Navigating Jarmusch's lucid dream isn't the difficult part; its path is lined with the familiar.
Though Rotten Tomatoes may lead you to believe otherwise, The Limits of Control is Jim Jarmusch's finest offering in a decade. Fully diving into the abstract after that puzzling Broken Flowers ending, Jarmusch sets asides his usual influences (Yasujiro Ozu and Seijun Suzuki, to name a few) for a different batch. Think Jean-Pierre Melville by way of Alejandro Jodorowsky, with a little of Jacques Rivette's Céline and Julie Go Boating thrown in. Describing a film by what it reminds us of can sometimes be a dismissive act, but in The Limits of Control, Jarmusch invites these comparisons.
Tilda Swinton, clad in cowboy hat and white-blonde wig, explains to Isaach De Bankolé, the hero of the film who's credited simply as "Lone Man": "Movies are like dreams you're never really sure you've had." That line, which Jarmusch took from a speech Swinton gave at the San Francisco Film Festival in 2006, ushers the patient viewer, willing to allow the director his obsessions, into The Limits of Control. It is Jarmusch at his most coded, but it's still unmistakably him. Swinton's arrival into the film as the third of De Bankolé's visitors while on a covert mission in Spain is both the guiding light of the film and the point of surrender, in which you decide whether or not you want to accompany Jarmusch and De Bankloé on their journey. Jarmusch acknowledges the fundamental read of the film, as cryptic individuals enter and leave the film while actions and dialogue (particularly "¿Usted no habla español, verdad?" with which each of his visitors greet him) repeat themselves.
Navigating Jarmusch's lucid dream isn't the difficult part. Its path is lined with the familiar, from its cast (De Bankolé, Swinton, Bill Murray, Alex Descas, John Hurt and Youki Kudoh have all worked with the director in the past) to its implied (Point Blank) and declared (The Lady from Shanghai) cinematic affinities, which surface as both homages to other films and reflexive cues to the director's other work. The difficult part becomes assessing the sometimes arcane, occasionally misleading codes. De Bankolé's quest, we learn, ends with Bill Murray's character. Murray doesn't hide the fact that he's channeling Dick Cheney, and Jarmusch's doesn't, either, crediting him as simply "American." So what does De Bankolé's mission signify? Following the strict instruction of the men who delivered his assignment (Descas and Jean-François Stévenin), De Bankolé never speaks Spanish, despite the Jesus-in-the-desert-like temptation from all of his visitors. He sternly utters "no" when a group of children ask if he's an American gangster (it's possibly worth noting that Murray and Paz de la Huerta, as "Nude," are the only members of the cast from the United States). Each of these signs point toward a critical parable of America, or maybe a fantasy of retribution for the George W. Bush era. Putting the pieces together isn't a simple task.
Even those who see the film as critically indulgent and without reward would probably agree that, despite those feelings, Jarmusch's visual and musical tastes are as good as they've ever been. Like Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Neil Young, RZA and Mulatu Astatke before them, Japanese trio Boris and "doom metal" group Sunn O))), among others, provide the musical landscape for The Limits of Control, giving it an ambient, space-rock feel. Lauded cinematographer Christopher Doyle (In the Mood for Love) shot the film in various Spanish locales. The Limits of Control doesn't reach the awe of either Céline and Julie Go Boating or The Holy Mountain, but it's a significant work from Jarmusch, whose last two films, Coffee and Cigarettes and Broken Flowers, felt lazy and confused, respectively. No matter your disposition toward it, The Limits of Control is neither of those things. | Joe Bowman

In the store I went to apply my discount code for the 2014 shirt and in both Chrome & Safari the discount code isn't clickable to add text to. It acts as thought it isn't a text field.
Mac OS X 10.9.1
Chrome 32.0.1700.107
Safari 7.0.1 (9537.73.11)
Was just watching UPF and saw the new shirt. Went to order it and use my discount code. It wouldn't let me enter text in the discount text field on Chrome or Internet Explorer. Guess I'll just have to wait.
Yea I've been having the same issue. Can't choose shipping option either. I know Rorie was aware of all this when the shirt went live a couple days ago but I have no idea if it's supposedly been fixed or not.

I've been having the same problem. Trying to order the Asphalt XL Bombduders shirt, as well, and my page looks just like what @Kiruvi posted. Can't use my discount code or even complete the order. If I hover over the Shop Owner link under Shipping method, it says the weight for the shipment is 0.0 lbs, which...doesn't seem right.

@datarez: @kiruvi: @dvdwalker8: @seikenfreak: @krataur: This was an issue with Shopify and hopefully it should be resolved now. If it's still causing you issues, can you email email@example.com to let them know? Sorry for the trouble.

When it all hinges on one person, mistakes will happen.
Tammy was happy to be home with Cody who got a fresh outfit and a new pair of socks. Tammy Van Dyke gave birth to her second son, Cody, on Monday Dec. 3. On Wednesday, shortly before she was to take him home, she learned there had been a mixup overnight - someone had put Cody in the wrong bassinet, and he had been wheeled to another mother (who had given birth to twins) and was breast-fed for a short time before the other woman noticed the baby's hospital ID had Tammy's name on it. Thursday, December 6, 2012.
In June 2000, I gave birth to my son at Abbott Northwestern hospital. The day after his birth, an aide brought a baby boy from the hospital nursery and left him with me without checking the name on his tag against mine. After she left, when I went to nurse him, I realized just in time that she'd brought me the wrong baby.
I called urgently to the triage area, and the nurses intervened quickly to straighten out the mixup. In the aftermath, Abbott fired the aide who'd brought me the wrong baby, saying that this resolved the problem. The hospital's administrators missed the point -- they had a critical process that was wholly reliant on one person doing her job well -- and in my situation, it only took this one point of failure.
I pressed my concern with Abbott, but to no avail. I was sorry to hear about the mixup with Cody Van Dyke, and my heart goes out to all those who were affected ("Baby is brought to wrong mom for feeding," Dec. 7). I can't say, however, that I was surprised. What a difference 12 years haven't made.

To estimate the prevalence of sleep problems and the effect of potential correlates in low-income settings from Africa and Asia, where the evidence is lacking.
Community-wide samples from 8 countries across Africa and Asia participating in the INDEPTH WHO-SAGE multicenter collaboration during 2006-2007. The participating sites included rural populations in Ghana, Tanzania, South Africa, India, Bangladesh, Vietnam, and Indonesia, and an urban area in Kenya.
There were 24,434 women and 19,501 men age 50 yr and older.
Two measures of sleep quality, over the past 30 days, were assessed alongside a number of sociodemographic variables, measures of quality of life, and comorbidities. Overall, 16.6% of participants reported severe/extreme nocturnal sleep problems, with a striking variation across the 8 populations, ranging from 3.9% (Purworejo, Indonesia and Nairobi, Kenya) to more than 40.0% (Matlab, Bangladesh). There was a consistent pattern of higher prevalence of sleep problems in women and older age groups. In bivariate analyses, lower education, not living in partnership, and poorer self-rated quality of life were consistently associated with higher prevalence of sleep problems (P < 0.001). In multivariate logistic regression analyses, limited physical functionality or greater disability and feelings of depression and anxiety were consistently strong, independent correlates of sleep problems, in both women and men, across the 8 sites (P < 0.001).
A large number of older adults in low-income settings are currently experiencing sleep problems, which emphasizes the global dimension of this emerging public health issue. This study corroborates the multifaceted nature of sleep problems, which are strongly linked to poorer general well-being and quality of life, and psychiatric comorbidities.

