Lightning to honor Andreychuk with a statue
Soon, Phil Esposito's statue won't be the only one in front of the Tampa Bay Times Forum.
The Lightning announced Monday that it will honor former captain Dave Andreychuk with a statue on Ford Thunder Alley. They will unveil the statue in a pre-game ceremony at 6:30 p.m. before playing the Stars April 5. It will air live on CW44.
Andreychuk, now the team's vice president of corporate and community affairs, said he found out a couple months ago.
"Obviously it's a great honor," Andreychuk said. "I was overwhelmed."
The life-size bronze statue of Andreychuk will be located at the entrance to Ford Thunder Alley, just northeast of the intersection at Channelside Drive and Morgan Streets. The statue will depict Andreychuk hoisting the Stanley Cup over his head after the Lightning defeated the Calgary Flames in Game 7 during the 2004 finals. The Andreychuk statue will stand 9-feet tall and weigh approximately 600 pounds. It is being created by Steven Dickey, the renowned artist and sculptor that designed the Phil Esposito statue which graces the entrance to the Times Forum.
Andreychuk said the statue "symbolizes a moment for us," and is "something that the whole community should be proud of."
"The image of captain Dave Andreychuk hoisting the Stanley Cup over his head at center ice is one of the most iconic memories in Lightning history," Lightning chairman and governor Jeff Vinik said. "We are excited to share this moment with every fan that attends a Lightning home game by honoring Dave with this statue."
Andreychuk skated in 278 games with the Lightning over the final four seasons of his NHL career, amassing 68 goals and 129 points. He captained the Lightning to the franchise's first and only Stanley Cup Championship during the 2003-04 season. Andreychuk skated in 1,639 career NHL games, posting 640 goals and 1,338 points and he remains the NHL's record holder for most power-play goals with 274.
Andreychuk said he was told the statue doesn't mean his jersey won't also be retired at some point, but points out the difference in this honor.
"To me this is eternity this is going to be here for a long time every lighting fan everybody in Tampa Bay is going to see it it's not just in the front of our building but any visitor that comes is going to see it," Andreychuk said. "So can you compare the two? No not really it's just Mr. Vinik philosophy is there are no numbers that are retired and when he announced it when he told us we talked about it to me something that is forever."
Andreychuk pointed out there are only a few of these such statues in the NHL, making it "really cool."
"We want to remember that moment as a community for sure this is a great way to do it," Andreychuk siad. "And ultimately everybody holds the Stanley Cup but at the same time that was my moment and to me and my family that was the ultimate goal but at the same time it symbolizes our communities world championship."

NEW YORK, N.Y. -- Despite the hype and high expectations of St. John's possible BIG EAST Tournament run, the Red Storm (20-12) seemed flat for much of the quarterfinal of the BIG EAST Tournament at Madison Square Garden on Thursday.
Although the squad was able to come dangerously close to a full comeback late in the second half, the effort was not enough as the Friars (21-11) defeated the Johnnies 79-74.
"This was clearly a game of runs," said Red Storm head coach Steve Lavin. "We were playing well, had a seven-point lead. Providence went on a big run... and, then, we went on a run just inside of six minutes and had the ball down one. We couldn't convert and Providence pulled away."
St. John's and Providence were evenly matched in the early goings, as both were increasingly hopeful for a full run through the conference tournament especially after eighth-seeded Seton Hall took down top seed No. 3/3 Villanova earlier in the afternoon.
However, the Johnnies' dreams of a relatively easier route through to the BIG EAST championship matchup were seemingly dashed by the 6:24 mark of the second half when Providence led by as much as 17 points, 63-46, after a 27-13 surge that sparked at the start of the stanza.
Instead of throwing in the towel, the Red Storm responded with a run of their own, cutting the deficit to as low as one point, 69-68, on a pair of free throws by junior guard D'Angelo Harrison with just 1:15 remaining in the game following what appeared to be a promising and impressive 22-6 surge spurred by the team's full court man-to-man pressure defense.
"Stay in the moment," said Providence head coach Ed Cooley of what he said to his team when the Johnnies broke down the deficit. "Basketball is a game of runs. We had a run. They were going to have a run, but we wanted to make sure we had the last run."
Harrison had the opportunity to tie after a block on the defensive end by St. John's sophomore forward JaKarr Sampson (15 points, nine rebounds) with 39 seconds left, but was rejected by Providence's Carson Desrosiers (eight points, 10 rebounds, four blocks).
A series of fouls by the Johnnies -- some accidental others intentional to slow the clock -- hurt them down the stretch, as the Friars went 10-of-10 from the charity stripe in the final 31 seconds.
Providence was led in scoring by the game-high 24 points of Josh Fortune, who went 8-of-13 from the field, including 4-of-7 from 3-point range. Teammate LaDontae Henton finished with 16 points and 11 boards, while Kadeem Batts added 13 points and 12 rebounds.
Despite the 12 rebounds of St. John's senior forward Orlando Sanchez, the Friars' powerful presence on the interior in the rebounding department hurt the Johnnies at crucial points during the second half as most were cashed in for second-chance points off high-percentage shots.
"They're a physical team," said Desrosiers about the Storm. "They have a lot of size, a lot of athleticism. I think we did a pretty good job on the boards today and I think that's one of the reasons we won the game."
Providence shot 41.3 percent (26-of-63) from the field, which included 33.3 percent (5-of-15) from beyond the arc. Meanwhile, the Red Storm stroked 41.2 percent (28-of-68) from the field, 29.4 percent (5-of-17) from downtown.
Harrison recorded a team-high 21 points on 6-of-17 from the field as well as 10 rebounds, four assists and two blocks.
"We weren't playing 'St. John's basketball' that we usually play," said Harrison. "But you saw that in the last six or seven minutes and, if we did that the whole game, it would have been a different kind of game."
Providence led St. John's 36-33 at halftime.
The Red Storm broke the basket-for-basket volleying with the Friars when freshman guard Rysheed Jordan scored 10 consecutive points. His offensive grind gave way to the Johnnies leading by as much as seven points, 29-22, with 5:34 left in first half.
Jordan scored 14 of his 17 points in the primary stanza.
"Just disappointed, " said Harrison about his emotion after the loss. "But we have to get past this game and we have basketball in front of us so we get back to work tomorrow or the next day. Just get ready and figure out where we're going to be and work hard again so we can get this next win."

