CATEGORIES InterviewsA popcorn fantasy flick this is not. In his new film, 'Extraordinary Measures,' oft-Mummy-slayer Brendan Fraser plays John Crowley, an executive whose two children are facing a death sentence. They're afflicted with Pompe disease, a rare neuromuscular genetic disorder whose victims rarely live past the age of nine.
Crowley decides to take matter into his own hands, hunting down a promising researcher, played by Harrison Ford, and raising millions of dollars to develop a functioning enzyme treatment. Along the way, he has to deal with issues like "acceptable loss" and the increasingly crotchety researcher he's staked all his hopes on. A popcorn fantasy flick this is not. In his new film, 'Extraordinary Measures,' oft-Mummy-slayer Brendan Fraser plays John Crowley, an executive whose two children are facing a death sentence. They're afflicted with Pompe disease, a rare neuromuscular genetic disorder whose victims rarely live past the age of nine.
Crowley decides to take matter into his own hands, hunting down a promising researcher, played by Harrison Ford, and raising millions of dollars to develop a functioning enzyme treatment. Along the way, he has to deal with issues like "acceptable loss" and the increasingly crotchety researcher he's staked all his hopes on.
We talked to the 'Extraordinary' actor about playing a real-life character, working with his childhood idol and whether or not more 'Mummy' movies are on his agenda.
How were you affected when you first read the script?
Being the father of three myself, I could really identify with the Crowleys' story. What parent wouldn't do anything for the benefit of his children? So I could personalize it to that.
How did your approach to playing Crowley change after you met him?
I can say he is easily one of the most principled people I've had the pleasure of meeting. I wanted a challenge as an actor to take that on, to not play a caricature, just dig deep with who he was in the circumstances that he found himself. It's my job to try to embody the spirit of who is and what he's accomplished. I go on that journey where John had to ask himself and others some very thorny questions about mortality, morality concerning big pharmacy, the language of commerce in terms of exactly how much is a human life worth, in terms of acceptable loss or profitability? Maybe, in a way, twist the fluidity he has in the language of commerce -- he's a Harvard MBA -- to side with those who he know ultimately can be helpful to him, although he despises what they represent.
Did you get to know the children as well?
Yes, we met and stayed in touch through email. Megan is precocious and quite a pistol, too. This is true: It's before Christmas and I'm trying to plan my calendar year for 2010 and I can't get an answer from anyone [on when the film's release date is]. Stonewalled. And then, bing! In my inbox, there's email from 12-year-old Megan Crowley. It says, "Dear Movie Dad. Guess what? There's a release date for the movie. It's January 22, 2010." She found this website, it was a total spoiler site ... She signed it, "Megan, the Awesome," with, like, 19 exclamation points. This is a kid who's never felt sorry for herself, who always puts her kid brother ahead of her and she puts others ahead of her too ... I did this other movie about a year ago, 'Inkheart,' based on a fantasy novel. She'd read it and liked the book, so I invited John and his family down. I hadn't appreciated how fragile the kids really are until I met them. They're on life-support systems, basically. And they travel with nurses, they travel with special vehicles. Anyway, she saw the movie 'Inkheart' and in it, there's a reference to 'The Wizard of Oz,' there's flying monkeys in it. So I asked her how she liked the movie at the end of it and she's like, "I liked it a lot, but you know the flying monkeys have been done before." Thanks, Megs.
What would you say is the tone of the film?
It's not something that's mawkish or sentimental. It doesn't aim to elicit an emotional response from its audience that's unearned. Let me put it this way. The other night I saw it for the first time with an audience who weren't studio executives, this was in Philadelphia and I was with Crowley and his wife Aileen. There was a house full of 200, 300 people. I didn't realize how funny the movie actually played in moments. Talk about an unlikely pair: You've got Harrison -- the guy's a rock, his character's called Stonehill -- and he's being given this third-degree by a little girl who's eight years old and in a wheelchair. She's asking stuff like, "So, you married? What's the deal? Really? Why not?" Then she burns him in a wind sprint and goes "Nah nah na nah." It's just, well, funny. I think you can identify with the fact that this is a family ... Keri Russell's lovely in this [as Aileen Crowley]. John describes his wife as the one deserving of all the medals, to give you an indication of what kind of guy he is, and he really, firmly believes that's the truth.
What do the Crowleys think of the film?
[John] paid close attention to the way that the film was conceived of and directed. We wanted to make sure we didn't misrepresent that family, who've opened their hearts, the whole store -- here it is, take a look. Because to them, it's important. Not that they're being rewarded by having a film made about them. Knowing Crowley, that's interesting and fun and nice but he's not a film producer. But he does see this as a way to support the causes that he's near and dear to. This is a way and a tool of sorts to raise awareness. Films entertain and they can enlighten and occasionally they illuminate.
Had you ever met Harrison Ford before this?
Well, we met on the stage at an awards ceremony hosted by SPIKE TV, and it was my dubious obligation to present Mr. Ford with the "Brass Balls" award, which I did. He thanked me, thanked the audience. I later asked him what became of that award, was it a doorstop or what? And he said, "Oh, I sold it for scrap metal."
You've said you grew up being a huge fan of Ford. What it was like working with someone who'd been such an icon to you?
There's a lot of esteemed actors that I really admire -- Michael Caine, Lynn Redgrave, Ian McKellen -- and I learned a lot from them. He's no exception. Any 40-year-old male who won't admit to a fingernail bit of hero worship for Harrison is a liar! But you get to know him and that kind of went away. It dispels quickly. He's about the work. The guy's a meticulous actor, does extensive research, and he does what it takes to tell the story. And he does it without any curlicues or frivolity, which I really admire.
Do you see yourself doing more dramas?
I have a comedy coming up in April, it's called 'Furry Vengeance.' You may recall a guy called Ken Jeong who leapt from the trunk of a car wearing nothing but a crowbar in 'The Hangover' and maybe some shoes or boots. Other than that, I'm developing some things. Stay tuned.
Any more 'Mummy' movies in the works?
Not to my awareness, but they've got my number. It's down to the people.
And then you're doing a sequel to 'Journey to the Center of the Earth?'
I'd like to work in 3D with Eric Brevig, the guy who directed the first one. So that's a possibility, if it's not that, then we'll find something else.

