Love's Kitchen Reviews
June 23, 2011
It's quite astonishingly amateur and awful.
June 18, 2011
Gordon Ramsay must be the first man I've ever seen to be out-acted by his own hair transplant.
Top Critic
June 24, 2011
June 23, 2011
A British comedy bad enough to end careers and result in angry - and justified - calls for refunds at the box office.
June 22, 2011
A veritable banquet of awfulness.

Ham, corn and cheese are the only things this kitchen is serving up - even before Gordon Ramsay's awful cameo.
June 26, 2011
Worth a detour to avoid.
June 23, 2011
There are too many minor characters for any to be drawn in depth and the storyline is as predictable as a greasy spoon menu.
June 23, 2011
Here is a new British film with an eternal, timeless kind of embarrassing awfulness.
June 23, 2011
Love's Kitchen is a rural British romcom that appears to have been assembled by a committee of village idiots.

Trayport Signs Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO)
AEMO's development of a gas supply hub at Wallumbilla in Queensland is a significant gas market reform to increase the transparency, competition and reliability of Australia's gas supply. The Wallumbilla hub is expected to be operational by March 2014.
Trayport's ETS is a market leading, real-time matching engine and front end trading system designed specifically to enable commodity exchanges to host electronic marketplaces. The extensive flexibility of the system provides exchanges with a single solution for price dissemination, order and deal management and matching of any energy commodity globally.
Matt Zema, AEMO's Managing Director and Chief Executive said, '"There is tangible value to the market in setting up this voluntary trading hub as efficiently as possible and by using a product that is already used internationally, keeping costs to a minimum."
Elliott Piggott, CEO at Trayport said, 'We are pleased that AEMO has chosen Trayport to support trading in the new gas hub. Over 20 exchanges globally already benefit from our exchange trading solutions. Gas exchanges similar to the brokerage hub proposed by the AEMO are emerging across the globe and we are confident that our solution will support the goal of enhancing trading liquidity. We look forward to working with AEMO for a successful implementation.'
AEMO is the National Energy Market Operator and planner. AEMO plays an important role in supporting the industry to deliver a more integrated, secure, and cost effective national energy supply.

The First AA Bulletin
From - THE ALCOHOLIC FOUNDATION
Box 658, Church Street Annex, New York City
We wish to thank our many friends and
correspondents all over the country for their cooperation in keeping the
national headquarters informed of developments in the various groups. It is
through such a central exchange that vital information and contact points can be
brought to the attention of those who seek the solution to alcoholism which
means so much to us.
This bulletin is an effort to develop a mutual idea exchange sheet to establish a closer feeling of friendship between A.A. groups from the east coast to the west, and we hope it will prevent secession from the A.A. ranks of our San Francisco group who threatened to call themselves "Dipsomaniacs Incognito" unless they heard from us more frequently. A bulletin has been contemplated for some time but delayed due to lack of sufficient personnel and office facilities. We now have at least the equipment and hope to be able to make this bulletin a periodic spree (not alcoholic).
This office has in the last year handled over 2000 inquiries answering each by personal letter. In addition, correspondence is maintained with about 50 centers where A.A. work is in operation, varying from the solitary efforts of single isolated A.A. members to groups of 150.
In view of the fact that in April 1939 there were only about 100 A.A. members, and the fact that there is now a total of approximately 1400, your efforts and ours have been exceptionally worth while. Continued A.A. activity will mean a great deal not only to each of us as individuals, but also to the many who are still unaware of the fact that there is an answer to the alcoholic problem which is practicable on a large scale.
Our correspondence reaches not only the four corners of the U.S. but also touches Alaska, Africa, England, France and Australia. Although nothing of consequence has developed as yet in these distant places, nevertheless it is indicative of the widespread interest in Alcoholics Anonymous, of the far reaching results already obtained, and the possibilities for the future.
For the general information of all A.A. members, we list below those cities where there are isolated A.A. members who have recovered either through the book alone or through brief contact with established centers.
Cohoes, N.Y.
Buffalo, N.Y.
Denver, Colorado
Shelby, North Carolina
Greensboro, North Carolina
Aiken, South Carolina
Bellingham, Washington
Bismarck, North Dakota
Burlington, Vermont
Bennington, Vermont
Norfolk, Virginia
Kansas City, Missouri
St. Louis, Missouri
Knoxville, Tennessee
Eau Clare, Wisconsin
Phoenix, Arizona
There are several "working" A.A. members in each of the following cities where meetings are in a get together stage.
Pittsburgh, PA.
Boston, Mass.
Wallingford, Vermont
San Diego, California
Indianapolis, Ind.
And following is a list of communities where A.A. is well established and weekly meetings are held:
New York City, N.Y.
South Orange, N.J.
Washington, D.C.
Richmond, VA.
Detroit, Michigan
Jackson, Michigan
Coldwater, Michigan
Chicago, Illinois
Houston, Texas
Los Angeles, Calif.
San Francisco, Calif.
Evansville, Indiana
Little Rock, Arkansas
Philadelphia, PA.
Baltimore, MD.
Waunakee, Wisconsin
Greenwich, Conn.
Cleveland, Ohio
Akron, Ohio
Toledo, Ohio
Dayton, Ohio
Youngstown, Ohio
The secretary or correspondent of each group has the name and address of at least one member in each of the established groups for the use of traveling or visiting members. However, at the request of many of these groups may we ask that the New York office be used as a clearing house for all correspondence since but few local groups are equipped to handle the correspondence now coming to them from so many different directions. We shall gladly give full particulars about any of the listed communities upon request.
We all know that the A.A. solution really works if followed with patience, honesty and sincerity so we sympathize with the new prospect who said he certainly DID want to stop drinking but after listening a few minutes to our A.A. story said "Oh that!! – I tried it for two weeks and it doesn't work".
We shall appreciate receiving ideas, suggestions, criticisms, etc. of general interest for the purpose of this bulletin is to relate the many A.A.
groups in a friendly spirit.
So best regards to all and let us hear from you at any and all times.
Ruth Hock (signed)
Since it is not possible at the present time for us to furnish enough copies for distribution to every A.A. member, perhaps you will feel it advisable to read this copy aloud at a meeting.
(Our thanks to "Barefoot Bill!" for the above information!)

