10 'Avengers' cameos we'd like to see: Ultron, Ant-Man, Ms. Marvel, Wonder Man
Plus: The Wasp, The Vision, Thanos and more
Rate This Image
The Falcon
Real Name: Sam Wilson
First Appearance: Captain America #117 (Sept. 1969)
Powers: An ability to communicate and see through the eyes of his bird Redwing. He's also displayed the power to see through other birds eyes when Redwing is out of range and to control birds to do his bidding. The latter abilities are relatively new and its unclear how developed they are. Falcon uses a set of technologically advanced wings which allows him to fly. He's also an excellent hand to hand combatant thanks to training form his good friend Captain America.
Hero or Villain: Hero
Why: Falcon has one cool costume, the movie franchise needs more flying heroes besides Iron Man and Thor (although we haven't seen him fly outside his own film yet), and while it's great Nick Fury is being played by the one and only Samuel L. Jackson the big screen Avengers could use a bit more racial diversity. Especially considering how the group has been progressively diverse in the comic books for decades.

Dancing with the Stars Season 16 Winner Is Kellie Pickler!
Originally posted 05/21/2013 09:30PM
On Tuesday, Dancing with the Stars named its season 16 champions.
At the end of Monday night's episode, Zendaya and an injured Val Chmerkovskiy received perfect 30s for both of their full-length routines, and then tacked on an additional five points to their score for winning the cha cha relay.
But only one point below the highest scoring pair were Kellie Pickler and Derek Hough, who earned perfect 30s for their routines, which included a dramatic freestyle number that had viewers in tears. They came in second place during the cha cha relay, and scored four extra points.
Below them were Alexandra Raisman and partner Mark Ballas, followed by Jacoby Jones and Karina Smirnoff.
And the winners are Kellie and Derek!
Dancing with the Stars: Which Couple Deserved to Win?

The final four Dancing with the Stars contestants – Jacoby Jones, Kellie Pickler, Alexandra Raisman and Zendaya – and their pro partners have overcome injuries and potential eliminations to make it all the way to the season 16 finale. But only one couple can take home the tantalizingly close mirror-ball trophy.
Pickler's strong performances throughout the season were magnified Monday night, when she and Derek Hough earned a perfect 30 score for a freestyle dance judge Carrie Ann Inaba called "one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen." Pickler later admitted "I let all of my walls down" for the fearless show-stopper.
NFL player Jones and pro partner Karina Smirnoff did not have the most stellar performances, getting flak from the judges for an imperfect jive, and later for a super-sized freestyle dance. But Inaba nevertheless dubbed the wide receiver the "number one entertainer of season 16," in the semifinals the previous week.
Dancing with the Stars Pro Val Chmerkovskiy: 'Thank God the Blood Subsided'

Zendaya's elbow went flying, and Val Chmerkovskiy's night was suddenly in jeopardy.
But Chmerkovskiy, 27, being the pro that he is, soldiered on after the accident in dress rehearsal for Monday's Dancing with the Stars left him with a deep gash over his right eye that almost sent him straight to the hospital before the first night of the season 16 finale.
"That's what I was worried about," he told PEOPLE after the show. "It's going to keep pouring, pouring, pouring, and I'm going to need stitches. If I was going to have to go get stitches, then I wouldn't have time to make it back. So thank God the blood subsided."
Dancing with the Stars: Final Four Compete for Mirror-Ball Trophy
Originally posted 05/20/2013 10:30PM
The final four couples performed three routines each on Monday's Dancing with the Stars. By the end of the night, one pair were in the lead with a perfect score for all three dances.
However, the episode kicked off with an imperfect – though energetic – jive.
Karina Smirnoff and partner Jacoby Jones – who judge Carrie Ann Inaba previously called "the number one entertainer of season 16" – were told by judge Len Goodman that they showed improvement, but that "you got excited at times and lost it."

Who's going to take home the coveted mirror-ball trophy?
The top four couples on Dancing with the Stars – Kellie Pickler and Derek Hough, Alexandra Raisman and Mark Ballas, Zendaya and Val Chmerkovskiy, Jacoby Jones and Karina Smirnoff – are hitting the ballroom one last time Monday night in hopes of earning high scores from judges and lots of votes from viewers to win the competition.
And the competition is fierce! Kellie and Zendaya have been clear frontrunners from the beginning, while Alexandra has also scored big and Jacoby is finishing strong, charming the judges and picking up enough votes to make it to the finale.
We want to hear from you about Monday's show. Share your thoughts on Twitter @peoplemag and we'll post the best Tweets right here.
Zendaya Performs an Uncharacteristic 'Mess' on Dancing with the Stars

Monday night's Dancing with the Stars semi-finals got off to a lively start.
Kellie Pickler and Derek Hough's Argentine tango was a routine that judge Carrie Ann Inaba called "perfection."
The other two judges echoed similar sentiments and gave the pair 30 points out of 30.
Ingo Rademacher, who Inaba called "the underdog," had judges only semi-impressed with the 24-point samba he completed with partner, Kym Johnson.

