Results tagged "Jed Lowrie" from Who Made You Mirabelli?
It's just about that time of year: the Yankees are playing well, the Red Sox are slumping, and the streets of Dorchester are lined with bodies from all of the fans heaving themselves from the tallest building they can find.
The Red Sox are in a free-fall, but this is a road that this team insists on going down almost every single year... and while it may feel like the sky is falling, this is nothing new under the sun.
In fact, this year's pitfalls are certainly better than the ones that Red Sox nation felt in 2006 - a year in which the BoSox missed the playoffs. This year... there is a safety net. So let's calm down a bit, shall we?
Earlier on in the year, the Red Sox went out for essentially every buy-low veteran on the market. Theo has learned well from the missteps in 2006, and gone after inexpensive depth. To have a guy like Josh Reddick who they can call up and send down whenever he's needed is beyond invaluable (note: Jed Lowrie would normally be deserving of some sort of mention in a paragraph such as this... but his crisp .074 since the All Star break is keeping him out of the running).
They even have pitching options, believe it or not. A few of those options aren't exactly that viable, but they're options, none the less. The wheels are, indeed, coming off of Brad Penny and John Smoltz and are now careening towards a crowd of horrified onlookers, but their problems (including, but not limited to, a combined 47 earned runs in 10 starts within the last month) are magnified by the situations the team has been in lately. Keep in mind that the 13-inning jaunt the other night burnt out the core of the Red Sox pitching staff beyond belief. After something like that, a shaky series has to be expected... it's just too bad that such a series had to be against the Yankees... It always has to be the Yankees.
Boston: Matsuzaka-Beckett-Lester-Wakefield-Matsuzaka-Beckett-Lester
Tampa Bay: Shields-Kazmir-Garza-Sonnanstine-Sheilds-Kazmir-Garza
It's hard to make a convincing argument that Tampa Bay has a rotation advantage, particularly with the recent form of Boston's burgeoning ace left hander Jon Lester. With Lester potentially getting the ball in both Games 3 and 7, Boston would seem to have him right in the clutch that he's been excelling at. Josh Beckett had his shakiest postseason outing ever in Boston's ALDS loss, but an extra day of rest -- as opposed to two starts in three weeks -- should have him a lot closer to being on point in this series. Daisuke Matsuzaka continue to be an enigma, wriggling out of jams throughout high pitch counts over just five innings. We still haven't seen him go deep in a postseason game. Could this be the series? And as for Wakefield ... he's Tim Wakefield. While WMYM has a shrine dedicated to him, he's utterly hit or miss at the best of times. He has, however, traditionally been dominant at the Trop, but he'll have to ply his pitches at chilly Fenway in Game 4 of this series.
As for the Rays, Shields has had rough outings against the Sox, Kazmir got drilled the last time Boston faced him in the Trop while Garza continues to seem like the scariest guy they throw out on the hill. Andy Sonnanstine was great closing out the White Sox. Great. Stay tuned. That Game 4 could look like a mismatch in the Rays' favor depending on how the series turns before it.
The bullpen, however, is another story. The Rays have a plethora of setup men without the closer they took and injury-riddled shot on in the offseason: Troy Percival. That hasn't slowed them, and it probably won't now, either. The Sox relievers looked much better in the ALDS than they did in much of the season, but there are still questions. Justin Masterson had one of his shakiest outings as a big leaguer to set the stage for Jed Lowrie's heroic walk-off. Then there's the fact that Mike Timlin earned the extra roster spot. We're longtime backers of Captain Camo, but he was almost a walking white surrender flag during the second half of this year. If he has to come in during clutch situations, watch out. The Rays teed off on him the last time he came in against Tampa. Of course, they did that against Jonathan Papelbon once, too, so you never know.
EDGE: Red Sox. The rotation should help make up for Tampa's bullpen buffer.
Boston: Ellsbury-Pedroia-Ortiz-Youkilis-Drew-Bay-Kotsay-Lowrie-Varitek
Tampa Bay: Iwamura-Upton-Pena-Longoria-Crawford-Floyd-Navarro-Gross-Bartlett
On paper, this is another mismatch. Unfortunately, that's paper that was drawn up over the bulk of the regular season, not a series of clutch matchups between the Red Sox and Rays and the two teams' subsequent ALDS wins. Jacoby Ellsbury seems to be waking up at just the right time for Boston, and if Ortiz can do more than he did in a miserable series against the Angels and if J.D. Drew can stay healthy, the Sox look plenty dangerous. If either of those factors don't come through ... or even don't come through the way Boston needs them to, the Jason Bay will have to be called on to hit at the blistering pace he put up against Anaheim.
Tampa Bay, on the other hand, bats a bunch of guys who many would need scorecards for. That's before you look at monstrous hot streaks for B.J. Upton and Evan Longoria, two hitters sandwiched by Boston area-native and crushing power hitter Carlos Pena. The 'los does strike out plenty, but Longoria has to be considered one of the most terrifying up and coming hitters in the majors. Navarro is another whose contributions can't be minimized. The catcher had a bushel of huge hits against Boston this year, including the ball that cost Jonathan Papelbon in the game that forever turned the AL East tide.
EDGE: Push
PREDICTION: They say great pitching wins championships, and both these teams have the potential to have it. Sure, Tampa Bay's rotation is as young as the rest of its roster, but it's got plenty of heat and talent. That being said, betting against Josh Beckett (despite his ALDS numbers) and what seems like the ghost of Sandy Koufax embodied by Jon Lester is a hard thing to do. That's before you add in hopes for Matsuzaka and the fact that the Red Sox's two most important hitters -- Big Papi and Dustin Pedroia -- almost tossed out in 0-fer in the ALDS, and couldn't possibly be any worse. If Ortiz and Pedroia hit while Beckett improves and Lester keeps cruising, the Sox should win. It says here that will happen.

|Musée de la danse, expo zéro, 16.17.04.2010
|On Friday 16 and Saturday 17 April 2010, BAK, basis voor actuele kunst presents the public days of expo zéro, a project by Musée de la danse/Centre chorégraphique national de Rennes et de Bretagne, Rennes. The public days take place at BAK, Lange Nieuwstraat 4, Utrecht from 12.00-18.00 hrs.
expo zéro is an exhibition without objects; it is set into being by a group of people, with their memories, their actions, the fruits of their collaborations, and interactions. A group of ten people including choreographers, dancers, visual artists, philosophers, theorists, and architects, spend four days at BAK working together as a kind of think tank. Over this period, the participants reflect on the issues raised by the conceptual framework of a "museum of dance" from the perspective of their own disciplines, and try to jointly conceive a staging of the exhibition taking place in the final two days of the project. These concluding days of expo zéro on 16 and 17 April 2010 are open to the public and mark the inauguration of SPRINGDANCE 2010 in Utrecht.
expo zéro is a project developed by Boris Charmatz, since 2009 director of the Centre chorégraphique national de Rennes et de Bretagne, which he renamed Musée de la danse (Museum of Dance). The edition of expo zéro in Utrecht is initiated by Boris Charmatz, Cosmin Costinas,, Martina Hochmuth, and Bettina Masuch, co-curated by Cosmin Costinas, and Martina Hochmuth, and produced by BAK together with Springdance, Utrecht.
Participants of expo zéro Utrecht are: Boris Charmatz (initiator expo zéro), Heman Chong (artist and curator), Cosmin Costinas, (curator BAK), deufert&plischke (artists), Nikolaus Hirsch (architect), Sung Hwan Kim (artist), Boyan Manchev (philosopher), Valda Setterfield (dancer and actress), and Sigal Zouk Harder (dancer).

