Emu and Ostrich
Struthio camelus & Dromaius novaehollandiae
Members of a group of flightless, running Birds (called ratites) that includes the Ostrich, Kiwi and Emu. The Ostrich has long and very strong legs, adapted for rapid running; only two toes with a long neck, nearly bare of feathers; and short wings incapable of flight. The adult male grows to about eight feet high. Ostrich primarily lay their 10 pound eggs in the summer. Males are responsible for the nest and incubating the eggs.
The Emu is a large Australian flightless running bird similar to the ostrich but smaller. They lay dark green eggs and are primarily seasonal laying their eggs from November-March. The incubation time on an emu is 52 days whereas the ostrich is 42 days. Both species can lay 20-40 eggs in a given season.
Interesting Facts:
¨ Males are called cocks, Females are called hens.
¨ The ostrich does not hide their head in the sand - to avoid being seen they lay their heads on the ground.
¨ Emus are the only birds with calf muscles.
¨ The emu has a pouch in its windpipe that is used for communication.
¨ Emu are monogamous.

This weekly Saturday column "Ask Professor Foxy" will regularly contain sexually explicit material. This material is likely not safe for work viewing. The title of the column will include the major topic of the post, so please read the topic when deciding whether or not to read the entire column.
Dear Professor Foxy,
In the spirit of full disclosure, I must be upfront and say that this is not a sex question. It is, however, a relationship one, and I really wanted a pro-woman opinion and didn't know where else to turn:
Sometimes my boyfriend behaves badly (e.g. doesn't consider me in a way I want/need), and sometimes this hurts my feelings. I believe that communication is important in a relationship, so I will usually tell him "I need you to know that when you did XYZ it hurt my feelings because 123." I usually do this level-headed and am able to make a good case. When he sees how his actions have impacted me, he will apologize. Which I appreciate. But, how do I respond to that? Usually when people apologize, we say "Oh, that's ok, don't worry about it," or some variation of that. But I don't want to say that. His behavior was *not* ok, so why would I tell him it was? I don't want to be discount his apology either, or be punitive by saying "well, next time think of not only yourself." I mean, I would LOVE for the offending behavior to not have taken place at all, but reality is that it did. And I want him to still feel comfortable to apologize without being overly condemned when he behaves selfishly in the future. Any advice?
Thanks for any input!
It's really not ok.
Dear IRNO -
Thanks for writing in. Sex and relationships are flip sides of the same coin. How you feel about your boyfriend likely impacts how you feel about sex with him. To draw a distinction is to draw a false line.
It sounds like you two are good at communicating and that you have a pattern that feels comfortable for both of you. I agree, you should not say "it is ok" when it is not. As women, we are taught that we must make situations better, smoother, and prettier and that we should not cause others discomfort even while sacrificing our own comfort and happiness. There is an ingrained mindset of "don't worry about me, are you ok?"
There is no need to grant absolution, the situation has been addressed, he responded appropriately, it is done. Why not simply say "Thank you for apologizing," give him a kiss, and leave it at that? By saying "it is ok" you are actually extending the situation by lieing/downplaying about what happened. You are right, it is NOT ok. There is no need to say it is.
Also, it is ok for him to feel uncomfortable and to think more about his behavior instead of just being forgiven by you. Those uncomfortable moments are how we grow. "If I feel like this now, I can see how she felt when I acted like this." If your boyfriend needs more than in the way of resolving the situation that is for him to bring up.
While your letter does not go into it, I want to bring up one more possible issue. Does his behavior change? Part of the purpose of communicating with him about this behavior is to make lasting change in the way you function as a couple and how he considers your needs. If he consistently repeats the same problem, it may be time for a more indepth conversation.