Marquez and Hatton both called Maywather out and you say that Mayweather forced them to move up in weight ? Its a shame that you need to lie to discredit Mayweather . + Cotto , Margarito and Pacquiao never called Mayweather out . You are a real troll , this is how you **** a thread up . Mayweather moved up in weight to fight De La Hoya who came off a KO victory at his natural weight and Mayweather won the WBC World Super Welterweight title .

Well he is just about as old as Manny's recent opponents and judging from his last performance, he is on his way out too. The guy is desperate enough to go down to 150, I'm sure if he has another performance like he had with Barker he will get his shot.

Pregnant mom, 7 children die in Ontario house fire
A shocked community grieves over tragedy
By BILL MICHELMORE
Derek Gee/Buffalo News
Firefighters on Tuesday look for answers as they huddle outside the rubble of the West Lincoln, Ont., farmhouse that was destroyed in a fatal fire.
Associated Press
Monika Woerlen and her seven children pose for a family photo. The mother, who was pregnant, and her seven children perished in what was called Ontario's worst fire in more than a decade. Six bodies have been recovered, with two still missing.
WEST LINCOLN, Ont. - The deaths of a pregnant woman and her seven children in a house fire left this small farming community 30 miles west of Niagara Falls in a state of disbelief Tuesday as investigators searched for a cause.
Fire officials called it the worst blaze in Ontario in more than a decade.
"This is beyond imagination," said Ardeth Staz, superintendent of the school district where four of the children were educated.
The century-old farmhouse that burned to the ground late Monday had been listed for sale for several months, police said.
Six bodies had been recovered by late Tuesday and two were still unaccounted for but believed to be in the blackened ruins of the house, Pelham Fire Chief Scott McLeod said.
Killed in the blaze were Monika Woerlen, 39; and her children, Susanna, 11; Elena, 10; Marcus, 8; Samuel, 7; Paul, 5; Nathan, 3; and Debora, 19 months.
The father, Marc, 41, was in Ottawa, making plans for the family to move there, said Constable George Bench of Niagara Regional Police Service. The couple has family there, Bench said.
Marc Woerlen and family members from Ottawa were driving back to the Niagara Falls area Tuesday.
Fire consumed the house before anyone could escape, Bench said.
McLeod said any attempt to flee the burning house could not be determined from the location of the bodies.
"We just don't know what happened in the house," he said.
The first firefighters on the scene - noting the "for sale" sign out front and the eerie silence inside - said they thought the old farmhouse was abandoned.
The fire call came in at 11:20 p.m. Monday. The first units arrived 10 minutes later. More than 40 volunteer firefighters from the Pelham and West Lincoln departments battled the blaze at 3903 Concession Road Four, about three miles from the West Lincoln intersection of Highway 20 and Victoria Avenue.
Firefighters said the fire burned out of control for an hour until the two-story wood house collapsed into a smoldering heap of debris.
The bodies were taken to Hamilton General Hospital for post-mortem examinations. An investigation into the cause of the fire by the Ontario Fire Marshal's Office will take two or three days to complete, McLeod said.
Firefighters said it is unlikely the oil-heated farmhouse was equipped with any kind of fire alarm or smoke detectors.
Foul play is not suspected, McLeod said.
Neighbors along the country road spoke well of the Woerlen family.
"They were the nicest people you'd ever hope to meet," said John Ross, who also lives on Concession Road Four. "They were a very close family."
A few miles west of the house, on Highway 20 at Gainsborough Elementary School, shock and disbelief gripped classmates of four of the fire victims. Some of their fathers were among the firefighters who battled the blaze. "This is a horrific event in our small community," said Susan MacNeil, the principal. "They were wonderful children, and the students and staff here are devastated."
Grief counselors spent most of Tuesday talking to many of the 280 pupils, she said. All outside activities have been placed on hold for the next few days, but classes will continue.
"This will be a challenging time for the people at Gainsborough," MacNeil said, "but this is a very strong community, and we'll get through it together."

Another article I read had the Grandfather saying there were smoke alarms all over the home..........although no mention of whether they were operable or not. There is no excuse for something like this happening. And without an escape plan, no one could ever hope to get so many children from a home during a crisis. In Ontario, smoke alarms are law. I know public education campaigns by the Office of the Fire Marshal as well as area Fire Departments are ongoing all the time. Another example of the "can't happen to me" mentality. Due to the extensive damage we will probably never know a cause.
My thoughts are with the firefighters in these communities, some of whom I know personally. A tragic loss........a senseless lossIACOJ

