24 Hours in Philadelphia
4 comments | Leave Comment
Although the Spirit of 1776 still lingers in the Philadelphia air, some of the most exciting things happening in Philadelphia are of a recent vintage. From innovative and interactive museums to a surprising array of moderately-priced kosher restaurants, Philadelphia has a lot to offer and conveniently located just a short drive from Baltimore/Washington and New York City, it's easy to spend 24 hours in Philadelphia.
We started our day at The Barnes Foundation, a magnificent art museum that moved from Lower Merion to its stunning downtown Philadelphia location in 2011. Established by Albert C. Barnes in 1922, the Barnes holds one of the finest collections of post-impressionist and early modern paintings in America, with extensive holdings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Paul Cézanne, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Henri Rousseau, Amedeo Modigliani, Chaim Soutine and Giorgio de Chirico, as well as American masters and decorative arts from around the globe.
All those still-life portraits can make you hungry and Philadelphia boasts a number of affordable options for lunch. Mama's Vegetarian is a popular spot for falafel, salads and other Middle Eastern fare. For carnivores, Judah Mediterranean Grill and Hamifgash offer glatt kosher Israeli food and other tastes of the Mediterranean. There are also two Chinese restaurants and a vegan pizza shop that are under some form of kosher supervision.
We decided to venture outside of the city to try Citron and Rose, an upscale restaurant located in Lower Merion (about 20 minutes from downtown Philly). Owner David Magerman and Chef Michael Solomonov opened the restaurant to rave reviews in 2012 before splitting up a few months ago over creative differences.
Chef Karen Nicolas, who was named "Best New Chef" by Food & Wine in 2012, is now behind the kitchen at Citron and Rose and although this was my first visit to the restaurant, it's hard to imagine a much better dining experience regardless of who was wearing the apron. The restaurant aims to take traditional Jewish foods and present them with a modern, creative edge. I enjoyed Spinach-Kasha Croquettes with seeded gherkin relish and cascabel pepper aioli as my starter. I also had both the Citron Burger served with tomato confit, sauce remoulade and saffron-onion pickles and absolutely loved the Spit Roasted Lamb Reuben served with sauerkraut, roasted red pepper and thousand island dressing on a thinly sliced rye crisp.
After lunch, we visited The National Museum of American Jewish History, located adjacent to the Independence Mall in Philadelphia. The Museum highlights the 350-year history of Jews in America, and vividly and poignantly shares the story of the American Jewish experience from before the American Revolution through the turbulent 20th century where World War II and the Holocaust as well as assimilation, the civil rights movement and prosperity challenged traditional Jewish identity.
Since it was July 4th, my evening entertainment was skyward. The City puts together a massive street party followed by some of the best fireworks in the country, set against the backdrop of the Philadelphia Museum of Art (cue the "Rocky" theme song). All in all it was a wonderful day in Philadelphia and I look forward to my next visit.
If you live nearby or recently came back from Philly, share some of your recommendations and kosher travel tips below. We'd love to hear from you!

tamar, thank you for a lovely article on the greater philly community! i moved here about 2 years ago and am happy with the restaurant selection and even happier that the selection continues to grow.
just to expand on what you wrote above about "some form of kosher supervision", i'll add a quick reminder that visitors should check with their respective rabbis about recommended hashgachos. the major local hashgacha which is widely accepted by all is Community Kashrus of Great Philadelphia (aka "the Keystone-K"), but opinions vary on other hechshers, including the Ko and International Kosher Council (or IKC), so research is recommended.
thanks again, tamar, for spotlighting our city so favorably. hope you visit again soon!
Hi Jamie I heard you were at Rabbi Isaackson shul. I am sorry I missed you .My name is Inna Rosies aunt, Vinces mom. Let me know if you coming to philly again. Thank you

After hearing Ben's comments last week about Todd Haley's offense, and how it's slightly more complex than internet schoolin', I figured it made sense to talk to people who had actually watched Haley's offense closely in recent years.
So I enlisted the help of Joel Thorman, the NFL editor at SBNation, as well as the guy behind Arrowhead Pride, SBNation's Chiefs blog. Surprisingly, Joel liked Haley, which is something you seldom hear because we're usually preoccupied with visions of the insane sideline rants or the Nixonian accusations of wire-tapping.
Either way, it's a different perspective — and a welcome one given that the rending of garments hit an all-time high for some segments of the fan base after Bruce Arians "retired."
Before we get to the chattin', some stats:
Offenses under Todd Haley (as either the offensive coordinator or head coach, via Football Outsiders):
* 2007, Cardinals – 19th overall, 15th pass, 27th run, run-pass ratio: 39.5%;
* 2008, Cardinals – 15th, 8th, 28th, 34.1%;
* 2009, Chiefs – 25th, 25th, 21st, 42.9%;
* 2010, Chiefs – 13th, 15th, 9th, 52.3%;
* 2011, Chiefs – 29th, 25th, 30th, 47.6%;
Alright, let's get to this:

Hammond's Jermika Miller had long wanted to win a state title. The triple jumper finally got one Friday — in her last high school meet.
Miller won her event in Class 3A at the state championship meet at Morgan State on a day that featured weather more suited for football than track. The senior turned in her second-best jump of the season to win on the first day of competition for Class 3A and 4A schools.
The No. 6 Digital Harbor boys lead in Class 3A (23 points), thanks to a win from Michael Francis in the long jump and Corey Mendez's second-place effort in the high jump. Severna Park's boys are second in Class 4A, behind Clarksburg (32.5).