The HSUS has been trying to have our Fox Preserves here in Virginia shut down by using untruths to play on the sympathies of those who do not know what Field Trialing is about. We do not slaughter fox and own trained killer hounds. We do alot of good for our communities by hosting alot of benefit hunts to help anyone in need. We bring much needed revenue to our state. Fox Preserves are monitored by the DGIF and all fox are vaccinated, wormed and fed. Enclosures are well maintained and many natural dens and man made escape houses are in the enclosure. Enclosures are 300 to 1000 acres in size, not small cages as many are led to believe.
We feel the HSUS has unfairly painted a very negative light on the Preserves in VA and we the undersigned would like to request that consideration of their past untruths be brought to light in their next round of attacks. Please vote to keep our Preserves open and preserve our rights.
We here in Virginia are proud of our hunting heritage and are willing to stand and fight for that right.
Kenny Butzner
This was once a great state, for a long time; but now with an influx of those from MD NY and PA we get a democratic state and this is just the beginning, what is next? If your originally from here your imagination WONT let you down, sign this, NOW!!!!!!
Chase Sinnett
I've been fox hunting since before I could walk, I'd hate to see this wonderful sport be taken away from us.

A 49-year-old West Side man, upset with the man who is dating his 25-year-old daughter, tried to shoot the man on Saturday, but wound up shooting his daughter instead, when she stepped in-between the two men. The woman suffered a gunshot wound to the arm and her father, who is a convicted felon and documented gang member, was arrested shortly thereafter and is due in court for a bond hearing Sunday.
About 2 p.m. on Saturday, during a domestic dispute at their home in the 4900 block of West Quincy Street, Dante White allegedly took out a handgun and attempted to shoot a 26-year-old man who is dating his daughter, according to police News Affairs Officer Laura Kubiak.
White's 25-year-old daughter though, in an attempt to keep her father from shooting her boyfriend, stepped in front of him, and was accidentally struck in the arm by the bullet that was intended for her boyfriend, Kubiak said.
The daughter's boyfriend was apparently not injured in the incident.
White fled the scene but was apprehended a short time later. His daughter was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital for treatment of her gunshot wound.
White, who police say is a convicted felon and documented gang member, was charged with one count of unlawful use of a weapon by a felon and one count of possession of a firearm with a defaced serial number.
White was scheduled to be in court at 26th and California for a bond hearing on Sunday.
Police are investigating the murder of a homeless man who was beaten to death in an alley in Logan Square.

