Worst Cooks Exit Interview: Georg Colemanby FN Dish Editor in Shows, February 21st, 2011
Why did you need or want to be on Worst Cooks in America?
When I initially found out that I had been nominated by my beloved wife, I did not believe that I needed to be on Worst Cooks in America. After giving a grand attempt at cooking for the audition process, my perception quickly changed. The chefs were eager to point out that processed foods are not of the greatest quality for my family, especially my toddler. They also helped me see that cooking with only myself in mind (my likes/dislikes) might actually be contributing to the tension in my marriage around domestic responsibilities and that my wife might actually have a valid point. I now realize that I still prepare foods and eat like a bachelorette – that I really need some guidance in how to be a better partner and mom when it comes to cooking. I have always liked food prepared on the caramelized (burnt) side – and have set off many a fire alarm to prove it. If I did not get on WCIA, there is a good chance that my marriage would have been doomed.
What was the most valuable tip or piece of advice that you received from Chef Robert?
I learned so many valuable tips and tools from Chef Robert. Three things are most prominent in my mind from my experience on WCIA. One of the most important pieces of advice he gave was how to keep my fingers out of the way when cutting, chopping and preparing foods to cook. I am still not the greatest at this… but have a lot more awareness. A second tidbit of information that was emphasized and reemphasized during the show was 'Cleanliness is next to Godliness' regarding keeping our stations clean. However, the most valuable tip I personally received from Chef Robert was to cook with confidence… no matter how it all turns out!
What did you take away from the experience?
I took away so much more from this experience than I ever bargained for. I went into the show thinking that I would learn some great cooking skills from the top chefs on the Food Network, that I would have at least a few days in NYC, and that I would possibly meet some cool people. What I came away with was a new perspective on cooking, my family and life overall. I walked away from WCIA a transformed person in many ways. Being in such intimate circumstances with virtual strangers forced me to bring forth compassion, understanding, tolerance and acceptance in ways I have never known before. I have been married for 5 years… and this was a more intimately challenging situation that lasted a lot less than 5 years. That being said, I developed friendships that will last for a very long time as a result of mutually sharing such a bizarre and awesome experience. I would not be able to adequately articulate what I experienced to anyone who was not there to share it with me. It was the experience of a lifetime and one I am so grateful to have had.

Approxi-mately 45 percent of the water is discharged to the west and 25 percent is discharged to the east with the remainder, about 30 percent, going to the Everglades Agricultural area. The Everglades today is less than half the area it used to be." Judah said that the state must find a way to stop the excessive releases into the St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee rivers by purchasing land south of Lake Okeechobee so water could be released to the estuaries and provide more water to the Everglades. That could be accomplished by purchasing land south of the lake. "That's what Amendment 1 money was intended for," Judah said. "It is intended for this type of purchase but was used instead to balance the state's budget even though the 75 percent of the voters that voted for Amendment 1 have in fact been overruled by the state Legislature." Judah's next slide was a Googly-Earth image of northwest Cape Coral, Matlacha Isles, Matlacha and the area in Cape Coral known as the Seven Islands project. The Seven Islands project runs west of, and parallel to, Burnt Store Road between Embers Parkway and Tropicana Parkway. These Seven Islands are actually seven man-made islands (approximately 48 acres) created when the spreader was dredged. The city of Cape Coral purchased the property in 2012 and has been planning development. As of today there are five plans that include condominiums, shopping, hotels and buildings up to 12 stories.

It is times like these we could all use a little quick cash to help us out, a mayday loan to save the day. It is your financial concern that is of paramount importance to the lender. To be eligible for these loans, you interest rates on business loans need to pledge some valuable asset as collateral. Many lenders are happy to loan the money you must have to pay for your college expenses. Myth No. 6: All SBA lenders are the same Most credit criteria vary from lender to lender. Consolidation also allows you to get a lower interest rate and thereby save you a lot of money over the life of the loan.
Refinancing upside-down car loan is also a good option for the people as refinancing allows you to redefine your loan terms. For instance, earlier this year I was having some trouble with my air conditioning unit. One of the additional features of this dealer/finance program is that shipping to your location is an additional option for you. With refinancing you can even shorten your loan term and pay off the loan much faster and do not loose any more money on the car. This did not go over well with one of the other dogs, and as a result, landed us in the emergency room of the local veterinary clinic with a serious bite on the top of Rosies head. There is hope you can remove this mark from your report and, with some luck, you may be able to remove the debt entirely. Your personal requirements are unlimited, but, guaranteed unsecured loans offer you the means to realize your dreams.

Another Republican is speaking out against a new Web video from the National Rifle Association that makes a political point using President Obama's daughters.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) on Thursday called the ad "reprehensible." And now John Ryder, a longtime Republican National Committee member from Tennessee, tells Post Politics that he agrees with Christie that Obama's daughters should be off-limits.
"I think the use of the President's children in any such ad is inappropriate," Ryder said in an e-mail. "I use different language, but I'm not from [New Jersey]."
The ad notes that Obama's daughters have armed guards but that the president doesn't support posting armed guards to protect the children in America's schools.

