It's rare to find anyone who lives in Melbourne who doesn't adore it. I'm biased, of course, because I've chosen it for my home, and I'll share with you just a few of the many reasons why: Victoria's capital, Melbourne (pronounced Mel-bun), is a cultural melting pot. For a start, more people of Greek descent live here than in any other city except Athens, Greece. Multitudes of Chinese, Italian, Vietnamese, and Lebanese immigrants have all left their mark. Almost a third of Melbournians were born overseas or have parents who were born overseas. With such a diverse population -- and with trams rattling through the streets and stately European-style architecture surrounding you -- you could almost forget you're in Australia.
Melbourne's roots can be traced back to the 1850s, when gold was found in the surrounding hills. British settlers took up residence and prided themselves on coming freely to their city, rather than having been forced here in convict chains. The city grew wealthy and remained a conservative bastion until World War II, when another wave of immigration, mainly from southern Europe, made it a more relaxed place.
With elegant tree-lined boulevards and a raging cafe culture, Victoria's capital maintains a distinctly European feel. Expect wonderful architecture both old and new and green spaces like the Royal Botanic Gardens. This cosmopolitan city is also Australia's culture capital, with vibrant dining, shopping, and nightlife scenes.
In fact, Melbourne, which has a population of more than three million, is at the head of the pack when it comes to shopping, restaurants, fashion, music, nightlife, and cafe culture. It frequently beats other state capitals in bids for major concerts, plays, exhibitions, and sporting events.
Things to Do -- Survey Melbourne's gridlike streets with a birds-eye view from high atop Southbank's Eureka Skydeck 88, the Southern Hemisphere's tallest viewing platform. See key attractions on the free burgundy-and-gold City Circle trams. Central hub Federation Square hosts cultural events along the Yarra River. The city's historic laneways and arcades reveal the bohemian side of Melbourne. Soak up the art at the National Gallery of Victoria, or visit the Immigration Museum and the Chinese Museum for different takes on the settlement of this "free" city.
Shopping -- Find anything and everything in Melbourne's Central Business District, an open-air shopping mall. Art galleries and designer boutiques rub shoulders in Flinders Lane. Fitzroy's Brunswick Street, slightly grungier Smith Street and Gertrude Street attract the trend-setters with retro and vintage boutiques and book stores, while Prahran is the place for the label-conscious. Queen Victoria Market, just north of the CBD, sells everything from weird and wonderful bric-a-brac to food and clothes.
Nightlife & Entertainment -- For live music head to inner-suburb clubs like the Corner Pub in Richmond and the legendary Espy in St. Kilda. Southbank venues including the Arts Centre stage opera and ballet. The Princess, Regent, and Her Majesty's theatres offer shows, musicals, and plays. Federation Square abounds in modern meeting and drinking places, while the edgier Laneways serves up everything from graffiti-lined hole-in-the-wall cafes to sophisticated bars.
Restaurants & Dining -- Australian cuisine owes more to its melting-pot culture than to any home-grown culinary tradition, and the dining scene in Melbourne offers something from just about every corner of the world, to suit all palates and budgets. In the CBD, try authentic Thai, tapas, and bistro dishes in atmospheric Laneways eateries. Head to Brunswick for Middle Eastern fare or Chinatown for cheap Asian and Chinese grub. Richmond specializes in Vietnamese cuisine, and Fitzroy in Spanish.
Find flights to Melbourne with American Airlines and plan the trip of a lifetime to Australia. Its location in the state of Victoria means there is a wealth of things to do in Melbourne. Whether you're interested in active adventures such as scuba diving, hiking and whitewater rafting or more leisurely pursuits such as sampling local food and wine, you're sure to find exactly what you're looking for here.
Thanks to its location along the water, there are plenty of activities in Melbourne for those who love the outdoors. Port Phillip Bay offers many ways to explore, including scuba diving. On a dive here you can find more than 60 19th-century shipwrecks (plus four subs from World War I). On the surface of the water, there's even more to see. Go canoeing or kayaking to explore remote areas of the Victoria coast not accessible by land. Prefer to stay on terra firma? You still have plenty of options. There are an abundance of walking trails close to Melbourne that let you explore everything from an outback desert to an alpine trail to a rainforest.
If you'd like to take a more relaxed approach to experiencing the area, never fear. There are multiple things to do in Melbourne that let you savor each moment. There are many wine regions around Melbourne ripe for exploring. The Yarra Valley region boasts gorgeous views and more than 70 wineries. You can stock your wine cellar and learn history at the same time. After all, this is the area where Victoria's wine industry was born in 1838.
Back in the city, there are still a few more items to add to your list of activities in Melbourne. For instance, the Melbourne Museum is a brilliant showcase of Australian history and indigenous cultures alongside natural history. It's located in Carlton Gardens, and its permanent collection includes everything from a complete blue whale skeleton to the Bunjilaka Aboriginal Cultural Centre. The Melbourne Zoo, five minutes from the city's center, features more than 250 species from around the world, plus friendly keepers who give informative talks. And the Melbourne Aquarium lets you view sea life without getting wet, thanks to a 360-degree Oceanarium where you can view sharks and stingrays, and a colorful Great Barrier Reef exhibit.
From diving to dining, and everything in between, there's a whole fascinating world waiting to be discovered. Make plans today to fly to Melbourne and experience it all for yourself during a trip you'll never forget!

