In Communication system, the system capacity and performance are adversely affected and degraded by interference. Hence, power control plays a prominent role in an interference-limited system, which increases the efficiency by mitigating the adjacent and co-Channel interference in the system. In this paper, primarily power control is said to be used in maintaining the acceptable Carrier to Interference Ratio (CIR) by meeting some Quality of service (QoS) requirements Objective function that is defined as maximum channel capacity in a power constraint scenario. The signals in a radio channel undergo different propagation effects like reflection, refraction, scattering and shadowing. Hence, the distribution of users across subcarrier groups as well as their transmission powers within a given cell has a significant effect on how users and power are accordingly distributed elsewhere in the network to maximize the capacity of the system thereby enhancing its performance
This paper presents an improved design of voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) utilizing the three differential cell CMOS inverters for forming the ring oscillator. The differential cell reduces the power supply fluctuations impact on the oscillator jitter while the negative feedback from frequency to voltage converter reduces the jitter at high frequencies. Finally the proposed model is designed using CMOS 0.18um foundry technology and simulated using P-Spice software. The result shows that the proposed design improves the jitter attenuation at different offset frequencies up to 40dB
A Smart City is the integration of technology into a strategic approach to sustainability. 21st Century has brought with it a new global trend of "sustainable urban development" and this concept adds new dimensions to urbanization which require a quick need to upgrade existing cities. The concept of a smart city is a relatively new one. Throughout the years, with the significant contribution from various technologies like computer science, information technology, remote sensing, advance multimedia world etc, GIS evolved from traditional geographer's or cartographer's tool for surveying and planning to a rapidly expanding primary technology for understanding our planet and related geospatial opportunities to foster a sustainable world. This paper describes smart city projects in India and thoroughly explores the existing and extended capability of GIS to include modeling and visualization in order that decision makers will be able to
Routing in Wireless Sensor Networks has to take into account the limited battery resources of the nodes. Sensor nodes can also be powered by other energy sources like solar energy. This paper provides a review of Environment monitoring using Wireless Sensor Networks. The issues related to environment sensor networks is highlighted. The real time applications in environment monitoring is presented with emphasis on energy conservation. Furthermore in this paper we address the problem of scavenging energy using solar powered devices.
This paper presents a systematic approach to designing negative-resistance and Colpitts oscillators using p-HEMT transistor. Various models such as, common source and common gate configuration in negative-resistance oscillators, common source series feedback in Colpitts oscillator is selected to analyze the output power and stability presented by the p-HEMT transistor. These oscillators are designed at 2.45 GHz frequency for which we find application in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. In this paper, these designs are studied and tested, with their results analyzed below. Further, study proved that the Colpitts oscillator designed gave more output power and stability than the negativeresistance oscillators
Even a small transition delays and little faults create major concern in digital circuits. It Produce greater impact on not only for simple memory but also for most of the memory applications. This paper presents an error-detection method for difference-set cyclic codes with majority logic decoding. Majority logic decodable codes are suitable for memory applications due to their capability to correct a large number of errors. However, they require a large decoding time that impacts memory performance. The proposed fault-detection method significantly reduces memory access time when there is no error in the data read. The technique uses the majority logic decoder itself to detect failures, which makes the area overhead minimal and keeps the extra power consumption low. The proposed method detects the occurrences of single error, double error ,triple error in the received code words obtained from the memory system.
Cooling tower is an important part of power plant. The efficiency of power plant is directly depends on the effectiveness of cooling tower. In cooling tower scheduled maintenance and shutdown maintenance is a problem which affects its effectiveness and performance of cooling tower. In cooling tower shutdown maintenance required in every 2 to 3 year periods at this period the whole plant will be shutdown, and require 28 to 35 days maintenance so that cooling tower will be in its best working condition. In every cooling tower manufacturer provide the scheduled maintenance check list so that the worker will perform their maintenance as per given instruction. In present work optimization of shutdown maintenance strategy is done so that the time elapsed in maintenance will reduce and the requirement of man power will be reduced.
Gray level Slicing is to highlight a specific range of gray values. Power Adaptation methods are presented for gray level slicing approaches. Power Adaptation methods aims in optimization of the resulting bit error rate by gray level slicing without preserving background and gray level slicing with background. This paper gives us an achievable increase in the proposed method rather than the conventional method with a better quality and the bit error rate is also optimized in proposed method rather than the former method with acceptable quality.

TALLULAH, La. (AP) - Tallulah's City Council has put off choosing an acting mayor to finish the late Mayor Eddie Beckwith Jr.'s term.
Councilman Tommy Watson says several members had questions and want advice from the state attorney general's office. He tells The News-Star that the council decided Friday to consider the matter at its April 10 meeting.
Beckwith died Thursday. He had been among candidates for an April 5 election.
Qualifying now will continue through Tuesday, with the mayoral election May 3. Four Democrats qualified earlier; a fifth entered the race Friday after qualifying reopened.
Beckwith's term expires June 30.
His body will lie in repose Monday at City Hall, with visitation Monday evening at Greater Mount Olive Baptist Church. His funeral will be Tuesday evening at Tallulah Madison Community Center.

