Well thanksgivings gone, I survived. His birthday hit really really hard, but I survived. Christmas well its over also. No frills, no tree, only a few presents nothing like what it would have been if Bryan was still here. I didn't want to do anything, but I got up and cooked all day (for the kids). It was so lonely not having him in the kitchen every half an hour just making sure everything was ok and I didn't need his help for anything. Soooo lonely, I feel like Scrooge. bah, humbug. I feel the same way about the new year, how am I going to survive, bah, humbug. Maybe a new year but no happy in it. But I will continue on, praying for the Lord and Bryan to please help me. Like most of you my motto has become one breath, one step. I hope that as time goes on I can lose this scrooge that has been thrust into my life. Bryan, please make him go away, I don't like him. Please help me to, if not be happy, to at least be a little less sad. I miss you soooo much, I love you baby

(Toronto, Ontario)
Arthur was my grandfather. He was my mom's mom's 2nd husband - my Nan, this is a british grandmother. He was arthur to the grandkids, but he was still our grandfather, or it would have been nandad for british grandpa, but I never got to meet my nandad, he died before I was born.
Anyway, I miss him a lot. Sometimes I don't want to believe he's gone. I feel so angry sometimes that he is. I am angry at him sometimes that he's not coming back, and that he left my Nan here to just fade away, as this is how she's been since he died. I noticed a decline in her after his death.
I know live in the apartment they both lived in together since they were married. Actually, my Nan lived here first for a few years, as I've learned, and then once her and Arthur were married, moved in here. Anyway, I've only ever known it as their place. It is very difficult living here sometimes. I have been living here since April of this year. Sometimes I haven't wanted to come home, and I've thought it was just because I've been unhappy about other things, but I'm starting to think it has more to do with the fact that I will never get to share those great times with them again. It's no longer Nan and Arthur's place. It's mine but doesn't feel like mine.
By the way, my Nan is still alive. She is 91 and living with my mom in her condo as it was not safe for her to live on her own any longer. It was really hard for my Nan to leave this apartment, and I can see why. She now has dimensia or some type of alzheimer's. They live a block away from me so we are close which is nice. Last night I was visiting with them, and when I went to say goodnight/goodbye to my Nan, she grabbed my hands and wished me a happy New Year, all the best for 2013, the year to come. I wished her the same, and when I did, she said "well, I won't see much more of it". I was heartbroken. I know she's older and things are getting worse for her, but she's still with it, still moves around, eats well, has a sense of humour. I am so upset. I think I just lost my grandpa 2 years ago - almost 3 now, I don't want to have to go to another funeral so soon. I don't want to say goodbye to my Nan too.
I should feel blessed and grateful for this wonderful apartment. Sometimes I feel resentment towards it, I feel angry. I had helped my mom go through all my Nan and Arthur's things - EVERYTHING - from their apartment once my Nan moved out, and it was very very difficult. There was lots of memorabilia. Everything was them, and I got rid of almost all of it, except for a sailship, a toy one that Arthur made himself; he built a few of them. I have some was books of his; he was in the british Nave. I have all their phots albums. But, other than that, I changed almost everything about this plave. I was quick to get rid of it. I wanted to make it into something different because it was no longer theirs. It still feels like their place though, not matter what I do to it. And I feel lonely here sometimes. Like I shouldn't be here. This is a place meant for a couple. It should be a place filled with love and laughter and good times, like they had. I wish they were still here to share it. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it. I've had so many mixed emotions when I'm here. It's been so hard to make sense of them sometimes. A lot of times I just don't want to be here. But, I have 2 cats. And I feel bad when I leave them - I feel guilty that I don't want to be here with them. But, it's not really that I don't think. Because, when I'm elsewhere, at at someone else's house/apartment, I usually think, it would be nice if they were here with us. It's just being here in this place with them, with anyone really. I am okay for a while, but at times I just have this yucky feeling come over me; feeling uncomfortable and I just don't like it.
It's been so hard to get in touch with some of these feelings. Now I realize a bit more that it sucks because my Nan is still alive, so she should be here, but shes not. And I feel confused because I feel she's gone, but then realize, no, she's still "here", but not here - this place anymore. Agh, it's so frustrating sometimes.

Hey ladies,
I am newly pregnant with my third child (due in May). With my first, I had a normal pregnancy but delivery didn't go as planned and I had a c-section after a long labor. A full week after my c-section, I developed a petechial rash all over my body that the doctors first suspected was DIC (a late symptom in HELLP) and high fever with bad abdominal pain and was re-admitted to the hospital. I was diagnosed with a uterine infection, but the dr said it was very strange because usually those are diagnosed within 2-3 days after delivery, not a full week.
At 38 wks into my second pregnancy, I started having blurred vision and a few incidents of really dark, orange urine as well as sweating. I called my dr, they told me to just get my BP checked and it was only mildly elevated. The next week (wk 39) when I went in for my OB check up, I again mentioned the vision issues and was feeling dizzy while I was there. They did bloodwork, and the results came back a few days later. When they got the results, they said my liver enzymes were significantly elevated and that I needed to go directly to the hospital. I did, and instead of the VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean section) I was hoping for, I had another c-section. I did not have protein in my urine, and my BP wasn't significantly elevated.
Afterwards, another one of the OBs in the practice said that maybe it wasn't HELLP after all, maybe it was my gallbladder...only I had my galbladder removed a few years ago so it couldn't have been that either. In the end, it seemed that they weren't really sure what was wrong with me.
I am wondering if there was a connection between both pregnancies and their outcomes, and wondering what I can do this time to be pro-active now that I've had weird things happen twice. Any thoughts on what this could be?

