Great product, good price, replacing one that was previously broken. It's good because all the program and apps we downlaoded can be installed on new leap pad
Debated if I should go with Leap Pad 2 or a tablet for my 5 year old grandson, after reading the pros and cons of each I went with the leappad 2 which offers much more specific learning per age group vs the mindless often aggressive games on a tablet. He has fun playing games, listening to age appropriate music, reading books and learning while he is doing it. LOVE this and highly recommend it. Ordered it on line & received it in just a few days!

Afternoon Delight: Jane Lynch preps for the Emmys, Sarah Michelle Gellar heads to Comic-Con
Happy birthday to Academy Award-winning actress Kathy Bates, who turns 63 today. Bates played gay in the 1998 political film Primary Colors (1998). At one point in the film, Bates held a gun to a man's crotch and declared, "I am a gay lesbian woman! I do not mythologize the male sexual organ!" I'll have to remember that one.
Saoirse Ronan (The Lovely Bones, Hanna) has been cast in Andrew Niccol's adaptation of The Host, based on Stephenie Meyer's sci-fi novel. Ronan will play a young woman whose body is taken over by an alien. Yikes! The film will be shot in Louisiana and New Mexico, and is set to release in theaters on March 29, 2013.
Lindsay Lohan has been keeping herself busy by watching movies and making helpful casting suggestions.
Sarah Michelle Gellar is going to Comic-Con! This is only the second time the Buffy star will attend the epic "geek-fest." Gellar will appear on The CW's panel for her new show Ringer. She'll be joined by co-stars Nestor Carbonell, Ioan Gruffudd and Kristoffer Polaha.
This year, the Emmy Awards will be hosted by Sue Sylvester (aka Jane Lynch). The comedian/actress/Glee scene-stealer has been rehearsing and tweeting some behind the scenes photos of the upcoming September 18 awards show. Lynch is only the third woman to solo host the Emmys. The two other lucky and talented female hosts were Angela Lansbury and Ellen DeGeneres.
So wait, only three women in history have ever hosted the Emmys all by themselves, and two out of three of them are out lesbians? Seriously, why are we so awesome?
Being Lady Gaga isn't all playtime and meat dress-up. No, sometimes it involves heavy-handed business like dealing with lawsuits. A Michigan law firm is accusing Gaga of keeping some of the proceeds of the "We Pray for Japan" bracelets. Gaga has been selling the bracelets on her website to raise money for Japan's earthquake victims. The superstar's website states all bracelet proceeds will go to charity, which the law firm is disputing. On Saturday, the law firm filed a federal class-action suit, stating Gaga inflated the shipping charges. No word from Gaga's representatives on this matter. (Like they say, no good deed goes unpunished.)
Yesterday CNN.com posted the powerful article, "I Was Wrong About Same-Sex Marriage," by David Frum, a self-declared conservative who was a special assistant to President George W. Bush from 2001 to 2002. Frum has also written six books, including Comeback: Conservatism That Can Win Again. I haven't read that one.
For years, Frum had fought against gay marriage and spoke publicly about how gay marriage would lead to the downfall of our society. Now, Frum has changed his tune and claims he was not at all upset about New York legalizing gay marriage. He lets us in on his new brand of thinking:
The case against same-sex marriage has been tested against reality. The case has not passed its test. Since 1997, same-sex marriage has evolved from talk to fact. If people like me had been right, we should have seen the American family become radically more unstable over the subsequent decade and a half. Instead — while American family stability has continued to deteriorate — it has deteriorated much more slowly than it did in the 1970s and 1980s before same-sex marriage was ever seriously thought of.
By the numbers, in fact, the 2000s were the least bad decade for American family stability since the fabled 1950s. And when you take a closer look at the American family, the facts have become even tougher for the anti-gay marriage position.
Tonight: Lesbian comedian Gloria Bigelow performs at Akbar (4356 Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles, CA) at 8 p.m. alongside Terry Zeller, Michael Cornacchia and Amy Claire. The event will be hosted by Erin Foley and Bruce Daniels and only costs five bucks!
Lesbian/Bi Photo of the Day:
Check out these two lovely ladies celebrating during last weekend's New York Pride parade. The anonymous and adorable couple can now legally marry (if they want to). Can I come to the wedding?

