Be Our Guest Question
We do not have reservations but plan to try the lunch on our next trip, but I am a huge Beauty and the Beast fan and want to see the inside of the castle. Will they let you in to check it out and look around? We made reservations for our spring trip for dinner, and can wait if need be, but if we do lunch, will they let you check it out or is it just cornered off in areas at certain times?
We ate there this pass Monday, all three rooms were open.
All 3 were open this week
All three rooms were open when we ate there on Tuesday.
All three were open last Sunday but you had to be eating there or they wouldn't let you in so just be aware that you have to buy something to go in and look around.
The best time to look around might be after you're done eating. When you go in, everyone is in line and you're directed straight to the kiosks for ordering. Once you get your rose, find a table, and get your drinks, it doesn't take long for the food to arrive.
After you eat, you can walk around as much as you want. When we were there last weekend for lunch, there seemed to be a lot of people just walking around and looking at everything. It's a beautiful restaurant!

MUMBAI: Last year's runners-up Maharashtra eased into the women's final of the 8th Savio Cup basketball tournament with a 10-point win over Chhattisgarh, at the Don Bosco school courts, Matunga. The state eves made the title round with an all-win record, their scalps including Southern Railway, who they will face in Sunday's final. The 76-66 victory on Saturday saw the likes of Renu Maurya (18) and Manisha Dange (16) play key roles and breach the weak defence of the opposition.
Swamped in the first quarter by the fast-paced game of ONGC, the US side rallied to dominate the next two sessions, but flagged again in the last quarter to lose narrowly. Riding on captain Vishesh Brighuvanshi's brilliant show, who not only withstood the physical play of the Americans but also held their own in the skills department, ONGC did much credit to their favourite tag. Briguvanshi emerged as the top-scorer with 27 points. Amritpal was a close second with 19 points. For the guests, Terrance Thomas was the highest scorer with 23 points to boot.
In a late match, ONGC, after their big win over Sportspower, kept their all-win record intact as they ousted Tamil Nadu with a 78-63. ONGC will again take on Sportspower from the US, in Sunday's final.
Result Men: ONGC 78 (Amritpal Singh 22) bt TN 63 (Amjyot Singh 20) Women: Maharashtra 76 (Renu Maurya 18, Manisha Dange 16) bt Chhattisgarh 66 (M Pushpa 24, Poona Chaturvedi 14).
Shinde storms into semis: Rohit Shinde stormed into the semi-finals of the 69kg welterweight category with a knockout win over Mastan (single name) in the Mumbai University's Inter-Collegiate boxing tournament being organized by Rizvi College at their Carter Road premises on Saturday.
The University of Mumbai boxer was quick off the blocks and before his opponent from St. Gonsalo Garcia College could even realize what had happened he found himself on the mat with his trainer throwing in the towel.
Vaishnavi clinches title: Top Sri Vaishnavi Peddi Reddy of India defeated her compatriot and unseeded Pranjala Yadlapalli to claim the girl's singles crown in the CCI-ITF Junior Boys' & Girls' under-18 Tennis Championship.
The 17-year-old Vaishnavi from Hyderabad encountered quite a strong challenge from her city mate, who is four years younger, before pulling off a 3-6, 6-2, 6-4 victory.

Inflammation of the pancreas.
Origin: From from Ancient Greek πάγκρεας (pankreas) and -ίτις suffix denoting diseases characterized by inflammation
Pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas. It has several causes and symptoms and requires immediate medical attention. It occurs when pancreatic enzymes that digest food are activated in the pancreas instead of the small intestine. It may be acute—beginning suddenly and lasting a few days, or chronic—occurring over many years.

New Mexico Housing Program Receives Economic Boost from UnitedHealthcare
February 7, 2012
Living a healthy life starts with access to affordable housing. That's why UnitedHealthcare recently partnered with Enterprise Community Investment, a national leader in affordable housing, to provide $22 million to finance three affordable-housing projects in New Mexico. The projects, which were announced in collaboration with New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez, will improve affordable housing options in Santa Fe, Deming and Las Cruces. Special-needs households and families earning between 30 percent to 50 percent of the area median income will be served by these projects.
The investment is part of the broader UnitedHealthcare Group Affordable Housing Investment Program, which brings together one of the nation's top health and well-being companies with one of the nation's leading advocates for affordable housing to create housing opportunities for low- and moderate-income people. Through the partnership, the program will provide critical equity for the development of affordable rental housing projects to which housing tax credits have been allocated. UnitedHealth Group has committed up to $50 million to finance affordable-housing projects in targeted communities throughout the United States.
The announcement generated a slew of media coverage, including in the New Mexico Business Weekly.

