Act 3
(At Mortdale hospital)
Lucy: George! George! George Admin! Is he alive is he...?
Doctor: His family just left, yes his alive.
(Lucy and Greg breath sighs of relief)
Greg: Thank you Jesus.
Dean: Yeah Thanks Jesus.
Lucy: Can we see him?
Doctor: Yes of course, be careful though he is still in need of rest.
(They are led to George's room, the three of them enter; George is on a bed sitting up on there is a large bandage on his stomach)
Greg: Hey how you doin' bud?
George: Fine… fuck… never been stabbed or shot before it friggin hurts…
Lucy: Will you live through this?
George: What? Course I will, not getting rid of me that easily.
Dean: Shoot.
Greg: What?
Dean: Shoo! There's a fly in my face!
Lucy: There's always a lot of flies round you.
Dean: Yeah tell me about it.
George: Still, I have a bit of internal damage but it should heal. Unfortunately that may take quite a few days, so I'm stuck here for a while.
Dean: Did you hear,who got selected?
George: Yeah Andrew and Richard told me, so Greg I knew you'd be in… Imogen could be a challenge. Gordon can run fast but has no real muscle, Asif is intelligent and Elliot may have hidden abilities.
Greg: And that's just the four from our school.
George: The rest could be lethal, Greg be careful.
Greg: Even if I tried George, that won't be the case.
(Later at Mortdale Prison)
(Greg bursts in)
Receptionist: NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT!?
Greg: TAKE ME TO SEE FRANK TIBET!
Receptionist: OKAY DON'T KILL ME!
(Greg is taken to Frank)
Frank: Hello Greg.
Greg: YOU SON OF A BITCH, HIRING A HIT-MAN SO I WOULD BE ENTERED INTO THIS TOURNAMENT!
Frank: Doesn't it take you at least a couple of days to figure this evil plot out?
Greg: I'm gettin' better at figuring out how you scumbags work.
Frank: Well I can confirm it was me, my star Pupil Kyle was selected, he smuggled the phone to me, and I hired the hit man to shoot whoever was first selected and then… well I knew you'd volunteer or else my Crestor Crew will have killed whoever was selected. But being Greg and being noble you had to save a life right?
Greg: You shot George, he didn't die, and I will make sure no one else does either your Crestor Crew won't their a stinkin' fingers on nobody!
Frank: Gregory, of course they will, seeing as I am locked up I can't do a thing, but my selected pupils were allowed at to "Redeem" themselves. They are very good at playing dumb, my bunch, but I have also trained them, they are lethal killing machines, you think the likes of Ethan were bad? They were just the nerds! Ha! Greg you will die in this tournament, my plan is genius.
Greg: I'll fight this is not over yet.
(turns to leave)
Frank: It will be… on Wednesday
(Back at home, Greg walks in)
Daz: Oh yam back?
Greg: As you can clearly see.
Daz: Well Greg say hullo to me new girlfriend Naz.
Naz: Alrite babe how am yow?
Greg: Naz is short for what?
Naz: Nadia, but say that out loud. Jesus it's embarrassing!
Greg: Right, I guess you heard Daniel.
Daz: Course Greg you're gonna win!
Naz: I work...
Greg: You work!?
Naz (ignoring him) ...at the local betting store and you're in 6th place to win.
Greg: Wait why 6th?
Naz: Behind them Black Crestor's aren't ya!
Greg: How could I forget where I stand.
Daz: Doe feel bad Greg, see here you ain't dying, not my watch!
Naz: That's right! Even though I have only known you for a few seconds, I will be cheering you on to get all that lovely mon… I mean cheering you own to survive.
Daz: So any tactics for the first challenge?
Greg: I don't even know what it is.
Daz: Well be yourself.
Naz: It got you this far right?
Greg: Yeah I suppose, I better go think about this…
(The Next day Tuesday the 24th of November)
Greg: Well I have to meet the other competitors today. (Leaves house without interrupting Naz or Daz's sex session)
Greg (thinking): That Naz seems like a bit of gold digger, and Daz promised me he'd get a good girlfriend, well I hope my first impression is not a lasting impression.
(Arrives at St. Amanda's)
Mrs Conrad: Ah Greg you've arrived. The other 20 competitors will be here soon were all meeting for a photo-shoot.
Greg: Photo-shoot? Damn this sounds big.
Mrs Conrad: Locally yes, with the photo-shoots and you may even gain fans…
(Jack pops up from nowhere)
Jack: Did I hear the word, fans?
(Greg jumps) Greg: HOLY SHIT IN MY CATTLE SHAPED SHOE! How did you get here?
Mrs Conrad: Get out you foolish excuse of a boy! You're not a competitor!
Jack: But yeah that's the thing you see, no photo is complete without…