Hi all,
I'm set on getting the Farpoint 55 as my backpack but just wondering if any of you are aware as to what the main differences are between the S/M and M/L? I know the capacity of the S/M is 52l as opposed to 55l and there's an extra 2 inches in the height of the M/L. Does anyone know if there is any difference in the length of the hip belt or any other measurements?

VIENNA (Mar. 15)
Austria today extended de facto recognition to the Government of Israel, becoming the 46th nation to do so. Kurt Lewin, Israeli representative here, will shortly leave for Tel Aviv to discuss the problem of establishing an Israeli consulate in the Austrian capital.
One thousand Jewish DP's today left the American zone of Austria for Naples route to Israel. The party included a number of men between the ages of 18 and 45, and thus became the first transport of Jewish refugees of military age to leave for Israel since the lifting of the U.S. Army ban on the emigration of Jews of military age.

Man found dead beneath tractor
Northern Indiana authorities say a man found dead beneath a tractor may have been stricken with a medical condition before he fell beneath the machine.
Lake County coroner's office spokesman PJ Adams tells The Times of Munster that 59-year-old Steven Seckendorf was found dead Friday night under a tractor outside his Calumet Township home.
Adams said Saturday that no foul play is suspected, but an autopsy is being performed to determine whether Seckendorf died of natural causes prior to falling under the tractor.
Adams was found pinned under the tractor with lacerations to one of his legs.

The National Athletic Trainers' Association (NATA) was founded in 1950 when the first meeting of the NATA took place in Kansas City. About 200 athletic trainers gathered to discuss the future of their profession.
Recognizing the need for a set of professional standards and appropriate professional recognition, the NATA has helped to unify certified athletic trainers across the country by setting a standard for professionalism, education, certification, research and practice settings. Since its inception, the NATA has been a driving force behind the recognition of the athletic training profession.
Once housed in Greenville, NC, the NATA now is headquartered in Dallas, TX. From humble beginnings, the association has expanded to encompass a global membership totaling more than 30,000, plus a full-time executive director and staff. Members serve as leaders for the association, which has multiple committees working together to help advance the profession.
A complete history of the NATA and the development of the athletic training profession is included in the hardcover book, "Far Beyond the Shoe Box: Fifty Years of the National Athletic Trainers' Association."

During the quarter, on April 12th, T-Mobile started selling the Apple iPhone 5. Not including MetroPCS, the iPhone accounted for roughly 29% of T-Mobile's branded gross customer additions and upgrade smartphone sales. Other smartphones also sold well in the quarter including the Samsung Galaxy S4. The carrier sold 4.3 million smartphones in the quarter, representing 86% of all handsets sold in the period. In the 2012 period, 71% of all handsets sold were smartphones.
As of July 10th, T-Mobile had LTE service up and running in 116 metro markets covering 157 million people. This means that T-Mobile is ahead of its mid-year target of reaching 100 million people. The goal before the end of the year is for T-Mobile's LTE signal to reach 200 million people. T-Mobile also helped MetroPCS double its presence to 30 markets from 15 markets. MetroPCS customers are experiencing data speeds as much as 7 times faster than they previously had before the deal with T-Mobile closed.
For the quarter, T-Mobile reported EBITDA of $1.1 billion. Second quarter revenue rose 7.9% year-over-year led by the strong smartphone sales. With more customers electing to go with the Value and Simple Choice plans (50% as of June 30th), the branded postpaid ARPU dropped in the quarter by 6.5% to $53.60.
"T-Mobile's Un-carrier approach has clearly resonated with consumers. By fixing the things that drive them mad, like contracts and upgrades, and freeing them from the two-year sentences imposed on them by our competitors, they are choosing the new T-Mobile in unprecedented numbers. We are just beginning and we will continue to apply this innovative thinking to the Un-carrier offers we create and to the internal operations of our company, which taken together are driving significant shareholder value creation."-John Legere, President & CEO, T-Mobile

This is a recipe I found in The Age Newspaper last year -'05. It was the author's own mucking about from a few sources so may not be 100 % authentic - but then not much is... It's a wonderful sour dimension from the fruit combined with the fattiness of the lamb and punch of mint. Worth a try, really unusual. Even better the next day...
See Discussion:

An 18-year-old man's legs have been slashed with a machete, after walking through an Leda IGA carpark with his friend.
Police said the pair were walking home at 3am on Saturday, when they were confronted by three men on Feilman Drive.
They were asked to hand over their belongings. While one was hit a number of times with a machete.
Police said the three attackers fled the scene empty-handed. The injured man was later treated at Rockingham Hospital for lacerations to his legs and bruising.
The three males are described as dark skinned and aged between 16 and 21 years.
Anyone who can provide further information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Meanwhile, the Islamic Republic of Iran that grabbed power in the wake of the shah has proved remarkably durable, surviving internal faction and dissent as well as external sanctions. While Iran's rise to regional dominance has been often foretold and never realized, and the exact state of its nuclear program is opaque, Khamenei and Ahmadinejad have good reason to believe that their time is near. Even without the nukes, the Arab cacophony is, mostly, sweet harmony to Tehran.
As is the American withdrawal. In 2008, the United States looked as though it was in Iraq to stay. Even Barack Obama had moderated his campaign promises of a precipitate retreat. His lieutenants, particularly in the Pentagon, where Robert Gates still ruled and a cadre of Trumanesque Democrats filled most policy posts, talked of a continuing if lesser garrison and a renegotiated "status of forces" agreement. And in 2009, the president pledged his own "surge" of troops in Afghanistan. But that commitment was hedged by an even stronger commitment to a date-certain drawdown, and Obama was out of Iraq by 2011. Since then, there's been a series of events—the abandonment of Hosni Mubarak, the "leading from behind" campaign in Libya, persistent public displeasure with Benjamin Netanyahu, the empty call for Assad "to go," the "Pacific pivot," reductions to the defense budget—that adds up to a pretty clear signal: The Middle East is now, at best, an "economy of force" interest for the United States. The Obama Doctrine—let it burn—has supplanted the Carter Doctrine, under which control of the Persian Gulf region was deemed a vital U.S. interest.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Microsoft Corp. on Monday unveiled two new models of its Surface tablets as part of the software giant's efforts to make headway in the tablet market and come back from a huge write-down it took against an earlier version of the Surface in July.
At an event in New York, Microsoft MSFT, +1.48% showed off the Surface 2 and the Surface Pro 2, as well as several services the company hopes will lure consumers and business customers away from Apple Inc. AAPL, +1.72% and tablets running on Google Inc.'s GOOG, +2.06% Android operating system.
The Surface 2 will come in two models, with either 32 gigabytes or 64GB of storage, and starting at $449, while the Surface Pro 2 will come with an entry price tag of $899 for models ranging from 64GB to 512GB of storage. The new Surface models will be available for preordering on Tuesday and will be in retail outlets starting Oct. 22.
Microsoft said anyone purchasing either of the new Surface models will also receive free Skype calling to landlines in more than 60 countries and unlimited Skype Wi-Fi on their Surface devices for one year, and 200GB worth of free cloud-based SkyDrive storage for two years.
The Surface releases come after what was possibly the busiest summer in Microsoft's history. Since July, Microsoft has launched a sweeping corporate reorganization, Chief Executive Steve Ballmer has said he would retire within a year, and Microsoft said it would purchase Nokia Corp.'s NOK, +1.30% mobile-phone handset and device business for more than $7 billion.
And also in July, Microsoft said it would take a write-down of about $900 million related to inventory of its Surface RT table, which the company launched in October 2012. Still, some analysts say that even a charge like that isn't going to keep Microsoft from pushing the Surface and its Windows operating system as an alternative to the iPad and Android devices that rule the tablet market.
Sarah Rotman Epps of Forrester Research said in a research note Monday that Surface remains "a linchpin for Microsoft's new devices and services strategy," even though it won't be an immediate best-seller for the company.
"It's [Microsoft] not giving up," Epps said. "Microsoft is doubling down on Surface [and] making needed hardware improvements to appeal to businesses and consumers." Epps said that while the first versions of the Surface tablets couldn't compete well against Apple's products, the new models offer better features for potential customers.
Investors were largely unfazed by the new Surface launch, as Microsoft's stock shed 5 cents to close at $33.94.

Small Manufacturing Industries: The Impact of Environmental Regulation
This paper examines the impact of environmental issues on small Indian enterprises. Due to India's rapid industrialization the environment is now becoming more of a major business concern. This paper compares small with large enterprises to see of there are any differences in the way they approach environmental issues. Small firms in particular, have been encouraged and given due assistance by the Indian government but this policy now conflicts with India's environmental responsibilities as findings in this paper indicates they poorly respond to attaining social responsibility and acknowledging environmental policies.

Wallabies coach Robbie Deans could not contain himself over his acclaim for the speed, physicality and excitement of the clash between the Reds and British and Irish Lions in Brisbane on Saturday - even if it ended with him putting a lid on the prospect of Quade Cooper making his Test squad.
With the official announcement of six extra players to join the 25-man Wallabies squad now expected to be made as early as Monday, Deans also confirmed that one of them would be Rebels playmaker Kurtley Beale, who trained with the Wallabies last week.
He also indicated that Wallaby great George Smith could still make a return before the Lions series is over should he recover from injury in time.
Deans, who was at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane on Saturday to watch the Reds-Lions fixture when the Lions beat a determined Queensland side captained by Cooper 22-12, then lauded the game on Sunday as ''a great game of rugby''.
''That first 20 minutes was an exhibition of rugby that we haven't seen for some time. The game also had a lot of physicality as well. It was a remarkable contrast between the first and second half. The [wet] weather conditions [in the second half] might have contributed to that, but it was also a reflection of how much both sides put in to the first period of play."
Deans even smiled as he said the Ewen McKenzie-coached Reds had helped force the Lions to reveal more about their game than they had in their two earlier games – against the Barbarians in Hong Kong and then against the Western Force last Wednesday night – as he had hoped they would.
"You learn something in every instance and the Reds asked a lot of them," Deans said on Sunday. "They [the Lions] also asked a lot. They were pretty clinical.
"And they had the 'lions share' – if you like – of field position, and it paid dividends for them. But they also profited from counter-attack. It wasn't as if they were narrow in what they did. They were very effective in carrying the ball back when they were given the opportunity as well."
But then, Deans put the lid down on Cooper's chances of making the 31-man Wallabies squad to be named for first Test against the Lions on June 22. "Quade is a huge talent. He showed that [Saturday]," Deans said. "We understand what he is capable of ... We have not included him in the additional six at this stage, but as you've seen [on Saturday], things happen quickly."
The recall of Beale was evident when he arrived at Caloundra as one of several extra players to the 25-man squad that trained in Sydney last week, including injured Digby Ioane (knee) , back-rower Peter Kimlin (Brumbies), halfback Luke Burgess (Rebels), prop Scott Sio (Brumbies) and utility back Pat McCabe (Brumbies). Also due to arrive was hooker James Hanson (Reds) and, pending how he got through Sunday's Super Rugby game between the Force and Waratahs in Perth, back-rower Hugh McMeniman.
Asked if Beale would be one of the extra six players named, Deans said "'Yes, that's correct," although he said it was pending on how Beale trained on Monday.

