Daniel Zueras and his awesome threesome
He is a singer from Spain that participated in a reality show called "Operacion Triunfo" similar to what "American Idol" is here.
Needless to say that it has been causing a lot of comments, and he is keeping very private about his sexuality, but he seems to be ejoying it very much.
Nice video!

Isaiah Washington ... you are fired!
It is official, Isaiah Washington will not be returning to "Grey's Anatomy" next season. According to TV Guide, an ABC Studios spokesperson confirms that the actor's contract has not been renewed.
Apparently Isaiah said he is "mad as hell" about this decision, and I wonder what happened to the anger management course that he was supposed to attend. As a fan of the show I will certainly miss Dr. Burke (and I am sure that Christina Yang will miss him more) but I am glad that ABC did something about it.
Now my question is if TR Knight's contract has been renewed, he recently said that he didn't know if he was coming back to the show or not... we'll have to wait.

This document treats matters of style—the general principles we follow in grammar, usage, and other matters relating to texts. For issues of style not covered in this guide, consult The Chicago Manual of Style, 15th ed. (Chicago, 2003) (= Chicago). Further questions not covered in these guides can be addressed to the Byzantine editor by email.
Grammar and usage
- Follow standard American usage for spelling. Consult Webster's Third New International Dictionary (Springfield, MA, 1986) or its abridgment, Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 11th ed. (Springfield, MA, 2003). If there are alternate spellings of a word in the dictionary use the first option listed.
- For grammar and word usage, consult Chicago, chap. 5.
- Commas separate all the members of a series of three or more elements. E.g., Athens, Delphi, and Corinth.
- Two consecutive sentences should be separated by a single space. There should never be two or more consecutive spaces anywhere in the manuscript. For intentionally wide spaces, use tabs.
Spelling and distinctive treatment of words
- Possessives are formed on the basis of their pronunciation in English. Therefore, names, including those ending in s, are generally rendered possessive by adding 's. If a name ending in s produces an eez sound, only the apostrophe is added, not the final s, e.g., John's, Agathias's, and Demetrakos's, but Socrates' and Oikonomides'. See Chicago, 7.21–22 for other exceptions.
- Foreign words and abbreviations that are in the dictionary need not be italicized, e.g., extempore, RSVP, terminus post quem.
- Set a foreign word or non-English term in italics only in its first occurrence; subsequent instances should be set in roman type.
- Latin expressions like ca., ibid., passim, idem, and s.v. should not be italicized or underlined.
Names, terms, and numbers
- For capitalization of biblical persons, events, services, and so on, see Chicago, chap. 8. If uncertain whether the word should be uppercase or lowercase, use lowercase.
- One space between initials in personal names, e.g., W. J. Smith and J. W. H., not W.J. and J.W.H.
- Dates should follow the order day, month, and year, e.g., 3 March 1999.
- Use the en dash, not hyphen, between consecutive numbers in the manuscript, e.g., 142–44.
- In the text spell out whole numbers one through one hundred, round numbers, or numbers beginning a sentence. All other numbers in the text should be in Arabic numerals, as should all numbers in endnotes. This applies to centuries, years, page numbers, percentages, lists of objects, and so on.
- To abbreviate or condense inclusive arabic numerals, follow the principles outlined in Chicago, 9.64 and 9.66–68. Arabic numerals in titles, headers, and display type, as well as Arabic numerals representing life dates, are given in full, e.g., the emperor Julian (332–363).
Foreign languages
Follow the conventions used in each language for capitalization, punctuation, and so forth. In Latin, Greek, French, Italian, and other languages, titles of articles, treatises, and books are capitalized sentence style, whereas English titles are capitalized headline style.
For typing in Greek, Coptic, Arabic, and other languages that do not use the Latin alphabet, work with fonts conforming to the Unicode standard. If you are uncertain whether your font is Unicode compatible, or if you need assistance in making your manuscript Unicode compatible, please contact Colin Whiting. See also our Guide to Unicode Greek. It is very important to attend to this in the earliest stages of the manuscript.
- Arabic transliterations should reflect the difference between the hamza (ʾ) and the 'ayn (ʿ), between long and short vowels (by placing a macron over the letter), and between emphatic and nonemphatic letters (by placing a dot below the former). If you are uncertain how to do this, contact Colin Whiting.
- If Greek proper names and terms are to be transliterated, do so either strictly, as in the Oxford Dictionary of Byzantium (Oxford, 1991) (=ODB), or with a Latinizing form, as in the Oxford Classical Dictionary (Oxford, 1998) (= OCD). Do not mix the two systems of transliteration. Titles of modern Greek works are rendered in Greek characters, but modern Greek authors' names are transliterated.
- Transliterations of most languages should follow the Library of Congress system. Other systems may be appropriate, such as the IJMES Arabic transliteration system.
- Place one space between and around 3-dot ellipses. No space precedes the first period in a 4-dot ellipsis.
- Quotations from ancient and medieval works should follow the latest critical edition, unless the reading of an earlier edition is appropriate for the argument. Incorporate into any quotation ellipses, brackets, parentheses, and other editorial marks appropriate to the kind of editorial change made (following the Leiden convention whenever possible).
- Any quotation of an ancient or medieval text should indicate the edition used. Likewise, any translation should acknowledge the translator. If an ancient text is referred to, but not quoted, no edition-specific documentation need be provided, since the argument does not depend on any particular edition of the text.
Illustrations and Captions
- Illustrations should be submitted in accordance with our Artwork Submission Guide. Failure to follow the principles outlined there may result in delayed publication and further work for the author.
- Figure callouts should appear in the text in sequential order and accompanying illustrations should follow the same sequence.
- All artwork must include a photo or drawing credit even if produced by the author. If the art has been published elsewhere, the credit should include the figure and page number on which the work appears. Do not use ibid. in a caption.
- Information in the caption should follow this order: title of work (or name of object); artist, life dates (if applicable); country, date of work; medium, dimensions; provenance or credit line; narrative information.
- The punctuation, spacing, and paragraph style for captions should be consistent.
Examples of Captions
Church of St. John, Mistra, line drawing of fresco (photo after Millet, Frescoes, pl. 107.2)
- Dumbarton Oaks's List of Abbreviations should be consulted, in conjunction with the abbreviations listed in Chicago, chap. 15.
- Abbreviations designating time are set in small caps without periods. We prefer ce and bce to ad and bc.
- Biblical books are abbreviated in notes (e.g., Ps. 115:4–7) but enclosed in parentheses and spelled out in the text: (Psalms 115:4–7). See Chicago, 15.51–54, for abbreviations of books of the Bible.
Notes and Documentation
- In writing endnotes the author should consider completeness, clarity, and brevity, in that order.
- Paragraph breaks within endnotes should be used sparingly, if at all.
- The first reference to a book or article must be complete. For subsequent references use the author's last name and a shortened form of the title.
- "Ibid." should be used sparingly.
- Use "cf." only when it means "compare." Otherwise, use "see."
- Verify all references and quotations before submitting your manuscript. Include all required facts of publication. Incomplete contributions will be returned to the author.
- We normally do not include the name of the publisher in documentation, only the name of the city, and the date of publication, separated by a comma.
- Avoid the use of ff., replacing it with the best terminal page number.
- For abbreviations of commonly cited journals, series, and reference works, use our List of Abbreviations.
- All titles of modern literature should be cited in the original languages, not translated, with rare exceptions for more obscure languages. If the title is in Greek, do not romanize it; all other non-Latin alphabets should be transliterated. See Transliteration, above.
- For ranges of dates, page numbers, and other numerals, follow examples presented in Chicago, 9.64.
- If citing page and volume of a multivolume work, render both numbers in Arabic numerals (even if the publication uses Roman numerals to distinguish volumes), separated by a colon, with no space after it. If citing a periodical, put the date in parentheses between the volume number and the colon; a space follows the colon, e.g., ODB 3:1748, but REB 29 (1971): 104.
- Ordinal number endings in english should not be put in superscript. Thus, 1st, 2nd. But in languages where such endings would entail confusion or ambiguity, superscript is preferred, e.g., VIe.
- Ancient works, which generally have well-established editions, should be cited by author, title, then the standardized reference numbers. Normally there is no comma between the title and reference number. In the case of medieval works, which often have no standardized numeration system, the edition used must be cited, within the endnote itself, or in the bibliography.
- The titles of ancient and Byzantine Greek works should follow the forms given in the ODB or the OCD.
- Ancient and medieval sources are referred to according to the standards specified in Chicago, 17.250–60, with the exception that a comma separates author from title. E.g., Athanasios of Alexandria, Incarnation of the Logos 5.1.

