Kaplan Test Prep Takes Law School Applicants Behind The Curtain To Answer The Question: "How Do Admissions Officers REALLY Decide Who Gets In?"
Kaplan Test Prep's most popular event for aspiring law school students is back, for its fourth straight year. "You Be The Judge – A Mock Admissions Roundtable," a special episode on Kaplan's legal affairs web show "The 180," webcasting live, Tuesday, August 26, at 8:00 PM ET, will give pre-law students a behind-the-scenes look at what really happens during a law school admissions committee meeting.
Viewers will get to watch admissions officers from New York University School of Law (@nyulaw) and the George Washington University Law School (@gwlaw) and former admissions officers from the University of Virginia School of Law (@UVALaw) and Boston College Law School (@bclaw) conduct a realistic mock admissions meeting. They will review, discuss and analyze "sample" applicants' LSAT scores, undergraduate transcripts, personal statements, diversity statements, letters of recommendation, resumes and work experience, academic misconducts, criminal records, application addenda and more to show attendees exactly how they arrive at their ultimate decisions.
Event attendees can see the applications in advance by either downloading them at http://blog.kaplanlsat.com/wp-content/uploads/The_180_Mock_Apps_2014.pdf or viewing them at bitly.com/the180apps2014.
During the event, attendees can sound off with their own opinions on "the committee's" deliberations and verdicts as part of a live Twitter chat, using the hashtag #Kaplan180. Plus they can ask questions directly to Kaplan's admissions experts, who will be live tweeting from @KaplanLSATPrep."This must-attend event will give aspiring law school students an exclusive look into how actual decision makers arrive at their final decisions of who gets in, who doesn't, and the reasoning behind it. The admissions panel we assembled work or have worked at some of the country's top JD programs, so they can accurately give attendees unparalleled behind the doors access," said Jeff Thomas, director of pre-law programs, Kaplan Test Prep. "While a law school applicant's LSAT score remains by far the most important admissions factor, this event will give attendees a complete, holistic view of exactly what else top law schools look for."

hi, hoping that someone somewhere has done something like this before and would be kind enough to chuck it my way ? pretty please??
imagine I have (& I do !) a DB with page names and a field telling which order to display in
and I want to present the user the opportuninty to order those diferently
to say -
but via a page that does not need to refresh with every change,so they can reorder all the pages - hit submit and I end up with an array telling me the new world order so I can update my DB
so I assume I need a javascript array with the original order of things (from the DB) and then perhaps a form interface to allow the user to swap these around that can return to me the new order of things
any one have a clue what I am talking about (I know what I mean just not how to say it )resistance is...
MVC is the current buzz in web application architectures. It comes from event-driven desktop application design and doesn't fit into web application design very well. But luckily nobody really knows what MVC means, so we can call our presentation layer separation mechanism MVC and move on. (Rasmus Lerdorf)

