I named myself after my bike (Ghost 4900). It's naff and i need a different one. I was thinking of Myrtle (Harry Potter) but am open to suggestions.
I've had some colourful nicknames over the years so not easily offended but i may want to put my forum name on some kit one day - although at my age it's more likely to be identifying my zimmer frame
How about " I'm Not Dead Yet" ?
Whatever name you choose Paulie B will be convinced you're really DF3
Ghostess I take it your a massive harry potter fan then? Or is it a height referance?
If it is a height referance I have a load of jokes all lined up but if sarah see's this thread she might kill me.
gnomes can be I married one.
Evil/grumpy smerf, pocket rocket, tiny terror, mighty midget, ancle biter.
Scream - p'raps i should go with "conspirator".
Sussex - i don't want to tempt fate.
Cake - Myrtle was the only female ghost name i knew and i'm average height (5ft 6in)
Flob - OMG that name makes me feel (no offence). I will deffo not be hairy after head shave next week.
I think Ghostess is a nice name.
I like the name 'Whoopi'.
It also has a tenuous link to your current forum name.
Pudge wrote (see)
I like the name 'Whoopi'. It also has a tenuous link to your current forum name.
OMG Pudge, Whoopi is my mountain bike's name - 'coz she is the colour purple
Or a Claude Butler ?
There you are then, Whoopi it is.
Don't forget to mention where that came from, when you write your memoirs....
I have a spare name left over from my forum request now what was it?
Just read your thread meface, PMSL.
Literatin, I feel that Ghostess is a bit dainty for me, Gusto might be better or even Gutsy actually (as in keg belly rather than six pack).
i like ghostess
When the kids can read I might need to change it for a while!
Could you not get a new bike?
Based on the call of the pirates how about "iLean"?
Don't change your name Ghostess. We know who you are now, and you'll just confuse us
I like Ghostess. It's a cool name.
TBH, I can't see why you need to change your name. As Mouse says, you're known as Ghostess now so why change.

Dairy supply chain modernisation in Poland – what about those not keeping the pace?
AbstractTaking into consideration a significant outflow of Polish farmers from dairy sector, we investigate what factors determine their decision to quit milk sales. We also analyse their current revenues and compare with that of similar households that remained in commercial milk production. Using logit model we find that severing relations with the market is mainly determined by worse endowment of farms with dairy specific assets, smaller cow herds and older age of the farm manager. Based on semi-parametric matching methods we find that in terms of revenues farms that decided for subsistence milk production perform worse than those that maintained commercial dairy business. However, more detailed analysis shows that this difference could be attributed to supply chain modernisation and becomes insignificant once subsistence farmers are compared to commercial farms supplying traditional marketing channel.

The Florida High School Athletic Association finalized its proposed district realignment for the next two football seasons Friday.
After a month-long appeals process, only a few changes were made to the original proposed breakdown.
As originally slated, defending state champions Miami Booker T. Washington and Fort Lauderdale University School will play in Class 4A.
Defending Class 6A state champion Miami Central, however, will remain in that classification after originally being placed in Class 7A — a move that could have put it on a collision course with defending 7A champ Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas.
Central will be part of a new seven-team District 16-6A that includes Miami Northwestern, Miami Carol City, Miami Norland, Homestead, Miami Belen Jesuit and Hialeah-Miami Lakes.
Hallandale and Southwest Ranches Archbishop McCarthy will move to District 15-6A, an eight-team group that also includes Fort Lauderdale Dillard, Pembroke Pines Charter, Fort Lauderdale Stranahan, Coconut Creek, Boynton Beach and Riviera Beach Suncoast.
North Miami Beach, Reagan/Doral, Miami Beach, South Miami, Southridge Miami and Miami Sunset will all be playing in Class 8A.
11-8A: Coral Springs, Coral Glades, Deerfield Beach, Douglas, Monarch, Piper, South Plantation, Taravella; 12-8A: Cooper City, Cypress Bay, Everglades, Flanagan, McArthur, Miramar, Western. 13-8A: Dr. Krop, Hialeah, Hialeah Gardens, North Miami, North Miami Beach, Reagan; 14-8A: Columbus, Coral Gables, Miami High, Miami Beach, Coral Park, South Miami; 15-8A: Braddock, Ferguson, Sunset, Southwest, Varela; 16-8A: Coral Reef, Killian, Palmetto, Southridge, South Dade.
14-7A: Boyd Anderson, Fort Lauderdale, Northeast; 15-7A: Hollywood Hills, Nova, Plantation, South Broward, St. Thomas Aquinas; 16-7A: American, Mater Academy, Miami Springs, Westland Hialeah.
15-6A: Archbishop McCarthy, Boynton Beach, Coconut Creek, Dillard, Hallandale, Pines Charter, Stranahan, Suncoast; 16-6A: Belen Jesuit, Hialeah Miami Lakes, Homestead, Carol City, Central, Norland, Northwestern.
15-5A: Plantation American Heritage, Cardinal Gibbons, Key West, Jackson, Pompano Beach.
7-4A: Belle Glade Glades Central, Riviera Beach Inlet Grove, North Broward Prep, Somerset Academy, University School; 8-4A: Gulliver Prep, Edison, Monsignor Pace, Booker T. Washington.
8-3A: Archbishop Carroll, Chaminade-Madonna, Westminster Christian.
8-2A: Barrington Christian, Champagnat Catholic, Coral Springs Christian, Dade Christian, Highlands Christian.
Independents: Archbishop Curley, Blanche Ely, Calvary Christian, Coral Shores, Coral Springs Charter, Doral Academy, Florida Christian, Goleman, Hillel, Immaculata-La Salle, Keys Gate Charter, Marathon, Miami Country Day, Mourning, Northwest Christian, Palmer Trinity, Pine Crest, Princeton Christian, Ransom Everglades, South Florida HEAT, West Broward, Westminster Academy, Zion Lutheran.
• District 16-5A final — Coral Reef 1, South Dade 1 (2OT CR wins by PK 4-3): Sophomore goalkeeper Diego Gaitan made a valiant effort stopping two penalty kicks as Coral Reef won the district final at Tropical Park on Friday.
The score was 1-1 and it all came down to penalty kicks after going through a scoreless double overtime.
Miles Whiting scored for Coral Reef, and Humberto Blanco scored for South Dade.
Despite South Dade controlling the momentum the first half, it came down Gaitan. He blocked South Dade's first and last kicks that gave the Barracudas the chance they needed to win.
The wining penalty kicks came from Austin Ruel, Kyle Cividanes, JeanPaul Lopez and Miles Whiting.
The Barracudas will face Coral Gables in the regional quarterfinals.
District 16-2A final — Ransom Everglades 0, Gulliver 0 (RE wins 4-3 in PKs): Ransom's two regular-season losses came at against Gulliver, but host Ransom finally got its revenge in the District 16-2A final.
After two scoreless overtimes, Ransom won 4-3 in penalty kicks.
Already down by the decisive margin, Gulliver's Alexander Moztarzadeh had his penalty-kick attempt ricochet off the left post to seal his team's fate. Matt Lirman, Fran Carrera-Justiz, Jeremy Peters and David Goldstein converted penalty kicks for Ransom.
"In PKs, they're ice. They do so well," Ransom coach David Villanova said. "It's a mental game, and we preach to them in penalty kicks it's about 80 percent mental, 20 percent technical."
• Region 4-4A semifinal — Miami Springs 1, Mater Academy 0:
Taking on Mater Academy in a Region 4-4A semifinal at Traz Powell Stadium, a team it watched celebrate on the same field one week earlier following a district championship victory, Miami Springs came up big when it counted most.
A breakaway one-on-one goal by senior Ale Salazar in the game's 26th minute stood up as the Golden Hawks prevailed 1-0 and now advance to their eighth regional final in the past nine years. Springs will head north on Tuesday to take on either Stuart South Fork or Melbourne, which play Saturday night in Stuart in the regional final.
"Our girls definitely came out with a lot more aggression tonight having lost to them last week, and it showed up right away," said Springs coach William Drew, whose team improved to 17-5-4. "We did a really nice job of passing from point to point and not trying to go over them, which is the mistake we made last week.."
In the game's 26th minute, Springs' Sophia De la Puente knifed a perfect ball down the middle, and Salazar split the defense creating a one-on-one with Mater goalkeeper Julia Sanchez and scored.
"Sophie and I have played together for a long time. We read each other's eyes well, and I read her eyes when she sent me the pass," Salazar said. "Once the ball got through, it was just a matter of getting the keeper to commit and then nailing it."

