Solid landing
Dance prodigy Kiril Kulish of University City is a Broadway star in crowd-pleasing 'Billy Elliot'
NEW YORK – If you're a lead actor in a hit musical, Broadway has its perks: the stardom, the standing ovations, the autograph-seekers at the stage door.
But the place is conspicuously lacking a beach. And Kiril Kulish might trade you a bushel of bagels for just one visit to his favorite San Diego burger joint.
"I miss the beach. I used to be able to get there in 10 minutes," said Kiril, the University City kid who's now wowing the Broadway crowd as the title character in the hit show "Billy Elliot."
"And I miss In-N-Out Burger," he adds with a guilty laugh. "In-N-Out Burger was my favorite place to eat. And it was right next to my ballet school, so I'd go after rehearsal and eat there.
"There's no In-N-Out here."
Not that he's complaining. (Necessarily.) New York has been pretty good to the 14-year-old dance prodigy, who was chosen from more than 1,000 hopefuls last year to be one of three boys alternating in the part of Billy, the ballet-loving British boy.
Kiril's performance on this bone-cold Manhattan afternoon will earn warm and sustained ovations, as he performs elegant leaps and precise, dizzying spins to such songs from the Elton John score as "Electricity" and "Shine."
He has worked very hard to make it look so effortless. With music lessons since age 5, ballet at 6, gymnastics at 7, Kiril, who has been home-schooled and has two grown-up siblings, has been training and performing for most of his life. Ballet eventually became his specialty, and he won plenty of dance competitions, including the top prize at the Youth America Grand Prix.
But "Billy" has demanded much more. Since he left San Diego for New York last May, Kiril has had to learn the quirky accents of Geordie English, a dialect of the Northeast England coal-mining region where "Billy" is set.
He also has had to learn tap dance, take vocal training and work hard on his acting. Rehearsals have continued regularly since "Billy Elliot" – which is based on the 2000 movie and became a major stage hit in London – opened on Broadway in November.
For Kiril, 10 minutes to get to the beach has now become 10 minutes to finish an interview before dashing to his dressing room and prepping for a Sunday matinee performance in front of another packed house.
As he sits in the lobby of the Imperial Theatre nursing a winter cold, Kiril retraces the unlikely path that led him to "Billy Elliot," now the No. 2 show on Broadway (just behind "Wicked") with grosses of more than $1 million a week.
Born in San Diego to a family of Ukrainian heritage (mom Raisa, who moved to New York with him, teaches piano), Kiril was presciently nicknamed "Billy Elliot" by one teacher at Champion Academy Ballroom in Hillcrest when he trained there.
Not only had he never seen the movie about the lonely kid who embraces his passion for dance, he was even less familiar with theater.

Jicama adds crunch and mild flavor to coleslaw
Now that we're having longer days and at least some warm weather, our tastes turn to lighter and cooler dishes. Today's recipe is a fresh take on slaw, combining the popular south-of-the-border vegetable, jicama, with colorful peppers, seasoned with a Mexican flair. It's crunchy and flavorful, and guess what -- it's healthful, too.
Because of its appearance, jicama is sometimes called the Mexican potato. Found in the produce department, it is shaped somewhat like a large, flattened beet, with a brown skin and a creamy white inside. Unlike the potato, it is typically eaten raw. It has a mild flavor and crunch like a water chestnut.
Jicama is low in calories and fat, is a good source of vitamin C and provides a healthy serving of folic acid and fiber. In fact, jicama is high in a type of fiber called inulin.
Inulin is a type of soluble fiber often found in root vegetables like jicama. It is called a prebiotic, something that helps create an environment in the large intestine where healthy bacteria can multiply and grow, kind of like fertilizer.
This is different from a probiotic, which actually contains more healthy bacteria to add into the intestinal tract. Inulin is being looked at more and more as an additive to foods like yogurt, to help promote good bacterial growth.
With all the colorful peppers, this slaw also provides a wallop of vitamin A and vitamin C. Both of these important vitamins contribute to making our immune systems function the way they should. Vitamin A is necessary for good skin health, and vitamin C helps us absorb iron better and helps to make a particularly crucial protein called collagen. You've heard of collagen in skin, but it is also a component of our blood vessel walls and bone and teeth composition.
Besides all the good nutrition, this slaw will provide a terrific accompaniment to your grilled meats, chicken or fish, or served as a side dish alongside a sandwich. Because it is so crunchy, you might just be able to pass up the chips we so often serve on the side.
If you want to take a short cut, buy already shredded red cabbage in the produce section. If you do this, you won't be able to serve the slaw in a red cabbage leaf, but it will still provide color and look good on your plate. And if you'd prefer to mix red cabbage and green cabbage, that would work fine, too.
When you buy jicama, choose roots that are heavy and dense, with smooth, unblemished skin. The best ones are not the biggest -- those larger than 2 pounds may have a coarser texture and don't have as much sweetness. When you cut the peel off, also cut off the fibrous white layer just underneath the skin.

Jicama Cilantro Slaw
1 small head red cabbage
2 cups jicama, peeled and cut into thin matchstick strips
1 small or ½ large red sweet pepper, chopped (about ½ cup)
1 small or ½ large yellow sweet pepper, chopped (about ½ cup)
1 small or ½ large green sweet pepper, chopped (about ½ cup)
Cilantro dressing (recipe follows)
1 (6-inch) corn tortilla, cut into strips
2 tsp. cooking oil
Reserve six outer leaves from red cabbage; place in a plastic bag. Seal and chill until needed. Shred enough of the remaining cabbage to equal 2 cups. In a large salad bowl, combine jicama, shredded red cabbage and sweet peppers. Prepare cilantro dressing and pour over jicama mixture, tossing to coat. Cover and chill for 1 to 4 hours, stirring occasionally.
For cilantro dressing: In a screw-top jar, combine ¼ cup cooking oil, 1/3 cup snipped fresh cilantro, 2 tbsp. lime juice, 2 tbsp. finely chopped red onion, 1 tbsp. snipped fresh mint leaves, 2 tbsp. vinegar, 1 tbsp. honey, 2 cloves minced garlic and a dash each of salt, ground black pepper and cayenne. Cover and shake well.
For topping, brush each side of the tortilla with the cooking oil. Cut tortilla into thin strips. Place strips in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake, uncovered, in a 400-degree oven about 4 minutes or until strips are golden and crisp. Cool; set aside until ready to serve.
To serve, place a cabbage leaf on each of six salad plates. With slotted spoon, divide salad among the plates. Top each salad with tortilla strips.

Dorfstrasse 1 - Wengen1-877-662-6988
Built in 1894, the Regina is a grand Victorian hotel that towers over the local train station; Frommer's called it Wegen's most time-honored hotel. Among the dining options are the Chez Meyer's Restaurant, known for the exquisite dishes produced by its large kitchen and for its extensive list of fine wines, and the formal dining room of Jack's Brasserie.
Travelers can relax in the elegant lobby bar, with a huge fireplace and large windows overlooking the mountains. This ski-in/ski-out hotel offers ski storage and 225 square feet (21 square meters) of conference facilities, as well as a fitness room and a beauty center, where guests can benefit from a wide range of treatments, massages, manicure, and pedicure.
Wengen is one of Europe's few car-free resorts, with only a few electric vehicles ferrying visitors to and from the train station. Some 40 trains bring passengers in to Wengen from Lauterbrunnen every day. From the Regina Hotel it's approximately a 5 minute walk to the base station of the Luftseilbahn Wengen-Männlichen (LWM) cable car, which carries hikers and skiers up the Männlichen, a 7,687-foot (2,343-meter) mountain. Wengen is internationally known for staging the Lauberhorn alpine ski races and being on the route of the Jungfrau Marathon.
For a 4 star hotel, the hotel has major deficiencies. In particular the bedrooms -...Venere Guest, United Kingdom

For a 4 star hotel, the hotel has major deficiencies. In particular the bedrooms - no tea/coffee making facilities (if you want a cup of tea in your room you have to order room service and pay); the rooms haven't been redecorated for years (brown hessian wall paper/no pictures/bathrooms shabby/hand shower only) Restaurant was only average after all the hype - at least two better in town. Service - front desk very good/helpful. Otherwise no-one smiles. Restaurant service poor.

Great location for skiing in the Wengen/Grindelwald area. Nice classic, stylish hotel, with friendly and helpful staff. Pretty good food in Jack's Brasserie with great service, although some of the waiters are apparently still in training. It was freezing 25 deg during my stay; I heard that the heater could not cope with that in some rooms but in mine it was ok. Other highlights: sauna, bar with fireplace.

PORTLAND -- The scars on Officer John Romero s hand and arm are the only physical reminders of the deadly shootout he had with Kelly Swoboda, an armed man wanted by the police.
I do have to thank God for protecting my life in that instant and moment, said Romero.
Romero, a school resource officer at Wilson High, was investigating reports of a suspicious man when he suddenly spotted Swoboda.
I call out and say, Sir, can you stop right there, and he is continuing to walk, Romero said.
The man refused to comply with Romero s commands. The veteran officer turned to his department-issued weapon.
As soon as he saw me draw my gun he stands up and starts shooting at me, said Romero.
The officer was hit instantly, but he had the wherewithal to return fire as he looked for somewhere to hide.
I can feel the blood dripping down on my gun and onto the street, recalled Romero. I m talking on the radio trying to get people there.
By the time back-up arrived, the threat was over. The suspicious man was dead. He was later identified as Swoboda.
The 49-year-old was wanted for the kidnapping and sexual assault of a young woman two months earlier.
It appeared he was not finished. Detectives found chains, handcuffs, and handwritten notes about nearly two dozen women inside Swoboda s van.
The public will never truly know what Swoboda was planning to do. He is gone.
Now, a lot of people in the community are calling Officer Romero a hero.
I don t consider myself a hero, said Romero. I consider myself a police officer who did his job.
Romero is currently on light duty, but he plans to return to active duty within the next couple of months. He said he appreciates all the support from the community.

3.0 out of 5 stars Would be OK for a cooking student...lots of 'general' information....tools etc.,
Wayne Cooper "Canoneer" (North Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Conran Cookbook (Hardcover)
This review is for the hardcover edition measuring 11 1/4 X 8 1/4 having 432 pages.
Similar in shortcomings to an earlier book I review of a similar style THIS book as well has WAY TOO FEW pictures.
The biggest shortcoming however is one of slight misrepresentation of it.
It is a 'cookbook'....but more appropriately I would call it a cookery book for students.
While covering SOME traditional French cooking it spends a LOT of time on VERY basic information more appropriate to a student in a cooking class.
There is about 1/2 of the book with recipes and the other 1/2 is a variety of 'technical' information including the MANY types of beans etc.
Not what I thought it would be it might be fine for a beginning student in a cookery class but if you want recipes mostly....this is not the volume for you.

According to Merriam-Webster, "ratify" means to make a formal approval or official sanction. "All attending member nations agreed to ratify the proposed treaty" is an example of how to use the transitive verb "ratify" in a sentence.
Certify, consent, sanction, endorse and approve are examples of synonyms for the word "ratify," according to Roget's Thesaurus. Deny, disallow, oppose, refuse and renounce are examples of antonyms of the term "ratify." The word's usage dates back to the 14th century and is associated with political, legal and bureaucratic domains. For instance, students of American History learn that amendments to the Constitution are ratified before they become law.

Unwind and relax in style
The Gatwick Holiday Inn has always been a firm favourite for families. It's only minutes away from the North terminal and has oodles of four-bed rooms, a kids-eat-free menu and a caring team of staff. The open-plan areas have a laid-back vibe with plenty of seating for you to enjoy a relaxing drink or a bite to eat. There's no chance of the little ones getting bored here, with TVs, games, activity packs and a free two-course meal for up to two children under 13.
While the Holiday Inn is loved by families, it's also a hit with those who like the simplicity of leaving their car at the hotel during their holiday. There's loads of spaces and the car park's secured, so the start of your holiday can go without a hitch.
Helpful efficient staff, good rooms perfect location for flight from Gatwick, great price with parking, all went very smoothly, shall return in the futureDr Green (Gatwick Holiday Inn)
Basic accommodation but convenient to Gatwick North Terminal with bus transfer. Didn't have to wait more than 5 minutes for a bus either way.Miss Bailey (Gatwick Holiday Inn)
Yes. Lovely place to stay - comfortable beds, tasty breakfast, friendly staff. Car was parked and released according to plan. Couldn't ask for more. The one minus point is because I wouldn't recommend driving home after an overnight flight - not your fault at all!Dr King (Gatwick Holiday Inn)
The staff were particularly helpful and friendly. The restaurant is ideal to book into on arrival, serving a variety of good quality food at reasonable prices..Mrs Riley (Gatwick Holiday Inn)

Hearty, traditional British meals
Traders restaurant and the Hub bar have an informal setting, so although there's no need to don a fancy frock at dinner, this doesn't mean the food isnt elegant and refined.

The Holiday Inn is a family-friendly hotel thats perfect for avoiding airport stress. You might even have some fun while youre there!

What made the John Ostrander/Kim Yale run on Suicide Squad the best version of that series? It was a comic that could only have happened in 1987.
We're giving away a bunch of Funko Pop figures because we like you. Isn't that reason enough?
Mad Max: Fury Road takes place in a world full of detail and imagination, and director George Miller has expanded on its backstory in a Vertigo comic book.
Maestro, the despotic future Hulk, is brought to life in visceral style in Rafa Garres' variiant cover for Future Imperfect #2, debuting exclusively on ComicsAlliance.
Even if you aren't familiar with his comic book counterpart, the name of the villainous Apocalypse definitely conjures up ideas of complete global annihilation, a bad guy who could very well usher in the End Times. And that's the mega-conflict the X-Men are facing into in next year's X-Men: Apocalypse, which sees the team battling the most epic threat yet. Oscar Isaac is set to play the role of the big bad Apocalypse, and although he can't say too much, he is promising some pretty big things.
Captain America: Civil War seems like it could be another Avengers installment with so many members of the MCU reprising their roles for Cap's third outing. But that's kind of the point, since this film is primed to make major waves in the Marvel universe, completely altering the future of our heroes. New set photos definitely confirm how much of a superhero party this is, with Jeremy Renner, Robert Downey Jr., Paul Rudd and more hanging out on set.
When it was first announced that director Josh Trank had cast Michael B. Jordan in the role of the traditionally-white Johnny Storm in Fantastic Four, there was a bit of (sadly predictable) fan backlash. It was the same sort of ignorant, unreasonable outcry we've endured anytime someone suggests we have a Spider-Man who isn't white (even though we have one in the comics). Jordan has mostly kept quiet about the senseless anger regarding his casting, but the actor has finally delivered a thoughtful response.
Deadpool isn't particularly known for being a nice guy, but you know who is? Ryan Reynolds, the star of the upcoming Deadpool solo movie. And when he's not busy filming action-packed scenes and mouthing off behind that mask, he's taking time out to be a real-life hero, making one little Deadpool fan's wish come true.
'Cute' is sometimes an under-valued concept. 'Adorable' as a word can seem dismissive and diminishing. But there are times when these are not only the right words to use, but perhaps the highest compliments one could offer, because cute and adorable can be great. In the case of Becky Dreistadt and Frank Gibson's Boom Studios series Capture Creatures, "cute" and "adorable" are words that shine with a clear and exalting purpose; for this series is cute, and it is adorable, and it is great! If you don't believe me, check out this exclusive preview to issue #4, on sale next week.
Over the past few years, I've often wondered why comic book publishers weren't taking advantage of the opportunities that we've seen through the growth of webcomics, hooking new readers with free content and then using that to drive them towards the established market. Today, though, it looks like that's exactly what they're doing.
Along with its parent company, Warner Bros., DC Comics is part of a relaunch of three kid-friendly sites, LooneyTunes.com, ScoobyDoo.com and DCKids.com. In addition to videos and games, they're putting up free full-length stories for kids --- including great all ages comics like Eric Jones and Landry Walker's Supergirl: Cosmic Adventures in the 8th Grade, and the best Looney Tunes comic ever.
Rocksteady Studios' Brand Marketing Producer Dax Ginn is back to provide another behind the scenes look at Batman: Arkham Knight's development with his team's latest Arkham Insider video. This time, Ginn is interviewing Lead Character Artist Albert Feliu Gomis, and we get all kinds of awesome info about Rocksteady's third and final game in the Arkham series, including details about the Dark Knight's mysterious new villain.
Mega City One has been through an awful lot over the past few years. Not only is there the usual crime that comes with being a fascist future state, but the city's also had to deal with stuff like the Chaos Plague, space lasers, all sorts of other problems. It's got so bad, in fact, that the city's 40,000 wealthiest citizens have got together to buy a spaceship and just get the heck out of Earth before something else happens.
That's where John Wagner and Greg Staples' Judge Dredd: Dark Justice picks up, with the launch of the Mayflower into deep space. Oh, and also the Dark Judges, the genocidal, immortal, inter-dimensional entities who see life itself as a crime, and punish it with mass murder are also coming back. So, you know, I'll let you guess how well that's gonna work out for 'em.
Marvel and director James Gunn have already started looking at actors for the sequel to last year's surprise hit Guardians of the Galaxy, due for release in May 2017. It may be too soon to expect any immediate announcements, but the coming months should give us a better idea which new characters will be introduced to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the second installment.
At least one more member is likely to join the team, and Gunn has said he hopes to have "at least two women in the next iteration of the Guardians." That would be a welcome change for a team with just one woman right now, Gamora, and four characters that present as male --- but which women from Marvel's roster of cosmic characters would fans like to see join the team? Here's your chance to weigh in!
The first trailer for CBS' forthcoming Supergirl series came under a fair bit of scrutiny for hewing too close to romantic comedies, but the network may want to brace itself for even more exposure. Months before its debut, the full Supergirl pilot has leaked online through torrent websites.

Develop, manage, and execute simulation-based tests
Simulink Test™ provides tools for authoring, managing, and executing systematic, simulation-based tests. You can create nonintrusive test harnesses to test models and subsystems. Simulink Test includes a test sequence block that lets you construct complex test sequences and assessments, and a test manager that lets you manage and execute tests. It enables functional, baseline, equivalence, and back-to-back testing, including software-in-the-loop (SIL) and processor-in-the-loop (PIL). You can generate reports, archive and review test results, rerun failed tests, and debug the component or system under test.
The test harness in Simulink Test lets you test components without creating a separate test model. You can apply pass and fail criteria that include absolute and relative tolerances, limits, logical checks, and temporal conditions. Test execution can be automated or customized with setup and cleanup scripts. Simulink Test stores test cases and their results, creating a repository for reviewing and investigating failures. You can link requirements to a test case captured in Microsoft® Word, IBM® Rational® DOORS®, and other documents (with Simulink Verification and Validation™).
Key Features
Test harness for subsystem or model testing
Test sequence block for running tests and assessments
Pass-fail criteria, including tolerances, limits, and temporal conditions

11th Hour
He's a fine actor . . .
By John DeSando, WCBE's It's Movie Time
"Perhaps catastrophe is the natural human environment, and even though we spend a good deal of energy trying to get away from it, we are programmed for survival amid catastrophe."
Germaine Greer
Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth sets the standard for responsible leftist documentaries, at least when compared with Michael Moore's screeds. So it is with heavy heart I report Leonardo DiCaprio's 11th Hour is a disappointing rehash of liberal hand wringing about global warming, soil erosion, and most other pre-apocalyptic disasters fomented by the upper monkeys?us.
So what else is new? Nothing, because producer DiCaprio and a variety of academic-type talking heads repeat ad nauseam clich?'s about nature and our responsibilities, seemingly saying the same thing for over an hour and a half. The only memorable moment for me came when Mother Nature's annual expenses were calculated at around $35 trillion. And she's not polluting and she's spending more than Exxon-Mobile makes in a year.
Unlike Gore's documentary, 11th Hour offers very little scholarship or stunning visuals (I remember well the glacier shots in Gore's Oscar winner). The Koyaanisqatsi-style montages would work even better if not intruded on by inane commentary.
I was hoping 11th Hour would offer suggestions about what we can do to address the problems it sets out. It offers little beyond some technological remedies except the heart-stopping note that 99 percent of all species that have ever been on this planet haven't survived. That about spells our doom since the durable birds are surely the one percent, not humans.
DiCaprio is distracting because his look is so different from the middle-aged pontificating types (Stephen Hawking and Mikhail Gorbachev represent the extremes, albeit they are impressive), he carries too much glamour for such a weighty subject, and the vanity shots of him at sunset are laughable. However, as in the case of Blood Diamond, I praise him for his social consciousness themes. As a doc maker, he's developing into a fine actor and citizen.
John DeSando teaches film at Franklin University and co-hosts WCBE 90.5's It's Movie Time, which can be heard streaming at www.wcbe.org Fridays at 3:01 pm and 8:01 pm and on demand anytime. Contact him at email@example.com

It wasn't all fun and games, however. In the spring of 2001, the mayor called on his faithful aide to handle one more firingthat of his wife.
Giuliani was in the process of separating from Donna Hanover, his spouse of 16 years, who was still living in the mayoral residence at Gracie Mansion with their two children. For some reason, she had strenuously objected when Giuliani brought his new girlfriend to the mansion. Despite the estrangement, she said, she was still the city's First Lady and thus entitled to a certain level of respect.
Carbonetti was now dispatched to handle this most delicate of situations. His solution has been enshrined in the city's Municipal Archives, where is found this memorable memo he sent to the mayor's wife on May 22, 2001:
"In light of the quite public parting of the ways between Donna Hanover and the Mayor, it is obviously disingenuous and inappropriate for Donna Hanover to continue to act as First Lady or in any other way as a representative of the Mayor." Making sure there were no misunderstandings, he continued: "Donna Hanover will no longer serve as First Lady, and my office will designate spokespersons, as appropriate, to act on behalf of the Mayor."
It was this type of forceful action that Rudy Giuliani must have been thinking of when he wrote these words in his book Leadership: "Looking back, I believe that the skill I developed better than any other was surrounding myself with great people."
After all, even Karl Rove never fired a First Lady.

A meeting on chinook salmon stocking allocations will be held Dec. 1 at Lakeshore Technical College in Cleveland, Wis.
The meeting is designed to share information on planned stocking reductions for 2013 as well as collect input from anglers and other interested parties on how Wisconsin should apportion its 2013 chinook stocking.
In response to record-low alewife abundance in the lake, fisheries managers in Wisconsin and other Lake Michigan states agreed this year to cut chinook salmon stocking.
Under the strategy, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan would stock 1.7 million chinook salmon in Lake Michigan next year, down from 3.3 million in 2012.
Michigan will take a 66% reduction in chinook stocking since its rivers produce natural reproduced salmon.
Wisconsin will see a 38% cut and Illinois and Indiana, which stock relatively few salmon, will take about 10% cuts.
Four previous stocking reductions (in 1986, '92, '98 and 2006) helped sustain the lake's world-class trout and salmon fishery.
For 2013, the Wisconsin DNR proposes to stock 692,426 brown trout, 814,999 chinook, 376,000 coho and 415,930 rainbow (steelhead) in Wisconsin waters of Lake Michigan.
In 2012, the DNR stocked 605,306 brown trout, 1,175,213 chinook, 542,192 coho and 398,520 rainbow.
Decisions about specific stocking numbers at Wisconsin ports have not yet been made and will be the focus of the Dec. 1 meeting.
The public will have input on how the allocations should be made. The meeting will start at 10 a.m.

Michelle Obama expresses outrage over kidnapping of Nigerian girls
Published on May 10, 2014 6:08 PM
WASHINGTON (REUTERS) - US First Lady Michelle Obama took the rare step of delivering her husband President Barack Obama's weekly radio address on Saturday to express outrage over the kidnapping of some 200 girls in Nigeria last month.
"Like millions of people across the globe, my husband and I are outraged and heartbroken over the kidnapping of more than 200 Nigerian girls from their school dormitory in the middle of the night," Mrs Obama said in the address.
"This unconscionable act was committed by a terrorist group determined to keep these girls from getting an education - grown men attempting to snuff out the aspirations of young girls."
Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan said on Friday he believed the girls, abducted by militant Islamist group Boko Haram, were still in his country.

He started piano lessons when he was 5. He wanted to play in the marching band, so he took up saxophone. Anne Carns said her son was such a gentleman, he gave up his role as first-chair saxophonist to a girl he liked.
"No," Billy said. "She was better than me."
He studied engineering at North Dakota State University, joined a fraternity (Sigma Alpha Epsilon) and hosted "The Wild Bill Show" on a local radio station ("1360 on radio row," he says in his radio announcer voice). He played country music, but he loved Elton John, Steely Dan, Bob Seger and Paul McCartney. His favorite song: "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me."
Billy got a job at Burroughs Corp. in Fargo, and he became a computer technician. Burroughs sent him all over the United States to help companies with their computer problems. He once went to Belgium as a tech troubleshooter, but he extended his trip to drink a few beers at Oktoberfest in Germany. He was a fun-loving, popular guy.
"He had such a bright future," said Ken Knodel, Billy's brother-in-law. "I think of what he could have been quite often.
"We miss that Billy. He was such a nice guy."
Billy didn't like being a troubleshooter. He wanted to be a systems designer. So he told Burroughs he was leaving. In a last-ditch effort to keep him in the company, Burroughs – which would later become Unisys – offered him a transfer to Southern California. Billy took the transfer happily.
In 1984, he moved to Chrisanta Drive in Mission Viejo. He was 28 years old.
"I thought someday he would have his own company," Knodel said. "He was a bright star."
The little yellow house on Chrisanta Drive needed work, which was perfect for Billy. He was a tinkerer. He made one of the bedrooms into a workshop, where he could modify speakers, amps and stereo systems. He converted a sunroom into a music room, where he could play his vinyl albums and enjoy the incredible sound.
Within a couple of months, his girlfriend from North Dakota moved in with him. (She is not named in this article because The Orange County Register generally does not publish the names of rape victims.) He drove an Audi Coupe GT, and she drove a 1974 Barracuda. They kept their North Dakota license plates to avoid paying higher fees in California.
The move-in was a bit scandalous back home. Billy had given his girlfriend a promise ring, but they were not married or engaged.
"You don't do that, Billy," Anne Carns told him.
"Mother, I have my bedroom, and she has hers," he assured her.

Suzanne's Basement Reno: Drywall Phase
And so our basement renovation moves along! (If you missed my previous posts, click here.)
After the drywall went up, it was finally bright and fresh, but a bit on the dull side. Although after all that construction mess, I was happy to see the space this clean.
This is what I call the "sauna" phase, when our 4"-wide panelling from Brenlo went up on most of the walls. This is pre-paint, and it felt like a true '70s basement for a moment. Even unpainted, you can see how much character the panelling added.
Going down the back stairs felt like you were entering a sauna, or a Calvin Klein ad from the early '90s.
This is the other staircase at the front of the house that leads to the laundry room. We're packing this space with oodles of Ikea storage for all of our fabric, tile, wood and paint samples. Plus a few laundry supplies.
And here is our new compact but functional laundry area across from the stairs. The stackable Whirlpool machines are brilliant, and I have to say that I prefer moving clothes in and out of the stackables — way less bending involved. I feel like I've stepped into the future with how well they operate, too. (That's our kitchen sink in the box on the left, ready for the next phase of renos in the upstairs kitchen.)
Another exciting day was when the first two boards of Moncer white oak flooring went down. It was wood overload down there for a moment! But I knew the walls were going to be painted out soon. This flooring is such amazing quality to have in basement and will add so much warmth and richness to the space.
At the back door, we recreated the herringbone pattern that was used in a guest bathroom from the Princess Margaret Hospital lottery showhome last year. We used all of the leftover black slate from our cottage shower, which I was thrilled about as I really hate having unused materials after a project. We heated the floors with Nuheat under-floor heating (you can see the coils by the door in this photo). It will come in handy for keeping the floor dry and warm in the winter. I love this hit of pattern right when you walk in.
And here is the bathroom almost finished! The back-mount Duravit sink sits on top of a floating white oak vanity that matches our Moncer flooring perfectly. And the Bestlite sconce that used to be in our bedroom feels right at home here.
And here are the walls with the first coat of Benjamin Moore's Cloud White (CC-40) paint on the panelling — so much brighter! The entire space will be Cloud White (always my go-to white paint). And it's the perfect choice for brightening up a basement.
Check in Friday, July 5th for the photos of the new basement kitchen!

Do They Understand (the Complexity of ADHD Kids)?
As parents, we must be honest about our children's struggles with attention deficit and hyperactivity, but it's equally important for others, especially insurance companies and government-funded health care programs, to understand the many sides of ADHD.
"How's Natalie?" "How much time do you have?" When your child has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD) and/or other mental health conditions, like my daughter Natalie does, "How's she doin'?" can be a hard question to answer. When I'm hoping to book a babysitter, I might give an answer with a positive spin: "She loves the new aquatic center! She'll swim for hours while I...

Crysis - how do I cap the FPS?
Hi there ...
does anybody know how to cap the fps at a certain value? Wouldnt it seem to run smoother when I cap the frames to ,lets say 30 fps so that the difference to my min.fps is not that obvious?
btw: sorry for my bad english - german @ work ;)
Re: Crysis - how do I cap the FPS?
Man I have been bitching about this for years. ALL GAMES NEED AN ADJUSTABLE FRAMERATE CAP !! Locking this game would do wonders for its feel considering that it is such a hog.

XLV: ESPN picks are in
By Kevin Seifert
FORT WORTH, Texas -- I know everyone is anxious to know who is picking whom for Super Bowl XLV.
Here is your one-stop shopping destination
for just about everyone who writes, edits and talks about the NFL for ESPN and ESPN.com. My pick is included. Let the shredding begin.


text: He light stayed lit for left front burner and cooling fan ran continuously for about a week William T. • Bahama, NC • June 17, 2014 Appliance: Frigidaire Electric Range FGES3065KFC My Repair & Advice It fixed itself. I purchased the thermostat and it arrived 2 days later. Before I had a chance to put it in we baked something on the convection setting. After the oven cooled, the HE light on the burner went out and the cooling fan stopped for the first time in about a week. That was about a week ago. I've used the burner since and everything is still working fine. After the stove cools, the light goes out and the cooling fan stops as normal. Before that I tried to get the HE light and cooling fan to go off by turning off power to the stove for a while and then by using the burner. Neither helped - the cooling fan just kept running and the HE light stayed on. Was this review helpful to you?

I do understand this is a common problem. I have read and tried most of the suggestions but have not found a good solutions. Thus I am posting my question.
- Enter the correct password, the computer loops back to login screen
- Enter an incorrect password ubuntu responds incorrect passwords
- Pressed ctrl + alt + f1 the console can be accessed, but does't recognize common commands such as ls, cp, cat, more etc
- The following command was added /etc/profile file before the occurrence of the current scenario: PATH="...:/opt/qt/lib" (This was an error)
- echo command works
- Do an echo $PATH the response is "...:/opt/qt/lib"
- Currently /etc/profile looks something like the following
# ~/.profile: executed by the command interpreter for login shells. # This file is not read by bash(1), if ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login # exists. # see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files for examples. # the files are located in the bash-doc package. # the default umask is set in /etc/profile; for setting the umask # for ssh logins, install and configure the libpam-umask package. #umask 022 # if running bash if [ -n "$BASH_VERSION" ]; then # include .bashrc if it exists if [ -f "$HOME/.bashrc" ]; then . "$HOME/.bashrc" fi fi # set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH" fi PATH="...:/opt/qt/lib" # This line is in error
So if /etc/profile file can be edited to remove the last line the problem might be solved.
Any suggestions how this can be achieved.
Thank you in advance

American Express Moves Up Bank Annuity Rankings; Firm Ranked 11th Largest Bank Annuity Writer in 2001.
MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 11, 2002
American Express Financial Group, through American Enterprise Life Insurance Company (AEL), has been recognized as the 11th largest overall bank annuity writer in 2001, up three places in rank from 2000, according to the year-end 2001 analysis published in The Kehrer Report.
American Express Financial Group saw overall bank annuity sales grow by 25% in 2001. Bank annuity sales accounted for 21% of total industry annuity premiums in the United States, according to the report. During a year when the overall industry dropped 29% for variable annuities, American Express registered 11% growth in variable annuity sales in 2001. American Express was one of only three carriers to see its variable annuity sales increase in 2001, which led to its year-to-year rank jumping six places to eighth largest variable annuity writer. The firm also saw fixed annuity sales jump 225% on the year, well ahead of the industry average of 58% growth in 2001. American Express moved from 17th to 15th in rank on fixed annuity sales.
"Our strategic partnership approach and our focus on expanding our distributor relationships have paid off in a big way for us in 2001," said Carol Holton, president of American Enterprise Life. "These results prove that we are delivering value to our institutional agents and their clients with our competitive products and improving the ease of doing business every day with us. We are attracting some of the largest annuity distributors in the business and are excited to see strong growth continuing in 2002."
The Kehrer Report (www.kenkehrer.com) is written by Kenneth Kehrer, a highly regarded New Jersey-based consultant. The publication reports on bank insurance and investment industry statistics on a quarterly and annual basis.
Based in Minneapolis, American Express Financial Group, American Enterprise Life Company (AEL) and its affiliate American Centurion Life Assurance Company (ACL) provide financial institution clients an array of products and services to support their retail annuity operations. AEL offers fixed and variable annuities and variable universal life insurance directly to financial institutions nationwide. ACL markets fixed and variable annuities in New York. Both are affiliated with American Express Financial Advisors Inc. (AEFA), which provides financial advisory services and investment programs for more than 2.3 million clients. AEFA, member NASD, is the principal underwriter of the variable products issued by AEL and ACL. AEL and ACL had $5.5 billion of assets at the end of 2001. Reserves for policyholder benefits and other liabilities totaled $5.2 billion. AEL and ACL are subsidiaries of IDS Life Insurance Company, which is a subsidiary of American Express Financial Corporation, a well-known and respected leader in financial services. American Express Financial Corporation has more than $253 billion in assets owned, managed or administered as of 12/31/01.

The White House's plans to recover the $50 billion to be sunk into General Motors depends on a quick rebound by the US automaker, analysts say.
BBC is negotiating with Google to have episodes of the British broadcaster's TV series available through the BBC iPlayer, sources close to the talks say. The anonymous sources said BBC Director-General Mark Thompson and Google Chairman Eric Schmidt have been discussing a joint venture that would create an international version of the broadcaster's iPlayer, The Daily Telegraph reported Friday. The sources said the new iPlayer version would be supported in an unspecified capacity by the video-sharing Web site YouTube, which is owned by Google. YouTube carries short clips of some BBC series, but no full episodes.
Poland's statistics office said the gross domestic product rose 0.8 percent in the first three months this year, a rare success among European Union countries.

Rising gas prices in the United States may hinder government attempts to bring the country out of recession, an analyst says. Tom Kloza, the Oil Price Information Service's chief oil analyst, said with gas prices rising steadily nationwide, struggling Americans may limit their summer vacations and therefore limit the country's economic recovery, CNN/Money reported Saturday. There's way too much optimism about a driving season lift, Kloza said. As of Saturday, a gallon of regular unleaded gas was selling at $2.488 national on average.

Tour guide was super funny. Not really scary more history oriented, which we appreciated. Great for those who appreciate history!
Reviewed by: Stephen C, August 2014
My family and I loved this tour. I would definitely recommend this tour to others as it was recommended to me. Our tour guide, Alexander Clapperton, unfortunately deceased and his assistant (who played several different roles) were just hilarious and told some great ghostly tales. Unfortunately, I didn't get our tour guide's name, but he was fantastic (young student age, long blonde hair) in his role. The gentleman who played each character was great as well. Well worth the time and money. I would highly recommend this tour while in Edinburgh.

Extreme Puppy Makeover – #PrankitFWD [VIDEO]
Get the tissue because you will not be able to watch this entire video without a smile on your face and tears in your eyes.
Get the tissue because you will not be able to watch this entire video without a smile on your face and tears in your eyes.
While "Awww" might be the perfect name for a puppy since that's the first word many people make when seeing one, it has yet to catch on. In fact, it seems like pet owners aren't changing at all when it comes to picking a name for their puppies.
And here's the most "awww" video you may ever see.
This little girl finally gets what she's been wanting for a very long time, a puppy! We've all wanted something so bad that we'd do almost anything to get it, then when we do we just can't believe it. That's exactly what happened to her, she breaks down and cries as she's given what I'm sure will be her greatest Birthday present ever, a dog.
I don't know what you were planning on doing for the rest of today, but you can put it off until tomorrow. Someone has set up the most adorable live webcam, and these puppies aren't getting any younger.
Just when you thought CarMax raised the bar of cuteness with their "Slow Bark" commercial, Budweiser's Super Bowl 2014 commercial went and melted our hearts.
Kickoff meets lickoff in the Puppy Bowl X.
'Tis the season for miracles.
It's hard to resist an adorable puppy.
These animals know what's up. They know your secret. They know you're in on the joke. They know how to close their eyes one at a time. They know how to be adorable. They know how to wink.
At first, it's a little unnerving to see a big ol' dog playing with a teeny-tiny baby.
It's been a particularly rough week, so we thought we'd try to cheer everyone up with a few of the cutest dog GIFs ever. These dogs are heart-meltingly cute and are sure to brighten up even the darkest days. They'll make you just want to cuddle up and smile! Have a safe weekend everyone!

Few Westerners doubt the South Caucasus country of Georgia's commitment to eventual integration with Europe. But as a massive currency devaluation tightens the squeeze on Georgia's relatively fragile economy, calls are increasing for ordinary Georgians to reconsider the actual benefits of that commitment.
The European Union is making a push to raise its profile in two trouble spots in the South Caucasus, Abkhazia and Nagorno-Karabakh. Brussels insists its forays in the region are nothing more than routine diplomacy. But some observers believe the EU is hoping to push back against Russia's troublemaking in Ukraine.
As the Russian economy tanks, some observers are starting to ask: is the Kremlin now too overstretched to continue supporting Georgia's separatist entities? The answer so far apparently is no.
Georgian cinema has the wind at its back once again after spending a lengthy period in the creative doldrums. With two films short-listed for an Oscar, one of which is also up for a Golden Globe, Georgian directors have risen from the ashes of a collapsed film industry, showing that even with limited resources it is possible to make world-class films.
The Russian-owned mining company RMG Gold this past Saturday, December 13, overlooked an earlier court order and went ahead and started working a piece of Georgian land, Sakdrisi, that many archeologists claim contains the world's oldest known gold mine. Opponents to the mining operation are putting up a fight, but, as yet, the economic odds appear stacked against them.
The battle began in July 2013, when Georgia's Ministry of Culture abolished Sakdrisi's seven-year-old status as a permanently protected historical site. The decision produced a sharp reaction from local civil society activists and international academics.
In June, the Tbilisi City Court overruled the Ministry of Culture's decision about Sakdrisi's status, putting a hold on mining operations. RMG Gold and archaeologists were supposed to discuss a compromise, but, apparently, matters were taking too long for the mining company, believed to be one of Georgia's largest taxpayers.
Unexpectedly, the culture ministry late last week gave the green-light for mining operations to start up again.
The archeological site sits on a 22.24-acre plot of land believed to contain 75 percent of an estimated 20 tons of gold. At $38.83 per gram, that's nothing to sneer at.
Gold happens to be one of Georgia's top ten exports and brought in $3.52 million in 2013, or 2.9 percent of the country's total export earnings. As of earlier this year, RMG, which owns the plot of land on which Sakdrisi stands, has invested $300 million into the cash-strapped Georgian economy, according to Prime Minister Irakli Gharibashvili.
A decade ago, it was just another down-at-heels vacation destination. But the Black Sea resort town of Sochi has been transformed by hosting the 2014 Winter Olympics. And now, it aims to become a Russian version of Monte Carlo.
When Rasulov Bakhtier arrived in Abkhazia in 2012 as a migrant laborer, he had no idea he would be prohibited from returning to his native Uzbekistan via Russia. As a result, Bakhtier, a construction worker and father of two, now finds himself among hundreds of "guest captives" in the separatist enclave.
The booming rhythms and bass beats of electronic music go on for 24 hours a day in a small village on Georgia's Black Sea coastline, and the reverberations are being felt across this South-Caucasus country.
Below Tbilisi's Rose Revolution Square and its shiny Radisson-Blu Hotel lies a crumbling, urine-dappled, underground labyrinth with bunker-like hideaways blaring Turkish and Middle Eastern dance music. Some allegedly are not just venues for drinks and stripteases.
His nom de guerre is Omar al-Shishani (Omar the Chechen), and he has gained a fearsome reputation as a commander in the dreaded terrorist jihadi group, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. But al-Shishani is no Chechen. His birth name is Tarkhan Batirashvili, and he is a citizen of Georgia from the Pankisi Gorge, a remote corner of this South-Caucasus country.

Economic activity inevitably generates disputes, and economic activity between parties in China and the U.S. is no exception. But where should those disputes be resolved?
Resolution in the national courts of China or the United States often is not a viable option. There is no treaty compelling a Chinese court to enforce the judgment of a court in the U.S., or requiring a U.S. court to enforce the judgment of a Chinese court.
