We're going to try something a little different here for a few weeks. Normally on Thursday we look at throwback songs. They're usually big hits from the past and it's pretty cool to remember them, but one thing I always have wanted to do is look at album cuts that maybe should have been hits.
Country artists put so much effort into their albums yet many people only hear the big hits. We miss out on a lot of great songs that are just album cuts. So here is a song you won't want to overlook.
Portland, Maine – Tim McGraw
This is a little different since it's from Tim's most recent album. It could still become a single and I hope it does, but I don't know if it will. Tim has already had three singles from his most recent album and there are some other great songs on that record.
This song is really cool. The sound is so different from anything else on radio. And that's one of the great things about Tim McGraw. He has said that he always looks for a new sound first and then looks at the lyrics. It makes him different from other artists and he's not always out there following trends.
The song is pretty sad. It's about a couple that's breaking up instead of trying to make it work with a long-term relationship. It's got this sad feeling, but you know there are plenty of people out there feeling this way. Really cool song and I hope you like it. It's one you don't want to miss because it's not a single.

|Atmospheric CO2 and the composition and function of soil microbial communities
|Publication Type
|Journal Article
|Year of Publication
|Zak DR, Pregitzer KS, Curtis PS, Holmes WE
|Ecological Applications
Elevated atmospheric CO2 has the potential to increase the production and alter the chemistry of organic substrates entering soil from plant production, the magnitude of which is constrained by soil-N availability. Because microbial growth in soil is limited by substrate inputs from plant production, we reasoned that changes in the amount and chemistry of these organic substrates could affect the composition of soil microbial communities and the cycling of N in soil. We studied microbial community composition and soil-N transformations beneath Populus tremuloides Michx. growing under experimental atmospheric CO2 (35.7 and 70.7 Pa) and soil-N-availability (low N = 61 ng N /g/d and high N = 319 ng N/g/d) treatments. Atmospheric CO2 concentration was modified in large, open-top chambers, and we altered soil-N availability in open-bottom root boxes by mixing different proportions of A and C horizon material. We used phospholipid fatty-acid analysis to gain insight into microbial community composition and coupled this analysis to measurements of soil-N transformation using 15N-pool dilution techniques. The information presented here is part of an integrated experiment designed to elucidate the physiological mechanisms controlling the flow of C and N in the plant-soil system. Our objectives were (1) to determine whether changes in plant growth and tissue chemistry alter microbial community composition and soil-N cycling in response to increasing atmospheric CO2 and soil-N availability and (2) to integrate the results of our experiment into a synthesis of elevated atmopsheric CO2 and the cycling of C and N in terrestrial ecosystems. After 2.5 growing seasons, microbial biomass, gross N mineralization, microbial immobilization, and nitrification (gross and net) were equivalent at ambient and elevated CO2, suggesting that increases in fine-root production and declines in fine-root N concentration were insufficient to alter the influence of native soil organic matter on microbial physiology; this was the case in both low- and high-N soils. Similarly, elevated CO2 did not alter the proportion of bacterial, actinomycetal, or fungal phospholipid fatty acids in low-N or high-N soil, indicating that changes in substrate input from greater plant growth under elevated CO2 did not alter microbial community composition. Our results differ from a substantial number of studies reporting increases and decreases in soil-N cycling under elevated CO2. From our analysis, it appears that soil-N cycling responds to elevated atmospheric CO2 in experimental situations where plant roots have fully colonized the soil and root-associated C inputs are sufficient to modify the influence of native soil organic matter on microbial physiology. In young developing ecosystems where plant roots have not fully exploited the soil, microbial metabolism appears to be regulated by relatively large pools or soil organic matter, rather than by the additional input of organic substrates under elevated CO2.

A general-interest magazine that will draw on the rich resources of the Library of Congress may be in the offing by next year, according to a story in the Library's Information Bulletin.
Civilization: The Magazine of the Library of Congress will be market-tested at year's end and, if tests indicate a sufficiently high subscriber potential, the start-up will go forward, according to the Oct. 8 story, with the magazine set to debut in late 1991.
Civilization represents an unusual joint venture between the Library and a New York publishing group headed by Mark Edmiston, a former president of Newsweek, and Charles Rodin, a consultant whose clients include the Hearst Corporation and Scholastic Inc. It will be written by an editorial staff independent of the Library.
The monthly journal will contain articles on current issues, such as the environment, technology, and cultural affairs, and will run as a regular feature a two-page section promoting events and resources available from the Library.
"If this magazine, aimed at the intelligent lay reader, is successful," said Peter Braestrup, the Library's senior editor, "it will give libraries in general, and the Library of Congress in particular, a new national constituency of 1 million households."
Further plans are to be announced in March.
Several recently introduced children's versions of popular magazines are fresh evidence of the publishing industry's renewed interest in the children's market--not only as a key to enhanced advertising revenues, but also as a circulation booster at a time when baby-boom parents are seeking at-home instructional help.
Consumer Reports, Sports Illustrated, and Field and Stream have created junior versions and special youth editions, and Time and Fortune are said to be looking into the concept.
In addition, the Walt Disney Company last month launched its own tabloid for children containing cartoons, games, and stories on people, nature, and science.
Seeing in these and other developments a new, popularized form of combating illiteracy, the Educational Press Association of America has created a directory listing the growing number of education-related journals available to young readers.
Magazines for Children contains information on 123 periodicals published in the United States and Canada. Each listing gives a brief description of the publication, its target audience, cost, and ordering address. Also included are two indexes categorizing all titles by subject matter, age, and grade level.
Magazines for Children is available for $5.25 from the International Reading Association, P.O. Box 8139, Newark, Del. 19714-8139.
Recognizing the growth in the use of children's literature as an aid to learning, the American Library Association also has created a new publication, "Book Links: Connecting Books, Libraries, and Classrooms," aimed at teachers and librarians who want to incorporate such materials into K-8 lesson plans.
"Book Links" profiles current books, suggests connections between books, subject matter, and age group, and presents strategies for introducing literature to students.
Now appearing as a monthly insert in the ALA's Booklist magazine, "Book Links" will be published six times a year as an independent magazine beginning September 1991.
To subscribe, contact the American Library Association at (312) 280-5044.
Touch Books Inc. of Tampa, Fla., is producing a line of books that offers visually impaired students a way to recognize images and color through the sense of touch.
The company's first volume, The Journey, includes 10 photographs printed with the use of a "deep embossing" technique that gives an accurate tactile representation of objects such as hot-air balloons and waterfalls.
Color codes, resembling Braille type, accompany each picture.
Recommended by the American Council of the Blind and the Library of Congress, The Journey (currently in production) may be ordered by writing Touch Books Inc., P.O. Box 14219, Tampa, Fla. 33690, or calling 1-800-62-TOUCH.
Better parent-school relationships are the focus of "What's Working in Parental Involvement," a newsletter whose charter issue was published this month by the Parent Institute, a division of the Virginia-based NIS Inc., an independent, private agency.
Created as a companion to the institute's "Parents Make the Difference" newsletter, the six-page, 10-times-a-year newsletter offers articles and advice for school administrators and staff members, including case studies of parent-school programs, research about the changing structure of families, public-relations ideas, and resources for obtaining program information.
Individual subscriptions are $79; orders should be addressed to P.O. Box 7474, Fairfax Station, Va. 22039-7474.--SKG