(He takes off his top)
Jack: ...Mah sexah bodieh!
Greg: Jesus Christ put that away!
Mrs Conrad: Jack where is Florence? Isn't she the more deluded and fame-hugunry of the pathetic pairing of you?
Jack: Well Florence is acting, normal and she doesn't know it, she doesn't know I'm here… BUT I HAVE CAUGHT THE FAME-BUG!
Greg: I knew it!
Mrs Conrad: You'll be catching something else in a minute.
Jack: That is?
Mrs Conrad: Your own head, if you don't get out!
Jack: Just one cameo appearance as a model?
Mrs Conrad: No.
Jack: Come on you can't cut me short of this chance!
Mrs Conrad: I will cut you short of your life, if you don't get out! So get out now!
(He eventually does)
Greg: Darn it, his caught a severe case of deadly delusion.
Mrs Conrad: Still could be worse could be both of them, ah look the others have arrived.
(Asif, Gordon, Imogen and Elliot have arrived)
Asif: So what's going on?
Greg: Meet and greeting the others and then, photo-shoot.
Mrs Conrad: Quick we need to be ready the officials have arrived, with the Mortdale Secondary Schoolers and the St. John's bunch.
(The group from St. John's enter first, two girls and three boys are the competitors but these five are very dull and forgettable)
Imogen: Hey, so what's your name?
St. John's Girl: Oh erm…
Imogen: God you're quiet, speak up!
St. John's Boy: Err, excuse me, Miss, we err…
Imogen: What?
St. John's Boy: We don't like to speak very loudly.
Imogen: What I can't hear you!
St. John's Girl: He said we don't….
(The Mortdale Secondary schoolers enter at this point well built boys that Asif mutters to himself look "hard")
Greg: So ermm, how you are fellow competitor?
Mortdale Secondary Schooler boy: Get in the way of me and my 20 million quid I'll rip your fucking head off you got that wanker?
Greg:( Gulping) Understood…
(One of the Secondary Schoolers pushes a timid St. John's boy to the floor and laughs at Gordon)
Mortdale Secondary Schooler boy: HA! GUYS LOOK AT THIS NOB HEAD! SKINNY ASS WEAKLING!
(Ringing laughter)
Gordon: (squeaking) : I AM STRONG!
Officials: Nice to see a lot of bonding, ah look, the Greenwood's have arrived.
(The Greenwood gang enter, two boys and three girls, one of the boys is a snob, the other seems fairly daydream like with white hair and grey eyes, two of the girls are snobs and the other is an emo)
Snob Boy: Oh hello.
Asif: Hi.
(Snob Boy sniffs)
Snob Boy: Ugh, did you wash this morning?
Asif: Excuse me, but I know full well how to wash as a matter of fact.
Snob Boy: Asif you did, Pathetic Inbred.
Asif: Stupid snobby shithead.
Elliot: So ladies, get a load of the Elliot, oh yeah I know you like your future victor alright.
(Two snobby girls walk away giggling)
Elliot: What am I not appealing?
Emo Girl: Obviously not retard, learn to flirt.
Elliot: Shut up bitch.
Emo Girl: How rude, you're certainly not flirting with me.
Elliot: I was not planning too.
Emo Girl: I hope it stays that way.
Greg: Oh lordy, were not getting on, this contest is gonna be the seven circles of hell on earth. (Approaches daydreamer boy) might as well try and make a friend, Hello, Howdy!
Daydreamer: What? oh hello, fellow Human.
Greg: Oh err hi, so err what's your name?
Daydreamer: Did you know names are way of giving you a social tag and can be based on judgements made against you?
Greg: No...
Daydreamer: It's a very interesting fact isn't it? Say the odds of you winning this contest are 25 to 1. But the pundits have put some people ahead on odds to win based on name alone, it's quite ridiculous but part of Human nature.
Greg: Can I just know your name?
Daydreamer: Sebastian, but everyone calls me Bastian.
Greg: How do you do?
Bastian: Okay, what is your name may I ask?
Greg: Greg, or Gregory if you prefer.
Bastian: Yes I see, name like that suggests a unique being, or else an average Joe.
Greg: I'm defiantly like the first one you mentioned, well in this town at least.
Bastian: So you are not of Chav species?
Greg: No, neither are you, why's that?
Bastian: A lot of people call me a loner, but prefer the title of... preferring to spend my time with the company of nature, birds and wildlife, the natural world can tell us a world of things and give us insights into….
Greg: Okay nice talkin' to you…(Thinking) No wonder he is a loner.
Mrs Conrad: The Black Crestor's are here!
(Enter 2 girls and 3 boys from Black Crestor's room goes quiet, one of the boys is hench the other is rather small and skinny but scary looking, the other boy is a fat chav, one of the girls is a stereotypical chav girl and the other, Greg realises is the fat red-headed Black Crest Girl who killed Charlie)
