I want to be able to retrieve data from tables which I may not know the
amount, name, or type of the fields. I have the sql_create_basic_#() and
that works find for static tables, but not if they are dynamic. If I
could run that method later on after I get field information then I
could do it, but it seems that I can only run it in the global scope
outside of any method. Please give me a push in the right direction.

Australian regional carrier Brindabella Airlines is launching a service next month linking the northern New South Wales town of Moree with Brisbane.
The airline's owner and CEO, Jeffrey Boyd, says they aim to launch the five-times-weekly non-stop scheduled service from Brisbane to Moree on 5 July.
Brindabella is a small regional carrier that operates BAe Jetstream 41s and Fairchild Metro IIIs for its scheduled services. It also has other smaller aircraft types for its charter operations.
No airlines presently operate on the Brisbane-Moree route says Innovata.
"Currently the only options for travelling between Brisbane and Moree are a gruelling six hours drive or a flight via Sydney - making our 1hr direct flight a highly desirable option," says Boyd.

GPS Fishing Guide to PA
The GPS Fishing Guide to Pennsylvania is a GPS enabled app, designed for both offline and online use, providing outdoor enthusiasts with easy access to all of Pennsylvania's freshwater fishing.
Our custom map interface allows you to browse a complete, color coded stream and lake map of Pennsylvania displayed over your choice of USGS 7.5 minute topographic maps, satellite imagery or road maps. When cellular service is unavailable, internally cached USGS and fishing maps let you continue into the wilds, using you phone as a handheld GPS.
Almost 5000 predefined fishing destinations are included with detailed listings of the species you'll find, regulations that apply, and the seasons size and creel limits for every species.
A waypoint function allows you to store your own GPS enabled fishing destinations with just the touch on a map. You can enter and edit your own data or fishing logs and share you waypoints with your friends.
The "Go" button passes coordinates directly to your phone's navigation software giving you turn-by-turn directions to both predefined and your waypoint destinations. You can even touch any interesting location on the map to make a temporary waypoint and touch "Go". You are immediately on your way!
When in the field, a "Target" function displays your target location on the map and calculates its distance and compass bearing from your current location. This is a great tool when navigating in the wilderness or just calculating distance.
An advanced menu allows you to search for any river, lake or stream, or drill down using specific criteria such as fish species, fishing regulation, motor type and more. All results are listed in distance order from your current location allowing you to find the closest fishing no matter where you are.
BONUS - With the exception of our customized Pennsylvania fishing data, many features including USGS maps, waypoints and TouchNGo driving can be used throughout the United States. This is more than just a PA fishing app. Use it wherever you go!
For Trout Anglers - This GPS Fishing Guide lists "Approved - Stocked Trout Waters", "Erie Steelhead Waters", "Special Regulation Waters", "Class A Trout Waters" and "Wilderness Trout Waters." You can even "Search All Trout Waters" to find any trout stream by name.
For Bass Anglers - Target the "Big Bass Lakes" or search all rivers, lakes and streams holding Smallmouth, Largemouth, or Spotted Bass. No matter how you search, your results are always listed in distance order.
Target Other Species - You can narrow your search to find the hotspots for just about any species. Find Striped Bass, Muskie, Walleye, Pike, Pickerel, Shad, Channel Catfish, Crappies, Perch and more!
For Boaters - This GPS Fishing Guide is an ideal tool. Search for lakes based on the type and size motor on your boat. If you have a 20 horsepower motor, you can find those lakes where your boat is legal. You can even find the many public access boat launches on Pennsylvania's rivers and streams and get detailed information including the type of ramp, trailer parking available and more.
Make the most of every fishing outing with The GPS Fishing Guide to Pennsylvania!
NOTE: This app will function on devices without a GPS receiver however a GPS receiver is required for accurate point-to-point navigation and for use as a handheld GPS in the field. GPS add-on units are available from third party manufacturers to enable GPS for devices that do not include a receiver. For offline use where no Internet connection is available, USGS and fishing maps must be downloaded while still on-line and connected. Any USGS and fishing maps downloaded online will be available for offline use. Please see the help
tutorial for details.

