ExecuSpeak Dictionary: IP Address
PHILADELPHIA ( MainStreet) -- There is a reason the computer geek of any good detective show makes sure we know he's got the IP address. Without that essential bit of information, we're all in the dark as to the what, when and where of the (alleged) crook's Internet activity. "IP address" is shorthand for Internet Protocol address. It is the unique address of a computer, or other machine or gadget, on the Internet.
Every device linked up to the Net has its own identifying information. Just like there are no two identical phone numbers, no two identical Social Security numbers, no two identical snowflakes, there are no two identical IP addresses for any piece of equipment connected to the Internet. It's a bold statement, and a basic truth: if it's connected to the Internet, there's an IP address.
Who assigns these numbers? Well, there are two ways numbers get assigned: by people and by machines. The tech savvy would say: static or dynamic.
"Static" is the techie's way of saying some equipment numbers never change (static as in stationary, not moving, not changing ... nothing to do with noise on the line). Some equipment numbers change depending upon circumstances, and they call that "dynamic" (as in moving, changeable ... nothing to do with levels of enthusiasm). IP addresses assigned by an administrator -- a person -- are generally static, since people are not going to want to spend their day making and recording changes. Dynamic IP addresses are generally assigned by software, and the software is keeping the records. If a computer on a private network wants to go out to the Internet, the private network's software assigns that computer a temporary address so it can search and/or send and/or receive. What about IP address conflict? If and when that happens, neither computer can get onto the Internet until the conflict is resolved. What about the future? Rumor has it that refrigerators, alarm systems and thermostats will all be hooked up to communicate with grocery stores, homeowners and property managers. GE (GE) has been testing smart refrigerators and microwaves for years now. Apple's (AAPL) iPhones and iPads increased the rate of adoption of smartphones and tablets and pads. Honeywell (HON) and others have thermostats that can be controlled remotely via the smartphones and computers. As there are more and more devices connected to the Internet, are we in danger of running out of numbers? Theoretically? Yes, but fixes are ongoing. Instead of getting involved in a discussion of IPv4 (32 bits) versus the newer IPv6 (128 bits), though, the important thing to know is that the new system has IP addresses with more numbers and the people behind the curtain are working on it. Of course this is grossly simplified, but what's under discussion is IP address and not the technology itself. Carol Heiberger is the author of ExecuSpeak Dictionary.

- Posted by sheilajoyce (My Page) on Tue, Apr 24, 07 at 19:11
Never heard of them. |
- Posted by donna_loomis (My Page) on Tue, Apr 24, 07 at 22:57
Gourmet Crochet is basically a "brand" name, like "Annie's Attic". I think Couture Crochet is just a brand name also. |
thanks donna. if you find out anything else about either one of these. i will be interested in finding out...agin thank you lois.... |
- Posted by donna_loomis (My Page) on Wed, Apr 25, 07 at 15:42
Lois, not sure what specifically you want to know. I have a couple of Gourmet Crochet patterns, if you are interested. One is for a topsy turvey doll, another for a rather ugly (in my opinion) doll, and another is for cupcakes - which looks almost good enough to eat. |
donna i would like to try them only if you have the time to email me the patterns i really don't wont to be a bother. but thank you sooooo much for answering my question... lois |
- Posted by donna_loomis (My Page) on Wed, Apr 25, 07 at 21:49
Lois, I'd be happy to send you the pattern. Email at home is erratic at the moment - I seem to be able to send, but receiving is sometimes tricky. We're working with our provider to determine the problem. You can try sending me an email at home (firstname.lastname@example.com) with Gourmet Crochet in the subject line and if I get it I'll send you the patterns. Or you can sen me an email at work (firstname.lastname@example.com) and when I get in tomorrow I'll get them to you. Or you can post your email here for me to find when I check in later tonight. |
sure donna, my email is firstname.lastname@example.com thanks.. lois |
never heard of Gourmet Crochet but Couture Crochet is the name of one of Lily Chin's books (I received a copy for a Xmas gift). Couture usually means high-end fashion, one of a kind, custom-fitted, specially made, etc. A French fashion term. |
profsusan..i just ordered the book ...can't wait to get it...oh my email address is firstname.lastname@example.com you come across the wedding gown pattern thanks again....lois |

We pretty much live the same life 20 years old, childhood education major, dancer, and believes in the magic of Disney. This is our second trip to the world together and definitely not the last! Favorite Theme Park: Magic Kingdom Favorite Meal of the Trip: Ohana Favorite Snack of the Trip: Cinnamon roll Favorite Ride: tour of terror Favorite Disney Characters: Belle Alicia http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/...ps40d70b8e.jpg This trip is brought to you by her, there would have been no operation classy living without her. She is currently a cast member working in the costume shop at the magic kingdom. Its always a good time when Alicia is around! Favorite Theme Park: MGM Favorite Meal of the Trip: San Angel Inn Favorite Snacks of the Trip: Mickey Premium Bar Favorite Ride: Tower of Terror Favorite Disney Characters: Rapunzel/Pluto/Minnie Mouse Andy http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/..._8109730_n.jpg Andy is alicias fiancé and has been forced into the Disney scene.

