or intended major.
Transfer Credits
Yale in London courses are Yale courses, so your credits automatically go on your transcript. No transfer is necessary.
Tuition and Housing Fees
Tuition and housing fees are charged to Yale students at the usual rates for the spring semester, and financial aid is applied in the usual way. Board costs will be removed from your Yale bill as students live in flats and provide their own meals. A separate fee is charged for the summer program, and financial aid may be available through the International Summer Award (ISA), which provides funding for one summer experience for undergraduates receiving Yale financial aid.
During the spring term and summer sessions, students live in shared flats in central London, which are secured for them by the coordinator at the Centre.
Class Location
All classes are held in the seminar room at the Paul Mellon Centre, which has its own library and a students' common room with computer stations and a printer—all for student use.
Traveling during term
Classes are held Monday through Thursday, generally in the mornings. So, with Fridays free, students can arrange weekend trips, day trips, and sightseeing in London. During the weeklong spring break, many students travel around Britain or to other countries in Europe. Furthermore, field trips to museums and historic houses in London and other English cities are an integral part of the program.
Student numbers vary from session to session, but maximum enrollment is fifteen. Preference may be given to seniors in the spring term, or rising seniors in the summer sessions, and the order of applications may be taken into consideration.
There are links to sample syllabi in the "Courses and Faculty" section of this site, so you can see what the courses and the workload are like. Yale in London courses typically resemble regular Yale College courses in the humanities, which combine significant reading assignments with periodic critical writing assignments—but, perhaps, with more time spent with your classmates outside of seminar, visiting museums, and attending theatrical performances. The exact course load varies from professor to professor.

So, I'm getting married this summer, and was struck with the realization that, while I am looking forward to taking my fiancee's last name as my own, I'm going to miss the complete absence of my maiden name from my life.
After giving it some thought, I decided I like the idea of dropping my current (boring) middle name, and changing it to my current maiden name. I like the way it looks and sounds.
My fiancee doesn't seem to thrilled by this new name, but the only thing he'll actually say is "do whatever you want."
What do you think, Aunt Becky? I need your wisdom as a second opinion.
Also! Do you think it would end up being weird whenever the question came up of my middle name being the same as my maiden name? Is it going to be a pain in the ass? This is starting to make me a little crazy.
Well, o! Prankster my Prankster, pleased to meet you, hope you guessed my name. If you didn't, it's not actually listed as Aunt Becky on my birth certificate (which, by the by, if you've seen it, I kinda need it). My given name, Prankster, was Becky Elizabeth Sherrick.
When I got married, like you, o! wise one, I didn't want to change my name. I liked being Becky Sherrick. I'd been Becky Sherrick for 25 years and I didn't really LIKE the sound of Becky Harks. In fact, it sounded like a venereal disease.
But, my husband-to-be was slightly aghast by my reluctance, AND I had a kid with a different last name then my own, and I thought about all of the confusion that we'd suffer with subsequent kids and decided to change it.
I would be: Becky Elizabeth Sherrick Harks (NO HYPHEN)!
Then the Social Security Office called and took a massive shit all over my parade. Turns out, you can give a kid 4 names (all of mine have 4 names)(preemptively, you're welcome, children of mine), but the sea hag at the SS office said no to adding a name, unless you hyphenate.
Stuck with a choice of dumping the Elizabeth or the Sherrick, I dumped the Elizabeth.
Like you, I became a First Name, Last Name, Last Name. Happily. That's what I go by everywhere. The full three names.
This is my advice to you: if that's what you want, and it helps you to feel connected to your past (which, I mean, I totally get.) as you're turning in your old name for a new one, do it.
So fucking what if your fiance doesn't like it? HE is not changing his name. Because his name clearly means enough to him to fight you to take it, he should respect that yours means enough to you to let it go.
He'll get used to it.
Marriage does = compromise. Heh. Just ask The Daver.
If Mississippi lends Missouri her New Jersey, what will Delaware?
I don't know but Alaska.
When my son died last May, my insurance company decided to show everyone why insurance companies are the devil…but refusing to pay for basically any & everything relating to my son, delivery, etc. I'll spare you all the details, I'll just direct you to the blog I've wrote today about my recent appeal & denial.
Anyway, if you read that I'm asking if anyone who is willing to help me provide letters as "evidence" I can use in my claim. Knowing you care about fellow loss moms & loss moms care about you, I thought you could help me out by spreading the word of my letter effort. I feel like I'm asking for a cheap blog plug or something, but I hope you realize I'm not. I'd just like the chance to blow the company's mind. Even if I don't win, I want them to know people know they suck.
So would there be any way you'd be willing to talk about my issue & let people know if anyone would like to help we'd truly appreciate it? Again, I feel lame asking you, but I'm kinda sorta desperate & want any help I can get. Can't hurt to ask, right?
Consider it done, my friend. Baby Loss Mommas, if you can help, please do.
Dear Aunt Becky,
I have been working at a new company for a year. I am the highest seniority person there since I was hired right after the company was formed. My problem is with the secretary. She hasn't even been there a year yet, but she is driving me insane. I often hear her steal my ideas and claim them as her own. She also tries to blame me for her shortcomings.
I've spoken to my bosses twice about this, and they do not see it. Everyone that works under me has come to me with complaints about her. It's my job to take take those complaints to our bosses, but they don't see it so they don't really do anything about it. To add insult to injury I recently found out that my bosses have given her two raises in the eight months she's been there, and I have never received one in over a year (though I have to admit I get more perks than she does)!
I make this company a lot of money, they know I am valuable. When I returned from vacation recently I found out this secretary was bad mouthing me to my bosses. She lies about me, but they just don't see it. How do I show my bosses the true colors of my co-worker?
There is nothing–and I mean nothing–more discouraging than a shifty coworker (I think the word "shifty" needs to make a comeback, don't you?). Been there, done that and it's a fucking bitch. Literally.
If I were you, Prankster, what I would do is this: get some sort of documentation that you can take to your bosses. Because without it, you're never going to convince them that she's not some sort of saint or Jesus or something. With the rest of the staff on your side, it shouldn't be quite as much of a task as it sounds. But you need real proof to get her in your cross-hairs.
People like this tend to eventually dig their own graves. So if you don't get proof in time, eventually she'll fuck up so badly that even your bosses will see what an assbag she is. In the meantime, you need to make sure you're on your best behavior around her so that she doesn't try and throw you under the bus.
Also, you should start bringing Ginsu knives to work. Not because you're going to ACTUALLY cut a bitch, but just to have them and look threatening. You never know when you might have to cut up a nice stir-fry.
As always, Pranksters, fill in where I left off in the comments.
And I wanted to thank all of you who have supported Amelia and I. Today, we're walking for March of Dimes and Team Mimi and I'm beyond touched by how many of you have chimed in over the past year to tell me how you've read her story.
Without you, I really don't know where I'd be. I certainly don't think I'd be in one piece.
Thank you, my Band of Pranksters. Thank you for everything.
Team Mimi FOR THE WIN!

(I am only going to use initials instead of my full maiden/married surnames)
So in my first marriage I really didn't want to go from Misty L to Misty S., so I decided to move my maiden name to my middle name. My SS Card actually said Misty Elizabeth L. S. withOUT a hyphen. My DL said S., Misty Elizabeth L
HOWEVER when tax time came, even though there was no hyphen in my name and my maiden name looked like my middle name, I had to file as Misty L.-S.
Then I just fucking gave up and divorced the sonofabitch the next year. The last name drama was too much and I really loved my maiden name. 😉
There is another option in the name-change game: Add the middle name to your first name. When I got married, I just slid all my names over a notch, so I became FirstMiddle Maiden Married (note that while I did not intend my first and middle names to become one word, they often ended up that way). Both my first and middle names have meaning (I was named after my grandmother and uncle, who died before I was born), and I was unwilling to give up either name. However, I was 28 when I got married…I'd done a lot of stuff with my original last name, and didn't want to give it up.
The end result was a complicated, polysyllabic name that confused pharmacists, receptionists, and telemarketers the world over. But I don't regret the decision, for two reasons. It made life easier as I transitioned from my maiden name to my married name. Later, when I realized getting married to this guy was the mother of all mistakes, having my driver's license bear my maiden name plus one simplified matters until I managed to erase his last name from all my identification.
So I guess I do make *some* smart decisions…
Merge the two names and both husband and wife take the new awesomely morphed name and piss off the in-laws all in one fell swoop.
I call BS on the second letter! Highest ranking means she has no bosses and she should get a grip. If she was the highest ranked her administrative professional would be gone!
Just a thought from an administrative professional. She has no proof because the story is a lie.
PS. put my donation in Davers box cuz you outnumbered your goal! Figured its all going to the same place and same name, not that I dont love on you hard!
I am writing a letter for baby Joel and his family. I can't even say anything else because I'm so disgusted, but that I am so sorry for them. Oh, and that the insurance company is everything that is wrong with this world.
When I got married 14 years ago, I went through a brief and totally unexpected grieving period…because of my last name. In retrospect, I wish I had somehow incorporated my maiden name. I like the idea above of blending the First and Middle names, so it becomes FirstMiddle Maiden Married. This would have worked perfectly for my name because it would have cleared up any confusion about my gender (my first name is VERY unisex). Obviously, this won't work for everyone.
The SSA must like me or something. I added my maiden name as a second middle name. So now I'm Melissa Diane Curran Bonnice. Where the shitting on my parade came in was with the DMV who can only put so many letters for a middle name. So on my license I'm Melissa DC Bonnice. Lame.
But seriously, don't let your maiden name go if you don't want to!
Your SS hag was jacked. I added my maiden name to my last name so it's Firstname Middlename Maidenname Lastname now. No hyphen.
I kept all of my names and just tacked on my hubby's last name when I got married. SS had no problem with it at all, although I do "officially" have one first name, one last name and two middle names. My middle name was actually my mom's maiden name so I was unwilling to give that up. But I also couldn't just drop my own maiden name while keeping mom's, because 1- I had been that name for a long time, and 2- would've really hurt dad's feelings.
Basically, it is a very personal decision that only you can and should make! People do all kinds of crazy stuff with names, so don't be afraid to do whatever you want… it's your NAME for crying out loud! Do what you want!
Ahhh names!
My mother got married at the age of 36 to my dad. She used the opportunity to radically change her name. Her initials were REA. She became EAB. Dropping the R name and moving everything over. At the end of her life, she said, 'why didn't I just take Betty as my first name?' She complained because the E name at the front end was hard to write at that age and everyone called her Betty. Even in high school.
Names are so tricky, they sometimes have a life of their own. So consult a numerologist if you wanna go all esoteric and find out their 'vibration'. Can be a significant factor to sensitive types.
Have a great week!
"Shifty" needs to make a comeback? I had no idea that it went out of style. I use it. Often. Perhaps I'm a trailblazer.
When I got married, I couldn't wait to get rid of my maiden name. It was long, hard to spell, and difficult for others to pronounce. Also, it made people think that I could speak the language from which it is from, and I cannot.
I only stayed married for a couple of years (oh get off, like you all didn't have starter marriages!) and I've been divorced for nearly a decade. But I've kept my married name because that's who I've become. I relate more with Smith* than with Whodyanickabollockoff* and I've become quite successful with my married name. People are aghast when they find out I kept a name that "doesn't belong to me anymore". I tell them to bite me. It's my choice, my name and besides, it cost money to change that shit back.