SWC holds off RRC, 69-66
LUVERNE -- A 12-2 surge in a near three-minute span gave third-seeded Southwest Christian a 12-point lead with 4:13 left to play Tuesday night, and the Eagles survived a furious late-game comeback from second-seeded Red Rock Central to claim a thrilling 69-66 victory over the Falcons in the semifinals of the Section 3A South girls' basketball tournament.
SWC, which has won 12 of its last 13 games and is now 19-5 overall, advances to the Section 3A title game Friday night. The Eagles will take on the top-seeded Adrian Dragons at SMSU in Marshall at 6 p.m.
"I'm really proud of my girls, as they showed a lot of mental toughness and perseverance tonight," SWC head coach Denise Nerem said after the game. "We didn't take care of the ball very well tonight, but we did get it inside and also rebounded very well. RRC deserves a lot of credit, too, as they have a fantastic team."
RRC, which finishes its season with a 22-4 record, rallied from a 59-47 deficit in the final 4:13 of the second half and trailed by just one point (67-66) with 19 seconds remaining following a deep 3-pointer in the right corner from senior Krystle Sell -- who fired in 16 points in each half for a game-high 32 points.
Sell's shot capped a 19-8 Falcons' burst, which was started by back-to-back mid-range shots from sophomore Alyssa Fredrickson and junior Stephanie Maras (six points) 12 seconds apart to make it 59-51 at the 3:50 mark
RRC was later within five (61-56) at the 1:43 mark thanks to an 18-foot swisher from the left wing by junior Jenna Smith (six points) and a driving basket and a free throw (three-point play) from senior Thea Engen (seven points, six rebounds).
SWC's Brianna Spronk, a senior who scored a team-best 25 points and grabbed seven rebounds, sank a pair of free throws four seconds after taking a charge on the defensive end to give the Eagles a 63-56 lead with 1:14 to play.
After a free throw apiece from Fredrickson and Eagle senior Angie Vermeer (eight rebounds) made it 64-57, Sell buried a long 3-pointer from the right wing to bring RRC within four (64-60) with 41 seconds left.
Spronk, who was 9-for-10 from the free-throw line (all in the second half), netted a pair of foul shots to make it 66-60 four seconds later, but RRC again had an answer -- this time from senior Emily Neperman (five points, four steals), who drained a 3-pointer in the left corner to create a three-point spread (66-63) with 29 seconds left.
Junior Kayla Broekhuis (17 points, seven steals) gave SWC a 67-63 lead with a free throw with 23.9 seconds to go, and Sell responded with her 3-pointer in the right corner on the ensuing possession.
Out of timeouts and forced to foul, RRC sent Broekhuis to the free-throw line with 14.9 seconds left. Broekhuis drilled both shots to put the Eagles up 69-66, and the Falcons came right back with another good look from behind the arc.
Neperman's 3-point attempt from the right wing rattled in-and-out, and Vermeer secured the rebound with 4.2 seconds left.
However, Vermeer was off the mark on both shots -- giving RRC one last chance. But the Falcons committed one of their 27 turnovers as time expired, and the Eagles escaped with the exciting victory.
"It wasn't too pretty and it's a challenge playing against a team like SWC, but you can't say our girls didn't hustle or play hard," RRC head coach Jeff Shaner said. "We had too many turnovers and didn't rebound the ball very well tonight, but we had some chances and certainly showed a lot of heart by coming back like we did."
While the Falcons committed 27 turnovers, they also forced 27 turnovers by the Eagles. SWC, though, held a commanding 40-22 advantage on the boards, including several offensive rebounds that led to multiple second chances.
SWC got four consecutive defensive stops to start the game and scored on its first four possessions, bolting out to a quick 8-0 lead with 15:36 left in the first half.
Spronk scored in transition and went coast-to-coast for a layup in the first 1:03, while Broekhuis swished an 18-footer from out top at the 15:43 mark and converted a steal in the backcourt into a layup seven seconds later to spark the Eagles.
The Eagles stayed in control and had a 14-8 lead following a put-back basket by junior Vayla Van Dyke (six points) at the 11:10 mark. Spronk, who scored 14 first-half points, added a couple of hoops to help SWC in that stretch.
RRC gradually started to cut into the Eagles' led, as Sell scored on a couple of fast-breaks, sophomore Cierra Nickel (six rebounds, five points) passed to Maras for a mid-range shot, and Smith dished to junior Nichole Schroeder for a hoop to finish a slick press-breaker -- helping the Falcons pull within 14-12 with 10:15 to go.
Maras gave RRC its first lead (18-16) at the 7:28 mark with an offensive-rebound basket following her own missed shot. Sell dialed in a pair of left-wing 3-pointers to give the Falcons a 24-20 lead with 6:19 remaining.
SWC, which was 20-for-27 from the free-throw line, regained the lead with 4:27 to go, as Spronk scored off a drive-and-dish from Broekhuis in transition to make it 27-26 Eagles.
SWC took a 33-28 halftime lead, and junior Kara Van Dyke (10 rebounds, nine points) twice gave the Eagles a nine-point lead (37-28 and 39-30) in the first 3:15 of the second half with two free throws at the 15:25 mark and an offensive-rebound basket 40 seconds later.
Junior Jada Vander Veen (nine points, eight rebounds, four assists, three steals) later scored on the left block and netted two free throws to help SWC open up a 10-point lead (43-33) with 12:49 remaining.
However, Sell scored eight points in a 40-second span (from the 12:12 mark to the 11:32 mark) to get the Falcons within four (45-41). Sell (five steals) completed a nifty fast-break with a basket and nailed a 3-pointer from the top of the key to highlight that streak.
RRC was within two (47-45) following a pair of free throws by Nickel with 7:38 left, but the Eagles countered with a 12-2 burst take the game's largest lead.
Spronk's offensive-rebound basket at the 7:10 mark started that run, while Broekhuis converted another steal in the backcourt into a layup just seven seconds later.
Broekhuis meshed a left-elbow jumper with 6:35 to go, and Vayla Van Dyke scored in the paint with 5:33 left to account for SWC's next four points.
Spronk and Broekhuis then went 2-for-2 apiece from the free-throw line on back-to-back possessions to put the Eagles up 59-47 with 4:13 remaining -- setting the stage for RRC's wild rally and near comeback victory.
SWC (3PT-2PT-FT-TP): Broekhuis 0-6-5-17, Vermeer 0-1-1-3, K. Van Dyke 0-3-3-9, Ja. Vander Veen 1-2-2-9, V. Van Dyke 0-3-0-6, Spronk 0-8-9-25. Totals: 1-23-20-69.
RRC (3PT-2PT-FT-TP): Nickel 1-0-2-5, Sell 5-7-3-32, Maras 0-3-0-6, Smith 0-2-2-6, Engen 0-3-1-7, Schroeder 0-1-0-2, Neperman 1-1-0-5, Fredrickson 0-1-1-3. Totals: 7-18-9-66.