Antimatter close to home
As anyone who follows big physics knows, the best way to trap anti-matter is with a magnetic field: that way, you can prevent the mutual annihilation that results from interactions with normal matter. Usually, you need a particle accelerator and a big magnet to grab hold of antimatter, even for a fraction of a second. However, …
Now we're getting somewhere
Mr. Sulu, engage the Bussard collectors, and prepare for warp...
I trust the Big Boom icon needs no explanation.
uh oh
Oh god the geek in me has surfaced again. The bussard ramscoop collects hydrogen. The enterprise has a reverse charge antimatter generator to create anti matter.
sorry. so sorry, i'll beat the geek back under the surface again.
Re: uh oh
Is your inner geek feeling Down and Out?
Re; uh oh
> The bussard ramscoop collects hydrogen
There are two TNG episodes where the bussard is used for purposes other than this.
I don't know which episodes, but it was a question in the Fist Of Fun book that accompianed the series.
re: uh oh
You say antiproton, I say antihydrogen nucleus.
And now PAMELA? And she's probing Van Allen?
The mind boggles.
Conspiracy Theorists Unite!! :-)
So this 'South Atlantic Anomaly' doesnt hover ominously near Bermuda then does it? Could anti-particles be zapping planes from the sky???
*joke icon for the humour impaired*
Though it does cause problems for satellites. The ISS has to carry extra radiation shielding for the occasions when it passes through the SAN and the Hubble Space Telescope is shut down for its passage. I'm pretty sure it was also linked to the repeated failures of a number of low-orbit comms sats.
Just as well it's not......
....over the Vatican, eh?
Antimatter catalysed fusion Orion
I seem to recall one blue-sky idea a while back for a prototype of a kiloton class fusion device.
The problem is that the smallest conventional fission warhead would be about 15 kilos minimum, and be far too dangerous in the event of an accident.
However, making the warhead out of a superconducting core, then lithium 4 deuteride with an outer covering of beryllium would mean that even if a detonation occurred in the fuel pod it would not result in a big boom.
Essentially the antimatter would be used as a fusion catalyst, being accelerated using something like a linac onto the fuel pod through a small gap in the shielding.
The MgB2 superconducting inner lining would trap the antimatter for a short time then as it heated up (use a laser here) it would go normal and the antimatter would react inside the chamber and detonate the device.
Ought to work, back of the envelope calculations suggest that the antimatter required would be in the low milligrams for a return trip to Mars.
Harnessing it from the solar wind is also a possibility..
AC, because I don't even WANT to know how many classified patents this breaches.
blue-sky idea???
Is this where "thinking outside the box" has got us to? I assume that you are going to invest my life saving in new markets before flogging me a 1st story flat with damp and a pikey landlord.
"big boom"
Conventional fission warheads aren't particularly hazardous in the event of an accident; triggering a nice neat fission reaction in a warhead is a very non-trivial exercise. Sure, you could accidentally detonate it, but the same problem exists with your unicorn-fart powered antimatter confinement device. Or were you thinking about launch accidents? If you've got the magical powers to make super conductors and generate antimatter willy-nilly, you can certainly make a nice catapult that can fling payloads into orbit fast enough that even in the event of problems they won't be falling back down.
Wouldn't a hafnium nuclear isomer based system require less magic than your proposal? Or hell, a plain old laser-triggered fusion warhead probably isn't that far away. Or you know, just a normal orion drive. Even rocket science isn't exactly rocket science, these days.
So, I'm baffled, and definitely missing a lot of information when it comes to particle physics. So, matter and antimatter collide, and annihilate. What form does this annihilation take - in what form is the resultant energy? And what natural processes exist that turn energy to matter? Is it possible that the energy resulting from the collision of matter and antimatter is ever so slightly more inclined to become "normal" matter rather than antimatter? Could this explain the baffling dearth of observable antimatter in our universe?
Paris because I do not have the knowledge to address this subject, but am pretentious enough to do so anyway.
Its a pretty good annihilation. 100% conversion to energy allegedly there hasnt been enough study of larger quantities of anti matter to say outright.
Nucleosynthesis creates elements from stray protons and neutrons - but you obviously need protons and neutrons to begin with. Fusion turns energy to matter (in a manner of speaking) in nuclei masses greater than iron btu again you need constituent nuclei. I dont think scientists are aware of a conversion of 100% energy to matter though.
Given E-MC^2...
Regular fission turns an appreciable amount of matter into energy in the form of gamma rays, other high-energy electromagnetic radiation and a great deal of heat. The energy that matter is turned in to would be, similarly, gamma rays and other high energy electromagnetic radiation, the difference being that the conversion would be complete.
The current assumption is either that matter and anti-matter were produced in equal proportions during the big bang, but that they quickly segregated from each other, OR that anti-matter isn't quite as stable as matter, so it was less likely to form.
Actmually there is thought to be a natural bias against antimatter.
Google "antimatter" and "bias" for information. We may neither of us understand a word of it but it's nice to know that it's there.
However, the last that I heard, they hadn't yet found enough of a bias towards matter and against antimatter in various processes experiments to add up to what's needed to make the Big Bang work properly as far as that goes. Well, looking for it keeps them in a job.
What form? It depends
@Jacob: "What form does this annihilation take[?]"
It depends on exactly what is annihilating. If you take 2 fundamental particles, like an electron and a anti-electron (a.k.a. positron), you'd normally get a gamma photon and an infrared photon (you need to have 2 particles out, because you have to balance all the equations: charge, momentum, energy, and several others you've likely not heard of).
When dealing with protons and anti-protons it's more complicated because a proton isn't a fundamental particle - it's a composite of 3 quarks (2 up and a down), a bunch of gluons sticking the quarks together, and a cast of thousands of virtual particles doing cameos. It is unlikely that each particle would find it's exact opposite, so instead of just photons, you get photons and a bunch of things like neutrinos being emitted, with the neutrinos carrying about a third of the total energy.
There has to be a bias towards matter, otherwise if equal amounts of matter and anti-matter would have been created after the big bang and they would have destroyed each other and there would be no matter left in the universe (multiverse???).
Paris - big bang
Van Halen's belt surrounding the Earth?
Whoa! Excellent!
Re: Van Halen's belt surrounding the Earth?
That answers a question that's been doing the rounds for some time.
It was Eddie who ate all the pies....
Re: Re: Van Halen's belt surrounding the Earth?
It was Eddie who ate all the pies....
Nah - Ford says Eddies in the space time continuum
Can I blame my utter lack of effort this summer on a depletion of energy due to being bombarded by anti-matter protons?
Okay, I'll blame Paris, because she doesn't matter either.
the best way to trap anti-matter is with a magnetic field
Ah, makes sense: my fridge is covered with magnets, and my food keeps disappearing.
Anti-proton catalyzed micro fisson/fusion is what I think you're looking for
Originated from the U. Pennsylvania IIRC.
There is a paper but basically 200g (roughly golfball size) spheres (199g Lead, 1g Uranium and some Gold) are hit by multiple ion beams (or lasers, but the ion beams are more efficient to make which helps) and start to be compressed up to a fission density. Then they get hit by a small burst of anti-protons and things really start to cook.
But where to get the anti-protons? The team writing the paper reckoned 1 years production would do it but the containment traps were not up to holding onto them long enough to be ready for the deceleration burn when you got to Mars/Venus/Jupter. This is being worked on.
However if there is a *natural* (and renewable?) supply that changes things quite a bit.
Note also any *solid* object passing through that zone would be *guaranteed* a nasty dose of high energy X and gamma rays. A magnetic shield that repelled Protons, wound attract Anti-Protons.
The SAA is the weakest part of the Earths magentosphere, roughly where the field lines channel incoming particles to. The field of view of a satellite mounted camera show *lots* of bright flashes when the shutter is closed in a way it does not anywhere else on orbit.
An astonishing piece of serendipity.
LOHAN Mission Reassessment Time?
Legendary Orbiter for Hoarding ANtiprotons?
So this is what's behind the Argies' renewed interest in The Falklands
They need it for the terrstrial base of an anti-matter harvesting facility beneath the SAA. I say we start building our own and send down the Ark Royal to protect our interests pronto. What's that? We no longer have a maritime force protection capability? Oh.
I for one welcome the tentacly extra dimensional overlords.
if the Earth is surrounded by anti-matter
then anything leaving Earth would collide with it and go BANG!
Of all the spaceships and probes that have left orbit, none have experienced a matter/anti-matter explosion.
You reverse the polarity of the hull plating?
Well, yes and no...
...If it was up there in bloody great big chunks, rather than as a rarefied ion plasma, then this might happen. As it is, things going through the Van Allen Belts get hit by the odd antiproton, causing the annihilation of a proton in the outer layer of atoms, the release of a high-energy photon (probably in the gamma ray range), and possibly making the atom that was hit mildly radioactive, depending on whether it can bear to lose a proton or not. This is kind of why they are known as the Van Allen Radiation Belts, the clue there being in the word radiation really.
Given the rarefied nature of the belts, something would have to stay up there for a serious amount of time to be annihilated by the antimatter; the orbit would decay a long long time before this ever happened.
Still, I'm not sure I'd want to spend my holidays there...
So, by this logic,
as asteroids have been found in space, we can extrapolate that space is acually SOLID ROCK.
Re: if the Earth is surrounded by anti-matter
Well only enough "bang" of the actual number of antiprotons that became annihilated. You might see it as a brief flash if it went through your eye ball.
Leaving the Earth
"none have experienced a matter/anti-matter explosion." How do you know?
I see my stuff go up to geo orbit, and have several bangs a year (hundreds). The bangs come from high-energy particles that make it through the spacecraft structure and hit the electronic components.
Asking the Google calculator (I am on holiday, so my calculator is not with me):
"mass of proton * (c squared) * 2" gives an answer: 3.00655461 E-10 joules. That is not very much energy really, and would increase the temperature of the whole spacecraft (Say 6 tonnes) by about the same amount as me farting in it's general direction, so it wouldn't really "explode"
Setting aside the gruesome image that evokes
The Apollo astronauts reported seeing bright flashes in their vision when they were travelling to the Moon and back. It was suggested this was caused by sub-atomic particles trapped in the Van Allen Belts passing through their eyes.
New addition to Reg standard units!
As a duly appointed AC, I hereby nominate the following additional item for inclusion in the list of Reg standard units:
1 Bristol Bachelor Fart = 3.00655461 E-10 J
(Note that further experimentation may be required to confirm the conversion factor).
Example usage:
The LHC produces collisions on the order of 3300 Bristol Bachelor Farts per molecule (3.3 kBBFs/molecule)
Burning a barrel of oil will produce about 20 E18 Bristol Bachelor Farts of energy.
Cern D!cks
In the meantime whilst we are trying to understand what this stuff is, how it interacts, where it can be found, we have let loose a bunch of schoolkids with massively powerful equipment at Cern and elsewhere and who are allowed to play to their heart's content. Foolish barstewards.
I didn't realise...
YOU were trying to understand....
"It's a form of matter Jim, but not as we know it."
Carry on then.
South Atlantic eh?
Wonder if we have an explanation for the Vela incident now? - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vela_Incident
A nice idea, except the Vela Incident took place over the Indian Ocean.
we have had one for a very long time
Israel needed to test their nukes just like every other nuclear power. They just chose to do it with the South Africans (why it happened in Indian Ocean) as I am sure they made some serious $ by doing so and its not like they have given a damn what the international community or even the US thought.
we're all doomed!!
But.... isn't the earth's magnetic field s'posed to be failing and about to flip so that north is south and south is north some time soon? And when that happens, isn't there a change that all these antiprotons that are floating in the air, will drop down, hit normal matter and Marvin the Martain will have his earth-shattering ka-boom!!
Please tell me that post-PARIS, the eggheads got together and renamed the satellite in honor of Pamela Anderson!! That would be AWESOME!!
And its great that we have antimatter naturally occurring in orbit, but I have to wonder if all the space junk we have created over the years is slowly sweeping up all this antimatter.

