Stagebenders comedy duo to perform at Wadena VFW
As seen on the "Tonight Show with Jay Leno," Gust Alexander and Kim Thomassen bill themselves with the playful moniker The Stagebenders. Las Vegas Magazine has called them, "600 pounds of Las Vegas showgirl wrapped into two chubby bald guys!"
The two will appear at the Wadena VFW on Saturday, Feb. 25 at 8 p.m. Ticket information is available by calling (218) 632-6951.
The Stagebenders are two junior high school buddies from Minneapolis that cracked up all of their friends. They now play to sellout audiences at concerts, comedy clubs and colleges from coast to coast. They are the only national performers to ever win the "MTV Comedy Challenge" twice in a row.
The Stagebenders love to make people laugh. The St. Paul Pioneer Press has called them, "The Abbot and Costello for the new millennium!" The Minneapolis StarTribune has called them, "The Prince of Banter and the Prince of Glib."
This dynamic duo has television and film appearances that include "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," ABC's "America's Funniest People," MTV's "The Jenny McCarthy Show," the Paramount feature film "TREKKIES 2," and the Coen Brothers' "The Naked Man." They have been featured in national publications such as Esquire and -- believe it or not -- Mechanical Engineering.

DUBLIN (Reuters) - Ireland is not expected to secure a wider deal on refinancing 27 billion euros (22.41 billion pounds) of IOUs by mid-May, the country's deputy finance minister said on Wednesday.
Dublin has been campaigning for months to soften the terms of its bank bailout, and is seeking agreement on this with the troika of lenders comprising the European Union, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund.
"There is no expectation at this stage that the issue will be resolved by the May euro zone group meeting," junior finance minister Brian Hayes told state broadcaster RTE.
"People shouldn't read too much into the fact that the meeting is taking place in the May period," he added. Euro zone finance ministers meet on May 14.
Dublin is principally concentrating on replacing 30 billion euros of high-interest IOUs given mainly to the former Anglo Irish Bank with another instrument that would lengthen their maturity and cut their interest rate.
Ireland struck a deal on Thursday to avoid immediate payment of 3.1 billion euros due on the IOUs, settling the bill by issuing a 13-year bond instead of paying cash.
Dublin now wants a broader deal on refinancing the remaining 27 billion euros of the IOUs - or promissory notes. Such an agreement would ease its funding pain and boost its chances of returning to bond markets next year.
"We've a number of fences to jump before this deal is actually done ... there is an expectation now that deal will come sooner rather than later. But I think there is a lot of work to be done on this," said Hayes.
Dublin will engage with the international troika of lenders when they return to Ireland in 2 weeks time, then it must gain support from the remaining 16 euro zone countries, said the minister.
"That will involve a huge amount of political engagement to get the issue over the line," he added.
The ECB would favour replacing the promissory notes for loans backed by the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF), a central bank source has told Reuters.

A sleek addition to the spate of burger places sprouting up all over the metro area--
Was in Mt Kisco and decided to try it for lunch. It was 2:05PM-- OOPS! Their lunch special ends at 2PM! Seems a bit early, should be 3PM if you ask me--
So it was a la carte for us. We had the plain burger, and the Cuban. Burgers cooked to whatever temperature you desire. Rare is cooked rare! (No 5 guys garbage here!)
The results-- a well-above-average burger, cooked on an open flame (most these days are cooked on flat steel), very flavorful, very juicy. Good size, probably about 6 oz. A little pricey at $7.99 for the plain.
One low point is the menu description of the fries-- "Double fried". When we asked about it, the employees were a bit dumbstruck-- they do NOT double fry, they were not aware of that description on the menu, and basically it was a "duh" moment in there. We ordered the "single fried" fries and they were fairly good, not exceptional.
So this place has its good and pad points. Good burger, a bit too expensive, lunch hours are too short, and the misleading fries description--. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back, but if I was in the area (and before 2PM!) I would probably scarf up a burger there.

Welcome to Miss Mouthy! This post may or may not contain affiliate links You'll just have to find out. Okay, yes, it probably does have affiliate links. You've been warned!
Updated: I just got my second mailing of Unmentionably Cheeky and I love it just as much as my first!
My love for subscription boxes is growing…quickly. Is this my favorite? It's hard to say, since I'm beginning to have so many!
NOTE: This subscription box is for ladies only. If you actually know me in real life, feel free to stop reading. Please stop reading. I really don't want my co-workers to know about my panties, new or old.
PS-Yep, I have affiliate links here. I might get a latte with my yearly earnings.
My newest find is Unmentionably Cheeky. This is a subscription for cheeky panties. For $6 with a coupon code (normally $9) you'll get two pairs of cheeky undies. Each package is a surprise…you select the size (XS to XXL) and Unmentionably Cheeky picks the colors and style. These aren't thongs, but they are pretty cheeky. So don't expect any pictures of this subscription box!
My first two pairs arrived last week and so far I'm delighted! The first pair was a bright peach color with lace trim. I could see adding these to my daily rotation. They are surprisingly comfortable, way better than a thong.
The next pair was white and lacy. By lacy, I mean lace only. These are very delicate and will not be joining my daily rotation. They will be in the special event drawer. Everyone has one of those, right?
Unmentionably Cheeky includes free shipping to US and Canada, $5 shipping to all other countries. The package arrives in a black shipping envelope, usually within 3 days in the US. I think the address said UMC or something nondescript.
The price is normally $9 for 2 pairs of panties, which is a pretty good deal. But right now if you use the Unmentionably Cheeky coupon code FALL 13 you lock in the price of $6 per package for the however long you keep this subscription, so that's only $3 per pair! That is darn cheap! Victoria's Secret Cheekies start at $11 a pair, not including shipping and tax. Sure, you get to select your own style and color, but for triple the price? I'll take a good surprise!
As you journey to Find Your Fabulous, consider Unmentionably Cheeky. Can new panties change your life? Perhaps. Having a little something special no one knows about can be a huge confidence booster. And it might even add a little spark to your love life.
Just a note: I have affiliate links in this post. If you click on one of my links and end up buying something, I get a little bit of cash. Like 2-10%. I know, life changing. I will be a dollaraire in no time!