Time Crossover
David Caruso of CSI Miami and Gary Sinise of CSI New York.
ED.51.1-27. It's sweeps week and America's most lucrative television franchise -- the CSI Family -- is cross-pollinating two of its shows to maximize viewership. Last night, CSI Miami began the manhunt for a Ted Bundy-like serial killer who was arrested in New York but escaped in Florida. Obviously, this meant that stars David Caruso and Gary Sinise would be on the case through midweek, trading closeups and one-liners on each other's shows. It's called a crossover, and for whatever reason it does boost ratings.
It's all great fun and there's no big point here, but younger viewers may be unaware that there's more than one kind of crossover in process. Back in the late 50s and early 60s, there was another multi-show franchise -- the first -- fathered by a hip private eye production called 77 Sunset Strip. According to thrillingdetective.com:
Roy Huggins' private eye STUART BAILEY was originally (and intentionally) quite Chandleresque, trudging through the mean streets of Los Angeles alone, carrying the weight of the world along with him. He gained a fluency in foreign languages, a past as a government agent, a slick wardrobe, a slick office, and a partner, JEFF SPENCER, when Huggins adapted him for television's 77 SUNSET STRIP, TV's first hour-long private eye show and -- simply put -- one of the the most influential private eye shows in history.
Spencer was also a former government agent, and a non-practising attorney. They worked out of swank digs at 77 Sunset Strip, next door to Dino's Restaurant, where French secretary SUZANNE handled the phones. Hanging around for comic relief were racetrack tout Roscoe, and hair-combing, Dino parking lot attendant and beatnik P.I. wanna-be KOOKIE. Comb sales soared. So much for Huggin's hopes for a straight P.I. series. Hardboiled drama was out and gimmicks were in.
So far, you may be thinking this doesn't seem much like the CSI phenomenon, but there's more. Much more:
(T)he Warner Brothers hit factory started churning out copy cat versions of the show, all following the formula of two handsome male leads, a wanna-be, a pretty (but slightly ditzy) secretary, and a buffoon, with William Orr, Warner Brothers' first television producer, at the controls. Hawaiian Eye , Bourbon Street Beat, and Surfside Six all appeared within the next year or so...
In fact, the shows were even more inbred than the above description suggests. Compare these summaries:
HAWAIIAN EYE: Set in Honolulu, it featured the exploits of handsome (natch!) private eyes TOM LOPAKA (Robert Conrad) and TRACY STEELE (Anthony Eisley), who worked out of a poolside office at the ritzy Hawaiian Village Hotel. Adding comic relief were Cricket, a ditzy nightclub singer/photographer (played by Connie Stevens), and Kim, a ukulele-playing local cabbie.
BOURBON STREET BEAT: Big Easy private eye CAL CALHOUN, a lanky, easy-going ex-bayou cop, takes on a junior partner, REX RANDOLPH, a young, yuppie-ish Ivy Leaguer from one of New Orlean's "best" families. Together they run 'Randolph and Calhoun Special Services" next to The Old Absinthe House in the French Quarter. Of course, no 77 clone would be complete without an attractive secretary holding down the fort, a trainee gumshoe, a buffoon for comic relief, and some sort of "hip" gimmick," like Kookie's comb. In Bourbon's case, the secretary was Melody Lee Mercer, and the rookie was Texas rich kid KENNY MADISON, who was working his way through law school by doing part-time PI work. The buffoon chores were ably handled by local jazzman Billy the Baron. Sometimes popping up was Billy's singer Lusti Weather.
SURFSIDE SIX: The hook...was that the detectives, DAVE THORNE, KEN MADISON and SANDY WINFIELD, worked out of a houseboat in Miami Beach, across from the Fountainbleau Hotel on Miami Beach. The quirky babe character quota was filled next boat neighbour Daphne Dutton, an eccentric socialite, and nightclub entertainer Cha Cha who performed in the hotel's Boom Boom Room.
Are you starting to get a glimmer of CSI's DNA? Now consider this:
They did some crossovers on these private eye shows...
(O)n Hawaiian Eye... Efrem Zimbalist Jr. as Stu Bailey appeared in the first episode, "Malihini Holiday" and with co-star Roger Smith as Jeff Spencer in "I Wed Three Wives."
Richard Long appeared as Rex Randolph from Bourbon Street Beat and 77 Sunset Strip in "Swan Song for a Hero.".
The Hawaiian Eye cast went to LA to 77 Sunset Strip as well: Robert Conrad as Tom Lopaka in "Only Zeroes Count" and "Who Killed Cock Robin?"
The Surfside 6 crowd showed up [at 77] too: Troy Donahue as Sandy Winfield and Van Williams as Ken Madison in "The Hot Tamale Caper"
And the LA dectectives went to Miami to Surfside Six: Edd Byrnes as Kookie Kookson and Roger Smith as Jeff Spencer in "Love Song for a Deadly Redhead"
We all know that the CSI franchise is a lot more serious than the old "77" clones. William Petersen, David Caruso, and Gary Sinise almost never smile, except ruefully, rarely chase women they aren't trying to put on death row, and their partners are no longer exclusively male because the secretaries and cabaret singers have been promoted to professional status, which means they don't smile either.
We said there was no big point to all this, but there are a couple of ironies we couldn't help thinking about. The old clones were shot in black and white, while the CSIs are shown in high-definition color, but it's the latter shows that are dark and film-noirish with all those broken, mangled corpses they couldn't have shown in the 60s if they'd wanted to. And they probably didn't want to, because they thought we'd rather see suave well-dressed men and beautiful girls leaping in and out of convertibles in exotic locales. Did we mention convertibles? All the Sunset Strip shows had convertibles as co-stars.
1959 Mercury Parklane Convertible
used in the television show "77 Sunset Strip"
Which leads us to another irony. Despite the huge difference in atmosphere, the CSIs really do make use of quite a lot of the Sunset Strip conventions. The glamorous settings are much the same: Las Vegas, Miami, and New York as opposed to L.A., Hawaii, New Orleans, and Miami Beach. The two non-New York CSIs also feature plenty of convertibles, although they're generally props in crime scenes rather than love scenes. Last night's show had a snappy yellow Mustang ragtop:
The happy top-down ride ended, of course, with the murder of all four passengers, including two pretty girls whom Stuart Bailey and Jeff Spencer would have saved and kissed in the old days.
It's not that we're pining for the relative innocence of the 1960s. It's that we're wondering why there are so many apparent references to the old shows, as if we're being served up a deliberate subliminal message about the decline of American life. There are still two leads, and most shows unravel two cases. The part of the buffoon has been preserved but imbued with malice, generally as a stupid detective or ambitious bureaucrat (e.g., CSI's Eckley). Even the Cricket Blake/Lusti Weather/Cha Cha role is still on the scene in the character of CSI's Catherine Willows, the former showgirl/stripper who has advanced to the position of grim single-mom and night supervisor of forensics.
All the original elements are present, but they're grimmer, bloodier, and more depressing. What are we supposed to take from that -- particularly in the context of the astonishing popularity of these shows? We can't help wishing that just one of the old conventions had been carried over intact to provide us with a single ray of right in the darkness. But.... hmmmm... come to think of it, there is one direct steal from the old shows that really is almost the same.
What, you ask? It's the Kookie Factor. And it's not a small one, either. The initial burst of popularity for 77 Sunset Strip was fuelled by the character Kookie played by Edd Byrnes. In the early episodes he parked cars, combed his fashionably greased hair, and spoke in a hip slang the mature stars had trouble understanding. Later, he joined the big boys as a private eye. As it turns out, all three CSIs also have Kookie in the cast. For example, here's the official description of the role played by Eric Szmanda in the original CSI.
Eric Szmanda plays Greg Sanders, the kooky lab technician on C.S.I. Eric is young, and a newcomer to the business, his first role being in 1998 in the t.v. series, The Net. Born in Wisconsin, Eric studied at Carroll College in the state, before coming out to Hollywood to become a full time actor. His role in C.S.I. has given him a lot of exposure, and you're sure to see him a lot more. His role has been made permanent on C.S.I. so he's not going anywhere for a while.
And here is the Kookie family tree:
"Kookie" Edd Byrnes
"Kookie" Eric (LV), "Kookie" Carmine (NY), and "Kookie" Jonathan (Miami)
Youth, hip (hop) slang, fashionably (spiky) greased hair, and -- frankly -- virtually identical faces. Maybe we're being allowed to have some hope after all, hope that youth will somehow prevail even in the face of the deadly entropy that is transmuting all the old sunshine and glamor into the fluorescent glare of a morgue table.
Keep watching. You never know. Maybe one day Peterson, Caruso, and Sinise will all show up together on a bright Miami day and leap smiling into a convertible to go kiss some pretty girls. Maybe Catherine Willows will burst into song at Caesar's Palace while Kookies II, III, and IV accompany her on the bongo drums. Maybe.. oh well.. anyone can dream.
Here's a video clip of the old Sunset Strip show. And here are some informational sites -- sunset 1, sunset 2, sunset 3, sunset 4, sunset 5, sunset 6, sunset 7, eye, bourbon, surfside.
Coincidence or Synchronicity? The producers of Bourbon Street Beat actually purchased the Old Absinthe House in New Orleans that was supposed to be the neighbor of the show's detective agency. And wasn't it the Old Absinthe House where Robert Davis was beaten by New Orleans police? Here's a link to the ABC interview with Davis (click on the "video" icon for the interview clip, which includes footage of the incident and the name of the bar). Is the Jungian collective unconscious trying to tell us something? Nah.

