Il Faraone, Stephan El Shaarawy stepped up to ensure Milan got their first home points of the Serie A campaign with a dazzling brace of individual goals.
Il Faraone on the double to give Milan breathing room
So the curse of the Giuseppe Meazza is broken, for now, and was left to 19-year-old El Shaarawy to seize the moment to enforce his will and creativity on the game with two beautiful goals.
Allegri watched from the stands sitting out his one match sideline ban, but must have gone home very satisfied after seeing his side scrap against a Cagliari side, who were still in the game until Conti was sent off in the 66th minute having spurned at least three chances to draw level with Rossonieri.
Stephan El Shaarawy celebrates hi goal against Cagliari
Young as he is El Shaarawy at times seems the most composed and the brightest spark on the pitch. Cometh the hour, cometh the man, having equalised against Udinese last weekend he was alive on the left side of attack last night with pace and invention. Deployed in an attacking trident alongside Emanuelson and Pazzini the Egyptian wizzkid timed his runs to perfection giving his opposite number plenty to do.
It was on the fourteenth minute that El Shaarawy played a quick one-two with Montolivio that put him in front of goal where he made no mistake to give his side the lead. The second came on the 81st minute when Cagliari, having worked hard to keep pace with Milan shot themselves in the foot by going a man down and El Shaarawy was played in by Ambrosini who came on for Montolivio for a superb strike and deserved second goal.
It's a much needed filip for the Rossonieri and all at Milanello will breath a sigh of relief. But more than the points it will be the improvement in performance that will have pleased most. An altogether more coherent display by the young Milan team and a clean sheet to boot. Three points at this early stage changes the complexion of the league now Massimiliano Allegri will look to turn relief into momentum with all eyes on the derby game with Inter on October 7th, who also managed to break their bad run of form with a 2-0 victory over Chievo.

True Blood's Season 6.5 Trailer Is Sexy And Violent Members of the True Blood cast popped up at Comic-Con on Saturday. While the sessions was mostly devoted to a Q&A regarding Season 6 and how things have been going, HBO did release one of the networks In the coming weeks teaser trailers. The whole thing is a minute and 43 seconds of constant action, which should be no surprise, considering how True Blood has played out over the last couple of weeks.

True Blood Season 6, Episode 5 Preview: F--- The Pain Away True Blood's not exactly known for subtlety. In fact, the series seems to pride itself in being outlandish and over the top, regularly frolicking in darker territory, with its blood-soaked drama, chock full of sex, violence and fangs. The title for this Sunday night's episode doesn't even try to mask that. What's ahead for "Fuck the Pain Away"? I'll give you one guess.

True Blood Season 6, Episode 4 Preview: At Last If Andy Bellefleur's kids weren't growing so fast, I'd suggest that HBO develop some kind of spinoff-sitcom for that band of giggling fairy girls and their ever-exasperated father. Alas, by the time they got it to pilot, the Bellefleur fairies, who go by numbers as Andy hasn't actually named them beyond that, would probably be finishing up college.

Why True Blood Season 6 Needs To Cut Out Some Of Its Clutter True Blood has always offered viewers many reasons to tune in, from a quirky ensemble cast to a little bit of camp and exciting supernatural plotlines. The shows main issue throughout the years, however, has always been one of consistency. While the ensemble cast capably highlights a lot of differences between different supernatural communities in Louisiana, there are usually one or two plots that trump the others in any given episode.

True Blood Season 6, Episode 3 - You're No Good Trailer After five seasons of True Blood, the rules are changing. And that seems particularly fitting, considering the vampires destroyed the Tru Blood factories at the end of last season. As Pam noted during last night's episode, "The Sun," it was the Tru Blood that kept things balanced among the humans and the vampires.

True Blood Season 6 Promos Tease The Sun And The Weeks Ahead At this point, it seems evident that there really isn't a shred of "normality" left in Bon Temps on True Blood. Last night's Season 6 premiere picked up immediately after the mayhem of Season 5's finale, which wasn't entirely unexpected. Given such a suspenseful cliffhanger, we were left waiting to see how Sookie, Eric and the others made it out of that place and what crazy blood-soaked newly reborn Vampire Bill would do with his new set of fangs.

True Blood Gets A New Trailer A Week Ahead Of Its Season 6 Premiere The latest trailer for True Blood Season 6 packs a lot into its 46 seconds. Of course, with so many characters, it's not always easy to pick apart what's happening to who and how it all ties together. From the previews we've seen so far, including the latest trailer above, all signs point toward a major throw down between humans and vampires. And it seems likely that certain characters who fall somewhere in between those two things (Sookie, Alcide, etc) will fall somewhere between those two sides in this approaching battle.

True Blood Will Go Interactive For Season 6 Premiere In a press release on Wednesday, HBO announced that Season 6 of True Blood would kick off far more spectacularly than usual, with a Social TV pre-show, as well as a big social media event for all Truebies.

True Blood Season 6 Trailer Teases The Beginning Of The End It's the beginning of the end! Or so teases the latest trailer for Season 6 of True Blood. Bill seems to be in another dimension of evil, so maybe it's the beginning of the end for him. Is there any chance that he'll ever be old-Bill again? Or is power-crazed mega-vampire Bill all that's left? That's just one of many things to ponder.

True Blood Season 6 Teaser Delivers A Message From Governor Burrell Much of what we've seen from the upcoming Season 6 of True Blood indicates that things have never been more divided between the vampire community and the humans.

