I was interested in The Book of Eli at first, but then the negative reviews came in. I lost interest. Then, a day later, it jumped from 19% to 50%. I have now regained my interest in the movie.

Wait, so you were interested in seeing the movie, then you weren't interested because it's at 19% at RT, but then you are interested again because it's up to 50% (which is still an F grade)?
Me, personally, I don't care to watch Denzel aimlessly walking through a desert, killing people one moment and then quoting the Bible the next minute. Hmm, going around quoting the Bible, but then killing anyone who disagrees with you ... yep, that sums up the Catholic faith in a nutshell!

That's not how the plot goes, but watching The Book of Eli is better than watching Jackie Chan babysit and fight crime simultaneously.

The Spy Next Door already looks like a strong contender for next year's Razzies. It currently has 9% at RT and the CONSENSUS says "Lacking a script funny enough to cover up for Jackie Chan's fading physical gifts, The Spy Next Door fails on every conceivable level." Ouch!
By the way, the new site looks AWESOME!

It's January 17, and we're still looking for the first big hit of 2010. Avatar reigns for the fifth straight week, while The Book of Eli settles for second. Here's the week ahead:
1/19 On DVD
There isn't anything big coming out on DVD this week. Here's what IS coming out:
The Invention of Lying
1/22 In Theaters
Legion - Will this be our first big hit of 2010?
Tooth Fairy - Will this be worse than The Spy Next Door?
Extraordinary Measures - Will this be a Bonus Worst of the Weak?
Those questions and more will be answered within the week. Until next time, so long everybody!

1. Legion: No, it will come in second or third place, while "Avatar" goes on to replace "The Dark Knight" as the second highest grossing movie of all time.
2. Tooth Fairy: Disney continues to de-man-a-ize Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Yes, this will be as bad as "Spy Next Door".
3. Extraordinary Measures: This is a Hallmark TV movie with A-list stars and somehow managed to get into theaters. Bonus Worst indeed!

As the rock group America once sang, "Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man, that he didn't already have." I'm afraid that Disney is simply not to blame for anything regarding Dwayne Johnson.

February and March have caught the brunt of my attention already. Here are some films I predict will be considered for the 2010 RAZZIES. Colors reflect the month of release.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief
Once hotly anticipated, many mistakes were made in the production. Percy Jackson fans started arguing in frustration over the casting, and the CGI does not suit the tone well.
Brooklyn's Finest
I never thought Ethan Hawke or Richard Gere (Autumn in New York) were good signs.
Clash of the Titans [remake]
The original was not so bad, but it was only made in 1981. Remaking a movie that recent never goes well. The second of several Greek Mythology related movies this year, indeed the return of the "sword and sandal" genre may be a nasty one.
How to Train Your Dragon
DreamWorks Animation is either hit or miss. Gerard Butler doesn't sound good.
The Back-Up Plan
A romantic comedy starring Jennifer Lopez. I expect this to go the way of The Wedding Planner and Monster-in-Law.
Death at a Funeral
IIRC, the dreaded remake of a 2007 British film starring people like Chris Rock.
Matthew Vaughn has Swept Away on his resume. It also stars Nicolas Cage.
A Nightmare on Elm Street [remake]
This one is similar to the remake of Friday the 13th.
Shrek Forever After
The first two Shreks were among the best movies from the former half of last decade. Will this one get mixed reviews like Shrek the Third? Will it redeem the series? Or will it bring the series to an embarrassing wrap-up?
The A-Team
This movie is already guaranteed for consideration this year.
The Karate Kid [remake]
See notes for The A-Team
Footloose [remake]
Another remake of a film from the 1980's. It's way too recent!
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
Need I say more?
The Sorcerer's Apprentice
A live-action movie published under Walt Disney Pictures. AND it stars Nicolas Cage
Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore
The Other Guys
It stars Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg. The RAZZIES have never liked any of Adam McKay's movies. We're going to dislike this one, but most men under age 25 around where I live...will probably like it, because they like Will Ferrell.
Resident Evil: Afterlife
To put it really bluntly, it's time to get our act together and nominate Resident Evil for a RAZZIE.
Jacka** 3D
Jacka**: The Movie won the special award for "Most Flatulent Teen-Targeted Movie" in 2002. Jacka**: Number Two evaded the 2006 Razzies. How badly will this one bomb?
Saw VII 3D
It's a distant longshot to expect this series to be fully redeemed.
Red Dawn
Same notes as Footloose [remake].
Dirty12Dozen: Btlfld Earth, The Love Guru, Killers, Nw Yr's Eve, Paranoia, A Madea XMas, Dvl's Due, Sngl Mom's Clb, Annie [rmk], Atlas Shrugged III, T Wdg Rngr, Blart 2. Enemy #1: Age of Extinction

Cashing in on the Harry Potter style fantasy novel market.
I like Ethan Hawke best when teamed with Richard Linklater. His choices in films these days have been very hit or miss, mostly miss.
I love Greek Mythology as much as the next person. Sure, CGI-wise, this movie will beat the sh*t out fo the original's stop motion claymation. However, I can wait for Redbox.
This one looks interesting. DreamWorks usually rakes in the profits, while Pixar rakes in the Oscars.
Does anyone even care about J.Lo any more?
Send this one straight to the Worst Remake pile.
Little pre-teen assassins. I can already see the piles of hate mail that parents and watchdog groups will be writing into the studio for this one.
But it will have modern day fashion, slang, and technology and will have the pacing of a music video ... so that brain dead teens will be able to relate to it.
Thankfully, this will be the last of the series.
There goes more of childhood being raped for profit by H-Wood.
See "A-Team"
As I turn 30 years old this year, I'm amazed that everything I watched as a youth can now be seen once again ... only in sh*ttier quality.
No, that's enough.
So it's not enough to make remakes and adapations of old TV series, novels, video games, comic books, amusement park rides, and board games, now we'll just make live action movies of animated movies.
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
Top contender for Worst Ensemble Cast!
An army of Milla Jovovichs?! Where do I sign up?! Just watch the direct to DVD, CGI movie instead.
Oh goodie, morons in 3-D.
Isn't this series on its death-bed as it were?
Seriously, I'll be 30 this year, yet the same movies from 3 decades ago are still in theaters!

I usually don't make first impressions of movies until I see a trailer and/or some critical reception. Don't expect me to make first impressions of those films until their release dates get closer.

Hey, things are coming together nicely. I see the rom-com bomb Leap Year, Tim Allen's latest misfire Crazy on the Outside and Jackie Chan's ripoff The Spy Next Door all have their own threads. Just need the HeadRAZZ's opening page for LY and TSND and things will be good to go.
We're gonna have so many ripoffs, remakes and sequels this year. I'm not sure how many rom-com bombs we'll have, though. We'll have a remake (Edge of Darkness) and a rom-com bomb (When in Rome) on 29 Jan 2010 for sure. It's like the studios just pile them up and shovel them into the manure spreader. . . .
We have three question marks coming up this week. One, which stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Ashley Judd and Julie Andrews, The Tooth Fairy, looks likely based on its bad trailer, but we've been burned by Johnson before with The Game Plan, which turned out not anywhere near bad enough for our consideration. Extraordinary Measures and Legion have decent trailers, but, when I start thinking about their plots, both could wind up going either way. It will be interesting to see how many if any of them warrant our attention.

Do you really want fear of remakes. I grew up watching Fantasia's The Sorcerer's Apprentice, one of the greatest Mickey Mouse cartoons ever made, and they make a live-action movie called The Sorcerer's Apprentice. What I'm expecting from Disney is Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, an adaptation of one of the best video games ever. I'm new to this forum, and I'm also going through a bad economy like all of you. Recently, we've seen a surge of remakes that have become box office flops. Speed Racer, Dragonball: Evolution, Land of the Lost, and even Fame flopped only making $22 million off its $25 million budget. Others include Bangkok Dangerous, The Taking of Pelham 123, Street Fight: Legend of Chun Li, and even a rare 2009 movie that I've never heard of called Band Slam flopped because, you know, never heard of it. Did a little research on box office flops of 2009 and found out Band Slam bends toward the silly High School Musical and Hannah Montana area, which aspiring filmmakers like me fear a lot. I want to make animation and good kids stuff when I'm an adult, but I fear so much that I make up the story that they are making High School Musical and Hannah Montana because they know my name and will try to prevent me from ever getting my dream career. My influences come from the Rankin Bass Christmas specials, Jim Henson's line of work, Disney's library of real animation, Pixar, George Lucas' Star Wars and Indiana Jones, Dr. Seuss, and also Don Bluth's work apart from Disney on animated films from the 80's like The Secret of Nimh, An American Tail, and The Land Before Time.
Do you think I was young enough to grow up watching Smurfs, Thundercats, and reruns of shows like A-Team and Dukes of Hazzard, and Alvin and the Chipmunks?

If there was one look we feel is absolutely ubiquitous this season, it would be the no-makeup look. More challenging than you'd think, there's an art to blending in the neutral tones so that there isn't a hint of the effort. Below are 5 beauty essentials that will make it easy peasy.
The Beauty Essentials
1. Start With a Clean Slate
To help makeup blend in easier, be sure to start with a clean face. When choosing a cleanser, keep your skin type in mind. For drier skin, be sure to avoid products with a heavy alcohol content that would dry your skin out further. For oily skin, a cleanser with Alpha-Hydroxy Acids will help to eliminate excess oil and cleanse the pores. Sensitive skin? Keep away from anything with exfoliating beads or heavy chemicals that will irritate. The foundation of any beauty essentials.
2. Moisturize
By choosing a tinted moisturizer, you'll be able to hit two birds with one stone. The pigments will become your base layer for evening skin tone and concealing blemishes while restoring moisture to the skin for a dewy finish. A good CC Cream would also be a good choice as they hydrate, treat and protect all in one.

3. Concealer
What you think of traditionally when you think of beauty essentials. A good concealer is as good as magic when it comes to battling trouble spots. Find a concealer with a small applicator and dab light amounts to visible problem areas. When used sparingly and blended well, you won't even be able to tell you didn't have perfect skin to start with.
Our CARGO Picks: OneBase™, JetLag™ Concealer
4. Powder
Using a brush and apply in a circular motion, apply lightly and blend fully to get matte, seamless coverage. Avoid if you have dry skin as it will be more difficult to blend and may be visible.
Our CARGO Picks: Cargo_HD Picture Perfect Translucent Powder
5. Blush
Choose a blush color that will blend with your natural skin tone and not stand out. A bronzer could also work for a sun-kissed look if your skin has golden tones.

Cute and perfect
I bought this set for my 8 year old daughter and it fits her perfectly. And we love it. The size however is deceiving. I don't think that it should have years behind the sizes because it is a size 6/7 in girls, not in years.

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg donated $500,000 to Americans Elect, which used it to help buy $1.75 million worth of ads on Angus King's behalf in the U.S. Senate race.
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) _ New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who's already donated a half-million dollars to independent Angus King's Senate campaign, will host a fundraiser for the former two-term governor next week. Democrat Cynthia Dill called the out-of-state spending in the race "repugnant.''
Bloomberg donated $500,000 to Americans Elect, which used it to help buy $1.75 million worth of ads on King's behalf in the Senate race.
Dill, whose campaign is underfunded compared to King and Republican Charlie Summers, decried the out-of-state influence, saying "we need to end the financial arms race in Maine.''
King's campaign has accused the GOP and conservative groups of starting the ad wars. But Republicans call King hypocritical for decrying the influence of outside money while accepting contributions from people outside Maine.

America is no longer the boss of the world.
This much is true about anything Mitt Romney or President Obama said during Monday night's foreign policy face-off, the final of three presidential debates, held tonight at Florida's Lynn University.
Also true is the fact few voters, 5 percent, will factor foreign policy into their candidate choice. That said, voters still believe the United States has a major role to play in world affairs, according to a September survey by The Foreign Policy Initiative. The survey found:
· 92.2 percent say the United States should continue taking "a leadership world in world affairs"
· 62 percent favor preventing Iran from building nuclear weapons even if it involves military force
· 70 percent strongly support Israel
· 63.1 percent believe U.S. spending on defense is "about right"
· 75.3 believe military spending has a direct impact on jobs and the economy
· 69.7 percent of respondents believe entitlement spending drives the federal debt and spending
Voters need a clear vision of America's role in world affairs, Dr. Brent Sasley, a Middle East expert at the University of Texas at Arlington. The president has been passive and reactive for much his tenure, though Romney is vague, pushing the aggressive military policies of the Bush years.
To illustrate the complicated nature of modern foreign affairs, consider: the Middle East and North Africa security via Arab Spring that resulted in rulers forced from power in Tunisia, Egypt and Yemen, and uprisings and protests through the region. Terrorism in Libya. Iran's nuclear defiance. The Afghanistan war. America's frenemy relationship with an ever-critical Pakistan. The potentially destabilizing effect of a diminished Eurozone. Syria. China …
That vision can only emerge if the presidential candidates avoid getting bogged down in narrow debates and think "broader and bigger," Sasley says.
Narrow, Sasley says, is when Romney and Obama can't agree on when the president actually called the September Libya attack that resulted in the murder of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stephens as "terrorist" in nature. Instead of arguing over what to call an event, Sasley says both candidates need to focus on "how to keep such a tragedy from happening again."
"What is clear is that the United States is no longer the sole manager of the world economy," Sasley says.
Where Romney and Obama stand, pre-debate
Romney: The candidate's position statements suggest taking a more proactive approach that requires a significant investment in military capacity and reversing defense cuts made during the Obama years. The Republican candidate says he will maintain a strong military presence in the Pacific and force China to be "a responsible partner in the international system." Romney has also positioned himself as an authentic, passionate ally of Israel. He points to tensions between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Obama administration.
Obama: The president proudly takes credit for eliminating Osama Bin Laden, the author of the 9/11 attacks, and following through on making the Afghan people take over their own security so American troops can start coming home. Obama says he has mended frayed relationships with allies around the world, such as NATO, Asia and Latin America.
"The biggest question is what ties all of these together?" Sasley says. "America has engaged in two wars over the past decade, driven out plenty of bad guys, but we have not stabilized these countries at all. We can't keep paying for the same level of involvement, and there is growing dissatisfaction with the ability to get things done."
Sasley and Dr. Audra K. Grant, a Middle East/North Africa expert at the Rand Corp., point to the following geographic zones as areas ripe for discussion tonight:

Auto Financing Online
You may be wondering if auto financing online is safe. With that said, it is safe to say that you have been dreaming to get a car for several years now to no real success. It could also be that you wish simply to have a new one as a lifestyle update or for your son or daughter who's a grown up now. Either way, applying for an auto finance online is indeed a legitimate and safe way around for that matter.
Auto Financing Online Is Safe And The Contemporary Choice
There is a plethora of online auto finance companies in America offering help in order to credit borrowers. Anybody can feel free to tap into auto loan options today. Doing it the virtually can even raise the odds of getting approved in a quick turnaround time. This is how most Americans do it these days since it saves the trouble of tiring commutations and personal meetups with the banks on frequent occasions.To meet positive ends, you will of course have to consider following due process and tips that would really help you come off more credible and qualified for an auto loan.
Auto Financing Online Is Safe And Certain Tips Are Vital
It is crucial that you follow a couple important tips and suggestions when applying online for an auto loan. The following suggestions will truly help you easily get that long yearned approval.
-Securing Your Credit Ratings
One of the most important in applying for an auto loan or pretty much any loan, for that matter, is the personal credit ratings. It would be the heaviest determinants of the outcome, whether you will be subjected to approval or declination from the lender for the mere fact that it states how you are with your previous credit payments; if you actually pay well or not. Going by the lighter shade of the scenario, you will be approved and the approval will be much quicker if your repayments are consistent and that no hits have been recorded from any lender you have owed and owe money from.
-Evaluating Your DTI Ratio
This ratio is simply a statement of how your debts are proportional or disproportional to your income. One of the great things about it is that it also takes into consideration every financial every obligation you hold, from gas and electric bills to your children's educational funding and even your average monthly expenses on daily home essentials. Furthermore, the DTI ratio takes up about 40% to 50% of the approval basis by almost any auto loan finance company.
-Dealing With Down Payment
Putting out a good down payment amount will also raise your chances in getting quick approval on any car loan program online. So basically, the more you are able to pay as a down payment, the better chances there are for you to finally have the vehicle loan. More to the point, you make yourself more viable to lenders with this kind of act.
By following these tips, you will definitely have nothing to worry about. The high favor of getting a car loan is in your hands. Moreover, auto finance online is safe and the modern choice.

I have heard that the Razer Black Widow is the most popular gaming keyboard, but I wanted something cheaper and I found this.
Is this a good one? ANyone here recommend it?
I have heard that the Razer Black Widow is the most popular gaming keyboard, but I wanted something cheaper and I found this.
Is this a good one? ANyone here recommend it?
Yep, mechanical keyboards are great because they lower input lag. You'll want to figure out which cherries (switches) will be best for your typing style and style of play. For example, you have Red switches on that keyboard. I find red switches extremely light and that leads to accidental key presses. My preferred style is black cherries which are more weighty (which is the other option in that amazon product).
Another thing to consider is that the keyboard you chose is extremely anti-ghost. Being anti-ghost is a good thing, but it can also lead to a practice called key blocking. Key blocking is when a manufacture intentionally blocks a key from being pressed if a couple adjoining keys are pressed. For example if you're playing a game where you need to press the QWE keys all at the same time than the E or Q key will most likely be blocked--READ: cancelled--and you'll be stuck with only the QW or WE keys. I don't know how bad the 6Gv2 is about this but it's something you should consider.

http://www.keyboardco.com/blog/index...ical-switches/ that should help you figure out which type of switch you feel would fit you best.

I highly recommend you research different cherry types to accommodate to your own needs. Just know that depending on the cherry type, your keyboard experience is going to be vastly different compared to a standard membrane keyboard. With that out of the way, know that you can buy a sampler for mechanical keyboards as cheap as a few dollars. Basically, you will get a few keys on different switches to play with and make a decision as to what feels best. I still prefer membrane keyboards, but I may make the switch soon enough, as my G15 is wearing itself down.
No palmrest and no backlight would rule out that kb for me instantly.
I can live happily without mechanical keys, but I wouldn't take them for free in that package.
Of course the mechanical keyboard hype disagrees, but I don't see the advantage.
Stay frosty.
My friend has a Razer keyboard hooked to his rig.
I don't see the justification of spending so much on a keyboard.
I have a cheapo($30) E-Blue Combatant-X and have no issues.
I also used to wake up my roommate all the time with the intense key punching

In this paper, micromachined acceleration sensors as ready-to-use Intellectual-Property-Blocks (IP-Blocks) are introduced. These standard elements are available for a special surface micromachining foundry technology. They are ready to use, characterized and qualified design elements, which can be customized by changing the peripheral elements such as bond pads, and allow the fast prototyping and production start of high-performance inertial sensors.
Photo detector integrated circuits (PDIC) require high-sensitivity and high-bandwidth photo diodes for the latest generation of Blu-ray data storage devices. Due to the very short 405nm wavelength used, carriers are generated close to the surface. Standard photo diodes have only a low sensitivity for blue light. Therefore, special adapted photo diodes are necessary to support sensitivity higher than 0.25A/W for a 405nm wavelength.
XO035 is X-FAB's specialized process for optoelectronic and high speed RF applications. It is especially suited for applications needing sensitive high bandwidth photo diodes arrays or CMOS image sensors for such applications as optical data storage, optical data communication or high dynamic range cameras.
This paper demonstrates and explains the effects of hot carrier injection and interface charge trapping correlated with impact ionization under normal on-state conditions in a highly dense low-resistance Super-Junction LDMOSFET. The study is done through extensive experimental measurements and numerical simulations using advanced trap models.
Successful integration of 100V LDMOS devices in 0.35μm CMOS technology is presented in this paper. These integrated devices are enhanced N-type and P-type LDMOS which are compatible with thin (14nm) and thick (40nm) layers of gate oxide. A breakdown voltage of more than 100V with RDS (ON) =200/180mΩ.mm2 for N-type LDMOS and RDS (ON) =690/640mΩ.mm2 for P-type LDMOS with 14nm/40nm gate oxide thickness.
The XT06 Series completes X-FAB's 0.6 Micron Modular Mixed Signal Technology.
XT06 uses dielectric isolation on SOI wafers. This allows unrestricted 60 V high and low side operation of all devices. The process offers reduced parasitics which results in smaller crosstalk, reduced noise and better EMC characteristics. Thus XT06 allows innovative circuit design with reduced circuit complexity. CMOS as well as Bipolar Transistors are available with breakdown voltages up to 110V.
The 5 V CMOS core is compatible in design rules and transistor performance with state of the art 0.6μm CMOS processes.
For analog applications several capacitor and resistor devices are realized, using the double-poly architecture.
Silicon photodiode integrated with CMOS has been in extensive study for the past ten years due to its wide use in applications such as short-distance communication, VCD players, ambient light sensors and many other intelligent systems. In recent years, high speed blue-ray DVD is replacing conventional DVD due to its larger storage capacity and higher speed. In this work, the photodiode optimized for blue ray is fully integrated with standard 0.35um CMOS process and the bandwidth dependency upon thermal process and epitaxial material is investigated.
A study has been carried out to improve metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor's capacitance density and linearity performance. The scopes of the study included single MiM and stack MIM structures. Different dielectric schemes were evaluated with their corresponding capacitance density, breakdown voltages and linearity coefficient to voltage and temperature variation etc. characterised.
High Voltage Device Negative Bias Temperature Instability Improvement with Different Process Conditions
Drastically device dimension shrinkage and rigorous requirement in automotive era puts Negative Bias Temperature Instability (NBTI) at the forefront of reliability issue recently. The PMOS parametric degradation during negative bias high temperature aging can depend on many process variables of the manufacturing flow. A study was carried out to explore the process related dependencies for high voltage PMOS transistor and to increase the device robustness against NBTI stress. In this papers, the process impact on the NBTI degradation were discussed. This investigation work provides methods for significant suppression of the NBTI degradation with silicon rich oxide (SRO) inter layer dielectric (ILD) liner and two-step gate oxidation.

VIDEO: CCTV footage of ram-raid at museum released
13:35 13 June 2012
CCTV footage of a ram-raid at IWM Duxford has been released by police.
Offenders used a stolen red Land Rover to break into the Visitor Centre, in Duxford, on May 30, at 1.40am.
They attempted to remove an ATM before making off in another vehicle, believed to be an Alfa Romeo.
Three men, dressed in black and wearing balaclavas, left the Land Rover at the scene along with the ATM and made off towards Royston.
Nothing was stolen in the incident and detectives are keeping an open mind as to whether it is linked with the ram raid in Papworth on May 18.
Detective Inspector Ian Simmons, investigating, said: "We are keen to speak to anyone with information about the offence or, who is responsible.
"Hopefully the CCTV footage will remind people of the incident and encourage them to come forward to assist our investigation."
Anyone with information should call police on 101, or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

text: An ever-bearing (or "day neutral") variety, Albion strawberries are prized for their very large size (up to1 1/2" wide), their sweetness and their extended season of productivity. These sustainably grown plants are high yielding, with robust runners and stalks that produce a steady harvest of berries from June through October. Resistant to disease, heat and humidity, the variety is very easy to grow. Enjoy the fresh berries over yogurt, waffles and pancakes for breakfast, use them to make smoothies, salads and homemade jams; or puree and add to homemade ice cream and refreshing drinks.

Welcome to Java Nooryani, vegan enthusiast in Brooklyn. Java moved to NYC from LA to study literature at NYU. After being a vegetarian for 10 years, she shifted to adopt veganism. She shops NYC farmers' markets for the freshest local ingredients and celebrates the many veg-friendly offerings in her new borough. Like many Kosher Like Me followers, Java is on the lookout for veg based dishes wherever she goes.
Here's Java's take on The V-Spot in Park Slope, Brooklyn.
Park Slope is considered one of Brooklyn's best residential neighborhoods to live in but it's also just a great place to dine out. Its bustling 5th Ave block, just south of the Atlantic-Barclays Center and terminal, offers diners a large variety of eating options. Amidst this non-residential/business heavy block, I discovered The V-Spot—an all vegan Latin American restaurant. V-Spot provides healthy and animal-friendly alternatives to many dishes that traditionally contain meat and diary.
My roommate K and I went into V-Spot Thursday night for an early dinner. The vibe inside was friendly and relaxed; the staff was accommodating and attentive and the ambience was casual and cozy. K has a few food allergies and was happy to be in a restaurant with helpful servers and gluten-free options. Scanning the menu, we were excited to find so many items that catered not only to our respective diets but also our individual tastes.
Having grown up in Los Angeles, I have a taste for fresh Latin food—specifically vegetarian burritos—so I was eager to see if V-Spot's burrito would meet my veggie Angeleno standards.
Short answer: it did.
Before totally devouring my burrito, I also enjoyed some of the kale tostadas and tofu scramble empanadas. The tostadas were light and crunchy, with fresh kale, ripe avocados, black beans, and just a touch of salsa and vegan parmesan (Daiya brand cheese).
The empanadas were a heartier affair, filled with scrambled tofu, assorted veggies, tempeh bacon, and Daiya cheddar cheese. Everything inside the empanadas were seasoned well and evenly cooked but the best part of the dish was the flour pastry itself. Golden brown and striking a flaky-soft balance, V-Spot's empanadas are deliciously filling without being too heavy or greasy.
But the V-Spot burrito was definitely my favorite dish of the night. I love a basic burrito and V-Spot offered that and a little bit more. The burrito was filled with black beans, brown rice, fresh guacamole & salsa, vegan sour cream, and something I had never eaten before: vegan carne molida.
Although I'm not a huge fan of mock meat, I decided to try V-Spot's homemade seiten ground beef. I was happy that I didn't take the option to substitute it out; it was a softly-chewy and salty surprise! The burrito was reminiscent of the non-vegan burritos of my Southern California childhood but without the heaviness.
My favorite ingredients in the burrito were the brown rice and black beans, which K also ordered as a side. It may sound simple, but good rice and beans goes a long way with Latin food lovers like me. With a savory aroma of spices and herbs, V-Spot's version of the Latin staple is sure to win you over too.
- 2 cups brown rice
- ¼ cup canola oil
- ½ cup chopped red pepers
- ½ cup chopped green peppers
- ½ cup chopped red onions
- ¼ cup chopped carrots
- ¼ cup green peas
- ¾ cup of corn
- 2 cloves of garlic
- ¼ cup tomato paste
- ¼ cup of cilantro
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 t of store-bought sofrito*
- salt and black pepper to taste
- In one pot, combine tomato paste, cumin, paprika, corn, carrots, and peas with 4 cups of water and boil at low to medium heat
- In large saucepan on medium heat, sauté peppers, garlic, and onions in canola oil, with salt and pepper until onions are soft.
- Add the rice and sofrito to the sauted vegetables and stir for about 5 minutes
- Combine everything in one pot, add cilantro, and cook till all water is absorbed
- Turn stove off and keep lid on pot for about 15 minutes to let everything meld together before serving
*Sofrito is at the heart of many Latin dishes. It is super easy to make and I haven't found a kosher product yet. Try this easy recipe:
Seed 1 each green and red pepper and pulse to chop with 1 tomato, 1 onion, 4 cloves garlic, 1 c. cilantro leaves and 1/2 c. flat leaf parsley. Adjust flavors to your liking.

Valuing the Ocean
Valuing the Ocean is a study prepared by an international, multi-disciplinary team of experts coordinated by the Stockholm Environment Institute. The study will be published as a peer-reviewed book in 2012. A Summary has been released to inform preparations for the Rio+20 Earth Summit and is available.
Valuing the Ocean
The ocean is the cornerstone of our life-support system. It covers over 70 percent of our planet and generates the oxygen in every second breath we take; it has cushioned the blow of climate change by absorbing 25–30 percent of all anthropogenic carbon emissions and 80 percent of the heat added to the global system; it regulates our weather and provides food for billions of people. The ocean is
The ocean has always been thought of as the epitome of unconquerable, inexhaustible vastness and variety, but this 'plenty more fish in the sea' image may be its worst enemy. The immense scale of the ocean, and its remoteness from most of our daily lives, has
contributed to its chronic neglect. For rather than being 'too big to fail', even the ocean is not immune to the destructive capacity of anthropogenic climate change and, more broadly, global environmental change. Its capacities are being stretched and some of the vital services it provides to humankind are seriously degraded. Unlike the ocean itself, many of these services – from food security, to storm protection, to carbon absorption – can and should be assigned monetary values and incorporated in broader global and national economic policies, so that they become visible when we plan for the future.
As financial and institutional resources are stretched in the face of economic recession and a multitude of pressing global challenges, the ocean is not rising fast enough up political agendas, despite mounting research pointing to the multiple threats being faced and growing evidence of the causes behind them. Rather than benefiting from economies of scale, the ocean is the victim of a global market failure, as we continue to largely ignore the true worth of its ecosystems, services and functions, and externalise the true costs of pollution. A radical shift in the way we view and value the ocean is needed.
Some threats to the ocean, such as overfishing and coral bleaching, are widely researched and increasingly well known to the public. Other less visible threats, such as acidification and hypoxia (deoxygenation) of the ocean, are only just beginning to be understood and remain beyond the awareness of most people. Even less well grasped are the ways in which the many complex changes occurring in the ocean overlap and interact, and the extent of their impact on different communities and economies. It is clear that we require new ways of understanding the ocean and the threats it faces, and a greater appreciation of the value of the services it bestows.
This forthcoming collaborative book seeks to bridge these gaps. The opening chapters provide thorough overviews of the current status of the six most important marine challenges, namely ocean acidification, ocean warning, hypoxia, sea level rise, pollution and the overuse of marine resources. There is a substantial literature on each of these issues, but thus far they have largely been researched and reported separately. In this book, concise reviews of the state of the science in these areas will now be found all in one place. The book then breaks new ground by fitting the pieces together in a chapter examining the significance of multiple stressors and their policy implications, and by making a first attempt to actually put a price on the avoidable portion of future global environmental change in the marine domain, i.e. the monetary value of not causing further damage to the ocean.
By pricing the difference between low- and highemission scenarios, characterised as the distance between our hopes and our fears, the book intends to crystallise our understanding of the value of ocean services to humankind and allow policy-makers to more effectively account for these services when assessing the economic implications of global environmental change and what to do about it. In the final chapters, a discussion of different ways to plan for a future fraught with risk and uncertainty is presented, followed by a case study of the Pacific Ocean, which shows how the global analyses presented can be applied in a regional context.
Some things that cannot be assigned meaningful prices are nonetheless critical to the functioning of the Earth System. Nutrient cycling, oxygen production and genetic resources are examples of properties of the oceans that are vital to maintaining our
life-support system, but which cannot be measured in monetary terms. These kinds of Earth System Values are also highlighted in the book through the use of an 'expert survey' approach to complement the more traditional scenario-based planning. In these ways, the authors intend to expand the research frontier in marine sciences and improve on methodologies for holistic, cross-scale analysis.
Decisions in the marine domain will need to be made despite having a number of significant 'known' and 'unknown' unknowns. It is hoped that this book will help to identify some of these potential surprises and put bounds on their significance and impact.
This book is a link in a chain rather than an end in itself. The conclusions and monetary figures it presents are not definitive – too much is yet unknown and uncertain for that – but are intended to contribute towards a new approach to ocean governance, one that is fully integrated and prioritised within the broader picture of social, environmental and economic policy. We critically need to go beyond the current approach of addressing (or ignoring!) one problem at a time. We must create management strategies that are aimed at optimising the sustainable benefits we can obtain from marine resources across scales from local to global, and in the face of several interacting and escalating threats. The very chemical, thermodynamic and biological foundations of the ocean are being jeopardised by human activity, putting at risk marine ecosystems and services on which humankind so essentially depends.
We need to be made aware of what we stand to lose if we continue to neglect the ocean and fail to adequately address global environmental change. This book hopes to guide policy-makers, accelerate the implementation of new management tools and systems, and – most importantly – encourage people to ask themselves what the oceans are really worth to them and to the future of our planet.

Democratic House Speaker Mark Eves says he wants to correct a major flaw in a state program that assists struggling Maine families, and help them return to the work force. Eves says his bill is aimed at those enrolled in the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families program who have trouble finding and keeping jobs due to learning disabilities or other obstacles. Eves says his bill would match those workers with assistance programs, and move them more quickly back to work. A.J. Higgins has more.
There are 10,000 Maine families enrolled in the state Temporary Assistance to Needy Families program, more commonly known as TANF. The cash assistance is capped at 60 months. But what if there are extenuating circumstances that have kept a TANF recipient from going back to work?
"Are there learning disbailities that get in the way?" asked House Speaker Mark Eves. "What are the barriers that have historically got in the way for individuals to get a good-paying job?"
Those are questions that House Speaker Mark Eves says his bill will answer. The so-called "Ticket to Work" is designed to lower the costs of the TANF program by getting people into the work force sooner. TANF recipients would be interviewed by state Department of Health and Human Services workers, who would determine whether disabilities or other impediments are blocking their re-entry to the work force. If such obstacles are found, those individuals would be connected to state programs that would help them re-enter the job market.
"Identifying the needs on the front end to make sure that we are appropriately providing what is needed so that people can transition off public assistance on the front end, not the back end," Eves said, "So they do have a ticket to work, so that they have a pathway out of poverty towards prosperity and into the middle class."
Another part of Eves bill would review whether TANF recipients with disabilities should be placed in the federally funded Supplemental Security Income program. Eves ideas are all on target with the Republican goals of making the state's welfare system is more affordable and efficient. The fact that such measures don't already exist surprise some advocates for the poor,
"You would think that it would be happening," says Gagne-Holmes, executive director for Maine Equal Justice Partners. Gagne-Holmes says a study of TANF three years ago provided new insight into some of the problems with the program.
"People who turn to TANF and are on TANF for longer than the medium time frame, which is about 18 to 24 months, are people who have disabilities, either the adult has a disability, the spouse or the child has a disability and these disabilities are often not being addressed within the program because the program is a cookie cutter program meant to serve everybody in the same exact way, and many of these families have different needs," Gagne-Holmes says.
Republicans at the State House say they're interested in looking at anything that reduces TANF costs. But House Republican Leader Ken Fredette says he doesn't want Eves bill to be used aws an exemption for welfare recipients to receive benefits longer than 60 months.
"We don't want to simply extend a government program or an exemption within a government program so that people can simply stay dependent longer," Fredette says. "I don't think anybody is in favor of that, at least on the Republican side. But we are interested in looking at if people can truly transition and can become part of the work force, That's something that we can support."
Eves says his bill will give TANF recipients the tools they need to move out of poverty and will not shift costs to the communities in which they live.

"Ants are God's way of saying don't have babies."
"Aahahahahahaha! Boomtown! Fluffsticks! Cuttlerate!"
Antbortion is a technique of abortion which, theoretically, requires only ants and an enquiring mind. Pioneered by the Marquis de Sade, research and techniques were furthered by Oscar Wilde, who discovered that while it IS possible to perform a simple (or 'true') antbortion using only ants, there are many other items which can be used to enhance the experience for all parties. This article describes are descriptions of several types of antbortion for you to enjoy at home. The types of antbortion are layered by level, depending on difficulty.
The levels of antbortion are as follows:
- Easy - Level 3 - The Tickler
- Medium - Level 2 - The Exploder
- Hard - Level 1 - The 9/11
- Expert - Level 0 - The 'true' antbortion
Rookie antbortionists should not attempt anything above Level 3 (the tickler).
NOTE: The 'true' antbortion has only been successfully completed twice, once by the Marquis de Sade, and once accidentally by Oscar Wilde on a 10 week kitten huffing binge.
The Tickler
You will need:
- A pregnant woman/man
- Honey/Sugar Water
- A straw/hosepipe
- Duct tape
- Funnel/A lot of time
- An ant colony (generally a 2 individuals for each lb of the subjects weight, so a 130lb woman requires 260 ants, etc)
How: Firstly, strap down your pregnant subject. If they are a willing participant (unlikely), they may try to reassure you that they need no restraining as they can take the pain. They are wrong. Strap them down tight. Next, suck up some sugar water using the hose or straw, and blow it into their baby-hole. Next, either insert the funnel into the end of the hose and pour the ant colony in, or manually place the ants into the tube (requiring a lot of time). Enjoy.
The Exploder
You will need everything from the tickler, with the addition of:
- Chloroform
- 70 grams of nitroglycerin
- A rainproof poncho or similar
- A packet of cigarettes
How: Initially, chloroform the subject. This one they definitely WON'T agree to. Next, continue with the tickler, until the ants are in the funnel. At this point, dab a dot of nitroglycerin onto each ants back, then insert as before. When the subject comes to, they should still be groggy. Offer them a cigarette and before they light up, run.
The 9/11
Once again, you will require everything from the exploder, minus the nitroglycerin and with the addition of:
- Amphetamine or Methamphetamine (Speed, Crystal Meth, etc.)
- A plane (747 preferably)
Perform the exploder, however instead of daubing the ants with nitroglycerin use amphetamine to whip them into a frenzy. Then, as the subject comes to, fly a plane into them.
The 'True' Antbortion
You will need:
- A pregnant woman/man
- Ants
- A lot of time
NOTE: The human brain gives off electrical emissions, therefore theoretically it is possible to use these electrical emissions to alter the things around you. As an ants brain is tiny, you can alter your own brain emissions to overcome its tiny brain and control it. This principal is essential to the 'true' antbortion.
This is the most simple method of antbortion in principle, but the hardest in practice. First, take over one ants mind. Repeat until all ants are under your control. Then climb inside the subject and eat fetus. Make the ants do it, not you, otherwise stickiness is guaranteed.
There you have it. The beginners guide to antbortion. So, what are you waiting for? As Oscar Wilde says: "Let's kill babies with ants!"

Bioenergy: Chances and Limits
This report from the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina has come to the conclusion that in quantitative terms, bioenergy plays a minor role in the transition to renewable, sustainable energy sources in Germany at the present time and probably into the future.
Bioenergy – Chances and Limits
The Leopoldina's statement "Bioenergy – Chances and Limits" [Bioenergie: Möglichkeiten und Grenzen] provides a comprehensive analysis of the use of bioenergy. It was compiled by a working group of more than 20 expert scientists established in 2010 and outlines under which conditions the utilization of bioenergy is appropriate.
In recent years Germany has seen a steady rise in the number of energy crops being cultivated for the production of biofuels and biogas. Because bioenergy is so versatile and easy to store, the German Federal Government wants to ensure that it continues to play a major role in the future.
Over the past one-and-a-half years, a group of experts from various disciplines have been helping the Leopoldina investigate how Germany can best harness biomass in ways that make sense from the point of view of energy and the climate. The statement on the opportunities and limits of bioenergy analyses the availability and feasibility of using biomass in Germany, provides an overview of energy conversion technologies and introduces promising approaches to producing hydrogen from renewable resources.
The recommendations contained in this statement are intended to provide parliaments, ministries, associations and companies with well-founded and unbiased support in making the important decisions that will lay the foundations for a climate-friendly, secure and sustainable use of bioenergy.
The general conclusions and recommendations have been published and are available at:

text: Kentrosaurus (Kentrosaurus aethiopicus) means spiky lizard. It lived 161 to 145 million years ago in the Upper Jurassic Period and was probably an herbivore. Its bones were found at Tendaguru. The purpose and function of the conspicuous spikes on its back has remained a matter of speculation. Researchers cannot agree whether they were they deterred enemies, regulated body temperature or served communication with other dinosaurs.
