A Mid Sussex hospice will receive financial support for a year after being named charity of the year.
Sainsbury's in Haywards Heath is supporting St Peter & St James Hospice & Continuing Care Centre with funds and awareness support.
The charity was chosen on the basis of an in store and online vote with input from Sainsbury's employees.
Carolyn Robinson, donor relationship manager at the hospice, said: "We are delighted to have been chosen by the staff and customers from Sainsbury's and are looking forward to planning many exciting events over the coming year."
The shop's local charity scheme is now in its sixth year and gives customers the chance to vote for their favourite local charity to be considered to receive a year of support from their Sainsbury's store.
Sainsbury's Deputy Store Manager, Steve Hudson, said, "We've had a great response from our customers this year, both through in-store and online votes. We're delighted to have chosen a charity which touched many of our colleagues' hearts.
"We will now be working closely with the charity to ensure they really benefit from being our Local Charity for the next 12 months."
The scheme has risen more than £6 million to support local charities since 2009.
St Peter & St James Hospice prvides specialist care, and support for those living with progressive, life limiting illnesses from East and West Sussex including Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill and surrounding villages.
Last year it provided care for more than 600 patients and their families.
All services are free of charge and the hospice receives less than 14% of its funding from the Government.
This means it has to raise more than £2.6 million every year through fundraising, which is £7,200 a day.

Block Party
Jess Myers
Sterling had two goals and an assist in the trip to North
TV Schedule
East Notebook
Colorado College
is renowned for its unique academic "block plan" whereby
students take eight classes per year, but just one class at a
time. Some in the world of academia praise the CC model as a great
way for students to dive into one subject head first for three
weeks, and have more classroom success as a result.
At a school
where students are used to concentrating on just one topic or
activity at a time, it's not surprising that distractions
can cause trouble. Nowhere was that theory proven more clearly
last season than on the hockey rink, where a promising season
for a talented CC Tigers team was derailed by countless injuries,
near-tragedies and administrative deliberations that were beyond
the team's control.
Most troubling
was the car accident last November that nearly claimed the life
of Tigers assistant coach Norm Bazin, and left him hospitalized
for months.
This season,
by contrast, Tiger hockey has seemingly gotten back to its own
version of the block plan, where the lone subject is hockey, and
the Tigers seem ready to concentrate on just that one task until,
they hope, the second weekend of April. Heading into this weekend's
home-and-home series with arch-rival Denver, the Tigers are 5-1-0
and in the top five in both national polls.
Tigers coach
Scott Owens, whose team makes just two trips outside the state
of Colorado before New Years' Day admitted the strong start
has been helped by the home-heavy schedule, and success in their
lone trip thus far.
was important for us to get some early confidence," Owens
told INCH. "But you can get a false sense of confidence
by playing at home so much, which is why the North Dakota trip
was so key for us."
Last weekend,
in their first foray beyond the shadow of the Rockies, the Tigers
split a series in Grand Forks, winning on Friday via Brett Sterling's
overtime goal. The fact that Marty Sertich assisted on the game-winner
should surprise nobody who knows wherein the Tigers' offensive
strengths lie. Sterling and Sertich were expected to be the team's
leaders and indeed have combined for 24 points in the Tigers'
first six games.
Owens has
been getting solid defense and outstanding goaltending from the
sizable tandem of Matt Zaba and Curtis McElhinney, and says that
the offensive blessings his two best forwards have delivered might
be his only area of concern thus far.
kind of been the Sterling and Sertich show thus far, so I think
we've still got to get a little more offensive diversity,"
Owens said. "But Norm Bazin is even back as a volunteer
coach, so we're fully staffed and able to just concentrate
on hockey. It's been great."
It sounds
like the hockey version of the Colorado College block plan has
another believer.
Likes the Taj Ma Ralph – Last year the college
edition of Sports Illustrated called Madison the best
college town in the nation. This year the writers decided to plot
out the perfect college sports week and gave a shout-out to two
WCHA sights.
to SI, the perfect sports week in America is supposed to include
a stop at the Kollege Klub in Madison on Thursday, and a trip
to Ralph Engelstad Arena in Grand Forks on a Friday.
fans will likely not be surprised at the mention of the KK (located
between Lake Mendota and State Street on the corner of Lake and
Langdon), which has been serving hockey fans deep fried cheese
and vodka lemonade for a generation or more. The magazine even
mentions former Badger defenseman Chris Chelios among the red-clad
celebs that can still be seen hanging out at the KK from time
to time.
Those sensitive
Sioux fans will likely find something to like and something to
gripe about in the SI mention of the Ralph, which was also featured
in a recent New York Times. While praising the $100 million
rink as home to the best college hockey experience in the nation,
the writer describes Grand Forks as "Middle of Nowhere,
U.S.A." Ouch.
You're There
For one of the more interesting pub crowds you're
ever going to see, stop by SouthSide Johnny's (at
528 South Tejon Street) in Colorado Springs after Friday's
game. Outside you'll see a line of Harley's
and inside you'll find live music and great food being
enjoyed by a non-threatening throng that mixes the biker
bar, dance bar and fern bar set without incident. The classic
rock band GuyzUnGlasses is playing all weekend, and the
club's all-inclusive web
site features menus for food, kids, beer, wine, martinis,
and cigars. What more could anyone want?
the first weekend of November, no team was more desperate
for some good news than Minnesota State, Mankato, and Mavs
goalies Jon Volp and Chris Clark delivered. Each
goalie backstopped a 4-0 shutout of Bemidji State (Volp
on Friday and Clark on Saturday) giving the Mavs their first
two wins of the season and their first back-to-back shutouts
since the 1995-96 season. While they're still looking
for their first WCHA win, the goalies have given the Mavs
a nice boost of confidence.
North may have been wise to run one of those "DO NOT
ADJUST YOUR SET" warnings across the screen last Friday
when viewers first caught sight of the broadcast team of
Frank Mazzocco, Doug Woog and Tom Sagissor prior to the
Minnesota-Wisconsin game. While Mazzocco and Woog were nattily
(and quietly) attired, Sagissor, the proud Wisconsin alum,
went on-air wearing a eye-poppingly bright red sport
coat that had viewers grabbing for sunglasses.
The fun-loving Sagissor joked that he's gotten the
blazer from an usher at the Dane County Coliseum. From the
guy who did a pregame show shirtless with a red W painted
on his chest last year, the red blazer was actually a step
forward, fashion-wise.
The results of the recent U.S. Senate race in Colorado have the
Colorado College alumni association beaming.
On November 2, Democrat Ken Salazar (CC '77) defeated Republican
brewery baron Pete Coors and will become the first CC graduate
to serve in the U.S. Senate. Salazar, who is also a Colorado College
trustee, served two terms as the state's attorney general.
He majored in political science at CC, then got his law degree
at Michigan, prompting one to wonder who Salazar rooted for in
the 1996 NCAA title game. While some credit the Tiger hockey team's
statewide popularity for Salazar's close win, others feel
it was a backlash against the Coors brewery, which was responsible
for inventing Zima.
• Speaking
of politics, Kevin Pates of the Duluth News-Tribune emailed
this week to point out the increasing political clout being wielded
by WCHA officials in Minnesota. Voters in International Falls,
Minn., recently elected Shawn Mason as the community's new mayor.
Mason, who had previously served on the city council there, is
the wife of WCHA referee and former UMD Bulldog Bill Mason.
• Interesting
sports parallels this weekend involving teams from Minnesota that
wear purple. On Friday and Saturday, Minnesota State,
Mankato (which wears purple and gold) faces official
arch-rival Alaska Anchorage (which wears green
and gold) and the all-time series between the teams stands even
at 16-16-3. On Sunday, the Minnesota Vikings (who wear purple
and gold) face their arch-rivals, the Green Bay Packers (who wear
green and gold) and the all-time series between the teams stands
even at 42-42-1. Something, one would think, has got to give.
• Speaking
of team colors, Minnesota Duluth fans won't
be decorating in green and gold anytime soon. The Bulldogs were
undefeated and ranked #1 in the nation two weeks ago, before going
0-3-1 in back-to-back weekends versus teams that wear green and
gold (Vermont and Alaska Anchorage). UMD may
catch a break in that their schedule only features two more games
versus green and gold teams (a home series with UAA in January)
but if the Bulldogs get to the NCAAs and have to face Northern
Michigan, there could be trouble brewing.
• If
Michigan Tech fans felt like they should be riding
the People Mover over to the RenCen after last week's game
with Northern Michigan in Houghton, it was thanks to familiar
voice they'd been hearing all night. Ken Kal, the radio
play-by-play man for the Detroit Red Wings, replaced regular MacInnes
Student Ice Arena public address man Mitch Lake behind the microphone
and got to announce a dozen goals in the 6-6 tie. Kal, who called
University of Michigan hockey games for 11 years prior to switching
to the NHL, was in Houghton as part of a tour to promote the Great
Lakes Invitational and other college hockey games being played
at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit this season.
• Our
thoughts go out to former Golden Gopher Darby
Hendrickson, who is back in Minnesota after tragedy brought an
abrupt end to his hockey stint in Europe. While playing in Belarus
last week, Hendrickson was alongside former Minnesota Wild teammate
and friend Sergei Zholtok when Zholtok collapsed and died of apparent
heart failure after a game. Zholtok was 31, and had struggled
with fainting spells last season with the Wild before being traded
to Nashville late in the season. Hendrickson (who was traded to
Colorado around the same time) and Zholtok were playing together
for HC Riga 2000 while waiting out the NHL lockout.
• St.
Cloud State fans must wonder if the good times can continue
this weekend when the Huskies host Michigan Tech.

