Stewart vs. O'Reilly vs. the decline of traditional (white) America
In a longish, and much more serious than usual, jeremiad on last night's Daily Show, Jon Stewart used Bill O"Reilly's tirade against the decline of "traditional America" (a barely-coded reference to white America) to contrast with earlier similar laments by the establishment when they feared that America was being taken over by previous groups of outsiders, like the Irish and the Catholics and the Jews. Saith Stewart: Twas ever thus (see below):

The 50's were a time when the US was the sole industrial super-power, not embarrassed or entangled by those pesky other countries and their rising productivity and striving for self-determination. It was more a unipolar world than a bi-polar world, especially with respect to the good things in life. A tobacco company could unashamedly have a man in a white coat on TV tell you how smoking helps his throat. All messaging was filtered and controlled, and directed to increase the satisfaction of the majority demographic.
"Turn back the clock" is the desire of the Republican party.
Their increasing irrelevance rests on the delusion that they, and a majority of voters, want to, can, and WILL do that.

Bomb drill turns into panic as police believed it to be real
Steve Watson
May 19, 2011
The TSA was at the centre of another unnecessary panic late last week when the agency failed to notify police that it was conducting a drill involving a man attempting to get a bomb through security lines.
Police surrounded the man at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport after a screener identified an apparent explosive device.
The area was evacuated by the cops, who believed the incident to be real and drew their guns on the man.
TSA officials then notified the police that the incident was part of a routine drill, and apologized for the "miscommunication".
"I think a lot of people were alarmed," Patrick Hogan, spokesman for the Metropolitan Airport Commission, said of last week's incident. "There is always a danger that someone could have gotten hurt. It was unfortunate."
The TSA says it is reviewing the incident.
Stock up with Fresh Food that lasts with eFoodsDirect (AD)
Critics of the agency will point to the fact that it is somewhat remarkable that the screener even spotted the suspicious device, given the agency's monumental security failure rate.
TSA agents are now so busy groping and irradiating airline passengers that they are routinely missing the presence of bombs and guns in both tests and live situations.
After ABC News recently covered the story of an Iranian/American businessman expressing his disbelief at being allowed onto a flight with a loaded handgun, it was widely reported in the media that such TSA failures were commonplace.
It was noted that screeners detect less than 30% of the knives and guns that officials try to sneak through security in tests. Failures to detect explosive material and bomb parts were also disturbingly high, according to the reports.
This underscores how the newly enhanced and invasive TSA security procedures are pure theatre and actually do nothing to make anyone safer. Indeed, it may be argued that the procedures are putting fliers in more danger as screeners are spending more time groping people and ordering them through x-ray body scanners than checking for potentially dangerous items in their hand luggage.
The TSA then attempted to claim that the reported security failures were "all misleading" and "outdated", claiming that the figures cited were taken from tests carried out in 2004-2005.
Yet this was revealed to be outright lies.
As highlighted by The Economist's business travel blog:
The ABC News report Gulliver linked to last month didn't rely on 2004, 2005, or 2006 numbers—it referenced "a person briefed" on "the latest tests" who said they have a failure rate of 70%.
In addition, TSA head John Pistole made the following comments less than a month ago during an interview on Good Morning America:
"… unfortunately, [undercover testers] have been very successful over the years. And one of the findings is that we have not been thorough enough. And the concern obviously is, if that's an Abdulmutallab — a Christmas Day bomber — who is doing it rather than an undercover agent, then that can have catastrophic results."
In addition, the TSA is still withholding the latest results of its official security tests, despite repeated requests to release the information under the Freedom of Information Act.
The Department of Homeland Security has classified the results of the most recent random, covert "red team tests," where undercover agents try to see what they can get past airport security. The reason they have done so is presumably because the results have been so shockingly and consistently bad for the past nine years.
If the figures had improved significantly then you can rest assured that the TSA would be forcing them down our throats as justification for enhanced airport tyranny, rather than declaring them top secret and locking them away from public view.
As The Economist's Gulliver blog states "the agency can't have it both ways. If TSA officials are going to imply that the situation has improved since the last inspector general and GAO reports were leaked to the press, they should prove it."
However, it seems the agency would rather send out an anonymous blogger named Bob to attack anyone who points out the absurdly obvious where the TSA's security theatrics are concerned.
Once again this shows that the TSA and Homeland Security are willingly resorting to outright lies in a pathetic attempt to bolster their ailing control agenda. Those making official statements on behalf of the legions of strip search goon squads clearly have little regard for the safety of Americans.

E3 2005 - Day 2: More Details Emerge on Console GPUsby Anand Lal Shimpi on May 19, 2005 1:24 PM EST
- Posted in
- Trade Shows
This year's E3 has been, overall, a pretty big letdown. The show itself hasn't been very interesting simply because it's mostly current-gen titles and hardware. For the E3 just before the launch of Microsoft's Xbox 360, we were a bit disappointed not to see any working hardware at the show outside of the ATI booth.
With a relatively light schedule thanks to the small size of the show, we were able to spend quite a bit of time digging deeper on the two highlights of this year's E3 - ATI's Xbox 360 GPU, and NVIDIA's RSX, the GPU powering the PlayStation 3.
Given that both of the aforementioned GPU designs are very closely tied to their console manufacturers, information flow control was dictated by the console makers, not the GPU makers. And unfortunately, neither Microsoft or Sony were interested in giving away more information than their ridiculously light press releases.
Never being satisfied with the norm, we've done some digging and this article is what we've managed to put together. Before we get started, we should mention a few things:
1) Despite our best efforts, information will still be light because of the strict NDAs imposed by Microsoft and Sony on the GPU makers.
2) Information on NVIDIA's RSX will be even lighter because it is the more PC-like of the two solutions and as such, a lot of its technology overlaps with the upcoming G70 GPU, an item we currently can't talk about in great detail.
With those items out of the way, let's get started, first with what has already been announced.
The Xbox 360 GPU, manufactured by ATI, is the least PC-like of the two GPUs for a number of reasons, the most obvious being its 10MB of embedded DRAM. Microsoft announced that the 10MB of embedded DRAM has 256GB/s of bandwidth availble to it; keep this figure in mind, as its meaning isn't as clear cut as it may sound.
The GPU operates at 500MHz and has a 256-bit memory interface to 512MB of 700MHz GDDR3 system memory (that is also shared with the CPU).
Another very prominent feature of the GPU is that it implements ATI's first Unified Shader Architecture, meaning that there are no longer any discrete pixel and vertex shader units, they are instead combined into a set of universal execution units that can operate on either pixel shader or vertex shader instructions. ATI is characterizing the width of the Xbox 360 GPU as being 48 shader pipelines; we should caution you that these 48 pipelines aren't directly comparable to current 16-pipeline GPUs, but rest assured that the 360 GPU should be able to shade and texture more pixels per clock than ATI's fastest present-day GPU.
Now let's move on to NVIDIA's RSX; the RSX is very similar to a PC GPU in that it features a 256-bit connection to 256MB of local GDDR3 memory (operating at 700MHz). Much like NVIDIA's Turbo Cache products, the RSX can also render to any location in system memory, giving it access to the full 256MB of system memory on the PS3 as well.
The RSX is connected to the PlayStation 3's Cell CPU by a 35GB/s FlexIO interface and it also supports FP32 throughout the pipeline.
The RSX will be built on a 90nm process and features over 300 million transistors running at 550MHz.
Between the two GPUs there's barely any information contained within Microsoft's and Sony's press launches, so let's see if we can fill in some blanks.