Martin Keamy is the main antagonist of the fourth season of the ABC TV series, Lost. He is an assassin hired by Charles Widmore to kill Benjamin Linus, and then burn the Island, which would kill everybody there, including the innocent survivors.
Season 4
His team arrives on the Island, and kill Karl, Danielle Roussaeu, and takes her daughter Alex hostage. Knowing that Ben cares for Alex, because Ben raised Alex, Keamy attempts to negotiate for Ben's surrender in exchange for the safe release of Alex. Believing that he is bluffing, Ben does not comply, and Keamy shoots Alex dead.
Upon returning to the freighter, Keamy unsuccessfully attempts to kill Michael Dawson, whom he has discovered is Ben's spy, then obtains the "secondary protocol" from a safe. The protocol contains instructions from Widmore for finding Ben if he finds out Keamy's intention to torch the island, which he apparently had. The protocol contains details about a 1980s research station called the "Orchid" that was previously run by a group of scientists working for the. Keamy is also informed by Captain Gault that Keamy and his mercenary squad may be suffering from some sort of mental sickness, a notion Keamy dismisses. Later in the day, Omar straps a dead man's switch to Keamy, rigged to detonate on the freighter if Keamy's heart stops beating. That night, Frank refuses to fly the mercenaries to the island. In a display of power, Keamy slits the throat of the ship's doctor Ray and throws him overboard and later outdraws and shoots Captain Gault during a tense standoff. Frank Lapidus flies the remaining five mercenaries back to the island. The team apprehends Ben at the Orchid and takes him to the chopper where they are ambushed and killed by Ben's people and 815 survivors Kate Austen, and Sayid Jarrah. After a chase to recapture Ben and a brawl with Sayid, Keamy is shot in the back by Richard Alpert, who leaves him for dead, unaware of Keamy's bulletproof vest. Later, Keamy descends into the Orchid's underground level via its elevator to stalk Ben, who hides in the shadows. Goading Ben with taunts about his daughter's death, Keamy is ambushed by Ben, who beats him into submission with an expandable baton before stabbing him repeatedly in the neck. Though Locke attempts to save his life for the sake of the freighter, Keamy dies and the dead man's trigger detonates the explosives on the freighter, killing nearly everyone aboard.
Season 6
Keamy is featured in the "flash-sideways" world in Season 6, portrayed as a business partner of Sun's father Mr. Paik. He was to receive payment for killing Jin from him, who had brought $25,000 to America, but it was taken away at the airport. Jin is put in a freezer in restaurant, and Sayid is brought to the same restaurant to be told that his brother failed to pay back Keamy some money for a business. Sayid retaliates and shoots Keamy, supposedly killing him.

I'm on a documentary kick these days so Mid Century spotting hasn't really been a priority, hence my slacker posting style. I can't blame it on being A.D.D, the simplest explanation is that there is only 24 hours in a day and I am quite obsessive with certain tasks and other things end up becoming neglected. It's a really good thing I don't have a pet, yet It's surprising I have thriving house plants.
With Mr. Sassoon recently passing away this past May, I watched Vidal Sassoon, The Movie. I find successful artist to be fascinating beings and have recently come to terms with understanding how to separate an artist and his art. I didn't always think in those terms. I think it's easy to fall in love with the idea of someone without looking at the reality of who they are versus what they do.
Anyhooo, there's a lovely bit about Mary Quant in the movie and while they discuss each other's influences on each other, Vico Magistretti's Carimate Chairs are in Mary's office. Originally commissioned for the Italian Carimate Golf Club in the late 1950′s, these were produced in the 1960′s by Cassina and then eventually made by De Padova. They are no longer being produced, but will come up randomly on ebay and other auction sites.

With every purchase, we tend to rethink our decision. Whether or not our decision will be worth every penny we've spent. But as time passes by, our way of thinking became more rational. We often hear ourselves ask this type of question "Is this going to help me?" "Will this guarantee my business success?" "Will this last long?" if we will purchase or not the item we need or want.
When it comes to Data purchasing, we are unaware whether it can help our business grow. We are gambling, whether this data can provide us with useful information or not. But nevertheless, we take on that gamble and with only 50% chance of having a 75% working data, we still push on our gamble to find out whether we can use the 75% of the data we purchase. But nonetheless, we are still trying to find out what makes a data purchasing worth every penny, if we are only given an 75% accurate Data.

Raging Bull

 RICHARD SCHICKEL: You spoke earlier about the limits of friendship and loyalty. Yet around this time a friend did come through for you. I'm talking about Robert De Niro and his determination that you make Raging Bull. This was coming at a time when you were very ill and were, if we're to believe Peter Biskind's book, Easy Riders, Raging Bulls, part of a fairly heavy drug scene.

 MARTIN SCORSESE: The only good thing about the drug use is that it was very obvious in my case. And I just had to go to that brick wall. Nobody was going to tell me otherwise, whether it was a rock 'n' roller, or a studio executive, or an actor. People can try to guide me, but I always have to go my own way.

 RS: The only reason I bring it up is because it's part of the public record of your life.

 MS: Right. After New York, New York I was exhausted to the point where a number of people were worried about my health. I said, "Don't worry, I'm fine." And then after the Labor Day weekend in Telluride, at the film festival, I got back to New York and suffered a total collapse. That's when I finally went to the hospital, and that's when De Niro came to visit and asked if I wanted to do the film. Really, we had been working on it since Taxi Driver. I realized I had nothing else to do. I had exhausted all the possibilities. Even my friends were all going off on their own. I was alone. And it was time to go back to work. And what I discovered—it's in Raging Bull and it's in the other pictures later on—is that I had to come to terms with something.

 RS: What did you come to terms with?

 MS: The fighting with myself. You get to the point where you just get used to yourself: that's who you are, just get on with it.

 RS: Stop there. What were you fighting in yourself? I mean, you were a talented kid. You had done pretty well for a young guy.

 MS: I have no idea. Really.

 RS: Were you fighting the past in some sense?

 MS: Probably the past, I guess. I didn't trust myself. I'm not talking about art; I'm talking about myself as a person. I've surprised myself too many times in the wrong way.

 It's how you treat people around you, how you treat yourself. And then you say, If you make a little bit of peace with yourself, you might be better with the people around you, too. That's all it is. Maybe it's maturing to a certain extent, but I don't think I did. You just get older; you're a little more tired.