Spurs seal Mido loan deal
By Patrick Goss
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Mido has agreed an 18-month loan move to Tottenham Hotspur.Egyptian striker Mido has agreed an 18-month loan move to Tottenham Hotspur from Italian club Roma, with Mounir El Hamdaoui also sealing a three-and-a-half year deal.
The talented forward has found himself on the periphery in Serie A, and was keen to rekindle his career in England.
Spurs have now sealed a lengthy loan deal for the North African, with Martin Jol keen to add to an already talented stable of strikers at the club.
"The club is delighted to announce that it has agreed terms with Roma and Mido for the highly-rated striker to join us on an 18-month loan, subject to the completion of formalities over the next couple of days," read a statement on Spurs' official website.
The former Ajax and Marseille star has undoubted talent, but has attracted a bad boy tag in the past two years.
Spurs also announced the permanent capture of El Hamdaoui on a three-and-a-half year deal.
"The club is also delighted to announce that it has likewise agreed terms with Mounir El Hamdaoui and Excelsior Rotterdam for the striker to join us on a three-and-a-half year contract, also subject to the completion of formalities," continued the statement.
"El Hamdaoui formerly represented Holland at Under-21 level and recently pledged his international future to Morocco."

With special-teams ace Kassim Osgood re-signing on Monday with the San Francisco 49ers, their list of unrestricted free agents is dwindling. Let's take a look:Perrish Cox: The 49ers brought back Eric Wright and signed Chris Cook from Minnesota. I wouldn't close the door on Cox, who played well in the playoffs, coming back at some point, but he's clearly not a priority.Jonathan Goodwin: I could also see Goodwin coming back at some point, perhaps after the 49ers take a look at their young centers.

There's Still Time for Monster Sized Family Fun at Monster Jam® Triple Threat Series™ {Cleveland, Ohio – February 19th 2017}
Today was the day! Monster Jam rolled into Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio and my girls were ready to see the Monster Jam® Triple Threat Series™ live. Typically we make our Monster Jam outings a family event, but Lilah wasn't too fond of how loud the trucks were last year so she and Willow decided to have a fun day with their nan and pap. After dropping them off Dustin, Alleigh, Kaelyn, and I headed to Cleveland for an afternoon of monster sized action. Before the 1pm performance we had the opportunity to attend a Monster Jam® Pit Party … …..

There's Still Time to Attend Disney On Ice in Cleveland, Ohio!
This past Sunday we took the girls to Disney On Ice presents Follow Your Heart at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio. We have taken our girls to many Disney On Ice events and they never disappoint, but this year was especially magical because all four girls were at an age that they truly enjoyed every minute of the performance. These three were absolutely zoned out absorbing every minute while Willow was singing and dancing in the aisle. Check out this brief description of what we experienced at the show… Follow your heart straight to adventure at Disney On Ice! … …..

Disney On Ice presents Follow Your Heart is Skating into Cleveland, Ohio January 6th-15th 2017
When it comes to Disney movies all four of my girls are huge fans. I keep toying with the idea of planning a Disney World vacation, but I'm not sure it's quite the best idea yet. My two youngest daughters love the characters from afar, but if anyone in costume gets too close to them ear deafening shrieks escape their adorable little mouths. And those aren't shrieks of delight. Nope, they are pure terror. Since they do love the characters within a nice distance from themselves the next best option for us is Disney On Ice. The girls are very … …..

Head to Cleveland for Some Monster Sized Fun at a Lake Erie Monsters Hockey Game!
Boys liking sports more than girls is one of those stereotypes that my girls happily break. They love to kick back on the couch and watch every sport imaginable with their daddy. But what they enjoy even more is attending live sporting events. We have taken them to basketball, football, and baseball games which they absolutely loved and so when given the opportunity to attend a Lake Erie Monsters hockey game I knew we couldn't pass it up! And so about two weeks ago we piled in the car and headed up to Cleveland to attend the game at Quicken … …..

