It never ends with the Yankees injuries this season. I feel like injuries are at least half of what I write about, but there is finally some good news -- Curtis Granderson is poised to come off the DL on Tuesday. Granderson, who admits that he is still not quite at 100 percent, is expected to ...

This is a nice way to use excess zucchini from the garden. The poblanos and red pepper add subtle sweetness and spice, especially if you leave in a few seeds from the poblanos. I substituted ground cumin, but think this would be better with cumin seed.
Tasty! I overcooked it slightly the first time I made it, which is very easy to do with zucchini, so watch out.
Using the previous suggestion of more poblano chilles really kicked this dish up a notch...however, for those who don't like it hot, I suggest following the original recipe. Good recipe to have in the summer zucchini file.

MovableType 5 support
March 2010
I have the recent MT5 installed on my server.
MovableType 5
differs from previous versions regarding the structure of a website and blog.
Maybe it's because of this that, when installing MarsEdit to try it out, your program didn't manage to get any post from my blog.
March 2010
Ok, it managed to get my posts after I found out that I had to change a "blog ID". Still, this is not a very good solution. MovableType5 allows for multiple sites and blogs, and it would be nice to have MarsEdit to get them all from my login.
Also, I would like to know if MarsEdit could retrieve static pages from MovableType.
Daniel Jalkut
March 2010
Hi RJ - sorry for the delay in responding.
I appreciate the benefit of being able to grab all the blogs from a given login and add them all at once. Adding a feature like this is on my TODO list but I'm not sure when I'll get to it.
The reason it behaves the way it does is because I've chosen a "home page-driven" approach to configuration as opposed to an account-based approach. I think this works better for a lot of users, especially first time users of the app, but I can definitely see how it's annoying to have to enter multiple blogs for the same site by hand.
BTW you should be able to just add each blog separately by its home page URL, assuming MT5 is still serving the appropriate "autoconfiguration" information that MarsEdit uses.
March 2010
Hello Daniel,
In fact, I believe that listing all blogs and sites retrieved from a MT account would be easier. The different blogs and websites could be listed as separate notebooks that could be collapsed with a triangle icon, in the style of MacJournal.
Also, editing static pages would be a great feature to have on Marsedit.
Please consider installing MovableType 5 to see for yourself what's new in terms of what it is possible to do nowadays on that platform, and how MarsEdit could be used to manage it locally on the desktop.
Thanks a lot,
- Ricardo.
Daniel Jalkut
March 2010
Thanks Ricardo, support for static pages are also on my TODO list for MT, assuming their API supports it.
May 2010
Hi Daniel,
Did MT static page support make it into 3.0? I can't find any reference to it...
Michael Rowe
Daniel Jalkut
May 2010
Hi Michael - I didn't do anything special in 3.0 to support MT pages. I am going to look into what is required to support them.
November 2010
Hi Daniel,
Any news on support for MT pages?
I finally got around to paying for an upgrade to 3.1... thanks for all your hard work!
Michael Rowe
Daniel Jalkut
November 2010
Sorry, I don't have any news to report. It's on my list of features to try to add, but it hasn't percolated to the top yet! Feedback like yours (reminders that real users want it) helps keep it fresh in my priorities, though.

New to the market is this quietly spectacular Lido Shores home–located at 1155 Center Place–that dates from 1957. It was designed by William Rupp and is pure Sarasota School of Architecture, particularly after a recent redo by Siebert Architects. My favorite touch is the glass walled garage, which sort of forces you to buy a […]Read More >>
By Robert Plunket The category of "diamond-in-the-rough" has always been my favorite when it comes to real estate.

The Fogartys are one of the oldest families in Bradenton. They originally settled in the area in the 1840s. There's a whole part of town named after them (Fogartyville), plus a cemetery, and there used to be a cafe/bar. Now the family homestead has just come on the market. The most amazing thing about it […]Read More >>
Tim Seibert may well be the most prolific of the Sarasota School of Architecture guys, with a career that goes back to the Paul Rudolph days and stretches to the present.

I've had my eye on Boca Royale down in Englewood for several years now, mainly because of the architecture.

I went to Arcadia over Labor Day weekend and I must say, what a quiet, peaceful place it is. Compared to Sarasota it's another world entirely, like a cattle town in Texas that time forgot.

