Match preview: Saints v Sunderland
Southampton's last fixture on the 8th December saw them grab a 1-0 over fellow strugglers Reading thanks to a second half goal from Jason Puncheon. The Saints created more than enough chances to extend the scoreline even further and Nigel Adkins will be looking for more ruthlessness in front of goal this weekend.
The Black Cats slipped further down the Premier League table last weekend as they were dominated in clinical fashion by league leaders Man Utd. Former United striker Frazier Campbell notched a second half consolation goal but it was never going to be enough against a Utd side poised to challenge for league honours once again.
Here's a look at the stand-out players from each team, with stats provided by the EA SPORTS Player Performance Index and odds from 888sport.com (odds are correct at the time of posting):
- Portuguese defender Jose Fonte will be key to Nigel Adkins' plans to establish Southampton in the Premier League in the latter half of the season. He's amassed an incredible 112 interceptions and 27 clearances this season.
- French midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin has been earning rave reviews for his work ethic this season but he will be looking to remove some of defensive misdemeanors in the second half of the season. He's currently ranked 4th on the EA SPORTS Player Performance Index for fouls committed with 33.
- Schneiderlin is 6/1 at 888sport.com to convert his work rate into a goal and score against Sunderland this weekend.
- Teenage sensation Luke Shaw continues to show why some of the Premier League's biggest clubs are hot on his trail. He's established a tackle success rate of 85% from 20 challenges and has a foul-to-tackle ratio of only one every 10 attempts.
- Young defender Jack Cork continues to build on his growing reputation on the south coast, turning in another solid performance against Reading last time out. The EA SPORTS Player Performance Index recorded him as running for 6.70 miles.
- Last fixture's goalscorer Jason Puncheon has proven himself equally adept at defending as he is going forward. He has a defensive success rate of 58% as well as providing 17 crosses and 4 assists this season.
- Stephane Sessegnon has been in good form with the ball at his feet this, but his defensive efforts have left something to be desired. He's only won 50% of his challenges this season, giving away 23 fouls in the process. He's still an industry-best 10/3 to score this weekend though at 888sport.com.
- James McLean once again topped the distance charts for Sunderland last weekend, racking up a 6.54 mile total according to the EA SPORTS Player Performance Index. This is 4th times he's worked the hardest in the Sunderland match day squad, giving him a cumulative total of 83.17 miles this season.
- The Northern Irishman has also amassed a quite remarkable set of defensive statistics for a player primarily known for his eagerness to push forward. He has a 64% tackle success rate this season.
- Martin O'Neill may well wonder where his Sunderland side would be had they not brought in Steven Fletcher in the summer. The EA SPORTS Player Performance Index shows he has scored 41% of their 17 goals this season, as well as registering two assists. He's a fancied choice at 888sport.com to continue this run of form against Southampton at 2/1 to score.
- No player in the Sunderland squad has a better tackle success rate than Carlos Cuellar, with 89% from 38 challenges complemented by only 6 fouls at a rate of one of 352 minutes.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Nov. 13 (UPI) -- Retailers in Denmark said they agreed to lower their food prices after the government agreed to eliminate the so-called "fat tax" from the 2013 budget.
The repeal comes about a year after Denmark passed the first-in-the-world tax on the fat content of food, The Copenhagen Post reported.
The retailers' move was part of Parliament's negotiations on the 2013 budget, which also includes cancellation of a tax on sugar content that would have gone into effect next year, government officials said.
Food producers and others criticized the tax, saying it it raised the price of Danish products to levels more expensive than imports and it increased administrative work for the food producers required to collect it.
Businesses said similar situations would arise with the sugar tax if it were levied.
Eliminating the two taxes, as well as decisions to scrap a planned tax hike on Danes working abroad and reducing a tax on electric heat -- sent the government scrambling to make up the $682 million hole left in their revenue projections, the Post said.
Revenue will be raised by, among other things, lowering the standard deduction, raising the basic tax rate, lawmakers said.