Imogen: So ermm. Hi…
Fat Red Head Black Crest Girl: I'm Leanne, Lez for short, no messing.
Other Girl: I'm Natasha.
Fat boy: Harold.
Big Chav Boy: Timmy.
(Greg bursts out laughing)
Timmy: Ya think that's funny!
Greg: OH MY GOD, big lad like you called Timmy, it's just...
Bastian: See I told you names put stereotypes to people.
Skinny boy: I'm Kyle.
Gordon: So err, Kyle, what do you like to do?
Kyle: I like to burn puppies to death, and rip the innards out of captured kittens, I like to poison hamsters to death with carbon monoxide, and I like to skin farm animals alive and stick their meaty flesh on the walls of my bedroom, the voices in my head say I please them and I was born to do this.
Gordon: (terrified): Right, sounds... interesting.
Kyle: There's more, I like to kill people as well. Once I had this kid and ripped his lungs out his body with a kitchen knife, then I took his still beating heart and ripped it out of his body, he was still screaming by the way. I liked hearing him scream, Mr. Tibet says I should tell everyone about my achievements, it should help me in life.
(Gordon is slowly backing away)
Kyle: I can't wait to kill more people, to crush their eyelids in the sockets, or pop their skulls and brain with a satisfying pop like a melon, the money should be good, but I was born different. People sometimes call me insane but I'm not, in my school I'm accepted as normal, but still I need blood. If I don't get blood soon, I start cutting myself as I dig my knife under my own skin…
(Gordon bursts into tears)
Gordon: DON'T KILL ME!
(Kyle stares at him as the rest of the room goes quiet)
Kyle: Don't be so absurd I do not focus on weaker competitors…
Gordon: Oh Thank God… wait what did you say?
Kyle: OKAY LISTEN EVERYONE! Who here is Greg Winters!
Greg: That would be me.
Natasha: That's the one.
Leanne: We have to aim for him during the tasks, that's what Mr. Tibet told us do to, if we want out town back to normal.
Timmy: Yeah he's dead as soon as the first challenge is done.
Kyle (to Greg): I'm going to rip your guts out and silt your neck wide open and blood will flow…
Greg: Great, nice to meet you too.
Official: PHOTOGRAPHS!
(They are taken, Greg has to be at the front, Imogen is shoved to the side, Elliot tries to smile but fails, Asif barely manages to get into the photo and Gordon looks petrified, the St. John's are shoved behind the Mortdale Secondary Schoolers. The Black Crestor's look viscous, Leanne looks slutty, and Kyle is giving a psychopathic scowl, the Greenwood bunch are dotted around, with Bastian looking like a gorm, with his mouth open and eyes directed at the window.)
Official: Well that went well, you all excited for the first challenge?
Leanne: Very.
Timmy: Can't wait to get fucking started.
Kyle: I can wait no longer.
Gordon: I WANNA GO HOME!
(The effect that Gordon has on people, has now just spread to a larger audience)
Official: Feel free, the photos have just finished, remember to be back at St. Amanda's for 11 o clock tomorrow we have a big surprise!
Mrs Conrad: Well what are you waiting for? Go home.
Naz: (On phone): Fine then bet on Kyle to win, but I bet you when Greg wins the tournament it will be me whose laughing, yeah you're betting 1000 on that? fine!
(Slams phone down)
Daz: You know I cannot wait, for this! Greg is gonna win!
Greg (very nervous now): Ermm what makes you so certain I'll win?
Daz: You survived all that stuff before, so unless someone is specially aiming for you, you'll be fine.
Greg: (Who has not told Daz about Kyle's threat): Yeah (nervous laugh) I'll be fine.
Naz: Yeah I mean like no pressure, I've only bet 1000 quid for like 30 friends that you'll win, so if you do win, we'll have even more money than the 20 million we are already going to have!
Daz: Yeah Greg think about the money!
Greg: Yeah… I'll win for the money. and make us rich.
Daz: That's the spirit!
Greg: I need to go upstairs to get ready.
(Goes upstairs and slams door shut, Greg is breathing very fast and shallow he begins to cry silently).
Greg (thinking): Okay Greg just calm down now… there's still the chance… you can drop out… then Naz and Daz would probably kill me, but still… just…think. You don't know what the task could be...
(Lies down on his lumpy bed)
Greg (thinking): Other than the murder prediction a week ago,this is the only time I know death is coming and this time I know it's aimed at me, God I can't sleep, I can't…

