Candidates Obama and Biden were quick to castigate the Bush Administration's love for warrantless surveillance of American citizens in the alleged interests of national security. In fact, they were quick to use the label that actually applies to this conduct: "illegal." But in office, their attitudes seem curiously transformed. Eric Holder, at an appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday, turned semantic summersaults to avoid calling the intrusive practices unlawful. And his Justice Department seems to have adopted a curiously lax attitude towards enforcement of the law limiting government surveillance. In fact, their conduct seems remarkably similar to that of the Bush team.
These facts were highlighted yesterday in a strong article by James Risen and Eric Lichtblau of The New York Times.
Since April, when it was disclosed that intercepts of some private communications of Americans went beyond legal limits in late 2008 and early 2009, several Congressional committees have been investigating. Those inquiries have led to concerns in Congress about the agency's ability to collect and read domestic e-mail messages of Americans on a widespread basis, officials said. Supporting that conclusion is the account of a former N.S.A. analyst who, in a series of interviews, described being trained in 2005 for a program in which the agency routinely examined large volumes of Americans' e-mail messages without court warrants. Two intelligence officials confirmed that the program was still in operation….
He said he and other analysts were trained to use a secret database, code-named Pinwale, in 2005 that archived foreign and domestic e-mail messages. He said Pinwale allowed N.S.A. analysts to read large volumes of e-mail messages to and from Americans as long as they fell within certain limits — no more than 30 percent of any database search, he recalled being told — and Americans were not explicitly singled out in the searches. The former analyst added that his instructors had warned against committing any abuses, telling his class that another analyst had been investigated because he had improperly accessed the personal e-mail of former President Bill Clinton. Other intelligence officials confirmed the existence of the Pinwale e-mail database, but declined to provide further details.
The NSA insists that this is all innocent error. That excuse is getting very tired and increasingly unbelievable. At this point the abuses are so wide sweeping and so systematic that it's hard not to conclude that they have official approval if not encouragement. We wouldn't have these problems if we had effective Congressional oversight. For eight years that has been lacking. On the Senate side, Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) has promised that her committee will start taking its mandate seriously. But when confronted with the Risen-Lichtblau story yesterday, Feinstein insisted that as far as she knew, the NSA was not violating the rules on e-mail surveillance. Feinstein's idea of oversight appears to rest on accepting the claims of senior NSA functionaries. But that is the same negligent-to-complicit approach to oversight taken by her predecessor, Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kans.).
This points to another problem. If the NSA is engaged in the sort of conduct that Risen and Lichtblau describe, and it's doing this in conformity with law, then something's terribly wrong with the law. Every time it was caught engaged in illegalities, the NSA demanded that the law be changed to legalize its invasions of the privacy of American citizens. It consistently got 90% of what it asked for, and continued to act as if it had gotten everything. The Times editorializes on this problem as well:
The 2008 expansion of FISA is a deeply flawed law. Congress needs to repeal it and re-examine, carefully this time, what powers the government really needs to eavesdrop on Americans and what limits and safeguards need to be placed on those powers.
The 2008 FISA bill went too far, and it's now high time to start restoring civil liberties. It's also time to insist that Congress begin at long last to provide meaningful oversight.

Artist: 50 CENT
Album: Power Of The Dollar
Genre: Hip Hop/Rap
Nobody likes me
Nobody likes me, but that's okay
Cause I don't like y'all anyway
... And I don't like y'all anyway
Fuck all y'all!!
I let my watch talk for me, my whip talk for me
My gat talk for me
BLAT! Whattup homie
For bitches who don't know me
... They wanna blow me
Cause the shit I floss wit sayin a lot for me
[Verse One]
I came into rap humble, I don't give a fuck now
Serve anybody like niggaz who hustle uptown
Coke price go up, cats is come down
The D's run in my crib, I'm nowhere to be found
The bitch who hustle for me, they dont even stash tracks
They keep it on 'em, right there in they ass crack
When I don't like a nigga, I don't pretend to
I'll have the paramedics wrap your fuckin head like a Hindu
Look, I ain't goin nowhere, so get used to me
O G's look at me and see what they used to be
I'm that nigga that sold coke, the nigga that sold dope
The nigga that shot Dice when he broke to So So
The thug they pop shit, the thug that pop clips
The thug that went from three and a half to whole brick
Nigga ain't in his right mind, goin against me
My picture's painted through words that make a blind man see
Scream murda! (I don't believe you!)
Murda! (Fuck around and leave you!)
Murda! (I don't believe you!)
Murda, murda! (Your life's on the line!)
[Verse Two]
Y'all niggaz don't want no parts of me
I'm tryna figure out how high y'all started me
Make me catch her on the late night
Pop shots wit the fifth and slide off wit the six
I'm not a marksmen while spark issue, I spray random
Not a pretty nigga but my moms think I'm handsome
I hate to hear "He say, She say" shit
Unless he say she say shes on my dick
It's no coincidence, niggaz who fuck wit me get shot up
I do a Cali style drive by and tear ya block up
You soft through, be puttin up a crazy front
I stay wit the Mac, cause niggaz tried to blaze me once
In the hood they be like, "Damn, 50 really spitted on 'em"
"You heard that shit?" "Yeah, 50 really shitted on 'em"
Beef, you don't want none, so don't start none
You just a small player in this game, play a part son
[Verse Three]
These cats always escape reality when they rhyme
That's why they write about bricks and only dealt wit dimes
Leave it to them, and they say they got a fast car
Nascar, truck wit a crash bar, and TV's in the dash, pa
See 'em in the five wit stock rims, I just laugh, pa
I catch stunts when I ain't tryin
I ain't lyin, I sit Dom P til I split up
Keep my rent split up
Get outta line, I get you hit up (Wooo!)
Now if you say my name in your rhyme, watch what you say
You get carried away, you can get shot and carried away
Now here's a list of MC's that can kill you in eight bars:
50, umm......Jay-Z and Nas
I'ma say this shit now and never again
We ain't buddies, we ain't partners and we damn sure ain't friends
The games you playin, you get killed like that
Actin like you all hard, you ain't built like that
See me when you see me nigga, one (one)
Y'all niggaz don't want no parts of me
I'm tryna figure out how high y'all started me
You gon make me catch her on the late night
Pop shots wit the fifth and slide off wit the six (six)

