first-time imovie 09 user - help?
Hello - I have a DVD movie titled The Olympic Series Golden Moments 1920 - 2002 which I did some still captures on an Asus Eee PC netbok but the still captures are badly interlaced (see this) What is deinterlacing? The best method to deinterlace movies
and I found here (link) de-interlace in imovie - Mac Forums
that it's possible to de-interlace the video with imovie 09. So what I'm really asking is, how do I transfer the video from this DVD to imovie?
and of the several books on imovie/idvd that're available at the local Barnes & Noble book store, what book should I get that will show me how to de-interlce and sharpen the video from the DVD as well as show me how to create DVD slideshows in idvd (came with my MBP that I ordered brand-new from apple.com's online store in July 2009 following the WWDC in June 8 - 12 2009) with menus?
Also, is it possible to get still captures from a video in imovie and transfer these still captures to a PC for editing in photoshop cs 3?
a few screen shots I captured from this dvd last night -

Teaching Panhandling to Children
I don't like to use my blog to vent too often, but I have a pet peeve — and it has to do with pulling up to a traffic light and having children walk up to my car asking for money to support their trip to "the championship game". What bothers me is not that I can't reach into my pocket and give $2 or reach into my ashtray and dump all my loose change in their bucket; what irks me is the effect that I think this type of practice will create for these impressionable minds.
Perhaps I'm reading too deep into this. I do not mean to say that children should not feel inclined to ask for help from their community – what I'm more concerned of is that the adults who are leading children to these intersections are teaching children to ask for a handout, rather than teaching them how to earn their means to their desired goal.
Why can't the team invite me to one of the local games and charge a small admission? Maybe they can hold a concession stand or offer car washes? I just don't like the idea of giving children a bucket and sending them to every car stalled at a traffic light – not when there's a more life-teaching way to help them earn money for the team.
As a little league girls softball coach for the past three years, I would never consider sending my girls out to ask for money to help us get to our tournament. I would meet with the parents and come up with ways to earn funding. Of course I would put those little girls to work, but make no mistake they would clearly see that we are all talented, skilled and innovative enough to earn the funding we need – for whatever purpose.
Although, I may still decide to help the occassional child that strolls by my car wearing a jersey and holding a bucket for contributions, I think I will hold a conversation with that coach or parent that is usually off to the side on their cell phone, sitting in some foldable recreation chair.
Should I ask them for a few bucks so I can get to my destination? It would be interesting to hear their response.
I'm sure you love your kids, but do you like them?
I love my daughters. I love them because their mine. Slowly, over the years however I've noticed that I like them too. I mean, their personalities too. In other words, I like WHO they are. Now, I don't dare think my daughters are perfect or BETTER than other kids, they make mistakes. At times, they misbehave. But, when it comes to the deep-seeded values I've tried to place in them, they not only get it, they are holding on to it.
Over the years of watching them play in the back yard with each other and neighborhood kids, I would observe HOW they play. I've watched them calm down other kids and encourage fairness and discourage meaness, which sometimes kids can embody. The biggest confirmation, however, that lets me know they have the personalities I admire is when I'm watching and they don't know it. They still play with the same integrity and fairness as if I'm right there in the room.
Last weekend I traveled with my oldest daughter to South Carolina to the Capital Book Festival. I actually enjoyed our trip, both being at the festival and riding in the car talking and singing "GLEE" songs with Kayla. The whole time in SC we had fun talking and hanging out – as Father and daughter – yes. But also as two people who simply enjoyed each other's company. I always enjoy hanging with these girls.
Now my eight year old is asking to be a part of my next road trip. I'm all for it.
Take my three year old? I love her and like her, but not yet.