Major new hardware announcements and details from the big three console manufacturers. This is the most exciting E3 that I can remember (I just read about it; never actually been to the show).
Plenty of upcoming titles have been announced and discussed as well. Were the previous E3's way more exciting or is the conference in general just not much more exciting than all the info you can read on the Internet? Reply

Kurt Busch to race the double in May
The Indy 500 got a lot of publicity Tuesday thanks to an announcement from one of NASCAR's biggest stars.
Kurt Busch will attempt the double this May - a feat which hasn't been accomplished in 10 years.
The one-time NASCAR champion said he would drive for Andretti Autosport in the 500 then fly nearly 600 miles to hop into a stock car at the Coca-Cola 600 in Charlotte. The 500 will be Busch's first IndyCar race, though he tested an IndyCar at the Speedway last April.
Busch said that as a NASCAR driver, he never imagined he'd have an opportunity to race the double.
"My dad always said when we went to SEMA Show and cool car shows and we'd see IndyCars, 'This is probably the closest you're ever going to get to one of these things,' just because it was so far out of what we could dream as a small blue collar family from Las Vegas," Busch said. "I never envisioned this, never dreamed it. It's just the different opportunities that have come up in my career in motor sports, this is another one to chuck off the list but this is probably the biggest, most serious moment outside of stock cars."
Busch's NASCAR team owner is a big supporter of the double idea. After all, team owner Tony Stewart raced in both the Indy 500 and Coke 600 twice, back in 1999 and 2001.

Raleigh, N.C. — With the North Carolina General Assembly headed back to town for a veto override session on Sept. 3, here are five bits of veto trivia:
- North Carolina did not have the option to veto bills until 1996. Gov. Jim Hunt, a Democrat who had served three prior terms without the veto, was the first chief executive to be vested with veto power. He never used it.
- Including McCrory's two vetoes this year, Govs. Mike Easley, Bev Perdue and McCrory have issued a total of 31 vetoes. Perdue, a Democrat, issued 19 of those during 2011 and 2012.
- Once a veto is issued, North Carolina's constitution requires the governor to call the legislature back for a special session. If the governor fails to call a veto override session 40 days from the point at which the session adjourned, the bills he or she vetoed become law not withstanding his or her objections.
- In order to override a veto, three-fifths of those House and Senate members "present and voting" must vote to pass a bill not withstanding the governor's objections. If all members of the General Assembly show up, that requires 72 of 120 votes in the House and 30 of 50 votes in the Senate.
- Lawmakers overrode only one of Easley's nine vetoes. Perdue saw 11 of her 19 vetoes overridden.

"Pilgrims" is the kind of jazzy, smoke-laden instrumental capable of instantly triggering head nodding, moving in a variety of clever musical directions while never losing sight of the gently turning bassline or infectious backbeat.

SOUND OFF: Twelve Reasons To Be Thankful For GLEE
Today we are counting down twelve very valid reasons why Glee is something to be thankful for this holiday season, particularly last night's wacky Thanksgiving episode (though no turkeys were involved, alas).
Turkey Day Top Twelve
12. Blaine Jong-il - man-struating or puppet master? Both! As we came to find out, Darren Criss can do it all - and scored major points with a "You're My Best Friend" that Queen's Freddie Mercury himself would probably have been proud to befriend. Actually, "Puppet Master" - directed by Paul McCrane and written by Matthew Hodgson - was an amusing showcase for Blaine all around (and Sue, too).
11. Pamela Lansbury's fantasy cover of "Into The Groove" - which was somehow even more fabulous than it sounds (really)! Kurt (Chris Colfer), Rachel (Lea Michele), Santana (Naya Rivera) with guest standouts Starchild (Adam Lambert) and Dani (Demi Lovato) make Madonna magic.
10. Sue Sylvester's Principal Evaluation - Jane Lynch can deliver lofty, egoistic platitudes like "Let me be your champion" like no one else, proving it once again last night with her fierce superintendent exchanges (and elsewhere).
9. Sue's 1980s Flashback - Stevie Nicks 'do, A-ha soundtrack, Laura Ashley attire... is that really the woman from whom Sue somehow grew?! Apparently so. Shocking - and totally rad. Bonus points for the makeover look later on, as well.
8. Brad (Brad Ellis) speaks! Yes, for the first time in a long, long while (and only the second time ever on the show), with no less than a gambling-related revelation derived from the man behind the music, at the piano in virtually every New Directions number.
7. Puppets - in nearly every shape, size, sexual orientation and style; the vast colorful, wide-ranging rainbow of GLEE!
6. Jake (Jacob Artist) and Marley (Melissa Benoist)'s sassy "Nasty Boys" mash-up with Bree (Erinn Westbrook)'s Janet Jackson homage, "Rhythm Nation". So good you want to grab a metal fence (preferably in vivid black and white)! Plus: pregnant?!
5. Mr. Schue (Matthew Morrison) and Sue's delightfully elegant and grand Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers song sequence - "Cheek To Cheek". Heaven, indeed (with more black and white mise en scene to enjoy in this ep).
4. Split-screen! Brian De Palma eat your heart out! Blaine and Kurt's repeated split-screen conversations punctuated the hour with eye-popping visuals to go with the neon colors and bigger-than-life emotions characteristic of the lovebirds.
3. Blaine's one-man scene - well, all things considered, does Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz) really count, anyway? Admittedly, that's rather sad, but also quite true! We're talking about the puppet version, right? Right.
2. Animal face masks! An assortment worthy of Noah's Ark. And...
1. Five words: "What Does The FOX Say"? One more: Again!
Next week? The twelve most wonderful days of Glee Christmas!

