Villa slipped into the bottom three for the fourth time this season when they were beaten 2-1 at Arsenal last weekend. But Villa manager Lambert insists his squad are in the right frame of mind for the challenges promised by the next 11 matches.
"The thing we'll see is the players are up for it, that is for sure. I don't see them being frightened or a lack of confidence or anything like that at all," Lambert said.
"I never get a sense on the training ground that it has been really down. I can't argue the last few weeks with the way they've been playing. They've given it a right good go. I've not sensed they are scared at all. They've got to embrace the challenge. I think if you go the other way you will get frightened by it and I don't think there is any reason to be frightened by it."
Lambert is determined that Villa will come through their current strife and enjoy a brighter future after three years of either flirting with or being directly involved in a relegation battle.
He said: "The club has been in and around it for three years. It's nothing new. But you have to look forward and think you are going to get out of it. You have to believe this is going to be a brand new dawn. It has to be, otherwise there's no point being here. You have to change it.
"You have to stay in the league, to keep believing what you are doing is right, keep focusing on your beliefs and I'll never deviate from that."
Lambert admits he is driven on by the challenge of managing in the Premier League rather than the financial incentives of being in the top flight.
He said: "I think the finances in the Premier League are vast and everyone wants to be in the Premier League. I don't now look at it and think you want to be in because of financial reasons but because it is the best league, the best stadia. Everything about the Premier League is fantastic."
When asked if players have contracts which are linked to being relegated, Lambert said: "Myself and Randy Lerner (club owner) speak all the time about things. I know exactly what's happened."

And what does this say about our society and the progress we are showing?

America has spoken, and after nearly 100 million votes, Kris Allen won in what has been the biggest upset in the history of American Idol.
Despite warnings that the show would run over, the show actually ran on time, and featured performances by the Top 13 contestants, along with established artists like KISS, Black Eyed Peas, Queen Latifah, Queen, Cyndi Lauper, Rod Stewart, and of course 2008 American Idol winner David Cook.
Adding to the fun for the night, Ryan handed out the brand new "Golden Idol Awards," to commemorate some of the more memorable auditions and performers:
Outstanding Male went to Nick Mitchell/Norman Gentile, who once again entertained us all with his rendition of "And I Am Telling You."
Best Attitude went to Katrina "Bikini Girl" Darrell, who showed up with newly augumented breasts, kissed Ryan, and got her chance to sing "Vision of Love," and was unexpectedly joined on stage by judge Kara DioGuardi, who at the end of the song ripped open her dress to reveal her own black bikini (and one helluva body!)
Outstanding Female went to contestant Tatiyana Nicole del Toro, who was cut in the wild card round. Despite Ryan's insistance that she remain in the audience and claim her trophy during the commercial, she still came up on stage, sang an acapella verson of "Saving All My Love For You," amid several attempts to take her off the stage. She kept escaping the guards, and was finally silenced when the band played the "commercial break" bumper and then cut to the commercial.
After nearly 100 million votes, and a record-breaking 264 million votes for the entire season, Kris came from being the underdog to the new American Idol. He was truly shocked, and actually thought Adam should have won. Still, he took his unexpected victory in stride, and sang his new single (which, thankfully, had been redone to save his voice) on the stage.
Congratulations, Kris! It couldn't have happened to a nicer, more humble guy!

The only editorializing I am going to do here is to say that I am feeling better about wearing jeans to church:
Meet 'Jesus in jeans' of 21st century
Published on Thu 14th May 2009 17:08:15
London, May 14 :
It's 21st century after all so why Jesus Christ should be left behind. A church in East Sussex has unveiled a new seven foot high statue of a modern day Jesus wearing jeans and a shirt.
Father David Buckley unveiled the 35,000-pound Marcus Cornish statue dubbed 'Jesus in jeans' at the Our Lady Immaculate and St Philip Neri Catholic church in Uckfield depicting Christ as a man of the 21st century.
In the statue Christ can be seen wearing jeans and a shirt billowing in the wind while his hair and beard are neatly and fashionably trimmed.
Cornish's sculpture was funded by money left by Winifred Gregory, 87, a member of the congregation who passed away in 2008, reports 'The Telegraph'.
Father Buckley said: "You are always looking for new ways to enrich people in the experience of Christianity and it is good people can be open-minded to appreciate it."
"On the continent you often encounter modern representations of Jesus but it is not so common over here. We wanted a figure of Christ not in suffering but dynamic and welcoming. We felt this design summed up the spirit and activity of Christ perfectly and I think it speaks for itself."
Cornish said: "The sculpture is simple and direct and I hope it sums up the feeling that Christ is always with us and that we are not to be afraid. His clothing is being blown vigorously to add the sense of him being alive and his strength in defying earthly cares. The clothing is loosely contemporary in order to connect Christ to his people now as much as to his past. I hope this sculpture will inspire and communicate in very human terms, reaching out and being relevant to both the congregation and local community."