Rosberg confirms anti-roll bar issue
|F. Alonso
|K. Räikkönen
|L. Hamilton
14 April 2013 – Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg has confirmed that a problem with the rear anti-roll bar on his car forced him to retire from this afternoon's Chinese Grand Prix at the Shanghai circuit, with the German returning to his garage on the 21st lap of the race.
Having started from fourth position, Rosberg was left empty-handed for the second time this season, while team-mate Lewis Hamilton claimed a podium finish.
"I've had a difficult start to the season with two DNFs. But it's good to have the next race in just seven days time so hopefully we can put this result behind us with a strong weekend in Bahrain. It was great for the team to get another podium today."
Rosberg sits seventh in the championship standings after the first three races of the season, 28 points adrift of Hamilton who is within one race victory of the title lead.

TORONTO - Monday was Raptors Day in Toronto.
Deputy Mayor Norm Kelly proclaimed the day Monday in Nathan Phillips Square with the help of Raptors head coach Dwane Casey, player Greivis Vasquez and mascot the Raptor.
"Good Raptors morning," Kelly told a small crowd of Raptors fans in front of City Hall.
He saluted the Raptors for their 48-win season and playoff run (which ended with a first-round, Game 7 loss to the Brooklyn Nets).
"We've been doubting ourselves lately — our static economy, the friction between the downtown and the suburbs, a sense of being overwhelmed by the challenges of our success, the disturbing revelations of our leadership, and the sudden, unexpected onslaught of an aggressive nature haven't ranked these past few years as among our best," Kelly said. "Then along came the Raptors … first in their conference and in the playoffs. The magic word: Playoffs."

By the numbers: Bulldogs v Rabbitohs
Grandstand's NRL stats analyst Tim Gore crunches the numbers for tonight's preliminary final between Canterbury and South Sydney at the Olympic stadium.
The history
The Dogs have won seven of the last 10 matches between these sides. All 10 have been at the Olympic stadium.
This year the honours are split with the Rabbitohs winning 20-10 in round 6 and the Dogs winning 23-18 in round 13.
Both sides rarely blow a half-time lead so expect them both to go hard early.
Since round 20 the Rabbitohs boast the least errors and missed tackles in the NRL.
However, the Dogs are right behind them on both stats.
In fact very little separates these sides statistically.
|Metres gained
|James Graham
|Greg Inglis
|Aiden Tolman
|Sam Burgess
|Ben Barba
|David Taylor
|Line breaks
|Ben Barba
|Greg Inglis
|Josh Morris

|Missed tackles
|Josh Reynolds
|David Taylor
|Michael Ennis
|Adam Reynolds
|Sam Burgess
|Penalties conceded
|Michael Ennis
|Michael Crocker
|Josh Reynolds
|Sam Burgess
|Aiden Tolman
|David Taylor
Statistics supplied by Sportsdata
The Bulldogs average one more line break conceded a game and the Rabbitohs average one more break made per game.
The crucial stat is that the Dogs have won three more matches than South Sydney this season.
The Dogs get the job done - somehow. In week one of the finals they made 250 metres less than Manly, missed 14 more tackles, broke 14 fewer tackles, conceded two more penalties and had to make 30 more tackles.
But they scored six more points than the Sea Eagles.
Last week the Rabbitohs won largely for three reasons: They broke 26 more tackles than the Raiders, forced four drop outs and converted most of their line breaks.
Souths made 500 more metres, 100 fewer tackles and had the ball in their hands for an 16 extra minutes.
Greg Inglis, Sam Burgess and Adam Reynolds were huge. Isaac Luke exposed the Raiders weak ruck defence to maximum effect.
While Dave Taylor did make 124 metres - mostly running at Sam Williams - he missed five tackles. You can bet Hasler knows that stat.
The Dogs loss to the Raiders shows that a confident, wide-running game can beat the minor premiers.
However, don't expect the Michael Ennis-led pack to offer up armchair rides through the ruck like the Raiders provided the Bunnies last week.
A major difference between the sides seems to be scrambling defence.
Although the Dogs miss more tackles and concede more line breaks than the Bunnies, they have a tendency to recover and not concede points - just look at the final against Manly.
Conversely once the Rabbitohs line is broken it often results in a try.
The key players
The South Sydney big guns - Luke, Burgess, Reynolds and especially Inglis must reprise their starring roles from last week if the Cardinal and Myrtle are to get up.
But for mine Taylor must perform. Not only must he make big metres, he must man up in defence.
His 3.5 missed tackles a match are frequently telling and he will be targeted.
If John Sutton can continue his late-season resurgence of try assists, line breaks and metres gained it will also greatly help his side's cause.
For the Dogs it really comes down to two men: Josh Reynolds and Ben Barba.
They are the only two really assisting anyone through the line.
While they are joined by Josh Morris, Krisnan Inu and Jonathon Wright in breaking the line, they account for most of the creativity.
Kris Keating, for all his talent, is really only playing a bit-part statistically right now.
And for all Sam Kasiano, Aiden Tolman and James Graham's drive at the line, they make comparatively few tackle breaks when compared to the Rabbits forwards.
But can the Rabbitohs stop Barba? Featuring an NRL-high 25 line breaks, 164 tackle breaks and 22 tries - as well as 18 line break assists, 22 try assists, and 122 metres a match - he has been the star of 2012.
Who will win
Souths have more attacking options and they have the underdog and sentimental favourites tags.
I'm not sure that is enough to win the match though. The key stat is the Bulldogs have repeatedly won matches where they have lost most of the stats.
Ironically, that makes them a very good side.

