SMOKING: Majority clearly supports ban
Re: "Public pipe, cigar smoking effort alive" (TNT, 4-10).
What part of "smoking kills" don't these folks get? The people of Washington spoke clearly, when they overwhelmingly supported the Clean Air Act that made it illegal to smoke in public places.
Now, here we go again – small special interests manage for the second time to mount an assault on what the people have clearly said they want: workplaces free of carcinogenic smoke. Ultimately, if this thing passes, people are going to be forced to lie and say they don't care about smoke in order to keep their jobs.

At 21, all she wants is to find a place for herself, but earning a living as a private investigator in the shadow of her family's reputation isn't easy. When she is pulled into a paranormal investigation, and tempted by a powerful and handsome sorcerer, she will have to decide where she truly belongs.
When sorcerers call the shots, what's a girl without powers to do? Get ready for a ripper of a murder mystery full of romance and intrigue, where magic potions bubble, passions spark and vampires are definitely not your friend. Cassie Scot: ParaNormal Detective grabs you by the heart and won't let go.
"In this entertaining series opener, Amsden (The Immortality Virus) introduces readers to the eponymous Cassie, a decidedly mundane member of a magical family…Listeners will enjoy Cassie's fish-out-of-water struggles as she fights magical threats with little more than experience and bravado."

excellent new series (hopefully!)
- A. Sunmonu
This book hooked me from the beginning!
Yes, I would, since I felt sad that it was over last night when I finished listening. Actually, I was almost "mad" when it ended - I wanted more, which is the sign of a brilliant writer and good plotting. Ms. Amsden is a superb writer. It's not easy for many young writers to get past the novice stage of overwriting, or distracted writing, or too much embellishment, repetition, or dropping tension - but this new writer is already on the top of her game, right out of the starting gate. She is a natural storyteller, and she writes with such fluid simplicity that the words seamlessly tell the story in a natural, suspenseful fashion. I'm very impressed with her style.
I've never read many books in this genre. Well, actually, this is my first. But I'd say that although it's marketed as YA, the appeal is very broad and many adults will become hooked on the series, not unlike the Harry Potter books.
I really loved Melissa's dialog interpretations and her varied voices between men and women. Nicely done!. She sounded natural and enthusiastic, and showed great emotion when appropriate. I felt she was totally engaged in the story, and that was exciting to hear.
Yes! I kept getting mad at Cassie for her very "young," reactions to her world and relationships (not surprising for her character age) such as family and boyfriends. She assumed a lot, which sent her reeling off in wrong directions (often in her own mind). But the natural misinterpretations on her part were well told and absolutely believable, reminding me of real world people I know who do the same.
I laughed a lot - although this book has some pretty tense and scary scenes (being bitten multiple by a villainous vampire was pretty graphically described, and most frightening!), it also had a nice, light, cheeky sense of humor that I adored.
So many questions remain. I've heard there's a series and a sequel coming up soon, called Secrets and Lies.
Can't wait to find out why Cassie's parents disowned her - what was that all about? It had to be to protect her or their other children.
What is it about Evan they are so afraid of? There's something really big here, but we still don't know what it is.
Why is Cassie so intuitive, and is that really her "gift?" She showed that intuition all through the book, although she didn't recognize it in herself.
Why doesn't she react like most girls to men who obvious love her? (I kind of liked that part, having raised 3 teenage daughters who were NOT like that, LOL)
Will she be able to overcome her feelings of inadequacy in order to grow into a more confident woman in the future?
Will she resolve things with her family?
Will she marry Evan and have super special babies with powers?
I also want to know if Christine Amsden came from a large family like that of Cassie Scot. She described it so well. ;o)
Thanks, Ms. Amsden, for a great listen!

Tributaries® Offers Remote Protection and Filtering For Displays and Projectors
TRIBUTARIES® is pleased to introduce a new addition to its line of innovative AC Power products, the PWRI-XF In-wall AC Power Extension Outlet Kit.
Orlando, FL -September 2011 - TRIBUTARIES® is pleased to introduce a new addition to its line of innovative AC Power products, the PWRI -XF In -wall AC Power Extension Outlet Kit. Engineered to work in conjunction with T100 and T200 Power Managers, the dual -outlet XF model provides remote protection and filtering for displays and projections.
The PWRI -XF AC Power Extension Outlet Kit contains three main parts:
• A dual AC outlet with filtering built into a housing that is designed to fit in a dual gang
Carlon® or Raco® box finished with an integral plastic faceplate including a "POWER" LED, for installation behind the TV or projector.
• A Neutrik® 120V/20A UL® rated AC PowerCon® inlet mounted on a single -gang white Decora® wall plate for installation close to the T100/T200 Power Manager.
• A 14AWG shielded AC Power Cable with a Neutrik PowerCon AC plug on one end and a Nema 5 -15, 3 -prong straight or right angle AC plug on the other end.
With the installation of the PWRI -XF Kit, a TV or projector that is located at a distance from source components can be connected to a T100 or T200 Power Manager taking advantage of its surge suppression and filtering capability. The extra filtering in the PWRI -XF outlet box that would be located behind the TV or projector, provides a 2nd level of protection from EMI/RFI that could be induced into the unshielded in -wall wiring connecting the outlet box to the Neutrik inlet.
The PWRI -XF AC Power Extension Kit provides components with a clean source of power, free of signal degrading noise and distortion. The new model is designed to provide a maximum of 1800W/120V/15A of clean and filtered power to components.