Staying at the classiest resort on property the Gflo aka Grand Floridian http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/...52954920_n.jpg Why: This trip was planned in September 2011. It started when Alicia asked me to do the dcp with her. I talked Brittany into doing it and went to the dcp meeting at Niagara University. Sadly because our tight school schedule we were unable to apply for Fall 2012. So instead we planned a trip to visit Alicia and go to Mickeys not so scary Halloween party! And will have to wait till Fall 2014 to do the dcp. |
The day before consisted of going to classes to get an education and let me tell you my mind was not up for learning. It was all for thinking about Disney! When I got home I was running around like a mad person making sure I had everything I needed. Once I finished packing I did my nails festive while I waited for Brittany to come over. http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/...7/IMG_0318.jpg Brittany arrived around 9pm with her big suitcase that could hold enough for a family of four. That being said it was over weight and being a nice friend I put some of her stuff in my suitcase. http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/...7/IMG_3875.jpg Andy arrived shortly after but staid in the back room and called it a night. While waiting for Chelsea to arrive Brittany decided to try on her halloween costume. http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/...7/IMG_3878.jpg http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/...7/IMG_3879.jpg After all the fun and excitement over the halloween costume we decided to get down to business and made a scavenger hunt we could do when we were down there. Lets just say it didn't work all that well! Chelsea ended up arriving at around 11pm. We got settled down and called it a night. http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/...7/IMG_3876.jpg I was way to excited to sleep, DISNEY WORLD tomorrow! Brittany and me ended up talking till the wee hours of the morning, which was probably not a good idea since we had to be up bright and early. DISNEY TOMORROW MORNING!:yay: 3:45am comes early! |
Yeah!!! Looking forward to following along.
We had the honor of meeting Alicia and having dinner with her one evening last month while we were at WDW. Can't wait to read your trip report after having followed along with Alicia's tweets during the recent adventure. |
Hi there :) Joining in..I've read your sister's trip reports and follow her on Instagram. Looking forward to you POV!! -Amanda :cutie:
Sign me up Sam! I'm in and looking forward to your TR!
Thanks for following along! :goodvibes She told me all about your dinner together, how nice your were, and how good the food was. I told her to actually write this trip report but she said she was to busy, so hopefully I can do this somewhat as good as her Quote:
Thanks for joining along :thumbsup2 Quote:
:wave2: Hi there! Welcome and thanks for joining |
Sounds like fun. Coming along for the ride.
At 3:30am SpectroMagic was going off, time to wake up! :yay: Just kidding hit that snooze button, SpectroMagic played once again at 3:45 http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/...7/IMG_0320.png We all got up and got ready for our adventure. My father was kind enough to take us to the airport on his way to work. We all crammed into the car and headed to the airport at 4:30 We checked our bags and went threw security, where I was asked how old I was. Um 20, forever a child! :rotfl: Once we got threw security we waited at the gate for a good 40 mins. I watched bosox2001 videos on youtube because they are my favorite disney videos to watch & I'm in love with that family, Brittany caught up on Greys & some sleep http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/...50134266_n.jpg And Andy was ready to be in Orlando http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/...73934926_n.jpg After a long wait we finally boarded, Chelsea didn't end up sitting near us because she purchased her ticket separately. Me Brittany and Andy sat near the back of the plane and let me tell you it smelled like poopy diapers. Didnt we leave the daycare for a week? Gross :crazy2: We arrived late to JFK, which made us almost late for our connecting flight to Orlando. There was a family who sat behind us who were also going to Disney and was freaking out thinking they were going to miss the connecting flight. The father booked it to the other gate once he got off the plane, while running his daughter took a major wipe out, but he was still running and didn't realize he was missing a child. Really?!:confused3 Well we all made it onto the flight with time to spare, no need to lose a child. This flight consisted of ma and Brittany getting all our homework done. No homework in Disney! The good thing was our flight landed early which meant we arrived earlier than planned! http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/...7/IMG_0554.jpg We took the ever so classy Magical Express to the Classiest Resort on property http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/...7/IMG_0324.jpg We were lucky enough to be in line first which meant front row on the Magical Express!!! http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/...46147327_n.jpg http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/...89971776_n.jpg On our way there Alicia was texting me asking if I would be able to capture the moment on video of her attacking andy when we arrived. And of course I did (I just have to start getting on making the video) We soon went under the beautiful arch http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/...42594258_n.jpg Which I tweeted: Im Home!!! Then we found ourselves at another beautiful site. Although it was in the works of being changed to blue. http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/...IMG_0328-1.jpg The first stop was Wilderness Lodge, my dream resort! So beautiful My parents staid there when they visited Alicia in September, so jealous The second stop was the contemporary and then the Polynesian. I was ready to get off the bus when we stopped here. I remember texting Alicia how sad I was that we were not staying there. Just means we have to stay there next time :thumbsup2 The last stop was the GLFO! Our home for the next 6 days http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/...83133645_n.jpg http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/...88483104_n.jpg |

