female wrote:You may think so, but I sincerely doubt it. Mucha did many female figures standing up 'straight', but even these figures usually had an 'S' curve in them, if not in their body than at least in the form of their clothing (not the detail wrinkles, but the actual shape). These 'S' shapes and contrapasto poses, however subtly done, create a feminine action line and silhouette. Toe's illustration has a very straight action line, which is rigid and masculine. The skirt wrinkles running diagonally help to break this up a bit, but the form and silhouette are still straight up and down. (I won't even discuss the shape that she and the bottom flower create as I don't want to be crude, but it also adds to the masculinity of what should be a very feminine design.) Just my opinion of course. I would be all over this design with some subtle modifications.
I love Mucha's work (even been to the Mucha museum in Prague), and I never consciously noticed that trend. That is awesome to see - thanks Female, for pointing that out. I learned something today! Also, I like the detail work in this design - you should definitely continue experimenting with this style, Toe.
Re: Mechanical Island
Thanks, ever-body.
I really dig this one! reminds me of a monty python creation or something. i hope you make it to the fog, 'cause i'll absolutely buy this!
alternately, this could solve the mystery of how the LOST island moves...
Re: Plumeria Paradise
I quite like the simplicity in this design and how the different elements (flower, water, sun, bird) all meld together into one coherent piece. However, it does remind me a great deal of Thrive from the Green derby.

If you need any sort of inspiration about nature, just look up honeycreepers (iiwi, apapane, amakihi) or ohia-lehua. Outstanding diversity. And if you go above ~1500 feet, no mosquitoes!

Progressive+ Calf Sleeves Customer Reviews

Calf Sleeves Live Up to Hype -
Comments about Progressive+ Calf SleevesI have had problems with my Achilles tendon in one ankle anytime I do explosive exercises such as jumping rope. I purchased your calf sleeves a little skeptical but since I started using them along with icing after workouts I have had no more pain and discomfort. They do everything they say they do when you read the research on compression. Your company was recommended by crossfitters who have tried several other brands and they said that you guys are the best and I agree.

Just Bought my Second Pair! -
Comments about Progressive+ Calf SleevesJust started running 5k's and was having major issues with shin splints around mile 1 so did some research on these calf sleeves. Wasn't sure that compression socks would work since i had found on the net that many tall runners were having issues of socks slipping down. I actually tried socks from another mfg and 1 they were not long enough and 2 they slipped. I have run in 2 5k's with these sleeves and shin splints are gone. I have a few more races before my orange ones come in for the San Jose Giant Race! Awesome. Now i just need to work on my running/distance since i don't have to worry about pain... as much... :)
By Steve
Great support -
Comments about Progressive+ Calf SleevesI am working on riding my first Century ride this summer and have varicose veins in both calves. In terms of support and comfort these calf sleeves are excellent. They are 100% better and far less expensive then the prescription support hose that my doctor prescribed. I often wear them all day at work (10 hours) without discomfort.

Love the Material! -
Comments about Progressive+ Calf SleevesMy husband and I have been using CEP calf sleeves and socks for three years now. I was always stealing his sleeves until you came out with the Women's Lime and Pink. I love the material that is used for CEP products more than other brands. Beside looking cool they do what they say they do! Always have happy calves and feet during my long runs and races! Thanks CEP for great innovative products that look great!

Saved Me During My Half Marathon -
Comments about Progressive+ Calf SleevesIn the weeks leading into my first run of the year (500 Festival Mini Marathon), I developed some pretty annoying shin splints. No matter how much rest, ice, stretching, and massaging I did, they would still aggravate me on my training run. I decided to give the CEP calf sleeves a try as a last resort. During the entire 13.1 miles, I never ached or hurt. I could feel my left leg trying to hurt, but I equally felt the sleeve suppressing it right away. The sleeves never slipped or lost compression during the race. In the days that followed, because I recovered with the sleeves on, I never experienced post-race pain either. They are completely worth every penny.

I Love Them -
Comments about Progressive+ Calf SleevesI decided to use these sleeves for medical purposes i was hit by a motorcycle which badly damaged my leg. I use these everyday and it keeps my leg from getting too swollen they keep my shin and calf supported and I forget I'm even wearing them. I wear these anywhere even to the beach they are now part of my life thank you CEP for a great product !
By Lea
Best Ever on Market -
Comments about Progressive+ Calf SleevesThe best calf sleeves ever in terms of functionality, supreme quality and cool fashion! Love German cutting edge engineering.
By Jim
Amazingly Effective -
Comments about Progressive+ Calf SleevesI have been experiencing terrible calf cramps on every run for over 6 weeks now. I changed shoes, massaged my calf after every run and skipped many running days. Even with waiting 5-7 days between runs I was in such pain that it was hard for me to walk down stairs for several days after a run. Running was out of the question for at least a week after each run. Two weeks ago I bought the CEP calf sleeves and recovery socks, desperate to try anything that would allow me to get back to my normal running routine. On my very first run with these sleeves I had less cramping and pain and I recovered in 2 days instead of 5-7 days. The next week I felt better every day that I ran and now I am back to my normal routine with no pain at all! I do not know if these will work for you, but for me they have been a miracle that have allowed me to resume my full running schedule. I wondered if they could possibly work as well as some reviewers claimed, but now I am telling all of my running friends about what a great product this is!