[i]For additional theory updates, check out[/i] [url=http://www.bungie.net/7_The-Dark-Army-Clues-amp-Theories-Pt-2/en-us/Forum/Post?id=60448346]part 2[/url]. Yo peeps! I've been doing some thinking in regards to the "dark army", and I hope my ideas will spark more ideas from the beautiful 7th Column community (das you!). Early after Bungie's establishment of the Destiny setting, they embarked on the task of enemy design. Chris Barret, the art director, drew up [url=http://i1145.photobucket.com/albums/o507/Charles_McPhersonvillecharles/FiveConceptAlienRacesMoodboard_zps322222b6.jpg]this enemy "Moodboard"[/url] to spark those ideas. Remember it? If you haven't watched their presentation at the GDC Conference, do it!! Notice there were 5 initial concepts for enemies. The first 4 have developed into the Vex, the Fallen, the Cabal, and the Hive. They didn't drop the 5th race, they simply haven't talked about it. They said they weren't allowed to yet. The secrecy they have held in regards to the 5th Race tell me they play a big role in the story. Here's what we know: At the GDC Conference, Joe Staten said the following: [quote]"Imagine you're exploring an abandoned moon-base, and you start to notice fissures in the ground, that are flickering with strange lights and seeping gases. And then imagine following one of these fissures and coming upin a giant alien 'hell-mouth' cracking the lunar surface. And then imagine taking a trecherous path that leads you even deeper, into the heart of a [b]hidden[/b] fortress, where a [b]dark army dreams of conquest and corruption[/b]....But I'm..[b]not allowed to talk about that yet[/b]."[/quote] These are the images he showed during that point of the presentation: [url=http://www.bungie.net/pubassets/615/ocean_of_storms_desktop.jpg]Moonbase, w/ emphasis on moon damage[/url]. [url=http://www.bungie.net/pubassets/615/hellmouth_desktop.jpg]Hellmouth[/url]. [url=http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130330083053/destinypedia/images/3/32/Hellmouth_Fortress.jpg]Heart of the fortress[/url]. Now I'd like to take you back a moment and remember what was said in the initial reveal. [quote]"Something hit us...knocked us down and tried to stamp us out. Nobody knows exactly what..."[/quote] Now see how the narrarator continues. This is very important: [quote]"And now we've begun to venture back into the wild, only to find that we're not alone. Strange and deadly creatures have occupied our old worlds."[/quote] The Guardians--us...humankind... is aware of the Vex, Fallen, Cabal, and Hive. Since he said nobody knows what it was that took us out, there is a race we know nothing about. They attacked us before any of the other races moved into our solar system. This is where my theory comes in: [b][THEORY][/b] The Traveler fought them off and saved us, nearly destroying them. A remnant of them survived, and went into hiding so they could rebuild their army. They were making a direct attack on earth, our motherplanet, and when the Travler descended on them, they severely damaged its underside but it ultimately hurt them enough that the ones that survived fled directly into the closest possible hiding place: our Moon. They plunged into the depths of the Moon, shattering its surface. Inside, they have been rebuilding their forces, preparing to arise and destroy the Traveler and take what they almost gained once and for all. [b][EVIDENCE][/b] Remember that enemy moodboard? Notce that their iconic shape used for the inspiration of their race is a triangle. Bungie showed us these "[url=http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130331073137/destinypedia/images/thumb/b/bb/Onyx_pyramid_ships.jpeg/640px-Onyx_pyramid_ships.jpeg]giant onyx pyramid ships[/url]" (notice the destruction on the ship). Here is another image that seems to hold to the basic appearance and architecture of the other image showing the inside of the Moon fortress, and contains some basic angular shapes and triangles throughout its design: [url=http://www.bungie.net/pubassets/912/bridge_of_chains_desktop.jpg]Unnamed, mysterious fotress and/or factory[/url] Remember another thing about the moodboard: Half of the poster was covered in a black smoke. This may be represented by their industrial fortress as they devote their resources to building up their army. Aslo, recall that Staten said the Moon has fissures of light and "seeping gases". Lastly on the moodboard, I'd like to point out the color theme for that race: yellow and black. Look at the images. 'Nuff said. There's a couple last things to bring up in regards to the mysterious 5th Race. Read a quote from [url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/02/17/bungies-destiny-a-land-of-hope-and-dreams]this article from IGN[/url] a while back: [quote]"The two of them are now three, and the trio plumbs the depths of the Dust Palace, reaches Charlemagne's Vault, and Staten scores a new pistol. Like the Huntress's sidearm, it too has a custom name: "Thorn," a fitting description for a 45-caliber hand cannon"[/quote] The Dust Palace is located in the exclusion zone on Mars, which is Cabal-held territory. Thorn, however, is clearly not a Cabal weapon, as it was shown and pointed out by name during the GDC Conference. [url=http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130329073110/destinypedia/images/6/61/Thorn.jpg]"Thorn"[/url] Notice the look of that pistol. It is clearly not reminiscent of anythin we've seen from the Vex, Fallen, Cabal, or Hive. Instead It appears to match the dark, angular style of the previous images. Notice how the front base of the gun resembles the elongated pyramid shape of the ships shown earlier, and features small, angular yet chaotic points across the entire weapon, and it appears to be made of the same "onyx" material. Also, when the narrarator in the initial reveal says the tried to destroy us, [url=http://cdn.idigitaltimes.com/data/images/full/2013/02/17/5731.jpg]this image[/url] is shown. That object fits the theme as well. This mesh of organic and geometric fits the style of the inspiration images Bungie showed at the conference, and is present in all the images I've compiled. The presence of a 5th Race pistol in Cabal territory further supports my theory that the 5th Race once owned this solar system, and when it moved onto earth, it disappeared after its defeat by the Traveler, and other races moved in on their territory afterward. The last thing is that the Moon has been abandoned and labeled as a dangerous "Forbidden Zone". And I think it's because they are terrified that some of this species survived, and don't want to face it without the protection of the Traveler back at home. Welp, that concudes my thoughts about the mysterious 5th Race. Everyone please add your own ideas, corrections, etc. I'll edit this if more comes to mind. Peace! and God bless. - Siff

I also believe there is definitely a fifth enemy race, Bungie pulled a fast one in halo c.e. With the flood, they'll do it again... I love Bungie

The keyword in the functions does not necessarily match with the attribute names on the objects. I don't find this particularly shocking. Or bad. But that's just my tastes. So I'm -1 on changing numpy.random and all of scipy.stats. > I do not think any of the numpy distributions have a competing 'shape' > parameter, but if so that just makes the situation *worse*. I also avoided the "shape" terminology for the "shape" parameters, too, to avoid conflation. However, a lot of the probability distributions do have a "shape" parameter. lognormal, gamma, beta, pareto, and on and on and on. Anything that isn't a location or a scale parameter is called a shape parameter in probability theory. -- Robert Kern robert.kern at gmail.com "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco

Korean cinema loves a good caper, and "The Grand Heist" offers a twist on the formula by setting the action back during the Joseon era of the 18th century, following a bunch of miscreants set on stealing ice. The film was directed by Kim Joo Ho, marking his debut, and as is usual for this kind of affair was an ensemble piece, bringing together a host of top stars, namely Oh Ji Ho ("Sector 7"), Min Hyo Rin ("Sunny"), Song Jong Ho ("The Princess' Man"), Lee Chae Young ("Miracle"), Sung Dong Il ("Miss Conspirator"), Ko Chang Seok ("The Front Line") and Shin Jeong Keun ("Runway Cop"). Mixing laughter and tension, the "Ocean's Eleven" style film proved very popular at the Korean box office, emerging as one of the year's hits alongside the similarly themed contemporary pic "The Thieves".
Cha Tae Hyun headlines as Duk Moo, the son of a government official and a concubine, who due to his lesser birth rights spend his days lazing around the market as a book seller. His life falls apart after the corrupt politician Jo (Nam Kyung Eup) frames him for dealing in banned books as part of a plot to discredit his father and take over the local ice trade. Duk Moo finds himself in jail along with the similarly set up royal ice house guard Dong Soo (Oh Ji Ho), and on their release the two decide to team up and try and steal all of Jo's ice and gold. To carry out their cunning scheme, they recruit a crew of shady characters, including an explosives expert (Shin Jeong Keun), a notorious tomb robber (Ko Chang Suk), a money man (Sung Dong Il), a master of disguise (Song Jong Ho), and a sexy female informant (Lee Chae Young), as well as Dong Soo's attractive swimmer sister Hyo Rin (Min Hyo Rin). Unbeknownst to Duk Moo, Jo is also involved in a treasonous plot, and as the time for the heist draws near, things get even more dangerous and complicated.
"Ocean's Eleven" comparisons are certainly fitting, as "The Grand Heist" is very much a character driven piece, spending most of its time following the cast around as they plan and scheme, with the big set piece robbery not taking place until the final act. Kim Joo Ho and writer Kim Min Sung do a very solid job in this respect, with a fine script that successfully creates a likeable and fun set of characters, and their bickering and bantering makes for entertaining viewing, even when stretches of the film don't really go anywhere. The film works in a number of different relationships, romances and bromances, and this helps to add a little of emotional investment, crucial when the director is trying to get the viewer on side and rooting for the good guys. The cast are all on great form, Cha Tae Hyun and Oh Ji Ho's central partnership having a lively dynamic, and though the rest don't have quite as much to work with, all do their part in adding to the overall sense of good-natured boisterousness.
Though a first time helmer, Kim directs with surprising assurance, and the film is consistent and engaging in terms of pacing and tone, showing a fine balance between comedy and the tension which builds as things go wrong in the run up to the heist. It helps that most of the gags revolve around clever wordplay rather than slapstick (apart from an admittedly amusing line in in appropriate fart jokes), this keeping things grounded and ensuring that the laughs don't undermine the drama. The central scheme itself is reasonably clever, with plenty of twists and mishaps along the way, and though the final outcome is never in any doubt Kim succeeds in his aim of making it a merry, occasionally wild ride. When the robbery does finally arrive, it's thankfully a well-handled and exciting set piece, bringing the film to rousing and fitting finish, making good use of all the time spent developing the characters and suspense.
Whilst not too likely to stick in the mind after the credits have rolled, "The Grand Heist" is a very strong and enjoyable piece of Korean commercial cinema. Showing great assurance in his first outing, Kim Joo Ho makes great use of his game cast and clearly has a lot of fun with the tried and tested caper form, and it's easy to see why the film proved so popular at the box office.

Mick McCarthy linked with an Ireland return
Former Wolves boss Mick McCarthy has emerged as the frontrunner for the Ireland job if Giovanni Trapattoni is forced out.
Pressure has grown on the 73-year-old Italian after Friday's 6-1 drubbing by Germany in Dublin.
McCarthy has been installed as favourite to take the hotseat he occupied from 1996-2002, with former Ireland defender Mark Lawrenson tipping the 53-year-old ex-national team boss to bring back the feelgood factor.
McCarthy has made no secret of his desire to manage again at international level one day, and was tempted by the South Korea post during his time at Molineux.
Trapattoni today insisted he is going nowhere after one report claiming he will be relieved of his duties by the end of the week whatever happens in tonight's World Cup qualifier away to the Faroe Islands in Torshavn.
That, coupled with claims mild-mannered defender Stephen Kelly, an unused substitute on Friday, had to be persuaded to board the plane after a fall-out with assistant manager Marco Tardelli, sparked a mutinous atmosphere as Trapattoni was grilled by journalists.
But with McCarthy and Harry Redknapp already being linked with the job, Trapattoni was stubbornly refusing to consider that his job might be in jeopardy.
Asked if he expected tonight's game to be his last as Ireland manager, he replied: "Absolutely not.
"Why? We've lost one game to Germany. There's no reason."
Asked further if he still believed he had the support of the Football Association of Ireland, he said: "They have to decide, not me."
Asked if he expected to see out his contract, he admitted: "I don't know. Game to game, we can show the results we've achieved, but it's not me who will decide."
If Trapattoni is to go, he will have to be pushed, and that could prove expensive for the FAI.
The salaries of Trapattoni and his staff have been part-funded by businessman Denis O'Brien, and it seems certain he will have a significant say in what happens.

Matt Smaby plays first game of season for Tampa Bay Lightning after "long" camp
Matt Smaby opened with a joke. Approached by reporters who wanted to know how the Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman felt to finally be getting in a game, Smaby said, "It's been a long training camp."
When Smaby plays tonight against the Bruins at TD Garden, it will be his first game this season. We all know the story by now. Signed to a two-year deal, Smaby did not have a good training camp, according to coach Rick Tocchet and was buried on the depth chart. Three times he was sent to AHL Norfolk on conditioning assignments and twice he was hurt. One was an upper-body injury, the other a laceration on his middle finger of his left hand.
But Tocchet decided to sit David Hale against Boston, which gave Smaby his first shot at getting in a game.
"I'm excited to be in," Smaby said. "But it's not like I'm having uncontrollable emotions. I've been ready to do this for a while."
Is there pressure to prove himself?
"Of course I want to play really well," he said. "I want to put myself in a position where they can't take me out of the lineup, so there's that kind of pressure. But if I let that affect my game, I'm probably not going to play as well as I'd like. It's kind of a fine line between being real intense and pushing myself too far."
Smaby said he feels physically fine and in good shape and that he played well in six of the seven games in which he played in Norfolk, "so I feel like I'm ready to play."
Tocchet said with seven defenseman on the roster (not including Paul Ranger, who is away on a personal leave or Kurtis Foster, who is playing forward), he will play whomever is doing best, but won't hesitate to use a rotation.
"But if somebody is playing really well, they're going to stay in," he said. "It's the same thing with the forwards right now. we can't have any passengers. Having these extra bodies around is a good bullet for a coach. If they're not ready to go, they won't play against Jersey" on Friday.
As for not getting Smaby into a game until Game 26, Tocchet said that is the hardest part of being a coach.
"Some guys maybe their work ethic isn't there and as a coach you don't mind sitting guys out," Tocchet said, "but he's done everything we've asked, so it's tough telling Matt you're not playing. He's a great kid and he wants to play. But that's the world we live in. We have eight, nine D and we had a good streak there with the regular six going."
Other stuff from the morning skate: Mike Smith gets the start in net. ... Ryan Malone got a shaving cream pie in the face for his 30th birthday on Tuesday. He actually got it on the team plane headed out of Tampa, and he said it was delivered by a flight attendant. ... Assistant coach Adam Oates returned to Boston for the first time as a coach. Oates spent six seasons with the Bruins, including the best of his career: 45 goals, 97 assists and 142 points in 1992-93. But he said his best memory of Boston was being part of the 1993-94 season in which he centered for Cam Neeley, who scored 50 goals in 44 games. Of Boston's fans, he said, "They're great, great sports fans, very knowledgeable fans. It's a big blue collar town. They believe in their athletes and like guys who work hard. it was definitely a lot of fun to play here." ... Saw former Lightning assistant Craig Ramsay, who had his usual smile but bemoaned the hour drive into the city for morning skates. He said he takes the train when he can. ... Tocchet had nice things to say about Bruins right wing Mark Recchi, whom Tocchet got to coach last season in Tampa. "He still gets his points and he plays well, but he's such a leader to the young guys," Tocchet said. "He's the most generous guy I know and he'll do anything for the young guys, and when you have an older player takes on that road, it makes a coaches job a lot easier. He did everything I asked. What is he 42? (Actually 41 years, 10 months) I'm sure they got the old jokes here for him, too." ... Everybody talks about Foster's big shot, but exactly how fast is it? Foster said at a skills competition at the 2002-03 AHL All-Star Game, his slap shot was measured at 101.5 mph. Given today's stick technology, he said, "It's probably a little faster." ... AHL Norfolk announced it signed Justin Keller. The left wing, on a pro tryout contract, had five goals, two assists and was minus-3 in 23 games. His 61 shots are third on the team.