Great start! I am so jealous y'all are staying at the GF! I can't wait until they finish the DVC resort so DW and I can use our points there. C'mon now...post more updates...don't keep your readers waiting. :rotfl2:
Hey Sam, Great update. Eww, that sucks you had to sit in the smelly section of the plane. :sad2: I like that picture of Andy, he looks so cute just staring out of the window :rotfl2: Looking forward to more pics of the Grand Floridian. -Amanda
Thanks for joining along! :goodvibes The Gflo is so beautiful! I'm glad we got to stay there Quote:
Oh the Grand Floridian what a beautiful place. At first I was not up for staying here because I believed it was a place for snobs, not the case. When we pulled in I could not believe that we were going to call this place home. We got off the Magical Express so fast and made our way inside. We didnt even get into the lobby when Alicia decided to attack Andrew. How precious :rotfl: Alicia was kind enough to check us in and check out the room before we arrived. She led us to our room while we all took in the beauty http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/...7/IMG_0331.jpg Our room was located in Sago Cay, the building location was wonderful a nice short walk to the bus stop and the main building. Plus you had a perfect view of the castle! Our room was located on the third floor, the elevators were also very classy! We reached our room and I was excited to see that we got the new key to the world cards and the knew doors where you just tap your key on the door to unlock it. http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/...03655623_n.jpg When you first walk in there is a small hallway http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/...47925932_n.jpg to the left was the closest that had the safe and some classy robes http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/...88290678_n.jpg To the right was the bathroom area http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/...84073662_n.jpg onto the bedroom, so much more room than the allstars! :rotfl: http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/...24276906_n.jpg http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/...90172535_n.jpg http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/...18030682_n.jpg Our porch and view http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/...14668989_n.jpg http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/...30561211_n.jpg Once we took in the beauty of the room we decided to go exploring and get our refillable mugs. We got lost on the way http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/...35712950_n.jpg The quick service was changed to Mizner's Lounge in the main building. While making our way there I spotted Miss Lynn. For those of you who might not know her here is her story Miss Lynn hangs out in the lobby of the grand Floridian with her teddy bears. In earlier years her and her husband would hand out teddy bears to children at the Grand Floridian. Her sister has said that the Grand Floridian was her and her late husbands favorite spot. They would both visit together and enjoy the music. Lynn is very well known to the cast members and enjoys making conversation with them. Anyways once we got our mugs we went back to the room to get ready to get to the parks! |

"Tax avoidance" teacher unable to avoid years in prison
Students who paid Daniel Doyle Benham for classes may want their money back. In fact, they may want to use it to pay their overdue taxes. Benham, of Twin Lake, Michigan, taught seminars on how to avoid paying taxes – or he did until the Justice Department filed an injunction against him, forcing him to stop. Authorities say Benham failed to file tax returns on $450,000 of income in 2000-2003. The money was earned working for auto dealerships in Muskegon and Traverse City, and also from fees he received for presenting seminars on taxes and bankruptcy.

AICPA tax expert reacts to the Stimulus Bill
With all the nay-saying about the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, at least one AICPA tax expert finds it … well, stimulating. Tom Ochsenschlager is still reading through the nearly 1,100 pages, but he sees some items for individuals and for business which he predicts will have real power to boost the economy. And, he adds, there are also reasons for CPAs to be optimistic about new business coming their way because of the bill. The list of items in the spending plan is long, and by now, well publicized.

Long and winding path to tax relief for Madoff victims
Victims of the alleged Ponzi scheme operated by Bernard Madoff may recoup some of their investment by claiming the fraud loss as an offset to ordinary income in the year of discovery and through amended returns in previous years. But with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) not expected to issue guidance before April 15th of this year, and court rulings that are based often on individual circumstances, Madoff victims should not expect relief any time soon.

Bounty hunter Duane "Dog" Chapman hounded by the IRS

Who gets what in the Stimulus Bill?
A lot of people get a little bit. Some, like certain home buyers or car buyers get more than a little. Some projects that do seem related to stimulating the economy get billions, and they may hold the power to create or protect jobs. And some programs that are not related to economic stimulus but do represent Democrat wish lists items are promoted and enhanced. The official name is the Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, passed by a partisan vote on February 13th. The signing of the bill into law was delayed until Tuesday, February 17th for the holiday weekend.

Castroneves court requests denied, tax trial will begin in March
Brazilian racecar driver Helio Castroneves was in court again in early February and yet another hearing will take place on February 16th.

Unfortunately for them, the federal judge wasn't buying their arguments, and the March 2nd trial will proceed as planned. Castroneves is accused of carrying out various schemes designed to evade the taxes on $5,550,000 in fees he earned for racing and for the use of his name in endorsements in 1999-2002.

For Daschle, it was a short drive from tax problems to political oblivion
The story is becoming sadly familiar. On January 2, 2009 Tom Daschle rushed to file amended tax returns for 2005, 2006, and 2007, and pay $128,203 in unpaid taxes plus $11,964 in interest. There was no mention of penalties. Why the rush? The 61-year-old former U.S. Senator from South Dakota was nominated to fill a post in the Obama cabinet, as the head of Health and Human Services as well as a newly created post, the head of the White House Office on Health Reform.

AMT patch is attached to Senate version of new stimulus bill
The Senate Finance Committee on January 27 approved its portion of an $825 billion economic stimulus bill, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Bill of 2009, and potentially boosted the total cost to nearly $900 billion after agreeing to include a one-year patch for the alternative minimum tax (AMT) for the 2009 tax year. Senator Max Baucus, (D-Mont), chairman of the committee, included the AMT patch in the face of Republican complaints that the package contains too much spending and not enough tax cuts, CCH reports. The final committee vote was 14 to 9.