I tried it out for my 30 year class reunion and it held up even in humidity! I did what I rarely do, and slept in my makeup and still looked fabulous when I woke up! I love this product! Date published: 2014-10-20 Rated 5 out of 5 by ari_xo from Great, but smells bad. I actually love this product! It just smells bad. Aside from that. my eyeshadow and lipstick stay pretty good! Date published: 2014-10-13 Rated 5 out of 5 by JennRoughgarden from It really works! This has some miracle ingredient! This is my eye makeup after $15 hours of wear after work. It still looks perfect. I used the day and night eyeshadow palette and the eyelid primer then out a layer of the lock and seal over top. I bought half off for $1.50, I will be buying more. Date published: 2014-10-07 Rated 4 out of 5 by hipsfromhelll from Patience & Practice Makes Perfect I've only used this a few times, but I'm in love with it already. At first it was a little difficult to deal with . . . but now I've found it's the best thing for straight glitter application. Date published: 2014-09-20 Rated 5 out of 5 by Elise from A MUST HAVE I was on the market for something to keep my eyebrows in place. Since I have very thin brows, I use a lot of powder and eyebrow gel to draw them on. But they always managed to smudge if I scratched them or sweat too much; I hated having to be super careful while performing everyday tasks. So I bought this and PROBLEM SOLVED!I apply my brows like I normally do (NYX eyebrow gel and some BH cosmetics brow powder) and then I clean up with concealer, and then I use the brush included with the lock and seal to apply. I pour 2-3 drops into the little cap thingy and soak it into the brush, then I just pat the brush over my eyebrows (careful not to get it on my skin or else it puts this weird layer of shiny product that can flake off). Then I take a spoolie and comb it out to make sure it doesn't look to flat and they stay all day long! Even with swimming and sweating and sleeping. They don't budge. It's even hard to get off with my makeup remover wipes! Love love love this stuff. I will never stop purchasing. Date published: 2014-09-19 Rated 5 out of 5 by Snowy from An essential Apply this product before after eye lotion and before applying under eye coverup with powder. No more raccoon eyes, ever with non water proof makeup. Only issue is the bottle: keep it upright otherwise it will leak. Date published: 2014-09-14 Rated 5 out of 5 by Chanteuse71 from Why didn't I find this sooner? AMAZING! I had been looking for something that would keep my foundation from smearing. I read the reviews and noticed that most were using it for their eyeshadow or liner, but at the price, I figured why not? I played around with the number of drops I needed to mix with my foundation (it ended up being around six) and mixed it with the included brush in a small disposable cup (the little pot included with the product was way too small for my needs but probably perfect for shadow or liner). I then used the brush to initially apply my foundation (since a lot was actually in the brush), then blended well with my fingertips. It didn't make my foundation sticky at all. I just had to mix my foundation and the Lock & Seal very well.Holy moly! The end result was my foundation's staying power was *almost* as good as that of Revlon Colorstay (which I've been using for over 20 years now) and for the price, it's incredible! A definite must-have in my makeup bag! Date published: 2014-09-09 Rated 5 out of 5 by JD2013 from AMAZING!! I buy a couple of these at a time and put then in a tiny spray bottle and after I complete my eye makeup I spray it on. I went into a chlorine pool and the make-up did not run or fade AT ALL. Date published: 2014-09-09 Rated 5 out of 5 by Beee from It pops the color out! Bought in a local store on Curacao, bit more expensive $5. Totally worth it! Lock & seal above, middle just the mac eyeshadow, below with eyeprimer mineral! You can see how a dull color finally pops out! Date published: 2014-09-06 Rated 3 out of 5 by Katieiva07 from Like it.. Not love It good at helping loose eyeshadow stay in place ... I don't use it daily ..it's good for the price Date published: 2014-09-05 Rated 5 out of 5 by gfjchs from My eyeshadow sticks like glue! I got this a week ago and I tried it with my Elf eye shadow. The only problem was that I didn't realize that it would intensify my eye shadow so much! I put it on a little too dark but it had already dried and rubbed a bit thinking I could lighten it a little but it wouldn't come off! Practice with the colors you want and when you get it right, it will stay on! Date published: 2014-09-05 Rated 3 out of 5 by nobodyinparticular from Overall, It's Well Worth the Price When I first got mine, some of the liquid spilled into the packaging. BUT! it was an easy clean-up and has not leaked since. It's effective, simply. The packaging is the only issue that I have, and this is because it could easily be much better. The nozzle gets messy and the product comes out sometimes in ways you wish it didn't. The brush is pretty mediocre, but I keep it anyway because I dirty up a lot of my other eyeshadow brushes and it's a clean one that's just hanging around the neighborhood.The small transparent holder is a great addition and I am very glad that elf added it to the set-- it's exactly the kind of thing that you would want for your routine, should it not be included to begin with. I REALLY wish it could be attached and detached from the bottle, though. It doesn't seem like that would be a very hard thing to do, as far as manufacturing dictates. It's just sitting on my dresser looking a bit idiotic, otherwise.Even so, this was a great deal and I use it almost every morning. I even bought two more.Go for it, my child. Date published: 2014-08-25 Rated 5 out of 5 by KayPerez from Amazing product , I'm impressed I Love this product , its a must have especially if your a eye brow Perfectionist like me . lol my eye brows always have to be on point . and this product makes them stay in place! no joke and all you need is 2 drops one drop for each eyebrow . You literally feel it setting on eyebrows and drying , sets them perfectly in place and makes them stay all day! i use this product after i'm finish doing my eye brows or sometimes il use it before i do my eye brows to tame my eyebrow hairs , while brushing them and then il use a little bit more when im done my eye brows to completely set them . but i def recommend this product , its amazing for eyebrows and more! . I actually made a awesome setting spray using this product i used a couple drops of the " lock & seal " & some of " Mac's Mineral water Fix Plus " , Which made the best setting spray! . the only problem with this product i have is that sometimes it can leak out if its not put down properly or you get a bad container . btw im oily-normal combination skin . I am also using 3 elf products in this picture . that i will also be doing a review on . ( Elf Mineral Lipstick in Natural Nypmh , Elf Contour ,Blush and Bronzing Duo & The Lock &seal ) Date published: 2014-08-19 Rated 5 out of 5 by Tiff from This is THE best I bought this on a limb because my makeup tends to smear halfway through my work day. I didn't actually expect this product to work as well as it did. Not only did it stay during the crazy summer heat, but it still looked fresh after a 10 hour shift! You'd be crazy not to get this!!!! Date published: 2014-08-13 Rated 4 out of 5 by kwebs01 from Makeup Lock & Seal I love love it, makes my eye make last for hours. Easy to use. Date published: 2014-08-09 Rated 5 out of 5 by