Array-ne Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar is an Indian cricketer who was rated in an article by Wisden in 2002 as the second greatest Test batsman ever, after Sir Don Bradman. After another Test series defeat, this time by a 0-2 margin at home against South Africa, Tendulkar resigned, and Sourav Ganguly took over as captain in 2000.Tendulkar made 673 runs in 11 matches in the 2003 World Cup, helping India reach the final. But doubts were raised once again when he averaged a mere 21 over three Test innings when India toured Pakistan in 2006.On 6 February 2006, Tendulkar scored his 39th ODI hundred, in a match against Pakistan. He followed with a run-a-ball 42 in the second ODI against Pakistan on February 11, 2006, and then a 95 in hostile, seaming conditions on 13 February, 2006 in Lahore, which set up an Indian victory.On 19 March 2006, after scoring an unconvincing 1 off 21 balls against England in the first innings of the third Test in his home ground, Wankhede, Tendulkar was booed off the ground by a section of the crowd, the first time that he has ever faced such flak. While cheered on when he came for his second innings, Tendulkar, was the top scorer in the second innings and yet was to end the three-Test series without a single half-century to his credit, and news of a shoulder operation raised more questions about his longevity.Tendulkar was operated upon for his injured shoulder forcing him to skip the tour of West Indies in 2006.On 23 May 2006, after deciding not to undergo a scheduled fitness test, he announced he would miss the tour of the Caribbean for the Test series. He had scored 155, 147(retired), 98, 101(retired) & 105 in the 5 matches for Lashings XI with strike rate of well above 100 and was the top scorer in all the matches.Also in his first Twenty20 match with international opposition, although unofficial, Tendulkar hit 50 not out off 21 deliveries to blast the International XI to 123 after 10 overs against the Pakistan XI.However as of July,2006 The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced that the longest-serving international cricketer has overcome his injury problem following a rehabilitation programme and is available for selection.He then came for the DLF cup in Malaysia and became the only Indian batsman to shine. Tendulkar now has 18 more ODI tons than the players who are second on the list of ODI century-makers, Sourav Ganguly and Sanath Jayasuriya.Wisden named Tendulkar one of the Cricketers of the Year in 1997, the first calendar year in which he scored 1,000 Test runs. Performance of 4/34 in 10 overs against West Indies in Sharjah where the Windies were bowled out for 145.He single handedly won the ICC 1998 QuarterFinals at Dhaka to pave way for India’s entry into the Semifinals, when he took 4 Australian wickets after scoring 141 runs in just 128 balls.Tendulkar took three wickets on the final day of the famous Kolkata Test against Australia in 2001, which India won after following on, 274 runs behind on the first innings.

-ne It seems like quite a while since I’ve posted anything and a lot has happened since last post so here we go:VLOG Mike and I successfully recorded the first beer vlog on Saturday after we brewed what will surely be an amazing batch of Belgian Strong. So, rule #1 in beer vlogging is ‘always try the beer before you review it.’ We weren’t creative enough to give Westy the credit it deserves. The total running time is going to be close to 10 minutes (after editing) which is 5 minutes longer than I expected. Suggestions?THOUGHTS ON THE EAGLES GAME BREWING Mike and I brewed a 5 gallon batch of Dema-Goddess Ale at Mike’s house last Saturday (recipe from Sam Calagione’s Extreme Brewing). Basically two sugars are used throughout primary and secondary fermentation - pure cane sugar and demara sugar. Original gravity was 1.100 so we could expect a 14%-16% beer if we don’t add additional sugar and yeast. Then, Mike is going to alternate adding 1 oz of each sugar each day for 9 more days. Secondary fermentation lasts another 5 days at which time he pitches more yeast (Rochefort’s strain so it’ll resemble an abbey ale’s spiciness) and alternates the sugars again for 5 more days. The yeast is going crazy after only one day in the carboy as you can tell with the healthy white foam head - good sign. Our next batch will probably be brewed in March and we’re considering doing a Port-Barrel Aged Ale or try to clone a nice Grand Cru to be ready for Christmastime.WiiIs Wii the best video game system ever? Chris made sure I would find out as he brought over his brother’s Wii to play before and after the Eagles game. The Wii is so fun, in fact, that we missed portions of the game after halftime because we couldn’t stop playing. We played the sports games that come with the system - tennis, golf, bowling, and boxing (we didn’t get to baseball.

