Meet the real-life Rapunzel, Jiang Aixiu.
With a 3.6 metre mane, Aixiu is proud of the fact she hasn't cut her hair in 21 years, all thanks to the recommendation of a hairdresser in 1990.
'I went to get my hair cut, but the hairdresser suggested me to keep it as its quality is good' recalled Aixiu.
Her hair grows at an amazing rate of 20cm a year, but Aixiu insists 'I didn't eat anything special or use any special shampoos'.
'I have to wash my hair section by section, and it takes at least two hours to wash it all.'
Although Aixiu has previously turned down 10,000 Yuan for her hair, she is now planning to cut it, as doctors say her long locks absorb too much nutrition from her head. Weird.

Thomas, as robert F. pointed out, everything depends on the kind of analysis you want. If you want to normalize your series, having all of them in a big array is the best (plain array, not structured, so that you can apply .mean and .std directly without having to loop on the series). If you need to apply the same function over all the series, here again having a big ndarray is easiest. Give us an example of what you wanna do.

The bug appears to be in the function vectorize1 (which is internal to scipy.integrate); it assumes that your function returns a numpy object (which yours does not). Switching to "from numpy import exp, ..." would probably cure the problem, as would wrapping the return value in numpy.array(). You might find that scipy.integrate.quad, which is based on solid FORTRAN routines from QUADPACK, is faster and more reliable. Nevertheless, that bug in scipy is annoying. A. M. Archibald

CALADO, Daniéla Cristina and SILVA, Mário Antônio Navarro da. Evaluation of the temperature influence on the development of Aedes albopictus. Rev. Saúde Pública [online]. 2002, vol.36, n.2, pp.173-179. ISSN 1518-8787. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0034-89102002000200009.
OBJECTIVE: To verify the temperature's influence on the Aedes albopictus development stages under laboratory conditions. METHODS: The development period of eggs, larvae and pupas were assessed at constant temperatures, 15ºC, 20ºC, 25ºC and 30ºC, inside acclimatized chambers with 70-85% of relative humidity, and LD 12:12 h. The effect of the four constant temperatures was assessed using variance analysis. RESULTS: The incubation periods of eggs were 38.38, 19.09, 13.10, and 10.44 days. Larval periods for males lasted 30.13, 13.83, 7.36, and 5.57 days; for females it lasted 33.22, 15.00, 8.06, and 6.16 days. Pupil period for males lasted 8.01, 4.92, 2.40, and 1.76 days; and for females it lasted 8.15, 5.11, 2.60, and 1.88 days under the temperatures of 15ºC, 20ºC, 25ºC and 30ºC, respectively. In all development stages for all temperatures, significant differences were found at the level of 5%. The development period was inversely associated to the temperature, and the larval period was shorter in males than in females. Under the temperatures of 20ºC and 30ºC, the development of immature stages was shorter and their viability was greater than at 15ºC. CONCLUSIONS: In the conditions the experiment was performed, the temperature affected significantly and inversely proportional Aedes albopictus immature stages. These results show that immature stages are more susceptible at low temperatures due to the longer time required completing their development. This could be used in vector control strategies.

Nissan Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hello and thank you for using JustAnswer.com
What does the car do when you try to start it?
the intelligent key warning light comes on along with the steering wheel alarm light. have checked both the steering column and have trid another intelligent key and nothing happens
The dash will not come on?
when you hit the start button?
Meaning the Dash warning lights?
it usually says to push brake and then push start button, but this does not come up
Now tell me this, when your stepping on the brake pedal, are the brake lights coming on?
after pushing the start button, these alarms come ondon't know. I'm at home now and the car is at a friends house
don't know. I'm at home now and the car is at a friends house
It's a good chance the brake switch is bad
This is common on the push button start cars for some reason.
it doesn't seam to detect the key fob?
The Brake pedal has to be pressed so the car will start. If the switch for the brake lights is bad, the computer can't tell your stepping on the brakes to start the car.
Also, I would check your battery also. Maybe put a jump to it and see if that will help show more signs of life.
why doesn't it say to depress the brakes and push start button to begin with?
That is the starting sequence when it detects the key.
For the people who just can't remember how to start a push button start car.
yes, thats why I think it is not detecting the key, because it is not telling me to depress the brakes and push start
Does the key lock and unlock the doors?
remote wise I mean
yes. with remote and with the key
panic button works, tried that, tried leaving the key in the holder for 10-15 minutes before starting and no luck
Then like I said, you need to check to see if the brake lights work when you step on the brake
If they don't, then try to jump start the car and see if that bring it to life.
If the remote works, the inside antenna will see the key. It's not the key that is the problem
Never the key if the remote works
guess thats what I'll have to try
You can always go try and return to this question at your friends house on his computer if you need more assistance with this.
But from what your describing, it's normally the battery, or the brake switch.
his birthday party has been moved to another location.won't be able to check til tommorrow
Well I won't be online till tomorrow evening. So let me know how you make out.
Thanks Jay!

Have Finance Questions? Ask a Financial Expert Online.
Dear Sedalia,
this does not pass the common sense test.
He can access his money from an international bank in Nigeria and arrange for a wire transfer.
the problem you and are going to have is I am giving you a legal answer from the perspective of banking laws, and you are saying the bank is telling you personally a different story. I can not refute that.
so let me answer in this way.
The American Red Cross can help him out n this case.
but I have to ask.
How did you meet your boyfriend? How long have you known him? Have you met him in person?
How do you know his account in MO has 50,000 dollars in it?
Dear Stalaro,
This is still not jiving, there are ways he can still get that money sent to him. Inactive would be a dormant account for 5 to 7 years.
Please see the following u.s. government lnk: http://www.helpwithmybank.gov/faqs/banking_inactive.html
in Missouri, a bank is inactive if there is no activity or it is dormant for a period of 2 years.
However a bank in MO can declare it inactive if there has been no transactions or failure to pay a fee for a period of 90 days. THEN in this circumstance he would have to contact them personally to process transactions.
I am wondering why he can not talk to a bank office on the phone and clear up any issues with his bank account.
The reason I am skepticalk about his circumstances is that he is in Nigeria. Nigeria has a very high fraud rate especially with three kinds of fraud:
1. Relationship fraud (even wiht nigerian born naturalizes u.s. citizens)
2. travel fraud: where people in NIgeria impersonating government officials and requireing special travel funds or health certificate forms, etc to let them leave the country. (there is no such thing, and if he traveled on a two way ticket, he simplyl needs to get his passport and go to the airport.)
3. Advanced fee frauds involving bank deposits and wire transfers. MOney deposited to a bank in response to a fraud letter would be closed down if the money instrument underlying the deposit proved to later be fraudulent or forgered or stolen.
As soon as I heare someone is stuck in Nigeria, It is a 75 to 85% chance it is associated with some kind of fraud on either the travelor or the persons back in the U.S.
In these circumstances I would advise that:
1. You personally contact the U.S. Embassy Citizen Serivces with information on your boyfriend with the details of how he came to be stranded; and ask if there is a way you can get him home. It is unusual that the U.S. Embassy Citizen Services would not be able to help a U.S. Citizen in this sitution. BUT sometimes, they need contact from a person back home. The phone numbers and email addresses are listed here: http://nigeria.usembassy.gov/consular_services.html
2. contact the Amrican Red Cross as I have suggested, but only after you have personally given the U.s. Embassy A chance to react. http://www.redcross.org/where/chapts.asp