It's snowing which really blows my mind, it's 37 ° out and it is coming down pretty good. I hope that the rest of the forecast is as correct as their call for snow. Tomorrow it is supposed to be up in the 40's with Thursday and Friday in the 50's and Saturday we are supposed to hit 60! I am so ready for Spring.
I have been feeling quite a bit better today than I have for some time. Yesterday was my first day back to work after missing 6 days. Everyone was so wonderful, and welcomed me back with warm hugs, much to do about how they all missed me, and how I was supposed to take it easy this week. It is really nice to be among such wonderful co-workers. Everyone was so concerned and I got so tired of repeating the fiasco that I went through to get better…I just wanted to call everyone in and tell them all at once so I didn't have to repeat it 500 times; but (and I laugh) it is so nice to know they were so concerned.
After work last night I came home and slept. I was so wore out, but I seem to be getting better all the time and my strength is gradually returning more and more as each day passes and with each pill I force down my throat. I will be more glad than I can ever express to be done with this medication, I have to time the medication just right so that I can have at least one glass of milk a day, otherwise I can't have any and for me, that is extremely hard. "T" said that if he had to take a medication that said he couldn't have milk he said they would have to find something else, understandably so since the man drinks damn near a half a gallon of milk for every meal. We need to buy a cow and learn how to make 2% out of it.
I watched a bit of the nightly news, but I am so tired of all this talk of this war that I decided to come in and write a bit. I wonder how they can be so open about all their military plans, showing news coverage of the ammunition bunkers, military computerized operations and so forth and still maintain some element of surprise if and when the time comes. Granted that possibly you and I wouldn't know where that bit of horizon is that we see behind the military ammunition bunkers, but that doesn't mean that our enemy doesn't know, after all it is their home terrain. But I guess it must be pretty damn secure if they feel safe enough to allow news coverage showing these locations and views of their computer rooms, and camps. What do I know?
The newspaper is always full of this talk of war also, it has gotten to the point that on Saturdays and Sundays I pull off the front pages and go right to the local and community section and bypass all the war issues. Perhaps that is being ignorant, and it isn't that I am against the war…please don't misconstrue my emotions on that, actually I am for the war if this is what needs to be done to protect our country and our freedom, I would rather the United States and her accompanying countries fight back than sit in a corner and let some idiot walk all over us. I guess I just don't want to have to deal with it day in and day out. I keep up to date enough; sometimes I think that the media over covers some of this stuff, but its freedom of speech, right, and of course it is paying someone's salary…even if it isn't yours or mine. I have to admit that while it might be fun to travel to some of those countries, I have heard to many horror stories about captured reporters by the enemy to even want to be a reporter.

Allentown Loses Competition For Dog Park
Published: Aug 16 2011 10:06:57 PM EDT Updated On: Aug 05 2011 05:49:29 AM EDT
The results are in, and it looks like Allentown has been out-barked.
The city made it to the top 15 in the Petsafe "Bark for Your Park" contest, but Huntington, West Virginia was named the winner.
They'll get $100,000 to build a dog park.
If Allentown would have won, city officials had planned to build the park at Trout Creek Park East.

Does it matter what rune you put on your AquaMask and into your Water weapon (trident etc.)?
For example, I've just put runes of divinity in everything and it shows 7/6 (which implies it does work/is detected) but not sure if the stats stack.
Additionally, if I put a Sigil into the water weapon, does it work when I use my land weapons or only when I'm in water? Also, do my land weapon sigils carry their effects when I'm in water?

The England international has impressed during his pre-season outings for his new club, and may be afforded the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo.
David Moyes, however, may resist in order not to place unnecessary expectation on a player who will be under scrutiny during his first campaign at Old Trafford.

Disposal of nuclear waste by deep underground burial is being considered by the United States and many other countries. In many cases, the waste will be encased in an engineered waste package made of metal, concrete, or other materials. The ability of these disposal systems to limit the migration of radionuclides depends on a variety of factors, including the geochemical environment. If the waste package contains metallic parts, the corrosion reactions will dominate many aspects of the geochemistry in the immediate vicinity of a nuclear waste package. Some potential influences of metallic corrosion on the geochemical environment of the waste package are discussed. The corrosion reactions are a result of interaction or coupling of corrosion and geochemical processes. A generalized model is presented that describes the electrochemistry developed in corrosion cells and interaction with the surrounding geochemical environment. The model is first applied to laboratory data on crevice corrosion and then used to perform a parametric study. The results suggest that corrosion cells that lead to significant modifications to the geochemical environment are likely. The formation of corrosion cells around the waste package leads to large uncertainties concerning the geochemical environment in which radionuclide release rate and container corrosion will take place. Models and experiments of corrosion, waste form dissolution, and release rate need to take the expected uncertainty in geochemical environment into account.