Smirnoff landed on the NFL pro Sunday, twisting her neck and banging her face, and she had to be taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for possible whiplash and a dislocated jaw, a source tells PEOPLE.
The ballroom pro later Tweeted that she was "still a bit sore" but would make it to Monday night's semi-finals on Dancing with the Stars..

Were Sean Lowe's fans able to save him from being eliminated on Tuesday night's Dancing with the Stars?
On Monday, the former Bachelor star failed to impress the judges with a pair of foot-fumbling routines that put him at the very bottom of the leader board with 42 points out of 60.
Soap star Ingo Rademacher trailed not too far behind with 48 points for the night.

Three's a crowd?
Hardly for one competitor, who snagged the season's first perfect 30-point score on Dancing with the Stars on Monday.
The trio of 10s came appropriately enough on threesome night, when the stars each teamed up with two pros for the second round of dances.
The trio dances added complexity and sass – and at one point had one judge melting down in an angry clash with his colleagues.
Dancing with the Stars: Who's Heading Home?
Originally posted 04/30/2013 10:10PM
Week after week of consistently low scores haven't spelled the end of the road for Dancing with the Stars competitors Andy Dick and Sharna Burgess. But is their time finally up?
The actor and his pro partner scored just 17 points for their rumba on Monday night's all-Latin show, putting them at the bottom of the leader board below soap star Ingo Rademacher and his partner, Kym Johnson. Burgess even spoke out in anger against the judges for their harsh critiques.
But their fans have saved Team Dick before. Did they do it again? Read on to find out who was sent home on Tuesday's elimination show ...

Looks fkin amazing mate, can't wait till I get the chance to go there.
OK, so this is where I was in 2006. It's one fucked-up country. Nothing really works, nothing is new, and everything is difficult. By comparison, Thailand is a fully-functioning modern state.
The entrance to Luxor temple. It dates back over 3000 years. Told you nothing in Egypt is new.
Hieroglyphics & shit in Luxor temple. Old.
Some old statue in Luxor temple. This thing was fecking massive.
Karnak temple, Luxor.
Hatshepsut's temple, just behing the Valley of the Kings, Luxor. This is where the Muslim Brotherhood massacred a load of tourists in 1997 or thereabouts. The temple is really old - like, about 3 500 years old.

You may recognise this place. It's really old.
The ever-alert Egyptian police. Giza; Cairo in the distant background.
21st-Century Luxor.
A village on the west bank of the Nile, Luxor. You may notice that the buildings have big pieces of metal sticking out of them. This is because, in Egypt, you don't have to pay tax on your house until it is fully-built. So people just leave their houses unfinished (i.e. without proper roofs). Yes, Egypt is that fucked.

Daniel Bedingfield claimed that his new album is what it would sound like if Sting, Stevie Wonder and Micheal Jackson were in a basement together - I haven't got the album so I'll have to imagine the sound of a blind bloke and a Geordie kicking the shit out of a pedophile.
An "Ahwa" (coffee house), downtown Cairo.
Cleopatra Souq, Alexandria. This was just before Eid al-AdHa, which commemorates Abraham's preparedness to kill his son Isaac; hence all the sheep, ready to be bought & slaughtered in the streets
A typical doorway in Alexandria. The signs are all for the various doctors who work out of the premises. Most rooms in buildings like this are completely deserted and dilapidated, but people still work out of the rooms which are functional.
I was in Egypt in 1987.... back then everything was old too. Go figure.
fantastic pics boonmee!! cheers
were you working there? i hear the traffic makes bangkok look sane?
Those pictures are amazing but you're going to have to work on your patter a wee bit as you didn't really sell the place to me!

And yes; Bangkokians are extremely considerate and reserved drivers by comparison with Egyptians. Egyptians never take their hands off the horn. It does your fucking head in.
Egypt is a beautiful country, but it's wasted on the Egyptians, unfortunately.

would you recommend the place for a holiday? not a huge temple fan myself but it looks interesting
I went there in 1983 and loved it, even though I had the shits most of the time! Cairo is a madhouse, but of course you have to go there to see the pyramids, well worth it. Outside of Cairo everything is rather backwards, but that is part of the charm of the country. Not everything is difficult, dead easy to get the train from Cairo down to Luxor and Aswan. OK it was an hour late getting there, but that happens in England too, and I wasn't in a hurry.
I didn't find the Egyptians so bad, but I did go there after spending five months in Israel where the people are cunts so maybe I was easily impressed!
If I could do it all over again, I'd do it all over you.
If you go to Egypt, you'll never complain about anything in Thailand again.
I didn't think I would be into the temples particularly, but when you see them up close, they are truly awesome.
Oh, and z, this is no shit: if you go in September, you'll eat the most delicious mangoes you've ever tasted in your life - and they're cheaper (or were when I was there) than in Thailand, too! And there are millions of varieties. It's mango heaven, man!