-ne In the past years the most moving and influential event in my life was when the Boy Scouts Of America decided to discriminate against homosexuals. BSA decided to ban gays even when all of the other youth organizations were not “The Girls Scouts of America, the YMCA, 4-H clubs, Boys & Girls Clubs of America and Jewish community groups, dont exclude gays. BSA also lost over 30,000 in public governmental funding in September 2000 alone after the vote was passed to exclude gays from its organization.At the time of this decision I was a Boy Scout and I was also gay.

1. Brushed my hair two minutes after I got up. Removed a comment someone left me. Read Chapter 3 in Steinbeck’s Grapes Of Wrath. Sat at a pine table. Thought about sex. Looked at books I have never read. Washed fingerprints of my coffee table. Thought about washing my windows. And my favorite blue shirt. Read a clean joke. But wore a hideous red shirt all morning. Sat on my favorite planter. Sat on a brick wall. Thought about sex again. Put on a Toronto Blue Jays t-shirt afterwards. Put a Martina McBride CD in my book bag. Watched my son dig in the sand. Watched Sex and The City for the first time ever.  Put my computer desk in order. Thought about Tarzan. Danced all silly until the kids and I collapsed on the floor in laughter. Watched deaf people talk. Sat in the grass. Talked to my neighbor over the fence for five minutes. Watched Cindy play on my webcam. Put on make-up twice, then gave-up. Woke-up to someone knocking on my door this morning. Went back to bed five minutes later.

We went to the New York Historical Society exhibit, Slavery in New York open until March 26th at the New York Historical Society.From the 1600’s to 1827, it reconstructs the slave trade and its impact first on the Dutch in New York, and then the British, arguing that as many as 20% of New Yorkers were enslaved African-Americans. Thus, it was easier to abolish slavery in New York than it was in the South: in the wake of the American Revolution, every state north of Delaware initiated the abolition of slavery, whereas none of the Southern states did.One other quibble: the introductory video included a quote from Aristotle about slavery being normative.

You wanna know what the toughest part of writing my blog is? Do I write about the Afghan citizen who faces the death penalty for converting to Christianity? Or maybe I should write about the “rescue” of three western hostages in Iraq. Or perhaps I’ll discuss the Pentagon’s consideration of a WRITTEN policy barring the use of evidence obtained through the use of torture – well, duh! There is a clear distinction between supporting a religion, any religion, and supporting social programs that are truly secular. The captors were nowhere to be seen, and not a shot was fired when freeing these men.And I loved the statement that was made by the workers organization, Christian Peacemaker Teams: We believe that the illegal occupation of Iraq by Multinational Forces is the root cause of the insecurity which led to this kidnapping and so much pain and suffering in Iraq… The occupation must end. All the same, the Pentagon is now considering a written policy that would prevent the use of any evidence obtained by means of torture. The treatment of detainees being held in this location is apparently governed by the Detainee Treatment Act of 2005, which does more to protect the government and the military than it does to protect the detainees.Here’s my question… If, as Rummy, Condy, and Bushy have suggested, “we don’t torture”, then why is this proposed rule necessary?

The guy who was supposed to send me my wireless network card also emailed me today–saying he was hospitalized and couldn’t access his email or phone for this whole month time period.

-ne (Going Through A Quarter Life Crisis was posted on www.peyups.com on Thursday, May 15, 2003 @ 12:30:20 PM ) It’s 5 PM and I am going off to work in a couple of hours. To something I promised myself I would leave as soon as possible and now it’s funny I’m still working there after all my declarations that I would rather be unemployed than stay at a job I hated. You see, I made a deal with myself the start of the year that I was going to endure this kind of work for until May, at the very least till April 17th, the end of my VL. I don’t know what I’m complaining about, really. Just bear with me, I’m about to wrap up.) I have come to the obvious conclusion that perhaps it isn’t just me. Unless we’re the breadwinners in our family, (isn’t it obvious I’m not and I’m just milking my family for support even while I’m earning money) what is the point in all of this? There has to be a deeper reason why anyone would bother sticking to this job but since you can’t read minds then I guess I still have countless hours of self-reflection to go. Even more funny is the fact that I can leave whenever I want to really, but I’m just all talk. So much time, so much opportunity but I can’t channel it to anything I’m really sure of. I’m torn between rejoicing in that realization and tearing my hair out in frustration. I’m happy because I already know the root of my problem and frustrated that I am nowhere near an answer. It’s that First Job Syndrome, where you’re just itching to resign and move on to the next job you may want to grow roots at… Whatever the case, I should stop talking and start doing.