RaChello from Works Wonderfully Absolutely amazing product. I stopped wearing eyeliner a few years back because no matter what I did, my eyeliner would eventually smudge or run around my eyes. I was constantly having to do touch-ups throughout the day. I was the type of person that could not live without eyeliner and after I had my son, this really became a hassle. But now thanks to this product I am now able to wear eyeliner again! I was stunned to find something that actually worked.I put my eyeliner on my top lid then dip the brush into the product and dab it across. It's super easy and convenient. It works wonderfully on my top lid. However, it hasn't been as successful on my waterline. That area still seems to smudge. My eyes are watery quite often, so it may just be due to that. Either way, product is definitely worth it! Date published: 2014-07-26 Rated 5 out of 5 by mombert3 from Really Works I have used this product all week and the temperature and humidity has been above normal. Keeps my eyebrows in place and the highlighter on my cheeks all day. Love this. Date published: 2014-07-12 Rated 5 out of 5 by akPhilly from Fantastic mixing medium! I've tried different mixing mediums, & even have tried making my own & this stuff is seriously the best! I have some loose pigments that I like mixing with it to make eyeliner, & before the problem I'd have is that it'd seem to 'bleed' if that makes any sense, like the line wouldn't stay crisp looking, or when it dried, as the day went on it would flake off. With this, I don't have either of those problems, & I can finally use my pigments as eyeliner! Stays put all day too! Date published: 2014-07-06 Rated 5 out of 5 by Nakikke from Locked and Loaded I have had this product for a while but I have only used it a couple of times. Now that it is hot outside, I have found this product to work very well when having to wear a full face. I have used it to "prime" for face, eyeshadow, and to help lip liner stay or lipstick to not bleed. My makeup stays on longer and a little goes a long way with this product. It didn't irritate my skin but becareful around the eyes and don't dip the brush too much. Date published: 2014-06-23 Rated 5 out of 5 by Bleaden from Awesome! This stuff really does help my eyeshadow and lip stick/stain last longer. It also intensifies the eyeshadow. I used a dark brown eyeshadow all over my lid and then used the same color, but with the lock and seal, and put it into the crease. It looked way more intensified. The gold color I usually put on the inner eye usually fades after a few hours, but not after using this.After the first use, I suggest running the brush under some water before every use. I washed it off after the first time I used it, but when I used it the next day, I scratched my eyelid because the liquid dried on the brush and made it hard/stiff. Date published: 2014-06-06 Rated 5 out of 5 by pamela from This stuff is awesome! I mix a couple of drops with my foundation and it stays on all day long without having to do touch ups. I was hesitant at first because of it's sticky, glue like feeling but now I use this everyday. I've never purchased anything quite like this stuff. :) Date published: 2014-05-28 Rated 5 out of 5 by DesiM from Most amazing stuff for very oily skin!!! My skin is extremely oily and I have very sparse eyebrows that I have to draw on daily. If I don't lock them down with this they're literally all over my face within a couple hours, eww! The secret to this stuff is to PAT or DAB on. If you try to spread it otherwise, it will mess your powdered makeup up pretty bad. I seriously can't live without it!! I do prefer a smaller brush than the one it comes with, however, it does work in a pinch. Date published: 2014-05-21 Rated 5 out of 5 by xxtretrexx from also Awesome for Glitter! i just bought this a few days ago used it on my lid and lips and i was very satisfied that it stayed all day... i also used it for glitter, so that it can stick to my lid and it worked so well... a little to well (lol). As a makeup artist, i will defiantly use this on clients. Also, this should be in every makeup kit. Date published: 2014-05-19 Rated 5 out of 5 by DiorDoll777 from I want more!! I love this! It works very well! I actually put it in a spray bottle to set my entire face. It's way better than Set & Fix or Myst & Fix spray... Can't remember the name of it. But this is way better! They should sell it as a spray! Date published: 2014-05-13 Rated 5 out of 5 by JLauren from It Works! Love This for Lips I bought this product a few months ago and have only used it a few times since. I have yet to try it on my lids (e.l.f.'s mineral primer has done such a good job, I haven't really felt the need to), but I use this every time I want to do a bold lip, especially red. While this has always been a rare makeup treat for me, I'm doing bright and bold lips more and more because of this product -- it seriously works, and between this and a liner, my $1 red lipstick lasts hours, which I didn't think was even possible. So looking forward to trying this out with the rest of my makeup during the hot and humid Philly summer. Still not sure how I feel about the brush... I think I'd rather stick with my own, as the small handle seems unwieldy. Date published: 2014-05-09 Rated 5 out of 5 by Nikkbee from Use it all the time This is a great versatile product. I use it to foil eye shadows, turn pigments into eyeliners, for glitter, and on my lid to make non pigmented eyeshadows pop. I love it!. But if it gets into your eye it can sting. Date published: 2014-05-04 Rated 5 out of 5 by fitfabfro from It really works- no more eyeliner smudging! I stopped wearing eyeliner (upper and lower) for a long time because in a matter of hours, I would have raccoon eyes from the liner smudging to the bottom of my eyelids!! *YIKES* I tried EVERYTHING, including "waterproof liners", but the same thing would eventually happen (yes, I even tried the Aqua line MakeUp Forever eyeliners- no go!). I followed a commenters advice, I place 3 to 4 drops in the clear small container, then I dab/soak one flat side (including the tip) of the brush. I then DAB (not smear or swipe) the soaked FLAT side of the brush on my eyeliner, or eyeshadow..gently dabbing. I then wait for it to dry (just a few seconds), and DONE! I actually get to wear eyeliner again and I'm absolutely delighted to do so. I used it this morning (7am) for my cateye liner look, and it's now 5p and NO raccoon eyes! I've got to stock up on this stuff. Definitely worth it! Date published: 2014-04-25 Rated 5 out of 5 by Christi from Great for All-day Looks I bought this with a few other items and it is awesome. It works great as a top coat to keep shadows in place all day and as a mixing medium with shadows to create great pigments. It dries quickly and lasts all day. It will make your brush a little stiff, but it washes out of the brush fairly easily. Great product. Date published: 2014-04-19 Rated 5 out of 5 by kimei18 from I love it!!! I cannot go out w/out it. I use it for my eyebrows & omg it wrk so well. My eyebrows always disappeared since I started using gel & not pencil. I applied this after & last me all day. I wouldn't recommend using it on ur waterline bc it stings. Date published: 2014-04-17 Rated 5 out of 5 by Rach31 from Works very well! When I first got this, it told me to put it on by applying the eye shadow with it. That way worked very well, except that it was making my eye shadow wet and not the usual texture... So I put it on after I applied my eye shadow. Works very well! and it comes off fairly easy! Win Win!

