Website Design |
September 2004
Charlie, my old roomate in New York, asked me to re-design his site for his music project with his brother. Being from Austrailia, I wanted to pull a beach/island feel into the entire interface. I also wanted something that you totally wouldn't expect, a breath of fresh air in a world of the grid.
The site was flashed by my SOHO compadre -

My Life - Poem by Mashiur Rahman
I burnt me to kill myself
Potential in me that I kill myself
Naked expectation of time is possible to kill myself
White profane to kill myself
Blood flowing in green to kill myself
Reds still to kill myself
Dark joyful to kill myself
To see white Profane on Black sacred
To hear the sounds of potential above impossible sounds
The sacred - profane unclean - clean to compose the same source
That threw before conscience of uterus, dancing….
Red- red white -white black -black unclean - the sanctity of peace World
Glowing happy dreams catching like a wall lizard slowly
By thoughts net catching sound like spider
Distribute catching the sound and catching dreams
That mix in air like the smoke for cloud for rain
A night gradually loses in my two legs
Submit in ash-tray like consumed half cigarettes
A day scatter as time on ground, Books on table
Like unexpected-expected love around me
Actually, I erratic myself by blue combustion for new creation.

Priyanka Chopra plays the role of Mala in Zanjeer. Though the movie is a remake of Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan starrer, we are now positive that everything is not same as the previous movie.
Mala back in 1973 was a very naive, unskilled, exposure-less girl who made a living out of sharpening knifes. Remember that song? Chaku Churiyan But when it comes to Priyanka Chopra its a different ball game entirely. Looking at the song you'd think she is an entertainer or something of sorts. But don't be mistaken! It's her friends sangeet andd she had to give an awesome performance. With an introduction like this, we are sure that her presence in the movie will also be bombat!

Great trip, great itinerary. It's hard to be back at work: Norwegian Jade Cruise Review by AlexB1972
Overall Member Rating
Great trip, great itinerary. It's hard to be back at work
Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean
Embarkation: Barcelona
We are not super wealthy and we saved a lot in order to be able to afford this awesome 12-day cruise and the flights. Thus, we didn't have time to see any of Barcelona's beautiful sights. We left the US on March 26 and arrived in Barcelona early on March 27. We'll go through each section of interest one by one.
We arrived at the airport early (about 9 am) and we got through immigration easily. We took a cab to the pier. It was about 30 Euro, cheaper than purchasing NCL's transfer. One of us is a fluent Spanish speaker, so it was not a problem. The weather was cloudy, but not too cold. Since we arrived so early, the check-in counters were not staffed yet. At about 10 am they opened up. We easily registered and checked More in (we had our online check in information pre-filled) - documents in hand.
Then we waited until about noon before we were able to board. We were jet lagged and tired, but we were very happy with how smoothly it went. Luckily, we embarked so quickly that we even avoided the dreaded embarkation pictures.
It seemed to us that about 40% of the passengers were from the U.S. Another 20% or so were from Canada. The rest were German, Spanish, French and British.
The average age of the US passengers was much older than that of non-US passengers, probably in the 60s or older range. This is easy to explain; the US is not as generous as its Canadian and European counterparts as far as vacation benefits go. The younger folk tended to be Canadian or European.
This was not a common problem. We witnessed just a couple of bad examples at one of the main dining rooms (Alizar) where a very demanding table was treating the waitstaff like dirt and we did say something.
But, on the whole, such displays of rudeness were rare as far as we saw.
We have sailed on very large megaships and smaller ships, and we really liked the size of the Jade. It was easy to find all the venues, restaurants and public areas.
We initially purchased an inside stateroom. Then, when prices drastically went down, we called NCL and were upgraded to a balcony. We were on deck 9. We enjoyed the balcony very much, though some of the passengers like to smoke on their balconies and the smell wafts through.
Everything was very well taken care of. The bedding was comfortable and nice. Storage space was plentiful. There is a soap dispenser on the sink and a shampoo/body lotion dispenser in the shower. We loved this, so we didn't have to bring our own travel-size bottles.
Our room stewards, Sandy and Shirkanth, were exceptional. We saw them a lot and talked to them a lot. We think that being friendly to the staff goes a long way to ensure that everything will go smoothly.
We are not demanding people and we are not snobs; we were certainly not above talking to the staff who, more often than not, proved to be very receptive to friendly chit chat.
There is a minibar in the cabin that contains a few alcoholic items, water, etc. We are big sparkling water drinkers so we used up a San Pellegrino and it was $5.95 including the 18% automatic gratuity.
We are not big alcohol drinkers so we never really stopped at one of the many bars except for one time at the Aloha Bar, right on Deck 7 as you board the ship, to have a cappuccino.
We enjoyed the Medusa Lounge, the Spinnaker Lounge, the Arcade and the Stardust Theater (shows are a separate topic).
We really liked the Freestyle Cruising way of NCL - not having a set dinner time was really helpful especially when we met with our new friends or if we were late getting back aboard after a port stop.
A word about food - food is subjective, of course. We are not food snobs, but one of us is an Italian from a city in Italy - Bologna - that is well known for its cuisine. In other words, we can tell when something is good and well prepared and when something is not. We like filet mignon, but we also like sandwiches.
All but one of our breakfasts we had on Deck 12 at the buffet. We enjoyed the variety and choices - all sorts of egg concotions, meats, fruits, cereal, pastries, etc. We really don't know how anyone could not find something to eat.
Our one breakfast in the Pacific Dining Room was just as good as the buffet.
All but one of our lunches at sea were at the buffet and again we always found something we liked. We enjoyed our lunch in the Pacific Dining Room. The steak and cheese was really good.
Most of our dinners were either at the Pacific or the Alizar dining rooms. Both offer the same menu and there is no extra charge. Again, we found the food to be of very good quality (considering there are about 2000 people on board).
We went to the French restaurant, Le Bistro, twice. We loved it. It was well worth the cover charge. Presentation and the food were exceptional. We had foie gras, scallops, coq au vin, porc au romarin, filet de boeuf, creme brulee, chocolate fondue for two and chocolate napoleon. We had San Pellegrino to accompany our dinner. We always left an extra gratuity for the wonderful waitstaff.
We went one night to Papa's Italian Kitchen. It was ok, not great. The food is not really Italian - but more akin to an Italian-American version. Still, we left an extra gratuity for the waitstaff who was great.
Karen was the cruise director. She's since left the Jade for a brief vacation and will be the Epic's cruise director when she returns. I thought she did a marvelous job, as did the cruise staff - Senad, Vicki, Chelo, etc. These people work hard and it shows, but they also have fun. They are also talented - Senad performed at the last night's crew show and he certainly has musical talent.
We thought the NCL show "Elements" was spectacular. Modelled after Cirque du Soleil, it featured magic, creative costuming and scenery and lots of acrobatics. Other shows featured excellent acrobatics and vaudeville/circus gymnastics. All the performers were excellent. We didn't go to one of the shows - "Shout!" - since it was not our cup of tea. There was a British comedian who was also good and a very talented virtuoso violinist - Nicola Loud - who was superb. Most of the shows tended to be visual in order to satisfy the needs of the multilingual passengers aboard. On the last night, the crew had its own show. There are many talented crew members on board.
There were activities to do throughout the day, from bingo to dance lessons to trivia. In short, it was impossible to get bored.
One of us is a spa addict. She had the seaweed treatment, a reflexology treatment and a Ionithermie treatment. All of them were expensive but she enjoyed them all. The spa personnel was not too pushy on after-treatment purchases.
Although we understand NCL's policy of adding $12 per person per day, we felt too unsure that that money would actually go to the people who provided us with great service. On the last sea day, we went to take the charges off. Although the NCL staff really wants you to keep them on, we finally got them taken off. We tipped our waitstaff in the Pacific - Fabrizio and Abhilasha - and our housekeeping staff - Shirkanth and Sandy - ourselves. They were very happy.
Towel animals - we only saw two. To be honest, we don't give a crap about towel animals. Some fellow passengers were acting like the lack of towel animals was a grave deficiency on the part of NCL.... sigh.
Food complaints - US passengers complained about small portions (more like European sized portions) and that the food was too European... sigh.
Show complaints - again, US passengers complained they didn't want acrobats or vaudeville acts, that they were 'lame'... another sigh.
Diversity - it was a very diverse cruise. Few children, but certainly lots of different people of all colors and nationalities on board. Quite a few GLBT couples as well and, as far as we saw, we didn't witness any discrimination against them (we are not GLBT, but we are definitely GLBT friendly) by passengers or staff.
Enrichment - few educational activities on board except for dance lessons or napkin folding. But that's ok. It's hard to do with a multilingual ship.
Casino - didn't go.
Kids' areas - didn't go.
Pool - most of the times, too cold to go.
Gym - one of us was there running everyday. Machines in perfect shape. Less