-ne I find myself heading into summer having worked incredibly hard during the last several months and feeling pretty good about it. But that is my impulse and having never been really conscious of the need to seduce the establishment, I have neglected to do so.Of course the Russian project Warriors is still the most consuming work I have going, though I am enjoying an occasional foray into other things such as the lithograph Eclipse. As I worked, of course, I could not help but empathize with excruciating immediacy what that would be like, from the impact of the nails to the impact of hanging in such agony until passing out. One will be the figure I delivered to the foundry, a beardless nude which evolved as I worked, the second will be the same figure, bearded, draped and cast into the more traditional form. Doing this work brought me closer to an honest association than I have ever had before because I was stripped of dogma and delivered into that life as a human, full of folly but yearning for ultimate humanity and godliness. Somehow this image is both a mantel we cannot help but assume because of the fundamental pain of being human, and a suggestion of the ultimate selfless life that brings the word spirit to spiritual, and civil to civilization.

Expressions: Destination Unknown

October 19th, 2008 by admin

Array For example, if your husband leaves his clothes on the floor, after you have asked him many times to throw them in the dirty clothes basket and you assume he did this just to spite you or to get back at you for something, you are assuming the negative. If you find yourself frequently assuming the negative about your spouse, it is likely that the negative has overpowered the positive in your marriage and this is a sign that you marriage is in serious touble.So, back to the drive home…I was driving home today and this book came to mind, about assuming the negative or positive about a person’s behavior. God, in His wisdom, knew this and He wanted to spend the time preparing me…when I was ready to let him begin this work.How much time have I wasted in my life by becoming a petulant child, pouting, not praying, not reading my Bible and basically on hold….until I finally get over it and move into the proper waiting position….on my knees, asking God to teach me what I need to learn to prepare me as QUICKLY as possible! Yes, I have prayed this prayer many times and God has faithfully answered it many times. And, when the time comes for Him to answer my prayer, I can always look back and see how He prepared me during that waiting time. The Bible also says that we should appreciate the times we are enduring tribulation because it is a time when we will grow closer to God and He will grow our faith…or something like that. I need to assume the best of God but I also need to humble myself and realize that I am not always ready for the things I ask for, the good things that God wants to give me, and I need to be patient and trust Him to provide what I need, when I need it….because I know He is always faithful and He wants the best for me.