Jon Evans brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 59 Designs von 26 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
We are a new software development company, looking for a logo and website. The company name is Springy Web Ltd., and our domain name is springyweb.com.
Please note the competition is effectively closed now as we have chosen a logo, and there were no entries for the web site. Further competitions for a web site and stationery will be created in due course. Thank you to everybody for your participation.
Springy Web
Desired Color Scheme:
Autumnal, see image link in description
Desired Style:
a bit grunge, but still clean & readable
Accepted File Formats:
Standard Web Formats (.jpg, .gif or .png); Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai); Layered Formats (.psd or .tiff)
Happy New Year everybody!
We are a UK based software development company, designing web-based applications.
The first aspect of the competition is to design a logo for Springy Web. The logo just needs to include the two words Springy Web.
Things we absolutely do not want to see: a spring and a spider's web. Thanks. :)
The logo should be supplied in a vector format.
Second, we need a web site template.
We have found an image
which we quite like.
We like the grunge style of the image, and we think the autumnal colour scheme would work for the site. The logo can take design ideas and colour scheme from the image as well,
although obviously it's a logo so we only want one or two spot colours, and it should still work in black & white.
Back to the web site, the main page needs to come with CSS for a blog-style list of recent news items. Menu items required: Home, About
Us, Blog, Customer Login. We'd prefer most of the design to come from CSS, with a minimum of graphics. CSS-based layout as well please, no tables.
In practise it will be CMS-generated, so the "article excerpt" block needs to be repeatable any number of times (within reason) down the page
We also require an "article" page template, which will be a similar style to the main page except it will have a single block of text & optional image content.
CSS styles should be provided for headings, inline images with the text (including image caption text), ul and ol lists, and a style for pull quotes.
The overall page should be fixed width, floating horizontally in the middle of the viewport. All should be written to favour standards-compliant
browsers and be valid XHTML 1.0, but please verify that it looks OK in IE as well.
As we are in the UK, payment via electronic transfer probably only works to UK banks. Unless you know otherwise. We are happy to use Paypal.
This contest was originally listed in multiple categories:
- Logo Design
- Web Page Design (Coded)

The whole face of the Huécar Gorge was once lined with hanging houses. Today only three remain, and these were thoroughly restored at the beginning of the 20th century.
They are in the traditional Gothic style, and some original elements can still be seen in the part that houses the Museum of Spanish Abstract Art . There is a wealth of wooden details on the interior. The exterior entranceway is in the Renaissance style and was originally part of an old palace in Villarejo de la Peñuela. The house on the left hand side (the restaurant kitchen) is known as the Casa de la Sirena (house of the mermaid).

Skip to 0 minutes and 8 secondsSometimes I think there's things that you might question in lectures or depending on your own knowledge of it. And I think it's really judging whether it's important to question then, and whether it's appropriate or not. My own interest in the subject brings up questions in my head and I just ask the lecturer. Having a good overview of the subject before you go into the lecture puts you at an advantage. You can understand the lecture much more clearly. With my lectures, it's very easy to ask the lecturer's questions. They are always open to ideas and suggestions from me. I definitely challenge the lecturer's views and thoughts.
Skip to 0 minutes and 44 secondsAnd as long as you can back that up with your own reading and source material, they will respect you for it. I've been in the situation where I've felt a lecturer is wrong. And normally, you just question the lecturer at the time. Sometimes they are wrong and they'll say, oh, good, I'm glad someone's corrected me. Or sometimes they'll explain to you why what you said is a good reason that it's not right. And that's useful as well.
Skip to 1 minute and 8 secondsI normally have a pre-session reading before I go into lecture, so I'd read around the topic of which the lecture is going to discuss, so I can come up with questions before we go into the lecture and then gain as much as I can from the lecture. Lecturers themselves are quite good at awaking interest. And they're quite good responding to the question as they have such a broad knowledge of their field. I find it was very easy to ask questions. Lecturers are always available. You don't go to university to kind of blindly follow what your teacher says. You go there to develop yourself and develop your own interests.
Undergraduates talking about lectures
In this video undergraduates talk about issues relating to questioning and their approach to lectures.
Have a listen to what they are saying and think about the points they make as you work on the material in the next step.