Definition: A prolapse is a medical condition where an organ or tissue falls out of place, or "slips down".

Prolapse Explained

There are many types of prolapse, where a body part moves out of its intended place in the body. These prolapses may not cause any notable symptoms, and may be found during an examination for another issue. In other cases, a prolapse can cause significant discomfort, can decrease the ability of the body to function well.

Prolapse is more common in people with connective tissue disease, which weakens the attachment points of tissues in the body. Other types of prolapse, such as a uterine prolapse, are associated with life events including delivering a very large baby or multiple pregnancies.

Types of Prolapse

A prolapse can happen in many areas of the body. A rectal prolapse, when severe, can lead to the intestine beginning to protrude from the anus. Essentially, the large intestine is no longer held in place properly and begins to slip outside the body.

A uterine prolapse is similar, the uterus and potentially other pelvic organs are no longer well attached the structures of the abdomen and begin to slip down into the vagina, and potentially out of the body. The uterus begins to invert (turn inside out) and fall down. This can cause significant problems, making it difficult to urinate, causing pain, an inability to have intercourse and many other problems. In most cases, surgery is necessary to correct the problem. A hysterectomy may be performed for a prolapsed uterus.

The mitral valve in the heart is also known to prolapse, a condition that is often first noted during a checkup when the healthcare provider is listening to the heart sounds with a stethoscope.

Who Performs the Surgery to Correct Prolapse

The surgery done to treat prolapse will depend on the nature of the prolapse itself. A cardiothoracic surgeon specializing in open heart surgery would likely perform the repair on the mitral valve while a colon-rectal surgeon would likely perform the rectal prolapse repair.

Pronunciation: pro-laps

Also Known As: uterine prolapse, rectal prolapse, prolapsed,

Examples: After the patient was diagnosed with uterine prolapse, she had to decide if a hysterectomy was the right treatment for her.

|[jira] Updated: (LUCENE-1345) Allow Filter as clause to BooleanQuery
|Mon, 28 Jul 2008 22:26:32 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1345?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ] Paul Elschot updated LUCENE-1345: --------------------------------- Attachment: LUCENE-1345.patch Patch of 20080729: all tests pass, but no tests cases for filter clauses yet. Added BooleanFilterClause class, usable as argument to BooleanQuery.add(). API change: made ReqExclScorer package private, added an arg to the constructor. Removed the queueSize variable in DisjunctionSumScorer and in the added DisjunctionDISI. Left the doc caching in ScorerDocQueue and in the added DisiDocQueue. It might be possible to subclass DisjunctionSumScorer from DisjunctionDISI, and to subclass ScorerDocQueue from DisiDocQueue, I have not checked that. Since ConjunctionScorer can handle DocIdSetIterators with this patch, it should improve the speed for Filters when they are added to a BooleanQuery instead of being used as through the current search API. Eks, thanks for DisjunctionDISI, I took it a bit further. > Allow Filter as clause to BooleanQuery > -------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-1345 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1345 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Search > Reporter: Paul Elschot > Priority: Minor > Attachments: DisjunctionDISI.patch, DisjunctionDISI.patch, LUCENE-1345.patch, LUCENE-1345.patch, TestIteratorPerf.java > > -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

London's luxury housing market is set to go into overdrive over the next four years, with 3,800 super-homes - equalling the size of the Olympic Park - likely to be built in 2016 alone.
Emboldened by the success of One Hyde Park — the Knightsbridge development which has achieved record-breaking prices, including the sale of a penthouse to Ukrainian billionaire Rinak Akhmetov for £136 million - builders are targeting wealthy foreign buyers, who bought one in three prime London homes last year, helping push prices up by 29 per cent since 2009, according to estate agents Knight Frank.
Now a report by international property consultants EC Harris predicts high-end developers will complete more than 15,000 new homes over the next decade, with a collective value of £38 billion - more than four times the £9 billion cost of hosting the London Olympic Games.
That compares with just 500 homes completed this year with an average value of more than £1,100sq ft.
The most popular areas for the new homes are set to include Chelsea, Fulham, the South Bank and the City.

Recent additions to the luxury market include Grosvenor Crescent, a boutique development of 15 lateral apartments within a Grade II* listed Regency terrace in Belgravia. Properties for sale include a 4,567 sq ft apartment with three double bedrooms and a private courtyard which is on the market for £19m.
Alternatively the Walpole Mayfair is a conversion of two 18th century houses into five apartments conveniently close to the Ritz Hotel in St James's. A three-bedroom flat is available for £11.5m. And next year buyers will be able to move into The Atrium, Regent's Park, yet another boutique development – and one which will benefit from a 24-hour concierge service run by Harrods Estates. A penthouse flat is on the market for £7.9m.
However critics point out that the high end boom will do nothing to help ordinary buyers in the capital where it is calculated that an extra 37,000 new homes must be built each year to satisfy demand. And a separate report by Knight Frank suggests developers might be overly optimistic about the appetite of the international jet set for London homes – particularly if they build them outside traditional prime areas.
Liam Bailey, head of residential research at Knight Frank, said: "The strength of sales over the past few years has made developers concentrate on the prime and super-prime segments of the market… But with values surging across the capital, it has been tempting for developers to also put up prices for unsuitable property in less attractive areas. This leads to unrealistic pricing… Developers should temper their expectations according to the nature and location of each site."

Good Going Ed. Richly deserved award.
Now, please answer me one question: who is this Ted Rall that Rush mentioned, and has his bitterness finally consumed him to the point that he wanders aimlessly through parks muttering to himself while gesturing randomly?
Mallard T. Drake on February 19, 2010 at 6:40 PM
I must admit, I misted up a little there. No one deserves that more than you Ed, and I never doubt Rush! God bless you.
Dino64 on February 19, 2010 at 7:08 PM

What a Rush!
Kudos for a well-deserved honor!