Meet the Steamboxes (Gallery)
Summary: More than a dozen vendors have announced that they've joined forces with Valve to produce Linux SteamOS-powered PCs and gaming consoles. Here their first wave of devices.
11 of 12Image
Scan Computers NC10
Scan Computers NC10: This system from the United Kingdom seems more designed for streaming Steam games from other systems than running them locally. For its main processor it has only a 2.4GHz Intel Core i3 4000M. For the GPU it features an Nvidia GeForce GTX 765M. It also comes with 8GBs of RAM and 500GBs of storage.
Webhallen: Another international company, this Swedish OEM,will also be offering Steam boxes. Its machine comes with an Intel Core i7 CPU and an NVIDIA GTX 780 GPU. It also includes 16GBs of RAM and a 1TB hybrid SSD/hard drive. Pricing will start at $1,499. The company hasn't given a release date yet.
Zotac: We know less about what Zotac will be offering in its Steam box than any of the other OEMs, except, of course, that it looks more like a Wi-Fi access point than a gaming console or computer. The company offers a variety of customized computers ranging from the high-end to very low. The only things we know for certain about this model is that for graphics it will use an Nvidia GeForce GTX and it will cost $599.

main index
Sometimes as a person recalls an event, we get to see what happened then... but wait, why is this person's memory showing the person who remembered it? For example, if Bob remembered a date with Alice, and we see in his memories: Alice at table, waiting... then Bob appears late and in such a messy state! If it's Bob's memory, we should be seeing it though his eyes...or at least, we certainly shouldn't see anything from before the point when he showed up. Usually an acceptable break from reality as it's usually hard to convey events through someone's viewpoint, and sometimes because the stage cannot be recreated with the remembering character's viewpoint if it was filmed much earlier. Another reason this could be an acceptable break from reality is for some nice visual cues or adding a Rewatch Bonus into the Third Person Flashback. A Third Person Flashback could be perfect for placing a Chekhov's Gun of some kind, a Brick Joke, Funny Background Event, or a bit of Foreshadowing. Anything transmitted through an Exposition Beam is likely to be this. A sign of an Unreliable Narrator. As this is very common, only list examples that is a subversion or averted. Some of some very odd examples may be added like Farscape example.

