Call for Submissions: Whatever Saves #5
Posted on April 26, 2012 at 4:18pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
hi all,
i am putting together a new compilation zine and would very much like your contributions!
the theme is pathology, inspired both by my job in a hospital and a giant pathology textbook i couldn't resist buying. pathology can refer to the study of disease, viruses and bacteria, cancers and infections--but it can also evoke 'normal' or 'typical' reactions or expressions taken to an extreme ('pathological gambling', etc.).
of course, this definition of…Continue

Join us every Friday from 9pm till late for French and English conversation.
The Bistrologue is our venue. It's a French bistro close to Saint Cyprien Republique.
Time and date: every Friday, 9pm — late
Venue: The Bistrologue
Cost: The group is free, but to ensure a good relationship with the venue, you must buy at least one drink an hour and you must pay at the time of ordering.
Coming? Pop in whenever and at whatever time suits you. There is no need to sign up for meetings. Note that 9pm is a guideline to ensure that newcomers will find us: if you already know the group and want to come earlier, feel free to!
Anyone who is fluent in English and wants to practice speaking French. The aim of the group is to meet people for conversation in French and English in a relaxed environment. There's no set topic -- it's like meeting up with a big group of friends for a chat over a few beers.
The Bistrologue is a bistro located within 5 minutes' walking distance of the metro station Saint Cyprien Republique.
Address: 2, place Ravelin, 31000, Toulouse
Metro: Saint Cyprien Republique (line A)
There are a number of friendly hosts for this event. There is usually at least one of them there to look after the group, however sometimes they can't make it. You can still find the group though, just listen out for a large group of English speakers or ask the bar staff for the English group.
The idea is to speak for half of the time in French and half of the time in English, thus making the meeting like a language exchange. You can chat to the person beside you, in front of you etc or get up and move around the table to speak to whomever you want.
A lot of our members are bilingual or at least fluent in both French and English. Please bear this in mind before coming, as the language level is high.
Check the about us page first and then the forum.
Become a member of English in Toulouse! It's free and easy to do. As a member, you receive invitations to special events, can contact other members and leave messages on our forum — you'll also receive an e-mail reminders a few days before meetings.

The Most Popular Baby Names of 2013
We all love lists, especially if we can play along with the subject. That being said, a new list is out that gives the most popular baby names. This is NOT the Social Security Administration list that is accepted as the "official" list since it ostensibly includes all Americans born in the year. No, this list comes from BabyCenter.comand they claim their data comes from over 500,000 parents who took part in the survey.
Here are the top ten of each gender:
1. Sophia
2. Emma
3. Olivia
4. Isabella
5. Mia
6. Ava
7. Lily
8. Zoe
9. Emily
10. Chloe
1. Jackson
2. Aiden
3. Liam
4. Lucas
5. Noah
6. Mason
7. Jayden
8. Ethan
9. Jacob
10. Jack
Hmm, I'm sure "William" will do better on the Social Security list. For BabyCenter's complete list, click here.

Park Swings- Shizaya
Shizuo sat, very pissed, on the slide at the new playground. Izaya and him had been assigned to community service for once again destroying the city. There service was to watch over the little kids in the park and make sure that noone touched them. It was 9 am and noone was there yet.
"Can i just kill you and go home?" Shizuo asked Izaya as he finally showed up.
"Now Shizu-chan what would be the fun in that?" he smirked
"Killing you sounds pretty damn fun" Shizuo sighed.
"We have this whole park to ourselves!" Izaya smiled as he spun around.
"Yippie" Shizuo muttered sarcastically.
"Awww you look so sad Shizu-chan~ Want a kiss?"
"What the hell did you just say?!" Shizuo said as he glared up at him. Did he just say he wanted to kiss him?!?!?!!?
"I asked if you..." he paused to move in closer, severely close to his ear and whispered "wanted a kiss"
Every instinct in his body told him to punch him...in the face...as hard as he could. Excpt two little voices.

Mystery of the One-eared Cow
1 Attachment(s)
here's one for you all, why does this cow only have one ear? -=chuckle=- go grab a can of Bag Balm to check it out better....
Can't answer the question but it reminds me of the story about the three legged pig.
oh, there's an answer alright.... it's subliminal.....
1 Attachment(s)
this might help.....
Is this picture on a can of Bag Balm?
Is the ear folded forward? It looks like it might be covering the bottom of the cows eye. I'm sure it's not, but it's my best answer. :yes:
p.s. are you going to give us the answer to this one, or do we have to figure it out like the other one?
The blindingly obvious question is:
Why does the "cow" also have one horn?
That is, we have a "cow" with one ear and one horn.
Is that to suggest that the Bag Balm is equally helpful to both men and women?
The other idea I had is the fact that cows that are fed red clover (which is the plant prominantly displayed on the emblem) produce more CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) in their milk, and CLA is proven to be an anticarcinogen. So, the cow head, with one ear and one horn, surrounded by red clover, suggests that Bag Balm is an anticarcinogen for both men and women. (?)
Or, more generally, that Bag Balm is healthy for both men and women. (?)
It's just a SWAG (Scientific Wild Assed Guess), but it's my best SWAG.
And, repeating the concerns of the previous poster, do you know the answer to this riddle, or are you merely posing the question and hoping someone provides a credible answer?
actually there are 2 horns. The closest horn is clearer in this pic.
as to why 1 ear?
Dang, the cow is 109 years old and you expect all parts to be intact? I would like to see how you hold up after 109 years.
I'm not suggesting you don't know the answer to the other one, and I'm pretty sure you know the answer to this one, but can there be a time limit on this one? Say...6 months? I've put solving the other riddle ahead of some of my other projects here at home and I don't know if I can procrastinate much more without having to hire someone to help. :no::laughing::wink:
My guess is that the artist forgot to put the ear on the cow.
It was out in a winter storm, got frostbite on the left ear, it fell off.
The clover represents the feeling of walking barefoot through a field of clover..... looking for the ear that fell off your cow that won a first-place ribbon in last summer's 4-H fair and knowing that if you don't find that ear and some damn good adhesive, he won't win the blue ribbon again next time and mom and dad are going to put him in the freezer. :clover:
nap's 109-year-old theory works for me.
don't worry, this one is much easier than the riddle at the bottom, and i will answer soon if no-one sees what i see.
look at the larger pic i posted carefully. the answers should 'jump right out at you' if you just relax and see them.... if i have to, i'll touch it up to make the things easier to see and post them. but they're there all right.....but WHY???
I grew up in an urban environment.
Do cows have horns? I don't think so. I always understood that bulls have horns. Not cows.
both sexes have horns nestor....
I'm thinking maybe one flew over the moon?
I'm udderly exhausted looking at the pic...
I can bEARly make out something but not sure what.
The photo gets kind of milky when you try to expand the field of view
here's another clue for you all....
A real cow has a much larger head and a longer face in comparison to this cows neck and horns. Does the disproportionate size of the head have anything to do with it?
Would it help to look at the picture up-side-down or side-ways to see the answer?

