Jokes About Gunning Down Black People
"Incognito and a former Dolphins offensive lineman, who is white, communicated about purchasing guns, apparently for recreational purposes. (We identify this former Dolphin as Player B.) The discussion veered into jokes about shooting black people:
Player B: Especially if u plan living in Arizona in the future, that's exactly what you want
Incognito: Yea. For picking off zombies
Player B: Lol isn't that why we own any weapons!?
Incognito: That and black people
Player B: Mmm def all black ppl
Four days later, Incognito and Player B discussed rifle scopes in text messages.
Player B: Yes. That's a solid optic made specifically for a .308 battle rifle
Incognito: Perfect for shooting black people
Player B: Lol exactly
Player B: Or Jeff Ireland"

I was, is, and will continue to be a Haley supporter. For once we had a young up and coming coach who could call our own instead of getting washed up has beens. I really wished he would have given the offense over to someone else, eased up just a little, and realized you don't have to go for it or be super tricky all of the time.
I don't blame him for the great Palkizy fiasco. He was our backup QB and it was only a couple of games. You don't bench a QB for a rookie after four games. The whole "walking on the field" thing was exactly what I want from a coach. Mike Tomlin does that shit all of the time but no one bitches about him doing it.
Haley showed that he cared about the team. He had fire and guts, something we have been missing in KC for a while. With a better QB and some growing on his own he would have been fine.
I'm pissed we kept Pissioli and fired Haley. Haley hated Cassel and Pissoli loves him that's all that needs to be said.

The Thursday Edition: A Roundup of Newspaper Food Stories
What's the country reading today food-wise? Here's a roundup of some of the food-related stories from other newspapers, many of which print their food sections mid-week. And remember, even if you don't actually buy papers these days (or not; this paper is free), it's where most of your content comes from. Surf away. Just remember that spilling your macchiato over your keyboard is a lot more expensive than spilling it across newsprint.
In the Los Angeles Times, from garden to table with Fig chef Ray Garcia; the American craft beer scene goes global; and 1 1/2 stars for Roy Choi's A-Frame.
The New York Times considers the pepperoni pizza; torrontés, or the next Argentine wine invasion; and a look at expensive sakes ("the Leonard Cohen of drinks") in Las Vegas.
How not to screw up your Super Bowl party; the pros and cons of suing over an olive pit in your sandwich (that would be Dennis Kucinich) from the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
At Chicago Tribune, a look at Carole Bloom's newest book, "Intensely Chocolate: 100 Scrumptious Recipes for True Chocolate Lovers;" and rethinking braising.
Chicken wings for the Super Bowl, regardless of team allegiance; and the Great Corn Bread Debate, at The Boston Globe.

Why Sell Using a Real Estate Agent.
Selling a home can be one of toughest thing for many people because there is a lot that goes into the process. First Home There are two options you have when you decide to sell your home, you will either try to sell it yourself or have a real estate agent do it for you. There is a lot that goes into the process of selling a home, but with the right people by your side, you won't have any problem.
Some people prefer doing it on their own because they think they will save on the commission, but they are always wrong. Pricing a home can be a challenge, but an experienced real estate agent is able to find the best deal because the more the price the more the commission he gets.
Real estate agents have connections that can help them find a buyer within a short period of time. Many people approach these agents when they want to buy a house, making it easier to reach prospective buyers. When you decide to do it on your own, you will begin from zero, and it can be hard to know the right places to look. The people you will manage to meet may not be serious buyers.
The process of selling will involve a lot of prospective buyers coming over and seeing the home. It can be hard to keep up with it, especially if you are busy. A real estate agent can easily make time to show the prospective buyers the home. Maybe the person you failed to show your home could be the one who would have bought it.
There is a lot of paperwork involved in the process and it can be hard to know them. Real estate agents have dealt with similar cases and are in a better position to help you sell your home.

Like the description implies, this is one eyecup. You will need two of them to replace a pair of eyecups for a binocular, of course.

GIBSONTON — During the regular season, Tampa Bay Tech had handled Durant relatively easy with two blowout wins.
So when the Titans found themselves trailing 12-8 after the first quarter Saturday, Reggie Lawrence replaced the starters with his bench. The reserves responded with a 10-2 run to help turn the game back in Tampa Bay Tech's favor as the Titans rolled to a 49-40 win to capture the Class 5A, District 8 title.
"It's hard to beat a team three times and (Durant) was fired up," Lawrence said. "My bench came in and helped turn the tide. Dasia Christopher gave us that spark on the offensive side and defensive end, and the starters answered the bell once they re-entered the game."
While Christopher scored just four points, her steals and defensive pressure changed the momentum for the Titans (22-3) in the decisive second quarter, in which they outscored Durant 18-7.
"We were struggling there for a bit and (the reserves) showed us the effort that we knew we had to give," said senior center Jasmine Rodriguez, who scored 10 points and had 11 rebounds. "We wanted to win districts really bad, not just for pride's sake but so we could keep home-court advantage for a while (in the region playoffs)."
The Titans had to contend with an 11-3 run between the third and fourth quarters that saw the Cougars (10-8) pull within 36-35 on two free throws by Taylor Broadnax, who scored a game-high 15 points. But a free throw by Deondria Reeves, a fastbreak layup by Christopher and a turnaround jumper by Rodriguez gave the Titans a six-point lead, and the Cougars did not get within five the rest of the game.
Courtney Jenkins led the Titans with 12 points.

