- Providing a special retraction right (the " Special Retraction Right") to holders of Preferred Shares and Class A Shares of the Fund to enable them to retract their Shares on December 2, 2013 in a manner calculated on the same basis as would have applied had the Fund redeemed all Preferred Shares and Class A Shares in accordance with its existing terms;

The art installation titled Waterfall by Tokujin Yoshioka is just as ethereal as the Japan-based artist's past creations. It is centered around his rippling glass Waterfall Table, which looks as though it were a cross-section from a real waterfall or moving stream. Yet, its surroundings are what really takes the audience's breath away. This installation is made up of 300,000 white plastic drinking straws, arranged to look like fluffy, cumulus clouds.
The art installation Waterfall by Tokujin Yoshioka marks his first exhibition in Sydney, Australia. Showing at the Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation until mid-December of this year, the installation plays with the viewer's mind as he or she tries to grasp at the fact that it is simply crafted out of plastic straws. It also gives new meaning to this everyday object.

Tiger Woods' Soul Is 'Complex And Unsettling'
By Kristin Koch
We're approaching the one year anniversary of Tiger Woods' infamous Thanksgiving car crash that led to the collapse of the golf star's marriage to Elin Nordegren and arguably, his career. So what better way to commemorate the event than with an essay written by Mr. Woods himself? Yes, Tiger Woods continues his rehabilitation PR campaign by writing an essay for Newsweek about how golf was partly at fault for his serial cheating. Ahhh, that explains it, right?
But in fairness, Tiger does begin his sob story by admitting he made some serious mistakes. Here's what he had to say, according to excerpts obtained by The Washington Post:
"I had been conducting my personal life in an artificial way—as if detached from the values my upbringing had taught, and that I should have embraced."
But then Tiger gets really soulful with his words. And yes, we just used the words "soulful" and "Tiger" in the same sentence. You see, now that Tiger is alone, his divorce a done deal and his career faltering, he's found time for some much-needed soul searching. Tiger Woods Admits He "Let Family Down"
"The physical pain from that car accident has long healed. But the pain in my soul is more complex and unsettling; it has been far more difficult to ease—and to understand."
But apparently, the disgraced golfer hasn't learned anything since his original post sex rehab statement (when he still thought he had a shot at reviving his marriage and holding on to his celebrity endorsements), 'cause the rest of the essay starts to read exactly like the same old stuff we've heard before that Elin didn't end up buying and quite frankly, we're just sick of hearing.
"But this much is obvious now: my life was out of balance, and my priorities were out of order. I made terrible choices and repeated mistakes. I hurt the people whom I loved the most. And even beyond accepting the consequences and responsibility, there is the ongoing struggle to learn from my failings." Tiger Woods Reconciles Behavior, Marriage On ESPN
And then for the kicker, the newbie single dad pulls out the kid card, admitting he now realizes the importance of pretty much all he has left now—his two children.

Education Information
MaineCare Seed for Special Purpose Private SchoolsMay 2, 2012The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Office of MaineCare has been working with the Department of Education (DOE) to find solutions to some fundamental issues regarding the payment of school based services. These issues have been complex and have required systems changes in both state agencies. Previously, when special purpose private schools (SPPS) billed MaineCare, all allowable claims were paid only the Federal portion of the reimbursement by MaineCare. The special purpose private school then billed DOE for State Agency Clients and the resident school administrative units (SAUs) for students that were not State Agency Clients for the State portion (seed) of the claim. The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has advised MaineCare that the process we have been using cannot continue. Therefore, special purpose private schools will be paid 100% of the Medicaid reimbursement rate for allowable claims with a service date beginning July 1, 2011. There have been some challenges getting the MaineCare payment system adjusted for this change. The backlog of claims that began to pay in December 2011 paid the Federal portion only. SPPS have been advised not to seek payment from SAUs for that State portion (seed) because MaineCare intends to re-run those claims to adjust the claim reimbursement amount to 100% of the allowable claim reimbursement. The first claims that paid at 100% were processed the first week in February 2012. DOE and DHHS have developed a system that utilizes DOE State funds as the State portion of the Medicaid reimbursement for medically necessary services delivered to Medicaid-eligible children attending special purpose private schools.
This process is an interim process that may become standard practice for FY 13. Both DOE and DHHS are committed to developing a long-range process to support the provision of school-based services to all children. DOE intends to conduct rate setting for the educational rate of special purpose private schools this summer, August 15, 2012 thru October 1, 2012. If you have any questions please contact: |

When the company I work for announced the annual Cinco De Mayo party was going to be the biggest one yet I decided to brew three separate brews for the event. I have been eyeballing Biermunchers rolling kegerator for some time and thought what better way to serve the beer. We recently moved to a new facility and they invited almost 400 people to attend. The homebrew was a big success and I had a steady flow of people the whole night asking questions about homebrewing. I cant believe how easy it was to put together. The trash can I used didnt have much extra room for insulation but I found that the beer stayed cold for the whole night only half filled with ice. My only concern is it being black it may be a problem outside in the sun but Ill just need to watch where I place it when the time comes.
Lets see how good it works.. bring it over to my next party.. LOL
Looks good! I just made one using the same trash can. Will be using it to serve homebrew at my BIL's upcoming retirement party. Hopefully it goes as smoothly for me as it did for you.
I was a little nervous about it handling the weight of three kegs plus ice but it seemed to hold up pretty good as long as you don't move it around much once it's full. The kegs were chilled already when I put them in so that helped with the ice lasting as long as it did I think. I'm sure you'll be fine.

