|This is funny, but it could be a lot funnier. You have a number of parts that are laugh-out-loud hilarious, but there are also bits that are kind of a letdown.
For example, the lines "And you are sentenced to... 5 years in prison! Congratulations!" and "The system is vulnerable to corruption - a criminal (being a judge at the same time) would easily bribe themselves" are funny because they show how stupid the legal systems are, without outright stating it. They're unexpected and witty. But a lot of the time these lines aren't apparent. Most of the time, the article just states facts or points out the obvious. You make this amusing in many places, but it never amounts to anything really funny.
I think this is really important at the end of each system, when you really need a funny conclusion to each argument. For example, the entire article ends with the line 'Lynch mobs are often introduced in regions where the police cannot deal with crime properly.' This is not humorous, and not a very good conclusion to the article as a whole.
Don't get me wrong though, I found this article is very amusing and I liked it. It's just that there are a lot of chances for funny lines that seem wasted.
|This is a fantastic concept, but as I said, I think you could do a lot more with this.
|Prose and formatting:
|Well written, and good formatting. No complaints.
|The images are decent, but the only one that is actually funny is the 'dice' one. The others could do with similar, funnier, captions.
|My overall rating.
|Final Score:
|As it stands, this is a strong article. I know it's featured, but I still believe it can be improved, and could be hilarious. But that's just my opinion.

Hammond hopes for shot at NFL
Published: Tuesday, December 25, 2012 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 24, 2012 at 6:14 p.m.
Despite a five-year career at Florida, Frankie Hammond Jr.'s highlight reel isn't long.
A couple of dynamic, game-changing plays against Tennessee and Bowling Green earlier this year are his only lasting impressions as his final game as a Gator approaches. He willingly points out that he hasn't piled up many stats or broken any records.
But Hammond doesn't say those things with his head down. That's because Hammond had the luxury of playing alongside several other UF receivers with similar resumes who nonetheless made a career for themselves in the NFL.
"A guy like Deonte (Thompson), when he was here, his stats weren't 1,000 yards receiving and a whole bunch of catches, but he went about things the right way, and when the opportunities came he took advantage of them," said Hammond, who graduated with a degree in telecommunication this fall. "When he got to the next level, he just made the best of it and he made an NFL roster, so it's just all about staying positive. You do everything right and in return, you'll get paid back. That's how I look at it, and I just keep working and hope for the best."
Thompson (Baltimore Ravens), Louis Murphy (Oakland Raiders), Riley Cooper (Philadelphia Eagles) and David Nelson (Buffalo Bills) are other unheralded Gator receivers during Hammond's time who have found a place in the pros.
Offensive coordinator Brent Pease points out Hammond is coachable, a quality he shares with that group that gives him a chance to follow in their footsteps.
"Frankie's a solid kid, works hard, smart, he understands things, and I respect the work he's put in," said Pease, who also praised Hammond's leadership as the lone senior receiver. "I respect the opportunity that he's taken advantage of in playing this year and making some big plays for us. You can use him as a kid that you can put out there, coach him up once, and he's going to understand how you want it done."
Hammond's season hasn't gone as planned, and the same can be said about the rest of the receivers. However, Pease and quarterback Jeff Driskel see extra motivation during bowl practices from the unit before it faces the Big East's top pass defense in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 2.
Fresh off of what they accomplished against the nation's top defense, Hammond and the rest of the much-maligned receiving corps have found some confidence.
"We just executed," Hammond said. "At the end of the day, guys made plays when they arrived and took advantage of the opportunities, whereas before, we probably didn't take the opportunity and they'd come through with the plays. But FSU we were locked in and we executed."

Today we're pulling up a chair — i.e., grabbing a seat on the couch in front of the TV — for a virtual pre-Super Bowl party hosted by Food Network (#pullupachair). To spice up this all-American game day with a little international flair, we're bringing Ching-He Huang's take on sliders, made with Asian-style sweet and sour pork meatballs. Easy to eat and packed with flavor, these two-bite snacks do the pigskin tradition proud.
Ching's Sweet and Sour Pork Sliders
For Meatballs:
1 pound lean ground pork
1 tablespoon grated garlic
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon Shaohsing rice wine or dry sherry
1 heaping teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 scallion, finely chopped
Pinch sea salt
Freshly ground white pepper
Peanut oil, for frying
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1 tablespoon peeled and grated ginger
1 cup hoisin sauce
3 tablespoons honey
16 slider buns or Hawaiian-style sweet rolls
Shredded romaine lettuce
Cucumber slices
Cherry tomatoes, halved
Make the Meatballs:
In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the pork, garlic, soy sauce, rice wine, cornstarch, sesame oil, garlic, egg, scallion, salt and pepper. Divide the mixture into 8 portions and form 8 meatballs; set aside.
Fill a wok or large pot halfway with peanut oil. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F over medium-high heat. If frying in a wok, make sure that the wok is stable on a burner or wok ring.
Fry the meatballs until golden brown and cooked through (an instant-read thermometer should read 165 degrees F), 5 to 7 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and let drain on paper towels.
Make the sauce:
Carefully transfer the oil to a heat-proof container and wipe out the wok. Heat the wok over high heat and add the peanut oil. Stir-fry the ginger for 30 seconds, and then stir in the hoisin sauce and honey. Bring to a simmer, and then cook for 1 to 2 minutes. If the sauce becomes too thick, stir in a little water to thin it out. Return the meatballs to the wok and toss them in the sauce to coat.
Assemble the sliders:
Layer the bottom of the buns with shredded lettuce and a couple cucumber slices. Cut the meatballs in half and place half the meatball, cut-side down, on the bottom bun. Add the top bun. Skewer half a cherry tomato with a sandwich pick and insert into the slider to hold it together. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches.