What's up with that? I thought you and Ace were BFFs?

I can remember back when you were hosting Captains Quarters, and I sent you a measly $25 to help you to attend CPAC. You've come a long way, baby.

Congratulations Ed! I am so proud of you and inspired by your hard earned award. I am honored to be in your presence if only as a Hot Air commenter. How awesome is that to receive this major award (did you get a leg lamp trophy?) from the Maharushi. I am sure all your kindness to him endeared you to him even more, as well as your impeccable ability to bring us truth.
God Bless all of the Morrisey family, MM, Salem Communications & even Allahpundit!

Good job Ed. Now get a promotion and fire AP.
Just kidding. :)
Sapwolf on February 19, 2010 at 11:14 PM
But, you leave us no choice. We must develop a grass-roots movement to discover the identity of AP.
BobMbx on February 19, 2010 at 7:52 PM
Nah, that would degrade HA. The mystery adds a bit of spice to the ambiance of the blog, and Allah pulls it off exceedingly well. If he ever wants to be 'discovered' that should be at a time, place and way that he chooses.
Just my deflated US $0.02 worth.
Yoop on February 19, 2010 at 11:15 PM
That was a great intro by El Rushbo. Congratulations again to Ed, a great addition to a great blog. And a sincere thank you to Allah, without whom there would be no Hot Air blog!
Zorro on February 19, 2010 at 11:18 PM
Well deserved, Ed. Congrats on the award.
Regarding HotAir's future:
I am very content with how things are now here on HotAir. I love the headlines, I really enjoy AP's and Ed's writing/analysis, and I really believe significant change to that format could be a bad thing.
jediwebdude on February 19, 2010 at 11:28 PM
What? Rush doesn't read through ALL the comments?
Well… darn it!
Laura in Maryland on February 19, 2010 at 11:54 PM

KittyLowrey on February 21, 2010 at 12:06 AM
I've been gone for a few days so I had to go back to the 02-18-2010 post of the Salem acquisition. Frankly, I think Michelle Malkin is feeling relieved. I've only been commenting here for over a year now but I have been reading HA since 2007. Allahpundit and Ed for the most part are center and center right pundits respectively, but neither of them are anywhere near as conservative as Michelle. Ed is a strong republican but he is not a Reagan conservative IMHO. I don't have a prepared laundry list but two things come to mind, 1. he pals around with Dic-4's hacks like Tommy Christopher who is a terrible writer as well as thinker, and 2. Ed found some of Ezra Klein's notatations of the health care debate tolerable. This was well after it was a known fact that this lauded health care legislation was a Trojan Horse disguised to help people where in reality it was a total government power grab from the private sector. Allahpundit on the otherhand is a conundrum. He stated on the acquisition thread that pretty much what he's doing 97% of the time. I don't think 97% but it is over 75% of the time. Some people have claimed that he is either fixated or lazy. Personally, I think Allahpundit is a rhetorical walking, writing contradiction of diction who could write for the Washington Post as their token conservative just like David Brooks writes for the NY Times as their token imbiber of faux conservative thought. Allahpundit features commentary that together produces an unstable tension in the political center right arenas and in the politically correct societies of the world of the TMZ readership. His favorite thing to do is to review and report here for us the perceived fringes of the liberal socialist-statist and/or the Reagan type conservative movers and shakers. For example, it's basically comprises a story provided by someone on MSNBC or CNN cable shows for the extreme left POV and for the right it's whatever the RSS feeder has on Sarah Palin or with much less frequency, Glenn Beck. Allahpundit tries for the most part to be like a solid yellow center line that divides the traffic coming from opposing directions. It is sorta like the space that Jake Tapper occupies or falls in between when reporting; stay inside the double yellow line exactly in the middle of the road of political leanings for all the rolling thoughts of the day.
Some people are aware that the center or eye of the hurricane is the safest place to be during a the storms passing, but staying in the center gets harder when you don't know which direction it is about to shift. So yeah, I think Allahpundit is a savvy social centrist because it safer in his non-fringe type mind of reasoning but he is perhaps enough of a fiscal conservative to convince a majority of the readership of HotAir that he's okay in spite of himself.
BTW, Ed the bulk of your work is good but if Rush was really paying attention, he'd discover that you're an 85%er.
Americannodash on February 21, 2010 at 5:33 AM
Congratulations, Ed — well done! I appreciated your kind words about Michelle Malkin and your GREAT introduction of Michele Bachmann, one of the best representatives in the U.S. House!

After coming to Lincoln City many times, we finally came across this gem. We had a second story 3 bedroom oceanfront suite (Unit #8) with all the amenities and clean as can be for $190 (5 people). Too bad it was so cold and stormy; it would be nice to sit and relax on the deck. Lots of DVDs to choose from, two full bathrooms, comfy beds, sleeps 9 total so it would be perfect for two families. Cafes are a short walk up to the highway. Nice to be in a quiet part of town. We'll be back as soon as possible. We couldn't ask for much more in a holiday rental.