The show opened with a sketch featuring the cast of Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian. Ben Stiller announces that Ryan has been injured in a "bikini waxing incident," and that he would introduce the show. The rest of the cast of Night joined Ben in announcing that the original American Idol desk will be added to the Smithsonian's collection.
The show opens in the usual way, and Ryan announces that 88 million votes were phoned and texted in.
There was no group number, due to the time spent at the "Hometown Heroes" events.
The Ford commercial featured the Top 3 signing "Break My Stride," and animated as comic book superheroes. One of the better ones this season.
Ryan announces that as a followup to Carrie Underwood's Idol Gives Back experience, R&B singer Alicia Keys has come to the show with a special announcement. Alicia is the Global Ambassador for the charitable organization Keep a Child Alive. Alicia introduces emerging artist Noah from Rwanda who is pursuing a dream of making an album of music that will raise funds to save children from HIV/AIDS.
Noah sings "I Am the World's Greatest," which he had learned in English just one week ago. Incredible!
After Noah's performance, Alicia announces that texting "Alive" to 90999 will donate $5 to the organization she represents, and charge $5 to a person's cellular phone bill.
Commercial break.
Ryan begins the buildup to the results by calling Danny Gokey to the stage.
Danny's Homecoming video montage plays. Danny has the opportunity to reunite with Jamar, his friend who had auditioned along with him, but who ended up being cut in the final stage of Hollywood week. Despite the time away from each other, the bromance is still alive and well.
After the video, Ryan recaps the songs Danny performed and the judges' comments. Danny is sent to the couch to relax, but no results have been announced yet.
Kris Allen is then called to the stage.
Kris' Homecoming video montage plays. Kris has a big family that obviously has a lot of love to share. His father has a hard time keeping in his emotions (you go, Dad!).
After the video, Ryan recaps the songs Kris performed and the judges' comments. Kris is also sent to the couch to relax, and still no results have been revealed.
Commercial break
Jordin Sparks, the winner of American Idol Season 6, performs her new single "Battlefield." Great song; a'ight performance. I'm still glad she--not Blake--won, though.
Commercial break
Ryan calls Adam to the stage. Adam had a "streaker" interrupt one of his performances, and he thought it was bizarre.
Adam's Homecoming video footage plays. He has probably the most unique homecoming, even performing at a Marine base (I'll skip the obvious "...looking for a few good men," jokes...). Adam's public persona is confident, and much more humble than one would think. He is actually overwhelmed by all the attention at one point.
After Adam's video, Ryan recaps his songs and the judges' comments.
After the commercial, things are obviously not ready on the main stage, because Ryan is talking with the contestants to stall for some time. Danny says he just wants to know the results, because the suspense is killing him. Ryan jokes that he has no control over the amount of delay.
Once things are ready, Ryan introduces Katy Perry, who sings her new single "Waking Up in Vegas." Katy has Adam's name embroidered on the back of her Elvis-inspired costume. The song is plenty bizarre, but not unexpected from Katy.
Commercial break.
Ryan has the Top Three in center stage, ready to hear the results.
Kris Allen is in the finale.
Adam is in the finale.
This means that
Danny Gokey
has been eliminated.
Despite this, I believe that Danny will most likely be signed, and given that he has finally broken through some of the walls that seemed to keep him from emerging as an artist, he will likely do very well. Just don't let him dance without some coaching. Maybe if Paula's contract isn't renewed, she will have a ready client...
Next week is the finale, and we will see who America chooses as its next American Idol. There were no previews of what the format for the final show will be. It will definitely be an hour, since Fox will be debuting Glee on that same night (yay!).

The problem with the stage was fixed, but the towers never spun all night. Probably a good thing...
A record 64 million votes were phoned and texted in last night.
Performances included the Top 4 with Slash, Paula Abdul, No Doubt, and Daughtry. All were incredible!
Ryan built the Top Three one person at a time.
Kris is safe.
Adam is safe.
Then, it was between Danny and Allison.
The journey ended for
Allison Iraheta.
Next week will be "Hometown Heroes," with the Top 3 going home to a huge celebration. Then, the competition will expand to each contestant singing one song of their choice and one song of the judges' choice.
Allison was truly incredible, and in my opinion, she deserved to move forward for at least one more week. Regardless of her being voted off tonight, she will likely be signed by the end of the Idol Tour, and she will have a bright future in front of her.

Update on the job search and my quest to get back into the workforce.
From Senator Arlen Specter to Virginia Foxx to the fact that a President Obama--and not a President McCain--will replace retiring U.S. Supreme Court Justice David Souter, it is not easy to be a Republican lately. The schism I predicted is happening sooner than I thought, and in a completely different way. This will be interesting to watch.

Indian Cuisine varies greatly depending on regional, cultural and religious influences, although there are a few traits uniting each region. One thing each region shares in common is the use of spices, with some dishes using upwards of ten different spices. Curry is another common thread found throughout India, with ingredients and consistency differing according to the region. The use of rice, and pulses or legumes such as lentils and peas is typical throughout the country.

Welcome to Rock Meadow Cellars
One evening while dining in the barn, six couples, brought together by a passion for tasting red wines and creating delicious cuisine, made the commitment to become respectable winemakers. Six years have passed since that fateful evening and we are quite pleased to be producing these hand-crafted wines.
We've hand-picked, hand-sorted, hand-pressed, and even stomped on a few clusters of flavor-filled grapes– all to the beat of a local rock station. As you open each bottle of Rock Meadow Wine feel the twelve other hands that have caressed this juice, making it the inviting and pleasurable experience that will linger with you until you open another and another and another.
We know you'll be drawn to our new label as it attracts attention while communicating our vision of Rock Meadow Winery…"enjoy sharing a bottle of Rock Meadow as it enhances any table and occasion whether casual or formal".
Rock on!
Bash in the Grass