 RS: Was this tied in to people firing you, or saying you were too damned ambitious?
 Was it pushing yourself to succeed when people thought you already had, given your age, your experience? Or was it that you were pressing against their low expectations for you while you had high expectations?
 MS: I don't really know. I mean, I just wasn't comfortable with myself, who I was, what I was trying to be. Was I trying to be a movie director, or a filmmaker? A director in the style of Hollywood, or a filmmaker in the style of Europe? I mean, I didn't fit either place. I still don't. It's about how you're trying to express yourself. You've got this need to do something, and sometimes it's crazy. People say, Oh, you're taking yourself too seriously. But I can't help it. Out of the seriousness comes the humor, too.

 RS: It's perhaps not so apparent to the people around you as it is to you.

 MS: Maybe, but it is absolutely hilarious at times to me. The gambles I make— I seem to have this need. I try to do other things. I wish I could do many things— like write music. But making movies is the only thing that there seems to be a need for on my part.

 RS: Raging Bull seems to be your common- consent masterpiece.

 MS: I don't know.

 RS: You don't think so?

 MS: I don't know. I really have no idea.

 RS: Set aside its masterly qualities for a minute. There's no doubt you were coming back with it, so to speak, even though most of us didn't know you'd been away.

 MS: I was coming back. But I collapsed on that movie, too, during postproduction. And that wasn't from drugs. That was just from exhaustion—walking pneumonia, apparently. Later, on King of Comedy, Jerry Lewis would make me laugh, which made me cough, and then the bronchial asthma would start. Then he would say, "Would somebody get a goddamn ambulance over here," and make me laugh more.

 I was dragging myself through each day on King of Comedy. But I kept pushing, pushing the envelope, seeing what would happen in terms of the work.

 RS: Did it do your work any good?

 MS: No, I don't think it did. And I don't look at it as heroic. I just woke up one day and I had survived. That's it. It's nothing to be proud of.

 RS: It obviously didn't do your health any good.

 MS: No. But, as you know, my whole life I had been reliant on asthma medication. My whole speech pattern is based on that. It's very fast, and there's no breathing, the breathing isn't right.

 RS: Does the asthma medicine juice you up?

 MS: Not really.

 RS: You're saying medicine, doctors, were second nature to you, just part of your life.
 MS: I have friends who say, I'm not going to a doctor, I don't care what a doctor says. Me, I went to doctors all the time. I felt doctors were interesting.

 RS: Let's look at the specifics of Raging Bull. What I love about that movie is its utter refusal to explain Jake LaMotta. I mean, with your first glimpse of the film, you think it's a genre movie, that it's going to be like Somebody Up There Likes Me.

 MS: I didn't know anything about boxing. On TV, or in the movie theaters, where they'd show the fight on the weekend, the fights all looked the same. All from one camera angle. I didn't know what the hell was going on. I didn't understand it. It was sports, which took me out of the picture.

 RS: What I mean to say is that it's a modernist film, even though it looks like it might be part of a classic Hollywood genre.

 MS: I never thought it was genre.

 RS: There never is one of those explanatory scenes—where we learn his father beat him or his mother didn't like him.

 MS: I saw too many of those films that came out in the fifties, or late forties, when Freudian psychology was coming in, and every movie explained everything. Knock on Any Door [a tragic 1949 history of a juvenile delinquent], and there's Nick Romano.

 You can't explain a human being with one Freudian term. On Raging Bull, I said let's take all that out. I don't want to do any of that. As you know, I was totally resistant to that picture. But Bob seemed to know that it was a picture that was very appropriate for me to do. My old friend Mardik Martin, a very sweet guy, was working on the script, but I gave him no supervision. It was a very traditional script. We went about it in a very conventional way. Jake starts out as a young man, goes through his whole life to the end. And I wasn't satisfied. I had no intention of making that picture, none. And I was having my own problems at the time, too; I was finishing The Last Waltz.

 Yet De Niro was very, very persistent about Raging Bull, despite my misgivings.
 I had had a lot of problems with myself on New York, New York, and I wasn't even sure I should work with him again at that point. It wasn't a matter of what he did, it's a matter of how I was feeling about the whole actor- director process. I had wanted to do Mean Streets, New York, New York, Taxi Driver. And the next picture I felt strongly about was making The Last Temptation of Christ. And so I felt, Can I do this? Can I go through this process? But I tried to do another version of the script, and it still wasn't right. Eventually, we agreed that if anything could come of this, Paul Schrader was the one who could write a script for us. Paul, to his credit, accepted the challenge one night over dinner. He said, "I will give you six weeks. I will give it to you in six weeks."

 Paul, of course, had his own career. He was about to go shoot a big movie; I think it was American Gigolo. He had come off Blue Collar, all these really good films. And Taxi Driver won the Golden Palm in Cannes, a Scorsese–De Niro picture with Paul's name scarcely mentioned. These things get a little touchy at times. He didn't have to do this for us.

 RS: I understand.

 MS: But it was just what we needed in terms of structure. He started the picture in the middle. He had the scene at the end in the jail which was very interesting, he did a whole thing with masturbation in there. I thought that was interesting. But I still was not determined to make the movie. There was a meeting with Irwin Winkler and me and Paul and Bob. They got into an argument, because Paul was going away. He said, "Look, I did this as a favor. I've got my own things to do." Rightly so. "I'm not doing the second draft." By that point I was sort of watching from the side. Irwin somehow worked it out. There were a lot of things in the script that I still was not focused on, though; I was still having my own emotional and physical problems. So I wasn't at the top of my game. And, quite honestly, I wasn't that enamored of the script, though there were two or three scenes I really liked. Bob had his own feelings about the script.

 It wasn't like Taxi Driver, which Paul delivered finished, complete. You hardly had to do anything with it. Amazing. This was something different, something he was doing for us as a favor. So we had one more meeting with him, and he said, Look. Go ahead, do it your way. Rewrite it yourselves. You should try this, you should try that. Or he would say, I would suggest doing this, combining two characters, making them one. But do whatever you want. And so, basically, that's what we did. The whole sequence of events is very different from the original script that Paul gave us. But the structure is there. What Paul did was blast through that logjam.

