Tennessee Republican Sen. Bob Corker took a break from lambasting President Barack Obama's foreign policy on Wednesday to become the only Republican to vote with Democrats to advance a measure raising the minimum wage.
The legislation stalled in a 54-42 vote, falling short of the 60 votes needed for the Senate to begin debate on the measure raising the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour, up from $7.25. Three Republican senators and Sen. Mark Pryor (D., Ark.) did not vote, while Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) voted "no" for procedural reasons.
Mr. Corker said after the vote that while he supported bringing the bill to the floor for debate, he would not have voted for its passage.
"I just think debating how you're going to improve the standard of living of Americans is an important thing to do," Mr. Corker told reporters after the vote. "I didn't think the underlying policy was the appropriate policy but to me, economic growth and people's standard of living improving is right in our bailiwick."
Increasing the minimum wage has been a central plank in Democrats' agenda heading into the fall's midterm elections. Mr. Corker said many other Republicans likely voted against considering the bill because they felt it was a "political exercise."
But Mr. Corker's bipartisan moment was short-lived. Shortly after his vote, Mr. Corker led a press conference of Republican senators deriding Mr. Obama's reaction to Russian President Vladimir Putin's actions in Ukraine. Mr. Corker said he had discussed the GOP legislation laying out stronger sanctions against Russia and other steps with Sen. Robert Menendez (D., N.J.), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, but so far no Democrats have said they support the bill.