I totally agree with ANY driving assistance on any cars. But automatic doors aren't gonna take over your driving skills, just solely safety and convenience. As years goes by, technology makes cars feel more comfortable at higher speeds and pretty much self drives and when acquiring those speeds, IMO 85% of drivers do not know what to do when there is a problem ahead or know how to handle situations at higher speeds.
I will never trust my car auto-braking, self parking, or whatever crap thats automated. It takes the feel away from drivers and cripples their ability as 'drivers' to adapt and learn.
I opened a new decision topic here:

An Arduino controller with GPS shield, a couple of relays, and I'll bet I could get it working in my car.
'cept I still don't want it. I dunno; I keep track of my environment, and react accordingly. Point taken about the convenience, though...the intersection of forgetfulness and carjacker probably wouldn't be a good thing for me.

I know the Range Rover incident you're referring to and, thankfully, that's not common. It also wasn't a car jacking; those guys were in a complete rage. Someone who wants to steal your car is not going to risk the exposure of it taking that amount of time. If it's not quick and easy, they'll hopefully leave in a hurry.
If someone can remember to use a turn signal indicator instinctively,they can learn to lock the doors instinctively. I just lock the doors myself once everyone gets in. It is like a reflex now.

Wow. OP asked a simple question and, instead of answers, gets vetted on his motive. It doesn't matter why he wants it, just that he does. If you can't help than why respond? BTW, I can't help, either...
For those who don't like techno aids, how do you feel about fuel injection? Really, if you're so into the experience shouldn't you be adjusting carbs instead? How about power steering or, better yet, AWD? Most hotshoes I'm aware of think RWD is the only way to go and AWD is for those who can't manage "real" driving. Anyone who responds with "Rally car this... Rally car that...", show us your relevant experience. Unless you drive Pikes or something like it, don't bother.
This reminds me of one responder in a post I made who said something like: "Cruise control is a recipe for disaster!".

SLIDESHOW: SSCC students will give hydroplane a make-over
press release
Students in South Seattle Community College's Automotive Collision Repair program will have the opportunity to see their work making waves in the waters of Lake Washington this summer, after they finish their makeover of the Schumacher Racing unlimited hydroplane.
The No. 37 hydroplane currently housed at the college in West Seattle is owned by legendary Billy Schumacher ("Billy the Kid"), the former unlimited champion driver who won 17 races from 1967-1976, and is perhaps best known for his unprecedented string of wins with the Miss Bardahl team. Schumacher Racing pays a shop fee and materials costs for the project.
The newly-painted and refinished boat will carry the South Seattle Community College name and logo on its side, as it competes throughout the U.S. and in Qatar during the 2012 racing season.
According to instructor Steve Ford, the project couldn't have come at a better time. His spring quarter curriculum focuses on painting and refinishing, and he has grouped students into three teams that work on fabrication, prep, and paint. Their assignments all serve as final performance tests on problem solving and critical skills.
"The beauty is that this gives students the chance to work on something other than fixing fenders on a car, and shows them there's more variety in the field," he explained. "It also gives everyone the chance to be involved in some aspect of the project."
Long-time racer Schumacher said he is delighted to be able to provide a new medium for the South Seattle Community College students to paint noting, "this will be a good opportunity for them to see how much team work it takes to paint such large race boat."
The program students were given direction, but have had to work and decide as a team how to best accomplish the tasks. One group has fabricated metal stands, braces, and brackets to support and hold many of the individual parts of the hydroplane that have to be painted.
Another group has been repairing, sanding, cleaning, masking, and painting the individual parts for the hydroplane.
The third group, which includes advanced students who graduating this quarter, is responsible for spraying three color coats on the 14-ft by 31-ft hydroplane.

text: Talk of Apple turning to OLED displays for its mobile devices has arisen repeatedly for many years now, and those rumors have received another update with a claim from The Korea Herald (via Macworld UK) that Apple Chief Operating Office Tim Cook recently visited South Korea to discuss the possibility of adopting an active matrix OLED (AMOLED) display from Samsung for the next-generation iPad, a device the report claims could be released before the end of the year. Samsung is already one of Apple's primary suppliers for its mobile devices, although the two companies are currently embroiled in a legal dispute begun when Apple filed suit against Samsung for allegedly copying Apple's technology and designs with its "Galaxy" line of smartphones and tablets. But while the latest report claims that Apple is looking to Samsung for AMOLED technology, a previous report from a different Korean publication claimed that Apple was interested in the company's "Super PLS" technology for more traditional LCDs in the next iPad.

