Earlier in the century, a Frenchman, Auguste Comte (1798-1857) advocated a philosophy that tied together everything that was knowable through the senses. Comte believed that history had passed through stages of religiosity and was coming into what he called the positivist stage, an age of science. Comte lumped together history and politics, biology and anything else that could be studied empirically into what he called sociology. His sociology consisted of observation and it consisted of experimentation such as altering a segment of society to study its effects. Also it consisted of comparative research, such as animal societies compared to human society and comparing different human societies around the globe. By using sociology, he believed, a new and stable society could be created on scientific principles. It was an illusion. Science was about measuring, categorizing and seeing connections. And together these did not tell people definitively what should be done about it. Comte's sociology produced no blueprint for action that would be accepted widely enough to be politically effective. A sociological reality not adequately considered by Comte was conflicting values. These values might be measured statistically, but they could not be manipulated. Marxists in power and believing in scientific socialism would try, but with something less than absolute success. The scientific socialists would themselves disagree about what was to be done and make a bloody mess of their conflict with each other. Science was one thing; values another. Philosophical differences were not slow in developing among sociologists themselves. Those who followed Comte were less optimistic about their discipline producing the perfect society. Among them was a British philosopher, Herbert Spencer (1820-1903), an avowed "agnostic." He had been an evolutionist before Darwin's publication of Origins of the Species – but without an effective theory of natural selection. Spencer wrote of organisms developing from simple to more complex forms and spoke of this as progress. Spencer, not Darwin, coined the phrase "survival of the fittest," and Darwin, in later editions of his Origins of the Species employed Spencer's phrase. Spencer believed that human behavior was primarily organized toward self-preservation. He assumed that societies had formed by individuals coming together for mutual self-defense and that they remained tied together by a natural sympathy and concern for each other. Humans, he believed, had an innate sense of morality and had developed a compassion for their fellow humans that extended beyond the family unit. Spencer believed that men were political creatures, that no man was an island. Like Aristotle, he believed that societies functioned best when they allowed a degree of liberty to individuals. The only liberty that should be restricted, he held, was that which was necessary to preserve liberty in general. Spencer's belief in the fittest fit well with the free-wheeling capitalism of his day. He is said to have delayed factory inspections, and he opposed various labor laws. The state, he believed, should not be involved in education, religion, the economy or in providing any kind of welfare. He believed in cold science and heaped scorn upon the study of the liberal arts. Copyright © 2009-2014 by Frank E. Smitha. All rights reserved.

Abstract. Prediction of ozone production, a photochemically non-linear process, is known to be biased in coarse-resolution chemical transport models (CTM). Other species subject to non-linear sources or sinks are also susceptible. Here we compute the resolution-dependent bias in predicted NO2 column, a quantity relevant to the interpretation of space-based observations. We use 1-D and 2-D models to illustrate the mechanisms responsible for these biases over a range of NO2 concentrations and model resolutions. We find that the behavior of calculated biases in NO2 depends on the magnitude and spatial extent of the NO2 source. We use WRF-CHEM to determine the resolution necessary to predict column NO2 to 10 % and 25 % over the Four Corners power plants in NW New Mexico, Los Angeles, and the San Joaquin Valley in California.

Dreamweaver 8 is an advanced program that can help experts as well as novices. Things You'll Need - Computer Dreamweaver 8 software Instructions - How to Create a Dynamic Web Page With Dreamweaver 8 - 1 - 2 Save the page. Start off by giving the page a name. Dreamweaver will automatically save the page as a html file. The page can be saved by going to File > Save as. - - 3 Create a table.

When this is selected, Dreamweaver will ask how many rows and columns to create. It is best to create several rows and several columns. The rows and columns that are not needed will be merged later. Start with 30 rows and 30 columns. - 4 Merge cells. In order to keep elements on a web page aligned, the cells being used must be merged. Highlight the top four or five rows of the table and right click. Choose the merge cells option on the menu that appears. This will make all of the cells of the table selected become one large cell. This is where the graphic for the header of the dynamic web page created in Dreamweaver 8 can be placed. Place a pre-created image into this area by selecting Insert > Image. It is best to pre-create all images and graphics in a program like Photoshop. - 5 Continue to merge cells and insert images, graphics and text.

Kudankulam: A man working at the Kudankulam Nuclear Power plant today died after he was electrocuted. The victim, identified as Alok Taray from Odisha, was working as a contract labourer. Authorities say the accident occurred in an underground tunnel in the plant's second unit during cabling work and they suspect the victim might have violated safety norms. "An investigation on this accident will soon begin; none would be spared, all parties including the main contractor, sub-contractor and many others would be questioned," Anbumani, the Public Relations Officer of the plant, told NDTV. The People's Movement against Nuclear Energy (PMANE), which has been spearheading the campaign against the nuclear plant, alleges that the accident took place at the plant's first unit and that authorities are covering up the incident to avoid tough questions. However, plant have officials dismissed the allegations. The commissioning of Unit I of the Rs. 14,[[phy_address]] has been delayed by more than a year due to protests by locals who have raised concerns citing the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan. They allege the plant is unsafe and once commissioned, would affect the marine population and consequently, their livelihood. Two government-appointed committees have certified the plant to be safe, saying that public fears are unfounded. The Supreme Court is presently hearing a petition against commissioning of the plant.

After three rounds of UEFA Champions League, every team has faced their group opponents once, giving us a good idea of the teams’ relative quality. We can see Atlético’s the best in their group. Chelsea’s overcome their early misstep. Barcelona’s going to take top spot in Group H. These things are pretty clear. Other, closer races force you to remember: Teams have yet to face each other home-and-road, and no team has played an equal number of games away as they have in front of their own fans. If you’ve played two of your three on the road, you may have had a more difficult start than a team above you in the standings, something that needs to be remembered when you’re assessing your (and other teams’) chances of moving on. Take Arsenal, for example. They’re at the top of their group, albeit in a three-way tie with Borussia Dortmund and Napoli. But they’ve also had two home games, whereas both their competitors have played twice on the road. The Gunners’ road trip was also their easiest one. Things are about to get much more difficult for Arsène Wenger’s troop, while their opponents’ slates get easier. Then think about Atlético Madrid. They’re perfect through three rounds, but they’ve also played two games on the road, having won at the Estadio do Dragão – what was supposed to be their toughest game. They’re not only off to a flying start. They’ve done so without the help of their schedule. Here’s where Groups E through H stand after Tuesday’s Champions League action: * – To each of these standings we’ve added a column labeled +/-: a crude attempt to track how many points a team has dropped at home (minus) or picked up on the road (plus). It’s a very crude attempt to gauge the extent to which teams are holding serve. \|Group E\| \|Team\|\|GP\|\|W\|\|D\|\|L\|\|GF\|\|GA\|\|GD\|\|Home\|\|Away\|\|PTS\|\|+/-\| \|Chelsea\|\|3\|\|2\|\|0\|\|1\|\|8\|\|2\|\|+6\|\|0-1-0\|\|2-0-0\|\|6\|\|+3\| \|Schalke\|\|3\|\|2\|\|0\|\|1\|\|4\|\|3\|\|+1\|\|1-1-0\|\|1-0-0\|\|6\|\|+0\| \|Basel\|\|3\|\|1\|\|1\|\|1\|\|3\|\|3\|\|+0\|\|0-1-0\|\|1-0-1\|\|4\|\|+1\| \|Steaua Bucharest\|\|3\|\|0\|\|1\|\|2\|\|1\|\|8\|\|-7\|\|0-1-1\|\|0-1-0\|\|1\|\|-5\| In Groups E, F, and G, one team has been picked out as the weakest link, giving us something else to keep in mind beyond that +/- column. Dropping points to that last place team could be decisive. If the group’s other teams claim six from the also ran, you need to do that same; else, the points you drop could be the difference between moving on and going to Europa League. Today, Basel essentially dropped points. Both Chelsea and Schalke had already defeated Steaua, but Basel couldn’t do the same, and while it’s perfectly understandable why Murat Yakin’s team would “stumble” in Bucharest, they need to make up those points. Schalke’s trip to Romania now becomes more important to Basel’s knockout round hopes, because although the Swiss champions will likely pass the Miners next round (Schalke visiting Chelsea while Basel host Steaua), they still have to make a trip to Gelsenkirchen. \|Group F\| \|Team\|\|GP\|\|W\|\|D\|\|L\|\|GF\|\|GA\|\|GD\|\|Home\|\|Away\|\|PTS\|\|+/-\| \|Arsenal\|\|3\|\|2\|\|0\|\|1\|\|5\|\|3\|\|+2\|\|1-1-0\|\|1-0-0\|\|6\|\|+0\| \|Borussia Dortmund\|\|3\|\|2\|\|0\|\|1\|\|6\|\|3\|\|+3\|\|1-0-0\|\|1-1-0\|\|6\|\|+3\| \|Napoli\|\|3\|\|2\|\|0\|\|1\|\|4\|\|4\|\|+0\|\|1-0-0\|\|1-1-0\|\|6\|\|+3\| \|Marseille\|\|3\|\|0\|\|0\|\|3\|\|2\|\|7\|\|-5\|\|0-2-0\|\|0-1-0\|\|0\|\|-6\| Three teams with six points, and only one’s truly ahead of the game, though you wouldn’t know if from the right column. With their win in Marseille, Napoli have picked up points on the road, but they’re points Arsenal have also claimed. Winning at the Velodrome has become obligatory, not progressing. Dortmund, on the other hand, picked up three points at Arsenal, a place where Napoli’s already lost. They also have yet to visit France while still having home games against their two co-leaders. They’re in good shape. Arsenal, though, may have created trouble for themselves with today’s loss. They still have to go to Germany, which they’ll do next round, and they still have to visit Naples. The only reprieve in their group stage run-in is a visit from Marseille, but again: Beating l’OM has become obligatory, in this group. If everybody wins at home and losses on the road (with the exception of games at Marseille), Dortmund and Napoli are through. Arsenal’s in Europa League. \|Group G\| \|Team\|\|GP\|\|W\|\|D\|\|L\|\|GF\|\|GA\|\|GD\|\|Home\|\|Away\|\|PTS\|\|+/-\| \|Atlético Madrid\|\|3\|\|3\|\|0\|\|0\|\|8\|\|2\|\|+6\|\|1-0-0\|\|2-0-0\|\|9\|\|+6\| \|Zenit St. Petersburg\|\|3\|\|1\|\|1\|\|1\|\|2\|\|3\|\|-1\|\|0-0-1\|\|1-1-0\|\|4\|\|+1\| \|Porto\|\|3\|\|1\|\|0\|\|2\|\|2\|\|3\|\|-1\|\|0-2-0\|\|1-0-0\|\|3\|\|-3\| \|Austria Wien\|\|3\|\|0\|\|1\|\|2\|\|0\|\|4\|\|-4\|\|0-2-0\|\|0-0-1\|\|1\|\|-5\| A five-point lead after three of six rounds is huge, but it looks even bigger when you see Atlético’s played two games on the road. They’ve also already hosted and beaten the group’s second place team and have taken three points from what was supposed to have been their most difficult road opponent (Porto). A win next round clinches a knockout round spot, while a draw in St. Petersburg between Zenit and Porto allows that same win to give Atlético the group’s top seed. They’re winning this group. Zenit’s got the inside track on the second seed considering the back half of their schedule gives them both tough games at home. That increases the importance of Porto’s trip to Zenit – the teams’ next match. Zenit can take a commanding lead with a win, but even a draw will keep the Russians in control. Whereas Porto still has to go to the Vicente Calderon, Zenit gets Atlético at home. \|Group H\| \|Team\|\|GP\|\|W\|\|D\|\|L\|\|GF\|\|GA\|\|GD\|\|Home\|\|Away\|\|PTS\|\|+/-\| \|Barcelona\|\|3\|\|2\|\|1\|\|0\|\|6\|\|1\|\|5\|\|1-0-0\|\|1-0-1\|\|7\|\|+4\| \|Milan\|\|3\|\|1\|\|2\|\|0\|\|4\|\|2\|\|2\|\|1-0-1\|\|0-1-0\|\|5\|\|-1\| \|Celtic\|\|3\|\|1\|\|0\|\|2\|\|2\|\|4\|\|-2\|\|1-1-0\|\|0-1-0\|\|3\|\|-3\| \|Ajax\|\|3\|\|0\|\|1\|\|2\|\|2\|\|7\|\|-5\|\|0-0-1\|\|0-2-0\|\|1\|\|-2\| This group’s sorting itself out as expected, with Barcelona and Milan drifting toward the group’s top seeds. The big danger for Milan will be a Celtic win over Ajax next round. If that happens, Milan may need a result in Glasgow to go through. That sounds more ominous that it is. The scenario would require Celtic to win in Amsterdam before defeating Milan, and while each result in isolation is certainly possible, both results together becomes much more unlikely. Not to get all high school math on you, but if Celtic have a 60 percent change of winning their home game and a 40 percent chance of winning on the road (numbers I’ve made up out of thin air), they’re going to do both fewer than one time in four. Milan’s still in good shape. - An end-of-season (mostly) uncapped MLS for Jurgen Klinsmann’s approval Oct 24, 2014, 11:15 AM EDT Who makes the cut as MLS players deserving of a look at USMNT camp? - Two left flying MLS flag for 2015 CONCACAF Champions League quarters Oct 24, 2014, 10:25 AM EDT An all-MLS final appearance is impossible thanks to seeding, and Montreal and DC can only face-off if they win in the quarterfinals this winter. - Introducing: “The 2 Robbies ‘Football’ Show” on NBCSportsRadio.com Oct 24, 2014, 9:38 AM EDT The purpose of the show is for the Robbies to hear from the fans on this call-in show, so dial 855-323-[[phy_address]] your say. - El Clasico: Luis Suarez, Barcelona and Real Madrid together at last Oct 24, 2014, 9:22 AM EDT El Clasico is upon us, and my goodness will it be a doozy between Real Madrid and Barcelona on Saturday at the Bernabeu. - Tear gas and rubber bullets used by Lille police against Everton fans Oct 24, 2014, 8:31 AM EDT French police had arrested a man for selling drugs, according to the BBC, and that earned the ire of already on-edge Everton supporters. - Top European clubs prefer to play Qatar World Cup in May Oct 24, 2014, 7:44 AM EDT The European Club Association includes at least one club from every nation in UEFA and includes Manchester United, Chelsea and Barcelona. - MLS weekend preview: Sounders meet Galaxy again, Caps and Timbers jostle for playoff spot Oct 24, 2014, 12:17 AM EDT Previewing the last weekend of full-tilt MLS competition. - Nigeria’s Vincent Enyeama fearful of Ebola at Africa Cup of Nations Oct 23, 2014, 11:06 PM EDT Lille and Nigeria goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama thinks it would be dangerous to hold the Africa Cup of Nations with the Ebola outbreak. - Dunga, Brazil football federation create new code of conduct for national team Oct 23, 2014, 10:22 PM EDT Brazil’s national football team has a new code of conduct under manager Dunga. - WATCH: Spurs midfielder Erik Lamela strikes astounding ‘rabona’ goal Oct 23, 2014, 8:57 PM EDT Wonderful touch and power utilized on a first-class goal from Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Erik Lamela. - Tottenham striker Harry Kane scores hat trick, then allows goal as emergency netminder Oct 23, 2014, 8:20 PM EDT Harry Kane notched a hat trick in Tottenham’s Europa League victory over Asteras Tripoli, and he then found himself manning the goal as a netminder following a Hugo Lloris red card. - Lille 0-0 Everton: Toffees stay unbeaten in Group H Oct 23, 2014, 6:55 PM EDT Lille and Everton played to a 0-0 draw at Stade Pierre-Mauroy in Europa League group stage competition. - Frank Lampard could be fit to play in City’s match vs. West Ham Oct 23, 2014, 5:43 PM EDT Manchester City’s Frank Lampard could be fit to play against West Ham in Premier League competition on Saturday. - Cristiano Ronaldo on El Clasico: ‘I won’t be playing against Messi.

