Last weekend a couple of couchsurfers from the USA stayed with me. When they're not surfing from sofa to sofa they live in Leipzig in Germany and one of them speaks German fluently. When she discovered that I also speak German, we started chatting in German. Even after many years of neglect my German is still there, although I often flail around for words and my grammatical knowledge is rusty. I learnt some interesting expressions, including:
- Schnick, Schnack, Schnuck = Rock-paper-scissors (game)
- (der) Streber = geek, nerd
- streberhaft = geekiness, nerdiness
- (die) Kneipe = pub
- innerer Schweinehund = one's weaker self; inner temptation; procrastination
According to Wikipedia the game rock, paper, scissors is also known as Schere, Stein, Papier; Ching, Chang, Chong; Klick, Klack, Kluck; Stein schleift Schere; Schnibbeln, Knobeln oder Schniekern in German. Apparently alternative names for this game in English include roshambo, Paper-Scissors-Stone and ick-ack-ock – have you heard of these?
The game originally comes from China and was first mentioned in a book by 谢肇淛 (Xie Zhaozhi) during the Ming Dynasty (c. 1600), who said that game dates back to the Han Dynasty (206 BC – 220 AD) and calls it 手势令 (shoushiling) or "hand command".
What do you call this game?

One word....YUM!!! This place is amazing.
My favorite bakery!!! Try the almond cookies!
Amazing bakery! So many delicious options and all gluten free! We will be returning - often.
Everything in the bakery is dairy/gluten free and delicious.
Recently had to go GF for health reasons. This place was such a great find!! Very reasonable prices too!! I tried the brownies, almond cookies and coconut pecan clusters. So excited to find a completely gluten free bakery in the Rivertowns. Will definitely be back!!!
I've served the sour cherry coffee cake to guests and they had no idea it was gluten and lactose free.
Absolutely delicious! Bought the lemon tea cake (so insanely good) brownie (really chewy and yummy) almond cookie (yummy) red velvet cupcake (good) and chocolate chip cookies (we bought 2, ate them outside and then went back in for 2 more. Need I say they were amazing?) love this place and will definitely be back!
Great goods but one of the managers, I can't remember how to spell her name, but it starts with an M, isn't very pleasant.
Great GF bakery! I love the tea loaves and brownies the most. It is pricey and small, so there is not that much variety later in the day and if there are people behind you in line it's rushed service. But that's okay because GF goodies that taste this great are worth it! Call ahead or go early if you really want a particular treat.
Always delicious! the cakes, muffins, granola and cookies are so good even my pickiest non gf friends and family members love them. Their lemon cake won best of Westchester a couple years back! I can't say enough about this place! Go enjoy gf baked good bliss @ btw.
everything is delicious and fresh but she is very pricey
what a find!! absolutely delicious gf goodies!!!!!
Amazing linzer tarts and just about the best gf choc chip cookie I've ever had. Owner is really friendly and takes pride in her craft. I live in Brooklyn (easily an hour and a half drive away) and will return for sure! Highly recommended
BTW Bakery is honestly the best bakery, not even gluten free. I go to them once a week now and they know me and my mom very well. Both of the women there are so friendly and helpful. We got cupcakes for my sister-in-laws baby shower and everyone could not believe that they were gluten free! This place is such a life saver, I missed cupcakes the most when I found out I had celiac, now I don't have to feel like i am missing out on anything. They are so moist, and light. I really do not know how they can make such good pastries with no gluten and dairy free! You have got to check this place out!!!!!
You would NEVER know these cakes and cookies are GF

Claire Messud's new novel, The Burning Girl, feels somehow different from anything she's done before...
Condition: Standard
All Product Details
He begins by haunting the gritty corner of a Greenwich Village park where pickup Scrabble games can be found whenever weather permits. His curiosity soon morphs into compulsion, as he sets about memorizing thousands of obscure words and fills his evenings with solo Scrabble played on his living room floor. Before long he finds himself at tournaments socializing and competing with Scrabble's elite. But this book is about more than hardcore Scrabblers, for the game yields insights into realms as disparate as linguistics, psychology, and mathematics. Word Freak extends its reach even further, pondering the light Scrabble throws on such notions as brilliance, memory, competition, failure, and hope. It is a geography of obsession that celebrates the uncanny powers locked in all of us.
A Book Sense 76 pick.
Word Freak tells the story of how the Scrabble game was invented by an unemployed architect during the Great Depression and how it grew into the hugely successful, challenging, and beloved game it is today. Along the way, Fatsis chronicles his own obsession with the game and his development as a player from novice to expert. More than a book about hardcore SCRABBLE players, WORD FREAK is also an examination of notions of brilliance, memory, language, competition, and the mind that celebrates the uncanny creative powers in us all.

There are rumours that Microsoft is interested in the Canadian firm after Google said it was considering making its own mobile phone operating system.
However neither firm has commented on the speculation.
RIM's shares ended up 1% at C$87.71 ($82.94; £41.18) on Thursday, having hit a record C$89.68.
However observers have questioned whether Microsoft buying RIM would make sense - not least because the firm's C$50bn valuation means it would not prove cost-effective.
What are these?