Photographs used with permission of the author
The magic of Guido Daniele's 'Handimals' series is obvious at first glance. Daniele's specialty is painting hands, and his first Handimals collection came out in 2000.
The myriad stripes of this zebra mirror the multiple talents of the artist, both as a painter and a photographer.
Born in 1950, he started body painting as late as 1990, but quickly discovered his niche. His preferred models are his two children, 17 and 24, as they are familiar to him.
A stunning angelfish depicted swimming in the ocean gives an indication of the amount of work this kind of art demands.
As Daniele says: "If you're spending hours on end holding someone's hand, I'd rather it be the hand of someone I love. There's nothing worse than working with a nervous, unfamiliar model whose hands are shaking." Let's take a look at some of these amazing pieces of body art.
Polly want a cracker? This representation of a parrot with bright plumage looks so real you could almost feed it! In fact, the artist's ability to make each creature so lifelike is based on in-depth research into how best to transfer its characteristics to the hand.
Man's best friend captured in an amazingly realistic way. Results like these are clearly spectacular – but the artistic process is never easy. The hardest aspect for Daniele is watching his work literally go down the drain at the end of the day, but as he points out, he also always gets a fresh canvas the next morning!
In this painting of an elephant, Daniele has managed to show the timeless wisdom of the creature – in its eye and in its expression.
This beautiful giraffe is so lifelike it looks like it belongs on the savannah!
As well as being aware of aesthetics surrounding his subject matter, Daniele is also very conscious of the conservation needs of animals.
A leopard painted in profile with exquisite detail right down to the tiny spots on its muzzle.
The artist says: "Every day there are species disappearing that serve the global balance. Forests are being destroyed by indiscriminate felling of trees, which then take dozens of years to regrow."
Dumbo here not only has big ears but a big long trunk, too!
"We are witnessing an impoverishment of the heritage of the Earth, a phenomenon of self-destruction of the planet by man which is really crazy. And I, in my small way, I try to bring public attention to these issues," Daniele continues.
A bald eagle in all its glory, complete with hooked beak and raptor's scowl.
Each Handimal takes between 3-10 hours to complete. The patterns Daniele paints are only part of the effect; the different parts of the hand themselves become features of the animal portrayed.
A crocodile comes alive in Guido's hands... and his model's!
In the words of the artist: "There are millions of people every day looking at these images who become sensitized to animals."
This trompe l'oeil clownfish is another star of the show!
He continues: "They identify themselves in this art form because it is painted on the hand, the most creative part of the human body. It is the hand that creates, but unfortunately also the hand that destroys."
A snake rears its head; enough to give anyone frightened of these creatures the shivers!
You can really see Daniele's mastery of photography as well as painting in this image of a dolphin.
Glowing eyes shine brightly above the mouth of this stunning black panther, and we recall the connection we make with animals when we see them as depicted in Daniele's art.
The splendor of this loggerhead turtle (a threatened species) is hard to beat, yet the cheetah (first image) Daniele painted first is his favorite.
As he explains: "It turned out perfectly the first time and gave me the courage to complete the rest of the set." Lucky for us!
This tropical toucan underlines how well fingers and thumbs lend themselves to becoming animals' beaks and noses.
The crossed fingers in this piece help to perfectly capture the appearance of a turkey.
A majestic swan peers knowingly at us, such that we almost forget we're actually looking at a hand.
Guido Daniele began his career as a hyper-realistic illustrator in advertising, and indeed his hand art was born out of work on an ad campaign.
The smallest of the swans, the coscoroba, comes to life in this image.
Today, Daniele is internationally renowned. His work has been picked up for campaigns by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), while TV network Animal Planet made him their 2007 Hero of the Year. To see more of Guido Daniele's stunning hand art, visit his website.

Ways to Avoid Medication During Labor
What advance arrangements should I make? How can I maximize the chances of having an unmedicated birth once I get into labor? How can those accompanying me in labor help me make choices about pain relief that I will be happy with in the long term? What advance arrangements should I make?In hospitals where epidural use is the norm, limited options tend to be available for women planning to rely on comfort measures and mental strategies. You will want a hospital that provides comfort measures (showers, rocking chairs, etc.), has policies that don't inhibit their use (freedom to be up and around in labor, no routine IV, etc.), offers sterile water injections for low back pain, and has nurses that know how to help laboring women who don't have epidural analgesia. You may also wish to consider birth in a free-standing birth center or at home so that non-drug methods will be the primary or only option.To cover the possibility of needing to go to "Plan B," you may wish to investigate the options for pain medications at your hospital or, if you have decided on an out-of-hospital birth, at your back-up hospital. (This website has a full section to help you learn about your options and choose a birth setting.) You may want to seek a maternity caregiver or group practice that is comfortable with your preferences and has lots of experience helping other women have unmedicated births. (This website has a full section to help you learn about your options and choose a maternity caregiver.) If you will be in the hospital, a doula or other experienced provider of labor support can help you avoid pain medications and work with other methods. At a home birth or free-standing birth center, the midwife, midwife's assistant, or nurse may take on this role, and you may also want to consider a doula. (This website has a full section to help you get the labor support you need.) How can I maximize the chances of having an unmedicated birth once I get into labor?

Find the Most Flattering Tux Style |
In the dark about which tux style will make you look your best? Here's help. You've never had so many pictures taken of you in your life, so make sure you look great. Keep these tips in mind for choosing the suit that best becomes you. Tall and ThinCongratulations. You can wear just about anything, from contemporary styles -- like single-breasted four-button jackets -- to a more classic, double-breasted tuxedo with broad shoulders. The choice is yours. If you're extremely thin and want to look bulkier, opt for the latter; it will pad your chest slightly and fill out your torso. One caveat: Make sure your trouser legs and jacket arms are long enough. Tall and Husky, or MuscularGo for a smooth, clean look without a lot of frills. A shawl collar (a more rounded lapel than a peak collar) will create an elegant line that will make you seem less bulky. Avoid double-breasted jackets and pleated shirts, which add volume. If you have a large waist, consider wearing a vest instead of a cummerbund, since cummerbunds draw attention to the waist, while vests conceal girth. Keep in mind that black has a slimming effect, which makes the classic tux perfect for you. You'll probably find that white suits, light-colored suits (such as tan or seersucker), morning suits, and tails are not your most flattering looks. And if you're extremely muscular, be aware of sizing, especially around your neck. You don't want to feel like your bow tie is strangling you. Short and SlimAvoid styles that look too large on your frame. Steer clear of double-breasted jackets. Instead, go for a two- or three-button jacket with a low-button stance (it elongates the body), paired with classic tuxedo pants or pleated trousers. If you want to look a bit broader, ask your tailor for extra shoulder padding. When sizing your tux or suit, make sure everything fits precisely so you don't end up swimming in yards of extra material. Short and BroadStick with a single-breasted jacket. Go for a classic two- or one-button jacket with a low-button stance and a shawl collar, which will keep your look streamlined and slim. Also, choose a jacket with a natural shoulder line, and avoid the more broad European styles. If you have a heavy waist, choose a vest rather than a cummerbund to draw attention away from your waistline and up toward your face. And once again, remember that black has a slimming effect, which makes the classic tux perfect for you. When it comes to sizing, make sure your jacket and trousers fit well. When you button your jacket, the material near the buttons shouldn't pull. Your trousers should fit comfortably around your waist.

