"I ordered these to put in with my Save the Dates so that people can start booking hotel rooms and receive other information about our wedding. They customized it to add "hotel accommodations" after "for more wedding details" and before "and registry information." We also customized it to add a line below the website for our website's password, and even made it in 2 different fonts ("PASSWORD" in the same font as the "for more wedding details" font, and "our password" in the same font as the wedding website but in a size smaller and not in caps). They worked all the sizing/spacing out and it ended up looking amazing!!!"
"I ordered these cards and actually used them in conjunction with magnet announcements as save the dates. I was able to completely customize the lettering (I changed 'Details' to the date of my reception) and they turned out fantastic! The whole design is gorgeous and will go perfect with our vintage chic theme"
"I needed a small enclosure card for my bridal shower and these were perfect! A fun and cute way to add a little bit more info for an affordable price!!"
"Ordered this card as accompaniment to seaglass Tea Poppies bridal shower invitations. I needed to add additional information such as registry, wishing well and invite to male family members to a get together during the shower. This little card fit the bill and is perfect. I added bride and grooms initials to the back; nice touch in a lovely script."
"These cards were lovely and came in very handy for communicating a small bit of information. For example, we used them to indicate the rain date and location. They are quite small though and may not be appropriate for larger amounts of information, so pay attention to the size when ordering."

Gartner adds weight to Cloud debates 13 Jul 2010Posted by Tony Law in Cloud, Consumerization, Impact of IT, Insight services, Managing IT.
1 comment so far
With several announcements, Gartner has launched a new heavyweight forum to tackle the major issues that surface as enterprises look to Cloud solutions.
Whenever Cloud adoption is discussed in an enterprise setting there are a string of issues which surface. These include security (for both static and in-transit data); service levels (most consumer-style cloud services such as Amazon's or Google's offer no guarantees though they may give credits); and compliance aspects (location, privacy, and enforcement of disclosure). Many of these go back to one over-riding principle: you can't outsource responsibility.
But as the benefits of cloud services, financially and in flexibility, have become compelling two things have happened. Enterprises have realised they have to take cloud seriously, seeing it as extending the range of services which can be outsourced. And the global supply companies – the IBMs, the Oracles, the HPs – have begun to take a hand either with new services or by re-marketing existing ones. Microsoft too has undergone another of its rapid and thorough strategic switches, with BPOS, Live and so on. The SLA-challenged services from the original incumbents such as Amazon Web Services and Google Apps are not now the only options.
So Cloud achieves perhaps the ultimate accolade: a special focus from Gartner. Gartner have announced a Global IT Council for Cloud Services. This is the second IT Council; the first tackles IT Maintenance. As Gartner explain it: they "gathered leading CIOs from around the world to define the rights that enterprises should expect when they consume IT maintenance or negotiate cloud computing deals". They see the Councils as "a new approach to solving some of the most deep-seated technology challenges facing enterprises, with the aim of changing the way the IT industry works". Not a small agenda, then.
It will be interesting to see how the Councils develop. There's plenty in Gartner's track record to suggest they will be well worth while for members: the name may be new, but the idea of bringing together senior practitioners to share experience and develop ideas is not. There will be interaction between senior analysts (Daryl Plummer and David Capuccio, in this case) and clients. There will be a gateway to established and, perhaps, purpose-written research. There will be visibility at Symposium, and a stream of communications including the blogs.
For Cloud, the first headlined report is entitled Rights and Responsibilities for Consumers of Cloud Computing Services. This report, based on a CIO-level meeting, defines what it says on the tin. Rights include:
1. The right to retain ownership, use and control of one's own data: this deals with audit and certification in data management, discovery issues, location and transit of data
2. The right to service-level agreements that address liabilities, remediation and business outcome: this includes access to information about the service (e.g. to assess risks) and outlaws unilateral changes to terms and condition
3. The right to notification and choice about changes that affect the service consumer's business processes: including notification of planned outages and changes, estimates of whole-business restore times, and support for change of supplier
4. The right to understand the technical limitations or requirements of the service up front: related to capacity, pricing, limits of liability
5. The right to understand the legal requirements of jurisdictions in which the provider operates: location specification, restrictions, legal disclosure and other compliance issues
6. The right to know what security processes the provider follows: standards, audit, incidents
They identify one mutual responsibility:
7. The responsibility to understand and to adhere to software license requirements, e.g. affecting virtual servers, transferability, indemnity
Cloud users: catch up quickly! At present Gartner hold much of this information free of charge. And finally: thanks to my colleague Chris Woodhouse who spotted this before I did!

