How was it seeing ''Days of Wine and Roses'' [unrated, 117 mins., 1962, Warner] for the first time since directing it?
I was moved on a number of levels. It really resurrected Lee [Remick] and Jack [Lemmon], and I was very emotional.
The biggest challenge for Lemmon and Remick?
It was hard for them to act drunk while sober, to not overdo it.
Remick's sloppy drunk motel scene?
It just wasn't happening, so we went to my dressing room, and I hypnotized her. I know that sounds like a joke, but I had been fooling around with hypnotism to stop smoking. Then she did the scene and it was really remarkable.
The bleak ending?
''It's got to have a happy ending,'' [studio head] Jack Warner said when we ran the film for him. ''You can't have Lee not recover.'' But he had shown up with an attractive, middle-aged lady who blasted him: ''That's real. What you're suggesting isn't.'' And he grudgingly gave in to her. I discovered later that she had been a notorious hooker. We owe the ending of the film, bless her everlasting good heart, to a former hooker.

Nymph-Head Articulated Wiggle-Tail Shank for Trout Flies
Articulation for smaller flies now made easy. The Wiggle-tail Shank offers a convenient way to tie articulated "wiggle-tails" or rear body sections on a variety of smaller trout flies.
20 Shanks per package
This innovative product eliminates the need to "sacrifice a hook" to get a shank.
This product is flexible enough for flies in the #6 to #18 hook size range.
The long shank is easily trimmed to the tail length needed to match the size of fly being tied.
By design the shank can be bent if a curved tail is desired on the fly.
Wire diameter thin enough to tie articulated flies as small as #18 and even light enough for dry flies.
The Articulated Wiggle-Tail Shank is a simple product giving fly tiers new opportunities for creativity.

Social Security Hiring
The Social Security Administration currently shows 183 job openings, which sounds like a lot and which is a lot compared to the hiring the agency has done in recent years.

The company provides a hybrid cloud PaaS approach for enterprises by connecting Windows Server 2012 environments with cloud-based Windows Azure resources. Windows Azure users can use Apprenda to develop, deploy and manage cloud applications without conflict with private PaaS.
"Windows Azure is a global, scalable cloud platform that gives developers flexibility to target public, private, and hybrid cloud environments," said Bill Hilf, General Manager, Windows Azure Marketing. "Apprenda helps enterprises utilize Windows Azure's strengths so that applications can take advantage of public and private PaaS scenarios."
Apprenda believes enterprises want hybrid cloud architectures. IT allows you to define multiple clouds including combinations of private/public/hosted and create policies to automatically deploy applications within or across these clouds. You can even "single click" move application components between clouds including between your on premise Windows Servers and Windows Azure. IT can define and automate how applications are assigned to infrastructure without ever exposing it to developers. IT also adds support for multi-tenant queues, it automatically re-configures apps as you move between dev/test and production and it supports Windows Services as part of your app.
The enhanced product adds support for all Windows and Visual Studio integration and extends support for all of Microsoft's latest releases, including .NET 4.5, SQL Server 2012, and Windows Server 2012. Developers increase productivity in building next generation cloud architected applications and modernizing existing application portfolio with minimal adjustment to code. With new System Center 2012 integration, Apprenda can run across multiple datacenters (private/public/hosted) and yet be managed centrally.
Apprenda has raised more than $16M in venture capital from early stage investment fund High Peaks Venture Partners, Ignition Partners, and the world's largest venture fund New Enterprise Associates (NEA) Some of customers of Apprenda are Honeywell, Symantec, and Diebold. Some of its competitors are VMware's Cloud Foundry and new player like AppFog. Apprenda licensing information can be known from their website.