CFOs remain tepid on financial shared services
Tuesday - 10/9/2012, 10:14am EDT
Adam Goldberg on In Depth with Francis Rose
Federal chief financial officers say finding efficiencies in their agency is among their top priorities. But moving to a financial management shared service provider or even to individual shared applications doesn't rank high on their to-do lists.
In an exclusive Federal News Radio survey of CFOs and deputy CFOs conducted in August, 55 percent of the respondents rated spending money more wisely as their top priority. But at the same time, 36 percent rated moving to the Internet Payment Portal or other financial management shared services as their fourth highest priority, while only 9 percents ranked it as high as third overall.
Adam Goldberg, executive architect in the Office of Financial Innovation and Transformation (OFIT), said CFOs are showing a greater interest in shared services, but they haven't fully committed to the concept.
Adam Goldberg, left, CFO of Treasury, stops by the Federal News Radio studios to talk to In Depth host Francis Rose and executive editor Jason Miller.
"I'm finding that agencies aren't willing to make that leap from paper automatically to digital information," Goldberg said Tuesday during a discussion of the survey results on In Depth with Francis Rose. "There still is an intermediary step they want to take. A lot of agencies will come back and say, 'Does your capability allow me to scan in the paper invoice, so I can have an image to look at?' Really the point of electronic invoicing is to digitize the information upfront so you could display the information visually on a screen, but you don't need it to be in the image of an actually invoice itself."
Text continues after chart.

Federal News Radio conducted the anonymous survey to find out how CFOs and deputy CFOs are dealing with and preparing for sequestration, budget cuts and other challenges. We sent the survey to 58 federal budget officers and received a 24 percent response rate. Out of those who responded, 46 percent were with a cabinet-level agency and 39 percent were with a large agency. All respondents said they are a career official and not a political appointee.
Strategy fails to give shared services a bump
This is the second survey of CFOs in 2012. The first survey also showed CFOs weren't ready to move to shared service providers either.
But now nine months later and with the release of the Office of Management and Budget's shared services strategy, agency budget executives remain uncertain about using these common systems.
Goldberg said CFOs are starting to come around to the idea especially as budgets shrink and their workforce retires.
"Shared services will be one of the key ways the workforce issue will be managed in the future," he said. "I think it's really reaching the realization that we can' t do everything within the organization itself. So, in order to manage the risk of the retirements, I have to look at the possibility of transferring that risk to someone else to assist me."
OFIT is leading an effort to develop several shared services, including electronic invoicing, centralized receivables collections and intergovernmental transactions.
Goldberg said there is greater interest to use these one-offs as opposed to moving an entire financial management system to a shared service provider.
OFIT is getting ready to start a two-year pilot with the centralized receivables collections application. The program will help agencies collect outstanding debts, which could be for a travel expense, a fine or a penalty. Treasury hired a contractor to act as a debt collector, who would take over the billing, the notices and the follow ups that need to take place.
Goldberg said agencies could save $300 million-to-$350 million annually when it is fully scaled across the government.
He said nine agencies have signed up for the pilot, mostly around administrative costs that federal employees incur and fees or fines that are due to the agency from external customers.
"The pilot is going to take place over a two-year period, and we will gradually be bringing on more programs into that and monitoring the increased collections and savings associated with that," Goldberg said. "We went around and actually asked agencies who were interested. We spoke to about 20-to-25 who expressed a good amount of interest and we narrowed it down to the nine who would participate."
E-invoicing slow to get picked up
In addition the debt collection initiative, OFIT's e-invoicing program could save the government millions. Goldberg said at full capacity, agencies could save between $400 million-and-$450 million a year.
Text continues after chart.

"That has been slow start in terms of getting agencies on board," he said. "Treasury will complete its implementation for all bureaus, including the IRS, later this year and Interior also is using the program."
Goldberg added Treasury expected agencies to move more quickly to the e-invoicing pilot because they can recover any costs quickly upfront and there are few costs on the back end as well.
Even without these shared services, CFOs say they are using data to make better decisions.
When asked how successful they are in using data to make financial decisions, 91 percent said either very or somewhat successful.
"We need to improve our ability to integrate financial and programmatic performance to achieve full benefit," wrote one respondent.
Along with finding efficiencies, CFO respondents to the survey said hiring and retaining, and training their workforces were the next highest priorities. Two of OMB central initiatives — reducing improper payments and disposing of real property — received the lowest average ranking of fifth most important priority.
Budget cuts, not sequestration biggest worry
Many CFOs (46 percent) also said they've started planning for sequestration, mostly by figuring out specific program cuts.
"Our preliminary estimate is that the sequestration will have significant programmatic impacts, but we don't believe it will require personnel cuts or furloughs. However, it is unclear how OMB will administer the cuts to agencies," wrote one respondent.
Another wrote they are considering all options including people, program and acquisition cuts and efficiencies.
Sequestration, however, was not among the CFOs' biggest concerns.
Just over a third said the continuing resolution and a third said the spending cuts coming when Congress finally passes a budget worry them the most.
"Uncertainty is the greatest concern," wrote on respondent.
Agency CFOs feel strain of impending budget cuts
OMB gives agencies four months to figure out shared services
Treasury to process all invoices electronically

Sunday, Aug 15 is the annual Task Force 50 Scale Ship Regatta. It's held at Lake Redman, which is just south of York, PA off I-83. It's a great show, with usually in excess of 100 ships there competing in the navigation and static competitions. If you've never been, you've been missing one of the nicest model boat regattas in the country.
For anyone coming in on Saturday (the Rochester gang always makes the trip, as do some of the NJ guys) there is an infomal SubCommittee get-together and dinner at my place Saturday afternoon / evening.
Let me know if you need any more infomation. Hope to see more SubCommittee members there this year!

Late one Tuesday night, I received a text from the mother of my son's friend. She told me that we needed to talk NOW; would I call her? Two weeks earlier, my 15-year-old son had broken down in tears over the harassment he was receiving at school. What I did not know, but learned from the mother who contacted me, was that my son had come very close to attempting suicide the night before. The actions of friends may indeed have saved my son's life. My husband and I knew "Jake" was hurting inside.Continue Reading

January is National Mentoring Month. Research has shown that mentoring programs can be an effective tool for enhancing the positive development of youth in the foster care system.