As some of you may already know, I've been obsessed with finding a way around Indiana's curious regulations for deer firearms season. I had the idea of trimming the .35 Remington's 1.92-inch case down to 1.80 inches, the maximum legal case length for the season. I discarded that idea when learning the barrel must be stamped for a legal cartridge. I had considered, of course, a Marlin 1894 or Henry Big Boy, a Ruger 77/44, an H&R 1871 in .500 S&W Magnum, and even a Ruger No. 1 in .475 Linebaugh.
But I don't want to use pistol cartridges. Call me impossible.
Now, last month I came across an article for an Indiana wildcat called the .358 Hoosier. It's a .358 Winchester trimmed to regulation and that's it. Apparently, there's even a gunsmith who will install a custom barrel and make the necessary modifications to the receiver of any rifle that used the .308 case.
You can read about it here, and several folks I've communicated with on Indiana hunting forums attest to the ballistics claimed. Anyway, I just thought I would throw this out there for your entertainment. I am thinking of buying a used bolt-action and having it converted. Why? Well, what appeals to me here is that while the Hoosier was conceived for Indiana use, it is not limited in its utility. It still throws a 225gr bullet at .358 Win velocities, which makes it a great choice for black bears, big pigs, and the nearby Kentucky elk - if I'm ever lucky enough to draw a non-resident tag.
This isn't the only Indiana wildcat going right now, but it is the most practical. Others are the .358 WSSM, .358 1.8 Just Hunt, .358 Indiana Express, .358 BFG, .358 Grant, and I'm sure there're others. If you're wondering why everything is .358, that's the smallest caliber legal for deer firearms season.
Thanks, I just saw an add for that in the Hunting Regulations and it is very intriguing (if the DNR does not throw up on it). I have been unhappy with the accuracy on my 1894 (I think I am being too picky - about 2 inches at 50 yards despite LOTS of handload development, a scope, a happy trigger - my longest shot is 50 yards so it is Minute of Deer) so I actually ordered a muzzleloader for my Indiana deer hunting and will use that during firearm and muzzleloader seasons.
Great idea - I will be watching to see how it pans out.
I saw an ad for the 358 in the Indiana Hunting & Trapping Guide, mighty tempting, but I think I will get a new crossbow with the new laws. Not a rifle, but I like the idea of being able to hunt from October to January.
Team 30-30 #620
I don't live in Indiana but I did read the law/regulation awhile back the last time this subject came up. What I got out of it is that the reason for the 35 cal or larger pistol cartridge rifle is bullet energy at pistol cartridge velocity. The point is Indiana doesn't want the bullet to go the distance that can be achieved with rifle cartridges. Indiana regulation even make it so simple that even I understand. They list the names of the pistol cartridges that are legal to use in rifles.
So I think the 1. 80 case length is half of the law/regulation and the other half is pistol cartridge. Trimming down a rifle case still makes rifle cartridge in my books and I believe in the Indiana's books too.
But interesting anyhow. But it sounds like another bench rifle cartridge.
Good luck with the 358 But before you invest see if it is on their list.
My Avatar is my brother John who left me to soon. He was 10 Y/O 1 month older than me. He took me off the Streets of Brooklyn taught me how to handle a rifle and to hunt. For his attention I would always be grateful. Rest in Peace Brother John.
Levergunguy, if you trimmed that case to 1.80, and had an old 336 (that you maybe didn;t mind doing this to), why couldn;t you "x" out the factory cartridge marking on the barrel, make a name for your new "wildcat", and stamp it on there. I'm wondering if that would be legal(?) I mean, it isn;t like obliterating the serial number or anything.
I know that's kind of extreme, seeing as how the rifle would still shoot the standard 35Rem, but ti comes to my mind out of spite for the regulation. Now, these regulators at the State level, would anyone believe they "didn;t know" about the 35Remington? Nope. They knew, and purposefully excluded it. I would bet anyway.

I just don't think the DNR expected that wildcatters would find a way to match .358 Win ballistics in a case that length.

MONTREAL — Following last June's provincial budget, there was an outcry from some parts of the business community over the Liberal government's decision to cut tax credits on business investment by 20 per cent. Lobby groups warned that Quebec could not compete against other jurisdictions for new investment unless it matched the fiscal incentives found elsewhere.
One thing is certain: there will be a run on Jean Paul Gaultier's final ready-to-wear collection when it hits stores next spring.

There is an endless debate in Montreal as to whether there are too many restaurants in our city.
There are worse things than watching two excellent actors slumming it in a middlebrow romantic comedy; and there are better. French director Marc Fitoussi's La ritournelle falls squarely between the two. It's an entirely pleasant but inconsequential way to spend a couple hours, and maybe pick up a trite life lesson along the way.
Montrealers joined hundreds of thousands of people marching in cities around the globe Sunday to press world leaders to take significant action at a major climate summit Tuesday in New York City. Unfortunately, their urgent message seems to have been lost on Prime Minister Stephen Harper. While U.S. President Barack Obama will address the United Nations climate gathering, Harper will not, though Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq will be in attendance. Harper will appear at a separate climate dinner, but he has decided to join his counterparts from China and India, both major greenhouse-gas emitters, in taking a pass on the main event — a move that registers as a snub in diplomatic circles.
They came by the thousands on Sunday, with dogs and children and umbrellas in tow, to send a message to world leaders descending on New York City for an unprecedented United Nations Climate Summit.

December 21, 2014
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) - Kansas guard Wayne Selden announced Tuesday that he return for his sophomore season.
The 6-foot-5 Selden averaged nearly 10 points for the Jayhawks, whose season ended with a 60-57 loss to Stanford on Sunday in the third round of the NCAA tournament.
Selden was considered a first-round talent coming out of high school, but an up-and-down campaign may have caused his stock to drop. Most draft projections had him going late in the first round or at some point in the second round.
Fellow freshman Andrew Wiggins has already said he plans to enter the draft, while 7-foot center Joel Embiid is still weighing his options. Most expect the Cameroon native to be a top-five pick despite a back injury that caused him to miss the NCAA tournament.