Needs a bit of cleaning and updating but overall it was a good value. Wasn't happy with the huge trailer park behind the hotel. The hotel was difficult... to get to and did not have a clearly marked entrance. The room could have been cleaner. The sink still had leftover shave residue from the last guest. The bathroom also needed a fresh coat of paint or at least the dirt washed off of the wall. de Mike de Kansas le 26/11/2013

September 13, 2009 God and Edward M. KennedyBy Miguel A. GuanipaAt the risk of offending a grief stricken media, intent on canonizing the recently departed Senator Edward M. Kennedy (a necessary step for gaining entrance into the pantheon of liberal establishment idols), I direct attention to excerpts from a letter, which offer a glimpse into the Senator's vexed state of mind during his final days. Judging from the letter's content, one could surmise that it was not of primary concern to "Ted" Kennedy that an airport, a library, or even a piece of legislation be named after him. His final plea for absolution included the all important, preemptive clause: "I know that I have been an imperfect human being, but with the help of my faith I have tried to right my path." This poignant missive suggests that what Kennedy cared about the most - at least in his last days - was that he would receive an honest appraisal before God of his tireless efforts as a public servant. And what better person for him to entrust with a litany of the many worthy and penitential deeds he performed in this role than the presumed mediator between the late Senator and the Almighty, the Bishop of Rome.
Sadly, it is unlikely that Kennedy understood the full implications of such an approach. An offering of one's good deeds by proxy, as settlement before the Almighty, represents a rather bold appeal to His justice, which no human being could countenance, rather than his mercy, which we are all sorely in perennial need of. In light of the fact that we have all led a less than exemplary life in God's sight, and that there is not a great deal of merit to be found in the partaking of one's share in the universal bane of imperfection, there is infinitely far more advantage in recognizing that only one person is indeed perfect and sinless, and thus eminently qualified to stand between us perfectly wretched beings, and the ensuing, fully justified wrath of a most holy God: His son. Moreover, when we assume that our own performance will reap God's clemency, we summarily reject the substitutionary death of his own Son on our behalf; God's one and only means that can sufficiently satisfy His justice and give way to His mercy. A parade of our own achievements constitutes a supreme insult to God's offer of grace. For it is "by grace, through faith we have been saved, not by works" to paraphrase the words of the Apostle Paul, a close friend of the very first Pope. Tragically, Kennedy's cathartic testimony revealed a gross omission of this central tenet of the faith to which he publicly avowed a sparse yet earnest fidelity. Tragic because, as far as the letter's excerpts indicate, it was with this impoverished understanding -- endemic in today's religious circles -- that he was ushered into the presence of the one to whom we all have to someday give account. If Kennedy really believed that his faith alone could provide what he needed for entrance into the heavenly realms, then why burden the Pontiff with an inventory of all of the good works he performed during his unusually extended tenure as a public servant? Despite a Papal seal of approval of Kennedy's vain attempts to pull himself by his own bootstraps, so to speak, it is solely through the acceptance of the only one who did lead a perfect life in full accord and fulfillment of God's law, and then died on our behalf, that the canceling of a justified verdict of death against us is effected. Kennedy's principal misunderstanding in this regard, despite his claim that he "never failed to believe and respect the fundamental teachings of [his] faith", lies in the notion that good works are of supreme importance to the Almighty, and a good deposit for a future entrance into heaven. This misunderstanding was compounded by the fact that Kennedy also believed he could repair ("right my path") his innate sinful nature by the strength of his own will. The hope is that upon meeting with his maker, he did not seek to salvage any reward from either misconception. Only God knows where Ted Kennedy will spend eternity. But to entreat -- nay demand -- that God judge us by our own merit is in effect to decline his more than sufficient provision which grants complete absolution for our sins. If Kennedy's first instinct when asking the Pope to intercede for him was to catalog his personal accomplishments, it's safe to say he was ill prepared to face the final judge of all. God is not impressed by our service, nor can it earn us entrance into heaven; not according to the scriptures that Kennedy claimed to believe in, and with which, as a Catholic, he should have been better acquainted. One simply may not ask God to weigh our good works against our indiscretions. But we are more than qualified to fall in our faces before him and receive the mercy he has already promised, if we are willing to accept it.

Cove's conveyor Idler Management Program at QME
Cove Engineering will display a recently developed conveyor Idler Management Program on Stand 1113 during the 2012 Queensland Mining and Engineering (QME) Exhibition at the Mackay Showground from July 24-26.
The program, designed to reduce idler failures and unplanned conveyor stoppages and which is customised for each site, includes:
• Thermographic inspections of all conveyors using a Flir infrared camera
• Installation and management of software which records information from idler defect tags
• Testing to identify idlers with high shell wear.
Cove says it developed the program after it discovered that many of the conveyor performance problems experienced by clients were directly related to idler failures and typically resulted in unplanned belt stoppages of one to two hours.
According to Cove's Queensland sales manager, Craig Hodgson, failed idlers had also caused belt damage at some sites and represented a significant fire risk if bearings overheated.
"Apart from the regular deputies' inspections, nobody was focussing on inspecting the conveyor idlers and very little was being done to record the idler failure modes and locations," Hodgson said.
The program has been used at Anglo Coal's Moranbah North and Grasstree mines as well as Vale's Carborough Downs Mine.
"Since it was initiated, all sites have had a dramatic decrease in idler failures and unplanned conveyor stoppages," Hodgson said.
Having detailed information available for the idler failure mode and locations also allowed for analysis and trending to be done for each conveyor, he said.
"This helps to identify potential problem areas and represents a more effective means of idler risk management."
Additionally, the use of an infrared camera meant areas of heating, normally invisible to the naked eye, could be easily located, Hodgson said.