PRZOOM - /newswire/ -
Wisbech, United Kingdom, 2006/02/07 - Jeff Alderson and Rod Beckwith today launched Top Keyword Data, a software for choosing profitable AdSense niches and keywords and using them to maximize the volume of monthly income you receive from Google - Skrisk.info.
AdSense marketers had long back understood that good research on keywords multiply their efforts in order to bring in most income. The only problem is, it will take a considerable amount of time to conduct all the research necessary to find the best niches and keywords.
Jeff Alderson and Rod Beckwith have spilled the beans and have created a software, Top Keyword Data that takes away the time of work from successful keyword researches and converts that to a simple take it and use it process.
Jeff and Rod say: "No matter how many niche websites you create, no matter how many Google AdSense ads you include, no matter HOW much time and effort you invest, there is only ONE thing that will determine the volume of monthly income you receive from Google... you absolutely MUST choose the "right" keywords"
There's been lot's of comments and opinions on earning money from AdSense advertising program. Every marketer earning an income from AdSense could give their different opinion, however all probably would agree on keyword research importance.
Web site owners have long been hesitating to explore this ever changing substance - keyword, to maximize their income, and stand along with the experts. This software intends to change that perception and make it possible for site owners to harness that raw power of keyword by in depth research. Jeff and Rod Beckwith are offering a special introductory discount for people who take quick action.
About Top Keyword Data
Top Keyword Data is a software that gives you a list of well over 100,000 keywords. For each keyword, you'll see at a glance: the all-important cost per click (CPC) per keyword; the estimated number of monthly clicks (CPC); the total number of existing web pages in Google; the number of AdWords campaigns that are currently running; the number of searches conducted on Overture throughout the previous month.

No masters division this year? How come?
Hopefully next year you will reconsider a masters division. Wasn't last year the first year? I know of a few "masters" aged men that were planning on signing up this year. Give it another go!!
I agree with Craig Hercher. I would have loved to compete in a masters division
I would definitely have signed up for masters. Maybe we'll put a team together and do the intermediate.

Really. I don't. When I have the nerve to say this to people, their reaction resembles shock. The information doesn't seem to register, leaving the listener's face completely blank. After reiteration and time to allow the victim to recover, I gently explain that it's such a massive waste of time that I simply cannot allow theft of my time on such a scale.
I used to watch TV and do what so many people do; complain that there was nothing decent to watch. Basic cable where I lived offered 47 channels. After spending 10 minutes fruitlessly looking at the TV guide, usually if there was nothing new on the Cooking Channel I'd turn to an Andy Griffith episode to provide some noise and go wash the dishes. Unless there was a football game on, in which case that was 'it' for the evening. Don't even go there.
I'm aware of what's on, the TV is on most of the day to provide noise and entertainment for my mother-in-law. On rare occasions, I'll hear 'The Dog Whisperer' on National Geographic TV and go in to watch half an episode. None of it looks as good as playing in the dirt, cleaning the house, cooking, surfing for links to put in my husband's and my ezine, reading newsletters, online newspapers and blogs, taking photographs, learning a new skill, writing, etc.. My idea of what constitutes 'leisure' activities has changed quite a bit and TV is no part of it.
Are you sitting down? I hate sports.

EU cohesion policy and the equity-efficiency trade-off - Adding dynamics to Martin's model
As a result of the combination of endogenous growth theory with the approach of the new economic geography (NEG), several models have been developed to explain spatial income inequality and to formulate possible policy strategies taking into account the equity-efficiency trade-off. The dynamics of this problem should be considered as fundamentally important for the enlargement of the EU, because with respect to the new Member States from Central and Eastern Europe (CEECs), EU cohesion policy is confronted with a double challenge: how can it contribute to attain higher national growth (and therefore convergence towards the EU average income per capita) and at the same time contribute to the decrease of regional disparities within the new Member States? This analysis is particularly appealing against the background of the alleged equity-efficiency trade-off that regional policies often suffer from. After the introduction, in the second part of this paper, some light is shed on this equity-efficiency trade-off in the framework of an overview surveying the theoretical literature on the issue. In the third part of the paper, a model presented by Philippe Martin (1999) is presented. Martin's model combines the approaches of NEG and endogenous growth theory. In the fourth part, we develop a very simple dynamic version of the Martin model, followed by its formal analysis. We examine the effect of a monetary transfer to the poorer region, financed by the EU in the context of its cohesion policy interventions. In the fifth part, we derive some regional policy implications of the dynamised version of the Martin model. We find that there is a case for a "two step regional policy approach" in order to tackle the equity-efficiency trade-off challenge: this approach first aims to support the richer region and thus aggregate growth in the whole integrated area, and then to pursue an equity-oriented cohesion policy by fostering firm creation and innovation in the poorer region.

For many years, a delegation of European Union ambassadors to the United States would troop off to Foggy Bottom for an annual meeting with the Secretary of State at which its members would solemnly demand that the U.S. abolish the death penalty on the grounds that it was a violation of human rights. Every year, the Secretary of State or his representative would politely explain that capital punishment was not a federal responsibility but a question to be determined by individual states. And every year this would make not an ounce of difference; the ambassadors would duly turn up the following year and make the same request.
For all I know, this quaint ceremony continues still, in all its showy pointlessness — like the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace. The European Union has adopted the abolition of capital punishment as one of the main aims of its common foreign policy. It regularly sends out diplomatic delegations to urge lesser breeds without the law — the Philippines, Indonesia, the U.S. — to conform to its high "European values" on this matter. I suppose that, when the financial roof is falling in and the wind is howling through broken windows, giving self-righteous moral lectures to your IMF creditors is one way of keeping warm. (Not the best way, of course, but one way at least.)

Indiana cougar sightings to become common
There are 131 comments on the WLFI Lafayette story from May 23, 2008, titled Indiana cougar sightings to become common. In it, WLFI Lafayette reports that:Urban dwellers in Indiana can expect to see more cougars, according to a Purdue expert.

For the past eight years in Lawrence County of Southern Indian, we have watched a small black Cougar at times. It first came to our freshly tilled garden and we stayed up one night to see it. It came within twelve feet of our bedroom window to look at us as we sat on the bed in the dark. This only lasted about forty five seconds, until it left. I think it is a real Eastern Cougar which is smaller than Western tans. At least a dozen neighbors have seen to over the years, plus a tan one sometimes. People buy the kittens and they soon get too large to feed and take care of. So they turn them out somewhere and I suppose some survive. I think ours is a female as we hear it screaming around Christmas, and I suppose it's in heat.
Colonial literature tells of many attacks by large black cats. The DNR does deny them, but one game warden didn't. When I told him about it he just asked what it weighed for some reason. I caution many people about their children and most ignore me. I have a great fear we will lose a child to a hungry cat.

