What Is The Best Sporting Event To Attend While Drunk?
Illustration by Sam Woolley
Rank the best sports to watch live while inebriated. Hockey has to be the worst, right? Every time I'm at a game and reach down to get a drink or get lost in a slurred ramble, that's the exact moment the puck glances off three people and goes in. That never happens with football or baseball!
The NHL used to actually run ads about how easy it is to lose track of the game action (starring Matthew Perry! Look at this classic), which isn't the smartest way of promoting your chosen sport. Anyway, here are my rankings for the best sports to watch drunk and in person:
1. Horse racing. The clear champ. Honestly, I should go to more horse races. A horse race is just a big fucking party periodically interrupted by 90 seconds of hot horsey action. I could be a dozen cocktails in and still muster the required attention span to watch My Dick fail to win, place, or show. Oh well. [tears up ticket] BACK TO DRINKING.
2. Baseball. Baseball has so many advantages when it comes to drinking: inning changes so that you can go get more beer, a shall-we-say leisurely pace that allows you to tune the game out and shoot the shit until something dramatic happens (with the crack of the bat essentially serving as an alarm to get you to pay attention when shit is going down), and good summer weather. The pace of play is a problem for baseball only when it comes to TV. At the ballpark, they could screen a full movie between innings and I wouldn't really give a crap.
3. Golf. I know it sounds terribly boring to watch golf live, but again, that's the point. I can prioritize getting drunk over watching the actual sporting action. I've been to a couple of golf tournaments. All the best viewing spots are already taken by weird old people who show up with nylon chairs at 6 a.m. The rest of us walk around the pretty environs swilling beer and craning our heads if some famous golfer walks by. I THINK THAT'S PHIL! It's a solid way to waste an afternoon.
4. Hockey. This is probably too low because hockey is the best live sport and NO ONE DENIES THIS. Even though the game action is too fast for your average lush, you can at least PRETEND you saw the goal and go apeshit along with the rest of the crowd. Also, I enjoy the serenity that comes with being drunk and watching a Zamboni resurface the ice. Very satisfying when the driver covers up that last dry spot.
5. Soccer. I took my son to a DC United game and it was AWESOME. The tickets were dirt cheap, the seats were good, and they sold huge-ass cans of Tecate all over the concourse. Plus people were singing and wearing fun scarves and stomping their feet. Get drunk inside RFK and you'll understand instantly why old Skins fans wax nostalgic over that dump.
And even though soccer doesn't have any extended stoppages in gameplay, you can at least sense when a goal is close because of the flow of the action. There's usually a long and excruciating a buildup to the shot, which gives me time to look up. Then, if someone actually does score, it's fucking bedlam. I watched one of the DC guys lob a shot right over the goalkeeper, Carli Lloyd-style, and into the net. I stood up on my seat like a crazy person, I was so jazzed. My son was like, "Dad, please sit back down."
6. Pro wrestling. The drunker you get, the realer it becomes. I went to a WWE thing in Jersey once and I got so shitfaced that I was ready to storm the ring to defend D-Generation X against THE CORPORATION and those vile McMahons. Booing while drunk is the best kind of booing you can do.
7. College football. It's a four-hour game, so you really HAVE to sneak a hip flask in to pass the time. Also, the weather is still usually pretty nice.
8. Basketball. Too fast. I need everyone on the court to just, like, chill out so that I can finish this Miller Lite. If you ever bring me to an NBA game, I will ask you who's winning at least a dozen times, even though there's a scoreboard right there.
9. NASCAR. The whole fun of NASCAR is drinking BEFORE the race. That's when you get to set up your RV and wander around the tailgate lot and carouse with other lunatic rednecks. That's a good time. But once the race starts? No, fuck that. That's torture. Waking up after a NASCAR race is like waking up after you've smoked for the first time in years.
10. NFL. The worst. There's a reason everyone fights at NFL games. They're all drunk and angry. No one has ever regretted staying home to watch an NFL game on TV.
Parker:
Is it possible to poop on your balls? It's never happened to me but if you were to sit a certain way and/or you had disproportionately low hanging balls, is it possible?
Well, if you're a pig, it's clearly possible. All it takes is an infected and/or low-hanging scrotum and a severe case of diarrhea and PRESTO! You've got sewage on your nuts. After all, where does the nutsack really begin? Does it begin at the folds, or a little higher up where it joins the taint? Easier to get poo there.
Also, if you were determined, you could probably push your balls back and then let fly directly on top of them. Again, that's if you're determined, which seems unlikely. Otherwise, it's a neat trick that the butthole is located so close to your privates but rarely attacks them. Well done, God!
Fred:
I saw someone walking today on the street, eating fried rice with chopsticks like it was nothing. I was utterly amazed. Rice, with chopsticks, while walking at a normal gait and not dropping any? What's the hardest food and the easiest food to eat while walking somewhere?
I think we have to limit this to street food, because chances are you aren't walking around trying to dig into a slab of prime rib. Within those parameters, the easiest thing to eat is a big fucking slice of pizza. I don't even keep the plate. I just walk out of Famous Ray's or wherever, fold my slice, and throw the paper plate directly in the trash. Then I walk around dripping orange grease all over the sidewalk. It's great.
Do you know what the hardest street food to eat is? An ice cream cone. It's true. Every summer, we all buy into eating a fatally flawed mobile food product. Why do I EVER buy a fucking ice cream cone for my children? I should know by now that I'm committing suicide. It drips everywhere and then you need a million napkins and then the napkins stick to the cone and don't come off. Someone needs to DISRUPT the cone space with a cone that has its own waffle base to collect the runoff. I'm the guy who asks for a cup to go WITH the cone, because I lack nerve.
Oh, and you know what else is a bitch to eat while on the go? A big fucking kebab sandwich. The kebab van usually sells you sandwiches or platters, and the sandwiches are cheaper and SEEM easier to eat on the go, but they are not. I got a lamb kebab from a van once and squirted too much hot sauce on it, and the whole thing was a disaster. The bread wilted and the toppings fell out behind me. I must have left a pound of lettuce on the ground while I was snotting all over myself. I should have used a plate, maybe one of the plates I threw away while I was busy housing a slice of pizza. Going freestyle was a mistake. You can eat pretty much anything on the go if they include one of those rectangular paper basket things.
