Greatness, Old-School Style: a Vanishing America
As you get older, you always remember school—the teachers, the lockers and locker rooms, the class rooms and books, the brainy ones and book worms, the others, the jocks and beauty queens, even the school ties.
There's another kind of school that everyone remembers: the old school, as in old school, not a campus but a state of mind that comes up when its members pass away and are—in praise, condolence and with affection and regret—remembered one last time. Adjectives we rarely hear anymore trail them like life honors and diplomas.
We give you a disparate group of old schoolers, and with them such descriptions as gentlemen, lady, professional, class, originality, larger than life, descriptions ill-fitting to today's class of celebrities who hound us as much as the paparazzi hound them.
We give you an American political legend, a liberal Republican leader, a television newsman who was the kind of on-camera star who resonated professionalism and class, an actor who managed to stay in our minds, and sometimes our oddest dreams, and a Hall of Fame football player who could never be mistaken for anything else. In their professions, they were in one way or another, a part of legend, history and sometimes the top of their class. In the best of ways, they were old-school originals which is to say we will not see their like again.
We give you: William Scranton, Lindy Boggs, John Palmer, Michael Ansara and Art Donovan.
WILLIAM SCRANTON—We live in times of cultural, social and economic division, the latter being more of a chasm that exists with the so-called one percenters and the rest of the country. Scranton was a one percenter of the kind that's rarely seen any more: a scion of a family whose name graces the city of Scranton, Pennsylvania (a city that's seriously economically trouble these days), a family whose maternal side goes back to the Mayflower. If Scranton was moneyed and privileged, he believed in public service. He was a Yalie who dropped out to serve in the Army Air Corps in World War II, who took up politics in a congressional race that was considered bitter and heated for its day in the early 1960s and was later elected to the governorship of Pennsylvania. During that time, there were still a large number of "moderate" Republicans and even a significant number (like Nelson Rockefeller), who could be called liberal. Scranton was once dubbed a "Kennedy Republican" and took on a challenge to the insurgent conservative candidacy of Barry Goldwater in 1964, failing to stop the Arizona Senator who then went to be defeated soundly by President Lyndon Johnson. Scranton also served as Ambassador to the United Nations under President Ford. But he had vowed never to run for office again and kept his word. The image: graceful and gracious, moderate in temperament, the kind of politician who wasn't a natural politician and who's as rare as a unicorn in GOP ranks today. Scranton died of a cerebral hemorrhage July 28 at the age of 96 in California.
LINDY BOGGS—When it came to family roots, Louisianan Lindy Boggs could hold her own: her family, the Clairbornes, went back to colonial Jamestown, the first English colony in North America. But it was when she won a special election to succeed her husband, the late GOP House majority leader Thomas Hale Boggs, in 1973 for his congressional seat that she came into her own. A Democrat from the South, she championed civil rights causes for African Americans, women and children, using charm, intelligence and the political and social skills she had displayed since she came to Washington with her husband in the 1940s. She won elections in a district that was predominantly black. Her children all made names for themselves: Thomas Hale Boggs Jr., a major partner in the prestigious law firm Patton Boggs, Cokie Roberts, the high-profile correspondent for ABC News and National Public Radio, and the late Barbara Boggs Sigmund, who was mayor of Princeton, New Jersey. Boggs died of natural causes at the age of 97 in Chevy Chase, Md., July 27.
JOHN PALMER—"Gentleman," "classy," "pro" and "family man" were all words used by his colleagues to describe Palmer, the hard-working newsman, correspondent and news anchor who brought clarity to viewers by telling complicated stories in person from war-torn and far-flung places, or as a news anchor for NBC's Today Show when it was hosted by Bryan Gumble and Jane Pauley. He broke the story of the abortive attempt to rescue American hostages in Iran. He looked the part of foreign correspondent when he was one, but mostly he came across as trustworthy, with little need for overly dramatic flair. NBC said in its statement that he was "a brilliant, brave, and tireless journalist….he covered five presidents and traveled to every corner of the world, always showing the empathy and compassion that helped set him apart." Palmer died Aug. 3 in Washington, D.C., at the age of 77 of pulmonary fibrosis.
MICHAEL ANSARA—It's not entirely ironic that in our sci-fi and celebrity-loving culture that the Syrian-born American actor Michael Ansara would be best remembered in some quarters for his three-time appearances on Star Trek as the Klingon Commander Kang and for having been at one time the husband of "I Dream of Jeannie" star Barbara Eden. There was a lot more to Ansara the actor. He took up the part of the Apache chieftain Cochise in the popular television series "Broken Arrow" (from the original film starring Jeff Chandler and James Steward). He had small parts in "The Ten Commandments" and "Julius Caesar," in which Marlon Brando showed that American method actors could play Shakespeare as Marc Anthony. He was a character actor in numerous Westerns, epics and on television shows (including "Jeannie). His acting credits in both film—"The Robe"—and TV series—"Hawaii 5-0," "Man from U.N.C.L.E."—make for a very long list: again, a pro and old school. He died July 31 at the age of 92 from complications of Alzheimer's disease in California.
ART DONOVAN—A legendary Baltimore Colts football player at defensive tackle, Art "The Bulldog" Donovan earned a place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame while another current legend, Baltimore offensive tackle John Ogden was being inducted into the Hall of Fame. Donovan looked old school—he used to sport the same razor-sharp butch haircut, owned by quarterback legend Johnny Unitas. He told stories his long life through, including this testament to old school behavior: "I never lifted anything more than 24 ounces and that was a bottle of Schlitz." He died Aug. 4 from a respiratory disease at the age of 88 in Baltimore.


text: I'm going nuts right now in Buffalo. They're salting the roads, which means lots of salty white dried-up residue gets sprayed all over the place, especially my windshield. My wipers work fine, and when I pull on the stalk, after a few seconds, washer fluid sprays out of the aliens in the front bumper, but the regular nozzles in the rain tray aren't squirting anything. Is it normal for both of them to just become clogged like that? The only time I've ever done anything to the washer system is when I disconnected/reconnected the line to the aliens when I replaced my radiator last spring. The rain tray nozzles don't appear to be clogged, either. Help!

My two favorite resorts are the Poly and CSR, but at the Poly the five of us would have to share a room (which is what my DS would rather do) and at CSR we would have to get two rooms. At Poly we would have to do a GV room whereas at CSR we may be able to do two business class rooms for around the same cost. I know I have a while before I have to book, but I'm afraid I still won't be able to decide! Where would you stay?

