Brian Day on Near Earth Objects for Feb. 12 Meeting
We are fortunate to have Brian Day of NASA speaking at our Feb. 12 meeting. His topic is on the threat posed by Near Earth Objects (NEOs): "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall".
The explosion of a small asteroid near Chelyabinsk in 2013, and numerous near-misses since then (such as the January 26 close pass by asteroid 2004 BL86) serve as reminders that we live in a cosmic shooting gallery. We'll look at the threats posed by Near Earth Objects (NEOs), the strategies for mitigating these hazards, and the key roles that amateur astronomers can play in helping to save the Earth.
Brian Day currently acts as SSERVI's project manager for NASA's Lunar Mapping and Modeling Portal (http://lmmp.nasa.gov), a set of tools designed for mission planning, lunar science, and public outreach. From 2010-2014, Brian served as the Education/Public Outreach Lead for NASA's Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) mission to the Moon, which flew through and studied the Moon's tenuous atmosphere. From 2007-2010 he served as the E/PO Lead for NASA's LCROSS lunar impactor mission which discovered deposits of water ice at the Moon's South Pole. He has also participated in producing the Education/Public Outreach sections for numerous NASA mission proposals. Brian has played key roles in various NASA Mars Analog Field Studies, providing technical support in the field for webcasts and robotic rover tests in extreme environments here on Earth. In 2007, he flew on the Aurigid-MAC mission to record fragments of comet Kiess entering Earth's upper atmosphere.

Oscar Pistorius appeared in court on Monday, 19th August, 2013. He appeared at the Magistrate Court, Pretoria.
He will go to trial in March next year charged with murdering Reeva Steenkamp, the court heard on Monday.
Oscar Pistorius is accused of premeditated murder of Reeva Steenkamp, 29, who was his girlfriend. He denies the charge.
Oscar Pistorius says he shot Reeva Steenkamp after mistaking her for an intruder in his home. This relates to February 14th this year.
Oscar Pistorius was indicted on a charge of illegal possession of ammunition also.
He has been granted bail. This relates to the bail of £74,000. Oscar Pistorius' travel conditions were altered in March meaning that he could leave South Africa under certain rules.
It is understood that he has resumed 'low key' training in order to assist him 'to process his trauma', a statement on his website in June said.
Oscar Pistorius, a double amputee athlete, won gold at the London 2012 Paralympic Games. He took part in the Olympic Games also.

I have lived in Chicago for 5 years now and I'm still looking for great late-night food. I mean LATE, like 2 or 4am. On a weeknight. [I'm a student ;-) ]
To preface this I have to say where I've *been*. I live near Greektown/West Loop, so I'm no stranger to Zorbas, Mr. Greek, Zeus, and Greektown Gyros. The nicer places (Parthenon, Pegasus, Roditys, Greek Islands) all close around 10-ish. As for the rest of the city, I've been to all the Golden (Angel, Nugget, Griddle, whatever) places. A pancake house is a pancake house. IHOP= Blech! Chinatown - check. 7 Treasures and a few of the others on Cermak.
I'm talking GOOD food. My last favourite place was Iggys, they have really great food and it's nice to have a full dinner at 1 or 2am, without getting funny looks from the waitstaff or to hear "Oh, we shut the ovens off already." Iggys has never done that to me. I'm also familiar with PickMeUp Cafe, but sometimes it can get a little "weird" in there. A lot of neighbourhood "crazies" come out at night and I don't like to be stared at through the window while I'm eating...
So what I really want to know - what other great late-night (open past midnight) places am I missing out on?
I'm sure some of you have a yen for good food at 4 in the morning and you don't want warmed over gyro meat and fries.
Thanks for any responses! -Matt

At Penn State Golf Course, Cutrell will take a one-shot lead over Dave Antill into the second round. Antill shot 4-under 67 in Monday's opening action.
William Smith and Nicolas Milito both carded 3-under 68 to tie for third -- one shot better than a trio of contenders in at 69.
All told, there are six players inside of three shots of the lead and six more just four shots back entering the second of three rounds.
Multiple-time champion Nathan Smith is not in the field, opting instead to play in the Northeast Amateur, which tees off from Wannamoisett Country Club in Rhode Island on Wednesday.