Supportive Care of the Patient With Advanced Pancreatic Cancer
Supportive Care of the Patient With Advanced Pancreatic Cancer
Despite advances in therapy, the average survival rate at 5 years for any patient diagnosed with pancreatic cancer remains only 6%. Throughout the course of cancer, most patients suffer a significant symptom burden and will need numerous interventions targeting these concerns. This paper highlights the most significant problems faced when caring for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer and provides an evidence-based approach to management. In addition, this review summarizes data on the health-related quality of life associated with current antineoplastic strategies, as well as critical issues facing patients and families along the disease trajectory. To provide optimal, appropriate care for patients with advanced-stage pancreatic cancer, ongoing assessment of their quality of life and of their preferences for treatment towards the end of life is crucial.
Pancreatic cancer represents only 3% of cancer diagnoses in the United States, with an estimated 43,920 new cases diagnosed in 2012, yet it remains the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths, with an estimated 37,390 deaths in the same year.[1] Despite the availability of newer and better antineoplastic combinations, the 5-year survival rate for all stages of pancreatic cancer remains dismal at 6%.[1] Although the time before death may be limited, pancreatic cancer patients suffer an average of 11 significant symptoms directly attributable to the disease[2]; oncologists thus have a host of escalating challenges to address quickly and effectively. The daunting survival statistics for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer (APC) demand a thoughtful approach, with a prioritization of quality of life from the day of diagnosis, not just in the final days to weeks of life. This paper provides an evidence-based review of the most common and concerning symptoms and complications that occur in patients with late-stage pancreatic cancer.
Venous Thromboembolism
The incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) is four- to seven-fold higher in pancreatic cancer than in other common adenocarcinomas.[3] The likelihood of VTE is highest during the first 3 months after diagnosis of pancreatic cancer[4,5]; treatment with chemotherapy further increases the risk of VTE in APC.[6] Compared to hypercoaguable patients without concurrent malignancy, cancer patients are four times more likely to develop recurrent thromboembolic complications and twice as likely to have major bleeding with anticoagulation.[7,8] In addition to this increase in morbidity, the presence of VTE is associated strongly with higher mortality,[3,5,9] especially if a clot is discovered within 6 weeks of the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.[9]
Given the significant morbidity and mortality associated with VTE in APC, investigators have evaluated the use of prophylactic low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) to reduce the incidence of clots. In a prospective, randomized controlled trial of 312 patients with APC, prophylactic enoxaparin was given with concurrent gemcitabine. Compared to placebo, enoxaparin reduced the number of symptomatic VTEs by 8.6% at 3 months and by 10.1% at 12 months. The LMWH was well tolerated, without any significant increase in major bleeding.[10] Another study randomized 123 patients with APC to receive gemcitabine with or without concurrent dalteparin (Fragmin) in a blinded fashion. The risk of symptomatic or incidental VTE was reduced by 85% for the first 100 days and by 58% for the median follow-up of 19.3 months. Higher rates of minor bleeding or bruising were observed in the dalteparin arm (9% vs 3%); however, the occurrence of severe hemorrhagic complications was not significant.[5] Neither study demonstrated a survival advantage with prophylactic LMWH, although the studies were insufficiently powered for this endpoint.
LMWH prophylaxis may be useful for preventing serious morbidity associated with thrombosis in APC patients, particularly in the highest-risk patients. However, the current literature does not yet show improved survival with empiric therapy. The results of current and future studies to evaluate cost and quality of life will be important factors in deciding the utility of prophylaxis in an individual patient. For now, thromboprophylaxis should not be routinely prescribed outside of a clinical trial. The standard of care for patients with APC remains early initiation of LMWH after the identification of thrombus, with life-long continuation.[7,11]
The majority of patients with APC have pain at the time of diagnosis, and appropriate analgesia is a critical longitudinal component of care. Although pain management follows the model of the World Health Organization (WHO) three-step ladder,[12] many patients with APC require a multidisciplinary approach, including consultations with interventionalists, palliative care providers, and sometimes radiation oncologists. Procedures aimed at blocking the pain signals transmitted along the celiac plexus have been shown to diminish both the need for opioids and the incidence of opioid-related adverse effects.
Celiac plexus neurolysis (CPN) can be performed surgically, percutaneously under image guidance, or endoscopically with ultrasound guidance. Partial or complete pain relief is achieved in 70% to 90% of patients who are treated with CPN.[13] If pain is prominent at presentation, the evidence supports performing CPN at the time of diagnosis, during either exploratory surgery or initial endoscopy (in the latter case, under ultrasound guidance).[13] In common clinical practice, CPN tends to be reserved for patients refractory to opioids or those suffering a disproportionate level of toxicity, such that an opioid-sparing approach is desired.[13]. However, the evidence supports earlier use of CPN. CPN decreases the average use of morphine by 40 to 80 mg per day per patient and results in significantly decreased rates of constipation. Although the duration of pain relief with initial CPN is only 2 to 3 months, this improvement makes a clinical difference to most patients with APC.[14] There are a few studies evaluating the merit of repeat CPN with recurrent pain.[15] The largest of these suggests that repeat injections provide relief in 29% of cases, with only half the durability of response compared to the first procedure.[16] Further study of the intervention in this clinical setting is needed.
Malignant Biliary Obstruction
Biliary obstruction occurs in 70% to 90% of patients with pancreatic cancer but is most commonly associated with pancreas head tumors. Biliary obstruction adversely impacts patients' quality of life,[17,18] causing cholangitis, malabsorption, pruritus, and ultimately hepatic failure.[17,19] In most cases, symptoms resolve with relief of the obstruction, which is most easily achieved if an endoscopic biliary stent can be placed. Refractory cases may benefit from either surgical bypass or an external drain placed under percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC), although these procedures should be performed in a minority of cases and only after careful consideration of the overall medical picture.
Endoscopic stenting is technically and clinically successful in the majority of patients (88%) with extrahepatic biliary obstruction caused by pancreatic cancer.[20] This approach results in less morbidity, fewer complications, and shorter hospital stays compared to the more invasive approaches.[18,20] Occlusions occur less frequently with metallic stents than with plastic ones (31% vs 87%),[20] and even less often with those made of covered metal (3%).[21] Median patency for plastic stents is 2.5 months,[20] thereby necessitating routine stent exchanges every 3 months to prevent biliary sludging and cholangitis. Alternatively, uncovered metal stents tend to remain patent for an average of 6 months[20]; covered metallic stents maintain a 97% patency rate at 12 months.[21] Cholangitis is a life-threatening emergency and occurs in 30% of patients with biliary stents. Treatment includes immediate antibiotics with an emergent stent change to avoid sepsis or hepatic abscess formation.[18] Given concerns about immunosuppression from chemotherapy or radiation, patients expected to undergo neoadjuvant therapy do best with metallic stents to minimize the risk of life-threatening complications.[22]
When endoscopic stent placement has failed, biliary stenting by PTC is an option, although the prognosis following placement of a transhepatic stent for malignancy is markedly poor even if adequate biliary drainage is achieved.[19] In a group of patients requiring biliary drainage via PTC, almost half of whom had pancreatic cancer, significant morbidity and high complication rates (62%) were reported. An average of 2.4 procedures were required in order to achieve adequate biliary drainage, with a mean hospital stay of 42 days (range: 0−188 days). The 30-day mortality was 43%, which likely reflects the overall severity of the patients' illness, probably the result of intrahepatic metastases.[19] Although PTC biliary drainage aims to reduce the level of systemic bilirubin, this intervention rarely improves length or quality of life[23] and only adds more complications if a patient is able to receive systemic chemotherapy. Instead, a discussion regarding overall expectations in the face of terminal hepatic dysfunction is often most appropriate.
Malignant Gastric Outlet Obstruction
Bowel compression or invasion by pancreatic cancer results in gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) and requires urgent intervention for optimal palliation of intractable vomiting. Approximately 26% of patients with pancreatic cancer develop GOO over the course of the disease.[20,24] The objectives of treatment are to relieve vomiting, reestablish oral intake if possible, and ultimately improve both the length and quality of a patient's life.[25] A self-expanding metallic enteral stent can be used to palliate symptoms, with faster return of oral intake post-procedure compared to surgical gastroenterostomy.[24] Enteral stents result in fewer immediate complications than gastroenterostomy and are often preferred by patients.[24] There is a 15% risk of re-obstruction of the stent; nonetheless, this remains the preferred option in most patients with APC.[20,26] Palliative surgical interventions are reserved for select patients with excellent performance status, minimal burden of cancer, and a longer expected prognosis.[25] Unfortunately, prognosticating is difficult; thus, most patients undergo enteral stent placement for immediate results, with an expected stent patency of 6 months.[20]
Pancreatic Exocrine Insufficiency
Pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI) occurs in 80% to 90% of patients with pancreatic cancer.[27] PEI causes nonspecific symptoms, such as abdominal cramping and maldigestion,[28] and simultaneously worsens any weight loss from cancer-related anorexia and cachexia. PEI occurs in patients after surgery, after radiation, or as a result of compression of a primary tumor left in situ. Given its high incidence in APC, diagnostic testing for PEI is not necessary. Patients should be treated empirically and followed clinically for improvement in symptoms and weight gain. Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy is critical to relieve abdominal symptoms[28] and to reverse ongoing weight loss.[29] A starting dose of 40,000−75,000 IU pancreatic lipase should be given with meals and 20,000−25,0000 IU with snacks.[28] A low pH irreversibly inactivates pancreatic lipase, so supplements should never be taken on an empty stomach. Patients can take the enzymes throughout the meal for optimal mixing with any food bolus.[29] Many patients note reduced symptoms, with less urgent stools and decreased flatulence and abdominal cramping.
Clinical treatment failures are almost always the result of underdosing of replacement enzymes or patient noncompliance with timing of the medication. An increase in enzyme dose and careful re-education on the timing of medication are usually effective interventions. In addition, gastric acid suppression with either an H2 blocker or a proton-pump inhibitor clearly prevents the inactivation of enzymes[28,29] and improves the efficacy of enzyme replacement therapy, resulting in superior weight gain. PEI, with its nonspecific symptoms, is poorly recognized in this population of patients. Fortunately treatment offers an opportunity to improve nutritional status and quality of life dramatically.
Cancer-Associated Anorexia-Cachexia Syndrome
Cancer-associated cachexia is observed in up to 80% of pancreatic cancer patients at the time of diagnosis.[30] The weight loss and muscle wasting result from an inappropriately accelerated catabolic rate with systemic inflammation and profound anorexia. This syndrome, called cancer-associated anorexia-cachexia syndrome (CACS), includes altered taste perception, weakness, early satiety, nausea, and a loss of appetite despite profound weight loss.[30,31] Marked protein wasting is a hallmark of CACS and results in functional impairment with decreased quality of life.[30] CACS is an independent risk factor for mortality and poor therapeutic response to antineoplastic agents regardless of cancer stage.[30] Unfortunately, death is almost inevitable when patients lose 30% of their premorbid weight.[32]
In CACS, weight gain is associated with improved physical function and quality of life. Initially, patients, family, and care teams focus on oral intake with high-calorie, protein-rich foods and supplements, with mixed success. There is significant evidence that megestrol acetate improves appetite and results in modest weight gain; however, the slightly increased risk of thrombosis has limited its practical use.[33] In certain patients, parenteral nutrition may stabilize weight loss and nutritional status,[30] but this approach should only be considered after a careful discussion about prognosis, expectations, and parameters for cessation of therapy.
Beyond the current approach of megestrol and increased caloric intake, compounds that reverse CACS by calming inflammatory cytokines and altering catabolism are promising. In a small study, orally administered omega-3 fatty acids, specifically eicosapentaenoic acid, reversed weight loss but failed to result in a definite improvement in patient-reported quality of life.[34] Because tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α has been identified as a mediator in CACS, preliminary clinical studies show that thalidomide attenuates weight loss significantly in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer,[32] although the drug has not been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for this indication. In a randomized trial in patients with gastrointestinal cancers, combined therapy with megestrol acetate, thalidomide, and olanzapine increased lean body mass and halted weight loss significantly.[35] Many promising pathways to treating CACS are under investigation; these are summarized in Table 1.[36]