*Not real names – duh.
you. are. awesome.
You made my day.
a million years ago when i got married in texas–(YeeHaw)….they wouldn't officially declare us married, unless i signed my name–using my husband's last name. (i had wanted to keep my maiden name). I never got used to "his" name……..after the 'starter-marriage' ended in divorce, i changed my name back. With my 2nd, (final) marriage, i kept my own name, and my kids got my maiden name as their middle name.
Shit, when i came to this country as an immigrant, my parents were told they HAD to change our names—-become 'Americanized'—-so we had to adopt new foreign (to us) names…..It was traumatic, we had no country, and now no names…. So i became katrina ( kati or katalin, was not ok). I always resented that. When my daughter was born i named her my original hungarian name—fuck'em
Wow, that's so sucky you all had to change your names. I'm guessing they no longer encourage (or enforce!) that practice. Good for you for passing your name along. I think I would have changed mine to Cher or something just to piss them off.
Add me to the parade of women commenting who have (or had) their married names as First Middle Maiden Married. SS office didn't give me any grief about it when I went through the name change process in December 2009, though the lady at the drivers' license office gave me the hairy eyeball. Too bad for her, I went to SS first! The only real issues I have are that a) my new name is so long that it takes up two lines on my SS card and driver's license, which confuses people, and b) it's so long that it turns out even I don't have the patience to write it out, and am now going by First Married for most purposes.
there was never a question in my mind that i wouldn't change my name. not only that, our "pre-nup" was that girls would get my last name, and boys would get his. then we had one girl. period. yeah, she's got my last name. i am a crank. but i like it that way.
I really hadn't thought about the whole maiden vs married name in a long time. When I got married, I wanted to hyphenate and the hubs was against it, plus my family is very traditional so I seemed to be the only one wanting to hold on to the name. We were married 8 yrs, he adopted my daughter and we had a son, then we divorced. I decided not to go back to my maiden name because my kids both had my married name and I knew I'd get called that no matter what. But I did begin hyphenating for work. Well then we got remarried and I've embraced the married name. But I love the idea of adding my maiden name as an extra middle name. I go by my middle name, so getting rid of it was never an option. But I like this new option. Hmmmm.
To the second person… I hate insurance companies. Your sad story is a disgusting reminder of just how heartless they can be. It makes me sick.
To the third person… It's normally easy to keep someone else from stealing your ideas. Don't share them. Hold your cards close and keep your guard up. Being at a place since it's inception is not particularly impressive when they've only been around a year and you've only been there a few months longer than she has. Keep track of complaints from others formally and in writing and submit them to the bosses that way. That proves that they came from others and not just you making stuff up. Also, last but not least, go to HR.
I am an unmarried 29 year old, so you probably should not take my advice. But, I've never seen myself as wanting to change my last name at all. And the older I get, the more unlikely it seems that should I marry, that I would change it. I like my last name. It's me. And I've published under that name. I just don't see the hassle. My married friends say, "what about the kids?" I say that I won't throw a fuss. If their teachers wants to call me by their dad's last name, that's fine. But changing it legally probably won't happen. Ask me again when I get married. I may eat my words.
As for the sneaky secretary, THAT is something I know all about. Document. Document. Document. Save every email. Write down and date every incident. Ask your colleagues to do the same. Any time someone makes a complaint to you, document it and have them do the same. Build a file with HR. That's the only way to cover your ass.
I also didn't wanna give up my maiden name, so I just added my married name- no hyphen. I go by First, Maiden, Married, and I only have to use the name on my SSC (First, Middle, Maiden, Married) when I file for taxes. Then, I'm hyphenated. Never had a problem otherwise 🙂
Insurance companies suck ass. That is all.
I got married at 38 and made my name First Middle / Maiden / Married. SSA & DMV were fine with me having an unhyphenated first name, but credit card companies leave the space out so I wish that I had hyphenated. Ah well.
As for my hubby, he thinks that this business of keeping my maiden name as my middle name for genealogical reasons is bogus and that I didn't *really* take his name; he also sometimes claims it's proof I didn't really commit to him. I think he can stick it where the sun doesn't shine. So, yeah, he might turn out to be right. How much time can you be together and still refer to it as a "starter marriage"?
I'm going to legally add my blogging moniker to my real name.
My maiden name was 12 letters, 4 syllables, but when I got married, I dropped my middle name ("Ann") to become First, Maiden, Last. I wanted to keep my old identity, but also share the same last name as my husband. It's quite a mouthful, but I have never regretted the choice.
I didn't change my name. I asked if he would he said no and I said yeah me neither.
I say Colorado, everyone wants to Delaware Colorado.
That insurance company should be ashamed of themselves, I hope you get the relief you deserve.
High seinority deosn't mean crap if you're dealing with the devil. Document, document, document and stop sharing your ideas with just anyone so that she can claim them.
I didn't want to change ("I've had that name for 24 years…), but DH was mortified that I wouldn't take his name, so I caved. Did the First Maiden Last name thing. Years later, when we were talking about a friend who was adopting a 3 year old from China, he said, "I can't believe they are going to change her name! She's three. It's her name!" I just looked at him. He thought about it a minute, then said, "OK, on our 24th anniversary, I'll change my last name to your maiden name."
A couple years later, on our 12th anniversary, he commented that he was half way there. I think he'll really do it.
I have so many names (yes, I took all the husbands names) that when I die, I will need two pages of the newspaper to list them all the way across!!
Weird, I didn't realize I was so different by being "traditional" and taking my husband's name. Even though my maiden name was all kinds of awesome, I did so happily, and without question.
oh, god. she looks exactly like her brother!!! that's scary! (and i mean clearly, they would look alike right, siblings and all, but still….)