The office works on traditional one-on-one relationships, group mentoring, e-mentoring and other innovative approaches to reach teens.Continue Reading

Bullying among young children is not uncommon. When young children–who often differ in physical size, skill level, and family experience–get together, patterns of hurtful behavior often emerge.
Children may be mean to each other by making mean faces, saying threatening things, grabbing objects, pushing others aside, or refusing to play with others. Some young children may engage in actual bullying behaviors by deliberately and repeatedly dominating a vulnerable child by name-calling, physical attacks, and excluding others from playing with them.Continue Reading

Angie's Answers
Bids are NOT done based on a multiplier on top of materials cost to get labor cost. Think of the consequences in the example you gave - by that method using say plain home depot tile made in Honduras might cost $5/SF materials, so by your method $10 labor. Now, same floor, with Carerra marble or Barre Granite at $75-100/SF - so do you want him charging you $150-200/SF labor when it takes almost exactly the same time regardless of material ?
To put it in simple terms, contractors:
1) figure the amount and cost of materials and consumables needed from the plans and specifications, applying a markup (from 15-50%, depending on contractor and how fancy or specialized a job it is).
2) Then they figure the equipment needed and the operating time to be used or elapsed time to be rented or leased - either opperating hour or elapsed time, or combination of both, especially if it consumes fuel
3) They then figure the labor time for the various trades required to do the job, maybe add an efficiency or ease of work multiplier to those hours to fit the job conditions, multiply those hours by the hourly pay rates, then multiply that times the "load" or "Labor Overhead" to account for employment taxes, workman's compensation costs, health plan, etc, etc.
4) Then they add in the cost of any architect or engineer plans or certifications that are needed, government permits and inspections, etc.
5) Then they add in any subcontractor bids, with appropriate contingency amount for each.
6) All those above totals are added up, an appropriate overall contingency added if needed (typically 5-10%, but on remote site jobs I have seen as high as 200%), and (depending on how contractor figures his costs) at least all the "in-house" costs like his equipment, consumables, and labor costs have a percentage overhead and profit added to them - typically about 100-150%. Some contractors use a lower overhead percentage but apply it to the total estimated job cost, not just in-house costs.
This "company overhead" or "general overhead" or "G&A - General and Administrative Overhead" covers the costs of financing and running the company, management and secretarial and general supply and maintenance costs, buildings and equipment yards lease or mortgage cost, working capital cost, insurance, loan interest, general shop equipment payments, profit, etc. Some contractors use a lower overhead and apply it to every cost in the job, some (especially those doing government work so havingto adhere to government accounting rules) apply a "markup percentage" to materials and rental costs and outside subcontract services, and apply G&A overhead only to in-house costs.
That being said, for a general class of work it does generally (on normal jobs) work out that there is a general multiple of labor to materials cost. For instance, yard work and residential tree work is heavy on labor, so it might have a labor to materials ratio of 3:1 or even 5:1. Detail foundation hand excavation and underpinning can run to 5:1 or more. Many types of building construction like plumbing, tile, carpentry, etc. do end up with a very roughly 2:1 or 3:1 ratio of labor to materials cost. At the other extreme, high energy efficiency or hurricane rated glass installation or a fancy full-building computer and communications system or high-end entertainment center might have a labor to materials ratio of 0.25-0.5 because it is designed to go in pretty fast, but the materials cost a lot.
For your case, a hardscaping ratio could run from 0.5:1 or less to as much as 3:1 or more, for installations with very expensive imported stone and fancy woods and a lot of bought decorative items such as statuary, to the opposite labor-intensive landscaping with lots of sidehill terracing and hand-planted flower beds, hand-dug irrigation system trenches, and manual-placed concrete block or railroad tie walls. Each job should be figured on its own merits - using a "rule-of-thumb" is where people commonly get unpleasantly surprised. That is why you typically get 3 bids unless you have a contractor you trust from prior experience and are confident will give you a fair shake regardless of being sole-sourced. Personally, both for my own purposes and professionally in the design and construction business, I have found sole-source to trusted contractors you have experience with is, in the long run, a BIG money and time saver, as well as making it far more likely to finish on schedule and let you sleep at night.
You need a general contractor - prefereably one who specializes in additions, because you have excavation, waterproofing, concrete, concrete cutting, carpentry, door and window, etc trades to coordinate.
The cost will depend a great deal on your topography around the house - if the base of the window will be above ground level at least 6 inches, then could run about $500 for a legal egress window purchase and about $1000-2000 for installation, depending on how deep into the concrete you have to cut.
If the bottom of the window will be below ground level, then to call it a bedroom (which mandates legal sized second egress and usauully at least one window) then you will have two choices - bring it out into a solid watertight concrete storm cellar with collar to keep water out, stairs, and and weather and bug-tight cellar door that is inward-opening, which means a lot of space for stairs and landings top and bottom, or bring it out into an oversized window well at least 36 inches in diameter, and with steps to ground level, with adequate drainage and waterproofing to keep it dry. Either way, sometimes about as easy to put in an outside door as a window, and might raise property value more. Cost from $2-5,000 depending on how deep into concrete wall you have to dig, whether concrete wsall needs reinforcing with steel frame because of the depth of cut, how easy the digging is, and what your water conditions are near the foundation. The last thing you want to do is create an easy water or vermin ingress with your egress.
The cost to install the veneer stone has a wide range do to many factors. It can range from around $9 to $17 per square foot. It depends on the location, the stone being used, job access, skaffolding needs, wall prep and such. I would think you would be on the lower end of the scale. Your job is on a concrete surface so it eliminates one of the biggest problems they are having with this product, wall preperation. This one of the things that separates the high bidders from the low ones. There are million dollars homes being torn down because of improper wall prep. One a wood frame house a backing system that allows drainage is a must or the moisture absorbed by the veneer can rot the walls behind with alarming speed. Some have had makor damage within the first four years. On a concrete wall the veneer needs no such prep at most wire mesh applied if it is an older concrete wall.
Is the wall that the garage is sloped toward and adjacent wall of the home?
If not, it should not be of real concern.
Try to keep the water out of the garage with a gasket on the door.

