« Joe Garagiola's Memory Game
Dotto »
Barney Miller was a popular situation comedy which ran on ABC from January 23, 1975 to May 20, 1982. It starred Hal Linden as the Captain of the 12 precinct of the New York Police Department. Also in the cast were Max Gail, Ron Carey, Abe Vigoda, Ron Glass, Steve Landesberg, Jack Soo, James Gregory and Gregory Sierra. Some of those actors came and went (Vigoda left to star in a spin-off, Fish) and one died (Soo, during Season 5).
Abby Dalton played Miller's wife in the pilot — taped at CBS and called The Life and Times of Captain Barney Miller — which also included Linden and Vigoda. ABC did not like the end product and the result was played off among other unsold pilots in the Summer of '74. But in the meantime, creators Danny Arnold and Theodore Flicker had reconfigured the show and shot another pilot which ABC picked up for mid-season status. The second ticket above is from a taping done more than a month before the show debuted. The new version featured Barbara Barrie as Miller's wife but the producers soon decided that the show should be about the Captain's job, not his home life, and Barrie's character wound up getting mentioned often but was rarely seen.
Barney Miller tapings were notorious throughout the industry for their marathon hours. It was not uncommon for the evening taping to be followed by a complete rewrite of the script. The audience would depart and the writers would go to work with producer Danny Arnold supervising or doing most of the heavy lifting. Retaping would eventually commence and could easily last until 1 or 2 AM. There were nights when it did not conclude until much later, with some tapings reportedly stretching until dawn. Needless to say, some episodes as aired contained nothing that had been taped before the live audience and were sweetened with canned laughter. But the show was successful and received multiple Emmys, Golden Globes and even a Peabody, so most involved seemed to think it was all worth it.

WWE: Lita Returns to SmackDown and Says She Has One More Run Left
By Matthew Aguilar - January 14, 2022 09:16 pm EST
Tonight's SmackDown featured the return of a WWE legend in Lita, who hadn't been on the Blue Brand in quite some time. Michael Cole introduced her and she emerged to a huge reception by the crowd. Once she got into the ring the crowd started Lita chants, and she said it still gives her chills every time. Cole complimented her and also said that so many current superstars say that Lita inspired them, and asked why she decided to compete in the Rumble match. Lita said "Michael it's been a wild ride. I've got more career highlights than I can count. The first woman to main event Raw with my bestie Trish Stratus. Being the first woman involved in a TLC match" to name a few. "I would say most days I am fully satisfied with my career, until recently," Lita said.
"I didn't have the ability to compete in the women's Royal Rumble match, because we didn't have that. I don't know about you guys, but I think I've got one more in me. So I've got a plan, okay. I'm going to enter the Royal Rumble, overcome 29 other women, and main event WrestleMania," Lita said.
Then Charlotte Flair's music hit and she came out to the ring. Then she took the microphone and said she was going to interview Lita. She asked her how she was and then said whatever. "I didn't know it was Flashback Friday," Flair said. "Guys, the is so extreme, isn't that what you used to say? When I win, I get to win the Rumble match and pick my opponent." Then she threatened her a bit and said she can end her WrestleMania dreams.
Lita said "I heard about this version of Charlotte. Feels like we've got a real Tonya Harding on our hands. I'm just confused how you're going to throw someone over the top rope with that massive head you've got. Like, you could just tip over."
The crowd started chanting huge giant head, and Flair cut her off. Flair said, "it's really funny that you bring up your bestie Trish Stratus, because back at SummerSlam when she was bored and asking for relevance she asked for a match, and after that, she was so broken she retired, and at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view, that is what I'm going to do to you."
Lita then hit her in the face and waved, and then she delivered a slam to Flair in the center of the ring. Flair crawled out after Lita left, and odds are there will be more fireworks between the two before Royal Rumble.

Team News: Leyton Orient vs Hartlepool United

Tristan Abrahams is set to be handed his full debut for Leyton Orient this afternoon in their crucial League Two match with Hartlepool United.
Only a win will do for O's who are 10 points behind the Monkey Hangers prior to the game today.
Abrahams introduction at Kenilworth Road on Good Friday helped change the match for Orient.
The 18-year-old bullied the Luton back line and scored his first professional goal to help Orient draw 2-2.
Omer Riza may have Paul McCallum available again, although O's top goalscorer may only be risked from the bench.
It is likely to be another inexperienced team for Orient, but they showed plenty of heart and character on Friday.
Hartlepool will be feeling the pressure themselves today with Newport County just one point behind them.
The Monkey Hangers haven't won since March 14, but have drawn their last two games to stay above the bottom two.


A thread for your tech issues for this game!
Don't forget there's a CE forum for this game too in case you need help!
I' m not sure where to put this so I'll try here. I just purchased Fatal Passion today, in fact, maybe fifteen minutes ago, and right away, I got the bonus credit but not the game credit. There is nothing to indicate I bought Fatal Passion at all. And so far, only one punch.
What gives? This is the second time I have had trouble with getting credit for a game. I bought Fall of the New Age last Friday so I would get credit for the game and complete a punch card. It didn't happen. Never showed up and I lost five credits plus the one for the game I bought.
What's going on BF?? Can someone help here?
As always, slow floating cursor and lagging scenes equals no buy.
Thanks for posting that link pondprowler! I went ahead and made it clickable so players can get to the Collector's Edition forum.
brought game down loaded it tried to play but all I get is sound and a black screen playing on hp deck top win8 any suggestion?