Gartner's AMR: Supply Chain conference makes it to Europe 5 Jul 2010Posted by Tony Law in Insight services, ITasITis.
add a comment
As Gartner continues to integrate AMR Research into its way of doing things, there's a positve benefit for Supply Chain executives in Europe. AMR's Supply Chain Executive Conference is being launched in EMEA and the first European event will take place in London in September.
Worthy of note: the event will be chaired by Kevin O'Marah, now a Gartner GVP and billed as AMR Chief Strategy Officer. And although most of the listed speakers are recognised AMR names, from within what is now Gartner's Supply Chain research group, there is one speaker (Tim Payne) who is a Research Director from the legacy Gartner Enterprise Business Applications and ERP group. From his bio, he appears to be the only European-based analyst in the list and is shown as "support[ing] Gartner's European clients on all aspects of supply chain management".
AMR/Supply Chain clients in EMEA: take advantage of the presence of these analysts in London and get your one-on-ones booked! Also, use the opportunity to emphasise to Gartner that if they are serious about supporting clients in Europe they need to expand their permanent and effective AMR presence to include some locally based analysts. This flying visit, hopefully, is only a start!
The announcement on Gartner's website also includes a short video of Kevin O'Marah discussing this year's AMR Supply Chain Top 25.

Passover Apple Cake
This wonderful Passover recipe is courtesy of Arthur Schwartz and can be found in his book, "Jewish Home Cooking." You can substitute your own spices in this recipe, if you'd like.
- Yield: Makes one 8-inch square cake
Source: The Martha Stewart Show, April Spring 2008
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
- 3/4 teaspoon mace
- 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 3 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil, plus more for baking dish
- 3/4 cup matzo cake meal
- 5 medium apples, such as Golden Delicious or Crispin, peeled, cored, halved, and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices (about 5 cups)
- 1/3 cup raisins (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees with a rack set in the center. Lightly spray an 8-inch-square glass baking dish with cooking spray; set aside.
Mix together walnuts, 3/4 cup sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, mace, and ginger in a medium bowl; set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk, beat eggs on medium speed until well combined. Beat in remaining 3/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, until mixture is thick and foamy. With the mixer running, slowly pour in oil. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Stir in matzo cake meal.
Pour half of the batter into prepared cake pan. Sprinkle over half of the walnut mixture, half of the apples, and raisins. Pour over remaining batter and top with remaining apples; sprinkle over remaining walnut mixture.
Transfer cake to oven and bake until the sides of the cake pull away from the baking dish very slightly and topping begins to caramelize, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove cake from oven and let stand for several hours until completely cool, before cutting. Keep cake covered tightly with plastic wrap for up to 2 days, as the flavor improves with age.