Modest yet stylish corner storefront, where the air is heavily scented with cumin and cardamom. Carnivores show up for grilled marinated meats over basmati rice. Neighborhood vegetarians hanker for eggplant borani and delicate, ravioli-like ashak.
2301 N. 45th St.
Seattle, WA 98103
Tamarind Tree, while embracing all comers, clearly has its landsmen at heart. They come to sip lemongrass martinis or sweet and salty sodas and bask in the papaya-colored glow of great food at bargain prices. The long, annotated menu stars such familiar dishes as pho and salad rolls along with the more exotic: pickled bon bon salad and turmeric coconut rice cake, dill-strewn Thang Long yellow fish and housemade padania-leaf ice cream. Bo 7 mon is a carnivore's dream: seven courses of beef priced at less than $20 for two. Open daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
1036 S. Jackson St., Suite A
Seattle, WA 98104
Habesha captivates with its attractive room adorned with native art and basketry, intriguing food, intoxicating smells and gracious service. All contribute to a sensual, satisfying dining experience. Open for lunch and dinner.
1809 Minor Ave.
Seattle, WA 98101
Send your five senses on a trip to Tangier, minus the jet lag and the hefty price tag. Diners sit on sofas and hassocks at low brass tables in a room that feels like a plush, upholstered tent. A la carte entrees range from $12.50 for couscous to $16 for a salmon tagine or feast on a five-course meal for just $25 each. Start with vibrant salads or b'stilla, delicate phyllo pastry stuffed with chicken, almonds and egg and dusted with cinnamon and powdered sugar. Notable entrees include lamb with prunes, Cornish hen with preserved lemon and olives, and chicken with apricots. Do as the Moroccans do and scoop up morsels of food with your fingers and bread, or ask for a fork. Quaff mint tea or a bottle of Moroccan wine. Belly dancers entertain Thursdays through Saturdays. Reviewed 7/15/05. Open for dinner.
1471 N.W. 85th St.
Seattle, WA 98117
A cozy bar and lounge, private-dining suite and jazz soundtrack help bring to mind a neighborhood bistro. Expect fine-dining touches like linen napery, elegant tableware, top-shelf booze and a temperature-controlled wine room, as well as specialties like Bai Pai Noodles, tea-smoked salmon and Mussaman curry lamb chops. Open for lunch and dinner.
2316 N.E. 65th St.
Suite 101
Seattle, WA 98115
The food at this rustic trattoria woos -- and wows -- with straightforward charm. Bracing antipasti are followed by handmade pastas moistened with broth, butter or simple meat ragus. Roasted vegetables, meat and game are unencumbered by heavy sauces. Piedmont wines are a perfect match. Communal tables foster a convivial atmosphere. Open for dinner daily.

Seattle, WA 98121
I double-dog-dare you to kick back at this Belltown funhouse, where you can belly up to the bar for a dog snack and some suds, joining the plethora of punk rockers and pinball wizards who know a great hangout when they hang there. Named to honor owner Martha Manwaring's wiener dog, Shorty, and her favorite hometown hot dog, the Coney, Shorty's Coney Island never comes up short in the good-times department. Order at the diner-style counter, then grab a booth whose tabletop is a vintage pinball machine. The hard-core grab a pint of Pabst ($2), then retreat to the dark recesses of Pinball Cove.
Shorty's proudly sells organic frozen entrees microwaved for your pleasure ($3.25-$6.75), but I suggest letting your appetite go to the dogs. Particularly if it's a Chili Cheese Bigtop ($4), a snappy tube of Vienna Beef whose chili wins big for its heat-and-meat quotient. The Chicago-style dog ($3) is a serviceable selection, but my paws-down winner is the Spicy Pepper Cheese Dog ($3.25), the cheese-steak lover's answer to a hot dog (thanks to a hefty hit of Mama Lil's peppers and a full complement of melted "cheese dribble").
2222 Second Ave.
Seattle, WA 98121-2017
Fine-dining aficionados tired of loud, trendy hipster haunts should revisit Philip Mihalski's gracious Green Lake restaurant. The setting is gracious, the staff fluent in their roles, and Mihalski's tantalizing contemporary American menu offers food — from venison to calf's liver to wild arctic char — prepared with nuance and verve.
6804 E. Green Lake Way N.
Seattle, WA 98115
Swashbuckling comfort food draws a well-dressed clientele to this elegant, art-filled dining room and lounge. Wild mushrooms fill pastry and flavor fresh pasta; osso buco is made with pork shank; halibut is sauced with pesto; and crispy garlic chicken is a perennial fave. Lunch served weekdays; dinner daily. Bar menu available.
10213 Main St.
Bellevue, WA 98004
The honky-tonk seaside setting sets just the right mood for the sassy Cajun seafood boils that are the specialty here. Heaps of crawdads, shrimp, lobster or crab come slathered in a fragrant red stew of herbs and spices. Gumbo, jambalaya and fried seafood platters are also worth a try.
725 S. Lane St.
Seattle, WA 98104
The best of the upscale vegan dishes -- the tempeh burger, collard greens, fried okra and Mama Africa salad -- deftly combine smoke, heat and sassy Cajun/Jamaican spice. Candles, flowers and elegant glassware (for vegan wine and beer) soften the setting.
1429 12th Ave.
Seattle, WA 98122-3905
La Spiga's new digs make it less an osteria than an Oh!-steria. Once a homey little hangout known for piadina, fresh pasta and other specialties of Emilia-Romagna, it now resembles a chic chalet at a hip ski resort, with a patio, a view of Seattle's cityscape and some big-time bar action. Treat yourself to pasta fresca (gnocchi, tortelli, lasagna, tagliatelle), wild boar, ripe formaggi and vino from a vast library of Italian labels.