Troubadour Presents:
Dan Croll
Hi Ho Silver Oh
9081 Santa Monica Blvd
Los Angeles, CA, 90069
This event is all ages
Dan Croll is a British singer-songwriter born in Newcastle-Under-Lyme, Staffordshire. He moved to Liverpool when he was 18 to attend the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA). While at LIPA, he won the national Songwriter of the Year award from the Musicians Benevolent Fund and was one of eight students picked to have a one-to-one with LIPA founder Sir Paul Mccartney. Dan is currently signed to Turn First Records.
"He's the electro boy with one foot in the world of folk, the troubadour who can handle himself quite nicely, thank you, with computers, and the indie kid who shares management with some Very Successful Artists Indeed, including Ellie Goulding, Rita Ora and Conor Maynard....Wanna Know (about an over-controlling lover) and Compliment Your Soul (about a relationship gone sour) are more eclectic, betraying a love of falsetto funk and idiosyncratic African rhythms: think Paul Simon jamming with Prince. Very nice." --Guardian UK
HI HO SILVER OH heads out in January in promotion of their second full-length album, Big Rocks. The band, made up of songwriter/vocalist/guitarist Casey Trela and rhythm section Jon Mackey and Kevin Manwarren, has fleshed out the bedroom acoustics of earlier recordings and honed their sound with a propulsive ruggedness. Over the course of Big Rocks, the band ebbs and flows with an uncanny fluidity from the caterwauling feedback of "High Tide I," to the shimmering pop of "Trees." From the anthemic bombast of "My Confessor" and sparkly gore of "Showers Without Warning" to the harrowing intimacy of "Belly Line."
Casey Trela's lyrics have never been so potent as they are on Big Rocks. Like a candid conversation with an old friend, Trela's words occupy an eerie space that manages to be both extremely personal and unexpectedly cosmic in the same breath. Even at the album's most mournful and introspective moments, the songs glimmer with a comforting playfulness, always anchored by the sheer power Trela wields as a vocal performer.
"Hi Ho Silver Oh is incredible live— I always leave their shows feeling empowered and full of love and hope. Frontman Casey Trela is mild-mannered and kind. Maybe in a previous life he was a folk singer, but in this life he can shred. His voice is haunting, and cracking with emotion at every lyric. You can actually watch him enjoy every single moment on stage through his half smile."

Right! I NEED TO VENT!!!
I am Sooooooo p*ssed off!!!!!!
One of my horses decided to kick through a fence this afternoon at another horse & has basically de-gloved her back leg!!!! It happened right infront of my eyes & I could not believe it! You spend thousands putting safe fencing in & the silly cow STILL manages to injure herself!!!!
So, I had to catch her, clean the wound....LIFT the flap of skin back up & bandage it in place! She had a good 5 inch by 3 inch flap of skin cut down to the bone....NOT GOOD!!!!!!
Whilst I was bandaging...she decided to half kick out, to get away from the bandage & she Kicked me in the face! Luckily she wasn't being nasty....and it was only pretty soft. But enough to knock me on my butt. She damn near broke my nose though! And I got congealed blood all over my face & glasses. Not fun!
She's had an anti-biotic needle, pain relief powder & is locked up now...Vet coming tomorrow.
I am sooooo cranky! Silly mare. Why can't she keep her feet to herself, instead od being Ms. Kicky-pants?
Grrr!!! She'll be fine thankfully...but we have to be careful how much pain releif we give her, because she's pregnant.
End Rant.