"The End" is a song by The Beatles composed by Paul McCartney (credited to Lennon–McCartney) for the album Abbey Road. It was the last song recorded collectively by all four Beatles,[1] and is the final song of the medley that dominates side two of the LP version of the album.
McCartney said, "I wanted [the medley] to end with a little meaningful couplet, so I followed the Bard and wrote a couplet."[2] In his 1980 interview with Playboy, John Lennon acknowledged McCartney's authorship by saying, "That's Paul again ... He had a line in it, 'And in the end, the love you get is equal to the love you give,' which is a very cosmic, philosophical line. Which again proves that if he wants to, he can think."[3] Lennon misquoted the line; the actual words are, "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make."[4]
Recording began on 23 July 1969, when the Beatles recorded a one-minute, thirty-second master take that was extended via overdubs to two minutes and five seconds. At this point, the song was called "Ending."[5] The first vocals for the song were added on 5 August, additional vocals and guitar overdubs were added on 7 August, and bass and drums on 8 August, the day the Abbey Road cover picture was taken.[6] Orchestral overdubs were added 15 August, and the closing piano and accompanying vocal on 18 August.[7]
All four Beatles have a solo in "The End", including a Ringo Starr drum solo. Starr disliked solos; he preferred to cater drumwork to whoever sang in a particular performance.[8] The take in which he performed the solo originally had guitar and tambourine accompaniment,[5] but other instruments were muted during mixing giving the effect of a drum solo. The additional instruments were restored for a remix on the Anthology 3 compilation album.[9] The drum solo was also later used at the beginning of "Get Back" on the 2006 album Love.
McCartney, Harrison, and Lennon perform a rotating sequence of three, two-bar guitar solos.[1][10] The solos begin approximately 53 seconds into the song and end just before the final piano part. Lennon described it in his 1970 interview with Rolling Stone: "There's a nice little bit I played on Abbey Road. Paul gave us each a piece, a little break where Paul plays, George plays and I play."[11] The first two bars are played by McCartney, the second two by Harrison, and the third two by Lennon, then the sequence repeats.[1] Each has a distinctive style which McCartney felt reflected their personalities: McCartney's playing included string bends similar to his lead guitar work on "Another Girl" from the Help! album and the stinging style he had first perfected on "Taxman" from Revolver; Harrison's solo incorporated the melodic yet technically advanced slides that were becoming his trademark; lastly Lennon's contribution was rhythmic, snarling, and had the heaviest distortion, echoing his lead work in "Revolution". Immediately after Lennon's third solo, the piano chords of the final line "And in the end..." begin. Then the orchestration arrangement takes over with a humming chorus and Harrison playing a final guitar solo that ends the song.
"The End" was initially intended to be the final track on Abbey Road, but it is followed by "Her Majesty". In the first practice mix of the medley, constructed on 30 July, "Her Majesty" followed "Mean Mr. Mustard" (on the released version of the album, "Her Majesty" begins with the excised final chord of "Mean Mr. Mustard"). According to sound engineer John Kurlander, McCartney said, "I don't like 'Her Majesty,' throw it away." Kurlander cut it out, but said, "I'd been told never to throw anything away, so after he left I picked it up off the floor, put about 20 seconds of red leader tape before it, and stuck it onto the end of the edit tape." When McCartney heard "Her Majesty" in its new position he liked it and decided that it should remain on the album.[12]
The song commences in A Major key, with an initial I-IV-II-V-I structure matching the vocals on "Oh, yeah, All right!" This is followed by a #ivdim-I pattern (D#dim chord to A chord) on "dreams tonight." During this, the accompanying bass and one guitar move chromatically from A to B and D#, while the second guitar harmonises a minor third higher to reach F#.[13] The sequential three guitar solos rotate through I7 (A7 chord)-IV7 (D7 chord) changes in the key of A in a mix of "major and minor pentatonic scales with slides, doublestops, repeated notes, low-bass string runs and wailing bends".[14] The final "Ah" is in C with a spiritually evocative Plagal cadence IV-I (F-C chord) on piano while the voices do an F to E shift.[15] "And in the end the love you take" is in A major, but the G/A chord supporting the word "love" begins to dissolve our certainty that we are in A, by adding a ♭VII. The next line shifts us to the fresh key of C, with a iv (F) chord that threatens the dominance of the departing A key's F#: "Is eq-ual" (supported successively by iv (F) -iii (Em) chords with an A-G bass line) "to the love" (supported successively by ii (Dm) vi (Am) ii7 (Dm7) chords with a F-E bass line) "you make" (supported by a V7 (G7) chord).[16] The final bars in the key of C involve a I-II-♭III rock-type progression and a IV-I soothing cadence that appear to instinctively reconcile different musical genres.[17]
Richie Unterberger of Allmusic considered "The End" to be "the group's take on the improvised jamming common to heavy rock of the late '60s, though as usual The Beatles did it with far more economic precision than anyone else."[18] John Mendelsohn of Rolling Stone said it was "a perfect epitaph for our visit to the world of Beatle daydreams: "The love you take is equal to the love you make."[19].
The song is included as the encore on The Beatles: Rock Band. McCartney's second guitar solo, Lennon's last guitar solo and Starr's drum solo were used in the intro to "Get Back" in the Beatles' Love.
In Ralph Bakshi's 1972 film Fritz the Cat, Fritz quotes the line "the love you give is equal to the love you get" when deciding not to plant a bomb in a nuclear power plant and rejecting violent revolutionary politics. The character's creator, Robert Crumb, denounced this dialogue as "red-neck and fascistic".[20]
The Beastie Boys sampled a portion of "The End" for their track "The Sounds of Science" from Paul's Boutique.[21]
Chris Farley famously asked McCartney on the "Chris Farley Show" skit on Saturday Night Live, whether it was true that "the love you take is equal to the love you make." McCartney replied, to Farley's delight, that, in his experiences, it was, saying "the more you give, the more you get." This explanation recalled Lennon's misquote in his 1980 interview.
Paul McCartney performed the closing couplet of "The End" at the 2012 Summer Olympics opening ceremony just prior to closing the event with a performance of the song "Hey Jude."