Port and Shore Excursions
Though it's a coed bath, women are separated from the men. We definitely thought the hamam was the one experience we will remember most fondly. The architecture inside the hamam, which was built in 1589, is exquisite. There are different types of service options, but most opted the 'traditional' which includes 15 minutes of scrubbing the skin (using a special sponge) and 15 minutes of washing/shampooing. Men wear a little cloth around the waist. Women wear just a pair of plastic underwear. If you're prudish around nudity, then perhaps this is not your place. If you're an adventurous traveler, do not miss the hamam experience.
Istanbul - day 2 Our friends had once again arranged a private tour of Istanbul - the hippodrome, the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and Topkapi Palace, with the addition of the underground cisterns. The places were amazing and the architecture, art and history were superb. A lot of people, especially US citizens, are afraid of venturing out to countries like Turkey, thinking they are backwards. Very far from the truth - Istanbul is just like any other European metropolis. Although Islam is prevalent, the government is strictly secular. Some women wear hijabs, some wear chadors, but most women were just like any other ladies in any other big city - fashion conscious, slim, hip. The cisterns were amazing and certainly recommended. We had dinner in a Turkish restaurant that was recommended in a Rick Steves or Lonely Planet guide (can't remember which) - it was delicious and inexpensive. Weather was cloudy and definitely on the colder side.
After the tour was over, we explored Valletta on our own. We visited St. John's Co-Cathedral where we saw Caravaggio's masterpieces - the Beheading of St. John and St. Jerome. One of us, however, though the overly Baroque and ornate architecture were a bit too much, while the other one loved it. Weather was warm and sunny.
Rome is exceedingly easy to do on your own and doing that saves a lot of money.

The modern world looks back towards Ancient Greece for the start of its philosophy, for the origins of its science and even for the foundations of its excursion into democracy. But is this either correct or fair? Was there something long, long before the City States of Greece flirted with geometry, astronomy and inclusive politics from which Greece itself developed, merely as a pale reflection? Alan Butler has put together his most exhaustive and yet most compelling presentation of how we came to be what we are today. The Dawn Genius explores the genius that was the Minoan civilization and shows how accounts of the fabled Atlantis were actually memories of a worldwide catastrophe that occurred around 1600 BC.
The Dawn of Genius puts back into the place the missing pieces of the puzzle that is Europe prior to a massive watershed in population and culture that took place after 2000 BC. A cataclysmic volcanic eruption in the Eastern Mediterranean destroyed an almost totally forgotten infrastructure that encompassed an entire continent, and opened Europe to an unparalleled invasion of much less sophisticated people from the East. The book recreates the culture and religion and scientific knowledge that was shattered in an instant and which plunged the world into a dark age from which it has taken over 3,000 years to emerge. This is probably the most comprehensive explanation of mysteries from a truly ancient world that has ever been written. Those interested in exploring the genuine origins of the modern world are certain to be enthralled.
About the Author
Alan Butler has spent 30 years immersed in world history, writing books delving into neglected recesses of the past, including ancient cosmology. Three of his books written with co-author Christopher Knight have attained cult status: Civilization One (2004), Before the Pyramids (2009) and The Hiram Key Revisited (2010), all published by Watkins. His most recent title was Rosslyn Chapel Decoded (with John Ritchie; published by Watkins, 2013).