Music of the Month (So Far) – June '14
Listen to a mix of the best songs this month... so far.
With the sun high in the sky and the summer starting to blaze, it's the middle of the month and time for us to share our musical picks, so far. You know… to keep you cool.
Birmingham native KD put out the banger "On Ma," while The Bug got dark and glitchy with the "anti-industry" Death Grips. Bay Area production duo FRIENDZONE looped some chopped vocals, keys, and drums together for a calming and exciting result. Caribou begins a glorious return with the delightful "Can't Do Without You," which we clearly can't do without.
SBTRKT shared "Temporary View," once again featuring his talismanic vocalist Sampha; we plan on bumping it much more than temporarily. Ab-Soul makes another appearance on our list with the help of ScHoolboy Q. His upcoming album These Days is bound to be a monster. The mysterious Quay is still making our minds swirl with his "Physisicks" cut; you don't have to listen to this one over voicemail.
Sasquatch took his own twist to Jay Electonica's serene "Better In Tune With The Infinite," making his own creative edit that simultaneously makes us want to dance and meditate. SLAVVE incorporates elements of punk, post-punk, screamo, and hardcore for the energetic "Out Of Mind." Dev Hynes got sexy again as Blood Orange with "April's Bathroom Bummer," part of his original score to Palo Alto.
Canadian band Beliefs covered Duran Duran's 1981 track "Sound Of Thunder" to benefit Amnesty International, while Brooklyn's Shark? (yes, the question mark is intentional) provides the soundtrack for your "Big Summer." Brooklyn's One Tusk production team samples Blondie and Trey Songz on the mesmerizing wind down vibe "Let Your Hair Down (Remix)." Let the beat wash over you. Drake came through again, of course, with his banger "0 to 100/The Catch Up," which samples James Blake and Frank Duke.
This week's special guest contributor is Will Griggs, the founder of Cantora. Though best known as a record label, Cantora invests in and develops entertainment-focused starts ups and live events properties. They most recently released the Bear Hands album Distraction, featuring the incredible single "Giants." His pick for this month is How To Dress Well's "Face Again."

i just bought m48 yugo mauser unissued and after shooting at the range i was cleaning the bolt. well i took the bolt out and some how twisted the back side of the bolt now the bolt wont go back in, would not turn, and firing pin protruding out of the front of the bolt. i tried all combinations to turn the rear of the bolt but unsuccessful. could anyone help please.

They've got a full manual with disassembly instructions in PDF format. That might help.
I also remember this being discussed in some detail. Try a search on "mauser bolt assembly" or something like that. Best of luck.

Ah... You tried to take the bolt apart (or somehow unscrewed it unknowingly) with the safety in the fire position. Or maybe you took the safety off when the bolt was out of the rifle and disassembled. I've done this before to my M70 Pre-'64 Winchester, which is very similar to your Mauser. I've disassembled my friend's Yugoslavian M48 before and it was similar enough to my M70 that I think I can help you.
Don't move the safety when bolt is out of the gun unless you know what you're doing.
There are 3 positions to the safety: a fire position, a middle safe position, and a far-right (I think it's right not left) safety position. The far-right position locks the firing pin back, but does not allow the bolt to open. The middle safe position locks the firing pin back, but it allows the bolt to open. The fire position lets the firing pin rest on the bolt cam (I just made that name up) when the bolt is open or the trigger catch (another made up name) when the bolt is closed.
When taking out the bolt it is a good idea to put the safety in the middle safe position. That way you can open and remove the bolt and keep the firing pin locked back and secured by the safety mechanism. This allows you to unscrew the back of the bolt and remove the firing pin. The safety mechanism is the only thing keeping the firing-pin-spring compressed at this point so don't mess with the safety or you will be in the position you are in now.
Now, about how to get your gun back together: The firing-pin-spring is decompressed and the bolt is out of the rifle. If the bolt were in the rifle, all you would have to do to recompress the spring would be to rotate the bolt up. When the bolt is in the action of the gun, this is very easy because the action is made of steel and has a good grip on the bolt. When the bolt is out of the gun, your soft hands must try to do the same thing. Depending on how new and strong your spring is, this may be a challenge, but on an old surplus rifle I hoping it will be a piece of cake. Now before you go twisting on it, look for a little spring-loaded catch on the firing pin assembly (the back part of the bolt) near the interface between the firing pin assembly and the front part of the bolt. You will not be able to twist the back part of the bolt all of the way without pushing this catch in and letting it snap into a recess in the front part of the bolt.
So go ahead and try and turn the back part of the bolt about 90 degrees. Turn it in the same direction you would if the back of the bolt were a screw and the front of the bolt were a nut. If you look near the trigger catch on the back part of the bolt, you should see a sloped cut. This cut is the cam that cocks the firing pin and compresses the firing pin spring as the bolt is turned. As you turn the back of the bolt, you must push against the can and compress the firing pin spring. When you turn the back of the bolt, try not to get leverage by gripping the safety lever. I don't know how much force the safety mechanism will take.
Turn the back of the bolt until it rests in the little notch at the top of the cam. Remember to compress the little spring-loaded catch or you won't be able to turn the back of the bolt to this point.
Insert the bolt back into the gun.
That should fix it.
I wrote this while looking at the bolt of my M70 Winchester and trying to remember the differences on the M48, so if anyone sees any errors, please correct me.

Been there with my Yugo M48!!!! If I remember correctly, all I did was brace the back portion of the bolt (can't remember if I used the safety lever) on the counter edge and pulled down on the bolt to cock it. Either that or I pushed the pin back in by placing the bolt on a soft piece of wood. Then the bolt slid into the receiver ever so nicely. Try that. I couldn't twist the bolt. Like Q-Man said, its kinda hard to get a grip! How does your Yugo shoot? I love mine!!!! Oh yeah...in the future, ensure the safety is "straight up" prior to removing the bolt and cleaning it. Saves a lot of frustration

No big deal. I've done this twice myself.
I doubt you'll be able to do it by hand alone since the firing pin spring should be pretty strong on your M48.
Also, I wouldn't grab the safety lever itself - it's not part of the assembly that you have to twist - but otherwise, do as Q-Man says:
1. Grab the bolt in your left hand (if you're a righty) with the firing pin poking out to the left (outside).
2. Grab onto the back of the bolt (the firing pin assembly, that is) with an appropriate-sized pair of pliers. You'll see that it is in its forward (fired) position, and it needs to be cocked by pulling back and clockwise.
There is a small rectangular projection on the back side of the bolt to grab. It's about 1/8" wide.
3. Pull the two ends apart *hard* and then twist clockwise, like screwing in a screw. Once you pull it out of the "fired" position, the firing pin assembly should twist a quarter turn clockwise, cocking the firing pin. When cocked, it will end up about 1/2" "backwards" and a quarter turn clockwise.
5. Reinsert the bolt.
6. Next time no fiddling with it.
Happy Mausering!
Semper fi.
Bruegger out.

I am grateful to everyone. Thank you Thank you. I will not!! do this mistake again. I love the mauser. this is my first time i tried. i shot free hand at 50 yds, as the spaces were taken for 100 yds. i just wanted to try it out. good accuracy, good handling. however, i had little tough time extracting the cartridge but i may chalk it off to rifle being new and needs breaking.
I followed everone's advice, i could not do it by hands, so i used pliers it worked instantly.
when i was trying it by hands, my wife i would i pass out.
thank you all very much.