choklitgirl and @Traci4: Did y'all make this and did you really use 6 eggs, 3/4 cup oil and 1-1/2 cups cake meal? I need exact directions for recipes. I am not the best baker. Thanks so much for your help and any tips. It sounds yummy so I would like to try it.Reply
choklitgirl 27 Mar, 2014
@Traci4: Are you saying you used 6 eggs, 3/4 cup oil and 1-1/2 cups cake meal?Reply
Traci4 30 Mar, 2013
I agree with Tanya. Just made this and the batter definitely needs to be doubled. I doubled only the eggs and matza cake meal and oil amounts and left the sugar the same as originally called for. I substituted brown sugar for the topping blend as well.Reply
koltov 29 Mar, 2013
tanya1972: Not sure if you'll see this, but you recommend 3 cups of sugar and 1-1/2 cups of the matzoh cake meal?
I'm hesitant to make this and spend the time only to have the recipe come up short on the batter. :-)Reply
tanya1972 24 Mar, 2013
I made the cake today and remembered something from last year. The cake batter part of the recipe (the eggs. sugar, oil and matzah meal) quantity is WAY too little for this cake. I actually think there must have been a mistake. You literally need to double the quantities in this recipe in order to have enough cake batter to do two layers.Reply
tanya1972 23 Mar, 2013
I made this cake for Pesach last year and it was fantastic - a big hit at the Seder! I am definitely making it again this year.Reply
abusybee4u 22 Apr, 2011
Love this recipe! Definely will add this to the Passover rotation. I left out the mace, ginger, and raisins. Also I only needed 3 apples instead of the 5. I used a granny smith, golden delicious and a fuji. This smelled great and was a big hit.Reply
RozyRP 27 Apr, 2008
Very easy to make. My family loved it. They ate it before it had a chance to cool completely. I made my own matzo cake meal b/c I couldn't get any. I ground the matzo in a spice grinder till it was fine and powdery. Worked well in the recipe.Reply
mauipoppins 20 Apr, 2008
It was a Passover hit at my house!!! It was so good, I am making it next week for a brunch that I am having! Thanks for making my Passover a wonderful hit!!Reply
Yorkie7 20 Apr, 2008
Cake was a hit! Had a nice flavor and very genoise-y cake texture. I used a 1/4 cup less sugar on the topping. Lots of apples made it!Reply
Yorkie7 18 Apr, 2008
I made this today. It looks great!! The recipe on Martha's show though, watching the segment had 3/4 tsp. ground allspice and 3/4 tsp. ground cardamon in Mr. Schwartz's version but combo of these would do.Reply
Anyway, will let you know how it tastes!!

The fun of new recipes is the character of the ingredients. Use the Matzo cake meal. You can use it and store the remainder it in a well sealed container. That's what makes it different and delicious.Reply
Killercute 17 Apr, 2008
It says in the initial ingredients that it is 3/4 Cup of matzo cake meal.Reply
audree 17 Apr, 2008
I love this recipe and wonder if you can only make it at passover time. What can I substitute for the matzo cake meal if not available in my area?Reply
CanCookKaren 17 Apr, 2008
I've not used cake meal before and I'm wondering when the recipe says 3/4 matzo cake meal does that mean 3/4 cup??Reply

kind of a pain to install, few spots (wheel well and hose adaptor) need to be bent a little bit to get lined up right. but im not sure if thats the nature of the part or my car since it had been rear ended 4cyl car at one time. but once you get that in place and the factory shipping bend in the line straightend out it goes right in place. i didnt use the factory clamps so i cant comment on if they fit well with them. took me about 45 minutes or so to get the line installed

I was aiming to get the effect of a dye without having to drive to the craft store to purchase it. So, I improvised and thought that paint would add soft color, while the water would help it absorb into the rope vs. harden on the outside of the rope. It seemed to work great! The rope did not harden, which was exactly what I was hoping for.

Hoffman Lends A Most Wanted Man Gravity
By Alan Scherstuhl
For a while, at least, a pitch-black (and therefore pitch-perfect) tale of our times: Four business partners masquerading as a happy family move into seven-figure suburbia and sell their friends and neighbors — which is to say, contacts and customers — on their early-adopter, newer-than-brand-new layaway lifestyle. David Duchovny, Demi Moore, Amber Heard, and Ben Hollingsworth are the client-sponsored grifters; they bait their prey with the latest and greatest gadgets and flash-frozen sushi rolls fresh off the assembly line. But, sadly, the audience is conned most of all. What plays hard and dark for the film's first half goes squishy and blindingly bright as calamity and then outright tragedy lead to the saw-it-coming resolution writer/director Derrick Borte thinks is more sincere than it actually plays. Duchovny is alternately (and suitably) confident and befuddled as the ex-car salesman newly hired to play "Dad." Moore, as boss of the crew, out to make numbers and not friends, is as icy as the Pomtinis she's pushing on commission. And the "kids," one closeted gay and one slutty, aren't dopes. But for whatever reason, the movie goes soft: Business turns to pleasure turns to hurt, and the moral to the story becomes the story. Shrug. Still, there's Gary Cole as the next-door neighbor who buys the sales pitch he can't afford. That's recommendation enough.

In the spring time I was working on building up my credit to get the best possible interest rate on a new home My wife and I are going to buy. On April 15th my TransUnion score was 672 my TransUnion score has increased to 692 as of 9/25!!! I achieved this only by reducing my credit balances to below 10%. I still have alot more work to do as I would like to be over 700 at the time I start the mortgage on my home. Thanks for the tips everyone.
Congrats on the increased score! I'm hoping to be in the upper 600s by the end of the year (and 720 by April of next year).
Keep up the good work.

If oil is black gold, is uranium the new gold? It's a question worth asking, even as gold soars into record high territory. It closed Friday at $588.40 an ounce.
Gold is the traditional precious metal hedge against governmental mismanagement of paper currency. But you can't use gold to keep you warm in the winter or keep you cool in the summer. It won't keep the engines of industry running, and it won't provide the electricity to keep your computer humming. For that, we need energy -- an ever-increasing amount of energy, as the citizens of the world demand the basics of modern life.
It's all that demand, plus the potential scarcity of fossil fuels, that the world must now consider. No one knows when the world will "run out" of oil or what modern techniques might yet be invented to squeeze it out of shale or drill more deeply into the earth's core. Or what the environmental impact of burning all that fuel might be on our atmosphere.
But since much of the known oil reserves are concentrated in politically and militarily unstable countries, it seems wise to consider Plan B: nuclear energy.
The reality of demand
Forget for the moment the politics of nuclear energy, and the emotional fears of disaster, and consider the reality of energy demands. One man has been on the forefront of writing about this issue since the turn of this century. James Dines has labeled himself "The Original Uranium Bug." It's a takeoff on his reputation as "The Original Goldbug," for which he was known starting in the 1960s, when gold was trading at $32 an ounce.
Since Dines began writing about uranium and recommending uranium stocks to readers of his newsletter (www.dinesletter. com), the price of uranium has soared to $41 a pound from $7.10, up more than 400 percent. Dines says this is only the start of the move. In a section of his annual forecast issue, he writes about "The Coming Great Switch to Uranium."
Writes Dines: "Nuclear energy produces zero greenhouse gases, largely comes from deposits in politically stable and friendly countries (Canada, Australia, America), there is enough uranium for a billion years using breeder reactors, soaring prices for fossil fuels have left nuclear power increasingly cheap on a relative basis, and nuclear power could be used to split ordinary water into its components -- oxygen and hydrogen -- to power fuel cells for cars for everybody in the world."
Dines acknowledges that there is a problem with radioactive waste, and only half-jokingly suggests we blast it into space on a rocket. But he figures we'll come to some solution, noting: "Either that gets solved or we shiver in the dark, so coming generations will have to solve that problem somehow."
In the meantime, Dines has led his subscribers (including this writer) into investments in a variety of companies that either mine uranium or are involved in building reactors worldwide. He points out that the United States now gets one-fifth of its electric power from its 103 commercial reactors.
France gets 78 percent of its power from nuclear, followed by countries such as Lithuania, Slovakia and Belgium, each of which gets nearly two-thirds of its power (though a far smaller amount) from nuclear. And the growth in demand for nuclear fuel is coming from unexpected places, such as Bulgaria, which has announced it will build its seventh nuclear reactor and export energy to Greece, Turkey and other neighbors.
China is at the bottom of the chart of nuclear power generators, just beginning to build reactors. But, Dines notes, "China is all over Australia, trying to lock up its uranium, just as securely as the Europeans grabbed the world's oil in the 20th century."
Who's got the uranium
Where will all this uranium come from? From mining companies in the United States, Canada and Australia. And, along with the price of uranium itself, the stocks in those companies have already soared, with Dines' proprietary index of uranium stock prices up 1,112 percent in the past few years. Dines considers this just the beginning, and recommends a diversified portfolio of uranium stocks.
Those stocks might be wildly speculative, but the markets are waking up to the issue of energy independence that will dominate our future. And I write this column to give James Dines some well-deserved credit for his far-sighted investment advice, once again. That's The Savage Truth.

