America's Got Talent: Sharon Osbourne Interview!
June 07, 2011 10:00 AM by Lisa Princ
Can't get enough of America's Got Talent on NBC? Well, you're in luck – not only do we have a preview of tonight's new episode, but we also had a chance to chat with judge Sharon Osbourne yesterday! Sharon dished about the show, surviving cancer, and whether or not we can expect to see her on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills anytime soon. Keep reading for more…
America's Got Talent judge Sharon Osbourne took some time out of her super busy schedule yesterday to chat with us in a press conference and a sweet lady she was. Sharon dished on numerous topics, check out her interview below!
Question: Piers said he thought you were a much harder judge this season, is that true?
Sharon Osbourne: I think probably I am definitely harder than I have been in previous years. I am actually comfortable in that position I am in now, you know, a little more judgmental. I am making it more about the talent and not someone's life story.
Question: With a background in music are you stricter on musical acts?
Sharon Osbourne: When it comes to music I guess I am a lot more stricter. I do require, they have to be at certain level to be taken seriously by me.
Question: Who is your favorite artist that your husband has played with or showed with?
Sharon Osbourne: I would have to say my personal favorite and the group I am the most proud of is Metallica.
Question: Last season Michael and Jackie set the bar high, what impact has that left for this season?
Sharon Osbourne: A lot because you know you strive to get better and better. Their level of professionalism was high and you don't want to go below that level, you want to go above that level.
Question: What's the hardest part about being a judge?
Sharon Osbourne: There is more that goes along with being a judge because everyone has got a dream and you don't want to destroy anyone's dream, but you don't want to give false hope at the same time. You don't want to destroy anyone either because dreams keep people going.
Question: With so many things going on, how do you find balance within your work?
Sharon Osbourne: I don't. I mess up on a lot of things – you think you can handle it all and you can't. I will definitely review my next year because I packed things in so tight this year. You can't do it all at the same level….something has to suffer.
Question: You look amazing, do you have any secrets or tips for looking so great?
Sharon Osbourne: Oh my God no, God no, I wish I did. I'm overweight, 25 lbs overweight and don't work out. I had a great surgeon – I guess the face worked out pretty good [chuckles].
Question: Is there anything else you would like to accomplish?
Sharon Osbourne: I think to be a better person, I think I am a work in progress but I'd try to be a better person. As far as my personal goals in life, I have reached them all. I never wanted to be number one at everything but I have been blessed – so personally, to be a better person.
Question: There has been a British invasion so to speak on television, what are your thoughts on that?
Sharon Osbourne: There is a kind of British invason here, I think it happens every decade and I think America loves English accents. I think America for English people, is the ultimate goal. Many come over to try and make it and go home again, but I am blessed to be in the lot that has made a dent here. I love this country and I don't ever want to leave.
Question: Since you seem to be the only sane person on the show, who would you rather live with out of Piers, Howie or Nick?
Sharon Osbourne: That's a hard question. Nick is a great catch, but I think Mariah would beat the shit out of me. Piers is funny, funny and you know that dry sense of humor, but his wife is pregnant right now and I wouldn't upset her by moving in. Howie, well he wouldn't want to touch me so that would not be fun. I think I will stick with my husband.
Question: What are your thoughts on Howie?
Sharon Osbourne: I know Howie because he's my neighbor, and he is just the funniest, naughtiest guy I have met in years. It made me so happy to do the show with him, we literally live next door to each other.
Question: How does judging America's Got Talent differ from your other reality television gigs?
Sharon Osbourne: The difference is, and the thing I love about America's Got Talent is that it is not just singing. The element of surprise is still there for me because you never know what someone is going to do.
Question: What sets America's Got Talent apart from the rest?
Sharon Osbourne: Like I said because it's not all about singing. How many times can you hear another rendiition of "Hero". It is refreshing in the fact that you can hear a little girl sing like an angel and then have a drag queen on the same show. You're never bored with it because there is always something different – the next act is a totally different genre than the one before.
Question: How is the level of talent this year?
Sharon Osbourne: I think for our show, each season gets better and better. Of course I am going to say it's better this year because I am on, I am not going put down something I am on. Truly it is packed with amazing talent. Last year was spectacular and this year is just as good.
Question: What act or contestant has inspired you the most in the past six seasons?
Sharon Osbourne: That's a good question, probably two seasons ago, or three seasons now, we had a lady opera singer who survived cancer and chemo and had her dream – Barbara her name is.
Question: You are always so sweet when critiquing children, do you consider yourself the mother hen of the show?
Sharon Osbourne: I suppose so because I am the oldest [laughs]. I think it is something that comes with age. With the young contestants I think "how would I want my kids to be treated" and you have to be careful when it comes to kids. It takes so much courage for them to get up there.
Question: How did being a cancer survivor change your life?
Sharon Osbourne: It did change my life, it stopped me from being so selfish thinking business was the important thing because it's not. When you work with people who dedicate their lives to saving others, it makes us realize we are very unimportant when there are doctors and nurses who dedicate their lives to saving others. We are very small.
Question: Can we expect to see you join the cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in the future?
Sharon Osbourne: You will never see me on the Beverly Hill Housewives, because I have never been a "housewife"…ever. I have always worked from the age of 15, and I have never been a woman who spends her day deciding between a facial and manicure, that's not me.
Thanks to Sharon Osbourne to speaking with us, what a wonderful and funny gal she is! Are you looking forward to this week's auditions? Comment and share your thoughts with us below and then be sure to tune in to NBC Tuesday at 8 pm EST to see more auditions!

Work Shoes: Stylish Work Boots that Do Double Duty at the Office

Business casual clothing bears a murky definition that leaves many professionals uncertain of what clothing is appropriate at certain events.

This gives men a lot of options in terms of how they can dress in certain situations. Although some functions will specify on flyers or invitations that the dress is business … [Read more...]