Figure 1:
Lipid and lipoprotein pathways in the pathogenesis of NAFLD. NAFLD is considered to be liver manifestation of obesity and metabolic syndrome. In response to insulin and glucose, transcription factors SREBPs and ChREBP are activated and induce the expression of genes involved in the synthesis of fatty acids and cholesterol in the liver. Enhanced lipogenesis leads to enhanced VLDL production, a major metabolic perturbation in NAFLD. Increased VLDL secretion in plasma results in increase in LDL through CETP-mediated exchange of cholesteryl esters and triglycerides between LDL and VLDL, followed by triglyceride removal from LDL by hepatic lipase (HL). Liver removes LDL from circulation by LDLR-mediated endocytosis. Oxidized LDL and FFA are transported to the liver by CD-36, FA translocase, and scavenger receptor.

"The main reason for this, said the sources, was the huge workload being carried by Secretary of State Colin Powell and the fact that he was being forced to devote an ever-increasing amount of time to the escalating violence in the West Bank and Gaza Strip – Albawaba.com

Hi everyone. I'm new here, but I want to assure you that I'm not just here to get an answer to my question and then never come back. I've been running for almost two years and I'm finally starting to get really passionate about it!
So, like I said, I've been running for almost two years, but never really more than three miles because it just felt too hard to do. I did a 5K last year and ended huffing and puffing.
About a week and a half ago, on June 26, I suddenly ran four miles almost effortlessly. Then I did it again two days later on June 28. (I know: bad. I just bought a book on running a few days ago and learned you should only do one long run per week. I didn't know!) Somewhere in the middle of that second run, the middle part of my inner thigh started to have twinges. It was mild enough that I figured it was nothing and kept running. It felt fine when the run was over and for the rest of the day. Two days later it was a little achy, but so mildly. If the pain were any milder it would have been non-existent. It was just enough to notice it and wonder about it.
Three days after that, this past Monday, July 1, I ran about 2.5 miles and it felt OK until the very end, so I thought I was probably going to be fine. But it has been mildly (almost non-existently) sore for the past couple days. Today I figured I'd just go down to the track and see what I could do. I did a bit of a run/walk thing, running half a lap, walking a quarter of a lap, and doing this a few times, increasing the running each time. I felt it a little but it wasn't that bad. Now that I'm done, the pain is lingering and it's stronger than it's ever been, but I have to say, it still isn't that strong. It's just giving me mental stress more than anything because I signed up for a 5 mile run on August 17, which I'm not ready for, but would be if I could train over these next six weeks. I don't know what to do. It seems that I've tested it enough times to conclude that pushing it is a bad idea.
There seems to be no information whatsoever about the type of inner thigh pain I'm experiencing. Only inner thigh pain near the groin or above the knee. But this is right in the middle. Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone know what this may be or if it qualifies as a mild injury?
Thanks for your help, and I'm excited to join the running community!

Busy role at port satisfies seafarer
Grant Shimmin speaks to a man who has happily faced a few interesting workplace challenges in recent weeks.
Ken Wilson is one person who should never be caught complaining that his life is monotonous.
Because as the lanky Scotsman himself says, he never knows exactly what the next day will bring.
"The enjoyable part of the job is the variety," says the PrimePort Timaru marine manager.
"You don't know what's going to happen. You could get a call from an agency, saying they want to bring in a super yacht in 10 days . . . "
Or there could be news of other ships, with a variety of cargoes, which are already at sea and plan to put in at Timaru.
On Monday night, it was a call of a different kind that Ken got at 8.38pm, telling him of a yacht in distress off the coast south of Timaru. Because of the conditions, the coastguard requested the use of a tug and by 9.15pm the Te Maru, with a crew made up of port and coastguard personnel, including Ken, was en route to the Viti's position.
Yesterday morning, hours after returning from a successful rescue mission in heavy seas, Ken was back in his office but awaiting news of the departure time of a cargo ship, when he would be driving (yes, that's the word he uses) one of the port's tugs. The New Laurel had been due to depart at 8am yesterday, but Monday afternoon's heavy downpour had delayed unloading of its rain-sensitive cargo of fertiliser, meaning its departure time was uncertain.
Those sorts of challenges are all in a day's work for Edinburgh- born Ken, whose role means he is responsible for "all marine-related matters" at the port. Three pilots, two engineers and four marine service operators fall under him. He is also responsible for two tugs and a pilot boat.
"It's quite varied. There's a lot of time spent dealing with legislative matters, such as making sure that our vessels comply with all legal requirements."
He also gets called on to work as a pilot on occasions.
The role of a harbour pilot is one that has come into sharp focus in the past few weeks, with the port seeing heightened activity, including two visits by the cruise ship Seabourn Odyssey, which returns on February 19, the visit of Microsoft founder Paul Allen's super yacht Octopus last weekend and the loading and dispatching of a shipment of more than 7000 dairy cows to China on the Dareen.
The port's three fulltime pilots work a roster and Ken, as the fourth, covers holidays and illness. He says there are usually two pilots on at once, one on the ship and the other on a tug.
"When we get the big MSC container ships, we put two pilots on, one piloting the vessel and the other monitoring operations."
He explains that on arrival and departure, the master of a ship retains legal control, despite the presence of a pilot.
"The pilot gives advice, having knowledge of local conditions.
"We ask to take the helm, and give courses and engine commands."
Becoming a pilot requires candidates to be master mariners, which means they must have previously skippered a boat. In Ken's case, he had vast experience on ferries, between Britain and Europe, and later across Cook Strait, before arriving at PrimePort in late 2011.
But irrespective of previous experience, all prospective pilots go through a rigorous three-level training programme.
First there's the C class licence, which allows holders to pilot vessels up to 140 metres. Qualifying requires at least 100 training trips - qualification is not automatic, candidates are continually assessed - which takes three to four months.
The B class licence, which covers vessels up to 200m, and fuel tankers up to 160m, requires another 70 trips - training trips take place in a variety of conditions, including daylight and darkness - while the unlimited licence requires at least another 100 trips. Timaru has two pilots with this qualification, with Ken, here for just over a year, and another pilot, holding their B class tickets.
Even when a pilot has reached the top rung, however, training continues to keep their qualifications current.
"Simulator work is ongoing. We simulate emergency preparedness - things like coming through the harbour entrance and the ship loses its engine.
"Our biggest problem in Timaru is the wind. The northwesterlies can just come out of nowhere.
"Doing a job, you've always got to have in the back of your head a get-out that you can immediately execute."
Despite no seafaring background, Ken says going to sea was always what he wanted to do. Joining the P&O Group as a group cadet, at 17, was no surprise. "It's the old 'want to see the world' thing. I never really wanted to do anything else."
When he joined, P&O was a huge shipping company with a "broad variety of ships", making it an ideal training ground for the cadets.
It took Ken four years to get his second mate's ticket, which launched him on a 22-year career with P&O Ferries, covering "most of the ferry routes around the UK" and rising through the ranks to chief officer, then master.
A reorganisation in the company saw him move to the Stena Line, with which he spent another four years on ferries.
Then, in 2006, he and his wife found their way to South Canterbury on holiday, their daughter having met a New Zealander playing rugby in Scotland.
Having had a look at the place, Ken decided to "inquire about a job" and found himself being interviewed by Strait Shipping, which had started an interisland ferry business a few years earlier.
"I talked to them and they said 'When can you start?' It's a job that's on the skills list," he explained.
The next five years saw Ken doing a fair amount of driving. Living in Timaru with his wife - both their daughters and their three grandchildren now live here - he was on for two weeks and off for two, so he did the six-hour drive to Picton, and the return journey to Timaru, every fortnight, before being employed by PrimePort.
"I was always hoping to get even a pilot's job," he says.
Now he has the satisfaction of an extremely varied job but also, having spent "most of my life away from home", the chance to spend a bit more time with family.
And he couldn't be happier to have ended up in Timaru. "It has everything you want, swimming complex, movie theatre . . . but it's still small. It was a fortuitous move."
His employers at PrimePort would probably agree.