II love, love, love Primo's buttermilk bar. And when their cinamon twists are warm, they are so delicious - soft, sweet, fragrant. Overall, I'd say Primo's wins because even their worst donuts are still pretty good, however...
I did a Primo's vs Royal Donuts cinamon roll and coffee taste test a couple weeks ago. Much to my surprise, Royal came out on top in these two categories.
Looks: In a side-by-side, Royal's cinamon roll looked burnished and generously-sized compared to Primo's pale speciman. Primo's roll looked a little sad and wan.
Taste: Royal's was crisper, more caramelized and deeper flavored. Primo's was okay, but in comparison, bland and had more of an undercooked doughy taste.
Coffee: Primo's is too weak and clearly from some industrial Sysco-type brand can. They offer it for convenience, but on average, it's better to skip it. I think Primo's only has non-dairy creamer. Royal's coffee actually tastes freshly brewed, it's of normal coffee strength (i.e. not watery), and they have actual dairy creamers. I'd say it was as good as Coffee Bean across the street, and like half the price.
Royal also does a mean apple fritter, which I have yet to see at Primo's. (next, I'll have to do a Bob's vs Royal apple fritter test).
But the rest of Royal's donuts are somewhat uninspiring. The rest of Primo's are consistently decent, sometimes transcendent if you catch them while they're hot.
Also, ambiance wise, Primo's blows Royal out of the water. Primo's is bright and clean. Royal is probably clean, but it's dark and has the kind of decor that your neighborhood wino would feel comfortable in.
But if I want a cinamon roll, an apple fritter or coffee, Royal every time.

Life is full of pot holes, and this is why you are always reminded to be on constant look out for bad things and accidents. Because one minute you are minding your own business, and the next something bad happens to you. And then you are in it unluckily, but there are some people who will help you - while others will just stand idly by frozen, but even worse are the people who are non caring and see you are in trouble and just keep on walking by and don't care about you at all. But whatever people do, you must always do whatever it takes for you to survive, you must always do your best to get out of a bad situation by figuring out the best thing to do at that moment for that particular situation. Because Life is all about survival first, and then overcome by taking a bad situation and turning it out for good. And I remind you of this Beloved, because we all have some bad luck in life, we all have had those days where nothing seems to go right, and we all have had to get ourselves out of them. But we survived, and how do I know that? Because you and I are still here and we are still persevering and conquering. And so this is why today I am bringing you a reminder by sharing with you 15 People Who Are Having A Bad Day In Life And Need You... All because we are all interconnected, and if one perishes then we are all the poorer for it. Your Life Coach, James Dazouloute

Movie and Merlot
The Somerville Theatre, in Somerville Massachusetts, obtained a liquor license from the city last month in order to offer beer and wine to their mature audience. The theater [smartly] partnered with Boston-based Harpoon to sell beer for $4 a pint, as well as offering a 5-ounce glass of white or red wine for $6 which may be consumed in any of the five cinemas.
This just might be the wave of the future of cinema entertainment. As the generation x and y groups get older, their expectations begin to shift from overpriced popcorn and soda to micro-brew or wine [and over priced popcorn]. Having just taken in Spider-Man 3 this weekend, I would have loved to have replaced my $4 large diet coke with a equally priced pint of Harpoon UFO.
If the Somerville Theatre can properly self police consumption and show the city and state that this business model works and can be controlled, I might be able to enjoy my glass of Merlot when Spider-Man 4 opens a few summers from now.