Hannah Jacobmeyer. Märchen und Romanzen in der zeitgenössischen englischen Literatur. Münster etc.: LIT, 2000. 220 pp.
This study on the renaissance of fairy tale and romance under the auspices of postmodernism, which is one of the principal feature of late twentieth-century literature, is based on a meticulous survey of both research on folk literature and postmodern epistemology or ontology. This makes the book a very reliable introduction to the genre in any given period.
Jacobmeyer's approach is embedded in the discussion of genre and expectation, and, more prominently, in the network of intertextual relations. This kind of positivistic groundwork seems to be a prerequisite for the definition of any postmodern work of literature. The third issue discussed in this methodological framework, and which is equally revealing, concerns the tension between the pre-modern tradition of the fairy tale and its re-emergence. Ritual and repetition appear to be the best mould for conveying the ideology of postmodernism, as the autor concludes: When we have become familiar with and duly lost our faith in any 'Lyotardian' meta-narrative, only repetition remains plausible, which is often playful. Thus, the "pre-modernism" inherent in romance and fairy tale is a feature widely felt to be "postmodern" (201). The reader may agree to what Zipes said on the "Changing Function of the Fairy Tales": they persist, indeed, in being a "cultural institution" due to the level of moderate experimentalism where self-referentiality and conventional realism are merging (202 f.).1
Surprisingly, in this comprehensive study of postmodern genre and intertextuality, traditional categories of literary criticism still loom large. Postmodernism is considered a quasi-metaphysical entity. This becomes obvious when she remarks on how far individual works fulfil the requirements of postmodernism or when she, as I understand, regrets that Angela Carter and other writers appear to falter when matched with radical feminism, which is supposed to be a tenet of true postmodernism. This reminds one of the fact that in former times critics were prone to discuss how far a work was pervaded by romanticism or by the baroque. This sort of applied platonism or idealism preoccupied generations of critics especially in Germany. Anyway, as we have to come to terms with the recent past in criticism, the battle for imposing the terminology, i.e. the critic fighting for public recognition of his own definition of postmodernism, is still raging and, as an ongoing concern, has left its mark in Jacobmeyer's study.
However, any reader who follows Jacobmeyer across the fields of fairy tale and romance will get a deeper understanding of one of postmodernism's greater achievements. We come to appreciate the close-reading practiced on pieces by prominent authors such as A.S. Byatt, Rushdie or Angela Carter. This book includes sound methodology (Pfister's "taxonomy" of intertext, above all),2 which any student of literature will appreciate, and produces lucent insight into the workings of postmodern fairy rale and romance, which make it a powerful small book on a central cultural issue. If so, it is suggested that 'Lacanian' desire, the fulfilment of which must be forever postponed being the true realization of "différance", and endless textuality meet. Accordingly, closure never occurs in romance. This is the keystone of the approach underlying this study. Apart from puzzling the scholar, the sole function of intertext is its potential of meaning, which, from the ontological point of view, is located in-between the signs. The more significants are piled on each other for generating significance, the more the latent significance of the void [between text and intertext] itself grows. We are to develop an awareness that the immediacy of meaning cannot possibly include the desire for it. Romance, which aims at postponement is intended to be performed in a space never to be reached, the phenomenon of which is shared by intertext. It is "in-dicible, inter-dite", in-between the said, as intertext is produced in-between the carriers of significance.3 In line with this assumption widely shared by critics nowadays, the most interesting chapters are those devoted to the case studies of Graham Swift, Barbara Cartland, A.S. Byatt, Salman Rushdie, Tanith Lee, and Angela Carter.
The reading of Ever After is based upon a comprehensive compilation of intertextual references, which, as a whole, form a collage in the context of postmodern romance. According to postmodern theory, into the depth of which we are taken from the start, their purpose is to articulate desire: both the nature of it and the longing for the ability to give expression to the unexpressible in whatever shape. As Jacobmeyer argues, the epistemological quality of the quest by the unheroic and extremely contemplative descendants of Hamlet for the appropriate father-figure will provide the consolation of literature - and not of philosophy, as there is hardly any in postmodernism - to overcome the contingency of life. (75)
Concomitant with the mainstream of postmodern literature, the quest structure of Swift's romance is extended to the level of metafiction and language philosophy for the purpose of giving 'substance' to the individual. Whatever the aimlessness of the intellectual's quest and the morbidity conveyed by this novel, its urgency renders it authentic. Jacobmeyer concludes that the novel's continually suggesting meaning and coherence is entirely due to the traditional elements of romance and, even more so, to the intensity and plenitude of life in the moment of death, which reminds the reader of the most forceful lines of Keats' poetry (80-81), as life and death are indissolubly connected. This is coordinated by a narrator who declares himself unreliable. As Catherine Belsey aptly commented upon intertextuality in Love Stories in Western Culture (1994): "Desire alludes to to texts - but in order to efface its own citationality. It thus draws attention to its elusiveness, its excess over the signifier. Desire is what is not said." (86)
In the Cartland chapter the question of romance being so popular among women in particular is raised by the traditional formnula of "new symbols to represent their own desires" (89). This is just a side issue beween romance and fairy tale, though, as a cultural phenomenon, it is equally significant. Both the characters in fiction and their female readers indulge in glamour and sexual excitement, while consummation is being postponed. Thus romance thrives on the tension between being and want (91), i.e. deficient being - according to Lacan, endless postponement is the desire of the unnamable. As Zelda Provenzano has remarked, Cartland readers are unwilling to confront sexuality as such, so that "Cartland's lack of pornographic filigree has earned her over 400,000,000 readers." (92), however conventionalised these stories are.
It is hard to decide whether the character of the Djinn originates from dream or from neurosis. However fascinating the playfulness and the richness of intertextual references one would not expect in the context of romance and fairy tale, the essence both of the intertext's and of the tale's sharply focussing on love, sex, and death is reductive rather than all-encompassing.
Haroun is caught and kept prisoner on the ship of darkness which rides over the centre of the "Old Zone: This is the source of narration and thus logos surrounded by the holistic principle of the ocean. In Derrida's terms, logo-centrism means phono-centrism, as the act of narration is priviledged in Western culture. However, the source itself remains in darkness, apart from Haroun's "unio mystica", as one critic suggested, which is an experience beyond speech. If this kind of epiphany is attained, as the fairy-tale experts will call "Glücksinstanz"4 or in Virgina Woolf's "moments of being", modernism means rationalism at its most mystic level and postmodernism, consequently, will be supposed to be the reverse of it. Jacobmeyer draws the conclusion that Rushdie's narratives are still determined by a eurocentric habitus, or, at least, by the residual effects of it (162). Ontologically, any of the fictional worlds created by Rushdie's narration will necessitate order being imposed upon existence: "The world is for Controlling", as Haroun is told, which could have been written in the Bible, or is it plain existentialism?
Lee's tale on Wolfland was first published in Fantasy & Science Fiction (1980) and reprinted in her Red as Blood or Tales from the Sisters Grimmers (1983) and collected by Jack Zipes for one of his volumes devoted to the most famous figure in world literature.5 This modern version emerges as a tale about matriarchy written in defence against masculine violence and the order of society build upon it. Whatever the gothic setting, the werewolf-grandmother, who is definitely not "masculine and overpowering"6 nor sexually devouring stands for matriarchy as a humane and pragmatic order of society. The potential of intertext which operates in this tale is highly communicative and it is by no means tragic, as the genre would have required. Thus, as Jacobmeyer concludes, the postmodern scepticism against 'meta-conventions' gives rise to new forms of creation (178).
As many of the tales written by Angela Carter are a notable success, this book is duly to terminate with a reading of the Bloody Chamber. At the level of allegory, the "Country" of marriage will be decoded as the place of conjugal sexuality, female isolation, awareness (in the bloody chamber), as the battle of the sexes, as emancipation and divorce. At the level of intertext, the tale negotiates its meaning between Charles Perrault's Bluebeard and de Sade's Minski. Whatever the hypertrophy of sexual fantasies provided by literature, this is the narration of a rather neurotic, or provocatively and subversively ironic female initiation under the rules of decadent patriarchy in the context of fin-de-si&&egarve;cle intertextual references. Accordingly, Carter's postmodernism excells in deconstructing the traditional ethics of the West, and diverse cultural periods merge into ambiguous pieces of literature (193).
To conclude, Jacobmeyer succeeds in conveying an excellent 'morphology' of postmodern fairy tale and romance. She exactly displays the qualities of a premodern genre reshaped under the conditions of media society. The conclusions drawn from the very detailed coverage of a phenomenon which is by no means marginal in postmodern culture will frame the ongoing debate. However, as her concepts of postmodernism and intertext are restricted to the disciplined methodology of literary scholarship, cultural analysis might provide further readings. If ambiguity pervades late twentieth-century literature, this will prompt the question whether postmodern excess should be read rather as a symptom of a failure of confidence, perhaps rendered obsessive by unextinguishable desire, than just a fashion in literature. The very concept of "intertextuality" cannot be understood without thinking about the function which literature may have in reflecting the mentality of the society concerned. Its communicative potential and its dialoguicity are, first of all, an intellectual pastime in an epistemological void. In the cultural setting of the late twentieth century, intertext, which was revived by the founding fathers of literary modernism, had become the craze among elitist writers - modernism was definitely so - busily scribbling it down against the rising tide of semi-illiteracy and electronic pictorialism in an age of surfeit of information and of the deluge of data. Or, as one TLS critic recently put it when reviewing Peter Ackroyd's Clerkenwell Tales (2003): "the self-conscious acceptance of writing as recycling literature."7 It does not seem pointless to argue that ambiguity and even a lack of confidence sell. The notorious instability of the postmodern self will be duly compensated by the stable amount on the monthly cheque.

