Madden NFL 16 Ad: "Furious 7" Plus "Ocean's 13" in Bizarro Land
It's got all the supercars of "Fast & Furious," plus kung fu, plus 20 seconds of Julio Jones slapping a ninja. What more could you want?
Madden NFL 16, a video game that lets couch schlubs vicariously live out their athletic fantasies through the digital effigies of millionaire professional football players, comes out on Tuesday. Normally, this news would hardly register a blip on the average gearhead's cultural radar—the game doesn't even have a "full racing modification" feature!
Except for one thing: The Madden 16 commercial is so outrageous, it might out-ridiculous Furious 7.
Take Dave Franco, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Rob Gronkowski, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown, Coach Rex Ryan, and Colin Kaepernick, give them access to a whole clutch of supercars, mash them all together in a hilariously outlandish plot that makes Vin Diesel crashing a $7 million car through two skyscrapers seem plausible, and you've got the Madden NFL 16 commercial you see here.
Happy Friday, friends.

Davies, Huw Cathan, Prof. Dr.
ETH ZürichDep. of Environmental Systems Science
Prof. Dr. Huw Cathan Davies
Additional information
Curriculum Vitae
Huw C. Davies retired from his position as Professor of Atmospheric Dynamics at the ETH Zurich in 2009. He had held the professorship since 1982, and had served as head of the Institute for Atmospheric Science & Climate (1984-87; 1997-2002) and of the Department of Environmental Sciences (2002-2004).
Prof. Davies was born in Wales on the February 5, 1944. He received his BSc in Applied Mathematics from the University of Wales in 1965, and the DIC of Imperial College and a doctorate from the University of London in 1968. Prior to taking up his professorial appointment at the ETH he was a Lecturer at the University of Reading in England and a National Academy of Science Researcher at NASA Langley, Va. in the USA.
His research focuses on the dynamics of weather-related flow phenomena, numerical weather prediction, atmospheric transport processes, and the linkage between weather systems and climate variability. It is pursued using an amalgam of theoretical and numerical model studies, and diagnostic analyses of reanalysis and field campaign data sets. The research is geared to advancing the understanding and prediction of atmospheric flow phenomena, and to improving our knowledge of the attendant physical processes.
Within Switzerland Prof. Davies was a founder member of the Swiss Academy of Science's Forum for Global and Climate Change (ProClim), a member of the Governmental Consultative Commission on Climate Change (OCCC), the head of the national research programme "Climate and the Environment in the Alpine Region", a member of the Executive Board of National Competence Centre for Climate Research (NCCR), and a member of the Swiss National Research Council (1997-2007). Currently he is the chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board of the ETH-based Centre for Climate System Modelling (C2SM).
Internationally his activities include serving as President both of the International Commission for Dynamical Meteorology (1987-1991) and of the International Association of Meteorology and Atmospheric Science (1999-2003). He has also served as a Co-Chair of the Scientific Advisory Board of the international THORPEX Programme (2005-2007), and as a member of the Joint Committee of the World Weather Research Programme (2007-2009). He has been a council member of the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) of the UK (2005-2011), a member of the NERC's Scientific and Innovation Strategy Board (2006-2009), and the chairman of the 'Research Excellence Panel' for the evaluation of the NERC Research Centres (2012-2013). In 2010 he was a member of the international scientific panel set up to examine the research of the Climatic Research Unit at the UEA. Currently he is the Chairman of the UK's Meteorological Office Scientific Advisory Committee (MOSAC).
Prof. Davies was the recipient of an Erskine Fellowship at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, NZ (1998) and Sackler Distinguished Lecturer at the University of Tel Aviv, Israel (2005). He was elected a member of the Academia Europaea in 1990, became a Fellow of the IUGG in 2015, and also in 2015 was given an honorary doctorate at the University of Aberystwyth. In 2011 he was awarded the OBE for service to science in Queen Elizabeth II's Birthday Honours list.