We are back for clerical area and I want to remind you again Larry has written what I.
And actually convinces the most methodical.
Logical and rational.
Understanding of this entire issue that I've ever seen he's got a a long and thorough piece.
We've got a link to it Mike Huckabee dot com I want you to read it if you're really interest and in a lot more depth and we'll ever have time tonight.
Larry one of the issues that has been discussed the NRA proposed it.
It almost seems like a part of the president's plan although he's it is more about.
Armed police officers resource officers that you say that if we had teachers who were trained in schools.
And were armed they could prevent the kind of shootings are at least maybe stop them before they get out of hand like what -- sandy hook but that scares people armed teachers.
Should they be afraid of that.
No and what I say -- teachers I don't mean mandatory -- all teachers by no means.
But most people don't realize it already in the -- you talk there are -- teachers because basically our concealed weapons laws.
Allow the carrying of firearms in schools by annual legal people.
So if you have a teacher who has a concealed weapons permits -- the somebody who's volunteered to go through the process and go -- the background checks.
And they wish to carry a firearm at work they do so.
The gun is concealed.
Nobody knows the gun is even there until -- -- produced.
And that we've been doing this for for several years now and I have people probably well you know but the -- -- as trained as a police officer.
Well that's true but they don't need to be Navy SEALs -- -- speed bumps.
What was seen over and over -- with these kind of people these these violent mass shooters is -- tend to be operating in a fantasy bubble.
And they will attack and they will be hurt people but -- when they get an immediate violent response since an actual resistance they tend to have that fantasy bubble burst.
And then they'll -- either kill themselves or shall render.
Now if the police are your immediate violent response a lot of times that's going to be you know five minutes ten minutes that that bad guy can be either shooting people.
If you have or teachers or a principal or school bus driver janitor whatever -- may be just a personal to conceal -- for a parent that's visiting.
Those people can respond immediately.
-- worst case scenario from the bad guys going to be concentrating on killing them instead of the children and that will always buy more time.
So it's just installing speed bumps -- -- is what I propose and what's wrong with gun free zones that seems to be one of the big solutions -- people think all of our.
I'm they just don't work that people think of gun free zones fight I put up a sign that says no guns allowed to think about it.
You're a mass killer you're looking to become the most famous person of the world you're gonna go to a place for you can get that body count.
And that -- -- I think he's gonna talk about four weeks the president of the United States -- stop and have a press conference to try to understand you.
-- you're gonna go to the place for the all the victims.
Where can you go -- you won't face an immediate violent response.
The gun free zone and we see it over and over and over for decades now is almost all format shootings have taken place in the -- -- results.
-- -- -- -- -- -- People tend to think of this sign this is no guns allowed.
It's not crossed that wards off vampires.
Bad guys -- a look at that say oh this is a hunting preserve of innocent people like going there I'm -- have plenty of time to work.
The shooter if the Batman movie he -- to a theater.
That was posted no guns or out.
From here locally we had a shooting a few years ago he went to a mall that was posted no guns allowed.
We see this over and over and over again they just simply don't work.
Larry I can't tell you how much I appreciate -- your response and and being here and again I -- point people to your article.
I hope that they will get to know more about you because I think if they do.
They'll understand this issue in a very thoughtful.
And -- rational way if something were to missing in the in the Antarctic base Larry Korea thank you so much for.

Sit around talking about issues says summertime you know what that could mean Lyme Disease in an email from James in Carmel New York he writes I'm 61 years old.
And have had Lyme Disease for 22 years.
My mood and temperament and ability to handle stress is horrific.
What does this disease due to the brain he says I became ADHD and OCD and it basically destroyed my career tax money.
This can be really serious really -- lime disease it's not as simple.
Answer to this question -- you really have to dig in and find them and ask more questions.
It whether there any other psychological issues in the -- -- get to know this person but based on the you know that we have I contended had Lyme Disease.
It is always being misdiagnosed because it's a -- gamut of things the first thing is.
The actual rash that you find it's a very specific bullseye.
Rash with the red circle 01 penny of what you -- white halo in the middle you'll need to recognize that.
Few days after you may have flu symptoms everywhere this flu symptoms and that's one of the reasons why it's difficult to find that.
What you have.
Then goes to your joints cardiac issues that thing about lung disease Eric and Jamie is that it can go through their blood brain barrier can go to our brain cause a lot of inflammation.
And that can be treated with -- -- by the -- we're talking about 22 years.
-- this problem this is chronic and there are studies that shows on disease can affect your brain to the point of increasing anxiety.
-- CV attention deficit -- marriages and war.
My advice to this person is to really continue to fight continue to battle there are some sort of is that shows that -- -- by the itself sets -- -- -- you don't.
You sift -- acts on is a very aggressive antibiotics that we give.
For about a month or more to really digging into the deep teachers of the brand and I hope that helps but obviously is you have to be careful -- -- because you have to get to know your -- Doctor -- the big question is Lyme Disease had a prevented how do you spot it and that's a tiny.
That little.
The thing that you can't -- -- but I -- yeah right I see a lot of Lyme Disease in my office and a lot of people that think they have Lyme Disease.
And that rash David is talking about is -- only about 6070% of the time which is a lot.
But if you don't have that pressure -- of Lyme Disease and then the number one some -- -- -- his fatigue.
And you might have depression and you might have problems thinking you might get some -- -- if I treat it early enough are.
It's gone.
But where this email comes from his 22 years later he's still having symptoms.
A lot of people think they have chronic Lyme Disease and they don't actually have it but it gets very hard to tell.
Caused a blood test I do for Lyme Disease doesn't prove it one way or the other but if you start to have problems.
Severe neurological problems you can have.
It's paranoia from this you can have personality changes from this it's possible that he does have -- now we don't know yet in this is where the research is going.
Is it from the -- repeat the bacteria.
Or is it from some inflammation or your body's immune system attacking back we don't know I like David suggestion a lot.
For a patient that we think is chronic lyme -- tracks on antibiotic -- right I got there in the woods which oh.
Look at yourself and --

