It is the desire of
to lessen the strain of the death process on those
who must endure it, be it with our coffins or through the information we can provide on
this site. If you have any questions you would like to see answered here, just send them
along. We'll do our best to provide the most accurate information possible.
Are pine coffins really still legal?
Yes, they are. Though effective marketing techniques have made metal sealer caskets
very common, there are no laws restricting pine box coffins. Simple pine coffins are even
required by some religions, such as
Orthodox Judaism
But doesn't the coffin have to be sealed?
Not in most cases. The so called "protective" sealer caskets are a marketing ploy and
nothing more. The
Funeral Rule
forbids morticians from claiming these coffins are required
by law or have any preservative benefits. Some mausoleums have even banned sealer
caskets due to problems with them exploding. However in rare instances, such as
transporting non-embalmed remains by air, a sealed casket may be required by airline
If I use a pine coffin do I also need to use a vault or grave liner?
This is not dependant on the type of coffin you use but on the cemetery where it will be
interred. No law requires these items but many cemetery policies insist on them.
What are vaults and grave liners, what is their purpose, and what if I don't want to use one?
Vaults and grave liners can be concrete, steel, or fiberglass. Vaults usually have a bottom, sides and a lid which is
put in place after the coffin has been placed inside. Liners are bottomless and lowered over the coffin. The only
function of these items is to prevent ground settlement as the coffin degrades. If you want to avoid using a vault or
liner you can purchase your plot from a cemetery that doesn't require them, you can be interred in a "green" cemetery
such as those being created by
Memorial Ecosystems
, or you can be interred on your own property.
Is legal to be buried on your own property?
In most states, yes. You must check with your local zoning department but this is often an option that people are
not aware of. The location of any home burial must be filed with the local registrar.
Do you still have to use a funeral director if you have a home burial?
Most states have no law requiring the use of a funeral director, regardless of the means of disposition. All funeral
arrangements can be handled by family or friends provided the proper paperwork and permits are obtained. You can
learn more about this from
Final Passages
. You can also visit
for a state by state guide to consumers' funeral rights.
If I do use a funeral director, how can I be sure I get an ethical one?
Shop around, try to find one that is independently rather than corporately owned, take a friend with you, trust your
intuition, and join the
Funeral Consumers Alliance
(FCA). The FCA is a non-profit organization which has the
cooperation of ethical funeral homes across the country. There may be a local chapter of the FCA in your area, visit
their web site to find out.
A Note For Your Protection :
A Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Law known as the Funeral Rule protects your rights as follows:
~ No funeral home may refuse to accept a coffin from an outside source.
~ No funeral home may charge a fee or in any way alter their prices for handling a coffin from an outside
~ No funeral home may attempt to pressure a buyer against using a coffin from an outside source.

Making a movies is a long term game. One of the mental attributes that all successful people share in common is a never ending ability to keep their eye on the prize. The secret formula for filmmaking success is patience plus unyielding persistence in a face of adversity.
Filmmaking Tip: How to make it in Hollywood.
If you find yourself faced with filmmaking self doubt, you're not alone. The important part is that you at least get a picture of what you want that is very specific. Then you should take time to work backwards. And who knows, maybe a decade from now we will be working on movie projects together.

Jamaican Jerk Chicken
Grasslands Entertainment Inc. 2001
- The Thirsty Traveler
There is nothing more Jamaican in flavor than jerk seasoning, a true staple in every Jamaican household. My friend Virginia Burke made jerk[ chicken for me in the traditional manner: in a fire pit over smoking pimento leaves. The taste of this dish will always bring back the memories of friendship and laughter of that afternoon in March. Kevin Brauch, The Thirsty Traveler]
- 1 whole chicken, halved
- 1 lime, halved
- Pinch salt
- 4 to 5 tablespoons of Jerk Rub seasoning, recipe follows
- 8 to 12 pimento (allspice) leaves, for flavor, optional
- Jamaican Jerk Rum Rub:
- 1 red onion, chopped
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 teaspoons white pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped green onion tops
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 5 small jalapenos
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil (olive or vegetable)
- Splash flavorful rum
Rub the chicken with lime and salt. Rub jerk seasoning over chicken halves. Marinate in the refrigerator overnight for the best results.
Preheat a barbecue grill to medium high.
If using, spread the pimento leaves on the grill. Barbecue should be on medium-low heat. Grill the chicken for about 45 minutes, turning often to optimize cooking and browning.
Alternatively, you may use your home oven, heated to 375 degrees F., but do not use pimento leaves.
Let chicken sit for 10 minutes before cutting into quarters.
Jamaican Jerk Rum Rub:Put all ingredients into food processor. Mix on high for 15 pulses.
Yield: 1/2 to 2/3 cup