Get to know… Aaron Collins

Get to know… Aaron 'Bam-Bam' Collins
'My power is definitely one of my major strengths, and I don't think people should underestimate me.'
Briton Aaron Collins (6-0) spoke to Boxing News Now ahead of his Ultimate Boxxer challenge on September 20 in London, where eight super-welterweights battle it out in one night to win The Golden Robe.
The unbeaten southpaw didn't start boxing until he was in his 20's but now enters the exciting tournament, live on BT Sport, where one winner will take home a share of £50k.
Steven Donnelly got what he asked for
Get to know…Lenny 'The Main Man' Fuller
Get to know… Sean Robinson
Height: 5ft 7.5ins
Stance: Southpaw
From: Frimley, Hampshire
A very good footballer and athlete as a youngster, Aaron 'Bam-Bam' Collins came to boxing as a 22-year-old after watching a friend in a white collar event and realised he wanted a piece of the action. Collins shed four stone off his frame in order to compete, and enters proceedings with a 6-0 winning professional record. By his own admission, he didn't have an amateur career but did go down the unlicensed and white collar route before turning pro - he fought 15 times, losing only two.
How long have you been boxing?
For only about four years, I was more into football and running when I was younger, so came to it relatively late. I tore my medial ligament in my knee when I was at Aldershot Town, and when I came back I wasn't able to play to the same level as I had been before the injury. My coach Matt Gorton gave me the nickname 'Bam-Bam' because I was like a Flintstone character, I couldn't really be controlled when I first started!
What got you into the sport?
I watched a friend do a white-collar event, enjoyed it and thought I could do that. I loved the atmosphere watching my mate fight, with everyone cheering him. I'd been into lifting weights at the time, and was up to about 14.5 stone, but it was quite boring, and boxing gave me the chance to be more athletic.
Why Ultimate Boxxer?
I think it will be a brilliant experience on the night, and I'm also excited about the opportunities it could give me. 50-50 fights, a great night of entertainment, it's amazing - why not! I think my experience in white-collar boxing will help when I go into the ring in UB5.
Why should we make you the favourite for the UB5 Golden Robe?
It's all about who's going to prepare the best, who's going to train the hardest and fight the best on the night. And that's me. I've carried a lot of strength with me from when I was bigger, even though I'm now fighting at this weight category. My power is definitely one of my major strengths, and I don't think people should underestimate me.
When you're training, what's on the music playlist?
Mostly house, dance - anything with a beat to it. I love 70s and 80s music, remixed.
Who is your favourite sports team, or individual athlete outside of boxing?
I was a really good footballer when I was younger, I played for Aldershot and Hampshire, but Chelsea was always my team.
Who is your favourite fighter?
It chops and changes a bit, but at the minute it would have to be Vasiliy Lomachenko. That guy is insane, he moves well, fights well on the inside, on the back foot, he counter punches. He's amazing.
What would be your dream fight, if we could transform your weight, height, or put you in a time machine?
In that case, I'd love to be a heavyweight, and fight Deontay Wilder at Madison Square Garden in New York. And cause an upset!

This step-by-step guide will take you through installing the Burnham-Brandeis Helical Package. In our example we'll be installing the package on a Pentium 4 system running Fedora Core 6 Linux. Because we've got a binary package for this on our downloads section, we'll go through installing from source and from the binary installation package. Although the details might differ slightly for different platforms, these differences will be minor to trivial.


The Tesla Supercharger card demonstrates a high concentration of fast charges in Western Europe. In countries such as Albania, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Serbia and Moldova, there are none.
Musk also outlined plans to focus on cities, in particular, to work with landlords and add chargers to apartment buildings.
Then Musk said that the Supercharger will be installed "on all major highways in Texas, to Brownsville and throughout Mexico." However, the planned completion of charging in San Antonio and Austin has not yet been completed.
He also plans to deliver the Supercharger in Africa until 2020. On the African continent, they also do not exist.
Tesla Supercharger network was launched in 2012, so that owners of electric vehicles can travel long distances. The Supercharger adds up to 300 kilometers in 30 minutes.
Mask has already made bold promises on the network of charging stations. And although the company has achieved significant success and investments in the Supercharger network, it has not yet reached its previously set goal.
In April 2017, Tesla announced that it would double the Supercharger global network from 5,400 to 10,000 devices by the end of the year. But managed to put only 8250 stations.
Earlier this year, Elon Musk planned to install 18,000 charging stations around the world until the end of 2018. But now there are 11,583 (of which 1,386 are Supercharger stations).


I had a number of other domains that I previously registered with the intent of doing something special but never did. One of those was, heartofpapa, with which I had always planned to share my journey of being a dad. Being a dad is really the first and most important aspiration I ever had. My dad struggled with the responsibility and as a young man, that impacted me to want to break a cycle and be a different father in my genealogical line.
After five years of dormancy, this morning, I had a change of heart and decided to save the domain (7 days before it expired), move it to a different and less exploitive registrar, hover.com, and set up an inexpensive (read free) blog on Tumblr.
They say the "proof is in the pudding", so now I have committed to posting real content – a journal of journey as a dad. I hope it is interesting. I hope it is worthwhile, but most of all – I hope it is real and I hope you'll join me!

Home / Score / de Toledo JAGS slash LIONS 59-47
In the tier 1 consolation game, the #3 Jaguars faced the #7 Lions. The Lions' Jake Rulnick got into early foul trouble, committing two early fouls. He was truly missed by the Lions as they were forced to go with a smaller lineup. The Jaguars took advantage of that. Jordan Leshem racked up 6 first quarter points and led his team to a three point lead by the end of the first quarter.
With Jake Rulnick back in the game, the Lions cut the lead down to 1 point. This was an old-school physical basketball game all the way through. Foul troubles continued to be a problem for the Lions. With four minutes left in the half, the Jaguars were already in a one and one bonus. With 2 and a half minutes left in the half, Jonah Dobkin hit a big three and extended the lead for the Jaguars to 6. One the other end, Tyler Farkas answered right back with a three of his own. Foul trouble haunted the Jaguars. One of their best players, Jordan Leshem, committed his fourth foul in only the second quarter. His team was able to maintain a six point lead by the end of the half thanks to Ethan Stubington. He hit a couple of big time threes and led his team to a 24-18 halftime lead.
To start off the second half, the Jaguars went on a 5-0 scoring run, extending their lead to 11. Jack Bromberg came up big, crossing over his defender and knocking down a huge three. Then, Tyler Farkas, for the Jaguars, caught fire. He had 7 points in the first 5 minutes of the third, as he hit two layups and a clean three pointer. Unfortunately for him and his team, Jonah Dobkin and company were able to match everything on the other end of the floor. The Lions still trailed by 6 at the end of the 3rd quarter.
Tyler Farkas continued to try and bring his team back in the game in the fourth. The Jaguars and the Lions took turns scoring throughout the majority of the fourth. Then, with a minute and a half left in the game, the Jaguars pulled away again. Jonah Dobkin drove down the lane, hit a contested layup, and extended his team's lead to nine. Down by nine, the Lions moved to the fouling game, but they had no hopes of winning, as there was only 48 seconds left on the clock. Ethan Stubington finished them off, as he hit two free throws and extended the lead to 12 with ten seconds left. The Jaguars won with a final score of 59-47. Jonah Dobkin was their high scorer with 23 points. The high scorer for the Lions was Tyler Farkas with 19.