The meet's final day for all four classes begins Saturday at 10 a.m., an hour earlier than scheduled as some Class 1A and 2A events were postponed by Thursday's storms.
Miller's triple jump of 38 feet, 4.25 inches was more than two feet better than Linganore's Samantha Johnson (36-4), who finished second. The winning jump came on Miller's first attempt — each participant gets six chances — and was enough.
"It feels really good," Miller said. "I ended my high school career on a good note."
Miller also enjoyed the win because she'll be coming to Morgan State in the fall and will run track for the Bears.
She also had to battle the weather a bit. She thought the temperature would be warmer and just wore her uniform and no leggings. Strong gusting winds were out, but the wind was more with her than against.
The weather wound up being a story for a second consecutive day, with temperatures in the mid-50s coupled with swirling winds.
"Any time you see a drastic shift [in weather], it's going to affect athletes," said Jason Bowman, one of Hereford's coaches. "It definitely slowed times in the sprints and hurdles. It tightens up an athlete who has to do an explosive activity ... but for distance runners, it's good."
It didn't seem to affect pole vaulter Brennan Hardesty from Chesapeake-Anne Arundel. He took first with his effort of 13 feet after winning the indoor state title in the winter with the same height.
C. Milton Wright's Kathy Kammerer took the Class 3A pole vault for girls (10 feet). Northeast's Nick Moorhead captured the shot put in Class 3A (53-11.75).

Glee Spoilers: Which "Break-Up" Couple Will Reconnect in "Swan Song?"
We're still recovering our composure after Kurt (Chris Colfer) and Blaine's (Darren Criss) tearful phone conversation in Season 4, Episode 8: "Thanksgiving." . But before any of you think it's safe to wear mascara for next week's Glee, think again. It sounds like another couple who called it quits in "The Break-Up" will share their own tender moment in next week's episode, "Swan Song."
Last night, Lea Michele (Rachel Berry) tweeted a teaser that made us squeal with, well, glee.
Hope you all enjoyed #glee tonight! Next weeks episode is super good:) Really sweet #finchel phone call and I got sing two Barbra songs!— Lea Michele (@msleamichele) November 30, 2012
We don't think this means Rachel and Finn (Cory Monteith) are getting back together — at least not this episode. They both have a lot of growing and self-discovery to do before they can be together. (And they will be together. They just have to be!) We're just glad they're not going to leave things the way they did in "Glease."

Palm Chief Says WebOS 2.0 On Target for Later This Year

Re: Web OS
MrGuder said:
Now that's a pretentious claim if I ever heard one. Android may not be as polished and fine tuned but any idiot knows it's not going anywhere Blue. Have some common sense. WebOS is better than Android in certain aspects but it's dead and no one gives a hoot about it.
I checked out a Palm Pre before I picked up my Evo and WebOS was impressive indeed but the device was ugly and felt like cheap plastic in my hand. Palm is no longer relevant. They had their day. I owned a Treo before my Crackberry and was quite fond of their devices but it's over. Let them die already. HP can't and won't save them. HTC probably could have but still it just didn't catch on.
It appears that you seem to so threatened by Android just like Steve Jobs. Just the mere mention of it and you can see Jobs' veins pop out of his neck
I love my new Evo btw. 4g coverage is so-so but overall reception is great. I'm very satisfied with my purchase and so glad I didn't become one of the sheep. I was tempted by the iPhone 4 but I didn't fall for the hype. The Evo rocks!
The Evo doesn't rock. YOU ROCK!!! Glad you're enjoying your Evo and didn't become one of the sheep. Good for you. Palm is dead. webOS is irelevant, HP ain't gonna save em, Verizon couldn't even give Pixi's away for free, blue's an self-righteous pompous jacka$$ who thinks he knows what he's talking about and I'm about to enjoy a nice Italian dinner on this nice warm evening. My Evo will accompany me as well and I'll be tethering it to my netbook later after my dinner.

This content is currently being translated
Why is this important?
The pace of business communication has increased due to online technologies, most specifically social networking. As such, Office 365 has evolved to a more social suite. For example, Yammer, an Enterprise Social Network (ESN) helps your organization listen, adapt, and grow in new ways by working like a network.
Start driving adoption within your organization
Sign-up with your Office 365 account and create your personalized adoption plan
Note: If you don't have an Office 365 account, you can sign-up for a free trial.
Benefits for the employees
Some of the best ideas come from spontaneous conversations, with people you never expected. That's why Yammer is built around open communication – where people work in the open, conversations only happen in private when they need to and everyone benefits from shared information.
Yammer gives you a voice to share your knowledge and skills with others so you can make the most out of what you know. It starts with your Yammer profile. Complete your profile so coworkers can discover who you are, what you're working on and how you can work together.
Everyone holds a wealth of information – expertise in a specific area, content created for a project or insights from previous experiences. Yammer lets you discover things you wouldn't have found otherwise: the right people, documents and conversations you need to get your best work done.
Benefits for the organization
Listen to the conversations that matter
Connect your organization to boost engagement and surface important information and experts. Yammer users gain 76% more visibility into other departments or locations, and 80% are more informed with what is happening inside their organization.
Grow your business
Drive innovation, get to market faster and deliver experiences that grow customer loyalty with Yammer. Among business leaders of networked organizations, 93% agree that Enterprise Social tools stimulate innovation in their companies.
Adapt and make smarter decisions
Open collaboration is more efficient collaboration. Yammer helps teams quickly adapt to change and work together more productively. 71% of business leaders report that Enterprise Social tools increase the speed of access to knowledge.
Tips to set yourself up for success
Easily embed a Yammer feed into other enterprise applications your organization is using, such as an intranet or SharePoint teamsites, so that employees can access and respond to Yammer conversations from whichever platform they're using.
You can also get your executives and leadership teams involved by incorporating Yammer into an all-company meeting or event.
Oftentimes called a "YamJam," employees can submit their questions and comments to a designated Yammer group where executives can then provide responses and updates in real-time.
See how this scenario has helped customers improve
"The number one thing I use Yammer for is to feel the pulse of the business from the perspective of front-line team members. That's invaluable to me."