Letters to the Editor
Readers write about politicians inspiring voters beyond the ballot box, and what else the nuclear deal may bring to India.
A candidate's idealism can evoke feelings beyond results
In response to the Oct. 3 Opinion piece, "Dare I believe Obama can win?": I so rarely am moved by columns these days. So many people have an opinion on just about everything that even the Internet seems overcrowded with comments on minutia that hardly affect anyone.
That's why I'm so impressed with Courtney Martin's commentary. What struck me was how dead-on she nailed the feeling that one often has when trying to vote.
Often, voting is an exercise in faith, which is why so many people feel disenchanted. So much seems to ride on elections that when your side doesn't win, it can be crushing.
She really found a way to inspire someone. One's position on voting doesn't have to revolve around the outcome. And that's the best possible message we can send to the next generation of voters.
I was a late supporter of Barack Obama. It was his policies and action plans that won me over. Now my hopes and heart are roused by his vision.
I saw Senator Obama at the Colorado State Fairgrounds in Pueblo. I knew I would probably vote for him before I went to the rally. However, it was Obama's supporters who won me over completely.
I saw among them the seasoned and the idealistic, the very young and the elderly, the vigorous and the disabled. Naturally, I also saw great ethnic and racial diversity. I wanted to stand in solidarity with them.
Superficially, I have more in common with Sarah Palin – being her age, her race, and an outdoorswoman. It's the hope for progress, greater liberty, and pride that pulls me toward Obama, though.
Hope is powerful and positive. Let's make our hopes and vision thrive no matter what happens on Nov. 4.
I don't want some politician to "invoke my higher self." I just want legal, constitutional government. Is that too much to ask?

Beilin Y, Galea M, Zahn J, Bodian C. Epidural ropivacaine for the initiation of labor epidural analgesia: a dose finding study. Anesth Analg 1999 Jun; 88(6): 1340-5.
The purpose of our study was to determine the lowest concentration of ropivacaine that offers pain relief for the initiation of labor epidural analgesia. Women in active labor were enrolled in this prospective, randomized, double-blinded study to receive either ropivacaine 0.20% (Group I), ropivacaine 0.15% (Group II), or ropivacaine 0.10% (Group III). After placement of the epidural catheter, 13 mL of the study medication was administered. Fifteen minutes later, the adequacy of analgesia was assessed. If the woman reported that her degree of analgesia was not adequate, an additional 5 mL of the study medication was given, the degree of pain relief was reassessed 15 min later, and the study was concluded. A sequential study design was used to assess the success rates. We found that 26 of 28 (93%) women in Group I had adequate analgesia, compared with only 18 of 28 (64%) in Group II (P = 0.014) and 4 of 12 (33%) in Group III (P = 0.003). We conclude that ropivacaine 0.20% offers adequate analgesia significantly more often than either ropivacaine 0.15% or ropivacaine 0.10%. If one selects ropivacaine as the sole local anesthetic for the initiation of labor epidural analgesia, the minimal concentration should be 0.20%. IMPLICATIONS: The lowest effective concentration of ropivacaine for the initiation of labor epidural analgesia has not been determined. We found that ropivacaine 0.20% offers adequate analgesia significantly more often than either ropivacaine 0.15% or ropivacaine 0.10%. If one selects ropivacaine as the sole local anesthetic for the initiation of labor epidural analgesia, the minimal concentration should be 0.20%.Industry Relationships
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device and biotechnology companies to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their relationships with such companies.
Dr. Zahn did not report having any of the following types of financial relationships with industry during 2014 and/or 2015: consulting, scientific advisory board, industry-sponsored lectures, service on Board of Directors, participation on industry-sponsored committees, equity ownership valued at greater than 5% of a publicly traded company or any value in a privately held company. Please note that this information may differ from information posted on corporate sites due to timing or classification differences.

Welcome to the home page of EduMIPS64, a free (as in free speech) visual and cross-platform MIPS64 CPU Simulator.
The simulator was written in order to support Computer Architecture students with a free and cross-platform tool that allows them to run programs written in the MIPS64 assembly dialect and see how the CPU behaves during the execution, experimenting with various aspects of low-level programming that they learn throughout the course.
Latest News
- New release: 1.2. EduMIPS64 1.2 is out! (codename: Ringsend). Lots of bug have been fixed in this new version, mainly related to the Dinero Frontend. Changelog, release notes for 1.2. As usual, downloadable files are available on SourceForge, the Git repository is on GitHub.
- Auto-build of JAR file via Travis CI: we added to our Travis CI configuration the automatic build of updated JAR files, so if you want to try the bleeding edge you can do it without having to compile it.