ONCE HAUNTED NICOLE L. PIERCE ISBN#: 9781607374480 October 2009 Loose-ID www.loose-id.com eBook $5.99 158 Pages Paranormal, erotic, romance Rating: 4 Cups
Kiera is losing her mind because she is hearing the voice of her deceased sister and it is telling her to marry her sister's fiancé. Unsure of what to do, she is shocked by the idea but not adverse to it since she has loved him secretly for years.
Fletcher is backed into a corner by an ultimatum his father gives him; marry or lose your inheritance and the money to take care of your ill brother. What is a man to do but find a woman who will marry for convenience?
Fletcher is shocked by the Kiera he finds at home and even more shocked by her suggestion that he marry her. After a dream of a fantastic night in her arms, he is sure that their plan just might work.
Once Haunted is a sweet love story of how sometimes we don't always meet our soul mates the first time around. The dream sequence between Kiera and Fletcher was an unusual way to bring two lovers together, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Nicole L. Pierce never fails to deliver, and Once Haunted is an excellent representation of her talent. I would recommend Nicole L. Pierce and Once Haunted to any reader who needs a little spicy romance in their life.

Keynote Speaker: Kristie Salerno Kent
Kristie was diagnosed with MS in 1999. She spent years in denial, using her theatre training to cover symptoms and pretend her health was not an issue. She took an office job and stopped pursuing a career as a performer. It wasn't until she rediscovered her passion for music that Kristie found the courage to face MS.
After deciding to face her problems head on, Kristie recorded and produced her debut solo album, "Believe." She also produced and directed "The Show Must Go On," a short documentary designed to help others understand the emotions and physical symptoms associated with MS. Kristie has since fulfilled her biggest dream of becoming a parent. She has spent the last several years performing across the U.S.
MS Spirit Award: Richard and Robin Kelly
The Chapter's Board of Directors, volunteer leadership and staff would like to recognize Richard and Robin Kelly for their demonstrated spirit of philanthropy, active leadership in the MS community and service to the people of Colorado.
Richard (Dick) and Robin are long-time supporters of the National MS Society and Co-Chairs of the Can Do Multiple Sclerosis Board of Directors. The Kellys devote their time, talent and treasure to encourage collaboration among Colorado's MS research and patient advocacy organizations to help people with MS live their best lives.
Thank you to our event sponsors:

B.A. Donley Complete Grounds MaintenanceRead MoreWhen Branden Donley was in college, he set out with his push mower to earn some cash tidying lawns around the neighborhood. His friend Sam Johnson began pitching in, and though the two were just 18 and 19 years old, their success soon made them realize they could turn their small operation into a full-time business. That was more than 20 years ago. Branden still runs the business, but today, he shares his love of creating beautiful yards with a staff of more than 40 people. The crew is dedicated to manicuring lawns with services that range from mowing grass and pulling weeds to complete landscaping overhauls. Rather than find a compatible bear to hibernate with during winter months, the crew turns its focus from greenery to snow removal, using its fleet of snowplow trucks to clear commercial parking lots, roads, and paths.23580 Lahser RoadSouthfield, MI US
Go Green Energy ConsultingRead MoreGo Green Energy Consultant's team of environmentally conscious experts can reduce home energy bills by 20-30% by uncovering the insulation insufficiencies and leaky spots that welcome drafts indoors. Their process begins with trawling Michigan houses with thermal cameras and industrial-strength fans, uncovering the cold zones that suggest air leakage or closets full of icebergs. After pinpointing these draft sources during "energy audits," the team can alleviate them with a custom combination of remedies such as caulk, foam, and sealant. The resulting snugger environment requires less energy to heat, rendering obsolete band-aid solutions such as overheating to counteract drafts.400 Galleria Officentre, Ste 555Southfield, MI US

