In our attempt to enter the world of food, the rituals and rules attached to it and even the sensory experience involved with the process of eating, we decided to watch a series of movies concerning food. During searching we came across with the culinary cinema of Berlinale Film Festival where we found out a list of interesting awarded culinary films. And so the movie-session begun!
The first film that we watched was Babette's Feast(1987) where a french woman, Babette enters a strict 19th century Protestant society in Jutland, North of Denmark.
Babette works as a maid serving two sisters whose father was a respected pastor. On the occasion of 100th anniversary of pastor's birth, Babette gives a genuine french dinner. In the last 40 minutes of the movie, the ceremony of cooking and eating takes place. During these minutes we started to realise the profound differences between cultures that are defined by religious and ethical rules. What made a big impression was the whole process that turns into a well excecuted ritual whose parts played an equally important role to guests' experience.

Windows 7 Home Premium x64
Slow Startup and hangups
I have a mostly new system build as of 8/20/2011.
New components are as follows;
Intel i5 2500k
Gigabyte GA-Z68A-D3-B3
8gigs Patriot Vengance RAM
EVGA gtx550ti
Old components are as follows;
Corsair vx550 psu
LiteOn BluRay drive
Hitachi 1tb HDD
Seagate 250gb HDD
Here is the issue, when I reboot, it seems as though it takes as long or longer than it used to with my C2D E8200 system. After logging in it seems to continue to drag on even further. My gameplay is far greater than it was but the system itself seems slower. When I check Resmon it doesn't appear that anything is out of the ordinary, although, immediately after login the Resmon shows above 69% usage or more on all cores. This seems really high for this processor. Any ideas?

High-skilled manufacturing is booming, and Ohio needs workers
Blog Entry:
September 12, 2012 4:30 AM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
That boom you keep hearing about for high-paying, skilled manufacturing jobs?
It's real
, according to new data from the
Conference Board
"The number of job openings for skilled factory workers has increased 38% since 2005, according to numbers from the Conference Board that measure labor demand across industries," CNNMoney.com reports. "More strikingly, the sharpest increase in postings for skilled workers — 152% — has occurred in the last three or so years."
Among the states where demand is the highest for skilled workers are Ohio, Michigan, Texas, California, Illinois and Indiana, according to the Conference Board.
"The employers range from small parts makers that contract with large manufacturers to midsize and large assemblers in the auto, aerospace and industrial metals sectors," CNNMoney.com notes. The hottest openings are for machinists, tool-and-die makers, computer-aided machine operators and similar specialties, according to the story.
Starting salaries for such jobs "are often as much as $45,000 to $50,000." Overtime, which is common because of a shortage of skilled workers, can bump that up significantly.
This is not a short-term trend.
According to the Conference Board numbers, which aren't adjusted for seasonal factors, "there were 151,478 job postings for skilled workers nationwide in May 2005," CNNMoney.com reports. The number dipped to 82,741 in February 2009, in the heart of the recession, but has risen to 208,887 last month.
The No. 1 state for those jobs openings is Ohio, with 14,202 as of Aug. 13.
"What we're seeing is the bottoming out of manufacturing," says Michael Mandel, chief economy strategist with the Progressive Policy Institute. "The really sharp jump in wanted ads coincides with the portion of manufacturing that is switching from shrink to growth mode."
A little behind the curve
The monthly
Monster Employment Index
of online job listings for the United States
grew a healthy 6%
in August from a year ago, Recruiter.com reports, though the Cleveland market trailed the national pace.
All major metro markets saw positive annual growth, with Houston leading at 15%, followed by Orlando, Chicago and Indianapolis at 14%. Recruiter.com says the lowest growth metro markets were Pittsburgh and Seattle (both at 4%), followed by Cleveland and Minneapolis at 5%.
Finishing on top of job sector rankings were agriculture, forestry, fishery and hunting, and transportation and warehousing, both up 13% from a year ago. Also up in August were the administrative support and retail trade sectors, each climbing 10%.
Recruiter.com says the biggest declines occurred in public administration (down 16%) and educational services (down 3%).
An edge from 'no edge'?
He won't hit the job market for a few years, but based on
this blog post
The New York Times
University School
senior Will Walker sounds like he'll bring a refreshing honesty to his eventual employer.
Mr. Walter is one of eight high school seniors around the world who are blogging about their college searches for The Choice, a
He's visiting colleges and says that during interviews, "I found myself tailoring my answer to fit whatever I thought the college officers at that school would want to hear. … Don't get me wrong — I never said anything that wasn't true. I just chose to emphasize different aspects of my personality. But still, no school got the full truth, the complete, unabridged, me."
So then Mr. Walker unleashes "the full truth, at least where college is concerned, (which) goes more like this:"
Hi, my name is Will Walker. I'm from Cleveland, Ohio, where I go to a small, private, all-boys school in the east-side suburbs. I'm an average student, with a slightly above-average extracurricular record and good SAT scores. I'm not a recruitable athlete (unless there are any track programs out there looking for an out-of-shape J.V. runner with an 8-minute mile, in which case, e-mail me). I'm a mediocre musician, I'm in every religious, ethnic and cultural majority possible, and I've never cured cancer or built a spaceship. In short, I have absolutely no edge over anyone else in the college process.
As for my future plans, you have about as much idea as I do. I know I like to read, that I'm interested in government, that I want to try and help people, and that I'm bad at math. But other than that, I have no clue. My plan is to go to college to try and figure things out about myself; to go to college without any plans at all, and play it by ear, rather than use the next four years as a tool to obtain a certain job or salary.
I admire a young person who doesn't feel a need to present himself as some sort of student Superman, with internships and foreign trips and the right answer for everything.