To avoid negative shopping experience, we at AVADirect highly recommend to verify product availability information before placing your order. The availability information is present on the product pages in form of the following inventory statuses:
IN STOCK - The product is in stock and usually can be shipped within 1-2 business days after the payment is received.
LOW STOCK - The product is in stock but has limited availability, i.e. less than 10 items are available. Please note that we do not reserve ordered quantity until payment is fully processed for an order, therefore we cannot guarantee final allocation of ordered quantity if there is a delay in payment processing, due to high risk that the product may become unavailable at that time. Therefore, we recommend to promptly resolve any payment issues, especially if ordered product has Low Stock status.
SPECIAL ORDER - Special order products are usually shipped directly from manufacturer or distributor, and availability information may not be provided in timely fashion by the vendor. In addition, processing of special order products may take significantly more time (up to 1-2 weeks) due to availability reasons, therefore separate return policy applies to all special order products.
UNKNOWN - Availability of the product cannot be determined by our electronic records, though it does not necessarily mean that the product is not available. In such cases we recommend to contact us to get availability information.
OUT OF STOCK - The product is not available at this time and cannot be shipped in timely fashion.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Product availability information provided on our website is accurate up to one day and in most cases is sufficient to determine actual product availability.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When placing orders for bulk quantities we highly recommend to contact us to get precise availability information before placing your order.

"from AND and NVIDIA"
Phoronix: HTC Is Buying Out S3 Graphics
HTC, one of the popular Taiwan-based mobile phone vendors, is going to be acquiring S3 Graphics from VIA Technologies. For around $300 million USD, HTC will have its hands on S3 Graphics and their intellectual property portfolio...
"from AND and NVIDIA"
I think this is more a defensive move for HTC than a real interest into S3 graphic capabilities. They could use S3 patents to free up from Android leavy.
Yeah, MS 5$ per phone. And Apple possibility to attack them for patents infrigments. Or Nokia... Owning usefull patents make them more air from big corporative bullies.
HTC and Via have the same chairman Cher Wang so I doubt anything will actually change
Afaik that's what M$ is charging for its OS - WP7, not for Android.
Afaik Google pays them (the hw manufacturers or the carriers) a fraction of the advertising revenue from each Android phone - which makes M$'s 5$ tax less of a burden, maybe that even makes for a profit. This could explain why M$'s mobile OSes keep going down in terms of market share and Android keeps rising up, also does this 5$ tax make Android hw manufacturers hate M$ and not want to do business on M$'s software?

That's the "HTC is a retard" tax, not an android levy. MS had nothing, HTC should NOT have bent over.
As for the IP and possibility of a free license... hard to say. HTC has historically been quite hostile towards anything open, and only reluctantly released kernel GPL source after some major community uprising, but even still, they don't distribute their source changes in anything even remotely sensible... i.e. a patch. Instead, what they have is a crazy mix of several different kernel versions with a whole slew of their changes mixed in, and distribute it from their website in a tar file. Normally, you would be able to do a diff against an archive from kernel.org, but that only works if there is a single version that the patch is against... not like their ugly mess.
The only possible light is their new policy (yet to actually be implemented, so we will see how it goes....) of shipping all phones with unlockable bootloaders.
Now if only they were smart enough to tell MS to go eff themselves.......
No, MS sued HTC re Android IP. Stuff that HTC would have won on. HTC stupidly settled for $5 on every Android device they sell.
No... HW makers pay google for "google experience" -- which is basically the inclusion of google market application.Afaik Google pays them (the hw manufacturers or the carriers) a fraction of the advertising revenue from each Android phone - which makes M$'s 5$ tax less of a burden, maybe that even makes for a profit.

Is that no longer the case? Is this just going to be a movie set in the BSG universe (like Razor or something)? Or is the movie testing for a new series like the BSG miniseries did?

Broadway sounds so freakin' cool. Can't wait for Gnome 3.2!
Phoronix: GTK+ 3.2 Squeezes In A Couple More Features
GTK+ 3.2, the first major update since the release of GNOME 3.0 with the overhauled GTK+ 3.0 tool-kit, is coming along nicely in preparation for the September release of GNOME 3.2...
Broadway sounds so freakin' cool. Can't wait for Gnome 3.2!
- thin clientsEh, it's a hack. A pretty cool one, and a good proof of concept for non-X remoting, but I really don't see a lot of practical use for it...
- cloud crap (although i dont like the trend)
- all the web devs waiting to get loose on the desktop
maybe with some hacking itll run on the html backend without any X requirements, that would make headless server administration a bit noob friendlier, if it were easy to setup.
It's not a standard yet! It's "work in progress" stuff!
The dev team should focus on stability, speed and resource usage instead of marketing buzzwords like HTML5!