Hockey clinched family's decision to move here
by Dennis Dalman
Sartell hockey – and a highly rated school system – were the clinchers when the Chris and Kristen Sigurdson family decided to move to the city five years ago.
The Sigurdsons and their four sons attended the Oct. 5 celebration of the Bernick's Arena's 10th birthday. (See related story.) All of the Sigurdson boys play as members of the Youth Hockey Association. They are Colten, 13; Talon, 11; Quentin, 10; and Easton, 5.
About six years ago, the Sigurdsons were with their sons at a hockey camp when someone there from Sartell mentioned they should think about moving to Sartell because of its thriving hockey program and its excellent school system. At that time, the Sigurdsons didn't know really anything about Sartell.
A year or so later, much to their delight, they found themselves living here, having moved from northwest Iowa. Besides hockey, another clincher was when Kristen was putting out feelers for a job in another city, she discovered there was an opening for a foot-and-ankle surgeon at St. Cloud Orthopedics in Sartell's Medical Campus. She applied and got the job.
Chris is general manager for Minnesota Select Sires, a cattle genetics cooperative. He was born in Maple Grove and grew up on a farm near Isanti. For the past 20 years, he and his family had lived in many different states. They are relieved and happy to be settled down in Sartell. The education system and the hockey program are both "fantastic," Chris said.
For three years, Chris served on the Sartell Youth Hockey Association Board, as its president for one of those years. He said he has been amazed by the commitment and generosity to youth hockey in the Sartell and St. Cloud areas. Parents, he said, are willing to pay quite a bit to have their children play hockey, and sponsors both small and large are exceedingly generous, Chris added.
"So much has been accomplished in the past 10 years," he said. "What's very unique is the Youth Hockey Association owns the arena, and that puts an additional burden on families for the costs to participate, but those families are willing to accept that for hockey and for all the other attributes in the city."
Sigurdson credits Michael Hornung, Sartell businessman, for spearheading the effort to get a new Zamboni.
"We have tremendous sponsors and help from hockey players, their families and all the events that raised money for it (the Zamboni)," Chris said. "One doesn't get a Zamboni or an arena without a lot of people working together. Besides the sponsors, there was all the volunteering – people managing teams, coaches, all the hockey parents who work so hard. They even staff the events, like the annual rock concert at the arena. The kids always help out too."
Hockey, Chris said, is one way to teach children the value of hard work and teamwork.
"We have to teach this generation of children how to work," he said. "We live in town. I have four boys. Academics come first, and my boys have to learn to fail as well as succeed."
Chris said hockey and other sports, along with school and hard work, are what he believes are the excellent inter-related ways children can learn life skills.

Donations to the NSW branch of the Labor Party have declined nearly 50 per cent over the last 12 months, suggesting the corporate sector has deserted the scandal-plagued government a year out from a state election.
Documents released by the Election Funding Authority of NSW yesterday show the Liberal opposition has also closed the funding gap with the ALP, although it is yet to capitalise on its substantial lead in the polls.
The NSW ALP reported donations of $3.2 million in the six months to December 31, down from $5.9 million during the same period last year. Donations to the Liberal Party over that period were flat at $3 million.
One Labor source said persistent scandals and the economic downturn had made fund raising difficult for a government that has been in power since 1995.
"It [the decline in funding ] probably reflects our electoral fortunes," he said.
Despite the popularity of recently installed Premier
But this ascendancy in the polls is yet to translate into money for the Liberals, although there are signs of donors showing a more even hand.
The NSW Taxi Council, which has strong links with the ALP, gave the coalition $28,300 in the six months to December 31, compared to $24,500 for Labor.
Accounting firm Deloitte gave around $30,000 to both major parties.
Star City Casino, owned by the sharemarket-listed Tabcorp, made the largest single donation over the period, giving $115,000 to the ALP.
This led NSW Greens MP
"NSW Labor has once again accepted a massive $115,000 from Star City Casino, at the same time as the government further relaxed the laws regulating the casino in parliament," she said.
"It is startling to see how the corrupting influence of donations continues to taint NSW politics despite the commitments made by both major parties to clean up the mess."
While the ALP raised slightly more than the Liberals during the most recent period, the momentum looks to be with the opposition.
On Friday night nearly 1000 people paid around $250 a head to attend a "countdown to change" dinner in Sydney. The evening marked one year before the NSW election.
"The sell-out for the dinner last Friday night is an indication of the broad range of support the party receives from business and the community," said Liberal Party state director Mark Neeham.
Opposition transport spokeswoman Gladys Berejiklian also held a sell-out fundraiser earlier in the year.

Soprano (for Alto 1) from Try Harder (Saxophone Quartet)
This is supposed to be a challenge, with the lead instrument being mostly the Tenor. I find the hardest thing is to get the gasps sounding loud enough! They need to sound as if the players are trying really hard, which of course they are, which is why they can't gasp … Hey Ho! Although intended for 2 Altos, Tenor and Baritone, a Soprano part is available to replace Alto 1.

I know, I know…thrilling, thrilling stuff. But from someone who's been around the Mets, Yankees, Giants and Jets plenty over the last few months, even slow days at Rangers practice seem interesting. Why? Because hockey players, on the whole, don't view us as annoyances.
Anyway, two quick things of note:
1. The pertinent  Talk centered around tomorrow's meeting with the Penguins, who beat the listless Rangers 3-1 last week in Pittsburgh when the Blueshirts committed 12 penalties and allowed two power-play goals. Aaron Ward had unique insight into that loss: He said the team didn't play poorly, it just never found it's direction. "It wasn't that it wasn't there," Ward said. "We just couldn't find it."
Now, I know that sounds like a Yogi-ism, but Ward believes the team just wasn't sure what it wanted to do against the Penguins that night. Do you guys buy it???
2. The funny  During practice, four young kids sat in a row of seats along the glass watching the team cycle through a conditioning drill. As the drill ended, Darius Kasparaitis skated by and, with a big grin on his face, smacked his stick against the glass. Basically, just his way of saying hello and giving the kids a thrill.
But just as Kasparaitis swooped by, Jed Ortmeyer, the man in the yellow jersey who's supposed to be off-limits, gently checked Kasparaitis into the glass. By the look on his face, Kasparaitis never saw it coming.
The kids, of course, seemed to think it was the greatest thing ever. I'm sure Ortmeyer did, too. Must've been nice to lay into somebody, yellow jersey be damned.
OK, that's all. Hopefully, I won't go another two months without checking in. Until then, GO BU. The beloved Terriers rallied from two 1-goal deficits in the third period on the road to tie hated UNH on Nov. 10th. I bet Sam didn't get around to mentioning that. Must've been busy counting his alma mater's national championships. (Oh wait, they have none.)