Severnside awarded IIP Gold!
Published by Matt Critchley for Severnside Housing in Housing and also in Communities
Severnside celebrates IIP Gold
Severnside Housing is celebrating after recently being awarded Investor in People Gold accreditation, placing them among the top two per cent of IIP accredited organisations in the country.
The award follows a comprehensive two-week Investor in People assessment in January this year, when around 45 of Severnside's 240 members of staff were selected randomly to be interviewed. Throughout the interviews, Severnside performance and working practises were assessed against Investor in People's national standard, which sets out a level of good practice for the training and development of people in order to achieve business goals.
Following the assessment, Severnside was awarded the Investor in People Gold standard in recognition of its commitment to the training and development of its staff. Just two per cent of all Investor in People accredited organisations achieve this Gold standard.
The assessors report highlighted several areas of strength where Severnside demonstrated good practice including equality and diversity, and community cohesion and social responsibility.
Carol Dudson, IIP assessor, said: "Severnside Housing has continued to improve performance and this has been recognised both internally and externally by its customers and a number of external accreditations and awards."
She continued: "The quality of the people at every level and in every role is the key differentiator for a small local housing and social enterprise focussed organisation. The knowledge, skill and exemplary attitudes and behaviours of the staff at Severnside ensure excellence in all areas of the business. The leadership team have created a culture that encourages continuous learning and promotes the development of skills and knowledge an every level."
Sue Barker, Head of HR at Severnside Housing, said: "Receiving the Investor in People Gold accreditation is a real feather in Severnside's cap and builds on our initial IIP accreditation in January 2009. To be recognised within the top two per cent of all IIP accredited organisations in the country recognises the value we put upon our employees and the training and development we offer so that they can build their skills and experience. An organisation can only be as good as its employees, so by appreciating them, and encouraging and investing in our employees, we can ensure that we are delivering the best services possible to our customers."
Investors in People will now carry out annual visits and assessments of Severnside, to ensure that high standards of performance continue and that Severnside continues to meet the criteria of an Investor in People Gold standard organisation.
Notes to editors
Severnside was first accredited with Investor in People status in January 2009.
IIP Gold represents the achievement of world-class best practice. It shows that the company operates at the very highest levels of people management practice, demonstrating a commitment to the learning and development of employees.
Severnside Housing manages 5,320 homes in and around Shrewsbury following the transfer of stock from Shrewsbury and Atcham Borough Council on October 1, 2001.
A not for profit local housing company, Severnside Housing is committed to making a positive difference by providing affordable housing and services to support the customers who live in its homes.

Project Pericles promotes involvement on
campus and abroad, makes an impact Steve Early - Reporter This winter Elon faculty, staff and students will start work on Project Pericles, a new program aimed at increasing civic engagement. Elon is one of 10 charter schools in the program, started by philanthropist Eugene Lang. This year the program has a $100,000 budget, as Lang matched Elon's contribution of $50,000. Earlier this year, each of the 10 schools composed a draft outlining their program. Elon's plan was written by director and sociology professor Tom Arcaro, associate provost Nancy Midgette and history professor Jim Bissett. At the center of the school's program is a stepladder general-studies program — essentially an extension of the freshman-core class, The Global Experience. The program will have similarly themed classes at the sophomore, junior and senior levels with an increasing focus on taking action on what's discussed in the classroom. "Students come out of Global wanting to do something about the people they learned about who are in trouble," Arcaro said. "Now when they get angry, excited and concerned they can channel their energy in an engaged and socially responsible way." With the new global classes starting next year, service sabbaticals and course enhancement grants are two more immediate ways Project Pericles will make a difference. All faculty and staff members are eligible to take a one-month service sabbatical to work with a community organization. The faculty or staff member may also have four student interns work with them on their service project. "If students see someone in a position of authority who they respect doing service, they'll think, 'Maybe I should too,'" Arcaro said. Currently, four staff members have received service sabbaticals. They are University Relations staff member Christopher Eyl, PC Software support specialist David Morton, Associate Registrar Susan Patton and Environmental Services staff member Leroy White. The first four sabbaticals reflect the diversity afforded by Project Pericles. Eyl will bike across the country to raise money for the Children's Advocacy Center of Crossroads Sexual Assault Response and Resource Center. Morton will manage an Internet project for the Alamance-Burlington school system. Patton will research the possibility of beginning an internship program at a local Christian ministry through area schools and White will expand his involvement as a teaching assistant in Excel Christian Academy's after-school program. All students may inquire about the intern spots by contacting Arcaro. Professors can apply for course enhancement grants as well. About 50 professors are involved one way or another with course enhancement grants. This winter's Australia study abroad course is one of the enhanced classes. Students will be working with Aboriginal peoples to build a playground. "Instead of watching or listening to Aborigines, students will be working hand-in-hand with them," Arcaro said. "You learn so much about people from working together." Professor Melinda Rice's spring semester Introduction to Education honors class takes action locally. Students will research differences in funding between wealthy districts and those less affluent. "There is a lot of concern about this right now because students in wealthier districts receive more advantages," Rice said. "It's a very timely thing. Hope County just brought a lawsuit against the state because of lack of funds." After extensive background research students will submit proposals to the department of public instruction and state legislature on how to remedy the problem. Also taking advantage of the grant is professor Mike Sanford's Advanced Ceramics class, also in the spring. "We were involved with a fundraiser with Crossroads [Sexual Assault Response and Resource Center] and wanted to build on that relationship," Sanford said. The advanced students, former students, interested beginning ceramic students and Sanford will make ceramic bowls for the center's "Make a Sundae - Make a Difference" fund-raiser. Patrons pay $15 to get into the ice cream social and get to keep the piece of pottery. As part of Sanford's proposal, students will also help Crossroads with product promotional material. "We want to heighten student awareness about the tragedies and the pain that rape causes for people," he said, adding, "We want people who experience this tragic event to know there are services available." Arcaro said Project Pericles is a natural extension of Elon's tradition of community service and experiential learning. "Project Pericles is exactly what Elon has always been doing and it will help do it better in the future. Midgette also recognized Elon's commitment to service. "Those who are fortunate enough to have more resources than most have a responsibility to their fellow man," she said. "I think the student body in general accepts this." |

About a month ago I got a call from my friend Pete over at Neptune D, he told me about his friend(Goes by the name"Yesca") that was visiting and how they planned to paint a mural on the drift car, asked if I was game to come shoot it…. well duh!
So first things first we had to re-paint his bumpers and get the car a little cleaned up for this ever so epic mural we were paying tribute to!
And to properly show you this car, Pete promised his friend that the first shot ever seen of this car would be with smoke coming off the tires….
The mural captures the car perfectly, the god of neptune is exactly what the shop car needs on it's door and it is something you really have to see in person with all the detail in it.
If you'd like to learn more about Neptune D be sure to visit the website!