Also, beware of fully loaded hot dogs. I know it's easy to chow down on a plain hot dog on the move. But if you get one of those big Chicago jobs that has a pound of salad on top, it's a whole other challenge.
If you put Steph Curry on Mt. St. Mary's the 68th ranked team, how far would he take them in the NCAA tournament?
Didn't he take Davidson to the Elite Eight? That sounds about right. That was such a great run, too. I really wish he had finished Kansas off and made it all the way to the Final Four. No one needs to see Kansas in there ever again. I would have lost my shit. Anyway, I believe that you can single-handedly carry a team through the first couple rounds of the tournament before you hit a buzzsaw. Even though Curry is otherworldly, he'd eventually run into a stud team that triple-covers him and lets the rest of Mt. St. Mary's brick their way to defeat. TEAM GAME!
By the way, I wish there was a guaranteed correlation between tourney success and NBA success. Curry is one of those rare players who made his name with a Cinderella run in the tourney and then actually became an NBA superstar. Usually, those guys fall off the face of the fucking Earth, like Harold "The Show" Arceneaux. I like it when someone like Curry or Gordon Hayward keeps the excitement going.
Derby:
Every time I visit D.C. for business I immediately pretend that I'm House of Cards. I'm actually doing it now just emailing you while my taxi is driving past the monuments to take me to a secret meeting to decide the future of the free world (read: dinky hotel and boring sales pitch). You live in D.C. so do you do this all the time? Or is the political intrigue too boring for you now?
It happens any time I'm at the National Mall and walk by an empty park bench. I always want to sit down on the bench and then have Donald Sutherland sit next to me and explain how JFK couldn't have possibly been killed by just one man (still the greatest truthering scene in movie history; I believed every goddamn word of it back in high school). And if I see OTHER people sitting on benches, I assume that they are spies executing a dead drop. I bet if I tackled them, the microfiche would unspool across the lawn.
I also watch House of Cards, and I get unreasonably excited when they show off parts of DC, like that's something special. "Oh wow, the Washington Monument! I've been there!" Show me any place where I've lived on television and I will feel like the most special little boy in the world, even if it's one of the most obvious filming locations on Earth. "Oh wow, the Empire State Building! I used to live 30 blocks from there!" Pretty cool brag!
Zach:
Why are ravioli portions so small compared to other pasta dishes?
Because, for the sake of presentation, they don't want to stack them on top of one another. At home, I will eat ravioli out of a gallon bucket. But at a restaurant, the ravioli is so fresh and so delicate that you could tear one open just by blowing on it wrong. So they artfully arrange four of them flat on the plate and that's your stupid meal. It's an appetizer. Unless you're in St. Louis, always plan for ravioli to be appetizer-sized, and order accordingly.
I made ravioli for my wife the first time I cooked for her on a date. I invited her over and sat her down at the table and, just like at a restaurant, I lovingly arranged the ravioli on the plate without stacking them, and then drizzled Ragu sauce over them like I was Jackson Pollock. Then she asked if I had wine and I said no, I only had tall boys of Bud. It worked. We totally made out later. ROMANCE.
Are Bert and Ernie considered Muppets? My friends and I have been debating this for years. I contend that any puppet created by Jim Henson is a Muppet, whereas my incorrect buddies believe a Muppet must have appeared on the Muppet Show. Please settle this once and for all as these debates are getting really heated.
Well great, now you've got everyone here feuding about it, too. Anyway, if you go by the official listings, they ARE Muppets. But personally, I say they aren't Muppet Muppets, you know what I mean? I think of the Muppets as a very specific troupe of puppets that includes Kermit, Fozzie, Miss Piggy, etc. Even though Bert and Ernie have indeed appeared on the Muppet Show, Kermit introduces them as being "from Sesame Street." See, that's a whole other puppet troupe for me: Big Bird, Oscar, Elmo, etc. Those are the Sesame Street Muppets and not the TRUE MUPPETS. True Muppet fans know what I mean. I know Jim Henson created all of them, but the Muppets are their own club of puppets, and losers like Zoe don't get to be part of it.
Anyway, I put this question to the Deadspin staff and the fucking apocalypse broke out:
If you ate a bowl of plain yogurt — no toppings just plain yogurt — would you later poop it out or pee it out?
Both. Your body would absorb the water from the yogurt, send it into circulation, and then whizz it out. Then it would take the leftover curd, wring it of nutrients, and send it flying down your corn chute.
I had an argument with my wife yesterday because she swears by the health benefits of yogurt and I keep telling her that BIG YOGURT is lying to her, and that you don't need extra bacteria aiding your digestion when your body is already well-suited for the process. I then did some cursory research and found that the Mayo Clinic says probiotics do have some potential health benefits, but I'm not sending her the link. I STAND BY MY SLUR.
If you were teleported to a Vegas sports book exactly one year back in time, with $50, how much money do you think you could make? Do you remember enough specific game scores to start winning thousands of dollars? Or do you just wander about, homeless, waiting for your bets on the Cavaliers and Cubs to pay out?
One year ago today was tourney time, so I could spin that into some quick cash. Hang on, let me consult the original 2016 bracket to see where I could rack up the dough:
(checks)
Fuck. Fuck me, I couldn't do it. Was it Green Bay that made some noise last year? God dammit, I suck at being a sports fan now. It's pathetic. Oh wait, didn't Syracuse make it all the way to the Final Four as a lowly 10 seed? I can't be sure of that unless I cheat.
(cheats)
AHA! They did. Unreal. (Green Bay did nothing.) Man, I don't know if I would have been confident enough to lay that down on Syracuse, even with the inkling. Anyway, Villanova was 8-1 to win the whole thing, which would only net me $400 with a futures bet. I would have wait in a sports book and bet on an individual games or prop bets I knew to be a lock, and then just hang on and try to keep doubling my money on every pass. You'd need to double your money 11 times before getting into six figures. I bet I'd ruin it and spend my money on drinks before I had a chance to amass any kind of fortune. I'm very angry at myself right now.
Why doesn't McDonalds have onion rings?
Because people would still just order fries anyway, and because McDonalds is built upon consistent delivery of its product. The fries are always the same. The nuggets are always the same. The burgers are always the same. Do you know what those three foods have in common? They can be formed. They can be pulped into mush and then sculpted into mass copies of the same product model. You can't do that with an onion ring unless you mash it down and make some bizarre McOnion ring that no one would ever eat. I do not want an onion ring made of pink onion slime. Onion vary in shape and size, especially when you slice them, which means that onion rings do likewise. There's no way McDonald's is gonna trust a 17-year-old fryalator kid to churn those out consistently and keep the fryer clean.
