It is hardly uncommon for officials at organizations that have just hired new leaders to express great enthisiasm about the men or women they've just selected. It's a little rarer, though, when those expressions of satisfaction also ring loudly with wonderment, as if the organization is almost surprised by its good fortune in lassoing the candidate. And rarer still when the organization is widely viewed as a preeminent one that is accustomed to getting what it wants.

What New Threats and Conflicts Will Emerge in 2014?
In August 2009, President Obama declared in a speech before the Veterans of Foreign Wars: "One of the best ways to lead our troops wisely is to prevent the conflicts that cost American blood and treasure tomorrow." As I previously noted, the U.S. military has a terrible record of predicting the locations and types of conflicts that it will face. For the past five years, in an effort to assist policymakers in anticipating and planning for thirty contingencies that threaten U.S. national interests, we at the Center for Preventive Action have conducted a Preventive Priorities Survey (PPS). Each year the PPS evaluates ongoing and potential violent conflicts based on the impact they could have on U.S. interests and their likelihood of occurring in the coming year. Read more »

Hike has spread its wings in the messaging app market. The Indian messaging app company has acquired Zip Phone, a US based VoIP service provider. This is a big deal for the company as the CEO explained that Hike users have been requesting the free calls service technology. Hike and Zip phone have not disclosed any financial details so far.
Hike's CEO said that "Zip phone's technology will allow us to bring free voice calling to the market much faster. Incidentally, this is one of the top requested features from our users as well." Hike plans to incorporate this feature in its messaging app.
Even with the over 35 million users, Hike hopes that more smartphone users will start using the app. Zip is accessible to many people as its available for both iOS and Android platforms and it uses Wi-Fi network to enable phone call.
Anuj Jain, the CEO for Zip Phone commented on the deal saying, "As a start up enthusiasts, I had been keeping a close eye on hike and its developments and I am excited to now be part of one of the biggest and fastest growing startups in the Indian internet space and finally, building for India."
With over 90% user base from India, Hike claims it handles over 10 billion messages every month. The company claims that that last year it raised $65 million through funding led by Tiger Global.
Though the company is doing well mostly in its place of origin, it needs to gain a worldwide user base so as to compete with other messaging apps like WhatsApp, Line, and WeChat. The acquisition of the new app could help it get more subscribers worldwide.

Google Drive, One Drive, or Dropbox have all become popular with cloud storage but there is a new wave blowing – that of personal cloud data storage and to this end Seagate has stepped in to provide Personal Cloud service.
The storage giant showcased its new Iaas, Infrastructure-as-a-Service products at the CES 2015. According to Seagate, their aim is to provide storage services to individuals who wish to access music, photos, and videos anytime anywhere and they will be able to do so using their phones and tablets. Small businesses can also benefit from the service as they are able to securely store, retrieve and share data stored on the personal cloud drive.
Small businesses are bound to benefit from this service more than individual customers. Why so? For starters, the storage space. The personal cloud line offers 3-5 terabytes while the personal cloud 2 bay line gives 4, 6, and 8 TB.
Here is another reason, for security reasons. Personal cloud 2 bay can be set up in RAID( Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks) 1 mode or better yet, it is possible to use all storage for file storage.
The device is compatible with the Apple Time Machine and continously and automatically backs up windows and mac. Apart fom the storage devices being NAS, they can also compliment public cloud service when configured. Better yet, they can automatically back up to the popular providers like HiDrive, DropBox, Amazon S3, Baidu, Box, and Yandex disk. The device has an option where it can be synced to Google Drive, Baidu and DropBox.
Additional apps can be installed as the device has a built-in app manager. BitTorrent Sync, ElephantDrive and WordPress can all be installed. Also, the software development kit enables third-party developers to come up with their own services or to intergrate such with web based and other cloud services.
This service is benefitial to individuals but more benefitial to small businesses. Considering businesses are out to reduce their cost, this would work well for them as its inexpensive.`
Samsung's newest phone, the Galaxy A7, stands out in 2 ways; its is the most thin phone of all its Galaxy A collections and a lot of emphasis has also been put on social networking. For a while now, there has been many rumors on its release that its actual realease doesnt feel so new.
The Galaxy A7 is the thinnest but it shares some of its qualities with other A series phone. For example, both the Galaxy A5 and the Samsung Galaxy A3 feature the same kind of metallic unibody as the Galaxy A7.
Other features include a 260mAh battery, 5.5 inch 1080p saMOLED display, a slot for a microSD card of up to 64GB, 16GB storage, and a 2GB RAM. The main camera has LED light, autofocus and 13 megapixels while the front has 5 megapixels and a sensor.
Buyers can also choose between 2 sim cards and 1 sim card phone. The 1 sim card phone has 32-bit Exynos 5430 processor while the double sim features a 64-bit snapdragon 615 octa-core processor. Currently, the phone uses the Android 4.4 KitKat but this is expected to change soon after the launch of Android 5.0 Lollipop.
What makes the Galaxy A7 good for social networking? To start with, the phone has an "auto selfie" setting on the front camera. It also has gesture and voice command features which come in handy when taking pictures.
Another feaure is the "ultra wide Shot". For people that like sharing their pictures on social media, the LTE 4G makes it so easy and fast to browse and share.
Galaxy A7 is expected to retail at about $600 and will be available in selected markets for the first quarter of 2015.