I am looking to get a small TV for the bedroom and have seen some on the John Lewis web site - I am off to have a look at them but has anyone here got any experience of the smaller 19" or 23" models? What are the picture and sound quality like?
Can anyone recommend any other small TVs they are esepcially pleased with?

Old Family Photo Collections Van Zandt County Genealogical Society
The photos on these pages are generously contributed by Milda Mason of Alto, New Mexico. Her ancestors were early settlers in Van Zandt County and these wonderful old photos are much appreciated. In addition, there is a very interesting story on this family and the Bottoms family on our "Old Tales, Stories Page" that you don't want to miss. If you would like to share your old family photos by placing them on this web site, please contact Sibyl Creasey for instructions.
This is "Red" Roach, a friend of the family and a co-worker of my daddy and uncles in Texas during the Great Depression.
He worked on a cable tool oil rig and I am fascinated by his fancy boots.
These were before steel toed work boots were made.
Often wondered how long it took him to put those things on.
He obviously rolled his own cigarettes.. note the round "Bull Durham" tag hanging from his pocket.

A few quick thoughts on the Super Bowl
Some thoughts on the Giants' 21-17 victory over the Patriots, as well as the pomp and circumstance of the Super Bowl.
--- Every two minutes of this game I was telling myself, "It should be the Ravens. This should be the Ravens playing tonight." Yeah, I'm still not over that AFC Championship Game. And yes, it should have been the Ravens playing the Giants.
--- Then again, this game did lead to a post-game freakout by Gisele Bundchen about hubby Tom Brady's receivers, who dropped several big passes down the stretch. I found this story to be a real whole-big-deal-out-of-nothing item, and yet, utterly hilarious at the same time. The thought of Gisele, the absurdly good-looking, six-foot Brazilian supermodel with a thick Portuguese accent, muttering obscenities about Wes Welker and Aaron Hernandez is funny to me on multiple levels.
---The Ravens should definitely resign Bernard Pollard this offseason, if for no other reason than because he completely freaks out Patriots fans.
Bonecrusher took out Brady in the first game of the 2008 season, was around when Wes Welker tore his knee up in 2009 and his tackle of Rob Gronkowski in the AFC title game all but took Gronk out of the Super Bowl.
Just to mess with Pats fans even more, Bonecrusher should write out a "hit list" on his towel with names of prominent Patriots players a la the late Charles Martin against the Bears in 1986. Or at the very least, getting on the mic and cutting a Scott Steiner-esque promo, "I took out Bradee! I took out Welker! I took out Gronkowskee!! Bonecrusher is ya hook up! Holla, if ya hear me!"
---Madonna's halftime show. Well, the wife liked it. Not five seconds into the performance, as Madonna came out escorted by 100 shirtless dudes in Roman gladiator outfits, she says, "I like it already!"
My main gripe was this: the lip-synching. I believe the first actual live notes were from Cee Lo Green about nine minutes into the performance. It was a spectacle, yes, but shouldn't there be some actual singing involved?
Not to mention the fact that Madonna's dance moves looked like Jon Heder and Will Ferrell in "Blades of Glory," MIA's flipping off the camera and the fact that when a 53-year old woman does a cheerleader routine, it's gonna come off as awkward at best.
---It slays me that the Ravens were the only team over.500 the Patriots beat all year (they beat Denver in the divisional round but the Broncos finished 8-8). In fact, New England only played four over-.500 teams all season (the Giants twice, Pittsburgh and the Ravens) and lost three out of four.
---Note to Patriots owner Bob Kraft: If you're trying to court karma in your favor, allowing misogynist, racist, pill-popping radio gasbag Rush Limbaugh into your box is not the way to do it.
--- Clint Eastwood is still a bad mofo.
---Lots of celebrities needed money this year, whether it was a paunchy Matthew Broderick revisiting Ferris Bueller to sell cars, The Darkness pimping out "I Believe In A Thing Called Love" for a phone commercial or Jay Leno shilling for just about everything. Leno's presence in commercials always reminds me of Bill Hicks' legendary "Artistic Roll Call" bit, which is far too profane for me to link to. My personal favorite was Motley Crue's ad for Kia. Clearly the people at Kia did not read "The Dirt" before signing the guys up to endorse their cars.
--- I always get a kick out of Giants d-lineman Chris Canty and Justin Tuck wearing the most ridiculous bird cage facemasks I've ever seen.
--- Sure, now Vince Wilfork has an off game.
--- Now that he's caught a pass in the Super Bowl, it's formally time for Chad Ochocinco to call it a career and head off to making crappy reality shows full-time.
--- I can't believe the Super Bowl champions only won nine regular season games and lost by double digits to the 5-11 Redskins. Twice! Can't wait to see how those games are treated in the "America's Game" episode.
--- The last three teams to end the Ravens season are Indianapolis, Pittsburgh and New England. As galling as it's been to see them end our season, that they all lost the Super Bowl makes it a little more palatable. Interesting note: the last five times the Ravens have been to the playoffs (2006, 2008-11) they have been knocked out by the team that represented the AFC in the Super Bowl.
--- Finally, the 2011 season may have ended in a soul-crushing loss for my Baltimore Ravens, but I was encouraged by this tweet from Torrey Smith, "watching them celebrate gave me goosebumps....we will have that feeling in Baltimore soon enough."
Amen, Torrey. Next season can't get here soon enough.