Dating Don'ts: How To Tell Dates From Non-Dates
So, I've still been thinking a lot about the New York Times' assertion that courtship has kicked the bucket. I jotted down some thoughts about that. You can read them here. One point that the piece makes that I agree with is that lots of daters out there — men and women both — are unclear about the difference between a date and a non-date. Let's review a few "dating experiences" cited in the piece…
30-year-old Shani Silver got asked out on a "date," but didn't hear from the guy until 10p.m. when he texted her and said: "Hey, I'm at Pub & Kitchen, want to meet up for a drink or whatever? … I'm here with a bunch of friends from college."
"I don't like to take girls out. I like to have them join in on what I'm doing — going to an event, a concert," says anonymous dude.
25-year-old Lindsay recalled a "non-date" where after an evening when she exchanged flirtatious glances with a bouncer at a Williamsburg nightclub, the bouncer invited her and her friends back to his apartment for whiskey and boxed macaroni and cheese.
34-year-old blogger Anna Goldfarb complained that she frequently receives the "typical, annoying … last-minute: 'Is anything fun going on tonight?'"
29-year-old Cheryl Yeoh "said that she has been on many formal dates of late — plays, fancy restaurants. One suitor even presented her with red roses. For her, the old traditions are alive simply because she refuses to put up with anything less. She generally refuses to go on any date that is not set up a week in advance, involving a degree of forethought."
Yeah, there's some definite confusion here. I don't have a clue as to how to solve our socio-cultural dating problems. There's not much I can do to revive courtship. But I sure as hell can clarify the difference between a date and a non-date.
Let's review. Below, the breakdown of a date vs. a non-date and what you should expect from both:
The Characteristics Of A Date:
1. Someone asks someone out in advance. It doesn't matter who does the asking, or how, but someone does it. And more than 30 minutes in advance. Let's say at least 24-hours in advance just to be safe. There is an agreed up day and time for said date. Maybe there are no exact plans until the day of, but you know that on Thursday night after work you and Joe or you and Jane are going to spend time together. That's a date.
2. You go somewhere. It doesn't matter who plans it. If Joe comes up with a plan or if you do or if you and Jane collaborate, but you plan to do something together. This could be as simple as getting a cup of coffee, or it could be as elaborate as taking a flying trapeze lesson. I did that on a date once. Really fun!! IMO, a date must include a shared activity for it to be a date.
3. You are alone, just the two of you. Unless it's a polyamorous type of situation, or you agreed upon it in advance, there should only be two people on the date. Not the two of you and his college buddies. Just you and him or you and her being alone together doing something at an agreed upon time. That's a date!
What You Can Expect Of A Date:
Well, not much really, I'm sad to say. People can be weird. But I think it's safe to expect that when going on a date both of you are there to see whether or not a romantic connection exists between you. That's about all.
The Characteristics Of A Non-Date:
1. Hanging out happens spontaneously, or last minute. No one asked anyone. You had not planned to be together, but rather ended up together. You met at a club in Williamsburg. You ran into each other at a party. You got a late-night text asking, "Sup?" And now you are together.
2. There are more than two people. If he invited you and all your friends back to his place for some whiskey and mac n' cheese, it's most definitely a non-date. I once found myself on a date that turned into a non-date the minute he told me all of his friends were meeting us at the concert. I went home pretty soon after that.
3. You've don't leave the person's apartment or dorm room. If the plan for your date was to go over to one of your places and cook dinner and watch a movie, fine. But if you are invited over to someone's place to hang out and don't leave or do anything, that's a non-date.
4. It's presented as a professional exchange. If colleague/co-worker/friend asks you to get together to talk business, that's a non-date. It could turn into a date if both people want it to turn into a date, but it's not presumed. You are there to talk about business until notified otherwise.
What You Can Expect Of A Non-Date:
Nothing. Seriously. Nada. You should not assume that there is any romantic future awaiting you on your non-date. Could romance evolve? Sure. But really, don't expect it. More likely scenarios to evolve from a non-date scenario: hookups, FWBs, friendships, work connections.
I am committed to making sure we're not confusing dates and non-dates here. So, let me know if I missed anything.

