Dragon*ConTV is the insufficiently sung hero of Dragon*Con. It's the snarky entertainment arm of the con that keeps you laughing while waiting for panels or when you're lying in your room too tired to go back out in your 65-pound costume.
A long, long time ago, in the Dragon*Con galaxy not so far away, there were just a few Dragon*Con events broadcast on the hotel channels. Then there was a custom video for the 2002 Masquerade. Finally in 2003, Brian Richardson, Lucas Leverett, and Patrick Freeman got together to start making more video content, and DCTV was born.
Each year there are old favorites from the past along with brand new goodies, from sci-fi product spoof commercials to music videos to parody TV show and movie bits, wrapped around Adult-Swim-style bumpers. (One of those even questions the creativity of mimicking the Adult Swim bumps. How meta.)
If you've been to so many Dragon*Con panels that you feel you've seen all the bumps, you can play "guess the first-time con-goers" instead. They're the ones falling out of their chairs at a three-year-old bump you've seen so many times you could recite it in your sleep. But there are some that I never get tired of, no matter how many times I see them.
Keep reading below to see a few of my all-time favorite DCTV clips to help you make it through the next nine months or so until you can see the new batch. They're the ones that make me wish my TV had a year-round DCTV channel. (Hey, DCTV–can you guys work on getting that added to the Boxee?) Continue Reading "The Best of Dragon*ConTV" »

Nate Burleson & D.J. Hackett Split-End Battle
Thursday 8/30, 12:42 PM CT
Seahawks receiver Nate Burleson is still in contention for a starting job opposite Deion Branch, according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. He is contending with D.J. Hackett for that role.
Our View: They may also end up splitting time if neither emerges. Hackett has been one of the preseason's biggest disappointments and that has increased Branch's fantasy value. Burleson remains nothing more than a reach.
Choo's View: Beware the Ides of Split-End. Since it was announced Hackett would be playing the doomed position, I have warned everyone who will listen. Burleson has actually looked pretty good this preseason. He ran some nice routes last night, bursting in and out of his cuts, and showed soft hands and good chemistry with Seneca Wallace. Hackett is still the starter, but Holmgren isn't ready to give up on Burleson yet so expect a heavy rotation between the two until someone emerges for good.

While doing a quick Google search to find what a Cloud is, I have found several different definitions which depend on which vendor site you pull up. One thing is for sure despite the frequent use of the term, it still means different things to different people and or companies. For my reference point I am going to use the National Institute of Standards and Technology definition referenced by Texiwill's NIST Cloud Computing Definitions Final article.
If you look at some of the different cloud providers like Google, Amazon, Microsoft and VMware they are each building their own version of the cloud. Some methods will utilize virtualization and others will not. One thing I know for sure is that the cloud will need to be dynamically scalable and will need to be delivered on demand over the internet. A believe most, if not all of these cloud providers will be running hybrid clouds that will be made up of public, private and quite possibly community clouds as well.

COLUMBUS , Ohio – Mental retardation does not lessen the likelihood that a patient will benefit from a kidney transplant, a new study suggests.
A survey of published cases worldwide found that the one-year survival rate for people with mental retardation who received kidney transplants was 100 percent, and the three-year survivor rate was 90 percent.
"That's comparable to national survival rates for the overall population, said Steven Reiss, co-author of the study and professor of psychology and psychiatry at Ohio State University .
"From these results, there doesn't seem to be any reason to think the mentally retarded are not good candidates for transplants."
Reiss, who is director of Ohio State 's Nisonger Center for Mental Retardation, conducted the study with Marilee Martens, a researcher at the Nisonger Center , and Linda Jones, former CEO of Lifeline of Ohio, an organization that coordinates organ recoveries. It will be published in an upcoming issue of the journal Pediatric Transplantation.
This study is the first to compile outcome results from around the world among mentally retarded transplant patients. The results help answer concerns about whether transplants would be successful in people with mental retardation, Martens said.
"Many people in the medical community have been unsure about how people with MR would fare with transplants," she said. "But now we have evidence that it does work, and that people with MR are appropriate candidates to receive organ transplants."
The researchers examined the medical literature to find any published cases they could about kidney transplants – the most common transplanted organ -- among people with MR. Kidneys were studied because there are few recorded cases of liver or heart transplants in people with MR.
In some cases, the researcher contacted doctors involved in the kidney transplant studies to get more information, or to find new, unpublished cases.
In the end, the study included 42 total cases in several countries, including the United States.
The researchers found one-year survival rates for 33 of the 42 patients, and all 33 survived the first year. After three years, 38 of the 42 patients were still alive.
"The results are encouraging, and show that transplants are as successful in people with MR as they are in others," Reiss said.
In the early years of transplants, people with MR were routinely turned down for transplants because they were presumed to have a low quality of life, Reiss said. But a 1995 lawsuit in California brought by the family of a woman with Down syndrome, who was initially denied a heart-lung transplant because of her disability, helped stop obvious discrimination.
Now, transplants among people with MR are much more common, although it is not known if some people are still being turned down because of their disability.
"People with disabilities do have access to transplants, but whether we have reached equal access is impossible to say," according to Reiss.
The importance of this study is that it eases one of the top concerns among doctors – that people with MR may not be good candidates for transplant because of medical reasons, Reiss said.
Doctors have been concerned about transplants because mental retardation is often accompanied by a variety of other medical problems which may affect transplant success. For example, people with Down syndrome have a weakened immune system and demonstrate increased incidence of heart disease, infections and malignancies.
In addition, some doctors have been concerned that the mentally retarded would not faithfully take the medicines they need after the transplant in order to prevent rejection, according to Martens.
"One of the main reasons for organ failure is that patients may not take their immunosuppressant medications as regularly as they should," she said.
"But we don't see that with the MR population, probably because they have caregivers who are making sure they follow their instructions. Some of the doctors we talked to said compliance was better than with their other patients."
Reiss cautioned that more study is needed because this study examined published research, and doctors may have been more likely to publish about their successful cases than those that failed.
That, combined with the fact that transplants among those with MR are relatively rare, prompted Ohio State's Nisonger Center to begin developing an international registry of organ transplants among the mentally retarded.
The registry will track people with MR who have had transplants to see how they fare, and also list those who are awaiting transplant.
"With this registry, we will be able to learn more about organ transplants in the mentally retarded and help find appropriate matches for those on waiting lists," Reiss said.