- Decent 3 star experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2000VIPDined on 8/29/2014It seems like all the pieces are there... decor, menu options, lots of staff, but it all just lacks quality and attention to detail. A reasonable option if you can't find a reservations somewhere else.
- Great findMikeBDined on 8/28/2014Loved the food, and it was very reasonably priced. A great find!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- very good experience!3kidsmamaDined on 8/1/2014located in eclectic Mission, Piattini is a nice modern restaurant based on what we Italians know as 'cicchetti-style' cuisine (small bite-size appetizers typical of north-east Italy). It gets a little noisy when place fills up, but this is an issue I've noticed in many new restaurants. Plate presentation was very nice, portion-size ideal, and food very tasty and true to the flavors one could enjoy in Northern Italy. We tried several fish 'piattini', all very good, and then the squid ink risotto which was cooked to perfection. Staff is very nice and knowledgeable, and we were treated to a much appreciated glass of Moscato wine at the end of dinner! Really a place to try.Special Features:
- Good place to take vegetariansfoodie123Dined on 7/22/2014A great place for you to take your vegetarian friends. Half the menu is vegetarian. But they also have a lot of seafood and meat options for the carnivores.Special Features:
- Delicious "new" place!OpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 7/15/2014I understand that this is a new incarnation of another restaurant - and although I had never been to the previous place, I loved this one! Great cocktails, excellent and inventive small Italian-style tapas, and warm but efficient service - a great addition to the neighborhood!Special Features:
- Good food, well-pricedmaggmaeDined on 7/12/2014We had a very nice meal here. Had been looking for a place that would serve creative, small plates for reasonable prices and Piattini fit the bill, especially for the neighborhood which can often be overpriced and overrated. My only complaints were small things that I think could be ironed out in time (food came before drinks, service was a little haphazard at times.) Nothing that took away from the fact that the food was very good, presented in creative ways, and we felt that the prices were extremely reasonable. A good neighborhood spot that I think will catch on over time. I suggest asking to sit in the back near the open kitchen -- the smells there were amazing!Special Features:
- babsmartDined on 7/10/2014The small plates of italian food were great for a group. We could all sample different dishes. The risotto and mozzarela cheese ball were fantastic. I was expecting the baccala to be fried and it was steamed. I would not order this again. The service was very good and the waiter very friendly. I will definitely go back again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Location Zero Stars...ALISDined on 6/26/2014Food was very good, owner very corrigible, restaurant has a cafeteria feel, no bread but could order focaccia if you like that. Waitress could use some training. She brought a clean and dirty wine glass to the table and didn't notice the red wine spots still in the bottom of the glass. Obviously not the restaurants' fault, but the stench of urine on the sidewalks 50 feet from the entrance should have been enough to turn any one around. They could definitely use a better location!
- Great find!WhirrrDined on 5/30/2014Had an excellent dinner here with 3 friends. Everything was very very good, and a couple of dishes were outstanding - the pumpkin ravioli and the mushroom risotto. The risotto was one of the best I've ever had. For the quality of the food, the prices were amazingly reasonable. The place seems not to have quite caught on yet, so it's pretty easy to snag reservations. Get there, before it is "discovered".Special Features:

- DisappointingDaveDined on 2/27/2014I used to come to this restaurant with friends who lived in the neighborhood. Since they moved, I haven't gone to Specchio in years, and I decided to try again when a friend of mine came to visit me. The cook might have changed, but pizza is definitely not what you would expect in an italian restaurant. Good starters and decent main courses, but not good as before. Too bad.
- Good enough for a nice dinner outThankYouForFeedingMeDined on 2/21/2014I loved the lighting fixtures. It was pretty loud so in fairness perhaps the wait staff couldn't always hear us properly. The food was good but the wait staff was a bit disengaged when we tried to get their attention and maybe that's the their way of providing the guests with a sense of privacy in a crowded dining setting. The wait staff also consistently delivered the wrong order to the wrong person at our table. I liked their salads very much.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- nice!AmandaDined on 2/19/2014great!their food is really good!I will come back soon!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Not greatgoodearthVIPDined on 2/8/2014The place was practically empty at 8pm on a Saturday night - not a good sign. I decided to dine anyways. I would say that I have made better meals myself, and i hate cooking. I compared the pizza to frozen pizza's I have made. Cheap and always seating. Wouldn't recommend other wise.Special Features:

- mediocrekittyDined on 1/4/2014My husband and I went here for a date night, hoping to find a good Italian place in our neighborhood to replace our favorite place that closed some time ago. Sadly, this is not that place. Too loud, even when only half-full, and the food was ok but nothing exceptional.
- Homemade pasta to die forreddy2eatDined on 12/30/2013Best Tagliatelle w/ Salmon in the city! Prix Fixe Menu always a hit.Special Features:
- Great Italian Food in the MissionOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 12/28/2013We were early (the first seated), but the service was fantastic throughout, even when it got more crowded. Very good food, a bit salty for my taste, but most food is too salty for me. I liked that they used a lot of garlic. The calamari appetizer, pizza, walnut pesto and salmon all fresh tasting and well seasoned.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Excellent food!CarlDined on 11/25/2013We went on a Monday night @ 6 pm before Thanksgiving - guess most folks were out of town. We were the only group in the restaurant at least until 7p. We got excellent service, wonderful tasty appetizers (the small plate veggie ricotta was superb!), and ordered one of the best red wines in the place! The special was filet mignon w/ mushroom-sauce - yummy!! Cooked to perfection :) We were impressed by the desserts - sorbet w/ cookie & cannoli.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great find on a busy street!CKMissionVIPDined on 11/15/2013Very impressive atmosphere, presentation, food and wine. Two visits and will be back again. Perfect for a quick bite at the bar or a full sit down meal. Expectional Italian wine list and very affordable per glass prices. Consistently solid and flavorful foods from the buratta appetizers to the pastas to the steak and salmon and canollis. Top that with knowledgeable and professional service this is a great go to place for me and my friends.Special Features:

- enjoyable dinner experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 11/6/2013My husband and I had a weekday dinner at Specchio and enjoyed the delicious food and welcoming, attentive service. We arrived for an early dinner and were the only ones in the dinning room for a while. Made us wonder, but as it got later the restaurant began to fill up with other groups enjoying the bar and the restaurant. We ordered rigatoni with a nice tomato based sauce and the radicchio risotto, and both entrees were delicious. We look forward to returning to try some of the other items on the menu.Special Features:

- Almost perfectGeorge2Dined on 10/5/2013I love this restaurant and feel very comfortable here. The service is terrific and most of the food is terrific. But the Cornish Game Hen was awful. The meat was like basic chicken and it was slathered in a sauce that seemed 100 percent mustard. I couldn't eat more than a couple of bites. Do customers really like this? The other three dishes were superb -- spaghetti with fruiti di mare, the best sirloin steak I have ever had anywhere by far, and pasta with cinghiale (wild boar), the pasta in that dish being among the best pasta I've had and the wild boar sauce perfect..Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great ambiance, food, & service!YumyummVIPDined on 9/27/2013I love this place, always have a great experience! Great food, service, wine list, fun ambiance- SO glad I stumbled upon Specchio a year or so ago. It's definitely one of my staples in the mission!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MehDavidSFOVIPDined on 9/23/2013With so many really good restaurants in the Mission, this one doesn't really do much that's special or unique. I went with a group of 5, and we shared appetizers and entrees family style, so we all got a chance to try a number of things. The service was good.
- Don't even try to conversepleased2eatoutDined on 9/20/2013Good food here. You WILL overhear your fellow diners. The painted walls and metal railings remind me of of working on a freighter -- almost nautical. It looks like they are no longer screening those amusing Italian movies of 50 years ago on the rear wall. They also seem to be cutting a few corners, for example no bread or new silverware between courses. Friendly, courteous service. It's good value if you use a two for one coupon and do happy hour at the bar on your way in or outSpecial Features:

- Yummy Italian GemLiveforItalianDined on 9/7/2013This was my second time eating at Specchio and I could not wait to try it again to see if it was still as great as the first time. It was. They treated our table of 5 like VIP guests. Service was wonderful and the food was perfect. The menu works wonderfully for larger groups or intimate tables. The ambience is urban but cozy. I will definitely be going back soon!Special Features:
- A Mission District FindOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/5/2013Specchio is very nice. There are several good restaurants in the Mission, but Specchio is one of the best. Excellent attentive service and very good food at reasonable prices.Special Features:
- Tasty ItalianOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/4/2013The homemade pasta was a highlight, although the cinghiale sauce could have had more flavor. The roasted veggie appetizer was surprisingly flavorful and delicious. The crispy polenta was more chewy than crispy. Service was fairly attentive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A nice spot in the MissionOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/31/2013This was my second visit to Specchio and both times, I've been impressed. The prix-fixe menu is delicious and plentiful and the cocktails were quite nice, too. We also liked the attention that the waiters gave to us. Very attentive but not obtrusive. The kitchen was lightening fast, too. The only thing that didn't wow me was the dessert but the salad, main, pasta and cocktails definitely made up for that. Keep it up, Specchio!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mission District GemRitzDined on 8/31/2013My husband and I brought our daughter and two children to this chic and modern restaurant. They offered a good selection of Italian wines and traditional Italian dishes with a modern twist. My husband had the Sangiovese and I had a white wine from Tuscany, both went well with our meal. The gnocchi, pork chop, grilled salmon and polenta were all outstanding. We especially loved the sauces that were unique in the gnocchi, pork chops and mussels. This restaurant showed it's true hospitality with it's kind attention to our table; albeit bringing along a 2 y.o. and a 4 y.o. They loved the mussels, finishing off the bowl. We had to put in another order so that the grown ups could have some.Special Features:
- Definitely recommend!1234Dined on 8/24/2013Came here through an online deal, but it was easily worth full price. Small plates (beets and polenta) were very tasty. Primi pastas were perfectly al dente; one with walnut pesto and the other pork bolognese, so fresh and delicious. Secondi was the pork chop, just right. Portions were a bit large for SF, but not too much. Cocktails were well made, especially the vodka/cucumber concoction. And the manager/owner suggested a wine that paired perfectly with the pork chop. Service was quick and attentive by the team of staff, though our actual waiter was a little too busy to attend to our questions and we had to ask others. The manager/owner visited us a couple times, and seemed to speak with every single guest in the restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

2011 Volnay 1er Cru le Clos de Chênes, Domaine Henri Delagrange(6x75cl)
Ruby coloured with a incredible depth of aroma and flavour. Violets and red fruits are extremely expressive, but also powerful, long-lived and elegant.
2011 Pommard les Vaumuriens Hauts, Domaine Henri Delagrange(6x75cl)
Beautiful red-black colour. The vines are on the slopes above the premiers crus which produces complex, powerful wines with a fantastic dry, mineral quality. Aromas of blackberry, bilberry or redcurrant and cherry stone. A wild forest floor character may develop in time.
2011 Aloxe-Corton Les Caillettes, Domaine Henri Delagrange(6x75cl)
For Pinot Noir, a quite dark, deep ruby. When young, the aromas evoke the garden in spring, red fruits (raspberry, strawberry, cherry) and black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry). These flavours become more intense with age: peony and jasmine, jam and fruit in eau de-vie, pistachio, prunes, leather, truffles, mushrooms, cinnamon. It is a generous, opulent wine with distinguished tannins.
2012 Hautes-Cotes de Beaune Rouge, Domaine Henri Delagrange(6x75cl)
Ruby with purple rim with youthful aromas of morello cherry, raspberry, crushed strawberry and violet. Invigorating freshness and round, silky tannins.