Wallace Falls. You will be turning left off of the highway.
Trail Information: Two choices: old railroad grade or hiking trail. Railroad grade is moderately flat. The trail is wide and well maintained. The hiking trail is steeper with more pedestrian traffic. Can be sloppy and muddy which can add to the fun!

Although not all upstream facilities have been historically obligated to meet the requirements of the federal OSHA PSM standard (29 CFR 1910.119), utilizing this existing set of technical, documentation, and procedural practices can be expected to achieve the same results as in the downstream, chemical, and petrochemical industries. Namely, to ensure the safe operation of a facility, various hazards associated with the facility process and the plant equipment need to be addressed in a systematic manner.
As a result of the Deepwater Horizon incident on April 20, 2010, the Department of the Interior adopted the Safety and Environmental Management Systems (SEMS) regulation (30 CFR 250). This regulatory program, which imposes a process safety management-like program on oil and gas facilities operating on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS), replaces a voluntary program that had existed since 1993.
Those working in the oil and gas industry are reminded with depressing regularity of the importance of process safety management, as post-incident investigation invariably points to one or more deficiencies related to process safety as root causes. This paper challenges the predominant notion that upstream facilities can be safely operated without following methods similar to those dictated by OSHA based on technical comparisons of pressure relief system design findings for upstream and downstream facilities. An adequate pressure relief system plays an important role in safe facility operation both through avoidance of catastrophic events and through prevention of incident escalation.
Similarities in relief system design issues for 60 process units of representative upstream and downstream production facilities are presented in a comparative case study. Alignments and points of divergence in typical practice between the example facilities are discussed. Significant similarity in the nature and types of the pressure relief systems deficiencies between upstream and downstream facilities is concluded.
The information presented helps upstream asset owners better understand standard practice for OSHA regulated facilities, align the corporate approach to safety, especially for vertically integrated owners, and demonstrate benefits achieved through proper design and documentation.

Trust and Estate Planning, Wyoming Uniform Trust Code Changes, IRA Beneficiary Designation, and Portability
This presentation will be crucial for Wyoming attorneys who do trust and estate work. Three important topics will be addressed.The first topic will be an update of important changes to Wyoming's Uniform Trust Code in the 2013 legislative session. The changes include a provision for tenancy by entireties in trust, a new asset protection trust, a new provision for lifetime contests of revocable trusts, and the addition of a trustee power to decant property from a trust. The second topic will cover designating a trust as an IRA or employer retirement plan beneficiary. This topic will cover IRS trust beneficiary designation requirements; the pros and cons of designating a marital trust, credit shelter, or children's trust as a beneficiary; and the common pitfalls for using a trust as an IRA or retirement plan beneficiary. The final topic will cover portability of a deceased spouse's estate and gift tax exclusion amount. Portability was first introduced in the 2010 Tax Relief Act and made permanent in the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012. Portability has changed how attorneys approach estate planning for married couples and has created a whole new area of potential attorney malpractice. The portability presentation will cover recommendations on when to use portability and when not to use it. It will also cover the requirements for carrying forward a deceased spouse's unused exclusion amount and how a deceased spouse's unused exclusion amount may be used by the surviving spouse for lifetime gifts and transfers at the second death. The portability presentation will also address how a portability election or a failure to make a portability election could have important income tax consequences at the second death.