About The Game
Early Life : Vinnie was born an only child in Florence, into a family as simple as the next. At 2 years old he lost his dad in a gun-fire between two rival clans in Italy. Wanting to forget this tragic incident his mother decided to leave Europe and move to America to start a new life. Vinnie got his first taste of money by conning the cons themselves in the streets of Chicago. What was a simple hobby to him quickly turned into a profession. His name would spread very fast among locals as being the best bounty hunter in the area and soon the best in the world. Obviously, such notoriety would bring him many contracts, lots of money and women, but also his share of enemies. Although, this did not intimidate our star, who eliminated all who dared to oppose him. And all of a sudden, among all this violence, a woman entered his life. Vinnie was surprised that she could withstand such blood baths, but behold she could not withstand his charm. And since this day Shorty has been rolling by Vinnie's side, and not just in the bedroom. A contract hit that turned sour forced Vinnie to meet one of his biggest adversaries: Kiro, an ex-member of the Yakuza, thirsty for vengeance (see: Sift Renegade 1, Sift Heads 5 and Sift Renegade 2). Following several heated battles Vinnie proposed an alternative to this quarrel and let Kiro take position among their team. And here is where Sift Heads World – Act 1 begins!
Description : Being the leader of a group of Assassins and named the best bounty hunter of all America, Vinnie can boast about being the toughest around! No one has ever got past him. And being able to manipulate any gun with ease it's no surprise he has been accused of some of the worst carnage.
Early Life : Shorty has somewhat of a hazy past. Even if she came from a wealthy French family and was naturally blessed she quickly became exhausted and sought to bring some action in her life. Wanting to live dangerously she began to flirt with drug dealers in Eastern Europe. When things started to go wrong that's when she decided to leave the country and join the best bounty hunter currently known: Vinnie! From there on both would write history and Shorty's reputation would take off thanks to her partner's notoriety. But one day their bond would be tested when one of Vinnie's enemies kidnaps her to get closer to him. Wrong plan... to provoke Bonnie & Clyde! Kiro, who was a strong enough adversary to Vinnie, would be defeated but then invited to join the couple's clan (see: Sift Renegade 2). And from there Sift Heads World – Act 1 had begun!
Desctiption : Vinnie's girl is not just sexy but also very lethal. She is a weapons expert and has also acquired much experience as an assassin from being at Vinnie's side. The best sharp shooter of the group and the ideal for tactical diversions.
Early Life : Kiro is the son of a well known family with direct ties to the Japanese mafia; better known as the Yakuza. He was one of the best assassins of his clan and with a portfolio garnished with so many assassinations it's no surprise that he quickly became one of the best killers in the orient. His dexterity with all types of Samurai weapons would become essential and his expertise. One day his youngest brother would lose his life because of the internal corruption that was raging among the organisation. From that day Kiro's anger exploded into a black vengeance. He would quickly discover who the guilty was; Vinnie! (See Sift Renegade 2) Although he would also discover that the hit was ordered from within his own clan. After much bloodshed Kiro and Vinnie would put their rivalry aside and find a common ground. In that same instance an unpredictable association would be formed between the three! From there Sift Heads World – Act 1 is born!
Description : A real modern Samurai. Kiro was once known as the best killer of his clan, the Yakuza. But after a betrayal and the killing of his brother he has rebelled against the group, murdering all those responsible or anyone who got in his way. Certainly the best of the team when it comes to persuasive tactics.

There is a uploadservlet that you can use to upload the data, and then use the SOAP api to attach the uploaded data. The best way to figure it out is to look at the soap-*.txt documents in the zimbra source tarball, and use firebug to watch what Zimbra does when uploading the file.

I'm incredibly excited about the developer engagement we're experiencing on the Box platform. More than 35,000 developers are building on Box. Every month, our platform sees 1 billion third-party API calls and the Box OneCloud ecosystem just reached 1,000 app integration partners. It's not just devs that are leveraging our platform – over the last year, usage of third-party apps by Box customers increased 292%. All of this growth shows that Box has a tremendous opportunity to help our customers and developers build a new generation of enterprise software.
This morning at Box Dev, we announced several important updates to the platform that enable customers to consume Box in an entirely new way and provide developers with a new set of tools that can help transform how individuals and businesses create, consume and collaborate around content on Box and beyond. Today is an important day for the Box platform and I wanted to provide a deeper look into how Box developers and customers can tap into these new services and offerings.
New Platform Products: Box View & Metadata
Box View provides the most elegant content viewing experiences on the web and mobile by taking documents and converting them to HTML so they can be displayed in high fidelity on any device. This is the evolution of the Crocodoc technology that Box acquired last year and provides developers a new rendering service for content that can be used in any application that displays documents.
The technology is being used by more than 100 businesses, including Zendesk, Oracle, Xero, UberConference, Clio and Producteev by Jive to provide a great user experience around content within their applications.
For example, when a UberConference caller is logged into UberConference.com, they now have the ability to upload files from their computer to share with others on the call and are instantly viewable thanks to Box View. In Xero, an online bookkeeping service, when a small business owner or accountant uploads supporting documents for their financial records (such as an invoice), the files are instantly viewable within Xero's web application by leveraging the View technology.
In addition to this new offering, we are excited to open source viewer.js, our custom viewing technology that allows developers to build unique ways to display content, including carousel views, flip books and animations. You can access viewer.js at the Box Github repository. Like all open source projects, we encourage developers to contribute back so everyone in the community can benefit.
Box View is our first standalone service for developers. There is a generous free tier for a Box-branded viewer, and usage-based pricing for custom and large volume viewing experiences. For more details on Box View, check out the blog post here, review the documentation or get an API key to start building for free. Expecting a lot of volume or want to create a custom experience? Contact the team at email@example.com.
Announced as a private beta in September, we're excited to share that metadata is now available in public beta. Metadata allows developers to add context to their content stored in Box and is part of the Box Content API. Metadata is now built into our mobile SDKs (iOS, Android and Windows) and incorporated in our search engine. We've also seen some exciting partners integrate metadata into their applications already, including GoFormz for form filling and Taptera for improved sales productivity. We can't wait to see what other app developers come up with! Check out this blog post for the full details on how to get started with metadata.
New Content API Pricing and Platform Customers
Box has always provided developers with free access to its APIs. As we've grown, many of Box's enterprise customers have leveraged our platform to build custom applications, streamline business processes and automate workflows. These customers include Sungevity, Guaranteed Rate, Sunbelt Rentals, Full Resolution Health, Random House, MediCopy, McLarens and many others. To address this growing customer demand, we're introducing new enterprise pricing plans today for our Content API – designed specifically for businesses that want to leverage the APIs at scale. You can learn more about these pricing tiers here.
We're continuing to strengthen the core of what we do at Box by constantly improving our content platform offering with new functionality like metadata. At the same time, we will continue to build new broad base tools for developers, starting with our Box View technology. Our mission is simple: we'll build the best products to power the content and data for your applications – leaving you free to focus on building the best apps to help companies take advantage of the massive changes in how people utilize software for this new information economy.

