The Denny's that opens Friday in the Financial District will offer a $300 version of its popular Grand Slam wake-up — complete with a bottle of 2004 Dom Perignon Premier Cru Champagne. The breakfast fit for a king is called the "Grand Cru Slam" — but besides the vino, it's the standard morning eye-opener of eggs, pancakes, sausage and bacon. "It's not an astronomical price for Dom Perignon," says Mike Capoferri, who was hired by Denny's to create a "craft cocktail" menu at its first Manhattan location. Yes, the FiDi version of "America's diner" will also have specialty cocktails that start at $11. The bottle of the good stuff at Denny's is a bargain compared to top restaurants in the area, which charge more than $400 for the bottle. [NYDN]
Get Ready To Hear "I'll Have My Assistant Make A Reservation At Denny's" A Lot More Often
By Bess LevinOn a typical day, most of you probably obtain your lunch in one of several ways: ordering it on Seamless, out at a working lunch, or ferreting around the office pantry for a melange of snacks. A good day might involve getting your 11th Chop't salad for free. If creativity and need to feel alive struck, you'd possibly think about sneaking into the executive dining room and swipe a couple of dinner rolls. But would you ever purchase a business class ticket out of JFK (or whatever your local airport may be), gorge yourself on free delicacies in the lounge, and then reschedule your flight so you could do it all again the next day, and the day after that? You might not, but this genius did: Read more »

Go Pitch Your Money Management Skills Elsewhere, Warren Buffett Is All Stocked Up Here
By Bess Levin…Although Warren Buffett hired the hedge fund manager who won the last two private lunches with him that are part of an annual auction, he doesn't expect the event to become a recruiting tool for Berkshire Hathaway. Rather, Buffett says it's miraculous that he found one of Berkshire's two new investment managers through the lunch. He offered Ted Weschler a job after he'd paid nearly $5.3 million over two years to dine with Buffett. "We're perfectly situated now in respect to money managers," Buffett told the Associated Press. Besides Weschler, Buffett has also hired Todd Combs to eventually oversee the company's investments when the 81-year-old Buffett is gone as part of Berkshire's succession planning. [AP]

History of the Medal of Honor - On August 7, 1782, General George Washington began the first official method for awarding the nation's fighting men who have shown memorable, individual acts of bravery. A purple cloth heart was awarded for "any singularly meritorious action." Only three persons have received this award: Sergeant Elijah Churchill, Sergeant William Brown, and Sergeant Daniel Bissel Jr.
- This award seemed to have been forgotten until 1932, when General Douglas MacArthur, who at the time was the Army Chief of Staff, pushed for it to be brought back. On February 22, 1932, what we now recognize as the Purple Heart was formally reinstituted. At first, it was only awarded to the Army. However in 1943, this honor was meant to include the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard as well. Ultimately, all services were included.
- After the Revolutionary War, there was not much use of the Badge of Military Merit. However, the thought to honor individual bravery continued through the early 1800's. Following the start of the Mexican-American War in 1847, a "certificate of merit" was instituted for soldiers who differentiated themselves in combat. There was no medal awarded with this honor though, and after the war, it was withdrawn. This meant that there was no longer an award to honor the men who fought for our country.
- Towards the beginning of the Civil War, there was a suggestion for such an award. However, General-in-Chief of the Army, Winfield Scott declined this proposal.
- President Abraham Lincoln signed into law, terms for a Navy medal of honor on December 21, 1861. The medal was "to be bestowed upon such petty officers, seamen, landsmen, and Marines as shall most distinguish themselves by their gallantry and other seamanlike qualities during the present war."
- This idea was soon set up on behalf of the Army as well. It was signed into law on July 12, 1862, and was meant to be awarded "to such noncommissioned officers and privates as shall most distinguish themselves by their gallantry in action, and other soldier like qualities, during the present insurrection."
- While it was originally generated for the Civil War, Congress made the Medal of Honor an everlasting award in 1863. Approximately 3,400 men and one woman have been honored with this award since that time.

Washington, DC - In response to the massacre of 10 volunteer medical workers for the International Assistance Mission in Badakshan Province in Afghanistan, Dr. Rajiv Shah, Administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development, has issued the following statement:
"In the wake of this outrage our hearts go out to the victims' loved ones and colleagues. It is also a profound loss for the many people, Afghan and others, who face danger daily while working toward a better future for Afghanistan.
"This grim incident underscores the importance of a continued commitment to improving Afghanistan's future. Even as we grieve for the lives lost, we cannot waver in our resolve. The stakes are too high, as this latest atrocity illustrates all too clearly."

5 NBA Rookies You Need To Know
Anthony Bennett, Cleveland Cavaliers
The fifth No.1 pick in Cavalier history is in a unique spot. He has the pressures of being the number one pick in any professional draft (being the most productive rookie, making the team better, etc.), yet he doesn't have to be the best player on the team like so many others who've shaken commissioner Stern's hand before any of his draft-mates. Kyrie Irving is the unquestioned leader of the team, Andrew Bynum has championship experience, Dion Waiters is becoming the scorer we thought he would and fellow Canuck Tristan Thompson has turned into a solid power forward. So where does that leave AB? With tons of room to grow. He's been unfairly hit hard by the media after struggling for a week, but while other rookies got to experience summer league, Bennett was nursing an injury and is now getting a crash course in NBA play to catch up. Once he does, expect the boy with big man body to show up for the Cavs. They'll be better for it.

I've used this for years and will probably continue to do so. The fact that it's a pencil makes it incredibly easy to apply and shape. It stays all day long, and the the colour I use (soft brown) is perfectly ashy for my light brown hair.
One of these usually lasts me about 3 months. It probably depends how much you apply each day. If you're into big strong eyebrows, you might want something more cost effective! That said I find it quite affordable for a job well done.

