Homegrown Music Festival: An old band with a new name
A band's name change can be a tricky thing in the music biz.
So why bother?
"We didn't want to get sued," said Tony Petersen, the banjo player for the band formerly known as Diet Folk.
He's only kind of kidding. Diet Folk does sound like Diet Coke.
But there were other reasons, too, that the band chose to re-finagle URLs and shelve the Diet Folk T-shirts. The group wanted a more serious name with longevity. And it didn't want to get characterized as just a folk act, Petersen said.
"There's a producer helping us produce an album," he said. "He recommended we change the name to Dedric Clark and the something-something."
The old band with a new name plays at 10:30 p.m. Monday at Carmody Irish Pub as part of the Homegrown Music Festival, which features more than 200 bands playing at venues in the Twin Ports through Sunday. DC and The Social Animals features the titular vocalist, Boyd Smith on drums, bass player Roger Whittet and Petersen.
Diet Folk wasn't really an accurate description of what the band sounds like, according to Petersen.
"We actually just got into a long discussion about it," he said. "Everyone has a different idea of folk rock, alt-country. We all decided on alt-country (and) expanded into folk-rock-pop-soul-Americana."
Petersen said the band is aiming for bigger and better.
"It feels like the right direction," he said. "In two years, it won't matter. It's going to be old news and everyone will know us as DC and The Social Animals."
The group released the album "Cold" in 2012 — though it's under the Diet Folk name. A News Tribune reviewer said of it: "The group … expands exponentially from folk to a mix of soul, pop, rock and bluegrass that is fresh and infectious. 'Cold' shows the growth of Diet Folk from its lean bluegrass beginnings into an ensemble that has the potential to move in many directions."

text: Hello. I am a college student living in a dorm, and the only pets we can have must live in an aquarium, so I thought it would be cool to get an octopus. My biggest concern however is transporting from school to home a couple times a year. Would it be bad to have to do this, maybe three or four times a year when I can't be here in the dorm? Is there a safe way to transport the octopus without causing too much stress? Thanks, Jonathan

Enorrste On Where We Are: Post is a few days old - Long Read
enorrste: I have actually been quite impressed that the Parliament is standing up both for the Constitution and for the democratic process
enorrste: They are not threatened by Maliki at all, which is amazing It implies clearly that they have the numbers needed to remove him, and then some. I was also amazed that they had the ***** to say they'd move the meeting to another province if necessary, Clearly a statement that they weren't threatened by Maliki's removal of the Krails in front of the Parliament building.
enorrste: In short, they are saying that democracy will prevail. But even more importantly, to me, is the fact that several Mps have come out directly and stated unequivocally that Maliki Will Be Removed They went so far as to say that they will question him (25 questions, I read) and then remove him, all in the Same Sentence! This tells me that they are confident that they have the votes, and the courage, to proceed.
Read More Link On Right
enorrste: I also read that they will question him on the opening day of parliament, After which they will remove him! Therefore, assuming that the poop doesn't hit the fan the ball is now in Maliki's court, and he has few options left
enorrste: I also read that a "resolution" is in the works, but time is running short Therefore, if he is going to resign, which is a good possibility now, he will do so ......If he doesn't, he will be removed on Saturday. As I've stated before, the Constitution is clear that he has no right of appeal if they vote him out
enorrste: Also, we no longer need to be concerned about Talibani (having health problems in Germany), since they have done an end run around him completely and have gone directly to the parliamentary session in their planning now, which is totally constitutional Therefore, I believe that we will see a resolution, one way or another, by early next week.
enorrste: This is consistent, Imo, with Shabibi's overall plan to get this thing off the ground coincidental with the implementation of the Tariff Law. I personally think he may try to do this a day or even a few days prior to the 30th of June, so that the currency is Done at $1 prior to implementation
enorrste: This would smooth out any potential problems with the "folks" on the ground, and pull the rug out from under economists who have bantered for incessant delays Well, that's my first cent
enorrste: Let's chat while I decide what I just wrote that was totally bogus! Lol
enorrste: I feel that there may be another shoe to fall (in my head) but I need a moment to wait for it to show itself As you all may know I tend to get these thoughts "on the fly". I just wait for them to show up, as it were.
enorrste: Road_doc, I read that they were going to ask questions of Maliki at the first session, contrary to In other words, things have changed, and now the parliament is ready to Act
enorrste: There is a great deal of confidence among the Kurds, Allawi's people, and Sadr right now It's almost a "bluster" mentality, as they predict the outcome. Vodka tonic with a squeeze of lime So, let's look at the shoe, or foot, that might fall, Ok?
enorrste: Obviously, Maliki isn't going to just "resign" unless he has cut a deal The question is whether he has cut a deal or not (I think I cut my finger......) And what kind of deal could he cut? That is really the question now, right?
enorrste: It seems to me that he has burnt his bridges with Barzani, Allawi, and Sadr. All three have called him a dictator So he isn't going to win over any souls with "negotiations" at this point, Imo. Therefore, we move to the next point.
enorrste: He Claims that he has all the answers that the Mps are going to want when he goes before the Parliament But we know that this cannot be the case, since he hasn't implemented even 1 of the 9 points he agreed to Two Years Ago at Erbil, right?
enorrste: So what in the world could he offer in his own defense? I suggest that he won't offer much, if anything, in his own defense This means that he may well "hunker down" which is not good, Imo.
enorrste: He clearly has intentions that were indicated when he removed the Krails from in front of the Parliament building But how far might he take this? I cannot believe that he would go to violence against parliament, personally.
enorrste: Not only would the entire country go up in an uproar, but the world would back Allawi and company immediately if he did so.
enorrste: Therefore, I rule out a "physical" reaction on his part, even though he is clearly tempted to pull a stunt like that. So, we are left to speculate what else he might do. I suspect that he will show up. After all, that is his constitutional responsibility
enorrste: Furthermore, he has stated that he will come with his "entourage" behind him to help him respond appropriately However, it seems to me that the poop will hit the fan regardless of his cadre of lieutenants at his side, and that, as they say, "the die is cast" against him
enorrste: We must therefore expect the no confidence vote to occur on Saturday, or a day or so later, and that it will succeed His response will be nothing if not Interesting
enorrste: My current opinion is that he will attempt to pull a "constitutional rabbit out of the hat". (You heard this here first, folks, and can quote that wherever you wish - Lol) I believe that he will make the claim that Parliament is not following the constitution (while in fact they are) and that he will appeal to the Supreme Court for a ruling
enorrste: Unfortunately, his appeal will fall on deaf ears, since the Constitution clearly states that he is Removed At The Vote if it is successful
enorrste: So even if he appeals, he will do so from outside his office, If He Leaves And this is where it gets sticky. What if he refuses to leave office? And that is my second cent. Comments?
enorrste: Fortunately now time is on Our side; we won't have to wait long for that to occur, or not.
enorrste: Dp, only the Kurds have a militia, I believe and it doesn't compare to the army and personal security forces that Maliki has
enorrste: If I were a betting man right now I'd say that he will refuse to leave office, claiming some right to appeal. He will do so under the "banner" of being constitutional, when in fact he will be proven wrong Then we must hope that the voice of the people, through Parliament, clears the air constitutionally because, if he gets a hearing in front of the Court, all bets could be off. Good question, Van
enorrste: On the other hand, if Parliament acts immediately to replace him after the vote, which they have the right to do then there will be a New Prime Minister named immediately, and the country will move forward, or not This is the real conundrum. What happens if they have 2 Pms? I have no answer at least not yet The problem is that the crystal on my "seeing eye" glass is scratched!