Background: Mental health of those with ischemic heart disease (IHD) has been a focus of attention of researchers since it has always been considered as a psychosomatic disorder. The present study was designed to investigate mental health status of a group of patients before and after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG).
Materials and Methods: In this longitudinal descriptive study 63 candidates for CABG, referred by cardiologist and cardiac surgeon in a 6 month period were asked to take part in the study if they didn't have any exclusion criteria. The patients were the out-patients of cardiac clinics in Shiraz, Iran. The patients were assessed by general health questionnaire (GHQ-28) and beck depression inventory (BDI) at 3 phases, before surgery, 1 month after surgery and three months after surgery.
Results: The analysis did not show significant statistical change in GHQ-28 and BDI measures before and after CABG. There were statistically significant differences in the mentioned measures between male and female participants in initial assessment, i.e., women scores were higher than men in distress scores measured by GHQ-28 and BDI.
Conclusion: In our study, we observed no statistically significant differences between pre and post operation in general health and depression scales. However women showed higher degrees of depressed mood at any step of assessment.

David Bowie, ah!
Picture in my desk at school.
Have the album cover of Hunky Dory in a frame in my kitchen.
On the loose theme of songs with stars in them. Here is todays contribution.
This is such a fine video…another advert from the rocking bass player ( never ever please can sideburns back into fashionable circles) Bowie is completely magnificent in this.
and then a fairly recent rendition ( 29 years after the original) with Bowie still looking and sounding gorgeous…I don't think you ever get over your first crush and he was mine.

Silver Wellingtons on the Underground
Back to public transport, I have been collecting all my train tickets this year and here they are! (well most of them apart from the ones that went in the laundry)
Having had a Big Wellie blog last week, I had to share with you these silver wellies I saw on the London Underground yesterday. Wild and very shiny! But not a speck of mud on them anywhere.
I wonder if they have been anywhere near a muddy field. Perhaps they are about to go to the Glastonbury Festival, and get all loved and mudded up. At the moment they look like one of the cyber men's footwear. Cool and very shiny. Would look great with a silver shiny shell suit! And in London you could get away with wearing an outfit like that and you would not get a second look!

13th June – Song of the Day
SONG OF THE DAY Life on Mars? -David Bowie
Now I have posted this song before, and I shall probably post it again, as it was the seminal track for my teenage years, and it never hurts to listen to it again! A model in how to write a sing about absolutely nothing, but it still moves me. I am adding a link so you can find out loads of interesting anoraky facts about how this song came about!

99 Years ago Today…….
First of all a big heart out to all the Massachusettians affected by the tornado. A big thumbs up to Massachusetts who on this day 99 years ago became the first State in America to set a minimum wage. In 2004, Massachusetts became the first U.S. state to legally recognize same-sex marriage. So today we are flying a big flag for the State of Massachusetts. If you are not sure where it is, it is above New York on the East Coast, and Boston is the Capital of Massachusetts….is there not a shortening for the state name, as a mild dyslexic, I am finding it really really difficult to keep typing Massachusetts correctly!
Also 89 years ago in the U.S 1919 U.S.A. 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guaranteed women the right to vote, was passed by Congress. Six years before, on the same date, in England – Emily Davidson a suffragette ran out in front of King George's horse, at the Epsom Derby. She was trampled, never regained consciousness and died a few days later. Britain had given women over the age of 30 the vote a year before the US, but took 10 years before to abolish the age qualification and put men and women on an equal footing.The first country to give the vote to women was New Zealand in 1893. So a bit of a holler for NZ too!
There! lots of useful and exciting facts about this day, the 4th of June.
DAVID BOWIE – SUFFRAGETTE CITY
I was once in a club in London called White Trash in about 1982 and someone said 'David Bowie's over there'…I turned round too late…he had gone! One of the most disappointing moments of my younger life, as I had and have been been a big fan…forever. He was the first and only man to have his picture in my desk at school.

U.S. Rep. Al Green ranted at bank CEOs during a House Financial Services Committee hearing last week. It's like he wanted to one-up Rep. Maxine Waters on embarrassing comments.
Green has been known to be openly racist and is another Democrat whose overstayed his welcome in Congress. Is there anything more racist than Green demanding that the men testify to their race?
Listen below, and you'll see Green in action asking the most outrageous questions of the bank CEOs.
He continued to berate the men he demanded that they raise a hand…"All of you".
The hypocrisy is huge because Green is a supporter of the racist Minister Farrakhan and was pictured in a bear hug with him during a private meeting with members of the Congressional Black Caucus.
Texas Congressman Green was constantly calling for the impeachment of President Trump and was one of two Congressman who actually signed onto legislation to impeach the president last year.