Seattle, WA 98122
Felix and Sarah Penn, the talented pair behind Pair, dish up respectful riffs on American classics at this romantic homage to East Coast oyster houses of yore. Standouts include deviled eggs, oysters Rockefeller, lobster rolls, steaks, pasta and a terrific pork chop.
2616 N.E. 55th St.
Seattle, WA 98105
2400 Queen Anne Ave. N.
Seattle, WA 98109
The Italian repertoire is familiar, but regulars are drawn just as much by the romantic setting, the ministrations of an engaging staff and the sheer force of the owner's personality. Sharing a salad and pasta will keep the price down, but spaghetti pescatore and bistecca Romana are splurge-worthy. End with terrific tiramisu. Open for dinner; closed Sunday.
15217 21st Ave. S.W.
Seattle, WA 98166
You may have already tried Cupcake Royale's colorful cupcakes, but their retail cafes in Madrona and Ballard also serve superb panini sandwiches, like an exemplary turkey with pesto, Swiss cheese, Mama Lil's peppers and lightly wilted spinach. The irresistible cupcakes come in chocolate and vanilla with a variety of frostings (the chocolate with mint frosting is a winner), and seasonal cupcakes are introduced regularly. Good loose-leaf tea service, too.

This Big Easy-inspired brasserie tilts toward excess: seven different eggs Benedict at breakfast plus crawfish étouffée, beignets and pain perdu; po'boys and other sandwiches at lunch augment a roster that includes most of the soups, salads, charcuterie, meats and seafood served at dinner when prime steaks are also featured. Breakfast, lunch, dinner daily.

Seattle, WA 98109-4013
Chain restaurants everywhere attempt to remind us why we loved those Old Scuola spaghetti houses. But now, thanks to Perché, we have something so much better. This is the happy home of housemade pastas (from gnocchi to gemelli, capellini to squid-ink fettucine), deliciously and judiciously sauced, plus a wide world of wines: 300 by the bottle, 50 by the glass. Bargain hunters take heed. When you find yourself considering a second visit in a week, there's only one answer: "Perché no?" (Why not?) Open for lunch and dinner.

Olivia Wilde Hits the City Streets With Her Brother and Her Dog
Olivia Wilde joined her brother, Charlie Cockburn, for a walk in NYC yesterday. The brother-sister duo brought Olivia's beloved dog, Paco, along for the outing. Olivia's family walk brought a change of pace for the actress, who's fresh off a California visit with her fiancé, Jason Sudeikis, that included a stop at Disneyland. Olivia will keep NYC walks on her schedule, though, since it was announced she will team up with Emma Stone to cohost the 20th annual Revlon Run/Walk For Women in the Big Apple on May 4. SNL star Jason may join Olivia for the five-kilometer race, while a pregnant Halle Berry is set to host the fundraiser for the seventh straight time in LA the following weekend on May 11.

Italian food fight
POSTED: Monday, February 20, 2012 - 11:00pm
UPDATED: Monday, February 20, 2012 - 11:04pm
Ivrea, Italy (NBC NEWS) — A city in Northern Italy got into an epic food fight on Sunday.
Hundreds of people came out to Ivrea, Italy to re-enact the "Battle of the Oranges." People wearing medieval costumes pelted each other with oranges.
For the event, 500 tons of oranges are shipped from Sicily to the region.
Tradition says that in the 1930's local girls would throw oranges from their balconies to grab the attention of boys.

I came across an intriguing paper (T Sela and A Vigalok, Org Lett, 2014, 16, 1964) where the authors investigated a number of reactions 'on water' and compared them when conducted 'on liquids' to ascertain if there was a particular attribute that water brought to the chemistry.

Designed in Switzerland in the 1970s and refined in Italy, the Figurella weight-loss method is a natural way for women to get in shape all over the world. The program combines exercise inside a transparent dome called the Bubble to reshape specific body areas and oxygen baths inside the SpaShell to accelerate fat metabolism, improve circulation, and hydrate skin. In addition, clients will get dietary advice that is personalized to their body, lifestyle, and fitness goals. A team of health professionals supports each Figurella client with the knowledge necessary to help each individual.
Health and beauty go hand-in-hand at Prana Health. Here, the staff combat signs of aging with everything from oxy-reveillance facials to Botox injections and RejuvaPen treatments, the latter of which help to stimulate collagen production for tighter, smoother skin. To help patients reach and maintain a healthy weight, the staff can also create custom weight-loss programs, monitor vitamin B12 injections, or offer nutritional counseling. Meanwhile varicose and spider veins can be treated with sclerotherapy, an injectible salt solution that forces the veins to gradually fade away, like a reality star's singing career.
When the first Dermatone Skin Rejuvenation Center opened in downtown Miami in November 2010, it aimed to help clients rejuvenate their youth and embrace their outer aesthetics. Today, the franchise still relies on carefully selected treatments designed to erase years off their clients' appearances. Dermatone Skin Rejuvenation Center's licensed technicians and nurses wield FDA-certified radio-frequency generators for skin-tightening treatments that seek to mitigate stretch marks and cellulite. The therapeutic, deep-seeking heat massages existing collagen and promotes the production of new collagen in hopes of firmer skin surfaces. The clinic and its aestheticians, however, don't only offer this treatment. Led by Dr. Isaacs, MD, who has extensive training in advanced cosmetic medicine techniques, the staff specializes in performing Botox, Dysport, Radiesse, Restylane, Radiesse, medical-grade chemical peels, vein treatments, and skin care treatments. They also present a slate of facials designed with essential oils, clay masks, and vitamin C. Additionally, their weight-loss program uses vitamin injections, recipe books, and freezing one's snacks in a block of ice to help people look and feel better.

