Andrew Bird
Multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter Andrew Bird has captured audiences around the world with his unique style. Through amazing vocals, whistling, violin, guitar and glockenspiel, this Chicago-born musician seems to have brought about a new phase of folk and indie rock.
Bird began studying the violin at age four and launched his professional music career in 1996, after graduating from Northwestern University with a degree in violin performance. That same year he released his first solo album, Music of Hair. Since then Bird has worked in two bands, the Squirrel Nut Zippers and his own Bowl of Fire, played in countless album collaborations, and produced eight albums.
Bird's 2007 album Armchair Apocrypha received national acclaim and put him at the top of many "best of" lists that year. Paste wrote on Armchair Apocrypha Bird is "simultaneously at his most clever and most luminous." Bird has developed a finesse for off-kilter pop that takes mortality, confusion, and unexpected realizations as its subject," wrote The Onion AV Club.
His most recent album Noble Beast, released in January, has been a hit among critics and fans alike. The Austin Chronicle said, "With Noble Beast, Bird proves that he's a whistling Renaissance man for modern times." Alternative Press said, "It's less mopey than Bright Eyes, less pompous than Sufjan Stevens and better than almost everything else."
"Bird could be the only performer who's lit up both Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo with a combination of vocals, violin, guitar, glockenspiel and whistling … he uses centuries-old instrumentation to give depth and soul to folk rock" wrote Esquire.

Spoiler Alert: This story contains spoilers for Season 6 of The Walking Dead.
It was easy to assume going into Sunday's mid-season Walking Dead premiere that we'd be in for epic levels of gore and character slaughter. What was less evident was how much hope would come out of the dire situation in which Rick's crew and the Alexandrians found themselves.
You'll recall from November's midseason finale that Alexandria was overrun by zombies. Deanna was dead. We had Rick leading a small group through the walker horde like a zombie-guts-covered Pied Piper in a risky bid to reach the armoury. Morgan had knocked out Carol in a misguided attempt to save the captive Wolf, who had then knocked out Morgan and kidnapped Denise. Maggie was trapped on a rickety wooden platform and Glenn, with the reluctant help of Enid, was trying to figure out how to save her. And Daryl, Abraham and Sasha — as we saw in a special post-finale prologue — had been stopped and threatened by members of Negan's Saviours group.
The odds seemed good we'd lose at least one core character on Sunday.
Well, we didn't. If the plot devices that kept them alive sometimes seemed a little too convenient, that's the way the show rolls.
The big take-away Sunday was that Alexandria survived the zombie invasion because everybody — Rick's group and the Alexandrians — fought them off together. Rick finally dropped the us vs. them attitude and seems determined to carry out Deanna's vision for the community.
"I was wrong. I thought that after living behind these walls for so long maybe they couldn't learn," he tells Carl at episode's end. "But today I saw what they could do, what we could do if we work together."
But before we all join hands and sing "Kumbaya," remember that they still have to rebuild those walls. And we know there are worse things than zombies out there, namely nasty villain Negan and the Saviours.
Let's revisit the major plot points of Sunday's premiere.
Daryl, Abraham and Sasha beat the Saviours . . . for now: I would have bet that either Abraham (Michael Cudlitz) or Sasha (Sonequa Martin-Green) or both were going to buy it, especially after AMC released the first four minutes of the episode showing Negan's unnamed disciple holding guns on them because Abraham broke his no-questions rule by asking who Negan was. The fellow had politely, even humorously, relieved Abraham, Sasha and Daryl (Norman Reedus) of their guns, and sent Daryl and a henchman to the back of the fuel truck they were driving to find more spoils. Lucky thing that. Just as Mr. Bite, Chew, Swallow, Repeat (his prescription for the correct way to eat sh--) was about to blast holes in Sasha and Abraham, he and his fellow motorcycle hoodlums went up in very impressive flames. Daryl had somehow overpowered and killed the other Saviour, and saved the day with the RPG that Abraham found.
Jessie and Sam are zombie chow: Producers managed to surprise us a little by not revisiting the moment from the finale where Sam (Major Dodson) started squawking, "Mom, mom, mom" just as he, mom Jessie, brother Ron, Rick, Carl, Michonne and Father Gabriel started tiptoeing through the zombies. They made it through the herd to a clearing where Rick (Andrew Lincoln) told the others they should forget the armoury and head to the quarry to get their vehicles. And he entrusted baby Judith to Gabriel (Seth Gilliam) for safekeeping back at the church. But with Carol's warning about how he'd get eaten alive by "monsters" echoing in his head, Sam froze. No one could budge him. Suddenly two walkers took chunks out of his neck. Jessie (Alexandra Breckenridge) couldn't stop screaming so the walkers got her too, with a horrified Rick playing a selection of happy Jessie moments in his head, which was kind of silly.
Carl finally loses that eye: Lots of people thought this would happen in the midseason finale when Ron (Austin Abrams) tried to shoot Carl (Chandler Riggs). Ron finally got him, we just had to wait for it. After Rick freed Carl from the dying Jessie's grip by cutting off her hand, they were stopped in their tracks by Ron, who'd picked up a fallen gun and pointed it at Carl. Why Ron was so bent on revenge on Carl is beyond me; Enid didn't even seem like she was that into him. Maybe it was Rick he wanted to get even with for killing his dad. Whatever, bad time for an adolescent meltdown. Michonne (Danai Gurira) saved Carl's life by impaling Ron on her sword, but the gun still went off, taking out Carl's right eye.
Denise escapes the Wolf: Mr. Bad Teeth (Benedict Samuel) and Denise cooled their heels behind a brick wall until Ron's gunshot drew some walkers away, leaving an opening to run for a lookout post that would take them over the wall. The Wolf made it easily, but Denise got stopped by a walker and the Wolf turned back to save her, getting bit in the arm in the process. Denise led him to the infirmary where she planned to amputate and save his life, but Carol (Melissa McBride) — still pissed at Morgan (Lennie James) for saving the Wolf and at herself for not killing Morgan — shot the Wolf in the back.
Glenn and Maggie are finally reunited: I can't decide if these two are the luckiest or unluckiest spouses going. We spent a big chunk of the first part of the season guessing whether Glenn was dead and then he made it back to Alexandria alive just in time to find his pregnant wife imperiled. He and Enid (Katelyn Nacon) hunted for weapons inside a church and material to make a rope to get Maggie down from the platform. But Glenn still had time to impart a life lesson to Enid. What did Glenn mean when he said if you run you lose people, even after they're gone, Enid wanted to know. "People you love . . . they're still part of you. You stop being you, that last bit of them that's still around inside who you are, it's gone," Glenn said. So Enid was finally able to acknowledge her dead parents. Hallmark moment over, back to saving Maggie (Lauren Cohan). Glenn drew the walkers off by firing shots while Enid climbed up to the platform to get Maggie. But there were too many walkers and Glenn was out of bullets. Just as it seemed Glenn was going to be torn apart before Maggie's eyes, a burst of automatic rifle fire cut down a swath of zombies. Sasha, Abraham and Daryl were home.
Alexandria is saved: Rick, Carl and Michonne made it back to the infirmary where Denise began treating Carl's gunshot wound. And then, improbably, Rick decided to become a one-man zombie wrecking crew with nothing but an axe. Michonne, Aaron, Spencer and Heath ran out to help him. And then more Alexandrians joined in. And then Tara, Morgan, Carol, Rosita and even lily-livered Eugene. Even Father Gabriel became a zombie killer, handing over Judith to a parishioner and saying that God had answered their prayers: "God will save Alexandria because God has given us the courage to save it ourselves." The coup de grace was delivered by Daryl, who pumped fuel from the truck into the lake and set it on fire with the RPG, creating one big zombie barbecue and giving the hand-to-hand slayers the chance to get ahead of the herd. Based on the number of zombie corpses in the main street the next day I would hate like hell to be part of the cleanup crew.
The episode ended with Rick's speech to Carl and Carl squeezing Rick's hand.
The chances that everybody gets to sit around and catch their breath next week are nil. The promo showed Rick and Daryl running around with guns drawn confronting some human threat, since you don't yell, "Back up now!" at a zombie, and Spencer apparently goes on another suicide mission.
It airs at 9 p.m. on AMC.