Therapeutic neck pain exercises. Gentle neck exercise are great for loosening tight muscles and softening ligaments. Much of the time, neck pain can be calmed quickly by performing an arrangement of neck pain exercises to alleviate strain brought on by tight neck muscles.
Below are straightforward routines for neck pain exercises in which you spend around 15 minutes doing. Repeat a few hours after if your neck still feels stiff.
Firstly, nod your head forward and backward. Tilt your chin to your chest, then toward the sky. For this simple first steps you can repeat for several minutes. Remember that these neck pain exercises may feel painful, so be gentle while doing them don't tilt your head too far forward or backward if it hurts too much. See below video
Secondly, tilt your head from side to side. This will stretch the muscles in the front and back of your neck. Perform this simple routine until the pain eases a bit and the muscles feel less tense.
Finally, turn your head from left to right. Often this is the most painful motion you can make when you have a stiff neck, so gently ease into it slowly. Repeat these left to right head movements for several minutes.

STO. NIÑO 'LOYALIST' ... Every year for the past 50 years, Manding Goria (complete name withheld by The Ear) comes down to the city from her South hometown to pay tribute to the Sto. Niño. "Bisan sa iyang katiguwang na, si Manding, 92, moantus og linya'g inoras aron lang makahawok sa tiilan sa Senyor," according to a neighbor who accompanies the old woman to the city.
FIVE OR SIX MISSES. It was learned that Manding Goria missed to be part of Fiesta Señor only five or six times in her 50-year devotion to the Holy Child. Illness was the reason. While in the city, Manding Goria would stay most of the time in the Sto. Niño basilica. "Ang akong tuyo sa pag-anhi sa siyudad mao ang Senyor busa dili ko usikan ang akong panahon sa ubang butang," Manding said.

Jane Darling is a cute blonde with a cute face, a large natural rack, and a good body. She shows off her ass with a parolee and gets briefly finger fucked till she shows off her oral skills. Jane shows good energy, nice no hands work, but shows little variation and keeps fairly shallow. They start fucking in a long doggie then move through a great RCG, anal RCG, some A2M, anal spoon, and anal doggie. The scene ends with the guy jerking off on Jane's tongue and open mouth. She gives some light post cum head. This is a solid opening scene with some excellent eye candy and some high energy fucking. ...

Felony charges sought in overdose
"It certainly underscores the importance of the work law enforcement is doing to educate the community about the dangers of heroin and its prevalence in and around the Rock County region," Milton Police Chief Jerry Schuetz said.
"It's very concerning and very disturbing to see such young individuals experience with heroin in our community."
Police are asking the Rock County District Attorney's Office to charge a 15-year-old Milton boy with felony distribution of controlled substances to minors, Schuetz said.
They are asking prosecutors to charge Lori Bone, 32, formerly of 438 Woodcrest Lane, Milton, with felony failure to render aid and felony contributing to the delinquency of minors, he said.
The investigation revealed that Bone knew "for some time" that the juveniles had used heroin, and she refused to render aid or call police, Schuetz said.
"From our investigation, (she was) more concerned about her own interest than the interest of the kids who had consumed the heroin," he said.
The 15-year-old boy was at Bone's Milton home May 16 when he found heroin in her bedroom, Schuetz said.
The boy took the drugs and shared them with two friends, he said.
The three teens snorted the heroin in the home and went to an area park, Schuetz said.
While at the park, the teens began to suffer from overdose symptoms, including vomiting, he said.
Another teen happened to be at the park and saw the kids vomiting, Schuetz said.
He suspected the teens were overdosing on heroin and called a man he knew was a heroin user, he said.
The heroin user arrived at the park with Narcan, a drug used to revive victims of a heroin overdose, Schuetz said.
The user gave the drug to one of the teens who had passed out, he said.
The teens later returned to the home where they got the heroin, Schuetz said, and an adult called police.
Milton police investigated the incident for two weeks before requesting charges be filed.
Police believe the teens were not regular heroin users, Schuetz said, suggesting it was an isolated incident.
Bone has fled to Michigan, he said, and she is not cooperating with police.
Police have requested a warrant for her arrest, but her exact location is unknown, Schuetz said.
The 15-year-old boy is living at home and cooperating with police, he said.
The Rock County Special Investigations Unit helped with the investigation.