Morrison, Oral Roberts top South Dakota St. 97-75
TULSA, Okla. (AP) Dominique Morrison's career-high 38 points led Oral Roberts to a 97-75 victory over South Dakota State on Saturday night and into sole possession of first place in the Summit League.
Morrison eclipsed his previous high of 35 by hitting 11 baskets, including five 3-pointers, and all 11 free throws as the Golden Eagles (14-4, 6-0) extended their winning streak to seven. He scored 21 points in the first half.
Steven Roundtree scored 17 points and Warren Niles and Michael Craion 15 each for Oral Roberts.
Nate Wolters' 22 points led the Jackrabbits (13-5, 5-1), whose four-game winning streak ended. Tony Fiegen added 11, and Griffan Callahan, Jordan Dykstra and Chad White had 10 apiece.
The Jackrabbits shot 56 percent (30 of 54) but were outdone by Oral Roberts' 61 percent (37 of 61). The Golden Eagles also held a 31-21 edge on the boards and committed just six turnovers.

Legal Question in Personal Injury in Missouri
I have fired my personal injury attorney. I have requested three times now for my final bill to pay him out-right to have lien removed, and a copy of all my files. He has not responded to any of my certified letters, phone calls or emails. Doesn't he have a time-frame as to how long it should take for him to resolve this matter?
1 Answer from Attorneys
The file belongs to you, Your attorney or ex attorney should give it to you upon demand. As far as the final bill, there is nto set time. If they already filed suit, they may be ahving trouble getting the Court to allow them to withdraw, therefore, you bill may be increasing. If you hoire new counsel, it may speed up the process, as the court may allow a substitutioj of counsel. If the previous counsel had the case on a contingent fee basis, the amount of theri fees may not be known until there is a judgment or settlement. If you cannot get this resolved soon, the Missouri Bar has afee dispute process. Contact them, and they may be able to assist you.
Good luck

Producer, yep.
Sarkic's name was not on the list as of Sep 3 because we have a post in this thread
that shows the list as follows:
Simon Crane .... associate producer (Also listed as 2nd Unit Director on this film. He's also was Jolie's stunt coordinator for LC1&2, Salt, Tourist and is currently stunt coord for WWZ)

So when did Sarkic get added?

Tim the "Cabana Boy" recently revealed his high school yearbook photo to the K-EARTH 101 Morning Show rocking a style that may have caused some "achy breaky hearts" back in the day, but is now a definite "hair don't." Check out Tim's Mullet!!!!
It's the style that says I'm all business in the front, but it's a party in the back! Tim the "Cabana Boy" wore the mullet proud in the class of '91, and joins the ranks of celebs like [lastfm]Billy Ray Cyrus[/lastfm], [lastfm]David Bowie[/lastfm], Stephan Segal, Macgyver and the Saved By The Bell actor himself — Mario Lopez — who all fell prey to the full-bodied clutches of the mullet.
So now that you've gotten a closer look at Tim's "Mullet" who wore it better between Tim the "Cabana Boy", Mario Lopez and David Schwimmer?

Variable array with data from MySQL
I'm an hobby-programmer in PHP and MySQL that has run into a problem.
I've been reading about variable variables in PHP, but can't get it to work for the specific case I need it to. Here's the set-up:
I have a table named participants. The participants have one line each, but are mostly paired up in couples. This is done by a column named id - so two lines have the same value (1, 2, 3...) in the id-column.
I then query the database (aocuserlogin is a cookie set by a simple loginscript)
$qloadarray = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM participants WHERE (id='$aocuserlogin')");
while ($rloadarray = mysql_fetch_array($qloadarray, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
$loadedarray = array($rloadarray[firstcolumn],$rloadarray[secondcolumn],$rloadarray[thirdcolumn]);
Since the while-loop is going to run twice I want to set the variable for the array to a name from the specific row that is running.
I mean I want the variable to be named as the value in the fourth column of the active row - does that make sense?
I have been trying something like
$$rloadarray[fourthcolumn] = array(...
but this doesn't work.
I've also tried
${$rloadarray[fourthcolumn]} = array(...
Which doesn't work either...
Does someone have an idea?
Please ask if you need additional information - it's hard to explain...
Thanks a million!!!

Dear Heloise: I wish that someone had reminded me of this.
If you have a relative living out of the country, be sure to have an UP-TO-DATE PASSPORT in case you need to travel in an emergency. -- Ed, Baltimore
Boy, you're right. This is an important reminder for anyone who has relatives who live outside the United States. Take a few minutes now to see if your passport is ready to go. -- Heloise

Dear Heloise: More ideas for using those beautifully decorated tall popcorn tins:
Store handwork or other small projects inside.
Store extra bags of flour and sugar for your holiday baking.
Make one into a treasure chest for kids' toys.
Place it by your favorite chair to hold drinks and snacks (an instant table).
* * *
Dear Heloise: After reading your article on donating old magazines to offices and waiting rooms, I was reminded of an incident that happened to my daughter.
She lives in a large Midwestern metropolitan area. One night, she answered a knock on her door and was greeted with a summons. She was being ARRESTED FOR LITTERING. The city was cracking down on littering and was out to make an example of a few errant citizens.
The cause was an expired license with her name on it that had been found on the street. She appeared in court and told the judge that the card had fallen out of a secured trash bag and was actually found many blocks away from her home. The judge threw out the case.
The moral of the story? Don't ever, ever throw anything out with your name on it. This goes for magazines as well. -- An Indiana Reader.
Also, in this day and age there are identity thieves who could glean a wealth of information from your trash. Tear up or shred anything and everything with any identifying information it, especially bills, credit-card receipts and even medical information. -- Heloise

Product Description
The erotic romance everyone's talking about. Romantic, liberating and totally addictive, this novel will possess you, and stay with you forever.
As literature student Anastasia Steele interviews successful young entrepreneur Christian Grey for the student newspaper, she finds him attractive, enigmatic and intimidating. Convinced their meeting went badly, she tries to put Grey out of her mind - until he happens to turn up at the store where she works part-time.
Ana, innocent and unworldly, is shocked to find herself desperate to get close to him. Unable to resist Ana's quiet beauty, wit, and independent spirit, Grey admits he wants her, too - but on his own terms.
Shocked yet thrilled by Grey's erotic tastes, Ana hesitates. For all the trappings of success - his multinational businesses, his vast wealth, his loving family - Grey is a man tormented by demons and consumed by the need to control. When the couple embarks on a daring, passionately physical affair, Ana discovers Christian Grey's secrets and explores her own dark desires.
The first instalment in the Fifty Shades trilogy by E L James, 50 Shades of Grey is erotic, romantic and totally addictive. The Fifty Shades Trilogy (Part II: Fifty Shades Darker and Part III: Fifty Shades Freed) is a tale of BDSM romance that will obsess you, possess you, and stay with you forever.