I got Clinique's superfine liner for brows in Auburn when I got red highlights and wanted my brows to match with my new hair hue.
This shade is a nice warm auburn shade that compliments my Asian NC30/C3 skin tone. (you'd think it wouldn't be a problem finding a brow pencil in a reddish tone but it was)
I like that the tip is very fine (much like MAC's brow pencils) and makes it much easier to fill in the brows with small strokes. The formula is slightly waxy but not greasy and I use an old mascara wand to brush the pencil through my brows. I also add some extra colour (MISSHA brow pencil in brown) so my brows aren't too reddish.
I also love that I don't need to sharpen this pencil as it's a twist up.
Thank you Clinique for making this shade. I can keep continuing to have red highlights.
EDIT to add:
There isn't a lot of product because I've finished the pencil in a relatively short time. That's not surprising given that I've been using this every day but it doesn't justify the cost. I think I've found a less expensive alternative with NYX Brown brow pencil.

Got this in #2 Soft Brown, And to my a bit light brown hair, this fits perfectly. And when I apply it on my brows, you can't see the difference between where it's painted and where it's like.. my real brow. Even in daylight it looks fantastic! It melts in so perfectly, this is definitely a HG product! x

I use this eyebrow pencil everyday. But I do find it can look too harsh and unnatural if you don't apply it correctly. When the pencil is coming to an end the product breaks off a lot which wastes it and also you can never see when it is going to run out! I always have to keep a spare incase it runs out when I've only done one brow!

I never run out of this! I won't go out without it on... I had always had thick, nicely arched brows until I got thyroid issues--then my brows thinned and I seemed to lose the last 1/3 of them.
I buy this in the 'soft brown' shade. I have medium dark brown hair (with some grey in it now) and this color is perfect. The fine tip is precise and it applies easily, it always looks very natural. It is pricey--but worth it. I had tried cheaper brands, Maybelline being one, and could never find the right shade or consistency that I wanted.
Use light, quick strokes to apply, and I use a Clinique brow brush to lightly blend in.
Great product!

Age: 36-43 Skin: Combination, Olive Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Fine Eyes: Brown
I over-plucked my eyebrows in my teens and they were never that thick to begin with. This baby gives me my brows back and the black/brown shade is perfect for my very dark brows. The fact that the pencil is so thin means my brows look very natural. It is expensive but I can't find anything else that works so well so I shouldn't complain too much. But I'm getting fed up of the fact it's so fragile and I'm always losing bits off the tip if I apply the slightest amount of pressure. I've been using it on and off for years but I'm now fed up of retractable brow pencils and their expensive, wasteful ways.

I used this one in black brown for my eyebrows (I am Asian with black eyebrow hairs). It didn't have any red undertone and did its job fine as a brow pencil.
My main gripe is that there is so little product for the price. I even told the Clinique sales associate at Boots that I wasn't sure about paying this much for the brows if there is little product. She just gave me a judgey look and told me to just use finer and very short strokes. However, even after doing that, I used mine up in 2.5 months.
Even though I liked this pencil, I do not want to spend $15-20 every other month on eyebrow pencils, mainly because I have found other drugstore brands (Maybelline define a brow, in particular, which has exact same applicator) that last just as long and work as well, but at a much lower price.

After using this brow pencil for awhile I found this was a higher priced version, yet more mediocre version of Maybelline's eyebrow pencil. I had both in hand and Clinique's went reddish on me so ended up being a bigger fail.
For comparison: Clinique put me in soft brown which definitely had a reddish tinge. Maybelline I had blonde which was a neutral taupe. Me an LLL NC 25 with brown hair.
Both pencils were about equivalent size, hardness, and tip size. I even compared them brow to brow. And they applied about the same. Maybelline was just cheaper and for the size appropriately so. Lasting power was the same between products surprisingly.
I actually preferred the neutralness of the Maybelline one if I had to choose one.

The results of this year's Campbell County elections are proof positive that locals are thirsty for change.
Today (Thursday) is election day in Campbell County — and oh, what a political season it's been for the staff of the LaFollette Press.

When District 3 Campbell County Commissioner James Wendell Bailey was arrested for DUI recently, the arrest report created more questions than answers.
A loyal LaFollette Press reader came into my office Friday and told me that gossip is one of the biggest threats to our community.
He's certainly right.
Last week, a LaFollette Press reporter received a complaint from Jellico's first lady, Doris Stiers, about its news coverage of the beleaguered town.

361 Burton to Eaton
Cablegram 289 CANBERRA, 20 October 1947, 5.40 p.m.
Your E.22. [1]
Must stress again that it is essential you keep us fully and immediately informed at every stage. You should at once send us your part of the Joint Report; if too long to telegraph in full at least cable summary of main points.
2. Your telegram fully confirms our impression that United States and Belgium are using delaying tactics, and we feel compelled to raise matter again in Security Council. Since majority of Commission appears to be opposed to delay, you should endeavour to obtain submission to Security Council of information so far gained as a first report. See no reason why conclusions of American military observers could not be submitted later as supplement to first report.
3. Desirable you should remain at Batavia during this vital period, to watch and report day-to-day developments and do everything practicable to urge Consular Commission to complete its report. [2] Submission of information to Security Council as suggested in your paragraph 6(a), without endorsement of Consular Commission, would seem unprofitable at this stage and scarcely likely to impress Council. If it becomes desirable at later stage for you to return to Australia for brief consultation, I shall endeavour to meet your personal wishes in regard calling at Dili.
In any case we will keep in mind need for early visit to Dili.