Recs for a few days?
- Bada Bing Feb 22, 2014 11:51 AM
I'll be staying late March at a hotel in the museum district, adjacent to Hermann Park (Hotel ZaZa), but I don't know ANYTHING yet about Houston geography or the foods, except that the food is supposed to be good to a degree that surprises outsiders like me. The hotel actually offers free transpo to anyplace within 5 miles, plus I have an expense account. So I'm thinking I'll have time to take 2-4 outings from my work to worthy destinations, elevated or humble.
My tastes: If I'm going anywhere, I like to try what's distinctive to the place (hoagies in Philly; pizza in NYC and CT, etc). I could suppose that BBQ is one thing to look for in Houston, but I don't even know that for sure.
Mexican or other ethnic foods would certainly interest me. If there's great Indian food in Houston, I'm there. (The more regionally specific, the better.)
Also, I don't know if Houston has the food-truck culture of some other places, but that could be worth trying, too. What I'm told is that the museum district doesn't really have many good food places nearby, so I would think that food trucks would be a great idea in such an environment.
Thanks in advance for any tips.
Adding to my query: I'm seeing there's a lot of Chinese places. Would especially like recs. for Dim Sum and especially any place with worthy xiao long bao (soup dumplings).
Skip BBQ and try the Tex Mex. El Real on Westheimer is not far from you. Houston has a vast Chinatown and I've been to Mala Sichuan there, but others can reco your specific dish. It is not within 5 miles. We also have a Mahatma Gandhi district on Hwy 59 @ Hillcroft that has amazing Indian food at places like London Sizzler and Himalaya. On Kirby near 59 is Pondicheri, an award winning Indian casual eatery, and on Westheimer near El Real, its upscale sister Indika is pricier and more elegant and that menu utilizes local ingredients where possible. Danton's Seafood is within 5 miles, I imagine and is excellent Gulf Coast Seafood with a Cajun flair. There are high end steaks everywhere. Vic and Anthony's downtown is a good choice for that, and is also a people watching location. Sport celebs like to eat there.
re: Lambowner
Boy, that's a lot of great recommendations! Thanks. I'll be investigating.
Chinatown is a bit of a cab ride away, but if you go here are some places.
At the end of this top ten there are a more top ten locations that will give you some ideas.
Hugo's chef Hugo Ortega is again nominated for James Beard top chef southwest. Mexican, not Tex-Mex but I love my Tex-Mex, see Lambowner.
You'll be very close to Rice Village -- check out Prego or Coppa Osteria for Italian; Shiva for Indian. Dolce Vita has legendary pizza. Hugos is THE go-to place for authentic Mexican. El Real Tex Mex is ... Tex Mex and some of the best. For national recognition, don't miss Underbelly. All of these are within 5 miles of Zaza.
Thanks for all these recommendations so far, everybody! From a quick review, I'm thinking Underbelly and Hugo's might be top picks, but I'll investigate further. And I'm still on the Chinese dumpling (esp. xiao long bao) hunt. Need to follow up on all these links...
Sabri Nihari is on Hillcroft close to route 59. It is pakistani and specializes in Nihari (which strictly speaking isn't regional as it migrated from India to Pakistan) and other muslim associated items like haleem. You can order a la carte and they also have a buffet at lunch. Their nan comes to you glistening immediately after preparation. Definitely low rent decor and prices but high rent flavor. This is my favorite Houston Indo/pak - along with the classier and more expensive Indika.
I think this is the summary of recs. so far:
Tex Mex: El Real on Westheimer
Chinatown: Mala Sichuan and others (cab ride away)
Indian: London Sizzler, Himalaya, Pondicheri and Indika (upscale) and Sabri Nihari (low-rent but excellent)
Seafood: Danton's Seafood
High-end Steaks: Vic and Anthony's downtown
Award-winning specialty-chef places: Hugo's, Underbelly
Italian: Prego or Coppa Osteria
Pizza: Dolce Vita
re: Bada Bing
Indikausa.com for Indian, Reef for regional Gulf coast seafood and Hugo's for mex. All, in the same vicinity and a short cab ride away. Avoid the dingy rest picks on Hillcroft and avoid the road snarls and construction in and near Chinatown.
Go to the MFA to view a terrific collection of a pvt collection of impressionist works, on tour,, steps from ur hotel. Oh, For Italian, houston style, enjoy Carrabba's on Kirby ave and Dolce Vita for pizza like they serve up in Naples!
re: brentk
I assume you mean Nara Thai? Excellent. I lived in Thailand for 3 years, so I have a fairly good reference point. I took Thai friends who had been in the mid-west for several months without Thai food, and they were very pleased. You can also order off-menu. You don't go there for the decor, you go for the food.
re: arashall
I was actually referring to Nara, the "modern" Korean restaurant at 2800 Kirby Drive. Sorry for the confusion. If anybody has thoughts about that place, I would still be interested.
Speaking of Korean, I arrived in Houston last night and wound up going to Down House to try the kimchi burger (that I also read about at houston.eater.com. I am still trying to wrap my head around the contrast in flavors between the sweetness of the Bulgogi sauce, the sourness of the kimchi, the garlic from the aioli, the egg and the cheddar cheese. Not sure it came together enough for me to want to order it again, but it was certainly worth a try.
re: brentk
Ah...this was my brain on drugs. I meant Vieng Thai, anyway. I was in the wrong city.
Update: I've got plans for two of our three dinner evenings. One dinner at Underbelly, another at Hugo's, and the third is still open. I gather that two Indian places are nearby to our conference (museum district and Hotel ZaZa): Indika and Pondicheri.
I'll take a look at other web chatter but would especially value what Houston chowhounds think of these two in relation to each other.
re: Bada Bing
Indika and Pondicheri are run by the same person. Both are great. Pondicheri is a more casual setting and food, whereas Indika is fancier. You really can't go wrong with either, so it just depends on what you are looking for. One other consideration is that I'm not sure Pondicheri takes reservations.
Somebody mentioned Korean. My personal fave is Bon Ga:
re: Bada Bing
There's a Hugo's menu discussion going on here:
I wonder if anyone on this board has been to Underbelly lately? I'm visiting in a week and have a reservation. As I started to google around to see what people like there, I noticed a rather large number of recent "meh" reviews on sites like Yelp, TripAdvisor, Urbanspoon, etc. An NY Times review from a year ago was much more glowing.
I'm never sure how much to trust those sites mentioned above.
re: Bada Bing
I've been a couple of times and it was very good. The menu changes frequently, but the dish that most people seem to mention is the Korean braised goat and dumplings. They used to have a dish called lamb helper that I loved, ground lamb with pasta. They do a nice job with the fish.
The Yelpy sites often don't track my opinion and with a no star opinion right next to a five star opinion, it often seems to muddy the waters. I mean, it can't be the worst in town and the best in town, can it?