THE saga began in September 2001. The Mexican environment ministry announced that DNA from genetically modified maize had been found in native varieties grown on small farms.
The results were, not surprisingly, seized upon by campaigners opposed to GM crops. And in November, they were given more ammunition when the findings were published in the prestigious journal
The turnaround has generated even more coverage than the original finding. It is the first time

Naples, Italy, has agreed in principle to host two stops on the America's Cup
World Series; the first will be in April 2012, the second in May 2013.
Designed to expose millions more people to the sport of high-performance racing,
the new professional circuit was created to bring the America's Cup experience
to top international venues.
"I'm very pleased to confirm we will be bringing the America's Cup World Series
to Naples," said Richard Worth, the Chairman of the America's Cup Event Authority.
"Naples offers us a Mediterranean backdrop, and a stadium set-up within the Bay
of Naples – a perfect complement to the exciting racing the AC World Series provides."
A delegation from the Naples event organizing committee, including the Mayor
of Naples Luigi de Magistris, and the Governor of Campania Stefano Caldoro, the
Deputy President of the Province of Naples Gennaro Ferrara, the President of the
Industrial Union Paolo Graziano, and President of Bagnolifutura Riccardo Marone,
are in Plymouth this week, reviewing facilities, the set-up of the technical areas
and the race village and enjoying the racing.
The representatives from Naples are in agreement: "We are very pleased to become
a part of the story of the America's Cup World Series. Like the America's Cup,
we have a rich tradition and history and long association with the sea. We are
excited the America's Cup World Series will now bring the most cutting-edge boats
and best sailors in the world to our shores."
Preliminary terms were signed in Plymouth today. There will be a press conference
in Naples on September 29th, to formally announce the details of the two World
Series events, including dates.
"The combination of Venice and Naples, two spectacular Italian venues, will create
an exciting dynamic in a country that has a passionate fan base for the America's
Cup," Worth said.
The AC World Series format includes a mix of speed trials, head-to-head match
racing, and all-out fleet racing with 9 identical AC45s on the line. These events
provide the fans the only opportunity to see all of the America's Cup competitors
racing together

A DEATH row inmate stunned the Supreme Court when he abandoned his appeal and declared that he deserved to die for attempted murder and aggravated robbery.
Brian Awiro Chibuye, 35, had appealed against the death sentence slapped on him by the Kabwe High Court on two counts of attempted murder and aggravated robbery.
Chibuye was convicted along with Richard Mborofwana Kunda, 42, in 2009, but appealed against the conviction and sentence.
But when the case came up for appeal before Supreme Court Justice Gregory Phiri, sitting with other judges in Kabwe on Tuesday, Chibuye, who was representing himself, told the court that he had decided to withdraw the appeal.
In his address to the court, Chibuye admitted having committed the crime and asked for forgiveness from the public.
He said his action brought pain and shame not only in the eyes of men "but also in the eyes of God."
"I brought shame in the eyes of both men and God and therefore I deserve to be hanged but on that I pray that you should remember me, yes I deserve to be killed for my action," he said.
Mr Justice Phiri dismissed the case and upheld the death sentence.
In the case of Kunda, acting principal Legal Aid Counsel Kelvin Muzenga argued that the evidence against the appellant was based on hearsay.
Particulars were that Chibuye and Kunda on June 30, 2002 shot at a motor vehicle which was being driven by Emmanuel Ponayotpolu in which his wife sustained injuries and robbed the couple of money and other valuables.
Mr Ponayotpolu and his wife, Dorice Musonda, were travelling from Kapiri Mposhi when they were attacked.
The two demanded money but Mr Ponayotpolu explained that he only had K5 million.
They argued that the amount was too small and that they needed K10 million.
Mr Ponayotpolu, however, told Chibuye and Kunda that some more money was with his wife who at the time had run away.
The two dragged Mr Ponayotpolu to his house where they grabbed US$2, 000 and other valuables before getting away with his Toyota Hilux.
After hearing the case, Mr Justice Reuben Mwape sentenced the two to death on April 27, 2009. Meanwhile, the same court has upheld a 25-year jail term on a 79-year-old man for defilement.
Redson Kumwenda defiled a 12-year-old girl on July 8, 2007, in Chama District.