Poway /ˈpaʊ.weɪ/ is a city in San Diego County, California. Originally an unincorporated community in San Diego County, Poway officially became a city on December 1, 1980. Even though Poway lies geographically in the middle of San Diego County, most consider its relative location as north county inland. Poway's rural roots gave rise to its slogan "The City in the Country." As of the 2010 census the city had a population of 47,811. The ZIP code is 92064.
Poway is located at 32°58′12″N 117°2′19″W / 32.97000°N 117.03861°W (32.969895, -117.038479).[3] which lies north of the city of San Diego and south of the city of Escondido. Some nearby communities of San Diego include Rancho Bernardo, Sabre Springs, Scripps Ranch, Rancho Peñasquitos, and in the county to the east, the community of Ramona. According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 39.3 square miles (102 km2). 39.2 square miles (102 km2) of it is land and 0.1 square miles (0.26 km2) of it (0.25%) is water.
Artifacts such as arrow heads, spear points, metates, grinding stones, and pottery found along the bed of Poway Creek all indicate an early Diegueño presence. Various pictographs adorn many of Poway's boulders, and modern techniques suggest that these paintings date back to the 16th century or earlier.
The name of the valley of Poway (Pauwai) is derived from the language of the Diegueno Indians who roamed the area for several hundred years before the Spaniards came. Traces of these Native Americans still remain. In Diegueño, the area is known as Pawiiy.[4]
Poway's contemporary history began in the late 18th century, when padres from the Mission San Diego de Alcalá kept cattle in the valley. Documents of Mission San Diego de Alcala record the name of the valley as "Paguay" as early as 1828. Though there is a discrepancy on the exact translation of "Paguay," the generally accepted version indicates "the meeting of little valleys" or "end of the valley."[5] Some controversy also surrounds the proper spelling on the name Poway, historically it has also been written by the Mexican authorities as Paguai.[6] It has also been written as Paui, Pauai, Pauy, and Powaii.[citation needed].
For approximately a century, Poway served as a stock range for the mission and local ranchos. In September 1839, Corporal Rosario Aguilar was granted Rancho Paguai a rancho in the valley and it was confirmed in May 22, 1840 but he refused it becoming Juez de paz in 1841 and moving instead to San Juan Capistrano.[6][7]
American settlers began to come to the valley for farming purposes in the late antebellum period. Few records of this time have survived, and not until 1894 and the inception of the Poway Progress did the town's history become a thing of record. In 1887, about 800 people lived and farmed in Poway. Around the start of the 20th century, Poway farmers had moderate success in the production and vending of fruit, grain, and dairy products. Expansion, however, failed to follow agricultural success. Though the farmers prospered, the town existed in a static state for decades, varying only slightly in population, demographics, crop selection, and the like.
Poway has a creek and fertile soil, but the lack of easily available water prevented the settlement from attracting large-scale farmers and the accompanying population growth. Not until 1954 did the town establish the Poway Municipal Water District, which utilizes water from the Colorado River Aqueduct to irrigate all of Poway's 10,000 acres (40 km2). When water came to the town, people did as well. In 1957, following the sewer system's completion, developers built housing tracts, and modern Poway grew from there.
In 1980 Poway incorporated and officially became the City of Poway (nicknamed "the City in the Country") rather than a neighborhood of San Diego itself. Poway no longer relies on agriculture for its primary source of income, and has instead transitioned into a residential community for those who work for employers in and around the San Diego area. According to a recent state government estimate, the population of Poway has grown since that last census to 50,542.[8] It justifies its nickname of the "City in the Country" despite its burgeoning population because it has been designated a "Tree City"[9] for the last decade.
Major portions of the town were evacuated during both the 2003 Cedar Fire and 2007 Witch Creek Fire.
In 2004, the City of Poway adopted the 1st Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, 1st Marine Division, based out of nearby Camp Pendleton. The Fred L. Kent Post 7907 of the Veterans of Foreign Wars has been the official go-between with the battalion, which has been redeployed at least once to Iraq since its adoption.
Though many residents today mistake Poway for an old Western-style cowboy town, its original roots lie in agriculture. The Homestead Act of 1862 encouraged Westward migration, and accordingly many of Poway's first white settlers came to farm. The fecund soil proved well-suited to a variety of crops, including peaches, Muscat grapes, apricots, pears, hay, and alfalfa. Some farmers captured swarms of wild bees and cultivated honey. Dairying also proved lucrative. Most families kept a cow for milk and butter, chickens for eggs and meat, and perhaps a hog to sustain them while they farmed. Crops sold well around the San Diego area. Between the seasons of 1894 and 1896, the Poway Progress reported bits of agricultural information such as:
The success of these crops depended on the annual winter rainfall, however, and so remained subject to variations in precipitation until the establishment of the Poway Municipal Water District in 1954. With water readily available, the town's farming interest shifted to two principal crops, avocados and citrus fruits. Ironically, despite the relative success of these ventures, Poway ceased to exist as a farming town once the water needed to make it a true agricultural haven appeared. With water came new residents, and the former farm town transformed into a locale full of small commercial businesses and modest shopping centers.
The Community Church of Poway, the town's first church, has remained in operation since 1887, making it the house of worship with the longest continual operation in San Diego County [1]. It is now affiliated with the United Church of Christ [2]. Today, Catholics, Lutherans, Methodists, Presbyterians, and Mormons constitute the majority of Poway's religious demographic. Living Way Church, a non-denominational Protestant church, through Berean Bible College, is the only church currently in Poway that offers bible college classes. There are two Catholic Churches in Poway, St. Michael's [3] and St. Gabriel's [4]. There is also a small Jewish community, with a Reform and a Conservative temple as well as a Chabad. A Sikh temple, one of several in San Diego County, is found in Poway. Two Kingdom Halls of Jehovah's Witnesses are located in Poway. There are nine congregations of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints located in Poway that meet in three meetinghouses.
Poway established its school district in 1871, but did not have a schoolhouse until 1885, when a one-room schoolhouse was built at Midland Road about a 2-3 minute walk south of the Templar's Hall. The site is still in use today as an elementary school (Kindergarten through 5th grade), though it was torn down and rebuilt in 1945, and renovated again in 2004-2006. First through eighth graders were included in one classroom. Children learned to read and write using slates, and eventually progressed to study subjects such as arithmetic, spelling, English, language (German or Latin), grammar, history, and geography. Students did not usually attend high school, and had to travel to Escondido if they wished to do so. In 1909, only three students from Poway graduated from high school. Women who went on to more school from there usually had teaching ambitions. Education, while compulsory and considered a worthwhile pastime, had few far-reaching applications for Poway's farmers' children. Enrollment in the Poway School first through eighth grades did not reach 100 until 1932.
Today, the Poway Unified School District (PUSD) has grown to more than 30 elementary, middle (6th through 8th grades), and high (9th through 12th grades) schools, and even has a home-schooling program. PUSD has a record of high performance[citation needed], and one of its students, Anurag Kashyap (an eighth grader at the time), became the 2005 National Spelling Bee Champion after winning on the word "appoggiatura".
Poway's transportation history parallels that of early California. In 1888 the first stagecoach began to service the towns from San Diego to Escondido, including Poway. The stage made one stop in town, at the Poway Post Office, and also delivered mail to the farmers who would wait along the road for its arrival. The men would trot alongside the coach and inquire as to the state of the mail, and thus receive letters without requiring it to stop. Eight to ten passengers could accompany the stagecoach on its three-day journey for a modest $1.00 fee, or purchase a round trip for the bargain price of $1.50. The route itself, though not treacherous when passing through Poway, did pose a significant challenge to the team and driver at various points. Windy mountain trails often caused the stage to turn over, spilling both mail and passengers onto the rocky turf. The city of San Diego discontinued the stage line in 1912, when the advent of the automobile facilitated an easier and less time-consuming method of mail delivery. Poway established a County Road Station in 1920, to oil and maintain the roads so that automobiles could use them with ease. The road station remained in operation until 1961, when Poway achieved an 80% paved road rate. To this day, though, the town still boasts a number of dirt roads, for use by cars, horses, bikers, pedestrians, and hikers. Portions of what is currently Pomerado Road, a major north/south artery, were once U.S. Route 395 in California[5].
Poway's greatest change started in the 1950s when water came to the valley. On January 29, 1954 an election was held on the formation of the Poway Municipal Water District, which passed with an overwhelming majority of 210 ayes to 32 nayes. At a second election on March 25, 1954, the citizens voted to annex to the San Diego County Water Authority. At a third election held April 22, 1954, the citizens voted to incur bonded debt of $600,000 to build a water system. The first water delivery was made in July 1954 to Gordon's Grocery on Garden Road. In 1972 Poway Dam was built to provide a dependable supply of water.
In 1957, the Pomerado County Water District was organized to provide sewer service to 1,610 acres (6.5 km2) along Pomerado Road. In 1959 the first subdivision homes were built and sold as Poway Valley Homes and Poway's population began to climb. On December 1, 1980, the City of Poway incorporated and the two districts, Poway Municipal Water and Pomerado County Water, became part of the City structure. The district issued a restriction for watering lawns. It allowed people to water their lawns three days a week each week. But, soon after a year or two, these restrictions were lifted.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city covers an area of 39.2 square miles (102 km2), 99.78% of it land, and 0.22% of it water.
Poway experiences a semi-arid climate (Köppen climate classification BSh).