(PRWEB UK) 25 January 2013
Coventry Building Society is increasing the rates on its existing variable cash ISAs to 2.50% AER. The increase, which will benefit c250,000 members, takes effect from 6 April 2013.
The announcement bucks the trend to reduce savings rates that has coincided with availability of cheaper funding, including that provided by the Funding for Lending Scheme.
Colin Franklin, Sales and Marketing Director at Coventry said, "The benefit to borrowers of cheap funding is clear. However, as a mutual building society, our aim is to ensure that all our members benefit. Increasing our cash ISA rate, which is the starting point for many peoples' long term savings, is the clearest way we can do this."
"Our track record on ISAs is already very good. Our 60 Day Notice ISA has been a 'best buy' for over 40 weeks, and our Junior ISA has been market-leading since its launch last April. Now we are going further."
"By increasing the rate on all existing variable cash ISA s to 2.50%, we are helping the savings of many thousands of members to work a little harder, and sharing a benefit that up to now has been skewed towards borrowers. From 6th April, none of Coventry's quarter of a million ISA customers will earn less than 2.50% AER – which is the best 'easy access' variable cash ISA currently available."
"Not that we are forgetting our mortgage members - we will continue to use the funding we can access to help them too. However our record in helping homeowners is second to none. Coventry became a top ten lender during the credit crisis and in the last 2 years has accounted for over 20% of net lending in the UK¹. In fact in the first half of 2012 we achieved 45% of net lending in the UK²
"However, it is about time that organisations recognised the plight of savers, and as responsible and member focused financial services institution we are proud to take a lead where we can."
Please read accompanying notes
Notes to Editors
¹ 1 July 2010 – 30 June 2012 [base data: Bank of England]
² 2012 full year results will be announced in March 2013.

Goin' for Gold: New Student Services Building Planned
A new building at MCC that will house student services is in development, creating a one-stop location for Admissions, Financial Aid, the Scholarships Office, Student Accounts, Advising, the Registrar and First-Year Experience. Called the Center for Student Services, it will also include a student lounge, a large multipurpose room, a central lobby area with online admission kiosks, a conference room and office space.
"This building will be a wonderful gateway addition to our campus," said College President Joann La Perla-Morales. "It will provide a new level of service for students and their families, plus serve as a central location for all enrollment needs. It'll be our headquarters for student success."
Alice Picardo, interim dean of enrollment management, said the Center for Student Services will allow MCC to bring all enrollment support services together to create more productive communication for those areas that admit, advise and register students.
"It'll combine areas that are critical to student success, including Student Accounts and Financial Aid," she said. "We recognize how important Financial Aid is to our students so this will assist in delivering those services in an optimal way.
"This project shows our students that Middlesex County College values their academic experience, but also the processes that support academic achievement. We want to make the procedures smoother, from their first contact with the College to the time they walk across the stage at graduation. The building will be located at the perimeter of the campus, allowing for easy access from both the parking lots and the interior of the campus. It'll be a wonderful addition to MCC."
Middlesex's most recent building, Crabiel Hall, received a LEED® silver rating from the United States Green Building Council, signifying its environmental attributes. LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is an internationally recognized mark of excellence that provides building owners with a framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions.
The College is attempting to attain a gold rating for this building.
Donald Drost Jr., executive director of facilities management, said the new, two-story building is approximately 26,000 square feet, and will be near the ecological park, at the corner of Parkside Drive and College Drive East. The project includes improvements to the park – a more defined path, new lighting and benches – as well as upgrading two parking lots and increasing the number of spaces in them.
DMR Architects has been selected and the actual construction is scheduled to start in the summer of 2014, with an opening date of October 2015. It is expected to cost $12 million and will be funded by Chapter 12, a program in which the county government sells bonds, and the state and the county then split the debt service.
"This is going to be a fantastic building that will serve many generations of students," Mr. Drost said.

Poor governments will need to pay $175 for $100 laptop
April 27, 2007
The news comes as the laptop faces mounting challenges from Microsoft, which will introduce a $3 versions of the Windows operating system for poor countries, and criticism from observers who say that developing countries should not be asked to foot the bill for what is an unproven technology. Still the OLPC computer has won acclaim from the U.N. and the U.S. state department.
The laptops have been billed as a durable low-cost PC for students in developing countries. The project has received support from Google, AMD, Brightstar, News Corporation, and Red Hat. Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft criticized the computer in March 2006 but by December 2006 it became evident that Microsoft was involved in the project.

The Associated Press reports that the laptop's manufacturer, Quanta Computer Inc., will earn a profit of $3 per machine, below it's normal margin. The foundation behind the project will also collect $1 from each laptop sold.
The Associated Press reports that American computer manufacturers are concerned that OLPC laptops could end up in U.S. schools, creating fierce competition in the domestic PC market.

Are your tanks full? As long as fuel is above carb level it'll feed the carbs. This is a quick way to tell if you have a bad fuel pump... I'm on my 3rd one.
Unless you added a fuel filter, there isn't one on there from the factory besides the strainer screens on the petcocks. Otherwise a plugged up one can cause this.
Since you rejetted, it could be something has gone awry in the carbs. Remote possibilities could be a leaking diaphragm, sticking float needle, overly lean adjusted float.... but these just don't seem likely to me.
Could also be sucking air from one of the smog gear holes in the intakes.
My money's on fuel pump

LINN COUNTY, Iowa - A new drought report released Thursday shows the nation's dry conditions are worsening.
The latest weekly U.S. Drought Monitor Report showed that 60.1% of the lower 48 states were in some form of drought this week. That's up from 58.8% just the week before. The amount of land in extreme or exception drought conditions is now 19.04%.
State Climatologist Harry Hillaker said Iowa's drought status was basically unchanged from the prior week. However, eastern Iowa is better than it was some weeks ago when most of the area was in extreme or severe drought.
Still, that's not necessarily good news because after above normal precipitation in October, many were hoping to make up even more ground on the drought in November. And for farmers, the implications of a second year of severe drought is something they'd rather not contemplate so soon.
Linn County farmer Al Platner said his "wetland" in one field isn't so wet right now and he only got a half crop from an alfalfa field. Yet, like most farmers he won't push the panic button this far in advance of spring planting.
"Well, we're eternal optimists. We've got most of our fertilizer in the ground for next year. And that's with the hope we're going to get some kind of moisture this spring or over winter," Platner said.
Still, Platner agreed a lot of farmers are nervous because the "could-have-been-worse" harvest this year came with a price. Crops this year totally depleted subsoil moisture. Without enough rain next spring to recharge the soil, crops may have a much tougher time growing in 2013.
Denny Sejkora, another Linn County farmer, didn't really make any changes in anticipation of a continued drought next year. He tilled his fields as normal this fall and applied the usual amount of fertilizer. But he does remember the second year of a long term drought is sometimes worse than the first.
"I can remember 1988 and 1989. Nobody talks about the drought of 1989 but we actually got less rainfall than we did in 1988," Sejkora said.
Sejkora remembers that second big drought year came with cooler weather and more timely rains. He said there's not much farmers can do except hope history repeats itself.

The Lancaster County Council Administration Committee has completed its work on the 2016 county budget and intends to send the resulting document to the full council for consideration.
This budget leaves core governmental services vulnerable in a number of areas as follows:
On April 1, I was on my way to Pageland on Highway 601 at Charlesboro Cemetery.
There was a guy on a tractor cleaning out ditches. On down the road, there was a guy sitting in the work truck asleep. I know because I woke him up. I blew the horn twice before he woke up.
Now you see what kind of job the state does. Your tax dollars misused.

I want to thank Springs Memorial Hospital for helping me, Myra McCants, with my physical therapy for arthritis in my neck.
I went to outpatient off Plantation Road. I saw Rose, Kim and met Mitch, who was my physical therapist. Rose and Kim work in the office. I had met them when Dale, my son, went to them years ago. I'm so happy I called them for my therapy. They are the best – friendly and they know how to get that awful pain to go away.
As one of the world's most significant concerns, climate change was a major topic when utility CEOs gathered at last week's International Electricity Summit in Japan.
I was honored to represent the United States and Duke Energy at the summit. We acknowledged that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to address climate change. Each country comes at this issue based on its own unique circumstances that reflect its natural resources, economic profile, market structure and political dynamics.
If the presidential election process didn't begin in Iowa, ethanol would likely be a memory.
But because the election process begins in Iowa, where nearly half of the corn grown is converted to ethanol, most Republican candidates, who make a career of denouncing crony capitalism, have come to embrace the ethanol mandate, even as they decry Obamacare for forcing Americans to have health insurance.
Just in time for the 45th anniversary of Earth Day today, the U.S. Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee has made it official: U.S. consumption of animal products is not environmentally sustainable at current levels.
Their conclusion matches those of a comprehensive 2010 United Nations finding that a global shift towards a vegan diet is vital to save the world from hunger, fuel poverty and climate change.
Once, there was a great land where the people dreamed of being free from an oppressive monarchy. They suffered great insult and loss of freedom until they rose up and threw off the evil king.
This letter is in reference to "Obama locks out everyone" in the April 10 newspaper by guest columnist Rudy Schmidt.
The analogy of the suicide and murder of 149 people to the actions of President Barack Obama is tasteless. You can disagree with all that Obama has done during his term as president, but his actions and your desperation are not comparable to the helplessness of 149 persons as they plummeted to their deaths.

|As with my nature images, interesting faces are bonuses I collect along the way to another landscape photo opportunity.
I've learned that it pays to be totally relaxed when shooting people pictures. An overly seriously demeanour invades the subject's private space and practically guarantees failure. Whereas a casual, friendly approach, especially if there's a language barrier, helps to create a positive interaction, but not always ... the Taiwan and Chinese soldiers didn't get it.
Great opportunities can come and go in an instant, so its vitally important to be ready ... as I was for the "Happy Vietnamese lady". Spend a second too long and you could easily lose the moment.
I've found a good lens to have at the ready is my 24-105mm, it's ideal for when you're never quite sure what you'll encounter next. It zooms from a moderately wide angle through to medium telephoto, ideal for many candid people pictures. Most of the images in this gallery were shot with this lens.
One exception is the black & white image of the "Market Vendor in Kathmandu" ... Sigma 150mm APO Macro lens set to its maximum aperture f2.8. This is my favourite portrait shot to date.

Schaumburg, Ill. (PRWEB) March 18, 2014
Gateway for Cancer Research, a nonprofit organization funding innovative cancer clinical trials around the world, is proud to announce three outstanding finalists for the 2014 Cancer Researcher of the Year. The annual award recognizes Gateway funded cancer researchers who are positively impacting the lives of today's cancer patients through the development of safer and more targeted cancer treatments.
In the spirit of patient-centered care, Gateway invites the public and cancer patient communities alike to participate in the voting process for this year's Cancer Researcher of the Year recipient. Online voting for one of three finalists is open through March 31 at http://www.DemandCuresToday.org/2014voting.
This year's finalists for Cancer Researcher of the Year include:
Nominations were opened to cancer researchers who have received funding from the Gateway for Cancer Research. To determine the finalists, Gateway's Awards Committee carefully reviewed each nominee's research for true clinical innovation, compassionate care and new discoveries that improve treatment options for today's cancer patients. On overall scientific merit and patient impact, the committee selected Drs. Drisko, Lin and Pegram as the finalists for the 2014 award.
"These researchers are making a real difference in the lives of people living with cancer today," said Domarina Oshana, Ph.D., Director of Research & Grants at Gateway for Cancer Research. "Their contributions advance our understanding of cancer and create new treatment opportunities that can help today's cancer patients to feel better, live longer and be cured."
In 2013, Dr. Pierre Yves Dietrich was honored by Gateway as the first Cancer Researcher of the Year. An accomplished medical oncologist and researcher at University Hospital Geneva in Switzerland, Dr. Dietrich's discoveries have influenced care standards for both lymphoma and brain cancer patients. Today, Dr. Dietrich is leading a Gateway-funded clinical trial to improve the prognosis of patients diagnosed with glioblastoma, one of the most prevalent and aggressive forms of brain cancer. Dr. Dietrich hopes the use of a new, robust peptide-based cancer vaccine will elicit the patient's own immune system to identify and destroy cancer cells.
Gateway will announce this year's recipient of the Cancer Researcher of the Year award at its Annual Meeting on April 16 in Schaumburg, Illinois. The Cancer Researcher of the Year honoree will be presented with a commemorative award, and a $30,000 grant will be given to the researcher's institution to further his or her award-winning work. The evening event is open to the public and will include a panel discussion on the social science of cancer. Medical attendees can earn one continuing medical education (CME) credit.
Visit http://www.DemandCuresToday.org/2014voting through March 31 to view the finalists' profiles and to cast a vote for 2014 Gateway's Cancer Researcher of the Year. For more information and to attend Gateway's Annual Meeting, call (847) 342-7450 or visit http://www.GatewayAnnualMeeting.org.

