Loc: London, UK Cheap airplane flights draw much complaint;
They'd test the sangfroid of a saint.
The conduct is rowdy,
The crew girls are dowdy,
And adequate legroom there ain't.

Loc: Spam Factory Dare to invite a healthy inversion,
Supplanting love for hate or pervsion,
And let goodness un-mask us
Like Paul in Damascus
And behold the world after conversion.

Loc: Lower Aberdeen, Mississippi ...but don't mess with Mister In-between.
Good one, Alex.
But is it not better to accentuate objective reality.
Now our Nation knows nought but inversion
Now hate is love and love is subversion
Our Atheists invite
Our Christians to fight
Freedom turned left for a four year excursion

Loc: London, UK The codeword 'Gestalt' (meaning 'form')
Was used for a time as the norm
By a group of free-thinkers
And liberal drinkers
Whose homes the Gestapo would storm.

Loc: Spam Factory My dear, 'radium' does rhyme with 'stadium'
And they both rhyme quite well with 'palladium'
But I'm afraid I must clear
Up the stale atmosphere
And point out that they slant rhyme with 'atrium'

Loc: Lower Aberdeen, Mississippi Lizzie Borden took an ax and gave her father forty whacks
When she saw what she had done she gave her mother forty-one
Mister Borden you had a lovely daughter
You shoulda treated her better, yes you oughter
She is not dimwitted
What she is, is acquitted
Liz stole your severed head; no head no manslaughter

and is that a point of law
"no head no manslaughter" charge?

It's Alex Williams fault, Candy.
"Daughter" brought to mind a silly English song of the sixties, "Misses Brown you've got a lovely daughter" coupled with a stupid street chant...
"For a dollar I'll holler
for a half I'll laugh,
and for a quarter
I'll do what I oughter".
No, "no head no manslaughter" is not a point of law. In fact the heads of Andrew Jackson Borden and his wife were cut off during an autopsy because of evidence that the entire family was poisoned before the murdering. After the trial the two heads came up missing and have never been found.

Translator Daniel Hahn, one of the judges for this year's International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award, whose shortlist was revealed today, wonders why it's one of very few awards that allows the submission of fiction in translation.
As the first of new series of interviews with translators, in partnership with literature and human rights organisation English PEN, we present an interview with Sam Garrett, whose latest translation from Dutch is Tommy Wieringa's These Are the Names.
Suzanne Dean, Creative Director at Random House, reveals how she devised the cover for Robert Douglas-Fairhurst's new account of the creation of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its eccentric author, Lewis Carroll.

Adorable, convenient wallet
I love this wallet style and size. It holds all my cards and my iphone5 in one place, even have a place for me to hook on my keys if i want to. The material wears out fast but that's just because I use this wallet everyday. Definitely affordable!
The shipping takes too long and almost not worth the cost though. I ordered something else from another website and it shipped to me in half the time of Thelimited.com

Cute and Small
Definitely does not fit an iphone or android. However, it is the perfect little wallet wristlet. It's great for trips where you don't need to bring much but the basics. I loved that there were multiple colors to choose from. My personal favorite is the colorblock orange and tan.

Great for the basics
The majority of the time, I'm a big statement handbag kind of girl. I tend to carry a lot and I just like the overall look of a larger bag to a smaller one. However, there is the rare occassion when I want something small to just carry some money, my debit card and my iPhone. This little wallet is perfect for those times because it does just that. It holds the essentials and easily holds my iPhone 4s (which is already in a case). If I could make one small change, I would make this slightly thicker so I could carry a lipgloss too but that's not a huge detractor. Great for the basics and cute too, this is definitely a winner in my book.
February 22, 2013
Great for a night out, short trip to the store.
This little wristlet is perfect for a night out when you don't want to worry about carrying a large purse or a clutch. The phone slot fits my iPhone 4 perfectly, but anything larger in size or thickness probably won't fit. I also use this for my short trips to the market when I only need to carry the necessities.

Beautiful Wallet....but, Only Works with an IPHONE
This wallet is cute and I love all of the slots. But I have the Samsung galaxy S3, which is too tall to fit in the slot by about 1/4 to 1/2 an inch.
Please Please Please make this wallet designed to fit the Galaxy S3!
February 9, 2013
Only if you have an iPhone
The styling and quality of construction is great, but the cell phone pocket is pointless if you have anything but an iPhone, and if you have a case on your phone don't even think about trying to use the cell pocket on this. I would return this if I could, but I got it as a gift. :(
February 7, 2013
Great wristlet but only if you have an iPhone
I love the utility of wristlets and ordered it in leopard print. However, upon arrival I discovered there is very little extra room and no give at all, so there was no chance my somewhat larger GS3 was going to fit, and even though I loved the bag it's going to have to be returned. The bag is great, it just has to be for an iPhone user so I would recommend it to them.
January 26, 2013
Only If You Have An IPhone
great range of designs/colors, phone pocket is a great feature but hate that it's designed only for iphones. I ended up returning it because the pocket was too small for my smartphone. Defintiely recommend this product if you have an iphone but not if you have anything else.