Poppy Build Guide by

Poppy Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
This is my first build on Mobafire and I am happy to introduce my awe inspiring Poppy build. I started out playing Poppy back as I was a beginner to the game and played her on bottom and did absolutely horrendous. I have started playing her as my top choice for solo top in ranked games and have been smashing faces in one opponent at a time. She is a very fun and interesting champion, and I highly recommend you do so.
Pros / Cons
+ // Extremely potent late game.
+ // Extremely large burst.
+ // Makes AD Carries tremble in fear.
+ // Excellent team fighting capabilities.
+ // Highly resilient, especially at low HP.
+ // Did I mention she has a really big hammer?
- // Weak early game.
- // Kited very easily.
- // Poor early game.
- // Can farm terribly if shut down.
- // Easily harassed.
- // Focused almost every team fight.
// My masteries are built with the intent of minimizing her poor performance in the early game, increase the speed she purchases late game items, and gives her an ever so slight level advantage. The 9 in Offense are pretty standard in achieving strong physical damage. The 7 in Defense[/b are
Greater Seal of Armor
Greater Glyph of Armor
Greater Quintessence of Gold
Greater Mark of Attack Damage
My choice for runes are a very odd one and are completely based on my personal play-style.
Forreds I chose straight up AD to help give you that early game advantage where Poppy seems to be lacking in that extra "oomph."
For yellows I chose the standard flat armor because a good portion of solo tops are AD based champions.
For blues I also chose flat blues for more armor to help out your early game.
And finally, for quintessences, I chose gold per 5. The whole point of this build is to rush out of early game items as fast as possible while still maintaining early game dominance.
This is a fairly standard game should look like if things go well, not fantastic, or completely terrible throughout the game.
[Philosopher's Stone] is a bread and butter item to this build providing gold per 5 and great sustain that can keep you active for long periods of time.

In the immediate aftermath of Chicago Bulls' star point guard Derrick Rose's season-ending right knee injury, we advocated that the team conduct a fire sale of all players except Rose and youngsters Jimmy Butler, Tony Snell and Marquis Teague. In return, we hoped, veterans on the squad would fetch young assets and/or draft picks and expiring contracts. The plan was predicated on our belief that the Bulls, even with a healthy Rose, could not overtake the three-time defending Eastern Conference champion Miami Heat or the team with the conference's best record, the Indiana Pacers.
Young players like Snell, Teague, and Butler would get a chance to continue developing with an abundance of minutes, and the Bulls might finish in a draft lottery the riches of which the league has not seen in a decade. With the likely addition next season of European Real Madrid sensation Nikola Mirotic, who has been loosely compared to Dallas Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki, the Bulls develop a draft-driven team like the Oklahoma City Thunder that could be ready to compete for a championship within a few years led by one of the league's top five coaches in Tom Thibodeau.
While we endorse the fire sale, we recognize its downside of likely causing disrepair to an already rifted relationship between Bulls General Manager Gar Forman and Thibodeau and further sullying the Bulls' reputation as a desirable organization for prospective free agents. Thus, in today's piece we discuss the significant benefits of the Bulls not making any drastic changes this season.
The Bulls' young players are progressing. Teague is shooting a woeful 22% from the field but sports a 2 to 1 assist-to-turnover ratio and has tallied thirteen assists to just three turnovers in his last four games through Wednesday. He is also playing solid defense. Butler, who has not played since November 18 due to a toe injury, is averaging 11.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.8 steals, all career highs, and has established himself as one of the best wing defenders in the league. Rookie Snell, whose minutes have spiked since Buter's injury, has averaged 9.3 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists on 42.1% shooting in his last ten games.
Even if the Bulls, ravaged by injuries, still make the playoffs, they will still get a quality player in the 2014 draft. Despite his failure to acquire another superstar to play alongside a healthy Rose, Forman is adept at procuring quality talent late in the first round of the draft, and Thibodeau could coach up a manikin.
Taj Gibson was selected 26th overall in the 2009 draft. Always a defensive stalwart, Gibson is now averaging a career-high 12.3 points and 6.9 rebounds. Butler was selected with the 30th pick in the 2011 draft, Teague the 29th pick in 2012 and Snell the 20th pick in 2013. So whether the Bulls plummet into the lottery, the probability of which would have been enhanced by a fire sale, or make the playoffs, we remain confident that the team will continue drafting and developing quality players.
The salary cap landscape favors the Bulls against their chief conference rivals. If, as expected, the Bulls use the amnesty provision on forward Carlos Boozer and renounce their own free agents, the team could be committed to approximately $48 million for the 2014-15 season but probably have closer to $51-52 million in cap outlays due to various salary cap holds. The salary cap is expected to increase from $58.7, to $62.1, million
In this scenario, the Bulls would have only about $11 million in cap space to sign Mirotic. They could not obtain Mirotic through the taxpayers' midlevel exception of approximately $3.3 million annually or the non-tax payer's mid-level exception of $5.305 million because they would be below the cap and those exceptions are reserved for teams over the salary cap. If the Bulls shed Mike Dunleavy's contract for 2014-15, they might be able to increase their salary cap space to around $13-14 million, maybe enough to re-sign Deng and bring Mirotic aboard.
If Deng balked, the Bulls could still bolster their roster with the available cap space not allocated to Mirotic. A healthy Rose, Teague, possibly Mike Dunleavy, Snell, Butler, Gibson, Mirotic and Joakim Noah; one or two first round draft picks and a key veteran acquisition could give the Bulls as strong a core as any team in the East. Deng would make the core that much more formidable.
Conversely, the Bulls' primary competition in the East, the Heat and Pacers, are in much worse condition in terms of the salary cap. Indiana's salary commitments for next season are approximately $65 million, and star wing player Lance Stephenson is an unrestricted free agent who will likely command over $10 million annually.
The following season, center Roy Hibbert and forward David West can both opt out of their deals, and even if they do not, they both would become unrestricted free agents after the 2015-16 season. Will the small market Pacers be willing to pay the punitive luxury tax that takes effect next season to keep their core together? Will West and Hibbert, the latter who already tried to bolt for Portland as a restricted free agent earlier in his career, re-sign with Indiana?
Meanwhile, all of Miami's Big Three can opt out of their contracts at the end of this and next season and are scheduled to become unrestricted free agents following the 2015-16 season regardless. Key contributors Ray Allen, Shane Batttier and Mario Chalmers are free agents at season's end. If Miami does not defend its title, will the Big Three stay together? Will Heat management continue to surround them with a superior supporting cast (no one is signed on the Heat for the 2015-16 season besides possibly the Big Three). Wade and his achy knees will soon be 32.
Whether the Bulls stay the course because of their burgeoning young players, salary cap flexibility and a proven track record of drafting and developing talent, the plan is likely only as good as a healthy Derrick Rose in terms of getting back to the championship brink. The benefit of a fire sale is that the Bulls could find the next Derrick Rose in the lottery riches if he does not return to full health or, if he does, provide him with a running rate who can help the Bulls climb back atop the Eastern Conference.
The Bulls could also split the difference and make intermediate moves. The mystery is what route management will decide to employ because this season to date (8-12 record) has to be a means to an end and not the new par for the course.Powered by Sidelines Follow paulmbanks