Mammograms, PSA tests, ultra sounds, CT scans: There's a medical test for almost any physical illness, but there's no test that ensures that your doctor takes the time to carefully listen—really listen— to your symptoms and concerns.
When doctors don't listen, mistakes can be made and there are terrible consequences.
Every year, nearly 100,000 people suffer injuries, or even die, as a result of medical malpractice. That's nearly 50 % more people than are injured or killed in car accidents.
Medical malpractice occurs anytime a healthcare professional's actions or inactions cause an injury or death. Examples of medical malpractice are failure to diagnose a condition or disease, surgical errors, and birth injuries like cerebral palsy and Erb's palsy. Failure to diagnose or maintain a standard of care may lead to wrongful death in certain cases.
Any healthcare professional in any healthcare setting could potentially be responsible for your medical malpractice injury, including doctors, nurses, hospitals, health clinics, dentists, anesthesiologists, et al. Many times, in order to get all the medical records and facts, you need aggressive legal representation. Our medical malpractice attorneys will evaluate your claim and help you recover compensation from the healthcare professional that injured you or your family member.
Trantolo & Trantolo's Connecticut medical malpractice attorneys have handled hundreds of these complicated claims and recovered millions of dollars on our clients' behalf. If you believe that you or a loved one has been injured, it is essential that you contact one of the experienced medical malpractice lawyers at Trantolo & Trantolo.

La Paz is a mountainous region in Bolivia where drink and daredevil sports brand Red Bull held Descenso del Condor at the end of October. The event is an extreme downhill rally where bicyclists make a death defying trip down one of La Paz's extreme downhill paths.
Bicyclist Filip Polc donned a helmet camera and filmed his journey down the narrow path in which viewers can see just how close to death riders in the competition were. Polc won first place in another Red Bull event, proving the brand does give you wings. Take a look at his mind blowing POV footage from Descenso del Condor below.

Mayoral candidate Sarah Thomson invited the media to her campaign headquarters for a "major announcement" on Wednesday.
"Sarah Thomson is set to make a major announcement which may affect the course of the mayoral race," read the press release for the event.
Spoiler alert: It wasn't what I'd call a "major announcement"
At 10 a.m. with a handful of media outlets filling her tiny campaign office, Thomson came out and delivered an announcement about her plan to reform Toronto Community Housing (TCHC).
Asked why her campaign described this as a "significant" announcement that would "affect the course of the mayoral race," Thomson argued that's "exactly" what it was.
"There's two major issues I see in Toronto, one of them is transit and we've been talking about that a lot, the other is Toronto Community Housing and affordable housing across the board and nobody's been talking about it," she said. "I'm bringing that forward today and I'm calling on the other candidates to address it and to have real solutions to the problem."
I wouldn't bet on a large media turnout at Thomson's next "major announcement."

"It's ridiculous."
-- a Twitter investor on the social network's $7 billion-plus private-market valuation (Silicon Alley Insider)
A U.S. appeals court ruled today that Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, must accept the $65 million settlement reached with Facebook in 2008. Wrote Chief Judge Alex Kozinski: "The Winklevosses are not the first parties bested by a competitor who then seek to gain through litigation what they were unable to achieve in the marketplace." But from the sound of a rebuttal blog post, the Winklevii aren't having it. "In my judgment, the opinion raises extremely significant questions of federal law that merit review by the entire Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals," responded Tyler. "For that reason, my colleagues and I will file a Petition For Rehearing En Banc within the next fifteen days." (Reuters via VentureBeat)

Entrust has been working since 2010 to educate our customers on the migration away from 1024-bit RSA keys. We updated our policy in 2011 and summarized the status in 2013. Entrust has implemented migration and do not issue any RSA certificates less than 2048-bit keys and have discussed continued issuance using our 1024-bit root.
By the end of 2013 all compliant certification authorities (CAs) migrated their customers from SSL certificates with 1024-bit RSA keys to certificates with 2048-bit keys or another acceptable alternative. Now in 2014, the operating system and browser vendors will start to remove the 1024-bit root certificates that many have been embedded in the software for almost 20 years.
Mozilla will make the first move by removing some 1024-bit roots in the Firefox 32 release. The Entrust 1024-bit root certificate will be removed at that time. However, Mozilla has found there may be a complication due to the lazy system administrators.
In some cases, an intermediate CA was cross-certified by a 1024-bit root. For customers who bought a long-life certificate, they may still have an installation using a 1024-bit root that still validates in 2014 and may validate for a few more years. These customers were provided with an updated intermediate CA certificate signed by a 2048-bit root, but may not have installed this certificate.
In this case, Mozilla has tried to mitigate this problem by temporarily embedding a new version of the intermediate CA certificate signed by the 2048-bit root. This means that a new path will be provided to validate the website's certificate.
Microsoft is also planning to remove the 1024-bit root certificates as early as November 2014. In the past Microsoft has configured Windows, so it will not trust any key of less than 1024-bits.
Entrust is in full support of the removal of the 1024-bit roots. It is good for the public-trusted certificate industry to have programs to strengthen the specifications and mitigate possible future attacks.

Sign up for our weekly email * Update, 14/10/16 : On 14 October 2016, Ched Evans was found not guilty of rape following a retrial. This article was published before this new verdict. Sky News has been forced to apologise to the woman raped by footballer Ched Evans after inadvertently displaying a Twitter feed that named her. The Sheffield United footballer was convicted of rape and sentenced to five years in jail at Caernarfon Crown Court last week. His sentence caused outrage on Twitter at the weekend, with fans of the 23-year-old leaping to his defence, some going so far as to name the victim. And rather ironically, in its coverage of the Twitter scandal, Sky News accidentally published the 19-year-old victim's name last night. In a statement, the broadcaster said that it would "like to apologise to the victim and her family for any distress caused." But the statement insisted that minimal damage was done, adding that "if watching in real-time viewers would not have noticed." After the victim was named on Twitter her mother said: "Putting her name on Twitter is just another horrendous ordeal for her and we have been assured the police are going to come down like a ton of bricks on these people." Rape victims are granted anonymity under the Sexual Offences (Amendment) Act in 1976. Police warned tweeters who named the victim that "offenders will be brought to justice." Evans' teammate Connor Brown called the 19-year-old a "slag" and "money-grabbing little tramp." He has since been suspended from Sheffield United. Subscribe from just £1 per issue More