3 "Die Beanspruchung des Intertexts kommt zustande durch den Wunsch nach Bedeutung - Bedeutung, die eben nur zwischen Zeichen liegt. In dem Maße, in dem ein Signifikant auf den nächsten gehäuft wird im Bemühen, Bedeutung zu generieren, wächst der Intertext als unsichtbarer, bedeutungsvoller Zwischenraum. Das Bewußtsein von der Unmöglichkeit einer vollen Präsenz zusammen mit dem Begehren nach einer solchen Präsenz findet Ausdruck in der Form der Romanze. Das Ziel, das in der Romanze verfolgt wird, schiebt sich immer weiter hinaus: Romanze spielt - und das hat sie mit dem Phänomen der Intertextualität gemeinsam - in einem nicht erreichbaren Raum. Sie ist "in-dicible, inter-dite", zwischen Gesagtem, wie auch der Intertext zwischen Bedeutungsträger entsteht." (59)

Jose Valle Makes Biggest Jump on Top 40 List
In only his second year on Radio Ink's 40 Most Powerful People in Radio list, Univision Radio President Jose Valle enters the top ten at number 7, jumping 12 spots from number 19. The veteran radio executive and former Univision Los Angeles manager has brought an engaging leadership style since taking charge of the radio division. Univision owns 69 radio stations in 20 top Hispanic markets including Puerto Rico. Here's what Valle had to say in our Power issue about moving the radio needle forward.
"The best thing we can do to move forward is to protect our core business by overdelivering on expectations to both listeners and advertisers. AM/FM, as our listeners will always refer to us, needs to continue to be their first choice for music and entertainment. As such, Univision Radio has made significant investments in music research on listener behavior, driving changes to our on-air product on multiple levels."
Valle says, about his philosophy, "we hire and empower good people who live our company values and understand our listeners, are "ninja good" at what they do, and super-competetive. And if that isn't enough we remind them that we play music and throw parties for a living. If that doesn't motivate you, I don't know what will."

NWAR: Trench Warfare
Detective Nwar gets his hands dirty for a political campaign.
4.43 / 5.00 2,575 ViewsAfter two years away from Flash, this is my returning effort. And in my opinion, it's my best yet by a country mile.
A lot's happened over the past two years. I've grown up in many ways. I know now that there is no point making Flash content for the sake of awards and recognition (take a look at my submissions and you'll see that really didn't work out); it should be about enjoying the creation and the satisfaction of the end product. This means I won't be churning out half-baked submissions with sketchy tweens and crude bitmaps. If I see a problem, I'll fix it, even if it means dumping and rebuilding part of my library. This actually happened twice while making this.
The actual idea of a dark, serious Mario movie was inspired by the efforts of D-Sun, Alvin-Earthworm, Psycosis, VGDC etc. The actual idea of using Shadow Mario as a villain has been in my head for years; you may remember the (awful) Mario vs. Shadow Mario that I released in 2007. I've since developed this idea into an effort with a proper story, and I hope this is something you'll enjoy; it's certainly been a lot of fun to make, through hard times and, er, harder times...
Anyway, I'll stop rambling. Kudos if you actually read this far.
Enjoy the movie!
good, smooth, I really enjoyed it. Epics,
Can't wait for the next ep.
Nice work!
I still don't understand how some ppl can do flash just to become famous...
Very good flash, i liked it.
not bad
i typically don't like sprite-based flash movies. they are either just fight sequences with no substance or originality or lazy parodies, but it seems like you at least spent a great deal of time organizing and crafting a story here. it was fairly slow moving and not all that much happened. I feel like it would have been better to leave the backstory about Shadow and the Erebus Machine until a later episode further into the series so that there would be some mystery to keep the viewer interested. i feel like this is just the setup for episode 2 instead of an episode in its own right. also, there were a couple of spelling errors. "civilisation" and "mobilise" should be civilization and mobilize. These are the ones I caught, there could be more. In any case, keep up the good work and hope to see an even more robust 2nd ep.
Actually, in England, we spell them with an 's'. Sorry for the confusion.
Kick Ass
I usually hate these types of animations, but this one is really good. I enjoyed the plot. It was very entertaining!
Nice job
Really good animating, the video itself was nicely put together, and it has an interesting story. But it seems a bit too different from traditional Mario plots. Either way, good work. Can't wait too see the next one.

'Hava Nagila' Gymnast Named to U.S. Olympic Team
18-year-old Jewish gymnast heads to London 2012
By: Sammy Hudes
Jewish American gymnast Alexandra "Aly" Raisman is heading to the
Olympics after landing a spot on the U.S. Olympic women's gymnastics
team for the 2012 London games earlier this week.
Raisman, 18, finished third at the Olympic trials in San Jose, Calif., to secure her spot on the American Olympic team while posting the highest scores on Beam and Floor.
Meanwhile, 16-year-old Gabrielle Douglas upset fellow 16-year-old and World Champion, Jordyn Wieber for the top spot at the trials, as both of them punched their tickets to the Olympics. Wieber and Douglas will join Raisman on the gymnastics roster, on what some say will be the strongest team the Americans have had since 1996.
"I was really, really emotional, way more than I thought I would be," said Raisman after being named to the Olympic squad. "I thought I would maybe tear up a little bit but I didn't think I'd hyperventilate like that. I couldn't even breathe. It was such a special moment and I'm so honoured and so excited."
Born in Needham, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston, Raisman was part of the 2010 U.S. World Championships team that won the silver medal in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
She is best known for performing a routine choreographed to "Hava Nagila" at the 2011 World Gymnastics Championships in Tokyo, Japan, for which she won a bronze medal on the floor exercise.
That same year, she was the captain of the U.S. gold medal-winning squad at the World Championships.
Raisman has previously indicated that if she were to qualify for the 2012 games, she would perform to the Hasidic tune again, but this time, on the world's biggest stage.
In 2011, she told the JTA that she is proud to use the Jewish song "because there aren't too many Jewish elites out there," adding that she liked "how the crowd can clap to it."
Raisman is a former recipient of the Pearl D. Mazor Outstanding Female Jewish High School Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award given out by the Jewish Sports Hall of Fame in New York.
Enjoy as Raisman performs her routine to the tune of "Hava Nagila"

Nair, PS and Durvasula, S (1973) On quasi-degeneracies in plate vibration problems. In: International Journal of Mechanical Sciences, 15 (12). pp. 975-986.
Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
In plotting the variation of frequencies with geometric parameters such as side ratio, skew angle, thickness taper, etc. in detailed studies of the vibration characteristics of plates, situations are encountered such as crossing of the frequency curves or the tendency of these curves to come close together and veer away from each other. These have been generally referred to as "frequency crossings" and "transitions" respectively. The latter may preferably be referred to as "quasi-degeneracies". In the literature there appears to be some ambiguity in the analysis and interpretation of these features. In this paper, a clarification of some of these questions as regards rectangular and skew plates is presented by making use of concepts from physics dealing with molecular vibrations.

Sleep Duration as a Risk Factor for the Development of Type 2 Diabetes

OBJECTIVE—Short-term partial sleep restriction results in glucose intolerance and insulin resistance. The purpose of this study was to assess the long-term relationship between sleep duration and the incidence of clinical diabetes.
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—A cohort of men from the Massachusetts Male Aging Study without diabetes at baseline (1987–1989) were followed until 2004 for the development of diabetes. Average number of hours of sleep per night was grouped into the following categories: ≤5, 6, 7, 8, and >8 h. Incidence rates and relative risks (RRs) were calculated for the development of diabetes in each sleep duration category. Those reporting 7 h of sleep per night served as the reference group. Multivariate analysis was performed using Poisson regression.
RESULTS—Men reporting short sleep duration (≤5 and 6 h of sleep per night) were twice as likely to develop diabetes, and men reporting long sleep duration (>8 h of sleep per night) were more than three times as likely to develop diabetes over the period of follow-up. Elevated risks remained essentially unchanged after adjustment for age, hypertension, smoking status, self-rated health status, education, and waist circumference (RR 1.95 [95% CI 0.95–4.01] for ≤5 h and 3.12 [1.53–6.37] for >8 h). RRs were altered considerably for the two extreme sleep groups when adjusted for testosterone (1.51 [0.71–3.19] for ≤5 h and 2.81 [1.34–5.90] for >8 h), suggesting that the effects of sleep on diabetes could be mediated via changes in endogenous testosterone levels.
CONCLUSIONS—Short and long sleep durations increase the risk of developing diabetes, independent of confounding factors. Sleep duration may represent a novel risk factor for diabetes.