Reviewed Smothered Veal Chops with Mushroom Gravy
Jul 26, 2011 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"I also use pork chops instead of veal chops. I changed the directions a little bit by frying the bacon, then the onions and mushrooms before I add the flour. I also use 1/2 lb of bacon (who doesn't love bacon??) I have been making this recipe for years and it's a family favorite!! It goes well with Emeril's kicked up cheesy bacon mashed potato""

A DIY Home Theater Conversion on a Budget
The 15.5'x 10' room is small by home theater standards but it has a 11.5' ceiling height. The room which is located on the second floor of our house has a closet and a floor to ceiling arched window. So the first problem I had to solve was how to cover up the window. My budget was limited to $500 for the room conversion so whatever I did had to be cheap and removable. What I ended up doing was covering the window with black plastic mylar and then making a floor to ceiling curtain from black fabric purchased at a local fabric store. The end result worked out great. The room was now pitch black with absolutely no visible light and the room acoustics were greatly improved due to the existence of the curtain. At about this same time we were having our downstairs 1990's blue carpet replaced. The carpet was still in great shape so I had the installers move it to the new theater room. I then proceeded to paint the walls a dark blue to match the carpet
Due to the high cost of video screens I was determined to build my own. I constructed a screen from a 4'x8' sheet of wall board and painted it with a combination of Bear Silverscreen and White Pearlescient paint. The screen size is 92" diagonally. Total cost was around $50. The picture quality with this screen is awesome with no visible hot spotting. More detailed information can be found on my website.
The existing closet ended up working perfectly for housing the equipment rack and allowing easy access to the attic for running cables to the front projector. The closet doors can be closed to prevent light from the equipment from interfering with movie enjoyment. I added electrical outlets in the closet for the AV equipment and one in the attic for the projector. Low cost white PVC pipe was used around the edges of the room for running the speaker wires. As they are located next to the white baseboards they are barely noticeable.
The main/rear loudspeakers are vintage1970's Ohm I's from Ohm Acoustics. The surround loudspeakers are custom in-wall units.
Since I did not have a center channel speaker or a dedicated subwoofer I proceeded to construct these myself. The center channel loudspeaker driver selection and system design were designed to complement the sound of the existing main loudspeakers. An old bookcase I had was just the right height for positioning the center channel loudspeaker level with the top of the main loudspeakers and there was enough room underneath to hold the subwoofer. The subwoofer is a custom design using Sunfire loudspeaker drivers and a 600W Class D amplifier. The total available audio system power is 3500 watts RMS! Needless to say with this much power available used in conjunction with the four 12" subwoofers of the Ohm-I's and the custom subwoofer the room totally rocks with movie sound affects.
All in all I am thrilled to finally have the home theater that I have always dreamed about. Even though it isn't the fanciest theater around it has provided family and friends with many hours of awesome entertainment.

Thanks for your comments! Your sentiments mirror mine exactly. I have been an avid audiophile since I was a teenager. Although contrary to what some believe it does not mean one must spend lots of money to enjoy the hobby. I have always strived to do more with less. In the end it does not matter how much you spend but how much you enjoy what you have. For me my system performs better than I could have ever hoped for.
Yes the white closet door was initially thought to be an issue and I toy'd with the idea of painting it a darker color. However after spending hundreds of hours watching movies I have never been distracted by it. I have thus left it as is for now.
Great job! The Ohm, Carver, and Outlaw gear shows an eye for quality equipment that is a bit out of the mainstream. It is wonderful to see. I have a question about the white door on the closet - does it cause reflections of light from the screen? Might a black curtain in front of the closet help with light control? I love the room. I hope you, and your indulgent wife enjoy it.
I agree with illbenooneelse. Most of the theaters we see posted are beyond reach for most people. It's refreshing to see one that didn't cost $100K from start to finish. And "A/V rack", I'm sure if he's on a budget I'm sure he's not going to fork out $800+ on a rack.
I'm shocked that no one has commented on this yet. Well done! While everyone loves great high-end tech, the reality majority of folks out there can't exactly drop $20-30k on home theater equipment and renovations without taking pause. You're practicality and ingenuity is a welcomed addition to a site so often riddled with over-the-top, impractical and sometimes hideous set-ups (Kipnis', again, I'm looking at you: http://www.hometheaterdesignmag.com/highend/208great/).
Wow, I was so excited about what I just saw that in my haste to post, my previous comment above was fraught with typos! Hence a second, proof-read version below (sorry, I wouldn't have been able to live with myself if I didn't make corrections - I have issues, I know).--I'm shocked that no one has commented on this yet.