Thread: Scranton Firefighters make minimum wage
07-22-2012, 12:56 PM #26The situation in Scranton is special in that EVERY employee is taking the cuts, not just the firefighters. The city is broke. Where do you want the money to come from? These guys have a few options. Either severely adjust their way of living (house, cars, etc.) or quit and get another job. These are tough economic times and we are long past the point of thinking we are immune to the affects of such simply because we (as a service) are public employees."The education of a firefighter and the continued education of a firefighter is what makes "real" firefighters. Continuous skill development is the core of progressive firefighting. We learn by doing and doing it again and again, both on the training ground and the fireground."
Lt. Ray McCormack, FDNY
Well, lest we forget, some people such as myself took a severe paycut (higher in percentage from my current pay to minimum wage) just to work this job. Could I afford to do it? Possibly, but it would throw the strain on my partner and that wouldn't sit very well for me. I've also had the opposite problem, finally having an opening at my dream department but having to say no due to the fact I'd have to start all over on the pay scale. There's no doubt that being cut to that extent is tough on all but the most financially secure. I understand GTR's comment and agree to a certain extent but I do feel it's possible to leave out of responsibility to your family/ not stay out of a selfish desire to do what you love. I wish them all the best, I couldn't imagine the difficulty of that decision."I was always taught..." Four words impacting fire service education in the most negative of ways. -Bill Carey

If my fire department pay was cut to minimum wage I would have no other choice than to seek a THIRD job, a full time one in fact, to be able to keep my house.
Right now, in addition to my firefighting job I am a part-time tech college fire instructor. That job and working 56 hours a week at minimum wage would NOT allow me to pay my bills. It doesn't matter how much I love being a firefighter, or how dedicated I am to protecting the lives and property of the community I serve, the harsh reality is I simply could not financially make it on minimum wage.Crazy, but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe it's not too late
To learn how to love, and forget how to hate
So you believe that these fire fighters are greedy to get fairly compensated for an honest days work in a skilled trade? Your solution is not to hold those responsible for causing this situation, but chastise the employees and have the attitude; well to bad,adjust your life style or quit and find another job if you don't like it?
Funny from an individual that has both career and volunteer in their signature...why, the volunteer side of the job not paying enough?My posts reflect my views and opinions, not the organization I work for or my IAFF local. Some of which they may not agree. I.A.C.O.J. member

As I've said previously, I live here. These are the guys I work with, that I train with, and that I hang out with. Luckily, we all do not get paid by the same people...
Scranton FD May not be known for the Heroic Efforts in Structure Fire's, or their amazing ability to make 1 gallon of water put out 3 car fire's. But their a bunch of good men. These guys train, they work, and they fight, just like the rest of us. Many of the city's firemen are paramedic's in a side job, or a PA Fire Instructor. When I heard what had happen, the only thing I could think of is that If this happend nationwide, It would Kill the profession. No one would ever wan't to be a fireman, and allot of people would have to leave. Imagine your department, or your fulltime job cutting you like this...