GAME 3 Buzz
On the brink of falling down 0-3, we'll find out a lot about the Pittsburgh Penguins hockey club this afternoon when the puck drops at 3:08 p.m.
The Latest on Matt Niskanen's availability for Game 3.... Read More
For the past couple weeks, even after wins, a common theme coming out of the Penguins locker room has been frustrations among key players about the Penguins looking to "out-score teams than out-defend". All the frustrations from players though, has just been lip service as it's defensive breakdown after defensive breakdown for the Penguins with the same issues being there on a nightly basis.
The Penguins are giving up 4.2 goals against in their last nine games, and some of it's personnel but the big issue according to at least one scout I spoke with this weekend is the Penguins "mindset".
"They clearly have a mindset problem, " an NHL source said. "It's in their identity to push the play in transition and {that} can be dangerous hockey when you're [continuously] looking for that long {or stretch pass} pass through the neutral zone against Philadelphia that can come right back at you."
"Ken Hitchcock isn't coming through that door, " the source added, when asked if it's feasible for a coaching staff to suddenly revamp their system to a more defensive structure on such a short span in between games and whether he expects the Penguins coaching staff to go away from their offensive attacking style (that they believe in) and decide to tighten things up. "A coach trying to go away from what he believes [system] in.... it just leads to trouble, " the source said mentioning Bruce Boudreau in Washington as an example.

Does Speech Reveal That Petraeus' Mistress Had Access to Classified Information About Libya Attack?
A recent speech given by Gen. David Petraeus' mistress Paula Broadwell during which she discussed the four Americans killed in the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya is raising eyebrows, leaving many wondering whether she and Petraeus shared classified intelligence and whether she inadvertently spilled some of those secrets during her remarks.
During the speech at the University of Denver, Broadwell said, "I don't know if a lot of you heard this but the CIA annex had actually had taken a couple of Libyan militia members prisoner and they think that the attack on the consulate was an effort to try to get these prisoners back. That's still being vetted."
Jennifer Griffin reports that Fox News originally reported on October 26 that based on conversations with sources that the CIA contractors had captured three Libyan prisoners who they handed over to the Libyan authorities when they fled Benghazi. Griffin reports that we've now learned the prisoners may have been held at the annex for a few days. The CIA denies this, saying in a statement, "The CIA has not had detention authority since January 2009, when Executive Order 13491 was issued. Any suggestion that the agency is still in the detention business is uninformed and baseless."

Yesterday was one of those days you never forget Jordi, the seventh stage between Calama and Skip was complicated at times and the pilot arrived at Bivouac past twelve at night. To give you an idea of the strength of this evidence, note that participants in the Dakar special begin each day at dawn after making several hundred kilometers of link. Specifically yesterday, the stage was timed 218 and 585 link and crossed two countries Chile and Argentina.
Jordi broke down on his motorcycle shortly after starting the special, exactly at mile 38, he could not resolve until six in the afternoon approximately. Because in the marathon stages like this, the assists are not permitted, our pilot had to contrive with the tools he had on him to repair the Husqvarna. He himself has told how she faced the difficult situation:
"I set the path to the bivouac knowing that I'd catch the night, but I tried to concentrate on driving and not risking too much to not suffer any downtime. The bike was fine, but driving at night forced me to go little by little, it becomes very hard to stay focused after so many hours, but I tried and just focused my mind on every yard progressed. When you're in the race and is the day you know that if anything ever happens is passing other riders, bikes either, cars or trucks, but apart from a truck that had been unable to finish the stage, there was only me, and that made me take it slow. But that was not all, it started raining and snowing that altitude, and visibility became even smaller, is terrible to drive in these conditions, but was willing to finish the stage in order to stay in the race. "
After spending six hours driving, with poor visibility, difficulty reading the roadbook that lets you avoid getting lost, dark and raining, Jordi arrived at the bivouac in cars and trucks. Although I should have finished in the bivouac of bikes, fortunately the organization decided that, as a precaution and prioritizing the integrity of the pilot, Jordi to stay with them. Motorcycle reach the bivouac, supposed back up to 5,000 meters and snowing night. Jordi already had too many hours in the race and also could run out of gas. A Jordi finally touched hers reassure:
"Upon arrival at the bivouac after many hours I called the home run, that's the hard part of this race also, no hear from me did not know under what conditions you can imagine I was and what they were eternal hours not only for me but for friends, family ... Also, do you know of whom I remembered? Del school Ullastrell Serralavella of each year that follows me and worried a lot during a similar experience when I lived in the Atacama Desert in another Dakar when after breaking a part of the bike I was without a navigation system or GPS. Did not know how to find the control points let alone how to get to the bivouac. They sent me some pictures of how incredible it had lived and sending me encouragement. "
On that occasion, Jordi not only made it to the bivouac after 400 kilometers blindly by Atacama but not missed even one step controls. He lost four hours in the Atacama desert with no chance of being guided only by the marks that he encountered. Came dehydrated and doing the last kilometer towed by a colleague why he had run out of gas, but never threw in the towel! Yesterday he did it again. In Walnut we have no words to describe what has been able to do Jordi. Showed that not only wins Dakar which takes the podium. For us, and certainly for all its people, Jordi won his Dakar yesterday.
And to top it off, the pilot still in the race Igualada and faces the eighth stage of the Dakar in Argentine territory between Salta and San Miguel de Tucuman with 183 and 228 competitive kilometers liaison. Tomorrow, day off, well deserved for Jordi Viladoms. By the way, you are preparing a surprise:)
Ah! By the way, the image illustrating this post is one of the school's students drawings of Ullastrell Serralavella did to Jordi when lost in Atacama. It reads: "A single sentence but very important, go ahead".
Nate in N.E.
Yes, I have a Dakar problem -- that there are 50 weeks of the year without Dakar!
They don't expect you to finish. That's why it's the Dakar. -- PPiA