Thanks for your submission! I am currently working on my own theater room out of an existing upstairs bedroom. The bedroom I will be using is 16ft. 3 inches with the back closet open and 10ft and 1 inches wide with 8ft ceilings. Your work has shown me that it will be possible to create my first simple theater with a 106 inch screen.THANKS!I too am on a modest budget.

Temple Run Series Racks Up One Billion Downloads
Looks like you're all pretty nuts for Temple Run and Temple Run 2, because Imangi Studios' hit franchise just hit one billion downloads.
Looks like you're all pretty nuts for Temple Run and Temple Run 2, because Imangi Studios' hit franchise just hit one billion downloads.
Well, if you thought before that Hollywood ran out of ideas ...
If you own a smartphone, chances are you know what Temple Run is -- the addicting mobile game in which players are chased continuously through the amazon by demon monkeys for stealing their golden idol. Now Warner Bros. is going to take that same game and somehow transform it into a film.
Following the success of Temple Run: Brave, Disney Mobile Games and Imangi Studios partnered up today to release Temple Run: Oz, the latest in a string of collaborations between the legendary studio and mobile game makers. The game arrives on mobile devices ahead of the upcoming film "Oz the Great and Powerful," which hits theaters this Friday.
The rolling juggernaut that is Temple Run 2 continued its mad dash for the records books today, becoming the fastest mobile game to reach 50 million downloads.
It might be understating things a little bit to say that the original Temple Run has been a hit for developer Imangi Studios. Since the addictive endless runner was released in August 2011, it has been downloaded more than 170 million times across iOS and Android. That's just ridiculous. Especially considering that Imangi Studios only consisted of three people at the time. Following the runaway success of the first game, Imangi has ballooned in size to five people. The extra two employees were brought on to help make Temple Run 2 a bigger and better game. So how did they do?
Temple Run, that juggernaut of an endless runner, will get itself a straight-up sequel that will likely hit the App Store tomorrow, Jan. 17. This news arrives thanks to the watchful eyes of Touch Arcade, who spotted a link for the game over in the New Zealand iTunes App Store. Again with the Kiwis!
Love Temple Run, the popular endless running game where you try and guide an adventurer through ruined temples as he attempts to escape crazed temple dwellers? Now you can show off that love with new Temple Run merchandise!

The main reason, I think, is that my work-related stuff all wound up on my tech blog, speakingofclouds, which had a modestly successful year. Reviews of books and other media were posted to Amazon.com. And I shared most of my ephemeral content – news and opinion – over at Facebook.
With all that said, I'm not going to close this blog, even though pundits are once again declaring that "the blog is dead". I want a place where I can do a little long-form writing on non-technical topics, and this is the best I can think of.

"Modern day 'Catcher In The Rye'"
An excellent coming of age book that any age group and generation can relate to. This novel captures the trials and tribulations of growing up, the fear we all experienced being teenagers, trying to fit in and it didn't pull any punches.
"Perfect even if you saw the movie"
If you saw the movie, don't worry. I feel the book enhances the movie, going beyond what they could do on the big screen. Even though I knew "the twist", it's still hard to see it coming. Many say this book is an attack on commercialism, but for me I found it to be a brilliant insight into a truely deranged mind!
"Skip the movie...read the book"
Oh yes indeed!! What makes this book so great is how historically accurate it is. The author really goes to great lengths to keep the sound and feel of the era. Taking historical events, and adding the twist of vampires was perfect. If vampires did exist, the explinations given in the book for certain events seems plausable.
He gave each character a distinct voice, and his performance as Lincoln was spot on. His voice really brings the story to life.
"Action Packed, Great 1 shot SW novel"
It is not the best SW novel out there, but definatly in the top 10.
The obvious choice is Mace Wundu, but I would have to say, Nick. Nick is a Korran rebel that aids Mace for most of the book. Quick witted, and a deceptivly capable fighter, Nick is far from the "dopey sidekick".
"A must read!"
Kenobi was a well paced story from start to finish, with elements of action and drama mixed nicely. We really get to dive deep into Obi-Won's soul, and learn more about his feeling towards Anakin, and the emotions he felt during and after Episode III.
Not so much a book, but a classic movie.....The Rifleman.
Jonathan Davis is the GO TO GUY to narrate Star Wars novels! He captures Obi-Won's voice and character to a tee, and he gives life to the assorted characters in the novel.
The ending for sure, after Obi-Won resolves the story's issues/conflicts, and grants himself a measure of forgivness for the actions of Episode II/III.
The narration is slow to the point that it is painful. While the books premise seemed intriguing, the author drones on and on about his childhood, not getting to the actual plot for quite some time. Try as I like, I just couldn't hang in there.
"A Must Read!"
yes indeed! it gives great insight into the actual event and into the "why". the author has gone to great lengths to stick to the facts, and much of what he explores was either long forgotten, ignored or never brought to public attention.
That all of the rumors, theories and myths behind Columbine were just that....mostly false rumors and misbeliefs. This is the first work that I've come across that really explores the minds of Dylan and Eric, looking to see why they did what they did.
Overall this book sucked! The audio quality sounded like they were recording it on an old cassette player in someone's home. The reader had zero passion, made mistakes and would often pause midsentence for no reason.
"Not a bad start..."
A fresh take on the vampire genre, and chock full of trashy romance elements!! Merit, the main character, seems to be interesting, but many of the supporting characters (especially Catcher) look like they will really be the backbone of this series.
Ms. Holloway's performance made it difficult to tell of the character was speaking, or thinking their statements, and often times you cannot tell which action is being performed. She also doesn't seem to put much effort into using distinct "voices" for characters. She seems to have two character voices.....male and female....otherwise you can't tell which character is speaking.
"True Tale of Courage and Honor"
I've read quite a few histoy/military history books so far, and this ranks right up there as one of the best tales to date. Dick Couch's 'Warrior Elite' edges this one out as the best so far, and I mention it becuae there is a relation betwen the two books. In this story, Marcus Latrell, USN SEAL, talks about his training with BUD/S class 228, the same class that Mr. Couch expertly documented in his book.
The novel begins a bit slow, and the readers attempt at a 'texas good ole boy' accent is distracting, but once the story shifts to Operation Red Wing, the pace picks up. If you want to be inspired, truely inspired, then read this AND 'Warrior Elite'. Navy SEALS are not just the toughest, best trained fighting division in the world, they are also an ultra rare breed of men. Their stories are simply amazing.