And I only watched the first 25 minutes. It is inconcievable to me that
anyone could make a film this hopelessly, endlessly, mind-meltingly
bad. This is not a bad movie - it's a war crime. Somehow the producers
actually managed to cast supporting players bad enough to make Kelly
Clarkson and even the talent free Justin Guarini seem good by
The alleged "choreography" ammounts to nothing more than frantic flailing of limbs. Accents come and go with wild abandon. The songs are, to put it charitably, forgettable. I'm surprised "American Idol" judge Randy Jackson isn't credited as a writer, because the dialouge is that witless and badly phrased.
This is the worst thing humanity has ever done.
Yes, it finally came on cable. And, in order to keep up my credentials
as an expert on badfilm, I had to deal with this monstrosity sooner or
later. So, without further ado...
Who thought this was a good idea? Trying to make a quick buck off of a flavor-of-the-week TV show I can understand, but who thought this had any chance of success? Too retarded for anyone over 14; too campy and too much like a "Gidget" remake for the 9-14 set; too much skin for the "Barney the Dinosaur" crowd. Not enough plot for a 30 minute sitcom, and every teensploiter movie cliché ever, without either the humor (the saving grace for the good ones) or the nudity (sometimes, the saving grace for the bad ones). Anyway, a few random notes:
1. One of the first songs was Kelly Clarkson's remake of "Vacation" by the Go-Go's. I always considered this to be a light, bouncy pop song. That was, of course, until Kelly and her overproduction team sucked the life out of it. Now as bouncy as a Complin Service, this one made me wish for a brief return of the early, punk, Go-Go's, who probably would have roughed up anyone who did one of their songs this badly.
2. Justin, teen heartthrob? He is so thin I might be able to tie a string to him and fly him on a high wind day! With that 'fro, he looks a little like a pipe cleaner. Note to the Director: having Justin wear a black shirt when all the other guys in a song set are shirtless is not hiding anything; he sticks out like, well like a black pipe cleaner in a sea of artificial tan.
3. Aw, look: the obvious backstabbing friend/ nemesis slut girl with the hee-haw southern accent is trying to steal Kelly's scenes away from her by overacting in contrast to Kelly's underacting! Sorry, young lady obviously chosen for your ability to pack a small swimsuit: nobody who cares is watching.
4. Justin's "nerd" friend/ sidekick: you can almost see the lineage trace lines, going back through far superior nerd/ sidekicks ("Better off Dead," "Ferris Bueller's Day off"), all the way back to the early "Beach Party" movies and Rebel Without a Cause. In fact, his clothes seem to be lifted from the outfits from the early "Beach Party" movies' nerd/sidekick wardrobes; if they actually date from the early 1960's, they might be considered retro/cool in some circles and thus worth more than the rest of this film.
5. Oh, the intense chemistry between Justin and Kelly... Really, I am serious. Oh, yes. Alan Rickman and Kate Winslet, in Sense and Sensibility, were an overflowing cauldron of unrestrained sexual passion compared to these two. If Justin was trying to dispel those "man's man" rumors, this did nothing to help.
How to get the movie to go from sluggish to dead in the water: Justin and Kelly, alone, in a scene for more than five seconds.
6. Kelly's nice black friend is being taken to a ritzy Latin nightclub, which is located in...an abandoned corrugated metal shack??? I need to check that abandoned building on the next block; the Cotton Club might have started a branch there. Mitigating factor: the Latin dancers were way more talented than the blandly white beach dancers in the other scenes.
7. OK, Kelly, so you admire Bjork. I can see you appreciate her independence, willingness to go her own way, and most of all given your situation, her career longevity. If you want to do a homage to Bjork, altering your bland, middle-of-the-road song delivery would be a good place to start. Your hairdo was, in fact, not a good place to start.
8. Hee-haw girl does a bad impersonation of Madonna's "Material Girl" video. Which means, of course, she is doing an even worse second-derivative impersonation of Marilyn Monroe. This has no purpose other than to satisfy some requirement in her contract that she got to be the lead in one song number.
9. Telepathic singing? Oh, no- "Glitter" flashbacks!
10. Justin in a game of hovercraft dodge-ball? The stunt double must be a girl to get the sizes right. Oh, look, the danger: he has lost control of a motorized inflatable hovercraft in three feet of warm water!
11. Hee-haw evil girl is proud of notching up various studs, and now she is hitting on- Justin???
12. THAT was how evil hee-haw girl's plots were discovered? Did the budget get pulled, and they needed a way of wrapping up the plot faster than you could say "Deus Ex Machina?"
13. The final massive musical number: a K.C. and the Sunshine Band cover! While deeply painful on so many levels (including watching nerd-boy dance), at least they mangled an already bad song, rather than torture a once respectable song.
Anyway, yes, this movie is just as bad as you have heard.
IMDb should consider creating a "0" rating below the current "1".
The description should read "dreadful".
Truly, a complete waste of time and resources.
This is the one aspect of being a father I can do without: Having to sit through an 82 minute eternity of this garbage.
The acting by these two American Idol "stars" is naturally primitive, however, one would think ("one" being the producers who are responsible for the millions of dollars it takes for a major motion picture) that someone would have given these kids acting lessons.
What may even be more frightening is that this picture probably made oodles of money.
Sometimes it is embarrassing to be an American.
Miss this one.
After 23 years a movie comes along and achieves what I previously
thought was impossible. "From Justin to Kelly" usurps "Can't Stop the
Music" as the worst musical of all time. It even surpasses such
landmark musical turkeys as "Grease 2", "At Long Last Love", "Staying
Alive" and "Lost Horizon".
The two "leads" have no charisma, no screen presence and no acting ability. Their first movie will probably be their last. Just because a person can be successful in music, doesn't mean they have talent in the acting department. Madonna has proved this theory.
The movie contains some of the most banal dialogue in film history. The screenplay isn't underwritten but unwritten. Calling the music "forgettable" would be a kindness. The choreography is also inept.
After rubbing my eyes in disbelief and removing my earplugs, I was astonished to note that film's running time was only 81 minutes. However, it felt like 3 hours. Needless to say I will not be subjecting myself to the "extended version."
"From Justin to Kelly" is simply a slapdash quickie designed to cash in on the success of 'American Idol.' The movie is an insult even to fans of the TV show.
Because I generally only give 'zero stars' to movies I find offensive, I will award "From Justin to Kelly" 1/2 star (out of four).
There are bad movies. There are really bad movies. And then there's this one. Morbid curiosity compelled me to seek it out, just so I could see for myself exactly how dreadful it was. I got about eight minutes into the 'film' before I suddenly developed an overwhelming urge to run around hitting things very, very hard. Still, 'From Justin To Kelly' really is a must see flick if you have any dreams of breaking into the movies, because believe me, if utter garbage like this can be solicited, then quite literally anybody's got a shot.
Before Kelly Clarkson actually started producing some decent pop, this
was pretty much the only product of American Idol for a bit. And what
an product it was. The sheer lack of enthusiasm put forward in this
movie is, to say the least, daunting.
Set during a spring break, Kelly, the clichéd Texan girl who wants to be a big singer but is stuck in a lowly bar, runs into Justin, who smiles an abnormally large amount and has a really, seriously ridiculous perm. I mean, come on. It looks like cotton candy. They both go to Florida, and watch loads of "babes" and do a bunch of PG-13 related spring break hi-jinks, of which there aren't many. Hence why they're college hi-jinks. Doi.
Anyway, after a rather dumb meet cute between Justin and Kelly, the plot, which would have difficulty filling up a 22 minute sitcom let alone this 90 minute trash fest, begins to unfold. Basically, Kelly's blonde friend wants Justin, and he wants Kelly, so to get revenge on him, she gives him her phone number, and then makes it look like Kelly doesn't care about him. I'm sure you can imagine the complex and thought provoking scenarios that this could spin out into, but don't hurt yourself.
A quick note on the musical numbers: you have a mute button. Employ it LIBERALLY. Thank you.
Obviously, From Justin to Kelly is meant for twelve year old girls, who have seen the same plot a couple of dozen times before, only this time it doesn't involve Barbie and/or Fairies (insert joke here). If you are a twelve year old girl, go rent Sleepover. It's much better than this, and it has cute boys. If you're not a twelve year old girl (which is a good thing), stay, stay away from this factory made piece of crap.
Couldn't believe my eyes at this shameful, pathetic excuse for a movie. It isn't even a movie, just an excuse for the producers to squeeze a few extra dollars out of last year's American Idol finalists. I feel sorry for director Robert Iscove; not because I think his films are any good, but because this movie will permanently discredit him as a director. 1/10, and that's only because there's no '0' option.
This movie is terrible because it was made 40 years too late. The American Idol hype fueled the studios ambition to crank out a quick blah blah story about Justin and Kelly. The end result, a soup sandwich with no audience. The fact that what works on television doesn't always work on the "big screen," is true in the case of From Justin to Kelly. The production value is professional and many of the dance numbers took long hours and hours to practice and to get right. Still, nobody cares. The movie itself (on paper) was a joke to begin with. There are only a handful of lines worth hearing through this 90 minute movie. The rest can be considered pop-culture junk or better yet, left overs that nobody wants to have for dinner.
I was forced to go see this with a friend for her birthday. I knew it would be dumb but thought that it would at least be something to laugh at. It was one of those rare movies that is too bad even for perverse entertainment. As it began I thought well the story will be stupid but maybe it will have good songs. The songs were the worst part! The transitions into these musical numbers were so awkward. And the songs themselves were not remotely entertaining. Kelly comes off as likable in the movie but I grew to despise every other character in the space of 15 minutes. I don't see this becoming a cult classic. It also made me feel relieved that I never went to Florida for Spring Break. Kelly Clarkson is a sweet girl but she should stick to singing and get a new agent.
This is a poor attempt to capitalize on the popularity of the American Idol show. Unfortunately they chose to use the people rejected from the show as cast. Save the ticket fee this one comes out on video in July. Or you can keep an eye on the Late, Late, Late Show, you will see this one with its twin Glitter.