In Northampton. It was so fucking amazing and surreal. I was there with my best friend, Forrest, and we were having such a fucking blast.
Bad Rabbits, a band from Boston, opened for them and they were pretty fucking sweet. Forrest and I were dancing and wondering why the crowd seemed so dead. It's a concert, loosen up and have fun. I'm going to download their album. It's free online. Forrest and I bumped into some of the members after the concert and helped them find some food. :p Northampton closes up way too early.
And then there was Taking Back Sunday.
I fucking lost my shit.
The crowd starting pushing and Forrest and I were pretty close to the stage. Mind you, the venue was pretty damn small. There's something about seeing your favourite band performing within ten feet of you. And then fucking touching your idol and singing with him.
I was practically hugging Adam Lazzara at the end of the encore. He was running and singing among the crowd. It was so amazing. That man knows how to make a show amazing.
Hold up, I'm crying.
And now I'm just going to go every moment and relive it in my mind. It was so beautiful and amazing and awesome.
And I mean all those words. I'm not throwing them around like most people do.

"It's Okay to be Neither," By Melissa Bollow Tempel
Alie arrived at our 1st-grade classroom wearing a sweatshirt with a hood. I asked her to take off her hood, and she refused. I thought she was just being difficult and ignored it. After breakfast we got in line for art, and I noticed that she still had not removed her hood. When we arrived at the art room, I said: "Allie, I'm not playing. It's time for art. The rule is no hoods or hats in school."
She looked up with tears in her eyes and I realized there was something wrong. Her classmates went into the art room and we moved to the art storage area so her classmates wouldn't hear our conversation. I softened my tone and asked her if she'd like to tell me what was wrong.
"My ponytail," she cried.
"Can I see?" I asked.
She nodded and pulled down her hood. Allie's braids had come undone overnight and there hadn't been time to redo them in the morning, so they had to be put back in a ponytail. It was high up on the back of her head like those of many girls in our class, but I could see that to Allie it just felt wrong. With Allie's permission, I took the elastic out and re-braided her hair so it could hang down.
"How's that?" I asked.
She smiled. "Good," she said and skipped off to join her friends in art.