A big announcement was made impacting the political landscape in Mississippi Monday morning. State Treasurer Tate Reeves announced his candidacy for Lieutenant Governor in his hometown.
"I can't imagine making an announcement of this type anywhere else," Reeves said. "It's on basketball courts in Florence and other small towns in Mississippi, where I learned a whole lot of life lessons."
The gymnasium at Florence Middle School served as the backdrop for Reeves declaration. There students, supporters and voters listened to Reeves' ideas and goals for the 2011 campaign.
"Public policy is what matters to me," Reeves said. "We've come a long way under Governor Barbour. We have a lot more to do and that's an area in which I can serve to help improve our state."
With his announcement Reeves officially joined State Senator Billy Hewes as Republicans running for Lt. Gov. As of now, they are the only two candidates to start campaigns which will culminate with party primaries in August.
No Democrats have announced a campaign for lt. gov., and current lt. gov., Republican Phil Bryant, is running for governor.
Reeves has served Mississippi as treasurer since 2003.

The Rogers High School parking lot will be crowded today (Saturday).
In the 10th annual River Battle, the Elk River and Rogers boys basketball teams tangle at 3 p.m. and girls at 5 p.m. All four squads are competitive, and the rivalry is livelier than ever now that both play in the same section. The Rogers girls lead the series 5-4, but the Elks have won three in a row. The Elk boys lead the series 8-2 and won last year's game.
Across the parking lot, Rogers boys hockey (6-1-1) hosts longtime nemesis Hermantown at 3 p.m. Because the Royals were in Section 7A the past four years, they dueled the Iron Rangers seven times, losing them all, with just one close game, 2-1, two years ago. The Royals are hoping they've closed the gap against Hermantown, state Class A runner-up four straight years.
There's actually two other Royals-Elks clashes today. The girls hockey teams will duel in Elk River at 7 p.m. Elk coach Joe Heasley said this won't be an annual thing; it just worked out this year. In gymnastics, Elk River-Rogers-Zimmerman is hosting a five-team meet at 11 a.m. and Rogers and Elk River will compete separately.
Switching loyalties
Tempestt Wilson is ERHS's all-time scoring leader but she and her family will be rooting for the Royals in the River Battle boys game today. Her younger brother, Allen, opted last year to enroll at Rogers. Just a sophomore, he's already making his mark on varsity, with a 23-point game off the bench in a loss at Brainerd on Monday.
Switching sides
Royal basketball coach Karlee Anderson will face her alma mater for the first time when the Royals meet the Rockford Rockets in the Jordan tourney Dec. 27. "Looking forward to playing my hometown team," said Anderson, who scored 1,778 points for the Rockets. "I still know a couple of their players from camps when I was in high school."
Rematch for Elk girls
Elk River and STMA girl cagers will have a rematch of last year's section championship at STMA's tournament on Dec. 27. The Knights beat the Elks twice last year. Elk River, deep and athletic but young and erratic, will lose a few in the rugged NWSC this year, but have as good a chance as anyone in the section. That game will be a good indicator as will be today's game against Rogers.
Z-men in college hoops
Four Zimmerman graduates are playing college basketball. Jake Wilson has appeared in six games at UM-Duluth in limited action as a freshman. Brandon Giese, junior guard at Concordia-Moorhead, averages 11.8 points, for the Cobbers (4-5). Michael Jenson and Caleb Lunning are teammates at St. Olaf. Jenson, a senior, has played in all eight games for the Oles (5-3), averaging 1.0 point. Lunning, a sophomore, has gotten into six games.

I was going to write something long and critical about Ryan Howard asking for $18 million in arbitration, but then Melky Cabrera's crazier arbitration demand came along.
Darn, it now seems that Melky and the Yankees have come to an agreement, thereby mooting all of the snark I had stored up overnight. Still, this is probably a good thing, because if they didn't, the Yankees would have had to use that PowerPoint presentation they made up illustrating Cabrera's true value, and whoever put the deck together would likely have been subject to prosecution under New York's obscenity laws if it ever saw the light of day.
So back to Howard. Eighteen million dollars is an awful lot of money. More money than Albert Pujols will make in 2009 and not that much less than Mark Teixeira will make. This a year after he posted a .339 OBP and a 124 OPS+. Yes, he hits many pretty home runs and the writers went ga-ga over him in the MVP voting, but when your OPS is in the same ballpark as Andre Ethier and Brad Hawpe's, and you don't even crack the top 15 in Win Shares in the National League, $18 million is a little rich.
The Phillies are offering Howard $14 million. I think even that may be a tad high, but since the arbitrators have to go with one of the numbers presented to them, that's where they should come out.