We've heard your feedback and are continuing to build a better Slickdeals. Click here to check out the updated site.
because they are basing all their info on a "trial" program that eliminated the RR program in the process. from all reports, the RR program AND the balance rewards program Are going to be around. Not to mention, if you shop at walgreens, whether online or instore, you are still going to want to get whatever bonus points are due you whether you think the program is great or it stinks. Everyone is taking out their personal feelings about the program, but if you don't sign up for it, you get ZIP. If you've decided you hate Walgreens now due to this program and have no intention of shopping there, why are you in this thread complaining? just move along. If you're still going to shop there in any,way, shape or form, this is useful information. Is this the hottest deal on the face of the planet? NO, but it's being shared so people are informed and can decide accordingly if this is something they are interested in. :
I think I did in the sense that, it's a program, you enroll, you get points. The inherent value and all the other stuff is subjective based on your individual opinion of the program. As for prices, you shop the sales as you'd do for any store. If you can do better at another store, then shop there. I'm not advocating anyone "lose" money by shopping at Walgreens. This is here so people who do can get whatever is coming to them, whether you think thats "good or bad" as far as a rewards program is concerned. If you don't sign up and use it, you get nothing. Plain and simple. Is nothing better than something? I don't think so. |
Does anyone know if theres a limit? I.e stride id gum buy 2 get 1000 points, will I be able to earn more than 1000 points? |
1. People have a right to voice their opinion as to whether they think a deal is crappy or not.
2. Yes, rewards programs can go in Hot Deals - but ultimately it's the SD community that will determine whether they think it's a hot deal.. same thing with lease deals, 100 miles deals, hard-to-find items at MSRP, etc. I get tired of all the preachers out there saying how such-and-such doesn't belong in hot deals. It takes a lot more time for you to say that then to just MOVE ON. 3. Yes, this is a crappy deal! Most surprising to me is the 6 month expiration if you don't buy something - that's ridiculous. And they have the gall to say that's a "lenient, customer friendly expiration"? No, that's a hard line, short, and customer-unfriendly expiration. You want a lenient expiration? Just say points never expire. Easy, simple to manage, and customers think it's great. |
I had no problem if people think the deal is crappy or not. I did take issue with the rants about why is this in hot deals (as I said, compared to many similar posts in HD that are put up all the time) or the drugstore snobs who show up and huff and puff about it's already discussed over there nonsense. As for the expiration, sure, while points that never expire are best, having to walk into a Walgreens 2x a year (once every six months anyway), isn't that hard of a requirement to meet. Compare that to the extra care bucks which expire after 30 days or UP rewards at Rite Aid which often expire in 14 days. I'm not sure why you view that as such a "crappy" thing. I view that as a super easy hoop to jump through. Not to mention, online shopping counts too, so it doesn't even require an in person visit to the store necessarily. |
1) Employees were given this a month ahead of time, and at most we can earn 500 points by spending $5 in a single transaction. Why bother? This was piss-poorly planned out.
2) NJ does not qualify for points-for-scripts. BS. 3) I'd be on board if it were like a CC rewards program; a certain # of points for every dollar spent. It's only on certain items. 4) I like the online aspect of it too, and it's about time Walgreens got a loyalty card, but they're trying too hard to differentiate themselves from the competition, and it may end up biting them in the @$$. At least the RR's are still in effect, so nothing to worry about there. NOT a hot deal. |
Well I for one hadn't heard this news yet, so thanks for the HU OP! Whether good or bad.... Only time will tell. Lastly, jeesh, it's not up to anyone cept Mods, to decide what posts go where, and even they don't agree often times, so quit offering useless, non-solicited opinions as to where the post should be, and just move along......
Some important things I got from Terms and Conditions:
"Points will not be earned in a transaction where Redemption Dollars or Store Credit is used" "Items ordered online and delivered to your home will earn Points as they would if purchased in store" "All Points will be awarded to the Member's account 3-5 days after purchase." "Company reserves the right to limit Points awarded with respect to any offer or promotion to reasonable household quantities. On a return and/or exchange the Points will be deducted from the Member's account that was used for the original purchase." "When returning items paid with Redemption Dollars, the Redemption Dollars will be refunded to Member in the form of store credit." "Should any Balance Rewards Member not earn or redeem Points for 6 consecutive calendar months, the membership will be deemed to be inactive and all accumulated Points will be forfeited. For active Members, all Balance Rewards Points expire on a rolling 36 month basis." Look like the end for me at Walgreens. |