I remember, when I first moved to New York City and had just convinced myself I was a hardcore East Coaster, I used to despise Los Angeles. I didn't like to drive, and I thought the locals had skin that was too dark and teeth that were too bright. But, my goodness, how have things have changed in the past ten or so years! Now I found Southern California utterly seductive. Maybe that's because I'm older and have begun to miss the luxuries I took for granted when I was growing up in Missouri, like access to green grass and even driving (which I've actually grown to miss, even if I'm a parking ticket magnet). I'm just coming off one of the most wonderful West Coast excursions, which started with a birthday party for the lovely Samantha Traina, and included trips to the beach, dinners with West Coast expats, and even a little birthday party for myself. Something that has definitely made that town more enjoyable for me has been that I have actual friends there now; women like Rosetta Getty, who was my hostess for the mostest, and Jacxqui Getty, who threw me the sweetest birthday dinner. I didn't want to leave. But at least took some pictures to remember it all.

From northern Italian sophistication to authentic street tacos—and just about everything in between—these restaurants are the very best of the Front Range dining scene. Make your reservation today.
No. 16: Trillium (New to the list)
With Trillium, Scandinavia's suddenly in-vogue cuisine lands in Denver. But it's not all lox, horseradish, and pickled herring. At this Ballpark restaurant, chef-owner Ryan Leinonen puts his spin on the stark cuisine by warming it up, softening the edges, and at times incorporating updated versions of his Finnish grandmother's recipes. What arise are splendid, comforting eats that are vastly different from other dishes around town. Sure, there's pork, steak, and duck (all served with refined sides), but the bulk of the menu centers on cold-water fish such as steelhead trout and whitefish. This is a refreshing shift from the ubiquitous seared scallop and pan-roasted halibut dishes on other menus. Although somewhat sparse, the space is generous enough for a girls' night out, a raucous birthday party, or a quiet dinner for two. /2134 Larimer St., 303-379-9759, trilliumdenver.com
No. 17: Pizzeria Locale (New to the list)
Before burgers and tacos were the hot trends, it was pizza—specifically Neapolitan-style pizza. Translation: thin-crusted, charred in a wood-fired oven, and topped with pristine ingredients such as San Marzano tomatoes and cured meats. The best example of this Napoli-inspired dish is found in Boulder at the ever-busy Pizzeria Locale. Owned by the same team as Frasca Food and Wine (number 1, page 60) next door, it's no surprise that every detail is attended to: The pizzas—don't miss the diavola with basil and salame—are fired in a hand-built, Italian-imported Stefano Ferrara oven (the only one in Colorado). The meats are sliced paper-thin on a prized VDF slicer (the first to be imported to North America). The final result is a cut-it-yourself circle of chewy dough, crispy crust, and tomatoey warmth. /1730 Pearl St., Boulder, 303-442-3003, pizzerialocale.com
No. 18: TAG Restaurant (New to the list)
TAG, Troy Guard's Larimer Square restaurant, suits the historic street's in-the-now spirit. Walk inside the long, skinny space and notice the decibel level: It's loud and boisterous in a way that swoops you up into a pleasing swirl of energy. This translates to the servers, too—they hustle to and fro, taking orders, answering questions, and ferrying cocktails and plates. Lean on them to decipher the menu (and then lean on them again when you're ready for the check; this process is always more arduous than it should be). The multicultural dishes, which pull from Guard's upbringing in Hawaii, his stints in Asia, and his home in Colorado, almost always contain some unheard-of ingredient and clever sauce. As incongruous as this approach might seem, Guard cooks clearheaded, powerful dishes. The Szechuan pork's toasted Israeli couscous and zucchini come ringed with a sweet and fiery dragon sauce that adds savoriness and depth to most anything it touches. Likewise, entrées such as heady goat enchiladas draped in guajillo chile sauce and grounded with crunchy slaw push diners out of their comfort zones. For the best experience, reserve a table on the main floor. /1441 Larimer St., 303-996-9985, tag-restaurant.com
No. 19: Potager Restaurant & Wine Bar (9)
It's the top of the menu coupled with Potager's timeless space (that bucolic patio!) and attentive service that keep this restaurant firmly on this list. Although Potager opened in 1997, the Capitol Hill spot still feels fresh and relevant. It also has the rare ability to appeal to both the special-occasion crowd and the spontaneous neighborhood diner. That sense of community is apparent the moment you walk through the door. Perhaps it's the urban space that balances concrete with wood and glass. Or maybe it's chef and co-owner Teri Rippeto's farm-to-table approach that she began adhering to long before the concept was a trend. I greatly appreciate the simplicity and the philosophy of letting ingredients speak for themselves. The entrées, however, need a little more finessing, and often seasoning. I suggest ordering a couple of appetizers (all of which are generously portioned), a glass of wine, and finishing with the legendary chocolate pudding. /1109 Ogden St., 303-832-5788, potagerrestaurant.com
No. 20: Fuel Café (13)
Bob Blair's Fuel Café is an oasis on the edge of downtown. The four-year-old eatery, which anchors the TAXI district, has become a destination for those tired of the mainstream. Judging by the packed house during brunch, lunch, and dinner, scores of diners are looking to escape the day-to-day and enjoy the simple pleasure of good food. Service is friendly, if distracted, but the low-key atmosphere explains it away as the desire not to interfere. Some entrées need a tad more attention before arriving at the table: herb spaetzle under a terrific pork chop was more crunch than dumpling, and a Spanish-style fish stew required more heat and body. But there are moments of brilliance in the charred rainbow carrot salad with quinoa or a skirt steak with avocado-peanut salsa and roasted corn. These are dishes that nourish and please, all while encouraging you to share a bite across the table. /3455 Ringsby Court, 303-996-6988, fuelcafedenver.com