Cadillac or competing brand model ? Why ? Discussion, Caddy vs. Infiniti vs. Acura vs. ... Hyundai in Item Specific Cadillac Discussion; Just a few impressions of cars in my family that compare quite similarly to my CTS... 2004 Cadillac CTS vs. ...
Caddy vs. Infiniti vs. Acura vs. ... Hyundai
Just a few impressions of cars in my family that compare quite similarly to my CTS...
2004 Cadillac CTS vs. 2003 Infiniti G35
It's been told that when Cadillac first released the CTS, they set their sights directly at BMW. To be honest, Infiniti hit closer to that same target. But I don't mean this as a put-down; the Caddy has a personality all its own compared to the G35 and the Bavarian machines it aspires to be. Whereas the Infiniti is a textbook Bimmer-fighter, the Caddy is decidedly more Benz-like in feel; with its rock-solid body structure, firm but smooth suspension damping, and most especially it superb highway manners. This car would know where straight is if it didn't have a driver to guide it. It goes around corners in a very competent manner as well, with little body roll and a good amount of grip, without too much protest from the tires, and no protest at all from the chassis. The only thing is that the car doesn't feel like it's quite inclined to do so. It'll hustle when you tell it to, but isn't very eager to do it.
The G, on the other hand, is a much more willing road partner. The steering is weighted similarly to the Caddy, and also provides excellent on-center feel, but has a much quicker ratio which helps the car feel more alive. Stiffer springs than on the CTS keep body motions more controlled and make the car feel more nimble, and softer shocks help smoothen out the highway ride. It's an interesting combination compared to the CTS, and on this car, it works. The VQ engine for 2003 was rated at 260 hp, right in the ballpark of the Caddy's 255. The VQ does like to rev, though, making it feel considerably more peppy than the Caddy's decidedly torquier-feeling 3.6.
The interior is a mixed bag for both cars. Neither were class-leading in their day, and at the turn of the decade, the Caddy's monolithic center stack looks especially kitschy, and the Infiniti's array of non-intuitive buttonry looks more dated than it actually is. Considering the age of these particular cars, and adding to that the odometer reading on the G is more than double that of the Caddy, I'll leave out comparisons of interior quality, but I hope my CTS holds up better when it hits 100k. The G does have considerably more rear seat room, and its reclining back seat is a blessing. It is, however, a trade-off for not having a split-folding back seat as found in my CTS. Either car will make an excellent companion for a spirited road trip.
2004 Cadillac CTS vs. 2004 Acura TL
While the Caddy assumes the identity of a wannabe Mercedes and the Infiniti masquerades as a BMW imposter, the Acura TL doesn't even bother to aspire to anything. This lack of aspiration doesn't leave it with much personality, and whatever little it has, it seems to be confused about. Is it a FWD BMW? That sounds about right, but that's like saying that the new girl you met is like an unattractive Megan Fox. The assessment does not compute.
What we have here is a premium FWD sedan, in the same vein as the Nissan Maxima, Volvo S60, and VW Passat. It does have the objectives to play in the same league as the Caddy and Infiniti: a smooth V6 with a 258-hp power rating that squeezs right in between the two, a roomy, attractive and accommodating interior with seats that feel tailor-made to your body, and the feel of top-notch build quality and craftsmanship.
But where the Acura falls short is the all-important driving experience. Whereas the Infiniti utilizes a chassis derived from the reborn legendary Z-car and the CTS gets one designed exclusively for GM's flagship division, the Acura makes do with one pulled from the less glamorous Honda Accord. It does make the best of what its given, with sharp, weighty steering, firm handling, and flat cornering. However, you just can't drown out the "backgound noise" in the TL's steering caused by the engine's power going through the front wheels, obviously nonexistent in the Caddy and Infiniti. Stab the throttle making a right hand turn pulling onto a busy road, and the car will give you a slight but awkward tug through the steering wheel as it tries to comprehend the notion of turning and accelerating at the same time. When not forced to multi-task such activities, the Acura does every bit of a BMW impression the Infiniti does: smooth transitions between turns, superbly controlled body motions, and great steering feedback. However, the Acura is plagued with a less-than-ideal weight distribution that not only tends to overwhelm its front tire grip, it also forces stiffer suspension settings to support the weight of the transmission as well as the V6 hanging fore of the front axle. This caused a ride that is, although not harsh by any means, not nearly as smooth as the Cadillac and Infiniti.
The 3.2L V6 is a solid contender in the entry-lux class. It's a smooth piece, but unlike the Caddy's torquey 3.6 that makes its power in the useful lower rev range, or the Infiniti's VQ that makes its power, well, everywhere, this "J-series" motor, in typical Honda fashion, makes its power in the higher rev range. And although it likes to rev like the VQ, its lack of torque down low makes the motor feel sluggish compared to the others. It's not nearly as peaky as an S2000 or Civic Si, but in this class of midsize premium sedans, it is wanting for a little more low-end grunt.
Where the TL shines is inside. Where GM and Nissan invested their resources in developing (somewhat) dedicated platforms for their entry-lux sedans, Honda made up for it in giving its TL a class-leading interior and feature equipment. Everything from the overall design of the dash and center stack to the avant-garde instrument panel display conveys a special sense of occasion to the car. It's a lovely place to spend any amount of time on the road. For me, the piece de resistance is the car's built-in bluetooth system. Nowadays, all cars have it, but in 2004, Acura was a pioneer in equipping their products such. And unlike many early attempts by others at new technology, this one is nicely executed. Press a button on the steering wheel, talk to the computer, and it understands you without having to talk too much like Stephen Hawking's computer. The car also comes equipped with a Dolby DVD-Audio 5.1 surround sound system, which would be cool if you could find a place that sold a meaningful collection of DVD-Audio discs. Acura did make the effort to include a sampler disc with each TL they sold to give you a taste of the goodness. It makes satellite radio sound like John Cusack holding a boombox outside your window, but unfortunately, mp3 downloads don't come in 5.1 DVD-Audio format.
In spite of the flawed driving dynamics, I'd have to give the TL the nod for best build quality. Drive this thing down a crappy road, and aside from the firm suspension tuning, you'll wonder why all cars aren't screwed together as well as this one is. The Caddy may be well-built for an American car, but the TL is a well-built car that just so happens to be built in America. It's a small difference, but enough for Ohio to gloat to Michigan about it
2004 Cadillac CTS vs. 2006 Hyundai Azera
The Hyundai Azera is the kind of car Cadillac would be building if they didn't think they had to make the CTS. Where the CTS and G35 feign their best respective Mercedes and BMW impressions, Hyundai aims right at Lexus for this one. It's a big, soft pillowy sedan, and is so unapologetic about it to the point that it becomes an endearing quality. Sure, the Camry is also a big softie, but the lack of luxury surroundings make it like eating bacon fat without the flavor. Pillowy luxury cars like the Azera give you every bit of the unadulterated bacon experience. The seat cushions even feel like pillows inside of leather pillowcases compared to the other three cars. The interior is a handsome design made with high-quality materials that lends itself to allow very generous space in the front passenger compartment. The first thing you feel when you take a place in the driver's seat is relaxed. This feeling goes a long way in enhancing the cloud-like experience the car has to offer.
If you haven't noticed already, let's get one thing straight: this car is not made to be a canyon carver. This car is designed to float though whatever path you guide it through with as little drama as possible. Yes, the 263-hp 3.8L motor will spin the front wheels for a good second if you turn off the traction control and stand on the throttle from a dead stop. But that's just a side effect of a torquey engine that was designed to provide effortless passing power on the highway. You can barely even hear the engine as it pulls its way up the rev range. It runs smooth at all rpm's, but is at home cruising below 3,000. Try to throw it into a winding road, and the car will go where you point it, but only because it feels like it has its own sense of preservation. Like the fat lady who has to jump out of a burning high-rise apartment. Body motions are obviously not as controlled as in the other three cars, but it's surprisingly manageable. The car will let you know what it's doing, but only enough to keep you from plowing off the road. Nope, this car wasn't built to challenge any Nurburgring-Nordschleife lap times. This car, like the Lexus ES and Toyota Avalon its aimed against, and like the Cadillac Devilles and Lincoln Continentals those cars have largely displaced, are built in the grand tradition of covering large distances at a swift pace in superb comfort. Kind of like a poor man's G5 jet.