He graduated from Yale University School of Medicine and trained in internal medicine and gastroenterology at UCLA/Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. DRUG INTERACTIONS: The destruction of tacrolimus by the body may be inhibited by a large number of drugs, resulting in higher blood levels of tacrolimus and possibly increasing its side effects. Such drugs include lansoprazole (Prevacid), omeprazole (Prilosec), protease inhibitors (for example, nelfinavir [Viracept] and ritonavir [Norvir]), bromocriptine (Parlodel), cimetidine (Tagamet), cisapride (Propulsid), clarithromycin (Biaxin), cyclosporine (Sandimmune; Neoral), danazol (Danocrine), diltiazem (Cardizem, Tiazac), erythromycin, fluconazole (Diflucan), itraconazole (Sporanox), ketoconazole (Nizoral), metoclopramide (Reglan), methylprednisolone (Medrol), nicardipine (Cardene), troleandomycin (Tao), and verapamil (Calan, Isoptin, Verelan, Covera-HS). Grapefruit juice has a similar effect on tacrolimus and should be avoided. Other drugs can stimulate the break-down of tacrolimus, decreasing its blood concentration and possibly reducing its effectiveness. Such drugs include carbamazepine (Tegretol), nifedipine (Procardia; Adalat); phenobarbital, phenytoin (Dilantin), St. John's Wort, rifabutin, and rifampin.

Former U.S. Marshal Simon Fisk now works as a private contractor, tracking down and recovering children who were kidnapped by their own estranged parents. He only has one rule: he won't touch stranger abduction cases. He's still haunted by the disappearance of his own daughter years ago when she was just a child, still unsolved, and stranger kidnappings hit too close to home.
Until, that is, six-year-old Lindsay Sorkin disappears from her parents' hotel room in Paris, and the French police deliver Simon an ultimatum: he can spend years in a French jail for his actions during a past case, or he can work with them now to find Lindsay Sorkin. So, Simon sets out in pursuit of the missing child and the truth behind her disappearance. But Lindsay's captors did not leave an easy trail, and following it will take Simon across the continent, through the ritziest nightclubs and the seediest back alleys, into a terrifying world of international intrigue and dark corners of his past he'd rather never face again.
With lightning-fast pacing and a twist behind every turn, Douglas Corleone's Good as Gone is a gripping race against the clock for a young girl with her life on the line and a man who has nothing left to lose.
DOUGLAS CORLEONE is a former New York City defense attorney and winner of the MB/MWA First Crime Novel Competition. He now lives in Kapolei, Hawaii with his wife and two children.
"Good as Gone goes from zero to 60 in under six seconds and never lets off the gas! If you like your thrillers filled with nonstop action in a race against time through Europe's underbelly, hop in and take a ride."—ANDREW GROSS
"Good as Gone delivers a lightning-fast pace, surprising and heartfelt twists, and action aplenty."—JEFF ABBOTT
"Good as Gone is everything I want in a thriller—an ingenious plot, breathless pace, and one of the coolest new heroes to come along in years. My only question is, when can I read the next Simon Fisk thriller?" —DAVID ELLIS
"Good as Gone is the can't-put-it-down thriller of the year that propels Douglas Corleone into Lee Child territory. Yeah, it's that good."—JASON STARR
"Good as Gone is as good as it gets. Simon Fisk is a fascinating character, and Doug Corleone has crafted one hell of a thriller. It is a pleasure to recommend this nonstop novel to my readers."—MICHAEL PALMER
"A terrific international thriller. I expected to be entertained when I picked up a novel by Douglas Corleone and was rewarded handsomely. Highly recommended."—JAMES GRIPPANDO
"Fast paced and lean…Simon Fisk, the former U.S. marshal who makes his living finding children who have been abducted by their estranged parents, is an excellent character…Once the story kicks into high gear, which is pretty much at the top of page 2, it doesn't let up, period.."—Booklist (starred review)
"If James Bond were in the business of rescuing kidnapped children, he might easily be mistaken for Simon Fisk, the haunted hero of this slam-bam thriller from Corleone…An adrenaline rush with a character worth rooting for."—Publishers Weekly

