The tablet-based experience allows movie fans to explore Wolverine's physical features and the physiological and psychological causes behind them as the sixth movie in the franchise becomes available on digital HD.
Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment has launched The Wolverine Unleashed, an "immersive" digital experience that takes fans inside actor Hugh Jackman's portrayal of the superhero mutant Wolverine.
The latest Wolverine flick, The Wolverine, was the sixth film in which Jackman played the character. This tablet-based experience coincides with the film's digital HD release on November 19.
The Wolverine, which had a production budget of $120 million and was released in theaters in July, made $132 million in the U.S. for a total of $415 million worldwide, according to online movie publication and box office reporting service Box Office Mojo.
Digital agency Soap Creative worked with Twentieth Century Fox to create what it calls "an up-close-and-personal tablet web experience" of the actor and character in this and preceding Wolverine movies.
Soap says the experience gives fans "the ability to navigate a full-scale digital version of the Wolverine's body, allowing them to explore his mutant powers and psyche" with close attention to Jackman's interpretation of the character.
In other words, users can navigate through Jackman/Wolverine's body parts, including eyes/ears/nose, brain, heart, DNA, muscles, claws and nerves, and click on elements like memories, nightmares and healing to find additional content like YouTube videos and concept art.
A Soap rep says Wolverine Unleashed allows users to interact on three levels: on the surface level, users can roam around Jackman's body, locating hotspots; the mid-level appears as a medical scan; and, at the deepest level, users learn about the root causes and motivations behind every aspect of his character.
The rep also says the experience incorporates native touch-based gestures that consumers use on tables like pinch-and-zoom to navigate between the levels. It also uses the iPad's gyroscope "to add extra depth to the UI elements when a user tilts their device whilst exploring," the rep says.
While moviegoers likely know plenty about Wolverine after six films, the rep says: "There's a lot more to his character, and Soap wanted to create an interactive experience where anyone, from diehard fans to newbies, can find out things they didn't know -- not just about his surface features, but the deeper causes behind those features -- both physiologically and psychologically."
Soap says it also worked with Twentieth Century Fox on Wolverine Experience Kiosks to promote the theatrical release. According to YouTube, these kiosks are an interactive augmented reality experience using Kinect for Xbox 360 that brought Wolverine's superpowers into users' hands.

Brazilian consumer prices rose at the fastest pace in nine months in January on higher transport, food and drink costs, reinforcing bets the central bank will miss its year-end inflation target as the economy rebounds.
Brazilian interest-rate forecasts by economists and traders are diverging by the most this year. Recent history shows traders are more accurate predictors of the country's monetary policy.
Brazilian central bank President Alexandre Tombini missed the first milepost in his plan to bring down inflation and cut interest rates at the same time.
Brazil's inflation quickened to the fastest pace in five months in September as food prices pushed the annual rate above the government's target.
"Such measures announced at the beginning of his term show Levy is comfortable implementing what he believes is best."

Unemployment and disability pension-an 18-year follow-up study of a 40-year-old population in a Norwegian county

BMC Public Health 2012, 12:148 doi:10.1186/1471-2458-12-148Published: 28 February 2012
This study explored the association of unemployment and an increased risk of receiving disability pension, and the possibility that this risk is attributed to municipality-specific characteristics.
A cohort of 7,985 40-42 year olds was followed for 18 years in national registers, identifying new episodes of unemployment and cases of disability pension. The association between an unemployment period and disability pension in the subsequent year was estimated using discrete time multilevel logistic regressions and clustering individuals by municipality. The association between unemployment and disability pension was adjusted for age in the follow up-period, sex, baseline health status, health behaviour and education level. A conditional intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) was estimated as a measure of inter-municipality variance.
In the follow-up period, 2784 (35%) of the participants were granted disability pension. The crude odds ratio for receiving disability pension after unemployment (adjusted for age in follow-up period and sex only) was 1.42 (95% CI 1.1-1.8). Adjusting for baseline health indicators reduced the odds ratio of unemployment to 1.33 (CI 1.1-1.7). A fully adjusted model, including education level, further reduced the odds ratio of unemployment to 1.25 (CI 1.00-1.6). The ICC of the municipality level was approximately 2%.
Becoming unemployed increased the risk of receiving subsequent disability pension. However, adjusting for baseline health status, health behaviour and education attenuated this impact considerably. The multilevel analysis indicated that a minor, yet statistically significant, proportion of the risk of disability pension can be attributed to the municipality of residence.

Quantum of the Seas
I so much love sea and all things related. Being originally from a country with no sea, I don't even know where this love affair came from. Seaside, boats, infinite shades of blue, relaxing sound of the sea, fresh breeze and the smell of the salt in the air, I can dream on. Just add good food and I'm one very happy girl.
But strangely enough, an idea of days spent on a ship cruising the ocean never really excited me. I was thinking something like "Why would you voluntarily get stuck on a ship for days? What would you do? What a boring way to spend your holiday..." I was proven SO wrong, after spending two days on board Quantum of the Seas last month. I had absolutely no idea it would be one of the best experience of the year. My first cruise ever couldn't get any better than this. From the moment I put my foot on board, I wouldn't stop saying "wow"! Starting with an amazing lunch at Jamie's Italian, followed by a lot more food at some of 18 restaurants on board, drinking cocktails prepared by a robotic bartender, watching one of the most interesting shows at the Two 70º or admiring the ship from a glass pod lifted 300 ft above sea level, I was not bored even for a second and wished I could stay for another week to experience everything this smart ship has to offer. And there is a lot more!