I am new to this, so any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Suppose you have at some point in time lots of relations and you had to build a universal relation (or in general you may have a big big relation). The point is to analyze its data and induce a new schema/description of this.
Is there some work on that ? Is there something that gives a solution to this problem ?
P.S: I am not interested in XML, but relational data. Received on Thu May 16 2002 - 22:55:48 CDT

The technology elite is not the norm
As someone who closely watches technology, it's oh so easy to get jaded and to think that what's normal to me is ordinary to most people in the world, but the fact is that I'm part of the technology elite, and I'm more the exception than the rule.
Take smart phones for example. We who carry our smart phones with us and can't imagine life without them might think that everyone feels this way, but guess what, you and your friends are the isolated case here. In fact, Royal Pingdom reported last month that while there were 5.9 billion (yes, that's billion) mobile subscribers worldwide, just 13 percent were smart phones.
According to Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) there is somewhere in the neighborhood of 6.8 billion people in the world, and while it's entirely likely that there aren't close to 6 billion mobile phone users, the numbers are informative. There are a ton of phones out there, but in spite of the wild success of Android and iOS, smart phones remain just a smidgen of the worldwide market.
A recent Pew study found that 35 percent of Americans had a smart phones, so if you bring it closer to home (at least for me), we have a third of users carrying smart phones. That means that 2 out of three people aren't carrying them.
How about email? If you follow content management, you probably are firmly convinced it's dead, but it's not even close. In fact, it's doing quite well, and as more people carry more mobile devices including smart phones and tablets, that's just as likely to increase as not.
In its latest numbers from last year, Royal Pingdom actually found that 107 trillion emails were sent in 2010. That was up from 90 trillion in 2009. Of course, almost 90 percent were spam, but even when subtracting for the menace that is junk email, that's a lot of communication going on by email.
If that's not enough for you, consider that Sara Radicati of The Radicati Group predicted continued growth for email, in a May 20011 report called Email Statistics Report, 2011-2015. "The number of worldwide email accounts is expected to increase from an installed base of 3.1 billion in 2011 to nearly 4.1 billion by year-end 2015. This represents an average annual growth rate of 7 percent over the next four years," Radicati wrote.
And for those of you who believe Enterprise 2.0 collaboration tools will supplant email, the evidence just isn't there to support that notion yet, no matter how much sense it makes.
Most of us who follow content and content management issues are probably among the technical elite. We talk to each other. We read each other's content. We go to conferences together and listen to one another's presentations. We live inside a technology bubble, but it's important to understand that most people live in another world entirely.
And it's those people you have to keep in mind as you look ahead. You can't continue to make assumptions about the world based on how you use technology. You have to look at the masses of people outside the technology elite and find ways to communicate with them on their level with their tools, the way they use technology--or you risk making a huge strategic blunder. - Ron

By Chelsea Girl in China
It's the time of year when many expats are preparing to leave Shanghai for the summer months.
Not fancying temperatures that can reach 40C or humidity of 94 per cent, they abandon ship. This especially applies to students, teachers and mothers who don't work and whose children are on their school holidays. Merchants who source from China also often take the opportunity to spend a month or two doing business in their home countries in Europe. It adds up to an expat exodus. At the moment, it seems everyone has plans and can't wait to tell you about them. From a month in the French Riviera, two months trekking around Mongolia and Nepal, to a few weeks in the bosom of their families- whatever the plan, it is irksome to hear about for those of us left to see out the soggy, hot summer in depleted numbers.
This came in the Shanghai Expat website newsletter this week from Dennis Ming Nichols, the editor of the site: "I'll be taking three weeks this summer in South Carolina (my home state in the USA) to go to a few weddings, see my niece or nephew get born, breathe clean air and forget all the Mandarin that I've learned in the past two years." As someone who has already missed a friend's wedding this summer, will miss a birth and has bronchitis, this is exactly the kind of email I don't want to receive.
For all those expats who are confined to Shanghai either because they were locally hired and have little annual leave to speak of, or their work demands they stay in the city for the duration of Shanghai Expo (which ends in October)like me, I feel your pain. Take heart and remember that you haven't really lived in Shanghai until you've lived through the summer months, slogging it out with the locals, soaked to your skin by the time you get to work, hopping from one air-conditioned haven to another. By August, you may well find yourself reaching for that wet towel to wear on your head that the locals find so effective. And at least, at the end of it, you will have the satisfaction of knowing you are not a fair weather expat.

Bruins rallied around injured teammate
(Page 2 of 2)
"I think it was the best-case scenario," Burton said of weathering the early injury and leading at intermission. "We hadn't lost all season after leading at halftime. All three
Without the offense Williams provided in the paint, the Bruins had to rely on their perimeter shooting. Seniors Travais Hylton (two) and Michael Abrahams combined to sink three treys in the third quarter, but Northport got six points from Petrasek and four apiece from Milligan and Andrew Seaman to take a 36-33 lead into the fourth.
The Tigers matched the game's biggest lead of four points — 38-34 — early in the fourth before baskets by Bembury and Hylton tied it and senior Elijah McMillan vaulted the Bruins in front with a bucket with 2:48 to go.
Baldwin was that close to overcoming increased odds and getting to Glens Falls.
"We wanted to win it for Jordan, and we gave it our best shot," Burton said.

FALLS CHURCH, Va. (WUSA) - If you scoff at the notion that Yoga might become an Olympic sport, consider this, it may be more physically challenging than some sports already in the Olympics... like table tennis or race walking.
Ha Nguyen, a Yoga Instructor at Dancing Mind Yoga in Falls Church is accepting of race walking, "They get really into it and there was form, and stuff, so I think its really cool. I'll try it out."
But some question why rhythmic gymnastics or synchronized swimming are Olympic sports. And how about shooting?
Ha Nguyen: "I don't know about shooting. I'm not a big fan of guns. But, you know, they could be my body guard anytime."
Pole dancers may need body guards after their routines... but is it a sport worthy of a formal competition at the highest level?
Zach Street, another instructor at Dancing Mind Yoga answered, "Is dancing an Olympic sport? I don't think so. Its more of art form, right? An entertainment form...right?"
The International Pole Sports Federation and USA Yoga...are both working toward getting in the official games.
Paula Baake, owner of Dancing Mind Yoga would love to see her passion brought to the world's stage. "Let's bring it on. If it means more people understanding about Yoga and getting to see how beautiful a practice is, why not?"
If Yoga becomes an Olympic sport, it would mean yogis competing against one another and that's not what Yoga is all about ... or is it?
"With Yoga, the mind-body-spirit connection is within. So, to have Yoga as an Olympic sport, it'd be great to have coverage, but I don't believe that is the true teaching of Yoga,' said Nguyen.