BOSTON ( TheStreet) -- The Kardashian Kard is no more.
The prepaid debit card promoted by the surgically enhanced coven of Kim, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian will no longer occupy tweener wallets. It was announced Monday that the reality show trio has yanked the Master Card (MA)-branded plastic that bore their images following consumer group outrage and a threatened investigation by Connecticut's attorney general.
|Fees on credit and debit cards are just the beginning of calculating how much money consumers lose each year -- but a good one. Average credit card debt per spendthrift household is estimated at $15,788.
Among the laundry list of fees attached to the card (which, a statement from the issuer showed, had only about 250 takers) were $99.95 for the initial card purchase and 12 months of fees, a $7.95 monthly fee after the initial purchase period, $1.50 for ATM withdrawals, $2 for bill pay (each item) and $9.95 for a card replacement. Even canceling the card would set you back $6.Before one gets too amazed at the audacity of these fees, keep in mind that millions of Americans lose thousands of dollars every year in equally unnecessary expenses, fees, interest, convenience charges and paid for, but unused, services. 1. Credit cards
Any conversation about wasted money will inevitable turn to credit cards and the hefty price paid for their convenience. There are approximately 610 million credit cards held in the United States, and the average credit card debt per household that has such debt is $15,788, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston and CreditCards.com, part of the Bankrate Online Network. The site crunched out that the average APR on a credit card with a balance is just shy of 15%. Total U.S. revolving debt (98% of which is made up of credit card debt) was $852.6 billion as of March. All of these factoids add up to megabucks being handed over to credit cards companies each year. Even with regulations imposed by federal reforms this year, it is unlikely Americans will stop carrying over balances, and paying the price for doing so, any time soon. 2. Overdraft fees
Once considered a devastating and embarrassing faux pas, consumers these days actually seem to relish the opportunity to kite checks. As many as 75% of bank customers have opted to keep overdraft "protection" and the fees incurred, according to The Wall Street Journal. Illinois-based Moebs $ervices, a banking analyst, estimates banks will collect upward of $38 billion in overdraft fees next year, up from this year's estimated $35.4 billion. Last year, $37.1 billion was collected from overdrawn consumers, and the median overdraft price increased to $28 per check this year from $26 in 2009.

The AD8224 is the first single-supply, JFET input instrumentation amplifier available in the space-saving 16-lead, 4 mm × 4 mm LFCSP. It requires the same board area as a typical single instrumentation amplifier yet doubles the channel density and offers a lower cost per channel without compromising performance.
Designed to meet needs of high performance, portable instrumentation, the AD8224 has a minimum common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) of 86 dB at dc and a minimum CMRR of 80 dB at 10 kHz for G = 1. Maximum input bias current is 10 pA and typically remains below 300 pA over the entire industrial temperature range. Despite the JFET inputs, the AD8224 typically has a noise corner of only 10 Hz.
With the proliferation of mixed-signal processing, the number of power supplies required in each system has grown.
Designed to alleviate this problem, the AD8224 can operate on a ±18 V dual supply, as well as on a single +5 V supply. The device's rail-to-rail output stage maximizes dynamic range on the low voltage supplies common in portable applications. Its ability to run on a single 5 V supply eliminates the need for higher voltage, dual supplies. The AD8224 draws 750 μA of quiescent current per amplifier, making it ideal for battery powered devices.
In addition, the AD8224 can be configured as a single-channel, differential output, instrumentation amplifier. Differential outputs provide high noise immunity, which can be useful when the output signal must travel through a noisy environment, such as with remote sensors. The configuration can also be used to drive differential input ADCs.
For a single-channel version, use the AD8220.

Spring House Bequia is exclusive luxury Caribbean resort n the tropical Caribbean island of Bequia (pronounced Beck-way) in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Rent the entire villa or just a room. All Inclusive tariff available. Spring House is fully staffed with a 40 foot private pool on a 2 acre garden and estate. Designed by Caribbean architect Michael Connell, built and furnished by local craftsmen, featuring local artists' original work, and managed by a professionally trained chef and hotel manager. Spring House caters for 2 to 20 guests; guests who are accustomed to the finest vacation experience and who value the sanctity of their own private home away from home. Make this a true vacation for everyone by choosing our All Inclusive Plan and forget about food shopping, lugging groceries to the house, preparing, serving, cleaning up or laundry. Or just rent a couple of rooms if that is all you need. Either way, you will enjoy one of the Caribbean finest private luxury resorts.
Bequia is fortunate, primarily because of the visiting yacht trade, to have a large and varied selection of restaurants for such a small island. From American pizza to the finest French cuisine, from rotis in a beach bar to Mexican to local foods, we have it all. The beaches of Bequia are white sand, some are secluded and all are clean and uncrowded. The waters are perfect for swimming, snorkeling, sailing, diving — any water-sport you can think of. Bequia's mountainous terrain blesses it with several secluded harbors lined with long stretches of peaceful sands. All beaches are public,
but you'll rarely see more than a handful of people at any given time.
Perfect for weddings, family reunions, retreats, corporate functions of just a group of friends getting together.
Bequia, the second largest island, lies 9 miles / 14.5 km southwest of St Vincent. It is about 5 miles / 8 km long and 0.5 miles / 0.8 km wide and looks quite different from St Vincent, having rounded hills rather than mountains. There is a large difference between the coastlines on either side of the island: the windward (west) side is very rocky, while the leeward (east) side has many bays, most of them having white sand beaches.
The highest point of the island is at 900ft / 274m. The large natural harbour of Admiralty Bay is a popular yacht anchorage. Hills and beaches of white sand alternate around the Bay, with exposed rock cliffs along the southern edge.
Bequia offers a paradise complete with quiet lagoons, beautiful reefs and long stretches of near-deserted beaches. Small, beautifully lush and on the quiet side, Bequia has its own unique culture. The atmosphere is very West Indian and the inhabitants, who enjoy a comfortable standard of living, are friendly and polite.