Robokid – Mind & Body
I know we don't want to start thinking about studying already, but it's going to be necessary in the next couple of weeks. However, that doesn't mean you can't still enjoy some solid tunes while you're getting shit done. Check out "Mind and Body" and vibe while you work.

Went To A Real Pistol Range
Wow I haven't wanted to skip since I was a Kid but I did yesterday.
My Father & I went to Bake's Best Shot outside of Lexington,OH.
Great place really down to Earth.
We rented 2 lanes for 1 hour for only $15 with tax and 2 targets the butcher's bill came out to about $19.30.
We took about 50 rounds of mixed .45 ACP 230 grain FMJ and 72 rounds of mixed .38 Special 158 grain lead FP,LRN,125 grain FMJ& LSWC,and 158 grain Semi Jacketed bullets.
We blew the dust off Dad's Glock 30 .45 ACP,tested my new Taurus PT-1911,and burned the cosmolene out of my Windicator .357 Mag/.38 Special.
I slow fired 6 shots of .38 Spec looked at the damage, sent the target back and reloaded 6 more from HKS A-10 Speedloaders.
I don't mean to blow my own horn but I am missing alot less now.
I had a Miracle string with the Taurus don't know if I'll ever,ever,ever repeat those results.
Put (4) .45 ACP FMJ in 3 holes about the size of an IKE Silver Dollar with 2 more in that general area who knows where the last 2 of 8 went.
Now I don't think I'm "Doc" Holiday or anything but am tickled pink(no not literally) with all 3 handguns results.
Sounds like a lot of fun. Good shooting. Where are our pics?
Cool beans. :cool:
Pics or it didn't happen. ;)
Next time I'll take a camera in the range gear.
CA357 thanxs for the zombie pics.
Still trying to coordinate a group of people from my Church to take the CCW class so I need to do some more range time so I don't embareas myself with poor shooting( I'm already poor at spelling).

We always welcome a review to share with readers, if you have seen a film, read a book or been to a music gig recently and would like to share your review, get in touch. Guest reviews do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the publication. Ed
Death makes most people nervous – especially film reviewers. It's a brave or foolhardy director who decides to make a film not just about death, but that explores the possibilities of what may happen after death. Films like A Matter of Life and Death, Heaven Can Wait, What Dreams May Come or Lovely Bones can divide opinions enormously, and don't usually attract large audiences.
Clint Eastwood has here strayed far from his comfort zone in making what is obviously a very personal film.
The critics generally didn't like it. It was written by the excellent Peter Morgan, who wrote The Queen and Frost/Nixon, among others, and interleaves three separate stories.
Cécile de France, a French telejournalist who undergoes a horrific experience and finds herself changed by it. Matt Damon plays a San Francisco man who considers himself cursed by mediumship, and a young London schoolboy sets out to contact someone close to him who has died.
The film opens with an astonishing cinematic tour de force and then settles down to follow the three central characters in a quiet and engaging way. I found I cared very much about all three, and the stories never obviously went where I expected them to.
There were some genuinely affecting scenes, and a very satisfying conclusion. Cécile de France is always good, and Matt Damon unfussily plays a very ordinary man with a single extraordinary skill, which makes his life miserable.
I have only two niggles. Clint sadly uses stock footage in a terribly old-fashioned way to signpost geographical locations, like Tower Bridge and the Eiffel Tower, and I didn't feel that the soundtrack, written by the director, was always as effective and supportive as it should be.
But otherwise I really liked it right from the gasp-inducing opening scene to the end, and I've been thinking about it ever since I watched it, which is one of my personal indications of a good film. I shall definitely watch it again.

Home> Freightliner Parts> A/C Compressor
Your Search for the Perfect Freightliner AC Compressor is Almost Over!
BuyAutoParts.com – Your #1 Source for Freightliner AC Compressors
Freightliner AC compressors are built for heavy-duty delivery trucks, pickup trucks and similar vehicle models. Unlike regular car AC compressors, Freightliner components are designed to fit larger, more powerful engines. They're extremely popular as a 3rd-party compressor model for many different trucks, from the Ford Fairlane of the mid-70s all the way up to today's Dodge Sprinter.
The Freightliner AC Compressor is the heart of your vehicle's air-conditioning system, and one of the most important Freightliner AC parts. The primary function of the Freightliner AC Compressor is to maintain the flow of the refrigerant in the air-conditioning system. Without the compressor, the entire AC system simply won't work. The compressor pump is driven by the engine's crankshaft through a pulley. This mechanical coupling ensures that the AC compressor runs only when the engine is running. A magnetic clutch is attached to the pulley at the input shaft of the compressor. The AC compressor clutch engages the compressor input shaft with the pulley only when the AC is turned on. The compressor maintains the requisite pressure difference between the high-pressure and low-pressure sides of the system by drawing the refrigerant from the low-pressure side and compressing it. As the pressure in the refrigerant increases, the temperature also increases. This high-pressure, high-temperature refrigerant is then passed into the condenser where it is condensed into a liquid. Common symptoms of Freightliner AC compressor problems include refrigerant leaks and a failure of the cooling mechanism. If your Freightliner AC compressor is malfunctioning, you should replace it as soon as possible to prevent your air-conditioning system from sustaining further damage.
Browse Our Quality Selection of Freightliner AC Compressor Parts
If your truck needs a Freightliner AC compressor replacement, you've come to the right place. BuyAutoParts.com stocks Freightliner AC compressors for truck models dating back to 1972. With over 40 years' worth of truck compatibility to choose from, we're the one-stop shop for anyone looking to save money on their Freightliner compressor project. In addition to saving significant money with the part itself, you'll also avoid expensive labor costs. Some Freightliner AC compressor replacements can cost upwards of hundreds of dollars.
Our prices are ultra-affordable, and we stand by each Freightliner AC compressor we sell. Every part that leaves our warehouse is backed by a 1-year warranty, along with our Guaranteed Exact Fit promise. If your Freightliner AC compressor doesn't fit and perform like the original, simply send it back and we'll cover the associated costs.