The police know that the length of skid marks L(when brakes are applied) varies directly as the square of the speed of the car v, and that at 30 miles/hour (under ideal conditions) skid marks would be 40 feet long. How fast was the driver actually going before he applied his brakes?

Mass nervous breakdown over IRS review
May 21, 2013 - Harry Eagar
No one could be surprised by the reaction of the Teadiots to the revelation that they were being asked, just like anyone else, to support their application for a tax exemption. The whining of the Teadiots is as much a part of summer as the whining of mosquitoes. That they think that being asked to perform the duties of ordinary citizens has "singled them out" just reinforces the obvious fact that Teadiocricy is all about me, me, me and my rights and nothing ever about us, us, us, Americans with duties to each other.
But it is surprising, a little, that most of the reality-based community has bought into this nonsense. True, no one wants to be seen as a friend of the Infernal Revenue Service, except RtO. RtO thinks taxes and tax compliance made this country great. Teadiocrity made Greece Greece and Italy Italy, as least as regards the public fisc.
So, regrettably, RtO cannot restate the obvious about the imaginary IRS scandal. It will have to state the position as if it were new, although it really isn't.
The key points are:
1. The Teadiots and conservatives were not singled out. Other, evidently leftish groups, also had to demonstrate their fitness for the 501(c)4 exemption. For example, Progress Texas.
The difference is, the leftists have not been caterwauling about it.
2. What the IRS did was completely ordinary and necessary. In 2010, there was an explosion in new groups, partly, probably, because of the egregious Supreme Court ruling in the Citizens United case. These groups had no history, no evidence of past activities to indicate what exactly they did. Of course the IRS demanded evidence in justification of awarding a valuable exemption.
The fact that, on the face of it, the Tea Party was entirely political and was proudly and loudly claiming it was going to sweep its partisans into office at the coming election would have raised the suspicions of anyone that perhaps a Teadiot or related organization might not really be primarily an educational group.
Let me restate this obvious fact:
The Tea Party 502(c)4 applications were prima facie suspect of being fraudulent. There was before the public no evidence -- zero, nil, nada, not any -- that Tea Party groups were non-political.
It is not true that more Teadiots were audited than other political groups, although even if this were true, it would hardly be surprising. Teahadism was something new, at least in a political organizational sense. Most other -isms had been around and organized long enough that they were not applying for exemptions de novo. Yet even so, Teahadis were a smallish minority of those chosen for close review.
All the above is so obvious that it shouldn't need comment, though of course, it does. The next is speculative:
It may be (though I doubt it) that not all the Teadiot applications were fraudulent. Some may have been the result of mere ignorance of the law. The fantasy levels of the Tea Partiers I was talking with at that time were at RED ALERT levels.

"Liberty and equality" is what this IRS debate is all about. Nixon, (a Republican), was wrong to use government muscle to target his liberal ney-sayers, and Obama is wrong for doing the same thing for targeting his conservative ney-sayers !

CBNNews.com - GAZA STRIP - Members of Islamic Jihad may be driven by hate for Israel and the US, but there's an element of respect as they train for war.
Israeli Defense Ministry officials know that Palestinian terror groups in the Gaza Strip are continually upgrading their capabilities and threat to Israel. They also know that Iran is providing the lion's share of funding and weaponry to these groups.
"It [Islamic Jihad] is a very good client from the Iranian point of view because it's completely in the pocket of the Iranians, completely financed and run by the Iranians," Israeli Middle East analyst Jonathan Spyer told CBN News.
"What we're seeing as a result of the [six-month] cease-fire is that you're having more and more Palestinian operatives -- not only from Islamic Jihad, but from other groups too -- going out of Gaza via the southern tunnels into Sinai and then going and taking part in training activities facilitated by the Revolutionary Guards in Iran," Spyer said.
Islamic Jihad terrorists are amassing an upgraded weapons cache, which includes heavier and more powerful roadside bombs meant to target tanks and heavy machinery weighing more than 60 tons.
The deadly, 175-pound bombs can penetrate nearly a foot of armored steel.
Iran has also equipped Islamic Jihad with longer-range rockets, dubbed "Jerusalem rockets," which can target populations five to seven miles away.
Rockets now reach the coastal city of Ashkelon and will soon threaten areas not far from Tel Aviv, and they're working on extending the range from 11 to 13 miles.
While the world presses Israel for an illusive two-state solution for Arabs and Jews, the jihadists embrace no such vision. To them, all the land from the shores of the Mediterranean to the Jordan River is an Islamic Waqf [religious trust], and the Zionist enemy [Israel] must find itself a different place to exist.
The Islamists, bent on continuing their jihad ["holy" war] until they fully liberate "Palestine," are driven to martyrdom by a religious fervor to please Allah.
"When we put our uniforms on, nothing will stop us. We feel we are about to meet Allah," one Palestinian told CBN News.
The recent attack in Mumbai is the latest deadly reminder of what radical Islamists can do with training, money and coordination.
Spyer believes the clash could last 20 more years.
"It's an ideology that is right now on the way up," he said. "It's an ideology that is at war with the West, and first and foremost, the West, I think, has to realize it is at war. It's got a real war on its hands," he said.