Vital Remains
May 2003
Released: 2003, Century Media
Rating: 2.0/5
Reviewer: Anders Sandvall
Vital Remains formed in 1989 by the guitarists Paul Flynn / Tony Lazaro, the singer Jeff Grustin, and bassist Tom Supkow. This Providence, Rhode Island (USA) based band then recorded two demos with REDUCED TO ASHES in 1989 and in 1990 EXCRUCIATING PAIN. In 1991 came the 7'' called BLACK MASS. In 1992 came their legendary cult debut "LET US PRAY". An incredible amount of touring followed and they were support to the death metal icons Autopsy. The last album from the band, DAWN OF THE APOCALYPSE, came in 1999 and then the band took a break. In 2001 the band went through a line up-change. Tony on guitar, Dave Suzuki bass, drums and lead guitar, and Deicide mastermind Glen Benton took over the vocals and the new line-up was a fact.
Vital Remains recorded the new album in Morrisound studios (Morbid Angel, Six Feet Under, etc.). There's nothing wrong with the production - it's brutal, hard, and aggressive. Some of the influences for the band are old heroes such as Venom, Celtic Frost, Bathory, Sodom, Mercyful Fate and Destruction. The band plays death metal but this is more technically played and it has more tempo changes in every song compared to the bands mentioned above. Mr. Suzuki is incredibly good at both lead guitar as well as drums. Mr. Benton's growling lead vocals is the only thing that's similar to the old bands.
The band has put 9 tracks on their fifth work with the cover art being just as brutal as the music. This is brutal death metal that you've heard before. They are not contributing any new musical ideas in the death metal domain, but it's worth a listen of you live for death metal.

Emergency response
Life can change for millions of families in an instant: natural disasters take loved ones and the outbreak of war drives families from their homes. When the unthinkable happens, Mercy Corps delivers rapid, lifesaving aid to hard-hit communities.
We have responded to almost every global natural disaster in the last 20 years, including the Japan tsunami, Haiti earthquake, hunger crisis in the Horn of Africa, Indian Ocean tsunami, and most recently, Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.
Our seasoned emergency responders worked through the recent conflict in Gaza and are on the ground in Iraq, South Sudan and the Central African Republic distributing critical supplies and protecting families uprooted by ongoing violence.
We're also working to support 2.5 million people affected by the crisis in Syria, a long-term refugee crisis and humanitarian disaster with no end in sight. Learn more about our ongoing response to the Syrian crisis ▸

Yay! Comments are back!
Barrett, I think this sounds lovely, but personally if I were vegetarian (but fish eating) I'd substitute smoked trout or kippers for the fake bacon. Fake bacon is evil.
(And yes, bacon is one of the many reasons I could never be vegetarian!!)
Oh ye of little fake bacon experience. Modern fake bacon is pretty darn good. Most importantly you couldn't call this a BLT salad unless you used breem or bonano or other b-fish.
But smoked fish is near and dear to my heart and I might well see doing a chub, lettuce, and tomato or a sable lettuce and tomato salad.
Thank you, I have just been looking for info approximately this topic for a while and yours is
the best I have found out so far. However, what
in regards to the bottom line? Are you positive in regards to the source?

I hate writing headlines about the losing team losing, as opposed to the winners winning, and tried my best to avoid it here, but when it's a dynastic team like Salisbury, the temptation can be great. I succumbed. Sorry.
Washington & Lee is now the second ODAC team to knock off the 'Bury this year, as Lynchburg did it last week in Virginia. The Generals needed double overtime to take out the defending champs, and many people, including this author, were shocked to see a final score of 7-6. After a 1-0 SU first quarter, I guess I shouldn't have been that surprised, even if Ryan Clarke's swim move to goal was pretty spectacular (:35 second mark in video below).
Garrett Paglia is #5 in the above video. He had four goals in the game, and scored the only two Gs of the 2nd quarter for W&L, which gave the Generals a lead for a short period of time (15 seconds actually) before Clarke got the 2-2 equalizer with 7 seconds left in the half.
The third period was all W&L as they outscored SU 4-1, to take a solid 6-3 lead into the 4th, however the Gulls would not back down and cede the game. Not a surprise there. Clarke, Kluge, and Hammersley all scored for SU in the fourth. W&L had good chances to end in the first OT period, but in the end it was Luke Heinsohn who scored in the 2nd OT to give the Generals the big early season win.