Opening Statement:
"Well, needless to say, it's very disappointing. You have to congratulate Wake Forest. In the second half, to make seven out of eight from the 3-point line ... It's strange, we take the ball out of bounds, throw it in the corner and shoot a three on the out of bounds pass, which I say we should never do. And we missed it, they go down the very next possession, they throw it from an out of bounds to the top of the key at the 3-point line, and they shot it and made it. It's something I don't believe in, but we did it anyway and it didn't go in, and they did it and it did go in. Just congratulate them. We're extremely disappointed, we're extremely frustrated. You can put a lot of emotion, you describe it how you want to - it's frustrating.
"It's something we haven't been through, it's something we're not enjoying going through. I didn't give them a long speech after the game. I told them, 'We have no chance if we fold. We have no chance if we give in. I'm not going to do that.' We're going to practice at 3:30 tomorrow and we're going to try to have a great practice. We're going to try to keep working every single day, and someway, somehow, try to find a way to fight out of it. It was hard for us, there's no question. The freshmen are trying - we had five freshmen on the court a couple of times tonight, but they haven't been through these wars yet. If I live long enough, maybe it will help us a couple years down the road, but I don't know if I can live through this right now.
"And let me say something, too - Ish Smith is a young man who has worked so hard on his game, for four years. He's really a gifted young man who is really playing well and did some nice things out there tonight. In the past, he hasn't been the threat for them that he is right now, but he worked hard and he is the threat for them. You have to congratulate their freshmen, too. Those two kids, (Ari) Stewart and (C.J.) Harris, they were 7-for-11 from the 3-point line themselves. We have to do a lot better job in a lot of areas. Our starting post players get nine rebounds, their starting post players get 21. We're 6-for-29 on the perimeter, and theirs is a lot better than that. Just congratulate Dino (Gaudio), he has really done a nice job with his team, and he's done a nice job every year."
Having never been in this position here before, do you think people will look at this as if the sky is falling?
"They could, we can't do anything about that. We're going to go to practice and work extremely hard tomorrow. Other people's outlook, we can't control that. We have a tough time controlling our own outlook. It's what it is - the ACC - and nobody feels sorry for you. We'd like to have some other guys out there, but the decision I made with Ed (Davis) I think is the right decision and with (Tyler) Z(eller) I didn't have a decision because that was already made."
What led to the decision for Ed to sit out tonight?
"He told me yesterday he felt like he was about 65 percent. And I didn't think it was right to play him unless he could tell me he was 90 percent. So he went out and said he had some little problems. I said, Give me a percentage,' and he said, 'About 80, 85.' And I just didn't think it was right to play the kid at that. We've got a six-day break here that hopefully will be really good for him. I was afraid that if I played him and he sprained it again it would be one of those nagging things. In the second half they killed us on the boards for three straight possessions and then they started making threes every time. It would have probably would have helped us to have him in there on some of those backboard plays. But still it's a game of basketball and North Carolina's team played Wake Forest's team."
What will it take to get this ship righted?
"I think we need to take things more personal on the court. We're North Carolina basketball, we're not supposed to lose. As soon as guys start giving their all on the court, I think we'll be fine ... To get three straight losses in a row is unacceptable."
You got your first start tonight, what was that like for you to fill in for Ed Davis?
"I've still got North Carolina on my chest and I need to produce like a North Carolina player and play like a North Carolina player. ... Making my first start, I was excited coming in and knew I had to produce. I think Ed would have disrupted some of Ishmael's shots and he would have given us a greater rebounding inside and scoring presence. Missing Ed is a huge factor. "
What was the mindset of this team in the locker room after the game?
"Everyone was speechless. Everyone knows we've got to dig deep right now and can't go belly up. We've got to keep fighting."
You said yesterday that you felt the team was lackadaisical in its approach. What do you think about how the team did tonight?
"I felt we competed in the first half. I just feel like we gave up too many open shots in the second half and Wake did a great job in their offense getting open shots, but we have to step up our play in defense and give it our all every game. You get knocked down, you've got to keep fighting."
Do you think this game would have gone differently if Ed Davis had played?
"I think he would have blocked some shots around the basket and his presence inside is always a major factor, but Coach wouldn't have given out 13 scholarships if we all couldn't play and we all should have pulled together and made a different ourselves."
Injuries aren't excuses, but how much has not having a full complement of players impacted the ability to practice?
"I don't think we've been up and down the floor very much in practice because we don't want to get guys more injured and you don't have your full team so you want to preserve people's legs - so it's definitely tough."
Is having some extra days off before next Tuesday at NC State helpful?
"I would love to play tomorrow. The break is not a good feeling because this loss and this feeling of how we played tonight is going to linger until we play that next game - we've got to use it as fuel to get better and use this feeling of losing to drive us to get better as a team."
Have you noticed a change in how Coach Williams is handling this team?
"In the beginning of the year he was doing a lot of teaching but now we're at the point that we need to know these things. Now it's a time where you just have to do what you need to do. ... It's tough. ... We've got to continue to fight and keep these guys' spirits up and know that everything is going to get better..."
Opening Statement:
"I just think it was another hard fought ACC road game for us. I think our freshmen did a great job stepping up and shooting the basketball. When you have two freshmen shoot 7-11 from three that's pretty good. They did that before at Gonzaga and in a very tough environment, those two kids were our leading scorers. They're not phased by where we're playing on the road, whether it's at Gonzaga, Ari [Stewart] and C.J. [Harris] played really well at Cameron, and both of the kids played pretty well here. I think Ishmael [Smith] did a great job pushing the basketball and then when we didn't have anything, he got us into pretty good offense. Playing the minutes he played in the game we played the other night, he deserves a lot of credit as well. I think our defense was good for us again tonight, holding them to 36 and 23. You win in here against a [North Carolina] Coach [Roy] Williams team, it's a great win, and I'm proud of our kids."

Stylist: LucianaRating:
Luciana is out of the world brilliant. She knows curly hair, can do anything and most of all wants you to be happy. More than talk she listens to you. She dry cuts curly hair which is the only way to go. Luciana also takes time on "education". She makes sure you know how to take care of your hair, how to style it and what you can do with your hair. I thought I knew my hair, but it never looked so good. It is dry but with her conditioning tips it's juicy good. You don't have to spend time and money on maintenance once she cuts it. I just shampoo, condition and go. She is just brilliant and you are going to get what you want. Great

In the USA, the note you call H is called B, and your B is our B-flat.
Sound[SoundNote["B"]] will give you what you recognize as H.
and Sound[SoundNote["BFlat"]] is what you think of as B.

Can some kind soul please post a pic of their relay panel? In the midst of my trouble shooting I think I have put a relay in the wrong slot now I have an Electro-mechanical power sterring assist and ESP light on. Before I call a buddy to hook this up to VAGCOM and want to make sure I have the relays in the correct place.
Also for future reference my Blower and Windshield washers where not working. It turns out I had a bad relay (bottom in the panel) that needed to be replaced.