|Economic and Cost-Effectiveness Considerations for Pharmacogenetics Tests: An Integral Part of Translational Research and Innovation Uptake in Personalized Medicine
|PACI Daniele; IBARRETA RUIZ Dolores
|Current Pharmacogenomics and Personalized Medicine vol. 7 no. 4 p. 284-296
|Bentham Science Publishers
|Publication Year:
|Articles in periodicals and books
|Across the translational research continuum from biomarker discovery to public health research, "cost-effectiveness" considerations are crucial, and can significantly impact the adoption of personalized medicine innovations. Cost-effectiveness is concerned with providing evidence to compare the (economic) costs and the health outcomes of competing health interventions or technologies. This also affects translational research in all stages, including clinical trials, post-market monitoring and population health outcome assessment. Indeed, economic considerations are important in determining the development and diffusion of a new technology in any scientific field. This is particularly true in health-related sectors, wherein governments and regulatory agencies with a mandate and commitment to efficient and rational allocation of resources require transparent and rigorous economic evidence to support or decline the adoption of a new technology. In the context of personalized medicine and theragnostics (i.e., the fusion of therapeutics and diagnostics), the use of genomics in clinical practice can be markedly facilitated by tandem evaluation of the clinical benefits/risks of customized health interventions and their cost-effectiveness. This paper provides a synthesis of the past and emerging literature on cost-effectiveness studies that evaluate pharmacogenetics tests. We conclude that despite the recent efforts, there is still a scarcity of convincing evidence on the cost-effectiveness of genomics products that creates a barrier in the uptake of pharmacogenetics in personalized medicine. Additionally, the reasons that limit a wider development of the cost-effectiveness analyses in this field are discussed, with a view to amend the above translational gaps in the literature.

Local Philadelphia Inquirer columnist Trudy Rubin surveys the shape of Iraq today and worries about the future when US troops are scheduled to depart. She felt that Iran, which had not expanded its territory since, as far as I'm aware, the early 1600s, would gain tremendous influence. This is hardly a new concern.
In the spring of 2003, the Islamic Republic of Iran not only proposed to negotiate with the Bush administration on its nuclear program and its support for terrorists but also offered concrete concessions that went very far toward meeting U.S. concerns.
Bush, swelling with pride and hubris, refused to consider opening negotiations and the opportunity to defuse tensions between the US and Iran was quickly frittered away. Allegations of Iranian involvement in Iraq go back to late 2006. A great deal was made of (allegedly) Iranian EFPS (Explosive Formed Penetrators, sort of like IEDs, but more useful against armored vehicles), but there wasn't actually much evidence that the EFPs came from Iran.
These same weapons were first used by the IRA and spread to Columbia's FARC and Spain's ETA as well as Hizboullah and other terror groups worldwide years before the US-led invasion of Iraq. They are easy to make in any minimally equipped machine shop and at least three manufactories for EFP's have been found inside Iraq itself.
One of the real problems Rubin identifies with Iraq trying to remain out of Iran's orbit is that
Iraq already depends on Iran for about 10 percent of desperately needed electric power (U.S. inability to help Iraq produce enough electricity, despite many aid projects, has bewildered Iraqis).
There's no mystery about the US failure to reconstruct Iraq. I've long identified the need for, and advocated, and have known that there will never be, an American "Colonial Corps" for Iraq. The US could have used such a unit in Iraq after the fall of Baghdad, heck, such a unit could have prevented the sacking of Baghdad's government buildings in the aftermath of the US takeover, which would have in turn facilitated reconstruction. The US could have used such a corps in 2005, 2007, 2009 and could still use it today. I'm not speaking of some touchy-feely "Let's get Iraqis and Americans to get to know each other" kind of stuff.
The US needs about 10,000 to 15,000 people (A buddy of mine suggested that the US Army Corps of Engineers would be extremely well-suited for this job. True, so would the US Navy Seabees. I just don't think it's a job that only military people can handle as the ability to march in formation or handle weapons would be irrelevant to doing this job) to survey each city, town and village for reconstruction projects that need to be accomplished, would order the necessary materials from the US or from geographically closer sources, and would see to it that funds were obtained from the US to pay Iraqis to carry out the projects.
This would absolutely need to be a hands-on project. There would need to be American people on the ground, speaking the language and seeing to it that projects were carried out with minimal corruption. In 2008, Iraq received very low scores by Global Integrity, which was reporting on government and corruption. Also, as of mid-2008, the US had lost $23 billion to corruption in Iraq. A separate corps is needed to provide accountability. It simply cannot be outsourced to local persons. Also, Americans have to run the projects as America need to get the credit for doing so. Americans can and should utilize local expertise and should try to work through existing authorities, but outsourcing the management of the reconstruction projects to Iraqis means not only will projects never be completed, but no one will attribute the projects to the right source.
President George W. Bush never made a full-throated appeal for people to go to Iraq as soldiers. In late 2003, as country after country dropped out of the "Coalition of the Willing," the call went out for volunteers to serve on draft boards. But as Bush realized that a draft would open up all sorts of problems, nothing followed that. Shortly after the fall of Baghdad, as Rajiv Chandrasekaran's book "Imperial Life in the Emerald City: Inside Baghdad's Green Zone" showed, the Green Zone was run by hopelessly young, completely unqualified people. America's experienced professionals preferred to stay home and blog against the "Enemy at Home" (i.e., liberals). As Naomi Klein showed in her book "The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism," L. Paul Bremer was far more concerned with imposing neo-liberal economic policies in Iraq than he was with actually rebuilding the place and getting services to function again.
As a buddy of mine, Ben Burrows, puts it in an LTE:
Boo hoo, Trudy Rubin (Worldview, 7/8). The nice little war you cheered from the Petraeus bunker, the nation-building you and Tom Friedman so desperately wanted to succeed, is winding to an end. The trillions we spent in Iraq that might have been applied to medical care or industrial investments at home lie wasted on desert sands, often used against us by the very people you thought were our friends and allies. The lives that have been maimed or lost heroically in the pursuit of some Kipling-esque White Man's Burden "nobility" can never be repaid, and the productive capacity and intelligence they might have provided will be permanently lost. Yet Rubin longs still for a better outcome, that shining sunny Teheran on a Hill that might have been.
The idea that the US can construct or even enable a workable government from half a world away is, as Burrows says, a fantasy. Back during the "Great Game" between Britain and Russia for Afghanistan (Russia's ultimate goal was India, Britain successfully stopped Russia several hundred miles short of that), Rudyard Kipling wrote "Kim," a book that popularized the Great Game and made Britons identify very strongly with the struggle over there. There is nothing even remotely comparable in America's culture today towards any country in that part of the world. As Rubin points out:
Of course, Americans are even more weary of this war than of the Afghan conflict. And any extension of U.S. troops would require a request from Maliki, a Shiite, which he looks unlikely to make.
So, I just don't see any sort of American victory on the horizon. A Colonial Corps would need to be protected by an able military force and would need to spend lots and lots of money at a time when Republicans, Blue Dog Democrats and even President Obama are shrieking and pulling out their hair about deficits. Why are they all concerned about deficits at a time of 9% unemployment, at a time when Global Warming and Peak Oil are screaming for attention and at at time when President Obama explicitly declares that US infrastructure needs $2 trillion in upgrades and maintenance? Damned if I know, but I think such concerns are weighing far more heavily in Washington DC than concerns about Iraq ever will and Iraq is simply never going to be fixed up short of a serious national effort coming from this side of the world.