Betsy Hunt's letter stated misinformation was being given about Obamacare. What misinformation is she talking about? Why should a healthy male pay for mammograms? Why should a childless adult pay for pediatrician visits, immunizations? Why should a adult lose their current coverage, which Obama said would not happen because it does not cover everything the government says should be covered? Seems the misinformation Hunt talks about was what the president and the Democrats were pitching to get Obamacare passed.

Ted Talks…what’s not to love? One of my favorite Ted Talks was from a woman named Brené Brown, who dedicated her studies to human connection, our ability to empathize, belong and love. In many ways, her research expanded my perception in how I live my life and those who play a part in it. Brown got her Ph.D. in social work, so she had always been around people. Her mantra encompassed leaning into the discomfort of her work. As a social worker for 10 years, she came to realize the importance of connection and wanted to study this phenomenon in depth. We’re biologically wired to feel connected with others, it gives us purpose and meaning. Brené found that when she asked people about love, they talked about heartbreak. When she asked people about belonging, they told her their most excruciating experiences of being excluded. In many respects when asking people about connection, the stories they would tell were of disconnection. Interestingly enough, Brown decided to pull herself out of the research entirely and what she found was shame. “And shame is really easily understood as the fear of disconnection: is there something about me that, if other people know or see, that I won’t be worthy of connection?” No one wants to talk about it, and the less you talk about it the more you have it, right? What underpins shame is the unfortunate sensation of “I’m not good enough.” Now if we take it a step further the thing that underpinned this was excruciating vulnerability. Vulnerability is this idea that if we really want to be seen we have to show ourselves, our raw self. When Brown took the people she interviewed and divided them into people who really have a sense of worthiness, who have a strong sense of love and belonging, and folks who struggle for it, and wonder if they’re good enough she found one distinct variable that separated them. The people who have a strong sense of love and belonging believe they’re worthy of love and belonging. That’s it. They believe they’re worthy. Could it be that the one thing that keeps us out of connection is our fear that we’re not worthy of connection? What was suppose to be 1 year of research turned into 6 years for Brené. She felt stuck for she found that vulnerability is the core of shame, fear and our struggle for worthiness, but it appears that it’s also the birthplace of joy, creativity, of belonging, of love. We live in a vulnerable world. And one of the ways we deal with it is we numb vulnerability. We are the most in-debt, obese, addicted and medicated adult cohort in U.S. history; moreover we cannot selectively numb emotion. Here’s vulnerability, here’s grief, here’s shame, here’s fear, here’s disappointment. I don’t want to feel these. You can’t numb those hard feelings without numbing the other affects, our emotions. So when we numb those we also numb joy, we numb gratitude, we numb happiness. “And then we are miserable, and we are looking for purpose and meaning, and then we feel vulnerable.” It’s a dangerous cycle. Brown further explains how this numbness doesn’t just stem from addiction. The other thing we do is we make everything that’s uncertain certain. Religion has gone from a belief in faith and mystery to certainty. I’m right, you’re wrong. Shut up. That’s it. Just certain. There’s no discussion anymore. There’s no conversation. There’s just blame, a way to discharge pain and discomfort. We also try to perfect. Brené further contends how we most dangerously perfect our children, even when they are hardwired for struggle when they get here. “Our job is not to say, look at her, she’s perfect. My job is just to keep her perfect make sure she makes the tennis team by fifth grade and Yale by seventh grade. That’s not our job.” She believes we need to acknowledge how they are imperfect, and they are wired for struggle, but that they understand they are worthy of love and belonging. A generation of kids raised like that, and we’ll end the problems that many of us witness today. We pretend that what we do doesn’t have an effect on people. What resonated with me in this Tedtalk is how we have to let ourselves be seen, deeply seen, vulnerably seen; to love with our whole hearts, even if there’s no guarantee. That ability to feel such vulnerability is truly living and can leave one with a self-actualized sensation of “I’m alive.” If we start working from a place where we believe “I’m enough” then we stop screaming and start listening, we’re kinder and gentler to the people around us, and we are kinder and gentler to ourselves.
Filmmaker Robert Parish set out to interview four local comedians about what makes them tick for his “In The Tank” show on WCET-TV. So the last week of February, he interviewed Bryan Craig Applegate, Homer Shadowheart, Landon Faulkner and Steve Booth at the Home Base Tavern in Mount Auburn for a show to be called “4 Cincy Funnymen Get Serious.” Then Booth, best known as the guy who broke the vending machine glass with a snowglobe in the 2009 Doritos Super Bowl commercial, died a week later…. So tonight’s “In The Tank” (7:30 p.m., CET) will open with Applegate, Shadowheart and Faulkner talking about their comedy craft — and then the final eight minutes will be an extended interview with Booth. Booth told Parish: “Comedy brings us together. It’s like music.” He also told Parish about the painful process of creating laughs. “Pain is the touchstone to growth…. If you’re in pain, you get away from it, you grow away from it… Pain is a great motivator.” Parish says Booth was in a playful, upbeat mood when the spoke. At the end of their chat, he asked Booth to do some improv, and he morphed into crazy Jonathan Winter-type characters. (Winters was his idol.) ”He was really pumped up and feeling good. It was a great interview. He was so good at improv. He did me, and all these crazy voices.” Here’s a clip on YouTube that ends with Booth imitating Parish.
User score distribution: - Positive: 47 out of 56 - Mixed: 6 out of 56 - Negative: 3 out of 56 Review this movie - Sep 2, 2014"Cube" is a pretty intriguing and intense film. Making the Cube the antagonist of the film was a pretty big risk, but it did that fairly well until the very end, where one of the characters turned in to the villain. This was slightly disappointing, but it didn't completely ruin the film. It has great cinematography and very minimalist, yet beautiful, production design, but the acting is slightly below average. I do recommend this movie for cult film lovers.… Expand - Apr 13, 2014Honestly, not a big Horror fan, but I love this film, it's so creepy, mysterious & all-round bonkers that it makes it gripping, the only real complaint I have is the lack of answers this film has, I people will think this is what makes it mysterious, but at least one answer would have been nice, but the tense nature of this film is something I can't get enough of - Nov 30, 2013Just can't help but think this can happen to me in reality!Clever plot,excellent acting,amazing set,best trilogy after the godfather that I might have ever seen.It is very difficult to revolve your story around a set of individuals in the same environment right from the beginning to the end and they did it amazingly..so kudos to the crew of cube. Daily soaps like Big Boss (In India) are derivatives of such ideas(they are pathetic in nature though,not even close to cube)..if you enjoyed this you might also enjoy the exam,house of 9 etc..… Expand - Jul 26, 2013The movie is filled with dazzling effects and smart plot, with good acting and phenomenal direction. It is filled with tension, claustrophobic atmosphere and shocking events. It is smart, shocking and entertaining, with masterful direction, dazzling effects and good acting, you can't possibly ask for more. - Jul 13, 2013This is how NOT to make a film. Take five or six acting students (the only reason they could be so bad), Write some god-awful dialogue. Name each character after a prison or a college or a fast-food joint, whatever suits your fancy. Add some torture instruments. Shake together in a great big Rubik's Cube. Be sure to add no answers at all and "voila!" a pretentious piece of dreck. - Dec 29, 2012I love the ideas behind this film; a mystery combined with some sci-fi and more than a touch of horror is right up my street. Unfortunately the execution just fails to pay off sufficiently for me to call it brilliant. I think the dialogue comes over as a little dated and that does let it down somewhat. Also the twist at the end was a tad predictable. Even so, I can - Jul 5, 2012Acting wasnt bad to begin with, then it just started getting corny and predictable, and the way the ragtag group figures out where booby traps are and where they aren't is just plain STUPID i might add. Ending left something to be desired, but overall a good horror movie made bad by poor acting, a lack of character development, and a story with no real ending - Jul 1, 2012A premise alone isn't enough to make a great film, however - tension is slowly built through character development and interaction - but unfortunately, for a film so focused on atmosphere and unwaveringly serious conversation, the acting and dialogue are both totally subpar. I was surprised by how cynically the film portrays the effects of a desperate situation on the human psyche, as the group goes against all logic and begins to turn on each other. Natali has tried too hard to make complex political and social statements, and continually piles on allegory as each character makes their beliefs known, and it becomes a meaningless and confusing mess. The film makers have made the most of an limited budget; only a single set was used for the entire film, freeing up money to use on special effects, which are nothing special but get the job done.… Expand - Feb 29, 2012You have to give the director credit for at least having the balls to go against the grain and try something different. Sometimes risks are worth it and they work out. Other times they are not so successful. I'm divided on this movie. The story is fresh and original with a lot of potential to be had, but most was wasted on an awful script with corny dialog and I won't even attempt to justify the wooden acting. Thankfully the general premise is strong enough to award this feature some dignity. A decent effort from a first time director.… Expand - Oct 27, 2011Vincenzo Natali's "The Cube" is daring and packed with dangers and shocks. Tension surrounds the movie the whole time, as well as the director's masterful direction. Can you depend and put your faith in others after watching this movie? - Jan 31, 2011I saw the movie a couple of days ago in a real horror mood. The concept of the film is really good, but after a while the actors started bothering me. The most common reaction in the film was something like: 'Oh, let's do that door'. 'Yeah, let me check.' 2s later... 'Yes ok, let's do it'. - Someone dies - 'Aww, he's dead... tough luck'. - 'Let's try that door'. The actors are just to... boring. After all, I enjoyed watching this film. Actingjob: 6/20 - As i said,i really didn't like the actors. Concept: 14/20 - Good concept, really liked this. Although they could've done more with this. By that i mean with the actors, and the plot. Plot: 9/20 - I'm not giving any spoilers but, i didn't like this AT ALL... I felt kinda empty after this. I was hoping for more till the last second. Then when the credits came up, i must say, i was kinda angry. 90 minutes... for this ?! Effects: 14/20 - Pretty standard. Not so much that i can say about this. 4 Character development: 8/20 - You don't know anything about the character. You only know: the general idea. 43/100 --> 4/10 I expected more of this.… Expand - Jan 19, 2011What a movie! Suspence everywhere... you donÂ´t where to pay attention: the traps (a lot different ways), the way out or how to go thru, the steps the character take, what's coming next... each person itself... and their pasts... the trap... a cube, how an idea! This movie, should be named as CLEVER, INTELLIGENT SUSPENSE... great job for an amateur like Natali. - Sep 13, 2010LOVE this film! Not the greatest of acting, but the script is done well. One of my top 10 favorite sci-fi thrillers. Interesting story and it will keep you on the edge of your seat. NOT for the squeamish. - It's an existential, Kafka-esque nightmare with no real resolution, although if you've been biding your time waiting to see some high-strung, ham-handed bickering on-screen, this is your A-ticket. - With basically a single set and a limited cast, the producers get the most of their limited budget, particular with a couple of spectacular death scenes. - Cube falls into the dreaded trap of allegory -- aaaaaargh! -- and the clunky dialogue makes a midnight bull session seem brilliant by comparison.
The trading window has past at 1pm today and a trade was NOT made for Vincent Jackson. So what next? Expect Vincent Jackson to sit out the rest of the season. He will have to wait till next season for the big payday that he is looking for. The San Diego Chargers are not willing to offer the money that he wants. The relationship between the two sides is turning ugly: “Archie Manning had it right. They call (A.J. Smith) ‘The Lord of No Rings’ for a reason.” – Vincent Jackson’s agent Jonathan Feinsod Here is text messages that were received from Vincent Jackson to Jason La Canfora of NFL network: I just don’t understand why (a trade was not completed). “They obviously think i’m a valuable player by asking for such high trade compensation, but why am i only offered tender salary? “My agents and teams interested did everything to make it happen, but this organization stopped it. I just want to play football. It feels unethical and I am disappointed. – Vincent Jackson General Manager A.J. Smith needs to pull a trigger on one of these deals to put this situation to rest. If there was a 2nd round pick available for the taking, then it is stupid not to take it. The most that the Chargers can get back if Jackson leaves in free agency is a 3rd round compensation pick. What is A.J. Smith trying to prove? We already know that he a stubborn general manager but the reputation that he is trying to keep of a stubborn GM is getting in the way of his decision making. The only way that he can salvage this whole situation is to sign both restricted free agents: Vincent Jackson and Marcus McNeill to 1 year contracts and let them walk at the end of the season. What is the use of having “control” of a player when you do not have the intention to use them. Either sign the players and give us the best opportunity to win a championship or trade them for something else. STOP HOLDING THE FANS HOSTAGE!
Earlier this week we noted that Focus on the Family had hired the Bush Administration's former chief liaison to Religious Right group, Tim Goeglein, who was forced to step down from his position in the White House after admitting he plagiarized numerous columns when he was writing for The News-Sentinel in Fort Wayne, Ind. Now, Focus has made it official with this announcement that Goeglein has been tapped to serves as the organization's "eyes and ears" in Washington DC as a sign of just how "serious" the organization is about pressing its agenda under the Obama administration: Tim Goeglein, former deputy director of the White House Office of Public Liaison under President George W. Bush, has joined Focus on the Family Action in the newly created role of vice president of external relations. Goeglein brings nearly 20 years of public-service experience to his new position. His hiring, Focus on the Family Action President and CEO Jim Daly said, signals how serious the nonprofit organization is about defending families through public policy. “Tim brings with him a wealth of experience and relationships that will prove invaluable to our efforts to defend the sanctity of human life, protect the institution of marriage and ensure the religious-freedom rights of Christians,” Daly said. “He will be our eyes and ears in Washington, helping ensure people of faith continue to be heard on the important issues facing our nation.” Focus also acknowledges Goeglein's past, but says that is all behind him and that he has been forgiven: Goeglein resigned from the Bush administration last February, after admitting to plagiarizing columns written for his hometown newspaper. He has accepted full responsibility for his actions, Daly said, and the matter is behind him. “Tim has been forthright about his mistakes and humbly accepted the consequences of them – a pretty rare thing in Washington,” Daly said. “He is a Christian, and being a Christian doesn’t mean you’re perfect – only that there is grace and forgiveness when you confess your imperfections. Tim has done that, and we welcome him to our team enthusiastically.” For his part, Goeglein seems downright giddy about his new job, saying he has "seen the positive impact they’ve had on policy and culture from inside government" and is therefore looking forward to being a part of that effort: "My job is to tell the Focus story to people and to groups of influence," he told CitizenLink. "It's to build relationships, to build alliances, to shape debate. It's very important we tell the Focus story to the rising generation of young Americans." Goeglein said he's been a fan and a beneficiary of Focus on the Family for many years. "As a father of two boys, Focus on the Family is a very central part of our life and the way we parent," he said. "There is no organization in America which does a better job of understanding and promoting and defending the family than Focus on the Family does."

