Country Cooking
Kangaroo loin, crocodile ceviche and tartare–a taste of Australia
More News from Micky Fenix
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
The Old Manila menu of "Tasting Australia" made me smile, when I began recognizing some of the enumerated bush ingredients. The one that rang a bell was lemon myrtle in the dessert, the cheesecake with macadamia nuts. Hmmmm.
It was at the same venue in The Peninsula Manila years ago when lemon myrtle was introduced to me by chef Andrew Fielke, who owned the Red Ochre Grill restaurant in Adelaide, South Australia.
The ingredient is a leaf from a big rainforest tree; the leaf smells like a strong lemon grass but looks like a mango leaf. That aroma was certainly there in that cheesecake and gave the dessert a citrusy flavor.
I've lost that Red Ochre menu to the waters of Tropical Storm "Ondoy," but Fielke has a Tuckeroo food service Internet site where the other indigenous ingredients are photographed and explained. What I do still have with me is the Anzcham (Australia New Zealand Chamber of Commerce) award I got for writing that article on chef Andrew Fielke's visit here.
The launch of "Tasting Australia" featured two unlikely meats— crocodile and kangaroo. As we took a bite, we stole glances at how our Australian tablemates from the embassy looked as they bit into their food. But I can tell you that the crocodile ceviche and tartare were hardly recognizable, looked like fish and, yes, tasted like it, and flavored with mango, pumpkin, beet, pomelo and pepperberry. The latter, according to Fielke, is a "dried fruit of the mountain pepper."
Main dish was kangaroo loin, very lean steak-like pieces. The sauce had quandong jus, a kind of fruit that looks like a dried red plum. It was served with kumara, the native name for an orange-colored sweet potato dusted with dukka, an Egyptian dip that is a mix of herbs, nuts and spices.
But for most of us at the table, it was the yakajirri hollandaise on the asparagus that was a showstopper. Again, yakajirri is a spice mix where the main ingredient is bush tomato, giving the sauce a yellow orange tinge. It is a tribute to the two Pen chefs, Adam Mathis and Anthony Craven, that even the sidings get talked about. Mathis is the current executive chef at The Peninsula Tokyo, and is here just to cook for the festival. Craven is the chef of Escolta, the Pen's buffet outlet.
Completing this Australian show was Sonja Vodusek, The Pen's general manager, an Aussie as well who proudly opened the fest and who promised to have the outstanding bread with a mix of blue cheese in it available at the deli.
"Tasting Australia" is on from Jan. 27-Feb. 3 at Escolta, Old Manila, a "barbie" poolside and a cooking lesson. A diner can win a round-trip ticket for two to Sydney on board a Qantas A380. Call 8872888.
Peking Duck
Some of us had an early Chinese New Year celebration when chef Yuan Chaoying visited from Shangri-La's Kerry Hotel in Beijing to cook his specialty—Peking duck. He used to work at the 200-year-old Quanjude restaurant where the specialty is this crisp roasted duck.
The process of producing this special dish was taught me by my sister, who took lessons at a cooking school in Binondo. I remember being awed at how the duck had to be blown to stretch the skin and help separate skin from flesh. Blowing the traditional way was done by the teacher, she said. Students like her had a pump to do it.
At the Summer Palace of Edsa Shangri-La, restaurant manager Nancy Farm showed us how the duck as cooked by chef Yuan didn't need extra flavoring. Here she asked the chef to cut off just the skin for us to taste, and she was right—the duck was good enough as is.
For a bit of sauce, hoi sin is used, but I was told chef Yuan had to add some salted peanuts to the hoi sin sauce available, because it was too sweet for him. Double the pleasure, Nancy said, and here she combined two pancakes in one so that there was less carbo but more meat.
The duck is just one dish for the Chinese New Year's feast. There will certainly be other dishes chosen because they are considered lucky. The reasons can be quite confusing for a non-Chinese speaker, since many of the ingredients should sound like gold or lucky or money. Something like that.
Nancy said fish is considered lucky, but for landlocked places in China where fish is hard to get by or is expensive, it can take just a fish-shaped tikoy to increase your luck.
It's too bad that chef Yuan finished his visit last Saturday. But Peking duck is still available at Summer Palace any time of the year. And I suppose the chefs here have learned how to make it even better from their visiting chef from Beijing.

Happy New Year Highlands! In case you are wondering, storytimes are the same for 2011.
Baby - 10:15
Toddler - 10:40
It's time for another performance by the Houston Opera to Go! Join us at the Highlands Community Center next Monday, January 3rd at 10 am for "Bantam of the Opera."
Bantam of the Opera by Mary Jane Auch
"Luigi is a country rooster who loves singing along with the opera he hears on the radio. When he sneaks a ride into the city hoping to see a live performance, the star of the show catches a bad case of chicken pox and threatens to cancel the performance! Could this be Luigi's big break? " (taken from the Storybook Opera Website)
This event is open to all ages and is free to all in attendance. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
HCPL's Digital Library has many eBooks, music and movies that can be downloaded and "checked out" for free. If you are thinking of buying someone a gift, or will be receiving a gift, or already own one of the many devices that accepts digital downloads, you might want to check to see if it is compatible to the HCPL's available downloads.
In these economic times when we all are feeling the crunch, we still want to give during this time of year. Besides the ever present needs for volunteers in our community, there are our friends and loved ones that we want to remember with gifts in special ways. Let's get 'old fashioned'. Go find the scissors, glue, needle and thread, all the almost finished craft projects, the sparkles and bangles and create something personal for each one on your list.
It's time again for our monthly family workshop/storytime: Para Los Ninos! It will be held during our normal toddler storytime this Thursday at 10:40 am. The theme is "Raise a Reader." If you are curious as to what activities we will do, they can be viewed here , on page 15.
The Para Los Ninos workshops are structured in such a way as to allow parents and children plenty of time after the storytime to participate in and rotate through several activity stations.
See you there!