I'm glad this was posted, because it reminds me again of how much women are conditioned to be people pleasers rather than assertive, particularly when it comes down to sticking up for themselves.
For whatever reason or another, the women who I have ended up in relationships with have often been atypical regarding this matter and have never been shy about expressing their feelings if I've ever said something insensitive or inconsiderate.
But even so, for me, I recognize that with a severe anxiety disorder, I'm already heavy on the feelings of guilt and shame, so I'm often inclined to apologize to rid myself of beating myself up more than I already do. And it's not that I do so specifically to spare myself pain—I'd be inclined to set matters right anyway. Sometimes I over-apologize when I don't need to.
I always took "it's OK" to be shorthand for "it's OK now that you have apologized", meaning you are willing to move on.
I'm worried that the phrase "thank you for apologizing" could be interpreted passive aggressively, as in "I'm glad you apologized, but I'm not willing to move on". I think in either case the response should be long enough to fully convey how you feel about the issue and not be able to be ambiguously interpreted. Two words is definitely too short to do all that.
I agree with professor Foxy's suggestion, I'll add additional options I have used in similar situations. I have in the past expressed forgiveness when that was accurate. I have also acknowledged an apology with "I accept your apology." It marks the apology as appropriate and the heard and the conversation as over.
I was waiting for that last paragraph about whether or not his behavior changes. That seems like a key issue to me and my antenna went up when I was reading this letter. I don't think a person is always obligated to say "it's okay" all the time either. Sometimes you're just not ready and need time to cool down, but there is also more than one meaning to "it's okay." It doesn't necessarily mean "you're behavior was okay" (because obviously a bad action is not made good just because a person apologizes.) It can also mean "I forgive you." And I do think forgiving somebody who realizes their error and is sincerely sorry about is a good thing to do. Except when they're just doing the same damn thing over and over again and going through the same process of contrition to such an extent that the apology just seems hollow. Then I'd really feel less inclined to forgive and less inclined to say "it's okay." That's why I get a distinct vibe that there's some resentment building here if the letter-writer is so often noticing her own reluctance to say "it's okay" and that that could be due to the boyfriend acting like a jerk a) a lot and b) in the same way every time. If someone is repeatedly coming away so unsatisfied from her talk-it-out sessions with her partner, that's a red flag to me. And that COULD warrant a more "in depth conversation."
That's just speculation though. I could be totally wrong.
What about saying "Thanks for understanding how I feel", or something along those lines. That lets him know that you appreciate his effort, but that it is still important to continue to change.
Hope that helps!
Hmm. I don't know. While I understand the reluctance about saying "it's okay", I think forgiveness–expressing it, and receiving it–are really important in a relationship. One big problem I had with my ex in our ten years together was that I never, ever felt forgiven for anything (I'm a woman too, should point that out so this doesn't sound like a male-solidarity response). Apologies would get a sharp "well, I'm sorry you said/did that too" and I would continue to get the cold shoulder for a while. It didn't help that she never apologized for anything, and maybe that's an indication that the words "I'm sorry" had little meaning to her. One can certainly argue that apologies are of no value unless you follow up on them, but it's essential that both partners feel–and act–the same way when it comes to saying sorry, or at least understand and respect each other's take on it. Otherwise, one person may end up feeling eternally on trial with no hope of redemption, and in the long run that makes the guilty party start to claim the victim's seat.
So while Professor Foxy's advice is good, I'd add that the kiss is key. Or, if you're still hurting so much that you can't give one sincerely, then something like "It's really important to me that you apologized, even though it's hard to say 'that's okay' when I'm still feeling bad. But I love you, and things will be all right. Just please don't do that again, babe." I mean, since you have good communication, why not use it to the max?
Of course, if hurting your feelings is something he does on a very regular basis, then you have a problem that can't be solved with apologies and forgiveness.
You could say something like, "It's not okay yet, but it will be." Meaning, I appreciate your apology, I haven't gotten over the matter yet, but in time I will and we as a couple will be okay.
I feel like I've also said something like, "Thank you, that helps," in response to an apology – you acknowledge that the apology means something and is a step forward for you while not going so far as to say that "it's okay" and no wrong has been done or the wrong that has been done is behind you and forgotten, if it's not.
I am very happily married, coming on twelve years now, and together for a couple more. If there is one piece of advice I can give anyone is to always accept apologies if they are indeed sincere. Do not continue to bring it up, even if the situation is bad. (If it's /that/ bad, then maybe that's a signal to end the relationship.)
The easiest way to know if an apology is sincere is to see the results afterward. And, if there's still no progress on that issue, maybe there's a reason other than what you're thinking.
If he forgot your birthday -again-, maybe it's not so much he's a selfish prick but is genuinely bad with dates. My husband doesn't even know how old his mom is exactly, and he loves her unconditionally, so I know forgetting my birthday is something I have to be proactive on. I circle every important date on the kitchen calendar and mark why it's important (like my birthday) and also point out anything circled the night before.
Almost all of my friends are guys (and I have a lot!), plus I have three brothers and a young adult son, and I work in a male-dominated industry. (Yes, I know – A LOT of testosterone!) With every one of them, without fail, be they straight, gay, black, white or gray alien, they all seem to have one thing in common: they all like the facts presented in outlined bullet points, like working off a check-off list. State your issues clearly, and expect an apology and follow up with how you expect the issue to be rectified. If the issue persists, then you can try to figure out why it's just not being fixed. If still no luck, then that's just a point that will probably never be fixed.
Hope that helps!!
A very good question (sounds relevant for many of us) and some good points in the comments. I agree 100% with the need to stop and examine the social conditioning that makes women feel as if they have to "make everything ok" for others AND that the "it's ok" is a nebulous because it can be easily interpreted as "we're ok now that we've had this conversation" or "the behavior is ok."
I have had similar talks with my male partner and male friends/family members and I usually try to say something like "Thank you for being willing and open to talking about this with me. I know it's not easy, but just trusting that we can discuss these things when they come up is one thing I really value about our relationship", which tells them how much it means to me not to have to swallow my feelings/stew in silence because I'm afraid that being heard means being rejected or brushed off and also, I think that it underlines that the communication is as important as the "final result".

Keira Knightley's laptops stolen in London home robbery
Keira Knightley has called in police after her London home was ransacked by burglars while she attended the Rome Film Festival in Italy.
RELATED: Keira & more celebs show some skin
Keira Knightley was promoting her newest movie, "Last Night," at the annual movie event when the thieves targeted her $1.95 million property.
They are thought to have entered Knightley's apartment block through a faulty door and gained access to her home by forcing their way in.
The burglars took two personal laptops, leaving Knightley feeling "violated" and worried about returning to the property, according to Britain's The Sun.

A source tells the publication, "Keira is mortified to think anyone has been rummaging around her personal stuff. She feels violated and doesn't know if she wants to return to the flat."
Police are currently investigating the incident as the 25-year-old actress recovers from the shock on vacation.
A statement from London's Scotland Yard reads, "Officers from Westminster CID (Criminal Investigation Department) are investigating a residential burglary at the flat. It is believed to have occurred between 9am and 9pm on October 26. A forensic team from Westminster CID was dispatched to dust for any fingerprints or shoe marks left behind."

Tue Nov 16, 2010 2:23 pm The Browns will reportedly sign RB/KR Clifton Smith to handle return duties in Week 11.
Fantasy Source Spin: Josh Cribbs' status is in doubt after he dislocated four toes against the Jets last week. Expect Smith to take over on both kickoffs and punts at Jacksonville.

