Food is any substance consumed to provide nutritional support for the body. It is usually of plant or animal origin, and contains essential nutrients, such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, or minerals. The substance is ingested by an organism and assimilated by the organism's cells in an effort to produce energy, maintain life, or stimulate growth.
Historically, people secured food through two methods: hunting and gathering, and agriculture. Today, most of the food energy consumed by the world population is supplied by the food industry.
Food safety and food security are monitored by agencies like the International Association for Food Protection, World Resources Institute, World Food Programme, Food and Agriculture Organization, and International Food Information Council. They address issues such as sustainability, biological diversity, climate change, nutritional economics, population growth, water supply, and access to food.

Megahedron—A 3D Graphics Environment
Overall I found the feature set of Megahedron to be quite extensive. The documentation blows away anything else I've seen for a tool of this nature. I'm constantly looking for tools which can easily be picked up by a novice user. Megahedron certainly falls into this category simply on the strength of the documentation and sample programs. It is, however, not perfect. See Sidebars 1 and 2 for lists of Megahedron' pros and cons.
At one point the "Introduction to 3D Coordinates" says it is not necessary to know algebra or trigonometry to use Megahedron. Possibly true, but without either what you can do with Megahedron will be severely limited. Face it, knowing how to place objects in 3D requires not just an understanding of geometry, but trigonometry as well.
One area I didn't cover in this review is the rendering engine. I didn' do many full renders due to time constraints on my system. (I had other renderings running and needed to keep a little system time for other work.) If you get a chance to try Megahedron and can compare it with BMRT and/or POV-Ray (or any other renderers that run on Linux) feel free to write it up and pass it on to me. Chances are good I'll include it in a future "Graphics Muse" column in Linux Gazette.
Despite the problems mentioned, I think Megahedron would be a good way for new users to get started with 3D images. Experienced users might find the animation capabilities quite useful as well, although the animations might not be as impressive with the builtin renderer. It's difficult to say without more detailed images that make full use of the shading language. The documentation is quite extensive and well written and the licensing is user friendly. I would recommend this package to anyone interested in learning more about 3D graphics.

Told in fourteen fixed-angle, single shot, individual tableaus that parallel Christ's journey to his own crucifixion,Stations ... is both an indictment of fundamentalist faith and the articulation of an impressionable teen's struggle to find her own path in life. Though from the outside Maria lives in the modern world, her family and her heart are faithful to a Catholic radicalism that requires sacrifice and devotion at every turn.
"This brilliant and subtle comedy about teenage martyrdom argues that extremism has no place in the modern world." — David Jenkins, Little White Lies
"Passionate, generous, witty; Dietrich Bruggemann's study of a fanatical Catholic family renews one's faith in the power of slow art movies to change the world." — London Evening Standard
This multi-narrative drama chronicles the life of a small town in the badlands of Alberta over the course of one year. The intertwining stories in writer/director Kyle Thomas' first feature film combine to evoke the "dirty realism" of Raymond Carver and to render a rich portrait of rural life in central Alberta. The soundtrack features music by Dan Mangan, Rae Spoon, and Eamon McGrath.
"A superb first feature, and it will be fascinating to see where this new talent turns his lens next." 3 /1/2 out of 4 — Chris Knight, National Post
Powerful music, a gripping story and a tragic end: Puccini's ever-popular Tosca performed with a fabulous cast. Among the star singers in this revival are Angela Gheorghiu, Jonas Kaufmann and Bryn Terfel. Jonathan Kent's detailed production draws to the full on the historical backdrop of Rome in 1800, an atmospheric backdrop to the love of the beautiful diva Tosca, the idealism of her lover Cavaradossi and the deadly, destructive obsession of the malevolent Chief of Police, Scarpia.
Richard Eyre's produciton of Verdi's masterpiece has been one of the most successful opera stagings in the long and celebrated history of the Royal Opera House. We present the original, definitive incarnation of that production, starring the incomparable Renee Fleming as the ill-fated courtesan Violetta, oppose Joseph Calleja as Alfredo and Thomas Hapson as his unyielding father.