Ty Burrell: Modern Family's daggy dad
Alice Jones Five years ago, Ty Burrell was ready to quit acting. He was 41 years old and had a solid couple of decades in the business behind him: a handful of Hollywood movies (Black Hawk Down,Dawn of the Dead, The Incredible Hulk), countless summers of Shakespeare, including a Macbeth on Broadway, enough television roles to fill an A4 page. Not bad, better than most, but no killer role to lift him from slogging around the audition circuit to walking the red carpet.

Publisher after publisher had rejected the novel, loosely based on the life of his great-grandfather Giulio Fabrizio Tomasi, that he had been working on in the last years of his life. They found it too old-fashioned, politically too conservative. Then, after Lampedusa's death, the left-leaning Milan publishing house Feltrinelli unexpectedly accepted the manuscript. The Leopard, published in 1958, achieved worldwide success. It was the basis for what is arguably Luchino Visconti's greatest film, released in 1963.

Possible Cowboys target Gordon injures quad
Former Baylor wide receiver Josh Gordon worked out for several NFL teams Tuesday during his pro day in Houston and the Cowboys were one of them.
In preparation for Thursday's NFL Supplemental Draft, Gordon ran a 4.52-second 40-yard dash, according to Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio.
Caplan reported that 21 teams watched Gordon turn in a 36-inch vertical leap and 10-foot-1 broad jump.
However, the 6-foot-3, 224-pounder suffered a minor setback as he pulled his left quadriceps while running the 40-yard dash. But he was able to finish all routes in the workouts and didn't drop a pass, according to Caplan.
The Cowboys could be interested in adding Gordon if the price is right, considering their open competition at the No. 3 receiver position.
Looking for a comparison to see where Gordon could've been drafted in April? Here's one from Tony Grossi, a Cleveland Browns analyst from ESPNCleveland.com.
"Josh Gordon's pro day workout numbers bear a striking resemblance to another receiver taken in the third round of the regular NFL draft," Grossi tweeted. "Gordon timed 4.52 in the 40, had a vertical jump of 36 in., a broad jump of 10 ft., 1 in., and had 13 reps in the bench press. At the NFL combine, DeVier Posey timed 4.50, had a VJ of 36.5, a BJ of 10′-2″, and 14 reps in the bench.
"Posey was a 3rd round pick of Houston, 68th overall. One difference: Gordon measured 6-3 1/8 and 224 pounds. Posey is 6-1 3/4 and 211."

- For registered systems, the activation must be repeated to get a new license. The exact procedure is described below:
Please note: UCS 4.0-1 errata158 or newer is required to use the UCS Core Edition. Please upgrade your UCS system first if you use an older version.
Upgrade procedure
- Login as user "Administrator" to the UCS Management Console on the UCS Domaincontroller Master.
- Download the new "Core edition" license from <https://forge.univention.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=6802> and save it to a local file. Alternatively, copy the following content into the clipboard:
- Open the menu in the top-right corner next to the user name "Administrator" and navigate to "License" → "Import new license"
- Either import the license from the file using "Import from file..." or by pasting the content into the text box and selecting "Import from text field".
- Open the same menu again and this time navigate to "Activation of UCS":
- Enter your email address and press "Send license". A new page for importing the license is displayed.
- Wait for the email containing the new license file to arrive. Copy the attached "ucs.license" file to a local directory.
- On the activation page, press the button "Upload license file..." and select the license file.

An 18-month journey ensues when a group of champion surfers go in search of the world's gnarliest waves.
This pretty standard surfing documentary promises more than it delivers. The Billabong Odyssey, we are informed, is a three-year project in which the world's best big-wave surfers are assembled in order to scour the globe for hitherto unsurfed huge breaks.
Expectations of an Endless Summer-style quest are dashed, as in fact mostly what they do is go around the world competing in all the usual competitions and train a bit with jet skis. It's no substitute for Stacy Peralta's magnificent Riding Giants (2004), but may be worth catching simply for an astonishing opening shot in which a slow, glorious camera pullback reveals what these guys really mean by "big waves"!
A bit flat, but fans of the genre should be appetised for 'the big one'.