Andrew Bross, 22, of Livingston, N.J., returned Friday to watch "The Dark Knight Rises" for the second time in 12 hours.
"I go to the movies every week," he said. "I'm going to keep going. I'm not going to let it stop me one bit."
Damon Lindelof, the co-creator of "Lost," said he was going to see the film Friday night and suggested a modest tribute: a minute of silence as the end credit roll.

db4o allows to index fields to provide maximum querying performance. To request an index to be created, you would issue the following API method call in your global db4o configuration method before you open an ObjectContainer/ObjectServer:
EmbeddedConfiguration configuration = Db4oEmbedded.newConfiguration(); configuration.common().objectClass(Person.class).objectField("name").indexed(true);
If the configuration is set in this way, an index on the Foo#bar field will be created (if not present already) the next time you open an ObjectContainer/ObjectServer and you use the Foo class the first time in your applcation.
Contrary to all other configuration calls indexes - once created - will remain in a database even if the index configuration call is not issued before opening an ObjectContainer/ObjectServer.
You can drop an index by explicitly calling index(false).Dropping the index will take place the next time the respective class is used.
You can see db4o dropping and crating indexes, when you increate the message-level.
For creating and dropping indexes on large amounts of objects there are two possible strategies:

Daily Link Love | Volume 98
Daily Link Love is a collection of our favorite finds from across the web. Things we're lusting after, crushing on, and obsessing over. If you'd like to submit a suggestion, or if you'd like us to feature a cause or project you're working on let us know.
In this post by Andi Teggart at Polish my Crown, we learn some tips and tricks for quickly recovering from a bad or chaotic day. Andi reminds us that even though we can enjoy everyday, we still have those times and days when things are not going our way. She gives us several ideas that we can use to turn our day, mood, or situation around to improve it and face it rather than hide from it. She says,
"Yes, for the most part, I do enjoy every day, but there are some days where I am just plain mad or bad or sad. Rather than just pretend this negative energy and gloom doesn't exist, I've learned to face it head on. We ALL have "those days" and it's key to step outside of the situation (aka the mood you are in, the actual physical spot you're in, whatever) and hit the REFRESH button on life."
In this post, Epistolary you, by Colleen Wainwright, she reminds us that when there is something in your life that you wish to work on or improve at, you need to do it every day. For her this was writing, for each of us we may have a different goal in mind but the key is give ourselves the time and opportunity to share in that activity in some way every single day. Think about your goal and how you can incorporate that into your life on a daily basis.
"One of the best ways to get better at anything, writing included, is to do it every day."

And they say nothing exciting ever happens in Colonie...
By ROBERT GAVIN, Staff writer Last updated: 2:20 p.m., Thursday, January 22, 2009
COLONIE A prostitution sting netted seven arrests in two locations late Wednesday, including a man who police say filmed the trysts with a Web camera out of his home.
The crackdown by the Albany County Sheriff's Department and Colonie Police targeted three reputed prostitution rings, with arrests being made in the private home and a Wolf Road hotel.
Joseph Speranza, 38, allegedly advertised on the Craigslist Web site, enticing customers for sex with women touted as "home run hitters" at his home at 26B Knauf Lane.
The spot is off Albany Shaker Road, near the Crossings at Colonie town park.
But police say Speranza also was using a Web camera for a site called erotictemptations.net. Customers paid $85 to view the sex sessions.
Police were unsure if customers were aware they would be filmed.
They arrested Speranza when an undercover officer posing as a john arrived sometime after 4:30 p.m., authorities said.
Speranza didn't take any chances, authorities said, noting he checked out the undercover cop's cellphone number through a special service. He also inspected the cop's undercover car after letting him inside, authorities said.
The cop paid Speranza $200 upfront then was expected to pay an additional fee to a woman for sex, authorities said.
Speranza was charged with third-degree prostitution, a felony, because the woman was younger than 19. He was also charged with permitting prostitution. The woman, identified as Jessica Hohler, 18, of Fort Johnson, was charged with fourth-degree prostitution.
Police seized an estimated $3,000, as well as fireworks, from the home.
Speranza, arraigned before Judge Peter Crummey in Colonie Town Court, was held without bail.
Investigators then moved on to the Wolf Road hotel where they arrested three women allegedly working for a service called "Top Notch" escorts.
Arrested were Loren Gac, 19, of Troy, who allegedly solicited an undercover cop at the hotel; Allysa DiBiase, 18, of Schenectady, who accompanied her inside, and Tarah Kloss, 19, of Rotterdam, who was waiting outside in a car, authorities said.
Gac was charged with prostitution, while DiBiase and Kloss were charged with promoting it. They were allegedly asking for $300 an hour for sexual services.
The sting ended with the arrests at the hotel of Christina Condolora, 28, of Niskayuna, and Michele Barr, 24, of Schenectady, who were allegedly working for the "Your Desires" escort service. Barr was charged with promoting prostitution, Condolora with prostitution.
They were asking for $180 per hour, authorities said.
Inspector John Burke of the sheriff's department said he was surprised at the age of those involved.
"It was shocking," he said. "We've never had that many girls that young involved in prostitution. Why?"
The women were all issued tickets to appear in court.

"My hood's famous!", your a very inconsiderate human being, whomever put this on here to get 'recognized' for their 'hood'. For starters, Colonie is not a hood by any means, and secondly what is going on in this instance is incredibly wrong and does not deserve to be mocked in this kind of manner. If someone got murdered down my street I wouldn't put a blog entry as "YO SON MY HOOD JUST GOT SHOT UP," which it has but you don't see me blogging the event. These girls come from extremely messed up places and were put in even worse situations here. They don't deserve to be put under the microscope any more than is necessary, I think being headline news is bad enough. Keep your 'hood recognition' to yourself, homeboy.

On the other hand, denying players who spend as much time playing but are unable to find the proper Guild or schedule to raid isn't quite fair, either. For the most part, people doing Heroics have nowhere else to go and nothing else to do. Giving gear to work towards is a really good addition that extends the life of the game to people who might never find an endgame raiding Guild.