Is this mindfulness of feeling? Watching pleasure and pain, liking and disliking arise and pass?
You should know that that which is arising and passing away is only the activity of mind. When something arises, it passes away and is followed by further arising and passing away. In the Way of Dhamma we call this arising and passing away ''birth and death''; and this is everything - this is all there is! When suffering has arisen, it passes away, and, when it has passed away, suffering arises again. There's just suffering arising and passing away. When you see this much, you'll be able to know constantly this arising and passing away; and, when your knowing is constant, you'll see that this is really all there is. Everything is just birth and death. It's not as if there is anything which carries on. There's just this arising and passing away as it is - that's all.
This kind of seeing will give rise to a tranquil feeling of dispassion towards the world. Such a feeling arises when we see that actually there is nothing worth wanting; there is only arising and passing away, a being born followed by a dying. This is when the mind arrives at ''letting go'', letting everything go according to its own nature. Things arise and pass away in our mind, and we know. When happiness arises, we know; when dissatisfaction arises, we know. And this ''knowing happiness'' means that we don't identify with it as being ours. And likewise with dissatisfaction and unhappiness, we don't identify with them as being ours. When we no longer identify with and cling to happiness and suffering, we are simply left with the natural way of things.
Ajahn Chah
The Heart Its Own Teacher
Each of us here is the same. We're no different from one another. We have no teacher at present — for if you're going to awaken to the Dhamma, the heart has to teach itself. If it doesn't teach itself, then no matter how much you have other people teach you, it won't listen, it won't understand. The heart itself has to be the teacher.
It's not easy for us to see ourselves. It's hard. So think about this a little bit. We've all done evil. Now that we're old, we should stop. Make it lighter. Make it less. There's really nothing else. This is all there is. Turn your minds in the direction of virtue.

I'm ten, I'm ten, I'm ten!
I am beautiful, Healthy, and have ALL my teeth. Daddy spoilt me all day with yummy food.
I think I have had the bestest day!
Happy birthday to me!
meowmy put a box down next to me and said 'here is a box for a box cat'. what is a cat meant to do? yes, how could I resist. She went back to doing stuff in the kitchen and I jumped in. Ooooh! wonderful! Daddy came by and saw me and gave me big pats and then tuna! I was a wonderful box cat from the planet box!
Meowmy and daddy have done it again. Dragged ANOTHER cat home. I'm trying not to be grumpy, but it's hard. She use to live across the road and was my arch enemy. She now is living in MY room!
Is this like when Jacqui arrived? If so I guess I can live with it. My food intake didn't reduce, my cuddles remained. HeHe... Jacqui looks more worried than me.
I guess grudgingly I can say welcome Katie cat, just leave me and my food alone!

|Wocky Kitaki
|A man fights to protect what's valuable to him, you know what I'm saying? [...] Man, when I'm with Alita... I feel like there's things worth protecting out there. You feel me?
Wocky Kitaki is the heir of the Kitakis, a family of feared gangsters. He was accused of killing Pal Meraktis, a doctor, and was engaged to Alita Tiala. Wocky disagrees with his father Winfred, who is trying to make "clean money". Wocky thinks the Kitaki family should keep with the "gangster" tradition.
The bulletEdit
Around December of 2025, Wocky Kitaki was shot in a turf war with the Rivales family. The bullet was lodged next to his heart. He was taken to the Meraktis Clinic, where he met Alita Tiala, who was working as a nurse at the time. Some time after the operation to remove the bullet, Wocky and Tiala became engaged. After the shooting, the Kitakis began to move away from the gangster lifestyle to try and make an honest living. Wocky, however, refused to go along with what he considered a sell-out move.
The trialEdit
- Main article: Turnabout Corner
|Winfred Kitaki
|My apologies, Mr. Justice... He is usually such a nice boy.
|Apollo Justice
|(Forgive me if I have a hard time believing that.)
Six months later, during a sudden family check-up report that his father had initiated, Wocky found out that his bullet had not, in fact, been removed. Indeed, the operation was nearly impossible, with few in the world capable of performing it successfully. Meraktis had hidden this devastating fact from the Kitakis to protect himself.
Furious, Wocky confronted Meraktis at People Park with a shiv. However, Meraktis was suddenly shot in the head, and Wocky fled the scene, dropping his shiv. He was later accused of the murder. Tiala found Apollo Justice to represent Wocky in court. Wocky tried to reject Justice as his lawyer, insisting that being in jail would "keep it real", and with Winfred arguing with Wocky about the gangster life, Justice was forced to go to trial without even having a good talk with his client. Wocky even testified against himself in court.
It would turn out during Justice's investigation of the crime that Tiala was not who she seemed to be. Being Wocky's nurse, she had known about the bullet, and she had engaged herself with Wocky with intent to inherit the Kitaki fortune when he died. Tiala had been the one to kill Meraktis because he was going to reveal her involvement in covering up Wocky's condition. She had hired Justice in the hope that the rookie defense attorney would be unable to acquit the young man.
Thanks to Justice, Wocky was declared not guilty and Tiala was arrested. Although he was now free, he showed no gratitude towards his defense, and was instead angry at Justice for putting Tiala in jail. Winfred assured Justice that Wocky simply had to face what had happened to him and that he would eventually understand someday. Winfred revealed that he had found a doctor who could safely remove the bullet from Wocky, but had wanted to pay for the operation with honest money since his illegal methods had almost cost him his son.
When the Kitakis set up a muffin business, Wocky pitched an idea to call the muffins "O.G. Crackers". He felt that "O.G. Cracker" would sound better than "O.G. Muffin".
|Wocky Kitaki
|Better to die young than fade away, bizzzoy!
Wocky is a stereotypical "gangsta" type who speaks in hip-hop slang (e.g., "that doc was wack, man!"), and thinks his dad is weak for wanting to get out of the family gangster tradition. He is quite engrossed with the archetypal "gangsta" lifestyle, wearing a Bad Badger T-shirt and even being pleased at the thought of going to jail, despite not having committed the crime for which he had been accused, in order to get some "street cred". His arrogant and brash attitude caused him to charge right into the middle of a turf war, and was shot as a result. His father claims that, deep down, Wocky has a good heart, while his mother claims that his gangster personality is just a front; even when given a gun and a target, he would not be able to pull the trigger.
- The surname "Kitaki" (北木) literally means "north tree", but the family is also visually linked to "kitsune", the Japanese word for fox and a common subject of Japanese folklore.
- "Takita" (滝太) comes from the Japanese word "kita" meaning "north". His full Japanese name shares the repetition of Tiala's name in that it consists of "north" repeated three times when written in the Asian format of surname first. Another link to Tiala is that her surname, "Minami" (美波), means "south".
- "Wocky Kitaki" may be a play on "walkie talkie". This could be a reference to phrase "walk the walk, talk the talk", which means that if someone says that they are going to do something, then they should go through with it.
- Wocky Kitaki's hair is styled like a fox, with two "ears" coming out of the fringe (with parts dyed blonde to look like the inside of the "ears") and an orange quiff styled to look like a fox's tail. This, along with the surname Kitaki and the fox head designs on his jacket, is a reference to "kitsune", the Japanese word for fox and a common subject of Japanese folklore.
- His relationship with Tiala is comparable to Phoenix Wright's relationship with Dahlia Hawthorne, to an extent.