United States
#23 Sep 24, 2009
There is a picture going around that states it was caught on a deer cam near Andersonville in Rush County. It is a mountain lion killing a buck deer! Very frightening! Last week my daughters were very frightened one night saying that they had heard a "big cat" and that it sounded as though it was killing a cow.
Waterloo, Canada
#24 Sep 24, 2009
Can any one post a picture? I have been hearing a lot about a large cat around here...
#25 Sep 24, 2009
As a livestock producer and horse owner in northen rush county who with his family have had several unconfirmed encounters we would like to know what part of rush county you are located in.
#26 Sep 24, 2009
what is your e-mail and I will send the picture in an e-mail.
#27 Sep 24, 2009
How stupid to leave your Jack Russell outside unprotected! Especially when he wanted in so desperatly. Shame on you! I saw the picture of the cougar dragging away a huge deer. The photo was cuaght on the deer cam over by Rushville.
#28 Sep 24, 2009
Have you heard anymore about a cougar? We just received a text picture today of a cougar spotted in Andersonville (intersection of 244 & 52) dragging a large buck in it's mouth. It was confirmed by a Sheriff to be a true photo. The picture was taken via a deer cam that detects motion. We are worried because we live on a small farm and have dogs. We have not seen any postings in the newspaper about this though.
United States
#29 Sep 25, 2009
my dogs have been outside for 10 years now with now problems,are you crazy I did nothing wrong my daughter has a kitten indoors and I couldnt leave the dig inside to kill the kiten now could I shame on you!
United States

Maybe sherwood should look in to this.
United States
#32 Sep 25, 2009
sherwood is not at 52 and 244 a couple live on 244 out of aville the other lives outside on Bueina vista rd so that wouldnt be 244/52 thats right here I can see the stop sign from my home and the only place that would have hunting cams would be behind our proprty its very quiet and not bothered alot by people so it perfect and they have a deer feeder like the one in the back ground of that photo,the poles, if this is true why are no one telling the people who live here what about our kids?
United States
#33 Sep 25, 2009
my son corrected me,he thinks thats a deer stand in the back ground not a feeder,I'm sorry I dont hunt deer I dont know these things my mistake
United States
#34 Sep 25, 2009
oh also my dogs are in a fenced yard where she was the fence is 10 fet tall,but there is a tree and tree house beside the fence,I didn't throw my dog out unprotected as you state,and many dogs live outdoors in this area with no fenced yard and have been fine for years my dog was almost 9 and has gotten out before but not went anywhere and she knows her home well
#35 Sep 26, 2009
I too have seen "the picture", supposedly taken around Andersonville, Indiana, near the intersection of 52 and 244. But if you Google "cougar dragging deer" you'll see the same picture with credits from Georgia and Texas. Having said that, there are too many other reported sightings NOT to believe that cougars are in fact here. We don't need bogus pictures for "proof". And just for the record, Andersonville is just across the line in Franklin County, not Rush.
#36 Oct 7, 2009
if you type cougar dragging deer in to google it brings up the article and picture it is a deer feeder sombody has chopped the photo but the hunting web site confirms the picture to be real and taken in texas at a deer farm it is the same picture check it out

My aunt & uncle living in Morgan County Indiana, forest lake area very rural saw a mountain lion on their property about 50 feet from the house. Both on different levels of the house heard the cat growling/screeching, carrying on and went to the window and both reported seeing a mountain lion climbing on their wood pile. Apparently speaking with their neighbors it had been noted to be in the area for about 1 week. Several neighbors also had sighted the mountain lion. This was in 2008. Over the past year I'm hearing more stories about mountain lion sightings. Coyotes are common in Indiana and everyone knows what a coyote looks like. Unmistakably these are mountain lion sightings. They are here in Indiana.
#39 Oct 15, 2009
Confirmed couger sighting in Clay County. Picture and story is in the Brazil Times. Look up at thebraziltimes.com Story came out on the 10/13/09.

Sir – Witney MP and Prime Minister David Cameron has decided to 'dash for gas' and frack at full speed.
He says that people unhappy about this "hydrocarbon fuel-based" future are just "irrational or religious".
A BP report is published almost simultaneously. This states that this dash for gas will not reduce prices long term. But it also states that it will take us all into catastrophic climate change. Irretrievably.
That's what BP thinks about the dash for gas policy.
Note to Mr Cameron, then: Do you think BP is "irrational and religious" on this subject? Don't you think the company might be rather expert?
If BP thinks the dash for gas is going to be pointless and lethal, should you not reconsider?
We all remember when you told us that yours would be the greenest government ever, or was that just "green c**p"?
From a grandparent in despair.
Hugo Kerr, Vanner Road, Witney

At the rate Staunton River is scoring, it'll be a surprise if they don't get more than 40 points a game.
The Eagles (4-0) ran up the scoreboard once again, this time en route to toppling Liberty (2-1) 49-7 for the Bedford County Championship title.
Staunton River had previously beaten Jefferson Forest in its home opener on Aug. 25. After beating the Minutemen on Sept. 15 on their home turf, the Eagles secured their place as Bedford County's best team for the second year running.

Market watchers who have been out hunting for bubbles may want to look at debt rather than equity.
A number of measures that focus on leverage, particularly in the area of corporate takeovers, show that kind of risk-taking back at levels just before the financial system imploded and sent the economy into its worst slump since the Great Depression.
Leveraged buyouts—LBOs—for both big and midsize companies are approaching debt levels last experienced in 2007, according to the latest figures from Thomson Reuters.

TOWIE's Arg fails to win back Lydia Bright with new slim-line figure
TOWIE's series five return saw James 'Arg' Argent pin his hopes of winning back Lydia Bright on a new makover, but his dieting efforts were not enough to tempt the Essex beauty.
The pair's rocky long-term relationship came to an end at the close of the last series after a string of arguments, with Lydia being the clear instigator of the split.
Arg made his bid to win her back last night however, returning in the Essex-based ITV reality show's fifth series after undergoing a makeover.
Dressed in sharp suits that showed off his slimmer figure his appearance certainly did stun Lydia, and there were further shocks for the blonde when Arg revealed that he had made the changes entirely for her.
He said: 'I know I've said I've done this for me… but really I have done it for you. You said if you sort your life out and we'll grow up.
'I've started doing that now, I'm not the person I was a month and a half ago. I still love you. I still miss you. I know you still love me.'
Bright confessed she still thought about her ex but was clearly not the same page, responding: 'I still miss you and I still love you. But I was so miserable and I'm so much happier.'
Undettered, Arg ploughed on: 'I've grown up and done everything you want me to do. I'd love for us to go out to dinner.'
'You and me can't be friends. If we go out, we'll end up in bed together. I've giving you the opportunity to go out with me…'
His brazen tactics ultimately aggravated Lydia however, who departed with the words: 'I want you to move on. Shut up you arrogant a**ehole.'
The Sunday night instalment of the series also saw Gemma Collins rather creepily recreate Kate Winslet's naked drawing scene from Titanic .

Sometimes you just grade 'em like a big class taking their final exam. That's how I felt about Tuesday's parade of earnings. You start off with DuPont (DD), and you have to be encouraged simply that this company performed much better than it did last time. It was like the dog stopped eating CEO Ellen Kullman's homework and she delivered a respectable quarter. There no high-fives during the exam, and you could tell she was still furious at herself from last quarter's miserable effort. Still, when a "D" student gets a "C," it is a big deal in the school of hard earnings. In short, Kullman has moved out of the cellar with that quarter.
Meanwhile, across the hall, Travelers' (TRV) Jay Fishman -- the best insurance executive in the world -- quietly delivers a summa cum laude on the quarter through a combination of higher rates, thoughtful underwriting. He made you feel as if he had predicted Hurricane Sandy (I am not kidding -- go have a listen) and tremendous investing of your premiums. Makes you want to switch away from Geico's talking pig, Progressive's (PGR) woman in white, State Farm's discount Cheesehead check and Allstate's (ALL) President Palmer all in one conference call.
Remarkable. I found myself thinking, holy cow, am I glad I am not in that class. I would have had to do a lot of explaining to my dad about how I couldn't keep up with Jay Fishman, and he would make me watch less television and hang out less with my hoodlum friends.
Then there's IBM (IBM) after the close. Oh, we are so darned fixated with the top line. However, IBM knows you can get terrific grades not by just showing up, which is what sales can really be about -- but by saying "no" to bad sales and "yes" to good sales, the ones that make you the most of money. IBM made as much money as it did not because of the oft-charged alchemy of big share buybacks, but also because it makes a huge amount of profit on each sale.
What a remarkable quarter -- pure dean's list, and a nice surprise. It makes me feel that perhaps IBM just didn't feel well in that last quarterly exam, and should have gotten a note to the testing agency from its mother that it was under the weather.
Now how about this Google (GOOG)? Here's a company that sent shareholders down a 100-point chute with a shocking, amateurish and stunning midday release of a quarter that wasn't due until after the close. It was like a defenseless hit to the blind side, and there were all sorts of red flags thrown and a suspension from the stock commissioner.
This quarter was a redemption song and a complete reinstatement of Google's greatness, with terrific growth and new products that are stealing the limelight from just about everyone. Plus, there was no defensiveness, just unbridled optimism. I felt like doing an end-zone dance at its conclusion, but then they'd throw a flag for excessive celebration.
How could you not feel terrific, though, when they discuss how people now "carry a supercomputer in their pocket all the time?" Google is treating this era like the birth of the personal computer -- arming that supercomputer with everything you need, from car self-parking to the cheapest and best airline and restaurant reservations.
Plus, just in case you had worries about whether these joyous rocket scientists didn't care enough about their financial grades, they sprung this classic line on you after discussing the questionable Motorola acquisition: "Just to remind everybody, we do care about profitability." Take that, you nitpicking teachers. They've got some Ray Lewis in 'em for certain.
All in all, it was a terrific day to take the earnings exam. The worst got better, the feckless were going straight and narrow -- and the nerd insurance guy was just killing it, as the nerds always do.

Welding is a critical technique for the joining of materials in the nation's major manufacturing industries and plays a vital role in the energy industry. Welding today is applied to a wide variety of materials and products and increasingly using advanced technologies, stated the American Welding Society. The future of welding holds even greater promise as new methods are devised for joining dissimilar and non-metallic materials, and for creating products of innovative shapes and designs.
The percentage of workers who can weld and who work in the industry is on the decline with every sector having a crucial need for talented people. Employment of welders, cutters, solderers, and brazers is expected to grow 15 percent from 2010 to 2020, about as fast as the average for all occupations, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Job prospects are good for welders trained in the latest technologies with welding schools reporting that graduates have little difficulty finding work. There are around 329,710 Americans employed as welders, cutters and welding machine operators, according to BLS, coupled with 25 other trades or occupations where welding is either a specialized skill or an integral part of the position. By including the workers from these professions that are directly or indirectly involved in the occupation, this number increases to more than 2 million workers or over 10 percent of the manufacturing workforce.
At the time of print, Rigzone had more than 370 jobs correlating to the welding position.

A documentary on the history on mankind's attempts to reach high speeds. Starting with the invention of the bicycle, going on to sports cars, cars with jet engines, rocket-powered cars, attempts to break the sound barrier, and rocket-engine airplanes. Each achievement is documented by title card indicating the speed reached in miles per hour. (Anonymous)
For anyone who craves the adrenaline rush of maximum velocity, Speed is a thrill ride custom-made for superior home-theater systems. Like any IMAX film, this popular 30-minute program suffers from home-theater reduction, but its crisp images and flawless audio (especially in DTS mode) provide adequate compensation as James Burke (lively host of the classic science/invention series Connections) narrates a brisk survey of speed, from the earliest push-pedal bicycle, to the Stanley Steamer, internal combustion engines (including a nod to pioneering hot-rodder Bill Vukovich), jets, rockets, and beyond. From Chuck Yeager's breaking of the sound barrier in 1947's Bell X-1, to the supersonic SR-71 "Blackbird" spy-plane, the Apollo missions, rocket-powered dragsters, and the Blue Angels precision-flight team, this MacGillivray-Freeman production delivers a breathtaking blaze of color, sound, and historical perspective, finally suggesting--with a "stargate" sequence reminiscent of 2001: A Space Odyssey--that "the final frontier" of speed lies within the realm of imagination. (Jeff Shannon, Amazon.com)
From the dawn of man to the distant future, see how the need to go faster has shaped our lives and motivated our progress in this dynamic visual and emotional IMAX experience. Fueled by imagination, mankind has forged on to break through new frontiers and expand human potential beyond what anyone ever thought possible. Daredevils, test pilots, racers, astronauts - all of these people have launched towards the infinite and brought us ever closer to realizing our dreams. Disc 2 includes the complete feature in Microsoft Windows Media High Definition, playable on your PC. (Amazon.com)

Pop-up royalty, the Rebel Dining Society, has announced the advent of its newest venture, and it's got us rather excited. Death by Burrito is set to open inside the revamped Catch bar on Kingsland Road in East London, and offer dishes such as duck breast tacos and lobster ceviche.
The drinks are designed for pairing with the dishes and sound no less exciting, which isn't that surprising when you consider that Imbibe favourite Ryan Chetiyawardana (he of Worship Street Whistling Shop, 69 Colebrooke Row and Bramble fame)has devised the wholly tequila- (Jose Cuervo Tradicional, since you ask) based list. Cocktails will include the Pink Paloma, a blend of Jose Cuervo Tradicional, Aperol, raspberries and homemade vanilla-salted-grapefruit soda and the Turbo-Chelada: tequila, Mexican lager, cucumber, lime and thyme salt air.
Death by Burrito is set to open its doors at the beginning of September, and Rebel Dining Society's Shay Ola said of the project: 'We're really excited to be launching Death by Burrito; and have been working hard to explore the relationship between food and cocktails. The complex flavour of Jose Cuervo Tradicional has given us infinite flavour pairing combinations to play with. We've always wanted to find a way to bring the Rebel Dining Society experience to a wider audience and think that with Death by Burrito we've cracked it.'

I have IXWebhosting and Last week I had installed Silverstripe successfully. When I try to install silverstripe on another domain I am now having issues which I don't understand.
Issues I am having.
- After I add in my Database credentials on the install.php page. Everything succeeds then when it goes to do a redirect it redirects me to the site but looks like there is no styles and I see a White page with links.
- When I try to go to the admin page through the url /admin it winds up looking like the same thing White page with a few links. I also did a dev/build and a dev/build?flush=1 and still the same thing. Also not sure but I am using a most recent download so not sure if there is a bug or not. v2.4.4
Not sure why this is doing this when everything was installed correctly. Has anyone come across this issue? And if so any guidance would be extremely helpful!!

Applies to:
- Windows 10
- Windows 8.1
- Windows 7
Enterprise Mode is a compatibility mode that runs on Internet Explorer 11, letting websites render using a modified browser configuration that's designed to emulate either Windows Internet Explorer 8 or Windows Internet Explorer 7, avoiding the common compatibility problems associated with web apps written and tested on older versions of Internet Explorer.
You can only add specific URLs, not Internet or Intranet Zones.
If you need to include a lot of sites, instead of adding them one at a time, you can create a list of websites and add them all at the same time. For more information, see the Add multiple sites to the Enterprise Mode site list using a file and the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.2) or the Add multiple sites to the Enterprise Mode site list using a file and the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.1) topic, based on your operating system.
Adding a site to your compatibility list
You can add individual sites to your compatibility list by using the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager.
If you're using the v.1 version of the Enterprise Mode schema, you'll need to use the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.1). For more info, see Add sites to the Enterprise Mode site list using the WEnterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.1).
To add a site to your compatibility list using the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.2)
In the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.2), click Add.
Type the URL for the website that's experiencing compatibility problems, like <domain>.com or <domain>.com/<path> into the URL box.
Don't include the
https://designation. The tool automatically tries both versions during validation.
Type any comments about the website into the Notes about URL box.
Administrators can only see comments while they're in this tool.
In the Compat Mode box, choose one of the following:
IE8Enterprise. Loads the site in IE8 Enterprise Mode.
IE7Enterprise. Loads the site in IE7 Enterprise Mode.
IE[x]. Where [x] is the document mode number and the site loads in the specified document mode.
Default Mode. Loads the site using the default compatibility mode for the page.
The path within a domain can require a different compatibility mode from the domain itself. For example, the domain might look fine in the default IE11 browser, but the path might have problems and require the use of Enterprise Mode. If you added the domain previously, your original compatibility choice is still selected. However, if the domain is new, IE8 Enterprise Mode is automatically selected.
Enterprise Mode takes precedence over document modes, so sites that are already included in the Enterprise Mode site list won't be affected by this update and will continue to load in Enterprise Mode, as usual. For more specific info about using document modes, see Fix web compatibility issues using document modes and the Enterprise Mode site list.
In conjunction with the compatibility mode, you'll need to use the Open in box to pick which browser opens the site.
IE11. Opens the site in IE11, regardless of which browser is opened by the employee.
MSEdge. Opens the site in Microsoft Edge, regardless of which browser is opened by the employee.
None. Opens in whatever browser the employee chooses.
Click Save to validate your website and to add it to the site list for your enterprise.
If your site passes validation, it's added to the global compatibility list. If the site doesn't pass validation, you'll get an error message explaining the problem. You'll then be able to either cancel the site or ignore the validation problem and add it to your list anyway.
On the File menu, go to where you want to save the file, and then click Save to XML.
You can save the file locally or to a network share. However, you must make sure you deploy it to the location specified in your registry key. For more information about the registry key, see Turn on local control and logging for Enterprise Mode.
Next steps
After you've added all of your sites to the tool and saved the file to XML, you can configure the rest of the Enterprise Mode functionality to use it. You can also turn Enterprise Mode on locally, so your users have the option to use Enterprise Mode on individual websites from the Tools menu. For more information, see Turn on local control and logging for Enterprise Mode.

Champlin City Council has agreed to a six-month moratorium on installation of new electronic signs within the city. In his presentation to the council, City Planner Scott Schulte cited the desire to evaluate the current signage in the city, review new technology and analyze how other cities are addressing the issues.
Electronic signage is not a new topic for the council. In response to community aesthetic and driver safety concerns, in 2007 Champlin adopted regulations for electronic message signs. The regulations permitted electronic message signs subject to message duration, message transition, sign brightness, sign size, and sign location parameters.
The sign code was then amended in 2008 to require electronic message signs as conditional uses. The change was advocated by the city council as a way of tracking the signs and ensuring compliance via the conditional use permit process.
"These decisions," said Schulte, "haven't always been unanimous [by the council.]"
Schulte stated in his report to council that regulations have proven effective at controlling the negative externalities associated with electronic message signs. However, staff has noted issues as to how the code speaks to multi-tenant building signage. A recent applicant of this nature raised some questions regarding the clarity of the city's code.
During the moratorium, the city will conduct a study of the regulations governing electronic message signs. The study will include an analysis of the existing supply of electronic message signs and an update of neighboring community regulations. The interim ordinance serves as a "time-out" allowing the city to step back and evaluate existing regulations.

Nasus Build Guide by RaduD
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Nasus Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hello, this is my first build here and i hope it will help some of you.
In this topic you will see an off-tank Nasus made to have lots of survivability and pretty high damage . I strongly recoamend this build and champion as a Solo top option .
Note: I'm not one of the best players around i consider myself a medium player but i think this build is pretty solid for nasus so i thought to give it a try . I will update and add pictures as soon as i get free time , Thanks in advance and i hope it will be helpful :)
Nasus General Information
In this chapter i will talk about why , when and what is Nasus .
First of all , why ? Well , he can do incredible damage , great survivability and an annoying CC , especially for AD Carry's. He is one of my top 3 solo top options , a top where Jarvan IV , Irelia , Udyr , Shen , Akali and Kayle have place in it.
Second , when ? When you're team needs and Fighter that can keep the Top lane safe for a while, and do massive damage . I don't recommend you to have 2 fighter's , just in some cases when they do Jungle, then yes they are welcome :)
Third of all , what is Nasus? He is an Tank /Off-tank fighter, with a great ability to push and a self-sustained champion .
This Masteries Tree allows you have a extra boost on your damage output as well having some def boost. I know that 6 Armor/MR don't look to big but its for sure a good boost.
You can also have an Defense Masterie Tree , getting 0 . 21 . 9 with improved Dodge-> Nimbleness that would be grade against a team with 2 or more AD .
I strongly recommend not having an Utility Tree since, you don't really need it..
This set of Runes will allow you to be a good Off-Tank as well a Tank. I consider those rune set to be the standard Off-Tank set that can be used in jungle with a great result.
Marks : Armor Pen , i know this Champion dose not look as a champion that dose to much damage so that he can need this, but often you get tanky champions against you on top , so this would allow you to hurt them .
Seals : Armor . Its a must have on many champions especially Melee AD (Fighters) . I strongly recommend this runes and i think there is no good replacement for them as Seals
Glyph : Flat Magic Resist ,mostly same arguments as on Seal's but in this case its Magic Resist.
Quint's : Flat Health . Extra hp is always better, and on a tanky champions that suppose to have lots of Health is better:)
This is an harsh chapter, since there are lots of items that are needed in some situations .
Early game items :
The Pendant is a core item for the Philosopher Stone that you will need as soon as possible.
Boots : Mercury boots are very effective against hard CC and give a decent MR boost , but in some cases Ninja boots will do a great job too .
Heart of Gold : Decent amount of Health with GP10 passive.
I strongly Recommend GP10 item's. The gold that they give is very useful for you and theyr hp/regen helps too .
Mid Game:
Rushing to Sheen is not a must , you need to focus on Growing you damage on Q , But having it after the Early game items is very good.
Phage is like sheen an core element for Trinity Force that i recommend having before Zeal.
Trinity Force : You should be able to get it till min 25 without any kills and just the CS . Having this item will make your opponents think twice before engaging on you.
Chain Vest: The amount of armor it gives is strong, will make you very tough.
Negaton Cloak : You don't have too much MR without this so try get it ASAP .
Sunfire Cape : Great health , armor and a good passive.
Late Game :
Force of nature : One of the best solutions for MR , getting it will make Casters to think abit before wasting they'r mana on you..
Last Whisper : Damage and Armor pen , exactly what you need:)
Bloodthirster : Big amount of Damage and life steal that can grow alot,making it perfect to fit your passive skill
Summoner Spells
Flash is a must , since you don't really have a escape mechanism .
Teleport this can be swap with Exhaust , Ignite and in worst case Fortify but i don't recommend it.
Nasus has one of the best Q ingame . The skill allows you to farm very good and can stack up damage for each last hit you give (minion or champion) .
The W skill , is one of the best slows ingame , that give Movement speed and Atack Speed slow , that gets worst and worst by the time it applies .
The E skill : Is an AoE skill that gives poor to decent damage , that can be used to clear waves of creeps in mid game but that has an effect against opponents giving them reduce armor and magic resist while in the aoe range .
R skill . the ultimate. Nasus gets intro a rage form getting tones of damage near opponents , boosting his Health and giving procent based damage near him each second , for 15 seconds.
IMPORANT: Use the Q skill as much as possible , you need to stack it good to have a hurt people.
Team Fight's
Don't start the fight unless you are strongly needed too . let the tank do that, eaven with off-tank items you don't need to be the one doing it!
The thing you need to do in a team fight is to slow the Carry , use the E skill to get as many people as you can activate R when you are near the fight(don't waste the time while its actived) and well target the Carry or what you consider is the best int that situation .
If you have a good tank , and you don't jump in , its hard to not be effective!
Solo top duty
Get wards for you , you do not need to die in any case. Each time you go base get at least 1 ward , if the gold let's you get 2 , you can stay in lane alot , wards have limited useage ,
the more the better.
Don't forget you have a team , if you stay top all match and farm , its not necesarly a sucess for you or your team , try help when needed .
Tip : keep in mind Top tower is expendable but not over min 25 !!
Pros / Cons
Insane Damage in mid-late
Very tough !!
Self sustained!
Not the champion you would call early domination king .
Needs to farm his Q alot
Can die very fast till you get the early game items
Like most of the champions ... needs a brain to be played , and patience !
Thanks you!
Thanks you for the support and that you read it!
I will add pictures . movie and all it needs for people to understand Nasus better.
Please vote and comment , i'm open to suggestions !
Thanks in advance ! Hope it helped!

Ang Lee's World War II-era Shanghai drama "Lust, Caution" and the Tsui Hark, Johnnie To, and Ringo Lam collaboration "Triangle" leads this week's new Asian DVD releases. The street date for the erotically charged "Lust, Caution" is December 21, 2007, but you can pre-order your copy now. "Triangle", meanwhile, is due out now.
Lust, Caution: (click here to buy the DVD)
Shanghai, 1942. The World War II Japanese occupation of this Chinese city continues in force. Mrs. Mak, a woman of sophistication and means, walks into a cafe, places a call, and then sits and waits. She remembers how her story began several years earlier, in 1938 China. She is not in fact Mrs. Mak, but shy Wong Chia Chi. With WWII underway, Wong has been left behind by her father, who has escaped to England. As a freshman at university, she meets fellow student Kuang Yu Min. Kuang has started a drama society to shore up patriotism. As the theater troupe's new leading lady, Wong realizes that she has found her calling, able to move and inspire audiences–and Kuang. He convenes a core group of students to carry out a radical and ambitious plan to assassinate a top Japanese collaborator, Mr. Yee. Each student has a part to play; Wong will be Mrs. Mak, who will gain Yee's trust by befriending his wife and then draw the man into an affair. Wong transforms herself utterly inside and out, and the scenario proceeds as scripted–until an unexpectedly fatal twist spurs her to flee. Shanghai, 1941. With no end in sight for the occupation, Wong–having emigrated from Hong Kong–goes through the motions of her existence. Much to her surprise, Kuang re-enters her life. Now part of the organized resistance, he enlists her to again become Mrs. Mak in a revival of the plot to kill Yee, who as head of the collaborationist secret service has become even more a key part of the puppet government. As Wong reprises her earlier role, and is drawn ever closer to her dangerous prey, she finds her very identity being pushed to the limit…
Triangle: (click here to buy the DVD)
A three part action thriller about three friends who seek out the buried treasure of a mysterious stranger. Directed by Johnnie To, Tsui Hark, and Ringo Lam, whereby each of the three directors will be responsible for 30 minutes of footage without forewarning the others what he's going to shoot.

'The pain is in my elbow'
Posted July 23, 2014
I spent a lot of time researching my story about overuse injuries in sports. I talked to doctors, coaches and former players, and I learned a lot. Here are three important things I could not fit into the TV story.
Injuries do not make you a "wimp"
Brandon Young is a physical therapist who works with many young people suffering with arm injuries. He got into the business after blowing his arm at an early age.
"It's heartbreaking," said Young. You think you're a major league prospect, and the attention you were getting is gone."
Young said his story should be a lesson to every parent who has a child playing sports.
"I told my parents that I had elbow pain, and it was the old-school mentality: 'No, you don't have elbow pain, it's in your head,'" he said. "I told them over and over the pain is not in my head, it's in my elbow." And he was right. Young eventually needed Tommy John surgery to fix his arm, and his career playing baseball was over.
Tommy John surgery will not make you a better pitcher
The facts are, only 80 percent of pitchers who have Tommy John surgery can actually regain the velocity they had before they tore the ligament. That's something Duke orthopedic surgeon Grant Garrigues has to explain to his patients all of the time.
"I have had patients come to me with completely normal ligaments asking for the surgery," he said. "There is a huge misconception. People somehow think the surgery will make you throw faster or that you need it to get to the next level of baseball, and the data is extremely clear on that. It will not make you throw harder."
"I pitched every game."
I asked every expert why I constantly hear fathers say, "When I was his age, I pitched every game and didn't get hurt." The answer lies in variety. Kids these days are focusing in on one sport very early in life while most people, even 15 years ago, played sports by seasons.
"I would tell that father, 'When you played, were you on those traveling teams or were you playing different sports in the offseason?'" Garrigues said. "Baseball has really changed. It's so competitive now."

YOU BET YOUR LIFE! Secures Full Production for July 2014
With a successful week-long workshop behind it, ROLSKA productions is moving forward with the debut production of the new musical YOU BET YOUR LIFE! at the National Arts Festival later this year. ROLSKA Productions has developed a solid track record over the past few years, including shows like I LOVE YOU, YOU'RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE, the popular musical comedy by Joe DiPietro and Jimmy Roberts, and Benj Pasek and Justin Paul's ubiquitous song cycle EDGES amongst their hit productions. ROLSKA Productions won a Standard Bank Ovation Award for their National Arts Festival run of I LOVE YOU, YOU'RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE. The company is proud to be presenting a new musical created by South African writers on local stages this year.
The book, music and lyrics of YOU BET YOUR LIFE! are by Roland Perold and David Fick. YOU BET YOUR LIFE! tells the story of Jonny, a recently deceased young man who finds himself trapped in a game show where scenes from his life are replayed with purgatorial relish. Show host Timothy Radcliffe introduces us to Jonny's mother, his ex-girlfriends, a ferocious drag performer and a host of other characters who all seem bent on keeping Jonny in limbo as Timothy tries to manipulate things to secure his own redemption.
The workshop featured Nathan Kruger as Jonny and Terence Makapan as Timothy Radcliffe, as well as Megan Spencer in a range of diverse roles. Of his participation in the workshop, Kruger said: "Being a part of a workshop process has always been a goal for me, ever since I watched SMASH. And now having been a part of one, I must say it's been a wonderful experience! We were asked to help get the vision of two talented writers another step closer to stage, and hopefully we've done just that! YOU BET YOUR LIFE! is a thought-provoking musical that's bound to make audiences laugh, cry and contemplate many things. I feel honoured to have been a part of its growth."
Spencer said that she enjoyed working with Perold and Fick on the musical: "Their guidance and direction during the workshop process, was extremely clear as they both knew exactly what they wanted. I always felt excited and motivated, as every rehearsal was filled with an efficient and focused energy. I am so grateful and honoured to have been a part of the beginning stages of an incredibly well written and entertaining musical."
Like his cast mates, Makapan also had a great time working on YOU BET YOUR LIFE!: "I was very fortunate to be a part of this amazing project! The material was genius and I learned so much in one week."
An accomplished actor, musical director and producer, Perold holds a BMus Degree from the University of KwaZulu-Natal, a Performer's Licentiate in Musical Theatre from Trinity College and a MMus Degree from Bath Spa University in the United Kingdom. Perold's previous works for the musical theatre stage include TWEET: THE MUSICAL and THE LAST NOTE. Looking back at the YOU BET YOUR LIFE! workshop, he said: "Coming out of the workshop with Megan, Nathan and Terence really affirmed many of the choices we made. What was especially helpful was their willingness to adapt and without any hesitation try new thing, always open to suggestions and even some mid-week edits that we threw their way. Of course there's lots of rewriting and fixing up that needs to be done now but for a show in development I think we're in an excellent place and will have a very tight book when we start rehearsing for Grahamstown in May."
Fick has also written two musicals, OVER THE RAINBOW (with Jacqui Meskin) and HOUSE OF SHADOWS. He read for a Master of Arts in Theatre and Performance at the University of Cape Town, having previously completed an Honours degree in Drama at the same university. Of the week spent working with YOU BET YOUR LIFE! on the floor, he reflects: "What a fantastic experience! While I've certainly used workshop methods when creating theatre before, I've never experienced anything like this. You really have to be on your feet, because when the show is up there, the bits that don't work read as strongly as the bits that do. But now we have a very solid and specific set of notes to work through and I can't wait to see how YOU BET YOUR LIFE looks like when we start rehearsals for the full production!"

Last night I wondered whatever happened to Gloria Gery, so I dropped her a line. I'd lost track of Gloria when she was caring for Romanian babies and later on Romanian youth several years back.
She sent me this photo from Antarctica:
She reports, "I have been gone for six years and am completely detached…. Am not on the net, facebook, linked in or anything else."
You can buy Gloria's classic book at the Internet Time Bookstore.
I miss her.