Mets continue to stay out of the Cuban Market, as the San Diego Padres sign Cuban Defector Osvaldo Hernandez. The Left Handed 18-year old pitcher was signed to a 2.5 million dollar bonus.
C'mon Mets, get into the game…
Old News:
So this is news.
The Mets, who don't generally sign young amateur Cubans are interested in signing Osvaldo Hernandez, an 18 year old Cuban Defector, according to Jesse Sanchez of MLB.com. The Mets have never signed an amateur Cuban.
Cuban LHP Osvaldo Hernandez, 18, declared FA & can sign. He's 92-94 mph. List of teams interested include SD, CIN, HOU, NYM, ATL, TEX, BOS.
— Jesse Sanchez (@JesseSanchezMLB) February 11, 2017
Despite America and Cuba normalizing ties, Cuban players still have to leave the Island, set up residence in another country (most often the Dominican Republic) and get vetted and cleared by Major League Baseball in order to sign. International free agents in the 16 to 23 year old age range count against the team's signing pool, which started out at 2,138,200 but has dwindled down after several signings in the Dominican Republic and Venezuela over the summer. Should they go over their pool by 30%, they have to pay a 100% tax and cannot sign any players for the 2018 and 2019 bonus period for more than 300,000 (which is not much when buying International Free Agent Talent).
According to the Collective Bargaining Agreement put into place, the signing pool has turned into a minimum of 4.75 million dollars that is a hard cap. Teams interested in signing him may wait until the next July Signing Period.

I will update with more info on the player as it comes in.

