ENG vs SL Preview
Last time sri lanka met England it was a gloomy series for the Lankans it was evident that they weren't enjoying their time in the unfamiliar green pitches and the pre summer weather. The advantage was heavily in favor of England ,what saved Sri Lanka from humiliation was resolute batting from prasanna jayawardena and the English rain.
Sri Lankan tour was immediately followed by the Indian tour where india were swept away easily by England. But the question to be asked was how they will cope away from home in sub continent conditions. The recent series against Pakistan was a good eye opener for anyone who believes England are worthy to be the best international team in tests. The three Lions are a formidable opponent on pitches that help there fast bowlers but their bowling lacks the application required to bowl in the sub continent where the shine goes off the ball within the first hour.
If the first tour game was any indication to go by England seem prepared and in a very aggressive frame of mind. But any sort of aggressive behavior which crosses the line won't be tolerated by the sri lankan team. England will do well to focus on their skills rather than playing mind games. Furthermore england have been complaining about the weather in a way that only Englishman can do ,surely they realize they're in a different continent .Sri Lankans don't complain about green pitches and the cold weather when they tour England.
The Major concern for sri lanka will be how quickly they can adapt to home conditions. And there is also a concern as to how fit the battle weary lankan team is going to be, one can assume that they might be mentally and physically drained when they turn-up for the first match in Galle.May be it would have been prudent for the senior batsmen to return home after the CB series.Sri Lanka will rely heavily on Sanga,Mahela and Samaraweera for big scores while others bat around them.Rest of the batting is a concern tharanga paranavitha who is a heavy scorer in domestic cricket hasn't taken his chance I feel time is running out for him therefore he will have to make this series count.Dilshan can be a hit or miss in test cricket hopefully he'll be hit on home conditions.Then there is the case of which wicket keeper to use since Angelo Matthews is injured we might see chandimal playing as pure batsmen and jayawardena doing the keeping duties.
Sri lanka's bowling is a main concern going into the series the only bowler that can be penciled in straight away is Rangana herath. since sri lanka haven't announced a squad when this is being written I assume that the other bowlers might be Shaminda Eranga,Suranga Lakmal and hopefully Sacithra Senanayake.Other bowling options might be welegedara and Randiv/prasanna.Not a threatening bowling line up by any standards England batsmen will breathe a sigh of relief after what they faced against the Pakistanis. It will fall on ranagana herath to takethe majority of the wickets hopefully the other bowlers also chip in with a few wickets.If sri lankan bowlers don't create enough pressure the likes of cook and trott will put up massive scores easily.
Compared to Sri lanka England have a steady bowling line up with James Anderson leading the pace attack,he had a poor series against Pakistan where he bowled accurately without much success if the ball starts to reverse swing he will cause the batsmen some problems.The biggest threat I believe will come from the 6 foot 7 inch Steven Finn who most people seem to overlook. In sri Lankan condition batsmen rarely gets bothered by short bowls they expect the ball to come in at a nice height. Finns ability to get bounce from a good length will surprise many sri lankan batsmen.Then England have the overrated Graeme swann sri lanka should be able to handle his spin easily they're plenty of similar spinner s in domestic cricket.The Lankans should look out for the inform Monty panesar who's in good form,he's had a good series in the u.a.e his confidence will be high.The lankan batsmen will do well to have a good look at panesars bowling before attacking him.Other bowlers include stuart broad who's in good form as well, he seems to have gone back to the bowling basics and will be different bowler to the one sri lanka encountered in England.If England bowlers bowl as a unit they will a tough opposition for the batsmen.
The test series promises to be good one neither team I think have a clear advantage going into the matches.The sri lankan will be a little set back with their batting stars being overworked and the lack of planning. While England have been acclimatizing them selves eager for the battle that is to come.I feel that the team that scores the most runs in the first innings will be favorites to win the matches.

my squad will be ...dilshan , maheela , sanga , samaraweera , chamara silva , mathews , chandimal (as keeper) , randiv , eranga , ajantha mendis (only if spin friendly pitch) , and obviously another fast bowler , go for variety in welegedera or tall lanky medium in lakaml or gives he all and probaly the fastest but another right arm fast bowler in dammika prasad......the reason i chose chamara silva is because the guy did have a fantastic domestic season and is going good against england in the pratice game and it tells me his in a bit of form .....prasana jayawardena didnt do to well against england he got got for 0 and 2....and im going with suraj randiv instead of herath is because i am worried about our bowling and im not sure we can take 20 wickets so want to make the batting as long as possible but in saying that he is a good bowler as well...and oh ...i went for maheela to open is because tharanga paranavitana is to be honest a boring player to watch and i think maheela can do well opening in test matchs as well as he did in the ODI'S but i dont think that will happen ....
Unless SL gets over the inconsistent batting dramas of the last few series they will lose to Eng. You dont become the number 1 team for nothing - they have solid batting and bowling options. SL's attack is thin at best but any chance of gettng 20 wickets will depend on the batter getting plenty of runs. I would play a 6/5 option and I am surprised SL havent included 3 spinners in the squad. Its almost a waster for SL to play 3 seamers (with two spinners) and not sure if that is now an option without the 3 spiners. If its 7/4 Dilshan, Lahiru, Sanga, Mahela, Thilan,Chandimal, Prasanna, Randiv, Herath, Lakmal and Welegedera.

The judge said that the original sentencing of Hajara Ibrahim, 18, had been wrong.
At a previous court appearance in Dass, Bauchi state, the defence said Ms Ibrahim's marriage was not consummated, so she could not be guilty of adultery.
The case had attracted widespread interest in Nigeria and further afield.
"I am happy that I have been acquitted," Ms Ibrahim, told AFP after the ruling.
"I thank God and those that helped me through this trying moment."
The lower court had sentenced Ms Ibrahim to 100 lashes and death by stoning after she confessed to having unlawful sex with a 35-year-old man, Dauda Sani.
Mr Sani was freed due to lack of evidence.
Nobody has been lawfully stoned to death in Nigeria in the four years since 12 states in the north introduced Sharia law, as all such sentences have been overturned on appeal, reports say.

Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Hello, I am Rafael. Thanks for asking your question - I'm here to support you. (Information posted here is not private or confidential but public).
I ma very sorry to know about this real nightmare.
Unhappily there is not much you could do to change her serious situation and further worsening, buy you need to make sure you make everything possible to protect from her preventing any form or abuse, violence or harm to your integrity.
I do not see an alternative here but to get a restraining order t=and to be very careful from now on, since it would not fix things, just allow you to protect yourselves and when a new episode arises you would have the legal means to request support to be enforced to stop her, and for her to receive some support. This is not easy at all, but that's what you can do.

The Republican candidate's campaigns continue. Rick Santorum has been declared the winner of the Minnesota primary, the Colorado non-binding caucus, and the Missouri "beauty contest". Santorum spoke a lot about health insurance in his victory speech.
One of the reasons why it is important for a candidate to win a primary is because of the delegates. The candidate who wins a state primary will get the votes of the delegates of that state. This is important because eventually, the Republican party will have to select one of the many candidates who are running. It is the delegates who vote.
The Missouri primary is called a "beauty contest" because the state has not yet selected who its delegates will be. No delegates from this state will be apportioned to Santorum, or anyone else, at this time. The Colorado caucus is also a non-binding one, that does not apportion delegates to the candidate who wins.
Rick Santorum won the Minnesota primary, the Colorado caucus, and the Missouri "beauty contest". He gave a victory speech in Missouri, and it seems to be intended to include the people of both Missouri and Minnesota. He had a lot to say about health insurance.
Towards the beginning of his speech, Santorum said:
"When it came to the problems that were being confronted on Obamacare, when the health care system in this country, did President Obama, when he was pushing forward his radical health care ideas, listen to the American people? Why? Because he thinks he knows better how to run your lives and manage your health care."
The sentence structure is a bit of a mess. However, it is clear that Santorum is attacking President Obama, and the Affordable Care Act that the Obama administration created. Many Republicans prefer to say Obamacare than to say Affordable Care Act. Santorum is saying that the ACA reforms are "radical health care ideas", and he states that President Obama is not listening to what the American people want.
Later on, Santorum says:
"The president over the last few years has tried to tell you that he, in fact, the government can give you rights, the government can take care of you and provide for you. They can give you the right to health care, like in Obamacare."
"But look what happens when the government gives you rights. When the government gives you rights, unlike when God gives you rights, the government can take them away. When government gives you rights, the government can tell you how to exercise those rights."
"And we saw that just in the last week, with a group of people, a small group of people, the Catholics in the United States of America who were told you have a right to health care, but you will have the health care that we tell you, you have to give your people, whether it is against the teachings of your church or not."
Clearly, the situation that Santorum is referring to here is the battle that is going on between the Obama administration and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops in regards to the requirement that all employer-sponsored health insurance plans include coverage of birth control. It is worth noting that Rick Santorum just so happens to be Catholic.

Defending Dirk Nowitzki: Blazers can't finish the job
Game 1: Dirk Nowitzki, 28 points, 10 rebounds, 13-of-13 free throws
Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki shot a horrendous 3-for-12 in the first half of Game 1.
The second half was little better. The Mavericks star's offensive repertoire involves an assortment of off-balance and fade-away shots, but Saturday night was on the extreme side. The Blazers threw a variety of defenders at Nowitzki, and it seemed to befuddle him.
With four minutes left Saturday, he was 4-of-16 from the field, but American Airlines Center fans chanted "MVP, MVP" as he made four late free throws to pull the Mavericks back even at 72.
Nowitzki finished 13-of-13 from the foul line, where he accounted for nearly half of his scoring.

First draft: 110, 850 words (365 pages at 12pt TNR, for the page-inclined)
Second draft: 90,824 words (319 pages at 12pt TNR)
Third draft: 78,303 words (285 pages at 12pt TNR)
Of course, the numbers only tell half the story. The, um, story tells the other half. And I think this is the first draft that really resembles the book I set out to write. If I had to be done today, I think that what I've got would do.
That said, now that all the extraneous bits are gone (and believe me, some of them I hated cutting), I can really see some spots where the potential exists to make this book as good as I possibly can. I expect my fourth draft is going to be back up over 80,000, if only barely. Then it's off to my wife, and, assuming she doesn't crucify it, another quick polish and it's out the door.

Mayor Touts Columbus Economy, Pushes For Better Schools
When you look at other big cities and how they've struggled during this national recession, Columbus really is a remarkable story.
"I am here to report to you that the state of our city is strong and getting stronger," said Coleman.
Coleman said the city has created almost 3,300 new jobs. He said that leads the Midwest in job creation.
Coleman also said the city's crime rate has dropped.
But the Mayor said there's much to be done, including focusing on blighted neighborhoods and the school system.
"I want you to know in three years the worst vacant and abandoned properties will no longer plague our communities," said Coleman.
On revitalization, Coleman announced $300,000 for the south side of the city.
Coleman's opponents agree that Columbus has remained economically strong during the national recession, but called on him to consider rolling back the income tax.
"We're going to have more revenue than we absolutely need, why shouldn't that go back to people who are working here and our taxpayers within Columbus and making sure that we're staying focused," said Greg Lawson, Republican candidate for city council.
On education, Coleman said it must get better, pointing out few Columbus schools currently receive an A.
"This is the fight for the very soul of our city as educating kids is nothing less than the civil rights movement of our time," he added.
Coleman is proposing a complete study of the district's business practices, a system to find better teachers and more pre-school access for children. He asked the business community to help replace failing schools.

