" Just like a chocolate chip cookie in a pie shell, this pie is sweet, chocolaty and gooey. Flour, eggs, sugar, butter, chocolate bits, and pecans make the filling for this delightful pie that bakes in about an hour."

The first time I made Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie, I followed a recipe exactly like this one other than calling for 1 cup(!) of butter rather than 1/2 cup. It turned out very greasy. I also cooked it longer than 1 hour... until the center seemed set. This caused my butter-saturated crust to also be nearly burnt. 1/2 cup of butter worked out much better, the pie is rich but not oozing melted butter. I also only cooked for the specified hour. When still warm, the pie is goopy and not that good, but after chilling it sets up perfectly and tastes like chocolate chip cookies in pie form, so I definitely advise only cooking for an hour even if it seems underdone when you take it out of the oven (like pecan pie). Serve chilled with whipped cream.
This was awesome. I followed the recipe exactly. I baked for exactly 60 minutes and it came out set and lovely. I sent it to work with my husband and he loved it. He said it was just like eating a chocolate chip cookie, only better, because it was nicely paired with the pie crust, which added a buttery, flaky flavor to it. (I had used butter-flavored shortening in the crust.) Thank you! ** Edit: I have made this several times now and it is always exceedingly well received. The last time, I tasted it myself and can say that it is quite delicious. It doesn't have the texture of a chocolate chip cookie in a pie shell; rather, the filling is more like the texture of a pecan pie, while it tastes like a chocolate chip cookie (from the semi-sweet chocolate). It is very decadent and would go famously served warm with ice cream or a little whipped cream.
I used walnuts instead of pecans because that's the way my mom always made it. This was perfect. My husband is from the city and I'm a country girl. When he first looked at it, he asked me what the hell it was. After he ate it, he was taken. Perfect recipe.

The Asquinn Twins Series is a saga about a pair of twins, Martha and Martin Asquinn, getting through life together with the rest of the family in both happy and trying times. Against the glorious backdrop and rugged but stunningingly beautiful scenery of The James Bay Frontier, The Asquinn Twins Series tells stories about the twins. These are children parents across the country would want their young ones to be friends with.
Reaching out to hurting and troubled youth.....
Time and time again the twins prove to heart-broken children, down-trodden by some circumstances in their lives, about the truthfullness of the following verse.
When my father and my father forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.
Welcome to Ontario's Wilderness Country- Come, see the awesome scenery, and join in the adventures of the Asquinn Twins
"It doesn't matter what part of the world you flee to," Martha told Conrad. "You can't hide from him. God knows where you are at all times. We will continue to pray for you"
Conrad nor Nigel had any answer to this. Conrad tried to form words but all that came out were garbled strangulation like noises.
Martha looked at her twin, then Sherry, Kenny, and last, Bradan. "The side of good won a victory. Curt, er, Conrad, and his evil influence will not be in Forest Lake directly anymore. Here's your chance to be a witness to children of this community," she said.
Where the White Trillium flower blooms in spring-A vast area situated on the northern part of the province of Ontario, Canada where evil spirits rule this dark area.
The Asquinn twins, Martha and Martin are only three years old when they leave their home in Wales and follow their missionary father, their mother with the baby, Ricky, in her arms, and six-year-old Kenny, into the Canadian north.
The twins are delighted when their father decides to settle in Forest Lake. The family meet with another family, the Turhues. The children are Brada, six, and Charlotte, (Sherry) three. The children become good friends. Kenny and Sherry become engaged at ten and thirteen years of age to marry at a future date. Bradan and Martha,( at the same age) are engaged and the two sets of parents see a double wedding in their children's future,
Evil devil worshipers rule the land. These people do not scare the twins. When Conrad Cameron, the ruler of the devil worshipers, and the same age as Kenny, reaches high school age, he and his half-brother, Nigel, the same age as the twins, move from Forest Lake. The twins see this as a victory for Jesus as they will be able to witness to the children of Forest Lake.
Author of "A Dog For Keeps", a book published in Canada by Nelsen (Canada) and Charlesbridge in the United States. She was born in Kirkland Lake, Ontario, but the hamlet where she grew up, Sesekinika, will always be in her heart.

Judge not another person if you don't have all the facts. There is always two sides to an issue. Hear both sides and look for the truths beneath before issuing defamatory remarks about the victim.
Lord, keep my heart forever young, my hope in You unfailing. Let me age in autumn colors, dressed in banners of your love.

One of the ships seen in Animal Planet's show "Whale Wars" docked in U.S. mainland waters for the first time on Friday to raise awareness on the slaughter of sea creatures worldwide.
The boat, named the Brigitte Bardot and owned by Sea Shepherd, a nonprofit devoted to marine wildlife conservation, will be in Marina del Rey until Nov. 11 giving public tours. For the last three months, the ship has navigated the Southern Pacific Ocean trying to stop the practice of shark-finning, whereby hunters slice off fins while the rest of the shark is discarded. Lacking fins, the shark dies quickly at the mercy of other predators or by suffocating.
"If you can imagine somebody holding you down and chopping off your legs, that's what these sharks are going through," said Susan Hartland, Sea Shepherd administrative director.
The Brigitte Bardot will be part of a fleet of four ships and one helicopter that will head to the Antarctic Ocean later this month to defend whales from Japanese whaling ships.
To date, the organization, founded by activist Paul Watson, has saved the lives of about 3,600 whales, according to its website.
To support Sea Shepherd's goals, actress and model Pamela Anderson, who is also a fervent advocate and supporter of animal rights causes, was in Marina del Rey on Friday to support the nonprofit's cause.
"We have to protect the earth for our kids and their kids, and so get involved, in any way you can," Anderson said.
In the last year, Anderson, along with PETA representatives and other activists, petitioned Russia to join the U.S., the European Union and Mexico in banning the import of all harp-seal products from Canada. She met with Russian Deputy Trade Representative Timofey S. Borodin in October to support the country's ban.
The Brigitte Bardot will head to the Antarctic Ocean for its third season later this month, hoping to stop all whale kills this year.
"It's about being stealthy," said Simon Anger, Brigitte Bardot's ship manager.
The boat's sleek design allow it to creep up on whale-hunters as it is often undetected by radar.
The Brigitte Bardot will be in Marina del Rey from Friday until Nov. 11 for public tours. For a viewing schedule, click here.