In Ecuador, gang members trade guns for scissors and nail polish
How a former nun gets rival gangs to run their own legit businesses.
Zach Johnston
Guayaquil, Ecuador
In the most dangerous neighborhood of Guayaquil – Ecuador's largest and most crime-ridden city – a dozen youths are busy working in the Paz Urbana Print Shop.
By the entrance, a young man designs a T-shirt logo with graffiti paint. In the back, amid the hip-hop music and paint fumes, tattooed young men with baggy pants and baseball caps compile an order of worksheets for schools.
The print shop is part of an organization of small businesses, including a bakery, a beauty parlor, and a dance school, with a surprising business model – they are entirely run by Ecuadorean street gang members, many of whom were once rivals.
At the heart of this operation that has helped produce a dramatic drop in neighborhood crime, is a former nun and school teacher, Nelsa Curbelo, from Uruguay.
Upon first glance, the gentle, grandmotherly Nelsa – as everyone calls her – looks out of place among the gangster paraphernalia. But later, watching her comfortable interactions with the tough-looking youths, the affection and respect she commands is evident.
"[Nelsa] supports us a lot, she gives us advice and we are very grateful. We are here because of her," says Daniel Legovia with a smile as he takes a break from his print shop duties. "Before I was always getting in trouble. If we weren't throwing rocks at each other, we were shooting each other, but now, thank God, we've changed."
In 1999, Nelsa founded Ser Paz ("Being Peace"), an organization that helps gangs reintegrate into society by providing professional training and education, as well as outlets for creative expression. Gangs can apply for microloans from Ser Paz to start their own small businesses, so long as they agree to give up crime and to work with rival gang members. Now five gangs boasting such names as the "Latin Kings" and "Iron Nation" work side by side, their old rivalries buried under the buzz of shop talk.

The facilities were fine and the room was ok but the area was dreadful. What ever you do do not go out at night in this area! My partner and I were stopped by a gang to see if we wanted to buy drugs. Its better than being robbed which we thought was going to happen but nevertheless we weren't impressed with the area at all. Also you aren't allowed to take your key out with you - you leave it behind the desk. But they seem to give the room key to anyone that asks! I could've easily got anyone's.

Fitness Gear Pro Utility Bench
Better than I expected
Just picked this up today. Had a good dumbbell chest workout with it. I must say, this bench exceeded my expectations. The bench goes flat, incline, and even slightly decline (maybe 10 degrees). I wasn't expecting the decline-- nice little bonus. I've never even seen a bench at the gym that does all three. It feels rock solid. It feels gym quality to me. Very pleased.
January 24, 2015
Some wobble, but otherwise stable
I thought this bench to be pricey at first...then I shopped around and noted that the more economical benches also had lesser weight capacity.
Assembly was super easy, as it basically came assembled. It is pretty stable, and the wobble I experience may be due to my concrete flooring as opposed to substandard machinery.
I have only used it as a flat bench so far.
January 24, 2015
Great for the price
It is very easy to put together and works well. It is a little light weight, wish it was 10 lb heavier.
January 21, 2015
as decribed
I thought it would be heavier gauge steel. I worry about the square tubing in the back. It is a little flimsy. I do still give it a 4 star because once built, it is very solid. Make sure you get yourself wider washers for the bottom square tubing.
January 21, 2015
Great Bench for the Price
Easily assembled. Exactly what was needed for the home gym and very sturdy and comfortable while working out.
January 20, 2015
wouldn't recommend it
bench is sturdy, well built and easy to put together, but there is too big of a space between the seat and backrest making it uncomfortable in the incline position.
January 17, 2015
4-1/2 stars
Bench is very nice. The adjustable pins are very good feel and quality. I purchased the unit at Plainfield, IN location. The store help in fitness and the check out were extremely helpful. It went along way in making decision to purchase. Kudos to them. Other locations didn't show the level of interest to answer questions.
January 13, 2015
Nice bench with only one flaw
The front of the bench slides around on the carpet a little. I suggest putting it on a rubber mat.
January 13, 2015
so far so good
unit went together in about 10 to 15 minutes, and feels very sturdy. one of the pre-installed trim pieces was broken in the box but other than that I'm very happy with the unit. if it is truly rated for 600 pounds it should be the last bench I will need to buy.
January 13, 2015
Great bench for price
Have only worked out on it a couple of times but am happy with it so far. Bench was very easy to assemble. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because the bottom floor brace under the seat should be a couple of inches wider for stability.