Sleep Disorders
Difficulty Coming Out of Sleep
Occasionally, it seems difficult to come fully awake. I can hear things around me, but must concentrate very hard to come fully awake. I am unable to move or speak, but hear myself moaning. My hearting is beating fast when I finally I become fully conscious.
Feeling like you cannot move when you awaken can be a frightening and anxiety producing sensation. Surprisingly, up to 15-40% of young adults experience this at least once in their lifetime and as many as 5-6% have this occur recurrently.
There are a number of different potential causes for the sensations you describe, though this most likely represents a phenomenon known as "sleep paralysis". Sleep paralysis is usually described as the inability to perform voluntary movements either at sleep onset or upon awakening. Individuals often report an inability to speak or move the limbs, trunk or head. Though there may be a sensation of an inability to breath, breathing and the breathing muscles are actually not affected. Individuals usually can recall the event. The episode typically only lasts for seconds up to a few minutes though may feel much longer to the individual experiencing it. Sleep paralysis tends to resolve on its own. Occasionally, the episode will end if the person is touched or spoken to. To those someone in sleep paralysis, they look they are asleep
Episodes of sleep paralysis can be very anxiety producing. Hallucinations, whether hearing or seeing things that are not present, can accompany the event. All-in-all, the experience can be somewhat frightening. Sleep paralysis can be seen in isolation or it can run in families. It tends to be brought on by lack of adequate sleep, keeping an irregular sleep schedule and being under excessive stress. While most of the time sleep paralysis is not associated with other medical conditions, it can be one of the signs of narcolepsy (individuals with this condition are also very sleepy).
Sleep paralysis usually first appears in young adults and tends to disappear with aging. Other than reassurance and avoiding situations that may bring on the episodes, no treatment is needed in most cases.
Other medical conditions that can appear with similar symptoms to sleep paralysis include compressed nerves, cataplexy (sudden loss of muscle control in emotionally charged situations such as laughing), seizures, and panic attacks. Most of these conditions can be separated from sleep paralysis by specific factors from the medical history.
If you are concerned about your symptoms or would like to exclude the other possibilities mentioned above, I recommend you discuss your problems with your primary care doctor. They can then decide if referral to a Sleep Specialist is needed for further evaluation.

Samsung says 25 million of its phones have Carrier IQ
components of Carrier IQ and could trigger some of the available CIQ detector apps. However, the software on these units is dormant and there is no word on whether or not this software will be removed from the phones. Samsung's official comment on this reads, "Because the CIQ agent and other required CIQ software components are not installed, however, these vestigial elements do not and will not function on these devices, and therefore, the devices do not transmit (and never have transmitted) any user data using any CIQ software functionality."
While there is no word on which phones have the dormant CIQ code, Samsung did release a list of its Android models that contain Carrier IQ. Those models include the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket for AT&T. Sprint models include the Samsung Moment, Samsung Epic 4G, Samsung Intercept, Samsung Transform, Samsung Galaxy Tab (original 7 inch model), Samsung Galaxy Prevail, Samsung Replenish, Samsung Conquer 4G, Samsung Transform Ultra (Boost Mobile) and the Samsung Epic 4G Touch. A pair of T-Mobile branded Android phones end the list, the Samsung Galaxy S II and the Samsung Exhibit II 4G.

The 33-year-old reality star said that her brother sent her an email which said he was leaving ahead of her nuptials to Kanye West, adding that 'there was no fight.'
Kim Kardashian opened up about why her brother, Rob Kardashian, skipped her wedding to Kanye West in Florence, Italy back in May. At that time, Rob flew out to Florence with his family to attend his sister's nuptials but then flew home to Los Angeles before the wedding ever happened.
In an interview with Andy Cohen on "Watch What Happens Live" on Tuesday, August 12, Kim revealed, "He sent me a long email the morning of that he was gonna leave and there was no fight. I just thought, 'You know what? This is my day. I'm not even gonna worry about it. I hope he's OK. I totally understand that he wouldn't want to see a lot of people if he was feeling uncomfortable.' "
The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star continued, "You know, you can only pray and wish that someone would not wish out on more memories in life 'cause life's about memories. So, fix the problem. That's just how I am, but we didn't even have a conversation about it."
Earlier on the show, Kim revealed that she wasn't "non-emphatic" over Rob's issues. "My brother and I are so close, he's one of my best friends," she said, "I'm definitely a tough-love kind of person. If I don't like something that's going on in my life, I change it, and I don't sit and complain about it for a year."
"I try to encourage him and once you don't make that change for so long, and it's not happening, I get frustrated. My patience runs out," she added.

MUFFY drive gets off to a good start
Byline info is not available
Monday, September 23, 2013 10:00 PM
Two cents, which is about how much Timmons said his columns are worth, appears periodically on Tuesdays in The Paper. Timmons is the publisher of The Paper and can be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The headline on this column scares me. Yes, it's true that the annual campaign to raise money for the Montgomery County United Fund is looking good. The Pacesetter portion wrapped up last week and MUFFY Executive Director David Johnson said donations were ahead of the same period a year ago.
Johnson also says that there are some other very encouraging signs.
That's what scares me.
The last thing that anyone needs at this point is the feeling that things are OK, that the generosity and kindness exhibited by so many people to this point, is enough.
It's not.
Just for the record, the annual MUFFY drive went through a period where it generated more than half a million dollars each year. It did so more than a dozen years ago and soared above that magic mark half a dozen or so times. And then the money started shrinking. It dipped below $500,000 and didn't climb back. The organization had to learn to survive on $480,000, then $450,000 and last year, it fell off the edge, finishing around $375,000.
So this year's drive is off to a good start. Please, please, please don't assume that means things are OK. We have a long way to go.
Why does it matter? Whether it's $500,000 or $375,000, what makes the difference? Where does that money go?
Fair questions, all.
If you are considering giving money that you work hard to earn, the least you should get is solid information about where it goes and what it does.
To begin with, I can tell you that I've been lucky enough to have worked with United Ways and United Funds in several communities. They are good organizations. They are frugal. Unlike some groups where things spiral out of control, like AHEAD, the United Funds take their fiduciary responsibility very seriously. They pinch pennies and keep a sharp eye on the dollars you so kindly donate. For MUFFY, more than 90 cents of each dollar historically goes directly to the organizations - which means less than a dime is for administration. To be fair, that number dipped into the eighties a year ago, but that's only because the donations have fallen so far.
So what makes the difference? The easiest answer is jobs and programs. When more than a quarter of the funding is gone, the money simply isn't there to pay staffs and to pay for programs. There have been jobs lost, hours cut and programs dropped in the last few years. Simply put, that means that those who need our help the most aren't getting as much of it. Not even close.
That's why this year is so important. That's why it's scary. A good start does not guarantee a good finish. We need help. We need you.
Montgomery County has such a rich history of helping those in need. Remember when Velma Keesling from the Red Cross used to knock on doors - and the many, many good people who answered? Well, so far this year, that's happening again. The MUFFY drive is off to a good start. It has a long way to go. Please remember that when someone knocks on your door this year.