I was invited to dinner earlier this week and Barb made this salad from The Silver Palate Cookbook. It was amazing! I love it that you can have the whole thing ready ahead of time. So it is a perfect summer meal! Barb cooked the salmon while we ate appetizers. She slightly modifies the original recipe so I added her changes in parenthesis. She also said that you could just use a can of tuna or salmon. Why not?
By the way I stole the whole thing from this Website
1/2 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
1/2 tsp granulated sugar (I would use honey or maple syrup instead)
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
minced parsley and/or chives, to taste
1/4 extra virgin olive oil
4 fingerling potatoes (about 1/4 pound)
1/2 pound green beans
2 ripe Italian plum tomatoes, quartered
1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 tbsp Nicoise olives
pinch salt
freshly ground pepper to taste
2 hard cooked eggs, quartered or sliced
4 oz Ahi tuna (Barb used salmon)
Tbsp capers
2 cups mixed greens
Cook potatoes in boiling salted water until tender but not mushy, about 10 mins. When slightly cool, quarter and transfer to large bowl. Cook green beans in boiling salted water for 3-4 minutes, until tender, but still firm. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking and pat dry in paper towels. Place in bowl with potatoes. Add tomatoes, onion, olives, parsley, a pinch of salt and the pepper. Pour 2 tbsp vinaigrette over vegetables and toss gently.
Prepare grill (or use a grill pan). Lightly rub tuna with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and sear over high heat for 2 mins per side (providing your tuna is about an inch thick, if thinner, sear for 1 1/2 mins per side). Slice tuna into thin slices.
Barb baked the salmon at 350 for about 15 minutes. She said all she did was rub olive oil, salt and pepper and then put it in the oven. It was perfectly moist.
Place one cup mixed greens on plate, top with vegetable mixture and arrange tuna slices on top. Place egg quarters around, sprinkle capers over. Drizzle with additional vinaigrette and serve room temperature.
I can't imagine that this dish would not be a total hit for any family or party!

Today, I actually have a question for you. As you may already know, coffee is one of the few things that I miss about modern society. Sometimes I really crave it, to the point where I wonder what I can do to get some. I want to stay where I am, and I have no interest in going back to the big city, but I want to be able to drink some coffee once in awhile. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to travel to the nearest town and try to barter in order to get some coffee. I do not want to tap into my savings in order to buy it, because dealing with money is one of the things that I wanted to escape when I left the city.
However, I was wondering if maybe I would be able to trade a pelt for some coffee. Would this be something I would actually be able to do? Would it be appropriate? You can let me know exactly what you think in the comments, but I can tell you that I want coffee enough that I am willing to resort to something like this in order to get it. Though I love being away from it all, coffee is one of the things that I wish I was not away from. I don't think it would be cheating when it comes to my commitment to stay away from the bustling modern world if I were to trade a pelt for some coffee, but I want to know what you think on this matter.