Alyssa Milano talks 'Project Runway All Stars' Season 3: 'The emotion is really raw'Add to Favorites | Project Runway All Stars
"Project Runway All Stars" kicks off its third season Thursday (Oct. 24) with new host Alyssa Milano, guest judge Debbie Harry, and a whole lot of scores needing to be settled.
"I have always been a huge 'Project Runway' fan," Milano tells Zap2it. "I watched since the very first season."
Milano, who has a licensed sports apparel line for women -- and is the daughter of a designer and granddaughter of a milliner -- says she loves being around the fashions from creation to execution.
The new "All Stars" season features designers Isaac Mizrahi and Georgina Chapman returning as judges, joined by newcomer Zanna Roberts Rassi of Marie Claire magazine. Guest judges include Kristin Chenoweth, Michael Urie and Nate Berkus.
"The emotion is really raw on competition television and because there is always a clock ticking down. It [lends] itself to the drama," Milano says. "The fun of it for those of us watching at home, we all have our own pick. Sometimes it does not work out as we think it should."
The first challenge, in honor of Harry from Blondie, is punk. Though some designers whip up beautiful outfits, they're a lot more chic than the grittiness of punk rock.
The returning contestants bring attitude, and a need to avenge themselves, except for Jeffrey Sebelia, who won Season 3.
Most seem to feel the way Viktor Luna (Season 9, third place) does: "I was robbed," he says.
Others are poised for a fight.
"I am here to sew stitches and cut b****es," says Christopher Palu (Season 10, fourth place).
The tension is pretty clear from the moment the designers hit Mood.
"There is drama, personality conflicts, and the drama is heightened because they are all tired and the competition is so fierce there is no way they couldn't be emotionally drained and drama gets more and more as the episodes progress," Milano says.
Despite the cattiness, tension and the fact that scissors make great weapons, no one is hurt.
"There are no physical altercations," Milano says. "I think it is all pretty professional in that sense. There is definitely ego involved and personality conflicts."
"Project Runway All Stars" premieres at 9 p.m. ET Thursday on Lifetime.

Michael Kinsley is full of invective for the citizens, pundits, and politicians who oppose ObamaCare. We are, he tells us, like "spoiled children." We are filled with misinformation. We don't know what's good for us or what we want. (It's getting to the point where being on the enemies list for ObamaCare is becoming cool—the Right's badge of honor, as Nixon's enemies list was for the Left.) But he does get one thing right: Americans aren't up for a huge change in the way they get health care. The vast majority of voters, remember, have health care they like. It was Obama and the congressional Democrats who came up with the idea that we had to destroy the existing system and start all over.
A few points are in order. First, Americans are opposed to ObamaCare not because of irrational fears cooked up by talk-show hosts but because they have figured out what's in it. Seniors figured out that hundreds of billions of dollars in Medicare cuts might impact their care. The notion of "comparative effectiveness" research and government interference with treatment decisions have rightly alarmed voters. (Remember when liberals used to be concerned about personal autonomy and medical privacy?) And the looming costs and gargantuan deficit figures have freaked out Republicans, independents, and a good number of Democrats.
Second, the Obama administration, by Kinsley's reckoning, is guilty of political malpractice if they can't, with all their communication and political advantages, get us to understand what a great deal this is. It's almost as if the bigger the project, the more incompetently politicians handle it. Yes, if they can't handle the sales job on nationalized health care, maybe they aren't up for the health-care part either.
And finally, Kinsley's right: Obama ran as a moderate in a center-right country and has embarked on a radical agenda to reinvent everything about everything. The recession was going to lower our resistance to change. It didn't. Americans are not politically radical; the president's agenda is. Hence, the problem.
One would think that the solution would be some modest health-care reforms focusing on portability and insurance pools for small business, for example. Wouldn't modest change be less scary and more acceptable to those easily frightened voters? But then Obama would have to change. He'd have to rethink his government-centric vision of health care and just about every other aspect of his domestic agenda. That may be a problem. He wanted Americans to change. Now that they won't—at least not in the sweeping fashion he had hoped—we'll see how flexible he is.

The drive to collect iron to build the world's tallest statue, the Statue of Unity, on the Narmada, seems to have fizzled out. The Sardar Sarovar Narmada Nigam Ltd (SSNNL) godown in the Chhani area of Vadodara, which has been the repository for the iron brought from across India, has seen little action over the last two months.
The last truck carrying palletized cartons containing the trademark white and orange boxes of farm tools, a bottle of village soil and a satin scroll containing the names of the contributors and a form with details of the village, arrived here on April 24 from Ahmedabad, according to official records.
A laminated white placard hangs on the gate, directing those wishing to hand over "contents" for the Statue of Unity to three representatives of SSNL, whose phones numbers have been mentioned. Inside the compound, the sheds stand locked.
Records at the SSNNL office in Narmada Bhavan in Vadodara show 16 states have contributed zero iron tools to the project, which was an important part of Narendra Modi's campaign for prime ministership. Some of these states are BJP ruled — Rajasthan, for example, has sent nothing.
The entire Northeast — Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Tripura, Sikkim, Mizoram and Nagaland — has remained aloof, while kits from Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, Maharashtra, Uttarakhand, Jharkhand and Punjab are "awaited".
Karnataka has sent only five resource kits, while BJP-ruled Goa has sent 386.
Uttar Pradesh has contributed the largest number of kits — 40,000 — beating Modi's home state Gujarat to the second place with 33,000 kits. Tamil Nadu sent 12,000; Bihar, Chhattisgarh and Chandigarh 10,000 each.
Sources said the movement to collect iron for the statue of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, which was compared to the drive to collect bricks for the Ram temple in Ayodhya, fell flat after NGO Citizens for Accountable Governance (CAG) exited in January, after having completed its mandate of designing and rolling out the project's pan-India outreach and social mobilisation plan.
According to sources, SSNL was entrusted with the implementation of the project three years ago, but for two years, it could not come up with a plan on how to collect iron for the project. It was then, in August 2013, that CAG was roped. It was asked to come up with a plan to reach out to people, ask them to contribute iron and soil for the project, and to build a buzz around it. The CAG website says it conducted "1 regional workshop in each of the South, East, West and North-East regions and 2 workshops in the North region".
Last December, Modi, as chief minister of Gujarat, flagged off a convoy of trucks that were to travel across India on a drive to collect iron tools from seven lakh villages. The statue was to be 182 …continued »

Aug. 12 (Bloomberg) -- Shareholders of Easyjet Plc may reject founder Stelios Haji-Ioannou's effort to oust Chairman Mike Rake at a meeting tomorrow, according to the Sunday Times.