 Then Bob came to say, "Look, we got the script. Let's work on it." He took me to Saint Martin for, like, two and a half weeks—and we wrote ten pages a day, improvised together. I wrote it all in longhand on yellow pads that I still have. Since then, he's said, You know, there is no script. But there is a script, and it was used by the studio. It's referred to in the book Final Cut by Steven Bach. Everything in that picture was worked out between me and Bob on a little audio tape recorder on the island. We even had an assistant with us, and she would type out the pages at the end of the day. We would work it out in the morning. I'd write pages in the afternoon. She would type them. And we'd go have dinner. There were no phones. It was total concentration. Everything was done at that little table with that silly cabana umbrella, and we're looking out at the ocean.

 We had a little golf cart, and we drove into town to have dinners at these small places, and we just talked and talked and talked and talked and talked. And we were totally alone. We saw only two people that we knew while we were on this island. One night we're having dinner and [New York Times fi lm critic] Vincent
 Canby is sitting over there.

 RS: No kidding?

 MS: [Laughs.] I said hello. We were just waving. Another day, who's walking on the beach but Marco Ferrari. I said hello to him, and that was it. For me it was sort of like a spa, like 81/2, where I completely cleaned out. I was in good shape, given a clean bill of health by the doctors, finally. And I thought, Okay. You know what? Maybe Bob's right. Maybe this is the right picture to make. Let's go.

 RS: Now let's talk about the film you made.

 MS: As I said, when Schrader came into it, he started the film right in the middle, with a man who wanted the title, and couldn't get it because he wouldn't play ball with the wiseguys—not necessarily because of any moral indignation, but because he didn't want to share his money with them. He's going to get hit in the ring and these bastards are coming in and taking the money. They do it with everybody, the character thinks, but why should they do it with me? I'm tougher than they are. What can you say about a guy like that? You're not giving the audience any reason to like him. He's not being magnanimous, he's not being enlightened about it.

 RS: It extends everywhere else. He doesn't see the world clearly. It extends to the woman he apparently loves. It extends to his brother, where he makes these horrendous accusations that he's slept with his wife. Does that come not out of this particular familial situation but out of the fact that life is so tough that no explanation of it can possibly
 suffice?

 MS: That anger and that rage was at the level of my grandparents. They didn't know how to take advantage of the American way. All they could do was try to have some dignity and respect within the neighborhood. And that was the struggle of my father, too. My father always wore glasses. He finally told me why. He said his eye was bad because his father slapped him in the head when he was about five or six. I asked why. He said: "I said something that lacked respect."

 So they were just lucky to get where they were. And that's the nature of poor people. It has to do with simply trying to hold on to those old values. But Jake's a character who can't hang on to those values because of how he feels about himself. He's in the dressing room and he says something like "I did some bad things in my life." It's this extraordinary guilt that he has, and this anger he has, that he acts out of. We did it as honestly as possible. And it had aspects of my family in there, yes, even though I couldn't fully explain it.

 Raging Bull also represented something new to me: an acceptance of where I came from. Having made New York, New York, a film that was not received well, I went through a rough period in my life. I came out the other side, and I said to myself, Wait a minute, I can't deny who I am or where I came from. So I embraced my parents again, and they became a part of my life in the films, too. My father's in Raging Bull. My mother acted in a lot of the films. They were on the set to help me remember who I am and where I'm from. So I'd been harboring a lot of anger and rage, and I think it just explodes in Raging Bull.

On TV, incompetence is funny, sometimes hilarious. Jackie Gleason made a career of it on the old "Honeymooners" show; Tom Haverford is absurdly incapable on "Parks and Recreation"; and Michael Scott brought the Peter Principle to new heights in "The Office."
But in real life, incompetence can be dangerous, even life-threatening (think a real-life Homer Simpson actually in charge of safety at a nuclear power plant).
That's where America finds itself nearly six years into the presidency of Barack Obama.Read Full Article »

Reading the coverage ...
Football Outsiders discussed Bengals-Texans and Colts-Ravens as they unfolded.
Houston Texans
The Patriots' rout of the Texans turned on five plays, says Dale Robertson of the Houston Chronicle.
That regular-season game in New England was too big for the Texans, says John McClain of the Chronicle. "This is a chance for the Texans to earn redemption, to make up for a performance that caused them to be ridiculed from coast to coast."
The Patriots are a dividing line for the Texans, writes Brian T. Smith of the Chronicle.
To which I say: A scenario where Houston could advance deep in the playoffs without beating New England was really unlikely. But it's hard not to wonder about how it would be different had the Texans earned a home game this round.
In New England, at least one writer thinks the Texans will barely be a speed bump for the Patriots, says Jerome Solomon of the Chron.
Pete Prisco of CBS Sports doesn't see the Texans going to New England and matching Tom Brady.
Indianapolis Colts
The end of the Colts' season is really just the start, says Bob Kravitz of the Indianapolis Star. Said owner Jim Irsay: "There's not much you can say except if adversity builds greatness and strength and those things, then we just added a lot of adversity in our bank."
The Ravens exposed all the Colts' major flaws, says Mike Chappell. It showed us just what GM Ryan Grigson has to work on this offseason -- better protection for Andrew Luck, upgraded cornerbacks, improved run defense.
The Colts got to the 30 or closer five times but never got into the end zone, says Phil Richards of the Star.
The Ravens' big plays will haunt the Colts for the whole offseason, says Phillip B. Wilson. The Ravens gained 273 of their 441 total yards on just eight plays.
"Now all of a sudden we're playing against an 11-5 watermark," said Irsay. Wilson has what the owner said after the game.
Breaking down Denis Pitta's touchdown catch and run which evolved out of pressure from Dwight Freeney on Joe Flacco. From Zak Keefer of the Star.
Breaking down Ray Rice's 47-yard reception before halftime. From Mark Alesia of the Star.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Steve Keim of the Arizona Cardinals front office remains in the mix to become the next general manager of the Jaguars, says Ryan O'Halloran of the Florida Times-Union.
"(Shad) Khan and the new general manager won't have an easy decision as they decide (Mike) Mularkey's fate," says Vito Stellino of the Times-Union. "Firing him would be the easy part. Finding a better replacement could be more difficult."
To which I say: In Carolina, they've decided to keep Ron Rivera as coach before signing a GM. Khan's approach is better.
Tennessee Titans
Season-ending awards for the Titans include Derrick Morgan as defensive player of the year, from Jim Wyatt of The Tennessean.
Colin McCarthy's was the injury that hurt the Titans the most in 2012, says David Boclair of the Nashville City Paper.
To which I say: Can the Titans count on him as their middle linebacker going forward considering how injury prone he is?