Yellowstone Bear World
Yellowstone Bear World is a commercial wildlife park.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] It is located in Rexburg, Idaho, near Yellowstone National Park.[9] It was established in 1998.[3]
During construction of the park developer Mike Ferguson was ordered to halt excavations due to the delicate nature of the wetlands near the Snake River which was the location of the park. Work was halted in late April-early May, 1998, but most of the work for the park was already completed. According to the terms of the Clean Water Act developers are required to show that they will do no, or little damage to wetlands before work is begun. It is unclear whether Ferguson knew that he needed such permits in advance of beginning development.[10]
On May 28, 1998 Madison County Commissioners voted to grant Mike Ferguson a permit to allow construction on the wetlands where the park was to be located. The vote was unanimous after local residents showed strong support for the project. This was the last step the park needed from county government officials before the park's construction could be completed.[11]
On June 12, 1998 the first of Bear World's bears arrived to the drive-through wildlife park. The bears arrived two days after Ferguson reached an agreement with Idaho wildlife officials who gave him permission to bring in the bears on a temporary basis. This move allowed Ferguson an opening to avoid, temporarily, a ban on the commercial importation of black bears.[12]
Yellowstone Bear World is the only drive-through wildlife reserve in the Greater Yellowstone area. The major attraction of the park is the ability of visitors to see grizzly bears, gray wolves, and other wildlife indigenous to North America in their native habitat from the safety and comfort of their cars.[13]
Three times during each day the park offers children and adults the chance to bottle feed bear cubs and pet them. The feeding experience is part of a complete 'behind the scenes' visit with a professional animal keeper.[14]
Visitors are encouraged to leave their cars and visit the petting zoo which is over one acre containing free-roaming farm animals and birds. There are also bottle-fed deer fawns or elk calves available at times.[15]
There is an entrance fee for visitors to the park. Adults are charged $16.95, and senior citizens are given a $1 discount. Children ages 3–10 are charged $10.95, and toddlers under 2 are free. A full car load pays a flat fee of $74.95, up to 7 passengers.[14] The bottle-feeding experience costs and additional $45 per person.[15]
The park is open every day from 9am to 5pm from mid-May until Memorial Day. From Memorial Day until Labor Day the park is open 9am to 6pm daily. From Labor Day until mid-October the park is open from 9am until 5pm. The park is closed all winter.[14]

Strasbourg, 25/4/2013 - "The picture of the human rights situation which I have observed during country visits, meetings with authorities and discussions with NGO representatives in 2012 is worrying" said today Nils Muižnieks, Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights, while presenting his first annual report. "Of particular concern are the persisting patterns of discrimination, racism and homophobia; the treatment of migrants; constraints to freedom of expression; as well as the inefficiency of national judicial systems."
On top of these long-standing problems, austerity measures have contributed to undermining the overall post-war acquis of social and economic rights. Civil and political rights have also been affected, including access to justice, conditions in detention and relations between the police and the public. "In many countries key institutions for human rights protection, such as the courts and national human rights structures, have been weakened by excessive budget cuts. Furthermore, populist politicians as well as nationalist and extremist groups have exploited people's frustrations and fears for electoral purposes."
Minorities, in particular Roma, are increasingly the targets of discrimination, racism and intolerance. Discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity continues to be a widespread problem. "Legislative measures restricting the freedom of expression and association of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons represent a worrying step backwards to a bygone era when homosexuals were treated like criminals."

The French Market
New Orleans, LA
Since 1812 the French Market in New Orleans has functioned not only as a place for trading, but for many different types of people to gather and meet. This remains true today. From residents to tourists, everybody can find something at this open-air market. Since colonial times the area has been used for trade. It was not until under Spanish rule that the area was consolidated, creating a much more efficient and clean shopping experience. Due to the variety of meat being sold at the time it was called the meat market. Not until the 1850's did the name French Market come into use. Currently there are no more meat vendors due to health reasons. Today the market does not extend as far as it did 100 years ago and is currently under construction. Half the space has been rendered unusable for at least the next few months. After Katrina I can recall only a few fruit vendors, which was once a bountiful section of the French Market. Currently there are none, nor will there be any returning according to other vendors. However, the famous Cajun and Creole spices and food are still for sale; truly for the adventurous, not for a vegetarian like myself.
Most of the vendors sell souvenirs, t-shirts, and crafts. There are still many good places for knickknacks and strange New Orleans memorabilia though. There are even a few music booths carrying classic and modern Zydeco and jazz music. Maybe you won't find many historical items for sale, shopping where many have done the same for generations is a timeless experience. The varieties of people that have shopped and traded here include the Cajun on the bayou to the free person of color. The French Market is not just a regular flea market, but also a true New Orleans experience. Also it gives one the rare experience of bargaining prices. The vendors are often full of stories and different crafts to peruse. Spending an hour or two in the market is sure to add to one's historical experience of New Orleans.