: Study Refutes Notion That Obese Fare Better Against Chronic Ills
Posted November 2, 2015
By Dennis Thompson
HealthDay Reporter
THURSDAY, Oct. 22, 2015 (HealthDay News) -- Scientific debate continues to simmer over the so-called "obesity paradox" -- the apparent ability of obese or overweight people to better withstand chronic illnesses, such as diabetes or heart disease, and outlive thinner people with those same maladies.
But the obesity paradox is built on a foundation of shaky research, a new study contends. Earlier studies failed to account for two important factors that negate the supposedly protective effects of obesity: weight history and smoking, the researchers said.
People who are seriously ill tend to lose weight as they near death, the study authors explained. And that fact influences the data enough to create the false perception of an obesity paradox, argued lead author Samuel Preston, a professor of sociology at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.
Previous studies also have failed to account for smoking, which is incredibly unhealthy but also tends to ramp up a person's metabolism and keep them slim, Preston added. Smokers are less likely to be obese, and those who are obese are less likely to smoke, the study authors said.
"When we adjust for those biases, we reverse the obesity paradox in people with cardiovascular disease," he concluded. "The obesity paradox exists, but the cause of it is not the benefit of being overweight. The principal causes of the paradox are these two biases."
For the study, researchers examined data from more than 30,000 people participating in the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between 1988 and 2011. The study focused on the nearly 3,400 who had heart disease.
Most studies that have looked at the possibility of an obesity paradox only included a person's weight when they are surveyed, Preston said.
For example, a 300-pound man might have dropped a third of his weight within the last month due to illness, but the study would count him as always weighing 200 pounds.
This time, the research team opted to include weight history. That way, they could include the health risks of long-term obesity in their analysis, even if someone had recently lost weight, Preston explained.
Adding weight history allowed them to identify a control group of people who suffered from heart disease but maintained a normal weight their whole lives. These people tended to live longer than people who were overweight or obese for most of their lives, essentially causing the obesity paradox to disappear, the researchers said.
The same thing happened when researchers factored in smoking. The risk of death during the study period was about 50 percent higher in people who were overweight or obese, compared with normal-weight adults, when researchers only looked at those who'd never smoked.
The study authors hope their findings could improve disease treatment because some clinicians may use the obesity paradox in patient care decisions.
"There's every reason to imagine that clinicians are at least confused," Preston said, "and in some cases, are believing that being overweight or obese is a good thing among people with cardiovascular disease, diabetes and other conditions for which a paradox has been demonstrated."
Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum, director of Women's Heart Health at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, said these results show that the obesity paradox is "probably just a statistical mistake."
"What this really demonstrates is that statistics can be an interesting thing," Steinbaum said. "If you don't analyze the data in an appropriate way, you may come to an incorrect conclusion."
However, it may be too soon to completely discount the obesity paradox, said Dr. Robert Eckel, a professor and chair in atherosclerosis at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Aurora.
"This raises an important issue, in terms of further analysis of this controversy," Eckel said of the new study.
But Eckel added that while the study focused on people with heart disease, it appears to count deaths from any cause rather than deaths caused specifically by heart problems. That could undermine the findings, he suggested.
"It would be of interest to know if the people with cardiovascular disease were more likely to die of cardiovascular disease than any other cause," he said.
The study was published online recently in the journal Obesity.

Right now my arms are full.
Full of pudgy cheeks, dimpled fingers, hair needing brushed, blankies, and sippy cups. Full of lap sitters, bedtime snugglers, and slow-to-wake-uppers.
It's a funny thing, motherhood.
Every mother begins her journey with empty arms.
Once that precious baby (then the next, and the next) fills up our arms, our entire role as mother is to work ourselves out of a job. The goal of raising a happy, healthy, productive grown up results in the very thing a mother dreads: empty arms.
Sadly, some of us never realize the potential, joy, and craziness that accompanies the full arms of motherhood. Some of us have empty arms and grieving hearts, yet are mothers none the less. Arms, hearts and wombs ache at life lost, or given up, too soon.
Some have empty arms yet hearts full of memories; years spent loving and learning and growing. And now, whether across town or across the world our babies are living, working, walking, loving and filling arms of their own.
And some have empty arms that tremble still from having held so precious a thing as your own child only to have it ripped away. Illness. Tragedy. Mystery.
And though motherhood ultimately ends with empty arms the journey itself is marked along the way by moments of emptiness. Glimpses of the independence that will all too soon leave us standing awkwardly not knowing where to put our hands.
The empty arms of the first step.
The empty arms of the big boy bed.
The empty arms of the first day of school.
The first dance.
First kiss.
First set of car keys.
And so, while exhausting and trying and terrifying I will take a breath today. And tomorrow. And tuck these days away deep in the recesses of my heart. Into the place no one can touch, or rob, or sully and I will enjoy. And laugh. And ponder. And rejoice.
While these arms are still full holding hands. Hearts. Blankies. Books. Because I know all to soon they will be empty. One way or another, whether tomorrow or twenty years from now, that day will come far before I'm ready, or willing.
But on that day, though my arms be empty,may my heart be full.
I'm linking up with Your Thriving Family, The Miss Elaine-ous Life, The Better Mom, Time Warp Wife, Growing Home, Women Living Well, Raising Homemakers, Denise in Bloom, Inentional Me
Jen, this is beautiful! You have such a way with words!
Beautiful! Lovely reminder. Happy Mother's Day to you!!!
This was incredibly beautiful, and so touching.
I enjoyed this very much, thank you. Rebecca @ Natural Mothers Network ( Seasonal Celebration Sunday) x
I was so touched by this I had to send it to my mother to share! I have a mother who has a daughter (me) 1500 miles away in Kansas and a son who is just 4 living at home, so it was a good fit for her as well. It made me tear up, so I just had to share! Thank you for your heart, and Happy Mother's Day.
This is so true! Such a bitter-sweet role we have as mama's. I too, tuck away precious moments to be forever treasured and pondered. We will hold them tight and love them hard and feel honored when they are grown into amazing adults…though I do hope it comes slowly:-)
Happy mothers day friend.
Oh my goodness, such beautiful thoughts and words! 🙂 I had to tweet before I even commented! 😉 You are an amazing writer Jennifer. xo
Beautifully put. I often think about how sad I'll be when my children are too big to sit on my lap. And my giant 7 year old is already entering that territory…
I'm the mom with empty arms and a miles and miles away from all three of my children. One child is in SC at boot camp. Another is expecting his first child next month in TN. And my last born is in missionary boarding school in Kenya. (We love in Tanzania.) This morning I was looking at pictures of the baby shower and just cried that I can't be there. Just cried that my son is experiencing a first and I'm not there for it. It was a rough Mother's Day this year with my empty nest. Ladies, I sure wish I would have taken more time to hug, and laugh, and play. I homeschooled my kids for most of their schooling years. I think being with them all day, every day gave me a false sense of "forever." I knew in my head that they would leave all too soon, but my heart didn't get the message! Now I yearn for the times when one or the other would sit at the end of my bed and have long conversations. I miss them all dearly!
It's a slow process this emptying as the years drift along and I think its exactly the way He intends it to be. Because the more days that pass the easier it gets to let go. Mine are teens, only two years till one flys away and though I will miss her I will be smiling and putting my hand to the next thing He has. Lovely thoughts.
Thank you for this.
So beautifully written. Funny how you ended referencing empty arms, but full heart. I was thinking about that as I read.
I must admit, I dread those days when my arms will be empty. Reading Tammy's comment above breaks my heart. : ( I hope my children never move far away. For now, they are still all home. And while they are, I am not forgetting to treasure every day with them.
Thanks ladies for your sweet words. It was an especially hard day when I wrote my comment. As I said, Mother's Day was really hard, but I was so blessed by my son in boot camp remembering to write me an email and have it set to deliver on Mother's Day. Then I got to talk to my other son on Facebook and he said to me, "Mom, I couldn't have asked for a better woman to raise me. I know it is cliche, but you are the best Mommy in the world!" To that I replied, "I'm so thankful that time erases mistakes and leaves memories." I can regret not reading to them more; playing one more game of Uno; playing Play-do instead of cleaning, etc. The most important of all these things is LOVE. My kids KNOW I love them. They choose to focus on the good in this Mom rather than the mistakes. I'm must have done something right! =)