|Barnes or Carter, Celtics aren't changing
|05.16.10 at 2:58 pm ET
ORLANDO — Stan Van Gundy started the chess match early when he suggested that he would have Matt Barnes guard Ray Allen instead of Paul Pierce, who would then become Vince Carter's assignment.
This opens up a number of interesting questions such as: Does Van Gundy think Allen is a bigger threat than Pierce? Would the Celtics switch up their coverages? Then there's the issue of Barnes' health. He has been struggling with back spasms.
On the latter, Van Gundy said that Barnes is feeling better and will be ready to play. As for the other? "We'll see," Van Gundy said before Game 1.
The Celtics are unconcerned. They're not going to change up their assignments.
"We're not changing.," Doc Rivers said. "We're going the same way we're going to go. Whenever there's a switch like in the last series when [Anthony] Parker guarded [Rajon] Rondo, you're always concerned about the cross matchup in transition because the guy you're guarding is not in front of you. You have to resist the temptation to cross the court and try to find your guy and leave a guy open. That actually works both ways."
Interesting, because Allen thinks this could play in the Celtics advantage.
"I would think that they'd be more worried about Carter getting back on defense, so maybe the cross matchup would probably work better in our favor," Allen said. "If I'm guarding Vince he'd have to run back in transition on me. I've noticed throughout the year, Vince would be on one side running back with me and then the other man will run all the way back across the floor."
Once again, the key for the Celtics is getting out on the break.
"Transition is big," Allen said. "You get the rebound, push it up and Paul and I just run, they have to make a decision because sometimes you can't get back to your guy. It does make you think."
|The Magic were the team to beat all along
|05.15.10 at 8:02 pm ET
WALTHAM — At first glance, the comments from Doc Rivers about his hometown Orlando Magic seem like just more lip service in an effort not to give his opponent any bulletin board material.
But deep down, the Celtics head coach meant what he said and he wanted to make sure his players understood it before they boarded their plane Saturday afternoon for Orlando and Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals.
'Like we told our guys, Cleveland wasn't our goal and neither is Orlando," Rivers began. "Having said that, Orlando is the team, coming into the season, that you felt if you wanted to get out of the East, you had to beat Orlando. They're the team that won the East last year, not Cleveland. I wanted our guys to have focus on that.'
Captain Paul Pierce remembers the feeling of walking off the court on that Sunday night in early May last year when the Magic stunned the defending champion Celtics in Game 7 at the Garden in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
'You're talking about pretty much two different teams," Pierce said Saturday. "Obviously, what Jameer [Nelson] means to that team from not having him a year ago and Vince Carter and us adding KG to the starting lineup in this series and bringing in Rasheed [Wallace]. Definitely, two different teams for the most part. A lot of core guys are still there. It should be an interesting matchup.'
Pierce said this a great chance for the men in green.
'It feels good," Pierce said. "You get an opportunity to play against the Orlando Magic at their full strength and us at our full strength, so you have the two best teams in the Eastern Conference at full strength going at it to see who's going to the championship. They've been playing very well, if not the best of everybody in basketball the last month. We've got our work cut out for us.
'When you got into the off-season and don't win the championship, you use things like that for motivation. That was one of my motivations, just the way we went out, especially on our home court really left a bad taste in my mouth. Hopefully, if we can get this series win, it can erase some of that.'
Ray Allen was another veteran stung by last year's exit in Boston.
'This is a great opportunity, coming back and knowing they put us out last year," Allen said. "I think there are two different scenarios now. It's two different teams but we know where our history lies and where we want to go and they're a team in our way.'
Allen will be one of those with the responsibility of trying to match up with Rashard Lewis and Mickael Pietrus and helping to take away weapons from point guard Jameer Nelson.
'They've built their team around having strong point guard play, somebody who can penetrate the ball and Dwight being so powerful inside," Allen said. "So, we have to each guard a man-and-a-half. We have to guard our man and then help when they do pass because they try to build us out against our defense.
'Obviously, we take player tendencies into account but I think the first game is going to dictate how the second game is going to go and each game is going to be different from the previous one and so forth.'
Whatever the match-ups, Rivers has prepared his team to be ready for a Magic team that is as versatile as they come in the NBA. If they're not ready, they have no one to blame but themselves.
'Hopefully, our antennas are up, if they're no we're going to struggle," Rivers said. "It's no secret what they do, they use Howard as a great post guy and try to suck in everybody. Jameer Nelson tries to crack you off the dribble and then go draw and kick and look for threes. That's what they do.'
'We have a go-to guy in Kevin [Garnett] that we're going to go to. And they have their team leader back. He's their team leader in a lot of ways. I think they get a lot of their toughness from him. He makes big shots for them. I think it's two different teams anyway, especially them. They've changed their personnel completely.'
|Paul Pierce meet David Ortiz
|05.10.10 at 4:32 pm ET
WALTHAM — So maybe Paul Pierce is just getting the David Ortiz treatment.
After scoring just nine points in 31 minutes on Sunday in the 97-87 Celtics win over Cleveland that evened the series, 2-2, everyone wants to know if Paul Pierce is physically fine.
And if he is, as he told reporters following Monday's practice, why then is he having such trouble getting his offensive game going?
'I'm not a rookie, you guys. I'm not a rookie," Pierce said with a painful smile very similar to the one a certain Red Sox slugger sported after getting grilled about his woes just TWO games into the season.
"It is my 12th year. I've been in every situation, regardless. Whether it's foul trouble, not playing, things not going so well for you, I know how to get through those times, mentally. It doesn't affect me like it used to when I was a younger player where I had two or three fouls and not really playing the kind of basketball I want to. But the key is to keep focused and doing what you can to help the team win.'
And about your physical condition Paul?
'There's nothing wrong me," Pierce said. "The key for me is being focused and giving my team what they need to win. So there's nothing wrong with me.'
'No, Paul's fine, Paul's fine," Celtics coach Doc Rivers added. "Obviously, we want more out of him but we're getting a lot out of him. I think unfortunately for Paul, he's an offensive player and that's what everyone sees in him and he has a defensive part in this series so they're going to look at his offensive numbers so that's the bad part of being Paul Pierce, really.'
Specifically, it was the early foul trouble in Games 3 and 4 at the Garden that Pierce pointed to as the main culprit in robbing him of offensive rhythm.
"If you're a scorer, you're a scorer for life," Rivers said. "It's like you're in a gang, a scoring gang. I think scorers still think, 'OK,' and then once they get into it they realize, 'Wow, this is tough.' We just keep telling him to be aggressive. The one thing I did tell him was I thought I did think we got the right matchups for him he wasn't looking to score. When we do get those situations, we need him to morph back into Paul."
'We don't want to sacrifice the entire offense or the team just to get Paul involved," added Rajon Rondo. "Paul is just an unselfish player so he's not complaining about shots or that he's only scoring 11 or 12 points. As long as we're winning, he knows it's a team sport. He's very unselfish. It's about sacrifices. Yesterday, I think Ray [Allen] got 21 shots up and myself. Maybe Paul gets 22 shots and maybe Ray and I only shoots four. It varies each game. If a guy has it going, you keep going to him.'
Pierce said he will not let games of 13, 14, 11 and nine points take him out of his focus of doing what it takes to help the team win the series, namely defend and help on LeBron James.
'All that other stuff goes out the window, being frustrated," Pierce said. "You really have to concentrate on the game when you're not in the game so that when you go back in the game, you can finish it.
'I'm digging myself a ditch as far as my fouls but I think they're good fouls I'm getting, some bad ones but that's the way the game goes. It's nothing I'm really worried about. I know I can do a better job and control. No matter how I'm doing offensively, as long as we win, that's all that matters to me.'
And winning Game 5 in Cleveland Tuesday is Job No. 1.
'We definitely have a sense of urgency going into Game 5," Pierce said. "We have to treat it like a Game 7, trying to gather some momentum, like we've been trying to do. We know it's going to be a tough place to play back in Cleveland, trying to get two wins. It's going to be very difficult. I think we're going to put our hard hats on and clean up some of things we didn't do right last night and in Game 3, and hopefully, try to steal another win.'
|Pierce: There's nothing wrong with me
|at 3:05 pm ET
WALTHAM –When a player like Paul Pierce struggles offensively the way he has in the Celtics series with Cleveland, questions naturally arise. Most prominently: Is he hurt?
Pierce has dealt with a myriad of injuries this season, but given the caveat that every player is a little banged up at this point in the season, he stated flatly Monday after the Celtics went through a brief practice that he was fine.
"There's nothing wrong with me," Pierce said. "For me, it's just being ready, being focused, giving my team whatever it needs to win. There's nothing wrong with me."
There are other mitigating factors that have contributed to his sub-par numbers (16-for-50, 4-for-18 from 3-point range). For one, he has found himself in early foul trouble and for another, he is guarding LeBron James at the other end of the floor.
"I'm digging myself a ditch as far as with my fouls," Pierce said. "I think they're good fouls that I'm giving, some bad ones, but that's the way the game goes."
"Paul's fine," Doc Rivers said when asked about his health. "Obviously we want more out of him, but we're getting a lot out of him. I think, unfortunately for Paul, he's an offensive players and that's what everyone sees in him. He has a defensive role in this series and so they're going to look at his offensive numbers. That's the bad part of being Paul Pierce, really. If it was Tony Allen, people would be happy. He's doing a great job defensively, but it's Paul, so they want more. And we're going to get more out of Paul. I believe that."
Pierce was asked if he felt like he at least one vintage Paul Pierce game in him for the last three games of the series.
"I hope so, but that's not something I'm pressing," he said. "I'm trying to help my team win. Whether it's scoring or defense, it's about winning."
Pierce is also a veteran, and he's drawing on past experiences to get him through this stretch.
"I'm not a rookie," Pierce said. "It is my 12th year. I've been in every situation. I know I can get through those times mentally. It doesn't affect me like it used to when I was a younger player, where I had two or three fouls and not really playing the type of basketball I wanted to play. The key is to just stay focused and doing what you can do to help the team. All that other stuff goes out the window."
|Perkins: 'Without [Rondo], we'd be dead'
|05.08.10 at 5:04 pm ET
WALTHAM — Between Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, and Kevin Garnett alone, it has never been easy to pinpoint the best player on the Celtics. Throw the development of Rajon Rondo into the mix this season, and the task is even tougher.
It's easy, though, for Kendrick Perkins. Not only does he consider Rondo to be the C's top player, he also considers him their lifeline.
'I think right now, he's the best player on our team,' Perkins told WEEI.com following practice on Saturday. 'Without Rondo, nothing goes. Pretty much we've got to play him the whole game because he just runs the whole team. Without him, we'd be dead.'
Rondo is playing a team-high 41 minutes per game in the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Cavaliers. His numbers have consistently improved from the regular season throughout the playoffs. In the first three games against the Cavs, he leads with team with 19.3 points and 13.0 assists, more than five points and three assists better than the regular season. He is also shooting 56.8 percent from the field and averaging 5.0 rebounds, more boards than Allen and Pierce.
'I think he stepped up,' said Perkins. 'He's been more focused than ever, in my opinion, and he's been doing a great job of leading us.'