Sometimes the courts completely buy-in to cultural prejudices and no amount of facts or reasoning can sway them otherwise. We see that in Dred Scott & Plessy v. Ferguson. The same arguments that lost in Scott & Plessy would prevail in later cases. Here arguments supporting traditional marriage are simply dismissed as were the arguments in Scott & Plessy. The idea there is no rational reason to support traditional marriage other than animus is absurd on it's face. The court demonstrates as it did in Scott & Plessy that it is not immune from cultural madness. What is that old saying, "Those whom the Gods destroy they first drive mad."

2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe First Impressions
Hyundai knowingly or not planted a seed in young minds in the late nineties when they launched the Tiburon. Only a few years earlier, a company called EA introduced a driving game you may have heard of: The Need for Speed. This game created a frenzy.

The volume of global merchandise trade grew by 5.5% in 2007, according to a preliminary assessment of trade figures from the World Trade Organisation (WTO). Germany topped the WTO's ranking of leading exporters, with 9.5% of global sales last year. China and America were close behind. Together, these three accounted for more than a quarter of world exports. Outside the top three, only Japan has an export share above 5%. America was by some distance the world's biggest importer in 2007, sucking in a staggering $2 trillion of merchandise from abroad. Its share of global imports, 14.2%, was almost twice that of the next largest importer, Germany. China was ranked third among importers, with 6.7%.

European Tour "drama on the world stage" by Saatchi & Saatchi London
Rating: 5.0
By Robin Hicks, campaignlive.co.uk, Friday, 12 March 2004 12:00AM
The ad, directed by Antoine Bardou-Jacquet at Partizan, was named TV ad of the year. It also won the best European and cinema commercial and a silver in the virals category. The win comes a week after it swept the board at the Creative Circle Awards.
Clemmow Hornby Inge was named agency of the year thanks to its "seal", "barrel", "barrel miss" and "postman" spots for Tango and "present" for The Daily Telegraph.
The production company of the year was Partizan, which produced 118 118 for WCRS, United Airlines for Fallon London and Tango for CHI.
Tom Carty and Walter Campbell won the chairman's award for their outstanding contribution to the industry. Carty, now directing through Gorgeous, and Campbell, a co-founder of Campbell Doyle Dye, worked on "surfer" for Guinness, "twister" for Volvo and "unexpected" for Dunlop while they were a creative team at AMV BBDO.

The sound of giggling filled the hallway as a seven year old ran to his best friend's bedroom door and opens it. He crawls onto his friend's bed and sits on the four year old.

The child in the bed tries to push him off, his red eyes trying hard to stay open.