wikiHow to Make Besan Ladoo
Two Parts:Making Besan LadooAdding IngredientsCommunity Q&A
Besan ladoo is a sweet dough-like food made during most South Asian festivals. Anyone can make them at home, as long as they're up for a lot of stirring. Keep a close eye on the ladoo mixture so it doesn't burn.
Makes 10 large or 15 small besan ladoos
- 2 cups (184g) coarse besan
- ½ to ⅔ cup (110–150g) ghee
- 1 cup (125g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp (5 mL) cardamom powder (elachi powder)
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) milk
- 1 tsp (5 mL) cinnamon powder
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) golden raisins
- 15 slivered almonds, cashew halves, or pistachios
Part 1
Making Besan Ladoo
to Make Besan Ladoo1Melt the ghee. Warm the ghee in a pan to melt it. Pour it into the besan, stirring constantly.
- Start with ½ cup (110g) ghee. If there is still dry besan after the next step, or if you like extra-shiny, soft ladoos, add more one spoonful at a time.[1]
- Ghee is clarified butter that's been toasted for a nutty, caramelized flavor. You can substitute plain unsalted butter, but it will have much less flavor.
to Make Besan Ladoo2Roast the besan over medium-low heat. Stir constantly for about 10–12 minutes, watching the besan brown evenly. This is the most important step. Too little cooking will leave an unpleasant raw taste, while too much can burn the flour. Constant stirring will help prevent these problems.[2]
- Use an Indian karahi (kadai), a wok, or a deep saucepan.
- Besan is the Hindi word for gram flour. It is also sold as chickpea flour, garbanzo bean flour, cece flour, chana flour, or (in Tamil markets) kadalai maavu.
3Add cardamom and milk. Add the cardamom powder (elachi) at this point. If you are using milk and/or cinnamon for more flavor, add those as well. Stir for just a few seconds, then turn off the heat.
- Milk adds a richer taste and fluffier texture, but shortens the shelf life.[3] You can skip the milk if you like.
4Let it cool in a mixing bowl. Move the mixture to a large bowl. Keep stirring for a minute to avoid burning the besan. Set it aside and let it cool for ten minutes. This will stop the sugar from melting, but not cool it so much that the sugar can't blend in.
- While waiting, you can make boora if you want to use it instead of sugar.
to Make Besan Ladoo5Mix in powdered sugar. Add sugar to the besan mixture. Stir until combined. Do not add the sugar while the besan is still hot, or it may burn. Leave the mixture to cool to room temperature.
- If you only have granulated sugar, turn it into powdered sugar with a food processor, coffee grinder, or spice grinder.
to Make Besan Ladoo6Shape into balls. Wash and dry your hands. Shape the mixture into balls with your hands. Store in an airtight container. If you want to decorate them, see below for optional instructions.
Part 2
Adding Ingredients
1Mix in golden raisins. You can add these directly to the mix, or poke one into each ball. Deep fry them in ghee first for even better flavor. Pat them dry after frying, with a paper towel.
- Chopped, dry fruit will work as well.
to Make Besan Ladoo2Decorate with nuts. Put a slivered almond, a cashew half, or a pistachio on the top of each ladoo. Press lightly to push it into the dessert.
3Coat in almond meal. Coarse almond meal adds a tasty, crunchy outside. Roll each ball in it.[6]
- This is sold as badam powder at Indian markets.
4Use boora instead of sugar. Many people make their own boora and use it instead of sugar in besan ladoo. This is quick, easy, and uses common ingredients. Here's a larger batch so you can store extra for other recipes:[7][8]
- Mix 2¼ cup (450g) granulated sugar and ½ cup (120 mL) water.
- Heat in a karahi or other deep pan. Bring to a boil. Stir constantly for 2 or 3 minutes.
- Add a spoonful of milk and stir. Use a ladle to skim off the dirty foam that appears at the top. (May not be necessary if sugar and water is clean.)
- Add a spoonful of ghee to prevent lumps. Cook until the syrup is very thick and nearly transparent. Keep stirring vigorously. This takes about ten minutes.
- Turn the heat off. Move it to a cool surface. Keep stirring constantly until the mixture cools.
Community Q&A
Is it compulsory to use coarse besan?wikiHow ContributorYes. The smoother the besan, the more pasty the end product. Coarse besan will help in holding the structure of the laddoo.
Can I use any flour making besan ladoo?wikiHow ContributorNo, you need to use besan flour (Bengal gram flour) in making besan laddoo.
When do I add sugar into the besan ladoo?wikiHow ContributorYou need to use powdered sugar after the besan is cooked, removed from the flame, and cooled.
Can I use khoya to make besan ladoo?wikiHow ContributorNo, for besan ladoo you need to use besan (gram flour) to make it.
Unanswered Questions
Can I powder the chana dal at home in a mixer?
Ask a Question

- When you drizzle milk over the besan ghee mix, it should sizzle and disappear into the besan.
- Many people add the ghee right away. This will work, but this makes stirring more difficult and can make the texture worse.[9]
- Stir the mix constantly over low heat, or it will stick to the bottom of the pan and burn.
- The besan and ghee mix gets very hot.

I don't think they mean anything by it - at least most of the time. Glock is just the standard. Pretty much everyone who's into guns (or at least into semi-auto hand guns) is at least passingly familiar with glocks. The only other gun that you can be fairly sure people will be familiar with are 1911's, but they're too much of their own thing to be as useful to compare. I'd take it as a compliment that whenever someone finds an auto they really like they basically all describe it as "even better than a glock".
To the OP:
I had pretty much the same experience with the XDs. I very much like it, and it's become my primary carry.
I keep hearing really good things about the sr9c. I'm going to have to check one out sometime here soon. The p95 sort of soured me on Ruger center-fire autos - it felt sort of like shooting a potato to me - but with all the good things I keep hearing about their new line it's looking like it's time to give them another try.

Policeman takes out pitch invader with glorious two-footed tackle (Beitar Jerusalem-Maccabi Haifa)
One of the highlights of Maccabi Haifa's 2-1 win at Beitar Jerusalem in the Israeli Ligat Ha'Al came with ten minutes to go as a pitch invader held up proceedings.
Chased by two policemen, said invader managed to evade a first tackle on the slippery turf at Teddy Stadium but could do nothing about the challenge that floored him on the halfway line.
With thanks to Israsport for the find.

A CONTROVERSIAL party hotel has become the first in Blackpool to be shut down using tough powers normally applied to drug dens and brothels.
The Malibu Hotel on Albert Road was due to accommodate 100 guests this weekend but must now turn them away.
Town hall chiefs applied for a closure order after receiving a catalogue of complaints from other hoteliers in the holiday heartland.
Yesterday Blackpool magistrates agreed the venue must stay closed until a full hearing takes place in four weeks.
Neighbouring hoteliers have complained about noise, and lewd and anti-social behaviour since The Malibu opened last year targeting the stag and hen market.
They say owner Jonathan Hartley cannot control his guests whose disruptive behaviour – culminating in a massive brawl recently – is damaging trade nearby.
Adrian Smurthwaite, of The Albany Hotel, said: "All our guests, including children, are witnessing this mayhem.
"We know a lot of hotels take stag and hen groups, but the point is at this hotel there is no control over them."
Diane Waters, of The Arabella Hotel, said: "The noise is terrible and you see people being sick over the railings and against the walls. Every weekend there is disruption in the street."
The council successfully used Asbo laws to have the premises closed down. It is believed to be the first time such an order has been used to shut a successful commercial business.
Mr Hartley's solicitor Trevor Colebourne told the court: "My client has invested £250,000 in what was a dilapidated rat infested building used by tramps.
"He has 100 guests, well within his licence limits, due to arrive for the weekend. They have already paid £20 per head per night.
"There are the same numbers booked in for the next three weekends – far more than other hotels in this area will be expecting."
Council leader Coun Simon Blackburn said the situation was "shocking".
He added "This is the first time we've used this legislation to close a hotel down with immediate effect.
"It was a situation we could not allow to continue for another day, let alone weekend."