awesome earrings from F21!
what went down:
Not my best day. Sometimes I wish I wasn't so controlling. I just need that night to go perfect and I need to be thinking of what everyone else wants to do, instead of my 'perfect night.' So today I am for real going to try to do my best at changing what I had planned to incorporate my bests. For real, what a learning experience! You never get what you want when you annoy people about it.
Love B


text: Ok well I just changed my picguard and to do so i have to move the picups a little bit to fit. while they were out i tried to re-sheild the control cavity and i used some "exhaust tape" its basically aluminum tape all over the cavity. anyway now when i plug in my bass i get nothing but a crazy loud hum and i cant even hear the strings when played over the hum. any idea's? possible problems i have thought of the new shielding? pickup placement? (can they be backwards or upside down or somthing?) maybe a loose wire? oh and its on a cheap pbass copy that i am just playing with for learning how to work on my own basses. thanks again.

Spinouts, SigAlerts and slick roads can only mean one thing in Orange County-we've received the first major rain storm of the season! We typically get our first rain in Southern California in November, on average, receiving little to no rain from April to October. However, after months of dirt and oil accumulation on the roads and so when it does rain, our roads become very dangerous for motorists and often contribute to serious personal injury accidents.
California Highway Patrol (CHP) estimates that car accidents typically double or triple during the rainy season in here in Southern California. The main reason is that people don't alter their driving behaviors and keep driving as fast as they would normally drive. Slowing down and keeping more than the normal one car length for every ten miles and hour saves lives and keeps you safe. Here are also some tips to be aware of.
Skidding and Hydroplaning in rainy conditions are often the result of driving on wet roads. Skidding can be prevented by slowing down, especially on curves on transition roads and overpasses. These surfaces are often built at curving angles and may cause slipping and skidding issues for automobiles.
Besides driving more slowly, motorist must also be aware of driving through puddles too quickly. Yes, it's always fun to watch the big spray of water coming from the car, but this can lead to water getting into the engine compartment and causing it to stall. If you do drive through an unexpected puddle, check that your brakes are working properly by tapping them gently a few times after you exit.
Lastly studies have shown that most motorist change their wiper blades every two to three years. Your wipers should be changed twice a year due to our extreme weather conditions. There's nothing worse than driving in the rain and you turn on the wipers only to get see it shred in front of your eyes. Make sure tires are in good condition and are at the recommended inflation level. Driving with bald tires on a slippery surface is a major factor in skidding. Tires should have at least 1/32nd of an inch tread depth at any two adjacent grooves, the minimum allowable by law. Driving on tires that are over-inflated or under-inflated is also extremely dangerous on wet pavement.

