A weekend in Milwaukee for TV's Adam Richman
Adam Richman, late of the eating-challenge show "Man v. Food," has been filming around Milwaukee this weekend for his new show on the Travel Channel, "Fandemonium."
It's a show centered on uber-fan gatherings around the country and this weekend has been focused on the Milwaukee Brewers and Miller Park (the Brewers put out a call awhile back, seeking "superfans" with elaborate tailgating operations for filming this weekend). »Read Full Blog Post
Riverwest 24 gets neighborhood rolling
Riverwest is just one exceedingly cool neighborhood, but never as much as during the Riverwest 24, an around-the-clock, full-day bike ride. Born through the movement of community block watches, the event is fun whether you're riding or not. It also brings new faces into the neighborhood, strengthens ties among neighbors and encourages the notion of urban biking.
Described as an "exercise in stamina, teamwork and merriment," the Riverwest 24, or RW24 for short, starts at 7 p.m. Friday and ends at 7 p.m. Saturday. »Read Full Article
Etheridge's voice adds spice to musical comfort food
Melissa Etheridge has definitely had an interesting life: coming out, becoming a mother, recovering from breast cancer. Saturday night at the Riverside Theater, she mentioned being cancer-free for nine years, but her performance was almost entirely informed by being a girl from Kansas who was raised on classic rock, rather than by her later experiences.
Playing for more than two hours, Etheridge clearly wanted her show to be as much about the music as possible. She touched on pretty much every minor and major hit, and the resulting set was like a huge meal of ham and eggs, burgers and fries or any other basic meat-and-potatoes combination. »Read Full Article(5)

Many events cancelled
Though the martial law does not affect planned social and entertainment events, many events have still been cancelled until further notice. Among them is the Now Live Judprakai Concert that is held every Sunday at Siam Discovery's Discovery Plaza and broadcast live on Now 26 channel. The Thai rock band Flure was scheduled to perform.
The National Discovery Museum Institute has also postponed the press conference scheduled for tomorrow to launch its Muse Pass at Siam Centre. The Muse Pass was meant to make the exploration in Bangkok's old city easier with just one ticket offering entry into several museums, including Rattanakosin Exhibition Hall, Museum Siam and King Prajadhipok Museum.
The Millennium Hilton Bangkok has also decided to cancel its eight anniversary celebrations scheduled for May 28.

Restaurateur Pandl's daughter back for seconds with family memoir
Julia Pandl learned a few things from her father, George, the late restaurateur: Don't drink or eat in front of the customers, and don't consume anything from a hotel room minibar - it's too expensive!

Music, singing shine in 'Phantom of the Opera' at Marcus Center
In any production of "The Phantom of the Opera," things first really kick into gear when Christine descends into the Phantom's lair, lured by that intoxicating voice that's already firmly lodged inside her mind.
It's still more thrilling — in the revamped and lavishly designed touring "Phantom" now at the Marcus Center — to watch Christine take that precarious, vertigo-inducing plunge along a series of seemingly free-floating stairs, which emerge one by one from a revolving, two-story turret. »Read Full Article