Insurance Agent Certification and Licensing Information
Learn about the education and preparation needed to become an insurance agent. Get a quick view of the requirements as well as details about licensing and job duties to find out if this is the career for you.
Essential Information
Insurance agents sell policies to individuals, groups and companies. They also help clients file claims. Types of insurance include life, health, product and property, disability, long-term care and casualty insurance. Some agents work for insurance companies, while others are independent and sell the policies of several insurers. Insurance agent certification and licensing standards vary by state and the type of insurance product.
|Required Education
|High school diploma or equivalent
|Required Skills
|Customer service, analytical and communicative skills
|Exam Requirements
|Completion of pre-licensing coursework (for most states), passing score on licensing exam
|Projected Job Growth (2012-2022)
|Median Salary (2013)
'Source: *Bureau of Labor Statistics
Certification for Insurance Agents
The American Institute for Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter (AICPCU) and the Insurance Institute of America (IIA) jointly offer several certification and designation programs. The most well known program is the Certificate in General Insurance, which covers fundamental insurance principles and types of coverage. Other certifications offered by these organizations include Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter (CPCU), Associate in Claims (AIC), Associate in Insurance Services (AIS), Associate in Personal Insurance (API) and Accredited Advisor in Insurance (AAI).
Licensing Information
Each state requires insurance agents to hold a license to sell policies. Most states require separate licenses to sell property and casualty insurance versus life and health insurance. The majority of states also require licensed insurance agents to complete continuing education programs every two years. Agents may take continuing education courses to learn more about various policies or to keep up with changing tax laws and government regulations that impact the insurance industry.
Licensing Requirements
Most states require prospective insurance agents to complete pre-licensing coursework before taking state licensing exams. States typically require a specific number of pre-licensing class hours for each type of insurance. In many states, applicants who hold certain certifications from other states or specific professional designations may be exempt from some pre-licensing requirements. There is no requirement that insurance agents hold a college degree to obtain a license, but most employers prefer to hire applicants who hold an associate's or bachelor's degree in fields such as business, accounting, economics, math or finance.
Education for Licensing
Pre-licensing training courses that prepare individuals for state certification exams are offered by special schools for insurance agents and some insurance companies. Additionally, the AICPCU, IIA and the National Alliance for Insurance Education and Research (NAIER) provide pre-licensing courses and seminars. The curriculum for insurance agent certification and licensing courses includes commercial insurance, property and casualty, life and health, liability and government regulations.
Employment Outlook
Due to the growing diversity of the United States, there is an increasing need for insurance agents who can speak languages other than English. The burgeoning elderly population is also expected to spur growth in some insurance products, including long-term-care and health insurance. College graduates with good people skills and knowledge of several insurance and financial products will have an edge in the job market. The number of insurance sales jobs is expected to grow 10% between 2012-2022, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (www.bls.gov). Insurance agents earned a median annual salary of $48,210 in May 2013.

This guy is the WORST. STAY AWAY. WHAT A RIP OFF. We took our moped in for service told him what we felt was wrong with it. Went back three days later only to be told that is was $60.00 and now the bike doesn't run. Kenny is rude and ignorant. He lied about everything and when we caught him in the lies he got mad. I would drive to forked river before I would go back to him again. Seems Kenny has a very poor reputation anyone I spoke to would say go anywhere but mini trails
Mike (I visited this Dealer)
They were rude and sarcastic and treated me and my family inappropriately. Called my daughter a liar.

#1 would be your keen observation of shots and movement.
I have to agree that a big serve alone won't do it. I have a very strong and developed serve (for my recreational level), includind a wicked kick serve, and even though I do get many free points, I seem to win more easily when I go about 50 or 60 %. I'm starting to guess that many times when I go for huge bombs, my mind is not clear enough to play the point and I'll likely make more mistakes on not so difficult returns. People seem to handle a fast serve better than a well placed one - they somehow get it back, and with an unclear mind, even a weaker return becomes tricky. And then, of course, I try even harder on the next one, eventually getting tired, frustrated and defeated. In the end, I'll win or lose if my overall game is better or worse than the other guy's, regardless of my so-called big serve. There's no point on forcing my shoulders to ace the opponent, in this case.
nice opinions, keep them coming, guys.

Missing GL extensions
I think I must be doing something stupid.
I have installed the 3123 drivers on redhat 7.3.
X works fine. When I run the command "glxinfo", I get a huge list of supported extensions.
In my app, when I query the extension list via glGetString (GL_EXTENSIONS), the list is very short. I do get a reasonable looking renderer and gl version. Also, my GLX extension list is shorter (no pbuffers, for example).
When I run my app, it runs fast enough that I am pretty sure it must be using the nvidia drivers.
Here is what my application logs:
Renderer: "Quadro DCC/AGP/3DNOW!"
Extensions: "GL_ARB_multitexture GL_ARB_imaging GL_EXT_abgr GL_EXT_blend_color GL_EXT_blend_minmax GL_EXT_blend_subtract "
GL version: 1.3 ("1.3.1 NVIDIA 31.23")
GLX Extensions: "GLX_EXT_visual_info GLX_EXT_visual_rating GLX_EXT_import_context "
What am I missing?
This is really just a guess, but it seems to me that perhaps the wrong GL library is being referenced?
I believe the default library referenced should be lib.gl.so.1 (or something like that...). Make sure that this is linked to the library included in the drivers you downloaded.
What's your code look like?
I did see something that might be relevant, in the glGetString() manpage:
Like I said, post your code, that might help...
Thanks for your replies.
Here is /usr/lib/libGL*. I think it looks ok.
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Oct 7 20:01 /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1 -> libGLcore.so.1.0.3123*
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 3623820 Aug 27 19:36 /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1.0.3123*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Oct 7 20:01 /usr/lib/libGL.so -> libGL.so.1*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Oct 7 20:01 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.0.3123*
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 283444 Aug 27 19:36 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.0.3123*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Oct 7 13:30 /usr/lib/libGLU.so -> ../../usr/X11R6/lib/libGLU.so.1.3*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Oct 7 13:16 /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1 -> ../../usr/X11R6/lib/libGLU.so.1.3*
If I break my program at glGetString, then gdb tells me that it is in
0x40caaa50 0x40cd41ac Yes /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
So, I think that the right libGL is being used.
I am displaying to my local machine.
Found problem (thanks)
I found the problem. I was trying to create a simple code example for you all to look at and I noticed that it worked - so it was definitely my app.
I added a call to glXMakeCurrent before querying for extensions and now I have them all. I thought it was already current I guess it was not. The bizarre thing is that I thought glGetString normally returned NULL if there was no context current
Again, thanks for your replies.