Rubys Of London Christmas Cakes
I admit I have a sweet tooth, so cakes are one of my favourite subjects to shoot. Recently, I photographed seasonal cakes for one of my clients - Rubys Of London. It's always pleasure to work with talented people. Beautiful, incredibly delicious, and as a bonus vegan and gluten free, Ruby's cakes are everything you can ask for. I've got to love the sweet perks of my job. If you happen to be in London on weekends, I recommend to swing by Greenwich Market to soak up the magical Christmas atmosphere, warm up with a cup of mulled wine and have a taste of Ruby's delicious cakes and cupcakes.

Broome Farm Orchards & Cider
Summer's long gone, but there are a few things that make autumn my second favourite season, definitely not the weather though! I take autumn as a gentle preparation for a few months of dreadful cold and lack of light. Fresh air, changing colours, autumn produce and cider, on the other hand are those things that make this season more bearable, and actually beautiful.
A few weeks ago I visited Broome Farm in Herefordshire owned and run by Mike Johnson, a cider maker and owner of Ross-on-Wye Cider & Perry Company. Cider became my favourite drink quickly after I moved in the UK, so I was really excited to be able to watch the process of making this delicious drink. Mike produces quite a few different varieties of cider and perry (all made from 100% pure juice) which I had the pleasure to taste. Luckily, the tasting came after I had taken a tour around the farm and watched apples being harvested and turned into a delicious naturally fermented drink which can come up to 8.4% alc! Mike's apple and perry pear orchards spread over 40 acres producing many different varieties of cider apple and perry pears including Michelin and Dabinett bittersweet cider apples grown for Bulmers. Mike is an enthusiastic cider maker and really nice person so it comes as no surprise that he's been awarded many times for his produce and contribution to the cider industry. He's always happy to share his knowledge with new cider makers and he also runs an annual cider festival, which I really hope to visit next year.
So despite a typical rainy autumn day and a very early start, I had a great time (and arrived back home a bit tipsy).

When the Ford jokes stop
Serious consequences to infamy for biggest city's mayor
TORONTO -- When the Toronto Maple Leafs blew a third-period lead and stumbled out of the NHL playoffs, much of the rest of Canada revelled in sweet, sweet schadenfreude.
Watching the nation's largest city fail is an admittedly immature pleasure, but easy to justify on an ethical basis when you consider the Leafs are only playing a game.
Wishing humans actual harm is unconscionable. Taking pleasure from that harm is suspect.
But in the grand scheme of potential human transgressions, there's no reserved-seating area in hell for the multitudes of Manitobans and other Canadians who take amusement from the continuing ineptitude of the object of Toronto's undying love.
In this instance, deriving pleasure from Toronto's pain is a lot like taking 90 seconds to scan a gossip story about Amanda Bynes tossing a bong out the window of her Manhattan apartment. We do not know the former child star, nor do we identify with her disillusioned fans.
Enjoying a smirk at her expense doesn't make us feel guilty, because we have no stake in the outcome of her behaviour. It's the same with the Toronto Maple Leafs, who are just as much of an abstraction, even though we actually do know a number of people who will profess to being their fans.
But there's a limit to an acceptable amount of schadenfreude, even when Torontonians are involved.
In 2010, it was amusing to see the buffoon Rob Ford get elected mayor of Canada's largest city. In 2013, there's nothing remotely acceptable about engaging in Schadenford, a term coined by Toronto Life in 2008, when then-councillor Rob Ford was charged with assault and uttering death threats in a domestic incident involving his wife.
Even Canadians who rarely pay attention to municipal politics are likely to know the name Rob Ford, thanks to his multitude of personal problems and political foibles.
As a mere city councillor, he was infamous for rarely showing up to committee meetings, opining Asians "work like dogs" and "are slowly taking over," suggesting cyclists are to blame for their own deaths on the road and getting kicked out of a Leafs game for being drunk and abusive. This is a but a short summary of the list of his early transgressions.
After becoming mayor, Ford invited Don Cherry to city hall for his inaugural. The famously witty broadcaster proceeded to make comments about "the pinkos out there who ride bicycles and everything" and also ridiculed the "left-wing kooks" at city council.