from Edward Hadas:
Three Ms for economics re-education
Many economics students are unhappy with what they are being taught. A network of 62 groups from around the world has drawn up a petition calling for more "pluralism" in instruction. The malcontents find the dominant neoclassical model too narrow and want to know why so few experts predicted the 2008 financial crisis. They also want less abstract theory and more study of actual economies. The reproaches are just, but the students' reform agenda is insufficiently radical.
They underestimate the scale of the intellectual scandal. The profession's ignoble tradition started in the 19th century, when most political economists, as they were then known, failed to notice that industry was leading to massive improvements in the standard of living. Today's practitioners know much more, but they still struggle to explain the most basic phenomena – prices, wages, money, credit, unemployment and development.
Pluralism, the study of alternative schools of economic thought, would help, but not much. With the partial exception of the still underdeveloped study of institutional economics, the available alternatives to the neoclassical synthesis largely rely on the same erroneous assumptions that humans are rational and that market forces almost exclusively shape economies.
The demand to study intellectual history and other social sciences is more promising. Add in philosophy, and a new curriculum could lead the next generation of economists to undertake a profound re-evaluation of some basic concepts.
from Nicholas Wapshott:
Eliot Spitzer and the American tolerance for second chances
Everyone has been taken by surprise by the speed with which Americans have embraced the notion of gay marriage. Even progressive leaders like President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were left playing catch-up. Now, it seems, sexual peccadilloes by politicians are no longer thought grave enough for them to be cast into the outer darkness forever. Are we becoming a super-liberal society? If so, what happened to the "moral majority" that dominated politics for so long?
The latest fallen pol to start over is Eliot Spitzer, the sometime governor of New York, who by day prosecuted whorehouse madams and by night enjoyed their services. "I'm hopeful there will be forgiveness," he told the New York Times. "I am asking for it." After resigning in disgrace in 2007, Spitzer served time as a talking head on CNN and Current TV, which many may think is penance enough.
from Edward Hadas:
Poverty and renunciation
"Go into the street, and give one man a lecture on morality, and another a shilling, and see which will respect you most." Samuel Johnson said that in the 18th century, but the general preference for money over preaching is sufficiently strong and timeless that his wry quip remains pertinent. Most economists take Johnson's sentiment too seriously. They assume that people always want more shillings and always resist wealth-denying morality. That is a serious error.
Consider, for example, the enthusiastic response from around the world to the material renunciations of Pope Francis. The crowds cheered when the new leader of the Catholic Church said he wanted a "poor Church for the poor". His decision to stay in simple lodgings and wear simple clothes amounted to turning down shillings for the sake of giving a morality lecture, but few observers were bothered. On the contrary, it was welcomed as a pertinent comment on the excessively materialist values of modern society.

A couple of weeks ago, I watched a Marathi film called "Balak Palak" (Children and Parents). A new crop of film-makers is portraying the burgeoning Indian middle class with its own set of problems and "Balak Palak" is no different.

from Edward Hadas:
Prosperity need not kill religion
Thomas Carlyle's fulminations against the spiritual damage wrought by factories are almost two centuries old, but the sentiment is current wherever industrialisation is rampant. "The huge demon of Mechanism," he wrote, "smokes and thunders, panting at his great task, oversetting whole multitudes of workmen ... so that the wisest no longer knows his whereabout."
In China, today, government leaders and dissidents alike worry that, as one commentator put it, "frenzied competition for a better life [has] lobotomized the people of inherent values like common decency, compassion and feelings of fellowship".

Gay marriage law in Argentina signals waning Catholic power in Latin America
The Catholic Church's failure to derail a gay marriage law in Argentina shows once powerful clergymen losing their influence in Latin America, where pressure is growing for more liberal social legislation. (Photo: Gay couple in Buenos Aires, November 25, 2009/Marcos Brindicci)
The law, which lets gay couples marry and adopt children, was approved last week to the cheers of hundreds of gay couples gathered outside Congress despite opposition from churchmen, who called gay families "perverse."

Ethics angle missing in financial crisis debate
In the ongoing financial crisis debate, many people think that unrestricted subprime loans, credit default swaps, astronomical bonuses, huge bank bailouts and other aspects of today's economy are somehow unfair or wrong. This issue is not only economic or political, it's also about ethics and morality, these people think. But that view doesn't get traction in our political discourse. Asking the big question about what is right/fair or wrong/unfair is not really debated. Sure, there are contrary views on this and any debate would be long and lively. But it doesn't really happen.

today was a good day at the Once Upon a Time set! 6 out of 7 actors came out to meet fans! Filming first was Jennifer Morrison, Georgina Haig, Elizabeth Lail and Scott Michael Foster. All of them came out when they wrapped for the day. After that, Robert Carlyle, Colin O'Donoghue and Emilie de Ravin filmed. Robert and Colin both came out to meet fans when they wrapped for the day

Once Upon A Time is back in Storybrooke! And so is a new character. Elsa (Georgina Haig) joined Emma and Hook in a few scenes yesterday in her full costume. Earlier in the day Charming, Snow, Henry, Emma and Hook filmed a scene (which included Snow pushing a stroller). I'll post some more pictures soon when I have time to edit them :)
you-made-me-smile-so-i said: what's it like meeting the OUAT cast? it must be really cool to meet them whenever (not now bc hiatus). if u don't mind me asking, do u live in canada?
It's always nice meeting the Once cast, they're a very friendly group of people. I do live in Canada :)

On Friday I was on the set of Psych. I was hoping the main cast would be there because I hadn't seen any of them yet, except for Tim Omundson, and like lots of people are guessing and the crew says, it is almost guaranteed that this is the last season. Luckily enough, James Roday, Dule Hill, Maggie Lawson and Kirsten Nelson were all on set. The scene they were filming outside was a pretty big scene I'm guessing. I knew what was happening in it because I could hear the actors talk and they also had the whole scene laid out on the film notice. But despite the fact that all the fans there knew, they still had people holding up big umbrellas, trying to block the scene from the bystanders.
The street they were filming beside was a pretty busy street so most of the people in the cars driving by were looking at the set and one lady rear ended the guy in front of her because of it. I thought it was pretty funny :P
I got to talk to a few of the crew members while I was there, they were all very friendly. Most of them seemed pretty happy that they had fans who would go out of their way to go see the filming. I mentioned that I would love to meet the cast and they said they would pass the message along to them. They agreed and said they would come out after their scene. Maggie Lawson came out first. She signed autographs and took pictures with everyone there and was very friendly. Someone there mentioned how they watched the show with their family and she said a few of them were talking about how it's so unusual for a show to appeal to all ages. She also got congratulated on her new show and she said she's excited to start filming. She said she started filming either next week or the week after (I can't remember which) and how it was back to back work, just how she liked it.
Not long later James and Dule came out.They talked about how the weather was really nice. I asked James how he was liking twitter and he said he was still used to it and "getting his feet wet". They were making conversation with everyone, shaking their hands and exchanging names. Of course they made a few jokes. They took pictures with everyone then were part way through signing autographs when a crew member came to bring them back to set. James said "Okay, thank you" and continued signing until everyone had what they wanted.
They were all great and I'm so happy I got to meet them :)