I am about 8 rows into a baby blanket- my first real project and my first time using circular needles. I'll try to explain as best I can what happened, and I have pics, if I can figure out how to get them on here- I was knitting and trying to push the stitches I had finished down the needle more (to give myself room) but 3 stitches fell back and off the other way. They unraveled right away and went 2 rows back (meaning I have lost the 3 stitches on either side, so I have a long row of yarn on both sides). I watched the video on the lost stitch, but since there seem to be 2 rows affected, I wasn't sure how to fix it. Any help is greatly appreciated! If my pics show up- the top is the working side, middle is the non-working side and bottom is a top view of both sides.
You can pick up the sts either1) one column at a time2) or one row at a time. I find this easier in this situation. Put the sts to be worked on the L needle. Use the 1st (lowest) strand of dropped yarn in back to knit. Repeat.
If you worked across these sts with the working yarn, you'll need to take that row out too to get the sts down to where the dropped sts started.

Mr. Mallach's contribution to the analysis of individual housing markets points to the need to preserve the housing that we already have. As someone who spent many years enforcing the New York City Housing Maintenance Code and in having rent receivers appointed to owner neglected buildings I can say the one thing that can be done to keep apartment supply stable is not to lose apartments on the back end, i.e. owner neglect and general deterioration.
Yes, adding new units where land acquisition costs are high and construction costs prohibitive does not necessarily add enough affordable units in an over developed market such as New York City or certain areas of Chicago, but perhaps it is time to look again at code enforcement efforts and rent receiverships to seal off the drain from the back end of what is available. Inclusionary zoning is only part of the problem.

All over the world kids are coming up with creative ways to make a difference.
See how Emilie helped raise money for the victims of the floods in Pakistan.
Q: How old are you?
A: I'm 9 years old.
Q: Where do you live?
A: I live in Rome, Italy.
Q: What do you want to be when you grow up?
A: I want to be an actress when I grow up.
Q: Why did you want to raise money for the victims of the floods in Pakistan?
A: My mom told me about the flood so it gave me an idea. I wanted to raise money because I was feeling bad about the people who need lots of help and I was thinking about how I could help them.
Q: How did you raise the money?
A: I raised the money by making a lemonade stand. I was at my grandma's house and it was summer and had the idea to sell lemonade. When my mom told me about the floods in Pakistan I thought I could give the money from the lemonade stand to the World Food Programme to help.
Q: How much did you raise?
A: With the lemonade stand I raised $200.00 and I made a little speech at my grandma's church and I raised $500.00.
Q: What would you say to another kid who thought that they couldn't make a difference in the world?
A: I would say that he could always make a difference in the world. It doesn't always have to be money it can be donating things. If everybody did a little thing in the end it could just make a big, big difference in the world.
Have you done something to make a difference in the world? Let us know and you can be one of our 'Kids in Action'.

Cure-all: (N): a remedy for all ills; panacea.
As I am posing shakily in "down dog" position, the lights are dimmed and all is quiet except for breathing and peaceful music. So, I wonder why it is that I can't clear my mind. I'm frustrated, and still sore from my workout yesterday. I wonder how it is that the old lady in the corner has so much balance, how everyone seems to have peace and balance. Mostly though, why I have little to none. Maybe my not being able to focus has to do with why I can't stand for long in a lunge with arms spread out. And goodness, is it hot in here or is it just me?? I mean, I know I've only been in the class for a few minutes now, but I guess I sort of expected to just find it. To find the peace that Buddha had. But I'm shaky, and sore. And unbalanced.
It wasn't until well into the class that I started finding whatever it is that the old lady over there had. Peace. I never could figure out how to totally clear my mind, I don't know if I'll ever have the luxury of having an at ease thought process. But I did eventually feel relaxed. I decided on a method that I learned once in a psychology class, create a mantra to tell yourself when trying to relax. So I created my mantra: "I am quiet. I am peaceful. I am relaxed. I am quiet. I am calm. I am relaxed." Surprisingly, it worked.
By the end of the class, I didn't really want to leave. The stretches, though some seemed stiff and difficult for me, felt wonderful afterwards. I felt more at ease than I had in a while, and thus my moment of serendipity.
You know when you have that moment. When you find something that you may or may not have been looking for, but came up with something so much better instead? That was yoga for me today. Maybe yoga could be a cure-all. Maybe it's the answer. Delving into the thought a bit deeper, I decided it wasn't just yoga itself, but it was me doing yoga. Me finding peace. Me finding quiet and calm. Me discovering something about myself, a peace that I hadn't had in a while.
I knew about this peace once, and unfortunately I'm at a loss for why it was lost. But I had found it in a dark place, and when happiness overcame, I dropped it, feeling like I no longer needed that coping mechanism. Now I'm finding, I was wrong. I always need it. I think all of us always need it. A peace that we find in ourselves through something. Anything that you find it in, really.
So I've decided my doing yoga was perhaps a cure-all for me. Doing meditation in general is a cure-all. A place where even when you are surrounded, you are alone with yourself, and your thoughts. A place where you can decide who you are, and what you want. And sometimes, perhaps that comes without thinking about it at all.
Perhaps the best peace we can have, is the one we find when we aren't looking.
I thought that perhaps I would share a bit extra of the things that make me feel full, and content, and peaceful.