Benjamin Franklin Quotes About PrejudiceQuotes about: Prejudice
History affords us many instances of the ruin of states,
by the prosecution of measures ill suited to the temper and
genius of their people. The ordaining of laws in favor of one
part of the nation, to the prejudice and oppression of another, is certainly the most erroneous and mistaken policy. ... These measures never fail to create great and violent jealousies and animosities between the people favored and the people oppressed; whence a total separation of affections, interests, political obligations, and all manner of connections, by which the whole state is weakened.
The ordaining of laws in favor of one part of the nation, to the prejudice and oppression of another, is certainly the most erroneous and mistaken policy. An equal dispensation of protection, rights, privileges, and advantages, is what every part is entitled to, and ought to enjoy.
It is wonderful how preposterously the affairs of the world are managed. We assemble parliaments and councils to have the benefit of collected wisdom, but we necessarily have, at the same time, the inconvenience of their collected passions, prejudices and private interests: for regulating commerce an assembly of great men is the greatest fool on earth
To get the bad customs of a country changed and new ones, though better, introduced, it is necessary first to remove the prejudices of the people, enlighten their ignorance, and convince them that their interests will be promoted by the proposed changes; and this is not the work of a day.

Michael Buble Christmas
October 24, 2011 by staff
Michael Buble Christmas, Michael Buble admits it was a little weird to be doing a Christmas album in July, thousands of miles from his family and loved ones, while the sun beat down in the summer in Los Angeles.
The Canadian singer is more accustomed to the proverbial chestnuts roasting-on-a-kind open-fire holiday at home with his nearest and dearest in cold Vancouver.
Not that the old soft sentimental too fussed – if you get away with it, there would be Christmas every day of the year.
"You know what I like Christmas so much that I could sing these songs and talk about it all day, every day," he says.
"It's my favorite time of year."
Christmas was – and is – a big problem in Bublé's house, to the point where it still gets a bit muffled talking about large family gatherings he remembers from his childhood.
These days, Christmas is a very different beast, but no less famous. The 36-year-old married actor and model Luisana Lopilato Argentina in Buenos Aires in March, surrounded by family and friends, including its promoter Paul Dainty of Australia.
My whole band are my best friends, so they all got up and came and we were all drunk and we had a great time, "says Buble of the wedding party.
Today Buble new family gathers around to celebrate, starting on Christmas Eve, when the Argentines celebrated traditionally, and roll on the big day itself.
"All my wife's family comes to stay with me and all spend Christmas together at home in Vancouver," says Bublé.
In fact, what some call the silly season also helped to Buble on track to become the global superstar he is today, because Bing Crosby's White Christmas album is the most influential album of his life.
"I was a child, five or six years, and was my introduction to jazz and melodious tones of his voice and style that," he says.
"I love those songs."
But such is the enthusiasm of Bublé he considers his new album, simply titled Christmas – which features old favorites such as Jingle Bells, Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, White Christmas and Night original song Cold December – to be your album more important.
"This was the album I wanted to do more than any other," he says.
Buble, in fact, already had a stab in the 2004 Christmas EP Let It Snow they have not forgotten. He says he was pressured into making a rushed time he had no power, and left a bitter taste in the mouth.
This is influence Buble, than when his record company wanted to take a similar approach to Christmas, he had his answer ready. "That's not the way to make a record," he says. "To make a record that you sweat, bleed, laugh, you cry. You get the concepts, take the time and the construction of each song."
Australian fans will be disappointed to learn that he can not see himself going back to what has always been one of the best markets – and gave him his first No. 1 beaten in 2003 – in the short term.
Right now he's focused on enjoying married life and form a family.
"I love this woman, she loves me and drove each other crazy asses," says his girlfriend.
"Me and Mo are really hoping to be pregnant by next Christmas. It would be very big and nice. I have young nieces and nephews beautiful now and it's great to see and how much they appreciate Christmas."
Life would be almost perfect for Buble, but for one thing – his beloved Vancouver Canucks lost seven games Stanley Cup finals after reaching the main event of ice hockey for the first time in 17 years.
Ice hockey-mad Canada, which is co-owner of Vancouver of the Western Hockey League Giants postponed a controversial spectacle to see the Canucks in the seventh game of the finals. It is still not over it.
"Surely I am not," he says. "In fact, I can not even see it. I do not think I will ever get over that. It was not until they win the Cup."