Weekly update highlights 'dramatic' lack of water in Blue River Basin

SUMMIT COUNTY — Near record-low stream flows and dry soils and vegetation in northwest Colorado mean that even more of the area is now designated as being in extreme drought, including most of Summit County and nearly all of Eagle County.
The National Integrated Drought Information System is reporting a "dramatic lack of water" in the Blue River Basin, where streams are all flowing near record low levels. Read the weekly update at the Summit Voice Scribd.com feed.
The only part of Summit County not under extreme drought conditions are in the southeast, closest to the high terrain around the Continental Divide. All of the agricultural areas in the Lower Blue, north of Silverthorne, are in the extreme drought area.
Garfield, Rio Blanco, Moffat, Routt, and parts of Grand, Jackson, Larimer, Summit, Pitkin, and Mesa counties are all now in the extreme drought zone, with the rest of the West Slope under severe drought conditions.
In Eagle County, most streams are flowing at about 30 percent of historical averages and peak runoff was early and hardly noticeable in some streams, according to a release from the Eagle River Water & Sanitation District.
As opposed to Summit County, where water providers have been largely silent — at least in public — on worsening drought conditions, The Eagle County utility has been proactive about informing users and customers about the situation and providing information on mitigating potential drought impacts.
Here's part of the latest message from the district:
"Our community water supply is largely dependent upon adequate flows in local streams and rivers. Eagle River Water and Sanitation District encourages community members to lessen the impact of drought by efficiently using water, especially in outdoor areas.
"Should drought conditions persist, water available for irrigation and other outdoor uses may be less than normal, or unavailable, this year. Currently, normal year-round Water Use Regulations apply, which allow outdoor water use up to three days per week, before 10 am or after 4 pm."
In addition to the winter's low snowfall and early melt-off, rainfall has continued below average and temperatures have been above average for several months running. During May, most of Colorado's northern and central mountains only received about 50 percent to 70 percent of average precipitation. The West Slope and the southwest corner of the state were even more dry, with only 20 percent to 50 percent of average precipitation.
More than 85 percent of the streamflow gages in the Upper Colorado River Basin are reporting below-average readings, with the exception of the Upper Green River in Wyoming, where flows are above average.
The short-range forecast calls for a slight chance of some afternoon thunderstorms, mainly around the Continental Divide, to start the weekend, but generally dry conditions for the seven-day forecast period, along with continued above-average temperatures.