Link to actual rules (instead of repost since the rules are subject to change)
Weird - when I click on the link it comes up that "You have reached this web page by typing 'example.com', 'example.net', or 'example.org' into your web browser.," but if you copy-n-paste the link it works just fine.
If the magic system is going to be using the existing spells, then this system is too much risk versus the reward. Specifically a backlash occurring EVERY TIME a spell is unsuccessfully cast; the spells as written are nowhere near powerful enough for this kind of risk. From a story perspective, basically the magic is either does exactly what it's supposed to do or catastrophe happens for the caster. With this kind of system in play, I can't see anyone desiring the pursuit of magic.
Since anyone starting off casting is going to become shaken 75% of the time they cast a spell (due to: Initial Spellcasting skill limit: d4), the opportunity for anyone to get past this point seems unrealistic. Instead of being shaken on a failed cast, make it so that a 1 on the Trait roll results in backlash and the "snake eyes" results in the fatigue condition. I feel this would allow for those times when the spell fizzles just because it was miscast, which would happen, instead of "well, I've tried 5 times to detect magic on this, but I just keep getting tired, so I'm not going to try anymore." I think magic should have it's chance to be useful without such nasty side-effects that would prevent it from having the opportunity to be useful.
Also keep in mind that IN ADDITION to this system, we are also using Power Points, which by itself is enough of a balancing mechanic for the spells as written; unless I missed a blurb that says we're NOT using Power Points. If we are using Power Points, are we basing Power Points the same as the core book has them?
You would post something in between my starting post AND the post that was the purpose of this thread. Don't you have work to do? :P
BTW, the link is fixed.
We will not be using Power Points for this game - I am going for a drain style system, no PP limiter. I guess I didn't spell that out in there.
I came to this ruleset because while I find Hellfrost's method interesting, I want a system for the Ersa game both a) not as devastating as Siphoning when you fail, but also b) a more common occurrence than Siphoning. You make a good point though, the combo of Spellcasting roll failure = Shaken, plus increased TN, plus the limited Spellcasting die to start indeed make this system crippling to the prospective caster. Hmmmm. What about if the spellcasting roll fails and the number on your arcane skill die is equal to or less than the power point cost of the power, then you become Shaken?
Keep in mind, you still get a Wild Die to SpellCasting, which throws off that 75% number (no I'm not about to try the math on that), but changing the rule would keep it a bit more common than only 1's.
I forgot about the Wild Die mitigating the failure somewhat. Still, I think that this system should be focused more on the "wild" aspect as opposed to the "failure" aspect. I think the more interesting aspect of the system is the Flare result. With that in mind I propose this:
Backlash: On a failed cast and roll of 1 of the Trait die, caster becomes Shaken. On "snake eyes," caster becomes Fatigued (basically what I proposed previously).
Flare: In addition to rolling doubles; on a failed casting roll, if the arcane skill die is less than the PP of the spell roll d20 and consult the Flare table. If the Flare table indicates a successful cast, the spell does not actually cast but the caster suffers from any other effects anyway.
Basically I feel becoming Shaken/Fatigued is uninteresting whereas having random stuff happen is much more interesting, and keeping more in line with "wild magic." I'd much rather increase the opportunities for Flare than to regularly screw a caster over. How does this sound?
Good work! I like it. The Flare is the more interesting aspect of the system. The Shaken and Fatigue states are there for a backlash mechanic. Methinks I got a bit carried away with it. I really like this, as failing increases your chances of a flare (what happens if you roll doubles AND your Spellcasting die is under the PP of the spell? 2 rolls on the Flare table?) even more.
With these changes I would remove the ability to attempt casting while Shaken, as it was intended to reduce the badness of being Shaken, but violates a very basic rule and is weird for it and deserves to die (It was also stolen along with the rest of the drain system).
Also, if anyone has any Flare suggestions beyond what I have here, I could actually use at least one since I discovered that there is at least one duplicate after adding the Flare Inversion result. They should be similar to what I already have, in that they are fairly spell agnostic, and generally cannot be seen as always beneficial or detrimental to the caster. This is tallied in the E column of the Flare table (+ is always beneficial to the caster, - is always detrimental to the caster, ~ could be either, dependent on the power being used and who is targeted). The effect in the I column of the Flare table is when the Flare Inversion takes effect.
So we have this revised version.
what happens if you roll doubles AND your Spellcasting die is under the PP of the spell? 2 rolls on the Flare table?
My opinion is to just leave it. I think the system as it stands is flavorful enough.
I think the options for Flare results should be more balanced around +/-'s. I'm of the opinion that the entertainment of this is where not necessarily good or bad stuff happens, just crazy unintended stuff. As such, I think there should be a more even distribution of good and bad; currently there are 5 negative and 3 positive events, with the rest being neutral. I will think on specifics and post suggestions to that affect later.
Lastly, maintained powers should be a flat -1 to spellcasting trait per spell, as opposed to -PP of the spells being maintained. The hard part is the actual casting of the spell. Once the magic is formed, it should be only a minor nuisance to maintain it. Also, -1's are significant penalties in this system; I feel that they'll add up quickly enough on there own.
Yeah, I have been thinking on it while waiting to see what you had to say and my thought is that it flares, period. No sense in adding more double jeopardy. I am also going to drop the recover from Shaken at TN 3+PP as it seems unnecessary to change the rules for recovering from Shaken. I had already dropped the rule allowing casting while shaken (at a -2) which also seemed like an unnecessary change. This was to balance out the more difficult recovery from Shaken, and so I figured I'd clean up a bit.
So, if the "entertainment of this is where not necessarily good or bad stuff happens, just crazy unintended stuff," then how does "a more even distribution of good and bad" make this better? More indeterminate results would intensify that flavor, rather than imposing more of a hard good/bad result dichotomy. The key is that the "neutral" results are not neutral, they are indeterminate, depending on what power is being used and who the target is to say if it is good or bad (let's say from the caster's viewpoint). I'd prefer to narrow the hard negative results down and get more indeterminate things in those other 2 slots.
Maintained powers should be -1 per spell maintained. I originally had negative PP and then changed it to -1, but somehow it snuck back in there… Edits made to original rules post to reflect these changes

The first stages of work aimed at protecting Coventry Cathedral from a repeat of a fire that could have spelled disaster could soon get under way.
Alterations to the undercroft - scene of a blaze a year ago today - are expected to be sanctioned in the next month.
National supervisory body the Cathedrals Fabric Commission has already indicated that there should not be a problem with the plans.
The initial work includes a new corridor and the relocation of the song school.
Once it has been completed, a series of safety improvements drawn up in the wake of the fire can begin to be implemented.
They include a fully automated fire alarm, a sprinkler system for the undercroft, emergency lighting and smoke seals for the oak fire doors.
Following last year's fire, the cathedral launched a #250,000 appeal to fund the safety measures. So far, almost #150,000 has been raised.
Spokeswoman Veronica Meredith said: "Until we have got permission to do that work there is no point spending the money. Hopefully, it will start happening in the next month.
"One of the hold-ups was getting the plans drawn up and making sure that what we were going to do would fulfil what was needed.
"It looks like a year has gone by and nothing has happened but a lot has been happening. We have got to get it right, that's the important thing."
Anyone who wants to donate to the fire appeal should phone 02476 267 021.

A Room Redone
These beautiful sofas were such fun to work with. I saved the original fabric, a heavy tweedy wool plaid that reminds me of something Sherlock Holmes would wear, or sit on, or admire. Have no idea what I will do with it, but just couldn't dispose of it... something will come to me. Why anyone would drape (or rather bundle) such graceful frames with wool tweed is beyond me. I think my client's choice of plain vanilla chenille offsets the beauty of these sofas... which contrast with the gold chair and ottoman.

Arabian Nights
Anyone familiar with the Bombay Company? I love their signature flair.... every piece looks like it could be found on a set from Out of Africa. These pieces remind me so much of their style. This is a truly unique set- found by my friend Jessica on good old CL. The couch and chair are from the 20's and the chinoiserie style satin brocade was in fantastic condition, except for the seats, where it was actually disintegrating. The foam inside had turned to sawdust- quite the mess when I took them apart! Our challenge was to find a fabric that would complement the backs and arms... and a challenge it proved to be. She decided to go with velvet, but finding the right color- we had no idea how hard it would be to find the right shade! It was a good thing we had a swatch with us while we scoured fabric stores... but finally we hit upon the perfect thing- this rich green. For $8/yd it was a steal. I think they turned out so beautifully- now if only she can talk her husband into fanning her with palm leaves while she lies outstretched.....