- EduXcomp is born It is a sub-C cross-compiler for EduMIPS64. Now you can easily obtain assembly code runnable on the simulator by writing a C program, and using EduXcomp to translate it. Download it from the official site http://eduxcomp.sourceforge.net. Early EduXcomp developers will integrate their tool in EduMIPS64.
- New tool for EduMIPS64 users The users of EduMIPS64 can now use a new tool for writing their wonderful MIPS programs. Marco Sorrentino contributed a gracious source code editor that supports MIPS syntax highlighting. You can download it from the Download section!
- New release: 0.5.2 Time for a bugfix release of the stable 0.5.x series of EduMIPS64! The work for version 1.0 is going on slowly, and a change in the behavior of Swing in Java 6 introduced a bug in the simulator. So we created a new version from the 0.5.x series that fixes this bug and other small annoyances. You can download it from the SourceForge page, reachable from the Download section!
- New release: 1.0-alpha After some time, here's the new version of EduMIPS64! This release contains the brand new FPU support and the first stage of the new HTML help, straight from the same LaTeX sources of the PDF manual.

- New bugfix release: 0.5.1 This release of EduMIPS64 is the last one before the FPU-powered release. We made this release mostly before there are some bug fixes that made 0.5 not-so-stable. Please update to this version if you're still using 0.5. Read the Changelog or go download it from the SourceForge page, reachable from the Download section!
- A preview about the FPU usage Added some files .s that work with the FPU. In order to try them you must download the svn jar file from http://www.edumips.org/svn/trunk/edumips64-svn.jar and the samples rar file from the Download section.
- RSS Feed for commits and info about development Seems like sometimes the edumips64-commit isn't updated in the right way, so we thought that we could use Trac's internal RSS features to notify users of SVN commits. If you want to stay updated with EduMIPS64 bleeding edge, subscribe to the following RSS feed: http://www.edumips.org/log?format=rss. Stay tuned, because the next version will contain huge improvements on the 0.5 release, including FPU support, embedded pdf manual via JavaHelp and lots of bug fixes.
- New release: 0.5 MIPS32 instructions, brand new examples in the manual, lots of bug fixes and other small improvements for the new release of EduMIPS64. Read the Changelog or go download it from the SourceForge page, reachable from the Download section!
About EduMIPS64
EduMIPS64 is a GPL porting to Java Swing of the MIPS64 instruction set simulator WinMIPS64. In fact, from WinMIPS64 we take only the idea and the look and feel, but we have totally re-designed it in an object-oriented fashion, in order to make it easy to extend with other instructions and functionalities.
We decided to start this project in order to make a program similar to WinMIPS64 available to users of every platform, but now we are going beyond the original idea, because EduMIPS64 is growing fast and more and more features are being added.
The project home page on sourceforge.net is EduMIPS64 home page.
Thanks to its license, users will be able to study, modify and redistribute it. Take a look at The GPL License.

Broke microwave handle Gopakumar G. • Orangevale, CA • November 24, 2014 Appliance: Model GH5184XPS-7 My Repair & Advice I started by watching the video posted by couple of people on youtube on how to replace a microwave handle. After taking out the liner, I hit a roadblock with unscrewing the handle screw. The grip on the front side had basically melted causing it to be loose, so the screw and the plastic part would rotate together. After trying several things, I gave up and took it to Ace hardware to find an extractor of some sort. Luckily, the guys there used several tools and managed to get the screw out. Once I got it out, I was able to put everything back together with the new handle I got from appliancepros pretty fast. I did break a couple of those flimsy plastic latches on the inside of the door trying to pry the plastic liner out. So please be very careful with that. Was this review helpful to you?

'Being Mary Jane' premiered on BET on Jan. 7, bringing with it a fantastic performance by Gabrielle Union in her most raw, racy, brutally honest role yet.
Gabrielle Union has been in the news non-stop due to her new engagement to Dwyane Wade, and the "baby scandal" that followed it. It's a shame, because her starring role in the BET drama Being Mary Jane is the 41-year-old actress' best role yet. Let's start talking about it.
'Being Mary Jane' Is Refreshingly Real
Mary Jane Paul is one hell of a woman. She's a successful talk show host. She's a breadwinner. She's gorgeous. She's newly single and a hot commodity in the eyes of multiple men. But most importantly, she's far from perfect. Jan. 7's episode alone found Mary Jane making out with a man she knew was married, and dealing with the same career uncertainties pretty much every single woman working in media deals with these days.
Gabrielle knocked all of these difficult scenes out of the park, yet still retained her inherent likability. In short, she was marvelous.
It's not surprising to learn that Mary Jane was created by Mara Brock-Akil, the mastermind behind Girlfriends and The Game. Mara has been writing refreshingly, unapologetically real black women for years; long before Kerry Washington's already-iconic Olivia Pope made being a strong, successful, yet flawed black woman on TV an okay thing in the eyes of the masses.
"The show resonated with audiences because they could relate to the characters," Mara said to Huffington Post. "I really feel as though we (women) are liars and we have become liars for our own survival. Now we're at a tipping point where it is no longer serving us but it is hurting us and now I'm finding that a lot of us are lost. I don't mean just single women. I mean women, married women, women across the board. We are lost, losing ourselves a little bit. I think men can relate too. They don't have to lie in the same way or deal with life in the same way, but I think they will recognize themselves even in Mary Jane if not the other characters that are present in the piece."
Mary Jane Paul: Not Olivia Pope
Of course, since Mary Jane is gorgeous and talented and successful and dating a married man and all of that, the Saint Olivia Pope comparisons will be plentiful. And you know what? That's okay. It's bound to happen. There isn't exactly a great space for non-stereotypical black female characters (who aren't cops) on television (we're talking to you, Saturday Night Live), and the fact that Mara and Gabrielle have brought another one to life is just one big step forward in the right direction.
Are there a plethora of interesting, highly-celebrated Walter White, Don Draper, Sherlock, and Red Reddington types on pretty much every network big and small these days, and only a small number of interesting black females? Sure. And are their black (and female) costars on those same shows often hated (Anna Gunn) or overlooked (Danai Gurira) in the eyes of the masses? Absolutely. And it sucks. Those men are undoubtedly great to watch, yet it's still a giant pain in the ass for women of all colors that we still have to break that glass television ceiling; and that it's such a big freaking news story when someone does.
But I'm going to ignore that noise, grab a glass of red, and enjoy my time with the wonderful Mary Jane Paul. Small victories are still victories, and Gabrielle Union deserves to celebrate.
What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Did you like Being Mary Jane?