Spartan Stores Announces Third Quarter Fiscal 2013 Financial Results
Spartan Stores, Inc., (Nasdaq: SPTN) a leading regional grocery distributor and retailer, today reported financial results for its 16-week third quarter of fiscal 2013 ended January 5, 2013.
Third Quarter Results
Consolidated net sales for the 16-week third quarter decreased 0.9 percent to $789.9 million compared to $797.2 million in the same period last year as a result of lower distribution and supermarket sales, partially offset by increased fuel sales.
Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) for the quarter was $25.1 million, or 3.2 percent of net sales, compared to $26.0 million, or 3.3 percent of net sales last year.
Adjusted earnings from continuing operations for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 were $5.2 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, excluding an after tax debt extinguishment charge of $1.4 million associated with the early retirement of a portion of the Company's Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 and an after tax charge for acquisition related professional fees of $0.3 million. For the third quarter of fiscal 2012, adjusted earnings from continuing operations were $5.1 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, excluding an after tax gain on the sale of assets of $0.4 million and an after tax expense associated with the early termination of the Company's interest rate swap agreement of $0.5 million. Reported earnings from continuing operations for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 were $3.5 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to $5.0 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2012. "Despite ongoing macroeconomic challenges, we made continued progress in the execution of our key strategic priorities during the third quarter," stated Dennis Eidson, Spartan's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We continued to invest in both our distribution and retail segments by opening new stores, remodeling existing stores, refining our promotional efforts and strengthening our private brand offerings. We acquired an upscale, high-volume grocery store in West Michigan, further solidifying our leading conventional supermarket share in this market and we recently announced an expansion of our distribution customer base in Ohio. In addition, we successfully refinanced a portion of our Convertible Senior Notes, which enabled us to lengthen the maturity of our debt obligations and reduce our overall interest expense."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Through a five-year US Food and Drug Administration grant for nearly $500,000, South Dakota State University Senior Microbiologist Seema Das aims to determine whether a test that detects Salmonella in human food can do the same in raw petfood.
The first year the test will be validated, and then either adjustments or expansion of the testing will be done in subsequent years. The work will involve multi-lab validation with collaborators at Iowa State, Texas A & M, the University of Minnesota and the New Jersey Department of Agriculture. "This is not only a pet health issue, it is a human health issue because everything is interlinked," said Das. "If the petfood is contaminated with Salmonella, it goes from the petfood to you."
After reviewing recalls, Das and her research team suspect that mice or other rodents may be possible sources of contamination. Rodents and bugs can be problematic in factories where food is produced, said Das, and Salmonella is a common pathogen in mice. The SDSU team, consisting of veterinarian Russ Daly, bacteriologist Laura Ruesch, microbiologists Marciel Aguiar and Cindy Watt and two undergraduate students, began working on the project in September 2013.