But wait! I thought all the learned analysts had assured us that Muslims who left Islam were under no threat! Isn't that right, Dr. Bassiouni? Mr. Kruse? Ms. Heagney?
"Moroccan Islamists Use Facebook to Target Christians," from Compass Direct News, June 17:
RABAT, Morocco, June 17 (CDN) -- Moroccan Christians say Muslim extremists in the country are aiding and encouraging the government to pursue them by exposing and vilifying them on social networking site Facebook.Facebook user Gardes Maroc Maroc has posted 32 image collages featuring dozens of Christian converts, calling them "hyena evangelists" or "wolves in lamb's skins" who are trying to "shake the faith of Muslims." That terminology on the website, which is in Arabic, matches that of Morocco's anti-proselytizing law, which outlaws efforts to "shake the faith of Muslims."
The online images depict Christian converts and their families from across the country and include details about their roles and activities in churches, their personal addresses and anecdotal stories attempting to malign them.
"These are some pics of Moroccan convert hyenas," reads one image.
Since March, the Moroccan government has expelled more than 100 foreign Christians for alleged "proselytizing." Authorities failed to give Christians deportation orders or enough time to settle their affairs before they left.
Observers have called this a calculated effort to purge the historically moderate Muslim country, known for its progressive policies, of all Christian elements - both foreign and national.
Amid a national media campaign to vilify Christians in Morocco, more than 7,000 Muslim clerics signed a statement denouncing all Christian activities and calling foreign Christians' aid work "religious terrorism."
On the Facebook page, Gardes Maroc Maroc makes a particularly strident call to Moroccan authorities to investigate adoptive parents of children from the village of Ain Leuh, 50 miles south of Fez. The user claims that local Christians under orders of "foreign missionaries" were attempting to adopt the children so missionary efforts would not "go in vain."
On March 8, the Moroccan government expelled 26 Christian foreign staff members and parents working at Village of Hope in Ain Leuh.
Now efforts against national Christians have gained momentum. One image on the Facebook page challenged the Islamic Ministry of Religious Affairs and Endowments, saying, "Evangelist hyenas are deriding your Ministry." The page with the images claimed that Christians had rented out an apartment belonging to that government ministry.
An entire page was dedicated to a well-known Christian TV personality in the Middle East, Rashid Hmami, and his family. The user also inserted pictures of hyenas next to those of Christians, presumably to indicate their danger to the nation.
National Christians Threatened
Moroccan Christians told Compass that authorities had begun harassing them even before the forced deportations of foreigners, and that pressure from officials only intensified in March and April.
Since the deportations started in early March, it seems that authorities, extremists and society as a whole have colluded against them, local Christians said. Dozens of Christians have been called to police stations for interrogation. Many of them have been threatened and verbally abused.
"They mocked our faith," said one Moroccan Christian who requested anonymity. "They didn't talk nicely."
Authorities interrogated the convert for eight hours and followed him for three weeks in March and April, he said. During interrogation, he added, local police told him they were prepared to throw him in jail and kill him.
Another Moroccan Christian reported that a Muslim had taken him to court because of his Christian activities. Most Moroccan Christians that spoke to Compass said the attitudes of their Muslim relatives had shifted, and many have been kicked out of their homes or chosen to leave "to not create problems" for their families.
Moroccan converts meet in house churches. Some of them have stopped meeting until the pressure subsides....
Congressman Frank Wolf (R-Va.), co-chairman of the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission, said that the Moroccan government has deported nearly 50 U.S. citizens.
"In spite of this, the U.S. government has pledged $697.5 million to Morocco over the next five years through the Millennium Challenge Corporation," he said. Wolf is advocating that the United States withhold the nearly $697.5 million in aid that it has pledged to Morocco.
"It is inappropriate for American taxpayer money to go to a nation which disregards the rights of American citizens residing in Morocco and forcibly expels Americans without due process of law," he said....

Here comes the BOOM!

ours is not to wonder why just invert and multiply...
What the hell is going on here? First Clark re-signs, now Randle El, and talk of Larry Foote? Is this April Fool's Day?
Wow. I'm happy with the signing if they didn't overpay.
ARE is a multi-talented athlete and could help us a lot.
have to wonder what ARE can bring to the table at this point.

Both Arnaz Battle and Randel El played QB in college so maybe we won't need to carry a third QB next season.
This isn't quite the same Randle El that we had 5 years ago. He's lost a step and his quickness was his best asset. That said, I'm happy to have him back as the 4th or 5th receiver. I guess sweed is out.

Singer/Songwriter Evandass Addae Yeboah known to most by his stage name as E-van Styless was born on August 2nd in Kumasi the second capital of Ghana.
E-van has always had a passion for music. But it really started getting interested when his then step father brought home a wide collection of music home from the United States. A Young E-van was very inspired by the Late great Michael Jackson's music which was part of the collection. He started writing his on songs around the age of 11 and hasn't stopped since.
Eventually after junior high, E-van and his mother (she has always supported his musical dreams) moved to Chicago, IL in 2006 mainly because of a better education and also saw more opportunity for him due to his growing interest in music and his intention of pursuing a music career professionally.
His musical influences has expanded through out the years including, Michael Jackson, R. Kelly, Jahiem, Craig David, D'angelo, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Akon, Marvin Gaye, Trey Songz, John Legend, Ne-Yo etc. His goal is to become an iconic figure in the music industry and pop culture in general. Following in the foot steps of his musical idols.