The Riviera del Gambarogno with its characteristic Ticino villages on the left shore of Lake Locarno (or Lago Maggiore) extends along the lakeside for a stretch of 10 kilometres, from the tip of the lake all the way to the Italian border. But the Gambarogno begins before that, in Contone, at the foot of the Monte Ceneri, and includes parts of the Magadino Plain. Vira with the Church of San Pietro which rises impressively above Lake Locarno is the historic centre of the Gambarogno. An authentic village centre with old houses huddled close together, narrow streets and arcades is a typical feature of Vira. Magadino is the largest place in the Gambarogno.
From Vira there is a road up to the mountain villages of the Alto Gambarogno which offer stunning views of Upper Lake Locarno and the Alps. The bendy mountain road continues over the Neggia Pass - starting point for hikes to the Tamaro (1961 metres above sea level) and Gambarogno (1734 metres above sea level) peaks - to the remote mountain village of Indemini in the immediate vicinity of the Italian border. The Gambarogno with its endless chestnut groves is a popular hiking and biking region boasting a trail network of almost 200 kilometres.
Gambarogno Botanical Gardens are located on the hill road between Piazzogna and Vairano. In the region of 950 types of camellias, 350 types of magnolias, azaleas, peonies and rhododendrons, interspersed with ivy, pine trees, junipers and other, occasionally rare, European and exotic pine trees grow in this 17'000-square-metre area. The flowering magnolias in spring are a particularly colourful sight.
Regular boat services provide transport from the lakeside towns and villages to Locarno, Ascona, the Brissago Islands and other excursion destination on Lake Locarno. The Ticino city triumvirate of Lugano, Locarno and Bellinzona is as quickly accessible from the Gambarogno as the nearby Italian market town of Luino.
- Gambarogno Botanical Gardens - magnificent park with camellias, magnolias and azaleas, designed in 1955 by Otto Eisenhut
- Bolle di Magadino - nature preserve with a unique flora and fauna including an oxbow lake, reed belt and alluvial forest by Lake Locarno
- Brissago Islands - classical excursion to three idyllic islands in Lake Locarno with botanical gardens
- Locarno - famous Ticino location on the opposite side of the lake to the Gambarogno with the Piazza Grande where the Film Festival takes place
- Ascona - former fishing village in a wonderful location by the lake and boasting a popular lakeside promenade.
Top Events
- Magadino International Organ Festival - marvellous organ music focussing on Johann Sebastian Bach (July)
- International open-air art exhibition - sculptures, music, paintings etc. out in the open since the sixties. (irregular)

LOS ANGELES — There's something of the old married couple about Gwyneth Paltrow and Robert Downey Jr., though they're married to other people.
They've known each other for 20 years, through bad times (his) and good (hers all along and now his, too). They're cozy and comfy sitting down together for an interview, shifting easily between talking about their Marvel Studios superhero sequel "Iron Man 3," chatting up each other's career and family and trading small talk about their little ailments as Downey rummages through a case of nostrums he travels with.
"I think I picked up a little bacteria on the road," Downey says of his trips promoting the film worldwide ahead of its U.S. debut this week. "No big deal."
"In what part of your body?" Paltrow asks.
"Tum-tum," Downey replies.
"I got really sick from the plane from England," Paltrow says. "Just terrible stomach problems."
"Travel's tough when you're not a kid anymore," Downey adds. "You've got to take it really seriously."
Both are taking everything seriously now, from work to family to lifestyle. Downey and Paltrow are in enviable places among their fortysomething Hollywood peers.
At 48, he's the great reclamation project of show business, rebounding from a fitful early career overshadowed by drug abuse and prison to become arguably the hottest leading man on the planet. "Iron Man 3" just opened to a whopping $195 million overseas, surpassing last year's international debut of Marvel's "The Avengers," in which he also had the leading role.
At 40, Paltrow's diversified into a super-hyphenate. While slowing down on acting to raise her two children with her husband, Coldplay singer Chris Martin, Paltrow has just published her second cookbook, runs the lifestyles Web site Goop.com and is a business partner with fitness trainer Tracy Anderson. Paltrow also managed to book-end her Academy Award for "Shakespeare in Love" with an Emmy win for her guest spots on "Glee."
Paltrow has plenty of detractors, though. Critics questioned her designation by People magazine as the world's most-beautiful woman, which came days after Star magazine named her the most-hated celebrity.
Downey and Paltrow are following "Iron Man 3" with smaller dramas, Paltrow starring opposite Antonio Banderas in the Pablo Picasso tale "33 Dias," Downey joining Robert Duvall for the father-son story "The Judge." He also has plans for a third entry in his other franchise, "Sherlock Holmes," though the future of "Iron Man," Downey's billionaire genius Tony Stark and Paltrow's Gal-Friday-turned-girlfriend-and-CEO Pepper Potts are uncertain.
"Iron Man 3" hints that Tony might hang up his metal suits to focus on life with Pepper. Downey won't tip his hand on the prospects of future solo entries or whether he'll return for the upcoming "The Avengers" sequel. After so many years on the outs in Hollywood, though, Downey's gotten used to the blockbuster life.
"Kind of like Tony's obsession with the suit, this genre of movie, this and the 'Sherlock' stuff, it's addictive," Downey says. "Because they're big movies. Interesting people seem to be drawn to them in recent years. You get really cool directors, people really running wild with their imagination."
Paltrow eagerly says she would come back for more "Iron Man." Especially now that she's getting into the thick of things.
In "Iron Man 3," Pepper graduates from glorified personal assistant to running Tony's empire, and Paltrow even gets to put on the Iron Man suit and mix it up in the action scenes.
"I seriously question all my career choices up to that point. It's like, what have I been doing in these highbrow frigging corset things? This is so much more fun," Paltrow says.

Arab Community
Immigrants from the Middle East began arriving in Cleveland as early as 1895, most escaping the turmoil in the region that led up to World War I. Many early Arab settlers came from the region bordering the eastern Mediterranean Sea, including modern-day Syria and Lebanon. These immigrants settled around Bolivar Avenue in downtown Cleveland and in Cleveland's Tremont neighborhood.
A second wave of Arab immigrants arrived in Cleveland after the founding of Israel in 1948, including mostly displaced Palestinians.
Today, the city's Arab heritage can be seen in the markets around the West Side Market and in the churches, especially St. Maron's on Carnegie and St. George Antiochian Orthodox Chruch (pictured) in Tremont.
Almadina Imports, (11550 Lorain Ave., Cleveland, Ohio, 216.671.4661) stocks all things Middle Eastern, from pomegranate juice to olives to freshly baked pastries. There are grains, breads, meats (slaughtered according to Islamic guidelines), and a large variety of spices and nuts.