What's the most radical physical transformation you've seen a client make?
The most radical physical transformation I've ever seen was when one of my campers drastically lost more than 122 pounds in one calendar year.
Sweating to the oldies is acceptable, but sweating to the blues less so. Do you find that certain styles and genres of music generate more intense workouts?
Yes, the music and energy is key. Great music?along with the positive energy of the camp?can change a person's physical and mental state and cause the endorphins to flow.
GNC sells a wide variety of supplements (vitamin and mineral and herbal) and other health products (sports nutrition, diet, energy, body care, and more). You're sure to find something right for you, such as Ginkgo biloba capsules or that box of SuperFoods Supreme you wish for every Groundhog Day.
Using an unconventional process touted by media outlets such as Fox News, The Sadkhin Complex focuses on helping clients lose excess weight by addressing their hunger at its source. More than 20 years of development have formed the Sadkhin Method, the company's natural, drug-free, and non-invasive approach to weight loss.
At its source, the program blends health coaching and nutritional planning with acupressure-influenced patented chrono-stimulation therapy. Using small chrome spheres placed at specific pressure points behind the client's ears, certified Sadkhin practitioners aim to stimulate the hypothalamus—the part of the brain that controls hunger—which can also help you quit envisioning your best friend as a giant slice of pie.
To help clients extend the benefits of this treatment for the long term, the specialists also prescribe an eating plan based on natural foods, which helps synchronize organ function and balance internal systems.

Hire a brand new offensive coordinator and hand over the rains, no questions asked. This is the only way WM is going to be successful. My opinion is hand the entire offense over to Kerwin Bell and let him run with it.
Agreed. The only thing WM needs to tell his offensive coordinator, go get me at least 25-30 points a game. I don't care how you do it, just do it, and I will handle the D.
Zook was fired after 33 games as HBC, and today was Muschamp's 33rd game. I'm not saying fire him, I'm just asking, what does Foley do now?
Hadn't Machen already been hired at that point? If he was, it made the firing of Zook a fait acompli. I don't think JF acted without that plan in mind and pretty much in place.
WM can't hire the kind of OC people seem to want, because the way he wants to play is the way they are playing. I'm sure he wishes they would play better, but the philosophy is what WM believes. Shorten the game, take few chances, win by not giving the other team a opportunities to score. Asking him to change that would mean changing what he believes football to be about, and I can't expect him to do that. If you want the offense changed, you have to be willing to change the top.
Sounds like a great idea...after misfiring with the Weis and Pease hires, what better way to rectify things by hiring a guy who coaches at Jacksonville University. What could possibly go wrong?
Agreed. Zook was fired the day machen walked through the door. They were just waiting for the opportunity, and couldn't do it after the Robbery at Rocky Top, or the last minute win against the defending MNCs. Miss State was manna from heaven.
I'm on the fence on Pease. This offense has no identity and I'm not sure SOS could scheme behind this OLine.
WM is a control freak and more stubborn than my wife. No way he hands over control of half the team, even if he does hire a new OC. Which begs the question, what prominent OC would even be willing to work under Muschamp?
I wouldn't exactly call the pieces he has "NFL Ready". Despite the thoughts of some on here, no scheme would have been executed by our turnstile o-Line. I do think he's canned this offseason.
I just don't know what to think about WM anymore! Like others have said he's to stubborn to change anything on offense. Anyone who thinks having a better o-line will fix everything is crazy. With the scheme we run good teams will be able to slow us down enough to keep the games close. Not wanting to go down field is hurting us and that won't change cause Muschamp don't want big plays cause it puts his precious defense back on the field to quickly. We will always run a ding and dunk offense with WM as our HC. The only way he will be successful is to tweak his offense to 2013 and not the 50's & 60's. And we all know that's not going to happen. He will be gone by this time next year in my opinion.

Bournemouth's congested Castle Lane to get cycle lanes
A £650,000-scheme to aid cycling, walking and bus travel on a congested Bournemouth route will be complete by September, the council there has said.
The work on Castle Lane West, yet to get under way, will include cycle lanes separating bikes from traffic.
The area between Broadway and Yeomans Way roundabouts will see work, and a cycle bypass will also be installed at East Way junction.
The scheme is being funded by central government.

sunstreakingcold commented on the blog post Bloomberg: Blame Congress for the Housing Bubble
WTF is this guy thinking/drinking? Oecume, you hit the nail on the head! The banks encouraged the independent mortgage brokers to lend anything to anybody (which they were more than happy to do for the fees), securitized those loans with the right hand and took those same vehicles short on the left hand (a la G & S). Like the Duke brothers in Trading Places: "Tell him the good part, Randall"!!! Win or lose, the banks won. Even when THEY lost!
Actually, this is a good thing. When somebody as financially successful as His Honor comes out spouting this garbage, it's obvious those in power want us looking the other way and are nervouse we're not. Real subtle, Mikey!
sunstreakingcold commented on the blog post Rep. Gabby Giffords and Six Others Have Died In Tuscon Shooting (UPDATE: AZ Sheriff Dupnick Says Giffords Still Alive)
I agree with azcupcake (74): look at TBOGG's post today where he quotes Townhall.com post from September addressing "the 20″: "…Sarah Palin has a target on every single one", "targets", "Gabrielle Giffords", "…knocking off the politicians…". If I stood on a corner in D.C. and shouted that we should TARGET every Republican that voted against -fill in the blank issue- and KNOCK THEM OFF, there'd be a traffic jam of federal agencies rushing to arrest me! These right wing, hate-mongers will wrap themselves in the 1st Amendment when it comes to their obligation to speak responsibly. But you or I would be arrested for the same behavior! http://townhall.com/tipsheet/JillianBandes/2010/09/27/sarah_palins_take_back_20

Palin's website is down. The map is gone. That explanation will be interesting….
And where is POTUS, the leader of Gifford's party? Boehner's already released a press statement. WTF?