Retired Navy Cmdr. Troy Johnson doesn't a mind a bit that it was only after leaving the Navy that he got promoted to captain and placed in command of his own ship.
He's a little surprised, though, that those two things came as he pursued a new career in the performing arts.
"I had always loved performing in high school and college, but I knew I wasn't going to go to Hollywood and really make a go of it as a starving actor," he says.
After a 22-year career piloting helicopters in the military, Johnson says his primary goal when he left the service four years ago was finding a job that would both be fun and help him reconnect to that lifelong love of entertaining.
Shortly after retiring in 2009, Johnson saw his opportunity to have his own stage in an unlikely place: the rolling — and floating — tour vehicles known simply as "the ducks."
Officially dubbed the DUKW, the World War II-era amphibious landing craft are basically big, floating trucks designed to deliver troops from ship to the shore. The duck fleet saw combat duty from North Africa through Europe and into the Pacific. During the Normandy invasion, with the enemy holding all the major ports, ducks carried 18 million tons of supplies ashore for three months following the initial landing.
In more recent years, however, they have found new life as the tourist-town assault vehicle of choice in more than a dozen cities across the country from Washington, D.C., to Seattle.
Johnson says he was immediately taken with the way Seattle's "Ride the Ducks" tour operators deliver the fun. That's not just as driver and captain of the ducks, but also as the tour's sole "performer," providing an 1 ½ hour road-and-water show that is typically equal parts comedy routine and music review, with healthy splashes of history lecture and travel tips.
"As duck captains, we're entertaining — we tell jokes, we play music and we're highly informative about the city. People are going to have fun, learn some things and be interactive. And then, of course, there's the thrill factor of driving off of land directly into the water."
As part of his audition for the job, Johnson had to memorize at least 130 trivia tidbits about Seattle.
"When you start training, they give you a script that lays out all the points of interest along the route and some funny comments. After two weeks, you start to improvise and create your own show."
He even gets a stage name. When driving his duck, Johnson is known as "Beau Dayshus."
All drivers must complete a more than six-week training course that includes earning a 25-ton merchant marine captain's license from the Coast Guard before becoming "fully duck boat qualified."
In some ways, Johnson says, it can be a lot like flying in the Navy.
"You come in in the morning, walk into the shop and check out the board to see what duck you've been assigned to, similar to finding out which aircraft you're going on. You do a pre-flight, go underneath the duck, doing about a 20-point inspection on it, just like you would on an aircraft. And then away you go."
He says camaraderie among drivers, maintainers and support staff "is also very similar to what we had back in the squadron."
The driving itself has similarities as well.
"Driving a duck boat is a lot like taxiing an aircraft on a rough runway. On land, it's kind of bumpy and you're feeling the ground, but then once you go into the water it's like lifting off and everything gets really calm and smooth. It has that same kind of transitional feel to it," Johnson says.
But it's the performing that he really loves. And that's nothing like anything he did in the Navy.
"I love coming to work. You get to interact with these folks, dance, sing, tell jokes and it just fits my personality. So it's the perfect job, especially for those who have a need to perform or like being out front."
The pay is not bad, either.
"They pay us well," he says. After four years, he's drawing about $20 an hour in base pay, plus often double that in tips.
"If you're a really good captain, you can make enough in, say, six months that if you want to take the next six months off, and you plan accordingly, you can probably do that."
Meanwhile, that kind of flexible schedule has allowed him to pursue more traditional performing roles.
He's landed leading parts in several major Seattle productions, including the musicals "Rent" and "Chicago."
Now he's hoping to combine his experience in planning, logistics and travel in the Navy with his more recent performing roles to get a job as a guide for Adventures by Disney.
"Disney takes groups of 30 to 40 people on tours around the world, and they need two guides per group to lead the group and plan entertainment." He says the six-month contracts as guides are highly competitive, but "I think all my experience comes together pretty well for this Disney dream job."
Whether or not he gets that job, he says he'll keep on trucking — and floating — as a duck captain.
"That's the goal, just to keep having fun," he says. "If I can avoid a 9-to-5 desk job for the rest of my time out of the military, I am one happy camper."

PITTSBURGH (AP) Its happened so many times, its happened with so many people, the Cincinnati Reds almost expect it every time they trail in the ninth inning.
A ball somehow falls in, keeping the inning going. A slumping hitter contributes a key base hit. The opposing pitcher makes a mistake. Suddenly, a seemingly certain loss has turned into yet another comeback victory.
You keep doing that, it gives you confidence, manager Bob Boone said following the latest comeback, a 4-3 victory over Pittsburgh on Wednesday night. It seems like we keep saving it until the end.
The end was near countless times in the ninth inning before the Reds pulled out their 21st victory in their final at-bat, the most in the majors. Pirates closer Mike Williams was twice within a strike of closing it out, and four of the Reds five hits in the inning came with two strikes.
All these comebacks, and its somebody different every time, Boone said. Were not just relying on one guy. Thats what makes it special.
For the Pirates, thats what makes it frustrating.
On Tuesday, it was former Pirates outfielder Jose Guillens go-ahead two-run homer in a comeback eighth inning as the Reds rallied to win 5-3.
This time, it was a two-out single by rookie Ray Olmedo that got it going, followed by a tying double by Reggie Taylor, who was in a 4-for-30 slump. Barry Larkin won it with a run-scoring bloop single into right field.
The Reds have trailed in 61 of their 82 games, but are 19-9 in one-run games and 28-15 in games decided by two runs or fewer.
It came down to the last strike, to the last out, Reds starting pitcher Paul Wilson said. It was exciting. It makes you believe. Its fun.
For Pirates starter Kip Wells, it was another cant-win night. He limited the Reds to two runs in eight innings, yet remained winless in 13 starts in PNC Park since June 26, 2002.
Wells 3.47 ERA is easily the best of the Pirates starting pitchers, but he has 10 no-decisions in 15 starts.
The Pirates took a 3-2 lead into the ninth after Wells was lifted, yet it was a dangerous combination: a pitcher who often flirts with failure and an opponent that never feels like its out of a game.
Williams was an NL All-Star reliever last season, but already has as many blown saves (four) as he did while getting 46 saves last season. His ERA is up to 6.03.
Afterward, Williams was so disappointed, he kept talking about the mistake he made by walking Olmedo, even though the rookie got a hit.
You feel bad for Kip, you feel bad for everybody. I feel bad for myself, Williams said. Its hard on an entire team to lose like this.