text: Top IRS Official's Attorney from Firm with Close Ties to White House Print article Send a Tip by Peter Schweizer 22 May 2013 post a comment More: IRS Scandal On Wednesday, Internal Revenue Service (IRS) senior official Lois Lerner, the director of the division that singled out conservative groups for scrutiny, pleaded the 5th Amendment at congressional hearings. The lawyer by her side at the hearings, William Taylor III of Zuckerman Spaeder, comes from a firm with unusually close ties to the Obama White House Counsel's Office and Department of Justice. Zuckerman Spaeder has remarkably close ties to the Obama Administration. As The Washingtonian reported in 2012, "it appears that no other law firm has sent a higher percentage of partners into the Obama administration than Zuckerman Spaeder, a litigation boutique with fewer than 100 lawyers." Among them: Kathryn Ruemmler, the White House Counsel, is a former associate at the firm. Ruemmler was a White House official who knew in advance that the IRS Inspector General Report would show the targeting of conservative groups before it was released to the general public. Leslie Kiernan, a partner at Zuckerman, is the Deputy White House Counsel and works for Ruemmler. Kiernan represented Obama 2012 Campaign Manager David Pflouffe in a 1990s government investigation concerning illegal foreign donations to Robert Torricelli during his 1996 run for the Senate. Pflouffle was Torricellis campaign manager that year. He was cleared of all charges by the FEC. Norman Eisen, a partner at the firm, was Obama's "Ethics Czar" in the White House. Eisen attended Harvard Law School with Obama and was appointed by the President to be Ambassador to the Czech Republic. Beyond the White House, several senior Department of Justice officials come from the firm. Presumably, it would be the DOJ that would conduct any criminal investigation. These include: Elizabeth Taylor, a partner at Zuckerman, is the principal deputy associate attorney general at DOJ. Taylor attends the Daily Senior Management Meeting with the Attorney General, according to DOJ records. Ronald Welch, a partner at the firm, was the Assistant Attorney General for Legislative Affairs at DOJ until 2012. Beyond those two power centers, Zuckerman Spaeder attorneys also pepper other agencies. William Schultz, a partner at the firm, is General Counsel at the Department of Health and Human Services. Lisa Barclay, a partner at the firm, is the Chief of Staff at the Food and Drug Administration. Although the legal community is Washington can be tight knit, this sort of interlinking relationships is unusual when one considers previous high profile cases involving political scandal. Scooter Libby, aide to Vice President Dick Cheney, hired Ted Wells of Paul Weiss as his attorney when he faced legal inquiries concerning the leak of CIA information. That legal firm did not have unusually close ties to the Bush Administration. Oliver North chose Brendan Sullivan of Williams and Connolly, which likewise had no unusually close ties to the Reagan Administration. One case that does fit the pattern: Edith O'Brien, the central figure in the Jon Corzine MF Global case, selected Reid Weingarten as his attorney. Weingarten is Attorney General Eric Holder's self-described "best friend." O'Brien has yet to be charged or granted immunity in the case.