Australia's AAT Strikes $100M Algae Deal with China
August 24, 2012
ustralian-owned Advanced Algal Technologies (AAT), a bio-technology company specializing in algae cultivation and production, has signed a joint venture agreement with Chinese company Fuzhou Xiangli Enterprise Management Consulting Co. consisting of a 20-year license to produce 500 patented Algae Farming Conveyor Modular Systems per year.
The $100 million dollars invested into the Australian Joint Venture company will establish the Chinese manufacturing facilities to produce the modular systems, which will be placed in areas where carbon dioxide emissions are at their highest levels in China.
"China is reported to be the world's 4th largest carbon dioxide emitter," said Kevin Murphy, CEO, AAT. Our modulars will not only produce algae for many health and science benefits, but will have a major benefit to the environment. The plan is that the modulars will be placed next to major manufacturing companies in China, which will benefit the companies, allowing them to produce more products over time due to a reduction in their carbon dioxide emissions – and benefit the environment at the same time."
The AAT conveyor system produces high oil content algae for use in bio-diesel production and algae-based high protein products, in an insulated modular temperature-controlled environment. The modular uses a unique PVC fabric on a belt that is designed to maintain moisture and increase surface area for mass algae cultivation. The system will sequester 7.5 tons of carbon dioxide per day during the growth of the algae.
Under these conditions, according to AAT, algae can double in mass every twenty-four hours and grow at a density of 400 grams per square meter, per day. The algae are then easily harvested, with the removal of algae directly from the growing fabric surface.
"The principle of our technology is simple," said Joseph Takacs, chief engineer at AAT. "Advanced Algal Technologies approach to the Algae Farming Conveyor Modular system gives us the ability to have complete control over the cultivation stage and its environment for a maximum algae yield. Carbon dioxide emissions can be put into good use and every by-product of the conveyor system offers real, tangible benefits."

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2013 BMW 1 Series
By KBB Editors
Although the 1 Series Coupe received its stateside launch (early 2008) prior to the global economic downturn, its spec and - to a degree - its pricing seem tailor-made for a motoring public moving to more efficient transportation while attempting to hold on to what we used to regard as motoring fun. All iterations of the 1 Series - Coupe and Convertible/128i and 135i - make for a compelling argument from a driving standpoint, while one might argue (and we will) that the savings afforded by the 135i is minimal when compared to its 3-Series stablemate.
If your mom or dad had BMW's 2002 while growing up, or you had one while in school, the 1 Series is a valid successor, delivering a tight, tidy package and a more nimble footprint than the bigger 3 Series. Without that point of reference, the 1 Series will succeed for its on-road dynamic, quality of construction and reasonable - albeit not great - fuel efficiency. Also, if you're a fan of convertibles with soft tops, this is where you find it; BMW's 3 Series has gone to a convertible hardtop.
Even in its 128i guise, this is not an inexpensive purchase. You pay a real premium - $30,000 plus - to enjoy the benefits of BMW badging and rear-wheel drive. For those with an affection for front-wheel drive platforms, VW's GTI, Audi's A3 or Acura's TSX deliver far more bang - and arguably more style - for your automotive buck. And while not in the same segment, a V6-equipped Mustang delivers 300+ horsepower and 30 miles per gallon for a well-equipped price of under $25,000.
Most notable update for 2011 is under the hood of the 135i, which receives a new 3.0 liter in-line six. Although horsepower and torque (300/300) remain the same as in 2010, the peak torque is now achieved at a low - make that very low - 1,200 rpm. The 135i also receives the 7-speed Double Clutch Transmission as an available option, while the 128i continues with its optional 6-speed Steptronic.
At track day events hosted for automotive media, the 1 Series Coupe may not represent the latest or greatest in automotive sheetmetal, but you wouldn't know it from the people...
... waiting in line to drive it. The car is an absolute blast on a winding piece of asphalt, and if everyone on that asphalt is going in the same direction, so much the better. The 135i, of course, is the most entertaining, but we like the balanced approach taken by the 128i (as well as a window sticker that's significantly less), and think that it most successfully channels the spirit of BMW's 2002. And while all iterations of the 1 Series will handle well, equipping your choice with the Sport option would seem to be the best blend of logical thinking and emotional strategy. You only live once, you know...
In-line Six
While we're hard-pressed to describe the 1 Series Coupe or Convertible as "near-luxury," that seems to be where the market perceives them to be. And in that context an in-line six is still very unusual in the segment, and very premium in its operation. The TwinPower Turbo, of course, gets the big ink, but we'd be happy with either the 135's turbo or 128's normally aspirated. And with the 128's base engine needing an additional second to get to 60, we'd leave one second earlier.
BMW Ultimate Service
You've written the big check (or financed the big number), and you simply want to sit back and enjoy the ownership process. BMW's Ultimate Service makes that possible, covering all (ALL) maintenance for the first four years and 50,000 miles of your ownership. From oil to brake pads to wiper blades, if it wears out or needs replacing, it's covered. And it's awesome!
In our view the 1 Series interior, while tightly drawn, is everything a BMW interior should be. While a base of over $30,000 should deliver - we think - leather as standard (or provide you with the option of cloth), the leatherette is both durable and easy to clean. You'll be pleased by the gauge layout, well-considered ergonomics and contemporary design which - ten years from now - will still look well executed. The rear seat should be regarded as little more than temporary seating for full-size adults, although it's much more expansive than your boss' 911. We'd note that the available sport steering wheel is one of the nicest contact points available anywhere, at any price. Finally, headroom on the convertible is virtually unlimited...
Although described as one of the most refined applications of BMW's "flame surfacing," we're not sure that the end result works any better than those applications which were unrefined. In short, the 1 Series - at least in U.S. Coupe and Convertible spec - is an abbreviated footprint onto which the design team has attempted to project traditional proportions familiar to a U.S. consumer. While the end result works well enough (and we think the best perspective is the rear three-quarter view), we wish BMW would bite the bullet and give us the 3-door and 5-door variants of the 1 Series. Those we'd describe as refined - and still unavailable stateside. For drop-top fans, the 1 Series is undeniably cute, which may (or may not) be a good thing.
Most notable - in a driver's view - is an in-line six fitted to the 1 Series' standard spec. Whether normally aspirated or with BMW's TwinPower Turbo, the smoothness and flexibility of BMW's iconic six will spoil you for other drivetrains, especially at the 128's low-$30,000 price point. Beyond what's under the hood, we'll give a shout-out to what's behind the driver - a rear seat available to close friends or family. With an almost perfect 50:50 distribution of mass, the fact that the 1 Series can accommodate four is utterly amazing. In tougher economic times the best economy car is one car capable of doing most things, and that summarizes a 1 Series perfectly.
Among the typical sprinkling of options for the 128i are two Sport packages, both of which take an already sporting platform and sharpen it. The base Sport offering ($1,300) provides a sport suspension, a staggered tire size (205/50 front - 245/45 rear), an increased top speed limiter and sport buckets providing more bolster. The M Sport ($2,450) takes all of the above and adds an aggressive aero kit and M Sport steering wheel. Either choice provides entirely too much fun for a relatively small amount of coin. Stand-alone options are fairly predictable, and include navigation, Harman Kardon surround sound stereo and smartphone integration. On the 135i, the available DoubleClutch transmission is a huge gain for the performance enthusiast.
The smoothness of the 128i's normally aspirated, 3.0 liter engine is to die for, and with its 230 horsepower it comes close to matching what Ferrari was offering in the 308 less than 30 years ago. As noted, the TwinPower Turbo is undeniably more powerful and flexible, but we're not sure it's worth the $9,000 premium - unless you plan to use it. Regardless of engine or transmission, the enthusiast will find the powertrain soul-stirring, while the daily commuter will find it eminently tractable and - given its performance envelope - extremely efficient.