Dreamer sailor - this year I'm doing it
Hey there,
All my life (yeah, I'm a dinosaur) I've dreamed of sailing and this year I'm going to do it. I'm signed up for an ASA 101 course later this month and am currently studying away for test.
So I thought it would be great to check in with others who share this interest and found this forum. I'm hoping to make some friends, learn from you all and basically just hang out.
I live in Washington state and am looking forward to exploring Puget Sound on a sail boat this summer.
Welcome to the Dark Side. Sailing is not a hobby or a sport. It's an affliction, a disease. You buy a boat and it posses you and, like a body snatcher, slowly changes your personality to it's own. It sucks the life out of your wallet. Time condenses around it. Reality bends to it's will. Yeah, it's GREAT!
We bought our Lancer 25 two years ago. Never sailed. No clue about sailboats. Thought a clew was something that you hoped your kids would get and a Cunningham meant Richie or Mrs C. Ends up we got the perfect boat for us. Sleeps 5, sails reasonably well. Trailerable. We spend most weekends on the water, gunkholed in some remote (yeah right!) bay. No regrets except not starting sooner in life. SO, just do it. Buy the boat and sail. You won't regret it!
Thanks for the welcome, Don. Affliction seem to be a good word for it. It's something that I've wanted to do for decades.
I've struggled for the past year or so with the decision to buy a boat. But outside of some very limited experience with little run abouts, I have virtually no boating experience, so I've tried to hold off on buying until after successfully completing the ASA 101 course. After that, everything changes. :-)

Short Story by: Josephine Ann
Status: Finished
Genre: Editorial and Opinion
5'6 brunette looking for love. Slightly under legal age, but not for long; maturity level of a thirty year old. Slightly clingy, stressed, and needy. Very intelligent and driven. Weak, beat up, a little broken. An actress. Damaged and looking for something to hold on to. Looking for someone to hold on to.
I am honest about myself. That's one thing I will credit myself with, that I am entirely and unashamedly honest about all of my faults and all the things I cannot let go of. I am entirely exposed. I am standing in front of you, naked and a little scared of what you'll say.
There are some things about me you should know. I'm melodramatic. I say things to make people feel better or like me more, even when they're not true. I'm really not that funny. I am not a classic beauty, I eat too much and excercise too little. I am clingy. I'm horrible at foreign languages and have no concept of high-end fashion.
Sometimes I want to be someone other than me. I'd kind of like to go to Spain and salsa dance, drink a little and laugh a lot and be somewhere new. I'd like to be someone new. I'd like to write a book that makes people think, so I'll wait five years to understand what it means to love and lose and then I'll begin. Nobody will be in it but me, the three thousand different versions. I will do something about me, something for me.
All I'm looking for is someone who's honest with themself. I want somebody that will help me break, someone who challenges me, who encourages me to love and hate unequally and fully. I'm looking for someone who won't spit platitudes at me and who won't encourage my unfortunate predisposition to the past.
I want my greatness to be because of who I am, not who I could be or have been, because people change. I need somebody who understands that and doesn't blame me for being an actor but won't let me be a liar. I want someone who knows how I feel when I look out windows from the inside of speeding cars and knows how seldom I feel small in the world. I want someone who knows I love to fake it in everyday situations and calls me on it. What I'm looking for is a person who knows the difference between my bullshit and my insight. I want someone who's not alarmed by my sudden change of mood and topic, who appreciates the things that are hard and worth it.
I want someone who doesn't always understand me and who isn't bothered by the times when they don't. All I'm looking for is someone real- who asks questions without demanding answers, who gives without expecting something back, and who encourages me to do the same. I just want to feel like myself. I want to be myself; I don't want him to make me who I am. I'm looking for stability without boredom, farmiliarity without forgetfulness, life without death. I know what it is I need- I just don't know who it is.
If you answer this classified, you should know that you're agreeing to a lot. We don't need to have sex, you don't need to share my morals; I enjoy covering both ends of the spectrum. I just need someone to hold on to. Maybe it's you. God save you if it is. I would not date me. That's not the kind of thing you put in a classified, I know, but like I said, I'm quite honest. I really am. It's always been my downfall.

This piece is truly the innermost thoughts of a very mature woman. To be honest with everyone is one thing, but to be honest with yourself is without a doubt the hardest thing to do. Bravo for being able to.