Sleep with angels, sweet children :(
City mourns Ont. mom, 7 kids who died in fire
CTV.ca News Staff
A church in St. Catharines was filled with the happy voices of seven Ontario children who perished in a house fire earlier this week, as the tribute video made by one of their uncles was played at their funeral service Saturday.
Laughing and smiling, the children chat happily in front of the camera, then several of them take turns waving goodbye.
"The video absolutely just tears you up. They were such happy, happy children; they all achieved scholastically, in sports," Monika's sister Julia Jansen told the Globe and Mail. "They were big, solid kids, farm kids."
Jansen said she and her sister were like twins, their birthdays separated only by 13 months. When Jansen had twin girls, she named them Monique and Juliette, the French translation of their two names.
A row of white caskets lined the front of the church during the service. Floral arrangements were arranged on top, brightening the sad, long row of coffins.
The family's seven children ranged in age from 19 months to 11 years. They are: Susanna, 11; Elena, 10; Marcus, 8; Samuel, 7; Paul, 5; Nathan, 3; and Debora Lynn, 19 months.
In a final act of fatherly affection, the smallest coffin belonging to little Debora Lynn was carried in by Marc Woerlen, the toddler's grief-stricken father.
About one thousand people filled the pews for the service to remember Monika Woerlen and her seven children. They died in a house fire on Monday.
Woerlen, 39, was also pregnant with her eighth child. Monika's husband Marc Woerlen was in Ottawa at the time of the fire. He's expected to do a reading and play a hymn on his trumpet.
Touching Tributes
Monika's 10 brothers sang a hymn at Saturday's funeral. Susan McNeil, principal of the children's school in Bismarck, Ontario, said "the Woerlen children played energetically, and in harmony with all those around them."
They "demonstrated an awareness of others' needs, well beyond their years." Sammy was known for taking the time to play with special needs students. Classmates were eager to call Samantha their friend. Marcus was the athlete, always ready to congratulate fellow competitors on a strong performance.
Monika's father Fred van Stralen said she was the first child for himself and wife Millie. He remembered holding his tiny newborn daughter in his hand. "I could balance her on my hand, it was unbelievable."
To his grieving son-in-law, he said, "Marc, God with strengthen you. He said this morning, 'There was a woman that melted my heart without words,' straight from his heart. I know God is going to bless you for that."
Marc spoke at the service as well, choking up as he called his wife "a living sacrifice." He lost his composure for a moment as he thanked his wife for the seven children she provided him.
On the funeral program, an excerpt from the Wisdom of Solomon is printed on the back. In reads: "Being perfected in a short time, they fulfilled long years; for their souls were pleasing to the Lord, therefore He took them quickly from the midst of wickedness."
Following the service, the eight coffins were taken to a nearby cemetary for burial.
Autopsies show the eight died of smoke inhalation. Investigators haven't released the cause of the fire, but say it seems the blaze started in the living room.
The family lived in a 100-year-old house. It's not known if it was equipped with smoke detectors.
Investigators wrapped up their search of the charred rubble on Friday. They likely won't announce the cause of the fire for another two weeks.
Foul play is not suspected, but a fireplace in the living room is being looked at as a possible source, as is a wood stove in the basement.
Marc Woerlen has been staying at his father's home, down the road from the site of his former house.September 11th - Never Forget
I respect firefighters and emergency workers worldwide. Thank you for what you do.

Grief, tears as mother, seven children killed in house fire are mourned
Colin Perkel
Canadian Press
November 13, 2004
ST. CATHARINES, Ont. (CP) - Monika Woerlen was a "living sacrifice" who devoted her life to family, her grieving husband told the almost 1,000 mourners who gathered at a funeral service Saturday to honour the 39-year-old mother and her seven children who died in a house fire last week.
Fighting back tears, Marc Woerlen described how his wife braved severe back pain from a sports injury suffered in her youth to give birth to their children.
"She willingly gave herself to pain to bring forth seven wonderful children," he said, his voice cracking. "She was a living sacrifice.
"Thank you, Monika, for your example to me and to the rest of the world," he added. "Our wonderful seven children were always a gift from heaven. The joy we shared from the breakfast table to the goodnight hugs and kisses will spur me on in faithfulness until eternity."
Hundreds of mourners filled a church in St. Catherines for the funeral service, remembering the woman and children whose lives ended when fire tore through their century-old rural southwestern Ontario home last Monday.
As the service began, hushed congregants watched a seven-minute memorial video of the victims, their smiling, sometimes impish faces appearing over the row of eight white coffins offset by bouquets of flowers that stretched the length of the podium.
Monika Woerlen and her children, ranging from 19 months to 11 years old, were asphyxiated in the blaze that left firefighters, who had rushed to the scene in vain, sobbing.
Her husband was in Ottawa on business at the time.
Speaking at the funeral, Marc Woerlen praised the police, firefighters and the coroner for their "tremendous service."
"We cannot comprehend what has happened," Max Woerlen, Monika's father-in-law, said as he thanked those who had shown so much support to the grieving family.
"These virtuous rivers of compassion and care must now continue."
Monika Woerlen's father, Fred Van Stralen, also spoke of the incredible response to the "depth of the tragedy, which is unspeakable."
Condolences, he said, had poured in from the community and around the world, calling it overwhelming.
"Her memory is precious," he said of his daughter.
In the first five rows, about 80 immediate family members, some from as far as Oslo, Norway, watched and listened as the video played scenes of a joyful family doing ordinary things: swimming, making crafts, laughing, rocking a baby, acting goofy.
It ended with the words, "Until God calls me home, and I can hold you again in my aching arms."
During the service, most of Woerlen's 14 siblings sang a hymn, a gently harmonious affirmation of faith - "Nearer, my God, to thee."
Pastor Jether Vinson praised Woerlen as a devoted and devout wife and selfless mother who stayed home to nurture her young ones, all of whom perished in the dreadful blaze.
When God called her children home, she was right there with them," said Vinson, adding the family was now sleeping with their Father in heaven.
"There is not one tear that He does not share."
Susan McNeil, principal of Gainsborough Public School in nearby Bismarck, Ont., said the Woerlen children were shining examples of sharing who always had words of encouragement for other students.
She read brief notes of praise from classmates, one describing them as "the nicest kids in our school."
Following the service, the coffins were to be taken to a nearby cemetary for burial.Last edited by RspctFrmCalgary; 11-13-2004 at 02:21 PM.

I got my motor in today (4400kv). Kind'a strange, I had to put spacers between the motor and where it mounts to the heli.The shaft on this motor is a touch LONGER, and the diameter is bigger around. I haven't noticed a "super" improvement over the 3800kv, but there is an improvement and raw punch out power is very noticable....no bogging at all under the 3000/30c battery. Now I need to get it out door. |
GREETINGS Y'all
my PC is back in the house, working (after a fashion). The hit it took from a TrojanHorse was major and the necessary fixes were just as major. As a result I have a brand new system that is now "basically" working. Each individual component has to be "reset" , passwords need re-worked, the whole thing is a major project for which I have no patience so it goes rather slow. I had a conversation with the tech. who spent the greater part of yesterday here in the house : I am considering living the rest of my life WITHOUT a computer, it seems to me that the coveniences are far outweighed by the threats, shutdowns, attacks that these system have to go through. I have been hit TWICE with Identity Theft. The first one for 13K $ took months of work, and now this..... So I may revert to the simpler life : paying my bills with a cheque and mailing in an envelope, with a stamp. JUST TIRED, I GUESS..... I don't much like the world, the way it is now. the major oral surgery I went through last Monday doesn't improve my spirit too much, either. vented : moving on : RICK |
Hey Rick! You ain't going to go anywhere on us! Remember, when life gives you lemons, make some lemonade! Glad you are back on line and visiting here. With your PC, just be SURE you are running a firewall and an anti virus program. Also, stay away from sites you aren't familiar with and you will be fine!
You are an inspiration, Rick and it's great to see youback on line! Jim |