Big Easy po-boy at Streetcar Po-boys I've never been to New Orleans, but, lucky for me, the Big Easy's cuisine has spread to every corner of our country faster than an Emeril Lagasse clone army on turbo fanboats. Las Vegas itself now has several worthwhile Cajun eateries, and you can add Streetcar Po-boys to that list. They've got everything from alligator to oyster po-boys, but I recommend the Big Easy. It's a simple sandwich anchored by crispy gulf shrimp — but the details make the difference. The shrimp is battered in cornmeal and fried to a crunchy golden brown, then piled with shredded lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise. And oh, the bread: Streetcar serves their po-boys on authentic Leidenheimer French baguettes, a pillowy white bread with a micro-thin crust that flakes at the slightest touch. The plate is finished with house-made potato chips and coleslaw. It's a full meal, but any self-respecting foodie who wants the full immersion will finish with an order of beignets. — Chris Bitonti The Cure at Distill So-called "signature" burgers are often a letdown — the same old assemblage of beef, cheese and fixings, slammed between a bun and served under the guise of being a house specialty. So I'm confident in saying that the most unusual burger in the city is currently being served at this massive new mega-bar and lounge. The all-American classic begins its makeover with a patty that combines beef with pork for extra fattiness. Soy-marinated onions scream "umami!," jalapeño jelly adds a sweet and spicy kick, and crispy ribbons of fried parsnips lend a pleasant bitterness. What sounds like a nonsensical mishmash of ingredients will actually make sense when it hits every taste receptor on your tongue. — Debbie Lee