All About Hatching Eggs, and What to do With Them! |
The hatch rates of shipped eggs are lower than of fresh, hand-delivered eggs, but you can hatch them successfully, and many, many people have! First off, a few notes about the nature of shipping eggs and hatching shipped eggs. Eggs are heavy, fragile, perishable, heat-sensitive, and shock-sensitive. We pack our eggs very well, but have no control over how they are handled after they are handed over to the shipping facility. We also have no control over the weather, or storage conditions while they are in transit. Having said that, we've shipped many, many shipments that were hatched successfully! Some breeders will tell you things they "know" about what happens to shipped eggs, or why a hatch is or isn't successful, but the truth is that often we'll never know. However, there are some theories that are worth considering. The first theory is that the yolk can get "stuck" in position from the egg not being rotated enough, causing the embryo to be locked in position, too. The theory is that as the egg is rotated, the yolk rotates within the egg, and is then the milieu it's exposed to is sort of refreshed - i.e., by rotating the yolk and putting the embryo in different parts of the white, it's never exposed to one location where the metabolites can build up and cause a stale or toxic environment for the embryo. This is the theory behind rotating the eggs during storage before incubation (to keep the yolks from getting stuck into one position) and during incubation (to keep the temperature within the egg uniform and to keep the embryo from getting stuck in a toxic pool of its own waste products). When the embryo rotates away from a "dirty" spot, the dirty spot can then diffuse the waste products out into the egg white over time, so that when the embryo is rotated back to or near that spot, it's now relatively less toxic. The second theory is that micro-tears can result from shipping, particularly if the eggs have been pressurized aboard an aircraft, but also if they have experienced shear-forces from the box being roughly handled, or the eggs being packed inadequately for shocks. Micro-tears in the air membrane of the egg (that membrane that is so darned hard to get off if your hard boiled egg is too fresh, the membrane just inside the eggshell). Micro-tears could theoretically allow contamination, but the greater risk is that the air/water balance of the incubating egg is disturbed - i.e. that the egg loses moisture too quickly through the micro-tears when it's supposed to happen very slowly through the molecular pores in that membrane. The third theory is that the jostling of eggs during shipment disorganizes the egg, sort of scrambles it. On a molecular level, the fertile egg is actually structurally organized, not just a random glob of white with a yolk plunked in the middle. There are distinct zones and molecular structures in place that guide embryonic development on a molecular level. The theory goes that a "scrambled" egg (not with the yolk broken, but just with too much shaking or shear force) has it's structure damaged or interrupted, such that the developing embryo loses its "blueprint" for development and at some point fails to progress. The disorganization may be by sheared structures in the egg, or by micro-bubbles or bubbles that have happened during handling. All is not lost! Most shipped eggs can hatch! When you get your hatching eggs, you can reduce the effects of the above by treating them as follows:

It's always great to have a cheering section. The new NCAA public service advertisements provide an informative, yet light-hearted, take on the NCAA's committed and unswerving support of student-athletes. Two new 30-second spots portray NCAA support as a full and noisy marching band and a hyperactive cheerleading squad, respectively.
But these squads are around for more than just athletic events – tailing individual student-athletes around campus, to graduation and even job interviews. It becomes clear that the metaphors aren't perfect, but the goal is that the audience better understands what motivates everything that the NCAA does to support student-athletes.
Debuting in March, the PSAs will be visible during the 2013 Division I Men's Basketball Championship on CBS and Turner Broadcasting networks, the Division I Women's Basketball Championship on ESPN and throughout the year during other televised NCAA championships.

The Hydro Series H70 CPU cooler is an evolution of the award-winning Hydro Series H50, with several significant upgrades that enable it to deliver even greater cooling performance. These upgrades include a double-thickness (50mm) radiator with higher heat-exchanging capacity and a pump/cold plate unit with increased efficiency. The H70 also features two 120mm speed-switchable cooling fans in a push-pull configuration to provide increased airflow at low noise levels.
Like the wildly popular H50, the Hydro Series H70 provides the benefits of water cooling in a sealed and pre-filled unit, with no maintenance required. The low profile cold plate is extremely space efficient, and is very low in mass compared to heat pipe based solutions, putting less stress on the system's motherboard. The H70 includes mounting hardware for most common AMD and Intel CPUs, and, unlike some competitive CPU coolers, includes all necessary fans for high performance operation.

In retrospect, it is clear that libertarians and Old Rightists, including myself, had made a great mistake in endorsing domestic red-baiting, a red-baiting that proved to be the major entering wedge for the complete transformation of the original right wing. We should have listened more carefully to Frank Chodorov, and to his splendidly libertarian stand on domestic redbaiting: "How to get rid of the communists in the government? Easy. Just abolish the jobs." It was the jobs and their functioning that was the important thing, not the quality of the people who happened to fill them.
— Murray N. Rothbard, Betrayal of the American Right, p.162

With how busy I have been covering NASCAR during this years Chase for the Cup I gotta admit I was starting to get bored with the repetition of covering several races. I haven't shot an NFL game in well over a month and really miss shooting it, however a weekend in Talladega was more than enough to help me realize why I love covering NASCAR so much. Continue reading to see exactly why I love restrictor plate racing!
.After 5 days of attempting to get over screwing up and missing the Carl Edwards crash in Talladega it was time to put it behind me as I made the trip up to Richmond, Virginia for a nice weekend of NASCAR on the 3/4 mile short track of Richmond International Raceway.
.Last week I was shooting a boring race in overcast weather in California, this weekend I found myself in sunny Las Vegas shooting NASCAR on the much more exciting Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Although anything would have been better than last weekend, Vegas would prove to be a great weekend with lots of cool photos.
.Just three months ago NASCAR closed out their 2008 season down in Miami. At that time I was close to burned out after a pretty rough schedule of races and was glad to see it end. As it always works, after a few weeks off, I was ready for it to come back. The 2009 season began this weekend up the Florida coast in Daytona Beach, where the stars and cars of NASCAR and the ARCA series wasted no time in destroying some cars.

20th-century international relations
The three main arenas of Cold War competition had always been divided Europe, strategic nuclear arms competition, and regional conflicts in the Third World. By the end of 1990 the superpowers had seemingly pacified the first arena, made substantial progress in the second, and at least stated their intention of disengaging in the third. Ever since the 1950s, when the U.S.S.R. first bid for allies and client states in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, the superpowers had wrestled for influence through programs of military and economic assistance, propaganda, and proxy wars in which they backed opposing states or factions. When Gorbachev came to power, the Soviets still possessed patron–client relationships with North Korea, Vietnam, Ethiopia, Angola, Cuba, Nicaragua, and Afghanistan and exercised considerable influence with Iraq, Syria, Yemen (Aden), and the frontline states confronting white-ruled South Africa. Moreover, the United States faced opposition to friendly regimes in the Philippines, El Salvador, and, of course, Israel. The Soviet Union's financial crisis increasingly limited its ability to underwrite client states, however, while its troubles in eastern Europe and at home afforded the United States the opportunity to resolve regional conflicts to its liking. ...