This show really pulled at my heart strings. Gabrielle's character is someone who lurks in every married woman's closet, and to many is a reality. She is really beautiful and strong and has good morals but her heart continues to lead unfortunately. I can't wait to see the next episode. Congrats Gabrielle on an exceptional performance. This is "reality" tv.

Love Mara Brock-Akil's work. I watch Girlfriends in syndication when I can. Gabby is an exceptional actress. Let's be adults and separate her personal life from her profession. The whole cast did a superb job. One can relate to her personal struggle and her professional chaos that was presented last night.
Who are we to judge? She will make the best decision for her life and her happiness with Mr Wade. It is really none of our business to decide what she does.
I enjoyed the show and I will conitnue to watch and support her shows and movies.

it's TOO BAD she's not as STRONG in REAL LIFE as the characters she plays on T.V. although she may play STRONG CHARACTERS IN MOVIES & on T.V. but in real life she is W.E.A.K. & PATHETIC. After watching how DWAYNE WADE DOGGED HER OUT IN REAL-LIFE, her characters somehow DO NOT SEEM BELIEVABLE TO ME NOW.

YESSS, GAWD, HONEY!! "Being Mary Jane was giving me life last night (& "The Haves and Have Nots"). Not to mention, the new promo of "The Game" (Kelly's back), I see you BET (you're finally listening to the viewers)!! "Being Mary Jane" had it all last night: THE MOST AWKWARD CONVERSATION BETWEEN A MISTRESS & WIFE EVER KNOWN TO MANKIND!! The moment with the elderly couple during Hurricane Henry was heartbreaking, & Mary Jane showed GREAT integrity & professionalism (her boss & producer needs to be slapped)!!! Don't get me started on that shower scene between Omari & Gabrielle!!!

I liked the show, but parts of Mary Jane seem enhanced for TV because they can't be characteristics of the same person. To get that far in her career, she has to be smart right? So why is she talking about her affair with a married man in detail at her office? Why kiss then have sex in a public area like a gym shower?
At this rate, we'll be watching Mary Jane living in a cardboard box saying "I used to have it all, then my life went down in flames when I was caught in a cheating scandal."

You know why you are so excellent at this role??????Take a guesssss…..come on….still guessing?….because the life of a homewrecking slut who rips her clothes off for married men IS YOUR LIFE……Didnt have to go much out of your normal life to play this one huh….LMBO! KARMA is something else…you DONT parade around with a married man, bashing his wife, and then EXPECT YOUR life with this man to be grand…..its called KARMA!!!!! #teamfunchess…

HollywoodLife.com spoke to a source very close to Kimye who tells us that his new album that's expected to drop June 18, is all about Kim and how in love they are!
Kim Kardashian is going to have the best summer ever because she'll have a new baby and an album dedicated to her! An insider who has listened to several songs on Kanye West album, tells us that Kim will be so happy when she hears it.
Kanye West's New Songs
The source says: "Oh I've listened to a few of the songs and they are all lovey dovey. It's really sappy, he's not yelling at all."
The insider is referring to reports that claim his album will have tons of yelling and primal screaming on it.
Kanye Sings To Kim Kardashian At The Met Ball
We told you that model Coco Rocha Kayne posted a Vine video of Kanye's performance and captioned it: "Kanye telling Kim not to worry what anyone says that she's awesome. Quite touching really #metgala."
Kim then posted this message with on her Instagram: "Baby you're AWESOME."
It really is so cool how much these two love each other. We just can't wait to see what else is in store for these two. We do know that Kim will be giving birth around the first week of June and this is great since the album will come out shortly after. We just wonder if Kim will be happy that the album is all about her. We're assuming the answer is yes!