Geneva College faculty will collaborate for a recital on Saturday, March 22, 2014 at 7 p.m. in Old Main′s John White Chapel. Dr. Byron Curtis, Professor of Bible; Mrs. Katie Donaldson, Adjunct Professor of Voice; and Dr. Sha Wang, Associate Professor of Music, will all participate in the performance.
"The concert is centered on children′s themes, but is full of wonderful music appealing to all audiences," said Donaldson. "I'm looking forward to collaborating with Dr. Wang, an excellent pianist, to bring a lively and meaningful classical program to the Geneva campus."
Donaldson will be singing songs by Brahms and other composers in English and German.
Dr. Wang will perform The Story of Babar, the Elephant by French composer Poulenc, as Dr. Curtis narrates with a PowerPoint of the children′s book illustrations.
"Musical adventures combine with spoken text to tell the story. The result is about 30 delightful minutes of musical story about a little elephant destined to become civilized, and king of the jungle," said Dr. Curtis. "I'm all ears for The Story of Babar. You should be all ears, too."
The concert is free and open to the public.
Geneva College invites students to accept the challenge of an academically excellent, Christ-centered and affordable education.

Coronation Street bloodbath for 50th anniversary
Much-loved characters lie motionless amid the rubble after a tram crashes onto Coronation Street, leaving viewers to wonder who will survive the devastation.
The soap's 50th anniversary celebrations kick off on Monday night when an explosion in The Joinery bar causes a Weatherfield tram to plummet off the viaduct onto the cobbles below.
After celebrating his stag night in the new bar, Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne) is left trapped and fighting for his life alongside love rival Nick Tilsley (Ben Price).
Also in peril in the debris of The Joinery are butcher Ashley Peacock (Steven Arnold), cabbie Lloyd Mullaney (Craig Charles), barman Ciaran McCarthy (Keith Duffy), barmaid Cheryl Gray (Holly Quin-Ankrah), businessman Dev Alahan (Jimmi Harkishin) and Cheryl's ex Chris (Will Thorp).
Familiar landmarks The Kabin and Corner Shop are demolished, leaving Molly Dobbs (Vicky Binns) and her baby Jack, Dev's wife Sunita (Shobna Gulati) and Kabin owner Rita Sullivan (Barbara Knox) overcome by flying bricks and shards of glass.
Ken Barlow (William Roache) and bride-to-be Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) are knocked off their feet by the blast as they rush to stop Nick revealing her affair to fiancé Peter.
The disaster and its aftermath will unfold over five nights next week, with a special hour-long live episode due to air on Thursday night, 10 years after the soap staged a live broadcast for its 40th birthday.
Special-effects expert Danny Hargreaves was brought in to create explosions, mechanical stunts, fire, and atmospheric effects such as wind and rain for the dramatic scenes, and computer-generated imagery (CGI) experts The Mill enhanced the tram crash sequence.
Producer Phil Collinson said the tram stunt cost "not far off" £1m.
He added: "We had to ask ITV for an awful lot of money and they said yes. I wish I'd asked for more. I will learn next time — not that there will be a next time."
Roache, who has been in the soap since the first episode, said he shed "tears of pride" when he saw a preview screening yesterday. And he said departed cast members would have been "proud and |impressed" by the spectacle.
"We did the train crash way back in the 1960s, and that didn't have half the impact," he said.
Collinson shrugged off worries about harsh weather conditions, saying the possibility of snow was all part of the experience of live television.
"We wanted to put the live episode right in the middle with fire, explosions, flames, stunts, death, fire engines, everything we could throw at it. It's amazing, huge and, fingers crossed, astonishing," he said.
"That's what live is about. If it snows, we'll plough on. If something falls out of the sky, we'll plough on regardless. And if the tram falls down, we'll plough on, and if any of those things happen the audience will enjoy it even more. That's the business of live and that's what we're embracing."