Fox8 (corporately stylised as FOX8, alternatively as Fox 8 or FOX 8) is an Australian cable and satellite channel available on Foxtel, Austar[2] and Optus Television's subscription platforms. It is the most watched subscription television channel in Australia (with or without the timeshift)[3] and broadcasts the highest rating non-sporting related program or event on subscription television in Australia, Australia's Next Top Model.[4] A high definition version of the channel, Fox8HD, was launched on the Foxtel and Austar platforms on 15 November 2009.
The channel runs many programs produced by Fox and in fact was originally called "Fox" before adding the "8" to the title. The channel was found on channel 8 on Foxtel analogue and Austar standard and channel 108 on Foxtel Digital and Austar Digital. Fox8 is Foxtel's most popular subscription channel and peak channel. It is also News Corporation's peak Australian channel (similar to Sky1 in the UK and FX in the USA). FOX8 is one of the very few channels to have been continuously broadcast since Foxtel's foundation in 1995. During the late 1990s, Fox8 used to show Saturday Night NRL matches.
FOX8+2 was introduced with the Foxtel and Austar Digital Services on Channel 150. This allows the viewing of the same programs on Fox8, but two hours later. One of the known advantages of this TimeShift Channel, is that Western Australian viewers can see this channel at the correct time in their state as advertised. FOX8 and Foxtel have a deal with Network Ten to receive their shows bought from the USA Fox network.[citation needed] Some shows like this include The Simpsons, Futurama, and The Simple Life. During the migration to the digital platform, Foxtel's Fox Kids (similar to the US version) channel was discontinued in 2004 and a selection of its programming was moved to FOX8 in the early mornings.
The channel was rebranded significantly at the start of 2006, matching the American Fox channel's logo with the addition of the 8 at the end. FOX8's overall graphics also changed in style. Shortly after the rebranding, the station received its first official website.[5] The website was relaunched in October 2006 as a fuller visual experience showing extracts from the top shows.
During the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the channel screened a 17 day, multiple animated show marathon named "Battle of the Animations" involving Family Guy, American Dad, The Simpsons, Futurama and King of the Hill. The event concluded on Sunday 24 August with a smaller marathon involving the winning show, as chosen by the viewing audience over the course of the 17 days. The winning show was Family Guy.
On 1 November 2008, as part of the launch of a new channel named 111 HITS, many shows from Fox8 and other channels moved to 111 Hits. 111 Hits is a hit shows channel including programs from the 80s, 90s, 2000s, and today.
On 15 November 2009, FOX8 HD launched on Austar and Foxtel.
On 16 March 2010, FOX8 launched a brand new website.
In May 2011, FOX8 underwent a major rebrand, incorporating a new look, with a new style of branding programs.
In October 2011, FOX8 was launched a Program Return Graphic during a Show.
In February 2013, Foxtel announced a deal with The Walt Disney Company which included an exclusive output deal with ABC Family. ABC Family produces some of FOX8's hit programs such as Bunheads, Switched at Birth and The Secret Life of the American Teenager, as well as The Fosters and Twisted which are to premiere later in 2013.[6]
In October 2013, FOX8 launched a new on-air look that included the new slogan TV for the Now Gen (replacing So Fox8).[7]

Knoxville (WVLT) - This story is for the men out there who haven't finished their Christmas shopping. Or let's be honest, even started!
WVLT Volunteer TV's Liz Tedone has some great gift ideas for the special someone in your life.
We're looking at what to get when you don't know what to get for your wife, girlfriend, mom, sister, daughter. These gifts are universal, and we guarantee you can' t go wrong.
You can tell by their wandering walk that they have no idea.
"Too many indecisions as to what to get," Christmas shopper Jim Morrow said.
You for Christmas. With five days left to look for loot, what's a man to buy for that special woman in his life?
For starters,
"Every woman I've spoken to this season has mentioned pajamas. They just love to go home, get in a comfy pair or a sexy pair and relax," style consultant Sherri Ailor said.
And a bathrobe counts too. It's not fuddy duddy and women really do like them.
A day of beauty, not that she needs it, can always be a safe bet too.
"Send me to the spa. Anything spa related. It's the gift of touch for one they get thrilled when they open it up. They remember the gift when they go and trade it in for the services that they choose," Ailor said.
If you're brave enough to shop the racks, women are always touched by the thought that goes into the gift.
"In the last minute things, a lot of time I can buy clothes for her. Because they can always take them back if they don't work out," Morrow said. "Most of the time, but she, I always make sure she can take them back."
Practical thinking. But don't even think about
"Chocolate. A lot of women do love chocolate, but it's such an easy thoughtless gift. You don't give it any thought, and they're going to know," Ailor said.
And of course we girls love jewelry, but nothing too trendy. You can't go wrong with a classic piece, and the sales associate behind the counter will be able to help you.

Varvatos works anywhere, anytime. I've been using it as long as it's been available. Vintage Varvatos doesn't work as well - go with his original, namesake version. Vintage has a more synthetic head to it. John Varvatos is as magnificent as the bottle it comes in. It's a jet black, orient/leather/licorice inspired, totally understated fragrance that makes you feel more comfortable in your skin, all the livelong day. Wear it with a Brioni suit in the boardroom, an Armani tux on the red carpet, or Ralph Lauren casual ware, anytime. You'll be walking tall and swinging low, guaranteed.