Andrei Serban's staging of Puccini's final opera is a glorious pageant of rich colour, dance and drama. Turandot is a tale of disguised identities, riddles, ritual executions and powerful, triumphant love.
Paris in 1855, when the opera was first performed, provides the starting point for the interpretation by celebrated Norwegian born director Stefan Herheim. The opera ballet plays a significant role too, with Johann Kobborg choreographing for dancers from the Royal Ballet and Royal Danish Ballet. The story is set to impassioned and dramatic music, rich in showpiece arias and ensembles with striking choruses. Antonio Pappano conducts a world-class cast including Erwin Schrott, Bryan Hymel and Lianna Haroutounian in The Royal Opera's first ever staging of Verdi's grand opera.
Winner of the awards for Best Canadian Film and Best BC film at VIFF 2014, and named the Best BC Film by the Vancouver Film Critics Circle, Violent is the debut feature from Andrew Huculiak, drummer for the Vancouver-based band We Are the City. The story takes us to Bergen, Norway, and the protagonist is young Dagny (the incandescent Dagny Backer Johnsen), whose reminiscences of the five people who loved her most rise to the surface at the same time as she experiences a resonant epiphany.
A girl's best friend is her dog in this exuberantly odd political parable from Hungary. When a new law places onerous taxes on the owners of mutts, the streets of Budapest start to fill up with abandoned dogs - including Hagen, beloved pet of 13-year-old Lili. While the child defies her father and the odds to try to track down her dog, Hagen suffers a series of grueling adventures involving various ill-intentioned individuals. "Fierce and beautiful." — The New York Times
"A fierce and beautiful Hungarian parable about a girl, her dog, and the uprising that's sparked after they are separated ... When the dogs break free and run through the streets in White God, demolishing barriers and biting the hands that have hit them, the movie takes a leap into bold political metaphor, offering up a memorable image of the great unwashed gone (literally) barking mad." — Manhola Dargis, The New York Times
"White God confirms Mundruczó's position as one of Europe's most exciting, unpredictable and technically competent directors. In a world where so many filmmakers seem to rework the same material over and over, he is a true wild card — a filmmaker with 'un certain regard' if ever there was one." — Nick Roddick, Sight & Sound
"Thrillingly strange ... tense, stunningly staged set-pieces recall the uncanny power of Hitchcock's The Birds [...] A risky shift toward the poetically aberrant that would not work if Mundruczo's storytelling weren't so rousing and emotionally purposeful — not to mention morally challenging, as man and dog are accorded equally flawed, vengeful psychologies in the film's universe." — Guy Lodge, Variety
Like 50 Feet From Stardom this is the story of unsung heroes, the session musicians who made the 60s swing. Guaranteed, you will never hear pop from that era the same way again. Touching on everyone from the Beach Boys to Elvis, Sinatra to Sonny & Cher, this is an astonishing glimpse behind the scenes at the hey day of American pop. "Wonderful, touching and hilarious." Elvis Costello
"A treasure trove of witness-at-creation anecdotes and enduringly potent '60s pop classics, The Wrecking Crew is a well-nigh irresistible treat for aficionados of music from the era when acts like the Beach Boys, the Association and the Monkees were topping the charts. Pic celebrates a loose-knit group of largely unknown (except by industry insiders) session musicians, many of whom supplied the defining licks and backbeats — and in some cases, actually played instruments for band members — on legendary recordings." Joe Leydon, Variety

Hi all! I've been wanting to transfer to Oceanic for a few years now, I am UTC +1. Mostly interested in raiding. I have many alts, most are 90. Alliance for the most part, two horde atm but may switch one or two from ally to horde to even it out. Trying to decide which server to go to, how does this server compare to the other Oceanic PvE servers? Khaz'goroth / Dath'Remar / Saurfang?
Haha thanks, that's what trade chat said last night
It depends on what you're looking for from the realm.
Caelestrasz is definitely a smaller realm, but there is almost always world boss groups, heroic scenario groups, or other things coming up in trade chat (horde side, at least)
Our raiding scene is lacking a little, but we have 2 25man guilds (Crimson, Vita Obscura) and numerous 10man guilds that range from heroic progression (SOS just downed heroic Lei Shen) to very casual normal progression.
PvP.... I don't know.
What are you looking for from a server is probably what you need to address...
Threats of violence. We take these seriously and will alert the proper authorities.
Posts containing personal information about other players. This includes physical addresses, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, and inappropriate photos and/or videos.
Harassing or discriminatory language. This will not be tolerated.