When I was a little girl, manicures were simple. There were basically two options: Tinker Bell peel-off polish and the ever-popular "marker" manicure, customized with the hottest marker hues from my pencil box.
My, how manis have changed. From apps that help coordinate polish and clothing to nail polish subscription clubs, there's a whole new world of options for today's lacquer lovers.
Rent to own
The dress is borrowed from renttherunway.com. The bag is on loan from bagborroworsteal.com. And now, thanks to lacquerous.com, you can play with polish trends without ever actually owning a bottle. That's because Lacquerous members pay $18 per month to borrow three shades every 30 days from brands such as Chanel, Nars, Tom Ford and Butter London.
Keep in mind that, just like last week's manicure, this polish won't last forever. At the end of 30 days, polishes must be returned to Lacquerous, where, according to the company's website, bottles are inspected for "cleanliness and quality" before being shipped off to the next subscriber.
Unlimited use, however, is not an option. Borrowed lacquers are not to be used more than three times during each monthlong rental. No word on how many coats can be applied with each use.
If you don't share well with others, another option for a monthly dose of manicure inspiration is NailArtSociety.com. Similar to beauty subscription services such as Birchbox and Sample Society from Allure magazine, this nail-art subscription service delivers a monthly box full of products that are yours to keep ($9.95 per month). Each box contains four to six products such as nail-art embellishments, spikes, studs, sticker decals, nail-art brushes and charms.
Technology for your 10 tips
China Glaze and its must-have manicure app, which is free for iPhone, iPad and iPod, makes it possible to snap a quick picture of your outfit, your shoes or even your cocktail and find a complementary hue of China Glaze polish. Another app, called Nailstagram, organizes and tags Instagram pictures for aficionados in search of inspiration. Those who love nail art but don't have it mastered will adore a free app called Nail Designs, which offers tutorials and video how-tos that can be done in 10 minutes or less. Which makes moving beyond a one color manicure into something more creative so easy, even Tinker Bell would call it magic.

South Beach Disc Golf Work Party, Sept 15-16 – All Invited!!
Lincoln County's new disc golf course in South Beach is nearing a reality. Paperwork has been signed, basket sponsors have stepped up, funding has been approved, and now Central Lincoln Leadership Cohort 2 invites you to join in the fun part.
A Work Party, open to the public, will take place on Saturday and Sunday, September 15 and 16, from 8 a.m. to around 2 p.m. both days. The location is on wooded Wilder property across from the entrance to the Central Coast Community College in the South Beach area of Newport. Directions: Head east on SE 42nd Street. Park in the Community College parking lot, or anywhere nearby along the road.
A crew of participants from the Ford Family Foundation Leadership Class and assorted volunteers have already spent one glorious weekend taking out their aggressions by downing a few selected trees, clearing shrubs, building staircases, and starting to create paths to each of the 18 holes. Now the real fun begins as basket preparation sites are cleared and developed. If you have them, bring work gloves, insect repellent, pruners, machete, clippers, brush hog, weed-eaters, loppers, chain saws. If you prefer a more sedate job, there's plenty to do, including volunteer registration tasks, food setup, delivery of snacks to workers in the woods. Food and beverages will be provided.
Disc golf resembles traditional golf, but the players throw Frisbee discs instead of hitting balls. A disc course has tee boxes, fairways and greens, and players aim to get their disc in a metal basket using as few tosses as possible. Different weight discs serve as drivers, mid-range, and putters, and a basic set of three discs generally costs under $25. When the Wilder Disc Golf Course in South Beach opens, admission will be free to everyone. Families and youth are especially encouraged to play the course.
Landscape conservation and community collaboration are top priorities for this project. Site design and preparation have been carefully planned to retain the forested setting. And Will Emery and Bonnie Serkin, owners of the Wilder Development property on which the disc golf course is situated, have signed an agreement with the City of Newport. In this private-public partnership, management and maintenance of the course will be handled through the City's Parks and Recreation Department.
Get involved. Have some fun. Help the community!
Pre-registration for the Work Party is not required. Just show up. For additional information, contact Alma Baxter: 503-812-2016 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Flyers have concluded their first round of negotiations with goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov and agent Ritch Winter, and the bad news is there is no deal. The good news is that there will be new talks next week.
"We have spoken with Ilya and his agent Ritch Winter about many different scenarios," Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren said in a statement. "As for now, we both know each other's position and have agreed to speak again next week. There will be no further comment at this time."
With July 1 being the start date to the free agent period, there's still time to get a deal done. But with the draft coming up next weekend, it would be ideal to have an agreement with Bryzgalov in place before teams start making selections. That's because, in order to sign Bryzgalov, the Flyers will likely need to move a big contract such as the one held by Jeff Carter.
Moving Carter or whoever before the draft will ensure the team receives back the most value right now and will make it much easier to come to terms with Bryzgalov before the 30 year-old goaltender hits free agency. If a deal is struck with Bryzgalov before a trade is made, other teams will squeeze the Flyers since leverage will be lopsided in favor of the other teams who would then know that the Flyers will have to make a trade in order to comply with the requirements of the salary cap.
Either way, the Flyers will have to wait until June 30 to announce any deal with Bryzgalov since that is the day the official 2011-2012 salary cap figures will be announced. They need to see just how much room they will have to work with going forward, knowing that a contract for Bryzgalov can't chew up every cent since room needs to be left for future transactions, especially for injury insurance.
But regardless of how it plays out, the Flyers will need to do whatever it takes to sign Bryzgalov. If that means taking less value for Carter than they could ultimately get, so be it. With the spectre of goalie uncertainty suffocating this team for many, many years, the chance to add a legitimate difference-maker between the pipes, a player in the prime of his career at a position of critical importance both to the Flyers and to hockey teams in general, is something the Flyers need to make sure they don't pass up.