Women's World Cup
July 10, 2011 by staff
Women's World Cup, Tournament favorites Germany crashed out of the Women's World Cup 0-1 defeat to Japan. Silvia Neid admits that the team was devastated after their quarterfinal exit in overtime. Germany has emerged from a World Cup at the beginning of the first time since 1999, in a surprise defeat of Japan.
In 90 minutes of normal play, the hosts and tournament favorites Germany was held to a goalless draw in an awesome Japanese defense. As the game stretched into extra time, Germany was unable to exploit its opportunities. A break in the 108th minute saw substitute Karina Maruyama Japan in case of fire the winning goal, silencing the sellout in Wolfsburg.
After winning both the 2003 and 2007 World Cups, this is the first time that Germany has lost the FIFA tournament since losing 3-2 to the hosts U.S. in 1999.
"They [Japan] were very disciplined, very fast and keep your training well," said Germany coach Silvia Neid.
A strong Japanese defense said that, despite numerous opportunities, Germany could not break. In particular, Kerstin Garefrekes and Simone Laudehr teamed well on the wing, but found the net.
The anguish of Germany started in just the fourth minute of play as midfielder Kim Kulig fell sharply after jumping from a header. A wounded and distressed visible Kulig was replaced and was forced to watch the rest of the game from the bench. Initial diagnosis indicates that she has broken the cruciate ligament in the knee.
Also benched was the former Germany star striker Birgit Prinz. The 33-year-old has had a bout of bad form, and was replaced on Saturday by the Inka Grings.
Grings had chances but could not convert, shooting high and high degree.
After 90 minutes of blockade, the Germans increased the pressure on Japan in overtime, but were still unable to break their defense. Maybe more, relying on its air dominance, many free kicks and corners Germans could not find the network.
As a penalty shoot-out seemed increasingly likely, Japan used their speed and agility to take a break at minute 108. His goal came on a quick counterattack, with Captain Hamor Sawa floating the ball through to score Karina Maruyama.
Germany played the remaining twelve minutes with the urgency and creativity, but goalkeeper Kaihuri Ayumi blocked shot after shot.
"I'm sad we're out of the tournament, and I do not think it was the worst of the two teams," Neid said after the game. "We did not score any goals and if no attention is paid throughout the game, you lose the game."
Kulig added that losing playmaker so early "does not help us at all."
A German team welcomed the watery sell-out 26,067 crowd in Wolfsburg, most of which will have to find a new team to support throughout the tournament. Japan will face Australia or Sweden in the semi-final in Frankfurt on Wednesday.

Key Words: chromatin histones deacetylase methylation DNA acetylase
Abstract: Many recent findings have altered our vision of chromatin and its role in the regulation of cellular functions. Our perspective concerning chromatin has changed to a much more complex, but also more dynamic, view of chromatin as an entity that is intimately involved in the regulation of a variety of cellular functions. In this review, we describe the various types of proteins that alter the structure and, therefore, the function of chromatin and discuss the possible role of chromatin in cell aging. The elucidation of the mechanisms that link chromatin to aging will be one of the most exciting and striking advancements in the coming years

My wife and I went to l'Inconnu for the 4th or 5th time last night. Over the last couple years we've watched as the restaurant has become more and more dead. Even at its peak, I don't think I ever saw them full, but certainly any bustle that used to exist seems to be snuffed out now. Yesterday when we arrived at 9pm there was one solitary diner. When the wait staff outnumbers the guests, it's not usually a good sign. We considered bailing on our reservation, but decided to stay, thinking this would be our swan song meal at l'Inconnu, and we hoped that it wasn't going to be terrible.
The meal started off with the customary complimentary amuse bouche (always a nice touch). It was a watermelon gazpacho, with sweet chili and coriander. Absolutely tasty and refeshing.
For starters I had my usual ris de veau/sweetbreads. L'Inconnu is the first place I ever had sweetbreads, and now after trying them all over Montreal at L'Express (gross), LTPB (good, but part of a larger dish), and others, I am sure that L'Inconnu has the best sweetbreads in the entire city. Crispy on the outside, plump, but not squishy on the inside, and sitting on a bed of mushrooms in a port (?) reduction, this is a dish to be savored. I have to close my eyes sometimes, it's that good. My wife had a snowcrab salad that was fresh, and infused with a lemony tartness. It was good, but hard to compare with the richness of l'Inconnu's sweetbreads.
For mains, my wife had a halibut roasted with market vegetables, including seasonal fiddleheads. Like much of the fish at Inconnu, it was a simple preparation that let the freshness of the fish dominate.
I had the duck duo, which included sliced duck breast slathered in a fig reduction sauce, and with an odd little ball on the side. When I broke open the ball I was met with tender shredded duck confit, with a fried duckfat 'cracker' on the side. These "duo" dishes are a specialty at l'Inconnu and are always interesting and tasty.
This meal was so good, making the fact that the restaurant was so dead, soooo wrong. I just had to post something for my fellow Chowhounds to try to get you to give l'Inconnu a shot. The restaurant is a tad off the beaten path (if you consider a 5 minute walk from St Denis and Pine off the beaten path!), the interior is immaculate, warm and inviting, and the service, if not impeccable, at least friendly and familial.
Help keep l'Inconnu alive. I can't live in a world where restaurants with great food, and great ambiance lose out to the slop houses along lower St. Denis!