The previous posters all have good advice, those are great places. Be careful of the neighborhood the Rathskeller is in, though.
I work in Detroit, and I would still never visit Rathskeller without about 10 buddies. Oz, one of the bartenders at Nemo's (a Detroit landmark on Michigan Ave.) got a chain to the face when he wouldn't give up his car keys. I don't think I'm being dramatic when I say it's a third world country. You will probably not see cops, even if you call 911.
It's a great authentic German fest hall experience, once you get in. Their Oktoberfest celebration is fantastic.
Slows has a fantastic beer selection, but it can be tricky getting a spot now that they've been on TV and everybody knows about them.
I personally like the pizza at Motor City Brew Works better than the beer. Traffic Jam has better beer normally, especially if they have their Doppelbock in. They feature an oak aged raspberry frambois once in a while that is heaven in a glass. The brewmaster does whatever the hell he wants, on his time-frame - which sometimes sucks.
Detroit Brew Works is hit and miss on beer quality, but they normally have great food.
Dragonmead, meh. The beer is OK, but they haven't been aging it properly - it clearly tastes green. Too much demand I guess, although they are ramping up production shortly.
Kuhnhenn's has great beer, but it can get pricey drinking there. Their bourbon barrel 4th Dimentia old ale is awesome, but you need a cab after 1
Wow, great responses by all. I'm due into DTW at 1pm today, so I will check out at least one of the places before crossing the border. How's the traffic in/around Detroit during evening rush hour?
@Airplanedoc: Thanks for the heads up on getting back into the states. My flight is super early (in the air @605am) on Friday and I'd hate to miss it due to poor planning on my part.
The crossing through Port Huron only took about 1/2 hour last evening (back to the US) but it was a Sunday and not as crowded as many other times. All of the booths were open (about 12 of them).
Going INTO Canada at 5 PM yesterday, though, had the cars lined up for miles and miles.
I didn't go near the Detroit crossing, though, and it is probably totally different. There are several links to websites to check the wait time at all the crossings (both Canada and US) by googling "border crossing wait times" and the name of the particular crossing you're using. The fees for the bridges are around $3.25 each way.
Decided that I'm going to try Cadieux Cafe for a late lunch.
EDIT: Joke's on me. Misread the time. Won't open for another 1.5 hrs.
Ye Old Taproom wouldn't come up in the GPS, but Dragonmead did. Guess I'll check it out.
If you haven't eaten yet. Program you GPS for Lazy Bones BBQ on Groesbeck, just a little bit away from D'mead and pick up a sandwhich or a plate of q and take it to D'mead. Or ask them at the brewery for their book of take out menues and call and have it delivered. D'mead has burgers but allow outside food. Lazybone's sandwhiches are the bomb.

Then you haven't studied
Then you haven't studied enough apparently. There are ways to prevent an idea of being duplicated. Yes, even digitally. BC is the prime example of this, since it has special algorithms preventing this from happening. Of course, these can be hacked, but it would take the power of a government to do it and money to build a super computer vastly more powerful than current supercomputers (more than 100 times). They would never be able to hide such an attempt and I would even welcome such an attempt, cause it would damage their own cause if they did so.
Besides, was it the characteristic of being created from thin air that allowed fiat currencies to fail? No, it was the ability to DUPLICATE the currency without limits. BC does not have this problem.

Maryland Transportation Fund Amendment, Question 1 (2014)