This butternut squash and cranberry gratin is creamy, cheesy and perfectly crunchy on top. You'd never guess it's dairy free!
When it comes to Thanksgiving, I'm pretty sure my family might be the only one in country that couldn't care less if the typical creamy mashed white potatoes weren't on the table. In fact, I can think of many years where mashed potatoes never even made an appearance. They're delicious, no doubt, though a bit boring and "normal". I'd much rather dig into some squash or sweet potato side with a bit of flair for the holiday and leave the plain jane mashed potatoes for everyday.
So today, we do flair in the form of a {vegan} butternut squash and cranberry gratin using GO Veggie!TM plain cream cheese alternative (to add creaminess) and their mozzarella shreds (for that cheesy topping every gratin should have).
Accommodating special diets during the holidays can be hard so I was really happy when this gratin came out creamy, cheesy and exactly like you'd expect a gratin to taste. It's still decadent, just minus the dairy. For those avoiding it, you'll be a rockstar and for those who don't have any special dietary needs, they'll never even know the difference as they dig in at the table.
This is worth the spot on the Thanksgiving table. Move over, mashed potatoes.
- 1½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 large leek, chopped
- ½ tablespoon chopped fresh sage
- 1 small butternut squash, sliced into thin (about ⅛" thick) rounds
- ¼ cup GO Veggie! Dairy Free, Vegan Classic Plain Cream Cheese Alternative
- 2 tablespoons almond milk
- ½ cup cranberries
- salt & pepper to taste
- ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ½ cup GO Veggie! Dairy Free, Vegan Mozzarella Shreds
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease an 8x8 baking dish.
- In a skillet over medium heat, saute the leeks with 1 tablespoon olive oil and the sage for about 3-5 minutes until softened. Set aside.
- Arrange the butternut squash rounds on the bottom of the baking dish in an overlapping pattern.
- Mix the cream cheese and the almond milk in a small bowl until smooth.
- Drop ⅓ of the cream cheese mixture in dollops on top of the layer of squash and spread out with a spoon.
- Spread ⅓ of the leeks on top of the cream cheese.
- Sprinkle ⅓ of the cranberries on top.
- Spread another layer of butternut squash rounds on top and repeat with the cream cheese, leeks and cranberries twice more so there are 3 full layers in the baking dish.
- Drizzle the top with the remaining ½ tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
- Remove the gratin from the oven, mix the breadcrumbs and mozzarella shreds together in a small bowl and sprinkle on top of the gratin.
- Return to the oven and broil for 2-3 minutes until the breadcrumbs start to brown and the cheese melts.
- Remove from oven, let sit for 5 minutes to set before serving.