Melbourne, Jan 16 : Commenting about Venus Williams' bottom has landed a tennis commentator in trouble.
Roger Rasheed, a former coach of Lleyton Hewitt, commented on Williams' bottom during a slow motion replay of her match against China's Yan Zi at the Australian Open.
"Take a look at this now. Make or think as you will, ladies, but for me, that's a pretty good sight,'' The Daily Telegraph quoted him, as telling co-commentators Tracy Austin and Nicole Bradtke.
And while the two women found it funny, viewers certainly didn't and broadcaster Channel Seven was inundated with calls.
Though admitting that there had been a number of calls, the broadcaster maintained that there would be no action taken against Rasheed for his comments.

+ Battle Two = AnaCristina - vs - Pontiac +
+ Battle Two = AnaCristina - vs - Pontiac +
Our second match is between Pontiac (Trevor) and AnaCristina.
It looks like Ana certainly has her work cut out for her given that Pontiac is rated number one on Protagonize - this is not without reason.
However, AnaCristina is highly passionate about her writing and I can see this being a close battle until the very end.
Best of luck to both entrants.
Consider carefully your topic, for you have the choice of whatever you wish to write. However, the element you must truly focus on is the meter of the poem. I want you to write a poem that explores rhythm and experiences a transition of different meters. You do NOT need to rhyme, but it may make things easier.
You will be judged on your use of meter and quality of content. If you use different meters make sure the poetry still flows! That is what is most important in this task.

The creature in the cageMature
Demrin woke early the next morning, as they did every morning. He quickly washed and dressed, headed to the kitchen where he ate some porridge from the large pot on the stove, then went to await Marik in the work room. Several large, medium and small tables were scattered about, along with several bookshelves, cabinets, cages and various other bits and pieces.
John soon joined him, looking decidedly chipper. He seemed to have forgotten his gloom from the previous evening. He greeted Demrin enthusiastically, and took his place next to him.
Marik swept in soon after, a cage floating along behind him, covered by a large black cloth. The cage set itself down on one of the large tables in the room. Marik turned his head to the two boys before him.
"You are both sixteen now", he said, his voice low, yet powerful. "At these stages in your life, if not already, you will begin to take a sexual interest in the females in the world around you. It is time you learned of the demons that inhabit this world which may attempt to take advantage of those desires".
Marik flicked a hand and the cloth flew off the cage, revealing a young woman, maybe only a few years older than Demrin and John. Her long blonde hair fell in layers to her shoulders. Her bright blue eyes stared pleadingly at Demrin as she grasped the bars of the cage.
"Why have you got a girl in the cage, Master?" John asked.
"This is not a girl, John. This is a very particular form of demon, one which seduces men, lures them into her trap. She engages in sexual congress with them, then eats their soul and tears their bodies to shreds once she is done. Do either of you know what she is?"
The two boys looked at each other, and then turned to answer.
"It's a succubus".
"Correct, I am impressed, you have shown me you are both studying as you should be. This one calls herself Stephanie. It is almost impossible to recognize a succubus; their disguise is so breathtaking and so well designed. So rather than attempting to teach you to recognize one, I shall teach you how to defend yourself from one".
The two boys glanced at each other again. Who ever knew women could be so scary? They would think twice before chatting up the local girls in the tavern in the town.
"You remember when we practised minor mental warding? Well this requires a more serious form of that warding. You must learn to block your soul from these creatures. You must also use the physical defensive powers I have taught you so far to protect yourself the moment they try and rip you to shreds. Of course I would prefer it if you were to not engage in sexual relations with women at all, even normal, everyday ones are far too dangerous. But I, as every warlock before me, know that men cannot resist the temptation of having a woman in their life. So it is imperative that you learn this. Now, let us begin!"

PS3 to old (VGA) PC monitor + headphones
So, as the title states... I'd like to hook up my ps3 to my computer monitor (VGA and DVI ports but no headphone jack or speakers built in) without spending enough money to just say screw it and buy a second TV.
My idea-
RCA to VGA adapter for video. RCA to 3.5mm headset jack for audio.
My problem-
Seeing as there is no "middleman" for the audio, there is no way to control volume. Someone also brought up a good point that said "middleman" is required (as an amplifier,) due to the fact that the RCA cables are sending pure signal. The signal alone won't tell the speakers / headphones work. Something about the information having to be taken in and sent back out for the headset.
Also, does anyone know if the RCA-VGA is a valid option to begin with?