- Out of Town GuestJDMM0629Dined on 11/18/2014A place to bring customers from out of town and experience New York City eatery. My customers just rave about the food and service.... The wine cellar collection is amazing and moderately priced. The owner is at the door to greet his guests, on the floor to insure prompt service and of course over seeing the kitchen. One of New Yorks Finest Restaurants.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful ExperienceLuv2eatVIPDined on 11/18/2014I am in the hospitality business and entertain clients several times a week. I found this restaurant on line and decided to give it a try! I am so glad I did. The decor , food and service were truly A+ and I looked like a hero. Look forward to returning very soon and again when the winter wonderland is replaced with flowers.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SteveBDined on 11/15/2014Very beautiful/chic and upscale ambiance in the hip meat market district which makes it fun for young hipsters in particular; food was good but very over priced; service was poor given the price of the menu (had to ask for butter twice...and never got my decaf cappacino); noisy environment...but that's part of the scene. Great for having a fun dinner in a cool atmosphere...if you're not looking for value.Special Features:
- Very Very Good!!!XlmooseDined on 11/6/2014We went on a Thursday night on a friends recommendation and we were glad we went. Everything was A+ and food was on point. Seems to slow down around 11pm but we didn't care as we were well into our dinner. If you haven't tried this place-you should!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 11/4/2014Excellent food selection. The salad and mozzarella cheese appetizer was outstanding. The fish appetizer was just OK; a bit overpriced. The main courses were excellent; gnocchi special was superb. The napoleon desert was the best I have ever had. The wine list was very notable and very, very, very expensive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very Good and then Not so GoodMianyDined on 11/1/2014This is a beautiful restaurant without being stuffy. It will make whoever you take there or whatever celebration, feel special. The food is good but not very special except for the Napolean dessert which is not only delicious, but impressive! The night we were there the service was not so good -- the waiters tried but the food didn't come out of the kitchen and we waited about 30 minutes after our appetizer course for the main meal. It was also very warm and the fact that we sat by the kitchen didn't help.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- WillTravel4foodDined on 10/31/2014Incredible Italian restaurant located just steps from our hotel, The Standard High Line. Service couldn't have been any better, my branzino was cooked to perfection! Desserts were ridiculous, Napolean best I've ever had. This is truly a gem in the heart of the Meatpacking district.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- bonesVIPDined on 10/25/2014We have been here many times and it is always a great experience. We always make sure to get there during truffle season. Pasta is amazing. Have to share because it is so rich! It is always busy and has a great buzz; however this time it was so noisy I couldn't hear what my table mates were saying. I loved the food, but felt like I needed cotton in my ears. Itt will not keep me from returning though!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First Visit and Will ReturnLisaVIPDined on 10/23/2014Valbella did not disappoint. It was our first time dining in this restaurant so based on various reviews we were curious to try it out. The food was totally amazing; not one of the four of us was disappointed in our dish. We finished with the Napolean for dessert and it was out of this world. If you are headed to NY and want a true dining experience, you should try Valbella.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- unexpected treatthankgodimnotcookingagainDined on 10/18/2014Service excellent,our waiter that perfect blend of helpful and attentive but not overwhelming,well versed in the wine list (which is extensive- everything from $80 bottles to $5000 ones) Food was very good, not blow your mind, just delicious and generous. Endive/ blue cheese salad was fresh with perfect dressing, followed with creamy truffle pasta, could of had table side truffle shaving to be more upscale and immerse oneself in the unusual treat, but it was delicious none the less. Main course branzino filet was well sized and perfectly cooked. Husband shared GIGANTIC porterhouse with his friend and it looked magnificent. Dessert was a rich creamy tiramisu and fresh berries accompanied by 6 wait staff singing happy birthday-very festive.Special Features:
- Awesome staffOpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 10/18/2014I was at Valbella on Saturday night with 7 women and we had the best meal and drinks. What made the night was their great staff. The team of Sonny and Benny was awesome. They were attentive and entertaining at the same time. I highly recommend you request these two servers.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Meatpacking in traditionHolaVIPDined on 10/18/2014Valbella remains an institution in the meatpacking, trendy, expensive, loud and good quality. My advice, go there as a group, not a romantic night. Service was rather good and dishes arrived between 5 and 10 minutes of ordering, impressive when you think about the amount of guests. I recommend the crab cakes, they were spectacular.Special Features:
- Great italian foodOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 10/18/2014A large, bustling, happening place in the meat packing district. Lovely interior. Hefty tabs, service that wasn't up to the bill, but outstanding, memorable food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- OkayGinger186Dined on 10/18/2014My friend and I met for an early dining adventure. This high-end restaurant in a trendy neighborhood was welcoming and classy and best of all not too noisy. Unfortunately at almost $130 for each of us the food was just okay; not outstanding. Like so many restaurants I found my fish dish salty.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- disappointedthefriendlydinerDined on 10/14/2014Nice looking restaurant. Some food items were average, some very good. Our waiter was the worst waiter I have had in a nice restaurant. It seemed like this place is on its way out.Special Features:
- Nothing SpecialcgiganDined on 10/11/2014I anticipated way more from the food than what I received. My appetizer was just OK (fried zucchini flowers) and my dinner special was good, but nothing spectacular (bronzino with a simple sliced tomato salad on the side which I could have made at home). In addition, it was extremely pricey (appetizer was $36; main course was $50). My husband had the jumbo shrimp appetizer which came smelling very fishy. Our guest who ordered the same thing could not even eat it and sent it back. Overall, our bill came out to $440 for appetizers and dinner (no desserts or coffee) and one bottle of wine ($60). I will not return here.

- The best NYC has to offervilmarillionDined on 9/29/2014Every time I visit New York, I spend one evening at Valbella. For the latest visit, my mother and sister were visiting NYC for mom's birthday, so I made a reservation and flew in from the west coast for the day to take them to dinner here. From our arrival through post-dessert conversation, the entire experience was magnificent: the staff is charismatic and attentive without being overbearing, the ambiance is just right, the wine list is extraordinary, and the food is quite simply peerless. Additionally, the location -- midway between The Standard and Gansevoort hotels -- is a total catbird seat of happeningness to boot. Valbella cannot be oversold!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- A wonderful dining experienceVanDanVIPDined on 9/13/2014Fantastic restaurant - one of the most amazing dinners we've had with great wine recommendations. We had the seafood appetizer - with poached shrimp, a half of lobster and lump crab meat - this was to die for. Branzino was excellent, filet mignon with bone - also excellent. The halibut was very good - a little dry. Desserts - napoleon - huge portion - enough for 4 people - they tell you to split with 2 people but we split with 4 - it's a signature dish and wonderful. Service was great as well.Special Features:

- DisappointingGrapeyVIPDined on 9/9/2014Very pretty space but way too noisy! Waiter was less than solicitous, in fact was rushing us to order and seemed annoyed when we asked any questions about food. The restaurant was not crowded and no lines waiting to get in, so why the push and rush? Food was unremarkable. Buffalo mozzarella appetizer for two could have used some dressing. It was very bland. Halibut special was anything but. Very skimpy with the accompanying veggies and flavor was unremarkable. Wine menu never arrived after two requests and when our waiter was finally corralled, he just shrugged with annoyance and asked, "red or white" and suggested one possibility for each. Pretty expensive for bad service and mediocre food.

- Good Food - Service not so muchOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 8/30/2014Delicious Italian food. The menu is varied and it is quickly apparent that the food is fresh and well prepared. While not inexpensive, the portions are substantial. The place can get noisy when it fills up but tolerable. Our issue came with the service. There are loads of servers running around and food arrives promptly. However, to get someone's attention for more bread, water, etc is no easy task. Hard to figure. Also we found it odd that no one comes over to check if you need anything, ask how you meal is, etc. There are so many servers running around that this is hard to figure and the place was not full the evening we were there. We will gladly return - maybe just an off night - but should be better at these costs.Special Features:

- Lovely mealLDNYCVIPDined on 8/28/2014I was recently treated to a meal at Valbella downtown and had a very lovely experience. David, the owner, took the utmost care of us which contributed to our overall experience. The waitstaff was congenial and attentive, and the food was excellent. We had a seafood pasta with lobster, a cod special, and a salmon special. Though the seafood was simply garnished with some roasted vegetables, the execution was superb. The chocolate souffle we had was also expertly executed. The care taken to ensure we had the perfect meal was above and beyond our expectations. Thank you again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

After nearly a decade as the only bass in the Fender line, the Precision is joined by a new deluxe model bass guitar with dual pickups, a thinner neck and an offset waist. Together, both models would rule the electric bass world from this year onward with seeming impunity, as indeed they continue to do to this day. What is the name of the Precision's 1960 sibling?
Answer: The Jazz Bass, of course.