Hang in there, life has it's ups and downs...mine too is on a DOWN right now.....at the total down side of a sine wave....so soon I should start the upward trend. This hasen't been exactly a stellar year for ANY of us by a stretch, but Jay got a kiss of luck with the employment thing, I'm thrilled for him. I'm sure if he was off work much longer, his wife would have dumped him in a dark swamp someplace
I got my new battery AND new motor yesterday for the helicopter. Last night I took it out to hover in the dark. The tail was indexing BADLY back and forth and I know it means either servo or gyro I bench tested today, it's gyro for sure. Now I'm gonna order a GY48 from heli direct, I think the GY401B's are trash now....Even the E-Sky headlocking gyro is better than a GY401B anymore. Still working on the 1/4 scale each day. The cabane struts are comming out great now, they should be completed by Friday. Need to order hinges and start installing servos, flight control surfaces and what not. I'm moving as fast as I can....which isn't FAST. |
If you ever need computer help let me know and Ill try to help. Remote access is also a option for helping. Also if your biggest problem is getting alot of viruses and spyware a Apple iMac might be a better computing solution. |

My brother in law bought an Apple. A little more pricy BUT way more secure and runs faster than a windows based IBM clones. I've found using firewall and using medium high security is the most effective. I have any file/printer sharing turned off as well, no files are marked as share files.....I dont have any problems at all other than hardware failing because of age. I finally got an upgraded desktop with a modern monitor, so the laptop is back upstairs connected to the desktop in the basement for internet. I finally have computers in the house made after 2005...LMAO.
Hey Rick,
Good to have you back. You are running a good virus protection program, right? I have Trendmicro's PCillian. I think I upgrade once a year for $50 but I have never had any problems with viruses. My Dad uses AVG which is a free download. The scaler itch grows stronger with every drop in temperature degree God Bless BOB's! Jay |
Hi Guys, I have been working on a project that I will show you on completion.
In Heli news I got the training gear today, so the T-Rex is back in play. And we just started a 4 day winter storm. I figure I can use the time to work on plane wrecks. I just had a thought, if I am using this training gear, can I leave my portable LZ on the porch? Back to the lab. Fern |

Hi ya Rick,
Sorry about the trip to the dentist and all. Hard telling which is worse, going to the dentist or having computer problems. Computer problems can give you headaches for weeks on end. About a year ago, I had so much trouble with my computer, I threw it in the trash and got an e-machine from Wal-mart for $298, End of headache. I don't need one of those fancy ones, I just browse forums, doing banking and store pictures. Worst case scenerio, if you decide to dump your computer next go around, just go to the local library and use theirs, it's free. Glad to see your back.. Now just get youself a nice glass of wine, and a piece of cheese and listen to your favorite music. I'm a Mozart and Gershiwn kinda guy. Never liked the rap crap. Dave |
decision time : I am one phone call away from CANCELLING my TV service, the Internet connection and the PHONE LAND LINE. I will keep the Crickett local cell-fone and be free from all this newfangled load of crap that is forced on me : = $$$ .... total Xpense: $ 36.00 for a fone connection that I NEVER USE !
I am at a point where I cannot stand the whole world the way it is. Books are good enough for my entertainment. |
God Bless You Rick. Jay |
Sometimes it's just best to walk away from a situation for awhile, to give you time to regroup and reconsider. Happens to all of us from time to time. As mentioned in my earlier post, go to the library and use their internet and let them get the virus. LMAO! Your paying for it with your tax dollars anyways. Love ya Rick, and God Bless, Dave |

Puppy Bowl VI
I can't stand football so even if I had cable I wouldn't watch that torture. In fact, not even the ads could lure me to it. Instead, I might have tuned into the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet to watch those little monsters romping and tumbling around their miniature football field. This time, I'll just have to settle for this year's pre-game highlights. Oh, and for those who prefer cats, there's always the Kitty Half-time Show.

I am with you! I could care less about football. It is such a long drawn out game. Thanks for posting about the Puppy Bowl. I had forgotten about it. I love watching that stuff with Barkley. He will spend the whole time trying to figure out how to get the puppies out of the tv. It is really much more funny to see than football!
ReplyDeleteIt's become tradition at my dad's house to watch the puppy bowl. I don't get it. Yes, they're cute. But seriously? Over an hour or whatever the hell it is watching them play???? NO THANK YOU.
I lost that argument, by the way. The puppy bowl was on and they watched. I'm pretty sure I put a new wrinkle on my forehead by looking confused at all the fuss.

I've been making this pie for years (got the recipe from a Boston cookbook) and it is on the table EVERY Thanksgiving. I add 1 tsp. of almond flavoring to it for extra flavoring. It's easy to make and a great hit with everyone who tastes it!
My husband has been on a big cranberry kick lately so I made this at Thanksgiving and I thought he was going to eat the whole thing. Definitely put a pan under the pie pan as it will bubble over and mess up your stove, but it is so worth it.
I love this recipe. It is so easy and quick to make. I did not have pecans so I used chopped almonds and I forgot to add vanilla as other reviewers suggested and it was still excellent. I ate 3 peices in a row while it was still warm. I absolutely love the crust and the cranberries were not too sweet or tart. I will make this one of my regular recipes as long as cranberries are at the supermarket or in my freezer. Thank you for such a wonderfull recipe!

Experience curves in services: macro and micro level approaches
UNSPECIFIED (2000) Experience curves in services: macro and micro level approaches. In: 5th International Conference of the European-Operations-Management-Association, UNIV DUBLIN, TRINITY COLL, DUBLIN, IRELAND, JUN, 1998. Published in: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF OPERATIONS & PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT, 20 (7). pp. 842-859.
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Evaluates the benefits ai ld problems of applying the experience curve ill two very different service organisations. The first case shows how an experience curve has been calculated at a macro (organisation) level for British Airways over a 20 year period, including the time at which it was privatised. The second example shows an application over the first of operation of a high-volume paperwork processing operation within a financial services organization. These studies demonstrate that experience curves can be applied to great effect in high volume service organisations, but a single measure of output needs to be established. The paper also shows how different phases and rates sof learning may be linked to organizational and technological change, and discusses how an experience curve might be used to monitor improvement and establish future cost-related performance objectives.

Welcome, little one... part 4Spike was afraid. White Whirl was such a tiny, fragile thing, it seemed like the slightest puff of smoke would blow her away. The wisps of rainbow mane floated in the breeze, having a life of their own. Whirly looked up at the strange creature that filled her vision. It didn't seem to be dangerous, this purple smiling face.For one endless moment the two very different creatures stared at each other. Spike came even closer, fascinated by the baby. Then the silence was broken by a shocked yelp of pain.Whirly clung to Spike's nose, gurgling happily. She didn't know who this purple face was, but it was hers now. Her newest, bestest toy was whimpering, fighting the instinct to rip off whatever was attached to his nose."Cloud! Heelp!""I'm here, Spike! Whirly, let go!"Cloud pulled on the little foal, who was surprisingly strong. Giving up on forcing the baby to let go, she whisked away, grabbing toys from the floor.