Garden ideas – something for the weekend!
by Sean O'Connell • August 3, 2010 • Best of the rest • 4 Comments
Anyone seen the July issue of Ideal Home? Ahem, ok, to rephrase, anyone looking to create a STUNNING garden to relax in allllllllll weekend long? Ah ha, now you've perked up!!
Here's how to create this … I'm going to say MAGICAL … outdoor space in just 5 easy steps.
1) Find a quiet corner of the garden and finally put it to use (or in my tiny garden's case, transform the ENTIRE space).
2) Revamp old furniture with a coat of varnish and pretty cushions. Go for natural linens and cottons in greys, beiges and whites. Team with dark wood furniture for an exotic feel.
3) Make it easy to set up. Nothing says 'it's winter again' like your newly updated garden furniture withering in the rain – choose folding furniture so you can stash it away.
4) Add plenty of shade. I adore this exotic Indian parasol from The White Company… enough to use as a regular umbrella.
5) Grab book, grab cocktail and LAZE!

Many fans expected the Temple Basketball team to be celebrating Senior Night (aka Dalton Pepper Night) after a win over Central Florida. Not many fans expected the Owls to be celebrating just their eighth win of the season that night.
But hey, a win is a win right?
It was another poor (very poor) defensive effort from the Owls, and it took overtime to decide a victor, but Temple knocked off the UCF Golden Knights 86-78 on Tuesday night.
Offensively, Temple may have had their best game all season. Anthony Lee posted his 11th double-double of the year putting up 20 points and 10 boards. Pepper scored a game high 26 points on his senior night. Will Cummings added 23 points giving the Owls three scores of 20 or more, the second time the Cherry and White have done that this season.
Free throws were the real story of the game for the Owls, though. Temple shot almost 85% from the charity stripe Tuesday. The Owls average about 71% from the line this season, so they stepped up in hopes of getting the Levittown, PA native the win on his Senior Night.
The game was tight from the start. Neither team had more than a six point lead in the first half. Temple looked like they were going into the half up six before Philadelphia native Calvin Newell banked in a three at the buzzer.
Newell's friends and family were in attendance and he put on a show for them. Newell was five for eight behind the arc and totaled 23 points, a team high.
The Knights hit seven threes in the first half, highlighting Temple's defensive struggles.
The Owls went on a 10-0 run early in the second half, including threes from Pepper and Mark Williams, to give Temple an 11 point lead. UCF came storming back behind two trey balls from Matt Williams, bringing the Knights within one halfway through the second.
The game was tied at 68 after four different lead changes throughout the final 10 minutes. Lee made a layup with 1:14 to go in the game, to give Temple a two point lead.
There was no scoring from then until UCF had the ball with the shot clock off in crunch time. Newell drove the lane and was fouled by Cummings with five seconds left on the clock and the Knights in the double bonus.
That is the type of basketball Temple has played all year. Newell hit both free throws and sent the game to overtime.
When I said free throws were the story of the game for the Owls, overtime showed why. Temple scored 16 points in overtime and 12 of the points were free throws. The Owls went 12-13 from the line in OT. They also stepped up their defense a bit it seemed, as UCF shot just 25% from the field in the extra time.
Despite the win, the Owls still continued to struggle from three, shooting 27% for the game. Pepper went three for 11 from behind the arc as his three point woes continued.
If Temple wants to compete in the conference tournament, they need to shoot at least 15% better from behind the arc. If the Owls do that and play better defensively, maybe they can surprise some people by making a run in the American Athletic Conference tournament.
Before that, the Owls look to get back to back wins for (sigh) just the second time this season as they head to Tampa to take on South Florida this Saturday in the regular season finale.


text: After several years of producing flight plans by hand using Notebook I am learning quickly how much faster and more accurately I can produce plans for customized GA traffic using this great software. I have several questions the first of which I will put into this thread. I've noticed that upon saving my flight plans the longitude designator gets changed from W (all my airports are in the Western Hempisphere) to S in the Airportxx.txt file. The Airportxx.txt file is fine when I decompile the traffic file via TTools. What I've had to do is save a copy of my Airport_XX.txt file before bringing up AI Flight Planner so that I don't have to manually change them all back. I then compile the flight plans through TTools. If I don't change all the S's back to W's TTools rejects the Airport file and will not compile the data. Once I change the longitude designator to W, TTools compiles the plans normally and they work fine. I use FS9 and am using the latest AI Flight Planner that I just downloaded and updated this past weekend (1.6.02). I store my Aircraft, Airport, and FlightPlan files in a directory other than where I installed AI Flight Planner. Any thoughts on what is causing this?

Exuberant chanting and thrilled screams echoed through campus late last night and into the early hours of Wednesday morning as hundreds of students marched through campus in celebration of Barack Obama's presidential victory.
The crowd cheered, "Yes, we did," "O-B-A-M-A," "Barack the vote" and "No more Bush" as it stormed through Dickinson Community around 1 a.m.
Fireworks set off near Dickinson shortly before midnight were said to be the onset of the rally by some students, while others said the movement initiated in College in the Woods and Hinman.
Officer Mark Silverio of Binghamton University's New York State University Police said the march started between Newing and Dickinson communities, and headed down West Drive towards CIW, Mountainview College, and the Union. The crowd, which reached more than 500 students at one point, circled the route again as more students joined, he said.
At one point a stampede of students moved through the New University Union towards Dickinson. The revelers banged on railings, laughed and sprinted ahead of others as they chanted.
"I just heard people walking through Hinman. When they came back around they had eight times as many people," Sterling Timberlake-Brown, a junior majoring in biology, said.
Another student said he joined the crusade near Mountainview College.
"We joined the rally because we believe that we can!" Michael Longo, a junior managing in global management, said. "This is a sign of us as college students, of us as a new generation taking charge."
When asked why so many students had come out to the rally, one student yelled, "Because we give a fuck!"
One student said the inspiration of the election really hit home.
"I didn't think it was possible," Ketiwe Boahene, a sophomore majoring in psychology said. "I thought, 'History is going to repeat itself.' But they actually gave [Obama] a chance … If people accept him and he's so different from the norm of what a president is, that touches me."
Upon reaching Dickinson, a group of six to seven individuals climbed atop The Object in Dickinson, as hundreds of students circled the sculpture and continued chanting.
"I think it's awesome, everyone's excited, I feel the adrenaline," said Matthew Eng, a sophomore majoring in biology.
Silverio said that as long as the students did not impede traffic or damage property, UPD had no reason to interrupt.
By about 1:20 a.m. the march began to die out between C.I.W. and Mountainview as students dispersed around the Brain.

