Steak-umm Puts the Beef in Phillies Games with Ballpark Ads
READING, Pa., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire/ — No need to ask "Where's the beef?" at Philadelphia Phillies games! Steak-umm, the leading sandwich steak brand in America for more than 40 years, is taking up residence behind first and third bases for a portion of all remaining 2010 home games with digital billboards designed to remind Phillies fans to stock their freezers with Steak-umm products.
The ads are the first ever run at the Phillies ballpark by Steak-umm Company, LLC, based 65 miles northwest of Philadelphia in Reading.
Steak-umm Sliced Steaks helped turn the regional "Philly Cheese Steak" Sandwich into standard fare on America's dinner tables over four decades ago. Today the thinly sliced, portion-controlled frozen sandwich steaks are used to create fast meals ranging from burritos and fajitas to eggs, lasagna and sandwich wraps of all kinds.
The company also sells Steak-umm Burgers, frozen USDA-inspected beef chuck patties that make quick work of preparing a burger meal. These convenience burgers go from freezer to table in as little as 12 minutes with no need to buy or handle raw beef, and are available in Original and Sweet Onion varieties.

Alaska Dance Theatre's initiative to bring in gifted young dancers from major markets for extended residencies here -- basically laying the groundwork for a full-time professional dance company in Anchorage -- paid off in a big way last month with an impressive new "Othello."
The follow-up, now onstage at the Discovery Theatre, may not be quite as compelling but it is still an ambitious showcase deserving the attention of those curious about where artistic creativity in our city is heading.
For "Solos and Arias" choreographer Gillmer Duran pairs motion and song. Singers associated with Anchorage Opera perform short art songs and operatic hits in a recital format while dancers present a visual expression of the words and music. Some of the pieces are fairly predictable; for instance "Musetta's Waltz," sung by Kate Egan, is coquettishly danced by Sarah Grunwaldt.
More profound dances tend to accompany the more anguished songs, as in "Pieta, Signore," a plea for mercy sung by Steven Dixon and danced by Thomas Phelan. In Mahler's song, "I am Lost to the World," Mina Lawton madly twists through two verses in a straightjacket, her legs free but hands bound behind her back. In the third verse the arms come loose, the unoccupied long sleeves flapping like graceful, liberated banners before the singer, Nancy Caudill, re-ties them and the complacent Lawton curls up in a fetal position.
There is conflict here for the listener used to looking at the singer in a song recital. In some cases the dancer and vocalist interact with one another or the dancer imitates the singer's gestures. In general the singer addresses the dancer as if confiding in his or her secret self. At other times the movement seems to be a distraction from the music. "Vesti la giubba," sung by Benjamin Bongers, is particularly conflicted in a rather delicious way. The music is overwhelming and complete in itself, but when dancer Bennyroyce Royon steps through a frame -- ostensibly of a mirror -- that doesn't look big enough to fit his head, the image arrests all of one's attention.
The "arias" part closes the evening with Schubert's "Ave Maria" sung by Caudill (Janet Carr Campell accompanies the live singing at the piano) with all six dancers on the program. Earlier in the evening, an array of suspended Japanese lanterns for a duet from "Madame Butterfly" proved enchanting. But I was perplexed when the same effect was attempted with empty dresses floating overhead for the Schubert.
The first half of the program, "Celebratory," is a richly rewarding piece set to violin concertos by Bach. Duran makes a nod toward Paul Taylor's "Brandenburgs," focusing on precise pairings, unisons, mirror images and a strong sense of geometry in motion -- which might be one definition of the art of dance. But "Celebratory" is also salted with numerous individual gestures, head and shoulder shakes, that Taylor did not employ.
Several passages for solo violin feature a turn by a solo dancer, the ensemble joining in as the rest of the orchestra surges. This gives a solid feeling of connection between the dance and music, creating a very satisfying whole. The precision of the dancers -- who include Niki Maple, Steven Melendez and Thomas Phelan in addition to those named above -- matches the precision of the recorded ensemble's reading of the score. It is a more traditional, balletic offering than the rarefied song-and-dance portion of the program but highly rewarding.
The company plans to keep pushing the envelope. It has been announced that dance fans can look forward to, among other things, a full-length ballet using the music of Johnny Cash and Patsy Cline in the coming year. Also on tap next season, a reprise of Duran's reshaped "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" and more contemporary work. There are rumors that "Othello" may also be revisited but nothing certain at this time.