Apollo Test Capsule
March 10, 2012 by staff
Apollo Test Capsule, A dummy capsule that NASA used in the lead-up to the Apollo moon landings has been restored to its former glory to inspire a new generation of space explorers at a California learning center.
The red-and-white painted capsule, known as "Boilerplate 19A" (BP-19A), was built in the early 1960s by the same aerospace company and to the same basic design specifications as the space-worthy command modules that flew crews to the moon and back.
But, instead of lifting off, BP-19A was dropped out of the back of a cargo plane to test the recovery systems that would safely land astronauts back on Earth.
More than four decades after its final test flight, and years after being displayed outdoors in a county park, BP-19A was entrusted to SpaceWorks, the exhibition design and artifact preservation division of the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center in Hutchinson, Kan., for its restoration.
"Compared to other remaining capsules from the Apollo era, this particular artifact was exceptional, due the fact that it still contained original components," said Richard Hollowell, the Cosmosphere's interim president and chief executive officer. "SpaceWorks stabilized the original materials, cleaned and preserved the surfaces and prepared the capsule for full-time exhibition."
The capsule is now set to go on display at the Columbia Memorial Space Center, a hands-on educational facility in Downey, Calif., the site where all the Apollo spacecraft – including BP-19A – were built.

Dear Steven:
I'm new to grilling, but thanks to your book "How to grill", I've been able to make excellent brined pork chops, chicken breasts, grilled tomatoes and smoked potatoes.
For my next grilling, I plan to make something a little more simple: burgers.
I've seen that most people add eggs, chopped onions or bread crumbs to the patty to keep them from falling apart, but in your book you don't add any ingredients to the patty besides ground beef.
What's your advice?
Thanks in advance!

The causes of erectile dysfunction include:
Vascular Disease: Also known as arteriosclerosis, vascular disease is a condition in which the arteries harden and narrow, resulting in a reduction in blood flow throughout the body. The reduction in blood flow to the penis can lead to impotence. Age-related arteriosclerosis is responsible for more than half the cases of impotence in men over 60. Risk factors for arteriosclerosis include diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.
Smoking: Generally considered the biggest risk factor for impotence, smoking is related to arteriosclerosis because smoking reduces blood flow.
Diabetes Mellitus: Damage to small blood vessels and nerves from chronic high levels of blood sugar, which is associated with diabetes mellitus, can impair the transmission of nerve impulses and/or blood flow necessary for erection. Approximately 60 percent of male sufferers of diabetes melitus experience impotence.
Drugs: Impotence is a side effect of drugs that affect the vascular and nervous system. More than 200 prescription drugs, such as drugs for high blood pressure, as well as many over-the-counter medications, fall into this category and can cause impotence.
Hormone Disorders: A deficiency in testosterone can cause impotence. An excess of prolactin, which reduces testosterone, can have the same effect.
Pelvic trauma: Erectile dysfunction can result from surgery of the rectum, colon or prostate; or as a side effect of radiation therapy in that area of the body.
Obesity: Overweight men are more likely to experience erectile dysfunction than thin men.
Metabolic Syndrome: Men with unhealthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels, high blood pressure, belly fat, and insulin resistance are at a higher risk for erectile dysfunction.
Neurologic Conditions: Any condition that results in an interruption of nerve impulses or damage to the nerves from the brain to the penis, including spinal and brain injuries, nerve disorders, multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's disease, may cause impotence.
Prolonged Bicycling: Pressure from a bicycle seat can compress nerves and influence blood flow to the penis, leading to temporary erectile dysfunction and penile numbness. Radiation therapy for prostate or bladder cancer may also damage these nerves.
Peyronie's Disease: An inflammatory condition, peyronie's disease causes scarring of erectile tissue. This can cause curvature of the penis and can interfere with sexual function. Inflammation may also be responsible for pain during erections.
Venous Leak: A venous leak is a leak in the veins of the penis. Because leakage allows blood to leave the penis during erection, an erection is unable to be maintained. Venous leak can occur from damage to the veins in the penis caused by injury or disease.
Psychological Conditions: Emotional states including depression, stress, guilt, worry, anxiety, and low self esteem can lead to a loss of libido and erectile dysfunction. Psychological factors, however, are less relevant than physical causes.
Alcoholism and/or substance abuse
Chronic health conditions: Endocrine system disorders can cause erectile dysfunction

What a week!
Sorry for the delay in posting this week but it has been one very busy week. Worked on several logos, some character development, a couple of websites, and various illustration projects. I feel the need to do some work today just to stay on top of things. It is good to be busy. I hope everyone who follows the blog and FB page are busy as well.
The BIG NEWS this week is that the book I illustrated, Molly Kit Has Faith, has ben picked up by a publisher. I do not have a lot details right now but it could lead to a national release plus other books in the series and possible dolls from the characters.
Nothing on the later is set in stone but I did get the news about the book being picked up.
I did a workshop last weekend which we drew the figure in oil paint. It was so much fun to actually paint again. I love oil paints and their flexibility. Now I have the bug to paint some more and hope to do that really soon. The above images are a couple of the studies we did. The time for each one ranged from an hour and a half to 2 hours. The photos are a bit crappy but it gives you an idea of what we did.
Well this is going to be a short post but I will make up for it next week.

As farming spreads throughout west and central Africa, the World Conservation Union says lions' habitats are disappearing fast.
Each male needs between 20 and 200 square kilometres to find food but there's now a serious shortage of land.
The big cats are also being killed off by poisoning and hunting which is still legal in some countries.
Scientists say each lion population needs at least 500 animals to breed properly but most only have about 50.
Because lions are at the top of the food chain, experts are worried their disappearance might start to affect other species.
So far lions haven't been thought of as an endangered species.