YouTube and Flash Platform (AS3) Integration
Something we've struggled with for some time at the University of Denver Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) is the full integration of YouTube videos within our rich media tools such as those found within the CourseMedia™ ecosystem. Traditionally, this has been not altogether possible as previous versions of the YouTube Chromeless Player were ActionScript 2 based and so were isolated in a separate Flash Player virtual machine (VM) in any of our ActionScript 3 based tools. There are ways of setting up a proxy and transferring messages between the two VMs through that proxy- but it is messy, includes too much overhead, and is nowhere near ideal. We ended up just opening YouTube content within a browser window- not at all integrated into our systems.
A few days ago, however, Google released an AS3 based Chromeless Player. Using the new player API, we were able to not only effectively integrate seamless YouTube videos within our normal display mechanisms, but were provided the flexibility of hooking full YouTube control functionality into our existing controls for native system content. The result being that the user experiences a YouTube video in the exact same way that they would expect to experience a native system video. This greatly improves the user experience and effectively adds the entire public YouTube video library as potential course material.
A quick overview video of how we've used this to enhance a few CourseMedia™ tools is presented below:

Hermit crabs serve a very valuable purpose in household aquariums; as scavengers, they enjoy feeding off of algae and organic debris that might otherwise cloud the water or detract from the tank's appearance. However, they do still require a regular source of nutritious food. As they have adapted to their roles as scavengers, the variety of foods hermit crabs can consume is large, ranging from fruits to vegetables to cooked meat (without preservatives). Pre-formulated pellet food is an ideal feeding source, as it provides proper nutritional balance and ease of use. When properly fed and cared for, certain hermit crabs can survive as pets for years, if not decades!Pet Mountain's Hermit Crap Food store features top quality crab foods from the most trusted names in the aquarium care industry, including the San Francisco Bay Company, Zoo Med, Hikari and HBH Pet Products. Brine Shrimp Eggs from San Francisco Bay Brands come from the company's FDA certified solar salt ponds in the San Francisco Bay Area. These ponds are known for being rich in algae and diatoms, and yield brine shrimp eggs with high levels of essential amino acids and pigments. San Francisco Bay Brine Shrimp Hatch Mix comes with three packs of hatch baby brine shrimp for baby fish and reef tanks. Shrimp Hatch Mix is pre-measured and mixed with both the brine shrimp eggs and salt. Ready for you to get started on your own hatching. Hatch mix uses "Epsom salt" and rock salt to help buffer the water. For a simpler meal, try Zoo Med Hermit Crab Pellets. These pellets make a perfect food for all land-type hermit crabs. Hermit crabs are scavengers in nature, and eat a variety of foods. Zoo Med moist canned Hermit Crab Food and Repti Cricket are also excellent foods to supplement your hermit crab's diet.

text: I'm with Bob on this one. A remote thermometer is the best way to go for big chunks of meat done low and slow. Just don't use them at higher temps as they'll burn out (from someone who's done just that). If you want to spend a little extra cash, the wireless models are nice. There are a couple of different brands out there and a few of them have two probes. That makes it nice for monitoring both the meat temp and the grill temp.

Since I seem to be feeling rather talkative today, I figured I'd post a bit on the latest little bit of geekery I committed this week. All noted configuration file examples can be downloaded from here.
I've had a Cisco 7970 running SCCP firmware in the lab for a little, but suddenly it lacked a Cisco CallManager box to talk to when I shipped out some test gear. The 7970 is simply a gorgeous phone (although the SIP code could use some help) and I have a deep-seated requirement to use a cool piece of hardware whenever possible, I decided to hook that phone up to my Broadvoice SIP account instead of my Zyxel 2000W V2 WiFi SIP phone. Theoretically, it should have been simple -- Broadvoice offers a TFTP server for Cisco 7940 and 7960 phones, so it should just be a matter of telling the phone where to find a config file and voila.
Not so.
The 7970 changed all the rules of Cisco IP phone configurations. The new config format is XML, versus the prior variable=value style configuration. This presented a problem. I could take some time and whack away using guessed values for the phone's configuration until I was able to peer with my Broadvoice account, or I could set up an Asterisk system in the lab to switch that phone and the Zyxel, and peer with Broadvoice for outbound calling.
It certainly wasn't as simple as it should be, but it's all working -- well, most of it. At the moment, if a call comes into the SIP line, both phones (extensions) ring as they should given the call group configuration. The Cisco phone, however, never stops ringing. If left unanswered, it will bleat until someone gets annoyed enough to "answer" the non-existent call. I haven't fleshed that bug out yet, but then, I've spent a total of two hours on this since Tuesday, so I'll consider myself ahead of the game.
There's lots of bits and pieces of 7970 information floating about on the Internet. Kerry Garrison's excellent Cisco 7970 tutorial was brief, but formed the kernel of the working configuration I now have. Configuration file hacking on the 7970 isn't all it's cracked up to be. I've found several interesting tidbits supporting this, such as the fact that the phone will not error noticeably during boot when it fails to parse a configuration file pulled from the TFTP server, it will just use the last config file it had. This gets interesting, since it fails to correctly parse an XML configuration file where the <phoneLabel> tag contains a value with a space character in it. Apparently, you can only name your phone Cher, Prince, or Twiggy. When this occurs, the phone does pull the file from the TFTP server, so packet sniffing will still show the file transfer, but there's no quick way of knowing if the phone is running from a cached or current config. Also, apparently some phones and/or firmware revs will request files with different capitalization from the TFTP server at boot. XMLDefault.cnf.xml, XmlDefault.cnf.xml and xmlDefault.CNF.XML may appear similar to the casual observer, but they're very different files.
I really like the 7970, though. The voice quality is superb, and it just looks fantastic on a desk, but the SIP firmware needs some polish, including a functional message waiting light. Since Cisco isn't so interested in keeping up with the SIP firmware vs. their proprietary SCCP version, that might take awhile.
But back to my PBX build. I downloaded Trixbox 2.0 beta 1 at first, but had problems with the phone connecting to the assigned extension. Backing off to v1.2.3 with Asterisk v126.96.36.199 brought the phone up properly, but that was only after playing with different 7970 SIP firmware revs, settling on version 8.0.3. Trixbox is just dead easy. Download the CentOS-based ISO, install, log in. Beautiful.
Loading firmware on the 7970 is interesting, as the phone will always query a TFTP server at boot, and will load a new firmware image from the same server if the XML configuration file includes a version that the phone isn't running. It's a relatively odd way to do it, but it does work once you've figured out exactly what the phone wants to see in that file, and have determined that the Cisco firmware release .cop file is just a tar.gz. Toss everything in that file into your TFTP root, reference the version.loads file in the phone's XML configuration (without the .loads) and reboot the phone. It should update the firmware on the resulting boot.
So with the mix of Trixbox 1.2.3 running as a VM on a VMware Server host, and Cisco 7970 SIP firmware 8.0.3, I had a functional system. Now, all I needed was to connect with Broadvoice to seal the deal. They do provide instructions on their website for configuring Asterisk, but they appear to either be wrong or outdated. They're close, but not all the way there. My working sip.conf entry for Broadvoice is simple:
The registration line is too:
Their docs refer to an extension designation at the end of the registration string which is puzzling. Using the phonenumber/accountID does the trick. Also, they reference
context=from-broadvoice when it apparently should be
context=from-pstn to permit proper inbound calling to function. I'm not entirely sure of the background here, and my Asterisk experience is limited to the few hours I had this week, so I might be missing something.
When configured as a trunk via FreePBX or manually, this configuration should work -- it does for me. You may need to add the
pedantic=no to the top of sip.conf. Also, if you have a currently registered device with Broadvoice, you might want to leave it off for an hour or more before trying to peer with them from a new device or PBX to let the previous connection timeout. This is pure rumor to me at the moment, however. YMMV.
My working 7970 SIP configuration file, SEP0014DEADBEEF.cnf.xml, is based on Kerry Garrison's example with a few modifications, including NTP sync parameters. It references the 8.0.3 firmware rev in the <loadInformation> tag. Obviously, this file will need to be renamed to use your phone's MAC address.
All told, I'm a little unsure of where to take this from here. I can call between extensions, ring in and out from both, and I will probably add another Cisco phone, probably a 7960, to the mix shortly, but the future is slightly uncertain. I don't trust this setup enough to move production voice lines to it, especially with the little continuous ring problem, but it definitely works well enough for casual use at the moment. I spent 30 minutes chatting with InfoWorld Editor-in-Chief Steve Fox through it the other day and nearly an hour with Oliver Rist tonight, and the call quality was nearly perfect with no discernible lag or dropouts, which was a shame since I can only take so much of Oliver at one go. All this was with no QoS anywhere, least of all my egress points. Not bad at all.
Oh, and if you create a directory off the TFTP root named (at least on this rev) /Desktops/320x212x12 and toss in some .png files and a List.xml file referencing them, you can put custom backgrounds on your phone. Hip.