SNP councils ban bedroom tax evictions
All Scottish councils under the control of the country's leading political party have pledged not to evict tenants who have fallen into arrears as a result of the 'bedroom tax'.
Scottish National Party councillors from the country's nine SNP-led authorities have signed a pledge saying they will 'use all legitimate means to collect rent due, except eviction' if tenants have done 'all they reasonably can' to avoid falling into arrears as a result of the under-occupation penalty.
Under the penalty, which has been brought in by the Westminster government and comes into force on 1 April, social tenants of working age who are on housing benefit will have their payments cut if they are deemed to be under-occupying their home.
The SNP government has previously called for the penalty to be axed.
Councils in England have also moved to block evictions for tenants who will be hit by the penalty. Green Party councillors in Brighton have promised to introduce a motion that would stop evictions, and Bristol mayor George Ferguson has also said tenants should not be evicted for non-payment.
However concerns have been raised about the practical implications of such a policy, as wider welfare reforms will make it hard to tell whether tenants have fallen into arrears as a result of the penalty or because of other cuts.
Islington Council denied media reports that it is planning a no eviction policy, although executive member for housing James Murray said the council would 'help [tenants] find a way to avoid building up rent arrears and therefore to avoid any prospect of eviction'.
'Since Islington Council has very limited resources to help people being hit by the government's bedroom tax, we are prioritising help for people for whom moving is not an option,' he said. 'The council will support residents to remain in their property if there is no alternative but to stay in their home.'
Nigel Minto, from umbrella body London Councils, said 'no London borough would be likely to give a categorical no eviction pledge', but that they are considering how best to approach possible bedroom tax evictions. He said it was about doing as much as possible to prevent evictions, and treating cases with sympathy.

#09-06-03-004E: Intermittent No Crank/No Start, No Module Communication, MIL, Warning
#09-06-03-004E: Intermittent No Crank/No Start, No Module Communication, MIL, Warning Lights, Vehicle Messages or DTCs Set by Various Control Modules - Diagnosing and Repairing Fretting Corrosion (Disconnect Affected Connector and Apply Dielectric Lubricant) - (Nov 28, 2011)
Subject:Intermittent No Crank/No Start, No Module Communication, MIL, Warning Lights, Vehicle Messages or DTCs Set by Various Control Modules Diagnosing and Repairing Fretting Corrosion (Disconnect Affected Connector and Apply Dielectric Lubricant)
Models:2013 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks
This in RED is from the BCM replacement on a Colorado/Canyon
The ignition switch should be in the OFF position when connecting or disconnecting the connectors to the body control module (BCM).
Always disconnect the black body wiring harness connector FIRST and the gray instrument panel (I/P) wiring harness connector LAST.
!Always connect the black body wiring harness connector FIRST and the gray I/P wiring harness LAST.
Do not open the BCM housing. The module does not have any serviceable components. The module may be replaced only as an assembly.
Attention: This repair can be applied to ANY electrical connection including, but not limited to: lighting, body electrical, in-line connections, powertrain control sensors, etc. DO NOT over apply lubricant to the point where it prevents the full engagement of sealed connectors. A light coating on the terminal surfaces is sufficient to correct the condition.
This bulletin is being revised to add the 2012-2013 model years, update the information and remove the Warranty Information for Saab Models. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number
09-06-03-004D (Section 06 Engine/Propulsion System).
Some customers may comment on any of the following conditions:
An intermittent no crank/no start
Intermittent malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illumination
Intermittent service lamp illumination
Intermittent service message or messages being displayed
The technician may determine that he is unable to duplicate the intermittent condition.
This condition may be caused by a buildup of non-conductive insulating oxidized debris known as fretting corrosion, occurring between two electrical contact surfaces of the connection or connector. This may be caused by any of the following conditions:
Thermal cycling
Poor connection/terminal retention
Micro motion
A connector, component or wiring harness not properly secured resulting in movement
On low current signal circuits this condition may cause high resistance, resulting in intermittent connections.
On high current power circuits this condition may cause permanent increases in the resistance and may cause a device to become inoperative.
Representative List of Control Modules and Components
The following is only a representative list of control modules and components that may be affected by this connection or connector condition and DOES NOT include every possible module or component for every vehicle.
Blower Control Module
Body Control Module (BCM)
Communication Interface Module (CIM)
Cooling Fan Control Module
Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM)
Electronic Brake and Traction Control Module (EBTCM)
Electronic Suspension Control (ESC) Module
Engine Control Module (ECM)
Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Control Module
HVAC Actuator
Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM)
-Any AIR BAG module
-Seat Belt Lap Anchor Pretensioner
-Seat Belt Retractor Pretensioner
-An SIR system connection or connector condition resulting in the following DTCs being set: B0015, B0016, B0019, B0020, B0022, or B0023
Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
Remote Control Door Lock Receiver (RCDLR)
Transmission Control Module (TCM)
Important: DO NOT replace the control module, wiring or component for the following conditions:
The condition is intermittent and cannot be duplicated.
The condition is present and by disconnecting and reconnecting the connector the condition can no longer be duplicated.
Use the following procedure to correct either of the conditions listed above.
1.Install a scan tool and perform the Diagnostic System Check Vehicle. Retrieve and record any existing History, Current, Passed and Failed and Failed Current DTCs from all of the control modules.
⇒ If any DTCs are set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List Vehicle to identify the connector(s) of the control module/component which may be causing the condition. Refer to SI.
⇒ If DTCs are not set, refer to Symptoms Vehicle to identify the connector(s) of the control module/component which may be causing the condition. Refer to SI.
2.When identified, use the appropriate DTC Diagnostics, Symptoms, Schematics, Component Connector End Views and Component Locator documents to locate and disconnect the affected harness connector or connectors that are causing the conditions.
Note:Fretting corrosion looks like little dark smudges on electrical terminals and appear where the actual electrical contact is being made. In less severe cases it may be unable to be seen or identified without the use of a magnifying glass.
Important: DO NOT apply an excessive amount of dielectric lubricant to the connector as shown, as hydrolock may result when attempting to mate the connector.Use ONLY a clean nylon brush that is dedicated to the repair of the conditions in this bulletin.
3.With a one-inch nylon bristle brush, apply dielectric lubricant to both the module/component side and the harness side of the affected connector.
4.Reconnect the affected connector and wipe away any excess lubricant that may be present.
5.Attempt to duplicate the condition by using the following information:
-DTC Diagnostic Procedure
-Circuit/System Description
-Conditions for Running the DTC
-Conditions for Setting the DTC
-Diagnostic Aids
-Circuit/System Verification
⇒ If the condition cannot be duplicated, the repair is complete.
⇒ If the condition can be duplicated, then follow the appropriate DTC, Symptom or Circuit/System Testing procedure. Refer to SI.