For years I have written notes to Forrester clients about technology, business, and the future -- this blog will now carry many of those thoughts. Why "Counterintuitive?" My earliest mentor, Howard Anderson, founder of the Yankee Group, taught me that the most valuable analysis looks at the world in new ways -- questioning prevailing sentiment. I've got three "counters" in mind for this blog: 1) The lunch counter. I want to stimulate a commonsensical conversation about complex ideas -- in the simple language of the diner. 2) Counting. I will be surfacing lots of Forrester data that challenges common beliefs. 3) Counter...to the conventional intuition.
I will seek to serve four roles: CEOs, Chief Information Officers, Chief Marketing Officers, and Strategy Professionals.
This is a test. I aspire to originate valuable analysis and conversations at this blog. If not, I'll find a different medium.

Hi George,I just returned from SXSW and meeting analyst Jeremiah Owyang was a highlight of the week.I am a consultant in NYC and count several major media companies and a couple of social media sites as clients. I could not do my job without the insights Jeremiah shares on web-strategist. I tell all of my clients that if they only have time for one web and social media strategy blog it's got to be Jeremiah's.Passing this on to you because I also always mention that he works for Forrester. It's because of Jeremiah that I am now familiar with other Forrester analysts like Charlene Li, Julie Katz and Peter Kim. (I attended Charlene's presentation at SXSW and thought it was very informative and among the best of the week.)I also now regularly view Forrester briefs and even accepted a call from a Forrester account exec. Until Jeremiah went to work for you I was unaware that Forrester was such a progressive leader. I really value your content and think you have built a powerful team.Great work! - THANK YOU! I appreciate it!!Kim

Comment from Max Pucher on Fri, 04/25/2008 - 02:14
George, 'Counterintuitive' is a great title. The question is what do you mean to inspire with it? As Chief Architect at ISIS Papyrus Software I have learned to trust my intuition more than anything. Unfortunately a lot that I read from analysts is counterintuitive to me but not necessarily more plausible. Do you mean to imply that being counterintuitive is being a deep, strategic thinker? Does intuition mean for you to follow the most obvious explanation? I am not sure from your introduction. I too question prevailing sentiments and even more prevailing visions - in the diction of the great Thomas Sowell - such as the unproven benefit claims of BPM and SOA. So can we discuss those in a counterintuitive way?

Three investing strategies have proven successful for buying gold, silver, and other commodities.
The first is to buy when the long-term price trend is up. If the price stays above the 200-day moving average, the long-term trend is up. This has been true about 55% of the time, according to stansberryresearch.com. Returns average 32% annualized in a double-long gold ETF such as DGP.
The second is to buy when the price of gold rose in the last 30 days against four major currencies: the U.S. dollar, the euro, the Japanese yen, and the British pound. When this happens there is a true bull market in gold, not just one weak currency. Buy, and then test again at the end of the next 30 days. This condition has been met about 32% of the time. Returns average 42% annualized in a double-long gold ETF such as DGP.
The third strategy is to buy when both of the first two strategies apply - when the price of gold is above its 200-day moving average, and it has also risen in the last 30 days against the U.S. dollar, the euro, the Japanese Yen, and the British Pound. This applies about 26% of the time. Returns average 50% annualized in a double-long gold ETF such as DGP.
Right now - early August, 2011 - all conditions are met. It's an ideal time to buy gold by any historical measure.
Silver looks similar. It is trading above its 200-day moving average. It rose against the four major currencies in the last 30 days. These same tests can be applied against most commodities, although average returns may differ.
Investors seeking safety can also look at the "Commitments of Traders" reports on the website of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (cftc.gov). The CFTC is the Federal agency regulating trades in commodity futures. The Commitments of Traders reports appear every week. They show you the number of long, short, and spread positions in futures for each traded commodity such as gold or silver. You can track weekly changes, and see whether long or short positions predominate. Results are broken down by "reportable" (big) and "non-reportable" (small) positions. You can even see what "managed money" (hedge funds) is doing. This is a true crystal ball letting you look inside the commodity market.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

Hubballi, Jan 11: Senior BJP leader Jagadish Shettar has said that his party will not justify the arson threat by Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel and attacks by Kagawad MLA Raju Kage and Uttara Kannada MP Anant Kumar Hegde.
Responding to the queries of media persons, he said that mistake committed by anyone is a mistake and BJP condemns such acts. "We have discussed these matters with BJP state president B Y Yeddyurappa and he will take appropriate action against these representatives," he said.
He called upon elected representatives to abide by law and become role model for commoners. Commenting on the appointment of Lokayukta, he said that the government takes suggestion from opposition leaders but neglects them while finalizing the name. "The last time, we had suggested name of Justice Vikram Sen, but it was dropped in the final list," he said.
Denying commenting on the appointment of Justice Vishwanath Shetty as the Lokayukta, Shettar said that if there is any allegation against Shetty, the government should review it.
When asked about implementation of Justice Sadashiv commission recommendations, he said that the BJP had given consent to the proposals during the recent Madigara Mahasamavesh. "After that convention, we were approached by communities like Bhovi and Lambani, who alleged that the Justice Sadashiv report is misleading," he said.
"We suggest the government to convene a meeting. The chief minister should try to create consent among all the communities before implementing the commission's recommendations," he opined.