Gulfstream Aerospace and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) flew the super-midsize G250 for the first time on December 11, and at press time were expecting the new airplane to fly again, weather permitting. This second flight could see the Honeywell HTF7250G-powered twinjet reach 40,000 feet and Mach 0.8, according to IAI chief test pilot Ronen Shapira. During the first flight, which lasted three hours and 21 minutes, Shapira and his copilot took the airplane to 253 knots and 32,000 feet, part of a detailed flight-test card that the flight crew completed more quickly than expected.
A derivative of the G200 (the former IAI Galaxy), the first G250 rolled out under its own power with Shapira at the controls on October 6 in front of some 600 people at IAI's manufacturing facility on Ben Gurion International airport in Tel Aviv, Israel. While Gulfstream and Shapira would not comment on orders for the new model, an IAI spokesperson at the rollout said that eight or nine had been signed. A knowledgeable observer at the rollout, who wished not to be identified, told AIN he knew of a number wealthy individuals in the U.S. who had placed orders for the airplane.
After taking off at 8:16 a.m. local time (0616 UTC) from Ben Gurion airport, the pilots climbed at reduced thrust and with the landing gear down to 10,000 feet, where they performed initial checks of several systems, including cycling the landing gear and flaps and varying airspeed from 130 to 200 knots. "I wanted to be sure the landing gear worked, so I had watched it operate at least 50 times in the hangar before the first flight, lying on the floor so I could see the system operating," Shapira said.
The crew then took the airplane in steps to 32,000 feet and 250 knots, checking the flight controls and handling qualities at each point on the test card. Systems checked included the autopilot, autothrottle, pressurization and environmental control. Shapira said the flight was "extremely smooth with no issues," but he did have some concern before landing because the wind speed had increased earlier than expected.
"We had a nine-knot crosswind and had planned for less than five knots," he said. But the airplane had a surprise for him. Said Shapira, "I made one of the most beautiful landings in my life," which means a lot coming from a pilot who has more than 10,000 hours and experience in 747s, 737s, MD-11s, many Gulfstream jets and several fighters, including the F-15 and IAI Kfir and Levi. He attributed the G250's smooth landing to its fly-by-wire roll spoilers and rudder and mechanical ailerons. "We [IAI and Gulfstream engineers and pilots] spent a lot of time on handling qualities in the simulator," he said. Gulfstream pilots will join the G250 flight-test team in about two months, said Shapira.
Planned performance objectives for the G250 include Mach 0.85 Mmo, maximum altitude of 45,000 feet and 3,400-nm NBAA IFR range at Mach 0.80. Its new transonic wing, T tail, Rockwell Collins PlaneView 250 cockpit and two additional cabin windows (19 total) are main features that set it apart from the G200. The elimination of the G200's aft-fuselage fuel tank increases the usable volume of the cabin and provides in-flight access to the baggage compartment. The airplane's base price is $24 million (2008 $).
Said Itzhak Nissan, president and CEO of IAI, "The successful first flight of the G250 represents the achievements of Gulfstream and IAI as the designers, integrators and manufacturers of this advanced business jet. IAI continues to benefit from its world-leading, strategic partnership with Gulfstream."
According to Gulfstream, the G250 remains on schedule for type certification by Israeli civil aviation authorities by next year, with FAA validation and entry-into-service the same year. Although it is derived from the G200, the G250 requires a new type certificate because of its new wing and tail, Shapira said.
Bizav Flight Activity Strengthening, ARG/US Data Shows
November business aircraft flight activity indicates a "continued trend toward recovery," according to TraqPak data from aviation specialized services firm Aviation Research Group/U.S. (ARG/US). The data indicates that business aircraft activity for the month was up 22.7 percent year-over-year and 3.15 percent above October activity. Flight activity for both aircraft types and operators logged across-the-board increases, the only exception being fractional light jets (down 3.6 percent from November last year). Large-cabin jets led the improvement at 28.1 percent versus a year ago; midsize jet activity was up 26.2 percent, turboprops rose 24.2 percent and light jets were up 14.3 percent. Part 135 flying increased 34.1 percent year-over-year, fractionals were up 21.2 percent and Part 91 operators gained by 18.3 percent. Teal Group aerospace analyst Richard Aboulafia told AIN that these numbers are "more evidence of market stabilization," though he cautioned, "Stabilization is a long way from recovery, let alone a return to growth." –C.T.

A new family code that strengthens women's marriage and property rights passed in Mali's parliament on August 3rd by 117 votes to 5. That's a pretty strong consensus, right? Not so fast. Islamic leaders from the village to the national level are demanding that politicians refrain from enforcing the law.
At a meeting called by the Islamic council on 9 August at the largest mosque in the capital Bamako, hundreds of religious and village leaders gathered in opposition to the code.
"We cannot ban traditional marriages," said one of Bamako's district leaders, Bouramablen Traoré. The president of a Muslim youth group, Amadou Bah, asked followers to "curse government officials who voted yes to the family code", calling them "anti-Islamists" who "will be sanctioned by the All-Powerful".
Religious leader El Hadj Koké Kallé intervened to stop would-be arsonists from reaching the National Assembly 100m from the mosque.
Pressure from religious conservatives affected some parliamentarians' thinking on the bill.
One of five parliament members who voted against the code, Abdoulaye Dembélé, said he could not risk upsetting his constituents. "I cannot go before my voters and tell them that religious marriages are not legal… that a woman should no longer obey her husband and that they should respect one another equally… If I do this, voters will punish me in the next elections."
State authorities may be feeling the pressure too. A source who spoke to IRIN indicated the government may not fully enforce the law.
This incident is not the first time Islamic leaders in Mali have addressed policy issues. Organizations like the Islamic Salvation Association objected to an early draft of the family code in 2008, and the High Islamic Council of Mali opposed President Toure's proposal to abolish the death penalty the same year.
The High Islamic Council itself resulted from the flowering of Islamic associations in Mali during the 1990s and a simultaneous growth in religiously-tinged criticism of the government. The state formed the Council in 2002 to provide representation – and supervision – for religious constituencies.
I am learning about Mali slowly, but looking at the debate there I am reminded of Senegal. In both countries, controversies about religious values and social mores take place within a largely democratic framework.
When I studied in Senegal during the 2007 presidential elections, I saw a fruitful coexistence between the Sufi brotherhoods and politicians who drew on brotherhood support but also employed largely secular technocratic and/or populist campaign themes. Moreover, Senegal had its own debate on family codes in the 1970s. A secular democracy populated by devout Muslims survived that battle and others.
I am also reminded, however, of Morocco, where debates over family law between the state, feminists, and Islamists have sometimes grown quite fierce.
The potential for violence exists, but I imagine Mali's religious leaders will reject that route. After all, if they can show their muscle as a component of civil society but not provoke confrontations with the state, they may find their power increases even if they lose on this issue.