Temple Run is a video game developed by the manufacturer Imangi Studios, based in Washington is available on devices iOS, like iPhone and iPad devices and Android. In December 2011 he was among the 50 applications downloaded in iTunes, and probably the first free between iOS applications. Initially downloadable to 99 cents, from 2012 is free; developers earn from buying extensions, upgrades and powerups.
In January 2013 it published a sequel, called Temple Run 2. The game is an explorer in his escape after stealing an idol from a temple, chased by giant monkeys. The player will have to run along a route full of obstacles and perform various actions to avoid them.
The barriers consist of walls, ravines, tree trunks and roots: the explorer can jump, slide, or move to the side to avoid them. The same moves also help to collect coins scattered along the route, which are expendable in the game menu to buy skills, bonus and other power-ups .
The route changes each game, because the game engine generates a different one each time placing obstacles random; the game is not therefore a true end, because the game ends when it bumps into an obstacle or when you end off a cliff.
In June 2012 the producers of Temple Run put on the market a spin-off fee inspired by the movie Disney Pixar Brave - . In place of the explorer hero of the original, here is the princess Merida on the run from the demons of the temple but not by his enemy, the bear Mor'du. Although the setting is moved from the temple to the Highlands of Scotland .
The graphics are definitely more cured of Temple Run original and the protagonist speaks, commenting on the actions of the game and making a few jokes from the film. The gameplay is rather essentially the same, but over run, dodge obstacles and collect coins the player must also use the bow and arrows of Merida, in special sections where you have to hit the targets. In any update was also introduced the novelty of the world of Wisps: when you see a particular icon, the player is transported in an alternative environment to play, where instead of the coins are of little goblins.
Finally, instead of the characters you unlock costumes and, at a cost of 500,000 coins, you can unlock the character of King Fergus, which slightly changes the gameplay.
In the gaming market, defined store, can be purchased the characters used in the game through the coins collected.
Microsoft had announced that all users who have upgraded to Windows 10 would find pre-installed in the operating system the game Candy Crush Saga, a title very impressed by it iOS and Android. A few days before the official launch of Windows 10, Candy Crush Saga has landed in the new Windows Store and the Insider can already download it and try it on their PC.
To highlight that Candy Crush Saga is distributed in the form of universal application and between notes of the board of the Store expressly states that in order to download the game you must have Windows 10. The game, developed by King and localized in Italian , this will not be the only software company to land in the new Windows Store for Windows 10. In the future, will come more and more famous titles distributed in the form of universal applications. The intention of Microsoft to distribute within its new operating system a series of games is very clear. This is definitely an attempt by the Redmond to immediately more attractive Windows 10 , especially to all those who use a lot of the PC to play.
A choice, however, he did turn up their noses at more than one analyst. Many users stamped, in fact, as "crapware" the choice to force the installation of Candy Crush Saga in Windows 10. The game, however, should be able to be safely removed from Windows 10 if not prove acceptable to users.

8/10 Ian Staff review, 30 May 2013
Fifth album by Camera Obscura on 4AD, 'Desire Lines' sees the Glasgow band sounding more polished and fresh, this is a great pop record with a quite a grown up sound, 'This Is Love (feels Alright)' is a lovely slice of Belle And Sebastian indie with a nice clarinet tune and there's some great keyboard work on 'New Year's Resolution', with the beautiful tones of singer Tracyanne Campbell making this another great Camera Obscura record.
With guest vocals from Neko Case and My Morning Jacket's Jim James 'Desire Lines' is a perfect mix of danceable indie pop and country-esque ballads in the same vein as Trespassers William, The Delgados and Yo La Tengo, the superb guitar twinklings of Kenny Mckeeve and a little splash of horns on 'I Missed Your Party' make for a fine record indeed and one that fans will keep coming back to again and again.

Original Render:
The colors are very eye catching (in a good way).
I like the emphasis of pink on the render.
The blurring looks good, maybe try having it in a set pattern(it seems a bit all over)?
2 Attachment(s)
There isn't any real flow, and the render's been sized down a bit too muchs for the canvas size *
The colours are very eye catching and vibrant, great job with them. It's a nice piece, I'd personally love it a lot more if the render was blended in, and a bit larger*
* = Although it's a very skinny tall render to begin with, and I doubt my ideas above about the sizing would work unless you just used the head/hand. So you can ignore those comments :D

NBA teams off to quick offseason starts include those who have upgraded their rosters the most.
These upgrades include the signings of All-Star-caliber free agents, along with making significant trades and, in some cases, adding valuable prospects in the draft.
While the Detroit Pistons and New Orleans Pelicans made significant signings by adding players like Josh Smith and Tyreke Evans, respectively, the teams highlighted on this list have made the smartest combinations of moves for both short-term and long-term success.
They are each listed according to who among them now has the best chance of winning an NBA championship by the totality of the moves made this offseason.