Adam started the blame game, and we still play it well. "God, it's the woman you gave me" is a difficult attitude to escape. Pointing the finger at the other person is far easier than accepting responsibility.
It's OK to be wrong, to make mistakes, to fail. It doesn't mean that I am a mistake or a failure. We have to separate the action from the person. It is far more important to be happy than to be "right," I learned in recovery. You don't have to have a mentor to understand the defining moments in your life, but mentoring provides counsel and wisdom that enable you to see your purpose, broadens your choices, and strengthens your character to be all who you are meant to become. It is a two-way relationship that creates a roadway where the older and wiser passes life lessons on to the younger and ignorant. We're talking about a worthwhile friendship that is meant to last a lifetime and leave a legacy of eternal value. Both parties benefit.
Your destiny is what is meant to be. Your purpose is the intent or determination of your heart. Meaning is the message. It is the significance of or reason behind your goal. Your goal is the target or task set before you. It is dependent upon your destiny, purpose, and meaning.
Joy's destiny is heaven; her purpose is to help people who hurt. Her meaning for living is Jesus, and her goal is to counsel those in need of her gift of encouragement. My destiny is Heaven; my purpose is to use my gift of encouragement. My meaning for living is to have fellowship with God in Jesus, and my goal is to use my gift in any capacity. I wake up with purpose every day and see significance in everything that happens and what God places before me.
In my capacity as wife and mom, I am loving, encouraging, supporting, and speaking life into the situation. I am not perfect. I can just as easily cross over into an unsightly space if I don't take care of myself.

New Case With A Backup Battery And AN Unlocked SIM Slot
An iPhone case has been released by Vooma with a backup battery and, on top of it, an unlocked SIM slot. However, its conditional, the case works with a jailbreak-only app that imitates the in-built phone app to allow calls through the external SIM.
A mini-SIM card is fit in the case, not the micro-SIM that fits in the iPhone 4 and 4S. Moreover, since the data mostly goes through the SIM card built-in the iPhone, the external SIM could be used for only voice calls.
A pre-release version was tried by John Biggs from TechCrunch and he got impressed by the results:
"Once it's set up the Peel PG92 works seamlessly and even uses a similar interface to Apple's own dialer – although it's clear that the programmers had to cut a few corners to get the look and feel correct. For example, the dialing screen is actually a bitmapped copy of the original dialer and the letters and numbers are slightly warped. However, all of the major functionality is recreated in the Vooma app. However, this is clearly a very cool and clever hack and it works without problems on any jailbroken iPhone."

Reviewed by Irene Scobbie in SBR 2005:1
English Translation: The Cruel Stars of the Night, translated by Ebba Segerberg. St Martin's Press, 2008. ISBN 9780312366681.
This is Kjell Eriksson's sixth detective story to feature Detective Inspector Ann Lindell and her Uppsala colleagues, and as with the previous novels it is a combination of police procedural and psychological study. Dr. Hindersten, an egocentric and embittered academic, is reported missing by his 35-year-old daughter Laura. Shortly afterwards Petrus Blomgren, Jan-Elis Andersson and Carl-Henrik Palmblad, three elderly men living alone in isolated hamlets, are all found battered to death. The police don't believe in coincidence, but struggle to find any common theme. Blomgren once spent a holiday in Mallorca but otherwise never left home. He was popular, had little money and most of what he had he bequeathed to charity. Andersson was more affluent, but his beneficiaries, a niece and her husband, live in Umeå and his son-in-law is confined to a wheelchair. Palmgren owns an outstanding hunter, but financially his son-in-law had helped him out, not the reverse. The investigating team are not wholly convinced when a chess enthusiast discerns an ingenious plot. Blomgren and Andersson were peasants and Palmgren a horseman. This connects with a Spanish chess ploy where a player sacrificed two pawns and a knight in order to take his opponent's queen. (A translator will have fun dealing with this. The Swedish for pawn is bonde, i.e. peasant, and the knight is a riddare.) Queen Silvia is due to attend a ceremony in Uppsala, and she would seem to be in danger. In the end it is Ann Lindell who finds a photograph, which, she knows intuitively, will help unravel the mystery. Following up the lead she forgets to keep her colleagues informed of her whereabouts and in an exciting finish puts her life at risk. The novel is good on characterization. One of the main figures, Laura Hindersten, is a study in mind disorder. When she becomes infatuated by a henpecked married man the result is both awful and (intentionally?) funny as the poor man is physically attacked by his wife when he tells her he is leaving, and then by Laura when he tells her he has changed his mind. The police too are well portrayed. We are spared the picture of the cynical, hard-boiled cop and are presented with a group of mostly sympathetic people who care for the society they are defending. As with his other novels, and indeed with the best of modern Swedish detective fiction, Eriksson reflects aspects of modern Swedish society. Ann Lindell, for instance, a single mother, has difficulty juggling with her job and caring for her young son. The sadness of a small, dying community, meanwhile, is caught poignantly in the death of Petrus Blomgren. His old neighbour Dorotea Svahn, left almost alone in their isolated hamlet, is reminiscent of the elderly characters in Stig Claesson's Vem älskar Yngve Frej (translated as Ancient Monuments).

Kid Rock won't be charged with battery following his shocking brawl at the Video Music Awards with Tommy Lee.
An official from the Clark County District Attorney's Office tells "Extra" today that they won't pursue charges against Kid, real name Robert Ritchie. Chief Deputy District Attorney Ron Bloxham says, "It should be noted that Tommy Lee has requested that there be no prosecution relating to the incident and there were no injuries to either person."
Kid and Tommy shocked the audience at the MTV ceremony in September when they began throwing punches in the middle of the show. Lee was eventually dragged out by security, and Las Vegas police cited Kid for misdemeanor battery.
Both were once married to Pamela Anderson.