All Critics (207) | Top Critics (39) | Fresh (180) | Rotten (18) | DVD (32)
A fine accomplishment from all involved, especially Charlie Kauffman, who has written a bewildering and captivating movie, which bares his mind, heart and soul.
At all times, "Adaptation." carries the thrillingly unpredictable charge of a film writing itself before your eyes. Spike Jonze matches Charlie Kaufman's tumble through time, neuroticism, fact and fiction with depictions of creation at a cellular level.
Adult stuff only but hilarious and fresh.
An impressive follow-up to Being John Malkovich, Adaptation is even more playful, amusing, metanarrative and metaphysical than Jonze's first film, plus it has Nicolas Cage in a dual role and Meryl Streep in one of her wildest turns.
Adaptation would all be insufferably clever-clever were its motivation not so genuine. Instead it is experimental, funny, with a tightly-repressed anger and a desire to dig out truth rather than take refuge in the usual artifice.
Some parts of the film are classic subversions of Hollywood convention that are intriguing by themselves but don't quite gel as a whole.
It will confound some and inspire others to riff endlessly on its mysteries.
It's almost mind-numbing to think how Mr. Kaufman could possibly follow-up this gem. I'm just glad I don't have to write it, but I'd be happy to watch what he goes through to create it.
For two-thirds of its running time the film is close to genius. But there's still no third act.
Adaptation could very well be one of the best films of the year -- it truly is a roller coaster ride of pioneering pandemonium, and shouldn't be missed.
Really, did we need Kaufman to point out how boneheaded Hollywood can be? And does he do all that much better when, ultimately, he looks to mainstream conventions for the means to put the finishing touches on his tale?
Kaufman once again pens a brilliant mind bender chock full of originality.
Kaufman is nothing if not brilliant...
[Adaptation suggests] that there is something 'not of this earth' about humanity, that we are meant for higher, better things than mere adaptation.
If you liked the surreal Being John Malkovich...then you won't want to miss this collaboration.
Thanks a lot, Charlie Kaufman. Thanks to you, I and millions of others can no longer use writer's block as a valid excuse for the sh*ttiness of our writing.
Blurring fact and fiction more than any film in recent memory, Adaptation is a brilliantly bizarre and completely unique experience.
It may be dressed up with some clever language and A-list actors, but it's still the equivalent of the smart kid in class who ignored the assignment.
...trying way too hard to be unique.
Trazendo Nicolas Cage em excelente desempenho, o filme faz uma cr�tica �cida ao modus operandi de Hollywood e � pr�pria auto-indulg�ncia de seu autor, o genial Charlie Kaufman.
Audience Reviews for Adaptation
Adaptation is one of the most intelligent and original films I've ever seen. Charlie Kaufman did a fantastic job with the script and it makes the audience think; this is something that not a lot of films do. All the acting is great especially by Nicolas Cage who convincingly portrays two people. I really liked the main character, Charlie, who is someone we can relate to. This is a film that leaves a lasting impact not only because it's so unique, but because of how emotionally powerful it is. One of my favorites.