By the way, thick onion rings are garbage. Those big, beer-battered fuckers that they put on top of a TGI Friday's burger? Awful. The batter is an inch thick. My favorite onion rings in the world come from this beach shack that slices them thin and fries them up into these little strands. You eat them by the fistful. Now those are some goddamn onion rings. Don't come at me with some big deep-fried onion bracelet.
Doug:
Do you think a road team has ever had no fans in attendance? My thought would be that it would have to be one of these expansion-era teams playing in some non-tourist northern town, like the Rays at the Mariners. Is it possible a road team has never had a single fan in attendance?
God, Marlins Man ruins this whole question, doesn't he? Fucking Marlins Man. The Marlins don't deserve to have a Man, even a man as lame as Marlins Man.
Anyway, I'm sure it's been done, especially back in the dying days of the Montreal Expos, when nine people would show up at the stadium, and most of them were forced to be there as part of a tour group. But think it's hard to pull off in professional sports because every city has a fanatic transplant or two in it that only sees their hometown team visit once or twice a year, if that. I bet there's like, ONE guy in Milwaukee who is diehard Atlanta Hawks fan and never misses a chance to see them when they swing through. All you need is one asshole like that to ruin it. And if the Bucks are shitty and have horrible attendance, then all the better for a potential visiting team's fan trolling StubHub for cheap seats. So if it ever happens, it's extremely rare. Jonah Keri says that those latter-day Expos drew at least 2,000 people to the game. That's still a lot of people. I bet at least one Phillies fan up there was jazzed to have a whole section of the joint to himself.
That's pro. If we're expanding this question to college, then the answer is definitely yes. Florida A&M doesn't travel well at all.
(Please note I do not count that 2015 Orioles game where they shuttered the whole goddamn park because of police protests. That was insane to do.)
Andrew:
Is there any cooler feeling than when you're grocery shopping and walk in front of your cart to grab something, and then do the push/spin thing from the front of your cart and catch it in stride by the push handle as it completes a 180? I always feel like such a bad-ass when I execute that maneuver.
NICE. I also like to put my foot on the bar and then spin the cart like I'm doing donuts in the Talladega infield. SO MUCH TORQUE.
Crysta:
I got into a heated argument with a friend over whether peanut butter should be refrigerated or not. I grew up refrigerating my peanutty spread. It's always consistently the same cool temperature and never gets runny or overly warm in a pantry. This is not the first time I have been side-eyed for this. Please settle the dispute once and for all.
I'm sorry, but I leave it out. Why would you want your peanut butter cold? That makes it harder to spread. The only peanut butter that gets overly runny is the oily, all-natural kind, and that shit is worthless. I use Skippy, and I keep it in the pantry so that it's always nice and spreadable. I spread it on my nipples. And again, I save on precious fridge real estate this way. The fridge is for beer and meats and cheeses. Everything else can get triaged to the cabinet.
Kirk:
With March Madness upon us, can we come to a consensus on which seeds are high and low? I'm pretty sure the best teams (1, 2 & 3 seeds) are considered "high" seeds, because I remember reading '85 Nova is the "lowest" seed to win the whole thing. But I just read an article about which double-digit high seeds could spring an upset.
Yeah I think the "high" seeds are the lower numbers, specifically one through three, maybe four if I feel like being charitable. That is top of the seedings, as it were. Those are the seeds where, if they lose in the first round, it's a big fucking deal. That's when I scream out loud watching at the bar and the dramatically tear up my bracket in front of everyone.
By the way, all the teams are basically the same after that No. 4 cutoff. No one really gives a shit anymore if a 12 beats a 5. That's SOP during the tourney. If anything, those seed numbers confer unearned prestige upon teams that may not deserve it. Minnesota is a 5 seed this year. Take it from a Minnesotan: there's no way they deserve to be a 5 seed. U-Minnesota basketball is worthless. Even when they make a run, it gets vacated. No one is screaming at the bar if they get their shit ruined in the first round.
Brett:
My daughter just turned one. As an almost toddler, she's beginning to find her voice, which means long strings of incoherent babbling. She's obviously trying to communicate with us, and respond to things she hears the people around her say. Yet, in so many instances, our instinct is to respond to her gibberish with more gibberish. Ga ga goo goo and all that crap. How badly are we confusing this kid by not talking to her like a human as she inches toward uttering her first real words?
You aren't supposed to talk baby talk back to a baby, even though that feels like a perfectly natural way to react to a baby going, "Ooooooo flarp gung!" I remember when my kids were babies and I was like, "If I talk their language, they'll understand me better! FLARP GUNG TO YOU TOO, KID!"
But no, that's bad. The kid needs to see how you form real words with your mouth so that they can emulate the proper pronunciation. In fact, if you've ever had a kid go through occupational therapy, they actually have parents point to their mouths WHILE talking, so that the kid pays attention to the shape of your lips and tongue. I know that sounds weird and gross, but I swear it's on the up-and-up. For developmental reasons, you should talk to your kid like a normal person. An adult, even. The more you do that, the sooner they talk like grownups. You'll be sharing war stories and brandy with your toddler in no time.
Joshua:
I found a package on my doorstep this morning and opened it without looking closely, as I was expecting an Amazon delivery and figured that's what it was. Turns out this package was meant for Apartment B in my building, and I live in A. I open it up, and there's easily several hundred dollars worth of sex toys in here. Specifically, two Fleshlights, a Fleshlight shower mount, a Fleshlight warmer (heady veteran move...don't want to put your dick in a cold, fake vagina), and several varieties of lube.
So what do I do? I'm obviously not going to keep it, and I certainly can't knock on his door and hand him the open box. That's a level of shame and embarrassment I wouldn't wish on anyone, especially a guy I live next door to and see every day. Do I try to re-tape it and stealthily put it on his doorstep? Send it back to the fine folks at Fleshlight and say it was delivered to the wrong address? Throw it in the dumpster, and hope he files a lost package claim and gets it re-delivered?
Retape it and leave it on his doorstep. But scrub the box of fingerprints. Opening mail that isn't your own is a crime, especially when it's a fake shower vagina.