Barrington Foreclosures
Barrington is a suburban, residential town in Bristol County, Rhode Island located approximately 7 miles (11 km) southeast of Providence. It was founded by Congregationalist separatists from Swansea, Massachusetts and incorporated in 1717.
Barrington was ceded to Rhode Island and merged into Warren in 1747, though it was later made into a separate town by the Rhode Island legislature. It was a sparsely developed, agricultural community until the arrival of brickmaking companies in the 1850s, which employed large numbers of French-Canadians and Italians. The construction of a railroad to Providence in 1855 further contributed to suburban development, attracting residents of neighboring urban areas and contributing to the development of manufacturing industries. The post-World War II baby boom increased suburbanization trends, resulting in a large population increase.
Schools were constructed throughout the 1950s to accommodate this population. Three Barrington schools are National Blue Ribbon Schools, and its high school was ranked No. 189 in the United States by Newsweek in 2019. Money noted the appeal of Barrington's high test scores and relative affordability, naming it one of the best places to live in the United States.
Historical sites provide examples of architectural and suburban development during various stages of the town's history, including the Allen-West House, Barrington Civic Center Historic District, and O'Bannon Mill.

Skip to 0 minutes and 11 seconds The coins in the shove ha'penny game definitely accelerated. We'll find out that they were subjected to an impulse that changed their momentum. These words all started with ideas from Sir Isaac Newton. In his famous second law of motion, Sir Isaac explained that forces produce acceleration.
Skip to 0 minutes and 37 seconds Law two, the change of motion is proportional to the motive force impressed, and is made in the direction of the right line in which that forces is impressed. That's Motte's translation revised by Cajori. Even after translation from the Latin, his words are unfamiliar to us now, but the concepts carry over. Motion is, mass times velocity. Change of motion would be mv2 minus mv1. And motive force impressed would be force times time. So f times t equals mv2 minus mv1, where the change in v is in the same direction as F. Here's a simple example. It has straight line motion and constant force. If it didn't, we'd need calculus.
Skip to 1 minute and 34 seconds The math starts at speed v1, and is acted on by a constant force F. t seconds later, it is traveling at speed v2. We can describe this by F times t equals mv2 minus mv1. We call this the impulse-momentum relationship. Now, we'll see how it relates to acceleration. mv is momentum, Ft is an impulse. Because we specified that it all happens in a straight line, and the force is constant, we can rearrange this as F equals m times v2 minus v1 all divided by the time t. Remember, if the force or direction varies, we need to use calculus, but for our conditions, this is not necessary.
Skip to 2 minutes and 28 seconds We can write v2 minus v1 all divided by t is the rate of change in velocity with time, which is acceleration a. So we get F equals ma, a very famous equation, often called Newton's second law. Now, how can this help us understand shove ha'penny. Well, the shove the player gives a coin can be described as an impulse, that's force times time. This creates a change in velocity from zero. Friction on the board will bring the coin to a halt, just like rolling resistance stopped the toy tractor.
Skip to 3 minutes and 14 seconds We could calculate this from F equals ma, and a few other equations that relate acceleration, velocity, and displacement. A skilled player will calibrate the impulse to bring the corn between the required lines. A player might cause one coin to hit another, to move it into a scoring position. Impulse-momentum can analyse this too. If it is a direct hit, it is called direct central impact. If it is a glancing hit, it is called oblique central impact.
Skip to 3 minutes and 52 seconds We won't take this any further here, but if you would like to learn more about it, see the adaptive tutorial on impulse-momentum. And if you can't wait to learn about acceleration and Newton's second law, try the adaptive tutorial on projectile motion. Then it will be time for you to review where we've come from.
Analysis: Impulse-momentum
Newton's second law takes us into Dynamics.
You might be surprised to find out what he actually said – in Latin. But whatever the language it can help us understand our pub game.
Talking points
- Why is it that professors of particle physics are not necessarily the most successful players of games such as billiards, pool and shove ha'penny?