NNEDV Partners With Soma Intimates
January 10, 2013
To help raise awareness about domestic violence, NNEDV has again partnered with Soma Intimates through its 6th bi-annual Giving is Beautiful campaign, a nationwide charitable initiative to collect bras for women in need is the largest of its kind. With over 368,000 bras collected to-date, the scale and scope of the project is a testament to Soma Intimates and the Soma customer's dedication to making a difference in women's lives. From January 10- February 14th, 2013, the company is accepting both new and gently worn bras at all Soma boutiques across the country.
"We began this initiative in 2010 after we learned that bras are one of the least donated, yet most needed clothing items for women in need. The seemingly simple act of donating a bra can help restore a woman's dignity and confidence as she rebuilds her life," states Laurie Van Brunt, Soma Intimates' Brand President. "We want to thank each and every one of our generous Soma customers who have already donated a bra to support other women."
The Soma Bra Donation initiative is national in scope but local in nature — directly impacting communities where the bras are donated. Each of Soma Intimates' 210 boutiques and outlets will work with its local women's shelter to help women in need in that area. Representing over 2,000 shelter programs across 56 state and territory coalitions throughout the United States, NNEDV continues to be a vital partner to help spread the word and make a difference in women's lives.
"When a victim of domestic violence has to flee her home in the middle of the night, she will likely arrive at the shelter with only the clothes on her back," says Kim Gandy, President, NNEDV. "We hear from so many shelters how much they appreciate donations of new bras for survivors to wear as they rebuild their lives. The National Network to End Domestic Violence applauds Soma Intimates for partnering each of their boutiques with a local domestic violence shelter to raise awareness about abuse, raise critically needed funds, and help victims reach safety."
First launched in July 2010, this marks the sixth biannual Soma Bra Donation initiative for Soma Intimates. To-date, Soma has collected over 368,000 bras to help women in need across the country.

Going to Seed is a generous half circle shawl that fits well around the shoulders. Ten sections create the body shape that finishes with a diamond border. The body is a breeze to work with the border being a little more challenging.
The pattern is written for 459 yards of fingering/sock weight yarn and a size G hook for a shawl that blocked to 47" neckline edge x 16.5" long.
Make it any size you wish with any yarn weight you like by choosing a hook size that will work for that yarn. Save one-third of your yarn back for the border or use another color for the border.
The five page pattern includes written instructions and a crochet chart sells for $5.00. You can buy the pattern through my Ravelry pattern store.

I have a problem with the compressible encryption how is used. Now I have read that this encryption is based on a simple byte-substitution cipher with a fixed substitution table. But unfortunately I can't find this table. Maybe someone can help me where to
find this table or where I cane find all the necessary information about compressible encryption.
Many thanks in advance,
Best regards
As my experience, you cannot read the compressible encryption data.
Please see
Best regards.

Thx for the replay.
That the information is hard to find, that for sure but
I doubt more than a bit that this is really not possible. Why otherwise you can find third part library like
with which for example you can read/export all the emails in a folder and more..

BIRTHDAY GUY: Actor Christoph Waltz was born in Vienna, Austria, today in 1956. This birthday guy has won two Best Supporting Actor Academy Awards for his performances in "Django Unchained" and "Inglorious Basterds," respectively. His other film work includes "Carnage," "Water for Elephants" and "The Three Musketeers." He will next star as former Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev in the upcoming drama "Reykjavík."
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Foot the bill, but let someone else leave the tip. When you insist on being too independent it can stand in the way of intimacy. You do not want to rely on other people, but they may need to feel they are needed.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): When you are feeling down and out you need a friend. Social affairs may revolve around business or work or because your job is demanding you may miss out on pleasant occasions. Keep in touch with friends.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): It takes determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort to make dreams come true. Use the knowledge at your fingertips to develop a plan so that you can act on your most cherished imaginings next week.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Take the high road when dealing with situations that involve moral standards or ethics. You will earn respect and help your reputation by adhering to your convictions.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): There is a reason it is called the "strength" of your convictions. If you give in to the temptation to do something underhanded you may get away with it, but you will weaken your standing in your own eyes.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If you have a one track mind you have no choice but to reach your destination. Even the most strenuous tasks eventually get completed through tough-mindedness. Spend quality time with an affectionate companion.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Open mindedness can open doors. Make your own opportunities and then work hard to take advantage of them. Loved ones are willing to accept an apology or may surprise you by showing extra appreciation.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): One is the loneliest number. You may be feeling somewhat isolated or out of the loop because of pressing commitments or responsibilities. Keep in touch with relatives and friends in long distance locations this weekend.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Chatterboxes let cats out of bags. The tendency to speak whatever crosses your mind might create a brief conflict. Count on a close companion to give you wise advice or some helpful guidance.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): An unconventional outlook puts you at the head of the class or in a position to call the shots. However, this does not mean it is a good time to make a crucial decision or to put irrevocable changes into motion.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Insignificant acorns eventually grow into strong oak trees. Consistent effort might not earn immediate applause, but it will create self-satisfaction. Keep plugging away at a pet project or a business plan.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Act with honesty and sincerity. People will be more likely to grant favors or give you a recommendation if they know that you are trustworthy. At the same time, there may be a bit of self-interest involved.
IF OCTOBER 4 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Between now and the beginning of November you may be caught up in a romantic fantasy or inspired to make some cherished ambitions a reality. Sometime during the next four to six weeks find time for a vacation or weekend getaway to refresh your By late November your business sense is at an all-time high, but you won't get a free ride or favors without strings attached. Honor existing obligations but don't undertake any new ones or add to your financial burdens. The answers to your prayers may appear in January. That is the best time to launch important new plans or to make alterations in your life. If you want to change jobs, make a career move, or find a soul mate late January looks promising.

AREA NOTEBOOK: Three is the magic number for Grand Forks boys hockey
Three has been the magic number for the Grand Forks boys hockey teams.
Central and Red River resume their rivalry when they meet at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at Purpur Arena. For both teams, three goals has been the difference between success and failure.
Red River, with wins in seven of its last nine games, is 10-6. The Roughriders are 10-1 when they've scored three or more goals in a game. Central, 10-7, is a perfect 9-0 when it has reached three goals in a game.
"It's probably more of a coincidence than anything," Central coach Grant Paranica said of the trend.
"We have been getting good goaltending from Taner Bender. And we've played relatively good defense. If you can keep teams down to a few goals, then it's a matter of executing on your own end."
The one win either team has when it scored less than three goals is the Knights' 2-1 victory against Red River in the teams' first meeting.
The Grand Forks teams are similar in that they rely on balanced scoring rather than a few individual offensive standouts. And both are strong in goal; Red River's struggles early in the season (2-3 start) were when goalie Aaron Sauve was sidelined with an injury.
"It's no coincidence that we started to get better when he came back," Roughriders coach Bill Chase said. "He's a real good goalie. I think the team's confidence got a boost when he came back."
Besides having its goalie back, Chase said Red River's second-half surge has come from a work ethic. "It's hard work," Chase said. "The kids realized we can't take a shift off; that they had to work hard all the time. We don't have an explosive offense. It's about going hard and working for rebounds."
Wave-TRF showdown
East Grand Forks Senior High and Thief River Falls could be playing for the No. 1 spot in the Minnesota Class A girls state hockey poll as well as the No. 1 seed in Section 8A next week.
Senior High hosts the Prowlers at 7 p.m. Friday. This week, the Prowlers were ranked first and the Green Wave second in the state Class A poll. Thief River Falls is 20-0 entering the weekend; Senior High is 20-1-1, its lone loss a 2-1 decision to TRF.
"We'd like to think that the No. 1 seed is up for grabs," Senior High coach Jim Scanlan said. "If we beat them, we have almost identical records. Whether a win late in the season carries more weight than a win early in the season carries, we'll see. And there will be other things we'll look at (when coaches vote on seeding).
"But the first thing we have to do is beat them. The last few years, every time we've played it has been a good game."
Thief River Falls has one of the state's top goaltenders in Frances Marshall. Senior High has one of the state's top lines in sisters Haley and Lexi Mack along with Riley Koberinski. But there is more to both teams than the headliners.
"They have some very talented forwards," Scanlan said. "And our overall team defense probably gets overshadowed by our scoring ability."
EGF teams to meet
Sacred Heart is off to a 9-0 start in girls basketball. All the wins have been against Minnesota Class A or North Dakota Class B opponents. The Eagles face their first Minnesota Class AA opponent when they play at East Grand Forks Senior High on Thursday night.
"I personally don't feel like we're a favorite in the game," Sacred Heart coach Joann Remer said. "We're still the small school. They have a lot more kids to pick from."
Remer is in her seventh season as the Eagles' coach. She's still looking for her first win against the Green Wave. The teams have different looks.
Balance is the Eagles' strength. Four players have double-figure scoring averages, Michele Remer (16.6 ppg), Stacy Remer (14.3 ppg), Jordyn Lloyd (12.9 ppg) and Anya Edwards (12.9 ppg).
Senior High, 7-8 after winning four of its last six games, relies on guard Kelsey Schlenk (17.5 ppg). The Wave's next scorers are Alex Arroyo (10 ppg) and Karlee Westrem (8 ppg).
Davis provides spark
After opening its season with six straight losses, Grand Forks Central won back-to-back games. One of the sparkplugs has been reserve Samonica Davis.
The 6-foot sophomore played sparingly through the first six games, totaling 11 points. Her playing time increased after starting post player Jess Longtin suffered a season-ending injury. Davis had 14 points in a 56-50 win against Red River, then scored 13 in a 60-58 win against Fargo North.
"She's come around and helped us quite a bit," Knights coach D.J. Burris said. "We challenged our posts. They needed to contribute more, not just scoring but in rebounding. And Samonica has given us a boost. If she keeps playing like this, she could work her way into to the starting lineup."

Getting to Know You
I had a great idea yesterday, that after Ezra's nap we would ride our bikes downtown to the Chalk Art Festival in Larimer Square. Ez likes bike rides and chalk and sidewalks so I figured it would be perfect. It was a beautiful afternoon and trailing Will and Ez on the Cherry Creek bike path is just one of those excellent Denver experiences that fills my heart up. As we locked up our bikes and headed toward the smell of funnel cakes I allowed myself a moment of oh yay! Look how much fun this is for a 2-year old!
And then we encountered this:
Now this is the kind of scene that makes me want to dive in. But soon I was reminded that for Ez it has the opposite effect. He didn't cry or whine. Instead he just completely withdrew. I could see his face become impassive. Even the crocodile chalk art couldn't elicit an enthusiastic point or grin. It was like he was willing himself to disappear from the crowd completely.
Oh right, my kid is an introvert. For a moment there I forgot. So we got back on our bikes and rode home, where he became delighted again very quickly. But not before I had a chance to snap these.

Professional boxer Nick Blackwell had a taste of the high life on Tuesday morning when he helped training partner and sponsor Paul Silk to put the new flagpole on the roof of Devizes Town Hall.
Mr Blackwell, 22, of Trowbridge, is in training for a British middleweight title contest in London next month and has been helping out Mr Silk of Wiltshire Steeplejacks as part of his training regime.
He said: "I have known Paul for years. He wanted to lose a bit of weight so I took him out training with me and he asked me to help him out on a job or two.
"The town hall job was fine, but very cold. I have no problem with heights.
"I worked with Paul on removing a tree from a tall chimney in Melksham last month and that was ridiculously high."
The town council decided to replace its flagpole, thought to be the original put up in 1808, after the top of it snapped off during the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations in July.
They were delighted to have it installed in time to display the Union flag for Sunday's Remembrance Day parade.