My Happy Place
The bathroom is finished! Well, almost... close enough, right? Just a few finishing touches left. Our wonderful contractor friend Randy is building two highly imaginative sconces to frame the mirror, as the darling antique insulator lights I found on etsy do not provide enough illumination to be sure there isn't lunch between our teeth. Also, I am working on a decorative shower curtain, some towel hooks and wall art. All in good time. For now, a little dissection of the process. Our aforementioned friend Randy had the good sense and foresight to advise us to completely change the layout of the bathroom- see before pics in my last post. This meant digging down to the plumbing and moving electrical, and as anyone who has done this can testify- three times the time and money we were hoping to spend, BUT the end result is certainly nothing to complain about!
The tub I found for $175 on CL and the outside was already that fantastic weathered blue- I didn't do a thing to that. Randy and I did however sand and refinish the inside of the tub with a handy little kit from Home Depot ($50). Randy is a can do person and did not allow the cold outside to stop us from doing this project. He brought over space heaters and set the tub up on paint buckets and we did it in the garage. Randy also created a concrete countertop for the sink which we set atop an antique dresser.
With a lot of help from other friends, the rest came together. You have to love friends who work for bottles of scotch, pizza and promises!
I absolutely love how the stripes turned out- don't you? I had no idea how challenging those were until we were helplessly watching our uber-talented painter friend mark them all off and paint for 4 hours.
Isn't it obvious why it is now my happy place? I actually did say this out loud in the middle of a workout session when the trainer told us in the middle of a SUPER hard set to go to our happy place. I asked him "Is it ok if I go to the bathroom?"

Work, Interrupted
As is very obvious from the content of this blog... we are not super diyselfers... I live in awe of those who seem unafraid to try anything and have success at everything they attempt. Kind of the Midas touch of remodeling. This is not our experience. We have carved out little niches where we feel we can excel but when it comes to ripping out rooms and starting from scratch the fear factor has always just been too big. (As well as the wallet factor...somehow big mistakes mean big money!) So we have always relied on super talented friends who are willing to trade or help or whatever... and we have learned to live with things that sorely need to be changed out... but we are waiting no more! We have bit the bullet and gutted our main bathroom. When I say main, I realize how sad that sounds. Just look at it... long skinny hideous little room. The avocado paint on the wall was a desperate attempt to draw the eye away from the generations of dirt encrusted on the corners of the vanity, faucet and grout from previous owners that no amount of cleaning products, razor blades or elbow grease could fully remove. This bathroom has been the last hold-out, the Alamo, the Masada of our home improvement life. I am so excited to see it finished!!!

Distinction Between Preparation And Attempt
What is the Difference between Preparation and Attempt?
- Upvote
- 496 Views
- 1 Answer
Team Legistify
There is a very fine line between preparation and attempt. While, IPC does not define either of them, it is very important to distinguish between them because attempt is a crime but preparation is not. Both, Preparation and Attempt are physical manifestations of the criminal intention. But attempt goes a lot father than preparation towards the actual happening of crime. While in Preparation, there is a possibility that the person may abandon his plan, but attempt leaves no room for that. For example, keeping a pistol in pocket and looking for the enemy to kill is a preparation because one can abandon the plan anytime, but taking out the piston and pulling the trigger is attempt because it leaves no room for turning back.

About BOCES
In 1948, the New York State legislature created Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) to provide shared educational programs and services to school districts within the state. Today there are 37 BOCES that are partnering with nearly all of the state's school districts to help meet students' evolving educational needs through cost-effective and relevant programs.
BOCES membership is not currently available to the "Big Five" city school districts: New York City, Buffalo, Rochester, Yonkers, and Syracuse.
The BOCES network is capable of including municipalities and divisions of the state with school districts in the provision of cost-effective services.
District Superintendents
A District Superintendent is the chief executive officer of an individual BOCES. The District Superintendent is responsible for both the BOCES and its component districts. A District Superintendent also serves as the commissioner of education's representative to the region.
District Superintendents can provide:
Liaison Services – The District Superintendent facilitates communications between the New York State Education Department and local districts, as well as other public and private agencies.
Superintendent Searches – Upon request, the District Superintendent may assist component school districts in their selection process of a new school superintendent. The District Superintendent at the BOCES may serve as a consultant for recruitment, screening and evaluation of candidates.
Consultant Services – Drawing from various resources, the District Superintendent is available to consult with school districts on a variety of educational topics including:
- Board-administration relationships
- New York State Board of Regents Standards
- State education department commissioner's regulation interpretations and clarifications
- Management and planning
- School boundaries
- Reorganization and mergers
View District Superintendent contact list.
Operating procedures related to new programs
Under Education Law section 1950, a BOCES may provide any educational service that is requested by two or more component districts and approved by the commissioner of education according to need and practicality in a regional context.
The BOCES then notifies component districts of the approved services, asking for a firm commitment to participate by May 1 of each year. The BOCES and the component districts then enter into formal contracts. Contracts between BOCES and component districts, when approved by the commissioner, are effective for one year. After which they may be renewed, changed or cancelled. Districts may also authorize multi-year service requests from BOCES.
Learn more about BOCES criteria guidelines at the New York State Department of Education website.
BOCES by the Numbers
Educator for all ages and abilities
- 15,659 adult students improved their listening, speaking and literacy skills through English as a second language courses taught by BOCES teachers.
- 1,240 students worked side-by-side with industry professionals in honors-level career courses through BOCES New Visions programs.
- 16,751 students' individual needs were supported in special education classrooms operated by BOCES.

- 4,827 businesses were on advisory councils and consultant committees for BOCES CTE programs.
- 2,187 partnerships between BOCES and colleges and universities.
Facilitator of collaboration and efficiency
- 340 school districts currently participate in a BOCES-initiated health benefits consortium.
- $3.5 million was the total savings to school districts participating in BOCES energy cooperatives when compared to retail pricing in one year.
- 174 school districts shared central business office staff or functions via BOCES.

The 2015 Regal Roller Stakes nominations have been released and consistent sprinter Fast 'N' Rocking is set to return to the races in the Listed event that will be held at Caulfield on Saturday.
Fast 'N' Rocking has not been seen at the races since he finished fifth behind Charlie Boy in the Group 3 BRC Sprint (1350m) at Doomben on May 9, but he showed that he was ready for a return to racing with a strong jump out effort at Flemington on Friday.
The Fastnet Rock gelding took out the Group 3 Kevin Heffernan Stakes (1300m) at Sandown at the end of his 2015 Spring Racing Carnival campaign and he performed consistently without winning during the autumn.
Fast 'N' Rocking returned to the races in the Listed Abell Stakes (1200m) at Moonee Valley on February 6 and he finished third behind It Is Written before he hit the line strongly to finish third in the Group 1 Oakleigh Plate (1100m) at Caulfield on February 28.
He finished a credible fourth in the Group 1 The Galaxy (1100m) at Rosehill Gardens on March 21 and he was sixth in the Group 1 TJ Smith Stakes (1200m) at Royal Randwick on April 6 before he dropped back in class for the Group 3 Hall Mark Stakes (1200m) at the same venue on April 18 and the BRC Sprint.
The only other horse with a handicap rating higher than 100 that has been included in the 2015 Regal Roller Stakes nominations is talented mare Griante, who finished third in a barrier trial at Cranbourne this morning.
Griante won the Group 3 Northwood Plume Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield during the 2014 Spring Racing Carnival, but she stamped herself as a contender at the highest level of racing in the autumn.
The daughter of Good Journey started her preparation with a credible fourth in the Group 3 Bellmaine Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield on February 14 and she won the Group 3 Wenona Girl Quality (1200m) at Royal Randwick on March 7 before she finished third behind Lucky Hussler in the Group 1 William Reid Stakes (1200m) at Moonee Valley on March 27 and was denied by Avoid Lightning in the Group 2 Sapphire Stakes (1200m) at Royal Randwick on April 11.
Other notable horses in the 2015 Regal Roller Stakes nominations include Godolphin sprinter Barbed, Victoria Derby runner-up Bondeiger, Henry Dywer-trained Parwan Prince, Aurie's Star Handicap runner-up Play Master, the lightly-raced Pressing and Australian Guineas placegetter Stratum Star.