Tue Oct 19, 2010 12:55 pm The Bucs are considering bringing back RB/KR Clifton Smith.
Fantasy Source Spin: Smith was with the Bucs in training camp but failed to make the final roster before catching on with the Dolphins, who waived him after a couple games. Tampa is looking for depth with the loss of Kareem Huggins.
Source: Pewter Report
Tue Oct 12, 2010 8:19 pm Julius Jones reportedly beat out free agent RB/KR Clifton Smith for the fourth running back job in New Orleans Tuesday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Smith is a return specialist and potential third-down back. The "battle" for the job suggests Jones isn't being counted on for more than a very minor role with the Saints.
Source: Profootballtalk on Twitter
Tue Sep 21, 2010 5:11 pm Dolphins waived RB/KR Clifton Smith.
Fantasy Source Spin: The coaching staff apparently decided they couldn't afford to carry a return specialist when he's averaging just 4.5 yards per punt return and 17.3 yards per kickoff return. Davone Bess will likely take over on punts with Patrick Cobbs and Nolan Carroll on kickoffs.
Source: Omar Kelly on Twitter
Mon Sep 13, 2010 10:19 am Newly signed Clifton Smith was the Dolphins' primary kick and punt returner in Sunday's opener.
Fantasy Source Spin: Patrick Cobbs and Davone Bess will just be supporting Smith in the return game going forward. Now healthy, Smith has Pro Bowl upside as a returner.
Source: Palm Beach Post
Wed Sep 8, 2010 11:39 am Dolphins signed KR Clifton Smith, formerly of the Bucs.
Fantasy Source Spin: Smith is listed as a running back, but he won't get any reps there. He's over his concussion issues and should return both kicks and punts for the Dolphins this season.
Source: Omar Kelly on Twitter
Tue Sep 7, 2010 10:53 pm Free agent KR Clifton Smith is reportedly set to sign with the Dolphins.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Dolphins were far from convinced that Nolan Carroll and Patrick Cobbs were the answer on kickoffs returns. Smith is likely to take over punt-return duties from Davone Bess as well. If healthy, he's one of the best specialists in the business.
Source: Jason Wilde on Twitter
Tue Sep 7, 2010 6:43 pm The Dolphins will reportedly work out KR Clifton Smith on Wednesday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Smith visited Green Bay on Tuesday, though the Packers reportedly still have reservations about his concussion issues from last season. If his health checks out, Smith would be an upgrade on returns for either team.
Source: Ben Volin on Twitter
Tue Sep 7, 2010 2:44 pm Free agent KR/PR Clifton Smith will visit the Packers Tuesday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Ironically, Smith lost his roster spot in Tampa Bay when the Bucs claimed former Packers RB Kregg Lumpkin off waivers. No signing is imminent, but the former Pro Bowler's agent said Smith will decide between several offers Tuesday.
Source: CheeseheadTV.com
Sun Sep 5, 2010 5:55 pm Bucs waived KR/PR Clifton Smith.
Fantasy Source Spin: It looks like the Bucs will go with some combination of Micheal Spurlock and Preston Parker in the return game, though Sammie Stroughter can also do both. Smith is only 25 years old and already has made a Pro Bowl, so we've got to think he'll be claimed. The Bucs appear to have tired of his injuries.
Source: Rick Stroud on Twitter
Wed Sep 1, 2010 12:22 pm The Tampa Tribune's Ira Kaufman suspects that KR Clifton Smith is "breathing easier" after the Bucs released Derrick Ward.
Fantasy Source Spin: Smith was reportedly on the roster bubble when he was dealing with a "gout-like" condition in his knee earlier this month. He's since returned to game action and should be locked in as the primary kick returner once again.
Source: Ira Kaufman on Twitter
Mon Aug 23, 2010 8:18 am Bucs KR Clifton Smith sat out Saturday's preseason game with a rare sort of inflammation that has been likened to gout.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Bucs aren't sure what's causing the issues in Smith's knee, but they expect him back on the practice field this week. It's another hurdle for Smith after concussions marred his 2009 campaign. The former Pro Bowl returner may need to prove he's healthy this week just to make the final roster.
Source: St. Petersburg Times
Thu Aug 19, 2010 6:38 pm Buccaneers KR Clifton Smith will make his preseason debut Saturday against the Chiefs.
Fantasy Source Spin: Though Smith seems content that he won't see time at RB, the former Pro Bowl return man should pull ahead of Micheal Spurlock as the team's return man if he can prove that he's 100% healthy. It's a nice comeback story.
Source: Pewter Report
Wed Aug 4, 2010 10:43 am Bucs KR Clifton Smith says he doesn't even think about the concussions that marred his 2009 season.
Fantasy Source Spin: Smith has a lot of heart after suffering multiple serious concussions over the last few years. He's one of the better returners in the game when healthy and isn't looking timid in camp. The Tampa Tribune speculates that a healthy Smith would mean Micheal Spurlock's roster spot is in serious jeopardy.
Source: Tampa Tribune
Thu Mar 4, 2010 4:41 pm The Bucs extended tenders to exclusive rights free agent KR Clifton Smith and CB Elbert Mack.
Fantasy Source Spin: Smith, a Pro Bowler in 2008 as an undrafted rookie, already has big medical concerns after suffering multiple concussions just two years into the league. He's not a factor on offense, but remains a good bet to make the 2010 roster. Mack was Tampa's nickel back last year. The Bucs need an upgrade.