Thanks to E3 2013, we've recently seen trailers for a lot of exciting new sequels from Ubisoft, including the latest in its yearly staple, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, and the co-operative stealth gameplay of Splinter Cell: Blacklist. The publisher's E3 showing went over well with the masses, since the company has a decent track record with sequels, and quite a few of their series have actually become better with each new installment.
Yet in the mix of new IPs and regular installments, there was one once-great franchise left out in the cold: Prince of Persia. Now, it seems, the company may have actually been saving their best for last.
As fans of Beyond Good & Evil are acutely aware, Ubisoft isn't a publisher to rush out a sequel before it's ready. As such, when Ubisoft's EMEA director Alain Corre was recently asked about a number of highly-anticipated follow-ups that have yet to be announced – including the next Prince of Persia game – he refused to say anything more committal than "they're cooking."
At the time, we estimated that Far Cry 4 would most likely be the next game announced, considering the blistering success of last year's Far Cry 3, but that guess may turn out to have been off-target.
According to a new tease from Ubisoft's official Prince of Persia Facebook page, fans of the series should "get ready for some news about Prince of Persia, starting next week." Considering how iconic and influential the PoP games are within the history of platform gaming, the promise of a new addition to the series would be undoubtedly fantastic news … if that's what's being hinted at.
Remember to temper any excitement with a little caution; a similar situation occurred very recently, with Eidos-Montréal posting teasers about a new game in the Deus Ex series called Deus Ex: The Fall, which had many fans excitedly believing that it would be the next big chapter in the franchise. The wave of disappointment was palpable when the game was revealed to be an iOS exclusive spin-off game based on the tie-in novel for Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Good news for iPad and iPhone owners, perhaps, but disappointing for PC and console players who were expecting something a little more substantial.
The lesson here is that, while the announcement of a brand new full Prince of Persia game would definitely be something to get excited for, the recent comments from Corre didn't seem to indicate that anything along those lines was in development, and more or less every recent hint at such a project has been debunked. Don't be too disappointed if the news is about a $6.99 iPhone game, or a re-release of one of the older games for next-gen consoles.
Are you excited to hear what Ubisoft is planning for the Prince of Persia series, or are you as cynical and jaded as we are?

"I think of a place
Where our soul is pure!
I think of a place
Where no ones confused for what they do
Everyone's damn sure
I think of a place
Where people don't have problems
But if they do -they get it with cures
I think of a place
Where we rule the place
Without a tenure
We ourselves give us full assure-
For what we do what we see and what we hear
Is right and will be true!
No unnecessary payment no punishments no sue!
This a place which I think of.......
I have imagined
Now can you?"

Bihar is my birthplace
filled with different culture , language and face
personalities like Aryabhatta , Chanakya left their trace
no Bihari wants to lose
everyone wants to win the race
we have got a competitive personality
Bihar is one of the best choice for educational facility
People are daring
they do not fear in facing the reality
Lord Buddha is a great part of our state
when it comes to opportunities , we Biharis don't wait
They don't depend on others
they create their own fate
to finish a work , they do it today
they don't need a date
they like things to be done in speed
but no hurry no late
Biharis always encourage love
and discourage hate
hope you will like my Bihar
we Biharis are waiting for you
Better don't be late!!!!!
"Meeting you was my fate
That day for a coffee you gave me a date
And look ! I still wait
I don't know what happened yet!!
I look for my luck under the pillow inside my shoe
Oh! dear luck where are you?
My mind's reducing to less little and few!
I am restless , got nothing to do!
The first time i saw you
My heart just blew blew and blew
Your love for me was just as small as a drop of dew
That's why I feel like putting my heart on a blade
But still my love for you my love will never fade
You can give me all of your hate
But still I will and wait
Are you listening my dear ILL-FATE???"
My life- so ABSURD!
I thought to go up very high just like a bird
As the days passed on-
My life became like an unstable castle of mud
My school life has been a piece of shit
In school buses got punishment for no reason-
"Yes you! from now on this is your permanent seat where you have to sit"
My life kept changing like seasons
Never stable always like a torn label
I was forced to leave my friends
Not to follow any kind of new trends
I gave as much love as I could to them
But back stabbing was the very response that they used to send
My life became like a burden to me
Have got no money with me
Or else would have already flee!
Would have preferred living with the loneliness and just me
I handled everyone's emotions
But hey now I am sad can't you see?
The above mentioned lines are the hell that goes on with me!!!
What a wonderful world you created O God!
What wonderful creatures you gave birth to O lord!
You gave me a wonderful mother
You provided a bird with colorful feather
A family with sister and brother
The ones who are misguided, you show them a path
You always teach us to spit out our wrath
You bestowed the facilities on us to stay alive
You gave each and every creature a quality of intelligence
A bee to make a hive
A person to fight for his rights
You made sun to light and moon so bright
Stars keep twinkling at night
You are the strongest
You are the mightiest
You want us to be the bravest
And the smartest
I am sorry if I did anything wrong
I conclude this poem by saying that-
"everyone has to die a day , no one stays here for too long!"
In this small pool of loneliness
I'm trying to escape from the ghost of darkness
I need an angel who'll help me out from this cage
I don't want to lose myself
Cause of any carelessness
I may drown I may die
I will miss you
Speaking all truth it isn't a lie
You can be my life jacket
If you save me; we can share a big "lays" packet
Only if I survive
We can see together a bee hive
If no one comes to me
There isn't an ounce for me to be alive
My legs are moving down
The ghost of darkness is seeing me with a frown
Help me someone before I get down!