Wer Dank opfert, der preiset mich (BWV 17) ist eine Kirchenkantate von Johann Sebastian Bach. Er schrieb sie 1726 für den 14. Sonntag nach Trinitatis und führte sie am 22. September 1726 erstmals auf.

Geschichte und Worte

Bach komponierte die Kantate in seinem vierten Jahr in Leipzig für den 14. Sonntag nach Trinitatis. Sie wird seinem dritten Kantatenzyklus zugerechnet. Die vorgeschriebenen Lesungen für den Sonntag waren , Paulus über die "Werke des Fleisches und die Frucht des Geistes", und , die Heilung der zehn Aussätzigen.

In diesem Jahr führte Bach 18 Kantaten seines Verwandten Johann Ludwig Bach auf, der in Meiningen Hofkapellmeister war. Bach scheint auch von dessen Texten beeindruckt gewesen zu sein und vertonte einige Texte ähnlicher Struktur: Sieben Sätze in zwei Teilen, die vor und nach der Predigt musiziert werden, wobei der erste Teil mit einem Zitat aus dem Alten Testament beginnt, der zweite mit einem aus dem Neuen Testament.

Bach komponierte einige Texte, die auch sein Verwandter verwendet hatte, darunter diese Kantate. Sie wurde geschrieben von Ernst Ludwig I. von Sachsen-Meiningen, laut Christoph Wolff.

Der Dichter entnimmt dem Evangelium den Gedanken, dass der Mensch Gott zu Dank verpflichtet ist. Als Bibelkenner beginnt er mit  und legt dem Rezitativ, das Teil II beginnt, die Verse 15 und 16 des Evangeliums zugrunde. Er spielt auf weitere Bibelstellen an, in Satz 2 auf , in Satz 3 auf , zum Preis der Schöpfung Gottes. In Satz 6 verweist die Formulierung "Lieb, Fried, Gerechtigkeit und Freud in deinem Geist" auf . Der Schlusschoral ist die dritte Strophe von "Nun lob, mein Seel, den Herren" von Johann Graumann (Poliander), erschienen 1530.

Bach führte die Kantate erstmals am 22. September 1726 auf. Er benutzte später den ersten Satz als Vorlage für den Abschluss "Cum sancto Spritu" im Gloria seiner Missa in G-Dur, BWV 236.

Besetzung und Aufbau

Die Kantate ist besetzt mit vier Solisten, Sopran, Alt, Tenor und Bass, vierstimmigem Chor, zwei Oboen, zwei Violinen, Viola und Basso continuo. Ihre sieben Sätze sind in zwei Teile aufgeteilt, die vor und nach der Predigt musiziert wurden. Beide Teile beginnen mit einem Bibelzitat.

Teil I
 Coro: Wer Dank opfert, der preiset mich
 Recitativo (Alt): Es muss die ganze Welt ein stummer Zeuge werden
 Aria (Sopran): Herr, deine Güte reicht, so weit der Himmel ist
Teil II
 Recitativo (Tenor): Einer aber unter ihnen
 Aria (Tenor): Welch Übermaß der Güte
 Recitativo (Bass): Sieh meinen Willen an, ich kenne, was ich bin
 Choral: Wie sich ein Vatr erbarmet

Musik

Der Eingangschor stellt die Psalmverse in zwei fugierten Abschnitten vor, die durch eine instrumentale Sinfonia eingeleitet werden. Alle Rezitative sind secco. In der ersten Arie illustrieren Sopran und zwei obligate Violinen in aufsteigenden Linien den Text "so weit die Wolken gehen", wobei die Worte "preisen" und "weisen" durch ausgedehnte Koloraturen hervorgehoben werden.