Step 1: Identify Google Play charges
All Google Play purchases will appear on your statement under the following names:
- "GOOGLE*App developer name" (for Android apps)
- "'GOOGLE*App name" (for Android apps)
- "GOOGLE*Content type" (i.e. "GOOGLE*Music")
If the charge in question isn't in one of these formats, it didn't come from Google Play. Contact your bank or card-issuer for more information.
Step 2: Check with your family and friends
If you don't recognize a Google Play transaction, check with your family and friends to see if:
- They made the purchase, or
- A child may have played a game that resulted in accidental charges

|Program Goal: To assist states and local school districts in creating, expanding, and implementing a public school choice program.
|Objective 8.1 of 1: The Voluntary Public School Choice Program increases options for public school choice.
|Indicator 8.1.1 of 1: The number and percentage of families who exercise public school choice will increase annually.
|Targets and Performance Data
|Assessment of Progress
|Sources and Data Quality
Explanation: FY 2004 data established the baseline for (a) and (b). The number of students who have the option of attending participating VPSC schools is the total of all students eligible to apply for transfers. In some instances, grantees may not have slots available for all students applying for a transfer. For instance, VPSC in Chicago includes 23 schools, but the transfer option is offered districtwide. Nine sites reported that 3,694 students transferred under VPSC. The percentage of students participating in VPSC (b) is the percentage of students who transfer among those eligible to participate across the 13 total grantees. (a) Performance target is the estimated number of participating students when projects are fully implemented, excluding Florida, for which no estimate was possible. (b) The target for 2005 is is the baseline plus 2%.

When I googled "bird mobile" I found it interesting that the only ones I found were in England. I wonder if this was purchased there?
Pull the string attached to the body and it flaps it's wings in an ever so graceful motion. I currently have it suspended from the ceiling fan in the livingroom. (The boy in me did that!)

Zipcar (NYSE:ZIP) posted its second consecutive quarterly profit for Q4 2011. The car sharing company grew its membership by 25%, leading to 30% higher revenues in 2011 compared to the previous year. An improved mix of revenues and access to cheaper vehicle financing also resulted in better margins despite a net loss for the full year.
As margins continue to pick up, the company seems to be on its way to post its first annual profit this year. Zipcar serves 673K members with a fleet of over 9K vehicles in North America and Europe. Aside from competing with traditional rental companies and car-sharing services like Connect by Hertz, Enterprise's WeCar, UHaul's UCarShare and City Car Share, it also faces competition from new low-cost, peer-to-peer (P2P) car sharing services like RelayRides and GetAround.
See our complete analysis for Zipcar's stock
Shift of Mix Toward Fee Revenue To Help Margins
In 2011, Zipcar improved its revenue mix with fee revenue representing 14% of revenue compared to 12% in 2010. A rising contribution of fee revenue compared to usage revenue will help improve profit margin as fee revenue provides over 90% gross margin.
In the coming years, Zipcar aims to generate over 17% of its revenue through fees and the remainder through usage revenue. This may result from an increased number of members retaining Zipcar membership as a lifestyle option, similar to gym club memberships that are used less frequently by users but still contribute toward the annual membership fees.
Improving Margins With Cheaper Fleet Financing
Zipcar has significantly reduced its vehicle acquisition costs over the past year by shifting from leasing vehicles to purchasing vehicles through Asset Backed Securitization (ABS) facility that provides it access to low-cost vehicle financing. It recently doubled the ABS facility to $100 million to fund its domestic fleet expansion in 2012. Lower cost for vehicle financing will further help Zipcar's bottom-line.
Fleet costs currently constitute 66% of Zipcar's revenues compared to 71% in 2009. This reduction happened as Zipcar started phasing out vehicles under its operating lease in the U.S. and replaced them with vehicles purchased through the ABS facility. The number of vehicles under operating leases fell from 90% in 2009 to 50% in 2011.
However, Zipcar plans to enter 2-3 new markets each year and continue with its expansion across Europe. This will result in higher capital expenditure and a slow down in EBITDA margin growth. We currently estimate Zipcar's EBITDA margin will reach 23% by the end of 2018.
Outlook for 2012
In 2012, Zipcar expects its top-line to grow by 20-22% to $290-$296 million and the adjusted EBITDA to grow from $11 million in 2011 to $15-$19 million in 2012. We expect the company to post its very first annual profit this year, even though it may see a loss in the first quarter of 2012.
We have a revised $22 Trefis price estimate for Zipcar based on the revision to our EBITDA margin forecast.

NFL spokesperson Greg Aiello told New York's Daily News the league has no policy regarding players urinating on the sidelines, an issue that drew headlines Sunday as CBS cameras caught Chargers kicker Nick Novak relieving himself late in San Diego's loss to the Denver Broncos.
When this occurs, the player has been shielded from public view and there have been no issues with it [...] If a player goes to the locker room, he may not be available when his team is counting on him to be on the field.
Novak told the San Diego Union-Tribune he usually pees "two-three times a game" and that most players heed nature's call during games.
If true, it's a surprise ever-present TV cameras don't catch players in their time of need more often.

The latest editorial in the Billings Gazette really takes a unique stand on education, suggesting that schools "must prepare students for life." A bold position, as evidenced by the 128,000 Google hits for the following search: schools "prepare for life".
It's just a meaningless phrase. Demonstrating that parallelism is not a necessary skill for life in the field of journalism, the Gazette editorial argues that education "must emphasize critical thinking, problem solving, teamwork, leadership, work ethic and more extensively incorporate information technology."
No, really?
Anyone involved in education knows that these are important skills, and schools are working to develop them in students. It's not news to any of us. Where it gets complicated is the implementation. For example, the Gazette editorial suggests that laptops might be better purchases than textbooks, arguing that they "may be more cost effective." What about content? Do we just turn students loose on Wikipedia and ask them to make a group PowerPoint presentation? Maybe have them do a web quest to find information? Modern information gathering is an essential skill for our students, but does anyone really believe that it can substitute for the discourse and interaction that characterizes excellent education?
The idea that teaching 21st century information seeking skills is a substitute for providing depth of knowledge is one of the great errors of contemporary education reform. Certainly, we should help our students become critical consumers, finders, and evaluators of information, but we also have an obligation to provide a foundation of knowledge that will give those skills meaning and application.
Ken DeRosa, a lawyer who writes an education blog, argues convincingly that students need to have "domain knowledge" to become effective learners who can contextualize information and build on it. The 21st century skills model seems to suggest that students need an hour of Google instruction and a firm handshake before they are sent off to work for some corporation. It's just not that simple, though that kind of education certainly must appeal to the economic and political elite in this country.
The answer to improving our schools and their students is not, as the Gazette suggests, cutting corners with online and dual credit courses. It's not going to be found in 21st century skills or other warm, fuzzy slogans.
So why do schools and the media embrace these quick fixes? Because implementing them is much simpler than working on the two factors that have the greatest bearing on student success: the living conditions of our students and the quality of their teachers. Until we are ready to tackle the incredible inequity that still characterizes American schools, we can at least work on the latter: recruiting, training, retaining, and evaluating excellent teachers, because the
makes it very clear that it's not the latest edu-fad of the week that helps students grow; it's quality teachers.
Truly "preparing students for life" means giving each student the ability to maximize her potential. We can only do that by focusing on meaningful, challenging, quality instruction. No slogan or laptop will ever replace that.