History of the Intelligent Design Theory
The discovery and study of fossils made for one of the first challenges to the biblical account of Creation as related in the book of Genesis. In the nineteenth century, new knowledge about the age of fossils and the earth inspired several attempts to reconcile science and religious beliefs. One attempt, the day-age theory, argued that the six days of Creation were in fact six ages rather than twenty-hour periods. Other thinkers of the period continued to advocate a literal interpretation of the Bible.
Charles Darwin's "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection" (1859) engendered a concerted reaction among devout Christians. Notably, Darwin at first conceded the possibility that biological life arose by the will of an unnamed force; he would soon recant this viewpoint, however, and state that evolutionary theory was adequate to explain the rise of life on earth and its great complexity without recourse to theology, even if it could not explain first cause. The Bible-based theories that challenged Darwinian thought resembled those of the previous decades, and represent the precursors of the intelligent design movement.
As science progressed into the twentieth century, evolutionary theory became increasingly accepted by both the scientific community and the general public. The modern synthesis and major discoveries in population genetics and biochemistry deepened and extended Darwin's theory. While scientists did not state that the processes of evolution were proven completely, they argued that the theory proved to be the best description of natural, observable phenomena and their changes over time as borne out in numerous controlled experiments.
Creationists persisted in their theories but were generally marginalized by the scientific and rationalist trends of Western society. The U.S., however, was atypical of industrial countries insofar as Christianity continued to exert significant influence on the culture and challenge the dominant scientific and social paradigms. One such example was "The Genesis Flood" (1961) by John C. Whitcomb, Jr. and Henry M. Morris, a book which became the foundation for the Creation Research Society.
The book was influential on the burgeoning evangelical movement but was roundly dismissed out of hand by scientists. It sought to reconcile the biblical account of the earth's creation with modern geological evidence, arguing that the earth was much younger than evolutionary theory had deduced.
The theories espoused by creationists were at first substantially Christian. A later trend was to remove references to the Bible and to any particular god. Rather than aiming to supplant evolutionary theory, creationists sought to have their theory taught alongside Darwin's theory in public schools.
Intelligent design has some roots in these movements but many of its proponents have to disassociated themselves from them. The movement has its origins in a 1987 setback, when a Supreme Court decision, Edwards v. Aguillard, banned the teaching of creationism in public schools because it was religious in nature and thus violated the separation of church and state. Intelligent design was a new strategy that accentuated the scientific principles upon which it was based in order to promote the idea of a supreme consciousness behind the creation of life and the universe.
The theory of intelligent design does not advocate a literal interpretation of the Bible nor is it affiliated with any single religion, though many of its most vocal proponents are conservative Christians. It also has a more sophisticated relationship to evolutionary theory than its predecessors. It does not deny that evolution has occurred, but it does point out that the theory fails to explain first cause as well as biological complexity.
One of the main contentions of intelligent design is that evolutionary theory has not explained complexity at the level of biochemistry. A process that leads to such complex organisms cannot have occurred without guidance. At the very least, a superior intelligence would have had to create the first cell before evolution could begin. Biologists counter that evolution can lead to such complexity, but proponents of intelligent design argue in turn that biologists have failed to plot out the process convincingly.
Another contention is that complexity cannot arise from randomness alone. This viewpoint is based on the argument that mathematical probability dictates that complex systems do not arise merely by chance. Therefore, a supreme intelligence must be present to guide the process. Both mathematicians and scientists, however, have pointed out that the mathematics involved in demonstrating this point has been misapplied and does not necessarily disprove anything about evolutionary processes.
Unlike most of the previous faith-based movements, intelligent design has the support and guidance of several scientists and intellectuals. Foremost among them are the biochemist Michael Behe and mathematician William Dembski. Behe's major contribution was "Darwin's Black Box" (1996) and Dembski's was "The Design Inference" (1998). Their ideas have been promoted by the Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture, a conservative think-tank, and by one of the movement's founders, Phillip E. Johnson.

What you don't know about "those" people that are paid to help you mentally.
We do care…even if we don't want to care…we care.
We are taught to set boundaries and to limit our emotional investment with whom we are helping,
But…we are human…we care.
We are highly empathetic.
We walk in each morning knowing that no matter how great we feel, we will soon be feeling the pain that you have experienced.
We know that to feel what you are feeling, we must recall a past painful event of our own that can relate.
We don't leave work at work.
How do you turn your mind off to that kiddo that is learning how to live without his/her parent?
Or that young adult that desperately wants to quit the drugs and fights his urge and own cruel mind that tells him daily- "one more-you aren't worth anything anyways?"
We walk through doors in our home and can't help but immediately think about…
The person we know that has high anxiety around doors, because the doors in his home remind him of his daughter's suicide.
We hope and wonder
"Will he use the 4-square breathing tool we talked about today?"
We wonder…
"Will she really lock the gun up?" "I hope she does." "I will call tomorrow to follow up."
We wonder…
"We talked about saying something positive in the mirror- will she? Or will she continue to see the failure she THINKS she is because her father raped her."
We DO know that the tools we suggest are hard to follow
We fail at using them at times too
We care.
In the same mind that feels your pain, is the same mind that CAN'T WAIT to hear if the tools we've discussed worked, if the meds prescribed are working, or how your days are progressing,
To look at prior notes and see progress, hope and healing.
Or to ultimately hear…
Thank you…
We do care…even if we don't want to, we care.