Jenson Button kept calm amid the chaos of the crash-marred Belgian Grand Prix on Sunday to record his second win of the season, while championship frontrunner Fernando Alonso saw his overall lead trimmed after being sent flying off the track following Romain Grosjean's reckless driving.
It was Button's first victory at Spa and the 14th of the British driver's career -- and probably one of the easiest as he led from start to finish, oblivious to the mayhem behind him.
"This is such a special circuit, so to get a victory here from light to flag is very special," Button said. "It hasn't been an easy year for me. We're going to enjoy this for a little while longer before we head to Monza and hopefully do the same."
Button triumphantly zigzagged across the track as he approached the finish line and then clapped his hands together in celebration. He then stood on his McLaren and leaned his head back as he clenched both fists.
"The car felt very good to drive and I could control the degradation of the tyres. It's always easier to do that when you're leading," said Button, who climbed to sixth place overall. "It's a massive long shot to win the title, but today proves that you can claw back 25 points very quickly. There's still 63 points to make up, but anything's possible."
Alonso, who is chasing his third F1 title, was relieved not to be badly hurt.
"You can have an injury in your hand or your head with a crash like that, so I am lucky in that aspect," Alonso said. "I felt a train coming with a big, big hit."
Defending champion Sebastian Vettel benefited from the mayhem to finish second and cut Alonso's lead to 24 points -- putting the two-time champion right back in contention.
"I was reasonably confident because I know anything can happen here and you can overtake," Vettel said.
Kimi Raikkonen was third, continuing the consistent form he's shown all season long with his third straight podium and sixth overall.
"My car was not the nicest to drive the whole race," Raikkonen said. "I was fighting to get the best out of it and we managed to get some key points, so that was the main thing."
The crash also took out Mexican driver Sergio Perez, and Grosjean -- who was given a one-race ban for dangerous driving and will miss the Sept. 9 race in Monza, Italy.
Grosjean went for a small gap and clipped Hamilton's McLaren. That sent both cars spinning and led to Grosjean's Lotus flying over Alonso's Ferrari, which then took out Perez's Sauber. All four drivers escaped injury.
A visibly frustrated Hamilton briefly confronted Grosjean after the incident and tapped the side of his own helmet with his finger after getting out of his car.
Following a miserable day's qualifying on Saturday, Vettel was relieved to get on the podium after starting from 10th on the grid.
"It was a crazy race, after the first corner where a few cars went off," the German driver said. "The car was quite good in the race and we were able to pick up some pace. It was a fantastic race, great to come second."
Nico Hulkenberg was fourth for Force India, ahead of Ferrari's Felipe Massa in fifth and Red Bull's Mark Webber, who had started from 12th because of a gearbox penalty.
Alonso, who had picked up points in every race this season, was lucky to escape serious injury as Grosjean's Lotus went over his car and narrowly missed the Spaniard's head.
Button was not affected by the crash and maintained his lead as the safety car went out onto the track and piles of smashed car parts were cleared.
A veteran of 222 races, Button shrugged off the incident. He was seven seconds clear of Hulkenberg after 12 laps.
Michael Schumacher, chasing his second podium position of the season in his 300th career Grand Prix, drove aggressively on the Spa circuit where he made his F1 debut 21 years ago. The 43-year-old German stormed into second after 15 laps, with Vettel climbing to third as they pushed their soft tyres to the limit.
Schumacher proved to be a bit too aggressive, however.
He almost careered into Vettel at the Bus Stop chicane as he cut across him going into the pits for a tyre change. Schumacher, who finished seventh, faced a stewards' inquiry for the risky move.
Vettel said it was a moment of confusion and that Schumacher should not be punished.
It was nervous in the pit lanes, too, as Heikki Kovalainen's Caterham was released too quickly and clipped an HRT entering the pit lane for a tyre change.
Button came in on lap 22 for his only stop, and still had a comfortable lead of 13 seconds on Vettel coming out.
McLaren sounded supremely confident that the one-stop strategy would carry Button all the way, saying "Plan A is good" over the race radio and that he was "pulling away" from Raikkonen.
With two laps remaining, Lotus then asked Raikkonen to step up the pace just to make sure of third place, to which the Finnish driver retorted bluntly, saying "well, give me more power then."

Stockton, Calif. - Fresh off their first loss of the season, the Quakers rebounded nicely with a tough 4-3 victory over Pacific on Tuesday in California.
Penn led off the match by capturing the always important doubles point by winning at No. 1 and No. 2 doubles. The freshmen duo of Zach Katz and Ivan Turudic earned a win at No. 1, 8-4, and the team of senior captain Hicham Laalej and Phil Law got the 8-5 win at No. 2.
In singles, the Quakers lost at No. 2 and No. 4 in straight sets, but junior Jason Lin came away with a victory at No. 5 to keep the overall score tied at 2-2. The Red and Blue fell behind 3-2 on a loss by Law at No. 3, but Laalej fought off defeat with a 6-2, 3-6, 6-2 win at No. 1 singles.
With the match tied at 3-3 it came down to No. 6 singles and sophomore Jason Magnes. Magnes struggled in the first set, losing 6-1, but he came back to take the second 6-4. In the third and final set, Magnes broke serve and pulled out the 6-4 victory to propel Penn to the win.
The Red and Blue improve their record to 9-1 on the season. The Quakers' match against Pacific was canceled due to inclement weather and Penn continues its run of tough teams, facing No. 64 St. John's on Friday, March 18 at the National Tennis Center.

« Previous · Tax Update Blog Home · Next »
As if somebody shook up a bottle of Nehi and lifted his thumb, spraying goo all over everyone, the idea of a "sin tax" on pop is suddenly all over the place. The TaxProf reports that a bunch of busybody doctors want to tax pop (called "soda" in some remote areas) as an alleged public health measure. Kay Bell is also on the story.
The Tax Policy Blog says that if we are going to have the government be a busybody for public health, we might as well go whole hog:
Based on these supposed market failures, I'd like to pose this question to the authors: If government had perfect information, would you support a tax on out-of-wedlock sexual behavior? And if we can't do that for administrative purposes, couldn't we impose a significant tax on nightclubs and bars as a second best scenario (kind of like how the authors of this report suggest an imperfect soda tax to fight obesity-related market failures)?
If they go for the sex tax, we know just the man to draft the recordkeeping requirements.
The Tax Update doesn't drink pop. It does enjoy a healthy, sugar-free bottle of water on the road, the way some people drink pop. Many government busybodies think drinking water out of a convenient reclosable bottle bought at Walgreens is the epitome of environmental irresponsibility, and Chicago has slapped us world-destroyers with a 10-cent per bottle tax. Sugar-free or sugar-laden, they find a way to tax it -- for our own good, of course. Which makes it look as though Peter Pappas has it about right:
But let's not kid ourselves. This isn't about about health. It's about finding a politically palatable way to fund state budget shortfalls and Obama's irresponsible spending sprees.
Update: I Left My Soda Tax in San Francisco.
Bookmark: del.icio.us • Digg • reddit
Does anyone miss the Marlboro man riding around on television chasing those doggies! Just ban the Soda-pop companies from advertising on television- like they did the tobacco companies! Take all of those ad dollars that Coke, Pepsi and others spend and apply it to reduce the cost of health care reform! Come one, this isn't rocket science?! Does it really matter which pocket that we take the money out of from Coke & Pepsi?!

