This is quite interesting–and referring to the youthful recordings, I bought a vinly lp in Russia in 1987 of a very young Lorin Maazel conducting a very young Vladimir Ashkenazy with Tschaikowsky's First Piano Concerto. The young Vladimir's sound was warm, spacious and beautiful.
What strikes me in the article is that there was indeed $$ to record these talented conductors when they were young–with today's high prices to record, we are prohibited from possible recordings of musicians in their youth to serve as a legacy for tomorrow.

Thank you AntoniaJames for a wonderful review! I will definitely try the combinations you suggested. And most of all, I thank you for being thoughtful and responsible, unlike susan g, who did not send her notes in time last week, and this week ElizabethQ did not test my recipe at all, although I gave her all the necessary instructions. Because of them I lost two Community Picks. Thanks' again, AntoniaJames!!!

When I went to check ingredients for Foie Gras au Gros Sel I got the dreaded chocolate baugette.
about 2 years ago cristinasciarra
Oh no! I understand the frustration of the chocolate baguette all too well!
The ingredients are simple: 1 "fat" duck or goose liver (from the butcher or dartagnan.com); large-grain sea salt; black pepper and ¼ cup Cognac or Armagnac.
I promise it's worth it!

Thanks Cristina! The recipe appears to be loading fine now -- sorry for the blank page issues this week. We've been looking into it and think we found the cause, and will hopefully be fixed as soon as a big traffic surge on the site dies down.

Bright Korean Crepinettes, please. Does anyone know where to get caul fat or a decent substitute?
about 2 years ago Mosaica
A real butcher shop should be able to help. If you're close to VT I'll gladly give you some :-) If you can't find, there's really not a substitute per se, but you could wrap them in very very very thinly sliced bacon and roast them that way; it would be a little different and quite possibly even more delicious. Thanks for trying these :-)

Update, Mosaica... Dicksons Meat in Chelsea Mkt provided me with some thinly sliced pancetta and a pound of pork belly, usually carry caul fat or barding fat but not, alas, this New Year's Eve. So happy to be participating in Charcutepalooza. Also traveled to Little Korea and able to find pickled shiso leaves and the pepper paste. Thanks for posting the recipe!!

Oh, excellent! I really hope you like the crepinettes :-) And finding the pickled shiso leaves is such a testament to your Charcutepaloozian mojo.

Lardo also is delicious with the crepinettes, (instead of the elusive caul fat), crisps up on top of them like a garnish. It was a challenge to make them since I am not a charcuterie cook but fun and the end product was delicious! I made it two nights in a row since the three of us couldn't eat it all at one sitting and the one day old mixture was even better. What a nice way to start the New Year.