The chip leader was an unknown young professional named Andy Hwang. He came to the final table with 9.5 million in chips, but by the time play was four-handed, he was down to 4.5 million and in third place.
First, Hwang opened the 100,000-200,000 blinds for a raise to 450,000 with Ad 2s, first to act, leading to a call from Haugen with 7s 5s on the button. The player in the big blind, James Anderson, also made the call, and the players went to the flop three-handed.
The flop came Jh 4s 3d, and when Anderson checked, Hwang bet 625,000. Haugen called, both for the value of his draw and with the intention of taking the pot away on later streets if Hwang checked to him. Anderson folded, and the two rivals saw the turn, which came 9d. Hwang moved all in for 3.2 million with just ace high and a gutshot straight draw, leading to a quick fold from Haugen.
The very next hand, Anderson raised the button with Js 8d against Hwang in the big blind. With Ad 5h, Hwang reraised to 850,000, a play he had been making often against Anderson up to that point. Anderson had been folding to Hwang's small reraises, but this time he made a four-bet of just over 1.4 million. Hwang went all in, and Anderson was forced to fold.
In the hand after that, Hwang raised from the small blind with Qd 10d, and Haugen called from the big blind with 10c 4c. Both players started the hand with around 6.5 million, and when the flop came Qc Js 2c, Hwang put out a bet of 450,000. Haugen raised to 900,000, and Hwang made a surprising reraise with his top pair to 2.25 million.
Haugen needed a moment to think, and when he was done he announced that he was all in. Hwang called immediately, showing that he fully believed he had the best hand and was willing to put his tournament life at stake. The board ran out 6h Ad, and in three hands Hwang had gone from 4.5 million to over 13 million, giving him a chip lead he would never relinquish.
Hwang had realized that Haugen would adjust to his recent aggression and would probably be willing to get all the money in with several draw combinations that were well behind Hwang's top pair. The three of us providing commentary in the WPT booth could hardly believe how fast the money got into the middle, but there was never any doubt in Andy Hwang's mind.

IN THE NEWS: TV segment features MCC's world-record setting electric dragster in action
Tell Al Thomas his electric dragster looks humble, and it doesn't faze him. He has been working on cars and teaching auto technology long enough to know better.
The humble looking "Short Circuit," he points out, is "the fastest 192-volt vehicle in the world."
That's no empty boast. The car, built by students at Muskegon Community College, is the official record holder, established only a few weeks ago on a run at Milan Dragway in Milan, Mich.
"We set the record at 12.3 seconds and 109 miles an hour," Al says. "The car will go much faster. These records were set under adverse conditions: 40 degrees, tires were cold. It slipped the tires for the first hundred feet."

Now You Can Get Plastic Surgery on Your Toes
How far would you go to fit into your heels? Photo: Zimbio
The next time you find yourself limping along in a pair of six-inch stilettos, consider your options: you can either trade them for comfy flats…or you can hop into your local podiatric surgeon's office and ask for a toe reshaping. You read that right. Good Morning America reports that a small number of people (mostly women) are electing to get plastic surgery to narrow their "fat toes."
Can you imagine seeing some lady wearing heels taking them off to reveal a pinky toeless foot? And then finding out they removed it on purpose to better fit in shoes? Ew. I feel like these women need to remember that they will eventually need to take those shoes off…

Not since the cold war has the world needed to take a time-out from political posturing and the information game to get beyond the gate keepers and speak directly with these millions of people referred to as "Russia". Not unlike back 25 years ago, we in the west are once again talking about a people as if they do not have a voice and do not have a wide range of opinions and values. And over in Russia, you can bet similar is being done in the media when referring to "the west". Enter the power of the podcast: On today's program I am coming to you from Moscow, the heart of the nation that so many are talking about these days with angry and confused tones. But this is not about Ukraine. Nor is it about Putin really. This is about the city, life, culture, and experience that, as my excellent guest Victor remind us, we have in common with this fascinating and important population.

New Technology That Transforms the Hiring Process
Share By Sachin Shenolikar
It's no secret that the traditional résumé has never been effective in showing a complete picture of a candidate, especially in fields such as customer service and sales. In those jobs, "soft" skills such as personality and ability to think fast are crucial — and can't really be shown on a PDF.
"The hiring manger will often say, 'If only I had seen the candidate before I looked at the resume' and the candidate will say, 'If only I could get into the room, I could sell myself,' says Adam Lewis, CEO of Apploi.
Another big issue: It's always been time-consuming for managers to sift through and evaluate hundreds of résumés for each open position. However, new technology is making life easier for recruiters and job seekers alike.
Apploi has created an app that uses cloud, video, big data, and geo-location technology to streamline the hiring process. Applicants can find open jobs near them with the app's geo-location technology. When they apply for a gig through the app, a system scores them against different criteria set by the hiring manager and then organizes that information. The manager can log in to a dashboard to review the applicants, with top candidates who scored highest being highlighted.
That's a big step toward another big key: Moving important parts of the evaluation that traditionally have been done during in-person interviews — or even after employees have started a job — to earlier stages in the process. An app called Career Sushi, aimed at Millennials and Gen Z job seekers, has incorporated video and graphics to add more substance to an applicant's first impression. Apploi has taken things a step further. A company can create an application that presents an audio/video scenario of an angry customer and then ask candidates to record a response using the app, explaining how they'd handle the difficult person.
"Seeing more of the personality of a candidate upfront is extremely useful," says Lewis. "[Managers] have lots more information to make educated decisions about who to hire."
Recruiters are also using traditional tools such as LinkedIn more efficiently. In years past, many would try to find potential fits for their company through keyword searches of profiles. They also used what LinkedIn career expert Nicole Williams calls the "post and pray" methodology: Posting openings on job boards and then praying that relevant candidates applied. That's a crapshoot, so say the least.
The mentality has now shifted. In addition to applicants, recruiters are also looking for more passive job seekers. Many of them are active on the site, sharing content, commenting on influencer posts, updating their profiles and chatting in groups.
"Roughly 80% of the workforce is not actively looking for a job but is open to conversations about relevant external opportunities," says Williams. "Recruiters must proactively search for, contact, and sell their jobs to passive candidates."
Recruiters are also marketing their company's talent brand (how it is externally perceived as an employer) to attract passive candidates. According to Williams, strong talent brands can reduce the time to hire by up to 50 percent and reduce turnover by up to 24 percent.
LinkedIn's Work With Us tool, which went mobile last year, has helped recruiters efficiently find and contact passive candidates with the appropriate skills and experience for the jobs they're looking to fill. "This targeted approach to recruiting significantly shortens the time-to-hire, saving recruiters money and making them more productive," says Williams.
Combining emerging technologies such as mobile, cloud, and video have created new ways for recruiters to find and evaluate talent. With the hiring process becoming efficient and painless thanks to these apps, the result could be that the traditional résumé is on the brink of extinction.