Liberals left for dust as Egypt goes Islamist
One cannot but marvel at the deft political manoeuvring of Egypt's Islamists over the past year, as they distanced themselves from violence on the ground against their liberal opponents while orchestrating an action replay of the 1979 Iranian revolution.
Indeed, as in the aftermath of the Iranian revolution, the Egyptian Islamists' political skills have been matched only by the incompetence of the country's liberal elite.
This week, the latter was again on display, when the liberals decided to boycott a 100-member committee appointed by the new parliament to draw up a new constitution.
Their gripe? That, despite earlier assurances from the Islamists that the committee would be inclusive, they ended up appointing two thirds of the seats to their own rank-and-file. Only half-a-dozen Christians and women were appointed, leading the Coptic church to officially condemn the committee as illegitimate.
But what did the liberals and Copts expect?
Saying one thing and doing another is an integral part of a politician's job description the world over. In fact, the Brotherhood's treachery was as predictable as it was shameless, marking as it did the culmination of a series of similar betrayals.
Initially, they promised to stand for only half of the parliamentary seats up for grabs, then fielded candidates for all of them.
And after repeatedly stating they would not offer a presidential candidate - and even suspending one of their own members for putting his name forward - the Brotherhood has just selected its deputy chairman, Khairat Al-Shatir, to run for president on the group's official ticket.
In any event, since the Islamists won 77 per cent of the parliamentary vote, in contrast to the revolutionary parties' pitiful two per cent, the former have every right to dominate the committee.
By storming out in protest, the liberals come across yet again as spoilt children hopelessly outplayed in a game of football in which they end up sobbing at the opposition's refusal to let them shoot at an open goal once in a while.
They were so unprepared for Egypt's complex post-revolutionary political game, and so pitifully lacking in support, that they may as well have stayed at home - not least because the referee, in the form of the all-powerful military council, was always going to do its utmost to see that they got a good thrashing. This week, the Brotherhood was again publicly criticising the generals for betraying the goals of the revolution - this from a political group that itself firmly came out against an uprising in the revolution's early stages.
Of course, it's all empty rhetoric for public consumption.
The pact formed between the Islamists and generals when Hosni Mubarak stepped down - political freedom in return for supporting the status quo - is as strong as ever.
That Al-Shatir will be Egypt's next president can be little doubted. The real danger now, with Egypt's economy in worse shape than it has been for decades, the crucial tourist trade still showing few signs of recovery and crime rates at all-time highs, is that the Egyptian masses will lose any faith they may have had in the benefits of Western-style democracy.
Al-Shatir encapsulates the Brotherhood's shrewd ambiguity perfectly, extolling both the virtues of democracy and an Islamist state.
No one should be surprised when, in a final act of betrayal, having embraced the former, he establishes the latter.

Richard F. Doyle, MRA
Richard attended St. John's Prep. School, Collegeville, Minnesota; White Bear High School, White Bear Lake, Minnesota; and St. Thomas College St. Paul, Minnesota.
Heavily into athletics as a youth, Doyle served four years with the U.S. Air Force during the Korean War and three years with the Marine Corps Reserve, including a stint at officer training school in Quantico, Virginia. He was an air traffic controller for l7 years. He bore many holes in the sky as an active commercial pilot and flight instructor for 3 years. He coached two U.S. Tug of War teams at the 1986 World Tournament in The Netherlands.