Spirits lifted with graceJill Sykes
Published: May 20 2013 - 3:00AM
Sharvari JamenisStudio, Sydney Opera House, May 16
Anyone in Australia who knows anything about Indian classical dance and music will be aware of the Spirit of India concerts and the rich artistic treasures they have brought to this country over 33 years. Last week its founder, Mohindar Dhillon, now 85, announced he was going to hand over the hard work of the organisation to someone younger, though he would remain in an advisory capacity - and that details of the next concert were in our programs and he hoped we would be there.
He is a great character, a mover and shaker of the old-fashioned variety, and the event he chose to make his announcement was a very entertaining recital by Sharvari Jamenis. She is a film actress as well as a dancer, and her combination of charm and acting skills played a major part in the appeal of her performance.
Since her chosen style of kathak dance is not often performed in Australia, it would have been good to see a greater focus on the technique, especially the intricate footwork that moved south-west with migrating communities to establish a new base in Spain's flamenco.
But we saw enough to get a good taste of it - to admire her grace and, especially, her speed around the stage and dizzying spins. There was not a lot of variety in the choreography, but her precise, vivacious performance of it was utterly engaging, making this yet another event for which we owe thanks for Dhillon and the Spirit of India.

The Negotiators in Paris Are Still Looking Elsewhere
May 19, 1968,
, Section THE WEEK IN REVIEW, Page E1, Column , words
PARIS -- After one week of the "official conversations" on peace in Vietnam, a pattern has developed: The two sides are carrying on a propaganda battle in Paris and looking elsewhere for the developments that may be determinative -- to Washington, to Hanoi and especially to Saigon.

do you need a helicopter to
do you need a helicopter to own one of these rifles?
Not for me! Sorry, way to
Not for me! Sorry, way to high priced for the base version... wrong caliber(s) for "Survival" or "Emergency" Weapon... wrong design for compactness/ storage...
A solution to a problem that does not exist!
1) Keep it Simple, Stupid... this weapon fails at so many of the Simple levels! A scope is not a Simple main sight, nor an emergency plane crash proof system... oh, to take multiple barrels and multiple magazines with me on my next plane crash/ Mtn walk out...
2) Storage/ compactness: Think Bullpup! Think storage of items within butt stock! Hello! Ar-7 has this one beat! Dont' invent something which is wrong for the job... I even like the FNH 5.7 carbine with a stream lined upper magazine; helps with compactness. Even a butt stock to store the extra magazines within...
3) AR-15/ M-16 platform is so wrong for this application, don't use it, don't mash it into a 9mm/.40/.45 caliber receiver. Hello, look at the movie, if you can't hold the weapon by the magazine well, or by the magazine itself; then why force the customer to buy a forward hand grip. Again, keep it simple... no extra add-ons to make the weapon do something it should do right out of the box. Fixed sights, as part of the upper receiver/ front barrel...
4) Quick change barrel without tools is Geardo Tacti-cool... but not practical in an Emergency/ Survival mode! Hello, you going to bring all that extra crap with you? No, too much weight! I'm not bringing 2 barrels and multiple magazines/ many boxes of different ammo with me! And if I am hunting with my main rifle, then I would want some thing which would help me with a different type of game than a big .30-06 or 7mm.
5) Sorry Charlie, wrong caliber for a "Survival" situation... what you going to eat? Murdered Mountain Men? 9mm/.40/.45 is way overkill on Rabbits/ Squirrels/ Raccoon/ Fox/ Opossum, etc... and sorry, 9mm/.40/.45 is just wrong... how about .22LR, or if that is not enough, .22 mag... even .17 or even 5.7mm would do the job of light weight ammo carrying... or go with 12 ga and carry flare shells and # 7 and #4... ( and could even carry 00 or slug if you wanted heavier killing power!).
6) Don't even get me started on Grizzlie Bear, Black/ Polar/Brown bear... Wolf/ Cougar... or any thing else which might hunt YOU in No. America... that is why they say to carry .44 mag 3-4 inch barrel with you! Sorry, but 9mm/.40/.45 ain't going to do it against a Bear!
Well, thanks for producing a fine weapon, but for me, $574.99 (plus add ons!) is not in my price range/ market... Please rethink your marketing plan, or maybe realize that there are more practical shooters out here in buyers land, who would like a fine weapon at a good price point.
I mainly agree with you. This
I mainly agree with you. This is more of a range toy than a survival rifle. It is meant for people that like to experiment with different calibers and to compare various ammo brands and loads. Now days everything that can fold in half , detach a barrel or it can be taken apart immediately gets called "survival" tool.
ATI Jast Right carbine
ATI Jast Right carbine anyone? IMHO sub2000 still holds number one spot even if you get it for double of its msrp. This carbines while fun to shoot are lacking sub2000 folding capability.
TNW offers interchangeable
TNW offers interchangeable calibes, while SUB2K and JR Carbines don't, barrel is also removable for easier storage. However, this price is MSRP, J&G will have them in stock soon too, so it might be more affordable. $500 including shipping is my target price.
JR Carbines actually do offer
JR Carbines actually do offer kits to change the caliber. The barrel comes off as well, but it takes a little bit more to take the JR Carbine apart. The just right carbine needs tools to be disassembled, where the TNW can be done by hand. If you don't believe me you can go to JR Carbine's website and look at the video, it's posted on the Assembly & Disassembly page.
Deployment time from folded
Deployment time from folded to first shot. I probably will be inserting second hi cap mag into subby by the time you attach barrel on aero.
It's a cool concept don't get me wrong. Can customize the hell out of it. Maybe a second choice after subby. Not the first choice.