I assume being a 1997 Alfa, that car is now rusting on a scrapheap somewhere. :Flush:
Yeah, uncool - never looked all that great to me, and the usual savage depreciation with reliability worries. A car you can rule out with your heart and your head!
When was the last time an alfa won le mans by the way?
Funny how that 'tractor' seems to do well

WJTV – In a text message to News Channel 12 Tuesday night, former MRA head coach Forrest Williams says he has accepted the head football coach and athletic director position at Long Beach High School.
Williams takes over a Long Beach program that did not win a game in 2013 and has only one win in the last two seasons.
In three seasons with the Patriots, Williams led the team to a 24-14 record and three straight trips to the playoffs. He resigned from his post at MRA back in January.

1. Eastside West Wednesdays: After a long day at work, LTB's priority list usually consists of a drink, something nourishing to eat, and some nice music on the stereo. Now, Eastside West has offered to let humpday sufferers enjoy all of these things in public. Every Wednesday night, $8 buys you your choice of a burger or sandwich, and it comes with either a beer or a glass of wine. And they have live jazz! This is a deal that all cardinal directions can get behind. (Wednesdays, all night, at Eastside West, 3154 Fillmore St., Marina.)
2. Ladies Wine-d Up at CAV: The Upper Market wine bar CAV is looking to lure in the ladies, and we all know that ladies like wine.

3. Pasta Moto Happy Hour: We have done many things in pursuit of cheap drinks: attended weird parties where we knew no one, ventured to the outermost reaches of neighborhoods we've never heard of, sipped horrific concoctions made with weird novelty liquors. But none of that matters, because now we can do the laziest, most American form of drinking possible: go to happy hour in a mall. Yup, a mall. The Italian place in the Westfield Centre food court has $3 beers and glasses of wine and $5 pizza margherita and pasta pomodoro during its "Social Hour." If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere. (Daily, 5-7 pm, at Pasta Moto, Westfield San Francisco Centre, 845 Market St., Mid-Market.)

5. World Cup Finals at Pisco: This Latin lounge will probably be pushing for Spain, but Netherlands fans are equally welcome to drink during its World Cup happy hour, starting at 11:30 am. Beers are $3, team-themed cocktails are $5, and piqueos and tapas start at $3.50. Either way, you win. (Sunday, July 11th, 11:30 am-2 pm, at Pisco Latin Lounge, 1817 Market St., Upper Market.)

If you've been wondering the average number of words per page, you've gotta read this!
This morning, Laurynda forwarded me an excellent resource that was submitted to her from Martyn Lloyd regarding page lengths and respective word counts as published by Gloria T. Delamar of the Philadelphia Writer's Conference Inc.
For instance, you'll find helpful nuggets like this:
Bear in mind that to say you have a manuscript of fifty pages, doesn't adequately convey its length. It depends on how many characters-per-inch (cpi) it was printed at.
If printed at 10 cpi, there will be about 250 words per page, making the manuscript about 12,500 words; if printed at 12 cpi, there will be about 300 words per page, making the manuscript 15,000 words. A heftier manuscript of 250 pages can mean the difference between 62,500 and 75,000 words.
If you'd like more information about the average word counts for a wide array of publications, check out this excellent resource here at the Philadelphia Writer's Conference website.
Thank you again to Martyn for sharing this resource.

HE may be a Super Rugby regular with the ACT Brumbies nowadays, but Queanbeyan Whites winger Robbie Coleman believes there will be many more chances for his local club to win another John I Dent Cup.
Playing in just his second game for the Whites this year, Coleman, who played all of his junior and senior local rugby for the club, was picked at wing by coach Adam Fahey in the grand final, having no Brumbies commitments at the moment.
He sustained a minor leg injury at the end of the Brumbies season, and had a slight limp during the John I Dent Cup grand final, but was cleared by Brumbies doctors to play.
But despite being one of the most prolific try-scorers for the Brumbies this year and locking down his spot on the wing for the long term, he was confident the Whites would keep improving to allow him the chance to claim another local championship.
"It's not personal for me, I just love coming back and playing for these boys, and it shows that they go out there, without individual superstars, and work for each other, and go out there and give it there all," said Coleman.
"I'll always put my hand up and help them out because playing for that team is special. There were two tries against the run of play today [grand final] that hurt us a bit, but I couldn't be more proud of them."
Coleman was part of the club's last John I Dent Cup winning side in 2010, and also played in the 2009 grand final when his men lost to the Vikings.
He said he spent the week of training leading up to this year's grand final helping out the younger players.
"I gave them some pointers, but they still know their systems...the average age is only about 20, so there's positive signs to come," he said.
Coleman will now turn his focus to the Canberra Vikings domestic competition side, who kick their campaign off on August 23.