To those unfamiliar with the term, a bromance is when two platonic guy friends spend a ridiculous amount of time hanging out together and are almost like a couple.
This is the subject of the year's best comedy (so far) "I Love You, Man". The film is about Peter (Paul Rudd, "Role Models", "Knocked Up") a real estate salesman who proposes to his girlfriend Zooey (Rashida Jones, "The Office"), and realizes that he does not have a best man.
Peter is the type of guy who all through his life never connected with guys and thus has a plethora of girlfriends. To fix this, Zooey encourages Peter to go on "man dates" in order to find a best friend.
After many unsuccessful and hilarious "man dates" Peter meets Sydney Fife (Jason Segel, "Forgetting Sarah Marshall", "Knocked Up"), a free spirit who Peter immediately connects with. As soon as they become best friends the audience is treated to several montages of Sydney's antics ranging from botching a toast at Peter's engagement party to picking a fight with Lou Ferigno ("The Incredible Hulk"). Meanwhile Zooey starts to become jealous over the amount of time Peter spends with Sydney.
While the script does follow the conventional romantic comedy formula, it works because Rudd and Segel have an amazing amount of chemistry. Segel is the MVP of the film; he has the best lines and also manages to balance Sydney's lunacy with some an emotional depth.
Rudd also continues to prove his worth as a leading man after being a great supporting player for so long. The rest of the supporting cast adds to this film as well, including Andy Samberg ("Saturday Night Live"), who nearly steals every scene as Peter's gay brother and Jamie Pressley ("My Name Is Earl") who does wonders as Zooey's best friend with a small amount of screen time.
"I Love You, Man" is a comedy that follows the current trend of balancing toilet humor with the right touch of sweetness. It makes a great date movie and can even provide women with an insight into the inner workings of the bromance. For men, this is the movie to earn your "romantic comedy points." Oh, and I definitely encourage those who see the movie to stay through the credits (it's worth it).

Texas Theatre opened on 25 Nov 1929 and closed in 1985,however it did reopen briefly in 1994.I discovered a website celebrating the theatre's 75th anniversary and from the photos the auditorium looks to be in fairly good condition.
Theatre was bought by the City of Glasgow in 2001 and is currently being restored and another article says it was designed by the architects of the Fox Theatre in Atlanta.
Olympic opened on 16 Nov 1926 and closed in Dec 1958.It was demolished in 1959 to make way for a supermarket.
This theatre opened in 1928.
The architect was W.Scott Dunne.
The architect was John Eberson and it could be one of his atmospheric designs.It is mentioned on page 102 of "The Best Remaining Seats.
I neglected to mention that this theatre was an atmospheric,the first built in the prairies.
In reply to sam_e,the original theatre was demolished however it does appear that the Capitol 4 is located on the same site.
The theatre was bought by the New Generation for Hispanic Progress in 1999,and now contains their offices.Both the seats and the stage have been removed.
This is an excellent theatre which should be listed as atmospheric/moorish.
This very attractive little theatre is not an atmospheric,not with chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.
Is it possible to remove this entry as I have written a new one with updated information and retain the comments.
an atmospheric theatre usually has a dark blue ceiling with stars and floating clouds projected on the ceiling.
Designed by architect, Louis Destramps in atmospheric style, and opened on 14 Jan 1926.It had a seating capacity of 1800 and closed in 1965.
The St James opened on 5 Jul 1928 and is listed in a book I have as Spanish Renaissance style.The theatre was originally operated by cinema chain,Fullers,and in 1945 taken over by Kerridge Odeon.
Lido opened on 25 Nov 1925 but have not been able to establish the name of the architect.
Some information I have found includes that it opened in 1938,the architect was S.W.Haynes,and the auditorium had constellations painted on the ceiling.
The auditorium was designed to imitate a Spanish courtyard and it had stars and floating clouds on the ceiling,so besides being Spanish Colonial it is also an atmospheric.There is a photo of the interior in the book,Lone Star Picture Shows.
This theatre originally opened in 1930 with 1533 seats and the architects were Julian Leathert and W.Granger.
This theatre was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.It lists the architects as H.G.Christman & co and is listed as vacant and not in use.

It is very much a family affair
By Gideon Long
PRAGELATO, Italy (Reuters) – As results from the past week
at the Turin Winter Olympics have shown, cross-country skiing
tends to be very much a family affair.
First there was Kristina Smigun, who won the opening two
women's individual races to become the first Estonian to take
two gold medals at a Winter Games.
She is the daughter of Anatoli Smigun, who competed for the
Soviet Union at the 1976 Olympics in Innsbruck.
Then came the Fredriksson brothers of Sweden.
Thobias Fredriksson won a gold medal in the men's team
sprint on Tuesday before his older brother Mathias took a
bronze in Sunday's men's 4×5 km relay.
Russia's Vassili Rotchev also made the podium in the team
sprint, taking bronze, but still has some way to go until he
matches the achievement of his father, also Vassili, who won a
gold and a silver at the Lake Placid Games in 1980.
On Sunday, it was the turn of the Italians.
Giorgio di Centa and Fulvio Valbusa were both members of
Italy's victorious men's relay team, but both have sisters who
made it on to the Olympic podium before them.
Fulvio's younger sister Sabina won a bronze with the
Italian women's relay team on Saturday — it has been quite a
weekend for the Valbusa family — while Giorgio's older sister
Manuela is one of Italy's most successful winter Olympians.
She won seven Olympic medals between 1992 and 1998,
including two golds.
Everywhere you look in cross-country skiing, you find
brothers, sisters, sons and daughters.
Often raised in close-knit mountain and rural communities,
many athletes take up the sport due to the influence of their
parents or older siblings.
Jens Filbrich, part of Germany's silver medal-winning relay
team on Sunday, is the daughter of Sigrun Krause, who won a
bronze medal with the East German team at the Innsbruck Games.
And the Fredrikssons are not the only brothers in the
Swedish ski team — their teammates Mikael and Fredrik Oestberg
have both competed in World Cup races this season.
Every now and then, though, you find a cross-country skier
who bucks the trend.
Like Filbrich and Rotchev, Liechtenstein's Markus Hasler,
who competed in last Sunday's men's pursuit race, is the son of
a former Olympian.
But while Markus races on skis, his father Ewald preferred
wheels — he represented Liechtenstein as a cyclist at the 1952
summer Games in Helsinki.