"Share this and money will come to you"
Prediction comes true for Chicago Resident – Wins $133,333 Illinois Lottery Prize
|For Immediate Release
|Contact: Karina Rosado 773-569-1342
Chicago, IL—June 20, 2014 — "All I did was share a post on social media that said 'share this and money will come to you', and three days later I won the Lottery!" said Emma Ramos when she presented her winning Lucky Day Lotto ticket at the Illinois Lottery Prize Center in Chicago. The Chicago resident won a $133,333 jackpot prize when her Quick Pick ticket matched all five numbers – 11 - 22 - 32 - 34 – 37 – in the Tuesday, May 24 evening drawing.
Ramos was at a store buying a soda when she bought a $1 Lucky Day Lotto Quick Pick ticket. The next day she returned to the same store to check the winning Lucky Day Lotto numbers and was surprised when the clerk told her she'd won. After signing the back of the ticket, she rushed back to the car where her husband was waiting for her. While waiving the ticket she said to him, "Kiss me honey, I think we're rich!"
Ramos, 76, is a retired dentist and has been living in Illinois for more than 50 years. She is married with two children. Her plans for the windfall are to pay bills and take a vacation, possibly to her native country of the Philippines. When asked what advice she would give to other lottery players she said, "Believe anything's possible!"
The winning ticket was purchased at Bockwinkle's, 155 North Harbor Drive in Chicago. The retailer will receive a $1,333 bonus, equal to 1 percent of the prize amount, for selling the winning ticket. Three winning tickets shared the May 24 $400,000 jackpot. The other two $133,333 winning tickets were purchased at Berwyn Amoco, 3845 South Harlem Avenue in Berwyn and Citgo, 4901 South Central Avenue in Stickney.
Jackpots for Lucky Day Lotto start at $100,000. Drawings are twice a day, seven days a week with an average of 40,000 winners every day. That's over 250,000 winners in Illinois each week! For more information, please visit www.illinoislottery.com.
Founded in 1974, the Illinois Lottery has contributed over $18 billion to the state's Common School Fund to assist K-12 public schools, as well as hundreds of millions of dollars to the Capital Projects Fund and to special causes like Illinois Veterans, the fight against breast cancer, MS research, and assistance for people living with HIV/AIDS. In addition to playing in-store, the Illinois Lottery offers online and mobile play for Mega Millions, Powerball and Lotto at www.illinoislottery.com. Players must be at least 18 years old.