When you view this film, the first thing that strikes you is how non-mediocre Nicolas Cage is. He's been in so much crap lately, that it's easy to forget there's actually a gifted performer hiding beneath his resigned exterior.
In this brilliantly written semi-biopic, he plays a dual role as both Charlie Kaufman and his fictional brother Donald. Any serious writer, whether novice or professional, will find much to relate to in the anguish, writer's block and mental overanalyzing that transcends within Charlie's head. They even talk about the same screenwriting book that I currently have on my bedside table. And if you've ever suffered from social awkwardness, this nails it perfectly too.
Director Spike Jonze, whom I'm best familiar with through his appearances in Jackass, creates intellectual magic in his collaboration with Kaufman. The story gets a little weird sometimes, as you might imagine, but never to the point where it comes off as pretentious. It's the best kind of creativity at work here, where its originality is only exceeded by the fantastic performances. There's so many wonderful elements to this film, both visually and internally, that you feel grateful for every second you get to spend within its meta-world.
An amazing vehicle for Cage, that really changes your view of him as an actor. With this in mind, it also makes it more tragic to witness his descent into B-movie territory. I still have faith though, that some day - perhaps when we least expect it - he'll reclaim his long lost dignity and muster up another tour-de-force turn like this one. Not likely, but here's hoping!
Super Reviewer
A fun and unique film with a great double performance from Nicholas Cage. His performance is underrated, because he embodies both personas of the Kaufman brothers so well. The real Charlie Kaufman's script is poignant, ironic, witty, and heartfelt. Jonze implements a much more accessible tone and atmosphere for his sophomore film, which proves to be leagues ahead of 'Being John Malkovich'. Full of pathos, laughs, wit, and originality, 'Adaptation' is almost genious.
MoreSuper Reviewer
Scattershot almost stream of consciousness mess of a movie. Meryl Streep was nominated for an Oscar for this? I'm a fan of hers but her part is a nothing and while she acquits herself professionally there is nothing special about her work.

Adaptation Quotes
- Herself:
- I suppose I do have one unembarrassed passion. I want to know what it feels like to care about something passionately.
- Robert McKee:
- And God help you if you use voice-over in your work, my friends. God help you! That's flaccid, sloppy writing. Any idiot can write voice-over narration to explain the thoughts of the character.
- Donald Kaufman:
- You are what you love, not what loves you. That's what I decided a long time ago.
- Robert McKee:
- Nothing happens in the world? Are you out of your fucking mind? People are murdered every day. There's genocide, war, corruption. Every fucking day, somewhere in the world, somebody sacrifices his life to save someone else. Every fucking day, someone, somewhere takes a conscious decision to destroy someone else. People find love, people lose it. For Christ's sake, a child watches her mother beaten to death on the steps of a church. Someone goes hungry. Somebody else betrays his best friend for a woman. If you can't find that stuff in life, then you, my friend, don't know crap about life! And why the FUCK are you wasting my two precious hours with your movie? I don't have any use for it! I don't have any bloody use for it!

If they are your neighbor'sSubmitted by Helixx (not verified) on Mon, 08/29/2011 - 1:28pm.
If they are your neighbor's branches and debris then give it back to them and let them take care of it. The flip-side is that the city/county don't own the trees either so why is it not fair for you to pay but it IS fair for THEM to pay to remove the debris? »

Kim Kardashian has come under some fire for her parenting skills. Do you think she's a good mother?
Is Kim Kardashian a good mother?
Around the Web
Kim totally has a point, not that I really want to admit that but she does. Who is anyone else do judge what she is doing with her child when nobody knows? They keep their child out of the news as much as possible which I think is great. When the baby goes to sleep or if they have somewhere to be, they actually can have a
babysitter and go. They are allowed to have a social life. Don't knock them....you have no idea what their parenting skills are. Nobody is perfect. Ihave a 16 year old....I know I wasnt a perfect mother but my daughter is awesome. And of course the pics she takes...who cares? They aren't of anyone else but her. North doesn'tb have normal parents, they are famous, and she will learn that eventually. When it comes time for her to see the pics, she will make her own decision about how she feels. Damn, leave them alone.
I don't know if she is a good mother or not but time will tell, I don't think she should have left her baby just to be with UGLY Kanye and party. That family is just a mess God bless them all, that's all I have to say on that.
I like her but as a mother she is not ok

Hi, I was wondering (after I lost a couple of games) how I can have a bigger impact on the game, especially as a jungler. This season I got up to 1400 elo and stayed there for a while, but now I got down to 1300. When I think of it, I tell my self it is because I don't do enough. Let me explain I enjoy playing in jungle, and I used to be good. I gank, I ward and I try to help when I can. I do not die often, but I do not get a lot of kills, I focus on giving the advantage to my team, it doesn't seem to wortk though. My ganks sometimes fail, but even when they work I can't win... Thanks in advance

US 7989064 B2 Abstract The coating the tungsten powder particles with a ceramic barrier suppresses the leachability of tungsten in aqueous media. Preferably, the ceramic coating substantially encapsulates each particle of tungsten and has a thickness of at least about 30 nm and, more preferable, from about 200 nm to about 500 nm. Examples of ceramic coatings that may be used include, but are not limited to, aluminum oxide (alumina), aluminum oxyhydroxide (AlOOH), zirconium oxide (zirconia), cerium oxide (ceria), hafnium oxide (hafnia), and magnesium oxide (magnesia).
Claims(6) 1. A tungsten powder having a coating of a ceramic material that substantially encapsulates each individual tungsten particle, wherein the coating is hydrolyzed trimethylaluminum.
2. A tungsten powder having a coating of a ceramic material that substantially encapsulates each individual tungsten particle, wherein the coating is selected from aluminum oxide, aluminum oxyhydroxide, zirconium oxide, cerium oxide, hafnium oxide, and magnesium oxide.