Re: #09-06-03-004E: Intermittent No Crank/No Start, No Module Communication, MIL, War
This problem is mostly likely why here where I live a lot of shops make a killing replacing parts that don't need replacing at all.
As far as the connector problem, I call it "chip creep" (a computer tech term) because the same issue happens to computers as does a vehicle.
On trick you can do, when the connector is apart. If you can get at the contact area with a small pencil eraser and rub the surface (does wonders for computer components) to remove the carbon, then do the anti corrosion lube as stated by other members. And that's about it, but also check the wire for flexibility (don't twist it) about an inch before the connector. If it is brittle, then it is burnt inside and not providing the proper voltage. Incorrect voltage or current is all it takes to mess up a sensor. Same thing happens to computers.
I fix computers. I always "push" connectors together when checking under the hood to eliminate chip creep.

I seem to be having this problem randomly spread between a month to three months. Haven't been able to determine cause. Any clues on what connectors I should start with?

Eagles Online
Perhaps you're as anxious for spring as I am and maybe, like me, you can't wait to watch the peregrine webcams.
Many of the falconcams aren't broadcasting yet – or they're boring – because peregrines in the middle latitudes (that's most of the United States) don't lay eggs until March and April.
If you live near a peregrine nest, you'll see the peregrines doing courtship flights and aerial displays but only occasionally visiting the nest. The falconcams don't have much to show.
Bald eagles, on the other hand, are deep into family life right now. Courtship is over, the nest is built, and many of the pairs laid eggs in the last two weeks. The eaglecams are up and running and there's plenty to see.
So while you're waiting for peregrine season to heat up, here are four Eagle Cams to keep you busy:
- The photo above is from the Friends of Blackwater eagle cam at Cambridge, Maryland on the Eastern Shore. Check the Eagle Gallery to see them incubating eggs in a late January snow storm. The adult eagle was covered in snow!
- Our ever favorite pair at Norfolk Botanical Garden in Norfolk, Virginia has laid two three eggs. This is the couple who lived through Peyton Place last year with multiple nesting attempts and a chick with avian pox. Fortunately, everything's fine so far this year.
- You can watch the most successful bald eagle pair in Maine on the BioDiversity Research Institute eagle cam in Gorham, Maine.
- And there are two eggs at the eagle's nest at the National Conservation Training Center in Shepherdstown, West Virginia. This site is near the Potomac River in West Virginia's eastern panhandle, less than 4 miles from Antietam Battlefield.
Have fun watching eagles online.
p.s. The number of eggs at these nests keeps going up. See the comments!

Just thought you would like to know that there are 3 eggs each at Norfolk and NCTC. You can visit my links page or beakspeak.com to view other eagle and bird nests!
Nice blog!

I can't contribute to eagle and/or falcon mating, but can say — from the slightly more northern latitudes of Albany/Schenectady — that I saw a pair of red-tail hawks mating this past Monday (16-Feb), at dawn, while perched on the overhanging pole of a highway street light.
I imagine that we, here, must be some number of days behind the warmer Pittsburgh area. (Believe me; it is COLDER up here!!).
I hope to see a bald eagle, just as I had last year, on the Hudson River, in the spring months.
# Heather Jacobyon 27 Feb 2009 at 8:26 pm
The one eagle cam seems to have a discussion group for it as well. What a great idea!
# Tracion 22 Mar 2009 at 7:56 pm
The Norfolk Botanical Garden Eagel Pair has two chicks!! So awesome!!
If it hadn't been for the webcam, neither my son or I would have ever had the privlidge of seeing them!!
Just beautiful. When we tuned in, one of the pair had brought a fish and was feeding the chicks. There seems to be one egg left to hatch.
Thanks for posting those links!! Thanks for your whole blog!! It's incredible!!

may only be limited success with this approach.
To establish an effective best practice, it must be supported from both the senior management level and the grass roots level (and all levels in between). In other words, in order to establish a best practice, it should be established collaboratively. However, do not make the mistake of interpreting this as creating a practice by committee. By collaboration, I mean identify subject matter experts (SMEs) who are on the ground and that know this type of practice well and has insight on what may work. Then look for that practice within the organization that is currently working for a group and harvest this as an example. This is effectively a best practice for that group. However, just because the practice works for a group and is "best" for them, does not mean it will scale to the organization level.
This is where the collaboration of the SMEs comes in. The SMEs can review the examples they have harvested, look for the commonalities, and then adjust it for a broader scope. The SMEs would also ensure that the practice has all appropriate components to ensure a more successful adoption.
The next step would then be to pilot it across several different groups to see if it works effectively in those areas. The goal of the pilot is to identify improvements and to see how much tailoring may be needed for adoption depending on the group size, type, or complexity. After some tweaking, it can be rolled out to a larger audience using the training component of the practice which provides education on the practice and its component parts. If adoption is seen in many parts of the organization, then the practice may be termed a "best practice" for the organization.
Potential Practices in Configuration Management (CM)
Within the CM field, there are a number of practices that are prevalent within organizations. If you are beginning CM within an organization, consider the following practice as a starting point.