And here we go, tinfoil-hatters and people with a general "humanity can do no wrong" 19th century-ish state of mind jumping at the first chance to beat their respective dead horses. Time to set things right:
On Biodiversity:
The reason biodiversity loss worries experts in the field is not that everyone is concerned about that precious unique lifeform that has an inalienable right to live. The reason is that ecosystems depend on a range of key species to do their work. For example, loss of insects due to irresponsibly released chemicals causes pollination to fail, hence the pictures of chinese workers manually pollinating flowers. At a certain point, losing too many key species causes an ecosystem to collapse, degrading into a less complex, more inefficient state (a forest to scrubland), and ceases to provide its key services, such as air and water purification, weather and soil regulation, and all sorts of assorted natural resources.
Current rates of exctinction world wide are such that this is already technically an ongoing mass-extinction. Extinction rates this high are only visibile in geostrata from the K-T event or the permian mass exctinction, the other two great exctintion events. The negative effects of globe spanning ecosystem collapses are so obviously detrimental for humanity I hope no further explanation is required.
on Anthropogenic Global Warming:
Climate science is at an infant stage. We can hardly predict next week's weather, much less understand the complex interplay of atmospheric elements in the earth's energy system.
This much we know. Geological and biological data confirms that atmospheric Co2 levels correspond historically with drastic changes in the earth's weather system. CO2 in itself is a weak greenhouse gas, so its increase alone cannot account for all the changes. The theory is that changes in Co2 could act as a trigger for other feedback loops that initiate a climate systems shift. This is of course unproven theory, since we can't really experiment with the earth system to try it out. It is, however, sound science which is why most political organizations that matter acknoweledge a risk exists, regardless of the large ammount of tinfoil-hat theorists that populate the internet.
Phew. Can we please stick to the article's subject now?
So there's a chance that life will out survive humans after all. That's good. At least the planet has hope
Cool at long last they've discovered intelligent life in the US
Anderson_2. I am startled about what you wrote and than added things are disappearing. Why do you consume bluefin and eels when you know (or at least should have known) those species are disappearing. As for your daughters: let them eat cake.
I'd like to echo the previous commenter (and I'm not a biologist) -this article didn't really give sufficient information to understand the signficance of the discovery. How apart from the length of its genome does it bridge the gap between viruses and cellular life? Does this virus actually make its own proteins or DNA without needing to hijack cells? Does it have a membrane?
What would really help - and not just for this article but generally in the Science/Technology section - would be diagrams. A picture can convey a complex structure or mechanism much more concisely than words, and it would help to pack more information into the constraints of the Economist's short Science section.
Having tried to peddle AGW through unscientific and at times fraudulent means, environmentalists have lost a tremendous amount of credibility. Biodiversity is a far more important bioecological matter than the human production of CO2, and makes for a much better scientific argument in favor of protecting ecosystems. Once a species goes extinct, it is lost forever. We do not yet have the technology to clone all living things or bring past species back. The 'Jurassic Park' fantasy is inherently unattainable as DNA, even under the best of preservation conditions, tends to become degraded in less than 10,000 years. We can estimate from fossils and paleontological research the emergence and extinction rate of certain species of organisms. It is folly to assume that nature can keep up with current extinction rates. All this being said, good luck trying to get the public to engage in protecting species 'because the future of the Earth and mankind depends on it.' After the IPCC scandal and collapse of the political movement, I don't blame people for suffering from apocalypse fatigue.
"It actually works by whatever works working."
Exactly right. You deserve an award for that sentence.
The same is true of the Scientific Method. And entrepreneurship. You can't plan genuine creativity.
As a Biologist, I can understand that these articles are written for the lay person, but can we get a little more specifics and analysis instead of just another "wow, a big virus" reporting? Is there a possible reason or mechanism which allows this virus to get so large? Is it a DNA or RNA based virus? Is it enveloped in a protective capsid? For most viruses I would be able to do a quick internet search and find this info, but being new research the scraps on this one are pretty thin.
Distant Smoke
You are absolutely right, evolution is working away as we speak, and in truth it will be working away long after we are gone. The question for us is what kind of world to we want to live in and the kind of creatures we would like to share it with.
Cockroaches, bedbugs, white tailed deer, coyotes, rats, crows, pigeons and seagulls, for instance are doing quite well. Tigers, snow leopards, bluefin tuna, rhinos and a host of others not so good.
A lot of this has happened in my short adulthood, even. I remember going to Tskuegi market in Tokyo. It was 3 am, and I walked around a corner and startled a fish monger with two pails full of eels that he dropped one and the eels started slithering away. I helped him catch them and put them back in the bucket and other workers gathered to watch the fun. For my trouble the guy called out to a friend who brought me a slice of toro, the fat belly meat of the bluefin tuna. It is hard to describe the taste of that meat in that place on that morning, washed down with some saké.
But the next time I went to Tskuigi, the bluefins were on average less than half the size, comparing the photos from each trip. I would like my daughters to taste toro, but I don't think it is going to be possible. The eels too are in terrible shape. Coming to France where I live now for the first time, my father-in-law taught me to fish for eels in his pond, and to clean them and my mother in law cooked them up using the recipe of her mother-in-law. Wonderful. Now, only a decade later, there are no eels in my father-in-law's pond. My daughters will never know that experience, that taste. One year we caught a bunch, the next there were none. Why? Nobody knows for sure.
The list of these kinds of things is almost endless and it is happening worldwide.
The idea that someday humans might be gone and mother nature can re-populate the earth is very cold comfort.
This article touches tangentially on something I have noticed lately.
1. I see highly emotionally charged articles about the loss of various animals (those on the 'close to extinction list').
These articles usually either state categorically or at least imply that given a decade or two the only species left on Earth will be humans, maybe some dogs and cats and anything too small to see.
2. I see articles expressing surprise at discoveries of animals previously unknown to science. These articles usually give the impression (to me at least) that the scientists believe these animals have been hanging around and no one ever noticed them before.
Finally, I have been finding myself wondering why no one is making (in the media at least) what I see as a clear assumption that evolution is chugging away, decreasing species that are no longer flexible enough to survive in a changing world, while evolving new species that can better survive in this changing world. A world that has been changing long before Man came on the scene.
I have always felt it to be the height of arrogance for Man (environmentalists mostly) to assume that we are so powerful that we can thoughtlessly thwart Mother Nature (or God, your choice), and so clever that we can manage a planetary ecosystem better than she (or God, your choice) can.
And by that I am NOT saying that we shouldn't make an effort to not pollute ecosystems. I'm just saying that we evolved here just as other species have, so it seems to me that we have as much right to exist as they do. And Man is not the only one who 'pollutes'. Every animal and plant takes one thing, derives life giving energy from it, and then passes the rest (sometimes changed into something entirely different and even sometimes toxic) as waste.
So the current media frenzy ove the loss of biodiversity and the (what I see as overblown) fears of 'Global Climate change' makes me nervous and suspicious of the motives of the people and groups involved.
Regular discoveries like this show how little we know of the natural world and its processes. As you say, evolution "actually works by whatever works working." That includes through humans changing the environment, and other organisms responding to such changes. I read recently that termites and oceanic algae are the major species globally both by weight and by greenhouse gas emissions, something which might give Al Warmistas food for thought.
And when is The Economist going to get a decent spam filter? Do the spammers evolve faster than the anti-spammers? A question of incentives (economics) and fitness for purpose and adaptation for survival (natural science).
It reads in this article "one third of the two VIRUS' genes are similar, they may share an distant ancestor ". well ,it has been reported that most of rat's genes and human's are same. According to the author's opinion, we may share a distant ancestor with rat. How distant it is ! maybe date back the sixth day of Genesis~~

dwellings, the name given to the prophetical college established by Samuel near Ramah. It consisted of a cluster of separate dwellings, and hence its name. David took refuge here when he fled from Saul (1 Sam. 19:18, 19, 22, 23), and here he passed a few weeks in peace (comp. Ps. 11). It was probably the common residence of the "sons of the prophets."