The Maryland Transportation Fund Amendment, Question 1 was on the November 4, 2014 ballot in Maryland as a legislatively-referred constitutional amendment, where it was approved. The measure was designed to provide for the establishment of a constitutionally-defined transportation trust fund and require that revenue in the fund be used for paying transportation-related bond debt and for the construction and maintenance of highways. The measure required that the revenue in the fund not be transferred to the state general fund or a special fund, except to the Maryland Transportation Authority, Maryland Transportation Authority Fund, counties, municipalities and Baltimore or when the governor declares a fiscal emergency or the legislature obtains a three-fifths vote in both chambers.[1]
At the time of the measure's passing, Maryland had a Transportation Trust Fund, but this fund was defined by state statute. Question 1 would define this fund by the Maryland Constitution. Utilized to pay for highways and motor vehicle, transit, aviation and port projects, the fund's revenue comes from motor fuel taxes, motor vehicle excise taxes, motor vehicle registration and licensing fees, bond proceeds, rental car sales taxes, some of the state's corporate income tax, and profits from transportation services.[2]
Election results
|Maryland Amendment 1
Election results via: Maryland State Board of Elections
Text of measure
Ballot title
The official ballot text was as follows:[3]
|Question 1
Constitutional Amendment (Ch. 422 of the 2013 Legislative Session)
(Amending Article III by adding Section 53 to the Maryland Constitution)
Limits the use of Transportation Trust Funds to the payment of principal and interest on transportation bonds and for constructing and maintaining an adequate highway system or any other transportation-related purpose. Also prohibits the transfer of Transportation Trust Funds into the General Fund or a special fund of the State, except for: (1) an allocation or use of highway user revenues for local governments or (2) a transfer of funds to the Maryland Transportation Authority or the Maryland Transportation Authority Fund. Transportation Trust Funds may be used for non-transportation related purposes or transferred to the general fund or a special fund only if the Governor declares a fiscal emergency and the General Assembly approves legislation, by a three-fifths vote of both houses, concurring with the use or transfer of the funds.
For the Constitutional Amendment
Constitutional changes
- See also: Article III, Maryland Constitution
Question 1 amended Section 53 of Article III of the Constitution of Maryland to read:[1]
(A) There is a Transportation Trust Fund.
(B) Except as provided in subsection (E) of this section, the funds in the Transportation Trust Fund may be used only:
(C) Except as provided in subsection (E) of this section, funds in the Transportation Trust Fund may not be transferred to the General Fund or a Special Fund of the State.
(D) This section does not apply to:
(E) Funds in the Transportation Trust Fund may be used for a purpose not related to transportation or transferred to the General Fund of the State if:
Fiscal note
The fiscal note developed by the Maryland Department of Legislative Services was as follows:[5]
State Effect: If adopted, the constitutional amendment would eliminate any transfers or distributions from TTF to the general fund or a special fund beginning in FY 2015. The overall effect on TTF revenues and expenditures is potentially significant but cannot be reliably estimated at this time and would depend on whether, and to what extent, TTF revenue distributions are not modified or transfers are not made as a result of the constitutional amendment.
Local Effect: None. It is assumed that the potential for increased costs to notify voters of any constitutional amendments proposed by the General Assembly, and to include any proposed constitutional amendments on the ballot at the next general election, will have been anticipated in local boards of elections' budgets.
Small Business Effect: None.[4]
The campaign in support of the amendment was led by the Coalition to Protect Maryland's Transportation Funds.[6]
The following officials sponsored the amendment:[7]

Other arguments in favor of the amendment included:
- Donald C. Fry, President of the Greater Baltimore Committee, stated, "Transportation projects do require long-term planning and are usually paid for over an extended period of time.

Former officials
The following former official voted against the amendment:[13]
- Sen. E. J. Pipkin (R-36)
- Rep. Andrew Serafini (R-2A) said, "It's not a lockbox. It's not very difficult to get past." He deemed the three-fifths vote requirement to access the funds inadequate. Democrats held a three-fifths majority in the legislature at the time of the general election and could have therefore opened the "lockbox" along party lines.[8]
Media editorial positions
- The Baltimore Sun said, "So, while we aren't convinced this is a perfect solution, we do think it's much better than what we have now. Taxpayers deserve to know there is some integrity in the process, and some integrity is better than no integrity. We support the amendment and ask voters to vote "yes" on Question 1."[15]
- Southern Maryland Newspapers Online said, "This constitutional amendment offers some protection that the taxes and fees Marylanders pay as a price for driving an automobile won't be siphoned off to cover other shortfalls in the state budget before the region's road projects get a fair hearing."[16]
- The Star Democrat said, "Despite that, the constitutional amendment will better ensure funds that are supposed to be used for transportation purposes are in fact used for transportation purposes."[17]
Path to the ballot
- See also: Amending the Maryland Constitution
A 60 percent majority vote in both chambers of the Maryland State Legislature was required to refer the amendment to the ballot. Senate Bill 829, which put the amendment on the ballot, was approved in the Maryland House of Delegates on April 5, 2013. The bill was approved in the Maryland Senate on April 7, 2013. The amendment was enrolled as a constitutional referendum on May 2, 2013.[7]