Otisfield - 1976
(The following is taken from the Otisfield, Maine Town Report, Year Ending Dec 31, 1975)
The chain of events which
culminated in the naming of the town of Otisfield in 1776, commenced in
the year 1690 when a military company under the command of Captain John
Gorham, a part of a larger force, was sent by the Massachusetts Bay Province
against Canada in the French and Indian War.
Upon their return, in consideration of their suffering and service, Captain Gorham's company was granted a township In the undeveloped territory of the Massachusetts Bay Province (Maine). Unfortunately, when a survey was made of the grant, it was found to be located almost entirely within the territory of neighboring New Hampshire. As a result, the members of the company were left with no benefits from the grant.
The matter was apparently dropped and no effort made to reopen it until 1771 when the Hon. James Otis and Mr. Nathaniel Gorham, in behalf of themselves and other heirs and assigns of the original members of Captain Gorham's Company, petitioned the Massachusetts Legislature for a new township grant to replace the one lost so many years before. It is hardly possible any of the original members of the company were alive at this time; their rights now being represented by their heirs or other persons to whom their rights may have been given or sold.
A new grant was allowed, consisting of seven miles square to be located "East of the Saco River and adjoining the boundary of an existing township"- in this case the town of Raymond. Other conditions required within a six year period that thirty families be settled in the town; a meeting house be constructed and division of the land include one sixty- fourth of the township to be laid out for the "ministry", another sixty fourth for the first settled minister, another for the grammar school and a final one for Harvard University. The other 60 rights belonged to the Proprietors.
Organized as a corporation, the Proprietors voted to lay out an initial division of 65 one hundred acre lots, the sixty fifth lot being established as a mill privilege. Each Proprietor was assessed 30 shillings for each right he held (some held several) in order to raise money to accomplish this work. Rights of Proprietors who were delinquent in payment of this or subsequent assessments were sold to prospective settlers. The survey of this first division was completed in late 1773.
The Proprietors then hired a contractor to build a bridge across Crooked River (probably at Edes Falls), construct a sawmill and a grist mill and to cut out a road from the river to the center of the township. This road, later called the Pierce Road, still exists in part as a logging road commencing at Edes Falls, thence northerly along Jug Town Road so-called, then branching easterly across Poplar Ridge to the vicinity of Camp Songo on Pleasant Lake and the
Casco Road. The contractor, George Pierce, had a great deal to do with the subsequent development of the town.
At a meeting of the Proprietors on October 16, 1776, it was voted to lay out a second division of 64 one hundred acre lots for assignment to themselves per each right and the 4 special shares for ministry and education. It was at this meeting (see inside cover), "It was voted the Name of the Town be Otisfield."
James Otis owned several Proprietor rights and it is believed that this and because of his efforts in petitioning the matter into a second grant were the reasons for the Town being so named. It is not believed that James Otis ever saw Otisfield.

|Renal Failure
|Drug: calcium acetate Drug: aluminum hydroxide Drug: Sevelamer
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Primary Purpose: Prevention
|Official Title:
|Parathyroid Hormone Levels in Relation to the Phosphorus Content of Meals
Drugs used will include three phosphate binders already approved and commonly used. Calcium acetate, aluminum hydroxide, and sevelamer (Renagel) will be given on separate occasions in conjunction with a high phosphorus meal. They will be given in standard doses used in the treatment of high phosphorus levels in hemodialysis patients.
The population targeted will included hemodialysis patients with elevated iPTH and phosphorus levels.
The patients will receive up to five separate meals. Four of these will be high phosphorus content meals and one will be a low phosphorus content meal. On up to three occasions with the high phosphorus content meals the patients will ingest one of the three phosphate binders. The meals will be ingested after a twelve-hour overnight fast. Labs will be drawn prior to meal ingestion and then at 15, 30, 60, 120 and 240-minute intervals. The labs will consist of iPTH, phosphorus, calcium, and glucose. A serum albumin level will be obtained with the initial specimen only. The patients will have an iPTH level of at least 200pg/ml and a serum phosphorus level of at least 4.0 mg/dl.
The primary outcome will be the change in the iPTH level in relation to the phosphorus content of the meals. Secondary outcomes will include the change in iPTH level in relation to the various phosphate binders being used.

Barclays releases profit figures a day early
Barclays has taken the unusual step of releasing its headline profit figures a day early, after deciding to "provide clarity" following a media report.
The bank's pre-tax profits for 2013 rose to £2.9bn, while adjusted pre-tax profits fell to £5.2bn.
Barclays was due to release the figures on Tuesday, but felt that a Financial Times report previewing the numbers was too close to the actual figures.
Listed firms must abide by strict rules on releasing market sensitive data.
Although Barclays gave no reason for the early release in its announcement to the London Stock Exchange, the bank explained to the BBC later that the FT's story "was close enough, and so it was felt that we needed to provide clarity".
Full details of the bank's financial figures for 2013 are due at 7:00 GMT on Tuesday.
BarclaysLast Updated at 22 Sep 2017, 15:30 GMT *Chart shows local time
|191.55 p
Barclays is also expected this week to confirm its overall bonus payments for 2013, and could face questions over possible job cuts in its investment bank.
Barclays chief executive Antony Jenkins sought to head off criticism over the amount the bank is paying out in bonuses when he waived his annual bonus for 2013, which could have been worth up to £2.75m.
The bank paid out £2.17bn in total incentives in 2012, including a £1.85bn bonus pot, and is reportedly planning to pay out up to £2.4bn for 2013.
As Barclays has cut at least 1,800 jobs in its investment bank already, this would mean higher average bonuses for each member of staff.
It is already reported to be planning to axe several hundred jobs at a senior level in its investment banking business, as well as ordering staff to cut out all non-essential overseas travel to reduce costs.
The group could also be pressed on branch closures, in spite of its denial of recent reports that up to a quarter of its 1,600 sites in the UK could close.
Mr Jenkins said at last year's results that at least 3,700 jobs were being cut and revealed in shareholder meetings last March that the bank was considering using automation to cut its workforce further.

Texas DT Brandon Moore hospitalized after being carted off vs. Oklahoma; Jackson Jeffcoat to be evaluated
Note: This originally appeared on our colleges blog.
Texas junior defensive tackle Brandon Moore was hospitalized in Dallas following a scary incident in the third quarter.
Moore went down on a pass rush and remained motionless on the Cotton Bowl turf for several minutes before he was loaded onto a stretcher and then a cart. A Texas spokesman said Moore was moving his arms and legs. A junior college transfer, Moore played on Alabama's 2009 national championship team.
Also, defensive end Jackson Jeffcoat will have his shoulder evaluated when the team returns to Austin.

Wenger: Campbell can cut it at the top
Sol Campbell quit Notts County because he believes he can still cut it in the Premier League, according to Arsene Wenger.
The Arsenal manager believes the former Gunners and Portsmouth defender realised it was too early to give up the challenge of the top flight.
Campbell terminated his five-year deal with League Two Notts County and looks as though he will be unable to play for another club until January.
But Wenger said: ''He knew straight away that's not where is challenge is. It is always a cultural shock when you go down a level. I know from talking to players who have had to do that. They experienced it badly in the first six months and you can understand why they decided to quit.
''I believe Sol still has enough in the locker to play in the Premier League.''
Wenger said he had not been surprised by Campbell's sudden change of heart. ''I knew it would be difficult for him there,'' he said.