Paul Pierce on his clutch shooting: 'Can't buy it at Costco'
TORONTO - Three days after Paul Pierce's late dramatics lifted the Nets to a Game 1 victory over the Raptors, his performance still was a topic of questions and answers at the team's Tuesday morning shootaround at Air Canada Centre.
So, why are you so darn clutch, Paul?
"I don't know," he said. "I think it's in the DNA. Everybody doesn't have it. Everybody's not born with it. Can't buy it at Costco or Walgreen's. It's in the DNA."
Well, then, how do you sustain it year to year?
"Like I said, it's in the DNA. It's in there. There's nothing I can do to let it go. I can't lose it, I can't break it. I mean, it's in there. It's in there."
Pierce said he still remembers his first clutch shot, a game-winner on the junior varsity team in ninth grade.
"That was just the beginning. Once you get a taste of it you enjoy those moments and it just grew and grew."
Teammate Kevin Garnett said this about Pierce: "A lot of players shy away from the moment. Some embellish it. He's one of them. I think Paul looks to obviously see himself in a different light and plays like it. I've seen him do it countless times. I've seen him look for the moment more and more.
"No sense running from it. He wants it and takes it on."
Pierce said part of his calm comes from experience, something younger players on the Nets and Raptors must go through their first time around.
"There is no other learning experience than actually being in the experience," he said. "You can't just watch the film or think a regular-season game is going to be like the playoffs. But they can watch the veterans' approach, how we prepare, and they can prepare themselves for it.
"A lot of guys are going to be nervous that first game. I was nervous my first-ever playoff game. But I think once you get the nervousness out after Game 1, guys get a little more comfortable with the surroundings and what's going on and they'll be able to fill in quite nicely."
Does Pierce remember feeling better after his first playoff game as a Celtic in 2002?
"Definitely. I felt a lot more comfortable," Pierce said. "You felt like you got all the jitterbugs out of you. The night before you can't sleep, that's all you're thinking about -- playing your first playoff game. Then once you got one under your belt you're like, 'I got a taste of it. I know what to expect the next game. I'm ready for it.' "
Pierce said he was not sure whether some young Raptors are intimidated by playing against future Hall of Famers such as him and Garnett. But Pierce recalled feeling that himself when he was younger.
"That's always going to affect you the first time," he said. "I'm not going to say I wasn't excited. I had a chance to play against Scottie Pippen. That was one of my favorite players in college. I was on the USA team playing against the [1996] Dream Team and I was in awe.
"I just remember he guarded me and I just knew him as this great defender and I just probably passed the ball every time. You get caught up into that. You watch the guys on TV that you idolize and sometimes you get caught into that. But as you move on and play against them more and more I think you get more comfortable.
"I had to play against [Michael] Jordan just one year. Not the Bulls Jordan, thank God. So it wasn't, I think, as overwhelming as it probably would have been. But after the first time you get a taste of it and you get out of that state of awe-ness and just come to play the game of basketball."

Suicide Squad is still in people's minds after all the negative reception and controversy surrounding it. The movie, is set in a DC Extended Universe where many events from the comic books (or versions of them) have already occurred. Unfortunately, while the newest installments in the DCEU are packed with Easter eggs and references, not much explanation is given as to what got the main characters to where they are, making them very intriguing individuals.
One of the most mysterious aspects of Suicide Squad was Jared Leto's Joker. Most of what we know about this new interpretation of the character has been through behind-the-scenes and promotional interviews, making fans eagerly await any new details. The character was also met with quite a bit of divided feedback when his character design was first revealed. Something that particularly caught a lot of people off-guard were Joker's tattoos and his grill.
Previous notable tattoos that people discovered were a Robin on his right bicep, which everyone saw as an indication to Batman's famous sidekick and the other one, which, admittedly stirred way more controversy, was the "Damaged" tattoo on his forehead. Now, thanks to a new revelation from David Ayer to Empire, we not only know where these tattoos came from, but also his grill. Here's what he said:
"This is sort of my personal thing and maybe less about a larger connection. But Joker killed Robin and Batman basically smashes his teeth out and locks him up in Arkham Asylum. It's in the asylum where Joker would have done the 'damaged' tattoo as a message to Batman saying, 'You've damaged me. I was so beautiful before and now you've destroyed my face.' That's where the grill comes from."
Two months ago, Suicide Squad director, David Ayer, stated this about the controversial addition to the Clown Prince of Crime's look:
"The tattoos tell a very specific story. And eventually people will decipher them and understand what's going on, but obviously they're contentious, any time you do something new it's contentious. There's very specific stories and Easter eggs in those tattoos. And even his teeth, there's an entire story behind that which is absolutely canon. It's putting his history on his body. This Joker is a little more working class, who I believe could live in our world."
Do Ayers Words Themselves Tell A Story?
While these details are very important for the backstory of this new Joker,some may see this as a contradiction to a quick Harley Quinn Easter egg in Suicide Squad. During the Squad's introduction, where we see everyone's criminal record, in Harley's there's a line that reads "accomplice to the murder of Robin."
This led many fans to wonder if Harley had, in fact, had a hand in killing the Boy Wonder, which contradicted Zack Snyder's detailing of how Robin was murdered and any previous statement of the Joker being the culprit. However, being an "accomplice to murder" means exactly that, not that she's the actual culprit. This means every bit of backstory given as to how Joker killed Robin and the aftermath lines up perfectly.
What I find curious about these details is the fact that Batman, after Joker murdered his companion, simply punched his teeth in and locked him up, when, in Batman v Superman, he was a little more...trigger-happy. However, it's nice to be getting these tidbits of information to fill in the blanks of the Joker's mysterious and colorful backstory and his narcissistic personality.
What do you think of the Joker's backstory? Would you like the upcoming Batman film to explore that story?

Simply stunning.
Ally Theng is a wine pourer and law student, meaning she probably doesn't have time for anything else, right? Wrong.
She also owns her own jewellery brand, State of Sonder. Feeling inadequate yet?
The range is handmade in Melbourne, with all pieces made from solid precious metals (sterling silver, gold, rose gold) and using wax-cast jewellery methods.
State of Sonder draws inspiration from the awe-inspiring landscapes of Iceland. You'll find earrings that reflect the jagged Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon and rings resembling the country's expansive mountain ranges.
If your travel plans are lacking, at least you can still see the best of Iceland in State of Sonder's minimal pieces.