The argan tree is an endemic tree found in Morocco. The green nuts produced by this tree makes it so special and sought after. These green nuts are used to extract argan oil. This oil is one of the rare types of oil. The production of this oil is limited to just a few regions where these trees grow. Thus, leading to high demand of product with limited supply options. Argan oil, therefore comes under the list of one of the highly priced oils in the world. This makes one wonder about the benefits that makes it one of the most desired oil commercially. It is known to have properties that cures many cosmetic as well as medical ailments.
The oil is traditionally produced by hand, by stripping the nuts off their soft pulp and then drying them under the sun. These dried nuts are then cracked open using stones to remove the seeds that are roasted to give a rich, nutty flavor to the oil. These roasted seeds are added to little water and ground into a thick paste. This paste is squeezed by hand resulting in extraction of the oil. It is said to take over 10 hours a day to extract just around a liter of this precious oil. Today, modern methods for harvesting using machines are put into action for large-scale production. This oil has a shelf life of about just 3 to 6 months. These complex extraction methods and short shelf life makes the oil expensive and rare.

Opening a new era in private space flight, the U.S. company SpaceX on Tuesday became the first commercial outfit to launch its own craft toward the International Space Station.
The test flight of the Dragon space capsule, which launched atop SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket at 3.44 a.m. (0744 GMT), aims to show that industry can restore U.S. access to the ISS after NASA retired its space shuttle fleet last year.
The mission is set to include a fly-by and berthing with the station in the next three days, before the capsule returns to Earth at the end of this month.
Shortly after liftoff, the cargo-carrying spacecraft entered orbit and live video images showed mission control staff at SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne, California jumping from their seats, hugging and clapping.
SpaceX chief executive officer and Internet entrepreneur Elon Musk said watching the rocket rise from the launch pad was an "extremely intense moment".
"Every bit of adrenaline in my body released at that point," he told reporters after the flawless launch, which followed an attempt on Saturday that was scrubbed at the last second when computers detected high pressure in the central engine of the Falcon 9.
SpaceX engineers discovered the root cause was a faulty check valve and repaired it the same day.
No humans are travelling aboard the Dragon, but six astronauts are already at the $100-billion space lab to help the capsule latch on, to unload supplies and then restock the capsule with cargo to take back to Earth.
On May 24, the spacecraft's sensors and flight systems are to undergo a series of tests to see if it is ready to berth, including a complicated fly-under at a distance of about 2.5 km.
If NASA gives the green light, the Dragon will then approach the ISS on May 25 in an attempt to berth with the station.

Although offering one of the best action sequences I ever saw
,,Smuggler''quickly looses its fascination at the other half of the film ,crossing the viewer's line of pain tolerance thanks to the unnecessary torture scenes. Having watched ,, Ichi the Killer '' that would not be of a problem if there only wasn't the unsatisfying other half of the plot, ending abruptly and disappointedly mundane. Added the too superficial ,,new'' characters , especially the one played by Hikari the film looses its initial potential. Long story short: Smuggler is a entertaining film ,but you can miss it . The strong first half promises something outstanding , enhancing the viewer's disappointment of the other half. 2 hours lenght , some more character depth ,less torture and this would surely be a ,,9''. Overall I can advice you ; better watch Ishii's Shark Skin Man if you want to see something really outstanding or if you can tolerate extreme violence and disturbance ,,Ichi the Killer '', which has partially the same plot and similar characters.
Smuggler is definitely a movie that doesn't receive the accolades it
deserves. The humour is as black as the blackest pudding and the
storyline and violence is something that stays true to the crazy side
of Japanese Cinema.
Takashi Miike would be proud of this effort. The insanity of the whole situation is very reminiscent of films such as Ichi the Killer and Dead or Alive. I wouldn't be surprised if this director is a fan of Miike's, which will please fans of the legendary director.
If you are prepared to laugh at horrible situations, then you might just receive a massive surprise with Smuggler. I know I did!
"Please laugh if you're not sure whether it's disturbing or funny,"
says director Ishii Kazuhiro at TIFF.
"Smuggler" is based on a single-volume manga about a failed actor who becomes an underground mover to pay back $30,000 (non-inflated exchange rate) in fraudulent debt to a Chinese gang. This is the type of movies where the plot is driven by quirky dark humor rather than logic, as the protagonist Kinuta gets deeper and deeper into trouble in the most unlikely turn of events imaginable.
It was the two "legendary assassins" Vertebrae (Andou Masanobu) and Viscera (Teiryuushin) who stole the spotlight though. There's quite a bit of action scenes throughout the film by those two in the most wacky form of violence. Vertebrae in particular was among the coolest, baddest villain ever. "Smuggler" is in no way for the faint of heart though. The lengthy torture scenes reminded me of Ichi the Killer (2001). In fact, it would've been an even more gory nerve wracking film if it wasn't for the camera angle censoring out the torture.
Matsuyuki Yasuko (beautiful as ever) also delivers a strong performance, though Tsumabuki Satoshi as the protagonist was quite a miscast as he never seemed convincing in his role. Mitsushima Hikari who was decent in Shion Sono's "Love Exposure" (2008) was comically bad, almost reading the script the whole time.
Despite the shortcomings by part of the cast, "Smuggler" is an entertaining dark comedy / action as long as you don't think too much and just enjoy the ride. And of course, don't forget to have the "teehee, his face got smacked by nunchucks" type of mindset when watching this film.
Smuggler suffers from poor scriptwriting as it is hard to tell whose
story is being featured for the viewer. The failed actor Kinuta,
Vertebrae the assassin, the truck driver, or even the yakuza wife Ms.
Tanuma could each make a good protagonist. But not all four at the
expense of a coherent story line and finale.
Kinuta's intro is so brief that the advertised plot line "failed actor deep in debt" is hard to sense. A mobile phone ad campaign, not in the film at all, showing Kinuta going through failed casting calls sounds like the prelude that might have helped. Ishii has one or two brief flashbacks that make Kinuta appear like a failed singer instead of an actor (even the set looks like a night club); were it not for English subtitles that should not be needed at all to get this idea across.
The first yakuza scenes, supposedly scripted for comedy effects, elicited a few very short chuckles at the Hawaii International Film Festival showing I attended. After that the HIFF audience, who seemed mostly there anticipating the all star cast, sat in complete silence. They left as the credits were rolling.
The ramen meal breaks and the night truck driving scenes could have been the making of a well-rounded portrayal of Kinuta, but Ishii devotes as much time to these scenes as can be seen in the film trailer! And indeed these scenes are edited like TV commercial breaks in the middle of the feature story. He zips through them to make time for the very extended violence he is aiming for. The very final scene is set in an incongruous setting for ending the tale of a failed actor. Ishii is credited as Writer, Director, Editor, and Storyboarder of this film. I suppose that is why successful films have an expert in each.I have seen the cast in many other films and this one is near their collective bottom.
Kinuta (Satoshi Tsumabuki) is a down on his luck loser. An out of work
actor, he sits at a slot machine wasting away his final change in hopes
of hitting a jackpot. When Kinuta is offered a chance to win at a
'fixed machine', he jumps at the opportunity, only to have events
unfold that lave him with a large yakuza debt. Kinuta then seeks help
by a banker who offers him cash in turn for working with a tough guy,
Joe (Masatoshi Nagase) in transporting human cargo for good paying
In a story that will intersect with Joe and Kinuta, an assassin by the name of Vertebrae (think Ichi the Killer) has just killed a crime boss and is being hunted by a crime family determined to seek revenge. Vertebrae is a master at both kung-fu and in using his trademark numb chucks to pulverize his victims. But his killing of the crime boss might be his undoing and soon him and his partner are cornered by Joe who has been hired to transport Vertebrae to the yakuza bosses alive. Directed by Katsuhito Ishii, Smuggler is an uneven mix of comedy, drama and scenes of intense torture. Based on the comic book Sumagurâ by Shôhei Manabe and unfortunately the animated pages don't translate as well onto the big screen.
The acting and humour are present, but more in a dumb Three Stooges kind of pattern. Watching Joe and Kinuta's small dim-witted cohort might have read well in the book, but it is buffoonish on the screen and took us out of the film.
Smuggler then goes into full comic mode with the capture of Vertebrae. He jumps and runs like road runner and his scenes of capture and escape were something that belonged more in Kung Fu Hustle than they did in Smuggler.
So before you jump on us for 'not getting it', let me inject that we appreciated the comedic elements and the action sequences (which were really good). But when the film became a torture movie after Kinuta is asked to impersonate the escaped Vertebrae, it went to a place that didn't feel right with the rest of the film. Kinuta is subjected to intense torture involving a table of pain inflicting devices and these scenes didn't seem to fit into a film that had a character running faster than the wind just one chapter prior.
That leaves Smuggler as an uneven, but interesting experiment. We cannot discount the coolness of the Vertebrae character (spinoff please!) and the action sequences make us thankful the film was not in 4D. However, the sum of the films overall parts just didn't gel enough to make a coherent and enjoyable movie and for that reason, we cannot recommend it.

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

Think twice about installing propane, or if it's a small boat, a Coleman stove on a plank in the cockpit plus a rail barbeque running those two-pound bottles seemed to serve us just fine in Toronto where the weather isn't as amenable as Florida.
I have rebuilt and installed an Atomic 4 in my 33 footer and it runs like a charm and is quite economical to boot. I actually REDUCED my gas tankage from 15 to 11 U.S. gallons because I was having trouble using a tank a season. Also, I wanted extra locker space for lines.
Given that I motor off the mooring, get head to wind, and then switch off and get to sailing, that's not surprising. I use about 3/4 gal/hr. at 5.5 knots, which gives me enough range to find a gas station anywhere. If I am motorsailing, I have refuelled enroute from jerrycans, but this is rare.
My new much larger boat has a fat diesel in it and enough tankage for about a thousand NM of range, but it has its own issues, primarily the availability of diesel (and its cleanliness) in certain places, and the fact that diesel engines, unlike gas, really don't enjoy the typical "motor in and out from the basin" scenario. They want to get nice and hot, and so ironically, I am leaving the engine on longer just to warm it up, knowing that the bearings will thank me for not switching it on for just 10 minutes in the cold April air to get beyond the breakwall. So I am burning more diesel than I'd like...because it's a diesel!
This is not a concern with the Atomic 4 anymore than it's a concern with an outboard or a chainsaw. Gas engines can bear short periods of activity. This characterizes a lot of sailboat use...otherwise we'd all have trawlers, right?