It's easier to prevent some diseases than treat them. Immunizations protect us from many harmful and fatal illnesses. A simple shot may not only help you stay healthy, but it guards those around you - especially those with weaker immune systems, such as children and the elderly. Protect others by protecting yourself: make sure you're immunized.
My HealtheVet offers two features that record your immunizations: "VA Immunizations" and "Track Health."
Use both of these features side-by-side for the most effective way to organize your immunization history - and reveal what immunizations you might need. Don't forget to note any adverse reactions you may have had to a vaccination. You can do this in the "Allergies" section of your My HealtheVet account.
All of your immunization and allergy information is important to share with your health care team so that they are aware of what you have taken and how your body has responded. By using Blue Button, you can download the data, print out a copy and take it into your next appointment. Get immunized, track the information and build a strong defense for both you and those you love.
To access the VA Immunization feature, Veterans must be receiving health care services from VA, have registered on My HealtheVet as a "VA Patient" and have a Premium My HealtheVet account. To get an upgraded Premium My HealtheVet account, you will need to go through authentication. This is a process by which VA verifies a Veterans' identity before allowing access to his or her VA health record. Learn more about upgrading your My HealtheVet account through In-Person or Online Authentication.

Following the Canon's Yeoman's Tale (CYT), Chaucer's Manciple's Tale (MancT) constitutes Fragment IX and the penultimate story in the Canterbury Tales, preceding the didactic sermon of the Parson's Tale. The dating of the tale is contested, as those critics who think it a poor tale consider it a product of Chaucer's early years. For critics who see the tale as a more accomplished work or a parody of John Gower's version of the story in the Confessio Amantis, it suggests a date post-1390; Baker argues for a date between 1388 and 1399 (11-13). Opening with a sordid interchange between the Manciple and the Cook in the Prologue, it is presumably a short retelling …