Re: Alfred Yeoman born 1873 looking for descendants
In reply to:
Re: Alfred Yeoman born 1873 looking for descendants
Marko Cerda-Yeomans 6/14/07
The Alfred Yeoman I am interested in was born 1873 parents were Timothy and Mary Ann (Walls) He was one of ten children as follows; Mary Elizabeth 1862, Isabel 1864, William 1866, Timothy 1871, Alfred 1873, Arthur 1875, Margaret 1878, Edith 1881, Christopher 1883, Minnie 1885.
Christopher migrated to Australia 1910, William married in 1894 in Lancashire and had several children by 1901, Alfred and Arthur both married in Essex and were still there in 1901, Timothy seem to disappear but reappeared in UK and married in 1909. He may have been in the armed forces that went to the Boer War in South Africa. Does any of this match with your family? Our Yeoman was always spelt without the 's' .

Suspect in Fort Hood shooting, a Muslim, asked Army to discharge him, aunt said
Hasan "did not make many friends" and "did not make friends fast," his aunt said. He had no girlfriend and was not married. "He would tell us the military was his life," she said.
The psychiatrist once said that "Muslims should stand up and fight against the aggressor" and that the United States shouldn't be fighting the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in the first place, according to an interview with Col. Terry Lee, a co-worker, on Fox News.
At the Muslim Community Center, Hasan stood out because he would sometimes show up in Army fatigues, said Faizul Khan, the former imam there.
"He came to mosque one or two times to see if there were any suitable girls to marry," Khan said. "I don't think he ever had a match, because he had too many conditions. He wanted a girl who was very religious, prays five times a day."
In search of a partner in marriage, Hasan wrote in an application filed with a local Muslim matching service that "I am quiet and reserved until more familiar with person. Funny, caring and personable."
"He was a very quiet and private person. I can't say that people knew him very well other than attending prayers," said Arshad Qureshi, chairman of the board of trustees at the Muslim Community Center of Silver Spring. "You didn't see him attend anything -- school for children or celebrations. He did not go out of the way to engage people. We have thousands of people who come through to pray; he was just one of them."
A co-worker at Walter Reed said Hasan would not allow his photo to be taken with female co-workers, which became an issue during Christmas season when employees often took group photos. Co-workers would find a solo photo of Hasan and post it on the bulletin board without his permission.
Lee told Fox News that Hasan "was hoping that President Obama would pull troops out. . . . When things weren't going that way, he became more agitated, more frustrated with the conflicts over there. . . . He made his views well known about how he felt about the U.S. involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan."
And when he talked about fighting "the aggressor," he said that his fellow soldiers "should stand up and help the armed forces in Iraq and in Afghanistan," Lee said.
Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) told reporters after a briefing on the shootings that Hasan was born in Virginia to parents who emigrated from Jordan. The congressman said that Hasan "took a lot of advanced training in shooting."
Hasan was polite and respectful, according to 1st Lt. Elizabeth Whiteside, who was treated by the psychiatrist at Walter Reed while recovering from a gunshot wound suffered in Iraq.
Whiteside remembers Hasan as serious. During his initial evaluation of her, she tried to make light when he coughed by saying, "Bless you." Hasan replied that he had coughed and not sneezed.

ANTWERP - Zaha Hadid Architects renovates and extends the Port House in Antwerp to house the port's 500 staff. The repurposed building brings together a community of workers – who were once vastly spread throughout different buildings all over the city – under one roof.
Sustainability, a future-proof workplace, and design informed by detailed historical research were the key elements of the brief. The port's board explicitly insisted that the original architecture be preserved. ZHA's design, therefore, is an elevated extension that doesn't conceal the existing façade. Maintaining the structure of the historic building while simultaneously creating high standards in sustainable design was a challenge. Nevertheless, the firm tackled the issue with a range of innovative solutions, such as optimal daylight control that minimizes artificial lighting.
The shimmering 21-m-tall addition works in harmony with the changing tones of the city's skyscape. Its distinctive rippling quality is made possible by flat facets on the south of the building that become three-dimensional towards the north. The glittering façade also references Antwerp's moniker: the city of diamonds. 'The architectural style of the original building, a replica of the former Hansa House, recalls the 16th century, Antwerp's "golden century",' says Marc Van Peel, president of the Port of Antwerp. 'But now, above this original, a contemporary structure in shining glass has been built, which I am sure represents a new golden century for Antwerp.
'Inside, natural light pours into the open-plan space from every angle. To enliven the workspace, employees requested an 'activities-based office' to prompt socializing and provide spaces for meetings. As a result, facilities such as a restaurant and auditorium are integrated into the design.