Are touchscreen monitors the way to go on boats? J.T., via e-mail
There are several different technologies currently used to make a screen touch-sensitive, but unfortunately each one seems to have some drawback for boating use. The most common (resistive) method cuts screen brightness by 15 to 25 percent, a real hit if that screen is also working hard to compete with sunlight. Another (capacitive) method is more transmissive (i.e., lets more light through) but won't work if you happen to have a glove on. All add expense and fragility to the displays, plus there's the issue of mucking them up with greasy or salty fingers.
However, there's no doubt that touchscreens can make software easier to use, especially if the software is set up with large buttons suitable to blunt fingertips. Charting programs can particularly benefit from a touch interface. A good example involves the way PC plotters can be set up to show more of the chart ahead of the boat and less behind. This is a terrific feature that makes better use of precious screen space and is thankfully coming to dedicated plotters (see the new Raymarine R435 on page 40). Still, you need to learn a new menu item, and the feature is rather inflexible, offsetting your vessel a fixed proportion. But on a touchscreen system where the software designers have made maximum use of the interface--seen on several of the better PDA charting products as well as the Sea Ray Navigator--you simply drag your vessel wherever you want it, and the chart will move under it. In other words, the feature is simultaneously much more powerful and easier to implement. That's what we want!
So I'm hoping that the engineers will figure out how to make touchscreens cheaper, tougher, and more light-transmissive so they'll work better on boats. I must add that I was recently disappointed to find out that the tablet computers being pushed so heavily these days are not as suitable to navigation as I first guessed. They use an "active digitizer" stylus, which has certain pluses for regular PC work but won't let you simply reach out and touch. Drat!

Outdated Hopkinton Bathroom?
★★★★★ - "Great painters"
Home Owner
★★★★★ - "Walter and team did a fantastic job painting our kitchen cabinets and updating the hardware. Their work is flawless and we're so pleased with the outcome!
Also, Walter painted two of our bedrooms (windows, trim, walls). They were wonderful and saved us from weekends of work away from our kids trying to do it ourselves.
Looking forward to hiring Torres Painting for more jobs in the future!"

The Crap We Missed – Monday 5.23.11
"I'm the luckiest girl in the world! WHEEEEEEEEE!"
Welcome to Monday's The Crap We Missed a.k.a. Zombie Edition. Seriously, there is no shortage of the undead in here, and I'm not just talking about people who just look like they legally should be declared dead, but also those whose careers have fled this earthly plane, never to be seen again. Wait, did I link that to Megan Fox? Because I meant to link that to Megan Fox.

TWENTY-five years after their son left Lechlade for an FA Cup tie at Hillsborough, Stan and Margaret Godwin will remember their son Derrick in a service at Anfield, Liverpool, today.
Nearly a week after reading a statement on Derrick at the Hillsborough Inquests in Warrington, Margaret and her family have travelled north west again for a grand service at Liverpool FC's home.
Margaret, 75, of Hambidge Lane, accepts she is not able to travel to Merseyside as often as she and Stan might wish, but the anniversary memorial is one they will never miss, 24 years after their first.
"We don't get to go to many matches, but our daughter Valerie is a season-ticket holder along with her husband Andrew," she said.
"When Derrick died Valerie took Liverpool into her heart and since then she and Andrew have taken over from him, supporting the club in his memory.
"The longer it's been since the disaster the more important it is for us to mix with the families because we've all lost someone.
"We don't know that many of them. We are not able to go to as many of the family meetings as we would like to because you have to stay overnight and it has been hard with time off work in the past.
"It's not easy, but obviously we wouldn't miss the anniversary."
Scarves from every club in the top four divisions of the English league will create a number 96 at Anfield as a sign of unity, the club has said.
The service at Anfield will see club officials, players and staff join with the relatives of those who died. Former players and managers and members of the wider Liverpool community will also be present.
The service will feature readings from both Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers and Everton boss Roberto Martinez.
The scarves, which will also include items from clubs around the world and those of the England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales national teams, were donated following an appeal by the club.
"It's quite a big event, there will be lots of people there. On the 20th anniversary there were 30,000 people there," said Margaret. "We are asked into the club lounges and called out, family by family, to sit in front of The Kop for the ceremony.
"It will be the usual practice: Abide with Me and You'll Never Walk Alone will be sung. The atmosphere will be like Sunday's match, which was astonishing.
"It seems the whole country and even the world knows what it's all about. It does help make you feel as though they are with you and going through it together."

Greetings to all security experts,
I wasn't sure if this was the appropriate place for this thread but figured I could find a few experienced members on this topic. If the mods feel like there is a better place for it please let me know.
I have been searching for encryption tools to securely and privately communicate with people around the world via the internet and smartphones. What I am specifically looking for is encrypted instant messaging, VOIP and smartphone apps that would allow two users to privately exchange text and data across the globe. Since most of these people live in oppressed countries, I would need something that is preferably open source and could provide strong encryption (Like AES 256, ZTRP and etc) to reduce the risk of being exposed by the government.
I have found several options on google but was wondering if anyone has experience using tools like these and suggestions for possible approaches. Also how vulnerable are these tools to attacks and what are the chances of them being cracked if the government would want to listen in or monitor the communications?