Yesterday, Once Upon a Time came back to Storybrooke. The first scenes took place in the middle of the street and Jennifer, Ginnifer, Josh, Emilie, and Rose were a part of it. After that was finished, Jennifer Morrison and Emilie de Ravin came out to meet fans. It was my first time meeting Jennifer. Now Ginnifer is the only main cast member that I have yet to meet! :)
Later, Colin and Jared filmed together. I only stayed for rehearsals cause it was really cold out. They filmed on a beach with the boat in the last picture in the background

Some pictures I took at the Once Upon A Time set a few weeks ago. I finally got to meet MRJ and it was amazing. His smile is beautiful, haha
Lana Parrilla, Jennifer Morrison, Ginnifer Goodwin, Josh Dallas, Colin O'Donoghue, Michael Raymond-James, Emilie de Ravin, Jared Gilmore and Lee Arenberg were all on set that day. In my pic of Ginny walking you can see the baby bump! So we knew for a while before they officially announced that she is pregnant.

A couple weeks ago Once Upon A Time filmed in Storybrooke for a couple days. On the first day Robert Carlyle, Emilie de Ravin, Michael Raymond James, Robbie Kay and another actor were there for the (spoiler filled) scenes that I saw. As you can see from the pictures, Robert, Emilie and Robbie came out to meet fans when they were done for the day

I went to the Arrow set on Wednesday and Thursday night. Wednesday night, from what we could see, was Stephen Amell and Paul Blackthorne on a roof.. So with it being on a roof at night it was not easy to see so we didn't stay around for too long.
On Thursday night was much better. First was a stunt scene which may or may not involve a motorbike and gun shots. :) Then they moved onto a rally sort of scene which Stephen Amell, David Ramsey, Emily Bett Rickards, Colton Haynes, Paul Blackthorne, Susanna Thompson, Willa Holland and Kevin Alejandro were all part of. Stephen was very nice and came over to the fans who were waiting to meet him fairly early on in the night. He is always very friendly. He was in "The Hood" costume that night, so he has the makeup on his eyes. It was cool to see him in the costume for the first time. Also for the first time that night, I met Colton!! yaay! I'd been wanting to meet him for so long and now I finally have :) Him and Emily were nice and stopped to meet a few of us :)

The Spirit Man:
A fifteen year old girl sets forth with her family in their old diesel engine car powered by fry oil in search of a new home. Their journey takes them to new places, both internally and externally as they rediscover themselves and come to terms with their past in a land of pines and swamp and people of surprise.
review: "I want to give a big shout out for The Spirit Man, a story beautifully written. An adolescent narrator embarks on a journey with parents, brother, and Uncle Stanley in a diesel car converted to run on cooking oil. What happens next is tender, magical, and convincing. Dave Jaicks has created a marvelous story which makes you feel it really could have happened just this way!"

An excerpt from Horses In The Fog
"Ginny had a smaller framed body, but she was a powerhouse of brown hair that seemed to drape and pile off her head in ringlets like an abundance of harvested grapes. She looked at herself in the mirror, adjusted her clothes and wrapped her neck up in a worn poufy fur. She walked from her apartment into the evening carrying a small bag with some clothes, some shoes, some money and announced to some sitting neighbors that she was on her way to the city and might never come back. They could have the few remaining tomatoes they could find inside the vine that hung like a shock of green hair over her fence.
One man in coveralls smiled, then threw a wad of pulled grass in the air as she passed. He watched her walk off in high heels over the stone gravel…."
Dog Park: Filled with sweet sadness and humor, a dreamy woodworker who is all thumbs at his craft, visits and revisits a dog park with his dog and witnesses the lives of two young women who are on the verge of big changes in their lives that will put them on very different paths.
An excerpt from "Dog Park"
"They had been sitting around most of the early morning. Almost everyone was there. It had been a good morning. The familiar faces, snouts, and tails. Carol and Tim were there. Both had grey hair and wore black. They were like salt and pepper shakers as they stood together on the high ground overlooking their dogs. Carol was a teacher and during the summer and had taken on the responsibility of being the informal manager of the dog park. She collected donations and made sure the garbage cans were emptied.
She had spent her winters managing a classroom of high school teens so she was certainly capable of handling the dog park in the summer. James thought that those of us who knew of her and her service were quite grateful…."

The Valkyrie® name is legendary, and the powerful six-cylinder Muscle Cruiser that stirred so many souls when it was first introduced in 1996 has a hard-core following to this day. Now for 2014, the Valkyrie takes that unmistakable swagger to a whole new level.
Friday, March 7, 6-8 p.m., at Honda's Main Display Area (Look for the new location of the Honda tents, just east of turn 4)
Honda invigorated the standard/retro market with its addition of the Honda CB1100. Designed to resonate with fans of the iconic 1970's Honda CB750's, the CB1100 balances that retro look and feel with the performance, reliability, and quality Honda's more contemporary bikes are known for.
Since its debut in the 2002 Supercross season, Honda's CRF450R four-stroke race bike has built an impressive reputation for winning races and championships at the highest levels of pro competition. And the notion that racing improves the breed certainly applies here: current racing rules require that motorcycles be closely based on production machines.
By the 1960s, Honda was hitting its stride. After starting out in 1948 as Honda Motor Co. Ltd., producing its first complete motorcycle, the Dream D, in 1949, then starting production of the Super Cub in
1958 and starting American Honda Motor Co., Inc. in 1959, Honda was on a roll and ready to start flexing its engineering muscle.