Obama gives Medal of Honor to 24 vets from 3 wars
WASHINGTON -- They were heroes who didn't get their due.
On Tuesday, 24 ethnic or minority U.S. soldiers who performed bravely under fire in three of the nation's wars finally received the Medal of Honor that the federal government concluded should have been awarded a long time ago.
The servicemen -- Hispanics, Jews and African Americans -- were identified after a congressionally mandated review to ensure that eligible recipients of the country's highest recognition for valor were not bypassed due to prejudice.
Only three of the 24 were alive for President Barack Obama to drape the medals and ribbons around their necks.
The three surviving recipients -- Vietnam veterans Jose Rodela, Melvin Morris and Santiago Erevia -- received a prolonged standing ovation at Obama's side.
Their faces were set in somber acknowledgment of the honor.

SALEM — Salem County's "new" courthouse — located at 92 Market St. — is actually starting to get a little old.
The building is nearly 50 years old, and its age has started to show over the last few years.
It had become commonplace to see stained ceiling tiles and buckets catching rain because the roof was starting to leak.
The courthouse's 47-year-old elevator had become a bit of a joke because of the door constantly jamming, Freeholder Director Julie Acton said.
"It's embarrassing," she said. "But sometimes you don't have the money to make improvements or there are other priorities."
However, over the last four years the freeholder board has made it a priority to invest in the courthouse to ensure it was a positive representation of the county.
Nearly $900,000 has been put into the building over the last four years, and a few of those projects have either just recently finished or are about to get crossed off the list. The funds came from money allocated for other projects in the past that was later transferred to the county's capital budget, according to public works director Jeff Ridgway.
A $131,000 project was complete in December to replace the courthouse's entire roof.
The buildings pipes were raised from under the basement floor to the basement's ceiling to avoid future leaking problems.
"We would have to jackhammer up the floor every year when something broke," Ridgway said.
"It cost us money because of the breakage," Acton said. "This eliminates future breakage and the massive repair bills."
The courthouse elevator is also getting a complete overhaul. Everything from the engine to the finish on the walls is being replaced.
"It was a problem off and on," Ridgway said. "Nothing too serious, like, no extractions, but we had problems with door closures."
The elevator upgrade cost about $100,000, but will increase safety and ADA compliance, Acton said. The project should be completed in about two weeks.
The projects aren't just limited to the courthouse either. Acton said the county is constantly working to keep all of its buildings in good shape.
The next building on the list is the former health department located at 98 Market St. Often referred to as "the white building" it originally housed the offices of county clerk and surrogate.
Crews are slated to begin restoration work on its white sandstone finish this week.