You'll probably want to hide YouTube's captions if using these subtitles.
- I have a problem here from my cousin.
- Let's see what it says.
- It says Milwaukee, Wisconsin is directly west of Grand
- Haven, Michigan, on opposite sides of Lake Michigan.
- So let me draw that.
- So if we say that this right here is Milwaukee.
- It's due west of Grand Haven, Michigan.
- So if I were to draw-- let me draw a horizontal line.
- We're going over water so let me do it in blue.
- It's due west of Grand Haven, Michigan.
- You know, you go straight east.
- If I were to go straight east, I would get to
- Grand Haven, Michigan.
- Which is right here.
- Let me just label that, g.
- All right.
- On a foggy night, a law enforcement boat leaves
- from Milwaukee on a course of 105 degrees.
- The hardest part of these problems, in my opinion, is
- really just trying to figure out the convention
- they're using.
- When they say a course of 105 degrees, what does that mean?
- What direction is it?
- And I checked with my cousin, and her book says that in, I
- guess in the boating world, the course is how many
- degrees clockwise you're going, of due north.
- So due north is 0 degrees.
- So 105 degrees.
- So due north would be 0 degrees.
- Due north would be-- that's 0 degrees.
- So he's going 105 degrees clockwise of that.
- So if we 105 degrees-- so he's going 105 degrees.
- So that's like 105 degrees.
- Something like that.
- He's going 105 degrees.
- And I'll do him in magenta.
- His course is 105 degrees.
- So that's 105 degrees clockwise of due north.
- And what is that-- oh, it's like my screen just backed up.
- So what is that angle, in kind of what we're familiar with?
- Well, this would be 90 degrees right here.
- Going here.
- And then he goes 15 more degrees.
- So in kind of unit circle terms, this would be
- negative 15 degrees.
- Or if we wanted to figure out the angle of this vertex right
- here, that would be 90, and then we'd go another 15.
- So this angle right here is going to be what?
- It's going to be 15 degrees.
- Because he said his course is 105.
- So 90 plus 15 is 105.
- So how much south he's going of, kind of, straight
- west-east, is 15 degrees.
- This whole thing is 105.
- OK, let me keep reading the problem.
- He leaves from Milwaukee at a course of 105 degrees at the
- same time that a small smuggling craft steers a
- course of 195 degrees from Grand Haven.
- 195 degrees.
- So once again, due north is 0 degrees.
- And this guy's going 195.
- So we figure-- this is just a convention.
- You figure out-- well, he's going 195 degrees
- clockwise of due north.
- So 195 degrees is going to be-- let's see, it's going to be
- a 180 degrees and then some.
- It's going to be like that.
- So his course is going to look something like this.
- His course is going to look something like that.
- And let's see if we can figure out what this
- angle right here is.
- Because we, as you can kind of see where this is going, we're
- trying to figure out probably the size of this triangle,
- if I had to guess.
- I haven't even read the whole problem yet.
- Let's see.
- So he's going 195 degrees.
- So if we were to drop, well, like here.
- This right here is a 180 degrees, to go clockwise from
- straight up to straight down.
- This is 180.
- And so he went 195.
- So this is going to be-- that's going to be 15 degrees.
- And if this angle is 15 degrees, what is this
- angle going to be?
- Well, this entire angle is 90 degrees, right?
- It's kind of the third quadrant when we're thinking
- in unit circle terms.
- So this angle right here is going to be 90
- minus this 15 degrees.
- So what's 90 minus 15?
- It's 75, right?
- 75 degrees.
- And if we wanted to convert his, kind of, course angles
- into unit circles-- you know, with unit circles, you start
- here and you go all the way around this way.
- So I think you would get something like 255 degrees.
- But anyway.
- So we figured out that this angle is 15 degrees, this
- angle is 75 degrees.
- What's this angle going to be?
- This angle is going to be-- these all have to add
- up to 180, right?
- So this is going to be 180 minus 15 minus 75.
- And what's that?
- That's 180 minus 90.
- So 180 minus 90 is 90 degrees!
- So this angle here is 90 degrees.
- It's a right angle.
- It's a right angle.
- Interesting.
- OK, so what do they tell us?
- They tell us the law enforcement boat
- averages 23 knots.
- So he's traveling in this direction at 23 knots.
- All right, that's a little bit faster than 23 miles per hour.
- And collides with the smuggling craft.
- What was the smuggling boat's average speed?
- So they both leave their respective sites at the
- same time, and they both collide, right?
- So the time they traveled is the same.
- Let's call that time, t.
- Right?
- I don't know.
- They both left at the same time and it took some
- time for them to collide.
- So let's say that the time between when they left and
- the time they collided is t.
- So how far did the patrol boat travel?
- Well, he traveled at a speed of 23 knots, and it took him time,
- t, to get to the collision.
- So the distance he traveled is 23t.
- Speed times time is equal to distance.
- So the length of this side is 23t.
- Similarly, this guy, we don't know his speed.
- Let's call it, I don't know.
- Let's call it x.
- His speed is x.
- But the distance he travels is x times t.
- x times t, right?
- So that's the length of this side.
- So let's see if we can figure out what x is.
- So what do we know?
- We know a lot about this.
- We know this is a right triangle, et cetera.
- We know this angle.
- So if we wanted to solve for xt and use this 23t
- information, let's see.
- We know-- look at this angle.
- If we use the 75 degrees, we know the opposite angle.
- The opposite side, sorry.
- Which is 23t.
- And we know the adjacent side, which is xt.
- So let me write SOHCAHTOA here.
- So what deals with opposite and adjacent?
- Well, that's tangent, right?
- So if we say the tan of 75 degrees is going to be equal to
- the opposite side-- 23t-- over the adjacent side-- that's this
- side, opposite over adjacent-- xt.
- Well, the t's cancel out, right?
- The t's cancel out.
- And let's see if we can solve for x.
- Multiply x times both sides.
- You get x tangent of 75 is equal to 23.
- And then divide both sides by the tan of 75 and you get x is
- equal to 23 divided by the tangent of 75 degrees.
- And so that's our answer.
- And if I had to-- well, actually, I have-- let's see.
- Tangent of 75 degrees.
- I don't have a calculator in front of me.
- You could calculate it.
- It's actually going to be a pretty high number.
- So you could try to fit, you know.
- If you have a calculator, just type in 75 degrees.
- Take the tangent of it, and perform this calculation.
- But we've essentially solved this problem.
- I'll see you in the next video.