*No offense to those who use yo-yo makers but I simply see no point to them. Sewing yo-yos by hand is so simple, I can't imagine it being made any easier!
Step 1: What you'll need
Pen for tracing-air-soluble markers work very well, but a regular pen will work on everything but the lightest fabrics.
Template (An old CD works great or a cardboard circle cut to your choice of diameters depending on the size yo-yo you want to make.)
Fabric-yo-yos are a great way to use up scraps!
Thread-regular cotton or cotton blend thread to match fabrics or mono filament for invisible stitches
Needle-for hand sewing
Step 2: Cutting your fabric circles
Then cut out the circle.
I find that I like to do yo-yos in stages so I trace a whole bunch of circles, then I cut them all out, then I sew them all.
Note that if you are using a CD as a template, ignore the hole in the middle and only trace and cut around the outside edge. :)
Step 3: Sewing your circle's edge
Create a knot in the end of your thread. I like to use a doubled thread for strength. Fold over the edge of the fabric 1/4 " to the wrong side. Starting from the wrong side, insert your needle through both layers of fabric to create your hemmed edge. (In this example I have used contrasting thread but you'll want to use matching thread or mono filament thread.)
Continue to stitch around the entire circle. I like to use an up and down motion with the tip of the needle while creating an accordion look with the fabric while I sew by using my other hand to press the fabric onto the needle.
TIP: Your stitches do not need to be exactly the same size but the key is to keep the fabric folded under the same amount around the entire circle so that when you have completed several yo-yos, they end up the same size.
Step 4: Create your yo-yo
Flatten the pouch so that a disc is formed.
Holding the yo-yo so that it doesn't unfold itself, stitch a few extra stitches through the first few gathers. Tie off the thread with a knot.
You have created a yo-yo! Repeat over and over until you have piles and piles of yo-yos!
TIP: When flattening your yo-yo, spread out the gathers so that they are nicely aligned and even before stitching through them to secure.
Step 5: Linking your yo-yos
To link two yo-yos, simply stack them on top of each other with their gathered sides together.
Knot your thread and whip stitch along one side for a short distance. I usually sew for 1/4-1/2". Knot to secure. (Again, I have used contrast thread so you could see but matching or invisible thread works best for a nice finish.)
TIP: It is best to have a large pile of yo-yos made before you start sewing them together so that your colors and patterns are evenly dispersed
Step 6: Ways to arrange
There are several different patterns you can use to put your yo-yo items together. For my table runner, I aligned the yo-yos squarely. You can also attach rows in a staggered fashion.
Yo-yo quilts are usually left open and used as a coverlet or decorative item. You can also stitch them to a backing for a more substantial quilt. Or you can use single or grouped yo-yos as decorative elements on pillows and other items. Think of how cute a hexagon of yo-yos might look on a throw pillow!
You can also sew your yo-yos and rows so closely together that there are no spaces, giving them a more square shape.
Step 7: Special problems
Yo-yos are fun to make, and to take with you to work on, like in a waiting room! I have severe Rheumatoid Arthritis, and I have found making yo-yos to be challenging, but I want to make more for a project! So, I am seriously considering buying a Clover Yo-Yo maker to assist me in being able to hold a small piece of fabric without struggling to fold the edge over and complete the gathering stitches. Also, I've experimented with making a few on my sewing machine using a long basting stitch and with the raw edge technique. Turned out ok, but I like the finished edge better! : )

Alaska's Legislature took bold steps this session to advance an LNG natural gas pipeline project, pay down state pension obligations, support good schools, and build critical infrastructure – while reducing normal operating expenses.
From October until the last of the snow melted off, I dreamed of palm trees and blue waves crashing on sandy beaches. Jealousy would creep in as I listened to other's travel plans. I love Alaska, but I would not have minded a change of scenery.
The Second Session of the 28th Alaska Legislature has come to a close and I am pleased to be back home in our beautiful community! I am honored to represent Eagle River and to stand up for the many important issues affecting our community and the State of Alaska. Among these my focus has been on fiscal responsibility, education reform, responsible resource development, supporting our military and meaningful regulatory reform.
I am pleased to provide you this update after the adjournment of the 28th Alaska Legislature. As you may have heard, we went five days over the standard 90-day session, but accomplished great things during our extended time in Juneau.
Mother's Day is this weekend. I have already received my present for this year. I am the proud owner of a new grill. Last week our toilet was leaking. To tell the truth it had been leaking for a bit, but with a new baby in the house a leaky toilet was not on the top of the priority list. That was until the leak went from a small, slow leak to water-visibly-coming-out-of-the-tank leak.
On March 24, I got my favorite Alaskan souvenir. Miss Aurora Spears was born. Similar to other military families we have a child for every state we have lived in for at least 12 months. After three kids we were not planning on continuing the trend, but then we moved to Alaska. I'm not sure what changed my mind. Maybe with four years since the birth of my youngest my reasons for wanting to stop with her were getting hazy. Was it that nearly every woman I knew was having a baby? Could it have been that, in Alaska, three or four children seem more normal than elsewhere? Perhaps it was the desire to be able to use a cool Alaska themed name. Whatever the reason, my family decided that we would go for a "made in Alaska" baby.
The newspaper notice was published some weeks after the earthquake, saying that the road to the Kenai Peninsula from points north would open— but travel would be by convoy only. The first group of cars had to be on the Seward Highway past Indian by early evening to take advantage of the low tide. Bridges along the route were now—like the quake—history. They had crossed rivers whose snowmelt waters were gushing fro the mountains to meet this tidal arm of the sea. They had washed out when Turnagain Arm had been shaken during the upheaval, a misnomer, since the area had dropped considerably. So how were we to cross when the land was lower than it had been, and with the bridges out, too?
Back in 1964 before the earthquake hit, before anyone envisioned that Good Friday would go down in history not so much as a religious holiday as a destructive, deadly reminder of the earth's fickleness, Ethel Breese was living in Anchorage, on the outskirts of the city around where Lake Otis Parkway and Tudor Road area exists today.
A little over three years ago, the Department of Natural Resources recognized that the status quo for permitting wasn't working. More than 2,600 of our permits and authorizations were backlogged, to the detriment of many businesses and individual Alaskans seeking to access state lands and resources, and to the detriment of our economy.
William "Top" Dill is an extraordinary human being who selfishly pours himself into every student within the NJROTC program at Chugiak High School. He has been a Naval Science Instructor there since 1992, which has resulted in dramatically impacting the lives of over 5000 students.