I warned last week about the imminent first quarter retail blame game and suggested Wal-Mart (WMT) and Target (TGT) were the most likely suspects. Yesterday, Target kicked off pre-earnings retail season with a guide down.
Comps are now expected to be flat, the low end of 0-2% guidance. The comp and earnings per share guide down was met with an "ehh" reaction from the street. After all, investors suspected guidance was too optimistic as it assumed an acceleration in the business based on the 2-year stacked comp (not sure the logic of setting the bar with a high reach post the fourth quarter)?
Overly-optimistic guidance aside, there are plenty of other excuses to dish out in the first quarter-- namely, the weather. After a less than inspiring holiday followed by a first quarter guide down we can only wonder when investors will stop giving out free passes. We know Canada is an opportunity but it will be some time before there is clarity on the sales part of that equation.
Investors will have to count on PFresh, Target's grocery line, and 5% Rewards to drive the business. So far, those initiatives have not been enough to save the day. With the stock up 16% year to date, it would seem logical that when Target runs out of external blame (weather, taxes, refunds), the stock may run out of steam.
All eyes are now on Wal-Mart. If the higher-end Target customer can't get it done, I can only come to the conclusion that WMT's overly optimistic comp guidance for the first quarter is at risk as well. Like Target, Wal-Mart gave us some disappointing fourth quarter comp numbers (traffic turned negative), and at the same time issued guidance that implied an acceleration in the two-year trend for the first quarter. In addition to the usual suspects (weather, taxes, Easter shift), don't underestimate the promotional stance at the dollar stores. Every bit of pressure counts.
Some rogue emails preceding the fourth quarter earnings release lowered the bar and actually set the company up for a sigh of relief (emails implied things could have been much worse).
Someone better start typing..

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9TV dated January 10th, 2013
ADNAN OKTAR: What did Ms. Canan Güvenli say? " Mr. Hüseyin I am curious, what is the take of devout people of Van on irreligious Apo? Do our grandmothers who perform their prayers call him a "leader"?" Well done! She seems to be a brave, intelligent girl. Mr. Huseyin Çelik, he is one of the bravest people of Van, masha'Allah. Mr. Hüseyin Çelik is a very devout, very favorable and nice person. In short he said; "Devout people wouldn't call a Marxist, Leninist person a "leader"." That is very nice. They wouldn't call him that but when they receive a long termed Darwinist-materialist education, they might as well say that. The number of those who call him a "leader" is not that low at the moment. The man has come to a level that he would be able to get in negotiations or in debates with the state. So that means a certain number of people have been formed [around him]. I mean they have a considerable number of people. Doesn't Abdullah Ocalan have talks with the government? He does. In that case, what is it that should be done? It is putting an end to the Darwinist Materialist education. That is because in the textbooks of the state, in biology textbooks, in history textbooks, philosophy textbooks, in sociology textbooks, there are hundreds of pages of Darwinist propaganda. And the response to it is not given, the scientific response to that is not there. There is only one sided Darwinist propaganda [in those books]. What does Darwinist espouse? It claims that the universe is created by coincidences. It claims that the universe, all the living beings you see, everything have been created by coincidences, as the result of a chain of coincidences. What does this mean? It means – may Allah forbid- that Allah does not exist. That is an education in that sense. Well if people receive such an education.. what does our sister say here? ".. What is the take of devout people on irreligious Apo?" Does the Darwinist education recognize religion? It does not anyway. Could religion be in Darwinist education system? You are not saying that "Allah has created everything." You are saying that everything has come into existence as the result of coincidences. You do not accept the Might of Allah in the Darwinist way of thinking. Well then why do people feel surprised to see that Apo is an unbeliever? Well, okay we might be surprised but that is the way the man has been educated. He is graduated from the faculty of political sciences. There is a Darwinist materialist education in the political sciences faculty as well. Abdullah Ocalan is graduated from Ankara [University] Political Sciences [faculty]. Teachers there are teaching Darwinism materialism day and night. He is educated in that way in senior high, junior high and in university. Darwinist materialist education is going on regularly in the institutions of the state. And this man says that he has become irreligious. Well, in the textbooks of the state there is no manner of speech that accepts religion anyway. I mean they are all explaining supposedly how the universe came into being by coincidences through sketches and drawings and they do not say Allah has created the universe. For that reason yes there are some religious people but they could only stand against and defeat Darwinism with the efforts we made day and night. That is not the case in the world. For our work to get easier Darwinist materialist education should be given even more extensively in the textbooks of the state yet the scientific response to such claims should also be given extensively in the same manner. If that is ensured, it would be all good. Apart from that, people might call him "a leader" or anything else. You see the risky environment yourselves, you see the situation we have in Turkey. There is a serious danger of separation in Turkey and that is not possible to miss. If people didn't see him as their leader, who is our government having talks with? It appears as though he is the leader of many people so that they talk about him saying "Imralı". What they call Imralı is actually Abdullah Öcalan. They are not pronouncing his name, but that is him. So that means a large mass accepts him as their leader, that means the damage is done anyway. This is the result yielded by the Darwinist materialist education. For that reason Darwinist materialist education needs to be stopped. There might be some certain cases that it does not yield such results but this is the large scaled result it ends up with, or this is the result it might give. We need to think accordingly and act accordingly.

OAK HARBOR, Ohio (AP) -- An Ohio nuclear plant along Lake Erie has shut down for scheduled refueling and maintenance.
The subsidiary of FirstEnergy Corp. that runs the Davis-Besse (BEHS'-ee) plant says the shutdown began Sunday. It didn't say when the maintenance work might be completed.
The company says the work includes numerous safety inspections.
The nuclear plant was last shut down in the fall while its reactor head was replaced. That's when crews found cracks in the outer concrete wall that's designed to protect the reactor.
Opponents point to the cracks as a sign that the plant near Toledo is unsafe.
Federal regulators allowed the facility to begin producing electricity again in December. They're set next week to consider whether to renew the plant's license.