Down-on-his-luck Las Vegas magician Burt Wonderstone (Steve Carell) reunites with his old partner Anton Marvelton (Steve Buscemi) to take on hip illusionist Steve Gray (Jim Carrey) in this comedy from prolific television director Don Scardino. Partners for 30 years, illusionists Burt and Anton made the Las Vegas Strip a magical place to be. But lately Burt and Anton's ticket sales have plummeted right alongside their once-strong partnership, allowing gritty street wizard Steve Gray (Carrey) an opportunity to steal their runic thunder. Now, in order for old dogs Burt and Anton to reclaim their rightful status as the best magicians on the Strip, they must learn some dazzling new tricks, and patch up their fractured friendship in the process. Olivia Wilde, Alan Arkin, and James Gandolfini co-star. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Law & Order: Who Let the Dogs Out?
Season 12 of Law & Order featured a new face in the D.A.'s office: feisty young A.D.A. Serena Southerlyn, played by Elisabeth Rohm. The opening episode, based on a real-life California case, gets under way when a jogger and her pet terrier are mauled by a vicious pit bull. Further investigation reveals that the attack dog's original owner, now serving two life terms in Attica, bred the animal for illegal dog fights. It is up to the D.A.'s office to prove that the pit bull's current caretakers, Sherri and Roger Quinn (Melissa Leo, Bruce McCarty), were fully aware of how dangerous their "pet" was when they bought it. Originally slated to air on September 19, 2001, this episode was moved forward to the following week. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Deadline [TV Series]
Hoping to revive the glory days of Lou Grant, NBC, in association with Law & Order creator Dick Wolf, came forth with the weekly, one-hour newspaper drama Deadline. Oliver Platt starred as Wallace Benton, a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter whose dauntless dedication was matched by his short temper and gift for deception. Aided by Beth Khambu (Christina Chang) and Charles Foster (Damon Gupton), two students from the graduate journalism class that he taught in his spare time (
spare time?), Benton regularly riffed on the rich, powerful, and corrupt in his daily column "Nothing But the Truth." Because he ignored such journalistic niceties as press passes and off-the-record statements, Benton was the source of many a headache for his lawsuit-fearing publisher Si Beekman (Tom Conti) and his managing editor Nikki Masucci (Bebe Neuwirth). And because he cared more about "The Truth" than financial compensation, Benton was forever behind in alimony payments to his three ex-wives -- one of whom, Brooke Benton (Hope Davis, worked side-by-side with Benton on the same newspaper. Also featured was that singular actress Lily Taylor as Hildy Baker. Debuting October 2, 2000, Deadline was almost universally panned by real-life journalists, who complained that the sort of melodramatic pyrotechnics engaged in by Wallace Benton hadn't been used since the gonzo days of The Front Page -- and even worse, Benton was a poor and clumsy writer, whose stilted headlines and purple prose seemed calculated to drive readers to other sources of news. Undaunted, the series' producers described Deadline as "Columbo in a newspaper office," so the viewer knew exactly what to expect. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Homicide: Life on the Street: Fire, Part 1
In the opening episode of Homicide: Life on the Street's fourth season, the viewer is informed that Baltimore homicide detectives Bolander and Felton have been suspended without pay for 22 weeks after their misbehavior at a D.C. police convention -- thereby neatly explaining away the departures of former series regulars Daniel Baldwin and Ned Beatty. The rest of the episode sets up a plot line that will not be resolved until the following week, beginning with the discovery of a charred body at an arson scene. This grisly revelation leads to a clash between homicide cops Pembleton (Andre Braugher) and Bayliss (Kyle Secor), and all-too-glib arson detective Mike Kellerman (played by new series regular Reed Diamond). And in other developments, Pembleton discovers that his wife is pregnant. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

An investigation reveals that Delbert has illegally donated his own sperm to expedite at least 31 pregnancies.

A young aspiring actress is killed by a lethal drug overdose. At first glance, it seems the girl was driven to her death by her mother, the proverbial "stage mom from hell." But as the detectives and the D.A.'s office pursue the investigation, it becomes painfully clear that both mother and daughter are inextricably linked with the sleazy producer of porno films.