Hell's Kitchen tonight - potential spoilers - who do we want to see go home?

I think the consensus here on Chowhound matches my own choices - ben and autumn! if I have to listen to "Oui Chef" in the finals I'll be very bummed! lol.
Tonight they have to recreate Chef Ramsey's dish without knowing the ingredients - this is actually one of my favorite challenges!
re: smartie
But if Jay(son) wins, what happens to Gargoyle's? I wonder what the time frame is for getting to the Savoy and all that. I'm thinking Holli just cuz some buzz would be around that he's leaving his restaurant. He sure knew how to expedite the best, but do people really taste every dish that goes out. That doesn't seem possible.
And still don't know what was up with Ben's back. It never looked like he was struggling to move or bend or anything.
re: Joanie
Putting out a request for "line chefs" on BostonChefs.com - does it hint at anything? Or just that they need new line chef(s) in the kitchen? But that could be the buzz. The restaurant survived after the original long-time chef left 8 years or so ago before Jason arrived 6 years ago.
As for Ben, I wouldn't have wanted to be in that kitchen with Autumn, Holli and Jason after not doing prep all day. As smartie said below, chefs work with all sorts of injuries (didn't the winner last year have a broken hand or something like that?)
I'm just glad Ben's gone. Although with the former contestants coming back, it looks like Ben attempts to take over the kitchen again even though he's not a finalist. @@
re: LindaWhit
agreed, even tho I couldn't stand Autumn from day one
re: LindaWhit
Ah, but at least Monsieur le Ben is GONE. Oui, oui, oui, all the way home.
I'm sure he'll have some rationale for the miracle back cure...adrenalin or drugs or something.
re: coney with everything
I have known and worked with chefs and there is only one thing that would keep them from their shift that night - death (their own).
chefs work with burns, cuts, flu, bad backs, twisted ankles etc. They are a breed all their own.
re: smartie
So glad Ben is gone! we were talking last night about the 2 guys on HK last season who worked with serious injuries! He really looked like a wuss last night.
re: smartie
In that case, he should have worked prep as well, IMO
re: smartie
They work with the flu?
re: LindaWhit
Me, too! But, with all the mistakes he made, he still has an inflated sense of himself so even if she had, he would have thought it was unfair, not that his performance was bad. That whole whining that Holli won the challenge??? Please. I'm surprised none of the other contestants sarcastically said, "Oui chef!" to him as he was in charge.
LOL, we loved the "magic" music played when Ben bent over to pick up the towel after all that whining.
re: chowser
LOL! I caught the "magic" music as well!
Here's the Autumn/Ben interview. Not much too exciting there
re: Firegoat
Ben's response to how he was portrayed: "It was interesting. A lot of the things I do are over the top. It comes off as me being arrogant. If you knew me, you'd know Ben. If you only get 20% of the story, it's different."
Ahhh. So *that's* what "over the top" is. REALLY?
re: LindaWhit
I wondered about that "over the top" definition. I always thought assholes were more toward the bottom.....
Going to be interesting to see how the chefs coming back work. I don't really remember Holli really backbiting anyone, however I guess at the time they filmed the finale, the returning crew wouldn't have seen the edited aired episodes and know if they were being backstabbed or not.
Looks from the preview like Jason gets Ben (which is probably a huge benefit to Jason, but I doubt Ben would have really worked for Holli anyway since he didn't seem to have any respect for her.) Holli gets Nilka. Fran goes to Jason.... the rest I couldn't really tell. Anyone else catch any other possible divisions?
re: Firegoat
Ben didn't have any respect for anyone other than Jay(son). That seems pretty obvious in how derisive he is in the confessional, at least about any of the women.
His comment to Jay last night while they were upstairs before going before Ramsay was pretty telling. Something along the lines of "You're the only one who could probably best me in the final competition." (Said by Ben to Jay) Is that what he means by being "over the top"? Seems arrogant to me.
As Holli said, he QUIT on everyone. And congratulated them by shaking Jay's hand and Holli's hand (and ignoring Autumn's? Or was it just edited out? Didn't seem to shake her hand, as Autumn had an interesting reaction). But he QUIT. And then said Ramsay convinced him to stay.
He's still a putz.
ETA: The TWoP forum for this episode is skewering Ben. Jay doesn't get many favorable comments there either. :-) http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.c...
re: Firegoat
This would probably have been a lot more interesting if they had been interviewed separately. If anybody spots any solo interviews on line, please post a link.
re: LindaWhit
Well, that would be THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS FINAL EPISODE IN HELL'S KITCHEN HISTORY
re: C. Hamster
Tee hee! Wish I'd thought to write that, C.H. ;-)
re: LindaWhit
ooh I said that to my coworker today
re: C. Hamster
Yes. She described him as her best friend and father of her son.
re: LindaWhit
Thanks. She's supposedly gay, no?
re: C. Hamster
No idea. But her FB page says she "like's" Jay's FB page. :-D And there's a comment on his wall that *might* reveal the outcome.
re: LindaWhit
Her FB page announced that she's coming out (STS) with a line of Olive Oil!!
Somehow that amuses me greatly.
re: C. Hamster
I think her myspace page has her as either bi or lesbian. Sounds more like bi to me.
Here is a different interview with Ben and Autumn which is quite a bit more interesting.
re: Firegoat
Did I read that right? Did Ben basically say that he deserved time with his family more than Holli? He is an arrogant snot!
re: kprange
He said that on the show as well - that he deserved to spend time with his family and Holli didn't. Completely arrogant.
And this sentence jumped out at me: "I think that the standard might have been slightly higher for me than other contestants at times..."
REALLY, Ben? Why, because you said so? Because you think you were that good? You wouldn't have been kicked out if you were that good. Ugh. Perhaps the pointers were because you weren't that good and you needed the pointers!
And this one: "Benjamin: We were all there for ourselves to win and work for Gordon Ramsay, so when it comes down to the last 4 or 5 people, it's all about how you can make yourself look good while making other people look bad."
Oy. But I guess that's to be expected of HK.
re: LindaWhit
That line stood out for me, too. You know, because his screw ups weren't really screw ups. Legend in his own mind.
I'm just really glad Ben is gone. I don't know who would win in a contest of egos between him and the long-gone Scott. Both just could not do ANYTHING wrong in their own mind and every negative that was mentioned against them was either simply not true, or BS as they are PERFECT if you ask each of them.
re: rockandroller1
I wonder if Scott is coming back for the finale. I didn't see him in the preview. Saw Fran, Siobhan, Nilka, Ben, Jason in the promo.... but no Scott, Salvatore, or NakED.
re: Firegoat
I don't think they bring back everyone, I noticed that last season. I'm sure Scott is actually working somewhere now and suspect Ed went back to his teaching job. Maybe Salvatore is back to making pizzas.
re: rockandroller1
Keep in mind that this was filmed a year and a half ago (Winter 2009), including the finale. They're all sequestered until the finale, and then bring back a select group of the former contestants to act as sous chefs to the two finalists.
re: LindaWhit
Well obviously someone is missing in the chef lineup, since I only spotted 5 (and yes I rewatched the promo online :D) And there will have to be an even number. I'm trying to remember the order in which people got booted, but it seems like NakEd was in a long time and should be there.
re: Firegoat
I think it's probably dependent upon who can come back and who can't.
re: rockandroller1
Yet again, if they're sequestered, and I believe they all show up for the finale reveal, they *can* all "come back". They don't go home if they've been asked to leave by GR. That would reveal who *didn't* win to those people that know the contestants booted off early.
re: LindaWhit
I agree, Linda. I remember reading someone on a previous season that even after booted off they don't actually "go home." They just go to a hotel room.
re: Firegoat
Top Chef is a perfect example...the Bravo site has extra video each time of when the booted cheftestant walks into the sequester apartment. Survivor has the Ponderosa, where those voted off the island reside until they're brought back for judging. Any tape-delayed reality program is like this.
re: LindaWhit
That's why it would really suck to be that first girl booted off.... six weeks of nothing much to do.
I assume they get paid some sort of something for being there? Or maybe not? That's something I've never heard.
Have to say I was surprised that Ben got the boot before Hedi. Although having said that I missed / couldn't be bothered to watch a couple of episodes. When I did see the show he looked to be a solid chef.

Come Home Lyrics - Aloha
In a fog too thick to climb through
We're sitting, drifting out to meet the clouds
How will I know when the time has come?
I find a tree with a ladders rungs
I know you're coming
I have spent my time preparing
What to keep and what to throw away?
What will breathe and what will suffocate?
Although you're late, we communicate with staples and tape
By your way, we'll rearrange the day with staples and tape
Come home
An afternoon you can't imagine moving the world
Playing out a famous dream in your mind I know you would
Interwoven hands to infinity
Turn a rock with the hidden key
Time has just begun
Time has just begun to slow

Congratulations to the Winners of the Showers & Snow Photo Contest!
Congratulations to Todd Consentino and Chris Chaney, winners of the Ortlieb Showers & Snow photo contest by the Alliance for Biking & Walking and Streetsblog.
We received over 100 photos of rainy, snowy biking and walking from dozens of photographers. Ten photos made it to the final round; of those, two were chosen by a (somewhat buggy) popular vote. Check them out below!
First prize winner: "Blizzard 2013" by Todd Consentino
This photo is from February 2013, when Boston had just been slammed with 24 inches of snow in 24 hours.
"Most of the roads by us were a mess and there weren't many non-plow type vehicles on the road," said Todd. "My five year old daughter wanted to go sledding. Our favorite sledding hill is only four miles away, so we rode our bike. It was awesome! Boston was peacefully quiet."

I have just been reading the september issue of GQ which dropped through my letterbox this morning and was delighted to see my question in print! First off I would like to thank you for including my question - however i am unable to share my excitement with my girlfriend as she believes my recently purchased Omega Speedmaster Professional cost a little bit less than it actually did and showing her and reveling the actual price would get me in A LOT of trouble and more than likely cost me another handbag - already had to get her a mulberry bayswater bag! Anyway, thanks again, James Cromwell
Hi, I just got a pair of light brown shoes, but don't know what kind of clothes to match with it.
"Chuck Bass" J. Press Silk patchwork scarf, yes or no?
hi, i need some fashion advivice on what i could wear to a wedding to marbella in september? i was thinking, a pair of beige or creamy colour chino trousers with brown timberland boat shoes and not sure about a top? but i want to look good and i am not convinced that this is a GOOD look? my girlfriend is wearing a pair of nude colour christian louboutin shoes and a cream colour dress. so ideally i will need something to compliment what she is wearing. could you please give me some fashion advice? kind regards, dean
I'm about to go back to university and I want to look the part and stand out from everyone else without spending a fortune. I'm 6ft4 and I'd say I'v got a muscular build, what would you suggest???????
I am going to a wedding and instead of wearing full kilt, I am wearing tartan trews. What shoes should I where with these?