"Oh man, it was just embarrassing for the largest city in the country -- it just made me sad," Coun. Paula Fletcher, one of those apparent kooks, told the Toronto Star at the time.
Little did she know she just witnessed the high point of Rob Ford's time in the mayor's chair.
Over the next 21/2 years, Ford proceeded to stumble from one mishap to another. His many foibles included ignoring council to coach football, reading while driving, getting intoxicated in public, calling 911 on a comedian and diving headfirst into a conflict-of-interest scandal, despite repeated warnings not to do so. The latter move almost cost him his job last year.
It was fair to say the mayor's office in Toronto suffered from political paralysis before May 16, when the Star and Gawker published their now-famous pieces about Ford's alleged presence in a video where he appears to be smoking crack.
Already a national punchline, Rob Ford went international, with U.S. TV talk shows engaging in their own particular form of Schadenford -- sketches about a nice, polite Canadian city with a buffoon leader who does a modern-day Marion Barry impression.
To Americans, so insecure about their image around the world, there's something funny about a Canadian behaving badly. To many Canadians, so insecure about their status relative to the wealthy and well-dressed citizens of Toronto, there could be something just as funny about the nation's largest city being led by not just an ignorant buffoon, but an ignorant buffoon with a serious substance-abuse problem.
Initially, I derived immense pleasure from the latest bizarre development in the already-bizarre Rob Ford saga. On the night of May 16, I spent several gleeful hours making bad puns on Twitter such as "religion apparently is not the opiate of the massive" and offering congratulations to "the crack team of investigative journalists" who broke the story.
But given time to reflect, there's nothing funny about Rob Ford going off the rails of his gravy train.
For starters, as former addicts have pointed out, there's nothing funny about a public figure with apparent substance-abuse problems flaming out in spectacular fashion. Rob Ford may be the architect of his own political demise, but the guy needs therapeutic treatment, despite his own insistence he is not, at this moment, a crack user.
On an equally serious level, the executive political apparatus at the City of Toronto, one of the economic engines of this country, is hobbled by a crisis. It may not be as serious as the corruption scandals that have crippled Montreal and other Quebec municipalities, but the public's already-shaky faith in municipal government has been eroded even further. And that certainly isn't worthy of a laugh.
Finally, there's nothing remotely enjoyable about getting to say "I told you so" if you're one of the many people in Toronto and elsewhere who was paying attention to Rob Ford before he was elected mayor.
In 2010, Ford was a well-known political commodity in Toronto: A lazy anti-intellectual of dubious personal character. Yet he still won the mayor's race by capturing the public's imagination with a simple, idiotic slogan: He was going to end "the gravy train" of wages and benefits flowing to city employees.
Simple sloganeering has elected many vile politicians, most notably back in the days when ordinary people did not have access to endless quantities of information, 24 hours a day, practically everywhere.
But with a minimal modicum of effort, any Toronto voter in 2010 could have learned who and what Rob Ford was, both as a person and as a politician. The fact a majority decided a political lightweight was still the best person to lead the nation's largest city is a testament to how little voters actually bother to care about anything anymore.
This is chilling, not hilarious. And the phenomenon is not restricted to the people of Toronto, who now deserve our sympathy and compassion, not ridicule.
There are many other Canadian politicians who suffer from personal and professional lapses. In Winnipeg, Mayor Sam Katz likely has made more mistakes about matters of actual substance -- policy decisions and ethical choices, that is -- than Rob Ford has in Toronto.
But as I've written in this space before, Katz remains the mayoral candidate to beat in 2014, especially in the absence of a credible alternative. And while Sam Katz does merit scrutiny and criticism, he is far from a complete embarrassment to the city.
Looking east toward Toronto, Winnipeggers can consider themselves lucky to have a sober, tolerant and respectful mayor. Case in point: Sam Katz just raised the Pride Week flag, while Rob Ford has enraged Toronto's gay community with ignorant comments and derisive actions.
Toronto's elected leader has unfortunately set the mayoral bar as low as it can go. Given the importance of the office, this should not make anyone happy, anywhere.