Look For Under Pressure DSS Stock To Get A Boost From New IP Leadership Following Corporate Merger Along With Improved Third Quarter Results
CHICAGO, Dec. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - Lexington Technology Group Inc. (LTG) recently appointed veteran IP executive Jeff Ronaldi as chief executive officer of the company, as it prepares for a merger with Document Security Systems Inc. (NYSE MKT: DSS). Ronaldi will continue as CEO following the merger. Ronaldi, a former board advisor to Lexington, replaced Will Rosellini, who now assumes an advisor role to LTG's wholly owned subsidiary, Bascom Research, LLC.
Ronaldi has spent the last ten years specializing in monetizing patents. Ronaldi brings expertise in leading successful patent lawsuits, including winning a $50 million verdict for Shelbyzyme against Genzyme and a $20 million willful infringement verdict versus Citrix Systems Inc. in 2012. He also managed a venture capital group for SPX Corp, in which he was behind a patent infringement lawsuit against Microsoft that resulted in a $62.3 million verdict, which later settled for $60 million. Prior to LTG, Ronaldi served as CEO of Turtle Bay Technologies, Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Juridica Capital. There, he used his financial expertise to determine the value of different patent technologies.
"In many ways, leading Lexington is a perfect opportunity to leverage the two phases of my career: leading technology startups and monetizing IP," Ronaldi stated about his appointment. "One of the things that attracted me to Lexington is the quality of the portfolio. I've been monetizing patents for more than 10 years and I've had a lot of success. I expect this portfolio to be every bit as successful as any of the others I've managed."
Also, DSS has promoted Robert Bzdick to acting CEO. Bzdick , DSS's current President and Chief Operating Officer, brings an extensive background in managing manufacturing operations. He will assume this role until the merger of the two companies become finalized, projected for the in the first half of 2013.While LTG owns intellectual property assets, DSS specializes in anticounterfeit, authenticication, and mass-serialization technologies. Its technologies are designed to determine the authenticity of different products in various forums. This combination will help strengthen DSS's intellectual property portfolio and potentially enhance its revenue through the monetization of the combined company's intellectual property assets. If the merger closes, LTG will bringing over $7 to $10 million in debt free cash to DSS. Bascom Research LTG acquired patent assets from Thomas L. Bascom, president of LinkSpace, LLC. LTG and Linksys are currently collaborating, through Bascom Research, to pursue research and development of radio frequency identification (RFID) software for use in the electronic health records space. Bascom Research hopes to increase the safety of patents in hospitals through utilizing its assets with LinkSpace's enterprise-level software framework and DSS's digital security. Bascom Research also owns several patents regarding the means for companies to utilize social media. For the most part, Bascom Research is enforcing these patents by suing major social media platforms for patent infringement. Bascom Research could bring hundreds of millions of dollars to the new combined LTG/DSS entity if it can win any of its lawsuits filed against five companies, including Facebook (FB), LinkedIn (LNKD), and Jive Software (JIVE), which are pending in federal court for the Eastern District of Virgina. For its claims against Facebook, Bascom is seeking past damages dating back to 2006. Since that time, the social media giant has generated $7.38 billion, so a potential damages award could be massive. A hearing is scheduled for December 7, 2012 to determine whether the case will remain before the "rocket docket" in Virginia or be moved elsewhere. DSS 3 rd Quarter Results DSS reported several improvements in its Q3 results including a 15% revenue jump from Q3 of 2011. Year-to-date, total revenue is $11.7 million, which is a 27% increase from 2011 and put ths company on pace for its strongest year. Increased sales in the packaging division led the way for DSS, rising 39% during the quarter. Licensing and digital sales also increased by 13% from the prior quarter. Overall, for the first nine months of 2012, packaging sales are up by 54% from the first nine month of 2011 and licensing and digital sales have increased 27%.

Best thing for a stomach virus?
|Wed, 01-16-2013 - 2:13pm
There has been a terrible puky diarhrea stomach bug going round the family for a couple of weeks now. My sister said a nurse at her work said warm flat sprite is the best thing to take for something like that but i read somewhere warm coke was the best. My mother says ice chips and gaterade. Which is it?
|Wed, 01-16-2013 - 5:16pm
The best thing is warm sprite and water (a half of warm water and a half of warm sprite) and don't eat anything for a little while. and get plenty of rest.
|Fri, 01-18-2013 - 1:27pm
Warm Sprite is what I've always heard as well. Blech- just thinking about the tummy bug makes me feel yucky. Hopefully your family feels better soon!
|Tue, 01-22-2013 - 1:59pm
Flat (warm) ginger ale was always my family's favorite. But I think most ginger ale these days doesn't have much ginger in it. Ginger tea is also very good for the upset tummy. I think really any clear liquid is good. No milk products or solid food until things start to settle down.

...tupelo honey Shes an angel of the first degree Shes as sweet as tupelo honey Just like honey from the bee I was stuck in traffic on my way home from University Village one afternoon, radio blasting, when the Van Morrison song Tupelo Honey came on. The next thing I know, I'm home and I've ordered a 1/2 case, because it would make a great title for a blog post! I imagined all the cool honey things I could make... honey ice cream, honey panna cotta, honey walnut prawns. It's been many months now since that fateful day, and with many bottles of honey still in the cabinet, I figured it was time to get cracking on those recipes. In that time, I've also happened upon several other honeys to add to my collection, including a local Raspberry Honey that came in last summer's CSA basket and a beautiful golden jar of honey from Oxfordshire, given to me by Andrew of Spittoon on my recent trip to London. Before I get to cooking, I thought a tasting was in order.