Northeastern University Marine Science Center
Nahant, Massachusetts
Students begin the Three Seas program on New England's Atlantic coast. During the spring semester at Northeastern University's Marine Science Center in Nahant, students gain the strong foundation needed for subsequent portions of the program in the fundamental areas of marine biology, ecology, and experimental design.
Northeastern University's Marine Science Center is located on 20 acres at the end of East Point, a rocky point extending into the Atlantic Ocean and has a view of the north shore of Massachusetts and the Boston skyline. No other year-round laboratory on the Atlantic coast of the United States has an exposed rocky ocean frontage like the Marine Science Center; it is exceptional in its close proximity to many Boston area academic and research institutions. Facilities at the MSC include: a flow-through sea water system, research laboratories, offices, library, wet lab with flowing seawater, dive locker, and an interactive micro-computing laboratory with fiber optic Internet capability and WiFi throughout the building. The lab has several small boats for nearshore work.
Though Nahant is situated only 12 miles from a major harbor and city, the prevailing coastal currents provide remarkably clean and stable seawater at East Point. The 9.5 ft. tidal amplitude and undisturbed rocky shoreline provide a great variety of intertidal and subtidal communities ideally suited for investigations of rocky shore ecology. The sheer cliff faces, which extend subtidally to a depth of 40 ft., represent a unique biome.

Cate waits to pick Oscar gownCate Blanchett is reportedly turning down offers to try on designer Oscar gowns - because she's terrified her baby will vomit over them.
The mum-of-two, who is up for a prize as Katherine Hepburn in 'The Aviator' at the ceremony later this month, says she is playing it safe and looking at dresses on the internet instead.
The blonde beauty, who gave birth to Roman last April, will don her chosen just minutes before hitting the red carpet to avoid any baby mishaps.
She revealed: "I'm just too scared to put on a dress in case the baby vomits on it. I've visited style.com"

Growing up, my two favorite comedians were Steve Martin and John Candy. My favorite filmmaker was John Hughes. And yet I was never allowed to see the collaboration of my three heroes -- Planes, Trains and Automobiles, because it was Rated "R" and my parents are mean. When I finally broke my father down and was permitted to watch it, I treasured every moment. And I still do. Maybe it's the years of anticipation that made the film so special to me, but it easily ranks among my very favorite comedies of all time.
John Hughes was in the midst of an amazing hot streak in 1987. He had written the screenplays for hits like Mr. Mom, National Lampoon's Vacation, Pretty in Pink, and Some Kind of Wonderful. His first four films as a writer/director had been Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Weird Science, and Ferris Bueller's Day Off, four of the most important films of my youth (and a lot of peoples' youths). Planes, Trains and Automobiles was a bit of a departure for Hughes -- an "adult" comedy, with nary a teenager in sight. Thankfully, Hughes knew the complicated world of adult relationships and feelings just as well as he did that of teens.
Martin plays Neal Page, an uptight advertising man who is trying to get from New York to Chicago in time for Thanksgiving. John Candy plays Del Griffith, a slobby shower curtain ring salesman who is headed the same direction as Neal. For better or worse, they wind up taking the trip together. Tale as old as time. But beautiful writing, pitch-perfect performances, and a surprisingly powerful undercurrent of emotion make Planes, Trains and Automobiles the buddy comedy by which all others must be judged. The film has too many big laughs to recap, so I'll just give a string of my favorite lines, and hope they stir up some memories. "We'd have better luck playing pick-up sticks with our butt cheeks..." "People train runs out of Stubville." "Her first baby come out sideways. She didn't scream or nothing." "Those aren't pillows!" "You're going the wrong way! You're going to kill somebody!" "Oh, he's drunk. How would he know where we're going?" "Another couple of balls and an extra set of fingers?" "Wilma!" "The radio still works! And it's clear as a bell!" "Our speedometer has melted and as a result it's very hard to see with any degree of accuracy exactly how fast we were going." "I have two dollars...and a...Casio!" And of course, who could forget the classic airport "F-Word" sequence, which gave PTA the rating that kept this brokenhearted child from the film for far too long.
There are so many funny moments you could be fooled into thinking PTA is just another laugh fest, until a frankly amazing hotel room confrontation between Martin and Candy. Martin is fed up with Candy and unleashes a killer monologue (I used to audition for plays with it) about just how annoying he is. "Everything is not an anecdote! You have to discriminate! You choose things that are funny or mildly amusing or interesting! You're a miracle! Your stories have none of that! They aren't even amusing accidentally!" It's a really relatable and funny speech, but Hughes doesn't give you the option of sitting back and laughing. Instead, he repeatedly cuts to the genuinely hurt face of Candy throughout, forcing you to see how much Martin's words sting. The laughs are there, but boy do they stick in your throat. And when Candy shoots back with a monologue of his own -- it forces the viewer into remorse not just for laughing along with Martin's cruelty, but for the times he or she poked fun of someone. It's painful, it's brutal, it's true. Contrast that scene with a film that PTA clearly inspired -- Tommy Boy. I think Tommy Boy is hilarious, but the audience is invited to laugh right along with David Spade as he rips into Chris Farley. The difference is what makes Tommy Boy a great comedy and PTA a great film.
And that's not the only moment of high emotion. PTA has a lot to say about understanding your fellow man, about not judging a book by its cover, and about the complicated world of male friendships. It's got a lot more to say on that last subject than a movie like this year's Superbad, where the underdeveloped and overpraised "heart" felt shoehorned in, and not a natural outgrowth of the characters. And PTA gets at that genuine human emotion with even funnier jokes about testicles and homosexual panic.
Perhaps Martin and certainly Candy were never better than here, and Candy unfortunately was never given the opportunity to be. He is so moving, so lovable, so hilarious in this film, and the movie's ultimate revelation about Del Griffith is made twice as sad and touching in light of Candy's tragic death. The final freeze frame on Candy's angelic face (also the ending of another great Hughes/Candy collaboration -- Uncle Buck), marks a powerful closing point for a classic character comedy, a classic comedy character, and for Candy himself.
Throughout high school, I held yearly Thanksgiving "PTA meetings" -- gatherings of friends to watch the film. In college, I formed a band and called it The PTA, in honor of the movie. It's been an important part of my holiday season and an important inspiration to me as a writer for years. You'd be hard pressed to find a sweeter, funnier comedy. Planes, Trains and Automobiles was released almost exactly twenty years ago, and (aside from the very eighties musical score) it feels like it could have hit theaters yesterday. Kids, if you're under seventeen and your folks won't let you watch "R" - rated movies, sneak this one. If you get caught, have your parents call me personally. No one should have to wait to see Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