WHOA! Hold it a minute!!!! Is that holes in the bottom I see, and what are those plants on the fence? I've been sitting on the fence about veggie gardening, but never thought of the veggies doing it! When I saw your 2liter set up, I thought, why not milk jugs? I like the idea of 4 put together, but won't they be too close to each other? Just askin', I have no clue about veggie gardening....And I have never seen fence shelf gardening done!!!! That's what I love about this forum, always things "Outside The Box"!! |
The 4 milk gallon upside down pots are a first for me but for cherry tomatoes it seems to be working good so far but will see how it does if it works good ill do more and the herbs on fence are dill and parsley in smaller milk jugs and selfwatering too 2 year on doing them I know they work good .I put them on fence to keep all cats off them .Lettuce also works good in small milk jugs . Angie |
Wonderful!! The cherry tomatoes should do well. I love the herbs on the fence!! If I had sun in my yard, that is what I would do. TFS TTFN---Sheri |

Wow, Angie, those are great ideas. Your dill looks amazing for so late in the year. Those boots are too cute. I know I saw your post on the characters from plastic bottles, I'll have to look it up. Can't remember if you did the boots then, but I'd love to see how you did that. Your passies on your user page are impressive too. What a great garden you have! |
Very creative, love your characters on the fence also!The cherry tomato idea looks interesting. I just stuck my bell pepper in the ground-bought 1 plant & put it in a small mesh chickenwire basket thing so gopher doesn't come & eat it up. Next day found big pile of dirt in middle of my onions so "they are back". I put sticks & rocks all around plants & chickenwire over peas so crows don't eat tops off. Too many critters,now I know why FG had a completely enclosed garden even chickenwire over the top like a big 20x15 room & you had to open the door to go in. Only way to get perfect produce around here without using chemicals & traps,ugh.When tomatoes & strawberries get fruits I cover the plants with net like can-cans were made of. Birds don't get them. Like your ideas, might be able to get some to work for my yard. TFS Jan |

Angie, I love your gallon container ideas. I have grown upside down tomatoes (sweet 100 my favorite) and am not sure if I could do one gallon containers. Too hot here and I forget to water sometimes. My hubby put a ledge on the front of our deck and I grow most of my veggie garden there. I hate weeds and love to grow veggies and herbs in containers. I am going to try your wick idea and see if that helps my watering problems. Wish I could paint like you. I might just try since I have your templates. Thanks. Enjoy the season. Have A Great Day! |
Thank all ya made my day I love to garden so glad we dont get gophers here I have very small space here so I do all I can with pots I did make the boots out of clorox wipe containers only thing id do is make them selfwatering for peppers .And GreenSyzq2 easy to paint these just use a sharpy black pen to line everything its fun for grankids too .I sure hope my milk jugs make cherry tomatoes if they work ill probly paint a cow and the milkjugs the utters hehehe I so love the black and white cows .Or something neat for now I just want to make sure it will work and hold up to Texas heat .Here is the boot pics they great for peppers .

"Note to self" is an offline, community-based-approach campaign promoting positive mental health among young people.
Inspiring messages
The campaign asks people take a moment to reflect and write inspiring messages to themselves; which they will then receive at a later date. The postcards are sent back to them at a time when they will see an increase in pressure in their lives, generally around the end of term or exam time.
For the "note to self" campaign, team members from ReachOut.com set up stand at a busy part of a university campus with various materials and posters promoting ReachOut.com.
How it works
A large, green branded postbox is part of the stand. An unusual sight on a college campus and so it gets attention. Students are invited to write positive notes to themselves, which can be anything they want.
If they cannot think of anything the team members are on hand to offer them advice about what to writes and also the service itself of ReachOut.com. They then post the postcards to themselves using the ReachOut.com post box.
First time
The campaign first took place in IADT Dun Laoghaire on 5 October where over 10% of the student population participated.
Up and coming
Three more "note to self" events are taking place over the next two weeks in Maynooth on18 November, DIT, Aungier Street on 22 November and UCD on 24 November.
From time to time Inspire Ireland may post some of the inspirational comments submitted online. However, names and addresses will not be disclosed.

The Coast Guard rescues one person, after their fishing boat sinks off the coast Wednesday afternoon.
The Coast Guard says it responded to a report of a fishing vessel taking on water about 30 miles southwest of Morro Bay at about 12:15 p.m. The vessel sank shortly before Coast Guard crews from both Morro Bay and Los Angeles arrived at the scene.
The one person on board was safely rescued with no injuries. Debris from the sunken vessel is now being recovered.
Investigators are not sure what cause the boat to begin taking on water.

I started braising short ribs (to be served tomorrow night) that are supposed to braise for about 3 hours. But, I'm now going to have to leave the house an hour before they're done. Can I pause the braise for a few hours and finish it later tonight or will that ruin the dish?
Absolutely - the only factor would be if the meat was still raw, but in this case it's not so you'll be fine to cook it a bit longer tomorrow/tonight. Make sure to store it safely though - either keep it just above 140F while you're out, or get it down to 40F quickly to refrigerate.

Federal agencies in the U.S. and Canada have not yet given approval to the non-browning Arctic apple, but a group of retailers in British Columbia have decided no matter what the government says they won't sell the genetically-modified apples.
The pledges from the retailers came in response to a request from the Health Action Network Society, a 30-year-old non-profit organization in Burnaby, British Columbia. The group's mission is to raise public awareness about public health issues, said Michael Volker, operations director.
"Our main concern is it hasn't been tested," Volker said May 14. "We wanted this to be a positive campaign, so we didn't publish the retailers who refused to sign (the pledge). Instead we published the stores that did sign."
Volker said of the 20 retailers, 17 are independent, one-location operations. Three are regional chains, including Choices Markets, which has seven locations.
"We have a strict policy to always source organic options first," said Tyler Romano, marketing director for Choices Markets. "We will not knowingly support the sale of genetically modified apples in any or our locations."
Damian Connolly, produce manager for Green's Organic & Natural Market in Vancouver, said the store management's rational for signing the pledge is simple.
"Our produce is 100% organic," Connolly said. "There wasn't really a question whether we would sell them. It's not in line with our mantra and our mission."
Neal Carter, president of Okanagan Specialty Fruits, Summerland, British Columbia, defends the safety and nutrition of the Arctic apple. He is petitioning the Canadian and U.S. governments for permission to plant and sell the cultivar.
"Arctic apples were developed to provide consumers a choice, and we are confident that consumers will purchase Arctic apples," Carter said May 15.
"Arctic apples will decrease waste caused by superficial browning throughout the supply chain, including in consumers' homes. Also since Arctic apples will not need anti-oxidant treatments, fresh-cut apples will be available at a lower cost making more apples available in more places."
Carter's petition to the U.S. Department of Agriculture included 163 pages and supporting research documents. Volker said his organization is concerned because Arctic apples have not been tested as animal feed. He also pointed to opposition from the British Columbia Fruit Growers Association, which has asked the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Health Canada to suspend consideration to allow propagation and sale of Arctic apples.

