Many would be surprised to discover glamorous food writer, chef and television presenter, Gizzi Erskine, was a body piercer before turning to cooking full-time in her twenties. The Cook Yourself Thin star has since penned a series of books and made a name for herself in the fashion world for her quirky vintage style. MyDaily caught up with the star and talked beehives, Super Nintendo and Apocalypse Now...
When I look in the mirror I see... well, it depends what time of day it is. When I first wake up and look in the mirror I don't recognise myself without my makeup and my hair done. Obviously I love the Sixties and when I haven't got my hair up in a beehive I look really young. In general I'm pretty happy with myself, obviously I've got flaws like anyone else but when I'm all done up I feel grown up - plus having my hair tied back all the time is practical for cooking!
If I was stranded on a desert island with one dress it would be... the one I'm wearing on my latest book cover. It's a vintage 1970s Betsy Johnson black bodycon. It's really flattering and fits in all the right places - it squishes the bits you want squished and shows off my shoulders - but it's also really comfy and I can move about in it.
When I was at school I wanted to be... a squirrel! I wanted to be a squirrel when I was in primary school and then I wanted to be a computer programmer. I was obsessed with Super Nintendo and loved drawing all the characters from my games. Then I wanted to be an illustrator - I loved the idea of designing album covers. I just so happened to fall into cooking in my mid-twenties. I'd always loved food but I'd never thought of it as a career.
My biggest style triumph was... when I posed for the cover of my first book. I was wearing a 1960s dress that I got for a fiver. It was black velvet and I decided to buy an old 1930s lace collar and sew it on. I felt so great in that dress and I still wear it now. I've got a whole selection of collars I can switch with - it's amazing how different the same dress can look when you change up the details.
If I could be any character from film or literature I'd be... teen detective Nancy Drew, she's so cool and completely hilarious. Though my favourite movie is actually Apocalypse Now, but I wouldn't want to be any of the characters!
Gizzi's latest book, Skinny Weeks and Weekend Feasts, published by Quadrille, is available to by now priced £19.99

ALAN Pardew's paid tribute to Newcastle United's unsung heroes ahead of the club's visit to The Hawthorns.
Pardew will make a late decision on Cheik Tiote's availability, with the influential midfielder rated "50-50" for the West Bromwich Albion game.
However, the club's manager has complete faith in Danny Guthrie and James Perch, who played central midfield in last weekend's 1-0 win over Norwich City.
Newcastle's Cheik Tiote doubt for Baggies clash
"Guthrie and Perch have been outstanding," Pardew told the Gazette. "When I say that I mean all year.
"It was great that Perchy played so well against Norwich.
"He played centre-back against Norwich earlier in the season, and wasn't at fault for the goals, but he played centre-midfield and ended on the winning side, and I thought that was apt."

The Cove Herald
Robert Griffin III and his father rebuked reports Sunday by ESPN that the Heisman Trophy winner has already decided to go pro.
Earlier in the day, NFL insider Chris Mortensen reported on ESPN.com that the Baylor junior quarterback had all but made up his mind to declare for the 2012 NFL draft and forgo his final year of eligibility according to statements made by his father, Robert Jr. of Copperas Cove.
But the retired Army sergeant clarified himself Sunday evening in a text to the Daily Herald.
"(The reports are) not true. He (has) not decided yet. He will on Jan. 10th. There is a process. When Robert comes back (from New Orleans) on Wednesday, it will begin."
Griffin III took to Facebook to debunk the speculation, posting "nor have I decided on my collegiate eligibility."
The Griffins are in New Orleans visiting relatives and don't plan to return to Texas until the middle of next week. Once home, Griffin III is expected to decide to return to Baylor for his senior season or enter the NFL, where he is expected to be among the top five players selected overall.
According to Mortensen's report, Griffin Jr. said: "I met with my son (Dec. 30) and his schedule is pretty much he will attend the Sugar Bowl here in New Orleans, then next weekend he will meet with five agents and select the right agent to represent him and plan a good pre-draft process.
"After that he will sit down with three of his coaches at Baylor on Wednesday or Thursday (Jan. 11 or 12) and make it official."
Griffin III graduated with a bachelor's degree in political science in December 2010, and he is only a little more than a semester away from earning his master's degree in communications. He's also said he'd like to enter law school at some point.
"He actually has made a strong case to return because he's only 12 hours short of his master's, but he believes he can still accomplish that goal," Griffin Jr. told Mortensen. "He's still waiting for his official evaluation from the league, but the decision (to turn pro) is not a hard decision."
The deadline for collegiate underclassmen to declare for the NFL Draft is Jan. 15.
Griffin III capped an incredible 2011 season at Baylor by leading the Bears to a thrilling 67-56 victory over Washington in the Alamo Bowl on Dec. 29 - their first bowl win since 1992 - and a 10-3 record for the program's second-ever 10-win season (1980).
The first-team All-American quarterback finished his junior campaign with 4,293 passing yards, 37 touchdowns and an 189.5 percent efficiency rating, breaking the prior NCAA efficiency mark of 186.0 set by Hawaii's Colt Brennan in 2006, while also running for 699 yards and 10 more scores on the ground.

Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound OffThat took really long to finish. And it needs a bit of improvement. Soooooo.....comments? Thoughts?
Good review, with a great brief prog history lesson. Just a few points though:
"and pop and rap had yet been going back at taking over the world"
This needs a little work
"the length of how long the music is"
"there still is a few smaller songs"
Change the is to are
Otherwise it's good. Interesting that this didn't have review before. You're on a prog spree? :P
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound OffYeah, pretty much. I have plans of getting some more new prog/alt albums in the near future. I want to get some more Tool, Origin of Symmetry, Spock's Beard, The Flower Kings, and Porcupine Tree.
Nice, I think you'll be the first reviewer for the Flower Kings.
And be prepared for a very few number of views for the more 'obscure' prog album reviews:P.
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound OffI've had it happen before with the whirlwind. On the bright side, I should probably have some support and help from Jethro and a few other users.
Yeah Jethro, mena, Jamie, Paperback, are a few names that come up.
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound OffSeems accurate to me. I started to listen to the Banks of Eden by the Flower Kings recently.
Well I won't spoil the album for you in that case :-).
I love Jonas and Tomas, both are monsters.
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound OffOk, I've still got some listening to do. I haven't too much time on my hands as I had in October, so I'm kind've less active...well, maybe just a bit less.
Yeah really good review, man. Have a POS. This needed a review.
Album Rating: 3.0nice review mate, can never seem to take to neither morse nor transatlantic in a big way though personally
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound OffThanks, everyone. I getting to the point where I'm starting to take a more modern approach at prog rock. So, next up is the flower kings.
And yes, Mena, I can understand what you mean. I'm just glad this sounds better than whatever is Adrenaline Mob.
if you don't have expectations, is Adrenaline Mob still bad?
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound OffNo, I just don't think much of it.
Oh well who's got the time to find out. So much other stuff on the music bucketlist.
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound OffYeah, I am enjoying The Flower Kings quite a bit. I'm taking a bit of a side track back to Back In the World of Adventures.
My, Cosmic, Looover. Theme for a Hero is fantastic
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound OffI have to agree with you. It has a great debut.
It can feel to samey and too positive by the end. Need some more moody stuff to balance. Unfold the Future is a bit more edgy and diverse, I really enjoyed that.
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound OffThat's interesting. I'm also going into another prog band called Ozric Tenticles as well.

Works well for handmade notepads
By rled
from Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Comments about Lineco Pad Compound:
We were doing some embossing and decided to create handmade notepads with what was produced. The glue worked very well for this purpose. It bound the pages securely, but tearing off a sheet was simple.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great prodcut

Great for taking scrap paper from work and making drawing pads for my daughter at home. I don't feel guilty for throwing out tons of "still good" paper and my house is beautifully decorated with pretty drawings.

I found this refurbished antique organ stool and it's great. I used to use my rolling desk chair but it would push away from the sewing machine when I sewed. Then I used a dining room chair but I was always twisting my back when I tried to move from machine to cutting table. The stool swivels and I can move from machine to cutting table and then to my computer on the right (not shown in photo). What a find!!!
Another tip is an egg timer. Sometimes I start sewing and HOURS go by before I know it. Now I set the timer for 1 hour, when it rings I get up use the exercise machine for 10 to 15 minutes. It helps with relieving back pain and I don't feel so guilty about not going to the Y.

Fitch assigns its 'AAA' rating to the Colorado Water Resources and Power Development Authority (the authority) $73.8 million wastewater revolving fund refunding revenue bonds 2001 series A. The bonds are expected to sell Oct. 30 through a syndicate led by UBS PaineWebber, Inc. The authority's approximately $461 million outstanding clean and drinking water revenue bonds are affirmed at 'AAA'.
The 'AAA' rating assigned to the authority's refunding bonds, reflects good debt service coverage provided by excess loan repayments no longer needed for refunded senior lien bonds, coupled with available reserves in the program's surplus accounts. Unlike first lien bonds, 2001 series A bonds are not directly secured by the substantial reserves capitalized by federal grants and state matching funds. As a result of the refunding, outstanding non-refunded senior lien obligations' debt service will essentially be amply covered by the investment earnings of the related massive reserves. Therefore, the local government loan repayments will be available for debt service on the series 2001 A bonds.
Although the refunding bonds are not directly secured by reserve accounts, additional security is provided from surplus accounts. Surplus accounts capture reserves released from the SRF program as bond principal is retired. This pool mechanism, commonly referred to as cross-collateralization allows Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) and Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) bonds, each with its own reserve accounts, to supply each other with funds for debt service payments in the event of loan defaults. The surplus accounts also are available to make-up subordinate lien debt service deficiencies. First, surplus accounts within each SRF are used to replenish reserve accounts within the same SRF if they fall below required levels. Then, surplus funds flow to refunding subordinated bonds, such as the ones now offered and bonds of the other SRF before becoming available to make or secure new loans.
This issuance will refund portions of debt associated with 25 borrowers. The city of Fort Collins is the single largest borrower accounting for 19 percent of proceeds. Of the top 10 borrowers, eight are estimated to be of investment-grade quality. Approximately 24 percent of loan repayments are from entities that are not of investment-grade quality, somewhat weaker than the credit profile of the overall program Currently, net present value saving are estimated in excess of 4 percent.
Fitch tested the default tolerance subordinate bonds could withstand assuming 24 percent of senior lien bonds defaulted over the next four years (minimum default tolerance required for Fitch's 'AAA' on the senior lien program). A default at the senior level would reduce the amount of released reserves available in the surplus account since reserves would be needed to cure senior lien debt service deficiencies. Under such a scenario where money available in the surplus accounts was reduced, approximately 42 percent of loan principal could default annually during the next four years of scheduled subordinate debt service without causing a bond default. Given the credit composition of the subordinate loan pool, actual default tolerance surpasses Fitch's 'AAA' requirements by a margin of 1.20:1.