Famous Dominican Selection 4000 Reviews
Showing 1 through 10 of 125 reviewsFamous Dominican Selection 4000 Churchill
"Good for the price"Famous Dominican Selection 4000 Churchill
Kept them in a nice humidor. Decent taste and draw for a value cigar. No problems keeping mine lit.Garth in Maryland September 3, 2014
"Not very good"Famous Dominican Selection 4000 Churchill
These cigars are terrible. They dont stay lit and some of them have very bad draw. I ve bought cheap cigars that have been wonderful but these are not one of them. You get what you paid for with these.Rick in Sterling August 31, 2014
"you will need 400 lighters to keep these burning"Famous Dominican Selection 4000 Toro
nasty, taste like dish soapRick in Sterling August 31, 2014 August 3, 2014
"way better then the price indicates"Famous Dominican Selection 4000 Torpedo
I have been smoking the Dominican 4000 s for years now and saw a bad review that I just can t agree with. Granted, I ve had a couple that were a little loose, but most in every bundle are well made. The taste is sweet and pleasant,and for less than 2 bucks a stick, I can throw away the few that aren t perfect, without breaking the bank. I like the toro and churchill both.Big Dog Louie in New Orleans July 22, 2014
"Yuk!"Famous Dominican Selection 4000 Torpedo
Don t know if I got a bad bundle, but they were toxic tasting and strong, not mild, threw them out.Greg in Wood River, IL June 17, 2014
"great cigar for the money"Famous Dominican Selection 4000 Robusto
For an every day cigar, working outdoors, I think it's the best cigar you're going to get for the price.Tony Masraff in Houston, Texas May 7, 2014
"Yuck!"Famous Dominican Selection 4000 Churchill
These tasted like burning cardboard dipped in wax. I suffered through half the bundle and gave up trying to like them. I trashed the rest.Chuck in North bergen April 2, 2014
"Very Decent Cigar"Famous Dominican Selection 4000 Robusto
I have read other reviews that really slam this cigar but I'll have to say that I've had much worse cigars than this with much heftier price tags on them! I've been buying these for a few years now and I'll admit that the first bundle I received was not that great as far as construction was concerned. The cigars would unravel and split very easily and seemed to be extremely dry but that was three or four years ago and there has definitely been major improvements made! Before I found these I was a Punch and La Gloria Cubana smoker but at half the price, I can get the Famous 4000s and not really miss the expensive ones that much at all! Give them a try, you won't regret it!William Elkins in Kyle, TX February 10, 2014
"Harsh!"Famous Dominican Selection 4000 Robusto
I purchased two bundles and the first one I lit turned hard and black within the first half-inch of burn- something you wouldn't expect except at the end of some cigars. It was totally the worst, I am going to ask for a refund as I have 29 cigars I can't smoke.Greg in Wood River, IL January 19, 2014
"Not bad for a cheap cigar :"Next
1 of 10 was bad..., but it s a really good cigar for that price!Vasil in CA November 25, 2013

Alongside gigging, I also began teaching guitar, ear training, and music theory when I turned 18 and have been teaching full time ever since.

dextera3I like my hair this length!
I'm not ready to get it cut yet, I like it the way it is right now. :) 7 years ago
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.

My husband and I are Dodger Fans and were we happened to be sitting there were loads of Dodger fans. I was appauled at the seccurity staff at their uncalled for behavior. There was a large group of young adults who had all come together. They were not drinking or cussing but only teasing each other on who was the better team. Seccurity was on them like white on rice and kept telling them not to shout or stand. Come on your at a Baseball game. Seccurety didn't seem to stop the Angel fans from yelling or getting up. My husband and I thought this was so wronge. We left early.

