Redfoo Admits He's Dating Tennis Star Victoria Azarenka + Denies LMFAO Breakup
Subscribe to PopCrush on
It's sort of hard to envision LMFAO's Redfoo with anyone by his side other than SkyBlu, but he's been collaborating with a lot of people since the duo took a hiatus. And it turns out he's also been cozying up to a lovely lady with a great backhand. The 'Shots' rapper and professional party rocker is dating tennis star Victoria Azarenka!
In a new radio interview, Redfoo comes clean about his love life and his music career. He began with yet another clarification about the status of LMFAO — are they ever going to reunite?
"I don't think it's in the immediate plans," he admitted, "but we're always reserving the right to do something. But I think we're just so into our own projects and our own situations," he explained. "It's just two different worlds."
As for his track 'Bring Out the Bottles,' which is thematically similar to LMFAO and even to SkyBlu's solo work, Redfoo said, "It's kinda normal — the DJ's playing, you're dancin', and all of a sudden, some rich dude — you know, he pays a lot of money — and he says, 'I want the champagne.' And champagne comes out, and sparklers come out — it looks like the Fourth of July, and the club is at a whole other level," he said mythically. "And then he doesn't even drink the champagne. He just sprays it on everybody."
At the end of the interview, Redfoo got extra excited. "I'm in love I don't care who knows it," he grinned. "With a special one. I got a special one. A No. 1, if you will … It's a special lady, and my whole world is different. She's a special one. She's the love of my life."
Redfoo wouldn't say who the lady was, but Bleacher Report noted that Redfoo has previously sung Azarenka's praises. In an interview with Australia's Channel 7 at the Australian open, he said, "I'm a big Vika fan as well. I'm supporting Team Vika. You know, I came here just to see her play. It's very exciting."
When pressed about whether they're an item, he got bashful. "I don't like to kiss and tell," he said. "But we're really close and she's a very special person and I'm very happy in my life right now."
That means yes. They're so cute, we can see why he'd brag!

Cast Album for Keen Company's MARRY ME A LITTLE Set for 9/24 Digital Release
Ghostlight Records has announced the release of MARRY ME A LITTLE - the New Cast Recording. The album, based on the recent hit production by The Keen Company and featuring the songs of Stephen Sondheim, stars Lauren Molina and Jason Tam. MARRY ME A LITTLEwill be available from digital outlets on September 24 and the disc will be in stores on November 19. For updates on the album, visit www.sh-k-boom.com/marrymealittle.html.
MARRY ME A LITTLE was conceived by Craig Lucas and Norman René, and directed by Keen Artistic Director Jonathan Silverstein. The production was nominated for a 2013 Drama League Award for Outstanding Musical Revival.
The album is produced by Joel Moss, with Kurt Deutsch serving as Executive Producer. The Musical Director is John Bell.
Weaving together several rarely-heard Sondheim songs, MARRY ME A LITTLE tells the charming and bittersweet tale of love, loneliness and survival of modern singles. Two strangers, left alone in their studio apartments on a Saturday night, pass their time with sweetly secret, shared fantasies, never knowing that they're just a floor away from each other and the end of their lonely dreams.
David Rooney in The New York Times said of this production: "No living Broadway composer's gifts have been more celebrated than Mr. Sondheim's. But it's a testament to his skills that the discards and remnants from which this show was stitched are more beguiling than so much of what passes for contemporary musical theater."
This recording contains material from Sondheim's catalogue that was added to MARRY ME A LITTLE for the first time as part of this production: "Ah,But Underneath" (written for the London premiere of Follies), replacing "Uptown, Downtown" and "If You Can Find Me, I'm Here" (Evening Primrose) replacing "Pour Le Sport," as well as "Bring on the Girls" (from Follies). The score also features "Saturday Night," "So Many People," "A Moment With You" (from Saturday Night), "Bang!," "Silly People" (cut from A Little Night Music), "Can That Boy Foxtrot!," "All Things Bright and Beautiful," "It Wasn't Meant to Happen," "Little White House," "Who Could Be Blue?" (cut from Follies), "The Girls of Summer" (from The Girls of Summer), "Your Eyes Are Blue" (cut from A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum), "Marry Me A Little," "Happily Ever After" (cut from Company), and "There Won't Be Trumpets" (cut from Anyone Can Whistle).

|Fırat Aydınus (TUR) in charge of Rubin - Chelsea (c) ZIMBIO
For professional Turkish referee Fırat Aydınus, it is the peak of a great season having started with the Champions League match between Bayern München and Valencia CF and resulting in handling a Champions League K.O. stage match as Elite Development referee (Juventus - Celtic).
As another sign of his comeback to the pool of the most promising European future referee, Croatian Ivan Bebek will get another chance to convince in Newcastle - Benfica, having already performed well in the sonorous Internazionale - Tottenham clash.
With Pavel Královec, UEFA has rewarded the next rising star of their refereeing: after four remarkable Champions League matches in this season, among others the Round of 16 match between Bayern München and Arsenal FC, he will have the honour to oversee the duel between Lazio and Fenerbahçe. He will be under a certain pressure, as Lazio heavily complaint about the referee performances in their matches, e.g. William Collum's decisions in Istanbul last week.
Last but not least, the most striking and surprising appointment of the entire matchday: Portugal's Olegário Benquerença will return to the big stage after his long absence due to injury after which he merely handled two UEFA club competition matches. It will be his second international match in 2013 though.
In a sum, UEFA's appointments fully make sense and are deserved rewards for the appointed officials, while Benquerença's presence stays a small surprise.

getting involved
Hi All, I am a software developer with loads of experience in old money development Vax VMS (some unix) Fortran, Pascal (bit of C & C++). I have been using linux at home for about 5 years now but not for development.
I desperately want to ramp up my skill set particularly with a bias to developing under linux. I had a look at the libre office development site and it looked a bit daunting.
Can anyone suggest any other open source projects which would be worth looking at as an introduction? I am trying to find a project which is not as complex as office but has a sympathetic dev team who could carry a newbie for a while.
My plan is to build libre office and then have a look at some of the C++ related tasks. If nothing else this gets me used to the tools involved.
Your asking for the world.
Developers are not capable of sympathy. There is no such thing. They do not have emotions.Emotions are not logical. How about a Source file from gedit or something else simple? I think there is a Kate , Kedit and Kwrite for KDE as well.http://www.google.com/search?q=Linux...c7b1769f792670
Java is not working. Imagine a smiley emotioncon here.
Maybe look at GNU PDF? It's quite a young project and they're looking for developers. I don't know what their team is like, but it might be worth a try. I'm interested in getting involved with that project myself, but I've just not had the time.
thanks Nylex. I had a look at that project this morning and I will at least try and set up a build environment on my PC. Who knows after that.
Anyway, back to the scary world of VMS Pascal where the things have gone pear shpaed today :(
You may want to take a look at SourceForge.net or freshmeat.net to find other projects. Other than that, I can't really offer any advice, I'm afraid. Hopefully others will contribute to this thread..