It's hard enough as it is to master one art. But when you master two, you find your way to iDiva's Hall of Fame. Celebrating International Women's Day, we salute multitasking celebrities with dual professions.
Ayesha Takia
Dual role: Actor and restaurateur
Starting out: As an actor, I was exposed to many opportunities from the beginning of my career. Acting is more a passion than a job, and I feel like many, if not all actors, have a curiosity about other things they could do with their life. I lucked out because the man I married happened to already be an established businessman (Farhan Azmi) and with his support, I am getting increasingly involved in the restaurant business. I know acting at the back of my hand, whereas business is something new that I'm learning now.
Challenges: Being in two very different professions, the set of challenges that come along with them are obviously different. With acting, the terrain and weather conditions are sometimes very challenging, but when you are fortunate to work with such talented people, these things don't matter. In the case of our restaurants, there is obviously lots of competition, but Farhan always says that we should do our best and not concentrate on what others are doing.
One vs. two: According to me, both fields I am pursuing are artistic. Acting obviously is entirely creative, but the restaurant business is also creatively satisfying. With our newly opened restaurant Chai Coffi, I have learnt everything on the job. From interiors to deciding the menu, it has been immensely satisfying. We are now working on opening a small 10-room boutique hotel in Goa. I am looking forward to it.
Double dealing: When you are doing two things as opposed to one, in my opinion time management gets the utmost importance. It also makes it much easier when you have fun doing what you do. I love to act and I find business fun as well. I feel extremely fortunate to be living in this era when women are encouraged to do so much more. Not only that, I think we are capable of doing a lot; managing a house, exploring a passion and working in a business are common in a multitasking woman's life.
Two sides of a coin: Acting and business are on such different pages that it is almost impossible to compare, except that I have an interest in both. Everybody has different facets to themselves and doing two different things only allows you to explore contrasting parts of yourself.
Monica Dogra
Dual role: Singer and actor
Starting out: Musical theatre is my first passion. I've been interested in acting, singing and dancing from an early age. As a child, I sang, studied ballet and acted in plays. So, for me, there was never a moment when I said, 'I am only a singer', even though now I have taken up acting. I feel like these areas of expertise are simply different branches of the same tree.
One vs. two: I'm not more passionate about one or the other, but I do see myself as having more control over the songs I perform with Shaa'ir + func. I have written the songs that I sing; they come straight from my heart. So, the processes feel very different. I've had a lot more experience with Shaa'ir + func than I've had acting in films. Dhobi Ghat was my first experience.
Double dealing: At the moment, I'm finding the challenge of doing many things very rewarding. The only real limitation is time management and self-discipline. The latter aspect is something I think I can master. Sometimes, it's just hard finding time to switch off because I'm always doing something or the other. And a lot of my writing comes from a space of reflection. So, finding that time to reflect is something I need to work on.
Challenges: The toughest challenge for any artist is self-discipline. The second is to continue to inspire for your own art. Writing the first 10 songs is always the easiest, as you've been waiting for 20 years to express yourself through your songs. But after that, writing becomes more difficult. I've written three albums, so I think I got over the first-album hitch. But I do find it a very important aspect of my life; to continue to search for inspiration.
Two sides of a coin: India is the land of the Natya Shastra—the idea of a total work of art. I see storytelling, singing and dancing, all as part of the same art form.
Nina Manuel
Dual role: Model and TV presenter
Starting out: My first core profession was modelling, but I never really moved from one profession to the other. I somehow managed to do both. It was very strenuous in the beginning as I would do a fashion show, which took up the entire day with fittings, rehearsals and the show. And after that, I would go shoot for my TV show. But, some days it was easy because I would have to do either or.
Challenges: Time is the toughest challenge. The irregular hours were criminal!
One vs. two: I like TV more. It opens your mind to a whole different world that you don't see when you are just a model. I was introduced to the world of art, met so many interesting people, and on my last show, I got paid to party! I am presently studying in New York, at the Fashion Institute of Technology for Fashion Merchandising Programme. I am also working on a couple of business plans, one of which involves producing a TV show and the other is fashion related. I wish I could do more, but I'd have to make another me!
Double dealing: Time management is the key. I would have time slots for everything if I had a full day. At times, I would feel 24 hours was not enough. Living with my parents really helped at that time because I didn't have to worry about domestic issues. People who manage a house along with everything else are truly commendable.
Two sides of a coin: I wouldn't say it's being two sides of the same coin. It is more like an evolution, especially when it is two things that you like the most. I don't like to get comfortable and hence was always curious to know what else is out there. If you want to grow as a person, you must explore. Even though I was juggling two jobs, now I think I could have done more with my time. I regret not having a learnt a foreign language or done a TV journalism course. But it's never too late!
Dual role: Actor and entrepreneur
Starting out: I started out as a model and VJ, and I loved every bit of it because I enjoy being in front of the camera. My movie Game is going to release soon. At the same time, I also equally love food and designing and came up with the idea of having my own cupcake store, Butterfly Cupcakes, along with confectioner Shaana Gwynne. I handle the administration and marketing for Butterfly and Shaana is an expert in the kitchen and comes up with interesting recipes and innovations for the shop.
One vs. two: Butterfly Cupcakes is my baby and my partner and I started it together and took it to where it is today. Acting on the other hand takes a lot of yourself and you have to be able to give it your 200%! Unless you're passionate about it, you cannot give it your all. So it is unfair to choose what I'm more passionate about. Both my jobs are equally important in my life.
Double dealing: My partner Shaana is an expert in the kitchen and she keeps coming up with different recipes for the shop. I designed the store and I manage marketing and PR which can be done on the move, like making a few important calls and sending out emails. Whereas acting requires a lot! The shoot timings, on-location schedules and being in sync with the character, etc. So I make sure that I don't mix the two. The fact that they're both so close to my heart helps me give my fullest to both.
Two sides of a coin: Yes, you do play two distinct roles at a time and do justice to both.
Dual role: Singer and writer
Starting out: I started my creative career as a singer and transitioned into becoming a dramatist. Then in 2006, while I was writing the lyrics for my song, I realised that I was interested in poetry. For me, singing was like a stimulus and I diversified into writing and drama to broaden my horizon as a creative person.
One vs. two: When I tend to do more than one thing at the same time, I become critical of everything. I keep comparing my standard of singing and writing. And that's essentially because as your gamut of work increases, you become more aware as a person and as a professional who is not doing just one thing. For me, it's about being engaged with different activities. This year, for instance, in February, I did a play called We Draupadis and Sitas. In May, I launch my book of poems Do not stand close to me followed by a music album Retro Rabindrasangeet in July.
Double dealing: I do multiple things at the same time and the trick is to be able to compartmentalise yourself. Also, women are multitaskers, so it's actually much easier for us to do more than one thing at a time. I time-manage myself and have slots for each of my ventures as I never do everything at one go. However, probably the thinking process for each of the projects happens simultaneously.
Challenges: Sometimes I get really tired. But I ignore it. In 2006, when I started my theatre company, Kali, I would rehearse from 6-9 pm everyday and post dinner, I would head to Goregaon to record my album and would be back home only at 6 am. When you're passionate about something you do, it never becomes a compulsion. Instead, somehow it gives a feeling of freedom.
Two sides of a coin: Singing is very different from writing because as a singer, you are singing to the tunes of a composer. I'm the recipient where you need to submit to someone else's vision. When I'm an author, I'm the conductor because I'm in control. It's like having different faces to the same you!