THIS was a case of job done for Partick Thistle.
A scan down the League Cup fixture card could have seen this game circled as a one to watch in terms of an upset, but there was to be no giant-killing in Greenock.
Kris Doolan's goal on the stroke of half-time was all that separated Thistle and Morton at Cappielow, but it was enough for Alan Archibald's side, who will take their place in the third-round draw today.
There will be more important battles to be fought for the Jags this season, but a cup run would be a welcome addition to their CV and the first hurdle was negotiated safely against familiar old foes.
The fortunes of these two have contrasted significantly since their last meeting in the First Division two seasons ago, with Thistle now setting their sights on the Premiership top six and Morton looking to bounce back to the second tier under boss Jim Duffy.
The two-division gap was not always evident last night, however, as the Jags didn't hammer home their superiority in a competitive affair.
After turning in a low-key performance against Hamilton at the weekend as they suffered their first Premiership defeat, Archibald's side had a point to prove at Cappielow.
But Thistle once again failed to find their stride, a couple of strikes from Steven Lawless and a Conrad Balatoni header the most they could muster early on as they struggled to find any rhythm in the final third.
Cup success is far from the top priority for the Ton this term as they bid for the League One crown, but they would have fancied their chances of taking a scalp as they did well against a strong Thistle side.
If you are to upset the odds, you have to take your chances when they come along and that was to prove the Ton's downfall, with striker Stefan McCluskey their main culprit.
He should have hit the net either side of the break, but first he headed wide from a Reece Hands free-kick and then, with only Jags keeper Paul Gallacher to beat, he put his shot wide after capitalising on a Balatoni error.
In between, Doolan had shown how it should be done. The Firhill forward had seen just 30 minutes of action before the trip to Greenock but marked his first start of the campaign with a goal, a neat touch and clinical finish giving Archibald's side the lead on the stroke of half-time.
It was an advantage that should have been doubled just after the restart when Kallum Higginbotham collected a Stephen O'Donnell cross but keeper Nicolas Caraux pulled off a superb point-blank save to keep Morton in it.
After spurning two glorious chances, McCluskey was left frustrated for a third time of the night 20 minutes from time when the former Clyde star was booked for diving in the box by ref Stephen Finnie.
It was a call that infuriated the Ton faithful, but Gallacher was equally as unhappy, the two squaring up after McCluskey went to ground as he tried to get on the end of a Declan McManus header.
And, with that, Morton's chance was gone. Duffy and his side can take the positives, but it was Thistle who took the plaudits and a place in the hat.

As a 21-year-old college student, I was looking for the truth and ecstatic to hear the gospel message from the missionaries. I accepted the message slowly but wholeheartedly. I joined the Church, but I was the only member of my family to do so.
After being a member of the Church for about one year, I realized my testimony was growing stronger every day, but something was missing. I didn't know that I was a child of God.
It was true that I had accepted God as the Father of all. I had not, however, realized how intimately He knows each of His creations. "With all that there is in this world," I asked myself, "how could He possibly know me personally? How could He consider me His daughter? How could He love me as His child?"
It was with these questions in mind that I turned to Heavenly Father in prayer. Shortly after, during scripture study, I stumbled across 1 Chronicles 28:9. King David told his son, "Thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever."
No other verse of scripture has brought me closer to my Father in Heaven than this one. It testified to me not only that I am a daughter of God but that if I seek Him, I can find Him. It testified to me of my divine nature. I had not, in my heart, been fully converted to the idea that I was a child of God. I had hoped that these things were true but couldn't grasp the knowledge of such a loving Father in Heaven. I couldn't fathom a Being who could know my innermost thoughts and aspirations. I couldn't accept His love, knowing my shortcomings and the many mistakes I had made.
The scripture taught me many things. First, David, who had made many mistakes of his own, counsels his son Solomon to seek the Lord and serve Him with full purpose. By this Solomon can find the Lord. Reading these words awakened in me a strong desire to develop a personal relationship with my Father in Heaven. I was learning more about Heavenly Father's loving ways. I knew that, like David and Solomon, I could be found of Him. Our relationship was growing. This scripture gave me a formula to live by, and I found it to be true.
I discovered that Heavenly Father knows me personally. I continued to study this scripture until the phrase "the Lord searcheth all hearts" was embedded in my mind. Each time I read it, the Holy Ghost whispered to my heart that Heavenly Father knows everything, even "all the imaginations of the thoughts." I knew that He was not just my Creator but that He was my loving Father and I was His beloved child. I had finally come to accept that He knows me. He knows my private thoughts, aspirations, dreams, desires, fears, intents, and, of greatest importance to me, my imaginations. He knows me as my parents here on earth know me but even more so. It was with these insights that I gained a testimony that I am a child of God.
Beloved Daughters of Heavenly Father
"On the first page of your Young Women Personal Progress book, you will find these words: 'You are a beloved daughter of Heavenly Father, prepared to come to the earth at this particular time for a sacred and glorious purpose' [(booklet, 2009), 1].
"Sisters, those words are true! They are not made up in a fairy tale! Isn't it remarkable to know that our eternal Heavenly Father knows you, hears you, watches over you, and loves you with an infinite love? In fact, His love for you is so great that He has granted you this earthly life as a precious gift of 'once upon a time,' complete with your own true story of adventure, trial, and opportunities for greatness, nobility, courage, and love. And, most glorious of all, He offers you a gift beyond price and comprehension. Heavenly Father offers to you the greatest gift of all–eternal life–and the opportunity and infinite blessing of your own 'happily ever after.'
"But such a blessing does not come without a price. It is not given simply because you desire it. It comes only through understanding who you are and what you must become in order to be worthy of such a gift."
President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Second Counselor in the First Presidency, "Your Happily Ever After," Ensign and Liahona, May 2010, 124–25.