A wealthy couple is murdered in their home, and it looks as if the killers were the victims' own sons, Nick and Greg Jarman (Matt Hofherr, Stephen Mailer). The Defense's claims that the boys were defending themselves against their father's abuse do not hold much water with the D.A.'s office, nor does the pressure brought to bear by the other members of the suspects' powerful and influential family. And then comes a startling and wholly unexpected development in the case. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In this fairly frightening slasher-horror film, sweet young Amy Jensen (Caitlin O'Heaney) and her friends decide to all get married together. Unfortunately, all the guys go on vacation, leaving the women at the mercy of a psychotic killer (Tom Rolfing) who goes after brides with a big knife. Amy must seek help from an obsessed cop (Lewis Arlt) and her nerdy friend (Don Scardino) who works at a morgue. The familiar supporting cast includes Tom Hanks in his big-screen debut, and '80s standbys Russell Todd, Paul Gleason, and Dana Barron. This one has some scary moments despite the clichéd plot and the obligatory severed head in a fishbowl, especially a stalking scene in a tailor's shop and the tense morgue chase at the end. The most memorable sequence, involving a murder at a movie theater, was later restaged almost shot-by-shot in Scream 2 (1997). ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi

Squirm was one of the more interesting films spun off this subgenre, in which a town is terrorized by bloodthirsty worms who've been angered by a downed power line during a rainstorm. Better than it sounds, and packs a few good scares (especially if worms make you squeamish). ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The Rip-Off
Those confused and troubled teens for the early 1970s become the focus of this drama. The story centers on a group of high school students who decide to get in the swing of things and find themselves some real satisfaction by proving they are indeed different from other generations. They try filmmaking, creating a rock band, and living in a commune (but that doesn't last because they hate the taste of organic food.) In the end, the young people are dismayed to learn that they are not as different as they would like to be. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

The People Next Door
Parents worry about their daughter when she freaks out on drugs and is hospitalized. Arthur (Eli Wallach) and Gerri (Julie Harris) face the reality when Maxie (Deborah Winters) must remain at the facility or return home. Della (Rue McClanahan) is Arthur's straight shooting secretary and mistress who offers an objective opinion of the situation. Dr. Salazar (Nehemiah Persoff) is the concerned physician treating Maxie. David (Hal Holbrook) and Tina (Cloris Leachman) are the neighbors whose son Sandy (Don Scardino) turns out to be a juvenile drug dealer. The story was taken from an award winning 1968 television special but fails to live up to the promise of the initial production. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

Set in a small Wisconsin town (even though it was actually filmed in Canada), this is the story of a young man living in the 60s. He has his own rock band, of course, and is against the war, of course. Despite some good performances, notably by Alex Nicol, the remainder of the movie is somewhat hackneyed and cliched...standard teenage angst, rebel without a cause...trying to deal with the chaotic social situation of the sixties. ~ Tana Hobart, Rovi

The Kalyazin Bell Tower is a Neoclassical campanile rising to a height of 74.5 metres (244 ft) over the waters of the Uglich Reservoir on the Volga River opposite the old town of Kalyazin.
The steepled belfry was built in 1796–1800 as part of the Monastery of St. Nicholas with a pentacupolar katholikon dating from 1694. Of its 12 bells, the largest weighed some 1038 poods. It was cast in 1895 to commemorate the coronation of Nicholas II of Russia.
When Joseph Stalin ordered the construction of the Uglich Reservoir in 1939, the old part of Kalyazin, including several medieval structures, was covered by the waters. The katholikon was dismantled, whilst the belfry remained, rising above the water.

Our startup got selected/invited to attend the fall 2011 DEMO Conference in Silicon Valley. We didn't get the free pass/scholarship. The organizers are asking for $8k to attend the conf to demo our product. We don't do social or mobile apps, is it worth it to attend this conf?
It seems they select 50-60 startups to debut their products. Out of which probably a handful may get press coverage. We are not sure if it is worth our while to plunk $8k at this early stage?
Anyone with a self funded startup attended this conf? What was your experience?
Thanks for any feedback.

What Is Bellydance?
What is Belly Dance?
Well, quite simply it's a misnomer. French Legionnaires who saw Algerian women dancing coined the term Danse du Ventre (belly dance). The Legionnaires must have noticed one particular movement as the dance involves the whole body. It's not just a dance of the belly.
What is Tribal BellyDance?
Is It Tribal ATS or Fusion? -Do we care?
American Tribal Style is defined by improvisational group dance. To achieve this style the group needs a common, learned vocabulary of moves. It has its roots in the FatChance BellyDance style, created and developed by Carolena Nerriccio of San Francisco. Other groups like Pedralta and Domba, have developed their own versions of ATS but have their roots in the FatChance style. The moves have a powerful feel, borrowing heavily from Indian Khatak, Flamenco and Romany tradition.

Players on the Packers Roster You May Not Know – Part 1
Back in February, the Packers announced the signing of 9 players to reserve/futures contracts. The news understandably got buried under the still-ongoing Super Bowl championship euphoria. So with the lockout dominating football news now, I thought we'd take a quick look at these players, who are all now officially Green Bay Packers.
Adrian Battles, G, 6'3″, 318lbs, Minnesota State. Battles, who grew up in Milwaukee, was signed by the Vikings as a UDFA before the 2010 Season. He was released during the final roster cuts and was out of football until the Packers signed him to the practice squad in December. Battles told Mankato Daily Free Press reporter Chad Courrier, "When you get released, that's a lot of adversity," he said. "But I have a lot of people, my mom and friends, who believed in me and kept my spirits up. It made me work hard; I started working out twice a day instead of once. I wanted to make sure that if I got another opportunity, I would be ready. When the call finally came from the Packers, it was like a dream come true, because they had always been my favorite team growing up. I live 100 miles from this place and it was unbelievable. When I got this call, it was a dream come true and I came here just ready to work."

The 2000 Vintage was a challenge for all Eden Valley winemakers. Following a windy flowering period in Spring 1999, very low crops were set on the Viognier vines. Before the grapes were ripe, significant rains fell creating the potential for disease and loss of crop and quality. The following warm drying weather averted disaster and the fruit remained on the vines to ripen perfectly over the summer achieving high sugars and intense flavours. After harvest, the fruit was pressed directly into barrels, and the juice handled with controlled oxidation. The wine was fermented with indigenous yeasts in mature French oak barrels. After fermentation the wine was aged on lees for nine months to increase the complexity and flavour generosity of the wine. Yalumba 'The Virgilius' 2000 is pale gold in colour with lovely green highlights. The nose shows intense scented perfume aromas with musk and apricot nectar. Lifted ginger spice is layered on the palate with a mineral texture and complex stone fruit flavours.