Yes!!! Feels like some rear-ended you - exactly! You hear the engine spin-up a bit, then whomp! I'll check into that mechatronic reset procedure described. I had found some references (Google) to the software/code-updates that were possible, but wasn't sure if I wanted to take it to a dealership yet and have them squeeze money out of me. Is there a way to get it to tell you what "version" of code you're on?
I did buy the Bentley publishers service manual for the car, so it's got a lot of info to tell me where to look for all of this stuff. It's quite a machine!
I don't mind working on cars myself. I've got about 20 years of working on aircooled vw's under my belt. Obviously not the same as working on an X5, but.....

Barry Diller's upstart Aereo service, which lets paying customers record and watch over-the-air television stations online, could destroy the economic model behind television, an NBC-Universal exec said in a court filing.
Aereo is being sued by all of the major television broadcasters in federal court in New York, where the service was launched. In a sworn declaration, NBC-Universal executive vice president for content distribution Matt Bond said Aereo could alter how cable and satellite companies handle traditional TV stations. He said Aereo could let the companies pull TV stations off antennae and no longer need to retransmit them from a central location — the practice that allows TV stations to charge retransmission consent fees.
Aereo could kill TV business model, broadcasters say

Vanessa Barbara
© Nino Andrés
Vanessa Barbara was born in São Paulo in 1982 and is a journalist, translator, and writer. She also edits the literary website A Hortaliça (www.hortifruti.org) and is a columnist for the national daily newspaper Estado de S. Paulo. In 2012, she was selected as one of the twenty new promising authors in Brazilian literature by Granta magazine. She has won the national Jabuti prize for journalism and the Prémio Paraná de Literatura in the category unedited novel with Operação impensável. She has a monthly column in the New York Times: topics.nytimes.com.
O louco de palestra ("The Lecture-Hall Lunatic") is a brilliant collection of Vanessa Barbara's most entertaining chronicles about her neighbourhood in São Paulo, its unique inhabitants and their charming habits, together with her astute observations of contemporary urban life around the world. With her singularly insightful way of writing, full of humour and irony, her stories irresistibly draw the readers in, no matter where they're from.
The chronicles were originally published in leading newspapers and magazines like Folha de S. Paulo and O Estado de S. Paulo.
A creative eye.
A young author who writes like one of the greats.
Gazeta do Povo Curitiba
Chock full of highly entertaining characters all trying to hide a secret, Noites de Alface ("Lettuce Nights") captures village life at its most vivid.
When Otto's wife Ada dies after fifty years of marriage, he finds his quiet life disrupted by his neighbours' intrusions: a pharmacist addicted to investigating side effects, a young anthropologist who watches her favourite Eskimo video each night, and a singing mailman who keeps getting his addressees mixed up. As Otto starts gathering evidence of an obscure incident in which Ada appears to have been involved, not even her recipe for lettuce tea helps him sleep.
Subtly creating bizarre situations, Vanessa Barbara immediately transports the reader into a world he will be loath to leave.
A woman of style.
Marie-Claire Brazil
Noites de Alface has humour with substance.
Folha de S. Paulo
Bizarre, ambiguous, absurd - and with a hint of magic realism. The village of the novel lies in a kind of land of milk and honey for good stories, in close neighbourhood to Fargo by Joel and Ethan Coen.
In the four-handed novel O verão do Chibo ("The Summer of Chibo"), a boy no more than seven years old, immersed in a very singular universe, describes his adventures during his summer vacation in the middle of a corn field in the company of his friends. But this is a different summer. Because Chibo, his older brother, mysteriously disappears, and all the other boys seem to do the same.
This is a subtle work, often humorous, other times touching, about the mysteries that surround growing up. It was a finalist in the Prêmio São Paulo de Literatura.
A little gem about the mysteries that surround becoming a grown-up.
O Estado de S. Paulo
Another world in miniature, with lyricism and absurdity to match the fantasies and traumas of childhood.

Leisa Townsley and

Penn State University
The Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS) is a CCD camera that operates in photon-counting mode to record both spatial and spectral information from celestial X-rays. Each photon that is stopped by photoabsorption produces a cloud of secondary electrons; this charge cloud is pixelized and recorded as an ``event'' with well-defined characteristics, including position, amplitude, and a measure of its spatial concentration (``grade'').
We have developed a Monte Carlo CCD simulator for use in characterizing and calibrating the X-ray CCD detectors in the ACIS instrument on the Chandra X-ray Observatory. It contains machinery for simulating all typical kinds of X-ray CCDs: bulk front-illuminated, epitaxial front-illuminated, and back-illuminated.
The work discussed here was conducted by Leisa
Townsley and Patrick
(with help from several others) to support their involvement in the
of ACIS data. This work is NOT an official product of the
ACIS Team
and has NOT been endorsed by the ACIS Team or the Chandra X-ray Center
Our Monte Carlo simulations are used to augment ACIS calibration data; once the simulator is tuned to reproduce monochromatic calibration data, it can be used to predict the instrument's spectral response at energies unavailable in the laboratory. This ability is used to generate the ACIS response matrix, the mathematical representation of the ACIS spectral redistribution function. The tool can also be used to simulate photon pile-up, which can occur when bright sources are observed. It also incorporates a model for charge transfer inefficiency (CTI), a phenomenon that spectrally and spatially degrades events from ACIS detectors.
The basic aspects of the data that we are attempting to reproduce are the detected CCD event spectrum, the quantum efficiency, and the event grade distribution (branching ratios) resulting from a monochromatic incident X-ray flux. The current model relies on new solutions of the diffusion equation to predict the radial charge cloud distribution in field-free regions of CCDs (Pavlov and Nousek 1999, "Charge Diffusion in CCD X-ray Detectors," Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research A, 428, 348). By adjusting the size of the charge clouds, we can attempt to reproduce the grade distribution seen in ACIS calibration data event lists. We have built into our code a model for channel stops and an interpretation of the MIT/ACIS group's model for the insulating layer under the gate structure (Prigozhin et al. 2000, "The Physics of the Low Energy Tail in the ACIS CCD. The Spectral Redistribution Function," Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research A, 439, 582). These components are necessary to explain subtle redistribution features in the spectra.
Three papers have been published describing our work. You can get to these from ADS if you are careful to check the Physics box in "Databases to query" at the top of the page.