Despite their resettlement in 2005, Villankulam residents complain about the lack of basic necessities. Their houses have no power, roofs and windows, and their bathrooms have no doors. For the authorities, they are "illegal residents" and their calls for help go unheeded. Despite the difficulties, Tamil, Sinhalese, Muslim and Christian families live in peace and harmony.
Residents of the village of Villankullam (Trincomalee district, eastern coast of Sri Lanka) have been war victims since 1990. Their homes have no roof or windows, their floors are in sand; they have no electricity and their fields cannot be farmed. They are almost without any basic resources. Since 2005, they have had the government to thank for their situation.
Affected by the second phase of the civil war, residents were forced to leave their homes in 1990. They were allowed back in 2005 but they complain that the authorities have not helped them since then, despite the government's Eastern Province Re-awakening Programme (Negenahira Nawodaya)
The village of Villankullam is home to 34 Tamil families, 22 Sinhalese, 6 Christian and 3 Muslim, all living in peace and harmony, without religious discrimination.
However, government officials have mistreated residents, doing nothing to help them develop their village or ensure justice after years of war.
Before the war, the village had rich farmland that allowed locals to earn a decent leaving from poultry and animal husbandry. Without government help, they lack the means to revive local plantations and farming.
At the time of resettlement, the Rotary International Organizations built 85 houses. At present, only 59 are occupied. In some of the others, goats and chickens have found shelter. Those under human occupation are mostly unsafe, if not outright dangerous.
"There are no roofs and windows, bathrooms have no doors. Even though there are walls, the houses are dangerous and the village has a lot of little children," some of the women said.
Residents also complain about attacks from wild animals like snakes and elephants.
The authorities appear to have forgotten the village. Neither the village officer (Grama Sevaka), nor the district secretary are willing to listen to local pleas for help and demands for services.
"When we ask for help, we are told that we are illegal residents," Nimal Wijerathna, a local labourer, said. courtesy: Asia News.it

Deborah Ann Woll
True Blood's new teen vampire Jessica was only supposed to last for a handful of episodes, but her actress alter-ego Deborah Ann Woll had other ideas. These days, the character is undead and well, and regularly adds a welcome burst of unpredictability to the proceedings. A USC graduate and classically trained actress, the geeky and talented Deborah Ann Woll is now the new face of teen vampire angst on HBO and a solid young performer to boot.
AppealDeborah Ann Woll is the woman who can make even the coolest guy embrace his inner geek without shame. If you don't believe that this statuesque redhead could be geekier than Steve Urkel and Screech Powers combined, check out her list of passionate interests. Love of computer games? Check. Puzzle enthusiast? You got it. Devout player of logic games? Yep. Proud owner of fake fangs from True Blood? Yes. She also owns every episode of Mystery Science Theater: 3000 ever broadcast. We are thoroughly geeked-out and in love.
While Deborah Ann Woll does provide hope for every basement-dwelling nerd that she might be the mystery woman that they're playing Warcraft with on Friday nights, she is most definitely taken. Just like her, Deborah Ann Woll's boyfriend is a certified geek with the necessary interests to back it up. Their relationship can be summed up by the fact that they spent their earliest days together watching episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel every night without fail. Depending on who you ask, that might sound slightly crazy or kind of romantic. To us, it sounds like true geek love, and we're a little bit envious.
SuccessThough she earned guest spots on three hit shows (ER, My Name Is Earl, and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation), Deborah Ann Woll was convinced that her frail nerves were affecting her career mobility. Maybe all she needed was a bite on the neck, since her role as the troubled "newborn" vampire Jessica on HBO's True Blood has brought out the best of her talents and provided a healthy career upswing. While she doesn't pack the popularity punch of her costars Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer, it's a testament to Deborah Ann Woll's abilities that she has taken what was once a small guest-starring role and gamely transformed it into a compelling recurring character.
Viewers might identify Deborah Ann Woll with her outwardly expressive True Blood character, Jessica, but they have significant differences. Most of them are on the inside, where Deborah Ann Woll considers herself to be somewhat of a shy and introverted person. She also admits to being a pushover who could use some of Jessica's self-confidence and sass to stand up to other people. Take as much confidence from your character as you want, Deborah Ann Woll, but just don't bite us on the neck -- unless we ask first.
Deborah Ann Woll BiographyDeborah Ann Woll's earliest artistic leanings went toward dance and music, but not acting. Growing up, she simultaneously learned how to play the piano and how to dance to the rhythm of swing and Latin music. While she developed her skills in both areas through the majority of her childhood, Deborah Ann Woll didn't feel that she was good enough at either one to keep going, but she did come to relish the energy of performing and the fear that came along with it.
Hungry for more fear and a new art form, Deborah Ann Woll turned her focus in high school to acting and began performing in school plays. Upon graduation, she hooked up with a New York theater company that specialized in classical productions. Through the process of acting as a whole, Deborah Ann Woll enjoyed the idea of playing characters who were either close by or completely far removed from her, but were all connected to her through their simple humanity. After completing a Shakespeare intensive class, Deborah Ann Woll moved to California to obtain a theater degree from USC. With that, her acting backbone was securely in place.
deborah ann woll guest-stars on csi and my name is earlAfter starring in a series of low-budget short films (which included the curiously named Woody Allen, The Apocalypse & three other ways to get a woman in bed), Deborah Ann Woll made her television debut on the gritty drama Life in 2007. The realm of television soon became a familiar place for the actress, who then spent one shift working in TV's longest-running hospital, as Nurse Aurora Quill on ER in 2008.
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation was the next high-profile series to be graced with a guest-starring appearance by Deborah Ann Woll. She played a waitress on a 2008 episode of the hit show before making the leap into the quirky comedic universe of My Name Is Earl. There she played Greta, a sheltered Camdenite who gets a taste of the strange world outside her compound, courtesy of Jason Lee. Deborah Ann Woll's guest appearance in this episode was especially notable, since it included a satirical ribbing of CSI's sister series, CSI: Miami.
deborah ann woll joins the cast of true bloodPerhaps feeling that her shyness and fear were impeding her success, Deborah Ann Woll went all out for her next audition as Jessica on True Blood, a young woman transformed into a vampire by Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer). After going so far as to eat her own tears in the audition, Deborah Ann Woll was ecstatic to get the part, until she realized that she had to learn a full Southern accent in less than five days. She practiced the accent without fail and also read the original True Blood novels, even though her character was a new addition to the story. Deborah Ann Woll's subsequent appearance on the show was originally meant to last no more than three episodes, but the producers were so taken by her work that she was invited back for the show's second season.
Having taken a big professional step by playing a character who is emotionally expressive and open, Deborah Ann Woll hopes to find new acting challenges down the road by playing closed-off characters with many internal challenges. She also predicts a possible return to stage acting, and in keeping with her geeky ways, more classes and some violin lessons. Until then, Deborah Ann Woll will continue to reap the creative and geek-friendly rewards of playing a fiery television vampire. .