Norman Williamson became known as Stormin' during his rise to the top in the 1990s. The top northern rider Chris Grant was christened Rambo for his never-say-die attitude a decade earlier, while the fearless Australian Mick Dittman was The Enforcer.
So what are we to make of a jump jockey known to all and sundry as Chocolate?
Robert Thornton's nickname was coined during his days as a babyfaced amateur at David Nicholson's powerful Cotswolds yard. The soubriquet - it refers to the chocolate manufacturer - wins few prizes for originality and fewer still for its capacity to strike fear into the hearts of his rivals.
But the man who answers to it has crept in under the radar to claim himself a niche among the top five riders in Britain this season.
"Every single rider and valet in the weighing room calls me Chocolate nowadays," he said. "All my friends do the same, and it's got to the point that I hardly know how to answer to anything else.
"It's true that I don't have a high profile like some of the lads. Of course it's great to get praised in the papers, but I like to keep things lowkey and if you do the job right on the track then the rest will look after itself. November went brilliantly for me and December was much the same, so I'm starting this year full of confidence and hoping to keep the run going."
At 25, it's fair to say that Thornton is claiming his place among the elite a fair bit later in life than many people expected.
Phase one of his career, spent learning from role models such as Adrian Maguire and Richard Johnson in a Nicholson yard packed with high-class horses, went by in a blur.
Doubles at the Cheltenham Festival and the Aintree Grand National meeting in 1997 were followed by a charmed run through to the title of champion conditional rider in 1998, but with hindsight Thornton feels that success came a shade too easily.
"When you are riding big winners at Cheltenham and Aintree at the age of 18 like I did it's easy to start feeling you can walk on water, but once you lose your claim you're suddenly in there fighting with the big lads," he said.
Thornton found himself well behind on points for a couple of years but, unlike so many riders who hit the headlines in their teens, he showed the appetite to relaunch his career and is now firmly established as stable jockey to Alan King's thriving yard at Barbury Castle in deepest Wiltshire.
"Things fell away for me for a while, not so much in terms of the amount of rides I was getting but certainly in terms of the quality," he said.
"With hindsight I probably took things a bit too easily, but I'm a lot stronger mentally these days and I feel that I'm a much better jockey now than when I first started out."
Few would doubt the accuracy of that view. Thornton has always been powerful in a finish with a natural flair for getting horses to jump fluently, but the last two years have seen him add an acute tactical awareness and confidence to his armoury.
His latest birthday was crowned with a memorable treble on Trouble At Bay, Rigmarole and Crystal d'Ainay at Cheltenham last month, and King feels the sky is the limit for his old ally over the next few years.
"I've known Chocolate since he came down to us as a schoolboy and the raw ability has been there right from day one," he said.
"To be honest we didn't get on all that well in the early days, but he's matured a lot.
"I had my eye on him as a possible stable jockey for quite a while before he finally joined us and he's fitted into the role beautifully."
Thornton is currently winning on one in every four horses he climbs aboard for King and, without wishing to look too far ahead, his sights are set on joining the elite group of riders to partner a hundred winners in a season.
"Some people say that there is a big gap between the top three jump jockeys and the rest but I can guarantee you that there are lads throughout the top 20 and beyond who can do the job given the chance," he said.
"In this job so much depends on having the ammunition and I'll certainly be looking to beat my previous best of 71.
"Who knows what will happen after that, but if I stay clear of injury and the weather is kind then there might just be a chance of having a crack at the hundred."

Hailing from darkest Kingston-upon-Thames, the Vessels are the latest in that auspicious line of classic British guitar bands that runs from the La's through Teenage Fanclub to Travis, playing winsome jangle-pop laced with soaring harmonies and arpeggiated guitar runs. Like the Fannies, their sound is equally informed by the Beatles and country-rock – the track "Innocence", for instance, resembles a more muscular "Blackbird" with Nashville picking – and, in the front man, Paul Cook, they possess not only a songwriter of formidable natural gifts, but a singer with a persuasively soulful Lennon-esque drawl. It's almost as if both Gallagher brothers' talents were somehow combined in the one person, but minus the bad attitude. Instead, the temperament behind songs like the single "Don't Waste Your Time" is amenable, even self-deprecating ("Don't waste your time on me/ There's even more to see out there"), while "See You Home Straight" presents Cook as the kind of nice, thoughtful boy who could effortlessly charm his way into a potential mother-in-law's heart: "I go out of my way just to see you home straight/ And I try and understand, and make plans". Cook's bonhomie (he even whistles blithely on the song's coda) is tempered by the slightly darker, druggy tone which guitarist Gerard Gannon, the group's other songwriter, brings to a song like "Memory": "How can I come down, get off of this stuff?/ And though I share it, it's more than enough/ And as I take off, I feel so at ease inside". But even here, the laidback cowboy campfire mood is so utterly beguiling it's impossible to feel too concerned. A sparkling debut.