As an amateur I am interested in your experiences in making drinking chocolate with cocoa powder. I now have at home Slitti, Valrhona and Droste (Dutch brand), but I haven't had the ultimate experience yet.
As posted under the Max Brenner-topic; I'm in heaven when drinking the Viennese Demel's hot chocolate. So far I've only reached next to heaven at home, and melted chocolate doesn't seem to make the big difference compared to cocoa powder.
Anyone with recommendations for
1) which is the best brand of cocoa powder
2) whether to dissolve the powder (and sugar) in boiling water or boiling milk
3) whether or not to boil the milk or keep it below 70 C
4) whether to use skimmed milk, semi-fat or fat milk
5) whether to use brown (cane of course) sugar or white sugar
6) the ultimate amount of sugar to make it sweet without killing the chocolate taste (I know sweetness is a subjective matter, but anyway ...)
7) whether or not to add chili pepper (I use to use a flake of dried red chili - don't know if it really makes a difference except when I add to much ...!)
8) and of course how many teaspoons of cocoa powder for how much milk (I have discovered that some brands are best if not too strong and vice versa).
Meanwhile, I'll do empirical systematic studies at my home kitchen laboratory ...
"Man cannot live by chocolate alone - but woman can." (Unknown)
I started this very topic a few months ago that you may find interesting. It's all in what you like, really. In mine, I use:
1 Cup Water
1/3 Cup Coffee
Three Tablespoons Cocoa Powder
Two Teapoons Brown Sugar
A Pinch of Cayenne
Boil the liquids... Mix the dry ingredients with a fork... Pour liquids on powder while blending with a fork.
I don't like milk in mine because I don't like the rich-milky taste it gives it. If you do use milk, It will make it creamier, so the amount of fat in the milk will determine how creamy it is. You might even consider heavy cream if you don't care about keeping fat and calories in balance. I use coffee and brown sugar to give it a deeper flavor than if I used normal sugar and all water. The pinch of cayenne will leave a tingle in the mouth. It's not a spicey sensation at all. It just kind of warms you more. I use normal cocoa powder, so it's rather gritty because it doesn't disolve, but that's find with me. I've never tried dutch-processed, but it will disolve much better than the stuff that I use. As Mont reccomended to me, you might want to actually melt one of your bars down with milk or water to get the best chocolate drink. I don't do that because it seems like a waste to me.

I have to agree that the best hot chocolate I've ever had was made just with chocolate and milk, and maybe added sugar. Valrhona Manjari is good for this.

Thanks for the tip about using Manjari from Valrhona 🙂 That _was_ in fact next to heaven when properly melted added into a small amount of boiling milk, then mixed with milk at approx 70 C. I also added a tiny amount of brown sugar. Fat level in the milk is really a matter of taste. I have tried to add a small amount of vanilla and red chili but without much difference. So far my favorite recipe!

I have a history of Dysplastic Nevi with 3 biopsies 3yrs ago (precancerous w/subsequent excisions). At today's full body check they did 4 more & I have to go back in 2 wks another 5. Four months ago i noticed a scaley slightly sore/itchy light brown spot on back. It was biopsied today since it was still scaly & darker brown. During this biopsy I heard Dr tell nurse "there is something in this one" I felt pushing and proding and i can tell this went way deeper all the others. Should I worry?

It's good you get checked often so congratulations on that - and keeping an eye on things that seem like they may be growing or changing. "There is something in this one" is by no means a clinical statement or diagnosis. You should not worry until the pathology report comes back and a full diagnosis can be given.

ComputerWorld reported late last week that a server at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine at Chapel Hill was discovered in late July to have been hacked into, and that the social security numbers of 163,000 women participating in a UNC medical study were at risk.
The women were part of a National Institutes of Health funded mammography research project called the Carolina Mammography Registry. The hacked server contained the records of a total 231,000 women, but some 68,000 did not have their social security numbers as part of their records.
According to a story in today's The Daily Tar Heel, the UNC paper, the Carolina Mammography Registry "is a multi-site data collection network that tracks trends in breast cancer detection. It collects information from 31 locations across the state and analyzes them."
The Tar Heel also says that the hacked server was where research data was uploaded, and that it was not located behind a firewall. The records of another 400,000 women in the mammography study, however, were behind the firewall and were not breached.
UNC officials, who are notifying the women who did and did not have their social security numbers exposed say they are now looking for another way to transit study data.
And of course, they "sincerely" apologized for the security breach.
At least they didn't add the trite phrase that they took security seriously.