The Washington Capitals wrap up their season series with the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday as well as their four-game road trip. The Capitals have a chance to split their four-game road swing and rub out some of the bad taste of an ugly 5-0 shutout loss at the hands of the Carolina Hurricanes on Monday. Ottawa might be just the tonic for what ails the Caps, as it turns out. Washington is 16-5-3 in their last 24 meetings against the Senators. That includes a perfect 3-0-0 mark so far this season, taking a 2-1 decision on October 15th and a 3-2 overtime decision on December 3rd at Verizon Center. The Caps made it three-for-three with a 5-3 win over the Senators in Ottawa on December 7th.
It looked for a time a few weeks ago as if the Senators would sink out of the playoff race, having lost seven in a row (0-6-1) from January 21st through February 7th. Ottawa has righted the ship, though, having gone 4-0-1 in their last five games, including shutouts at Tampa Bay (4-0) and at the Islanders (6-0). The Senators have outscored opponents in the five games by a 23-9 margin, largely on the strength of scoring by Jason Spezza. In the five games Spezza has risen to fourth in the league in scoring (entering Tuesday night play) by going 7-7-14, plus-8, with five multi-point games in a row.
Not that is has been entirely The Jason Spezza Show. Ten different Senators have goals in the five games, and 15 different Senators have points. In all five games Ottawa scored the game's first goal, and they outscored their opponents in the first period by a 7-2 margin. The Senators have displayed period balance in the five games, scoring seven, eight, and eight goals by period.
The big turnaround, though, might be that of goaltender Craig Anderson. When the Senators had their 0-6-1 streak to finish January and start February, Anderson was the goalie of record in all seven losses. He earned those decisions by posting a 3.84 goals against average and a .882 save percentage. He finished up the unfortunate run by lasting only 3:49 in a 3-1 loss to St. Louis, giving up two goals on four shots. He was then held out of the next game in favor of Alex Auld. After Auld won a 4-3 decision over Nashville to get the Senators moving in the other direction, Anderson is 3-0-1, 1.50, .957, with two shutouts in the last four games.
Here is how the teams compare, numbers-wise:
(click pic for larger image)
2. Only three teams in the league have allowed more 5-on-5 goals than the Senators (Toronto, Tampa Bay, Chicago). No team has allowed more 4-on-4 goals (10, tied with Carolina).
3. Only Philadelphia has taken more minor penalties than the Senators this season. Only three teams have taken more majors (Philadelphia, Boston, New York Rangers). Only Detroit has taken more bench minors. Didn't the league send these guys a rule book before the start of the season?
4. No team has allowed more power play goals at home than Ottawa (25, tied with Philadelphia). Only three teams have a worse home plus/minus (Florida, Columbus, New York Islanders). No team has allowed more goals overall at home than the Senators (95).
5. Ottawa is streaky. They have five separate streaks of at least three consecutive wins this season and four separate streaks of at least three consecutive losses.
2. In those six games the Caps have five goals scored by players names "Alex" (three for Semin, two for Ovechkin), four goals scored by defensemen, and a goal by Brooks Laich.
3. Speaking of the Alexes, both Ovechkin and Semin have four goals in their last nine games. They have a total of five goals from the rest of the forwards combined in those nine games.
4. The difference a year makes. After 59 games last season, the Caps were 30-19-10 (70 points); this year they are 29-25-5 (63 points).
5. Only three teams have fewer power play goals on the road than the Caps (Tampa Bay, Buffalo, and St. Louis). Only four teams have allowed more power play goals on the road than Washington (Colorado, Winnipeg, Toronto, and Columbus). On the power play, they are 1-for-27 in their last nine road games (3.7 percent).
The Peerless Players to Ponder
Ottawa: Erik Karlsson
Erik Karlsson leads all NHL defensemen in scoring by a wide margin. His 12-45-57 in 60 games is 17 points better than Brian Campbell's 3-37-40 for the Florida Panthers. His name is creeping up in Norris Trophy conversation. Funny how that works. High scoring defenseman averaging almost a point a game but who trails only 21 other defensemen in the league in goals scored against while on ice. Sound familiar? Karlsson has been on a roll lately. In the 4-0-1 run for the Senators, he is 4-5-9, plus-8, with two game-winning goals. Can he win a Norris Trophy with this kind of offensive performance? After watching Mike Green fall short despite consecutive seasons of scoring more than a point a game and going plus-24 and plus-39, it would not seem likely. But it might be fun to watch.
Washington: Mathieu Perreault
Since he had a hat trick against Boston on January 24th, Mathieu Perreault has two goals in his last 11 games, none in his last six. As if it needs saying by this point, with Nicklas Backstrom out of the lineup, players like Perreault are going to have to step up and contribute more offensively while playing a smart two-way game as long as Backstrom is out. Perreault was the player who was the big factor when the Caps halted their eight-game losing streak in Ottawa last season, netting a pair of goals in the second period of a 3-2 win. The Caps went on to finish the rest of the season 29-11-7 after that win. The Caps could use a little bit of history repeating itself.
Keys, "Rocky Balboa" edition:
1. "Ya know they always say if you live in one place long enough, you are that place." The Caps have been living on the margin of playoff eligibility for months now, and they have the look of an also-ran. Right now, they are "that place." If they are to move out of the neighborhood, they can't wait for moves from the front office. It has to start here.
2. "The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!" The Caps are fine with the "sunshine and rainbows," but when hit with adversity, they have not shown much fight in them lately. If they can't fight through that, they have little hope of putting together any streak of success. They simply do not have the depth at the moment to be dominating teams; they have to scratch out wins.
3. "You know, I think you try harder when you're scared... That's when it's worked best for me." If the Caps are not scared of missing the playoffs, they should be concerned. Seriously concerned. Instead of denying it or cowering in its presence, maybe they need to embrace that fact and learn how to win when things are not going as well as they – or anyone else – would have predicted for this season.
In the end, here is the bad news. Of the ten goals scored by the Caps in the season series with Ottawa to date, Nicklas Backstrom has a hand in four of them (3-1-0). But while Ottawa has been hot of late, this is a team that has a lot of weak points. And, goalie Craig Anderson has not been especially effective against Washington. He is 4-5-1, 2.81, .916, with one shutout in his career against the Caps, but he lost his only decision this season, getting lit up for four goals on 39 shots (three of the goals coming in a span of six shots in the third period) in a 5-3 Washington win on December 7th. The Caps are probably going to find themselves underdogs in just about every road game from here on in, given their record to date. But this is a winnable game for them. You might say at this point that it is a "must-winnable" game for them.
Capitals 4 – Senators 3