One major advantage of the loose-footed main is that you don't need to have slits cut to pass the reefing lines through. Another is that the loose-footed main may be easier to shape since it'll have less friction, since the sail only has two or three slugs rather than a full bolt rope connecting the foot of the sail to the boom—making using the outhaul easier.

dena co ltd (D2N) Top Compensated Officers
dena co ltd (D2N) Key Developments
Nintendo and DeNA plan to create an online gaming service that will be accessible from mobile devices, PCs and Nintendo's own game systems. For years, Nintendo had insisted that it would not take its beloved cast of video game characters, including Mario and Zelda, to the smartphones and tablets that tens of millions of people now use to play games. Nintendo reversed its position on mobile devices, dropping a pledge that had come to seem increasingly detached from the habits of game players. The company said it had formed a partnership with another Japanese company that specializes in mobile games, DeNA, to develop games based on Nintendo brands for smartphones and tablets. The two companies said they planned to create an online gaming service to be introduced this fall that will be accessible from mobile devices, PCs and Nintendo's own game systems. Nintendo promised that it was not abandoning the business of making its own game hardware, saying that it had a new game platform under development. The company's president, Satoru Iwata, said Nintendo would share more details about the product, code-named NX, next year. For Nintendo, the risk of ignoring mobile was that its whimsical games would lose relevance to popular mobile games like Minecraft, Angry Birds and Clash of Clans, especially among younger players. Other established companies and figures in the game industry, including Electronic Arts, came to recognize the importance of mobile games much earlier. Nintendo has long favored its traditional approach of designing games only for its own hardware, including the Wii U console and portable players like the Nintendo 3DS. Its position was somewhat like that of Apple, which believes it can create high-quality products only by controlling devices and the software that runs them. Even Apple, though, swiftly bowed to the realities of the PC market, creating its iTunes software and service for dominant Windows computers. Nintendo's aversion to mobile devices, in contrast, came to seem dogmatic and hazardous to the future of the company. Nintendo's sales and profits suffered badly in recent years as game playing on smartphones and tablets skyrocketed. Most mobile games are far cheaper than Nintendo games, especially the free-to-play games that are so common on mobile devices. Analysts believe Nintendo teamed up with DeNA partly because it has so little experience with the methods of generating revenue from today's mobile games. The rise of mobile gaming is particularly galling for Nintendo, which practically invented the concept of playing games on the go with devices like the Game Boy and the more recent 3DS. As successful as Nintendo's portable devices have been, they are far more limited devices than modern smartphones. Mr. Cole estimates the revenue from smartphone and tablet games was about $15 billion last year, compared with about $4 billion for portable games. Despite the recent struggles, it is hard to count Nintendo out completely. Nintendo began to falter as Sony and Microsoft poured fortunes into building consoles with the most powerful graphics available. In response, Nintendo created the original Wii, a console that lacked the best graphics but made up for it with an innovative motion-based controller. For several years, it was the hottest game system around, finding avid users among large portions of the public who had never played games before. It was precisely those casual game users whom Nintendo lost to smartphones and tablets, when games emerged as a category for those devices. But some analysts do not think it is too late for Nintendo to be successful in mobile.
DeNA Co., Ltd., Board Meeting, Mar 17, 2015. Agenda: To allot its treasury shares by means of a third-party allotment to Nintendo Co., Ltd.
Nintendo Co. and DeNA Co. announced that they will form a capital and business alliance to jointly develop and provide a global gaming service for smartphones. They will invest about ¥22 billion in each other, with Nintendo taking a 10 stake in DeNA and DeNA a 1.24% stake in Nintendo. The two companies plan to jointly develop a membership-based gaming service available for a wide range of devices, such as smartphones, personal and tablet computers as well as Nintendo's game consoles. The new service, set to start around this autumn, will take advantage of the popularity of characters in Nintendo's Mario Bros. and other gaming series. The alliance allows Nintendo to expand its service, currently run solely on its consoles, to tap into a rapidly growing market for smartphone gaming services. DeNA hopes to leverage the alliance to enhance its operations for smartphones, an area where it has lagged behind. The alliance will also give the company access to Nintendo's global networks.