The "Feelings" Toolkit:
An Essential Guide for Guys, Part 1
By Steven Freemire, MFT, CCMC Director
Fall 2013
Just as every skilled carpenter needs a well-stocked toolkit, boys and men need
a "feelings" toolkit to lead healthy and productive lives. In this article, the first
of a two-part series, CCMC provides an instructional guide on how to identify what
we are feeling by tracking the physical sensations in our bodies and our thoughts.
By Steven Freemire, MFT, CCMC Director
The "Feelings" Toolkit: An Essential Guide for Guys
The Four Primary Feelings: Anxiety, Sadness, Anger and Happiness 1
"If all you have is a hammer, then everything looks like a nail."
Anyone who has ever done a construction project knows the importance of having
the right tools. As a start, our toolbox would likely include: a tape measure; a
hammer; an adjustable wrench; a utility knife; Vise-Grips; and a set of socket wrenches. 2
And, depending on the job, we may need drawings or plans, or an instruction manual.
If we were to attempt to build a desk without following any plans and using only a
hammer, we would be seriously hampered in how well and how easily we could build it.
That is the predicament many boys and men find themselves in when it comes to
our emotional lives. In that realm, a well-stocked "feelings" toolkit would include a
set of skills enabling us to:
1. Know what we are feeling (self-awareness)
2. Manage our emotions and reactions (self-management)
3. Harness our emotions to take action and work toward goals (motivation)
4. Recognize and understand what others are feeling (empathy)
5. Use this knowledge to build and manage relationships at home and in the world (social skills) 3
Many men are taught to prize logic and reason, and fear that emotions will cloud
our thinking. Indeed, if we don't have the skills to interpret and integrate our
feelings, they may well paralyze us or misguide us. The answer is not to ignore or
override our feelings; rather, it is to use them as important information that can
help us make well-considered decisions, take decisive action, and build better
Unfortunately, guys have been humiliated or shamed for showing our more tender
feelings. If a boy gets hurt on the playing field and starts crying, he may be teased
for being a sissy or sternly commanded to stop crying, buck up and be a man. If a
guy shows fear when facing a daunting challenge, he may be teased for what is
actually a healthy response. Experiences like these have taught many males to hide
those more vulnerable parts of themselves, first by not showing them and
eventually by cutting off from the feelings entirely to lessen our vulnerability to
being hurt.
Not surprisingly guys may turn to coping mechanisms such as alcohol, drugs, porn or
compulsive sex, and even an excess of pleasurable activities such as watching
sports and playing video games, to numb ourselves from or override our feelings.
As a result, many males do not develop a full range of emotional skills; and for some
men, in what is the equivalent to having only a hammer in our toolbox, we may feel
and express one emotion above all others: our anger.
Two Eye-Opening Studies
In a landmark study, Harvard researcher George Vaillant 4 tracked two groups of men
over a 60-year period to determine what makes for happiness later in life.
Men who had struggles with careers in mid-life and physical sickness and emotional
pain in later life were more likely to have expressed anger through explosive
outbursts or dealt with it by burying it deep within themselves. By contrast, those
men who were happy and successful demonstrated a sense of comfort and
acceptance of their emotional lives, and an ability to talk about their emotions. 5
In another research project, psychologist Stefanie Spera 5 studied a group of
unemployed engineers, most of them men in their 50s, who had worked at a Dallas
computer company for thirty years before being laid off. One group went about
their job search as usual, while another group added one additional strategy: they
wrote for twenty minutes a day for five consecutive days about their deepest
thoughts and feelings related to the layoffs and how it affected them personally
and professionally.
Eight months later, 53 percent of the writing group had found full-time
employment compared to 14 percent of the non-writing group even though both
groups had gone on the same number of job interviews.
Because that difference was statistically very significant, the researchers
concluded that the writing group had found a way to come to grips with their anger
and hurt over being laid off, and were able to better put those feelings behind
them and present themselves more effectively in their interviews.
Keys To Assembling A Well-Stocked "Feellngs" Toolkit For Boys And Men
1. Step One: Read the "Feelings Instructional Manual"
Over the years I have purchased furniture from places like Ikea or Target that
required assembly. The instructions always say to make sure you have all the parts
and to read the instructions fully before proceeding.
On occasion, I have done that, but on others, I was impatient and didn't take the
time. Bad move! I had to disassemble an entire desk when I realized I had skipped
a critical step at the beginning. Another time I had spent several hours by the time
I discovered for one set of shelves I had two "left sides" instead of 1 right and 1
left, and had to return the whole thing to the store and start all over.
What does an instruction manual have to do with boys and men and their feelings?
Everything. Not infrequently males are so conditioned to want to fix problems that
we may give in to our first impulse to act without surveying what is motivating us
and then assessing what is needed. Our impulsive actions might be best described
as "Ready! Fire! Aim!" We may be firing before we aim because we don't know what
we are feeling. Or in other cases, such as when we are "blind" with rage, we may be
firing wildly because we are experiencing feelings so intensely that we don't know
how to modulate them.
To act effectively, we first need to read and understand the "blueprint" of our
feelings before we plunge into action. We have at our disposal two essential
sources of information: the physical sensations in our bodies and our thoughts.
In her practical and valuable book, "The Emotional Toolkit," UCLA Professor Darlene
Mininni, PhD, identifies what she calls "The Four Primary Feelings: Anxiety,Sadness,
Anger and Happiness. (Or, as I often reference them, "Afraid, Sad, Mad and Glad").
As a first step in assembling our "feelings toolkit," here is a concise checklist and
"Operations Manual" for understanding and identifying these primary emotions:
Anxiety: Generally involves a speeding up; associated with fear about a threatening
situation in the future and a belief you can't cope
1. Body: Racing heart, tense muscles, knotted stomach, sweating, dry mouth, feeling
on edge, shaking, shallow breathing, and difficulty sleeping
2. Thoughts: Thoughts racing and focused on worries about what will happen in the
future. Often involves the thoughts, "what if." Two types of fears:
• Fear of danger (bodily harm, illness, death)
• Fear of loss (of a job, relationship, status, opportunities, your reputation,
your self-confidence).
Key questions to ask in identifying anxiety:
1.What do I notice happening in my body and how might that suggest I am afraid of something?
2. What am I afraid of losing in the future?
Sadness: Typically experienced as a slowing down and associated with an actual or
anticipated experience of loss, rejection or failure
1.Body: Tiredness, heaviness, a shift in appetite, oversleeping or the inability
to sleep, tearfulness or crying.
2.Thoughts: Focused on actual loss (loved one who has died, a road not taken in our
career or personal lives, a falling short of our expectations of ourselves) or
anticipating possible future loss.
Key questions to ask in identifying sadness:
1. What do I notice happening in my body and how might that suggest I am sad about something?
2. Is there some actual or possible loss about which I might be upset?
Anger: Often associated with injustice or unfairness, of having been wronged
or criticized unjustly.
1.Body: Similar to anxiety, involves a speeding up, and often involving a rush of energy
that wants to be expelled or it feels like something will burst in us. Frequently
accompanied by tension in the jaw or chest, hands clenched.
2.Thoughts: Generally focused on the source of injustice, the person or situation you
feel has wronged you.
NOTE: Anger can mislead us! What we think is about being wronged might instead
hide an underlying sadness or fear, or even embarrassment and shame. With boys
and men especially, anger is often more accessible than those more vulnerable
feelings. In the case of "defensive anger," we may blame others instead of looking
inside and owning up to the embarrassment or shame we feel for our own poor
choices (such as a teen boy who blames his parents instead of recognizing his own
responsibility for what happened).
Key questions to ask in identifying anger:
1.What is happening in my body and might that be a clue that I feel angry?
2.What is the wrong that has been done to me?"
3.Might I be experiencing fear or sadness underneath the anger instead of
truly being wronged or violated?
4.Might I be blaming others for something I feel embarrassed or ashamed
about my part in (and may not even fully realize)?
Happiness: Usually involves gain that enhances our sense of pleasure and contentment
1.Body: Can be a speeding up of feelings when elated (racing heart, fast breathing, smiling) or a more quiet feeling of lightness (relaxed muscles, calm, slow breathing)
2.Thoughts: Focus is on something pleasurable added to our life and the well being that comes with that (i.e., getting into college that will lead to good times and success, or learning to play basketball or a video game that brings a greater sense of competence and expectation of good times playing with others)
Key questions to ask in identifying happiness:
1. What do I notice happening in my body and how might that reflect me feeling happy?
2. What have I gained? What might I gain?
Step 2: Put The Manual To Work Every Day:
Now that you have this "Operations Manual" for identifying feelings, go through
this checklist regularly to assess how your feelings may be connected to what is
happening. As you make this more and more of a habit, you will get increasingly
conversant with knowing what you are feeling.
To identify if certain feelings are a problem, ask yourself:
1.Is it causing me to feel distressed?
2.Is it negatively affecting my ability to work or play?
3.Is it negatively affecting my relationship with others?
If the answer to any of these questions is "Yes," then it will be important to dig
into your "feelings toolkit" to help you manage and process what you are feeling so
you can eliminate the problems they are causing in your life. These are the tools we
will provide in Part 2 of this article.
A well-stocked "feelings" toolkit starts with following the "instruction manual" to
identify our feelings using our body sensations and thoughts. The more we know
about our inner experience, the better we can respond to others, and to challenges
and opportunities in our lives. The more we cut off or numb ourselves to our
experience, such as with alcohol, sports, video games, gambling or other addictive
activities, the more we likely we are to be stumbling in the dark and to have to
depend on others as our guides. Once we can name what we are feeling, and also
have some idea why, we can then use additional tools to regulate and manage our