Nalhati, Dec. 31: Nine-year-old Runa got a rare gift from her primary school teachers on the last day of the year a farewell.
A big meal awaited the 56 outgoing Class IV kids of Karimpur Primary School in Nadia. There was a farewell gift too a pen. Runa Laila and her classmates dressed in their finest for the occasion.
This unusual gesture by the school was the idea of its headmaster, Dinabandhu Chowdhury. He thought a farewell would be the best way to honour the students who will join high school in a few days.
In a state where the school dropout rate between primary and high school is 58 per cent well above the national average of 46 it is perhaps a much-needed encouragement for children and their parents to stay with the school system.
We have taught them for four years. We love them. They will leave primary school in a few days and will join high school. We thought we should do something for them. After all, we strengthened their foundations for four years, headmaster Chowdhury said.
The 30 girls and 26 boys will hopefully join two high schools nearby Nalhati Girls High School and Nalhati Hariprasad High School for Boys. Both are about 2km from Karimpur.
Runa Laila could not stop beaming today. When I heard we would get a farewell, I was so happy. Today, when I came to school I felt like a grown-up.
She said the headmaster made us stand in a line and gave us pens. When I join high school, I will use this pen.
Runa, whose father is a mason, said she had some idea that this farewell was a rare thing. None of my friends in other schools has been given a farewell, she said.
Subrata Roy, 61, who retired from the Karimpur school after teaching there for 35 years, said: I have not heard of any farewell for Class IV students in my 35 years as a teacher. This is a very good move and it will help the students respect school and teachers.
Teachers said the event made the kids feel they were special. My students said they felt special. Today was their day, a Bengali teacher said.
The district inspector of schools (primary), Swapan Majumder, praised the school. I have worked in a number of districts. But this is the first time I have heard about a farewell for Class IV students. I congratulate the school for arranging such an event, he said.
The students sang and danced Runa participated in a dance programme with five of her classmates.
Then there was lunch for all the 179 students of the school fried rice, chicken curry, vegetable curry and rasogollas.
The schools budget was Rs 30,000, including contributions from the local community.
Teacher Sussana Hembram said: We held a meeting with members of the ward education committee and the decision was taken. When the guardians came to know about it, they also came forward to help with money.
Mir Raseul Haque, a member of the ward education committee, said: The local Forward Bloc councillor Hasibul Rahman gave 45kg of chicken. Some guardians provided rice and others brought vegetables.
I felt very good when my daughter told me to go to her school today. The teachers welcomed my daughter and blessed her. They wished her luck in high school, said Priyanka Dass father Ratan, an egg seller.
Raja Ghosh, the chairman of district primary school council, said farewells should be organised in other primary schools as well. It will make students love their school forever.

Mario Badescu Skin Care Healing Cream Reviews
Amazing!This cream has kept those giant koopa zits that I can't keep my fingers off of from scarring. It has also faded some scars that I have. Great for reducing redness in the morning before I put on make-up and keeps my skin moisturized. Fabulous product that really does do exactly what it claims. And its not that expensive! A cream that works this well for that price? Sure you could shell out $50 for something that might work. But this will. I don't leave home (or go to bed) without it! — 9 years, 3 months agoAHarrer | 25 reviews

Great!I tried a lot of different acne medication that either made my face too dry or too oily. Mario Badescu, which I discovered from their free samples works wonderfully. I apply it after a nightly face wash/toner to moisturize my face since it has a tendency to be a little dry. Soothing and refreshing with a hint of scent make this a must have for those breakouts. Their other products are definitely worth a look as well. — 9 years, 4 months agohongsc | 18 reviews

Best stuff ever!I highly recommend this product! It calms and takes the red out of those breakouts or pimples that have a tendency to get really red and sore. It speeds up healing time and cuts down the chances of the pimple leaving a scar. I know it says on the product description that it does everything I just listed, but I was surprised when it actually did! I can't believe more people don't know about this stuff because it really is one of those miracle products! — 9 years, 5 months agoKrissyt1214 | 4 reviews

What are the best Christmas movies for kids?
Well, October is here. I know that I should be waiting until at least Halloween to start considering holiday music and movies, but I find myself in the mood to be festive.
Now that Evan is 3, I have the urge to start building a collection of holiday movies that we can watch in anticipation of the big day. Since we can purchase movies and shows through Amazon Instant on our TV, I'm ready to get started.
The problem is, I'm not really in the loop on which Christmas movies are great for kids, so I need YOUR help!
Of course, I want the classics that I watched from my childhood like Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer, Frosty The Snowman, and How The Grinch Stole Christmas — but what else is out there?
I would love to hear which Christmas movies your kids adore, whether they are classics or newer films.
So, which Christmas movies are a hit with your family? Are YOU ready for Christmas, too?

Some we know, most we don't, but all are likely to soar
Hot to trot
the model Ellie Ross, left, is very much in
vogue; the Socceroo Jason Culina is expected to shine in Germany;
the writer Markus Zusak has made an acclaimed move to adult
writing, and the performing arts director Nicole Alexander is
importing a major show to Sydney.