Selected as Party of the Day on February 23rd!
Mckenna's Fashion Dance Party
Party Recap
I am so excited to share these birthday party pics with you. I had such a fun time planning my daughter Mckenna's 9th birthday party. She wanted a Dance Party and then in the middle of planning switched to a Fashion Party. So we finally decided to have the best of both worlds and combine the two! Our Fashion Dance Party included all the fun activities from our Dance Party Theme (makeup, music and a fun dance party) plus tutu's, jewelry and a red carpet runway show to add the Fashion touches to her party. We also added some fun hair streaks and Dance Central 3 so the girls could "step up to the streets!"
I absolutely loved the party printables from Frog Prince Paperie and they complemented this party so well. I put together a collage that consisted of some of her photo's edited with a Pop Art photo app. I put the collage in the front entrance of our house so that it set the tone of the party, especially with the dance fever picture. The first activity was the backstage VIP area where the girls had a change to get all decked out with makeup and hair color. We also had the girls dancing in the Dance Central 3 area while the hair and makeup sessions where going on. Once everyone finished getting made up, we then had the girls to get their tutu's and jewelry from Mckenna's Fashion Boutique so we could get ready for the red carpet. The girls where so excited! Some of them danced down the red carpet and some of them did their best modeling poses. We even had one cute little girl do the worm…a red carpet first! After our red carpet show the girls enjoyed even more dancing and then it was time for those yummy "Fashion" cupcakes! The party ended with the girls taking home some treats from the candy buffet. What a great time we had! Mckenna's already planning her next birthday!

Aeroflex Announces Advanced Field Tests with the Handheld 3500 Test Set
Aeroflex announced the release of new software for the 3500 1 GHz handheld radio test set to support Survey Technologies Field Test 6 Software. Now, users of the 3500 series can improve and automate the acquisition, analysis and display of signal strength across a given terrain, as well as inside buildings. Field Test 6 has expanded the drive-test measurement concept to include indoor measurement and analysis for applications where GPS is not available. The handheld capability of the 3500, along with the Field Test 6 software, allows users to map out their building or geographical areas and find any sections that contain a weak signal. Armed with this information users can improve critical communications within those areas.
"The 3500 with software release 3.2.0 provides for advanced testing of signal strength and provides a very portable, handheld solution for mapping signal strength inside buildings. Weighing only eight pounds, the 3500 is ideal for anyone that needs portable signal strength tests," says Rob Barden, director of product marketing for Aeroflex.
In addition to the support for the Field Test 6 software, version 3.2.0 now supports a new audio scope feature for viewing demodulated audio signals or for use in troubleshooting audio circuits.

Markets struggled to make gains Friday after another solid week that's sent many of the world's major stock indexes to multi-year highs.
U.S. stock markets have been at the forefront of the global advance, with the Dow Jones index recording a series of highs during a ten-day winning streak and the broader S&P 500 on the cusp of its own historic peak.
How markets close out the week could hinge on a raft of U.S. economic figures later in the day that include monthly inflation and industrial production data as well as the Empire survey into manufacturing conditions around the New York region.
"Recent U.S. data has been positive so the markets will be looking for this to continue," said Neil MacKinnon, global market strategist at VTB Capital.
In Europe, the FTSE 100 index of leading British shares was down 0.1 percent at 6,521 while Germany's DAX fell the same rate to 8,057. The CAC-40 in France underperformed its peers, trading 0.5 percent lower at 3,851.
Wall Street was poised for an unspectacular opening, though how it actually fares will depend on the economic figures. Both Dow futures and the S&P futures were down 0.1 percent.
Developments on Wall Street and the U.S. economy have largely dominated market sentiment this year despite ongoing worries over the global economy, particularly in Europe.
A summit of the 27 European Union leaders in Brussels failed to deliver any fundamental change in economic strategy though there was more talk of the need to promote growth rather than just cut debt.
"Despite the previously entrenched positions, there are signs from the tone and language of the meeting that there may be a slight softening of their austerity position," said Rebecca O'Keeffe, head of investment at Interactive Investor.
Developments in the currency markets were a little muted, with the euro up 0.3 percent at $1.3051 and the dollar 0.1 percent higher at 96.11 yen.
One currency that has been in the ascendancy over the past day has been the British pound after Bank of England Governor Mervyn King said he suggested the currency was "properly valued."
Traders took his remarks as a sign that the Bank does not want to see further falls in the currency, which has been in retreat for the past few weeks on expectations of another monetary stimulus from the central bank. His comments Thursday pushed the pound back above the $1.51 mark.
Earlier in Asia, Japan's Nikkei 225 rose 1.5 percent to 12,560.95 - its highest close in more than four years - after both houses of parliament endorsed Haruhiko Kuroda, the current president of the Asia Development Bank, to head the Bank of Japan.
The vote allows Kuroda to stand in for current Bank of Japan governor, Masaaki Shirakawa, after he steps down on March 19. Another vote is required to make Kuroda's appointment permanent.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng fell 0.4 percent to 22,533.11. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 advanced 1.8 percent to 5,120.20. Benchmarks in mainland China, Thailand and Indonesia rose.
Oil markets were subdued, with the benchmark New York rate up 13 cents at $93.16 a barrel.

Long Ball Night
Last night was more like the Phillies of the past three seasons: the offense picked up the pitching.
Cole, uncharacteristically, struggled with his control but the offense took over, thanks to three home runs. This team is built on power and speed and those two attributes are starting to resurface.
Shane's injury will be re-evaluated later today. Todd Zolecki will post the news as soon as it is available.
Weekly Conference Call
Ruben conducted his weekly conference call with his staff and pro scouts. Obvious topic this week is the 4 p.m. (EDT) trade deadline on Saturday. Ruben and his assistants will be going to Washington for the weekend.
Traveling Hawaiian
Came across the following note on the BlueClaws blog, the official blog of the Lakewood BlueClaws produced by Greg Giombarrese, Director, Media & Public Relations. It is a blog worth following.
"The Keoni De Renne Eastern Tour…IF Keoni De Renne has rejoined the BlueClaws, his third stint with the team this year…He began the season with the BlueClaws before
going to Reading for two weeks (where he was the only R-Phil to get a hit off Stephen Strasburg)…He then went to Clearwater, was sent to extended spring training, then was reactivated by Clearwater…In early June, he was sent to Lakewood again, where he finished the half…On June 21st, it was back to Clearwater…In early July, he was sent to Reading and then Lehigh Valley, before re-joining the BlueClaws…Overall he is 24-78 (.308) in 30 games with four Phillies affiliates this year."
De Renne is an infielder who was signed as a minor league free agent this spring. He was born on Honolulu.
Retro Night
Tomorrow night is 1980's Retro Night. Phillies memorabilia from that era will be on display in the Mitchell & Ness Alley Store. Anthem: Tommy Conwell from Tommy Conwell and the Young Rumblers. Phillies photos on PhanaVision will be featured as TV characters from the 1980s.
Fans are encouraged to dress as they did in the 1980s. Not me. My leisure suite doesn't fit. It shrank.

(MEDIA GENERAL) – Full disclosure, Thanksgiving might be my favorite holiday. Christmas has its flashy charms and summer holidays allow me to show off my semi-professional grilling techniques, but Thanksgiving is a day devoted to spending time with family, relaxing, stuffing your face and watching football – three of my favorite things to do! (Kidding, mom!)
The menu sets Thanksgiving apart from every other holiday and is part of what makes it great. I love a strong, traditional Thanksgiving feast. But not all dishes are created equal. So here's my order of best Thanksgiving dishes.
DNQ: Green Bean Casserole, Sweet Potatoes, Stuffing
I know. I KNOW! I have the palate of a 7-year-old. I've never liked vegetables. Ever. I wish I did! But I don't. So save your angry emails, I'm not badmouthing these dishes, I just can't rank them in good faith because I pass on these 99 percent of the time.
8. Corn
Look, corn, you're fine. You're absolutely fine. But you hit your stride in summer with fresh corn on the cob. By November? Just accept your role as a background player. I will eat you IF there is room on my plate or if I decide I should try to have one remotely healthy food on my plate.
7. Mac and Cheese
It turns out mac and cheese may not be the Thanksgiving staple a lot of people believe it to be. Growing up, my family never served mac and cheese — or any pasta dish, for that matter — at Thanksgiving. But homemade mac and cheese — when done right… I'm getting sweaty just thinking about it.
Regardless, when I think Thanksgiving, I don't think mac and cheese.
Hot take: More homemade mac and cheese needs gorgonzola or bleu cheese. The smellier, the better! Give it more flavor!
6. Cranberry, etc.
Cranberry dishes were never the star of the show at my family's dinner when I was a kid, but as I've grown older I've learned to respect a well-assembled Cranberry dessert. I see you, cranberries.
5. Ham
I remember the first time I learned many families ate ham as well as turkey on Thanksgiving. I felt like I had been missing out; like I was somehow robbed of a very specific joy and only now learning of the letdown. A well-prepared ham is heavenly and will have room on my plate every day of the week.
But Thanksgiving is a turkey holiday and therefore ham sits lower on the list. Sorry, ham. I'll see you at Christmas.
4. Pie
Pie is great, but I don't go to the table to breeze through my meal to get to the pie. In many ways, pie is the afterthought. I forget about pie until I'm midway through my second helping of potatoes and realize my stomach is quickly approaching capacity.
Hot take: Pecan > pumpkin. Come at me, internet! This isn't even a bold opinion, it's just a fact.
3. Mashed Potatoes
We are firmly into the "everything is awesome" portion of this list. Mashed potatoes are so good! Drenched in gravy? Shove some bits of corn and turkey scrapings in there? Hoo boy!
Things can get a little dicey, however, when some people get a little too creative with the potato dish. I understand everyone's desire to get creative but don't use me as your crash test dummy. I want recipes that have been tried and tested. I don't want to swing and miss on Thanksgiving.
Hot take: Don't serve lumpy mashed potatoes. I want creamy, buttery mashed potatoes that were prepared with love. Sore shoulders are just another sign that you care about your family.
Hotter take: The instant potatoes out of a box are fine. If you have to skimp somewhere and dedicate time to another dish, instant potatoes work for me. Again, I fully acknowledge I'm a Neanderthal.
2. Turkey/Gravy
The few, the proud, the people who openly admit that turkey is delicious. If you read 10 articles about Thanksgiving meals, odds are seven of them will say turkey is trash and no one actually likes it. That is blasphemy.
You know what, turkey haters? I feel sorry for you. I really do. When prepared properly, turkey is a juicy meat with a decent flavor profile that is ENHANCED by gravy. It still stands just fine on its own. Perhaps instead of dissing a perfectly respectable meat you should work on learning how to stop drying out your bird.

1. Cornbread/Rolls/Biscuits
If turkey isn't No. 1, it's because someone brought homemade cornbread or fresh rolls or straight-from-the-oven biscuits. … I think I need to go lay down. Accompanied with a healthy (unhealthy, actually) swipe of butter, any of the three perfectly compliment the rest of the meal.
I've had biscuits, cornbread and rolls at Thanksgiving meals over the years and they all are amazing in their own unique way. The flavor in a dense, crumbly corn bread is so filling and delicious. A warm, buttery biscuit hits all the right notes for me. A soft, pillowy roll may be the most ideal Thanksgiving bread – perfect for splitting in half to make a mini turkey sandwich a few hours after dinner.

2006 Mitsubishi Raider DuroCross - Review and Test Drive
Our Mitsu gives us another quarter of solid service
Here in Southern California it is hard to find a vehicle that actually turns heads or causes people to ask questions, but that is exactly our situation with our long-term Mitsubishi Raider. While we are starting to see a few others on the road, we still haven't seen one quite like our DuroCross and we have had several people ask us about the truck at the gas pump.
What sets our Raider apart from the Dodge Dakota it shares a platform with is the Mitsu-infused styling. The bold fenders and very unpickup nose help to give a distinctive form to the Raider. If there is a complaint about styling, we would argue that the wheelwells and wheel-and-tire package look too small for the bold stance.
While the Raider is well suited for the highway with a comfortable interior and plush ride, we have logged several complaints about the softness of the front suspension that causes the truck to pogo over certain road surfaces, something that would be easily fixed by installing a quality set of dampers, helping to make the Raider feel as sporty as the rest of the Mitsubishi lineup.
Testers have also noted a lack of power from the 230hp 4.7L SOHC V-8, which doesn't feel as potent as some V-6s from the competition (the High Output version from the Dakota is not offered). While it does give the Raider a 6,500-pound tow rating, it is also fairly thirsty, returning less than 14 mpg during this report.
So far, the Raider, with its crew-cab configuration, has handled family duty, commuter duty, and hauling duty, performing it all to our expectations. We haven't had any problems to report and since we haven't quite gotten enough mileage for the first 7,500-mile service, we haven't visited the dealership yet. We'll let you know how our dealership experience is at our next report and let you know how our Raider is holding up.