Oh, yeah, Kanye's all about the mushy love songs. His street cred is going down the tubes since he hooked up with her. He's been living in Paris, refuses to be on her show, barely cracks a smile when he's with her and you're trying to tell us an "insider" informs that he's turned into Barry Manilow. I think HL needs to bolster its street cred.
Posted at 7:47 AM on May 10, 2013
He's a fool for even giving the hobag this kind of undeserving attention. And he's an even bigger fool to think people will buy his album that was solely dedicated to a gold-digging, attention-grabbing cowbag who divorced her husband after two years because he was not that rich and took everything from him. And he will be an extremely fool to think that by attaching herself with her and her family will make her change or that by marrying her she will not pull the same stunt that she pulled on Kris Humpries after she will make him sign an iron-clad prenup that will make her own all his money when they divorce.

I really think some of you people are mentally ill. Everyday hating and always say nasty
things about others. I hope one day you lot will get bullied and others saying hateful
about you and your family then you will know how it feels.
Kim and Kanye and the baby wishing you a happy life.

THE VILLAGES, Fla. — In a speech that appeared intended to quell doubts among seniors about his proposal to overhaul Medicare, Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan took a deeply personal approach Saturday morning in describing what he and Mitt Romney have in mind for the health insurance program for the elderly and the disabled.
Taking the stage with his 78-year-old mother at this sprawling central Florida retirement community, Ryan told the crowd stories of his family as he made the case that he and Romney would not change the benefits of current seniors. He offered few specifics about his own plan but went into the greatest detail yet in hammering President Obama on the issue.

Before a romantic date with Kristen Stewart at the Chateau Marmont on Nov. 27, Rob enjoyed some time drinking with friends — including M.I.A.! Who knew the two were friends? Read on for all the details!
Does everyone in Hollywood know each other? It sure seems like it, as a new report claims that Robert Pattinson enjoyed the company of friends on Tuesday Nov. 27 at the Chateau Marmont in Hollywood before an intimate date with Kristen Stewart. Among those friends? M.I.A.!
People reports that Rob, 26, was spotted at a table in the hotel with a male buddy, sipping on a Stella, before a group of friends, including M.I.A., joined the two. Rob "looked happy and relaxed," the source says. He enjoyed frequent smoke breaks on the patio and "only paid attention to his guy friends, laughing and letting loose a little bit."
The group left after about an hour, the report says. It must have been at that point that Rob was joined by Kristen, who were spotted dining late at the hotel by a fan who tweeted their sighting!
Are you surprised that Rob and M.I.A. are friends, HollywoodLifers?

Daniel Radcliff is not followed everywhere he goes, watched as he gets on and off planes, has his entire life scrutinized and written about constantly. He's not tall & handsome or sexy in any way and is not dating one of Hollywood's famous beauties. So don't bring up Daniel's name as any comparison with what Rob Pattinson has to go through every day of his life.

Who is M.I.A.? Sorry not up on the HipHop scene. This sounds so loaded though. I guess if it is true Rob is back to his old ways. I agree with the other poster though he needs to stop the bar hopping and get serious about his relationship and career. You don't hear about other actors who have hit it big hanging out at bars all the time. Isn't Andrew Garfield and Jesse Eisenberg around his age? They seem to get the big roles without all the bad drama and pics. You don't hear about them bar hopping all the time with so called friends in tow. Daniel Radcliff once said that if you didn't want the paps following you and bad publicity then you need to stay out of places that could give you a bad rep, stop being seen in bars and the paps wouldn't have info for all the gossip rags. Maybe Rob needs to take some advice from Dan since Dan apparently has a booming career without all the drama. Sounds like good advice to me and he got it from some of Hollywoods and the UK's biggest celebrities like Gary Oldman and Maggie Smith.

Why would anyone care about Rob going out, drinking with friends, or his livrr? So stupid, it is his life. Drinking while socializing is pat of his English culture. There are plenty of English, Irish, and Scottish actors and rock starsRobs behavior stands out only because he is hounded so much. He works hard at his career and his relationships. You don't know sh!t.

@guest———————–i think rob NEEDS to de-compress with all that he has to endure with the press/paps, etc.—who cares if he goes to a bar to relax—-at least he isnt sitting in a hotel room snorting coke—–let him be !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i dont recall the article saying he was BAR HOPPING-he met up with some friends AND LEFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW –what a crime—as for daniel radcliffe—-BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he does his thing–rob does his–i have never seen an article about rob being drunk , belligerent, etc.–so he has a few beers–pretty tame if you ask me—————the only drama i see rob having is kristen stewart—-