Mercy Ministries: Lives transformed. Hope restored.
Mercy Ministries provides opportunities for young women to experience God's unconditional love, forgiveness and life-transforming power. After visiting the UK home, Grace caught up with Arianna Walker, Executive Director of Mercy Ministries UK.
How do you give opportunities for young women to experience God's unconditional love, forgiveness and life-transforming power?
By providing a six month residential, Christian discipleship programme, free of charge, and in partnership with that girl's local church. We are open for any women aged 18 to 28, who is struggling with what we call life controlling issues: eating disorders, self-harming, depression, the effects of abuse. We help them by equipping them with the tools that the Bible has made available to us: forgiveness; renewing the mind; time and space to actually connect with God themselves, and work through the root issues of the things they are facing.
What is the most central thing to what you do?
Jesus. I say that without hesitation. It's not the strength of the programme or the lovely countryside or the kind and happy staff that sets people free, it's Jesus. What we've created here is an environment where Jesus is really difficult to miss.
How many people have you helped?
We opened here in the UK in 2006, since then 150 girls have been through the programme, and that's going to increase because we started off with only ten bed, but in the last 18 months we have increased up to 20 beds so we are now able to help around 40 women a year. Those women come from all over the UK and sometimes from Europe. We are wanting to increase in size and be able to have other homes in the future.
You said you work with women, who are your core outreach?
The body of Christ, yes that takes the form of the women in terms of the residential programme, but we feel like the answer to the needs of our society are going to come through the local church and our heart as a ministry is to come alongside churches of every denomination, size, and location in the UK, to help them help the women that are in their church. We do that by providing the residential programme, but also, we provide resources, prayer and training for church leaders, ministry leaders and youth workers,. We do whatever we can to strengthen the church's response to the brokenness of our society.
Does your organisation take a lot of financial support to run?
Yes. We have got three core values in terms of the principles that we are built on: we don't charge for any part of the programme at all, we give ten percent of all unrestricted donations away and we don't take any government funding that would dilute the message of the gospel. That's pretty much the craziest business plan you have ever heard: we don't charge our clients, we give money away and we're fussy about where it comes from. Our funding comes entirely from the Christian world, so we have to raise our own funds. Our budget this year is just shy of £700,000. It costs £12,000 for one girl to go through the programme of six months. We do that with individual people giving £5, £10, £20 a month into our work. We also do sponsored events, last year 40 people did a skydive and we raised just under £100,000 with that. We do lots of speaking events at women's conferences and places like that, so we often collect offerings as well. There are lots of different places our income comes from. Christian trust funds too, and businesses.
How do you keep God at the centre even when times are hard for the organisation as a whole?
That is exactly when we keep God at the centre: when times are hard. It's not even a conscience decision, it is what and who we are. There comes a point in your journey as a Christian where you are so far outside of your comfort zone and beyond what you are capable of doing in your own strength and with your own resources, that you have no choice but to trust God. It's like Paul says, "I will boast about my weaknesses, because in my weakness Your strength is made perfect." We are so aware that the brokenness that these girls face is far beyond human response, we can't heal their wounds. We can't heal girls who have been raped, and abused, and tormented: there is no human response to that. We have to go to God, and we have to lead them to God because He is the only one who can heal them, so that keeps us very centred on God.
Where and how did your organisation start?
It started 30 years ago in America, by a woman called Nancy Alcorn. She had been working in prisons and child services for 8 years. In that time she became very convinced of the futility of throwing money, resources and time at people's problems . It was just treatment and not transformation because she wasn't able to share her faith: she wasn't able to have Jesus at the centre. She saw people's lives continue in a cycle of destruction over and over and over again. God really convicted her through Isaiah 61, which is a scripture that our ministry is built on, it's about setting the captives free and healing the broken-hearted. That mandate was given to the church of Jesus Christ, not to government agencies, so she started the first home just with a few girls in Monroe, Louisiana, in 1983, since then Mercy Ministries has grown to 4 homes in the US, 1 in Canada, 1 in New Zealand, and this first home here in the UK.
What are your plans for the future?
We've got lots of plans for the future. We see growth to reach the need that is out there, we see more beds, we need to increase our voice into the issues that women face, we need to increase our ability to equip the church in responses to those issues. We are excited about our plans to expand probably into the South of England with a new home, and even homes in Europe over the coming years.
How can people get involved with your work?
There is so many ways, they can contact us, go to our website which is www.MercyMinistries.co.uk but in short: we need prayer, we value prayer cover, we need people to pray with us about what we do. We love people to partner with us financially on a monthly basis, even £2 a month, its not much but if everyone does a little bit it really does make a difference. People who know our work well often want to adopt us as their chosen charity and fund raise for us in their own communities: some people do coffee mornings, and cake stalls and fashion shows; little ways of gathering people together and speaking to them about Mercy, and collecting money. There's so many different ways, it is definitely worth a visit to the website to find out more.
Why do you personally do this?
That's a long story, but in short, because my sister is a Mercy graduate. She went through the Mercy programme before we had a home here in the UK. She was the first girl to go and be accepted onto the programme in Nashville, Tennessee. They'd never accepted a girl from outside of the US before, but our family had got to a point where we didn't know what else to do with her. She was self-harming, she tried to kill herself, she was taking drugs, at the time we didn't know. She was a Christian: brought up in a Christian home, her parents were pastors, and that's a very familiar story for a lot of our girls. She was met at the school gate by a guy 10/15 years older than her, and he groomed her into a sexually abusive relationship when she was only 12. She was in a relationship with him for 3 years until she came to live with me, and when she did I handed her one of Nancy Alcorn's books, and that was the start of our passion for Mercy Ministries. After 8 months of the programme she came back and her life was totally transformed, so I know this isn't just a good idea, this is a God idea, and He uses Mercy Ministries to heal people.
As the executive director what do you do?
My role is to oversee the vision of Mercy Ministries be established here in the UK, so I have the responsibility to ensure that what we do is what we are supposed to be doing, I report to a UK board, I oversee two directors, one in charge of the charity: the business side of what we do, and the other who is in charge of the project: the house and the girls. I spend my time at speaking engagements, doing interviews and writing books. I'm currently writing my second book all about stories of God's transformation through Mercy.
Our theme at BFT this month is 'Hurt, Pain and Hope in Despair' what can you say about that?
Everybody experiences those emotions. Whether you are a Christian or not, whether you are the nicest person that has ever lived, or the most evil, we are all victims of the pain this world carries. We all face adversity and trials, but when we are Christians we are not without hope. We have a God who has equipped us, it says in the Bible that He has given us everything we need for life's godliness. We have everything we need to be able to navigate through the rough terrain of life. We have His peace, grace, mercy and love available to us. We can overcome fear, and be free, by forgiveness, from bitterness,. We can renew our minds so that they are free from the lies that torment us. We can live life at a totally different level even though we face the same things as everybody else. Christians need to, and have a responsibility to, become whole so that we can bring wholeness to a very broken world.
You say it is by God's strength that you continue, but are there other things that you see and experience which inspire you to not give up?
People. To be honest, mainly the girls on our programme, just what they face, the giants that they take down, the courage that they show when they overcome some very traumatic experiences that we don't even want to imagine. Yet, everyday they choose to forgive, to love, the choose life, they choose to allow God to take their pain and turn it into something of great value to use t make this world better for not just them but the people they share their life with too. Every time I see them, I take their testimony, yesterday one was crying and was just bitter and angry, and today she has allowed God to change her. I just look at them and think we've got to keep doing what we are doing because lives are being changed and that's what it's all about.
If you could say one thing to our readers, what would it be?
Whatever you are facing, whatever you are going through, however hopeless it may seem there is always hope and there is a God who cares, is available to you., loves you and has a plan for your future. Don't give up.
Arianna is an amazing and
inspiring person to speak to, filled with such passion for the essential work that she does. Mercy is a powerful and important resource to the church, it is incredible to see a pocket of hope growing amidst such dark situations.