23:45 - Goodnight one and all
Well that was a barnstorming to Matchday 5! Borussia Dortmund go joint-top of the league for the time being, but there are eight games left to be played, six of which take place tomorrow. The games are coming thick and fast - is there anything better! For now we'll close out proceedings for the night. We'll see you again tomorrow!
23:30 - Götze glowing after "emotional" night
"It was very emotional," said Götze, who made his first appearance for Dortmund, in Dortmund in 1,248 days. "It was a great feeling to come back into the team, and the reaction I got when I came off was really positive. I'm really happy as it was a great moment for me."
23:00 - Thomas Tuchel pleased
Talking after the game, Thomas Tuchel underline the importance of a performance like tonight's for his young side. "The experience of this game has come at exactly the right time for us," said the Dortmund head coach. "We're not focusing on the Real Madrid game, we're focusing on our development. It's from games like today that we grow."
Goal difference prevents Borussia Dortmund going top of the table overnight. Next up for BVB - a UEFA Champions League clash with Real Madrid CF! Stay here for all the reaction...
Game over. A lovely bit of combination play on the edge of the area sees Gonzalo Castro play in substitute Raphael Guerreiro who slams a left-footed effort across goal and into the far corner. Schwolow got fingertips to it, but it wasn't enough to keep the shot out.
76' - AUBAMEYANG...misses!
Just as I write that Dortmund should have restored their three goal lead. Aubameyang is played through and nicks the ball away from Schwolow, but with the Freiburg keeper stranded, the off-balance BVB striker can only fire wide.
75' - Life left in Freiburg
Pulling a goal back appears to have breathed new life into Freiburg. The visitors are seeking out their chances on the counter with Onur Bulut forcing Roman Bürki into action with a decent effort on the turn.
63' - Off the woodwork 2.0
Substitute Georg Niedermeier forces his own keeper into a reflex save with an attempted headed back pass. Aubameyang is onto the loose ball in a flash, but can only hit the post.
Dortmund fail to deal with a long clearance from Schwolow allowing Maximilian Philipp to battle his way past BVB's backline. One-on-one with Bürki the Freiburg striker makes no mistakes as he finds the bottom corner to pull one back for the visitors.
Dortmund double their lead. Lukasz Piszczek and Gonzalo Castro combine for a one-two. The pass is deflected but it falls kindly for the Pole who puts his foot through the ball to make it 2-0!
50' - Dembele desperate for a goal
Dembele laready has an assist to his name tonight, but stings the palms of Schwolow with a vicious strike having danced past his marker. the Frenchman is on fire tonight. A goal would be no less than he deserves.
We're back underway at the SIGNAL IDUNA PARK. Can Freiburg find a way back into the game?
Dortmund break the deadlock and it comes as no surprise the two players who made it happen. Dembele has been a handful all night and a lovely first touch takes him to the byline where he's able to slide the ball across the face of goal for Aubameyang to tap in.
40' - It's getting a bit heated
The chances have dried up for the time being as the challenges have been flying in at either end of the pitch. Castro and Aubameyang both fail to the find the target from free-kick situations.
23' - Off the woodwork
Emre Mor is looking lively and again gets a shot off from range the loops off the foot of his marker and onto the top of the bar.
20' - Dortmund knocking on the door
Dortmund have twice gone close in the last five minutes. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang almost capped his 100th Bundesliga appearances with a wonder goal, but despite beating Alexander Schwolow with a delightful chip, his effort failed to drop inside the post. Meanwhile, Emre Mor is given time and space to cut in field only to see his shot deflected behind for a corner.
15' - Dembele looking dangerous
Ousmane Dembele is having a lot of joy down the left flank up against Aleksandar Ignjovski. The French youngster has whipped in some dangerous crosses thus far and had Dortmund's only shot of goal of the opening exchanges.
3' - Grifo with a golden opportunity
One ball over the top and Vincenzo Grifo finds himself bearing down on goal with Dortmund's defenders trailing in his wake. However, his effort one-on-one with Roman Bürki is tame and the Swiss keeper makes a comfortable save.
We're underway at the SIGNAL IDUNA PARK as Borussia Dortmund play host to SC Freiburg.
19:40 - Line-ups
Ton up for Aubameyang, who makes his 100th appearance for Dortmund in the Bundesliga tonight. Here are who else will be taking to the field in under an hour's time:
19:09 - Auba to overtake Lewy?
We may only be four games into the season but the race to be top goalscorer has already assumed a familiar outlook, with Bayern's Lewandowski leading the charts on five goals. Hot on his heels is Dortmund's Aubameyang, who has four goals to his name so far but can steal a march on the Pole against Freiburg tonight. Will he do so? You'll have to wait and see!
18:43 - Sunset in Dortmund
The sun may be setting with the day drawing to a close in Dortmund, but the drama is yet to come. Just over 90 minutes away from kick-off now.
18:00 - A warm welcome
Meanwhile, Freiburg are appreciating this sign just outside SIGNAL IDUNA PARK, where they haven't beaten Dortmund since 21 October 2001!
Friendly welcome in Dortmund - are you already on your way?
17:45 - Cloudy with a chance of goals
An interesting tweet from Dortmund, explaining that they have only failed to score once in 32 meetings with Freiburg. And not a single one of those matches ended 0-0. Bodes well.
Read tonight's match preview here!
17:21 - Schmidt wary of Mainz
Bayer Leverkusen manager Roger Schmidt believes his side will face their toughest test of the season yet when they travel to in-form Mainz on Saturday. Die Werkself have already faced Borussia Mönchengladbach (1-2), Hamburger SV (3-1), Eintracht Frankfurt (1-2) and FC Augsburg (0-0), and they drew 2-2 with CSKA Moscow in the UEFA Champions League. However, Schmidt is boosted by the return of striker Stefan Kießling from injury.
17:00 - Carlo Ancelotti press conference
The FC Bayern München coach has confirmed that Manuel Neuer, Robert Lewandowski and Mats Hummels will start for the champions against Hamburger SV tomorrow. Jérôme Boateng and Arjen Robben will be on the bench. The Italian said he would decide on the rest of his line-up after today's final training session.
Check out the match preview here.
16:24 - Oczipka that one out!
Whilst you're waiting for tonight's action to get underway, why not enjoy some moments of magic from Matchday 4? A stunning drive from Eintracht Frankfurt's Bastian Oczipka has been voted Goal of the Week, edging out a fine individual effort from Borussia Dortmund's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Franck Ribery's mesmerising dribble for FC Bayern München, and team-mate Arjen Robben's fine strike on his long-awaited return from injury.
15:58 - Freiburg Friday?
Freiburg will be out to spoil Dortmund's party tonight, but Christian Streich's men didn't exactly have that Friday feeling a week ago today, when they were beaten 3-0 by in-form 1. FC Köln. Can they finally end BVB's 10-game winning streak against them in the Bundesliga?
Dortmund were bottom of the Bundesliga the last time these two sides met. Relive that game here.
15:32 - Dortmund feeling confident
We've got a little under five hours until the first game of Matchday 5 gets underway. Can free-scoring Borussia Dortmund make it 24 games unbeaten at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK?
14:54 - Gomez threat
SV Werder Bremen centre-back Niklas Moisander will hope to keep Mario Gomez quiet when VfL Wolfsburg visit the Weser Stadium in Saturday's late kick-off. The pair faced off in their time at UC Sampdoria and ACF Fiorentina respectively, and the Finland captain say the Germany striker is one of the best he has faced.
14:32 - Schuster press conference
FC Augsburg coach Dirk Schuster is expecting a tough test against his former employers. The 48-year-old enjoys hero status at SV Darmstadt 98, having steered the Hessen club back to the Bundesliga after a 33-year absence and masterminded their top-flight survival last term, and he thinks they can secure a third consecutive Bundesliga season...
13:25 - Kovac relishing Hertha reunion
Eintracht Frankfurt coach Niko Kovac is looking forward to the prospect of taking on his old side Hertha Berlin - coached by former team-mate Pal Dardai - on Saturday. The Croatian was born in the German capital, and had two spells as a player with the Old Lady, from 1991-1996 and 2003-2006. This is the first time he will face them as a coach. Both sides have had a strong start to the campaign, with three wins and a draw, so it ought to be a fascinating contest at the Commerzbank Arena.
Click here for the full match preview.
"Of course I'm looking forward to the game against Hertha. I played there for eight years, and I was born in Berlin."
13:08 - Gladbach's fortress
On 23 January 2016, Borussia Mönchengladbach lost 3-1 to Dortmund at BORUSSIA-PARK. Since then, it's been nine wins in nine Bundesliga home games for the Foals, who can make it ten on the bounce as they host FC Ingolstadt 04 on Saturday. Summer signing Tobias Strobl will miss out for Gladbach due to a hamstring injury, but they will still be feeling confident against an Ingolstadt side with just one point from their opening four matches.
Find the full match preview here.
12:50 - Mainz "need to stay grounded"
1. FSV Mainz 05 coach Martin Schmidt says his players need to keep their feet on the ground after Wednesday's stunning late win over SV Werder Bremen. The 05ers have made a solid start to the season, with seven points from four games. On Saturday, they'll try to keep up their good run against an out-of-sorts Bayer 04 Leverkusen, who have only picked up a single win so far.
Click here for a full match preview.
12:05 - Five out of five for Bayern?
There is of course plenty more action to come in the Bundesliga this weekend, starting with FC Bayern München's trip to Hamburger SV on Saturday. The champions have made their best ever start to a top-flight campaign (four wins from four, 14 goals scored, one conceded), and Hamburg look somewhat ill-equipped to deal with Carlo Ancelotti's Bavarian behemoth. They've taken just one point in four outings, their worst start to a season in five years.
Click here for a full match preview.
11:38 - Dortmund in eleventh heaven?
The head-to-head record between tonight's opponents doesn't make pretty reading for Freiburg fans. Dortmund have won their last ten Bundesliga meetings, stretching back to 2010. In fact, another win tonight and BVB will equal their club-record winning streak: 11 victories over KFC Uerdingen 05 between 1989 and 1996.
11:19 - No Bartra for Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund will have to do without Marc Bartra for tonight's game against SC Freiburg. The former FC Barcelona defender picked up a groin injury in Tuesday's 5-1 dismissal of VfL Wolfsburg. André Schürrle is also a doubt for Thomas Tuchel's side.
Freiburg coach Christian Streich could be tempted to start striker Nils Petersen at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK, after he scored the only goal in their 1-0 win over Hamburger SV in midweek.
Click here for full team news!
10:10 - He's still got it...
A year and a day ago, FC Bayern München hosted VfL Wolfsburg, with Robert Lewandowski on the bench. He came on at half-time, with Bayern trailing 1-0. Then this happened. The Poland striker already has five goals in the new Bundesliga campaign, leading the scoring charts ahead of old foe Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Anthony Modeste and Joel Pohjanpalo (all on four). The champions head to Hamburger SV on Saturday afternoon, and you can be sure Lewandowski will be looking to celebrate the anniversary of that memorable night against the Wolves.
09:38 - The Temple
Freiburg will be met with an intimidating atmosphere this evening. With a capacity of 81,360, the SIGNAL IDUNA PARK is the biggest stadium in Germany. Dortmund's home ground can host some 57,000 more than Freiburg's Schwarzald-Stadion.
Watch: Take a closer look at Dortmund's famous Yellow Wall:
9.00 - Guten Morgen
Hello and good morning. A hectic Englische Woche in the Bundesliga is bookended by Matchday 5, which sees Borussia Dortmund kick off proceedings at home to SC Freiburg on Friday night. Dortmund have scored some 13 league goals already this season. Can promoted Freiburg keep them out? Check out our in-depth preview by clicking HERE!
20:35 - Focus on: the title race
Victory against Freiburg could take Dortmund top of the standings, temporarily at least, ahead of defending champions FC Bayern München. Carlo Ancelotti's side, who extended their winning start to the season to seven matches in all competitions with a 3-0 stroll at home to Hertha Berlin, visit lowly Hamburger SV on Saturday afternoon.
19:30 - Dortmund bring the fear factor
Freiburg will be encouraged by their 1-0 win over Hamburger SV in midweek, but you can't help but worry for Christian Streich's side. BVB have scored 17 goals in their last three competitive matches alone, with five falling away to VfL Wolfsburg on Tuesday night.