Sunday's Raptors loss against Houston definitely was a strange one. In another example of "that's why they play the games" what looked like an easy Raptors win – tired Rockets coming in after a listless performance in Chicago against a rested group looking to right things defensively a bit – turned into one of the worst losses of the season. Blowing an 18-point advantage at home is brutal and nobody on the Raptors looks good for it. That includes the coaching staff, which had perhaps its worst night of the season.
The weird technical on Dwane Casey really hurt the Raptors and the rotational decisions were way off, to a degree we haven't seen throughout the year.
James Johnson, who had been playing perhaps his worst basketball of the season over the past couple of weeks, was up for the challenge of checking James Harden and was the best player on the floor in the first quarter. He was much quieter in the second quarter and picked up two fouls, but again heled Harden in check (just four free throws as they matched minutes).
Now Harden did come to life against Johnson in a solid third quarter, but nowhere close to the way he erupted in the fourth (20 points). Johnson had done easily the best job on Harden all night, yet didn't see a minute in the fourth as Harden won the game basically on his own. It was baffling to see.
The argument probably was more offence was needed with the Rockets blitzing DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry like few teams have all year, but Johnson had already hit two three-pointers and handed out four assists. My counter would be the way Harden was torching you, better to try to put a cork in him even if your offence suffers at the other end.
In the long run, though, this could be a useful loss for a Raptors team that has been a bit of a mirage.
Many issues have been covered up by the seemingly non-stop parade of wins.
Chief amongst them has been a puzzling defensive cliff-dive. Toronto ranked seventh overall defensively at the end of January. Since, the team is better than only four clubs, four truly awful clubs at that (Los Angeles Lakers, Minnesota Timberwolves, Philadelphia 76ers and Brooklyn Nets).
This shouldn't be happening. If it continues, the Raptors could lose to any opponent in the first round. That would result in big changes, starting with surely letting Casey go (next year's contract is not yet guaranteed, even though he'd finish in the top five if a coach of the year vote happened right now) and possibly moving on from DeRozan, though that is extremely unlikely based on his connection with the fanbase and his ticket-selling ability as the face of the franchise, as well as his popularity amongst potential free agent additions.
Is this too much doom and gloom for a team that would still be .500 even if it lost each of the final 20 games of the season? Perhaps, but this season is all about what happens in late-April and in May. The most effective offence this side of the Bay is nice, but without any defence, the Raptors will not last long and any happy memories generated so far during this stirring campaign will quickly evaporate into the ether.
Besides the overall defensive issues, another source of moderate concern is the recent slippage of the bench. Cory Joseph and Patrick Patterson were as good as they have ever been in February, but the first week of March was rough for both of them. Terrence Ross has been active defensively, but the team really sizzles when he is making shots, and he's only hit at a 30% clip the past three games on a lot of attempts. Bismack Biyombo also hasn't been quite as much of a defensive terror. The bright side? Norman Powell and Lucas Nogueira have had some nice minutes when called upon and starter Luis Scola has his best outing since Jan. 3, looking like the Scola of early on, who was a key contributor.

Loss to Rockets a season low-light for Raptors, coaching staff includedRyan Wolstat - March 7th, 2016
Sunday's Raptors loss against Houston definitely was a strange one. In another example of "that's why they play the games" what looked like an easy Raptors win – tired Rockets coming in after a listless performance in Chicago against a rested group looking to right things defensively a bit – turned into one of the worst losses of the season. Blowing an 18-point advantage at home is brutal and nobody on the Raptors looks good for it. That includes the coaching staff, which had perhaps its worst night of the season.
NBA Trade Deadline Analysis: Houston Rockets trade Donatus Motiejunas and Marcus Thornton to Detroit Pistons for first-round pick (protected 1-8) and Joe AnthonyRyan Wolstat - February 18th, 2016
Grading the deal:
For the Pistons:
We're going to assume for the purpose of this analysis that the back issues that have plagued Motiejunas are not a long-term concern for Detroit and the Pistons are convinced he will be able to return soon (he hasn't played since December).
If so, this is a solid move for Stan Van Gundy, who is on quite a roll. Motiejunas is a versatile 7-footer that can score inside and out. He is good in the post, has range and is fine on the boards and defensively. Another nice piece to put beside Andre Drummond and Reggie Jackson (coupled with the addition of Tobias Harris).
If the Pistons falter and don't make the playoffs, the pick is protected in case it is a very good one. Most likely, it will be a 11-19 selection, which is fine, this draft is not considered deep. Thornton also can help, he's an improved defender from his earlier days and can heat up quickly.
Grade: B
For the Rockets:
This deal returns Houston a first-rounder and a shot to replace Motiejunas, who was extremely useful when he played. Without him, the team struggled and while his absence isn't the only reason, it's a little surprising that the Rockets gave him up. Still, they get a pick that probably is a bit higher than the 20th selection they used on him a few years ago, and can pay Terrence Jones as a restricted free agent instead of both of them.
The dollar savings will please ownership and the health issues have been frustrating.
Grade: C
Kyle Lowry might want a change of scenery – expect the Raptors to kick the tiresRyan Wolstat - May 26th, 2012
Rockets point guard Kyle Lowry doesn't sound like someone who would prefer to return to Houston next season.
On Friday, Lowry told Rockets beat writer Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle he can't see both he and unrestricted free agent Goran Dragic coming back.
Just a few weeks after surgery to fix torn abductor muscles and a sports hernia, Lowry told Feigen:
"I don't think so. I honestly think it would be tough. Things have to be addressed. The situation would have to be addressed.
"If things aren't addressed coaching-wise, I guess I have to be moved."
Lowry made it clear that he has undisclosed problems with head coach Kevin McHale. Though McHale and general manager Daryl Morey downplayed any issues, Lowry clearly is unhappy.
Morey told Feigen:
"I think Kyle and coach McHale are both winners and both competitive guys. "I don't anticipate any issues going forward."
At one point during the season, Lowry had to be restrained from going after the coach.
A tremendous defender and rebounder, Lowry averaged career highs of 14.3 points, 6.6 assists and 4.6 rebounds per game in 47 contests (In 38 starts, Lowry's numbers were 15.9 points, 7.2 assists and 1.8 steals per game). However, his injuries opened the door for Dragic, who averaged 18 points, 8.4 assists and 1.8 steals per game in 28 starts of his own.
Dragic is a far better shooter and finisher than Lowry, except for from three-point range and from the free throw line, where they shoot about the same. Lowry is an elite defender at the point guard spot and a better rebounder.
For his career, Lowry has averaged 10.4 points and 4.8 assists. Lowry has two very reasonable years remaining on his contract and will earn $5.75 million in 2012-1 and $6.2 million in 2013-14.
The Raptors are extremely high on Lowry, so there is little doubt – despite Morey's desire to keep Lowry in the fold – that he and Raptors GM Bryan Colangelo will discuss a Lowry deal. If that falls through the Raptors could instead pursue Dragic, though I do not know if he is a favourite of theirs like Lowry or not.
After Lowry burned the Raptors for a game-high 26 points (including 4-for-4 from three) in a three-point win in Houston, I asked Raptors head coach Dwane Casey what he thought of Lowry and Casey lauded the guard for his toughness and ability.
"He's a hell of a competitor. He's their heart and soul and spirit of their team and I love the way he plays," Casey said.
Long-time Raptor Alvin Williams, now a scout with the team, is extremely close with Lowry and is one of his mentors. Both are from Philadelphia and both played for Villanova. "Alvin is my main man," Lowry once said.
Complicating a potential deal would be the fact that Houston would have to be sure Dragic will re-sign long-term with the club to be its starter before opting to trade Lowry. That won't happen until July 1st, after the draft. It would likely be Toronto's pick – 8th before Wednesday's lottery – that Houston would be after. The Rockets own the 14th pick (again, pre-lottery) and the 16th. It's hard to see the Rockets wanting anything besides Toronto's pick in a potential Lowry deal since Jonas Valanciunas and Andrea Bargnani won't be on the table. DeMar DeRozan's advanced stats likely don't impress Morey, who is a huge believer in advanced statistical analysis.
Plus there's the fact other teams could make better offers. Lowry and Luis Scola nearly became Lakers last season in exchange for Pau Gasol and Gasol is very much on the block again and the Rockets have always coveted him.
As well, Lowry has had injury issues including a torn ACL early in his career and has an edge. He was charged with battery after being accused of throwing a ball at a female referee during the lockout. Lowry apologized, received 100 hours of community service and impulse-control counseling.
However, for years the Raptors have lacked extremely competitive, hard-nosed players and that's a major reason why they haven't had much success.
Unless Dragic says he's not coming back, Lowry's likely moving somewhere. Would he be OK with supplanting Jose Calderon as starter in Toronto if Calderon is still seeing considerable time, some of it in the same backcourt as Lowry? Who knows.
What we do know is he is not interested in splitting time with Dragic.
"We're both capable starters. We both want it. It's going to have to be a situation where they make a decision on one of us.
"It has nothing to do with Goran. I'm not happy with the way coaches handled things. If management wants to do something to keep Goran, I think I'll have to be moved," Lowry told Feigen.
"I think I'm still a foundation guy. You can build around me. If I'm not here, that's welcomed. If I'm here, I guess that's welcome, too."
Interesting stuff indeed.

