I need ideas for a Chocolate Themed garden
I would like to start a garden with chocolate theme(chocolate scent or chocolate in the name) for zone 9 Fl. can be shade or full sun.
There is chocolate cosmos, chocolate scented geraniums, chocolate mint(keep this contained), chocolate daisy, and chocolate streamer sweet peas. Of course I am in zone 5 and not sure which plants do well in your area. There is the chocolate flower farm nursery. I put the link below. I am sure you will get lots of ideas from them. They specialize in that. Hope you have fun with your garden~Heather
Here is a link that might be useful: Chocolate flower farm
I have a Chocolate Snakeroot. Beautiful perennial with green/brown leaves and pretty white flowers later in the Summer. I planted last year and it is coming back just as lovely.
Cute idea!

Five things we learned in Celtics' blowout loss in Houston
|11.01.14 at 10:27 pm ET
Brad Stevens' team arrived safely in Houston for Saturday night's tilt, but its game was misplaced. Everything that went well for the Celts in their runaway, season-opening win Wednesday night went wrong in a 104-90 loss to the Rockets.
In a nutshell, the Celtics weren't aggressive enough early on, and were remarkably bad from beyond the 3-point line. The C's went to the foul line 24 fewer times than the Rockets, while having the worst 3-point shooting night in franchise history.
With the 1-for-25 showing from beyond the 3-point stripe, it marked the first time in franchise history the Celtics have not hit a three while taking more than 10 attempts. Jeff Green hit his team's 22nd attempt. The NBA record still stands at 0-for-22, set by the Nuggets in 2012.
The closest the Celtics would come in the second half was 11 points. (For a complete box score, click here.)
It was easy to forget Rondo didn't play a single preseason game after watching him excel against the Nets. But in Game No. 2, the point guard seemed out of sorts from the start.
Before exiting the game for the first time, with the Celtics trailing, 22-8, Rondo had trouble both offensively and defensively (where he was often lost on rotations after double-teaming Dwight Howard). He would re-enter the game with the C's still trailing by 14 (32-18), continuing to lack any sort of spark.
Rondo finished the first half going 0-for-2 from the field. For the game, the point guard went 2-for-9 from the floor, but did haul in 10 rebounds.
There was a reason the Celtics attempted just three first-half free throws, while the Rockets were going to the line 24 times: the C's weren't exactly taking it at the hosts.
The missed jumpers, particularly in the first quarter, were especially damaging considering how Houston was able to transition into makable shots (shooting 57 percent from the field in the initial quarter, leading to a 15-point Celtics deficit). The Celtics started going inside more in the second quarter, but the hole had already been dug.
The most noticeable aspect of the Celtics' reliance on their outside game came from beyond the 3-point line, where they turned in a historically bad performance.
Stevens attempted to rotate the trio of Jared Sullinger, Kelly Olynyk and Tyler Zeller on Howard. That strategy, however, ran into some issues with all three carrying three fouls into halftime. The trio finished with five fouls apiece.
The unevenness at the position also translated to a dramatic 180 for Olynyk from Wednesday night, when he totaled 18 points. This time the second-year big man couldn't find a comfort zone, finishing with eight points in 15 minutes.
Howard only finished with 14 points and eight rebounds, but his presence allowed for the likes of James Harden (26 points) to get in the clear.
So much was made of the performance of the rookie in Game 1, with Smart contributing on multiple levels against Brooklyn.
This time, however, he couldn't supply any help for a Celtics team desperate for some aggressiveness. Smart went 0-for-7 from the field
The Celtics failed to go 2-0 once again, not having accomplished the feat since 2009.
Kevin Garnett, Rajon Rondo and a shared love for Gino
|10.30.14 at 9:09 am ET
There was a different feel to this Kevin Garnett homecoming than the first. No longer paired with Paul Pierce on the Nets, he received a standing ovation from Celtics fans and a smattering of "KG" chants during Brooklyn's pregame announcements in the Garden, but nothing like the catharsis in January.
Still, the love is there, as it always will be in Boston, and the feeling is mutual.
"It's always special to come back to Beantown," Garnett said after a 121-105 loss. "Hearing the little things, it's very hard to focus. I had to go to yoga this morning, ooh-sah, get my meditation right, stay level. A lot of energy in the building. It's always great to come back here. I love Beantown. I'm always bleeding green. Y'all know what it is."
Garnett finished with 10 points, six rebounds and three assists in 23 minutes, but old friend Rajon Rondo won the night, amassing 13 points, 12 assists and seven boards in 30 minutes. "Rondo was classic," added Garnett. "I don't know what he said he was at — 89, 83 percent? That was a hell of an 83 percent."
Rondo returned the favor.
"It was special again going against KG," he said. "He's like my big brother. He hit me a couple times on the pick, but he didn't hit me as hard as he was hitting Avery [Bradley]. He nails guys on the pick, and I'm used to him nailing guys for me. It's always great to play against the guy, especially since it's his 20th year."
Garnett begrudgingly paid respect to another old friend he would've rather not seen: Gino. So often staring at the Jumbotron, disco dancing in Celtics sweats at the end of blowout wins from 2007-13, Garnett retreated to Brooklyn's huddle and didn't even glimpse at the long-haired man who brought him so much joy.
Why you should care about Wednesday's Celtics win: Rajon Rondo's spectacular return, Marcus Smart's debut
|10.29.14 at 10:22 pm ET
The Celtics hosted the Nets on an opening night where it seemed nothing could go wrong for the home team at TD Garden.
First the C's took a 26-point lead into halftime, then they dropped 101 points by end of the third quarter thanks to a Kelly Olynyk buzzer-beater.
In the end, the Celtics played extremely well as a whole, winning 121-105 while shooting an insane 55.7 percent from the field for the game (Click here for the box score). And it was Rajon Rondo who gave them the shot in the arm that they really needed, not missing any games after breaking a bone in his left hand just 33 days ago.
Rondo dazzled in his return
Rondo returned to action just shy of five weeks after having surgery to repair a broken bone in his left hand and was better than ever. Wearing protective padding over his injured hand, Rondo posted a near triple-double in his first game action since April, finishing with 13 points (6-for-9 from the field), 12 assists and seven rebounds in just under 30 minutes of action.
Brad Stevens said prior to the game that there is no minute restriction on his star point guard, but he will open up the season playing in these types of short "stints" followed by even shorter rests.
"I thought he played great," Stevens said of Rondo after the win. "I probably played him in the second half too long of stints for what I wanted to at one time, but I actually thought one of the best parts of the game for us was the fact that we went to the bench and we just kept going. And the bench made such a great contribution, and Rondo just kind of fit in seamlessly."
Rajon Rondo to play and start on opening night vs. Nets
|10.29.14 at 6:09 pm ET
He's been giving us updates on himself all week, from 79 percent on Monday to 83 percent on Tuesday, but now Brad Stevens has made it official. Rajon Rondo will play in the Celtics' first game of the season on Wednesday night just 33 days after surgery to repair a broken bone in his left hand.
Stevens was straight to the point when asked if Rondo would play and if he would start, simply responding, "Yes," to both questions.
Then Stevens was asked if Rondo would have a minutes restriction: "No," said the coach. 'The way that I've looked at it is that I might play him in shorter stints, but no minute restrictions. And then, you know, it will be about how he plays after that, it really is his first preseason game as well for him."
Stevens also went on to say that Rondo will receive shorter rest than he did last year in between his playing stints.
Rondo's presence means that rookie Marcus Smart will be demoted to coming off the bench. Meanwhile, Rondo will start alongside Avery Bradley, Jeff Green, Kelly Olynyk and Jared Sullinger.
Asset Management: Rajon Rondo's Celtics future
|10.29.14 at 12:34 pm ET
I think we can all agree the Celtics won't be raising banner 18 in the immediate future, and more likely than not the 2014-15 NBA season will result in another lottery pick come June, regardless of how ardently Rajon Rondo, Avery Bradley & Co. argue the contrary. It's been a year since Danny Ainge traded Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett to the Nets, launching the process of stockpiling draft picks and cap-friendly contracts. Since the Celtics failed to cash in those commodities in exchange for fireworks this summer, this season's preview will have a Wyc Grousbeck theme, focusing on the hodgepodge of C's pieces in a series we'll call Asset Management. Next up: Rajon Rondo.
There's no point arguing about whether Rajon Rondo is a great player any longer. He's capable of things on a basketball court previously reserved only for Oscar Robertson and Magic Johnson, and that's all I'll ever need to know.
We haven't seen Rondo at full strength since Jan. 25, 2013, when he dropped a 16-10-11 triple-double and played the final 12 minutes of a double-overtime loss to the Hawks on a torn ACL. How anyone hates on him is beyond me.
Playing at 87 percent health or whatever weird number he assigned to his rehabbed right knee last season, Rondo still averaged 11.7 points, 9.8 assists, 5.5 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 33.3 minutes over 30 games. You know who else achieved those averages in 2013-14? Nobody. Not Kevin Durant. Not LeBron James. Not Stephen Curry. Not Chris Paul. Nobody.
Rondo is one of the most extraordinary players in the NBA, if not the league's strangest bird, and it's good to have him back. The broken metatarsal in his left hand will prevent Rondo from reaching 100 percent for a week or two, but he'll be collecting triple-doubles before we know it, ascending everbody's player rankings all year.
Tom Brady goes all Rajon Rondo in wishing Celtics 'good luck' this season
|10.29.14 at 12:13 pm ET
FOXBORO — Tom Brady is at it again on Facebook.
On Wednesday, his page posted a photoshopped image of him from his childhood holding an old-school Voit basketball. The photoshopped part was the Rajon Rondo-esque headband.
Brady appears a bit chubby in the photo but with an endearing smile.
The post wishes the Celtics "good luck this season."
Asset Management: Dwight Powell's Celtics future
|10.29.14 at 9:58 am ET
I think we can all agree the Celtics won't be raising banner 18 in the immediate future, and more likely than not the 2014-15 NBA season will result in another lottery pick come June, regardless of how ardently Rajon Rondo, Avery Bradley & Co. argue the contrary. It's been a year since Danny Ainge traded Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett to the Nets, launching the process of stockpiling draft picks and cap-friendly contracts. Since the Celtics failed to cash in those commodities in exchange for fireworks this summer, this season's preview will have a Wyc Grousbeck theme, focusing on the hodgepodge of C's pieces in a series we'll call Asset Management. Next up: Dwight Powell.
Other than looking a lot like Daniel Tosh, what else do you know about Dwight Powell? We'll still be here when you get back from that interwebs search.
The Celtics have quietly stockpiled high-character, high-IQ players in the Brad Stevens era — through the draft (Marcus Smart) and the trade market (Tyler Zeller) — and Powell certainly fits that mold. The Pac-12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year as a senior at Stanford this past winter, he brings fundamental defense, sound shooting mechanics and deft passing to Boston.
Powell also brings a 6-foot-11, 240-pound frame to go along with impressive averages of 25.8 points, 12.6 rebounds and 5.7 assists per 100 college possessions. And yet the former top-25 high school recruit dropped to the 45th pick in this past June's NBA draft and has since been traded twice — in packages for a pair of since released players (Scotty Hopson and Keith Bogans).
That's because, according to DraftExpress, as a senior he lacked toughness on the boards, couldn't consistently knock down jump shots and didn't protect the rim, even if he earned another First Team All-Pac-12 selection. Powell showed more promise as a junior, when he logged a respectable 54.2 true shooting percentage, grabbed 24.0 percent of available defensive boards and submitted a 23.3 player efficiency rating a few months after his mother (living in Melrose, Mass.) died of cancer. Talk about toughness.

Calif. Man Arrested For ESPN Post On Killing Kids 416
from the just-a-suggestion-really dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
I like the part where neither the summary or the article actually shows us exactly what he said so that we can judge its seriousness for ourselves.
Wasn't that the whole point of patriot act though?
So government officials can arrest and detain anyone they want without any probable cause or due process? Makes it easier to pick out the dissidents stirring up any trouble for the shepherds.
Which would be an excellent defense. Having a good defense will not prevent you from being arrested, if it is really good though you might avoid even being charged.
The DA will decide if they charge him or not, the police are just doing their jobs.
This is a huge problem in the US - our first responders are not well trained in handling people in emotional distress or who are mentally ill. Even medical first responders tend to be extremely ill equipped to handle this. Often by their ham-handed approach to things they make a situation much, much worse than it needs to be.
There are efforts to train LEOs and other first responders, but the problem is that by and large, the qualities that police forces look for when hiring officers do not tend to mesh well with the qualities ideal for working well with the mentally ill.
It's a horrible situation, and one that keeps on getting made worse in the US because politicians want to be seen as tough on crime to satisfy a bloodthirsty population out for revenge and punishment rather than rehabilitation and prevention.
And who decides what a "terrorist threat" is? How do we know he wasn't being sarcastic?
A lot of shit gets said on the internet and in real life.
And notice nowhere is the actual quote of what he said posted...
Here are some context quotes by other people though:
firstname.lastname@example.com writes: "Some kid will get killed if he wears one of these in the hood. I'll guarantee that!"
Buzz1158 asks: "When will the first kid be killed for a pair?"
So if he responds to that in a way that says he's "watching kids and did not mind murdering them" then that's not tongue-in-cheek?
Uhhh...his bail is set HIGHER than for people that have CORPSES listed among the evidence okay? Now you want to investigate this guy cool, after the whole thing with the DK Rises i can see erring on the side of caution.
But setting his bail higher than serial rapists, bank robbers, and actual "here is the corpses" murderers? i'm sorry but that is off the rails. Spin it however you want that is using bail for political purposes and is wrong.
Sigmund Freud is alleged to have said that in the last analysis the entire field of psychology may reduce to biological electrochemistry.

IF YOUR COMMENT DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE RULES then I will let you know, I promise. You will have a chance to fix it if it's a big deal. But if I find out you're just cheating, I'll have to Hide your Comment so your artwork won't be Featured here anymore. You have been warned.
If you understand the rules above, let's get started on the game. I will post mine first as an example as we get the ball rolling.

The Space
Come and experiment the genuine Algarve lifestyle! This apartment is situated in a traditional house in the center of Tavira, near the ferry boat that take you to the beach Ilha de Tavira (Tavira's island). It is also near by two supermarkets and the market (where you can by some fresh fish and vegetables). If you don't want to cook in holidays, and you prefer to go to restaurants, here you have a lot of choices 5 minutes walking from the house!
Everything is nearby, so you don´t need a car. But you can rent a bike or take a taxi to see other places out of Tavira (like Cabanas de Tavira and Santa Luzia).
Since you are in down town, you can see the cultural lifestyle in Tavira by night. In the summer time there are a lot of events in "Jardim do Coreto" (7 minutes walking), or you can go to see some shows on live in bars.
To come to Tavira you need to take a plane to Faro then the train, bus or a taxi. Tavira are at 30 km (around 30 minutes) distance from Faro.
This apartment is decorated with good taste and has all the comfort you need, so you will feel like you found your special home! :-)
You get a nice, clean and tidy house when you come, and you also have air conditioning in the rooms.
One room it is a suite (bedroom and bathroom) and the other has 2 singles beds and a toilet nearby. Family with children over ten years old are welcomed.
In Cosy Home you have also a little terrace with plants, a table, two chairs and an umbrella to protect you on sunny days. But if you prefer, you can eat inside the apartment, in the kitchen or in the dinning room you will have a table and 4 seats.
Tavira is a lovely city, and provides you entertainment, specially on summer nights. But in the Cozy Home you will rest like an angel, because the only "noise" you could hear, are the birds singing in the morning :)
If you have any question, let me know!
I hope to see you soon in Tavira! :)

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour à Tavira.

appartement idéalement situé dans Tavira. Susanna très disponible pour régler questions ponctuelles .petit bémol ,le chauffage/clim bruyant,les compresseur sont dans la courette devant la chambre , et du coup on ne peut pas y prendre de petit déjeuner .Sinon,nonne literie et appartement cosy.à recommander
Es la segunda vez que me alojo en casa de Susana y nuevamente estupendo. Encantada de haber repetido la experiencia de alojarme allí
Es un hogar, más que una casa de alquiler. Me siento como en mi propia casa.
Nos atendieron su tía y su madre. Son dos señoras muy educadas y encantadoras, que facilitan al máximo la estancia.
Me sentí como en mi propia casa.

No pude conocer a Susana, nos atendieron su tía y su madre, dos señores encantadoras y muy educadas.
Fueron muy amables y serviciales.
Mi puntuación es de un 10.
We didn't meet Susana but we had several friendly and useful messages from her. The house was just as described and was clean, tidy and comfortable. The location was great and Tavira is delightful.
I stayed at this apartment in September with a friend and we both had a wonderful experience. The rooms were perfect and the entire flat was in pristine condition. I didn't use the TV (didn't need to) and the wi-fi worked very well. The kitchen and bathroom were great there were not any issues at all. It was very quiet and comfortable, I particularly liked the cute outdoor patio where it was perfect for breakfast. The location was great and was in easy walking distance (5-8 min) to get a boat to Tavira island. Plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. The bus station was less than 10 min walk which allowed me to get to Faro and other areas with ease. Tavira was a lovely town and the apartment was just superb, could not fault anything. Susana was a lovely host and extremely helpful, she was very kind in giving lots of suggestions of places to go and very quick to respond to any of my questions. She even let my friend have a late check out time as his flight was in the evening. I would highly recommend this place to friends or family.
We had a great stay in Susanas appartement. The appartement was very clean and well equipped and situated very central. We did not meet Susana but we had a very good communication with her on mail and text-message. We hope to come back

I like to make new friends, to learn about new cultures and lifestyles. I love to travel, so every year I want to go to a different country or a new place. I also like to read, to see films and do exercise. As a host, I am a friendly person, and I will give you all the trip information's you want, so you can have a great hollidays. If you wish to rent a room in Lisbon or my Tavira's apartment, contact me!
Hope to meet you here in Portugal! :-)

Our annual bonfire and radar run on Saturday was a great success! This year we also offered side by side racing with a full timing system just like the pros. Mother Nature cooperated with a beautiful day and great trail conditions. This was the first year we raffled a new Ski Doo MXZ. We sold only 500 tickets and would like to thank everyone that supported our club. Please watch the video below of the drawing!

What a croc! Scientists discover supersized reptile
Paleontologists announced the prehistoric find this week.
Paleontologist Paul Sereno's latest find might send even the unflappable Crocodile Dundee sprinting for Ayers Rock.
It's dubbed SuperCroc - a 110-million-year-old beast that ruled a deep, wide river running through what is now the African country of Niger.
The croc, formally known as Sarcosuchus imperatur, stretched 40 feet long, tipped the scales at about 8 tons, and regularly dined on dinosaurs. The crocodile hosts a large bony growth the size of a toilet bowl on the end of its snout - a feature that could have played a role in communication or been part of a hypersensitive nose for sniffing out prey.
The enigmatic creature remains "one of the greatest crocodiles the world has ever seen," says Dr. Sereno, whose team has been working in the region for the past decade to answer riddles posed by bits and pieces of SuperCroc that others had found since the early 1950s.
During SuperCroc's heyday, the continents of Africa and South America were still joined at the geophysical hip. The fossils come from a formation in a remote section of the Ténéré Desert that sits atop an ancient rift valley - a zone where the crust tried, but failed, to split in two under the stress of the continents' separation. The valley hosted an expansive river that, as years passed, covered and preserved the creatures who died in and along it in layers of silt.
Unlike many early crocodiles during this period, which were ocean-going, SuperCroc inhabited fresh water, Sereno says. Based on the size, shape, and orientation of teeth and jaws, SuperCroc's salt-water compatriots dined exclusively on seafood. SuperCroc's jaw and teeth arrangement, however, is more suited to puncturing and crushing a wider variety of prey.

If you mean, how much market share did they take from console game producers due to a market advantange, then your statement makes sense. Or, if you asked how much higher energy prices took out of the gaming market, that would make sense.
I have no idea how widespread this is (I don't play WoW myself), but that's how I interpret the question, and I think it makes a valid point.
I keep trying to decide... do you work for General Motors or the Federal Government?
For example, lets say halfway through the quarter EA realizes its R&D costs are way too high and that their profits will be lower because of it. If investors are all jazzed about profit/loss, they could fire their work force or stop R&D in order to show a profit.
It's a relatively meaningless number unless, as was stated, it is a long trend of losses or it was completely unexpected (and without a decent explanation).
How so? They make crappy games, they aren't making money and their employees hate them enough to sue. What could possibly qualify them as a "great" company? EA has absorbed some great companies (Westwood, Bullfrog, etc) but they didn't rub off.I'm sure EA's still a great company...

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
10 Mar 2006 20:06 GMT
Ramsey Clark, a former US attorney general, also complained that the former leader could not receive a fair trial in such a climate of fear.
"There are few facts that could greater inflame passions and divide irreconcilably the people of Iraq than a conviction and severe punishment, especially execution, of President Saddam Hussein," Clark said.
Speaking to Reuters in Jordan before flying to Baghdad for the resumption of the five-month-old trial on Sunday, he said the proceedings had stirred up hatred between Iraq's communities, pushing Sunnis and Shi'ites closer to civil war.
"It creates sectarian passions that destroy rationality and reason and the search for truth," said Clark, an outspoken critic of the United States for organising the trial.
Saddam and seven others are being tried for crimes against humanity in connection with the deaths of 148 Shi'ite men from the village of Dujail following a failed attempt on Saddam's life there in 1982.
'Climate of fear'
Saddam and seven others are tried for crimes against humanity
Two of Clark's colleagues on the defence team were shot dead after the trial began in October. Clark has walked out of the proceedings several times to protest against the behaviour of the judges and the chief prosecutor.
The Shi'ite- and Kurdish-led interim government has urged a rapid conviction and hanging for Saddam, whose Sunni-dominated administration frequently oppressed both those communities.
"He owes it as president that he should take responsibility"
Ramsey Clark, Saddam Hussein's American lawyer
A US official involved with the court called that a "damning admission" after testimony over the previous months from witnesses who recounted tales of torture, but gave little evidence directly linking Saddam to the men's deaths.
Clark said that documents presented by the prosecution showing Saddam's signature on 1980s trial papers reinforced the defence argument that a proper judicial process was followed.
"He owes it as president that he should take responsibility," Clark said of Saddam's admission. The former leader himself told the court on 1 March: "Where is the crime?"
Practical difficulties
Saddam's lawyers suspect chief judge Abdel-Rahman's nuetrality
"It was at a time of war and involved loyalty to the enemy with people who were Iraqi supporting Iran," he said.
He complained of practical difficulties in preparing the defence case: "You have to go to the scene before you ever try to cross-examine a witness," he said. "How can we go to Dujail right now? We couldn't survive. We have to have protection."
Clark said he was still seeking to have the chief judge removed because of suspicions of bias stemming from his origins in the Kurdish town of Halabja, scene of a gas attack in 1988 that will feature in a likely future trial.

Veteran Costume Designer Jane Greenwood to Receive Lifetime Achievement Tony Award
NEW YORK – After a distinguished theater career spanning more than 50 years, including 17 Tony Award nominations and zero wins, Jane Greenwood has long been the Susan Lucci of the Broadway kudos ceremony. But that situation will be redressed this year when the veteran costume designer is presented with the 2014 Special Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Theater.
Greenwood has designed costumes for more than 125 Broadway productions, starting in 1963 with The Ballad of the Sad Cafe, and continuing through to the current season. Her work was seen in the fall in the Chekhovian drama The Snow Geese, and in Act One (pictured below), the stage adaptation of Moss Hart's classic show-biz memoir, which is now in previews and officially opens on April 17.
She has worked frequently with Broadway's major nonprofit companies, Lincoln Center Theater, Manhattan Theatre Club and Roundabout Theatre Company, as well as with a long list of commercial productions, on both plays and musicals.
Known for her artisanal attention to detail and her stylish, character-based take on both period-wear and contemporary clothing, Greenwood received Tony nominations for the 1995 revival of The Heiress with Cherry Jones; A Delicate Balance in 1996, with Rosemary Harris and Elaine Stritch; Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? in 2005 with Kathleen Turner and Bill Irwin; and Waiting for Godot in 2009, which again starred Irwin, opposite Nathan Lane, John Goodman and John Glover.
Other recent Broadway credits for Greenwood include Driving Miss Daisy, with Vanessa Redgrave and James Earl Jones (2010); A View From the Bridge, with Liev Schreiber and Scarlett Johansson (2010); That Championship Season, with Keifer Sutherland, Jason Patric and Chris Noth (2011); The House of Blue Leaves, with Ben Stiller, Edie Falco and Jennifer Jason Leigh (2011); Harvey, with Jim Parsons (2012); and The Assembled Parties, with Jessica Hecht and Judith Light (2013).
Over the years, Greenwood has created costumes for an astonishing number of major stage and screen names, many of them now gone. She dressed Richard Burton in Hamlet (1964), Ingrid Bergman in More Stately Mansions (1967) and The Constant Wife (1975), Zoe Caldwell in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (1967), Medea (1982) and Master Class (1995), Colleen Dewhurst and Jason Robards in A Moon for the Misbegotten (1973), Liv Ullmann in Anna Christie (1977), Rex Harrison and Elizabeth Ashley in Caesar and Cleopatra (1977), James Mason in Faith Healer (1979), Anne Bancroft in Duet for One (1981), Katharine Hepburn in The West Side Waltz (1981), Alec Baldwin and Jessica Lange in A Streetcar Named Desire (1992), Helen Mirren in A Month in the Country (1995), Alan Bates and Frank Langella in Fortune's Fool (2002) and Al Pacino in Salome (2003).
Greenwood also has worked across other arts fields, including opera, dance, television and film. Her screen costume credits range from the 1980 camp-classic Village People vehicle, Can't Stop the Music, through the original 1981 Arthur, with Dudley Moore and Liza Minnelli, to the testosterone-fueled 1992 film adaptation of David Mamet's Glengarry Glen Ross, with Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Baldwin and Kevin Spacey.
Born in Liverpool, England, Greenwood has frequently returned to work in the U.K., winning an Olivier Award for her costumes on the 1995 musical production She Loves Me. She also teaches costume design at Yale School of Drama.
Tony nominations in the competitive categories will be announced April 29 by Lucy Liu and Jonathan Groff. The awards ceremony, hosted by Hugh Jackman, will be broadcast live on CBS from Radio City Music Hall on June 8.

We've just unboxed our Google Android Wear. We're not appy
Re: Paid apps tied to specific devices?
I think the issue is a little less than that. I believe the app is encrypted to the device that downloads it when the download takes place in order to prevent someone downloading and redistributing the apk. You can download it to all your devices from the store without issue, but you can't sideload it from one device to another.
The problem here seems to be that this is exactly what the Wear devices are doing. The phone sends the apk to the Wear device over bluetooth rather than the Wear device downloading the app directly. The apk is encrypted to the phone's device ID, the Wear device has a different ID, the install fails. If the Wear device could download the app directly it wouldn't be a problem, but unless I'm seriously mistaken, it can't do that.

Re: Why did it take them so long to start
They expend those millions looking for the craft so that they can determine what exactly brought the plane down. You can say pilot error was "most likely" but you can't know that's what brought it down.
There are plenty of instances in which pilot error was assumed to be the cause of a plan crash, only for the subsequent investigation to discover extremely dangerous flaws in the aircraft design, or in operating procedures, or flight operation manuals, or any number of other things.
The possibility that there are planes flying around with potentially fatal design flaws is why they keep looking until all options are exhausted.
Even if it turns out to be pilot error, the money wasn't wasted. They can then understand why the pilots made their mistakes and mitigate that in future with improved training.

Re: Compensation?
Ok, late as it is, I'm going to explain this to my downvoter because apparently they don't understand money.
There is a pool of tax money extracted from the general population, corporations and so on, from which a small amount is taken to pay for this service. That money is taken and paid no matter what.
Assume Google don't offer to pay directly. The tax money - which includes taxes that Google paid already - is used to pay for the costs of this excursion. Google theoretically pays indirectly for the outcome.
Now we take the reality: google offer to pay directly. Their money pays directly for the whole thing. Lets assume they then write it off at 100%. In this scenario the amount of money sloshing around hasn't changed. All that has changed is that google directly pays the emergency services rather than paying that money into the general tax pool, from which the services are subsequently paid.
Either way, google pays.
The only way to see this as a net loss is to assume that the government deserves the tax money that google hypothetically wrote off, which is such a bloody stupid assumption that I don't even know where to begin.
Re: Compensation?
Google. Google are paying for it.

Re: The man is correct
Of course learning Latin in particular sets a pretty good foundation for learning most of the Romance languages. My wife studied Latin to the Swedish equivalent of sixth-form level, and now she tells me that her perception of the Romance languages is as essentially dialects of Latin, which makes it pretty easy for her to switch between them in conversations. It's quite scary when she does.
It also sets a very solid foundation for general language skills, even if does sometimes lead to needless pedantry about the splitting of infinitives...
Or, to look at it another way, your objection to learning programming to GCSE level could also easily apply to the other core subjects. Not everyone needs to learn French. Not everyone needs to learn chemistry. Not everyone needs to learn physics. They do anyway, because it's a general education. Specialisation happens afterwards.

Based on what I've read, Uber drivers do the former.

Ah but the thing is, when you're writing you don't want to be distracted by petty things like spelling and grammar. That's something you worry about when you're editing afterwards (before you send it to the editor for ritual dismemberment).
Writing and editing are fundamentally different modes of thought. When you're writing you don't want to be interrupted, and the squiggly red lines and things are all distractions that interrupt the flow of your thoughts.

Oracle vs Google redux: Appeals court says APIs CAN TOO be copyrighted
Re: Copyrights protection for real code vs patents of trivial ideas - what is more evil?
The difference there was that Microsoft licensed the java trademarks and IP to create their own VM with the Java name attached to it. They were contractually obliged to implement the full spec. When they didn't implement the spec properly and left it broken, they were in breach of that contract, and Sun sued over improper use of trademarks and copyrights for the actual substance of the machine.
Not the API.
Google didn't enter a license agreement with Sun/Oracle. Instead they created their own Virtual Machine called Dalvik, which implements a subset of the Java API. They don't use the Java trademarks.
In Microsoft's case, they breached contract. In Google's case there was no contract to breach. The situation isn't even remotely comparable.