Wilbur's final journey
It has been a seven month journey, but this week saw the end of Wilbur 101, the pig from central Victoria that Bush Telegraph has featured as part of our exploration of ethical farming.
On Tuesday, Stuart Jonas, one half of Jonai Farms near Daylesford, Victoria, transported Wilbur 101 and six other pigs to an abattoir one hour's drive away.
He said usually the fortnightly run transports three to five pigs but because of the Christmas rush 'we have seven here today'.
'We do it in what we believe is the best way possible, causing the least stress to the animals,' he said.
'We are very careful how they are yarded and loaded into the trailer but at the moment, being small producers, or any producers of livestock, we have to take them away to an abattoir to slaughter..it is only the option we have if we are going to sell the meat.'
After Wilbur was slaughtered, he was transported to a butcher for cutting up and the carcasses returned to Jonai Farms.
The abattoir sends the offal for human consumption in Asia and the blood goes towards blood and bone fertiliser.
The Jonases hope that they will be able to get their own butcher shop certified so they can do the butchering on their farm 'making it as transparent as possible for our customers'.
Next Thursday December 19, Bush Telegraph will broadcast from Jonai Farms to discuss the issues surrounding transparent and ethical food production.
Stuart Jonas says that, even for him, it was difficult in the early stages to see the animals sent off to slaughter.
'The whole experience of raising animals and then preparing them for our ultimate consumption had its emotional challenges,' he said.
'It is something I am much more comfortable with now.'
'How we farm the the animals and treat the animals during their life, I think we do the best that we possibly can, but at the end of the day we are raising food.'

Do I understand correctly that you are going to gather next week to chat about Wilbur while you're eating him ??
Call me anything you like, but I couldn't do that.
It would be like eating a child.
In "Charlotte's Web" wasn't Wilbur the pig which survived ?
I wonder why you gave him that hopeful name when his fate was sealed from birth.
I acknowledge the care you take in raising your animals, and am not against the hunting of wild pigs.
I just could not kill and eat one that I had reared.
Logic doesn't feature here, only a deeply felt opinion. -

I have to say this is the saddest story ever put on Radio National it is actual abhorrent. How could you raise this being and follow his short life and all debate how to "ethically" murder him? You can try and justify all you like and especially his owners, but the fact is there is NO ethical murder. Slaughter is slaughter. We DO NOT need to eat meat or animal products to survive it is purely for taste and convenience and addiction. This sickens me and thousands of others. It has been quite the topic in some closed Facebook groups. NO HUMAN has the right to have another being born just to take it's life. Get a life RN

A good programmer thinks before he acts. Decisions that are insufficiently thought out are often irreversible. Therefore, we do a lot of planning before deciding which function is to be implemented in the most intelligent way before writing the first line of a new code. This means we not only consider all possible classes, objects and functions, but also identify beforehand problems that could occur. "How can I prevent exceptions?", "What are my defined In and Outputs?", and "What level does the structure have to be at in order to test it on an optimum level?". These are questions that an experienced coder needs to answer before starting. In the end, a good coder has always the sentence "Don't repeat yourself" in mind, and uses it as his guiding principle.
It is also indispensable to refer not only to the prevailing knowledge, but also to extend this data constantly. Basic knowledge must be deeply anchored in practical work and not mere theory. "What do interfaces and abstractions stand for in my performance?", "Where are the patterns and which patterns repeat themselves in the project that I am going to develop?", "Which classes, functions and modules could be used, or rather which of these are obligatory?", "How can I define interfaces effectively so that they meet the requirements within the software?", "How will I be able to connect software with its environment as well as the single layers/coats of software with single modules?" Good coders are aesthetes and thinkers. They think in order to program and they program in order to think!