Glenn Healy doesn’t like you nor does he care what you think of him: Enjoy the 140 words. If you don’t like them, tweet that to all your friends. #dontwastemytime Let’s kick off this week’s edition of Stealing Money with that quote from Healy’s 140 Words column. Once Pierre McGuire departed from TSN, the title of most despised member of hockey broadcasting transferred to Healy. I don’t know if Healy is trying to play the villain on purpose or if he just is the way he comes across every week on Hockey Night In Canada. Either way, I have yet to find someone who enjoys what he provides on air. As Healy said above, you – the viewer, the consumer and the individual who pays to keep the Canadian Broadcasting Company in business – don’t matter to him. If you have a problem with Healy’s article tell it to someone else. I think this clip explains Healy’s quote perfectly. In it, he is Bricktop from Snatch and the audience is represented by the person who confronts him: In the same article, Healy feels it necessary to attack and criticize his colleagues: Some of my colleagues may criticize me, but they don’t watch the games anymore. They just read the tweets about them. Man, people must love working with him. Does Healy really think people paid to comment upon and analyze hockey don’t watch the games anymore? Want to see how Healy’s co-workers feel about being associated with him? Just watch Elliotte Friedman’s reaction to what Healy says here: Must be difficult for Friedman to remain classy (or a candy striper as Healy says) every week alongside Glenn. All is not lost though, as Healy mentions in his first column for CBC.com: This year, in 140 words, my role will be to attack hockey topics that are actually interesting. That is in contrast to all the other topics people are attacking that are not interesting, right? Cool, thanks for that Glenn. In his first 140 Words column in which he does discuss hockey topics (and not just how much better he is than everyone else) Healy says this: The Toronto Maple Leafs have a 3-1-[[phy_address]] Playoff tickets are going to print. All seems great in Leafs Nation, but the truth is that Toronto hasn’t played very well at all. However, I look at it as the glass being half full. The Leafs no longer have to play a perfect game to get a win. Healy’s claim that with Jonathan Bernier in net this season the Leafs have been able to lay an egg, yet still walk away with two points is true. The fact that he adds in ‘no longer’ is hilarious. It might be wise for someone to remind Healy of the 2013 Leafs season which went exactly the same as the opening four games of the 2013-14 campaign did. The Leafs leaned heavily and (succeeded mainly) due to the strong play of goaltender James Reimer last year. If Healy thinks the Leafs needed to play a perfect game during the 2013 season in order to emerge victorious then he is horribly mistaken. You know what’s funny? Healy worked the April 21st game in which the Leafs were outshot 50-22 by the Ottawa Senators, yet walked away with a 4-1 win. He was also between the benches on March 23rd as the Boston Bruins outshot Toronto 33-11 only to fall 3-2 to Reimer and the Leafs. The Leafs were outshot for the majority of the 2013 season and played a similar game to the one that they are currently playing in front of Bernier. This is neither an opinion or something that twitter told me. I watched the games and Healy worked them. Good thing he doesn’t have a twitter account because he’s obviously distracted enough during the games without it. Healy is 100% right though, if you don’t like what he says don’t tell him. Oppositely, you can also not read his column in the first place. Personally, I would never have read either one of them if I didn’t want to write a weekly article calling the MSM on their inaccuracies. Make no mistake, 140 Words is going to be something that makes a lot of people angry and confused. That’s Healy’s style. This is a man who said Reimer was exaggerating while he was lying on the ice from an injury that effected him for an entire year. Healy has also said that Detroit Red Wings forward Pavel Datsyuk lacked talent. I can’t wait to see what crazy stuff he has in store next.

: The Dresden Files View Single Post 01-22-2013, 08:15 AM # 1576 danskmacabre Guru Posts: 652 Karma: 1535478 Join Date: Jun 2011 Device: Kobo Glo and Touch I'm on "White night" now after taking a break for a while when I completed "Proven guilty". I pretty much read book 1 to book 8 in succession and wanted to try something else for a while. Once I read a few other books I got the urge to read the Dresden files again. Very much enjoying White night, I won't go into details due to spoilers, but I'm more into this one than Proven guilty, although I did enjoy it.
Strategic voting: A troubling factor in Toronto’s race for mayor? Author Michael Harris’s new book is a takedown of Stephen Harper Joy Ibsen and her husband, Norm, were at the table in their London, Ont., home in 2004, when a researcher called, saying Joy was believed to be related to King Richard III’s sister. Here is a family tree showing the connection.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Braced for a fight, President Barack Obama on Wednesday unveiled the most sweeping proposals for curbing gun violence in two decades, pressing a reluctant Congress to pass universal background checks and bans on military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines like the ones used in the Newtown, Conn., school shooting. A month after that horrific massacre, Obama also used his presidential powers to enact 23 measures that don't require the backing of lawmakers. The president's executive actions include ordering federal agencies to make more data available for background checks, appointing a director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and directing the Centers for Disease Control to research gun violence. But the president, speaking at White House ceremony, acknowledged the most effective actions must be taken by lawmakers. "To make a real and lasting difference, Congress must act," Obama said. "And Congress must act soon." Obama vowed to use "whatever weight this office holds" to press lawmakers into action on his $500 million plan. Still, even supportive lawmakers say the president's proposals -- most of which are opposed by the powerful National Rifle Association -- face long odds on Capitol Hill. The president was flanked by children who wrote him letters about gun violence in the weeks following the Newtown shooting. Families of those killed in the massacre, as well as survivors of the shooting, were also in the audience, along with law enforcement officers and congressional lawmakers. "This is our first task as a society, keeping our children safe," Obama said. "This is how we will be judged." The president based his proposals on recommendations from an administration-wide task force led by Vice President Joe Biden. His plan marks the most comprehensive effort to address gun violence in more than two-decades. The president is asking Congress to renew the ban on high-grade, military-style assault weapons that was first signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1994 but expired in 2004. Other measures before Congress include limiting high-capacity ammunition magazines and requiring background checks for all gun buyers in an attempt to close the so-called "gun-show loophole" that allows people to buy guns at trade shows and over the Internet without submitting to background checks. Obama also intends to seek confirmation for B. Todd Jones, who has served as acting director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives since 2011. The president's long list of executive orders includes: - Ordering tougher penalties for people who lie on background checks and requiring federal agencies to make relevant data available to the federal background check system. - Ending limits that make it more difficult for the government to research gun violence, such as gathering data on guns that fall into criminal hands. - Requiring federal law enforcement to trace guns recovered in criminal investigations. - Giving schools flexibility to use federal grant money to improve school safety, such as hiring school resource officers. - Giving communities grants to institute programs to keep guns away from people who shouldn't have them.