Dave, just thought I would mention that the first hotels that come up are in San Pedro. A lot of people don't know that the Carnival Cruise Terminal is in Long Beach. Use the drop-down menu at the top to get to "Long Beach."
thanks guys that really helps me out a lot. :)

Citroen C4 reviews by year of make: 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Read all reviews
What a bag of rubbish! I've had the car one year and had various problems: The gear box went bang, the back shocks needed replacing, the gasket under cam shaft carrier has gone 6 times and a few other problems. Stay clear! The car had 12200 miles when I bought it and now has 25000.
Submitted: 2011-07-28 | ID: 37773
I purchased a 2007 C4 1.6 hdi with 17000 miles at end of 2010. The bodywork is very good except for the passenger side front mudguard, which keeps coming loose every time the car is used. The glovebox is badly designed for a car like this as it's pretty shallow and barely holds the handbooks; the real problem is that it jams closed from time to time and is a pig to get open again. The onboard computer cannot for some reason be reprogrammed to indicate l/100km useage. The front indicator lights are a real problem and continually give in and no sooner is one replaced then the other gives up; this has happened on 5 occasions now and is irritating, making me wonder what's going to be next. Money has been saved in the boot area as well; the spare wheel bounces around all the time causing rattles in the rear. But, and I have to say this, the engine is fabulous, giving up to 54mpg on the open road with incredibly smooth power all the time. For me, you can keep your BMWs and other very expensive cars. I've owned Clubs, DS20/5, C5 2.2hdi Estate, Xantia Estate and Xsara 2.0hdi Estate and all have been fantastic. It would be nice if Citroen could just improve their quality a bit more.

I purchased Citroen C4 hdi vtr +plus from a Vauxhall garage in March 2008 and the service I received was the best I have ever had. I took it into my local Citroen dealer to question a rumble I was getting from the front suspension and a quote for £845.00+vat was given. I booked it into the dealer who I purchased the car from and they only found two of the eight faults. My local Citroen dealer had said it needed urgent attention a front cv rubber boot and a front suspension drop down link. They had the car in at 9.00am in the morning and even sent one of their drivers 20 miles away to the nearest Citroen dealer to get the parts and had it back on the road by 3.00pm the same day. Now that's service. Citroen dealers are rubbish in every way. I phoned the Citroen dealer and explained everything and was told their technicians look for ways to make extra money because they're instructed to do by management. That's out of order. My Citroen C4 is fantastic, economical, comfy, and practical. Avoid Citroen dealers if you can - Mark F from England
The Citroen dealer you phoned TOLD YOU their technicians are told to be dishonest? Really, or are you fibbing a bit? - Steve RatPatrol from Australia

Purchased car with 300mls on clock and 3yrs warranty, fully serviced to date. A problem with the actuator on gearbox was fixed under warranty. Recently the engine started revving, rev dial going through the six gears, resulting in clutches burned out. Has done 37000mls and won't be 4yrs old till March. Expected car to be more reliable. No give and take with garage £1,100 approx to fix clutches.

I am usually extremely biased in favour of cars I buy - however, this bloody thing was a big mistake. Quality issues with the cabin, problems with the electronic child lock (won't lock at all), oil pressure issues and today it broke down for the second time. The latest issue seems to be the engine management computer. I was stupid enough, like with a few ex-girlfriends, to go for good looks. Never again!!!! I have ordered the wife to punch me if I ever look at Citroen again.
Responses to this review
I would avoid Arnold Clark where I bought mine. Had NOTHING but problems since day 1 with this car. ITS A HEAP!!! I feel your pain, Regards - Shaun Gibson from Mid-Lothian (Edinburghshire)
My son and daughter in law bought a C4 and it has been the most expensive mistake they have ever made. The car was not very old when they bought it, and within a couple of months the engine management system kept failing, cutting the engine down to idle when driving, and oil pressure light kept giving warnings. They took it to a Citroen specialist, who took it apart and charged £1,200. Then a couple of months later, it happened again with the engine management system. We went to another garage to see if they knew what was going on, they did huge amount of work and cost another £1,100. It ran ok for the next couple of months, then the electrics burnt out and is now in garage to have that sorted for another few hundred. Citroen have a lot to answer for with these piles of junk. My son is now going to sell it as soon as is out of garage and running again. He will never buy another Citroen - Gail Richard from England

I bought this car about three months ago after reading all the reviews. It has always had problems squeaky brakes/Oil leaking out from the air valves/rear seats won't lock/glove section sticks. Have taken it back to warranty twice but the problems still exits, took it back to part exchange for another model but was getting such a raw deal that I will never buy a Citroen car again.

Had the car about a month now, did have to go back for a warranty issue; boot handle replacement. Boot would unlock when doors opened, a known fault microswitch. I purchased from a dealer with 12 month waranty. I intended to change car or extened warranty in a years time so far very good lots of toys. MPG about 32 around town much better on the run. ; )

Responses to this review
I have a similar problem with the boot that kewpt unlocking on its own but now will not unlock at all. I also have found that it seems to have a lot of road rumble which on reading these reports should not be happening. This is still under warranty and I now intend to take it in. Thanks for your review, it has helped identify that this problem is not unusual. My C4 vtr is 09 reg - Arlene Mack from Lancashire

Bought it with 5k on speedo and it is superb - fast a bit thirsty about 32-36mpg the cruise control works well use it all the time it has the tiptronic gear box (think that's what it's called), plenty of room and has masses of extras. I am trading it Sept 10 for a new C3 diesel airdream, but will be sorry to see the C4 go.
Submitted: 2010-08-03 | ID: 37748
Bought second hand. A good runner, giving reasonable mileage, c.48mpg at 65mph. Cruise control sometimes indicates "service" but just a quick flick of the Clutch and/or Accelerator micro-switches cures this. Somewhat under-powered I think, as pulling off in 1st frequently gives horrendous judder throughout the chassis, but this disappears when the fuel gauge shows half full. MAJOR BUGBEAR: Unlike most cars the spare wheel is secured by a strap, not a butterfly nut/bolt. The strap comes loose, leading to an almighty thump from the spare jumping up and down when negotiating speed bumps etc.