We were married in Kissimmee, Florida, at the Victorian Wedding Chapel (and massage parlor) - NOT to be confused with the current Victorian Wedding Chapel in Kissimmee, which is not the same place - in an El Nino nine-day downpour. Three kids, constant rain (though being from New England, rain and 68 degrees beats snow and 28 degrees any day), seagulls pooping on my mother’s head, horrible free breakfast (well, for me anyway - the kids? We checked into a (name withheld to protect the innocent) in Emporia, VA, then headed out for a quick bite at Shoney’s - probably not the best place for a gluten intolerant person to dine, but I picked around the buffet as carefully as I could. I pulled out the Mac and logged onto the Free Wireless Internet (I love this) to check my email while Mr. Wonderful watched Free Cable (he loves that). We slept, I trotted on the treadmill for a while, and - after scraping the windshield to remove the layer of (stinking, miserable, what was it doing in southern Virginia on my vacation??) frost, we headed for Florida. I don’t think we went on a single ride at Sea World, although they have two good ones - Kraken which is a huge blue steel coaster and Journey to Atlantis, which is a lot of fun. It’s sometimes hard, especially when I see paper napkins being thrown at flamingos and hear adults griping - even after being told why - about the lack of lids and straws (both cam be harmful to animals if ingested). We saw - and most wholeheartedly and vigorously recommend - Cirque Du Soleil La Nouba at Downtown Disney’s West Side. And we had a great deal of fun with the guy sitting a couple of seats over at Cirque, who compensated us for our having to get up and down every time he needed to run for a snack or take the baby to the bathroom by bringing us beer every time he returned. Lolonis’ Ladybug Red at the Garden Grill - a selection I owe to Chip (not to be confused with Dale) who picked it for me, and Jackson-Triggs Proprietor’s Reserve Cabernet (I think or maybe Merlot and I did not write it down what an idiot) at Le Cellier. We saw things we’d never seen before - Soarin’ at Epcot (way cool, had to do it more than once), and Tom Sawyer Island at the Magic Kingdom, among others. I felt very spoiled by Disney Chefs who tirelessly walked buffets with me and went out of their way to prepare things I could eat that would not make me feel not so great. Specifically, Chef Dan at Hollywood and Vine and Chef Donna at Boma made my dining experiences special, comfortable, and a delight. Other chefs were great in making sure I did not eat the wrong thing by accident by letting me know where the hidden gluten was (and there’s a lot of it, surprisingly). It wasn’t long enough - we did not get to do it all, and we have to go back. Who knew!!), Oak-Fired Oh My God I Can’t Believe It’s So Good Rib Eye, and New York Strip Steak.Artist Point - excellent as always, with a great server, Pok, who scratched Mr Wonderful’s back when he could not reach his own itch, and made great fun out of the gluten free thing. This means it’s really good!Boma - Not-to-be-missed Carrot and Ginger soup, Chicken Salad with Cilantro Lime Vinagrette, Durban Spiced Roasted Chicken, and prime rib. One of two places that I had any dessert, I loved the flourless chocolate cake here, and Chef Donna was a repository of knowledge on things gluten free!San Angel Inn - Margarita San Angel Inn, (top shelf, just because) is fantastic and fresh and fruity. Salsa is wonderful, the Sopa Azteca is great, Combinacion Cozumel and Mole Poblano are excellent as well.Rose and Crown - not horrible but not anything to veer off course for. He enjoyed it in spite of his not being a pasta eater.Akershus - A princess lunch with - on that occasion anyway - Aurora, Cinderella, Jasmine, Ariel and Snow White. Some of the food comes from Living With The Land greenhouses which makes me happy, and the selection of organic wines made me feel good, too. Chip, Dale, Mickey and Pluto, all huggy and lovable as always, Chip assisting with the wine selection and Mickey chastizing us for not saving room for dessert when informed by the server that we’d failed him. Great fun!Hollywood and Vine Breakfast Buffet - We’d been here before, twice, when it was Goofy and pals at lunch and dinner. I loved the sausage and the ham - but then I am a bit of a meat freak - and the availability of fresh fruit always gets me joyful.