Porsche targets the child, not the hottie
Related topics
Are Porsches changing from chick-magnet sports cars to family-friendly suburban wagons? That appeared to be the case on Friday when the German carmaker unveiled its four-door Panamera saloon at a lavish event at the Grand Hyatt, complete with a laser show.
But everything else about the event suggested family-of-four practicality over fanciful speeding, including the baked crab snacks and mini hamburgers.
'I think we should get this one,' said one child as he clambered inside a Panamera 4S the moment the dry ice and models with fixed smiles cleared a path for him. No doubt that's exactly what Porsche executives wanted to hear.
How times are changing: five years ago it would have been the hot girlfriend who did such lobbying for a Porsche - and it would have been a two-seater.

Agricultural Sciences
Estonian agriculture is a story of connected people. From producer to processor, advisor to scientist, collaboration is key. Only like this will agricultural land remain healthy, practices environmentally sound and regional traditions respected. It is equally important to diversify rural agricultural activity, promote entrepreneurial and employment alternatives among agricultural workers, and to keep rural living enjoyable. Luckily, led by the Estonian University of Life Sciences, numeral agricultural research groups are on the case.
Chemistry and Molecular Biology
Biochemistry and molecular biology are unparalleled in terms on citations, scientific resources, and policy attention. You will find pioneering research in organic chemistry and cell biology, genomics and proteomics, as well as other groups exploring biomedicine, cell bioenergetics, and system biology. There is much to discover here, with six research centers driving progress in the field.
Exact Sciences
Exact sciences is a broad category that includes everything from particle physics to superacid chemistry to a team of astrophysicists that launched Estonia's first satellite. There is much to explore here, with pioneering international projects and technological innovation that place Estonia firmly among the leading centres of scientific thought that push the world forward.
Geo- and Biosciences
With half of its landmass covered by forests and dotted with 1,521 islands, Estonia possesses incredible biodiversity. Add large wetlands and Europe's largest oil-shale and rock phosphate deposits and it is easy to see that environmental researchers have their hands full. Geo- and biosciences bring together all those who monitor and address any environmental and ecological problems out there.
Estonia is one of the world's smallest countries to have its own educational and scientific infrastructure -- in its own language, seeped in its own cultural traditions. Humanities scholars have a dual role in Estonia: to produce top-notch international research while bearing the torch of Estonian-language culture, education, and scientific inquiry. Here are a few pointers to help you get a feel for what they do.
Medical Sciences
For nearly 300 years, the University of Tartu has been the undisputed leader in Estonian medical science. It runs dozens of clinics and institutes and has earned accolades with the Estonian Genome Centre which runs the Estonian Biobank. The biobank holds protected data on five percent of the country's adult population and is a massive boon to medical research. Click around to read more on Estonian gene studies and other medical research that strikes your fancy. You'll be here for a while.
Social Sciences
To claim success in Estonia, a social scientist must juggle international research and public expectations that one's work also be visibly applied to everyday life. As a result, a satisfying trend has emerged: Estonian social scientists are active in international projects while remaining fully plugged in to the socioeconomic quirks of a small nation.
Technical Sciences
A lot of scientific attention is reserved for the energetics and chemistry of oil shale, an abundant natural resource here that Estonian scientists have probed for nearly a century. You will also find creative sparks flying in IT, materials sciences, biotechnology, food technology, biomedicine, and a host of other fields. Most research is based at the Tallinn University of Technology while the Institute of Technology at the University of Life Sciences focuses on integrated bioenergetic materials. The University of Tartu completes the trio.

Provita Energy Has Entered Agreement With Coca-Cola Bottling Company Consolidated
DALLAS, TEXAS (October 18, 2010) – Provita Energy USA, LLC has entered into a strategic brand development and distribution agreement with Coca-Cola Bottling Company Consolidated (NASDAQ;COKE) and wholly owned subsidiary, BYB Brands, Inc. Provita Energy USA is the nation's newest line of protein and vitamin fortified products in an easy to use 3oz shot with 42 grams of protein. The new Provita products will have access to the operational and supply chain capabilities of Coca-Cola Bottling Company Consolidated and national sales handled by BYB Brands, Inc. Coca-Cola Bottling Company Consolidated has received an undisclosed equity stake in Provita Energy USA. Initial distribution will be targeted at key markets across the southeastern U.S., including but not limited to Nashville, TN and Charlotte, NC.
National sales have already begun through BYB Brands sales organization for the supermarket, supercenter, drug, mass, club, convenience and value channels.
The initial launch will include four distinct products under the Provita trademark and each product contains 42 grams of Protein and 17 essential vitamins and minerals all packed into a great tasting 3-oz shot! The line up consists of: Provita Energy, Provita Slim, Provita Chill and Provita Protein. This new line of products creates a whole new category in the world of shot products that are currently comprised of energy only brands that lack the necessary and functional attributes contained in protein and vitamins.
Provita Energy USA is the brainchild of John Polk, who is also the founder of Boo Koo Energy drinks. For the Provita products, he wanted to develop a line of good tasting protein and vitamin enhanced drinks that could provide real nutrition in a 3-oz serving. The foundation for each product is 42 grams of protein and 17 essential vitamins and minerals.
Each product is differentiated by incorporating the appropriate need state based on consumer preference, e.g., energy, weight loss, relaxation, etc. By researching sources of protein, Polk decided to use the same proteins and amino acids found in the medical community. This concentrated, Anabolic Protein is the basis for Provita products. Says Polk, "After trying every protein drink and protein bar, I decided to brew something that tastes great, goes down easy and has the essential protein and vitamin mineral combination to replace the daily needs of every consumer.
It made sense to use the same high-quality concentrated protein used in the medical community because I wanted what I call 'real nutrition' to be the basis of Provita beverages. When I sampled my first taste of Provita, I immediately knew I had something others would want to add to their daily diet. From that moment, I decided to use the recipe as the basis of each of the four products for the initial line up." " We are very excited to be partnering with Provita Energy USA. The protein RTD category is poised for very large retail dollar growth and Provita is an easy to use daily beverage for the consumers protein dietary needs." says Norman George, President of BYB Brands, Inc., and a beverage industry veteran.

Aspiring for a luxurious holiday is quite easy, but making a committed bulk payment towards a particular holiday package might be a mammoth task for individuals. To ease out the payments required towards holiday packages, companies have introduced an innovative solution in the form of savings holiday schemes offered by travel operators like Kuoni and Thomas Cook. These plans help professionals save up for big holidays, where customers can choose the destination, save the required funds over a period of 12 months with the travel operator's banking partner using a recurring deposit account. As the 13th installment, the accrued interest from the recurring deposit and a top-up discount added by the travel company, is the total savings for the customer.
Thomas Cook has partnered with ICICI Bank to introduce the Holiday Savings Account to potential holidaymakers, with the travel company offering a choice of 15 destinations. The main advantage of opting for such a plan is that the holiday package will be booked at the prevailing rate, when the deposit was started. Even if hotel tariffs and airfares rise by the time the recurring deposit matures, the customer need not pay higher rates.