The adsorption of ciprofloxacin (CIP) by bamboo charcoal in aqueous solution was explored under varying pH, salinity, metal cations, and phosphate. The adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherms were depicted well by the pseudo-second-order and Langmuir models, respectively. The maximum adsorption capacity ( qm) was 36.02 mg g-1 according to the Langmuir model. The CIP adsorption increased with increasing pH and reached the maximum adsorption amount at pH 5.5, then decreased with increasing pH. It indicated that cation exchange played an important role in CIP adsorption. The effects of metal cations (0.2 mM Cu2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Pb2+, and Al3+) on the CIP adsorption are both pH and cation species dependent. Al3+ greatly increased the CIP adsorption on to bamboo charcoal at pH 3.5, 5.5, and 9.5 (p < 0.05). Pb2+ inhibited the CIP adsorption, while Cu2+ significantly enhanced the CIP adsorption at pH 3.5 and 5.5, but both showed insignificant effects at pH 9.5. The presence of phosphate enhanced the CIP adsorption at pH 3.5 and 5.5, while slightly inhibiting the CIP adsorption at pH 9.5. The adsorption mechanisms of CIP on to bamboo charcoal were ascribed to cation exchange, hydrogen bonding and metal bridging. These results suggest that bamboo charcoal has great potential to be used as an efficient material in CIP removal from aquatic environments. © 2017 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog.

The extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) extracted from waste activated sludge (WAS) after short-time aerobic digestion was investigated to be used as a novel biosorbent for Cu2+ removal from water. The EPS consisted of protein (52.6 %, w/w), polysaccharide (30.7 %, w/w), and nucleic acid (16.7 %, w/w). Short-time aerobic digestion process of WAS for about 4 h promoted the productivity growth of the EPS for about 10 %. With a molecular weight of about 1.9 × 106 Da, the EPS showed a linear structure with long chains, and contained carboxyl, hydroxyl, and amino groups. The sorption kinetics was well fit for the pseudo-second-order model, and the maximum sorption capacity of the EPS (700.3 mg Cu2+/g EPS) was markedly greater than those of the reported biosorbents. Both Langmuir model and Freundlich model commendably described the sorption isotherm. The Gibbs free energy analysis of the adsorption showed that the sorption process was feasible and spontaneous. According to the complex results of multiple analytical techniques, including scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, etc., the adsorption process took place via both physical and chemical sorption, but the electrostatic interaction between sorption sites with the functional groups and Cu2+ is the major mechanism. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

This paper aims to identify factors underlying public risk acceptance of the chemical industry in a case study of Jiangsu Province, China and to explore the diverse views of various demographic groups and in various regions using the psychometric paradigm method. The surveys were conducted between August and December 2010 in three representative cities: Changzhou, Nanjing and Yancheng, located in the southern, central and northern parts of Jiangsu, respectively. Based on 1190 valid questionnaires, the results show that public acceptance of the risk related to the chemical industry could be predicted by four factors: the public perception of their personal knowledge about the chemical industry, the perceived effect of accidents related to the chemical industry, the perceived benefit obtained from the chemical industry, and trust in the government's risk management abilities. Additionally, the study found that respondents' demographic characters, such as gender, age, education level, occupation, and household income, influenced the effect of the four factors on risk acceptance at different degrees. The Effect factor more significantly affected risk acceptance among lower-income residents than that among higher-income persons, and people over age 50 with lower education levels were more sensitive to Knowledge than others. Moreover, Trust was an important factor for risk acceptance among people with various demographic characteristics or regional characteristics. These findings can assist governments and policy makers to select target groups for effective risk communication, and also guide the public to improve their rational judgment on risk acceptability of the chemical industry. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

A new PVDF-TiO2 nanowire hybrid ultrafiltration membrane was prepared via phase inversion by dispersing TiO2 nanowires in PVDF casting solutions. The characteristics of the hybrid membranes, i.e., crystal structure, thermal stability, morphology, hydrophilicity, permeation performance, and mechanical properties, were investigated. Results of X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal gravitational analysis (TGA) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis showed that the interaction existed between TiO2 nanowires and PVDF and the thermal stability of the hybrid membrane had been improved by the addition of TiO2 nanowires. Concurrently, dynamic contact angles indicated that the hydrophilicity of the hybrid membranes was enhanced by the addition of TiO2 nanowires. The effects of the TiO2 nanowires in the PVDF on the permeation properties, membrane strength, and antifouling performance were examined. The experimental results indicated that PVDF-TiO2 nanowire hybrid membranes exhibited significant differences in surface properties and intrinsic properties due to TiO2 nanowires addition. Most importantly, PVDF-TiO2 nanowire hybrid membrane can avoid some of the drawbacks of PVDF-TiO2 nanoparticle hybrid membrane, such as, aggregate and leak out of TiO2 nanoparticles, also declining elongation ratio. © 2011.

Increasing evidences suggest that nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) is an effective agent for treatment and removal of selenium from water. For example, 1.3mM selenite was quickly removed from water within 3min with 5g/L nZVI. In this work, reaction mechanisms of selenite [Se(IV)] in a single core-shell structured nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) particle were studied with the method of spherical aberration corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (Cs-STEM) integrated with X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (XEDS). This method was utilized to visualize solid phase translocation and transformation of Se(IV) such as diffusion, reduction, deposition and the effect of surface defects in a single nanoparticle. Se(IV) was reduced to Se(-II) and Se(0), which then formed a 0.5nm layer of selenium at the iron oxide-Fe(0) interface at a depth of 6nm from the surface. The results provided near atomic-resolution proof on the intraparticle diffusion-reduction of Se(IV) induced by nZVI. The STEM mapping also discovered that defects on the surface layer accelerate the diffusion of selenium and increase the capacity of nZVI for selenium sequestration. © 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

The main objective of this study was to investigate foulants in chemical cleaning solutions of membrane(CCSM). Sodium hydroxide (NaOH), sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), hydrochloric acid(HCl) were used as chemical agents respectively. Hydrophobicity, molecular weight distribution and metal ions of foulants in CCSM were analyzed as the major characters for membrane fouling. Results reveal that alkali cleaning can remove both hydrophobic and hydrophilic fractions of natural organic matters(NOM), and acid cleaning mainly removes hydrophilic organic matters. Medium molecular weight of very hydrophobic acids (1-10 kDa) and different molecular weight of neutral hydrophilic acids (100-1000 Da & >300kDa) in NOM can lead to membrane irreversible fouling. Acid cleaning is relatively effective for the reduction of inorganic foulants. The main metal ions in acid cleaning solutions are K,Ca, Al and Mn, which are responsible for membrane inorganic fouling. © (2013) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