Tristan und Isolde Trailer (2010)
27 July 2010 232 mins
Of all operas, perhaps the one that least needs ingenious extra musical assistance is 'Tristan', this aurally erotic work that speaks so vividly to the listener's inner eye. Wagner's score is simply more illustrative and sensuously pictorial than any series of stage pictures could be. This production with the Deutsche Oper Berlin stars Rene Kollo and Gweneth Jones in the title roles. This program represents a historical milestone and document of the highest value in the reception of Richard Wagner's 'Tristan und Isolde.' Deutsche Oper Berlin live at the NHK Hall, Tokyo, 1993.

Vist a very beautiful beach of Rhossili on the Gower Penninsular and on to today's castles. Caerphilly is where my favourite cheese comes from and the castle here is very imposing. It has a moat which we see people fishing in, the BBC film team is there making a recording of a debate that will happen in the afternoon between a team from Australia and a Welsh? team. There is also a children's TV series being made in the grounds and there are plenty of props lying around. Chepstow Castle and Castle Coch are next. Coch is a 'fairytale' castle, not old by other castle standards and not large either and has turrets and rooms with painted jungle animals and birds.
Find a place to camp at Glen Trothy, Monmouthshire in a overly organised spot. We are handed a list of 'do not dos'! Next morning there are misty drops of rain falling and our castle tour of Wales is finishing as we leave by the Severn Bridge. No toll as you leave only when you enter Wales. We move into Sommerset and the Mendips area and see a poster advertising 'The Wurzels' who are appearing somewhere soon nearby. Following Andrew's suggested tour tiops from the book he is reading we go off and find the Tarr Steps. It is a pretty place on the river where large flat slabs of rock have been laid centuries ago to allow pedestrian access. Take a lok at Illfracombe which is beautiful. Porlock, another seaside village where there is a tide difference of 8.5 metres and the roads in and out have gradients of 1 in 4 (25%). Andrew's navigation took us onto a private toll road where we had to stop at a gatehouse which bridges the narrow road and ring for someone to come out and take our £1.
Choose a camp ground and listen to an owl gently hooting away to us as the night falls. Have a chat with the neighbouring cyclist campers who also share their favourite places to visit in the UK. Look across the ocean to landfall on the other side which has to be south Wales?

Sometimes, you suddenly realize you've lost something.
Something you liked. Cherished.
You are afraid to start looking for it.
You may find that you're unable to find it in all those corners you think it might be hiding.
If that happens, you might have to live with the fact that you'll never find it now.
That it really is, Lost.
You are not prepared for that finality of the loss yet.
You're not going to look for it.
Not tonight.
Yet another night.

Frustrated as the Westhill baseball team may have felt by the numerous delays that plagued the Section III Class B baseball championship game, it all worked out.
For when the Warriors finally encountered Cazenovia in that title game Saturday night at Rome's DeLutis Field, it had ace left-hander Alex Godzak in top form, which was more than enough as Westhill conquered the Lakers 8-1.
All that the Canisius College-bound Godzak did was throw a one-hitter, amassing 13 strikeouts against a single walk and moving to 10-1 on the spring. He is the first Westhill pitcher to win 10 games in a single season.
Now the Warriors can go after its third state Class B crown in four years, starting Tuesday when it returns to DeLutis Field at 7 p.m. to face Section IV champion Oneonta. The winner advances to Saturday's state final four in Binghamton.
The saga of the sectional final began way back on Monday, at DeLutis Field, when Westhill beat Utica-Notre Dame 12-3 for the B-1 championship as Godzak pitched five solid innings.
Then the weather took over. Lightning on Monday night delayed the Class B-2 final, between Cazenovia and Sherburne-Earlville, until Tuesday, but another rainstorm pushed the game back to Thursday, at Alliance Bank Stadium, where the Lakers won 10-1 for its first-ever sectional baseball championship.
Westhill and Cazenovia now were set to meet Friday, also at Alliance Bank Stadium. But it rained again, causing yet another postponement, and with the field at the home of the Syracuse Chiefs too wet, the whole show moved back to Rome on Saturday night.
About the only good thing about the delays was that Westhill could bring back Godzak on normal rest. And it was quite eager to play Cazenovia, given that the Lakers knocked them off 5-1 back on May 4 when the Warriors were unbeaten and atop the state rankings.
That eagerness was on display in the bottom of the first inning, when Westhill got to Lakers pitcher David McEntee (who won that May 4 decision) for a pair of runs, and added two more runs in the second to make it 4-0.
By the time the Warriors had tacked on a run in the fourth and three more runs in the fifth, all the attention had turned to Godzak, who to that point had not allowed a baserunner. He was seeking a perfect game to go with the no-hitter he had thrown against Skaneateles on April 25.
Until the sixth, the perfect game held – but McEntee's double broke it up, and he came around to score a run to break the shutout, too. Still, the Warriors cruised the rest of the way toward a sectional title.
Leadoff hitter J.C. Pena again set the tone, managing two hits and and RBI and scoring twice. Tyler Thomas also had two hits and two runs scored, while Jacob Nigolian tripled and scored a run. Kevin Karleski, Jeff Lobello and Mike Burton also crossed the plate.

Where: Eagle Stadium, Athens
When: 7:30 p.m.
Records: Athens Academy (5-3, 3-0), Athens Christian (2-6, 0-3)
Key Players: Athens Academy: QB/WR/DB Chad Kimbrough (Sr., 5-foot-9, 165 pounds), OL Charlie Jarrett (Sr., 6-0, 255), RB/DB Josh Urich (Sr., 5-9, 160), DL Patrick Cook (Sr., 6-3, 220), WR/DB Keith Guest (Sr., 5-10, 180), QB/WR Chris Andrews (Sr., 6-0, 195).