Ellie Story-Unseen Tears.Mature
Ellie Story-Unseen Tears. Ellie life before she enters "Paranormal" the world of the 'Black Ones'. Also before she meets the other descendants of the Lost Civilization of Atlantis. Before she finds her power. This is Ellie's past!
Ellie Story-Unseen Tears
Ellie Chapter1- Breakfast.
"Morning Ellie." Dad said as we crossed each other on the landing.
"Moring dad!" I called back to him as I rushed down the stairs, smelling breakfast.
"Where's the fire?" He joked.
"Morning Pixie Ellie." My mum's soft warm voice said to me, her curly hair fell over her face as she kissed my forehead.
"Morning to you to mum. What's for breakfast?" I asked eyeing the frying pan where the delicious smell was coming from.
"Nothing special." She shrugged like a little child. "Just some. Amazing, mouth watering. Pancakes!" Again like a child she shrieked excitingly, nearly jumping up and down. Sometimes, I wondered who was the child and the adult between us.
"You are a very strange child with your food Ellie. Why you can't just have lemon and sugar on your pancake I don't know." Dad told me tucking into his own pancakes. He was commenting on me squeezing the chocolate sauce over my pancakes in a wavy line, and then placing some strawberries at the side in a neat pattern.
"Oh leave her alone Bill, she's creative when it comes to cooking, aren't you darling?" Under the table mum nudged my leg with hers. "Gets it from my side of the family, just like Bradley you are."
Bradley or Uncle Bradley, was a chef in a hotel where we lived in little village just outside of Dublin, Ireland. Sometimes I helped out there when they had a big event, like a wedding or a party. It didn't pay very well and I was always looking for some place where I could really cook.
"Ellie, time you got your exam today haven't you?" Dads voice interrupted my thoughts.
"I'm going now anyway, the joys of school." I finished my pancakes and put my plate on the side.
"O'Ellie before you go, can I borrow your black skirt, you know the one with the zip at the side." Mum asked me knowing that it would fit her perfectly as it does on my size 8 body.
"Yer sure, how come you want that?"
"Got the interview an work, manger. Didn't I tell you?" Her voice turning all innocent all of a sudden.
"No mum that's brilliant!" I hugged her.
"Kelly, she has to go to school." Dad chipped in. We pulled back, mum keeping her arm around me. "You pair look more like twins right about now." He smiled taking his paper into the living room.
"Good luck on the interview mum." I hugged her again, and then I opened the door grabbing my school bag.
"Good luck on the test Pixie Ellie!" She kissed my check and I closed the door heading for school.

Party's Over + Refill Set is rated out of 5 by 7.
Rated 5 out of 5 by MSEB from Love it! This is the easiest way to remove glitter polish. Previously I'd been using foil (break up cotton balls into smaller pieces, soak with acetone/polish remover, then use foil to wrap that around each nail.) This is so much easier and you don't have to waste to so much foil :-) For manicures with a lot of glitter, you will need to keep the nail caps on for more like 15-20 minutes (or use a different remover with acetone.) I was so disappointed earlier today when i realized that I'd accidentally thrown away a nail cap and I immediate ordered another set because it's become a must-have for me.

Rated 4 out of 5 by wavingsnail from love these, but not for girls with bigger hands! i ordered this set and love it but i wish they sold these in various sizes. I have bigger size hands (5'11 and wear a size 11 ring on my ring finger to give you an idea) and these really are better suited for small hands. they work great, and make it really effortless to remove any kind of polish.. but even with the super thin remover pads that come with the kit, they make my fingers go numb. using cotton is nearly impossible for me. the pinky fits fine and the thumb size fits fine on my other fingers but are too tight on my thumbs. I have used my set a dozen times now and over the course of these uses i have torn 5 of my caps. I would love to order another set but not if i'm going to tear them again. the pictures show a regular cap on my index finger and the thumb cap on my middle finger. there really is no space for my finger and a remover pad to fit at the same time. and the second picture shows the weak point on the side of a finger cap that's getting ready to split. its coming apart at the seams because they stretch too much when i wear them think about it julep! this is a great product that i want to be able to use... ALL THE TIME! :D i just need it in my size!

Loved to hunt...