How did your Christmas feast(s) go?? - wyf4lyf Dec 26, 2006 04:16 AM I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!! I'd love to hear how everyone's cooking turned out. Our Christmas Eve supper was great. Nigella's Chocolate-Cherry Trifle was a huge hit, with everyone groaning with delight at the first bite. Can't say enough about that recipe! Today's feast turned out wonderfully. Suzanne Goin's prime rib recipe was a winner and we have lots of leftovers for the next couple of days. Yorkshire Pudding (Martha Stewart's recipe) was as foolproof as always...I've made it for the past 10 years, at least! Ina Garten's Spinach Gratin was also wonderful...very comforting and fabulous as a side dish with the prime rib. I reported on the roasted green beans...really good. My biggest experiment was a coffee-macadamia creme brulee and I'm thrilled to say it turned out perfectly. The texture was superb, and the flavors were spot on. The coffee and macadamias are ground up fine and steeped in the cream, then strained out...so it will be easy to substitute other flavors if I want to for next time. Or just add vanilla bean and make it plain. YUM. Time for bed. Sweet dream everyone...may you all enjoy this final week of 2006! - Our first go-round was on Christmas Eve, and it went well. The shoulder (scored and studded) ham we served was blessedly not too salty, and the resultant gravy was heavenly. Mashed potato casserole was, as usual, a hit. Marvelous potato sausage. All sides well-received - especially red sweet-and-sour cabbage. Still, we're doing it all over again on Twelfth Night for another side of the family. And there are some things I will tweak, just for a change of pace (gads, I want some scallops in black-bean and garlic right now...). Maybe a scalloped potato dish in lieu of mashed. Maybe an arugula salad instead of mixed greens. Maybe a cranberry fool for desert. Or a custard pudding, or a rice pudding. Who knows. I do have a week to formulate plans. For now, I'm happy that everyone ate well. On to the next meal! I wish you all a Happy New Year! - - re: Alexandra Eisler Tell me more, please. Do you add broth? Do you leave take the lid off at some point to make it brown? I've never been able to make outside-the-bird stuffing that came out well. I usually use a glass baking dish with a cover. - - I did Thanksgiving, so my sister did Christmas feast. I got the job of desserts. I went nuts. Good nuts, though. I made the following desserts: Frozen vanilla yoghurt (Bittman's recipe, son and signif other's Simac ice cream maker on loan while they're out of town) Chocolate panna cotta with orange caramel sauce Chocolate and chestnut pie (from Rose Bakery cookbook) Pistachio/Almond/lemon zest cake (also Rose Bakery) Mascarpone and prune tarts (prunes steeped in a bit of brandy first) All were really good and have some leftovers to take to work tomorrow. I had fun making these desserts and also it was fun having no other chores re holiday dinner. It wasn't even at my HOUSE? Huzzah! - re: oakjoan oakjoan, can I hire you for my next family bash? :) Sounds great! - - - My GF's sour cream apple pie was a big hit, and worthy of the "Mentioned on Chowhound" award. - Christmas eve was the challenging meal this year, as my brother and sister-in-law were with her family for Christmas night. Christmas Eve: sesame-cornmeal-crusted fried squid with mizuna, beets, candied pistachios and sherry-urfa biber-vinegarette celeriac soup with greek yogurt, vietnamese cilantro, sea salt and white balsamic forest honey-glazed quail with roasted turnips with nutmeg, roasted cipoline onions and microgreens pan-cooked sea bass with leek puree, candied meyer lemon peel, and fennel pollen West County hard cider Las Rocas Garnacha 2004 Christmas was much simpler: cut-up chicken roasted over red potatoes, carrots, parsnips, onions and prunes with white wine, thyme and shallots new zealand spinach and green bean salad no-knead bread with nigella seeds Guest brought amazing cranberry-apple-nut relish Chateau Ste Michelle Reisling 2005 - I'm not a big baker but every year I make a Double Chocolate Torte for the dessert table and it's always the stand out. It's from Gourmet and you can find it on Epicurious - it's a nearly flour-less chocolate cake topped with a rich chocolate mousse topped with whipped cream and fresh raspberries. Just to die for and very pretty. Happy holidays everyone. - Since I went home (to New Orleans) for Thanksgiving, I decided to stay in Tampa and celebrate with my girlfriend (and her parents). Her family has a tradition of eating seafood on Christmas eve, and I told them I would do the cooking. I originally thought about doing a paella, and my girlfriend gave me a paella pan for an early Christmas present. However, I wasn't going to attempt a new feat during a family dinner. I din't want to risk having to order pizza because my rice didn't cook properly. I decided to stick with what I knew best: jambalaya. I did a creole shrimp jambalaya; and to keep in the paella spirit, I also added some mussels. I just named it my Creole Christmas Paella. It was fantastic and everyone enjoyed it. For breakfast on Christmas day, I fixed my girlfriend her favorite: cream cheese-stuffed French tast. It was outstanding and put a smile on her face. -Kevin - Our tradition for Christmas has been the same for years - and there are no complaints here. For Christmas Eve, we make steak and lobster for the family; a whole lobster per person, plus a filet mignon. Sides are baked potato and brocolli. We do the whole-lobster-per-person thing because we need leftovers for our Christmas day tradition: Lobster bisque. My dad boils the shells and makes his super rich and lovely lobster bisque on Christmas morning. He also roasts a pork loin and makes corned beef and my mom sets out a sandwich bar with all the fixins'. Two kinds of bread (rye and Dutch crunch), condiments (honey mustard, yellow mustard, spicy mustard, Japanese mayo, pickles, thinly sliced red onions, cornichons) and loads of great sharp cheeses. They also make a chicken terrine with pancetta, pistachios and dried apricots. All of our friends and family gather for a casual day of soup & sandwiches. The day ends with my mom's homemade cream puffs. Needless to say, I am already starting my New Year's diet :) CK - Just the two of us, but we still had a nice feast! Christmas Eve, I made my first Tom & Jerry's from an Epicurious recipe. The only change I made was to use rum and bourbon instead of rum only (I used Myer's Dark rum and Blanton's single-barrel bourbon). They were delicious. My husband's more of an expert than I am (I've only had them at my favorite restaurant in Boston when they have them around the holidays), and he commented it was the best one he's ever had. http://www.epicurious.com/drinking/sp... For dinner, we started with a Zuni-based butter lettuce, toasted hazelnut, and Satsuma mandarin salad with Grand Marnier vinaigrette. http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47... Jumbo stone crab claws from Fresh Choice Seafood. They arrived on time, were nice-sized, and came with mustard sauce, but I think I prefer the stone crabs we get from our usual purveyor (Moore's Stone Crab on Longboat Key) - they seemed not as sweet from Fresh Choice, and the texture was a little tough - maybe overcooked? Also, Moore's ships them already cracked so less mess. http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47... Dessert was Florida Pie (a frozen meringue pie using key lime juice and a layer of coconut cream). Very very good. I'll have to take a pic and post on the appropriate Dorie Greenspan thread later. Christmas Day, breakfast was a slice of Nigella Lawson's Clementine Cake that 'Hounds are posting about. I used Satsuma's which made it so easy since they're seedless. http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47... Late lunch were our traditonal lobster melts, this year with the addition of white truffle butter on the English muffins. mmmmm....SO good. http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47... Dinner was supposed to be Zuni's mock porchetta, but my husband developed a craving for chicken mole nachos, and so that's how we finished off the holiday! - I cooked Christmas dinner for 6, and I think it was the best meal I've ever cooked...or eaten! Appetizers: Charcuterie & Cheese Plate w/ proscuitto di parma, mortadella, salame, calamata olives, cranberry chevre, brie & french bread Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail First Course: Crab Cakes w/ herb salad (see Dec 2006 Gourmet magazine for recipe) - These were the best crab cakes I've ever had. I used 2 fresh Dungeness crabs and the only modification I made to the recipe was adding a bit of Sriracha chili sauce for a little kick. Main Course: Herb crusted rack of lamb w/ cabernet sauce - My first rack of lamb!! Gorgeous & delicious! Perfectly rare. I am so proud. I hope to have the photos uploaded soon. Thanks to kittyfood for the sauce recipe, which was amazing. Steamed green beans w/ lemon & dill Twice baked cheesy mashed potatoes Dessert: Martha Stewart's chocolate gingersnap cookies (a Christmas tradition at my house) Lemon Shortbread (butter city! yum!) Blue star sugar cookies (pretty as can be) - re: bourbongirl I'm impressed with your ability to cook crab, pick out the meat, and make crabcakes. I could never do that; the crab would be eaten long before it made it into the bowl with the breadcrumbs. Even with a full stomach and leftover crabs (see below) I don't think I'd have the will power. - - We had a Shellfish Christmas. First course was Salmon, Pea and Scallop Terrine. Easy to make, delicious, and served with an Acme Italian Batard. I had to buy the bread on Sunday, but took advice from Cook's Illustrated and wrapped it well in aluminum foil and plastic, and it tasted amazingly fresh, even a day old, although I did heat it in the oven a little. Then, a megasalad -- red leaf lettuce, romaine lettuce, grape tomatoes, hearts of palm, roasted beets, steamed (cold) shrimp, sliced carrots (really sweet ones from the Farmer's Market), red pepper, arugula and peppercress, with a mustard vinagrette dressing. Along with the salad we served the pasta dish -- Mussels steamed in white wine and garlic with homemade linguine. The next course was steamed Dungeness Crab. I bought them live on Sunday, and thanks to advice from Chowhounds (thanks, all!) I kept them alive in the bottom bin of the fridge until they were ready to meet their destiny. They were sweet and fabulous, served only with melted butter. Then, for dessert I made chocolate butter cookies, cut into lobster shapes with a cookie cutter. (I also made some holiday shapes.) We also had sliced strawberries with whipped cream. The best part is that everyone was so full that we could only eat 2 of the 4 crabs we bought, so there are [[phy_address]] waiting for us to eat for dinner tonight. - re: JoyM Two leftover crabs, you say? The perfect amount for crab cakes! :) Here's the recipe. I swear, you will not be disappointed. - - This was my first holiday hosting our families, as well as the first in our new house. I was so excited to be have everyone over and the food came out even better than I imagined. Christmas Eve- meal for 5 -Peppered Bourbon Ham -My mother in law's Lasagna -Roasted Red Bliss and Yukon Gold Baby Potatoes -Ina Gartner's Spinach Gratin (the hit of the night!) -Asparagus -Field Greens with Toasted Walnuts, Gorgonzola, and Dried Cranberries Christmas Brunch- 7 people -My dad's home fry recipe, which is now always made by me at Christmas- diced potatoes, onions, red peppers, sausage, ham, and american cheese; cooked stovetop on low during the 2-3 hour present opening extraveganza. YUM! -Bagels, Cream Cheese, and Smoked Salmon with Dill -More Ham =) -Biscuits -Cranberry Walnut Bread -Peanut Butter Cup Cookies -Chocolate Hazelnut Cake - re: jessicheese This was my first christmas hosting the family as well! Eight adults, five doggie "children." First night beef tenderlion, second night grilled ham and fried oysters, Christmas morning our traditional oyster stew and sausage milk gravy over biscuits, Christmas day night, pork tenderlion with escalloped potatoes and steamed brocolli. I'm hoping by New Years I'm hungry again so I can enjoy some black eyed peas for good luck in 2007! - - i prepped dinner at my house then cooked at my sister in laws. She has a huge gourmet kitchen with top-of-the-line Viking appliances, but has cheap, cheap cookware and knives. I tried to do as much in my own home where I am more comfortable with my own tools. The star of the menu was Beef tenderloin in salt crust (courtesy of AB). I made sure the meat was well seared before putting it in the herb crust. I pulled the roast from the oven at 125 degrees, but it ended up sitting in the crust for almost an hour before anyone felt like eating, so it was medium to meduim-well when we sat down to dinner. Fine for them, a bit of a disappointment for me and my husband. Overall, it was tender as all heck and a success. Luckily, I only cooked 1/2 of the full $140 piece of beef, so hubby and I can enjoy it nicely rare on New Year's Eve. The rest of the menu was: Spinach salad with warm bacon dressing, Horseradish sauce for the beef, mashed taters, peas and pancetta, sauteed white mushrooms, and roasted cipploine onions. Dessert was a pumpkin pie. No one ate it. In my own family, we have tons of desserts, and very few are leftover. At my in-laws, everyone it too health-conscious to enjoy dessert. It's sad. At least this gives me a chance to try Michael Chiarello's lefover pumpkin pie brulee tonight! - My Christmas dinner was great! I was able to eat Mama's home-cooked hoilday meal, something I have not been able to savor for a few years now. Christmas dinners at non-foodie homes really SUCKS! There is no place like home for the holidays. - We had a scaled-down Swedish smorgasbord. Ham, several herring dishes, meatballs, Swedish sausage (Julkorv and Prinskorv), 2 Swedish cheeses: Cumin ost and Vasterbottenost (a true King among cheeses) and of course, almond-flavored Rice pudding (with a custard layer) and lingonberies. Don't forget the glogg! - re: twodales Always interested in where other (presumably) Swedish-Americans get their groceries....?? - re: candace Candace I live in Chicago and get our goodies at Wikstrom's Deli on Clark Street. They do mail order I understand. There is also a very popular bakery, called, of course, The Swedish Bakery. It is also on Clark street. The old neighborhood is still called Andersonville, although most Swedes have moved out to the suburbs now. So how about you? Where do you get your "lutfisk and lingonberries" these days? - - re: twodales Mmmm, glogg! I hadn't thought of that in years. I first had it on a Swedish-American line trip from Sweden to NYC in December pf 1960. It was so stormy and scary for half the trip (I think it took 10 days...is that possible?) that I drank a lot of glogg! My aunt used to make sandbakelser (this is somewhat phonetic spelling) - sand tarts filled with something wonderful on Christmas. My mother and sister and I always made fatigman. Unfortunately, my aunt also made kalvedunce (or karvedunce - again phonetic) which was a sort of veal pate with a layer of meat jelly on top. Maybe I'd love it now, but I really hated it then. Mother and aunt used to sing a song about Skonig and how everybody's fat there. That's where they were from but they were never fat. Sorry to blather on. - re: oakjoan My FarMor (Father's Mother) used to make kalvesylta, similar to what you describe. As a kid I wouldn't touch it as it was all gray. Sort of a cold meatloaf or country pate. She used top-notch ingredients but it was not appealing to look at. My father loved it. I'd probably like it now. Perhaps the song was about Skane? (Pronounced with a sort of o sound.) It is a province in the south of Sweden. Many Swedes emigrated from that area to America. Blather on all you like! - - - We cooked at home, then transported food to my elderly in-laws' home for the family meal. The meat was a slow roasted pork shoulder, cooked all night, then pulled and warmed on site with cooking juices and homemade BBQ sauce. I also brought homemade mac and cheese, already baked and in a carry case. Once there, we sliced cold, peeled baked potatoes, then browned them in bacon grease and I made a fresh Ceaser salad and toasted the onion rolls. My sister-in-laws brought appetizers (cheese ball and crackers) and dessert (homemade cookies). Not the fanciest meal, but it was all tasty and low stress for the in-laws, who were most appreciative. - My pa-in-law, very ill last year, was back in form this Christmas, though the feast was by no means elaborate. He cooked an enormous goose in the big covered roaster, and baked some sweet potatoes and made creamed spinach. There was a green salad with vinaigrette to freshen things up after all that, and then sister-in-law did a very nicely booze-soaked buche de noel. Brother-in-law and I had grave doubts about the wine Pops had hauled out from the cellar, two very dusty bottles of a 1964 Nuits-St.-George, and a much more recent Vouvray for dessert. Both of the '64s had evaporated a bit, one down below the neck label and the other just down to it, but amazingly they were both not only drinkable, but quite pleasant. Both were well past their prime, but the first one, the least evaporated of the two, simply lacked any aromatic character but was smooth and had a ghost of fruit, while the more evaporated bottle actually tasted fresher and more vigorous. The Vouvray, which I think was only ten years or so old, was a perfect thing to have with the boozy cake, nice and floral and just slightly tart. A simple enough feast, stunningly satisfactory. I'm still smiling. - Appetizers: artichoke tapenade from a modified Cuisinart recipe, incredibly delicious; anchovy and cream cheese spread; crackers, olives. Really great salad with greens, roasted pepper, goat cheese, vinegrette. Braised leg of lamb (a combo of my SIL's recipe and Molly Stevens, very delish) with roasted potatoes thrown in; brussel sprouts which I sauteed lightly and then steamed, added butter and salt and pepper, best b. sprouts I ever ate, even people who said they never ate them liked these. Fruit salad, homemade cookies for dessert, along with homemade marzipan and torrone that SIL brought. Excellent feast! Only glitch in the day was, I was going to make the Grand Marnier French toast which was described on this thread a couple weeks ago for Christmas breakfast. Went grocery shopping Saturday, couldn't get the leg of lamb until Sunday since the butcher was gone for the day (and I needed the bone end cut to fit it in my pan)... decided to get the challah Sunday also, and ... forgot. Sunday night, store closed, no challah!!! So we had bagels and lox for Christmas breakfast, isn't that traditional? (My DH is Jewish anyway, so it seemed appropriate.) - We were just the five of us - wonderful! Christmas Eve we did a traditional Chinese food takeout, except that we went to a party with loads of great food, so we noshed on the takeout all Christmas morning and afternoon. For dinner: my first rib roast. A lovely eight pound fellow. Plenty of salt and pepper, quick sear stove-top, 325 degree oven, took it out of the oven at 122 degrees, made Yorkshire pudding with the fat and it was a beautiful piece of meat when the giant popover was ready. Thank you all for the help with that! Served peas and forgot the horseradish creme fraiche sauce! DH picked a nice wine to go with. Dessert was caramel pears w/vanilla ice cream. Whew. For five people it was plenty of food, especially considering we were eating all day! We all just sat after that. It was good. - Got to try out a new toy making the tostones: a stainless flat pounding mallet I got at a local Chinese rest. supply house for $15. Nice weight and smooth face to avoid the waffling I was getting with my meat mallet. Boiled 4 lbs of raw peanuts with Old Bay, dry garlic chutney, cayenne, viet sea salt. They turned out very nice. Baked two 6 lb collared pork shoulders as lechon asado on my GrillDome kamado cooker, no smoking wood, just lump charcoal. The golden crust on the surface was sinful, as good as any I've had in Cuban rests. Goya bitter orange juice, garlic, onion, olive oil, with a few hours to work is just amazing. The ropa vieja turned out very nice. Reminded my daughter of a rich Flemish stew she had made with Westmalle trippel. Mashed boiled yuca with chimichurri sauce and Cuban black beans were very tasty. Cuban sandwiches and variations using freshly baked Cuban bread were heavenly. Not personally a fan of swiss cheese, ham, or pickles, I made one up with the lechon and some corned beef, soaked and rubbed with a pastrami rub, and smoked at 210*F over cherry wood, and another with ropa vieja and mashed yuca. - We usually smoke a turkey, but this year there were only four adults so we smoked a duck instead. We did it Chinese-style, using tea leaves in the smoker, following a recipe from Madame T.S. Wong. It was fabulous!! Not a morsel remained. It was a bit laborious. First we did a dry rub with salt and Sichuan peppercorns and let it sit overnight. Second step was a 90 minute steam treatment. Third step was the smoking, which we did on our BBQ/smoker. Final step was deep-frying the bird for five minutes on each side. We served it with homemade lotus leaf buns (those yeasty Chinese buns you get with Peking duck) and Madame Wong's special broccoli. We will definitely do this dish again once our cholesterol levels fall back to normal. - My Christmas Eve feast came out really well. I made the following: Appetizers: Sushi (mango, avocado, surimi) Cod/potato cakes with homemade tartar sauce there was also antipasto brought by my sis Roast Turkey (I got a organic, drug-free, free range turkey from a place called Fresh From the Farm) - I did it low and slow, and simple (lemon, onion, thyme, celery in the cavity and rubbed with butter) - it was so juicy and succulent! Beef Curry - also low and slow and it was very good - like great brisket Cornbread stuffing (made the cornbread first) with pine nuts, fennel, onions, herbs, etc. Chipotle sweet potatoes Roasted beets, fennel, carrots, garlic Green beans with dill, green onions Big green salad with raspberry vinagrette White chocolate raspberry cheesecake - this was a fabulous recipe and I would definitely make it again Gingerbread biscotti - I cooked my very first Xmas dinner this year for my family on the 24th. It went really well! I spent all day in the kitchen (and a lot of time the night before) but it was well worth it. Ordered a fresh turkey which I picked up on the 23rd and brined overnight. Didn't realize how much work it was hauling a 20lb turkey + 60lb of water from a sink, into a cooler, then dragging it all outside to keep cool overnite.. totally underestimated the legwork involved in that part! I wanted to get ambitious, but had to keep the needs/wants of my family in mind. I nixed my mom's usual canned gravy for a pan dripping sauce/reduction and it was like the end of the world for them; "No gravy? Are you mad?!" ;) I think I have opened their minds, though; the turkey was the most flavourful and moist they had ever had, and stuffing was made from scratch - a sourdough/sausage/mushroom mix that they all loved. With some more flavourful favourites, it was an amazing dinner.. and I think I have turned my family on to some new things. Next year I'd like to do dinner with some friends who are much more open to food experiences and go crazy. - We decided to skip the poultry and go with venison this year-- I was a little worried it wouldn't be, well, Christmasy enough, but it was actually great, and so nice not to be in a turkey & dressing induced stupor at the end! Here's what we did, and everyone was perfectly satisfied but not stuffed to the gills: hors d'oeuvres- Duck rillettes with green peppercorns, fried oysters with basil sauce soup- cream of cauliflower with truffle oil & seared scallop main- venison loin with sour cherry/madeira/green peppercorn sauce, mushroom gratin, sauteed chard, & wild rice dessert- pear frangipane tart & chocolate pecan pie There were only 5 of us, though-- any more and we would've really needed a warning oven. - Christmas Eve I made venison meatballs as a snack for the family while we passed the time before going to the in laws (see request for venison meatball recipe, and subsequent results here: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/353776). My mother in law served malfatti, which are sort of a local institution, now only available at one liquor store. They're like an inside-out ravioli, and I find them kind of comforting. She also served her caesar salad, which always has odd things in it like bacon bits or avocado or this time, tiny bocconcini, that just don't go in caesar salad (imho). To accompany the appetizers, my in laws served some special holiday beers that my husband provided, but my mother in law put the kibosh on serving wine with dinner. She goes through these weird fits where she tries to control everyone's drinking, which is hugely annoying. Thankfully, my father in law served Tom & Jerry's after dinner. Christmas Day we had 10 at our home for dinner. For appetizers we had a few cheeses, some leftover venison meatballs, croutons with chicken liver mousse (brought to the '05 SF/Bay Area Chowhound picnic, recipe posted in this thread: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/279828), and the Trader Joe's Alsatian tarte with gruyere, ham and caramelized onion. I've served the tarte before, which bakes right on the oven rack, except for this time, when it stuck and then ripped and bled melty cheese all over the other items in the oven right as my in laws were coming in the door. My mom came to my rescue and we served it anyway. For dinner I did a massive choucroute garni from the Silver Palate, with all kinds of sausage and smoked pork chops. To accompany it I had spinach sauteed with olive oil and lots of garlic, mashed sour cream red & yukon gold potatoes, a butter lettuce salad with champagne-shallot vinaigrette, my Mom's cheesy-jalapeno squash casserole, and my sister-in-law's mother's Portuguese hominy casserole. The self-serve hot cocoa bar and steaming spiced cider were big hits. I served a nice crisp Alsatian Pinot Gris with the appetizers, and Titus Vineyards 2004 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon with dinner. Yes, I work for Titus but that didn't stop the wine from being enjoyed! For dessert we had cookies, fudge, apple crisp and Rachel Ray's chocolate cups, which are ridiculously easy, better than they have a right to be, and becoming a Christmas tradition. Everyone was gone by 4:30, and by 6:30 my husband & I were in our pajamas eating leftovers and drinking wine, and making plans to leave town next year for Christmas.