CCD simulation code and a CTI correction tool (both in the IDL language) are provided in the hope that they may assist other investigators interested in simulating ACIS devices or other X-ray CCDs.
You must have IDL and Wayne Landsman's IDL Astro Library .Choose a directory to hold our software and arrange for it to be in your IDL path. The procedure for doing this may depend on how your IDL site is administered. If you have a personal IDL startup file you could put a statement similar to this in it:
!PATH = '+/home/townsley/idl/acis:' + !PATH
Download two compressed tarballs to the directory you've chosen, one containing our TARA software and one containing the CCD simulator, then expand the tarballs, e.g.
tar -xzvf
tar -xzvf ccdsim2008nov18.tar.gz
The most straightforward way to run the CCD simulator is to supply it with X-ray photons generated by MARX. For example
.run detect_marx_rays
InitializeDomainDataset, GUI_ACTIVE=0, /UNDEFINE_PROPERTIES, VERBOSE=0
detect_marx_rays, 'marx', 'sim', 3, 50, TSTART=279591231.8, TEMPERATURE=-120, /WRITE_EVENTS
In this example, a MARX simulation of a source on CCD 3 previously created in the directory 'marx' is passed through the CCD simulator and an event list is written to the directory 'sim'. CTI levels appropriate for the specified mission time and the nominal -120C temperature are included in the simulation, and the resulting events are then passed through the Penn State CTI corrector. For efficiency, only a 50x50 pixel region of the CCD around the source is actually simulated.

The best candidate for a Brazilian Butt lift are patients that have a fair amount of fat in the abdomen hips waist and lower back and who can commit to the postoperative recovery afterwards. During this procedure you will receive aggressive like a suction to these areas. A thin waist and tight abdomen will look especially beautiful with a curvy bottom. At this stage the best thing to do is to consult the plastic surgeon who has a great deal of experience with this technique. Keep in mind that this is one surgery and plastic surgery that is very technique and certain dependent. Be sure that your surgeon has great deal of experience with this and then you see many patient photographs before embarking. Are patients also enjoy talking to our previous patients who have had the surgery done. During your consultation, the plastic surgeon should use digital morphing software to transform your photographs and give you an idea of what you could look like. In our practice, this is then an essential communication and education tool with our patients.
For more information on Brazilian butt lifts or butt augmentation, please schedule an iConsult or visit us online at the link below:

Here's the thing: if the batter is made with oil (like many quick breads), then using unbleached AP will make it tougher and more domed, but won't have other problems. If the batter is made with softened butter (in this case, the base is a classic butter cake), then it's possible that you'll also get a dip in the middle and a layer of sunken, rubbery butter at the bottom of the cake. So, bigger problems with the butter cake.
There are ways to use the unbleached flour, but they are more work. Search Kate Flour (heat treated to solve the butter issue, then cut with cornstarch) and The Power of Flour (substitute potato starch for a portion of the flour and adjust the leavening) over on the blog.
Whichever option you take, please report back on your results!
Good luck!
Thank you for this information Julie. I guess I should stick to the flour the author of the recipe recommends. The reason I wanted the measurements of AP flour in Rose's recipe is because Rose offers its use an option in the recipe.
The recipe I bake the most is the banana bread in Peter Reinhardt's Crust And Crumb
The top never sinks nor does it get a rubbery band. It is made by creaming the butter and sugar, which become cloud-like after 2 minutes of beating.

Check your SA's under Diagnostics -> IPsec. I'm curious if you're
getting duplicates like I was with the new IPsec prefer newer patch.
Are they all doing this, or just one/some of them?
The latest beta seems to be pickier about mismatched settings. I have
a VPN to a Cisco PIX that was fine for 5 months and immediately
started dropping left and right after upgrading to 1.2b1. Changing a
mismatched timeout fixed it, though some issues still remain. (it
stays up though, it's not a problem, just something I need to figure
The thread "1.2b1 IPsec SA issues" on this page has some good info
from Fred Wright.

Cute Kid Alert! Pregnant Kourtney Kardashian & Little Mason Fly Out of LAX (PHOTOS)
Kourtney Kardashian and Mason Disick were spotted on a jetset adventure as the two departed from LAX early Saturday. Kourt, who is currently pregnant with her second child, stayed chic with dark shades and a white blazer while her son showed off his sporty side in a baseball cap and bright red tracksuit.
Although she doesn't look it, the fashionista mama celebrated her 33rd birthday earlier this week. Kourtney's mom, Kris Jenner, wished her eldest daughter a happy birthday on her blog. She wrote:
Happy birthday Kourtney.
You are such an amazing daughter and I am so proud of the woman you have become… You have given me such incredible joy over the last 33 years and I can hardly believe you aren't a little girl anymore!!!
I watch you with your own baby and you never cease to amaze me! You are the best mommy in the world! I adore you, Kourtney, and I hope you have a fabulous birthday today!!
And what a mom Kourtney has become — she is set to welcome a baby girl with partner Soctt Disick later this year. For more on Kourt's pregnancy, watch the video below!