Well - I learned about Back-Track 4 yesterday, and I read up on a-lot of it (mostly based with the WEP/WPA/WPA2 wifi-based things) and i stumbled upon the SET article. Upon reading up on it - I wished to test out the whole Email w/ a bad link in it(Choice 2 when it's opened)
So I understand everything that has to happen - all but one part - the part where we use a port for the listener. (So I/whoever is doing/sending the link is the one who is the "listener") But where does this port come from?
And also - when i send the link where is the link derived from? ie: in this example, the person used the link http://192.168.X.XXX - is that MY IP(the "listeners")
And as for what happens when the person click's the link, how do i control that? like a sort of "on-demand" control. Would is be accessing the port i specified earlier to "listen"/"control" what happens (so i could be giving meterpreter commands.)
Example: I do all the things here and when the person clicks the link - I can hide the attack into explorer.exe or some other running process(sessions -i 1) and then i can hide it using migrate and the pid #.
Thanks everyone, I really want to test this out

Why can't I edit other relations. In all the people related to Kurenai Yūhi's Child, behind Kurenai Yūhi's Child it only says manga only, which makes it unclear what the relation is. For example the list for Hiruzen Sarutobi is: Sasuke Sarutobi (Father) Asuma Sarutobi (Son) Kurenai Yūhi's Child (Manga only) Biwako Sarutobi (Wife) Konohamaru Sarutobi (Grandson)
And when I read it I was like huh what child, he had a child with... huh. So it should say Kurenai Yūhi's Child (Grandchild, Manga only). But since I can't edit that part of the page I can't change it. So I would be very happy if someone would change it for me, or make it so I can change it myself. Femme-Elf (talk) 19:56, March 14, 2012 (UTC)
- The thing that fills in those relations is automatic. Since the gender of the child is unknown, the function cannot generate a gender-related relationship between those persons.--Cerez365™ 20:07, March 14, 2012 (UTC)
Hmm, I suppose there is a sort of master form in which all the options are added with the gender and stuff, if it's automatic. They should add child, grandchild, sibling and I guess niece/nephew when gender is unknown. It would make this a lot clearer. 188.8.131.52 (talk) 23:06, March 14, 2012 (UTC)

Filed under: Training
Hiking is a great form of exercise and a great way to get outdoors and enjoy some scenery—especially when getting ready for deployment to challenging terrain. If the weather outside is less than ideal, however, or the winter temperatures become too frigid, you may need to move your hiking indoors to a treadmill. Keep in mind that you might not be working as hard on a treadmill as you would be hiking outside at your regular pace. Hiking requires different, often heavier footwear and involves a more diverse, varied terrain, both of which require more energy than walking in sneakers on a treadmill. If you want the same benefits, your treadmill needs to be set to at least a 3% incline for any speed up to 3.1 miles per hour to be comparable to what you expend hiking outside. You can still train for that mountain trek in bad weather—you'll just need to make some slight adjustments. Happy trails…or treadmilling!

The thing about ice-cream, as any chef will tell you, is that it's a great carrier. That silky, creamy, refreshingly cold substance is one of the most seductive vehicles in the world to transport flavour molecules to our taste receptors. Gelato, being even lighter in texture, is even more enticing.
As a result, our favourite icy treats have become great carriers of trends. Salted caramel is on the up? It's turned into gelato before you can say "two scoops please". Chefs are falling in love with white chocolate and peaches, elderflower, or fennel pollen? Bingo, they're on a cone. Gorgonzola is trending? You'll be able to lick it by end of day.
There's an array of wild and wacky flavours that go way, way beyond vanilla and chocolate, and chart the past, present and future of gelato.
At Il Laboratorio del Gelato in New York City, popular flavours range from rose petal to cheddar cheese. Heather Bertinetti, pastry chef of New York's Marea restaurant, told the Wall Street Journal: "If it can be pureed, it can be made into a gelato flavour."
In Sydney, Gelateria Messina puts that statement to the test every day. If they want to make apple pie gelato, for instance, they actually bake an apple pie, then break it up and churn it, rather than trying to approximate the flavour from bottles of syrup.
Likewise, at the new N2 Extreme Gelato in Sydney's Chinatown, flavours range from banana and peanut crumble to Chinese cough syrup and buttered popcorn, using the genuine articles rather than a laboratory of chemicals.
Gorgonzola is trending? You'll be able to lick it by end of day.
The difference is that owner Min Chai uses liquid nitrogen to blast-freeze the infused flavours to order, so freshness is guaranteed.
But N2 Extreme Gelato is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to gelato technology. At renowned chef Ferran Adrià's beautiful Hacienda Benazuza just outside Seville in Spain (which he opened as a sort of archival restaurant for the late, great El Bulli restaurant, number one in the world for several years), gelato and ice-cream and ice all get turned upside down in the pursuit of technical innovation.
There is a deconstructed frozen, piña colada, a whisky sour ice block, and Adrià's ice ravioli, made by sandwiching a blob of corn caramel between two frozen, transparent sheets of apple water. When held up to the light, it looks like an x-ray of a ravioli. Placed on the tongue, it melts away into sweet nothingness. It's not ice-cream as we know it, but almost a scientific experiment on ice, held by a chef.
But who said ice-cream had to be sweet? Some top restaurants are now serving savoury ice-cream. There's Frank Camorra's smoked tomato sorbet perched on a salty Cantabrian anchovy, on a crisp croute of toast at MoVida (in both Melbourne and Sydney), and Tetsuya Wakuda's cheeky chilled pea soup with bitter chocolate sorbet at Tetsuya's in Sydney.
At Taxi Dining Room in Melbourne, Tony Twitchett tops oysters with baby scoops of ginger, pear and white balsamic sorbet, and Cory Campbell sends out Jerusalem artichoke ice-cream with crisps made of the same vegetable at Vue de Monde.
Alvin Leung, self-proclaimed "demon chef" at Hong Kong's Bo Innovation, recently created a Vegemite ice-cream in honour of the Margaret River Gourmet Escape food festival in Western Australia.
When I asked him if it was designed to be sweet or savoury, he simply answered "yes". The audience was receptive to the idea, but I wouldn't put any Hong Kong dollars on it going on his menu.
Savoury gelato might sound a bit cheffy, but it's a good thing to do at home. Gently float a refreshing cucumber sorbet, for instance, in a spicy, chilled gazpacho soup, or serve a spicy gazpacho sorbet with cucumber and mint on a hot summer's day. (Here's the recipe in case you feel inspired.)
Ice-cream can also be as much a carrier of national pride as flag-waving. Hence patriotic Singaporean gelato-maker Stanley Kwok of Island Creamery came up with a Tiger Beer sorbet and a teh tarik ice-cream inspired by the frothy "pulled tea" of the local Malay-Indian tradition.
In Tuscany, reports Conde Nast Traveller, Ignazio Morviducci of Gelateria Toscana in Siena, wanted to highlight the ingredients that represented his region. Hence pecorino and pear gelato, panforte gelato (mmm, yes please), and a richy-rich gelato made from the area's famous extra virgin olive oil.
Alas, we are coming to the melting, drippy, sticky end of this four-part series looking at the past, present and future of the art and craft of gelato.
We've looked at one Australian's lifetime of icecream, from rainbow-coloured icy-poles to dining on Heston Blumenthal's egg-and-bacon ice-cream; we've used "crowd-sourcing" to compile a list of the best gelato in Australia; and we've explored 20 different things to do with gelato at home.
Now we've time for one last story about this magical icy treat.
In 2011, Brits Neil Peacock, Craig Brewitt and Gordon Fleming, who had all worked in security in Kandahar, Afghanistan, where temperatures easily soar to 40 degrees celsius, pooled their money to buy a second-hand ice-cream van.
They air-freighted it to the danger zone, hired (very brave) staff, and sent it out on the streets in a move Neil Peacock called "sticking two fingers up the Taliban".
The van can deliver up to 9000 ice-creams in a single week. British and US troops pay more than a pound for a scoop on a cone, thereby subsidising the local kids, who get their ice-creams free. "The response has been phenomenal," said Neil Peacock in Britain's Sun newspaper. "Everyone smiles when the van rolls by."
And that's the magic of gelato, ice-cream and all things deliciously icy – licked by millions, but never beaten.
Gazpacho sorbet with cucumber and basil (serves 4)
A refreshing starter to a summer lunch or dinner, teamed here with cucumber and basil. This is also lovely served with avocado, rocket and walnuts – or dropped into a bloody mary.
- 75g caster sugar
- 150ml boiling water
- 500g ripe tomatoes
- 200ml tomato juice
- 2 tbsp picked basil leaves
- half tsp sea salt
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- dash of Tabasco
- half cucumber, stripe-peeled
- freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Bring the sugar and water to the boil, stirring. Boil for a further minute, then allow to cool. Roughly chop the tomatoes and whiz in a blender with the sugar syrup, tomato juice, half the basil leaves, salt, vinegar and Tabasco. Strain through a sieve to catch the seeds and skin.
Churn in an ice-cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions (usually about 20 minutes) until frozen, or freeze in a shallow container and stir to break up the crystals every hour for 3 hours. Store in the freezer, and transfer to the fridge for 10 minutes before serving, to soften slightly.
Slice the cucumber and scatter casually on each plate. Top with a scoop of gazpacho sorbet, drizzle with olive oil, scatter with pepper and basil leaves and serve.