2016 is set to be an exciting and busy year. Susanna looks forward to making her Wigmore Hall recital debut with duo partner Matthew Schellhorn in June, and singing the Countess in Le nozze di Figaro with Longborough Festival Opera in the summer. She will also be travelling the UK once again with English Touring Opera, performing the roles of Donna Anna Don Giovanni, 1st Priestess and Greek Woman Iphygénie en Tauride, and Bice Pia de' Tolomei.
Susanna's previous roles with ETO have included Eleonora Il furioso all'isola di San Domingo and cover Gismonda Ottone. Last autumn she made her Royal Opera House debut in Gluck's Orphée for John Eliot Gardiner, also touring the production to Hamburg and The Palace of Versailles. Other operatic roles include Juno La Calisto (Hampstead Garden Opera), Donna Elvira Don Giovanni (Co-Opera Co. and Opera Vera), Armida Rinaldo (dir. Nicholas Kraemer), Lady Billows Albert Herring (dir. Steuart Bedford/Bill Bankes-Jones), and Papagena Magic Flute (Opera in Oborne, including offstage flute). She created the role of Agrippina in Fragments of Sun, written for her by Effy and Litha Efthymiou and premiered at the Tête à Tête Opera Festival 2012. Chorus work includes Carmen at the Opéra Comique, Paris and Grand Théâtre, Luxembourg, including the acting/fighting part of Manuelita (dir. John Eliot Gardiner/Adrian Noble), and Le Freischütz again at the Opéra Comique and BBC Proms 2012.
Previous significant solo engagements have included Beethoven Symphony No. 9; Bruckner Te Deum; Messiah in Oslo and Madrid; Beethoven's great concert aria Ah! perfido; Schumann with The Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, Israel in Egypt at Cadogan Hall and covering Missa Solemnis on an international tour of Beethoven, all with John Eliot Gardiner; Messiah at the Wales Millennium Centre; St. John Passion in Birmingham Symphony Hall; Tavener Veil of the Temple in Canterbury Cathedral in the composer's presence; Dvořák Stabat Mater; Finzi Dies Natalis; Poulenc Gloria; Carmina Burana; Mozart C Minor Mass at the Trinity College of Music Sir Charles Mackerras Memorial Concert conducted by Sian Edwards; and two solo appearances on BBC One – O Holy Night on Christmas Day 2010 and The One Show in May 2014. She was also heard on the soundtrack of the BBC adaptation of JK Rowling's The Casual Vacancy, now available as a track on iTunes.
A keen recitalist and explorer of contemporary music, Susanna made her Southbank debut in the 2013 Park Lane Group January series at the Purcell Room, where she has since performed a variety of other repertoire including works by Messiaen, Judith Weir, Joseph Horovitz, and Robert Saxton. As a duo, Susanna and Matthew have performed many recitals around the country. As well as their Wigmore Hall appearance this year they will also be performing at St James's, Piccadilly and Chelsea Arts Club. Susanna recently performed David Blake's fascinating and colourful cantata From the Mattress Grave with Ensemble Isis in Oxford
Susanna met with success from the moment she decided to swap the flute for a career as a singer. Even before she had had many lessons, she won an Apprenticeship with The Monteverdi Choir and John Eliot Gardiner, leading to a busy international touring schedule with the group, performing in top world venues such as Carnegie Hall New York, Vienna Musikverein, Amsterdam Concertgebouw, and all of London's major venues. This somehow jigsawed together with her postgraduate studies at Trinity College of Music, where she was supported by the Linda Pilgrim Charitable Trust, a Henry Wood House Bursary and TCM Scholarship, and won the Paul Simm Opera Prize, Wilfred Greenhouse Allt Prize, and the English Song Competition.
Some of Susanna's other passions are Bikram Yoga, taramasalata and her red Brompton bicycle. She recently qualified as an Open Water Diver in the beautiful seas of Borneo.

Like a Brick with a Lens: Lomo Revue Auto RS2014-01-23 3 5 Share Tweet
Even on vacation I like to go to flea markets. So I did on my trip to Berlin last December. There, I found a whole bunch of mostly broken and also few intact cameras at a flea market. I knew I would actually buy one, when I saw the ΛOMO logo. Despite a similar feel, I didn't have a brick in hand but a Lomo Revie Auto RS.
The Lomo Revue Auto RS, an export variant of the Lomo Sokol Automat (Сокол Автомат) is a rangefinder camera with automatic exposure control. It was produced between 1966 and 1978 for the market of the GDR. During this time, about 226,000 pieces were produced, one of which eventually found its way to me. The most striking feature of the Lomo Revue Auto RS is its weight (it's quite heavy!) and the clumsy-looking appearance.
It is suitable for 35 mm films with speeds from 16 to 320 ASA or ISO. The film speed is set in the front on a ring on the lens and displayed in a small window below the lens.
The firmly-built Industar-70 lens has a focal length of 50mm and a 55mm filter thread with an aperture up to f/16. Focus and shutter speed are set. The shutter speed is 1/30 to 1/500s and allows B-Mode for long exposures with the a cable release.
To change the shutter speed, the shutter must be cocked. The ring engages in the A setting. If you want to change this, the ring must be unlocked first.
A highlight of this camera is its rangefinder. There is a small box in the center of the image that appears twice. It is slightly offset in the middle of the viewfinder image. This second figure is moved horizontally by operating the focus ring. The object is then in focus when alignment is made. This doesn't succeed so well in portrait format therefore it is advisable to focus horizontally before shooting portrait-style photographs.
The aperture is controlled by the sensor that has 3 CdS cells above the lens. It also regulates the shutter speed or locks the trigger at imminent false exposure. To photograph with the automatic exposure control, it requires a 625U 1.5V battery. It's a previously unknown battery format for me but it can be purchased easily at the photo shop or even at electronics discount stores.
Any flash can be attached on the hotshoe which can be triggered via the two PC slots.
Next to the viewfinder on the left side of the back, the serial number can be found. The first two digits indicate the year of production of the camera.
The Lomo Revue Auto RS was a stroke of luck, really. Of course, the Revue is no LC-A and certainly no high quality camera. But for anyone who wants to offer a new home to a nice piece of Soviet technology and likes to invite randomness to Lomowalks, the Lomo Revue is a good candidate.
Unfortunately, I had trouble with the film advance and rewind knob that my first roll of film got torn. It's quite a shame that I can only show you a few pictures:

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a type of arthritis that is associated with a skin condition known as psoriasis. Psoriasis tends to appear first before the onset of arthritis, though in a small number of people, the joint disease can appear before the psoriasis.
Psoriasis is a long-term skin condition that causes a scaly skin rash. Up to 30% of people with psoriasis will get PsA. The main symptoms of PsA are joint pain, swelling, stiffness, and damage. See "Symptoms of PsA" to learn more about other PsA symptoms.
PsA is a rheumatic disease and is also considered an inflammatory disease, which means that it can cause joint inflammation and pain. Other examples of inflammatory diseases are rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis.
Men and women are equally likely to get PsA. It usually affects people 20 to 50 years of age, but it may strike at any age. PsA and psoriasis tend to run in families. If your parent had psoriasis or PsA, you are more likely to have it, too. You are also more likely to get PsA if you have psoriasis of the nails.
There are 5 subtypes of PsA:
- Polyarticular, symmetric arthritis is very much like rheumatoid arthritis but with less severe symptoms. It usually affects the same joints on both sides of the body.
- Oligoarticular, asymmetric arthritis does not occur on the same joints on both sides of the body and can affect a few or many joints.
- Distal interphalangeal joint predominant usually involves the furthest joint of the fingers and toes and usually nail changes are apparent.
- Spondylitis predominant involves the spinal column, causing stiffness of the neck, lower back, or spinal joints. It is not the same as ankylosing spondylitis.
- Arthritis mutilans usually affects the small joints of the hands and feet and can cause severe deformities.
These classifications are used but experts recognize that there is a lot of overlap between these subtypes of PsA. One person may have a mix of several subtypes.
The exact cause of psoriatic arthritis is not known. Psoriatic arthritis can have a major impact on your quality of life. But with proper treatment, you can get back to normal living. You can take control of this disease. Talk to your doctor about how to build your own treatment plan.

SPORTS GALORE: Time for a change
By the time you read this, or at least soon afterward, I will be a father for the first time.
The arrival of Addyson Lou Bentley will turn my world upside down. And that is a good thing.
I have spent the last 20- odd years doing things that I wanted to do. This will no longer be the case and of course that is a good thing.
I have spent the past nine months waiting for this moment. So many thoughts, questions, fears and so on have crossed through my mind during this time.
Will I be a good father? Will she be healthy? Will I be able to juggle a full-time job and business along with family life
Those questions just graze the top of the list. I'm pretty certain I know the answer to most of my questions and I realize having these thoughts and questions is normal.
There is another question I think of frequently and one that is truly not as important as the ones mentioned above. But being a sports column I feel the need to touch on the topic.
What kind of a sports parent will I be? Clearly, this question comes to mind because of my profession.
My life revolves around sports, being near athletes and ultimately being with-in hearing range of parents.
A look at my Twitter posts the other day tells you where I stand with regards to being within hearing range. I can stand in certain spots for just a minimal amount of time.
With that being said, I sure hope I am not like the many parents I hear quite often.
Obviously, this concern will only matter if Addy (that's what we plan to call her) plays sports. Given my background and also April's, she will play sports.
The most annoying things I hear are just constant chatter about playing time, coaches' decisions, the play of their kids' teammates and the never ending berating of officials. It just gets old hearing all of this nonsense.
Sports are supposed to be fun and a learning experience. Most of the parental griping goes against everything sports are supposed to be about: discipline, respect, teamwork and sportsmanship.
It seems as if it gets worse every year. It is something I hope changes for the better.
I plan on keeping sports fun for Addy. I plan on preaching schoolwork first. She will have a better chance of an academic scholarship, rather than an athletic one.
Time passes far too quickly to act like a few — not all — of the parents I often see and hear.
I plan to enjoy watching her play and don't plan on embarrassing her — although I'm sure that will happen at some point.
I am looking forward to the next 18 years and beyond.

Moving to Suffolk to escape the rat race
Many people spend a lifetime in the city, longing for the day they can escape the rat race and move out to the country. Where to go can be a difficult choice and this handy article highlights the lovely county of Suffolk as a charming destination.
The area is full of 'chocolate-
Suffolk is where the famous landscape artist John Constable painted many scenes of the Dedham Vale on the Essex/Suffolk border near his birthplace of East Bergholt.
His best-known paintings include Dedham Vale, painted in 1802 and The Hay Wain, painted in 1821. Yet in his lifetime, he sold most of his paintings to buyers in France.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Suffolk has a thriving arts community and attracts many people from across East Anglia, plus commuters who want to kick back at the weekends and escape the confines of city life.
Music and art combine at Aldeburgh's Snape Maltings, which is the scene of a Festival of Music and Arts each year. You'll find other arts events there throughout the year. But if dance is your thing then visit DanceEast on the rejuvenated Ipswich waterfront where you'll find world-class dance performances, and there are many more Suffolk attractions to keep your attention. Check out the Anglo-Saxon royal burial site at Sutton Hoo, near Woodbridge.
Historically, Suffolk has a rich past. Important Anglo-Saxon communities were set up here at Sudbury and Ipswich and the county boundaries have undergone very little change. However, the same cannot be said about its coastline from Walberswick in the north to Landguard in the south, as coastal erosion is on the minds of the local community and local government alike.
But it is this same coastline that is the source of so much pleasure for families and friends as there is a well-trodden tourist trail to the area, especially in towns close to the coast from Felixstowe to Aldeburgh and beyond.
In the height of summer, why not see if you can rent out one of the lovely beach huts in Southwold. If you wanted to own one you will have to dig deep in your pocket as one made the front page of the local newspaper in recent times when it sold for almost £100,000. So renting one for a week is a much better option if you are visiting.
After doing your homework and deciding you are going to take the plunge and pack up all your goods and chattels in London to head for Suffolk, you might be wanting your elderly relatives to be nearer to you so you can look out for them easier.
If you are searching for somewhere for them to live look towards Southwold, Bury St Edmonds, Walberswick and Felixstowe care homes to name but a few. There they can enjoy the rest of their days in tranquil surroundings with a live-in community for company.
Getting to Suffolk is relatively easy from London and the south east. By road you can either connect to the A12 or A11/A14, and trains from London Liverpool Street run hourly to Suffolk and more frequently during peak times.