Glælognskviðaand Nesjavísur Excerpts
Þar svát hreinn
með heilu liggr
lofsæll gramr
líki sínu,
ok þar kná,
sem kvikum manni,
hár ok negl
hánum vaxa. (Glælognskviða v. 5)
"So that there the pure prince, happy in praise, lies with his body intact; and there his hair and nails grow, as on a living person."
Þar borðveggs
bjöllur kneigu
of sæing hans
sjalfar hringjask,
ok hvern dag
heyra þjóðir
klokna hljóð
of konungmanni. (Glælognskviða v. 6)
"There the bells of (on?) the boarded wall (i.e., of the stave church in which Óláfr's shrine would have been housed?) ring themselves over his resting-place; and each day the people hear the sound of bells over the royal person."
En þar upp
af altári
Kristi þæg
kerti brenna;
svá hefr Áleifr,
áðr andaðisk,
sálu borgit. (Glælognskviða v. 7)
"And there up from the altar candles burn, acceptable to Christ; thus has Óláfr preserved his soul, free of sin, before he died."Bið Áleif,
at unni þér
(hann's goðs maðr)
grundar sinnar;
hann of getr
af goði sjölfum
ár ok frið
öllum mönnum. (Glælognskviða v. 9)
"Pray to Óláfr that he may grant you his land: he is God's man; he obtains from God Himself
prosperity and peace for all men."
Vasa sigmána Sveini
sverða gnýs at frýja,
gjóðs né góðrar hríðar
gunnreifum Áleifi,
þvít kvistingar kosta –
koma herr í stað verra –
áttu sín, þars sóttusk
seggir, hvárirtveggju. (Nesjavísur v. 5)
"There was no reason to reproach Sveinn for his fighting (din of swords) or battle-glad Óláfr for a good attack (storm of the falcon of the victory-moon), since both parties had to commit themselves to a lopping of limbs, where men engaged; the force had not come into a worse place."
Þess getk meir, at missi
morðárr, sás fór norðan,
harða margr í hörðum
heimkvámu styr þeima.
Sökk af sunda blakki,
sunnu mörg til grunna –
satt's at Sveini mœttum –
samknúta – vér úti. (Nesjavísur v. 10)
"I guess this, moreover, that very many a warrior (killing messenger) who came from the north may miss his home-coming in that hard battle. Many a ?man? (same-jointed with the sun) sank from the ship (horse of the sounds) to the bottom. It is true that we encountered Sveinn offshore."
Né hœfilig, hreifa,
hykk dróttinsvik þóttu,
elds, þeims allvel heldu
orð sín, viðir, forðum. (Nesjavísur v. 13)
"Men (trees of the fire of the hand), I think that betrayal of the lord did not seem becoming to those who had in the past kept their word very well."
Hirð Áleifs vann harða
hríð, en svá varðk bíða –
peitneskum feltk – páska –
palmsunnudag – hjalmi. (Nesjavísur v. 14)
"Óláfr's warband won a hard battle on Palm Sunday and in this way I had to await Easter. I put on a Poitou-made helmet."
Loptbyggvir, mátt leggja
landsrétt , þanns skal standask,
unnar, allra manna,
eykja , liðs á miðli. (Sigvatr fragment 4)
"Sea-king (dweller of [i.e., on] the stern of the beasts of burden of the wave, i.e. of the ships), you can lay down a law of the land that will stand between the contingent of all men."

Hey everyone.
I am new to the Touring portion of this forum.
I am in a pickle. I picked up the Flu on Saturday. It's Tuesday night and I still feel weak. I am not throwing up, no fever, just low energy.
I was planning on leaving Thursday to bike from Portland Oregon to San Francisco California. At this point I am already gonna push it to Friday but I don't even know if that will be enough time to get back to health.
Anyone have any experience with this?
Any help would be appreciated!

Twenty-five years ago, Andrei Filipov (Aleksei Guskov) was a prodigy - once the celebrated conductor of the Bolshoi Orchestra, the greatest orchestra in Russia. Today he works as a cleaner at the Bolshoi, after being fired during the Communist era when he refused to expel Jewish musicians.
When Andrei intercepts a fax from the Theatre du Chatelet inviting the Bolshoi Orchestra to Paris, he comes up with a crazy idea: he'll gather up his old musician friends (now working rag-tag jobs), head to Paris and pretend to be the famed orchestra to play Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto. The long-awaited dream to deliver one final performance!

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., Nov. 15. WITH season-best performances in nearly every event, the Georgia Tech men's and women's swimming and diving teams enjoyed a strong first session Friday in a two-day meet against Purdue and Cincinnati at the Boilermaker Aquatic Center.
The Yellow Jacket men lead the Bearcats, 128-52, and trail No. 18 Purdue, 113.5-72.5, while the women are ahead of Cincinnati, 137-46, and are behind the No. 19 Boilermakers, 149-37. The meet concludes Saturday with nine events beginning at noon.
Senior All-American Shilo Ayalon led Tech's men Friday, posting a win in the 1000 free and anchoring the Jackets' victorious 800 free relay. He took the 1000 in a season-best time of 9:05.97, while the team of Itai Eden, Matt Figh, Ofir Sorias and Ayalon won the 800 free relay in 6:46.96.
Tech also enjoyed a strong showing in the 100 breast, where senior Tomonori Tsuji placed second in a season-best mark of 56.76 and classmate Robbie Foster took fourth in 57.21.
Other runner-up finishes for the Yellow Jacket men came from junior Paul McCarty (one-meter diving), Eden (200 fly), junior Mike Comer (50 free) and the 200 medley relay team.
Tech's women's team got solid individual swims from sophomore Anna Saum, who placed third in the 100 back in 57.37, freshman Laura Heiser, who took third in the 100 breast (1:06.22) and freshman Elizabeth Foster, who finished third in the 200 individual medley (2:08.16). Each mark was a season-best for the Jackets.
Tech got runner-up finishes from freshman diver Laurissa Prystaj on the three-meter board, as well as the 200 medley relay team of Saum, Heiser, Meghan DeVinney and Moeko Wallis.

