Truth or Tabloid?: RPattz and Kristen Stewart "Back On"
Whoa, did your head take a quick spin as you passed the news-stand? Life & Style's cover features the sexy term "Back On" and "Twilight's Hot Hookups." A sure eye-catcher, especially under a photo of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson (arms around each other).
Well hold on, the story is a giant tease.
THE CLAIM: After a breathy cover, the story totally backs off the "Hot Hookup" claim. In fact the "Back On" and "Kristen and Rob reunite" cover language apparently only refers to the fact that shooting has begun in Vancouver for the Twilight sequel.
The closest they come to a Pattinson/Stewart relationship claim is a line "it also seems like more than mere friendship." Then there is discussion of a blushing Kristen, talking about Robert's kiss in Tokyo, and the "gigglefest" on the newly released Twilight DVD behind-the-scenes footage.
Their relationship is also referred to as "flirty."
Not much meat on them bones.
BEST BIT: As previously reported, the duo apparently performed a duet of Elton John's "Your Song" at a late-night karaoke session in Tokyo. (That song has the lyrics "I hope you don't mind that I put down in words. How wonderful life is while you're in the world.")
ANYTHING ELSE?: There is a claim that "Rob and Nikki are still flirting too." Here an insider tells the mag: "Rob and Nikki got close on the set of Twilight." Indeed, Nikki is pictured sitting "close" to Rob with a microphone in her hand.
SO WHERE'S THE HOT HOOK-UPS?: In the movie apparently.

There are a lot of forecast model sites out there with a lot of great plots. Many of the sites, however, have extremely cumbersome and difficult to use interfaces, involving cluttered tables with hundreds of links and complicated animation players. Those sites that do have nicely constructed interfaces, each have completely different layouts. Once you learn one layout and set of menus, you have to traverse a completely different layout and menu set on the next site. This is my attempt to bring some order to the chaos and provide a consistently laid out, and easy to use interface for the various forecast model sites that are out there.
Please note that I did not create these plots and do not take credit for them. I made this site to make my own chase forecasting easier and am sharing it with others in case they can get some use out of it as well. These sites have graciously allowed me to hotlink to their plots.
To use the site, pick a site and model. Select a region and run (if applicable, and select an older run if you're graphics aren't loading). Then you simply roll the mouse over the hours table to animate between the plots. Move vertically across the hours table to see all the plots for a given day. Move horizontally to see plots for the same hour on different days. Click a product to preload the images for that product for all hours. Click an hour to preload all product images for that hour.
You can click the TwisterData plots to load the forecast sounding at that location and hour just as you would on the TwisterData site.
Hopefully you find this site useful. I'll be adding a few more models, but these are basically the ones that I use for chase forecasting. Let me know if you find any bugs or would like to see another model site added. Thanks,

Affordable Dental Insurance Plans for Individuals, Families and the Self-Employed
Pennsylvania dental insurance works in much the same way that medical insurance does. For a specific monthly rate, you are entitled to certain dental benefits, usually including regular checkups, cleanings, x-rays, and certain services required to promote general dental health. Some plans will provide broader coverage than others and some will require a greater financial contribution on your part when services are rendered. Some plans may also provide coverage for certain types of oral surgery, dental implants, crowns, bridges and root canals. Dentists participating in the United Concordia network agree to perform services for patients at pre-negotiated rates and usually will submit the claim to the dental insurance company for you. In general, you'll have less paperwork and lower out-of-pocket costs with a United Concordia i dental plan.

ROUNDUP -- "I feel guilty about asking anybody to do this job," Jon Eiselein said Wednesday as he watched a dozen ag teachers and Future Farmers of America members muck out the basement of his home in Roundup.
"If I was in any kind of physical shape to do it, I'd do it myself," he said.
"Yeah, it's hard to ask for help," Ole Olsen, an ag teacher from Bridger, responded while he tried to clean Musselshell River mud from the filter of a pump that Eiselein was using to get the water out of his basement. "But sometimes we all need help."
Eiselein said he has had an amazing amount of assistance since floodwaters filled his home's basement and covered the first 3 or 4 inches of his main floor in May.
People in the Roundup community just showed up with equipment. Young men from Mormon congregations in Billings came to help, as did groups from Harvest Church in the Billings Heights. On Wednesday, it was the Roundup High School FFA and volunteers from the Montana Association of Agriculture Educators.
Eiselein had about an hour's notice that the teachers and students were on their way.
"I was completely surprised," he said.
Fifty teachers from all over the state took a break from the organization's annual meeting in Forsyth to pile onto a Melstone school bus and head to Roundup to assist flood victims.
The idea for a day of service was initiated by ag teachers in Forsyth, a group known for its emphasis on lending a helping hand. President George Simmons of Forsyth said the teachers supervise FFA chapters and one of the main focuses of the student group is community service.
Teenagers wearing black T-shirts bearing the inscription "Living to Serve" worked beside the ag teachers pulling water-logged carpet, insulation and wood from Eiselein's basement. Mud splatters covered them from head to toe as they cheerfully hauled away debris.
"Community service is a major part of our curriculum," said Park City ag teacher Kari Hanson. "We set the example and they will follow."
Although the teachers had worked on service projects through FFA, this was the first time the educators as a group have interrupted their annual meeting to take on a major project.
"We got an email about a week ago," said Melissa Mack from Winifred. "It sounded like a good idea."
The volunteers set to work with only the broadest of instructions from Eiselein, who was busy helping them find the tools needed to get the job done.
"I've been worried how I was going to get this cleaned up," he said.
The house -- built from parts of three company houses moved from Klein after the mine there closed in the 1940s -- was his wife Beverly's childhood home. The couple decided to move into it in 1995 as they prepared to retire.
"When we retired we thought we'd sell the place and buy a place up in the mountains," Eiselein said. "But I fell in love with the 30-by-40 garage. I'm a car nut."
The couple knew that they were in for a flood and moved everything they could from the basement. But the river broke the old record by two feet.
"We had no idea what was coming down the river," he said. "It came so fast. When I went out to shut the power off in the garage, the ground was dry. By the time I walked back to the house it was ankle-deep. When I went to get Bev into the pickup, we were in water up to our knees."
Neighbors helped him get one of his classic cars out of the garage, but another was lost.
The Eiseleins have been living in a local motel for about three weeks and have had numerous offers from friends to move in while their house is being repaired. He thinks it will be at least Thanksgiving before the basement will be ready for the grandchildren again.
"There are so many angels in Roundup," he said.
Eiselein said that he does have flood insurance -- a requirement set by the bank that loaned him money for an addition to the house. He said FEMA disaster officials told him he was one of just 11 homeowners who had purchased the insurance.
The teachers and teenagers made good progress emptying the basement Wednesday, as Roundup ag teacher Laura Moore scurried about finding rubber gloves and face masks.
"It's about that deep and stinking," said Kim Gallagher, ag teacher from Belgrade, pointing to the calf of her rubber boot. "It's starting to get moldy. It's probably a good thing we're doing this now instead of three days from now."
While one group of teachers was working on the Eiselein house, others were picking up pipe from a damaged irrigation system at the Kilby Butte Hutterite Colony, Moore said. Brandon Braaten, ag teacher at Melstone, who was recruited to drive the bus, said teachers were helping where they could between Roundup and Melstone.
"We selected farms and ranches we could get to," he said. "There are still a lot of places underwater or inaccessible."

We need to put together a dictionary of phrases that express our meanings without invoking god. My reason for doing this is that i don't want people to think I'm religious, so I don't want to say things like "Thank god!" or "I'll pray for you."
So I have a few, but PLEASE add your own -- maybe we can make a document or page about it. Mine are:
(Of Jewish origin) saying BCE (Before the Common Era) and CE (Common Era) instead of BC (before Christ) and AD (Anno Domini = in the year of our Lord -- he ain't MY lord, that's for sure!)
Saying "I'll keep you in my thoughts" instead of "I'll pray for you" because I won't. Even the Quaker "I'll hold you in the light" is better than promising to pray for someone. When I hear that someone is gravely ill, I say "I hope for the best possible outcome" which doesn't specify what that outcome is -- sometimes it's recovery, but sometimes, it's the deliverance of that person from their suffering.
"For goodness' sake!" instead of "For god's sake"
"By all that is in me" instead of "By god!" Because all I have to offer is what is in me and what I have to give.
"I am grateful" rather than "I am blessed" because maybe it's only the uncaring universe that I have to be grateful to, but gratitude is a very human emotion.Even "Thanks to the luck", because luck is a human, but not a deistic concept.
"Gezundheit" (which means "Health!") or just "To your health" instead of "god bless you" when someone sneezes. Or be like the Japanese and say nothing at all -- a sneeze isn't very meaningful in these modern days!
I dunno -- I may think up more, but I'd be VERY interested to see what other people come up with -- I KNOW there are a lot of fertile minds out there! :-)
Yeah, I've used those two as well, but not as often. Shouting "frack!" is just more satisfying to me than the other two. But I do like to mix it up sometimes and use frell (which hasn't caught on yet in my circle of aquaintances, but I'm working on it).
And yeah, I want Joss to continue Firefly in comic book form like he's done with Buffy. I don't think the Serenity movie or comic mini-series' did justice to the original show.
hi guys -
just to let you know, the Pete in for pete's sake is St. Peter at the pearly gates. another religious one - LOL.
": : : : : : How did the saying "For Pete's Sake" come from?
: : : : : Biblical origins. Think of St Peter. Think of the omnipresent medieval church and think of hitting your thumb with a hammer. You can't swear, else the local priests will have you up before the Bishop and the Lord alone knows what the outcome of that will be, so you exclaim, in appropriate tone of voice, "For Saint Peter's sake" and carry on erecting the shelves. This phrase was amended to "For Pete's Sake" in later, less religiously oppressive, times."
I'll often replace one religious idea with one from a nonchristian religion often to comic effect. For example, instead of "God bless you" I'll say "Kokopelli the humpbacked fertility god bless you." (If they're Christian this makes them feel strange since they seemingly just made me violate the commandment against praying to other gods, which is tantamount to them sinning and their unnecessary guilt is humor to me.). Instead of "I'll pray for you" I sometimes say something like "I'll sacrifice a child for you, that's probably what God will demand for this." This often makes people uncomfortable or at least inquisitive and I've succesfully made a common phrase awkward to the point they won't use it around me anymore...or, more likely, hang out with me anymore.
Of course the above is just for off-hand remarks. If there's been a death in the family and someone says they'll pray for me I won't say anything like that and have even been known to say "that's considerate" or "maybe buy flowers for [surviving family member] instead." Since they're only saying they'll pray because they genuinely want to help and feel powerless to do so.

text: AORN Legislative Priorities The Association for perioperative Registered Nurses (AORN), through a robust grassroots network, promotes and responds to legislative issues that affect the practice of perioperative nursing and patient safety in the surgical environment. AORN works collaboratively with health care colleagues, organizations, and decision-makers to advance patient safety in all operative settings. RN as Circulator AORN maintains that every surgical patient deserves a perioperative registered nurse for the duration of any operative or other invasive procedure and actively promotes laws and regulations to ensure the supervisory presence of the professional RN in the perioperative setting both at the state and federal levels. Preserving and Protecting the Perioperative Registered Nurse's Scope of Practice AORN will preserve and protect the perioperative nurses' scope of practice including the role of the registered nurse first assistant (RNFA) by working with the appropriate regulatory and legislative bodies on language regarding education, certification, regulation, supervision, delegated nursing functions, roles, responsibilities, competencies, and duties. AORN will monitor, evaluate, and respond to any proposed legislative initiatives by allied health care professionals that may affect perioperative nursing and patient safety in the operating room. Supporting Workplace Safety and Patient Safety Initiatives AORN will protect the health and safety of nurses in the perioperative setting by supporting legislative and regulatory initiatives that create and maintain a safe perioperative work environment that promotes safe patient care. AORN encourages legislative and regulatory efforts to establish an accountable, trusting patient safety culture that reflects individual and collective values, beliefs, behaviors and skills in the operating room. Advancing Positive Health Care Improvements AORN will actively participate in health care system improvements at the federal and state level to highlight and advance the role of the perioperative registered nurse in achieving optimal patient safety. AORN will promote standardized data collection at the point of service to substantiate improvements in patient safety and quality. AORN will collaborate with other organizations to advance positive health care improvements but will not endorse specific candidates.


text: Why not update hwy 93? 120th? in order to make the beltway connect? Is this for suburban development or transportation? I think the answer is obvious. Jeffco will just tax us with a bond to build it, then tax use to drive it, and lease it to a foreign company while destroying existing roadways like Indiana. Plus, what happens when you start digging up the rocky flats? Don't tell me it is safe...that is a flat out lie. This project is a bad idea except for developers. We can't fund our schools, but we can go even more bankrupt building non-essential roads, this is a total scam.

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 Angel!
Facts about Angel
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Orange Or Red Tabby
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Angel's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, declawed, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Angel and her sister Princess are 10 years old. They were adopted out as kittens and have now been returned because somebody moved in who was allergic to cats and so they owners gave them up. They are a bit shy until they get to know you, but then they are incredibly sweet girls. They are also front declawed. They have been tested for FIV/FELV and are up to date on all of their shots. Let's find these beauties their forever home! Please contact Patrice at 908-218-0976.
Other Pets at CAPIC, Cat Adoption and Pet Information Center
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Angel, a Raritan Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Raritan, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Raritan.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Raritan 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 Raritan 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 Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Raritan paves the way for another one to be saved.

Final Thoughts
The last time I traveled with an ultraportable machine that lacked an optical drive for business, I regretted it big time. I needed that optical drive several times to access documents given to me on the road and I was out of luck.
The best feature of the Gateway EC14D07u is the DVD drive crammed into the little machine. That is something that you just don't see in the size range the machine is in very often.
The Gateway EC14D07u also has good performance and battery life, making it a very nice option in the ultraportable crowd, especially for those needing an optical drive.

Another in our series of 2012 NBA draft profiles, comes from Devang Desai, former TBJ intern and Footy Blog contributor. Here he is, talking about Kansas' Thomas Robinson.
Thomas Robinson – PF – 6'9, 244 lbs.
In the lead up to the Final Four meeting between Kansas and Ohio State, much of the talk focused on one match up: Thomas Robinson versus Jared Sullinger. Robinson's 19-point, eight-rebound performance confirmed what many NBA talent evaluators had believed throughout the season — It wasn't close; Thomas Robinson is the real deal.
NBA superstars share something in common with their predecessors, and that's unbridled confidence. For his part, Robinson believes he should be the No. 1 pick in the draft — blasphemy to anyone who saw Anthony Davis destroy the competition during his time in Lexington. Robinson made his case to Sports Illustrated's Sam Amick at the NBA pre-draft camp in Chicago earlier this month:
"If you wanted to check the stats, then I'd be the No. 1 pick easily — if that's what you want to do," he said. "I should get one of those shirts. I'll get a shirt that says, 'Numbers don't lie.'"
The D.C native is right, technically. Robinson averaged 17.7 points, 11.9 rebounds and 0.9 blocks per game in his junior season, eclipsing Davis' numbers. With that said, it's hard to determine whether Robinson's game will translate to the NBA. For example, Draft Express has Al Horford as their best case scenario for the former Jayhawk and Reggie Evans as the worst. That's a pretty big gap.
Robinson doesn't have a go-to move offensively, instead relying on excellent instincts and a scary 7-foot-1 wingspan. It's one thing to rely on those traits in college, where the competition varies from game to game, but the chances Robinson will be able to get by on his physical tools alone in the NBA aren't high.
On the positive side, Robinson was the hardest worker in college basketball last season. His knack for hitting the glass and doing just about everything Bill Self asked will certainly intrigue NBA coaches who've dealt with the DeMarcus Cousinses and Nick Youngs of the world. The mixture of Robinson's tenacity in all facets of the game combined with his excellent physical tools makes him one of the safer bets in this year's draft. Plus, questions about whether he was big enough to play power forward in the NBA were answered recently, with Chad Ford of ESPN writing that "Robinson's measurements strongly helped his cause as an NBA 4 man."
Robinson is the most commonly pegged prospect at No. 2 to Charlotte, but he also belongs to a group (including Bradley Beal, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Harrison Barnes and Andre Drummond) that could go anywhere between Nos. 2 and 6. Don't screw this up Charlotte.

What do you think of the
ThirtyTwo Binary Boa Snowboard Boot - Women's
? Share a...
ashlie gilbert
So wonderful
- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I have had a pair of boots with the inner and outer traditional lacing system for 3 years and said I would never convert to the Boa system. I finally got sick of taking what felt like 3 years once I got to the mountain to put them on and decided to pick up a pair of Boas. I chose this pair because of the dual boa system and LOVE IT. The internal lacing system is quick, and can get extremely tight if that's how you want it, and the dual system makes it really easy to tighten the bottom "foot" part of the boot vs. the top part the boot. I found that as my day went on I wanted the bottom part of the boot looser than the top and it literally took 3 seconds to adjust. I feel like the cables on these are strong and will last a long time. These are also more on the comfortable side as far as snowboarding boots go. I feel like I have great control (having a solid boot is perhaps the most important item you can buy as a snowboarder) and am overall very impressed with these. I wear a 5.5-6.0 in most shoes, ordered a 6.0 in these and am happy with the sizing as well. If you are thinking about these, get them! I show them to everyone that comes to my house. Even skiers who don't care.

The pants are not high quality - very thin (can almost see under clothes thru it). But for the price these will make good practice pants.

Why You Should Always Hire a Master Plumber
Categories: Minneapolis Plumbing
When plumbing problems arise, the first thing you think about is how much it will cost. Tackling the job by yourself might seem like an attractive option. Having your brother-in-law bring his toolbox over might also cross your mind. But the wisest and most cost-effective decision is to hire a McAlister Mechanical master plumber.
What's so great about licensed master plumbers? Where to begin:
- Plumbing Permits. Almost all municipal health, building and safety codes require a permit and inspection process. Experienced master plumbers are trained not only to do good plumbing, but to navigate the permit system. When you hire a master plumber, you know the job will meet all legal requirements and quality standards.
- Save $$$. A "do it yourself" fix might seem cheaper in the short-term. The untrained handyman might miss larger underlying problems. You can prevent a more costly problem from occurring by hiring a trained, licensed plumber to professionally assess your plumbing.
- Quality. You often get what you pay for. A non-licensed plumber may be able to fix the immediate issue you have, but a master plumber is trained to understand your entire plumbing system. A clogged drain or low water pressure can have quick fixes or they can have quality fixes. A master plumber always delivers quality.
- Plumbers' Tools. Most plumbing jobs require specific or custom tools. Plumbing tools can be expensive and difficult to use for the untrained handyman. The price of a set of pipe wrenches, pipe cutters, drain snakes and soldering tools. Take a close look at the price of doing it yourself before you head to the hardware store.
- Licensing. Licensed plumbers are required to follow state regulations governing how plumbing work is done. They are also required to follow local safety and building codes. Master plumbers also often carry liability and worker's comp insurance. Someone who has their bases covered and who knows the local regulations will give you properly accomplished work and peace of mind.
- Save Time. The old cliché of waiting all day for the plumber is just that: old. Plumbing problems can do serious water damage to your home if not taken care of as soon as possible. You or your handyman buddy might be able to start working on your pipes right away, but how long will it take you to finish? Hiring a master plumber assures timely, professional work. And even if you are impatient for your plumber to arrive, a busy plumber is usually one in high demand. You won't regret doing it right and saving time and money in the longrun.
You rely on your plumbing every day. Your water needs to be hot, your shower needs to drain and your toilet needs to flush. The quality of your plumbing is a factor in the valuation of your home. Your home is a serious investment, and your plumbing is a part of that. Treat it accordingly by hiring a master plumber, and avoid an emergency plumbing situation that will cost you more time and money than you can spare.

"iPhone demand and tax laws — will be addressed in January when Apple reports earnings, and the government finally figures out what it's doing," Yarow writes. "I think it's insane to say innovation is dead at Apple… The idea that innovation is dead at Apple now that Steve Jobs is gone is a lazy, but common argument. It's impossible to disprove in the short term. It's also helped by the fact that most people see Steve Jobs as an infallible visionary, while overlooking his flaws and misjudgments that were corrected by other Apple execs."
Yarow writes, "For instance, according to his biography, Jobs didn't want to make the iPod Windows-compatible. All of his top executives wanted to make a Windows-compatible iPod to increase sales, but Jobs didn't want to do it… This wasn't the only time Jobs' top executives overruled him. When the iPhone was first released Jobs opposed making a third-party app store… There are other examples of Jobs whiffing. He was more right than wrong, and almost always ended up making the right decision. But, my point is that Jobs, for all of his greatness wasn't perfect. He was greatly aided by Apple's other executives, many of whom are still at the company.""

There, he runs into a couple blue macaws trying to escape exotic bird smuggles, but he's too busy getting his freak on to help out. Later, he comes back to the states to visit the quaint town of Woodsboro, only this time he's traded in his fabulous blue feather outfit for a long, black cloak and a "ghost face" mask. After making some calls to random twentysomething girls who are supposed to be teenagers and asking them what their favorite scary movies are, he spent a night in the hospital from a stab wound to the face. Oh, the humanity!

It looks like actress Bindu Madhavi has been dropped from Nakul's Vallinam, which is directed by Eeram director Arivazhagan.
It is a double whammy of sorts to the actress who was recently replaced by Oviya in Sundar C's Masala Cafe.
While the director remained unavailable for comment, a source close to the development confirmed the news and said, "Before casting her in the film, Arivazhagan had done a video test for the role with Bindu and was quite impressed with the output. Unfortunately, during the actual shoot, he found that the actress could not deliver the same consistency in performance as she had done during the test shoot. While he was wondering if he had made a mistake, he came to know that the production side too had felt the same way. So, the director went ahead and chose to drop Bindu from the project."
Meanwhile, we hear that the director is yet to find a replacement for the role.

There are so many objects lying around that might look like a gun if you hide them under a shirt. A hairdryer . . . a spatula . . . your fingers . . . basically anything that's not small and round. This guy picked something small and round.
A man tried to rob two stores in Providence, Rhode Island on Monday . . . using a POTATO.
He walked into a convenience store around 2:00 P.M., held up the potato, said it was a gun, and demanded money. But the clerk chased him off with a baseball bat.
So the guy went to a dry cleaner and tried the same stunt. The cashier handed him a fake $20 bill from a decoy cash register . . . apparently this dry cleaner must get robbed a lot? Then he left, and the cashier called the cops.
The police are trying to track down the guy.

Untouched Hawaii: 4 little-known natural wonders of the Islands preserved forever
by: Chris Baileyposted: Tue Feb 23, 2010 at 11:28 AM
In HAWAII Magazine's January/February 2010 issue feature article "Untouched Hawaii," we took readers to four stunning little-known and rarely visited Hawaii landscapes that will remain forever as they have for eons: preserved and unspoiled. We share the story here with our online ohana.
Much of Hawaii has been adapted for human habitation—towns, roads, farms, cities, buildings. That's good, because people can live in and visit one of the most benign and beautiful natural environments on Earth.
The flip side, of course, is that land development and a host of other factors such as invasive species and global climate change, now threaten much of that environment.
Here are four largely untouched places that have been saved. They include a remote Kauai valley, a Big Island black-sand beach, a sand-dune system on Molokai and a lush forest preserve on Maui.
Each has been placed into preservation status by the Hawaii Chapter of The Nature Conservancy. The organization, a national conservation nonprofit, purchases tracts of land to make sure they are left alone, untouched, in their natural state for future generations.
The Hawaii chapter of the Conservancy has bought and protected more than 236,000 acres of land statewide, sheltering hundreds of native Hawaiian species in the process.
Maintaining these sites requires manpower, funding and time—resources hard to come by. If you want to help, call (808) 537-4508, or visit www.nature.org.
"Our work is ongoing," says Grady Timmons, the Hawaii Conservancy's communications director. "It's never really done."
Still, the group has preserved some stunning untouched landscapes, as you will see on the following pages: 4 little-known natural wonders of Hawaii preserved forever.

Cooks know cooks from the feel of each others' hands, and they can gauge how long someone's been in the business from the thickness of calluses and slow accumulation of scar tissue. Blindfolded, I could recognize some of my own partners in crime with just a handshake. The kinked pinky from years of whisking the roux with the whisk held wrong, the fingertips beveled by slips of the knife, the occasional missing digit or truly noteworthy scar.
Not too long ago, I ran into a former boss who -- like me -- had hung up his knives for a kinder, gentler career path. He'd become a restaurant owner. After we exchanged the usual pleasantries, he asked, "So, how are your hands?" I told him that a few days earlier, my wife had handed me a cup of coffee straight from the French press and I'd had to set it down, fast, on the counter, because it was so hot. It was the first time in ten years I'd been able to feel heat on the palm of my hand. He nodded, commiserating. We were both becoming sissies, useless in the real world of knives and fire and boiling duck fat. These days, the biggest threat of injury we faced was a really nasty paper cut. Our hands were getting soft.

Antipasti misti: $14
Seared sea scallops: $26

Vegetable tagine: $20

But not Sean's. He's no overstuffed teddy-bear chef in spotless whites throwing out catchphrases to a rabid, captive audience. He's not a clipboard-checker, either, stabbing his gold-tipped digital thermometer into every entree coming off the hot line to make sure the entrecote for table 22 is going out well-done. Sean is a cook, and he has the hands to prove it.
He didn't have to stay in the kitchen. Things could have gone very differently after he closed The Biscuit and his much-loved Aubergine Cafe and walked away from the business in early 2001. In the wake of these much-publicized closures, investors were waiting in line to throw big, dirty bags of money at him. "I remember sitting down with these sixty-, seventy-year-old millionaires," Kelly says. "Guys who had all these ideas, who wanted to be restaurant owners and could toss around $40,000 like it was nothing. But that's not nothing. That's a year's work for someone like me. They were like, 'Oh, don't worry. We'll set you up with banks and loans and everything.' But you know what? Someday, someone's gotta pay all that money back, and I didn't want that kind of debt on me."
He could have done a deal with the devil and spent the rest of his days flitting around a swank dining room, taking all the credit for work being done by hordes of sweaty underlings soldiering away on the other side of the swinging doors. He could have become an institution. Restaurant Sean Kelly would have been wildly successful. An empire of Baby Aubergines and Kelly's-to-Go takeout oyster-and-bresaola franchises might have made him a very rich man.
But instead, he did exactly what no one expected. He became a cook again. After a year on the outside spent reading, cutting fish for a local supplier, doing some food writing and getting reacquainted with his family after years of fourteen-hour days, Sean Kelly's back in the kitchen, making your dinner at Clair de Lune. There's no sous chef, no line full of tattooed, felonious kitchen mercenaries brought in to communicate the "essence" of Sean Kelly to the masses -- just Kelly himself, along with Terry White as garde manger, roundsman, prep and pantry cook, and Gustavo Murillo, who washes the dishes. They work together five nights a week in a tiny, bright, well-organized kitchen smaller than those in some starter apartments, and they do it because this -- and not some Pandora's box of debt and celebrity and eighty-hour weeks -- is what Kelly wanted. Something small, intimate and controllable. A place where nobody owned him, that was truly and totally his. And most important, a place where he could cook. "No investor would've gone in with me on a place like this," Kelly says, standing in the alley by Clair de Lune and describing the strange twists that led him to this cramped, pint-sized space on Sixth Avenue.
And he's right. I don't think there's a money man out there who would have risked his neck (or his credit rating) on the concept: eight tables in the dining room, most of them two-tops; five people on the staff most nights (including servers); one cook in the kitchen using local produce and meats -- much of it organic, all of it expensive and some picked, grown, harvested or slaughtered just for him.
Reading Kelly's brief, compact French-Mediterranean menus is like looking at van Gogh's Starry Night. They're sketches, windows onto something larger, vignettes of perfect evenings done in food. Seared sea scallops with celery-root remoulade, scallions, capers and preserved lemon; simple straw-potato cakes; saffron couscous; walnut liqueur, crème anglaise, baked apples and cider reduction; salt-cured foie gras with earthy summer-truffle vinaigrette. Kelly's offerings change with the seasons, with his mood, with the chattering of a fax coming in from one of his local purveyors. Whatever is good, whatever is fresh, whatever moves him, that's what he'll cook. "It's really pretty simple," he says. "One fish, one game, one meat, one vegetable. Then there's the antipasti, the fruits de mer, the cheese courses."

The season finale is coming up soon, but before that you can catch a new episode tonight at 11:30pm EST on MTV. We recently talked to Molly Tarlov at the Abduction carpet about what we can expect in the finale.
"I can spill that Sadie Saxton is going to be really nice," Molly joked. "No that's not true. Don't worry about it, she's still a bitch. That's my spoiler for every episode."
Okay, so Molly wouldn't really give us any spoilers, but she did tell us about her audition process and how she has a special voice for Sadie. Stay tuned for our exclusive interview with her co-star Beau Mirchoff!

I love those colours - beautiful bloom. I wonder if they would grow this far north? Must make a note of it for future reference. |
SO pretty! I wintersowed some...last time I looked they were about an inch and a quarter tall (if you can refer to that as tall). I wonder if they will even survive til next year. Time to see if I can find some to buy, I guess. |
Northerner...it's part of the iris family. Can you grow irises there? I keep it in a raised bed. They don't seem to like wet feet. Linda, they should do fine. I WS the pardacanda (candy lily) last year and this year it's sending up a bloom stalk. I'm really excited! Lisa |

The Trace Element Research Lab (TERL) collectively has 90+ years of experience in measurement of Trace and Toxic metals in all types of tissue, water, sediment, plants, soil, and body fluids. We are especially focused on the environmental accumulation of metals in superfund sites, on metal impacts on the neuroendocine system, and how metals impact the onset of sexual maturation. We have also worked for over 20 years on the mechanisms by which metals (especially lead) foster the intake of drugs of abuse (alcohol, cocaine, etc).

What sort of stats are you looking at, or are you just trolling? He's played huge minutes ever since he came up to the club, against extremely good competition (typically their top lines), and put up decent points. If you look at his advanced stats, he is easily in the top 30 defensemen- an elite talent. Defense also tend to mature into better players rather slowly, so if you measure him against young defense (I believe HEOTP uses defense drafted since 2007?), he is in the top 5. Near guys like Doughty, Pietrangelo, Duncan Keith, Brian Campbell. Not to mention he's had to deal with a ridiculous amount of crap- people questioning his character, attitude, etc thanks to to the nature of hockey coverage in Canada. Even putting aside this, he is easily a top 2 dman on the current roster who can eat minutes, draws a ton of penalties, improves possession numbers significantly, and improves the play of everyone on the ice. You don't pay this sort of player $3 million- whatever the prestige of the club in question. If Bergevin hasn't offered $4.5-$5million they are idiots. I sound like a Subban nut. I'm just sick of people throwing BS about his lack of production or capabilities or other shit we can't measure like 'character' or him being a 'dressing room cancer.' IF we lose Subban, and the price is less than 2 firsts I will be pretty disgusted with the organization. It's great to see Markov playing so well a short time into the season but if history is any guide he WILL get injured. Lowering his TOI with an elite defenseman like Subban would help to some extent in preventing this. He would also draw the attention of forwards hoping to take runs at our D and injure Markov, and I'm far more confident in Subban's youth and physicality than Markov's. - Comment on Again, Tim Thomas (2012-07-27 19:11:18)

I'm agnostic/atheist myself, and very much in favour of same-sex marriage, but it's foolish to dismiss the bible as irrelevant, considering the vast majority of our ideas about human morality are Biblical, or at least Christian in nature. Personally I think you should be able to pick and choose things from the Bible, as there is a lot of crazy stuff but there is also lots of stuff that can make people happier. - Comment on Again, Tim Thomas (2012-07-27 18:58:04)

A 'majority'? I'm 100% sure that a majority (as in 50% +1) of people in Canada, the United States, and even most western democracies support same sex marriage. Thomas and the religious right are the dinosaurs...hating and discriminating against a group of people based on their sexual proclivities. He is more than welcome to publicly make a fool of himself by expressing his increasingly archaic, bigoted views. - Comment on Again, Tim Thomas (2012-07-27 18:53:27)
I don't think one's "rights" should extend to restricting other groups rights based on their sexual practises. That said, Tim Thomas is irrelevant and his opinion basically worthless, considering that the source of his fame in no way makes him an authority worth listening to on the topic he has chosen to publicly advocate against. - Comment on Liveblog: Kings thump Devils 6-1, win Cup (2012-06-12 00:56:50)
Look at the replay. Bernier was going in for a hit, 1/2 a second before he connected Scuderi turned. Who knows if he was actually 'hurt'. He chose to stay on the ice and ensure a longer penalty. - Comment on Liveblog: Kings thump Devils 6-1, win Cup (2012-06-12 00:54:24)
It's insane the people hoping to tar and feather Bernier. He was 3-5 feet away from a perfectly legal shouldercheck, while travelling at a high rate of speed, when Scuderi decided to turn inwards and present his back to the check. Then following the check ( as pointed out by the commentators), Scuderi looked up to see if there was a call, then put his head to the ice, begging for a call, before skating to the bench, to return shortly. - Comment on Liveblog: Kings thump Devils 6-1, win Cup (2012-06-12 00:51:40)
Have you actually looked at it? Bernier was about 3 feet away from Scuderi, readying to hit his right shoulder, when for whatever reason Scuderi decides to turn INWARDS and present his back. Perhaps Bernier should have pulled up a bit (although how much can he slow down at 3-5 feet at full speed), I 'personally' think he did, and Scuderi took the dive. Yes he was bleeding, but that was because of the way he hit the boards, not out of some inherent brutality or violence in the way that Bernier hit him. Pathetic call, and the NHL continues to demonstrate it's ineptitude.

"Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved the blackness of darkness forever." - Beth Gibbons
"In my youth, my Dad used to sit me down in front of all these intense movies. Movies I probably shouldn't have been watching at that age. One of these was 2001: A Space Odyssey which actually ended up being a huge inspiration for me. Being young and impressionable and also sick with a fever when I first saw it, 2001 created a permanent watermark of imagery and sound into my mind. To this day it's one of my favorite movies of all time.
Around the same time my grade school teacher had just told the class about the idea of infinity by having us take out a ruler and telling the class to imagine it extending away from ourselves and never ending. No matter what number you think of, she said, there's always a bigger number beyond that. That idea of infinity was really hard to grasp and it kind of struck fear into me, but it was also an awakening. It was like the scene in 2001 where David travels through the monolith and gets re-born. It's just this huge transformation and the idea of seeing something you've never seen before and it went from something that was very fearful to something that was inspiring.
This all goes along the same lines as the imagery I'm presenting. The idea of creation and infinity—like when I was a child and was looking at the stars—that moment of awe and realizing how small you are, that our Sun is one of billions of stars. I'm sort of trying to recreate that moment of realization that you're not alone…or you are alone, however you want to see it. Imagine if you could feel the earth move and if the earth stopped maybe you'd float off and go into the atmosphere. I want to create that moment, a possibility of what if. I want to bring you somewhere you may have never been or remind you of a feeling you may never have again. You become an explorer and discover a moment that's yours personally because of the abstraction of the image. The images primarily work with the subconscious. Like clouds in the sky or ringlets of smoke my work is more reminiscent of a distant memory or an inner thought that you can't quite remember.
No one will ever see these the same way. Everyone will have a different interpretation. It could be any multitude of emotions. I feel like art has that potential. For me this work gives me inspiration and has that aspect of the universe, the stars, and creation—of moments that are beyond your control—and each of these are of a kind I can never duplicate again. It's just like everything on this planet—every snowflake, every person, every star, everything we know, it's all impermanent. I'm just hoping to document this one instant and take someone out of their world for just a few moments and inspire that awe of awareness that infinity exists."—Arian Camilleri

I have been stumped on this for a while. I'm trying to add a hidden closure to a seam on a garment that has already been sewn. I thought about using a zipper, snaps, and velcro.
I tried sewing in velcro into the seam allowance but I can see the edges of the velcro when it when its fastened because the velcro is black. If I could dye or paint it to be a close match to the fabric, it might work, but I don't think it would take any dye (at least not the hook side) and I think any kind of paint would render the velcro inoperable, unless there is some kind of special paint that would do the job without messing up the hooks and loops. I tried putting snaps in the seam allowance but snaps leave a small gap (maybe 1/8") so you can see them when looking at them on edge. Zippers I don't know about... I think I would have to put the zipper in before the seam is sewn, at least if I want it hidden. That is what the instructions I have read all indicate. Any ideas? Is there something else I'm not thinking of? |

I need more description of the garment, which seam, and what you're trying to accomplish with the closure. Just based on what you wrote, opening a seam and putting in an invisible zipper sounds possible. Or you could think differently and stop trying to hide it and make it a fashion element, depending. Hard to advise without more detail. |
It is a straight seem with maybe 1/2" of seam allowance. I want to add a hidden pocket there. Making and installing the pocket in the seam is simple enough. The problem is closing it up so it is secure and you cant see there is anything there. I bought a hidden zipper actually... that was my first idea, but the instructions I've seen for them all seem to say that it has to be installed before the seam has been sewn. I'm not sure if there is any way around that. |
- Posted by theturtlelady (My Page) on Sun, Nov 2, 08 at 9:42
If you're opening the seam to add the pocket, I don't see the problem with inserting the zipper at the same time, just sew it into the seam between the garment and the pocket pieces. |

Human Capital News Roundup: Sleep's effect on vaccinations, gun violence, lead contamination, and more.
Around the country, print, broadcast and online media outlets are covering the groundbreaking work of Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) leaders, scholars, fellows and grantees. Some recent examples:
Technically Philly reports that, after organizing "Game Solutions for Health," in which students competed to build the best mobile heath tool, RWJF Nurse Faculty Scholars alumna Nancy Hanrahan, PhD, RN, CS, FAAN, will now lead a technology and innovation lab and related course at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing. Read a post Hanrahan wrote for the RWJF Human Capital Blog about Game Solutions for Health.
Not getting enough sleep after receiving a vaccination could reduce vaccine effectiveness, according to a study by RWJF Health & Society Scholar Aric Prather, PhD. "People who slept less than six hours per night were nearly 12 times more likely to be left unprotected by the vaccine than those who slept more than seven hours per night," because their immune systems produced fewer antibodies in response to the vaccine, Health Day reports.
RWJF Clinical Scholar Comilla Sasson, MD, MS—an emergency room physician at the University of Colorado Hospital—spoke to Colorado Public Radio about caring for, and following up with, the victims of the mass shooting in a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado.
A guest editorial in the Pekin (Ill.) Daily Times cites research co-authored by Health & Society Scholar Sammy Zahran, PhD, that finds increased incidence of aggravated assault in cities with "vehicles using leaded gasoline that contaminated [the] cities' air."
Medical XPress reports on a study by Health & Society Scholar Thomas Fuller-Rowell, PhD, that examined the health impacts of social class and income-based discrimination on young people. Fuller-Rowell and his co-authors found marked differences in blood pressure, stress hormones and body mass index among adolescents who perceived they were being discriminated against.

An article on the Huffington Post, "On the Origin of American Gun Violence," cites a 1999 study on crime and public health by Health & Society Scholars site director Ichiro Kawachi, MD, PhD.

APERTO gallery was founded in 2012 by the young contemporary art curator, Elena Yushina, along with a team made up of her friends and colleagues. It was a gallery and alternative space in St. Petersburg, Russia, that worked with young Russian and International artists. The project was one of the first initiatives in St. Petersburg for the integration between the young Russian art scene and the international art community.
APERTO gallery in St. Petersburg was a tribute to the history of contemporary art and in particular to the outstanding curators of the 20th century, Achille Bonito Oliva and Harald Szeeman who in 1980 created a unique "Aperto" section (from the Latin "go forward" and "open widely") at the Venice Biennial to promote young artists. This section existed up until the mid 1990′s and was a place where "trans-avant-garde movements," according to Bonito Oliva's definition, "aligned with new artistic practices".
APERTO gallery was more than an exhibition space, it was a platform for experimentation between art professionals, art lovers, promising young artists, curators and a wider audience, with educational programs and meetings.

Africa: Angola and 16 Other African Missions Facing U.S. Bank Account
Reed Kramer
16 November 2010
Washington, DC - The Angolan Embassy here canceled tonight's celebration
planned to mark the country's 35th independence anniversary, following a
decision by Bank of America to close the embassy's checking accounts.
At least 16 other African missions in the United States and a similar
number from other regions are said to be facing service restrictions
imposed by several large U.S. banks, according to U.S. government
officials and private sector sources, who declined to be identified due
to diplomatic complications the actions are causing.
"The Department of State seriously regrets the inconveniences - in some
cases, very serious inconveniences - that African embassies and others
have been subjected to as a result of actions by a number of American
commercial banks," Assistant Secretary of State Johnnie Carson said when
asked about the problem in an interview Monday.
Senior officials have reached out to banking institutions to help find a
solution, he said. At the same time, officials are stressing that the
U.S. government "does not control the banks in this country and cannot
dictate to them who they shall have as their customers."
But African diplomats are looking to the administration of President
Barack Obama for forceful intervention. The Angolan ambassador, Josefina
Pitra Diakite, who has served in Washington since 2001, has appealed to
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for assistance. American businesses
with interests in Angola have voiced concern to officials in government
and the banks.
Ambassador Roble Olhaye from Djibouti, who - as the longest serving
envoy in Washington - is dean of the diplomatic corps, said in an
interview that he has asked senior State Department officials "to find
an interim solution so these countries can carry on their diplomatic
activities in this country." While some of the affected embassies have
not yet had their accounts closed, Angola and several others are now
unable to access any of the funds they have on deposit in the United
Angola, which has twice the land area of Texas, last year overtook
Nigeria as Africa's largest crude oil producer and has become the sixth
largest supplier of imported oil to the United States. Bilateral
relations with the United States, which have been generally cordial in
the post-Cold War era, moved a step higher following Clinton's visit to
Luanda last year. Since that time, U.S. government efforts aimed at
combating HIV/Aids and improving health have increased and working
groups to promote cooperation on energy and security cooperation have
been established.
As the country's oil output has risen, so have been allegations of
widespread corruption involving both the Angolan government and the
rapidly expanding oil and banking sectors. A U.S. Senate investigation
subcommittee, chaired by Michigan Democrat Carl Levin, in a February
report cited Angola "for an ongoing corruption problem, weak anti-money
laundering (AML) controls, and a cash-intensive banking system."
The Angolan embassy began doing business with Bank of America three
months ago after HSBC Bank USA closed all embassy accounts, apparently
as part of a broader move to reduce or cut ties with the oil-rich
African nation.
In a letter dated October 25, 2010, Bank of America advised the embassy
to stop writing checks and stated that all embassy accounts would be
closed by November 9. But the letter gave no reason for the action, and
no additional information has been provided. Embassy funds on deposit
with the bank remain frozen, leaving mission staff in Washington without
operating funds, according to sources familiar with the situation.
A statement from the bank issued in response to an inquiry from
AllAfrica said: "Due to confidentiality, we can't comment on specific
client relationships. In general, Bank of America Merrill Lynch is
actively committed to providing banking services for the diplomatic
community. This includes countries in Africa, where we have a number of
clients and are pursuing other opportunities."
In June, Reuters reported that Senate pressure may have prompted HSBC to
halt all business dealings with an unspecified number of private Angolan
banks. HSBC declined comment, according to the news agency, which cited
"a source with direct knowledge of the matter" for its report. The
Senate investigation criticized HSBC for close ties to Banco Africano
Investimentos, a U.S.$7 billion private Angolan bank, "despite troubling
information about its ownership and failure to provide a copy of its
anti-money laundering policies and procedures." In August, the Federal
Reserve System censored HSBC for shortcomings in enforcing anti-money
laundering requirements.
On Sunday, the Financial Times reported that the consulting firm Deloite
is carrying out an "independent examination" of anti-money laundering
procedures at HSBC, which is facing investigations by several federal
government agencies.
Banks are facing increasing scrutiny from anti-corruption groups for
their activities in many countries. A March 2009 report on international
banking, issued by Global Witness, charges that "dozens of British,
European and Chinese banks have provided Angola's opaque national oil
company, Sonangol, with billions of dollars of oil backed loans, though
there is no transparency or democratic oversight about how these
advances on the country's oil revenues are used."
The 328-page Senate investigation report issued in February included
four detailed case studies to illustrate how politically connected
foreign officials "have used U.S. lawyers, real estate and escrow
agents, lobbyists, bankers, and even university officials, to circumvent
U.S. anti-money laundering and anticorruption safeguards." Along with
Angola, the case studies focused on Equatorial Guinea, Gabon and
Heightened attention to bank involvement in questionable practices is
believed to be at least the partial impetus for increased restrictions
that a number of African embassies and diplomatic missions in the United
States are now facing in their dealings with American banking
institutions. Increased scrutiny from many governments, led by the
United States, designed to stop money laundering and combat financing of
terrorism, has raised the cost for banks of doing business with smaller
countries and reduced incentives for handling the once-lucrative
While no comprehensive list of countries affected by newly imposed
limits from U.S. banks seems to exist, African nations feeling the
effects are said to include Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cape Verde, Central
African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, Republic of Congo,
Equatorial Guinea, Gambia, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritania,
Mozambique, Namibia, Sierra Leone and Swaziland. As many as 20 countries
outside Africa are believed to be facing similar difficulties.
With so many governments involved, diplomatic efforts to find a
resolution have intensified. Ohaye, whose small nation has not had its
banking services curtailed, said a crisis comparable to what is
happening in Washington is now brewing in New York, where he also serves
as his country's representative. United Nations missions from many
countries have been notified by a bank, which he would not name, that
their accounts will be closed in March, he said. According to one
knowledgeable source, the bank involved is JP Morgan Chase.
The bank crisis is threatening to strain U.S. Angola relations. Late
Monday, 24 hours before Ambassador Diakite had been expecting to host
Angola's independence celebration, she departed Washington to return to
Luanda for consultations with her government on how to handle the
situation. Jose Eduardo dos Santos, who heads the ruling MPLA, has been
president since 1979, and a revised constitution abolishing direct
elections for the presidency assures him of remaining in office until
2012. The country's economy has been one of the fastest growing in
Africa since the civil war that began at independence in 1975 ended in
Christopher J. McMullen, who was confirmed last month by the Senate as
the new U.S. ambassador to Luanda, may not be able to take up his post
if the government there grows increasingly unhappy with the actions
affecting its embassy in Washington. Assistant Secretary Carson said
that, in a telephone call last week, he assured Angolan Foreign Minister
Assunc,ao dos Anjos that the administration wants to see a solution. Top
officials, including Under Secretary of State Robert Hormats and Under
Secretary of Treasury Stuart Levey, have gotten involved as well.
"Concern about this problem has percolated to the highest levels around