US economic growth slows sharply to 0.1% in first quarter
US economic growth slowed sharply in the first quarter of the year, growing at an annual rate of 0.1%.
The rate is the slowest for a year and a large fall on the 2.6% increase in gross domestic product (GDP) in the final quarter of last year.
An unusually cold and disruptive winter, coupled with tumbling exports, contributed to the decline, the US Commerce Department said.
But it said economic activity already appeared to be bouncing back.
Business investment fell by 2.1%, with spending on equipment plunging by 5.5% at an annual rate compared with a year earlier.
Residential construction, which was inevitably hit by the unusually cold winter fell by 5.7% although it was also hit by higher house prices and a shortage of available homes for sale.
This is a standstill number. If we follow the British practice of giving the figures as a quarterly growth rate to one decimal place we get 0.0%.
Yes, we knew that bad winter weather would be, as it were, a headwind that would slow the US economy down. But this was a much sharper loss of momentum than expected.
It does give some support to the views of the Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen that the economy is not back to normal health and will need the stimulus from Fed policies for some time yet.
Still, consumer spending was quite strong in the new figures and the chances are that the slowdown in growth will be relatively short-lived.
The US trade trade deficit deficit widened, thanks to a sharp fall in exports which shaved growth by 0.8 percentage points in the first quarter. Businesses also slowed their restocking, with a slowdown in inventory rebuilding reducing growth by nearly 0.6 percentage points.
But consumer spending - which drives 70% of growth in the US economy - grew by 3%, although the increase was dominated by a 4.4% rise in spending on services, reflecting higher utility bills during the bitterly cold winter.Rebound
A cutback in spending by state and local governments also helped offset a rebound in federal activity after the 16-day partial government shutdown last year.
But most economists expect a strong rebound in growth in the April-June quarter. The consensus view is the economy will expand by 3% in the second quarter.
Analysts said stronger growth will endure through the rest of the year as the economy derives help from improved job growth, rising consumer spending and a rebound in business investment.
"Everything else is showing us that the economy is picking up," said Gus Faucher, from PNC Financial Services in Pittsburgh.
"This weakness is not carrying through to the second quarter."
In fact, many analysts believe 2014 will be the year the recovery from recession finally achieves the robust growth needed to accelerate hiring and reduce still-high unemployment.
If the economy rebounds as strongly as they suggest, it will have experienced the fastest annual expansion in the economy in nine years.Tapering to stay
The last time growth was as strong was in 2005, when GDP grew 3.4%, two years before the nation fell into the worst recession since the 1930s.
Unemployment is expected to fall to 6.2% by the end of this year from 6.7% in March.
Joel Naroff, chief economist at Naroff Economic Advisors, said he expected job growth to average above 200,000 a month for the rest of the year - starting with the April jobs report, which will be released Friday.
"Those are the types of job gains which will generate incomes and consumer confidence going forward," he added.
The growth figures come a few hours before a policy statement from the US Federal Reserve, the country's central bank.
But few expect the disappointing news to have any impact on the scaling back of the Fed's economic stimulus, which has seen it cut bond purchases by $10bn per month.
"We rule out that the Fed will modify its policy outlook on the back of today's GDP report and the gradual tapering is set to continue in the coming months," said Annalisa Piazza, from Newedge Strategy in London.

This is one of my new favorite creations. I had a bunch of green beans needing to be used up quickly. It is so simple and absolutely delicious. Enjoy!
- 2 cups hot water or chicken broth
- 1/2 cup coconut cream concentrate
- 1 1/2 -2 pounds fresh green beans, stems removed
- Salt & pepper to taste
1. In a medium saucepan, mix hot water/broth with coconut cream concentrate.
2. Steam green bean just until bright green.
3. Place all ingredients into a blender and purée until smooth.
4. Season to taste (see variations) and heat or chill.
5. Serve warm or chilled.
- Adjust the water/broth as desired.
- Add your favorite snippets of herbs or spices.
- Use broccoli in replace of green beans.
This also makes a nice dressing for your favorite salad, a sauce, dip or gravy for veggies or veggie burgers.

Are the green beans cooked in the broth/coconut mixture or are they cooked separately? The instructions weren't clear.
# Posted By Simi | 7/4/09 1:44 PM
The green beans are steamed with plain hot water, however much you think is needed. The coconut cream mixture is the soup base so once you mix it up just set it aside. :)
# Posted By Sarah | 7/4/09 3:03 PM
thank you Sarah for responding. Yes the green beans are steamed in plain hot water.

I am back from a great week of bookmaking with a great bunch of women. Pam Sussman put together a wonderful group of projects for us and fun activities to round it all out.
We started with some easy and clever projects that could easily be made assembly line for gifts or favors. Above is a two-ring mini binder made from scratch and a clever elastic binding for a notebook that can be refilled. Below is a note pad that goes together in a flash. We all made several of these.
One morning was spent silk screening with the Yudu machine. It was so easy and so addictive. The tall narrow book below was covered with a sheet of printed scrapbook paper that I screen printed over. I love the binding stitch on this booklet. So loopy!
Another day we made a book that had a zillion pieces to cut and was rather complicated, but when it was all finished, it looked simple, but quite nice.
My favorite project wasn't even a book. We each made a box. We built the basic form and covered it all with papers.
Our last project was a wooden triangular shaped book sculpture that fans out when laid on a flat surface.
We also spent a day shopping in Chicago for papers, ribbons and art supplies because you all know that if the instructor has cool tools, the students must have them too.
Thanks Pam for a great time.