Avengers: Age Of Ultron Set Footage Features A City Ravaged By The Hulk
By Nick Venable 2014-08-07 11:22:17 comments
While the video seen above could easily be mistaken for a tragic real life attack of some kind, its all good in the South African hood, as this is just a bit of explosive set footage from Joss Whedons The Avengers: Age of Ultron. You might think its someone from Marvels rogues gallery thats guilty of all this destruction, but Johannesburg can actually thank a massive green monster for bringing this part of the city to its knees. Apparently Bruce Banner has found himself at a loss when trying to control Hulk side of him, and Hulk wasnt content to just hang around help rebuild New York City.
This video and some images seen below come from Instagram user Paperless3 (via Comic Book Movie), who offers not only the on-the-street footage but also a bunch of overhead shots of the set. As you can imagine, we never get to actually see Hulk himself, as all of the CGI will get put in during the post-production process. But it looks like hell be in fine form, scaring the shit out of city dwellers who just want to walk down the street without having to deal with police shooting automatic weapons in their general area.
The question here isnt "Why is the Hulk doing all this damage?" but "Why is he doing all that damage in South Africa?" It certainly gives credence to Mark Ruffalos claims that both Banner and his inner beast will have more to do in this sequel. And if comic fans know anything about Banner, its that he has no trouble traveling to foreign lands to get authorities off his back. In the first first Avengers film, Black Widow caught up with him in Calcutta where he was putting his medical background to good use. Was he doing something similar in Johannesburg, or is he chasing after someone? At such an early point in the films production, guesswork is just that. But its still pretty fun.
Here are a few different shots of the demolitions aftermath. Imagine how much mayhem had to go down to get that much dust on those cars.
Answers to all of our questions will be found when Avengers: Age of Ultronhits theaters on May 1, 2015. Speaking of hitting, heres a previously released set video featuring a stunt involving a truck explosion. But its far more likely that the truck was the victim of a giant green fist. Man, I cant wait for this movie.

Paper Abstract:
Critiques Miroslav Ivanovic's analysis. Ivanovic's deconstruction and unfair categorizing of Socrates' argument. Claims Miroslav ignores the spiritual aspects, the deliberate contradictions, irony and humor of Socrates argument. Socrates quality of critique. Problem of the unjust law and Socrates response to it.
Paper Introduction:
The first major problem in Miroslav Ivanovic's "Socrates' Last Error" is that he does not give enough credit to the irony and creativity of Socrates' arguments. Ivanovic seeks to categorize into a entirely and exclusively legal or rational argument. In doing so, he ignores the spiritual aspects of Socrates argument, the deliberate contradictions, the irony, even the good-hearted humor. Socrates is presenting a masterful painting of life and truth and the relationship of the just man to the city in which he lives, and Ivanovic is deconstructing and categorizing that masterpiece in little chunks to fit his preconceived notion of what Socrates is trying to do. To Ivanovic, Socrates is simply making a legal brief, or a logical argument. However, it is clear that Socrates is after far more serious

We want to give you as much information as we possibly can about our papers and essays, but we cannot give them away for free. In the text below you will find that while disordered, many of the phrases are essentially intact. From this text you will be able to get a solid sense of the writing style, the concepts addressed, and the sources used in the research paper.
In other words, he is saying that incondemning him, a just man, the laws themselves and/or the judicialdecision must be definition be unjust. If we are to take Ivanovic at face value and accept his premise, heis correct, or at least there is a kind of legal or logical truth in hisargument: there are some errors of logical in Socrates' argument, andtherefore his argument is not entirely rational. http://www.bu.edu/wcp/Papers/Anci/AnciIvan.htm----------------------- 1 Ivanovic's argument is too strictly bound by the "law" to comprehendand appreciate what Socrates is doing. It is almost as if Socrates is doingwith philosophy what Jesus did with religion. There is nodoubt to this reader that Socrates is indeed saying that the judicialdecision was unjust. It is no coincidence that both men accepted their condemnationinstead of fleeing, although Jesus remained silent while Socrates put up alengthy argument. In this context, Ivanovic is kin to those who urged Jesusto flee, not understanding that something far more profound than thestrictness of logic and law, or even death, was at stake. Jesus claimed to befulfilling the law and transcending it at the same time. "Socrates' Last Error." 1-7. After all, in his final dialogues, Socrates speaks ofall manner of things that are not rational in terms of being accessible tothe calculating mind, such as all things spiritual. Nevertheless, he makes these statements gently and respectfully,showing that even in criticizing others he does so with love in his heart. Ivanovic seeks to categorize into a entirely andexclusively legal or rational argument. To Ivanovic,Socrates is simply making a legal brief, or a logical argument. Ivanovic is technically correct when he says that Socrates shouldhave defied the unjust law by fleeing the death penalty he faced, for it isclear that Socrates himself believed the law and/or the judicial decisionto have been unjust in finding him guilty and condemning him. The first major problem in Miroslav Ivanovic's "Socrates' Last Error"is that he does not give enough credit to the irony and creativity ofSocrates' arguments. However, it is clear that Socrates is after far more serious andprofound goals than merely presenting syllogisms or logically connectingdots or quoting legal precedent. Therefore, Ivanovic fails to appreciate enough that there aredeliberate contradictions in Socrates' argument. Those lives to Socrates were often lived in defiancean disrespect of laws themselves! Obviously, Socrates disagrees with the judicial decision.He even gives somewhat of a warning to those who have condemned him thatthey will not fare well in their lives or in history because of thatdecision, while he sees himself as faring quite well, both in the afterlifeand in the eyes of history. The quality of critique which Socrates used most effectively, andwhich won him fame and glory through the centuries was the quality ofrespect. In doing so, he ignores thespiritual aspects of Socrates argument, the deliberate contradictions, theirony, even the good-hearted humor. Socrates is presenting a masterful painting of life and truth and therelationship of the just man to the city in which he lives, and Ivanovic isdeconstructing and categorizing that masterpiece in little chunks to fithis preconceived notion of what Socrates is trying to do. Therefore, it is important to note the difference in Crito betweenSocrates' disagreeing with the law and/or with the judicial decision anddisrespecting it. Work CitedIvanovic, Miroslav. And yet in the next breath he issaying that he is going to accept those laws as just because to dootherwise would be to betray the principles he lives by his whole life byremaining in Athens. Socrates' entire life of dialogue was a life of disagreement, orcritical commentary, even of defiance of the basic ways that "respectable"men lived their lives. There is no way to make such arguments and live such a life and dieaccording to such beliefs and not be involved in contradiction and irony.It is almost as if a just man needs an unjust law in order to be a justman. This is fine asfar as it goes, but it fails to distinguish between defiance of judicialdecisions, disrespect of judicial decision, disagreement with judicialdecisions, and critical commentary on judicial decisions. Socrates is mapping out the human soul,and Ivanovic is focusing on the pencil Socrates is using. He invariably disagreed with the men with whom he argued,obviously, but he always did so "respectfully." This overriding respect forthe men with whom he argued allowed them, in the end, to agree withSocrates and admit that they had been wrong about whatever word or idea orprinciple they had been arguing about. His entire argument, directly and indirectly, is anargument against the decision. Socrates in Critois simultaneously fulfilling and transcending philosophy and law and evenrationality. Socrates is saying thatthe laws and the system of justice have failed to live up to the principlesthey are supposed to espouse. Again, however, Socrates is doing more thansimply presenting a logical argument, and that is why Ivanovic's critiqueis not persuasive. Ivanovic writes that Socrates argues that "Disrespect of judicialdecisions produces the destruction of laws" (Ivanovic 2). And he will be a just man, in Socrates' very pure definition, only ifhe continues to be a good citizen unto death--even if he is being put todeath precisely because he was a bad citizen by the city's standards! At the same time, because he believes he has made a contract with thecity, because he believes that the city has allowed him to live as hepleases (up to the point it arrested him), he agrees to die in order tocontinue to be a pious and just and truth-seeking man. After all, he sees himself as a pious man, a just man,and therefore any law that condemns him for being impious must bydefinition be unjust. To be fair to Ivanovic, his argument is not entirely meaningless,despite its limitations, because, after all, Socrates does champion theprinciple of rational thought throughout Crito, and therefore an argumentwhich tries to point out errors of logic is an argument that should atleast be treated respectfully.

Girl Scouts has always provided many opportunities for girls to grow in their respective religious faith, including religious recognitions that are facilitated at an individual or troop level through a faith community. Each girl is encouraged to develop her own strong values within the context of family, faith, and the Girl Scout Promise and Law.
The newly released, My Promise, My Faith pin is an award found within the Girls Guide to Girl Scouting.
Earning this award helps girls explore how Girl Scouting and their
faith offer similar ideas about how to interact with the world around
them—and how Girl Scouting can tie into their faith.
According to the Girl Scout Constitution:
"The motivating force in Girl Scouting is spiritual. The ways in which members identify and fulfill their spiritual beliefs are personal and private."
GSHS encourages girls to work with their parent and religious leaders to earn their religious rewards if they choose to do so. Girl Scouts recognize that religious instruction is the responsibility of parents and religious leaders.
The new Girl Scouts My Promise, My Faith pin invites girls in grades K-12 to experience a faith journey through exploration of the Girls Scout Law and teachings from their faith.
Girls can earn this national pin each year.
Steps to earn the pin:
Adult volunteers from faith organizations partner with girls by:
Select a program level below to preview their My Promise, My Faith requirements.
They are programs that have been created by the national religious organizations/committees, not by the Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. These programs encourage girls and young women to become more active members in their own religious groups, and they encourage spiritual development by providing specific religious instruction. These programs offer recognitions or pins that are approved for wear on the official Girl Scout Uniform.
National organizations have created religious recognitions to encourage girls to grow stronger in their faith. The Girl Scouts of the U.S.A.has approved of these programs and allows the recognition insignia to be worn on the official uniform, but each religious organization develops and administers its own program. Check with your council store or contact the religious organization directly to obtain the curriculum booklets.

Greetings all,
I received info a while ago (for my www.aircraft-deliveries.com website) from an Airbus source that A330 serial 871 is allocated to the USAF. Now I don't follow military transport threads and/or news as it/they don't interest me and therefore thought nothing of it, but I've since been informed by one person that this is "impossible", while others have said "is this really true, because it's big news if so?".
Can anyone confirm that the USAF do have an A330 on order please?

Millions of Americans took part April 26 at the eighth annual National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day. More than 300 tons of expired or unused prescription drugs were estimated to be collected throughout the country.
However, if you missed this opportunity to clear out your medicine cabinet, there is still a way to dispose of your unwanted medicines in a safe, responsible manner.
A partnership between the Hingham Police, the Hingham Citizen's Police Academy Alumni Association, Plymouth District Attorney Tim Cruz, Sheriff Joseph McDonald Jr. the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and Covanta-SEMASS allow residents to safely dispose of unwanted prescription drugs around the clock, 365 days a year.
Hingham's Med Return Collection Box is located in the lobby of the police department on 212 Central Street.
"Thanks to a generous donation by our Citizen's Police Academy Alumni Association Hingham was one of the first towns in the region to have a Med Return box and the response from the public has been impressive," said Hingham Police Chief Michael Peraino.
Peraino said residents are welcome to dispose of medications at their convenience, with no questions asked or paperwork to be completed. Only liquid medication and needles are not accepted in the box, he said.
"Since January of 2013 we have disposed of 280 pounds of medications and since the beginning of 2014 we have collected another 100 lbs. To say that this program is a success is an under-statement," said Peraino.
Opiate overdoses and prescription drug abuse continues to make headlines as prescription drug abuse in Plymouth County, and the US, reach epidemic proportions. More US residents, nearly 6.8 million, currently abuse prescription drugs than those using heroin, cocaine, inhalants and LSD combined, a 2012 National Survey on Drug Use and Health found.
"The dangers of prescription drugs often start in our homes with young people obtaining these drugs from the family medicine cabinet or from friends." said District Attorney Cruz.
"We are aware of the need to keep medications out of the reach of young children who could accidentally ingest them, however the group most likely to misuse and abuse prescription and over the counter medications are teenagers."
According to the Centers for Disease Control as many as one in five teens has abused prescription drugs. In a 2012 National Institute on Drug Abuse survey, nearly half of high school seniors surveyed said opioid drugs other than heroin would be fairly or very easy to get. Our teenagers are under the false impression that because these drugs are prescribed that they are safe.

HyperOffice tries to bridge social email gap
HyperOffice released a new version of its online collaboration platform, which attempts to bring all the tools you need to communicate and share information in a single tool. Think of it as Outlook meets Yammer in a single package.
Like Outlook, it provides an email tool where you can communicate in a conventional fashion, but as you get relevant emails--such as a new project--you can define a project, build a team, assign tasks, schedule meetings and save files to cloud storage, all without leaving your email.
Once you have those tasks complete, you can communicate in a social stream on the team wall--not unlike Yammer. You can work with individuals or groups, and team members can be inside or outside the organization, allowing you to bring in freelancers, suppliers or other interested parties who need to be in the loop about the project.
The product brings together all the tasks you would need to manage a project in the cloud in a single, unified interface.
Not surprisingly, Farzin Arsanjani, president of HyperOffice, believes his product is filling a gap in the market. "We believe social collaboration and structured collaboration belong together. The benefits cut both ways--socialization becomes subordinate to productivity, while the silos of collaborative structures are broken," he said.
The idea is to use the team wall with the social communication stream to get news out faster than email would allow. It also has instant messaging capability for those who prefer to use that.
Jenna Balegno, Executive Brand Manager at Canter Companies, an investment company and HyperOffice customer, sees this ability to communicate directly across the team as a huge benefit of the tool. "Our business involves so much back and forth communication between a number of people who might be in various locations. Using email to accomplish these conversations was unproductive and resulted in overloaded inboxes. I am sure everyone can relate to this," she said.
While HyperOffice would have you believe that it's the first to do this. They're not. There are plenty of enterprise social players, many of which work with Outlook, rather than building their own email client, to produce the same result . But that said, if you're looking for a single, cloud-based solution that frees you from using Office products, this is worth looking at.

Nnamdi Asomugha once was asked if he had a favorite quotation.
Patience is a virtue, he said.
It was appropriate considering Asomugha went through his entire career -- high school, college and pro -- and played on only one winning team. It also fit because as the most feared cover corner in the NFL, he spent most Sundays watching quarterbacks throw the ball to the other side of the field. No one dared challenge him.
So Asomugha always seemed to be waiting. Waiting for the opportunity to make a play. Waiting for the chance to play for a winner. Waiting and waiting
In the end, maybe thats what brought him to Philadelphia. By signing with the Eagles on Friday in a move that sent shock waves across the NFL, Asomugha put patience aside and joined a team that is built to win right now.
After playing eight seasons in Oakland, Asomugha finally had his shot at free agency. This was his chance to write his own ticket. Money wasnt the issue, really. He knew he would strike it rich; that was guaranteed. A dozen teams were pursuing him, all with their checkbooks open.
But Asomugha wanted to sign with a team that had a legitimate shot at winning the Super Bowl. He had seen former teammate and fellow cornerback Charles Woodson do it when he left Oakland for Green Bay. Woodson now has a Super Bowl ring to show for it. As he studied the free agent market, Asomugha kept Woodsons example in mind.
Asomugha just turned 30 and he is aware the clock is ticking. If he is going to win a Super Bowl, he had better do it soon. He agreed to a five-year deal with the Eagles, but he is thinking in more immediate terms.
Patience may be a virtue, but there comes a time when you have to put that aside and push your way to the front of the line. Thats what Asomugha has done, signing with a team that will now be among the favorites to win it all in 2011.
The deal was a stunner. Almost no one saw it coming, certainly not the New York Jets. The Jets thought they had the 6-2, 210-pound cornerback locked up. They had visions of pairing him with their All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis and giving coach Rex Ryan the best secondary in football. It would be announced any minute, people said.
Then out of nowhere the Eagles swooped in to sign Asomugha, rocking every NFL war room from New York to San Francisco and leaving Eagles fans slack-jawed asking: Is this for real?
Yes, it is.
Give the Eagles credit. This was like stealing a Picasso from the Museum of Art right before closing time. The Jets are probably right now studying surveillance video trying to spot either Joe Banner or Howie Roseman to figure out how they pulled off this caper.
Why would Asomugha pick the Eagles over the Jets? The Jets went to the AFC title game each of the past two seasons under Ryan. You could make the case they are closer to winning a Super Bowl than the Eagles.
But keep in mind the AFC looks like a tougher road than the NFC. The Jets will have their hands full just getting past New England in their own division. The Jets also have young Mark Sanchez at quarterback while the Eagles have a resurgent Mike Vick coming off his best year. In a quarterback-driven league, the Vick factor looms large.
Both teams will be among the preseason favorites. Asomugha couldnt go wrong either way and whichever team he chose would immediately become that much better. He chose the Eagles. If you are a Philadelphia fan, all you can say is, Wow.
The thought of the Eagles teaming Asomugha with Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and, oh yes, Asante Samuel (almost forgot about him) is mind-boggling. You have to wonder if there is still another shoe to drop in the form of a trade. Can the Eagles afford to tie up that much salary at one position? If the Eagles wanted to move, say, Samuel, it wouldnt be hard to find a taker.
But thats a story for another day.
For now, this is all about Asomugha and what he brings to the team. Much has been said about the University of California product and it is all true. Believe the hype. Asomugha is as good as advertised.
The term shutdown corner is thrown around a lot and often overused. Samuel really isnt a shutdown corner. He makes big plays, but he doesnt take away one side of the field as, say, Revis does or Woodson or Champ Bailey did in his prime. Asomugha can do that. When he covers a receiver, he takes him out of the game.
Quarterbacks rarely throw to his side. According to STATS, Inc., he has allowed only one touchdown pass in the last three seasons. But what really separates him from other guys at his position, Asomugha is physical. He is a strong, solid tackler who will aggressively force the run.
In short, he is a complete player.
During the season, NFL Network analyst Brian Baldinger and I watch a lot of tape. One night, Brian said: You want to see what great cornerback play looks like? He clicked on the computer and there was Nnamdi Asomugha, crouched at the line, arms extended, ready to jam another receiver at the snap of the ball.
Play after play, Asomugha blanketed the receivers, running with them stride for stride, always in perfect position. He didnt trash talk or play to the crowd. He just took care of business. Only one pass was thrown in his direction and he tipped it away.
I could watch this all day, Brian said. It is like a clinic.
This season, Nnamdi Asomugha brings his clinic to Lincoln Financial Field.

Does Counterprogramming Work? 11 David Vs. Goliath Box Office Stories
By Mack Rawden 2 years ago comments
When It Happened: July 6-8, 2012
The Backstory: With Brave opening at the end of June and The Dark Knight Rises opening in mid-to-late July, Savages saw an opportunity to syphon a little money away from a new superhero franchise that wasnt battle-tested. With a premise about marijuana and shared girlfriends, Oliver Stone and company probably thought they would have edginess going for them, and the producers of Katy Perrys documentary probably thought they would have the teenage girl market cornered.
What Happened:
Why It Happened: The Amazing Spider-Man won the weekend in terms of grosses, but the biggest story was actually how incredibly well Ted held up. After swearing its way to more than $50 million in its first weekend, the film held on for more than $30 million. That, coupled with an almost $20 million hold from Brave, forced all of the other flicks to fight over a pie that wasnt nearly as juicy as expected. In the end, The Savages couldnt even break $50 million domestically. Part Of Me made more than half of that, which given their casts, subject matters and budgets, means the former was a disappointment and the latter a raging success.

My beloved Celtics managed another victory over the Lakers last night in game four of the NBA Finals. The Celtics pulled it together in the final minutes of the game, 97-91. We're now only one game away from our 17th NBA Championship.
LA might have lost, but they had the star power at last night's game: David Beckham and Justin Timberlake were among the star in the courtside seats.

Third World Man
Johnny's playroom
Is a bunker filled with sand
He's become a third world man
Smoky Sunday
He's been mobilized since dawn
Now he's crouching on the lawn
He's a third world man
Soon you'll throw down your disguise
We'll see behind those bright eyes
By and by
When the sidewalks are safe
For the little guys
I saw the fireworks
I believed that I was dreaming
Till the neighbours came out screaming
He's a third world man
When he's crying out
I just sing that Ghana Rondo
E'lera del terzo mondo
He's a third world man