Does 'slime' tire treatment really work?
Ok day seven of the new tractor and I go out and find the rear tire sitting on the rim, was cutting the 'north 50' yesterday, lots of loose soil, who knows what junk is their, I did manage to catch a bit of scrap chainlink fence and wrap it around one blade and the axle (ouch).
So the tire seems to have one small puncture I found using soap, going to go get a tubeless tire kit tomorrow and plug that up.
But does 'slime' really seal like 1/8" punctures or is it only good for thorns and small slow leaks? At 6-10 bucks a bottle I can buy a lot of tire plug kits.
Slime works pretty good on punctures but you are better off plugging the hole. Slime eventually dries up. It also can rust the rim if there are scratches through the paint inside. Slime is way overpriced. I can't pay that much for it. I would rather invest that money in a new tire if I could not find a way to plug or patch the old one. Slime doesn't work on rim leaks either. Plug your tire.
Well I skiped the slime ($10/qt $30/gallon) Had called about tubes last week and they were $20 ea local, figure the local tire shop would charge $6 for a plug or patch and cost me an hours wait or second trip... So $3.99 later at NAPA I got the needle, glue and 8 strips of rubber. Didn't even need to turn on the compressor still had air in the tank from last night, took longer to air up the tire than poke the plug in. Saves me having to take the tire off the rim everytime I need to patch it.
Baymee, according to the slime website it's meant to be flushed and replaced every two years, and they only say it's designed to repair tread leaks.
I like tubes myself. Pain to put tubes in a rider that has had a wheel on for 10 yrs.
I stuffed a couple of tubes in a rider I bought from a school district that had sat with flat tires for a season or two.
The tires had cracked where the tractor sat on the flat tires.
Stuffed new tubes in (slime tubes), now into my 2nd season.
Probably for all general purposes, new tires at Wallyworld were 20 bucks each. But the tube stuff while on the tractor other than scraping my knuckles, did the trick for me.
I put some fix a flat in my front tires. both kept going low every week. I think the beads didn't seal well. Of course having the tires reinstalled probably would have fixed the problem, but I had an old can of fix a flat laying around. Since I put it in, no leaks. Some say this stuff rust out rims. I'll cross that bridge when the time comes. I checked cub cadet parts website and new rims are around $65 dollars so there not that expensive to replace.
I fought Slime and other tire sealant products for a long time. Fix A Flat is not in that class, even thou I have used it in emergency situations in my truck on the road. I've not had that many problems with mower tires. Until I started running low pressures to smooth the ride out. Then bead leaks and wild thorn leaks started giving me fits. Then I got a 1200 pound commercial ztr with soft low pressure front caster tires last year leaking down between mowing sessions, I used the advice from commercial lawn care operators. I got some low pressure Slime. I haven't had a problem since. I got no reports about rusted rims. But the main thing is I have no flats. I hardly have to add air to my tires. Checking tire pressures is second only to checking oil levels. I'm not completely happy with Slime. But I am extremely happy about no more flat or low tires pressures.
At the shop, I've been using the Stens type of slime for many years and never had a problem with it. A gallon is about $100. Then I saw that Tractor Supply had a sale on Slime for $20 a gallon, so I bought a few gallons. Now I'm having second thoughts after this thread.
Before I bought, I compared the facts. The same amount of ounces per size of tire is required for both Stens and Slime, so no difference there. Just the price.
Now I'm confused about which product to use.
To honest I think the Low Pressure Slime works, and works very good. Inter tubes have their place, but they are expensive, some what hard to place in the tire, and they do get punctures too. I too have some 11 year old front tires I was going to replace last year. Now with the help of Low Pressure Slime they hardly loose any air. Slime contains corrosion and rust inhibitors to protect the rim. Slime has a place with me.
ms- Two year anti-crud protection, so after 2 years drain/flush/replace, wish I had thought of that! Need a leaker fixed, bet the tire shop will not be happy with washing the stuff out, drying the tire and patching it. On top of that then the replacment slime, sounds like a 1950's 'B' movie to me, oh wait that was the Blob with Steve Mcqueen!
Naw! I do all my own tire work! It's not fun! But some body has to do it. But what do do when you're mowing and a thorn causes a leak? Put a plug in it? First you have to get the mower to the air compressor with the tire bead off the rim. The rim is cutting the tire, and dirt is building up. Now I don't have that many flats, now! But when I did, it was easy to lose 2 hours easy! So I don't know? To Slime on mot to Slime? I remember Solvent Green with Charleston Heston!
Good Night!
It was Soylant Green or however it was spelled.
I notice the word "thorn" alot in this post. Where are these thorns that puncture tires? I've never seen any. The tires on my Wheelhorse and JD are about 25 years old and could drive over broken bottles. I can't even tell if they are low on air because they never go flat. I would need a crow bar 100 foot long to lever the bead over the edge of the rim.
Who makes tires that thorns go through?
Baymee - here ya go...
I usta cut my S-I-l's grass (>6 acres) with a MTD 2560 tank ZTR.. he had some of those thorn trees on his property... yeah, raised the devil with any mower pneumatic tire, including auto tires and tractor front tires.
Get too close to the thorn trees and it would slice you up good. Was a B***** to try to buck up with a chain saw.
Here is a link that might be useful: thorn trees
Skip the Slime, Fix a flat and plugs. I highly recommend LiquiTube tire sealant. It is a flat tire eliminator. It will seal punctures from 1/4" up to 3/4' holes depending on the plys of the tire. It will also stop leaks from dry rot. I use it on all of my tires. It works great. I think you can find it by going to Google and typing Liquitube
Liquitube is another anti-freeze (ethylene glycol) based tire sealant. Been there done that. Costs too much, makes a huge mess when you finally take the tire off, dries up eventually, doesn't fix rim leaks, poisonous. Plug leaks, install a tube, or replace the tire.