i hate penny on the bext food network star i hope judges have sense enough to det rid of her soon i don't even like watching the show cause i hate her so much
I think that Bobby Flay should have done a throwdown at Vic's on the River in Savannah insteasd of Rosebud in Atlanta. This was a throwdown for the Green Friend Tomato BLT sandwich. Vic's served one of the best freid green tomato BLT sandwiches (also had cheese on it) I've ever had!! Delicious!!
I hope I did not hear correctly when Penny said she has it in the box, and that she has nothing to worry about. Please don't make me correct in my feelings that the winner has already been chosen and you're going to waste our time with watching her nonsense. She offends me on so many levels, that watching you let her pass when she obviously has a problem makes me seriously doubt the credibility of the contest.
I love the Food Network and watch alot of your shows, but lately the contests and challenges seem to be pre-determined. Otherwise, if it is not as it appears to us viewers, perhaps you should be more careful in your editing and show us actually why you choose the winners you do.You show us their mistakes then keep them, and the ones you send home seem to not be as bad as the winners…
I think penny wont ……
huggies coupons -
amen!! I will NEVER watch a show with her on it. I've watched and cooked with the food network for a couple of years now, but if Penny is what they think is talent, I'm out… What the hell with Suzie telling the other contestants to basically tolerate her because she's "aggressive"!!!! She's an insufferable mean girl with questionable, at best, cooking ability….
Okay, seriously?! They kept Penny because her "performance was weak but her food was good". They sent Justin home for the EXACT SAME THING last week and he's way more talented than Penny, not to mention a hell of a lot more likeable! This is Debbie from 2 seasons ago all over again. FNS, you need to stop being so wishy washy and hold all the contestants up to the SAME standard. If this is the kind of person Food Network thinks is the face of their network, then I'm not watching it.
exactly. If the panel has decided who's going to win, what's the point? there's no real competition; but know that putting it on air doesn't mean that I'll watch it. I guaran-damn-tee you I won't watch that Penny beeyotch!

Half day symposium - Critique meets Corpora: Implications for research on contentious issuesDate: 24 October 2011 Time: 2.00 - 6.00 pm Venue: FASS MR 2-3 The department is hosting a half day symposium entitled "Critique meets Corpora: Implications for research on contentious issues". Speakers include Kieran O'Halloran, Ruth Wodak and Susan Hunston. If you would like to attend please contact Paul Baker via email - email@example.com ________________ The recent interest in the 'useful methodological synergy' (Baker et al. 2008) of corpus-based methods and qualitative analysis within a critical discourse studies framework has given rise to numerous projects and publications. While there is ongoing debate about the development of these methods and their practical application in various research contexts, as yet there has not been much discussion of the moral and ethical issues involved in this kind of research. Specifically, there is work to do in integrating the traditionally data-driven approach of corpus linguistics and the (social) problem-oriented approach of critical discourse studies. This dichotomy comes into sharp focus when the combined approaches are applied to contentious issues (e.g. antisemitism, immigration, climate change, etc.). To this end, we are planning a half-day symposium to explore and discuss the following questions, among others:
We hope that the ultimate outcome of the symposium will be a better understanding of how the different research traditions that have given rise to corpus-assisted discourse studies and related approaches can be integrated, and a strengthening of the ethical underpinnings in this field.

What makes us different from other Boise remodelers?
Besides the benefits listed above, we take the time to get to know each client and understand their needs. Rather than having you hand us a set of blueprints and ask for a price quote, we work with our clients to develop a remodel strategy matched to a budget. Then we'll design a plan based on the components that are important to them.
This "Design/Build" process allows us to pre-select all materials and plan for back order items before that phase of production begins. This eliminates timeline and budget over runs because all material acquisition and scheduling is established before demolition and construction begin.
The Design/Build process allows for more creative planning time with our experts and gives you complete control over each element of the process. We're able to control all aspects of the project this way and reduce the inconvenience that delays create.
Why leave the most important details of your remodel project to other Boise remodeling contractors when you can have complete control over design when you work with CK Rogers?
Go with the highest quality remodeling Boise residents have trusted for years; CK Rogers Renovation and Remodeling.

[Windows 8] How to add (or remove) rows of icons on Start screen
Posted By Tu Nguyen On December 13, 2012 @ 11:45 PM In Windows | 1 Comment
Start screen in Windows 8 [1] is not only the brand new thing to focus on touch users, but it also confuses tradition users who use Windows with mouse and keyboard. However, it is the place that provides tons of information from everywhere by everyone at every time by using Live Tiles. On Start screen, tiles are arranged in rows and column; the number of rows is often determined automatically by your screen resolution. Otherwise, by default, Windows 8 often doesn't arrange the tiles into the maximum number of row. Therefore, in this article, I will show you how to add/remove rows to show more or less tiles in your Start screen.
As I mentioned above, the rows on Start screen are determined by your screen resolution. In a simple understanding, the higher your vertical resolution, the more tile rows you have. Below is the table about maximum, minimum, and default rows for different screen resolutions.
To change the number of rows on Start screen, you have to edit Registry. This is a very important thing to Windows, so that you should backup your Registry before doing this or your device may work incorrectly.
After backing up the Registry, you should follow these steps.