Wondering what people like about it
Reviewed: 13 July 2012 by Laveila, a Straight Single Female
I wanted to buy and read the book since I saw all those reviews about how good it is. The first impression was very pleasant. I could imagine taking this with me outside, without too many people suspecting by the cover what the book is about - especially as I don't live in English speaking country. Unfortunately, it basically ended up with the cover, maybe apart from some sex scenes. At least for me, to be very honest about it.
The disappointment, and I would even call it annoyance, was getting worse as I read the book. It took me a month to read it all. And at some points I actually much preferred books for university. I believe this says a lot. There are few main reasons, so let me summarize them:
1 the characters:
I did find them rather unrealistic. I am someone who does not have really high confidence about myself, but I am bit wondering how someone like Ana would survive in today world. She does not seem to have any confidence at all. And I did find her constant clumsiness bit annoying too.
I don't have anything against her being inexperienced at her age. I also waited longer than most until fully exploring relationships and sex, but I have to admit that the way the character is set up makes me really dislike her. Inner goddess? What is that? I really find that incredibly annoying. I do understand the dilemma of the character as she explores the BDSM and sex in general, as I remember my shock the first time I was spanked and found out how my body reacted and my mind was in turmoil. Yet, for some reason I find Ana in the same situation bit annoying. I am wondering if it is the writing style of the author and maybe the personification of the inner goddess.
Christian Grey on the other hand does seem to be bit unbalanced to me too. I cannot say he is more realistic, or maybe he is, but there are several flaws to the character. I cannot say I like him that much. To certain extend he is rather over controlling, it is even possible to say bit abusing. I have a bit of feeling from him, that he likes to control to possibly get over something which happened in his past and while I understand that the submissive is obligated to obey the Dom, if the submissive is not happy about something, then the Dom should not go there - and that should include pricey gifts and a bit of stalking. And constant control is rather off putting for me.
Another thing which I find personally disturbing is, that Christian seem so be very insecure about himself, or rather disturb by his past. I do recognise that no one will ever be 100% sure about themselves and that everyone will have some skeletons in the closet. But I believe that the insecureness is actually deeply affecting his positions towards his submissive and relationships as a whole. I am not sure I would actually dare to enter a relationship with him And I do not like the hinted correlation of Christian being interested in BDSM because of his past. I do not think that this is the regular reason why people are interested, it is more about your own nature. And as switch I personally find it that it does take some courage to submit to someone as well as being the Dom. I am not saying that he is not responsible, the safety insurances are there, but I would rather worry a bit about my mental health with his desire to control.
2 the plot:
To be completely honest, I do find the plot rather unrealistic, even if I compare it to previous fictions I read in the past. A rich guy meets a girl who does not even have her own laptop and is in close friendship with a girl, whose family is well off. All right. It can happen, but there are some issues with this. E. g. her buying flight tickets in basically last minute. Although this can depend on how lucky you are, these generally tend to be more expensive. So I am not sure as what to think of Ana. And how she is set.
And although he would never enter a relationship, he decides to make this an exception, as he cares for Ana too deep. Very fast. And even introduces her to his family. This makes the book more of a romance story, which is not something I am that much interested in. So I did find the story line a bit boring. I would rather cut the book bit shorter, although it would be easier to rewrite it.
3 sex scenes:
So Ana is a virgin. Yet she has an orgasm almost every single time, unless she is not allowed to – one case and she also manages to orgasm before Christian does, generally through penetrative sex. I understand that this is a fiction, but I do find it a lot unrealistic. I much prefer books when the woman orgasms through clitoral stimulation and sometimes e. g. vaginal sex or other methods. I personally find these far more realistic. And more enjoyable for me.
Having said this, I do find some of the sex scenes arousing. I certainly did enjoy the spanking or the being under the man´s power. Or even being used by him and not allowed to orgasm. This is something I do enjoy, but I cannot say that these positive things change my mind as a whole about the rest of the book.
If you are into harder bondage, then this book is not for you. I am not, so I found the scenes decent for me, but I can see that people who are more into harder bondage will find it rather boring.
4 writing:
I personally don't find the book that well written and my previous comments already show why, so I will very briefly summarize the reasons here. I actually find that the book is relatively poor written. The characters are rather unrealistic, the plot is at times a bit annoying, as I already mentioned. Moreover I personally find that the sex scenes could also be handled a bit differently.
And I do believe that this book could have been shorter. The length is really annoying, especially with lot of repetitive scenes. And to think that this is just the first part of a trilogy...
Unfortunately, I cannot say I enjoyed the book. I read it whole, but it took me like about month to finish. I personally did not enjoy the characters, did not enjoy the plot and I found it rather poorly written. And although I was aroused by some aspects of the sex scenes, I still find them bit annoying and unrealistic, as Ana basically orgasms every single time and also vaginally, soon after she had sex for the first time. Call me jealous, if you wish, but how many women are this lucky?
Would I recommend it to other people? No, I don't think so. But I would not put off people who really want to read it. There are people out there who do love it. And this review is my personal perspective.
There is more I could say about the book, but this review is already long enough.
- Pros
- The cover, some of the sex scenes.
- Cons
- The writing style, the plot, the characters, the inner goddess...
- Bottom line
- Was not worth the money or my time. I would personally not recommend it.

For the advanced course next month, we will make some other forms of sushi as well on how to present them in a typical Japanese fashion.
Participants only pay a small fee for the class (see it as a donation to THS). You don't have to pay for the ingredients. But you have to order a menu to be able to actively participate in the workshop. This means that whoever wants to eat it, has to pay for it. Additionally, hungry bystanders that happen to be in the space can have some sushi. ;-)
We can make a set menu. Who wants to try some Japanese beer?
Example of what we can do: Maki Menu
- 6 pcs Maki salmon
- 6 pcs Maki surimi
- 6 pcs Maki cucumber
€14 (9€ for paying workshop participants)
Wasabi and soy sauce included
People interested in the course[edit]
max. 10 people (free but 5 euro donation requested for TokyoHackerSpace) Deadline is Thursday 10 Dec by 23:59.
- Wouter
- Hans
- Zitzie
- ace
- Tazo
- ...
Requirements for the course[edit]
Please bring your own wooden block and kitchen knife to cut the vegetables
Participants who want to actively participate in the course have to order a menu to cover the costs of the ingredients. Unless they only want to observe others ;-) Deadline is Thursday 10 Dec by 23:59.
- Wouter
- Hans
- Zitzie
- ace
- Tazo
- ...
People interested a Japanese beer (Kirin) (2 euro)[edit]
- ptr_ (1 bottle)
- Xflame (1 bottle)
- ...
I can also bring a small bottle of sake (at shop price) for those who want but I have no idea what the price is by heart. Send me an email or drop a message on the mailinglist if you want some.
the good cause[edit]
Profit will go to a good cause to support the TokyoHackerspace (東京ハッカースペース) who has a financial deficit. Note in order to make the sushi menu, we will work with online orders so we know how much ingredients to buy. Deadline is Thursday 10 Dec by 23:59.