Rapid FX Personal Fitness Cotswolds
During the last year I joined a local gym called RapidFX who are based in Draycott when I first joined it was with the intention like most things to see how it goes and then go from there but shortly after joining RapidFX I found it to be like no other Gym I had ever used it was friendly and very useful.
Tim Spittle who is the owner of RapidFX has years of experience in Personal Training and can offer very helpful advice on all sorts of diet plans and training plans depending on your goal.
I would highly recommend RapidFX to anyone looking to join a local, friendly and helpful gym

Historical Traveler Reviews Fisher's Hotel Pitlochry
What do you expect for 3 ***'s
Stayed for two nights B&B, in a single room.
It was okay, the staff in the restaurant were quite attentive, but late evening at the reception, were conspicuous by their absence. This gave me cause for concern re security.
I might stay here again but if so, would take my key out on the town!!
We liked it very much good valentines weekend
we went to the fishers hotel last year for valentines weekend found it very good food very well presented but after all we are scottish and dont find any problems not like the english always compaining about everything
The Poor House
My wife and I stayed in the Hotel for two nights, when we arrived, we parked in the car park, which is about 500+ meters away. First impresions were off puting as the receptions is poor and all the staff are young. The first room we were given was in poor order, dirty and it had no shower. It did have a bath which had all the enamle peeling off. The second room we were moved to was cleaner, but the bed needed the bible put under one of the legs to stop it rocking. the curtians were also off the rail. It did have a shower but no bath. The shower was only big enough to stand in, but you could not bend to pick anything up. The halls were in poor condition and the carpets could have done with a good clean. the food in the resturant was ok, but nothing to write home about. the gents toilets did not have any hand driers fitted and the towel holders were empty the full two days we were there, even although, we reported it. Overall a poor hotel with little to offer, I am well traveled and I would never use it again.
took my mum away for the night to what i thought would be a lovely quite hotel. got a good deal through a sunday paper (�90 DB&B).
arrived to find there was not a car parking space in the entire village. the room was freezing and the tv did not work. there was holes in the walls and the noise from the pub next door was unbearable. the toilet grumbled loudly everytime somebody upstairs flushed the toilet and the bath curtain was black with mould. the towels were thread bare. we could hear every word the people upstairs were saying. i understand its an old hotel but there is no excuse for filth (eg unempty bins and dirty cups)!
next came the meal. we were abruptly told to take a seat by the waiter. the menu was very basic and we were sat in what i can only describe as a school canteen. the noise was unbearable as was the service. we were offered a bread roll before we had even taken off our coats and offered a drink inbetween the main course and dessert. the soup was like dishwater and the salmon had been cooked in a microwave. i couldnt try my shop bought mirangue because it flew on to the floor when i tried to eat it.
i have only ever before had to write good reviews but i can safely say that at �90 i was well and truly ripped off!!! a shocking hotel. terrible.
Having read previous reviews of this hotel, I was dubious about staying, however it could not have been better. The managemnet, staff and service were first class and the food etc was superb. We were made feel totally at home and nothing was ever too much trouble.
I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough and the refurbishment of the puiblic areas has certainly made this one of the best hotels in Pitlochry.
Very shabby hotel
We spent two nights here on a week long trip to Scotland. The hotel was disappointing to say the least. The room was shabby, in desperate need of an overhaul. The curtains were hanging off the rails, the shower was the smallest I have ever seen. The breakfast itself was OK (although one was bought out way before the other) but we had to wait 20 minutes before we could be seated which is unheard of in a hotel. Plus, most of the staff couldn't understand English so we didn't get what we ordered. Making matters worse, the restaurant manager was very unfriendly, making us feel like we a total inconvenience to have the cheek to complain as we didn't get what we ordered.
I would not recommend this hotel at all!!!
Ok for oldies!
we arrived at the hotel at 3pm for chekck in - a lovely entrance and check in desk - staff were polite and friendly. We had 2 double rooms booked for 1 night - we ended up with a triple room and a twin room so no problems! we reserved dinner as it was very busy - it was a great meal - very traditional scottish menu and for the money it offered excellent choices. breakfast was good too you really cant go wrong with a full scottish to start the day! There are 2 lounge areas smoking and non smoking all refurbished to a high standard and very nice. The bedrooms are a good size but my only suggestion would have been that when they took the time to decorate the place why on earth did they put the same curtains and bed covers back on as that made it feel old and tired.
Fishers has a busy bar attached to it which attracts younger who cheer the place up a lot - the weekend dinner dance is obviously aimed at the older generation and the cabaret act was ok. Overall a good old hotel which is being run well by its managers and it shows. the food was good the atmosphere was good the position of the hotel is great as the bus stop is at the door. I would go back but only when i am over that hill and can enjoy the relaxed atmosphere it offers!just not ready for that yet though!
We found this hotel overcrowded, our room was up in the roof. Curtains would not close, were 18" from top of window. Room was dingy & cold. Bathroom, shower would not work and we reported this twice. Food O.K. entertainment average. Would definitely not use this hotel again.
Huge Disappointment
My new Husband and I arrived on the third day of our honeymoon. We had booked the room some time before and had explained that we were on honeymoon and so, obviously, booked a double bed. On arrival, we found that the reception area was dirty, tatty and certainly very unwelcoming. We held our breath and went up to our room. Imagine our disappointment on discovering they had put us in a twin room. That was bad enough but the room was horrible. Wallpaper peeling off the walls, the carpet hadn't seen a vacuum cleaner for some time, the bedding was ripped and all in all it was just terrible. I immediately went down to reception where they duly apologised for the 'misunderstanding' and offered to find us accommodation elsewhere in Pitlochry. This they did and so we ended up in a beautiful 3 star hotel which was far superior to Fishers. How on earth Fishers got 3 stars is an absolute mystery to myself and my Husband. We will never recommend anybody to even go near the place.
Great Time had by all
My husband, in-laws and myself had the pleasure of staying at this hotel and I can highly recommend it. The staff were helpful and polite. The food was good and the accomodation very comfortable. The town of Pitlochry itself is beautiful. I would definately return.