Stewing in an Australian prison, Jasper Dean reflects on his relationship with his dead father and recounts the many zany adventures they shared together.
©2008 Steve Tolz; (P)2008 Recorded Books
"Comic drive and Toltz's far-out imagination carry [this] epic story." (Publishers Weekly)
"A Funny and Thought-provoking Tale of Human Nature"
Okay, I know this might sound weird, but if Dostoyevsky were alive today, Steve Toltz could probably teach him a thing or two about the nature of misanthropy. Still, A Fraction of the Whole manages to push the envelope of absurd to the very limits of transgressional fiction, while remaining humorous enough to sustain most reader's attention spans. The thing is, Toltz's characters are so incredibly hard to sympathize with, that you're likely to find yourself trying hard to understand how they are a reflection of humanity as a whole. And from this effort, the truth of their "every man" identities becomes glaringly obvious.
Anyone who reads this story is likely to be both disgusted at the characters and reflected within them, all the while laughing despite this. Oh, and if you only like stories that wrap up nice and neat and fall into your lap during the death throws of their denouements — don't read this. However, if you're comfortable with the fact that life doesn't resolve itself like a Polaroid picture, then sit back, strap on a comfy pair of headphones, and enjoy one of the quirkiest tales you're likely to feast your ears on told by a pair of truly talented narrators whose performances are of rare quality.
"Beautifully written, wonderful characters"
This is a beautifully written book with richly drawn characters. The Dean family will take you on a wild ride around the world, and as unlikely as they and their lives are, this book is so well written you'll believe every bit of it. Clever, ironic, dark, and absolutely worth reading.
"40% Great"
I loved 40% of this book! It tells the story of a father and his son who are both extremely odd and have a very dysfunctional relationship. Most of the book is told from the point of view of the son (the 60% I did not like) and 40% is wonderfully told by the father. The reader of the father portion is much better than the reader of the son portions. If you take the time to listen to it, there are a lot of moments of pleasure, however you have to wade through a lot of muck to get there.
"Charming and Fun"
The book starts off a bit slowly, but you're soon drawn in to a world of villainy, deceit, and hysterically bad parenting. The narration captures each of the characters in a way that I think might not have been as carefully presented--had I just read the book. In short, one of the reasons that I listen to audio books. First class narrators, and a witty, character-driven story.
"Laugh-out-loud funny"
A Fraction of the Whole is a sprawling, big and baggy, super funny first novel by the Australian author Steve Toltz. The story goes back and forth between the two narrators, a father and son, telling their own stories of their lives. The father goes back to his childhood and the brother who becomes his nemesis. The son tells more of the later story, but they switch off nicely throughout the book. The ending gets a bit bizarre. Great narration.
"Incredible story"
I didn't want it to end. The characters were frustrating and endearing. You wanted to follow them through all the craziness.
"What a ride!"
Great book. Great narrators. Like nothing I've ever read. Wonderful characters. Hilarious. A strangely great father and son story that i couldn't get enough of. As original as it gets.
This production is a masterpiece. Author is obviously a genious with wit and a great sense of humor who can actually write! What a rare combination! This is my favorite audio book of all time, favorite author of all time, and favorite narrators of all time. This is a riot in audio due to the Aussie accent of the father and son narrators who got it just right. Buy this!!
"Audio fan in Austin"
I found this book "laugh out loud" funny - in many, many places. Both readers were just great. I am recommending to everyone I know who loves smart, funny books!
"Can't love it enough"
Tolz's smart writing is what pulls you in, what astounds you, and what you stay for. The story is inventive, far-flung, irreverent, and the characters are cuckoo! But also hard to ignore or dismiss. Some may balk at the length, but I wished it was longer. Listening to an Aussie accent is heavenly, though I will say, it takes just a bit of an ear to tell the two voices apart sometimes, but it isn't a problem for the story, only if you start the audio book in the middle of a section and forgot who was talking.
I realize that it isn't for everyone, especially those who want nothing but action or easy story. This requires some critical thought processing but offers buckets of humor in return. It made me smile for 25 hours. What else can claim that distinction? And it is the first book I have listened to more than 2xs. Please hurry up and get Quicksand on Audible.