Did you know that your sexual performance with her is actually tied to the health of your heart? When it comes to how hard your erections are and how long you last in bed your blood pressure and circulation are the determining factors. There are many ways you can help to increase your body's circulation and make your heart stronger. Just think, all those things that you were taught as a kid to keep your heart healthy are going to pay off in one great way for you. Better sex that last longer with stronger erections.
First, it's true that you are what you eat. When you opt for those greasy fast food joints instead of healthy alternatives it takes a toll on the ability of your heart to function properly. So your initial goal here should be to avoid those artery clogging foods like fried or oily meals and fatty meats. Choose to eat more fruits and vegetables. These have natural antioxidants that help to eliminate free radicals in your bloodstream. This will help with your circulation.
Make exercising part of your weekly routine. Just spending a good half an hour at the gym doing cardio can make an immense difference when it comes to your stamina in the bedroom. Slowly work yourself up to hour sessions and push your body to its limits. As you workout more you will notice that you are building up a tolerance to the amount of time you spending doing a particular activity. For example, let's say you run on the treadmill for thirty minutes the first week you start your routine. The first few days can be very trying as your body is not used to the constant running. However, by week two you will notice you'll be able to knock out that half hour and still be ready to keep going when the buzzer goes off.
Encourage yourself to visit the doctor regularly. If you haven't seen a doctor in a long time it's hard to start back up seeing one again. But all it takes is one simple call to get you back on track. Having regular check ups will help to catch medical issues like high blood pressure and diabetes. In addition, the more you speak to your doctor the more comfortable you will feel around them. This is good for times when you need to speak about embarrassing issues, such as erectile dysfunction.
Focus on relieving your stress. Men are known to bottle up stress unlike their female counterparts who opt for talk it out with a friend. Take a note here and do the same thing. Find someone you trust or schedule an appointment with a therapist if you are afraid of taking to someone you know. Letting chronic stress keeping building up has resulted in heart disease for many men according to a recent study. This is something that you can control. All you have to do is take the first step, and it will get easier from there.

Single Rose and Creeping Silver ManisWednesday, February 15, 2012
Good morning, dear readers!
Today I have two manicures to show you.
For number 1:
For the single rose manicure I used a base of Medusa Cascade, then non-toxic acrylic paint for the rest.
Now for the creeping silver mani!!
My sister did the silver manicure on me. She used Ingot (a silver franken she made) for the nails, then silver and red acrylic paint for the rest. I love how the silver polish looks almost identical to the paint, and how the tips of my fingers are all silver (minus the red, of course ^-^).
I hope that everyone had a great Valentine's Day and has a wonderful Wednesday! :D

They're both pretty cool, but being a bit of a traditionalist the single rose is my favorite. :)ReplyDelete

Beer Terms
AAU (alpha acid units)A measurement of bitterness. AAU hops are labeled with the amount of alpha acid percentage.To determine the AAU's, take the percentage of the hops and multiply it by the weight. Example: if you have two ounces of hops with AA% of 5% (2x5=10) the AAU would be 10. This formula does not consider wort gravity, boil time, etc.
Alcohol by volume (ABV)It is the measurement of the percent of alcohol present in a volume of liquid. To determine the ABV take the original gravity and subtract the final gravity then multiply the answer by 131.25. For every one pound of fermentable sugar added to a 5 gallon batch will yield approximately 1% ABV.
AcetaldehydeA by product of fermentation that gives an aroma of green apple.
Adjunctfermentable sugars other than traditional grains. Used to make lighter style beers. Common adjuncts are flaked oats, rice, corn sugar and honey.
Alebeer that is top fermented usually at a temperature between 65 75 degrees.
All Grainmaking beer entirely from all grain not using extracts or adjuncts.
Aroma Hopsadded to the end of the boil to enhance the aroma of the beer.
AttenuationThe percent of sugars consumed by yeast during fermentation.
BallingCreated by Carl Joseph Balling is a scale that measures the amount of sugar in liquid to help determine the potential alcohol.
Barleythe main grain used to make beer.
Barleywinea high alcohol English style beer (usually 8 12%) usually very malty.
Bittering Hopshops that are added to the boil for approximately 45 60 minutes. The longer the boiling time the more intense the bitterness.
Boiling Pota large cooking pot that can hold the amount of your liquid. Partial mashes and extract batches typically require two gallons of liquid, therefore, you will need a pot to hold more than two gallons (16 or 20 qt size are ideal). All grain brewers require pots that would hold more than 5 gallons. Heavy duty stainless pots are preferred by most brewers.
Candi Sugaris an adjunct sugar used in many Belgium style beers. It is usually in a rock or nugget form but is also available in a liquid form. It creates good head retention. Also referred to as Belgium Candi sugar.
Chill HazeA cloudiness that appears in beer when it gets cold. It is a result of proteins and polyphenols combining as a result of hydrogen bonding. The haze disappears as the beer warms up. Can be prevented by adding clarifying agents such as Irish Moss, isinglass.
Final Gravity (FG)the ending specific gravity/hydrometer reading.
FermentationConversion of sugars into ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide, through the action of yeast.
Fining AgentsIsinglass and Irish Moss are the most common in beer making. They work by making smaller molecules aggregate into larger particles so they will settle out.
Grista term for milled grain.
Gypsumadds sulfate to the brewing water to help bring out the hop flavors. Used especially with Pale Ales
Hopsan herb added to increase the bitterness and enhance the flavor and aroma of beer. Hops come pellets, leaf and plug forms.
Hydrometeran instrument used to measure the density of the liquid. The heavier the liquid the more sugar it contains. The more sugar, the higher the potential alcohol. Hydrometers are helpful to make sure your beer or wine is fermenting and when it has finished.
IBU (international bitterness unit)A system of indicating the hop bitterness in finished beer.
Irish Mossa seaweed used to help clarify beer and prevents chill haze.
Isinglassobtained from fish swimbladders. Used to clarify beer & wine.
LambicA traditionally Belgian brew that is typically sour. It is usually fruit flavored (peach, raspberry, cassis, cherry) and fermented with wild yeast and several types of bacteria.
Lautera German word meaning to clarify. During mashing, the grains are soaked in hot water to obtain fermentable liquid sugars. The liquid is drained from the grain (grist). A lauter tun or mash tun is a vessel used to extract the liquid. In plain words lautering is when you drain the liquid from the soaked grains.
Lauter tunis a vessel used to separate the sweet liquid away from the grain.
Lagerbeer that is "bottom fermented"
LovibondCreated by Joseph William Lovibond to determine the color of a substance usually beer and whiskey. It is a measurement of color in degrees. The scale starts at 0 (zero) and goes to over 500. The higher the number the darker the color.
Maltthe malting process consists of wetting the grain and allowing it to germinate. During the germination, some of the starches in the grain get converted to sugars. Some of the grain is then kilned dried and caramelized to create specialty crystal malts.
Malt Extractafter barley has been malted and mashed, it is reduced down to a thick syrupy liquid, Liquid Malt Extract (LME) or dried into Dried Malt Extract (DME).
Mashingsoaking grains in heated water to obtain fermentable liquid sugar (wort).
Mouthfeelhow the beer feels in your mouth. Typically full or thin.
Original Gravity (OG)the beginning specific gravity of the wort before it is fermented into beer.
Oxygenationoxygen added to the wort to help the yeast ferment the sugars into alcohol. Pitching is simply adding the yeast to the wort.
Primary Fermentationvigorous fermentation when the yeast cells are multiplying at a vigorous rate feeding on the fermentable sugars.
ReinheitsgebotGerman law also known as the Purity Law created in 1516 that only three ingredients are allowed in beer making. Water, malted barley and hops. Yeast was not originally included because beer makers in 1516 most likely used wild yeast.
Spargingspraying hot water on the grains (grist) to obtain more fermentable liquid sugars.
Steep to convertplace specialty grains in hot water (can be placed in a grain or muslin bag) prior to the boil to steep color and aroma. Usually required 30 minutes.
Standard Reference Method (SRM)is a method used by many brew chemists to measure the color of beer using an spectrophotometer instrument . The lovibond scale is a system that relies on visual reference.
Wortthe liquid extracted from grain contains liquid fermentable sugar prior to fermentation.