From a recently discovered 14-year-old surfer girl to a
leader of one of the world's most successful airlines, the faces to
watch this year are a varied bunch. Herald reporters give their
tips for the people most likely to make headlines in 2006.
Laura Enever: A week ago Enever, 14, was looking forward to watching her favourite pro-junior, the Australian front-runner Jessi Miley-Dyer, compete in the junior world surfing championships at Enever's home beach, North Narrabeen.
Hours after Enever arrived, she found herself competing against Miley-Dyer for the title of girl's junior world champion, having been asked to compete when a number of US entrants failed to show and reserves could not be found. Enever made it to round three in the junior world championships with little or no time to prepare. "She's a really great surfer and so I didn't mind that I lost to her, because I was kind of going for her before I was in the comp," Enever said.
Despite having never competed in a pro-junior event before the world championships, there are suggestions Enever's talent is far from incidental. "You could hear more of her in the future, definitely if she keeps pushing along," the contest's director, Luke Egan, said.
This year Enever will join the pro-junior circuit, which means she will compete against the best in her age group and above. In the meantime her main goal is to enjoy doing what she does best.
"I just want to surf, do my HSC, then keep surfing and hopefully everything will go well. I just want to have fun."
Sophie Gyles
Jason Culina: A hugely talented footballer who keeps the ball on a string, the potential of the Socceroos midfielder Culina was identified when he was a teenager with Sydney United and Sydney Olympic, but when he left Australia his career stood still.
Almost five seasons of reserve-team football with the Dutch giants Ajax Amsterdam might have done a lot for his bank balance, but it did not help his ambitions. Still, Ajax is renowned for teaching young players good habits, and when Culina left Amsterdam in 2004 for Twente Enschede, the quality quickly re-emerged.
Within months Culina had made his debut for Australia, and a stream of goals for FC Twente made him a target for bigger European clubs. The appointment of the Dutchman Guus Hiddink as the Socceroos coach last August was a circuit-breaker. Within months Culina had joined Hiddink's club PSV Eindhoven. Competition for places in the Socceroos midfield is white-hot, but with Hiddink's support the 25-year-old is poised to star for his country in the World Cup finals.
Michael Cockerill
Ian Thorpe: It has been more than a year since Thorpe raced on the big stage after he took a sabbatical following his success at the Athens Olympics. He will be keen to show the break has done him little harm when he spearheads the Australian swimming team at the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne in March. Winning Commonwealth Games gold is nothing new for Thorpe. He has 10 gold medallions from the past two Games in Kuala Lumpur and Manchester, and you can expect him to add a few more to his tally. Later in the year Thorpe will take on the Americans, Japanese and Canadians in the Pan-Pacific Championships in Canada, as his build-up for the Beijing Olympics continues.
Michael Cowley
Nicole Alexander: As a student at Ravenswood School for Girls Alexander produced a version of Les Miserables with a cast of 110 girls. A decade later she is one of the brightest of Sydney's performing arts producers. Through her company, Alexander Productions, the 26-year-old runs vocal workshops for young people at the Conservatorium of Music, and she has also managed to mount a $2 million production of Jake Heggie's death row opera Dead Man Walking, never before seen in Sydney.
The show, which features 64 musicians, 64 principals and choristers, 18 supernumeraries and 16 child choristers, will open next year.
Alexa Moses
Markus Zusak: The Gymea author Zusak, the son of German and Austrian immigrants, began writing at 16 and finished his first manuscript at 18, although his first two novels were rejected by publishers.
While writing his early books, he worked as a tutor, a substitute high-school teacher and a cleaner to support himself. He published his first book, The Underdog, at 24. Since then, he has written three more books for young adults, and snared the Queensland Premier's Literary Awards (Young Adult Book) in 2002, the NSW Premier's Literary Award (Ethel Turner prize) in 2003, and the 2003 CBC Book of the Year Award for Older Readers. In September last year his first adult book The Book Thief was published to critical acclaim.
Alexa Moses
Ellie Ross: As Michelle Leslie was walking into Bali's Kerobokan jail on drugs charges, Ross, 16, was walking through the doors of Leslie's former Australian modelling agency Chic Management - and landing several plum assignments. While most modelling neophytes have to wait for the work to trickle in, the North Shore schoolgirl's first job was a shoot for Vogue, and in weeks she had landed fashion advertising campaigns for Third Millennium and Sportsgirl.
"The response was immediate it is unusual," said the Chic director Kathy Ward. By the time fellow Chic-ite Leslie was back in Sydney - and being scratched from Chic's books - Ross was treading the catwalk for the first time at Stephanie Conley's autumn/winter 2006 parade at the Sydney nightclub The Loft, and doing yet more editorial work, this time for the inaugural Australian edition of Nylon magazine. With Ross entering year 11, the official position is that modelling will take a back seat to her schooling for now. But Ward said: "She's got a huge international career ahead of her."
Patty Huntington
Alan Joyce: The Jetstar chief executive, 39, is being touted as a future Qantas chief executive after heading its successful low-cost counter-attack on its competitor Virgin Blue.
He will have a much larger brief this year when he heads the launch of Jetstar International to long-haul destinations. The airline, with its domestic cousin, is an important part of Qantas's five-year program to slash $3 billion from its cost base. Jetstar International will also try to counter the growing share of Emirates and Singapore Airlines on international airline traffic into Australia. Joyce will also try to steady Qantas's cash-burning investment in the Singapore airline Jetstar Asia when he joins its board this year.
Qantas's chief financial officer, Peter Gregg, is considered the most likely replacement to Geoff Dixon in mid-2007 but the Irish-born Joyce could be next in line. An Australian citizen, he still has a strong interest in Irish politics.

Pole Shift Threatens To Cause Weather Chaos
Will paying billions of dollars in carbon taxes to Al Gore and his cronies solve the problem?
Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com
Monday, February 7, 2011
According to some experts, the world's weather is about to get even more chaotic as a result of natural climate change that we can do absolutely nothing to prevent – and even though global warming alarmists may exploit the consequences to advance their own political agenda, paying a carbon tax to Al Gore will not lessen the impact of a potentially catastrophic magnetic polar shift.
In layman's terms, the most apocalyptic outcome of a polar shift would come as a result of the the poles flipping, with the south pole becoming the north pole and vice versa. The good news is that on average this only happens every half a million years, but the bad news is that it hasn't happened in roughly 780,000 years, with some experts warning that the planet is overdue. Pole flips have been known to happen only 50,00 years apart.
If it happened, a complete pole shift would cause "superstorms in the future with winds as high as 300 to 400mph…which "would totally destroy anything they came into contact with on land," writes Terrence Aym for Salem-News.com.
"In between these flips, the magnetic field can become quite weak and chaotic, causing "turbulence" in the field, which can effectively cause weaker gaps in the magnetosphere," writes Mike Adams.
"These magnetic gaps or weaknesses can allow outside influences that normally would not penetrate the magnetosphere to reach deep into that magnetosphere, theoretically all the way down to where birds fly at very low altitude," adds Adams, making a case that pole shifts are to blame for recent mass bird die-offs.
However, it's important to note that the process of reversal in the earth's magnetic field can take around 5,000 years to be completed. This isn't going to happen overnight, which is why frenetic claims that it is part of some pre-ordained 2012 Mayan apocalypse are in the same league as hysteria about Planet X.

Jerry and his two pals, Russ and Syd, are just looking for some easy money to help them break out of their nowhere lives in their nowhere town...
Getting your characters mixed up in a robbery that goes awry would seem pretty much de rigeur for most cult US crime stories. But despite opening with that familiar scenario, Palookaville serves up a new spin on the theme, delivering a refreshing and hilarious alternative to the cool-guys-with-guns flick.
Looking for a way to elevate their small-town New Jersey lifestyle from dead-end rut to purposeful existence, Sid (Forsythe), Russ (Gallo) and Jerry (Trese) opt for a life of crime to improve their social standing. However, the initial effort to rob a jewellery store - they take a wrong turn and end up in the adjoining bakery instead - pretty much sets the standard for all future attempts.
Although each is desperate - Sid is facing an eviction notice, Russ wants to move out of the home he still shares with his mother, and Jerry needs to support his wife and child - none really have the inclination or the heart to do anything particularly bad. They may dream of holding up a cash-filled security van but when the driver of one they're following collapses at the wheel, getting him to hospital and returning the vehicle safely become their top priorities.
Extracting loveable performances from its leads, the film (unusually for this genre) also draws upon the strength of women in this set-up (especially Frances McDormand in a pivotal cameo), who provide the wise words and backbone the trio obviously rely on.
By replacing brutal language and escalating violence with a wonderfully written and deftly performed script, debut director Taylor comes up with the goods by the bucketload, turning the predictable into the surprising.