Oribe is the newest addition to my post-wash routine, specifically, Oribe Featherbalm Weightless Styler. It smoothes, hydrates and offers a bit of hold to my at-home blowdry. Oribe is known for an array of effective and covetable hair products that include shampoo, conditioner, styling products, hair tools and lately, colour cosmetics. Oribe Canales, the namesake founder of the brand, along with his two counterparts and industry stalwarts, Daniel Caner and Tev Finger, are the masters behind this brand that's a mainstay at fashion weeks and on sets.
As much as I love having my hair blow dried at the salon, most of the time I do it myself at home. Admittedly, with my hair texture, it's quite a task. It's been about five years since I last did a relaxer. Once I stopped doing relaxer, I attempted to go completely natural but quickly realised that that was not for me at all. After a long chat with my hairstylist, she suggested a natural keratin treatment which would smooth my hair and make it much more manageable. And so, my naturally curly hair is indeed much more manageable with the natural keratin treatment, but I still dread washing it. As a result, I needed a product that would make my at-home blow dry easier to do, give the blow dry some lasting power, while offering a professional looking finish.
To use, I apply the Oribe Featherbalm Weightless Styler after I've dabbed all the excess water from my hair with a cotton t-shirt and sectioned my hair into four. With the styler in my hair, blow-drying each section is worlds easier to do. For my head size (yes, I can still hear my younger sister calling me "big-head"), hair texture, and length, I use a full teaspoon and a half of product. The styler is especially good for fine to medium, porous, colour-treated and keratin treated hair, which describes my hair fully. In addition, the styler offers UV protection, a factor that is so important for hair and still widely overlooked. Using this, my at-home blow-dry lasts about six days with the strands remaining straight although my roots become a little kinky by the fourth day.
The texture of Oribe Featherbalm Weightless Styler is creamy and light and as with all Oribe products, it has a beautiful scent that was created by one of the biggest fragrance houses in the industry. Plus, the styler can also be used on dry hair for hydration and control. The bottle has 3.4 ounces of product, but the real drawback may be the price. Yet, comparing the cost of a salon blowout to the cost of this product which can be used at home numerous times over, it's a good investment. Oribe creates formulas that harness 'skin care technologies' to develop hair care products that are high on performance and are a pleasure to use. Plus, nasties such as ammonia and silicones are left out.
The one time you get to be a Master Colourist
I've learned that no matter what they say on the box or what friends tell each other, colour is best left to the professionals. However, there is an exception for what you can do between visits to your colourist. That exception is in the form of Christophe Robin Shade Variation Care. Christophe Robin has cultivated a superb reputation centred on his mastery of colour. Starting from the age of fifteen, the French-born Robin began his career as an apprentice and then went on to work on some of the biggest names in the worlds of film and fashion. As an aside, one of those film names is the legendary Catherine Deneuve who was perfect in the film Belle de Jour. I am obsessed with Deneuve's wardrobe in the film, (done by Yves Saint Laurent) and hope that one day I can see even a few pieces in a museum somewhere. Christophe Robin is not old enough to have worked on the film Belle de Jour, but he has since become Deneuve's colourist of choice. His expertise remains sought-after and his line of products allow us amateurs to bring home some of the tools of his trade.
I'm in my forties now but I've been going grey since my twenties. Therefore I'm in a constant race to cover the grey, especially since it likes to congregate right on my hairline. As it's not viable for me to go to the salon every week, it's a never-ending race to beat the greys. I urgently needed to find a way to touch up my colour effectively, without buying boxes of hair colour or root touch-up brushes. After an extensive search, I came across Christophe Robin Shade Variation Care, which is a hair mask that infuses hair with colour, deeply hydrates the hair and helps to make strands less porous.
Christophe Robin Shade Variation Care comes in five shades and the idea is to choose the one nearest to your existing colour. The shades are Baby Blonde, Golden Blonde, Chic Copper, Warm Chestnut and Ash Brown. I use Warm Chestnut which is closest to my hair colour at the moment. The mask can be left on for five minutes or up to thirty minutes for more intense colour and hydration. The colour washes out in about three to five shampoos and can be used weekly or more depending on your hairs' needs. In addition, it unifies pigments in the hair as hair colour tends to oxidise over time. So this product really is quite innovative and offers two actions in one jar.
Unlike conventional hair colour, the scent is neither strong nor industrial. The formula is infused with hydrating agents such as almond butter and buriti oil. Buriti oil serves a multitude of purposes which includes strengthening and protecting the hair and can also be used in hot-oil treatments. I also notice that the Christophe Robin Shade Variation Care helps to refine the texture of my hair by keeping it smooth and by increasing its softness and manageability. This is the niftiest product I've found so far that offers this level of colour care. It is second to none and really a much better alternative to stockpiling boxes of hair colour. It does a solid job of covering my greys when left on for thirty minutes, enlivens and enhances my colour by making my hair shiny until the next salon visit and overall, keeps my hair looking healthy.

Google searches point to economic recovery (and a Kayne West obsession)
Talking to the Washington Post while in D.C. to convince the government of the power of search, Varin pointed to the decrease in searches for information about unemployment in March. According to Google, the search giant's popularity and massive data mining efforts give it the power to see "snapshots of consumer sentiment" well before the government.
While it's an interesting way to look for an economic recovery, basing a complex prediction on the search trends of the American public has to leave a little room for interpretation. For example a current look at Google Trends which Hal references as a tool to use for gauging economic recovery reveals another picture.
On September 14, a year after the economy performed a Sumo-size bellyflop, the most popular searches on Google are:
- Kayne West and Taylor Swift VMA
- Halloween costumes
- Lady Gaga Hermaphrodite pictures
- Jay Leno
- Michael Jordan
- Kate Gosselin
- Serena Williams outburst
It will be interesting to see if Google searches can predict an economic recovery and provide the government with a better pulse of the nation's sentiment. Sadly, when I asked Varin if the Google could predict whether healthcare reform would pass he simply replied, "I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that"

Kids Activity Survival Kit
You may have to leave your house during a disaster and may sleep somewhere else for a while. It is smart to put together your own Kid's Activity Survival Kit so you will have things to do and share with other kids. These can all be stored in a backpack or duffel bag. Just make sure you can carry it easily.
Some suggested items for the Kids Activity Survival Kit:
- A factual book about disasters (earthquakes, hurricanes and tornadoes, rain, storms, floods and fires)
- A few favorite general books, which encourage comfort
- Non-toxic marking pens, crayons, pencils, and plenty of paper
- Scissors and glue
- Manipulative toys such as LEGOS
- 2 favorite small toys; a doll, action figure or stuffed animal
- 1 or 2 board games, puzzles
- Favorite blanket and/or pillow
- Picture of the family, including pets; write names on the back
- "Keep safe" box with a few of your child's special treasures
Note to Parents
Parents need to make sure to have at least three phone numbers of nearest kin in the United States. This information should be given and kept on file with the school and the Washoe County MRC.
Parents should train their children to know the full name of each parent and the rest of the family members.