Straight to Video
How will you use next-generation Web TV to reinvent your business?
When CEO Tom Dickson first fired up his low-cost camera to record what happens when you throw a wooden rake handle, among other things, into one of his Blendtec blenders, he had no idea that within days he'd be an Internet superstar. Between YouTube and the company's willitblend.com, viewers have watched these extreme experiments more than 75 million times. His blenders are the ones whirring at Starbucks, but Will It Blend? is what juiced online retail sales more than 500% in the last year.
I can't promise you the same kind of results—Dickson's a funny guy and blending an iPhone or a Chuck Norris action figure is catnip for Web-video addicts. But you don't need a shtick to use video successfully, just a story. The future of Web video extends beyond funny shorts to include live broadcasting as well as interactive apps. The rapid proliferation of video tools reveals several trends that enterprising businesses should learn to exploit in addition to using YouTube, still the big kahuna of the field. Everything discussed below is free to use, although many of these services are in alpha or beta mode and may require an invitation or company approval before experimenting.
Streaming video: Build your own live TV network whenever you need one. There are a ton of tools that let you do this; my current favorite, Mogulus, supports multiple cameras, graphics, and even recorded video if you aren't broadcasting live. (Others to consider are Qik, blogTV, and Kyte.) What would you do with your own network? I used it to report live from the floor of the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Companies should have been shooting the action in their booths, so employees or fans of the firm could vicariously share in the excitement.
Cell-phone video: I shot my CES experience using my
Global video: Even if you, like me, speak only English, you can reach customers in, say, Japan, Germany, or Russia using an amazing tool called dotSub. It will add captions to your videos, which can then be translated into dozens of languages. Last year's Pop!Tech conference used dotSub for its live Web video.
Email video: What's the worst part of email? Wondering if the sender is being sarcastic or not. Eyejot brings the eye roll and every other face-to-face nuance to personalized video emails. If your business is on Facebook, it offers a similar service.
Interactive video: Watch the videos over at Asterpix.com, and your mind will race with possibilities. With Asterpix, you can add clickable hot spots to clips. Click on one and open another video or a Web page. This is really great stuff for building how-to videos, because viewers can get the basics in one video or go deep for more detail. I also like how Asterpix lets you display new information next to the video while it runs on your Web site. No matter which services you choose, the most important point is simply to use video. Too many companies don't have clips showing their products, their philosophies, or simple news announcements by their CEOs. Business is a conversation, and video is increasingly how that conversation takes place.

To my Jihi.org team: reminder that we need to hop on the creation of a great short video to present JIHI.
To all my friends: Do you have any talent to suggest to support us in this endeavor, we would like to create a short video clip to introduce our micro-donation platform jihi.org...
(old post resurrected from my FastCo "article suggestion" account, but still hot)
But, as with all tech, the businesses that figure it out the earliest have a competitive advantage over their competitors.
Good post, but as always, unless its essential, busnesses are always slow to catch up with technology.

Today we have the opportunity to check out a brand probably not known by many, Xtreme Gear. Those who might know this brand probably know them for their computer systems. Xtreme Gear also makes a range of CPU Coolers, one of which we have to review today. The Xtreme Gear HP-1216B CPU Cooler is a powerful cooler which supports up to two 120mm fans (one blue included) and all newer processors. The best part is that it's quite affordable. Read on further to see how well it performed.

April 2008 Ken and I finally found this cemetery. You have to park on the road, walk across a field, walk across a CREEK (shallow thank goodness) and up a steep hill! It is quite a HIKE! Luckily the hill has a wide path cleared off to make way for an underground gas line AND the bright orange stake marking the gas line at the top of the hill is where the cemetery is, just off the path the east about 20foot. We took photos of all tombstones there. Interested in a tombstone photo? Drop me a line! |

India needs another Green Revolution: Kalam
Laguna (Philippines), February 5 His comments came as the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) here announced it was developing new high-yield rice hybrids to suit Indian conditions by being drought and flood-tolerant. Interacting with top scientists of the institute, the visiting President said Indian agriculture faced three main challenges in the time ahead: first, area under wheat and rice cultivation is estimated to come down from 17 crore hectares to 10 crore hectares by 2020, secondly irrigation water shortage and thirdly decline in the number of people in farming. "We need a second Green Revolution whereby the farmers are taken from seed-to-grain stage involved in processing of rice and value addition. The new seeds should also match the soil condition and require less water," Kalam said. "We should see that they (farmers) do not stop at grain production and go through the process of agro-food processing," the President said, pointing out that "I'm a farmer's son." Kalam said the farming community was not happy about stagnation in production whereas India needed to double its food grain output from 20 crore tonnes in the next 14 years. After interacting with IRRI scientists, the President went round the Institute's complex and saw the different experiments it is conducting in coming out with high-yielding and nutrition-rich rice varieties. He visited the experiment sites on the lush green plains of Laguna province overlooking a row of blue mountains and shook hands with a dozen farmers who were pleasantly surprised by his gesture. The President did not seem to mind the slush-filled hands of the farmers who were transplanting rice. The Indian imprint on the IRRI, set up in 1960, is quite evident as scientists fondly remembered that internationally-reputed agriculture scientist M. S. Swaminathan had served as its Director General for six years from 1982 and India is the largest financial contributor to the Institute with $ 150,000 million per year, a figure which is set to go up soon. India has so far contributed $ 1.5 million to IRRI. Mahbub Hossain, head of IRRI's Social Sciences Division, said the Institute hoped to address in another five years the problem of about ten per cent loss estimated at $ 1.2 billion of rice production worldwide due to drought. "In another five years, we hope we will be able to address this problem," the economist from Bangladesh associated with IRRI for the past 14 years told PTI. Hossain said several genes have been shown to confer improved drought tolerance in rice. The IRRI and its partners have identified lines and hybrids that yield at least 50 per cent more under stress than widely grown varieties such as "Swarna" and IR-36 varieties in India.
Kalam experiences simulated temblor
Manila, February 5 It was a different kind of experience for scientist Kalam who visited the Philippines Institute of Volcanic and Seismological Studies. The Philippines, prone to quakes and volcano eruptions, has 52 volcanoes of which 13 are active.
Crash, Brokeback win top awards
Los Angeles, February 5 Crash, which looks at racial tension in Los Angeles from the points of view of different ethnic groups, won the best original screenplay award from the Writers Guild of America for its writers Paul Haggis and Bobby Moresco yesterday. Brokeback Mountain, about a love affair between a pair of lonesome cowboys that spanned decades, earned Diana Ossana and Larry McMurtry best adapted screenplay honours from the guild. Moresco said he felt humbled to be honoured by his peers. To say our script is any one bit better than the others is nuts, he said. Its not a competition, and we all know it. Likewise, Ossana took note of all the scripts and writers competing for awards and said she felt honored just to be in the same stellar company as the others. The guild awards are widely watched in Hollywood because many of their members also belong to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which gives out the Oscars on March 5. Together, Crash and Brokeback have scooped up many of the top honors from Hollywoods professional groups.