PAR - Measuring Power:
PAR (Photosynthetically Active Radiation) is the common measurement used to help determine the photosynthetic amount of light needed by corals and plant life for growth and vitality. PAR measures the electromagnetic radiation between 400-700nm, which is necessary for photosynthesis for live animals. SKKYE LIGHT LEDs are engineered to handle the PAR needs from novice to expert levels of coral needs.
Optics - Directing Light:
We've designed our LEDs with both primary and secondary reflectors to cast the most light for wider coverage while maintaining stronger PAR values in the center. SKKYE LIGHT LEDs contain both 30 degree optics in the center and 120 degree optics around the perimeter.

My Purchase of the Nuvo Nano 16 Black 14,000K Aquarium Kit Review by Michael
Product Rating:
I was excited to receive my Nuvo Nano 16. I already have the Nuvo 38 Black Aquarium, so I knew the Nuvo line was excellent. The Nano 16 was very easy to set up and extremely quiet when running. The lighting I picked was the 14,000K and it turns out that it's just the right amount of lighting. This size tank is perfect for a bedroom, small corner of the living room. I could not be happier with my purchase. This is my second tank and I must say, it will not be my last - it's just an awesome style and great looking wherever you place it. I will continue to place my aquarium needs with Aqua Cave. They have the best prices anywhere. Thank you again, Aqua Cave. (Posted on 10/28/2014)

Wimbledon a Boon for Tennis.com
Magazine site sees traffic surge during men's final.
Grass courts. Tennis whites. Big ratings.
I'm writing about Wimbledon, of course.
While NBC saw the marathon men's final between Roger Federer and Andy Roddick draw the contest's biggest TV ratings since 2000, other media outlets capitalized on the frenzy, too.
Tennis magazine's Web site Tennis.com, for instance, saw 104,022 unique visitors and 994,250 page views during the four hour and 16 minute match. That's up almost 25 percent and 55 percent from the epic Federer vs. Rafael Nadal final last year, the magazine said.
Over the two weeks Wimbledon took place, Tennis.com saw the number of unique visitors increase 25 percent and page views jump 34 percent over last year. Tennis.com editor James Martin attributed the surge to the "quality and quantity of our reporting. Amid our competitors, we're the first to post on breaking news and big match results."
Tennis.com better bulk up on bandwidth if Federer goes for his sixth straight U.S. Open championship this fall.

Vulvar acne/bumps on vulva and scalp! Need advice!
When I was actually having a period because i was on bc, I would get these pimples right before or during my period on the vulvar area. It was never a lot, just one or two, but they would always be really painful and they would eventually drain. (sorry if thats tmi)
Well now i'm getting these bumps a lot more often, i feel like the entire external area is riddled with them. I also havent had my period in 7 months.
I'm pretty sure this is some form of cystic acne in my nether regions and that its tied to hormones.
I just don't know what to do about them. How can i prevent them and treat them? They hurt and are itchy and uncomfortable. They aren't STD related, i've never had sex and am STD free. Also this has been happening for years, it's just in the past year or so that they've become a lot more frequent.
I get similar bumps on my scalp, they itch and then scab over. And I def. have lots of dandruff. Ugh it makes my head feel so gross!
The more i read about PCOS the more i realize all my symptoms are united through it. I used to think of all these issues as completely seperate issues (and have also been told so). but my gut instinct is that it isn't.
Anyways advice would be great! I'm just so itchy.

I don't get anything like that on/around the genital area so much but I do get them on my scalp. I get what feel like cysts or hives on my scalp that itch and/or an extremely dry/flaky scalp that I find myself scratching and digging at constantly/absentmindedly if I'm left without something to keep my hands occupied, and then they begin to sting/burn and scab over eventually. They usually only have clear fluid in them unless I scratch too hard and make them bleed. I get them all along my jaw line and around my ears and hairline as well as on my chest and shoulders, and around my neck. I'm trying to pinpoint exactly what is causing it... I have found though that if I lose a bit of weight I can control this and other PCOS symptoms to a point, but right now I'm at a heavier weight and so my symptoms have returned. If anyone knows of any treatments aside from the obvious health/weight loss, please share!Myself - 31 years old
Devoted Husband - 34 years old

Hmm, the way you describe the bumps in the genital area, screams to me genital herpes.. but you did say you've never had sex.
have you ever gone to the dr to have them looked at? I know it's kind of awkward and what not.. but it's something that should be checked out, espeically if you've been getting lot more frequent and more in quantity.. Not really something to brush off.Me 28 & Hubby 29