Clean clogged sprinklers
If you have a lot of iron or other minerals in your water, then you know the problem. Iron builds up on the working parts and in the holes of sprinklers. Impact sprinklers like the one here can quit working altogether. A simple soaking in a rust-removing solution followed by a spritz of silicone lubricant will rejuvenate your sprinkler. We used CLR Calcium, Lime and Rust Remover, but other rust-removing solutions will also work. Soak the sprinkler for about 30 minutes (Photo 1). Then remove the sprinkler and clean off any remaining mineral or rust buildup with a brass-bristle brush.

Stabbing turns out to be domestic squabble
By FAITH HUFFMAN | News-Telegram News Editor
Sept 5, 2007 - What was reported Aug. 26 as a roadside robbery and stabbing has been determined to be an alcohol-related assault between a man and wife following an in-depth investigation.
�We want residents of the Dike area to be able to rest easier on the knowledge there is no robbery suspect out there,� Andy Chester, chief investigator for Hopkins County Sheriff�s Office, said Wednesday morning. �We found no evidence to support a robbery or an assault outside the residence.�
The victim told sheriff's Cpl. Brad Horton and Deputy Tanner Crump that a Hispanic male had attempted to rob him on the side of the road early in the morning on Aug. 26.
Officers were called to the residence on FM 69 north of Dike between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. that morning when the man's wife called to report a stabbing. Deputies and emergency responders discovered the man on the bathroom floor where he "almost bled to death." The man was taken to the hospital for a stab wound in his lower torso.
The deputies contacted Chester, who along with HCSO Chief Deputy Rickey Morgan, also responded at the location. The officers searched the road where the robbery had reportedly occurred, finding no evidence of a scuffle. They also searched outside the house, again finding no evidence. Chester went back the next day to again search the road further, still finding nothing.
Inside the house, however, they found evidence of a disturbance. After furtherr investigation, the officers learned that the victim and his wife, who had been drinking alcohol, were involved in an argument which escalated to the point that the woman stabbed him.
�The patient said it was possibly an accidental stabbing,� Chester said. �It doesn�t look like an accident.�
Chester said the state is filing aggravated assault report, but the man has chosen not to pursue charges.
�I believe he was probably just trying to protect his wife,� Chester said. �Only after a few days when we confronted him with it did he admit to what happened.�
The man's wife has a history of family violence in Hopkins County dating back to the later 1990s, although there had been no reports for several years, the investigator said.
The stabbing is believed to have occurred about 1 a.m. Aug. 26. Later in the morning, the woman apparently offered her husband assistance for his injury, but he refused her help. When she checked him again between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m., he was on the bathroom floor in serious need of medical attention. She contacted emergency dispatchers.
Chester said the woman was apparently intoxicated at the time of the stabbing.
�The state she was in, we�re not sure the suspect even was aware she had injured him,� Chester said.
The victim remained in intensive care at the hospital for several days, but has since been released. He and his wife are "working out there problems" for which they have sought professional help, Chester reports.
The woman's name was not released as no arrest has been made in the case.

Lahore, Jan 16: Pakistan"s prolific batsman Younis Khan is likely to lead his national side against Zimbabwe in the forthcoming ODI series, as skipper Shoaib Malik has still not fully recovered from his ankle injury.
Malik, who yesterday attended the first day of the short training camp at the Gaddafi Stadium, was seen having a bandage on his left ankle which has been giving him trouble since the first Test against India in November. Malik said that he might consider opting out of the team if the injury didn"t heal completely.
" I will only play if I"m 100 per cent fit. If not, I may prefer leaving the series against Zimbabwe. It does not seem fair for a half-fit player to play for his country. I have started gym training, running and cycling but will ultimately be following doctor"s advice about whether I should resume playing in the series against Zimbabwe," the Dawn quoted him as saying while speaking to reporters.
Without commenting on the exclusion of Shoaib Akhtar and Umar Gul, he praised the other two fast bowlers Sohail Tanvir and Rao Iftikhar, saying,
"Both Sohail and Rao are improving day by day and hopefully they will help the team beat Zimbabwe."

The Whitecaps began playing in 1994, but the journey to bring them here began 10 years before that.
There have been many changes to the Whitecaps over the years. Changes to the park, the menu, coaching staff, and more.
It was exciting to see the Whitecaps become a Detroit Tigers affiliate in 1997. Since then we've seen Detroit Tigers players make stops in Grand Rapids and we've watched Whitecaps players move up the ladder to join the Detroit Tigers.
There have been championship seasons and dramatic wins all along the way too, but you can't talk about the Whitecaps without talking about hot dogs, drinks, bacos, entertainment, and more.
Here's a few of my memories of the Whitecaps.
This is the first pitch from Star Wars night at Fifth Third Ballpark last year. My 5-year-old and I got close to Darth Vader later, but not too close. Darth Vader is tall and a bit scarier in real life than he is on TV.

Product Description
"Laphroaig 10 Year Old is an all-malt Scotch Whisky from the remote island of Islay in the Western Isles of Scotland. Laphroaig, pronounced 'La-froyg', is a Gaelic word meaning 'the beautiful hollow by the broad bay'. In making Laphroaig, malted barley is dried over a peat fire. The smoke from this peat, found only on Islay, gives Laphroaig its particularly rich flavour. Laphroaig is best savoured neat, or with a little cool water. Roll it around on your tongue. Release the pungent, earthy aroma of blue peat smoke, the sweet nuttiness of the barley, the delicate heathery perfume of Islay's streams. It is as unique as the island itself." 43% ABV.

If you haven't experienced one of Eric Whitacre's magical compositions then you have been missing out, and I'd love to rectify that! When I discovered that he gave a talk at TED I knew I had to share it with you.
His compositions are ethereal and exquisite. I've long been a fan of his work, so it brings me great joy to share his talk with you and maybe introduce you to his work!
I'm not going to steal the video's thunder because Eric explains how he got started as a composer and conductor, and how he came up with the idea of creating a virtual choir. You'll see clips from how it all began to create Lux Aurumque, see a clip of the finished version of it, and get a clip of his latest effort of virtual choir with Sleep.
If you would like to you can see his first foray into establishing a virtual choir here with Lux Aurumque [1]. You can see the full version of Sleep here [2] which has over 2,000 voices creating a virtual choir. And if you are as entranced as I am, you can check out other videos and compositions by Eric Whitacre by following the links in the video description or using the play lists on the right side of the page.