A compact suspended carrier biofilm reactor (SCBR) was operated at three different C/N ratios (C/N = 10:1, 5:1 and 3:1) with focus on reactor performance and microbial community composition of nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria. The process was capable of achieving over 90% removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and over 83.3% of simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND) efficiency. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) analysis showed that the diversity of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) community decreased with inoculation sludge, C/N ratio 3:1, 10:1 and 5:1 in turn. Phylogenetics analysis indicated that there were three distinct groups of AOB in Betaproteobacteria subdivision, where Nitrosomonas were the dominant members in the biofilm. Fluorescence in situ hybridization-flow cytometry (FISH-FCM) results revealed that Alpha-, Beta- and Gamma-proteobacteria accounted for over 50% of all cells. Additionally, the clusters of Nitrosomonas, Nitrosospira, Nitrobacter, Nitrospira and AOB of Betaproteobacteria yielded a similar distribution pattern about 5-12% of all cells. Nested analysis of variance assay (ANOVA) demonstrated that the C/N ratio did not significantly affect the shift of populations in different groups of nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria detected by FISH-FCM. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

Human activities, especially dam construction and river channelizations are changing the river environment and stream habitat in the Yangtze River. Aquatic organisms, especially, the four major Chinese carps are affected. Based on the research on the main eco-factors influencing growth and reproduction of the four major Chinese carps, 6 assessment indexes were selected to reflect habitat suitability. A fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model for the four major Chinese carps habitat suitability was developed. The stream habitat for the carp was assessed with the model. The results show that the proposed model is adaptable for assessing stream habitat suitability. The proposed model could provide an effective tool for the river management department assessing the habitat quality. © 2012 Old City Publishing, Inc.

Flocculation is one of the most widely applied techniques in water treatment. Polysaccharide-based flocculants have been paid much attention for their eco-friendliness recently. However, precise molecular structure control is greatly important in improving their flocculation performance. In this work, a series of amphoteric starch-based flocculants with different substitution degrees of functional groups (3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride modified carboxymethyl starch, denoted as CMS-CTA) was synthesized. The flocculation experiments confirmed that the well-designed CMS-CTA flocculants exhibited improved performance in both optimal dosage and pH sensitivity, for not only kaolin, but also hematite suspensions, which have opposite surface charges. Further quantitative mathematical correlations among the preparation recipe, structural features, and flocculation properties were built, providing operational feasibility in the precise molecular control of the flocculants to achieve their desired flocculation performance. Additional experimental results demonstrated that a suitable flocculant could be designed successfully according to the characteristics of the targeted contaminants and structure-activity relationship, proving the effectiveness of molecular structure control for optimization of the flocculation process. © 2014 Elsevier B.V.

That's probably not how Andrew Moss sees himself. But the Aviva chief executive was flogging the insurer's story for all he was worth on Thursday. The result? One-third off the shares and carnage across the sector. Lucky his main job isn't selling Norwich Union policies.
Moss was perplexed, blaming the usual culprits: short-sellers. It's true the hedgies et al have been itching to get their shears into the insurers – though you'd think if they were the main problem, Moss might know how many are on Aviva's share register.
Perhaps the answer, then, is closer to home. When just about everyone else is axing theirs, Aviva has paid a dividend it didn't have to, raising fresh questions about its solvency.
The maintained 33p divi costs £500m and absorbs all last year's cash earnings. Whatever Aviva forlornly argues, it's hard to see takers for the scrip alternative.
That brings the capital surplus down a quarter from the published £2bn. Factor in another 20pc fall in the markets and it's down to about £1.2bn. That looks kinda hairy in the context of £13.5bn of liabilities.
Moss maintains that it's much more complicated than that once you adjust for such things as the disposal of a Dutch health business. But if it is, he should have published a pro-forma capital surplus figure. Maybe he simply ran out of room in his 162-page press release.
Which raises another issue. Aviva published so much info with its full-year numbers, it was practically an invite to find a problem. MCEV is not a bad one to pick. It stands for Market Consistent Embedded Value, a new-fangled measurement that the Pru and Legal & General are yet to adopt. Virtually no one alive understands it, though the figure beside it was an impressive £7.7bn after-tax loss.
An extra £250m provision against a £10bn commercial real estate book – bringing total provisions there to £670m – does not look overly prudent either, given that 65pc of it has a loan-to-value ratio of more than 100pc. Moss says that Aviva's claim over the properties' tenants offers extra security, but what if they go bust?
The upshot is that Aviva shares now yield 17.3pc. You could even get a 10pc return in two months, with a 19.9p final dividend coming in May. But, with the market pulling Allenesque faces, you can understand why some investors prefer to take their money and run.
Bank fees are the icing on the cake
Poor old Mr Kipling. He's had to spend an exceedingly large amount of money to ensure he stays in business.
The owner of those famous Bakewell tarts, not to mention Hovis bread and Branston Pickle – one Premier Foods – has been forced to swallow £76m of fees to remain oven-ready for trading.
Who says the banks aren't making any money? There's £26m to Goldman Sachs and Rothschild in restructuring and advisory fees, £25m to those state-backed puddings RBS and Citigroup for underwriting a £404m rights issue and £25m for its lending banks.
It's a tasty amount to suck out of a business. So maybe they could lend some back out again, without always expecting a cherry on top.