STORY: Was hooked into the story right away. As a Sci-Fi fan, I like the mystery you set up right out of the gate.
CONCEPT: As stated, Im a Sci-Fi fan so the concept was a great match to my taste. Space mysteries are always fun when executed right.
CHARACTER: John was a clear lead protagonist. I feel the story jumped too quickly into the past before you could develop Boyd and Hill. All I really remember from them is them both fighting to keep John from running off. They didnt add anything of substance otherwise.
Act I: Really good opening. Has one of those classic sci-fi openings where weird things have happened or are happening in space and leave a lot of open questions. Nice small family drama for awhile, then the big loss of Alyssa was a surprise (been awhile since I read your synopsis so I was going in blind). Looking forward to seeing how this move plays into the rest of the story. I felt the stuff with Grandpa really slowed the pace down. I dont know if that was the intention. Felt like you spent too much time on drama and Im ready to get back into space. I feel the scene was meant for Grandpa to give his words of wisdom, but it ran on a little long in my opinion.
Act II: As expected, we see Alyssa on this distant planet. My concern is that shes appeared so many times in such a short period that theyve been there that shes starting to lose impact. Johns seeing her in dreams and out on this planet a couple times and they havent even really begun to explore the place yet (at least not on screen, even though John says theyve spent days doing it when hes talking to his Grandpa). I would also say this is similar to the sci-fi movie Sphere where it manifests whatever your fears or flaws are. Thats the impression I get through the dialogue anyways, so far. Also, it would be nice if after they traveled through that awesome wormhole you set up that it doesnt have such resemblance to Earth. Thats kind of what the movie Contact did at the end. But, I know you have the sky shifting colors and its also suppose to have a familiarity to it.
Not particularly keen on spending a good portion of this act in a flashback. Not because its a flashback, but this is where Id expect all the action and mystery to unfold. But Im reading about Johns past and how he became to be the man he is. So its actually going slower than Id want it to be.
Act III: This act is flooded with flashbacks, though John may be watching them in the present. Just seems like the only way youre able to move this story forward is by going back in time and having your characters relive their past. I dont hate flashbacks. I think they are best used when you want to show something again that weve already seen that was important, or show something that weve already seen but might have missed the first time around. Not really a fan of major plot points being in the past, though, such as when characters were younger. I kind of felt that John would wake up in the hospital following the car accident since this story was like a version of A Christmas Carol, like the ghost of Christmas past with all the flashbacks. But, that he actually passed away in the end added value to the story. I like the twist of adding the book that he was writing and the characters involved.
OTHER: I really enjoyed your short and clean action lines. Helped keep me flipping the pages.

A review of The Carrier (rev.)by seniormike on 08/26/2010STORY: The story was pretty good with lots of action. My type of movie. It started off with a bang. There were a lot of characters at first so it was hard to keep track of them all and their importance to the story, but this would probably come across easier as a visual on screen.

A review of Norm (Version 2)by seniormike on 07/01/2010This was a pretty fast read and a nice little good-guy prevails script. Below are notes I took as I read. My only major concern is that Norm doesnt have a clear goal that he wants to accomplish by the end of the movie. Was it to get tenure? Was it to decide whether or not to sell the necklace? Was it to gain the respect of his class? The script is mainly a series of... read

Chinese Taipei used an 11-0 run in the latter part of the second quarter to break away from a pesky Philippines and held on for an 89-85 win in the Fifth place play-off on Sunday.
There was this teetering moment of ambivalence, which could have sent the quarterfinal game between Korea and Philippines either way, when the former turned their 'A' game on in the second quarter and thenceforth romped home for a 90-77 win on Friday.
SEABA U18 Champions Philippines' 99-72 win against Bahrain in their final Group F Second Round Game not only kept them on the winning track, but also took Saudi Arabia to the quarterfinals keeping Indonesia at bay.
SEABA U18 champions Philippines played some real smart basketball in the dying moments of the game to post an 88-83 win against last edition's bronze medalists Chinese Taipei in a pivotal Group F Second Round game on Tuesday.
SEABA U18 champions Philippines repeated their triumph at the subzonal competition earlier this year beating SEABA archrivals Indonesia 88-62 in a Group F Second Round game on Monday. Philippines, who had beaten Indonesia 81-57 in the SEABA quaifeirs in Singapore in June this year simply continued from where they left off there and carved out the clinical victory.

RE: Pls help me choose granite! (Follow-Up #22)
posted by: sterlingsilver on 10.14.2009 at 10:09 am in Kitchens Forum Quote: **Sterling silver, our honey onyx is like the one in the sample without the red line through it. We're having it cut in half, into 6x12 rectangles and laying it in a brick pattern. We will have a mosaic strip of 2x2 honey onyx tiles about 2/3 of the way up. We're only doing the backsplash behind the range/under the vent hood, which is about 52" wide. I wish we could do it along the entire wall, but it's too expensive! I'll post pictures when we're all done. It will be awhile though. They are just pouring the foundation today. **
Wow, sounds fabulous! But now I've got to ask, why are you cutting down large tiles to 6 X 12 instead of using honey onyx subway tiles? Do the larger 6 x 12 tiles make the kitchen look larger (versus the 3 X 6 subway tiles) or something? And subtle red lines really do grow on you, the onyx looks so gorgeous once it's in place. You can see the crystalline structures, waves, shading, and depth to the stone that's just brilliant, very warm and rich looking. NOTES: <none>

Tsdiver's Almost Finished Kitchen w/ dumbwaiter & soapstone
posted by: tsdiver on 03.07.2009 at 02:46 pm in Kitchens Forum So, you are probably wondering who is Tsdiver, right? Well, I was around here a long time ago. As a matter of fact, the kind folks here at the Kitchen Forum helped me design our kitchen. It was quite a thread! I can't thank you all enough!
This was a whole home remodel due to a flood, so it took quite some time to complete (actually, we are still not done yet). I don't know when I will actually finish the last bits, so I might as well post it now. Unfortunately, I am also a member of the "tear down your backsplash" group. I was sick to my stomach over it, but once again, the good folks here at the Kitchen Forum, got me going in a better direction, and helped me complete a backsplash we just love! We still have a lot of little things left to do...decorate, molding pieces, etc. This kitchen is upstairs above the garage. We use the manual dumbwaiter all the time! Ok... here are the photos.

