Week in review: 'Ghost Rider's' back; challenges of 'This Means War'
It's been five years since 'Ghost Rider' caught fire at the box office, earning $115 million when it opened in February 2007. The sequel debuts today, and the lag time hasn't seemed to dampen audiences' enthusiasm for the Marvel property. And while its star Nic Cage often has a spotty track record, his role as Johnny Blaze seems still to be a winner, enough so to outshine the box office lure of Reese Witherspoon, who appears alongside up-and-coming young actors Chris Pine and Tom Hardy in the McG action-romance "This Means War."
Times reporters Nicole Sperling and Steve Zeitchik discuss the marketing challenges of the Witherspoon comedy and the strange career of Cage.

Lindsay Lohan is at the center of another drama after cops were called to a house in the early hours of Wednesday morning to investigate allegations of an altercation between the actress and her mother.
The actress and her mom, Dina, reportedly got into an argument on their way back from an evening out at a nightclub in New York City and the dispute allegedly turned nasty after they arrived at the family home in Long Island, according to TMZ.com.
The website reports Lindsay sustained a cut to her leg and broke a bracelet in a scuffle, and cops attended the scene after a 911 call was made from the property reporting a domestic violence incident.
Police officers were still at the scene as WENN went to press.
The news comes a week after the actress was involved in a dramatic incident at a hotel in Manhattan, where she claimed she had been assaulted by 25-year-old Christian LaBella after he allegedly took photos of her without permission.
LaBella was arrested, but charges of misdemeanor assault and harassment were later dropped.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
EEOC Said Government Contractor Fired Older Employee
BALTIMORE – A government contractor that provides technology services to the U.S. Army at its Aberdeen, Md., location will pay $60,000 and furnish other relief to settle an age discrimination lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today.
In its suit (Case No. 1:08-00548-WMN) filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland), Jacobs Technology, Inc. failed to reassign and/or hire Jerry Overbay, born in 1948, into an alternate position and subsequently discharged him, based upon supposed customer preference, because of his age. Overbay had been consistently promoted throughout his tenure with the company since 1988 and was in his late 50s at the time of his termination.
The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) prohibits employers from taking actions against employees 40 years and older based on age. The EEOC filed suit after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement.
In addition to the monetary relief to Overbay, which represents back wages, the consent decree settling the suit provides that Jacobs Technology, Inc. be enjoined from engaging in any employment practices which discriminate on the basis of age (over 40), post notices stating its commitment to maintaining an environment free of age discrimination and provide mandatory training to all its managers, supervisors and other officials who participate in its hiring or reassignment decisions at its Maryland facilities, regarding federal laws prohibiting discrimination in employment, particularly those concerning age discrimination.
"Ageism is a way of stereotyping and marginalizing people," said EEOC Acting Regional Attorney Debra M. Lawrence. "Employers have a responsibility to provide everyone the freedom to compete in the workplace on a fair and level playing field, regardless of age."
During Fiscal Year 2008, the EEOC received a record 24,582 age discrimination charge filings, a 29 percent increase from the prior year and a 65 percent jump from the number of filings in FY 2005 (14,893).
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

The da Vinci Surgical System is the only commercially available technology that can provide the surgeon with the precision, dexterity, and control of traditional open surgery, while only requiring 1-2 cm incisions.
Features of the da Vinci Surgical System
The da Vinci Surgical System consists of an ergonomically designed surgeon's console, a patient cart with four interactive robotic arms, a high-performance vision system, and patented EndoWrist instruments.
At the da Vinci console, your surgeon operates while seated comfortably, viewing a highly magnified 3D image of the body's interior. To operate, the surgeon uses master controls that work like forceps.
As your surgeon manipulates the controls, da Vinci responds to your surgeon's input in real time, translating his or her hand, wrist and finger movements into precise movements of miniaturized instruments at the patient-side cart.
da Vinci's patient cart holds up to three EndoWrist instruments and one 3D camera. To access the target anatomy, your surgeon introduces the precisely controlled EndoWrist instruments into the body through a series of dime-sized incisions. A broad range of instrument types are available to help your surgeon perform specialized surgical tasks with precision and control.
While clinical studies support the effectiveness of the da Vinci® System when used in minimally invasive surgery, individual results may vary. Surgery with the da Vinci Surgical System may not be appropriate for every individual. Always ask your doctor about all treatment options, as well as their risks and benefits.

Mosaic Artist Creates Celebrity Portraits from Trash
Mosaic artist Jason Mecier believes when you call a celebrity "trashy," you should mean it.
As part of his Celebrity Junkdrawers collection, Mecier makes incredibly creative portraits of stars using things the rest of us would normally throw away (one man's trash is another man's…Kathy Griffin visage).
Andy Warhol is depicted using items including dead batteries and, of course, Campbell's soup cans. Tammy Faye Bakker's likeness is comprised largely of empty cosmetic bottles and tubes. And Griffin's portrait is made up of celebrity photos and other things she's snarked on in her live specials and on her reality show.
Other celebs to get the treatment include Billy Bob Thornton, Lady Gaga, Barack Obama and many more.