The beautiful north-east coast of Corfu provides the perfect late spring or
summer holiday, especially for families. Compared to the rest of
the Mediterranean, it is affordable - a villa on the Côte d'Azur
would cost at least twice as much.
The sea is suitable for toddlers, warm and free from dangerous currents and there are charming seaside villages with a plethora of good, inexpensive restaurants. For those who prefer an active holiday, the island is particularly good for spring-time coastal walks. Read our magazine story on Corfu>
This 19th-century townhouse hotel opened in 2005 in Corfu Town. Nine stylish rooms have beamed ceilings, LCD TVs and elegant furniture.
The tiny, traditional village of Peroulades is only a few kilometres from Sidari, one of Corfu's busiest resorts, but it could not be more different. Villa de Loulia is a family-run retreat set in immaculate grounds. Built in 1803, the three-storey mansion has seven simple but elegant bedrooms and two suites painted in bright, contrasting colours. The attic rooms have views over the walled gardens, where shady nooks and jasmine bowers abound and old almond trees cast their shade over a large swimming pool.
Fully refurbished in 2004, House on the Rocks is, as the name suggests, wedged into rocky cliffs above Corfu's Kaminaki beach, which is accessed by a precipitous footpath. With its staggering views as far as the Albanian coastline, this modern, stone house has a great sense of light and space. There are three terraces for sun-worshippers and an infinity-edged swimming pool. Book through Meon Villas. Sleeps six. Price on request.
Kokkokila is an 18th-century shepherd's cottage turned English country house, offered by CV Villas. There are cuttings from Tatler on the walls, and family photos in frames on antique coffee tables. Accommodation is in three en-suite double bedrooms. The attractive location is high up in the hills, 15 minutes' drive from Ayios Stefanos on the edge of the village. Kokkokila's large swimming pool looks out to sea. The property is good for those who don't care about the beach but want privacy plus the option of visiting the local tavernas. Sleeps six.
An elegant, 17th-century mansion which has double rooms from €80. There's a roof garden restaurant but no pool.

Push Present, Did You Get One?
The push present is a gift, often a piece of jewelry, a new father gives to a new mother when she gives birth to their first child.
According to TheFrisky.com, recently on The Real Housewives of Orange County, the newest cast member Peggy Tanous received a Bentley as her push present.
Apparently, moms seem to want some compensation for carrying a baby for nine months, getting sick, surviving labor, and losing their figure.
What about you? Do you expect a push present after a having a baby? Did you get one? When I had my first, Emma, we didn't have a lot of extra money. Mike was starting his business, we were newly married, and had baby bills to pay! I didn't care about a push present. Besides, whenever I ask Mike to do something I don't want to do, and he asks me why I can't do it, I just say, "because I gave birth." That's my push present!

You've made huge steps in the right direction in the last few months,TTMU. I showed my WH a post of yours a month or so ago..and it made an incredible impact on him..our R is going strong,largely due to that post..he "got it"....so thank you. Thank you.
(((((TCD and her FWH))))))
..that feeling you get in your stomach, when you heart's broken. It's like all the butterflies just died.
Confused- tomorrow is now today (I know, my topic could have been less confusing). I did in fact leave a note for her. I am trying to be as available as possible, given the circumstances. I am actually on a job that's about as far from home as I ever have to go (still in state, and I'll be home tonight, but lunch is out). I did buy her a gift, which I certainly hope can bring some light into her heart. I'm doing my best to get done as quickly as possible, but I'm in a very high voltage yard (345000 volts!) and safety has to be the primary concern for me and my coworkers. Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad to see others succeed. Your words have helped us very much as well.
It doesn't matter what I say - the best solution is the one you and TCD create.

Patric Hornqvist scored two goals and had an assist to help the Nashville Predators win their third straight game, 6-3 over the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night.
Ryan Jones, Joel Ward, Marcel Goc and Jerred Smithson also scored for Nashville, 5-0-1 in its last six games and tied with Chicago for the Central Division lead
Robert Nilsson had two power-play goals for Edmonton, and Lubomir Visnovsky also scored. The Oilers have lost two in a row after winning five straight on the road.
Edmonton started strong, striking first on the power play 3 minutes when Nilsson chipped a shot off of the goalie Pekka Rinne's arm.
The Flames scored again 2 minutes later when Gilbert Brule's shot was accidentally kicked by Nashville's Kevin Klein right to the pinching Visnovsky for his eighth goal of the season. It was just the fourth Edmonton shot on net and enough to chase Rinne just 5:01 into the game, with Dan Ellis replacing him in net.
The Predators got on the board with 8 minutes to play in the opening period when Jones whacked in rebound after the Oilers failed to clear the puck in front of goalie Jeff Deslauriers. Nashville tied it 4 minute later when Ward pulled down a puck in traffic in front of the net, put it to his backhand and beat Deslauriers.
The Predators quieted the building just 50 seconds later when J.P. Dumont sent a pass through the crease to Goc, who tipped home his fifth goal.
Nashville went up 4-2 midway through the second period when Hornqvist finished off a nice three-way passing play from Jason Arnott and Dumont.
Edmonton pulled within within one with 5 minutes remaining in the second when Nilsson scored his second power-play goal, stealing the puck from Dan Hamhuis at the blue line and then making a diving deke to beat Ellis.
The Predators, however, got a power-play goal of their own with 3 seconds left in the period when Hornqvist tipped in Ryan Suter's shot for a 5-3 lead.
Smithson completed the scoring with just 43 seconds left.
NOTES: Edmonton won the only previous meeting between the two teams, 6-1 in Nashville. ... Deslauriers started his 13th consecutive game with Nikolai Khabibulin sidelined indefinitely by a back injury. Khabibulin had a cortisone shot this week hoping to speed up his recovery.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