Disney On Ice Presents Let's Celebrate! A Year's Worth of Fun Packed Into One Show! {Cleveland, Ohio 1/10 – 1/19 2014}
On Friday evening my sister joined me and the girls on a trip to Cleveland to attend Disney On Ice presents Let's Celebrate. It's becoming a bit of a tradition to attend each year with the girls and they were super excited. Kaelyn kept asking if her favorite characters from her favorite movies would be there – The Princess and the Frog and any of the Toy Story movies. She absolutely adores Tiana, Woody, Buzz, and Jessie. In fact for Christmas this year she received a Tiana doll from her Aunt Courtney as well as Woody and Jessie pull string … …..

Is your blog being found by search engines, referrals, or direct (bookmarks, or someone types in your blog URL)?
I have two blogs, and interestingly enough, readers are finding this blog, by referrals, almost exclusively. (A lot of my referrals, become "direct", due to bookmarking.)
My second blog, Observation Mountain.com , is being found mostly by the search engines (keyword phrases), and by a much smaller amount of referrals.
This blog is, what would be considered a niche blog, but Observation Mountain.com, isn't (it's a more of a blog on off-beat subjects).
But, the traffic on Observation Mountain.com (OM), is almost 50% higher than this blog. (so much for having to have a niche blog, to succeed)
The small amount of money I have made by using Google AdSense and affiliate ads, is mostly attributed to my OM blog.
On both blogs, I try to use keyword density (to a degree). But obviously, it's working better for my OM blog. Plus, …keyword phrases, for most blogging information, is a pretty saturated market.
For both blogs, I post approximately 20 days out of the month, thus insuring that my blogs get crawled on a regular basis.
Having watched the trends for both blogs for several months, I attribute the numbers to this:
When I am commenting on other blogs, I intentionally use the URL for Blogging Without A Blog (about 90% of the time). Hence, readers are clicking on my comments, and coming to visit this blog, i.e. creating referrals. Thank you!
With regard to Google AdSense, for this blog, I feel most of my readers, are bloggers, or aspiring bloggers. You are not "ad clickers". You are blogging, or wanting to learn, and are on my site for content about blogging. You understand why the ads are on my site, plus, you know the ad is only going to lead to you being asked to "buy" something. That's not why you came to my site. You want to gain whatever information you can from my site, and move on. It's back to blogging, and/or micro managing your site. Time is of the essence.
On my OM blog, the posts are more casual. My readers are probably just enjoying, leisurely surfing the web, sipping their favorite beverage. They may read a few pages, click a few ads or links, and move on to their next search. A search engine may have brought them to my site, due to a search for a product review for Ecos Laundry Detergent, or they may be a parent , looking for help, and found my post titled: Children With Autism – Help for Parents
At times, I am both types of web "surfer".
What I do find interesting….. is that what works for one blog, doesn't necessarily work for the other.
With that being said, I believe your stats can reveal a lot, thus giving a blogger insight into how to drive more traffic to their site.
To put all of this in perspective, what I found is this:
1) Having a niche blog, doesn't necessarily mean it will be more popular, than a non-niche blog.
2) Leaving meaningful comments on other blogs, definitely drives traffic back to your blog.
3) Keyword density will work well for some subjects, but not for others…it all depends how saturated the subject market is.
4) Your stats reveal more information, than just traffic counts
HINT Not sure where your traffic is coming from? Check your stats.
Listed below, are four statistical programs, and how you can find out if your traffic is coming from search engines, referrals or direct traffic.
AWStats has a section that reads:
"Connect To Site From"
"Direct address/bookmarks"
"Links From a Newsgroup"
"Links from an internal search engine"
"Links from an external page": i.e. referrals
"Search Key Phrases"
"Search Key Words"
WordPress.com stats lists
"Referrers" (which also includes direct traffic)
"Search Engine Terms"
Webalizer lists:
"Top Referrers"
"Search Strings"
Google Analytics lists, under "traffic sources"
"Direct Traffic"
"Referring Sites"
"Search Engines"
Google also provides a graph (traffic sources overview), with percentages.
And, provides maps for greater breakdown
If you use a statistical program that is not listed, take time to review the information they are providing, to determine how visitors are finding your site.
Today's Lesson:
If you blog about a subject, that lots of others blog about (saturated keyword market), your best bet is to start visiting other blogs, and leaving meaningful comments. This will help others to find your blog, and develop a steady readership. (Make sure you are providing great content, not only in your blog, but also in your comments!) Using keyword density is still important, but your posts may not be indexed in the first three pages of a search engine, and may never be found. Using social networks such as Digg or Del.icio.us, may also help to bring some sporadic traffic to your site. Submitting your blog posts to blog carnivals and/or blog registries are time consuming processes, but may help to also increase your readership.
If you are getting ample traffic, from search strings, continue to concentrate on keyword density. It's working. Commenting on other blogs, will help bring additional traffic to your site, as well.
Today's Assignment
Find out where is your traffic coming from:
Search Engines?
Drop me a comment…let me know your answer. 🙂