Joke of the year There was this joke about two women meeting in heaven. One says she froze to death, the other says she had a heart attack. She'd come home early to try and catch her husband having an affair – she'd run all over the house looking for his mistress, before keeling over, dead. "Too bad you didn't look in the freezer," said the first woman, "then we'd both be alive." It was a joke told at length by Andrew, the man on my dad's ward while he waited for open-heart surgery. In a hospital where, in intensive care, at times he seemed to be dying a bit, at other times a lot. Where I fainted once, beside his bed. Since, early this year, my dad finally got better, we've been telling Andrew's joke with varying levels of warm hysteria. It's a bad joke, but this year it was the best.
Gadget of the year My poor iPhone. It started the year being stolen, but made its way back to me by means of magic and some mercy. Inside, a grid of photos showed my friends in all weathers, gamboling and lying still and grinning next to rude signs, and a carefully curated selection of apps waited to entertain me. But like a cat that curls up beside a radiator and slowly stops eating, it wasn't long after its return before my phone stopped charging fully. You could tell it was trying its hardest, but plugged in all night it would only last a morning. At the Apple store they shook their heads with studied sadness. Simless now, it's been dark since September, and I'm still too sentimental to transfer over my wallpaper.
Photo of the year Someone's thumb was over the lens, so the bottom left-hand corner is dark, and it cuts my grandma off at the knee. She wasn't yet my grandma when this photo was taken – judging by the buttons on her blouse and her slightly blurred but youthful brow, the same whitish grey as the huge sky behind her, it must've been the 1940s, before she was even a mother. Hands on hips, lipstick fresh, she looks almost too of her time, like someone overacting in a Channel 5 biopic. As my mum and I were marvelling at this photo, talking about her make-up, the way she fills her fridge with nail varnish and how she'd got kinder as she'd got iller, she was in Manchester, about to die. It wasn't quiet, and it wasn't gentle, it wasn't the slow slipping away that we'd expected. Instead, in the first week of December, there was a serious fire in her flat, and soon after midnight she died. In the photo, partly because it's black and white, partly because she's the only figure in shot, the shape of her shoulders and well-pinned hair appear to make up the rural skyline – a tree, a field, her cheekbone, her collar.
Restaurant of the year It was my sister Nadia's birthday in November, and we met for lunch at my parents' house, where we weren't allowed through the door for some long confusing minutes. We learned, when we were finally invited into the kitchen, that we'd been queuing for my mum's parody of a pop-up burger restaurant. The walls were covered with graffiti, tits and swears drawn massive in red pen, the table covered in paper. Cocktails were served in Kilner jars – chicken wings and burgers in cardboard boxes. The staff/parents were reassuringly rude, and it was wonderful.
Album of the year: Best of Abba I like the idea of listening to new music, but I refuse to risk an hour's commute on new music that might not make me feel anything when I can scroll that half-centimetre on my iTunes and be transported to Abba, as I have been every day this year. God "SOS" is good. From the menacing descent of the intro, that feeling of falling off a cliff made of sugar, to the Euro-climb that drags you back to ringtone heights, it is a song that makes you feel amazing and amazingly sad at exactly the same time. And "Thank You for the Music", a song that, when you sing along, pushing your chin into your neck in an attempt to deepen your voice, feels like yoga.

Really random question but I need help
Does anyone know where I can find food flavored candy?
My daughter Lucy is not going to be able to eat food for a few weeks due to her medical problems. She is not going to be happy about it because she loves the taste of food and she is already begging us for food. We let her have a lot of lollipops. I have heard of some novelty candy that is flavored like food, does anyone know where I can find some?

Connie Willis has published a novel called Blackout on February 2, 2010. The novel is the first book of a two-part story and once again, deals with a plot of historians from the future traveling to the past, in this case, England, during the Blitz in World War II. But there are some glitches with the time travel apparatus, leading us to wonder if the historians will ever be able to go home, again.
Connie's 2007 novella, D.A., is a tongue-in-cheek story about high school kids who want to be space cadets.
Connie Willis says that the Blitz (during WWII) is her favorite period in history, which explains why she has set so many novels and short stories in that period.
Connie's 1997 novel, To Say Nothing Of The Dog is difficult to find in hard cover; after having won the Hugo for Best Novel, hard cover copies of it have sold for as much as $150.00.
Doomsday Book is very much sought after in hard cover. Its initial hard cover print run was lower than usual; since then, it has won both the Hugo and the Nebula, and demand for hard cover copies has increased. Old copies from libraries are selling for as much as $200, and good condition first editions can bring in as much as $1,000.
In 2005, Connie was working on a third time-travel novel set in the same world as her two previous novels, Doomsday Book and To Say Nothing Of The Dog.
Connie's novella, Just Like The Ones We Used To Know (2004) was adapted into a CBS movie of the week. It aired in November, 2005 and did very well in the ratings.
Connie was the Guest of Honor at the L.A. Con IV (WorldCon) held in Los Angeles from August 23 - 27, 2006.
Connie was the Toastmaster at the 2006 Nebula Awards Weekend held in Tempe, Arizona.
Connie's favorite author is Robert A. Heinlein.
Connie's novel Doomsday Book won both the Hugo (in 1993) and the Nebula (in 1992) for best novel.
Her first book of short stories, Fire Watch (published 1984), was a New York Times Notable Book.
Connie Willis has written a book of 8 fantasy and science fiction Christmas tales called, Miracle and Other Christmas Stories.
She won the John W. Campbell Award in 1988 for her novel, Lincoln's Dreams.
Her book (published August, 2005), Inside Job, about a skeptic and his sidekick who try to debunk a psychic, is actually a 99-page novella.
She won the 1999 Hugo award for the book, To Say Nothing of the Dog, a book that encompasses both time travel and Chaos theory.
Connie has said that fury is the starting place for most of her stories, and that her husband has told her that if she couldn't write, she'd probably be a serial killer. She considers this a real possibility.
One of the things that Connie likes best about Science Fiction is that it defies definition because it is constantly re-inventing itself.
Connie has a bulldog named Gracie (after Gracie Allen), and a cat named Lori Darlin' (after the character in Lonesome Dove). She put both of them in her novel, To Say Nothing Of The Dog (1997).
Connie sings soprano in a Congregationalist church choir. She believes that everything a person needs to know about the world can be learned in a church choir.
Her Astrological sign is Capricorn.
She is one of the most honored science fiction writers.
She has won six Nebula Awards.
She has won eight Hugo Awards, for the best science fiction or fantasy stories.
She currently resides in Greeley, Colorado.
Connie Willis: Fred Astaire is my hero. (You probably knew that if you've read Remake.) I love him because he was willing to kill himself to make his art look effortless. And because he proved it's possible to be an artist and a good person.
(on writing books in collaboration with Cynthia Felice)
Connie Willis: It's really fun to collaborate. When you've written your characters into a corner, you just hand the manuscript over to your partner and make her fix it.
Connie Willis: One of the problems of writing a book is all the great stuff you have to leave out.
Connie Willis: I watched the entire O.J. Simpson trial, and he was guilty!
Connie Willis: When I was done with Doomsday Book, I had three loose-leaf notebooks full of research and two 8 x 12 inch boxes full of rough drafts. I have never written anything in one draft, not even a grocery list, although I have heard from friends that this is actually possible.
Connie Willis: I have always intensely resented it when people say, 'Literature is just escaping from life,' and 'When you read you're not really getting out there and living.' To me, the only place to find life is in books!
Connie Willis: Death is a major issue in my writing. My mother died suddenly when I was 12 - an astonishing, totally unexpected death. She went to the hospital to have a baby and died that night. Like Katherine Anne Porter says in Pale Horse, Pale Rider, it was 'a knife that cut across my life and chopped it in two.' Everything changed.