NEW YORK Service centers are reporting extended lead times for certain copper flat-rolled products as copper mills have yet to add additional production, staff or shifts despite an uptick in demand.
"Right now Im seeing lead times for certain light-gauge products at 13 weeks. ... It means (demand) has picked up sufficiently so the mills are busy, but (it also means) theyre not bringing on any additional capacity (or shifts)," one service center source told AMM.
"I asked that question (to our mills). I said, It sounds like you need more shifts. They said they were just happy to be full right now," a second service center source said, adding that he isnt aware of any mills adding capacity or staff yet.
A third service center source confirmed the recent "surge in overall usage for light-gauge copper," which typically goes "crazy when we have bad weather" as it is used in electrical distribution.
"Many in the (light-gauge copper) market saw a surge after Hurricane Sandy," the third source said, adding that the most recent spike is likely due to the recent severe snow, ice and windstorms in the United States.
Light-gauge copper products are also used in automotive applications, another area that is seeing strength.
Despite improving demand, service centers dont expect mills to increase production or capacity any time soon. Equipment is expensivenew rolling stations cost an estimated $25 million to $30 millionand can take as long as 24 months to bring online.
Mills are also typically slow to hire additional employees until it is clear that higher demand will be sustained, sources said.
"Say (a mill) brought on 30 people, and six months from now they dont need them. Theyd need to file a WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification) notice. That brings a lot of negative publicity," the first service center source said. "People are slower to hire because they know theyll be slower to fire. (So) rather than invest, the mills will just add a shift or two and work some overtime. That keeps lead times out."
Still, if demand remains strong until the summer, producers might have no choice but to hire additional plant workers, the first service center source added.
"I think if we get to May or June and lead times are still out there, you will see individual companies that will be incentivized to (hire more people) and go to a multishift, seven-day-a-week schedule," he said.
Aurubis Buffalo Inc., the Buffalo, N.Y.-based division of Aurubis AG, Hamburg, Germany, told AMM that it might add workers later this year (amm.com, Feb. 11).
Not all service centers are reporting long lead times, though, with a fourth source saying hes still between four and six weeks for most copper, brass and bronze products.
However, the uptick so far this year is a welcome signthe first service center source said his company produced a record 50,000 pounds of copper, brass and bronze products in January.
"We were only 3 percent over our record, which doesnt sound like much, but our prior record was in August 2007. That was a peak for many people," the first service center source said. "I have to admit, Im doing the happy dance."

AP Sports Writer
HOUSTON (AP) -- Kevin Durant has scored 74 points combined in Oklahoma City's past two games against the Houston Rockets.
The problem is that his teammates haven't stepped up to take some pressure off the superstar, and the Rockets have won both of those games.
Houston has cut the Thunder's lead to 3-2 in the series, and is looking to become the first team in NBA history to overcome a 0-3 series deficit to win a best-of-seven playoff series.
They'll likely continue to send two or three defenders at Durant and dare other players to beat them in Game 6 Friday night in Houston.
Though it hasn't happened in the past two games, Thunder coach Scott Brooks is confident Durant will get more scoring help on Friday.
"We're getting open shots," Brooks said. "If we can get those same open shots, I feel very confident our guys are going to step up and hit those shots. Those are the same shots that they've made their entire careers."
Rockets coach Kevin McHale raved about Durant and said they'll continue to try different looks to slow him down, even if it means leaving other capable scorers unguarded.
"When you double team a guy at the top of the key where he has the ball a lot, someone's going to be open," he said. "You've just got to take the temperature of what's happening and how hot you think Durant is ... and you've just got to sometimes live with it."
While Oklahoma City is without All-Star Russell Westbrook for the rest of the season, the Rockets are dealing with several health issues as well. Point guard Jeremy Lin has missed the past two games with a bruised chest muscle. His status for Friday's game is still up in the air, but McHale said he was feeling better Thursday.
Carlos Delfino's status is also questionable after not playing in the second half because of a sore left foot. The Rockets also said on Thursday that star James Harden had been diagnosed with strep throat, but was expected to play on Friday.
He bounced back from a tough performance in Game 4 to score 31 points on Wednesday to lead Houston to the 107-100 win.
McHale was impressed with Harden's work on Wednesday, especially considering he was struggling with his illness and lacked his normal energy.
"Every day is not perfect," McHale said. "Being in that situation and having some tough games, it bothers you and you're bound and determined to come back the next night and play better."
The Rockets were also helped in Game 5 by the Thunder's decision to intentionally foul 7-foot center Omer Asik for an almost two-minute span in the fourth quarter. The career 54 percent shooter made 8 of 12 free throws to push the lead to 101-92 before Oklahoma City gave up on that plan.
Brooks said they did it because the team wasn't playing good defense and he hoped to change the rhythm of the game.
"I thought that would give us a chance," Brooks said. "Unfortunately, he stepped up. Give him credit ... something I go back on, we have to play better defense. We don't want to get into that if we don't have to. We would rather play the way we want to play, solid defense for 48 minutes."
McHale called Asik's free throw shooting a big part of the Rockets win, and said that he'd got some tutoring in the area from former Houston assistant coach and general manager Carroll Dawson.
"He practices them all the time," McHale said. "He's been doing a great job. Earlier in the fall, Carroll Dawson really worked with him on changing his technique a little bit. He's been working on it and working on it and he's getting more confident."
Some Houston players were irked at Durant for saying "hack-a-whatever-his-name-is" when referring to the tactic on Asik.
"He knew his name," Chandler Parsons said. "The guy has had two double doubles in a row. He's one of the best centers in the NBA. He knows his name. If he didn't know, he does for sure now."
Brooks wasn't as concerned about his tactic on Asik not working as he was about why his team keeps struggling on defense in the third quarter. Houston scored 38 points in the third quarter of Game 4 and 37 points on Wednesday night.
"I know that's not who we are because it hasn't been who we are for a lot of years," Brooks said.