Hello- I have recently been thinking about my soon to be highschooler's future and have thought of the possibility of her not going to college. I don't mean that she can't go, by any means- as I believe that if God wants her to, she will! My thought is really just the anti establishment idea that she may not go to college. I strongly believe in the good of raising daughters to enjoy being keepers of home, whether they further their education at an institution or not. I guess I just want to know if any of you ladies have daughters that have decided not to go to college or are thinking this way as well. Any comments on this?
My daughter is only in 7th grade this year but she repeatedly tells me she is not interested in going to college. Her passion is the fine arts (drama, drawing, singing, etc.) and feels like she can accomplish some of these fields without going to college. Getting a job and working in community theatre is some of her thoughts for the future. I totally agree and support her. In this economy and troubled times I don't believe that college is what it used to be. If she wishes to go to college more power to her but if she wants to get married and start a family it is just as important. Academics are not her strong suit and unless something changes with her motivation and drive for college it probably won't happen. Her drive lies elsewhere, as mentioned before in the fine arts. All children are different and I don't feel it is in her best interest to fight it. Sorry for the ramble but this is something I think about often and have finally come to peace with.

My two daughters who have graduated are not attending college, and I'm happy with that decision for them. Here is a link to a previous discussion on the subject, Anyone else not preparing daughters for college, that might give you some encouragement.
I love this question because many of us are in this situation. There was a time one of my daughter's wanted to go to college, but then life happened, illness and world economy changing and now it is not as likely. We do not believe it is right to go into debt for a college education and due to certain life events we are unable to finance college. So we are now looking at alternatives. Our requirement was always to educate them to college level and to fill in the squares so they could go if it was possible and we have done that mostly. We also wanted them to know that learning does not stop at a certain age and that they should continue learning always in their areas of interest and new things as well. We agreed that young women need to be able to care for themselves in case God does not have marriage and family in their future, but also we did not want them to go to college just because, there had to be a sensible end game in sight. Taking all this into consideration, we have at this point decided that full time college is not on the cards – so we are in this next year looking at alternatives to that….internships, apprenticeships, home business etc…no answers yet – so this topic is very interesting. Sonya thanks for the reminder about the previous posting on the topic….I for one am glad the subject is here again to have more discussion. I think this is a confusing time for our daughters – there can be huge advantages to a college education if there is a real job and career at the end of it – but I see no point if there is not, and debt is never and should never be an option unless you know at the end you can pay it off. College is becoming more and more expensive, and it should not be a given that everyone goes imho – realistically not everyone is cut out for it, or can afford it – we have unfortunately become accustomed to it being the norm and young people who don't go are often looked down on – that is such a shame. What we have in the world now are many people with degrees they cannot use, debt they cannot pay and on the other side of the coin, a lack of plumbers, electricians, and skills in the trades that pay really well, but no-one seems to want to do. College is not a right, and needs to be thought carefully about….some extra classes online at home maybe on the cards for our girls, but full time – no – I hope the world situation will become clearer in the next year and we can see a clearer path as to various options and things to do….at the end of the day we are happy with whatever they decide, as long as the decision has been made with thought for all the issues taken into account – if in a years time they want extra education, then they have both said they would want to do it online at home – so we will see, but nothing is set in stone at this house, except that debt is not an option.