Ruby coloured. Enticing wild raspberry and bramble aromas. Medium bodied, with supple tannins and generous, soft fruity character.
2010 Beaune Clos des Mouches 1er Cru Rouge, Joseph Drouhin(6x75cl)
Red fruits and undergrowth. Serious but so drinkable.
2013 Longue Roche Merlot, IGP Pays d'Oc(6x75cl)
Soft and elegant with ripe damson fruit character, subtle tannin and a long elegant finish.
2013 Carignan Vin de France, Le Rouleur(6x75cl)
A bright cherry red colour packed with red berry aromas and hint of nutmeg. The palate is full-bodied and fruity.
2003 Lourens River Valley Red, Morgenster(6x75cl)
Opaque centre with lighter brick red edges, young and vibrant red.Starts out more herbaceous with lavender and thyme in the lead. Cabernet franc much more predominant with some whiffs of coffee. Then comes the cassis, raspberry and perfumey rose petals. Elegant and accessible entry, fullness is a given. A seamlessly put together palate. Beautiful balance of fruit, wood and acidity.
2003 Morgenster Estate Red, Morgenster(6x75cl)
Colour: Saturated ruby red.
Nose: Sexy aromas of dark berries, cassis and kirsch, hints of chocolate and mocha.
Palate: The palate impression offers ripe fruit, bedded in finely knitted ripe tannins. All these combine to assail the palate with a level of density, structure and viscosity to offer an outstanding mouth-feel. A liquid velvet texture is transformed by a rocky, minerally element. A complete wine with a classic elegance and excellent finish.

By ALVIN REINER
---- — KEENE VALLEY — Keene Central School's proposed 2013-14 budget sits at $5,564,347 and calls for a 3.5 percent increase in the tax levy.
The budget total is up 4.07 percent over this year.
The total estimated school tax levy is $4,626,542, up $156,615 from this year. The increase is under the allowed cap under the state formula.
The district has a total assessed value of $522,150,117, according to figures cited Aug. 31, 2012.
Superintendent Cynthia Ford-Johnston said that early in the budgetary process "the fiscal picture appeared to be bleak for Keene Central School."
Based on the governor's original proposal for state aid, "the gap faced by the district would have necessitated cuts in programs and staff," she said.
"Once the state budget and all costs were finalized, the spending plan came together well. Student needs will be met, programs will remain intact, and the district can remain below the tax-cap limits for one more year."
Areas of substantial increases in costs include pension expenditures for both teaching and non-instructional staff, more students wanting to attend CV-TEC programs and curriculum work associated with national Common Core changes.
Some new budgetary items include safety and security improvements, maintenance and repairs to carry the district through the next five years.
"Talks continue between districts as to what might be shared or streamlined to improve opportunities for our students and/or decrease cost," Ford-Johnston said.
"These discussions and the resulting changes will continue. The long-term sustainability of our district depends on the success of these efforts.
"I encourage everyone who cares about the future of KCS and education in our region to become an active participation in these talks."
Cost-saving measures that have already been implemented include sharing the cafeteria manager and physics teacher with Schroon Lake and exchanging special-needs students with Elizabethtown-Lewis.
Ford-Johnston said the district will save money through an anticipated retirement and will also see an increase in state aid.
"Keene offers a rich, challenging and well-rounded program. The support and infrastructure are sufficient but remain lean. Every expense is scrutinized and compared to others to determine if it is necessary.
"This budget supports programs consistent with those of prior years. Employee agreements for health-insurance changes continue to save the district from increased cost for a second year. No large purchases are planned for the coming year.
"Under this spending plan, our school will operate and provide programs that mirror this year," said Ford-Johnston.
In a district newsletter, School Board President James Marlatt said that in preparing the budget, they were reminded of "the challenges we all faced this year and will continue to face in the years to come. The school administration persistently evaluates educational and support functions, focused on providing an enhanced educational environment, while striving for an appropriate level of cost."
He is not seeking re-election, but incumbent Ann Whitney, John Haverlick and Heather O'Dell are contending for two positions on the School Board.
A hearing on the budget is scheduled for 7 p.m. Monday, May 13, at the school.
The vote is noon to 8 p.m. Tuesday, May 21, at the school.

What's the diff betw li#navigation and #navigation li?
Hi guys,
I've been reading and trying out CSS but still can't understand this part.
What is the difference between :
Code CSS:
li#navigation { font-weight: bold; }
Code CSS:
#navigation li{ font-weight bold; }
Can anyone help here?

Hi, and welcome to SitePoint.
This is an important question.
li#navigation is a sort of longer version of #navigation:
it means there's a li with the id of "navigation":

foo

(#navigation would be parsed a little bit faster in the browser than li#navigation, but sometimes you'll see people do div#someID simply so that they know what kind of element is being targetted when they're reading CSS... so might be better for some humans, but not better for browsers)
#navigation li (note the space) means a li who is a descendant of someone with the id of "navigation" (usually a ul, but can be any ancestor actually):

Note that #navigation li hits any descendant li, so this would hit submenus:

Products

This product also hit by that rule

This product also hit by that rule

This product also hit by that rule

This product also hit by that rule

Basically, the important thing to know is that when listing CSS rules, the space is actually a type of selector ("general descendant selector"), and not just there for readability. Compare to the direct-child descendant selector: >

A.Your problems are
common. I've seen shingles in a 50-mph
wind that looked like the flip card section at a
college football game. The tabs will not seal until
there is a sunny day or two above 40°F. If
there is dust blowing around before the shingles
seal, it may coat the adhesive and they will never
The adhesive on self-sealing fiberglass shingles
seems to be their major problem. If it sticks well
enough to hold the shingles on the roof, it may not
creep enough to allow the roof sheathing to move
with changes in moisture. The result is that the
shingles split. The old organic shingles would
creep within the shingle itself, but the fiberglass
does not. And using an adhesive with enough creep
may not hold the shingles down.
It helps to store the shingles in a warmer area
until they are needed on the roof, to keep them
flexible, but this creates more work. At least one
company has attacked the problem of flexibility by
adding 12 to 14% styrene/butadiene/styrene
(Shell's "Kraton"). The resulting shingle
is flexible down to 0°F. These shingles have
reportedly been installed in temperatures as low as
20°F in Alaska. The manufacturer, Malarkey
Roofing Co. (P.O. Box 17217, Portland, OR 97217;
503/283-1191), is only distributing this shingle as
far east as Denver. Other manufacturers may soon be

FORT WORTH — I have always been a fan of the photographs of Ansel Adams. We know he was an active environmentalist, but he also was an accomplished musician. He taught himself to play the piano at the age of 12, and you can hear his music and see his nature in every one of his photographs now on display at the Amon Carter Museum.
The exhibit features 40 black-and-white photographs from the lens and life of the nature photographer who lived, worked, and was even married in Yosemite National Park.
Adams was known as a generous artist who shared his knowledge with other photographers.
"He taught workshops in Yosemite from 1941 to about the 1970s, and was more than willing to share what he knew about photography, because this was a gift he had, and wanted to share with everybody else," said John Rohrbach, the museum's senior curator of photography.
Adams was a master at playing with the contrast between dark and light. His 1941 "Moonrise" photograph is perhaps his most famous example.
"He had had a terrible day of photographing along the Chama River in New Mexico, and was disgusted at the few attempts he had tried to make," Rohrbach said. "He was driving back to Santa Fe when he looks over his shoulder and this is what he sees."
Ansel Adams died in 1984 at the age of 82. Early in his career, sold an entire portfolio of exposures for $100. Today, a single Ansel Adams photograph fetches prices in the upper six-figures at auction.
This was a beloved artist who made music through his lens.
The "Ansel Adams: Eloquent Light" exhibit is on display through November 7 at the Amon Carter Museum. Admission is free.

Mid-western born, my ethic growing up embraced the modernism of Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Sullivan and the Prairie School. Years in Chicago and New York increased my passion for the hybrid energies of regional, local and specific interactions, imbuing my practice with an increasing attention to the here and now, to nature and to being within the constraints of a physical structure.
The edge between two and three dimensions continues to delight. As such the work tends to parlay in relief sculpture, often blurring the boundaries between drawing, painting and sculpture.
I also make food and dishes, expressions of hospitality, conviviality and relational aesthetics. I make artifacts. The dishes can be seen here -

Deer Park's Jesse Molina has seen both sides of the Mat Classic and he doesn't need to be reminded on which one he likes best.
The 132-pound junior earned a berth to the state wrestling championship in his freshman season, but was forced to watch last year's proceedings as a spectator after not getting past the regional round.
"It takes a lot of work to get there (the Mat Classic)," Molina said.
A wrestler since his grade school days, Molina is prepared to get a closer look at the Tacoma Dome than last year view as a spectator.

The Spokane County Sheriff's Office has a person of interest in the Chanin Starbuck homicide investigation but will not immediately release the suspect's identity as detectives continue to gather evidence.

The Spokane Medical Examiner's Office determined that Starbuck was strangled a few days earlier.
The Deer Park girls basketball team unleashed a strong defense and uncanny free throw shooting to defeat rival Riverside 62-48 on Dec. 13.
The Lady Stags rushed out to a 13-4 lead in the opening quarter, thanks, in part, to Tessa Heins work on the free throw line. The senior guard hit 9 of 10 free throws in the first eight minutes of the game.
The Riverside boys basketball team, sparked by the play of freshman point guard Taylor Axtell, rallied to defeat rival Deer Park 59-54 in a non-league game on Dec. 13.
The Rams, hurt by cold shooting and the Stags' strong inside game, trailed 45-36 going into the fourth quarter.
A short time later, Axtell, who tossed in a team-high 16 points, took over. He scored seven straight points to trim the Stag lead to 47-46 with 4 minutes to play.