Das Bibelzitat im Rezitativ zu Beginn von Teil II hat erzählenden Charakter und ist daher der Tenorstimme anvertraut, ähnlich dem Evangelisten in Bachs Oratorien und Passionen. Die zweite Arie wird von allen Streichern begleitet. Beide Arien haben den gleichen ungewöhnlichen Aufbau. Sie sind dreiteilig, der dritte Teil ist vokal kein da capo, aber mit ihm gleichzeitig wird das einleitende Ritornell wiederholt, was dem Satz Geschlossenheit verleiht. John Eliot Gardiner bewundert besonders den vierstimmigen Satz des zwölfzeiligen Schlusschorals für seine Tonmalerei zu den herbstlichen Worten "Gleichwie das Gras vom Rechen, ein Blum und fallendes Laub, der Wind nur drüber wehet", und vergleicht ihn mit dem zentralen Satz der Motette Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied, BWV 225.

TEHRAN (Alik)–At the 11 National Representative Assembly of the Tehran Prelacy Tuesday–Bishop Sebouh Sarkissian was elected the Prelate of Tehran. He replaces long-time prelate the late Archbishop Artak Manoukian who passed away last fall. Sarkissian was the locum tenens.
As is customary–His Holiness Aram I–Catholicos of the Holy See of Cilcia had submitted a three-person list of candidates to the NRA for consideration prior to the election of a prelate.
The meeting discussed the Catholicos' list and took into consideration Bishop Sarkissian's performance as locum tenens during the past six months and the positive influence he has had for the Armenian community of Tehran.
The NRA unanimously voted to elect Sarkissian. At the conclusion of the meeting–the newly-elected Prelate thanked the NRA representatives and pledged to do his best to ensure the enhancement of the Tehran Prelacy.

A man has been jailed for three years for robbing a taxi driver at knifepoint in Dorset after he was identified via a CCTV appeal.
Jack Harradine,of Rushey Green, Catford, London, was jailed at Bournemouth Crown Court on May 8 after admitting to the robbery.
The incident occurred at around 12.10am on September 20 last year, when a taxi driver - a local man aged in his 50s - picked up Harradine, another man and a woman outside Bournemouth railway station.
The group asked to go to Muscliff Lane, before changing their minds and requesting to go to Pizza Hut on Wimborne Road.
Man accused of stealing 10-15 packets of meat from Yeovil store
As the taxi went along Wimborne Road, the passengers asked the driver to stop at Miro off-licence on the corner of Wimborne Road and Brassey Road.
The woman remained in the back of the taxi while Harradine and his friend went into the off-licence before returning to the taxi.
As they travelled along Wimborne Road, the woman asked the driver to go down Lawford Road and pull over. All three left the taxi and began to walk off toward Castle Lane West.
They had left the rear door of the taxi, open so the victim got out of the taxi to close it. Harradine then returned to the cab and demanded money from the taxi driver.

The victim told them he had no money, and Harradine then took the taxi driver's keys from the ignition before threatening him with a knife.
Harradine, 23, lunged at the victim, who managed to avoid the attack. The victim was then able to reach back into the taxi, grab a screwdriver and fend off Harradine, who fled toward Castle Lane West.
The victim was not physically injured in the incident.
Officers immediately attended and a search of the area was carried out with assistance of the dog unit. However, the group was not located.

A public appeal was issued with CCTV images from the Miro off-licence, and Harradine was later identified and arrested.
Detective Constable Mark Richardson, of Bournemouth CID, said: "This was a terrifying incident for the victim and I would like to praise his bravery during the ordeal.
"I would like to thank the public for their assistance in helping to identify Harradine following the CCTV appeal.
"Knife crime will not be tolerated and we will bring offenders to justice."

D. ADVANTAGES/BENEFITS OF SOLAR POWER PLANT:
(i) General:
Free and Green Power
Reduces Electricity Bill.
Use of Open Space for producing Energy.
Payback Period is about years.
Preventing carbon emission to our atmosphere
Annual saving of coal.
Annual Saving of precious water.
Adds to Green Power Generation.
Preventing the environment degradation.
Savings in electrical line or T & D losses .
Contribute to solar capacity addition even by small individual consumers and thus leading to energy security.
Utilizing the available solar energy resource in the State.
Reduces line load, transmission & distribution losses.
To contribute to productive utilization of available rooftop space.
Environmental and Social benefits:
1.50 Tones of annual carbon emission to our atmosphere will be prevented with the installation of 1 KW capacity Solar Power Plant.
There will be an annual saving of approx. 1.26 M.Ton of coal if 1 KW capacity Solar Power Plant is installed.
8.30 K.Litres of precious water will annually be saved on installation of 1 KW capacity Solar Power Plant which gets consumed in generating equal quantity of electricity through a Thermal Power Plant.
Preventing the environment degradation due to large hydro – stations: Due to construction of big hydroelectric dams, productive land & forest gets submerged & destroyed and large no. of people have to be rehabilitated posing serious & grave problems. This further causes numerous environmental issues which many a time become an impediment to the execution of the project and cause delays. SPV power plants create no such issues and hence are perfectly 'people friendly' technology.
Offset the need for setting up a coal based thermal power station
Large scale use of solar power in India can produce substantial reductions in green house gas emissions, particularly carbon dioxide.
Benefits to the Power Utilities:
Savings in electrical line losses: substantial Energy is lost in the transmission of power to customers due to the electrical impedance in the T&D system. If the total load doubles in the given system the losses increase by about four times. A PV Generating system being located on the consumer end itself, total power so generated comes to wholesome utilization with no T & D losses.
Voltage Support: The PV system can reduce the power drawn from Electricity Department grid and reduces the voltage drop. This helps when large power is consumed by air-conditioners and irrigation pumps from the grid (during switching on such loads the voltage dip may take place). In rural remote locations, at the end of the distribution systems where the voltages are known to be very low due to over loading and under sized grids, the solar power generating system would provide voltage support to the grid.
The quantum of electricity consumed by eligible consumer, who is not defined as obligated entity, from the solar photovoltaic power plant may qualify as deemed Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) for the distribution Licensee.
Benefits to the State:
To contribute to solar capacity addition even by small individual consumers and thus leading to energy security.
To optimally utilize the available solar energy resource in the State.
To help in reducing line load & transmission & distribution losses.
To create public awareness and environment consciousness amongst the citizens.

What is an inverter or Power Conditioning Unit (PCU)?
There are two kinds of electricity, DC and AC. Homes that are connected to utility power use AC electricity. Flashlights, small radios and automobiles use DC electricity. In order to use solar power to operate the appliances in your home, an inverter will convert solar power from DC to AC. Inverters can be further classified as units that use batteries and those that use the utility grid as power storage (Grid-connected). For grid connected solar power plants with battery bank, Power Conditioning Unit (PCU) is required having various features, while for system without battery bank shall require inverter.
Who are the Vendors for installation of the system?
Approved Channel Partners of MNRE or Manufacturer/Supplier/System Integrator empanelled with MNRE are the vendors for installation of the system. While Renewable Energy Department, Haryana/ HAREDA is the state nodal agency for installation of the system. List of Channel Partners/Entrepreneurs empanelled by MNRE is available on the website www.mnre.gov.in and alos on www.hareda.gov.in.
Are there any technical standards for various components of the system?
Yes, the various components of SPV system shall have IEC/ISI/BIS Certification and confirm to technical standards specified by MNRE/HAREDA. Detailed technical standards for various components of the system are given on the website of HAREDA www.hareda.gov.in.
What are the option in the Power Conditioning Unit (PCU)?
Following may be the options in the PCU:
Grid Export System Hybrid PCU( Grid Connected with battery bank):
Condition # 1:
SPV present, Grid available
Battery Charged through MPPT charger + mains & Load supplied through Grid
PV available, Battery charged, Grid available
surplus power exported to grid connected loads
SPV not available, Grid available,
Battery charging through Grid
SPV not available, Grid OFF,
Inverter supplying power to grid connected loads through Battery
SPV & Grid not available
Battery discharged. Start DG command

Load supplied through PV upto level of PV and draws more, if required, from Grid
PV available, Grid available
If load is less then PV available then surplus power exported to grid
PV not available, Grid available,
Load supplies from Grid.
PV available, Grid Not available
The power plant will not work
What are the advantages and Limitations of Solar Power Plant?
Advantages/Disadvantages of A Hybrid System (Grid Connected with battery bank):
High level of reliability to Battery bank.
Lesser battery discharge and hence longer life of battery.
Reduced electricity bills.
Highly reliable system and can be used in wide range of URBAN/Industrial/Institutional application.
Also improves the quality of AC power and can be called solar UPS.
Disadvantages/Limitations:
High Cost.
High cost on maintenance
Works on battery charge-discharge leadings to:
Wastage of precious PV power generated.
Reduced battery life.
Does not ensure optimum yield from PV panels.
Thus Hybrid Solar Power Plant is suitable only for RURAL areas where Electricity Power from the Grid is not available at present and is not likely in near future.
Advantages/Disadvantages of Grid-Connected Power Plant without battery bank:
High conversion efficiency of PV Power into usable AC power
Simple system with longer life i.e. no battery life issue.
Works only when grid power is available.

San Jose Model Gains Plus-Sized Fame
A model seen in the September issue of Glamour is causing a stir due to her everywoman body shape
By Xana O'Neill	• Published at 12:57 pm on August 24, 2009
A buxom blonde who showed off her shapely curves in a bare-all photoshoot for a glossy magazine has caused quite a stir.
Lizzi Miller, 20, flashes her pearly whites as she poses nearly-nude in a red thong for the September issue of "Glamour" magazine, revealing some stretch marks, thick thighs and a roll of stomach fat.
"I used to be so self-conscious in a bikini because my stomach wasn't perfectly defined," she said. "But everyone has different body shapes. And it's not all about physical."

The shoot ignited an outpouring of support for the 5-foot-11 beauty, who wears between a size 12 and 14, and moved to New York City from San Jose three years ago to pursue her dream of modeling, according to the magazine.
Miller, who weights 180 lbs, was photographed alongside a story about being comfortable in your skin.


As the new school year begins, the 1:1 laptop programme at St Andrew's College continues to grow. As the year begins, all Year 8-11 students are required to bring a laptop to school each day. With the number of Senior College students voluntarily bringing laptops to school growing each year, we are ever closer to all students in the Secondary School having a laptop with them each lesson.
The first was about the amount of class time that some teachers felt could be wasted at the start of the year, getting all student's computers successfully connected to school systems, and the class OneNote Notebook.
The second concern raised was around the the lack of familiarity of some students with their particular device.
In response to these concerns the decision was made to invest some time in the first few days of the 2016 school year to actively try and get Year 9 students more familiar with their own computers, and the systems that we use here at St Andrews College. In consultation with Middle School leadership, it was decided that students would have four periods to complete such a task – with the time being split over the first two days of the school year.
With over 200 Year 9 students the range of ability and engagement with computers was always going to be extremely varied. For this reason I decided to create an induction task that used a single platform, OneNote, as the base, with a range of other resources linked into it, such as instructional videos and surveys.
In an attempt to gain some preliminary information all students were asked to complete a short online survey. Of most interest to me was their responses to the following two questions.
The results from these two questions particularly gave me the confidence that such a programme was incredibly important for our incoming Year 9 students. While approximately half of our Year 9 intake are from the Preparatory School, where we know they receive a thorough grounding in all things IT; the remainder of our intake arrive from a wider range of feeder schools; from across the city and beyond. A major aim, when writing this task was to ensure that all students gained a basic understanding of both their computers (keyboard shortcuts, power saving settings, and our systems such as printing, emailing and online storage.
This task was good because it helped me learn how to use my computer.
I liked how we could try some of the things by ourselves and the demonstrations from the videos.
Similarly,Year 9 Tutor staff, who were involved in supporting the students during their induction sessions, were also asked to provide feedback. It was particularly pleasing to see the high regard with which they held the assistance that they received from IT staff during the Staff feedback.
On reflection I am very happy with how this task went. As with doing anything for the first time, I will continue to reflect carefully on all aspects of the task and try and identify the improvements that can be made. Obviously providing adequate IT support over 13 classrooms and over 200 devices is an acknowledged difficulty, but I really hope that the teachers of Year 9 will notice an improvement in the confidence, and capabilities of their classes as the school year gets underway.
This post is based around work done by Ms Tam Yuill Proctor. She has already blogged about this unit here. She has also created a Sway about it, which you can view here.
One of our aims, as an eLearning team, is to foster and supplement the intrinsic enthusiasm of many of our staff. We find this blog is a great way to publicise and celebrate the success that we see every day in our school.
One such staff member is Ms Tam Yuill Proctor. A previous post on this blog described her success with using Google Earth to explore film setting with her Year 10 English class. This activity was part of a wider unit exploring the importance of setting within English. In response to the great work her class produced in this activity, Ms Proctor approached me to talk through some ideas to continue this innovation-based learning with this class.
With a continued focus on setting, the class was given a fairly stereotypical short story brief. Write a short story of approximately 600 words with the theme of Conflict. Each student must produce at least four drafts, make those drafts available to their peers for feedback and feedforward, and act on appropriate advice given. Nothing particularly groundbreaking here!
However, acting on inspiration gained from a keynote address given by Australian author Michael Pryor at the NZATE English Conference, Ms Yuill Proctor had students design the setting for their story before they wrote it. The period before the recent school holidays, the students were set the task of creating a virtually designed setting for their story. They were able to use any digital platform they wanted, and could spend as much time as they wanted, over the holidays, on the setting. The results were remarkable.
While a smaller number of students contacted Ms Proctor asking if they could work in 'the real world instead' the vast majority of the students stuck to the original brief. There was a wide variety of work produced, with settings constructed in Sketchup, Paint, Minecraft and the source engine of the game Counter-Strike.
The final aspect of this task involved students recording a short video, or audio recording that would allow them to clearly the author's purpose, specifically regarding the setting they had designed. The challenge we now faced was what is the best way to tie all this great work together in a way that was accessible for a larger audience. Our original idea was to use the augmented reality App Aurasma, which has been used with some success in the Preparatory School. Unfortunately it quickly became obvious that the use of this App, with this particular group, was going to be problematic as although the class all had their own laptops, not all had a compatible smartphone.
The obvious solution was to host students' videos on You Tube and create the links with QR codes instead. This proved to be a great decision as all students were able to create and link their codes effectively and quickly. The other pleasing aspect of this success was that it further consolidated my belief that, in a classroom setting, it is usually much more effective to use an easy to use tool, that a more complicated substitute that may, in fact, have any tangible value added.
With many students choosing to create their setting in Minecraft, Ms Yuill Proctor and I were really conscious that it might be difficult for the audience of the story to get a full appreciation of the complexity of a Minecraft setting design from a 1D picture. Resultantly we decided to print these designs on the school's 3D printer. The knowledge of Joshua Harrison, a member of the IT team, was instrumental at this stage, and I acknowledge his important contribution.
I was particularly pleased with the fact that this, very successful, unit is a great example of a teacher challenging herself, and her students, with an activity that is clearly modification on the SAMR scale.
Ms Yuill Proctor was also very pleased with the results of the unit; especially the fact that it "fully integrated all aspects of the English Curriculum." The creating meaning and the making meaning Curriculum Strands were both clearly addressed and the structured nature of the unit allowed student agency to come to the fore.
The following story is based around a setting created in the source engine of the game Counter-Strike. Use the QR code to see a video of the setting, or click here!


In the financial sector, including banks, insurance companies, pension funds, and the gaming industry, money is the core business. The financial sector is highly competitive and dependent on fast implementation of new IT systems or changes to existing ones.
On top of this, the financial sector is highly regulated. Hence, the IT systems developed and maintained in and for the sector need to comply with strict legislation and regulations. An important consequence of this is that both internal and external suppliers of IT systems to the financial sector are accountable for everything they develop or change, as for how well their systems comply with regulations. It requires strict configuration management both during development and maintenance as well as meticulously documented tests.
Investigate and analyze your needs, and ensure that they are fulfilled in a controlled and accountable manner.
Design and implement the most effective configuration management in regards to your needs in cooperation with you.
Plan, monitor, document, and control your test projects of all sizes and complexities with the level of involvement you choose.
Identify effective testing approaches for technically and regulatory challenging projects.
Design and execute test to meet specific regulatory requirements.
Define appropriate metrics for development or change projects, and collect and analyze the measurements with the level of involvement you choose.