Norm Page remembers the goal like it was scored yesterday, but how could any proud parent forget? The most dramatic moments in sports are forever saved to memory and available for further examination, as if they can be pulled from the filing cabinet in our brains until eternity.
The United States' rivalry with Canada stretches across all levels of hockey, men and women, boys and girls. The seventh defenseman for the Buffalo Regals has the same disdain for the Markham Majors that the first-line center for Team USA has when playing Canada in the Olympics.
We don't like them.
They don't like us.
So, yeah, maybe extra juices already were flowing when St. Mary's of Lancaster senior Adam Page gave the Americans a 1-0 lead over Canada in the 2009 world championships of sled hockey in the Czech Republic. Sure enough, Canada forced overtime with a goal late in the final minutes of the third period.
Neither team scored in OT. Each team failed on its first five attempts in the shootout. Finally, Page grabbed the puck on the sixth attempt and scored for a 2-1 victory, giving him the go-ahead goal and the shootout winner while handing the U.S. its first-ever victory over Canada in the world championships.
"It was something you never, ever, ever forget," Norm Page said. "It was crazy. He was 17 years old, representing his country and doing all these things. It's truly a dream come true for him. As a parent, to watch your kid live his dream, it's powerful, powerful stuff."
It was the biggest goal of Adam's career, but it was not The Goal. The goal was to be like the other kids and, in that respect, he failed miserably. He's anything but a normal kid given what he's overcome and what he's accomplished.
Page suffered from spina bifida, which left him paralyzed from the kneecap down since birth. He treated the disorder like a minor nuisance, a speed bump. It has become his blessing, his ticket to hockey around the world. He's already played in South Korea, Japan and Norway. He won a gold medal in the 2010 Paralympics in Vancouver.
Next up: Sochi.
"When we put on that USA jersey, we're like any other sport at that level," Page said. "Our compete level is just the same. We're there representing the front of the jersey. If you don't come out to play, you're toast. The other teams are just as competitive. On any given night, you're dead."
Strange, but he could have been dead shortly after he was delivered seven weeks premature, weighing 5 pounds, five ounces, in 1992. He entered the world with his lower spine exposed, a disorder often detected on sonograms but overlooked in his case. In the hours after he was born, he was susceptible to infections that could have killed him.
Exceeding expectations
His parents watched him overcome 12 surgeries. If he only knew how many sleepless night his parents endured and how many tears they shed during his childhood. Norm and Sandy Page wanted their son to lead a normal life, just like the other kids. Instead, he exceeded the expectations of any parent.
In the interest of full disclosure, if not to prove that Western New York operates by two degrees of separation and not six, I first met him when he was 3 years old. I bought my first house in Hamburg from his parents in 1995, when he was in the early stages of mobilization. Our paths didn't cross again until earlier this month.
Who knew he would become so productive?
He's 21 years old now, a sports-management major at Medaille College who is scheduled to graduate next year. His capacity for falling down and getting back up, figuratively and literally, sits at the core of a young man who refused to use crutches as a crutch, who proved his disability was trivial when standing alongside his ability.
Sharing his gifts
In recent years, Page has evolved into a motivational public speaker. Companies have summoned him to share his story with their employees with the idea they can become less whiny and more productive. He's a humble, intelligent person whose strengths from the neck up compensate for his weaknesses from the kneecap down.
"He has hidden gifts," his father said. "People are given gifts that other people don't believe are gifts. They think they're tragedies or obstacles. For us, for Adam, we think they're gifts. And they really do bear fruit. Adam truly understands that."
Hockey is part of Adam's success, but a small part. He became smitten with the sport after his father took him to a Sabres game in 1996-97. Three years later, when he was 10, Adam joined a sled-hockey program in Buffalo. He was hooked on the pace of skating from the moment he took the ice.
His first sled weighed 50 pounds and was made after his father unscrewed blades from hockey skates and attached them to plywood. He scored his first goal in his first tournament and never looked back. He kept plugging, kept working, kept improving like any other player with the same desire.
Page is competitive, athletic and strong. His upper-body strength comes from years of pulling himself along the ice. He also worked out with Sports Performance Training in the Northtown Center at Amherst. He can bench press 245 pounds, you know, just like the other kids.
"The craziest work ethic I've ever seen was Drew Stafford," said his trainer, John Opfer. "We can argue his goals or his production, but that guy is a maniac. Adam is right there with him. For an hour, his heart races like a rabbit. He doesn't stop."
Sled hockey is similar to standup hockey with its defensive systems and forechecking strategies. The game gets faster as sleds, now about 10 pounds, become lighter. It can look like smash-up derby with all the hitting. Four years ago, a line brawl against Russia was caught on a video that went viral. Page was on the bench.
"I remember trying to go out the door," he said, "and my coach pulling me back."
Buffalo has become a sled-hockey hotbed. Alexei Salamone was an international star who was left off the team. He was born in Russia after the disaster in Chernobyl, was rescued from an orphanage and grew up in Grand Island. He was excited about returning to Russia before falling victim to a youth movement.
A leader among men
Page, who made the national team at age 15, has evolved into one of its leaders. The Paralympics have become an extension of the Winter Games, and he'll travel to Sochi next month with the rest of the U.S. team. Every player on every team has overcome obstacles en route to the highest level.
He'll be joined by Paul Schaus, a Purple Heart winner from Cheektowaga fallen after an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan took both legs at the knee. Schaus' cousin, Nick, is playing professionally in Europe. Another cousin, Molly Schaus, is a goaltender for the U.S. women's team that won silver in Vancouver and will compete in Sochi.
Schaus is one of several military veterans on the U.S. team. Everybody comes with a story of tragedy and triumph. Captain Andy Yohe lost his legs while jumping a train as a kid. Goalie Jen Lee lost his in a motorcycle accident. Goalie Steve Cash beat cancer. Forward Brody Roybal was born without femurs.
Page believes he was fortunate to be born with the disorder and, therefore, never had a drastic change in his lifestyle. He participated in karate, rode horses and played baseball for challenged kids throughout his childhood. A few years ago, he took up downhill skiing to take his mind away from hockey.
He drives a car like anyone else, without hand controls. His parents were nervous about him driving after he passed his road test. Every morning, without Adam knowing, Norm Page trailed his son's car to school. A month passed before Norm stopped worrying, that Adam was, in fact, just an ordinary kid.
All along, that was The Goal.
"It's always been that way with him," Norm Page said. "If he didn't see the problem, we didn't either."
Norm, the kid is worth following.