What they're saying: ''The biggest thing that I see with Athens Academy is that they're so strong up front.'' -- Athens Christian head coach Van Beacham.
Notebook: Athens Christian head coach Van Beacham said his team was fighting injuries and illnesses heading into tonight's game. ''We're sort of like the Red Cross right now,'' Beacham joked. ''We've got a lot of kids banged up and some guys with some illnesses, so we're limping into tonight's game.'' ... Athens Academy can clinch the Region 8-A title with a little help tonight from Commerce. Should the Spartans win tonight and the Tigers can knock off Jefferson, Athens Academy would capture the region championship.

OT: NFL helmets with local college team colors
OT: Talking Cars Tuesday - Summer Shows & Cruises
Well here in Chicago Saturday was perfect. 78 and sunny, a wonderful day to get a little too much sun at a car show. The winner of our show was a pristine, Lansing built, Cutlass Supreme with a beautiful white paint job. Some were surprised that this '57 Chevy didn't take it:
So - do you go to car shows over the summer? Have a car you show? Are you a local who hates the bustle of the Dream Cruise (I have non-sports loving family in AA who hate the bustle of home football games similarly), are you a car fan who loves the bustle of the dream cruise? What's your perfect car for a summer car show or cruise?

OT: Who are the best rock vocalists?
Here is my incomplete list. As I'm a child of the 80's and 90's it is weighted that way. I'm sure there are more that you guys will advocate for.

FINAL: @Patriots win in Denver! #Patriots#NEvsDEN pic.twitter.com/cpIdj7bpUn
— NFL (@NFL) December 19, 2016
I can't even laugh any more. This offense is so horrific, they should be ashamed of themselves. Between Twitter and Facebook, everyone was letting loose today. The Broncos blew their chance to make the playoffs this year. Even against the Patriots team that always seems to struggle in the Mile High City. Trevor Siemian should get awards this year for heroism, and being an ironman. The offense that surrounds him is filth and rubbish. I am about to let loose here, no holds barred.
I've had enough of DT. Enough of watching him drop critical passes. You get paid 16 mill a year bruh, catch the damn ball!! I don't care one way or the other if he stays or not. A team pays a WR that kind of money to make 3-4 catches a game. DT is only thinking about himself. He no longer cares if the team wins or losses, as he is getting paid the same regardless. He no longer has any excuses. His ma is out the clink, his grandma is, who cares. He gets paid to catch a ball. He often doesn't when it matters most, and isn't worth the paper that the money is printed to pay him. Don't care aboutcha DT!! Thanks for coming out!
I don't know why but I seriously started laughing when Norwood fumbled… what an awful freaking game by Denver.
— Ryan Edwards (@redwardsradio) December 19, 2016
Jordan Norwood should be sent to Canada and get an awful contract with a completely irrelevant team up there. I hope you quit football and end up selling cell phones out of a mall in Compton. We have all had enough of you dropping your job every week. The dirt he has on #7 has to be super dark to keep playing every week right? I thought Trindon Holiday was back playing for Denver.
Last year #Broncos offense was 16th in the league in yards, despite hurt Manning & Brock "benched for Savage" Osweiler.
This year's is 25th
— Benjamin Allbright (@AllbrightNFL) December 19, 2016
The o-line basically doesn't exist. I'm not kidding when I say this; I think Denver would be better off not even having one. It's no wonder Rusty Okung negotiated his own deal. No sports agent is dumb enough to pick him up as a client. Oh yeah, he lost his job in Seattle… to a rookie… a bad one too. Max Garcia is spotty at best. The LG position would be better if Ray Charles played it. At least we would get the same performance week after week. Micheal Schofield, the RG from Michigan can go away as well. I think we all know about him right? Yeah, we do. Finally Donald Duck, er I mean Donald Stephenson. Slightly better than the inactive Ty Sambrailo who has been a catastrophic failure.
Only Trevor Siemian, Emmanual Sanders and Matt Paradis have performed week in and week out. The rest can go away forever. Tell me otherwise. I want you to tell me with a straight face that this offense can win something. You can't, no one can. No one is naive enough. Ignorance is working in the dark, stupidity is shutting the lights out. Denver's offense turned out the lights about 14 weeks ago.
@redwardsradio should be a win when your defense holds Brady to 16 points. Especially at home. This offense needs a lot of work.
— Nick Allen (@NickStixx) December 19, 2016
The Broncos had such a great opportunity to win this game. Holding Brady to 188 yards, shutting him out for nearly the entire 1st quarter and holding him to 16/32 pass comps to attempts. To improve in the rankings, with KC losing to Tennessee, the Broncos blew it. I haven't the inclination to convince anyone otherwise. That was it for the 2016 season for Denver. With that loss, Denver is out of the playoffs and out of time. Maybe this time Elway will invest in an O-line this draft, rather than an irrelevant, useless QB in the first round. Denver squandered it's chance for postseason hope with an incredibly awful, disgusting display of Browns like offense. Elway and Brock are laughing at each other right now aren't they. For the same reasons to boot. Neither can perform how they were expected to. Oh the irony.
Despite an outstanding effort by the #Broncos D, this game feels like it's 28-0. Broncos offense doesn't have any firepower #JustCantScore
— Chad Brown (@chadbrown94) December 18, 2016
The defense was top notch today. Perhaps that's what chaps me the most about today's performance. The defense understood the importance of this game, understood the position they were in and played accordingly. For the 13th time this year, the offense almost intentionally let them down. This is a do good league, not a try hard league. Denver's defense did good, the offense tried, I guess.
No way Denver can go into KC and win, or beat the Raiders in week 17. I thought the Broncos would go 10-6 this season, but after what I've witnessed for the last three weeks, 8-8 seems a bit more accurate. With the playoff window slammed shut, next weeks loss will lock it. Of course the Patriots are good, of course Brady is one of the best, but when your kick returner, who has looked like a gigantic pile of poo, drops yet another kick off, and the offense can't play with urgency, dedication or discipline, it's no wonder Denver lost today.
Gary Kubiak could have stopped the clock with 1:14 left in half. Decided not to. Will he kneel with 32 secs left, ball at own 25? #9sports
— Mike Klis (@MikeKlis) December 18, 2016
So with that, well done Denver, and well done Kubiak. Missed calls, poor execution, whiffed opportunities and general lack of accountability from one of the side of football has made this season a lost one. Of course I will be writing about the last two games of the year for Denver, but with the expected results, and lack of reason to play quality football, they will most likely be how Denver can position themselves for a much more successful offseason than the last.
There is still a chance Denver can make the playoffs I suppose, though they need a Thor-ian amount of help. If, and that is an enormous if, they beat KC in Arrowhead and win against the Raiders in week 17, there is a small, teeny tiny chance they can make the playoffs. Though even if they do, would you give them a chance to win anything?
The championship window has closed. But just for now. It is hard to admit I know, and though difficult to stomach, I think it is okay. Unless a team has a Tom Brady, or Drew Brees or Aaron Rodgers, there are going to be rebuilding years. The Broncos aren't the Browns, they aren't the Jaguars. They are the Denver Broncos, and they will return to greatness. It may not be this year, or next but they will return. Perhaps this is the time to re-evaluate and re-build. Whether the future is Siemian or Lynch, the future still remains. So for now, let's see how they do against the Chiefs, check our expectations, and let Elway do his thing. I still have the faith ya'll, and you should too.