First Street Cemetery
Waco's first graveyard does not go without a little controversy. According to some people's recollection, the original graveyard may be covered in some portion by the Texas Ranger Museum. It is said that some of the black person's graves are not underneath the museum.
There is also reason to believe that some of the graveyard has actually washed away by the rising and falling of the Brazos River.
Although I am not a huge cemetery visitor, this one is well taken care of now, it has been around since 1852.
To find this graveyard, follow instructions to Texas Ranger Museum, and it will be just south of the museum.

The 15 wood frame buildings that make up the 13 acre Gov. Bill & Vara Daniel Historic Village continue the Crossroads of Texas theme present in the Mayborn Museum Complex on Baylor University's campus. Giving visitors an accurate view of life in Texas from the latter part of the 19th Century into the early 20th Century, the village is a wonderful place to take a look at our Western Heritage.

Cameron Park Zoo
Not many people would expect Waco, TX to have a zoo.... but Waco suprises many people every year with this wonderful collection of exotic animals.
From the Cameron Park website:
In 1955, a group of outdoor sports and wildlife enthusiasts established the Central Texas Zoological Park to create recreation and education opportunities for Central Texas residents through the observation of natural wildlife.
In November 2000, the residents of McLennan County passed a $9.5 million bond for continued expansion of the Cameron Park Zoo. The bond money is committed to build the signature display, Brazos River Country. It will be an educational display combining 120 species of indigenous wildlife found along the Brazos River from the Gulf of Mexico to its origin in New Mexico. Scheduled for completion in late 2004 or early 2005, the display will take the visitor through seven vegetation zones of Texas incorporating the natural and cultural history of each region. Additionally some of the funds from the bond will be used to bring Orangutans and Komodo dragon displays in 2005-2006.
Austin is south of Waco and is the capital of the state of Texas and is a beautiful city surrounded by hills, valleys and lakes which run through the city – although to me they look more like rivers. There are more than 100 live music venues which offer evening performances making Austin the "Live Music Capital of the World".
- Eco-Tourism
Corsicana is located north of Waco. The city's historic downtown area has numerous ornate buildings of the era and many lovely Victorian homes lining brick paved streets. There is a Pioneer Village, the Warehouse of Living Arts Center, a temple as well as a Collins Street Bakery and other attractions.

They certainly are a challenge. What kind of alt processes are you doing with the big negs? Looking forward to seeing more. I tend to stay away from big clear skies whenever possible. Another challenge is when the sun is going in and out of the clouds while the camera is scanning. The more you do it the better it gets.

Biography All Music GuideWikipedia
All Music Guide:
Affectionately known as "Ibo," Ibrahim Tatlises (born: Ibrahim Tatli) is one of Turkey's biggest stars. In addition to hosting his own television program, The Ibo Show, on the private ATV station and appearing in several dozen films, Tatlises has been one of Turkey's most prolific recording artists. His 23 cassettes include Ayaginda Kandura, which broke all sales records in Turkey in 1978, and Selam Oslun, which focused on traditional Turkish folk music played on indigenous instruments.
Born in 1954 to a homeless family, Tatlises was raised by his mother, following his father's death in 1956. Music provided an outlet for emotional stress. Inspired by Turkish vocalist Yilmaz Guerney, he began singing at weddings and other celebrations while still in his teens. Although he released a cassette in 1975, it failed to sell, and Tatlises temporarily left music. Moving to Istanbul with his family in 1977, Tatlises worked as a salesman until recording his second cassette, Ayaginda Kandura. The cassette's success proved to be the launching pad for Tatlises' still-thriving career. A major star during the mid- to late '80s, he recorded numerous dance hits with the accompaniment of an orchestra and was recognized as a master of the rural uzun havea style (marked by lengthy, semi-improvised tunes). Tatlises has been embraced by the Turkish communities in Germany who call him "the voice of the homeland."

Jun 6, 2011BRILLIANT! This film is a must see and an excellent watch! The film is interesting,funny and action-packed! I loved it! It also has a bit of mystery and excitement that everyone enjoys!
Jun 6, 2011This movie is generally good, however, the script is not amazing! One moment you are on the edge of your seat and the next you are rolling around on the floor laughing! A MUST SEE! 1O 1O 1O!
Apr 14, 2014This is such a underrated movie. THIS IS A TRUE FUNNY FILM!!! Great acting, great storyline, Great humour/jokes. Classic film still watch it. 10 out of 10
When all's said and done, it turns out to be quite sweet-natured. OK. I laughed. So sue me.
The sight and sound of Lawrence in fat-lady drag remains engaging throughout; script may often let him down, forcing him to keep things afloat almost single-handedly.
Any movie that employs an oven mitt and a plumber's friend in a childbirth scene cannot be all bad, and I laughed a lot.