Peter Marcoux was born in Quebec, Canada, and lived at that place until he was seventeen years of age. Here, however, his education and training was almost entirely in French, so that since his removal to the United States he has been obliged to make a thorough study of English in the night schools of different cities in which he has been located. Also profitably put in four winter terms in the study of engineering and drawing in schools in Chicago. At the present time Mr. Marcoux is equally fluent in both languages, having well mastered the task that was set before him. He is the son of George and Felicite (Badard) Marcoux, the former a carpenter by trade and still residing at Quebec. The mother died in 1865.
After working in a machine shop about two years, Mr. Marcoux left Canada and came to Michigan, and for some time was employed in a sawmill at Menominee. Removing to Escanaba he worked at the carpenter's trade, after which he began his marine life, to which he had devoted his time since. In 1880 he went on the Argonaut as fireman for part of a season, with his uncle, Charles E. Marcoux, who was chief engineer, and who was lost on the Vernon in 1887, our subject being with him until that time, after which Mr. Marcoux filled the same position on the Rube Richard for the remainder of the year. That winter he returned to Escanaba, and was employed in a grocery store, going as fireman on the Chauncey Hulbert the following season. Upon this boat he remained two years, and receiving papers in August acted as second engineer after that, holding the same berth upon the J.C. Parrotte for a shirt time; the remainder of the season he went on the Fayette Brown as greaser. The following winter he spent in Chicago as engineer of a building, and during June of the next season he shipped on the Argonaut as second engineer, and remained two and a half seasons. He acted as chief of the same boat for two seasons, and then spent a season and a half on the Escanaba as chief, finally, in July, 1894, coming on the Parks Foster, on which he has since remained.

Juan Noel Lastra, (Paita, 1813 - Casma, 2 de mayo de 1854) fue un marino peruano. Pereció heroicamente durante el naufragio de su nave, la fragata Mercedes, al negarse a abandonarla hasta que no estuviera a salvo su último tripulante.

Biografía

Fue hijo de Agustín Noel y María Lastra. En 1822 viajó con sus padres a España, donde cursó estudios en el Instituto Náutico de Vergara. Luego se alistó en la marina mercante, y en 1836 era capitán de la goleta Caupolicán. En 1841, ingresó a la Marina de Guerra del Perú con el grado de alférez de fragata. Fue precisamente ese año en que estalló la guerra con Bolivia, durante la cual, la marina peruana tuvo un papel muy importante en la defensa nacional.

En 1842, ya como teniente segundo se hallaba a bordo de la goleta Limeña, ocasión en la que apoyó desde Paita el pronunciamiento a favor del general Francisco de Vidal. Eran los días de la anarquía militar. Se le ordenó bloquear el puerto de Huanchaco, y ante la insistencia del comandante del blindado británico Cormorant de romper el bloqueo, supo doblegarlo asegurándole que llevaba suficiente pólvora para hacer volar su buque y el suyo. Mereció entonces su ascenso a teniente primero, el 19 de enero de 1843.

Luego se puso al servicio del Directorio de Manuel Ignacio de Vivanco y fue promovido a capitán de corbeta. Al estallar la revolución constitucional contra Vivanco, fue enviado al sur al mando de la Limeña, tomando parte en la captura del puerto de Arica, el 17 de julio de 1843, donde tuvo una actuación destacada. Sin embargo, el puerto fue recapturado poco después por las fuerzas revolucionarias al mando de Ramón Castilla

Finalizada la guerra civil, en 1847 se embarcó en el bergantín General Gamarra como ayudante del comandante general de Marina y al año siguiente fue enviado a Ayacucho como oficial itinerario.

En 1849, fue comisionado por el gobierno de Ramón Castilla a la selva de Chanchamayo, al frente de una expedición destinada a contener los ataques de las tribus amazónicas y estudiar la utilización de las vías fluviales. Permaneció durante seis años en la zona, donde construyó el puerto de San Ramón y un fuerte para su defensa.

Ya como capitán de fragata, en 1852 fue nombrado comandante de la goleta Mercedes, que hacía de buque escuela. Gobernaba entonces el general José Rufino Echenique. En mayo de 1854 fue enviado con su nave hacia Casma, junto con el vapor Rímac, con la misión de embarcar tropas. Cumplida esta labor, se acordó que, durante el viaje de retorno al Callao, el Rímac remolcaría a la Mercedes, pero casi a la vista de Casma, se rompieron los cables de remolque. La Mercedes quedó al garete y como tenía en pañoles su velamen, el fuerte viento lo arrojó contra la llamada rocanegra. La goleta, que llevaba 800 soldados a bordo, empezó a naufragar. Noel hizo esfuerzos desesperados por salvar a sus hombres y terminó por ser una de las víctimas, pues no quiso abandonar su navío y junto con otros muchos que se apiñaban en la cubierta se hundió en el mar turbulento. Su esposa, María de la Cruz Andrade, una de los pocas sobrevivientes de esta tragedia, presenció su sacrificio. Solo un centenar de los soldados que iban a bordo de la goleta lograron salvarse.

El heroísmo de Noel quedó inmortalizado en la letra del himno de la Escuela Naval, que dice:
