By the time Don Rickles clicked big as a shockingly abusive nightclub comic in the mid-'60s ''Let me make you feel at home,'' he'd say to a black patron, then break into a shuffle so brazenly bigoted the guy had to laugh he'd pretty much kissed off a side career as a character actor in movies (he was a dance-hall operator in 1960's The Rat Race) and on TV (he even did Medical Center, the E.R. of the early '70s). What, that's news to you? You uncultured hockey puck, you.
But don't sweat it if you missed Mr. Warmth's master thespian days. You can make it up to Don, because this month the Merchant of Venom, a.k.a. the Insultan, is back on theater screens: He supplies the wisecracking voice of a hot-pated Mr. Potato Head in Toy Story and plays Robert De Niro's managerial sidekick in Casino.
''I hope nobody goes in the wrong theater,'' quips Rickles, at 69 still headlining in Vegas and Atlantic City four months a year and firing punchlines like a well-oiled pitching machine. ''One movie's like skipping up the road with the Wizard of Oz. The other one's a nice, tender story about guys getting beat up with baseball bats.''
Ironically, it's in the G-rated Disney release that Rickles comes off most like his rude stand-up persona. In Martin Scorsese's magnum opus, he kept things strictly serious at least, as long as the cameras were rolling. ''You had to stay out of Don's line of vision once you finished a take,'' says Scorsese. ''Otherwise, he'd go off on you.''
Rickles says he's not aiming to amuse audiences with his Casino turn. ''I told Marty, 'If people laugh at me, I'm gonna make you shorter,''' he deadpans. ''He'll be reaching for that asthma medicine, and I won't have it ready.'' That's Rickles for you: never one to let folks breathe easy.

Wolf Prix and Helmut Swiczinsky's desire to capture a feeling or emotion regarding a project through their blind sketches raises more questions than providing answers. One can see that the sketch on the previous page is similar to the view on this page. But why? What is to determine the sketch's translation? In this case the sketch influenced, strangely enough, a view of the structure from the building across the street; a view from below is virtually impossible, merely a few pieces of structure peek over the existing parapet. The intuitive nature of the sketch is a given, but its translation as either plan, section, perspective or any other convention suggests that arbitrariness plays a great part, and their role as artists is greater than with most architects.

Swinging or M F M threesomes?
When we started swinging we were in a nudist club where their was a lot of swinging and swapping going on, when the wife went with another guy for the first time, even though I was not present her first time I had set her up with a friend that I knew she was keen on and had been flirting with for a while (he knew my feelings on it all) hoping it would happen, my wife knew she had my full permission to play if she so wanted to, remember it was her first time ever with another guy a very big step for a 35 year old Catholic woman to take.
When it did finally happen we were welcomed into a well established swinging scene with open arms and legs, Search Light and Ribald which were our local sex contact sex papers were just about our bible at the time where we also met other swingers and our swinging neighbors through (another story). After about 5 years swinging with our swinging friends from the nudist club and others we met through the sex papers we had a major personal upset with family that caused us to leave the nudist club and the swinging scene all together, it had nothing to do with sex or swinging at all. Some 5 years further on things had settled down with our family life and we started dabbling with the thought of playing around again, we were older and things had changed from the old days, rejoining the nudist club was not an option at the time because of childrens ages and other personal reasons. We started looking at Search Light and Ribald again (things had also changed health wise as far as swinging and casual sex went) all our sex was and still is bare back sex so we were wary as to what sort of people we were meeting which also put a damper on it a lot for us. We had a few total wipe outs meeting couples which was very frustrating for all concerned, and even when we did find a couple we got on OK with it never seemed to last after the initial lust had worn off where the four of us got along long term, it had us really thinking was it all worth it? Then we got talking about M F M threesomes, which we had a few of when we were swinging the first time around, I got off on seeing her going with other guys and so did she lol and I just love going silky seconds, we had some replies from single guys who had answered our ads for swingers trying their luck wanting to meet us so we went through them and picked out some guys that the wife thought she might find a turn on and we started meeting them, it was a lot easier meeting just guys I can tell you, the wife also surprised me by saying that we were just meeting for sex not a life time commitment (yes just sex not friendship) we decided that as long as she found the guy reasonably attractive and he could hold a conversation why not go ahead with it! We worked a formula out where we would arrange to meet at a local hotel, it has a nice quite area (at the time we were meeting guys) where we would meet the guy, after some small talk the wife would give me the signal if it was a go or no, they were not many nos I can tell you as we had vetted them out pretty well before arranging the meeting, and if it was a YES then we would invite him back to our place to do the deed, if it was all OK then we would invite him back again, and if we really hit it off again, and again, one guy was a regular for over three years. One funny time that comes to mind, we had arranged to meet this guy at the usual place, he was travelling some distance to meet us, just as we were ready to walk out the door our daughter who still lived at home arrived home, she had a job where she slept over through the night and did not arrive home until late morning, this night she had taken sick and had been sent home. It was too late to contact the guy (this was before mobile phones) so after making sure the daughter was OK we decided to go and meet him, explain what had happened, and if he was OK to us (and us to him) the next meeting would be at our place. We met him and after the wife had given me the nod that he was OK we explained the situation to him, he was disappointed but it could not be helped, I went off for a round of drinks and when I returned he was sitting next to my wife very close and I could see his arm was around the wife and his hand was under her top (we were lucky we had the bar to ourselves) I wondered off on some pretext to leave them alone for a couple of minutes and when I returned he had made big steps forward and my wife had her hand under the table and on his lap, when it was time to go I left the wife to say good bye to him while I got our car, by the time I arrived with the car they were just about doing it in the car park and the wife said they wanted to go some place where the three of us could be alone, I knew of a parking place not too far away so we went to it, we had a station wagon at the time and they were already going for it by the time I got the seat down, the three of us had a good session in the back of the wagon before we were disturbed by another car arriving for the same reason we were there so it was time for us to go, he became a long time lover of the wife. I gather this is not your cup of tea kind of sex but it takes all kinds! I really get off on seeing the wife going with other guys (specially the first time) and joining in, I have done all the time ever since we first started playing, and would still do today if she was still into it, the best we do now is going into a chat room where she will come on cam now and then, but I guess I cannot complain after almost 50 years being married and playing on and off for 30 of them, I know there are a lot of guys out there that wish their wife would play. |

Charts and maps were among the most basic tools for locating oneself at sea.
The Mariner's Mirrour began as a groundbreaking Dutch atlas, but Anthony Ashley's translation transformed it into an English book. The image on the title-page shows many tools of the mariner's trade, from upward-oriented celestial instruments including quadrants and astrolabes to downward-oriented lead lines that were used to measure the depth of a harbor. The English edition also places the English nation at the center of the maritime world by mentioning Sir Francis Drake. The Folger's hand-colored copy, which is currently unbound and undergoing conservation, would presumably have been intended as a lavish gift, perhaps for one of the wealthy private families who helped underwrite English navigation.

So I found some Cork Oak acorns last year and decided to plant them indoors because I'm in zone 7b and didn't think they would do well outside. I have two that germinated over a year ago and yet one is 6.5 in and the other is maybe 4 in. Is this normal? How much growth should I expect? They are indoors in Miracle Grow potting soil. I throw a Miracle Grow stick ever few months.
They are otherwise green and healthy. Its just that the trunk is extremely thin and they aren't growing very quickly. In contrast, I planted an avacado tree at the same time and it's now over 3 ft tall. It gets sun only from the window. I'm having problems finding information online so any information would be appreciated. Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sounds like it needs more sun. And probably also a deeper pot to accomodate its taproot. Keep it cold in winter - an unheated greenhouse would be fine. It'll tolerate temperatures down to around -10 to -15*C. Conversely, a heated house in winter won't be good for it. Resin |
Those types of potting soils aren't all that great for oaks. They probably keep the roots too moist. Cork oaks need pretty dry and or well drained soils that that are kept on the dry side. It needs to be outside too. Just bring it in when the weather is bad. |

i have grown acorns in straight bark .. that is how important high drainage is to the oaks i know.. so i agree your potting media is potentially problematic ... and i do NOT know this oak ... now.. it seems to me.. the only problem is your expectations .. for tree growth ... if i understand.. it went from a one inch acorn to 6.5 inches in its first season .. it its annual growth rate as a percent was 650% ... i will yell ... WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT ???? hundreds of acorns plant themselves in my sand.. and if they get 4 inches tall and 4 leaves the first year.. that is perfect.. and if they MAYBE double that the second year.. yippee ... and if they make it to 18 inches the third year.. wow ... instead of thinking of it as a tree.. and how babe trees grow .. your expectations seem to be along the lines of perennials/shrubs ... and frankly.. trees from seed simply do not grow that fast ... its alive.. its a tree.. relish your success.. and quit stressing your child for under-performing .. lol and it is a tree.. and it does need to go outdoors ... and you better start figuring out what to do with the zone inappropriate tree ... for the next 100 years ... it will not succeed with vigor indoors ... you claim z7.. and are fooling with a z9/10 [see link] .. its fun.. but where is the reality in this???? good luck ken ps: this link says: The cork tree is an evergreen, keeping its leaves in winter. The tree grows very slowly, adding less than a foot of new growth per year. The bark grows equally slowly and the first harvestable cork, known as virgin cork, is usually not taken until the tree is over 25 years old. The tree will grow in zones 9 or 10 within the United States, preferring the warm, dry climate of southern California. ===>>> and keep in mind.. the one foot per year.. is on an established tree.. not a seedling ... |

The new roman shade looks amazing. I was nervous as this was the first time I've installed and purchased a blind without professional help. It was a breeze. It only took about 20 minutes to install on the window. I have now purchased more blinds for other windows knowing how easy it was.

This was exactly what I pictured when I got it. The package arrived really quick and was easy to install.

The blind is just beautiful! It matches the tile in my kitchen perfectly. Ask for samples--they come quickly. The finished blind matched the sample, making the choice an easy one.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Herby!
Facts about Herby
- Breed: Norfolk Terrier/Westie, West Highland White Terrier Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Herby's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Herby may be small, but he has a huge heart! His kisses are gentle and sweet and he certainly loves to give them! Herby is good on a leash and loves spend time outside. Herby may have stiff back legs and limited vision, but he loves to sniff around for adventure. Cuddling is Herby's favorite, especially if you rub his back.
If you'd like to meet this dog, please fill out an adoption application at http://www.sarocks.org/adopt or visit us on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/sarocksorg.
The $85 adoption fee includes spay/neuter surgery, up-to-date vaccinations, microchip, rabies tag, heartworm test, and 1st month's flea/tick & heartworm preventative.
Adopting an animal from a foster home gives you the best option of finding a pet that matches your lifestyle and home environment, because they are in foster, our foster homes are able to give you more information on their temperament and personality.
Other Pets at San Antonio R.O.C.K.S.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Herby, a San Antonio Norfolk Terrier/Westie, West Highland White Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Norfolk Terrier/Westie, West Highland White Terrier for sale in San Antonio, or seeking a Norfolk Terrier/Westie, West Highland White Terrier dog from a breeder in San Antonio.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in San Antonio already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a San Antonio breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Norfolk Terrier/Westie, West Highland White Terrier breeders who help with Norfolk Terrier/Westie, West Highland White Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in San Antonio paves the way for another one to be saved.

Hard Formula Eyebrow Pencil is extremely tricky to use, something the counter staff at Shu Uemura's defend because they have a special sharpening/shaving technique they recommend to get this undeniably hard-textured pencil to work. We can't imagine why anyone would want to go through this trouble given the myriad brow pencils available that pose no downside.
Shu Uemura (pronounced "ooo-ee-moo-ra") has been a makeup artist for over 50 years, and is said to still be involved with his namesake company. The line is based in Japan but has an international presence; L'Oreal obtained a 35% stake in the company in 2000, and gained management control in 2004. L'Oreal's involvement with this line explains why many of the previous foundations have either been discontinued (rightly so) or retooled for the better, and undoubtedly must have something to do with the dismissal of other lackluster products and the line's expanded presence in department stores. They've done a good job giving this already-trendsetting group of products an valuable breath of fresh air while at the same time keeping several of the classic products the line has become known for. We also want to applaud the new tester units; most are sensibly labeled, and they're very accessible. Also a plus is that this line tends to draw salespeople who are adept at makeup and have a penchant for being experimental with color (which can be great for those looking to get out of a makeup rut).
We suppose the best thing we can say about Shu Uemura's skin care is that the cleansing oils (which are recommended only for dry to very dry skin) do a thorough job of removing all types of makeup. Beyond that, the unreasonable prices, dubious claims, and overall average formulas don't add up to a justifiable reason to assemble a full skin-care routine from this line. Color and brushes are where Shu Uemura excels, and their reputation in this area is well earned.
The selling point of almost all of the Shu Uemura skin-care products is deep sea water and algae, neither of which is unique to this line or essential for any skin type. Deep sea water does not have any research backing up the claims for its anti-aging benefit for skin. One study examined a species of deep sea urchin whose skin was infected with a bacteria present in the water, while another illuminated the fact that deep sea water contains pathogenic bacteria that can cause skin problems, as seen in humans who dive to such depths. So much for deep sea water being helpful.
Other published studies have demonstrated that drinking the stuff had benefits for a sampling of people with atopic eczema/dermatitis syndrome (AEDS). But drinking deep sea water isn't the same as slathering or spraying it on skin, and since this was not a comparison study, who knows if the eczematic patients involved may have had a similar response if they had been drinking green tea, or eating more omega-3 rich foods, such as salmon instead? (Sources: European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, September 2005, pages 1093–1096; and Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, February 2000, pages 193–199). In short, there is no convincing evidence that seawater, whether bottled near the shore or from leagues below, is superior water for skin.
Shu Uemura hypes water as the best source of hydration for skin, but that is also far from the truth. It takes much more than water to create healthy skin. In fact, too much water is bad for skin! Excess water actually impairs and disrupts the skin's protective outer barrier and can cause irritation, dryness, and an impaired immune response (Sources: Journal of Investigative Dermatology, December 1999, pages 960–966; and Wound Care Journal, October 2004, pages 417–425). What's in short supply in the skin-care products below are antioxidants, cell-communicating ingredients, or skin-identical ingredients, types of ingredients that are much more essential to healthy skin functioning than any kind of seawater.
For more information about Shu Uemura, owned by L'Oreal, call (888) 748-5678 or visit www.shuuemura-usa.com.
Shu Uemura Makeup
As you'll see from the reviews below, Shu Uemura does several categories exceedingly well. His powder blush and eyeshadow textures aren't in a class by themselves anymore thanks to other companies improving their formulas, but they are still amazingly smooth and a pleasure to work with. The loose powders are wonderful, too, and the latest foundations improve on their predecessors with even better shades and higher sunscreen ratings. Of course, the brushes from this line also deserve mention. Other than M.A.C. and possibly Trish McEvoy, you won't find a more extensive selection anywhere, though you'll want to keep in mind that the prices are all over the map, and mostly on the high side.
We'd ignore most of the pencils, which tend to be expensive and ordinary, as are the lipsticks. Considering L'Oreal's influence you'd think that this line would've become stronger with their mascara offerings (as L'Oreal did when it purchased Maybelline a few years ago), but that hasn't happened yet. Perhaps that improvement is yet to come.
Note: Shu Uemura is categorized as a brand that tests on animals because its products are sold in China. Although Shu Uemura does not conduct animal testing for its products sold elsewhere, the Chinese government requires imported cosmetics be tested on animals, so foreign companies retailing there must comply. This requirement is why some brands state that they don't test on animals "unless required by law." Animal rights organizations consider cosmetic companies retailed in China to be brands that test on animals, and so does the Paula's Choice Research Team.
I really like this pencil and find it much more convenient that using two products together, such as powder and wax or tamer, etc. I like the color called Seal, which is perfect for someone with dark brown or black hair---it isn't too harsh or gray. The consistency of the pencil blends well and does tame the brows a bit. I think the review is not accurate. Then again, brow styles change---now that fuller brows are desirable again, this pencil would be great for a thicker brows.
I've used this pencil for almost four years on a daily basis, it's not tricky to use and no funny sharing is needed. It's hard formula makes it to stay put over cream/foundation without moving at all and most importantly permits the best presition for a very clean, net brow. The formula is really long lasting.
I do NOT agree with the expert review, totally agree with other member on this pencil being exceptionally good & no special sharpeners. Realistic color (mine is seal brown) for my very dark brown hair (I have fair skin). I've used these for 20+ years and have never been tempted to stray - unlike nearly every other category of makeup! Great value as it does not glob onto your brows and sit on top of them but really does make it to the skin underneath (you need very little and it lasts forever).
Disagree completely with this "expert" review. This pencil is exceptionally easy to use, stays on much better than waxy pencils, *does not* require special sharpening. doesn't melt or smear or the face or in the kit and has more natural-looking colors than I've found anywhere else. Because the pencil is hard, one *can* sharpen it with a knife to create multiple surfaces, if desired; I use a regular dollar store sharpener. Did the "expert" even try it? Very badly informed, misleading review!

Teacher Convicted in Scheme to Fraudulently Receive Social Security, Medicaid and Housing Benefits
Fraudulently Received Over $180,000 in Federal Benefits
Baltimore, Maryland - A federal jury convicted Beverly J. Beard, age 53, of Middle River, Maryland, for social security fraud and false statements in connection with a scheme by which Beard received over $180,000 in supplemental security income (SSI), Medicaid and federal housing benefits while working full time as a teacher, announced United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein.
According to trial testimony, in 1969 and 1970, Beard obtained two separate social security numbers. In March 1993, the Social Security Administration (SSA) found Beard eligible for SSI payments based on her claim that she was disabled due to varicose veins in her leg. The disability payments were retroactive to the date of her application in May, 1991. Beard also received Medicaid benefits beginning in 1998 as a result of her eligibility as a SSI recipient. From 1985 until January, 2007, Beard also received housing assistance through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)'s Section 8 program. Beard received these various benefits and payments using one of her social security numbers.
From August 31, 1995 until June 14, 2001, Beard was employed as a full-time teacher with the Baltimore City Public Schools. From August 23, 2001 until at least June of 2007, Beard was employed as a full-time teacher with the Baltimore County Public Schools. Beard used her other social security number for her employment and her bank accounts in order to conceal her income and employment status from SSA, HUD and the Department of Health and Human Services. Beard falsely reported to HUD and SSA that she had no employment, wages or bank accounts in order to receive more than $180,000 in benefits that she otherwise would not have been entitled to receive.
Beard faces a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison for making false statements and five years in prison for social security fraud. U.S. District Judge Catherine C. Blake scheduled sentencing for May 29, 2009 at 2:00 p.m.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein thanked the Social Security Administration, Office of Inspector General, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Office of Inspector General and the Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General for their investigative work. Mr. Rosenstein commended Assistant United States Attorneys Kathleen O. Gavin, and Sujit Raman who are prosecuting the case.

More health insurers line up for 2015 Illinois exchange
Eight insurance companies are seeking approval to sell 504 health plans next year on the Illinois health insurance exchange, a noteworthy increase from 2014, the state said Thursday.
The surge in interest in the Illinois exchange allays widespread concerns that carriers would find the prospect of offering coverage under the Affordable Care Act too risky and unprofitable because of sicker-than-expected pools of patients, causing them to walk away.
The state did not say which carriers submitted plans, which include 306 policies for individuals and 198 for small groups.
"The significant increase in the number of carriers and the number of plans they are offering represents good news for Illinois health care consumers," said Jennifer Koehler, executive director of Get Covered Illinois, the state's health care expansion enrollment arm. "It means consumers will have even more good options to choose from next year."
In the inaugural sign-up period, just six insurers offered 165 policies in Illinois — 120 individual plans and 45 for small groups. That was far below the state's initial projections that at least 250 policies would be offered.
In total, eight companies will offer plans under 10 so-called issuers, compared with six companies that sold plans under eight brand names earlier this year.
Notably absent in Illinois in the first sign-up period was the state's second-largest insurer, UnitedHealthcare, which opted to sit out amid uncertainty in the market. The company confirmed Thursday that it plans to offer policies through the marketplace in 2015.
"This is a first step that will help inform our final participation decision, and we look forward to continuing our conversations throughout the approval process," said Kevin Shermach, a United spokesman.
The Illinois exchange, an online marketplace where consumers can compare and buy private health plans, is hosted at HealthCare.gov. It is a key pillar of the Affordable Care Act, the landmark 2010 health law that expanded coverage to millions of Americans, including about 566,000 Illinoisans, this year.
Through April 19, just more than 217,000 gained private coverage offered through the exchange, a market dominated by the state's largest insurer, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois.
Blue Cross said it enrolled about 200,000 people through the Illinois exchange in the first year, good for about 92 percent of the market. It plans to sell exchange-based plans again for 2015.
Its dominance left little for other carriers, including the startup Land of Lincoln Health, a co-op nonprofit funded in part with a $160 million federal loan that was able to sign up about 3,500 customers in its first year.
Land of Lincoln has said it plans to participate again in 2015. As will Health Alliance, the Urbana, Ill.-based insurer that offered plans throughout the state in 2014 outside the Chicago area.
Aetna Inc. and its subsidiary, Coventry Health Care, both participated in 2014 under separate banners. The combined company is expected to again offer plans under both brands in Illinois in 2015.
Humana Inc., the final insurer that participated this year, has not announced its decision yet, but a spokeswoman said previously the Louisville, Ky.-based company has "no plans to reduce our footprint."
The Illinois Department of Insurance will review each plan and send its recommendations to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services by Aug. 8 for certification. Open enrollment for 2015 coverage, begins Nov. 15 and continues through Feb. 15. Carriers have the option of withdrawing plans or exiting the market before the start of open enrollment.
The addition of UnitedHealthcare alone should increase competition in the market, according to a recent study released by the National Bureau of Economic Research.
The study, issued as a working paper, estimated that monthly premiums for the silver plans in 34 states, including Illinois, would have been 5.4 percent lower, on average, had United participated in the federally run marketplaces. It also found that health insurance premiums, on average, are "responsive to competition." The silver plans were one step above the lowest-priced bronze plans.
Whether the increased competition holds in check monthly premiums remains an unknown, though additional market participants should help moderate increases, said Caroline Pearson at Avalere Health, a Washington-based consulting firm that has closely followed the rollout of the law.
"While premiums will vary dramatically across carriers and states, we expect average exchange premiums to increase slightly in 2015 as a result of patient demographics and medical inflation," Pearson said. But for consumers, she said, "more choice and competition is generally a good thing."
A separate survey conducted by the consulting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers' Health Research Institute found that many insurance executives opted for a more conservative approach in 2014, holding back expansion plans until Obamacare's second year.
"We expect the exchange landscape in 2015 to include more insurers offering more plans in more states," said Ceci Connolly, the institute's managing director. "This is a growth opportunity for many companies."

Snagged me a Star Trek movie teaser poster #2 from the "free preview stuff" shelf at work. Between the "STAR" and the "TREK" is a line, "Stardate 12.25.08." The new movie will be called simply, "Star Trek," supposedly a prequel set before or early into the Original Series five year mission. Latest news is that […]
The Wrath of Crusher
I really, really love that TVSquad got Wil Wheaton to do their Star Trek: The Next Generation retro episode recaps. Wil, in case you didn't know, portrayed the character of Wesley Crusher through the first few seasons of ST:TNG, filling the widely disliked role of "Token Boy Genius" aboard Captain Picard's starship Enterprise-D. (This appears […]
Jan 2006 NJ/NYC Trip
It was foggy up in New Jersey and New York over the long weekend. Amy and I hung out with her family, and ventured twice up to NYC, one day to browse galleries at Chelsea, and another to have a half-price lunch at Sushi Park with newlyweds Raffy and Carla (who very kindly lent us […]
Photo Retrospective: Wessels
(Set1294_01, uploaded by brownpau.) They are not nuclear wessels, but wessels nonetheless. Taken June 2004 with a very fuzzy-lensed Zire 71. Update: I added this photo to the Flickr Star Trek Group Pool, but the admin removed it. Bunch of humorless Vulcans.
Gamma Hydra Section Ten
Saying the Bible tells Jews and Christians to kill homosexuals is like saying that Star Trek II is all about Captain Saavik's failed attempt to rescue the Kobayashi Maru from the Klingon Neutral Zone.
Scotty Gets Beamed Up
James Doohan has passed away. Doohan played Enterprise's Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott on Star Trek, and was my original inspiration for learning to mimic Scottish accents. Bit of trivia: Doohan was a captain in the Royal Canadian Artillery, and fought in the invasion of Normandy in WWII, where three bullets destroyed the middle finger of […]

Browsing through the "startrek" tag on Flickr, one finds all sorts of fascinating fan photos, model setups, and acquisitions. Take a look: Space Battles. Gallery of Star Trek (ahem) Ladies. 35mm Film Clips. Scotty Gets his Star. [Crossposted to Metafilter.]

Review of scrimmage film has CU's Embree impressed with freshmen
Posted By Tom Kensler On August 16, 2011 @ 7:32 am In College Sports,Football,Pac-12,University of Colorado | No Comments
BOULDER — Video tape of Saturday's scrimmage has been reviewed, analyzed and dissected by Colorado coaches. Here's what head coach Jon Embree had to say:
"Early on, offensively, we'd have one guy break down here or there," Embree said. "After seeing that, it was disappointing.
"But it was nothing we can't fix. It was good for them to be in that environment, that pressure — getting them to think and react. That explained why we started slow. We have to start fast. We have to create our own momentum. We've learned how to do that a little bit, but we're not where we want to be."
As far as personnel, Embree said he didn't want to mention names. "I think I know who our corners are going to be, if they finish like that," he said. "I'm not going to say anything now, but I think that cleared up that. I think it helped with some guys at the back end of the safety position that can help us. And I thought a couple of the young 'backers played really well.
"We have to see how guys on the special teams can help us. That cleared up. A couple of the (young) receivers started distinguishing themselves."
As for who Embree was referring to, it was no secret among those watching the scrimmage that the young players who played well included freshman cornerback Greg Henderson, freshman safeties Kyle Washington and Will Harlos, freshman linebacker Brady Daigh and freshman receivers Tyler McCulloch and Nelson Spruce.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Rick Falsetta
"Thick and rich tomato sauce. I like to cook pork from raw in this recipe."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

Save money at local stores when ingredients are on sale!
Watch video tips and tricks
1 (46 fluid ounce) can tomato juice
2 (29 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
2 tablespoons white sugar, or more to taste
1 tablespoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
As is, a pretty basic marinara sauce. I followed the recipe except to add 1/4 couple of dried minced onion. The sauce cooked on low all day (at least 10 hours) and did not get thick. It fit the bill for what I needed for dinner as we were having meat filled ravioli. I am going to freeze the remainder and will probably tweak it when I reuse it.

'Dogs Head to Nevada for Wednesday's Game
Jan. 21, 2014
Game #18 Jan. 22, 2014 6:30 p.m. PT
Fresno State (11-6, 5-1 MW) at Nevada (7-9, 2-3 MW)
OPENING TIP The 'Dogs are the only team in the Mountain West to have picked up three road wins in league play. Fresno State has defeated Air Force on the road, won at UNLV to hand the Rebels their only defeat in MW play and beat New Mexico on the road last Saturday in arguably the toughest arena to play at in the conference. Fresno State sports the league's top defense, as it only allows 62.4 points per game and forces 17.8 turnovers. Then offensively, Fresno State also leads the league in 3-point shooting and has hit a MW-best 137 3-pointers. Three Bulldogs are scoring in double figures this season with point guard Taylor Thompson leading the way with 13.1 points per game, 4.9 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game. She also has 37 steals on the season, which is the second-most by any player in the league. Forward Alex Sheedy is second on the team in scoring at 12.6 points per game and guard Bree Farley is third at 11.4. Both players scored 16 points in Saturday's win at New Mexico, each putting in 14 in the second half to help the Bulldogs close out the win. Farley is the league's top 3-point shooter, as she is connecting on 45 percent of her shots from downtown and is tied for the team lead with 27 made 3-pointers. Her 49.3 overall field goal percentage is the fourth-best in the Mountain West.
The Bulldogs will be seeking their ninth-straight in Reno over Nevada on Wednesday and are 14-7 all-time when playing at Nevada. Bulldog Headlines ► Fresno State leads the all-time series with Nevada 34-9. The Bulldogs had won 13-straight overall in the series until the Wolf Pack defeated the Bulldogs in Fresno on Feb. 20, 2013 in the last game in the series. ► In two games last week Alex Sheedy averaged 18.5 points and 4.0 rebounds while shooting 60.9 percent from the field. In Mountain West play, she is averaging 16.0 points per game, which is tied for the fourth-highest average in the league. ► After its first four Mountain West games were all decide by nine points or more, Fresno State's last two games have been decided by a total of three points. The Bulldogs fell 70-69 to San Diego State on Wednesday of last week and won 75-73 at New Mexico on Saturday. Scouting Nevada (7-9, 2-3 MW) Series History with Nevada This-N-That |

I am continually being told that I should open my own bakery/restaurant, but being in the kitchen is my hobby. It is what I do to relax that and reading any mystery I can get my hand on. I particularly love the mysteries that have food as a character. I have a 11-year-old son, who loves to be in the kitchen with me. He wants to help me with everything. His favorite thing to do is to crack eggs for me when I need them in a recipe. He can crack them with one hand [of course I have to double check them for egg shells: )] and he tells me that he wants to be a chef when he grows (or sometimes a dentist and I have no idea where that came from). He and my husband are the two great love of my life. Followed closely by books and food. My husband loves to tease me about the fact that I never follow a recipe exactly. I always wind up tweaking it in some way to make it uniquely my own.
I pretty much love all foods, but I'm famous for my cheesecakes and my English toffee.

Ronwrote a review of Volkl Nunataq Ski on February 19, 2013
Light and they rip!
Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Ok so light is relative. I'm comparing to my Mantra's which have mounted up with Hammerheads while these are mounted with AXL's. Typical Volkyl style they are bomb proof and capable of almost anything their heavier metal top sheeted brethren are. I mounted these with Quiver Killer binding inserts which I highly recommend for a non metal top sheet. The wood core on these are hollowed out to save weight so binding mounting might be unreliable with just screws especially for Tele which exerts a lot more pressure on the toe piece.
I've skied them in blower Teton pow and Northwest crud and groomers.. While they are not as light as much of the Voile lineup that my buddies ski, I think these are more versatile.