A riot broke out in the center of Hollywood last night ... but instead of looting, the "rioters" were planking, instead of guns there were glow sticks.
The disturbance erupted during the premiere of the "Electric Daisy Carnival Experience" at the Grauman's Chinese Theater. DJ Kaskade drew a crowd by tweeting "Today@6pm in Hollywood @Mann's Chinese Theatre. ME+BIG SPEAKERS+MUSIC=BLOCK PARTY!!!"
Hundreds of people descended on Grauman's, only to be told by cops the event was canceled, triggering the "riot."
Some of the fans jumped on police cruisers ... the cops in riot gear responded by shooting bean bags to break up the crowd.
It was the funnest riot ever, complete with tourists, kids, people all glittered up, women dressed as geishas adorned with electric lights ... even an overweight dude in pasties.
Kaskade tells TMZ "I'm incredibly disappointed that [Wednesday night] ended the way it did. It's unfortunate that a few disrespectful people turned what was supposed to be a celebration of music into a regrettable event. This is not what EDM is about."
can someone please tell me what the hell planking is??????
Canada will always be the rioting champion
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA..throwing glowsticks, too? DAM, soo pissed I wasn't there! I know some Kaskade fans, too - you tell them he's gonna be performing, fools run into the phonebooth like Superman, come out in partymode equipped wit neon wayfarers, glowsticks & ipod players, fists PUMPIN'!!
These people look like absolute fools. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. Kaskade should take responsibility as well. You aren't a local DJ, you fool, you command the masses, therefore the masses showed up because of you.
Damn hippies...
Really, TMZ? The "funnest" riot ever? So, you've got 18-year-old interns writing your stories now?
well, nowadays with youtube and facebook, no one wants to show the world video footage of them getting their ass handed to them by cops, because for sure the world is gonna laff at them. better to just play coy and not provoke the bad boys in black so much anymore!!
Planking is sooo lame!
was that a LaBeano festival? looks so unamerican....
I'm thinking DJ Kaskade should be the one paying for all the police presence it took to break up this "riot". What a dope!
And you said Vancouver was bad for their Riot after the Canucks lost the Stanley Cup!! Dont talk smack about other places when Hollywood is obviously just as BAD!!!
Actually that was the coolest riot ever... nobody got hurt, people were smiling despite the cir****tances. And some guy with big manboobs had the decency to wear pasties.
Nothing but morons.
If you're going to be arrested or detained for any reason, don't do because some "DJ" told you to do so. Do it for a very deep belief. 30 days later while paying any fine/jail, this "DJ" will be doing something else and not know you from anyone. Not worth the trouble.
Ravers.....need you say more?!

Wow, I really like Lark. That was a surprise and I real shock coming from a man, honestly. I understand the concerns about the lack of history, but if we're frank, Delilah really only has one historical namesake and it's VERY negative. One of the most famous prostitutes of all time. Plus, it doesn't sound to alternative when you already have one child with a nature name.
Lark is spunky and strong (I love short names) and yet very feminine. I love it. I find this name actually very tame considering Xanthe, Artemis, and Delilah. You have a bunch of very romantic ancient ladies and then a bright nature name which to me, fits much better with Iris than any of the others.Names I enjoy:

Retrofit your washroom with touchless fixtures to increase the likelihood of proper handwashing practices.
Whether you're trying to decrease natural resource consumption or absenteeism, touchless washroom fixtures may benefit your facility's efforts.
The rapidly evolving technology eliminates the need for manual fixture operation, lowering the risk of cross-contamination. Meanwhile, the equipment dispenses only as much water, soap, warm air, or paper toweling as needed to cut down on waste.
Fewer Resources and Sick Days
Sustainability initiatives and hygiene considerations are frequent motivators for touchless retrofits. Eliminating the risk of wasteful practices, like faucets left running, can result in considerable savings, says Rick Nortier, product manager for faucets with manufacturer Sloan Valve.
"The CDC recommendations call for a rinse, soap for 15 seconds, a final rinse, and using a paper towel to turn off the manual faucet," Nortier explains. "The whole time you're soaping and drying your hands, the water is still running. If you don't rely on the user to turn the water off, however, you'll save water and money."
Many users are loath to touch washroom handles, levers, and buttons for fear of cross-contamination, Nortier adds, which can lead to fewer users washing their hands properly.
"People would prefer to touch as little as possible while in a restroom, such as avoiding cranks on paper towel dispensers," says Bill Gagnon, vice president of marketing and key accounts for Excel Dryer. "Having a hands-free environment eliminates those concerns and increases usability."

Dude, that's just about perfect. It looks like something out of one of my Illuminated Manuscripts books. Kudos galore.
I really love it Ravs. Clear and artistic. When a map combines those two aspects well its always a winner. I love the text too. I just thought of a slogan for the monastery, that would form part of a mantra of some kind "From surrender, purity, From purity, Salvation".
Well done.
That is a real stunner. Good job.
Couple of questions, to follow up on Waldonrate's glowing pillars - the cloisters at the top end of the lecture area are also remarkably shadowless. The other thing is the compass. If the west gate is on the west of the monastery and the east gate is on the east, then the large pointer of the compass is pointing south, which seems a little counter-intuitive.
I apologise if there is a good reason for that elsewhere on the thread, I admit I just jumped to the most recent version. Otherwise, a truly excellent job. Well done.
Also, you might want a door on the barracks. Currently if your soldiers need to get somewhere in a hurry they have to run a long way through the acolyte's quarters.
Thank you for all the the compliments and for the C&Cs - all of which I will incorporate. It's so helpful having many pairs of eyes to pick up on the oversights. Hopefully it should not be more than an evening's work - what do they say? The last 50% of your time is spent on the last 10% of your drawing?
Torstan! Well spotted with the Compass, I'll reverse the Gate names! I really don't think the design of the compass works with this - I'll make something else up more suitable.
Almost there (phew!)
Or maybe it was an oversight. Works either way.
Not tough! This is exactly what I need to spot the oversights.
Here is the latest version in which I hope I have incorporated the C&Cs.
I'm not happy with the motto though....it looks too much like a badge or something.
### Latest WIP ###
Motto fixed and I've made the image a little smaller. I think this is the final entry now.
Thanks for all the help and encouragement, everyone.