There are few herbs which give the connotation of "fresh" like mint does. A vibrant, bright, opening of the senses. As most home gardeners will know, there is hardly only one kind of mint. For culinary use, it is easiest to break it down to two main types, spearmint and peppermint, then allow the derivatives flow from there.
Spearmint will be the most common mint directly eaten. A bit more mellow, it imparts that beautifully fresh flavor without blowing open the sinuses with an overly bright impression. Garden Peas or Roasted Carrots with Mint – spearmint. Mint clustered in billowing piles served alongside Vietnamese cuisine – spearmint. For those mojitos, grab the spearmint. For our garden, 75% of the mint we grow is spearmint. It gets used incessantly in our cooking, especially with Vietnamese dishes being our culinary staple.
Then there is peppermint. Bright, full of life and freshness, but often overpowering when eaten straight. Think – mint chip ice cream or candy canes. That is the flavor of peppermint. It was with mint chip ice cream in mind which drove us to dedicate a plot to this sinus clearing bite of freshness.
In digging up a mint chocolate chip ice cream recipe, one doesn't have to look any further than the cult-favorite ice cream bible, David Lebovitz's The Perfect Scoop. Nearly any internet savvy ice cream churners will swoon praises of David's scream and squeal inducer of a book. This is nearly always the first and last book we grab for frozen delicacies and for our mint chocolate chip ice cream was as true as ever.
By combining his Fresh Mint Ice Cream recipe with the Stracciatella instructions, we had the perfect mint chip ice cream. First infusing the peppermint into the milk and sugar until it was a beautiful "emerald" green. Then after mixing, straining, chilling and churning everything together; melted chocolate is slowly drizzled in, instantly hardening then breaking up into perfect "chips." Our weed-like peppermint has no chance of overgrowing now. This mint chocolate chip ice cream has become a household staple.
Mint Chip Ice Cream Recipe
Yield: 1 quart
Total Time: 5 hours
Adapted from David Lebovitz's The Perfect Scoop
- 1 c (250ml) Milk
- 3/4 c (150g) Sugar
- 2 c (500ml) Heavy Cream
- pinch of Sea Salt
- 2 c (80g) lightly packed fresh Peppermint Leaves (or more if you like)
- 5 lrg Egg Yolks
- 5 oz (140g) Dark Chocolate, finely chopped (do not use choc. chips)
- Combine the milk, sugar, 1 c of the heavy cream, and sea salt in a saucepan and gently warm until bathwater warm. Squeeze mint leaves in your hands to help release the oils a bit and add to warm milk mixture. Stir until they are all settled into to the saucepan, remove pan from heat, cover, and set aside for 1-2 hours (depending on how minty you'd like the ice cream to be.)
- Strain the mint-infused mixture into another med. sized saucepan, using a fine mesh strainer. Squeeze the mint leaves to extract as much of the delicious minty-ness you can out of them, then discard the mint leaves.
- Prepare for the final step by putting the remaining 1 c of heavy cream in a medium bowl with a fine mesh strainer over the top. Prepare an ice bath which this medium bowl will fit into. Set both aside.
- Gently re-warm the mint mixture, and in a separate medium sized bowl whisk together the egg yolks. Slowly pour the mint mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly. Pour this mixture back into the saucepan and return to the heat.
- Heat over med. heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of the spoon. Pour the thickened mixture through the fine mesh strainer into the remaining heavy cream. Place bowl in the ice bath and stir to combine and cool the mixture in the ice bath.
- Chill the mixture in the refrigerator until fully chilled.
- After mint ice cream mixture is fully chilled in the fridge, begin gently melting dark chocolate in a saucepan over simmering water (or directly in a saucepan if you have a cooktop which will cycle on and off like Thermador's XLO (ExtraLow) function.
- Begin churning ice cream in your ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. When the ice cream is nearly finished freezing in the ice cream maker, slowly drizzle the melted chocolate into the ice cream, trying to avoid pouring onto the paddle or dasher. If the chocolate clings to the paddle (dasher) stop the ice cream maker and use a spatula or spoon to break up any chunks. Put mint chip ice cream in freezer to finish setting the ice cream if necessary.

For those of you who have been dying to see a half-naked James Franco on the beaches of St. Pete, the wait is over! I found quite a collection of a shirtless (and slightly meatier) Mr. Franco for you to feast your eyes on.
James Franco put on some weight to play his rap-star role in Spring Breakers. Personally, I like the extra padding! What do you think? CLICK HERE!

The Rock More Willing For WrestleMania, WWE Releases, More
– The actual numbers for WWE's show at Madison Square Garden last weekend was 18,500 fans for a gate of $795,000. This is 700 fans short of a sell-out and possibly WWE's largest non-PPV gate ever in the United States.
– While several WWE talents are expected to be released after WrestleMania, most of those will likely not come as a result of WWE Superstars on WGN America being canceled, as some are speculating. WWE is planning to still tape Superstars for their website and international TV markets. Still, several midcard talents will be released to make way for new stars from FCW.
– Regarding The Rock's participation at WrestleMania 27 besides being guest host, it's said that he is now willing to do more than he was when he originally made the deal to come back. There's no word yet on what WWE has planned for The Rock, John Cena and The Miz at WrestleMania.