In the fame-obsessed world of Los Angeles, a group of teenagers take us on a thrilling and disturbing crime-spree in the Hollywood hills. Based on true events, the group, who were fixated on the glamorous life, tracked their celebrity targets online, and stole more than 3 million in luxury goods from their homes. Their victims included Paris Hilton, Orlando Bloom, and Rachel Bilson, and the gang became known in the media as "The Bling Ring."
Sorry, no theaters are available within -1 miles of zip code RG6 2AH that are playing the movie "The Bling Ring" on Wednesday, May 06.Please try:- extending your search range, or - entering a new zip code, or- choosing another date.If after trying different options and your movie still does not appear with showtimes, your movie may not be playing nearby for the options you chose.
Sofia Coppola's latest film, The Bling Ring, brings the true story of a gang of young, celebrity-obsessed thieves, as chronicled in Nancy Jo Sales' 2010 Vanity Fair article "The Suspects Wore Louboutins," to the big screen. In the movie, we watch as Rebecca (Katie Chang) leads a group of friends in a series of celebrity home invasions, burglarizing the likes of Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Rachel Bilson, and Orlando Bloom (among others).
The group's forays are motivated by a misplaced feeling of entitlement and a profound hunger for fame, making the entire story — and now Coppola's not-quite-fictionalized portrayal of events — somewhat prophetic. Before the final credits roll, both real and imagined Bling Rings achieve the very fame they so coveted.
While visions of Emma Watson (who plays teenaged thief Nicki), with her perfectly painted face and shiny brunette extensions, may dominate trailer time and promotional materials, it is in fact a boy — Marc, played by Israel Broussard — at the center of all the Bling Ring's drama. We see the formation of the crew and its exploits through the soft, doe-brown eyes of Marc, a self-conscious outsider who believes Rebecca to be, as he says (and the real Bling Ring "rat" Nick Prugo states in Sales' article), "the first person I felt was, like, my best friend." Portrayed by relative newcomer Broussard, Marc is a sympathetic — if misguided — lens to the inner-workings of the Bling Ring.
From Marc's vantage point, we watch Rebecca, Nicki, Sam (Taissa Farmiga), and Chloe (Claire Julien), "go shopping" in celebrity home after celebrity home. We watch as they try on Hervé Leger dresses and too-big Jimmy Choos. As they brandish about Brian Austin Green's pistol. As they snort cocaine off of compact mirrors while they blast Rick Ross from their car speakers. As they go clubbing… and clubbing again… and again. As they drink iced lattes. For Marc and the ladies, this is the life. But from an outsider's point of view, it's monotonous. And as a film, it's an aimless spiral of designers and drugs that borders on boring in its redundancy.
But The Bling Ring is not without its high points. It is speckled with scene-stealing performances, among them Broussard, Watson, and Leslie Mann as Nicki's Juicy sweatsuit-wearing, The Secret-loving mother; Julien is charming and hilarious as the degenerate Chloe. In the film's third act, however, Watson decides to up the ante and hijack the entire movie.
Marc is left in the shadows while Nicki, with her inadvertently hilarious prosthelytizing, steals the spotlight. While I have to believe that this happens in large part because Nicki's real life model, Alexis Neiers, captured the public's attention in 2010 with her reality show Pretty Wild (and that notorious "disappointed" phone call to Sales), it's jarring to suddenly leave Marc's narrative behind and follow Nicki through to the film's end.
But with Marc suddenly gone from the picture, the viewers have lost their anchor and the film suffers for it. He was the little substance we had to cling to in this nauseating roller-coaster ride of entitlement and excess. Without him, we can't help but feel a bit abandoned. Marc's disappearance personifies another major fault with the film, which is that Coppola fails to see things through — not on a plot-level, but thematically. She introduces her viewers to the world of celebrity obsession, but we are never really entranced by it. Repulsed rather than compelled by the characters, the audience is unable to relate to the Bling Ring members and therefore fails to see its own celebrity infatuation reflected in the characters' deeds. While this film had the opportunity to enlighten viewers to our own grotesque obsession with fame, we are instead left only denegrating the film's antiheros for theirs.

To create GREY GOOSE vodka, François Thibault maintains an unrivalled level of craftsmanship, using only the very finest ingredients. Its signature smoothness and distinct character are the result of an extraordinary passion for spirit making and an unparalleled commitment to the highest possible quality.
Each batch of Grey Goose® vodka begins with soft winter wheat grown on farms in and around the fertile Picardy region of northern France. GREY GOOSE Maître de Chai François Thibault insists on using only the highest-grade wheat—the same wheat used in the finest French breads and pastries.
After the wheat grain is fermented and distilled into a high-proof spirit, it travels south to Gensac-La-Pallue, in the Cognac Arrondissement (Region), France, where it is blended with the remarkably pristine spring water found there.
Clear, fresh with an elegant floral aroma accented by a subtle citrus note.
Initially soft with a gentle sweetness that gradually envelops the mouth—smooth and rounded texture with a hint of almond.
Fresh and bright throughout with a long, satisfying finish.
The perfect cocktail begins with the extraordinary character of GREY GOOSE® vodka. Whether enjoyed by itself or mixed with fresh ingredients, the smooth, satisfying taste of GREY GOOSE elevates even the simplest ingredients.
Grey Goose strives to get the very best out of the very best ingredients and lets the quality speak for itself.