And although blinds are their bread-and-butter?both from Hunter Douglas and their own line?they also boast an impressive selection of shutters, shades, drapery, and even flooring, outfitting abodes from top to bottom. Their services include estimates, based on their products' lifespan, and installation for new window treatments and repairs for old windows that have had one too many cars driven through them.24777 Telegraph RdSouthfield, MI US
Prestissimo Window CleaningRead MoreThe word "prestissimo" means "very fast" in Italian. Though the company's cleaners boast an unbridled enthusiasm for work that results in timely job completions for homes and businesses, it doesn't mean they cut corners. The meticulous window cleaners follow a multistep process designed to thoroughly extricate every fingerprint, bug protein, and suction-pawed Garfield afflicting glass and screens. Hard work has always been the cornerstone of the business, which was founded in 2006 by Carl Scott, a college student looking for a challenging, more fulfilling way to put himself through school. In addition to demonstrating upbeat energy, the team also keeps an eye on the environment by using green solutions and fuel-efficient vehicles, causing nearby weeping willows to burst into rounds of applause. That same conscientious attitude is carried with them into customer homes, where they take care to use drop cloths and shoe covers to protect carpet and all other surfaces.3226 Horton StFerndale, MI US

There are plenty of options for consumers who don't want to travel far when they head off on vacation. For example, they can take advantage of the holiday homes for sale in areas like North Wales.
This is just as well given the popularity of so-called 'staycations' at present. It seems Brits are increasingly ditching far-flung adventures in favour of trips to more local destinations.
According to research conducted by market analysts Mintel, people are more prone to take holidays nearby to their homes because of the rising cost of transport. The firm nicknamed these trips 'nearcations' because they usually involve destinations that lie within a couple of hours drive from their abodes.
The firm also noted that while the total number of holidays taken by Britons fell by 2.5 per cent between 2009 and last year, short breaks have become more popular. These trips now make up 44 per cent of the market.
Mintel found that around 60 per cent of UK consumers have taken a short break within the UK in the last 12 months.
A spokesman said: "High fuel prices are adding to the cost of a UK short break. But it offers an opportunity to hotels, attractions and tourism boards to promote petrol-busting 'nearcation' breaks in closer proximity to home."
People who want to make a habit of holidaying close to home can invest in the sited static caravans for sale. These properties can make the ideal base for relaxing and exploring areas of interest. As long as they choose their location and accommodation well, consumers can experience many enjoyable breaks.

Edison Nursing School gets major gift
FORT MYERS, Fla. - An anonymous donor has given the Edison State College School of Nursing a major financial gift.
The college announced Monday that it has received $728,000 from a Fort Myers couple. The husband says his late wife always wanted to be a nurse, but never had the chance.
Edison State College administrators say the gift will give others the opportunity to study nursing, and increase the number of qualified nurses in Southwest Florida.
"We're grateful that this gift allows us to sustain our superior record of training and educating nurses for the future," said Mary Myers, Interim Dean of Professional and Technical Studies. "It is comforting to know that when you need care Edison State College nurses are well prepared to respond. The generous support of this couple enhances our mission to deliver quality care."
"This large gift shows that there is tremendous trust in Edison State College and our Nursing Program," said J. Dudley Goodlette, Interim District President. "This gift will make a significant impact on nursing care in our community and in our ability to continue providing excellent educational opportunities."

Decision Boundaries in Two Dimensions for Target Detection in Hyperspectral Imagery
Optics Express, Vol. 17, Issue 20, pp. 17391-17411 (2009)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (693 KB)
We present an approach to the problems of weak plume detection and sub-pixel target detection in hyperspectral imagery that operates in a two-dimensional space. In this space, one axis is a matched-filter projection of the data and the other axis is the magnitude of the residual after matched-filter subtraction. Although it is only two-dimensional, this space is rich enough to include several well-known signal detection algorithms, including the adaptive matched filter, the adaptive coherence estimator, and the finite-target matched filter. Because this space is only two-dimensional, adaptive machine learning methods can produce new plume detectors without being stymied by the curse of dimensionality. We investigate, in particular, the utility of the support vector machine for learning boundaries in this matched-filter-residual space, and compare the performance of the resulting nonlinearly adaptive detector to well-known alternatives.