Here I am again to bring you predictions that, while might not be right, but will be bold and that will be a big thing. At the royal rumble, I got 3/10....well, they are meant to be bold, so let us see what happens this time. So I bring to you 10 bold predictions for Wrestlemania 29
10. Cody Rhodes will begin to turn face
Like everyone else, I love me some Rhodes Scholars,
All this never-ending arguments between Cena fans vs haters... I just want to say this, because I'm tired of the stupid little jabs, and I wanna see what people say... In my case, is not about hating Cena the person, or the performer necessarily, but freshening things up is important in this business, and performers know well that they need to be careful and not become stale.
Out off all the matches i think that there will be 4 that could cause a major upset.
1: Jack Swagger Def Alberto Del Rio
this is unlikely due to the fact that swagger has still to serve his suspension for being caught under the influence but this is on off the matches that people are thinking is gonna be a walk in the park for Del Rio... anyway that's upset number 1
Good, bad, or indifferent I have been primarily a TNA fan for the last 2 years. I kept myself up on WWE through readings and YouTube clips but I have not watched more than 10 minutes of WWE programming since this passing Monday: the go-home show for WrestleMania. Even though I may not be as invested as many of you are in the current WWE product -- here it goes anyway.
A TNA Fan's Excitement
My thoughts on each match going in to WrestleMania
Well, we're 4 days a away from the spectacle that is WrestleMania! The event that constantly reminds us that our favorite "scripted" sport is still very much alive and well! It's time to breakdown this years show of shows, match by match!
--Pre-Show- INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP
Good Day All,
I hope we are all enjoying this, mediocre at best, road to wrestlemania. I am not bitter however and I will explain why. (PLEASE FEEL FREE TO LEAVE FEEDBACK)
Last years build for the Rock Vs. Cena 1 was way too weak with the twitter wars and barely any TV rivalry time. This year was a way better build up, and I actually am looking forward to the match this
Updated 04-06-2013 at 11:47 PM by VegasModman
To all my wrestling fans,
I am super excited for this Sunday's Wrestlemania, as everyone should be. Now, I know that the current match card has got a fair bit of criticism and that is fair, but it is still going to be an amazing show and we should all be grateful that we have such a grand stage in which to watch our beloved wrestling.
In saying that,
Hi there everyone, WrestleMania 29 is just a few days away and I am so excited to be watching it! This will be my 7th consecutive WrestleMania I'll be watching live and even though I've heard a lot of people say this is one of the worst card's ever, I still believe that some of the matches can definitely deliver in one way or another. Here are my predictions of what will happen Sunday:
The most talked about match year after year at Wrestlemania. The Streak. The biggest accomplishment in the history of this business. Sunday night, The Deadman goes 21-0 at the grandest stage of them all. Online betting websites have listed him as a 30-1 favorite in past years to win. With Wrestlemania 30 a year away, the big question is who, if anyone, will end the streak and make the Phenom rest
We are just days away from the "Show of Shows" as WrestleMania 29 invades MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Sunday, April 7th.
The "Granddaddy of them all" is highlighted by not one, not two, but three main event matches: The Rock vs. John Cena for the WWE Championship, CM Punk vs. Undertaker, and Triple H vs. Brock

President of the Cuban Islamic Union, Yahya Pedro, tells that he heard of Islam for the first time via the Muslims coming from Africa in 1966. Mr Pedro who became a Muslim with the help of a diplomat coming from Togo says for the construction of the first mosques, " With the help of Allah, with the construction of the mosque that the government of Cuba promised in May, there will be a wonderful spiritual shelter for the Muslims who seek the way of Islam.

There's something rotten in the state of e-tail – or so it seems. In the last week, both Kate Bostock, the old retail hand filched with great fanfare from M&S by ASOS.com, and Sarah Curran, the founder of My-Wardrobe.com, have left their respective e-ventures – both departures coming just after Aslaug Magnusdottir left her job as CEO of ModaOperandi.com, which she helped launch, last May. Three high-profile executives leaving three of the more successful (and established) fashion etailers in two months? This strike anyone else as weird?

God of Blades- Official Launch Trailer from White Whale on Vimeo.
A love-song to pulp fantasy tales of yore, 70s synth-prog-landscape oddities, and forgotten places, God of Blades is a gorgeous, visceral sidescrolling physics-based sword-fighting adventure. Players assume the role of a nameless spectral king who has risen to defend his planet against a rampaging doom-cult the devouring touch of the cosmic horrors they serve. Wrenching this world from the grasp of oblivion, the Nameless King wields phantom blades forged from the legends and heritage of a dying world.