We are having an issue connecting from a PC to configure TL Ashford. It's
pretty much mandatory to have a host table entry on the PC to connect to
the system. It doesn't matter if you already have a working dns entry to
the system which works fine for your 5250, odbc, etc. The problem with
this is, when we switch over to our backup system the developer cannot
connect to 5250 or anything else because of this host table entry still
pointing to the IP address of the down system.
A workaround might be having TL Ashford connect to AshfordBullshirt and
putting in a host table entry for that. Then the only problem would be TL
Ashford development not working during a switch. His 5250 and everything
else would be fine.
I hate host table entries!
The developer says I had a workaround for his old PC but I can't remember
what it was.

Britney Spears Believe Body Souffle Reviews
LikeSmells very nice — 2 years, 6 months agoEricaF123 | 449 reviews
Great for scent layeringThe scent of this perfume translates well into the lotion and thankfully didn't somehow get that funky soapy note that often ends of in scented lotions. It is perfect for layering with the spray perfume to keep smelling good all day. Best part is that this lotion actually WORKS instead of being nothing but a tube of nasty, runny, smelly lotion like a lot of other perfumed lotions. — 5 years, 7 months agoradar626 | 322 reviews
Love it as much as I love the perfume it self!This is by far the best smelling body souffle I have tried in my life! It goes perfectly with the perfume, and if you wear it alone, it still smells marvelous! This came across as a shock to me, seeing as how other matching lotions for perfumes smells horrible and don't absorb well into the skin, making it feel greasy. Lucky for me, this one doesn't! In all honesty, I don't think I could live without any of the Believe products at all.. — 6 years, 9 months agokittielover | 62 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
Preparedness | Responses | Recovery
Emergency Preparedness
Shelter in Place
During certain emergency situations—such as armed intruder, chemical releases, radioactive material releases, and some weather emergencies—you may be advised to "shelter in place" rather than evacuate the building. These messages may be delivered through the SUN System (Skidmore Urgent Notification System).
- Go inside or stay inside the building.
- Do not use elevators.
- Shut and lock all windows and doors.
- Turn off the heat, air conditioning, or ventilation system, if you have local controls for these systems.
- Close fireplace dampers.
- Quickly locate supplies you may need, e.g., food, water, radio, etc.
- If possible, go to a room or corridor where there are no windows. In the event of a chemical release, go to an above-ground level of the building, since some chemicals are heavier than air and may seep into basements even if the windows are closed.
- If possible, monitor main College web page (www.skidmore.edu), radio, or television for further information and instructions.
- Do not call Campus Safety unless you are reporting a life-threatening situation.
- When the "all clear" is announced:
- Open windows and doors.
- Turn on heating, air conditioning, or ventilation system.
- Go outside and wait until the building has been vented.

Most of the television-viewing audience hasn't had the pleasure of hearing this smile-inducing laugh, but that's about to change with the new TV season. Machado made a name for herself with roles in dramas like "Three Rivers," in which she played a nurse dealing with incredibly sick transplant patients; "Private Practice," again playing a nurse whose heart gets stomped on by Taye Diggs' Sam Bennett; and "Six Feet Under," which featured her character being cheated on by her husband, abusing prescription drugs and sinking into a deep depression after her mother's death.
Speaking by phone from her home in Los Angeles recently on a rare day off from shooting, Machado, 41, reveled in her new comedic role.
"I love going to work and laughing and having a good time, but it's definitely hard work," she said. "It really is, because you have to figure out where the joke is. Is this the joke? Which word should I hit? It's liberating, though. As much as I love my dramatic roles, it's a little tiresome always being the damsel in distress."
In "Welcome to the Family," Machado is anything but. She plays Lisette, a fierce wife and mother of two who isn't afraid to put people in their place. The show centers on two teenagers, Molly (Ella Rae Peck), the school-averse Caucasian daughter of Caroline (Mary McCormack) and Dan (Mike O'Malley), and Junior (Joseph Haro), the Stanford-bound Latino son of Lisette and Miguel (Ricardo Chavira). The families are forced together when the teens' lives are rocked by an unplanned pregnancy.
It seems NBC is betting heavily on "Welcome to the Family," placing it on what used to be called "Must See TV" Thursday in between "Parks and Recreation" and two new shows helmed by former prime-time stars Sean Hayes and Michael J. Fox. While Machado is known for her dramatic roles, Haro said she has a natural comic sensibility that can crack up everyone on set.
"It takes a lot of commitment to pull off a drama with emotion and stakes, and it's really the same with comedy," he said separately by phone. "I think what helps her, too, is that she's musical and she sings all the time, and comedy is very rhythmic in a way. She's so passionate and so full-out. She's not afraid to be silly or be too big."
For years Machado did not consider herself an actress. As a child bouncing around the Northwest Side, she danced at Franklin Fine Arts Center for a few years. She always sang (she recently had a role in Broadway's "In the Heights") and spent her teenage years playing small clubs or bars with various girl bands. She had stage presence, for sure, but theater wasn't what her parents had in mind for her future.
"I am first generation," Machado said. "My parents are from Puerto Rico. We were lower-middle class. … My family's mentality was, go and get a good job and stay in Chicago and have a family and just be responsible and just have that real Midwestern kind of life. They just didn't really think about anything else. Anything like (acting) was not something that was discussed in my house."
Needless to say, for much of her childhood Machado didn't spend a lot of time around the arts. After graduating from Lane Tech High School, Machado worked as a teller at First American Bank in the Loop while soul-searching for what to do next.
That was when Myrna Salazar, an agent with her own company, Salazar & Navas, saw that Machado, her daughter's friend, had a distinct X factor.
"It was a force from within her that sent me vibrations," Salazar said. "It was a gut feeling. … She is short, but when she stands on stage she is 7 feet tall."
Salazar sent Machado on an audition at the now defunct Latino Chicago Theater Company, and Machado landed a role.
"She was really solid," said Juan Ramirez, former artistic director of the company. "She was older than her years, but at the same time she had this spontaneity and this ability to explode at a moment's notice. It was just in her."
It took four or five productions for Machado to see her work with the company as more than a hobby. (She worked on 20 productions in five years with the company before leaving for New York and then LA.)
"I was putting myself in a box, like, 'Yeah, this is cool for right now until I figure out what I am going to do,'" Machado said. "Then finally it was like, 'No, this is what I am doing, and this is an honorable profession and I am good at it. People might not understand, but I am going to go for it.'"
Machado's strong commitment to character is one of the qualities that intrigued Mike Sikowitz, creator, writer and executive producer of "Welcome to the Family."
"She has big energy and is strong, which we thought we needed because Ricardo is strong and Mike is strong and Mary is strong," he said. "On this show, we don't want to do the sitcom thing where the wives take the back seat and don't have as much of the funny (lines) or as much of the story."

Mustang MonthlyCar Reviews
Track Test Shelby G.T. 350
In January 1965, Sports Car Graphic writer and soon-to-be Shelby team driver Jerry Titus tested the first competition G.T. 350
With a high center of gravity, a butt-headed silhouette, a theoretically unsophisticated suspension system, a heavy forward weight bias, and a pot full of other limitations when considered as a race car, the Mustang is no "piece of cake" to convert to such an application. However, there are a bunch of imported sports cars with the same limitations, so Miles had plenty of experience to draw on, combined with many of the recent developments to come out of Shelby American as a result of their intense racing and research programs. While held to the basic Mustang configuration, their hands were relatively free to alter as they saw fit. After all, it was to be a separate model. Cost was a primary consideration, as they hope to hold the price of the street version to under $4,000 and the ready-to-race machine to under $6,000.
The first move was to reduce weight. Replacing the rear seats and upholstery with light pressed-paper trim and having the racing model assembled in San Jose less sound deadening and undercoating amounted to a huge chunk. In the racing version, the side windows are replaced with pull-up plexiglass units and all the internal regulator mechanism removed. The hood is duplicated in fiberglass. The front bumper is removed and the gravel guard behind it is replaced with a reshaped fiberglass covering that greatly increases air intake to the radiator. The small and somewhat functional vents in the fastback are removed and blanketed out via a fiberglass insert. These fancy little grille assemblies weigh 14 pounds each. The front seats are replaced by glass buckets, very light and efficient ones that retain the adjustment tracks.
Photo GalleryView Photo Gallery
With just about the maximum in weight savings accomplished, it was then necessary to put pounds back into the car in the form of competition options. The street car will have six-inch rims on steel wheels. The race car uses seven-inch wide magnesium wheels. Both are 15 inches in diameter. Goodyear 6.50/6.70 "Red Dots" are mounted for competition. Brakes are disc in front and 10 x 2.5-inch drums in the rear. These are borrowed from bigger cars in the Ford family. The live rearend is of Galaxie derivation with limited-slip and heavy-duty axles. The street model gets an "export," or heavy-duty, radiator. The racing version uses a Galaxie HD/Air Conditioning radiator with a very large oil cooler mounted directly behind it. Both have the Mustang HD suspension with an extra fat front sway bar and Koni shocks. For better rear axle control, the race car has special radius rods or torque arms in the rear that run above the leaf springs and into the unitized body near the front pivots of these springs. For better geometry in the front, the inner pivot points of both upper and lower control arms are altered—the top arm lowered and the lower arm moved outboard. Despite these additions, the racing model tips the scale at a mere 2,153 pounds.
The 289 High Performance is the powerplant in both models, but the racing version is a hand-assembled unit with a special camshaft, roughly the same except for a grand's worth of tender, loving care that net it a 20-percent increase in performance. Both use the new Holley four-barrel with a special intake manifold. A very efficient set of side-routed headers are used for racing. The competition engine has a large, steel sump; the street version a cast-aluminum pan with extra capacity and big fins. Both connect to Ford's close-ratio four-speed transmission.