I've spent the last three days with my immediate family and I've come to the realization that we all have a very unique sense of humor, and it seems that my niece has inherited it.
My very first niece got married this weekend.
It was the first marriage of a niece or nephew from within my family, the first from her mothers side, and from her new grooms family too, so it was very special. But of course all weddings are special.
I really wasn't sure how I'd feel about her wedding.
I hadn't mentioned this before but for some reason I really don't like weddings.
I think that's probably fairly rare for a woman to feel that way, but I do. I don't know why I feel this way either, but weddings tend to make me feel sad.
Don't get me wrong. I'm very happy for Petra and I'm sure she's going to have a long and happy marriage because her new husband is just the nicest man and head over heals in love with her.
I was also very excited to be going to her wedding, but I think I thought I'd feel sad at her wedding. My parents have both passed away in the last few years and I thought this would contribute to my emotions, because I know they would have loved nothing more than to see our beautiful Petey get married.
But I was wrong! I had the best time.
I was a bit emotional when I first saw her walking down the aisle on my brothers arm, but it was pure happiness for her. She was just gorgeous too! I don't have any children of my own yet, and due to my illness there is a chance that I never will. So I suppose I feel that all my nephews and nieces are my babies too.
Maybe that's why this wedding didn't make me feel sad, and instead made me feel so happy. A very special person within my family was starting life with her new husband.
The wedding took place outside at a lovely Country Club. It was sunny but the wind was a little cool. The bride and groom and wedding party stood on a rocky outcropping near a very large pond or perhaps a small lake. Swans swam in the water nearby, and Canadian geese flew in the background. It was as close to perfect as any wedding can be.
I uploaded several pictures to my flickr account if you'd care to view them.
Regarding that unique sense of humor gene that my niece must have inherited? Guess what music they played at the end of the ceremony as they walked down the aisle as husband and wife? The theme from Star Wars! It was the last thing anyone expected and it was hilarious!
Petra didn't tell her mother before hand what music was going to be played because she was afraid her mom would try to veto it, and she's probably right.
She's been a Star Wars fan since she was a child. I'm not sure how she gained her interest since the first three movies were already several years old by the time she was born. Either way, as odd as the music was to hear at the end of a ceremony – it was fitting in it's own way.
The reception took place at the same Country Club as the ceremony. We were treated to a huge assortment of hor'dourves while the wedding party had photographs taken. Mussels, squid, pastries, salads and on and on. Then we sat down to a dinner that started with a lovely salad, then an entree of roasted chicken, fillet Mignon and vegetables, followed by French pastries.
Near the end of the evening a small room was set up with several types of deserts, assorted fruit and a chocolate fountain. I never made it into the room so I'm not sure what all the goodies were, but I heard they were delicious.
I danced all night. The music was great. I think everyone except my own husband danced that night.
I also felt pretty good up until just before midnight. By this I mean I didn't feel totally healthy all day, but I felt well enough to let go and enjoy myself. I'm glad that I was able to enjoy myself for most of the evening because I think I really needed to have some fun.
Then midnight rolled around and my tummy decided it had, had enough, so after some lengthy good-byes we left and got back to our hotel room by about 1 a.m. The reception ended at 1:30 anyway, so we didn't miss much.
The wedding cake wasn't really a cake at all. Another twist – It was perhaps a couple hundred cupcakes layered on top of each other to look something like a three or four tiered wedding cake.
The following day, Sunday, the immediate family went to my brother and sister-in-laws home. The new bride and groom joined us for brunch and the opening of the gifts.
If you look at the pictures that I uploaded you'll see some with the bride and groom surrounded by gifts. Many of the gifts in the background of the picture were from the showers that were held prior to the wedding and were already opened, and then there were the wedding gifts.
One of the best gifts was perhaps from my brother Terry and his wife Rene, who live in Vancouver. They gave the new couple a week from their time-share to use for their honeymoon. I thought that was sweet.
Now for the oddest part. The new couple purchased a house about two years ago. A house that was to be built in a new housing development. The home was supposed to be finished by September 2005, then the closing date was pushed back to December, then I believe May 2006. Well … it's still not finished. The new completion date is sometime in July!
I suppose it doesn't make too much sense for the new couple to rent a place for only a couple of months before their home is complete (if it ever is), so they are going to continue on as they have been doing for the last year. By this I mean the groom will continue to live at his parents house, and my niece Petra will continue to live at her parents home.
Petra would occasionally go to Kris' parents and stay there for a few days each week, and I guess that will continue, but until their home is complete they will not officially be living together as a couple.
This just doesn't seem right. I can see a delay of perhaps as much as two months for a newly built home, but 10 months or more? No way.
I'll save my tale of this evenings events for tomorrows posting.

Ancient Roots of Medical Marijuana
Published: 02/10/2012
by Anna N. Damide
Caregivers have been giving marijuana to soothe pain since the dawn of civilization – literally. Around 2900 BC, Emperor Fu brought his civilization to China. He was also one of the first to reference Ma, the Chinese word for cannabis, noting that it was already a popular remedy. Emperor Chen Nung, the father of Chinese medicine, discovered cannabis had healing properties a couple of centuries later. Cannabis was included in the 15th century BC Chinese Pharmacopeia, the Rh-Ya.
The medicinal use of cannabis, along with other herbs like ginseng and ephedra, was spread to other civilizations and religions. The original Hebrew version of holy anointing oil recipe in Exodus (30:22-23) calls for six pounds of kaneh-bosem to be mixed with other herbs into about six quarts of olive oil. The anointed person would literally be drenched in this aromatic holy oil. Spiritualists believe this recipe was handed down by God to Moses. Some researchers, including linguists, botanists, anthropologists and etymologists, believe the King James Version of the Bible mistakenly identifies kaneh-bosem as calamus.
Modern scientists found evidence of cannabis pollen on the Egyptian mummy of Ramsesses II who died in 1213 BC. Cannabis was frequently prescribed in ancient Egypt to treat inflammation and eye problems such as glaucoma. It was also used during the administration of enemas.
Around 1000 BC, people in India began mixing cannabis with milk to create Bhang, an anesthetic and treatment for phlegm. Healers in India began to expand the role of cannabis in treating medical conditions and reducing pain. By 600 BC, healers in India were using cannabis to treat a variety of illnesses and to improve life in various ways. Improvements include sharpening the mind, prolonging lifespan, improving judgment, and inducing sleep. Fun fact: Marijuana was even used to cure leprosy!
By this time, cannabis had spread to the Middle East. The ancient Persian text from that time, the Venidad, names cannabis as one of the most important of the 10,000 medicinal plants listed. Cannabis continued its' global trek, reaching Greece by at least 200 BC. Caregivers recommend this medicine to ease symptoms such as earache, swelling, and inflammation.
The New Testament describes how Jesus anointed his disciples with potent enthogenic oil. Researchers now know an enthogenic is a psychoactive substance believed to be cannabis. Believers suggest Jesus then urged these disciples to anoint others in the community in this same way. James, one of Jesus' disciples, called upon elders to continue this tradition of anointing the sick and elderly in the potent enthogenic oil.
In 70 AD, a Greek physician, Pedanius Dioscorides, published a book called "De Materia Medica", which translates to "On Medical Matters." This publication became the most important medical book in existence for the next 1500 years. In this book, Dioscorides prescribes marijuana to treat earache and suppress sexual longing. Other physicians of the time use boiled cannabis roots to treat cramped joints, gout and pain.
By 200 AD, a Chinese physician by the name of Hua To was performing abdominal, loin and chest surgery. He claimed these procedures were made nearly painless by the use of ma-yo, an anesthetic made from cannabis resin and wine. Medical marijuana eased the suffering of countless people over the next few centuries as healers and spiritualists explored the many uses of cannabis.
By 800 AD, Arabic doctors were using medical marijuana to treat a wide variety of illnesses, ranging from migraines to syphilis. Hashish, a more-potent derivative of marijuana, was gaining popularity for medicinal purposes. After the 1500s, Islamic physicians prescribed marijuana to curb sexual appetite. Medical marijuana was still widely used during the middle ages, spreading to England and other parts of Europe.
Cannabis also sailed across the ocean to the New World with the Jamestown settlers in 1611. Marijuana played an important role in the United States for the next three centuries before being demonized by prohibitionists, social conservatives and even a newspaper mogul.
Today, researchers are fanning the flames of interest in medical marijuana as a safe and effective pain reliever, sedative, appetite stimulant and more.