Vietnam Sapa Travel » Sapa Tours » Sapa Adventure Tours » Discover Sapa and BacHa Market 3 Days
Arrive at Lao Cai station early morning,bus and tour guide pick you up and transfer to Sapa town.After breakfast we leave the hotel and start trekking. The first part is on the road but we soon turn to the right and walk on a small path down the valley to the Muong Hoa River and from here to the Black H'mong village Lao Chai. Black H'mong is one of the biggest minority groups in the Sapa area. They are proud of their culture and keep their traditions and way of living. They have their own language and wear traditional indigio blue clothing. After this you continue to Ta Van village (1.200 m) to visit Zay people. Zay is a fairly small minority group of about 38.000 people who live mainly in the mountains in Northwest Vietnam. The development has meant that some of their old customs have been lost but many women still wear traditional shirts with a purple, blue or green color. The Zay houses are build of wood and bamboo with a clay floor. We stay overnight with a local family in Ta Van and have our dinner here.
After having early breakfast in the morning we drive to Bac Ha Market. It takes us 3 huor driving to get there.

By BBC News Online's Alfred Hermida |
A new video game inspired by the abstract artist Kandinsky aims to overload the senses with its psychedelic visuals and pulsating dance beats.
Rez for the Playstation 2 seeks to create a sense of synaesthesia, literally a crossing of the senses, so that you can "see" sounds or "taste" colours.
"Rez is an experience, a fusion of light, vibration and sound completely immersed in synaesthesia," said its creator, Tetsuya Mizuguchi of Japanese game developers United Game Artists.
The game takes place in a virtual world inside a computer. You play a hacker of sorts, flying through six levels of cyberspace in search of the artificial intelligence at the heart of this world.
But there is a twist to the traditional shoot-em approach that makes Rez stand out.
Virtual DJ
Every time you destroy one of the insect-like enemies, a sound is generated. This sound becomes a form in the scrolling, flashing 3D computer world rushing past.
Enemies create sounds when destroyed |
Destroying enemies in patterns results in more elaborate sounds and effects, literally creating the music and the graphics on the fly.
"We worked closely with the artists within the game, breaking down the tracks to the most basic of notes then putting them all back together to fit in with the game structure," Mr Mizuguchi told BBC News Online.
"We tried to create a game that was true to the concept of synaesthesia, as nothing has ever been done like this before I guess you could say we tried to be different."
Artistic influence
Tetsuya Mizuguchi drew much of his inspiration for Rez from the concepts of Kandinsky, whose own paintings were influenced by music.
Kandinsky was fascinated with power of expression in music and the freedom of imagination it gave the listener.
While one person is playing Rez, the others can watch the visuals and listen to the music
Tetsuya Mizuguchi, United Game Artists |
Mr Mizuguchi was thinking along similar lines when the idea for Rez came to him at a club, seeing the lights, feeling the vibrations and hearing the music all around him.
He sought to capture some of Kandinsky's ideas by using wireframe graphics that are reminiscent of the 1980s film, Tron.
The look of the Rez brings to mind the neon-charged cyberspace envisaged in William Gibson's bible of cyberpunk fiction, Neuromancer.
By flying through the virtual world of Rez, players are bombarded with colour, form, movement and sound.
"We have a vision that people will be chilling out with friends," said Mr Mizuguchi.
"While one person is playing Rez the others can watch the visuals and listen to the music."
Rez for the Playstation 2 and Sega Dreamcast is out now
March 1, 2002 Looking for Life in Cosmic CornersBy JOHN NOBLE WILFORD
new space show, another of those wraparound experiences with the universe brought indoors, is opening tomorrow at the Hayden Planetarium of the American Museum of Natural History. The show this time, though, is less about the universe itself — the merry-go-rounds of planets orbiting stars, the cascades of galaxies spilling through the heavens and almost into your lap, the tumult of creation, destruction and regeneration. All this is here: what would a planetarium show be without cosmic splendor? But it is only the setting for the real subject, which is life. As promised by the title, "The Search for Life: Are We Alone?," the 23-minute show is a fast-paced survey of one of the most provocative pursuits of modern astronomy. The title question goes unanswered, and may even be unanswerable in the immediate future. Nonetheless, the show could not be more timely. Thinking about life beyond Earth is no longer the stuff of idle speculation and science fiction. Serious scientists are devoting careers to the search, encouraged by recent discoveries to raise their sights and stretch their imaginations. A rock that may or may not bear traces of microbial life and increasing evidence of an aqueous history has renewed interest in Mars as an abode of life in some simple forms, at least in the past if not now. Life is found thriving in the most perverse environments on Earth, suggesting that it could adapt to unsuspected extraterrestrial niches. And, of greatest importance, more than 80 planets have recently been detected around nearby stars other than the Sun, raising expectations that there are many places in the universe where life might abound. Dr. Michael Shara, an astrophysicist at the American Museum, cited the developments as major influences in the selection of the show's subject. It also happens that museum scientists are active in the field, with surveys of all nearby stars that could have planets, simulations of star and planet formation, and various theoretical studies of life in the universe. More than a year in the making, with help from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the show combines the latest scientific knowledge with the boldly creative use of computer simulations and visualizations. The