Offering For The Hungry Ghosts

Partly inspired by a scene from a Thai movie,originally posted at RDNA for the Nov 2014 challenge. Here's the original accompanying text, some of which is true:
In many parts of Asia the seventh lunar month (around August/September) is a time of ghosts and spirits, and increased offerings of food, money, gifts, and prayers are made to placate them. Midway through this 'ghost month' is the Hungry Ghost Festival.
The strange, eerie whistling occasionally heard at this season in the jungles, coconut plantations, and fruit orchards is not the wind, but the laboured breathing and famished moaning of a particular type of hungry ghost. Extremely tall and thin, almost skeletal, these creatures are cursed with tiny mouths, utterly incapable of ingesting enough food to satiate their ceaseless hunger.
There is a particular type of sweet made from eggs and sugar that's especially popular during this festival. Teased out into a thin string and rolled into loose bundles, it is one of the few foods that is small enough to fit into the mouths of these ghosts. In certain parts this sweet is left along with the other offerings on specially constructed tables, high in the air...

Nairobi - A top official from Rwanda's main opposition party has vanished after being attacked by security forces, the party said on Friday in a statement."Sylvain Sibomana, acting secretary general of the FDU [United Democratic Forces], has disappeared," the party said."We spoke to him on his cell phone for the last time when he was attacked by security personnel for unknown reasons and taken towards an unknown destination."The FDU said it last had contact with Sibomana on Thursday afternoon. He was in Rubavu district in Rwanda's Western Province."All attempts to find him in police or army detention centres proved in vain," it said.The FDU said national police had told the party to discuss the matter with local police.The party, which accuses President Paul Kagame of intimidating and stifling opposition movements, is not recognised by Rwandan authorities, who say it has not completed the necessary steps to be registered.FDU leader Victoire Ingabire, the country's top opposition figure, is currently on trial for supporting terrorism, charges she denies.
Who doesn`t know that there`s no justice in Kagame`s Rwanda?That`s a pure Kangaroo court.period.Kagame is the sole responsible of the Genocide in rwanda aiming to becoming president.he shot down the plane of his predecessor killing him and the president of burundi on april 6 1994 at 21h00.Kagame is a terrorist who has assassinated 10000000(ten millions)Congolese.He`s sponsoring terrorism around the world and running assassination squads around the world.look at attempted assassination of Kayumba nyamwasa in South Africa,Seta shongasamba in Kenya,burglary in California at the house of Cynthia Mckinney in USA(former congresswoman),looting of DRC,Massacre in Kisangani(DRC)on5-11/06/2001 where more than 20000 civilians were assassinated,Massacre of Makobola in DRC,massacre of Kibeyo in rwanda in 1995,and numerous other crimes against humanity that I have good record of in my flash disc.So,people of media,don`t turnish yourself talking good about this devil man,the african Hitler.Rather report the truth so that he pays for all he has done.
Paris, where in the whole of Africa will the truth ever surface completely? The men on our continent are power hungry sadists who do not care about our children and older people. I want to cry. Our beautiful home, so full of selfish men.