Information Notice No. 88-32: Prompt Reporting to NRC of Significant Incidents Involving Radioactive Material
UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION OFFICE OF NUCLEAR MATERIAL SAFETY AND SAFEGUARDS WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555 May 25, 1988 Information Notice No. 88-32: PROMPT REPORTING TO NRC OF SIGNIFICANT INCIDENTS INVOLVING RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL Addressees: All NRC material licensees. Purpose: This notice is to emphasize the importance of prompt reports to NRC of signi- ficant incidents involving licensed radioactive materials, as required by 10 CFR Sections 20.402 and 20.403. It is expected that licensees will review this notice, distribute it to responsible radiation safety staff, and consider actions, as appropriate, to assure that NRC receives prompt notification of such incidents. However, this information notice does not constitute new NRC requirements, and no written response is required. Description of Circumstances: Title 10 CFR Sections 20.402 and 20.403 require certain incidents involving licensed radioactive material to be promptly reported to NRC. The most significant incidents must be reported immediately, and others must be reported within 24 hours. The types of incidents to be reported are radiation overexposures, excessive releases of radioactive material, loss of facility operations exceeding one day, damage to property exceeding $2000, and loss or theft of significant quantities of radioactive material. One case involved a 1986 contamination incident at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. Radiation workers in a radioactive waste storage building opened a package containing americium-241, and inadvertently spread contami- nation within the building. The event was not initially reported to the NRC. When the licensee's staff initiated decontamination efforts, the contamination got worse. The event was not reported to NRC for eight days, and the initial report did not adequately describe the extent of the contamination. NRC was not fully informed of the seriousness of the contamination until 27 days later, when reports were received from third parties, and inspectors were dispatched to the site. Clean-up efforts eventually required several weeks and cost several hundred thousand dollars. 8805200295 . IN 88-32 May 25, 1988 Page 2 of 2 Other incidents which have not been promptly reported to the NRC have included a serious fire which damaged a device containing radioactive material, and losses of gauges containing radioactive material. Discussion: It is important that significant incidents involving licensed radioactive material be promptly reported to NRC in accordance with 10 CFR Sections 20.402 and 20.403. Incidents should be reported to the NRC Operations Center, which is staffed 24 hours-per-day, at telephone number 202-951-0550. It is important that NRC receive such prompt notifications so that we can immediately determine the need for appropriate emergency actions to protect the public health and safety. Violations involving the failure to report incidents promptly could result in escalated enforcement actions from NRC. It is suggested that licensees carefully review the requirements of 10 CFR Sections 20.402 and 20.403. In particular, incidents involving loss or theft of radioactive materials, fires which damage devices containing radioactive material, or contamination incidents which cause loss of use of facilities or devices, or require expensive clean-up, should be promptly evaluated as to whether they must be promptly reported to NRC. In some cases, failure to report incidents to NRC may have been due to licensees' misinterpretation of the requirements of 10 CFR Part 20. The NRC staff is reviewing 10 CFR Sections 20.402 and 20.403, and will make clarifying amendments as appropriate. No written response is required by this notice. If you have any questions regarding this information notice, please contact the appropriate NRC Regional Office or this office. Richard E.

Across the land
Looking out at the sea
Is where we will live one day
Just you and me.
We'll wake in the mornings
Have coffee on the balcony
Enjoying the peacefulness
Just you and me.
We will stroll along the beach
Taking in the serenity
My hand clasped around yours
Just you and me.
Our days spent reminiscing
Of how life used to be
Before we decided to move out here
Just you and me.
We'll talk about the children
And new additions to our family
Proud parents they have made us
Just you and me.
We might shed a tear or two
Remembering those now playing absentee
But we will console each other
Just you and me.
We'll talk and we will laugh
We'll hold each other as we gaze silently
Making fond new memories
Just you and me.
We will live out our days here
We'll keep one another happy
Our love gaining strength every moment
Together till the end… just you and me.