Scaled Subprofile Modeling and Convolutional Neural Networks for the Identification of Parkinson's Disease in 3D Nuclear Imaging Data

Over the last years convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have shown remarkable results in different image classification tasks, including medical imaging. One area that has been less explored with CNNs is Positron Emission Tomography (PET). Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography (FDG-PET) is a PET technique employed to obtain a representation of brain metabolic function. In this study we employed 3D CNNs in FDG-PET brain images with the purpose of discriminating patients diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (PD) from controls. We employed Scaled Subprofile Modeling using Principal Component Analysis as a preprocessing step to focus on specific brain regions and limit the number of voxels that are used as input for the CNNs, thereby increasing the signal-to-noise ratio in our data. We performed hyperparameter optimization on three CNN architectures to estimate the classification accuracy of the networks on new data. The best performance that we obtained was accuracy = 0.86 and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC ROC) = 0.94 on the test set. We believe that, with larger datasets, PD patients could be reliably distinguished from controls by FDG-PET scans alone and that this technique could be applied to more clinically challenging tasks, like the differential diagnosis of neurological disorders with similar symptoms, such as PD, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) and Multiple System Atrophy (MSA).

Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer est une commune française, située dans le département du Calvados en région Normandie, peuplée de  (les Saint-Laurentais).

Géographie
Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer est une commune littorale de la mer de la Manche, située dans le pays du Bessin, à  de Bayeux. Couvrant , son territoire est le moins étendu du canton de Trévières.

Climat
Le climat qui caractérise la commune est qualifié, en 2010, de « climat océanique franc », selon la typologie des climats de la France qui compte alors huit grands types de climats en métropole. En 2020, la commune ressort du type « climat océanique » dans la classification établie par Météo-France, qui ne compte désormais, en première approche, que cinq grands types de climats en métropole. Ce type de climat se traduit par des températures douces et une pluviométrie relativement abondante (en liaison avec les perturbations venant de l'Atlantique), répartie tout au long de l'année avec un léger maximum d'octobre à février.

Les paramètres climatiques qui ont permis d'établir la typologie de 2010 comportent six variables pour les températures et huit pour les précipitations, dont les valeurs correspondent à la normale 1971-2000. Les sept principales variables caractérisant la commune sont présentées dans l'encadré ci-après.

Avec le changement climatique, ces variables ont évolué. Une étude réalisée en 2014 par la Direction générale de l'Énergie et du Climat complétée par des études régionales prévoit en effet que la  température moyenne devrait croître et la pluviométrie moyenne baisser, avec toutefois de fortes variations régionales. Ces changements peuvent être constatés sur la station météorologique de Météo-France la plus proche, « Englesqueville », sur la commune d'Englesqueville-la-Percée, mise en service en 1971 et qui se trouve à  à vol d'oiseau, où la température moyenne annuelle est de  et la hauteur de précipitations de  pour la période 1981-2010.
Sur la station météorologique historique la plus proche, « Caen-Carpiquet », sur la commune de Carpiquet, mise en service en 1945 et à , la température moyenne annuelle évolue de  pour la période 1971-2000 à  pour 1981-2010, puis à  pour 1991-2020.

Urbanisme

Typologie
Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer est une commune rurale. Elle fait en effet partie des communes peu ou très peu denses, au sens de la grille communale de densité de l'Insee.

Par ailleurs la commune fait partie de l'aire d'attraction de Bayeux, dont elle est une commune de la couronne. Cette aire, qui regroupe , est catégorisée dans les aires de moins de .

La commune, bordée par la baie de Seine, est également une commune littorale au sens de la loi du , dite loi littoral. Des dispositions spécifiques d'urbanisme s'y appliquent dès lors afin de préserver les espaces naturels, les sites, les paysages et l'équilibre écologique du littoral, comme par exemple le principe d'inconstructibilité, en dehors des espaces urbanisés, sur la bande littorale des , ou plus si le plan local d'urbanisme le prévoit.

Occupation des sols

L'occupation des sols de la commune, telle qu'elle ressort de la base de données européenne d'occupation biophysique des sols Corine Land Cover (CLC), est marquée par l'importance des territoires agricoles (78,2 % en 2018), une proportion sensiblement équivalente à celle de 1990 (78,7 %). La répartition détaillée en 2018 est la suivante :
terres arables (45,9 %), prairies (32,3 %), zones urbanisées (18,9 %), espaces ouverts, sans ou avec peu de végétation (2,2 %), forêts (0,7 %).

L'IGN met par ailleurs à disposition un outil en ligne permettant de comparer l'évolution dans le temps de l'occupation des sols de la commune (ou de territoires à des échelles différentes). Plusieurs époques sont accessibles sous forme de cartes ou photos aériennes : la carte de Cassini (), la carte d'état-major (1820-1866) et la période actuelle (1950 à aujourd'hui).