Spending over a decade languishing in development hell, the epic intergalactic romance drama, Passengers, will finally hit theatres in time for Christmas. Initially pegged to star Keanu Reeves and Reese Witherspoon, the movie will now see #ChrisPratt and #JenniferLawrence as the two lovers who wake up in the midst of a 120-year-long journey through space.
With hopes that Academy Award nominated director, Morten Tyldum (The Imitation Game) can steer the movie to astronomical heights, here's all the #SonyPictures' Passengers news, rumors and updates for your reading pleasure, all in one dazzling place.
Passengers News and Rumors
- 14 Dec 2016: Jennifer Lawrence Defaces Chris Pratt's Face On The Side Of The Passengers Tour Bus
Speaking on the Jimmy Kimmel Live show about Chris's new obsession for posting photos of both the Passengers stars to his Instagram, but continually cropping J-Law out of them, it would appear that Jennifer finally reached her limit. Storming out of the Jimmy Kimmel studio the star proceeded to scrawl all over Chris Pratt's face on the side of their tour bus, changing his name to "Chris Rat" and drawing a devils mustache above his top lip.
- 11 Dec 2016: While Promoting Passengers, Jennifer Lawrence Revealed She Nearly Crushed A Man With Her Butt
Promoting Passengers on the UK's Graham Norton Show J-Law revealed that while shooting for The Hunger Games in Hawaii, she nearly killed the movie's sound guy by rubbing her butt on some sacred rocks which were "perfect for spud scratching." Since the interview, Hawaiians have demanded an apology for her culturally insensitive behavior.
- 05 Oct 2016: Passengers Has Reversed The Gender Pay Gap
Passengers has seemingly reversed the gender pay gap with reports stating that Jennifer Lawrence received $20million for her role, whereas Chris Pratt received $12million. With Forbes announcing in August that Jennifer Lawrence was, for the second time in a row, the highest paid actress of the year, it perhaps comes as no surprise that J-Law knows how to fight for what she's worth.
Passengers Trailer
Passengers Release Date
The Passengers release date is set for a wonderfully festive December 21st 2016 release. There are no festival premieres but the movie will be released in 3D and RealD 3D formats worldwide, with the international roll out running all the way through from Christmas up to January 12, 2017.
Passengers Plot Outline
Thirty years into its 120 year voyage, two out of the 5,259 people traveling on the Starship Avalon headed toward the distant "Homestead Colony" are accidentally awoken from their hypersleep. From here we watch as Aurora (Lawrence) and Jim (Pratt), the only two "passengers" to awaken develop a complex romance which is endangered by a life-threatening problem aboard the ship. Naturally.
But, you guessed it, there are twists in store. Did they really wake up accidentally or were they woken up for a specific purpose? *Holds baited breath.*
Passengers Cast & Characters
Jennifer Lawrence As Aurora Lane
First making waves with a blistering performance in Winters Bone, Academy-Award winner Jennifer Lawrence has wowed audiences with excellent performances in Silver Linings Playbook, American Hustle and Joy as well as helming the vastly successful Hunger Games series.
In Passengers, J-Law is cast as Aurora Lane, a writer who is awoken from her hypersleep aboard the Starship Avalon, who has to deal with the prospect of being one of only two people awake on the ship until she dies.
Chris Pratt As Jim Preston
From his inauspicious beginnings in Parks and Recreation to his breakout role as Star Lord in Guardians of The Galaxy, Pratt's boy-next-door charm is key to understanding his immense likability. With Jurassic World he officially broke out as a household name, and he looks set to do the same in Passengers.
Playing Jim Preston, a mechanical engineer who, like Aurora, has also awoken aboard the Starship Avalon 90 years early, it's hinted at that he may actually know more than he's letting on, especially concerning the real reason that both he and Aurora have been awoken.
Michael Sheen As Arthur
After becoming an accomplished Shakespearian actor in the 1990s, Michael Sheen moved into film and television in the 2000s, playing Tony Blair three times. He also stars in the critically acclaimed Showtime series Masters of Sex, and now will be playing Arthur, a robotic bartender in Passengers. Things are clearly going from strength to strength for Mr Sheen!
Laurence Fishburne As Chief Gus Mancuso
Making his debut in Apocalypse Now as a fifteen-year-old fighting in the Vietnam war, Fishburne has since acted in a bunch of cult crime films before landing his most famous role as Orpheus in The Matrix Trilogy. In Passengers, Laurence is cast as Gus Mancuso, a "spacer" who has spent pretty much his entire lifetime in space.
Obsessed with interplanetary travel, Gus has made around six voyages to several different planets and has absolutely no attachment to Earth, his eye always being on what lies beyond the horizon.
Aurora Perrineau As Celeste
Daughter of Harold Perrineau, Aurora is a relative newcomer, best known for her work on Jem, a live-action version of the animated TV series. Cast back in February to play the role of Celeste, Aurora's best friend in Passengers, we're interested to see exactly how she features in the movie even though only Aurora and Jim are awake aboard the starship.
Passengers Spoilers
Footage from CinemaCon has revealed a few clues as to just what is going to take place in the highly anticipated movie.
Warning! Passenger Spoilers Ahead!
Fans were shown a ship floating through space, with all the passengers sleeping. Jim suddenly wakes up, and walks around realizing that there is no one there. He meets an android bartender (played by Michael Sheen) who tells him that he shouldn't be there. A year later he meets a girl who is a writer from New York with much better accommodation than him. They both talk and she realizes there is no way of going back to hibernation. For fun they go to dinner, watch films and swim. He tells her she's beautiful and they make out. The fun stops however, when the ship loses its gravity, leaving the two of them to try and quickly figure out a solution.
Passengers Fan Theories
- One of the more interesting Passengers theories comes from our very own Amie Marie Bohannon who proposes that the reason for Jim being let out of his pod early is that he is needed to fix the ship. Why Lawrence is also there is not so clear: perhaps a variation on the Adam and Eve story?
- An article in Teen Vogue has noted, due to the class difference between the two characters, and their initial distrust of one another that (inevitably) turns into love, and the fact that the spaceship could be destroyed, that Passengers is basically just a space variation of The Titanic — which means we could see Jim dying in order to save Aurora. If so, it might be time to bring a handkerchief with you.
Where To Watch Passengers Online
The film has yet to be released yet, with a release date of December 21st, so as of yet there is nowhere to watch Passengers online — but watch this space!
In the future, would you like all bartenders to be robots?