The situation in Scranton is special in that EVERY employee is taking the cuts, not just the firefighters. The city is broke. Where do you want the money to come from? These guys have a few options. Either severely adjust their way of living (house, cars, etc.) or quit and get another job. These are tough economic times and we are long past the point of thinking we are immune to the affects of such simply because we (as a service) are public employees.
This isn't a case of the guys in Scranton thinking they are immune to the poor economy. They have been living it for a long time now. The City of Scranton has been in Act 47 status (PA Distressed Municipality Designation which brings state oversight and significant constraints on the collective bargaining process) for 20 years. They have been hemorrhaging jobs for years and the FD is a pretty much a shell of it's former self. They have made concessions. They have offered other concessions that have been rejected by the City.
This current situation is the product of hubris and a "my way or the highway" style of governance by the Mayor. The city is unable to get a $17 million bond right now because there isn't a new "recovery plan" (a requirement under Act 47) in place - this is what is causing what is essentially a "cash flow problem". The Mayor wants a 78% property tax raise as part of it, the Council wants to explore other revenue options to reduce the amount that taxes will be raised. The Mayor won't even consider it and this stunt is a political move to force Council's hand regarding the recovery plan.
Think about it, outright layoff of a portion of the city workers affects a smaller number of workers and allows those workers access to full unemployment benefits and other assistance. Plus they would be able to look for alternate employment while waiting to be called back to work since this is supposedly a "short-term" need. Cutting the pay of all employees by 2/3 significantly effects EVERY EMPLOYEE, hinders the ability to collect unemployment and possibly other assistance, virtually eliminates the ability to find (temporary) alternate employment since they are still working full-time for the city and will likely cause issues with their credit scores, bills, mortgages, etc that could extend beyond the short-term. It's nothing more than a strong arm tactic using the employees as pawns in a political chess match.
Frankly, your portrayal of this as a situation of needing to accept cuts (regardless of the reasonableness of those cuts) as part of a new economic reality or move on to better paying employment is at best ignorant and otherwise simply repugnant.

And BTW, this is a SKILLED trade, not burger flipping. Working for minimum is okay if you're on a paid on call dept. that just can't justify fulltime positions. You're doing it as a service, not because you depend on it to feed your family.

Shell Selling Most of Its $5.7 Billion Woodside Stake Is a Win-Win Deal
NEW YORK (TheStreet) --The Anglo-Dutch oil giant Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A) (RDS.B) has finally decided to sell a majority of its stake in a company it unsuccessfully tried to takeover in 2001.
Woodside Petroleum
(WOPEY) is Australia's second-largest oil and gas producer after BHP Billiton
(BHP) and is 23.1% owned by Shell.
Shell is selling 19% of Woodside for nearly $5.7 billion. It has been trying to reduce its stake ever since the Australian government thwarted Shell's takeover attempt more than 10 years ago.
This move means positive things for both companies. Through the asset sale, which is a part of Shell's divestiture program, the company will increase its focus on its two projects in Australia that underpin the future of its liquefied natural gas, or LNG, program while allowing it to reward its shareholders through dividends and buybacks.
Meanwhile, Woodside will be able to grow its earnings per share on the back of this deal. The company's near-term outlook isn't looking bright but an earnings boost might appease Woodside's shareholders.This year, Shell's A and B American depository receipts have risen by more than 13% each to $80.33 and $84.48, respectively. Shell will sell 9.5% stake to institutional investors for A$41.35 a share, 3.5% lower than Woodside's Monday's closing price of A$42.85 per share. Woodside will purchase, and cancel, the remaining 9.5% stake for A$36.49. The discount on sale price reflects Woodside's challenging production growth prospects. The company is not going to invest in the $2.5 billion Leviathan natural gas project in offshore Israel while its Browse gas-export project in Western Australia has been delayed by two years. On a positive note, by buying back its stock Woodside has said that it will be able to grow its earnings per share by 6%. Moreover, despite the discount, Shell has been able to benefit from the increase in oil prices coming from the crisis in the Middle East. The fuel prices have gone up by more than 10% this year, which has pushed Woodside's shares 10% higher. The recent sale price of A$41.35 a share looks attractive as it is closer to what the company got more than three years ago when it sold its 10% stake in Woodside for A$42.23 a share.