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (also known as Night at the Museum 2 or Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian) is a 2009 American adventure comedy film directed by Shawn Levy, and starring Ben Stiller, Amy Adams, Owen Wilson, Robin Williams, Hank Azaria, Jon Bernthal and Steve Coogan. The film is a sequel to Night at the Museum.
A third installment, tentatively titled Night at the Museum 3, is scheduled to be released in theaters on December 19, 2014. Director Shawn Levy is returning as well as Ben Stiller reprising his role as Larry Daley.
This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. (January 2014) |
Two years after the events of the previous film, Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) is now CEO of Daley Devices, a direct response television company that sells inventions inspired by his experiences as a night security guard at the American Museum of Natural History. While wealthy and successful, he has not had the time to see his museum exhibit friends in several months.
One day when Larry returns to the museum, he finds out that it is closed for renovations and upgrades. He asks his former boss Dr. McPhee about it; McPhee tells him that because not many people have come to the museum in a long time he has been asked by his advisers to replace 90% of the museum exhibits which are moving to the Federal Archives at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.; and fill the museum with new but holographic exhibits that automatically answer questions on historical subjects. Later that night Larry goes into the museum to visit his friends one last time and he is told that while Theodore Roosevelt (Robin Williams), Rexy the Tyrannosaurus skeleton, the Easter Island moai (Brad Garrett), and Akhmenrah will remain at the museum, Jedediah (Owen Wilson), Dexter the Capuchin Monkey, and others will no longer come to life since the Golden Tablet of Akhmenrah that animated the exhibits each night will also remain.
After the exhibits leave, Larry receives a call from Jedediah. Dexter stole Akhmenrah's tablet and brought it to the Federal Archives, and the evil Pharaoh Kahmunrah (Hank Azaria), Akhmenrah's older brother, is attacking Jedediah and the other exhibits. Larry travels to Washington and visits the National Air and Space Museum, the National Gallery of Art, and the Smithsonian Institution Building, searching for the Federal Archives with the help of his son Nick (Jake Cherry).
Larry locates the exhibits, frozen in their shipping container in the middle of a battle with Kahmunrah and his troops. As Larry obtains the tablet the sun sets and the exhibits, and others at the Smithsonian, come alive. Kahmunrah tells Larry that bringing exhibits to life is just one of the tablet's powers, and that he intends to use it to conquer the world by raising an army from the underworld.
Larry escapes from the Egyptian troops with the help of General George Armstrong Custer (Bill Hader) while releasing the other artifacts in storage including a gigantic octopus. He meets the beautiful and adventurous Amelia Earhart (Amy Adams), who is attracted to Larry and accompanies him through the National Gallery. While moving through the paintings, Larry and Amelia end up in V–J day in Times Square with a sailor named Joey Motorola (Jay Baruchel). In the ensuing fracas, Larry loses his cellphone. Larry and Amelia trap Kahmunrah's soldiers in the photograph, but Napoleon Bonaparte (Alain Chabat) captures them. Napoleon takes Larry to Kahmunrah who has also allied with historical leaders Ivan the Terrible (Christopher Guest) and Al Capone (Jon Bernthal) and has rejected fellow villains Darth Vader and Oscar the Grouch. Jedediah is captured by Al Capone's men trying to rescue Larry but Octavius escapes.
Kahmunrah attempts to open the Gate of the Underworld by pressing the symbols on the tablet, which resembles numbers on a keypad, but the combination has changed. Kahmunrah forces Larry to obtain the new combination before sunrise by trapping Jedediah in a filling hourglass. He and Amelia pass a bust of Teddy Roosevelt yelling for assistance. They find out his nose is itchy but since he has no arms he can't scratch himself. After getting a "divine" scratch from Larry he reads the hieroglyphics on the tablet revealing that Larry can find the combination by figuring out the secret at the heart of Pharaohs tomb. Amelia takes Larry to a statue of The Thinker for help but he gets distracted when he notices a statue of a beautiful women. Amelia says he's "no Einstein" making Larry remember that he saw Einstein bobble heads in the National Air and Space Museum. When Larry and Amelia walk over to the Air and Space museum Kahmunrah assumes he's trying to escape and tells his allies to go kill Larry and bring him the tablet. Octavius meanwhile goes to the White House to find help but can't make it across the lawn. He then is found by a squirrel who then drags him away. Larry and Amelia hide from Russian troops and visit the statue of Abraham Lincoln at the Lincoln Memorial. When it is safe they go to the National Air and Space Museum. There they consult the bobble heads who tell them that the new combination is the value of pi. When they are found by Napoleon, Ivan, and Capone, Larry and Amelia escape in the Wright Flyer and return to the Smithsonian Institution Building. The two separate, with Amelia searching for help while Larry delays Kahmunrah.
Napoleon, Ivan, and Capone obtain the combination from one of the bobbleheads. Kahmunrah opens the Gate of the Underworld and summons an army of Horus warriors. Octavius returns on the squirrel and brings along The Lincoln statue, forcing the warriors to retreat to the underworld, and Amelia frees the New York exhibits from their container and recruits other Smithsonian exhibits. As the exhibits battle, Octavius frees Jedediah from the hourglass by hitting his helmet against the glass and Larry takes the tablet. Napoleon Bonaparte, Al Capone and Ivan the Terrible stop Larry, but he distracts them by asking them who is the boss, which Bonaparte and Capone fight over, enabling Larry to escape, but is stopped by Kahmunrah, who tries to kill Larry. Larry overpowers Kahmunrah and banishes him to the underworld. While the gigantic octopus goes into the waters near the Washington Monument until the sun starts to come up, Amelia flies Larry and the New York exhibits back to the Natural History Museum. Knowing that she will turn to dust at sunrise if she does not return to the Smithsonian. Larry sells his company and donates money to the museum to restore the exhibits. Roosevelt and Akhmenrah as tour guides, Attila as a storyteller, and other exhibits come to life in public as "animatronics" at the museum, which now stays open after sunset. Larry is rehired as the night guard, and meets a young woman named Tess who looks like Amelia. She asks for help going through the museum because she is "always getting lost."