She sprang from the womb and waved to the crowd. Then smiled and took a bow. And so we first meet Venetia Kelly, the beguiling actress at the center of this new, spellbinding, and epic novel by Frank Delaney, the best-selling author of Ireland and Shannon.
January 1932: While Ireland roils in the run-up to the most important national election in the Republic's short history, Ben MacCarthy and his father watch a vagabond variety revue making a stop in the Irish countryside. After a two-hour kaleidoscope of low comedy, Shakespearean recitations, juggling, tumbling, and other entertainments, Ben's father, mesmerized by Venetia Kelly, the troupe's magnetic headliner, makes a fateful decision: to abandon his family and set off on the road with Miss Kelly and her caravan. Ben's mother, shattered by the desertion, exhorts "find him and bring him back", thereby sending the boy on a Homeric voyage into manhood, a quest that traverses the churning currents of Ireland's fractious society and splinters the MacCarthy family.
Interweaving historical figures including W. B. Yeats, and a host of unforgettable creations (King Kelly, Venetia's violent, Mephistophelean grandfather; Sarah Kelly, Venetia's mysterious, amoral mother; and even a truth-telling ventriloquists dummy named Blarney), Frank Delaney unfurls a splendid narrative that spans half the world and a tumultuous, eventful decade.
Teeming with intrigue, pathos, and humor, Venetia Kelly's Traveling Show explores two of Ireland's great national passions: theater and politics. Writing with his signature mastery and lyrical prose, Frank Delaney once again delivers an unforgettable story as big and boisterous as the people and events it chronicles.
Ben McCarthy is a grown man when he sits down to write about the year he was 18: the year he met Venetia Kelly. She was a beautiful 32-year-old woman headlining a stage act the titular entertainment in Venetia Kelly's Traveling Show who so enchanted Ben's father that he left his wife, his son, and his farm to join the troupe. When Ben's mother sends Ben out on the road to find his father and bring him home, the entire McCarthy family is drawn into the tangled history of Venetia Kelly, her mother Sarah, and her grandfather King. Author Frank Delaney narrates the story, in a rich, well-paced tone that hits all the story's emotional notes and offers Ben a one-of-a-kind voice.
Venetia Kelly's Traveling Show is an expansive novel, filled with strong characters from well-meaning neighbors and ruthless criminals to shady politicians and men in love and set against the backdrop of Ireland's politically tumultuous early '30s. As a narrator, Ben makes it clear from the start that he's prone to digression (blame the Blarney Stone) and that his view of the events has been colored by age; as a reader, Delaney gives "Important Digressions" and "Unimportant Digressions" the same care and emotion he gives to the novel's dramatic high points. Delaney might be best known for his detailed novels about the Emerald Isle which include the frankly named Shannon, Tipperary, and Ireland but he also spent much of his life working for the BBC, where he covered current events and art, and hosted his own talk show in the early 1980s. His gentle Irish accent and mellow timbre are a charming complement to the novel's witty prose and clever asides, and he handles the bittersweet ending with the proper blend of resolution and hope.

Good Points
The phone manages to bring a camera phone to people who can't afford most other phones.
Bad Points
It tries to do everything and as a result doesnt do much that well.
General Comments
The first time I bought a Sony Ericsson T300 and it completly broke, now i have a new one, it's ok but it can get very glitchy. The camera simply cannot produce with a screen with only 256 coulors, photos look odd and its hard to make out things. The polyphonic ringtones are good quality, unlike the games which get boring quickly. Overall this is a phone that has been made too quickly and too cheaply to be good. I thing it has a nice design but thats a matter of opinion.

|the CMU student's perspective
As a CMU student...I can tell you that
1. Billiards and yoga are one credit elective classes that are open to all students and taking at least ONE elective credit in physical education is required for graduation. So what if Dan wants to pay an extra $600 out of his pocket to take any variation of these courses such as judo, racquetball, disc golf, snowboarding god knows how many others there are?
2. Calculus (or a variation thereof) is a requirement to graduate at CMU. We have what is called the "University Program", a pick-and-choose set out of various groups of gen.ed. courses that must be fulfilled by the end of your sophomore year. One of these sections that must be fulfilled is mathematically oriented. A course that can fulfill the math requirement is..*gasp* calculus.
And now for your comment about classes not being taught by professors. CMU has a huge athletic training and sports medicine program. What better way to give students sports-related experience than to let them teach or assist in lower-level sports courses? You're really going to complain about a one-credit phys.ed. elective not being taught by an actual professor? How about we just mosey on down to little brother and have a 500 person lecture taught by a 23 year old TA?
Sorry for the ranting nature, but think before you assume next time. Go Blue and Fire up Chips!

Skip to comments.Navy Dolphins' Work Will Be Outsourced
Posted on 12/01/2012 5:15:08 PM PST by DogByte6RER
Robots to pick up animals tasks, like some detection of mines
Like the factory worker and travel agent before them, some Navy dolphins trained to hunt down mines are scheduled to be replaced by computers in five years.
However, the Navys marine mammals arent going away. Military-trained dolphins and sea lions will continue to be used for port security and retrieving objects from the sea floor jobs they are still better at than machines.
The Navys $28 million marine mammal program, headquartered in San Diego, uses 80 bottlenose dolphins and 40 California sea lions.
Armed by Mother Nature with superb eyesight, sophisticated sonar and the ability to dive 500 feet without getting the bends, these creatures have been deployed to Iraq and Bahrain during the post-Sept. 11 wars to keep ports safe for American ships.
They patrol for enemy divers. They ping buried mines and mark the location for handlers. Its a program that goes back to naval research that started in the late 1950s and at one time included killer whales and sharks.
But now Navy officials say that an unmanned underwater vehicle a 12-foot torpedo-shaped robot can do some of the same mine-hunting jobs. And the machines can be manufactured quickly, unlike the seven years it takes to train a dolphin for duty.
Only 24 of the Navys 80 dolphins are involved in mine-hunting work that will go to robots starting in 2017. Those dolphins will be reassigned to other tasks, a Navy official said. Sea lion jobs are safe.
We are certain that theres going to be fewer mine-hunting dolphins, said Mike Rothe, head of the biosciences division at the Navys Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Pacific in San Diego.
(Excerpt) Read more at utsandiego.com ...
San Diego is home to the Navy's Marine Mammal program which includes dolphins and sea lions trained to find and mark the location of different underwater objects including mines, people and other items of interest. At their training facility on Point Loma, the animals are exercised and cared for in a regimen that rivals that of human athletes. Photography by John Gibbins/U-T San Diego
Before I express sympathy I want to know if the dolphins voted for 0bama.
oh.. for a sec there I thought we were outsourcing to Indian and Chinese children...
They call him flipper flipper..
Not trying to hijack this thread but just to let all who don't know the latest. Today, the Secretary and the Navy announced the the aircraft carrier CVN80 will carry the name Enterprise. The name Enterprise NEEDS to continue to prowl the seas.
Now, back the the original thread.
More work Mexicans will take that nobody else wants?
Dr Gillian Taylor: You're not from the military are you? Trying to teach whales to retrieve torpedoes or some dipshit stuff like that?
Admiral Kirk: No, ma'am. No dipshit.
If our enemy develops underwater ecm will the UUV still work?
Seven years to train a dolphin? He'll never repay that student loan.
"So, Bob, what are you studying at dolphin school?"
"Oh, mine retrieval, bopping frogmen in the crotch, stuff like that. How about you, Frank?"
"Art therapy."
"Frank, in seven years, you're going to be back at your parents house living in the basement and watching porn on the Internet."
"Beats the crap out of fighting with sharks and killer whales."
Yeah and if the dolphins stay unemployed that is good, why are we hiring genocidal rapist dolphins anyhow?
Maybe the Japanese were right about killing them....
Why not? If they're here they can cross water.
Looks to me like that sea lion in pic #5 needs a major trip to the dentist.

In his introduction to this volume, Stephen King writes, Talent does more than come out; it bursts out, again and again, doing exuberant cartwheels while the band plays 'Stars and Stripes Forever' . . . Talent can't help itself; it roars along in fair weather or foul, not sparing the fireworks. It gets emotional. It struts its stuff. In fact, that's its job."
Wonderfully eclectic, The Best American Short Stories 2007 collects stories by writers of undeniable talent, both newcomers and favorites. These stories examine the turning points in life when we, as children or parents, lovers or friends or colleagues, must break certain rules in order to remain true to ourselves. In T. C. Boyle's heartbreaking Balto," a thirteen-year-old girl provides devastating courtroom testimony in her father's trial. Aryn Kyle's charming story Allegiance" shows a young girl caught between her despairing British mother and motherly American father. In The Bris," Eileen Pollack brilliantly writes of a son struggling to fulfill his filial obligations, even when they require a breach of morality and religion. Kate Walbert's stunning Do Something" portrays one mother's impassioned and revolutionary refusal to accept her son's death. And in Richard Russo's graceful Horseman," an English professor comes to understand that plagiarism reveals more about a student than original work can.
New series editor Heidi Pitlor writes, [Stephen King's] dedication, unflagging hard work, and enthusiasm for excellent writing shone through on nearly a daily basis this past year . . . We agreed, disagreed, and in the end very much concurred on the merit of the twenty stories chosen." The result is a vibrant assortment of stories and voices brimming with attitude, deep wisdom, and rare compassion.
King admits in his introduction that he prefers "all-out emotionally assaultive" stories to those that might appeal to his "critical nose." Yet King's selections are right at home among those of recent BASS editors Lorrie Moore, Michael Chabon and Walter Mosley: John Barth's darkly comic take on aging and mortality; a child's unforgiving view of her alcoholic parent from T.C. Boyle; an exploration of the grief of a crystal meth addict by William Gay (a writer King notes is a relatively obscure "American talent"); Lauren Groff's piece about a polio survivor learning to swim during the 1918 Spanish flu epidemic (based loosely on real-life Olympian Ethelda Bleibtrey); Roy Kesey's imagining of an airport terminal as microcosm of global politics; and Karen Russell's halfway house for the human children of werewolves ("their condition skips a generation"). Stories drawing on horror and on Maine add a personal King touch to this year's cull of 20, taken from among the 4,000 that series editor Pitlor read last year in periodicals. The book reflects the variety of substance and style and the consistent quality that readers have come to expect from the series, now in its 30th year.

The thirsty thief took a fifth of Jim Beam whiskey, a gallon of Bacardi rum and eight Bud Light bottles, the victims told police.

Detection of wheat contamination in oats by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
- 176 Downloads
- Citations
It is well established that the consumption of wheat prolamins causes the characteristic symptoms of coeliac disease (CD) in subjects who are predisposed to it. There is currently much discussion about the role of oats in the pathogenesis of CD. Evidently, it is important that oats used for clinical studies are not contaminated with wheat. In this study, 38 oat samples were investigated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA): 30 samples consisted of flakes or grains and 8 probes were industrially processed oat diets. Wheat prolamin (gliadin) detection by ELISA showed that 16 of these samples contained less than the detection limit of 0.2 mg gliadin/100 g dry weight; 21 samples contained less than 2.8 mg gliadin/100 g dry weight and 1 sample reached 38 mg gliadin/100 g dry weight, clearly exceeding the allowed Swiss limit of 10 mg gliadin/100 g dry weight for gluten-free products. Spiking experiments showed that the wheat PCR system is about ten times more sensitive than the ELISA system, provided that the isolated DNA is fully amplifiable. Thus, wheat DNA could be detected by the wheat PCR system in ten samples with gliadin contents below the detection limit of the ELISA system used. Applying a eukaryote-specific 18S-PCR system the presence of amplifiable DNA was verified. Only two of eight samples of industrially processed oat products contained amplifiable DNA, the other six samples had no detectable DNA left. One sample was wheat-PCR positive. However, all eight samples contained detectable amounts of gliadin in the ELISA.

Please help out some Philadelphians heading down to Morehead City for a week -- first time in the Carolinas! Can't find any recent postings about restaurants. Looking for suggestions about the local specialties, seafood restaurants, local haunts, and fine (but not too fine) dining. Menus with abundant vegetarian choices a plus.
Thanks, in advance, to the wonderful Chowhound community.