You remember that car, dont you?
You loved it once. It got you where you needed to go. You still have nostalgic memories of it now.
For Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton, that well-loved car is his body and right now hes frustrated with it.
In a freewheeling press conference Thursday about the series of injuries that have threatened to keep him out of Sundays season opener at Tampa Bay, Newton said of his body: Its kind of like that old faithful car. You fix the A/C; now the carburetors out. Then you fix the carburetor; youve got a flat tire. You fix the flat tire; now your windshield wipers dont work.
Its frustrating because you know its a good car, Newton continued. This car has got you to this point. And now its like every single thing is happening. And the thing is, you keep messing the car up not even driving it.
Newton has never missed a real game at any level because of injury, and I still dont think he will miss Sundays game.
But that possibility is now on the table. Last week, Newton said there was no doubt he would play in Tampa. Now he is hedging his bets a little, talking about how he doesnt want to jeopardize the team or his own future by rushing his way back from fractured ribs. A decision likely wont be made until game day, Panthers coach Ron Rivera said.
Here is my totally unscientific reasoning as to why Newton is going to play Sunday despite the ribs and the offseason ankle surgery he feels good, or at least good enough.
Newton was his normal playful self on Thursday pretending to hide from a photographer behind a blocking sled and screaming out Luke Kuechlys middle name during Kuechlys interview session. (A-u-u-u-u-gust!)
Newton also continued his car analogy when someone asked what make and model his body would be.
A 2020 Ferrari, Newton said. But still, it got called back to the factory because it did have some (things wrong). But if we can fix those things, man ... Newton whistled in admiration.
I think Newton was happy because he is feeling better as it gets later in the week. The quarterback said Thursday he was on pace to play. When asked what might disrupt that pace, he said: Maybe walking home and somebody wants to mob me or something like that. Getting hit by a car. Running away from a tiger. Theres a lot of things.
If Newton keeps away from circuses and texting drivers, though, I think hes playing Sunday. Certainly Tampa Bay believes he will play.
Lets think about the alternatives for a second, though, if he doesnt play. Backup quarterback Derek Anderson is good enough to win the Tampa game under the right circumstances. Third-stringer Joe Webb doesnt know the offense as well but had a good August.
Newton can and will manage the pain if at all possible, though and there has been some serious pain. As he said Thursday: Anyone who has ever had fractured ribs knows: Its hard to sleep. Its hard to make sudden moves. Its hard to breathe. Its hard to cough. Its hard to sneeze.
Its also hard to throw a football. Not to throw it once, but to throw it over and over, with the velocity an NFL quarterback has to have. The normally candid Rivera wouldnt even say whether Newton threw the ball in practice Thursday. Newton only handed off during the portion that reporters saw. Thats how coy the Panthers are playing this.
But I think the old car starts up one more time on Sunday. The windshield wipers may still not be working. But it still runs.

Just Call It 'Gesamtkunstwerk'
By Aaron Hicklin
(Taken from Neue Cuisine: The Elegant Tastes of Vienna, by Kurt Gutenbrunner)
Tomato Pepper Martini (Paradeiser-Pfeffer Martini)
This is one of Wallse's most beloved cocktails. People often look at the name and think it's some kind of Bloody Mary hybrid. It's not. Pepper vodka is mixed with a dash of Tabasco and homemade Tomato Water then strained into a chilled glass. The result is a fantastic, icy martini with a delicate tomato flavor and a touch of spice.
- 2 Tablespoons of tomato water (see accompanying recipe)
- ½ tsp celery salt
- 2 dashes Tobasco
- 1 oz pepper-flavored vodka
- 1 oz plain vodka
- 1 cherry tomato
1.Using a spray bottle, spritz a chilled martini glass with the vinegar, if using.
2.Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the Tomato Water, celery salt, Tabasco, and both vodkas and shake well. Train the cocktail into the glass. Garnish with the cherry tomato, and serve.
Tomato Water (Paradeiserwasser)
Making Tomato Water is a great way to distill the essence of tomatoes into a limpid liquid. It can be used in a variety of dishes, sauces, and drinks, but I especially love it in the Tomato Pepper Martini. Just make sure you get ripe, juicy tomatoes, or you won't get enough liquid out of them.
Makes Two Cups
- 5 pounds very ripe tomatoes, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ½ oz gin
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- Dash of fresh lemon juice
1.In a blender, combine the tomatoes with all the other ingredients, and puree until smooth.
2.Line a colander with a large piece of cheesecloth and set the colander over a large bowl. Pour the tomato puree into the colander. Using kitchen string, tied the cheese cloth into a loose bundle. Transfer to the refrigerator and let the tomato water drip into the bowl overnight.
3.Pour the Tomato Water into a bowl and reserve the puree, if desired.
The Vienna 1900
I love the Viennese Earl Grey we get from our tea purveyor, Harney & Sons. It's a black tea similar to the regular Earl Grey but Darjeeling is added to the base blend. In this cocktail, it infuses gin for a delicious highball.
Tea-infused gin
- 1 cup loose Earl Grey
- 1 quart gin
For each serving:
- I tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Tonic water
- 1 tarragon sprig
- 1 lemon slice
- Simple syrup (one cup sugar to one cup water, see below)
1.Make the tea-infused gin: In a quart-container, combine the sugar and water, bring to a simmer, and cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Let the syrup cool slightly, then refrigerate.
2.Make the simple syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water, bring to a simmer, and cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Let the syrup cool slightly, then refrigerate.
3.Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add ¼ cup of the tea-infused gin, the lemon juice, and a splash of the simple syrup and shake well. Fill a highball glass with ice. Strain the drink into the glass and top off with tonic water. Garnish with tarragon sprig and lemon slice.
Pomegranate Fizz
An Austrian take on the classic gin fizz, this colorful cocktail is prepared with pomegranate juice and a splash of elderflower syrup, which makes the drink both sweeter and tarter than the original.
- 2 tablespoons pomegranate juice
- 1 oz gin
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Splash of elderflower syrup
- 1 ounce Sekt or other sparkling wine.
1.Fill cocktail shaker with ice. Add all the ingredient apart from Sekt, shake well, and strain into a tall Champagne flute. Top off with Sekt, and serve.