Interaction Between: Nokia Intrusion Prevention and Nokia Firewall
Download Now Free registration required
Executive Summary
Firewalls provide protection between external networks and internal networks by blocking potentially malicious traffic from entering the internal network infrastructure. However, firewalls inherently need to allow SMTP/email, FTP, SIP/VoIP calls, and other protocols with minimal payload security inspection, which may also allow external threat sources to infect internal end-points and use them as threat sources. A firewall's deep-packet inspection capabilities are not as strong as an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS). Nokia Intrusion Prevention provides the flexibility to interact with Nokia Firewall, providing the most effective strategy for threat mitigation, both at the perimeter and deep within the core. This paper explains the interaction between Nokia Intrusion Prevention and Nokia Firewall.

As the chief of the Division of Neurosurgery at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and a Professor of Neurosurgery and Pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania, I have been a member of the team at CHOP since my residency in the late 1970s.
My early work at CHOP focused on brain tumor research including extensive study on surveillance imaging in which I sought to reduce the frequency of scanning children with brain tumors. I was appointed assistant neurosurgeon here in 1981 and I currently operate on tumors of the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves.
Our neurosurgery division maintains a brain tumor database and conducts ongoing molecular analysis of the different tumor types to determine the causes of different brain tumors. We are constantly evaluating the four treatment options for tumors: surveillance, surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy, and our research is always providing us with ways to best utilize these four options to produce the best outcome.
People choose to come to CHOP because we have a lot of experience taking care of kids with brain tumors, and we have every possible treatment available to us. New technologies aside, it is still the skill and judgment of the surgeon that makes all the difference.
In 1997, I performed the very first early term fetal repair for myelomeningocele, the most severe form of spina bifida. This groundbreaking procedure established a new avenue of treatment for children with spina bifida. I was painfully aware of how disabled these kids were from myelomeningocele – the paralysis, the incontinence and the endless numbers of operations for shunts. If we had the potential to alter this course for children, it was well worth doing.
Over the next several years, our team perfected the surgery technique which led to CHOP's involvement in the "Management of Myelomeningocele Study" (MOMS). This randomized, clinical trial proved that babies who receive surgery before birth experience significantly better outcomes than those who undergo traditional repair of the defect after birth.
I perform both surgeries and recognize that very few people in medicine ever have the opportunity to change a whole disease and how it is managed. It is the neatest thing I have ever been involved with in my entire professional life. I will continue his focus on fetal repair, exploring new techniques for hydrocephalus, and brain tumors, and perfecting current procedures and training other surgeons.
My patients continue to inspire me and the most gratifying thing is seeing a little sick kid that feels better. Kids get sick really fast and they get better really fast. You have a desperately ill child and you do an intervention and you have a healthy, happy kid who goes home. That's what it's all about.
I have published more than 190 peer reviewed articles in journals such as JAMA, The New England Journal of Medicine, and the Lancet. I have also authored 90 book chapters. I have a penchant for motorcycles and drive a Harley Davidson Road King Classic.« Back to Previous Page

You have to go to Sweden to see Robyn headline a stadium. It's not fair, but last weekend, I was fortunate enough to find myself in Stockholm for a whirlwind several days' journey into the epicenter of all great things pop music (more on that to come), but the crown jewel of the experience happened on the day of my arrival — an epic concert to inaugurate Sweden's new Tele2 Arena, featuring Robyn alongside fellow pop act Zhala, rock band Kent and singer-songwriter Lars Winnerbäck.
The space was built to accommodate 40,000 people — for context, Barclays Center, Madison Square Garden and Staples Center can each accommodate about 18,000 — and the floor and stands were packed. After all, Robyn, who has a relatively niche following stateside (at least compared to her superstar contemporaries), is a proper celebrity there, a boldface name every bit deserving of commanding such a spectacular crowd.
What was most dazzling, though, were the visuals — multicolored flashing neon lights gave the show a dizzying intimacy of a rave in an impressively expansive space. (I posted a few Instagram videos with helpful titles like "WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK OH MY GOD" because watching thousands upon thousands of people sway their arms in unison as Robyn took the stage was sincerely awe-inspiring.)
The hourlong set was mercifully hits-centric and filler-free. "Show Me Love" transitioned seamlessly into "Cry When You Get Older," then an attitude-packed "U Should Know Better" into "Hang With Me," which was synth-spangled and lush. Producer Christian Falk joined her on stage for a few songs together, including the extraordinarily great and underrated "Dream On," but by the time she hit the one-two punch of her two most heartbreaking songs, "With Every Heartbeat" and "Dancing On My Own," it was over: Bathed in pink and purple flashing lights, she whipped across the stage, dancing furiously.
Likewise, her Rokysopp collaboration "The Girl And The Robot" and the underrated "Indestructible" (which might have been the weakest of her three lead Body Talk singles, but that's only because "Dancing On My Own" and "Hang With Me" are so totally spectacular) were glittering and expertly executed, before an abridged version of "We Dance To The Beat" led seamlessly into "Don't Fucking Tell Me What To Do," closing out the show.
Robyn is always an electrifying performer, but there was something particularly special about seeing her in her native country — and more so than I remembered, she was frantic with her dancing, wild and almost primal in her funny yellow racing suit. At times the crowd swayed their arms and vibed along with her, but they also went curiously quiet (in a distinctly un-American way) during the more commanding moments. That was fine. If she was dancing on her own, she didn't seem to mind.