Things Have Never Been Worse for Israel
Ignoring the Tsunami
The superpower under whose patronage we shelter is becoming increasingly weak and increasingly distant, and the Middle East is becoming unstable.
By Ari Shavit
June 24, 2010 "Haaretz" -- Things have never been better: The number of millionaires in the country soared by 43 percent between 2008 and 2009, with 2,519 new ones joining the 5,900 we already had, for a total of 8,419 Israeli millionaires. Their total net assets rose by about 41 percent, from $30.1 billion at the end of 2008 to $42.4 billion at the end of 2009. No wonder it's impossible to find a luxury apartment to buy or to reserve a table at a top restaurant in Tel Aviv, or that tickets for "Nabucco" were so hard to get. Never was so much owned by so few Israelis. Never has life been so good here for so wealthy an elite, as the country is poised at the brink of the abyss.
Things have never been worse. The superpower under whose patronage we shelter is becoming increasingly weak and increasingly distant. As a result of these two mutually amplifying processes the Middle East is becoming unstable. There is no one to stop Iran's rise or Turkey's growing extremism, or to provide security for the moderates in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Palestine. The states to the east fear the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq, while those to the north are building up their forces in anticipation of a nuclear Iran. And a firestorm of hatred for Israel raging throughout the world. Israel's legitimacy as well as its deterrence are eroding. It's no wonder that the national security adviser is nostalgic for the first term of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, or that the army chief of staff pines for the days when Ehud Barak was chief of staff. The geostrategic situation is grave. And we are partying on the beach while ignoring the tsunami already visible on the horizon.
Never has the gap between our economic and international situations, or between the state of our consciousness and our security situation, been greater. Not even in the days leading up to the Yom Kippur War were we in such a deep state of denial. Everything's great: Inside Israel the economy is booming, there is general jubilation - la dolce vita at its sweetest. But all around, the siege is tightening. No reasonable remedy is in sight for the twin threats of missiles and of a nuclear Iran, nor does an end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict appear imminent.
While 8,419 millionaires increase their own capital using Israel's uniquely excellent human capital, millions of Arabs and Muslims wondering whether the Jewish state will last. They see a declining West that turns its back to Israel and a rising East that challenges Israel. They see an Israel that repeatedly demonstrates shortsightedness. Many of our neighbors are starting to have secret, dangerous thoughts.
Israel is not weak. If any of its neighbors makes a mistake, it will receive a knockout punch. But if there is a government in Jerusalem it must make every effort to stop the decline, to revive the peace with Egypt and with Jordan, to leave no stone unturned on the Syrian track, to expedite the territorial division, to create a common forum for cooperation with the United States and with the moderate Arab states, and to create a stabilizing process to counterbalance the destabilizing process that threatens the Middle East. The government understands everything but does nothing. Its inaction constitutes negligence, as does Kadima's unwillingness to let the government change its shape and its course. Netanyahu's foot-dragging on the one hand and Tzipi Livni's pettiness on the other perpetuate a catastrophic paralysis.
The Israeli public will not take to the streets. It is exhausted and confused and despairing. But the economic elite, the 8,419 Israelis who became so much richer last year, can bring about change. If they were to use their wealth and influence to demand that Netanyahu, Barak and Livni join hands, they would very likely succeed. It's time for those who have benefited greatly from living here to accept responsibility. Given the gravity of Israel's situation, wealth is not only privilege, but also obligation.

The Mom & Pop Store: How the Unsung Heroes of the American Economy Are Surviving and Thriving
Spector (Category Killers ) offers a love letter to American small-business people, in particular his beloved, hardworking father, a neighborhood butcher. A tribute to local merchants, depicted as independent, passionate and persistent and the guardians of our most basic and enduring commercial bond, the book presents a broad, intriguing history of the 90% of all modern-day U.S. businesses, which are family-owned or controlled, and their neighborhood-defining, community-building, ethics-based contribution to the American way of life. Spector touches on such examples of small-business successes as Rob Kaufelt of Murray's Cheese in New York's Greenwich Village, but his book truly sings when the author recounts his childhood spent in his family's butcher shop and the practical wisdom he gleaned at his father's knee. Cheerful and charming, this is a heartfelt look at life on "the other side of the counter." (Sept.)

MTV is moving forward with a number of unscripted series, one of which is named after and inspired by the documentary that took Sundance by storm, Catfish. Not shying away from "reality" in the slightest, MTV also has three other unscripted series on the horizon.
If you're frustrated by the lack of music on MTV these days, this news isn't likely to thrill you. MTV has four new unscripted series coming up, according to Deadline.. I expect all of these to become addictive to those of us who get sucked into those weekend marathons:
Brought to us by the producers of the film Catfish, which followed a man as he pursued a woman he was seeing romantically online, this series features couples who met online and are about to meet in person for the first time. The star of the film, Nev Schulman, who knows a thing or two about how tricky the whole online-dating thing can be, will offer guidance and help throughout the situation.
Rather than showing off their custom-built closets and flat-screens, this series has celebrities returning to their hometown to show fans where they came from. The pilot episode follows Ke$ha back to her hometown of Nashville. Just as there are likely to be no shortage of celebs willing to open their doors to MTV's camera crews to display their amazing homes to their fans, something tells me there will be just as many who'd love the opportunity to show viewers where they came from.
Wait Till Next Year
This half-hour docu-series follows the football team at Lincoln Park High School. The team's been suffering a spectacular five-year losing streak (43 games in a row!). With a new coach they hope to break the streak and actually win a game. A sports reality series? This is a risky one. On one hand, documenting a comeback could make for a great show. In the other hand, if the comeback doesn't happen, this could be hard to watch. Either way, if there's a story (or stories) to tell here, they'll find it.
Wake Brothers
This one follows competitive wake boarders Philip and Bob Soven. Philip is 22 and the #1 pro wake boarder in the world, but he may lose his spot if his 19-year-old brother has anything to say about it. According to the description, the brothers' competitiveness extends beyond the water, as the two go head to head to out-do each other in other aspects of their lives.

Aviva Premiership: Richard Cockerill remains cautious over play-offs
Richard Cockerill was happy with Leicester's Premiership victory over Wasps but remained cautious about the play-offs
Last Updated: 12/04/14 6:55pm
The Tigers ran-in four tries to collect a bonus point and put pressure on second-placed Northampton, who are just two points ahead of Leicester - Saints face leaders Saracens on Sunday.
Director of rugby Cockerill said: "Job done, we will take maximum points which is pleasing but it was a bit of a non-event.
"We were okay, they were okay but it wasn't very fluid. Quins next week is a big game.
"We have got a nine-point cushion on them but we have still not qualified for the semi-finals, we are not home and dry.
"We have put a bit of pressure on Northampton but they are still in the box seat for a home semi-final. We have to keep winning and see what comes."
Wasps coach Dai Young added: "We are disappointed we did not get a losing bonus point.
"We were right in the game until the end. I thought we frustrated Leicester for large parts of the game but we let it slip away from us."