Writers Robert Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon confirmed to Dark Horizons that they were writing a sequel to Night at the Museum, originally with the tentative title Another Night at the Museum. The writers said that "there'll be existing characters and plenty of new ones."
20th Century Fox announced that the sequel, Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, would be released during Memorial Day weekend in 2009. Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Steve Coogan, Ricky Gervais, Patrick Gallagher, Jake Cherry, Rami Malek, Mizuo Peck, Brad Garrett and Robin Williams would return for the sequel, with Shawn Levy returning as director.
The film was mostly filmed in Vancouver with some scenes filmed in the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C..[2] A scene was shot at the Lincoln Memorial on the night of May 21, 2008. Scenes were also shot at the American Museum of Natural History in New York on the August 18 and 20, 2008.
The trailer was released with Bedtime Stories, Yes Man and Marley & Me in December 2008. The trailer accompanied the film Bride Wars in January, The Pink Panther 2 in February, and Dragonball Evolution in April 2009. The film was also promoted as an opening skit on American Idol, where a replica of the Idol judge seats are being held at the real Smithsonian Institution.
An alternate ending included on the DVD and Blu-ray releases featured the return of Dick Van Dyke as Cecil Fredericks, Bill Cobbs as Reginald, and Mickey Rooney as Gus.
Filmmakers loaned the Smithsonian Institution props used in the movie which were displayed in the Smithsonian Castle including the pile of artifacts featured in the film.[3] The Smithsonian also made a brochure available online and at museum visitor service desks outlining where to find artifacts.[4]
As of 2009, numerous artifacts which inspired the movie were on display at Smithsonian Museums along the National Mall. Many of the artifacts are labeled with "Night at the Museum" logos.[4]

Critical reaction[edit]
Like its predecessor, the sequel has received mixed reviews from critics. Rotten Tomatoes reported that 44% of critics gave the film positive reviews based on 154 reviews, with an average score of 5.2 out of 10.[5] Another review aggregator, Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 top reviews from mainstream critics, gave the film an average score of 42% based on 27 reviews.[6]
Despite mixed reviews from critics, most critics praised Amy Adams' and Hank Azaria's performances. Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune awarded the film 3 stars stating that "...she's [Adams] terrific -- a sparkling screen presence."[7] Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a B+ stating "Battle of the Smithsonian has plenty of life. But it's Adams who gives it zing."[8] Also, many reviews noted the costume worn by Amy Adams during the movie.[9] Perry Seibert of TV Guide gave the film 2 stars despite honoring that "thanks to Azaria, a master of comic timing. His grandiose, yet slightly fey bad guy is equally funny when he's chewing out minions as he is when deliberating if Oscar the Grouch and Darth Vader are evil enough to join his team.[10] Michael Rechtshaffen of the Hollywood Reporter and A.O. Scott of The New York Times enjoyed both performances.[11][12]
One critic panned the movie on its excessive use of special effects as noted by Scott Tobias of the A.V. Club when he described the film as "a baffling master plot and a crowded pileup of special effects in search of something to do."[13] Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun Times awarded the film 1½ stars out of 4 claiming "its premise is lame, its plot relentlessly predictable, its characters with personalities that would distinguish picture books."[14]
Box office[edit]
On Friday, May 22, 2009, its opening day, the film's estimated gross was $15,568,708, coming in ahead of Terminator Salvation (which released on Thursday) in 4,096 theaters at #1, reaching up to $54.1 million over the Memorial Day weekend.[15] By comparison, Night at the Museum reached up to $30 million on its opening weekend in December 2006. The domestic revenue as of October 1, 2009, is $177.1 million along with $236.0 million from foreign countries with a total of $411,755,284 worldwide.[16][17]
Year | Award | Category | Recipient | Result |
2009 | Teen Choice Award | Choice Movie Comedy | Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian | Won[18] |
2010 | MTV Movie Award | Best Comedic Performance | Ben Stiller | Nominated |
Home media[edit]
Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian was made available December 1, 2009 on DVD and Blu-ray as a two-disc Special Edition and a three-disc Digital Copy Edition.[19]
Video game[edit]
The video game based on the film was released on May 5, 2009. It was fairly well-received in comparison to the majority of film-based video-games, netting a 7.5 out of 10 from IGN.com.
Ben Stiller admitted that a sequel was "a possibility" and on January 22, 2010, co-writer Thomas Lennon said to Access Hollywood, "That after the success of two Night at the Museum films, it's no surprise that 20th Century Fox is looking to develop a third and that those suspicions are indeed true and how could you not? I think it's a really outstanding idea to do 'Night at the Museum 3,' in fact," he said. "I wonder if someone's not even already working on a script for that," he added with a raised eyebrow. "I cannot confirm that for a fact, but I cannot deny it for a fact either... It might be in the works." In an interview, Stiller confirmed the sequel, however, he said that it was only in the "ideas stage".[20]
It was announced in February 2013 that the film, directed by Shawn Levy, would be released on December 25, 2014.[21] On September 10, 2013, it was announced that shooting would start in February 2014.[22] On November 8, 2013, English actor Dan Stevens was cast as Sir Lancelot.[23] On November 15, 2013, it was announced Skyler Gisondo would be replacing Jake Cherry for the role of Nicky Daley.[24] On December 18, 2013 it was announced that Robin Williams, Stiller, and Ricky Gervais would be returning for the sequel.[25] On January 9, 2014, it was announced that Rebel Wilson would play a security guard in the British Museum.[26] On January 14, 2014, the film's release date was moved up from December 25, 2014, to December 19, 2014.[27] On January 23, 2014, it was announced Ben Kingsley would play an Egyption Pharoah at the British Museum.[28] Principal photography and production began on January 27, 2014.[29]