Plump, greenish-yellow and pebbly in texture, it is not much to look at. It can be nuisance, too, poisoning dogs and squishing noisily under automobile tires. But Bufo Marinus, also known as the cane toad, has become an international celebrity of late, inspiring drug-war hysteria in the U.S. and trade talks in the Far East. Here is its tale, warts and all.
This large toad - some attain the girth of Frisbees - once lived quietly in the warmer regions of the Americas, ranging as far north as central California. In the 1930's it was exported to Australia in an attempt to control beetles infesting cane fields (hence its common name). Like many amphibians, B. Marinus wards off predators by secreting a toxig goo from glands in its skin. The secretion contains a compound called bufotenine, which resembles the neurotransmitter serotonin and also occurs in certain toadstools and plants. Although these bufotenine-containing substances can be lethal, they have reportedly been used as intoxicants by some "primitive" societies.
Intrigued by these accounts, U.S. researchers synthesized bufotenine and began testing it in humans - along with many other psychoactive drugs - in the 1950's, according to Stephen Szara, chief of the biomedical branch of the National Institute on Drug Abuse. These investigators, he says, hoped to gain insights into schizophrenia and other mental disorders. The Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency also supported the work as part of an effort to develop brainwashing agents.
In one experiment, researchers injected bufotenine into four inmates of an Ohio prison. The prisoners experienced hallucinatory effects "reminiscent of LSD and mescaline" as well as nausea and chest pains, the scientists reported in the May 18, 1956, issue of Science. The investigators also observed that "if the color of an eggplant were diluted, it would approximate the unique purple hue of the faces of the subjects." These side effects, Szara says, discouraged further studies of bufotenine - of an official nature.
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration outlawed bufotenine in the late 1960's. Ironically, the DEA's action inspired a few people to try licking live toads, says Darryl S. Inaba, director of drug programs at the Haight-Ashbury Free Medical Clinic in San Francisco, ground zero of the 1960's drug culture. But these adventurers became sick rather than high, he adds, and toad licking never caught on.
For the past two years, however, newspapers have been filled with lurid accounts of cane toad abuse. In April, 1988, USA Today reported that Australian "hippies" were "forsaking traditional drugs for cane toads, which they boil for a slimy, potentially lethal cocktail." Although Australian authorities have denied the story, it apparently primed the media for more. A few months later Inaba gave a lecture on drugs in which he mentioned - for comic relief, he says - the rare 1960's practice of toad licking. Soon reporters all across the world were calling to inquire about "crazed hippies licking toads in the mountains," says Alex Stalcup, director of the clinic.
Inaba and Stalcup assured the reporters that there is no evidence that anyone is ingesting toad secretions - an assertion that law-enforcement officials confirm. "It's not anything the Drug Enforcement Administration is worried about," says Cornelius Dougherty, a spokesperson in Washington, D.C. But the story persisted. "Toads take a licking from desperate druggies," exclaimed the New York Post this past January. "How low will people stoop to get high?" sneered the Santa Clara (California) Press Democrat.
Inevitably, reality imitated fiction. Last year, Stalcup says, two teenagers in New Mexico ingested cane toad toxin after reading stories about the "fad" and had to be hospitalized. An Australian youth died after eating cane toad eggs. "This rumor has caused a lot of misery," Stalcup says.
Meanwhile Australia is coping with other toad-related problems. Cane toads have become so abundant in the northeast of the country that they have driven out indigenous amphibians and have poisoned other wildlife and pets. Some dogs have even become compulsive toad lickers, according to Glen Ingram, a herpetologist at the Queensland Museum. "It gives them a kick, perhaps like alcohol," he explained to a newspaper. Angry Australians have organized "toad eradication" outings; golf clubs and cricket bats, while officially frowned on, are the favored instruments of execution.
Yet the citizens of Brisbane may have found a silver lining in the toad glut. They recently persuaded China, whose traditional medicines include compounds from other Bufo species, to explore the therapeutic potential of B. marinus venom. In April Brisbane's Office of Economic Development shipped 100 grams of the stuff to the Shanghai Industry Foundation. Other Brisbanians are marketing products made of toad leather. Although single toad skins are somewhat small, says Mark C. Underhill of the development office, they make "quite attractive" wallets, purses and even outerwear if artfully sewn together. If you can't lick them, join them.- John Horgan

so someone made a video of what i have been saying that apparently close to no one understands.
do you think it would have went this far if feminists went in droves to every and each fuckin advertising compagnies HQ EVERYTIME they fucked up, throwing bricks and what not at their CEOs??-you don t HAVE to hit them with it, just throw it for them to get that you don t like them enough to smash their windshield in pieces-
-My theory is they won t get it if they don t feel in danger themselves: if their life isn t in danger they won t understand not to do this shit, because they are men of power(and used to deal with any threat within the bounds of the law).
Oh and yea, taking their money doesn t work because if you wait for justice to get them you won t get farther than a slap on the wrist : a few millions while it is common knowledge they have billions. so life threat? yeah. the only way to me. although i m not concerned enough to go past writing about it. it IS a woman fight anyway.
do you have any other theory? i m pretty young, i admit i see only brutal violence for answer like any stereotypical teen....-
NOW do you see the importance of bending mattel and others to your will feminists?
it begins at the tender age. girls growing in that kind of world are influenced by that kind of ad. if their toys ALSO promote fashion and shopping, item gathering (barbie's accessories) and body glorification(barbie's ONE type of silhouette) instead of self strenghtening(barbie judoka) and knowledge(barbie librarian or w/e)....anyway i m tired barking to windmills.
you like the world like it is already with one woman raped every 17mins in canada (under ten mins in the US)or else you would have raged at those advertising companies before.
you are more than them. many more.

Palacios eyes Stoke return
Wilson Palacios has declared himself fit and ready to return to help Stoke out of their current slump.
By Pete O'Rourke - Follow me: @skysportspeteo
Last Updated: 24/11/11 9:09am
Wilson Palacios has declared himself fit and ready to return to help Stoke out of their current slump.
The Honduras international has managed just seven appearances for Stoke since his summer switch from Tottenham due to a knee injury.
Palacios is pushing for a place in the side for this weekend's clash with Blackburn, as Stoke look to end a run of four successive Premier League defeats.
"I am 100 per cent and at the manager's disposal, but it is up to Tony Pulis to put me in the team," said Palacios.
"I am happy at Stoke. I came here with a bad injury, but now I'm ready to play.
"The players at Stoke are very good, so I have to fight for my place."
Crouch backing
Palacios has also backed Peter Crouch to start firing again and he has dismissed ideas that his return to the side could help his former Tottenham team-mate to get back among the goals.
"Peter doesn't need my help. He's a very good player," added Palacios.
"I need Peter Crouch, not the other way around."