Speaker of the House John Boehner brought up an old Republican talking point as an excuse for the GOP refusing to tackle unemployment. Could he be any more wrong? VoteThemOut October92014 Walkergate: John Doe Meets Brian Schimel, Candidate For WI Attorney General In January 2012, Wisconsin’s political and legal landscapes underwent a major upheaval when five of Scott Walker’s top aides and close allies were arrested and charged in relation to a John Doe investigation, commonly referred to as Walkergate.One of the five people arrested and charged was Walker’s then Director of Constituent Relations,Darlene Wink. Wink, who was also an officer of the Republican Party of Milwaukee County, was charged with illegal campaigning while on county time and using county equipment. Apparently even then, Walker considered his campaign donors to be his true constituency.
My father bought this John Deere 730 Diesel new in 1960. It was the only tractor, in all his years of farming, that he ever bought new. I was 6 years old at the time and can remember the dealership delivering it on a cold October day in 1960. I started driving it the following spring plowing and disking. This tractor was used for many many years on our farm. I came home one day in 1992 and asked as to where the 730 was. Dad informed me that he had traded it in. I was heart broken. In 2004 I decided I was going to try to find the 730. With serial #7323346 in hand I started my quest. After 8 years of following leads and making phone calls I finally located it. I jumped in the car and proceeded to go look and make sure it was the one. The gentleman told me it hadn’t run for 6 years as we walked to an old barn. He opened the door to an area in the bottom of the old bank barn and there she set. What an emotional moment it was. You could see she had not moved for a while. I asked if he would consider selling it. He informed me that he really didn’t want to sell it. But after 2 years of calling and talking about it the gentleman agreed that it meant more to me than him and he would sell it. I got it home and what a mess it was in. I started doing a total nut and bolt restoration. The day I finally got her to roar back to life was just as great as the day I remember them deliving it to the farm as a child. My father was able to help me some with the restoration before becoming ill. I finished the project just 4 days before his passing. He wasn’t able to see it in person, but was able to see pictures and video of it running. He just smiled and said ” now thats the sound of pure power”. We talked and shared stories about this tractor many times while working on it. He sat down one time, with a calculator, and just smiled and looked at me and said ‘as close as I can calculate we drove this tractor from Indiana to California and back in 4th gear”. This tractor will always be a part of me, my children, and future generations to come.

I made the AHS Anniversary Blonde extract brew today and it was the first time I used Whirfloc tablets. Is that what it is supposed to look like, or did something go wrong? It just looks like a lot to settle in just the sample I used to take the gravity reading. If this is normal, how much should this affect the final volume once everything settles out during fermentation? Whirlfloc scared the he knout of me the first time I used it. Thought I had a real mess on my hands. But like most things, all worked out. As fermentation took place everything settled out just fine. I freaked out the first time I used a whirlfloc tablet, but made for some nice clear beer. Also made it easier to siphon from carboy because the sediment seemed to be more tightly packed and didn't get disturbed as easy. For Original Gravity readings, nothing goes away, just settles. So the slightest knock or bump and you've got break floating around (and eventually settling) again. Got a Question? Always happy to help. Just shoot me a message. Thanks for the replies. I had a feeling that is what caused it, but I wasn't sure since this is only my fourth batch overall. I hope that's what it should look like 'cause that's what mine looks like! mine looks like that too, especially at the bottom of the brew pot. Bottles: JAOM, Apfelwein Kegs: Amarillo Saison, Centenniamarillo Blonde Primary: Blood Orange Hef Secondary: Water spots Mine looks looks like that even when I don't use whirlfloc Good judgement comes from experience, experience comes from bad judgement.
Version 1.1 => Added Ca2+ cofactor. Added inferred return step using a proton relay through waters in the active site between the Asp275 and Glu132 (which are approx 10 angstroms apart). Added Arg136 which affects the pKa of the Glu132. Version 2.4 => KEGG code C05876 has been deprecated within KEGG, and replaced by G00011, this has been reflected in MACiE. Also for this reaction, the "alcohol" product (C00069) becomes G10694. Version 3.0 => Overall comment updated to include the fact that the configuration of the anomeric carbon is inverted during the course of this reaction.
With so many teams entering the NBA playoffs, there can only be one true champion. Lets take a look at the top five teams that are most likely to contend for the championship. 5. Houston Rockets 5. Houston Rockets One of the best teams in the league at both offense and defense, the Houston Rockets can be a very dangerous team in the playoffs. Together, Dwight Howard and James Harden brought the Rockets out of mediocrity and into elite status. Do not sleep on this team when the playoffs do arrive. 4. Los Angeles Clippers 4. Los Angeles Clippers The Los Angeles Clippers are loaded at nearly every position and Blake Griffin is playing like a league MVP. With Chris Paul leading the way, there is no telling how far the Clippers can go in the postseason. The additions of Danny Granger and Glen Davis only makes them that much more of a threat. 3. Oklahoma City Thunder 3. Oklahoma City Thunder Whatever the Oklahoma City Thunder lost with the trade of James Harden and the departure of Kevin Martin, they've gained a little back with Caron Butler. Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook aren't bad either. When the Thunder have two players who can score in bunches like that duo, they'll always be title contenders. 2. San Antonio Spurs 2. San Antonio Spurs The San Antonio Spurs are always a good example of what team sports are all about. They move the ball well, find the hot hand, and always play defense as a cohesive unit. With Tim Duncan being slowed down by age, the Spurs still find a way to get it done. Don't be surprised to see them win one more title in the Duncan era. 1. Miami Heat 1. Miami Heat It would be foolish not to have the Miami Heat at No. 1 after they've won the last two NBA championships. Head coach Erik Spoelstra has the team leading the Eastern Conference once again, and with LeBron James poised to win another MVP, the Heat will be tough to take down.

Questions asked by the same visitor How being supported to live at home can benefit an individual. User: How does risk management contribute to supporting individuals to live at home. Weegy: Everyone had that time as a child when they could not wait to grow up and become independent of their parents. Many people move away from home as soon as it becomes possible for them to make their own living. [ [ However, as life progresses, independence becomes harder and harder to maintain, often leaving children and friends of elderly people feeling lost about what to do for their loved ones. Just because a person has grown older does not mean he is ready to give up his hard-won independence. You can have peace of mind while allowing him to keep as much of his independence as possible. Related Searches: Caring for ElderlyGmail Account Difficulty: Moderately Easy Instructions 1 Discuss your feelings with the person in question. Keep it as nonconfrontational as you can. Focus on how you feel things are going as opposed to what you think she is doing. Bring up your worries and fears about her future. 2 Do an assessment, and include the elderly person in it. You do not want him to feel as if you are taking over his life, but you want to make sure he is actually going to be able to live alone. Total independence is certainly laudable, but at some point it may no longer be feasible. 3 Create an information file. List information on the elderly person's doctor, medications, recent hospitalizations, and friends or relatives near him whom you can contact in case of an emergency. Important financial and legal information, especially a living will, power of attorney and Social Security number should be on hand in case decisions need to be made in a hurry. 4 Become familiar with the resources in the elderly person's area. This is especially important if you no longer live in the area with her. AARP magazine recommends keeping a copy of her local phone book if you can get one. Organizations such as Meals on Wheels are national as well as local. 5 Visit the elderly person regularly, or arrange for regular visitation. 6 Be realistic in your assessment of your ... (More) Question Expert Answered Asked 11/18/2012 4:59:56 AM 0 Answers/Comments explain the importance of providing information about benefits, allowances which could suport the individual to live at home. Weegy: Many local authorities have changed services from residential care to supported housing for people with learning disabilities. Much of this change has focussed on achieving wider access to welfare benefits and having a tenancy. [ [ The aim of supported living to achieve choice, control and community inclusion has been much less of a focus. The result has been a focus on the housing ‘mechanics’ and as a consequence housing rights are often denied in practice, institutional practices continue in supported living and community inclusion and networks are not achieved by people. This three year Department of Health subsidised project, led by the National Development Team for Inclusion (NDTi), will address the need to include community inclusion at the heart of housing planning and design by increasing knowledge, understanding and developing materials to: Design and implement a move from residential care to separate housing and support arrangements based on an aim of community inclusion Develop and implement effective tenancy agreements and include staff training on housing rights Train support providers to deliver support that promotes community inclusion Use an evaluation tool, ‘The Inclusion Web’ that enables providers and commissioners to quantify the impact of new practices around community inclusion. Understand the economic implications of the move from residential care to supported living models The outcomes and learning from this project will be disseminated through a series of discussion and good practice papers, a national conference, national programmes for housing and social inclusion and regional learning disability and housing networks. ] ] (More) Question Expert Answered Asked 11/18/2012 5:11:18 AM 0 Answers/Comments 18,057,397 questions answered Popular Conversations How would you rewrite the equation 2x + 4y + 2 = 3y + 5 in general ...

Here’s an idea I’m instantly regretting: instead of empty open thread posts for playoff games, as we’ve done around here in years past, each day I’m going to attempt to have a hopefully-quick look around at some splits and stats and whatever else stands out on a Jays player’s 2013 season, because… what the hell else is there to do for the next month? Or the next week. Or just today– or however long I actually continue to follow through on this exercise. Today: 5:30 PM ET – Oakland (2) vs. Detroit (1)– Dan Straily (1.2 rWAR) vs. Doug Fister (4.1 rWAR) 8:00 PM ET – Boston (2) vs. Tampa Bay (1) – Jake Peavy (1.5 rWAR) vs. Jeremy Hellickson (-0.8 rWAR) Get news updates on the game as they happen, and whatever else fun comes along the way, by downloading theScore app for free on your moblie device! When the Jays signed Maicer Izturis eleven months ago nobody jumped for joy, except maybe for his agent, who’d somehow managed to land him a contract three years. Yes, the term was a little longer than you’d like to see on a utility player who had posted an on-base over .[[phy_address]] once in five seasons, while what little power he’d exhibited faded to almost nothing. But he had positional versatility, had for years been generally well-liked by both DRS and UZR at second- and third-base, wasn’t budget-busting, was about league-average in terms of his walk rate, struck out less than average (something the Jays felt their OBP-averse lineup needed), was an actual damn switch hitter(!), and seemed a reasonable enough upgrade over Omar Vizquel as an infield backup. In other words, it wasn’t crazy. I mean… shit, in our post when the signing was made official, I passed along a comment from a reader– COUGH Brad Fullmer Fan COUGH– that compared his career numbers favourably, or at least evenly, to those of Marco Scutaro. And when it was first being reported that the two sides were close to a deal, I also opined, somewhat tepidly, that “he’s not nothing. And while in an ideal world he’d be a versatile guy to have on the bench, it’s not even such a horrible thought to consider a guy like that as a fall-back regular for second base– someone you could plant there to give Hechavarria more time in Buffalo, but who can still be pushed aside if Adeiny absolutely forces your hand, or if Izturis fails to maintain his average-ish bat against right-handers or doesn’t return to his career norms against lefties.” Yes, tough as it is to remember sometimes, Izturis was brought in to play alongside a guy like Hechavarria. Funny enough, they did end up next to each other… at the bottom of FanGraphs’ WAR leaderboard for position players! HEYO! By that metric, Hechavarria’s -1.[[phy_address]] edged out Maicer’s -2.1. That it was a disaster of a first season in Toronto for Izturis, then, is beyond obvious. His defence, by both advanced metrics and the eye test, was below sub-par, and the hope for a rebound at the plate was unfounded, as his wOBA slumped to .269, eighteen points down from 2012, and forty-nine points below his 2011. There’s not much sense in dissecting the particulars. Izturis, at least through our TV screens and from the stands, appeared professional and affable enough, despite the disaster that continued unfolding around him until an ankle injury ended his season in late August, but that’s a pretty sad positive to be taking from a season put in by a player still owed a bunch of money over two years. He was bad enough that it’s probably worth paying him the $6-million just to free up the roster space. In that sense, he may end up something of a canary in the mine shaft that is the Jays’ budget– if they keep trying to hump the dream of getting value out of that contract, it might not portend well for the club’s payroll flexibility over the rest of the winter. But what I think is possibly the most troubling thing about the Izturis deal isn’t that, nor is it the huge whiff on the deal in the overall. It’s the fact that signing Izturis was the first example– or perhaps second, or maybe even the third, or… well, an early example– of a series of notable, visible instances in which the Jays seemed maybe a little too far removed from operating under any semblance of a damn plan. Now, obviously the Jays aren’t, top to bottom, as an organization, just making it all up as they go along, and obviously it’s unreasonable to expect that the club can meticulously plan out when opportunities are going to come their way or how they’re going to use the assets they’ve acquired, but consider all this strangeness from the last year or so: - In an obviously futile attempt to add a win-now starter at the trade deadline of a lost season, they deal several prospects (albeit tarnished ones) to Houston for J.A. Happ. - For no particular reason whatsoever, the club signs Jeff Mathis to a two-year contract extension. - After preventing John Farrell from taking a job with the Boston Red Sox after 2011– and demonstrating in the process that they didn’t need to let an under-contract manager leave unless they didn’t actually want him there– the Jays decide that they’ll negotiate a deal to allow their manager to move to a division rival. - The club reportedly gets money approved to make a move for Jake Peavy, only to have it fall apart– granted, perhaps because of the player himself. - Having recently reportedly haggled for a number of days over the price for John Farrell, they flip recently-acquired Mike Aviles and blocked C/1B/3B prospect Yan Gomes for failed starter Esmil Rogers, who has just finished his first and only half-season of success in the big leagues, pitching out of Cleveland’s bullpen. - They sign Izturis to be their utility infielder, then a week later pull off a blockbuster trade, reportedly incorporating the money that had been approved for the Peavy deal, bringing in the very similar Emilio Bonifacio, plus Jose Reyes, Mark Buehrle, Josh Johnson, John Buck, and dealing away the just-signed Mathis. - Alex Anthopoulos flies in John Gibbons, possibly to offer him a bench coach job, then suddenly makes him his manager. - Using two of their top three prospects they acquire R.A. Dickey, in the process ending up with catcher Josh Thole and non-prospect Mike Nickeas (then eventually Henry Blanco), having at mid-season been able to boast Mathis, Gomes, Carlos Perez, and Travis d’Arnaud behind J.P. Arencibia– a poor defensive catcher who, they fail to identify, is about to have one of the worst offensive seasons in the history of the sport. - Arencibia goes to the World Baseball Classic, ostensibly to catch Dickey, because, y’know, he’s going to catch him a bunch during the season, because they’re not really into making Thole his personal catcher. - Adam Lind, we’re told, is going to get an opportunities to hit against left-handers, despite the fact that lefty killer Rajai Davis is on the roster, and that Lind has been hopelessly unsuccessful against them. - Emilio Bonifacio is going to be the second baseman, despite having started just 65 career big league games at the position. - Happ is slated for Buffalo, and Ricky Romero will be the club’s fifth starter. Oh, except Romero stinks up the spring and gets demoted to A-ball for the full Mel Queen treatment. And Happ, little removed from nearly beginning the season in Buffalo, is given a contract extension. - Arencibia struggles mightily to catch Dickey on Opening Day and won’t do so again for the rest of the season. - Bonifacio, it turns out, is nobody’s second baseman, but having pried him away from the Marlins, and having Izturis and Mark DeRosa already on the roster as well, the club hasn’t actually managed to get anyone… y’know… good, especially defensively, and is stuck. - Desperate for starting pitching after a rash of injuries, the club fast-tracks Romero to the big leagues, then loses all faith in him after one shaky start and an absolute disaster. - They similarly throw Sean Nolin to the wolves later in the month. - Brett Lawrie, the club decides, is going to be the solution to their second baseman problem. That is, until they decide he’s not. - Somehow, we’re told, the team didn’t quite take their worsening turf, which was already quite fast, or the fact that they had several catchers not named J.P. Arencibia pass through their ranks, into consideration enough with respect to defence when constructing their roster over the previous year. Now, a lot of that stuff is perfectly defensible, even in the big picture– I should know, I defended much of it at the time. And let’s not pretend that there isn’t tremendous value in flexibility, which Alex Anthopoulos has seemingly tried to make a pillar of his front office, or that anyone should expect the club to be overly rigid about things. But some of it has nothing to do with that at all– some the items on the above list are just forced reactions to mini-crises that were created internally or inadequately planned for, while others simply demonstrate a strange flippancy. And while part of what’s happened is due to a lack of resources, viewed in totality, those sure do look like a healthy number of decisions that don’t appear to have a lot in the way of common thread, or any sort of unified endgame. I’m sure you could find numerous examples like these within the processes of every organization, but that doesn’t make seeing it all laid out in this way any less frightening. And it certainly makes you wonder if such examples of poor decision-making– which we may have seen another of last night, if the club actually tries to laughably sell the letting go of Chad Mottola as some kind of pound of flesh offered up in response to poor bunting or situational hitting this season, after several weeks of management harping on run prevention– are exactly what John Farrell was talking about in mid-August, when he tried to articulate the differences between his old organization and his new one. From our post at the time: “We can have a seminar on this question — not just because it’s Toronto and Boston,” Farrell said. “There are very distinct differences and it starts, I think it starts, at the top. And the reason I say that: I found Toronto to be a scouting-based organization, which to me is on one plane, one-dimensional. You’re looking at tools. Here, it’s a player-development based system. It’s the paths of the individuals that are running the organization. And that’s not to be critical. “We all know that there’s three different veins in this game that people advance (through): baseball operations, scouting, player development. Well, in the player-development vein, you’re going to look at things in three dimensions: mentally, physically, fundamentally to address and develop people, or develop an organization. I think as a scouting base, you go out and you evaluate the physical tools. And that’s kind of where it ends, or that’s the look at that time. That was my experience, that was my opinion.” It’s Farrellspeak, of course, so not immediately apparent, but I’d see what they were saying, I think, if someone suggested that what that list above illuminates is the Jays’ lack of commitment, when you get right down to it, to defined development paths. Their willingness to say “Brett Lawrie’s got the tools to play second, let’s do that,” or “Ricky Romero’s close enough and we need him so let’s try it,” or “Adam Lind’s had a nice run against left-handers, let’s throw away the plan,” or to not bother to see how valuable a guy like Yan Gomes could have been to them; those things do not look quite so bold, or their negatives not so inconsequential, when cast in this sort of light. Of course, as regular readers will understand from how they were digested at the time, that’s hardly the only light those moves can be cast in. There are clear reasons why most of those decisions were made, and they’re rarely that dubious, if at all– the worst ones seem to have been made when the club felt that they had little other choice– so this isn’t to empower the negative suckholes who’ve already decided that everything is fucked, and are desperate to grab a point from which to work backwards and validate their crumby feelings about the club’s inability to deliver on the instant gratification they pathetically think they’re owed, but after the disastrous season we’ve just slogged through, I don’t think the front office has earned the right to let all those actions stand alone in their little vacuums, the way it’s easy to do when you encounter each move days, and weeks, and months apart. I don’t know if I think anything is as bad as this negative-focussed post might make it seem, but seeing Farrell’s comments, and seeing the reversed decisions, and seeing the gameplans not always add up– not to mention the admissions of as much when it comes to defence and the turf– it really says to me that it’s not unfair to sort of wonder, do these guys actually know what the hell they’re doing? Certainly the answer isn’t an obvious “no,” but with the negatives having been so magnified by the expectations and the failures of this season, right now it’s not an obvious “yes,” either.

Corn futures have tumbled [[phy_address]] high in June as exports sagged. Smithfield Foods, Inc., the largest U.S. pork producer, earlier this month said operating profit in its international business fell 61 percent in the previous quarter. U.S. beef exports declined three consecutive months after hitting a peak in July, according to Agriculture Department data. “If the euro falls, it will have wide spread impacts on economies of other countries, including the U.S.,” said Robert Cropp, a dairy economist at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. More sluggishness in the U.S. economy would curb demand for milk and other dairy products, he said, while a likely appreciation in the dollar would curb exports. “Whether the overall impact would be a 2009 repeat is not clear,” Cropp added. In 2009, U.S. dairy product exports plunged 44 percent, to $2.26 billion, according to USDA data. U.S. beef and veal shipments to the European Union accounted for slightly less than 3 percent of total U.S. exports by volume and about 4 percent by value in 2010. Mexico was the largest buyer, at nearly 22 percent of total U.S. beef exports by volume. The EU accounted for about 1 percent of U.S. pork exports by volume in 2010 and about 2 percent of dairy product exports. Whether a heavily-indebted country such as Greece leaves the euro or the common currency falls apart completely remains to be seen. About 45 percent of 190 money managers in a Bank of America/Merrill Lynch survey said they expect at least one of the 17 member countries to leave the euro zone in the “foreseeable future,” the bank said in a Dec. 13 statement As agricultural producers and most everyone else keeps a wary eye on Europe, Texas rancher Bill Hyman is taking a sanguine approach. Europe’s woes are just another item on a list of things a produce has to be concerned about but can’t necessarily control, according to Hyman, Executive Director of the Independent Cattlemen’s Association of Texas.

The corner three is generally considered the most-efficient shot in basketball (outside of dunks, layups, and free-throws). However, as a friend of mine pointed out, the corner three is often a product of good offense rather than a shot teams run sets for (I’m not saying teams don’t run sets to get a clean look at a corner three, just that many times corner threes come from natural drive and kick actions). How many times have you seen LeBron/Durant penetrate into the lane and kick the ball out to an open shooter if/when the defense collapses? By proxy, the number of corner threes a team gives up can measure its susceptibility to penetrate-and-kick actions. So one would think that teams that give up more corner three attempts tend to give up a lot of penetration on drives, or also are teams that over-help.

Late last month, a lot of media attention was devoted to latest GOP frontrunner Newt Gingrich using the word "humane" in a debate answer about illegal immigration, suggesting we should avoid policies that tear families apart. Will erring on the side of humanity sit well with "family values" voters? There was another big story - the brazen dishonesty of former frontrunner Mitt Romney - that received a lot less attention from the media. Instead of obsessing over whether an element of humanity might disqualify Gingrich with some Iowa voters, the media would be better served focusing on whether out-and-out lying should disqualify Romney with all voters. Obama saying, "If we keep talking about the economy, we're going to lose." What the ad doesn't tell you is that this was from 2008 - and that Obama was quoting an aide to John McCain at the time. Here is the full Obama quote: "Senator McCain's campaign actually said, and I quote, 'If we keep talking about the economy, we're going to lose.'" This is so breathtakingly cynical it should cause us to question whether a candidate who would put it forth is fit for any public office - let alone the presidency. This ad isn't about the economy - it's about character. Or at least it should be. Instead, for those in the media who bothered to cover it, it led mostly to a discussion about campaign tactics. Usually the media loves to play up these "character moments," and here was a moment that really did reveal a candidate's character. Along with being deceitful, the ad is also a challenge to the media. It's like when a toddler looks right at you and slowly and deliberately spills a glass of milk. The child wants to see the reaction. It's a test of boundaries. If there's no reaction, then the message is that it's OK. So, what message did the media send with its reaction? This is how The New York Times' Michael Shear covered the ad: "Democrats reacted ferociously on Tuesday to Mitt Romney's first campaign commercial, which they said distorted comments by Barack Obama to make it look as if he was running away from his record on the economy." "They said"? The ad did distort President Obama's comments. It was not a matter of what Democrats said versus what Republicans said - there is an objective reality, and it is the media's job to present it unequivocally. According to Shear, the ad "let Republican voters know that Mr. Romney would take a combative posture toward Mr. Obama." Actually, it let voters know that Mr. Romney would take a lying posture toward Mr. Obama. Politico mentioned the ad several times, mostly as a jumping off point for a discussion of - what else? - campaign tactics. In a story calling the ad "jujitsu" and the lying part of it "the buzziest part," the site wrote: "Today's impending back-and-forth will only elevate Romney and rally conservatives to his side. Most important, by the end of the day, the high command in Boston is confident they will win the argument with voters (especially independents)." And they might well, with media coverage like that. Another Politico story said that the ad is "a microcosm of what a general election fight between Romney and Obama might look like, with Romney leveling explosive attacks on Obama's economic record, and the president working to disqualify Romney as a liar." But, in fact, the ad was not an attack on Obama's economic record (I have leveled plenty such attacks myself and they are perfectly legitimate). It was an attack on the truth. And, given the reaction, it is sadly very likely a microcosm of how the media plan to cover the race. Take "FactCheck.org." Surely a group with a name like that must have been all over this ad, right? "The Obama campaign is in a lather over Mitt Romney's first TV spot, calling it 'a deceitful and dishonest attack' because of an edited quote from 2008," the FactCheck site says. Their conclusion? "That's a matter of opinion." Actually, it's not. Maybe someone needs to launch a site called FactCheckFactCheck.org. Fortunately, there are several in the media who have not yet succumbed to this disease. CNN's John King, for example, called the ad "reprehensible." ABC's Jake Tapper tweeted that the ad was more than misleading, "it's TV-station-refuse-to-air-it-misleading," and that it was "so deceptive it's a lie." In an essay called "Dickens, Dali, and Others," George Orwell wrote: "The first thing that we demand of a wall is that it shall stand up. If it stands up, it is a good wall, and the question of what purpose it serves is separable from that. And yet even the best wall in the world deserves to be pulled down if it surrounds a concentration camp." And the first thing a campaign demands of an ad is that it shall promote the candidate. Yet even the best ad in the world deserves to be pulled - and roundly excoriated - if it is built on a lie. Focusing instead on whether it's a good or bad move politically is a major reason why our political system is so broken.
Today’s match up is covered here by the one and only TJ. But there is a lot more riding on this weekend in addition to the need for a win. As most of Atlanta heads into Spring Break, will the Atlanta Thrashers be heading there as well or will we still be riding the miracle road to the playoffs? Let’s see what happens: Tonight at 7pm the Maple Leafs will match up with the Senators. While the Senators are officially out of the playoffs, Toronto currently sits in 10th place, snugly blocking our path to that coveted 8th slot. Toronto is sitting pretty at the moment, coming off their most recent wins against both our challengers today, the Boston Bruins and the currently 7th slot rulers, the Buffalo Sabres. Speaking of, the Sabres will be squaring off in Washington against the Capitals. Ryan Miller, the Sabres goalie who was injured in the recent game against Toronto, did practice on Friday, but is currently questionable in the start tonight. If the Sabres so much as get into overtime, winning or not, we are are officially knocked out of the playoff race. Also at 7pm the Carolina Hurricanes will be in New York, playing the Islanders. The Atlanta Thrashers are currently 6 points behind the Hurricanes, 4 points behind the Maple Leafs. These two teams are obstacles in our path and we need them to lose so that we can gain those valuable points on them in order to topple the last spot in the playoffs. Unfortunately, the Hurricanes will also be playing on Sunday and, no matter how badly we need them to lose, Sunday they will be hosting the Sabres. The Sabres absolutely cannot rack up a point this weekend…or we are out. It should be an exciting time in the NHL this weekend!