God, I love that face. <3
My name is my name. Why get a new one from some dude I never met (my husband's absentee father)? And how fucking archaic that we do this at all. I have not just been absorbed into my husband's asset pool, which was how it was when name taking began. I have the children his name which was where I drew the line.
Hey Becks, I thought from the way your bugtton was written that you were just raising money for someone else, oh, Heather Spohr's team, or something, or I would have donated here as well as over there, and a couple others. Thank you for walking.
He is so cute. I love that smile.
Office politics are a bitch.
But there are simple things you can do to protect yourself and your career:
1) Document everything. Make sure you keep copies of emails you send, especially ones that include ideas/proposals that are yours, and responses/threads including this person. Save it, protect it; it is your get-out-of-jail-free card.
2) Don't play the games. It's clear that this person is being crafty, and from the tone of your mail, you're not as politically crafty. Don't try to beat them at their own game: you are not there to play politics, you're there to do your job. When someone wants to throw you under a bus, the best thing to do is to be above reproach. Remember, she's saving all YOUR messages, so don't play games.
3) Compensation is always a one-on-one conversation between a person and their firm. Getting into the so-and-so-got-a-raise game is a pit full of vipers; if you are happy with your comp, then it shouldn't be a problem. If not, you should be working on getting your comp updated to match your expectations (asking your bosses how you can make yourself valuable enough to get paid more, for instance, and then doing it), not worrying about what someone else is working out with the firm. Higher comp = higher expectations; if someone gets paid more and then fails to deliver, they are throwing themselves under their own bus.
4) Have you asked this person what's up? I've had situations where someone thought I had slighted them, and reacted negatively, but a gentle conversation asking if there was something I could do to help them, or mentioning that I'd heard some shit-talk 'on the grapevine' and were trying to figure out where it had come from and was hoping I could change their minds led to a change of heart.
5) OK, I've gone on long enough, but the best leaders are servants. Take a look at the things YOU can do to make your firm successful; ask your coworkers how you can help them and make things better, ask your bosses how you can help more. If you're bringing complaints to your bosses, also bring positive steps you are taking to help improve the relationships in the office, as your role allows.
Good luck!
I did the same thing as Aunt Becky… First name, last name, last name. I thought my dad would be so happy that I wanted to keep our family name forever.
And then when I told him he was devastated that I dropped his grandmother's name (my middle name).
Lose lose.
Overall I am happy to have both my last names. And I really think of myself as all 4 names
I totally go by four names, First name middle maiden and married. no hyphens, no one has ever given me problems about it. I even dropped the last name on everything when I got married then promptly regreted it and added it back on. All I needed was my birth certificate and marriage license. Weird that some people suck and wont let you
I did the same thing as you, I didn't want to lose my maiden name it's different and cool and my married name is blah and boring…Richardson, see no spark there.
Now let me ask you this because you said your kids have 4 names (which by the way I *heart* you for doing this because my kids will be the same way) so do your kids have a first name, middle name and then Sherrick Harks as their last two names or how did they end up with 4?? I want to give my kids my maiden name as one of their names but my husband thinks it will be too many names, I say BS you fool of a husband…my last name is cool they should tack it on! Thoughts??
I dropped my middle name that I can even believe my Mother gave me {and I will NEVER tell} and use my maiden name as my last.
Sadie at heyMamas
I am first name middle name maiden name married name with no hyphens. The SSA tried to give me crap about it and I demanded a supervisor and got it done with no problems. I go by middle name married name, to make it even more confusing.
Fellow reader I am experiencing the same issues with a coworker that we will refer to as "Patrick". I am not the only one that has issue with Patrick. In fact I do not know of a person that I work with that is even friendly with him. For some reason he gets away with breaking any rule he pleases. He has stolen our ideas. My fav. is Patrick thinks I am the one ratting him out all the time, which actually isn't true. For some reason I have become the scapegoat to this moron. We have been patiently been waiting for him to finally get caught doing one of the many things he shouldn't be doing, to no avail. Patrick has went so far as to root through my office. My coworkers and I think this person he has been putting hexes on us, as he believes in crystals and other mumbo jumbo nonsence. IN fact we googled Patrick to find out that he goes to naked festivals during one or all of the solstices. As of recent we discovered they he is scared of leprechauns. Can you guess what is hanging out side my office right now? Good luck with your person they will get their just deserts eventually as I'm sure Patrick will too.

Last night at Supper Club we had a summertime meal and the actual dessert was a fruit salad. I decided that we might need a little bit more so I braved the heat in my kitchen from the oven and made the bundt cake...we absolutely loved it! I coated it at least 3-4 times with the lime glaze. So if you have an over abundance of basil and want to do more than pesto this is something you should try!!
Thank you to Laura for sharing this wonderful recipe on your blog!!
Lime Basil Bundt Cake (found on blog The Spiced Life)
Cake recipe very closely adapted from Kiss My Bundt; Glaze recipe by The Spiced Life
For the cake:
1/3 cup basil leaves, minced
1 1/4 cup whole milk (I used 2% by necessity)
2 1/2 cups (315 g) AP flour
2 1/2 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 3/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 t vanilla
1 T lime juice
zest of 4 limes
For the glaze:
juice from 4 limes
sugar to taste, about 1-2 cups
Mince the basil finely and then add it to the milk. Set it aside and let it steep for 10 minutes at a minimum, to let the basil oil mix with the milk.
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Butter and flour a 9 inch, 10 cup bundt pan. Set aside.
Whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder. Set aside.
Beat the butter and lime zest in an electric mixer until creamy, about 2 minutes. Slowly add the sugar with the mixer on medium speed, and beat until fluffy, about 2 minutes more. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each one. Beat in the vanilla and lime juice.