Authentic Bhindi (Okra)
1 pound fresh or frozen okra (can be left whole or cut in half, lengthwise)
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 onions, sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
2 teaspoons coriander
2 teaspoons cumin
salt to taste
2 whole tomatoes chopped (or 1 can of diced tomatoes)
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon garam masala
Grind ginger and garlic into a paste.
2. Heat oil over medium heat, add onions, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric, coriander, cumin, and salt. Sauté 1-2 minutes.
3. Add tomatoes, chili powder, okra, and masala. If dry, add 1/4 cup water.
4. Cook, covered, 15-20 minutes.
This was very tasty and easy to do. I cheated and minced the ginger in my food processor then quickly chopped the onions and used minced garlic from a jar. I omitted the garam masala because a family member does not like that spice so I increased the chili powder. I could see this would be really good with a curry or other flavorful recipe. We will have this again! I linked it from my site for friends to try: http://www.veganaugusta.com/bread-sides/
I really enjoyed this. I ended up adding some jalapeno to it for a little spice. Thanks
This recipe turned out GREAT! Since I am not a strict veggie, I had it with brown rice and local rainbow trout. It was amazing, I cooked the trout in a little garlic and put mint chutney on top.
I bought some okra on a whim the other day and I was looking for a way to use it, and this turned out great. I didn't have quite a pound, so I added some yellow squash and green pepper, plus a can of chickpeas. I thought the spices were perfect as the recipe says (but I used less cayenne...I don't deal well with heat!). Over rice, it made a delicious meal.

I have been working at PNC Financial Services Group full-time (more than 5 years)
They do take care of their employees. Decent 401k and pension, and they encourage employees to take advantage of it. Decent salary, excellent opportunity for career growth.
They have restructured their quarterly bonus , and not in a way that favors the employees. There can be a lack of communication at times too.

"Great company, but undergoing a lot of change; uncertain if for the better or worse "
- Comp & Benefits
- Work/Life Balance
- Senior Management
- Culture & Values
- Career Opportunities
I have been working at PNC Financial Services Group full-time (more than 3 years)Pros
This is a great, stable company, and among the largest employers in Pittsburgh. Work life balance is said to be an important part of the culture at PNC, and fellow employees are generally very teamwork-oriented and happy to offer advice.Cons
This company is undergoing significant change, especially in the area of Technology and Operations. This comes following the retirement of several key executives, including the former CEO. All of the organizational change has contributed to high anxiety and has made this company a relatively unpleasant place to work over the past year. This will change over time, but is expected to continue for the next few years.
Expense management is a high priority in order to improve PNC's efficiency ratio as compared to peer banks. This affects employees by making it difficult to advance, or to receive salary increases. It also means that salaries do not keep pace with cost-of-living increases.
The company places a lot of focus on its annual Gallup Employee Engagement Survey results. PNC scores well on this survey as a company, and has received Gallup's "Great Places to Work" recognition. The results are steeped in Gallup research, can be anonymously broken down by department, and seem to suggest clear areas for improvement. I found that the results led to a lot of action, but not to outcomes that might actually budge the needle. For example, one question focuses on whether employees understand what is expected of them at work, and another focuses on whether employees have the tools to do their job effectively. Both of these questions received low scores in my department. While management rallied around the low scores, invested considerable time in analyzing the scores, and assigned employees to work on improving the scores, the seemingly obvious solutions never materialized. One would have expected such scores to result in better training, more growth opportunities, and improved employee-technology.
Finally, PNC is such a large enterprise that it is a management-by-committee environment. No one person makes any decisions, which means difficult decisions are rarely made. The committee structure ensures that the organization moves very slow. In fact, it can take as many as three months for information to get from the bottom to the top because there are so many levels of management, and so many meetings for those managers to attend. With all of these meetings, mid-level managers are always trying to get into more meetings, and especially trying to get into meetings with more-senior-level managers. Being "in the know" often takes precedence over one's day job, and suddenly these managers are too busy to actually be productive. In any given meeting, it seems like there are only a handful of people actually doing work, i.e. having developed some work-product or other evidence of their work. Everybody else just heads from meeting to meeting trying to shell out "advice" and complaining about being caught up in their busy schedules. I would argue that the 9,500-some member Technology and Operations area could get the same level of productivity by eliminating about a quarter of mid-level and upper-mid-level management, as they're only around to be involved in this game of meeting charades.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Expense management should not take precedence over keeping your talent engaged and ensuring they are growing and developing their skills. If you neglect them, they will become less-productive or leave.Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookApproves of CEO