Unlike other volunteer program providers we offer volunteer projects only in India and of-course we are good at it. We currently offer projects across 5 cities in India and deliberately have kept ourselves away from the big cities of Delhi, Mumbai etc. The real, raw India no longer lives in the metros but in the small cultural hubs like Dharamsala, Kannur and that's where our volunteer projects are based. We can offer you a set project or given your individual goals, can assist you in developing your own personal mesmerizing volunteer experience. Apart from volunteering projects we also offer Vagabond tours which are aimed at offering volunteers a safe and trustworthy way to see the more touristy side of India like Agra, Delhi.

I am always amazed when I sit and think of the many words we used to use that we don't often hear anymore. The fact is though that many times they conveyed our thoughts and feelings far better than anything we can think of today.
We used to say, "he or she has the heebeejeebies." Translation: They are extremely nervous, or easily frightened.
"Her husband is henpecked." She rules the roost, and that's nothing to crow about.
"Not worth a Continental." Goes back to the early days of our nation, when the money printed by the government wasn't worth a centavo, or more often said to be not worth a hoot.
We would often say, when everything was OK, that it was "hunky dory." I don't know why two words were better than one.
There was always some acquaintance that was "highfalutin." Someone who thought of themselves more highly than they ought to have. A snob, or better yet, "stuck up," and I don't mean mired in the mud, but conceited or vain.
Then there was the "hobo." Commonly used to describe a vagrant or tramp, a wanderer or idler, a bum and worse names. Someone who likes to think of himself as a world traveler, but never buys a ticket.
"Homesick." Not really a sickness, but a longing for home when away. I can attest to such a malady. When in the armed forces during WWII and gone for long periods of time, I had a longing to see the folks back home. No medicine will suffice except a return ticket back home.
"Hoe" A long handled tool made for cutting weeds or digging in the soil. Let me tell you, it can get the job done, but it takes a lot of old time "elbow grease" on the handle. How well I remember digging the crab grass out of the little cotton plants on a hot summer day. Whew, that was one hot job. Just as bad is to weed your flower bed or vegetable garden.
"Hogwash." Hang around a braggart and you will get a lot of this. It refers to the swill or kitchen refuse fed to the hogs, but also applies to some outlandish claim or story that someone may tell.
"Home brew." A beer that people used to make at home. I remember one of my brothers made a batch and hid it from Mom and Dad by burying it in the garden. One of the dogs dug it up and his crime was exposed.
"Hornswoggle." To cheat, trick or deceive. A word we used to hear in the Westerns. "Old Josh got hornswoggled on the horse trade." Simply put Josh got cheated because he was not a good judge of horses and traded his good one for a broken down old nag. I like the sound of the word, but it was a dirty word in the old wild west, cause those were fighting words. To get hornswoggled was enough to start a gun battle.
"Curmudgeon." I like this word, curmudgeon. Looked all over the dictionary to find it. A mean, grasping, miserly person. Someone not very likeable.
"Hot foot." To light a match between the sole and upper part of a sleeping man's shoe as a prank. Believe me, it hurts and will rouse the sleeper with a roar. It was often done to young recruits in the army. A prank of sadist soldiers. It also means to hurry as in get moving, or hot foot it out of here.
Some of the younger folk may not have heard of these old words, but I'll bet there are many of you older folk out there who can relate to them, as they were commonly used back in the good old days.

This book won't release until October. Still, my own excitement keeps me from holding off on a post until a firm date is revealed. Edited by Jay Satterfield, Winter Carnival: A Century of Dartmouth Posters simply celebrates a century of graphic design related to the College's famed seasonal bash.
Words from the publisher, University of New England Press –
Avidly collected and fetching high prices at auction, the Dartmouth Winter Carnival poster is a treasured and tangible artifact of one of the College's most cherished traditions. Here, presented for the first time, is Dartmouth College Library's definitive collection of Winter Carnival posters from 1911 to 2010, celebrating Dartmouth's seasonal bacchanal, sports fest, and social daze. In addition to their merit as markers of changing taste in graphic arts, the posters offer a fascinating glimpse into a century of intense cultural and institutional development. As a sustained collection the posters are nearly unrivaled, to the envy of ephemera collectors. Everything is here, from the high-end, design-informed style of the early years to the pop-culture and annual-theme inspired posters of more recent years. A constant element is the effervescence of those Dartmouth days, tinged with the glow of nostalgia: youth, energy, sex, sports, camaraderie, and dragons.
This colorful and memory-evoking volume also includes a catalogue raisonné giving poster dimensions, artists' names, and other relevant information; charming artistic ephemera (dance cards and programs) from the missing (posterless?) years of 1912 to 1934; and rare photos of the poster selection process. In addition, the book includes an illustrated essay retelling the story of Budd Schulberg and F. Scott Fitzgerald's notorious trip to Winter Carnival; an essay about the art of the posters by noted graphic arts scholar Steven Heller; and a poignant piece by alumna and cultural observer Gina Barreca (class of '79) remembering the posters and the Winter Carnival experience from a student's point of view. This is a wonderful book for alumni, collectors of posters and ski posters, and anyone who has ever been touched by the magic of Winter Carnival.
Available for pre-order from Amazon.