A novel by the don who inspired Amis and McEwan
At 65, Craig Raine is retiring from Oxford — but he won't be sitting back, as he has just made his prose fiction debut
What kept him? It's not as if he didn't know about novels. He's been telling his students about them for the past 40 years. A clutch of his slightly younger best friends have been top practitioners for decades now — Martin Amis, Ian McEwan, Julian Barnes. They and their other famous friends, such as the poet James Fenton and the journalist Christopher Hitchens, acknowledge Craig Raine's serious influence on their writing lives. But from him, not a word of fiction, at least not prose fiction, until now, his pensionable year, when out comes a 200-pager called Heartbreak.
He has plenty of renown to be getting on with, but most of this is the result of his work in the smaller and more remote parishes of…

Digestive and Bowel Disorders Answer A31901
Hello and welcome to e health forum.
Belching, also known as burping , is the act of expelling gas from the stomach out through the mouth. âThe usual cause of belching is a distended stomach caused by swallowed air. The distention results in âabdominal discomfort, and the belching expels the air and relieves the discomfort. â
In your case, since your symptoms have persisted for a long time, and are continuous, then the cause âcan be enlargement of abdominal organs like liver, collection of peritoneal fluid or obesity. In case you do ingest âlot of milk or dairy products (lactose) then malabsorption syndromes can be the cause. â
You may consult with a gastroenterologist who can examine you and if needed order a few tests like âAbdominal X ray, Gastric emptying studies, or imaging like Ultrasound or a CT scan to rule out possible âcauses. â
Proper treatment will include specific treatment of the underlying condition, proper dietary habits and âavoiding foods that produce excess gas, supplementation of digestive enzymes, medications to âpromote intestinal motility (erythromycin or metoclopramide) and probiotic supplements. â
I hope this helps.

Its common knowledge that you dont want to drop / slam / or hit your expensive electronics, you might break them. Well, what if your expensive electronics is already broken?
I'm writing this in response to the hundreds of comments I received on my blog post about replacing a broken ipod hard drive.
It seems that there is a very unconventional way to fix your broken iPod, without having to open it or spend any money…. beat your ipod up! You heard me right, Slap your iPod!
How to do this:
Hold your iPod so the screen faces the palm of your hand and slap the back of it a few solid times. That's it.
I personally haven't tried this, but based on the response to my previous blog post, its worked for over 100 people so far.
Why does spanking your iPod fit it?
Here are a few of my thoughts on why this might work.
- Your iPod might have stopped working if the hard drive connection came lose. Slapping the iPod might jar the connection back into place.
- The hard drive arm might have gotten stuck for some reason. Spanking the iPod might free up that hard drive arm.
- It might just be magic!
I really don't know why it works but I guess it does. If you have any experience with this post a comment.

My first apple, of my sixteen or so varieties of apple trees. This is just one that formed a week ago or so, and there are a few more on the tree, probably a few more to come. Since the apple itself is small, the pic is somewhat blurry, but let's hope it makes it to maturity!
I would have had apples at least two or three years back if my golden dorsett apple would have done well, but it's just been somewhat sickly. So, this 'Anna' apple apparently either pollinated itself or some bee traveled a couple miles from another apple tree to pollinate it.
'Anna' apples are considered semi self-fertile, but up until now, even though it has flowered profusely over the last few years, it hadn't had any fruit. So, I don't know what to think of it.
Within the next two or three years, many of my other apples should start blooming, and we should have hundreds of apples each year. This year, I'll be happy to settle with somewhere between 5 and 15 lol.
Apple trees generally take between four and five years to produce once planted in the ground, although dwarf varieties may fruit sooner, and standard varieties even longer. Most stock you buy is semi-dwarf, meaning it uses a rootstock that doesn't grow very large, around 15' or so. I think what seems to determine how big the top grows is actually how large/long the root system will actually grow. Dwarf rootstock probably grows less than 8', semi-dwarf, around 15', and standard upward to 45'. The length til root establishment seems to be like what you have to wait for until the top portion of tree tree is ready to bloom in the ground.

See this picture?
As of right now, these are the boxes that comprise my star cards/player collections.
(That stack with Rusney on top is stuff I still have to file.)
These are all cards that are not part of sets I'm collecting, and not a relic or autograph, though there are a fair number of serial numbered cards in here.
There's entirely too much stuff in these boxes.
I'm not about to get rid of the cards of players I *really* like (Bernie Williams, Buehrle, Ichiro, Vlad, etc.; the list is in my sidebar), but there are a lot of cards in here of a lot of players I'm not all that into that I'd be able to part with fairly easily. After all, there's almost no players represented here that aren't in sets I'm building, or in my auto/relic binder that I need to show you all soon. (I think I might be a little light on Brian Cole in the sets, but he's about it.)
So, your mission, should you choose to accept it: in the comments here, first-come, first-served, name players you seriously collect, and tell me whether you'd be willing to trade for cards by them, pay cash for them, or both. My preference right now, gotta be honest, is cash, so trades will have to wow me. My prices are gonna be fairly reasonable, though, because I have a LOT of cards to move (again, this is just stuff I'm looking at right now in my own private stash, and has nothing to do with any possible group breaks, trade bait drafts, COMC sales, etc. coming up over the next few months, though I'll be happy to check the other 50,000 or so cards in the other room for the players you name, too).
We're going to use this as a starting point for Project: Scott's Selling A Shit-Ton Of Cards.
Start your engines, name your players of choice (if someone beats you to a name, name it anyway, and you'll be next in line if they pass), and let's get something started!
1st Update:
For Xavier, these are the Gordons!
And, surprise, I found some El Duques for him, too!