Hello dear documentary colleagues!
I'm Shui-bo Wang, a Montreal based filmmaker and I also teach at the prestigious Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing, as a visiting professor. My animated autobiographical documentary Sunrise Over Tiananmen Square was nominated for an Academy Award in 1999. I made two other documentaries titled Swing in Beijing and They Chose China, and currently working on a couple of documentary feature film projects both in Canada and China.
Welcome, Shuibo. Be sure to apply for professional membership to get full access to all of the discussion forums.
thank you very Doug! All the best!
Hi, My name is Simone and I started a project a few years ago- www.nomadichands.com
If anyone is interested in helping out with an upcoming documentary in the Ecuadorian Amazon very soon, I´ve just posted info about it in the public classified section. I´m always open to help with all other areas of the project too ;)
Welcome to The D-Word, Simone, Shuibo, Nick...
Greetings and Thanks for welcoming me into The D-Word. My name is Adam Lichtenstein and I am an Avid and Final Cut Pro Editor of features, commercials (web, too) and documentaries (TV news docs, reality, and theatrical). My most recent project was for HBO about the late great 70s character actor John Cazale called I KNEW IT WAS YOU. It's making its tour of film festivals, having recently been at Sundance where it was in the Documentary Spotlight program. It's a great little gem and particular favorite of film people. I hope you all enjoy. Again, thanks for inviting me into The Discussion. Warmly, Adam L.
A warm welcome to Simone and Adam. Good to have you both here and leaping in.
I saw I KNEW IT WAS YOU at Sundance and really liked it. Welcome, Adam!
SCRAPPLE is a personal fave of mine...
Hey Simone...good to see you on here!
In reply to Doug Block's post on Thu 19 Mar 2009 :
Many thanks, Doug.
In reply to Ben Kempas's post on Thu 19 Mar 2009 :
That means a lot, Ben. And thanks for having me.
In reply to Riley Morton's post on Fri 20 Mar 2009 :
Thanks, Riley. SCRAPPLE's my favorite too.
Hi everyone,
This is Ruby Yang from Beijing, my home/work base for the last 5 years. Relocated from San Francisco in 2004, I am still fascinated by Beijing and the rest of China.
Thomas Lennon, my colleague has been telling me about this site. Glad I am now part of this professional community.
Welcome, Ruby! I've known of you through Tom for many years now, so it's great to finally have you joining us here. I guess modesty prevented you from mentioning the documentary short Oscar you and Tom won last year for "The Blood of Yingzhou District", but not me.
Hi Ruby – good to see you again, if only virtually.
In reply to Ruby Yang's post on Sun 22 Mar 2009 :
Ruby halo,
please, keep me in mind in case you come along with medical video footage.
Hey Documentary community. I am Rick Eisenstein of Los Angeles and I am working on a documentary about the mortgage meltdown leading to the the foreclosure fiasco.
Hello, all!
I'm very new to the documentary production process. I am helping a friend raise money to realize his dream of making a documentary questioning the mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of Edgar Allan Poe against the backdrop of the socio-economic and political realities of 19th century Baltimore.
He's been working on this for well over a decade now, and has a very detailed and well-thought plan, in addition to some participation arrangements with successful documentary filmmakers, so I am confident in the "bedrock" of the written materials and accounting data upon which I am building our funding strategy.
I am familiar with fundraising for social service agencies, higher education, and the visual arts, but this is my first foray into documentary film and it looks like there are significant aspects of documentary funding that are unique to the discipline.
I've found some solid information online and even a few leads worth pursuing, but would definitely be grateful for any wisdom and advice I could gain from those more experienced than I.
Most notably-what are good ways to get leads/ideas/contact information for organizations that issue grants for documentary films (particularly those focusing more on the American history and/or literature fields)?
Thanks for any guidance anybody should provide!
I am merely an amateur who is just getting into filmmaking. My real passion lies in Social Media. I am the Social Media Strategist for a nonprofit organization called Working Films. We work with a lot of documentary films and help create audience engagement strategies so that their films can really have an impact on the social issues they are about. I am really interested in seeing how filmmakers are using social media to get the word out about their films and to engage their audience.
Are there any filmmakers here who have been using social media tools in their film campaigns?
In reply to Richard Eisenstein's post on Mon 23 Mar 2009 :
Rick – sounds interesting. Just make sure to include a montage of a baby carriage rolling down steps.
Welcome Richard, Rob and Lynn.
Lynn, you might want to browse thru the Marketing and Distribution topic, where a number of filmmakers are discussing social media and networking tools (most lately, Angela Alston).
I'm a reformed network news producer who has spent the past 2.5 years shooting in India, Pakistan and W. Africa for a broadcast-length doc called SOLD:Fighting the New Global Slave Trade. It's about three courageous people who defy death threats, carry out daring rescues and challenge powerful interests in the battle to end child slavery in the 21st Century. It's not another film about what's wrong with the world, it's a film about a Christian, a Hindu and a Muslim who are kicking butt and making a difference. (I'm still trying out my loglines ... as you can guess).
Mira Nair has just signed on to be our narrator and we are working with several NGO's on our outreach campaign. I'm navigating the foreign broadcast sales world right now and look forward to the wise counsel of those who have already trod this thorny path ....