Every day we make choices. Coke or Pepsi? Save or spend? Stay or go?
Whether mundane or life-altering, these choices define us and shape our lives. Sheena Iyengar asks the difficult questions about how and why we choose: Is the desire for choice innate or bound by culture? Why do we sometimes choose against our best interests? How much control do we really have over what we choose? Sheena Iyengar's award-winning research reveals that the answers are surprising and profound. In our world of shifting political and cultural forces, technological revolution, and interconnected commerce, our decisions have far-reaching consequences. Use THE ART OF CHOOSING as your companion and guide for the many challenges ahead.
Sheena Iyengar's groundbreaking research on choice has been funded by the National Science Foundation, the National Institute of Mental Health, and the National Security Education Program. She holds degrees from UPenn, The Wharton School of Business, and Stanford University. She is a professor at Columbia University, and a recipient of the Presidential Early Career Award. Her work is regularly cited in periodicals as diverse as Fortune and Time magazines, the NYT and the WSJ, in books such as Blink and The Paradox of Choice.
"No one asks better questions, or comes up with more intriguing answers."
"Sheena Iyengar's work on choice and how our minds deal with it has been groundbreaking, repeatedly surprising, and enormously important. She is someone we need to listen to."

Tequila-Marinated Shrimp Pizza with Chorizo, Onions, Bell Peppers, and Cilantro Pesto
- 3/4 cup warm water (110 degrees F)
- 1 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 2 to 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 20 medium raw shrimp, peeled, deveined, and cut in half lengthwise
- 1/2 cup tequila (recommended: Cabo Wabo)
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro leaves, plus extra for garnish
- 1 teaspoon grated lime zest
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- Cornmeal, for dusting peel
- 8 ounces Mexican chorizo, chopped
- Cilantro Pesto, recipe follows
- 11/2 cups grated Monterey jack cheese
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cored, seeded and cut into long strips
- 1/2 medium white onion, cut into rings
- 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
- Chopped green onions, garnish
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the water, yeast, and sugar. Let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add 2 cups of the flour, salt, and 2 teaspoons of the oil, stirring with a heavy wooden spoon to incorporate. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and pliable, yet slightly sticky, 5 minutes, adding more flour as needed 2 teaspoons at a time to prevent from sticking to the board.
Lightly oil a large mixing bowl with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon oil. Place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with the oil. Cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm, draft-free place. Allow the dough to rise until nearly double in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
At least 45 minutes before baking pizza, put a pizza stone on the bottom rack of the oven and preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
While the dough is rising, marinate the shrimp. In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, tequila, lime juice, crushed garlic, cilantro, lime zest, pepper flakes, kosher salt, and cumin. Let marinate for no more than 1 hour. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and pat dry.
In a skillet, cook the sausage over medium-high heat until the fat is rendered and almost completely cooked through, about 4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Let cool.
On a lightly floured surface turn out the dough and lightly work into a large flat disk. Let rest for 10 minutes. Pat and stretch out the dough to a 12-inch round, turning and lifting to make about 1/8-inch thick.
Dust a baker's peel or bottom of a baking sheet with the cornmeal. Carefully transfer the dough onto the peel and reshape as necessary without pressing down hard (so the dough will come away easily). Working quickly, spread cilantro pesto across the dough to cover, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edge. Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the top, then arrange the shrimp, bell peppers, onions, and cooked sausage over the top. Dot the pizza with the goat cheese.
Line up the peel over the baking stone and slide to release the pizza. (Alternately, bake on the baking sheet.) Bake until the dough is crisp and golden brown and the cheeses are melted and bubbly, about 8 minutes. Transfer with the peel to a large cutting board. Let sit for 5 minutes.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and green onions, to taste. Cut into slices, and if desired, drizzle with additional pesto sauce.
Cilantro Pesto:2 cups tightly packed fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 cup lightly toasted pine nuts
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
1/4 cup grated cotija, queso fresco, or Parmesan
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons olive oil
In a food processor or blender, combine the cilantro, pine nuts, and garlic, and puree on high speed. Add the cheese, pepper and salt, and process to combine. Scrape the sides of the processor, and with the machine running, add the olive oil. Blend until well combined.
Yield: Makes about 3/4 cup

As David Blatner says in this week's InDesign Secrets, typesetting a poem is an art and a science. Your layout should complement both the theme and the length of the poem, and make it visually distinguishable from surrounding text.
But one of the greatest challenges designers face when typesetting poetry is centering a poem on its longest line, and then making sure all other lines are flush left with it. In this free video, David shows you how to accomplish just that using the tools in Adobe InDesign.