Maoist strike paralyses life in Nepal
Kathmandu, February 5 The seven-party Opposition alliance and two pro-King parties have also decided to boycott the February 8 polls despite the government's assurance of providing "reliable security." Schools, colleges and markets were closed, most of the factories did not operate and public and private vehicles were off the road despite mobilisation of all security agencies, including army and the police, by the government to foil the strike. Long route buses also did not operate due to the strike. In Kathmandu, the government took licences and even keys of hundreds of buses and taxis on the eve of the strike and threatened to take action against those drivers who did not defy the Maoists' strike, but very few vehicles could be seen on the road with their number plates covered due to the fear of Maoist reprisal. Security personnel were heavily deployed in the capital Kathmandu with the government claiming that the security forces would reach within five minutes in case of any attack on candidates.
Snoring can break up a marriage
Washington, February 5 Rosalind Cartwright, PhD, founder of the Sleep Disorders Center, said studies had revealed that couples who struggle with sleep apnea have a higher record of broken marriages. This is a frequent problem within marriages that nobody is paying enough attention to. Can we save marriages by treating sleep apnea? It's a question we hope to answer," she said. The Married Couples Sleep Study will be based on the evaluation of 10 couples in which the male has been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea. As a part of the study, couples answer surveys about sleepiness, marriage satisfaction, and quality of life. They then spend the night in the sleep lab where technicians determine each partners quality and quantity of sleep. Following two weeks of treatment, the diagnostic tests and surveys are repeated. Dr Cartwright said preliminary results had shown that sleep apnea does indeed put a strain on a marriage. "Our early results are showing that the wife's sleep is indeed deprived due to the husband's noisy nights. This is not a mild problem. The lack of sleep for both partners puts a strain on the marriage and creates a hostile and tense situation," said Cartwright.
God may have to surrender his drivers licence
Reading (USA), February 5 The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation told Paul Sewell in a letter on Tuesday that he would have to turn over the licence if he didnt provide his birth certificate and Social Security card to the agency by February 14. The letter came less than a week after the Berks County Elections Board questioned Sewells God signature on a voter registration form. Sewell on Friday asked a Berks County court to intervene in the PennDOT matter. The department does not cite a reason in the letter and a spokeswoman declined comment. State law requires a driver to write his usual signature on the licence. The law also states the department can cancel a license if the licensee was not entitled to it, if the person failed to give required or correct information, if the person committed fraud in obtaining the license or if the license has been materially altered.

How do you know you have HIV? |
What are the first noticeable, alarming symptons that indicate HIV infection? I might have swallowed some blood May of 2006 but haven't had any symptoms of anything... Dr. D is right. You generally won't show any symptoms related to HIV until you're already pretty sick. Get tested. Here's a site that will tell you your nearest testing center: If you notice symptoms of infection..chances are you are already VERY close to hitting the AIDS marker. The "'ONLY" way to know is to get tested- you'll know when you get tested and the doc tells you whether you are or you aren't You need to get tested for HIV. HIV will not show any significant symptoms early. If you are positive for the antibodies, a western blot test will confirm with Hiv antigens. If the Western blot comes out indeterminate, a pcr test checking for Hiv virus needs to be done. Huh? You 'might' have? What is AIDS? |

Did you ever notice that Harry Potter is an orphan? Aladdin too. Pippi Longstocking has no mother and her father is always traveling. Yes, almost every hero of a children's book is an orphan. Why do the authors of these myths on which we were raised separate the child from his parents? Are they implying that a child cannot grow and blossom next to his mother and father?
Did you feel you were allowed to enjoy life in your parents' home? That you were allowed to revel in who you were? That you could be what you wanted and express what you felt? If you didn't feel protected and accepted in your parents' home, the good news is that you're not alone. The bad news is that many, many children feel alone when they are home with their father or mother.
We can change that.
Miraculous Parenting presents a new perspective on life with children. The book was written for parents who wish to feel excited about their parenting, who are ready to ask difficult questions about the fundamental principles of their parents and the culture in which we all were raised. The book is meant for people who choose to build a home for their children on completely new foundations: full acceptance, honestly, closeness and complete trust, no threats, no "instilling boundaries", no punishment, no treating the people who are so dear to us as creatures who must be molded and taught what is good for them.
Every one of us has a damaged pattern of love that we learned and adopted from our parents, which we have let go, on some level, during our lives. Everyone has a deep knowledge, a simple connection, that exists within him—to the pattern of complete love, one that is not distorted, one that does not contain fear or control, one that he wishes with his whole being to give to his children.
It hurts to see that in most families, even after over a hundred and twenty years of Western psychology, parenting is a mundane series of motions at best, and a despairingly heavy task at worst. Deep introspection and willingness to see what is really happening there—between child and parent—allows parenting to become what it was meant to be: a wide opening through which love flows.
As parents, we can connect daily hardships with the requests that arise from deep within our children's being—and ours. The hardships our children bring into our lives are meant to turn our attention inward, to who we really are. Behaviors, illnesses and habits that present difficulty to us and to our children are not a problem to be somehow solved so we can just go on with our lives.
These hardships are our children's attempts to stop us, to awaken us, so we can look at ourselves, our choices and our motivating beliefs. To identify what old component of our identity no longer suits our new lives with our children. This perspective turns every hardship into an opportunity for growth.
Since "The Continuum Concept", there has been no book that addresses the connection between the parents' personal development as adults and their own parents. This need still exists. It even continues to grow, but there is virtually no response in literature.
This book was born out of "field-work". For 18 years, the author facilitated thousands of personal consultations, courses and workshops in which he both learned and taught a new language, a forgotten language, that is so easy to learn, because it comes from within, from the free children that we were. Every hardship at home is an exciting opportunity to get closer to our children, an opportunity to strengthen the thread of love and trust that binds us, that gives both parents and children the sense of home without which it is very, very hard to breathe.
We are here
Between the old and the new.
Between our parents—and our children.
Between "there's no choice" and the miracle of the freedom to choose.
Between the limitations we've collected and adopted
And the opportunities that are what we truly are.

Reviewed Feb. 22, 2011
"I made this salad with a slight variation simply because of what I had on hand. It was easy to reduce portions to 1/4 for the two of us. I omitted the celery and added carrots and cherry tomatoes. We really liked the tang to the dressing, it was not overly sweet, and it suits our taste since we like a lot of German food with the cabbage and vinegar combination. It was super simple to prepare as a last minute salad. I would probably add some chopped garlic to the dressing next time."

These shoes are gorgeous with just about any outfit! The heel height is perfect to give some height yet I could still easily wear for many hours....comfortable! For me, they seem to run a bit big, possibly a half size....I ordered online, but fit is still good and not worth returning and finding the half size smaller is too small (it's that close).