A company which illegally operates a floating fish farm on the waters of Cam Ranh Bay in the coastal province of Khanh Hoa was yesterday fined VND4 million for using fish feeders that are not included in the country's allowed list.
>> Posing as researchers, Chinese ship fish home Song Phong Co Ltd, which hired two Chinese nationals to work as "aquaculture researchers" at their farm, has recently come under public criticism for operating on the bay over the last ten years without a water surface leasing contract. "The two Chinese nationals have received administrative fines and been expelled," asserted Le Van Dung, deputy head of the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Inspectorate, after announcing the modest fine of VND4 million, or less than US$200. Dung said his inspectorate team in May found grouper feeder cartons at the Song Phong Co farm that only bore Chinese labels, while by law labels are supposed to be in Vietnamese. The representative of the floating farm also failed to prove the origins and provide quarantine certificates for their grouper breeds. "We have at first fined them for the feeders, and in the next couple of days, if they still fail to clarify the origins of the groupers being raised on the farm, we will enact further penalties," he said. Regarding the company's lack of a contract to hire the bay's water surface, Dung commented that this is a difficult issue to handle. "As far as I know, Song Phong Co has located their farm on Cam Ranh Bay for years, and they were allowed to do so," he explained. "Only some foreign companies licensed to raise aquatic products have been granted water surface certificates for operation, while most of the floating farms of domestic investors and local farmers have yet to receive the certificates. "So we cannot fine them, as it's not their fault, since the government has yet to hand the certificates to them," he concluded.

Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winner I'll Have Another may face a bulky field of up to a dozen rivals in the June 9 Belmont Stakes. However, barring a sudden change of heart among horsemen, the son of Flower Alley won't have to beat some of the better colts from the 3-year-old crop.
Trainer Bob Baffert has made it clear Derby and Preakness runner-up Bodemeister will not be entered. The speedy colt is going to get some time off, with the July 29 Haskell Invitational at Monmouth his next likely target. The good news is that could result in Bodemeister attempting the Haskell-Travers double Baffert pulled off with Point Given in 2001.
Nor will Creative Cause race in the Belmont. Trainer Mike Harrington recently indicated his colt may take a break and could return on turf. Creative Cause was beaten just a nose by I'll Have Another in the Santa Anita Derby, as close as any horse has come to the dual classic winner this year.
Another probable defection could be Mark Valeski. Owned by former Kentucky Governor Brereton Jones, and trained by Larry Jones (no relation), the lightly-raced colt skipped the Kentucky Derby.
Larry Jones said at the time they thought they had a Derby quality horse, just not for the first Saturday in May.
However, when Mark Valeski surfaced in the May 12 Peter Pan Stakes at Belmont, his professional victory looked like a perfect prep over the track for the Grade 1 Belmont Stakes itself. Unfortunately, Larry Jones said recently it was taking Mark Valeski longer than expected to snap back from the Peter Pan. Jones hasn't completely ruled out a shot at I'll Have Another, but it is unlikely.
That leaves Dullahan and Union Rags as the most accomplished horses expected to contest I'll Have Another's attempt to become the twelfth Triple Crown winner.
The connections of Dullahan announced before the Preakness they were skipping that event to point for the Belmont. The statement released said the colt was doing great and they believed he could win the Preakness, but the Belmont was the goal.
In a bizarre turn, trainer Dale Romans told an interviewer recently one of the owners of Dullahan had a son graduating from college on May 19, date of the Preakness. The implication was the reason they waited was the date.
A common perception is that horses which close like Dullahan are at a disadvantage in the Belmont Stakes. Conventional wisdom suggests the slower pace of the race renders making up ground in the stretch difficult to accomplish. We're not talking about stalkers that close like last year's winner Ruler on Ice, but horses which come from the clouds, such as memorable 1991 runner-up Strike the Gold.
Nevertheless, closers have done reasonably well in recent years. The one which stands out is Victory Gallop in 1998.
Like I'll Have Another, Real Quiet was trying for the Triple Crown. He opened a big lead in the Belmont stretch, but lost a photo finish to the late-arriving winner. Other closers that have won include Jazil (2006), Birdstone (2004), Editor's Note (1996), and Colonial Affair (1993).
You can conjure up reasons for those winners. The 1993 and 1996 crops were weak. Birdstone benefited from Triple Crown aspirant Smarty Jones having a jockey unfamiliar with Belmont, and rivals that tried to tag-team him into defeat, while neither the 2006 Derby or Preakness winner raced in that year's Belmont.
Dullahan closed from far back to record a creditable third in this year's Derby. However, the fact remains he has never won on dirt.
Union Rags was favored in the Kentucky Derby until the final few minutes. The well-regarded colt broke tardily from the gate, which led to him getting shuffled back almost 20 lengths behind pacesetter Bodemeister.
Then came a controversial move. Jockey Julien Leparoux stayed inside, which resulted in Union Rags getting steadied and stopped cold. The colt rallied well to lose by seven and one-half lengths, albeit with the benefit of Bodemeister's fast pace.
Union Rags' connections have replaced Leparoux with John Velazquez, who will become Thoroughbred racing's newest Hall of Fame jockey when inducted in August. Johnny knowsBelmont Park well.
Coupled with the smaller field in the Belmont Stakes, there is a good chance the colt will get a much better trip.
Recently trainer Michael Matz spoke about the Derby disappointment. He told a national telephone press conference he thought Union Rags had the talent to be a Triple Crown winner. Matz should know. He conditioned 2006 Kentucky Derby champion Barbaro, who looked like a Triple Crown cinch until he broke down in the Preakness.
Now, all Union Rags can do is prevent I'll Have Another from achieving the milestone.
The website belmontstakes.com lists 10 other potential starters: Alpha, Atigun, Five Sixteen, Guyana Star Dweej, Optimizer, Paynter, Rousing Sermon, Stealcase, Street Life, and Unstoppable U.
Unstoppable U is an example of the new thinking horsemen employ, assuming he enters the Belmont. The colt has had just two career starts. The first was at six furlongs, the second at Belmont Park in a one-turn mile.
Imagine a horseman like the late Charlie Whittingham running such a colt in the one and one-half mile Belmont Stakes. You can't imagine it? That is the point.
It's not easy to win any Triple Crown race, much less all three. However, I'll Have Another has an easier path than some of the 3-year-olds who have made the attempt.