A good part of the country has experienced some really high temperatures lately. That means AC units and fans are getting real workouts. This calls to mind the video above in which some guys give their industrial fan from Big Ass Fans a real "workout." The quality of the video isn't that great, but the quality of the fan is clear.
And if you're wondering how the company came up with its, um, interesting name, here's the explanation from its website:
"We started in 1999 as the HVLS Fan Company, but after three years in business, we finally had to bow to the sentiments of our customers and concede that we do, in fact, design and manufacture some really Big Ass Fans. It was, therefore, a natural step to change our name to Big Ass Fan Company, and to 'adopt' our mascot, Fanny the Donkey, shortly thereafter."
Who says you can't have a little fun in this game?

A 24-year-old Altoona man is in serious condition after slamming into the side of an Amtran bus on Juniata Gap Road, police said.
The bus was crossing Juniata Gap Road from East Cherry Avenue onto North Eighth Avenue at about 12:57 p.m. when the motorcyclist, who was traveling from the direction of East Chestnut Avenue, struck the right front side of the bus, just behind the wheel, police said.
Police had not identified the cyclist nor the driver late Friday, pending further investigation.

Altoona Police Cpl. Sam McClure takes photographs on Friday on Juniata Gap Road where a motorcycle broadsided an Amtran bus. Please see Page A3 for the full story.
Altoona police closed Juniata Gap Road between East Chestnut and East 21st avenues for several hours as crash reconstructionist Sgt. Daniel DeAntonio and other officers took measurements and mapped out the scene.
The motorcyclist was taken by AMED to Altoona Regional Trauma Center in serious condition, police said. The motorcyclist was wearing a half helmet, or shell, police said. The cyclist was later flown to Pittsburgh for further treatment.
Amtran General Manager Eric Wolf said Amtran is investigating the crash, one he said was serious enough to require drug and alcohol testing for the driver as pursuant to Federal Transit Authority guidelines.
Based on protocol, Amtran pulled the driver off duty with pay for testing, Wolf said. The driver will be off duty at least until the results come back, which will probably be a day or two.
"The driver is a longtime employee with an excellent safety record," Wolf said.
Once police have finished their questioning of the driver and review of the crash, Amtran supervisors trained in accident investigation will speak with the driver and try to find out what happened, Wolf said.
Wolf indicate the bus was headed toward Ivyside and coming down East Cherry Avenue from Fairview at the time. The motorcycle approached from the bus's right on Juniata Gap Road, Wolf said, but Amtran is getting conflicting information about what happened beyond that.
If testing shows there were drugs or alcohol involved, Amtran follows a policy it has in place, Wolf said. He didn't elaborate if the testing indicates no drugs or alcohol, but the driver is at fault anyway, whether the driver is subject to progressive discipline, as outlined for preventable accidents.
The progressive discipline, a four-step program, involves a written warning, a second written warning, suspension and then termination, Wolf said.
If an accident is severe enough, Amtran can go straight to suspension and termination, Wolf said. If the driver was not at fault, Amtran tries to get him or her back to driving as soon as possible.
As of 2 p.m., bus service was back to normal, Wolf said.