In this book, they develop a coherent model for
The Loyalty Effect: The Hidden Force Behind Growth, Profits, and Lasting ValueReichheld lays out a new "economics of loyalty" that provides a framework where the "soft" elements of business--loyalty and learning--can be effectively linked to the hard science of cash flows and cost/benefit analysis.

Blogs Liberty and Power On the Road to FascismAug 16, 2009 10:44 am
On the Road to Fascism
Robert Scheer: I don't think the idea of nationalizing, as it's now being called--which means bailing out these banks, setting them straight, then letting them go private again, which is the model that everybody is using, and the people who get screwed are the people whose retirement funds had common or preferred shares and they get wiped out, and these bankers come out richer than ever at the other end--that's not a leftist idea and it's not socialism. This is what we used to, in Comparative Economic Systems, call fascism. It's putting government at the service of the big financial interests. That's what happened in Italy, that's what happened in Germany, that's what happened in Japan. . . .
Tony Blankley: What I don't understand is how my colleagues on this show, who I believe were for Obama, are now saying he's leading a fascist regime. Did he mislead them a few weeks ago when he was still running? . . .
Robert Scheer: To answer your question, I am disappointed in Barack Obama and I'm not quite sure what he's doing.

William Marina - 2/24/2009
Most of the world's major government's are now Corporatist to one degree or another, certainly in the United States.
Robert A. Brady's, Business as a System of Power (1943), a favorite of C. Wright Mills, was part of a study begun as early as 1934, at the height of the New Deal. Below are links to the book on the Internet.
New dealers in Japan under the American occupation in 1946, brought Japanese Corporatists from Manchukuo to run the Japanese Finance Ministry which they proceeded to do for the next half-century and beyond.
To what extent any such Corporatist political economies can be labeled Fascist, is a matter of opinion. Today's poll shows Obama popular with a wide swath of the nation, as well as abroad.
Herbert Hoover to some extent wrote in the 1920s seeking a different road for America, as WA Wms pointed out many years ago. What seems evident is that Obama appears willing to continue to extend this long-term trend, rather than reverse it! It is amazing that someone like Scheer would appear shocked at this! For almost a century this approach has become institutionalized in the US.

ACCEPT Research Project Announces First Results and Opens Special Interest Group
Ground-breaking research project in applying language technology to forum content announces first results and opens first phase of alpha release of technology to special interest group
The first results are in four main development areas:
• An integrated pre-editing plug-in for forum users. Powered by Acrolinx language checking functionality, this new plug-in is designed to gently encourage people who are writing content to address the most critical quality issues, whilst not asking too much of their time. Getting this balance right is one of the major challenges of the project.
• Pre-editing strategies for SMT: Acrolinx, Symantec and the University of Geneva have worked intensively on investigating the typical issues that arise, evaluating which issues can be corrected fully automatically without user interaction, and learning corrections or rewording from training corpora.
• Innovative developments around the SMT engine MOSES. This work, carried out at the University of Edinburgh, has focused on evaluating which combination of data leads to the best results for user-generated content and using factored models to deal with unknown words.
• The Evaluation API provides a flexible framework to collect user feedback from online content repositories such as user forums. The questions and answers used to elicit user feedback are defined in the ACCEPT Portal itself.
Fred Hollowood from Symantec said, "User-generated content in and around the social web is a vital part of the ongoing customer relationship. Technologies which rapidly globalize this communication are must have, so we are delighted to contribute to this important research area." "Machine translation is here to stay," commented Lori Thicke, CEO of Lexcelera. "This project is important because it's helping us build the technology to make MT even more useful to more global communities."
Francis Tsang, Director of Globalization at Adobe Systems, said, "As a major MT user and with a very strong strategy to support and leverage user-generated content in our product forums, Adobe is very excited to monitor this research and evaluate it in our own environment. Like Symantec we have a very active and global user community and are convinced that technology can help us support them even better."
Launching the ACCEPT Special Interest Group
Now that the first visible results are being delivered, the ACCEPT consortium is planning to get early feedback from potential users from outside the project. To this end, the project is establishing a Special Interest Group (SIG) and will give access to first members of the SIG in the first quarter of 2013. Additional members will be brought in through 2013. The project has had an excellent response from members of the two user communities targeted by the ACCEPT technology. High-tech tech companies mirroring the use case represented in the project by Symantec and large government and non-profit organizations to reflect the use case represented by Lexcelera and Translators without Borders.
Collaboration of leading partners in the field of language technology
ACCEPT joins Acrolinx, the leading provider of content optimization software based on natural language processing, together with the universities of Edinburgh and Geneva, both renowned for their research centers in the field of machine translation. Also participating are Symantec and Lexcelera, two highly experienced users of machine translation systems; Translators without Borders, founded by Lexcelera, and Symantec will add their extensive experience with online communities and internet forums.