This is supposed to be a fast fermenting yeast, and Lord it was bubbling away for about 3 days, and then pretty much stopped. It's the "pretty much" thing that is worrying me right now. It will still, about every five minutes or so, burp a bubble. It has been in the fermenter now since Feb 1 and stopped vigorous bubbling on the 4th. Why is it still belching at me?
Im going to leave it in the fermenter until at least the 21st (three weeks) and maybe until the 28th to go the whole month of February (Its an Irish Red Ale that I want to pop a top on March 17).
Any thoughts?
"Im an airlock sniffer...I sniff airlocks"Primary 1: EmptyPrimary 2 (LBK): EmptyOn Deck - IPA of some sortBottled - Irish Red AleWicked Gnome HomeBrewing
sounds pretty normal, it may still be finishing up, or just gas coming out of suspension. Air lock activity is not as good an indicator as taking a gravity reading. I see no reason to check it before 3 weeks though.
Small things in the environment can cause off gasing. Temperature changes, barometric pressure changes, even walking by your fermenter can do this. As stated, do not use the airlock as a fermentation gauge. Only way to know is to check the gravity. You have the right idea of waiting. 3-4 weeks is usually perferct. Just make sure if you're bottling to give yourself a full 3 weeks @ 70+ *F to carb/condition prior to St. Patty's Day.
After reading 100 posts here that airlock activity is meaningless, I brewed my first two batches. Both did the same thing - 12 hours in, bubbling like crazy. 30 hours in, nothing. I let it sit. Both batches reached expected FG by the end if one week. I now believe the regulars on here when they say, don't judge fermentation on airlock bubbles.
"Guns don't kill people...the government does..." ~ Dale Gribble
And on the most recent brew, I was getting a very rare burp from the airlock after 4 weeks but gravity was 1.012...can't imagine it's still fermenting at that point. And it was S-04.
I use S-04 for all my English Ales. Never worry bout bubbles. I let it sit 3 weeks the bottle. Always comes out OUTSTANDING. Have only had one person tell me he like BMC over my ales. To each his own. LOL

Ridley Scott's latest franchisey thing isn't even in theatres yet and already we've moved onto the topic of his next one. Like week-old bread these movies, I tell ya – whatever loaf smells freshest gets the pickings.
"Prometheus", which is somewhat of an unofficial prequel to Scott's "Alien", has seemingly got the veteran filmmaker all interested in returning to the well of some of his other past greats (his brother Tony too, for that matter; he's doing a sequel to "Top Gun") – namely "Blade Runner".
It was recently announced that Scott would develop and ultimately direct a sequel to his 1982 classic. Unfortunately Harrison Ford will be sitting this one out (well, replicates can't age after all, right?) but seems the project will retain some of the original forces behind it.
Hot off the press : "Blade Runner" scribe Hampton Fancher is returning to write the film.
The filmmakers are also revealing for the first time that the much-anticipated project is intended to be a sequel to the renowned original. The filmmakers would reveal only that the new story will take place some years after the first film concluded.
The three-time Oscar-nominated Scott and his "Blade Runner" collaborator Fancher originally conceived of their 1982 classic as the first in a series of films incorporating the themes and characters featured in Philip K. Dick's groundbreaking novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?", from which "Blade Runner" was adapted. Circumstances, however, took Scott into other directions and the project never advanced.
Fancher, although a writer of fiction, was known primarily as an actor at the time Scott enlisted him to adapt the Dick novel for the screen. Fancher followed his "Blade Runner" success with the screenplays, "The Mighty Quinn" (1989) and "The Minus Man" (1999). He has continued to write fiction throughout his career.
Scott also will produce with Alcon co-founders and co-Chief Executive Officers Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove as well as Bud Yorkin and Cynthia Sikes Yorkin. Frank Giustra and Tim Gamble, CEO's of Thunderbird Films, will serve as executive producers.
The original film, which has been singled out as the greatest science-fiction film of all time by a majority of genre publications, was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." The film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry in 1993 and is frequently taught in university courses. In 2007, it was named the 2nd most visually influential film of all time by the Visual Effects Society.
blade-runner-2-sequel-posterState Kosove and Johnson: "It is a perfect opportunity to reunite Ridley with Hampton on this new project, one in fact inspired by their own personal collaboration, a classic of cinema if there ever was one."
Released by Warner Bros. almost 30 years ago, "Blade Runner" was adapted by Fancher and David Peoples from Philip K. Dick's groundbreaking novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" and directed by Scott following his landmark "Alien." The film was nominated for two Academy Awards (Best Visual Effects, and Best Art Direction). Following the filming of "Blade Runner," the first of Philip K. Dick's works to be adapted into a film, many other of Dick's works were likewise adapted, including "Total Recall," "A Scanner Darkly," "Minority Report," "Paycheck," and the recent "The Adjustment Bureau," among others.
If Scott really is getting all crushy on his old flicks, hoping to rejuvenate interest in them by doing belated sequels, might we also see a "Black Rain 2 : A Decapitation for a Decapitation", "Thelma & Louise 2 : The Husbands" or a "Legend Continues : No Tangerine Dream", in the near future?