Memories of Pete Seeger in East Berlin
In 1945, every Saturday night, we sang his songs, with those of Woody, Leadbelly, Paul Robeson and Ernst Busch, at the Folksay square dance and song sessions in the Furriers' Hall.
1948: Pete Seeger and Henry Wallace
I heard Pete Seeger many times, but the most stirring was his 1948 appearance in Buffalo, N.Y., at a rally for Henry Wallace.
Pete's rug ate my interview and other Seeger tales
In 1952 the Weavers sang at my high school. What an eye-opener it was for me!
Where have all the flowers gone?
I heard about Pete Seeger's death while driving to downtown Philadelphia. If I wasn't on the expressway, I would have pulled over to wipe my eyes and clear my head.

Shem Creek could be dredged next year, and the Morris Island impoundment could be used to hold the materials.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has applied for about $1 million in funds to deepen the entrance to the historic shrimp boat and popular recreation boat waterway in Mount Pleasant. The dredging would take place in 2014 if funding is provided, said David Warren, project manager. No money has been awarded yet.
Mount Pleasant would "piggyback" on the project to deepen the creek near its dockside park, Warren said.

Toook off from Boston for a short trip to ACY. It was a chartered flight from S & S casinos books by Harrah's.
The price was great seeing it was our first time to ACY. My wife and I go to Vegas once a year but can't do it this year so it's the next best thing.
Ryanair (Gold Members) From what hear greeted us along with 113 people. Flight crew was great. There were 3 F/A and I think the reason why were to the fact alot of older people in the 60's.
Plane was a 737-200 and it was showing it's age inside and out. The seats were comfortable and clean but the front of the plane and rear you could see the age. The cockpit door was open when boarding and wow talk about going back in time compared to a newer 738.
Flight lasted about 55 mins and had a seat over the wing row 12A. You could see a few repainted spots on the left wing. Cloudy all the way till about 50 miles out and then you could see the ocean below. Alot of white caps and an ocean liner that appeared to be about an inch long at arms lenght.
Landing was smooth and as soon as the rear wheels hit the Thrust-reversers were deployed. I would hear a lady behind me say how she hates when they put the breaks on LOL....
Since it was a junket trip there were 3 tour buses waiting for us and off we went. It was 10:30am when we arrived at the Showboat, and we had till wait till 3pm for hotel checkin.
Out to the Boardwalk (as if was our 1st trip to AC) and was nothing like we were told it was. We found it to be clean, not dirty and unsafe as many told us.
About 11:30am we headed to the Buffet. I took out my money and noticed my drivers license missing. I looked everywhere 3 times. I went to the front desk and made a call to security and nothing. I was given the # to ACY security and called them again nothing same with Boston Security.
At 3pm we had a group check in. I told the group tour leader and she promised to call Gold Members and the bus company. She said not to worry about the return flight as I was checked in through Boston.
Well We never did find it and was told the horror show I would have getting a replacement.
Gambling was not good. The wife and I saw many jackpots for decent amounts but never game close. Drink service was nothing short of great, and the drinks were strong. We always tip $1.50 for a drink not bad seeing they cost alot more at the bar.
About 2 hours before we left we were on the Boarkwalk heading to the Showboat and low and behold a Seagull decided to choose me as their target. Like a precision dive-bomber he managed to shit right in my shirt pocket.
When my wife stopped laughing she said it was good luck. After going to the restroom to clean up (our luggage was not available for a change) we hit the slots. I put in a $100.00 bill and played a few hands and hit nothing so I told the wife to play the rest out and again no luck.
Tour bus came and we were back to the airport at 4PM for our 6pm flight back to Boston. I told the ticket counter I lost my ID and was given a ticken marked "SSSS". Off to Security and was wanded and patted down and went through the whole 9 yards. The Security Officer could not say they were sorry enough, I said hey it;'s your job and understandable and it was not a problem.
We boarded the plane at 5:30pm. At 5:58 we were told one person was missing and we would wait a few mins. A few mins later the Capt said we would be delayed 30 mins as a small plane landed and blew a tire. I could see the small plane from my seat along with alot of trucks with lights. It seemed like a mooney.
Well 30 mins later and the Capt said it would be 30 mins longer. Something must have hit the older people LOL as now I could hear theones on the right side saying they took off our luggage and wanted to know why. The F/A said they did not the older people said they did too. Finally the F/A said they did it to sell it on Ebay LOL, I died laughing. Then some said there was a problem with the plane as we had a mechanic hopping a right back.
After an Hour and 45 min delay we took off. We landed in Bos 40 mins later, come to find out the Capt just got his license and this was his 1st trip as Captain. I never got to congratulate him as the cockpit door never opened due to them having to return to Pittsburg.
Push back at the gate in Boston
a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank">
Not all the pics are showing up and I don't know why sorry about that.