They're the snarlers and the growlers.. the ghar ka rakhwallas…and family members. A dog is a star's best chum.. and what do you know? Nowadays, the pooches are kept as far away from the paparazzi..as possible.
Gone are the days when celebrities were snapped with their pet pooches in flashlights. They're adopted from care centres, hospitals, at times rescued from the roadside.. and loved.
Nearly 70 per cent of the Hindi film and television industry is known to own at least one dog if not more. Some consider the canines to be more reliable than human companions while others adopt them because they are genuine dog lovers.
Says Udita Goswami, "I agree we've become a pet-friendly industry but that has nothing to do with stardom. You have to love your pet, otherwise neither the animal nor you will be happy I've kept dogs as . pets all my life. I have five she-dogs and one male dog.. of them three are in Mumbai, the others are in Delhi with my family ."
Sushmita Sen owns half a dozen dogs of various breeds. Rishi Kapoor dotes on Dudley and Pugley. Ditto Rani Mukherji on Tin Tin and Simba, and Urmila Matondkar on Loco.
Abhishek Bachchan has an oversized canine called Shanook. Raakhee once had hounds that attacked any tresspasser in her Khar bungalow. Today she has one dog called Pari. Gulzar has Pali.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali's pet is called Happiness. Shah Rukh Khan doted on Chewbacca. Today Gauri and their kids (Aryan and Suhana) are dog lovers.
Fardeen Khan owns two dogs, Lola and Delphi. Apparently, they're treated to lamb chops from a Juhu restaurant daily. Tusshar Kapoor is said to have got diamond collars made for his pets Whisky and Risky.
Celina Jaitly has three dogs of different breeds. Esha Deol's pooch is called Piccola. Arjun Rampal has two dogs -Demi and Tyson. Bobby Deol's dog is called Brownie.
Kim Sharma's Savanna has her own maid. "There has always been a domestic help exclusively for her because I'm not around the whole day to look after her," the actress says.
And adds, "The domestic help ensures that Savanna's fixed routine is maintained. Once when I didn't have a domestic help for a while, I made sure I didn't leave her alone. When she was teething, she would cry and not sleep at night. I kept up with her. It's like having a child. Whatever you do to pamper them is not enough."
Ashish Chaudhary owns a pug called Hug for whom he buys the expensive toys. He beams, "I'm the pampering papa and my wife Samita is the strict mum. Hug is on top of the world when we're with him. We celebrate his birthday every year. We take him out shopping. At Paws n Furs, they let him lick every item he wants, and we pay the bill. He's a shopaholic like me. He loves to socialise too."
Salman Khan's dogs, Myson and Myjaan, travel with him on locations outside India with their own chefs.
On the topic of pets, Dino Morea says, "All they need is to be fed well and loved and caressed. They need your affection. I bought my dogs, Sly, Patch and Slidey raincoats this year. I make sure I give them all the time I can."
Preity Zinta has a female bull dog Lola which has its own recreational area, complete with plants. Talk is that Aishwarya Bachchan's dog Sunshine has received marriage proposals by the dozen- rumour is that not many guests will be invited.
Raveena Tandon Thadani's dog got tremendous publicity in the newspapers.. when it went missing. Lara Dutta's dogs are chauffered in air-conditioned cars. Upen Patel buys his adopted canines branded collars and often insists that they drink mineral water. Rekha doted on her Pishti for years.. and now has a dog called Shiva and a cat called Bhaiyu.
Bipasha Basu, like most showbiz townies, buys clothes and accessories for Poshto during her trips to London and New York. "The variety you get in pet stores abroad is unimaginable," Kim Sharma raves. "You can buy the most unusual accessories and dog food in London, New York and Dubai."
Star pets are often groomed at specialised beauty salons. Tailwaggers of Bandra treats about 35 celebrity dogs in a day. The pets of Salman Khan, Upen Patel, Esha Deol, Vivek Oberoi, Arjun Rampal, Preity Zinta, Boman Irani and Fardeen Khan are among the regulars.
Urmila Dabholkar, its coowner says, "After getting a brief from a pet parent, we suggest grooming or cutting based on the dog's coat type, condition and the climate the dog lives in. The dog should not only look good but also feel comfortable."
Treatments at TailWaggers Pet Salon include haircuts, conditioning baths, medicated baths, tick and flea control treatments, detangling treatments, nail cutting, ear cleaning, teeth brushing, oil massages and aroma-therapy rinses and manicures.
Apart from toys, kennels, feeding bowls and collars, dog products include special perfumes, colognes, shampoos, shoes, scarves, raincoats and fancy goggles too.
The cost of maintainance is quite high. The least one can spend on a pet dog is about Rs 2000 per month without any pampering. Otherwise, sky is the limit.
Dog groomers advise all their clients to keep a regular check on their pets for ticks, fleas and skin problems.
It's always advisable to keep a dog's eyes and ears clean and nails clipped. Unconditional love for pets is the most important element.. after all they are a star's best friend.


The spacious and gorgeous 30 sqm room is a perfect combination of functionality, artistry, comfort and elegance. Abundant sunlight shines lids through the large windows and illuminates its modern design and beautiful furnishing. Enjoy the enchanting atmosphere and the pleasant view Wuxi city.

Cincinnati, OH – The Lions took the court at Cintas Center on the campus of Xavier University to take on UC Clermont in the fourth annual Lauren Hill Tip-Off Classic. The match was in memory of the late Lauren Hill and was an opportunity to spread awareness for DIPG while raising money for cancer research. Lauren was a basketball player at the Mount who developed a rare form of pediatric cancer and rallied the world around her cause. In the Lions fourth annual match they made a statement and easily defeated the Cougars of UC Clermont 79-34.
The first quarter was a close battle as neither team was able to pull away. Both teams traded points and finished the first quarter 17-16. Lainee Studer (Pleasant Plain, OH / Little Miami) led the Lions in the first quarter with six points, three rebounds, and two steals. Starting the second quarter neither team was able to find the bottom of the net. UC Clermont would take a 18-17 lead but the Lions caught fire, going on a 16-2 run with 2 minutes remaining. The Lions held their opponents to six points in the quarter and would take a 38-22 lead going into the half.
The Lions continued their stellar play in the second half, once again holding their opponents to only 12 points in the last two quarters combined. Alehia Tucker (Covington, KY / Holy Cross) led the Lions on offense in the third quarter, scoring 11 of her 15 points in the third quarter. Going into the fourth quarter the Lions held a 63-28 lead over UC Clermont but kept the pressure on the cougars going into the final minutes. The Lions held strong and defeated UC Clermont 79-34 to improve their record to 1-1.
Studer was the leader for the Lions on both ends of the court, almost earning an unconventional triple double with 19 points, nine rebounds, nine steals and six assists. Maddie Haberthy (Cincinnati, OH / Mother of Mercy) was another offensive weapon for the Lions, earning 19 points and six rebounds. The Lions next match will be Wednesday, November 28th at 7:00PM at the Harrington Center on the campus of Mount St. Joseph University.

Luis del Olmo Marote (Ponferrada, 31 de enero de 1937) es un periodista y locutor de radio español, considerado como una de las grandes instituciones periodísticas del país. Durante 44 años dirigió y presentó el programa radiofónico Protagonistas, el más longevo en la historia de la radio española con más de 12 000 programas, que se inició en 1969.