We've got a couple new posters to share with you today. First up, the one-sheet for William Friedkin's (The Exorcist) black comedy Killer Joe has been unveiled. The film centers on a brother and sister (Emile Hirsch and Juno Temple) who hire a contract killer (Matthew McConaughey) to kill their mother in order to get the pay out from her life insurance policy. The cast for Killer Joe also includes Thomas Haden Church and Gina Gershon. The film will be featured at the upcoming Toronto Film Festival.
Also, we've got a new poster for Tucker & Dale vs. Evil. The horror comedy centers on a couple of rednecks who are mistaken for murderous hillbillies by a group of college kids. Things quickly go awry when they try to lend a hand to a girl who becomes separated from the group. Tucker & Dale vs. Evil stars Alan Tudyk, Tyler Labine, and Katrina Bowden, and is currently available VOD with a theatrical release September 30th. Hit the jump to check out the posters.
Here's the synopsis for Killer Joe:
When 22 year old drug dealer Chris (Hirsch) has his stash stolen by his mother, he has to come up with six thousand dollars quick or he's dead. Desperate, he turns to "Killer Joe" (McConaughey) when he finds out that his mother's life insurance policy is worth $50,000. Although Joe usually demands cash up front, he finds himself willing to bend the rules in exchange for Chris' attractive younger sister, Dottie (Temple), who will serve as sexual collateral until the money comes in…if it ever does.
This comic poster for Tucker & Dale was designed by Tony Moore.
Here's the synopsis for Tucker & Dale vs. Evil:
TUCKER & DALE VS. EVIL is a hilariously gory, good-spirited horror comedy, doing for killer rednecks what Shaun of the Dead did for zombies. Tucker and Dale are two best friends on vacation at their dilapidated mountain house, who are mistaken for murderous backwoods hillbillies by a group of obnoxious, preppy college kids. When one of the students gets separated from her friends, the boys try to lend a hand, but as the misunderstanding grows, so does the body count. TUCKER AND DALE VS EVIL has been a hit on the festival circuit, debuting at Sundance, and winning the Midnight Audience Award at SXSW, the Jury Prize for First Feature at Fantasia, the Best Director award at Fantaspoa, and the Best Motion Picture Award at Sitges.

Milt Jackson: Da Capo
"Baggy Eyes" and "Autumn Breeze (In A Beautiful Mood)" are the earliest tracks on offer here, dating from April of 1948. They catch Jackson at a time when he was still paying off his musical debt to Lionel Hampton, and that man's influence is perhaps most traceable in Jackson's ability to swing; even on the second title, that feeling prevails, despite the lyrical nature of the piece.
"Bag's Groove (Take Two)," from Christmas Eve of 1954, is maybe remarkable more for Miles Davis' solo than anything else; he offers up a blueprint for an awful lot of his work before he went electric. At the same time, it's clear just how much Chet Baker was copping from him in the early years of his career.
"The Nearness Of You," recorded in May of 1955 by a quartet under Jackson's leadership, reveals how effective he was as a ballad player; his unassuming elegance shows just what Lem Winchester was getting from his work within the decade. Both players knew the intrinsic value of understatement as a valuable tool for musical expression, a point borne out by Jackson's work on "The Song Is Ended," recorded in Los Angeles in February of 1956 in the company of guitarist Barney Kessel.
Viewed as individual packages, releases like this serve as useful overviews of a given musician's work, though of course the importance of that musician within the course of the music's history is a matter of conjecture. That said, Jackson was and is important in that respect, and there's ample evidence here showing why.
Track Listing
Baggy Eyes; Autumn Breeze; I
Milt Jackson: Vibes (1-16).