China's Enlight Media Picks Up Hot Reality Format 'Rising Star'
China's Enlight Media has bought Israeli television group Keshet International's Rising Star, and the company believes its interactive elements will help dispel some of the format fatigue that singing shows are generating.
Zhang Hang, head of Enlight Media's TV unit, said at a news conference in Shanghai that the interactive singing show format was better suited to the Internet era, with the advantage that audiences were not just watching a screen but could really get involved.

Rising Star, which Keshet debuted in Israel last fall and to international buyers at the Mipcom market in October, has since sold to more than 25 territories, with ITV grabbing it for the U.K. and RTL taking Germany, among others.
Singing shows are a big success in China, with China Idol and The Voice of China the most popular titles.
Enlight is the first private Chinese media company to import such a big-name format, and it reportedly beat off stiff competition from Hunan TV, Jiangsu TV and other private companies bidding for it.
Zhang said that in the face of audience fatigue about singing shows, Rising Star was different. A network partner for the show wasn't immediately announced.
PHOTOS: MIPTV: The Hottest New Reality Shows
"This show has been successful in many countries in the world, a sign of the huge power and influence of Rising Star. Of course, we will put enormous capital and energy into building this show. It has no reason to fail," he said. "How the Chinese version of Rising Star will be presented to the Chinese audience, and when, and on which platform, is also generating a lot of anticipation."

lead based paint dust
Hi all,
Hopefully I will not get flamed for this post and hopefully it is not off topic... if it is, I apologize, but this seems to be something that any of us living in old homes will have to contend with at some pint.
My neighbor (structure as close as 10 ft away) is using a grinder-type device to remove the lead paint on his home, back to bare wood. Our homes are all around 80 yrs old. I don't necessarily see dust going everywhere but at the same time it isn't being reclaimed and it has to be going somewhere.
We have a six year old and also my wife is pregnant and we already asked the doctor whether we should be concerned and the the reply was "only if you're eating the dust."
OTOH, the painter that did our house recommended that if my wife was pregnant at the time that she relocate while they were scraping off the old paint.
I am wondering what "ground truth" is on this. I am thinking my wife should be tested for lead the next time she goes back to the doc just to be sure.
I would think the neighbor should be more worried, even though he is wearing a respirator, all this stuff is going into his soil and so forth. But I wanted to get your experiences as another data point on realistically what our exposure might be.
DIY work? The RRP rule doesn't apply but it doesn't make grinding off lead paint any less stupid.
They need to be following this, or using a different method entirely.
Here is a link that might be useful: Renovation, Repair and Painting Program: Do-It-Yourselfers
I wouldn't be happy about it, and if you are friendly with your neighbor, I'd suggest giving him some literature about safer methods. But at the same time I think the risk is relatively low if you're not standing there breathing it in; just keep your windows shut tight, and maybe put a tarp over the yard between your houses. I know neighbors aren't always open to reading pamphlets about lead-safe practices. Is he almost finished or just starting? Can your wife and kid stay with a friend until it's over, or is that impossible? I think once it rains the airborne danger is pretty much over.
A lead test might be a good idea. An iron-rich diet can also help prevent lead absorption.
Good luck and try not to panic!
If his lead dust is contaminating your property, you have a good case for a cease & desist order; start shooting video. You can follow up on the C&D with a lawsuit to make him pay for the decontamination process.
His right to strip his paint ends at the property line when it starts to harm you.
Check with your local (or state) clean air or environmental organization. Large scale removals like you are describing are often regulated. If so, they could step in and control just how/whether this proceeds and make sure that any further work is done more safely than what you are describing.
Thanks guys, this is a DIY. Long term project, has been at it for weeks and at the rate of progress it is going to be a long time yet.
I don't want to be a jerk neighbor if it isn't warranted. Otherwise one thing leads to another and before long everyone is calling code enforcement on everyone and that kind of thing.
OTOH a fence being an inch over a line or watering on the wrong days is one thing, poison control issues are another. I have honestly not seen any evidence of paint chips, dust, etc. on our property yet.
I do think that keeping the windows shut and avoid unnecessary outdoor exposure while he is working are smart things to do for now. Since my wife is already getting lots of blood tests from being pregnant, I'm sure it is a matter of them just ordering a lead screening the next time they draw blood.
I am overly cautious, admittedly, but you hear so much about the dangers of lead paint. I appreciate your comments.
I don't think you are being overly cautious, and I have worked in this area for many years. Two things I will point out:
Lead Screening test: First of all, if you do get such a test, what will you do with the results? You can probably detect some level of Pb in most people, so what do you decide is a safe level, and how can you determine -- if she tests positive for Pb -- whether that is a background level or has increased recently due to exposure resulting from your neighbor's activities? You should also be aware that the exposure of young children and developing fetuses to low levels of Pb can be more serious for them in terms of long term deficits than it is for full grown adults.
Exposure on your property: At this point, the exposure you are most likely to get is an invisible one: airborne, very small Pb dust particles. Just because you can't see anything much doesn't mean that you don't have an exposure. You're doing the right thing by keeping the windows shut and spending little time outdoors, but your furnace and normal infiltration are bringing in outside air, and you can also track lead dust into your home on your shoes. And for the long term, you need to be aware that, if your yard is getting gradually contaminated from lead dust, it is not a great place for a child to be playing.
You're being responsible and I am not trying to alarm you, but your concern is warranted. If you are not willing to check into what local codes may govern what the neighbor is doing, or to get him to do this safely, maybe you can at least ask him to call a hiatus for a couple of months until the baby is born.
There are a number of issues here. The first is the health of you, your wife, young child, and unborn child. But there is also the issue of neighbor relations. Could you 'do stuff to him' to make him comply? Undoubtably.
There are grinders made with attached vacuums which are very good and in fact made exactly for this kind of work and for the purpose of containing lead paint dust, I used one a few years ago.
Consider the costs both legal and social of 'doing stuff to him' and consider the cost of gifting him with such a vacuum.
Should it be his responsibility? Sure. But are you trying to win, or are you trying for safety?
Our system in general is adversarial, but it is amazing sometimes what taking the first step can do.