Marti Webb
Essentially the cast album of a musical comedy in search of a play, this is a captivating set of songs about a young Englishwoman seeking and not finding her fortune in New York and Los Angeles. It was written by Andrew Lloyd Webber, who wrote the music for Jesus Christ Superstar and Evita, and Don Black, who did the lyrics for Born Free. Webber's melodies, mostly running to pop rock, are nifty enough. The sardonic lyrics are a delight, especially in a commentary on Beverly Hills titled Capped Teeth and Caesar Salad ("Suntans and Sunday brunches/Sprinklers sprinkle away/Careers are being hyped/Before the scripts are typed/I'll call you back and have a nice day"). Webb, 35, the new lead in the London production of Evita, is an established performer in England and justifiably so; she has a gutsy, music-hall voice reminiscent of Oliver star Georgia Brown's.

Universal acquires rights to Anne Rice's 'The Vampire Chronicles'
More vampires could be headed to the big screen.
EW has confirmed that Universal Pictures acquired the rights to Anne Rice's The Vampire Chronicles series for Imagine Entertainment and Brian Grazer.

Alex Kurtzman and Robert Orci are set to produce, with Bobby Cohen on board to executive produce. President of Imagine Entertainment Erica Huggins will oversee the series, according to a press release.
Mark Romanek in talks to direct 'Shining' prequel

'The Fault in Our Stars': Are those tears of joy, critics?
Perhaps the people who run studios thought Divergent was the big YA novel to launch Shailene Woodley into the stratosphere, but her performance in the cancer weepie The Fault in Our Stars might be the role that makes her a giant star.
Based on John Green's 2012 best-seller, director Josh Boone's movie tells the story of a cynical 16-year-old cancer patient (Woodley), saddled with an oxygen tank and breathing tube, and the more-dynamic, free-spirited remission patient (Ansel Elgort) who falls in love with her. "A generation of teens like [Woodley's character] have been weaned on YA novels, leading to more discerning palates," EW's Chris Nashawaty writes in his review. "They can sniff out condescension from a thousand yards. That's why they're lucky to have an actress as effortlessly charismatic and natural as 22-year-old Woodley (The Descendants) as their stand-in."
If you've read the book, you know the ending, and if you loved the book, you're already whimpering. (Beware, fragile souls, the trailer awaits below.) If you're perhaps older or didn't read the book, think Love Story and everything that entails — spoilers, schmoilers. As the characters themselves learn, it's not the ending that counts.
Read more from Nashawaty's review, as well as a round-up of other notable critics, below. READ FULL STORY
'Pretty Little Liars' showrunner Marlene King to adapt 'The Merciless'
Marlene King's got a secret. Can you keep it?
The Pretty Little Liars showrunner is on board to adapt Danielle Vega's upcoming horror novel, The Merciless, for the big screen. The novel, which was inspired by real events, follows a new student in town as she gets to know the popular clique in high school. Not unlike Pretty Little Liars, the popular clique turns out to have a darker side. But this time, the new girl participates in a dangerous exorcism of another classmate. So perhaps the Liars should be thankful their biggest worry is a cyber bully.
The Merciless is set to hit shelves on June 12, 2014 with Lionsgate having acquired the feature film rights.
Check out Marlene King's tweet about the exciting news below:
It's official-I'm teaming up with @lionsgatemovies @alloyent to write the feature #TheMerciless. I promise it'll scare the DEVIL out of you.

Harry Potter spin-off lands release date
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Warner Bros.' return to J.K. Rowling's world of witchcraft and wizardy, will open in theaters on Nov. 18, 2016. Set in New York City 70 years before the adventures of Harry Potter, the Rowling-scripted movie is the first of a trilogy based on the 42-page guidebook purportedly written by magizoologist Newt Scamander. The book's foreword was penned by one Albus Dumbledore, so it's presumed that a younger version of the future headmaster of Hogwarts will play a role in the new trilogy.
No director or cast has been announced, and Rowling is still working on the script.
Hopeful Y.A. franchise 'Seeker' gets screenwriter
Throw a teenage girl into a dystopian adventure and Hollywood will come calling — in this case, even before the book is officially published.
Hollywood already has adaptations of Daughter Of Smoke And Bone and The Fifth Wave in the works, and today Sony confirmed they have hired a screenwriter, Callie Kloves, for Seeker, an upcoming sci-fi/adventure tale based on a book by Arwen Elys Dayton that hasn't even been published yet.

Wally Lamb's 'Wishin' and Hopin' is headed to the big screen
For the first time ever, Wally Lamb is getting the big screen treatment! Lamb's bestseller Wishin' and Hopin' is being made into a feature film set to shoot in Connecticut this summer.

The book follows a young boy, Felix, as he attends Catholic school and learns about life and culture from a Russian student and a substitute teacher, among others.

Michael C. Hall and director Jim Mickle talk 'Cold in July' -- EXCLUSIVE IMAGE
In the opening scenes of the new '80s-set thriller Cold in July, Michael C. Hall's character shoots dead a burglar and then checks out his funeral. Did the man who played the serial killer Dexter and a funeral director on Six Feet Under think he was being pranked when he first read the screenplay? Not so much. As Hall says in the currently-on-stands Summer Movie Preview issue of Entertainment Weekly, "I'm often sent scripts that have some murderous or graveyard elements."