For many who find themselves awash in this year's Canada 150 promotions, Canada's 1967 Centennial looms large. This is no more evident than in Jacqueline Hoàng Nguyễn's Space Fiction & the Archive, which is currently on display at the MacKenzie Art Gallery. It is one of a number of current exhibitions that seek to connect the present moment to the giddy optimism of fifty years ago. In personal scrapbooks and the records of Library and Archives Canada, Hoàng Nguyễn discovered a perfect metaphor in the form of a small Northern Alberta town's award-winning Centennial project to build a UFO landing pad – "a symbolic gesture of welcoming whoever from wherever."
Jacqueline Hoàng Nguyễn, Greetings from St. Paul, 2012, diptych inkjet prints on archival paper
Literally dwarfed by the remnants of history installed in the gallery, one can examine each fibre in the newsprint in Hoàng Nguyễn's glossy photos of yellowed news clippings, collector coins, and other ephemera. A large aerial photograph of St. Paul, Alberta is laid out on the floor like a welcome mat. The UFO landing pad could be any carport in this tidy grid. An outsized photographic slide leans against a wall. A makeshift sign illuminates the passage leading to a looped projection. The artist has spliced together Technicolour propaganda films and dour news footage to chart a path that links the town's alien landing pad project with Canada's new immigration policy.
The wacky optimism and radical inclusivity that were the ensign of the age are tarnished when viewed at a distance of half a century. The video includes an interview with a woman who recounts her involvement in a play put on by students at the local residential school to celebrate the opening of the UFO landing pad. Many ethnicities were portrayed in the play, she notes, but depictions of Indigenous people were omitted, which is surprising as St. Paul was founded as a French/Métis farming community.

22 Paper Bag Pants To Make You Forget About Jeans
Wearing regular pants and jeans all the time can become boring. Ladies sometimes have limited style options when it comes to work attire. The office style is usually based on classic pants or skirts. So adding something new to your look can be a great change. Even if we are talking about casual everyday wear, there is one piece of clothing that we always underrate. Paper bag pants became a huge trend during summer 2017. And most women weren't thrilled about this new pant style. That is mostly because they don't have the right styling hacks on how to make them look trendy. If you don't have the right ideas on how to style something, just take a look at our galleries and you'll be the trendiest person around.
Paper bag pants belong both on the streets and in the office.When you first think about these pants, you imagine an old-fashioned pair that looks outdated. But this year the paper bags got a complete make-over. They are still on the trends list, which is an indication that we'll be wearing them in 2018.
The best way to wear this garment is to match it with tight, body-hugging tops. Everything from a monochrome blouse, crop top, to a chic shirt will do the job. That way you will accent your silhouette and add a sexy touch to your look. Since there are many different styles of paper bag pants, make sure to choose the one that flatters your body type. The most popular design this year was the baggy, high-rise one, tightly belted on the waist. They create an illusion of a tiny waist and complement every single body type. At first, you might feel a bit skeptic about them, but you will end up falling in love once you try them on.
During the last few months, bloggers showed many impactful ways on how to wear paper bag pants. Most of them decided to break the main rule of pairing them with a tight top. Instead, these fashionable ladies matched their pants with oversized sweatshirts and frilled shirts. When it comes to colors and patterns, the choices are very diverse.
Check out these chic paper bag pants outfits and steal some tips on how to wear them. Once you find out how fashionable they can look, you'll rock them all the time.

HOW on
Earth did life begin? Or, more precisely, how did life on Earth
begin? Theories abound, but all require the existence of basic building
blocks such as amino acids to construct the earliest forms of life.
One of the most exciting possible sources of these raw materials
may have been the comets and asteroids that rained heavily upon
Earth during its first billion years. Consequently, while life itself
likely arose on Earth, the building blocks of life may well have
had an extraterrestrial origin. If this cosmic origin of lifes
building blocks is correct, the hitchhiking organic molecules would
have had to withstand the extreme pressures and temperatures of
a fiery crash onto Earths surface.
answers to these questions about the origins of life are intimately
connected to questions related to what would happen to the organic
molecules of missile-borne chemical weapons if the attacking missile
were intercepted by another missile. Like so many seemingly disparate
subjects in science, these two are connected at a fundamental level,
in this case by questions concerning the fate of organic liquids
subjected to strong shock compression.
Past investigators have depended
on computer modeling to determine whether the molecules could survive
or be destroyed. But the limited success of these computational
and theoretical approaches has underscored the long-standing need
for experimental answers. Only recently have laboratory experiments
been able to explore the chemistry of the extreme shock regimes
associated with the delivery of amino acids to early Earth by comets
or the fate of missile-borne chemical weapon agents following missile
At Livermore, a team of scientists
led by physicistgeochemist Jennifer Blank is conducting a
series of shock experiments to explore the viability of extraterrestrial
delivery and to determine what happens to a chemical weapons
payload when intercepted by another missile. Blank says, These
experiments are the closest we can come in the laboratory to investigating
the role these primordial ice balls may have played in bringing
the building blocks of life to our planet or of testing the effects
of missile interdiction on an incoming chemical warheads payload.
The Livermore Connection
Blank and her team
are using Livermores 6.2-meter-long, two-stage, light-gas
gun to conduct their shock experiments on organic liquids. They
are focusing initially on cometary impacts. For decades, Livermore
has used its gas guns to perform shock experiments on solid materials.
Working with liquids in shock and recovery experiments is much more
difficult than working with solids and has not been done before.
Our high-pressure-shock organic chemistry experiments are
defining a new area of scientific exploration, Blank notes.
The teams experiments
generate impact velocities approaching 2 kilometers per second,
yield temperatures of 500 to 800°C, and produce a maximum impact
pressure of 40 gigapascals (about 400,000 times atmospheric pressure).
At Mach 6 speed, the gas guns impactor smashes into a small
metal capsule filled with mixtures of amino acids in water, mimicking
the supersonic collision of a comet with the rocky surface of Earth.
Right from the beginning,
we knew that something had happened, says Blank. The
solution that went into the capsule was clear, and what came out
was golden yellow. Through subsequent chemical analysis, the
team discovered that the initial amino acids in the mixture had
linked together to form peptides, from which proteins can be formed.
Cometary Matters
Life as we know it requires three essential ingredients:
water, organic matter, and energy. An icy comet carrying organic
material that crashes into Earth could potentially supply all of
these ingredients in a single, tidy package.
An obvious question remains:
Are there amino acids in comets to begin with? Recent experiments
conducted at the National Aeronautics and Space Administrations
Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California, and at a number
of European research centers found that dehydrated amino acids are
easy to form in laboratory simulations of interstellar clouds. Scientists
do not yet know whether comets incorporate these molecules, but
spectroscopic studies of comets suggest that 20 percent of their
tails are organic material. Additionally, analysis reveals that
meteorites landing on Earth are replete with a variety of complex
organic compounds, including more than 70 different amino acids.
What has remained a mystery
is the manner in which cometary organic building blocks could survive
their journey to the early Earths surface.
The figure above shows a
model of a comet smashing obliquely into a rocky Earth. As the collision
occurs, the energy of the impact is distributed throughout the comet,
splashing jets of material in all directions. A backward splash
will have the lowest velocity relative to Earth, so this slower-moving
portion would have the greatest chance of surviving as an intact
puddle. The temperatures and pressures of these backward jets are
also those most readily achievable in laboratory experiments.
The high temperatures created
when a comet collides with Earth would certainly cause the breakdown
of organic compounds trapped in the collision. However, in the fraction
of the second of a strong shock impact, the extreme high pressures
can impede or even prevent molecules from breaking down. A predictive
theory of the organic chemistry under these extreme conditions does
not exist, so Blank and her team are exploring these uncharted regimes
in the laboratory.
Shock and Recovery
The proxy for a comet in
these experiments is a few drops of water and organic material contained
in a 2.5-centimeter-diameter stainless-steel capsule. The teams
biggest challenge has been to design a capsule capable of keeping
its liquid cargo intact during the high-pressure shock loading and
Another challenge was to
extract the material from the container after it has been smashed
by a supersonic projectile. After the still warm capsule is removed
from the gas-gun experiment tank, it is machined down on one side
to within about 15 micrometers of the liquid inside. The capsule
is then pierced with a special drill bit, and the contents are removed
with a syringe.
are characterized using liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry
(LCMS). A portion of the sample is pushed through a chromatographic
column, and as the liquid travels though the column, different compounds
separate out. Mass spectrometry is then used to determine the mass
of each component.
In the few dozen gas-gun
experiments performed to date, from 40 to 95 percent of the initial
amino acids survived. The fraction of survival depends on the impact
pressure, the projectile thickness, the starting concentration of
amino acids, and the structure of the amino acids.
An exciting and unanticipated
discovery was the nature of the reaction products created by the
impact. The dominant products are all possible pairs of the original
amino acids joined together by a peptide bond, which implies that
some of the energy of the impact has been harnessed to create larger
organic molecules. Peptide chains composed of more than two amino
acids are also produced in the experiments, though to a lesser degree.
To provide a comparison for
the experimental results, Livermore physicist Nick Winter is simulating
the pressure dependence of peptide formation on shock loading. Using
quantum chemistry methods, Winter is developing computational models
that will allow calculation of the pressure dependence of reaction