I think this is awesome to immediately separates the re-active from the proactive not only for the jobseeker but the poster as well.


text: One critical method--semiology or semiotics--appears to have the greatest number of adherents among film critics. As a method of approaching and understanding film, it owes much to a 1974 monograph by Christian Metz, which declares what began as a linguistic and rhetorical discipline and later enlarged itself as an aspect of literary criticism as well to be best suited to approaching film criticism with the appropriate amount of seriousness. Semiotics as applied to cinema, according to Metz, is an elaboration of the symbolic functioning of cinematic "language." Metz, who cites his theoretical debt to the French linguistics expert Ferdinand de Saussure, defines and redefines precisely what the semiotics of the cinema means in various essays, and various critics after him have sought to distill his principal thesis. In one introduction to the semiotics of cinema, Metz writes,

Feb 11, 2013Die Hard 2, which is far and away the best of the big summer action pictures, is an almost perfect blend of suspense, thrills, human drama and, perhaps most important, comedy. [6 July 1990, p.3F]
It's not as crisply directed, and the plot holes are easier to find, but Die Hard 2 is filled with the same sense of good-natured, wisecracking fun that infused the original.
The deployment of the hardware may be extraordinary, but it doesn't overshadow the human dimension of this summer sequel. [4 July 1990]
This is the most cheerfully preposterous film of a jaw-dropping summer, which is not to say it's not fun, it's simply orchestrated Looney Tunes.
A number of scenes have been staged with satisfying kinetic flair, and Willis once again makes an appealing superhero. Yet without that great big booby-trapped skyscraper to hold the action together, the suspense dissipates.
It's not quite as jolting as the high-impact original, but it's got enough explosiveness to blow away the other sequels in this summer's parade of high-body-count blockbusters. [4 July 1990, p.29]
If your idea of a good time is watching a lot of stupid, unpleasant people insult and brutalize one another, this is right up your alley.

Nov 16, 2013Fantastic movie.
It takes all the stuff that was great about the first die hard (christmas time, simple but extremely exciting and engaging story, good character, great acting etc.) and basically does all that again, but puts it into a setting that is new and isn't at all a simple rehash of die hard 1. It's a really great sequel and does pretty much everything right.… Expand
Aug 16, 2013Como la primera, esta es un joyita divertida y graciosa. La idea del aeropuerto es genial, y mantiene un ritmo intenso durante las dos horas. Genial!!
Feb 23, 2013It's a sad commentary, but every year around the holidays I start thinking about John McClain. That is how ingrained media has become in our minds. This week I decided to watch Die Hard 2 for the 8 millionth time, because unlike most sequels, I found it to be better than the first. Not to say that the first isn't a classic film, but the second one has two things the first lacked. First, Director, Renny Harlan, who is the master of action films, completely unappreciated, and a man who has given me hours of excitement. The second thing is the supporting cast, which features the likes of Dennis Franz from NYPD Blue, Fred Thompson of Law n' Order, and of course veteran character actor, William Sadler. Willis once again is brilliant as John McClain and gave the 90's a true action hero! The Die Hard films are the frame work by which all modern action films are compared and if you skipped the second one, because it was a sequel, you're an idiot! This is a can't miss movie for action junkies.… Collapse
Dec 8, 2013Basically a knock-off of the original Die Hard but with one of the most memorable death scenes in film history. Still enjoyable and featuring Canadian actress Sheila McCarthy of 'Little Mosque on the Prairie' fame.… Expand
Jan 1, 2014It is just a pale imitation of its predecessor with similar dialogue, a weaker villain, numbing explosions and half the fun the first film. As a sequel, its much bigger than its original; but better? No way.… Expand