Are the mortgage interest deduction's days limited?
November 1st, 2012 categories: Chicago Real Estate News
If you're a homeowner the odds are great that you're a fan of the mortgage interest deduction. Every year at income-tax time it allows you to deduct the amount of mortgage interest you paid the previous year. The deduction is one of the biggest perks of owning a home.
But politicians are eyeing that deduction. Many are considering eliminating or reducing it as a way to help reduce the country's soaring national debt.
Real estate writer Ken Harney recently took a closer look at the deduction and what it means to homeowners and the federal government. The results are illuminating.
For instance, Harney cites the Joint Committee on Taxation, which says that the mortgage interest deduction will cost the federal government $484.1 billion in lost revenue from fiscal year 2010 through fiscal year 2014.
During the same period, the federal government will lose $120.9 billion more when homeowners write off local and state property taxes.
In other words, these homeowner deductions have become tempting targets for politicians. They represent a huge source of revenue that could seriously dent the country's debt.
Critics of the mortgage interest deduction say that it's a regressive tax, one that helps wealthier people more than it does poorer people. That's because wealthier people tend to own larger, more expensive homes. They also tend to pay higher taxes on these residences. They then claim larger deductions each year.
Cutting or reducing this deduction, though, would take political courage. Homeowners aren't likely to forget the politicians who lead the charge to cut this perk. And the National Association of REALTORS® and National Association of Home Builders both vow to fight any efforts to cut back or eliminate the deduction.
Personally, I don't understand why legislators would do anything to eliminate a major benefit of buying a home. Homeownership is good for the health of the country and its economy. Cutting this major deduction doesn't seem like good policy to me.

Friday 19 Dec 2014
By David D'Arcy. Web onlyPublished online: 10 September 2013
Did Vermeer use a camera obscura to paint his highly detailed canvases? The longstanding art world debate is put to the test in a new film directed by Teller (of the well-know magic team Penn & Teller) that was recently screened at the Telluride and Toronto film festivals. In "Tim's Vermeer", the inventor Tim Jenison, who is untrained as a painter, sets up his own version of a camera obscura in a warehouse in Texas and traces an ultra-precise version of The Music Lesson by Vermeer. The experiment bolstered Jenison's view that the Dutch master enlisted the technology of lenses to enhance what his eyes could see, but also questions whether the use of an optical aid would lessen Vermeer's standing as an artist.
The experiment began when Jenison, who founded of the firm NewTek and created the successful brand of video editing software and hardware Video Toaster, brought the idea to his friend, the magician and performer Penn Jillette. Jillette's stage partner, Teller, whose parents were both painters, directed the film. Teller compares Jenison's project to his own medium, magic. "The biggest secret of any magic trick is that the magician is willing to go to much more trouble than you would ever have dreamed a person would, just to make a selected card appear in an unexpected place. Most really great art is that way too. It appears very easy, instantaneous. To get there, you had to spend an enormous amount of trouble. And the effect is magical." The film is Teller's first feature-length production and while it was widely praised in Toronto and Telluride, the director expects skepticism. "People are resistant to the idea that Vermeer might have used technology to help him, because they love the fantasy that someone could just walk up to a canvas and, divinely inspired, paint perfection, without a sketch beneath it. That makes the person into a supernatural being. It's superstition. It's arguing that magic is real," Teller says. "Magic isn't real. But the fact that human beings can achieve magical effects is not only real, but glorious." Teller stressed that knowing this secret, or the secret of any artist, won't diminish a viewer's appreciation of that artist. "This is one of those magic tricks that, when you know more, rather than less, about how it's done, it gets more amazing," Teller says. "That's true of almost every magic trick. Over the years, I'm less and less fooled by magic tricks, but I more and more enjoy the experience, because I know more about what goes into it." Jenison also defended the project and the argument for Vermeer's use of lenses. "It's not a shortcut. It's not cheating. It's just a way to get toward perfection," he says. "When we make special effects movies today, we think nothing of using every trick in the book to get a special image on the movie screen." And the seven months spent painting in a strained position to achieve the final work was anything but easy. "It was torture," Jenison says. "I guess we don't use that word any more. It was enhanced interrogation.""Tim's Vermeer", 80 minutes, directed by Teller, will be shown next at the New York Film Festival, 27 September-13 October.