St Andrew, Westhall
www.suffolkchurches.com - a journey through the churches of Suffolk
Listen: come with me. Well set off from the Queens Head at Blyford, a fine and welcoming pub across the road from that villages little church. Perhaps well have just had lunch, and well be sitting outside with a couple of pints of Adnams. Youd like to stay there in the sunshine for the rest of the afternoon, but Im going to take you somewhere special, so stir yourself. You are probably thinking it is Holy Trinity at Blythburgh, Suffolks finest church a couple of miles away on the main A12. But it isnt.
Nor is it St Andrew at Wenhaston, a mile away across the bridge, and home of the Doom, one of Suffolks greatest medieval art treasures. Youve already seen that.
No. Within a few miles of the pub sign (notice that it features St Etheldreda, whose father King Anna was killed in battle on the Blyth marshes) there is a third of Suffolks finest churches. It is the least known of the three, partly because it is so carefully hidden, so secreted away, and partly because Simon Jenkins, inconceivably, unforgivably, missed it out of his book Englands Thousand Best Churches.This may yet have serious consequences, as we shall see.
Blyford is on the main road between Halesworth and Dunwich, but we are going to take a narrow lane that you might almost miss if you werent with me. It leads northwards, and is quickly enveloped by oak-buttressed hedgerows, beyond which thin fields spread. Pheasants scuttle across the road in front of us; a hare watches warily for a moment before kicking sulkily back into the ditch (we are on foot perhaps, or bicycle). Occasional lanes thread off towards the woods and the sea.
After a couple of miles, we reach the obscenity of a main road, and cross it quickly, leaving it behind us. Now, the lane narrows severely, the banks steepening, trees arching above us. They guard the silence, until our tunnel doglegs suddenly, and an obscure stream appears beyond the hedgerow. Once, on a late winter afternoon, my dream was disturbed here by a startled heron rising up, its bony legs clacking dryly as it took flight over my head. I felt the rush of its wings.
This road was not designed for cars. Instead, it traces the ancient field pattern, cutting across the ends of strips and then along the sides, connecting long-vanished settlements. The lane splits (we take the right fork) and splits again (the left) and suddenly we are descending steeply into a secret glade shrouded in ancient tree canopies. The lane curves, narrows and opens and here we are. Still, you might not notice it, because the church is still camouflaged by the trees, and the absurdity of the neighbouring bungalow with its kitschy garden may distract you; but to your right, in a silent velvet graveyard sits St Andrew, Westhall. It has been described by my friend Aidan Semmens as Suffolks best kept secret.
I hope that I can convey to you something of why this place is so special. Firstly, notice the unusual layout of the building as you walk around it. That fine late 13th century tower, not too high despite its post-Reformation bell-stage, organic and at one with the trees; the breathtaking little Norman church that spreads to the east of it. And then, to the north, a large 13th century nave, thatched and rustic. It was designed for this graveyard, for this glade. Neither has changed much. Beyond it, the grand 14th century chancel, rudely filling almost the entire east end of the graveyard. Perhaps as we step around to the north side the same thing will happen as happened to me one muggy Saturday afternoon in July 2003 a tawny owl sat watching me on a headstone, and then threw itself furiously into the air and away.
Your first thought may be that here we have two churches joined together and this is almost exactly right. You can see the same thing on a similar timescale at Ufford, although the development there is rather more subtle than it is here. A better comparison is Elveden, where, although the new church was built in the 20th century, there is a similarity in harmony and scale.
Here at Westhall, there was a Norman church an early one. Several hundred years later a tower was built to the west of it, and then the vast new nave to the north. A hundred years later came the chancel. Perhaps the east end of the Norman church was rebuilt at this time. Mortlock thinks that there was once a Norman chancel, and this may be so. The old church became a south aisle, the particular preserve perhaps of the Bohun family. They married into the famous Coke family, who we have already met at nearby Bramfield.
And so, we step inside. We may do so through the fine north porch; it is a wide, open one, clearly intended for the carrying out of parish business. It was probably the last substantial part of the church to be built, on the eve of the Reformation. The door appears contemporary. Or, I might send you round to step in through the Norman doorway on the south side, into the body of the original church.
You expect dust and decay, perhaps, in such a remote place. But this is a well-kept church, lovingly maintained and well-used. Although there are a couple of old benches scattered about, most of the seating is early 19th century, with that delightful cinema curve to the western row which was fashionable immediately before the Oxford Movement and the Camden Society sent out their great resacramentalising waves, and English churches were never the same again.
If you step in from the south, then you are immediately confronted with something so stunning, so utterly wonderful, that we are going to pretend you cannot believe your eyes, and you pass it by. Instead, draw back the curtain, and step into the space beneath the tower. Walk to the western wall, and turn back.
You are confronted with the main entrance of a grand post-conquest church, probably about 1100. Surviving faces in the unfinished ranges look like something out of Wallace and Grommit. Above, an arcade of windows, the central one open. Almost a thousand years ago, it would have thrown summer evening light on the altar.
As you step back into the aisle, it is now easy to see it as the nave it once was. The northern wall has now gone, replaced by a low arcade, and you step through into the wideness of the modern (it is only 600 years old!) nave.
Here, then, let us at last allow ourselves an exploration of Suffolks other great medieval art survival. This is Westhalls famous font, one of the seven sacrament series, but more haunting than all the others because it still retains almost all its original colour.
The Mass panel is the most familiar, because it is the cover of Eamonn Duffys majestic The Stripping of the Altars. The other panels, anti-clockwise from this, are Last Rites, Reconciliation, Matrimony, Confirmation, Baptism, Ordination, and the odd panel out, the Baptism of Christ. Hover to read and click on the small images below to see the bowl panels enlarged.
The font asks more questions than it answers. How did it survive? Suffolk has 13 Seven Sacrament fonts in various states of repair. Those nearby at Blythburgh, Wenhaston and Southwold are clearly from the same group as this one, but have been completely effaced. Other good ones survive nearby at Weston and Great Glemham, at Monk Soham, at neighbours Woodbridge and Melton, neighbours Cratfield and Laxfield, at Denston in the south west and at Badingham. We dont know how many others there might have been; probably not many, for most East Anglian churches have a surviving medieval font of another design. The surviving panels were probably plastered over during the long puritan night (the damage to the figures is probably a result of making the faces flush rather than any attempt at iconoclasm) but they were also all probably once coloured. So why has only this one survived in that state?
The other feature of the font that is quite, quite extraordinary is the application of gessowork for the tabernacled figures between the faces. This is plaster of Paris which is moulded on and allowed to dry it can then be carved. It is sometimes used on wood to achieve fine details, but rarely on stone. Was it once found widely elsewhere? How has it survived here?
If it was just for the font, then St Andrew would still be an essential destination for anyone interested in medieval churches. But there are several other features that, in any other church, would be considered equally essential.
There is the screen. It is a bit of a curiosity. Firstly, the two painted ranges are clearly the work of different artists. On the south side are female Saints, very similar in style to those on the screen at Ufford. The artists helpfully labelled them, and they are St Etheldreda (the panel bearing her left half has been lost) St Sitha, St Agnes, St Bridget, St Catherine, St Dorothy, St Margaret of Aleppo and finally one of the most essential Saints in the medieval economy of grace, St Apollonia - she it was who could be asked to intercede against toothache. With the possible exception of St Margaret, modern Anglicans would think of all of these as peculiarly Catholic Saints, a reminder that St Andrew was built, after all, as a Catholic church.
The depictions on the northern part of the screen are much simpler (Pevsner thought them crude) and are probably painted by a local artist. Note the dedicatory inscription along the top on this side; it is barely legible, but the names Margarete and Tome Felton and Richard Lore and Margaret Alen are still discernible. I think the figures on this screen are equally fascinating, if not more so. They are all easily recognisable, and are fondly rendered. With one remarkable exception, they are familiar to us from many popular images.
The first is Saint James in his pilgrim's garb, as if about to set out for Santiago de Compostella. The power of such an image to medieval people in a backwater like north-east Suffolk should not be underestimated. Next comes St Leonard, associated with the Christian duty of visiting prisoners - perhaps this had a local resonance. Thirdly, there is a triumphant St Michael, one of the major Saints of the late medieval panoply, and then St Clement, the patron Saint of seafarers. This is interesting, because although Westhall is a good six miles from the sea, it is much closer to the Blyth river, which was probably much wider and faster in medieval times. It seems strange to think of Westhall as having a relationship with the sea, but it probably did.
Next comes the remarkable exception. The next three panels represent between them the Transfiguration; Christ on a mountain top between the two figures of Moses and Elijah. It is the only surviving medieval screen representation of the Transfiguration in England. Eamonn Duffy, in The Stripping of the Altars, argues that here at Westhall is priceless evidence of the emergence of a new cult on the eve of the Reformation, which would snuff it out. Another representation survived in a wall painting at Hawkedon, but has faded away during the last half century.
The last panel is St Anthony of Egypt, recognisable from the dear little pig at his feet. I wonder if it was painted from the life. The panels are below; hover on them to read and click on them to see them enlarged.
There is a fascinating wall painting against the north wall. It shows St Christopher, as you might expect. St Christopher was a special devotion in the hearts of medieval churchgoers, and usually sits opposite the main entrance so that they could look in at the start of the day and receive his blessing. As a surviving inscription at Creeting St Peter reminds us, anyone who looks on the image in the morning would be spared a sudden death that day. It is the other figures in the illustration that are remarkable, though, for one of them is clearly Moses, wearing his horns of light (an early medieval mistranslation of halo).
There are a couple of other wall-paintings, including a beautiful flower-surrounded consecration cross beside the south door, and a painted image niche alcove in the eastern splay of a window in the south wall. This is odd; it should have a figure in it, but none appears to have been painted there. Perhaps it was intended to have a statue placed in front of it, but the window sill is very steep, and it is hard to see how a statue could have been positioned there. DD surmised that there had once been a stand, the base of which was canted in some manner, and that the sill had once been less steep (the base of the painting seems to suggest this). Whatever, it is very odd.
Between the painted niche and consecration cross there are surviving traces of a large painting; it seems to consist of the leafy surrounds of seven large roundels. Mortlock wondered if it might have been a sequence of the Seven Works of Mercy as at Trotton in Sussex, but there is insufficient remaining to tell.
Nicholas Bohun's tomb, in very poor repair, sits in the south-east corner; an associated brass gives you rather more information than you my might think you need. A George III royal arms hangs above.
If you haven't lost your appetite for the extraordinary, come back up into the apparently completely Victorianised chancel. Chalice brasses are incredibly rare, because of their Catholic imagery. Westhall had two of them, although unfortunately only the matrices survive. Then, look up; on one of the roof beams is an image of the Holy Trinity, with God the Father holding the Crucified Christ between his knees. There is probably a dove as well, although that is not visible from the ground. Indeed, as DD observed, the whole thing is too small, as if the artist hadn't really thought about the scale needed for it to be seen from the chancel floor.
One thing I've never been able to understand on my many visits here is the wooden panelling set into the wall beneath the north-eastern window in the nave. It seems to be hollow behind. Are the panels covering a hole? There is no evidence on the other side. Were they the back of some kind of feature? DD thought they were a pair of old doors, and he's probably right.
So, you will want to come and see all this. How will you get in? St Andrew used to be locked with a keyholder, but it is now open every day. I am pleased to tell you that the churchwarden I rang seemed almost affronted that I might think it would be locked. He arranged to come down and say hello while we were there.
The other churchwarden who came to lock up at about 7pm found us still busy; he fiddled about up the bell tower for a while, and then found we were outside taking photos. The conversation went something like this:
Him: I've got to go now, but I'll leave the church open in case you want to go back inside.
Us: No, it's okay, you can lock it, we've finished in there.
Him: No, you can lock it yourselves - just bolt it all up inside, and let yourself out the chancel door.
Us: No, really, we have finished.
Him: I'll go now, then. If you could just lock the church up before you leave, please. (exit.)
So that's what we did. Having experienced keyholders in the past (not in Suffolk) who have refused to let me in, it was rather wonderful to encounter one who refused to lock us out!
I said earlier that I was afraid Simon Jenkinss omission of this church might have serious consequences. Here is why: there is an ongoing programme of essential repairs, and the church needs to raise £80,000 at fairly short notice. The parish has less than a hundred people living in it, and the congregation is barely in double figures. The church is clearly a national treasure, and its continued survival is essential; but it is difficult to convince people of this, because it has been missed out of what is increasingly being treated as a heritage wish-list. It was bad enough that Pevsners books were used as arbiters of what should survive when redundancies loomed in the 1970s; it would be appalling if the Jenkins book was used in the same way now.
St Andrew, Westhall is located just north of the Southwold to Halesworth road. It is open every day in British Summer Time, and at weekends for the rest of the year.