He was a major donor to the state-of-the-art Egan Engineering and Science Research Center on Northeastern's campus. He served as helicopter crewman in the United States Marine Corps during the end of the Korean War, he worked at Lockheed Martin, Honeywell, and Intel before founding EMC Corporation.
In 1979, he founded EMC with Roger Marino, his college roommate. The two initially sold office furniture in order to raise money to build the company with only a handful of employees. EMC eventually became Massachusetts's largest technology company and had more than 40,000 employees by 2009.
In 1994, Inc. Magazine named Egan "Master Entrepreneur of the Year." He also received the Medal of Honor Society's Patriot Award, the Jewish National Fund Tree of Life Award and was one of Irish America magazine's "Top 100."

Study homeopathy contained by college? can you capture a apposite situation and generate alot of money beside this?
Great choice in choosing Homeopathy "The True Art of Healing ". After finishing your Studies you own to practice and become a Healer whom people trust and respect . Homeopathy is adjectives about health-giving people, not making loads of money, I am afraid. Making money in need healing is the Allopathic process :-) and that's why you see people turning more towards Homeopathy and away from the useless conventional medication and doctors nowadays. I am a Homeopath myself and making money out of Healing empire is not my objective I do it merely to heal them in need any fees, I know you will find it hard to believe but I never within my whole life span, asked anyone for any fees in change or any other way.
What is wrong beside the Doctors of today is, they are just in that to make money near no thought of becoming true healers which should be their first objective contained by the first place. Its a sad state of affairs I must vote.
Become a true Healer and prosperity will automatically follow, your concentration should be on healing and not the money within the patients pockets. I hope I have made my point clear for your sake.
Take Care and God Bless !
within are many school for "alternative medicine". acupuncture and traditional chinese medicine, herbalism, naturopathy, squeeze,... just be sure to check out their accreditation.
its totally bullshit when populace say u should not receive money.u need money for everything-food, house, instruction and health expenses. also the reality that homeopaths dont make money is bullshit as they do so much of adverstising which is unacceptable by allopathic doctors.
regarding homeopathy, its a right field though not beside much scientific evidence to prove as to how it works. as you would expect u can earn decent money if u r contained by india. try to be good surrounded by ur subject and study hard and brand patients free of illness.
also remember that homeopathy also have its limitations like allopathic medicine. and so be open to both the well brought-up and bad points almost each system of drug. no system of medicine is superior or inferior to another system. adjectives systems of medicine strive to eradicate human suffering.
Most individuals studying alternative and complimentary therapies started because allopathic pills failed them or some one they loved (or both). I know of not a soul who is "in it for the money". Can you brand a living doing this? Most certainly. Will you become financially rich? Probably not contained by the short term. Possibly contained by the long term. While the bazaar is certainly growing, it is still see as "alternative" or "supplemental" and not "primary" care. If you're devoted to what you do and are completely good at it, the money will follow. It will probably, however, help yourself to several years.
If your goal is to kind a boatload of money, become a nursing home administrator. If you have an overwhelming, deep-seeded desire to serve humanity, study alternative therapy.

The Stratford boys tennis team enters the postseason on a high note.
The Knights (8-6, 4-4 Region 7-AAAA) blanked Goose Creek 7-0 in a region match on Thursday.
They are slated to travel to Beaufort for the opening round of the Class AAAA playoffs on Tuesday.
Against Goose Creek, the Knights dropped just a total of 18 games.

Gizmon iCA iPhone Case turns your device into a true camera with interchangeable lenses

There's no denying this looks cool. Even thought I got a Canon 8MP two-three years old.
2. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
If you are going to carry something around your neck like that, wouldn't it be better to carry an actual camera with REAL lenses? I mean who in their right minds would ever use this? It's a case!
How stupid are you going to look holding that thing next to your ear so you can talk on it when you get a call. What people make & buy for the iPhone baffles me. lol
3. steev57 (Posts: 8; Member since: 01 Dec 2011)
Things like this make part of me ashamed to have an iPhone. $65 for the case, $30 for a strap and $45 for fake lenses? I'll never understand people.
4. lukasound (Posts: 152; Member since: 16 Nov 2011)
it's just a gadget... a toy... it looks fun.
and toys for apple lovers have to be expensive, because they don't understand if it's any good unless it has a big pricetag. who cares about features or quality...

Controlled grazing, intensive grazing, management intensive grazing, rotational grazing and intensive rotational grazing are only a few of the terms to describe intensive grazing.