Brookhaven National Laboratory
You don't need a time machine to marvel at the hot broth of quarks and gluons that made up all matter a microsecond after the Big Bang. You just need a ticket on the Long Island Railroad. Through massive feats of engineering, Brookhaven National Laboratory has devised a recipe for cooking up tiny ephemeral batches of this quark-gluon soup, a fluid which physicists Paul Sorensen say is the most "perfect" fluid ever discovered.
If you want to know how the universe works, part of the answer lies in understanding the building blocks of matter—before they became inextricably bound within the protons, neutrons, and atoms that make up everything visible in our universe today.
During the 496th Brookhaven Lecture, Lijuan Ruan explained how she uses electron-positron tomography from quark-antiquark annihilations to study chiral symmetry, a characteristic that "broke" to form 99 percent of the visible mass in the universe and is thought to be restored during ion collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider.
During the 2014 Sambamurti Lecture, physicist Anne Sickles discussed how correlations between particles created during collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) are being used to determine the properties of matter itself. She also explained how physicists, including those using the PHENIX detector at RHIC, are exploring the geometry of the nuclei's impact zones to determine just how small quark-gluon plasma can be.
During the 493rd Brookhaven Lecture, Anne Sickles discussed how physicists determine what happens before, during, and after individual particle collisions among billions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). She then explained how collisions at RHIC enable physicists to probe deeper into the mysteries of quark-gluon plasma and the strong force.
During the 490th Brookhaven Lecture, Björn Schenke discussed theory that details the shape and structure of heavy ion collisions. He also explained how this theory and data from experiments at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and the Large Hadron Collider are being used to determine properties of quark-gluon plasma.
Physicists and engineers in Brookhaven National Laboratory's Superconducting Magnet Division are in the final stages of assembling "replacement" magnets for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Europe's CERN laboratory.
Particle physicists dedicate their lives to understanding the fundamental nature of energy, matter, space and time. Why do they do it? Symmetry magazine asked some of them to explain: Why does particle physics matter?
Visit PHENIX and STAR, two detector experiments bigger than a house. Featured Interviews: Nora Detweiler, Brant Johnson, Paul Sorensen, Guillaume Robert-Demolaize, and Gene Van Buren.
In the 488th Brookhaven Lecture, Luo discusses some collider fundamentals. He then introduces the electron lens system he helped develop at Brookhaven, explaining how it could help double the collision rate at RHIC and prepare the machine for future endeavors.
A discussion of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider by the Associate Laboratory Director for Nuclear and Particle Physics Berndt Mueller.
In this 481st Brookhaven Lecture, Vladimir Litvinenko describes the cutting-edge developments accelerator physicists are planning along the path to new, exciting science at RHIC. He explains new techniques, including coherent electron cooling, generating a high-current, polarized electron beam, and ways of suppressing a myriad of potential instabilities.
Physicist Paul Sorensen describes discoveries made at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), a particle accelerator at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory. At RHIC, scientists from around the world study what the universe may have looked like in the first microseconds after its birth, helping us to understand more about why the physical world works the way it does -- from the smallest particles to the largest stars.
On December 5, 2011, the PHENIX collaboration celebrated its 20th anniversary at a symposium, which began with some speakers' recollections of early challenges and struggles in getting PHENIX approved, designed, and built. The speakers continued their talks with recounts of the many successes that occurred during the first 11 years of operations at RHIC, and ended with predictions of continued success for both RHIC and PHENIX in the next decade.
Physicist Michiko Minty explains how bunches of particles traveling in opposite directions in each of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider's (RHIC) two superconducting rings are guided, focused, and accelerated to nearly the speed of light and then made to collide. She describes how to ensure the highest possible collision rates by establishing head-on collisions between the two-foot-long bunches which, at the interaction points, are a width comparable to a human hair.
Modern, compact ion injector will feed new kinds of particles to RHIC and NSRL.
The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC, http://www.bnl.gov/rhic ) is a 2.4-mile-circumference particle accelerator/collider that has been operating at Brookhaven Lab since 2000, delivering collisions of heavy ions, protons, and other particles to an international team of physicists investigating the basic structure and fundamental forces of matter. In 2005, RHIC physicists announced that the matter created in RHICs most energetic collisions behaves like a nearly perfect liquid in that it has extraordinarily low viscosity, or resistance to flow. Since then, the scientists have been taking a closer look at this remarkable form of matter, which last existed some 13 billion years ago, a mere fraction of a second after the Big Bang. Scientists have revelaed new findings, including the first measurement of temperature very early in the collision events, and their implications for the nature of this early-universe matter.
A celebration of the contribution that Renaissance Technologies, Inc., made to the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, during which the entire Lab community participated in a series of RHIC Renaissance events, beginning with the Roads to Discovery ceremony, followed by a 1.8-mile 'Collide the Ions' walk for autism research around the newly re-dedicated RHIC Ring Road. The days activities also include talks preceding and following the walk.
'Collide the Ions' walkers dressed in blue and yellow T-shirts walked around Brookhaven Lab's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider ring road in opposite directions. Halfway around the ring, the walkers symbolically "collided."
Physicist Peter Steinberg explains the nature of the quark gluon plasma (QGP), a new state of matter produced at Brookhaven Lab's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC).
Physicist Peter Steinberg explains what happens when atomic nucleii travelling at close to the speed of light smash together in Brookhaven Lab's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC).
Physicist Peter Steinberg explains that fundamental particles like protons are themselves made up of still smaller particles called quarks. He discusses how new particles are produced when quarks are liberated from protons...a process that can be observed in Brookhaven Lab's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC).
An animation that follows polarized protons as they travel through the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) accelerator complex to the experiments. The arrows indicate the direction of each proton's spin. The animation concludes with a fly-by of the RHIC experiments running during the spin program.
Physicist Tim Hallman discusses the properties of the "perfect" liquid and plans for luminosity and detector upgrades to the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider.
Brookhaven National Lab has successfully developed a new pre-injector system, called the Electron Beam Ion Source, for the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and NASA Space Radiation Laboratory science programs. The first of several planned improvements to the RHIC facility, EBIS will help transform RHIC into the Quantum Chromo Dynamics Lab that will enable the study of QCD in more detail.
To investigate a new form of matter not seen since the Big Bang, scientists are using a new experimental probe: collisions between two beams of copper ions. The use of intermediate size nuclei is expected to result in intermediate energy density - not as high as in earlier runs colliding two beams of gold ions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), but more than was produced by colliding a beam of gold ions with much lighter deuterons.
Physicists working at the Brookhaven National Lab's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) are exploring the puzzle of proton spin as they begin taking data during the 2009 RHIC run. For the first time, RHIC is running at a record energy of 500 giga-electron volts (GeV) per collision, more than double the previous runs in which polarized proton beams collided at 200 GeV. Narrarated by RHIC run coordinator Mei Bai.
Evidence to date suggests that gold-gold collisions the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven are indeed creating a new state of hot, dense matter, but one quite different and even more remarkable than had been predicted. Instead of behaving like a gas of free quarks and gluons, as was expected, the matter created in RHIC's heavy ion collisions appears to be more like a "perfect" liquid.
A guided tour of Brookhaven's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) conducted by past Laboratory Director John Marburger. RHIC is a world-class scientific research facility that began operation in 2000, following 10 years of development and construction. Hundreds of physicists from around the world use RHIC to study what the universe may have looked like in the first few moments after its creation. RHIC drives two intersecting beams of gold ions head-on, in a subatomic collision. What physicists learn from these collisions may help us understand more about why the physical world works the way it does, from the smallest subatomic particles, to the largest stars.
Imagining the scale of the waves on the electromagnetic spectrum can be tough — sea creatures on this new infographic lend a hand (or a fin, flipper, tentacle) to help illuminate the power of light.

Gallery: SPURSE & the BMW Guggenheim Lab Explore NY's Most Astonishing ...
Inhabitat's experience to the Meadowlands was more then just covering another event. We did the usual - took pictures, scribbled notes, but we also had the opportunity to be part of a conversation about problems in our own city on a platform that went beyond the computer screen.
At the start of our adventure, Inhabitat and several other attendees gathered at the LAB in the East Village, and after two subway rides and a quick trip on the path train to New Jersey, we finally arrived at our destination. Standing on the shore of the Hackensack, we were greeted by Riverkeepers' Captain Bill Sheehan and Hugh Carola and we were then boarded onto a set of pontoon boats to embark on the second part of our journey.
Officially referred to as the New Jersey Meadowlands District, this 32-square-mile area is governed not by the sate of New Jersey, but instead by the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission. As we trolled down the river we learned the history behind this urban waterway, its harrowing destruction and its inspiring rebirth. Our experience on Friday left us with at lot to consider, and now that we've been able to reflect on our expedition, we can't help but wonder: Could this small pocket of earth be a micro-model with solutions for repairing our planet for the future?
History of the Hackensack and the Meadowlands
"If you look at how the natural landscape of America has been altered and changed since colonial times, you'll agree that it's a near-miracle that any habitats remain in the Metro area. But if you take the time to explore places like the real Meadowlands, Jamaica Bay, the Rockaways or the head of Long Island Sound you will see that nature not only survives – it thrives."
- Hugh Carola Haskensack Riverkeeper
Starting in the 1600s when European settlers first gave the river a name – followed by logging, then ditching, diking and draining – the Meadowlands that once stretched over 32 square miles encompassing nearly 25,000 acres of wetlands and waterways, was reduced to only a third of its former size. By the late 19th century the Industrial Revolution was in full swing and factories from Hackensack to Newark bay were spewing untold gallons of untreated waste into the river, while raw sewage and refuse of all kinds were being dumped in and around the waterways.
This toxic combination left hotspots of chromium, PCBs, mercury and other contaminants throughout the river's ecosystem. The invasive and unnatural change in the river's chemistry wiped out almost all of the area's plant and animal life, and by the 1940s the common reed – Phragmites communis – was one of the only plant species that remained. It was around this time people also started using the area as a regional garbage dump. Garbage trucks from scores of municipalities, including the Erie Railroad hopper cars, were filled with trash and unloaded onto the wetlands. We can presently count 34 historic dump sites. For some sites, fires were known to spontaneously combust, while others burned underground for years.

About this font family
Futura is the fully developed prototype of the twentieth century Geometric Sanserif.
The form is ancient, Greek capitals being inscribed by the Cretans twenty-five hundred years ago at the time of Pythagoras in the Gortyn Code, by the Imperial Romans, notably in the tomb of the Scipios, by classical revival architects in eighteenth century London, which formed the basis for Caslon's first sanserif typeface in 1817. Some aspects of the Geometric sanserif survived in the flood of Gothics that followed, particularly in the work of Vincent Figgins. More…

text: 123 min | R Based on true stories from the era, DRIFT tells the story of two brothers at the genesis of the modern surf industry. Determined to escape a life of factory work and petty crime, the brothers engineer custom–made wetsuits and revolutionary new shorter surfboards in their back yard. Their fledgling business generates a powerful buzz amongst the hardcore local surfers, but the brothers' progressive ideas are soon at odds with their conservative town on the rugged Australia coast. Struggling to stay afloat, they stumble upon the worldwide multi–billion dollar cultural movement we know today.

The dish on Long Island's restaurant and food scene.
The Original Kasper's Hot Dogs in Northport has closed, soon to be replaced by a "Mexican concept" restaurant. The wiener-focused eatery, under the same ownership as Nina's Pizzeria, has already been through two openings and as many closings since its 2011 debut.
Franco La Rocca, executive chef for Nina's, Kasper's and its soon-to-hatch replacement, said that the hot dog-themed place across from the harbor did fine in summer but was "too much of a lunch spot" to make it through the colder months at that location.
But, he added, don't rule out a rebirth of Kasper's, next time at a more suitable spot for year-round survival.

by Ralph Graves How about a radio that appeals to the eye as well as the ear? The Tivoli Frost White Model One features a hand-laquered frost white finish that's smooth to the touch. And the quality doesn't stop there. The radio's wood case is also hand-crafted. It's designed as an inert speaker cabinet, so you only get the sound of the speaker not buzzing from the case, no matter how loud the volume. Outstanding mono sound Looks are fine, but first and foremost is the sound of the Model One. The radio's single 3-inch long-throw driver delivers a warm, yet clear mono sound in an expansive sound field. A passive bass port reenforces the low tones. The radio's frequency-contouring circuit continually adjusts audio output, ensuring the speaker reproduces all the details of the sound even with a weak signal. And don't worry about turning it up. The mono speaker can handle any volume level, filling your room with rich, distortion-free sound. Sensitive and sensible controls Controls for the Model One are few and easy to operate volume, AM/FM, and tuning. That large analog tuning dial is there for a reason. Many digital tuners have a hard time bringing in stations that aren't exactly on the frequency. This is especially true of distant stations, as the signal can drift slightly as it moves through the atmosphere. The Model One's 5-to-1 ratio dial lets you "fine tune" the reception. An LED light changes intensity as you tune, letting you know when the signal strength is strongest.

Tivoli is awesome Written By DavidR, Hagerstown, Md on Sunday, July 20, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very rich sound. I purchased this radio to play in my garage while I'm puttering around. It really fills the room with a beautiful rich sound. Normally I listen to classical music and this little radio puts my Bose to shame. Pros: Small and fits anywhere. picks up a lot if stations. This little gem will fill any room with rich music
Great sound from a small box! Written By LyleS, Costa Mesa, CA on Saturday, May 24, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I wanted a small basic radio for the kitchen, to listen to news in the morning while having my coffee. The Tivoli Model One does not disappoint, the sound is clear and tuning precise. I opted for the 'scratch & dent' option and saved $27 off the usual price. I was very pleased upon opening the carton, only two tiny blemishes which can be repaired with a little gloss white paint. Pros: clear sound, built well. Sturdy. Cons: none.
Great little radio Written By Tom, Denver, CO on Thursday, May 15, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Tiny radio with a big sound. Sound is equal to my Bose radio, which cost twice as much. Plus, it's small enough to fit on our bathroom counter. Pros: Size Sound quality Cons: None
A daisy in our kitchen Written By Guillermo M, San Juan, PR on Sunday, March 16, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The yellow and white combination of our Tivoli Model I has brought a cheerful note to our kitchen, not to mention its remarkable reproduction of sound in either band without the addition of external antennas. Its compact size makes it unobtrusive and a welcome item wherever you locate it. Excellent design and incredible performance for its size! Must be heard to really appreciate its out-of-the-bunch quality.
GREAT SOUND! Written By TomL, Tucson, AZ on Friday, December 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) We searched for a quality table radio and settled on a Tivoli Model One. For a small radio, the sound is excellent and the colors bright and cheerful. We were so impressed that a couple of weeks later, we purchased another Model One in a different color. Now we are doubly pleased... Pros: Quality product with quality sound. Cons: Made in China
Great Radio Written By Great Radio, Southern California on Saturday, May 26, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great little radio. Gift for my wonderful wife. She loves the color, finish, and reception/sound. Simple to use and high quality. Pros: Quality sound, reception and my wife thinks it's great! Cons: None yet.

Joke of the day
Every man needs a go-to joke.
The Punishment Fits the Crime There was a boy playing in the farm field when his mom called him in for breakfast. On his way in he kicked a cow, pig and a chicken. When he got to the table he saw a dry bowl of cereal. "What's the deal?" he asks. His mom says: "You kicked the cow, so no milk for you; you kicked the pig, so no bacon for you; and you kicked the chicken, so no eggs for you." Then his father walks into the kitchen and accidentally kicks the cat. The boy turns to his mother and says: "Do you want me to tell him or should you?"
Laying Down The Law On the first day of college, the dean addressed the students, pointing out some of the rules: "The female dormitory will be out-of-bounds for all male students, and the male dormitory to the female students," he explained. "Anybody caught breaking this rule will be fined $20 the first time." He continued: "Anybody caught breaking this rule the second time will be fined $60. Being caught a third time will cost you a fine of $180. Are there any questions?" At this point, a male student in the crowd inquired: "How much for a season pass?"
A Matter of Degrees A pair of old drunks were lounging in a bar. The first one says: "You know, when I was 30 and got a hard-on, I couldn't bend it with either of my hands; by the time I was 40, I could bend it about 10 degrees if I tried really hard; by the time I was 50, I could bend it about 20 degrees, no problem; I'm gonna be 60 next week, and now I can almost bend it in half with just one hand." "So," says the second drunk, "what's your point?" "Well," says the first, "I'm just wondering how much stronger I'm gonna get!"
The Barracks Door The manager hired a new secretary. She was young, sweet, and polite. One day while taking dictation, she noticed his fly was open. While leaving the room, she courteously said: "Oh sir, did you know that your barracks door was open?" He did not understand her remark, but later on happened to look down and saw that his zipper was open. He decided to have some fun with his new employee. Calling her in, he asked: "By the way, Miss Jones, when you saw my barracks door open this morning, did you also see a soldier standing at attention?" The secretary, who was quite witty, replied: "Why, no sir, all I saw was a tiny disabled veteran, sitting on two oversized duffel bags!"
Weak in the Knees A Doctor had an elderly patient "drop" in on him for an unscheduled appointment. "What can I do for you today, Mr. Smith?", the Doctor asked. The aged gentleman replied: "Doctor, you must help me. Every time I make love to my wife, my eyes get all bleary, my legs go weak and I can hardly catch my breath... Doctor, I'm frightened!" The Doctor, looking at his 86-year-old patient, said, "Mr. Smith, these sensations tend to happen over time, especially to a man of your advanced years, but tell me, when did you first notice these symptoms?" The old gentleman thought for a moment and said: "Well... three times last night, and twice again this morning!"
The Power of Observation A lecturer teaching medicine was tutoring a class on "Observation." In the class, he took out a jar of yellow liquid. "This," he explained, "is urine. To be a doctor, you have to be observant to color, smell, sight, and taste." After saying this, he dipped his finger into the jar and put it into his mouth. His class watched on in amazement and disgust. But being the good students that they were, the jar was passed, and one by one, they dipped one finger into the jar and then put it into their mouth. After the last student was done, the lecturer shook his head: "If any of you had been observant, you would have noticed that I put my second finger into the jar and my third finger into my mouth."
Keeping a Secret At a dinner party, several of the guests were arguing whether men or women were more trustworthy. "No woman," said one man, scornfully, "can keep a secret." "I don't know about that," answered a blonde female guest. "I have kept my age a secret since I was 21." "You'll let it out some day," the man insisted. "I hardly think so," responded the blonde. "When a woman has kept a secret for 27 years, she can keep it forever."

Demolition deadline missed for fire-gutted building
Pete Sikov said he's still working with Everett building and planning officials to tear down what remains of the 1894-vintage McCrossen Building at Hewitt and Oakes avenues.
The city will work with Sikov to initiate the demolition, but also is starting its own parallel preparations, in case he fails to follow through, city spokeswoman Kate Reardon said. Whatever happens, demolition crews aren't likely to descend on the site for at least a few more weeks.
"The deadline was missed, but we all understood that there was some complexity to the process," Reardon said.
Before being gutted Nov. 8, the McCrossen Building housed 13 apartments and at least three businesses.
Fire investigators never determined the exact cause, but found nothing suspicious. Michael D. Beard, 61, died of smoke inhalation. About 40 people were displaced.
In December, a city hearing examiner ordered the sidewalk in front of the business cleared and imposed a March 15 deadline to demolish the building.
A covered walkway soon materialized, but the other requirement proved a trickier task. That's largely because the ruined building shares a load-bearing wall with the building next door at 1812 Hewitt Ave.
By Friday, city inspectors had signed off on a temporary wall to keep the adjacent building intact during demolition, Reardon said. A permanent wall must be built afterward.
Before the demolition can move ahead, the building owner or the city must complete a state environmental checklist. That step will determine whether more study is necessary before seeking a demolition permit.
Sikov has yet to submit any formal paperwork with the city, but was in contact with building and planning officials, Reardon said.
Reached Friday, the owner confirmed he was working through the demolition regulations, but had no date for when the building might come down.
"I think things are coming along pretty well," Sikov said.
He said he had not considered plans for redeveloping the site, which is across the street from Comcast Arena.
When the corner is rebuilt, Everett's downtown zoning rules would allow shops, restaurants, office space or apartments. The code would prohibit using the land for a parking lot.

Phoronix: Crack Becomes Compelling For General Purpose Coding
Version 0.7 of Crack, a general purpose scripting language aimed for high performance, has been released and it brings a number of new features and improvements. To its developers the Crack language is reaching a pay-off point as being an alternative to writing programs in Python, C++, or Java...
When i read the title i thought it was an article about beneficial effect crack cocaine can have when writing code.
> Crack has been developed on Linux x86 and x86-64. It is highly questionable whether it will build under any other platform. Portability will play a bigger role in future versions of the language.
Portability should be a major feature for any runtime environment, moving it to "later" doesn' sound like a good idea. I also do not really understand why they introduce the ":=" assignment operator as in Pascal but then do not enforce it, allowing "=" for assignments. That way you still need "==" for comparisons, which makes the whole ":=" operator obsolete again. I have always hated having to search for misstakes like
in beginner's code which are perfectly legal because of the side-effects of the "=" operator.Code:if(a = 0)
Hmmm... Crack looks interesting. I'll have to give it a try.
I'm sure, being a LLVM language, that portability won't be difficult to accomplish. What the developer probably means is that he only has time to focus on Linux ATM.
But I agree that assignments like "if (a = 0)" shouldn't be allowed in ANY language.
Always interesting to see new languages supporting JIT compilation. Anyone know how it compares performance wise to JIT on Python (ie. PyPy)?
I suggest that die-hard fans of this new language start to call themselves "crack whores" :-)
(Analogous to "Linux whore", "Pixel whole", etc.)
Also, if someone forks this project, please name it "Meth".
People forget about GNU awk; it's a very fast scripting language. I converted a bash script that had an execution time of 30 seconds to awk, and the new version executed in 0.1 seconds. It's also available on almost every platform. Even my dd-wrt router has GNU awk available.
I can hardly see the use of a scripting language (other than bash and similar, which use is for being de facto standards on their platforms) which is not portable. Just make two builds if your language of choice will support only two outputs and provide compiled binaries.

At the 14th Founder Showcase, Slidefish founder, Neil Smith knew he would be in for a few hardball questions and some scrutiny from a panel of 5 VC judges. What he wasn't expecting, however, was getting asked one of the toughest questions of his entrepreneur journey.
What happens if Dropbox offers to buy your company for $75 million tomorrow?"
Watch the video below to hear Neil's response, and check out the full article on Startup Smart. Would this the most diffcult question you have ever heard from a judge? How do you balance sounding committed to your idea, yet seem aware enough to identify great opportunities? If this is not a tough question, what is? We would love to hear your thoughts in the comment thread below.
For more, make sure to get your tickets to the 15th Founder Showcase, taking place on Thursday, May 15th in Mountain View.

Genres covered include micro-fiction, the short story, the novel and poetry. Expect inspiration, an awareness of the craft, and enjoyment!
Who is this course for?
Anyone who has not yet started to write as well as those who are more experienced. You might wish to write for reasons of personal fulfilment or to produce work that could lead to possible publication.
Learning and Teaching
Learning and teaching are undertaken by means of small group work. This is a 10-credit course, so there will be two-hour meetings once a week (20 contact hours in all) which will include discussions, exercises (optional), craft lectures and workshops. The aim is ensure that the classes are enjoyable and stimulating for all. You will be expected to write in your own private time, with the guidance of your tutor, and to learn about revision, while at the same time becoming familiar with the fundamental concepts of creative writing.
Coursework and Assessment
To award credits we need to have evidence of the knowledge and skills you have gained or improved. Some of this has to be in a form that can be shown to external examiners so that we can be absolutely sure that standards are met across all courses and subjects.
There will be no formal examinations. You will be encouraged to write and read examples of your own work to your fellow class members and to comment on their work in turn, in the process sharpening your critical skills. The form your writing takes is for you to decide but your tutor will offer you advice and, depending at what level you are studying, work out a scheme of study with you which is intended to bring out the best in you. The basis of assessment will be a portfolio of creative writing consisting of your best work produced on this module. This portfolio may consist of several separate creative pieces or one piece of extended writing, by prior agreement with the tutor.
Your work will be assessed by your tutor, who will offer you written reports which we hope you will find constructive. The most important element of assessment is that it should enhance your learning. Our methods are flexible and are designed to increase your confidence and we try very hard to devise ways of assessing you that are enjoyable and suitable for adults with busy lives.
Reading suggestions
The course tutor will suggest titles, as appropriate.

Definite yes to stabilize wobbley sink Ordered this to go with Kraus Copper Pluto 12-mm Thick Glass Vessel Sink (which is gorgeous!). We were replacing a flat-bottomed vessel sink and didn't know whether we needed this, but definitely do for a rounded bottom sink like our new one. The ring is solid (antique) brass, very heavy and sits solidly on our granite countertop. The sink sits up a bit higher so the ring really shows off the sink. This is a definite winner.

Vessel mounting ring This part was not included in the drain installation package I ordered for my rectangular Kraus glass vessel sink. When the sink was installed without it, it was wobbly, so I called overstock and they said that this ring is not a required part for the large sinks. So I went ahead and ordered one anyway and glad that I did. It does raise the sink up a little above the countertop, but it is now more stable and I think it makes the sink look better. So, while it's not necessary I would recommend getting one, especially if your sink wobbles.