I used to love my car. Very agile and manoeuvrable. The automatic lights and wipers work wonderfully well. Cruise control and speed limiter are superb features that I use a great deal. The fixed hub is brilliant- you know where the controls are! BUT my cruise control/speed limiter has started cutting out and, when it does so, the engine goes into some sort of 'safe' mode where the revs are limited. Face even a gentle motorway hill and you could be down to 45itmph very quickly!! (The fault rights itself every time you turn off the engine, but only for another few miles - if you're lucky.) As other reviewers say, Citroen can't solve this problem. My car has been to Slaters in Abergele 3 times and there has been no improvement. DON'T BUY THIS CAR. Once it develops this fault, you'll have to rush out and buy another car. Registered dealers can't repair it and you dare not drive a car whose power will suddenly reduce without warning.
Responses to this review
Hi, it couldn't be due an eloys fluid topup could it? I had a c5 with exactly the same symptoms. Basically eloys is injected into the Exhaust Cat from time to time to burn off the impurities it catches. At around 70000 my C5 started having no power on hills, basically the turbo cut out or rather was cut out by the ECU as it hadn't been able to clear the pollutants in the exhaust as the eloys needed topping up - Simon Brue from Lancashire
UPDATE: I was hasty in writing my earlier review. Slaters have repaired the car - under the guarantee - and it is as good as new. Well done, Slaters of Abergele, for successfully undertaking a repair that, judging by other reviews, many garages cannot manage. I love my C4 again. When I thought I'd have to change my car and looked for a replacement, I could not find anything in the same price range that had nearly such a good specification. Competing salesmen would boast all sorts of features on their cars, and I would think "my C4 has that - and more". The digital speedo is excellent and the speed limiter is even more useful than the cruise control. Set it and you can't break that speed limit or set off that speed camera no matter how hard you try (well - for safety, you can if you put pedal to metal). I hope to drive this car for many more miles yet. When I do change, it will almost certainly be to another C4. And Slaters of Abergele is the place I'll be going to do my buying and my servicing - Garth Higginbotham from Conwy
Did you find out how they fixed it ? I have a problem with the cruise control where occasionally I will get a "speed control" warning flash up on the display. It's never gone into limp home mode as a result although I have had that happen when the depolution warning light has come on once or twice. Luckily that was when I was parked. If you can tell us what the problem was and how they solved it you might be helping a lot of C4 owners :) - Saul Hudson from Hertfordshire
Much the same on my 2010,8000 ml Citroen vtr C4 1.6 auto; intermittant fault on gearbox, no warnin lights any gear any speed it just starts shaking not unlike wheel balance problem but lasts 1 or 2 minutes but if I brake or accelerate it disappears. Has been back to Lookers Blackpool 3 times now, they said take a note of the milage when it happens because they can trace the "fault" back on the computer. I'll give it a month of testing then they can have it back period! - Jim McKernan from England

Had it 1 month, been to garage 3 times, says it all really.

My first C4 had a catalogue of problems too long to list, but with a leap of faith I was given a good deal to change to a new one last year (a 5 door diesel instead of my previous coupe). The only issue I have had with my current C4 is some early driver's seat wear (the driver's seat fabric was replaced without argument). The car is 100% reliable mechanically and my mpg averages around 53. It is extremely quiet and comfortable on motorways and around town and whilst not as eye-catching as the coupe it is more practical. The cruise control works fine as do all the electrics and I have covered over 30,000 miles so far. The glove box has only stuck once but anyone who has previously owned a C4 might know a carefully aimed whack underneath the glove box releases it! Overall, I can forgive such things as it is such a good all-round car and is still something different with a unique dashboard layout.

Had the car now for just over a year. Love the looks and the engine which is very quick. The little innovations such as the air freshener in the vents is a nice touch. Overall it is a very nice car, but... firstly I developed a rattle from the boot lid, not major but very annoying. Then the glove box lid became stuck and would not open. Also, drivers side rear brake light had gone out. All 3 I got fixed under warranty. Then when it came back, the wiring in the glove box was left out and then my reverse lights became stuck on. Along with this, my rear wiper stayed stuck on the intermittent setting when the front wipers were put on. Nothing major but very annoying on a car that's only a year old. Now the rear brakes have developed an unnerving rubbing sound and my boot lid latch has become stuck. Oh, and also the rear seats seem to not want to lock into place. Another trip to the dealer would sort that out. But don't let these niggles put you off what is apparently a very good car according to a number of reviews. Just be wary when buying. I must admit, I have put in an order for a Golf R32 as I will not buy French again.

Car completely faultless in 10,000 miles, the only gripe is the un-Citroen like ride.
Submitted: 2008-05-16 | ID: 37798
Recently leased a 1.4 SX for my wife. Best small car in the market bar none. Great value for money and has all the mod cons of higher spec cars that cost much more. The drive is really smooth and the fual economy is excellent. It fits a baby seat in the back and pram in the boot no problem. Insurance is now a lot cheaper for us. The best feature it has is that when the car comes to a stop all the doors automaticly lock for security with a small button to disable. Great for single women at night. Well done Citroen..........

PITTSBURGH — Ray Graham ran for 277 yards and three touchdowns in his first start and Pittsburgh shook off three sluggish quarters to beat Florida International 44-17 Saturday.
The sophomore running back's third consecutive 100-yard game — his first two were off the bench — represented the second-highest rushing total in Pitt history. Only Tony Dorsett gained more, 303 against Notre Dame in 1975, the season before he won the Heisman Trophy.
Panthers coach Dave Wannstedt planned to give him a chance to break the record. But Pitt got the ball at the FIU 16 after a fumble recovery, and running back Chris Burns later scored its fourth touchdown of the fourth quarter.
"I'm honored just being mentioned with Tony Dorsett," said Graham, who scored on runs of 79, 34 and 19 yards and had 117 yards in the fourth quarter alone. "I would have liked to have broken the record. After (my last) touchdown, they were telling me I was on pace."
Pitt needed every yard Graham gained against an opponent whose signature victory to date since starting football in 2002 was against Toledo in 2008.
The Panthers led only 13-10 at halftime and 16-10 after three quarters before scoring four touchdowns in the fourth quarter against a program that is 14-72 all time. Graham scored two of them.
FIU managed to keep it close, answering Tino Sunseri's 9-yard touchdown pass to fullback Henry Hynoski early in the fourth quarter with Darriet Perry's second touchdown run.
But the Golden Panthers had no answer for Graham, who replaced injured second-team All-American Dion Lewis (shoulder).
"The way we run the ball, we could use four tailbacks," Wannstedt said. "We're so fortunate Dion stayed healthy last season. We'll use 'em both."
After Perry's second touchdown made it 23-17 with 12:07 left, Graham kept Pitt's next possession going by carrying three tacklers an extra 2 yards to gain a first down on a 15-yard run on third and 13.
On the next play, he burst through the left side of the line for a 79-yard score.
Tulane 17, Rutgers 14: Joe Kemp took a shotgun snap, threw a lateral to receiver D.J. Banks then caught Banks' pass for a 24-yard touchdown that helped the Green Wave pull off the upset. The play, which made it 17-10, was appropriately called "Rutgers pass," and it was added to the playbook on Sunday. "It always works in practice," said Kemp, whose team ended a six-game road skid. "But to come out here and do it in front of 50,000 people, wow." Rutgers starting quarterback Tom Savage, who entered with bruised ribs, sustained an undisclosed injury late in the first half and didn't return. The Scarlet Knights were called for nine penalties, including holdings that nullified a 95-yard kickoff return for a touchdown and a first-down play on their final drive. "We beat ourselves," offensive tackle Art Forst said. "We didn't execute. We had too many penalties. So that's when you shake your head and just feel sick, disgusted."
UConn 40, Vandy 21: Jordan Todman, who sat out last week with an injured left elbow, ran for 190 yards and two touchdowns for the host Huskies. Connecticut gave the Big East just its second win against a team from a BCS conference (West Virginia over Maryland). "Any time you can beat another BCS conference, it's important," coach Randy Edsall said. "It's not only important for us, but it's important for our league, for the Big East. At least we won't get hammered on ESPN." Tied at 21 at halftime, the Huskies outscored the Commodores 19-0 in the second half. "UConn made some good adjustments," Vanderbilt quarterback Larry Smith said. "I had a couple of poor throws, and the rest was history. They just came out there and hit us in the mouth on both sides of the ball. They dominated the entire second half."
Louisville 34, Ark. St. 24: Chris Philpott hit a 46-yard field goal with 3:54 remaining for the visiting Cardinals. Louisville built a 31-7 halftime lead before the Red Wolves closed to within 31-24 after Bobby Zalud hit a 35-yard field goal with 8:08 left. Josh Bellamy and Adam Froman connected on a pair of touchdown passes, and Louisville's Bilal Powell scored two TDs, one of them a 47-yard run on a fake punt. Powell finished with 157 yards on 21 carries.