Very nice, but not long lasting
Nice fragrance when you first put it on, but disappointing because it doesn't last.

Vega IB339 Holster
Daniel Craig as James Bond wears suede Vega gun holsters in Casino Royale (2006) and SkyFall (2012).
In Casino Royale he wears a Vega IB339 holster on his belt, during the Madagaskar chase scene. The holster contains his Walther P99.
In the movie SkyFall, Bond again wears a Vega holster, this time the IB333, which fits his Walther PPK. The holster was spotted by Bond fan sruzgar in the sequence when Bond jumps on the tube train in the London Underground.
This suede cognac holster is attached to the belt and located on the inside of the belt.
Material/color: Suede cognac.
Holy hell, can anyone find one of these??? I've looked all over! I know they're cheap but they're so amazingly rare! I have the Bond phone, gun, watch, almost everything except this. Someone please post a link to where I can find these (in English, I don't speak Croatian).
I contacted Vega and they sent me the following info to purchase the IB3 here in USA.
Gateway Sales
2166 Seven Pines Dr. St .Louis, MO 63146.
Mr. Jerry Kent
I hope this is helpful in some way.
I gotta say: I think Daniel Craig used this holster a total of ONCE in the film, in the Madagascar chase seen. I also have to add that I hate holsters like this, as they're very prone to loosing your gun. Get something a little nicer with a thumbstrap if you really want a holster that works.
Needless correction: He wears this holster atleast two noticable times in the movie...Madagascar and the Bahamas. You can see it in the scene where he's walking with M, just before he get's that chip inplanted in his arm. Anyway, I now have this holster for my P99 and have had no problems with losing my precious pistol.
I also forgot to mention that this is the hands-down best inside-the-pants holster I have ever come across. Much better materials and craftsmanship on this particular model than Galco's or Uncle Mike's.
Thanks for discovering this holster and posting it. I have to say it is excellent quality and fits the Walther PPK very well. This is an excellent quality holster for the money. Hard to find, but a website called yourgunparts.com has them. I use it for a small of the back holster. Thanks again.957d97
Vega holsters are available for purchase form Python Holsters Co.St. Louis, MO..
For all ya'll still looking for it:
Thought, I'm opposed to holsters without any type of retention, once sent my Sig into the other toilet stall due to a lack of retention. But, we we all know what's best for ourselves.
This is a very good open or dress for concealment carry option. Many people have an issue with retention, though I've never had a problem with mine. In fact I've run tactical drills with it. For those considering this type of holster I'd suggest getting a good quality belt to compliment it.
Totally still have them, my GF's getting one for her PPk clone
pythonholsters.com has these and they also have fast shipping and wonderful customer service.

Rockford Mayor Larry Morrissey told a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee this week the sequester is having a negative effect on the economy in northern Illinois. Earlier this year, aerial demonstrations were halted nationwide. That caused the cancellation of the city's popular AirFest. Automatic budget cuts next year could have an impact on defense-related purchases. Morrissey fears what that could mean for the region's aerospace industry:
Rockford AirFest is cancelled, and organizers are blaming the federal government.
The federal judicial system in northern Illinois could be another victim of a drawn-out sequester. Court officials and prosecutors say they will feel the pinch.
The deadline is looming for automatic spending cuts at the federal level. While lawmakers wrangle over ways to avoid the so-called sequester, those who rely on federal funding are wondering how they would be affected. That includes companies, agencies and many others in northern Illinois.
Members of Congress are back home instead of trying to work out a plan to avoid massive across-the-board cuts scheduled to take effect March 1st. Many are using the opportunity to show how sequestration will hurt the people who live and work in their districts.