One year ago, an ice jam on the Yukon River caused massive flooding of the remote town of Galena, Alaska, forcing an evacuation of all residents. Shortly after the flooding, AmeriCorps members deployed to the region to provide key support, including a 9-person team from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources Keepers of the Land AmeriCorps program. Travelling from Iowa to Alaska, AmeriCorps members stayed for 31 days, serving more than 2,600 hours. The members mucked and gutted more than 50 structures, collected and distributed donations to local families, and cleared more than 87 tons of debris. This video tells their story.

This is an educated guess at the moment so take it FWIS. Word

certainly using the wininet.dll and the API to it. And
wininet.dll is part of IE. So effectively, they're using IE.

The most disturbing problem to me, is that the administrative costs for all these government programs are always ignored. When a company that has to produce goods or services, and sell them in the ever shrinking private sector, has to cut back, they look to cutting non-producing areas of their business first. The government, which is by it's nature, 100% overhead, has a problem, they pile bureaucracy on bureaucracy to try and paper over the shortcomings. The solution to this dead end maiise, is to privatize some government functions. Bid out services like government job training, postal service, national park administration, etc to companies that can be fired if they don't perform up to expecttions and quit hiring 6 to 8 people per jo

Draco Malfoy and Flashman
Do you wonder that Draco Malfoy is based on Harry P. Flashman (started out in Tom Brown's Schools day?
1. Both of them are despicable aristocrats.
2. Even though both of them are villains, they are portrayed with positive side by another author (Fans for Draco, and Fraser for Flashman).
P.S- What do you view with more favor? Flashman or Flash Thompson.Pony Minecraft Avatar by Dirtytabs

Re: Draco Malfoy and Flashman
Aside from the fact that people other than the original author have chosen to write stories with them as a (slightly) more sympathetic protagonist- there isn't that much in common.
A case could be made that the fanfic writer had read the Flashman books, or Gregory McGuire's Wicked, or something similar, and was inspired by that notion to do it for Draco- I wouldn't know.
There's quite a few authors who get that notion.Marut-2 Avatar by Serpentine

Re: Draco Malfoy and Flashman
Also there is the fact that fanfics ALWAYS have those who write the bad guys in a sympathetic light. Especially when its situations like draco and harry, or sasuke and naruto."Interdum feror cupidine partium magnarum Europae vincendarum"
Translation: "Sometimes I get this urge to conquer large parts of Europe."

Re: Draco Malfoy and Flashman
It wouldn't surprise me, Tom Brown's School Days is very much a precursor to Harry Potter -- although Rowling herself saved the Draco Malfoy character from full vilification to become a mere Butt Monkey.

Re: Draco Malfoy and Flashman
#1 is because it's a common trope. Everybody knew that one snooty rich kid in high school, it's an easy way to express a character without much work. Which, given that Draco was mostly there to help define Harry and be an antagonist when the big bad wasn't appropriate, is about the right amount of characterization for plot importance.
#2 is the nature of fanfic. Given that the Potter series started out as stories Rowling told her own kids, I think it's incredibly unlikely that she developed the characters with an eye towards internet fandom would take to them. I don't see how the behaviors of third parties can be used as an argument that A is influenced by B.

Come on people! Don't any of you know your histories? Harry Potter was inspired by this.

If Beyoncé hadn't came out with Single Ladies and had Heather Morris as one of her dancers, there never would've been a need for the choreographers at Glee to bring Heather in to teach a dance to Jenna and Chris. Without Heather, there's no Brittany. Without Brittany, there's no Brittana.Thanks Beyoncé.
The amount of sass though.
what were you thinking?…
if you ever think about making fun of someone for watching glee don't we already hate ourselves more than you ever could
And if you're wondering, I'm great.
I'm stronger now, but still the same.
My love for you it will remain,

Many studies have shown that women with high bone density have a higher risk of breast cancer than women with low bone density [47-52]. A meta-analysis that combined the results of 10 studies found that women with high bone density had about a 60 to 80 percent higher risk of breast cancer compared to women with low bone density [52].
Having strong bones does not increase breast cancer risk. Rather, high bone density is a marker for higher levels of estrogen in the body (the more estrogen a woman produces in her lifetime, the more bone mass she has). These higher estrogen levels are linked to an increased breast cancer risk.
Learn more about estrogen and breast cancer risk.
Although women with higher bone density appear to have a higher risk of breast cancer, they have a lower risk of osteoporosis [53].

After executing these commands in Terminal, the new key assignments appear on the list of Keyboard Shortcuts in the system preferences, meaning you can accomplish the same thing in system preferences without using the command line. The catch, though, is that Target Search Field is not a default menu item, so you don't know exactly what command to enter! Is there a way to list all the possible commands for a given application?
On a related note, I finally found how to get a working keyboard shortcut for Update Songs on "iPod". Those are &^@%#$ curly quotes! Typed option-left bracket and option-shift-left bracket, for the left and right quotation marks respectively.