Excerpts of posts in same category displayed on the sidebar of single.php
How do I display several post excerpts (preferably on the sidebar) on single.php? I intend to display a few post excerpts from the same category of the single post.
I am trying to make wordpress use multiple single.php each for different categories. This one I already figured out. Each category-specific single.php has different styling & layout, the single post on the main content div and the same category posts on a secondary div.
I just need help with the exerpts from the same posts. I don't want to use a related-posts plugin. I just want to learn how the wordpress tags works.
Should it be within a single loop or through multiple loops? If on multiple loops, then how do I exclude the single post from the being displayed twice?
- The topic 'Excerpts of posts in same category displayed on the sidebar of single.php' is closed to new replies.

Britain's Got Talent runner-up Susan Boyle has made history by releasing the best-selling debut album since records began.
I Dreamed a Dream went straight to number one, selling more than all the rest of the top five.
She's an unusual pop star so we want to know if her album is on your Christmas list this year.
Are you listening to SuBo? Or is someone in your family into her music?
Will you buy her album? Or do you prefer to just download singles you like online?
Unfortunately this topic is now closed, but there are Comments pages on other subjects on the main Chat index.

Thai takeover suitor Banpu has received unconditional support from the Australian Treasurer for its $2.4 billion offer for
Banpu's $2.4 billion off market bid for Centennial was launched in July, and has since been backed by the Centennial board and Banpu shareholders.
On Monday, Banpu's ownership in the company was hovering around 38.34 per cent, according to a Centennial Coal spokesperson, which included the 19.89 per cent they owned before the takeover.
Thailand's Banpu on Monday extended by a week its offer period for shares in Centennial.
The cut-off date for the offer has been extended from September 27 to October 5.
In its notice to the Australian Securities Exchange, Banpu said the extension meant that Centennial shareholders who already had accepted the offer may withdraw their acceptance by giving notice to Banpu within one month.
Centennial operates nine coal mines, mainly in the Hunter Valley in NSW.

Amid MRSA chaos, Schiano trying to maintain focus
TAMPA -- With his team dealing with a third player being diagnosed with a MRSA staph infection, Bucs coach Greg Schiano said the team learned important information from an hourlong meeting with a infectious disease specialist before Friday's practice.
"As in anything, I think so much of the fear is the unknown, so as we became better educated, we all kind of understand the gameplan of how to make sure this doesn't become a bigger problem," Schiano said.
The Bucs confirmed a third player has MRSA -- joining starting guard Carl Nicks, who suffered a recurrence this week, and kicker Lawrence Tynes, who is out of the season after being diagnosed in August. Multiple national reports said that player is rookie cornerback Johnthan Banks, the team's highest draft pick in April and a key player as the Bucs face a prolific Eagles offense on Sunday afternoon.
The Bucs declined to confirm the third player's identity, citing his request for privacy, but Banks was the only player not at Friday's practice who hadn't already been listed on the team's injury report. Receiver Mike Williams and Nicks were absent but have been limited by injuries this week. As serious as the MRSA infections can be, the Bucs haven't ruled out Nicks or Banks playing Sunday if cleared.
"We'll move some guys around, if need be," Schiano said. "I don't know what the final outcome is going to be on all the situations. I'm not going to lock in anything in my mind right now, other than have flexibility, other than that's why you train guys with the first-team guy, the second-team guy, or some mix or match of both."
While Nicks could play Sunday, he also may require surgery as the most effective means of assuring no further MRSA infections in his injured left foot. He said he was "disappointed" and "concerned" after learning Thursday that Nicks had a recurrence.
"It isn't easy, what he's been through, to feel like it's behind you, then all the sudden. It's a tricky deal," Schiano said. "Medicine, as much as we'd like it to be an exact science, it's not."
Schiano said it's "too early" to know whether surgery is ahead for Nicks -- or how long that would sideline a player who has already missed nine of the last 11 games -- but he recognizes it is a possibility.
"Right now, I think it's 'Hey, we've got to get this thing gone, and whatever that's going to take, we're going to do," Schiano said. "We're not going to to overboard, but whatever it's going to take, with the smartest people in the world who know how to fix this, that's what we're going to do and listen to them."
It seems counterintuitive that an infection that can be spread by physical contact could somehow bring a team closer together, but Schiano said he's counting on the bonding aspect of what the Bucs are enduring having a positive impact on the team's unity.
"In all these kinds of situations, you see your guys come together. They're concerned for each other," Schiano said. "... Out of anything, good can come. This team's coming together, and we're going to stick behind our guys that are sick, stick together for each other. ... Adversity reveals character, and I think some good character is coming out of this."