Seven ads per article. That's cool, I guess.
Phoronix: Soliciting Feedback On The New Phoronix Design
As mentioned last month on Phoronix, a major revision to Phoronix.com is in-development. Prior to the launch later this month, your feedback on the latest concepts are appreciated...
Seven ads per article. That's cool, I guess.
I prefer my menues on the other side (the left one).
Change for the sake of change.
I fail to see the benefits of this...
As long as they don't get in the way, I don't care about that.
I am curious, Michael are the page widths set to 100% all the way around? Like will left align text be basically at the very right edge of my screen or is it more like the current design where things are more centered? Personally I'm a fan of centered content, see:
*) http://arstechnica.com/
*) http://www.h-online.com/
*) https://news.google.com/
*) http://planetkde.org/
Its less eye movement and just looks more concise.
Other feedback: Article title and the "4 July, 2013 Gaming blah blah Written by Michael Larabel" How does it look if you center it above the article text instead of left aligned?
I like that you're going for minimalism and making the content be front and centered, thats great, but personally I don't think its quite there just yet.
I really didn't like the 100% width, it's really hard to read.
And the design looks pretty amateur and unorganized, just get flat Bootstrap and change the colors.
BTW, will the the new design properly support Phoronix "Premium"?!
Too many ads.
Too many graphical ads (text-based are less intrusive).
Site is too wide, it makes the text difficult to read.
Site lacks article images.
All worlds in header capitalized is annoying.
This looks clean and not hopelessly dated: http://www.phoronix.com/image-viewer...x_new_site_lrg
The poster who said "change for the sake of change" I'm guessing isn't into web design - phoronix looks awkward and extremely dated. I'm personally gonna miss the 90s throwback though
I would appreciate if the page covered 100% of the browser window width.
If somebody finds wide text hard to read - well, they can always make the window narrower. I prefer to see all the contents I can see without having to scroll the page - obviously, as long as the layout isn't too cluttered and guides the eye with pleasing graphics design.
BTW, I turned off AdBlock on Phoronix after reading a request from the phoronix author that the readers should do so and the site looks really ugly with ads. I guess all sites would look ugly with ads. They are so annoying! But yeah, they pay for the sites' existence. It would be great if AdBlock had an option to download the ads (so that advertisers are happy) but not annoy me with them (so that I am happy, too). Hell, I should just suggest this to the author of AdBlock.
I too think I prefer the old layout, particularly the banner. I think the additional width is nicer, but I don't think the width should be the span of the whole page.

I always take the dough out and let it sit for 2-1/2 to 3 hours, bringing it up to room temperature. During this time the dough rises and I always thought that this was necessary to further develop the dough. Not being anything close to an expert, am I wrong in this assumption?
It depends upon the profile of your dough. If you are making a same day dough, you would need to let it rise after a cold rest. If you are doing a 48 hour cold dough, there is no need for additional rise.

21.04.2013 /
Red Bull KTM Factory Racing's Jeffrey Herlings turned on the heat on the Sevlievo circuit in Bulgaria on Sunday to take two very dominant wins in the MX2 Grand Prix.
It was the Jeffrey Herlings first career GP win at this traditional and very popular circuit and leaves him unbeaten in 2013 with five GP wins from 10 race victories! Teammate Jordi Tixier put up a good battle, especially in the first race where he took the holeshot and held off Herlings' hard attacks until lap seven of the race. Italy's Alexander Lupino was third and Spain's Jose Butron, also riding a KTM was fourth overall.
In reality it was an event that was dominated by the two KTM riders, one Dutch and one French and while it was undoubtedly Herlings day, it is clear that Tixier is gaining in confidence in the face of fierce competition from his teammate. Sunday's performance, which saw Herlings win his races by margins of 25 and 40 seconds respectively, also underlined that the Dutch teenager, known to be the world's best sand rider, is equally terrifying on a hard pack circuit. Herlings perfect scorecard sees him with 250 points and an impressive 65-point lead over teammate Tixier in second place. Herlings and Tixier both ride the KTM 250 SX-F.
Cairoli recovers well for race win in second moto; overall second in MX1 GRand Prix
Meanwhile in MX1, Bulgaria is a circuit that has not been on Tony Cairoli's top five list. The MX1 championship leader and current world champion last won here in 2007 in MX2. He again had a tough start to his day finishing in fourth place in the opening moto, which was a clear victory for French rider Gautier Paulin. This left him a lot to do in the second moto and Cairoli did not disappoint. After having switched to his favorite luminous 'Valentino Rossi' yellow boots and helmet, the Italian rider grabbed the holeshot but then slipped back into second after being passed by Paulin on lap one. Then eight minutes into the race he took control, grabbed back the lead and stayed firmly in front until the checkered flag. At the end of the day, Cairoli picked up enough points to take the second podium spot and further advance his lead in the championship standings.
Factory teammate Ken de Dycker also had his share of difficulties on the track this weekend. He finished only ninth in the first moto but got back in the action in the second moto and after some hard charging, managed to finish fifth to claim overall seventh in the GP. He now slips to fourth in the competition standings, trailing third placed Clement Desalle by six points and the leader Cairoli by 52 points. Cairoli has a 40-point margin over second places Paulin. Cairoli contests the 450 class MX1 on the light and nimble KTM 350 SX-F while De Dycker rides the bigger KTM 450 SX-F bike.
Jeffrey "The Bullet" Herlings: "So far so good! Its never easy, I've been making some mistakes but luckily they didn't happen on a Sunday so far. I haven't lost a moto yet and I keep on charging. For the moment the only one who can stop the bullet is the bullet himself."
Jordi Tixier: "Sure I enjoyed that, I got a good start and I tried to push to stay in front of Jeffrey. It's my goal to be at the maximum and in the front. Jeffrey is a pretty good rider – the world champion in 2012. Now I just want to give my best all the time and if I can stay in front of him for 10 laps the next time, i will. I just want to learn from him because it is good for me and we'll see what happens."
Tony Cairoli: "I have two GP's where I didn't win. My goal was always to be on the top spot but hopefully I will be able to do my best in the next GP and things will go better for me."
Ken de Dycker: "I mostly don't like the track because its really fast an, easy, so you need a good start and even then it's still hard .. So it was a struggle the whole weekend."
It was the 10th anniversary of GPs held at this Bulgarian circuit set in rolling hills that provide great viewing for spectators, who came out in force to watch the races.
The next round is on May 5, 2013 in Agueda Portugal, a typical hard pack track.