supersonic impactor hitting the stationary test capsule. The

the QuickTime movie.
a Chemical Weapon
allied series of experiments was performed to determine if missile-borne
chemical warfare agents might survive the impact from an intercepting
missile. During a missile intercept, portions of the liquid payload
of chemical agent would be subjected to strong shock waves. Currently,
no information is available about the chemical stability of these
compounds in such a scenario. Specifically, nothing is known of
the extent to which the payload might be altered as a consequence
of the intercept. A substantial portion of the lethal load could
be altered chemically to nontoxic compounds by the shock, reducing
the threat posed by the weapon, or the shock could increase the
toxicity of the chemicals. A precise knowledge of the chemistry
that would occur in an intercept is critical to the design of interception
strategies and technologies.
Livermores gas-gun
experiments with simulants of various chemical warfare agents are
the first of their kind. The goal is to provide laboratory evidence
of whether chemical agents might survive a missile intercept. Additionally,
unique reaction products from such experiments, detectable by remote
sensing methods, would constitute a simple means of determining
successful intercepts.
To extract a solution after
a gas-gun experiment involving chemical weapon simulants, analytical
chemists Armando Alcaraz and Pete Nunes of the Forensic Science
Center at Livermore use solid-phase microextraction (SPME) methods.
Using gas chromatographymass spectrometry to characterize
the solution before and after an experiment, the chemists have begun
to obtain results.
Again, we knew that
something had definitely happened, says Blank. The solution
that went in was pale yellow, and what came out looked like used
motor oil.
Challenges of Scale
how real are these laboratory simulations? Closer than one
might expect, says Blank. The impact conditions are
right on target for simulating defense scenarios. In contrast, the
impact temperature of a real ice ball hitting rock would be about
15 to 30 percent higher than the 500 to 800°C attained in our
current suite of gas-gun experiments. One might think that
the higher temperatures of an actual impact would destroy more of
the organic material. However, the temperatures achieved in the
laboratory experiments are already much higher than the thermal
stability limits of amino acids under ordinary atmospheric pressure.
Hence the high survival percentages of amino acids show clearly
that the destructive effects of high temperatures are buffered by
the accompanying high pressures in shock waves.
difference between laboratory shock experiments and an actual cometary
collision is the duration of the impact shocks. In the experiments,
materials are shocked for only a few microseconds, while a 1-kilometer-thick
ice ball hitting Earth would experience a shock wave lasting 1 second,
a time difference of six orders of magnitude. The experiments assume
that the comet is a single dense ball of ice. In reality, comets
are known to be aggregates of much smaller objects, so this apparent
discrepancy in time scales is much less severe.
ultimate in experimental understanding will be to perform real-time
spectroscopic analysis of the liquids at 100-nanosecond intervals
during the shock process itself. Such measurements are a technical
challenge but would provide a more complete understanding of the
physical and chemical evolution of the different reaction pathways
from their onset. Obtaining such measurements is a goal that Blank
and her team hope to pursue in the future by relying on techniques
developed by Laboratory physicist Neil Holmes.
short time-scale measurements are also essential to more accurate
computer models of the chemistry of high-pressure, high-temperature
shock regimes. The quantity of data going into such simulations
is so enormous that an accurate representation can cover only a
brief period of time, typically a few nanoseconds. Thus, even the
supercomputers at Livermore need another generation or two of development
before these complex chemical and physical interactions over longer
time periods can be simulated. Until then and until the accompanying
computer codes can be developed, calibrated, and validated, scientists
knowledge and understanding depend on experiments such as those
being done by Blank and her team.
the End Is the Beginning
Livermore research on shocked organic liquids has been much in the
news lately. After all, who doesnt
want to know how it all began on Earth? And in a postSeptember
11 world, a chemical weapon threat is an uncomfortably real possibility
that must be countered effectively.
is quick to make clear that the Livermore work depends on the talents
of her colleagues in engineering, analytical chemistry, biochemistry,
and computer modeling of hydrodynamics and quantum chemistry. Together,
this team is bringing a new understanding of how it all could have
started. Simultaneously, this research is providing critical information
that could help to counter the threat from missile-launched chemical
weapons of mass destruction.