Sac state (CSUS) nursing spring 2013 - page 32
Hey, is anyone applying to sac state for spring 2012? Do you think it will be easier to get into since they won't accept any non-sacstate students? What do u think the cut off will be? Sorry for... Read More

"Again, welcome to the nursing
program. As per my earlier message, you will have quizzes due starting the
second day of classes. All quizzes due by Feb. 9th will be available starting
Jan. 21st in case you would like to get them done early. All quizzes are timed
& allow 2 attempts, questions are delivered one at a time & you will NOT
be able to go back/revisit to questions. Quizzes can be found in the "Weekly
Content" area on the left side of the page; they should also show in your "To
do" list...../Dr.Last edit by Esme12 on Jan 17, '13 : Reason: TOS?no staff names or initialsEsme12 likes this. -
0Jan 9, '13 by dreambig2015Does anyone from the past semester or anyone else have a suggestion about how to organize binders/notebooks. Usually during pre-nursing I had a binder and a notebook for each individual class, but I am not sure if that will work for nursing since all the classes somehow collaborate. Also, has anyone here used an uncalendar?
0Jan 10, '13 by crebsQuote from jb1979I have the ebooks and I like it just fine, but I've also worked with ebooks before and I think they fit me pretty well. I have no organizational ideas, but I bet we'll get a ton of tips at orientation.Has anyone who already got the Ebooks using pageburst played around with it at all? If so, how do you like it??? Anyone got organizational ideas?? I'm in section 3 and very excited and scared!
Don't be scared. As you can see, you've got a bunch of people who are along for the ride with you. As long as we do our best to help each other out we'll all benefit. I'm looking forward to meeting you all at orientation! Join the facebook group. Look at previous posts for the info. -
0Jan 10, '13 by crebsQuote from jb1979Hep B taking 6 months to complete is different than people who are still awaiting their results because they waited until the last minute to get started. It's better to have people in the program that did better on the prerequisites and testing. So it is what it is.I think people are running into problems with immunizations. For example Hep B takes 6 months to complete the series. I know 2 of my immunizations won't be complete for a while because of having to have a complete series due to negative titers
In terms of a calendar, I think you can just use the google calendar. It's a great one. Although, I'm not sure if it works on an iphone.Last edit by Meriwhen on Feb 1, '13 -
0Jan 10, '13 by dreambig2015Quote from jb1979Calenmob pro is a good app for te iPhone.Does anyone know of a good calendaring app for iphone to organize all of our classes, assignments, clinicals, etc? The one that comes already on there doesn't have a weekly view which I feel like I would need

on January 10, 2013We've had our eyes trained overseas for the last few days, and with good reason: A lot of very stylish things are happening in London and Florence right now. But, just for a moment, let's swing our attention back stateside and take a look at Eddie Redmayne on the red carpet for the People's Choice Awards last night. He looks great. In fact, you'd do well to take a page from his book next time you need to toe the line between dressed-up and casual, because he's doing just that and better than most. Of note here: the red plaid running through that dark tan suit, and how well the pocket square complements it; the lack of a tie; the brown cap-toe shoes, scuffed just so; and the use of a shawl collar cardigan as a layering piece. That last move is something you don't see often, but after seeing how well it works here, we wouldn't be surprised if it becomes a lot more common in seasons to come.

Aligning for Advantage argues that to build and sustain corporate success, companies must synchronize business objectives and market positions with political and regulatory activism and social and environmental engagement.
How Stella Saved the Farm: A Tale About Making Innovation Happen
The story is about a farm in trouble. Bankruptcy, or the grim prospect of being acquired by a hostile competitor, threaten. The farm succeeds only if the team pulls together and innovates.
Beyond the Idea
Businesses stumble when they imagine that innovation is mostly about ideas. The reality is that ideas are only beginnings. Indeed, even a company with the world's best idea still faces a devilish challenge: it must build the business of tomorrow without endangering the business of today. Vijay Govindarajan and Chris Trimble are the world's leading authorities on the successful management of innovation. In Beyond the Idea, they distill more than a decade of research and insight into a practical, accessible, read-at-one-sitting handbook that offers invaluable guidance for anyone charged with making innovation happen: executives, managers, consultants, project leaders and teams.
Reverse Innovation
No longer will innovations travel the globe in only one direction, from developed to developing nations. They will also flow in reverse.
Strategic Capitalism: The New Economic Strategy for Winning the Capitalist Cold War
The United States and its economic allies are under attack by a force unlike any they have ever faced. China and other emerging nations are competing for markets around the world using their own versions of capitalism—and, thus far, they are winning handily. In Strategic Capitalism, one of the world's leading authorities on global business strategy, Richard D'Aveni, describes how the "economic cold war" began, how it is being played out now, and how the West can change the course of events in its favor.
The Wide Lens: A New Strategy for Innovation
How can great companies do everything right—identify real customer needs, deliver excellent innovations, beat their competitors to market—and still fail? In The Wide Lens, innovation expert Ron Adner draws on over a decade of research and field testing to reveal the hidden structure of success in a world of interdependence.