Buckskin Gulch, Utah
The longest and deepest slot canyon in the Southwest U.S. (and quite possibly the longest in the world), Buckskin Gulch stretches for over 13 miles with the cliffs on either side reaching as high as 500 feet. It is one of the main tributaries of the Paria River, which flows only intermittently. Because of the depth of the canyon, it doesn't fill with light the way Antelope Canyon does. But the length and diversity of terrain draw in experienced hikers. A permit is required to hike into the area, and the permits usually sell out months in advance, so if you want to hike this slot canyon, start planning way ahead of time. Also be aware this is a challenging hike and there is a risk of flash floods during certain seasons — as there is with most slot canyons.

Hello :-)
I'm an engineer (mechanic) so Cprogramming is not my job, and my question can sound silly
to most of you. Please understand and thank you in advance.
My problem is:
I get a FileList.txt on argv[1], for example:
I want to fopen(_argv[1],"r") then fopen(first_file,"rb"); and that's OK, I can do that.
My problem is that after reading the file I need to create a NewFile.dat with the same name
and "same Path" but to a new folder, for example i need this kind of output:
(note F00 changed to F01..)
of course when i try to fopen(NewFile_in_NewPath,"wb") i get my warning
"cannot open file.." .. beacuse the NewPath doesn't exist yet.(I think)
So i tried to use the function mkdir(const char *path) but i cant get it right
It seem not so easy( to me ) to automatically create folders from C code.
Any tips ?
ThankYou Paolo

Get educated now on the new rules of employee expense reimbursements!
Employee Expense Reimbursements:Compliance Workshop
The legal and financial risks of mishandling employee expense reimbursements have spiked in recent years. And the IRS is in the middle of a wide-ranging audit crackdown on employment-tax issues.Would your books survive an IRS spot-check? Do you know which reimbursements for employee expenses should be treated as expenses … and which as compensation?
If handled incorrectly, employee expense reimbursements can be disallowed as expenses, meaning they'd be considered compensation to employees.The result: an unhappy employee — and your company would be on the hook for the related payroll taxes and penalties.
You need to get it right every time. Employee Expense Reimbursements: Compliance Workshop provides the most up-to-date rules and requirements for expense reimbursements. Plus, get an expert's advice on the best practice for reporting and processing them.Discover answers to questions like:

In a rare occasion, the ceremonial first pitch in the third home game of the year is trumping everything else about opening weekend at Rangers Ballpark.
As previously announced, the father of 6-year-old Emilie Parker, a victim of the tragic Newtown, Conn., elementary school shooting, will throw out the first pitch during Friday's home opener when Josh Hamilton, C.J. Wilson and the Los Angeles Angels come to town.
Robbie Parker's pitch will without a doubt leave everyone in tears, but the Rangers announced a first pitch for Sunday's game, that at least in Texas, might overshadow any other possible first pitch thrower. Johnny Manziel, otherwise known as Johnny Football, the Heisman Trophy winning Texas A&M quarterback will throw out the first pitch on Sunday prior to the nationally televised primetime game.
Manziel, of course, became the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy, given to college football's best player, after leading A&M to an 11-2 record in the Aggies' first season in the football-rich Southeastern Conference and a blowout of Oklahoma in the Cotton Bowl.
Other announcements about the opening weekend included Texas country star Jack Ingram singing the National Anthem in Friday's home opener.

TE FA 5 years ago1 Comment
It would cost the Redskins $6.54 million to use the franchise tag on TE Fred Davis for a second straight year.
The Washington Times believes Davis' progress in his rehab from Achilles surgery could determine whether or not he gets the tag. We believe it's a prohibitive number for a player coming off major surgery. Davis isn't likely to draw that much guaranteed money on the open market.
joegibbskins07 5 years ago
i love his pass catching abilities but this years offense did not utilize the pass catching TE like last years offense did. if cousins is going to be starting, keep him. if not, let him go in favor of a better run blocking TE.
as for the injury, ACL surgery has become a common place in the NFL. its all part of the job. 95% get past it just fine but only 55% of RB's get passed it. he is no RB. let him test the market and see what his true value as a one year wonder from two years ago is and then offer him 10% more to bring him back. it would still be cheaper than the $6.54 mil.

The New Site: Lezzo Dom
Mistress Alexis Payne has a novice slave in her dungeon. When this newbie makes a rude comment, Mistress Alexis puts him
in his place, tying him down to her bondage table, gagging him, and zapping his balls with her electric paddle.
Mistress Alexis ties his cock and balls with rope and stretches his balls using a weighted ball.
She puts him in suspension and stretches his balls and nipples even more, using some creative rope bondage before smothering and trampling him.
She puts on leather gloves and does some hand over mouth smothering and makes him suck her strap-on.