Interviewer: And why did you want to be the Doctor?
Christopher Eccleston: Because Russel T. Davies wrote it and because it was an audience in an area of television I hadn't worked in. I've not had the privilege to act for children, really. And because I'm constantly told I'm not funny and I'm not charming, and they were some of the demands in the role, so I wanted to…I felt it was a big gamble. There's two reasons to do it, Russel T. Davies and the gamble. And I like a gamble. I think it's important as an actor, in any sphere of life, to do the things that frighten you most.

Hi, Cheese here – welcome to another BtH post where I espouse the wonders of bands based in the Bay Area.
This time, it's Walnut Creek's own The Story So Far: the pop-punk band released a new single, Right Here, yesterday, and it's great:
The song was co-produced by Steve Klein of New Found Glory, and is our first taste of TTSF's new album, What You Don't See, which will be released on March 26th. Their debut, Under Soil and Dirt, lit a fire under the ass of the pop-punk community, and judging by Right Here, their new one is sure to put them even higher up on the map.
Pre-orders for the new LP are up now – hit the link below to get in on the fun.

This is the sequel to LittleFoot. If you haven't seen it, this movie will make very little sense ;)
I originally intended the littleFoot sequel to be a movie called 'Waterlollies' of around 6-7 min. I emailed a hero of mine, legendary Pogues whistle player Spider Stacy (the main influence on my own musical tastes) to ask if he would create an intro theme tune of 20-30 seconds that I could use at the start of every Brackenwood episode. He agreed, but he went better than that. He got some mates together and created this amazing 3 min song that kicks arse.
When I listened to the tune for the first time, all I could see in my mind was Bitey rocketing over the Brackenwood landscape. So I decided to create a standalone movie that was basically a music video for this song.
You won't find a story here, just a 3min action sequence that follows on directly from littleFoot.
"Waterlollies" is my next Brackenwood installment which will be finished sometime in March 2007. Check out my site for some preview screenshots.
I also wanna thank all of Newgrounds admin, staff and members for your support of my work. Couldn't keep doing this without ya.

Man, even after all these years this piece still gives me chills. Flash animation like this had such a short heyday (I think it hit its peak maybe 2002-2006?), but it's works like this that make me feel that the form really could stand on its own artistically. It was an amazing piece when it was made and it's still amazing today.

Well, there's nothing to worry about getting a star tattoo. More and more people are getting this design nowadays. And we're not talking about just bikers or drunken sailors here; there are celebrities, models, even fathers and mothers who decide to get star tattoos. A star is one of the most common symbol ever known. You are able to learn more about a complete stranger by identifying the kind of star he has as a tattoo.
Star of David
This kind of star is six-pointed. It also sometimes called "Solomon's Seal". Although the person who has this six-sided star tattoo may identify with Jewish culture and history personally, he may not necessarily be Jewish. Back then, Jews were forced to wear a Star of David in Nazi Germany to determine a bulls-eye target. If you see someone with a star tattoo, it may be that he is feeling a little prosecuted. It could also be that one of his relatives died in the concentration camps, and the star tattoo is his constant reminder of this part of his life.
This kind of star has been around for thousands of year. It is one of the most powerful but commonly misinterpreted symbols in recent times. Usually, pentagram wearers were associated with Satanism and witchcraft. Although some Satanists often wear pentagrams, they wear an inverted pentagram, with the single point downwards symbolizing power over spirit. The wearer of the upside-down pentagram star could either mean he is a Satanist or just enjoys shocking people for the sake of surprising them.
So what does the pentagram tattoo pointing upward mean? In contrast with the upside down pentagram tattoo, this depicts a good meaning because it symbolizes having the power over the elements. The upright pentagram is a religious symbol of Wiccans, Pagans and other kinds of Earth-based religions. These people are believers of peace and speak about their faith only when asked and they are also promoters of life. A pentagram shown inside a circle is called a pentacle, which is often used as a symbol of protection.
Other Star Variants
When a wish is made on a shooting star, it represents happy times filled with special promise. This is perhaps one of the reasons the star tattoo is a popular design. Shooting stars also represent great changes. The famous chain of stores, Macy's, has a five-pointed red star as its logo and the founder of the company is believed to be sporting such a tattoo.
While it is correct that there are a lot of ways on how we can express ourselves, there is but one among the most daring ways to do it while creating a statement that will sure last for a lifetime - getting a tattoo. When it comes to tattoos, the star design is perhaps the most admired and most popular one. However, this can also be lacking in appeal and can be very boring since star tattoo ideas have become very ordinary among the population.
However, a true star gazer and star lover may not help but be fascinated with the star design and decide to have it as a tattoo. Do not worry about commonality, as there a various ways of making an exclusive star tattoo, personalized with the help of some star tattoo ideas. Below are a few great star tattoo ideas that can help you design your own that would represent your real self.
Is there really another star shape aside from the five-pointed star that has been known to us since the day we learned how to draw? The five-pointed star is what first comes to our minds whenever we talk about stars. Well, it's time to have a little research and to get those creative minds working! A four-pointed star (also referred to as cross shaped star) is simple and elegant, yet it can also be a base for more artistic star tattoo designs to make it distinctively unique and more attractive.
The next of the tattoo star ideas that you can consider is the pentacle, which symbolizes witchcraft and the dark side in general. However, this pentacle star tattoo idea is also gaining popularity as a tattoo selection for most people.
Religious people, on the other hand, may opt for the Star of David, the six-pointed star. Ironically, history has it that it also represents Remphan, the pagan god. There is also the cross of St. John, an eight-pointed star tattoo that is known to symbolize the emblem of Knights of Malta, which is one of the most admired religious societies during the crusades.
At the end of the day, if you like the representation of being a wholly perfected and balanced person, the seven-pointed star is a perfect symbol for you. Aside from that, it also represents childhood fanciful characters like that of a fairy. You can select any of these star tattoo ideas and add your personal touch to it to make a more exceptional and eye-catching star tattoo design.