Superman in Shadows on New Poster for Zack Snyder's 'Man of Steel'
by Ethan Anderton
July 14, 2012
Source: Facebook
So far only a first look photo and a dark logo for Man of Steel have been revealed, but hot on the heels of some stunning footage from Zack Snyder's new take on The Big Blue Boy Scout (check out our video blog for our reaction), the first official teaser poster for the film has finally surfaced. This poster was handed out at Comic-Con and signed by Snyder and Superman himself, Henry Cavill, but you'll just have to settle for the poster on its own. It's got Superman in some film noir style lighting, and it echoes the surprising subtlety from the footage shown at Comic-Con that we're not used to seeing from a Zack Synder film. Look!
Here's the first teaser poster for Zack Snyder's Man of Steel from the film's Facebook page:
In Zack Snyder's Superman, Henry Cavill plays the new Clark Kent, who goes toe-to-toe with General Zod, played by Michael Shannon. The main cast also includes Amy Adams as Lois Lane, and Diane Lane & Kevin Costner as Martha & Jonathan Kent and even Russell Crowe as Jor-El. Charles Roven, Emma Thomas, Christoper Nolan and Deborah Snyder are producing. The screenplay was written by David S. Goyer, based on a story by Goyer and Nolan. Man of Steel is now scheduled for release next summer June 14th, 2013.

Wonderful cruise: Celebrity Silhouette Cruise Review by BigLil
Overall Member Rating
Wonderful cruise
Destination: Other
Embarkation: Venice
Crew very welcoming and helpful. Slight delay in getting to our cabins but that's normal on change-over day.
I was worried about our cabin as it was advertised as having a lifeboat partially restricting the view but I was pleased to see it wasn't a problem.
First night show with acrobats was very good. In fact all shows by the ship's singers and dancers were excellent. Guest entertainers were not so good. Each one appeared in 2 different shows. Celebrity believe in getting their money's worth.
Cruise Director, Alejandro, and staff were very good. The Captain even took part in some hilarious evening activities and the officers were very visible on most evenings.
The sail out of Venice was, as always, spectacular and all of the destinations More were wonderful. I especially enjoyed sailing into Valletta Grand Harbour and was surprised by the beautiful sail into Kotor. It was like sailing up a fjiord. Split's history and beauty was a real surprise too.
The quality of the food in the restaurant was very good but I would advise going for the second seating as the tours can be long and don't give enough time for getting ready. We would have missed part of the sail out of Venice if we were on early seating. Less
Published 08/05/13
Cabin review: 2C6159 Deluxe Veranda (partially obstructed view)
Cabin 6159 is advertised as having a restricted view due to a lifeboat being directly underneath. This was not a problem as we hardly noticed it at all. Bathroom seemed to be slightly bigger than we are used to. Good hanging space but fewer drawers than normal. Near lift but not noisy in any way.Read All Deluxe Veranda (partially obstructed view) (2C) Reviews >>
Port and Shore Excursions
Went to Ravenna first. Took shuttle bus into town and walked around. Visited Dante's tomb.
In Dubrovnik took the shuttle bus into the very pretty old town. We had visited before sand as it was very hot did not walk the walls. Had a cool drink at the harbour instead.
Tender. No need to take an excursion here as the town itself is very beautiful. The sail up to the town is wonderful and worth getting up early for. Beautiful!
City Tour
Good bus tour which ended in a boat tour of the harbour. For once I felt this tour was good value for money
We really don't like Naples as we don't feel safe there
We got off the ship and took a boat to Sorrento. It's very easy to do as the pier for the boat is right next to the ship. It's also much cheaper than a ship tour.
We have visited Rome many times before and as it was very hot we decided to stay onboard and make use of the facilities on the ship.
Tender. No need for tour as the town is fantastic. Very narrow streets and alleyways and very historic. I was really impressed as I wasn't expecting it to be so pretty.
We overnighted in Venice which was wonderful. Very hot during the day but cooler in the evening. We found it easy to find our way around and had a lovely inexpensive meal in a square just behind St Mark's.