eGigs.co.uk recently conducted an interview with guitarist/bassist/vocalist Duff McKagan (DUFF MCKAGAN'S LOADED, VELVET REVOLVER, GUNS N' ROSES). A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.
eGigs.co.uk: Are you still doing stuff with VELVET REVOLVER or is it on hold at the moment? Duff: Well, we don't have a singer. We've written all the material but we're still looking for one. We're waiting for the right guy to come in but for sure we don't have him yet. We've worked with a couple of guys, but they're got to be 100% behind us because for all we do, we've got to go to war together. There's been a couple of guys, man, I thought were perfect, but we'll find the right guy.. They've got to be great, not just good. eGigs.co.uk: You play guitar again with LOADED. Have you always played guitar? Duff: The first band I was in was called THE VEINS and I played bass in the band. It was my first experience, then I played drums in the early Eighties in a touring punk rock band, but then I also played guitar in another band. When I was sixteen, seventeen, the band became ONE MINUTE WARNING, [and] I switched to rhythm guitar. Then heroin hit Seattle in about '83, and by '84 I knew that because heroin had so enveloped Seattle that if I wanted to stay in music, I had to leave, so that's what I did. But I was a guitar player at that point, so I flew down to L.A., there it was Eddie Van Halen, and Yngwie Malmsteen guitar players and I was a Johnny Thunders/Pete Jones guitar player. So I knew I couldn't really compete, and nor did I want to compete with that kind of stuff. So, I came down and got a job in the first hour I was down there, and met some dudes through an add in a newspaper, and that was Slash and Steven [Adler]. I decided if we were going to form a band, I was going to be a bass player, a proper bass player, I wasn't going to mess around anymore. I made my own record called "Believe In Me" and played drums, guitar, bass and vocals, and played everything in 1993. I played guitar in the mid nineties with Steve Jones. Every song I've ever written, whether with GUNS, VR or LOADED, has been done on guitar. eGigs.co.uk: So for the state of the music industry, how [would] you say it [is]? What [is] your summation? Duff: Well, you know it's changed. It's changed so much. Back in the late Nineties, probably as far back as '98 even, a tour was to promote a record. You'd take a lot of time to tour, people were selling so many records, you could go out and tour, and the tour was an advert for your record. Now it's the complete opposite. People aren't selling records, so to sell a record you've got to get as much marketing as possible from the record label, to sell tickets to your tour. Bands are touring much leaner, tying to squeeze as much money as they can out of T-shirts, and the gig itself is the main thing. There's no staying in expensive hotels, if they're staying in hotels at all. Those kind of things you are cutting back on, so you can eek a profit out of a tour. Which is totally doable, but you have to be real smart about what you're doing. eGigs.co.uk: Do you think it's hard for new bands than when you started out? Duff: I don't think it's harder; it's different. Shit, man, it was hard when I started out, it was punk rock days when I started — it was do it yourself. It's kind of like it was then. When I started touring and doing gigs in 1979, when I was 13, everything was do it yourself. There was no Internet, we didn't have e-mail where you can stay in contact with other kids in other towns. It was all phone booths, with coins, and you had a list of phone numbers of punk rock houses around the country and that's how you'd book a tour. You'd call the punk rock house and hopefully someone would answer, you know. Say who you are, and ask if there was a gig which hopefully you can play.

Thread: Mutal Aid
05-19-2000, 10:08 AM #1E21Firehouse.com Guest
Mutal Aid
Hi all,
I have a question about are mutal aid response. Are town has two Vol. depts. pop. of 13,500. We run approx 450 calls per station. Each dept has 3 engines 1ladder and 1 rescue with about 40 vols in each including officers. My question is on genral alarm calls should both depts be dispached to respond to the call. Its obvious if its a real fire and other dept. needs back up we would go, but most of the genral alarm calls end up being false (pot of food, burnt toast, ect). Now for fire alarm actavations we only dispach one dept. I say why not do that for the genral alarm until a working fire is declaried.
Just my opinion only and am intrested in what others think of this.
05-19-2000, 12:49 PM #2WOODMANFirehouse.com Guest
Damn I wished that I had that much equipment and people for the department that I am in.
But your answer I would just sent one company
or department as you call it. Better question
is how is your town broken up in regards to run areas, does each department cover a certin area or does both departments run on each call? Alittle more information on how the departments run would go a long to answering your question.
05-19-2000, 12:54 PM #3bob1350Firehouse.com Guest
My thinking would be for the first due-in engine to respond code 3, and have the second, or mutual aid engine to go enroute code 2. You certainly don't want to have to play catch up if the general alarm turns out to be the real thing. On another note, where do you get 40 volunteers at each station with a population of 13,500? I commend you on your recruitment!!
05-20-2000, 11:55 AM #4E21Firehouse.com Guest
we do have response districts. We use to responde together for AFA's too but now all we do together is genrals and working structures.
That pop. is an estimate that took place about 6 years ago, it could be even higher, we have had a lot of growth in 5 years here. belive it or not. This is a NY town right near NYC. lot of buissness people live here. It would not supprise me one bit to see the pop be 14,000 or more. Lot of houses being built here, left and right. And for personell well we have a jr program that does real well in getting the kids involved and getting them intrested so when they become of age they can join. Alot of are memmbers are 19-25 years old. The Jr. program is 8 years old, and almost all of the younger vols came from that program. Currently the Jrs have 10 memmbers and next month 3 more of them will be taking FF1 class.