Interesting article on the website of Middle East and Islam scholar Raymond Ibrahim, written by Ralph H. Sidway, Orthodox Christian researcher and writer, author of the book Facing Islam: What the Ancient Church has to say about the Religion of Muhammad.
The piece is important because it examines, among other things, the Orthodox Church clergy's little-discussed role in the liberation of Greece from Ottoman rule, and because it may help to reduce the gap among the different Christian Churches and denominations that can be an obstacle to a unified Christian response to persecution and common enemies.
The article, alliteratively entitled Assassination Plot Points to Perilous Position of Patriarch, explores the history of the Christians of what is Turkey today under Muslim Ottoman rule and their dhimmi (subjugated) status, adding: "One aspect of the dhimma which is most terrifying is the concept of "collective punishment." If one Christian violates the dhimma contract, Muslims may attack any or all Christians. The real world applications of this practice during the Ottoman era were severe indeed" (Emphasis mine).
This situation worsened over the ages since the Fall of Constantinople to the Muslim armies in 1453 through the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The birth of nationalist and liberal (not in the current, politically-correct sense, mind you, but in the opposite, freedom-loving, classical-liberalism sense) movements throughout Europe in the 19th century resulted in the 1821 uprising against the Ottoman Empire by Greeks in Turkey and Constantinople, who suffered terrible slaughter.
Sidway, quoting from historical sources, focuses on the position of the Orthodox Church during the Ottoman rule, "a terrible one, and it is impossible to describe all the suffering, humiliation, and outright persecution the Church was obliged to undergo in this age, which was dark indeed... many [patriarchs] were put to torture… Churches were defiled, relics cut to pieces, and the Holy Gifts profaned. Christian pogroms became more and more frequent".
Ecumenical Patriarchs, other clergy and even monastics were killed under the Muslim Turks, suffering martyric deaths, and "paved the way towards freedom for the Greek people". Links are in the original article:
Recently a man was arrested in Turkey in connection with a plot to assassinate Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I of Constantinople. The alleged plot was set up to slay the Patriarch on the 560th anniversary of the Fall of Constantinople on May 29. You can read a couple of articles covering different aspects of the story at Huffington Post and at Today's Zaman (a Turkish news website).
What I would like to draw attention to, so as to provide some context for this story, is the very real threat to Ecumenical Patriarchate (and indeed to all Christian clergy) over the past several hundred years...
But the amazing contribution of the "higher clergy," the bishops, is very important. Again we turn to John Sanidopoulos, who translates an historical summary by political scientist Konstandinos Holevas:
Blood-Stained Cassocks and 1821
Without the Orthodox clergy the great national campaign of 1821 would not have succeeded. Some propagandists of outdated ideologies deny the role of the Bishops and speak only of the "lower clergy". They are wrong both in terms of terminology and in their historical perspective.
In the Orthodox Church the higher clergy are the Bishops, the Presbyters (priests) and the Deacons. To the lower clergy belong the Subdeacon and the Reader, who are laymen. The French Consul François Pouqueville writes that 100 Patriarchs and Bishops were killed during the Turkish Occupation and the Struggle [of 1821]. Before 1821 there were 80 movements made by Greeks, and most were led by Bishops. Remember that from 1680 to 1700 Eastern Central Greece was free after two Bishops revolted, Hierotheos of Thebes and Philotheos of Salona.
1821 is stained with the blood of Patriarch Gregory V and Patriarch Cyril VI, from Andrionople. Besides Bishop Germanos of Patras, who blessed the banner at Holy Lavra Monastery and in Patras, Isaiah of Salona declared Revolution in Fokida and was sacrificed in Alamana. The Patmian Patriarch of Alexandria, Theophilos Pagkostas, went to Patmos and raised the banner of revolution. From then he never returned to his throne.
Most Bishops of Peloponnesos were imprisoned by the Pasha of Tripoli from the beginning of March 1821, and only two were found alive when the Greeks entered after 6.5 months. Let us not forget this sacrifice of the shepherds.
In Cyprus, Archbishop Kyprianos had joined the Filiki Etairia (Society of Friends). The Turks were informed and on 9 July 1821 there was a great slaughter in Nicosia. Kyprianos together with all the Bishops and Archimandrites were killed together with the elders.
Many other Bishops played a significant role in the Struggle, such as Anthimos of Elos, Theodoritos of Vresthena, Joseph of Androusa, and Neophytos of Talantio (Livadeia). And in the Grand Exodus of Messolonghi, Bishop Joseph of Rogon, aid to Metropolitan Porphyrios of Arta, was sacrificed while blowing the windmill.
All who lived at that time were confessors: Bishops, priests, simple monastics, all proclaimed their "presence". Our [Greek] Freedom is owed primarily to the Blood-stained Cassocks.
Eventually, the Serbs and Bulgarians threw off the Muslim yoke as well.[3] It was this series of humiliating defeats during the nineteenth century, and losses in the Balkan Wars of the early twentieth century, which enraged the Turkish Muslims, who turned on the weakest elements of their Christian population, precipitating their infamous genocide against the Christians of Armenia, Greece, Pontus, and Syria, massacring over 3.6 million men women and children (some dying from starvation, disease and the forced deportations) from 1894 to 1922. Sporadic persecutions against remaining Christians extended well into the 1950s, perhaps the worst example being the Istanbul Pogroms of 1955, which dealt a crushing blow to the Orthodox Christian community in Turkey. The Greek population of Turkey had already been reduced to about 120,000 in 1927 (following the main period of the Orthodox Christian Genocide); by 1978 it had collapsed to only 7,000. According to the Human Rights Watch, by 2006 there were only 2500 Greeks in Turkey.
Thus we see, from the very beginning of Muslim occupation of former Byzantine Christian lands, persecution of not merely lay Christians, but of all the clergy, including the Patriarchs, was standard practice for the Muslim Turks. Brutal and prolonged persecution, pressure and institutionalized discrimination has almost exterminated the Orthodox Christian population from what was once a flourishing Christian civilization. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the Muslim Turks mercilessly targeted the weakest of the weak, setting an example that Hitler extolled in his plans for his Third Reich.
When it comes to Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, the Turks do not by any stretch of the imagination have a "rabble rouser" on their hands. Recently, yes, His All Holiness has taken a vocal stand against converting the great Hagia Sophia museum into a mosque.[4] He has also been persistent in asking for the Turkish government to return the Halki Seminary to the Patriarchate and allow it to reopen. The seminary, closed by the Turks in 1971, was the only indigenous Orthodox seminary in Turkey. Orthodox clergy since then must pursue theological studies overseas, yet bishops must meet ridiculously stringent requirements of Turkish citizenship in order to serve at the Phanar, the seat of the Patriarchate. +Bartholomew has also stood valiantly against suggestions by the Turks that the title "Ecumenical" be removed from his office.
And that's not all. The ancient thread of crude and dangerous persecution from the Ottoman days is strong as ever in modern, moderate Turkey. As journalist Nicholas Gage pointedly observed back in 2008:
The Ecumenical Patriarchate, which was established in the fourth century and once possessed holdings as vast as those of the Vatican, has been reduced to a small, besieged enclave in a decaying corner of Istanbul called the Phanar, or Lighthouse. Almost all of its property has been seized by successive Turkish governments, its schools have been closed and its prelates are taunted by extremists who demonstrate almost daily outside the Patriarchate, calling for its ouster from Turkey.In my book, Facing Islam, I express my concerns over some of His Holiness' statements, notably in his book, Encountering the Mystery, where he writes of a "dialogue of loving truth" with Islam, and of Orthodoxy having for centuries "coexisted peacefully" with Islam, and where he also projects the chimera of an "interfaith commitment… still felt and lived by Greeks [and] Turks"[5] as an example for all to follow.
The ecumenical patriarch, Bartholomew I, is often jeered and threatened when he ventures outside his walled enclave. He is periodically burned in effigy by Turkish chauvinists and Muslim fanatics. Government bureaucrats take pleasure in harassing him, summoning him to their offices to question and berate him about irrelevant issues, blocking his efforts to make repairs in the few buildings still under his control, and issuing veiled threats about what he says and does when he travels abroad.
Elsewhere in his book, he goes even further, calling for the tearing down of "the wall of separation between East and West, between Muslims and Christians, between all religions of the world," and writing warmly, "One who achieves the state of inner peace in relation to God is a true Muslim."[6]
Such unfortunate effusions obscure the Truth of Christianity, giving the impression that +Bartholomew leans towards some sort of syncretic, relativistic creed, embracing the equal validity of all religions and especially of Islam and Christianity.
Yet we must understand such assurances in context, as being carefully crafted to pacify both the hostile government under whose thumb His All Holiness struggles to lead his flock, as well as the sea of easily agitated Muslims who surround the tiny island of Orthodoxy in Istanbul. No doubt +Bartholomew's concern is to avert Muslim aggression not so much against himself, but against the dwindling Christian population of Turkey, which has endured nearly six centuries of relentless persecution and pressure from their Islamic masters. Sounding a falsely irenic tone is too often a sad necessity for those oppressed under Islamic rule.
While we may be heartened by the brave resolve and serene faith of Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew in the face of such overwhelming odds, if Muslim history is any indication, he may yet earn his heavenly crown in a far more abrupt fashion than his longsuffering, patient endurance of trials. May it not be so, and may God grant His All Holiness many years! And may we even see the conversion of Hagia Sophia back into a Christian church! [All emphases added]