I saw big, white, billowy clouds in the June blue sky today. They were like giant soft stones, hovering above me, still and silent.
I wanted to take a picture, but I didn't think I could do them justice. A picture can't capture the essence of a cloud. A picture doesn't really capture anything does it? It lasts longer than a memory, but it's false. If I've ever been moved by the sight of a beautiful flower, and I mean moved almost to tears, if I took a picture of that flower, all of the emotion I felt for it was absent in the resulting photographic image.
I want to talk about beauty, because sometimes I think it is what matters most in life. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God's handwriting." Now, I'm not a practicing member of any religious sect, but I do believe that the universe didn't just come into existence for no reason. I see God and the universe (as we know it) as being one and the same. Every cloud, every flower, every tree, every animal, every natural thing spills from God's pen and fills our minds and souls (if souls exist) with what I think of as God.
I'm not sure if I put that as eloquently as I wanted, but words are like photos. They aren't enough to capture the essence of what we want to express. I'm compelled to keep trying, because I've read beautiful poetry and prose. I've been moved to tears by the words of skillful writers. When that happens to us, we become more than what we were before.
I don't think that human beings can create beauty. We are not God. We can't bring things into existence out of nothing. What we can do is illuminate beauty. We can describe it to others so that they might appreciate what we have experienced. When we do this we get a little closer to each other, and we perhaps find our own way to God, or to the universe if you like.

A Designed to Blossom participant wanted to know how deep she needed to go into her understanding of Human Design, in order to benefit from it.
This was my response:
Let me just say here that for me, the greatest gift of Human Design is a practical one. It offers people an everyday practice that can be deeply liberating.
When Human Design supports someone in spending less and less time in their mind (when making personal decisions), I know it's working. That said, when Human Design is studied more than practiced (which is easy, since it's such a vast, detailed and fascinating system), it has the potential to become a total mental quagmire.
There are those who genuinely 'respond' to or feel called to delve deeply into the system. Studying all of the layers beneath the Gates, or the PHS, or the DreamRave, or… can sincerely bring joy and aliveness into their lives, and a depth of understanding that can enhance the service they provide others (ie. It can totally enrich their Outer Authority). Some people are designed to swim in a sea of details and totally thrive there. Gotta love those people!
But my sense (just my sense, I'm sure there are others who think very differently) is that there aren't many people who are genuinely liberated (or practically helped) by a super deep level of study. Many people I know who've spent years studying tone, base, etc. have gotten caught in the quagmire, and their relationship with Human Design has become increasingly mental, dogmatic, nit-picky, narrow and relationally isolating (to the point where they can only hang out with people who can 'talk tone').
The other challenge when you go into those deeper layers is accuracy. The deeper you go into a design, the more accurate the birth time has to be in order for the information to be relevant.
That said, sometimes my intuition does lead me to want to look more deeply at someone's design. And I've gotten some real value and validation by learning about some of the deeper aspects of my own (color/motivation/PHS), and I know others who have as well. (Usually very simple statements or guidelines are enough to align me with my belly/intuition… and activate my own creative relationship to and use of the information I receive.)
But in terms of real usefulness, the simple things like practicing Strategy and Authority, and a psychologically sensitive understanding of one's relationship to conditioning, is usually all that is required to transform a life & free a person. Without that in place, the deeper studies can easily become a new, just more subtle source of conditioning… making people even more rule-based and heady when making decisions. (i.e. "I can't eat that because it's too light outside. I can't be your partner because our connection charts have too many Open Centers between them. I'm only here to impact strangers, so I'm not going to share about what I'm doing with my friends and family.")
Another piece for me: Richard Rudd is one of the Human Design enthusiasts (though his life has taken him in a new direction) who has infused a great deal of life, artistry and poetry into Human Design… And I love that about him. (Ra was a poet/musician as well, and had his own style of expression, which I also appreciated… but that came out more in his music than in his HD writing.)
But again, for me, the greatest gift of HD is practical, not poetic — although when I crave beauty, richness, cultural/spiritual/psychological/sociological depth, poetry in relation to the Gates, I consult the Gene Keys… (or Integral HD, which you might enjoy, as a resource for alternative ways of naming/describing aspects of Human Design).
For Astrology lovers:
In my experience, Human Design doesn't have the same potential — or perhaps purpose — as something as poetic, deep, rich, colorful, emotionally evocative and culturally quilted as Astrology.
In some ways, aspects of HD are inevitably going to have more of a generic or mechanical feel than something like Astrology — because the focus is more on capturing 'alignment' and 'operation' (the most aligned movement of energy) over 'content' & 'essence' (the energy itself). For ex., when one 'operates correctly', the rich, beautiful, poetic, unique content/essence of a being emerges just naturally.
In that sense, the bodygraph is much more helpful as an 'operating manual' (as much as I'm not a fan of that common description) or 'way-of-the-individual-Tao guide', than it is as a soul descriptor.
Human Design can help the soul live in a way that allows its greatest, most free expression. But if you want a juicy description of the soul, I'd encourage you to incorporate the Gene Keys and Astrology into your explorations!

Two men killed in an industrial accident
No signs of foul play
Howard County police are investigating an industrial accident in Ellicott City where two men working for a construction company died.
About 7:45 a.m. Saturday, emergency responders from the Howard County Police Department and Howard County Department of Fire and Rescue Services were dispatched to a construction site in the 9100 block of Father's Legacy.
Rolando Lopez Mendez, 31, of Silver Spring, and Erik Morales Ortiz, 31, of Hyattsville, were working at the site when they both were thrown from the bucket of a lift machine when it tipped on its side.
The men worked for Brothers Construction Framing Inc.
Upon arrival, police found both men on the ground suffering from significant injuries.
They were taken to Howard County General Hospital where they were pronounced dead a short time later.
It is unknown what caused the lift machine to tip over. A preliminary investigation indicates no signs of foul play.
The accident remains under investigation by the Howard County Police Department and the Maryland Occupational Safety and Health Agency (MOSHA).