Released from the hospital and soon to be released from the team. Yet people wonder why players hold out.
Report: Packers TE Jermichael Finley to be released from hospital
Green Bay Packers tight end Jermichael Finley is scheduled to be released from the hospital Thursday morning, reports CBSSports.com.
Finley was injured in the Packers 31-13 victory over the Cleveland Browns when he took a hit to the head from Browns safety Tashaun Gipson. He suffered a spinal contusion in his neck area, causing temporary numbness in his extremities.
The report states that it is expected that the team will put him on injured reserve, ending his season.
FARRAR: Week 7 Injury Impact: Several teams lose key players for the season
Finley has 25 catches for 300 yards and three touchdowns this season and will be a free agent in 2014.
"Jermichael Finley is still seeking the opinions from specialists," Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said Wednesday. "[He's] doing better each and every day. Just communicating, frankly, with someone who just came from the hospital right before practice [who] said he's doing well. He's making progress."

STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) - Keion Bell scored 24 points, Jabari Brown added 20 and Missouri easily defeated Mississippi State 78-36 on Wednesday night.
Missouri (18-6, 7-4) jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the opening minutes and led 34-10 by halftime. It took Mississippi State (7-16, 2-9) more than nine minutes to score its first basket - a 3-pointer by Colin Borchert - but by that time the game was basically finished.
Missouri won its first road game of the season. Mississippi State's losing streak has reached nine games and spanned more than a month.
Missouri led by as many as 44 points in the second half. The Tigers shot 31 of 58 (53.4 percent) from the field.
Trivante Bloodman led the Bulldogs with 13 points.

Former Firefox devotee here. I prized Firefox for its stability with tons o' tabs open, but other browsers have caught up with that.
I switched to Safari on discovering Reader Mode and haven't looked back. Essential! I have removed Flash from my system for many well-known reasons, so I keep a copy of Chrome around for the rare website that still requires Flash. (Chrome has Flash built in.) But I minimize my use of Chrome because, well, Google knows enough about me as it is; they don't need to monitor my web browsing too. |