We were visiting friends, and my son was "acting up." The truth was, I was very uncomfortable visiting with these friends who didn't have children, who didn't know how to interact with them, and who presented some conversational challenges to me.
With more anger than was necessary, I told my son to "sit on the step" and think about what he had done (something so trivial, I can't even remember). He looked up at me with tears welling in his eyes, "Okay Mom," he said, "but remember, I am only 2."
It was really my first conscious Mussar lesson — learning how responsible I am for the way my actions affect the others in my life.
My actions, my speech, can cause pain to those I love. I was responsible for creating pain for someone who was almost as close to me as my very own soul. Why? Probably he had done something that he shouldn't have. But that wasn't the cause of my overreaction. In truth, my overreaction was because I was experiencing discomfort in a social setting I didn't know how to handle. And I simply, and unconsciously, took it out on him.
I had spent years at that point believing the proverbial wisdom of the 60's: "Let it all hang out." "When you're angry, express yourself." I had been raised in a family that was a place that allowed you to be your worst self. As family, we were all supposed to be totally accepting of each other; especially, the very worst of each other.
It's a philosophy, and one that was meant to give us security — that we could still be loved even at our worst. It just wasn't the philosophy that I wanted to use in raising my own children. I wanted my kids to understand their responsibility for each other and the need to be their kindest to each other. But I really needed to do some of my own work, to not only share that philosophy but to live it.
I discovered and started to study Mussar at Temple Beth Zion-Beth Israel with Rabbi Ira F. Stone by divine accident as I was making a move from Merion to Center City. Over the years, as a member of Congregation Beth Am Israel in Penn Valley, I had become more appreciative of Jewish ritual, but even more than that, I had engaged in and experienced a deep spiritual connection to a personal God.
These beliefs and personal experiences led me to feel that my journey needed to continue; that to fulfill my own duty to God, I needed to move beyond a personal appreciation and actively engage in a responsibility for the broader communal good. I needed to stop thinking only about my own experiences and start reaching outward.
Mussar takes the study of Torah, the thinking, the discussion, the intellectual inquisitiveness, and my own spiritual direction and brings it down to an everyday reality, asking the question: "How do I behave toward the other?"
There is a midrash that says that when you get to heaven, the first question you are asked is "How were you in business?" and the second question is "Did you study Torah?" This isn't a question of profit or loss. It is a question of how you lived as a human being, how you treated others, how you were when your ego confronts your humanity.
That is Mussar. It is not a head-in-the-clouds practice. It is a practice which again and again confronts you with your own ego, your own lack of discernment, in a way that creates awareness, strips away self-deception and asks you to be accountable. And to always consider the others. Even in the midst of the most dynamic business discussions — where I was responsible for convincing an unconvinced boardroom of the rightness of my client's side — I had to stop and listen, to truly hear the voices of the others in that room.
Mussar is not for the lighthearted. Sometimes, I actually refer to it as the "spiritual marines." It is a daily discipline of mindfulness, purposefulness and other-ness. It requires thinking about and carrying responsibility for deeply understanding those who are your significant others, the ones who are closest to you, in ways that puts their needs, their pain, their burdens paramount. This world — my world — no longer has me at the center.
Mussar has given me the tools to control the way I act. I'm not my mind. I am not my emotions. I don't need to come from a point of protection of my ego. At every moment, I can choose to act with lovingkindness, with a deeper understanding of those closest to me. Every day, I continue to pray for the ability to just do that.

Stone Brothers Racing (SBR) preview
Stone Brothers Racing (SBR) has emerged from the fourth and final practice session at Sandown International Raceway this afternoon buoyed by a fantastic result – three of its Falcons in the top five.
Tim Slade in the #47 Lucky 7 Racing Falcon was the quickest of SBR's drivers today, posting the session's second fastest time behind Mark Winterbottom. Slade was also quick in his first session and is confident of a good weekend ahead.
Piloting the #9 SP Tools Racing Falcon, Shane van Gisbergen finished the day fourth quickest and believes there is still more to come from himself and his machine in qualifying tomorrow. With the threat of substantial rain tomorrow, 'The Giz' might be one to watch if the Sandown circuit becomes even slipperier than it already is on the soft tyre.
Alex Davison in the #4 IRWIN Racing Falcon rounded out the top five for SBR today, and was pleased with the development of his car which saw him jump 16 places up the grid between the two sessions.
The SBR Falcons will return to the track tomorrow morning at 11.15am for qualifying, followed by race one (39 laps/120km) at 4.05pm.
Tim Slade – Driver, Lucky 7 Racing Car #47
"I've said it before, but my Friday Championship is looking pretty strong. Jokes aside, we've struggled with one particular thing since QR (Queensland Raceway) but we seem to be on top of it this weekend. The car was good out of the truck which makes a big difference. Our performance today is a testament to the hard work our crew put in especially after a tough few rounds recently. Hopefully we can translate today's speed into a good qualifying result tomorrow. This is our best chance since QR so we'll be throwing everything at it."
The first session today we just worked on our race set up
Shane van Gisbergen – Driver, SP Tools Racing Car #9
"The first session today we just worked on our race set up and then qualifying for session two. The car was probably not as good as the time sheets reflected but we're in the ballpark now and should be able to fine tune a few things for a strong qualifying performance."
Alex Davison – Driver, IRWIN Racing Car #4
"We started the day struggling a bit with the overall balance of the car but we had a look at Tim's data between sessions and learnt a few things which really helped. We recovered really well which is promising and by the end of the session we were on song."