Personally, I don't have daughters, but I see where you are coming from. I think that you should certainly teach your daughters what it means to be godly women, but also not rule out the possibility that college might be what God has in mind for them. I don't think that everyone is ready for college at 18 — I wasn't. I didn't even really know what I wanted to do with my life then. My father and high school guidance councellor pushed me into taking Journalism in College. I hated it. I didn't complete the course, but wound up with a huge debt anyway.
When you look at the statistics of those — male or female–who take University courses in Canada it is amazing how many never work in their field of study — and a 3 or 4 year bachelor of arts is next to meaningless. You need some sort of post graduate studies to get anywhere. So there is a minimum of 5 years of education at approximately $10,000 a year — probably in loans which need to be paid back even if you don't work. College is slightly better. Most programs are 2-3 years and prepare for an actual career or trade, and the odds of working in the field are a little higher.
While many jobs require some sort of specialized training, not all do. And some high level jobs can still be attained by working your way up. Our nephew started working at a grocery store collecting carts while in his last year of high school. He worked his way up and is now nearly complete the management training program and only months away from running his own store. He is only 21.
Not everyone will go to college, not everyone needs to go to college, but everyone should have the option. Marriage will not be in God's plan for every woman or every man. Not every daughter will be content to live out her life in his father's home if she doesn't marry. My sister-in-law has lived in her parent's home her entire life. She is 52. She has worked since she was 14 and plans to retire in 3 years. She didn't go to college, but working has been the only real independance she's ever had. Still, she and her mother wait on her father hand-and-foot — that is NOT Biblical submission.
Niether of my own sisters are married either, and they both work, have attended college and are doing well for themselves. They share an apartment. Their independance allowed my mother to move several hours away to care for her mother for the last years of her life. Our mother has remairred and has never moved back. It is important that our daughters are able to take care of themselves — they may not have husbands, and those with fathers now, may not always.
I haven't had time to read through all the posts, but a great encouragement in this area if you have not seen it is Voddie Baucham's dvd on Getting Your House in Order. It is part two in a dvd set called Children Of Ceasear. The last part of dvd 2 he spends much time on that very topic~and powerfully.
Funny, because we watched it last night as a whole family!
I think that there are so many educational options now that we need to stop thinking in terms of 'going' to college. It is totally possible to get a degree these days without having to leave home. There are also online training programs for a variety of professions. I do think it is important for our daughters to have options in terms of potentially supporting themselves or contributing to a family's finances, but that does not have to mean participating in on-campus education and all the craziness that can go with that.
One example is the plan outlined at Milestones Academy for taking advantage of all the exams for credit that are available. You can learn the material in any way you choose (Charlotte Mason approach anyone?) and then just take the test.
Our province also has a site where you can access the online or distance courses from several institutions across the province and piece together your own degree or certificate program.
MIT has free access to many of their courses online.
The possibilities are endless, and I believe they will only increase in the future.
Oh what a joy to find such great responses! I love the fact that God has a plan for everyone, and just like our schooling, they are taylor made to the individual. Missingtheshire, I appreciate the way you articulated how your family requirement was to educate them to college level and then fill in the squares if needed. Thank you all for your encouragement. Hoping others will chime in on their thoughts. I'm going over to Sonya's link!
I don't think by ANY means that everyone–male OR female–should go to college.
A few things to keep in mind, though—
1. Life is unpredictable and education in general and skills in specific are very, very useful. There is no way to know who might need to support 6 kids when she's 30 . . .even if one isn't going to college, typing skills or transcription skills or the ability to draw blood or be a medication aide or . . . health care is the field I know–some of these things are very easy to learn as a teen. I was certified as a nurse's aide, a transcriptionist, a medication aide, AND a phlebotomist while I was still in high school and going to school full time and working part time, and almost all the money I've ever made came from those skills.
2. Education is almost NEVER "useless" although it can be a poor return on investment. I've never earned a single dime from my degrees unless you count my teaching assistantships but I don't regret what I learned at ALL (although I do regret the loans!)
3. It's a lot easier to work in skills in high school that might make it easier to get further education–of ANY kind–later than it would be to go back and start from scratch in ten or fifteen years with few skills or little liberal arts education. Case in point–I am digitally acquainted with a family with a teen girl who are deliberately NOT teaching her any math more complicated than basic fractions, although she has aptitude and could easily learn, because she "won't need algebra as a mother." I quibble with this to begin with, but then, suppose she is widowed or divorced at age 30–she's going to have a MISERABLE time trying to learn enough math for even something as simple as an LPN certification, and she's going to have to PAY to do it when it would be so easy to do it now.
4. Being a college educated woman and being a keeper at home are NOT mutually incompatible–I know DOZENS. They don't take your ovaries upon graduation. LOL And you don't have to turn off your brain to be a wife and mother. The more a woman knows–the larger the room in which she sets her feet–the richer and more rewarding HER life can be and also the lives of her children, especially if she becomes a homeschooling mom! One can gain tremendous education on one's own, of course, without ever walking in the walls of a college, but one can also learn a tremendous amount to enrich the lives of all posterity AT a college.
Agree with Michelle, that is why we have equipped the girls to go to college if they want and/or online classes – we do not rule anything out….I have a history/geography degree, never used it for anything useful except in this homeschool, but I have it. I am all for a college education if there is a definite job prospect at the end….but all these kids who go do media studies and the like are in my mind not looking at the big picture. When I got my degree in the UK, it cost very little, that is not the case now. I am horrified to think there are people out there deliberately not educating their children fully because they think they won't need it….we don't live in the dark ages, we live in a competitive world where nothing is guaranteed in life. My girls really are not into math at all, and have always been math phobic since public school. However hubby has patiently worked with them over the years so that should they want to go to college or get a job that required math they would be capable of doing so. Every situation is different, but we short change our children I think if we do not prepare them fully for every eventuality. I traveled and worked extensively after college through Europe and Australia, and then to fund my travels I trained as a medical secretary and worked at that for many years, right up until I was married…I worked for the US Air Force in that field and that is how I met my husband. In a round about way it all tied together….my history and geography degree made me want to travel to see the places I had studied, the medical secretary work made that possible, I met lots of interesting people and saw lots of historical sites and worked from treading grapes in Italy to helping in an archeological dig in Greece – then on one of my money earning sprees working for the US Air Force in Europe, I met my husband and my single travel days were over…so the education and interests my education inspired were well worth it to me. I would encourage no-one to short change their sons or daughters, Michelle makes excellent points and that is why we have given the girls all they need academically should they want further education either now or later on….
I would never intentional not prepare my child for post secondary education. To do so seems to imply putting a limitation on their right to develope as a human being. We must remember that while we have our own personal vision of who or what our children should be, God's plan for them may be completely different. Not every woman will be a wife, and not every wife will be a mother.
Not sure if you read the other post Sonya linked yet, but within that post is an article on SCM's sister site Intentional Parents called "What About College". Though we have all boys, I found this very helpful and agree wholeheartedly. Also, want to second her book recommendation of College Without Compromise. There is an excellent chapter in the book titled "Preparing to be a well-equiped Helpmeet" which is all about daughters & college. I also found Voddie Bauchams messages on homeschooling and college excellent! He also has some audios on this topic over on College Plus website under endorsements.
4myboys, I couldn't agree more – only God knows what He has in store for our children and all we can do is provide them with all the possible tools so that when God's plan is unveiled they can take full advantage – I decided like my mum before me that my children must decide on their path and we must have them ready for any and all eventualities – and then let them fly. She did that with me, and when my girls are ready to start the next season of their lives we will help them to soar….whether that is a job, college, online college or marriage….or even travel….they as young adults must find their path and our job is to guide them as best we can in readiness for flight into their own lives.
I agree with 4myboys as well. My original question wasn't geared toward me saying no to college, just to the idea that not all have to go, or should. I am one who believes that you pray about each child and trust that God will direct and provide. That being said, I must do what I can as guidance councelor/teacher to make it possible for her to go if that is her calling. Education does not end at 18, really only just beginning in my opinion. Life is learning. I also affirm that if my daughter is blessed to be married and have children of her own and decides to homeschool them, she needs a well rounded and ever growing education. One of the beauties of CM is her "science of relations" with various forms of knowledge, be it book knowledge, hobbies or life skills. A lifestyle of learning, really.
I pray that I am preparing my son and daughter for college should they choose to attend a college. I am not going to push a college education though given how the economy now and who knows what it will be like when they are at that stage in life.If the course of study they wish to pursue requires a college education, then so be it. However, given my past experience with time and money spent on a college education, I am not exactly for that kind of stress for my children.
I attended a community college for 2 years (worked FT during the summer and part-time the rest of the year) and graduated with a degree in paralegal studies. I could NOT find a paralegal job upon graduation and ended up as a mailroom runner for 2 years. I was hired on as a paralegal once but due to the neglience of the person hiring me, I was fired after only a few months. She "assumed" I had more understanding than what my resume represented and I assure you I did not lead her on to get the job. It was all there for her to see.
After that life changing moment, I pursued a medical transcriptionist program at the local vocational school. I graduated with honors in only 10 months. I found a job as an in-house MT within the year and 3 years later I became an at-home transcriptionist raising my family. I just recently "retired" to fully dedicate myself to my children. Basically, my 2-year degree was worthless but my 10-month degree provided a small income for our family for over 10 years.
My husband even has a great job without having a 4-year degree. Most of his has been hands-on experience and self-study.
It all comes down to experience in the field, not some piece of paper. I lost out on paralegal jobs because I did not have experience. They could care less than I spent the last 2 years struggling to gain such an education. They wanted EXPERIENCED paralegals.
It is just ridiculous the way college tuition is becoming for our future generation. No one should graduate from school and be in debt by THOUSANDS of dollars in student loans and the like.
Let us all pray for our children and their futures….

Gordon Ramsay works his charm at the Sydney Good Food And Wine Show 2009
I have been heading over to the Good Food And Wine Show in Sydney religiously for the past 2 years and each time has been extremely eventful. The first time around I was 4 months pregnant and battling severe all day morning sickness. I remember taking breaks and splashing water on my face to calm the nausea that was triggered every now and then by the sight and smell of something which would have under normal circumstances made me swoon with delight. The second year, we all went. Nick and me and the kids. It was chaotic and crowded and we lost my eldest for 70 minutes after the show when it was dark and Darling Harbor was swarming with people. The police were notified, a bunch of really nice families were running around with us helping us look, the rangers were doing their best to co-ordinate the whole search. And we found him, I thank God for that every day, but that story is for another day.