text: Politics 27 April 2011 How can the Mona Lisa compete with a copy made from toast? Sign up for our weekly email * I'm in Melbourne, along with half the world's funnymen and funnywomen and a few people passing themselves off as those things. We're all being outsold, though, by a ferocious opponent, in the form of a 3,300-year-old man. He has a five-star review from Melbourne's biggest newspaper and it's almost impossible to get a ticket. He doesn't do jokes and he's not even physically present at the show. It's hard to compete with a performer whose reputa-tion allows him to take such liberties with the paying public. He is King Tutankhamun, and the riches of his tomb are on display in Melbourne for the first and only time before they return to their final resting place in Egypt. But I know a marketing ploy when I see one, and this sounds suspiciously like Tom Jones doing his "last ever tour" some time around 1986. This past week I went to see my veteran - indeed, dead - rival in action. Sure enough, it took some effort to get in. The Melbourne Museum hasn't held back on the hype, describing it as "the greatest exhibition of all time": a slap in the face for the Great Exhibition, which must have thought it had something of a monopoly on the title. The museum is chock full of Egyptian-flavoured merchandise, in case, after reverently examining the drinking-cups and immortality talismans of the boy king, your first thought is: "Well, what I need now is a pencil case." We lined up with hordes of ticket-buyers, having first posed for a complimentary photo that we could buy afterwards - very much like ancient Egypt. Then, we were let loose on the treasures of the tomb. It was the first time I've heard a teacher utter the phrase "Darren, don't bash the amulet". The most remarkable thing about the exhibition's success is that the remains of King Tut aren't there. Though the show is cannily called "Tutankhamun", it might more accurately be called "Some Stuff We Found In a Tomb". This didn't deter anyone, but it did leave me wondering what would happen if audience members turned up to my show and found, instead of me in the flesh, a lot of my clothes and books scattered about the stage. Still, it was quite an experience - almost enough to get me digging in my pockets for money to buy the CD of music "inspired by Egypt" in the gift shop afterwards. There's an undoubted thrill in seeing objects that not only have survived the test of time, but look so weirdly new, thanks to nobody troubling them for more than 3,000 years. Wonder fatigue At the same time, there is a problem with witnessing wonders these days: you've almost certainly seen them before. Faced with a mummy (or any jaw-dropping artefact, for that matter), often your first emotion is not awe but the strange sensation that it looks a lot like the mummy in that film you saw. Your first thought on seeing the Sydney Opera House ought to be, "What a privilege to clap eyes on this world landmark," but more often it's likely to be: "This looks a lot like Steve's screen-saver at work." Some things end up seeming less impressive than their replicas. When you finally make it to the Mona Lisa, you are more than likely to think: "Is that it?" Its many reproductions, tributes and appearances in pop culture mean that the real, oddly small, invisible-behind-camera-flashes thing hanging on a wall in the Louvre is a near-certain disappointment. I once saw, at Niagara Falls, a Mona Lisa homage that some patient person had made from thousands of pieces of toast, grilled to slightly different colours. How can the real Mona Lisa compete with that? What can we do to avoid famous-sights fatigue? Should we avoid all images of such things in order to save ourselves for the original? It's easier said than done - do you know how many Eiffel Tower keyrings there are in circulation? I'm in Sydney next week; am I meant to shut my eyes each time I see an Opera House mouse mat for sale? Perhaps it's just a matter of mental adjustment. If we're so used to processing images of spectacular sights that we become blasé about them, we need to shock ourselves into connecting with them. Next time you're face to face with the riches of Tutankhamun, or some comparable marvel, try articulating the astounding facts. Try saying, "This object was made by people more than 3,000 years ago. For most of what we understand as human history, it has not been seen by a soul. Now I am privileged to set eyes on it." In fact, if you really want the museum to yourself, try saying it out loud in a thunderous tone. That'll stop Darren from messing about with that amulet. l Next week: Nicholas Lezardnewstatesman.com/blogs/mark-watson Mark Watson is a stand-up comedian and novelist.

April 6, 1999
A fellow is driving in the country and notices a farmer holding a large sow pig in an apple orchard. As he comes to a stop he notices the farmer is hefting this large pig up to the branch of a tree so the pig can take an apple in it's mouth. The farmer continues to hold the pig as it eats the apple and then uses all his strength to lift the sow to another apple on the branch. Amazed at the what he has witnessed the fellow parks his car and walks over to the farmer. Driver: "I couldn't help but notice all effort you're putting in to feeding that pig."Farmer: "Yeah I really like this sow. She's one of my best."Driver: "Well it seems there might be a more efficient way to get the apples to her. What if you set her on the ground and shook the apples from the tree? She could eat them off the ground. Just think of all the time that would be saved."Farmer: "Your probably right, but what's time to a pig?"

Ole was in visiting at the new bank building, and to meet up with his banker he had to get into one of the elevators and head up to the 16th floor. The elevator went up two floors, stopped, and in walked beautiful and, for the most part, unapproachable, Leina. She smiled sideways at him with a coquettish look, and before the elevator even started on its way up, she had pressed the stop button. She then turned to Ole and said in throaty tones through beautiful pouty lips, "Ole, now's your chance to really make me feel like a woman." Without any more encouragement than that, Ole husked off all his clothes and tossed them in the corner. Then, with a knowing look in his eyes, and a bit of a smile turning on his face, Ole turned to Leina and whispered, "fold my clothes."
Two Marines boarded a shuttle flight out of Washington, headed for SC. One sat in the window seat, the other sat in the middle seat. Just before takekoff, a Soldier got on and took the aisle seat next to the two Marines. The Soldier kicked off his shoes, wiggled his toes and was settling in when the Marine in the window seat said, "I think I'll get up and get a coke.""No problem," said the Soldier, "I'll get it for you." While he was gone, the Marine picked up one of the Soldier's shoes and spit in it. When the Soldier returned with the coke, the other Marine said, "That looks good, I think I'll have one, too."Again, the Soldier obligingly went to fetch it and while he was gone, the Marine picked up the Soldier's other shoe and spit in it. The Soldier returned and they all sat baqk and enjoyed the remainder of their short flight to SC. As the plane was landing, the Soldier slipped his feet into his shoes and realized immediately what had happened."How long must this go on?" the Soldier askekd. "This fighting between our services? This hatred? This animosity? This spitting in shoes and peeing in cokes?"

Pretzel-Crusted Crab Cakes
Instead of bread crumbs, chef Stephanie Sokolove uses crushed pretzels to bind and crust her chunky crab cakes. She sometimes bakes them in her outdoor oven.
Slideshow: New England Classics
Slideshow: More Seafood Recipes
- Active:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 3 scallions, green parts only, thinly sliced
- 1 pound lump crabmeat, picked over for shell
- 3/4 cup finely ground hard pretzels (from 1/2 pound pretzels)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
How to make this recipe
In a bowl, whisk the mayonnaise with the egg, mustard, Old Bay, paprika and scallions. Fold in the crabmeat and 1/2 cup of the pretzels. Refrigerate the crab mixture for 1 hour, until the pretzels are moist.
Preheat the oven to 400°. Form the crab mixture into eight 2 1/2-inch patties. Coat the crab cakes with the remaining 1/4 cup of ground pretzels. In an ovenproof nonstick skillet, melt the butter in the oil. Add the crab cakes and cook over moderately high heat until browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Turn the crab cakes and transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake the crab cakes for about 5 minutes, until they are browned all over, then serve.
Make Ahead
The crabmeat mixture can be refrigerated overnight.
Serve With
Mayonnaise whisked with roasted garlic and mustard.
Suggested Pairing
A crisp, apple-and-pear-scented Pinot Blanc.