DiAmbang: Stateless in Sabah is a video documentary that stalks the lives of two undocumented families in Lahad Datu.
KUALA LUMPUR: With just six days to go to meet their deadline to raise US$10,000 (RM30,000), producers of DiAmbang: Stateless in Sabah, have made an open appeal to Malaysians to support their bid to release the video.
The video which offers a peek into the stateless situation in Sabah is produced and directed by two Malaysian women – Azliana Aziz, 28 and Vilashini Somiah 29.
The duo are now wanting to release the documentary but need to raise just over US$5,000 (RM15,000) to pay for copyrights on news clippings, music scores and final touch-ups.
Azliana is from Johor while Vilashini is Sabahan. Both are currently pursuing their master degrees in Ohio University in USA.
After years of trudging the corridors of the academia in Malaysia and failing to secure support for their contentious project, they finally found reprieve in the USA.
Together with cinematographer Mathew Filmore, the duo began filming in 2012 and concluded the location shoot last year amidst the Lahad Datu incursion.
Their accidental presence amidst the insurgency gave them a frightening and deeper insight into the lives and state of the stateless.
DiAmbang: Stateless in Sabah is a video documentary that stalks the lives of two families – Ebelyn Salih, a Suluk-Bajau, and Abdul Han, a Bajau sea gypsy.
The video was shot in Lahad Datu, where the bloody Feb 9, 2012 invasion by the Sulu terrorists took place.
Azliana, the producer of the documentary has made an open appeal for support in the video which also offers expert opinions on the situation of the stateless in Sabah.
Also interviewed are Simon Sipaun, chairman of the Association for the Promotion of Human Rights, Borneo Heritage Foundation chairman and politician Jeffrey Kitingan and Wan Sahawaluddin, a senior lecturer in University Malaysia Sabah.
All three offer insights into the history, issues and presence of Sabah's estimated 1.9 million undocumented immigrants who are primarily from neighbouring Indonesia and southern Philippines.

MADISON, Minn. - The wood shop at Lac qui Parle Valley High School does more than its share of sawing. But Ryan Giles, an industrial arts teacher, is now part of the best use of a saw he's ever seen.
"That's probably the proudest thing I've ever cut before," said the teacher. "Something I've never seen."
Giles is also the girls' basketball coach and helped pick Alaysia Freetly as this year's team MVP.
At 7:30 the next morning, Alaysia was standing at coach Giles desk, MVP plaque in hand. "She started to get a little teary-eyed and she said, 'Coach, I need to ask you to divide this plaque up into three.'"
Freetly, a high school junior and two-time all-stater in cross country, says her basketball coach didn't believe her at first. "He said, 'Seriously, you want to cut it?'"
Assured by Freetly that she'd given it plenty of thought, Giles grabbed a hacksaw from the shop and commenced with the cutting. The wood and metal plaque, with a team photo under clear plastic, was sliced into three equal parts, exactly as Freetly had instructed.
"I think I earned it, but at that the same time so did they," said Freetly, after the fact.
From the moment the plaque had been handed to her at the basketball banquet, Freetly hadn't felt completely right about taking it. Two other girls, junior Kaitlin Connor and 8th grader Kelsea Lund, had stats just as good as hers. "I felt like I'd be happier if they both got it too," Freetly said.
With the plaque in three pieces, coach Giles called the entire team to his classroom, where Freetly handed out the resized awards.
"I was shocked," said Connor.
"So was I," agreed Lund.
"Everyone was shocked," added Connor.
Shock turned to tears and spontaneous applause.
"It's about as sweet as it gets," said Giles. "Ultimately the proudest moment I've had as a coach."
Connor says she'll hang onto that partial plaque for the rest of her life. "This is always going to be with me. And if I have kids, I'll be like, 'I had one of the best friends ever.'"
Funny, isn't it, how sawing something apart brought everyone together?
It might just be the truest measure of the most valuable person.
"She's just a great kid, and she proved that," said

The Statistical Data and Metadata Exchange Initiative (SDMX) is sponsored by the Bank for International Settlements, European Central Bank, Eurostat, International Monetary Fund, OECD, United Nations and the World Bank.
It focuses primarily on the exchange of aggregated statistics for the needs of international organisations. See http://www.sdmx.org/index.php?page_id=10. The SDMX standards have been recognised as an ISO standard (ISO/Technical Specification 17369:2005).
The generic models and concepts used within the SDMX may bring lessons to other applications, including the raw data collection and structuring of data and metadata for in-house statistical systems.
The following documents relate to this subject:
"Governance and management of statistical information systems -An Integration Approach for the Statistical Information System of Istat using SDMX Standards"
Prepared by Francesco Rizzo and Stefano De Francisci, Istat , Italy, for the
UNECE/Eurostat meeting on the Management of Statistical Information Systems ( Geneva , 8-10 May 2007)
Executive Summary
The statistical production activities of Istat are supported by a distributed architecture. Several production Directorates operate through local subsystems that, independently one from the other, cover the full life cycle of statistical data, from data collection to the dissemination. For this reason, the need to harmonize and integrate these systems has become mandatory, with respect to both the production process and the common statistical contents of the existing systems.
In order to reach this goal, Istat is currently involved in the development of the Integrated Output Management System, an Information System oriented towards the integration of part of the statistical data life cycle, particularly all the steps needed to produce purposeful statistical outputs for end users.
The aim of this paper is to show the main features of the System, the most important results already achieved and the future perspectives of the project, overall regarding the impact of the new approach on the management of; production, interchange and integration processes of the statistical data in Istat.

Nothing succeeds like success
Iraq torture 'worse after Saddam'
BBC News
Thursday, 21 September 2006
Torture may be worse now in Iraq than under former leader Saddam Hussein, the UN's chief anti-torture expert says.
Manfred Nowak said the situation in Iraq was "out of control", with abuses being committed by security forces, militia groups and anti-US insurgents.
Bodies found in the Baghdad morgue "often bear signs of severe torture", said the human rights office of the UN Assistance Mission in Iraq in a report.
The wounds confirmed reports given by refugees from Iraq, Mr Nowak said.
He told journalists at a briefing in Geneva that he had yet to visit Iraq, but he was able to base his information on autopsies and interviews with Iraqis in neighbouring Jordan.
"What most people tell you is that the situation as far as torture is concerned now in Iraq is totally out of hand," the Austrian law professor said.