Comfort at hand for those in despair over actor's decision to take a break from film career...
A helpline has been set up for distressed fans of Ryan Gosling after he announced his decision to take a break from acting.
Gosling, who has critically acclaimed films such as Drive, Blue Valentine and The Ides Of March under his belt, told the Huffington Post that he wanted to focus on directing earlier this week.
With Gosling currently working on his directorial debut How To Catch A Monster, he said: "I've been doing [acting] too much. I've lost perspective on what I'm doing. I think it's good for me to take a break and reassess why I'm doing it and how I'm doing it.
"I think this is probably a good way to learn about that," he added. "I need a break from myself as much as I imagine the audience does. There's a lot of pressure to be the lead of a film. I have done it. It's not my favourite way to work."
Blinkbox has established 'The Gosline' to help fans deal with the news, with people able to ring the emergency number and listen to audio recordings of some of his most famous lines of dialogue. Included among the selections are a speech from the 2004 romantic comedy The Notebook, in which Gosling says: "So it's not gonna be easy. It's gonna be really hard. We're gonna have to work at this every day, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, for ever, you and me, every day."
A spokesperson for Blinkbox said: "We couldn't bear the thought of the distress caused by Ryan's announcement. We hope that this goes some way to relieving the pain and hurt caused by his selfish decision to take a break."
Doctor Who star Matt Smith is set take on the lead role in Gosling's How To Catch A Monster, with Mad Men actress Christina Hendricks and Eva Mendes also set to feature. The film will be released at some point in 2014, with an official release date yet to be confirmed.

Bulletin from Bill Belichick! Hot news about Rob Gronkowski! �He�s a good player,� Belichick said after Gronk caught seven passes for 137 yards and two touchdowns in the Patriots� 59-24 rout over the Colts.
FOXBORO � Bulletin from Bill Belichick!
Hot news about Rob Gronkowski!
�He�s a good player,� Belichick said after Gronk caught seven passes for 137 yards and two touchdowns in the Patriots� 59-24 rout of the Colts.
Talk about indulging in shameless flattery.
But, sometimes, Coach Hoodie just can�t help himself.
Emotional guy that he is, he gets caught up in the exhilaration of the moment and gets carried away.
�Rob does a great job for us � blocking, receiving, third down, red area,� Belichick added, all but gushing with enthusiasm about Gronk�s performance.
Saying Gronk is �good� in the red area is like saying Tom Brady�s wife, supermodel Gisele Bundchen, is fairly good-looking.
Gronkowski is all but unstoppable in the red area.
Nope, fact.
His two TD receptions Sunday give him 10 in as many games. Which, amazingly, is below the pace he set last season, when he had 17 in 16 games � plus a rushing touchdown.
Those 17 TD catches last year set an NFL record for tight ends.
Speaking of league records, Gronk now has caught at least 10 TD passes � he had 10 as a rookie in 2010 � for three straight seasons, which no tight end in the league ever had done before.
That�s why it was concerning when Gronkowski left the field late in the game with what some news outlets are reporting is a broken forearm.
The Patriots, as is their custom, had nothing to say Sunday night about a potential injury to their star tight end.
After the game, however, the Colts had plenty to say about Gronk.
�He has such a big body (6-foot-6 and 265 chiseled pounds) and is such a fluid receiver,� said Colts safety Tom Zbikowski. �It�s not like he�s going to burn you with his speed, but he finds a way to get open every time. And they also have a pretty good quarterback who can put it where he needs to put it.�
Put this next item in the category of inexplicable:
Considering how dangerous Gronkowski is in the red zone, why don�t teams put more defenders on him in attempt to make somebody else � anybody else � beat them?
�They try,� Brady said. �It�s definitely something they try. It�s just hard because, when you�re a tight end, you�re in the inside part of the field and you can run basically anywhere you want.
�It�s not like you�re an outside receiver, where your route has to complement other people�s routes. As a tight end, you can go to the right, left, deep, short. You can really do whatever you want.
�And the more guys you put on him, the less there are on Wes [Welker], Brandon [Lloyd], Julian [Edelman]. The less you have rushing. Do you blitz? Do you not blitz? That�s why it�s team football. Team football � that�s what it�s about.�
It helps when you have guys like Gronk on your team.
�We got some good matchups,� said Brady, �so I try to take advantage of those where we could.�
Nobody, it seems, has anybody who can match up with Gronkowski.
�He�s a tough matchup for everybody, not just us,� Colts coach Bruce Arians said. �You�ve got your work cut out for you if it�s your job covering him. And Tom (Brady) knows where to put the ball when you�ve got good coverage.
�I mean, Antoine Bethea (the Colts� free safety) had great coverage on him one time and it was a perfect throw and a good catch. There�s nothing else you can do.�

Last night Experienced been watching ESPN two different analysts picked Francisco Rodriguez when your Cy Young to date in 2008. This wrong for a lot of reasons. K-Rod's all across the globe numbers aren't as good as Mariano Rivera, Joe Nathan or Jonathan Papelbon that is not even my issue here. My issue is that the closer position may be the most useless position in professional hockey.
Drink gorgeous? What exactly does that cause? It means soda pop, sports graphics drinks and fruit drinks that are packed with sugars. Children get a large amount of their calories from beverages, when they will be comfortable getting them from super berry and other healthy solid foods. Take a look in the orange juice label. You'll be shocked realize that may be mainly carbohydrates. I know what you are planning. You yourself grew up drinking overall and you weren't a fat child, most desirable? The difference is that now helping sizes and portions are almost double whatever used to be, and they are consumed with less difficulty.
A involving the time the closer comes in during the ninth inning with a three run walk. All he end up being do is get three outs before three sprints. This is not great job! Most of the time closers don't save games; they just end them. Saving the game was what the pitcher did a few innings ago when there have been runners on and one out and another team was threatening to score.
Now you bring that focused attitude to they. For myself, when i worked out with the 49ers, I was always sprinting my plays eighty meters. Every time I touched the ball, even this was merely a five-yard pass by. Jerry Rice started doing the same thing after he saw me doing thought. Now it's a connected with life while using the 49ers.
This shouldn't come as being a surprise. Without NBA Liv. er, Elite as competition in the basketball sim market, NBA 2K11 produced some beneficial sales count. It shouldn't be a surprise either that 2K11 is their best-selling basketball title ever (and price tag hasn't even dropped to 30 dollars). Not only was Nike jordan on the cover, which played for the emotions and memories of any 90s basketball fan, it will was merely a really darn good game. So good that I named it my 2010 Game of the season. But their best-selling game ever associated with sport? What they have paid MJ was clearly worth who's.
Over the previous few years, more and more retail companies are selling some online. Copywriters ready for this great transformation stand to seek a lucrative niche for their way with words-at all in this niche. From writing descriptions for businesses posting to Amazon.com to major catalogers, your online copywriting opportunities can be limitless.
There are extensive other varieties of paintball adventure. Some include capture the flag, even though some include protecting a certain person or thing. Basically, there a lot of different epidermis games how they are played can be very many types of. Some games can last just several minutes while others can work for a few hours or even days. Usually speedball type games last only a few minutes. Capture the flag can last anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, reckoning on the level of people and ways they engage in. The ones that last days are normally scenario paintball games.
A woman does not have to hide her strengths just to make men feel such as man. The key is to show him that despite how strong she is, an attractive still appreciates his gestures of care and completely love.