September 22, Port Elizabeth: It was carnival time at St George's Park when Chennai Super Kings took on local favourites and Pro20 Series champions Warriors in the final Group A encounter. The spectators were at their rambunctious best, cheering every opposition run stopped, applauding every boundary hit by the home side. The trumpets and trombones were out playing at full blare, setting the perfect stage for this high octane clash between two prospective semi-finalist teams from Group A. Rudi Koertzen couldn't have asked for a better atmosphere at the start of his final game on his home ground.
MS Dhoni's luck with the toss continued and the Chennai captain opted to bat first on a wicket which had proved to be on the slower side in the earlier game between Wayamba and Central Stags. Dhoni wasn't lucky enough to have Albie Morkel in the side, though - the all-rounder is yet to recover from a side strain.
Michael Hussey and M Vijay started in similar fashion in their game against the Victorian Bushrangers. The duo held steady while putting on 37 runs in the first six overs without losing any wicket. Vijay then changed gears and hit Nicky Boje for 16 runs in the seventh over, but this proved to be a minor aberration in what was to otherwise be a very tidy bowling performance by the Warriors.
Justin Kreusch's introduction into the attack paid immediate dividends as the medium pacer struck three crucial blows to keep Chennai in check. Vijay, Suresh Raina and S Badrinath all fell to Kreusch and with Hussey falling to Johan Botha after a well paced half-century, the Kings were against the ropes. Dhoni's 21-ball 31 got them to 136 but for a side battling for a place in the semi-final against two other teams (Bushrangers included), this was a most ordinary score. And with the Warriors needing to make only a 109 runs to qualify for the semi-final, irrespective of the result, the pressure was most certainly on CSK.
Yet, Chennai weren't about to roll over. The St George's Park wicket favoured the slower bowlers and with the addition of Shadab Jakati in their ranks, CSK must have believed at the halfway stage that they could still win this game.
Doug Bollinger came steaming in and R Ashwin bowled his unorthodox spin with the guile of a veteran. The Warriors' openers were kept in check and Ashwell Prince was caught brilliantly at slip by Justin Kemp in trying to break free of the shackles. Davey Jacobs, the man in form for the Warriors, was in no mood to surrender the advantage. He hit a couple of boundaries to the mid-wicket fence and long-on, but got out to Jakati having made 32 off just 31 deliveries. Colin Ingram's horrid run at CLT20 continued when he was dismissed by Suresh Raina. At 63 for 3 in 11.3 overs, Chennai had clawed their way right back into this match.
Justin Kreusch then struck a handy 44-run partnership with Mark Boucher off 35 balls and the duo were looking to not only take the Warriors past the qualifying mark, but also knock Chennai out of the competition with a victory to the home side. Dhoni then brought on Ashwin to bowl the 18th over and the spinner got rid of both batsmen - but not before Boucher had steered the Warriors past the qualifying mark of 109. And with 25 required off the last two overs, Bollinger and Muralitharan took a few wickets to keep the Warriors' total down to 126 and hand Chennai a famous win.
After the fascinating game, Rudi Koertzen took a victory lap to mark the end of his umpiring career. It was also the end of Victorian Bushrangers' CLT20 campaign. Over to the semis.
Brief Scores – Chennai Super Kings 136 for 6 (Michael Hussey 50, Murali Vijay 35, Justin Kreusch 3-19) beat Warriors 126 for 8 (Davey Jacobs 32, Justin Kreusch 25, Mark Boucher 25, R Ashwin 3-24) by 10 runs
Man-of-the-match – Mike Hussey for his knock of 50 runs on a difficult wicket and his two outstanding catches.

John Howard for knighthood
King Edward III, King of England in the 14th century, was equally covetous of the throne of France. When he and his son, the Black Prince, returned from their great victories at Crécy in 1346, and the surrender of Calais, he celebrated with a series of tournaments.
This idea the King developed into an order of chivalry, founding the Order of the Garter in 1348 and establishing the College of St George at Windsor Castle. In 1485, in the reign of Edward IV, a new St George's Chapel was begun - and finished in 1528. It serves as the spiritual home of the Order of the Garter.
On St George's Day, this year, 23 April, the Queen and Prince Philip will be attending a service of Thanksgiving at the chapel.
This celebrates the 660th anniversary of the founding of the Garter, but also the 60th anniversary of the reintroduction of the annual Garter service, with investiture in the Garter Throne Room, procession through the castle and installation in St George's Chapel.
Exactly 60 years to the day, the young Princess Elizabeth and her new husband, Prince Philip walked down that same hill to be installed by her father, King George VI.
Since its foundation, the reigning King or Queen has always been Sovereign of the Garter and the Prince of Wales is by right a Knight of the Garter. Then there is a complement of 24 Knights.
In the olden days there used to be jousts with 12 knights to each side. Many of the Founder Knights had fought at the battles of Crécy and Poitiers, and through the long history of the Order, it has included some of the greatest names in British history - the Princes in the Tower, the Dukes of Marlborough and Wellington, Disraeli, Churchill and Kitchener of Khartoum.
There have been foreign Emperors, Kings, and Princes, powerful figures in the land, great warriors, and British Prime Ministers. Currently Lady Thatcher and Sir John Major are both Companions.
It is has always been and still remains the grandest and most coveted honour amongst all the Orders of Chivalry. By recent tradition the Queen has chosen St George's Day to announce new appointments to the Garter. Inevitably rumours circulate as to who might be chosen. In Britain, Lord Luce, the former Lord Chamberlain, is one name mentioned.
Given that presently the Order will reach the 1000th Knight, it is not impossible that the Queen might appoint Prince William, as he will one day be a future Sovereign. (Prince Charles was installed shortly in 1968 before his 20th birthday.)
Another much mooted candidate is the recently retired Prime Minister, John Howard.
His qualifications are certainly impressive. The most eminent Prime Minister since Robert Menzies (who took the Order of the Thistle by choice in 1963), he held office for 11 and a half years. His devotion to the monarchy in Australia and to the Commonwealth is almost certainly impossible for a future Australian Prime Minister to repeat.
In the 1960s the Queen widened the scope of the Garter to make appointments in Australia and New Zealand. Two Governors-General, Lord Casey (1969) and Sir Paul Hasluck (1979) were so honoured. Sir Ninian Stephen, Governor-General from 1982-89, is currently a Garter Knight (1994). In New Zealand there were Marshal of the RAF Lord Elworthy (1977), Sir Keith Holyoake (Prime Minister and Governor-General, 1980) and the conqueror of Mount Everest, Sir Edmund Hillary (1995). So there are noble precedents.
Some may say that titles such as knighthoods should no longer be given in Australia, and since 1975 there has been an alternative in the Order of Australia. But this does not apply to non-political honours in the personal gift of the Queen. Sir David Smith, the Governor-General's Official Secretary, for example, was given a KCVO in 1990, and his successor a CVO.
At present there are two vacancies in the Garter, so two new ones are likely to be chosen. The Queen likes to appoint at least two at a time, sometimes as many as four if she can, because the process of investing them into their splendid robes takes up a large part of a morning. To the two new ones she could add Prince William as an Extra Knight.
The Queen loves the Commonwealth, which she has made the particular focus of her reign. She was the first reigning British monarch to have visited Australia as its Queen, and has revisited Australia numerous times since her first long tour in 1954.
She never fails to attend the Commonwealth Prime Ministers' Conference, most recently in Uganda last year. She keeps in touch with her Commonwealth Prime Ministers and has known a great number of them over the years.
The appointment of John Howard as a Knight of the Garter would be a popular one in Britain and serve as a further bond between two key countries in the Commonwealth, Australia and Great Britain. It would be interesting to know if he has anything in his diary for Monday 16 June, the date of the next Garter ceremony.

Visualizing Bernoulli's Principle March 26, 2013Posted by hcavendish in Uncategorized.

add a comment
While it's conceptually inaccurate, Bernoulli's Priniciple can be compared to an interstate highway. If the cars slow down due to traffic, they gather closer together and add more weight to the underlying roadway. The falsehood in this concept lies in the fact that the number of gas molecules don't increase, only the number of transverse and counter-directional collisions.
Imagining the air in a room as bumper car rink, with the individual molecules of air as cars, we can see that the pressure will decrease in the lateral and obverse directions if all the cars are directed towards the same wall. The wall that the cars strike will experience an increase in pressure.
Capital punishment is alive and well, but more states are giving it the death penalty March 17, 2013Posted by hcavendish in Uncategorized.
Tags: abolition, Capital offense, Capital Punishment, Death Penalty, Execution, Maryland, United States
add a comment
The recent decision by the Maryland state legislature to abolish capital punishment makes Maryland the 18th U.S. State to give the death penalty its own death sentence. As of March 16th of 2013, the states which have no legal form of capital punishment are listed with the date of abolition and include: Wisconsin (1853), West Virginia (1965), Vermont (1964), Rhode Island (1984), North Dakota (1973), New York (2007), New Mexico (2009), New Jersey (2007), Minnesota (1911), Michigan (1846), Massachusetts (1984), Maryland (2013), Maine (1887), Iowa (1965), Illinois (2011), Hawaii (1957), Connecticut (2012), and Alaska (1957)[1]. While still in the minority, these states are kept in good company by the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and a host of overseas territories. The federal government of the United States and the U.S. Armed services, on the other hand, reserve the capacity to perform executions for capital offenses.
I know that it's an old saw among English instructors that freshman composition classes always want to write about topics like abortion, immigration, and of course capital punishment, but I never took such a class so this is new to me. To put it bluntly, I am an opponent of capital punishment; I am also a human being. When I read about the suffering of other human beings at the hands of violent or treacherous criminals, I have the same reaction of anger, disgust, and fear that anyone else would, but I temper these base feelings with the ideals that I strive to uphold. In a not too distant conversation with my wife, she confessed that she wanted a confessed murderer and rapist to die for the crimes that he comitted. My reply was that I too can want a thing, yet still realize that wanting it is wrong.
To me, capital punishment is immoral to its core and simply a placation of our instincts toward wrath and retribution. The foremost issue that favors abolishing capital punishment is the difficulty inherent in establishing the guilt of the accused. This alone should be reason enough to abolish the death penalty, given that countless confessed criminals have later been exonerated of crimes by contradictory evidence in cases ranging from murder to rape. Guilt, grief, and the questioning tactics employed by investigators can all contribute to a person giving a false confession and legal professionals know this [2]. So, too, can faulty evidence collection and handling techniques lead to errors in analysis and false convictions. It is for these reasons that guilt can be in question despite the best efforts of everyone involved in the legal process.
Second in importance is the issue of fairness with regard to sentencing. While we idealize our justice system as a mechanical process devoid of prejudice or bias, the reality is that many things that shouldn't contribute to the outcome of cases do play a role. This is reflected in statistically significant differences in conviction rates and sentencing for crimes based on factors ranging from income to gender, and most notoriously by race. I expect that every one of us, to the last man or woman would hope to have a jury like the one described in Twelve Angry Men were we wrongfully accused of a crime, yet juror selection frequently weeds out exactly the type of people with strong convictions, and the death qualification process significantly alters the composition of juries to include fewer minorities and women. Most damning of all, the death qualification process also produces juries that render higher conviction rates than their unscreened counterparts[3].
While many states have abolished the death penalty based on the economic inefficiency of the appeals process, I plan to handle this summarily. Quite simply, due to the numerous procedural hurdles that have been built into the legal system to guard against both wrongful convictions and unfair trials, it is more expensive to sentence a convicted prisoner to death than to imprison him or her for life. Obviously, this is a necessary safeguard for an irreversible verdict. Yet while a hotly contested debate continues over whether capital punishment serves as a deterrent against violent crime, the cost of prosecuting capital cases diminishes the funding available for proven deterrents such as additional law enforcement personnel.
The final piece of the puzzle regarding capital punishment are the moral issues which manifest themselves. Naturally, the argument differs from person to person depending on their unique philosophy and values. To briefly explain mine, I have three objections. First, I feel that it is deeply disturbing that the state employs people for the purpose of killing other human beings who are in a state of incapacitation. This differs greatly from giving a soldier, police officer, or even a private citizen the authorization to use deadly force in protecting themselves from harm. Instead, it is a clinical and highly procedural way of ending the life of another human being who has been rendered to a state of helplessness.
Second, I feel that retribution should not be the primary goal of the justice system. Altogether, I strongly lean towards the rehabilitation of criminals over the use of punitive actions. While I understand that most persons convicted of capital crimes would otherwise never be eligible for reintroduction to society, I wonder if they can play a useful role in determining the best methods of rehabilitating less violent offenders. In other words, I am advocating using capital punishment worthy criminals as guinea pigs for rehabilitative psychology and conditioning.
Finally and most importantly, I fear that execution prevents the condemned from making progress toward redemption. Redemption has no outwardly verifiable effects, but occurs within the mind and soul of the individual. It is the act of coming to terms with one's self and with it one's baser instincts and vile inclinations. Christians see redemption as the bestowal of forgiveness by God, while Muslims view it as a form of surrender, and stoics think of it as a process of separating themselves from their emotional ties, but prophets, philosophers, and kings have all sought the redemption of their selves. When a person, even a guilty person, is sentenced to death and executed, where is the redemption? Of course, some traditions maintain that redemption can be conferred as with the granting of abolition by a Catholic priest, but not everyone holds this view. Instead, I feel that the remorseful and contrite should be afforded this one act of grace and granted the time they need to make peace with their inner demons without the duress of condemnation.
The fact of the matter is that the number of countries that officially sanction capital punishment has been shrinking in modern times, such that the United States finds itself increasingly isolated on this issue among its international peers. Instead, capital punishment is retained in use by countries which we would be hesistant to be associated with on any other list. As of 2011, the only countries to conduct more executions than the United States are China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq [4]. Since then, Connecticut and now Maryland have banned the use of capital punishment; it will be interesting to see if countries like North Korea and Yemen will surpass the U.S. now that these states are no longer sentencing prisoners to death row.