Tobie Puttock demonstrates a rotolo
This year I decided to go, sans the kids and husband. It was a wise decision and I had a fabulous time which was also accompanied by peace of mind, knowing that no children of mine would be lost today. I went on the last day of the show, which was surprisingly a not-so-crowded-Sunday. The first thing I noticed this year was the reduced number of stalls in the halls of the Sydney Convention Center at Darling Harbor. The global credit crunch was rearing its ugly head at the GFWS 2009 for sure. I had tickets to watch Gordon Ramsay. As I wandered around, tasting this and sipping that, I scored a free ticket to watch Tobie Puttock. I headed straight to the Celebrity Theater and watched him live for the very first time. He invited two lucky ladies on the stage and proceeded to cook for them. He made a lovely rotolo with mushrooms and fresh ricotta and baked meat in a dough. He also mentioned wanting to start a "Fifteen" restaurant in Sydney a couple of times. After the show I headed to get Tobie's Caramelized Brioche with berries for my now ravenous tummy and I chanced upon Alistair MacLeod and Manu Fieldel being their charming, goofy selves at the Lindeman's Early Harvest Restaurant. Alistair joked whether I could stay with him all day because I made him feel really tall and they both let slip that Peter Everett actually wears a mask on Ready Steady Cook and that he needs make-up unlike them.
Manu Fieldel and Alistair Macleod say cheese.

After the scrumptious dessert, it was Gordon time. I sat in awe in the front row of the celebrity theater as he came on stage with a black tape covering his mouth, which he proceeded to rip off not so very gently. I have only watched him a couple of times on television and read about his bad boy persona everywhere. He was fun to watch, courteous, charming, knew what he was doing demeanour, funny with a smattering of light swearing and very cool. He cooked cod and tomato chowder, glazed salmon with spinach and radish salad and poached pears in mulled wine served with caramelized figs which he served very graciously to his 4 guests on stage. It all ended very quickly amidst Masterchef predictions, giveaways, some hilarious banter about how Gordon lagged behind in a marathon and taking potshots at Matt Moran who popped up on stage once.

Matt Moran's Raspberry Tart with Champagne Sabayon
Speaking of Matt Moran, after the show I headed back to get some luscious Raspberry Tart with Champagne Sabayon by the man himself and I had a brief encounter with two lovely ladies who let me get ahead in the queue. Later when I was sitting alone at a table for 4, I invited them to join me as there was no other empty seating anywhere in Lindeman's Restaurant. They did and we started chatting. It was then that I found out that they were Matt Moran's mum and aunt. What a lovely twist to my already fun day. I chatted with them about Matt and Aria and about countless random things. They were lovely and I spent a wonderful half hour with them.

Picture moment with Ben O'Donoghue
I watched Ben O'Donoghue's demonstration at the Barbeques Galore stall and instantly became shutter happy. Later when I was renewing my subscription at the delicious stall, I had a chance to speak with Ben and score a picture. He was most gracious and even larger than life in person than he is in his books and on television.

After a quick rotation throught the wine hall, tasting some glorious wines and some exquisite liquers, I was ready to leave with a huge bag of goodies. The Sydney Good Food And Wine Show 2009 was every bit what I hoped it would be. Can't wait until the next one!

Join us on our podcast each weekday for an interesting story, well told, from Charisma News. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.
News reports claimed three Christmas Day bomb attacks, two at a market in a Christian sector of Baghdad and a third near a church, killed at least 37 people and injured scores more. Here is a roundup of news coverage and the counterclaims that followed:
What Was Reported
Two bombs reportedly exploded on Wednesday in an outdoor market in a Christian section of Dora, in southern Baghdad. The blasts killed 11 and wounded 21, according to the Associated Press, which cited a police officer.
Soon afterward, a car bomb was said to have exploded near St. John Catholic Church, also in Dora, as worshippers were leaving a Christmas mass. News reports said the blast killed at least 26 people, and wounded a further 38.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
Were Christians Targeted?
It depends on who you ask. According to the Associated Press:
"The Iraq-based leader of the Chaldean Catholic Church, Louis Sako, said the parked car bomb exploded after Christmas Mass and that none of the worshippers were hurt. Sako said he didn't believe the church was the target."
However, according to Agence France-Presse:
"The attack targeted the church, and most of the martyrs are Christians," a police colonel told AFP. "The attack happened whenworshippers were leaving the church" after a service."
AFP initially cited an Iraq Interior Ministry spokesman, Saad Maan, as saying the car bomb targeted St. John church. Later, however, Maan reversed course:
" 'The attack was against a ... market and not a church,' Maan said, adding that 'the targeted area is a mix of Muslims and Christians.' "
In this BBC video, Rafid Jabboori of the BBC's Arabic Service explains that Christians in the Dora region have been the target of violence for several years:
Facts Disputed
In the days following the reported blasts, some of the facts have been disputed. Videos purportedly showing the bomb blasts were said to have featured Iraqis wearing summer clothes, though the country is experiencing a cold winter.
Meanwhile, a spokesman for the Chaldean Patriarchate said the reports of the church explosion were false.
Fr. Albert Hisham said "the explosion happened ... in the vicinity of the Souk of the Assyrians, not far from the police station, and therefore a distance from the church. ... We invite the media to be completely certain of the facts before rushing to publication, in order to avoid spreading fear."

A woman in Miami Beach who may have been trying to beat another driver to the gas pump lost control of her car, setting off a ball of fire.
Surveillance video from the Chevron gas station shows the moment around noon Tuesday when the female driver of a gold Jeep swerved in front of a yellow Hummer waiting in line for gas, according to local affiliate WPLG.
As the woman appeared to accelerate to beat the Hummer to the pump, she lost control of the car and instead slammed into the gas pump itself, sending it into a ball of flames.
Two women can be seen on the video running out of the SUV immediately after the explosion as other drivers waiting for gas and filling their tanks also moved quickly out of the way to escape the flames.
"When I looked outside, I saw the fire and I ran over to the pump stop button, and we escorted everyone out of the store," said store cashier Carol Smith.
Gas station employees and bystanders described the driver as being impatient in trying to reach the pump first, but the driver herself said it was all an accident.
"He started honking at me and I got nervous," the woman, identified as Gloria Ramos, told Miami Fox affiliate WSVN, referring to the driver of the yellow Hummer. "Instead of hitting the brakes, I hit the accelerator. That is when the accident occurred."
Ramos said she and her passenger feared for their lives.
"I tried to get out of the car but the door wouldn't open. I kicked the door and I was able to get out of the car," she said.
Firefighters who responded to the scene within minutes after the explosion were able to extinguish the fire before it spread. No one was injured in the incident.
Authorities have not said whether or not they plan to charge Ramos.