You may be shocked to recognize that the body goes through a series of response whenever one decides to choose a cleansing procedure, and the results are more popular in the preliminary days as one decides to proceed.
This is due to the fact that when one opts for a detox clean, the develop of contaminants are launched simultaneously. And this generates a host of undesirable signs, a few of which may consist of tiredness, body pains, low energy and bloating.
So this offsets an unpleasant experience!
It's truly crucial to comprehend the signs and their hidden systems too, such that a person can find out a treatment for the very same and not suffer unless one needs to.
Let's gone through what detox signs truly indicate and how does one clear them up.
The hidden factor is the unexpected state of shock that the body is needed to endure, and the body would object! Some withdrawal signs are included, however it is basically enjoyable!
1. Skin Breakouts:
In reality the more one consumes the more prone to acne one ends up being. As one over takes in fats from nuts, seeds or perhaps supplements such as cacao, it triggers the skin to break out.
So a low fruit vegan diet plan might be the service.
So the very best method of handling it is enjoying your fat consumption.
Acne need not always be connected to diet plan, however while going through a detox clean, individuals in some cases experience acne. In specific if one modifications his diet plan unexpectedly.
2. Severe Yearnings:
Now if you remove salt from your diet plan, you may wind up yearning for salted foods. So rather of removing salt entirely, you might opt to utilize some high quality sea salt such that your body gets salt in small amounts.
If you are yearning for sugary foods or fatty foods, it actually does not suggest that you are not getting adequate calories. Simply increasing your fruit consumption may work effectively to pleasing your craving for sweets.
Individuals extremely frequently report that they feel severe yearnings, however in truth, these are not always straight associated to detoxing.
3. Tiredness & Low Energy:
One is most likely to feel the read more tiredness or experience low energy levels if one takes in less than 1500 calories daily, which's since the nutrition would be inadequate. In the exact same method, if one minimizes one's calorie consumption to 1200 calories, it would reveal upon your metabolic process and result in extreme energy shifts.
Vegetables and fruits are large, and you might feel you are consuming a great deal of food, when in truth, you aren't getting enough calories. You might decide to fix the matter by keeping a count of the variety of calories you take in daily.
When one is on a rigorous diet plan, it is really simple to under consume, when on a juice quickly, one is certainly under consuming.
4. Headaches/ Body Pains:
Way of life conditions take a toll on our health and with time, impacts of aging ended up being more popular. These way of life conditions, such as irregular sleeping patterns, long taking a trip hours and defective consuming practices work to amplifying the toxicity levels in the body.
If signs continue for around a week, it may show that a modification is required, or you might even be needed to obtain in touch with your physician.
Headaches and body pains are uncommon signs and might not have anything to do with an unexpected modification in diet plan or way of life. However if one enjoys some strong workout, one may need to deal with these signs.
A few of the associated issues individuals discover consist of tiredness, repeating body pains as well as weight problems.
If you do feel short-term pains and discomforts in very first couple of days of altering the diet plan you have, it is most likely than not to be mental in nature. It actually so takes place that when you go on a detox diet plan, you need to attempt and be active familiar with more info your body. You 'd be more susceptible throughout the detox clean, so you may wind up feeling a body pains which you would otherwise ignore with ease.
However by opting for cleansing, we concern recognize that the mind and body operate in unison to guarantee that we discover more energy in our daily life!
Or it may be that as you body works to coping up with the modification, the disruption may radiate outwards causing a body pains.

Astros County Top 25 Prospects: 25-21
In order to add some semblance of structure to these rankings, I judged a list of about 50 players on four categories: ceiling, floor, production, and intangibles.
Because I don't feel like writing this as a novel, let's break it up a little so I can spend a couple seconds on each player.
25. Jonathan Villar
"But wait, how can you rank a guy 25th when the experts have him in their top 10?" Honestly, I'm not a Villar fan. The tools are definitely there, and I think he has one of the higher ceilings in the system, but I have doubts that he'll ever put it all together. Between his lackluster production to date, and his questionable make-up I still feel like he could flame out at any minute. But if he pulls it all together this year and proves me wrong, I'll be one of his biggest cheerleaders. This toolsy shortstop will probably spend the year in AAA, but he's still fairly raw. Villar was signed by Philadelphia out of the Dominican Republic and came to Houston in 2010 as part of the Roy Oswalt deal.
24. Marc Krauss
Marc is a power-hitting corner outfielder who is also capable of drawing a walk. After repeating at AA last year, he'll likely start the season at AAA and could show up in Houston late this season. He was a 2nd round pick for Arizona in 2009 and came to Houston in the Chris Johnson trade last year.
23. Jiovanni Mier
Yep, Mier ranked above Villar. That just happened. Prior to a pretty bad hamstring injury this season, Mier was showing us why he was a #1 pick in 2009 (Lancaster caveat). He's a more polished fielder at shortstop with a better eye at the plate and, in my opinion, a better makeup than Villar. His ceiling may not be as high, but I think he's more likely to stick around for a little while. Assuming Villar moves up to AAA, Mier will probably be in Corpus this year.
22. Joe Musgrove
Musgrove is a big right-handed starter who battled injuries in 2012. If his health comes back and, with it, his velocity as well he could start moving up the list. He was a supplemental first round pick for Toronto in 2011 and came to the Astros organization as part of the multi-player trade with the BlueJays this year. I doubt Musgrove plays full-season ball this year, so I'll say he starts the year with Tri-City.
21. Chia-Jen Lo
Lo has bounced around the prospect radar for a few years now. Remember when he was the winning pitcher in the same Futures game as Jason Castro? Well, since then he's thrown just 47 innings in the past three seasons. After injuries threatened to derail his career, he came roaring back in 2012. Lo was signed as a reliever out of Taiwan prior to the 2009 season. I'd expect him to start out at AA and could move up very quickly if his arm and production hold up. We may even see him in Houston in September.

Good write up. It's amazing how some of these guys were higher up on the list before but because our trades have infused more talent these guys have fallen back. We just really need another couple of really good prospects to put us over the top.
- December 28, 2012 at 1:05 AM
Trostel, interesting list. I am surprised on the placement of these guys. I wont necessarily say that I would think some would be higher until I see the rest of your list and who you got.
I am surprised to see Krauss and Lo ahead of Villar for sure. With the Krauss spot I was guessing that you valued floor a little higher than ceiling, but the Lo placement kind of goes against that since the injury capability provides big bust potential. Add in his age and I doubt he will show up on to many prospect lists. Krauss to me has the ceiling of a fourth outfielder given the inability to stick anywhere in the field. I would take Villar over Krauss.
Still nice list, it's good to have something to discuss this time of year.

- Juvenile Court Clerk - Bryan Trostel said...
I was a bit surprised myself once all the dust had settled. I think what it boils down to is, outside of the top 10 or so, the rest are really closely bunched together.
More to come!
- December 28, 2012 at 6:28 PM
True, it gets to a point that once the consensus guys are done then you could make an argument for the rest of the C+ guys to be listed in any order.
When it gets to those guys I still like to put the high upside low floor guys over the high floor low upside guys. I also look at who the organization decided to protect and who they gambled with. The fact that Villar was added to the roster while coming off of a down year and the injury says the Astros think highly of him whereas the decision to leave Krauss off the roster gives the impression that they are not quite as high on Krauss. Don't get me wrong, glad we didn't lose Krauss though.

I agree with the assessment on Villar. I've seen him the last two years in Corpus Christi. While his bat is good...his fielding and maturity leaves something to be desired. I seen him airmail a ball over 1st base. When your overthrowing a guy like Jimmy Van Ostrand in 2011 it says something about his aim. Plus punching a door because you struck out during a game we were winning points to his immaturity, I guess he wasn't happy with his lead-off homer to start the game. Villar made a token appearance at the need of our season. It was a foolish mistake that the Astros punished him for....he definitely didn't help himself with Fred Nelson being at that game. Krauss impressed me the short time he was with the Hooks. He did struggle against Triple-A pitching with his promotion.

The World Bank is the frequent target of criticism, protests, and even riots. Critics feel the organization exerts a disproportionate influence on the economies and policies of less powerful nations. As a large, transnational bureaucracy it can be impenetrable at the best of times, moreso if those manning the fiduciary barricades are resistant to change.
Perhaps it is the persistence and extravagance of its detractors, but for whatever reason, the World Bank is taking steps toward greater transparency. It announced yesterday that it would be instituting a new "Open Access policy for its research outputs and knowledge products" begining July 1.
The implications of this policy "for authors, enables the widest possible dissemination of their findings and, for readers, increases their ability to discover pertinent information."
The policy's full title is "World Bank Open Access Policy for Formal Publications," and the Bank says it will apply to "manuscripts and all accompanying data sets... that result from research, analysis, economic and sector work, or development practice... that have undergone peer review or have been otherwise vetted and approved for release to the public; and... for which internal approval for release is given on or after July 1, 2012", as well as the final reports prepared by outside parties for the Bank.
It is hardly an invitation for the public to stroll around in the guts of the World Bank and mess up the furniture. But it is—and this is important in a bureaucracy—a pretty explicit set of commandments (and warnings) that the work of those at the World Bank can and might be made public.
As this policy's first phase, the World Bank has launched the Open Knowledge Repository, where all the Bank's public products will reside for public reading and download.
The World Bank products covered by the new policy are by default to be published under a liberal Creative Commons license (CC BY). Third-person material will be licensed under a somewhat more restrictive policy (CC BY-NC-ND 3.0).
According to Creative Commons' Diane Peters, the Repository "reinforces scholarship norms" and "has been built with an eye toward maximizing interoperability, discoverability, and reusability by complying with Dublin Core metadata standards and the Open Archives Initiatives protocol for metadata harvesting."
Over 2,100 books and papers from 2009-2012 are already available in the Repository, including "The Elderly and Old Age Support in Rural China: Challenges and Prospects," "Pacific Islands—Fisheries sector engagement strategy," and "Appraising the Thailand village fund."
"Making our knowledge widely and readily available will empower others to come up with solutions to the world's toughest problems," World Bank Group President Robert B. Zoellick said in the Bank's announcement.
Over the next year, the World Bank will roll out the policy and roll in publications to the Repository.
The new policy and the Repository are the latest stages in the World Bank's efforts and openness. They were preceded by April 2010's Open Data Initiative, which allowed access to "more than 7,000 development indicators, as well as a wealth of information on World Bank projects and finances," and the Access to Information Policy (July 2010).
Open access is not a new trend. The question of whether open-access scientific journals could even survive was asked on this site over seven years ago. Desire for access grew in the interim.
Only two months ago, the Federal Research Public Access Act was introduced in Congress.
That act would "significantly shorten the waiting period between publication in a subscription journal and the point where a paper is made open access, dropping it from a year to six months. It would also expand the scope of the policy, applying it to any federal agency with a budget of $100 million or more."
Quite aside from the benefits it may bring to the institution or organization willing to chance it, access is one of those habits-of-thought that seem difficult to reverse once they gain any kind of purchase on the public imagination. (Not that there isn't always someone who will try.)
An exciting question which follows from this announcement is what kind of tools enterprising geeks might build on what could be an unprecedented amount of data on international economic development.

Here is the latest from the 10 Maple Lane Retrofit Project.
Met with Bill Stewart on Monday and signed an agreement for:
I also asked them to move the filter to the return grill so that I don't have to crawl around in the attic to change the filter every few months. And we may replace our very noisy bathroom fan and this time vent it to the outside instead of into the attic.
All this should earn us a rebate of $2,000, plus $300 back from PG&E for the test in. Our cost should be about $5,500 total before rebates. Some of the measures we are choosing— moving the filter and replacing the bathroom exhaust fan, are good measures but won't qualify for rebates. We just figured it would be a good time to have these things done.
We decided to leave the HVAC system as is besides having the ducts sealed. We want to reach 10% duct leakage, the minimum to earn the duct sealing rebate, and hopefully even less. I installed a Chimney Balloon and put gaskets behind all the switch plates and outlets in exterior walls. I put some metallic tape around places in the air handler that were obviously leak spots and I think Bill's crew will do more of that. Our big hope for the future is to replace the furnace and duct system with a mini-split heat pump and as few inside units as possible. A better insulated and sealed house is a plus no matter what we use as a heat source.
But here is some surprising news: I was putting out the trash and noticed some plugs in the wall on the North and Northeast corner of our house (see photo)! I never noticed them before. There are two rows of them, one at about chest level and the other close to the eves, about 16 inches apart! So I think a portion of the exterior walls have already been insulated. I took off a few socket or switch wall plates and looked in carefully behind the junction box to see if there is any insulation visible in those walls. It looks like a previous owner kept the South, Southeast, and West sides uninsulated, I'm guessing to take advantage of solar gain in the winter. We do notice that the North side of the house is a lot cooler than the rest. I wrote to Bill to let him know. It should cut down on the cost.
Anyone hear of insulating only some exterior walls to take advantage of winter sun in Northern CA?
Interesting what gets hidden inside the walls of 63 year old houses. It's also interesting what homewoners notice and when. I must have emptyed the trash hundreds of times but never noticed the "plugs" in the wall until we decided to add insulation to the walls.

Hi Jim,
Yes the energypro 5.1 credits you for the wall insulation but in some climate zones it penalizes you because your cooling loads are calculated as if you have an old AC system.
I was told the thought behind it was people would put in an AC system later so the CEC decided to make house show an AC system whether they have it or not. If you have some hot days and no efficient AC shown you are penalized by the additional wall insulation as the heat cannot get out of an insulated wall as quickly. So you are penalized at the higher rate for AC even though you have no AC.
That is why we stopped doing EUC in the costal climate zones. Made no sense not to insulate them and open the windows occasionally.
We also try to only inject from the inside of the house so we do not penetrate the vapor barrier.
Yes and with proper insulation and sealing we can usually save a homeowner 40% on there overall bill. So I am a huge believer in Passive Home technology. As it is the most cost effective, the home is always more comfortable, and it works day and night without any further costs for the balance of the useful life of the house.
Hi Jim. Thanks for your comments. The software that the Energy Upgrade program uses does credit wall insulation, but we do have an HVAC system (just the furnace). Not yet ready to go Passive House! They are using EnergyPro 5.1 for modeling purposes. We aren't using foam, unfortunately, but cellulose. Yesterday while the crew working with Stewart Heat and Air was blowing insulation into the walls from outside, we got a cellulose shower in the shower! There is a big gap I have to fill around the shower-head supply pipe/wall interface.
I was surprised that insulating my walls would make a big difference, in our climate. I thought a sealed and insulated attic floor was the best you could do for the money.
Yes we inject walls with a pre expanded foam individually for both energy and sound.
Many times it is a room that is always to hot or cold. It is amazingly effective as it both seals and insulates.
We use a thermal imaging camera to locate the studs and the blocking. Then after injecting we check the walls again with the camera. The foam has a catalyst which heats it is very easy to see if we missed anything as the foam shows up as bright red where it has been injected.
It would be much better to do the whole building but sometimes do to monetary constrains the client doe not wish to.
We use 2" holes as it is gives the installer a better feel for how the injection is going.
Did you have problems with the modeling in your climate zone if you do not have hvac. In our coastal climate zones we can get heavily penalized for adding insulation to the walls. The modeling software and CEC penalize you for heat loads if you do not have a HVAC system. So the more insulation you put in the walls the lower your energy score goes! Clients looking for rebates only sometimes chose not to insulate the walls?
Thanks George. You give me a lot to ponder, but thanks for affirming what we are doing right! We are in it for the long haul and every time we do an upgrade or replace an appliance it is a chance to explore and learn new things about our house. Sure makes the articles I edit for Home Energy come into three dimensions and in full color.
I am glad to be a part of a community where I can share experiences and ideas with some really smart and experienced people such as yourself.
In the winter uninsulated walls will loose far more heat than they gain, will be cold & uncomfortable, and encourage mold growth. In the summer they will gain far more heat than they loose, and be hot & uncomfortable. The north wall is cooler because it gets less sun as well as it's insulated.
I'm not surprised that wall insulation provides so much calculated savings.
I have always recommended wall insulation. Unfortunately 20 years ago the practice was 3/4" holes, 16 o.c., and to this day I still see 1" holes. The problems? they are too small to probe to check for blocking, and adjacent studs, so cavities get missed. They are also to small to insert a hose into the cavity, so the a nozel is used to install the insulation, and you can't densepack (>=3.5# cu. ft.) and get the air leakage benefit.
When I was in the predecessor to EUC, the RCP (Residential Contractor Program) we were required to use a 1-1/2" hole, within 1' of the top of the wall, and a maximum of 4' apart. 1-1/2 is about the minimum size that you can probe easily, especially with stucco over 7/8" sheathing.
When I started blowing walls myself, I went to a 2-1/2" hole, and a 1-1/2" hose inserted into the cavity to densepack.
I'm not sure if it's better to insulate walls wrong than not at all. The cost to go back, re-drill and densepack would be as much as doing it right in the 1st place.
Air sealing is always a good thing to do, but probably does not show much savings in the calculation.
I can get most existing duct systems below 6%, lower is better. Unfortunately your previous test results showed they were tighter, but now leakier again.
Crawl space vapor barriers are another always recommend item, it's so much nicer to work in a clean & dry crawl. Of course the benefit is reduced moisture, dust, and gasses (if fully sealed), not energy use.
Your "62%" efficient furnace, would have been below federal minimum for the time. I've tested wall & floor furnaces as well as central furnaces (with & without fans), and almost always 80% of the heat does not go up the flue / vent. Any central gas furnace (with a fan), and natural draft I would consider to be 78 AFUE (pre 1978 75 AFUE would be a valid according to CA Energy Code), with a fan induced flue / vent it would be 80%.
Tweaking values in energy modeling to get results seems to be a common issue from what I see. People want to downgrade insulation based on poor installation, but the energy code software already does this (EnergyPro & Micropas) unless it's Verified by a HERS Rater as QII (Quality Insulation Installation) or Grade 1 (RESNET).
Unlikely the walls were left uninsulated for passive solar gains (minuscule compared with windows, regardless.) My guess is that the walls that got insulated were having interior mold issues, and the owner only insulated the walls he/she had to for that problem.
Cool! Be interesting to have some basic numbers for orientation.
Blower door #?
Duct leakage? ...to outside?
Square footage?
Annual KWH. Annual therms.
Some of the measures we are choosing— moving the filter and replacing the bathroom exhaust fan, are good measures but won't qualify for rebates. We just figured it would be a good time to have these things done.
Nicely illustrates one of the many perversities of EUC incentive structure. That, and the fact they are paying for nearly 50% of the improvement.

And then there were four. Brooke, Sheldon, Josh and Lizzie disembark from the Celebrity Cruise ship in Juneau, Alaska. They are all thrilled to be there, though Sheldon's Hawaiian faculties are not accustomed to the climate: "I better throw on a couple extra underwear just so I can keep the package nice and warm, you know?"
The shivering chefs meet Padma and guest judge Sean Brock at Juneau's top culinary destination: Tracey's King Crab Shack. Their Quickfire challenge is to "take this near-perfect ingredient and make it shine in a dish." Chef Brock, who hails from Charleston, tells them he's been on a flight for 13 hours to eat Alaskan King crab. "Please don't let me down."
The chefs have 30 minutes and the winner will receive $5,000. They get to work, all of them sampling the crabmeat heavily as they prep. "I'm not going have any crab left to use because I can't stop eating it," Brooke says.
Josh is excited to be cooking for Chef Brock, one of his culinary idols. His dish is a nod to Brock's upscale Southern fare: crab succotash with — wait for it — bacon. "Sucker-tash?" Brooke asks.
Sheldon is a bit shaken from his near-elimination last round, and is trying to get back on his A-game. He is using the innards from the dungeness crab to create a miso soup base. This concept nearly brings my viewing partner to hurl, but I think it sounds delicious. He's also smoking pine needles to cook asparagus. Sheldon is definitely thinking creatively.
As they run out of time, Josh's butter sauce is broken and he's crestfallen.
Sean and Padma sample the dishes. Sean's least favorites are Lizzie's crab frittata with cherry tomato, garlic oil and fried capers (it had too many flavors), and Josh's succotash, which was overpowered by bacon. It is clear at this point that Josh has angered the pork gods and nothing he can do will lift their curse on him.
Sean loved both Brooke and Sheldon's dishes. Sheldon takes the prize for his King and dungeness crab miso, pine-smoked asparagus and charred corn. Sean was impressed with his snout-to-tail approach with the crab.
For the Elimination Challenge, the chefs will be celebrating Alaska's fondness of salmon and sourdough. Apparently sourdough is just as big up there as it is in San Francisco. The first prospectors who settled in Alaska carried their sourdough starter in their packs with them as they moved north. Thanks for the history lesson, Padma!
Padma explains they will be picking out their fish tomorrow and will have three hours to prepare their dishes for the Juneau locals at the Gold Creek Salmon Bake. "You're serving them ingredients they're probably used to cooking themselves in a million different ways." she warns, adding, "Kind of like serving succotash to a Southerner." Josh blushes and Brooke adds, "Ouch."
As they head to their lodging the chefs worry about bread baking, Josh especially. "I'm not putting bacon in my bread. I'm done with bacon, apparently. Jesus Christ." The gang arrives at their fancy B&B; where a local baker has provided them each with a huge vat of 30-year-old sourdough starter.
Josh and Brooke are checking out the artwork in the B&B; when Sheldon jumps out from behind a curtain, scaring Brooke out of her wits. It's a genuine and hilarious moment. Brooke is left curled up in the fetal position, wiping away tears of laughter as Sheldon screams "We're in ALASKA!"
Sheldon changes into his house slippers and the chefs get to work on preparing their bread. Lizzie is the most unsure of herself. She plans on making individual rolls for each of the 200 guests. The chefs get their doughs mixed, kneaded and resting, and we're left to watch them sitting on the sofa, waiting for the dough to rise. Hilarious and awkward silence.
The next morning, Sheldon serenades his fellow contestants and reflects on his journey. "I'm just a kid who plays the ukulele from this small town in Hawaii. Started out as a dishwasher. To think I have a chance to be Top Chef? That blows my mind."
Josh keeps checking his phone. His wife is now several days past her due date and he's anxiously awaiting news of his daughter's birth.
The crew heads to the fishing docks where a boat pulls in, delivering a vat of freshly caught salmon. The chefs pick their fish and prep them on the docks. All four of them are blown away by the quality of the salmon. Lizzie is once again overwhelmed by memories of her Dad, who taught her how to fish.
As prep is underway, Head Judge Tom Colicchio comes into the kitchen to check up on everyone. Sheldon tells Tom he's pairing pea soup with the salmon and Tom is taken aback. "That's pretty funny. Yesterday someone asked me 'what would you do?' and I said, 'Right now I'm feeling like some pea soup and salmon' I swear to God." Sheldon is thrilled: "BOOM."
Tom doesn't seem to have a lot of confidence in Brooke's decision to poach her salmon to order, but at this point she can't change her recipe. She shakes off his doubt
and continues as planned.
The four move to the outdoor picnic area for the Salmon Bake. The weather is wet and cold and everyone's breath is showing as they run around for final prep. The residents of Juneau head in and service begins. All the locals seem really into hearing about the chef's choices. "Here we have a pea soup, perfect for this sunny day." Sheldon says, to much laughter.
Padma and Tom are joined by Emeril, Gail Simmons, Hugh Acheson, and Sean Brock. Tom points out the bears that have scurried up a tree nearby. "I brought the bears," he says, "That's my fan base." Oh, Tom. Sassy!
Brooke looks a little frazzled as she tries to finish poaching her salmon while Padma is "introducing" her to the judges, all of whom she has already met several times. She plates up her sockeye salmon and seafood broth with mustard seed caviar and dill sourdough. The judges and locals are all pleased with her dish, her bread especially.
Sheldon is up next, he's prepared a green tea & chive sourdough with smoked salmon and pea soup. His dish has some problems. Sean Brock is disappointed how Sheldon actually served the salmon — ripping it up with tongs like it was pulled pork. "It is almost disrespectful." he said. Hugh thinks the soup reminded him more of baby food. "But a good baby, a healthy baby, a well flavored baby." and suddenly we're all thinking of soup that is made from babies. Thanks, Hugh.
The locals are also a bit perplexed by Sheldon's choice of the chum variety of salmon, which apparently nobody uses there. I'm no salmon expert but since "chum" is the bloody stuff fishermen use to attract sharks, I'm going to guess it's not the most sought after ingredient.
The judges head over to Josh's station. His dish is a roasted garlic sourdough soup with sockeye salmon & black olive croutons. The judges all agree that his salmon is perfectly cooked and the soup is delicious but that the elements are not paired well together. The garlic is overpowering the delicate fish.
Lizzie plates up for the judges her citrus & beet glazed salmon slider with poppy seed butter and pickles. "Sliders and pickles, huh?" asks Padma, disparagingly. Lighten up, Lakshmi. As the judges dig in they all agree her rolls are fantastic. Hugh points out she's the only one who got a beautiful golden crust on her bread. Her salmon, however, hasn't impressed anyone at all. The beet and citrus flavor is just not there. Emeril agrees with Padma that this far along she should have been a bit more daring.
Tom and his cohorts ask the locals for their feedback on the dishes. Then they head over to the judge's picnic table.
Padma asks Lizzie if she tasted a whole slider before serving it. "I tasted all the components." she replies. "See, that's not the same!" Padma scolds, wagging her finger at Lizzie. It seems like Padma has it out for poor Elizabeth.
Sheldon's choice of chum comes up again. "The locals never use chum," Padma yells over the pouring rain, "It's what they use to feed the dogs." Then, after a beat, "But, they thought that yours was delicious."
Gail confesses that the salmon Brooke served her was a bit overcooked. "I feel like I hit my stride very shortly after you guys left my table." Brooke says. On the positive side, Sean Brock was "crazy" about her bread and said he didn't want the dish to end.
Sean announces that the winning dish was a unanimous decision by both the judges' panel and the locals. The best showcase of sourdough and salmon was Brooke's dish. She wins a trip to Costa Rica. Brooke is all smiles and as she looks around at the wet, dark trees, says, "I'm DYING to go to Costa Rica."
If Brooke keeps a steady head, I think she's on course to win this competition. She comes across as having the perfect balance of confidence and gratitude and I would love to see her take the title.
"Now it's about who makes the least mistakes." says Josh as they wait to hear who is going home. "My green tea made no sense," worries Sheldon.
For her underseasoned and uninspired slider, Lizzie is sent packing. While her bread was excellent the judges can't get over how simple her dish was and the fact that she didn't taste the composed dish. She is sweet and thankful in her departure.
Next week: The three amigos go dog sledding and are asked to cook for the Governor of Alaska. Also, Padma pairs an Inuit coat with aviator sunglasses.

Indians are London's largest ethnic minority and immigrants of South Asian origin from the sub-Continent and East Africa have made a huge contribution to the British economy. This evening, the first fund-raisingl Diwali dinner put on by British United Indian Liberal Democrats (BUILD), at the Bombay Palace restaurant in Bayswater, highlighted the valuable charitable work that Indian philanthropists and NGOs do in the UK, in India and worldwide. Five separate organisations were showcased before the meal, ranging from the Loomba Foundation (which promotes the welfare and interests of widows in India and now round the globe) to a group that helps Indian elderly in this country, many of whom may live with their offspring but sometimes get left alone in houses with the central heating switched off when the breadwinners go out to work or simply feel lonely, so they relish the conviviality and both physical and metaphorical warmth in earmarked community centres. Both the pre-dinner brief presentations and the after dinner speeches were admirably compered by Mistress of Ceremonies Anuja Prashar, who has been a real driving force within BUILD. The star guest speaker was Miriam González Durántez (aka Miriam Clegg) who, as (Lord) Navnit Dholakia gallantly said, has become something of a secret weapon for the Liberal Democrats. She has both presence and authority and is truly a Liberal, as well as a fine European. She focused on the symbolic meaning of light and hope associated with Diwali. Simon Hughes MP was the after-after-dinner speaker, managing to arrive just in time for the post-speeches' desert. He stressed how much London and Britain as a whole value the input by citizens of Indian origin and he made the interesting observation that whereas a few years ago Diwali was really only celebrated in India and among the Diaspora it has now become a firm fixture of the United Kingdom's diverse celebratory calendar.

The EU Budget: The Truth
Posted by jonathanfryer on Thursday, 1st November, 2012
The raging europhobia of the Tory right, now in unholy tandem with Labour after the Opposition's shamelessly cynical move to vote along with them simply to embarrass the Prime Minister, means that there is a lot of mindless chatter in Britain about what some claim is the big black hole of the EU Budget. So it is extremely timely that the European Movement in the UK has put out an excellent summary of what constitutes the EU Budget and what it actually achieves. And how it benefits Britain! I am reproducing it here in full, as it deserves wider dissemination. The battle against euro-myths and europhobia needs to be won!

Introducing The New for 2014 Dynacraft Driving Iron
Incredibly versatile, long and accurate the new new 2014 Dynacraft Driving Iron does it all!
• New 21 and 24 Degree Lofts Arriving July 7th! The Forgiveness of a Hybrid in a Long Iron!
• Hollow Body Construction
• Low, Deep Center of Gravity
• High Performance, High C.O.R. Face For Explosive Distance
Review by Hireko Golf Technical Director Jeff Summitt ([email protected])
In the fall of last year, you began to hear a lot of buzz about a new category of clubheads on the markets – driving irons. Well, they are not really new as driving irons existed a long time ago. A driving iron was the original name for what was once called a #1-iron or the lowest lofted iron in the set. Today, driving iron means something different. They are hollow-bodied with an iron face profile all with low lofts (could be considered hybrid or utility club as well).
The difference now even compared to the ones available just a few years ago is the technology behind them. The latest generation feature exotic face materials to achieve the same coefficient of restitution (OK, rebound effect) as a modern driver plus better weight distribution for optimizing launch conditions.
Enter the new Dynacraft Driving Iron
Hireko enters the driving iron arena with a single 18º loft model to test the waters. We have made several similar type clubheads in the past, but the difference is in the face material and construction. We chose a stronger 17-4 stainless steel for the Dynacraft driving iron face, but instead of casting it, we forged it. This way we could compact the molecules closer together and create a thinner and variable face thickness with more than adequate strength after going through a special vacuum heat treating process. The thinner face around the perimeter is what allows for the face to flex increasing the COR.
As a matter of fact, the first few samples we made, we wanted to be as cutting edge as we could. Well, they ended up exceeding the USGA limit and they didn't pass our robot durability test anyway. So we had to modify the thickness a bit to combat both of those problems and still provide a finished product that would be hot.
Dynacraft Driving Iron Usage
For you out there reading this, the Dynacraft driving iron is new to you. But I had the privilege of testing out all the prototypes until we reached the final product back last summer and fall. The main purpose of the Dynacraft Driving iron is the ability to control the ball off of the tee and put yourself in an optimal position for your next shot. It is not to be confused with a driver that will be upwards of 5" longer, lighter designed to than the driving iron and hit the ball longer than any club in the bag, but not always as straight. In all fairness it would vie with the 5-wood or possibly a #4-wood for distance.
The course I normally play is very conducive to this club as I would later find out. The muni-track I frequent is not very long and there are a lot of tight driving holes. Wayward tee shots often get punished by thick mature pine trees which are unsurmountable obstacles to go through. Plus hitting driver on 3 particular holes leaves less than full swings on approach shots to the postage stamped par 4's. On those holes, I could find the fairways with the Dynacraft driving iron and still have a full PW into the greens where it is easier (for me at least) to control distance, spin and go hole huntin'.
Hey, I dig the big stick as any male golfer does, but when you are trying to improve and lowering your golf score, often times that comes from better course management. Consider this a game management tool. No, you are not going to rely on it for every hole (what fun would that be), but on certain holes or in certain situations, it could be as valuable as that specialty wedge or hybrid you carry in your bag.
Off the grass, well most golfers will benefit from a 5 wood because the will get the extra spin and subsequent height. But there are times you may find the need to hit the ball a long way, but initially under something or out of the wind. It is not really different than modern game-improvement irons you already play; you just have a little less loft.
Find your niche
You have several choices for a tee club; driver, fairway, hybrid, one of our Thrivers or this specialty utility club. The Dynacraft driving iron gives golfers just one more option in their arsenal they feel more comfortable with. I can tell you from personal experience this club doesn't look clunky or chunky as some driving irons or hybrids (iron-woods) as I have seen.
Future of design
What we learned from the project will likely be the foundation of some of our irons in the future so you can obtain more distance with the same amount of effort. I am very excited about the technology that went into this.

organic, monoazo
beta-oxynaphthoic acid lake, strontium salt
Permanent Red is a common name used for the strontium salt of beta-oxynaphthoic acid (BONA) lake pigment PR:48. It is substantially bluer than other shades of PR:48. BONA pigment lakes tend to have high tinting strength, however the tinting strength of PR48:3 is only average.
Beta-oxynaphthoic acid (BONA) lake pigments are more lightfast than their beta-naphthol counterparts. Although their lightfastness makes them the pigment of choice in many applications, they may shift slightly in color or lose intensity under some conditions. Pigment PR48:3 has been reported to be the most lightfast of the BONA lake pigments.
Pigment Red PR48:3 is a lake pigment of beta-oxynaphtholic acid, a dye that resembles the common beta-Naphthol pigments. Beta-oxynaphthoic acid may have been synthesized as early as 1887. Commerical use of BONA lake pigments began in the 20th century. PR48:3 is used in printing, plastics, architectural paints, and industrial finishes.
Brilliant Red
titanium dioxide
Titanium White is the most brilliant of the white pigments. It is considered an all purpose oil color useful in all techniques and the best all around white. Its masstone is neither warm nor cool, placing it somewhere between Lead White and Zinc White. It is less prone to cracking and yellowing than Lead White, but it still yellows easily. Titanium White dries slowly in oil form, more slowly than Lead White but more quickly than Zinc White. It is opaque in oil and acrylic forms and semi-opaque in watercolor form. This pigment has good chemical stability, and its tinting strength is superior to both Lead White and Zinc White.
Titanium White has excellent permanence and lightfastness.
Titanium dioxide is highly stable and is regarded as completely non-toxic. Animal studies give no indiciation that it is absorbed biologically, even after long periods of exposure. The primary safety concern is with inhalation of fine pigment dust particles. Titanium White, if inhaled in large amounts over the course of several years, may cause a benign pneumoconiosis that is visible on x-rays. The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) considers fine titanium dioxide particles, if inhaled, to be a human carcinogen. The primary concern for artists is to avoid exposure to fine particulate dust from raw pigments.
Titanium is the ninth most abundant element in the Earth's crust, however mineral deposits that are economical to mine are less common. Titanium dioxide was first discovered in 1821, although it could not be mass produced until 1919. Widespread use of the pigment began in the 1940s. Since that time, it has become the most commonly used white pigment. The name comes from the Latin word Titan, the name for the elder brother of Kronos and ancestor of the Titans, and from the Greek word tito, meaning day or sun.

It's Halloween season, and campy macabre aesthetic surrounds us, making the general public a little more open to the darker parts of our existence. Reflecting back on the origin of this holiday, All Hallow's Eve and Samhain, the pagan celebration, it's clear that death and the unseen world is the foundation. Our ancestors believed that the veil to the other side became thin or disappeared completely on this night, allowing the spirit world to comingle with the physical and living world. There are many people and cultures that still hold this belief and practice today.
In light of the season I began searching through aesthetically significant contemporary art that finds its foundations in death and dying. This is Part 1 of 2 of the scope of art about death, ranging widely in medium and other interwoven themes. Damien Hirst, Angelo Filomeno, Joel Peter Witkin, Konrad Smolenski and Doris Salcedo all embrace the subject of death and dying in a widely varied manner. As well, all are highly revered in their own right for their individual continuums of art produced over the years.
Damien Hirst is no stranger to controversy as an artist. He always delivers shock value well and does not shy away from creating work that makes viewers squirm. Materials he used to create the pieces featured here range from dead flies, to animal carcasses, formaldehyde and maggots. Hirst's works don't just discuss the business of birth, death and dying- they display it in action right before your eyes, in a way that some of the work nearly becomes about life itself.

Hormel Hovers at All-Time High
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
After reporting an upbeat first quarter Thursday, meatpacking giant HormelFoods (HRL) enjoyed an upbeat day of trading on Friday.
Hormel's stock is hovering around an all-time high, at about $37.11. It's up 1.6% today following a 1.1% gain yesterday
For the quarter ended Jan. 27, Hormel reported a slight increase in profit of $129.7 million, or 48 cents a share, up from $128.4 million, or 48 cents a share, a year earlier. Sales rose 4% to $2.12 billion in the quarter.
Analysts at DA Davidson upgraded the stock to Neutral and raised their price target.
Shares remain at a premium valuation, trading above even its packaged-food peers. Yet the execution is, as usual, near flawless. Our price target goes to $38, previously $25, based on 17.3x our FY14 EPS estimate – well above its protein peers Smithfield Foods (BUY - $22.40) and Tyson Foods (BUY - $23.38) trading at 6.3x and 9.2x 2014 EPS, respectively. So while we are concerned about the valuation gap to its protein peers and other packaged foods equities, we acknowledge the strong consistent growth Hormel has delivered.
The stock is a consensus hold on Wall Street, according to FactSet; it has a price to forward earnings ratio of 18 -- well above Tyson Food's P/E ratio of close to 11.
Meanwhile, Janney analyst Jonathan Feeney rates the company at Sell but lifted the fair value estimate to $32 from $26 on optimism from Hormel's recent acquisition of peanut butter maker Skippy.
Overall, this deal brings Hormel in line with the rest of the food industry in terms of forward valuation on our Street-low numbers, when its historic discount is still warranted owing to its lower returns and growth.

Hello. Or should I say, konnichiwa? My name is Casey, but I'm a boy (its one of those Irish reversible names). 17, will turn 18 on 10/10/2006. So yeah. I'm Korean (2nd gen adopted), and I live in backwater Indiana in the heart of conservativism.
To put into native parlance, "Howdy! How y'all doin'?"
I'm about 5'8.5", single, like taking long walks...
But seriously, my anime interests are basically old stuff, some new. Series/shows/etc I like: Banner/Crest of the Stars, [adult swim] (includes everything), Ah! My Goddess, Dragonball (the original, mind you), and other things I can't remember. Maybe I'll append them later.
May I just say, I will never, ever understand Paranoia Agent.
So I'm here, despite the fact I should be studying for my AP exams... oh well

Hoy everyone, I'm a 19 year old (about one month away from being two decades old ) university student studying Sociology and Anthropology in Brussels. I like a lot of stuff, so listing it all here would be huh, but I'm going to make a summary : anime, manga, portrait photography, poetry, martial arts (I'm a judoka, and I practised Kung Fu and Tai Chi, although I don't have time atm), sci-fi (Star Wars, Stargate, "Foundation" books by Asimov, etc), Fantasy (LOTR, etc), Roleplaying (pen & paper, games workshop, video games), Programming (mostly websites, windows programming doesn't interest me anymore), Philosophy, Asian History/Culture/Language (I bought books to learn Japanese on my own because I couldn't get into classes, and I'm going to Japan in July!), Languages (I speak 5 perfectly and understand much more ^^), etc etc...
Oh, and on the side of things I'd want to know how to do, it's drawing manga-style (I even got myself a big Wacom tablet).
See you around people, I hope we get to know each other

Here at Simply Amish furniture the term Amish isn't a style. It's the standard of excellence by which all our solid wood Simply Amish furniture is handcrafted — this standard is desired by many and practiced by a very rare few. The quality of our solid wood Simply Amish furniture is in the fine details of solid wood drawers, that are hand-finished, inside and out, and it's created by the skill of genuine Simply Amish craftsmen, which has been passed down from one generation to the next.
But most of all, the quality of Simply Amish furniture is in the beauty of America's richest hardwoods,
hand-crafted and hand-finished in the heartland of America in a wide variety of styles — from
country cabinets that are the hallmark of Americana to contemporary designs that say, "Move over
Herman Miller, the Amish are in the house."
We understand that with so many choices in style and options — buying a piece of our Simply Amish furniture can be a little bit overwhelming. So to help with this process we have developed a series of videos to help build a solid understanding of some of these choices. Visit our YouTube channel to view these videos.
There are a lot of things we do that most folks would consider environmentally friendly,
but perhaps the best thing we do is make quality Simply Amish furniture that's built to last.
Hand-crafted from beautiful, slow-growth hardwoods and finished with choice stains and hardware,
you're far more likely to find our furniture in a museum than a landfill.

For someone who suffered a heart attack that reportedly left him unconscious for two days, Harper picks up some pretty good speed. But after years as a personal trainer, he wrote in the post that he feels like he is "starting back at SQUARE ONE."
"I plan on being the BEST STUDENT," Harper continued.
Since leaving the hospital, Harper seems to be spending most of his hours with his dog, Karl, and relaxing. He recently tweeted a photo hugging two of his pals, captioned, "Some of the best medicine right now for me is spending time with special friends."
Harper has also changed up his diet, focusing on Mediterranean food per the doctor's orders. He instagrammed a photo of fish and brussel sprouts complimented by bread, olive oil, and red wine on Wednesday at Eataly, a popular eatery in New York City.