the qualicy of this product is amazing. My wife and I have a complete set of this cookware as well as additional pieces made by the same company. I would recommend this product to others. It heats evenly and quickly and all at a temperature lower than people think. We use a ceramic top range and have absolutely no problems with these products.
The very best from Calphalon. How could you go wrong? Terrific for sauces or small portions of anything. The slide interior is superior to the old baked on finishes. This is a good investment, and half the cost from the big "WS" cook store.
A good small sauce pot is a must for every cook. I use it on a regular basis and think that the quality is excellent and that it will last. Nothing sticks even gooey chocolate or white sauces. Also great for heating up just a small portion of food if I am alone. This piece is thicker than others in this series but is can't tell a difference.
4.5 out of 5 stars, based on 127 ratings
98% of reviewers recommend this product
93% say this is a "good value"
I am a lifetime Calphalon customer. In my opinion there cookware is an outstanding product. Also the most important thing about Calphalon is their commitment to customer satisfaction, and standing behind their products. Regards a very satisfied customer
I was looking for a very small pan and this fits the bill. I use it on the small "simmer" burner of my gas stove. The base of the pan is just 5 and 1/4 inches in diameter. The design and materials combine to do the job as described. It heats very evenly and is totally non-stick, except for the rivets on the inside of the pan. The shape does help keep stean inside when the pan is covered. I'm taking a cooking class just for sauces soon and I'm sure this pan will be great for them.
I bought this product because it was on sale for a reasonable price (<$50) and I am very pleased with the quality of this sauce pot. It's slightly heavy, but not too heavy (indicative of its good quality). It is the right size for someone warming up gravies or sauces and especially perfect for cooking for 1-2 people. The sauce always warms up rather quickly and clean up is an absolute breeze. When they say nonstick, they really mean nonstick! I would recommend this product to anyone who is considering investing in quality cookware - this is certainly a good addition to your kitchen (and for the right price too!)
Very please with this product. We just got married last year and recevied several of your cook ware items as gifts and have seen added several more items. we will continue to purchase items till we have a full set. We keep an eye out for sales all the time.
The saucier is perfect for making sauces, especially those thickened with flour. Clean up is a breeze. My old saucier was forever accumulating browned bits at the edges. With this pan, the flour browns evenly and blends perfectly. I love it.
I use this pot mainly to cook my morning oatmeal. It's great for that. Though a ducky little pot, it feels like it has some real heft to it, the result of excellent materials and manufacturing. The slightly curved handle feels good in the hand, and the pot's clean-up is quick, especially when I use a Scotch Brite non-stick cleaning pad, which Calphalon's Customer Service rep assured me was safe. This pot looks to have a very long life ahead of it.
Small pan that I can see what is going on while on the heat & the lid is comfortable to take off with my bare hand. The handle is also comfortable to bare hands. It is just right for small cooking jobs. Easy to clean.
This is a nice sauce pan, however, it is small. It is supposed to hold 4 cups of liquid, but I think I would have preferred a 2 or 3 quart to make rice and/or noodles. This is a nice pot if you want to heat up a can of soup or pasta sauce for 1 or 2 people, maybe boil 2 eggs at the most.
All in all, it is a good product, I just expected it to be larger.
I look along time to find cookware that is light weight. I had to hurt my arm serveral years age go, and as I 've gotten older it was hard to lift my old stainles steel pans. I do a lot of cooking didn't like the idea of asking my husband to lift the pans for me. When I come across Calphalon and found peices that I liked on sale I bought them. I love cooking in them, it doesn't take long for the pans to heat up and you don't have to cook with the flame on high. The skillets fry evenly and is great for crisp fried chicken or fried potatoes. I love the rubber handle, there is no risk of getting burned. I love the style of the Unison sauce pans.

Despite buying cameras which have been specifically designed to take and make use of different lenses, a large number of photographers only ever use the kit lens that their DSLR or interchangeable lens camera came with. It's really not that surprising, as picking the right next lens can be a daunting task. That's why we're going to try to help, with our guide to life after the kit lens. Read More

Nikon makes a splash with the AW1 waterproof mirrorless camera

Sony has announced the latest addition to its Alpha line-up of DSLR-like cameras the Alpha A3000.

Rapper-turned-actor Common has been chosen to star in the upcoming romantic sports movie Just Wright co-starring Paula Patton.
Common will also share screen time with Queen Latifah.
Fox Searchlight has tapped rapper-turned-actor Common (Terminator Salvation) as the lead opposite Queen Latifah in sports romancer Just Wright, with Sanaa Hamri directing. Paula Patton has also been cast. Latifah, Shakim Compere and Debra Martin Chase are producing. Shooting starts in mid-July in New York for a release next year. (Variety)
While details are still developing, the film will reportedly center on the life of a basketball player.
Script, penned by Michael Elliot, revolves around a sports trainer who finds herself falling in love with a professional basketball player while rehabilitating him from a career-threatening injury. (Theater Mania)
Rapper Lil Wayne is also working on a big budget movie project alongside Forest Whitaker, however, the film is allegedly out of production money.
Sources say the production company that is associated with the film has run out of money and its causing the film to be pushed back further and further. No word has been heard from Weezy's camp or from the production company about the status of Hurricane Season which was set to premiere sometime in late 2009. We will keep you updated when we hear more. (New Lil Wayne)
Other rappers struggling to get their films to the big screen include 50 Cent's Streets of Blood.
We have just confirmed with movie studio Anchor Bay that they have bought the outright film distribution rights to 50 Cent's new movie Streets of Blood. Those in the industry know though that Anchor Bay buys and distributes movies straight to video. For those 50 fans, you might remember that this is the movie where 50 and co-star Val Kilmer formed a strong friendship. (Woooha)
No further information on Just Wright has yet to be announced.