Pitbull attacks family, dog removed from home
Fri, 26 Mar 2010 23:48:24 GMT —
Some Columbia neighbors are up in arms after a brutal dog attack on Thursday.
After numerous alleged incidents, many are hoping this animal will be taken off the streets for good and their home will again become a safe place for families to walk the streets.
Brad Muller lives in the Knollwood neighborhood of Columbia. Thursday afternoon, his family was attacked while walking down the street.
Muller says that he got a call from his wife saying that she and their son had been attacked by a pitbull.
He says his wife, mother-in-law and eight month old son were walking down the street when the animal attacked the child's stroller.
The family tried to fight it off, but the dog grabbed her and took her shoe off. They ran to try to get away.
WACH FOX News tried to speak with the owners of the dog. They declined to go on camera, but they did tell us this was the only incident of an attack.
But neighbors say that's not the case.
One area resident says he now has to carry a stick when he wants to take a walk outside.
Muller, looking for answers as to why the dog is still running the streets, contacted his county councilman Norman Jackson.
After hearing what happened, Jackson knew something had to be done.
"I'm not sure why this activity occurred or why this dog keeps getting out, hopefully some action will be taken" Jackson says.
The dog was taken by Richland Animal Care late Friday. After an investigation, officials found that the dog and its owner had been involved in a previous incident in June of last year.
The owner now faces charges carrying over $2,000.

Microfluidic Device for Recreating a Tumor Microenvironment in Vitro Bhushan J. Toley*1, Dan E. Ganz*1, Colin L. Walsh1, Neil S. Forbes1 1Department of Chemical Engineering, University Of Massachusetts Amherst We present the procedure for fabrication and operation of a microfluidic device that recreates heterogeneous tumor microenvironments in vitro. The variability in apoptosis within tumor tissue was quantified using fluorescent stains and the effective diffusion coefficient of the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin into tumor tissue was evaluated.

Tuning Payload Delivery in Tumour Cylindroids Using Gold Nanoparticles Nature Nanotechnology. Jun, 2010 | Pubmed ID: 20383126 Nanoparticles have great potential as controllable drug delivery vehicles because of their size and modular functionality. Timing and location are important parameters when optimizing nanoparticles for delivery of chemotherapeutics. Here, we show that gold nanoparticles carrying either fluorescein or doxorubicin molecules move and localize differently in an in vitro three-dimensional model of tumour tissue, depending on whether the nanoparticles are positively or negatively charged. Fluorescence microscopy and mathematical modelling show that uptake, not diffusion, is the dominant mechanism in particle delivery. Our results indicate that positive particles may be more effective for drug delivery because they are taken up to a greater extent by proliferating cells. Negative particles, which diffuse more quickly, may perform better when delivering drugs deep into tissues. An understanding of how surface charge can control tissue penetration and drug release may overcome some of the current limitations in drug delivery.
Micrometer-scale Oxygen Delivery Rearranges Cells and Prevents Necrosis in Tumor Tissue in Vitro Biotechnology Progress. Dec, 2011 | Pubmed ID: 22228537 Oxygen availability plays a critical role in cancer progression and is correlated with poor prognosis. Despite this connection, the independent effects of oxygen gradients on tumor tissues have not been measured. To address this, we developed an oxygen delivery device that uses microelectrodes to generate oxygen directly underneath three-dimensional tumor cylindroids composed of colon carcinoma cells. The extent of cell death was measured using fluorescence staining. Supplying oxygen for 60 h eliminated the necrotic region typically found in the center of cylindroids despite the continued presence of other nutrient gradients. A mathematical model of cylindroid growth showed that the rate of cell death was more sensitive to oxygen than the growth rate. After oxygenation, a ring of dead cells was observed at the outside edge of cylindroids, and dead cells were observed moving outward from cylindroid centers. This movement suggests that dead cells were pushed by viable cells migrating in response to oxygen gradients, a mechanism that may connect transient oxygen gradients to metastasis formation. These measurements show that oxygen gradients are a primary factor governing cell viability and rearrange cells in tumors. © 2012 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol. Prog., 2012.
Motility is Critical for Effective Distribution and Accumulation of Bacteria in Tumor Tissue Integrative Biology : Quantitative Biosciences from Nano to Macro. Feb, 2012 | Pubmed ID: 22193245 Motile bacteria can overcome the penetration limitations of cancer chemotherapeutics because they can actively migrate into solid tumors. Although several genera of bacteria have been shown to accumulate preferentially in tumors, the spatiotemporal dynamics of bacterial tumor colonization and their dependence on bacterial motility are not clear. For effective tumor regression, bacteria must penetrate and distribute uniformly throughout tumors. To measure these dynamics, we used an in vitro model of continuously perfused tumor tissue to mimic the delivery and systemic clearance of Salmonella typhimurium strains SL1344 and VNP20009, and Escherichia coli strains K12 and DH5α. Tissues were treated for 1 hour with 10(5) or 10(7) CFU ml(-1) suspensions of each strain and the location and extent of bacterial accumulation were observed for 30 hours. Salmonella had 14.5 times greater average swimming speed than E. coli and colonized tissues at 100 times lower doses than E. coli. Bacterial motility strongly correlated (R(2) = 99.3%) with the extent of tissue accumulation. When inoculated at 10(5) CFU ml(-1), motile Salmonella formed colonies denser than 10(10) CFU/(g-tissue) and less motile E. coli showed no detectable colonization. Based on spatiotemporal profiles and a mathematical model of motility and growth, bacterial dispersion was found to be necessary for deep penetration into tissue. Bacterial colonization caused apoptosis in tumors and apoptosis levels correlated (R(2) = 98.6%) with colonization density. These results show that motility is critical for effective distribution of bacteria in tumors and is essential for designing cancer therapies that can overcome the barrier of limited tumor penetration.