Creativity with Plastics
Green and bio-plastics

Metal Replacement
Symphony's CEO, Michael Laurier commented "Public pressure to ban plastic is driven by the fact that plastic litter can last for hundreds of years in the environment. It is now clear that there is no need to ban plastic just use d2w oxo-biodegradable technology to control the life of the plastic at little or no extra cost. It can still be re-used and recycled during its service-life, and can be safely incinerated and landfilled."
"In view of these four important developments the supermarkets and other commercial end-users can now move forward with confidence to adopt d2w technology for all their short-life plastic products made from polyethylene, polypropylene or polystyrene."
On 20th June 2011 the British Standards Institution ("BSI") published BS8472 which provides tests for biodegradation in soil and simulates the real-world behaviour of plastic products which get into the environment and cannot realistically be collected.
This is the first and only Standard in Europe for biodegradability of plastic litter in the environment a major breakthrough for d2w oxo-biodegradable plastics in Europe and around the world. BS8472 is the result of more than five years work in the Committees of BSI, in which Symphony played a leading role.
Until now, the only standard in Europe by which biodegradable plastics could be tested was EN13432 for plastics which biodegrade in the special conditions found in industrial composting, but compostable plastic can obviously not address the problem of plastic litter as it must first be collected.
Much confusion had been caused by allegations that a plastic could not be described as biodegradable unless it complied with EN13432 or its equivalents (American Standard D6400, Australian 4736 and the corresponding ISO Standards). This confusion is now at an end.
For the first time the EU commission have expressly recognised the problem of plastic litter in the environment, which d2w is designed to address. In their Consultation Document on Plastics Bags the Commission said: "Plastic carrier bags are packaging products with a short lifespan that due to their low weight and small size can easily escape the waste management flows and be conveyed to the sea by rain, drains and rivers. Once in the environment, plastic bags can last for hundreds of years. Because they last so long, every year the number of plastic bags in the litter stream increases. "
The Commission also said "In the current practice, a packaging product is acknowledged to be biodegradable if it biodegrades in industrial composting facilities in controlled conditions. However, a product that is compostable in an industrial facility will not necessarily biodegrade in natural conditions in the environment."
The Commission made the important point that "Advertising a packaging product as biodegradable when in fact it will not biodegrade in natural conditions can be misleading for the consumer and can contribute to the proliferation of littering of products that will persist in the environment."
Symphony therefore expects that suppliers of compostable plastic will stop describing their product as "biodegradable." The Commission also said "The current legislative provisions do not allow for a clear distinction between biodegradability and compostability highlighting the need for a Standard for oxo-biodegradable plastic, which has now been published as BS8472."
In February 2011 the UK Environment Agency published a Life-Cycle Assessment which showed that oxo-biodegradable bags have a better LCA than paper or compostable plastic bags.
In April 2011 the British Plastics Federation submitted to the UK Government (DEFRA) a scientific dossier which proves the biodegradability, non eco-toxicity, and recyclability of oxo-biodegradable plastics.
Symphony Environmental Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary of Symphony Environmental Technologies Plc that is a British Public Company established in 1995 and dedicated to finding technical solutions to the world's environmental problems.
Symphony has its own laboratories and test facilities in England where it constantly tests, develops, and improves its products, working closely with universities and other specialist scientific canters in the UK and overseas. Symphony's team has a total of more than 100 years experience in the manufacture of plastic products, and is able to provide a high-quality product, and an after-sales service without parallel in the industry. During 2010 Symphony made substantial investments in the latest equipment, and strengthened its technical team with the addition of a PhD in polymer science and a BSc in physics. Symphony has also strengthened its marketing and sales teams, and is now established in larger and more modern operating facilities, with room for expansion.
Symphony is a member of the Oxo-biodegradable Plastics Association; the Society for the Chemical Industry (UK); the British Plastics Federation (BPF); The European Organization for Packaging and the Environment (EUROPEN); and the British Brands Group. Symphony actively participates in the work of the British Standards Institute (BSI); the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM); the European Standards Organization (CEN); and the International Standards Organization (ISO).

6th Arrondissement (St.-Germain)
Restaurants in 6th Arrondissement (St.-Germain)
Tapas-style dining is the mark of Le Salon d'Hélène, as is the southwest France cuisine created by the salon's Basque chef-owner Hélène Darroze, who comes from a family of hotel and restaurant owners.
In addition to his mens- and womenswear collections, Black Label, RRL Jeans, Ralph Lauren Home collection, and a jewel-box-like boutique for watches, the new store also houses Lauren's first restaurant outside of the States (the other is in Chicago).
Given that it sits in prime tourist territory, this small neighborhood bistro is all too easy to miss—or dismiss—but its loyal (and largely French) clientele knows better.
Located down a narrow street in the Latin Quarter, Da Rosa houses a delicatessen and a small eatery. A covered terrace sits in front of the black storefront while inside, blocks of pig legs are lined up.
21 is one of those under-the-radar Paris restaurants where true gourmands love to dine, regardless of the steep prices.
Chef Yves Camdeborde's Le Comptoir on the Left Bank seats only 20, so reservations for the single-seating prix fixe dinner must usually be made several months in advance. Fortunately, the restaurant also operates as a more casual brasserie during lunchtime.
Located just a few steps from St.-Germain-des-Prés' iconic Café de Flore, Yen is an authentic Japanese cuisine restaurant and noodle house. The simple lines, wood doors, and lone white flag outside complement Yen's minimalist Asian décor inside.
Russian-style teas have been a Paris staple since 1867, but this little boutique and café, located in the sixth arrondissement, brings tea-sipping into the 21st century. Inside, the shop's walls are lined with colorful tins on shelves.
Café de Flore, which is situated at the heart of the chic St.-Germain-des-Prés, is a Paris landmark for its storied history, sunny terrasse, classic Art Deco interior, and broad menu offerings.
One lofty dining room, decorated with bright and bold contemporary paintings on every available wall, serves as the annex to chef William Ledeuil's wildly popular Ze Kitchen Galerie in St. Germain.
Not far from the Jardin du Luxembourg, chef Guy Martin established Sensing, and then left it to young chef Fabrizio La Mantia. Sensing was named one of Gayot's 2011 Hot 10 Paris Restaurants. Royal-purple banquettes and chairs surround natural wood tables.
Chef William Ledeuil, who earned his toque under Guy Savoy, is a scholar of Asian flavors, grafting them with impeccably French, impeccably modern techniques, as seen through the open kitchen of this handsome, Michelin star-winning St. Germain restaurant.
Housed in the Bini family home on Rue Gérgoire de Tours, Casa Bini looks like a rustic taverna, with its terra cotta tiles, exposed beams, bright yellows and greens, and two olive trees.
A Mexican restaurant in the heart of St.-Germain-des-Prés. It may seem an unlikely cuisine for one of Paris's quaintest quartiers, but young French people go absolutely crazy over it—the place is always packed.