Description This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/593,534, filed Jan. 24, 2005. The use of tungsten powder or pressed tungsten powder compacts in pure or mixtures with other powders under natural conditions in the presence of water and oxygen (e.g., air or dissolved oxygen) leads to the formation of a water-soluble, tungsten-containing species. The first step of the reaction can be described as follows:
The monotungstate ion, WO4 2−, reacts with H+, resulting in the formation of the soluble metatungstate anion [H2W12O40]6−:
The formation of this polyoxometalate anion is detectable by its typical UV absorption maximum at 256 nm (molar extinction coefficient, ε256=3.8�104 L(mol�cm)−1). By coating the tungsten powder particles with a ceramic barrier such as alumina, the leachability of tungsten is prevented or greatly reduced. Preferably, the ceramic coating substantially encapsulates each particle of tungsten and has a thickness of at least about 30 nm and, more preferable, from about 200 nm to about 500 nm. Examples of ceramic coatings that may be used include, but are not limited to, aluminum oxide (alumina), aluminum oxyhydroxide (AlOOH), zirconium oxide (zirconia), cerium oxide (ceria), hafnium oxide (hafnia), and magnesium oxide (magnesia). Preferably, the coating is applied in a fluidized bed of tungsten particles using a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) reaction. Similar methods have been used for coating phosphor particles. Examples of these methods are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,220,243, 5,244,750, 6,309,700, and 6,064,150. For a better understanding of the present invention, together with other and further objects, advantages and capabilities thereof, reference is made to the following disclosure and appended claims. A spheroidized tungsten powder of (particle size >3 micrometers) was coated with a ceramic material in a fluidized bed reactor using a CVD reaction of trimethylaluminum (TMA) and water vapor. The hydrolyzed TMA coating and CVD process are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,080,928 and 5,220,243 which are incorporated herein by reference. The hydrolyzed TMA coating is believed to be an aluminum oxyhydroxide, but may be varied in composition between aluminum oxide and aluminum hydroxide depending upon the reaction conditions. The CVD reaction can be described as follows:
The tungsten particles were coated in the fluidized bed reactor for various lengths of time (from 0.5 hours to 3.5 hours) in order to produce coating thicknesses from 30 nm-500 nm. Coated and uncoated tungsten powders were subjected to a leach test performed in an aqueous buffer solution. The buffer solution having a pH of 7.2 was prepared by dissolving 4.03 mg KCl, 50.6 mg CaSO4.2H2O, 123.2 mg MgSO4.7H2O, 96.0 mg NaHCO3, and 209.3 mg of a noncomplexing tertiary amine, 3-(N-morpholino) propanesulfonic acid (MOPS) per liter of water. Ten-gram amounts of the powders were added to 500-ml volumes of the aqueous buffer solution in 1-liter NALGENE� (PP) Erlenmeyer flasks. The 1-liter flasks containing the samples were loosely covered with an aluminum foil and continuously shaken in a dark, thermostated room (72� F.) with a LAB-LINE� Force orbital open air shaker, Model 4690, for a period of 28 days. Periodic 25-ml samples of the leachate solutions were taken and analyzed for pH, oxygen content, and tungsten content at 7, 14, 21, and 28 days. A constant oxygen concentration of 8.3�0.2 mg/liter was observed for the entire testing period of 28 days. The results of the leach tests are shown in Table I. Coating thickness was determined using a sputtering rate of approximately 0.1 nm/s (based on a tantalum oxide depth-profiling standard). The completeness of the ceramic coating on the particles was evaluated using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy by observing the attenuation of the tungsten photoelectron peak. In each case, the coating attenuated the W signal by at least 99% indicating that the coating substantially encapsulated the individual tungsten particles. As can be seen, the amount of tungsten in the leachate of the uncoated spheroidized tungsten powder (uncoated control) increases from 0.43% of the initial tungsten amount at 7 days to 0.75% at 28 days. Whereas, in all cases, the ceramic coating suppressed the leachability of tungsten as compared to the uncoated control and in fact the amount of leached tungsten becomes almost undetectable as coating thickness increases.
While there has been shown and described what are at the present considered the preferred embodiments of the invention, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