Hardie Gramatky
A vignette of the daily life of Hardie and Dorothea Gramatky
What was my parents' daily life like? There were years when they would get up at 6:30 a.m. for "Sunrise Semester," a television show with New York University professors who discussed literature (from Proust to Virginia Woolf to Camus), an interest of Hardie's that never waned. After breakfast, my father would work in his studio for the morning, coming downstairs for lunch, then upstairs again to work. Some days he would take the train into the City to deliver an illustrating job. Doppy recalled that occasionally she'd take his jobs in for him. "Whichever it was, we'd be so glad to get home and compare notes on Our Day!" And if he wanted to take a day off and it was a nice day, he would go out and do the fields with his tractor (it was fun to see him and our neighbor, Dr. David Beck, zipping around on their two tractors!) or put up some shelves or turn over the garden. In the evening, Hardie would come downstairs around 5:00, and they'd have a cocktail and talk in our kitchen. Then they'd take the dogs for a walk and Mom would make dinner. Of course, this schedule would change if an art director said, "I want it the first thing Monday morning" because then Hardie would be working late hours on the job.
Our house in Westport was a one-of-a-kind Dutch colonial farmhouse that was perched on top of a hill at 60 Roseville Road. In the winter, we could see the Long Island Sound through the trees at the back of the two-acre property. Hardie's studio on the second floor had a picture window letting in the north light and a funny, old-fashioned sink that was great for washing out paintbrushes. There were two ceramic vases, one filled with the "not good brushes" that a daughter or grandchild might head for, the other filled with the "good ones" that we left alone. [Happily, my husband, Kendall Smith, and I moved back into my childhood home in 1993 and love all the memories and views of living there in a town that still celebrates writers and artists from its long history as an "art town". Ken uses Dad's drawing table as a desk and we both spend a lot of time in the "studio" working on the computer.]

YIELD: Makes 4 to 6 servings
Warm a 3-qt (3-l) cast-iron kettle over medium-high heat. When hot, add the oil, garlic, shallots, and salt and sauté until golden brown, about 1 minute. Raise the heat to high, add the mussels, and toss to coat with the oil. Add the sugar, fish sauce, and 1 teaspoon pepper and stir to combine.
Reduce the heat to medium-high, cover, and cook until the mussels open, 3-5 minutes. Discard any that failed to open. The sauce should be the consistency of a light syrup. If the sauce is too thin, using a slotted spoon, transfer the mussels to a plate. Raise the heat to high and cook the sauce, stirring frequently, until reduced, 3-5 minutes. Return the mussels to the kettle and toss to coat.
Garnish the mussels with the chile and cilantro sprigs and serve right away.
Serving mussels
For a more formal supper, set out a small seafood fork at each place setting. At a more casual meal, your guests can also use an empty mussel shell as a pair of pincers to pick the meats from the shells. Show diners this trick at the table. Set out a large bowl for the empty shells.

'That 70s Show' Star Lisa Robin Kelly Arrested for Allegedly Assaulting Her Husband
Police in North Carolina have arrested Lisa Robin Kelly, who starred on the hit sitcom 'That 70s Show,' for attacking her husband. They say that drugs and alcohol were likely not a factor. The 42-year-old was also arrested for spousal abuse in March, but the charges were dropped.

Health ministers in Australia and New Zealand decided in December that all genetically modified food sold in the two countries must be labelled as such from 1 May this year. The countries' food producers are annoyed that labelling will be required even if the genetic modification doesn't affect food's taste, size or nutritional value, and claim that the ruling will reduce their international competitiveness. However, the European Union has already adopted similar rules, putting Europe and Australasia at odds with the US on the issue. The US argues that enforced labelling of modified foods creates unfair trade barriers.

The Bachelor
Sean Lowe's Bachelor Blog: Tierra LiCausi Lacked Maturity, Social Skills
Sean Lowe's trip to St. Croix was an emotional roller coaster filled with lots of linen shirts, flip-flops, and feelings. So many feelings. Luckily, our presiding Bachelor is a poetic genius, and he's taken it to the interwebs to dish his thoughts about what went down in The Virgin Islands. Aside from his personal realization that sand is gross and should never be allowed, and that he is still, in fact, a virgin. Check out the highlights!
On AshLee Being Un-Fun: "Given her traumatic childhood, it's understandable why AshLee [Frazier] has control issues. But I think that was preventing her from really letting go and allowing herself to have fun. I really want a partner that I can laugh uncontrollably with and someone who can make even mundane tasks feel exciting. I hoped AshLee had that quality in her, or that I brought it out in her, and I was ready to find out."
On Giving the Rose to Lindsay: "We spent the day traveling and touring the island in a Jeep. At the end of the day, I really didn't know who I would give the rose to because they were all so deserving. But I decided to give it to Lindsay [Yenter] because she was so supportive, patient and encouraging throughout this entire journey."
On Letting Lesley Go: "Our date was fun, but I needed more than fun. I desperately wanted to see her open up emotionally and allow me to see her true feelings, but that never happened. I was shocked to hear her say on TV that she loved me, and I was left confused as to why she didn't tell me that during our date. Had she told me, it could have changed everything.... When it came time to send someone home at the rose ceremony, I felt confident in my decision. As much as I enjoyed spending time with Lesley [Murphy], I knew I had to send her home because she never allowed herself to open up emotionally.
On Tierra Going Cray-Cray: "I found Tierra [LiCausi] crying on her bed with her head in her hands. I had already figured by this point that Tierra was not the woman I was going to marry, so when I saw how distraught she was, I knew I had to end it right then and there. I still believe Tierra has more good in her than people see, but I also recognize that she doesn't have the maturity or social skills necessary to make it on The Bachelor."
Burn, Sean. BURN.