Message from President Larry McLellan – Spring/Summer 2014
Welcome to the 41st season of Lompoc Civic Theatre! Our next show is the dinner theater production of
Miracle on South Division Street
by Tom Dudzick, a Santa Barbara County premiere. Each of this season's plays touches on hidden lives or secret events from the past, all of which come to be seen differently over time. In
Miracle on South Division Street
, director Marian Stave has gathered an excellent cast and crew to tell the heartwarming story of Clara Nowak, her three grown children and the statue of the Blessed Mother that mysteriously appeared in her father's barbershop in 1943. Our season opened in March with
Clutter: The True Story of the Collyer Brothers Who Never Threw Anything Out
by Mark Saltzman, in which two policemen in 1947 uncovered the secret lives and deaths of New York City's two infamous hoarders. Our excursion into the past continues this fall with
Ghosts of El Camino Real
, an original play by LCT members Michael Callahan and Albert Thompson. Two contemporary visitors to a California mission hear the tale of a young Indian woman, forbidden love, jealous rivalry—and ghosts.
LCT is very happy to be working again this year with Kristie Stavoli and her dedicated staff at the Village Country Club. Please let your friends and family know about
Miracle on South Division Street
, which had a full house at its premiere on May 17. Additional performances are scheduled for June 7, June 28, July 19 and August 23. Reservations are required by the Thursday before each Saturday's performance. In addition to our shows, LCT members are planning to organize a number of summer workshops, including new play development, publicity, acting and lighting. As plans come together, details will be posted on our website. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to thank all the individuals, businesses and organizations that support LCT as we celebrate keeping theatre LIVE in Lompoc since 1973!--Larry McLellan

I'm on vacation from Sept. 25 to Oct. 8. So anything I post during these dates were completed before that. If you have breaking news, contact my colleague Melissa Ruggieri at firstname.lastname@example.com or editor Tracy Brown at email@example.com. If not, I'll certainly catch you all up when I get back to work!
Every month or so, I've given you a glimpse from the past from Star 94, Dave FM, V-103 and Kicks 101.5, courtesy of Mediabase 24/7, which tracks airplay going back to 1998. This month, we take a look at what Q100's top 10 songs were the week of Sept. 26, 2001, ten years ago.
Since Q100 focuses on newer songs, it's no surprise not a single song on this list is on Q100's current playlist. Just one of the songs has even been played on Q100 this calendar year: Alicia Keys' classic "Fallin' "
1. "I'm Real" Jennifer Lopez featuring Ja Rule. A year ago, I would have said both these acts were no longer relevant, but Lopez landed a judge spot on "American Idol" and voila! She has two current hits under her belt. Ja Rule? Still absent. As for this song, it was during the peak of her music career and I actually liked it, as did plenty of other folks at the time because it hit No. 1 on the Billboard top 100. But I haven't heard it in years. Only 24 stations nationwide measured by Mediabase 24/7 spun the song last week, none in Atlanta.
Spins to date on the station: 2,352
Last heard on Q100: 3/21/2008
2. "Hit 'Em Up Style" Blu Cantrell. This was a classic one-hit wonder, produced by Atlantan Dallas Austin. It was catchy and fun, with an insouciant revenge theme. It peaked at No. 2 at the time on the top 40 charts at the time. Forty-six stations from all types of formats spun it last week nationwide, none in Atlanta.
Spins to date: 1,930
Last heard on Q100: 10/13/2008
3. "Fallin" Alicia Keys. If one song on this list has endured, it's this one. It has become a staple on radio for years and an oversung audition tune on "American Idol" to boot. It has enduring melodies, vocals and thematics. As noted earlier, it's the only song from this list Q100 played this year. And it was spun 782 times last week on more than 230 stations. Kiss 104.1 and B98.5 both played it four times last week. That's impressive given the song's relative age.
Spins to date: 1,850
Last heard on Q100: 3/31/2011
4. "Let Me Blow Ya Mind" Eve featuring Gwen Stefani. If you think there are a lot of rappers/singer combos in 2011, there were plenty in 2001, too. This was certainly one of the better ones, arguably better than "I'm Real." It was a huge hit in the summer of 2001, peaking at No. 2 on the top 40 chart and Q100 ate it up at the time. It isn't the type of song, though, that has been kept on radio to any degree. Only 47 stations (none in Atlanta) spun the song 107 times last week.
Spins to date: 3,087 (most of any of the songs in this top 10)
Last heard on Q100: 11/7/2010
5. "It's Been Awhile" Staind. This is the only rock song that made the top 10 back when Q100 was much more of a rhythmic top 40 station. It was a big crossover hit that originated on stations such as 99X and epitomized the mopey, dark, post-grunge tunes of the era. It peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent a whopping 20 weeks at the top of the mainstream rock radio chart and 16 on the modern rock chart. Project 9-6-1 and Star 94 both still have the song on their playlist. Surprisingly, this song was spun 785 times last week on radio, three more spins than Alicia Keys' "Fallin' " It obviously still tests well a decade later. Almost every active rock station still plays it while significant majorities of alternative stations do as well. And nearly half of Hot AC stations played it, too.
Spins to date: 2,399
Last heard on Q100: 3/30/2007
6. "Someone to Call My Lover' Janet. Why did Janet Jackson decide to just call herself Janet for this song? No idea! I haven't heard this tune in many moons but in listening to it again on YouTube, it's really a delightfully sweet summer tune that borrows a bit from America's song "Ventura Highway." It was the last single to reach the top 10 for Janet Jackson. Sadly, it has had virtually zero staying power. Only seven stations nationwide (none in Atlanta) spun it just 15 times last week.
Spins to date: 1,850
Last heard on Q100: 10/15/2006
7. "I Do" Toya. I barely remember this song by an artist who only had two top 20 hits. This one peaked at No. 16 on the Billboard Top 100. It's perfectly danceable but her career vanished soon after. Not surprisingly, radio has completely forgotten about this song. Only two stations played it among all stations measured by Mediabase 24/7 last week.
Spins to date: 1,768
Last heard on Q100: 8/25/2004
8. "I'll Fly With You" Gigi D'Agostino. This was a big international dance hit and reflected Q100's desire to be a Atlanta's dance station at the time. It barely made a dent otherwise on the top 40 charts and never really became a regular on radio stations. It was spun six times nationwide last week.
Spins to date: 505
Last heard on Q100: 1/12/2008
9. "U Remind Me' Usher. Atlanta's already legendary R & B singer was on his second big album in 2001. This slinky pop song became his third big hit and landed at No. 1. He'd have plenty more, so much so that this wasn't one of his more lasting hits on radio. Notably, his former squeeze Chilli was in the video. Last week, 53 stations spun the song 85 times, none in Atlanta.
Spins to date: 811
Last heard on Q100: 11/7/2008
10. "Clint Eastwood" Gorillaz.. This was an animated cat, like the Archies, but much cooler. It only peaked at No. 57 on the Billboard Top 100 but was a No. 3 hit on the modern rock chart and No. 6 on the dance club chart. Again, Q100 was playing more dance hits than it is now. I liked this tune. It's got a cool vibe, even ten years later. Interestingly, 49 out of 69 alternative rock stations spun it last week, including Alt Nation on Sirius/XM.
Spins to date: 527