Copyright© 1997, 1999 by Clark D. Pickett. All Rights Reserved.
One of the first things you, as a newly adoptive parent, will need to do for your adopted child is to apply for a Social Security Number (SSN). The SSN is used for many purposes, such as identification, wage reporting, and on income tax returns.
You must obtain an SSN for your child before you file any Federal Income Tax Return on which you list the child as a dependent. The following information was taken directly from the 1998 Form 1040 and 1040A Instructions for Line 6c Column (2), and from Publication 17, Your Federal Income Tax.
You must list the social security number (SSN) of any person for whom you claim an exemption in column (2) of line 6c of your Form 1040 or Form 1040A.
If you do not list the dependent's SSN when required or if you list an incorrect SSN, at the time we process your return, we may disallow the exemption claimed for the dependent and reduce or disallow any other tax benefits (such as the child tax credit and the earned income credit) based on the depe ndent.
If a person for whom you expect to claim an exemption on your return does not have an SSN, either you or that person should apply for an SSN as soon as possible by filing Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card, with the Social Security Administration (SSA). Information about applying for an SSN and Form SS-5 is available at your local SSA office.
It usually takes about 2 weeks to get an SSN. If you do not have a required SSN by the filing due date, you can file Form 4868 for an extension of time to file.
To access the complete instructions contained in Publication 17 in the section entitled Social Security Numbers for Dependents, click here.
The process is relatively quick and painless. You must complete an Application for a Social Security Card (Form SS-5) and submit it to the Social Security Administration (SSA). You can obtain the form in several ways:
As the instructions at that site state, you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to read and print the form. If you do not have this program, there are instructions at that site on how to obtain it.
The form is also available at some Post Offices and other Federal Buildings.
You will complete the form on behalf of your child and sign it as parent.
You must submit the form, either in person or by mail, to any SSA field office. You can determine the location of these offices by looking in the blue pages of your phone book under United States Government, Social Security Administration. When you submit the form, you mus t also submit proof of age, citizenship, and identity for your child. The types of acceptable documents in each category are detailed on the form. For practical purposes, these are:
If you have not yet received the "green" card, the INS registration number was entered by INS on your child's foreign passport at the time you entered the U.S. This will suffice as proof of legal entry for permanent residence.
If you are signing on behalf of your child, you must also submit proof of identity for yourself, such as your driver's licence.
You must submit the originals of these documents or certified copies obtained from the custodian. Uncertified photo copies are not acceptable. For this reason, it is advisable to complete the application process in person. The SSA representative you talk to will look at your documents, make any necessary photocopies, and return the originals to you.
You should be aware that SSA may require an independent translation of any documents you submit that are in a foreign language. This translation will be performed by an SSA employee, and it may require sending the photocopies of the documents to another SSA office, where the SSA-certified translator works. This requirement is independent of the acceptability of the documents and any translations you already have by any o ther agency, such as INS.
You should also be aware that SSA is required to spell your child's name on the SSN records however it is spelled on the proof of identity that you submit. If the only English language proof that you have to submit is the child's foreign passport, and if the name is spelled differently on the passport than you prefer to spell it, the SSN may initially be issued under the incorrect spelling. You can correct this later, once you have proof of identity showing the preferred spelling. The alternative to this is to wait until you have the child's "green" card before you complete the SSN application, assuming the name is spelled as you prefer on INS records.
If you have not obtained the form prior to visiting the SSA field office, the SSA representative will tell you whether they want you to complete the paper form first, or whether they will take the information from you orally and input it directly to SSA's enumeration system. The actual interview normally takes about 10 to 15 minutes per application.
Once SSA has received and processed the application, you will receive your child's SSN in the mail. This takes about 2 to 3 weeks.
In the future, you will need to recontact SSA when your child becomes a U.S. citizen. Your child's record will initially be coded as "lawfully admitted for permanent residence". Once your child becomes a U.S. citizen, the coding should be changed. You or your child will need to follow the process explained above to update SSA's records. When you complete this application, you will need to submit the child's Certificate of Citizenship, and proof of identity for yourself.
Clark Pickett has worked for the Social Security Administration for over 25 years. He is presently located at SSA Headquarters in Baltimore, Maryland, where he does statistical analysis for the Supplemental Security Income program. He has no access to SSA's enumeration system and cannot assist anyone with the enumeration process.
Clark is the adoptive father of siblings Sergei (04/28/86) and Nadia (10/14/92), adopted 09/24/96 in St. Petersburg, Russia. He is co-adminstrator of the EEAC website and mailing lists.

Last month, I spent a day selling for the first time at another market in Takoma Park, Md. -- the Crossroads Farmers Market, open on Wednesdays. Though Crossroads is just two miles from the Sunday market, the customers couldn't be more different. Crossroads is in the poorest of Takoma Park's four neighborhoods and also serves Langley Park and other low-income areas nearby.
Here, people speak mostly Spanish. Customers can find kabocha squash, chipilin and other staples of Central American kitchens, as well as pupusas, tostadas and other prepared foods. I saw fewer white faces at Crossroads. I heard fewer questions about whether produce was sprayed with chemicals and many more about how much everything cost. At Crossroads, shoppers measure every dollar against an unforgiving budget. Many go home with potatoes or onions, but not both.
The Sunday market was established in 1982, when farmers markets were more novel. No one knew whether customers would show up. Now that Takoma Park has two markets -- one with a relatively affluent clientele, the other whose customers are struggling -- it's time to think about how the market with deeper pockets can better serve all the area's residents.
Crossroads was established in 2007 to respond to the uncomfortable reality that the wildly successful Sunday market served mostly the well-to-do.
But it is the additional financial resources that make the real difference at Crossroads. Customers can use food stamps and vouchers specifically created to attract participants in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) and the elderly.
The Sunday market is a good place to begin thinking about how to better reach those in need. After all, some of its members founded Crossroads, and in 2007 it joined Crossroads as one of the first markets in the D.C. area to accept food stamps. Many Sunday vendors accept WIC and other benefits, but the market isn't easily accessible for people without cars, and its prices are relatively high.
For the moment, philanthropy has to be part of the solution. Since 2008, the national nonprofit Wholesome Wave has introduced programs like those at Crossroads to double the value of government food vouchers in more than 300 "farm to retail" sites in 28 states and the District of Columbia.
This approach is promising but also precarious. It depends on Congress to maintain and expand nutrition and food assistance, and to encourage healthy food choices through farmers market vouchers.
The local-food movement is in its infancy. It will continue to expand as more people give priority to knowing where and how their food is grown, and as the hidden costs of industrial agriculture become more evident. The Crossroads Farmers Market shows that the advantages of buying local food can be shared widely. We can work toward the day when Wednesday's shoppers can afford Sunday's prices, too.

I'm at my parents' house for passover this week. We used to celebrate passover at my grandparents' house, but, while they are still with us and doing great, thank you very much, the seder is so much work that we did eventually move the holiday to my parents' to save them some of the stress and strain. Things change, you know? For dozens of years things are one way, suddenly they are another way. So it goes. Passover, like Thanksgiving, or New Year's, or your birthday, serves as a useful, or potentially painful marker of the passage of time. As with any of these annual traditions, you are reminded, whether you like it or not, of how things this year have progressed from the year before (or, again for better or for worse, how they have stayed the same). For a brief blip in the on-going rush of one's day-to-day life time seems to freeze, just for a moment, and you can see it stretching out behind and ahead of you. It's not hard to go from reflecting on the past to projecting for the future. It flows! There's nothing to be done about it, and what would you even do if you could do something? You've seen Clockstoppers. You know the dangers inherent in messing with this stuff. Just go with the flow, man. Anyway, this year we get a new Jaden Smith music video. Neat? In the grand scheme of things, our entire collection of human experiences will be condensed to a grain of sand on an endless beach.
This is already ancient history. The hands of time are placed firmly on your back, shoving you ever forward. MOVE! MOVE! MOVE! JADEN, MOVE!

Will Smith! Still got it!
I miss him being in things. He needs to stop funding his children's shenanigans and start doing stuff again, she said, like an old person.
He turned down Django Unchained because he wouldn't have been the lead. I thought that was awful, and then I realized that he has never been in a movie where he WASN'T the lead. Dude needs to chill!
If those articles are to be believed, he just straight up says, "I need to be the lead!" which is crazy, but also, you're totally right! When he has ever been in a movie where he's not the lead? It's ridiculously pompous, and yet, he's somehow still very likable?! WTF is your secret, Will Smith?
BTW, can anyone tell me what's going on with the accents in this trailer for After Earth? Like, they're doing weird mid-Atlantic accents, right? Or am I crazy?
He was also preeeetty unequivocal about how awesome of a president he would be. I think that definitely also counts as "expecting to be the lead"…
There is a franchise that never goes out.