For hours, Daniel Abiodun was lurked in a deep despair, as he peaces restlessly at the maternity ward in a Lagos hospital. Like a flash, series of event race through his troubled mind as he waits impatiently for his wife who was wheeled into the ward.
At the middle of his endless thought came the news from the Nurse, Harry! It's a bouncing baby girl.
Daniel who was lost in wondering contemplation, unconsciously screamed, girl again?
That was the kind of empathy Africans have towards the male child. But ironically, recent development has shown that the male child only turned out to be a blessing most family household will live to pray for.
All over the world, women are beginning to make indelible impressions in virtually every spectrum of human endeavours, ranging from politics, economy and even social life.
In most countries in Europe including the United States of America, women betides both the political and social scenes like a colossus. The likes of Hilary Clinton, Condolus Rice former Foreign Affairs Secretary of States of the USA, Margret Thatcher, the iron lady of Great Britain to mention but a few. In the Asian countries, women have gone beyond the post of ministers to becoming President.
In Africa, the story is near the same but this discriminatory traditions that seems to lock them out of the political space.
In Nigeria, our women now engage the men in healthy competition in virtually every aspects of our national live. From the political space to the boardroom, the Nigerian women have made parents of the girl child to be proud.
Inn the banking industry, the Nigerian women have recorded tremendous success just as they did in politics. The likes of Senator Florence Ita Giwa, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the Petroleum Minister, Mrs Maduaeke and others too numerous to mention.
Perhaps, it was against this discriminatory traditional stance on women, that government of most African countries including the developed ones, now opted to reserve not less than 35% for women in government.
For most government all over the world, it has become a campaign issue. But for Nigerians, this is mere widow dressing as the exclusive place for women inn government must be enshrined inn the nation's legal book if the government must be taken seriously.
There is no gainsaying that the Nigerian women, and indeed African women have come of age. However, available evidence abound to show that they are no more the home keepers but home grown to become women of substance.
I married a second wife for the sake of a male child – Pa Mike Odafe
Years after a blissful marital life with my first wife, I took a decision that caused much. We were blessed with a female child.
Earnestly, I was quite comfortable and happy with my family size. Things worked perfectly as God had arranged them. But this arrangement did not go down well with my kinsmen. They thought otherwise of my family's position.
After a shot spell of time, I gave in to their mounting pressure of marrying a second wife for the sake of male child. Well, as God would have it, the second wife gave me my first male child. The boy is big now and precisely doing fine.
However, in the society where I come from, preference is given to male children as against the female. Coincidentally, experience has shown that female children are even more interested in their father's upkeep when age starts weighing down on one.
Then the male child will be more preoccupied with his immediate family's responsibilities.
Every African man wants to bequeath his assets to a male child. It is all about continuity of the man's lineage, something to be remembered for when he passes to the wold beyond.
Though, I quite appreciate the essence of this sentiment as expressed by African tradition on the male child. However, I must admit that there are imminent dangers that lurk around this quest for a male child.
In my case, I'm a Catholic by faith, and the acquisition of a second wife has denied me the privilege of receiving the Holy Communion. By extension therefore, I'm no longer a communicant.
But I still hold dearly to the Catholic faith. I believe, the arrangement is God's design and I've since accepted it in good faith.
I advise the younger generation, especially prospective fathers to accept any child as a bundle of gift from God. By so doing, God can spring surprises when you least expect.
How the female child comes
Medical expects say that the male sperm contains tiny thread-like structures called chromosomes. The fertilised egg contains 46 chromosomes with 23 each from both parents.
The sex chromosomes from the mother's egg is always the same and is tagged X-chromosome.
On the other hand, the sex chromosome from the father's sperm may be an 'X' or 'Y' chromosome. By implication therefore, the husband determines the baby's sex as he solely posses the XY chromosomes. Therefore, if the egg of the mother is fertilised by a 'Chromosome, the baby becomes a boy carrying an 'XY' chromosomes.
Conversely, if the egg is fertilised by an 'X' chromosome, the baby invariably becomes a female child.
Apart from determining the sex, the X and Y chromosomes in the fertilised egg dictate the baby's inherited traits, with each chromosome carrying about two thousand genes which are responsible for such physical characteristics as the baby's height, built, hair, blood group and eye colour. Hence, it is possible for children to look like or bear resemblance with either of the parents.
Also, the gene is affected by other physical attributes as the environment and how a child is brought up influence features as personality and intelligence.
However, experts disclosed that parents have chance of knowing the baby's sex before birth through scientific method, in the amniocentesis method – a special tube is passed through the oval of the abdomen into the amniotic fluid which surrounds the baby in the womb, a sample of the fluid is drawn out and tested.
An ultrasound scan is another method of knowing the baby's sex before birth.

Ivan will teach you a lessonIvan | Fri, 2004-09-17 08:02
Hurricane Ivan that is. This natural disaster besides reminding us how uncertain life is, also reminds us about the most important theory of graphic design.
Fibonacci in 1202 came up with a series of numbers, which lead to the famous Phi number and the golden mean. Understanding this theory gives the designer godlike powers. Ok, not really, but it will help you understand the underlying principles of nature and beauty.
Everything in our universe, such as the shape of hurricanes, the way the trees grow, the way the petals are arranged in a flower and even the structure of the human skeleton are all arranged by the golden means. It also describes the reproduction cycle of rabbits, but that's beyond the scope of our theme here. :)
If we take the ratio of two successive numbers in Fibonacci's series, (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55,..) and we divide each by the number before it, we will find the following series of numbers: 1/1=1, 2/1=2, 3/2=1.5, 5/3=1.666..., 8/5=1.6, 13/8=1.625, 21/13=1.61538... The ratio seems to be settling down to a particular value, which we call the golden ratio or the golden number Phi. It has a value of approximately 1.618034. (Not to be confused with another famous number Pi, which is 3.1415...)
You can simply recreate the Fibonacci numbers if we start with two small squares of size 1 next to each other. On top of both of these draw a square of size 2 (=1+1) and so on. You can draw a spiral in the squares, a quarter of a circle in each square. The spiral is not a true mathematical spiral but it is a good approximation to a kind of spiral that does appear often in nature. Learn more.
It's not a coincidence why business cards sized 8x5 cm look pleasant to the eye. It's because the proportions are similar to everything in nature, that we are used to for the past hundred thousand years. You'll be reminded about this important guiding principle everywhere in nature, art and design. For example Robert Bringhurst refers a lot to the golden mean in his must read book The Elements of Typographic Style. Keep Ivan on your desktop and next time you do a layout think of the golden ratio.