Wavelength: 7 x 10-7 - 1 x 10-3 m
Frequency: 3 x 1011 - 4 x 1014 Hz
Energy: 2 x 10-24- 2 x 10-22 eV
Infrared (IR) is the closest to visible light we'll get to on this end of the spectrum. At it's shortest wavelength it is just bordering on what we can see with the naked eye. The IR radiation can be broken up further into the following spectrum:
Near Infrared: 0.7µm - 1.3µm wavelength
Short Infrared: 1.4µm – 3µm wavelength
Mid Infrared: 3µm - 8 µm wavelength
Long/Thermal Infrared: 8µm - 30µm
Far Infrared: 15µm – 1000µm
Astronomers divide the spectrum differently, usually as follows [1]:
Near IR: 0.7 µm – 5 µm
Mid IR: 5 µm – 40 µm
Far IR: 40 µm – 350 µm
Mid Infrared and Long Infrared are emitted by an object naturally, while Near Infrared and Short Infrared are reflected off an object.
IR was first theorized by Emilie du Chatelet in 1737 in a paper titled Dissertation sur la nature et la propagation du feu. Her theory was proved correct in 1800 when William Herschel published the first record of experimental proof of IR radiation.
The most common type of IR radiation that you or I would recognize is heat. IR radiation from the Sun provides Earth with 49% [2] of its heat, with thanks to greenhouse gases. Without any of those, no IR heat would be absorbed and slowly released back into our lower atmosphere to keep us at our cozy temperature.
Without IR radiation, we wouldn't be able to use nightvision technology. Both traditional nightvision and thermal imagine use light in the IR spectrum to enhance images in otherwise dark areas. The absorption of IR into clouds and the atmosphere allow our weather satellites to make mostly accurate weather predictions that you end up seeing on the nightly news. In astronomy, IR can be used to measure through clouds of molecules, nebulae, and detect redshifted objects [3].
Blackbody radiation is the natural amount and type of electromagnetic radiation that an object absorbs at any given temperature above absolute zero. At Earthly temperatures, blackbody radiation exists in the IR range [4], as that is the only range on the spectrum that it won't absorb entirely.
Some animals have evolved natural mechanisms that allow them to detect IR light. These animals include pit vipers, pythons, some boas, vampire bats, and some insects. It is unknown the degree to which these animals can sense IR light, but there's no doubt that it must help them hunt prey or avoid predators!

BUTTER: Grade AA closed at $1.5325. The weekly average for Grade AA
is $1.4965 (+.0245).
CHEESE: Barrels closed at $1.8700 and 40# blocks at $1.9025. The
weekly average for barrels is $1.8360 (+.0415) and blocks, $1.8835
BUTTER HIGHLIGHTS: Butter prices are mixed amongst the regions
as prices are good in the Northwest, flat in the Central, and uneven
in the West. Supplies range from lower in the Northeast to sufficient
in the Central and Western regions. Holiday demand has kept
manufacturers busy filling retail orders. Some plants in the
Northeast and West continue to microfix stored butter to keep up with
demand. However, reports in the Central region suggest butter
manufacturing is slower in some plants that are fulfilling cream
contracts to other manufacturers producing high demand holiday dairy
products. Demand for 82% butter has remained good, but butter makers
are focusing on finishing their 80% domestic holiday orders. Export
interest remains good. Bulk butter prices vary by region with the
West from market to five cents under, the Northeast five to eight
cents over market, and Central prices from three cents under to four
cents over the market. The National Dairy Retail Report showed a
national weighted average price for 1 lb. packages of butter at $2.74,
which is two cents higher than a year ago. At the CME Group, Grade AA
butter closed at $1.5325, up 5.75 cents from a week ago.
CHEESE HIGHLIGHTS: Cheese prices moved higher again this week. Spot
sales at the CME Group this week were fairly light with prices moving
higher by week's end. Cheese production schedules are often below
desired levels due to tight milk supplies and competition from other
Class II and IV products. Good holiday orders are pushing prices
higher as buyers look to secure supplies for the holiday buying
season. Block sales are good as cut and wrap operations look to fill
retail orders. Retail advertising for cheese increased from two weeks
ago according to the National Dairy Retail Report. The weighted
average price for the popular 8 oz. shred package at $2.28 per package
was 9 cents higher than last year's price of $2.19. Export sales are
reported as good with August sales of 62 million pounds exported.
That is 40% more than the previous August.
FLUID MILK: Farm milk production across the country is hovering
on either side of the seasonal low point. Some milk processors report
upward trends in farm milk intakes as cow comfort improves. Other
processors indicate milk receipts are steady to decreasing, while
components are increasing. Bottler demand is mostly steady. While
cream demand for ice cream production is lower, sales of cream in to
cream cheese, sour cream, and chip dip operations are increasing.
Butter production is active at many locations to fill recent print
orders. Eggnog production started up at a few plants to allow for
delivery time into retail outlets before Thanksgiving. Fall
harvesting activities continue for corn and soybeans, with frost
and/or wet fields slowing progress in some areas. Forage harvesting
is complete in most areas. Dairy operators are tallying up those
tonnages as well as silage holdings to determine if feed purchases
will have to be made to get through to spring.
DRY PRODUCTS: Nonfat dry milk prices moved higher this week as
contract bases shifted higher and interest in F.O.B. spot loads
persist. Dry buttermilk prices made most gains in the West.
Central/East dry buttermilk dipped 3 cents on the top of that range.
Central/West whey protein concentrate 34% chugged higher on the
strength of increases in F.O.B. spot prices as well as contract price
adjustments. Dry whey prices were steady on the Central mostly. West
dry whey mostly prices inched up on each end that series as active
spot sale activity overshadowed some slight decreases in contract
price bases. Dry whey prices in the East rebounded 3 cents on the
bottom of that range, reflecting improved balance in manufacturers'
holdings. Lactose prices on the mostly held steady although a few
F.O.B. spot loads added 26 cents to the top of the range. Dry whole
milk prices stepped 6 cents higher on each side of the range.

below last year. The national weighted average conventional milk
price for half gallons is $1.65 and for organic half-gallon milk, at
$3.73. The organic-conventional half-gallon price spread is $2.08,
compared with $1.79 in September, the last bi-weekly period data was