About the Ticket Supplier: Angels BaseballThe Angels were founded by former actor Gene Autry in 1961 and played their first five seasons in Los Angeles. After the 1965 season the club moved to Anaheim and began playing in their new stadium.
In 1972 the Angels acquired right-handed pitcher Nolan Ryan from the New York Mets. In his eight seasons with the team, Ryan led the league in strikeouts seven times and in shutouts twice; he also threw four of his all-time-record seven no-hitters.
California won its first division title in 1979 under manager Jim Fregosi, a former Angels shortstop. Don Baylor, who led the league in runs batted in (RBIs) and runs scored that year, became the first designated hitter to be named the AL most valuable player (MVP).
Superstar outfielder and designated hitter Reggie Jackson joined the Angels in 1982 and led the league in home runs to power California to its second division championship.
Manager Gene Mauch guided the team to a 93-69 win-loss record before the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Angels in the AL Championship Series.
Mauch retired in 1983 but returned as manager two years later. In 1986 he directed the Angels to their third division crown with a team that featured veterans Jackson, third baseman Doug DeCinces, pitcher Don Sutton, and rookie first baseman Wally Joyner. The Angels again lost the AL Championship Series, this time to the Boston Red Sox.
The Angels came close to a division title in 1995, ending the season in a first-place tie with the Seattle Mariners, but they lost in a one-game playoff.
Their four decade long quest was finally realized when the Angels won the World Series in 2002, with a team led by former Dodgers catcher Mike Scioscia.

Latham Introduces Bipartisan Government Improvement Bill
This week, Congressman Tom Latham's efforts to craft legislation aimed at making the government more efficient was introduced in the US House of Representatives. This bipartisan measure - H.R. 5064, The Lean and Responsive Government Act, takes continuous process improvement measures successfully employed by state governments and small businesses across the country, and requires them to be adopted within the federal government.
Specifically, the bill calls for agencies to implement continuous process improvement methods, which are steps that require agencies to set clear, measurable goals, analytically evaluate overly bureaucratic systems, and reduce Washington red-tape in a sustainable manner.
Once federal departments and agencies universally implement these methods, it will result in improved performance and a better utilization of American tax dollars. Embracing this approach empowers departments and agencies to take innovative steps to reduce waste in their organizations and apply those resources to other priorities without requiring additional funds.
"Washington has long needed measures that force government agencies to operate in an efficient and effective manner. My Lean and Responsive Government Act builds on the government reform efforts established by Congressman Henry Cuellar's Government Performance and Results Modernization Act of 2010, and ties continuous process improvement to the annual Congressional budgetary requests for each federal agency. Many state governments, small and large businesses, and organizations take process improvement seriously, and it is time to for federal agencies to do the same," said Latham.
"I am pleased to join Congressman Tom Latham as an original co-sponsor of the Lean & Responsive Government Act," said Congressman Cuellar. "This legislation builds off of the Government Performance and Results Modernization Act, which I authored in 2010 to raise the standard of government efficiency and accountability. Today's bill further raises the standard that taxpayers expect of the federal government and I will continue working with my colleagues in Congress to ensure a responsive and effective government."
Currently, this legislation has been sent to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

Snapshot: Anglophenia 2014 in Photos
It was quite a snaptastic year in Anglophenia-land, British celebs mastered the selfie, the Royals had some fun with photobombing, […]Read Now
"Simon Amstell: Do Nothing," is the first special from a stand-out British comedian Simon Amstell, who is unusual among stand-ups; sensitive, vulnerable, yet bitingly funny and peculiarly wise. His recent acclaimed residency in New York played to sell-out audiences, and The New York Times compared him to "a young Woody Allen." This live comedy special, recorded in 2010 at Vicar Street, Dublin, captures Simon at his intimate, painfully honest best. Pin point timing... highly literate and charming... an endearing mixture of offhand candor and sharp wit. "Simon Amstell: Do Nothing" premieres Saturday, October 6, 11/10c as part of the Ministry of Laughs.
Simon Amstell is a British comedian, writer and actor whose dark humor and acerbic wit have made him a household name in the UK.
Simon's recent run of performances of his new stand-up show Numb was a sell-out at New York's Theater 80, following a successful UK tour and appearances at the Edinburgh Festival, and the Sydney and Melbourne Comedy Festivals. Numb has been recorded as an intimate live special for future broadcast by the BBC.
Simon currently lives in North London. He was born and raised in Essex, and began performing stand-up in his teens, going on to become the youngest ever finalist of the BBC New Comedy Awards.