The Boston Red Sox's first World Series title since 1918 came last week (for those genteel readers who don't know, they're a baseball team). It's being billed as one of the most startling sporting results of all time.
Even more startling is the fact that the Americans still have the gall to call this local tournament 'the World Series'. A showdown between the St Louis Cardinals and a rated outfit from South America, Northern Europe or Cameroon – now that would be something.
The global legal market is slightly more rounded. On 15 November The Lawyer, in association with The American Lawyer, will produce the Global 100 2004. The groundbreaking research will show 14 UK firms featuring prominently in a list that reflects a £29,489bn market.
There are also three Australian firms in what is frankly an astonishing performance for a country of just 20 million people. One each from the Netherlands, France and Canada make up the other entries to the global elite.
The UK firms have particular cause to celebrate. Four of the top six largest firms in the world – no prizes for guessing who – are UK-based. Together the four contribute £3.1bn.
It's not just about turnover either. The UK firms are winning the battle for the exportation of legal services hands down. Of the top 10 firms ranked by the percentage of lawyers outside their home jurisdiction, seven are from the UK. And thanks to the better mix of premium business that your average globally-minded UK giant possesses, they're extracting a decent profit out of that expansionist model too.
Coudert, for example, makes the top 10 'lawyers abroad' table with 64 per cent of its lawyers outside the US; but it comes in a lowly 98th on profits with £257,000. Compare that with Freshfields, the second most internationalised firm in the world, with 66 per cent of its lawyers abroad. It lies 25th in profits with £678,000.
There's no doubt that the exchange rate has helped, with the weak dollar inevitably a disadvantage for US firms. But the gut feeling is that UK firms are simply better-managed organisms. There is a stronger management culture in UK firms because, without the equivalent cash cow of New York, there has to be.
If the Linklaters of this world are going to put more emphasis on utilisation rates, attrition rates and every angle of management than many of their US cousins, then who can moan when the results are there for all to see?
Now is that what you call a home run?

I arrived really early after an intercontinental flight and was pleasantly surprised at front desk when a room was already available at 7.30 am. I was even offered a possibility to have breakfast already when checking in (besides with the normal next day), with a fee of 14 eur which I declined. Receptionist spent some time explaining what the attached shopping mall had to offer: there is a spa, a bowling areena among others. Receptionist was very helpful, cheerful and service oriented (not very typical for Finns).
Our twin room at 9th floor was really spacious and very clean. Bed a bit too soft to my taste, I would have liked a firm mattress. Free wifi and parking. Breakfast typical for this Sokos hotel chain with an unexpected extra: chocolate fountain! Never seen that in a Finnish hotel, at breakfast. Besides chocolate fountain, the breakfast consists of variety of bread, cheese, sausages, eggs, bacon, porridge, cereals, jogurt, apple and orange juice, coffee&tea. So I think everybody's taste is being served.
Hotel is adjoining Jumbo Mall, so lots of shopping opportunities. Restaurant Amarillo and Sir Eino give you entertainment until late night. Location wise this is not exactly an airport hotel, because there are similar hotels even closer to the airport and they do not offer shuttle to Flamingo but taxi is not very costly either (about 14 euros/10 minutes drive). I think there is public transportation if you want to check out Helsinki.
Extra towel set costs 4 euros (I think you might need them if you visited the spa).
We did not face problems with the elevators. Our bathroom bide shower was leaking water on the floor, and this we mentioned while checking out. The receptionist was (again) very service oriented, apologized and cared about our socks getting wet. She promised that it would be fixed before next guests arrived.
This hotel is just what one can expect from a Finnish 4 star hotel. I can recommend i t to my friends with no doubts.
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Hotels.com, Expedia, Booking.com, Travelocity, Hotwire, Orbitz, Cancelon, Evoline ltd, TripOnline SA, HotelQuickly and Hotel.de so you can book your Break Sokos Hotel Flamingo reservations with confidence.

The forum has it's own old farts, i wonder what they think?Jim, Eth, over to you.
Scientists have strapped plastic tanks to the backs of cows in order to collect their belches and study their methane levels. The scientists say that as much as 30% of Argentina's greenhouse gases could come from cows, and hope this study will find a way to cut down on emissions by changing the diet and lifestyle of the animals. The grass that cows eat is hard to digest and broken down by bacteria in the animal's four stomachs. With no oxygen, the bacteria turn into methane. Most gas comes from the front, not rear, ends of the cows.(phew!!!) The average dairy cow in the UK belches out about 100 to 200 litres of methane each day. Pardon you.

Whilst it's heartening to know that farts have lost none of their comedic value over the years, this was originally posted as a bony fido enquiry - so, do you think this could ever come to our courts?
Mr Methane goes around the country performing his flatulent stage act.
So would his audience all be able to take him to court for farting in an aggressive way?
Some years back, GEC merged with Plessey Telecom to form GPT.Unfortunately, in France GPT is pronounced the same as J'ai pété which means "I farted"
... that way everyone would know who dealt it.
Lawyer"I put it to you that you deliberately, and with malice aforethought, farted with a view to offend or harass the plaintiff."Defendant"No, it's just that I had had beans for tea."That's just never going to be heard in any court.