After being honorably discharged he worked for many years at Alcoa in Addy, Wash., as an emergency medical technician and security guard.
Mr. Slocum enjoyed hunting and hiking in his spare time.

Former Conservative councillor Adrian Turner quits Tories
5:14pm Thursday 19th December 2013 in News
FORMER Conservative councillor Adrian Turner has resigned from the Conservative Party.
Mr Turner blamed the bad blood within the Dudley Conservative Party which recently saw Mr Turner's parents Councillors Ken and Hazel Turner leave the party as part of the reason for his departure.
Mr Turner joined the Conservative Party in 1997 and represented Lye and Wollescote from 2004 until 2012.
He said: "Due to recent events and the continued victimisation that has been experienced by myself and family, i have no alternative than to resign with immediate effect from the Conservative Party.
"I became a member of the Party believing it was a party of opportunity for all. I have since realised that it is merely an illusion."
He added: "I do not have pots of money, I work hard for my income and cannot profess to be either a Mason or a member of a golf club.
"I cannot allow this situation to continue affecting my health and happiness, more importantly the happiness of those who matter to me. "Therefore my decision is made for me by the actions of others who made me less welcome than a pig wearing a Baggies shirt in a mosque by the Molineux."
He added: "To those who remain that are decent people, you have my sympathy and admiration for loyalty. To the others, I will watch your decline into oblivion locally with a wry smile."

Rossendale village could lose bus service
2:00pm Monday 7th January 2013 in News
A ROSSENDALE village could be left without a bus service as the county council is set to decide whether to withdraw a key route.
Newchurch will lose its 63A/63C service – provided by Rossendalebus – on January 28.
The circular route is the only one which links the village with Rawtenstall and Waterfoot.
Lancashire County Council has proposed an identical Monday to Saturday replacement service for a period of six months to allow for a full review of its subsidised runs to take place.
Currently, buses run hourly in each direction through Higher Cloughfold and Newchurch, with 71,000 passenger trips per year, according to county council data collected from ticket machines.
The six-month replacement service will cost £22,500, but there is no guarantee it will continue beyond that period. A report by the county council's executive director for environment acknowledges that cancelling the service could leave villagers isolated.
It reads: "While alternative services are available between Rawtenstall and Waterfoot along Bacup Road there would be no services available for the whole Newchurch area.
"In the event that a replacement service between Rawtenstall and Waterfoot via Newchurch was not provided, this area would be left without access to public transport during Monday to Saturday daytime."
The authority advised county councillors, including Rossendale North's Tony Winder, of the service's withdrawal and asked for their views but no comments were received.

Beautiful end unit townhouse with 4 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths.

Statue of Sir Alex Ferguson to be unveiled at Old Trafford
Simon Rice
Simon Rice is Online Sports Editor for The Independent
Tuesday 06 November 2012
A statue of Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is to be erected at Old Trafford later this month.
The announcement of the unveiling comes on the 26th anniversary of Ferguson's appointment as manager of the Red Devils.
The statue is sculpted by Philip Jackson, who was commissioned to mark the manager's quarter of a century in charge. The unveiling will take place on Friday, November 23, the day before United's home match with Queens Park Rangers.
A statement on the United website read: "It will be placed in a prominent position near the entrance to the Sir Alex Ferguson Stand - formerly the North Stand which was renamed in his honour last year.
"The club will also be unveiling new artwork and installations in the Sir Alex Ferguson Stand concourses which will illustrate the manager's achievements throughout his United career."

From the US States Attorney's Office:
United States Attorney Bill Nettles stated today that Asia Shanniece Currie, age 19, and Cedric Willie Bellamy, age 26, both of Longs, South Carolina, pled guilty today in federal court in Florence, to conspiracy to make, possess, and pass counterfeit Federal Reserve Notes, a violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 371.
United States District Judge R. Bryan Harwell of Florence accepted the pleas and will impose sentences after he has reviewed the presentence reports which will be prepared by the U.S. Probation Office.
Evidence presented at the change of plea hearing established that Currie and Bellamy were involved with Kamesha Dolly, previously convicted, in the making, possessing, and passing of counterfeit Federal Reserve Notes from July 2010 until March 2012, in the Lake City, South Carolina, area. Currie and Bellamy were arrested on March 19, 2012, while attempting to pass counterfeit currency in Lake City. A search was subsequently conducted at Dolly's residence and additional counterfeit Federal Reserve Notes were located.
Mr. Nettles stated the maximum penalty Currie and Bellamy can receive is a fine of $250,000.00 and/or imprisonment for 5 years, plus a special assessment of $100.00.
The case was investigated by the Lake City Police Department and agents of the United States Secret Service. Assistant United States Attorney William E. Day, II, of the Florence office handled the case.