Please cite the law you reference. I understand that the paint has lead, but for civil remedies one would need proof of contamination.
Perhaps I have not kept up, but I was unaware of any federal legislation 'illegal everywhere' that prohibits homeowners from removing paint from their own homes.
My point is that I believe the neighbor's action unless there are some local statutes, is not 'rattable'.
Which is why I made my previous post saying that gifting the neighbor a vacuum made for such work (or even a vacuum/grinder set), may be the easiest fastest way to solve the problem.

You are correct that there is no uniform federal law governing what individuals may do regarding lead removal on their own homes. However -- similar to the example that worthy provided above -- there are many, many state and local environmental authorities that restrict lead paint removal by untrained/uncertified individuals, especially when it involves home exteriors, since it can involuntarily expose others than just the homeowner's family, and because it can directly contaminate the environment. Even if a municipal area does not have explicit lead regulations, this type of problem can often be addressed through existing hazardous waste regulations.
Worthy, I did find some Maryland law which concerns rentals but not preventing homeowners from doing work on their own homes. There is a small part of the law dealing with enforced abatement but it does not pertain to this situation as it stands.
When one takes a close look at a lot of statutes having to do with lead testing, abatement, and paint removal, it seems as if homeowners working on their own homes that they live in are not included in the scope of such laws.

Starting something new!
Three words are hardly fair enough to describe someone. But for those looking for "in a nutshell" descriptions see below. I'm warm, self content, and motivated. Born in Los Angeles, moved to Maryland since I was 4, I have an east coast state of mind with chilled out west coast vibes in my veins. I prefer cardigans and blazers to graphic tee's, and leather boots to Uggs. What sums me up can be broken down to a wonderful supportive family, great get-togethers with friends, rich foods, fitness, and volunteer work. Fitness is an extremely important part of my life. I've practiced TKD, Krav Maga, and Jujitsu for 7 years since high school, trained and completed a marathon, and as of right now, am heavily into Olympic weight training to improve my strength gains and body recomposition. I work out about 5 days a week (power hour). I'm always looking for ways to improve my diet to increase my performance however.... I love love love love food. It's my achilles heel in my fitness journey. What can I say? I've been eating since I was born :) Bacon, steak, burgers, eggs (any way), eggs on my burgers with bacon, caramelized onions, cream cheese dips, cheese's. Recently bought a crockpot, but prefer grilling and broiling. I'm probably happiest during the holidays when I can use family and friends as my guinea pigs for new recipe's. The latest hit was cream cheese/sausage stuffed mushrooms and peanut butter oreo truffles... yummmm. While I live in Maryland, I spend most of my time in DC, Alexandria/Arlington and NYC where my friends live. I travel infrequently within the U.S. with friends for weekend jaunts. Bucket list thing. Last stop was Austin, next stop is Portland, Maine. I've gone as far as Istanbul and my native Philippines. Private time is spent unwinding watching.... reality tv. Go ahead, judge. You're doing it anyway! hehe. When your whole day is spent doing higher level thinking, brain dead tv is my remedy. From the Biggest Loser to Pawn Stars. I can watch the same Family Guy episode over and over again and pick up something new each time. That goes for Scrubs too. Still reading after that last paragraph? Wow.. I'm impressed. There's only a little bit more to me that I'll reveal. I'm allergic to cats :( Any Ben Stiller Movie ranks high. I can recite lines from Dodgeball and Zoolander. I approach everyday with a smile and end it with at least one good laugh from the stomach. I hope to meet someone that can bring that laugh out of me a couple times a day/hour/minute. So here's some questions for you: peanut butter or jelly? cheese or chocolate? right arm or right eye? Would you re-do your first kiss?
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Playing cards , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Wine tasting
Aerobics, Cycling, Martial arts, Other types of exercise, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I like Dogs
Middle of the Road
NYC, Istanbul, Nando's Peri Peri in Chinatown. Yum! I have a lot of good friends in Arlington/Alexandria so a lot of my favorite memories are there and with them.
University of Maryland, College Park, College Park, MD

IKEA today previewed its seventh annual Ikea PS collection, showing at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile (Milan Furniture Fair) and arriving in European stores in August. But the bigger buzz was its move into home electronics, with the new Uppleva (Swedish for "uplifting") hybrid HDT/home entertainment center.
Integrating RCA's HDTV system into a flat-pack entertainment unit, the TV-embedded furniture "comes in three designs and will be sold first in Sweden, France, Poland, Germany and Italy in June, with a few more markets due to launch in the second half of the year," according to the Associated Press. "By the first half of next year, it will be available worldwide, with the cheapest costing about 6,500 Swedish kronor ($955)."Continue reading...