I searched images online for an enchanted diamond sword with excellent resolution. Then printed it out, took it to my local grocery store bakery and had them print it out onto an edible icing sheet. Then, I care fully cut it out at home. I rolled out gumpaste 1/8" thick and after peeling off the backing from the icing sheet sword, I used a brush to tack the backside with water so it will adhere to the gumpaste. Using an exacto knife, I trimmed the gumpaste off the sword and let it dry for a few hours. Tip: Don't place in the cake until an hour before the celebration. Use a knife to cut a slot into the cake where the diamond sword will be gently pushed in. It is very easy to break, and the buttercream inside the cake will soften it if it's in the cake more than an hour.

Removed the door and the inner panel of the door and replaced the hinges. Replaced the screws and put the oven door back on. It closes tight now just like new. I have now ordered the replacement cap so my oven looks like new again. I only have one suggestion to make the installation easier. If the manufacturer would prethread the holes in the new parts, it would save time from having to prethread the holes with the screws, prior to installing them.

The Economics of Gym-Going, Part 2
From a reader named Laura Brown:
Read More »
I recently joined a gym in a low-income part of Baltimore. For $10 a month, a person has unlimited access to the equipment — including treadmills that have individual televisions with about 20 different channels. For $19.99 a month, they have unlimited access as well as unlimited guest privileges. I've only been to the gym twice since I signed up, but both times (in the evening), the gym has been almost to capacity. However, despite the fact that it is almost impossible to find an open treadmill, many patrons don't seem to be there to workout — most of them are obese, and the majority of the treadmills seem to run on the minimum speed settings — .5 mph — not fast enough for anyone to even break a sweat. I was pondering this yesterday during my jog, and it occurred to me that it is entirely possible that many of these people are using a gym membership (and the subsequent treadmill-television access) as a substitute for cable.

Rhymes among cheap sources of steals

I have no problem admitting the real reason why I paid close attention to the Detroit Tigers second base competition this spring. I still think Scott Sizemore can play in the majors, and I'd like to see one of fantasy's forgotten 2010 sleepers get a chance. Alas, he's on his way back to Triple-A Toledo, but the last man standing at this point isn't such a bad sleeper himself. Diminutive Will Rhymes -- maybe he's 5-foot-9 -- has apparently won the starting job and, with it, becomes a likely spot in the coveted No. 2 lineup position, so I'm certainly interested.
Perhaps you've heard by now, but second base is not at all a deep position for fantasy baseball this season, along with shortstop and third base (I think first base, outfield and even catcher, for standard leagues, is just fine), so you might actually want to take a look at someone like Rhymes. Look at his minor league numbers and they show a speedy, pesky singles hitter who always hit for average and stole enough bases to matter. And let's face it, any middle infielder hitting near .300 with 20 stolen bases does matter to us. Rhymes can and should do this.