More Coverage Of Dancing With The Stars' Karina Smirnoff In Hawaii
Did you just have an "awwww" moment like I did? The pictures of Dancing With The Stars pro Karina Smirnoff in Hawaii continue and I think the above pic is the best from them all. In fact, I will go out on a limb and say I think this is one of Karina's best photos that's ever been taken of her thus far! If I was Karina, I'd be sure to get this picture as a hard copy for a memory book.
As you know from a previous posting, Karina has been in Hawaii to teach and promote her DanceFIT program, but, she's been also taking time outs to enjoy everything Hawaii and it's culture and people have to offer. Be sure to see The Daily Mail for more new, fun pics courtesy of Splash and Fly Net Pictures. You can see her on the beach and teaching some dance classes as well. Beautiful as always!
ADDING: Below is a new E News video with Karina. Thanks to Alecia for the heads up!!

NASA on the 2008 Perseid Meteor Shower "Mark your calendar: The 2008 Perseid meteor shower peaks on August 12th and it should be a good show."
Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.

The New Dallas Theater Center Will Rock Your World
Think of the departures: Richard Hamburger from the Dallas Theater Center, Jack Lane from the Dallas Museum of Art, Andrew Litton from the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, and Steve Nash from the Nasher. Last fall, Karen Stone, in perhaps the most surprising move of all, said a sudden goodbye to the Dallas Opera despite the prospect of a venue matched by few in the world.
In mid-June, Larry Allums and I were talking about what's changed in the Dallas arts scene over the past few years. As executive director of the Dallas Institute of Humanities and Culture, Allums collaborates with most of the same arts organizations that I write about, and we were both struck by the sea change in leadership. We both particularly regretted the departure in the spring of our colleague among the Dallas Institute Fellows, Dorothy Kosinski, snapped up by the Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C. Her exhibitions at the DMA had a consistent brilliance.
Whatever the reasons for these leave-takings (and we couldn't discern a common thread), all the change accompanies the ongoing phenomenon—sure to be studied by fundraisers for generations—of Bill Lively's success in eliciting more than 100 $1 million private donations for the Dallas Center for the Performing Arts. The huge Winspear Opera House now begins to overshadow the Meyerson next door, and the stark cube of Rem Koolhaas' Wyly Theatre takes shape to its south. These buildings bring with them an implicit demand to be put to frequent, profitable use. Surely someone lies awake at night thinking about climbing gas prices and the concomitant surge in wholesale prices, mulling over George Soros' pronouncements that the credit crisis is the worst since the Great Depression, and worrying that these buildings might be completed just as the economy tips into a long, slow dive. Meanwhile, the responsibility for filling the buildings is tangentially related at best to sophistication in the arts.
But, hey, let's not be dour, as it's too easy to be. If all goes well, the arrival of the Center for the Performing Arts will announce a new era artistically. Jaap van Zweden with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra and Kevin Moriarty at the Dallas Theater Center, the first harbingers of what's coming, bear no visible signs of dread, and both have generated considerable excitement well in advance of actually taking control. Since being named musical director, van Zweden has conducted the orchestra in three well-reviewed concerts (Beethoven Symphonies No. 5 and No. 6, then No. 7 and No. 8 last fall, and Verdi's Requiem in the spring).
By contrast, Moriarty's work remains unseen in Dallas, and the 2008–2009 lineup in April contains a few eyebrow-raisers—none bigger than The Who's Tommy, the first show he'll direct, in September. My own reaction (call it paisley-queasy) was tie-dyed (I'll stop) by my experience of the production that Uptown Players crammed into the Trinity River Arts Center on Stemmons in 2005. I wondered at the time why Uptown, the gay theater, was doing it at all. Does Tommy—does pinball?—have some kind of gay subtext? (Stranger things have happened: I was surprised to find that Carl Theodor Dreyer's great 1928 film The Passion of Joan of Arc had an enthusiastic gay following because she was such a bold cross-dresser.)
But maybe it's not the themes. A critic in Los Angeles writes that Tommy is "a great excuse for high-tech stagecraft and exuberant performances"—reason enough for Uptown. When I asked Moriarty about his choice just after the season announcement on April 14, he told me that it seemed to him the perfect choice to "to throw off the cobwebs and blow off the ceiling and play some rock 'n' roll!" His year of investigation and exploration had obviously convinced him that the DTC's image needed some strong correction.
But that wasn't his only reason for picking it. "At heart, it's a story about a young man searching for enlightenment," Moriarty says, "a young boy who's a victim of all of the evils of the 20th century—abuse, false religious leaders, family violence, drug abuse. He finds a way to transcend that. It's very compelling and surprising in every way." Classically trained, Moriarty was also taken with the sheer virtuosity of the music. "The Who's original album, the 1969 recording, is stunning," he says. "Pete Townshend's guitar playing just takes your breath away. It's mind-boggling not only because the music is very sophisticated and smart, but because it's a complicated work. You have to think about what it means and how you could put it onstage."
But one of Moriarty's other announcements on April 14—the news that the Dallas Theater Center would be choosing nine artistic associates from the local theater community—was even more surprising than the choice of Tommy. This move represents an investment in local talent not seen since the days of Paul Baker, the DTC's founder. The first person named just two weeks later was Lee Trull, whom Moriarty had seen in two plays at the DTC and in Conor McPherson's Rum and Vodka in WaterTower's Out of the Loop Festival in March.
The others chosen will be part of the DTC company, not employees, but Trull was actually hired. To put that fact in context, Trull tells me, you have to realize that he'd been supporting himself teaching classes, doing some documentary writing, painting houses on occasion, and even working as a security guard. Once, he got hired on at Best Buy so he could get discounts on Christmas presents for his parents. Now, by contrast, "I suddenly have a job in theater!" he says with trademark astonishment.
Trull has an office at the DTC, but he's also—at Moriarty's insistence—still a member of the company at Kitchen Dog Theater. When I talked to him, he was performing in Sick, the mainstage production in the New Works Festival, and looking forward to a stage reading of his play Tall Thin Walls of Regret, set in Dallas at the end of the Cold War. It's difficult not to feel that things are stirring, rippling out from what's coming with Moriarty and the Wyly Theatre. A year or so ago, I heard from a local artistic director that the Dallas Theater Center had the rights to such plays as Martin McDonagh's The Pillowman and that it could effectively prevent others from doing the play even if the DTC never produced it. Now, presto, Kitchen Dog—a coincidence?—opens with The Pillowman in September, and WaterTower presents the area premiere of John Patrick Shanley's Doubt in October.
Meanwhile, other major shifts have been taking place in the rest of the theater community, as though a general shaking-up were in progress. A breakup at Risk Theater back in the winter (Tom Parr IV and Ginger Goldman left suddenly) led to the cancellation of the last few plays of the announced season and the substitution, recounted with some hilarity by the theater's founder, Marianne Galloway, of a children's play called Pinkalicious—this instead of Ionesco's Rhinoceros, mind you. "I know. Everyone thinks I'm nuts," Galloway says. "But I'm actually quite excited to be working on something in which no one dies. It's quite refreshing!" It was also a huge success, already extended by a week as we went to press.
In early May, playwright Tom Sime announced that he was leaving his position as managing director of Contemporary Theatre of Dallas to try his luck with his plays in New York. Taking Sime's place will be Russell Dyer, the lighting wizard who has been running the Festival of Independent Theatres for the past few years. When I saw Dyer at CTD's production of The Oldest Living Graduate in May, he said that he'd had to put off taking the reigns at CTD until after FIT ends this month.
There's a realignment of talent underway, a sense that Dallas theater has now actually been seen by someone in a position to affect it for years to come. The question now is this: how's Tommy going to go over? I suspect a few people have the lyrics memorized already—especially the line "Right behind you I see the millions."
No pressure.