Changes are coming for an influential homegrown business, but just what those changes are remains to be seen.
A stock agreement signed Monday was followed by the Wednesday night announcement of the acquisition of Terry's Tire Town by American Tire Distributors Inc. (ATD), a Huntersville, N.C.-based tire and wheel distributor looking to further expand its reach in the Northeast.
ATD distribution centers in the Canton, Columbus, Cleveland and Cincinnati areas are among 109 across the U.S. and 24 in Canada, and the company opened facilities in the New Jersey, Long Island and New England markets in the last two years, according to a company spokesman.
Terry's Tire Town, which began as a single store, was founded in 1972 by the Terry Jr. and Judy Tolerton family and is now run by CEO Will Tolerton, who negotiated the sale of all retail stores to Monroe Muffler and Brake in October 2011.
The Alliance tire business grew over the years, entering the wholesale market in the early 1980s, and has since been recognized as a key player in the local economy. Terry's Tire Town was recognized as the Large Business of the Year by the Alliance Area Chamber of Commerce in 2003 and as Business of the Year and Outstanding Business by the Canton Regional Chamber of Commerce in 2005. Tolerton was also named the Alliance Chamber's Spirit of Enterprise recipient in 2012.
The CEO is no stranger to partnerships and expansions, as he entered into business with Talisman Capital Partners in November 2010, and the company acquired wholesalers Summit of New England in February 2011 and Englewood Tire Wholesale in December 2011.
"It (the ATD stock purchase) was not the intended direction to grow the company, but there's many curves and turns in the road. This is a significant step for Terry's Tire Town -- one that will bring new opportunities for our customers and employees," said Tolerton, who also expressed thanks for customer loyalty over the years. "On a personal note, I couldn't be more proud of our team and what they've done to build Terry's Tire Town into what it is today."
"I have mixed reactions," Tom Pukys, president of Alliance Area Development, said of the announcement. "Terry's Tire Town has been an integral part of the community for many years, and an integral part of the landscape here. I am thankful for all that the Tolerton family has done; they are a very hardworking and philanthropic family. I am also anxious to meet with representatives from American Tire to see how Alliance may factor into their plan."
Tolerton said he is uncertain of American Tire's plans for the Alliance headquarters or its 10 distribution centers, but indicated officials hope to do right by Terry's Tire Town employees, which number around 125.
"We really want to join forces with them and continue to offer the services they're offering now and more," said Ron Sinclair, senior vice president of marketing for ATD. "One thing we really pride ourselves on is treating our customers and employees with respect. We value our people significantly more than the products we sell."
"The opportunity for ATD and Terry's Tire Town to join forces is very positive for the future of both companies and for our customers," said William Berry, president and CEO of American Tire Distributors, in a release. "After the transaction closes, we will be able to offer all the services and programs customers enjoy today, plus much more."
Tire industry publication reports indicated the outstanding capital stock sale of $345 million "could be as much as $20 million higher due to 'additional consideration contingent upon the occurrence of certain post-closing events,' ATD said in an 8K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission."
Acquisition closing is expected in late March or early April, and in the meantime, both companies will continue to function independently.

I'm actually a tutor at my university. We refer to it as "tutoring" however, the Spanish verb for "to tutor" is tutorar, so "tutoring" would be tutorando. I have also heard it referred to as tutoría escolar. tutorar is taken from www.rae.es
I hope this helps!

If by tutoring sessions you refer to the times at which students at a school or college can talk to the teacher, outside of class, it would be "horas de tutoría".

By Tom Dyson DUNHAM Massey Brewery is toasting success after its beer was crowned CAMRA's Supreme Champion Winter Beer of Britain 2014.
The brewerey received the accolade on February 19 at the National Winter Ales Festival in Derby, courtesy of its flavoursome Dunham Porter.
The winning beer is described as a classic, old-style English Porter; creamy, full-bodied and packed with flavour.
Owner John Costello said: "We're made up. We are a relatively new brewery who love making traditional styles like porters, milds and stouts, and I thought our porter would do well but I can't believe we've won overall champion. I'm over the moon."
The Champion Winter Beer of Britain competition judges the best of the best in terms of classic winter warmers, from thick, rich, dark porters and stouts, to sweet and strong barley wines.
Asked what the secret to success is, John said: "It's all about attention to detail.
"We brew traditional beer and we use traditional English ingredients."
The competition was judged by a panel of beer writers, members of the licensed trade and CAMRA members.
Nik Antona, Champion Winter Beer of Britain director, said: "The Winter Beer of Britain has been given even greater significance in recent years, with the last two winners going on to win the Overall Champion Beer of Britain held at the Great British Beer Festival in the summer, proving these once lesser known styles are perfect for drinking all year round."
John added: "The CAMRA (Champion Winter Beer of Britain) awards mean everything to us. It's the highest accolade a dark beer can earn."