Feline lymphoma is one of the most frequently diagnosed tumors in cats. Lipotropes are dietary methyl donors that may modulate DNA methylation status and the expression of genes involved in growth and apoptosis of feline lymphoma cells. The specific objective of the study was to determine if lipotropes affect the growth of feline lymphoma cells, which entailed examining a correlation between lymphoma cell proliferation and apoptosis.
F1B and FeLV-3281 cells were cultured and treated with 20 times the level of lipotropes contained in the basal culture medium. Cell growth and death and caspase 3 and tumor protein p53 activity were measured. Lipotropes were found to significantly reduce cell growth and increase cell death. Caspase 3 and p53 activity was seen in F1B cells after 72 hours, but the effect was minimal on FeLV-3281.
These results could be useful in the development of dietary strategies for treating and preventing feline lymphoma.

Hard drive basics | Capacities, RPM speeds, interfaces and mechanics
Welcome to our guide to the hard drive
In this guide we aim to give you an idea of just what a hard drive is. We cover what these ubiquitous devices are and their uses in today's world.
We then go on to explain hard drive capacities, RPM speeds and the interfaces used to connect them. We finish with a look at the internal components of the hard drive.
What is a hard drive and what does it do?
A hard drive is a mass storage device found in all PCs (with some exclusions) that is used to store data such as the operating system, installed software and a user's files.
The data on hard drives can be erased and/or overwritten. The hard drive is classed as a non-volatile storage device, which means it doesn't require a constant power supply in order to retain the information stored on it (unlike
Inside every hard drive are round disk-like objects called platters which are made of either an aluminium/alloy or a glass/ceramic composite. Each platter is coated with a special magnetic coating enabling them to store data magnetically.
Hovering above these platters are read/write heads that transfer data to and from the platters. We cover platters, heads and the other mechanical elements in more detail below.
Hard Drive Capacities
Hard drives come with various different storage capacities which are measured in bytes. Common capacities are stated in
(Megabytes) and
There is, understandably, some confusion among consumers regarding the storage capacity of hard drives. This is due to the fact that most hard drive manufacturers and many software applications associate the terms MB (megabyte), GB (gigabyte) and TB (terabyte) with different values.
Hard drive manufacturers tend to use the decimal interpretation (SI prefix) and lots of software packages use the binary interpretation (binary prefix). This means that 1GB = 1000MB according to the manufacturer but the software's file system classes 1GB as 1,024MB.
Below shows the difference between the decimal and binary prefixes.
1,000,000 bytes (1000
, 10
1,048,576 bytes (1024
, 2
1,000,000,000 bytes (10
1,073,741,824 bytes (1024
, 2
1,000,000,000,000 bytes (10
1,099,511,627,776 bytes (1024
, 2
As you can see there is a large disparity between the values, especially as storage sizes get larger. For example, if you purchased a hard drive stating it had 300GB you may find that your software reports the storage capacity as only 279GB.
To avoid such confusion the terms MiB, GiB and TiB are used to describe the binary interpretations, unfortunately the terms have not seen widespread use.
In recent times there has been a surge in hard drive technology, allowing massive storage capacities which would have seemed impossible not many years ago.
Common hard drive capacities these days range from 120GB up to and exceeding 1TB.
To put that in perspective, you can store around 33,333 text documents (around 30,000 bytes each) per 1GB of hard drive space, or around 238 MP3 music files (around 4,194,304 bytes each) for each 1GB. When you consider a hard drive with a storage capacity of 500GB, it is clear the capacity of modern hard drives is massive.
Hard Drive RPM Speeds
You will often see hard drives advertised as being capable of a certain RPM (Revolutions Per Minute). This figure (as the name suggests) refers to how many times the spindle makes a complete 360° turn in any single minute.
The higher the RPM, the faster the data can be read from the platters, which increases overall performance. RPM values range from about 5,400RPM to 12,000RPM and above.
Hard Drive Interfaces
Hard drives are available with a number of different interfaces, these interfaces provide connectivity and facilitate communication between the hard drive and the rest of the system.
The various interfaces each have their own specifications.
IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics)
Although superseeded by the SATA interface due to SATA's improved performance, IDE hard drives are still used in some systems.
(Universal Serial Bus)
Used to connect external USB devices. Although the actual interface on the hard drive is usually SATA, there is a USB-SATA bridge which facilitates the communication.
(Serial Advanced Technology Attachment)
The SATA interface has become the most commonly used interface in modern desktop PCs and laptops. It offers much faster and more efficient data transfer than its predecessor IDE (PATA).
(Small Computer System Interface)
The SCSI interface was, and still is, very popular with power-hungry users. Although most desktop PC and laptop manufacturers incorporate SATA interfaces into their systems, SCSI devices and interface cards are still available. Recent adaptations which allow the connection of SCSI devices include Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and USB Attached SCSI (UAS). SCSI is still used in performance-critical devices like servers.
Hard drive mechanics
The mechanical technology used inside hard drives hasn't changed that much over the years, in fact the basic mechanics in today's hard drives are much the same as they were 10 or 15 years ago.
fig 1.1
to the left you can see the internal mechanics of a hard drive:
- Platter/s
- Read/Write Head/s (and slider)
- Actuator Arm/s
- Actuator
- Spindle
(A in fig 1.1)
Most Platters are made of either an aluminium/alloy or glass/ceramic composite and are like glass to the touch. There is always more than one platter inside modern hard drives and each platter is double sided (with some exceptions).
In modern hard drives the platters spin at 5400RPM and above. The distance (flying height) between the read/write heads and the platter is around 50nm (0.05µ, a human hair is around 100µ).
You should never open your hard drive's sealed casing (unless you are in a controlled environment such as a clean room) as a single speck of dust is bigger than the gap between the platters and read/write heads. If dust/debris does enter the drive, it can have catastrophic results when the heads crash into it.
The platters have a magnetic coating which allows them to store the data magnetically.
Read/Write Head/s
(B in fig 1.1)
These are attached to the end of each actuator arm and as the name suggests they are responsible for reading and writing data to and from the platters. There is
a set of read/write heads on each side of each platter although some drive configurations have an odd number of heads.
Actuator Arm/s
(C in fig 1.1)
Actuator arms move across the platters to position the read/write heads in the right place to read or write the required data. The actuator arms are manufactured so they have a spring action causing them to close if there is no platter present, this ensures they do not move away from the platter with time. As the drive winds up to full speed the air that is generated by the spinning motion lifts the sliders (and therefore the heads) around 50nm (0.05µ) above the platters.
(D in fig 1.1)
This refers to the device that physically moves the actuator arms. Years ago they used to use stepper motors for controlling the actuator arms, but the problem with stepper motors in applications such as this is that over time and with a lot of use, they lose their integrity and can cause data corruption.
Another problem with stepper motors is that when they get hot (which hard drives do) they lose their precision. For example, data that is saved with a cool drive can sometimes be unavailable when the motor gets hot due to this displacement effect.
Stepper motors also required the read/write heads to be parked (moved to a data-free area of the drive). If the read/write heads were not parked and the drive suffered any shock (such as transportation), the data could be corrupted.
Nowadays most (if not all) hard drives use a voice coil instead of a stepper motor, unlike stepper motors, voice coils are linear and don't suffer from the same integrity problems.
Because voice coils are magnetically driven by electrical currents there is no mechanical wear and tear. Voice coils also negate the need for parking the heads before shutting off the power, as when they lose power the heads return to the parked position automatically.
(E in fig 1.1)
The spindle revolves the platters, when you see an RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) specification of a hard drive it is referring to the spindle speed.