One month ago today, our 19 year old Son Johnny had a terrible accident and passed away. He had DMD and was confined to a wheelchair. The chair was both blessing and a curse for him. It allowed him to have the freedom to move around on his own but at the same time he hated it because it was a daily reminder of his terrible disease and limitations. On 8/16/11 while I was at work, he dropped an item on the floor. He made the decision to un-buckle his seatbelt to reach down to pick it up. He fell forward out of his chair up against the wall in front of him which pinned him between the wall and chair and he was unable to breathe. Because of his DMD, he did not have the strength to move himself and he suffocated alone, without me there to help him. I am trying to be strong, I am trying to say to myself that this was just a terrible accident, I try to tell myself that he is now "free" from his illness and with Jesus, I try to tell myself that it is "Gods Plan" and he wanted my Son home Ecclesiastes 3:1, Romans 8:28, I try to convince myself that I did everything I could by reinforcing NOT trying to pick things up off the floor and wait for me to get it. He had fallen out of his chair once before doing the same thing but there was not a wall in front of him so he just laid on the floor till I helped him back into his chair. Over and over again we would talk about keeping his seatbelt on. When the accident happened, his 14 year old brother is the one that came home from school and found him. I am so lost and feeling guilty.
I love my Son with all of my heart. I was as prepared as I could have been for DMD to end his life in his mid-20's. I was not prepared for this to happen. I am having a very hard time with this and trying to not blame myself but can't seem to get all of the "What-if's" out of my head. He was 19, he was mentally an adult with all of the desire to be an independent person, knew the rules and dangers. But I am the one that made the decision to leave & go to work. I feel responsible for what happened by not being there for him when he needed me most.
My wife and I were separated and my boys living with me. He was my responsibility and I failed. He is now gone. I cry every single day but still need to go to work, be there for my other kids and try to comfort my wife the best I can. This is the most difficult thing I have ever had to go through. It is so hard and I just don't know what to do. I had to bury my Son and do not get to hear his voice, his laugh, See his smile, help him in and out of bed and be there for him anymore. Today is especially hard.

Localized oxidative killing of tumor cells by glassy iron nanoparticles
|A Trojan Horse for Cancer Cells - Localized oxidative killing of tumor cells by glassy iron nanoparticles. (© Wiley-VCH)
|Cancer cells are characterized by their relatively acidic cell environment and their production of significant amounts of hydrogen peroxide compared to healthy cells. Some chemodynamic approaches for cancer treatment thus employ the Fenton reaction, that is, iron ions reacting with the hydrogen peroxide to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), which in turn can damage and destroy the cancer cells. However, the transport of iron ions to the target cells is problematic, and crystalline iron nanoparticles are not as effective.
|Therefore, Jianlin Shi and Wenbo Bu and their groups at Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, in collaboration with Fudan University of Shanghai, China, have now prepared iron nanoparticles in an amorphous, glassy state. "Interestingly, the amorphous iron(0) nanoparticles present several unique physicochemical properties," the scientists write, and: "The results confirm that the amorphous iron nanoparticles, hydrogen peroxide, and acidic conditions act synergistically to kill cells."
|In addition to their potential as drugs, other advantages are a good contrast for magnetic resonance imaging and the possibility of magnetic targeting. "Ideally, a perfect carrier should release its cargo at once when it is transferred from neutral to mildly acidic conditions, such as those in the tumor microenvironment," the authors write. Using magnetic resonance imaging, they proved by in vitro and in vivo tests that the anticipated mechanism was working.
|Magnetic targeting, on the other hand, enables drug delivery to the target tissue through magnetization. The scientists observed that "efficient magnetic targeting and retention had been achieved in vivo, providing a good basis for chemodynamic therapy." However, they also say that future prospects will include surface modification of the particles to further improve the tumor-targeting performance. In a nutshell, Shi and Bu's elegant "hubble bubble" approach, as they call it, has produced a tiny, highly effective Trojan horse for chemodynamic cancer therapy, as shown in mice. The preparation method features mild conditions and has prospects for other metals as well.

This greatly expanded prison system will absorb vast resources that are needed for offenders' rehabilitation, crime prevention and victim support. If the aim is crime reduction, this is a strikingly ineffective deployment of resources.
The government's strategy should be based on jailing only those who are a serious danger to others. Additional resources would then be freed for community supervision of offenders, prisoners' resettlement, preventive work with young people and services for victims. This would do far more than building new "titan" prisons to reduce the damage and distress caused by crime.
Paul Cavadino
Chief executive, Nacro
Polly Toynbee is right to remind us that 70% of the Youth Justice Board budget is spent on imprisonment, leaving little for prevention or rehabilitation (Posturing and peddling myths, these prison enthusiasts are blind to history, December 7). As a medical examiner for incapacity benefit on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions I find that a significant proportion of clients are claiming, usually successfully, because of ill health due to drug abuse; many have been in and out of prison for drug-related crime. Claimants frequently tell me that drug rehabilitation programmes and psychiatric services in prison are inadequate, and that on discharge there is often little or no follow-up. We should either greatly enhance rehabilitation programmes or change to a system of legalised and supervised heroin prescription. Either measure is likely to reduce drug-related crime.