Quest:Morrowgrain Research (Horde, 1)
this wiki
Morrowgrain Research | |
Start | Arch Druid Hamuul Runetotem |
End | Bashana Runetotem |
Level | 50 Requires Level 47 |
Experience | 675 XP or 44 at Level 90 |
Reputation | +10 Thunder Bluff |
Rewards | 20x [Packet of Tharlendris Seeds] |
Previous | Un'Goro Soil (Horde) |
Next | Morrowgrain Research (Horde, 2) |
Morrowgrain Research is the 1st quest in the Morrowgrain Research quest chain.
[show]Objectives Edit
Take the Seed Voucher to Bashana Runetotem in Thunder Bluff.
- [Seed Voucher] (Provided)
Description Edit
With what we call an Evergreen Pouch, we have cultivated Tharlendris seeds in the soil from Un'Goro Crater. These seeds have blossomed into an array of random, potent herbs. One result is morrowgrain, a mysterious herb we know little about; I very much hope to unravel this mystery for the Circle. Take this voucher over to my daughter Bashana, and she will give you some seeds so you may assist us. If you run out, you will need to purchase more from her.
Peace unto you, friend. You are here on business from the Arch Druid himself, yes?
Yes, this voucher is good for twenty packets of seeds. If you run out of seeds, I do have more that I am able to sell to you. Unfortunately <name>, Tharlendris seeds are quite costly to produce in significant numbers. This is why the Cenarion Circle asks that those who are assisting us help out by offsetting some of the cost. Those who return with morrowgrain find that the reward the Arch Druid offers far makes up for the cost.
Upon completion of this quest you will gain:
- 675 XP (or 4 20 at level 70)
- +10 reputation with Thunder Bluff

Jebel Barkal or Gebel Barkal (Arabic: جبل بركل) is a very small mountain located some 400 km north of Khartoum, in Karima town in Northern State in Sudan, on a large bend of the Nile River, in the region called Nubia. The mountain is 98 m tall, has a flat top, and apparently was used as a landmark by the traders in the important route between central Africa, Arabia, and Egypt, as the point where it was easier to cross the great river. In 2003, the mountain, together with the historical city of Napata (which sits at its feet), were named World Heritage Sites by UNESCO.
Around 1450 BCE, the Egyptian Pharaoh Thutmose III extended his empire to that region and considered Gebel Barkal its southern limit. There, he campaigned near the city of Napata that, about 300 years later, became the capital of the independent kingdom of Kush. The 25th Dynasty Nubian king Piye later greatly enlarged the New Kingdom Temple of Amun in this city and erected his Year 20 Victory stela within it.
The ruins around Gebel Barkal include at least 13 temples and 3 palaces, that were for the first time described by European explorers in the 1820s. In 1862 five inscriptions from the Third Intermediate Period were recovered by an Egyptian officer and transported to the Cairo Museum, but not until 1916 were scientific archeological excavations performed by a joint expedition of Harvard University and the Museum of Fine Arts of Boston under the direction of George Reisner.[1] From the 1970s, explorations continued by a team from the University of Rome La Sapienza, under the direction of Sergio Donadoni, that was joined by another team from the Boston Museum, in the 1980s, under the direction of Timothy Kendall. The larger temples, such as that of Amun, are even today considered sacred to the local population.
Jebel Barkal served as a royal cemetery during the Meroitic Kingdom.[2] The earliest burials date back to the 3rd century BC.
- Bar. 1 King from the middle of the 1st century BCE
- Bar. 2 King Teriqas (ca. 29-25 BCE)
- Bar. 4 Queen Amenirenas ? (1st century BCE)
- Bar. 6 Queen Nawidemak (1st century BCE)
- Bar. 7 King Sabrakamani? (3rd century BCE)
- Bar. 9 King or Queen of the early 2nd century CE
- Bar. 11 King Aktisanes or Aryamani (3rd century BCE)
- Bar. 14 King Aktisanes or Aryamani (3rd century BCE)
- Bar. 15 King Kash[…] ?(3rd century BCE)

I did not like the movie. The plot was as you said choppy and the dialog was uninspiring. This film either is one people like or hate. I certainly was the latter. Okay I have to admit that Jennifer Connally is hot and the seen with her and the other girl was pretty hot and heavy, but when a film maker has to resort to an incongruent lesbian sex scene to get your interest things are bad. And by the way that part was unneccessary, I mean don't get me wrong sex and nudity have a place as artistic tools. But that was not artistic on any level, it was near porn.
Good Job on referencing Perfect Blue though, mean the director was not affraid to use some scenes from anime.

I'm just curious if the author knows the (recent, not original) origin of the term "spray and pray".
The data for 500 Startups is also shockingly out of date. They've invested in well over 500 companies as of now--more than triple the number reflected in the graph.
The number for follow-on funding for YC startups that you got from Seed DB must have been old. The current number is $2.106 billion.
Incidentally, I don't think Tufte would approve of that use of the broken line in the graph. You'd have done better to use a log scale.
I'm not sure I agree it's a winner-takes-all market. Perhaps that is true for "generalist" accelerators, and certainly YCombinator and TechStars are becoming hotter (and more exclusive) by the moment.
But we at Foundersuite.com work closely with around 40 accelerators, and are seeing some really interesting ones sprout up that are vertically-focused; for example, AlphaLab.org in Pittsburgh (hardware and robotics), Boost.vc (bitcoin startups), AlchemistAccelerator.com (B2B enterprise software), RockHealth.com (healthcare) and others.
I think this will be the way this market thrives-- by narrowly focusing on niche segments, and by bringing in relevant-yet-specialized mentors and expertise.