DETROIT (WXYZ) – Detroit police are searching for a possible robbery victim after one man was found dead in the parking lot of a medical marijuana shop on the city's west side.
Police now believe that man who was wearing what appeared to be latex gloves and a mask was attempting an armed robbery when he was shot and killed.
Police say the victim is a black male, between 25 and 30 years old.
They have not released his name.
This all happened right outside the door of the Kush Mart – a medical marijuana dispensary on Livernois.

The Battlefield 1 trailer went down a storm earlier in the year, and now we're getting to hear what the older generation has to say about the game.
Their reactions aren't too strong, these aren't teens who think that the world needs to listen to their 'feels' but the comments afterwards are very interesting and perceptive.
The way these games deal with violence is of course touched upon, and that's an important aspect which has to be remembered, but there's a lot more going on too, including how other developers have to up their game in order to compete, and that's a healthy thing.
Like every other age group, some people are into the idea of these games and others aren't but it's worthwhile remembering that just because a person is old it doesn't mean that they're not interested in the modern world or that their opinions aren't worth hearing.

Bluestone is a smooth stone used for patios, outdoor stairs and pathways. Leaf stains can ruin the appearance of a bluestone patio. Leaves from deciduous trees or needles from evergreens fall on the stone and begin to decompose. As the organic materials break down they leave stubborn stains on bluestone. Cleaning bluestone requires a method tough enough to remove the stain but not so tough that it affects the surface of the stone.
Things You'll Need
- Broom
- Bucket
- Bleach
- Safety goggles
- Rubber gloves
- Scrub brush
- Drop cloth
Sweep the bluestone patio to remove leaves, evergreen needles and other debris. Hose off mud and decomposed leaf parts from the patio surface.
Put on plastic waterproof gloves and safety goggles. Wear waterproof boots and protective clothing to keep the bleach solution off your skin. Bleach will ruin good clothes by permanently discoloring them so don't wear anything you particularly care about.
Fill a bucket with 10 parts warm water and one part household bleach and mix the solution thoroughly.
Cover plants with a plastic drop cloth to keep the bleach from splashing on the leaves and soil and damaging the garden areas around your bluestone.
Pour the bleach and water solution onto the leaf stains on the bluestone and let it sit for five minutes.
Scrub the stains with a medium bristled brush until the stains lift and fade.
Hose off the patio with clean water and let it dry completely.
Tips & Warnings
- Avoid using pressure washers on bluestone as the intensity of the water spray can penetrate the porous of the rock and affect the surface color and texture.
- Once you get the stains out of the bluestone, consider sealing it with a stone sealer to prevent further stains.
- Bleach is toxic, avoid contact with skin and eyes and wear protective clothing.
- Store bleach in a place where children and pets cannot get into the bottle.

Question #173: Should the Jets get Jay Cutler?
- March
- 23
So the Jets need a quarterback. That's pretty obvious. And the Broncos, who have a new coach in former Patriots coordinator Josh McDaniel, are apparently at least somewhat open to shopping Pro Bowler Jay Cutler since Cutler has said he doesn't believe he can play in Denver anymore.
Then in today's Daily News, there comes a report that the Jets have let to the Broncos know they're very interested in Cutler, if a deal is possible.
Thus the question: Is this the right move by the Jets? Is Cutler a good idea? Or do you not want him/think the Jets should stick with what they've got (which is, essentially, a competition between Brett Ratliff and Kellen Clemens)?
11:34 a.m., Sam says:
At first glance, Cutler seems like an obvious solution: The Jets don't have an established QB, Cutler could be available, ergo, get Cutler. But I'm not so sure it's the best idea.
Remember, simply adding Jay Cutler to the roster doesn't automatically make the Jets better. It sounds sort of elementary to say, but Cutler actually has to perform to his previous levels in New York to make the move a good one. And I'm not convinced that's what he'd do.
The way Cutler handled himself during the "Will the Broncos get Matt Cassell?" scenario smacked of insecurity and immaturity, two traits which don't often translate well to players in New York. Essentially, Cutler was mad that his team even considered the idea of getting another QB. He apparently was also mad that McDaniel, the new coach, overhauled the coaching staff (and, thus, offensive scheme) after taking over since Cutler says he'd been told by team executives that wouldn't happen.
Whatever. The bottom line is that quarterbacks need to have thick skins and deal with changing situations, and Cutler has shown himself to be a little too self-involved/rigid lately. How would he handle New York pressure and expectations?
Don't get me wrong, I think the Jets would be best-served by getting a new QB from somewhere (though their OL is strong enough that a weaker QB might survive). I just don't think Cutler would be able to come anywhere close to being as good in New York as he's been in Colorado.
First, sorry for the delay, Sam and all. I've been hopscotching all over the state the last few weeks and just up to my eyeballs in travel and work.
As for Cutler, let me just say this. If the Jets think either of their guys are better than Cutler — and I cannot believe they do — then they need to do everything they can to get Cutler. I don't care about his tantrum when this whole mess started. I don't care that he's a young version of Brett Favre in terms of that gunslinger, risk/reward mentality.
The most important position in football, of course, if quarterback, and getting a top quarterback is the most difficult task in the sport. This guy is young, has a cannon, and some experience. Why wouldn't you want him? How are the Jets better without him? I don't get it.
Me? I go get him.