Vermeer was good friends with van Leeuwenhoek the man who invented the microscope. So Vermeer must have had access to the latest lens technology and most certainly used this technology.
I am a follower of Penn & Teller, and find the article by David D'Arcy fascinating. The link between art and magic has been nicely covered, with both utilising methods not always commonplace to produce a desired effect.
Thoroughly enjoyable reading. Thank you.
I think that it is very likely that Vermeer used a camera obscura and have found a way he could have transferred images from the lens directly to his canvas.
See my website www.printedlight.co.uk for details of my experiment, recently published in the journal ART AND PERCEPTION.
Scientific analysis has shown that Vermeer worked in stages and that the first layer of his pictures are dark underpaintings, without line. Colour tracings under the projection would have been almost impossible and do not fit the evidence.
My suggested method has results that correspond with contemporary working practice and that look strikingly similar to Vermeer's own work.

The need for free betting deals is extremely high amongst experienced bettors. The free deals will let you place fascinating bets, without draining your wallet or hard earned cash. Online sports betting deals are classed into seven different types. If you wish to use betting deals to the fullest, you should be aware of its different types.
No Deposit Bonuses
The list of deals begins with "No Deposit" Bonuses. These offers are also known as free cash, free bets, no-cost bingo cards or spins on a slot. The bonus is for novice bettors, who wish to practice the game. It is a great way to win money from poker variants, casino games and real-time sports. Luxbet is one such site that offers an amazing sign up bonus.
First Deposits
Next inline would be the "First Deposit" Bonus. As suggested by its name, you should make a small cash deposit before betting. The bonus will depend on the cash deposit you make. As the amount increases, your bonus would grow gradually. In few cases, you should make a wager before using the bonus deal!
Instantaneous reloads
Moving on, many patrons depend on Reload bonuses. When compared against conventional opportunities, these deals are quite complicated. The deal will reload cash into your account. Every reload would be linked with a small amount of bonuses.
VIP benefits
A commonly used deal would be the "Valued Member Bonuses". These are deals with indispensible surprises. The bonuses are great to receive and use! If you are a fervent bettor, you will find these deals useful. For instance, skybet.com has special bonuses for VIPs! These are players with more than 100+ bets.
Casino offers
A betting deal found in casinos would be free spins. The spins are used during slot games. They are offered by casino operators. Thus, the number of spins will vary from one operator to another. The free spins will not ask you to make deposits or new signups. Similarly, you will come across bingo cards in casinos. The cards are offered for free, without any deposits, reloads or fines.
Cashable deals
Another potential point to be looked out for – would be cashable or non-cashable deals. Some games will delight you with cash at some point of time. These stances will make your bets a lot more profitable.
Time restricted deals
Finally, the virtual market has many time restricted deals. These offers will depend on the betting season or week! For instance, some casinos will give you 500 free credits, if you play for 3 consecutive days.

That is a striped beakfish swimming aboard a 20-foot-long Japanese boat that washed ashore last month at Long Beach, Washington. Five of the fish, plus other Japanese species of sea creatures, arrived alive, apparently hitching a ride across the Pacific Ocean on debris that came from the devastating tsunami that hit Japan on March 11th 2011. (The fish are found off the shores of Japan and China, not Washington, for the record.) Read more about the boat from the Department Of Ecology HERE and check their flickr account for more photos.
Check out this beautiful short film, called "Blind," which imagines what would happen if the gas masks that many Japanese bought after Fukushima had ended up being necessary in Tokyo. It's a terrifying experience.
Last week I came across a well-written piece in Slog, The Stranger's blog, by Goldy about the Fukushima reactors. The writer admitted they succumbed in the early stages to peer pressure and a basic understanding of the science to reassure readers that Fukushima was not Chernobyl. I could relate. I spent time espousing that theory myself. Today, with our technology, it would be impossible to produce a similar explosion. (It certainly doesn't mean the environmental damage could be worse.)
"No, the better metaphor for Fukushima is turning out to be last year's Deepwater Horizon oil spill, a disaster that dragged on for months, steadily spilling millions of gallons of toxic crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico," Goldy writes. "Like last year's Gulf spill, corporate and government incompetency/misinformation has made the severity of the Fukushima leak impossible for the public to measure. Likewise, Japanese government officials are now admitting that the release of radioactive materials may too continue for months."
Now comes the news of the evacuation area expanding.