Daily DeviationGiven 2009-04-27
mycology by ~cyberxaos suggester writes, "What I like about this piece the most is the contrast between the yellow/gold and rich blue. The gradient that the artist chose gave much interest to this wonderful image as well as brought such a warm contrast. I find myself staring at it, looking at the details. Truly the artist has mastered the 3D vision in this fractal. The render quality couldn't be better. The use of space is well done, the composition is aesthetically pleasing, and for a Julian, it is one of my all time favorites!" ( Suggested by DWALKER1047 and Featured by cmptrwhz )

Gallagher Stock Priced at $43.25 to Fund Wesfarmers Deal
Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. (AJG), the insurance broker expanding beyond the U.S. through acquisitions, sold about $821.8 million of shares in an equity offering to help fund its latest deal.
Gallagher sold 19 million shares at $43.25 apiece, below yesterday's closing price in New York, the Itasca, Illinois-based company said in a statement distributed by PR Newswire. Morgan Stanley and Bank of America Corp. led the offering.
Chief Executive Officer J. Patrick Gallagher reached a deal April 6 to pay A$1.01 billion ($950 million) to buy the insurance-brokerage operation of Perth, Australia-based Wesfarmers Ltd. (WES) The purchase will be the largest by Gallagher, which expanded in the U.K. by buying Oval Group and the Giles Group of Companies.
"This builds up New Zealand in a way that we probably couldn't have accomplished" over the next decade, J. Patrick Gallagher said in an April 7 conference call. "Same is true with Australia."
Gallagher closed at $43.66 in New York. That compares with $46.84 on April 4, the last trading day before the deal was announced.
Gallagher has climbed 5.1 percent in the past year, compared with the 26 percent gain of New York-based insurance broker Marsh & McLennan Cos. Brokers help commercial clients purchase coverage from insurers, collecting fees tied to the size of premiums.
Wesfarmers, which started in 1914 as a farmers' co-operative, is focusing on industries including retail after agreeing in December to sell its underwriting business to Insurance Australia Group Ltd. for A$1.85 billion.

NCAA Definition of an Extra BenefitAn extra benefit is any special arrangement by an institutional employee or a representative of the institution's athletics interests to provide a student-athlete of the student-athlete's relative or friend a benefit that is not expressly authorized by NCAA legislation. Receipt of a benefit is not a violation if it is demonstrated that the same benefit is generally available to the institution's students or their relative or friends or to a particular segment of the student body (e.g., foreign students, minority students) determined on a basis unrelated to athletics ability.
Prohibited Financial Aid, Benefits and Arrangements
An institutional employee or representative of the institution's athletics interests may not provide a student-athlete with extra benefits or services, including, but not limited to:
- Special discounts, payments arrangements or credit (e.g., credit line at a store) on a purchase or service (e.g., dry cleaning).
- Use of institutional telephones, long distance access codes or credit cards for personal reasons.
- Use of institutional copy machines and fax machines for personal reasons.
- An automobile or use of an automobile.
- Free or reduced-cost services, rentals or purchases of any type.
- Free or reduced-cost housing. A student-athlete cannot accept free or reduced-cost housing from any Ohio University employee or booster. This includes in Ohio, in the student-athlete's home city or in any other location.
- Free or reduced-cost storage of personal belongings.
- Loan of money, signing or cosigning of loans or guarantee of bond.
- Transportation (e.g., a ride home with a coach, ride with a booster).
- Cash or like items (e.g., gift certificates).
- Tangible items (e.g., clothing, cars, jewelry).
- Impermissible academic services (e.g., typing reports, papers, letters for a student-athlete).
- Free or reduced-cost entertainment services from commercial agencies without charge or at reduced rates, or free or reduced-cost admissions to professional athletic contests from professional sports organizations, unless such services are available to the student body in general (e.g., movie tickets, dinners/restaurants, use of car, car dealers, and community events).
- Educational expenses (other than from permissible institutional and outside sources).
A student-athlete cannot accept anything from an Ohio University employee or booster. The acceptance by a student-athlete of any extra benefit is a violation of NCAA regulations and places the student-athlete's eligibility for intercollegiate competition in jeopardy.
Permissible Benefits
Receipt of a benefit by student-athletes, their relatives or friends is not a violation of NCAA rules if it is demonstrated that the same benefit is generally available to the institution's students and their relatives or friends.
- Hometown Awards - A hometown group (other than an Ohio University booster club) may pay reasonable and necessary expenses of a student-athlete returning home to receive an award for athletics accomplishments. The value of the hometown award cannot exceed $80.
- Local Transportation - It is permissible for a student-athlete to receive reasonable local transportation (within a 30-mile radius of campus) on an occasional basis from an Ohio University employee.
- Occasional Meal
- A student-athlete or the entire team in a sport may receive an occasional meal (3 per quarter) in the locale of Ohio University's campus (within a 30-mile radius of campus) on infrequent and special occasions from an institutional staff member. An institutional staff member may provide reasonable local transportation to student-athletes to attend such meals. A student-athlete may receive an occasional family home meal from a representatives of athletics interests on infrequent and special occasions under the following conditions:
- The meal must be provided in the individual's home (as opposed to a restaurant) and may be catered; and
- A representative of Ohio University's athletics interests may provide reasonable local transportation to student-athletes to attend the meal function only if the meal function is at the home of that representative.
- Incidental Benefits - Ohio University may provide student-athlete with reasonable refreshments (e.g., soft drinks, snacks) for student-athlete's educational and business meetings and, on an occasional basis, for celebratory events (e.g., birthdays).

Marinas and haul out spots in Galveston or Texas City?
I'm moving to Galveston, TX this June and would like to know possible options where to keep my boat. It is a 27' sailboat with 4' draft. I'm pretty much a cheapskate so I'm not looking for anything fancy. I wouldn't be living aboard.
I do need to complete long overdue bottom work, including replacing a cutlass bearing so I'd like to know of haul out locations where I might keep the boat in a boatyard where I could do my own maintenance for 2wks-1month. I also need to drop the rudder in order to pull the shaft out, so I might as well replace the engine mounts and realign while I'm at it.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
PS>> Anyone know how long it would take to sail from Boston down the east coast, around florida, and up and across the gulf to Galveston? Hull speed is 6.25 kts and the waterline length is less than 27'.
A coUple of places that I'm aware of are Clear Lake Marine Center http://marinas.com/view/marina/4117 in the Clear Lake area and Pier 77 Marine http://www.pier77texas.com/ in Galveston.
I would guess, you're looking at a minimum of 3 weeks to sail her there, and that's without any significant weather delays.
If not living aboard, you may find it better to keep the boat on Clear Lake or further down the ICW, particularly from a cost standpoint. I believe South Texas Boatyard allows DYI.
I also recommend Ed Snyder, with Houston Yacht Sales if you're looking for a larger boat. A long time sailor in the area, he is a broker I don't hesitate to recommend.

Re: Creating Matrix from vectors
Assuming that the s1, s2,... are defined as equal length lists, then why
can't you just use:
A = Transpose[{s1,s2,..,sn}];
David Park
djmpark at comcast.net
From: Kinu [mailto:basukinjal at gmail.com]
Suppose i have a n number of vectors say s1, s2,... sn. I want to
create a matrix such that these n vectors are the n columns of the matrix.
I tried using A = {s1,s2,..,sn};
however this keep the vectors intact and stacks them one below the
other. How can i make a matrix from these??
Can anyone please help me with this.

" Location was great and hostel was just okay, deffinelty not the best. Bathroom was quite dirty, and there's really no privacy to get changed-unchanged in the shower. Private room was big, but bed was extremely springy. Also a lot of noise could be heard from the street. In our private room a woman came in TWICE in the morning. There must have been some mix-up at the front with her key/room, but it was very disturbing being woken up at 7am by a random woman in your room. "- Анонимный