Alternating ingredients, with the mixer on low speed, mix in the flour mixture and basil milk in 4 and 3 additions, respectively, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Bake for about 40 minutes, you will know the cake is ready to come out when a cake tester comes out clean or with only a few crumbs attacher, and the sides of the cake have begun to pull away from the pan. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
While the cake is cooling, make the glaze. I like a tart glaze, so I used the remaining lime juice from the 4 limes. Mix this with a cup of sugar and bring to a boil in a small saucepan. Taste, and if you want it sweeter, add more sugar. Let boil for 5 minutes and then remove from the he
After inverting the cake onto a cooling rack, brush the warm cake with the warm glaze. I brushed on about 3 layers; the tart-sweet lime glaze is my favorite part so I like a good layer of it! Cool before slicing.

A team from the Southeast Alabama Medical Center is treating patients far beyond the realms of the Wiregrass. It was a volunteer and donation based trip with the help of Baptist Medical Dental Mission International and the First Baptist Church in Bonifay.
"You know people ask…there are so many things you can do here in the United States, why go to a foreign country?" said Dr. Allen McCool, Urologist at Southeast Alabama Medical Center.
There is one doctor, in a run-down hospital and operating rooms stuffed with multiple beds. They have no access to clean drinking water.
"They just have no medical care, they have no access to medical care," said Dr. McCool.
That's just the reason a surgical team led by General Surgeon Dr. Randall Nichols and Urology Surgeon Dr. Allen McCool took a week long trip from SAMC and the Wiregrass to Honduras. They performed about 50 operations ranging from prostate surgery to trauma to pediatric surgery.
"The little girl who fell out of the mango tree, she had cut the inside of her nose and had sort of cut it open all the way to the top of her lip," said Angie Taylor, scrub nurse at SAMC.
Team members were not just operating. For the past 5 years, Stephen Taylor has traveled down to re-vamp the hospital.
"You had lights that had probably 20-year old surgical lighting in them. A lot of the equipment there had been donated by other facilities over the years so it was some of the older stuff," said Stephen Taylor, plant manager.
By the time this group left, they were putting the finishing touches on 4 new operating rooms. This was all to give people with the bare minimum a fighting chance.
"I had one patient that left on a horse after a prostate surgery and it had taken him 11 hours to get there. We had patients that took buses, walked, or hitch-hiked. It could have taken them a day to get there," said Dr. McCool.
So why a foreign country, why not the United States? Doctors say one week away is nothing and gives them 51-weeks here at home.
For more information on how to be involved in the next trip, contact David Lauen with the First Baptist Church of Bonifay. He can be reached at 850-326-0097.

New Theatre, Oxford, 25 Jul - 7 Aug 2010
My attention was grabbed as soon as the curtain lifted, with a sea of children age 8 upwards, all working so hard to impress. What followed blew me away! I couldn't believe the children had all been working for only ten days.
Fame was energetic and engaging, full of quick act changes to keep you interested. All the principals were great, but Carmen (Georgina Hendry) had star quality and handled a very difficult song In LA like a professional.
The beautiful voice of Edd Bird as Nick was pure magic, and great character work from Peter Sowersby as Joe also impressed me. All the teachers were great actors, giving performances way beyond their years. The Chorus, even though children (some of whom were only eight years old) were spot on.
The only criticism I have is that sometimes the stage looked crowded, and I would have liked to have heard Fame as the final song. Well done the summer youth project team for a sparkling show, that will remain with its participants forever.
Jayne Freeman , 09/08/10
Fame can be a difficult production; complex, with 1980s pop cultural references and adult themes at every turn. However, the exuberance of the young cast worked brilliantly with the musical's fast pace and projected an infectious optimism throughout, even in the darkest moments. The audience really were enjoying it, whooping in delight or amusement when their friends kissed or cracked a joke onstage or, in one particularly impressive case, performed a soaring back flip!
Whilst the plays more explicitly adult moments had thankfully been toned down a little to suit the cast, a lot of the darker issues the script deals with, such as drug abuse, thwarted ambition and death, were still present to challenge the cast. The principals all rose commendably to these challenges, though, with the actresses playing provocative Carmen Diaz (Georgina Hendry) and the strict Miss Sherman (Rebecca Goldie) dealing sensitively and accurately with portrayals of characters with much more age or experience.
Jose Vegas (Peter Sowersby) unique charm, Nick and Serenas (Edd Bird and Eve Norris) passion for acting and Tyrone and Schlomos (Myles Osborn-Banton and Sam Johnson) respective kinds of inner turmoil were portrayed with control when the roles demanded, but also a kind of unstoppable, bubbling energy that kept each new scene fresh and interesting. The teachers were all so very convincing that I genuinely thought they were played by adults for much of the play.
The large dance numbers were very enjoyable for a production involving some tiny children, each was choreographed ambitiously and executed near-perfectly. Speaking as someone who always took days to learn dance routines for school musicals (and often forgot half as a result of stage fright) I was stunned that children as young as eight were able to learn and perform so many dances, even where there were several groups all doing different things on stage at once, in only ten days!
Perhaps Im easily impressed and such are the New Theatres expectations for every show, but the professional quality of the singing, the dancing (and break dancing) and the persistent energy of the cast, suggested to me that these were some seriously talented young people. The play will be running at the New Theatre, on George Street, in Oxford, tonight at 7.30pm, and on Saturday 7th August at 2.30 and 7.30pm. If you dont mind being unable to stop humming the title song under your breath for days, I urge you to go and see it.

James Moore is Wrong
Recently James Moore, minister for Canadian Heritage, spouted off this piece of propaganda at the June 22 Conference on Copyright Reform for Canada.
This guy is either completely out of touch with what regular Canadians want, or a liar. He pretends to know the motivations of people opposed to the bill and attributes objectives to us that he paints as evil, wrongheaded, naive and obstructionist. He is wrong. We are concerned about culture and intellectual freedom, and not having our collective societal knowledge and wisdom locked up by media companies.