Democracy Now reports radiation at the shoreline of the Fukushima nuclear power facility has measured several million times the legal limit, just four weeks after the earthquake and tsunami and days after workers discovered a crack where highly contaminated water was spilling directly into the Pacific Ocean.
On yesterday's program, host Amy Goodman was joined by Phillip White, an international liasion officer at the Citizens Nuclear Information Center in Japan.
AMY GOODMAN: Talk about the millions—the radiation is millions of times the acceptable limit. What does this mean in the water, in the ocean?
PHILIP WHITE: Well, it depends how it spreads out, whether it goes off into the Pacific or whether it accumulates in pockets along the coastline. It will certainly have an effect on fishing. The fishing industry is already seriously damaged by this. But I think you've got to look at it as—it's an ongoing thing. It's not as if this one release solves the problem. Tokyo Electric Power Company says that this will have a very small—be a very small dose, represent a very small dose to people who continue to eat fish. But whether or not that is an accurate analysis, it's not as if this is the end of the story. So, it's a very serious situation, and it's a long way before this is going to be brought under control.
Continue reading Japan releases radioactive water several million times the legal limit into the Pacific Ocean »
This scary flyover video in HD of the Fukushima plant shows the extent of the damage with rubble still smoking. Now the utility responsible for the reactors, did not until very recently have enough dosimeters for all of the employees who are working to stop an even worse catastrophe at the plant.
Normally, dosimeters would be worn at all times in order to measure cumulative exposure to radiation. Because of that error, worker exposure can only be estimated. A mother of one of the workers said her son and his colleagues are "have accepted they will all probably die from radiation sickness in the short term or cancer in the long-term."
More depressing news: Radiation has seeped into the groundwater and there are more reports of food becoming tainted.
This is the amazing story of Natalia Manzurova. She was a 35-year-old engineer at a nuclear plant in Ozersk, Russia, in April 1986 when she and 13 other scientists were told to report to Chernobyl only four days after a reactor caught fire. Manzurova and her colleagues were among the cleaners tasked with leading the removal and burial of all the contamination in what's still known as the dead zone.
She spent 4 1/2 years in an abandoned town called Pripyat , which was less than two miles from the Chernobyl reactors, helping clean. Manzurova says she is the only member of her team still alive. Now 59 and an advocate for radiation victims worldwide, she has the "Chernobyl necklace, " a scar on her throat from the removal of her thyroid. (Something Hanford "downwinders" have experienced.)
Yesterday morning, AOL news spoke to her about Japan before she began a tour organized by Beyond Nuclear. Please take the time to read this interview:
AOL News: What was your first reaction when you heard about Fukushima?
Manzurova: It felt like déjà vu. I felt so worried for the people of Japan and the children especially. I know the experience that awaits them.
But experts say Fukushima is not as bad as Chernobyl.
Every nuclear accident is different, and the impact cannot be truly measured for years. The government does not always tell the truth. Many will never return to their homes. Their lives will be divided into two parts: before and after Fukushima. They'll worry about their health and their children's health. The government will probably say there was not that much radiation and that it didn't harm them. And the government will probably not compensate them for all that they've lost. What they lost can't be calculated.

Yesterday's Tuesday Video looked back at Chernobyl with a rare glimpse into the dangers of radiation- but now we're finding more factors which will fortunately prevent Fukushima from reaching those levels. According to the Guardian:
A concern for the people not just of Japan but the Pan Pacific area is whether Fukushima will turn into the next Chernobyl with radiation spread over a big area. The answer is that this scenario is highly unlikely, because of the wildly different design of the two reactors.
The reason why radiation was disseminated so widely from Chernobyl with such devastating effects was a carbon fire. Some 1,200 tonnes of carbon were in the reactor at Chernobyl and this caused the fire which projected radioactive material up into the upper atmosphere causing it to be carried across most of Europe. There is no carbon in the reactors at Fukushima, and this means that even if a large amount of radioactive material were to leak from the plant, it would only affect the local area.
Thanks to the forces that be for protecting us from this information.
A document obtained via a U.S. embassy cable by Wikileaks quoted an unnamed expert who expressed concern that guidance on how to protect nuclear power stations from earthquakes had only been updated three times in the past 35 years.

The explosion at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant was elevated to a "serious accident" on a level just below Chernobyl. The International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale — or INES — goes from Level 1, which indicates very little danger to the general population. "It's clear we are at Level 6, that's to say we're at a level in between what happened at Three Mile Island and Chernobyl," Andre-Claude Lacoste, president of France's nuclear safety authority, said today.
Due to higher safety standards, advance warning, and evacuation notices, it's not likely that things will get as bad as in Chernobyl. Below is a rare silent film was taken on location just days after the Chernobyl meltdown- even the filmmaker was killed in the process.
His name was Vladimir Shevchenko and he worked for Central TV in Ukraine in 1986. He was given unprecedented access to the Chernobyl zone right after the meltdown and explosion destroyed reactor number four at the nuclear power plant. Radiation levels weren't entirely understood at the time- most of the people you see received lethal doses while working close to the reactor. Shevchenko himself climbed on the roof of the plant to get footage of the destroyed reactor core wearing just a cotton facemask for protection. He died of cancer a few weeks later.
At the plant in Daichi, about 200,000 people in a 12.4 mile radius were previously evacuated. Still, according to David Lochbaum, director of the Nuclear Safety Project for the Union of Concerned Scientists, "The contamination levels aren't linear, so the farther away you get doesn't necessarily mean you get a lower dose rate. Chernobyl, in some cases, had areas 100 miles away from the facility having significantly higher radiation levels than areas only 10 or 15 miles away."