You described multiple pimples. Do you mean 1 or 2 or a lot? I have had a Bartholin's gland cyst in that area before, but it was a single sore near the opening to the vagina. I think there is another form of sebaceous gland cysts that can develop on the vulvar area. I would try to get an immediate appointment the next time that you have a breakout so that the doctor can examine them and take a biopsy if necessary to confirm and suggest treatment.
I would also avoid waxing if you currently do wax, because my issues always seem to follow a wax (not immediately, but a couple of months later).
I've had a biopsy done and it came out clear. I was told by one woman that it was basically acne but on the vulvar region and another doctor said clogged sweat glands so i'm not sure. I know for a fact it's not genital herpes, doctors didn't seem concerned about that and i've seen a few of them about it. I've read somewhere that using anti bacterial soap on the region can help but I worry about using anything scented because my skin is so sensitive.
But i think going when i have a breakout is a good suggestion, it seems to have calmed down for now!
I would get similar spots on my scalp during periods of high stress, and I could not get rid of them for a long time, even using medicated shampoo. I have basically no problems with this since I have switched to a specific shampoo/conditioner regimen that was recommended by my hair stylist. The regimen is just PureOlogy Hydrate Shampoo and Conditioner, once a day, every day. It is expensive stuff, but it goes a long way. You can buy sample sized bottles at Mitchell's last time I checked. My stylist recommended this to me because I have strange skin allergies, and it has worked like a charm. Since it sounds like you have similar allergies, I thought I would recommend it. Good luck!

Fast forward to a year later when I got another bikini wax - and 2 months after the wax, same problem again. Painful bump which turned into a sore. Biopsy for herpes and other stds again and it all came back negative. OB/GYN says that it must be a clogged hair follicle.
Based on my own research of the location and my symptoms, I believe that it is a Bartholin's gland cyst that became infected and broke open (thus the sore like appearance). For me, I think the waxing causes the problem and then it eventually gets infected. Both times have been in the same place. And I did pick at it both times, which made it worse. I think once you have such a cyst, you are prone to get it again.

I have had the Bartholin's gland cysts before, and they are NOT pleasant. I usually get 1-2 a year, and usually in the summer when it's the hottest. Most of the time they present like acne, and most of the time they are supposed to drain on their own. Mine usually don't. I've had them almost abcess and had to go to the doctor/ER to have them drained. What's scary is how fast they can swell..so bad you can't stand and have to lay down w/ice packs just to get the swelling down enough for the 1-hour trip to the ER. My Dr. said that baths are good for them and I've noticed that if I put vaginal cream on them as soon as I notice them that I can cause them to dry out or shrink...whatever...I just get them to go away. My Dr. said that once you get them once, they will always come back. I have noticed that as I've lost weight-just 15lbs-I've not noticed it acting up (knock on wood). Also wearing cotton panties helps cut down on the irritation that starts them. My Dr. also told me that the next time it acts up that there's a procedure that they can do to eliminate them alltogether. (The thought makes me smile!) It involves, as I understand it, creating a new drainage area for the gland. All I know is that when they abcess, it is the worst pain in the world, but the ER people don't quite get it since you're not bleeding. When they see the problem, however, they do say "oh my goodness, you poor dear. We need to get this fixed" But I've had them b4 I was married and was a virgin w/absolutely no chance of having an STD. Good luck talking w/your Dr.
In order to totally get rid of the bartholin's cysts you have a procedure called a marsupialization. I have had this done two times. It is day surgery. The first time I had this done they used general anesthetic and the surgery took about an hour. The second time I had it done I had just given birth and my ob/gym took care of it while I was on the delivery table. Basically a pouch is made so the gland can drain and cannot abcess again. I never had one rupture and drain to the outside. Both of mine just formed large (golf ball) size knots inside my vagina that hurt like all get out. Scared me to death the first time it happened. I was 6 weeks away from getting married. Once drained and marsupialized I have not had the same cysts cause me any problems. They may have a different treatment today because I had my first procedure done 21 years ago. Not sure.
I also use to get cysts in my bend of my legs. I thought it was due to infected hair follicles. Then I get on soul cysters and find out it is due to the pcos. I then came to the realization that the cysts stopped after I got on metformin. It is amazing that all of these issues that I have been dealing with for so many years are pcos related! I have had psoriasis on my elbows, cysts in my vaginal area, and a rash on my back all of which have pretty much disappeared since getting on metformin. I still cannot lose weight, have some facial hair, excessive public hair, and a few other problems that have not been resolved by using metformin. I just aged thinking that was the way I was put together and had no idea that it was all related to pcos until the last couple of years.
Thanks to the ladies who suggested hidradenitis suppurativa. Upon looking this up on the forums, it sounds like a lot of ladies have had symptoms similar to mine, what a relief to know i'm not alone! Things haven't been getting better so i'm going to try and see someone at student health and suggest this to them. (hopefully they'll listen)