Google lied for me. February 17, 2013Posted by hcavendish in Uncategorized.
add a comment
In an earlier post, I mentioned that my undergraduate thesis was now listed on Google books, though not viewable or previewable or anything fancy like that. It's interesting to note, however, that I couldn't recall having actually written the sixty-eight pages that Google listed it as containing. Was this possible? did I somehow write a sixty-eight page manifesto? I couldn't remember how long my actual thesis was but this seemed to me to be too much. I've since looked into it, however, and found that in fact my thesis is just under half that length. It was still a lot of work mind you, and I still have nightmares about for sure, but at least I didn't sleep through writing half of it like I initially feared I might have. Still, this begs the question, why did Google lie on my behalf? Is it because they had no idea and simply offered a wild guess as to the number of pages, or perhaps a simple typo caused the discrepancy? Then again, it could be that they measured page layout by a different metric than the word file that I've kept during the intervening years. Maybe we'll never know, but it's still cool to think that something, and now several somethings I've written are on the internet.
Emergency services paper. February 12, 2013Posted by hcavendish in Uncategorized.
add a comment
While grazing on the gentle slopes of the internet today, I found an interesting paper that published jointlyby the National Academy of Sciences and the National Research Council way back in '66. Apparently, they were concerned that the risk of dying after suffering from a traumatic accident was higher virtually anywhere in the United States than it was if wounded on a foreign battlefield. The reason for this travesty? Poor quality emergency medical services. From untrained emergency responders to ill-equipped or even non-existent emergency rooms, the paper highlights the numerous inadequacies in emergency care found in mid-sixties America. The paper then goes on to address numerous ways to improve the function of emergency medical services by recommending standard practices, licensing, and equipment for emergency medical services. I've linked the paper below for your evaluation; fun reading.
Looking for a Career. February 7, 2013Posted by hcavendish in Uncategorized.
add a comment
Over the past two Saturdays I attended a career exploration workshop. It was enlightening to say the least. Before we went, I and the other attendees were given a battery of assessments including the Meyers-Briggs, Gallup's Strength quest and another that I can't remember to evaluate our aptitudes and strengths as well as some areas that we might be interested in.
In the workshop, we were asked to talk a little bit about our past work experience, arrange a number of predefined values that we held and how important it was that they be reflected in our working life. Finally, we were given some suggestions for careers to pursue, as well as how to proceed in searching for such a career.
Some of the closing suggestions that I received were a little bit outside the box. I really liked the idea of being a fact-checker or a grant writer for instance, but had never considered such positions to reflect actual career goals. Meanwhile, some of the other suggestions that were made to me were promising too. I could see myself training others as part of an HR department for instance.
Bye the way, in case your wondering I came up as an INTP. Now I just need to figure out how to use that.
Thanks Scholars' College and Google Books! February 4, 2013Posted by hcavendish in Uncategorized.
add a comment
Recently, I discovered that my undergraduate thesis from the Louisiana Scholars' College turns up on Google books. It's not viewable or available for purchase of anything, but it's there as a testament to my efforts years ago. Well, that's something isn't it? I don't know what to make of it really. After all these years trying to leave as little of a presence on the internet as possible I've finally started a blog, signed back up for facebook earlier today, and begun making myself heard in one dark, tiny corner of the internet at a time, and suddenly I find that I've been here all along.
It's like finding out I have a doppelganger that I didn't know about. As a brother of two twins let me just say that's kinda weird. In fact, before I even finalized my facebook account earlier, one of my brothers had added me as a friend and messaged me. Talk about privacy! I guess I'll just have to get used to the idea that there's no such thing anymore.
A link to the listing of my thesis is below:
Dabbling in Graphics January 19, 2013Posted by hcavendish in Uncategorized.
add a comment
Over Christmas, I decided to dabble a little in creating graphics of my very own. Eventually, I would like to get good enough to spiff up my little corner of the internet with a wicked cool logo of a foamy rabbit sticking his head out of a top hat, but that's probably in the distant future. For now I created a little emblem for my friends at Acquistapace's Supermarket in Covington, Louisiana. I've already incorporated it into a letterhead and plan to see if they'll consider using it. We'll see what they think sometime in the next couple of weeks. Until then, here's the basic image; it looks terrible here since it's been blown up and watermarked, but you get the idea.
Lagniappe, Kisses, and Granny Death Grips. October 25, 2012Posted by hcavendish in Uncategorized.
add a comment
Lagniappe is an interesting little word employed to describe a little something extra which a merchant offers to his customers. The word is popular in southern Louisiana and has its origins in the confluence of French and Spanish traditions. Mark Twain famously lauded the term and its execution in Life on the Mississippi, declaring that a trip to New Orleans was worth the trouble just to have such a term at one's disposal.
When I was a cashier at World Market, I was given a number of stylish reusable bags to offer as lagniappe to customers as they checked out. That weekend, I passed them out and most of our clientele responded to this gesture gracefully: either with subdued thanks or mild appreciation.
Early Sunday, however, I found myself nearing the bottom of my last stack of these complimentary bags when a vivacious and athletic older lady approached my counter with an armful of merchandise. This was no ordinary older woman; everything from her tall, trim stature to the muscular legs revealed by her running shorts conveyed the notion that she was an athlete. Her retirement years had done nothing but provide her with more time to attain a peak physical condition that men and women half her apparent age of 60 or so could only envy. Thus when she asked me if she could have two of the aforementioned sacks to use as gift bags for her grandchildren's birthdays I viewed her less as a sweet and venerable old granny than as a warrior; and Amazonian warriors need no favors.
With an eye towards not running out I momentarily resisted, "I'm afraid that I can't do that Miss. I'm almost out as it is and there are bound to be people who don't get one before the weekend is up."
"Aww, come on," she insisted. "I'll give you a kiss if you give me two!"
"That's quite alright miss," I replied. "I just don't want to be unfair to the other customers."
"I may be eighty-two, but I biked fifty miles just last week, can you do that?" At this point, she reached across the counter and wrapped her fingers around the back of my neck, pulling me closer. "Come on, I said I would kiss you! I meant it."
Had my whole body not locked up out of shock at this point, I probably would have been pulled into her waiting lips seeing as she caught me completely off-guard. Thankfully, sensing my discomfort from my startled gasp and terrified expression, she let me go.
Pulling away, I hastily agreed, "I'm sorry I didn't know it meant so much to you, here's another."
"Oh thank you, I appreciate it!" And with that, she happily strolled out of the store leaving me to unsteadily serve the next, equally-shocked customer: a pretty, young woman from whom I never received such an offer.