Yeah I didn't mean I'd just seen it in a single instance, I meant it as in 1K for one fight, as opposed to the aforementioned £600 for Allen's two fights in a weekend. Totally unjustified and not worth the money in my humble opinion, but I'm not a promoter.
This is another problem, you more often than not get paid more for being canon fodder than you do for being a legit pro that trains and takes the game seriously!
If your reasoning behind fighting is financial than I guess the promoters are to blame for paying these purses.
If Allen and Persil (or even myself) were offered £10 then I am guessing they wouldn't do it.
Dan 'Vybz' Welsh 63Kg Pro 11-25-0 email@example.com
Wow cant believe they pay them that much now we are really getting somewhere. Ok next question why do legit pros get sometimes between 200 - 500 and guys like lee cage and the rest of the Tap out crew get paid silly figures lol. In my opinion its just as bad as match fixing getting these boys to fight plus the wage they get do the maths.
I get what you're saying and it's sadly very - true some decent money can be made. BUT that's all they you can ever expect to make. There's a glass ceiling there. With a legit progression in your career, there could be bigger money opprtunities out there (albeit very rarely, and pretty unlikely).
As you say though, whilst it's worth someone's while to be a proverbial lamb to the slaughter, then they'll still do it. Worse are the ones who come with no intention at all of fighting and still pick up a decent wage.
They don't (or rarely) get "silly figures", but as I said above it's enough. A week's wage of hard graft for most people, 300-500 quid.
myself and danny both paid our weddings by taking fights against anyone on any show. I made decent money fighting Darren Towler on a few days notice. Tho i made more by fighting K1 and Boxing down south, and had some wars with big name unlincensed lads that the fans loved. Im pretty sure my job was to loose those fights, some of which i did. If taken down in mma by a decent pro im gonna loose, but if they stand ill have a bang, as will danny. Promotors like that as we come to fight, look half decent but when put on my back the hometown lad is probably gonna tap me out and the many fans go home happy, as does the promotor.
Bob Sapp makes a great living by doing it, he admits he taps when in danger as hes probably fighting a few weeks later for £££££ and isnt going to risk loosing that income.
How could anyone ever book you again after that post, where you clearly implied you have taken dives for cash.
Bob Sapp makes money doing it because he is a bona fide star who fought THE BEST IN THE WORLD in his day. You are a nobody who embarasses himself week in week out

The Secrets to Success in a Michigan Criminal, DUI or Driver's License Restoration Case
On this blog, and on my website, I put up as much explanatory information as I can about criminal, DUI and driver's license restoration cases. I have tried, within the body of my writings, to pull back the curtain on and explain how Michigan driver's license restoration and DUI cases are (or should be) handled, as well as the various considerations important to handling a criminal charge in my capacity as a Michigan criminal lawyer. I can say with confidence that if you are looking around for a lawyer for to handle a criminal, driver's license restoration or DUI case, it is likely that some of those with whom you've had contact with have read and learned something from this blog. One lawyer I know admitted to me that when he needs something to write about, he comes here, to my blog, and "cannibalizes" something I've put up. I consoled myself with the old adage that "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." I've even been asked why I am so "generous" with the information I put out.
In this article, I want to point out that for as much information I publish, there are certain essential strategies that, while not "secret," really defy clear explanation. In addition, there are just certain things I do that are "secret" enough for me to have to hold back and not write about. KFC became famous for its fried chicken with 21 secret ingredients. When curious minds tried to figure out the recipe, some claimed that they couldn't find 21 ingredients, no matter how hard they looked. KFC was amused by the attempt and essentially said, "Well, that's part of the secret." I may be generous with the information I publish, but I don't give away enough for anyone to copy my recipe, nor do I give away the secrets of the magic trick, either.
Certain legal abilities are simply instinctive. How do I explain this? When I walk into a conference room and find the prosecutor to already be agitated, usually by some other lawyer, I just "know" that it's probably not the best time to try and negotiate a really sweet deal for my client. Sensing that is instinctive, but I don't just blurt out something like, "Hey, you look all frazzled, so I think I might do better with you if I come back later." A graceful exit with a plan to return later requires a keen and rather spontaneous sense of diplomacy.
Other legal skills may spring from within, but they are honed by years of experience. A younger lawyer may make the mistake of defending a client to the point of arguing with the Judge. While the lawyer may not think he or she is arguing with the court, all that matters is that the Judge does. Instead of arguing, I have to persuade. In many cases, I have to educate the Judge, and be able to back up what I say. This is why, for example, as a seasoned lawyer with (at that time), over 20 years of experience, I began the formal study of addiction issues at the post-graduate, University level. Whatever else, a lawyer may succeed in persuading the court about something, but he or she is unlikely to ever win an argument with the Judge (as opposed to an argument with the lawyer on the other side).

A student who has been on probation is subject to academic dismissal if the student has been on either academic probation or on progress probation or on both academic and progress probation for more than four consecutive semesters. If students are academically dismissed, a notation of "Academic Dismissal" will be placed on the permanent academic record. Consecutive semester's means four semesters in a row of the students attendance at City College. Summer sessions are not counted as regular semesters when semesters are being counted for academic dismissal.
Appeal of Academic Dismissal and Request for Reinstatement
Students may appeal academic dismissal and petition and petition to be reinstated so they may continue their enrollment. Such petitions will be considered in cases of verified unusual circumstances. Students may request information or a Petition to Appeal Academic Dismissal and Request Reinstatement from the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs & Wellness. If students are reinstated, their reinstatement will be conditional based upon a review of the academic record at the end of each semester. Readmitted students will be subject to the continued requirements of the academic probation and academic dismissal regulation.