The company outing. It's probably just a bullet-point on your job description, but this high-visibility event speaks volumes about your organization — and you. The company picnic should be unforgettable — the good kind of unforgettable, that is — so why not skip the wiener roast this year and try something unconventional?
Whether your company culture fits an adventurous, high-stakes outing, a community-centered day, or a family-oriented fiesta, here are some ideas to turbocharge your annual social.
Shark Attack!
Think big. Think adventurous. Think activities that bring out the office Indiana Joneses. How about swimming with sharks? Team Shark Inc., Redondo Beach, Calif., www.teamshark.com, will get you up close with those mysterious sea creatures. "It's a one-day event with a twofold focus," says John Manley, Team Shark president. Manley, a shark biologist, has led shark adventures for almost eight years. "First, we'll have groups in a snorkeling shark cage — we're about 15 miles off the California coast in about 2,000 feet of water — and I'll be outside the cage in scuba gear, luring sharks close. Second, we'll try to bring sharks on board the boat whenever possible. We have a tagging and education program. … They [attendees] can help measure, research, tag, and release the shark. Or just pet the shark. Or just watch."
Team Shark has hosted law firms, Hollywood groups, and other corporate clients. The company normally needs six months to set up a private charter and can take about 30 people at once. Standard fixed cost is $3,000, so per person costs depend on the size of the group. Weekends are booked a year in advance, but weekdays are more flexible.
"This is a teambuilding experience that's not classic," says Manley. "It's not in the classroom. We'll have people help to navigate the boat, work the chum line. There are lots of rights and wrongs, and we'll let participants figure those out as a team."
If sharks aren't your cup of tea, think about a game of paintball between employees and management. Talk about teambuilding. Players have to work together — or suffer the stinging consequences. The game, similar to the playground staple capture the flag, pits two teams armed with paintball guns against each other. Playing in an outdoor or indoor arena, the teams attempt to capture one another's flag and return it to their home base. When a team member is splattered with a paintball, he or she is out. To find the arena closest to you, check out www.paintball.com.
Other ideas to add adventure to your company outing:
- Whale watching
- Whitewater rafting
- Skiing
- Rock climbing
- Survival courses
Make a Difference
If your company is looking for something more civic-minded for its annual outing, consider an event that mixes in a philanthropic mission. Often area food banks are happy to have groups volunteer to sort and repackage nonperishable foods. Typical time periods are four-hour shifts on a sorting line, with volunteers taking one of several posts (sorting, selecting, repackaging). Follow that with pizza and soda, and you have a day out that builds team spirit and helps the community, too.
Or consider environmental conservation. Mark Landon is executive director of the Sousson Foundation, Templeton, Calif., a nonprofit organization whose mission is to involve Americans of all ages in preservation of our national parks. A typical corporate program takes place over a weekend and is divided into two segments. "Half of the time is spent working with the park service in conservation programs," says Landon. "The rest of the time is spent on VIP tours of the park. You'll learn about the park's history, go on hikes, and, in some instances, explore caves."
Although no formal teambuilding activities are built into the corporate curriculum, the volunteerism in itself builds team awareness, says Landon, and the foundation will do everything it can to integrate the group's mission into the program. "You'll go out and capture the essence of what you might learn on a blackboard. And then you'll learn how to bring that back to the office."
Programs take place in many national parks, including Yosemite, Hawaii Volcanoes, and the Channel Islands. One of the more popular volunteer programs in the past year is helping to plant a Memorial Forest to the victims of 9/11 in Sequoia and Kings Canyon national parks in the southern Sierra Nevada near Three Rivers, Calif. The project seeks to plant 25,000 containerized seedlings throughout the parks. If the seedlings are to survive, they must be planted before they outgrow their containers — in two or three years. Cost is about $300 per person, depending on length of stay, and includes meals, accommodations, and more. At least 60 days of advance notice is needed.
Other ideas for adding volunteerism to your company outing:
Gather a team for a cancer, AIDS, or other benefit walk.
Help serve lunch or dinner at a homeless shelter.
Build a house through a volunteer agency such as Habitat for Humanity.
Family Fun
When the company outing includes the whole family, find something everyone will enjoy. Amusement parks can be just the thing. A favorite of Ohio-area residents is Cedar Point, which offers groups a 20 percent discount on tickets. In May, the park unveiled the world's tallest and fastest roller coaster, reaching speeds of 120 mph. Water cooler talk, indeed. You can search for parks in your area at http://themeparks.about.com.
If you're thinking about a day at the ballpark for your company fun, consider the minors. Minor League Baseball has a hometown, laid-back feel, with fun, sandlot-style play. Many of the stadiums rival the big leagues, and group rates, scoreboard, P.A. welcomes, prizes, and stadium picnics can usually be negotiated. Check out www.minorleaguebaseball.com.
For something completely different, consider a venue like the Davis Mega Maze, an eight-acre cornfield maze in Sterling, Mass. Teamwork is a necessity as co-workers negotiate the miles of pathways. Tents and cookouts can be arranged.
Other family outing ideas:
- Water park
- Circus
- Museums
Getting Started
You can't just approach management with some wild idea for a company outing, like tobogganing the Himalayas, before you've done your homework. First, determine the reason for the outing. Does the company want a teambuilding educational element included, or is this simply a time for employees to have fun?
"We'll form a committee from numerous departments, review past events, and figure out the goal of the outing," says Paul Plagenz, CMP, events specialist, Royal Neighbors of America, a life insurance agency for women based in Rock Island, Ill. "Once you know what the message is, you can plan the location."
Questions to ask yourself: "What would people like to do, especially if they are giving up their own time?" suggests Karen Emanuelson, CMP, Tower Travel, Oakbrook Terrace, Ill., which handles corporate events. "Who will be attending? What has worked in the past? What can we afford to do with our budget and still meet our objectives?" And remember that time is of the essence, too. To accommodate a large group, many venues need advance notice of six months to a year.
"Per-person cost varies depending on whether we are catching a movie during the day, so the ticket will cost $6 with another $6 for snacks, to $100 per person for a shopping trip," says Sondra Williams, executive assistant/membership services coordinator, American Benefits Council, Washington, D.C., an advocate of employer-sponsored benefit programs. Once you know your budget, find out what people like to do by asking, either by survey or word of mouth. "Get as many people involved as possible, from as many departments and on every level of management," says Plagenz.
And then the rest is like planning a meeting. "Research options for destination, venues, themes. Contact possible suppliers for bids. Choose vendors. Negotiate contracts. Prepare (and deliver) an announcement or invitation. Prepare a project timeline. On the day of the outing, get there early and oversee setup and carrying out of event. Do post-event analysis or survey. Reconcile final budget," says Emanuelson, ticking off her planning points.
Overall, the emphasis, even in the planning, should be fun."When we wanted our president to take us to go see Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, we created a PowerPoint presentation with text that scrolled up like at the beginning of the movie … . It was so cool — or at least we thought so," says Williams.