15 Questions with Guitarist Adam Savage of Mongrel
By Natalie Perez
Female-fronted rock act Mongrel meld their punk and metal influences to create a sound that's unique yet familiar.
Below, Mongrel guitarist Adam Savage discusses the band's latest release, 2012's Reclamation (released September 25 on Darwinism Failed), and how it differs from their past releases. He also looks ahead to the band's future.
For more about the band, check out their Facebook page.
1. How do The New Breed of Old School and Reclamation differ?
Reclamation is about 22 minutes longer and has six more songs [laughs]. Just being a wiseass. The New Breed EP was six re-recordings of songs from our prior full-length to re-introduce the band with a female singer after Jess Sierra joined the band. Reclamation is the next evolution in our songs, branching out into a few other directions and really bringing our range of influences to the table. I think it's some of our best stuff to date.
2. Was your songwriting and recording process any different than usual for this CD?
Not really. Jess helped re-write the chorus for the song "The More I Bleed" on this CD, so it was cool to get her writing a bit. We work well writing together so I'm really excited to see where things go on the next album since most of this was written before Jess joined the band, though she definitely added her own flavor to the songs. We recorded at the same studio with the same engineer/producer that we used for The New Breed of Old School and Declamation, so it was very comfortable and easy for us being in the studio working on this.
3. How has the band's sound evolved from The New Breed of Old School to Reclamation?
The New Breed EP was mostly live in the studio with some overdubs for particular parts but mostly a quick recording process. With Reclamation, we did take more time, did more layers and tracks to flush it out a bit more. I think Reclamation is a bit more refined than New Breed, but not refined in the neutered, corporate sense. I think it's just a mix of songs that I feel were well written and a band that was a bit more experienced recording and playing together, making it happen in the studio for this one.
4. What inspired the album title? Is it a concept album?
Reclamation is a companion piece to our Declamation EP that was released in May 2011. We recorded both at the same time and from the same batch of songs we were working with. Some of the tracks we knew had to be on the full-length and just worked together better so we split the others off onto the Declamation EP as a teaser of sorts, which was very well received. But that's why the two CDs have similar artwork and titles. With both of them, it was us declaring our independence and survival from the past lineups of the band, that the band lived on, the songs lived on, and that we were coming back stronger than ever to reclaim our band and our spot in the local/regional/and now national scene. So it's not really a concept album in the sense of story line throughout the songs but definitely a concept in the naming and visual components of these last two releases.
5. This album took four years, five bandmember changes, two studios, two labels and more. Why so much drama behind it?
Yeah, I'd long half-joked that this album was my Chinese Democracy with all the delays, changes, etc. The parting with our old label (Screaming Ferret Wreckords) was mutual and amicable. Tim over at SFW is a great guy, and we're really grateful for the opportunity he gave us on our last full-length album back in 2008, so nothing bad to say there. Now we're working with Thom Hazaert and THC-Music, so it's another great opportunity.
As far as all the drama, there were just a lot of tensions and deteriorating personal relationships in the band back when this process first started. Once some of the long-coming changes took place, it was time to start the album over with a new studio, new people and a newly liberated energy, making the band fun to be in again. While the process to get to this point was at times incredibly frustrating, sometimes things happen for a reason, and I feel we're now at the right time, at the right place and with the right people in and around the band to make things happen. So if that's the case, then all of the stress and bullshit is all of a sudden worthwhile.
6. Did the band have any definitive goals they were shooting for before the recording process began for this album?
To make the best album we could of course!
7. Are you using any new instrumentation you've never used in the recording process before?
No. We told the accordion and banjo players to sit this one out, so it's still the guitar/bass/vocals/drums instrumentation we've always been thus far.
8. When did you start writing for this album? How was the songwriting process different/similar to previous Mongrel albums?
Some of the songs go back as far as 2006; well, actually "No Gods No Masters" was one of the first songs I brought to the band back in 2003. It really wasn't that different in that I wrote nearly all the lyrics and the basic songs that got flushed out over the years into their current forms. When we get the opportunity to work on the next album, I have no doubt there will be more collaborative song writing with Jess and the rest of the band as I think we finally have a good set of song writers in place.
9. The New Breed of Old School was a sizable critical success. Did you feel any pressure to follow it up?
The critical success of New Breed was awesome since we really were testing the waters as far as seeing how the fans at large would respond to us with a female singer after years of male singers. The response we got for that was amazing to see and got us to quickly get back in the studio to start work on what would become Declamation and the new album, Reclamation, with a "If you like that, wait till you hear this stuff" as a mindset. So we were very excited to follow it up, certainly not intimidated.
10. Can you go into one or two tracks on the new album? Give us the track title and a brief description of how the track sounds and how it came about.
We can go with "Bored to Death," which is the lead-off track of the new album and the "single" we did a video for, which is out now on YouTube and has been getting a great response. The song is a high-energy hard rock song with a punky edge to it, kinda a Rolling Stones/Dead Boys/Trashlight Vision vibe if I had to describe it. As far as the song's lyrical basis, it's about finding yourself in a bad relationship that just beats you down and realizing you need to do something to make changes. "Zombies of War" is a more dingy track that really shows off Jess vocally and addresses the political and military-industrial complex's policies over the last decade where we are lied to and sent to die for profits, power and personal grudges.
11. How was the vibe in the studio?
It was a lot of fun, very relaxed, great energy and a lot of excitement over what was coming out.
12. What are your expectations for the album?
I don't know if I'd say we have expectations. Nothing is guaranteed in this industry and economic climate, but we're hoping the fans will respond really well to the new album, that we'll further get our name out there and hopefully with a little luck and a lot more hard work, get more cool opportunities to present themselves.
13. What is your favorite song to perform live?
"No Gods No Masters" is always fun because it's a high-energy song and a great crowd-participation song. I know "The More I Bleed" is a favorite for Jess because she gets to show off her aggressive vocals really well. But since the great response to the video, I'm really enjoying "Bored to Death" live and seeing more people singing along to the song, which has been awesome.
14. Any big plans for the near future?
Playing shows, promoting the new album and seeing how it all plays out in the coming months. Fingers are crossed, though!
15. Anything you want to say to your fans?
First off, thank you. We have amazing fans who've been so supportive and patient waiting for this new album but have stuck by us, which is so appreciated. We really hope everyone will check out the new album. If you've liked us thus far, I think this will be an album you'll be really happy with. We're also always very appreciative of hearing from the fans, so please hit us up at our website, on Facebook and Twitter.

Business Ins & Outs
Town Hall Moving to Replace Blue Ridge Town Hall, formerly of 2340 Wisconsin Ave., will move in to the Blue Ridge space at 2218 Wisconsin Ave. in the coming weeks, according to the Glover Park Gazette. The owners of Town Hall will acquire the building, which includes a large patio space and bar, and the property's liquor license. According to the Gazette, the owners of Blue Ridge, Eli Hengst and Jared Rager, were unable to complete their plans for opening a coffeehouse and diner in the space because of ongoing complications with Mendocino Bar & Grill. Hengst and Rager subleased the M Street property to the Grill, which was forced to close last spring due to back taxes.
'Uncommon Furnishings' Comes to Town Local and international designer, artist and furniture maker, Jan Marfyak has set up shop, Uncommon Furnishings, at 35th and N Streets. "It's got a different buzz," says Marfyak approvingly of today's Georgetown. He has been around D.C. for years as well as the New York and L.A. arts scene and has worked with Krupsaw's, Antony Childs, Miller & Armey and Muleh.
Displaying decorative objects for homes – polished petrified wood, calcium slabs and mill stones, to name a few intriguing pieces – Marfyak pulls from his warehouse in Montgomery County and his world travels. His designs involve unusual textures, forms and colors with residential and commercial applications. If you are looking for unique framings or yet-to-be-authenticated petrified crocodiles from China – or not – stop by and say hello to Marfyak. Each of his art pieces tells a story, and he can tell quite a few of his own. He is well worth the trip. Uncommon Furnishings is at 1301 35th St., NW, 202.422.6695.
Liquor Store Hours Extended to Midnight Neighborhood liquor stores can now stay open until midnight instead of 10 p.m. D.C.'s new law which raises alcohol taxes – from nine to 10 percent – also includes extending hours for retail liquor sales to offset losses for the businesses involved. Already, liquor stores such as Wagner's and Dixie Liquor, are open until midnight Thursday through Saturday.