The copyright reform bill is necessary, and if you read the writings of the people who Moore claims are absolutists, you will discover that most are in support of many of the reform provisions, but the digital locks provision in the bill completely overrides fair and reasonable use and cannot stand. It allows rights-holders to circumvent the fair use provisions in the bill whenever they want, and criminalizes things like time shifting, device shifting, and using media that you legally obtained in any way other than on the specific device the rights-holder dictates. Criminalizing things that a MAJORITY of Canadians already do is obviously not what Canadians want, and is absolutely not in the interests of the public. Have you ever copied music from a CD to your iPod? The digital locks provision will allow BMG or Sony or Disney to put a trivial piece of software on a music CD that makes it illegal (!) for you do do that.
The United States has this kind of copyright legislation, and media companies and industry associations like the MPAA and RIAA have used the legislation to indiscriminately sue thousands of individuals, bankrupting them, causing them to lose their jobs, and causing all manner of harm, on the most tenuous of evidence. Security researchers have been persecuted as well, causing a chilling effect on intellectual pursuits. There is no net benefit to society from the digital locks provision.
James Moore clearly doesn't understand that the overarching reason for copyright in the first place is to ensure that creative content producers have incentive to continue to produce new content, but to also ensure that content makes it into the public domain after a reasonable period. If content has digital locks on it, even after the copyright term is expired, it will still be inaccessible.
I want to give Moore the benefit of the doubt, that he is a sincere public servant trying to protect the interests of Canadians, but his position is difficult to understand except as pandering to media corporations. It is not good for Canadians, it is only good for (mostly foreign) media companies.
Canadian Bill C-32 Needs Revision
There is a bill in the works right now in Canada that will mimic the terrible Digital Millenium Copyright Act from the USA. The bill basically makes it illegal to take a CD or a DVD or even an eBook or digital music or movie file that you got legally, and copy it to another device for your own use, if the distributor decides not to let you do that. The current Canadian Copyright Act contains provisions that allow you to copy stuff for your own use, like moving music from a CD to your computer to your iPod, or moving movies from a DVD to your computer to your iPod, or moving eBooks from your Amazon Kindle to your Sony eReader, or backing up game discs in case your kid scratches the original. It also allows use of media in certain circumstances without permission for purposes of satire, parody, non-commercial mashups, or education.
However, the government now wants to add an onerous provision to the Copyright Act to make it illegal to circumvent content protection software, no matter how trivial, even if you are doing it to exercise your rights as listed above. That means, if the music or movie company doesn't want you to listen to or watch content you legally obtained on a CD or DVD or legal download on your iPod, or your computer or whatever, you won't be able to, and if somebody makes software that removes any kind of restriction protection on the media, and you use it, both they and you have committed a crime.
That, my friends, is bullshit. Canadians don't want those restrictions. Our culture and knowledge are more and more being distributed digitally. We don't want media companies to hold the keys to our heritage and education. Those belong in the hands of the public.
You can help by going to Michael Geist's website and reading about what to do. I wrote a letter to my MP, the Industry Minister, and the Minister of Heritage and Languages. Here is my letter to my MP. If you are concerned about culture and education in Canada, and in not criminalizing the normal activities of everyday Canadians, please consider writing your MP. You don't even need a stamp.

Viral Video of Week: Honey Maid Spreads the Love
When Honey Maid released its "This is Wholesome" ad in early March that featured an interracial family and a same-sex family, viewers who didn't agree with the ad's message were quick to fire back that the spot was anything but "wholesome." Now, the graham cracker maker has released a second ad illustrating that it's received an overwhelming amount of positive feedback on the campaign.
In the latest spot, Honey Maid employed two artists to print out each negative comment received on the original ad and roll them into paper tubes. The artists then arranged the tubes to spell out the word "Love." In the video, Honey Maid reveals that for every negative comment on the ad, there were 10 times the number of positive comments. To showcase this, the artists encased the Love sculpture with paper tubes made from all the positive comments.
The "Love" video has drawn more than 2.8 million online views since it was uploaded five days ago, according to data from Visible Measures, which tracks online viewership. The original "This is Wholesome" ad has generated more than five million views on YouTube.

A southeast Michigan couple was checking for television updates on the overnight snow storm that socked Michigan this week when they got hit by a different wallop: They and their co-workers had won half of a $93 million Mega Millions lottery prize.
Jose and Charlene Person told reporters Friday they began singing "We're in the Money" Wednesday morning after rechecking the numbers and confirming they'd won.
They're among 13 current and retired postal workers who plan to split the Mega Millions prize. The PI Gold Lottery Club has chosen to take it in one lump sum of $29 million less taxes.
The two 48-year-olds work at the Romulus priority mail processing center and plan to return to work Monday. The other winning ticket for Tuesday's drawing was sold in Indiana.

It's already been a productive summer at the Emirates.
Arsene Wenger managed to fend off Liverpool to bring Alexis Sanchez to Arsenal, while also improving their defence by bringing in Mathieu Debuchy and Calum Chambers.
Ultimately, Wenger's efforts are in view of re-establishing Arsenal among the serious contenders for the Premier League title and, to do so, most fans are calling out for a holding midfielder to be drafted in to complete the Gunners' puzzle.
However while this requirement has even been echoed by the manager himself, next on the list appears to be another attacking midfielder, with Juan Fernando Quintero reportedly close so joining Arsenal.
The 21-year-old playmaker is currently plying his trade in Portugal with FC Porto, like many fellow Colombians over the past few years, and with a number of esteemed experts on the game tipping him for big things, this surprise rumour packs a lot of promise.