I am making a very unexpected trip to Houston tomorrow (Friday 4/26). Is there any place (nursery or individual) I can visit to buy plumeria? Thanks. Joan |
Follow-Up Postings:
Well, for my money, I can't think of a better place to go than to Seabrook to see Emerson and Nan Willis, aka Nan and The Plumeria Man. I know it's out of the way, but they do have the most wonderful plumeria! Link below. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Emerson's Plumerias

Barbara Randall is in Friendswood, she has the best plants at the best prices, but is small compaired to Emmerson. She is my favorite seller. Barbra |
- Posted by jwhite2947 7b (My Page) on Fri, Apr 26, 13 at 21:56
Thanks for the information. I tried to reach Emmerson but was unable to and didn't see the second post until too late. We were only in Houston for a few hours today. I might get to come back in June for the sale. I hope so. Joan |
- Posted by honeybunny2 Z9TX (My Page) on Sat, Apr 27, 13 at 10:24
Joan, Barbara was Emmerson's mentor, per his wife Nancy. She told me this at the PSA sale in Fort Bend. I bought 2 plants from her at the sale, sent one to Andrew. My plant had such a great root system, she rooted it a few months prior. I don't know about Andrews plant, but I know he was very pleased when he got it. I live in San Antonio, and Andrew lives in New York. If you want her email address, send me an email and I will give it to you. Barbra |
- Posted by beachplant 9b (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Thu, May 2, 13 at 15:00
call me next time you come down this way. I think Emerson was still in Florida in April, I think he usually comes home the end of April, first of May. He lives 2 blocks from my brother. Larry, who has a lot of thai hybrids and Mardi Gras is a couple of miles from Emerson. Paula is up in League City, Becky in LaMarque...most of the growers at the sale in June live in our area. Tally HO! |
- Posted by jwhite2947 7b (My Page) on Thu, May 2, 13 at 18:03
Thanks. Hopefully I will know earlier so I can make contact before we head toward Houston next time. My sister who lives in Lufkin is ill. Last week we took my mom down to visit her. While they were visiting we took a quick trip to Houston. I appreciate the information in case we make another trip in the near future. Joan |

Hi - my first post. Is Emerson still selling plumerias? We are taking a trip to Galveston this weekend and I was hoping to stop by. His website seems to be down. |
Last time I was at his place in June he still had a yard full but he said he was not rooting anymore and will sell off what he has got. |
- Posted by broadscott none (My Page) on Tue, May 6, 14 at 7:41
What a shame. It seems like he was the go to man! How do you get in contact with him to organize a visit? |

Rate Dr. Benjamin H. Venger
Dr. Benjamin H. Venger's Ratings
I've been seeing Dr Venger for several years. He takes the time to listen to you, and being a former neuro surgeon, he's seen more than other pain doctors. Some doctors just hand out pills, not there, you sign a pain contract, and get drug tests regularly. He does the medical cannabis certifications for Arizona ADHS. This has helped myself and other patients to reduce, or stop taking opioids in favor of medical cannabis. The bad, there is a high turnover of office staff, so the who cares factor is sometimes high. If nothing has changed, even if you have an appointment, anyone who signs in ahead of you, gets seen ahead of you. The doctors are great, so if you don't mind waiting......

Dr. Venger is a pain management specialist and former neurosurgeon. If you're looking for a "Doctor Feelgood" that will load you up on pain meds, keep looking. Venger will give you the meds you need, but his approach is to actively pursue the source of your pain and treat that. The goal is to eliminate the source, not just mask it with drugs. Unfortunately, can't say the same about some of the other pain management guys in the area. I've been going to him for about 4 months now. So far I'm very impressed with him. He listens - doesn't just pass you off to an assistant. New facilities (nice) and a great staff. Have recommended him to others and they feel the same. Wish there were more doctors like him..!!

Great pain doc, doesn't just give pain pills, but tries to use other treatments. He thinks medical marijuana can help patients, and writes Arizona Medical Marijuana certifications for his patients. I have cut my opioid pain meds by more than half using medical marijuana, and after being disabled for 20 years, returned to work part time. If your looking for a good pain doctor, he really cares about his patients.

Really A great doctor!! He performed surgery on my mother and I had many questions for him. He answered everything I asked concerning her. My mom is doing great now!! Dr. Venger has truly been a blessing to my mother and family.

A neighbor recommended Dr. Venger to me. I was at the end of my rope and in so much back pain from a traffic accident that left me twisted and really in agony. Being afraid of any additional new pains I was comforted to learn from Dr. Venger of his nerve block procedures and the subsequent wonderful relief I felt after my pain injections. He is caring and understanding and when need be I will make the trip back to his office.

I've found Dr Venger is not very knowledgable with Pain Management. He's given my husband the shots in his spine with no results, even when being guided by his associate Dr. Kane. He's not certified with BCBS, so billing is a problem. I find he doesn't follow thru, I've been waiting for an MRI for 4 months. I cannot tell if he knows about Nerosurgery because I would not trust him to work on me. He's not very knowledgeable in Pain Management.