University of Texas Arlington
Associate dean of nursing selected to research, help develop nurse leadership
Tuesday, June 24, 2008
Media Contact: Susan March
ARLINGTON - Dr. Beth Mancini, professor and associate dean for undergraduate nursing programs in The University of Texas at Arlington's School of Nursing, has been appointed to the Baylor Health Care Research Professorship.
Established in August 2007, the $100,000 professorship will allow UT Arlington and Baylor Health Care System hospitals to collaborate on research regarding leadership development among nurses.
Specifically, Mancini will focus on strategies that help translate research into nursing practice with a special emphasis on developing nurse leaders at the managerial/supervisory level. She will hold the appointment for three years.
Dr. Carolyn Cason, chair of the Baylor Professorship selection committee and associate dean for research and director of the Center for Nursing Research in the School of Nursing, said the qualities Dr. Mancini will bring to the Professorship are clear.
"In addition to having years of experience developing UT Arlington nurse leaders, Dr. Mancini's previous experience as senior vice president and chief nursing officer at Parkland Health & Hospital System certainly puts her in the unique position of understanding the challenges of acute care in the hospital setting."
UT Arlington's School of Nursing is one of the 20 largest schools of nursing in the United States. With more than 1,000 students and 100 faculty members, it is committed to providing an innovative educational model that produces nurses who effectively and quickly integrate into the health care environment and are life-long learners and leaders.
This year, 20 nurses from nine Baylor facilities were among DFW's 100 Great Nurses named by the Texas Nurses Association, Districts Three and Four, and Dallas-Fort Worth Nurse Executives. In addition, Baylor Health Care System offers tuition reimbursement to any Baylor employee who would like to attend nursing school.
Visit http://www.uta.edu/nursing/ for more information about the School of Nursing, or www.BaylorHealth.com for more information about Baylor.

Initially written over a brief incarceration period at La Bastille and
continuously expanded and improved upon throughout the rest of a life
predominantly spent inside various penal and mental institutions,
Justine or the Misfortunes of Virtue remains the signature work by the
nowadays rarely read if routinely referred to by all and sundry
Donatien Alphonse François de Sade. The nominal nobility that came with
the title of Marquis by which he's most commonly identified casts a
cruelly ironic shadow against the blinding light of the knee jerk
treatment afforded him by authorities fearful of the consequences his
anarchist free spirit might have on society, "protecting" then as now
the lower classes allegedly unable to distinguish between artistic
license and lewd licentiousness punishable by law. Frequently filmed
with varying degrees of success and fidelity to its source, Sade
received what must rank as one of his finest cinematic adaptations from
what must have seemed like the unlikeliest of quarters at a time the
author - along with many of his once banned be-lettered brethren like
John Cleland and David Herbert Lawrence - was in the process of being
publicly and proudly reclaimed by the Literati.
Even prior to a long and fruitful career in hardcore carnality, female pseudonyms like "Andrée Marchand" or "Caroline Joyce" indicating the inspiration his wife and collaborator Huguette Boisvert brought to this casually considered as most misogynist of genres, the late Claude Pierson wasn't exactly held in high esteem by the middle classes tendentiously pandered to by the newspapers of France, a country desperately clinging to an elsewhere rapidly eroding caste system. Perhaps the experience of being ostracized by polite society, and I use the term loosely, forged a spiritual bond between the maligned movie maker and his pen to paper predecessor. Whatever the case may be, his (or should that be "their" ?) JUSTINE DE SADE stands as one of preciously few films worthy of openly aligning itself with its notorious author, faithful in both letter and spirit and therefore ironically if inevitably a tad turgid going for the average adult audience trawling for titillatory thrills.
Retaining Sade's narrative structure, the movie introduces Justine (soft porn superstar Alice Arno unveiling untapped resources of insidious irony) as a convict on her way to the gallows whose sorry fate touches the heart of kept woman Juliette (France Verdier) who has amassed a small fortune by embracing vice as enthusiastically as our constantly beleaguered heroine did virtue. Calling herself "Thérèse" to suppress the shame, she tells her tale of woe and abuse at the hands of just about everyone she met, her mantra of being "a poor orphan girl, well-acquainted with vice since the age of 12" serving as more of aphrodisiac than deterrent. More pious than the people of the cloth, whose hypocrisy the writer delighted in exposing practically centuries before the general public was to grudgingly concur, Justine only yearns to do the right thing, protect the meek and downtrodden and hopefully keep her maidenhead in the process yet that's not exactly the way of the world.
Film's episodic structure emulates novel's feverish chapters but may wear some viewers down as Justine basically suffers one outrageous indignity after another. Names, faces and social status of the inflicting instigators (aristocrats, a congregation of monks, a band of thieves) may change but the situation stays the same with Justine pragmatically forced to "adjust" her attitude accordingly while, to her mind at least, preserving her cherished purity of heart if not body. Far better acted by a cast of second tier semi-respectability - usually supporting players in mainstream cinema - than most similar sexploitation offerings of the period, the movie's literally held together by Arno's stunning turn, making one regret the strictly decorative purposes she has been limited to on other occasions. Watch for her real life sister Chantal Broquet, an engaging if more low key erotic actress in her own right, as the frail countess weary of her perverted husband's lust for bloodletting, a rare chance to see both siblings in simulated orgy action. Chief among tech credits is the glowing cinematography by Jean-Jacques Tarbès, a seasoned professional who experienced no difficulty juggling jobs on "acceptable" flicks (shooting most of Continental king of comedy Claude Zidi's efforts) with more disreputable fare, his clearly cordial relationship with Pierson extending to his actually working on several of the director's explicit endeavors like CHALEURS INTIMES and EXTASES IMPUDIQUES ! For the record, this is also one of rare adaptations to retain Justine's original ironic fate, the author's final slap in the face of society slaving to keep its underlings in line through enforcement of the erroneous belief that virtue reap rewards, in this life or the next.

Global Air Cargo Probe Widens to Asia
By Sachi Izumi
TOKYO — A global probe into possible price-fixing in the air cargo industry widened to Asia on Wednesday as authorities searched for information at offices of Japanese, South Korean and Hong Kong airlines.
The investigation started on Tuesday when the European Union's executive arm and the U.S. Justice Department raided a number of air cargo carriers on both sides of the Atlantic, while other airlines were asked for information related to the probe.
The case could threaten to put a brake on recent growth in the $50 billion global air cargo market, which U.S. aircraft maker Boeing Co. has estimated will expand at an average annual rate of 6.2 percent in the next two decades, exceeding the expected growth rates of passenger traffic and the world economy.
The cargo business accounts for some 12 percent of revenue in the global commercial aviation market, according to the International Air Transport Association.
Scandinavian airline SAS said it had been raided and authorities were investigating whether airlines had illegally cooperated to limit competition in European and other routes.
The alleged activity, mainly involving various surcharges such as for fuel and for security measures imposed after the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States using hijacked airliners, has supposedly been carried out since 2000, SAS said.
War-risk surcharges that were applied after the U.S-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 were also involved, it said.
The European Commission said in a statement, "The Commission has reason to believe that the companies concerned may have violated (a European Union) treaty, which prohibits practices such as price fixing." It declined to name the targets.
Marc Boudier, executive vice president of Air France Cargo, said on Wednesday at the Air Freight Asia 2006 show in Shanghai that officials came to his office in Paris to look at papers and the company was cooperating.
"We are surprised because this is a very heavy procedure," he said.
Asia's biggest airline, Japan Airlines Corp., said European authorities had searched its Frankfurt offices, while two South Korean airlines, Korean Air Co. and Asiana Airlines Inc., said they were raided by the local antitrust watchdog.
Boeing said in September that brisk traffic in the Asian markets would lead the expansion of the global air cargo market, adding that the freighter fleet would nearly double over the next 20 years to 3,530 airplanes.
A JAL spokesman declined to comment on alleged cartel activity but said, "We are fully cooperating with the probe."
The cargo business, supported by strong exports from Japanese companies, has been a bright and growing segment for struggling JAL, which expects a net loss this business year due to high fuel prices and a series of safety problems.
Korean Air spokesman Lee Hyoung-woo said South Korea's Fair Trade Commission officials interviewed the company's executives in charge of cargo businesses and removed documents. He added its offices in Europe and the United States were not raided.
Among airlines, Korean Air is the world's top cargo carrier, based on 2004 data, although it ranks behind specialist carrier FedEx Corp. in total volume flown.
South Korea's FTC declined to comment, citing standard policy on investigations.
An Asiana official who declined to be named said cartel team officials from the FTC came to the airline's office and conducted an investigation, initiated by a request from abroad, in relation to fuel surcharges and price-fixing practices.
Hong Kong's Cathay Pacific Airways said EC and U.S. Justice Department officials had visited the company's offices in Frankfurt, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
The world's leading carriers also acknowledged they had been contacted by authorities.
British Airways Plc and freight airline Cargolux had said they were asked for information related to alleged cartel activity, and American Airlines and United Airlines both said they had received inquiries as part of the probe.
All Nippon Airways Co., Japan's No. 2 airline, said it outsources cargo operations in Frankfurt to unlisted Nippon Cargo Airlines Co., which said it had not been raided.
A spokeswoman said ANA's offices, including ones in Paris and London, had not been searched.
Although shares in JAL closed down 0.6 percent, other Asian airlines rose, including Cathay Pacific, Korean Air and Asiana, as oil prices slipped below $60 to their lowest level this year after heavy losses a day earlier as dealers anticipated a big jump in already healthy U.S. oil inventories.

After setting D3D AF to 1x ( This is really essantial, since 0x is default and it's nearest-point - that's pre-Voodoo stuff! ) , which decreases speed compared to 0x in theory ( not sure in practice, since i didn't have time to test it ) , i tried 3dMark 2001 SE ( just to see how nice the improvements were )
Score increased 6% - Not bad at all
Nature FPS increased by 50% from 40 FPS to 60 FPS.
High Polycount Count ( 8 Light Sources ) remained at 10.4.
Vertex Shader test performance actually DECREASED by about 3% ( Yes, i run EVERY test twice ) - as did a few other tests who decreased by about 2% or less. In other words, nothing major, but certainly no improvement!
Conclusion? This is a GREAT driver set. However, it only gives a boost to PIXEL shaders, not Vertex Shaders, Point Sprites, ...
It is, naturally, a very welcome improvement. But i wonder... What about Geforce4 MX? I'm pretty much certain those cards hardly got any improvement here - but who knows. Anyone got such a result?

2014 marked the historic occasion of the All Blacks taking on the USA Eagles for just the forth time ever and for the first time on US soil. From a coaching point of view it provides an interesting prospect for analysis.
Over the next week or so we will be publishing a series of articles analysing the difference between the best team in the world and a team struggling with a mix of player experience and preparation time. Today we will just look at one try in particular.
In many ways the second try scored by the All Blacks was the perfect example of the differences between the two nations. I often joke with some coaching friends about the "super secrets" that teams like the All Blacks have. The very notion that simply hearing an All Blacks coach speak for example will give you the magic which you currently lack is completely ridiculous. The All Blacks do the exact same things any under 15 team should be able to do. They just do them faster and "better".

Vidyut Jamwal has done the nation some good service. His physique and action-sequences in Commando have managed to inspire a young man from Rajasthan enough to make him register and train to be a commando.
Although the actor received a lot of appreciation for his role from the critics, audiences and fans expressing their desire to build a body like him, a note he received recently via his official page on Facebook revealed that a fan from Rajasthan was so inspired with Vidyut's performance that he got enrolled in a programme which trains entrants to become part of the army and the special para commando regiment. It is a 10 month long training regime and only after clearing every level does one stand a chance for the final selection process. The fan's (Himanshu GET HIS FULL NAME) effort has now borne fruit with him finally making through all the levels of the prelims and now being selected be part of the para commando force.
His message to Vidyut on his Facebook page read: Hey brother how are you? I would like to say because of you I didn't give up. Soon gonna join Indian armed forces as para commando. Thanks bro. Wishing you bright future.
Vidyut says, "Being an army kid myself, I feel incredibly humbled that I've been instrumental in inspiring someone to join the forces. Becoming a para commando isn't an easy feat and reading Himanshu's message on Facebook, I felt incredibly proud that he didn't give up. Nothing's more reassuring than knowing that your work has made a real difference to someone's life and has helped them chase their dreams."

Re: 43' Irwin MKIII vs. Irwin 46' Ketch
Hi Nick. I'm not sure where to start without knowing a little bit about your expectations as well as your sailing skill level. Your questions are framed in a fashion that suggests you are new to this sailing thing. The boats you are looking are older cruising stock. Boats like these, unless unusually lightly used, need a ton of maintenance. Most of the systems, ( like the engine ) are nearing the end of their service life. If you are concerned about "parking" costs, this is only a minor factor in ownership of boats like these. Everything on a big boat and these are big boats, is enormously expensive. For example, a piece of standing rigging on my old 25 O'Day was $89. A new forestay on my Irwin 34 was $495. For these boats, it would be even more. Even if you get a survey on these boats you are looking at, there will be plenty of things that are missed. You could easily spend $15,000 to $50,000 after the sale price. Where do you want to sail ? Irwins are generally not considered blue water boats. That said, many have traveled far. Sailing is about developing a skill set. It is just as much about your judgment and preparation as it is about the capability of the boat. As another example, there are extraordinary street motorcycles for sale in dealerships across the country. An ordinary person can buy a motorcycle that has power and performance beyond what a formula 1 race bike had 35 years ago. Not one rider in 50 has the skills to exploit even one half of the potential of these machines. Of them, not one in 100 has access to a road where this might be done in safety. In this, one impediment is the skill set, the other is good judgment. Do you see how both are necessary to successful use of the bike's potential ? If you can't see what I mean, please view the " Creditcard Captains" on you tube. This is, indirectly, the answer to the single-handing question. Lastly, resale value. The boats you are looking at have lost their original value. They are close to worthless except for the careful maintenance that has been done to them. Some are Gems, who have been cared for without hesitation. The day that this devotion to their care lapses, is the start of their decline. Only you can define their residual value. It can be quite a bit but it will only be a fraction of what it has cost to maintain them. To translate that into English, they won't hold their resale value at all. In addition, the money you put in them will be a poor return, 50% or less, unless it's like a new motor. In that case it will help sell the boat and you might get 60% of the cost back. Hope this frames things up a bit for you.