In October 1999, an article appeared in the New York Times indicating that publisher St. Martins Press had recalled FORTUNATE SON, the first published biography of George W. Bush, when it was revealed that the author, J.H. Hatfield, served five years in prison for solicitation of capital murder. At the time of its recall, the book was a bestseller, no doubt due to the books allegations that Bush had been arrested for cocaine possession in 1972. Set against the backdrop of the fierce 2000 presidential campaign, Horns and Halos follows Hatfield and Hicks as they battle lawyers, media and mounting debt to get FORTUNATE SON back on the shelves. After facing a lawsuit, a thrashing on 60 minutes and bankruptsy, Soft Skull attempts to make one last splash at the Book Expo of America. Hatfield reluctantly reveals his sources for the book's cocain allegations, and the fallout is explosive.

Kiss the dog and 4 more ways to improve client compliance (without saying a word)
I've read many an article describing what I need to say to clients to improve compliance. I changed the name of the estimate to "treatment plan." I increased the time I spend teaching clients about their pet's symptoms and tests needed to establish diagnosis. I even laid a foundation of verbal dialogue within my discharge instructions to improve rechecks and follow-up treatments. These strategies take time and I haven't seen the results I was promised. So, because I'm a scientist and life is just one big experiment, I decided to stop doing things to improve client compliance and start being the kind of doctor I would want for myself.
I work in a high-volume, fast-paced, emergency and critical care referral center on Saturdays and Sundays. Most of the clients will only see me once. Their pet is often in a critical situation and they're distraught. I have very little time to talk. My job is to build a client-patient-doctor relationship full of trust in a matter of seconds. Over the years, I've become so good at this my colleagues now send me their toughest clients—the ones who yell, the ones who don't want to pay, or the ones who are hot because they waited more than 60 seconds in the reception area. My secret? Talk less.
You may read some of these tips and think, "There's no way this will work." Trust me: These tiny tweaks have resulted in tremendously improved compliance and some great client relationships. If you promise to at least give them a try, I'll share them with you.1 SHAKE AWAY BAD FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Shake your client's hand—and shake hands firmly. As soon as I step into an exam room or approach pet owners, I always greet them with a good, strong handshake. Think about what a firm handshake says about you: confidence, guts, professionalism, support, care, respect, and trust.
See for yourself: Shake hands with 10 people. Are you more likely to trust the flimsy handshake or the firm one? This gesture alone speeds up the bonding process. We can connect on a deeper level in a matter of seconds. A firm handshake will help your clients believe in you and tell them they're in good hands. Therefore, they're more likely to move forward with your recommendations and the end result is overall improved client compliance.
Also be sure to look clients directly in the eyes when you meet them. Eye contact is an amazing way to instantly connect with another person. In her article "Building Confidence as a Lever for Success," Patricia Berger says, "A person can easily assess another person's self-confidence by engaging in eye contact. The eyes play a big role in making relationships, portraying sincerity, and building careers. In interviews the first impression plays an important role in the final selection. Making eye contact with the interviewer will make him or her see one's seriousness in getting the job."
So, who's your interviewer every day? The answer, my friend, is every one of your clients.

savage for the win !!!!!
Last night i asked our own miss savage for her own perspective as to why we as individuals should vote for her re-election
and this was her reply
(note i am not a writer

We have restarted the State loan scheme. We have reworked our State companies to create a modest profit. Our Ministry of Health has been revitalized. Ministry deions are up and available for view. We have started an Alliance Committee. Continued to foster an active and vital Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Increased security to the Private Dail, MoImm, and the API. And continued the grand tradition of the MoComm Lottery and Community Awards. Oh,and we broke our neutrality with the passage of the proposal to MPP with the US. Now we just need to follow through after the elections.
Take from this what you will but it is this PPs personal opinion the miss savage has the full support of Independent Voices and her people
This is a lil extra
What makes me better than my candidate?
I am very serious about continuing to lead us out of neutrality and into a new era of action. I have the support and backing some of the best military minds in our country. People that will be in my cabinet this term.

Plans for a new 40mph speed limit on the approach to Harden from Cullingworth have been unveiled by Bradford Council.
Ward councillor Simon Cooke this week welcomed news traffic could be slowed from 60mph further away from Harden.
He said the 40mph stretch would provide a useful buffer zone before drivers reached the current 30mph limit on the outskirts of the village.
Vehicles currently have to switch from 60mph to 30mph just before reaching Harden, then to 20mph while travelling through the village itself.
Plans for the 40mph stretch were sent to local councillors this week for comment, in advance of being advertised to the public.
Coun Cooke believes the new zone would complement traffic-calming, introduced in the centre of Harden about six months ago. He added: "When we held a consultation on the traffic-calming in Harden, a lot of people raised the issue of the speed of vehicles going into the village.
"The area committee asked highways officers to look at moving the speed limit further towards Cullingworth.
"We're hoping that essentially this will provide a buffer zone. We will have a gradual decline in speed."

Amazing Flexible Touch Screen Made Of Ordinary Paper And Conductive Ink
A touchscreen made from a sheet of paper marks the future of e-readers, displays, and paintings.
Japanese researchers Kohei Tsuji and Akira Wakita of Keio University have invented a touch-screen display made from ordinary paper. The technology behind this new innovation lies in the color-changing ink printed on one side, and conducting pastes on the other to create an electric circuit. The interactive display is activated by sensors and maintains the flexibility of regular paper, opening the doors to the future of interactive books, paintings, and wallpaper. New Scientist writes:
It's like finger painting, only without the messy paints. Touching the paper activates a copper pressure sensor taped on the back of the paper. This sends electricity through the painted silver wires, which warms electrodes made from carbon paste. Heat radiates through the paper to the color-changing ink on top.
Ideas for its use are already being discussed, from advancing e-readers to making it compatible for artists who want to use the unique qualities of paper and take advantage of the tactile nature of paint. Watch a video demo of the new technology below:
