Ok, I'm sorry if this sounds terribly clueless. I'm a novice with this stuff.
I'm going to attempt to transfer from one host to another. I've been reading the directions provided in a previous post, but i'm coming across a problem at this part:
In step 3 (or 2 for that matter)...I'm not sure exactly what that is. Is that a program on wordpress? Is it an FTP program? I'm lost.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Apr 01st, 2002
Running Time: 98
Director: Wit Maverick
Company: VCA Pictures
Cast: Anthony Crane, Dillion Day, Ian Daniels, John Decker, Tina Tyler, Eric Masterson, Nikki Fairchild, Billy Glide, Nikita Denise, Evan Stone, Juz Juli, Syren, Keri Windsor, Inari Vachs, Lauren Montgomery
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Feature
Windsor and Syren looking delectable in matching outfits on the front of the cover should pull in the men, the promise of plot on the back should pull in the women.
A tale of old souls and new, Touch Me follows Keri Windsor and her soul, which can't seem to sit still. As it flits from person to person, Anthony Crane, her interested suitor, follows her like a man possessed, dying to know how she's able to jump from body to body so effortlessly.
Somewhere in a club, barmaid Nikita Denise serves Dillion Day a Bud. She sees Ian Daniels at the door and crawls across a table on her knees toward him, beckoning him closer with her eyes. They kiss, and then suddenly she's sucking Daniels, Day and Masterson like their cocks are covered in chocolate, while Evan Stone looks on. Eventually it turns into a killer 3.p. that Denise rides expertly until all three explode on her face. As she leans back a fireball escapes from her mouth. Watching it happen, Syren stomps out. It seems she's on the chase for the soul as well. Or is it her soul? And is Stone following Syren for the same reason Crane is following Windsor? Hmmm...
Just as Crane is explaining the phenomena to Tina Tyler, urging her to do some research in her clinic, Windsor calls Crane on his cell and enters his body, prompting him to do some research of the carnal kind on Tyler. After the suck, fuck and blow, Crane gets back on the phone and talks Windsor into a hot solo scene, where she moans and writhes through vibing and fingering. Sadly we're robbed of her O, and get sent through some meandering plot exposition that doesn't really make much sense of it all.
If you can look past the topsy-turvy story, this vid does offer some good sex (like the jerkable Syren/Windsor g/g). Viewers should have the remote handy.

Periodically we post short opinions about the topics of the day. They are collected here when they come off the ESPN Commentary index.
Nov. 18: Book smarts
The mystery at the core of sports lies in the lives of its fans. What stokes all that unrequited fire and devotion and wanting? In a world rotten with mercenaries, free agents and betrayal, whom do we trust? Who rewards our purity? Our passion? Who reciprocates our madness? What price do we pay for loyalty or honor? For inspiration? For services rendered? How much cash should we leave on the nightstand?
No matter what you've heard or read, these are the questions at the broken heart of Scott Raab's memoir and confessional, "The Whore of Akron."
Mr. Raab, a senior writer from Esquire and a Clevelander to his chromosomes, takes up that city's sad abandonment by one LeBron James. The book is both poem and polemic, a lyrical inventory of rage and appetite and loss.
The book is easily misunderstood. It is not for the prim, the delicate or the weak-livered. Because the book is honest. The book is strong drink. Because profane explains sacred, the book is a punch in the nose.
Because the book is a book about love.
-- Jeff MacGregor
Nov. 15: NBA labor strife
Too many marquee sports authorities misunderstand the difference between a lockout and a strike.
How many NBA owners earn their primary living from the operation of these basketball teams? One? Two? None? Understand then that ownership is a hobby -- or a tax write-down -- for almost every one of them.
The incredibly hard line taken on behalf of these owners by the league has been an effort to reconcile mistakes of their own making. Their punitive, ever-diminishing offers were meant as a bad-faith remedy to their own impulse-control failures, and to make the players pay the cost of the lockout.
The owners want to break the players' union. Simple.
The owners are spoiled children. Having overspent on their action figures, they want a do-over. Being made to open their books in a court of law will likely prove that point.
-- Jeff MacGregor
Oct. 28: Road games
How much sense does a West Virginia move to the Big 12 Conference make? Our answer can be found in the driving distances (via Google Maps because the Mountaineers' own directions were incomplete) from Morgantown, W.V., to each of their new Big 12 "rivals." Missouri didn't make the list on the assumption the Tigers are headed elsewhere.
To Ames, Iowa: 871 miles
To Lawrence, Kan.: 900 miles
To Manhattan, Kan.: 981 miles
To Stillwater, Okla.: 1,091 miles
To Norman, Okla.: 1,140 miles
To Fort Worth, Texas: 1,240 miles
To Waco, Texas: 1,300 miles
To Austin, Texas: 1,400 miles
To Lubbock, Texas: 1,472 miles
Pack some snacks, a sleeping bag and plenty of gas money.

Aug. 2: After a fashion
This is everything you need to know about fashion or football. The sporting dog days are here, so rush to New York City this week to see the last few hours of the Alexander McQueen exhibit at the Met.
A crowd-pleasing record-breaker, the show is a sizzling antidote to your summer doldrums and an electrifying inventory of actual genius. McQueen himself is lost to us, but the sensation he ignites blazes bright as ever. Thus the museum stays open 'til midnight this Saturday and Sunday to accommodate the avid. There are few things left in the world worth a wait. This is one of them.
Then hop the 7 train out to Queens, where the Mets are home this weekend against the Braves. The Yankees are out of town. And remember please, it's only a game.
-- Jeff MacGregor
June 7: Giving back
With a swipe of the eraser, the BCS has removed the 2004 USC national title from its record book. The Trojans are giving back the crystal football and trophy that they held aloft so proudly after the game. The penalty for cheating is clear, if slow to develop.
But we still have questions.
USC made about $3 million from the BCS in its back-to-back title-game appearances in the 2004 and 2005 seasons, its share of the roughly $30 million that went to the Pac-10. Should the rules change to require an offending school to pay back its portion, or -- better yet -- to require the offending school's conference to reimburse the whole amount? A little peer pressure to toe the line, in other words?
'Cause so far, nothing else seems to be working.
And what of the Associated Press title? Do its voters live in a different universe? Are they sanctioning cheating or saying they can do nothing to stop it, even after the fact?
As it stands, the Heisman committee has sanctioned Reggie Bush. The NCAA and BCS have sanctioned USC. The AP title will live on in the Trojans' media guide and on the recruiting trail.
At least the fans will always have the highlights of a game that, according to some of the revised books, didn't happen.
-- Matthew Friedrichs
June 1: The old college try
is all you need to know about corruption in college football. Even in 1932, boosterism, cash and the fiction of amateurism were laughable cliches. They remain so, and "Horse Feathers" remains America's most pointed commentary on the matter.
So it's hard to judge which reaction to Jim Tressel's graceful exit from the Ohio State football program
is harder to swallow: the handwringing of the schoolmarm elite who claim they never saw it coming, or the glib hipster cynicism of those who pretend they never believed in anything to begin with.
In fact, the very word "corruption" implies the infection and ruination of a pure and healthy body. As Marxism teaches, that hasn't been true of college football for a very long time.
-- Jeff MacGregor
May 23: Lockout rhetoric
Ray Lewis is right. Without the NFL, I'd long ago have tunnelled through bedrock with my bare hands, learned to program computers and disarm security alarms and pulled the heist of the century.
Or maybe I should just file his remarks with those made by so many high school debaters, whose language and documentation can be as esoteric and voluminous as an NFL coach's playbook. In that kind of brinkmanship rhetoric, the next logical disadvantage of the lockout will be global nuclear war.
Novelist Gary Shteyngart has written a book whose title is fully descriptive of where these labor negotiations stand: "Absurdistan."
If there is no football in the fall, I'll have plenty of time to read it. After I steal it.
-- Matthew Friedrichs
April 29: NFL draft
Words of caution for those of you who woke up with draft euphoria today: That QB may never win a playoff game. That linebacker might not be fast enough to cover the middle. That receiver might hold out until midseason. Heck, he might not even have games in which to play.
And yet, amid the many gloomy (and billable) hours of this labor mess, at least we have actual football moves to discuss this weekend.
So on second thought, ignore the dour warnings. Go ahead and fantasize about that rookie lineman's first sack. Imagine a game-winning punt return. Think about how many games these youngsters will improve your team.
Hey, NFL: Nice to have you back. Stick around, OK?
-- Matthew Friedrichs
April 24: Spring
You need to get out of the house. You need to turn off the television. The game doesn't start for hours. Find a cherry tree or a magnolia or a lilac coming into flower somewhere in the park and walk to it and stand in such a way that the branches reach down to brush your hair. Turn west, look up, face the sun. See the buds and blossoms pink and white and perfect and how they move in the breeze. Breathe. Feel the sun on your face. Feel spring and the return of life. Think of how brief and beautiful a thing this is, and how impermanent. Breathe. Think of what you've lost. Think of what you've won. Breathe. Game begins at 7:05.
-- Jeff MacGregor
April 20: NFL schedule
This should be Christmas morning. Cowboys fans should be online, searching for flights to New York on the second weekend in September. Giants fans should be asking their bosses for time off to visit Bourbon Street at the end of November. Raiders fans should be planning an early-November party to fete their return to greatness or to burn Al Davis in effigy. Again.
The release of the NFL schedule should be that kind of present. Instead, we're kids with a gift card and no place to use it. The doors to the mall are bolted tight.
In a normal year, the NFL draft and schedule release mark the first dawning rays of a new season. They're opportunities to fantasize about Sundays with family and friends, to imagine young players bursting onto the stage with dazzling skills that bring hope of a season to celebrate with a title.
But not now. This year, those offseason fantasies may have no outlet. Dread blunts our anticipation. The NFL lockout casts a pall over our offseason gaiety.

How Can I Relax During Menopause? continued...
Relax to music: Combine relaxation exercises with your favorite music in the background. Select the type of music that lifts your mood or that you find soothing or calming. Some people find it easier to relax while listening to specially designed relaxation audio tapes, which provide music and relaxation instructions.
Mental imagery relaxation: Mental imagery relaxation, or guided imagery, is a proven form of focused relaxation that helps create harmony between the mind and body. Guided imagery coaches you in creating calm, peaceful images in your mind -- a "mental escape." Identify your self-talk, that is, what you are saying to yourself about what is going on with you. It is important to identify negative self-talk and develop healthy, positive self-talk. By making affirmations, you can counteract negative thoughts and emotions. Here are some positive statements you can practice
- Let go of things I cannot control.
- I am healthy, vital, and strong.
- There is nothing in the world I cannot handle.
- All my needs are met.
- I am completely and utterly safe.
- Every day in every way I am getting stronger.

Quit Smoking Without Gaining Weight
How to kick the habit without packing on the pounds.
By Heather Hatfield
Reviewed By Louise Chang, MD
If you're a smoker, the healthiest resolution you can make is to kick the habit. But kicking butts often goes hand in hand with weight gain. Is it possible to be both slimmer and smoke-free in the New Year?
It can be done, experts say -- if you go about it the right way.
First, consider this: Although you are likely to gain a little weight when you stop smoking, it probably won't be as much as you fear.
"Cigarettes activate your metabolism," says Cynthia Purcell, MS, a nutritionist and smoking cessation therapist in the smoking cessation program at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. "You burn about 250 calories if you smoke a pack a day. So when you quit and your metabolism slows down, your body has these extra calories it has to deal with, and many people gain weight."
Most people gain about two pounds during the first couple of weeks after quitting, Purcell says.
"People who quit tend to think, 'It's only been two weeks and I've gained two pounds. What's it going to be like in two months?' And they go back to smoking to avoid the weight gain," Purcell tells WebMD.
"If they'd just stick with it, they'd realize it's not going to be a pound or two every week, and their metabolism will even out. On average, most people only gain between 5-7 pounds in total after quitting."

Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Capitol Hill Critics Second-Guess Agencies Using...
Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
Long-time collaborators Targacept and AstraZeneca have rewritten some of the terms of their partnership.
For starters, Targacept now has the right to pursue development and commercialization of any alpha7 NNR modulator in any therapeutic area, including cognitive disorders and schizophrenia, without obligation to AstraZeneca. Previously, AstraZeneca held an option to license any such compound that was developed by Targacept for a cognitive disorder or schizophrenia. Targacept has several alpha7 NNR modulators in its portfolio.
In addition, AstraZeneca now has the right to develop and commercialize the alpha4beta2 NNR modulators that it has licensed from Targacept under the collaboration, including AZD1446, in any therapeutic area. Previously, AstraZeneca's rights with regard to these compounds were limited to cognitive disorders and schizophrenia.
Last year, AstraZeneca reported plans to advance AZD1446 as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease. A Phase II study will evaluate AZD1446 as an adjunct treatment to donepezil in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease.
Finally, as part of the deal restructuring, AstraZeneca will return to Targacept all rights to the alpha4beta2 modulator TC-1734 (also known as AZD3480), which is currently in a Phase IIb trial in mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease.
In 2009, AstraZeneca was pursuing development of AZD3480 in a Phase IIb studies in attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder and had made a $10 million milestone payment to Targacept.

Our itineraries are an approximation of our trips. Trek Travel strives to offer each and every guest a vacation of a lifetime on every trip. At times routes, hotels, activities, etc. listed here may change at the discretion of the trip designer or guides to improve the trip experience.
On all of our vacations, Trek Travel strives to find quiet, paved secondary roads or bike paths to experience a region; busy roads are avoided as much as possible. Annecy to Alpe d'Huez is best suited for our Type 4 Riders. Our Trek Travel guides can also easily accommodate Type 3 Riders, who seek less mileage or fewer uphills, with a boost in the van. The terrain is highlighted by stunning views, quiet roads and challenging climbs. We will make an average of 2-3 major climbs per day that combine sustained climbing with several steep sections. See Itinerary for specific daily ride distance and elevation options.
This destination is best suited to guests who want to cycle every day. Because of the terrain and/or remoteness of the hotels and riding routes, there are few, if any, non-riding options available. If a non-rider wants to accompany a rider guest on this trip, they would need to spend many hours in the van and/or at the hotels on the trip. Due to this, we strongly discourage non-riders from this destination. As an alternative, call a Trek Travel Trip Consultant at 866.464.8735 for trip suggestions where more non-rider activities are available, such as:
The summer months in the Alps can bring warm days, ranging from the mid 60s to low 80s, with evenings dropping to the mid 50s to mid 60s. When traveling in the Alps, it is best to be prepared for variable conditions, as weather can change very quickly. There is always the chance of snow and rain. We recommend always traveling with rain gear, as well as plenty of breathable layers to provide warmth when the temperature drops.
For an additional fee you may request to upgrade to the brand new Trek Emonda SLR with Shimano Di2 Electronic shifting or Bontrager Aeolus carbon wheels for the ultimate riding experience. Contact our trip consultants for more details.
If you're going we're going on almost all our trips. Trips with 1 guest booked are guaranteed to run. Select trips like Cross Country, Race and Special Edition trips require a minimum number of guests to run and are not guaranteed until that number is reached. Contact your Trip Consultant for more details.
In the event that a departure has low enrollment, we will notify guests at 60-90 days before departure to give the option to select a different date with more guests booked. Please do not reserve airfare before confirming your Trek Travel trip.
When a trip is booked, a guest confirmation letter is immediately sent out. One week prior to the trip start you will receive an email containing a trip start meeting location reminder and any last minute information that you will need to know before your trip.

How do you stack up against TdF winners at the end of the day?
Now is your chance to tackle the same climbs the Pros do.
He was, quite simply, an extraordinary guide and, like many of the climbs we did, merits his own rating category because he consistently surpassed every expectation.
Scenery was stunning, bike was awesome, the riding incredibly hard in parts but so worthwhile to accomplish. But it was Laura Lee and Lisa who made it so amazing with all the little things, grabbing your bike when you stopped, filling bottles, giving you a coke half way up Alpe d'Huez! They made the trip
and definitely well-worth the time, training and money. I met some wonderful new friends, and our guides were exceptional.
Thank you so much for a wonderful experienced.

Summary: Kiba Yuya notices an odd man standing on the dark end of the field one evening at soccer practice. One-shot.
Author's Note: The infamed cross-over (as speculated by psquare) that was never written, and seriously shouldn't have been. I'm sure all the Get Backers watchers shall find something to dis/like in this. That's a promise. In the very least, you'll be amused if you've seen the anime.
Anyway, a conversation with Crystal Haze also reminded me how a certain HH canon character was being badly neglected, so here goes. Two-in-one ice-cream for everyone to enjoy.
"Be back in a sec, 'kay?"
"Oi!" Kyosuke let out an angry yell as Sakai yanked off his goalie's gloves, dropped them on the grass, and jogged off to talk to one of the sophomore girls near the bleachers.
He was left standing on the field with an impatient Rodrigo, whose feet were aching from contact with the soccer ball, and with a thoroughly nonplussed Kiba. Nest-head's lackeys were missing today, and Kyosuke breathed a sigh of relief, thankful to able to play — practice, whatever — without those two to glare murderously when he laughed at Kiba execute something particularly stupid.
And then there was Miki standing by the benches, arms folded, a smile on her face as she watched the remaining three boys stand around, interrupted. She mouthed a greeting to him, and in a heartbeat-second, Kyosuke had leapt over the ball he had been intending to kick and appeared beside her.
"You told me you'd share some of that chocolate pastry," he accused.
Miki rolled her eyes. "Oh, and here I was thinking you came this far to just talk to me."
"Fat chance. So, did you get it?"
"Fukoko's got it," she said succinctly.
"Let's go, then. I want my pastry."
"Don't you mean: me want pastry?" She tried to sound disgusted, and Kyosuke swung a friendly punch, but she only ducked, and the two of them chased one another into the school building.
Sakai was still amid the bleachers. He was in animated conversation with that girl. Apparently, she shared a class with him, and Sakai never passed an opportunity to flirt. Rodrigo only watched, thoroughly annoyed.
Then he cast a wary look around. There was only Kiba.
Who opened his mouth in an attempt to resume the friendly game — practice, whatever — which had thus far employed the four of them.
"Uh, I just remembered something. Have to run. See ya, Yuya,"
And he quite promptly turned and fled, quite forgetting the tired muscles that had been exhausting and near-crippling him only moments earlier.
Kiba blinked.
Not even he was thick enough to not realise he was being ditched again.
"Aw, crap."
Aimlessly, he kicked the ball, watching it bounce a yard away. It rolled and knocked against a goalpost. Shoving his hands into his pockets, Kiba ambled towards it. It felt pointless to put up practice alone. Shinka and Muroy made better company than what he admitted.
The evening breeze blew, flying close to the ground so that the grass rustled. Like a serpent darting sinuously through the field.
Cold fingers limned pictures on Kiba's spine.
In the empty silence, his ears betrayed him, playing music in his head. Music that was never sounded.
The shadows played and lengthened across the expanse of the ground. Something moved behind him.
Kiba turned.
There was no one behind him. No one there at all. Save himself. And that man...
The far end of the soccer field was in the dark and shadows. Someone was standing there.
A tall man. A boy? No; too tall. Navy, dark blue and tight pants. A billowing white shirt. Strangely spiked hair. The man was smoking. He was wearing tinted glasses perched on the bridge of his nose. As Kiba's gaze fell on him, the man removed the lenses with two fingers.
His eyes stared.
Shockingly blue.
Electricity spiralling in them.
Kiba didn't blink. The man disappeared.
There was another boy-man in his place. Blond. Cargo pants. A bright green fishing jacket. Kiba thought it looked funny. Then his blood chilled.
Lightning was playing around that man. He was afire. With heavenly bolts of lightning.
Brightness flashed. Someone else was standing there. A she. A woman.
Long, long chestnut hair flying in the wind behind her. Her eyes looked away from Kiba, the orange sun had captured them. Her skin glowed a creamy freshness, and somewhere he heard little bells tinkle.
The vision of the girl shimmered until the dark corner was enveloped in flying glitter. As the mist cleared, a girl stood there. Her hair was short, very dark green, and against the tan, a small, star-shaped crimson tattoo leapt out at Kiba, brighter than Mercury ruling the sky.
Just then a howl split the quiet air. A wolf's howl that raked Kibat to the flesh. A man was glaring at him out of the shadows. Wild, black and spiky hair, a large bandanna and a large circular medallion that gleamed on a black-shirted muscular chest. The man's hate and deep anger met Kiba with the rocking force of a tempest.
The beast howled again. A horrifying sight. An omen, or worse.
Taller than anyone Kiba had seen, shrouded in black. Tall hat. Slit brim. Violet, narrowed eyes that laughed in cold, mocking mirth.
Blinding light.
With its last rays, the sun raked the ground, dispelling evanescent shadows. The dark end of the field. Kiba felt cold to the bone, and jogged off the field, not responding to a very surprised Sakai who turned around from the girl to stare at him.

AbstractSPAWAR requires a high fidelity simulation of Radio Security Services (RSS) to enhance testing of Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) networking waveforms. Waveforms and enhancements are evaluated using a JTRS Surrogate Radio (JSR). We propose to modify a JSR through installation of radio security simulation software and SCA compatible Application Programming Interfaces (API) developed on a previous SBIR Phase II project. We will also modify the waveform to interface with an unclassified, high-fidelity hardware device simulator. This allows the modified JSR to evaluate networking waveforms including radio security with higher fidelity and allow the development and testing of waveforms including interfaces to security devices. As part of the work we will interface devices and software to networking waveform software currently under test and evaluation by SPAWAR. We also propose trade studies evaluating modification of a second waveform with different technical characteristics with the simulated radio security software and device during the Option. During the Option we plan on demonstrating an improved security architecture employing HAWCS(r) technology previously investigated on AF03-098 Phase II.

AbstractAgiltron proposes an uncooled two-color MWIR imaging system to meet all the critical attributes necessary to satisfy HFI imaging requirements as well as providing a low cost alternative sensor for all USMC and USN fixed and rotary wing aircraft at risk. Agiltron's solution is based on our revolutionary photomechanical imaging technology to fabricate uncooled large pixel array MWIR imagers coupled with our innovative IR optics. The focus of the CPP effort will be to increase significantly the thermal sensitivity of the uncooled two-color MWIR imaging system to levels required to detect missile plumes and HFI. The proposed two-color MWIR imaging system can inherently provide scene imagery in total darkness and through rain, snow, fog, smoke, and dust. Therefore, the two-color MWIR imaging system can also be used as an indispensable tool in every helicopter to overcome brown-out or white-out conditions during take-off and landing.

Carried over from the original set are all of Francis Ford Coppola's commentary tracks for the three films. On The Godfather one, he appropriately enough, starts off by talking about the film's famous opening scene and how it was supposed to start with the wedding but a friend suggested he do something else. Coppola talks about how he organized the elaborate wedding sequence and shot it only 2-3 days! He talks about the pressure he was under by the studio and in read danger of being fired because they didn't like what he was doing. This is pretty solid track that we've come to expect from the veteran filmmaker.
Coppola's contributes another excellent commentary for The Godfather Part II. Initially, he had no interest in doing a sequel and dealing with studio bureaucracy. He suggested Martin Scorsese for the job. The studio balked at this idea and accepted all of Coppola's terms. The veteran filmmaker talks at length about the development of the Corleone family from Part I. Coppola is engaging and very articulate, delivering a top notch track that is well worth a listen for any fan of this movie.
Finally, there is Coppola's commentary for The Godfather Part III. One of the heated debates the filmmaker had with the studio was over Pacino's hair.Read more ›
If you are looking for a "wow" disc to show off your Blu-ray home theater sound and video, this is not it. If you are looking to experience modern American Gangster cinema in its 1970's glory, this is as close as you are ever likely to get, muted sepia-esque color, film grain and all.
These were not done exclusively for the home market. The priority was that they were restored for theatres, because that is where they would be judged the most critically, and all indications are that they do not disappoint. Never watch these films in your living room with the lights on. Watch them like you do in the theater, lights out, to appreciate the effort that went into these films.
The three films will only be released together in this set. The Godfather and The Godfather Part III will each be on one disc, and The Godfather Part II will take two discs. The first of the good news? Francis Coppola has recorded full-lenth audio commentaries for all three films!
But wait, there's a fifth disc that will blow your socks off! Check this out -- the bonus disc contains 3+ hours worth of special features, including: > "The Godfather Family: A Look Inside" documentary > "Francis Coppola's Notebook", an inside look at taking the book to screen! > "On Location" with production designer Dean Tavoularis! > "The Godfather Behind The Scenes" 1971 featurette! > "The Cinematography of The Godfather"! > "The Music of The Godfather" -- two featurettes! > "Coppola and Puzo on Screenwriting"! > Storyboards from GF2 and GF3! > "The Corleone Family Tree" character and cast bios! > Academy Award® acceptance speeches! > Photo galleries with captions! > Theatrical trailers! > Filmmaker bios! > Corleone Family timeline, with real-life events mixed in! > Never-seen alternate opening of GF3! > And "all" of the extra footage found in the televised Godfather Saga!
The picture quality looked fantastic -- Coppola's American Zoetrope did a wonderful job restoring the films!Read more ›
A marvelous restoration job, "The Godfather-The Coppola Restoration Gif Set" includes all three original films as they were presented theatrical. It doesn't have the version that Coppola cut for TV and presented in chronological order. THe first two films are masterpieces and while the third is severely flawed, it does have its moments.
Keep in mind that these were restored for theatrical showings NOT for the home video market and, as such, these probably aren't the best Blu-rays to use to show off your home video system. Some people will no doubt be disappointed but, quite frankly, these films have never looked this good before on home video. Is this a big step up from the DVDs? Yes and no. The Blu-ray does provide better resolution but keep in mind it also shows the flaws inherent in the original films (and some people will regard the grainy images as being a flaw).
First keep in mind that "The Godfather" was meant to look grainy so those of you who hate grain will probably wonder why they didn't eliminate it. That's because to do so would have required altering the look of the film not restoring it and the usual result of eliminating film grain is that you lose detail. The result also makes it look like the actors are walking wax dummies. Some scenes are much grainer than others but that's the way the film was meant to look.Read more ›

Designated a Doody's Core Title!
I have not seen a book that does a better job with synthesis or provision of good concise information to those in need." (3 Stars)--Doody's Book Review Service
Wandering behaviors are among the most frequent, problematic, and dangerous conditions associated with dementia and a continual challenge in health care and the community. Strongly research-based, this book presents and analyzes the latest research on wandering from the clinical, health care management, and policy literature and offers practical assessment and management tools. Nurses, physicians, gerontologists and others address the range of wandering behaviors of patients with Alzheimer's and other dementias, including prevention of elopement, getting lost, falls, fractures, and the subsequent need for extended nursing home or other supervised care that may result. The book places special emphasis on the difficult and stressful problems of daily patient care, improving safety for those with cognitive impairments, and enabling those with dementia to remain independent longer.
This book is for all caregivers intent on improving care for the nearly 5 million Americans who are at risk.
Key Features of this book:
- Offers practical tools for measuring and assessing wandering
- Emphasizes difficult and stressful daily problems of patient care
- Assesses medication and nonpharmacological interventions
- Describes the Alzheimer's Association's Safe ReturnÆ Program

text: Polaris Industries Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player. Polaris Industries ( PII) had a stellar year in 2012 -- in the last 12 months, the ATV, motorcycle, and snowmobile maker has rallied around 50%. As one of the best-known names in the motorsports and small utility vehicle segments, PII has little trouble courting customers who've decided they're in the market for a new toy with treads or nubby tires. Consumer recreation spending looks well positioned to afford Polaris some attractive organic growth for the next few years. But the firm isn't waiting for sales increases in the market -- it's been buying complementary brands for its stable, adding names like Indian Motorcycle and more utilitarian offerings such as small electric vehicles used by institutional customers. That combination of market tailwinds and bargain acquisitions should fuel material top line growth in 2013. Even though the recreational vehicle industry got stomped after the Great Recession, Polaris sports a solid balance sheet. The firm carries more than $470 million in cash and investments, easily offsetting a $107 million debt load. Dividends have historically been a priority for the firm, and a hike to its 37-cent payout looks probable given its balance sheet strength right now. Currently, Polaris yields 1.69% -- I think we'll see that number climb in the next quarter, possibly after January 29 earnings come out. Prev 4 of 6 Next

Chiropractor joins practice
HOUMA -- Dr. J. Brooksie Ash Jr. has joined the offices of Houma/Thibodaux Injury and Rehabilitation.
Ash, born and reared in Houma, is a Terrebonne High School graduate. He attended Nicholls State University for a Bachelor of Science degree in dietetics, and completed his internship at North Oaks Medical Center in Hammond.
He served as a registered dietician/nutritional services director for Leonard J. Chabert for three years, then earned his Doctor of Chiropractic Degree with honors from Texas Chiropractic College. He has been practicing in the Luling/Destrehan and New Orleans areas.
Ash is a member of the American Chiropractic Association and Chiropractic Association of Louisiana.
Pogo acquires Northrock
HOUSTON -- Pogo Producing Co. has closed the previously announced acquisition of Northrock Resources Ltd., a wholly owned Canadian subsidiary of Unocal Corporation, for approximately $1.7 billion in cash.
"We are pleased to announce the closing of this important acquisition, which will provide Pogo with greater proven reserves and a substantial prospective exploration acreage position," said Paul G. Van Wagenen, Pogos chairman and CEO.
Acquisition of Northrocks oil-and-gas assets in Canada is expected to:
Increase Pogos total proven oil-and-gas reserves by 42 percent to 2,041 billion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent.
Increase Pogos worldwide net leasehold acreage by about 82 percent, to approximately 3.15 million net acres.
Immediately add more than 900 identified drilling opportunities to Pogos inventory.
Extend Pogos indicated reserves life to 9.3 years; and
Houston-based Pogo owns interests in 89 federal and state Gulf of Mexico lease blocks offshore from Louisiana and Texas. It also owns approximately 3.5 million gross leasehold acres in major oil-and-gas provinces in North America and about 1 million acres in New Zealand.
Medical workers: Call by Nov. 6
BATON ROUGE -- Special leave for permanent, classified civil service employees of the Medical Center of Louisiana at New Orleans (Charity Hospital and University Hospital) has been extended through close of business Nov. 6.
Employees are subject to be called back to work at either the medical center, other LSU Health Care Services Division hospitals, or another state agency.
Employees who have not called (800) 735-1185 to report their current location and contact information or have not been recalled to work by Nov. 6 will be on furlough, or leave without pay, effective Nov. 7.
File by Nov. 30 for unemployment
WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Department of Labor has extended the deadline to file for Disaster Unemployment Assistance to Nov. 30 for people whove lost jobs as a result of Hurricane Rita.
The department also lengthened to 90 days the paperwork requirements needed to support an initial unemployment application.
Under normal procedures, applicants must file for DUA benefits within 30 days and are allowed 21 days from the application date to submit the required supporting documents. The extension was made because citizens may not have immediate access to the appropriate documentation necessary and may have to rely on others to provide the documentation.
Officials representing the hurricane-impacted states of Texas, Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi are being asked to notify both future applicants and those who have applied but were unable to supply documentation. Officials in Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi were previously advised of similar extensions covering their workers.

KapaluaChick 5m agoEasy and very good. My family wanted more seasoning. I added minced garlic, salt, chili powder and oregano. With those additions they love it. Serve with fresh cilantro sprinkled on top!
AndiSavage 1y agoHearty but a little bland. Will add garlic and salt next time.
napego 3y ago
HaBearNero 3y agoGreat recipe....
LilyBear 4y agoVery good! Added some TVP & everyone loved it!
kevintillman 4y ago
Mamasrunning 4y agoThis was great with the pineapple and so easy! I used 4 different kinds of beans and added celery and zucchini and a little cayenne pepper for heat. Full of flavor! I will make again and again! I didn't have any mushrooms or peppers but it was stll great!
Goldstrom 4y agoSimple to make; the kids really liked it, and the recipe is easy to modify with alternate ingredients. I also serve this as a winter lunch for a group that meets once a week.
pols005 5y agoThis was very tasty. I used 1 can each of kidney beans, black beans and navy beans. I added salt even though it was not called for in the recipe. The pineapple added a very nice flavor but I found the dish overall to be a little bland. I will probably add some chipotle next time.
wyattj 5y agoI've made it twice, the second with dried beans. It is sweet and quite popular with the pineapple. the second batch I threw in some mango salsa (along the with the pineapple. Still pretty good.

AbstractABSTRACT: Vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) is a new technology which can be used for developing high performance laser components for cold atom Atomic Frequency Standards(AFS) technology. The narrow linewidth of these devices combined with high modulation bandwidth and large spacing between the longitudinal modes which makes them relatively immune to mode hopping, and their high reliability make them uniquely suited for this application. Air Force requires the diode lasers at 7xx and 8xx wavelengths for the D1 or D2 lines of Cs and Rb. The diodes are required to have a lifetime of>15 years in space. Princeton Optronics proposes an approach to develop such a laser for Air Force in this SBIR using the VCSEL technolgy. In phase I, we would develop the specifications for the laser and design it and do experiments to determine the validity of the approach and in phase II develop the lasers at both wavelengths and test them thoroughly before delivering to Air Force. BENEFIT: In addition to AF, there is requirement for VCSEL devices for atomic clocks for many other military programs. There is need for the high performance diode lasers for atomic clock devices for a new generation of GPS devices which could be sold in very high volume. The total market for VCSELs for atomic clock is developing to be of several millions of dollars per year. Princeton Optronics has strong marketing, sales as well as manufacturing organization to take advantage of the market once the device development is done.

W3 version: 0.9.1.3
I've installed W3 on several sites but this is the 1st time I encountered this problem. This is also the 1st time I use the plugin on a blog installed in a directory.
When using Minify Disk based, it won't create the minified files.
The directory is created (dir/wp-content/w3tc/min/d045bf) including the file default.include.css.id with the ID inside, 552059464.
The site tries to load the files but it gets a 404 as the file ins't there, dir/wp-content/w3tc/min/d045bf/default.include.552059464.css
Any ideas?

Volkswagen is finally set to launch its seventh-generation Golf family in the States this year, but the German automaker's stalwart Jetta sedan will be getting some love, as well. For the 2014 model year, Volkswagen launched a new 1.8-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine in its Jetta (and Passat). But here at the Chicago Auto Show, Vinay Shahani, the company's vice president of marketing, has confirmed to Autoblog that we'll be seeing an updated Jetta before the end of the year. It won

In addition to several other versions of the Golf, Volkswagen is debuting the new Golf Variant (read: wagon) here at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. And if this bigger version of the Golf looks like it might fit right at home in the States, it's because we could possibly see some version of this car as the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here on our shores.

Read an Excerpt
The needle-boat blinked out into norm-space. Both high and low wave detector plates flared.
"Flame!" The pilot scanned the board, jabbed a series of control studs to put all energy radiating equipment into a passive mode, and waited for the picture to build on his screens.
Energy concentrations peaked around the fourth planet, Haversol, then spread to a standard picket line and deep warning net typical of an Empire operation.
Whaler's fingers flickered over the control studs as he took in the information flowing from his receptors. While all the material would stay on tap for the Institute to dissect after his return, his own survival might depend on a nearly instantaneous understanding of the tactical pattern.
"Ten stans, max," he muttered to the controls, eyes darting from screen to screen. The needle-boat itself was a single pilot craft, jammed with sophisticated sensors and communications equipment, and made possible only through a combination of thin hull, minimal support and backup systems, and overpowered drives.
At the upper left of the board in front of Whaler, a flat panel flashed amber twice, then settled into a steady glow. He touched the panel and listened to the direct feed of the Imperial comm net through his own implant.
"Seven…clear on grid november five…interrogative…"
"That's negative."
"Angel four…negative on survivors…send the junkman."
"Hawkstrike! Hawkstrike! Gremlin, Arthur class, vector zero eight five, radian one three three, ecliptic plus two."
"Hawkstrike, gremlin acquisition, closing."
The Imperial Fourth Fleet was obviously mopping up the scattered remnants of the Haversolan system defense forces.
"Class four on radian two five seven. Hotspot three. Interrogative waster. Interrogative waster."
"Waster's down. Negative."
"Unscramble, Northwave. Unscramble."
"Gremlin secured, Hawkstrike. Repeat, Gremlin secured."
The needle-boat pilot shook his head and touched the pale green panel to start the power-up for nullspace reentry.
The return coordinates for his out-space base flashed across the display. The Institute maintained its own forces independent of the Coordinate. So independently, thought the Ecolitan who was the needle-boat's pilot, captain, and crew, that the government itself had no idea of the Institute's strength.
"Sooner or later, they'll need us again," murmured the pilot. "Sooner, if this is any indication. Much sooner."
Nathaniel Firstborne Whaler, sometime scholar and full-time practicing Ecolitan, automatically squared himself within his seat cocoon and cleared the board readouts, returning all the data to the coded master disc in the center of the boat.
As the bell chime sounded in his ears, Whaler tapped the sequencing plate, and the needle-boat vanished from the norm-space where the Imperial detectors had failed to notice the discrepancy in the energy levels that had been the only sign of its presence.

Step 1: Paint or finish the shutters
When painting paneled shutters, use a small roller to coat the panels first, then tip off the paint with a brush. Next use a brush to paint the horizontal rails, then the vertical stiles, with long, feathered strokes.
When painting shutters with movable louvers, make sure to open and close the louvers after you paint them to keep them from sticking.
Always paint all six sides of the shutters—including the top and bottom edges—to protect them against moisture infiltration.
Contribute to This Story Below
Tools List
5-In-1 Painter's Tool
to help with any necessary scraping or casing touch-ups
Caulk Gun
Paintbrush and Roller
Drill/Driver with a set of common driving and drill bits
4-Foot Level
to align shutters and hardware
Adjustable Wrench
Shopping List
Home centers sell many exterior shutters in stock sizes, but if you want them to be movable and fit snugly in the window opening, they have to be custom-made to your specifications. You will need to order three to six weeks in advance. Many manufacturers have online catalogs and will talk you through choosing a style appropriate to your house. Look for models made from rot-resistant wood, such as mahogany or cedar, with strong ?pegged? mortise-and-tenon joints. If you plan to paint the shutters, order them primed.
2. Hinges
Ask for recommendations on period-appropriate hardware for the shutters you?ve chosen, beginning with hinges. Beware, though:Some hinges require chiseling out mortises on the shutters and casing. Depending on the detail of the trim around the window, you may also have to decide between hinges that rest on the casing or just outside it. So make sure you and the manufacturer?s rep both understand the layout of your window casings. If you?ll be attaching hardware to masonry, ask for masonry fasteners.
3. Tiebacks
or other latching hardware to hold the shutters open. Shutter dogs are traditional, but simpler catches, spring latches, or hooks and staples are also available.4. Pulls & Latches
To help you grab the shutters from inside and lock them when shut.
5. Capping
to protect the vulnerable top edge of the shutters from the elements (optional).
6. Exterior Paint
7. Exterior Painter's Caulk
8. Shims
9. Silicone Adhesive
To attach the capping to the top of the shutter.

She was built by Eastern Shipbuilding Group and designed by Petrobras. The goal was to create an offshore crew transport vessel that would phase out costly helicopter rides and rough voyages on convention, mono-hull crew boats. The SWATH design provided a smooth ride and met the requirements of an average speed of 25 knots. This vessel is capable of speeds over 30 knots. The ergonomic requirements were defined to limit the incidence of seasickness to less than 5% in 4 hours exposure in the 2- to 3- meter seas so common to the Campos Basin where the vessel would operate. They also required comfortable seating, ample legroom and an HVAC system with a relatively high rate of exchange. The final design presented a number of challenges, while incorporating many high tech features, such as a gas turbine coupled to controlled pitch propellers via a 27:1 reduction gear and an active fin system.

My own papercraft LEGO Black Knight is finished now, once I'll finish the instructions, I'll upload it to my papercraft webpage so you can build one too: [link]
Stay tuned! ;o)
Stay tuned! ;o)
Now that is dedication! Awesome work and very accurate! I love the dragon feather on the helmet.
I love this- the accuracy, colours and crazy detail on the dragon crest!
Thanks! I really love the bright blue, yellow and red too! I scanned a real Black Knight minifig, so it was just a matter of tracing the crest in Photoshop to create the shield texture. ;o)
great job, it looks fantastic wow, sword and shield looks awesome, it's great to see whole project finished, and lookin' so awesome
Thanks! I've always liked the Black Knights dragon crest and I'm very happy with how the sword turned out too: I thought it be a little bit difficult to make at first because of the small "knobs" on the sides and bottom, but after breaking it down into separate pieces, it turned out not so difficult after all! ;o)
Yeah those knobs on the sword....actually i don't even remember lego swords have those, I'm really impressed how accurate it looks, just like out of the box
Haha, it's excellent. I love the sword.
Great job!
Great job!
Thank you! I like the sword too, I was able to keep it pretty simple while still giving it the correct shape! ;o)
Killer work ninjatoes!!!
Holy cow, that's awesome! Great job!

Well Hill is a small relatively rural settlement, a large hamlet or possibly a small village, in the Sevenoaks district of Kent. It lies immediately east of the Greater London border, is 16 miles (26 km) southeast of Charing Cross, London, and is within and very close to the M25 motorway. The hamlet is in the Kent, Sevenoaks District, but is close to Chelsfield and other parts of outer Orpington, in the London Borough of Bromley; Orpington is also the post town.
The Hamlet consists of several small cross roads on minor country roads which are mostly without street lighting or pavement and some are single track for a length and lined with trees. There are many detached houses with fairly large gardens, scattered with trees, a public house and a small church; further out there are several farms with many fields, and larger, denser woodland.
Well Hill is sometimes referred to as a village but usually a hamlet; although not an absolute definition, it does not have its own parish at present. Well Hill along with Crockenhill to the north make the electoral ward Crockenhill and Well Hill Ward; however the settlement is within the Shoreham Parish not Crockenhill Parish.
Well Hill has a UKIP councillor.
Well Hill is just within the eastern limits of the Bromley, BR postcode area, Orpington is the post town and BR6 is the postcode. About half a mile to the east of the hamlet, near the M25, is the boundary with, TN14, in the Tonbridge, TN postcode area; some of the outer laying farms are within this area.
There is no post office in Well Hill but there are six between 1.5 and 2 miles away located in: Ramsden, Shoreham, Goddington, Pratts Bottom, Crockenhill and Halstead. Orpington main post office and sorting office is located on Orpington High Street, two and a half miles northwest.

Service Description
I have 25+ years of voiceover experience. Currently, I specialize in medical/pharmaceutical and corporate/industrial narrations and eLearning, but do not limit myself to those types of sessions. I also write and "finesse" scripts, offer on-camera narrations (am proficient with ear prompter,) and partner with several production companies if post work is needed.
"Terry is an excellent professional voice-over talent with whom I have worked on many projects over the course of five years. In addition to her professional reading and recording, she has been responsive, personable, and an overall pleasure to work with. Since finding Terry, I haven't even considered another VO talent because of the way she has consistently delivered high-quality results."Healthy Interactions
"Terry is an absolute pleasure to work with. Her creativity, professional voice-over and writing skills adds so much to a production. She just gets it! She is a team player and we look forward to working with her in the near future."Life Productions
"Terry has an amazing voice talent. Believe me, there's nothing especially riveting about highly complex, detailed pharmaceutical presentations, but the sound of her voice made them work, made them watchable, interesting, and worthwhile, which is no small accomplishment."TR Videos
"Not only is Terry a great talent on camera or behind the microphone, she is the most accommodating freelancer we've ever worked with."WIN Media
"As a voice over or on-camera talent, I'm always amazed at all the things Terry brings to the table. As a former producer, she thoroughly understands the production process.