Ratko Mladic Arrested
The arrest of Ratko Mladic is a welcome development that should remove the last major obstacle to closer relations between Serbia and the United States and the EU nations. For too long, the Western powers have placed an excessive emphasis on his apprehension as a condition (explicit or implicit) for Serbia's full inclusion in the Western community.
If the objections now continue, Serbs will understandably conclude that the Mladic issue was little more than a convenient excuse that Western governments used to justify a less‐than‐friendly policy toward Belgrade. An expected improvement in relations now that Mladic has been apprehended is especially pertinent with respect to Serbia's path toward membership in the European Union.
The arrest will have little substantive impact on prospects for reconciliation in Bosnia‐Herzegovina or anywhere else in the former Yugoslavia, however. The trend in Bosnia over the past year or so is toward renewed tensions rather than reconciliation, and that trend is being driven by factors that have little to do with the Mladic issue.

Pumpkin carving can be treacherous business, and not just for pumpkins. In fact, according to a 2004 article published in the journal Preventive Medicine, it's actually easier to cut human flesh than it is to cut a pumpkin.
Over at The Guardian, Marc Abrahams (editor of the Annals of Improbable Research and curator of all things scientifically weird) explains:
Alexander M Marcus, Jason K Green and Frederick W Werner at the State University of New York Upstate Medical University in Syracuse published a study, called The Safety of Pumpkin-Carving Tools, in the journal Preventive Medicine.
"Pumpkin-carving accidents", they inform their peers who read the report, "may leave people with compromised hand function".
There are several kinds of lacerations and puncture wounds that can lead to this hand-compromisation. Lacerations occur "when the knife blade travels across the surface of the hand" or "when the knife is accidentally pushed too far forward and cuts the opposite hand stabilising the pumpkin", or "when the cutting hand slips forward off the handle and on to the blade", in which case "injury occurs across zone 2 of the volar surface [the palm] of the hand, while the flexor tendons are taut from gripping the knife".
Marcus, Green and Werner then went on to measure how much force was required to make a cut with four different knives (two "official" pumpkin cutting knives, one serrated kitchen knife, and one plain-edge) — first on pumpkins, and then on "six cadaver forearms... harvested at the elbow."
Real, actual cadaver forearms! Getting gored with pumpkin-carving tools! Scientists always get to have all the fun. Read more details over at The Guardian.

Make Up Tip From Liz Correct Foundation Color
Finding Your Correct Foundation Color:
When looking for a new makeup color I always recommend matching the neck and décolletage.
A lot of times our skin color varies between our face and the rest of our body. This is because our face receives the most sun (SPF!). So if you match your face and don't check to make sure the color matches everything else it is very easy to end up with the dreaded "line" along the jawline.
When applying makeup, make sure to always blend your makeup down your neck as well. This will also help to ensure nice even coverage.