After my pre-sunrise visit to the hectic and incredible Thiri Mingalar fish market in Yangon I moved on to something a bit more calm: Chinatown. The market is just off a main street and resembles no Chinatown I've ever seen. In fact, I'm not even sure why it's called Chinatown as the only thing Chinese about it were the Burmese ethnic minorities that looked Chinese. While Thiri Mingalar had me inches deep in fish blood and guts and people frantically pushing me out of the way to deliver their smelly dripping baskets perched on their shoulders, Chinatown was mellow and smelled of local fruits, spices, and baked goods.
How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Photograph the Children
Asian street markets are probably my favorite places to photograph because they always have so many exotic, unexpected, and new things to see, smell, touch, and taste. For the first time, however, I found myself photographing people instead of dragon fruit. There were so many new faces and so many beautiful children to see. This set the tone for the rest of my stay in Myanmar and my shooting style has veered sharply towards portraits ever since. At first I felt apprehensive (and a bit creepy) photographing children but parents were holding them up for me and sending them off to play with me. The children also seemed very excited to be photographed and many even called their friends over to join. Other parents called me over to photograph their children and were thrilled to see photos of their kids on the back of my camera.
Unidentifiable Eggs
After photographing some the children, I wandered deeper into the market and was immediately impressed by the variety of eggs. I saw traditional white and brown chicken eggs laid out on a newspaper covered in beautiful Burmese script, a huge stack of what appeared to be quail eggs, beautifully textured white eggs with dragon stickers on them, and a pile of "muddy" brown eggs that I definitely kept my distance from. I tried to ask what the muddy eggs were but got prices in response.
One of these things is not like the other.
A shop owner called these "Millennium eggs" but they looked nothing like the century / hundred year / thousand year / millennium eggs I've seen in other parts of Asia.
I hope this is mud.
Vegetarian Fare
There was plenty of strange meaty goodness as one would expect to see in any Chinatown around the world. Of course, it was all vegetarian friendly – these animals are just going about their day.
Some chickens taking a nap…
A pleco fish stretching it's fins out.
A few organs just hanging out, as organs do.
And finally some sort of mutant-lobster-sized-prawn-thing cooling off on a hot day.
Some of the older shop keepers and parents seemed to welcome the camera as a break from haggling and selling day.
This woman could hardly see me but called me over to practice English. She started to tell me about her hard life until she got close to criticizing the government then suddenly got quiet and acted like I wasn't even there. Surreal.
This Burmese man did not speak English but seemed to be a very kind soul. He is a great example of the one of the 100+ ethnic minorities in Myanmar, many of which are extremely oppressed. The ethnic minorities fight the hardest against the military junta that strives to forcibly unite the country and as a result minorities are singled out by the government for unpaid forced labor, relocation programs, and find their villages devastated by scorched-earth tactics.
I'd love to know more about this woman but she spoke no English (or at least didn't speak any to me). Things things she must have seen.
This guy surprisingly stopped and posed for a moment despite his huge load of Pop Soda and Coca-Cola.
A happy butcher smiles for me.
Obligatory Monks and Nuns
One of the groups the government dislikes the most seems to be the Burmese Buddhist monks. They are always involved in protests, criticizing the government for not living Buddhist lives, and apparently many Burmese generals go on to build many elaborate and expensive pagodas to make up for their misdeeds in the military. The people, however, absolutely love the monks from what I saw. Every morning monks and nuns walk the streets with a bowl to collect food for the monastery. Sometimes they'd come back for 4 or 5 bowls full before finishing. The poor and hungry are always welcome to come for free food and I've yet to see a single shop keeper not give the monks free food. In fact, they seem to give with a smile – very Buddhist of them.
When I saw this cute nun a second time she was totally hamming it up for the camera and posing. Her friend wanted no part in said shenanigans, however.
And The Rest
About a third of the workforce in the market appeared to be between the ages of 10 and 18. Some were helping their parents and others seemed to be the only people working their stalls.
This boy was rushing between shops, carrying food and drinks back and forth.
And this handsome fellow was preparing food all morning. He also posed for me every time I walked by.
It's easy to forget about the poverty and life under the military junta when you see stuff like this everywhere…
… but this is also when and where I started to notice that I was always being watched everywhere I went. No matter how remote my location, there were always people following me and watching me from a distance. From reading Finding George Orwell in Burma, these people apparently report tourist (and possible seditionist) actions to Military Intelligence in return for favors and protection. I didn't believe it when I read it in the book but I very quickly felt eyes on my back at all times once I landed in Myanmar.
I'd definitely recommend visiting the many street markets in Yangon but definitely make sure you don't discuss politics with any of the locals unless you want to make their lives and yours more difficult.

"I engaged in contests… Afterwards, resentment always remains.
Then, you have a bad feeling, whether you win or lose."
This video contains a fascinating interview of the Founder conducted about 1962 during which he is questioned about aikido. As was his custom, many of the Founder's comments reflect his spiritual views and mention Japanese kami. This recording affords a rare chance to gain an intimate glimpse of the Founder's warmth and personality.
You will hear the actual voice of Morihei Ueshiba as he talks about the circumstances of his birth, his daily routine, his enlightenment, his views of competition and war, his principle of non-resistance, and other subjects.
Morihei Ueshiba is the founder of aikido and was born in 1883. As a young man, he practiced a number of martial arts. Of these, the Daito-ryu jujutsu he learned from Sokaku Takeda was particularly important. Ueshiba was a very religious man and considered Onisaburo Deguchi, the co-founder of the Omoto religion, as his spiritual master. Morihei retired to the seclusion of the countryside during World War II, and continued to perfect his aikido. He was active spreading the art he created until shortly before his passing in 1969.
Excerpts from the interview:
When I entered the army I found little truth/sincerity. The goal is to always be victorious. The principle is to win at all costs. You must win the war, you cannot lose. Of course, it must be that way. The spirit of honor is the soldier's spirit. Honor is a concept such that, if you have even a few enemies, you must kill many. This becomes a meritorious deed. Because of this everything leads to conflict…
English subtitles provided. A series of beautiful close-up photos of the Founder serve as the backdrop for the interview.