Good post. It was nice to get a refresher of this stuff, it's been a few years since I was taught it in school, and it truly is useful to keep in mind.
Kind regards,
Michael Heilemann
i would rather say it' 9x5 cms
i've recently posted a post abt Fibonacci.
take a look >
Ivan, I see that you liked the da Vinci code ;)
I read it last week following your advice
This reminds me of a play I saw recently. Tom Stoppard's Arcadia. For more details on this play visit this site http://math.bu.edu/DYSYS/arcadia/
The subject and concept covered is way too involved and long for a comment post.
Thank you, Ivan for that reminder. I think all of us as designers, either need to be reminded of the Golden Mean or taught from scratch. I remember watching the movie "DaVinci Code," I was so excited to see in the movie while he was explaining the Fibonacci sequence in the beginning—I thought, my God, that's the ONLY thing I remember from my math class. Let's keep in mind, I almost didn't graduate college because of math and surprisingly, the Fibonacci sequence was the ONLY thing I remembered.

"Pieta" marks the 18th film from Korean auteur and agitator Kim Ki Duk, following up on his exceptionally personal and enjoyably bizarre 2011 Cannes winning documentary "Arirang", which he made as part of a 3 year self-imposed exile from the industry. The film sees Kim returning to the same grim territory in which he made his name, dealing with violence, perversion, anger and angst in a harsh tale of a brutal loan shark and a woman claiming to be his mother. With Lee Jung Jin ("Troubleshooter") and Jo Min Su in the lead roles, the latter taking Best Actress at the Daejong Film Awards for her performance, the film saw Kim continuing his prize winning streak, picking up the prestigious Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, being the first Korean production to have done so.
Lee Jung Jin plays Kang Do, a particularly unpleasant debt collector, who makes money by crippling his debtors and cashing in on their insurance payouts, seeming to take pleasure in the pain and suffering he causes. His life is thrown into turmoil when one day a woman (Jo Min Su) turns up at his door, claiming that she is the mother who abandoned him as a child. Understandably suspicious and tormented, Kang subjects her to a variety of punishments to try and call her bluff, but gradually comes round to the idea that she might be telling the truth. As her unconditional love slowly seeps through into his heart and opens his eyes to the world, he starts to become paranoid that one of his victims is planning vengeance.
"Pieta" really does see Kim returning to his roots, taking place against a squalid background of dirty alleyways, rundown shacks and cramped machine shops, and exploring themes of loneliness, self-abuse and hatred. Given its mother-son subject matter, the film unsurprisingly plays out very much like an especially bleak and tense Greek tragedy, its drama hard hitting and harsh throughout, and much more grounded and depressingly human than in some of Kim's recent outings like "Dream" or "Breath". Through this, it works very well as a revenge drama of sorts, with a mid-film twist which though predictable is used expertly by Kim to dig even deeper and heap on even more agony. Though reasonably straightforward in narrative terms (at least by his own standards), the film is still ambiguous and at times abstract, Kim as usual leaving the viewer to make up their own mind on his use of religious imagery and capitalist metaphor. Although none of this is anything new for those familiar with the director's works, the film feels fresh and more mature, Kim seeming to have been blessed with renewed vigour following his exile.
Where the film really hits home is through the depth of its characters, with both Kang and his mother being rich and multi-layered characters, Kim fleshing them out subtly and through small details in their behaviour rather than manipulative back stories or exposition. There's a lot left unsaid and for the viewer to discern, and this adds to the tension and to the depth of the fascinatingly twisted relationship at the film's core. The film lurks unrepentantly in moral grey areas, and though Kang is a devilish brute, the viewer is never allowed to forget that he is also a human being, who himself has suffered terribly, and who is by no means devoid of emotion. Thanks in part to an excellent performance by Lee Jing Jin, equal parts sneering barbarity and touching vulnerability, it's hard not to feel sympathy for him, and the film is at times acutely uncomfortable to watch as a result. Jo Min Su is similarly on impeccable form as the mysterious mother figure, and their shifting bond, defined by a disconcerting mixture of passion and misery, is powerful and moving.
"Pieta" is a very dark film indeed, and features some extremely tough scenes, enough so to mark it as being not for everyone. Though Kim keeps much of the violence and blood out of shot, the film is unflinchingly nasty and callous in relentless and ruthless fashion, leading up to a gruesome last scene which sticks in the memory for some time. Worse still is the film's sexual violence, which though never exploitative in the least, is hard to stomach and will likely prove too perverse and distasteful for some viewers. This having been said, it's the film's emotional and psychological violence which punish the viewer more than its visceral scenes, and this makes it difficult for even hardened souls to escape its many horrors.
"Pieta" is not only a triumphant return to dark drama for Kim Ki Duk, but one of his best films to date, no small praise given the unfailing quality of his output. Though undeniably a tough watch, it's a film which succeeds fully on both an emotional and artistic level, and which again confirms Kim as one of the most talented directors working in Korea and indeed the world today.