Hey gang! I don't know why I never brought this up before but if you are a taxidermist, you NEED to be a scorer for the Records of Exotics. They've been keeping scores of exotic game (those game animals not indigenous to the US) since 1976 and are widely accepted.
I manage their website (and yes, it needs updating!) but you can go there and download a scorer's application to mail in for your scorer's certificate and you can also download the entire scoring manual.
I'm still working on getting all the scoresheets on-line so you can just download what you need. There's no class to attend (how hard is it to read a manual and use a tape measure?) and it doesn't cost you a thing!
Best of all, for every mount you score that the customer enters into the ROE book, you get paid $5.00. ROE will welcome you as a scorer to help them out, plus you can put a little $ in your pocket!

All quotes by Mark Brunell
(148 quotes found)
"It was good to be out there again. Actually I told my wife the same thing: 'It'll be fun to go out in a stadium on a field competing.' Even though it was just a scrimmage."
"It was a little crazy out there tonight. We need to be more sharp. It was a little sloppy, but we will correct it."
"If you play long enough in this league, you're going to have some real close ones, difficult ones to overcome, but you've got to move on. If you don't, you're doing your team a disservice by thinking about the last game and not about the upcoming game."
"These things even out, they really do, and sometimes you get a break. I felt like we got a break with Sellers that week, I really do. There's going to be games where you don't get the calls that you want."
"Chris is always in the right place at the right time, ... He's a good check down if things aren't open down the field. He's just a smart player that has the ability to be in the right place. I certainly look for him, and most of the time it's going to be a linebacker on him, and for the most part he's going to win those."
"It's a marked improvement over last year. We just find ourselves in a little bit of a rut right now. We're getting to that fourth quarter and we're just not getting it done."
"Obviously we could have used just one of those [timeouts] at the end, but we had to burn them earlier. You hoped he [Gardner] got out of bounds, but he wasn't able to. If he gets out of bounds, maybe we have a chance. But we're 1-2 and we still have a lot of football left."

Passionate Love Episode 40
Passionate Love Episode 40 English Sub
Comments (22) ADD COMMENT
YJ can't end up with MY because MY's father killed YJ's father and sister - if you hoped for this to happen it's going to and I am HAPPY about it because so far YJ has been acting stupid and undeserving of MY.
Yoo Jung is annoying. Apart from crying all the time and feeling sorry for herself I wonder if she has any deep feelings for either of the men who love her in this programme. She knows Moo Yeol has feelings for her and it causes angst with her husband but she keeps going back there. I didn't blame Soo Hyuk when he asked if the baby was his.
Things are finally getting out. In all honesty, I want SG and MY to end up together because I feel like Yoo Jung is going to stay with SH. Furthermore, if Moon Do and Nan Cho get off then Ill be unsatisfied but if only Soo Hyuk gets off then thats fine for me because he didnt do anything except for making accusations and not getting with Yoo Jung for a while. I think SH and YJ should work things out because I sort of want them together because SH needs someone to help stay in touch with reality bc he starts to become selfish and YJ brought him back with their argument in this episode.
Somehow, i am a bit annoyed with YJ for siding with her evil mother in law. Although, she doesn't know yet the truth of who is behind the death of her father, sister and her mother, her actuation towards her father in law when she asked for forgiveness in behalf of SH and Nancho I think was so irritating. Moon Do as a wise and greedy man will think of her as accomplice or conniving with them so her husband could inherit the company.
Joledphil2611Knowing Moon Do, he will not let it pass what Nancho has done to him. He was deceived for 30 years, in return he will destroy her also. Because of her, he lost his dignity, he became miserable, murderer, greedy but most of all he lost his own family.
Why, OH, why am I so addicted to these dramas...I ask myself every single time...lol...it's the lips of course...lol... Okay, when Soo Hyuk's mother is 'telling the truth' (yeah right!) she still doesn't take responsibility...that's one of the mysterious things about k-drama; even when caught red-handed, she still shifted the blame onto her husband saying "you made me like this"....lol...what, what, WHAT THE FUCK?...lol...AND if this IS a true k-drama, all the criminals WILL go free & be forgiven; the rich will stay rich, & the poor stay stupid, broke, but happy ...lol...Oh, what a ride eh? OMFG, I need a KDA meeting (Korean dramas anonymous) cuz I'm lost in & to these dramas...lol...!
bluefishDon't worry, everyone commenting in this forum is a kdrama addict. It's a good addiction though, if there's such a thing, as compared to stuff like gambling, alcoholism or worse. Baring our thoughts and opinions here is like a therapy session in itself without the therapist's exorbitant fee.
lolysuch a positive way to justify the drama addiction
TonyDaviesWhen you go to the KDA sign me up too :P im way too addicted to these dramas and know how there usually going to turn out quite fast lol maybe i should become a k drama writer i could make so many good ones with really great endings lol which is what is Soarly needed in kdrama land :P
they need to start uncovering stuff now im getting bored of over 20 episodes and nothing happening .. and i think the ending is going to piss me off .. i predict every thing will get exposed Han Yoo-Jung will get a divorce from Hong Soo-Hyuk because hell be arrested for the Contamination incident .. Kang Moon-Do and Hong Nan-Cho will also go to Jail but he bit that will make me unset is that Han Yoo-Jung will probably not go to Kang Moo-Yeol and stay faithful to her husband Hong Soo-Hyuk :( .... or the bad guys get away scott free like in traditional Korean drama style .. every one will be forgiven and Han Yoo-Jung wont go to Kang Moo-Yeol

arirangriaoh no...yah i have the same feeling that if Yoojung have the baby, she'll stay loyal to his husband & probably sekyung will end up with Mooyeol..oh i hate unsatisfied ending like this..if that's going to happen, huh!!i think i will hate this drama..wasting my time if it doesnt satisfy me:(
Magellanit's korean drama! don't be surprised if only KANG MAN DO gets punished... and actually he has wasted his live for good... Lost his loyal ex-wife and his biological son for nothing then his greedy character!
rohlarenIt's the formula Tony and you got it down pat. It's a freaking circus of some really fucked up people...lol...but then, it usually is eh?
TessaYou know, I don't understand the viciousness of people portrayed in these dramas! Also the blithe way guilt for heinous crimes are portrayed. It's troubling and just wrong. However........kdrama is alive and well!!