Just purchased ChessMaster The ARt of Learning. It will arrive by mail on Saturday. How do you go about becoming a better chess palyer with it? Any tips would be appreciated. Also, how do you set up a position to play against the computer?
Wait until you get the program and come back with unanswered questions. It's pretty self-explanatory.
It's lots of fun to play rated games against the various "personalities" and see if you can get your own rating up. I have it, and use it for that.
But I have to point out that you're a diamond member. There's about 1000X more material and educational value on this site for diamond members than there is in Chessmaster. If you want to become a better player, use the resources right here.
just play around with it and see what content interests you. game analysis and mate searches you'll do through training mode - just paste the pgn and select game analysis or mate search from the mentor menu. position setup is accessed from the main menu - after you set up the position you can set the opponents for both black and white. You can just use the board to move both black and white peices around or you can play as one side against the computer or have the computer play against itself. just explore the game and if you have any specific questions make sure you come back and ask
thanks guys..I cant wait
And here's a hint I hope you don't have to use. When CM locks up (and for my last 3 computers, that's about 2or 3 times a week), it's "the King" that needs attention. You'll need to shut down CM, start Task Manager (control,alternate,delete-the fabled 3 finger computer salute) scroll down the list of running processes, and then manualy delete "The King". Rebooting obviously works too, but this is faster and easier.
If you like playing white against the Sicilian, try playing "Slick". He always answers e4 with c5. Fun program. Enjoy...

Good for large groups
It is a beautiful old property with character, quiet and a serene setting. Our large group enjoyed the stay. The bathrooms need to be updated and some paint needs to be chipped off the ceilings but nothing that caused any problems. In amenities a grill is listed. We had planned to grill while there but it was not available. When we called to ask where it was they said they'd have to bring it to us as they store it in the garage. We didn't know we had to ask for listed amenities. We told them no because we didn't want to wait to cook dinner. We've rented several properties through different companies and never had to send a cash deposit. We were told our refund would come in 14 days. The property management company kept our money for 49 days and there were delayed responses to our emails and calls. We truly thought the money was gone but finally received it after the holidays. This was very poor customer service. We rented in mid-November and expected to have our money returned by Thanksgiving. They really never said they were sorry....just kept saying I'm busy flying here and there and will send the check next week. We enjoyed the property. Just know you have to be patient for your refund. Very nice kitchen.
We stayed in the Main House and Game room for the weekend for my husband's 40th Birthday. We could not have asked for anything better. The Main House is gorgeous with plenty of room and has everything you need. We were able to cook our meals, have a fire outside, take a walk through the woods and so much more. We really enjoyed the privacy. It felt as if you were entering a hidden gem as your drove back into the property. The Game Room was a huge hit as well with the pool table, card table and pinball machine. Thanks again and we hope to make this an annual celebration!
wonderful home!
The home was beautiful and accommodating! Thanks!

Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky has been found guilty of molesting 10 boys over 15 years. The jury, which had deliberated for just over 20 hours, found Sandusky guilty in 45 of the 48 counts in his child sexual abuse case.
After the verdict was read, Sandusky was taken to county jail to await sentencing in about three months. During the trial, Sandusky never took the stand in his own defense.

Former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling, joining Dennis & Callahan in studio for 90 minutes Friday morning, said he is "tapped out" financially following the demise of his video game company.
Schilling said he invested "just north of $50 million" of his own money and lost it all. "I'm tapped out," he insisted.
Spurs guard Tony Parker on Thursday filed a lawsuit against a New York City nightclub for $20 million after he received a scratched retina during a fight involving singer Chris Brown and hip-hop star Drake. The dispute apparently centered around the singer Rihanna, who both men have dated. Parker accused the W.i.P. club in SoHo of being negligent in security and supervision for allowing the fight to happen.
LeBron James might have won over some fans for fighting through leg cramps in the final minutes to help the Heat defeat the Thunder in Tuesday night's Game 4 of the NBA finals, but some hockey players were not impressed.
Tweeted Ducks center Nick Bonino: We get it Lebron, it doesn't hurt when you're running around but it looks unbearable when the cameras are close up during the timeouts.
Added Capitals minor leaguer Ryan Potulny: Lebron James is embarrassing himself and the NBA or actually all athletes.
Rays pitcher Joel Peralta was ejected from Tuesday night's 5-4 victory over the Nationals after umpires found "a significant amount of pine tar" on his glove when he entered the game in the eighth inning. Peralta, who pitched for the Nationals in 2010, appears to have been exposed by a former teammate, as Washington manager Davey Johnson requested the inspection after "a rumor that he liked a little pine tar."
Peralta tipped his cap to the Nationals dugout as he left the field.
League MVP LeBron James received the most votes from the league's coaches for the NBA All-Defensive team, but Thunder forward Serge Ibaka isn't impressed with his performance in the finals.
"LeBron is not a good defender," Ibaka said. "He can play defense for 2-3 minutes but not 48 minutes."
The Heat have won the last two games in the NBA finals to take a 2-1 series lead, and both games featured controversial calls that benefited LeBron James and left the Thunder frustrated.
In the closing seconds of Thursday's Game 2, James escaped a foul call despite clearly making contact with Kevin Durant as the Thunder star attempted a game-tying shot. In Sunday's Game 3, James was the beneficiary of a generous foul call with 16 seconds left that allowed him to essentially put the game away with a free throw.
Webb Simpson shot a final-round 68 on Sunday to catch third-round leaders Jim Furyk and Graeme McDowell and win the U.S. Open at The Olympic Club in San Francisco. Both Furyk and McDowell had an opportunity to catch Simpson with a birdie on 18, but neither could turn the trick, as Furyk ended up with a bogey and McDowell couldn't connect on a 24-foot birdie putt. It was the first major win for Simpson, who was the runner-up at the U.S. Amateur at Olympic Club in 2007.
Boston University announced Friday that it will leave the America East Conference for the Patriot League after the 2012-13 season.
"This is a really unique opportunity for us to challenge ourselves," BU athletic director Mike Lynch said in a statement. "We will be entering a league that embodies the ideal of valuing academics as the highest priority while sponsoring very competitive athletic programs. That is our commitment too."
Yahoo! Sports writer Dan Wetzel joined Dennis & Callahan on Friday to discuss the ongoing trial of former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.
After the first four days of witnesses from the prosecution, Wetzel said the alleged victims that were called to the stand were very powerful.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Narrow window of opportunity to visit glacier-fed Takakkaw Falls in B.C.
TAKAKKAW FALLS, B.C. - Sometimes spontaneity is the best trip adviser.
After years of seeing the sign for Yoho Valley Road near Field, B.C., a long-delayed 13-kilometre journey up a narrow, steep and winding road led to an unexpected gem at the end of the trail.
Takakkaw Falls can be seen from kilometres away, but its loud roar is the first thing you notice when you step out of your car. It is 384 metres (1,260 feet) from its base, making it the second highest officially measured waterfall in Western Canada after Della Falls on Vancouver Island. However, its true "free fall" is only 254 metres (833 feet).
"Takakkaw" translates from Cree as "it is magnificent."
The falls are fed by the Daly Glacier, which is part of the Waputik Icefield. The meltwater keeps the volume of the falls up during the warm summer months, particularly in late spring after the heavy snow melts, when the falls are at peak condition.
"It's a popular, enjoyable place and people really do love it. It's a spectacular view. You've got the blue greens of the river. It's just fantastic," said Karin Smith, the promotions officer for Yoho National Park.
"At Yoho our little slogan has always been Rock Walls and Waterfalls."
From the parking area a paved path less than a kilometre away leads to the bottom of the waterfall. The water is ice cold and mist hangs in the air.
Smith said a visit is really getting away from it all.
"You can feel it even as you're driving up and getting further and further away from the highway and the traffic noises. It's a really neat drive."
The day use/parking area for Takakkaw Falls is also the staging area for hikers exploring the Little Yoho Valley.
It's an eight-kilometre trek one-way to Twin Falls and the Twin Falls Tea House, which was built in three phases between 1908 and 1928 as a stopover cabin for trail ride tour groups.
It was designated a national historic site in 1992 and commemorated as an example of the Rustic Design Tradition utilized in early National Park architecture as well as its role in early recreation and tourism endeavours in Yoho National Park.
The water source of Twin Falls is the Glacier des Poilus, which breaks into two streams above the cliff, creating the unusual spectacle of two waterfalls side by side.
About 500,000 people visit Yoho National Park each year, but Smith said it's hard to calculate how many people visit Takakkaw Falls. She said access to the area is severely limited by the weather.
"The road generally opens the end of June and is open from mid- to late October depending on how quickly the snowpack melts in the spring and returns in the fall," Smith added.
If You Go ...
How to get there: From Lake Louise, Alta., it's about a half-hour drive. Head west for 25 kilometres along the Trans-Canada Highway (Hwy 1). You'll cross the Continental Divide, which separates Alberta and British Columbia as well as marking the borders between Banff and Yoho National Park. Exit right onto Yoho Valley Road and follow for about 13 kilometres to the end of the road.
While you're in the area, backtrack to Lake Louise, well worth a visit, and take the Icefields Parkway (Hwy 93N) to the Columbia Icefields.

Footers for Lightweight Roof Over Patio
I have an existing 8 X 9 foot concrete patio at the back of my house, the patio is about 15 inches above grade. It consists of a 4-inch thick slab of concrete supported by a brick foundation. I have no idea what rests below grade under the bricks, in terms of a foundation, and I plan to dig at a corner of the patio to find out. I also do not know if there is a hollow cavity under the patio of if it is filled in. The house foundation is concrete and 15 inches deep and maybe a foot wide, if that helps. The patio was built about 1968, part of a room addition, I think.
I wish to build a lightweight wood frammed, corrugated plastic or plywood with roll roofing cover (roof) over the patio. Upon talking with my County's building inspector (Fairfax County, Virginia), I would need a 4-post cover, since there is no way to properly support the house side of the cover (roof) by attaching it to the eave of the house.
I was told that I need 24 inch deep footers at each corner of the patio, under the location of the posts, to support the patio "roof" to meet code. The footers need to be 18 inches square. The design load (from the Virginia Residential Code that the County uses) is about 2000 pounds for snow load and whatever the roof (plywood and roll roofing) is, so I would guess about 2200 pounds, maximum load for the roof. Divide by four, then the greatest weight each 4X4 post would be designed to bear woulf be 550 pounds. I just cannot fathom the need for an 18-inch, 2-foot deep footer for a 500 pound load. I understand the 24 inches is needed for the frost depth, but 18 inches square? Does this sound correct?
If it is required to dig under the patio and place these, what I consider excessive footers, I will scrap the plans for this project.
The footprint of a footing can depend on a couple of things; the weight-bearing capacity of the soil below versus the load above that the footing is expected to carry, PLUS the footing needs to be wide enough to resist any rotational moment from a load that might not be centered on the footing.
So footings can often seem wider than you'd expect them to be. The frost depth, yeah, that is what it is.