Caribou Debuts Clear Coffee As April Fools Day Prank [Updated]
Did you fall for it? The day before April Fool's Day – social media was abuzz with stories and talk about a new coffee variety that Caribou Coffee was getting ready to debut on April 1.
The company announced that they were debuting Clear Coffee – a product that tastes like coffee and has all of it's usual caffinated-perks – only, it's clear – without the usual coffee/brown color. The story quickly made it's way around the web – from Facebook to Twitter – even Yahoo Finance.
But it's a prank – an April Fool's Day joke.
I guess what surprised me the most was the large number of news media sources that took the prank as truth and passed the story along to their readers.
Did they get you?

In the second installment of the Hap and Leonard series, Leonard is still nursing the injuries he sustained in the duo's last wild undertaking when he learns that his Uncle Chester has passed. Hap is of course going to be there for his best friend and offers to help clean Uncle Chester's dilapidated house, which Leonard has inherited.
There they uncover a dark little secret beneath the house's rotting floor boards - a small skeleton buried in a trunk. Hap wants to call the police. Leonard being a black man in east Texas, persuades him this is not a good idea, and together they set out to clear Chester's name on their own. The only things standing in their way is a houseful of felons, a vicious killer, and possibly themselves.

"Ghetto Mystery/Thriller"
Great story and characters. Very original, raw, and gritty. Takes place and has main characters that few mystery writers touch because the story is not about beautiful people, the darkside of the "good life", and the right side of the tracks. Raw language and subjects maybe a turn off for those wanting a easy escape. However for those that want something real, a story about a unlikely buddies, and original enviroments then this is it. Great reader also.
"Crazy,tested, gripping!"
The vernacular is perfect for this area I grow up here know this place. Great writing.
"A lot of people like this, it's just not for me."
I listened to more than half and then stopped. It's solving a mystery. Hap and Leonard are best friends. Leonard inherits a house from his estranged Uncle Chester. He asks Hap to live there with him and help him fix things. They discover a dead body. They believe the uncle left clues for Leonard about the murder. But the uncle had Alzheimer's disease so his mind was not clear. So the clues were not logical. For example one clue has something to do with books, so they figure out that they need to talk to a guy who drives a book mobile. I lost interest after that.
The set-up may interest some. Leonard is black and gay. Hap is white and straight. Hap has a sexual relationship with Leonard's black female attorney. She doesn't want to date Hap publicly because he is white, but she's happy to be in a private sexual relationship. Hap previously spent time in jail for refusing the draft during the Vietnam war.
The audiobook narrator Phil Gigante was good.

In the Beatles Anthology, the three still living Beatles at the time
and other insiders review the mythic story of the Beatles in their own
point of view.
Including every Beatle event imaginable like Shea Stadium or the Ed Sullivan show, George, Paul, and Ringo comment- along with John's comments from interviews before he died. It also includes interesting insight on many of the songs written- especially on the Sgt. Pepper songs, "Penny Lane", and "Strawberry Fields Forever"
Now, when on Monday it will have been three years since George passed, and nearly twenty-four since John's assassination, this documentary is an amazing way to remember the boys and everything they did and impacted the world with.
It also includes two unreleased songs, "Free As a Bird" and "Real Love", songs John wrote and the others collaborated on.
This documentary is the best to remember the Beatles by.
This is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth...so help me
God. The Beatles Anthology is historical, remarkable and I'm glad to have
seen it and own it before I die.
Miss you John and George and love you Ringo and Paulie-- and thanks for fulfilling my life with great music.
Having just finished watching this entire series I will keep this short
as it is as close to speechless I think I will ever become:
It's been said to me countless times of films that are well over two hours long. It's always something to the effect that the time just flies by and before you know it. . .it's over. I've never known that to be quite as true as it was for The Beatles Anthology. Each episode is well over an hour long, and there are eight of them, but it never seemed like there was a wasted moment. It progressed as eloquently as the band did itself, with ever scene and interview being a logical step forward.
I am a huge Beatles fan, but really didn't expect to like this. I'm not sure why I thought I wouldn't, but something just didn't seem right about it. I'm glad I didn't go with that feeling. It is truly awesome and congers up every emotion I think I'm capable of. I know plenty of people who are not Beatles fans, but I would encourage them to still give this a chance since it really is so much more than just the story of a band.
If you could roll the respective significance of `Citizen Kane,' `Gone
the Wind' and `Lawrence of Arabia' into one film, you might have somewhat
an idea what the Beatles mean to contemporary music.
Indeed, while Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly laid the
groundwork, the Beatles forever defined the musical and artistic
by which all future pop players would be judged.
Indeed, the DVD format has provided modern day audiences with a chance to
see why the Fab Four's legacy is something much more significant than a
history lesson. `The Beatles Anthology' (released April 1, 2003 on DVD)
picks up where the 2002-issued collector's edition release of `A Hard
Night' left off, providing more insight into the minds and music of the
that put Liverpool on the map.
In addition to the in-depth chronology taking viewers on a magical mystery
trip through the 1960s, new and never-before-seen material features
interviews with Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and the late George Harrison
Abbey Road Studios in May 1995 as they listen to classic Beatles tracks
producer George Martin. The jewel of the release is additional footage of
the three one-time mop tops jamming together in George Harrison's
DVD extras? You get them here. Indeed, the DVD release features a bonus disc featuring approximately 80 minutes of material more than the deluxe, eight-volume VHS release that expanded on the ABC special broadcast on Nov. 19, 22 and 23, 1995. Needless to say, all fans of rock music and 20th century pop culture should own this collection.
Someone had to make this mini-series, and who would be better than the
Beatles themselves ? For instance, who could tell with more
believability that George didn't like the album Sgt. Pepper that much
than George himself ? In this sense this anthology is very important,
because all the information comes directly from the Beatles themselves.
This DVD set contains additional comments by Niel Aspenall, and George
Martin that's never been seen elsewhere which reveals the back stories
about the production of Beatles' music, their earlier days on the road
etc. Watch this anthology with video "The Compleat Beatles", "Making of
A Hard Days Night" and "The making of Sgt. Pepper" (broadcasted, but
unreleased in video) you should get pretty much the whole picture of
the Beatles.
If I had one complaint about this DVD set, it's that the music is recorded so much louder than the voice track, and is difficult to find the right volume level to listen to. But of all the Beatles documentary videos that are out there, this one still is the best.
Four DVD and it features all that made the Beatles the only historical force in the world of rock.It does not pass over in silence the less glorious moments (for example the Philippine episode or the doomed let it be sessions) .Some will complain because Lennon's comments had not the "Threetles"' hindsight ,but was there another way to deal with that? The fifth DVD is less interesting but it's a bonus so why complain?Its the equivalent of the Anthologies 1,2 and 3 released on CDs in 1995-6 All the important groups and solo artists should have an anthology like this one.It goes without saying that only the greatest ones deserve it!
This is indeed the most comprehensive documentary (or
of the greatest band/artist of all time. Although the total length
the newly released 5-DVD box set lasts for more than 11 hours, it
doesn't feel like it! It doesn't drag a bit at all, and you will be
thoroughly entertained from beginning to end. This is essential,
only for all Beatles fans, but also for anyone with even a passing
in pop/rock music! This collection easily supersedes any previous Beatles
documentaries... including the fabulous "The Compleat
Beatles"(released in 1982), which is out of print anyways.
The Beatles were the center of the Pop Music universe for the eight years
they were actively recording, an anchor from which all other 60's music
radiates. If you are interested in how the best 14 albums ever made came
to be, you have to see the whole thing.
The story is told in the words of the Beatles themselves, and a couple others like George Martin and Neil Aspinall (their chief roadie). Along with footage from concerts and their movies, it's several interviews editted together, but you never hear the interviewers, you only hear Paul or George or Ringo or John's response to the question, and it comes together into a seamless history of the greatest band Rock and Roll ever knew.
The Beatles anthology fan-tastic perfect for any Beatles fan, i could watch the Beatles anthology over and over again and not get tired of it. Very interesting throughout with the Beatles themselves talking about what it was like being the center of Beatle mania. You must watch it if you havent already, if you have watched it again! 10 out of 10!
Amazing, I see the four figures on the TV screen and as usual when I see
them they I get very concentrated. The interviews are outstanding and all
the questions are satisfactory(to say the least) answered.
Paul, Ringo and the late John and George are so good that you wish that you were born in the fifties just so that you could see this band perform live. New things that I did not know of was said mostly about Ringo but some of the others too.
And the music is not so bad either

My Macmillan
My saved pages
Evening everyone
This is a new board for me as I'm normally over on the Lung Cancer board due to my mother, however, I'm seeking some advice here, if possible. A very lovely friend has been living with Stage 4 breast cancer which had spread to her bones. However, after 2.5 years of a combination of chemo and a holistic approach, had managed to actually get it into remission. However, rather shockingly (as she's been so well and with absolutely no symptoms) the breast cancer seems to have metastasised in her brain with 6-7 small tumours just found there. She's due to start whole-head radiotherapy next week as the first line of treatment, with gamma knife suggested as the second line. I just wondered if anyone had had any experience of breast cancer mets in the brain and if so what kind of treatment they may have been given? Or if anyone had had any experience of either of these forms of treatment?
Thanks very much in advance.
Hi Diane,
My mum went for whole head radiotherapy last December as her Breast Cancer metastasised into both of her lungs and then her brain (she was on Herceptin at the time), she was there once a day for a week (or 2 weeks, can't really recall without looking at my mum's notes). She never underwent gamma knife as our oncologist didn't recommend it as there were too many inside her brain (our oncologist didn't give us a precise number of mets but he said it was about a dozen) and may cause more harm than good.
The after effects of head radiotherapy is the usual hair loss (although my mum had her hair cut off already), vomitting/nausea and i've noticed since then that she has been a bit...'slower' than she used to be, which could just be because of the brain mets or a side effect from the radiotherapy in the head. We were told that if the brain mets grow again or the radiotherapy did not work, you cannot use radiotheraphy a second time in the head which was unfortunate for us but that's to be expected due to the side-effects. We weren't given any other alternatives or 'second line' for the brain mets as there is no chemo treatment that can bypass the blood-brain barrier.
Sadly, my mum passed away 3 weeks ago, it was very sudden. One day, she was up and about walking around and smiling, a few days later, her health just deteriorated rapidly, she couldn't move her legs, needed help going to the toilet, couldn't keep her eyes open, slurred speech, being forgetful, complaining about head aches and on the day she died, she was writhing around in pain because of it (our gp and district nurse saw my mum the day she died and only told her to take paracetamols), later that night, we went to the A&E hosptial which they then transferred us to the cancer hospital where she passed away in less than half an hour after being transported there (it was a cold night with light snow, my mum was wearing light nightwear and the ambulance was freezing cold inside and all they provided was a thin blanket). We were told by the nurses there that the trip was unnecessary (and imo, may have sped up her death with the poor way they moved her from the trolley used in ambulances to the bed in A&E and then to the trolley again and back to another bed in the cancer hospital in the freezing cold. My mum was already in a deep sleep from the morphine they gave her in A&E, and her neck was turning 80 to 120 degrees each time they moved/pushed her). It was upsetting seeing this and not being able to do anything.
Sorry, may have gone off on a tangent here, that last paragraph was just my experience from the poor handlings of people on the day my mum died.

Behind the ventriloquist heavy metal drummer
Little Italy marketing guy gets his act to the Brick
Ken Leighton 4 p.m., Sept. 20
(Page 2 of 9)
I might suspect some embellishment of the truth after the fact, so to speak, but even before tonight's event, Hackett had told me a story that her mother once told her. Before Hackett was born, it seems, her great-grandmother, on her deathbed, put her hand on her mother's stomach and said what her mother had not yet learned herself: "You are pregnant with a baby girl. I will watch over her always."
On this evening, however, Meredith also describes a dog with short brown hair, a curly white tail, and sparkling eyes sitting at Hackett's side and pawing her. This detail also causes her to tear up. She once had a golden retriever and St. Bernard mix named Brandi she dearly loved. "He described him to a T," she tells me. "I have a picture of him on my wall, and his eyes always sparkled. He was a happy dog."
Out of the blue, Meredith asks, "Who is Jimmy? I sense him coming in here. He is around about you a lot these days and is now standing with your grandmother next to you." Meredith is starting to wind up his conversation with Hackett, after which he will turn to someone else in the room. She cannot tell him who Jimmy is. "That's all right," he says, "but you might inquire a bit about him to your family."
And Hackett does. Her mother tells her the next day that Jimmy was her uncle but that he was killed in a car crash. "Oh, that Jimmy," Hackett said to her mother. She goes on to tell me, "I thought he was still alive. I've recently been talking to my husband about hiring someone to find him, because I wanted to talk to him and find out what my dad was like. So [through Meredith's mediation] that was my father's brother coming back to tell me he had already passed. Which I thought was pretty cool, because then I wouldn't get frustrated at trying to find this man." Hackett remembers Jimmy because when she was a little girl he had once given her a doll. He had already stepped in to help the family in the years after his brother had left her and her mother.
Before finishing, Meredith also mentions to Hackett a number of details about her life that ring true to her. Not having grasped their significance at the time, I rehash them with her several days later. "He told me that someone in my life takes a lot of chances," says Hackett. "I'm thinking that's my husband. He's 56, and he's got some illnesses, but he gets on his motorcycle and thinks he's an 18-year-old. And he drag races with his buddies. One will say, 'I'm faster than you,' and they'll pump it. It's a testosterone thing. But to me, that's dangerous. I look at it and say, 'Will you guys please grow up?' He doesn't take care of himself either. And I get on his butt. Then as he bites my head off because I'm acting like the wife where I'm not supposed to meddle, I leave him alone and say, 'It's your life.' But it's my life too. It's going to affect me directly.
"Chris [Meredith] told me about my childhood too," says Hackett, "that it was pretty crazy, no stability, that we moved a lot. God, did we move a lot. And then the house. He told me the back of my house was a total mess." The reason for the mess, says Hackett, is that she and her husband are remodeling. During the sluggish, frustrating process, they have been piling things in the computer room in the rear of the house.
"Then he said he saw a Catholic symbol next to me and that I was a recovering Catholic. In some AA meetings we joke around saying we're recovering Catholics, so that was right on. He also said I'm going to be involved in a nonprofit organization to help build something. That's for the future. He said things are going to get crazy in my life starting in three or four months."
I go to Window to the Spirit (donation, $15) on one other evening. Informally dressed in beige slacks and a polo shirt showing pleasant midlife girth, Meredith uses persuasive stories and humor to dominate the Healing Temple's audience of 18 women plus me (one additional man had come on the other evening). His fluid speech is occasionally interrupted (on both nights) by the hysterical laughter of a sixtysomething Hispanic woman sitting on the right side of the room. Meredith acknowledges several of the outbursts with glib retorts but moves on quickly.
He begins each evening of Window to the Spirit with a guided meditation to put his audience in a relaxed frame of mind. Then, as in Hackett's case, he spends the remainder of the two-hour service directly, and one at a time, engaging participants about their past, present, and future. During most of the conversations, he finds people and a few dogs from the spirit world standing as guides and companions next to those he is addressing. He brings out details of all kinds, ones concerning illnesses, careers, residence locations of relatives, dirty hands from gardening, kidding behaviors and personalities of those who have passed on, financial difficulties, suicides in the family, and childhood traumas. People commonly nod in positive response, but not always. Sometimes they even deny what Meredith is saying. In those cases, he says, it is possible that he is picking up from the spirit world details that actually belong to the lives of other people in the room. If we recognize that one of these details is our own, though he is speaking of someone else, he encourages us to speak up.
For weeks, I agonize over whether to ask Chris Meredith to act as a medium between me and my own father, who died in 1993. In the first place, I know my dad would have frowned on it, undoubtedly calling communication with the dead a lot of "hooey." By going ahead only to satisfy my curiosity, I feel I will be dishonoring him and the kind of no-nonsense approach to life that he stood for. But people change, Meredith tells me, especially after they have passed into the spirit world. "And anyway, if your father doesn't want to talk to you," he says, "he won't."

Plymouth, N.H.—Oni Buchanan, an award-winning poet and concert pianist will present the final reading in the 2009-2010 Eagle Pond Authors' Series at 7 p.m. April 20. The reading will be held in the Smith Recital Hall at the Silver Center for the Arts on Main Street in Plymouth.
Buchanan is the author of Spring, which was selected by Mark Doty for the 2007 National Poetry Series. Spring is also a Poetry Honors winner of the 2009 Massachusetts Book Awards. Judges wrote that Spring is "a work that grips down and awakens the very roots of the poetic process, that is still and still moving, a 'journeywork' as Whitman might have called it; a multidimensional text that will transform the way Buchanan's generation and future generations of poets approach poem-making."
Spring includes a Flash-animation CD of Buchanan's large-scale kinetic poem, "The Mandrake Vehicles" which she will perform at the Plymouth State reading.
What Animal, Buchanan's first book, was published in 2003. It was selected as a winner of the University of Georgia Press Contemporary Poetry Series competition.
Buchanan's poems have been selected for numerous anthologies and have been published in many print and online literary journals. Most recently they have appeared in the "New Orleans Review," the "Columbia Poetry Review," "Conduit," "Gulf Coast," "Copper Nickel," "Drunken Boat," jubliat" and "Seneca Review."
Among her many recent honors, Buchanan received the Stanley P. Young Fellowship in Poetry from the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference and she was named a Poetry Society of America New American Poet.
Buchanan holds a BA in English and music from the University of Virginia, and MFA in poetry from the Iowa Writers' Workshop and a master's degree in piano performance from the New England Conservatory of Music.
Free tickets are available at the Silver Center Box Office, (603) 535-ARTS, and readings often sell out. A book sale and reception will follow the reading.
The Eagle Pond Authors' series is named for former New Hampshire and U.S. Poet Laureate Donald Hall's ancestral home in Wilmot. Hall is cofounder of the series, which is presented by the Silver Center and supported by a generous grant from the Plymouth State University Bookstore and Follett Higher Education Group.

Panaji, Oct 27 (IANS) With over 45 designers including Wendell Rodricks and Rocky S are set to present their beach wear at the forthcoming Gionee India Beach Fashion Week 2015 (GIBFW), the coastal state, with balmy weather, will soon heat up.
With names like James Ferreira and Rocky S being chosen as the finale designers for day One and day two of the second edition of the fashion week, which will begin from October 29 at The Lalit Golf & Spa Resort Goa, the second edition of the three-day fashion event will be bigger and better than its previous season.
"It will be 100 percent bigger and better. There are 45 plus designers. The first edition had about 30 designers. We have a very good designer line-up this time. There are two categories – one is for the established ones that includes names like James, Rocky S, Wendell and Anupama Dayal. We are happy that we have them on board," Amyn Manji, co-founder and managing director, UVAR Global, which has conceptualised the fashion week, told IANS.
Rodricks will bring the curtain down on October 31.
The new edition will also see works of designers like Rina Dhaka, Babita Malkani, Asmita Marwah, Dimple Raghani, Urvashi Kaur, Dev R Nil, Manoviraj Khosla and Mayyur Girotra.
He also shared that there will be a "mix of new ones as well".
While one still has to wait for all their creations to be unveiled, fashionistas can expect models sashaying down the ramp in resort, swimwear and destination bride outfits at the gala.
Rocky S has put together a coalition of luxury and lavishness. The collection will also exude simplicity and elegance with a touch of sparkle. The combination of elegant embroidery with embellishment will be seen throughout the range.
"To me, clothing is a form of self expression. There are hints about…who you are in what you wear," he told IANS.
Rodricks will present his collection titled 'Ahead of the Curve' that celebrates the curved line on seams, hems, silhouette, style lines with minuscule details.
The collection will boast of impressive designs with blouses looping into arches, curved shaped trousers, tunics cut on a curve, kaftans with layered rings and sheer layers of semi-circle overskirts.
Ferreira, on the other hand, will be showing a new trend with a design inspired by Paul Christian's iconic art through ghagras, saris and kurtas coordinated with jackets, trousers and shirts.
The participating designers will also have the opportunity to connect with their buyers.
"There will be business of fashion arena where all the buyers can connect with designers," said Manji.
A display and sale arena 'Made in Goa' will be introduced for design talent specifically based out of Goa.
"We will be promoting local talent, art and handicraft through the arena. We are expecting about 25 participants," he said.
Though he said that the event will focus on business aspect of fashion, Bollywood faces like Evelyn Sharma and Richa Chadha are expected to walk the ramp in the final and most special piece, created by different designers, as showstoppers.
"We are not focusing on showstoppers though designers are free to get their showstoppers," he said.

William W. Pratz page 599 600 Biographical and Portrait Album Peoria County 1890
William W. Pratz, an enterprising and progressive farmer of Brimfield Township, owns and occupies one hundred and sixty acres on section 20. In the accumulation of property his efforts have been ably seconded by the prudent management and wise counsel of his wife whose loving heart and thrifty ways have made their dwelling place a true home. He himself has manifested unflagging industry, has pursued wise methods of cultivation and exhibited good judgment in determining what crops to raise and what stock to use and breed. He divides his attention between the cultivation of his fields and the raising of live stock, in both of which branches of agricultural work he is meeting with success.
Mr. Pratz is a native of Stark County, where his birth took place March 21, 1841. He is a son of pioneer settlers in that county whence they removed to Peoria County when our subject was about sixteen years old. I n common with other members of pioneer families, he received limited school privileges and early learned the industrious and self-reliant habits which prove such strong levers in moving circumstances to ones financial good. He grew to maturity in this county, supplying to some extent the deficiencies in his education by attendance at a private school. During the whole course of his life he has paid great attention to the news of the day and the topics presented for consideration in good books, and is therefore well informed on general subjects.
On the 29th of February, 1864, the name of W.W. Pratz was placed upon the muster roll of Company I, Seventy-seventh Illinois Infantry, which formed part of the Union army in the Department of the Gulf. The young man bore a gallant part in the sieges of Ft. Gaines, Ft. Morgan, Ft. Blakely and Spanish Fort, in the fight at Whistlers Station and in numerous skirmishes of minor importance. As one of the gallant band of privates upon whom fell the brunt of the struggle, he served until August 15, 1865, when he received an honorable discharge and returned to his home to again identify himself with the agricultural interests of the county wherin he has continued to reside.
A few months after his return from the fields of battle Mr. Pratz was united in marriage with Miss Mary C. Dey, a native of Warren County, N.J. born November 20, 1842. Her father, Dr. William B. Dey died in his native State, New Jersey when Mary was about seven years of age, and about three years later the widowed mother came to this part of Illinois with her family. She settled in Millbrook Township, Peoria County, and here Mrs. Pratz grew to maturity. She received a good practical education, and for a time was engaged in school teaching. Her marriage to our subject was celebrated January 17, 1866 and the union has been productive to them of eight children. The first born, Edith, is the wife of J.B. Sprowls of Elmwood. The others, who still remain with their parents, are Charles U., Fred D., Rowena H., Lois E.A., Carrie H., Clark A. and Gertie O. The eldest daughter and the two eldest sons have taught school.
In 1882 Mr. Pratz took possession of his present farm, a tract of land under excellent cultivation and bearing such improvements as make it a home of comfort and pleasing appearance. He has ever endeavored to assist in the movements which have been made to advance the interests of society and develop the material resources of this section of the fertile Prairie State, while at the same time bestowing upon his children every opportunity possible to gain knowledge and acquire habits which will fit them for honorable citizenship. He is now serving as Township School Trustee. In commemoration of his army life, he is identified with the Grand Army Post at Brimfield, and, it is scarcely necessary to say, votes the Republican ticket.
The parents of our subject were John and Sarah (Wetzel) Pratz, natives of the Keystone State, who for a time made their home in Ohio. They came to Stark County, Ill in 1837 securing one hundred and sixty acres of Government land, for which they paid the usual price of $1.25 per acre, and which they reclaimed from the raw prairie, making of it a productive, well-improved estate. In 1857 they removed with their family to Peoria County, making their home in Millbrook Township until called hence, the father, in 1862 and the mother in 1866. They had quite a large family of whom the deceased members are Elizabeth, Susannah, Mary C., Sarah and Stephen. The survivors are: Jonathan and John, who live in Stark County; Margaret, wife of G.M. hazen of Stark County; Isabella, wife of Josiah Jaques, of Millbrook Township; Sarah J. wife of A.R. Aten, of Round Rock, Tex; Emeline, wife of H.S. Jaques, of Millbrook township, and our subject. The father was a Republican in politics and a member of the Christian Church.
After the death of Dr. Dey the mother of Mrs. Pratz became the wife of A.D. Wycoff, who died several years since. The widow now past seventy years old, is kindly cared for by her children, under whose various roofs she spends such time as she desires. She bore her first husband five children, of whom the only survivors are Sarah, wife of Ezra G. Webster, of Upper Alton, and Mrs. Pratz. The deceased are Theodoric, Emma and William. The children of Mr. Wycoff are: Harriet E., wife of James Coe of Millbrook Township and Lydia A. wife of William Jaques, of Brimfield Township.

On the stand, TAP Biosystems' specialist team will demonstrate how the simple three step RAFT process of mix, make and measure simplifies the route to improved results from 3D experiments. They will show how scientists simply mix the reagents from the kit with their cells, pipette into 96-well plates and incubate on the plate heater for 30 minutes to form a cell-seeded collagen hydrogel. The RAFT plate is placed on the hydrogels, and in just 15 minutes the medium is absorbed gently, leaving cells "encapsulated" in physiological strength collagen, perfect for use in their cell-based assays.
TAP Biosystems' development scientists will also present a poster entitled "New platform technology for simple, consistent production of collagen-based 3D cell cultures for physiologically relevant assays". This details how using the RAFT system helps to create a realistic cellular environment to study cells' complex behaviour and gives scientists complete control over their experimental parameters, including choice of cell types and cell seeding densities. The 3D cell cultures produced are ideally suited to cell-based secondary screening applications using a range of analytical techniques, such as cell proliferation assays and fluorescence imaging.
Dr Grant Cameron, TAP Biosystems' RAFT Development Director stated: "There is an increasing interest in using 3D cell culture models for drug discovery because working with a more realistic cellular environment has the potential to improve compound selection. This is why we're pleased to show our new RAFT system at 3D Cell Culture".
Cameron continued: "Unlike other technologies, RAFT can deliver a range of collagen-based, reproducible 3D cell culture models that could provide more physiological relevant responses in for example, oncology and stem cell research. We look forward to welcoming scientists to Stand 2 and to demonstrating how RAFT's simple, convenient workflow could make it possible for them to routinely incorporate 3D cell cultures in their screening programmes."

What do the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo and CES conventions have in common? Dick Tracy.
I say that because, in the adult world, Dick Tracy would make a great name for a porn star. Maybe it already is – Dick Tracee or something – but I'm not going to be caught trying to Google "Dick Tracy male porn" even if I am writing this from the AVN AEE press room. So, for the record, Dick Tracy would be a great porn name even if it is already so.
But Dick Tracy is relevant at CES because, this afternoon, I actually found a watch-phone that performs all the tasks that Tracy's famous wrist radio performed in the old comic strip. In fact, when some of the more, shall we say, mature conference attendees happened upon the gadget at the LG Electronics booth at the Las Vegas Convention Center's Center Hall, many said, "Hey, that's just like Dick Tracy's wrist radio!" And it is. This is one product I can actually see myself using, all the time.
It's the first market-ready (which I take to mean, "Johnny-ready") Touch Watch Phone. It's a graduated model of a prototype that LG Electronics debuted last year. "It's one of the most innovative products at the show this year," said Marc LaBelle (hey, a phone-type surname!), who is a field product trainer for LG.
The Watch Phone scales all off the features available in the most advanced models of mobile phones down to watch-sized sized scale. You can speak into it, as Tracy did, or use a BlueTooth connection. To quote directly from the company's new news release about the product, the features include "its Flash Interface, MP3 player, Voice Calling, Text messaging and Text to Speech." Text to Speech is a function that speaks a text message to the recipient so he/she (or, in this case, Johnny) does not try to read the message off his wrist while driving at high speeds in his Mazda 6. The device also offers two-way video conferencing capabilities and, we expects, keeps OK time, too.
The phone is set to go on sale in Europe sometime in the second half of this year. No price has been set and there are no firm plans for U.S. distribution just yet, as the model will be "bugged out" on the European market before Americans can wrap their wrists with it. That's fine – Dick Tracy would approve, anyway.

NEWPORT, R.I. — It would be no surprise to find USF center Sampson Genus putting in extra time in the weight room, as the senior is arguably the Bulls' strongest player, able to bench-press a team-best 455 pounds.
But offensive line coach Steve Shankweiler was in the weight room this summer when he looked out the window and saw the 318-pound Genus running in the midday heat.
"It's 2 o'clock in the afternoon, it's about 98 degrees, and he's out there running by himself with a stopwatch, timing himself," Shankweiler said. "No coaches around, and later I grabbed him and said, "Didn't you get enough work this morning?' He said, "Coach, I've got to do all the things I can do."
Genus is in Newport today with quarterback B.J. Daniels and first-year coach Skip Holtz, representing USF at the Big East preseason media gathering. Of eight Big East schools, there are only five offensive linemen in Newport. But after earning second-team all-conference honors last year, Genus can show he's one of the league's best.
"This time of year, everybody's writing big articles about everybody, but this kid, there's something special about his commitment to football and his football team," Shankweiler said. "He's a very unusual kid in that respect."
Genus, 22, was excited about Monday night's famous clambake, where the lobsters didn't have much of a chance ("I can eat a couple of them," he said) and the publicity reminds him just how far he has come. Genus came to USF from tiny Lake City, a quiet city of about 12,000, where he grew up with a love of cooking more than any sport.
"I come from a little old country town. I never really pictured myself doing this," said Genus, who will graduate in December, needing just 31/2 years for a degree in criminology. "Football wasn't really a big thing in my head."
And if Monday brought together football and good food, that's fitting for Genus, who can barbecue just about anything and has a grilling rivalry with defensive tackle Terrell McClain. Genus spent a year on the defensive line, starting five games as a sophomore before moving back to center last fall.
Genus has entrenched himself there, and Shankweiler said his quickness off the snap might be the best he has seen in 28 years of coaching college offensive lines. USF will likely have three seniors and two juniors starting on the line, so there's no shortage of experience, but Shankweiler said Genus stands out as a leader.
"It goes beyond just the line," he said. "The kid has earned the respect of everybody in that locker room, regardless of position."
As the Bulls work to develop a more traditional running game in Holtz's new offense, that commitment starts with the line, and Genus likes to hear that USF wants to establish the run.
"It should be one of our strengths, because we have some big powerful guys up there," Genus said.
USF has had one offensive lineman drafted — Kenyatta Jones in 2001 — but Genus has a chance to become the second with another season of steady progress. Last year, then-offensive coordinator Mike Canales called Genus USF's "bellcow" — the cow wearing the bell, the herd leader, the one you listen for to know where the group is going.
"It means you're leading the charge," Genus said. "It ended up sticking with me."

Jesus at the Margins- Meals as Maps
When Jesus broke bread, he broke Israel. With his meal-time habits, Jesus was boldly speaking a new language and scandalously introducing a new world.
USAmerican culture has gutted the social significance of daily meals. With innovative TV dinners and ubiquitous fast food chains, we eat like we live: with a sound and fury signifying nothing. Occasionally we are seated at a table with 3 forks, 3 glasses, two spoons and two knives and we freeze up. This is no ordinary meal. Which fork do we use first? A china plate with 3 long green beans with a "glaze" on them and a piece of meat the size of a postage stamp with a purple flower next to it shows up. We mutter, "Who needs 3 forks for this?" We begin to fantasize about a happy meal.
In Jesus' day a meal was a controlling cultural map. Who was eating with whom? Where? What? And who was in charge? All this said something significant about social relationships. An iron-clad social code was telegraphed. It was what anthropologists call "the language of meals."
Are you one of us or one of them? Every meal in Jesus' day was an answer to that question. Meals portrayed legitimate and illegitimate social relationships. "This man (read "scum bag") welcomes 'sinners' and eats with them" (Luke 15:1-2). Who was clean and unclean? Who was pure and who was polluted? Meals answered these questions.
Add to this Israel's history with God around meals—complaining about water and quails—eating and drinking at the golden calf—picking manna up daily—the periodic holy feast days—staying pure in Babylon (Daniel and his friends)—you get the picture. In Israel your meal-time habits showed whether you were close to or far from God. The "Lord's Table" was every meal you ate…or it was not His table.
Meals kept tribes together, clans united, families bonded, a nation identified. Meals were expressions of law-keeping or law-breaking. Right "eatingness" was really close to godliness.Enter radical pastor Jesus and his new code. There's a startling new table in town and with it came Jesus' meal-time, good news message. He was subversively, non-violently redrawing Israel's cultural-spiritual map. He offered new, happy redefinitions of who is pure and who is polluted. He did not have to say a lot. All he had to do was host a meal and break the bread and pour the wine. By these actions Jesus literally broke Jewish society apart, even family members had to chose (or not) to be in the new social structure Jesus was creating (see Matthew 10:34-39).
Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you. For John came to you to show you the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did. And even after you saw this, you did not repent and believe him."
Jesus said, "I say to you that many will come from the east and the west (i. e., despised Gentiles), and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
Jesus said, "The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, 'Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and 'sinners.'"
Jesus, then, by his meal-time associations reconfigured the kingdom of God for all to see. He was amazingly courageous and intensely controversial. I wonder if most of his followers developed ulcers. "Can you believe what he is doing?" I hear Peter saying to John. "We are all going to die."
Every meal Jesus ate in his ministry was a transformative expression, a here and now enactment of the presence of the kingdom of God. Grace: amazing, gutsy, pass-the-potatoes grace.

[Giveaway] Disk Drill: File Recovery App That Lets You Undo Delete On Your Mac
We last reviewed Disk Drill in 2010, when the app was still in its infancy and was free. Since then, the Disk Drill for Mac has added new features and introduced a pro version, in addition to a free one, of their file recovery app. The app isn't just a recovery app; it also provides file protection for important files, letting you choose specific folders or drives to protect. Among the noteworthy new features is the deep scan algorithm that allows you to recover more files, Guaranteed Recovery, which allows you to undo the file delete action. The app can also search for partitions that you may have lost due to formatting.
Note: Disk Drill is a paid app costing $90. AddictiveTips is giving away five licences for this wonderful tool to 5 lucky readers, details for which can be found at the end of this post.
When you first launch the app, you can go through the product tutorial or revisit it later. The app's home screen gives you two options, Protect and Recover.
Let's start off with Protect. You can pick which drives you want to protect. The app, by default, shows hard disk drives (internal & external), but you can view mounted DMGs as well. Select any one drive and click the little blue shield button infront of Recovery Vault Protection to turn on protection for the drive. Click Advanced to add folders (by default, the Users folder is added) that are to be protected. Follow suit to turn on Guaranteed Recovery, which will allow you to undo a delete file action.
To recover lost or deleted files, click the Recover data button at the top to switch to recovery mode. The app will scan for recoverable file types, which can take quite a while to complete (even more than an hour, depending on the total size of files you have to recover). It will then list file types that can be recovered. Select which type of files you want to recover (check the option box next to a folder) and click Recover. You will be asked to chose a destination for recovered files. Once recovery is complete, click Destination folder to open and view files.
To manage what kind of files Disk Drill recovers and protects, go to the app's preferences and select the file types that you want to protect. To enable S.M.A.R.T. monitoring for you disks, go to the S.M.A.R.T. tab in preferences and chose which disk you want to enable it for. You can password protect the software from the Security tab, and choose which items should be hidden when displaying disks, i.e. mounted images, external drives etc.
The app has definitely come a long way over the past two years, and while a free version is still available, functionality is limited. The pro version costs $90.

Algeria's Berbers Stage Anti-Government Protest
Several thousand people staged a protest march Thursday in Algeria's northeastern city of Bejaia against what they claim is oppression by the government of ethnic Berbers, witnesses said.
The marchers, who wound through the city center under a blazing sun, carried placards denouncing "repression" by the security forces during weeks of riots mainly in the Berber homeland of Kabylie between late April and early June.
They later staged a rally in the center of Bejaia, some 250 kilometers (154 miles) east of Algiers, where after they dispersed without incident, witnesses told AFP.
Riots first broke out in Kabylie after the death in police custody of a Berber youth on April 18.
During weeks of riots, the Berbers, who have long resented perceived cultural discrimination, have demanded that the national police, the gendarmerie, leave the region, but the authorities have refused.
Berbers and other indigenous north African communities make up about a third of Algeria's population of 31 million, which daily contends with housing shortages, a declining standard of living and an unemployment rate of 30 percent.
The Berber unrest has found an echo among impoverished mainstream Arab Algerians, who have taken to the streets in the hundreds of thousands in several towns outside Kabylie – Albawaba.com

Jessica Simpson's pregnancy must be one of the most talked-about pregnancies in the history of Hollywood. From the early bump-spotting to celebs counting down to the birth at the end, there's been no shortage of things to talk about when it comes to Jess and her unborn baby.
Although she officially announced her baby-on-board status at Halloween, bloggers were already abuzz with the news weeks beforehand, her growing bump giving her away early. Since then, she's told us all about how she's feeling, including details of her sex life with partner Eric Johnson, and has bared all for a naked photoshoot.
Even now, as her pregnancy nears its end, we're learning more about the star and her pregnancy. Here's a list of the latest Jess moments to tide us all over before she gives birth.
Her baby shower had a Charlotte's Web theme
Held on March 18, the baby shower was attended by celebs including Jessica Alba and her daughter Haven, Ellen Pompeo, and Jessica's sister Ashlee and her son Bronx. The guests reportedly snacked on Twinkies and Fried Oreos, favourite foods of the mum-to-be. Jess later posted a short video of the party on video-sharing site Vimeo.
The baby will be called Maxi
Jess told Elle magazine that the couple had chosen a "nontraditional" name for their daughter, but that it will be "nothing shocking and nothing you'll have to add to the dictionary."
A friend later revealed that the baby will be called Maxwell – Maxi for short. A large glowing 'M' on the wall at the baby shower suggests this may be correct. Maxwell is Eric's middle name, as well as the maiden name of his grandmother.
Everyone's wondering how much longer the pregnancy will last, including other celebs
Here at Essential Baby we've been waiting for the baby's birth for a while now, and it seems we're not the only ones. Some people have suggested the star has already given birth and is hiding until she's ready to face the media, but Jess herself tweeted last week, "To everyone who keeps congratulating me on the birth of my baby girl… I'm still pregnant!! Don't believe what you read ladies and gents."
I'm still pregnant!! Don't believe what you read ladies and gents
Now Katy Perry has added her voice to the conversation, tweeting, "Has Jessica Simpson had that baby yet?! I'm getting anxious." Not yet Katy … not yet.
Her pregnancy weight has been discussed by everyone from Sarah Palin to Snooki
Jess's weight seems to have always been a topic of public conversation, with even President Obama once commenting on a magazine cover that showed the star in an unflattering pair of jeans. The trend has continued now she's pregnant, with several American TV hosts commenting on the star's pregnancy weight gain. In addition, the newly pregnant Nicole Polizzi (aka Snooki), of MTV's Jersey Shore, has said, "I would die if I were [Jess's] size."
But Jess has her defenders: Sarah Palin, politician and mum of five, said, "I would have wanted to punch [Jessica's critics] in the neck. It's none of anybody else's business how much weight I would gain." Tori Spelling, a mum of three with another on the way, agreed, saying, "When women are pregnant, people need to lay off. It's a really special time and you should be able to deal with it in your own terms."
Fashion still has a big place in her life
Jess has worn kaftans for much of her third trimester, and is even dreaming about them; in late April she tweeted: "I just woke up from a dream that I wore a leopard caftan in the hospital. Fabulous!! Now I need to find one!"
Flowing garments aside, there's one thing she's really missed wearing: high heels. Once joking that she would give birth in her favourite four-inch YSL heels, she eventually had to give them up in pregnancy. But it won't be long before she's back into them – she's said, "I can't wait for the day I can walk in heels again! My feet feel homesick!"
So when will Jess give birth? We'll let you know as soon as we hear ...

How often have we heard the dreaded words, "Are we there yet?". Now the iPad comes to the rescue. It has not only changed the way we carry our files, pictures and movies, it has revolutionised the way we travel with kids. Instead of carrying half a dozen tattered children's books, games consoles, cassettes, spare batteries and a puzzle book or three, all it takes is one slick device slipped into the hand-luggage, and everyone—from your toddler to your 10-year-old—will be kept entertained from door to door. Here's our guide to the best apps to keep your little ones occupied away from home. Just don't forget the charger...
0-4 YEARS Kids are never too young to play with an iPad. The touch screen is infant-friendly and tough. You might get tomato soup on it, but that's nothing this design masterpiece can't handle! Alphabet Fun: This game uses animal pictures to teach kids the alphabet. Different levels continue to keep kids challenged. Dr Seuss's ABC: The classic Dr Seuss books are now available on the iPad, with options for your child to either be read to or to read the book themselves. iWriteWords: This interactive app uses a little crab to teach kids to write by tracing numbers and letters.
5-8 YEARS By this age kids are remarkably tech-savvy and know how most gadgets work. They also have fabulous hand-eye coordination and super-swift reflexes, so pick apps that retain their interest. Bookworm: This game teaches kids to build words by linking letters. It's a great learning tool that is also extremely engaging. Drawing Pad: Let your kids doodle, draw or paint away—without all those messy art materials. They will love the eraser feature, which magically deletes any mistakes.
9-12 YEARS Pre-teens need no encouragement to play with your iPad; your challenge is to drag them away from social networking sites, so apps need to be doubly fun. Angry Birds: An addictive game where little coloured birds wreck their revenge on a flock of pigs. More fun than it sounds! PAC-MAN: The classic game of the '80s has been re-released for the iPad.
All apps are available from the iTunes store (www.itunes.com)

Sorry for the blurry pic, but the first reason I ask is because there are numbers printed on the side of the game box itself where it opens up.
Over the box, instructions and disc there is both English and what I believe is French. This makes me think that maybe this is coming from Canada? But since this is a small title that barely made it to market perhaps they just did the multiple language thing to cover all of their North American bases?
Then the construction of the case concerns me. I thought Nintendo switched over to the recycled cases with the recycle arrow punch through on front of the box and whatnot. But here, that isn't the case and this is a recently released game. Secondly, the case material doesn't feel like the usual plastic. It feels like some kind of recycled plastic composite.
But it does have the official Nintendo Wii logo etched into the case, making me think this is legit.
So to get to the point of all of this: Did anyone else here purchase The Kore Gang in America?
If so, did the box, instructions, and disc have multiple languages on it?
Did your box have those numbers printed along the edge where it opens?
Or did I get sent something from Canada?
Thanks for any help anyone can give.

In Japan, death penalty is admitted under the law. I agree with it. Almost all of prisoners condemned to death had comitted the murder. I can never forgive the homicide. The murderer mustn't be forgiven. The murderer should make atonement for his sins with his life for a victim.
My friend objet to the death penalty.
He said , " I think that a criminal can't atone for a crime by death.
It is true atonement that a criminal reflect on what he commited a crime.
So I object to the death penalty "
What do you think ?

Oreo Sets, Loses World Record
Oreo, the company behind the classic black and white cookie, began a campaign to ear the world record for the "Most Likes" on a Facebook post in 24 hours."
They launched the campaign on Tuesday morning, and on yesterday, Guiness World Records confirmed that Oreo had secured the record with 114,619 "Likes" to a single post. Shortly after the Oreo post surfaced, rapper Lil Wayne announced that he was also going after the Guinness World Record for most Facebook likes in 24 hours.
At the end of the 24-hour period, Oreo had 114,619 likes; five hours later, when the rapper's 24-hour period had expired, his post had 588,243 likes, easily trumping Oreo's bid for the Guinness World Record.
The company was still honored for its brief record in a Guinness ceremony yesterday morning.

Ealhmund of Kent
b.762 Wessex, England
d.aft 784
Family tree▼
Facts and Events
Ealhmund was King of Kent in 784.
The only contemporary evidence of him is an abstract of a charter dated in that year, in which Ealhmund granted land to the Abbot of Reculver. By the following year Offa of Mercia seems to have been ruling directly, as he issued a charter without any mention of a local king.
There is a general consensus that he is identical to the Ealhmund found in two pedigrees in the Winchester (Parker) Chronicle, compiled during the reign of Alfred the Great. The genealogical preface to this manuscript, as well as the annual entry (covering years 855–859) describing the death of Æthelwulf, both make king Egbert of Wessex the son of an Ealhmund, who was son of Eafa, grandson of Eoppa, and great-grandson of Ingild, the brother of king Ine of Wessex, and descendant of founder Cerdic, and therefore a member of the House of Wessex (see House of Wessex family tree). A further entry has been added in a later hand to the 784 annal, reporting Ealhmund's reign in Kent.
Finally, in the Canterbury Bilingual Epitome, originally compiled after the Norman conquest of England, a later scribe has likewise added to the 784 annal not only Ealhmund's reign in Kent, but his explicit identification with the father of Egbert. Based on this reconstruction, in which a Wessex scion became king of Kent, his own Kentish name and that of his son, Egbert, it has been suggested that his mother derived from the royal house of Kent, a connection dismissed by a recent critical review.[1] Historian Heather Edwards has suggested that Ealhmund was probably a Kentish royal scion, whose pedigree was forged to give his son Egbert the descent from Cerdic requisite to reigning in Wessex.

Bon Mi
Jennifer Richardson of KEZI 9 News recently wrote an article about Bon Mi, explaining that it's owned by a Korean and French couple, which pays tribute to the historical intermingling of French cuisine and Vietnamese cuisine, particularly French cuisine's introduction of bread to Vietnamese dishes. Bookended by baguette halves, the restaurant's traditional bahn mi sandwiches come stuffed with sliced grilled meats, pickled veggies, housemade aioli, and asian dressings. The menu showcases café standards such as a ham-and-gruyere sandwich on a baguette or a croissant alongside Vietnamese pho soup swimming with noodles and bits of steak.