script was written by Dr. Steven Soter of the museum and Ann Druyan, widow of the astronomer and author Carl Sagan and an accomplished author in her own right. The actor Harrison Ford is the narrator. As the house lights dim, there are sounds of life on Earth, of gulls and monkeys, dogs barking and people chattering in many languages, a train whistle and the crack of a baseball bat, a baby crying and children singing to hopscotch. This beginning was conceived after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11 as a way to celebrate life where it is known to exist, troubles and all, before moving on to look for it in other worlds. Then the music soars and stars flood the planetarium ceiling. The universe holds billions of galaxies, each with billions of stars. And many of these stars could have planets, some of which could be Earthlike and — who knows? — could harbor some kinds of life. "Is there someone out there lying awake wondering if we exist?" the narrator asks. "What would they be like? We have no idea. It's hard enough to imagine life on Earth. If you have never seen one, could you imagine an elephant or a lobster?" One has hardly had time to wrap the mind around these questions before the scene shifts again, from the heavens into the depths of the sea. In a brief voyage through virtual reality, black sulfide smoke belches from cracks on the sea floor and supports bizarre forms of life that require no sunlight. If life can thrive under such extreme terrestrial conditions, the reasoning goes, it must be sufficiently adaptable and tenacious to spring up in what once would have been thought the most unlikely places. Suddenly, a rumble fills the room and one senses an ascent from the deep and the breaching of the sea surface, back to a world warmed by sunlight. It comes as a surprise and is the most visceral sensation of the show. A similar feeling comes when one seems to be plunked down on the russet surface of Mars, at a site recreated after the Pathfinder spacecraft landing place in 1997. Mars was and still is the other planet most likely to harbor some life, though not the little green men of yore. In any event, the visuals of the Martian landscape surround the audience and create the feeling that, with a step or two, one could be out strolling among the rocks and dust of another world. The illusion is stunning. The show moves on to the fundamentals of life and how it emerged on Earth, the astronomers who listen for possible radio signals from intelligent beings elsewhere and the rush of discoveries of planets around other stars. The most arresting observation from the show is that "planets could well outnumber the stars." "At this very moment, the same process that made our world is making new ones throughout our Milky Way," the narrator says. "Making worlds is what galaxies do." What is one to conclude after seeing the spectacular show and being introduced to the ideas and evidence behind the surge in research about life elsewhere in the universe? Is it a realistic quest? The producers and their scientific advisers said that they sought only to present reasons for thinking there might be life out there and how and where it might be. They are optimistic enough to think it's worth a look and to encourage others to imagine that extraterrestrial life is at least possible. These very thoughts make the universe seem grander still. The scientists exercised care not to inflate the results or prospects of the search for life beyond Earth. "We don't want people leaving with the idea that we've found extra terrestrials," Dr. Shara said. "We leave the doors open." Information The American Museum of Natural History's Rose Center for Earth and Space is at Central Park West at 81st Street. The center's Hayden Planetarium includes the Space Theater, where, beginning tomorrow, the new space show, ``The Search for Life: Are We Alone?,'' will be screened. Museum hours: daily, 10 a.m. to 5:45 p.m. (The Rose Center stays open Fridays until 8:45 p.m. for ``Starry Nights: Fridays Under the Sphere,'' with music, cash bar and tapas; this month, Valerie Capers Ensemble, from 5:45 to 8:15.) Space shows run every half-hour all day. Suggested admission to the museum, which includes the Rose Center: $10; students and 60+, $7.50; children 2 to 12, $6; under 2, free. Admission to the museum, the Rose Center and the Hayden Planetarium space show: $19; students and 60+, $14; children 2 to 12, $11.50; under 2, free. Information: (212)769-5100.

Estilo – which translates to style – offers a taste of Peru, Chile and Bolivia, among other countries, and a menu that rotates regularly through the rest of Central and South America. > Read more.
Magic, on ice
Disney's Frozen shines as an instant classic
Disney has spent the past few years in search of that certain something; that 'Disney Magic.' It's been a slow process. From The Princess and the Frog to Tangled to Wreck-it Ralph, the studio took slow steps, welcoming its princesses and fairy tales and musical numbers back into the fold. Every film was an improvement on the last, but none of them had anywhere near the charm or lasting appeal of the early '90s highs of the "Disney Renaissance."
Frozen, by far, is the House of Mouse's best attempt at a new Little Mermaid. > Read more.

If this team supposedly teaches replacement behaviors and positive reinforcement, then why don't the student's BIP's reflect that?? Why are they cookie cutter BIP's instead of having your "behavior specialist" write out an individual BIP instead of using a template that allows someone with no behavioral background check off a bunch of boxes and decide what will be implemented??
Your behavior program needs a lot of work. I've seen it first hand, and it's not a very good one. Your program lacks individuality, your "behavior specialist" are not behavior specialist, they are teachers with special education certificates. this does not constitute having the capability to write a BIP. unless you do behavioral assessments such as functional assessment interview form, how are you going to teach replacement behaviors if your teachers don't even know the function of the behavior in the first place??
give me a break..