CAIRO (Reuters) - Prominent opposition leader Mohamed ElBaradei said on Saturday there could be no dialogue with Egypt's president until he scrapped a "dictatorial" decree that he said gave the Islamist leader Mohamed Mursi the powers of a pharaoh.
The presidential decree issued on Thursday by Mursi, elected in June with the Muslim Brotherhood behind him, expanded his powers and caused fury amongst his opponents, prompting violent clashes in central Cairo and other cities on Friday.
Judges, angry at steps seen as undermining the judiciary, threatened to strike if it were not revoked and the opposition has called for more protests, with one planned for Tuesday.
"There is no room for dialogue when a dictator imposes the most oppressive, abhorrent measures and then says 'let us split the difference'," ElBaradei, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, said in an interview with Reuters and The Associated Press.
ElBaradei, who had earlier in the day met opposition leaders and said he expected to be coordinator of a new National Salvation Front, said Mursi's decree threatened Egypt's troubled transition and action was needed to stop a "cycle of violence".
"How are we going to do that? I do not see any other way other than through Mr Mursi rescinding his dictatorial declaration," the 70-year-old former U.N. diplomat said, adding the decree created a "new pharaoh".
ElBaradei had met other opposition figures, such as former presidential candidates leftist Hamdeen Sabahy and Amr Moussa, the former Arab League chief. A third presidential candidate, Abdel Moneim Abol Fotouh, sent a representative.
"We will have to continue to escalate our level of expressing resistance, peaceful disobedience," ElBaradei said, adding the aim was to show the depth of opposition.
The former head of the International Atomic Energy Agency said Mursi's moves had galvanised the liberal and other opposition camps to unite. Till now they have proved disparate forces, overwhelmed by the Brotherhood's organisational skills.
ElBaradei said he had met Mursi last week to discuss Egypt's political process, similar to talks the Islamist leader has held with other political leaders. But ElBaradei said he was given no "whiff" that a major decree was coming.
"You assume that if ... the president is going to take sweeping measures grabbing all powers that he will at least consult before," ElBaradei said. "There was no consultation at all. That doesn't show the best of ... intentions or good will."
In his decree, Mursi put all his decisions beyond legal challenge as long as there is no parliament, sacked the unpopular general prosecutor and opened the door to retrials for the already jailed ousted President Hosni Mubarak and his aides.
"I am waiting to see, I hope soon, a very strong statement of condemnation by the U.S., by Europe and by everybody who really cares about human dignity," ElBaradei said, speaking from his elegant villa on the outskirts of Cairo.
ElBaradei returned home to Egypt in 2010 as one of its best-known Egyptians on the world stage. He was a vocal opponent of Mubarak and then, after his overthrow, of the army council that took charge during a 16-month transition.
But ElBaradei disappointed many Egyptians for backing out of the presidential race. Pinning hopes on him to lead Egypt through its troubles, they said he spent too much time abroad.
"People still believe in the sense of a 'saviour,' you know, somebody who is able to single-handedly save them," he said, but added that Egyptians should no longer rely on a "single person" to resolve all their problems.
ElBaradei said he had long argued for a constitution first before elections to prevent the trouble the nation now faced, adding he was right not to take part in a "farcical" election for president when there was no constitution or job description.
Drafting a new constitution has hit gridlock with Islamists and their supporters on one hand and liberals and others on the other at loggerheads over the role of Islam. Liberals have quit and demanded the Islamist-dominated assembly be disbanded.
One of Mursi's measures in his decree was to immunise the assembly against any legal challenge and extend its life by two months, meaning it will not complete its job till February, delaying elections to a new parliament.
The founder of the Dostour (Constitution) Party, popular with many revolutionary youths, said: "We were paying the price of a completely convoluted, completely illogical transition."

Supriya Prathapan
Delhi Poem by Supriya Prathapan
Delhi is an overpopulated state,
Every individual's needs & whims, its deficient resources, cannot satiate.
Yet, in the past few years Dehiites have witnessed such rapid changes,
That previously materialized, in ages.
The roads are broader,
The routes are shorter,
And every Delhiite must confess
That the Delhi Metro has been, a grand success.
Our country is big and our problems are bigger,
Besides, it has a history of having politicians, who almost always, swagger.
However, Delhi's Chief Minister, is a class apart,
We at least know, that she is trying her best, to do her part.
Ms.Shiela Dikshit is the Chief Minister of Delhi,
And, she has, I think, done more for the state than any other Indian lady.
She is the very embodiment of Patience, Perseverance & Propriety,
And is the epitome of the new & progressive Indian polity.
She holds a Master of Arts Degree,
And was schooled at the Convent of Jesus and Mary.
From 1984 till 1989, she represented the Kannauj Parliamentary Constituency
And also served in Lok Sabha's Estimates Committee.
She represented India at the United Nations Commission, on Status of Women.
And led her party to victory in the 1998, Assembly Election.
Let us not forget that we are a comparatively new democracy,
We only got our independence in the previous century.
India has indeed, come a long way,
And has the potential to take the world in its sway.
However, we need to be calm and patient,
Till our country becomes entirely self sufficient.
[Who works for the Indian government? How many of us, actually meet deadlines? Who litters and dirties public places? How many of us are entirely honest and don't think that a little bit of corruption is rather convenient (Be honest!) ? What are we, as individuals, doing for our country?
And finally, what makes a nation? Most people, barring a few idealists, after finding answers to these questions, should ideally stop blaming the Delhi government for the so called "Commonwealth Debacle".]