Light has been cast on the interaction between broccoli consumption and reduced prostate cancer risk. Researchers writing in BioMed Central's open access journal Molecular Cancer have found that sulforaphane, a chemical found in broccoli, interacts with cells lacking a gene called PTEN to reduce the chances of prostate cancer developing.
Richard Mithen, from the Institute of Food Research, an institute of BBSRC, worked with a team of researchers on Norwich Research Park, UK, to carry out a series of experiments in human prostate tissue and mouse models of prostate cancer to investigate the interactions between expression of the PTEN gene and the anti-cancer activity of sulforaphane. He said, "PTEN is a tumour suppressor gene, the deletion or inactivation of which can initiate prostate carcinogenesis, and enhance the probability of cancer progression. We've shown here that sulforaphane has different effects depending on whether the PTEN gene is present".
The research team found that in cells which express PTEN, dietary intervention with SF has no effect on the development of cancer. In cells that don't express the gene, however, sulforaphane causes them to become less competitive, providing an explanation of how consuming broccoli can reduce the risk of prostate cancer incidence and progression. According to Mithen, "This also suggests potential therapeutic applications of sulforaphane and related compounds".

For the time being, you may be seeing some weird illusions in the design… and you will notice that some links at the top are not working. It's all in the works, I'm just happy I have time to work on it!

A trip to New Orleans
The excitement that is the Kentucky Derby is so close, yet so far away. So to feed my Derby craving, I took a trip down to New Orleans for the Louisiana Derby at Fairgrounds! A long weekend was not long enough in the Big Easy with so many attractions, incredible eateries, and the people watching – forget about it!

I worked at HARMAN
The company offers good hourly wages; good benefits package; and a clean work environment. The site has a decent cafeteria.
Unfortunately they believe in ten hours a day and seven days a week. I lasted almost six months and then realized I wanted to be a person not just a worker.
A products quality will always go down when the people working are not given sufficient time off. Less mandatory overtime!

"After many years of solid growth, new management is trading brand equity for low cost expansion worldwide. "

I worked at HARMANPros
Still has some of the best engineers in the world of audio at the helm and when given the opportunity can deliver stunning expereinces in the home, car, and portable audio marketplace. A company that was driven by a passion for music and the emotional impact that it has on life, was able to overcome many of the roadblocks and deliver for the consumer.Cons
The was a time where this company was looked upon as the leader in the space. Today that has become more of a talking point than a reality as it continues to stuggle to deliver cutting edge consumer products, enter into ultra low cost commercial products, and finding ways to capitalize on auto companies outside of the normal big players. Many of those that built this company are now gone and leadership is focused on markets other than the US. At a time when they could become a top tier supplier at home and regain the respect of consumer and clients, they have ignored the opportunity in the US. With a CEO that ranks as some of the highest paid (a complete 180 from the past) he has failed to leverage stock price back to solid levels, continues to play the role of rockstar CEO while misleading the media sloth, and continues to slash costs leaving departments so thin that the errors of their efforts become magnified in light of what was once a great company.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Get it right, stop with the marketing BS and look at the image you are delivering to the marketplace. Reduce the number of errors, defective products, and improve speed to market without the need for software updates, reworks, or delay. Connect the dots and finally deliver solutions that wow the consumer and combine audio, communication, and real innovation. wake up form the dream state you are in, align products with real use cases, real consumer systems, and get back to your roots.Disapproves of CEO

"A company now run by bean counters who forgot Harman's core competency: great sound! "

Harman has a wonderful history, some great brands, and has developed some great audio products in the past. The opportunity to produce great sounding audio products that people hear everywhere in the world is unmatched by working any other audio company in the world.Cons
In recent years, corporate management in Stanford has become large and bloated, made up of mostly people from outside the audio industry who understand little about audio technology and the audio business. To make the non-corporate underlings more accountable they've put into place hierarchical layers of bureaucracy in all processes. As a result, decisions take forever to be made, often without valuable input from the people who know best. The slow decision process and compensation scheme means product managers are often unwilling to take risk: not exactly an environment to nurture innovation and new technology. Compensation is based on meeting unflexible targets set 1 year in advance (not long-term goals), so managers make decisions to maximize their bonuses, not always what's best for the medium-long-term health of the company and the consumer. A good example is arbitrarily moving factories/engineering to Mexico/China without adequate preparation. In the short-term, it saves money on paper, but at what cost? Time will tell whether the leaders realize what Harman's core competency is (good sounding products) and get behind it, before they destroy it.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Develop a medium-long term strategy around Harman's core competency (best-in-class audio and acoustics) and put into place processes, infrastructure and talented people who ensure that Harman continues to make best-in-class products.Doesn't RecommendDisapproves of CEO