Antoine Volodine in the Paris Review
It's been a nice couple of months for Antoine Volodine, publicity-wise. First, he had this long essay appear in The New Inquiry. Then Music & Literature honored the publication of Post-Exoticism in Ten Lessons, Lesson Eleven with a week of Volodine-related content.
And now, the Paris Review has an interview with Volodine conducted by two of his translators, J. T. Mahany and Jeffrey Zuckerman.
There are so many quotable parts from this interview . . . First, for anyone unfamiliar with "post-exoticism" here's a clip from Volodine's explanation of the origin of the term:
Twenty-five years ago, a reporter at Le Nouvel Observateur asked in which literary category you would place your work, and you responded that it was outside and beyond the conventional categories of existing literature. The question prompted you to invent the nearly nonsensical phrase "post-exoticism." But eight years later, the phrase had taken on some significance, enough that you published a book around it, Post-Exoticism in Ten Lessons, Lesson Eleven. Since then, has "post-exoticism" come to mean something different for you?
I'd like to start by correcting an error I made. I attributed this question to a Nouvel Observateur reporter. It actually came from a reporter for Le Point in July 1991. Our conversation was exactly this—"What genre do you prefer to be classified in?" "Anarcho-fantastic post-exoticism." It was a somewhat irreverent wisecrack, but it was a way, at the time, to confirm that I didn't belong either to science fiction, the genre in which my first four books had been classified, or to highbrow French avant-garde literature, which Éditions de Minuit, my publisher at the time, often published. I took the opportunity of the interview to proclaim this break, which seemed evident to me but which literary critics had had trouble taking into account. They hid for far too long behind the adjective unclassifiable, which I can still find in numerous publications today.
I knew at the time that I was writing a literature distinct from the main literary trends all around me. In particular, I didn't feel attached in the least to contemporary French literature, with all that implied about traditions, schools, and debates. I was steeped in translated literature, mainly from South America, the Anglophone world, Russia, and Japan. I knew French literature well, but I placed it among the others and not as an inescapable and necessary literary mold. Starting with the publication of my first book, I completely abandoned France's cultural heritage and went independently and alone down a path that, in a way, had come from nowhere and went nowhere. "From nowhere, to nowhere"—this phrase nicely defines the literary process of post-exoticism, and I've reused it many times in clarifying or explaining it. Even in my first books, post-exoticism existed with its idiosyncrasies, its refusal to belong to the mainstream, its marginalized characters, its revolts, and its murky narrators. And behind this narration was a narrative background, a "backfiction," guided by exterior and manipulative voices.
The next Volodine book that we're publishing is Bardo or Not Bardo, a book made up of seven overlapping vignettes, all revolving around the Tibetan Book of the Dead and mostly taking place in the Bardo, or space that exists after life and before rebirth. Despite the seriousness of the setting—every chapter includes a person's death, and most their journey through the afterlife—it's actually a really funny book, with characters fucking up all over the place, both purposefully (one character decides to sleep away his 49-day journey through the Bardo) and accidentally (a different character reads a Tibetan cookbook into the ear of his deceased friend instead of the Book of the Dead).
Since I just read that, I also really like this part of the Paris Review interview:
You also talk about the Bardo Thödol, the Tibetan Book of the Dead, being the only non-post-exotic text shared among the various prison cells in which the writers are detained. That book's realm, the Bardo, in which many of your writers and characters exist, isn't necessarily the space of dreams, but the space between life and death, right?
We love the Bardo Thödol, which describes the floating world that follows death. Although we don't appropriate its religious folklore or mystique, we see in it an immense poetic space. Our characters are quite often dead from the first page of the books in which they appear, which is why they cross the fiction like the dead cross the undefined space-time that follows their mortal passing. In theory, after death one enters the Bardo, where there is no longer calm or agitation, up or down, hot or cold, reality or dream, memory or invention. Opposites cancel each other out. It's extremely exciting to build a fiction on this, particularly when there is also no longer I or you, male or female, narrator or character, or even reader or author. And since we are very open to the notion of compassion, this allows us to enter into the closest possible intimacy with our characters and share their thoughts, ramblings, and pain.
According to the Book of the Dead, the deceased's walk through the Bardo lasts seven weeks and forty-nine days and ends either with enlightenment or rebirth. In post-exotic fiction, time is no longer measured, and characters often walk much longer through the fiction's Bardic space. In Terminus radieux, this journey lasts hundreds of years, during which everyone mentally diminishes, loses language and intelligence little by little. They walk not toward rebirth but extinction. And they attain neither. The post-exotic Bardo seems to stray enormously from the Bardo described by Tibetan monks. In any case, for us, it's a magnificent and inexhaustible reference.
Speaking of Terminus radieux, that's the third Volodine book Open Letter is planning to bring out. It's still a couple years off in the future (Jeffrey Zuckerman is translating it now, but it's a 600-page book, so . . . ) but it opens with three characters "heading toward the hot center of a nuclear disaster zone, as in Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker." I can not wait!
Volodine is slowly building a nice oeuvre in English translation, with six titles already available: Minor Angels, Writers, Naming the Jungle, Post-Exoticism in Ten Lessons, Lesson Eleven, We Monks & Soldiers, and In the Time of the Blue Ball. As a publisher, I think you should start by buying our book, but as a reader, I think you should start wherever and devour them all. It's a crazy world that Volodine has built, one that is more and more rewarding the deeper you read into it. All the various connections between the pseudonym, the books depicting this strange post-apocalyptic world, the books about the books and the post-exoticist writers—it's all so fascinating and so much fun. Hopefully more and more readers will become ensnared in this spider's web of a literary project as more and more of his books (from more of his pseudonyms) make their way into English.

Opinion: If the Individual Mandate Goes Down...

I gather there's some on some effort in food to say what we see of the states will putting mandate since the federal government did the right ... political loser but that may be the the only option you know the administration has been arguing for ... months now you can get more than a year of that that these are so intimately connected that if you get rid of them and they should get rid of ... the other stuff too I think your Tennessee them turn on and on ... and say ... well look we we tried but it didn't it didn't work states here cures the toy you can use to prevent a ... disaster in the insurance market ... I and and if not look it's it's your own fault ... the King James of looking at the politics area I think im guessing you would concur with the job that it's not a necessarily a great political theater star urging fifty mandates instead of lawn ... but to ... what you see for the president here if he if he comes out and I and says we need to move forward with my health care plan and a ... um you know the court may have screwed up the part of it but were were moving forward due a week and hasn't played for the more I suppose the optimal political outcome for the president is that the court ... strikes down the mandate and leaves the rest of the law intact ... and that he can push ahead with this policy ... and perhaps seek and hope that there will be a general hide the public good of the blue the decrease in interest with the idea that well the governor the worst part of this the mandate was something that really irritated people ... may be the oddball will become slightly less ... irritating ...

Kasidy Moore: A talent for singing and a head for business
Kasidy Moore has been singing for as long as she can remember.
Along with her cousins, she is part of "Ten.65," a gospel and jazz vocal group that performs around the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul at churches and festivals. When she is onstage, her heart is in the performance. But backstage, her mind is on making music her life's work.
"Music is a business-driven field," she says. "To be successful, you can't just see yourself as a performer." A recent Auggie Music Business grad, Kasidy knows that her degree will serve her well as she pursues her first love of singing.
This summer, Kasidy will be interning at Club 3 Degrees in downtown Minneapolis, putting both her love of music and her business sense to good practice. She will have the opportunity to work on marketing, promotions, and special events for one of the largest clubs in the city as she forges connections between the club and local college communities.
But she won't be abandoning her own music making. "I'm using the summer to build up my repertoire of songs," she says. With a talent for singing and a head for business, Kasidy's future looks to be in tune.