I believe there is a time for all of us when we suddenly loose all the understanding we once had for someone important in our lives. We simply wake up one day and realise we no longer know the person we share a bed with, a life with. Although with things like this one never fully knows if we realised that very morning or if that was the morning we just decided to stop lying to ourselves. It is things like this that we will never know.

A legal awareness book on consumer rights is now available in Tamil. “Nugarvore Raja,” the Tamil translation of “Consumer is King” authored by Rajyalakshmi Rao, Member, National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, was launched at the premises of the Madras High Court on Friday. The book condenses the author’s over 17 years of experience at various consumer fora and guides the reader on going about the process of legal remedy. The publication, which also includes several landmark judgments, has been published in 12 regional languages. Launching the book, Chief Justice of the Madras High Court H.L. Gokhale said the dissemination of knowledge and information was vital for ensuring the efficiency of the institutions mandated with protection of consumer rights. Consumer rights have been given utmost importance at the national level, with the apex dispute redressal mechanism headed by a former Supreme Court Judge and former High Court Judges presiding over the lower courts, Mr. Justice Gokhale said. K. Sampath, former Madras High Court judge and former president State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, who received the first copy from the Chief Justice, said the book would be of immense use to the laity. Former Supreme Court Judge S. Mohan said the book was invaluable, given the dearth of legal empowerment works in Tamil. The publication was also a goldmine of information and would serve as an invaluable guide to the consumer in accessing justice. Ms. Rao said the book was conceived to raise awareness on consumer rights and educate aggrieved persons on the legal remedies against deficiency in goods and services. One of the guiding principles in putting the book together was to explain legalese in simple terms, she said. Padma Narayanan, translator, said the assignment of working on the Tamil version of the book was a learning experience. B. Meenakshi of the publishers Giri Trading Agency also spoke.

CALGARY — Planned and unplanned outages in the second quarter at Syncrude Canada hit the bottom line of its largest shareholder, it reported Thursday. Sales volumes at Canadian Oil Sands Ltd. for the three months ended June 30 averaged 77,100 barrels per day, down from 100,100 barrels per day in the comparative 2013 quarter due to an unplanned outage of Coker 8-1 and the planned turnaround of Coker 8-2. “This was a challenging quarter given overlapping outages on two of our three cokers; however, we are pleased that Syncrude executed the maintenance work safely and efficiently, with the final unit returning to service by early July,” said president and chief executive Ryan Kubik in a news release. The Calgary-based company reported net income of $176 million or 36 cents per share in the second quarter, down 20 per cent from $219 million or 45 cents per share in the same period of 2013. Cash flow came to $240 million or 50 cents, off from $340 million or 70 cents. The loss of production meant Canadian Oil Sands did not take full advantage of higher oil prices — realized synthetic crude oil prices came in at $112.04 per barrel, up from $100.90. The company which owns 37 per cent of Syncrude said it expects total Syncrude production of about 100 million barrels this year, down about three million barrels from earlier estimates. It is assuming Syncrude production will average about 310,000 barrels per day for the rest of the year, which depends on an efficient startup of the Mildred Lake mine trains in the fourth quarter.

Related Articles Published: 21 November 2012 The shopping list, packed lunch and weekly food planning are making a resurgence as increasingly sophisticated consumers battle squeezed budgets, a survey suggests. Asked how they had changed their shopping habits, if at all, 90% said they now write a shopping list before they leave home, 37% plan meals for the full week and 28% are now taking a packed lunch into work, the poll for Sainsbury's revealed. The supermarket's report, called New Fashioned Values, claims that the behaviour and expectations of British shoppers are "undergoing deep and sustained change" as they carefully consider what they buy under the constraints of shrinking budgets. Sainsbury's chief executive Justin King said: "Our customers are recalibrating their spending but they're not prepared to compromise their values. "The credit crunch has not led to a values crunch. We're seeing people from all backgrounds rediscovering some of the shopping habits of the past to ensure they can meet the values-driven aspirations of today. "Although people have less, they actually care more. The downturn has led to a strengthening of values, irrespective of people's income. "We believe this is not a passing phase but a fundamental change that is here to stay." Despite the downturn, Sainsbury's said it had sold 8.5% more sustainably-sourced food in the last 12 months, with more than £1 in every £10 spent on sustainably-labelled products from families on the lowest incomes. While 64% of customers were seeking out more special deals and 22% were buying more dried, tinned and frozen foods, sales of fine wine had increased by 20% year-on-year and sales of top-of-the-range Taste the Difference Bistro meals had increased by 52% in the same period. * Mintel surveyed 2,500 parents of children aged 5 to 12 between June and September.

FULL SYNOPSIS powered by AFI On the Pacific Airlines' flight from Salt Lake City to Los Angeles, the plane hits a thick bank of fog. One passenger assures another that things will be okay as Brad Reynolds is the pilot. Reynolds and his co-pilot, Al Williams, are told by their dispatcher to re-route to Saugus, but Brad safely lands in Los Angeles anyway. Jim Howell, the Southwestern representative for the Civil Aeronautics Authority, and Brad's old adversary, suspends Brad for sixty days. Brad quits in a huff and buys the Comet Airport in Riverdale, California. The airport, except for mechanic Walt Dorgan, is more liability than asset. Brad is even forced to refund his top student Skip Rogers' deposit when his sister Ann tells him that Skip is flying without adult consent. As the bank is about to foreclose on the airport, Brad goes back to Pacific to ask for his old job, but is told that he is too old. The CAA, meanwhile, decides to try a college student flight training program at selected universities, with local airports as the training grounds. Unknown to Brad, Jim convinces Riverdale banker Crandall to get Brad the bid, as nearby Western Institute of Technology is one of the chosen campuses. Brad becomes a college instructor and begins selecting and training his students. Transferring to Western from Texas State is Tommy Howell, Jim's little brother, who becomes Skip's roommate. Skip, unable to get his sister's permission to fly, arranges a meeting between Brad and Ann, who compromise by letting Skip take a ground crew course. During flight training, Tommy acts cocky, but admits to Brad that he is afraid to fly and does so only to please his brother. Brad offers Tommy secret early morning lessons. Jim, thinking that Brad is unfairly grading his brother, gets into a fight with Brad, which is broken up by the arrival of some flight students. During one of Tommy's secret lessons over a cavernous mountain range, the plane's oil line breaks. Tommy panics, forcing Brad to knock him out in order to release the throttle. Tommy, thinking the plane is crashing, parachutes out. Brad lands the plane and convinces a farmer to drive him back to the airport, and then takes a second plane up to search for Tommy, with Skip forcing his way along. They find Tommy hanging by his parachute from a tree over a cliff. Brad lands the plane and climbs the tree to release Tommy. A branch breaks, and Brad falls and injures both legs, making him unable to fly. When they don't return, Walt is forced to tell Dean Norris all. Norris calls Jim and a search begins. The next morning, Skip tells Brad that the search planes cannot see them in the canyon and that he must fly the plane out himself if the two are to survive. Brad agrees, giving Skip strict instructions on how to fly the plane out of the canyon. Skip does so, but unknowingly loses his left landing gear to a mountain top. At Comet Airport, Jim and his boss, Gerald Grant, await word from the search parties. Seeing the plane trying to land without its gear, Walt blocks the runway with his jeep until Jim can take another plane up to warn Skip and Brad. Learning of the problem, Brad tells Skip how to execute a two-point landing. On his second pass at the runway, Skip successfully lands the plane. Tommy, Skip and the others finish their pilot training, as Brad and Ann, now together, watch from below. Walt offers Ann his lucky baby shoes, telling her that, with Brad, she will need them.

Big, defensive minded two guards who can shoot and don’t need to dominate the ball to be effective are a commodity in the NBA these days — think Arron Afflalo or Eric Gordon. I don’t know that he’ll get to their level, but Lamb is in their mold. He’s a lanky 6-foot-5, athletic, has range on his jumper and he’s a potential defensive stopper. In other words, he’s a prototypical new breed NBA shooting guard. Pros for the Pistons I don’t mean this as an affront to Brandon Knight necessarily, but Rodney Stuckey is still the best point guard on the Pistons roster. I’m a believer in Knight’s work ethic, I think he has upside, but the Pistons aren’t in a position to draft for need. Their need is exceptional players. If the Pistons end up picking near the bottom of the lottery, there’s a chance that Lamb could be a better option than reaching for a limited big man. Knight has yet to establish himself as even an average starting PG production-wise, Stuckey is at the very least average (and perhaps more dynamic in Lawrence Frank’s offense) as a full-time PG and Lamb could be the best available when the Pistons pick, depending on who goes where before. So, if a such a far-fetched scenario plays out, would the Pistons take a guard in the lottery? A Lamb-Stuckey backcourt would be intriguing simply because of the size they’d have and matchup problems they’d create. As an effective player off the ball, Lamb could help both Stuckey and Greg Monroe by either stretching the floor with his spot-up shooting or by making sharp cuts to the basket and using his strong finishing ability. And as a team that is supposedly recommitting to a defensive philosophy under Lawrence Frank, a Stuckey-Lamb combo has the potential to be lockdown defensively if both guys commit to that end of the floor. I hope the Pistons aren’t in a scenario where the best player available when they pick happens to be a guard, but it’s still a scenario fans should think about just in case it happens. And if it did happen, Lamb is the type of player I wouldn’t mind the Pistons adding, even if it did require some other roster shuffling. Cons for the Pistons There are definite problems to the scenario above. Namely, what to do with Knight? Opinions on him and his actual ceiling vary more widely than any young player I can remember recently. He has definite positive qualities that he brings, along with some weaknesses — despite technically being the ‘shooting’ guard, Stuckey still handles the ball and initiates the offense more than Knight and turns it over far less. The question really boils down to whether Lamb at shooting guard is an upgrade over Knight at point guard? I don’t have a good answer to that question. If the Pistons believe Lamb is better and take him, that will be two straight lotteries where they’ve ignored a glaring need up front and drafted a player at a position where they have some roster depth. I’m not sure Detroit is willing to do that. As for Lamb’s weaknesses, the one thing I’d be concerned about is the fact that his 3-point shooting declined from a good [[phy_address]] year to a more pedestrian 34 percent this year. I think Lamb’s defensive capability makes him a fit with the Pistons and what they’re trying to build. Whether they’d consider him depends on how much faith they have that Knight-Stuckey is the long-term solution as the starting backcourt. What others are saying The Good: Lamb is a super lanky wing player who can score from just about anywhere on the floor. He’s mastered the art of the midrange game and is equally adept at putting the ball on the floor and getting to the basket. The Bad: He’s struggled with the role of alpha dog in the absence of Kemba Walker. Occasionally he shows the ability to take over games, but he can also just disappear. He too could use a few more pounds on that frame. The Upside: Lamb’s draft stock got a huge bump in the NCAA tournament last year. He’s struggled — a little — to live up to the hype his freshman performance created, but he’s still a very good NBA prospect. Defensively, Lamb has the physical tools to excel, as he has good lateral quickness and instincts and is able to utilize his tremendous wingspan to cause havoc on the ball and in the passing lanes. His energy on this end looked very inconsistent this season, however, not displaying the competitiveness, fundamentals and attention to detail that will likely be demanded from him at the NBA level, particularly off the ball. Lamb’s ability to make plays off the dribble, his late blooming status, physical and athletic tools, potential on D, and versatility has made him a hot name in scouting circles and among NBA execs…There will be a lot of eyes on him this upcoming season to see how he performs in a completely different role and with all-everything G Kemba Walker off to the NBA … Despite not coming home with gold, his play in the U19 World Championships in Riga, Latvia was extremely encouraging. Unlike last season where UConn’s most prolific scorer (Kemba Walker) started possessions with the ball in his hand, Jeremy Lamb requires a functioning offense to get his points. Where Walker could create his own shots and shots for others, Lamb gets his shots in the flow of the offense. I think this, as much as anything, has contributed to the awkward offensive interaction between Lamb, Shabazz Napier and the rest of the team. Lamb should be the team’s go-to-guy, but struggles to create for himself and needs a competent team offense to score. What is the best thing Jeremy Lamb does for his team? Matt McDonough (follow him on Twitter) is the UConn basketball beat writer for The Daily Campus, UConn’s student newspaper: Jeremy Lamb will be in the NBA for a long time to come. Although he would most likely be best suited as a role player on a contender, Lamb is a valuable scoring option to have on any team. His incredible length and work ethic makes his potential very attractive. After two years at UConn, he was more than ready to make the jump to the NBA. As a freshman, he progressed into arguably the second-best player on the team behind Kemba Walker. At times during the Huskies’ postseason run to a Big East and NCAA national championship, Walker deferred to Lamb on offense, even during clutch moments. Lamb is a cool character who shows little emotion and keeps his game-face on and off the court. As exhibited at times during his sophomore campaign, Lamb is not a vocal leader who will take charge of a locker room. Home-schooled during his youth, Lamb is a quiet, reserved player that lets his game speak for itself.
As film becomes an increasingly global business, a new study suggests that women are underrepresented both in front of and behind cameras worldwide. Film and Television Lights, Camera, Knowledge: Hollywood professional shares wisdom of film industry with students, faculty Alan Gitlin, one of Hollywood’s most in demand digital imaging technicians gave a presentation to Baylor’s student chapter of the Society of Motion Picture & Television Engineers on Thursday. A former Baylor film student is bringing his first feature film to Waco’s big screen. Hard to believe it has been 45 years of Sunny Days and Everything’s A-OKs, but PBS stalwart “Sesame Street” indeed turned 45 this month and expanded to include a second, half-hour daily show. Nostalgia sometimes comes in a thick soup of buzzes, beeps, trills and, of course, wakka-wakkas. Could action-packed TV fare make you fat? That’s the implication of a new study that found people snacked more watching fast-paced television than viewing a more leisurely paced talk show. Two dozen white-clad Imperial Troopers and other Star Wars characters marched Wednesday down a stately, tree-lined avenue in Tunis — a site where activists once fought riot police during the 2011 Arab Spring revolutions. Grappling with fast-changing technology, Supreme Court justices debated Tuesday whether they can protect the copyrights of TV broadcasters to the shows they send out without strangling innovations in the use of the Internet. Brian Williams and Bryan Cranston will be there. And Eva Longoria. And Michael Douglas. And Robin Roberts, Aaron Sorkin, Morgan Spurlock and Ron Howard. And Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield, probably in neutral corners. And thousands and thousands of New York-area moviegoers, who are seldom neutral about anything. The storm between the Weather Channel and DirecTV has finally cleared. The network will return to the satellite television provider on Wednesday, the companies said, following a carriage dispute that had left the channel blacked out for DirecTV’s 20 million customers since January.