Jan 17 | slcsux's Blog
A big winter storm is supposed to be on the way, but its after 9 and there is nothing out there but rain and a few pieces of sleet. The school system has already called a 2 hr delay, and I am so looking forward to sleeping a little late tomorrow. Just in case we do get the 6 inches of snow that has been predicted, I got some kerosene, filled my car with gas and made some cookies to much on tonight. So I went to rehearsal this morning and asked my director if she got my message yesterday. She said she did and that it was not a problem because she knew I would remember my choreography and that she trusted me. That made me feel so much better!. We started a new duet with me and another dancer, its going to be good. Im really excited about this upcoming project. After rehearsal I came back home took a short nap and then got ready to go do my flu clinic. With the threat of bad weather a lot of people either cancelled or just didnt show up for their flu vaccine which made for a long afternoon. My last patient of the day was one of my regulars. That mom is the total opposite of the mom from yesterday and is always very nice to me and asks how I am. When I was going through my break up with Tony, they came in for a check-up and she asked if I was ok and menitoned how much weight I had lost and looked bad. Of all the people I see everyday she was the only one who bothered to ask. Today she asked how I was and said I looked good. There are a few nice people left. Enjoying my favorite night of TV, Greys Anatomy and Scandal before abs and bed. So glad tomorrow is Friday, its been a really long week. No Nutcracker money today, we have rehearsal on Sunday, so maybe then.

School Days
Alamo Drafthouse Littleton's September programming is all about back-to-school themes — and Mean Girls is the perfect choice for a quote-along, notes Alamo spokesman Keith Garcia. "When you think about movies that bring back all the feelings, good and bad, about being in school, Mean Girls is right at the top. And as a quote-along, Tina Fey did such an amazing job of writing that screenplay that there are so many good bon mots and lines." (It also could be the last film in which you get to see Lindsay Lohan portraying any kind of innocence on screen and not feel the need to snicker.)
The point of a quote-along, Garcia explains, is not to shout along with every line in the movie — "because that would be a messy free-for-all," he says. Instead, there will be a host and props, and subtitles will appear before the quote-along lines, with those particular words highlighted so the audience can join in (even if you don't know the film by heart).
Catch the story of a girl attending her first-ever public high school after spending her childhood in Africa (and the hilarity that ensues as she tries to infiltrate the popular clique) at the Drafthouse, 7301 South Santa Fe Drive in Littleton, as part of the cinema's "Girlie Night" offerings; screenings are tonight at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 2:45 p.m. There will be drink specials for the grownups in the audience; children ages six to seventeen must be accompanied by an adult. Tickets are $12.50. Visit drafthouse.com/denver/littleton for information.

Open-source DIY Tabby car can be constructed in 60 minutes
OSVehicle Project Chief Designer Marco Borge stands next to the Urban TABBY during EICMA Milan 2013
The Urban Tabby features a structure that you can mount on top of the Tabby
The Urban Tabby is a road-ready and certified car which will be legally recognized in Europe, Asia and the United States
The DIY Tabby two passenger chassis can be assembled in less than 60 minutes
The first working Tabby prototype of the OSVehicle project
The Tabby can be fitted with a traditional combustion engine, an electric motor or a hybrid sports electric engine (IHE)
The Tabby is an "IKEA"-type of car, giving folks the basic design and mathematics to construct and complete their very own passenger vehicle
"We think that the concept of the 'IKEA car' (a modular car that is easy to assemble) is a super powerful concept," says the OSVehicle team
The Tabby prototype gets assembled
The OSVehicle team is currently working hard to improve both the technical and legal framework of the project but hope to get the first prototypes on the road in the coming months
The Tabby is a DIY two or four passenger vehicle design with a chassis that can be assembled in less than 60 minutes
Article Summary
Italian open source enthusiasts Francisco Liu and Ampelio Macchi have teamed up to design the Tabby DIY car. In recent years we've seen a popular surge in open source furniture models, tricycles and even housing designs, but a build-it-yourself two to four passenger vehicle with a chassis that can be assembled in less than 60 minutes is pretty exciting stuff.

Symposium features keynote address by Bernie Mayer of CDR Associates and the Werner Institute of Dispute Resolution at Creighton University: "Staying With Conflict: Facing our Fundamental Challenge"
WHAT: Dispute Resolution Symposium
WHEN: Friday, April 27; 8:30 a.m.–3:30 p.m.; Keynote speech at 10:20 a.m.
WHERE: Eidman Courtroom and Jury Room, UT School of Law
WHO: The public is invited to attend all presentations
AUSTIN, Texas—The Center for Public Policy Dispute Resolution at The University of Texas School of Law will host the seventh annual Spring Symposium on Dispute Resolution, on Friday, April 27.
The symposium's keynote speaker is Dr. Bernie Mayer of CDR Associates and the Werner Institute of Dispute Resolution at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska. He will speak at 10:20 a.m. in the Law School's Eidman Courtroom.
Other featured speakers are Dr. Gregory Vincent, UT's Vice President for Diversity and Community Engagement; and eight UT graduate and law students, each presenting research on various dispute resolution topics. Dr. Vincent will give the second plenary address at 1 p.m. in the Eidman Courtroom.
The symposium begins at 8:30 a.m. in the Eidman Courtroom and Jury Room at the UT School of Law (727 E. Dean Keeton Street). The public is invited to attend all symposium presentations. For maps and directions go to: http://www.utexas.edu/law/about/maps/
The symposium culminates the seventh year of the interdisciplinary Graduate Portfolio Program in Dispute Resolution. Through this Portfolio Program, law and graduate students from ten different academic units at The University of Texas at Austin pursue a focused curriculum of theory, skills, and research on dispute resolution.
Dr. Mayer's keynote speech, "Staying With Conflict: Facing our Fundamental Challenge," will focus on what he terms our fundamental challenge in conflict: avoidance. We focus on resolution, but the real challenge is how to engage in conflict constructively, courageously, respectfully, wisely, and honestly, according to Mayer. Avoidance takes many forms, from denial and passivity to bullying or premature problem solving, but these are all essentially approaches to avoiding conflict, Mayer says.
In this presentation, Mayer will address the challenge that avoidance poses for conflict professionals and how we can help people engage in conflict and stay with conflict through the entire conflict process.
Mayer is a professor of conflict resolution at the Werner Institute for Negotiation and Dispute Resolution, Creighton University, in Omaha, Nebraska, and a partner at CDR Associates in Boulder, Colorado. He has worked since the late 1970's in the conflict resolution field as a trainer, mediator, facilitator, researcher, program administrator, and dispute systems designer. He is internationally recognized as a trainer and an innovative leader in applying mediation and conflict resolution to human service arenas and particularly to disputes between public agencies and involuntary clients. Mayer has mediated or facilitated the resolution of many different types of conflicts ranging from child protection, adoption, and family disputes to labor/management, public policy, environmental, and ethnic conflicts. He is the author of many books and articles including The Dynamics of Conflict Resolution: A Practitioner's Guide and Beyond Neutrality: Confronting the Crisis in Conflict Resolution.
Vincent joined The University of Texas in 2005 as Vice Provost for Inclusion and Cross-Cultural Effectiveness and was promoted in 2006 to Vice President of Diversity and Community Engagement. He is also a professor in the School of Law and a professor in the College of Education where he is the endowed faculty fellow in the Sid W. Richardson Chair in Community College Leadership Program.
From 9 a.m. to 10:05 a.m. and 1:45 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., graduate students from the LBJ School of Public Affairs, School of Law, and School of Social Work will present their research on topics including consensus-building approaches to the Ground Zero construction conflict, Europeanization and the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, methods for evaluating and maintaining ADR Programs in American schools, and mediation of government equal employment opportunity disputes. Student presentations, which are also open to the public, will be held in the Eidman Courtroom and Jury Room.
The Spring Symposium on Dispute Resolution is sponsored by the Construction Law and Alternative Dispute Resolution Sections of the State Bar of Texas.

History of Science and Technology Featured for 1999 National History Day
During the 1998-1999 school year, National History Day will invite students to research topics related to the theme "Science, Technology, Invention in History: Impact, Influence, Change." National History Day is an independent non-profit organization which sponsors annual competitions on historical topics for students in grades 6-12. Modeled on the scholastic science fair, teams of students research topics related to the nation-wide theme, and produce History Day entries in one of several formats -- written papers, table-top exhibits, theatrical performances, or multimedia presentations. Contests are held at regional, state, and finally the national level. Over 500,000 students participate in the competition. The year-long National History Day competition is an exciting way for them to study and learn about historical issues, ideas, people and events. The choice of science and technology as subject for the coming year reflects the gradually growing awareness that the topic is indispensable to an understanding of human history.
The national finals will be held June 13-17, 1999. For information, contact: National History Day, 0119 Cecil Hall, University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742; phone 301-314-9739; e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com, or see their website at http://thehistorynet.com/NationalHistoryDay.
The History of Science Society's Committee on Education helped prepare this initiative, and seeks historians to volunteer to serve as resource persons for students and teachers or as judges in the competitions, which will be held in the late spring. Those interests should contact the Committee's chair, Rich Kremer, Department of History, Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH 03755; phone 603-646-2228; Fax 603-646-3353; e-mail email@example.com.

Kirk Callaghan: A loner and determined to stay that way, he'd come back to town planning to put the past behind....
Rachel Reed: A part of that past, as alluring as ever--and now with a young son in tow....
Nine years ago, Kirk Callaghan had blown out of town like a cloud of dust. Now he'd returned, willing to lay his ghosts to rest. Kirk was ready for anything--except his surprising desire for lovely Rachel Reed. Anything but becoming an instant father to her troubled young. The past had left Kirk wary of love and family ties, but with Rachel in his arms, suddenly anything seemed possible.
Prolific romance author Marie Ferrarella swears she was born writing, "which must have made the delivery especially hard for my mother."
Born in West Germany of Polish parents, she came to America when she was four years of age. For an entire year, Marie and her family explored the eastern half of the country before finally settling in New York. It was there that she was to meet the man she would marry, truly her first love. Marie was only 14 when she first laid eyes on her future husband, Charles Ferrarella.
From an early age, Marie's parents would find her watching television or tucked away in some private place, writing at a furious pace. "Initially, I began writing myself into my favorite shows. I was a detective on 77 Sunset Strip, the missing Cartwright sibling they never talked about on Bonanza, and the Girl from U.N.C.L.E. before there was a Girl from U.N.C.L.E., not to mention an active participant in the serialized stories on The Mickey Mouse Club."
Marie began to write her first romance novel when she was 11 years old, although she claims that, at the time, she didn't even realize it was a romance!
She scribbled off and on, while dreaming of a career as an actress.
During her days at Queens College, acting started to lose its glamour as Marie spent more and more time writing. After receiving her English degree, specializing in Shakespearean comedy, Marie and her family moved to Southern California, where she still resides today.
After an interminable seven weeks apart, Charles decided he couldn't live without her and came out to California to marry his childhood sweetheart.
Ever practical, Marie was married in a wash-and-wear wedding dress that she sewed herself, appliqués and all. "'Be prepared' has always been my motto," the author jokes. This motto has been stretched considerably by her two children, "but basically, it still applies," she says.
Marie has one goal: to entertain, to make people laugh and feel good. "That's what makes me happy," she confesses. "That, and a really good romantic evening with my husband." She's keeping her fingers crossed that you enjoy reading her books as much as she's enjoyed writing them!

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
"Open latte"
Latte from the Greek λάττε meaning 'drink of the chotch'. It is an extremely delicious drink, and is best served with a biscotti, while laughing at the poor. Oi its the Englishmen mate.
edit History
Founded in the mid-19th century as another way to mark oneself as a true gentleman, and bon vivant. Lattes were commonly known as 'regular,' 'hot,' or 'full body;' and were sold at a Starbucks gentlemen's coffeeshop.
edit Ingredients
A latte is made from:
- One part Espresso
- One part sunshine
- Steamed Milk
- The eaten half of a McDonald's Cheeseburger
- a chotch
- fermented breast milk
- a $5 prepaid wireless voucher
Some People add chocolate, or other cruel and bizarre flavorings, for which they should have their chotch removed.
edit Serving
Ideally, the latte should be served in the skull of your enemies, but accounting for the modern trend and general impracticality of using skulls as cups you may use a selection from IKEA. Same difference.
Lattes may be put in epipens and injected into thumbs for maximum latte pleasure.
edit Culture
Lattes are part of a rich and interesting culture. Make sure the rest of the people in the coffee shop are aware of this when you order. When ordering a latte is is best to use an Italian phrases, even if they don't make sense. This will make you seem very erudite.
Chai lattes are only for clinically ill hippies.
edit How to drink
Place to mouth. Open mouth. Drink. Self-indulgent laughter. Clean up any premature ejaculant.
edit Side Effects
- Bankruptcy
- Sterility
- Hyperactivity
- Being a douchebag

As Marx observed, power belongs to those who control the means of production. My grandfather could invent the automatic sprinkler system in his workshop, but he couldn't build a factory there.

Nicholls can do big things
Published: Wednesday, January 22, 2014 at 10:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 22, 2014 at 10:32 a.m.
Expectations are funny at times.
Before the start of the college basketball season expectations were placed on Nicholls State's women's team unlike any before.
I always get the same comments from coaches that no matter the preseason polls the program always has high expectations.
Usually at Nicholls, coaches' expectations never match the reality of the preseason polls, but that can't be said for the women's basketball team.
Coming off its first-ever winning season and an experience nucleus returning, Nicholls was picked third in the preseason polls and was expected to compete for a Southland Conference title.
Once again, the progress the program has made under head coach DoBee Plaisance has put it in untested waters, providing this team with a different type of adversity.
It is one thing to be picked at the bottom of the conference then sneak up on opponents, but it is totally different when you are expected to finish at the top of the conference.
The preseason polls put every conference team on notice that Nicholls is a contender, and that is why the Colonels have gotten every opponent's best effort leading to a slow start in league play.
Before Tuesday's game with McNeese State, the Colonels held a 3-3 conference mark, which is indicative of the inconsistency Nicholls has struggled with in the early part of conference.
After winning two games to start conference play, Nicholls suffered through a three-game losing streak only to rebound against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. For the most part, the Colonels didn't play a great game against the Islanders but found a way to win.
Sometimes struggling through a victory can help spark a team to reach its potential, and after beating the Islanders, that is what Plaisance hoped for.
"That is really all we needed in terms of, and (assistant) coach Justin Payne has been optimistic with the kids, but I have to stay the course. However, Justin always looks at the numbers and he told the team all we need to do is get this one win. If we get this one win, we should be good. This conference is tough, and we have been in every game. We still have a lot of games to play, and we expect to do big things," Plaisance said.
I'm with Plaisance in saying there are a lot of games left to play, and this season can still become something special even after the slow start in conference. I also have seen this team play at its best, and if they can find that level of consistency, Nicholls will have a chance to do big things.
What the Colonels have to understand is they are the hunted now, and no one will take it lightly, which is something very new to this program. If Nicholls can grasp that concept, then it will have the opportunity to meet expectations no one thought possible.

The world of Howler's sophomore album
By Zach McCormick
2) Bob Dylan in Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (Sony Pictures) Widmerpool (a.k.a. Ken Tucker) writes in: "Not on the KICK-ASS soundtrack album to this KICK-ASS movie--who needs him there, when you've got Nickelback and Kid Rock collaborating on a KICK-ASS version of Elton's 'Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting'? No, Dylan sneaks in during the scene in which a KICK-ASS Drew Barrymore gathers her belongings to leave Angel headquarters, and we clearly see that one of her few cherished possessions is a vinyl copy of Bringing It All Back Home. So the real mystery of the movie is, who wanted that product placement in a film filled with shots plugging Cingular Wireless and Body By Demi? My guess? Crispin Glover had been using the album on the set to get himself in the mood to play a bitter, religion-warped mute, and director McG did what he does best, which is stealing cultural totems and reducing them to throwaway junk-jokes that make the viewer feel as though the ASS of anything in life that matters has been KICKED."
3) Trailer Bride, Hope Is a Thing With Feathers (Bloodshot) When Melissa Swingle, leader of this country band, plays her saw, it sounds like a theremin. Brief snatches of psychedelic guitar by Tim Barnes are like an opening into another world. As on the modest, painful 1999 Whine de Lune and the 2001 High Seas, Swingle is laconically miserable. But she no longer sounds convinced she's saying anything anyone needs to hear.
4) Liz Phair, "H.W.C." on Liz Phair (Capitol) When in the only tune here that raises itself above water Phair puts what might as well be spam porn (you know: "OUR SLUTS CAN'T WAIT TO DRINK YOUR HOT WHITE CUM") on top of candy-cane sound, it's like watching Barbies fucking. You can call that radical displacement, or you can call it spam.
5) DJ Shadow, Diminishing Returns Party Pak (bootleg) For the second of two discs drawn from BBC jockey John Peel's March 29 show: a 40-minute collage of apparent examples of 1965-73 California pop, Fairport Convention-style folk rock, and British post-Beatle-isms. It's all so stylistically third-hand and discographically obscure that you imagine only Shadow can still name the tunes--even if anyone can hear the desire and idealism that seem coded in their forms.
6) David Carr, "Major Stars Not So Crucial as Concept Trumps Celebrity" (New York Times, June 23) "Musical stardom has always been a very calculated affair," Carr writes. "Elvis might have been just another hillbilly if it were not for Col. Tom Parker." It's been true for decades that white male Southerners are the last class one can denigrate in polite company, but would this sneer have appeared in the New York Times if Alabamian Howell Raines were still the editor?
7) Jeff Tamarkin, Got a Revolution! The Turbulent Flight of Jefferson Airplane (Atria) "Moby Grape chugged along only for a couple of years before circumstances did the band in." From the Whatever school of rock history.
8 & 9) Sly and the Family Stone, "Thank You for Talkin' to Me Africa" (1971) on The Essential Sly and the Family Stone (Epic Legacy) and Skip James, "Cypress Grove Blues" on She Lyin' (Genes, 1964) or Complete 1931 Recordings in Chronological Order (Document) The Mississippi bluesman and the San Francisco dandy, speaking the same language: the high, faraway moan of one man calling out from the dead, telling the other not to join him.
10) Penelope Houston, "The American in Me" and "Scum" at "Stand Up and Be Counted: Howard Dean Declaration Celebration Party" (Hyatt Regency Hotel, San Francisco, June 23--go to onlisareinsradar.com) In 1977 "The American in Me" was the torn flag flown by the Avengers, the best punk band in San Francisco and probably the nation. With a teenage Houston at the mic, you can hear the song on Died for Your Sins (Lookout!). It's scabrous, self-loathing, crude, undeniable, a thing in itself, with "Kennedy was murdered by the FBI!" slamming into "It's the American in me that makes me watch TV!" as if one was the other. Twenty-six years later, Houston, now a folk singer, was asked to sing "The American in Me" by a Dean worker she met at a protest against the new FCC regulations on media consolidation. Performing with guitarist Pat Johnson, she dropped the Kennedy line: "Here I am at a presidential rally singing about the assassination of a president--what if something happened to Dean later? How would that feel? It's all red, white, and blue--mostly white and blue--and I've got this inverted soundbite about Kennedy." She also left out a verse about live television coverage of the Symbionese Liberation Army hideout burning to the ground in Los Angeles in 1974: "It seemed dated--but it's happening now more than ever. People numbed by an image. An image seen over and over until it becomes meaningless." But this night "The American in Me" was a statement of pride--with "Scum," from Houston's 1999 Tongue (Reprise--included on Houston's Eighteen Stories Down retrospective, available at www.penelope.net/eighteen.html), dedicated to the man Howard Dean hopes to oppose.