J'Leon Love Challenges Gabe Rosado: Let's Do It Again!
By Ryan Burton
In June, middleweight contender J'Leon Love (15-0) was suspended for 6 months and had his win May 4th win over Gabriel Rosado changed to a no-contest as a result of his testing positive for a banned diuretic.
The fight between Love and Rosado was very close and ended in a split decision before being overturned. Some fans and members of the media questioned the final tallies and felt that Rosado had done enough to leave the ring with the victory.
Love recently spoke to BoxingScene.com and said that he wouldn't have a problem with facing Rosado again. In fact, he said that the first fight was so good that they should do it again.
"I would love to have a rematch. Why not? If people question it. Whether I won or he won, or it was a draw or whatever the case, I'm here. I'm a fighter man. Let's do it again. Let's make it happen again," Love said while praising Rosado for his spirited performance. Love would like to have the rematch to clarify who should be considered the winner.
"You're a great fighter and I'm talking here to you Rosado. Not taking away from your performance. You did a great job and put on a good fight for the fans. No more talking shit let's just make it happen again. Let's get a final decision and make it happen again. I'd love to do it again. That's for the boxing fans."
The 25-year-old Love accepts full responsibility for taking the diuretic and admits that he didn't realize how dangerous Furosemide can be. He said that he will put on a much better performance in a rematch if it comes to fruition.
"It doesn't (enhance your performance). A diuretic actually drains your body of the fluids in your body and it can actually kill you. That's why it is a banned substance. At the end of the day it actually took away from my performance instead of help my performance. Its not PEDs. Its a banned substance because it can kill you. If I knew the pills were such a serious thing I wouldn't have taken it. It is what it is and I did take it. I take full responsibility for it," Love told BoxingScene.com.
Love finished our conversation by reiterating his desire to set the record straight against Rosado. He said that he would love to clear the air and eliminate any doubt that some fans may have.
"As far as the fight I would love to clarify and have a real winner. Some boxing fans might say I won and some of his fans may say that he won. Whatever the case. If it's like that then let's do it again. And it was a hell of a fight. It was a great fight. I'm a fighter. He knocked me down and I got back up and came back stronger. Whatever it is, it was a good ass fight for boxing," Love stated.

Rosado needs to f**k love up!!!!!!!Comment by Mr. Philadel on 07-18-2013
[QUOTE=Bob Boss Monies;13567772][B][U][SIZE="3"]I think Rosado should take it. Not because I want to see it or because Love earned it. I just feel Gaby should be kicking his own ass for allowing the fight to get taken from him. Anyone…Comment by Jloro on 07-18-2013
[QUOTE=RawDawgHasSpokn;13567235]J'Leon Love is Turble. Rosado has more heart than talent but he still shouldn't take this fight unless its just to go for the KO. And to whoever said Love should face Golovkin ....thats premeditated murder and against the law.[/QUOTE]…Comment by vacon04 on 07-18-2013

Gaffigan's stand-up act well-received by Milwaukee crowd
Jim Gaffigan didn't have the fortune of being born here, but the native Hoosier did the next best thing and married someone who was.
Milwaukee is sort of a second home for the New York-based stand-up comic, not simply because of his family connections or because he's played annual year-end shows at the Pabst Theater since 2007. His style of stand-up - clean, soft-spoken, often deadpan, obsessive about food - seems tailor-made for Midwestern sensibilities. »Read Full Article(2)