Green IT Enables a Thriving Technology Center
By Chelo Picardal
Meeting the demands of a growing and thriving technology center requires a strong, efficient and agile IT foundation. Once a small suburb of Seattle, Bellevue is now the fifth largest city in Washington state, with a population of more than 122,000, and it has been called one of the most livable cities in America. Incorporated in 1953, Bellevue is a high-tech hub that delivers content-rich services to its citizens—from online access to permitting processes to video capture for community events to an online traffic-flow map—driving the need for a robust technology infrastructure.
As CTO for the city of Bellevue, my technical responsibilities encompass network and server infrastructure, technology strategies, enterprise architecture, technology standards and security. My ultimate goal is to use technology to solve tough problems, make operations more efficient, and help the people of Bellevue connect, engage and explore.
My team and I took a deliberate approach to strengthening our IT infrastructure and investing in technology that could transport the city into the future. The first step for my team, which consists of 10 full-time IT systems and network administrators, was to assess the challenges we faced.
The Challenge
As state and local governments continue to face tight budgets and demands for more or improved services, managing growing data volumes and meeting aggressive service-level agreements becomes a daunting challenge. We don't have the budget to continually purchase new storage capacity and hire the IT staff to manage the growing infrastructure. On the other hand, simply counting on existing resources to meet growing needs was not a sustainable solution.
For the city, the transformation to a thriving high-tech hub required an optimized IT infrastructure to support online city services, an extensive application portfolio to manage city operations and 35 percent annual data growth—all while lowering costs to meet budget reduction targets and staying committed to green IT. To meet these goals, we embarked on a multiyear data center and operations upgrade that reduced environmental impact as part of the city's Environmental Stewardship Initiative (ESI).
Bellevue's ESI effort focuses on developing a community whose decisions and actions explicitly integrate and balance economic, ecological and social impacts with the stated goals of working toward sustainable operational practices; engaging employees, residents and businesses in sustainable practices; and building on the city's reputation as an environmental innovator and leader.
To effectively support the city's growth, we needed to replace a seven-year-old storage infrastructure that was maxed out on processor capacity and rethink our expanding server farm. Not only did the existing system make it difficult to expand storage and attach new systems, but performance requirements could not be met, causing the city to have less than a year of storage capacity left.
We outlined a storage consolidation and server virtualization strategy that required deduplication and other storage efficiency technologies, plus replication technology to meet the stringent recovery point objectives (RPO) of critical systems for our disaster recovery needs.
The Solution
My team worked with Integrated Archive Systems (IAS) on streamlining our storage infrastructure to improve performance, simplify management, increase efficiencies and enable easy scalability. For the green data center operations, we consolidated direct-attached storage, network-attached storage and storage area network on a NetApp unified storage architecture. We leveraged VMware to virtualize and consolidate 70 percent of our approximately 200 servers, and we plan to hit our 80 percent virtualization goal this year.
Consolidating storage with virtualization enables IT to quickly deliver customer services with faster and easier provisioning. The consolidated infrastructure has set us up nicely for appropriate disaster recovery plans, private cloud for secure multitenancy and isolation, and virtual desktops.
It is also very easy for our administrators to use and quickly respond to storage needs. Above all, we now have a flexible, expandable and manageable system that enables the point-in-time recovery that our customers need, along with the ability to deliver services via a private cloud that lets us segment services without spawning new infrastructure.
Additionally, as a result of our storage consolidation and virtualization strategy, we have unified our previously disparate storage silos into a shared, centrally managed resource for long-term planning, trending and capacity management. We gained outstanding performance, scalability and efficiency, resulting in better services to our customers—the city departments that serve our growing population.
Our new unified storage achieved 30 to 40 percent storage space savings with NetApp deduplication out of the box, allowing us to avoid buying more storage for the past couple of years—a big help for our constrained budget. Another key benefit is that our IT department has reduced recovery point objectives (RPOs) from 24 hours to one or two hours for critical applications, while reducing administration time by 30 percent. This enabled our IT staff to focus on other job responsibilities.
All the benefits our IT department has gained ultimately connect back to the city's continued commitment to environmental stewardship and reducing our carbon footprint. We were able to minimize the environmental impact of the city's IT operations by decreasing material use and energy consumption that helps support our Energy Star building certification for City Hall.
As part of this commitment, Bellevue IT and its facilities organization installed outside air cooling for our data centers, set higher data center temperatures and installed more-accurate power meters to better measure and assess trends in our energy consumption. We improved our power-usage effectiveness (PUE) from 1.6 in 2007 to 1.5 in 2011. We also facilitated teleworking by enabling remote access to our applications and data, instituted double-sided printing as the default (delivering a 17 percent reduction in paper use) and extended equipment life cycles: PC life was extended from three years to four, and server life was extended from four years to five.
The partnerships with our core vendors—Citrix, Microsoft, NetApp and VMware—were instrumental in achieving our solutions. The vendors responded to our business needs and provided sophisticated products to achieve cohesive, seamless solutions. They also brought ideas from their other customers that would work in our environment and helped us keep up with industry best practices.
These projects have had an impact on the employees and citizens of the city of Bellevue. We will continue to build on our environmental achievements with more projects for submitting plans online, mobile apps for field staff, environmental portals for businesses and citizens, and unified communications for all staff members. With these projects, we hope to increase productivity, while reducing paper use, vehicle miles traveled and greenhouse gas emissions.
As a growing, thriving metropolis with limited resources, the city of Bellevue constantly strives to do more with less and make the most of our IT investments. By using our normal replacement cycle to overhaul our IT infrastructure, we are better positioned to meet expanding business demands amid the challenge of budget reductions.
And, by implementing an efficient IT infrastructure, Bellevue has become more resource-efficient and is saving money without compromising customer service, security or resiliency.
Chelo Picardal is the CTO for the city of Bellevue, Wash.

Geneva 2010: Rinspeed UC? asks a lot of questions
by Jeremy Korzeniewski (RSS feed) on Mar 4th, 2010 at 9:01AM
Despite what your eyes may be telling you, the car you see above is not a Pygmy Fiat 500. It is, in fact, the questionably named Rinspeed UC? (pun intended – get it, questionably named... ha!), which the company says is short for both Urban Commuter and the phrase, "You See?". In person, the latest concept from the quirky design house appears much more green and iridescent than it does in the press photos, as you can see from our live image gallery below. Buried underneath that flashy clothing you'll find a lithium ion battery pack from LiTec that sends power to an electric motor... Read More