The next time a wedding, reception or other special event takes place at Harrison Park Clubhouse, there is a beautiful, newly uncovered wooden staircase for photos.
City parks employees have been painting and doing other renovation work at the clubhouse as a winter project.
Special Services Superintendent Steve Lane with the city said interior and exterior renovations will be completed, including stucco repairs and a new roof to be installed in the spring and cleaning of chandeliers.
Lane said not a lot is being done to change the clubhouse's arts and crafts style or character.
The clubhouse, a historic landmark next to the 18-hole golf course, was built in 1911 for $20,000. Today, the city's parks department oversees the clubhouse.
The clubhouse, with beamed ceilings and Tudor-style detailing was designed by Charles Lewis. Lewis also designed Danville High School and other buildings.
The clubhouse first served the Danville Country Club. It had 11 bedrooms, screened porches, a bowling alley and lounging rooms. Club members would often vacation there, eating in the clubhouse restaurant and playing golf each day. The clubhouse restaurant closed in 1988.
People now rent the clubhouse for various events. The clubhouse also is used for craft fairs, the Starlight Ball, CASA Royal Ball and as a voting site.
The city owns and operates Harrison Park Golf Course on West Voorhees Street as a public recreational facility. The city bought the clubhouse separately.
Commercial-News owner and editor John H. Harrison and his wife, donated as a memorial to Harrison's mother, Minta, the 235-acre park, formerly the Danville Country Club, to the city.
Harrison Park was annexed into the city in 1940. Initially it was a 9-hole facility.
When Harrison died in 1930, most of his estate went to DePauw University in Greencastle, Ind., from which he graduated, for the John H. Harrison Hall. Harrison's stipulation for Harrison Park's land was that the city must use it for recreation.
The clubhouse has now been closed to the public since mid-December for renovations. It is expected to be re-opened by the end of March.
"Over the years there were many alterations," Lane said about the building, including a rebuilt south wall.
One of the most visible differences now in walking inside the building is the immediate stair case to the building's second floor. When one walked inside the front door previously, there was just a wall in the more narrow hallway.
Also found in the building was some wainscoting covered up with 1970s wallpaper.
"It's amazing all we uncovered," Lane said.
City employees took the wall down and opened up the front hallway area to reveal the stairway with a gate.
"The swinging gate is an original part of the building," Lane said.
The city uses the second floor only for storage. There also is a custodial closet, and stairs leading downstairs too, by the staircase.
Throughout the building there are other improvements being considered.
"Just like an old person, (an old building) starts to sag …," Lane said, about the floors and other areas.
The last major renovations occurred seven to eight years ago with the windows, and also other restoration work, interior decorating and other renovations in the mid-1990s with the help of the Old Town Preservation Association.
The building has suffered some water damage.
"It's a part of Danville. It's one of our treasures," Lane said of the building. "It's like an arts and crafts museum."
Funding for the renovations is coming from the city's parks budget through building maintenance/materials to maintain buildings.
Public Works Director Doug Ahrens said a couple items are being placed out for bid, but as of this point, city officials anticipate an expenditure of $50,000 to $75,000 to cover roofing replacement, structural repairs and interior finishes not including flooring or lighting.
Renovation of restrooms is expected to be in Phase II next winter. This spring the city will proceed with exterior work when weather permits, according to Ahrens.

According to sources, John Edwards and Rielle Hunter during their affair made a sex tape that contains "several sex acts." The tape was found by an Edwards aide, Andrew Young. According to those sources, the tape, is explicit and reveals that Edwards is physically "very striking, in a certain area.
When rumors of the affair first broke Young was so loyal to Edwards that he claimed paternity of Hunter's daughter Frances Quinn, now 2. But apparently, part of Young's disillusionment with the 2004 vice presidential candidate and 2008 candidate came one day as he went through a stack of DVDs at Rielle Hunter's house and found the tape.
It was this betrayal that induced Young to write The Politician, a tell-all memoir about John Edwards. It's expected that further details about the tape and other scandalous stories will likely come out in this book.

Mustangs stun Seminoles in home-opener
Date: September 11, 2009
by: The Observer Staff
LAKEWOOD RANCH — Last week, the Mustangs endured what can only be described as one of their worst weeks of practice.
Coming off a disappointing 43-14 loss to the Pirates, Lakewood Ranch headed back to practice, looking to cleanup the mistakes that cost the Mustangs on both sides of the ball. But before Lakewood could work on squaring up its tackles and controlling the line of scrimmage, the team was hit with a flu virus that left the Mustangs' locker room reeling and forced many of the players to watch practice from the sidelines.
So heading into Friday night's home-opener against Southeast, it was anyone's guess as to how the Mustangs would respond and ultimately how many would actually be able to make it through all four quarters.
"We had a lot of kids that were sick," coach Shawn Trent said. "We had a lot of kids that were here every day at practice, but couldn't participate in practice because we have kind of a flu bug that we're still fighting a little bit. Some of those kids had to grow up a lot."
But when the game finally got underway, the Mustangs appeared to forget all about the ailments that had plagued them all week at practice and instead set out to prove to everyone that they were in fact ready to play.
Lakewood took an early lead on a touchdown run by Taryn Laws, who rushed for more than 100 yards on the night, and never let up as the Mustangs posted a stunning 20-16 victory over the Seminoles.
"I think we just totally forgot about (being sick) once we started," safety Danny Zarrella said. "Our defense was just playing really well and our offense was moving the ball and running it right down their throat. I think just the momentum kept us all going and we didn't think about being sick at all."
Lakewood jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the second quarter on a quarterback keeper by Reggie Lindsey. The Mustangs all but sealed the game in the third quarter when Zarrella recovered a fumble on a Southeast punt and ran the ball in for a 33-yard score to extend the Mustangs lead to 20-3.
"Southeast — that's also one of our rivals, so it's nice to get a big win like that," Zarrella said. "I just think people respect you more if you actually win. It was just nice to win."
After beating Southeast at home two years and falling to the Seminoles 14-3 last year ago, many expected Southeast to come in and dominate. But Lakewood wasn't about to fold under the pressure, and in doing so the Mustangs came out of the locker room with authority and put on one of their best performances despite also having to fight off the flu.
"It's not like they really beat us (badly before)," Trent said. "I don't think it was a stretch to get the kids to believe that we could beat them."
Lakewood will return to action Sept. 17 when the team travels to East Lee County High in Lehigh Acres. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m.

It Was 44 Years Ago Today...
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Thu., Oct 10, 2013
"Wessex Studios mid-August 1969. The apocalyptic blast of 21st Century Schizoid Man is abruptly cut off in mid-flow as recording engineer, Robin Thompson, mutes the speakers. Gathered in the cavernous performance area of Wessex Studios below, Robert Fripp, Michael Giles, Ian McDonald, Peter Sinfield and Greg Lake stopped work to welcome the arrival of artist Barry Godber, carrying a large rectangular package wrapped in brown paper. A few weeks previously Sinfield had commissioned his friend to come up with something for the cover for what would be King Crimsons debut album. I used to hang around with all these painters and artists from Chelsea Art School says Sinfield recalling the event 40 years later. Id known Barry for a couple of years...hed been to a few rehearsals, and spent a bit of time with us. I told him to see what he could come up with. I think I probably said to him that the one thing the cover had to do was stand out in record shops. Godber tore off the brown paper and laid the painting on the floor as the band gathered around to see his handiwork. Greg Lake recalls We all stood around it and it was like something out of Treasure Island where youre all standing around a box of jewels and treasure...this fucking face screamed up from the floor and what it said to us was Schizoid Man - the very track wed been working on. It was as if there was something magic going on.

The Road To Red Reviewed
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Thu., Oct 10, 2013
Some reviews of The Road To Red box set are starting to come in. Record Collector awards the set 4 stars and says "The critical consensus is that the 1972-74 King Crimson, with Robert Fripp, Bill Bruford and John Wetton as the consistent core, was the only incarnation capable of burning the 1969 line-up - and the evidence is all over TTie Road To Red. That's 21 CDs, one DVD and two Blu-ray discs of incontrovertible proof, if anyone's counting."Elsewhere, Classic Rock magazine awards the 2disc version of Red 9 out of ten stars, and 8out of 10 for USA. Of Red the reviewer notes "Already both abrasive and attractive, it rings clearer, allowing you to embrace its contradictions." You can take a look at the arrival of my copy of The Road To Red over on the blog.

New Harry Miller Album
:: Posted by admin on Sun., Oct 6, 2013
Harry Miller, who played double on King Crimsons Islands has a new archive release available on Ogun Recording, the pioneering jazz label he founded in 1974. Born in South Africa, Miller became one of the key players in the British and European jazz scene. His work with Keith Tippett led to his invitation to play on Islands in 1971. The 40th Anniversary Edition of Islands featured several outtakes of Formentera Lady which prominently features the bassists contributions to the sessions. Miller died in 1983 but his legacy on numerous recordings is rightly revered and respected.

Projects will also teach the students about project management concerns. Normally taken in the last year of residence. Prerequisites: CS310 and CS410.
Various topics not covered in other computer science courses are researched and discusses. Students consider selected readings, and each makes a presentation and leads a discussion on a chosen topic. Normally taken in the last year of residence.
This course, taught by 14 different professors, addresses many issues. How do experiences, ideas, and roles linked to gender influence your life? What roles do biology, culture, history, and personal experience play in how you and others define the familiar terms "masculine" and "feminine"? What questions about sex and gender are raised within different fields of study—psychology, history, communications, philosophy, or business? My section is entitled "Football, Tootsie and the Irish."
This course concentrates on representing, storing and retrieving data from external storage devices. This course includes medium-scale software development using a high-level database language. Weekly lab and classes. Prerequisites: CS110, CS120, CS230.

Main objectives are to learn object-oriented principles and project management and why they are important. Weekly lab and classes. Prerequisites: CS110, CS120.
Get Smart! Smartphones have given rise to "Citizen Video" so in this course student citizens can start producing their citizen videos for distribution on You Tube and elsewhere. Students will dive in to produce movies that will end up on You Tube and in Carroll's spring Charlies competition. The Citizen Video course will then expand into Citizen Media, and the world of podcasting and video casting. An entry-level digital moviemaking and citizen media primer for student filmmakers. You can use your smart phone or your camera or video or ipad to shoot some video. (We even have a couple of video-cameras.) Then we will edit it into something interesting. Whether it goes viral is out of our hands, but it will be good enough for the Charlies!
This CORE course for freshmen introduces the liberal arts education and the practice of critical reading, writing and discussion.

The Co-operative launches largest ethical shopping survey ever 04.09.07
The recently merged Co-operative Group and United Co-operatives is to question its 4 million members on the future of its ethical food policy. This is the largest poll of ethics ever undertaken in the UK and will guide the business's future responsible retailing strategy.
Following initial engagement with members, via focus groups and in-depth discussions, a comprehensive questionnaire has been produced in which members are asked to prioritise issues such as climate change, packaging reduction, healthy eating, food labelling, Fairtrade, animal welfare, sustainable sourcing and community support.
The Co-operative has previously undertaken dialogue to inform its policies – in both 1994 and 2004, 30,000 people were consulted in the groundbreaking Shopping with Attitude research. However, never before have members and customers been given a vote in such numbers.
Moreover, the 2007 poll will seek, for the first time, to recognise that sometimes issues develop and hard choices need to be faced.
For example, the drive to reduce "food miles" and reduce carbon dioxide could have real social impacts on third world growers as supply chains are redirected more locally; the push for packing reduction and light weighting could see retailers move from glass to PVC and create toxicity concerns.
In both instances, The Co-operative is asking members to consider the adoption of truly sustainable positions, and to not consider issues in isolation.
Peter Marks, Chief Executive, Co-operative Trading Group, said: "This consultation with our members reinforces our unique approach to responsible retailing.
"We are determined not to pursue lazy thinking, such as air plane logos on air-freighted produce, and instead take a more considered approach – one consistent with a business that was founded to tackle responsible retailing from the outset. Our members will help establish our ethical priorities for the next three to five years and will be a constant means of obtaining a mandate for our actions." Paul Monaghan, the Co-Op's head of ethics who designed the survey, speaking to the Guardian newspaper said, "The drive to reduce 'food miles' and reduce carbon dioxide could have real social impacts on third world growers as supply chains are redirected more locally," he said.
"The carbon produced by Kenyan roses is a fifth of that used to grow Dutch roses because of the heating and lighting."
"We will never do airplane logos. It is lazy thinking and it is dangerous," he said.
Mr Monaghan said: "There is a whole series of decisions like this which are being taken which are wrong because people aren't joining the issues up."
The Co-operative Group has a long tradition of ethical business practices across all of its businesses, including The Co-operative Bank and Co-operative Insurance, driven by the active involvement of member-customers. The Co-operative is regarded as the top ethical retailer in the UK, due to its pioneering credentials in areas such as Fairtrade and climate change. In 1992, the Co-op was the first supermarket to embrace Fairtrade by stocking Cafédirect and followed this in 2000 by introducing the UK's first Fairtrade bananas.
In terms of environmental initiatives, the Group led the switch to green electricity back in 1998 and its green credentials were further underlined last year when it became the first major retailer in the UK to switch all its mainland outlets to green electricity. In 2007, the Group's pioneering work on climate change saw it recognised as the winner of the Business Commitment to the Environment Awards, the Renewable Energy Awards and it was declared the UK's greenest high street retailer by the BBC's Money Programme.
The membership network across the Co-operative Movement will be involved in the food ethical policy consultation process. As well as the four million members of The Co-operative Group, several other co-operative societies are involving their members in the discussion.

Restaurant Week Winter 2013
Certainly not as easy as it once was when more restaurants were involved. There are still some excellent choices, though in some cases the price differential between RW and any other time is minimal. Good examples would be Riverpark with a $3 savings on the prix fixe and Nougatine with a $7 savings. I'm sure there are many others.
Now that I've had a chance to peruse the list and make some reservations, I'm quite pleased with what's available. I visit NYC annually in January and have been enjoying RW for five years. Since I only live in the city a month per year, my general approach is to use previous experience with restaurants, followed by Zagat food ratings (I don't care as much about atmosphere and average service is OK), followed by reviewing the menus. Too often, excellent restaurants have very uninspiring RW menus. In general, if I haven't been there and the food doesn't rate 25 or better on Zagat, I take a pass, with a few exceptions. Unfair perhaps, but one only has so much time. I also tend to take a pass on certain ethnic foods that I know I can do better on by simply hopping on the #7. I was able to make 11 reservations and hadn't even reach the "O's" yet. Maybe I'll have to work backwards next year. Anyways, I'll be happy to eat at Riverpark (twice), Nougatine, Cafe Boulud, Ouest, Carlyle, Circo, L'Ecole, Ai Fiori, Il Mulino and Ruth's Chris (they don't have one where I live, and we had a great lunch there last year).
I can't decide earlier, it seems all the good options deal with Lunch. Then when you go to dinner to spend $38 a person the menu choices seem sub par. For Example, why would I go to Sushi Samba for dinner when the savings are minimal. Tao seems great, but their usual lunch deal is better than what they offer on restaurant week. Then there is Strip House and 21 club. Strip house is only lunch and 21club has the same thing for lunch or dinner, why go for dinner and spend $15 more if it's the same?
Choices, and I can't decide.
To repeat my post on a similar thread:
A great RW dinner at Riverpark last Friday and another at Park Avenue Winter last night. Both had great options (Riverpark was the regular menu with surcharges for some items), generous portions, and excellent, unrushed service. Smart marketing geared to both developing new business AND encouraging people to return by offering a lovely dining experience. I will return to both.
Thanks for the report on Riverpark, City Kid. Going there on Friday. What dishes were you able to taste?
re: bruce3404
Hi Bruce, re. Riverpark: excellent mini baguettes; for a starter I had the fluke crudo and tartare; entree, the steamed branzino romanesco; dessert, panna cotta. Everything was delicious, regular, sizable portions, and service was first-rate. Very relaxed dining and lovely ambiance. I hope you enjoy it! BTW: none of the items I ordered had a surcharge.

A two-car highway accident in West Deptford late Wednesday evening has left an unidentified woman dead and led to the arrest of another driver for DWI, according to New Jersey State Police (NJSP).
The crash occurred at 11:24 p.m. near mile marker 22.6 on I-295 southbound.
Mohammad Khan, 21, of Cherry Hill, was driving a white Toyota Camry that ran into the rear of a white Hyundai Accent driven by 41-year-old David Hewitt of Carney's Point, police said.
An unidentified, 32-year-old woman who traveling in the Hyundai, was airlifted to Cooper Hospital, where she later died, according to police.
NJSP Sgt. Brian Polite cautioned that the information was "very preliminary."
Polite said the cause of the accident is as yet unknown and that the case is still under investigation. He could not comment on whether anyone else involved in the crash had been injured.
Khan was charged with driving while intoxicated.
West Deptford resident Tim Vedder, who lives near the high school, recorded video footage with his phone of first responders setting up a landing site for emergency helicopters.
"My youngest was up, so I said, 'let's go take a ride'," Vedder recalled. "Something happened bad. That noise was just way too loud."

'2012' nothing but morbid eye-candy
Roland Emmerich's 2012 warns us the end is near, but for this
158-minute disaster epic, the end can't come soon enough.
2012 is spectacular eye-candy, especially if you're keen on seeing landmarks blown to smithereens, but it's little more than a morbidly guilty pleasure, its thin plot stretched taut to connect one disaster sequence to another, ultimately failing under the weight.
But what sequences they are. Director Emmerich (Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow), still feeding his disaster fetish, has spared no expense this time around, delivering some of his best special effects to date, especially when seen on the big screen.
An erupting Yellowstone National Park is in-your-face explosive, a sinking Los Angeles is disturbing and eerie, and a fiery Honolulu resembles something out of Dante's Inferno. Make no doubt, the special effects are the stars in 2012, and, boy, do they shine. And explode. And explode again. And again. For almost three hours.
In between, there's some semblance of a story involving John Cusack (Better Off Dead, High Fidelity) as struggling and recently divorced author Jackson Curtis. While taking his kids camping in Yellowstone, Curtis learns from a wild-eyed pirate radio broadcaster (Woody Harrelson, Zombieland) that things aren't as they seem, that the world's governments have been concealing knowledge of a natural cataclysm that will mark the end of the world as we know it, and he feels fine.
Turns out there's some method to his madness, as geologist Adrian Helmsley (Chiwetel Ejiofor, American Gangster) learned in 2009 that solar flares have rendered the Earth's core unstable, which will inevitably result in a deadly shift of the planetary crust in 2012, coinciding with an alleged end-of-days prediction from the Mayan calendar.
Governments begin working together to build several "arks" that can spare only so many people from the destruction at hand, namely the billionaires who funded the project and generally rich yuppies with connections.
When Curtis learns of this, it's almost too late. As the world starts going to hell, he must race against time - and all logic - to rescue his family and find the arks.
The screenplay, written by Emmerich and 10,000 B.C. collaborator Harold Kloser, is packed with your typical Emmerich shtick - prolonged suspense (usually involving people running to catch up with something before it's too late), cliched dialogue ("We are one family"), a dog escaping almost certain death unscathed, and beat-you-over-the-head symbolism (the Sistine Chapel's ceiling cracks and separates the painted hand of God from that of man).
The tale is weak and predictable, filled to the brim with "Oh, come on!" moments and frustrated groans, and even its qualified actors struggle with the poor material, except for Harrelson, who revels in the silliness of it all.
Cusack is basically just there for the ride (and a paycheck), and Thandie Newton (Mission: Impossble II, Crash) rounds out the cast as a predictable love interest.
Danny Glover (Lethal Weapon, Be Kind Rewind) portrays a sympathetic U.S. president, but basically serves to validate comedian Dave Chappelle's theory that cinematic black presidents always preside over catastrophic scenarios, and Oliver Platt (The Impostors, Frost/Nixon) nonchalantly trudges through a cookie-cutter role as Glover's chief of staff.
Though visually dazzling,-- 2012 is a cookie-cutter movie, a doughy conglomerate of every disaster movie from the 20th century and the early aughts.
It's nothing original, but Emmerich has crafted a recipe that's sure to win over disaster movie fans, special effects buffs, and anyone who'll get a kick out of watching it after the year 2012 has come and gone.
2012, rated PG-13 for intense disaster sequences and some language, is playing at Regal Cinema 7 in Boone.

OBSERVE AND REPORT: Vols put a wrap on South Carolina practices
Tennessee survived physically against the two best teams in the country about as well as any team possibly could.
Mentally, the Vols don't appear to be shaken up too badly either.
UT has tried not to focus on the silver linings of productive outings in the first half against both LSU and Alabama or dwell on what happened after intermission of both games as it prepares for another test against No. 14 South Carolina, electing instead to keep its eyes forward and move on after two lopsided losses.
And while blowouts aren't typically a good way to build confidence, there still seems to be some for the Vols on the practice field as a group of young players see progress -- and a chance to perhaps pick up an upset at Neyland Stadium against a team that can relate to their own roster problems.
They also appear to be rallying around a quarterback change and trying to take as much pressure off Justin Worley as possible as the freshman makes his starting debut.
He, of course, features prominently in the offensive area of emphasis for the Vols this week. The others? Read on for more.
JUSTIN TIME: Derek Dooley, like most coaches, would prefer not to be starting a true freshman under center.
But the Vols coach is doing it for the second year in a row as he looks for Justin Worley to jumpstart an offense that has struggled since Tyler Bray went down with a broken thumb. That injury did coincide with the toughest two-week stretch imaginable for the Vols, though that doesn't seem to have influenced Dooley's decision much.
UT did praise Matt Simms over the last two games for his ability to check into the right plays, and as a senior, he brought experience and familiarity with the playbook with him to the line of scrimmage. By comparison, Worley hasn't thrown a pass, but he's been with the Vols since spring learning the plays, and there's no turning back now.
"We're not going to be able to do some of the things we do with Tyler, but we weren't really where we wanted to be even with Tyler," Dooley said. "There's a lot more stuff we could do with Matt in some areas, but not in other areas. There's a lot of stuff we can do with Tyler in some areas, not in others.
"I think it's the same way with Justin, but we're not going to dial it back to where it's so simple you don't have a chance. We're going to go out there, and he's been running these plays since January. He's got to go out there and execute."
SOPHOMORE SLUMP: Jacques Smith had his head held high as he met the media, showing no signs of disappointment after a practice this week or any of the frustration that has seemed to show up during a few games this season.
In fact, when compared to his body language after contributing to a long touchdown run earlier this month against Buffalo, Smith was positively beaming as he geared up for South Carolina.
But optimistic outlook or not, the Vols need more production from the sophomore defensive end going forward, particularly against a South Carolina offense that hasn't been lighting the world on fire. And his resolve and ability to move on from an outing without a tackle last week against Alabama will be put to the test by another quarterback with mobility in Connor Shaw.
"He got frustrated on one scramble, the guy got outside of him and he didn't make the tackle on that one, but that kind of stuff happens," defensive line coach Lance Thompson said. "Hell, Alabama is a good football team, they've got good players. That's going to happen.
"But Jacques has a tremendous attitude, he's got a great work ethic and he's going to be a good player."
PALARDY PARTY: If Michael Palardy's confidence had been affected early in the season, the Vols gave him every opportunity to shake off his struggles against Alabama.
He drilled a career-long field goal from 52 yards, the longest at UT since 1995. He handled the punts and kickoffs without incident. The sophomore even executed a fake with a pinpoint pass for a first down.
That ultimately didn't make much of a difference as the score got out of hand against the Crimson Tide, but those plays on special teams could be a big factor in close games as the season and his career progresses.
"That was good to see," special teams coordinator Eric Russell said. "I think he needed it, and I hope it's something he builds off of if there are any confidence issues or anything in his mind. He can go and say he went into one of the most hostile places against one of the best teams he'll play this year, one of the best teams in America obviously, and performed like he was supposed to with all the accolades coming in.
"I hope it's something he builds off of."

Mini KDE for a Lightweight Desktop
First of all, I cleaned up my computer running Fedora Core 3. Partly, this was done to make some extra room, but the main reason was to build the packages in a clean environment. After some checking and thinking, I removed the following packages, which I originally had installed from Fedora Core or KDE/Red Hat repositories: kdeedu, kdeartwork, KOffice, kdesdk, kdevelop, kdepim, kde, kdebase, kdelibs and kdelibs-devel.
Here's the other reason to perform such trimming exercises: you can learn a lot about how packages relate to one another. Specifically, you discover unneeded dependencies and packaging errors that remain hidden when distributions simply bundle software together without paying attention. For example, I learned that, at least on Fedora, I couldn't remove redhat-menus-3.7.1-3.4.3.kde, because it is needed by apparently unrelated stuff, including htmlview, gnome-vfs, openoffice.org-1.1.2, Evolution, XMMS and Nautilus.
The same happened with arts, the modularized sound system for KDE, and its development complement, arts-devel. Users of older desktops certainly are able to survive, even when they have a sound card, without acoustic effects. However, those two packages are needed by many more applications, including gstreamer plugins, gnome-applets, Evolution and so on. Some of these dependencies do make sense once you find them, but others still make me wonder. In any case, there seems to be a lot of opportunities for space savings at this level.
After cleaning my hard disk, I installed the latest stable source RPMs of kdelibs, kdebase, kdepim and KOffice from apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/all/SRPMS.stable. When I started, they were:
I chose the KDE for Red Hat Project instead of official Fedora Core packages, because I find them more polished than the standard ones. They also usually offer newer versions of the packages.
When you install a source RPM, you get all of the source code in a .tar.bz2 archive and the instructions to build everything in a .spec file. Normally, to build the package, you need to issue only the command:
rpmbuild -ba <package_name>.spec
To reduce disk space, I basically did two things, both relatively simple even for nonprogrammers. The first was to massage the compile and installation options in the .spec files. For example, I compiled everything without sound, adding -without-arts to the configure section. When available, I also added similar options to ignore other multimedia libraries or support for devices such as cell phones and PDAs. Then, I commented out all the Require and BuildRequires directives that check whether libraries for audio, video and modern peripherals are available before starting the process. I also removed the Provides directives for all the binaries I left out. Finally, I commented out the instructions that pack into the binary RPM files that I had not compiled or didn't need.
My complete .spec files are available in the Mini KDE section of the RULE Web site.
The second and most important trick was to insert a proper inst-apps file inside each KDE source tarball. It turns out that the configure scripts of these programs have a section that more or less says something like this (from kdelibs):
ac_topsubdirs= if test -s $srcdir/inst-apps; then ac_topsubdirs="`cat $srcdir/inst-apps`" elif test -s $srcdir/subdirs; then ac_topsubdirs="`cat $srcdir/subdirs`" fi
$ac_topsubdirs is the list of all the subdirectories whose code must be compiled and installed. By default, this variable is loaded with everything written in the subdirs file. But, if you copy subdirs into inst-apps, remove from the latter all the unneeded items and then tar and compress everything again, only the applications you want are compiled. This also works when installing directly from source.
Generally speaking, to figure out what you could or could not remove from inst-apps, look at the README file in each subdirectory. The following is a short summary of what I did for each package.
I removed only the following items: arts, kdoctools, kate, libkscreensaver and doc. In the %configure section, I excluded xinerama, alsa and artsd support. I also commented out the Requires: arts directive, as well as those for jasper and openexr.

can you provide the mini kde
can you provide the mini kde binary files for download??
vexed by daemons
so we're talking about saving a few mb of diskspace here?
i'd love to know how to use a KDE app without the intractible 'lag' feeling which occurs on even modern machines, probably due to all the layers of abstraction built up ..first libc, then xlib, then qt, then kdelibs, then the app.. the feeling is similar to running OSX on my G3, and my G3 is a lot slower..
or how to use a KDE app without having to twiddle your thumbs for 30 seconds while waiting for a gravy-train of daemons to startup like kdeinit, kded, kcminit, klauncher, dcopserver, arts, ksmserver, knotify,etc.. it rains on the parade of otherwise-nice apps like konqueror or amarok in a dreadful way.
the problem seems to have been compounded with the move to 64bit, the sheer number of pointers means reading thru a hundred or two mb of libs which on a laptop hd is arduous torture at best.
its just funny to see apps written in "slow" scripting languages like TCL/Tk startup instantly and behave just as reponsively as those in "fast" C++, just due to the sheer number of abstractions that had to be built on top of C to be able to easily build usable/flexible apps like those of KDE..
So what do you recommend ..
So what do you recommend .. ???
Speedup KDE
Use Prelink it greatly speeds up KDE startup and application loading.
I use it and it halves the startup time.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Your reporters need to actually listen to the family and check your facts, write down the correct information. More then one of the facts in this artcle is wrong. It's frustrating when you read a nice article about your family and it's incorrect, and I know for a fact this family would tell you wrong information. Please print the right information next time.
I do agree construction has affected some of the local businesses BUT not what Front Porch claims. They have been getting complaints for the past year or so about their slow service and high prices. We have stopped going because of both of thoes reasons. The food is pretty good but we ALWAYS have a long wait for simple food and the prices are terriable! $50 for breakfast for 3 people is WAY too expensive. I would be surprised if they stay open much longer. We dont bring our business there anymore, we dont want to waste our time or money.

The Game Table has seen its last role of the dice at its Mineola location on Jericho Turnpike.
The brothers behind the local Mineola hobby and game shop – David and Duane VanderWerf – plan on starting fresh in Hicksville with a whole new deck.
David VanderWerf admits "it can be a tough business," but that's not why Mineola has lost the store.
"The lease was up," he said. "I needed a new space, on Friday night I was at capacity with 50 people. I had to turn business away."
So he moved the location to Hicksville. The new store, where he is a managing partner is named Game Master Games and located at 954 South Broadway in Hicksville. The new space can accommodate more customers and on Saturdays he runs up to four different card game tournaments simultaneously.
"Come by on Saturday to see the madness," David said. Last Saturday he had the tournament catered from his restaurant, Game Master Grill in Mineola. While the tournaments are every Saturday the catering is not.
For the 80-plus people last Saturday it seemed fitting with the atmosphere. The businessowners stated that they looked for spaces closer to Mineola and almost settled on a location in New Hyde Park but the deal fell through. The new location in Hicksville met all their criteria: parking, central air, heating and, most importantly, additional room, so everyone can come and play when they want to play.
Like the Game Master Grill restaurant, the VanderWerfs also have screenings of gaming related shows or movies. The retail space not only hosts card and board games but sells and teaches them as well.

The ineffable mastery of Duke Ellington ignites "Sophisticated Ladies," which sizzles its way across the Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center stage with enough energy for four shows. What this febrile Civic Light Opera of South Bay Cities revival of the Tony-nominated 1981 revue lacks in visual splendor, it makes up for in sheer entertainment.
Director-choreographer Cheryl Baxter pulls nightclub pyrotechnics out of the abstract concept. From the opening, as designer Christopher Beyries' Art Deco drape rises on musical director Steven Smith's first-rate band, to the curtain call reprise of "It Don't Mean a Thing," Baxter keeps the songbook swinging, and her cast of triple-threat talents attacks the material until you hope the fire marshal isn't present.

Tests your doctor might use
The diagnosis of AMD is usually made when an ophthalmologist or optometrist, examining a patient, sees abnormalities that suggest possible AMD.
These may be protein deposits on the retina, called drusen, or the presence of abnormal blood vessels or leakage. You will then be referred to a retinal specialist. In order to see more clearly what is taking place in the retina, the specialist may perform one or several photographic tests to see more clearly what is happening in your retina.

Turned out very good, although I made changes. Used mushrooms, red & green bell peppers and chopped onion, and didn't have turmeric so I used mustard powder (figured it might add a bit of yellow to make it look more like eggs), onion and garlic powders and a pinch of curry powder. Topped with fresh herbs and wrapped in a tortilla. Next time I think I will season and start cooking the tofu first, then add veggies because it took about 10 minutes to cook off the liquid and by then the peppers were cooked too much for my taste. So next time I'll saute the tofu for 5 minutes or so before adding the veggies.
I made some modifications to this recipe. First, I didn't put any cheese. I sauteed the tofu with diced green pepper and sliced mushrooms, and added the tomato in last. I also crumbled the tofu into the pan instead of "mashing" it, so it looked like scrambled eggs. It was a tad soupy. The vegans loved it, and I thought it was pretty good too.
This recipe is very similar to mine. There are many variations to scrambled tofu. Make sure you use firm or extra firm water packed tofu and not silken. Also, only use spoonful of chopped tomatoes or salsa. This dish tastes great with toast and salsa.

Sounds from the Stables: A history of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music
By Diane Collins, St Leonards: Allen and Unwin, 2001, 274 pages, hardback, $49.95. Reviewed by Joanna Besley in the June 2002 issue.
Help more readers find out about this article Slashdot
In the introduction to her engaging history of the Sydney Conservatorium, Diane Collins makes a thought-provoking statement: 'Music has been disgracefully neglected in most conventional histories of Australia' she declares, arguing that Australian historical scholarship is 'substantially diminished' by the neglect of 'aural history and culture'. This idea of aural history is intriguing -- what might this history be like and is this account, the first published history of Sydney's Conservatorium, a taste of the aural history that Collins advocates? More than just an historical account of the life of an institution, Sounds from the Stables skilfully captures how art music operates in the broad matrix of cultural life. Together with other relatively recent work such as Clinton Walker's uncovering of the history of indigenous country and western in Buried Country, Collins' work signals an attempt towards a sensate rendering of Australian history. The narrative relating the founding and growth of the Conservatorium -- never lacking in controversy -- is woven together with local, global, personal and political events and experiences. Any number of interesting facts arise. This was the only state-sponsored conservatorium in the British Empire for many decades, for instance, and the Conservatorium's first orchestra was also the first state-supported orchestra in the English-speaking world. However, facts are secondary to Collins' efforts in capturing the full assemblage of disparate parts that constitute the Conservatorium -- issues such as its relationship to its site, its building, the city and state it is part of, the experiences of students, staff and supporters as well as its links to the greater world of music in both an international and intensely local sense. The story is told chronologically and structured around the Conservatorium's succession of directors. Whole chapters are dedicated to the important figures of Henri Verbrugghen and Eugene Goossens whose terms as director not only captured the essence of life at the Conservatorium at the time, but also revealed much about Australian urban culture in their respective periods. It seems difficult to depict Verbrugghen's time as anything other than a golden age for the institution and this part of the book shimmers with optimism, reflecting the widespread esteem for Verbrugghen and his efforts as founding director. Goossens' contribution is assessed in a more measured way as Collins disentangles the forces of celebrity and scandal from the actuality of his decade in Sydney. She contextualises the fluctuating fortunes of Goossens and the nascent Australian cosmopolitanism he represented, by showing how the post-war Conservatorium struggled with modernism and issues of identity in a rapidly changing society. Throughout this chronology Collins destabilises perceptions of the Conservatorium relative to notions of popular and high culture. The boundaries between these categories are shown to have been constantly blurred, due largely to the economic realities of operating the institution and also to the evolving relationship between the institution and emerging broadcast technologies, new forms of music and performance and a variety of other popular cultural forms. From early on, the Conservatorium was preoccupied with promulgating what Collins calls 'true musical citizenship'. Hence its role was not only to train musicians but also to train the ear and musical perceptions of the public through a program of public concerts in a range of unexpected venues, country tours, high school and kindergarten visits, publications and, later, broadcasting. For many years, the instruction of keen amateurs was of equal importance to the development of professional musicians, and indeed there was almost a disinterest in 'gifted' students. The encouragement of the enjoyment of music, in the home as well as publicly, was a fundamental aspect of the Conservatorium's mission. The constant negotiation between this role and the training of professional musicians and music teachers has been a continuing tension in the life of the institution. Another important dimension of the book depicts the interior world and 'lived experience' of the Conservatorium. Although imaginatively written, this aspect shows how difficult it is to try to re-construct these stories 'from below' when primary sources are elusive. Without undertaking some sort of extensive oral history project or the like, the author must rely on a smattering of photographs, biographies and other sporadic publications to piece together an impressionistic account of what could in itself constitute a fascinating tale. Yet the book would be much the poorer without the descriptions of staff members' overseas travels or the snippets recounting how Isador Goodman, Professor of Piano by day, would play all night at jazz clubs in the company of 'hardened drinkers and SP bookies'. Indeed, the latter part of the book suffers from a lack of this sort of colourful detail as the historian's task becomes increasingly difficult in dealing with the more recent past. The institution has always been subject to the vagaries of the diverse expectations of the many people with a stake in both is operation and symbolic position. In more recent decades the particular circumstances of the Conservatorium's relationship to the state government and other institutions such as the ABC and the University of Sydney become increasingly fraught and dominate the tale. A specific intensity is brought by the 'ambiguous endowment' of the infamous Greenway building that is the Conservatorium. Collins vividly describes the power of the relationship between the institution, its building, its landscape setting and the city beyond. Controversy has been part of this relationship since it was first suggested that the Conservatorium occupy the site. By challenging the logic and orthodoxies of notions of 'heritage', Collins exposes the highly contested processes of both institutional and urban change and development. It seems that the very commissioning of this history by the Conservatorium is an attempt to understand this process of contestation and Collins has tackled the task with imagination and vitality. The story she tells has parallels with all institutions, especially those associated with the arts or university sectors. But does it truly resound, or can only music do that?

Raw Japan
Slices of Japanese business, politics and life
from Global News Journal:
Japan voters seek change, may get chaos
Five years ago, Japanese voters seeking change from stale politics and a stagnant economy backed maverick leader Junichiro Koizumi's calls for reform, handing his Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) a huge win in an election for parliament's powerful lower house.
Two years, several scandals and one incompetent prime minister later, they dealt the same LDP a stinging setback in a 2007 upper house election, creating a "Twisted Parliament" where the upper chamber could stall bills and delay policies.
The gridlock toppled the LDP's Shinzo Abe and his successor, each after about a year in office, and finally last summer the same electorate -- still longing for something new and better -- swept the novice Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) to power, ending more than half a century of almost non-stop LDP rule and ejecting Taro Aso from the PM's seat. The DPJ, voters hoped, would make good on promises to change how Japan was governed, ending bureaucratic control of policies, and somehow ensuring that Japan emerged from two decades of the doldrums.
Now, after less than a year of chaotic policymaking, indecisive leadership and more scandals under DPJ premier Yukio Hatoyama, followed by sudden talk of a sales tax hike from former grassroots activist Naoto Kan, who took over when Hatoyama suddenly quit, frustrated voters did it again.
Are Japan's rookie lawmakers being treated like kids?
Name tags on their chairs so their "teachers" can take attendance; instructions on how to greet their elders politely; orders to turn up on time.
Rookie lawmakers in Japan's ruling Democratic Party are, critics say, being treated like first-grade students instead of a talent pool the government can draw on to tackle tough policy problems from a bulging debt to strained ties with Washington.
Historic win in Japan. Now what?
Historic is usually a word that makes my skin crawl when I see it in the news. Journalists are prone to overuse it, so when I saw it in our election stories I had to stop myself deleting it — because this election truly is historic.
The Liberal Democratic Party had never lost an election since its founding in 1955. Even when it lost power for a few months in 1993/94, it was because of LDP lawmakers defecting rather than an election loss.
Watching the giants fall
Some elections count more than others, and never more than when a longstanding dominant party is sent packing. I've been lucky enough to witness turning points in four countries on two continents.
France, India, Italy, now Japan — all have rejected one-party dominance for the rough and tumble of alternating majorities. In each case, I was fortunate to behold history.
A storm brewing
I watched Japan's election returns from the rocky Pacific, with the satellite TV reception suprisingly crisp on a ferry heading south.
A typhoon is headed towards mainland Japan and travel and other ways of life have been caught up in its headwinds, while the impact of the apparently changing political climate has only just begun.
Elections, obstructions and duct tape
When you pack scores of journalists into a room and they're all trying to listen to, photograph, and film one person – like the head of a political party – it's easy to get blocked by the people and things in front of you.
For a photographer, this is the kiss of death. It means not getting a picture. Next, your phone rings with an angry editor on the other end - a brief conversation is followed by a lengthy period of woe and despair. For this and other reasons, photographers go to great lengths to get a good photo position.
Japan voters debate change
Japanese voters debated change as they participated in an election on Sunday that looks set to give the opposition Democratic Party of Japan a historic victory over the Liberal Democratic Party that has ruled for most of the past 50 years.
Reuters reporters fanned out across Tokyo to talk to voters, and here's what some of those at polling stations had to say:
Japan two-party system — long in arriving
Observers of Japanese politics who have long thought the country was ripe for a real two-party system are watching Sunday's election with a dual sense of incredulity — surprise that it has taken so long to oust the long-ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), and surprise that it finally looks like happening.
Media surveys show the decade-old opposition Democratic Party is set to win the poll for parliament's powerful lower house – and probably by a landslide, ushering in party leader Yukio Hatoyama at the head of a government pledged to spend more on consumers and workers than the companies that benefited most from LDP policies.
No Obama moment in Japan
Opinion polls show the opposition Democratic Party of Japan is set for a runaway victory in Sunday's general election, but voters are showing none of the enthusiasm that swept Barack Obama to the U.S. presidency last year.
When I talked to more than a dozen voters in a small town near Hiroshima, western Japan, they were interested in the election and had a lot to say about it. And most were looking for change — but not with a great deal of fervour.
Make mine a milk
Japan's far north, once home to pet projects of scions of the long-ruling Liberal Democratic Party, looks set to become an even hotter bed of opposition Democratic Party success in this weekend's Japanese election capped, if polls and analysts are correct, by a local son becoming the nation's next prime minister.
But while the country decides whether opposition leader Yukio Hatoyama will become premier, voters in Hokkaido will also decide the fate of a certain disgraced former finance, trade and farms minister who is battling for his political life.