Minnesota woman celebrates 110th birthday
A Minnesota woman has celebrated her 110th birthday at a care center in Stewartville.By: Associated Press report, Associated Press
STEWARTVILLE, Minn. — A Minnesota woman has celebrated her 110th birthday at a care center in Stewartville.
Ruth Andreasen reached that milestone on Friday. And fellow Stewartville Care Center resident Lucile Voeltz turned 101 on the same day.
Both women are still mentally alert and attribute their longevity in part to their faith, according to a Rochester Post-Bulletin report.
The two ladies talked with reporters and smiled at the cards, gifts, balloons and flowers on their table. They especially seemed to relish the cake and ice cream.
Andreasen "is a special person to live to 110 and still be able to function," said Wilma Menshik, Andreasen's first cousin. "Sure, she needs a lot of help, but she knows who I am, she always says to tell George (Wilma's husband) 'hello' when I visit. That's outstanding."
Andreasen's daughter, Jane Hoeft, said her mother has nine grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren and eight great-great-grandchildren. Ruth Andreasen was born in 1903 and married a World War I veteran in 1923.
Hoeft said her mother believes she lived so long because "she never smoked, never drank and has a strong faith."
Voeltz beamed throughout the party. She had worked in a window-shade factory after World War II and later at a resort in Brainerd. She and her husband also ran a farm.
She has two children, three grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, and a great-great-grandchild due in March. Her daughter, Lois Esterrich, said Voeltz's secret to a long life was "living day-to-day with God."
Bernard is mentally acute and is a formidable competitor in the care center's games, Bernard said.
"She's very sharp," Bernard said. "She wins our spelling bees and our trivia contests."

Perceptions of morbidity related to reproductive tract infection among women in two rural communities of Ninh Binh Province, Vietnam (HTML)
Nguyen Thi Hoa Minh; Gardner,Michelle; Elias,Christopher J.
Culture, Health and Sexuality 4(2): 153-171
Publication date: 2002
This paper presents the findings of a qualitative study of women's perceptions of reproductive tract infection in two communes in northern Viet Nam. The objective of the study was to gain information concerning women's perceptions of reproductive tract infection and their associated symptoms and help seeking behaviours. Focus group discussions, in-depth interviews, free listings and pile sortings were conducted with approximately 230 women. Although infections are perceived to be common and to cause much discomfort, there is little consistency in the reporting of symptoms, causes and consequences of infection. Perceived causes are predominantly associated with dampness and exposure to dirty water, although there is also a perceived association with medical procedures such as IUD insertion and abortion. Little attention is paid to the risk of sexual transmission. Treatment is generally with guava liquid and 'hygienic washes' at home, with women only consulting a health care provider if symptoms persist or worsen. The findings highlight the need for further training of providers to understand better the perceptions of women; the expansion of information activities, particularly to include accurate information on reproductive physiology, the causes of infection and the possibility of sexual transmission; and strengthening the quality of IUD and abortion services.

Up for sale are 2 chocolate or bakery display cases, one is 8ft long and the other is 6ft long. The 6ft one is refrigerated and they are technically designed for chocolate but can be used for bakery or whatever you like. They both have a huge storage area underneath and are in flawless condition. I purchased them 10months ago for a chocolate store and they cost me $11,000 dollars. They were custom built from scratch and i did not buy them used.....we actually watched them being built. You must buy both cases and they must be picked up North Jersey in a few weeks when they will become available. The candy trays are also included. Makes for a great looking display for your chocolates.
contact: email@example.com
Tags: New Jersey
Are these dispay cases still available? Both?

Giant Thinkwell CEO Adam Tratt on a slide from his company's Haiku Deck presentation app.
The tablet computer is one of the "major shifts afoot in technology now," says Adam Tratt, cofounder of Haiku Deck (www.haikudeck.com). Those book-sized, flat computers — iPads, in particular — streamed into our lives hardly three years ago and were "quickly adopted as a great way to watch Netflix in bed" or read The New York Times "without waking up your spouse with the crinkling of newspaper." Tratt is sure the tablet "will become increasingly used in the workplace." In fact, he points out, walk into any coffee shop around the country and you're sure to see someone making a presentation on a tablet. Most presentations are currently made with Microsoft PowerPoint. That software was designed more than 20 years ago and hasn't fundamentally changed in that time, Tratt says. It hasn't adapted to the Internet and definitely not to tablet technology. It's unwieldy, too, he points out, with too many font choices and bad clip art when you need graphics. The whole category of presentation software "was ripe for disruption," says Tratt. "People are presenting in ways they didn't 20 years ago." Tratt and Kevin Leneway, his partner at Giant Thinkwell, Inc., decided to "re-imagine a tool that millions of people have to use every day in a way that will be better." Research told them that experts identify three rules for good presentations: Offer one idea per slide, use an image that makes an impact, and have a consistent look and feel. They combined the need with the rules, and Haiku Deck was born. Rather than focus on the technological benefits of presentation software, the guys decided to concentrate on the creative. After months of building and testing, Haiku Deck launched this past August and was featured on the front page of iTunes. The app is free, with some features available for pay, and Tratt expects it will stay that way. Currently Haiku Deck is only available for iPad, but it will soon be made available for Google's Android operating system. After a "really nice review in the Wall Street Journal," and write-ups in Time Magazine and Fast Company ("Haiku Deck promises to do for presentations what Instagram did for photos: Make us all look like creative geniuses," according to Time), Tratt says more than 200,000 people use the app. He and Leneway thought it would take six months to see results, "but we knew in two weeks that we were on to something." We're "trying to make the product more useful," Tratt says. Haiku Deck offers a simpler approach to images and fonts and makes web publishing easy. Haiku Deck is about to move from its shared space of tech startups in South Lake Union to larger quarters in "the center of the universe," Seattle's Fremont neighborhood, among such tech giants as Google, Adobe, and Getty Images. It helps, says Tratt, to work near other tech companies. "There's more serendipity," he says. "You bump into people who are working on interesting problems while standing on line for lunch." Tratt grew up on Cape Cod and took a job here with Microsoft in the mid-1990s. He says his kids — ages 11, 8 and 4 — are his hobby, along with skiing and, when he finds himself someplace warm, all sorts of water sports. He also admits to some "really good Bon Jovi karaoke skills." The demonstration video at Haiku Deck's website features Tratt's hands. "If this doesn't work," he jokes, "I'll get a job as a hand model."

Nov 1, 2011Ok...this is getting old, it was bad enough 12 year old CoD fanboys were rating BF3 down, now they are rating this game down, and it's not even the same game, BlackRabbits is guilty of this! Anyways, awesome game, great theatrical experience from start to finish. If you own a PS3, you owe it to yourself to get this game.
Nov 1, 2011Uncharted 3 : Story is amazing , Gameplay perfect from London to Sands , Best graphics in this genaration , Multiplayer better than Uncharted 2 with to many new things , Great soundtrack and voices acting , for me Uncharted 3 is game of the year .
Nov 1, 2011
Nov 1, 2011This game deserves the praise it is getting. IGN, a trusted website, doesn't just give out perfect 10's lightly. You are hooked from beginning to end! A must own.

Nov 11, 2011
Nov 3, 2011It is completely illegal to own a Playstation 3 without buying this game. This game will leave you speechless. It is exactly what IGN has defined it: masterpiece.
Nov 2, 2011Still haven't finished it and i am loving every second of it. Beautifully made and I'm hoping I still have a long way to go before I reach the end. But I still know that without a doubt I will play the campaign over and over. The multiplayer is amazing. Every single praise has been won fair and square for this game CONGRATULATIONS NAUGHTY DOG
Nov 1, 2011The game is totally awesome, every aspect in the game is awesome,

dear ps3 owners:
Buy this amazing game and enjoy it. -
Nov 1, 2011This is the game that you should not miss if you own PS3. It is simply bigger, better, and deeper than the previous version, and I did not expect that can really happen.
This is one awesome game that could win another GOTY for 2011. -
Nov 1, 2011.... Wow. Anyone who has a PS3 needs to buy this game now! Seriously, from the beginning to the end, the game is amazing. So many twists, turns, oh man! No words is needed at the moment, seriously, it is that good. Get this game.
Nov 2, 2011Uncharted 3 has a perfect blend of story, gameplay, graphics, characters, music, voice acting, etc, which is absolutely amazing and had me finishing the game in the same day as I couldn't tear myself away as I just had to know what would happen next!
I highly recommend this game to everybody as this is a brilliant game and deserves to be experienced. :) -