Strand Theater
93 Main Street,
1 person favorited this theater
Built in 1907, since 1916 the building has housed the Strand Theater which had 500 seats.
Operated by Kallet Theatres in 1946, the facade was remodeled in an Art Moderne style by architect Michael J. DeAngelis, who added the black Carrara glass frontage. The plans also included enlarging the Strand Theater to seat 750, all on a single floor.
Recent comments (view all 27 comments)
Always nice to see a recent post on this Michael DeAngelo designed theatre…very unique exterior with the round windows and that shiny vitrolite.
And SchineHistorian would know as she is the expert on Schine theatres!
Another note found in the June 18, 1914, edition of the same paper stated that Fred B. Whiting, the former manager of the Lyric Theatre, was to "erect an open air moving picture theater" in the village that would have an expected seating capacity of about seven or eight hundred. Seems similar enterprises were routinely popping up in vacant lots all across the country during these early years of motion picture exhibition, before air-cooling systems were perfected.
Curiously, this item appeared in the January 11, 1917, edition of the Holley Standard:
"The Lyric theater in Brockport is to pass out of existence. The E Harrison Company have leased the building and expect to remove their clothing business to that location."
Perhaps SchineHistorian (apologies for identifying the wrong gender for her in a previous comment) would know if there was an different Lyric that had operated in town once the changeover was made to the Strand name – or perhaps this was a planned relocation for E Harrison that never happened. Amazing how side-tracked one can become when burying themselves in old newspaper editions! I'm researching a couple of theaters in Holley, NY, and just keep stumbling upon tangential tidbits like this.
Here's a new link to a 1947 trade arcticle describing renovation of the Strand Theatre: boxofficemagazine
Always enjoy reading about this DeAngelis designed theatre and seeing its original art deco interior which is so much like my former theatre, the Grand Theatre in Westfield NY. I hope to visit this theatre this summer.
Kallet Theatres of Oneida, NY owned the theatre until 1989 when it was sold to SJM Entertainment of Syracuse who bought both the Strand and Studio Theatre in Brockport. SJM converted the Strand to a triplex in 1989 utilizing equipment from both buildings to achieve the conversion. Note: Kallet leased the theatres to CinemaNational Theatres (a division of Carrols Development Corp) who operated the theatres from 1974 until 1989. CinemaNational merged with USA Theatres of Boston and later with Loews Theatres of NY before the sale to SJM Entertainment.
I guess Carrara Glass is similar to Vitrolite.
Do wish the photo with this theatre featured the Carrara glass exterior on a bright sunny day without the highway barrels.
Nice to know it is still intact since it is the original design by DeAngelis.

You may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always come back to you. She'll talk as if the characters in the book are real, because for a while, they always are. Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable. If you can only give her monotony, and stale hours and half-baked proposals, then you're better off alone. If you want the world and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who reads."

"When we're incomplete, we're always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on, until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter."

Definition of Josephson junction in English:
Josephson junctionSyllabification: Jo·seph·son junc·tion
Pronunciation: /ˈjōzəfsən, -səf- /
An electrical device in which two superconducting metals are separated by a thin layer of insulator, across which an electric current may flow in the absence of a potential difference. The current may be made to oscillate in proportion to an applied potential difference.
More example sentences
- If MgB2 does have the properties Cardwell suggests, it could be used to improve microwave devices and Josephson junctions, effectively superconducting transistors.
- The gap between the two superconducting layers in a Josephson junction is called the 'weak link'.
- The work reported in Science creates qubits from superconducting circuit elements called Josephson junctions.
1960s: named after Brian D. Josephson (born 1940), British physicist.