The unsolved murder of Richard Gill has left his brother and mother with so many questions.
"I just want to know who. I just want to know who did it", said Johnny Gill. "From what I talked about the detective, they pretty much… they know they have some leads.
Gill's mother says the last time she saw her son was Thursday night around 10:30.
His brother says he left with a friend.
"He called one of his buddies and said 'Come and get me' and that was it," said Richard's brother.
The next day police told the family that 43-year-old Richard Gill was dead inside a burning car in the back of Forest Creek apartments in southwest Columbus.
"He was just at the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong person," said his brother.
Police identified the other person in the burning car as 44-year old Jose Alivez--the man Johnny says came to get his brother.
Johnny says while his brother had a criminal record, including an arrest for drug paraphernalia last year, he says he'd left that world behind.
His brother says he is a painter, but just recently lost his job.
"His driving records was so bad that he didn't have a way of getting to work and he couldn't rely on people to get him to work," he added.
Johnny says his brother never talked about having enemies, or being afraid the night he left the house.
He has a message for the people who took his brother's life.
"Judgment will get them, everything happens for a reason," said Johnny.
The Franklin County Coroner said the two men died of head injuries before the car was burned.

Jerry Butler, Tom Byron, Jacqueline, Scarlet Windsor, Clair Tyler, Randy West, Kitty Love
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Feature
How does an R-rated screen actor fill his gas tank off the set, asks Jerry Butler who's supposed to be a heartthrob named Rob "Lowest." Can we take a wild guess at the plot, here?
I can take or leave Butler with the dye job (he talks to the camera most of the time like the narrator in Our Town), and I can take or leave some of the philosophy. But as a video renter or buyer, I'd take this tape home for two simple reasons: Clair Tyler and her hot scenes with Butler and Tom Byron. Okay, all right, already, the Scarlet Windsor-Debi Diamond matchup is pretty nifty. yeah, and the Randy West/Windsor scene isn't bad, either. Am I suggesting you see this one for sex over plot? Gee, what's this wold coming to? Nice photo of Clair Tyler on box.

In California, one of the big events of graduating High school, is going to grad night at Disney land and Disney California. Today I was talking to somebody who live north of Santa Barbara when she graduated High school, and she said they took a bus to grad night. Now I wonder, did anybody here, ever had to fly, to make it to Disney grad night, let say, somebody from San Francisco, Sacramento or San Jose? Even somebody who lived in another states other than California like Seattle WA, at the time you graduated high school?

Toward the Semantic WebIf the current Web is like a giant text file - which you can search for instances of particular words – the Semantic Web would be like a database, where every item of information is categorized, and new queries can combine categories in any imaginable way. You could, for instance, search the Web for a restaurant within a mile of a railway station in a town with a theater that offers vegetarian lasagna and at least one lamb dish. And if you wanted the restaurant's menu, you could pull up just the menu – not page after page of review sites that happened to use the word "menu."

Creating a rogue CA certificateThis successful proof of concept shows that the certificate validation performed by browsers can be subverted and malicious attackers might be able to monitor or tamper with data sent to secure websites. Banking and e-commerce sites are particularly at risk because of the high value of the information secured with HTTPS on those sites. With a rogue CA certificate, attackers would be able to execute practically undetectable phishing attacks against such sites.

Get rid of the stocker. Get a Tsubaki or DID.Bare
If you go to an o-ring chain on the G5 you also need to get a larger front sprocket (18t I believe) for clearance issues. The C5 can run an o-ring chain as is, already has the 18t.Scott
The C5 chains have the thinnest o-rings I have ever seen, so they are the narrowest o-ring chains I've ever seen.