Pretty cool effect I just picked up on my RSS
Really nice! I watched it 5 times.
And how much cooler would it look if he add motion blur and DOF !!!
4% CPU usage, rock solid and awesome. Most of all runs on all browsers. Nice.
Interesting as maybe i am wrong but i don't think this was based on the new API stage 3D or maybe yes (I don't think so) and like the Italian man say CPU is almost nothing .
Still most of the class particle engines dev` made up today are a bit useless or heavy in size (20kb-90 kb) , there is a limit on what you can do or more right to say the use of the particles, problem start when you start to blast them with sprite images text atc` + the main problem controlling particle movement or the amount of use in particle need a special care base on the machine users use when apply it to your flash project .
Best use today in flash IMO when it comes to particles is to blast things around with flash hot smoking particles by thousand and then integrate this in AE but the exporting take a lot of good s** quality from the effect, still this is a good way or 1 more thing you can make money off, but this is if you know good flash coding and AE
So cool
It's stage3D based
^yap i just try it with fp10 so i guess its stage3D .
no just think what it will be good for
I thought that you can go full screen only on user mouse click? But he uses F to go full screen ?

Leading Queen's Plate contender Jiggs Coz vies for his third straight stakes win in Sunday's $150,000 Plate Trial for 3-year-olds at Woodbine.
The son of Cozzene enters the 1 1/8-mile event for Canadian breds, which is a key prep for the $1 million Queen's Plate on June 24, off a brilliant win in the seven-furlong Queenston Stakes.
The Sid Attard trainee settled in seventh, just two lengths off the pace before commencing a strong rally at the three-eighths pole. The classy gray drew off by 3 1/4 lengths for his third win in four career starts.
Assistant trainer Chris Simpson summed up the effort, his first as a 3-year-old, with one exclamation.
"Wow," he said. "We expected a big race out of him. We didn't expect that -- for him to draw off on the field in a canter. He won in a gallop."
Simpson said the Ontario-bred came out of the race in strong shape, physically and mentally.
"He's awesome. He probably came out of it better than he went into it. He's become a little more aggressive. He's acting coltish. He's charging the screen and trying to bite people. He's very high on himself," he explained.
The Brampton resident said Jiggs Coz has raised the energy in the barn to a level that it has recently only experienced with two other equines -- Labatt Woodbine Oaks winner Ginger Gold and Atto Mile (Can-I) victor Numerous Times.
To maintain his status at Queen's Plate favorite, Jiggs Coz has to win one more race -- Sunday's Plate Trial.
Simpson said the two-turn journey is the least of their concerns, especially considering he won the 1 1/16-mile Display Stakes in his final start as a 2-year-old.
"Distance we don't think will be a problem. I think now, with the blinkers off, he probably will be better around two turns. He'll be able to relax more."
Tactically, Simpson said Jiggs Coz and jockey David Clark should be able to work out an advantageous trip.
"If there's a little bit of speed in the race, he'll be able to sit just off of it," said Simpson. "He doesn't need to be on the lead. He showed that going seven eighths (in the Queenston). The way he won the last race, it was so professional that it doesn't really matter how the race sets up, he's going to make a run no matter what."

i got cheated on
FUUUUUUUUUUUUU :censor:
**** that dude. i'm in san jose. if you ever need to chill hit me up. i went through the same ****
all I gotta say is hang in there, man...
I went through the same ****, make sure that the b!tch is out of your life, completely.
If she didn't manage to sustain a healthy relationship with you, that means it wasn't worth it in the first place.
Get your mind set on the things that matter for you and be ultra-selfish when it comes to YOUR goals and wishes.
Start healing with friends n beer and you'll see, that sooner or later everything will work out in your favor.
Way I reasoned it out - there is roughly 150k different 9-10/10 pu$$ies around to be banged ;)
is she your GF in the pics? ill be crazy too!
i don't mean to be insensitive, but noodz?
Happened to me after 2.5 years with a girl. Respected the fact that she admitted to it the day after (was on business in california when it occurred) but knew it wasn't worth it to even try to continue the relationship. Hurts but honestly, don't let it impact your self confidence. When people do that, it has nothing to do with you as a person.
go on a smash and dash rampage.... you'll feel better in no time!
Hang in there...
so she's a piece of shiit.... bottom line
would you rather it happen now? or later on in life when things are more involved/serious
not sure how long you two were together, if it was a short period, then you should be thankful it happened now... if it was a few years... well hopefully this will be a learning experience for you as maybe this is something you should have "picked up on" if you were with her for that long
bottom line, you need to:
1. realize that this shouldn't change you as a person, you are faithful, and the twat that she is didn't appreciate you
2. honestly not feel bad, i know its tough thinking about her having sex with someone else (sorry to bring it up) but fact of the matter is, she's a piece of shiit, a skank, whoore, sluut, unappreciative kunt, and everything in live will end up coming back to bite her in the ass
3. try and look forward to dating and meeting someone new... i love first dates, they are so exciting... if you are a good person, you should be psyched to meet someone...
as much as people say "give it time"... there is not a cure in the world that is better than a rebound girl... get out there and get your mind off of the other fvckface, date, have fun with friends, and keep your chin up... happiness isn't going to come knocking on your door one day, so get out there and live it up man
yes i've dealt with this before, take my words please :rofl:
Newds: It'll make you feel better.
in a few months you will look back and laugh and say fvck that b!tch
Are you guys,asking for noods,serious?That's so f6cked up.
No newds and she was not the girl in my sig.
Dated this girl for over 2 years and I'm amazed how I put up with her. She has MAJOR trust and insecurity issues. She was always assuming that I'd cheat on her, yet in the end it was her. :loco:
I feel somewhat brainwashed and crazy because I was believing something that wasn't real. For the past 2 years, I had crushed my self-esteem as she had always made me feel like a terrible boyfriend. When in reality, I was not. I need to get back to reality and work on things that are important in my life.
did you read my post above? no i'm not asking for newds lol
Will that change the situation?
Wow man, your ex sounds like my ex. She did the exact same thing. Was insecure and stuff, those type of girls need attention from guys in order to make themselves feel better about themselves. The crave for attention. Find yourself a rebound girl.