Fast Company, 9/1/10
The report's author, Mary Madden, notes that this is significant because while email is still "the primary way that older users maintain contact with friends, families, and colleagues," the older generation are leaping to adopt social media to manage communications in numbers that makes gains among the younger age group "pale in comparison." Why is this happening? Pew doesn't make any attempt to dig into the reasoning, but it's likely to be partly natural--adoption of new tech propagating up through the age groups, similar to the old "silver surfer" phenomenon--and services like Twitter and Facebook finding expanding business uses as promotional tools, and as business-to-consumer contact systems.Books:

Mercato Nuovo/The Straw Market
Corner of Via Porta Rossa and Via Por Santa Maria
Florence, Italy
Contributed by Project for Public Spaces
A 16th Century market in Florence enjoyed by both locals and tourists.
Why It Works
This semi-enclosed market bustles under a beautiful, spacious loggia dating back to the 16th Century. Under the arches, numerous vendors set up shop selling belts, scarves, leather goods, embroidered linens, souvenirs, and Florentine straw hats. The market is open year-round, with limited hours during the winter.
What Makes Mercato Nuovo/The Straw Market a Great Place?
The market can be accessed by virtually anyone. It is centrally located and can only be entered on foot.
The well-preserved loggia gives this market a real sense place. It also protects the merchants and shoppers from inclement weather.
Florentines call this market Il Porcellino (Little Pig) due to the wild boar fountain located at the markets south side. The statue, created in 1612 by Pietro Taccas, was cast from a marble Hellenistic original that is now housed in the Uffizi Gallery. Many tourists come to rub the pigs well-polished snout and throw a coin in the fountain. It is believed that by doing so it insures a return trip to Florence.
A good amount of tourists, as well as locals, frequent this market and give it a lively atmosphere.
History & Background
The people of Florence have heavily used this market since Grand Duke Cosimo I had it built between 1547-1551. Designed by Giovanni Battista, it was initially used for the sale of silk and gold. In the middle of the loggia, youll find a cartwheel symbol inset into the pavement. In times of hostility, the citys medieval war cart was positioned here as warning of impending hostilities. The loggia was also used as a place for public punishment. Dodgy merchants convicted of bankruptcy received a proper spanking (literally) before being carted off to prison.