All is (joomla) plugin driven, so completely SEF friendly. For developers: SimpleCaddy plugins are easy to create and integrate so you can have the paymenty gateway or shipping solution you dreamed of.
New: Downloadable content support: define your product as downloadable and SimpleCaddy makes sure the product has been paid for before anyone can download it.
Paypal returns still mark your orders as "Paid".
Paypal is delivered as a standard plugin so that other payment methods can be presented on the same page.
Taxes can now be defined per destination and are inmplemented as a joomla plugin, all configurable from inside SimpleCaddy. You can set taxes for specific destinations to be different from others.
Shipping uses a simple points system.
The Joomla standard Extra Fields are used a Custom Fields in SimpleCaddy. So you can use Joomla to gather your necessary info about your clients.
Carts can be shown anywhere in your site, with individual css if you like.
To overcome the difficulties of multiple configurations and options in your plugin calls, an editor-extension button is also included in the package.
The principle of simply put a button in a content page is really ingenious. You want a special page for a special product which looks different from the others? No problem. You need two products on one page? Easy! You don't want "No image available" for some products? Get this in minutes.
You're completely free in design and functionality!
A big point: You can create as many user data fields as you want - so it is easy to create different invoice and delivery address and other special things. So I have a field "customer id" and when you don't want prepayment, it is checked by SC internally. Every field has an additional check function which is called during checkout to check for valid parameters. These functions are very easy to add.
Onother big point: it's easy to create your own shop e-mail by simply put special words together with the text in a content page. So you're completely free here, too.
Of course there are some missing parts: Pure-text e-mails, some destroy my template by clear:both and so.
My wish would be a "universal shipping function" which is called during checkout like this:
function UnivShip ($cartarticlearray, $userdata)
In this function one can look at all the cart articles and distill the shipping destination (for example) and calculate the shipping costs.
Such a function would give the maintainer the freedom of creating every special shipping costs he wants.
SC is so few code (I think, it's 1/10 of VirtueMart) - I only took half a day to know where to change what I need.
Really a great job, Henk! :-)
The only issue I had was that it breaks W3C validation. The code produced by the module/plugins is not valid - my homepage was valid until the Shopping Cart was shown, then it failed by 16 errors (mainly due to unclosed tags and none-escaped ampersands). Not a huge issue, but one that was enough for me to look at and implement an alternative solution.
This is the most useful extension i ever ran across!
I'm a website developer and when people have asked me before to create an e-store, i hated it because i can not stand virtue mart, it's too complicated and has way too many things i don't need.
This is simple, works beautifully and gives me what i want and nothing more and it will save me many, many hours.
I am setting up a small business, and this is easy to use and integrates with my site perfectly. I wanted the flexibility that Simplecaddy provides - i.e. I didn't want to be faffing about with a large e-commerce site.
Easy to use, and to customise.
2 thumbs up! Thank you so much :)
At least it is not available (or not clear at the SimpleCaddy control center)...
Blind or not, you did not *read* the principle of SimpleCaddy. SimpleCaddy provides a plugin for your *content* to become the description of your products. This is described on http://atlanticintelligence.net, http://demo15.atlanticintelligence.net, here on the JED, in the forum on http://atlanticintelligence.net and many more places.
In this way all the layout and all the possibilities of a Joomla content is at your disposal to describe a product.
Mind me for asking, is there any way to remove the product code, price/unit, qty and total column?
Because I am using this module for enquiries...where the user can add enquiry to enquiry cart (aka shopping cart)..
Please advise. Thank you so much...
Thank you for your comment. And Yes there are many ways to configure the appearance of SimpleCaddy, as well as ways to add fields for inquiries. Post your questions in the forum on our site and we'll respond with more details!
My client only wanted a system to allow visitors to add products to a "wishlist" and then submit. They will call the visitor back to discuss their needs and handle the order on the phone.
The idea is that you create your products with a name, description, price and you can add options if you wish.
You then create a standard Joomla! article with full details of the product. You can include photos, videos, flash, or anything else that you can put in any other Joomla! article.
Use the simplecaddy plugin to link this to the shopping cart. The web visitor will see buttons to order the product.
In my case I made a bunch of changes to the CSS and I also changed the labels in the relevant language file to suggest "Add to Shortlist" rather than "Add to Order".
If you find this component useless, then you're doing it wrong. Either read the instructions more carefully or abandon it. But giving a negative review is a bit like complaining that the car you bought is rubbish because it sinks when you drive it into water.
I do think the author's demo site could be better, mind. It wasn't obvious to me how simple and useful this component was and you would expect the author's own demo to really show you this.
Thank you. I couldn't have said it better. In fact, the demo site (demo15.atlanticintelligence.net) will see a huge update when the next release will be out. A complete demo as well as more documentation will be included.
Apparently you have missed the point, everywhere. SimpleCaddy is free, no need to buy it. Your descriptions are in your content, not in the product names. Four choices in the main control panel are currently more than enough for what the component does, more are being added for extended features. If it does nothing, then I suppose you haven't taken a look at it more closely than installing, looking and discarding it. If you are happy with Virtuemart, by all means! Although your previous comment on Virtuemart makes me wonder...
Your comment of December, 17, 2008 on Virtuemart :
I have been trying to use this on several sites for weeks now and everytime I manual install or automatic all's I get after installing everything is a blankwebsite and the backend the component is blank as well.
I'm not sure how it made Editors Pick. If you check out the forum they never answer anyone's support question
Let me state that VirtueMart is also an excellent product, but not for the same users/public as SimpleCaddy.
Now... I was searching for some EASY solution for my clients website, that enables customers to make orders on-line WITHOUT any registration. Lucky me! I've found that one.
-orders without registration (this may be considered as disadvantage... but for lot of us this is a big +)
-basic Joomla! content as shop articles - you can create ANY content and add shop buttons and cart info without restrictions and hours spent on configuration (still thinking about VM...)
-I really love the idea of KISS - keep it simple stupid. this component (module & plugins) is 100% kissed.
now some cold water:
-if we use content as articles why not to relate it via component with the adding to cart capability? I mean: why to use plugin to parse content {prodcode=""}? it would be easier if we could choose some articles section as a default cart content and use all articles in it as shop products. in configuration panel we could only choose which section & articles are available for shopping...
well... that's all. really love that one.
SimpleCaddy fits the bill perfectly. It's plain, which is fine as I'm a web developer and am pretty sure I can jazz the look up a bit.
1)the stock limit is not working, user still may proceed the order even the stock zero.
2)the check out field, we can create it no problem, but you can't auto ready the new field data sent to user and owner.
-i think this all is involve simple editing. sorry for my bad English.
A better place for this would have been the forum on atlanticintelligence.net so you would have some solutions...
I think - if the author add this function to joomfish - then all will be fine and it will work in multi-language too.
Since YOU are the one creating the custom fields and their appearance... I would have some difficulty providing a translation for them.

Parenting by Design - Sept. 18
The great reward
2 Cor 3:18: "And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit" (NIV).
As Christians, our goal in life is to be transformed to be more like Christ. To aid us, God provides the Holy Spirit, who directs us when we surrender our will and submit to His guidance. That seems pretty simple, so what stops us?
Well, the world seeks our transformation too, but into something quite different. It encourages us to be self-centered, rather than Christ-centered. It wants us to grow and develop independence from God and a unique identity through a relentless pursuit of money, power, beauty, and fame. That's exhausting!
The path to "ever-increasing glory" leads to peace if the Spirit is our guide. The path to material glory leads to emptiness in the end. Help your kids understand that principle and you may relieve them of some of the exhaustion and disappointment of chasing the wrong goals.
"For my yoke is easy and my burden is light" (Matt 11:30).