H&M today confirmed the name for the new higher-priced store brand it's planning to open in 2013, following rumors that it was developing a new sub-brand to extend its appeal to those shoppers who zoom in whenever the fast-fashion retailer collaborates on a diffusion line with a high-end fashion designer.
A publicist for the fashion-conscious Swedish-based retailer told AFP "it is correct that H&M will launch a new chain in 2013 called & other stories, but this is all the available information we have as of today." The retailer also confirmed to just-style.com that the new store brand will launch in Europe, and will "build on the positive experience of Cos."
H&M's stable of retail brands includes the higher-end Cos in addition to Monki, Weekday and Cheap Monday. A spokeswoman told Fashionologie that the new store brand "will not be a luxury brand, but it will be a retail chain that will follow the same ambition as H&M, to offer our customers the best price for a comparable item."
The & other stories name taps into a popular theme in retail, where creating a brand story is red hot. Witness the Stefan Sagmeister-branded Story, a New York concept store that launched in February and changes its theme, fixtures, brand partners and inventory every four to eight weeks. Its current theme: color.

Jamba Juice keeps on spreading its brand mojo in new places, now including American schools and the supermarket tea aisle.
"Whatever it is that defines you, Jamba Juice wants to be part of helping you live a healthier and more wholesome life," Julie Washington, SVP and recently named chief brand officer of the California-based smoothie chain, told brandchannel. "We're trying to make sure everyone knows the wealth and breadth of Jamba's food and beverage offerings."
Jamba, which has an endorsement deal with tennis pro Venus Williams, has been in expansion mode beyond its smoothie menu for some time now, including introducing oatmeal and flatbreads, expanding into South Korea and the Philippines, diversifying into coconut water and CPG goods for stores. Lately, its gambits have included acquiring Talbott Teas and testing an in-school-outlet concept, in addition to new fresh-squeezed juice blends.
"Two years ago, our biggest competition probably could have been considered McDonald's, because they were getting into smoothies," said Washington, who was Jamba's general manager of consumer products before moving earlier this year to the new branding post. "Today, people talk about Starbucks," she added, as Jamba's main rival because the company began selling its recently acquired Evolution juice line in its coffee stores and in a standalone store in Bellevue, Wash., last week.Continue reading...

When plenty of people go to a concert, they are ready to shell out for a beer or three, so why not drink a brew that is all about the band that you're seeing?
The United Kingdom's Signature Brew is answering the call. Instead of just partnering with a band, sticking their name on some random brew, and selling it to the willing masses, Signature has gone a different route, according to Bloomberg Businessweek. The idea is to meet with indie musicians and get a sense of what kind of beer they like and brew something up that actually represents them. As an added bonus, the musicians learn a thing or two about the beer business along the way, too.
Signature is currently only distributing in Europe but is trying to figure out a way it can get those beers to the States easily. After all, America has got a boatload of beer drinkers (even though the U.S. is only 13th on the the list of amount consumed per capital).
The first band to sign on with Signature was The Rifles, whose members tasted 20 beers before they figured out what they wanted their beer to taste like. (Sounds like a fun night.) The brew that came out that, The General, was named after one of their songs and went on sale on the band's website and at its shows this past winter, Businessweek reports: "Signature Brew's initial run of 6,000 bottles sold out so fast the company is still scrambling to fill new orders."Continue reading...

"Alohomora!" J.K. Rowling's Pottermore website to keep the world of Harry Potter alive on digital has finally opened its e-bookstore.
While Rowling's books have sold an estimated 450 million physical copies and been translated into more than 70 languages, the author had retained the digital rights as part of her book publishing contracts, so the e-book editions weren't immediately available — until the Pottermore (think "Potter" plus "ever more") digital brand extension plan was announced last June. Already, Slate is calling it a game-changer for publishing.Continue reading...

Plenty of sports teams invite fans to come watch them train, travel with them to away games, or come play ball with some of the players who were second-stringers way back when, but the Real Madrid soccer team in Spain is going way further than that.
The team has announced that it is constructing a $1 billion amusement-filled vacation resort and theme park on a manmade island in the United Arab Emirates that will be shaped like the team's emblem and is slated to open in January 2015.
The club's management team told the press that they're confident it's "an emotional place for an emotional brand" — and a smart business extension that will satisfy hardcore fans and prove to be a 'real' money-maker. Critics aren't so convinced.Continue reading...

Most authors are content to toil away on their work just hoping for commercial success in the conventional sense. Getting a book published would be nice, for instance. But a select few have created not only tomes but also expertise, a niche, a media presence and a brand that they can take to the bank in all sorts of different ways.
J.K. Rowling created that sort of property with the Harry Potter books. And Heidi Murkoff is a virtual best friend to legions of pregnant (especially first-time) moms thanks to the What to Expect When You're Expecting series, whose flagship title is now in its fourth edition.
A movie of the same title is due out on May 18th, starring Jennifer Lopez, Cameron Diaz, Elizabeth Banks, Matthew Morrison, Anna Kendrick, and Chace Crawford (watch preview clips above and below). And in another extension of the What to Expect brand, mass merchandiser Sam's Club has produced a line of WTE-branded baby products, while Murkoff has signed on to write for every issue of Sam's new bimonthly magazine.Continue reading...