Five Things Weird Al Critiques in Mandatory Fun
By Steve Brennan
By Ashley Zimmerman
In 1967, the Who released an album called The Who Sell Out, a psychedelic set of songs interspersed with faux jingles and endorsements. A little more than 35 years later, they brought that theme to reality by lending their music to all three installments of the CSI television franchise. It sounds corny, but it marked a new, if somewhat cautionary milestone for a band still attempting to transition from the turbulent '60s into the new millennium. But then again, the Who have always been able to adapt. At first they were irreverent punk philosophers, then darlings of the Mod movement, without spending much effort. Turning their music into a vehicle for mercurial songwriter/guitarist Pete Townshend's grand ambitions, they eventually found unique standing among Rock's most revered entities ranking with the Beatles, the Stones, and Bob Dylan as the most influential artists of all time. They've also been forced to cope with turmoil and tragedy losing their fearless drummer Keith Moon and, just five years ago, bass player John Entwistle. Now down to only Townshend and fiery vocalist Roger Daltrey, the Who have become the Two, making their decision to continue under the original banner a somewhat questionable enterprise. And yet, while it also calls into question that vow to die before they get old, the opportunity to hear these ageless anthems of angst and outrage becomes an occasion that ought not to be missed.
The Who perform at 8 p.m. on Thursday, March 26, at Hard Rock Live, 1 Seminole Way, Hollywood. Tickets cost $75-$350. Call Ticketmaster at 954-523-3309, or visit www.seminolehardrock.com.

what to buy
The LifeSpan TR1200-DT5's 4-mph maximum speed means it'll never cut it as a regular treadmill -- but it's perfect for a treadmill desk. Owners compliment its stable, quiet operation, saying the person on the other end of a phone won't hear you walking. Its web portal and desktop app are problematic -- but if you just want to walk, this is the best deal going.
Workers on a happy roll. The editors of TreadmillDoctor.com name the TR1200-DT5 a runner up in the "Best Buy" category for treadmill desks: "LifeSpan took a winner of a treadmill and paired it with the new interest in having a working desk attached to the machine and came up with an entirely new winner!" Most users seem to agree; noting the 2.25-continuous-horsepower, high-torque motor changes speed slowly, but is smooth and quiet. You can make phone calls without stepping off the machine -- the person on the other end won't even hear the treadmill running. A maximum speed of 4 miles per hour restricts you to a walk, but the 20-by-56-inch belt provides plenty of room. The desk is sturdy and stable, even for tall users over 250 pounds.
Just one sore spot. Users at Amazon.com say assembling the TR1200-DT5 treadmill desk is easy: "Just 10 bolts, and the tools you need are included." The desk adjusts from 36 to 52 inches, but don't plan on making frequent adjustments -- they're done manually, and usually require the help of a friend. You can also purchase the treadmill base alone (Est. $1,000) and substitute your own adjustable desk.
The web portal designed to log your stats is problematic at best, and few users are fans of the desktop app. Also, they say when you pause the treadmill, it "forgets" your previous settings.
Stands a fighting chance. A treadmill desk functions at constant, slow speeds that will burn most motors out relatively quickly -- but with high torque and a top speed of 4 mph, the LifeSpan TR1200-DT5's may be able to stick it out. Unfortunately, the motor is only guaranteed for three years. You also get a two-year warranty for parts, one for labor and a lifetime warranty on the frame.
It's also worth noting the manufacturer recommends using this treadmill for a maximum of six hours daily, although that seems to mesh nicely with most users' schedules. The desktop is made of inch-think composite board and laminate.
Make sure you register it. The LifeSpan TR1200-DT5 treadmill desk comes with a lifetime warranty on the frame, three years of coverage on the motor, two years of parts coverage and a one year labor warranty. But all that coverage only activates if you register the treadmill within 30 days of purchase (not delivery), a fact that has some users understandably upset -- they say it should be advertised more prominently.
Once past their initial upset, owners comment positively on LifeSpan's customer service; they say the company representatives are prompt, responsive and helpful.

37. What is VASS?
Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports, which provides sports and recreational opportunities for people with disabilities. Your entry fee goes directly toward provision of these services.
38. What happened to question # 4?
Just trying to see if you're paying attention.
The main point is that running fast downhill doesn't take as much energy as the uphills, so that this is where you can
make good time to offset your slower pace on the uphills, while catching your breath. Without sufficient practice, however, you will be slower and the legs won't be strong enough to withstand the pounding. Skipping over and around trail obstacles such as rocks and roots requires balance and leg strength, which this training promotes.
An engine requires fuel or it will stop. Your fuel during your race is the liquids and Calories that you consume.
My point is that you should carry water/fluid on your training runs so that you are used to it. In the 50K run there are two
longer stretches between aid stations of 5.4 and 6.1 miles. Do the math; if you're maintaining a 10 min./mi. running pace, which is quick, you'll be on the trail for between 54 and 61 minutes. You should therefore have your own water. In the 50 Mile, in addition to the above-mentioned stretches, there is a 7 mile uphill segment after the Skunk Hollow
Tavern Station. There, in addition to my 20 oz. belt bottle, I also carry a 16 oz. plastic bottle of water in my hand to be consumed as I'm running.
On the food side of the picture, most runners consume some form of energy supplement, in the form of gels, bloks, sport beans or other chews. For the 50K this is sufficient. For the 50 mile, which has you running for most of the day,
and therefore skipping at least one normal meal, supplementing with fruits and other aid station goodies is a wise idea. I somewhat callously maintain that most folks can probably power their way through a 50 Miler without consuming much food, but without such sustenance, one is taking a chance on running out of steam before the finish.
Once again, I stress that you should practice eating various foods in your training so that any adverse reactions will
only trash that effort rather than your big race. If you have some favorite goodies that don't appear on the foods list on the website, plan on stashing some of it in your drop bags at the designated stations. Obviously I'm referring to non-perishable items, unless you have some fancy way of keeping things cold in a drop bag.
For the 50 Mile Run the best method I've found involves doing back-to-back long runs on the weekend, with the longer one being done on Saturday. There are obviously different training plans that vary from 10 to as many as 20 or 26 weeks in length. Regardless, with about 2 months to go to the race you should be doing about 20 and 10 miles for the weekend long runs. These gradually increase to a max of about 26 and 10 three weeks before the race. Taper it to 16
& 10 at 2 weeks out, then 10 & 6 a week prior. Many ultra runners prefer to think in terms of hours on their feet rather than miles. A loose translation would be about 4 ½ to 5 ½ miles per hour, so that the max weekend double would be about 5 hrs. and 2.5 to 3 on Sunday, etc..
Because rest is also very important you should plan on not running on Friday or Monday. You could do some easy floor
strengthening exercises on Friday, but definitely rest up on Monday. Wednesday's you should gradually build up a semi-long run into the 10 to 12 mile range by 5 weeks out and then taper that down as well to 10 miles at 2 ½ weeks prior and 6 miles at 1 ½ weeks out. I generally do my aggressive hill workout on Wednesday, running enough miles to constitute a semi-long distance. Tuesdays and Thursdays you can run easy miles between 4 and 8 in order to keep
your weekly total up in the 50's to 60's a month out. You could also skip one of these days and do weights or other strengthening exercises for 30 to 60 minutes. You could also do your hill workout on either of these days, without doing an excessive number of miles.
For the 50K, the max. mileage week would be 3 weeks out, doing 20 or 22 on Saturday and 8 or 10 on Sunday. The
Wednesday semi-long's (or hill workout) would be in the 6 then 8 then 10 mile range. Similar to the 50 Mile program, you will do shorter easy runs on Tuesday and Thursday and take both Friday and Monday off.
These are just basic guidelines and can be altered to fit with the other things you have going on at home and at work. If you happen to miss a day of training, don't worry about it or try to make it up the next day. Another day off now and then
won't trash your basic program. You will also learn more about how much your body can take and you need to listen to what it's telling you. If you are exhausted even after the Monday rest day, then you need to throttle back a bit. You will find that you do get stronger as the program progresses, which is most encouraging. Don't, however, expect this to happen in the first few weeks of your program.
As for where you train, try to find some trails, back roads and/or dirt roads to train on, because that's the best way to train for what you'll find at the Vermont 50's. Don't despair if this isn't possible, because doing the miles on pavement is certainly beneficial. Some folks just don't have hills available, in which case training on the stairs of a multi-story building or doing repeats over a highway bridge will give you a decent workout.
Remember that we run these races as recreation, so we shouldn't get all bent out of shape while preparing and training
Unless you are in some way running your races as your vocation, you need to balance the training and racing with the other major elements of your life. I am hooked on running and suspect that many who are reading this column are similarly driven. I also try, however, to keep it all in perspective and allot sufficient time to manage my household
responsibilities and work obligations. It does, of course, mean sacrificing from other activities such as watching television, going to movies or even getting a full 8 hours of sleep every night. There are only 24 hours in the day, so practicing efficient time management is very important.
See you at Ascutney on the 25th. Zeke