Our fire alarms in my volunteer department send 2 engines code (closest ones), 1 aerial non-code outside its response area, & 1 duty chief.
After we have received ??? bad(false) type calls the business is billed for our wheels turning. It does not take long for the false calls to stop of for the fire systems to get the fixing/cleaning/repair that was needed.
This seems to work!!
Wow!! I wish our station (5) had that many of us to do the thing.
05-21-2000, 12:07 AM #6craig7404Firehouse.com Guest
We have a county wide fire district here with 16 VFD's in the county. Now on general fire calls only the closest department is dispatched, on all reported structure and MVA's the two closest departments are dipatched. All dispatches are based on the info the caller gives and the time of day that the call comes in.
Good Luck And Be Safe

we have 3 vol .compinies in a 9800 pop. town we have approx 20 active members in my company with 20 in one of the others and maybe 25 in the third.we all go to everything except wires and brush betweenn12am and 6 am.on local alarms we each send one engine (brush, car, trash ,investigate smoke)on all alarm sys, building, dwellings we all roll everything. we have 3 engines one other comp. has 2 engines and the third has 2 engines a rescue and a ladder and a light unit. with a chief and 2 asst for each company not to mention the boro district chief signing on the radio can be an adventure.the up side 3 minute dispatch to on location times . most jobs get kept to the room of origan unless its arson or there is a delay in repoting the fire . we average 160 calls with 3 workers a year. 2 companies are independents raising our own money . the town funds the ladder, rescue company

E21, what we have set up is that on all reported structure fires three departments are paged. The department where the fire is reported in and two nieghboring departments. One advantage to this if the fire is small and can be handled by the "host" department they can call us off or have one roll in and the other stage at thier department to cover any other alarms that may come in while they are out. All are units roll hot until notified differently. Usually by the first officer on scene. On fire alarms the two neighboring departments either start toward the call, on the quiet or stage in thier station until its determine if there is a working fire then we roll. If manpower permits each department rolls two engines and a squad or tankers depending on the call and location. I can't count how many times I heard someone say we were just about to run out of water when you guys showed up. It seems to be working fairly well and other departments and locations are starting to do the same. Some area departemnts I have heard have four and even five mutual aid departments responding on a reported structure fire. I don't know how this works for them but I guess if you are knee deep in it. It sure could'nt hurt.
06-04-2000, 09:30 PM #9FFTrainerFirehouse.com Guest
If you can get all your manpower and apparatus out the door, then you should be able to handle most jobs in your first due area. I would however suggest swinging at least an engine from the other house into yours for cover. Obviously there will be those jobs that require more depending on fire conditions, time of day, etc.
06-04-2000, 10:43 PM #10tiggerFirehouse.com Guest
Mutual aid may seem like a hassle, but it is way easier to cancel resources once you get on scene and realize you don't need them, than to get on scene, and realize, "OOPS! We need help!"
We respond mutual aid with a couple of agencies on some calls other than fires, (depending on the location), such as MVA's.
Sometimes, based on initial dispatch information taken from the caller, we order additional resources, to plan ahead.
Each department, of course, is different. Some are able to staff the apparatus quickly, while some have to wait for personnel.
These are my thoughts, not representing my district.
Be safe out there!
Pull to the Right for Sirens & Lights!

I Have to agree with bob1350 Have the first due respond at emergency speed and reduce the speed on the remaining units unless confirmation of work is made--- Another idea would be for one station to roll an engine first due and the other station to roll the ladder first due and respond the other units as needed at reduced or emergency speed based on the incident--- On wire and washdown calls and the like....One engine company would be sufficient but don't release the man-power left behind at the hall until you know this for sure

The B-Method is a state-based formal method that describes behaviour in terms of MACHINES whose states change under OPERATIONS. The process algebra CSP is an event-based formalism that enables descriptions of patterns of system behaviour. We present a combination of the two views where a CSP process acts as a control executive and its events simply drive corresponding OPERATIONS. We define consistency between the two views in terms of existing semantic models. We identify proof conditions which are strong enough to ensure consistency and thus guarantee safety and liveness properties.

This is an old art trade I did.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Deviantart is full of random nudity, some are just rl pix of the male/female genitalia, but overlooked, like a bunch of other shit in the world, but when it comes to something like this, they'll find someway of getting something against it. B|
I love this piece though, sexy, but not TOO sexy, just right. ;3
Rated 5 / 5 stars
You're allowed to portray nudity in Newgrounds. There's no restrictions on how far you can go like Deviantart.