Help with Ugly Kitchen
posted by: southernstitcher on 02.28.2009 at 11:27 pm in Kitchens Forum My kitchen is very 70's. Floor is new, as is fridge and cooktop. 24" tiny wall oven is new enough.
What would you do with this? As I can't seem to post photos inside the message on this forum, I've included a link to the flickr album. There are left and right side photos as it's a galley kitchen. We can't do much else because instead of expanding the kitchen by using the adjoining dining room - we decided to keep it a dining room when we inherited lots of dining furniture that means a lot to us. We did the floors when DH was insisting he wouldn't allow me to do ANYTHING else with the kitchen. So, I have a carpenter who can rebuild or reface whichever I want. He is trying to talk me into building of course. He does beautiful work and could put a hard, furniture grade finish on them. He is suggesting that because if I have newly built, I could possibly change some of the kitchen layout to be a bit better. He suggested moving the fridge from where it is to the opposite end of the same side, and replace with countertop and cabinetry. On the other side, do the same with the pantry (you can barely see it, it's on the other side of the cooktop). The pantry would go next to the wall oven, and the the junk area next to the wall oven would go. (We're going to rip that out regardless). Again, where the pantry is would be countertop. The lack of counter space next to the cooktop really took me aback when we bought this house. He can build a new wall oven unit to accomodate the 24" now, but a 27" in the future, which is a cool thing.
I do have a decorator coming, and intend to keep a rustic, country feeling overall. So, I'm not sure how cabinets finished like the Kitchen Maids I've seen would be very rustic. I like the exposed beams and other rustic molding on the wall. DH does not want painted cabinets, which is fine. But, I'm wondering if we're stuck keeping the same shade of finish to match the other wood?

Emergency! Need backsplash ideas for Verde Butterfly Granite
posted by: skd2boys on 01.14.2009 at 08:51 pm in Kitchens Forum HI, I keep changing my mind on backsplash for our kitchen. I need to give my final decision tomorrow. I have Dover White cabinets, Verde Butterfly countertops and creamy yellow color walls. (more cream) Simply irresistable by BM. I have one choice where the backsplash is all white with different textures. The other is more cream with yellow trim around the cooktop. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

OT (sort of) What exactly is DirectBuy?
posted by: worldmom on 02.28.2009 at 09:13 pm in Kitchens Forum I see commercials for DirectBuy all the time, and I'm wondering what it is and how it works. I get that it's some sort of a discount club, but is it worth it to be a part of it for smaller remodeling projects, or does it only pay off with building entire homes or something? Anybody want to clue me in?

I think you'll have to do that with DRM and DRI. Compile your kernel with DRM, and include support for your Rage card, and then configure the X server to use DRI. Since I use an nVidia card, I've never had to do DRI configuration, so I don't know exactly how it works, but that's the basic idea, at least.

Zoos are the Wrong Place to Save Animals
Zoos continue to capture animals from the wild to put them on public display. In 2003, the San Diego Wild Animal Park and Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa, Florida, captured 11 African elephants, a species designated as threatened, from their natural habitats in Swaziland. Experts, scientists, and researchers who study elephants in the wild strongly opposed the capture, stating, "Taking elephants from the wild is not only traumatic for them, it is also detrimental to their health. ... [W]e believe the time has come to consider them as sentient beings and not as so much money on the hoof to be captured and sold and displayed for our own use."
Several zoos have already recognized that they cannot adequately provide for the complex needs of elephants, and have made the decision to close their elephant exhibits. The Detroit Zoo sent two elephants to a sanctuary because, in the words of the zoo's director, "Just as polar bears don't thrive in hot climates, Asian elephants should not live in small groups without many acres to roam. They clearly shouldn't have to suffer winters of the North." SaveWildElephants.com has more information on zoos that have closed their elephant exhibits.

As is customary in the latter part of the year, the annual Hasselblad Award prize-giving ceremony took place in Göteborg. This time it was the turn of David Goldblatt at the Göteborg City Theatre on Saturday 25 November.
David Goldblatt is probably best known for his images from the apartheid period in South Africa and the ceremony embodied the spirit of South Africa with music, flowers and colorful dress.
Bo Myhrman, Managing Director of the Hasselblad Foundation, presented the ceremony while Marta Gili, Chair of the Prize Committee talked about David Goldblatt and his work under the heading of "Photography under tension".
An interesting dialogue also took place between David Goldblatt and the ambassador of South Africa, H E Mrs Gladys Sonto Kudjoe, where some of David's images were discussed under the title of "Everyday life in South Africa, past and present".
This year the prize was presented by Lennart Nilsson, the first Hasselblad Award winner.
He even showered David Goldblatt with "gold coins" from a chest, to add to the festive feeling.

Vermeil Plating: Pronounced "vermay," vermeil is an electroplating process in which 14K gold or higher is coated over sterling silver. Officially designated by the jewelry industry, items may only be sold as vermeil if they have a minimum thickness of 100 millionths of an inch (2.5 microns) of gold over the silver. Regular gold plating is less than 2.5 microns.
The "vermeil" technique of plating sterling silver with gold originated in France in the 1750s. It differs from "gold filled" or "gold plated" in terms of the thickness or thinness of the microns over sterling silver. "Gold filled" pieces have a much thicker layer, between 15 and 45 microns, which is mechanically bonded to the base metal with heat and pressure. Vermeil is a more expensive version of "gold plated". It does not wear off as quickly as gold plating does. However, over time, vermeil wears off and therefore will require re-plating.
Gold/Platinum Embraced Silver or Bronze: Our platinum and gold embraced collections feature layers of platinum or gold over sterling silver or bronze for a lustrous, radiant finish everywhere you look and touch.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
Prasiolite is considered by some to be a true collector's gemstone due to its rarity. Relatively inexpensive, its popularity has grown in recent years with large, clean, color saturated stones as the most valuable and desirable. The color of prasiolite can vary from light yellow-green to deep green, and can look similar to peridot and tourmaline. Ranking 7.0 on the Mohs Hardness Scale, prasiolite is ideal for everyday wear. Clean the stone with warm soapy water and a soft brush while keeping it away from household chemicals. Prolonged exposure to extreme heat or sunlight may cause damage and discoloration. Store your jewelry in a fabric lined box and away from other items and gemstones to avoid scratching.
Derived from the Greek words, "prason" meaning leek, and "lithos" meaning stone, prasiolite was named for its vegetable colored stone appearance. Some believe prasiolite bridges the gap between physical and spiritual aspects of life and attracts prosperity by strengthening the mind and emotions. It is used by some as an aid for issues with the heart, digestion and even eating disorders.