And so, Squawka has taken a look at Quintero to see whether he can be another string to Arsenal bow's going into the new season in which Wenger will be targeting domestic glory.
Where Does He Play?
Quintero is the quintessential number-ten style of attacking midfielder, far more happy when joining in with the attack than he is going towards his own goal, with his ability to create and destroy a notable asset.
Quintero drew four fouls and beat his man four times from six attempts in the Europa League last season.
The Porto star likes to operate in the pockets just behind the striker where he can either assist or score himself through his formidable shot. His playing style, in fact, is very similar to compatriot James Rodriguez, though his diminutive stature draws more comparisons to Lionel Messi.
Strengths and Weaknesses
Quintero's big strengths are in the attacking third of the pitch, with the Colombian player boasting a fearsome shot as well as possessing the intelligence and diligence around the box to be a creator as well as a goalscorer, having netted four goals in 17 league appearances last season, including only four starts.
He is yet to become an established regular in the Colombia first team due to the presence of Rodriguez but in his three appearances for national side at the World Cup, he opened up his account on the world stage. Netting in his first appearance at the tournament, Quintero scored what proved to be a crucial winner against Ivory Coast in the group stages.
Again, he is yet to truly stamp his mark on the Porto first team and was used primarily as a substitute in European competition, though the Medellin-born attacker managed to create five chances during 94 minutes of action overall. It is, perhaps, his movement that stands out most, as his reading of the game allows Quintero to glide into pockets of space.
His versatility will also appeal to Arsene Wenger, as he can play anywhere across the attacking three of the Arsenal midfield, just as comfortable working as an inside forward as a central playmaker.
Where would he fit in to Arsenal's system?
Arsenal seem well stocked in terms of offensive midfielders, so there is a suggestion that Wenger sees one or both of Alexis Sanchez and Theo Walcott primarily as a centre-forward going into the new season, freeing up an extra position in the offensive section of his midfield for an additional recruit.
With Santi Cazorla continually linked with a return to Spain and a move to Atletico Madrid, Arsenal could have a further position opening up and one would feel the pace in which Quintero both thinks and reacts would probably see him slot in well to the Gunners' style of play, even if it begins as more of a bit-part role.
His lack of first-team starts with Porto would mean he would hardly expect to be a guaranteed starter at Arsenal. However, as an impact sub against tired legs Quintero could prove a wonderful player to introduce, with the potential to quickly integrate him into the starting XI.
Stand-out Stat
Over three games of Champions League football, Juan Fernando Quintero completed 91% of his passes.
Quintero's Champions League pass success, 2013/14
Porto only signed him from Pescara last summer and had a €40m (£32m) release clause inserted into his contract. Yet, with Quintero yet to establish himself as a regular in his team, he's hardly an irreplaceable member of the team.
Due to the promise shown by Quintero, Porto insist they will not let him go for anything less, however.
Arsenal are apparently willing to stump up £15-20m to land him, though whether that should be enough is debatable.
If Arsenal are set to let Cazorla go in the wake of the business they've done already, they could do far worse than to spend the proceeds of that sale on bringing in Quintero to replace him. The Colombian would prove a good addition in that he offers something a bit different.
Arsenal have often been guilty of overplaying things at times and Quintero would be an excellent addition to bring on should plan A fail to function perfectly, as his forward looking nature would prove crucial in getting them over the line in those tighter games.
He's still raw and learning the game, but with the potential he possesses, Quintero could be worth double the amount they pay for him within two years, and a move for him now would be perfect timing.

To visit CoastAdapt and leave your comments, please click on the button on the left. NCCARF will have a booth and make a presentation at the 2016 IPWEA Conference: Sustainability in Public Works in Melbourne, to publicise CoastAdapt.
The National Climate Change Adaptation Research Facility
The National Climate Change Adaptation Research Facility (NCCARF) works to support decision makers throughout Australia as they prepare for and manage the risks of climate change and sea-level rise.
NCCARF is currently developing a three year program (2014-17) to address the adaptation needs of decision makers and practitioners, especially in the coastal zone, as they deal with projected impacts such as more frequent and more intense heatwaves, increasing risk of flooding from rivers and the sea, and increasing coastal erosion.
Based at Griffith University on the Gold Coast, NCCARF has a national focus across Australia to build resilience to climate change in government, NGOs and the private sector. For more information on our aims and activities, please look through the Project Plan, or contact email@example.com
In a world where climate impacts are increasingly observable and adaptation actions are increasingly required, we showcase leading impacts and adaptation research and explore the contribution of adaptation science to planning and policy making.
A range of information products, including research reports, fact sheets, data, presentations and other outputs from NCCARF's research programs are now available.
A series of factsheets featuring NCCARF's 140 research projects, organised by theme, sector, or state and territory. Each factsheet has a list of projects relevant to the theme, information on the investigators and delivery date, together with a short summary of each project.
NCCARF's Adaptation Research Networks, hosted by universities across Australia, are a community of researchers and practitioners working together to progress climate change adaptation knowledge.

Funding options for postgraduate students.
Once you decide to go for postgraduate study the next hurdle is getting the funding. This process is very different from applying for undergraduate grants and loans, and can be a complicated process.
Further education doesn't come cheap. "Course fees can be anywhere in the region of £3,000 to £10,000 and beyond, and that's just fees - on top of that don't forget that you'll need to consider your normal maintenance / living costs," says the University of Newcastle upon Tyne's Careers Service. Maintenance costs alone can average out at £6,000 - £8,000 and even more if in London.
For the majority of postgraduate education there is no official closing date. Be aware though, that there may well be deadlines in regards to getting financial support from the funding bodies, so don't leave things too late. "Generally speaking you apply to a taught master's course via an application form. Most do not have closing dates but there is some mileage in applying early to pick up the best options on any funding that might be available," says Mandy Burns, careers advisor at the University of Plymouth's careers services.