text: So Many Me Review Matthew Prichard August 16, 2014 The best thing about So Many Me is its raw charm. It's just a fun game to play. Like a puppy, the game is just delightful in everything it does. You struggle to find at least one thing that's not sickeningly enjoyable. It's got excellent writing that fits the game's cutesy style well, and the game's sheer inability to be disliked can carry it past many of its faults. So Many Me puts you in the goo of Filo, a small blob whose role is to save the world. He does this with the assistance of his cloned brothers, whom he finds throughout the game. They have assorted abilities, such as being able to turn into stone, which aid our hero on his quest. Filo understands that we prefer playing to reading and often skips through large chunks of dialogue for the sake of getting into levels. This "fourth wall not needed" style is refreshingly funny. By acknowledging how cliché the plot is, So Many Me hides the fact that the story itself is rather lacklustre. It does serve however, and is as good as it needs to be. I should prefix this paragraph be reminding you that difficulty is subjective and that my platforming skill is equivalent to throwing bricks at your controller. I found So Many Me to be a challenging, though a fair puzzle platformer. Each level tends to be a stramash of different sub-objectives and a single endpoint you must reach. I found the stages to be mildly difficult in both planning and execution, though fun nonetheless. The respawn points should you perish are neither generous nor punishing, and simply have you redo whatever you were working on. The boss fights however, are where this becomes a problem. If you've ever thought that you love doing the same unfun task mindlessly several times, then you're in for a treat. So Many Me's bosses are a stark contrast to the levels. They feature easily noticeable solutions and take little to no skill in completing. While they're not often enough for it to be off-putting, it is a shame that they spoil otherwise very enjoyable platforming. Art style is never an easy thing to fit across the board and So Many Me is no exception. While it looks nice, there are often moments where an object just looks out of place. I respect that this might be purposeful, but it never felt so. The game looks pretty enough and the cutesy thematic runs just as strong here as any other aspect, but it's nothing special. Musically, the game is no great triumph, nor is it a let down. The audio is mostly just there, neither being repellent or awkward, but having no distinguishing characteristics. There are legions of collectables within So Many Me. If you want a game that takes a while to 100% complete, then look no further. There are droves of the aforementioned sub-objectives, which include costumes, gameplay upgrades and raw time sinks. These are dotted throughout the levels. This is a platformer that you can't go wrong with. The game is just a great time and is enjoyable to play.

As Ivory Coast stalemate worsens, so do the chances of military intervention
(Read article summary)Although the West African regional body, ECOWAS, has threatened to use force to remove incumbent President Laurent Gbabgo, nobody wants to ignite a second civil war in Ivory Coast.
Thierry Gouegnon/Reuters
Dakar, Senegal
At least 247 people have died since Ivory Coast's Nov. 28 election, which was supposed to end a 12 year conflict in the world's top cocoa producer. At least 49 people have disappeared, and those whisked away to secret prisons may number in the hundreds.
Those are the latest numbers from a United Nations mission that has been firebombed, shot at, and increasingly understood as an occupying army by defenders of Laurent Gbagbo, the renegade president who has escalated his refusal to concede electoral defeat into a once-in-a-generation-battle for the sovereignty of this former French colony.
And last week, the UN announced from Geneva that its agents have caught word of – but been blocked from visiting – a third mass grave, this one stuffed with 80 bodies buried less than 50 miles from the Liberian border; a line that 25,000 everyday Ivoirians have crossed since November, searching for a country where sporadically violent house searches, attacks on UN convoys, and tire-fire road blocks manned by gun-waving extortionists aren't the new norm.
"The question now being discussed within the UN is the urgency of military intervention, not only to protect UN peacekeepers," said UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay, who tried Rwandan war criminals in the 1990s.

Nearly 50 years after directing his debut feature, "The First Teacher," Russian maestro Andrei Konchalovsky returns to the Venice Film Festival competition for the fifth time as director with "The Postman's White Nights."
No stranger to major film fest red carpets, Konchalovsky first saw the Venice spotlight as a screenwriter on legendary Russian auteur Andrei Tarkovsky's "Ivan's Childhood," which won the Venice Gold Lion in 1962.
He also was a screenwriter on Tarkovsky's "Andrei Rublev" (1966) which competed at Cannes, as did Konchalovsky's "Siberiade," which scored the Grand Jury Prize in Cannes in 1979.
But despite all of the accolades and the decades of filmmaking experience under his belt, on the phone from Moscow Konchalovsky sounds as energized and excited about filmmaking as if he were just starting out, which, he explains, isn't too far from the truth.

Other worldly. Out of time. Languid. Uncanny. Meditative. These are all fine and easy ways to describe the promo reel for veteran Russian-American director Andrei Konchalovsky's latest, The Postman's White Nights, which will be playing in competition at Venice early next month.Konchalovsky may be best known to Twitch readers as the director of the 1985 thriller Runaway Train, as well as the co-screenwriter with Andrei Tarkovsky on Andrei Rublev. Konchalovksy has certainly proven a versatile storyteller in his near six decades in the business, as this one is a big shift from his last, The Nutcracker in 3D.

Those initial and perplexing feelings found residence in the works of the Soviet director with masterpieces such as Stalker, Andrei Rublev, and The Sacrifice remaining haunting mysteries.

And here we are. The day after Easter and we've reached the top of the mountain. While compiling this list, it's become evident that true religious films just aren't made anymore (and if they are, they are widely panned). That being said, religious themes exist in more mainstream movies than ever, despite there being no deliberate attempts to dub the films "religious." Faith, God, whatever you want to call it – it's influenced the history of nations, of politics, of culture, and of film. And these are the most important films in that wheelhouse. There are only two American films in the top 10, and only one of them is in English.