I know I enter ~15 pages od dailies x 30 entries a page.
I know I enter ~1 page of the 3 submitted of single entries a day.
I know I enter ~3 pages of instants...
All are estimates, but doing the math it can project a good model of aprox what you do.
How about another estimate...lets say you enter 4 hours a day x 350 days...so ~1400 hours a year...at $7 an hour, thats the equivalent of making $10,000 at a min wage job. Now over 6 years, that would be $60,000. Now think what that money would do for you properly invested. Talking nice retirement. I don't think I've made anywhere close to that in winnings...thats why this is considered a hobby and NOT a job. Think everyone's time is worth more then they make from sweeping.
I won an Ipad mini from Wonderful Pistachios Twitter contest. Wondering how long it will take to get here. Excited. Best win ever...other than when I did a scratch off card at the Florida/Alabama line and won $1000. Wish I could win a few more of those (even if we did have to go to lottery headquarters to get the prize). My hubby refused to mail it in for fear that it would get lost in the mail. : )

So far in his administration, President Obama has proposed a "reset" with Russia, a pivot to Asia, and a renewed effort to build respect across lines of faith, philosophy and history. Six years in, what successes can this White House point to in foreign affairs? And what, exactly, are the broad foreign policy goals of the Obama Administration? "Defining President Obama's foreign policy" next, ON THE LINE.

This Week's Program:
Bibi vs. Obama
President Obama has said he wants "real breakthroughs" on Iran's nuclear program and Israeli-Palestinian peace. But Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's triumph in Tuesday's elections promises Israeli resistance on both of these fronts, and guarantees difficult diplomacy between two leaders. On this week's HashtagVOA, experts covering Iran and the Mideast discuss how the fray impacts Iran Nuclear Talks, regional stability and beyond.

Yuta was really great guest. Can recommend him everyone on Airbnb.
Yuta is a nice guest – quiet, neat, and considerable. We would welcome him to come back and be our guest here again in the future.
Unfortunately I didn't get to meet Yuta as our schedules didn't match up. However, when I woke up (I got home after he had already went to sleep, and he left before I woke up), I could hardly tell anyone had even stayed the night; the place was left exactly as he found it. I do like to get the chance to meet the people who stay over but if that's not possible, then all I can ask is that they're neat and respectful...Yuta is definitely both of those things.
While Yuta here in Chicago for 3 days, he was quiet, clean and neat. He's smart and knows what he's doing - enjoy Chicago as much as he can and taking rest as much as he can too! Yes, Yuta is one of my favorite guests; and absolutely I will recommend him to other hosts too.

Yuta and his friend Koi (sp?) were really nice guests. We really enjoyed hosting them and chatting with them over a cup of chai. They are welcome to stay with us if they visit here again.
Yuta stayed at our home over the Columbus Day weekend. Although we never met her, we found our home exactly as we left it - clean and tidy. She fed our 2 cats as well. I would have no hesitation in recommending Yuta to stay in your home also.