Cresta Brings Italian-Californian Eats (And Wine) To Toronto
One of the particular things to note about the Toronto dining scene is the reputation restaurants are (automatically) associated with based on its location. For instance, eateries in the west end, e.g. Parkdale, are known for having "hipster/indie" spots; in Leslieville, everything is "family friendly." But sometimes being located in a certain part of this city can be to the restaurant's detriment.
Cresta, an Italian-Californian restaurant is an example of this. Since it is situated next to the St. Lawrence Market -- it is prime wandering territory for tourists. A slew of commercial and chain restaurants, bars, and pubs dominate the landscape. As a result, it is perceived as a tourist-y spot. But Cresta is acutely aware of such unflattering perceptions and comments in that vein have not dampened their spirits.
The Concept:
Since opening its doors in March this year, Cresta has sought to introduce Torontonians to a new concept. Rory West, the head bartender and sommelier, informs me that Cresta is the only restaurant in the city that designs the food menu around the wine list -- not the other way around. There's a desire to showcase the wines crafted by the co-owner, Thomas Baker. Born in Canada's Ottawa valley, the entrepreneur owns six vineyards in Sonoma county that comprise three labels (Thomas George Estates, Noble Tree, Cresta) with his father, Jeremy.
The Space:
Lynne Krisfalusi of LK Atelier designed the interior space which was formally an old car park garage. The aesthetic feels like an open air resort. There are neutral and warm tones, and a bar centrepiece: a wine chandelier that rotates and stretches 35 feet high.
The main dining room seats 75 and 60 on the second floor. There are two patios flanked on both sides of the restaurant that seat 60 and 70, respectively.
The Wines:
All the features listed belong to the Thomas George Estates family of wines. It's one way to encourage customers to try their wines. While I personally didn't mind the exclusivity, there will always be customers who want choice and variety. Pigeonholing patrons with one brand is not an ideal route. An easy remedy is to offer corkage (fees) for those who wish to bring their own wines with them -- especially if Cresta is not keen to dilute its own wine list.
Aside from this issue, we proceeded to try what was described to us as two darlings of their wine family: the Chardonnay Thomas George Estates Cresta Ridge, Russian River Valley, California, 2010 (5oz, $20) and the Pinot Noir, Thomas George Estates, Barrel Selection, Russian River Valley, California 2012 (5oz, $18).
*Pinot Noir pictured with Flat Iron Steak*
The former has been aged for four months in French oak barrels. It tastes like naval peaches with a backdrop of toasted almonds and mild buttery notes. It has a crisp finish that paired well our seafood dishes.
I'm a stickler for reds so the pinot noir was the winner of the two for me. It's full-bodied (not something often found in pinots) and comprises a tri-blend of three types grapes from Starr Ridge, Cresta ridge and Baker Ridge vineyards. Flavours like raspberries and cherries can also be detected on the palate. It's been aged for six months in oak barrels creating fine tannins and just enough weightiness to stand up to red meats.
The Taste:
Tri Tran's culinary repertoire has included the Cactus Club and Hogan's Inn at King City; and currently, he helms the kitchen brigade at Cresta as the executive chef. The menu is standard and its bill of fare reminds me of places like Terroni, a popular spot in Toronto. However, the execution makes up for what it lacks in creativity. For instance, the dough for the prosciutto pizza ($24) is different than any of ones I've tasted in the city. The sourness and chew factor has been dialed back. The base is slightly sturdier and the rim is all at once puffy, airy and crisp. It's certainly different but enjoyable, nonetheless. Their dough is aged four to eight days but the absence of a prominent sourdough flavour is due to a cool, slow rise.
*Prosciutto Pizza*
As for the octopus ($16), it needs some work. Although it's been braised and grilled, it is lacking in tenderness; it is overly firm and gum-chewy. It's not to say it's a complete failure. There are supporting players in the form of fingerling potatoes and caramelized onions to divert your attention; the former adds heartiness and the latter adds a creamy sweetness.
*Octopus with fingerling potatoes, braised cipollini onions, harissa*
Three plump, crescent jumbo black tiger shrimp ($29) with tomato salsa arrive at the table over-salted. However, the meaty and tender flesh is sweet enough to throw you back in for a second bite -- and moreover made better when doctored and draped in their homemade ravioli sheets, that appear as folded napkins.
*Jumbo black tiger shrimp*
The mains are ushered out next; first is the flat iron steak ($31) which has been sous vide and finished on the grill to add char and flavour. There's a welcoming succulence in the pink flesh. But the dandelion greens perched on top are greasy and salty. As well, the "potato cake" suffers from a case of mistaken identity: it arrives as a crispy weave of latkes instead.
Plump U10 Scallops with a mint mango salsa are showstoppers; they're lined up with pinwheel pancetta crisps. It's the surefire winner of the evening but as the priciest of the bunch ($38), it was in dire need of a starch component to attain satiation.
*Scallops with mango salsa*
*Crispy Brussel Sprouts*
Overall impressions:
The private wines of Thomas George Estates are certainly a draw; in fact, I would be tempted to return and sip a few more of the exclusive varietals. Although the menus are not as dynamic as the ones you would see elsewhere in the city, the food here on the whole is flavourful. It is an ideal place to take friends and family who may not be adventurous diners but still seeking a unique food and wine-pairing experience.