On the morning of the recent MTV Video Music Awards, Justin Timberlake's head of security, Eric Burrows, or BIG E as he is better known, has his game face on. At Manhattan's chic restaurant Pastis, he waves off offers of coffee and breakfast. He will shortly whisk Timberlake to Radio City Music Hall for rehearsal, hover stage left during his client's performance later on that evening, guide him through an endless night of celebration, and then gear up for the weekend flight to London for a promotional tour. ''I'm working on fumes right now, darling,'' he says genially.
BIG E, affable and elegant, his 6-foot-3, 320-pound hulk compressed into a tailor-made suit, has worked for entertainers like Celine Dion, R. Kelly, and the Backstreet Boys. A Montreal native, he went to college to be a high school teacher, but somehow stumbled instead into shielding celebrities from their daily dramas paparazzi, cuckoo fans, the wicked works. ''I'll tell you how I really got started in this business,'' he says. ''My father was a strict disciplinarian. Like, mad strict. In a sense, he made me want to protect people. If you need protecting, call me. I'll get it done.''
The eight men pictured in these pages come from a wild array of backgrounds. Jeff ''Stretch'' Williams, who long watched over Diddy, was previously an NYPD cop for 8 years. Tadao, Wilmer Valderrama's man, cut his teeth bouncing drunks from Samoan bars in Carson, Calif. The inappropriately named Big Shorty (who, at 6 feet 8 inches and 491 pounds, loomed largest) got a degree in criminology and was training to be a probation officer in Rockford, Ill., before he fell into the fame game on a trip to L.A. He worked for Tone-Loc and Death Row Records before doing time with Beyoncé. ''Girls are harder,'' Big Shorty says, with a rumbling sigh. ''We can't hang out. I don't like to go get my hair done.''
There are a few things these men all have in common, though, the first being that they dislike being called bodyguards. ''It makes it sound like the job is more about bulk than brains,'' says Mike Garner, a.k.a. Mikey G, who watches over L.A. actors visiting New York for a Broadway or Law & Order gig. ''This is cerebral work. For me, it's 80 percent mental, and only 20 percent physical. If you're good at what you do, it's almost like playing chess. You want to be a few moves ahead of the crowd, the paparazzi. You're thinking about how many exits there are, where the car is at, how am I going to get my client out of this situation safely.'' ''A bodyguard is somebody's brother or somebody they used to playfootball with,'' seconds Stretch. ''Clubs have bodyguards. We're professionals.'' They consider themselves in the business of executive protection, and thus prefer the term personal security.
In terms of personality, these are unflappable men who can navigate chaos with a cool head. At a Manhattan bar, Stretch talked about his rough roots growing up in Harlem. ''I was not a good boy,'' he admitted. ''I was running numbers when I was 8 years old, doing whatever I had to do to survive and put food in my stomach.'' His street smarts served him well on the police force, and continue to inform his work today. ''If people just started shooting right now, I'd go into a relaxed calm. Everything would slow down and there would be no time to be scared.'' ''Always look like you're in control,'' stressed Mikey G's business partner, Carmine Lucariello, who worked with Ashlee Simpson while she rehearsed for her West End debut as Roxie Hart in Chicago. ''If you're in a state of panic, then that's a problem.''
They value discretion above all else. No whispered stories here about a client doing coke off a stripper's back. ''I'll cut my arm off before spilling secrets,'' vows Stretch. Another no-no is blurring the lines of the professional relationship. So don't bother bringing up the Kevin Costner movie. It's a sore subject.
And while many of these fellows sport an impressive girth, they know to keep their fists in check. Diplomacy and restraint are musts, and the best rely on a form of verbal judo. ''Nobody wants to be in an altercation,'' says Hassan Smith, who works for John Legend. ''But sometimes it gets to the point where, 'Alright now, I can't let that much disrespect stand.''' Smith, a smooth giant swathed in Gucci and Ermenegildo Zegna, bears an impressive skull scar from his days working with Ja Rule at the height of his fame. They were in a Las Vegas club in 2002 when some jerk swiped a bottle of champagne from Ja Rule's table. ''So I approached him like, 'You're being disrespectful now.' But he's popping, he's not bowing down. So I punch him in his face, and I jump on him and I'm beating his ass.'' The jerk's buddy blindsided Smith with a bottle to the back of his head. ''They got the ass-whipping of their lives.''
All in a day's work. And if you do it well, you can pull in a yearly salary upward of $200,000. But you will never know what it means to work 9 to 5, your cell phone will always be on, and your personal life constantly shoved aside whenever your client calls. ''In this world, it's never about you,'' says Big Shorty. ''It's always about somebody else.'' During his Los Angeles photo shoot, Big Shorty lumbers down the star-studded sidewalk of Hollywood Boulevard. A tour bus full of sunburned camera clickers stops at a red light, and a fat man in a pink tank top peers suspiciously at Big Shorty. ''Hey, you ain't nobody!'' the tourist yells. Little does he know.