Is Your Pet a Snow Bunny?
Even though having pets outside in freezing temps can be dangerous for long periods of times, many pooches enjoy a good pounce in the snow. North didn't make it to Tahoe this holiday weekend, but we hope to get up there soon. He's a tad undecided about the cold stuff; he likes to stay on stomped, semi-solid ground to sniff around the snowbank – unfortunately, he makes it his business to smell it, not to do his business in it. How about your pets?

1. Re: Best practice to create viewsJames_D Mar 21, 2013 7:46 PM (in response to drenda81)>
My questions:In choosing between 1 and 3 above, I think either is fine. Loading the FXML on demand every time will be slightly slower, but assuming you are not doing something unusual such as loading over a network connection it won't be noticeable to the user. Loading all views at startup and keeping them in memory uses more memory, but again, it's unlikely to be an issue. I would choose whichever is easier to code (probably loading on demand).
1- is a good practice reload every time the fxml to design the view?
2- is a good practice create every time a new Scene or to have an unique scene in the app and every time clear all elements in it and set the new view?
3- the views should be keep in memory to avoid performace issue or it is a mistake? I think that every time a view should be destroy in order to free memory.
In choosing between reusing a Scene or creating a new one each time, I would reuse the Scene. "Clearing all elements in it" only needs you to call scene.setRoot(...) and pass in the new view. Since the Scene has a mutable root property, you may as well make use of it and save the (small) overhead of instantiating a new Scene each time. You might consider exposing a currentView property somewhere (say, in your main controller, or model if you have a separate model class) and binding the Scene's root property to it. Something like:
Then your application can do this:
public class MainController { private final ObjectProperty<Parent> currentView ; public MainController() { currentView = new SimpleObjectProperty<Parent>(this, "currentView"); } public void initialize() { ... currentView.set(loadView("StartView.fxml")); } public ObjectProperty<Parent> currentViewProperty() { return currentView ; } // event handler to load View1: @FXML private void loadView1() { currentView.set(loadView("View1.fxml")); } // similarly for other views... private Parent loadView(String fxmlFile) { try { Parent view = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource(fxmlFile)); return view ; } catch (...) { ... } } }
This means your Controller doesn't need to know about the Scene, which maintains a nice decoupling.
@Override public void start(Stage primaryStage) { Scene scene = new Scene(); FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("Main.fxml")); MainController controller = (MainController) loader.getController(); scene.rootProperty().bind(controller.currentViewProperty()); // set scene in stage, etc... }

When Eric falls for the handsome Wilson on the subway, he doesn't know what he's in for. Because Wilson is also Nina, a rising drag star in The House of Light, and when a competing house calls a ball for midnight, Eric is drawn into battle. Part turf war, part pageant, all conquest, Wig Out! is a mesmerizing trip into the heart of African-American drag ball culture by way of Ovid, Jay-Z, and Destiny's Child. From the acclaimed author of The Brother/Sister Trilogy and Choir Boy comes a dazzling spectacle about the timeless desires to be desired, find your home, and dominate anyone who throws you shade.
I can't think of another recent play that deals as explicitly and compellingly with how erotic permutations define identity, in ways that both limit and liberate.

Male strippers are fucking ridiculous. Tremendously so. Now let me get out my dollars and shove them in their g-strings. Tipping the ridiculous is a radical cultural act. It's a statement that I want more bouncing bulges. I want more shiny chests and razor sharp abs and flexing, humping asses. I want to feel like I have my own own wind-up muscle doll.
I also want the almost entirely female audiences to totally not be there. But then that's part of the charm as it's their chance to objectify guys. And, let's face it, objectifying guys is a worthwhile pastime. Don't you agree? Plus it often makes them more interesting than they really are. Sometimes sticking with the fantasy is better than reality (even the well-worn stripper fantasies of cop, fireman, construction worker, football player, cowboy, nerdy English teacher with a tweed jacket that has elbow patches, skinny twinky American Apparel retail clerk who would do anything to earn money on the side to make ends meet, door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman).
Okay maybe those last few are just my fantasies. I mean, I want a door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman to demonstrate his product by creating obscene stains on my carpet then getting them out or making me get them out.
As for objectifying men, it's not just for the ladies anymore! That's right, you may not believe it, but guys look at guys. Including their crotches! Breaking news to you I'm sure. So let's ogle these vids. And then take a shower after to try and wash away the bizarre combination of sexiness and foolishness. I will admit one newly sprung interest from these. Male stripper dressing room attendant. I want their sweaty thongs. Want. Want. Want. Um, it's for an art project? I'm not going to jack off with them or anything. I'm classy.
Just like all the hot dancers at Stockbar (our top reviewed stripper site where live cameras show you the main stage plus the magic backstage where guys stroke before and after hitting the stage). Gotta look just right for your public!

I've already used this book with my students...beautiful illustrations and such a fun song! It is a great book for getting students calm after a less-than-calm activity!
This is one of my favorite songs. The illustrations are breathtaking, and I think this could be an awesome listening lesson for upper elementary!
This beautiful book is based off of Eric Whitacre's "Sleep." This video showcases Whitacre's virtual choir for the song...both the book and the video would make SUCH great listening lessons!
Such a great way to show how technology can be used to create and perform!
In this blog post, I wrote about one of my favorite dances, "Highway No. 1." This CD includes that track as well as many others from Russia, Netherlands, France, and more, as well as dance instructions for each!
I have had the same bee puppet for 15 years...so I thought I should buy a new one for "Bee Bee Bumblebee." So cute! A note, though: the fingers are really small (great for kids' hands, but hey, it works for me too, since my hands are also small!)
I will write about one more resource I'm super excited about very soon. Did you get a chance to shop at any recent conferences? What were your favorite purchases?