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
By Sarah Shearman, mediaweek.co.uk, Monday, 22 October 2012 11:57AM
The quarterly 'Global Facebook Advertising' report by the social media agency, examines trends and changes in the performance of its Facebook advertising campaigns. The study is based on 520 billion impressions in more than 190 countries, for 282 of TBG's clients.
According to the study, click-through-rates (CTR) on Facebook ads, which are an indicator of how much an ad is being engaged with, rose by 81% quarter on quarter in the major markets of the US, Canada, UK, France and Germany, for the three months ended 30 September.
TBG Digital attributed this overall rise to better ad creative and improvements in ad targeting.
While the US saw a surge in CTR to 99% for Q3, compared to the previous quarter, the rate in the UK dipped 4%.
Speaking to Media Week, Simon Mansell, chief executive of TBG Digital said that in the UK, advertisers used Facebook ads as a direct response mechanism, whereas in the US they are used more for brand building, meaning UK advertisers send traffic offsite, rather than on Facebook.
Mansell said: "The US leads the way in social media marketing and recognises that it is the most powerful building tool since TV, but I don't think UK advertisers are on board with this yet."
The report showed that quarter on quarter, the cost-per-click (CPC) rate was flat, dropping 2%, while it decreased in the US by 40%. It did not break out what the cost was however.
Mansell said this drop in the US was because more advertisers were using news feed ads more than in the UK, meaning the demand drove down the cost. He said that advertisers in the UK were favouring the ads on the right-hand side of the page, which tend to drive traffic off the Facebook site, meaning the CPC remained the same.
The report provides data on mobile ads for the first time, after Facebook started selling them in March. TBG Digital did not break out UK specific mobile data. However, it showed that in the US, mobile news feed ads were receiving CTRs of 1.29%, which was almost 23 times that of desktop news feed and right hand-side ads.
Mansell said: "The CTR on mobile is performing well, but the CPC is higher than on desktop, which is probably because Facebook is being careful about how many they are serving on mobile, meaning supply is lower."

Art Market Blog Progress Report for January 2008
Art Market Blog Progress Report for January 2008
Well, January has been another huge month for myself, the art market and the Art Market Blog so I thought that I would share some of the events that have made January such an exciting month. In January 2008 I:
-Continued preparing for the launch of a major new project that is going to be absolutely huge and will definitely get the art world talking. I have been trying to think of hint as to what the project will involve without giving anything so here is my hint: Look to the stars and find the brightest. Intriguing huh…
-Made an effort towards fulfilling my new years resolution which was to become more involved in the lcoal (Sydney, Australia) art scene. Having been recently named as the Australian correspondent for the New Art TV (http://www.newarttv.com) will certainly help me to fulfill my new years resolution. If you know of any good exhibitions in Sydney, Australia that would are worth filming let me know.
-Purchased a work by the awesome artist Rikrit Tiravanija
-Recorded a radio interview with a major US investment/business radion program on the subject of Eli Broad's decision to lend his collection to museums and galleries instead of donating it. I will let you all know when the interview will be airing and should be able to post the interview on the blog once it has aired. If you want my opinion on anything to do with art and the art market for radio, television, print or web, email me at firstname.lastname@example.com or contact me via the blog.
-Turned a year older
-Began trying to figure out a way to get Tim Hawkinson to donate one his artworks to me (no luck so far)
-Worked on making my facebook profile a little bit more exciting. You can become one of my facebook friends here: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=523198721
-Made good progress on the book I am writing which, funnily enough, has something to do with art.
-Began installing my new gallery hanging system in my bedroom
February looks like another hectic month so I will provide another progress report at the beginning of March.