Barenekd, I hope you're not thinking of safety issues?
I did get to work on my brakes last Saturday and get the rear brake properly centered. It's working quite well now. But for you who don't think the brakes work decently on these bikes, Jack took the lead going down San Gabriel Canyon and it's a pretty good long downhill run. It drops from about 6,000' to 2,000' in about 10 miles of fairly tight twisties with some occasional short straights. I got up over 80 on a couple of those trying to catch back up with him. He was going pretty fast, so it was a long time trying to close the initial gap I let him get. He was definitely working me!Coming into some of those turns and slowing down quickly to 20-25 took some severe braking and I found that the K-70s could definitely be locked up of both ends with the proper amount of pressure. Guys complain about the feel, but I think the brakes offer very good feedback. The harder you squeeze, the more they impede your flow! It's a very linear feeling. They're not going to do 2 fingered stoppies, but you're not going to be surprised by one, either. The braking distance isn't going to be down with a Superbike, but the tires are the limiting factor, not the brakes. You just don't have all the rubber on the ground, nor the tire compound to get all that much traction. But, within the tire limitations, the brakes are all they should be.As for setting up the rear brakes, put the bike of the center stand, loosen the axle nut, the brake hub nut and the brake pivot nut. That's the one on the brake backplate in front of the axle. Might want to check and adjust the chain while you're there. Do that before you start working on the brake.Tighten the brake adjustment down so the wheel is tightly locked. This will center the brake shoes, and ensure that both shoes are hitting the brake drum when the brake is applied. Torque the Hub Nut, then the axle nut, then the pivot pin nut. Back off the brake adjustment until it is just free so the wheel will spin. You shouldn't have any drag. A couple of notches, (a half to one turn) of the adjusting nut should have it going from locked to drag free rotation. If there is still some dragging a little after another half turn or so, you are probably not quite centered. The brake pedal movement should by quite short between completely free to locked. On the long stock it might need to move a 1/4" or so. My rearsets with the shot pedal is about 1/8". The brakes should be able to lock up the rear wheel, but it will take some pressure, but they will feel better over the whole range.The next time you have to take the wheel off, take the brake off and grease the brake actuating cam lightly. It will keep you brakes from sticking. There have been a few reports from the iron barrel guys about brakes sticking and breaking! The grease will help alleviate that.Not much can be done with the disk brakes, other than, of they are soft and take a lot of travel, they probably need to be bled. Those brakes don't take a whole lot of fluid, so I do them from the top. Run a clear hose from the bleeder fitting to a pan and submerge the end in some brake fluid. Put a loop in the hose so you can see if air is pumping out of the caliper.Take the cap off the master cylinder and fill the reservoir with DOT 3 or 4 brake fluid. loosen the bleeder about a quarter to a half turn and squeeze the brake lever. Hold the lever in and close the bleeder, Let the handle out, open the bleeder and squeeze the lever again and and again holding the lever in, close the bleeder again let the lever out keep an eye on the reservoir and fill it before it can get to the bottom of the reservoir. Continue the pumping process until all the air has been run out of the hose.It doesn't really take too much fluid to completely replace the existing fluid. When you're satisfied the air has been pushed out of the caliper, close the bleeder and try the brake. It should have a very solid feel without a lot of travel. If it has a lot of travel but feels solid, fill the reservoir and replace the cap Make sure the bleeder is closed and remove the hoseTo get rid of the excess travel, squeeze the lever very hard and hold it for several seconds. This will push the pucks out farther and keep the lever from having to move so far. Repeat this action a few times and the lever travel should shorten up. This is an exercise I use while sitting at stoplights. Keeps the brakes tuned a bit better.

Released: Jun 01st, 2005
Running Time: 90
Director: Penny Nichols
Company: Jill Kelly Productions
Cindy Crawford, Venus (I), Ashton Moore, Joel Lawrence, Amber Peach, Dick Smothers Jr., Jenna Haze, Ron Jeremy
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Feature
Especially good for couples looking for something sexy and fun.
Nine porn stars in a house and forbidden sex is the premise behind this hilarious satire of reality TV, featuring on-screen appearances by Smothers' female alter ego Penny Nichols and Ms. Kelly herself. The scripted fights and finely edited comic timing are laugh-out-loud funny, blending the actors' on-screen personas and real-life personalities.
Don't worry, the fucking sizzles: especially good are Venus and Stone's intense sucking and anal play, and Haze and Moore's employing of vibrators for each other's snatches. But the humorous script is just as prominent and entertaining as the hot coupling.
Pre-nom: Best Editing - Video, Best Comedy

Downton Abbey Portrays Reality of Interfaith RelationshipsBy Gerri Miller
Go inside Season 5 Episode 9 where the story line of Atticus and Rose's interfaith relationship comes to a head.
Go To Pop CultureApril 13, 2010
The major league baseball season has begun. If you like to watch baseball or have family members in the softball league, you're sure to enjoy knowing who all the players from Jewish and interfaith families are. This list was prepared with the help of Jewish Sports Review newsletter:
Marlene Dietrich was not a baseball player--she was a movie star and a visible symbol of resistance to fascism. |
Brad Ausmus, catcher, Los Angeles Dodgers. Ausmus turned 41 this week, ancient for a major leaguer. A brilliant defensive player, Ausmus has played 18 major league seasons without being on the disabled list once. Ausmus spoke last year to the Jewish Journal of Los Angeles. Here's a brief, but quite interesting excerpt:
Ausmus did not have a childhood steeped in Jewish identity. As a child with a Protestant Christian father and a Jewish mother, he celebrated Jewish holidays with his mother's family, but didn't really identify as a Jew. [Ausmus says]; 'I wasn't raised with the Jewish religion, so in that sense I don't really have much feeling toward it. But, however, in the last 10 or so years, I have had quite a few young Jewish boys who will tell me that I am their favorite player or they love watching me play or they feel like baseball is a good fit for them because it worked for me or it worked for Shawn Green or other Jewish players at the Major League level. It has been a sense of pride. If you can have a positive impact on a kid, I'm all for it.'
Ryan Braun, 26, outfielder, Milwaukee Brewers. The 2007 National League rookie of the year, Braun made the All-Star team in 2008 and 2009 and had another outstanding season in 2009—hitting .320, with 100 RBIs, 200 hits, 30 homers, and 20 stolen bases. Braun's father, who was born and raised in Israel, settled in Los Angeles, where he met Ryan's mother, an American Catholic.
Craig Breslow, 29, relief pitcher, Oakland Athletics. The former captain of the Yale University baseball team, Breslow has a degree in biophysics and biochemistry. Many of his teammates, and many sports writers, have commented that he is the smartest player (in terms of general knowledge) that they have ever met. He's also a pretty effective reliever.
Scott Feldman, 27, starting pitcher, Texas Rangers. Feldman came into his own in 2009; with a record of 17-8. This is the most wins by a Jewish pitcher since 1980 when Oriole Steve Stone won 25. Scott's father, by the way, is an FBI agent.
John Grabow, 31, relief pitcher, Chicago Cubs. An outstanding reliever with the Pirates, Grabow was traded to the Cubs in July. He had a very good 2009 season with both clubs. His Jewish mother was born in Lebanon. Much of her extended family settled in Israel.
Gabe Kapler, 34, outfielder, Tampa Bay Rays. Kapler had a good season in 2009, with his extra base hit production and his ability to hit left-handed pitching making up for a so/so batting average. Kapler has three "Jewish-themed" tattoos, including a Star of David.
Ian Kinsler, 27, second baseman, Texas Ranger. An outstanding hitter, Kinsler was an All-star team member in 2008 and was just beaten out for a spot on the team in 2009. Nonetheless, he racked up 2009 numbers that far eclipsed the player who got the All-Star spot. Kinsler joined the elite "30-30" club in 2009, with 31 home runs and 31 stolen bases.
Jason Marquis, 31, starting pitcher, Washington Nationals. Now in his 11th season, Marquis had a outstanding season last year with the Colorado Rockies, winning 15 games and making the All-Star team. Marquis, a Long Island native, had a bar mitzvah.
Scott Schoeneweis, 36, relief pitcher, Boston Red Sox. An effective reliever over his 12 years in the majors, Scott's 2009 season with Arizona was seriously interrupted when his wife died of a drug overdose. He thought of retiring, but came back to finish the season. Boston signed him in March and he performed well enough in spring training to make the team's roster.
Kevin Youkilis, 31, first baseman, Red Sox. An All-star in 2008 and 2009, Youkilis, now has to be seriously considered as the third best Jewish player of all time, behind Hall of Famers Hank Greenberg and Sandy Koufax. A great defensive player who holds the all-time record for most errorless games at first base, he has become a great hitter in the last few seasons. In 2009, he hit .305 with 27 home runs. Youkilis had a bar mitzvah and he's known to greet other Jewish players with happy (Jewish) holiday wishes.
Ausmus, Grabow, and Schoeneweis are the sons of Jewish mothers and non-Jewish fathers. Braun, Feldman, and Kinsler are the sons of Jewish fathers and non-Jewish mothers. The other players have two Jewish parents.

The popularity of Twitter and blogs written by celebrities has resulted in a boomlet in Passover related items during the last month. Jewish fashion designer and model Whitney Port, 25, the star of the reality show, The City, tweeted: "Missing my family on Passover. I'm going to make charoset in honor of them." (Port lives in New York City. Her parents are in Los Angeles.)
Actress Elizabeth Banks, 36, a convert to Judaism, tweeted: "Great Seder last nite. Outfoxed though by scrappy kid in hunt for the Afikomen."
Actress Gwyneth Paltrow, 37, is the son of a Jewish father, the late director, Bruce Paltrow, and actress Blythe Danner, who isn't Jewish. She was raised in her father's Jewish faith.
Paltrow is a mainstay of the blog site, Goop.com, and she frequently posts advice on diet and health. She wrote this to introduce her March 29 Goop newsletter-- well worth keeping a note of for next year, just for the recipes:
Keeping kosher will be easy this year now that I have discovered Claudia Roden's brilliant book, The Book of Jewish Food. I have to say that irrespective of religion, culture, or background, this is one of the best books I've ever cooked out of. The flavors are outstanding and all of the recipes I have tried have been simple to prepare and quick. I included some of my favorites, which are great for Passover, or just any old day for that matter. In keeping with our theme, we have two different versions of matzo brei for brunch and FINALLY, we have found two gorgeous kosher wines from the Napa Valley that are sure to take your Seder up a notch (sorry Mr. Manishevitz).
Paltrow has reportedly signed on to play German screen legend Marlene Dietrich (1901-1992) in a bio-pic to be shown on the BBC and, probably later, on American TV. She has wanted to make a film of Dietrich's life for many years, mentioning the project in interviews repeatedly.
Dietrich came from an upper-class Protestant background; her ancestors included many German army officers. (Her father was a police lieutenant and her stepfather was an officer killed fighting for German in WWI). Nonetheless, Dietrich herself was immune to the anti-Semitism so common among this class of Germans.
The German film that made Dietrich a star, The Blue Angel, (1930) was directed by Joseph Von Sternberg, an Austrian-born Jew who was mostly raised in the United States. (He added "Von" to his name to give himself aristocratic panache). Von Sternberg and Dietrich were lovers. Dietrich's list of famous lovers, both men and women, is lengthy and legendary.
Dietrich followed Von Sternberg to Hollywood in 1930, before the Nazi takeover of Germany in 1933. In Hollywood, he directed her in a series of six films between 1930 and 1935 that made her an international star.
Dietrich was among the most adamant opponents of the Nazi regime. She helped many Jewish friends escape from Germany.In 1937, she refused an offer from the Nazis to return to Germany--she was told she could make any films she wanted and would be paid a colossally high salary. After she refused, her films were banned in Germany.
She became an American citizen in 1939 and her awards including the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the French Legion of Honor.
Though Paltrow is also a blond beauty with a compelling screen presence, her squeaky clean image and ethereal beauty are nothing like Dietrich's earthy sex appeal. Dietrich was a smoker famous for her deep singing voice. Paltrow is a health food advocate whose singing voice sounds best in the soprano range. (You can hear her sing "Bette Davis Eyes" in a film clip.) It will require some playing against type for Paltrow to surprise the critics who have questioned casting her in the role.

Canadian Shrimp Becomes Clearwater Seafoods' Second MSC Certified Sustainable Product
BEDFORD, NS, Sept. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Canadian coldwater shrimp join Argentine scallops as Clearwater Seafoods' second MSC certified offering.
The Marine Stewardship Council has certified the Canadian northern prawn fishery as a sustainable and well-managed fishery.
"This is an exciting and important achievement," says Clearwater's CEO, Colin MacDonald. "Not only for Clearwater but for Canada" noting the fishery is the first Canadian fishery to achieve MSC certification.
Clearwater markets shrimp under their Clearwater Pride of St. Anthony brand as well as numerous retailer and food service private label brands sold around the globe.
Clearwater sustainable harvesting practices extend beyond their Argentine scallops, which achieved MSC certification in 2006, and shrimp, explains MacDonald, "We're proud of our record and efforts in the area of environmental stewardship. It's been a commitment and our way of doing business for over 30 years."
"It is a rigorous and lengthy certification process. We see the MSC certification as a testament to the efforts and passion of our employees," adds MacDonald, "While we have long practiced and invested in new technologies that improve our sustainable harvesting methods, adding the globally recognized blue MSC eco-label to our products makes it easier for the consumer and chef to make responsible seafood choices."
Clearwater has two other fisheries, Canadian sea scallops and offshore lobster, that have recently passed pre-assessment and entered into full certification.
"We want people to be aware and care about fisheries sustainability," says MacDonald. "It is one way we will be able to win the fight against IUU (illegal, unregulated and unreported) fishing that is still happening around the globe. We need to create a level playing field and, most importantly, ensure our oceans bounty is available for our children and our children's children."
Dennis Coates, Clearwater's Business Development Manager for shrimp, and a native of Newfoundland, understands the significance of the certification for the discerning consumer as well as for the Newfoundland northern communities whose livelihoods are linked to the fishery. "We say 'Love the flavour, feel good about the choice'," says Coates, "This certification is really just the icing on the cake. The product is flat out delicious and ultra convenient. It's like 'sea candy'."
Unlike it's warm water counterpart coldwater shrimp are known for their incredibly sweet and tender texture. They are cooked and peeled, individually quick frozen and ready to eat.
"As far as applications go," Coates says, " the possibilities are endless. We have recipe and menu applications for the consumer or chef that span appetizer to ethnic cuisine such as salad or pizza toppers and shrimp quesadillas."
"People are often intimidated about cooking seafood. This is not an issue with cooked and peeled shrimp. Add them cold or at the end of a cooked dish just enough to heat through," adds Coates.
Clearwater offers retailers in-store and on-premise support materials, private label programs and more.
The product is fished across Newfoundland and Labrador and then cooked and peeled and frozen at St. Anthony's state-of-the-art processing facility.
About Clearwater Seafoods Ltd. ------------------------------

Far-field optical coupling to semi-infinite metal-nanoparticle chains
JOSA B, Vol. 25, Issue 6, pp. 937-944 (2008)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (402 KB)
External optical coupling into and out of semi-infinite chains of noncontacting noble-metal nanoparticles is found to be highly directional. While strong coupling of external radiation into and out of low-attenuation surface plasmon polaritons (PPs) in semi-infinite nanoparticle chains is predicted, the radiation patterns are quite complex indicating possible challenges in mode matching. We show that a treatment that neglects end effects provides an entirely inadequate description of both the PPs on the chain and of the scattered electromagnetic radiation.

- Abstract:
- Introduction of the packet switching technique into digitized voice communication may afford great advantages in efficient use of the channel, compared to both circuit-switched and DSI systems. Detailed characteristics, however, have not been obtained because of difficulty in the exact analysis. Hence, simulation models are developed in this paper for the packetized voice transmission system, and various characteristics such as transmission delays and loss probability of voice packets are obtained. We further evaluate three types of voice packet reassembly strategy at t he receiving terminal, and obtain the optimal packet length, which keeps each of overall packet transmission delay and packet loss probability less than a certain permissible values. Comparison among three strategies is also stated.

As you may be aware, Brian Buccellato has been a reoccurring guest on The Invincibly Super Massive Comic Book Podcast of Stuff here at Comic Vine. While he was on the Friends of Comic Vine panel over the weekend at Long Beach Comic Expo, we came up with the idea of an added incentive for his SONS OF THE DEVIL Kickstarter project (highlighted HERE).
Last night, Brian added three rewards to join he and I on an episode of the show. The pledge was set at $200 and immediately sold out.
The idea was for me to post about it HERE today but they sold out within minutes of the page being updated.
There's also the recently added "Human Billboard NYCC" incentive going fast:
So this is your last chance. We'll add one more. You can also upgrade a current pledge. Head on over to the Kickstarter page now! There's only fourteen days left! It's at the half way mark. Your help is still needed.