Watch Neill Blomkamp's First Five Films Right Here Right NowFeatures By Christopher Campbell on August 11, 2013 | Be the First To Comment
This is another edition of Short Starts, where we present a weekly short film(s) from the start of a filmmaker or actor's career. Years from now (let's say 2154), Neill Blomkamp's significance in film history books will be that he was discovered through his short films. Specifically by Peter Jackson. And for a while he became a sort of poster boy for the situation where a young talented and economical filmmaker catches Hollywood's eyes with a remarkable short film showcasing computer-generated special effects that make it look like it cost a million bucks. He will also be known for being part of the related trend of a new filmmaker turning his calling-card-functioning short into a debut feature. And as it turns out, another short of his is set to be adapted for his third feature. And another was a test for what was supposed to be his first (the famous failure of the Halo movie). Following film school and a short time working as an effects artist in Vancouver (he's credited with animation on such things as 3000 Miles to Graceland and Smallville), the South Africa-born director made four notable shorts, one of which is really a commercial, before he moved into the big pictures courtesy of the mentoring Jackson. A fifth short was what originally came about through that partnership. You can watch all five below followed by links to watch six of his exceptional early ad works.
8 More Promised Movies That Still Haven't Been MadeCinematic Listology By Scott Beggs on May 10, 2012 | Comments (1)
The flames are hot here in development hell, and there's way too much cocaine. Way, way too much. So why wouldn't we come back? When we first examined 8 Promised Movies That Still Haven't Been Made, it was an exploration of the complex world of filmmaking where the smallest issue can derail an entire project potentially worth millions. Nervous executives, scheduling conflicts, hangnails. Getting a movie made is a miracle, and even those that get hailed in the press as moving forward are sometimes abandoned. Considering our national grand obsession with hypotheticals, here are 8 more movies we were told would happen that haven't (including some that won't).
5 Best Directors For 'Halo' That Won't Get the Job But ShouldCinematic Listology By FSR Staff on October 22, 2010 | Comments (8)
So the news cycle has already moved on to chirping about The Hobbit (making it feel like January again) and about Steven Spielberg making a robot movie (making it feel like 2005 and 2001 again), but that won't stop us from going all the way back to last week and continuing the conversation about Halo. With renewed efforts being made to bring it to the screen, the question continues to be who the best director would be for the job. We don't know the answer to that, but we do know who would make the most interesting version of Master Chief blasting the slaughter dew right out of some alien hordes. That's why we gathered together the bold (sometimes twisted) minds of the Rejects to answer the call and deliver a list of a few directors who would look outside the box to turn something incredibly commercial into something either brilliant or completely inaccessible. Without further ado, here's the list:

Now, with District 9, we know what we're missing, but we'll always have his short film and the question of what it might look like if he had a proper budget behind him.

Halo Movie Update: Stuart Beattie Goes RogueMovie News By Neil Miller on April 2, 2008 | Comments (9)
When you think of the video game Halo, what comes to mind? I think of a lot of time spent in front of my television, eating Cheetos and "socializing" with friends as I dominated 14-year old kids all around the world with the butt-end of my shotgun. You may have a different thought, but that is pretty much it for me.

Aldermore ups B2L LTV to 80%
Aldermore is today increasing its maximum LTV for buy-to-let products from 75 per cent to 80 per cent.
The lender is also raising its maximum buy-to-let portfolio size from three properties and a lending ceiling of £1m to five properties and a ceiling of £2m, as well as reducing its buy-to-let reversion rates by as much as 0.5 per cent.
Aldermore managing director of residential mortgages Charles Haresnape says: "We are very comfortable with the way our buy-to-let portfolio is performing and feel the time is now right to strengthen our range.
"These enhancements to both criteria and rates will ensure Aldermore's residential buy-to-let products are amongst the most competitive available and I have no doubt they will be popular with both brokers and their clients."
Mortgages for Business managing director David Whittaker says the new products are competitive and have some unusual features such as flat fees.
He says: "It is good to see Aldermore in the 80 per cent LTV buy-to-let space, which is gradually becoming more competitive."