Mendoza: Enter Crazy Drunk Parents
Trip Start
Aug 09, 2007
Trip End
Jul 29, 2008
Our first priority was - obviously - booking our wine tours. We signed on with a great tour first thing the next morning. It was small (us 5, a couple from Brazil and a lady from California with a big hat and a flair for picking out all those plum and essences of vanilla from the wine), and we had a fantastic tour guide. We visited 4 amazing wineries, all staffed by charismatic and friendly guides as well. It was a really great experience. The first winery we saw was one of the first wineries to be established in the Mendoza region, don't remember the name but there was this old lock on the label so that must count for something. We actually met the winery owner as well (if not briefly) but it was really nice, very classy (like us). The next place we stopped into was much newer, more modern and had more whites for tasting as well. Our third winery included a delicious 5 course lunch with an outta-this-world dulce de leche dessert...wowwww. Each course was paired with a fantastic wine as well. Finally, we went to our last boutique winery for the day. By this point, I don't think any of us were paying much attention to what anyone was instructing us to do - we just found our own way to the bar when it was time for the tastings (which were very generous at all 4!). Also, to back up our claim of having class, we apparently chose the same wine tour that John Lithgow did with his wife a year or so ago. Yup, we are movin` on up!
We found our way down to a nice street filled with outdoor restaurants and were charmed with live music passing from restaurant to restaurant. They play a lot of pan flute down here which is beautiful - though I don't think I've ever heard `El Condor Pasa` quite so frequently....ah well! I'm a Simon & Garfunkel fan anyway!
The next day we explored the gigantic park that Mendoza has created - Parque General San Martin. In this park there is a football stadium in which the games were played for the �78 World Cup, a hill which is called �Cerro de la Gloria� (Hill of Glory) and a huge monument that commemorates the Argentine army that crossed the Andes to liberate Chile (led by who else but General San Martin) and then there is also a zoological park that has butt loads of animals in tiny cages. We decided to hit up the Cerro de la Gloria monument first. This monument is dedicated to San Martin, who is like a god in Argentina. It is a giant iron and stone monument, shown on the $5 bill, with a bunch of dudes on horse back, Lady Liberty signifying victory and breaking chains and then some condors, beautiful. Naturally San Martin is on the monument as he is the main person that liberated Argentina from Spain in 1810 and then helped to liberate Chile and Peru (always referred to as Our Liberator San Martin).
After fully appreciating this and taking in the view of Mendoza, we headed down the hill that the monument was on to the zoo. The zoo itself was really really sad...yes, we know, shocking. I am not a huge fan of zoos, especially in countries that don't have sufficient human rights for the people living there, so despite the positive review that we read, the zoo had only one standard environment for all animals and very small cages for animals that were large ie/polar bears (yea it was smoking hot that day too), lions, elephants and then some cages that were overpopulated with monkeys. I guess in a sense we condoned it by paying the entrance, so after that we all felt a little bit bad. *Insert justification here* However, we did see some toucans and other animals we might not have seen...
We took the rest of the afternoon real chill-like and pulled up a chair at the Hyatt right next to the massive and absolutely gorgeous Plaza Independencia - seriously, these people have central parks down flat. Tons of space, lots of people just loving life, fountains and trees...In addition to the view, we also ended up here because no one else will feed you between 3pm and 9pm as Argentines are sleeping during this time and then finishing work - an early dinner for them is 9pm. After a nice and cheap lunch (much cheaper than the Hyatt's in Canada) we went full out as tourists and combed the town for (mostly) useless souvenirs. We headed first to a market shanty town sort of deal bordering the central park. Then we headed to a main shopping street where Sarah bought some mate gourds as did I, Uwe bought a really cool felt hat and then some flashy boot spurs and I bought some bull horns and other beef memorabilia. Good day in all. After we all headed back to the central park to relax by the fountains again and then returned to the hotel.
The next day we were supposed to get a flight from Mendoza to Buenos Aires, however, as we showed up to the airport and then decided to check in the clerk informed us of a strike. Awwwwwwww Crap, a strike, nothing screws up plans more than a strike, because you never see them coming and you don't know when they will end. So apparently the baggage handlers were having a strike probably because of pay, and the airline could not refund the money there (nor could they in the city of Mendoza, because the tickets were purchased online in Chile and all other sorts of reasons which made the refund as easy as repacking a fitted sheet into its original packaging, try it its really hard). So, since Uwe and Marilou only had 2 weeks in the country we headed for the bus station, looked for the next bus and bought some tickets. Our flight was supposed to be a 8am and we purchased a bus ticket that left at 7:30 that night, so we had some time to kill and decided to go to the Hyatt and try to get our money back from Aerolineas Argentina - a whole other story... Anyways, during one of the conversations at the Hyatt with all the parents gathered I knew that no one was listing to me except for Sarah so I announced �Hey, did you know I am gay! � and then Sarah replied �Yes, I do and I am also gay! �, this was followed by no reply so we both had a pretty good chuckle out of that, as we did every subsequent time that we repeated this knowing that no one was listening to us. After an easy day of lounging and strolling and eating a lot of dulce de leche ice cream we headed back to the bus station for the trip to Buenos Aires.
The bus system in Argentina is incredible; we traveled with this company called Andesmar in which all the buses are Double Decker buses in which almost all seats are flat reclining, there is a bus attendant, the food is better than most airline food and doing a 17hr. bus ride is no problem. We also get tons of movies and also had a bus-wide game of Bingo that was awesome (*In the spirit of games, see Mendoza Trivia below). The other thing that we noticed is that in N.A traveling by bus is almost degrading, not many people take it, the seats smell and lots of people generally frown upon bus travel. But, in Argentina it is completely the opposite - more luxury that a flight! Made it to Buenos Aires early the next morning eager for a change of pace and ready for the next leg of our parents adventure.
Love, Us.
*Mendoza Trivia -
1. Did you know that in the movie `Children of Men`, the parents of the youngest person on the planet hail from the city of Mendoza in the year 2027...?
2. Did you also know that the movie `7 Years in Tibet`was also filmed in Mendoza using the nearby foothills of the Andes as the city of Lhasa and a deserted warehouse to recreate thelegendary Hall of Good Deeds in the Potala, the ancient palace of the Dalai Lama...?

How Classes Work
The Learning Experience:
Our objective is to create a dynamic, interactive distance
learning environment for
our students. To that end, we will
use a variety of delivery methods, fitting each learning
to the most appropriate technology.
Students enrolled in the BSQA Internet Program will learn
through a combination of e-mail discussion, Web-site exploration,
video, and traditional textbook reading and writing assignments.
Class Discussion / Blackboard:
Class discussion is currently accomplished through "Blackboard"
software. The instructor
"posts" assignments and
discussion prompts to the class via Blackboard, and students
respond and interact by using the Blackboard menu at the course
Learning/Exploring on the Web:
Students will use the course Web site for a variety of activities
including getting assignments, conducting research, obtaining
the latest program and class news and information, etc.
Your Feedback is Important:
Any learning environment is always a work-in-progress, whether
it's a traditional classroom
or a high-tech distance learning
program. Therefore, our program and class structure is
being evaluated and refined. We need our students to talk
to us about what's
working and what isn't. Please E-mail your
comments and suggestions to: email@example.com

"My family loves the flavor that orange marmalade, beer and brown sugar give this ham," says Clo Runco. The Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania reader scores the ham and inserts whole cloves for an appealing look with little effort.
- 1 boneless fully cooked ham (3 to 4 pounds)
- 12 to 15 whole cloves
- 1 can (12 ounces) beer or beef broth
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup orange marmalade
- Place ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Score the surface of the ham, making diamond shapes 1/2 in. deep; insert a clove in each diamond.
- Pour beer or broth over ham. Rub brown sugar over surface of ham. Cover and bake at 325° for 1-1/4 hours.
- Spread with marmalade. Bake, uncovered, for 15-25 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 140°. Yield: 12-14 servings.

Josh Brolin Vows to Stop Drinking
Description:Josh Brolin screamed at a cabby and got into a super drunk slap fight, all within the same 48 hours this weekend. His antics were basically code for "I'm on my way to rehab," so we're not surprised when Josh told paparazzi today that he's done with alcohol. (1:25)