Joined: Dec 2005

The first "real" dirt bikes that many of us old guys ever experienced were very far removed from what anyone could consider as a dirt bike today. Back before my time the Harley Sportsters and Triumph Trophys were considered dirt bikes except for a few English 350cc and 500cc singles.
For those of us who entered motorcycling in the mid-sixties the first dirt bike we were exposed to were the Honda CL72's and CL77's (or the Trail 90). The Honda 305 Scrambler was a high piped 350lb twin with a generous 3-1/2" of travel in the front fork. It won Baja, introduced thousands of us to off-road adventures, left burn scars on the inside of our left leg when it fell on us and made a glorious sound unlike any bike before or since. They were big, (relatively) fast and looked cool and it was my first motorcycle. It was true pig off road but when you're sixteen who cares - it was fun.
Yamaha changed the world when it introduced the DT-1 250cc in 1968. Sure there were other two stoke dirt bikes out there (who can forget Hodakas?) but the DT-1 was the first mass produced, relatively light motorcycle that was available in huge quantities to feed the growing off-road market. At one time almost half the guys I knew who had motorcycles owned a DT-1 (myself included). They didn't handle that well and you fell down a lot but they really dragged a lot of guys into the sport.
Then came "On Any Sunday" and Huskys became the thing to have - a friend of mine got a Husky 360 - he was the fastest guy in the pack without question. I bought an Ossa - it came equipped with knobbys and better suspension than the Yamaha and I stopped falling down so much. The dirt bike world exploded with new models coming out faster than you could keep track but I'd say those old 305 Hondas were the seed bike for a lot of us fifty-somethings.