3) Miami Heat (20-7) – The Heat keep taking care of business. It's all about what they can do in the playoffs with this team.
4) San Antonio Spurs (19-9) – Are the Spurs really in the top five again? Yup. Winning six straight games will do that for you.
5) Los Angeles Clippers (17-8) – The big Clipper news this week was that Chauncey Billups would miss the rest of the season wit a torn Achilles tendon. The Clippers will be fine in the regular season without him, but he will be missed come playoff time.
6) Indiana Pacers (17-10) – It wasn't a great week for Indiana, but I still really like their talent. Congratulations to Roy Hibbert on his first All-Star selection. Well deserved.
7) Atlanta Hawks (18-9) – It's not like me to show some love to an Atlanta Hawks player, but if James Harden is my All-Star snub in the West, Josh Smith is my All-Star snub in the East.
8) Philadelphia 76ers (19-9) – The 76ers had a tough, tough week with four straight games against playoff teams. Considering that, a 2-2 week is perfectly reasonable. They really need Spencer Hawes to get and stay healthy.
9) Dallas Mavericks (17-11) – Don't let me down, Dallas. Whatever the reason for Dirk Nowitzki's time off, it worked. He has looked like the old Dirk lately, and that means everything to this team.
10) Houston Rockets (16-11) – Do you know why I like Houston so much? Because everyone on that team is solid. They are selfless and smart, and they play hard. I always figured they'd be back in the playoff race after their slow start.
11) Orlando Magic (17-11) – Orlando handed the Miami Heat a double-digit loss this week, which included a massive 20-20 game from Dwight Howard. That would be an interesting playoff matchup … who can handle Howard on that team?
12) Portland Trailblazers (15-13) – Question I always ask myself when I watch the Blazers: Is Raymond Felton out of shape or was he always this large?
13) Los Angeles Lakers (15-12) – I know they're struggling, but I'm not going to let myself sleep on this team. They have too much talent to fail.
14) Boston Celtics (14-12) – Let me tell you why the last two losses don't bother me. Against the Lakers, the Celtics had the ball in overtime for a chance to win the game. If you had asked me before the play 'If you could pick any shot for this last play what would it be?' I would have answered with a Paul Pierce jumper from the elbow. That's his sweet spot. He makes that shot more than he misses it. He got his shot and he missed it. There is nothing you can do at that point. The loss to the Raptors last night was a bit more alarming, but even that didn't bother me all that much. We knew before the season started that this old team would struggle in back-to-back games. And boy did they struggle last night. Nothing came easy, and nothing was falling. The biggest surprise was that the one of the oldest players, Kevin Garnett, actually played well, while Rajon Rondo just couldn't get anything going. Its o.k. though, don't panic. I think the Celtics will be just fine … just fine in the sense that I think they will make the playoffs, make it past round one, and then get eliminated by either the Heat or the Bulls.
15) New York Knicks (13-15) – JEREMYYYYYYYYY LINNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!! How fun is this? NBA, guys. Basketball is the best. One of my favorite NBA writers David Aldridge tweeted this gem last night – "The Lakers need a CoLINoscopy." If loving Jeremy Lin is wrong, I don't want to be right.
16) Denver Nuggets (16-12) – I have to be honest, I'm pretty surprised they fell this far this fast. I guess losing five straight games will do that to you.
17) Memphis Grizzlies (14-13) – I keep waiting for the Grizzlies coming-out party. It hasn't happened yet and I'm beginning to wonder if it ever will.
18) Milwaukee Bucks (12-15) – Is it funny or sad that Brandon Jennings is already talking about jumping ship for a bigger market once he gets the opportunity? What was this whole lockout about again?
19) Minnesota Timberwolves (13-15) – If you didn't watch Saturday night's Ricky Rubio vs. Jeremy Lin bowl I don't know if we can be friends.
20) Utah Jazz (13-12) – Losers of three straight games, the Jazz seem to have finally fallen back down to earth.
21) Sacramento Kings (10-17) – Is it crazy of me to think that this team is starting to figure it out? They have won 4 of their last 5 games including wins over Portland and Oklahoma City. That's something.
22) Phoenix Suns (12-15) – Comercio Steve Nash.
23) Cleveland Cavaliers (10-16) – You know what? Ramon Sessions is pretty good. He's always been pretty good. It's a shame he's never been on a good team.
24) Golden State Warriors (9-14) – Every year around this time I hear the same old 'Monta Ellis got snubbed' argument. I've never felt he was an All-star. I don't get it. He's a good player, but it takes a really, really good player to make the All-Star team in the West as a guard.
25) Toronto Raptors (9-19) – I know I already downplayed their victory over the Celtics from a Boston perspective, but looking at it from the Raptors point of view…beating Boston without your best player is a good win for this team.
26) Detroit Pistons (8-20) – Would yah look at that… four straight wins for Detroit. Good on you, Lawrence Frank.
27) New Jersey Nets (8-21) – One week after I praised New Jersey for playing some solid basketball, they went out and lost five games in a row. Nice to see things are back to normal.
28) Washington Wizards (5-22) – Well, they beat the Raptors Monday night …
29) New Orleans Hornets (4-23) – How weird has this Chris Kaman thing been? They shelved him for a few games so they could shop him around without the risk of him getting hurt, but then they decided they didn't want to do that anymore and now he's playing big minutes for them. He'll help someone.
30) Charlotte Bobcats (3-24) – My favorite streak in the NBA = 13 straight losses.

Ann and I are doing a project together, it's Kenneth's King's dress form body double from the July 2012 issue of Threads. I feel so fortunate to be able to work on this project with a sewing friend! The minute I saw Kenneth's article I knew it was a project for me because duct tape doubles, as useful as they are, have always seemed like not too fun for the amount of work and – well – they don't look that nice and they smell funny. They're also not pinnable. The premise of Kenneth's article is simple, basically a zippered cover is made for a dress form and then another body double form is made from a human body. The space between the two is padded out with batting to conform to that individual body shape and zippers enable the body double to be removed from the dress form. I like this idea because have an old friend for whom I want to make a little black dress; she lives in New Jersey so this method will enable me to have her exact body dimensions in my sewing room.
Kenneth's article is great although I have to say that it's really about how to make the body double and doesn't go into detail about how to fit a shell to a particular person. So I'll share what Ann and I have learned so far:
The first thing we did was to take a full set of measurements for each other. The last time we did this was 2005 (!) and we agreed it was time for a new set. Burda's size tables are a good guide as to what measurements to take and we also added hip circumferences down from the waist at 2inches, 4 inches, 6 inches, 8 inches and 10 inches.
We then trooped off to Jo-Ann's and looked at fitting shell patterns. Now that McCall's owns 3 of the Big 4 brands there is not really any difference in fitting shell patterns between them other than to note Vogue's is multi-cup sized and Butterick and McCall's are not. Ann bought Vogue and I bought Butterick because they had my size. She wanted the A-B-C-D cup pattern pieces and I didn't need them. Both fitting shell patterns come with excellent detailed instructions that explain how to interpret drag lines and how to make adjustments for different body shapes. There is also a measurement template that corresponds to the one we made up ourselves so there is no need to take anything other than basic bust-waist hip measurements in advance of buying a Big 3 fitting shell pattern.
Fitting shells patterns are not multi-sized, they are sold in single sizes (like in the old days) and we each chose a size that most closely matched our upper body measurements. Both of us bought a size 14 however as you'll see when we post the finished body doubles there is quite a bit of difference between the two of us even though we both used a size 14. Which is really the whole point of making one right?
Kenneth's article shows a princess seamed upper bodice on his model. After a discussion we determined that it doesn't really make any difference in the end and our shells will both have traditional darted bodice blocks. Kenneth's model also has her body double fitted smoothly over her bust with no separation for each breast. We both decided it that molding the block around the bust would give us a more useful body form so we both added a horizontal bust dart.
Both Vogue and Butterick fitting shell patterns have extra wide seam allowances, which makes them really easy to fit. Prior to cutting the muslins both of us made basic fitting adjustments that we each knew we needed (bust fitting for Ann, petite waist adjustments for me) but otherwise we worked up the initial muslin straight from the envelope because we knew we'd fine tune the fit for each other. Both muslins together are here on Ann's blog and the seams turned to the outside was deliberate to allow easier fitting on that first try.
The photos are my muslin #2 and Ann's muslin 2 is on her blog. The differences between us are interesting yes? And both are a size 14. I have scoliosis so for me each upper bodice piece needed to be fitted individually, cut single layer and carefully marked. The asymmetrical sides of my body are best seen from the back. My left shoulder is higher than the right. The large curved dart on the right that looks like I've had a lung removed compensates for the way the left side of my body twists up and back from the right side. Ann has pinned out some additional ease on my right shoulder and over each bust apex that I'll incorporate into the next muslin. I'm not concerned about these crazy asymmetrical darts because the goal is to have a tightly fitted shell with zero ease. I want something that exactly mimics me so it can padded it out into my 3D shape.
The next step is a full length muslin with the hip panels added.

I have had a great time trying different types of cuisines here, we had a nice dinner at a Greek place Friday night, had falafels at Nascht Markt (which is similar to Reading Terminal), and have already tried some of their delicious chocolate treats. After a really great first weekend here in Vienna, we began our second week of classes. So far we are learning about the musical and personal backgrounds of famous Austrian composers such as Haydn, Bruckner, and Beethoven. We took the street car to the Upper Belvedere which used to be a Prince's guest home
I'm beginning to become used to the routine of taking the subway two stops from near the Institute to my apartment if it is cold. It is a strange feeling though, being illiterate of the language that most people walking down the street are speaking. I like how they take pride in how they are presented, even their dogs are dressed up nicely, keep their city clean, safe, and are careful not to be wasteful.
I climbed to the top of the St. Steven's cathedral, all 67 meters up to the lookout tower. It was reminiscent of when we hiked up the stairs of churches in Rome, Florence, and Venice. The people below looked like ants going about their business while trying not to get lost. I could just make out the foothills of Vienna in the distance (which is why the city was founded here because of its flat location and closeness to the Danube River). In the evening, we fancied ourselves up to go to the Musikverin, a beautiful venue for the Vienna Symphony Orchestra. We heard a Bruckner piece that was serene.
Most currently, we saw one of Beethoven's houses (he lived in 67 apartments in Vienna). It was cool to see where he might have composed some of his great masterpieces. More fun things to come!

Randall Graham, a founding member of Californian wine group, The Rhône Rangers, once claimed it was more difficult to get rid of a case of syrah than the clap. Nice. Indeed, the variety is a hard sell, falling out of favour with drinkers since the heady days of the 1980s' Rhône renaissance.
Perhaps that's one of the reasons why syrah makes up less than 1 per cent of New Zealand's total vineyard area. The international wine media can't get enough of New Zealand syrah and have been urging producers to plant more yet the Kiwi industry has not responded to their calls.
But times they are-a-changing. In an interview with UK trade magazine, The Drinks Business, Brancott Estate's chief winemaker, Patrick Materman, said syrah could become New Zealand's third most important grape variety after sauvignon blanc and pinot noir.
"In the past Hawke's Bay was all about Bordeaux blends, with a lot of cabernet sauvignon and merlot plantings, but those vines are being uprooted and replaced with syrah", he said. "It is going to become more and more dominant in New Zealand".
So, why are Materman and the international media getting so excited about the variety? New Zealand syrah is unique. It has the unmistakeable peppery character of the northern Rhône combined with ripe, New World blackberry fruit. The finest examples from Waiheke Island and Hawke's Bay have an elegance and streak of acidity rarely seen in the New World.
2009 Mission Estate Syrah, Hawke's Bay ($13-18, New World, Countdown).
It's not often you find a characterful wine at this price. It's packed with juicy black cherries and freshly ground pepper. It's smooth in the mouth with mouthwatering acidity on the finish.
2009 Craggy Range Gimblett Gravels Syrah ($30, Caros, Glengarrys, Regional wines, Scenic Cellars, Fine Wine Delivery Co).
This is incredibly youthful and tightly woven, so if you have the willpower, buy it and leave it to mature for a year or three. At the moment, it has lots of sweet vanilla spice and firm mouthcoating tannins but these will soften, ceding to the complex, leather, spice and smoky notes found on the long finish.
2008 Trinity Hill Gimblett Gravels Syrah ($34, Liquor King)
Trinity Hill's flagship wine, Homage, is delicious but I'd rather have 3 bottles of this for the same price. Red cherry and raspberry fruits combine with floral and white pepper notes, providing the classic New Zealand syrah experience.

My over grown 90
Ya think? Man thats lots of growth!
<sarcasm level=high>Man, that tank will look great once those sags grow in! </sarcasm>
That looks really cool, though, hehe. You must be doing something right!
I started with 10 corkscrew vals in front. Now there is about 150 and still going. There is jungle val that starts from the left rear and goes all the way across the top and back. So I'm guessing they are about 8 to 10 feet long now. I started with 5 of those and now there are about 30. My crypts, the tall one with skinny leaves dead center, I started with 3 and they were about 4 to 6 inches tall are now all to the surface and have sent out lots of runners. I now have about 15 of those. It's amazing what CO2 will do even with only 4 40 watt tubes.
Is that from the front or back side :lol:
Man now you can go into the plant selling business...
Hard to tell, isn't it?
Jeez, I didn't even catcht he crypt the fist time around. I bet buck would like that plant.. :)
I finally trimmed mine in my 55g after 6 months or so.
:lol: :lol: :lol: Definitely too much light, CO2 or ferts :lol:
Get some plant devouring snails, or some plant eating fish. It is not like you have to worry about them stripping your tank bare.
Better yet, how about wrapping them up and selling them to your local fish stores... Turn your expenses into profit, or at least trim your expenses enough to break even. In the process you would be helping those without a green thumb get some enjoyment from your gain.
Here is a pic of one of the 15 jungle vals that were in there
Here it is thinned out
Heh.... that is some Val :D
I really like the looks of the Vals in a tank. Its just such a natural looking plant and there is a version of Vallisneria or a similar looking variety found in all bodies of water , salt and fresh, all over the world !
Great photo bro...
By the way... have I ever told you guys that I love Balansae's ? :proud:

World Twenty20: South Africa vs Sri Lanka – As it happened...
Zee Media Bureau/Suyash Srivastava & Jayanta Oinam
Updates from the 14th match of 2014 ICC World Twenty20, between South Africa and Sri Lanka being played at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chittagong.
South Africa innings:
Over 20 || Score 160/8
15 required from last six balls. Malinga fired a yorker, Miller hit that straight to short midwicket, Steyn wanted a single, Miller sent him back, but Steyn was half way down the crease and is run-out! 15 required from 5 balls. Morne Morkel is the new man in, Miller is on strike. Malinga fires another yorker, Miller hit it towards long-on and returned for a suicidal second run, and now Miller is run-out! 14 required from 4 balls. Imran Tahir is the new man in. Malinga fires a yorker again, Tahir hits it towards covers and they haven't gone for a single! 14 from 3 required. Tahir smashed the next ball high in the air and scored two runs, 12 runs required from 2 balls. Tahir worked the penultimate delivery towards covers, and they haven't gone for the single again. Malinga offers some width off the last ball, Tahir slashes hard and it sails all the way over deep cover for a Six! But despite that massive shot, South Africa are short by 5 runs.
DA Miller run out 19 (16b)
DW Steyn run out 0 (2b)
Over 19 || Score 151/6
Kulasekara has been given the big responsibility to bowl the penultimate over. Miller drove the first ball towards long-off for a single. Behardien was on strike and he had to play a big shot, he took his chance but hit the ball straight to Jayawardene at long-on. Dale Steyn is the new man in and he had a long chat with Miller. Miller worked the third ball towards wide of long-on and scored two runs. Miller took a single off the fourth ball. The fifth ball was a dot ball as Kulasekara went for a wide delivery outside the off-stump. Kulasekara ended the over with a dot ball as well. Just four runs and a wicket, brilliant over for Sri Lanka! South Africa need 15 runs from the last over – to be bowled by Lasith Maliga!
F Behardien c Jayawardene b Kulasekara 5 (4b)
Over 18 || Score 147/5
Malinga to bowl his third over. Miller was offered some width off the second ball and he drove that powerfully though covers for a boundary! Miller took a single off the last ball to keep the strike. South Africa now need 19 runs to win from the last two overs.
Over 17 || Score 137/5
Mendis to bowl his final over. Miller took a single off the first ball and Morkel smashed the second ball high over long-on for a Six! The third ball was in Morkel's zone and he smacked that over deep midwicket for an even better Six! Morkel tried to hit his third consecutive six, didn't hit it from the middle of the bat and was caught at deep midwicket by skipper Chandimal. Farhaan Behardien is the new man in. 17 runs from the over, and a crucial wicket of dangerous Morkel.
JA Morkel c Chandimal b Mendis 12 (4b)
Over 16 || Score 120/4
Senanayake to bowl his final over. He has been very impressive today and he picked another wicket for his side when Duminy went for the slog sweep and was caught by Dilshan at deep midwicket. Excellent over this, just five runs and the wicket of a set batsman.
JP Duminy c Dilshan b Senanayake 39 (30b)
Over 15 || Score 115/3
Mendis to bowl his third over. Just five runs from the over. South Africa now need 51 runs from 30 balls. Not to forget, Malinga will bowl 18 off those 30 balls.
Over 14 || Score 110/3
Mathews to bowl his third over. There was no long-off and AB played a powerful shot past the fielder at mid-off for a boundary. But Mathews had the last laugh as he changed the pace, AB was charging down the wicket and managed just an edge to Sangakkara! Big big wicket for Sri Lanka! Seven runs from the over.
AB de Villiers c Sangakkara b Mathews 24 (16b)
Over 13 || Score 103/2
Lanka need wickets and Malinga has been brought back into the attack. He begins with a full-toss on the leg side and AB smashes that for a boundary through square leg. Nine runs from the over.
Over 12 || Score 94/2
Mendis to bowl his second over. AB scored a boundary in that over when he drove Mendis through covers for four runs. 11 runs from the over. South Africa are cruising here!
Over 11 || Score 83/2
Hashim Amla scored a boundary off Senanayeke, but then was caught at short cover by Dilshan while trying to go inside out. That was a key wicket for Sri Lanka as Amla was set and was looking to accelerate the pace of his innings. Eight runs from the over.
HM Amla c Dilshan b Senanayake 23 (26b)
Over 10 || Score 75/1
Ajantha Mendis has been brought into the attack, his role will be crucial from Sri Lanka's perspective. Duminy has decided, he won't play too many defensive strokes and he clobbered Mendis for a boundary and a six off consecutive balls. 12 runs from the over. Duminy has certainly relieved some pressure off Amla.
Over 9 || Score 63/1
Perera to bowl his second over. Duminy changed gears in that particular over where he smashed Perera for two boundaries and a six! 16 runs from the over.
Over 8 || Score 47/1
Senanayake to bowl his second over. Just five runs from the over.
Over 7 || Score 42/1
Thisara Perera has been brought into the attack. Good start, just two runs from the over.
Over 6 || Score 40/1
Mathews to bowl his second over. Amla made some room for himself on the leg side and flicked the ball towards short fine leg for a boundary! Eight runs from the over.
Over 5 || Score 32/1
South Africa have got off to a fine start, which is why Lasith Malinga has been brought into the attack. And he strikes, Malinga goes for his yorker and de Kock is bowled! JP Duminy is the new man in. He has been promoted ahead of AB de Villiers. Just one run from the over and a wicket for Malinga! Excellent start this!
Q de Kock b Malinga 25 (18b)
Over 4 || Score 31/0
Senanayake has been brought into the attack. Third ball was short and a misfield from Seekkuge Prasanna led to a boundary! Five runs from the over.
Over 3 || Score 26/0
Kulasekara to continue. The third ball was a length delivery and de Kock launched that towards wide of long-on for a boundary! De Kock made some room for himself on the leg side off the fourth ball, which sailed over deep square leg for a Six! Kulasekara bowled a length ball outside the off-stump and de Kock handsomely drove that through covers for another boundary! 15 runs from the over, de Kock is looking in a devastating mood!
Over 2 || Score 11/0
Angelo Mathews to bowl from the other end. De Kock was offered some room off the second ball and he slapped that past covers for a boundary! Seven runs from the second over. South Africa have a formidable batting line-up. They need to keep wickets in hand for a successful chase.
Over 1 || Score 4/0
Nuwan Kulasekara has the new ball in his hands, Hashim Amla and Quinton de Dock will open the innings for South Africa. Good start from Sri Lanka, four runs from the first over.
Sri Lanka innings:
Over 20 || Score 165/7
Steyn to bowl the final over of the innings. The third ball was a special one from Steyn, a yorker and Mathews was surprised with the pace at which it was bowled. A fine innings from Mathews came to an end. It was a good over from Steyn, but he was unlucky off the last ball as Kulasekara got a thick edge off the last ball which rushed past third man for a boundary! Nine runs from the over. It is a respectable total – a score which would help somebody like Lasith Malinga to aim at the stumps!
AD Mathews b Steyn 43 (32b)
Over 19 || Score 156/6
Morne Morkel picked his second wicket of the match when Perera missed the line of a ball which hit his stumps. Eight runs from the over.
NLTC Perera b M Morkel 8 (6b)
Over 18 || Score 148/5
Dale Steyn has been brought into the attack. Steyn's first ball was a length delivery and Perera smashed that towards wide of long-on for a boundary! The fifth ball was a short delivery and Mathews was lucky on that occasion as they ball took a leading edge, and flew over the keeper's head for a boundary!
Over 17 || Score 138/5
Mathews charged down the wicket and slapped the first ball for a flat six over long-on! Chandimal tried to hit a big hit as he charged down the wicket, but he was stumped by de Kock! Tahir gets his third wicket! Ten runs from the over and Tahir ends his fine spell.
LD Chandimal st de Kock b Imran Tahir 12 (9b)
Over 16 || Score 128/4
Mathews and Chandimal continue the good work and they have added 11 runs in the over. Both these batsmen aren't hesitating in playing the unorthodox strokes to collect as many runs as possible.
Over 15 || Score 117/4
Angelo Mathews and Dinesh Chandimal have accelerated the pace of the innings and they are looking in good momentum at the moment. Sri Lanka need these two to stay for another few overs if Sri Lanka entertain any chances of reaching a formidable total.
50 for Parera.
In between, Kusal Parera has reached his half-century by taking a single off JP Duminy towards leg side in the fifth ball of eighth over. In his 29-ball innings, the opener has struck five boundaries and three sixes.
Over 9.5 || Score 83/3
Imran Tahir provided the much needed break for his team by removing the veteran Sangakkara.
Kumar Sangakkara c Lonwabo Tsotsobe b Imran Tahir 14(18)
Sangakkara, in a bid to up the tempo, picked a wide delivery from Tahir which took a top edge. Tsotsobe took the catch at third man as a jubilant Tahir celebrated in his usual style ... running wild.
Over 8 || Score 70/2
Yet another good over for Sri Lanka.
Albie Morkel's first over costed 13 runs for the bowling side, with both Kusal and Kumar Sangakkara hitting a boundary each in the over.
Over 6 || Score 51/2
Kusal Perera continued to punished South African bowlers. He has reached into 30s from 20 odd balls with abundant boundaries to boot.
Over 4.2 || Score 42/2
Second wicket for the Proteas.
Morne Morkel did enough to invite Jayawardene to play an ambitious shot. The Sri Lankan batsman's shot ended up with a catch for Steyn at mid-on.
Mahela Jayawardene c Dale Steyn b Morne Morkel 9 (9b)
Over 4 || Score 38/1
A relatively better over for South Africa as Lonwabo Tsotsobe conceding only eight runs.
So far, it's all about Kusal Perera. The opener has displayed a full range of shots.
Over 3 || Score 30/1
AB de Villiers brought Morne Morkel in place of Dale Steyn in the third over. But the change of bowler didn't particularly worked for the fielding team as Kusal continued to play fearlessly.
The southpaw in on 25 from 13 balls.
Over 2 || Score 22/1
As expected, Lonwabo Tsotsobe shared the new ball with Steyn. The left-handed bowler started his over with a wide, but succeeded in keeping the Sri Lankan's quite by keeping the line and length.
In the centre, Kusal has his imperious compatriot Mahela Jayawardene for company.
Over 1 || Score 17/1
Dale Steyn started the proceedings with a straight delivery- onto the stumps, but Sri Lankan opener Kusal Perera hit two successive boundaries off the second and third deliveries, and followed it up with a huge six.
Thus Sri Lanka are off to a flying start.
But in the last ball, Steyn yorked Kusal's opening partner Tillakaratne Dilshan for a nought.
Tillakaratne Dilshan b Dale Steyn 0 (1b)
Toss: Sri Lanka won the toss, will bat first.
Despite all the worries about Dale Steyn's fitness, the South African speedster will play today.
Here are the teams:
South Africa: Kusal Perera, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Mahela Jayawardene, Kumar Sangakkara (wk), Dinesh Chandimal (capt.), Angelo Mathews, Thisara Perera, Nuwan Kulasekara, Sachitra Senanayake, Lasith Malinga, Ajantha Mendis
Sri Lanka: Hashim Amla, Quinton de Kock (wk), AB de Villiers (capt.), JP Duminy, Farhaan Behardien, David Miller, Albie Morkel, Dale Steyn, Morne Morkel, Lonwabo Tsotsobe, Imran Tahir
Chittagong: As the tournament proper enters second day into the competition, now it`s the turn of heavyweights to have their share of bricks and bouquets.
In the first of Group 1 clash, South Africa will take on Sri Lanka, with the Islanders starting as the overwhelming favourites. Sri Lanka were the finalists in two previous occasions, losing to Pakistan in 2009 and West Indies in 2012. So, despite their final jinx, Sri Lankans have always been one of the favourites in the tournament.
Talking about the `jinx`, the Proteas have always been associated with luck and its various other calculations or miscalculations. Besides, they have also not done too well in this competition, for that matter of fact, in any of the ICC tournament. Probably that`s the reason why they are often dismissed as the eternal chokers.
However, the poor past record cannot discount any team and their prospects thereof. Both the teams played two warm-up matches. Sri Lanka lost to defending champions West Indies but earlier, they have defeated continental rivals, India. South Africa defeated both Bangladesh and Pakistan.

Deadliest Warrior
|You gotta spin it to win it

|Extra! Extra!
Deadliest Warrior is a terrible television show on Spike TV that takes two combatants (or groups of combatants in some cases, such as with the IRA vs Taliban episode) that have no chance in hell of ever meeting one another, and pits them against each other. It may cause some to lose faith in western civilization.
Supposed science
The show claims to be historically and scientifically accurate, however it's often criticized for its pseudoscientific and pseudohistorical skewing to please the viewers. The allegations include but are not limited to non-expert "experts", faked tests (e.g., a RPG firing "enhanced" with CGI), assigning the combatants equipment that are either way beyond the combatants' time period, giving them equipment that they would normally not use (e.g., giving the IRA a slingshot), and reinforcing pop culture stereotypes (e.g., Mel Gibsonizing William Wallace, Uber 300 style Spartans, etc) over historical facts.
The show concludes with a staged fight between two classes of historical warriors, often in combinations that would make even the Society for Creative Anachronisms cry. It was briefly discussed on Charlie Brooker's You Have Been Watching, where it was promptly mocked for being idiotic.[1][2] Blogger BS Historian, who wrote a detailed expose on the show's inaccuracies and inconsistencies, referred to it as "pulling a Brainiac", in reference to another supposedly scientific show that was caught faking results.[3]
The third season began incorporating vampires and zombies.