Trayectoria
Tiene una larga trayectoria profesional que se remonta a sus años de adolescencia cuando hizo sus primeras incursiones en el mundo de las ondas, a través de Radio Juventud en su localidad natal. En 1962, en Madrid, tras haber estudiado ingeniería de minas, se incorpora por oposición a la cadena radiofónica Radio Nacional de España. Seis años después se instala en Barcelona. En RNE se hizo cargo, desde el 1 de julio de 1973 del célebre espacio Protagonistas, un magacín de 4 horas de duración, que en su primera etapa se llamó De costa a costa. Desde marzo de 1982 presentó simultáneamente el programa Hora Punta de la también pública Radiocadena española. Sin embargo, en enero de 1983 se vio forzado a abandonar el programa De costa a costa, en aplicación de la Ley de Incompatibilidades. Pocos días después se despedía también de RCE, al ser contratado por la Cadena COPE. Desde el 1 de febrero comienza a emitir Protagonistas, vosotros para la emisora propiedad de la Conferencia Episcopal Española, a través de Radio Miramar.

En 1991 vuelve a cambiar de emisora, al integrarse a la entonces recién creada Onda Cero, donde permanece hasta 2004. De ahí pasa, siempre con su espacio Protagonistas a Punto Radio.

Tras la desaparición de Punto Radio en 2013, vuelve a incorporarse con su espacio emblemático en la emisora pública Radio Nacional de España desde mayo de 2013.

Destaca también su faceta como empresario radiofónico. En 1983 fue uno de los impulsores de Ràdio Salut, junto a José María Ballvé, Jorge Arandes y Francisco Palasí aunque pocos años después se desvinculó del proyecto. En 1991 puso en marcha Onda Rambla en Barcelona, con la que ha llegado a crear una cadena con 13 emisoras repartidas por toda la geografía catalana.

El 13 de diciembre de 2013 deja su oficio de locutor radiofónico jubilándose después de más de medio siglo frente a los micrófonos. Así lo anunció ese mismo día en un programa de RNE. Desde entonces, sigue vinculado al medio radiofónico como presidente de honor de la Academia Española de la Radio  y colaborando activamente en la promoción del Día Mundial de la Radio.

Premios Protagonistas y Micrófonos de Oro. Museo de la Radio

Desde 1997 se entregan anualmente en Barcelona los Premios Protagonistas, organizados por Onda Rambla y en los que Luis del Olmo ejerce de anfitrión, que premian a los protagonistas más destacados de cada ámbito de la actualidad. El acto finaliza con un almuerzo con platos típicos de El Bierzo y la imposición de la capa de cofrade de la Cofradía del Botillo a algún insigne personaje.

Es anfitrión a su vez, de los Premios Micrófono de Oro, creados en el año 2003 y que se celebran anualmente en Ponferrada dentro de la Semana Nacional de la Radio y que son concedidos por la Federación de Asociaciones de Radio y Televisión. En ese mismo año, se inauguró el Museo de la Radio "Luis del Olmo" en Ponferrada, con proyecto de Jesús Álvarez Courel, director del museo hasta su marcha en 2008. Fue inaugurado por el presidente de la Junta de Castilla y León, Juan Vicente Herrera.

Compromiso frente al terrorismo
El discurso de Luis del Olmo frente al terrorismo y su denuncia y repulsa, le convirtieron en uno de los periodistas amenazados por la banda terrorista ETA. El etarra Fernando García Jodrá, convirtió a Del Olmo, con el visto bueno de la organización, en su objetivo personal, e intentó atentar contra su persona hasta en ocho ocasiones entre junio y diciembre de 2000.

Polémicas
Tras la victoria electoral de José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero en 2004, Luis del Olmo se mostró muy crítico con la línea editorial de la COPE y, en especial, con el periodista Federico Jiménez Losantos, a quien llegó a llamar Pequeño talibán de sacristía, y le llegó a comparar con Queipo de Llano.

Años después, en una entrevista para el programa La noria el 23 de abril de 2011 admitió que las relaciones con Losantos ahora estaban normalizadas, al mismo tiempo que le felicitó por su trabajo y le deseó suerte en esRadio.

Rain gardens can be an integral part of our storm water management and environmental approach. Their use doesn't involve a lot of centralized planning. They don't require much space, can be fitted into any shape or shapes, and can be readily added to existing building sites. They look nice, and you don't need to be an engineer to build one. Anyone can make a rain garden. Be sure to check out the rain gardens at the Green Oak Charter Township Hall. Below are links to information and websites if you are considering a rain garden or are just interested in the environment or storm water management.

With nearly 70 years of pump manufacturing experience, Ampco remains the best choice for the harsh conditions and corrosion resistance required for marine and industrial applications.
In 1914, the American Metal Products Company was launched as the result of an innovative discovery of a new bronze alloy. As business grew, the company was renamed AMPCO Metal.
AMPCO Metal initiated a pumps division in 1948 using the metals produced by the parent company to build industrial centrifugal pumps primarily for saltwater applications. The Division was a natural extension of AMPCO Metal's excellence in products being used for military operations, especially on barges and ships for the United States Navy.
As the company expanded, the Pumps Division was spun off from AMPCO Metals to launch Ampco Pumps – a company committed to excellence in the engineering and production of pumps. In 1995, under new ownership, Ampco Pumps leveraged its pump market and engineering expertise to diversify its product offerings by expanding into the sanitary pump market. The shift in focus resulted in tremendous growth and multiple plant and manufacturing expansions over the next 20 years and continues to drive the company forward.
Over the past decade, Ampco launched a new division, Ampco Applied Products. This Division is focused on creating efficient commercial mixing and blending products built around Ampco's industry-leading pumps. From powder mixers and shear blenders to dry blenders and powder inducers, the AAP group has introduced products that make hard to handle media easier and more effectively processed.
Today, Ampco Pumps serves a wide variety of industries and applications across the globe, excelling and growing in the sanitary markets of food, beverage, dairy processing, cosmetics and personal care products, pharmaceuticals, and beyond.
Ampco's success and growth are attributed to excellence in product engineering, superior customer service, and decades of products performing in the toughest marine and industrial conditions. Over the last two decades, Ampco has built a stellar reputation of delivering distinctive performance products to the pharmaceutical, chemical, and craft brewing industries.
What makes Ampco Pumps different is its people. In a time when employment longevity is a thing of the past, Ampco is fortunate to keep great talent. Ampco is comprised of teams of people who believe in our products, know the competition, and have deep and rich experience with end users and the application challenges they face.
Our seasoned, dedicated teams make Ampco a responsive and flexible company able to consistently meet customers' needs – and exceed expectations. It's also how we're able to provide a high level of product customization required to enhance clients' production capabilities.
Ampco is always looking to the future. As we continue to explore avenues for growth, maintaining our commitment to product excellence and superior customer service is vital.
Most recently Ampco has expanded its footprint with our international facility in Europe. Ampco GmbH is a sales, light manufacturing and assembly facility located in Herxheim, Germany. Ampco has also expanded its highly regarded remanufacturing program with the addition of a Stockton, California location.
Currently, our main factory in Glendale, Wisconsin consists of 65,000 square feet equipped with over 17 state-of-the-art machining centers, in-house welding, polishing, and assembly.
With every new acquisition and expansion, Ampco Pumps reinforces its commitment and dedication to creating the highest-quality pumps in the world.