"EWWWW! Why would you volunteer for that?"Posted on January 12, 2011Filed Under The Giver | 1 Comment
We're about eight chapters into The Giver. They can't cope. Just like always.
Usually I don't do a lot of "prereading prep" when we do novels. I prefer to dive right in and sort of explain/let them figure things out along the way. I think too much prep biases them or raises expectations or whatever. I think the book can usually explain itself with a little help from me.
When we read The Giver, I suspend regular KBARR reading/responding ("and there was much rejoicing"), and instead they read/respond to the class novel ("and there was much sadness"). I read their paragraph-or-so responses each day during the warm up. Then we do a Q/A session, where I tell them that I will answer any and all questions about the previous night's reading. Then the reading quiz.
What follows is the first eight chapters of The Giver in the form of questions my crew had while reading said eight chapters. See if you can follow the plot just by the questions they ask.
"Ok. So. They don't know what animals are?"
"What's a Birthmother?" (Umm…duh?)
"Do they not have cars?"
"Where is this place?"
"What if you don't know how to ride a bike?"
"This is weird." (OK, technically not a question.)
"Why are these people so weird?" (There you go.)
"Are there no toys?"
"What kind of people would name their kid Jonas?" (Really. One kid wrote that. I called him out. In fact I had a Jonas and a Fiona one year. That could have been awkward if they were in the same class–see below–. I tried to make it awkward enough anyway.)
"Do they have to tell the truth when they share their feelings? What if they lie?"
"Why can't my family have a sharing of feelings after dinner each night?" (Awww. How cute.)
"What's a fish hatchery?" (Umm…duh?)
"When they release you where do you go?" (I always have to shush the ones who have read it before.)
"So the babies just wander around by themselves if they're released? That's mean." (You don't know the half of it yet, baby.)
"Why would you play catch with an apple?"
"So did the apple change into something else, or what?" (Go back and read it again.)
"So they're watching you all the time? Like with cameras? Like stalkers?"
"You mean everything is grey?"
"Ewww. Why would you volunteer for a job like that?"
"Wait. The old people are naked? Ewwwwww."
"Does Jonas like Fiona? Does Fiona like Jonas?"
"His dream was weird." (OK. OK. He raised his hand, I called on him, that's what he "asked.")
"Why would you make us read something like that? Isn't that illegal?"
"Did he really want her to take off her clothes? That's gross! Why would you do this to us?"
"Is Jonas a perv?" (Do you even know what that means?)
"What are the Stirrings?" (Snicker – and after all of the above!)
"Does Jonas like the stirrings? Gross!"
(me) "Wouldn't we think he was weird if he didn't like it?"
"So if a kid dies, they just replace him?" (Sort of like the middle ages.)
"They recycle names? That's weird." (You don't get to say that any more.)
"Do they really hit three-year-olds? I thought there was no violence. That's mean."
(me) "How many of you have been spanked?" (About half) "Well then."
"Are you going to call your Stick The Discipline Wand now?" (Hmmmm.)
"Why do they stop counting birthdays after 12?" (They really can't cope with that one.)
"What if you don't like the job you're assigned? Can you just leave? What if you do? Do they have cops? They have judges; Jonas's mom is a judge, isn't she?"
"How do they not feel pain? That would be cool." (Lengthy detour about why it would NOT be cool.)
And we're just getting to the good part.

"My interest in serviette folding was born on a wet day at my Grandmother's house, I was a pre teen and helping her with the ironing and watched while she ironed serviettes into wonderful shapes and neatly stacked them for use. I asked her to show me how and she did. Once you know several folds and people see them, they often have at least one other that you haven't seen before, you gain knowledge of the new one and on it goes. Now that I have already posted all the napkin folds I know, I decided to look on the net for some new ones to learn. This one was called the Cardinal Hat and as far as I can see it's more of less identical to my Fleur de Lis fold, (Serviette/Napkin Folding, the Fleur De Lis) except that the tuck at the back is fractionally different (personally I found this made it harder to fit the two ends into each other so I have kept my simpler Fleur de Lis tuck) and the loose points at the top of the final front are not turned down. Although very similar, since it is considered to be a fold in it's own right I have included it here."

A friend of mine told me that Denis Johnson had a new book out. I said, "Who?" He said, "!!!" I took it that Denis Johnson was someone I should know. I went to a bookstore and picked up a book of his called, Jesus' Son. When I realized that the title was a reference to a Lou Reed lyric, I decided I would bring it home. And what a little bruiser I've let enter my mind. The book is intense. It reads like Bukowski, but lyrical, and stripped of the false bravado Bukowski pretended to hate. The guy is good for lots of pretty little turns of phrase: "The green silence after the hailstorm" "Under a sky as blue and brainless as the love of God." The writing is compact and intense and pulls beauty out of the muck, but takes only small pieces of it, slowly, one at a time so the overall mood can be sustained and stay intact. My favorite paragraph in the book:
"I'd been staying at the Holiday Inn with my girlfriend, honestly the most beautiful woman I'd ever known, for three days under a phony name, shooting heroin. We made love in the bed, ate steaks at the restaurant, shot up in the john, puked, cried, accused one another, begged of one another, forgave, promised, and carried one another to heaven."
It's always great when a writer of the so-called "tough literature" is not afraid to use commas instead of fragments. This guy reminds you of a lot of different writers, which only makes you remember that he's not quite like any of them.
A neo-pulp classic, that's supposed to have been been based on the stations of the cross, this book will get you drunk on the towering bigness of the sadly beautiful smallness of American life...and you can't not like this book a lot.
If I ever start a band, I'm going to name it after his story, "Dirty Wedding", and oh...we will ROCK!