Customer Reviews
1 Item(s)
- Great Review by Richard
Price Value Quality
The least important aspects first: the assembly of this DVD is of higher quality than I'd expected, with a consistent presentation and good slow-motion capture throughout. However, navigation is sore hampered by the inability to seek to an arbitrary position: one can only fast-forward and rewind, or jump by roughly 20-minute segments from one chapter to another.
More to the point: I enjoyed the introductory lecture though it was heavy on history and light on explanation of technique. The lecture, though, ends some few minutes into the DVD and represents the last spoken word in the product. Clearly the intention is to provide language-neutral instruction by a show-not-tell process, but one sentence advising the student to turn the wrist this way or change grips that way would have gone a long way.
The "basic techniques" section is mis-named. Basic Bo techniques should focus on distinct strikes and blocks and the methods to practice both; these are instead a seemingly random small section of not-too-fancy combinations. Not worthless, certainly, but neither a good primer on basic technique.
The katas offered are solid: a good compromise between traditional strong bo technique and some more modern flashy spins--probably landing a little on the Traditional side. The katas correctly repeat and reinforce the misnamed Basic Techniques section, indicating that some thought was applied to designing them.
There is only one fall to practice; a good one, yes, but curious.
The majority of the video represents bo-versus-sword; there is in fact only one bo-versus-bo technique presented, and it's merely a warm-up practice step. The bo-versus-sword throws are all competent and well demonstrated, though Sensei Isidro seems more interested in demonstrating how much he can hurt the Uke once he's already down rather than how the bind or throw was accomplished--unnecessary and uninformative, not to mention a bad practice to be instructing others.
Overall I found the DVD a little disappointing but still usable. There are aspects I hope to take from this DVD and apply in practice.

as well as physical disruption by thermals or irregular air currents found in most large installations. At the right time of the day, more humans will be more vulnerable to a respirable aerosol threat in an enclosed space than outside, and indoor "weather" will almost always favor the attacker. Fortunately, however, enclosed spaces can be more easily provided with collective artificial protection than open spaces.
In view of the comparative simplicity and advantages to the attacker in the indoor scenario, as well as the richness of potential defensive responses, the committee focused most of its attention on detect-to-warn technologies for this scenario. However, it also considered the applicability of these technologies to the outdoor release scenario.
The committee found that Task 4 was the most challenging. This is because most of the technologies discussed in this report are not yet mature enough to support a discussion of specific materials, system design, or manufacturing issues. However, for the more mature technologies discussed, the committee attempted to highlight the key enabling technologies that will facilitate their deployment as effective detect-to-warn sensor systems.
Looking beyond the tasks assigned by DTRA, the committee also notes that the overall system to counter potential biological agent attacks must balance the advantages and limitations of detect-to-warn systems with other alternatives for protecting people. The best overall biodefense architecture will likely be a system-of-systems that includes not only detection systems but vaccines, therapeutics, collective protection, and other means of protecting personnel in facilities and installations. The analysis and balancing of these major defensive components is as essential as the pursuit of the promising detection-based architectures addressed in this report.
Although the United States could some day be faced with such "designer" agents as bacteria containing genes coded for new virulence factors, viruses designed to target cell populations that they ignore in nature, or small, bioactive natural molecules not currently on any threat list, many of the principles discussed in this report will still apply 50 years from now. Infection and effective doses will remain the same. Most biological threats will be neither volatile nor dermally active; therefore, unless the agents are easily spread from person to person, the attacker will most often find it necessary to disseminate them in particles small enough to hang suspended in the air long enough to be inhaled by the intended victim in quantities large enough to cause disease.
For outdoor releases, weaponeers may achieve breakthroughs in ultraviolet protection that will allow stabilization of bacteria, viruses, proteins, and peptides, but the sun's heat will always spawn thermals and winds that move particles along with them, lending uncertainty to the intended cloud trajectory. Resting humans will still ventilate to obtain oxygen and expire CO2 in volumes ranging from 5 to 10 liters per minute. The cost and effectiveness of the sensors, the configuration of the facilities they protect, and the threat itself will continue to evolve. The most stable variable in this complex equation may be the human body and the life we seek to protect.
In the future, it will be necessary to make hard decisions regarding the protection of humans from biological threat agents. The purpose of this study is to assist homeland defense officials, hardware and policy developers, and, specifically, program managers within the Department of Defense to understand key state-of-the-art technologies, barriers, and enablers that might lead one day to effective biosensor systems for protection of buildings and installations.

Christine: Second to last bingsu. Eaten with Sejin, my boss. This bingsu was fantastic. It was a very simple bingsu but the dduk is what made it. Also, the red beans that were in this bingsu had a little resistance which was nice. I ate this right after a spicy curry dinner so the milk in the ice was very refreshing.

Digital Junk Food Marketing and African American Youth/Infographic by CDDSubmitted by demedia on Mon, 09/22/2014 - 20:11
Youth of color are a key focus for digital marketers, especially for fast-foods and beverages linked to the youth obesity epidemic. The digital targeting of African American and Hispanic youth is growing, and uses a full array of sophisticated mobile, geo-location, social media and other cutting-edge marketing strategies. Food and beverage marketers should adopt practices that stop unfair and irresponsible digital marketing practices. The FTC and State AG's should call for safeguards.
Is Apple the digital "Trojan Horse" that enables greater data collection? Its use of "behavioral targeting"Submitted by demedia on Fri, 09/19/2014 - 13:19
Apple's privacy announcements are a positive step. But we cannot accept they don't know--and aren't taking advantage of--the dramatic changes transforming financial (and health) decision-making due to the convergence of our digital lifestyle and Big Data-driven society. We believe Apple is repositioning itself to be a "middleman" between its customers and partners--which are the banks, credit card companies, retailers, fast food restaurants and health services. The business for Apple, Google and practically everyone else is to collect as much data on

This is something the FTC and other regulators should also review. Here's the excerpt from the