Assessment of Caries Experience in 12-year-old Adolescents in Piracicaba, Sao Paulo, Brazil
Pardi, Vanessa / Kopycka-Kedzierawski, Dorota T. / Billings, Ronald J. / Pereira, Stela M�rcia / Meneghim, Marcelo de Castro / Pereira, Antonio Carlos
Purpose: The aim of the present study was to analyse the association between socioeconomic and behavioural factors and the presence of active non-cavitated caries lesions in 12-year-old adolescents in Piracicaba, S�o Paulo, Brazil. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in 1001, 12-year-old adolescents who were selected by the cluster sampling method. A modified version of the World Health Organization criteria for identifying lesions including white lesions (WL) in enamel was used. Information on behavioural and socioeconomic factors was obtained using a semi-structured questionnaire. The outcome variables were DMFS, DMFS+WL and WL. The data obtained were analysed using the chi-square test and a logistic regression model. Results: The mean DMFS was 1.87 (SD = 3.05) and DMFS+WL was 2.27 (SD = 3.66). The logistic regression model showed that income was statistically significantly associated with DMFS, DMFS+WL and WL, whereas educational level of the father, number of residents in the house and number of dental visits were associated with DMFS and DMFS+WL. The onset of toothbrushing was associated with WL. Conclusions: The present study showed that economic factors are associated with all stages of caries development. In addition to these factors, family size, number of dental visits, educational level of the father and onset of toothbrushing could be considered markers of dental health risk.
Keywords: behaviour, non-cavitated caries, oral epidemiology, socioeconomic conditions

Is this blog a recent project?
The easy answer is yes.
Incidentally, I remember how I wrote every review except my first, but even my first review was from a memorable movie experience. I stumbled upon two family members in the theater, and I was with one of my friends! Kinda neat.
But anyway, it all feels like yesterday, is my point. You could also say I've been doing this blog for forever, because I've gone through over seven-hundred movies and countless ideas in the two and a half years of its existence.
What's your favorite movie?
Pulp Fiction is a very special film for me, especially when, despite my mindset that rejects watching films I've already reviewed, I could watch it any day. I've watched it with friends and convinced friends to watch it just so I know I'm not the only one who thinks it's such a wonderful movie. It's funny and thrilling, which is personally what I'm a sucker for in movies. It's also very, very quotable.
I know you didn't ask, but I reject the belief that Citizen Kane is the greatest American movie ever made. It's a classic, and I do love it, but my personal vote is The Birth of a Nation. If you can sit through three hours of a silent that is 99 years old, and still horrifying enough that you may never want to see it again, it's worth being pulled into.
How many hits does your blog have?
For those curious, there's a hit counter on the sidebar.
How did your blog come about?
I always credit it with my involvement in websites such as Flixster and Everyone's a Critic, where there's no restrictions as to who can rate and write about movies. The turning point, when a general pen-to-paper hobby transformed into a passion and a blog, was when I took a class at a writing camp specifically for writing reviews. Now that was exciting.
Who's your favorite director?
Currently, I'd go with Woody Allen and Quentin Tarantino, though their movies are as much about writing as they are creativity, so they'd be favorite writer-directors. If we're talking just directors, it's the same two people I would choose when my love for film was started, and the two that gave birth to that love: Alfred Hitchcock and Steven Spielberg.
How often do you review the movies you watch?
Since I started the blog, I've reviewed 99.6% of the movies I've watched. I've taken a pass on reviewing three movies in the past: Child's Play, Iron Man, and The Longest Day.
Have you seen every film from any directors?
Yes. Quentin Tarantino, Christopher Nolan, Baz Luhrmann, Darren Aronofsky, and Martin Scorsese. I'd finished everything by Wes Anderson at one point, and now that The Grand Budapest Hotel has been released, I need to see that in order to have seen his entire filmography. I've also seen everything by James Cameron, save for Piranha Part Two: The Spawning, which I think I may have recently (finally!) found a copy of.