This won’t be our typical game preview-style post, but here are a few things that you need to know for your Super Bowl experience. You provide the nachos, we’ll provide the knowledge. - Sure Pittsburgh is great against the run, but how much will that actually matter against the Cardinals? Listen, there are few adages in the NFL as accurate as “defense wins championships,” and the first responsibility of a defense is to stop the run. Don’t get us wrong, Pittsburgh is the best team in the NFL at stopping the run, but that ability won’t handicap Arizona like it would any other team in the league. Four of the top five rushing offenses this season were playoff teams from the NFC, and therefore possible Super Bowl opponents for the Steelers. If Pittsburgh hypothetically plays the Giants, Falcons, Panthers or Vikings, this shutdown ability puts the game in the hands of Eli Manning (was last year a fluke?), Matt Ryan (first rookie ever in the Super Bowl, against the NFL’s top ranked defense), Jake Delhomme (did you see the Cardinals game?) or Tavaris Jackson (Tavaris Jackson). Against the Cardinals, though, this doesn’t quite hold the same weight. So the Cardinals can’t run against the Steelers? Big deal. The Cardinals couldn’t run against the first eleven people to read this post (please tell me there’s eleven of you). Arizona, for the record, was dead last in the NFL in rushing offense this season. The Cardinals calling a running play is the equivalent of Journey playing a song off of the new record between “Don’t Stop Believin'” and “Wheel in the Sky” at the local state fairgrounds. You know it’s going to happen at some point in a three hour period, but the results won’t be pretty. Basically, Arizona has the league’s 4th best offense despite owning the league’s worst rushing offense. If James/Hightower/Arrington can’t rush the ball effectively, it’s just another day at the office for Warner, Fitzgerald and Boldin. - Hines Ward’s health and availability is crucial to the Steelers’ success. Hines Ward has been the most consistent offensive weapon for the Steelers this decade, and always seems to show up even bigger during the playoffs. If the Super Bowl MVP Trophy sitting on his mantle at home isn’t evidence enough, look at this year’s AFC Championship Game. After Ward left the game with an injury, Steelers wideouts apparently forgot how to catch the ball (Limas Sweed I’m looking directly at you). Ben Roethlisberger played a very, very good game in the Championship round (better than I think he’ll play in Tampa [yeah, I know the disparity between the opposing defenses]), so had Ward stayed in the game (or had his fellow receivers showed up), the Steelers would have won by twenty. Hines Ward is a combination of a tight end and a #1 receiver. Without him you take away the safety valve of a surprisingly mediocre offense. Roethlisberger is very capable of making many, many mistakes, and he’s playing a defense that, surprisingly, had more take-aways than his own #1 ranked defense. If Ward misses this game, or is noticeably limited, don’t be surprised is Roethlisberger tries to do too much and makes some mistakes. Sure Big Ben’s got a ring, but his 22.1 QB rating in Pittsburgh’s win (gift from the officials) over Seattle is easily the worst performance by a winning quarterback in Super Bowl history. - The biggest matchup in the game has got to be the Cardinals passing game versus the Steelers pass defense. If the Cards can move the ball through the air, even with Pittsburgh knowing that that’s the only thing they really need to stop, then they’ve obviously got a chance to win. The Cardinals did an excellent job of protecting Kurt Warner against Jim Johnson’s elaborate blitz schemes, but Dick LeBeau’s Steelers pose some different challenges for Arizona. The Steelers rarely send the numbers that the Eagles do, but they’re as good as anybody at disguising where the blitz is coming from, which will help give them more bodies to try to lock down Fitzgerald and Boldin. It’s going to be harder than you might think, though. Warner has been as good this season as he ever has at getting the ball out very accurately and quickly. Fitzgerald’s gotten the huge press over the last few weeks, but even if Pittsburgh double teams him all game they still have two more 1,[[phy_address]] receivers to deal with (believe it or not, Steve Breaston has 1006 yards on the season). The way I see it, unless Ike Taylor and/or Deshea Townshead have the games of their career, Pittsburgh will have to choose between greatly reducing their pass rush, or risk some big plays down field. If the Steelers can touch up Kurt Warner and can make Anquan Boldin and Steve Breaston ineffective, then Pittsburgh will most likely be hoisting their second Lombardi Trophy in the last three years. - You’ve got to imagine that the Cards have been watching plenty of the game tape from the Titans’ victory over the Steelers in week 16. In that game, the Titans became the first team to gain 300 yards on offense against the Steelers defense this year. While it’s reasonable to expect that the Cardinals will need to get within the range of 300 yards through the air to pull this game out, what might merit more attention is looking at how Tennessee was able to force Pittsburgh into the most mistakes they’ve made this season. Arizona’s D obviously isn’t in the same league as the Titans, but they do share the ability of taking the ball away from opposing offenses. In the Titans/Steelers game, Ben Roethlisberger threw two picks and fumbled four times (lost two). Hines Ward also had a fumble that was recovered by Pittsburgh. If Arizona can beat up Roethlisberger, while keeping him in the pocket, he’s more than proven himself capable of making some very bad decisions. - Also, if you are watching the game and you see this lady, don’t panic, because we’re not sure if it is actually a lady. The first us Titans fans saw of her, her bag man husband was leading his team to victory in Super Bowl XXXIV. (S)he’s the only reason I would root against the Cards in this one. Alright, so I think you get our point. If Arizona can pass against the Steelers defense and the defense can provide that big play or two (we’re looking at you DRC), then they have a very, very good shot at winning this game. They seem to be on a role right now, and Warner’s experience coupled with the completely awesome unstoppablenessness (yup) of Larry Fitzgerald leads me to believe the Cards will find a way to pull this out. That means you’re going to have to see this Steelers fans. We feel your pain… The Arizona Cardinals defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-24 to win Super Bowl XLIII.
Annie is 5 years old and lives in Las Vegas, Nevada, with her 2 human companions who are both disabled seniors on a fixed income. Annie's Story: Annie came to Grace's doorstep as a scroungy, young puppy (possibly no more than 8 or 9 weeks old). She had no tags or identifying marks/tags. All she craved for was something to eat and something to drink. Grace accommodated. And Annie has been with us now for the past 5 years. So she is almost that old now. I met Annie three and a half years ago for the first time, when I first met my wife (Grace). After a happy marriage shortly thereafter, Annie has remained with us and bonded very well with me. She is a loving and caring companion for both of us. And, as our baby, she finds it difficult to leave our presence. She has a very special place on our bed and knows that she is always welcome to climb aboard any time. Annie has always been a jolly, playful pet who wishes nothing more than to please her owners. Her love extends to our two cats (Trixie -- who has since passed away) and Tiny Baby. She actually helped mothered Tiny Baby from the first day we took her home (Tiny Baby was no more than 6 weeks old at the time. One of the interesting things about Annie is that she stays very close to Grace when I have to leave the house to do errands. She is a very quite dog, never a whimper. Barking was not part of her nature, except when she feels someone present outside the house. Even then, she doesn't bark, so much as make her own, unique noise to alert us. We are so fortunate to have her. And so very thankful that she overcame her recent illness (diabetes). Her Vet is very pleased that her glucose count is exactly where it needs to be. Old people tend to forget things. So, when it comes to Annie's meals and shots, we've learned to set the alarm clock to keep us reminded that it's time to care for her. Our biggest regret is that (because of the diabetes), she has lost much of her eye sight (at such a young age!). Although she is still somewhat active (not as active as before), she still exudes that love that only Annie can give us all. I wish there was some way to bring her eye sight back. Because of our love for her, I even told Grace that I'd be willing to give one of my eyes for her (and truthfully, I would if it would bring her back to the normalcy she once enjoyed!) She is now on a special diet (W/D) and we are administering 13 units of Humulin twice a day. Her appetite is back and she has gain a couple of pounds in the interim. Our biggest heartache right now is seeing her somewhat stumble around (even in the house) because of cataract brought on by the diabetes. Although her spirit is up again, we are feeling sad that she is not up to par. She and Tiny Baby (our 3-year cat) has finally met again. They are buddies and like to romp and play around with each other quite a bit. But right now, Annie is still somewhat subdued; I think because of her lost of sight. She is also buddies with Boomer (our pet cocktatiel). He also is good buddies with Annie and use to ride on her back in playful gesture; and Annie loved that. I don't know if that will take place again. I had Annie's prescriptions filled the day she got home and it totalled about $65. This is a box of syringes (100 count) and the Humulin insulin (supposedly would last one month). The Insulin is 100 units; but we are instructed to give Annie 13 units, twice a day. So I don't think the insulin will last 30 days.
Arsenic in rice production study Dustin Harrell, LSU Agcenter agronomist at the Rice Research Station here, is participating in a multistate study on arsenic in rice to determine if levels of the element are higher in different varieties and to see if varied flooding methods affect arsenic content. “Can we change the water management practices to alter the uptake and accumulation of arsenic in rice? That’s what we are investigating,” Harrell said. All plants naturally absorb arsenic from the soil, but rice tends to absorb more because it is growing in a flooded, anaerobic condition. This makes arsenic more available for uptake by the plant, he said. The different flooding regimes being used include: – The traditional drill-seeded, delayed-flood management practice, where a flood is applied after the rice reaches the three-to-four-leaf stage of development and is left until two weeks before harvest. – Intermittent flooding, where the initial flood is held for two to three weeks, then allowing the flood to evaporate until mud is exposed, followed by pumping water to a 2-4-inch depth. – Semi-aerobic rice management, where flushing is conducted regularly, but aerobic conditions are allowed to persist. – Straight-head management, where the rice is flooded for 10 days to two weeks followed by draining until the soil cracks, followed by re-flooding until draining for harvest. The testing is being conducted in all rice-growing states, including Texas, California, Mississippi, Arkansas, Missouri and Louisiana. Harrell said the flooding practices that allow the field to drain will require more weed management, which will increase herbicide expenses and disease pressure and reduce grain yield. Varieties being tested are CL151, Cheniere, Presidio and Jupiter – along with hybrids CLXL729 and CLXL745. Harrell said all rice samples will be milled at the Rice Research Station and then sent to a lab for determining inorganic and organic arsenic content. He said results should be available by the spring of 2014. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has recently reported the results of testing and concluded that there are no health issues associated with arsenic in rice and rice products. “This study is simply long-term research to allow Louisiana rice producers to produce the safest, most nutritious rice available for our customers,” said Steve Linscombe, director of the Rice Research Station.

So the best way to explain what this blog is for is to show my progression through pics… I always had a love of fuzzy things! Then later the need to produce art took hold on me! School was an interesting experience! I have many fond memories! Then I became a teenager…1960’s Rocked!~ I think that is where things got confusing…Really! Do you know people who grew up in the 60’s?? And how many many of them are ADULT? I don’t mean responsible…I mean most of us of that generation are still looking for the next fun thing to do!!!! For example, compare the June Cleaver generation to US. LOL! We are soooo much more Cool! We love Boho because we are the original Bohemians! Long hair and skirts, jeans and flip flops! We are Cool. We surf… We Bike… We run… We Travel in STYLE! And some of us just got stuck in time! YIKES…No that is not me! Wow! Ok this is what I mean by the 60’s left some of us confused!
Worship takes place at appointed seasons and places. The religious calendar is thus of great importance for the worshipping community, since communities associate worship with critical times in the life of the society. The hunting, planting, and harvesting seasons are of special importance. The beginning of the year (at the time of the spring or fall equinox or of the summer or winter solstice, normally), of the new moon (occasionally, the full moon), or of the week is viewed as an especially auspicious time for acts of worship. Special festivities peculiar to the community’s geographical or historical existence also provide fixed occasions for worship. In communities with an elaborate structure for worship, the day frequently is divided into appointed periods for worship (e.g., in Christianity among monastic communities and in Islam). Days commemorating the birth (e.g., December 25 in Christianity) or death of the founder of the religion may be of special significance for worship. Commemoration of the lives of the saints also involves special prayers and acts of devotion for certain communities.

Stream WZTV Fox 17 Newscasts LIVE starting with Fox 17 This Morning at 5am and News at 9pm. The man who became a household name during the 2008 election is facing backlash for comments he made in an open letter to the families of the victims in the University of California shooting. Samuel Wurzelbacher, better known as Joe the Plumber, writes "I am sorry you lost your child" he continues, " I, myself, have a son and daughter and the one thing I never want to go through, is what you are going through right now. But, as harsh as this sounds, your dead kids don't trump my constitutional rights." His open letter, published on the conservative blog "Barbwire," comes one day after Richard Martinez, the father of one of the victims, spoke out blaming the NRA and politicians for his son's death. Samuel says he can't take a step in Martinez's shoes, but that he will continue to speak out for his right to own a gun. Last Friday, Elliot Rodger first stabbed his three roommates to death before he headed toward a sorority house. There, he shot and killed two girls who were passing by.

It is the responsibility of all Nursing students while in the BSN program to keep open all lines of communication, so all staff and faculty in Nursing or other UW Bothell and University departments may be able to reach you at any time through a variety of communication mediums. Specific responsibilities are posted below. All UW departments, including Nursing, all UW Faculty, staff and other students will use your official UW e-mail address (which is [[email_addr]]) to communicate class information, registration information and much more. Therefore, we require you to set your UW Email forwarding to an email account that you will check daily. You most likely did this at the time you applied to our program, but to check your email forwarding settings and update them at any time as needed, please go to manage your UW NetID resources and click on Email Forwarding on the side menu. Any physical mail for Mount Vernon cohort students will be brought up to the Mount Vernon campus by the Mount Vernon cohort academic advisor. Generally speaking, the only mail brought to campus will be papers from classes from the previous quarter, but there may be other things delivered too. It is essential that we have your current address, email address, and telephone number in order to communicate with you. You have an opportunity to update your address information every quarter when you register, but if you have updates to make after that, please change your address using the MyUW Web site. Your address information is confidential and will not be divulged without your permission. It is important that your legal name appear on all your official student records. The name on your official records (transcripts, diplomas, etc.) may not be changed until such time as the name change is legally documented. To change your name, you must fill out a Change of Name form available at the UW Bothell Registration office (UW1-160) and submit it with appropriate documentation. The Mount Vernon academic advisor can bring you a copy of this form. All Nursing students are subscribed to a class email list. This email list will provide you with upcoming deadlines, quarterly registration information, special events, general announcements, graduation information, and more. Please be sure to read these emails. About 91 percent of all UW Bothell students are from the state of Washington.