For so long I've been weak, stripped down to the bone from all your beatings. But finally I started to build back my flesh, and become strong once again. But as soon as you saw my skin turn soft, and the rosy color appeared back in my cheeks, you struck again. You clung to my skin just long enough to get attached, and then ripped your self away leaving me bare again. You cover your lies with 'I love you' and 'I miss you'. You think that I won't see what you're doing, what you've been doing, but I've finally caught onto your games. Whenever I build myself back up again, however long that will take, whenever my bones are no longer bare but filled with color and tone, I'll be waiting for you. I'll be expecting you, but this time I'll be ready. Ready for your abuse, and ready to not let you anywhere near me. Once I'm beautiful and whole again, that's when you'll be coming. The only difference is this time you'll be the one left bare.
The sweat beaded down the back of her neck and dampened the small of her back. The sun was pounding but the breeze coming off of the lake made it somewhat bearable. She sat there thinking, pondering the past couple of days. They had been filled with chaos and destruction. Finally she had been happy again, truly happy. She didn't have to put on a show for anyone anymore, but then it happened. He came along just like he does in the most inconvenient times. He planted a thought inside her head, not one she would tell anyone else, because maybe she hadn't believed it herself, but it was a thought nonetheless. She knew the hurt was coming because that was the one thing he could be depended upon for, pain, but she chose to push that certainty to the side. Despite the minor set back that he caused- because it was a set back, pain was what followed after he so gently placed himself back into her life and then ejected himself just as swiftly- she had another sorrow lurking around her. She had always been the type to put countless hours of unseen efforts into a relationship, any relationship. This had so carefully been followed out recently, with a friend. But as she looked back on the past week she noticed a shift in the ever growing relationship between the two, it had stopped growing. Once a day apart had left hours of babbling over coffee, but now a week apart had left not one word. It seemed she had been replaced, left broken yet again by another she held so dear. Still she sat pondering, maybe she had over done her analysis- it was an unfortunate habit she practiced quite frequently- and maybe it was just the lonesome nights spent by the lake. Either way the sun still set, the waves still crashed, and her life would still go on. Wether companionship followed or not; this is how she came to be about her life.
-Natalie A. Chapman
I'm proud of my scars, every last one of them
For they define who I am, and where my soul has been
The most recent one was shown on my heart
You see, I don't choose to love you
I love you because if I didn't I don't know what I'd do
Bruises cover my arms, each one tells a different story
My skin is painted black and blue
Misery is m residence, and pain is my bliss
It's a comfortable place to be,
Somewhere between your heart and hell
You've created the deepest scar of all within my heart
This pain never felt so real, this cut wasn't meant not to heal
But the scar will surely remain,
To remind me that I'm beautiful and tomorrow's a brighter day
-Natalie A. Chapman
You couldn't quite call it dark, because it wasn't. It was a dull yellow day, a wet day. A windy day. Water fell from the sky like the tears of a young girls first heart break. The winds danced around the trees and houses, taunting them with every last gust. Would you come tumbling down now? No not now, maybe the next gust around. Windows shattered, cars zoom by. The hot muggy day quickly turned to a cool wet breeze. The sirens speeding up everybody's heart beat. The flashes of lightning lit up the sky, the rolls of thunder pierced the cry. What a marvelous disaster, still beautiful but distrustful none the less. A mouth that runs dry cries out for a drop of rain, but they dare not run out into the storm. Shelter, shelter. Everyone is called to shelter. But the homeless, those without homes, where do they go? Where do they hide from this beautiful disaster?
-Natalie A. Chapman
Her mind started rattling off ideas in all directions. A memory, an image, a common motion was all over analyzed; it was all let loose in her carnival of a mind. Thoughts went up and down, ideas fluttered from ride to ride, and the quintessence of her being was being depicted by a cartoon drawling. She saw everything as something new, in fact something new had captivated her. People she had known all her life looked at her as an abjured version of her self. People who had never known her looked at her as an idiosyncratic being. But she wasn't strange, she wasn't far off; she was mesmerized by this new idea. The one secreting her mind with words and characterizations. What use to be a blue couch was now an azure pallet, maybe one of which had been sat upon by someone of great high-standings, or one that had been accompanied by a murder- considering the redbrown stain just to the left arm. The world around her was being painted color for the first time, and once she had a taste of her new found lifestyle… she could never have enough.
-Natalie A. Chapman
It was an idea so uninformed, unhatched, a mustard seed in the chaos that consumed her brain. Her heart beat raced, increasing with every touch to her soft, pearl like cheeks. This idea was growing, becoming more and more the center of her every thought. It had captivated her mind, it grew as high as a corn stock, sprouting "what if's" in every direction. Her common lifestyle of reoccurring routines wasn't enough anymore, her mundane heart wouldn't beat at the steady pace of habitual life. No, she needed much more. She needed an idealistic idea, a mustard seed of a thought to grow her, and reach her to new unworldly heights. She thought all this up in a matter of seconds, as his palatable lips brushed her cheek. A soft kiss would never be the same. No, she needed much more.
- Natalie A. Chapman
She sat there sobbing into her already damp hands, her tears flowed off of her palms like rain from the clouds. She looked up ever so often to see if anyone was there, just waiting for a sign. Just hoping that somebody would turn around and walk back into the now desolate room. Like the moon waits on the sun, she waited to be dried up. Soaked up by anything that she could.
She felt like her day would never come, her day of recognition, of appreciation. She had been sitting in the same place so long just waiting, praying, for a change. She felt so weak, so so thimble. Her knees buckled and her lips quivered. She could barely keep her eyes open because of the blistering size and tenderness that surrounded them.
Though she was the only one left in the room and the lights had all faded, she continued to stand her ground. Through the cracks in her fingertips and between each glistening tear, she could see the slightest sliver of hope, and hope was the very thing that kept her there.