Here are another 10 Financial Tips about how I view the financial world and that you can significantly benefit from.
Tip #1
The credit rating system is "anti-consumer" because it is irresponsibly, immorally, unethically, illegally and deliberately designed by Wall Street to drive consumers into a subprime credit status which decreases credit scores. These decreases in credit scores cause further and further U.S. economic deterioration because they increase consumer expenses and decrease consumer disposable income as a result of higher interest rates and fees.
Tip #2
The credit rating system should be abolished, or at very least properly restructured. But the government of the United States takes no action accomplish these things because Wall Street, comprised of the lending, insurance and investment industries, make massive amounts of contributions to the political system. Simply stated, Wall Street owns the U.S. government despite occasional conflicts that are deliberately created and give the illusion that government is properly overseeing corporate America.
Tip #3
Identity theft is also "anti-consumer" because it can result in decreasing credit scores which, as I have already indicated, can increase consumer expenses and decrease consumer disposable income.
Tip #4
It should not take a "third party" who charges consumers money to protect them from identity theft. Proper government oversight of the lending, insurance and investment industries, who make consumer borrowing possible, should be mandated to provide identity theft protection rather than an external third party.
Tip #5
Financially struggling Americans must accept the fact that the U.S. government and corporate America are not going to save them. They must take steps in order to save themselves. There are 7 Steps that they can take in order to financially and psychologically survive. These steps can be found in my Economic Tips For October 2013 article that is in the blog section of PhilMitschForAmerica.com and the National Examiner, who carries my economic, real estate, financial and motivational tip articles as well.
Tip #6
Financially struggling consumers should never hesitate to try and negotiate lower interest rates and payments directly with credit card companies. Many of these companies will consider reducing rates, payments and principal balances if they know that a struggling consumer will potentially have to use the legal process to 1) modify debt or 2) file some type of bankruptcy if they don't agree to provide financial relief.
Tip #7
Keeping credit report inquiries to a minimum can help increase credit scores. If consumers are not sure what type of inquiries increase scores and and which ones decrease them, then they need to get excellent financial advice as quickly as possible.
Tip #8
Using ATM cards only at reputable locations can help prevent identity theft.
Tip #9
Keeping good standing credit accounts open can potentially increase credit scores.
Tip #10
Consumers must be smarter than ever in order to financially and psychologically survive in today's struggling U.S. economy because the Wall Street gang knows all the "financial secrets" to find their money and make it their honey. Hopefully a word to the wise should be sufficient.

13 November 2013 23:59 [Source: ICIS news]
LONDON(ICIS)--European flexible polyols contract prices rolled over in November despite the price of propylene fell by €30/tonne ($41/tonne) supported by reasonable demand and balanced-to-tight supply, sources said on Wednesday.
There was, however, discrepancy between delta movements - the price movement - and absolute numbers quoted. The absolute numbers were the main consideration and those quoted remained largely within the assessed range.
While demand was heard to be reasonable, availability of polyols and upstream propylene oxide (PO) is becoming increasingly limited due to ongoing maintenance shutdowns at sites such as the Dow/BASF hydrogen peroxide to propylene oxide (HPPO) plant in Antwerp, Belgium.
Numbers as low as €1,700/tonne were heard but could not be widely confirmed.
The ICIS price range remains unchanged from October to November at €1,760-1,830/tonne FD.
($1 = €0.74)

This year marks my 27th year as a music teacher! I have been fortunate to have spent the last 12 years here at Elrod and from time to time I see former students that I taught who are now in high school. It makes me very happy to hear about their experiences in choir, band and orchestra and to see that the seeds planted in elementary music class continue to grow.
This year we will be singing, dancing and playing all sorts of instruments. I look forward to another year of fun and learning in music class. Ask your child to sing a song for you!