text: ClimateGate's Josh Steiner Moment? by Christopher C. Horner 1 Dec 2009 post a comment Share This: By now you've likely forgotten the name of Josh Steiner, the Bill Clinton aide who feebly testified that he had lied to his own diary when recording events of the time. But you haven't forgotten the pitifulness of the spectacle. I suggest we may have just passed that one in ClimateGate, with the following passage from John Tierney's column in the New York Times, discussing "Mike's Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) amd [sic] from 1961 for Keith's to hide the decline": "In fact, one skeptic raised this very issue about tree-ring data in a comment posted in 2004 on RealClimate, the blog operated by climate scientists. The comment, which questioned the propriety of 'grafting the thermometer record onto a proxy temperature record,' immediately drew a sharp retort on the blog from Michael Mann, an expert at Penn State University: 'No researchers in this field have ever, to our knowledge, 'grafted the thermometer record onto' any reconstruction. It is somewhat disappointing to find this specious claim (which we usually find originating from industry-funded climate disinformation Web sites) appearing in this forum.' Dr. Mann now tells me that he was unaware, when he wrote the response, that such grafting had in fact been done in the earlier cover chart, and I take him at his word." But wasn't it "Mike's trick" to do this that is being discussed here, grasped and described as such by CRU's Phil Jones as having been performed on Mike's graph, by Mike? So, his defense is that no one had told him that that's what he was doing? These guys really need to call for a RealInvestigation to get the the bottom of their actions, as the more they stumble around the worse they're making themselves look.

Somehow I need to change the air conditioning filter on my 2001 Honda Accord. Does anybody knows where is it located?
Answer: The air conditioning filter is located behind your glove box. It is 2 micron filters about a foot long and 4 inches wide. If you are not familiar with removing dash panels I would suggest paying a shop to do it. The intake (engine) air filter is inside the black box at the end of the tube that goes to the throttle body (the tube is about 4 inches in diameter). Depending if this car is a v6 or 4 cylinder you will either have 4 metal clips or 4 philips head screws. This is very easy to install yourself. Both filters clean incoming air, the a/c one filters the air your a/c circulates in your car, the engine one cleans the air going into your engine. Both should be done about every 30,000 miles if you use Honda filters (not aftermarket). Change them more often if it is very dusty in your area.

INSTITUTE, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Two workers were taken to the hospital after a chemical spill.
It happened just before 3:00 p.m. Saturday at Catalyst Refinery.
Emergency responders say the company lost 75 gallons of nitric acid when an accident happened inside the production area. It's unclear at this time exactly what caused it.
Two workers were taken to the hospital; one suffered burns and the other was having breathing issues.
The Institute Fire Department responded as a precaution, but the company was able to handle everything internally.
There is no evidence of acid outside the building.
The company is in the process of neutralizing the acid to make it safe inside.
Emergency managers will follow up with company Monday to determine the cause.

A middle-aged man was in critical condition Saturday after an early morning shooting in east Wichita.
Police say a 34-year-old woman called 911 around 5:30 a.m., saying her boyfriend had been shot. When officers arrived in the 300 block of North Lorraine Avenue, they found a 50-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound. He was taken to Wesley Medical Center in critical condition. His name has not been released.
No arrests have been made. But police say they have some good leads. They are looking for a man in his 20s who may be connected to the shooting.
"It's a really quiet neighborhood you wouldn't expect for anything like this to happen," neighbor Kiearra Wilson said.
Another neighbor, who talked to KAKE News, says he was woken up by the disturbance. He says he saw a car outside of the man's home, heard a single gun shot, and then saw the car drive off.
Most other neighbors heard about the shooting for the first time when police officers knocked on their doors asking questions.
They say they are shocked to hear the shooting involved the kind man they often see sitting on his front porch.
"He was always outside fixing his cars and what not," Wilson said. "He's a very nice guy."
Police declined to talk about where the man was shot or how many times he was shot.
They say are withholding most of details of the case because of the active investigation.
"It's just scary so close to home," Wilson said. "For someone like him, he's an older man. He doesn't bother anyone. So, what did he do to deserve that? It's just crazy. It scares me."