Hunched over the headstone, his tangled hair tucked under a filthy Mud Hens cap, Woodruff soaked the bristling nylon brush in the bucket of bleach, his rubber gloves squeaking against the sides. A familiar spasm of pain shuddered across his shoulders but he scarcely noticed. Then he proceeded to scrub away more of the debris and grime that had accumulated on the ancient marker, slowly bringing it back to life he thought to himself. Behind him gleamed the row and a half of white headstones that he had cleaned the past two weeks.
It would probably take the rest of the summer to spruce up all the stones in the Old Burial Grounds but he didn't mind. He liked working in this corner of Cedar Springs Cemetery because he was usually on his own and didn't have to talk to anyone. No one had been interred there in close to a hundred years. He wished he could spend all day in this corner instead of just the morning.
Around one of the narrow turns in the lone road that wound through the cemetery appeared a silver station wagon and, at once, he got up and stood behind one of the cedar trees. He was concerned it might be the garrulous Hungarian whose arm he had put in a splint when the elderly gentleman landed on it after slipping on a concrete slab covered with lichen. Harlan, his supervisor, told him yesterday the man wanted to thank him in person for what he did but he made it clear that wasn't necessary.
"All he wants to do is shake your hand and say thanks."
"He'll want to do more than that."
"I don't get you, Von," Harlan said in mild exasperation. "This guy intends you no harm but you act as if he wants to give you a subpoena."
The station wagon continued past the low brick wall that enclosed the Old Burial Grounds so he relaxed and stepped from behind the tree and resumed scrubbing the headstone.
Woodruff was always pretty reticent but after the accident he became even more so because all anyone wanted to talk about, seemingly, was how he was coping with the loss of his wife and daughter. And he did not handle it well, turning more and more to a bottle to keep from having to think about what happened to his family. Noreen and their daughter, Sandy, were visiting a friend of his wife's who lived in the west hills when, around three o'clock in the afternoon, a bright orange single-engine plane fell out of the sky and crashed into her friend's modest house. Immediately it erupted into flames that spread to three other houses in the neighborhood. Several people were injured but other than the Sunday pilot, the only fatalities were Noreen and Sandy.
When he was notified of the accident, he thought some sick soul was playing a trick on him and hung up the phone. Then the dispatcher from the fire department called back, her voice full of compassion and strain, reiterating that his family had indeed been killed earlier that afternoon.
"I can't believe it!" he shouted into the receiver.
"I am so very sorry," the woman said, sounding sincere, "but strange things happen sometimes. Things we can't possibly explain."
"I won't believe it! I can't and I won't!"
"Sir, is there someone with you? Maybe there's someone I can call for you?"
He started to tell her the only people he wanted to be with were his wife and daughter but instead kept quiet and set the receiver back in its cradle. Absolutely devastated, he still couldn't believe it wasn't some awful prank and stayed up all night waiting for Noreen and Sandy to return from the west hills. He didn't know why they had been gone so long but he certainly was going to scold them the moment they came back because he had been so worried about them.
What a fool, he thought a couple days after realizing what the dispatcher told him was true. What a complete and pathetic fool.
Often he had a drink in the evening but after the accident he started to imbibe as soon as he got up in the morning and increasingly became dependent on shots of bourbon to get him through the day. Before long, he lost his job at the rental agency where he serviced cars then for eight months drifted from one menial job after another. He just could not seem to concentrate on what he was hired to do so, inevitably, he was let go after a sharp lecture on the importance of personal responsibility. When he took the position as a groundsman at Cedar Springs, he didn't think he would last more than a couple of weeks, but to his surprise working outdoors all day made him feel better than he had in a long time. He was alert again, full of energy, doing what was expected of him, able finally to sweat the poisonous alcohol out of his system.
The first few weeks all he did was cut grass, cruising up and down the slopes of what Harlan referred to as "stone city" in a clattering riding mower. The work was monotonous but he didn't complain because he could do it without anyone looking over his shoulder. He was on his own, just as he had been in the garage at the car rental agency. Then one morning Harlan assigned him to the clean-up project in the Old Burial Grounds, which had recently begun as part of a privately funded program to refurbish some of the neglected tracts of the cemetery.
"Some of these headstones haven't been cleaned in decades," he informed him. "So you'll need to roll up your sleeves and apply some elbow grease."
Woodruff smiled and started to roll up his left sleeve.
"There are a lot of Civil War veterans buried there so you might learn a thing or two," he told him. "Not only about the soldiers but about the country."
Woodruff wasn't sure what he meant but nodded as if he did.
"This is the kind of work that gives you something back."
"Sorry?" he said, puzzled.
"You'll see. If you're there long enough, you'll see what I mean."
Woodruff had been working on the marble headstone nearly twenty minutes and still was only about halfway through, but he always proceeded cautiously because he was concerned if he hurried he might cause some damage. Throughout this section of the cemetery were strewn bits and pieces of granite and marble that had broken off of the fragile headstones. He didn't want to add to the debris so he took his time, scrubbing only as hard as was absolutely necessary.
Some day he intended to ask Harlan if he would allow him to see if he could restore some of the smaller fragments that littered the ground. Certainly he had no training in such delicate work but, as a mechanic, he was always pretty good with his hands and thought he could do a competent job. Also, he figured it might be a way of staying on the payroll longer because he knew once the bad weather set in the grass wouldn't have to be cut as often and some of the groundsmen would be let off until the spring. As the most recent person hired, he would likely be the first to go.
When he finished scrubbing the headstone, he turned on the hose and thoroughly flushed the entire surface, making sure to dissolve any remaining bleach. Then he stepped back, pleased with his effort. Every letter and numeral was again legible:
Cpt. Albion Clark
"He Did What Was Necessary"
Slowly removing his gloves, he stared at the gleaming white stone. The soldier was only a couple of years older than his daughter when she died. Just too young, he thought bitterly, bending over to pick up the bucket of bleach and move on to another stone. Too damn young. Of course, from the inscription, he recognized that the relatives of the soldier were convinced he died for a worthwhile purpose. That sentiment was shared by almost all of the Civil War stones he had cleaned. He could not quarrel with it, knowing that to perish in the struggle to preserve the integrity of the country made sense. Certainly a lot more sense than having an airplane fall on you.
Moments later, another car appeared on the road and instinctively Woodruff ducked behind one of the trees, pulling his cap even farther down on his forehead. It seemed much too small to belong to the gigantic Hungarian but he could not be sure so he regarded it closely as it crept past the memorial pond. He was a little surprised how emphatically his heart was pounding even though he knew he didn't want to speak with the obviously grateful man. He almost wished now he hadn't bothered to help him the other day.
In another minute another car appeared on the road then another and another until there was a whole procession of them with their headlights burning in the pale sunlight. At once, he relaxed, remembering then Harlan telling him that a burial was scheduled that morning on the north slope, and stepped from behind the tree. Calmly he walked back to the headstone he was working on, wishing he was not so reluctant to talk but knew it was best that he didn't.
"You don't talk much, do you?" he recalled a woman he waited tables with last winter saying to him one evening.
"I suppose not."
"Why's that?"
He shrugged. "I guess I don't really have much to say."
"You must have opinions," she insisted. "You must have things you want to get off your chest."
He didn't reply, certain this woman would not want to be subjected to all the bitterness and rage inside of him. No one would, really, except perhaps some counselor whose only interest was in making some money off his troubles.
His shoulders aching, his back too, Woodruff knew he needed a break and slapped his gloves across the side of the bleach bucket. Then he got up and stretched the ache from his arms, shook out a cigarette and lit it. Deliberately he inhaled the smoke into his lungs, gazing across the grounds at the mourners on the north slope. They were too far away to make out their faces, still he could see the tears welling in their eyes. He was glad he was working here not there, he thought, inhaling some more smoke.
Often when he took a break he strolled around the Old Burial Grounds, reading the inscriptions on the scoured headstones. Some of them he knew by heart, he had walked by them so many times. "He Always Did The Things He Thought He Couldn't Do." "His True Wealth Was In His Generous Heart." "Only Those Who Risk Going Too Far Will Ever Know How Far They Can Go." He almost felt as if he had engraved them, they were so tarnished with age until he made them visible.
Harlan was absolutely right when he told him there was much to learn from working at the Old Burial Grounds. "You'll feel as if you know some of the folks buried there," he said.
Woodruff squinted in disbelief.
"You don't believe me now but if you work there long enough you'll understand what I mean."
"If you say so."
"Oh, I do, Von. I most certainly do."
To be sure, there were some soldiers he imagined he knew. There was the lanky first lieutenant slain at Cold Harbor mounted on a maple red charger, a cutlass circling above his head, the bugler with freckles as bright as rose petals, the craggy buck sergeant who fell at Antietam with a musket on his shoulder, the scrawny corporal who starved to death in the prison at Andersonville. But what he liked most about working in this corner of the cemetery was the stillness; it was a place where he didn't have to worry about someone asking about how he was getting along without his family.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Some students at the University of Minnesota are getting a "hands on" experience by learning how to build a business from scratch. But their actual product will help keep your hands off something you might not want to touch.
You can teach history and science in the classroom, but how do you teach an entrepreneur?
John Stavig does it by sending his students into the real world.
"The assignment is to solve a problem and build a business that will provide good learning for the students in the class," said Stavig, the director of the Gary S. Holmes Center for Entrepreneurship at the Carlson School of Management.
Students break into teams and create new products. In the past, they've sold iPod covers, organic shampoos and Gopher chopper gloves. This year it's something called the Toepener.
"It's interesting how there are so many problems out there that have such simple solutions," said University of Minnesota senior Maxwell Arndt, CEO of Toepener.
The students found their problem in public restrooms, where after washing their hands, a lot of people worry about touching a door handle that could be covered with other folks' germs.
So, they came up with Toepener, which is basically a door handle for the foot. But when the students went to sell it, they got odd looks.
Still, the Bulldog in Northeast Minneapolis bought in along with some other Twin Cities restaurants.
"What are these goofy door openers," said Bulldog General Manger Amy Baskerville. "I don't know, it sounds cool, let's give it a try."
And they've been surprisingly well received by employees who need to wash their hands frequently and by customers, as well.
"I'm kind of a germ freak too, so I think it works good," said Jason DeJoy of Prior Lake.
The Toepener sells for $49.95.

"There's a black comedy aspect. It's about this bizarre marriage," the softspoken 32-year-old said over lunch last week about Hitched, in which Sheryl Lee co-stars as the wronged wife.
After she discovers he's been unfaithful, she holds him captive in their basement and reports him missing. The film, for the USA cable network, shoots until Dec. 22. Writer-director Wesley Strick (who also wrote Cape Fear and Return To Paradise) told Hall he was inspired by Whatever Happened To Baby Jane? and Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf? and their notions of the turmoil that can go on behind a home's peaceful facade.
Praying for Downey
Hall directed only once himself. That was on the cable movie Hail Caesar! five years ago, in which he also starred as a pencil eraser factory worker with aspirations to rock stardom. Contributing a cameo was Samuel L. Jackson, with whom he reunited in Toronto this year for the feature film Caveman's Valentine. The Hail Caesar! alumni also include Hall's close friend, drug-troubled actor Robert Downey Jr.
"I'm praying for him, I really am. We're all waiting for this court date, Dec. 27. There are so many people pulling for him," said Hall, who visited Downey during his year in jail.
He also visited him on the set of Ally McBeal and believes that Downey is actually most vulnerable to temptation when he's working.
"You'd think it's the opposite, but in fact it's the great enabler to have a job, to have money and to have time."
Hall has been working since age eight when Steve Allen cast him in his play The Wake. The '80s movies The Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles crowned him the nerd prince of Hollywood's Brat Pack and he's still the youngest person to ever be in Saturday Night Live's cast. The youngest -- he was 17 -- "and probably one of the least funny," he says now.
Those days and those Farmer Ted-type roles are just good memories now -- "I love the work and I would never disparage it," he said. He grew up to be a solid 6-foot-2.
One of his past projects, the U.S. cable film Pirates Of Silicon Valley, in which he plays Microsoft mogul Bill Gates (Farmer Ted all grown up?), makes its Canadian TV premiere this Sunday night on ONtv.
Among projects awaiting release are '61, Billy Crystal's HBO film about the friendship between Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris. Hall plays left-handed Hall of Fame pitcher Whitey Ford.
"I got into that role," Hall said, despite being more of a basketball than a baseball follower. "Whitey was a guy from New York who had a real edge."
Hall is a guy from New York, but he has a real soft edge. He brought Rey, his four-year-old Bull Mastiff-Boxer mix, to Toronto with him and just treated his college student little sister to a fly-in weekend. Raised a Roman Catholic, he wears a medallion of a cross and still goes to mass.
Tom Green fan
His girlfriend is Sandra Guerard, a lovely blonde model and actress from Ottawa who is now based here. She just wrapped the Kathie Lee Gifford TV movie Spinning Out Of Control and was also in KISS Detroit Rock City.
The couple will hook up in our capital over the holidays with Tom Green and Drew Barrymore. Hall is a fan as well as friend to Green and is in his upcoming movie, Freddy Got Fingered.
"I think the guy's a genius. I think the guy's a social hypnotist. I think he's incredible. He's on to something big-time and it's not just standup comedy," he says. "If this doesn't make $100 million, something's wrong. I smell a sequel."
Despite his quiet demeanour, Hall has a taste for Tom Green-esque hijinks in him. Take the time he and Guerard trailed Monica Lewinsky after spotting her at an L.A. gas station.
"I do, like, the Kojak right turn at the next corner -- Errrrrr -- and double back," he remembered. "There we are, stalking Monica up Wilshire Blvd. It was pretty funny. It was a cultural event. You see Monica, it's like seeing Garbo in the '70s. Not a fair comparison, I know."

text: I demo'd these two and I'm trying to decide between them. My impression is that I have to use a lot more topspin than I want to on every shot with the oversized to keep the ball in, but that the oversized gets the ball over the net when I'm completely out of position and in trouble. I play whatever seem to work that day. Somedays it's baseline, somedays serve and volley (but not a whole match usually), and everything inbetween. I use depth more than angles. My weapons are my serve, back hand slice in the mid court and forhand on the baseline. Volley's get the job done, eventually, but I usually have to hit more than I think I should. Any idea's which racquet would better suit me ? Any experience with mid vrs. oversized is welcome as well, this is the first oversized I've played with.

WITHDRAWN: Propensity Score Methods in Comparaive Effectiveness Study of Multiple Treatments
Bassam Dahman, Virginia Commonwealth University
Keywords: propensity score, multiple treatments, simulation, comparative effectiveness
The propensity score (PS) methods are commonly used now in observational studies. Health policy researchers utilize these methods to adjust for the confounding problems and reduce the bias in estimating the treatment effects that result from the non-random allocation of treatments in observational studies. A few PS methods are developed to estimate the treatment effects in the presence of more than two treatment groups. These include using PS as covariates or weights, or using them in matching. This paper reviews these methods, and describes the challenges in i) estimating the PS using different multinomial models ii) using these PS in matching iii) utilizing the different methods of using PS to adjusting for confounding. These methods were applied and compared in a comparative effectiveness study of the different treatments of newly diagnosed prostate cancer patients. Simulation studies built on the data extracted from SEER linked Medicare database were used to evaluate the properties of the different PS methods and to compare the estimates the treatment effects.

I'm dating a guy who moved to NYC three months ago. I'm having a great time seeing the city for the first time through his eyes, but playing tour guide is starting to drag. Sometimes it feels like because I know which way is uptown and where to get the best slice, maybe he's using me for my Big Apple know-how. How can I get him to take initiative? Also, how do I know if the relationship has potential or will be chucked once he learns the subway system?
Michelle, Brooklyn
OK, girls way over-think things! While I understand your concerns, the guy probably doesn't feel comfortable picking a place when you know the city inside and out.
If you do want him to take initiative, give him a reason to. Say that you're swamped at work and you need him to plan the next date. See what he comes up with. If he's struggling, give the poor fella some guidance — suggest a type of cuisine you'd like to try or a specific neighborhood that would work for you. But if he really likes you, then he will take control — with or without your help. If he doesn't, well, then, he's not the guy for you and on to the next!
I know it's hard once you've already set a precedent for being the "planner," but if you are indeed enjoying seeing the city "for the first time through his eyes," then just enjoy it! Don't back off because you think as a guy he "should" be making the plans. In the end, you could have a great thing here, and no one is sabotaging it but you.
I lasered my pubic hair last year. It worked, but I still need maintenance so I've been shaving. Do you have any tips for avoiding razor burn and for a longer lasting cheap remedy?
Joann, Harlem
Yeah, I don't think laser ever works 100 percent. It takes a lot of visits for you to really start noticing a difference. Shaving is fine so long as you have the right products and proper routine. Get yourself a nice loofa mitt, Dove soap (the original), two shaving gels: Skintimate Skin Therapy Gel with vitamin E (dry skin, pink bottle) and Aveeno Therapeutic Shave Gel with oatmeal (baby blue bottle). Use one for a week, then switch to the other for another week and see which one works best for your skin.
Then, pick up a bottle of baby oil (from Johnson & Johnson) and the original Lubriderm lotion (the one that DOESN'T say fragrance-free on it). And, last but not least, get the mack daddy of razors, the Mach 3 Turbo Razor with refill blades (make sure the blades are Mach 3 Turbo).
Now, before you do anything, wait as long as it takes for those razor bumps you already have to go away. If you shave over them, you'll only irritate the area further.
Once your skin is better, take a shower and lather the loofa mitt with the dove soap, and exfoliate your entire body, being a little more gentle down there because you don't want to break the skin.
Then, take your shaving gel and apply it to the areas you want to shave with your awesome Mach 3 Turbo. Make sure you always have a sharp blade. (This means not being lazy about changing the blade every time you see that little green strip start to fade.)
When you get out of the shower, pump five pumps of the Lubriderm into your palm and then squeeze a quarter-size amount of baby oil into it. Then, rub your hands together and apply it over your entire body — including the girly area. I hope this helps. Good luck!