I was 100% incaoacitated and flat on my back for two weeks. They had to wheel me into Dr Venger's office on a gurney. Dr. Venger took one look at me and had me taken to Sunrise Hospital immediately where he operated on me the next mirning as an emergency. After mnot beoing able to walk or even get out of bed for two weeks prior, I walked out of the hospital on my on my own the very next day after surgery. As far as I am concerned, Dr. Venger performed a miracle for me. I couldn't have been haopier with any doctor.

Dr. Venger proposed needless Carpal Tunnel Surgery on my hands when I consulted with him regrarding my degenerative disc disease in my neck. He based his opinion on incorrect information from a geral practicioner. He also wrote false information into the medical records. I am grateful I did not have surgery performed by him. His primary interst is profit, not the patient's health.

This Doctor is the best. He has been voted by other Physisian in Clark Co Nevada as the MD they would seek out to handle their nuerosurgery. Dr Venger has perform two seperate surgeries on my cervical spine one in '94 and a diferrent issue in 2000. Both operations were successful and I'm still pain free in 2009. This man restored my mobility and pain free life. Dr Venger is a God sent.

While last week was filled with Norse mythology, bullet hell, and zombie killings, players will have their hands filled with team-based shooting in a flooded Earth, some hack-and-slash in a medieval time, and block breaking in a pirate-heavy universe. Brink leads the charge and will be out for the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. The first-person shooter has the Resistance and Security factions fighting it out in a floating city called The Ark. The game lets players either take the fight online with other players or play through the single-player mode with bots. Brink's main feature is the SMART (smooth movement across random terrain) System, which allows for smooth navigation without any tricky inputs. Brink will be on local shelves tomorrow.
Up next is The First Templar for both the PC and Xbox 360. This action role-playing game tells the story of a French Templar knight and his quest to uncover an overarching conspiracy within the Templar Order. The game features multiplayer co-op modes and a single-player campaign that gives players the opportunity to switch between two different characters with varied play styles. Gamers can look forward to traversing in the Dark Ages tomorrow.
Capping off this week is the Lego-fied iteration of Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean. This action title includes the swashbuckling pirate-laced essence from the famous trilogy of movies while also putting in the all-ages charm of the Lego video game franchises players can find in the Lego Star Wars and Lego Indiana Jones games. Lego Pirates of the Caribbean will be out tomorrow and will be on all major consoles.

VR Cinema 3D for Oculus Rift Gives You Your Own Theater, Seats Included
My brain hates first-person games, so most of the stuff I've read and seen about the Oculus Rift don't really interest me. But I'd be willing to buy the Rift just for Joo-Hyung Ahn's VR Cinema 3D. It's an app for the Rift that lets you watch videos in 3D while you're inside a virtual movie theater.
As Ben Kuchera described at the Penny-Arcade Report, VR Cinema 3D doesn't just let you watch videos on an enormous 3D screen. It lets you move around the theater. You can change seats and perhaps even faff about, fall asleep and ignore the movie altogether. The way Kuchera describes it, Joo Hyung-An seems to have captured the perspective of being in a cinema so well: your perspective of the screen changes accordingly when you move around, and the theater is believably dark and spacious. It's a happy place for introverts and claustrophobes.
Those of you who have a development unit of the Rift can use VR Cinema 3D for free. Head to Joo Hyung-An's website and click on the 'Projects' header to see the download link.

Monopoly has been around for nearly one hundred years, and in the past 20 or so, a number of spoof versions have cropped up, with Memeopoly by Chris Olivieri being one of the most entertaining I've encountered.
Trading New York or London properties for internet content controversy, this information-age edition of the capitalist board game captures the essence of many peoples' contemporary priorities.
The pastime places the faces of online personalities, from Antoine Dodson and Rickrolling Rick Astley to the Pedobear and that cat that's really good on the keyboard. Milhouse from The Simpsons guards the Community Chest, and altogether, Urlesque.com's Memeopoly prices each persona, because viral material on the Internet is where big bucks can be made these days.

India: Violent attacks and cases of moral policing in Karnataka
On the 7th and 8th of March, there are two big public events being planned in Bangalore in response to the attacks.
People who are in Bangalore, for the love of every last chaddi, participate and organise events around the 7th and 8th. We need the events to be big and scary. I think that as many people as can manage should go to Bangalore on these two days. This is really no time to reserve our troops and what is happening right now is war. Buy cheap tickets, come to Bangalore.
Watch this space. We will be posting things you can do to get involved to protest the attacks on women in Karnataka.
1. Join the walk to the Police Commissioner's Office on March 7, 2009. More details soon.
2. Join the massive Take Back The Night campaign on March 8, 2009.
3. Join the campaign addressed to bystanders (http://thepinkchaddicampaign.blogspot.com/2009/02/posters-for-bystander.html.
4. If you can't go to Bangalore organise a Pink Chaddi event in your town (http://thepinkchaddicampaign.blogspot.com/2009/03/organise-pink-chaddi-event-in-your-town.html.
5. If you live abroad, you could join the email campaign here: http://thepinkchaddicampaign.blogspot.com/2009/02/email-campaign.html.
6. If you are from the media look for the press release and details about the attacks: http://thepinkchaddicampaign.blogspot.com/2009/02/details-of-attacks.html.