Manufacturer: Southern Trails
Model: T-159 Trail Saddle
Category: Trail Saddles
Purchase: I was looking for a beartrap style trail saddle and could not find one anywhere, some place has beartraps in barrel and roping saddles, but I wanted a nice comfortable trail saddle. I found some reviews about southern trails and called them, they specially made this model for me, they combined parts of several other models to make what I wanted. It only cost me 1,000.00
Likes: I was able to pick my color, had it modified to fit my horse perfectly. I love the baby soft leather and the fact it was made my way.
Dislikes: I have not found anything about the saddle I do not like
Quality: The leather is soft and finished on the backside. All the parts fit very well.
Summary: Overall I am extremely pleased, I recommend these people to anyone. I really appreciate Horse Tack Review for being able to learn about different saddles, since southern trails has only been around for 5 or 6 years, I might not have found them without this website, thanks

Outdoor cats indoors -- YIKES !!!
With days and days of sub-zero temps we can't leave these cats outside overnight - not even in the daytime. We fortunately have a guest house so all seven are in there now. They normally spend a little time inside so know all about the litter (pools) so that isn't a problem but they are sooooo bored!!!
You would think they would play with each other but they just don't do that. Don't know why. Two of them are BFF and are just snuggling but the others don't know what to do with themselves. They hate this and I do also! Cleaning litter pools twice a day isn't pleasant and then what to do with the pounds of clumps is something I will have to worry about later. Can't just throw it outside because the dogs will eat it, nasty creatures that they are - and then throw up all over when they come into the house..
Where is that global warming when you need it?
You hit the nail on the head when you said
'the others don't know what to do with themselves. They hate this'
They're disoriented & leary, & I don't know of a thing you can do other than try to not rattle them further.
Although I'm tempted to make the same joke about global warming, I don't, because so many people just don't realize what it really is;
it isn't just 'warming'; it's violent disruption of normal weather patterns, too, as warm air moves faster. Rest assured, summer will be along in a few months!
RyseRyse - If it helps, every time you clean those litter pools, think of me and many others, who think you are a wonderful person for thinking and caring about your furry friends. You should feel a warm fuzzy glow every time you do it, cyber-hugs are being sent your way.
cardboard boxes of all sizes, large paper grocery bags, the plastic rings off of milk jug caps. ping pong balls, tennis balls, lightweight (small) throw rugs, crumpled up small paper balls, straws, chunks of firewood ... these are all good distractions for bored cats.They need things to hide in and under and things to chase and bat around.

Get Our Full Review
Witch hunting is a serious business for Master Gregory (Jeff Bridges), who uses all his medieval skills for the job. But to fight the evil Mother Malkin (Julian Moore) he will also need the help of his new apprentice (Ben Barns), a seventh son of a seventh son.
Content Details
Why Is Seventh Son Rated PG-13?
Seventh Son is rated PG-13 for intense fantasy violence and action throughout, frightening images and brief strong language.
Here is additional information on sex, violence and profanity in Seventh Son...
Violence: A woman is imprisoned in a cave. A child screams and rages after being possessed by an evil spirit. Characters engage in frequent fights, sometimes involving swords and knives. Others characters are beaten, stabbed, choked, impaled and burned. A few scenes depict blood. Some characters transform into monsters or other hideous beasts. A woman's face is covered with scars after she is burned. A village is decimated and burned.
Sexual Content: A teen couple kisses and embraces several times. They are seen cuddling in bed, mostly clothed. A girl's bare shoulders are seen while she is swimming in a lake.
Language: The script contains one use of the sexual expletive in a non-sexual context, along with infrequent mild cursing and profanity.
Alcohol / Drug Use: An adult character drinks frequently and often appears to be slightly drunk. He offers a swig to a teen character and he takes it. A man gives a teen a piece of "root" to use for his own enjoyment, although no depiction of its use is included.
Home Video Viewing Alternatives
Here are some ideas for home video titles that are related to Seventh Son.
Ben Barns plays another fighter of evil in The Chronicles of Narnia - Prince Caspian and Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Jeff Bridges character mentors another youngster in Tron: Legacy. And a teen learns the art of magic in The Sorcerer's Apprentice.

Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of death from cancer in the United States. Being that March is colorectal cancer awareness month, how can we lower our chance of colon and rectal cancer?
Only 25% of colon cancer patients have a family history. For individuals who do not have a family history of colon cancer, the onset can be attributed by lifestyle (poor diet and lack of exercise), environmental exposure, or stress. Stress causes inflammation, which ultimately suppresses the immune system and links to cancer. Read more

The Last Word In Business
Originally published on Fri August 17, 2012 10:06 am
As in much of the country, it's been a hot summer in the state of Oklahoma, and the heat has forced those without air conditioning to get creative.
Today's last word in business is a Scottish solution.
Mechanics at O'Brien Auto Performance are keeping cool in kilts. From May to October, some employees there don kilts to enjoy a breezier workday.
GREENE: The uniform has its challenges, though, since the mechanic often work underneath cars. Owner David O'Brien told KOTV it is important to keep your knees down and your legs crossed. OK.
Well, that's the business news on MORNING EDITION, NPR from News.