 Below is a column I wrote for publication in Wednesday's N&R.
After receiving it, editorial head Allen Johnson called with some concerns about the content. He rightly pointed out that much of what I wrote is speculative in nature and that he was reticent to publish these speculations.
I told him I understood completely and that I was sorry didn't have the time to alter the submission or compose another column for this week's slot (my deadline was at noon). We agreed to let someone else have my slot this week and I will make another effort in two weeks' time.
All that said, I still wanted to get this out. Good thing I've got a weblog.  Here it is, in all of its speculative, non-professionally edited (and, now, hyperlinked) glory.
Back in April of 2006, my very first column in the N&R concerned itself with all of the investigations that, at the time, seemed to focus on the Greensboro police and how former police chief David Wray ran the department. I quoted from city councilman Tom Phillips who characterized what little information had been made public in those early months as being only, "…the tip of the iceberg�.
Boy howdy. When Tom is right… Tom is right. But my guess is that even he didn't know how expansive that iceberg might be at the time.
According to information from Greensboro's website, the state Attorney General reviewed the known information about what was going on in the GPD in March of 2006. That office saw enough at the time to "…initiate a criminal investigation and assignment of SBI resources.� So for at least 16 months, the SBI has been quietly going about its investigative business. How wide-ranging that investigation has become is anyone's guess, but I get the feeling that its not just about David Wray anymore.
As things were heating up during the months before his resignation in January of 2006, former chief Wray was asked to explain why certain investigations were being conducted across multi-jurisdictional lines and where they were headed. Not having the privilege of saying everything he wanted to say at the time, he famously stated that reporters should, "connect the dotsâ€? between what was known.ÂÂ
There weren't a lot of known dots for us to connect then, but two years later we appear to have plenty of them.ÂÂ
Dots are everywhere: Drug dealing dots. Check-kiting dots. Prostitution dots. Project Homestead-related dots. Even assassination-planning dots popped up when we read that certain characters were reported to be in the planning stages of doing in best-selling author Jerry Bledsoe.
Bledsoe's "Cops in Black & White� has been published in the Rhino Times nearly every week for a year now. The serial has brought us 'up close and personal' with the seamier side of Greensboro as he adds to the dots that just keep on coming. (Latest installment here)
Shortly after publication of Chapter 26 of Bledsoe's story back in March of this year, I ask the author how many more chapters we should expect before he finally lets his keyboard take a rest. His response was, "I should have sub-headed Chapter 26 as being the end of the story's prologue. I could go on for years.�
During what has been an almost complete black-out of new information emanating from city hall regarding all of the ongoing investigations, local blogs are trying to keep up with all of dots as they appear.
On Joe Gaurino's blog last week, former District Attorney candidate Wendell Sawyer speculated as to what is going on with all the disconcerting official silence since the SBI and FBI started delving into their own brand of dot connecting. Sawyer opined, "…the federal investigators are not handicapped by political considerations and the compulsion to rush to a conclusion of the investigation. Instead, the feds are patiently and quietly gathering evidence in this complicated puzzle. The same was true in the FBI investigation into the video poker/lottery/Jim Black scandals.�
Sawyer has a point. Although none of us really knows where these investigations will lead, the sheer length of time and resources being brought to bear leads me to believe that those agencies are going places that few outsiders ever expected.
In the current vacuum of information surrounding where all of this investigating is headed, all we can do is fill the void with what we know. And what we know is that with every new dot that appears through the efforts of those looking for and trying to speculate as to how they are connected, the depth and breadth of that iceberg Councilman Phillips predicted so long ago is still looming before us.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. (Ivanhoe Newswire) – HER2-positive breast cancer is more aggressive, grows faster, and is more likely to return.
That's why women who test positive for HER2 and their doctors are excited about a new drug that could cut the risk of cancer's return by a third.
Allison Landherr was diagnosed with stage three HER2-positive breast cancer when she was 39.
"All of a sudden, you have this cancer diagnosis, and you stop everything and just try to figure out how are you going to survive," Landherr told Ivanhoe.
She had surgery, chemo, radiation, and a year of Herceptin. She knew cancer returns for up to a quarter of patients after Herceptin. Then, her doctor told her about Nerlynx, a targeted therapy that works inside cancer cells and blocks growth signals from multiple pathways.
Linda D Bosserman, MD, FASCO, Medical Oncologist at City of Hope explained, "It irreversibly inactivates that and then downstream it can't signal, so that leads to in vivo, increased cell death."
Allison took six pills a day for a year. She also took medicine for diarrhea, the worst side effect.
"Truthfully, life went on as normal throughout the treatment," Landherr admitted.
Doctor Bosserman says Nerlynx may not make a big difference for women in stage one. But it significantly reduced recurrence for some women with more advanced cancer.
"For women with multiple nodes positive, estrogen positive, their risk can be up in that 30 percent range, and to lower that 34 percent is a profound benefit to women," Dr. Bosserman stated.
Allison stopped taking Nerlynx eight months ago, is cancer-free and looking ahead.
"I want to see my children thrive and become independent and see what the future holds for them," Landherr stated.
And she's looking forward to growing old with her husband.
Bosserman got Nerlynx for Allison by compassionate use from Puma Biomedical at City of Hope Hospital. The trial had officially ended by the time she needed it. The FDA has since approved the drug.

Arnold Schwarzenegger surprised himself by returning to movies as he thought he had left it all behind when he became a politician.
The former Governor of California thought he would never make another movie after his stint in politics but was shocked when he had ?the greatest time? on the sets of ?The Expendables? and ?The Expendables 2?.
He told BANG Showbiz: ?When I was governor I would visit movie sets to thank people for shooting in California because it?s good for the economy.
?One day Tom Cruise was filming and he was in a harness hanging upside down in a fight scene and I was saying, ?I?m so happy I don?t have to hang in this harness upside down doing this fight scene over and over! I?m happy being governor and I can?t even imagine doing that again.? And then a few years later after I said that that I?m on the movie set and I?m having the greatest time.?
Arnold believes coming back to work on first ?The Expendables? and then its sequel was perfect because he got to reunite with his fellow action heroes including Sylvester Stallone and Bruce Willis.
He explained: ?I think it was just the ideal movie to come back to, ?The Expendables?.
?First of all because it?s got the top action heroes, everyone works together? so it was a safer way to come back and so I was very fortunate, you know, it?s like, I did the first one and after that I was asked to come back to do something bigger and I had the best time from the time when we started filming all the way to the end and it was difficult for me to leave because I knew that those guys were going to have fun for a few more months and I?d have to leave to do my next project? so it was a perfect, perfect way to get into the movie business again.?

Everybody said one day to its friends " we should open a bar", I don't really know where it is coming from, probably this feeling of being able to have our own space that we could enjoy with ours friends, but in reality it didn't really work out!
However, we can still organise a cocktail space in our home, an enjoyable warm cosy space that you could personalise and thankfully for us the drink kart are reappearing in our home.
Here, is a list of drink trolleys that catches my eyes.