Infineon's WiMAX/WiFi transceiver cuts footprint, power 50%
Post a comment
Infineon Technologies' SMARTi WiMAX transceiver supports both IEEE 802.16e WiMAX and IEEE 802.11b/g WLAN in a single CMOS RF silicon chip.
Packaged in a semi-ball-grid-array transceiver, the transceiver has footprint of only 5 x 5 mm2, nearly fifty percent smaller than competing solutions. Power consumption is also fifty percent lower than the industry benchmark.
The SMARTi WiMAX provides excellent EVM (Error Vector Magnitude). Due to its exceptional low noise figure, the transceiver significantly reduces size and component count of a WiMAX front-end by eliminating the need of external Low Noise Preamplifiers as used in existing solutions.
Supporting 64QAM (64-state Quadrature Amplitude Modulation), the SMARTi WIMAX also supports LTE (Long-Term-Evolution) requirements as needed for upcoming 4G standards. The SMARTi WiMAX is available in sample quantities and will be ready for mass production the second half of 2007.
More information is available at www.infineon.com.

Kenneth Patchen was born in Niles,
Ohio, in 1911. From the age of twelve, he kept a diary and read
Dante, Homer, Burns, Shakespeare, and Melville. He attended Alexander
Meiklejohn's Experimental College for one year and then the University
of Wisconsin.
He was employed in a variety of jobs as a migrant worker in the
United States and Canada. "Permanence," a sonnet, was
published in The New York Times on April 10, 1932. He wrote more
than forty books of poetry, prose and drama, including Before
the Brave (1936), First Will and Testament (1939) and Journal
of Albion Moonlight (1941), a prose work. In 1942, he published
The Dark Kingdom in a limited edition of seventy-five copies
and painted each cover individually in water color.
For more than thirty years, Patchen lived with a severe spinal
ailment that caused him almost constant physical pain. The weight
of this personal battle was compounded by his sensitivity to
greater issues of humanity, and his poetry paid special attention
to the horrors of war. With his work he tried to create a kind
of sanctuary for the reader, apart from reality, where larger-than-life
characters were motivated by their loving and benevolent natures.
Kenneth Patchen died in 1972.
Let Us Have Madness ( Top
of Page )
Let us have madness openly.
0 men Of my generation.
Let us follow
The footsteps of this slaughtered age:
See it trail across Time's dim land
Into the closed house of eternity
With the noise that dying has,
With the face that dead things wear--
nor ever say
We wanted more; we looked to find
An open door, an utter deed of love,
Transforming day's evil darkness;
but We found extended hell and fog Upon the earth,
and within the head
A rotting bog of lean huge graves.
The Hangman's Great Hands ( Top
of Page )
And all that is this day...
The boy with cap slung over what had been a face...
Somehow the cop will sleep tonight, will make love to
his wife...
Anger won't help. I was born angry. Angry that my
father was being burnt alive in the mills; Angry that
none of us knew anything but filth, and poverty. Angry
because I was that very one somebody was supposed
To be fighting for
Turn him over; take a good look at his face...
Somebody is going to see that face for a long time.
I wash his hands that in the brightness they will shine.
We have a parent called the earth.
To be these buds and trees; this tameless bird Within
the ground; this season's act upon the fields of Man.
To be equal to the littlest thing alive,
While all the swarming stars move silent through The
merest flower
... but the fog of guns.
The face with all the draining future left blank...
Those smug saints, whether of church or Stalin, Can
get off the back of my people, and stay off. Somebody
is supposed to be fighting for somebody... And Lenin
is terribly silent, terribly silent and dead.
November 1937
Frothing Wounds of Roses (
Top of Page )
As frothing wounds of roses
Harry summer over a wintry sea,
So does thy very strangeness
Bring me ever nearer thee
As the cry of the bird-torn wind
Hastens the heart beyond its usual need,
So shalt thy dear lovliness,
Upon the forlorn unrest of my cold will,
Be as that snowy stain the roses bleed
O as flaming wounds of roses
Marry summer to the most wintry sea,
So does thy very woman's separateness
Bring me ever nearer to thee
Miriam (
Top of Page )
As beautiful as the hands
Of a winter tree
And as holy
Base are they beside thee
As dross beside thee
O green birds
That sing the earth to wakefulness
As tides the sea
Drab are they beside thee
As tinsel beside thee
O pure
And fair as the clouds
Over a summer field
They are crass beside thee
The hands
Move through the starhair
As tawdry beside thee

NY Mills cultural center to host bluegrass concert

The band's music is heard on bluegrass radio programs around the country, and it has received national critical acclaim.


text: So i've finally managed to get rid of my Apogee Duet, great interface, but limited and considering my studio is growing i was obviously short with inputs an outputs section. I came across used Fireface 800 for a good price, the seller claims he's the first owner, that he used is for 5 years never took it outside of the studio. He claims it is in perfect working order. From the photos I can tell it's cosmetically in tip top shape. However, the seller stated that he sent it about a month ago for a service because FF800 solenoid was damaged and was replaced with a new one in authorized dealer. Technician said to him that other parts are in great shape. The seller offered me to fully test the FF800 at his place. What should i pay attention on, and should i be worried if something happens again with the interface?

The biggest problem with list (or rather its name) is that it perpetuates the incorrect knowledge that operators in scalar context return a list which is then coerced to return its last element. I'd rather have lastval() and count().
Nothing stops a CPAN module from providing these. Like you said, they're rarely needed.