Much was made of director Peter Jackson's ambitious goal to adapt 's beloved children's book, The Hobbit, into a trilogy of films. Eyebrows were raised at the decision to stretch what was essentially a 300 page book across the span of three movies. With so many hours to fill, additions to the original story had to understandably be made. So first things first, if you are seeking a film adaptation that follows the exact contours of Tolkien's novel, then The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug is not the film for you. But if you are alright with the plot deviating from course, then read on.
When first we return to the world of Middle Earth, it is not to rejoin Bilbo Baggins () and his stalwart band of dwarfs, but in a flashback scene that shows a not-so-chance encounter between Thorin Oakenshield () and Gandalf the Grey () at none other than the Prancing Pony Inn in Bree.
Afterward is where we quantum leap back into the present day, where Gandalf & co. are trapped between the pack of Orcs still hunting them, and an enormous bear-strosity. They start by fleeing, which is really what large portions of this movie are about: Fleeing from the Elves, fleeing from the Orcs, fleeing from the guards of Laketown, and, finally, fleeing the dragon Smaug, voiced by a vocally-digitized .
The Desolation of Smaug branches out tremendously from An Unexpected Journey, both in supporting characters and story lines, with more familiar faces returning, along with the introduction of brand-new major characters, including rebellious Silvan Elf Tauriel () and Bard the Bowman (), who is not quite who he seems at first appearance.
Of course, McKellen and step right back into their respective roles of Gandalf and Legolas with ease, and we welcome them with open arms. is truly sublime in the role of Bilbo, full of nervous little tics and fussy gestures that make the character, and the gradual strengthening of the effect the Ring has on him is developed skillfully throughout the film. We're allowed to see the changes wrought in him in small peeks, never enough for it to be over-the-top, but enough so that we know he is forever a different Hobbit, and not necessarily one for the better. And the Dwarfs are, as always, Dwarfs. Boisterous, noble, and loyal to the end, they are not nearly the prat-falling, slapsticky caricatures they were in the first film, which made me want to rejoice. Likewise, there is no absurdly cartoonish character like the Goblin King from An Unexpected Journey showing up to wrench you out of the story. A definite plus.
But there is a reason everyone wants to be an Elf, and it is never more evident than here. The Elves of Mirkwood running and leaping through the trees in pursuit of Orcs, particularly the fiery Tauriel, illustrate that the Silvan Elves are wild and athletic in a way their more tranquil brethren in Rivendell are not. There is no endless harp-playing here, only the deadly action of life-long hunters. Their speed, effortless grace, and insane reflexes illustrate just how badass the Elves are when they're on their game, none moreso than Legolas. This is not our calmer Elven archer from the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but an younger, rougher version. He is a prince, the son of the Elvenking of Mirkwood, and it shows. He is all ruthless efficiency to Tauriel's more compassionate worldview and the deadpan humor that he flashed so frequently in the Lord of the Rings trilogy has not yet been developed here. He is all business, the son of the ruling king and charged with protecting the realm...though not always prone to following his father's wishes.
There is an epic fight/getaway scene involving the Dwarfs in barrels, hurtling down river rapids as the Elves battle with the Orcs on the banks beside them that will all but take your breath away. The sequence shows the true mastery Jackson has over the blending of choreography, special effects, and setting. Dwarfs, Elves, Orcs, and one frantic Hobbit all come together in a scene that is fantastic to watch, full of an even mix of humor and "Holy sh*t, did you see that??" moments.
This is not to say there aren't major issues with the film. A not particularly believable story line involving Tauriel and a male mismatch was obviously wedged in to check off the box next to "love story," making for some truly cringe-worthy moments and ham-fisted dialogue that were great for 15-year-old 'shippers, but bad for anyone with a brain. The editing and pacing were also a bit off, making a run time of 161 minutes seem far longer. Just as in the original Lord of the Rings trilogy, we find our band of companions splitting up to pursue their own missions in simultaneous story lines, but the results weren't quite as seamless as the original trilogy, with a few cut scenes that were jarring in contrast with one another.
Perhaps it's because it doesn't quite have the same shine as Lord of the Rings - we have, after all, seen this world before. Perhaps it's simply because the stubborn, relatively one-dimensional Thorin isn't the sympathetic, fully realized character that Aragorn was. Or perhaps it's simply the side-effect of having to shove too much plot into a story that was never meant to have it, but something about the Hobbit trilogy, thus far, feels a bit flat and without heart. It's a bit too paint-by-numbers, and whether the onus is on or interference from New Line, you can almost feel the various checkboxes being ticked off as the film goes along.
Still, it's a solid film, visually stunning (of course), with some fine acting and incredible action sequences and special effects that pop the eyeballs and leave you on the edge of your seat. For all that, it can be forgiven its formulaic transgressions and claim the title as the best of the Hobbit films...so far.

|Minimum Stay
|7 nights
Paradise on white sandy beach with beautiful sunsets. This condo is on the sixth floor which is high enough for privacy and perfect for being close to the sights and sounds of the beach. Dolphins swim by daily. The pictures below are from our deck.
Clean. Well-maintained building and grounds. Very private (no one can see in windows). Excellent location (short walk to beach and many restaurants). Free wi-fi. Office staff on premises 8-4.
The connecting bathrooms are nice for two so a couple can each have their own sink/makeup area and not have to go through the living and dining area.
Keywords: south west facing stunning sunsets
Privacy, location and views are all a '10'.
excellent views of beach, gulf and sunset. great for walkers.
My husband and I just finished up a week at Sea Winds Unit #605. We have always done all inclusive type vacations so we weren't sure what to expect. All I can say is WOW! We loved our stay at #605. The unit is tastefully decorated and the kitchen is nicely updated to include everything you might need to cook a full meal (which we did) or mix up some frozen cocktails. There's even a dishwasher, and a washer and dryer.
I can't say enough about the balcony. The view is absolutely perfect! You're not too high up and not too low. We were able to watch the many many dolphins and seabirds, enjoy our morning coffee, enjoy many of our meals, play our daily cribbage game and, last but not least, enjoy the beautiful sunsets all from he comfort of our own balcony.
The location of this unit is perfect. You are at the southern end of the island and literally just steps from the ocean. Other condos at the north end are a looooong walk to the ocean. There's also a nice pool and hot tub if you need a break from the sand.
You are walking distance to many of the local restaurants. There is no shortage of choices. We hit up The Crazy Flamingo, The Sunset Grille, Le Bee Fish Market (great fish tacos!), The Dolphin Tiki Bar near the Rose Marina and we also bought fresh shrimp and stone crab and cooked at home.
This unit is perfect for a couple or a small family. You won't be disappointed! I can't wait to come back!!
We have stayed here for several years and it keeps getting better! The kitchen in this unit has been upgraded very nicely. Even though there are several restaurants within walking distance, why eat anywhere but on your balcony? The view is spectacular, with complete privacy. There are many restaurants that will deliver a meal right to your door.
Even though we would prefer a king-size bed, the en-suite bedroom would then be too small to accommodate 2 bed-side tables with lamps and clocks and extra storage space. The queen bed makes more sense.
The closet by the door is full of all kinds of fun stuff for kids and adults alike.
The building itself is very well maintained with high security.
We can't wait to get back!!!!!
We recently spent three wonderful weeks at Seawinds in Marco Island. It was immaculately clean (I'm very picky about this!) and had everything needed for a perfect and comfortable stay. The owners were especially accommodating and everything was top quality, including the view. We really enjoyed breakfasting on the balcony and watching whatever sea life chose to swim by. The 6th floor was high enough for a good view of the Gulf and sunsets. There are plenty of restaurants and fun stuff to do in Marco for all ages and in all price points. I strongly recommend this unit for anyone who needs to get away from it all and feel pampered in the process.
Seawinds is located in the southern, desirable end of stunning Crescent Beach. We have stayed in several units in Seawinds but like this one the best. The 6th floor is perfect for people watching but high enough not to be on stage yourself. The middle units have privacy, unlike the larger end units where the balconies are open on one side, exposing you to wind. Unit 605 is clean, comfortable and very tastefully decorated. The kitchen has every utensil you can possibly need for gourmet dining on the balcony, while watching the dolphins or the breathtaking sunsets. There are about 10 restaurants within walking distance and tons of aqua sport stuff can be rented just up the beach. We look forward to returning every year!
We enjoyed a wonderful week at this property. The unit was very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. The view was spectacular--we saw dolphins every morning! The table and chairs on the balcony were really nice to have--we were able to eat almost all of our meals outside. The pool area was very popular with our kids (ages 3 and 5). The pool is a heated, salt water pool and was also very nice and clean. Linda was very helpful prior to our arrival with giving us details about where to get groceries, restaurant recommendations, etc. I would definitely recommend this property!
My family and I just got back from our second trip to Marco Island, and this time was just as good as the first! The condo at Seawinds (605) was very clean and in the right spot (not tod low and not too high), and the owner was extremely helpful. My kids (age 14 and 12) had a great time at the beach and the Seawinds pool, and I enjoyed listening to the ocean waves every night as I went to sleep. We would recommend Seawinds condo 605 to anyone!

Persian Wedding Customs
Persian Weddings – A beautiful traditional occasion with the merging of two families, full of love, excitement and happiness.
Like many other cultural traditions, Persian wedding customs goes back the Zoroastrian tradition. It may have evolved over the years through various tradition practices, the actual ceremonies have more or less, stayed the same.
The typical Persian wedding consists of two phases: the aghd (the ceremony) and the aroosi (the reception) and are usually celebrated within the same day – however, in some occasions, there might a gap in time in order to celebrate the two stages.
The first phase is called "Aghd", the legal process of getting married. During this phase, both the bride and the groom along with their guardians sign a marriage contract.
The second phase is "Jashn-e Aroosi". This is typically the wedding reception where the actual feasts and the celebrations takes place with family members and friends and lasts from three to seven days.
Tradition Meets Desire
The ceremony takes place in room beautifully decorated with flowers with an elaborately designed spread on the floor called "Sofreh-ye Aghd". Normally, Sofreh-ye Aghd is set on the floor facing east, towards the direction of sunrise (light). The bride and the groom that are seated at the head of Sofreh-ye Aghd will be facing "The Light". By customs, Aghd usually takes place inside the home of the guardians/parents of the bride. The guests who arrive at the ceremony are the witnesses to the marriage and they initiate the wedding ceremony. Furthermore, the couple's guardians and other elder close family members are also present in the room to meet and greet guests and guide them to their seats. Once everyone is seated, the bridegroom is the first to take his seat in the room at the head of Sofreh-ye Aghd. The bride then follows and joins the bridegroom. In Persian tradition, the bridegroom always sits on the right hand side of the bride as the right hand side designates a place of respect in Zoroastrian culture.
Important Symbolic Elements
- Persian Wedding Spread – Persian Wedding Sofreh Aghd- this is used on the floor as the backdrop for Sofreh-ye Aghd and is traditionally passed from mother to daughter (or occasionally son). The spread is made of a luxurious fabric such as "Termeh" (Cashmere: A rich gold embroidered fabric originally made from the soft wool found beneath the hair of the goats of Cashmere, Tibet, and the Himalayas), "Atlas" (Gold embroidered satin) or "Abrisham" (Silk).
- Mirror (of fate) "Aayeneh-ye Bakht" and two Candelabras - (represents the brightness of the future of both the bride and groom) one on either side of the mirror. The mirror and two candelabras represent both light and fire, two very important elements in the Zoroastrian culture. When the bride enters the room, her veil is covering her face. Once she is seated beside the bridegroom, the veil is then removed and the first thing the bridegroom sees in the mirror should be the reflection of his soon-to-be wife.
- A tray of seven multi-colored herbs and spices "Sini-ye Aatel-O-Baatel" – the seven trays are supposed to guard the couple and their lives together against the evil eye and witchcraft. It will help drive away evil spirits. This tray consists of seven elements in seven various colors:
- Poppy Seeds "Khash-Khaash" (to break spells and witchcraft)
- Wild Rice "Berenj"
- Angelica "Sabzi Khoshk"
- Salt "Namak" (to blind the evil eye)
- Nigella Seeds "Raziyaneh"
- Black Tea "Chaay"
- Frankincense "Kondor" (to burn the evil spirits)
- A bowl of gold coins – represents wealth and prosperity in their marriage.
- A scarf or shawl made out of silk or any other fine fabric – to be held over the bride and bridegroom's head throughout the ceremony by different happily married female relatives (mostly bride's close family members).
- Two sugar cones "Kalleh Ghand" - made out of hardened sugar that is used during the ceremony. These sugar cones are grinded together above the bride and bridegroom's head (over the scarf held above their heads) throughout the ceremony to shower them in sugar (symbolizes sweetness and happiness).
- A cup of honey - sweetens life. Immediately after the couple has tied the knot, they should each dip one pinky finger in the cup of honey and feed it to the other one.
- A needle and seven strands of colored thread – a figurative component that sews up the mother-in-law's lips from speaking unpleasant words to the bride. The shawl that is held above the couple's head throughout the ceremony is sewed in one corner by the needle and threads.
- A copy of the couple's Holy Book - placed on the spread. For Christian couples, it would be the Bible, for Zoroastians, it's the Avesta and for Muslims,the Qur'an, This symbolizes God's blessing for the couple. Some couples use a poetry books such as Khayyam's poetry collection or Hafiz poetry collection instead as a substitution to the holy book. Traditionally, "Avesta", the ancient Zoroastrian holy book was used by the majority of Iranians and the Bible was used by the Iranian Christians during the ceremony and readings were made from it. As the years progressed, Qur'an replaced Avesta for most wedding ceremonies after Iran got attacked by Arabs and forced the people to accept Islam.
Persian Wedding Cards | Symbolic Gifts
Part of their tradition is to place a prayer carpet/kit in the center of Sofreh-ye Aghd as a reminder to the couple of the important of prayer during blissful and rough times. This kit includes a prayer rosary, a cross, a Holy Bible, a small rug called "Sajjaadeh" and a strand of prayer beads "Tasbih". Furthermore, a wide assortment of sweets and pastries are then shared with the guests following the ceremony. The assortment usually includes but are not limited to: Sugar coated almond strips "Noghl", Baklava (a sweet flaky Persian pastry "Baaghlavaa"), Mulberry-almond paste made in the shape of mulberries "Tout", Rice-flour cookies "Noon-Berenji", Chickpea-flour cookies "Noon-Nokhodchi", Almond-flour cookies "Noon-Baadoomi", and Honey roasted almonds "Sohaan A'sali".

GOD, GRACE AND DUMB LUCK, a collection of short stories about life, love + the general shortcomings of life
by Phloyd Knucklez
Verdict: Mr. Knucklez's intentions are good and the stories are headed in the right direction. Now if he can get them past the draft stage, then he could have something to work with.
The short story format has a clear goal: To entice the reader into fictional worlds with as much brevity as possible. But this doesn't mean that the characters should be underdeveloped and the narrative plots completely ignored.
In GOD, GRACE AND DUMB LUCK, author Phloyd Knucklez tries his utmost to deliver a collection of short stories about life, love, desire and the general shortcomings of life itself. However, what Knucklez has spun here is a collection of vignettes, at best.
The stories are so short that by the time we are remotely interested in the characters or the tale, they're already over. The first story, "Part of the Unraveling Process", reads like a sort of stand-up comedy skit, except for the absence of humor or any kind of introspection. The narrator talks about not being necessary or useful to anyone, and that perhaps he is talking to wrong people. The premise is fantastic, and we expect a deep intellectual argument beyond that reasoning. But it never comes.
All of the included stories follow this strange pretense at being enticing, only to fall short in their delivery at the last minute. It's not that the stories don't have potential, but the author fails to connect to the reader, the story and—sometimes—to his own characters.
In "To Plunder and Misrepresent," the narrator is an unemployed and unmotivated individual who is constantly interrogated by his family and friends about his search for a job. While simultaneously dodging the probing questions regarding his search for employment, he finds lonely spinsters to occasionally cook for him and offer him a place to stay, which he rejects. He goes on to discuss his job interviews, which he miserably bombs, and in the end we just feel like nothing happened. We feel cheated out of the story that never was and a little wary of the rest.
Mr. Knucklez's intentions are good and the stories are headed in the right direction. Now if he can get them past the draft stage, then he could have something to work with.

Is 'Dating' Still A Thing?
- Details
- Category: Volume 87 (Fall 2015 - Spring 2016)
- Published: 17 February 2016
Hookup culture, love it or hate it, it seems as though it is here to stay. I rarely hear of anyone actually asking someone on a date anymore, but I have faith that there are some people out there that still have date nights and actual conversations about life. So many of us ~romantics~ find it hard to catch up with this hookup culture.
It seems a lot like people aren't "asked out" anymore, but instead they are DMed, direct messaged, or swiped right on Tinder for an implied hook up. There is something so impersonal about the way that boys and girls today get together. It isn't the cheesy romantic comedy pickup line or the simple "hi" in person. Instead it's the creeping around social media and dating apps.
Honestly, I think that DMs and dating apps are just excuses to avoid person-to-person conversations. Sometimes, yes, it is easier to DM someone because you can really think about what your responses will be, but isn't that the best part of getting to know someone? Seeing whom they really are when they have no time to plan out what to say.
Furthermore, it seems like our generation doesn't like to label things anymore. If you're hooking up, it's nothing to anyone. If you're hooking up and hanging out it seems like you're just "talking." But, what does that even mean? What it means is that you're not labeling anything because you're keeping your options open. Again, with hookup culture, we aren't limiting ourselves to just one person to spend time with. Therefore, we donned the potential partners in our lives as someone we are just "talking" with.
Avoiding labels gets us into some tricky situations. If you're "talking" with someone does that mean that you can't hookup with other people, or is that cheating? Would the person you're "talking" to get upset about that or are they hooking up with other people too? And if they are, are you okay with that, or do you want something more from them? All of these questions, which are just scratching the surface of all the confusion, float in your head when you're in a just "talking" relationship (a "relationship" like a connection you make on Linkedin, clearly not a holding hands relationship).
Wouldn't it just be easier to ask someone on a date and give a real relationship a whirl? I feel like it is easier to know if you like someone for who they really are if you spend more personal time with them. You waste less time getting to know someone than you do trying to figure out what your "relationship" is.
"Dating" comes with a set of social guidelines that clear up so many questions that someone who is just "talking" to someone would have. If you're dating someone you aren't seeing anyone else. Loyalty is expected. If you're dating someone you're both making the conscious effort to get to know one another.
To change this culture for the better it would be best to start by knowing what we are getting ourselves into, and be on the same page. If we are just "talking" to someone it could mean a thousand different things. Why do we do this to ourselves? We need to get to know people better. Foxy Brown once said, "To find a prince, you gotta kiss some toads." So, let's get to know the toads first and then figure out if they're worth kissing.

In the demo (http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/editor/immutable-elements) or the preview in the api reference (http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/editor#configuration-immutables) the immutable elements (html elements that have the contenteditable="false" attribute) can be deleted.
They can be selected by double clicking and deleted by pressing Delete. Or just selecting everything in the editor and pressing Delete. Tested with Chrome 53 and Internet Explorer 11.
I am confused as the description for Immutable Elements states:
"The Kendo UI Editor widget and its Immutable Elements feature enables you to predefine elements in the content area that cannot be edited by the end user."
I assumed that edited also meant deleted. Is this the intended behaviour?

Hello Andrey,
I am afraid no. Currently there is no way to prevent an element in the content to be deleted.
You can submit this as a feedback in the Kendo Feedback portal,, so that it is can be considered by the dev team and the PM of the product.

Thank you to the men and women who served with honor. Since the Revolutionary War, you have set aside your life, and in some cases, given your life, to serve a greater cause with honor. The liberties I enjoy are attributable to you. Thank you.
Thank you to my grandfather, (front row, 2nd from right) who served in the the First World War in the Royal Leicestershire Regiment. This regiment was an infantry regiment of the line in the British Army, with a history going back to 1688. It saw service for three centuries, and during WWI, the regiment increased from five to nineteen battalions which served in France and Flanders, Mesopotamia and Palestine. The regiment lost approximately 6,000 dead in the four years of war.
Thank you to John Prata, (father) who served in the US Navy in the 1950s. He graduated from Officers Candidate School in Newport RI and Athens Supply Corps school in Georgia. He served as Ship's Bursar, and in the theater of the Pacific at Bikini. He was on the ships that were testing Hydrogen bombs.
Thank you to Raymond Tortolani, (uncle) who also graduated from Newport's OCS and served in the US Navy.
Thank you to William Keogh, (uncle) who served in the United States Coast Guard.
Though these family members did not lose their life to war, (though many of my father's shipmates came down with various cancers due to the radiation fallout from the bombs), I thank you for serving our nation.

sloth (85) Ceciltucky, Co., Maryland | April 14, 2015
Prolly the only game in town!? Small shop, limited selection, older stock. Found some Joisey local brews i was wanting so all is good. Quiet, friendly staff. Its all good!
jrodooo5 (14) DOVER, Delaware | January 26, 2015
Never imagined finding such an extensive micro selection while in a beach town in the heart of winter! Founders, DFH, terrapin, lagunitas, local NJ stuff, & much more! They have a tiny make your own 6 pack section & a good amount of large bottles. Staff was knowledgable & courteous. Enjoyable experience!
ben4321 (493) Hoboken, New Jersey | August 4, 2014
Decent beer selection for a liquor store, but a very nice selection for a liquor store in this area. Prices are probably too high, but on par for where you are. You could do a lot worse than to go here for beer. They had Carton cans, which is nice for those of us that live in NJ and even more so for those that do not.
orangesol (159) Pennsylvania | May 8, 2013| Updated April 28, 2014
Stopped in here earlier today to check out the local selection. More of a liquor store than bottle shop, about a 85-15 ratio toward wine / liquor. A little cramped once you get inside with all of the beer in the back isle. Service was decent, I was asked if I needed help twice. Quality is pretty good, I checked a few bottles and nearly all were fresh. Selection was surprisingly good, albeit a little small, for a liquor store of this size. I saw a few bottles of Firestone §ucaba, a few bottles of B. Nektar, a bunch of DFH and plenty of six and four packs. Prices were good and comparable to some of the other places in the area. Overall, a decent little store with a good selection and prices that is right downtown. Not the best in the area, that's Joe Canal's in Rio, but more than serviceable for where it is located.
micronaut129 (1) chalfontborotowntonbergville, Pennsylvania | July 11, 2012
An okay place with a nice wine selection but with limited beers. Some basic locals and your other basic beers. You won't find any hidden gems here.
JDBaker11058 (80) Maryland | September 19, 2011
Ambiance: Smallish place in a half-warehouse sort of building in the middle of town. Standard liquor store interior. Clean. Service: Friendly, but not particularly useful when it comes to beer. Selection: This is literally the only place to buy retail beer in town. The selection was reasonable in that light. About five cases of sixers from macros to a few micros, with some foreign jobs as well. About a case and a half of singles. Can't break sixers. Mainly a wine town, reflected in the store here. Food: NA. Value: Actually surprisingly reasonable. If I ran this place, I'd be charging a lot more since I'd be the only game in town. Overall/Notes: Again, the only game in town. Here on vacation, picked up a six of Hoegaarden, a six of Sam Adams Oktoberfest, and singles of Unibroue Ephemere and New Holland Dragon's Milk. Enough here to get the job done.
OliverG (25) Montreal, Quebec | April 28, 2009
Petite place charmante, mais pas super pour les amateurs de bières. On y retrouve quelques victory, rogue et stone, mais pas de grandes surprises. Les prix sont également asser élevés. Préférable d'aller chez Joe canal discount liquor store à rio grande.
slipkrash (2) Cherry Hill, New Jersey | November 27, 2006| Updated March 6, 2015
Vastly improved from when I last reviewed this place almost 10 years ago. The selection size isn't too bad, but they definitely have stuff in there not found in other local stores. Was able to pick up some Clown Shoes and Carton beers, so I consider that a win. Will be going back more regularly.
DenverLogan (65) North Bend, Washington | July 19, 2006| Updated July 27, 2007
Some good micro six-packs and a few big bottles of Belgians (e.g. La Chouffe) and domestics (e.g. Allagash Musette). Good selection for this ritzy neck of the woods.
austinpowers (156) San Francisco, California | May 15, 2006
So so. You can't break six packs. There are only about 25 beers sold as singles. There was some Salty Dog and some River Horse as I recall. Not much interesting. Oh yes, Flying Fish, and some Victory. There was one bottle of Dogfish Fort (750ml), which was unusual in its presence. I think there were two other liquor stores in Cape May but I didn't venture into them and they looked smaller than Collier's.