Questions & Answers
to mount my new vessel sink
This should be part of the faucet kit.
to mount sink
Is a mounting ring absolutely necessary when installing a vessel sink on a granite countertop? Can the sink be installed without one> What are the benefits of a mounting ring?
Yes, for me it was. Because of the type of vessel sink I purchased from Overstock, the mounting ring makes it easier to clean under the sink. Also, my plumber recommended it.
Yes. It provides stability when you have cats walking over the sink.
The vessel sink I ordered already had this mounting included. It is necessary to use; if not, it would be harder to clean under the sink.
My vessel sink sits directly on top of the counter. My plumber told be I did not need the mounting ring. Hope he was right. I never returned it so I wasted money.
Shopping Guides
How to Buy the Right Drain for Your Bathroom Sink
A new bathroom sink can completely transform and update your bathroom. Whether you choose a dramatic red vessel sink or a simple antique pedestal sink, a new bathroom sink will make a big difference in the look of your bathroom. Smaller items like the best bathroom sink drain and faucet will also make a statement. Many bathroom sinks will include parts for the sink drain, but some vessel sinks will require you to select your own drain. If you choose to purchase a bathroom sink that requires a separate drain purchase, then consider these tips to help you find the right sink drain for your bathroom.
Vessel Sinks vs Traditional Sinks
The addition of a vessel bathroom sink can really add style to your bath remodel, but before you decide to go with a vessel sink, you may want to know how they compare with the traditional sinks you're familiar with. Here's a side-by-side comparison of the two types of bathroom sinks.
How to Install Vessel Sink Faucets
An elegant vessel sink can add a touch of modern flair to any bathroom. The requirements for installing vessel sinks and their compatible vessel sink faucets can vary a bit from regular bathroom faucets, however. Here are some simple instructions to help you get your vessel sink faucet installed properly and change the look of your bathroom.
How to Install Vessel Sinks
Style and luxury can be added to any bathroom by installing a vessel sink. Two installations are popular: You can either rest the bathroom sink directly on the countertop or cut a hole in the countertop and lower the vessel down so that the sink bowl is partially recessed. Once you've installed the countertop and sink faucet, you'll be ready to install the vessel sink itself.
Matching a Vessel Sink to Your Bathroom
Part of the challenge of remodeling is blending fixtures and hardware, such as a bathroom sink, with other elements of your room decor. Unique bath fixtures, such as vessel sinks, can introduce special challenges. A vessel sink is not meant to blend into the countertop as other bathroom sinks do. It's often a focal point for the room. Below are some tips on incorporating a bathroom vessel sink into your bath decor.
How to Install a Bathroom Sink
Replacing old bathroom sinks can give new life to your bathroom. Whether you're installing a new undermount sink, vessel sink, basin sink or a regular vanity sink, most of the steps will remain the same. If you're installing a pedestal bathroom sink, however, not all of these instructions will apply. All you need is a few tools, your new bathroom sink and a few detailed steps to replace that old sink and give your bathroom a whole new look.
How to Clean Garbage Disposals
Did you know that odors can build up in garbage disposals around the blades, under the rubber rims and in the drain and pipes? Most people clean their kitchen sinks regularly but forget about one of the most important parts of kitchen sink, the garbage disposal. It can be tricky to reach into the disposal to remove the offending smelly residue, but with a little effort, you can quickly restore freshness to your drains. Using simple methods, you can degrease and deodorize garbage disposals while sharpening the blades to reduce future odor accumulation.
All about Jewelry Boxes - Selecting a Jewelry Armoire
If you love jewelry, keep your collection safe with jewelry boxes. You couldn't have guessed that the locket you received for your 12th birthday would lead to a complete jewelry takeover in your bedroom, closet and bathroom. You bought your first bangle bracelet in high school and a collection of sterling silver cocktail rings in college, and now your home is filled with your beloved jewelry treasures. Investing in a jewelry armoire will help you make sure that you wear your favorite pieces often and keep them safe. A jewelry armoire is a large jewelry box that has room for a large collection of necklaces, bracelets, rings, earrings and other accessories. These jewelry cabinets usually stand on the ground or are mounted onto the wall. Consider these tips when shopping for jewelry box armoires to invest in the best jewelry storage options for your home.
Unique Faucet Designs
Sometimes it seems like faucets don't vary much. Ninety-five percent of the kitchen and bath faucets you see are basic sink-mounted, single-spout designs with one lever or two knobs. These vary in terms of finish and embellishment, but, essentially, these designs are all variations on a single theme. These kinds of faucets make great complements to a wide range of kitchen and bath decor. However, sometimes, you may want a faucet that's unique, that departs from the norm and becomes a centerpiece for or makes a specific statement about your kitchen or bath. Maybe you want a faucet that performs a specific function that the usual faucets do not. If you're looking for that kind of faucet, keep reading. We've compiled a list of four unique faucet designs, one of which may be just what you're looking for.
How to Compare Jewelry Armoires
When you think of treasure, you might picture mounds of gold in an ancient castle vault. Modern-day treasure does exist, however, and you probably have a few precious pieces of gold or silver in your jewelry collection. A jewelry box is like your contemporary treasure chest; you wouldn't leave piles of gold strewn around the house. A jewelry armoire is one of the best ways to keep your precious baubles safe and organized. These large jewelry boxes have compartments for everything, including rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, cuff links, body jewelry, watches and non-jewelry valuables. Some jewelry armoires even have locks, secret drawers and the ability to be mounted on your wall. Our quick review of jewelry chest armoires and jewelry cabinets will help you choose the best one for your jewelry fortune.

How to Install a Garbage Disposal

Here are some simple instructions for installing the garbage disposal yourself.