In order to stay ahead as a mocker these days, you must nail your subject for good.
Guest and his co-writer, Eugene Levy, aren't afraid to chew off the hand that feeds them.
For Your Consideration won't win an Oscar, but it probably will win some adulation from hard-core Guest fans.
Individual scenes come across as amusing, but Guest loses comic momentum when he shifts between the shooting of the lachrymose Home for Purim and the segments lampooning entertainment media.
Fans of Guest's brand of repertory-company character comedies will find a few reasons to grin. But even the fanatical will have to admit that this one is hardly worth considering.
For Your Consideration always seems a bit too tame for its own good: It never busts out the way you hope it would.
For Your Consideration is not Guest at his best, but it's still an enjoyable way to spend a few hours and the company you'll keep is memorable enough.
Aside from an occasional chuckle, For Your Consideration is banal and, worst of all, frequently annoying.
The blunt of derision ends up falling not on the shallowness of the system but on the pathetic souls who thought something would come out of it
The point is that Hollywood types are--gasp!--shallow. If that news shocks anyone, check your pulse, because you may have been in a coma for 80 years.
The film-within-a-film narrative device falls flat because the inner story is a melodrama with no comic momentum of its own.
For Your Consideration might indeed be a bridge too far for the Guest troupe, but seeing it makes you want to liberate his inventive women for other projects
The problem with FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION is that it breaks the cardinal rule of comedy: it just isn't funny.
While they do pull a few punches (to the detriment of the story), there are enough laughs and great performances to rescue the film from the dustbin.
I would rather stay home and watch TV than walk across the street to watch this movie for free.
Guest stretched himself a little thin this time, as For Your Consideration is not quite up to his usual standards.
Isn't quite as on-target as [Guest's] previous efforts, but his talented troupe again delivers more giddy laughs than just about any other comedy out there.
For Your Consideration may be a little too insider-ish for viewers unfamiliar with the very real workings of awards hype. However, if you follow such things, there are plenty of knowing laughs to be found.
Along with his writing partner Levy - the only man who can be upstaged by his own eyebrows - Guest is dealing in cheap shots and broad strokes.
May be a small jewel but it is certainly better value than half the biggies around just now.
The best jokes are the true jokes, and truth has not been best served here.
Would have been much better as a 30-minute TV show, with not enough of a plot for a full film.
In the running for the 'Best Rethink Of An Established Formula' award, so we'd like to thank the director and his cast for keeping the chortles coming.
Guest goes for big, crude laughs every step of the way, and only a few of them come off.
Audience Reviews for For Your Consideration
Super Reviewer
Super Reviewer
For Your Consideration is at times a mildly amusing mocumentary, but for the most part it's jokes fall flat. This is widely considered Guest's worst mocumentary and I'd have to say I agree. I don't know what went wrong here, but you'd think this could have been one of Guest's best.�
The story revolves around the shooting of and talent involved in a movie called Home for Purim(later to be called Home for Thanksgiving). The movie deals with Oscar hype and how it affects some of the movies stars. It's easy to tell when the movie wants to be funny; but most of the time it's just not. It still has it's moments of laugh-out-loud humor; it's just not what I expected from a Guest film.�The usual cast is involved here again. All of Guest's standards are here; Parker Posey, Fred Willard and Eugene Levy just to name a few.�
This is a really disappointing movie because we've already seen what Guest could do with the likes of This is Spinal Tap and Waiting for Guffman. For Your Consideration really deserves no consideration as a good mocumentary. �
Super Reviewer
It took me a little while to warm up to this one, but eventually I got into it and it had some pretty funny moments. It is really quite clever in places, and it's probably not that much of a stretch that a small movie and those involved could be swept up in the rumors of possible Academy Awards in such an extreme manner.
The usual Guest regulars are all here, and so is his particular sense of humor that you either get, or you don't. It's a safe bet that you'll probably like For Your Consideration about as much as you liked other Guest movies like Best in Show. Manage your expectations accordingly.