text: HI all. Can someone please tell me how I can access a session variable via a task? What I need to do is to do some file house keeping once a session expires. I thought I could do this by using MixIn and simply over riding the expiring method within a context, but it seems the this over rides the method for the all contexts (not really what I had in mind). So now the only thing I can think of is to use Tasks, but I am at a loss as to how to proceed. Any and all help would be much appreciated Thanks Jose

Whey Coco Partners with L.A. Libations, Set to Launch in Kroger in 2014
Of course, Whey Coco founder Jay Ajmera was disappointed when his brand fell short of victory in BevNET's New Beverage Showdown 5. The competition, held earlier this year in New York City, featured over 20 new brands vying to win $10,000 in cash and prizes. Yet, while the Showdown was ultimately won by Motto, a sparkling matcha beverage, Ajmera was able parlay exposure from the competition into a victory of his own.
Last week, Whey Coco, which markets a powdered blend of whey protein and coconut water, announced a new broker agreement with SoCal-based beverage incubator L.A. Libations. The deal has been in the making since June and recently produced a major retail placement for the brand: Whey Coco will gain shelf space in select Kroger stores in the Northeast beginning in March 2014 with plans for a national launch later in the year. L.A. Libations has worked closely with the Kroger over the past year, acting as the "category captain" for the grocery giant's entrepreneurial and emerging beverage set.
L.A. Libations co-founder Dino Sarti said that while his company's past work with sport and nutrition company FRS included retail placement of the brand's powder products, the deal with Whey Coco represents the first partnership with a company that doesn't have an RTD component. While L.A. Libations works with a several entrepreneurial RTD brands, including Chia\Vie and Just Chill, Sarti believes there is significant growth potential for Whey Coco in the powdered beverage category.
"As I look at the numbers, the powder space is much bigger than the RTD space," Sarti said. "Frankly, if you look at the players, there's not a really strong brand these days, and there not a lot of innovation. It's primarily just commodity whey, commodity soy, chocolate, vanilla [flavors]. I think that Whey Coco offers something completely different."
Packaged in 20.35 oz. tubs, Whey Coco is made with 100 percent natural and premium un-denatured whey isolate protein and coconut water powder. According to the company, the formula has no coconut aftertaste and consistent levels of potassium per serving. The brand is marketed as "Nature's Recovery Fuel" and positioned to attract active lifestyle and health-focused consumers. Ajmera said that company is close to signing a deal with a well-known, professional mountain biker who will represent Whey Coco as the face of the brand.
As for his agreement with L.A. Libations, Ajmera saw tremendous upside for Whey Coco, particularly in establishing strong and sustainable retail partners for the brand, a key point of differentiation from its previous broker relationships.
"Their credibility was key," Ajmera said. "Other brokers that I worked with, they just talk. But when it comes to delivering, L.A .Libations knows how to execute."
Execution of its retail strategy will be critical to establishing the Whey Coco brand name and presence, especially with new line extensions already in the works. Ajmera said that Whey Coco will introduce a chia-infused variety in the coming months and has plans to launch an RTD product called Berry Coco late next year. Berry Coco will be a first-of-its-kind beverage that uses protein that is extracted from blueberries and cranberries. Ajmera said that Whey Coco has an exclusive deal with the protein supplier, but declined to name the company.

Zilli Nabuwwat also, is Nabuwwat . This the reason why, in the pamphlet entitled `Ek Ghalati ka Izala ', `Removal of an Error ', the Promised Messiah has written in a footnote:
"It must be borne in mind, there is a pledge in favour of this that it will receive all those identical blessings which the earlier Prophets and Siddiqs received. So, included in these favours and blessings, are the Nabuwwats, and Prophecies, on the basis of which the earlier Prophets came to be known and accepted as Prophets."
This is a plain indication that in the eyes of the Promised Messiah, the earlier Prophets, as well, were called Prophets, on the basis of the prophecies they made. That some of them brought a new Sharia, or new laws, was an additional feature in their lives.
Further, the Promised Messiah writes:
"But the Holy Quran closes the door of knowledge of the Unknown upon all, except the Prophets and the Apostles of Allah, as we read in the Quranic verse:
`He does not disclose things and matters kept by him beyond human ken, to anyone, except an Apostle of his own.' In other words, for a man to have a pure and clear knowledge of the Unknown, it is essential that he should be a Prophet; and the verse `Those Thou has sent down Thy blessings on them', is an indication that this Ummat is not deprived of this blessing; and since according to verse already quoted a clear and pure knowledge of things in the domain of the pure Unknown, demands Nabuwwat and Risalat, to which direct access is not now possible for anyone, so we have therefore, to hold that for this endowment, it is essential now that one should get to that stage, that point, of a great prominence only through buruziat, zilliat, and through self-effacement in, loyalty and love for the Holy Prophet Mohammad."
This passage clears the following points:
In short, it is quite clear from this passage that, at the time when the Promised Messiah wrote the pamphlet entitled Ek Ghalati ka Izala, he did not think that, for obtaining this gift of grace of Nabuwwat, which former Prophets obtained directly, it was not binding that he should not be a follower of the Holy Prophet. In fact, for an Ummati, the gift of grace of Nabuwwat, formerly which came directly, was now a thing clearly ordained and promised in the verse an'amta `alaihim .