The DPP demonstrated that intensive lifestyle intervention achieved a 7% weight loss at 1 year and a 5% weight loss at study end and reduced the incidence of diabetes by 55% over 3.2 years in participants with impaired glucose tolerance. We examined which specific cognitive-behavioral factors predicted weight loss at 6 months, 1 year and study end for 274 of 1079 lifestyle participants from 18 of 27 DPP centers. The lifestyle subgroup completed questionnaires including the Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale, Weight Efficacy Lifestyle Questionnaire, Fat-Related Diet Questionnaire, Perceived Stress Questionnaire, Emotional Eating Questionnaire, Restraint Scale (Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire) and a subset of the Binge Eating Scale. Activity level was assessed using the Modifiable Activity Questionnaire (1 year recall) and the Low Level Physical Activity Recall (7 day recall). This subgroup was similar to the entire DPP lifestyle cohort at baseline: mean age was 52+/-12 (SD) yrs, mean baseline BMI 33.9+/-6.9 kg/m2, 65% were women, 62% were Caucasian, 20% African American, 14% Hispanic, and 4% Asian.
Psychological and Behavioral Predictors of 6 Month and 1 Year Weight Outcomes
The mean weight loss of this subgroup of DPP lifestyle participants was 7.3% at 6 months and 7.8% at 1 year with 53% achieving the 7% weight loss goal at 6 months and 51% achieving the 7% weight loss goal at 1 year, similar to the entire DPP lifestyle cohort. Stepwise logistic regression analyses adjusted for baseline weight found that the most important determinants of meeting the 7% weight loss goal at 6 months were greater dietary restraint (p=.035) and less frequent emotional eating (p=.002) at baseline, and greater improvements in dietary restraint (p=.0002) and low fat diet efficacy (p=.013) from baseline to 6 months. Stepwise multivariate regression analyses revealed that the most important predictors of greater mean percent weight loss at 6 months were fewer previous weight loss programs (p=.0002), more frequent weight cycling (p=.003), less high fat diet behavior at baseline (p<.0001) and improvements in low fat diet self-efficacy (p=.01), high fat diet behaviors (p<.0001) and dietary restraint skills (p=.015) from baseline to 6 months.
Significant baseline predictors of achieving a 7% weight loss at 1 year were lower perceived stress (p=.001), and less frequent high fat intake behaviors (p=.0006). Improvements in high fat intake behaviors (p=.029) and low fat diet self-efficacy (p=.01) from baseline to 6 months and improvements in dietary restraint skills (p=.003) from baseline to 1 year also predicted achievement of a 7% weight loss at 1 year. Stepwise multivariate regression analyses revealed that history of weight cycling (p<.0001) and greater baseline dietary restraint (p=.005) were positive predictors and frequency of previous self-imposed (p=.03) or formal weight loss programs (p=.015) were negative predictors of greater mean percent weight loss at 1 year. Improvements in dietary restraint skills from baseline to 6 months (p<.0001) and in low fat diet efficacy from baseline to 1 year (p=.001) were also independent predictors of greater mean percent weight loss at 1 year.
Conclusions: These results suggest that programs that foster dietary restraint skills and focus on the ability to change high fat intake behaviors and the self confidence to do so may yield the best weight loss results, especially in those who are not emotional eaters, have low levels of perceived stress and have not tried many weight loss programs in the past.
Psychological and Behavioral Predictors of Long-Term Weight Loss
Analysis after 3.2 years has revealed a mean weight loss of 5.3% +/- 7.3% with 41% (111 of 273) maintaining at least 7% weight loss in this subgroup, again similar to the entire DPP lifestyle cohort. Using stepwise linear regression analyses, the most important determinants of long-term mean % weight loss were: older age (p=.001); lower activity (p=.014) , higher weight (p=.009) and fewer previous weight loss programs (p=.009), all at baseline; less high fat diet behavior at 1 year (p=.0002) and improved dietary restraint baseline to 1 year (p=.013). Total R2 for all predictors combined was 22.4%. The most important determinants of meeting the 7% weight loss goal were: older age (p=.0001); lower baseline activity (p=.001) and higher baseline weight loss self-efficacy (p=.04); better dietary restraint (p=.02) at 1 year; and improvements in low fat diet self-efficacy (p= .009) and activity (p=.02) from baseline to 1 year.
Conclusions: Those DPP participants who were older and presented with higher initial weight, lower activity levels, higher self-confidence in ability to lose weight and had been in fewer weight loss programs lost more weight long-term. The results suggest that programs that foster dietary restraint skills, increased activity, reductions in high fat diet behaviors and increased self-efficacy regarding ability to follow a low fat diet may yield the best long-term weight loss results.
Completeness of Follow up
The completeness of follow up was excellent in this study with 98% of questionnaires returned at 6 months, 95% at 1 year and 93% at study end. The next steps are to analyze data on the psychological and behavioral factors associated with weight regain/relapse.

text: Daniel Defense Ad Rejected, but Bloomberg's Gun Control Spot Ran During 2013 Super Bowl Print article Send a Tip by AWR Hawkins 3 Dec 2013 post a comment As news continues to circulate about the NFL rejecting gun manufacturer Daniel Defense's Super Bowl ad because of the league's ban on firearm-related advertisements, attention is being drawn to the fact that Mayor Bloomberg's Mayors Against Illegal Guns aired a firearm-related ad during the 2013 Super Bowl in a local market (Washington, D.C). And the details surrounding both advertisements seem quite similar. For instance, Bloomberg's ad aired regionally rather than nationally. And when Breitbart News spoke with Daniel Defense's Jordan Hunter on December 3rd, he said Daniel Defense was likewise seeking a regional commercial slot for their ad. According to The New York Times, because Bloomberg's ad was regional instead of national the spot for it cost hundreds of thousands of dollars instead of millions. Daniel Defense had allocated hundreds of thousands for their regional ad as well. The big difference in the two ads is that Bloomberg's ad actually mentioned guns--the Daniel Defense ad does not. In fact, the Daniel Defense ad does not even show a gun, save for the silhouette of one contained in their logo. Furthermore, Daniel Defense also aired an ad in the Georgia television market during the 2012 Super Bowl without complaints from the NFL. The Daniel Defense ad focuses on self-reliance, and the responsibility of watching out for one's own family. Since Breitbart News's November 27th report on the NFL's rejection of the Daniel Defense ad, readers have commented on how shameful it is to see the NFL refuse an ad that highlights self-reliance while embracing numerous commercials that seem to vie each year for the title of "sluttiest" Super Bowl advertisement.