Down the Right Road
My name is Vandella Jasso,
and I'm a junior majoring in Business Administration from Galt, CA.
I have never been more excited for what God has for me because I have learned so much about how beautifully crafted each of our stories are. I am known and seen here at Vanguard and in a society like this world's, that's difficult to come across.
I realized I needed to go to a Christian college to keep going down the right road with my faith and life. I wanted an education that incorporated faith into the schooling because I desired to learn more about my personal relationship with Christ and the Bible simultaneously. It was very important to me to surround myself with other believers so that I could be immersed in a community that continually pushed me to be a better person and explore what life God has designed for me specifically. I decided to make Vanguard my next big decision. Since then, it has been the best decision that I've ever made.
I have been stretched, pushed, cradled, and loved more than ever before. I have authentic friendships and incredible mentors in Student Leadership, my classes, and the Redemption church that I am a part of in Costa Mesa.
One professor in particular has mentored me since the beginning of my journey at Vanguard. Two years ago, as a first semester Freshman, I met my Persuasive Writing professor, Karrie Preasmyer. The first day of class I was drawn to the way she cared more about how we were doing with the transition into college individually than quickly jumping into the course work. That day, I asked her to be my mentor because we had been encouraged to seek out someone to walk with us throughout our Vanguard experience. Ever since, we have been meeting throughout the semesters and she has welcomed me into her home to spend time with her family and has been walking with me through my journey at Vanguard. She has been a consistent supporter and encourager in all areas of my life. She inspires me to follow my passions, to love others with intention and seek God in it all.
Receiving financial aid has created a way for me to be able to attend this school. No other school that I have come across has this much financial support for their students. It shows that alumni and donors believe in Vanguard and what we stand for and that is the most precious gift, more than just a check. The message behind those dollar signs means the world to me because I am benefiting not only financially, but I am evolving into the person that God created me to be and I could not see myself going through life anywhere else.
After I graduate, I am looking forward to using my Business degree and Sociology minor to work in the nonprofit sector to help others in the way God has gifted me. I hope to use the business techniques and passion for helping people in a capacity of higher leadership within a nonprofit. I know God will use my desire for traveling in this area as well, as long as I remain open and willing to follow wherever He will take me.
I desire to continue spending time traveling the world and learning more about other cultures and different ways of life. This love of travel was first sparked when I went out of the country for the first time at eleven years old with an organization, People to People. After exploring England and Scotland then Australia the following summer, I knew I could do more than travel and enjoying the world as my playground. My first mission's trip was to Chapultepec, Mexico with my home church Horizon Community Church in Galt, CA. Every year since I was fifteen I have been back, either building houses or leading teams in ministering to orphanages. With the experience in missions and traveling I have been blessed with, I pray that God continues to take me around the world to minister and serve in any capacity that He equips me with.
Different chapel opportunities, Theology classes and conversations with peers have pushed me to learn more about the Bible, different denominations and my own personal relationship with Christ. I have been able to have some of the deepest conversations I have ever been faced with because of the safe and open space that is here at Vanguard; it really is a very special environment.
I never could have thought up the plan that has been unfolding over the last two years here at VU. I continually reflect on how far God has brought me and how faithful He has been to me through the good, the bad and the ugly.
Over the last two years I have not been able to spend a significant amount of time at home however I have been incredibly blessed to have two amazing parents and two precious siblings that have given me the opportunity to step away from the role as the eldest sibling to find myself with Christ. When I do get the opportunity to travel back home, we spend time together that is much more meaningful than ever before. They have been the constant supporters that have continually reminded me where I come from and what I am living for throughout all the change and growth I have experienced.
I have never been more excited for what God has for me because I have learned so much about how beautifully crafted each of our stories are. I am known and seen here at Vanguard and in a society like this world's, that's difficult to come across.

Cool for Cats
With my new-found hate/love relationship with DIY, I've been keen on unearthing some fashionable interior gems. Which is why I was delighted when I stumbled upon Brennan and Burch's new lifestyle range.
The designers were previous fashion designers specialising in street wear, with collections showcased everywhere from the U.K to Japan. They're now focused on taking the interior design world by storm, with their unique take on wallpaper, giant vinyl wall stickers and cushions based on the illustrations from Lisa Brennan.
Although I love their Skull frame wallpaper, I heart their cat cushion – a must for my sofa! How cute is this?!!

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has been assured a final decision over Alex Song's sale will be left to him.
The Mirror says Wenger may consider a big offer from Barcelona for Song, but is under no pressure to sell as the midfielder's contract does not expire until 2015.
Arsenal would also want a ready-made replacement to be lined up before doing business with Barca.

NBA/NFL/...etc athletes in MMA.
Just a question for you guys.
Which current athletes in other major sports in the US would you think would do really well in MMA. Now im not saying that we just through a football/basketball/hockey fresh into MMA and see how they do.
Imagine that they have been training MMA instead of their respected sports their whole lives, and with the same dedication and physical prowess would be transferred into their MMA skills. Who do you think would do the best.
My opinion it would be LeBron James. Guy's 6'8", 250 pounds, and just an amazing athlete. Would fit perfectly into the heavyweight division and I can see him dominating that division.
Now who do you guys think would do really really well in MMA if they had been training for MMA instead of their own sports based upon their skills in their sports.
Probably Fedor.
i would think the hockey players are most likley, think back to like Marty McSorly, Bob Probert, Ulf Samulson, Chris Chelios.... names go one, the ones that took some huge damage, got into fights and never missed a game. Hell Chris Chelios tore his ACL (I think, mighta been MCL) early one season, said nothing, lead the Blackhawks in points, minutes, assists and i wanna say +/- for the season, then made mention of it and then had surgery.
hockey players are a different breed... part psycho.. just like fighters! what other sport outside of fighting do you see guys get huge gashes, lose teeth, break jaws and not only keep going but tell people to eff off they still going!!
Hockey players about the only ones that i think could handle it.
Yao Ming's reach advantage will probably do the trick.
Ray lewis maybe, matt roth
Well based on just sheer toughness, I also have to bring up professional rugby players. Those bastards are tough as hell.
Well, if Lebron had been practicing MMA for his whole life instead of basketball, he probably would have. That is what my question is. What athletes in other sports would do really well in MMA had they been training MMA their whole life's instead of the sport they are in right now.
im a big basketball guy, i play college basketball. lebron james was was named national highschool b-ball player of the year for 3 straight years, he was also the top highschool football player for his last 2 years of highschool, he is an athletic freak. if he had dedicated his whole life to martial arts im sure he could have done great. But in general i dont see nba players doing well, we are to lanky in most parts, in someways it could help, but in others not so much, will we ever see it? never know
Yao Ming Vs Hong man Choi at K-1 Field's Dynamite....Lets make this happen.