..................................................Simply GOTY 2012........................................................................................... -
Nov 1, 2011This game is the best so far on PS3, and probaly the Game of The Years of 2011. If you have only a 360, dont stay complaing that Gears of War is better, but you need understand that both games have its qualitys, and you need buy a new console (PS3) to play this game. By Mateus Prado Sousa, Games e Reflexões, Brazil

Mar 6, 2012The characterisations by the actors is second to none and even though this tall-tale takes you to fantastical places and events, the script is never once unbelievable. You never feel like an outsider. If anything, you'll feel right at home, ensconced in the constant drama of this loveable cast of returning reprobates and reprehensible villains. [Dec 2011, p60]
Feb 5, 2012It's more than just the best entry in an outstanding series though - it epitomises the very reason many of us play video games. And that's its greatest achievement.
Jan 20, 2012Only a few camera troubles stopped us from giving Drake's Deception the highest rating. Uncharted 3 is without doubt the best PS3 exclusive game of this year. [Dec 2011]

A Brooklyn school aide was arrested Tuesday and arraigned on charges of producing child pornography, and investigators say the videos were apparently made in a classroom. NY1's Michael Herzenberg filed the following report.
Parents picked up their kids from Weeksville Elementary School angry, upset and concerned Tuesday after receiving a note from the school telling them about the arrest of Taleek Brooks.
Federal Prosecutors say Brooks made videos in a classroom of him touching a boy's private parts and spanking a naked boy.
"I'm just totally surprised," said one parent.
"It's abhorrent," said a second.
"I'm very disgusted," said a third.
It's unclear if the videos were made at PS 243, where he's worked as a teacher's aide since 1995.
"I have two boys and one girl that go there, and they said he never done anything to them," said one parent.
Officials at the Department of Education say the Federal Bureau of Investigation is still looking into whether the alleged victims are from any city public schools.
Officials at the United State attorney's office say Brooks made the videos sometime after 2008 and admitted to sharing and collecting child porn for seven years.
Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott said in a statement, "As chancellor, and as a father, I am horrified and disgusted at the charges we learned of today from the FBI. Upon learning of this arrest, I immediately called the principal and went to the school to offer my support. Our paramount concern is for the safety of our students, and we are cooperating fully with the federal authorities as they continue their investigation."
Brooks was initially arrested last month after authorities found child porn on his home computer. The school system suspended him without pay.
The new charges stem from homemade content that the FBI found on his computer.
If convicted, Brooks may face up to 25 years in prison.

Yes- thats the one where you take your gun apart to put it in, right? Well, I haven't had much luck with there adapters. You can try to tighten the two front screws up real tight, and see if that does the trick (after you re-align the tabs). However, I think I might know what your problem is. The paint you're using is too small for the Dye Xcel barrel. Most Dye barrels only accept small to medium-small bore paint. Basically, that barrel doesn't like Wal-mart. |

before i put in the barrel adapter, the gun (stock a-5) shot fine, i could even hit a telephone pole about 50 feet away with it, but after i put in the barrel adapter i had more paintballs bust in the barrel then actually shoot (but it will shoot) and the adapter, which is a lapco autococker to a-5 and is adapting a new Dye Xcel barrel, is loose and comes out when i try to unscrew the barrel. Is there any hope for this gun? |

The Base Loan
For students who qualify for institutional aid, a portion of financial need is first met with a combination of loans, called the base loan. The base loan includes Unsubsidized Direct Loans and AMS loan funds. The base loan amounts are determined annually, assessing anticipated institutional resources and the projected aggregate need of financial aid applicants.
The Base Loan amount for first-year students in 2012-13 is $28,500. Our continuing student base loans range from $31,000-33,000, increasing a bit each year, from year two to year four. Student need is first met by the base loan. All remaining need after the base loan is met with AMS Scholarship. See Financial Aid Awards for sample aid packages and calculations.