I honestly haven't driven this much over the past 2 weeks as its been very very very rainy in Northern Florida. I was supposed to drive up to TN and run the tail of the dragon last a little over a week ago but I had to bail last minute as the AC (or what Lotus calls AC) died on me. Just needed a recharge and a fuse swap.
Anyways, I've had this weird rattle on deceleration that I've been chasing down and based on what Ive heard and some recommendation on the forms I decided to replace the motor mounts.
Decided to upgrade to some stiffer mounts from Innovative.
It took care of the rattle on decel but my god does the rest of the car rattle at idle and low rpms now.
Might switch back to the hem front mount for street use. A few guys have runt this setup and said its a good mix for street use.
I've also got a bunch more parts on order (and a bad habit of ordering more), so if you want to stay up to date on my Lotus adventures and you have an account on the instagram, follow me @car_is_mi for more random Lotus stuff (and sometimes my other cars).


Clark County Fire Station 61, previously Station 16, was constructed in 1979 and is not amenable to the current operations of the Clark County Fire Department.
The project will demolish the existing Fire Station 61 and will be replaced with a new fire station on the same site.
The intent is to provide the surrounding community with a modern 10,311-square-foot fire station equipped to provide optimum protection and prevention for the community.
The project includes three apparatus bays, a kitchen and dining area, captains room, exercise and fitness room, day room entertainment area, storage area, 12 private sleeping quarters, private shower rooms, utility and clean room, an outdoor living space, among other features.


And after 8 hours or so with a rotary, wool pad, M105 and with about 3000 rpm and 15 to 20 lbs. pressure. Then lower speed and pressure and go back over railing again so to remove the buffer trail/ holograms on aluminum.
Thought I was really going to be in trouble with the top but here's some test spots using Meguiars Ultimate Compound on a terry towel and about 20 seconds of rubbing by hand.
And same technique on other side.
My question Mike, is the tubing at the top is worse then the bottom and I've had to use 0000 steel wool with M105 on it and rub what seams like forever and then buff but not really doing any good. Would Marine 31 metal polish be alot more aggressive then Meguiars M105?
And/or what would you use in a case like this? I'm wasting why to much time to try to get every inch of these bars to a mirror shine to all blend in together.
Will get some pics of the condition of tubing and post up so you can get a better ideal, Thanks!
My question Mike, is the tubing at the top is worse then the bottom and I've had to use 0000 steel wool with M105 on it and rub what seams like forever and then buff but not really doing any good.
While any decent automotive compound will abrade oxidized aluminum and in so doing remove the oxidized material to uncover a harder, smoother shinier aluminum surface, abrasive technology more tuned for metal will work faster and better.
M105 is a SMAT product, that means Super Micro Abrasive Technology. This abrasive technology was a real game changer when it was introduced to the body shop industry as well as car detailing industry because it has the ability to cut fast and finish out like a quality fine cut polish.
Traditionally, most aggressive compounds will cut fast but they don't finish out like a quality fine cut polish but instead leave the paint looking scratched and scoured meaning more steps would still be required to create a customer pleasing finish.
A quality metal compound or polish will cut fast and even faster than a compound made for thin, scratch-sensitive clearcoat paints. A quality metal compound and polish will also work faster by hand.
Would Marine 31 metal polish be a lot more aggressive then Meguiars M105?
And/or what would you use in a case like this? I'm wasting way too much time to try to get every inch of these bars to a mirror shine to all blend in together.
I would use the Marine 31 Finish Cut Metal Restoring Polish with a wool pad on a rotary buffer.
If you're seeing swirl patterns left in the aluminum that's the nature of a rotary buffer when using things that cut, that would be the wool fibers of a wool cutting pad and the abrasives in the polish.
To remove the swirls simply hand apply the polish with a little elbow grease and a terry cloth applicator pads. You can try to re-polish with a foam cutting pad and the metal polish but as long as you're using a rotary buffer you'll likely see some type of swirl pattern in the metal.
Another option would be to use some type of dual action polisher with foam at high speeds to do a "finishing step" to remove the swirl pattern left by the rotary buffer.
For rails like you're working on I've had good luck to just quickly rub the tops visible surfaces by hand with the same polish but use some terry cloth to applying the polish and rub hard for a few seconds in a back and forth or straight line motion over the rails.
A couple of years ago I buffed out some stainless steel fender skirts using a wool pad and a metal polish and while this combo removed years of oxidation, light rust and swirls and scratches it also left holograms in the stainless steel.
I simply re-polished the stainless steel fender skirts by hand using the same polish and was able to remove the holograms as they tend to be very shallow.
Thanks for your help, as always greatly appreciated.
Will be ordering 2 things of Marine 31 Finish cut metal restoring polish and 3 wool twisted pads.
Will be going back to the boat to start polishing the painted surfaces and gel coat, and wait for the metal polish to come in.
Starting to get a nice little arsenal of Marine 31 products, lets just hope that I can get started in boat detailing!
Sorry to possibly hijack the post but does anything get out the pitting that gets on the aluminum. Don't know if that is the right word. But when I rub my hand on the hard top legs there are some rough spots.
Sanding the aluminum will level the surface. There's no practical way to fill in the pitting or voids where aluminum has corroded.
You could smooth the rough surface over with paint, using paint to fill in the pitting or voids. Probably not the best option for your project.