Living in the wild takes toll on TV's "Survivorman"
By Belinda Goldsmith
SYDNEY (Reuters) - Les Stroud, better known as TV adventurer "Survivorman," was chased by a jaguar, nearly dropped dead due to heatstroke and spent a sleepless night among lions. But now, he's tired of it all and ending his popular series about living in the wild.
Stroud is the Canadian host of the TV show "Survivorman" on the Science Channel in which he spends a week alone in the wild with little or no food and water or equipment, filming himself as he battles to survive in harsh environments.
But Stroud, 47, said he is filming his final adventure in the wild in Papua New Guinea this month which would wrap up his third and last series as Survivorman, although he expected the nickname would stick with him as he moved onto other projects.
"It takes a lot out of me as I really do what I do for real, with no camera crew, no nights in hotels like others do, and it takes a toll on my body," Stroud told Reuters.
"You can only do seven days surviving without food a certain number of times a year. I'm pleased with what I have done, I've been copied around the world, but 25 times I've not eaten anything for a week while sleeping on rocks. I need to move on."
Stroud, who has just released a book called "Survive! - Essential Skills and Tactics to Get You Out of Anywhere - Alive!," does not expect his new projects to be without risk.
He has spent more than 20 years as an outdoor adventurer and instructor in survival, teaching skills such as white water paddling, sea kayaking, hiking, and dog sledding.
"It's just what I do," he said, describing a possible new TV series in which he would follow in the footsteps of famous explorers. Continued...

With 890GX motherboards we are seeing some support for 2000MHz but unfortunately not all can reach that height. For instance the ASUS M4A89GTD USB3 that OCC used as the base for testing the 2x2GB Mushkin Ridgeback 996902 PC3 16000 is limited to 1800MHz. In theory, by reducing the total spe

Dropping $750 on RAM might be beyond the budgets of some, but if you do video editing or run a server with lots of connections or virtual machines, 12GB sounds just about right. That is where Crucial's new 12GB DDR3 kit comes in, three 1333MHz 4GB DIMMs with timings of 9-9-9-25 @ 1T.

Kingston's HyperX PC3 1866MHz LoVo DIMMs seem a little strange at first glance and not just because of the green heatspreaders. It seems counterintuitive that a HyperX module, billed as Kingston's fastest product line should also be environmentally conscious.

They have returned, the Kingmax Hercules PC3-17600 represents the higher end of DDR3. Clocked out of the package at 2200MHz @ 10-10-10-30 2T the frequency is unarguably high even if the timings look relaxed.

The OCZ Black Edition DDR3-1600 memory kit is supposed to be designed specifically for AMD Black Edition CPUs. The colour certainly matches and the badge on the heatspreaders are a nice touch but it is really the performance that matters, which is what Benchmark Reviews set out to determine. 8-8-8-24 timings are relatively low, but to refer to RAM that uses the standard DDR3 voltage, 1.65V, as low voltage does seem to be a stretch.

Hi-Tech Reviews takes a look at two alternatives to buying high end memory that comes equipped with large heatspreaders. Much of the time it is possible to purchase RAM with similar timings and speed for quite a bit less; or even more fun is to buy lower speed RAM and overclock it until it tries to melt. Picking up a third party cooler ensures that the meltdown won't happen quite as quickly, but the question remains as to whether the high end DIMMs that come equipped with heatspreaders can compete with third party memory coolers.

Mumbai: Actresses are fetched into the brands vastly and most of the actresses who are roped into the bigger brands are who are the leading Bollywood babes. The more their worth in the cinema industry goes up, the more their price for an endorsement rises up. Yes, that's true! The leading heroines of the filmdom have been charging the eye-opening amounts for the endorsements. Since they know that the products sell on their names, they take the full advantage of the same in terms of bigger money from the brands. And obviously they are happily paid the bigger bucks since the brands are aware of the fact that they will recover the amount with super big sales of the item the actresses have been associated with.
Few days back, we heard and reported you about Katrina Kaif's association with a chocolate brand 'Choc On' and now another leading babe of the entertainment industry – the woman with the worth as Katrina carries rather this actress is worth more than Katrina. She is Kareena Kapoor, who has been roped in to become the brand ambassador of another chocolate brand. Kareena is to turn a brand ambassador of Alpenliebe 2 Choco Eclairs. This chocolate brand has been introduced by Perfetti Van Melle India (PVMI). The reports have it that this would be Kareena Kapoor's first endorsement for a confectionary brand. The gal is super thrilled for it. Well, she must be! After all, she charges super high for the endorsement and her bank has added super extra bucks now.
Kareena is now going to be featured in the TV commercial of the company and this ad will be shot by Ravi Udyawar. Kareena is happily looking forward for the shoot to happen. It is said that the ad will be made as per the taste of the audiences.

Com-pac 25
How long does it take to put the mast up and secure it on a rig like that and get it in the water? I''m thinking along the same lines as you guys. I want a 25'' or 26''trailerable sailboat.
Com-pac 25
I have never sailed on a Com-pac 25, but had the opportunity to look one over at the Annapolis sailboat show a few years ago. It caught my interest because I had just purchased a 26 ft.trailable sailboat called a "Classic Yacht" and at the time of purchase, Com-Pac hadn''t released the 25.The Com-Pac 25 is a very nice boat! Before buying the 26 footer, my first boat was a Compac-19. I went to Hutchinson''s mfg.plant in Clearwater,Fla to get the boat and was given a tour of the plant while there. The quality of their manufacturing process is top notch, and their boats reflect it. The company stands behind their product, and the boats hold their value well. I''m very happy with the boat I purchased and you might want to also take a look at it, and maybe a Seaward 25 to have some boats to compare the Com-Pac to.I''m sure there are some other "big" trailable sailboats out there, but those are the two I''m most familiar with. My boat was manufactured in Chanute, Kansas and I think the company has a website,as does Seaward. Anyway, good luck on your endeavour!
Com-pac 25
I would like to hear from any sailors that have actually experienced this boat or has knowledge of this boat. I am really looking for the largest in small cruising boats that are trailerable of good quality. I have been to the Compac website but I would like to hear suggestions or any comments and unbiased opinions on the Compac 25.
I really appreciate it!

AvoidNothing has changed in the 10 years this crappy site has been around. Except there are only a handful of idiots left there now - and some of the most vocal are in relationships but refuse to leave the site. Its sad that its their only socialization. Even more sad that they run off everyone. Blogs consist of posting every mundane thought and boring activity of the retarded retirees/unemployed/disabled person's day. Not interesting in the least. Forums are just as bad. Chat lobby was gone years ago.

UselessSimply horrible site. Features are easy to use, but members are either Nigerian scammers or obese aging women who did not have friends in middle school and who are attempting to relive their misspent youth. Blogs and forums are easy to use, but members are either retarded, illiterate, or crazy for the most part. It can be fun to watch the potheads fight with the republicans, but even that gets boring pdq. Just watch jersey shore. Smarter people there...
Membership is shrinking to nonexistence, so don't waste money on membership!

Below averageThere can be quite a number of scammers on this site doing the old Nigerian lock box scams or trying to get you to send them money upfront for their travel to you. So be careful out there, especially the ads for really young women looking for older guys.

UselessHaving been a member of MatchDoctor for a little while it seems that the site has descended from marginal into completely useless. The owners/moderators do nothing to weed out the spammers and scammers, and daily I get age inappropriate 'messages' from 20 something's with a yahoo addresses attached. The site is chock-a-block filled with Nigerian or Russian scammers and ripoff artists who are continually flagged but site operators do nothing and the same profiles sit there day after day. The problem is so bad that I now thing that it is entirely possible that the site has been actually been 'purchased' by a scammer group for the sole purpose of ripping people off.

text: The general election may seem like a lifetime away for voters, but for newspapers and the main political parties it's 20 months of battletime to win the hearts and minds of the public. So it's time to launch Monkey's Election Watch 2015. And where better to start than the Daily Mail, where the prospect of a victory for Ed Miliband seems worse than the bubonic plague. Even by its own standards, the vitriol in Geoffrey Levy's piece on Saturday seemed to have been turned up a notch. "Man who hated Britain" it said of Ed's father Ralph, prompting an attack on the paper by Miliband who tweeted: "My dad loved Britain, he served in the Royal Navy and I am not prepared to allow his good name to be denigrated in this way." Miliband says the Mail has promised him a riposte in Tuesday's paper. So the Mail has another pop on Monday. "Labour sneers at help for marriage" is the headline on its double-page spread on David Cameron's planned tax breaks for married couples. So there. We know it already. The Daily Mail will not be supporting Ed Miliband. Send your Election Watch 2015 observations to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Perry Groves, former winger who won two league titles at Arsenal
This weekend's game against Manchester United will not make or break Arsenal's challenge for the championship - I think that has already gone. Mathematically, it may not have but if you lose to Fulham, Hull and Stoke you are not going to win the Premier League. Chelsea and Manchester United might lose to one of them over the season, but they won't lose to all three.
I would never criticise Arsène Wenger - his principles and philosophy of how to play football are spot on. But we are in a results-driven business. Sometimes you have to sacrifice your principles a little and, for example, go for someone who is not as gifted on the ball but has the abilities you require in a defender.
You need different ingredients in a title-winning team; strength of character, a willingness to get stuck into the ugly side of the game, resilience and desire. At the moment - and I'm not saying that the players aren't trying - I don't see the steel. Everyone loves Arsenal but that's because we're not winning anything. I would rather we were hated and won things.
Take the 1998 double-winning side which had a midfield of Vieira, Petit, Overmars and Parlour. Emmanuel Petit sat in front of the back four and was a brilliant passer as well as tackling and breaking up play; Marc Overmars provided speed and strength running from the left-hand side; Patrick Vieira was the enforcer who dominated with his physical and mental presence and Ray Parlour gave the team its heartbeat. If you compare that to the current midfield; Nasri, Fabregas and Denilson are all very similar; they all want to get on the ball but none of them closes players down or makes a 50m run.
Defence is the biggest problem. If you look at the other three teams in the top four, they all have a No1 centre-half; at Chelsea it's John Terry, at Manchester United it's Nemanja Vidic; who wins the aerial challenges and blocks players. Then they have a No2, Carvalho and Ferdinand, who drops off and sweeps up. At Arsenal we've always got two No2 centre-halves - you never see them with cuts or broken noses.
But the thing that really worries me is the big huddle on the pitch before the match. That doesn't show people you are a team - the way you galvanise each other to perform on the pitch does that. Against Stoke it was a fallacy - no one was up for the fight or the battle.
I don't want to hark back to my day, but if Tony Adams or Steve Bould were at their peak in this defence, Arsenal wouldn't be letting in the goals and letting slip leads as they did against Tottenham. It's not a question of getting in players with more experience - Silvestre and Gallas have more than 100 caps for France between them - but of getting the right blend of players.
Don Howe, former Arsenal manager
If you lose too many games early in the season then there is too much to do to catch up. That is undeniable. Last season Manchester United, who won the championship, lost only five games; Chelsea, in second, lost only three. Arsenal have lost three games already so you would have to say that if they lose two more the writing will be on the wall.
The team has been inconsistent, certainly in the way they lost the games to Fulham and Hull. However, we have to be careful about exaggerating their problems after the defeat by Stoke. They don't play Stoke every week and won't play them again until the last game of the season. Arsene Wenger knew what he was going to do to counteract Stoke's set pieces before the game but he didn't know how his players would cope. Now he knows that wasn't very well, he can do something about it.
On Saturday Mark Lawrenson highlighted that Arsenal had the same problem dealing with the physical questions posed by Stoke as they have against Bolton over the past four years. But Arsene can't pull a couple of giants out of a hat to slot into defence; and, in any case, putting bigger players into a side does not provide all the answers. Arsenal deal with inswinging corners. Tactically, that means there is no reason they shouldn't be able to deal with long throws. If you haven't got players in defence who are going to deal with a long throw, then you need to get the likes of a big centre-forward such as Emmanuel Adebayor to defend. They have the players to cope with the threat.
I'm amazed to hear people saying that Arsenal should be buying established players in the same manner as Chelsea and Manchester United. The manager has to be his own man to make things work: Arsene is doing it his way, going for younger players, and what people have to accept is that younger players will be inconsistent.
A lot of Arsenal's younger players are also from the continent. And with Delap's long throws, they will have been on the pitch thinking "have they gone mad? What's all this about?" Arsene's job with younger players is to bring them on, make sure they get used to that tactic and get used to it quickly.
It was also obvious that Robin van Persie was frustrated when he challenged the Stoke goalkeeper and got sent off. In the last 20 minutes they really needed their captain. William Gallas would have had the strength of character to keep them calm.
I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Arsenal play the game that they want to against Manchester United this weekend with none of the frustrations they suffered against Stoke. And I would expect Arsene to use the criticism that he and the team have taken over a lack of physicality as a motivating factor in their upcoming games.

Teacher Busted For DWI On Her Way To Work
Police arrested a woman in Humble, Texas, on DWI charges; it happened at 8am on a weekday; and she's a middle-school teacher who was on her way to work when arrested. Police say they pulled over a car driven by 48-year-old Patricia Almond after it began swerving on Highway 59, even grazing a retaining wall. Officers say Almond, who teaches arts and theater in the local school district, emerged with bloodshot eyes and reeking of alcohol. Oh, and another teacher in the same district got busted last week after police found heroin, meth, and stacks of cash in her apartment.

Very Basic
Amber, Scotland
We stayed here for 11 nights in October. When I booked in April I emailed and requested a room on a high floor facing the town (no reply) We got a room below reception facing the back street. Girl at reception not interested in helping. Room (213) very basic and needs updating, small room and not a lot of storage space. Small bathroom with great shower. Kept spotlessly clean with maids in every day. We were room only so can't comment on breakfast and the bar was only open occasionally. The pool was quite small but ok. We would not stay here again which is a shame because it is in a perfect location.

Hotel is set in.the centre of albuferia old town, just away from the crowds. Location was fab. The hotel is basic but very clean. We were room only so not sure about breakfast it looked continental only and again basic. The bar area is nice unfortunately the bar des not open very often nor did it have any atmosphere. Overall we got what we paid for the pool area is poor very little space and certainly not enticing.

Vila Recife - Pleasantly Surprised
Breda, Dublin, Ireland
We have just returned from an 8 day stay in Vila Recife and enjoyed every minute of our stay. Ok so It's an old building, but it has been well kept and it's an authentic Portugese building, if you want a modern hotel there are plenty of them in Albufeira, but Vila Recife is old style which personally I prefer. The view from our apartment was stunning just like a post card. The rooms were cleaned every day with fresh towels provided also on a daily basis. Villa Recife is in a great location, close to the beach and also close to really good restaurants with exceptional food and picturesque views. Price wise villa Recife is exceptional value, we will definitely be returning and and I will be recommending it to friends and family.

Incredible Value For Money
Roisin , Ireland
We just returned from a 5 night stay at Vila Recife. The rooms are basic but functional. The cleaners come round every day and change all towels, make beds etc. There is a fridge in the room, and kettles can be requested at no extra charge. The location is so central to the Old Town and the beach. We would return here in a heartbeat as it was such good value for money. The aircon in our room was really good, and we enjoyed a couple of days by the pool which is a great sun-trap. I wouldn't necessarily come here for a romantic break but for our no frills/hassle free mother/daughter getaway it was perfect.

Good basic hotel in a great location
Loving the Algarve, Sheffield
My husband and I have just returned from Vila Recife. We knew before we arrived not to expect a luxurious hotel but it was actually much nicer than anticipated. It is situated in a prominent position at the top of a hill in the Old Town. We stayed in Room 054 which is on the same floor as the pool in fact you just have to step over the balcony to bag yourself a sun bed. We didn't have any problem with getting a sun bed but they could do with investing in some new ones as they are really dated. Breakfast is continental style, lovely fresh bread rolls with ham and cheese, also cereals and sliced bread to toast. Tea coffee and fruit juice is available. Free wifi is available but only in the bar/breakfast area and outside on the front patio. The hotel is spotlessly clean and all the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel is dated and a little shabby in places but well worth the money paid and we wouldn't hesitate in returning.

Sean Penn

Don Cheadle
Printer-Friendly version
Although the movie is basically Sean Penn's show all the way, he's more than capably assisted by Naomi Watts as Sam's estranged wife, Don Cheadle as his best (and seemingly only) pal, and Jack Thompson as Sam's cold hearted (yet somehow likable) boss. Also keep an eye out for Michael Wincott; he only shows up in one scene, but still makes quite an impression!
The Assassination of Richard Nixon tells a story that you may have heard once or twice before, but it's told again here in crisp and fast-paced detail. (The movie runs barely 93 minutes.) Fans of Mr. Penn will absolutely want to give the movie a shot, and everyone else will most likely get sucked right into Sam Bicke's plight, too. It might have happened way back in 1975, but Sam's story is still pretty topical today.
* Please note that the DVD I'm working from is the Canadian release from MGM. The U.S. release (courtesy of New Line) switches out the French audio track for a commentary with writer/director Niels Mueller.

Last season, tight ends in the NFL took on a much more significant role in offenses around the league. In the past, there were always a handful of elite tight ends, with a huge drop off into the second tier. Outside of guys like Tony Gonzalez, Jason Witten and Antonio Gates – the yearly producers – the tight end position has annually been a wasteland for consistent pass-catching production.
But in 2011, things changed.
A number of young, athletic tight ends broke onto the scene, dominating opposing defenses, which had no answer for this dynamic group of playmakers.
In 2010, tight ends caught 198 touchdowns. That number rose to an amazing 578 touchdowns in 2011, impacting the outcome of NFL games week in and week out. In the blink of an eye, the tight end has become as much of a weapon as the wide receiver, and even more so for teams like the New England Patriots.
TE Jermichael Finley
Jeff Hanisch/US Presswire
The Pats last year lacked a competitive group of wideouts, so they relied on the two-headed attack of Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowksi, riding these two workhorses all the way to the Super Bowl.
Gronkowski was especially dominant. He's an athletic freak who blends size (6-6, 265), speed, quickness and hands. At times he was nearly impossible to cover. He ended 2011 with 90 receptions – a feat accomplished only by five previous NFL tight ends – for 1,327 yards and 17 TDs, both NFL records for tight ends.
In the NFC, the Saints' Jimmy Graham was just as overwhelming, compiling 99 catches for 1,310 yards and eight touchdowns. And in the NFC North, each team will be relying heavily on their tight ends this year.
Minnesota has second-year player Kyle Rudolph, another young playmaker, and signed veteran John Carlson this offseason, giving quarterback Christian Ponder dual options over the middle. Detroit boasts two talented pass catchers in Tony Scheffler and Brandon Pettigrew, while the Packers will again utilize the many talents of Jermichael Finley.
The Chicago Bears, under new coordinator Mike Tice, will also be relying heavily on the tight end position this year and could potentially keep four on the roster.
The goal for the Bears on defense is to find a player that can line up across from these playmaking tight ends and limit their production in the passing game. If last season proved anything, Chicago's defense can be dismantled by a top-tier tight end.
For much of 2011, the Bears struggled to stop opposing tight ends. Witness: Week 1, Tony Gonzalez, 5 REC, 72 YDS; Week 2, Jimmy Graham, 6 REC, 79 YDS; Week 3, Jermichael Finley, 7 REC, 84 YDS, 3 TD; Week 9, Brent Celek, 7 REC, 60 YDS; Week 11, Antonio Gates, 4 REC, 63 YDS, 1 TD.
The NFL is a copycat league and many teams this year will be following in the footsteps of New England, utilizing tight ends in the passing game more than ever. This means the Bears need to figure out a way to reduce the impact of opposing tight ends.
This could come in the form of a schematic change – although the Bears, who run one of the more simplified systems in the NFL, are unlikely to overhaul their bread and butter defense. More likely, the club will need to find a defensive player with the same combination of size, speed, strength and athleticism as these new tight ends.
Last year, Chicago's coaches tried out a number of different players in that role – Nick Roach, Craig Steltz, Major Wright, Chris Conte – yet none appeared to have the necessary requirements, both physically and in coverage ability, to keep pace. Yet it's possible they may have found that player in this year's draft.
S Brandon Hardin
Jerry Lai/US Presswire
Brandon Hardin, the team's third-round selection, played cornerback in college. He's currently in the process of transitioning to safety with the Bears. Hardin is built like a brick wall, so he clearly has the strength to match today's tight ends. At his pro day before the draft this year, Hardin ran in the reported 4.5 range. When you combine that type of speed with a player of Hardin's size (6-3, 222) you get a defender with all the physical tools to be successful in man coverage against the NFL's big-bodied pass catchers. On top of that, Hardin has experience covering collegiate wideouts man to man, which should translate well to the next level.
When you add it all up, Hardin has the makings of a tight end stopper. Unfortunately, he's learning a new position and could go through some severe growing pains this season. So far this offseason, Hardin has shown a clear lack of experience at safety, especially in zone coverage, which could make Chicago's coaches leery of using him on game days.
Yet down the line, if Hardin can fully grasp his new position, there's no reason he can't face up on these new tight ends and limit their production.
Another possibility on Chicago's roster is linebacker Dom DeCicco, a former collegiate strong safety. DeCicco has the right size (6-4, 230) as well as outstanding athleticism and man-cover experience. He isn't a burner but his quickness and strength should help make up for his speed.
Like Hardin, DeCicco is still learning a new position, so it's unlikely he'll be ready to contribute this year. Going forward though, both players are poised to potentially fill that role of the all-important tight end stopper.
For this season though, the Bears must have a game plan to slow down the numerous top-tier tight ends they'll face in 2012. Without a player ready to man up on these pass catchers, it might be wise to roll coverage over the top, although that strategy leaves the cornerbacks on an island.
It's still unclear what the answer is but if the Bears don't figure it out, they'll again get carved up by this new breed of tight ends.

Detectives are investigating an allegation of postal vote fraud in Tower Hamlets.
Scotland Yard said it had been called in on May 10 after claims of fraud in Rifle Street, Langdon Park.
No arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing.
The development comes just days after two people were arrested in Tower Hamlets and Enfield amid allegations of false declarations on nomination papers.
Two Conservative candidates were suspended from their party after the arrests, and both suspects were released on bail until June.
Electoral returning officers from both boroughs were informed.
It is understood that the date has already passed for taking names off ballot papers ahead of next week's elections.
Elections in Tower Hamlets were plagued by allegations of vote fraud in 2010, when the controversial directly-elected Mayor, Lutfur Rahman, came to power.
A by-election in 2012 was also overshadowed by claims of malpractice.
Police confirmed in March that they had launched an investigation into electoral fraud after bogus canvassers were allegedly spotted canvassing for the borough's Mayor, Lutfur Rahman.
The council is currently under investigation after the Communities Secretary, Eric Pickles, sent in auditors to probe Mr Rahman's spending decisions. The Mayor has always denied any wrongdoing.Reuse content