December 15th and 16th, 2006 - Canes vs. the Leafs AND @ the Lightning: Random Musings and Observations- The most glaring similarities between these two games: The officials (Don’t believe me? Check out here and there), the opponents being ones the Canes should beat, said teams having dark blue as one of their colors, the games starting at 7:30 (highly unusual in the instance of the Canes/Leafs game…usually, 7:30 games at the RBC Center are reserved for Sunday nights), and both games being decided by one goal.- Beef O’Bailey’s looks like a darn good place to eat and drink.- The only reason the Canes managed to win tonight, despite trying their darndest to give away the game in the last minute of the third? Cam Ward. I kept checking to make sure he wasn’t wearing Mickey Mouse ears and sneaking in a Here I am to save the day!! during the more quiet moments of the game.As a matter of fact, Cam was also the reason the Canes actually made it a game against the Leafs. If it weren’t for the Wardo, the Canes, not the Ranjerks, would have been lit up like Christmas trees.All that said, the rest of the Canes need to learn a thing or two or three from Wardo about actually playing hockey, ESPECIALLY for sixty minutes.- Some people can complain about the officiating all they want…but folks, the Canes’ struggles are their own fault, NOT Kerry Fraser and Co.’s. Fraser and all did alright in my book…I did not see a call I did not disagree with. The sad truth of the matter, especially in the Leafs game, AND REALLY, the season overall, is that the Canes have a tendency to be highly undisciplined. And to add insult to that injury, certain Canes are acting like children ice skating for the very first time AND finding out that their Christmas presents don’t have batteries included. Nobody sums that up better than VinnieBagADonuts at The Score Boards…I do have a couple of issues with the calls they DIDNT make, but after the Cole non-call (the right call, IMO), the Canes complicated things by whining incessantly and diving all over the place. Eric Staal spent more time falling on the ice than TinkerBell in the Disney Princess show last week. He got called for one dive, and couldve easily gotten No. 2 on the final offensive zone faceoff of the night.Carolina was stupid and lazy last night, and then compounded that problem by being whiny and arrogant. Nice work boys.I have some advice for them. Shut up and skate. No way the Leafs belong in a run-and-gun game with us. If we just shut up and skate, like we did last year, we beat them 95 times out of 100, regardless of who officiates. Why exactly are they trying to get calls, anyhow? Arent they like 5% lately on the PP? Shut up and skate.”Forget “Whatever It Takes” nowadays…”Shut Up and Skate” should be the new locker room slogan. Taking notes, Lavy? I sure as heck hope you are if you want to win with “the players you got in the room”.Current Music: “Something About Christmas Time” by Bryan AdamsEdit as of 3:50 PM: Many are noting how well Keith Aucoin played last night…especially in the faceoff circle…according to the Raleigh News and Observer:With the Hurricanes struggling in the faceoff circle, he went 7-for-9 in Fridays loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Former Hurricanes captain Ron Francis was in Albany last weekend in his new player-development role and gave Aucoin a 20-minute tutorial in the faceoff circle. Those lessons paid immediate dividends. Aucoin was 3-for-4 on Saturday.Ah…the power of Ron Francis.Current Music as of the edit: White Christmas by The Drifters Labels: beef obaileys, cam ward, keith aucoin, kerry fraser, officiating, rmando, ron francis, shut up and skate, tampa bay lightning, toronto maple leafs

Then they see you turn towards Sir M.V.’s ancestral home and their faces crinkle with that pleasant, all-knowing smile. One has been turned into a museum, displaying several objects and curios from Sir M.V.’s life. The third is a Gift Shop, which was closed, which I presume sells photographs, biographies and the kind relating to Sir M.V.As is customary while entering any traditional Indian household, we had to take off our foot-wear before we entered the museum. That this was once the abode of a great man justified the act and the thought in my mind.As soon as you enter, you are presented with two boards displaying the major events in Sir M.V.’s life. but this time I was forced to move on.Next, you enter a small room displaying several mementos that were presented to Sir M.V. Only on reading this did I realize that Sir M.V.’s fame was not limited to Karnataka alone, and that he is a scholar respected all over India for his vision and dedication to promoting industry within the country.One will find several framed certificates from various universities which have conferred honorary degrees upon Sir M.V. You will also find photographs of Sir M.V., commemorating several occasions, including his being Knighted, along with the various medals that have been awarded to him. But it gave me all the information I wanted and I drew as much inspiration as I could from this glimpse into Sir M.V.’s private life. This time the villagers don’t even bother to throw a glance your way.It’s amazing how I spent 4 years in a University dedicated to the memory of Sir M.V.

Aunque privacy deriva del latín privatus, privacidad se ha incorporado a nuestra lengua en los últimos años a través del inglés, por lo cual el término es rechazado por algunos como un anglicismo y aceptado por otros como un préstamo lingüístico válidoInformation society=>Aquella en la que el poder de nuestras tecnologías electrónicas y genéticas amplifica extraordinariamente el poder de la mente humana y materializa en la realidad nuestros proyectos, nuestras fantasías, nuestros sueños y nuestras pesadillas.ITC=>Conjunto de herramientas, habitualmente de naturaleza electrónica, utilizadas para la recogida, almacenamiento, tratamiento, difusión y transmisión de la informaciónPrivacy international=>Organización de defensa de los derechos humanos creada en 1990 y con sede en Londres que tiene como principal objetivo controlar la acción de gobiernos y empresas en lo que se refiere a la defensa del derecho a la intimidad y privacidad de las personas.Surveillance Society=>Sociedad en la que la actividad pública y privada de las personas está sujeta a variados métodos de vigilancia (legales, ilegales o alegales, públicos o privados), en gran medida a través del uso de la Informática y de las Telecomunicaciones, desde la recogida y digitalización indiscriminada de muestras de ADN a las bases de datos de marketing y desde las cámaras de video situadas en los más variados lugares hasta sofisticados sistemas de satélites como Echelon.