President Ulysses S. Grant, on January 26, 1870, signed the act that allowed Virginia's representatives to return to the U.S. Senate and House, thus ending Reconstruction in the Commonwealth. It had been five long years since Gen. Robert E. Lee had surrendered at Appomattox Courthouse and those in Chesterfield were not exactly happy with provisions of the forced new state constitution. In fact, the political animosities came close to being carried out in a duel in Chester between competing newspapermen Robert Hughes and Col. William Cameron. But the magistrate threatened them with arrest. They actually carried out the duel the following day near the Dismal Swamp and Cameron was shot in the chest, but didn't die. He went on to serve as governor of Virginia in 1882.
FUN FACT: In 1816, there was a frost every month of the year except for August. Farmers are said in the years afterward to have raised enough food and forage to last for two years in anticipation of a recurrence.

BERHAMPUR: The sizeable Telugu population in the Odisha-Andhra Pradesh border town of Berhampur commenced their own brand of Sankranti celebrations from Saturday with spectacular rangolis, crackling bonfires and colourful cultural shows.
The first day of the festival was celebrated as 'Bhogi', while the second day was celebrated as Pongal on Sunday, known as Makar Sankranti in most other parts of the state and the country.
At several places, Odia people joined their Telugu counterparts in the celebrations. "It is the biggest annual festival of the Telugu people and they celebrate it across the country," said S Ram Kumar, president of Andhra Bhashabhivardhani Samajam (ABS).
Telugu dominated villages in and around Goplapur, Chhatrapur and Chikiti in Ganjam district also celebrated the harvest festival as Pongal on Sunday.
Girls from the community in Berhampur decorated their houses with colourful rangolis and staged cultural shows in the evening at the Sankranti Sambaraalu (Pongal celebration) event organized by the ABS. "We celebrated this festival in an organized way for the first time here," said P Satyanarayana, convener of the festival.
People donned new attire and greeted each other on the occasion. The delicious 'Pongali', prepared with newly harvested rice, dal, jaggery, dry fruits, sugar and milk, capped Pongal on a sweet note.
Monday is to be celebrated as 'Kanuma', the last day of the festivities, especially marked by washing cattle and cleaning cattle sheds. "Since very few Telugu people have cattle, Kanuma is rather low key here," said A Srinibash Rao, a youth from the community.

I think you are confused by the abstract class declaration. The fact that its members are pure virtual does not mean you can't call them. You should be able to call IAcPcDataBuffer::size() to get the number of points in the buffer each time your IAcPcPointProcessor::filter() and IAcPcPointProcessor:: processPoints() functions are called.
What I tried to do was
Acad::ErrorStatus err = acdbProcessPointCloudData(pEntity, boundingBox, 100, ptProc); IAcPcDataBuffer* buf = ptProc->buffer(); DWORD size = buf->size();
This resulted in a runtime error.
I tried what you mentioned and put in the finished() as well as the processPoints()
DWORD size = this->buffer()->size();
and was OK.
In the finished() function it was 0 size array but in every processPoints() function call there was 1 million Pts which makes sense.
This makes things a bit more clear now. The buffer is allocated and deallocated after iteration so accessing the buffer as I did (when the call has ended) is not possible as its deallocated already. What helped me understand is that in the finished() function the array was 0 size. Pretty much if I want to do anything with the points I need to keep/store them somewhere else and do that in the processPoints().
Thank you for you help !
I'm not sure why you are accessing the data in the finished() function. That function is for you to signal to the processor that you are finished processing. Also, you should never dereference the data pointer without first checking that it isn't NULL.
No reason really !
I was just trying to understand what was going on with the buffer.
Hm one more question if I may.
I actually set a proper query and I see something weird I think.
Just to confirm some things before going on here is some info for my point cloud entity from Acad
AcDbExtents boundBox; pEntity->getGeomExtents(boundBox); // min Value {x=704669.92000000004 y=5751465.0200000005 z=115.55000000000000 } // max value {x=704680.00000000000 y=5755356.0000000000 z=160.00000000000000 }
So I set as my search
// set bounding box for query AcGePoint3d ptmin(704669.0, 5755340.0, 0); AcGePoint3d ptmax(704680.0, 5755356.0, 160); const AcDbExtents boundingBox( ptmin, ptmax);
The returned buffer size was 175108 which makes sense for a converted LAS file.
When I access the points by
AcPcPointFloat* pt = this->buffer()->floatPoints();
the all are like this
0x0000000040940040 {m_x=-11470.385 m_y=1847.1350 m_z=-41.020000 ...}
This is definitely not in the extents that I am queryin for. Any idea ? Am i doing something wrong ?
It looks like you are assuming the points are in float format. Call nativeDbl() first to check the format, or call floatPoint() instead to get individual points if you want them in float format.
This time I actually had tested that
The this->buffer()->doublePoints(); was returning NULL and this is what the documentation says while also the nativeDbl is false.
Both calls to floatPoint and doublePoint return the exact same coordinates !
Did you notice the comments for the offset() and entityTransform() functions?
Mhm I did not apply that transformation ...
I just tried it though and it seems that the matrix is just identity though so no difference.
AcPcPointFloat* pt = this->buffer()->floatPoints(); AcGeMatrix3d trans; bool b = this->buffer()->entityTransform(trans); AcGePoint3d tmpDBPoint(pt->m_x,pt->m_y,pt->m_z); tmpDBPoint.transformBy(trans);
I am sure that there is no offset by the way just to rule out that one as well.
Mhm lets just forget my last statement.
Seems like the point cloud engine is doing something and there is an offset even if my insertion point is (0,0,0).
Cheers !