Don't panic though, there are many routes available when looking into ways of supporting yourself through your studies. A scholarship is one option. Charities and educational trusts can also offer small grants and sponsorship and although uncommon, some employers may offer sponsorship - there's no harm in asking, is there?
International students should approach the British Council [new window] for information on scholarships available to help UK study.
Career development loans (CDL) may also an option. CDLs are offered by a consortium of banks for students on vocational courses and can be between £300 and £10,000 towards tuition and / or living expenses for a period of up to two years' study.
The interest on the loan is paid by the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) during the course and you begin to pay back the loan a month after your course finishes. If you don't fit into this criteria, it still may be worth discussing a loan with your bank, as some banks can be willing to offer loans with preferential rates for those people attempting to better themselves.
If money is tight, there is also the option of doing your postgraduate study part-time, or perhaps taking a year out to work and save up money to support yourself. But if this is something you want enough, you'll find a way.
Unfortunately, with the exception of teacher training, funding for postgraduate study is not automatic. As with everything else in the education process, a lot of research may be necessary in order to find any possible funding. It can depend on your chosen subject, so look around for companies and institutions - such as the IET - that deal with your area of expertise, and then find out further info on application processes and deadlines.
Also discuss funding with your university. Many institutions offer several scholarships for specific courses each academic year.
Although it may not feel like it at times, there are a large number of funding bodies out there, it's just a matter of finding them. A good place to start is at your university's academic department, staff there should be happy to point you in the direction of the right bodies for the course you want to follow.
"People always panic about funding and it is very competitive but the point is there is still funding to be had in many cases and science and engineering is better supported than some subject areas," says Burns. "Courses may attract research council funding, some universities may have their own scholarships and some may have collaborative awards with industry. If a loan does have to be taken out it may prove to be a very worthwhile investment, but again this means that the applicant does need to conduct a careful risk / benefits analysis and do their research adequately," she adds.
Once you've found some useful bodies to approach in regards to funding, the next step is to find out if you are eligible to apply. Some awards can be aimed at quite specific areas of the community, so make sure you fit the criteria rather than wasting your time.
So there you go. Start looking into funding as early as looking into courses, and consider your options carefully. Finding funding is probably one of the hardest areas of further education, so once you've done that, you'll be ready to take on anything.

When carcinoid tumors are at a more advanced stage, surgery may not be possible. However, other treatments can help manage these neuroendocrine tumors. Although these treatments don't cure the cancer, they can help slow or stop the growth of the tumor and ease symptoms.
Using a Variety of Treatments for Carcinoid Tumor
Depending on the location of the tumor and how far it has spread, doctors may use a variety of treatments. Even if surgery can't be used to cure the tumor, it may be used to remove part of the tumor, called debulking.
"I've found the best way to approach carcinoid tumors is to treat them aggressively," says Richard Warner, MD, professor of medicine at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine and medical director of the Carcinoid Cancer Foundation. "We often use a few types of treatments one right after the other. For example, we may use debulking surgery, then radiation, and then chemotherapy. This helps us stay ahead of tumor growth."
Medications to Slow Carcinoid Tumors
Medications can help slow the growth of tumors and ease the symptoms of carcinoid syndrome. Carcinoid syndrome is a set of symptoms -- including flushing of the skin, wheezing, and diarrhea -- that can occur if the tumor produces excess hormones such as serotonin or histamine.
- Octreotide. The drug most commonly used to treat carcinoid tumors is octreotide ( Sandostatin). This drug is similar to a hormone that occurs naturally in the body. It can help relieve the flushing and diarrhea caused by carcinoid syndrome, and slow tumor growth.
- Interferons. Interferon drugs can help reduce the symptoms of carcinoid syndrome and may help slow the growth of carcinoid tumors. But interferons can have severe side effects, so they may not be helpful for all people.
- Antihistamines. Some antihistamine drugs can help ease the symptoms of carcinoid syndrome, but they do not stop tumor growth.
Researchers are also looking at other drugs to help slow or stop the growth of carcinoid tumors. "There are a few drugs currently going through clinical trials or awaiting FDA approval," says James Yao MD, associate professor and deputy chair of the Department of Oncology at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. "So we are hoping to have more options for drug treatment in the future."

Whether you agree with it or not, Tuesday the U.S. Senate said yes to a $838 billion economic stimulus bill.
One Colorado Springs expert says it's hard to tell what the bill would mean for Americans in the long run.
Just a few more hurdles to go and President Barack Obama's multi-billion-dollar stimulus plan could become a reality.
"I think he's going to do what he says he's going to do and I think we as a nation need to feel comfortable with that," said Pamela Jenkins who lives in Colorado Springs.
Ken Rogers, a Financial Advisor for nearly half-a-century says our current economic state has him stumped. "You don't know and nobody knows the answers to it right now," said Rogers.
Rogers says he is sure of one thing. "We've got to get it right this time," said Rogers.
Rogers is among those who believe the stimulus money would be better spent in other ways such as putting more of it into our pockets.
President Obama said he has to do what he has to do. "This notion that I just came in here and decided to spend $800 billion, that isn't how I envisioned my presidency beginning," said President Barack Obama.
Even if a version does pass, Rogers believes it will take years for us to actually see the effects. "It's going to take time to get to the bottom of it," said Rogers.
"This is the worst I've ever seen it, so whatever the president is willing to try, I'm willing to support," said Eva Johnson of Colorado Springs.
Some of that stimulus money is slated to go toward helping homeowners avoid foreclosure, toward doubling production of alternative energy and helping to create 4-million new jobs.
Before the bill can land on President Obama's desk the house and the senate need to come to an agreement between their 2 versions. President Obama is hoping to sign the bill by President's Day.