To achieve the best results set up cultures with several different inocula (e.g. 0.25 ml, 0.5 ml, 1.0 ml). Harvest cell cultures and pool when the lowest inoculum is at or near peak density. 2. If the cell concentration exceeds the required level do not centrifuge, but adjust the concentration to between 2 x 106 and 2 x 107cysts/ml with fresh medium. If the concentration is too low, centrifuge at 600 x g for 5 min and resuspend the pellet in the volume of fresh medium required to yield the desired concentration. 3. While cells are centrifuging prepare a 15% (v/v) solution of sterile DMSO as follows: Add the required volume of DMSO to a glass screw-capped test tube and place it in an ice bath. Allow the DMSO to solidify. Add the required volume of refrigerated medium. Dissolve the DMSO by inverting the tube several times. *NOTE: If the DMSO solution is not prepared on ice, an exothermic reaction will occur that may precipitate certain components of the medium. 4. Mix the cell preparation and the DMSO in equal portions. Thus, the final concentration will be between 106 and 107 cells/ml and 7.5% (v/v) DMSO. The time from the mixing of the cell preparation and DMSO stock solution before the freezing process is begun should be no less than 15 min and no longer than 60 min. 5. Dispense in 0.5 ml aliquots into 1.0 - 2.0 ml sterile plastic screw-capped cryules (special plastic vials for cryopreservation). 6. Place the vials in a controlled rate freezing unit. From room temperature cool at -1°C/min to -40°C. If the freezing unit can compensate for the heat of fusion, maintain rate at -1°C/min through the heat of fusion. At -40°C plunge into liquid nitrogen. Alternatively, place the vials in a Nalgene 1°C freezing apparatus. Place the apparatus at -80°C for 1.5 to 2 hours and then plunge ampules into liquid nitrogen. (The cooling rate in this apparatus is approximately -1°C/min.) 7. The frozen preparations are stored in either the vapor or liquid phase of a nitrogen freezer. 8. To establish a culture from the frozen state place an ampule in a water bath set at 35°C (2-3 min). Immerse the vial just sufficient to cover the frozen material. Do not agitate the vial. 9. Immediately after thawing, aseptically remove the contents of the ampule and inoculate into 10 ml of fresh ATCC medium 1034 in a T-25 tissue culture flask. Incubate at 25°C.