Total Awards: 19??? Possible PS4 Feature ???
The IBTimes tech team has been busy with New York Comic Con coverage this week, but one thing that didnt show up on the main floor of Javits Center Thursday or Friday was new hardware from the Japanese video game and tech giant Sony Corp. (NYSE: SNE). Still, that didnt stop the popular video game site Kotaku from getting wind of a patent application filed by Sony on Thursday for a new video game controller that could heat up and cool down along with gameplay cues.
The model for the alleged controller (Sony representatives have so far refused to comment) is based off the Playstation Move -- Sonys motion-controlled device that complements certain Playstation 3 games, similar to Microsofts (Nasdaq: MSFT) Kinect device. The main addition is a row of metal bands that heat up or cool down depending on different actions happening in-game.
In one embodiment, a user controls the firing of a weapon in a video game, the patent reads. As the weapon is repeatedly fired, the weapon may heat up and the controller may exhibit increasing heat feedback to communicate this fact to the user. At a certain point, the weapon may become inoperable, and the user must then wait for the weapon to cool off before firing the weapon again.
The patent went on to say that the controller may even change from a change from a cooler color to a warmer color, such as from blue or green to orange or red to offer lighted feedback in conjunction with the thermal feedback.
Like the recent smash hit of a Kickstarter campaign championed by the Oculus Rift -- another nearly too-good-to-be-true idea, Sonys new controller promises gamers an immersive augmented reality experience that they had previously only been able to dream of. Another possibility that the patent described would have the controller respond when the character is hit by enemy fire or an explosion. Other possible features including a heated sensor that gets warmer or colder as users search for objects within a game, and cool down whenever their hands get too warm or sweaty.
Sony declined to comment on the new patent.

I would actually like this. Would add that much more realism to the game and with me being a racing fan this would be great to feel when the some part of the car gets hot and you need to figure out a way to cool it down, or when it is too cold and need to heat it up.
The only thing that may be a problem is that the heating pads overheat and may melt the outer plastic or heat up the metal way to much and burn you. Metal and plastic since I dont know what the outer shell will be made of conisdering there is a heating element in it.

Would be pretty cool with gun fire , a vest would be cool if you feel the bullets hit the direction they are coming from

Total Awards: 9That actually sounds like a really good idea. But, like someone has already mentioned, what if it overheats?

Total Awards: 19I don't think they will release it until they think it's safe to do so but I also think it won't heat up a great deal it will get cool & warm only imo. Also imo they might want to use the color/colour changing control so if the control feels warm, we have to look at the control to see what grade the warmth is.

Total Awards: 15I see why it is a dumb idea. The constant heating and cooling is not good on materials such as plastic and metal thermal shock, and I see that a controller such as this would break easily, that is unless Sony has access to adamantium. I like the concept though, would be interesting I have to say but also keep in mind it may be uber expensive.
10-13-2012 #9
The idea is cool, but how many developers will use it? Common, just look at the Move right now, it's not that popular.

Total Awards: 19Consider this the baby steps into Virtual Reality & the idea about a jacket that has impact spots for FPS games it's most likely one of the steps we will experience along the way to them perfecting VR for us.
I hope so for that would be sweet
10-13-2012 #11
10-13-2012 #12
honestly ... I don't like the idea of this
First of ... just seems like a bit of a pointless feature to me xD I mean if my controller started getting hot my initiate reaction wouldn't be damn this is awesome/realistic, instead id be worried about my controller overheating (already have enough worries about that with my console)
Second of all, to get technical I just don't see how they would make this work ... like with the gun example, your gun is overheated, you wait for like 5 seconds for it too cool down, but wait your controller is still hot as @!%# and its only gonna get hotter when you continue to fire your weapon ... point is how are they gonna make the controller go from "hot" to "cold" in a matter of seconds to fit with the game?
Anyways if this is a feature I hope they will at least give us the option of turning it off, just as with vibration and motion control ^__^
10-16-2012 #13
I see what they are trying to achieve, but it isn't possible at the moment. If Sony pushed hundreds of millions into the console and controller, the price would be very high at release date and after 5/6 years would probably only reach $1000. And also it's a bit stupid, as the Playstation is designed to play games, so releasing a thermal controller which heats up to "burning my hand" temperature would be what customers wouldn't want.
What would work better is VR headsets (Virtual Reality - they already have a few models), but they cost thousands of dollars ATM..
10-16-2012 #14
it's a cool idea but they need a better material than plastic to make them out of
10-16-2012 #15
I like the part when it catches its self on fire and kills people.
Just assuming it will happen

Total Awards: 19Already said this in post #6 but I will go into a little more detail.
If this does end up happening & I hope it does happen, their plan is not to burn/freeze you, so don't be silly guys. It will give you COOL/WARM sensations through different means.
The warmth will come from a controlled electrical current, with a temperature cutoff protocol so it won't catch fire or burn you.
The coolness will come from a Element (like what's on the back of your fridge,) that'll be inside the control & will be able to cool the control in seconds.
Which brings me to the color/colour changing feature which they also patented. They will most likely use it as a way of further alerting you to the cool/warm status of your control through different color/colours.
No Light - Dormant
Blue Light - Light Use
Green Light - Regular Use
Yellow Light - Moderate Use
Orange Light - Heavy Use
Red Light - Overheated (which also starts the controls cooldown process)
This is what I think they might do from what I have read online & been told by HQ. But things can change at a moments notice & they could scrap or reinvent the whole idea. But as of this moment it's a rumour nothing more so don't stress about it.
10-16-2012 #18
I like the idea in theory, but I want to see it put to use.

10-16-2012 #20
Very interesting, I hope this happens. I'd also love if we got guns that look like the real thing