This publication contains an overview of the Plug In and Living Archive presentations with images, short informative texts, discussions with the makers and a look into the future. The book shows the experimental journey that has lead the museum from Plug In and Living Archive to the new 18-month project Play Van Abbe. Play Van Abbe consists of exhibitions, projects, performances, lectures, discussions, and new ways to explore critical reflection by the audience on the relations between art and society.
Both Plug In and Living Archive have offered the museum a chance to present art works in unexpected constellations, not only to point out art historical references, but also social and economical history, political changes and cultural differences.
The use of materials, methods and scenarios by artists have changed over the last decades. What are the consequences for the presentation of art works? What meaning can a collection give to its surroundings?
After the introduction by director Charles Esche, curator of the collection Christiane Berndes writes about Plug In. Re-imagining the collection. Together with art historian Sven Lütticken, Van Abbemuseum curators Christiane Berndes, Charles Esche, Annie Fletcher, Diana Franssen and Steven ten Thije discuss their experiences with Plug In and Living Archive during the past 3 years. They sketch a view on the future of models and ideas for working with contemporary art collections.
The publication contains chronologically ordered information about the 53 seperate Plug In collection presentations of the past 3 years. It also provides an overview of the different Living Archive presentations in which the museums archive and documents about the exhibitions and the collection are disclosed and related to art works in the museum.
In his essay In discussion with Time: the Museum and the 'Modern', Steven ten Thije focuses on the theoretical context, historical relations and ideas surrounding Plug In and Living Archive as a forerunner of the 18-month museum experiment Play Van Abbe.

Reviews for Apple-Cinnamon Shortcakes
Sort By :
loved it!
This is the kind of shortcake we made for all fruit, nix the cinnamon for, say, strawberry shortcake. I like it a lot better than the sponge cake type, I like the added crunch. When the filling is very hot, pour a little milk or cream over it, or top with whipped cream. Very good!
I agree with Mortinka. I want to know what to expect when I make a recipe not hear about how I shouldn't be making it because it's unhealthy or that "it sounds good" because that's why I plan on making it. Enough ranting, I did make this and it was average. The shortcakes cooked up fine, I got nine using 1/4 c. to measure. I used Braeburn apples and they took FOREVER to soften and were sliced very thinly. I finally gave up and threw a lid on the pan and steamed them. Flavor was good but nothing overly special.
Can't understand why people have to put their 2 cents worth in without making the recipe.
I made this exactly as listed and it was very, very good.
The shortcake is soft, moist and good and the apple filling is very good.
So VERY, VERY GOOD :>)
I made this over the weekend as written for my daughter and 2 granddaughters. They loved it! The recipe was passed on to her. Thank you. Easy and a great dessert.

All mobile libraries and mobile one stop shops in Cornwall face the axe
12:00pm Tuesday 14th January 2014 in News
All mobile libraries and mobile one stop shops in Cornwall face the axe due to budget cuts, with the fear of further job losses.
The decision was made at the Partnerships Portfolio Advisory Committee meeting on January 7, as part of a review of the Council's customer access services which includes Libraries, One Stop Shops, the telephone Contact Centre and customer payment options.
The move is part of plans to find £1.3m in savings from a review of these services.
A council spokesman said: "PAC members agreed to progress proposals to remove all mobile library and mobile one stop shop services, replacing the services with a range of community based initiatives.
"There will be a 12 week consultation with members, town and parish councils, partners and communities around this proposal."
The council says that there are examples of these already operating such as the home delivery service and community libraries which currently operate at Roche, St Dennis and Stithians.
It is also proposed that 50 per cent of the current mobile library and mobile one stop shop budget, around £150,000, is used to fund alternative ways of delivering services to those communities affected.
Cornwall Council cabinet member for partnerships Adam Paynter said: "The Council is under severe pressure to deliver services within very tight budgets. We will be undertaking a 12 week consultation on plans to cease the mobile library and mobile one stop shop service.
"We want to find ways to deliver services in a different way and will be looking at how we can use the resources available to deliver new ways of working. With partnership initiatives such as Pub is the Hub which has seen mini libraries set up in pubs, and the successful home library service, we have seen how services can be made available to communities."
The next steps regarding a consultation on the proposal to cease mobile library and one stop shop services are underway and the outcome of that consultation will be reported back to the Partnerships PAC before any final decision is taken by the Cabinet.

Family Problem Solving
When people are ready to talk about family issues or conflicts, two essential ingredients are needed. First, there needs to be a willingness to work toward solutions. Second, there must be agreement that there is a problem and what the problem is.
Following are suggestions that can be followed during a decision process.
- First, discuss and clarify how each person views the situation or problem.
- Then suggest each person make a commitment to the problem and think about solutions.
- Third, give each person a chance to state his or her priority values and particular needs. An hour or two, or a day later consider the alternatives.
- Finally, examine the possible solutions to discover if you are willing to accept the results of one or another of the alternatives. There is an agreement when there is a goal for action and a willingness to follow through by committing time, money, and human energy to the action plan. Or, from this session you may need to re-clarify the problem, thus going back to step one. Have a trial period. This can be less threatening than a hard and fast decision. If there isn't a willingness to work on solutions to the problem, then you can only address the situation in ways that you can control. You can adjust your view, your involvement, or your reaction to the situation.
Successful social decisions bring people closer together and improve future communication. For more information call a family counselor, spiritual advisor, or mental health service provider.