I'm experiencing a strange problem with Nikon ViewNX 2 when viewing my NEF files (mostly landscape pictures shot on a Nikon D90): most images appear with banding or posterization in the sky, but when I transfer and open the same images in CaptureNX 2 the sky is rendered perfectly.I am using a Dell U2711 color-calibrated monitor and think that this behaviour is quite strange. It occurs in almost every photo that has some sky on it, particularly in the darker parts. Could it be that ViewNX uses a different rendering algorithm, maybe for faster display? Or maybe it oversharpens the image?I checked that the preview in ViewNX shows directly the RAW file (not the JPEG part), and this effect is noticeable at different zoom levels (100%, screen fit, etc.).I uploaded two screenshots of the same photo, one taken from ViewNX and the other one from CaptureNX.Since both screenshots were saved as PNG files the quality is not as good as in RAW (NEF), but you can still see the differences.You can compare both screenshots here:Screenshot from ViewNX (ugly)http://picturepush.com/public/5573472Screenshot from CaptureNX (fine)http://picturepush.com/public/5573474Please note that in ViewNX the RAW button in the upper left corner is yellow (activated). As far as I know that means that I am seeing the actual NEF file and not the embedded JPEG preview.The other thing I notice is that colors are slightly different, even if the NEF file is the same in both cases (without any editing or setting applied, straight from camera).Any ideas?Thanks in advance.Marc
Just basic troubleshooting first. Are you running current versions of the programs?Member ChuckV has a similar thread going. Not sure if he's been able to successfully resolve it (re: the rendering not the posterization) yet.

Check your cache and refresh settings in ViewNX2. I'm away from my PP desktop at the moment, so I can't give you the exact path. But from what I remember when Nikon forced me to give up Nikon View 5 and go to VNX, I would set the cache to the same scratch drive as my other PP software, and force a refresh everytime I reloaded the thumbnails.
Okay - got to my PP machine. Suggest a couple of things here:1. Move out any JPEG preview files and makes sure you're only seeing/editing NEF files in your folders.2. Check to make sure your color management settings match what I set in VNX2 (attached)3. Dump your VNX2 Cache - Preferences->Thumbnail Cache Settings->Clear Cache.4. Restart VNX2 and see if it matches CNX2.

Michael Kors, Project Runway judge for six seasons (and counting), had no idea the show would be so popular. "At first, I kept thinking, O.K., gay men will watch it, fashionistas will watch it, and we might have a few people hoping to see Heidi Klum in a bra. What normal person is going to watch this?" he told Vanity Fair. "I think we managed to pull the curtain back and show the world how interesting this all is and how hard it is — and, let's be honest, how insane fashion people are." Oh yes, Michael. They are insane. [VF]

Was wondering to see If you bought a home ?
One size does not fit all & on a general,open forum, you would get a general answer.
I am currently working with a First time buyer couple , both, concerned with the same aspects of home buying, as you ; resale, school, commute, community & amenities
They actually read a series of my posts here,on Trulia, before deciding to work with me.
Both are commuters, 1 travels to NYC everyday.
If you'd like me to put you in touch with them, Please contact me directly .

If you have any further interest, let me know.
Which township did you finally decide to buy a house in?
As the time has passed, I have new statistics.... Let me know and I can pass them on to you.
Many Thanks,

Let me know If you need any further assistance in home buying in the area of your interest.
West windsor and Plainsboro are rated best school system in NJ. However, property taxes are higher compared to the other towns.
Monroe on the other had have good school system, closer to NYC Park-N-Ride and property values and taxes are less compared to West windsor and Plainsboro. Furthermore, you will get much younger homes in Monroe than West Windsor and Plainsboro for the same price.
For more details, I can be reached at my Cell# 732-277-9321.
Plainsboro West Windsor is popular for its school district and its proximity to Princeton Junction train station. The new Princeton Hospital at Plainsboro is also an added feature.
Monroe and Robbinsville have new home constructions and more reasonable pricing than West Windsor Plainsboro.
If you need more information on these areas, I will be happy to help. I am a local agent and you can reach me directly at (609) 606-5077.
I thought of the same aspects when I was buying my own home.
Among the areas you describe here, most steady areas would be West Windsor, Plainsboro, Monroe and then Robbinsville in order of best purchase to resale value ratio as per current market trends.
Robbinsville is good and progressing steadily besides announcements like Amazon's mega warehouse coming there in a couple of years makes it really worth considering... At the same time it is not as close to Princeton Junction as West Windsor / Princeton Junction area is.
The resale value will also depend upon when have you bought the property. If you buy in near future and sell it after 10 years you would most likely make some profit even after paying your mortgage as the prices are more realistic as of now.
Please call or write to me and I can share the statistics I have about these areas with you.
Many Thanks,

Storage cabinets Kristopher from Painesville, OH– Verified Buyer I had one that I purchased many years ago along with some wall cabinets. It seems like the price had doubled for individual units. So I decided to purchase the 3 pack. It basically worked out to be 3 cabinets for the price of 2. Building the cabinet is fairly easy. All 3 had the appropriate parts and materials. There is one section that won't allow you to tighten 2 of the bolts and cams because of a fixed shelf. A slight oversight by the manufacturer. That hasn't affected the sturdiness of the units. Moving the units can be challenging due to the weight in combination with the plastic legs. I recommend having 2 people or being VERY careful. I like these and they look nice. |