The party at Strapon Fiesta is fucking fantastic. The first ingredient is a group of four or five hot chicks. The next is a strapon cock for each babe and they bring in rubber schlongs of all shapes and sizes. The ladies get dressed and then the final ingredient is introduced: a man with a loose asshole and a desire to get pumped by five hot chicks with strapon cocks. He bends over and is violated in every way you can imagine. Best of all this isn

What an awesome house. We were greeted by Paula with a island smile and welcoming attitude. We have vacationed on the island for 19 years. We have stayed in a variety of beach front homes but none compare with the view and access to the beach as this house. Three steps and your on the beach with full use of beach chairs, kayaks and sand toys for the kids. Inside there is a view of the gulf from every room and ample furnishings. exploring the island there are turtles, manatees, alligators, starfish, stingrays, dolphins and yes snakes... At the end of a long day there is a hot tub to relax in. So much more I could add. It is just a great place to stay....
We've stayed in numerous homes on the island over the years, but have typically had to get a couple different houses to accommodate our group. This year we wanted to be directly on the beach and all be together, so Big on the Beach was perfect for us! November is our adults only trip and we booked for 12 people and had plenty of room for everyone. The house is not as luxurious as some of the others on the island, but it is completely comfortable, spacious, very clean and great for gathering everyone together or taking time to yourself. One of the best features is being directly on the beach and not having to lug chairs, umbrellas, coolers, etc., on golf carts then down to the beach. So much easier to just walk out your door. Also, we never once turned on the A/C due to the constant ocean breeze. We merely left doors and windows open and the sound of the surf at night, was absolutely my favorite part! Keep in mind, the amount of beach fluctuates frequently on the island. We were lucky and had plenty of beach in front of the house, but I have seen the water up to the house at other times. That's probably the only issue that may effect your trip, if you're expecting to walk right out your door and land on the beach. I would highly recommend Big on the Beach for a wonderful experience and must include the caretakers as part of the reason your trip will exceed your expectations. Capt. Richie and Paula went out of their way to make sure we had an exceptional time and take such great care of the property. Thank you all for another great trip to the island!!!
My extended family and I just spent the last week at Big on the Beach. Talk about a dream vacation! It really doesn't get any better than this! The house was perfect for our very large group, including kids ranging from 3 to 18. The house was spacious and everyone had plenty of room. It was nice and very comfortable but not luxurious- which is exactly what we were looking for! The layout is functional with 4 of the bedrooms downstairs and 2 upstairs. Our family loved to congregate upstairs in the evenings in the large open floor-plan consisting of a family room and kitchen. The very best reason we loved this house was the location! It was literally ON the beach just steps from the ocean. The view from every window in the house was spectacular. The sunsets were magnificent from this location and we experienced all kinds of wildlife, including, pelicans, rays, fish, dolphins, osprey, and even a manatee in front of the house! We also especially loved the many balconies and screened in porches. Mainly, it was so convenient not to have to lug all of our stuff to and fro and to be able to access the house throughout the day, especially with the small children. The house came with 2-3 beach umbrellas, 11 chaise lounges, 3 kayaks, a golf cart, and 2 bicycles. All were utilized and very much appreciated!
The island itself is lots of fun! If you like tranquility and the simple life, North Captiva is for you. We enjoyed the beach club for the pools and the pool bar/cafe'. (I highly recommend the Blue Crab Burrito!!) We visited there frequently just to catch sightings of the manatees at the boat slips. It truly was the best vacation ever! We are already planning a return trip!!
Looking too good to be true from the pictures on the website, we found this beautiful North Captiva get-a-way beyond our expectations. We had a beautiful week with 16 of us, 8 adults and 8 children, ranging in age from 10 months to 18. It was a very comfortable house for all of us with respect to making meals, sleepng, and spreading out with privacy as well as full family time. We loved being right on the beach, spending most of the time in the water and exploring the island, and enjoyed the pools at the club as well. We were even able to get a forgotten medication via a mainland pharmacy then boat delivery within just a few hours! The perfect low key vacation with promises to come back.
This home is so beautiful inside and out. It's location is sublime. Listen to the lapping waves as you wake in the morning for a stroll on the beach. Go snorkeling in your front yard. View manatees and porpoises from the decks of the house. Take a kayak to the sand bar. Build sand castles and sip a cocktail as you relax the day away on the beach. It was no less then amazing! Thanks for sharing your amazing home. It was worth every penny.
My family of 9 as well as my brother in law and his fiance spent 9 days at the Beach House. The location is out of this world! It made us never want to rent another property that is NOT on the beach!!! You really can't get closer to the water than this house!! We had some very strong storms and the waves got big on this calm side of the island, it was fun to ride the waves in the rain as the water was so warm! Our family has been to North Captiva 5 times in the past WE LOVE NORTH CAPTIVA, but this was the FIRST time we got to kayak over to Cayo Costa! Having the Kayaks at the house is a HUGE plus, if you need more you can put the club kayaks on a trailer and drive them to the house. Our family would suggest that if you are fortunate enough to rent this house you don't miss kayaking over to the private island! Just make sure you that if you bring a camera you put it in a waterproof bag as one of our kayaks did tip over on the ride over the second time. You have to be careful as the area in-between the 2 islands has a strong current but the water is shallow so when we tipped we were able to stand in the water. THe trip is under a half hour and less than a mile across and well worth it if you don't mind kayaking and want an adventure!! Bring some drinks and plan to walk to the point and you will find a ton of shells since the charter that brings people to Cayo Costa doesn't give people enough time to ever walk that far ( give yourself at least 4 hours ) Also the landscape is stunning due to lots of trees that died but remain in the sand. We even found a rare fish in the surf that emitted electric currents when you touched it's head, it is called a stargazer. Back to the house it has lots of places to sleep but the bedrooms are small ( gladly give up a big bedroom for one ON THE OCEAN, as is the kitchen , but we thoroughly recommend this house! Saw a manatee over by the dock for Island Girl again this trip lots of tortoises and even found a baby octopus that we saved. This is Florida that few get to see!

Always Riding
The Crank Brothers Sterling Long Pump is at the centre of any well thought out trail or touring tool kit. Using a 276mm piston to maximise the amount of air pumped in with each compression, a CNC machined body keeps the Sterling robust. An air switch can be changed for high volume (big tyres, lots of air), to high pressure (thin race tyres, high PSI) making it an essential item for everything from pannier to race-day bag.
Ready for action when that unfortunate puncture occurs, the addition of a PSI gauge makes a real difference roadside and, an accompanying bracket makes mounting to a frame easy.