Upward Bound student reaps rewards of program for 2nd year
- 6-27-2011
Ethelsville native and rising senior at Pickens County High School, Kiara Willingham, is enjoying her second summer in the Upward Bound program at Stillman College. "I look forward to it each summer," she said.
"My favorite part of the program is getting the help I need. They help me with the classes and subjects that I need help with the most," she explained. "It is a lot of fun too. Last year we were able to go to Washington D.C."
Willingham has plans on attending college and perhaps perusing a business degree. "My family has encouraged me to go to college. I look forward to it. If I attend a college that has an Upward Bound program then I want to be involved with it then, too."
As a component of the program, Willingham is job shadowing in the Office of Marketing and Public Relations for several hours a week under Veronica Clark, Assistant Vice President for the department. "I wanted to job shadow to find out what it takes to work in that area. I want to learn as much as possible," she said. "Last year I worked in Office of Financial Aid and it was a great experience."
Her advice to other students who are considering Upward Bound is, "Try it. You will see. You get to be on a college campus and it will show you just how far you can go if you try."
Upward Bound is the oldest program under the umbrella of the federal TRIO program. The name "TRIO" was first used in the late 1960's to describe the first three federal outreach programs—Upward Bound, Educational Talent Search and Student Support Services. Upward Bound was created in the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 as part of President Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty.
The Upward Bound Program has been in existence for over 40 years, and has been at Stillman since 1966. The Program was created to help first-generation college students and students from families that meet income guidelines established by the federal government graduate from high school, attend college and reach their full potential while in college. The Program provides tutoring, ACT, SAT and ASHSE preparation, college and career information, instruction and advisement in academics, counseling, visits and tours to colleges and universities, cultural and social enrichment activities and job shadowing. The summer Program also allows for a six-week residential Program on the Stillman campus. This gives high school students the opportunity to experience living on the College's campus.
Stillman's Upward Bound Program serves six counties including: Hale, Perry, Sumter, Green, Pickens and Tuscaloosa. Stillman Upward Bound counselors are Russell Rivers, Elizabeth Lowe and Tywain Griffen. These counselors, along with the Director of the Program at Stillman, Dr. Bettye Mullen, work with schools in these counties to recruit students for the Program. The Program allows admittance for 190 students. A specific number of students are admitted from each school within the counties served by the Upward Bound Program at Stillman.
Ninety percent of the students that attend Upward Bound go on to college. After completing the program and graduating from high school, Upward Bound students are provided a fee waiver to take the ACT or SAT. In addition, the summer following their senior year in high school, Upward Bound students are allowed to enroll in nine college credit hours of course work at Stillman. These classes are offered at no cost to these students and the credits can be transferred to other colleges and universities. Upward Bound facilitators follow-up with previous Program attendees for six years after their completion of the Program. This allows the facilitators to keep up with how the students are doing, what they are doing and how they have grown since the Program.
Dr. Bettye Mullen, Director, stresses the critical need for parents of interested students to turn in all of the necessary paperwork completed on time, and the earlier the better. Mullen continued to explain that many students want to participate in this amazing program and those that have completed the necessary paperwork early are more likely to be admitted to the program than those whose parents wait until later in the game. To be considered for acceptance into the Program, a completed application, a copy of the student's most recent report card or transcript and documentation of household income is necessary. Students will also be asked to have a face-to-face interview with Upward Bound facilitators.
Applications for the program are accepted year-round. Stillman has three enrollment periods: (Fall) with academic component held July – August; (Spring) with academic component held December; and (Summer) with the academic component held from March - May.
"Many people have the misconception that Upward Bound is a summer program. Though we have a summer component, the Program runs year-long," said Mullen. Students that are not admitted to the summer component are encouraged to apply to attend the sessions held during the academic year. Classes held during the academic year meet on Saturdays from 8 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Lunch is then served from noon until 1:00 p.m. at which time students are dismissed.
If accepted for the summer component, students receive at no cost: room and board on the Stillman campus, three meals a day, and all travel expenses. In addition, summer students qualify for a stipend of $15 per week and the opportunity to job shadow at $7.00 per hour.
Upward Bound's academic components include: English, reading, mathematics, natural science, foreign language and computer science. There are also special interest electives such as study skills, speech, creative writing, logic, journalism, choral music, mathematics seminars, a spelling b and a scholars bowl.

I bet that 30% of those "success stories" already ceased to exist as such, 50% are having similar problems to yours and 20% are running "perfectly". I.e., I use a cluster (9 Quad-Xeon nodes) which the computing centre here in Jülich has built and is maintaining. It runs stable. with kernel 2.2, Myrinet and GM 1.1.3 - but with really unsatisfactory (communication) performance. But they don't get it to run reliably with the current Linux/GM/MPICH versions which of course should run faster, better, nicer. I don't blame Linux or Myrinet for these problems - I just want to show that even people capable of running Crays, SP-2s, Paragon, any kind of workstatons etc. have a hard time setting up and maintaining a Linux cluster. And the next update is usually the next nightmare.

Steve Larson has retired after more than three decades as the senior pastor of the church.
Steve Larson and his wife, Connie, didn't know a soul when they moved to Newbury Park in October 1978, but they said God told them it was the right place to spread his word. Less than a year later, Steve Larson was holding the first service as pastor and founder of the Evangelical Free Church of the Conejo Valley, recently renamed The Bridge, to a handful of people at the Borchard Community Center. Under the leadership of the Larsons, the church has moved to its own property and grown to around 1,400 members.

Calculating overall Car life
Now I created a quite simple model, which fits quite good, when I use real world data. I made an example with the 2012er Honda Accord 2.4i with 6-speed manual:
You can see the gears (1st to 6th) and their weigthing (in this case percent).
Out of this I calculated an average gear ratio. Combined with the final drive, the engine life and the wheel circumference I calculate the predicted car life. I was very surprised, that the result fits perfectly into the real world, where the typical car life of a passenger car is between 150.000-200.000mi.
I calculated this with an Excel spreadsheet, so if anyone wants to have it to play with weighting, gear ratios etc., I can send it...

Coats for Kids Foundation, established in 2004 in Alexandria, VA has been a long time partner of Operation Warm, Inc . Founded on similar principles, both organizations have made it their mission to provide new winter coats to children in need. Our shared vision of ensuring every child wearing a new winter coat is healthy, able to attend school regularly and has a strong self- esteem is why Coats For Kids Foundation and Operation Warm, Inc. have united with a goal of serving at-risk children in the Greater Washington D.C Metro area and an increasing number of children nationwide.
After distributing more than 38,000 new winter coats since 2004, Coats for Kids Foundation founders, Paul and Cheryl Darby retired in 2011. They reached out to Operation Warm, Inc. so the their legacy could continue. Their profound impact on children in the Washington D.C region has been remarkable. Together, in the winter of 2011/2012, Coats for Kids Foundation and Operation Warm have already reached more than 5,000 children within the National Capital Area, and 220,000 children througought the country.
Within the National Capital Area, children will continue to be served through Coats for Kids Foundation. Our efforts have been expanded with the help of Operation Warm, who similarly provides brand-new coats to children in need in this local area. Across the United States, Operation Warm runs one of the largest coats for kids programs in the country, distributing new coats in 37 states.
Our commitment to high quality coats and impeccable customer service will not be sacrificed as we continue to work with our partners across the country. Better yet, we are thrilled about the potential growth opportunities that will result from the union between Coats For Kids Foundation and Operation Warm, Inc. Learn more at www.operationwarm.org.
The Coats for Kids Foundation and Operation Warm are proud to be a long time participants of the Combined Federal Campaign. This year, in addition to participating in the National Capital Area Campaign, we will also participate in the South Jersey and Delaware Campaigns. We're also participating in the State Employees' Charitable Campaign of Delaware. Learn more

"The IAFF has a long history of supporting programs that help local neighborhoods and families," says IAFF General President Harold Schaitberger. "Community outreach efforts can have long-term and lasting impact on the local communities IAFF members serve."
Firefighters Coats for Kids Foundation is established to help children in poverty survive and thrive by providing hundreds of thousands of new winter coats and bringing warmth to needy children. Through collaboration with Operation Warm, Inc. and Coats for Kids Foundation, the turnkey program will help inspire hope for the more than 17 million children living in poverty in the United States and Canada, as well as help bring coat manufacturing back to North America.

The legislators are a bunch of pussies in Boston and New York.
They're still allowed to go, they just have to be with an adult. That seems completely reasonable to me.
Yeah, it is Ok.
They can go as long as they are with an adult.
Nothing wrong
Not only brazilians can do this stuff
Yeah, under 16 you probably shouldn't be there without an adult anyways. I'm ok with this.

The Spirit of Reform.
During the first two decades of the century, the country was alive with the spirit of reform. Advancements in medicine coincided with socio-political reforms as Progressive Era reformers demanded that government take more responsibility for Americans' health. In the first decades of the century the people of the United States saw extraordinary advances in medical science and technology. In the second decade, especially, enormous improvements were made in the ways physicians were trained and hospitals were organized. World War I highlighted many of the health and medical issues of the country even as, it accelerated improvements in medical care at great cost. But though American life and health was improving overall, not all Americans benefited equally. In the 1910s the country was still struggling with many pressing health issues and would face its single most devastating health crisis of the twentieth century in the great influenza pandemic of 1918 to 1919, which resulted in over a half-million deaths.
The example of syphilis in the 1910s indicated both the promise of medical research and the difficulty health workers faced in effecting widespread change. Victims of syphilis had little cause for hope until German scientist Paul Ehrlich's discovery of a compound named salvarsan, which stopped the organism...

The current console cycle may not be winding to a close just yet, with yet more life left for both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 as developers continue to support these machines well into 2014 (and beyond?), but we will be seeing the last of the top console exclusives this year when games like Beyond: Two Souls launches on PS3 and a selection of downloadable games arrive on Xbox 360.
They've had a good run, but now that we have the chance to look back over the years we would like to know which current generation console you thought had the best exclusive games overall. Which exclusives do you think were the most important and which were your favourite?
Was it the PS3, Xbox 360 or even the Wii that played host to the best exclusive games this generation?

There are many reasons why people begin counseling. Counseling can be a very powerful tool when you are undergoing a crisis. But can therapy be useful when you are not in crisis? YES!
The process of psychotherapy is to help people get "unstuck". Whether it is working through a trauma, divorce, sickness, or day to day activities; the process unfolds insight and increases awareness into the self. People are able to gain a better understanding of their own behavior and issues. Then they are able to identify their feelings and motivate themselves to be a better person. Therapy helps improve overall health and well being. This in turn can translate into increased self confidence and productivity which can let people live up to their full potential.
People at any age can benefit from the process and experience of therapy. The old adage "you can't teach an old dog new tricks" is not something that translates into counseling. Increasing awareness and insight can in turn create new affects, behaviors, and cognitions.
ometimes in our lives we just need someone to talk to. A therapist's job is to provide active listening and unconditional empathy. Where else in your life do you have a one way relationship devoted 110% to you? Most relationships provide a selfish need. The relationship between therapist and patient is for the pure benefit of the patient. This creates a safe space for the patient to explore their feelings without fear of upsetting the person they are speaking to. This therapeutic alliance can give the patient confidence, ease their anxiety, and create space for true identification of their thoughts and beliefs.
By definition psychotherapy is "the treatment of emotional, behavioral, personality, and psychiatric disorders based primarily on verbal and nonverbal communication and interventions with the patient," Simply put, psychotherapy aims to alleviate psychological distress through talking. This includes, but is not limited to, those with psychiatric conditions. Psychotherapy is a universal treatment that can help improve coping with everyday life.