Morocco's Red City: Touristic Places in Marrakech You Must Visit
Marrakech is one of Morocco's most touristic locations, a city that offers many impressive attractions and must-visit places. The red city catches the eyes of millions of people across the world every single year.

From its famous cultural square busy with performers and musicians to its enchanting rooftop restaurants with exquisite traditional Moroccan dishes, every corner in Marrakech will offer you an authentic Moroccan experience.
Founded in 1070 by Emir Abu Bakr Ibn Umar in the Almoravid dynasty, Marrakech is the fourth largest city and one of the four imperial cities in Morocco besides Meknes, Fes, and Rabat. Even the name Morocco itself is derived from the name of the city of Marrakech.

Jemaa El Fna square is the soul of Marrakech city, the location that never sleeps. It is always bustling with chaotic yet fun and vibrant energy. The main square is the most important attraction, one that is impossible to miss during your trip.
According to the locals, the square's name means the assembly of the deaths, which itself gives the attraction a more unique and exotic perspective than other regions in the city.
During the day, the square offers several performers showing off their skills and talents, either by singing, performing acrobatics, playing different musical instruments, telling stories or jokes in circles (Halqa) around the square. There are also the snake charmer, fortune teller, henna artist, and other performers and artists that make Marrakech a must-visit place.
At night, Jemaa El Fna turns into a large open-air restaurant with smoke rising from its 40 grills in small dining stalls filled with locals and tourists. A large number of stalls offer a variety of traditional Moroccan food including vegetable or lamb tagine, fried fish, grilled meat and Morocco's famous harira soup.
Souk Market

Located within the medina of Marrakech, the souk is a must-visit place where you can explore Morocco's market and the different original handmade products sold in local shops.
In the souk, you can purchase the perfect souvenir or home decor to take home with you and give your own place a Moroccan touch. You can find thick hand-made Amazigh (Berber) carpets with different designs and colors as well as traditional clothing made with various fabrics including locally-produced leather.

Located in the heart of the mdina, the Koutoubia mosque is the largest mosque in the city. It was built over eight centuries ago during the Almohad dynasty. The mosque was laid with red bricks to make a 75 meters high tower that is visible from nearly 30 kilometers away, making it the highest point inMarrakech.
The tower illustrates gorgeous Moorish designs and ornaments with keystone arches and symmetric proportions and decorated with gleaming brass. The mosque takes its name from the numerous booksellers that used to surround the Mosque when it was first built.
Like most mosques in Morocco, non-Muslims are not allowed to enter the Koutoubia mosque. However, the attraction still remains a must-visit place in Marrakech for visitors to observe from the outside, you can also rest in the gardens next to the mosque.
El Badi palace

Built in the 16th century by Saadian Sultan Ahmed El- Mansour, the ruins of the El Badi palace are said to have been one of the grandest and most beautiful palaces in Morocco with 300 rooms and gold-decorated walls.
The must-visit vast ruins of the ancient palace are one of Marrakech's most touristic places for its rich historic background and special view. The palace is designed in Moorish style in red stones and brick and beautiful tiles.
The palace was destroyed by sultan Moulay Ismail who carried the gold to Meknes, the next capital of Morocco, leaving just remains of the once magnificent palace, green gardens and vast pools. In the few tower ramparts, you get to see beautiful panoramic views of the medina.
Jardin Majorelle

Jardin Majorelle is one of the must-visit places in Marrakech. It was designed by the French painter Jacque Majorelle in 1924 and owned by French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent and his partner Piere Bergé after the painter's death in 1962.
The botanical garden has a variety of green plants and trees that decorate the garden and surround a beautiful blue and yellow art villa designed by Jacques Majorelle adding to the garden's unique appeal. The garden includes a large collection of 300 plant species including cacti, palms, and ferns.
In Majorelle's blue art villa you will find a beautiful showcase of some 600 artifacts that illustrates Moroccan Amazigh's heritage and history. After Yves Saint Laurent's death in 2008, his ashes were scattered in the garden.
In 2017, the Musée Yves Saint Laurent opened its doors to the public next to the garden dedicated to the French designer's legacy and showcasing hundreds of his works.
Must visit Marrakech places: Ben Youssef madrasa. Photo: Michal Osmenda
Ben Youssef madrassa is a must-visit place in Marrakesh and the largest theological college in Morocco. The Saadians built the Islamic school in 1565 with several rooms around a small internal courtyard, done in the signature Islamic architecture that is also found around the medina of Marrakech.
Re-constructed in 1565, the school offers a perfect showcase of Moroccan design and architecture with colorful zellige tiling, stalactite ceiling, carved wooden doors, and Kufic inscriptions across the school giving the school its beautiful Islamic historical view.
The school is one of the most important schools in Morocco's history with 130 rooms that used to welcome 900 students specialized in religious studies.
Saadian Tombs

Located in a closed garden, the Saadian tombs were built in the 16th century and designed by Sultan Ahmad al-Mansur as a royal necropolis for the Saadian sultans and their family members. The site was opened in 1917 when the French rediscovered it using aerial photographs.
The must-visit place is one of the most touristic sites in Marrakech where approximately 60 members of the Saadi dynasty rest in tombs decorated with beautiful colored mosaics. Inside the mausoleum, there are three chambers.
The chamber of three niches and the most famous in the mausoleum has 12 marble columns, and walls covered with geometric patterns of zellige. This chamber hosts the mosaic tombs of Sultan Ahmad Mansour's three children.