DEFT Round 1: Match 01- Blood and StoneA large crowd steadily pours into a very large dojo. Two men are handing out pamphlets on the upcoming fights in the first round. A large hanging banner displays the names of the first two contestants competing. "Shale Vs Gohma? I swear 99% of these competitors are foreign—" "—what their aren't even 100 fighters you idiot." "But you get what I'm saying right? It's King and our small Island against the world! Kind of exciting isn't it?" The other man reaches into a large pack on his side. "I guess, man does it work up my appetite though..huh what where's my roll." He rummages around inside the bag and then begins flailing it around. "Damn, thieving tourists!! Where's my bread? which one of you slimy.." The man continues ranting about and through a screen door several fighters can be seen training. A few from the group, though, are resting on a bench conversing. The smaller one pulls out a roll of bread and starts to
DEFT IntroductionSunlight glares above, bathing a light bed of sand and eager waves. A wall of fauna greets the sun a safe distance from the tide's reach. Suddenly, a large wave sends onto the shore. A writhing mass emerges from the waves appearing to move. It hulks up propping itself on a mass of limbs. It peers to the sky and then the treeline. A cloud of sediment kicks up and the being disappears without a trace.A mile or so away a group of fisherman and some children are reeling in a catch "That's my boy! Look of those muscles, reelin' her in like a champ!" "Uh, actually pa' this loads really light.." The child replies with an unnerving grin. The father snatches the line from his son and rallies the cage upward. It surfaces and just about leaps out of the water with momentum. A small glowing nymph is all that resides inside. "Not another bug!" He throws the small insect over his shoulder. The son catches it and just stares, the bug looks back at him. His stomach growls and the bug tries to skitter

I am trying to use jQuery's ajax functionality to update data from a web form (ASP.NET MVC). Part of the data comes from a text area, and while is not a huge amount of data, can easily be more than 2 KB.
It seems that jQuery ajax puts all data into the query string, hence causing IIS to reject the URL, hence breaking the call. Is it possible to add data to a POST request using the ajax model under jQuery, rather than having everything in the query string?

I only ask because someone gave me a SilverCrest set for C*s (I didn't actually write the wrod FE!) and it is excellent.
It is still available from Lidl for about £20. The keyboard has every button you could possibly think of and the mouse is also multi buttoned and a delight to use.
Highly recommended.

Wasn't really looking for one but as I have 2 computers can you program both to work with the same keyboard and Mouse.
That way I could do away with the clutter.

Posted January 6, 2012 at 8:57PM
I would guess so. All you would have to do is install the software on each computer and then designate what programme you want to run using the keyboard shortcut buttons. This done through the software which shows up on the taskbar.
For example, on one computer you would have the "internet" button set to start IE, while on the other you could have it set to run Firefox (or whatever).
You can also reprogramme the mouse buttons should you so desire.
Hope this helps.

New software to manage newspaper home delivery and customer ...
New software to manage newspaper home delivery and customer relationships Newspaper Home delivery is in play in newsagencies across Australia. Some newsagents are selling their distribution runs while others are walking away. For most keen to exit the distribution side of the business, there are others keen pursuing acquisition. A new home delivery model is emerging, one where the 'newsagency' operates from a warehouse and is a distribution only business. Newsagents in South Australia and Western Australia have had this model for decades. It appears to have served their markets well. Distribution only newsagents are a relatively new phenomenon in the eastern states. Now, they are growing rapidly in number and size. In this emerging model, retail-only newsagents are often engaged to act as the public face of the business for payment of the account and processing over the counter stop and start requests. This is where there have been challenges in managing accounting and other records. Thanks to close work with several distribution only newsagents and extensive trials in retail only newsagencies, new technology has emerged to make it easier to process home delivery accounts, stops, starts and other transactions at retail only newsagencies. In the past such processing has been slow, cumbersome and incompatible with existing systems in use in the retail newsagency. I know because I have experienced this myself in my own newsagency. Customers blame the retailer for problems outside their control. Now, thanks to new research, remote location access is available with excellent performance and up-time. This leads to happier customers and happier newsagents on both ends. Oh, and happier newspaper publishers. The new home delivery management facilities will make it easier for consolidation of distribution territories to the warehouse model while maintaining an excellent public face for newspaper home delivery customers. Using the latest in Windows based remote access tools, any number of retail newsagents can act as shop fronts for a warehouse based distribution business and maintain stable access to their retail software. Tower Systems is leading the field in this new technology as a result of its ownership of three newsagencies and leveraging off its relationships with more than 1,500 newsagents using its software. The Tower Systems newsagent network package makes it easier for home delivery and retail newsagents to work together. At the retail end, staff can: Stop and/or start newspaper delivery Process payments Note missed deliveries Add new customers Handle account queries. The distribution newsagent can control the level of access for retail newsagent staff using sophisticated security settings. The retail and distribution newsagents each have access to a payments report to track monies collected for the distribution newsagent. The distribution newsagent has the same report on their system. The new technology is offered with a new pricing model which reflects the changing nature of home delivery. This pricing model provides a more economically viable offer for distribution newsagents looking for more efficient management of information through their retail partners. Above all else, the latest changes improve customer service and when it comes to home delivery, that is really all that matters. Mark Fletcher is Managing Director of Tower Systems. www.towersystems.com.au