Federal Elections in Switzerland - Elections to the Nationalrat (National Council) has further information on the country’s electoral system, with parliamentary election results from 1971 to 2003.By Western European standards, voter turnout in Swiss parliamentary elections has been decidedly low for many years: since 1979, fewer than fifty percent of the electorate has taken part in successive National Council elections. Meanwhile, the Green Party of Switzerland (GPS/PES) - the largest non-government party - stands to make substantial gains.As in the 2003 general election, SVP/UDC is running on a nationalist, anti-immigration platform, illustrated by a controversial campaign poster that shows three white sheep, one of which is kicking a black sheep off the Swiss flag; Although the United Nations’ xenophobia watchdog has denounced the SVP/UDC campaign poster as openly racist, the violent incident in the Swiss capital could play to the rightist party’s advantage.UpdateComplete election results published by the Swiss Federal Statistical Office’s Elections 2007 website show both the right-wing Swiss People’s Party/Democratic Center Union (SVP/UDC) and the environmentalist Green Party of Switzerland (GPS) made significant seat gains, mainly at the expense of the centrist Free Democratic Party/Radical Democratic Party (FDP/PRD) and the Social Democratic Party of Switzerland/Swiss Socialist Party, which lost considerable ground. Voter turnout increased to 48.3% - the highest in twenty years.While it’s expected the four major parties will remain in grand coalition, the growth of the Green Party raises the possibility the party may seek representation in the Federal Council, Switzerland’s seven-member collegiate presidency.

Marketwatch is blaming it on an 8% plunge in one of the Chinese index’s (I say one of them, because some of the others were up), and that yields on 10 year notes got above 5% for a brief time, making bonds more attractive. Of course, that don’t mean dog, we will probably end up putting a bullish engulfing on it, but none the less that is not a good pattern.

That simple catchphrase sparks the sales of millions of (in my opinion) spendy pairs of shoes, inspires kids and adults alike, and is really the only method I need to get stuff done.Just Do ItOK. I like your stuff- have even owned a few pair in the past, but I have to say that the last time I went in for some running shoes, the sticker-shock had me beatin’ feet back to Costco- where I found a pair of Adidas for 4.99.

Today they scored 67 points on 66 possessions: 1.01 points/possession.– With three of the four factors being pretty much even, the difference in this close game was obviously rebounding. They were just a little more aggressive and probably a little fresher because they were running guys in and out and we couldn’t do that.”Second chance points: UVA 15, NC State 3. McCauley: 0.93 PPWS.– For the fourth straight game, Gavin Grant used over 30% of the team’s possessions while on the court. What Gavin does with all those possessions naturally has a large influence on the team’s overall efficiency; Without Engin, we’ve got four scorers and a fifth guy who basically just takes up space. That fifth man is using very few possessions, a good bit less than Atsur had been using, so that leaves some workload to be redistributed among the other four guys on the court–and those extra possessions are going to Gavin, rightfully or wrongfully.Grant’s turnover rate is fine, and he continues to do a good job getting everyone else involved.

I called the doctor and arrived at the hospital around 2 a.m. Here I am thinking: Hurrah! The doctor finally gets there & decides it would be the best thing to try and stop my labor. Until Miss Guatamala 2006 comes in in labor and they put her next to me. They hook her up to the monitor & her doctor decides she’s not far enough along and she’s discharged shortly after. I swear, this girl has maybe menstruated 3, maybe 4 times in her life. Her water broke, she’s having some bleeding - she’s in labor. It’s a good thing that I only had to sit there and listen to her whine for 15 minutes before my discharge because I probably would have strangled her or her 15-year-old boyfriend.
